peasant young lady

Chapter 244 Reappearance of the portrait many years ago
There are many people in the market, and even more people come to buy chili sauce.Many people laughed and joked with Cheng Xia, saying that she would not come for a while because she sold them for a while, did she intentionally lure their appetites, but Cheng Xia thought about it seriously, although she really had something to delay, she didn't have such an idea , but it seems to cater to the concept of hunger marketing.

To make these eagerly awaited people even more eager to taste the taste of chili sauce is a mistake.

But it was hard work for Dahua, and she didn't have time to relax all morning. Cheng Xia told her not to be so anxious and take it slowly. She insisted on not listening, and said why not hurry up. It would be bad if the guests were kept waiting for a long time. up.

Cheng Xia smiled and shook her head, thinking that Dahua is really suitable for doing business.

As noon approached, Cheng Xia saw that most of the chili sauce had been sold, and couldn't help but worry that the chili sauce would not be enough.She could think of it, and Yang Dalang thought of it too. He walked up to Cheng Xia with a smile, and pointed to the carriage in the yard, meaning that he would go back and bring back a cart of peppers. The market continues to sell.

Cheng Xia nodded, telling him to be careful.As a result, as soon as Yang Dalang left, Cheng Xia saw a government servant walking along the street asking for something from passers-by. Cheng Xia deliberately walked out of the shop and looked over there, but he was too far away to hear what they were talking about.

When the yacha came close, Cheng Xia didn't say anything, but the yamen recognized Cheng Xia first, and immediately greeted him with a smile, "It's you," he said, looking into the shop, "This chili sauce Did you do it?"

Cheng Xia also recognized that this yamen servant was the one who lured Cuihua last time, so she hurriedly asked Dahua to pass over a small porcelain jar of chili sauce, "We made this, a small thing is not a respect, this Take the porcelain altar and try it out."

"Hey, hey, I can't do it," the yacha repeatedly refused, "let the county magistrate know, and I won't be able to eat and walk away."

Cheng Xia saw that the yamen guard looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and she laughed immediately, and she didn't force it, "I know that the magistrate of our county is the most upright and honest, so I won't say much." Cheng Xia glanced down at him holding the He couldn't help but smile curiously, "I just don't know what you are doing?"

Yacha smiled and shook the scroll in his hand, "The new mission just sent from above is to find this person." Yacha said and opened the portrait.

Cheng Xia saw the person in the portrait, and suddenly trembled. She was not shocked by the child in the portrait, nor was it that this child was somewhat similar to Yang Dalang, but that she had seen this portrait before. In Yutang's hand.

At that time, Grandpa Li was going to the funeral, and she accidentally ran into Zhu Youtang holding this portrait on the mountain, and knew that this was an old friend he was looking for, even though it was more than ten years ago.

Now, has the day finally come?Even if Yang Dalang wants to live in Qingxian Village safely, is it impossible?
He has the idea of ​​living in seclusion, but others may not let him do so.Doesn't the appearance of this portrait now mean that Zhu Youtang, who is still the prince at this moment, must find Yang Dalang?

Seeing Cheng Xia's complexion suddenly changed, the yacha couldn't help asking, "Have you seen this person in the portrait?"

Cheng Xia quickly recovered his expression, and immediately smiled, "Aren't you kidding? This portrait was made many years ago. Who knows what this young man looks like now. If I say I have seen it before, it would be rare."

"Isn't it?" Yacha sighed and put away the scroll, complaining uncontrollably, "Isn't it embarrassing to give us such a portrait and let us go out to find someone? He's a man in his 20s, but he gave us a childish look, hey, it's hard to say."

Cheng Xia smiled in agreement, "Isn't it? This task is a bit difficult, and you still have something to look for."

"Come on," the Yachai laughed to himself, "The magistrate of the left and right counties also knows it's hard to find, so he won't make things difficult for us. Just go about your business, and I'll continue to look around."

Seeing him leave, Cheng Xia realized that her palms were sweating. She hurriedly turned her head and handed the undelivered porcelain altar to Dahua, then turned and went back to the backyard.

Yang Dalang had just left and hadn't come back so soon, she wanted to go back immediately, it was best to stop Yang Dalang on the way and prevent him from coming to the county.Although the portrait is somewhat different from Yang Dalang's, the appearance is still obvious. If the yamen's officer cross-examines him and asks again, Yang Dalang is still related to him, then Cheng Xia has no doubt that the magistrate will go to her house in person. visit.

Cheng Xia wanted to put an end to all these possibilities, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and asked Dahua to take care of the shop, and in the afternoon she came to deliver peppers to Dahua herself, and seeing that Dahua was ready, she carried Xiaolong into the county road go.

"Ma'am, don't be so anxious." Seeing Cheng Xia's flustered expression, Xiaolong couldn't help stretching out his small hand to caress her face.

"Auntie, don't be in a hurry," Cheng Xia said, but her footsteps continued.Fortunately, he met Yang Dalang who was returning to the city after being far away from the county seat, and Cheng Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Dalang jumped out of the carriage to pick up Xiaolong, seeing beads of sweat on Cheng Xia's forehead, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Cheng Xia pointed in the direction of the county seat, "There is a government officer looking for someone with your portrait from more than ten years ago."

Yang Dalang's expression froze, "A portrait when I was a child?"

Cheng Xia nodded, "On the day of Lizheng's grandpa's funeral, I came home with injuries, and you said that I shouldn't always meddle in other people's business. In fact, the person I saved that day was the crown prince who visited Weifu privately, that dog Zhao Dezhong. The official also directed and acted in a rescue scene in which a thief shouted to catch the thief. With this, he changed from a seventh-rank official to a fourth-rank official. It was also from Liu Wen that I knew that the man belonged to the crown prince. At that time, I held a portrait in my hand, which is exactly the same as the one in the hands of today's Yacha."

After hearing this, Yang Dalang became more silent. There were people coming and going on the avenue, Yang Dalang let Cheng Xia get into the car, and then turned around to go to Qingxian Village.

It seems that for a while, he can't walk around freely.

I never thought that after more than ten years, the prince would still miss his former friendship and insist on looking for him.However, no matter what the prince's purpose is, Yang Dalang doesn't want to show up. He has his own plans, and he doesn't want to step into the capital and be manipulated by others.

Returning to Qingxian Village again, Cheng Xia found Aunt Tian waiting at the door when she arrived at the Zhushe.Cheng Xia hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Aunt Tian in, "Why is Aunt Tian here?"

Aunt Tian smiled and pointed to the basket covered with cloth, she uncovered the cloth mysteriously, looked at Cheng Xia, "Your Uncle Tian must have asked me to come over and give you the clothes hanger I made, thank you Xia girl so much gone."

Cheng Xia took the hanger that Aunt Tian handed over, looked carefully, and couldn't help admiring, it was simply too delicate, much better than the modern plastic or stainless steel, the wood was delicate, the patterns were complicated, and the carving skills were even more ingenious , this doesn't look like a practical hanger, it's more suitable for being collected and observed for yourself.

"Uncle Tian is really amazing, this is too beautiful." Cheng Xia felt pleasantly surprised in his heart.

Aunt Tian smiled modestly, "Your Uncle Tian can only do this. He listened to your words and went directly to the county town to find the shopkeeper of the Tianyou Grocery Store. I heard him say that the big boss talked to him. Yes, your Uncle Tian is so happy." Aunt Tian pushed the whole basket in front of Cheng Xia, and there were at least a dozen hangers with different patterns in it, "Your Uncle Tian doesn't even know how to thank you, these, you But you must accept it."

Cheng Xia smiled politely, "Actually, Uncle Tian doesn't need to do this, so I just talked about it. It really depends on Uncle Tian."

"That's not what you said, Miss Xia, you can really change our family drastically with just a few words."

"Aunt Tian is really too polite." Cheng Xia grinned, which was too exaggerated.

But Process Xia still reminded, "Aunt Tian, ​​we can't let others know about this stuff, otherwise the villagers must ask Uncle Tian to teach them, and it will be broken."

"I know," Aunt Tian nodded quickly, "Your Uncle Tian is doing it in our own room now, and even Cheng Qiu and Dazhi are not allowed to know."

Cheng Qiu?Cheng Xia thought of Cheng Qiu's arrogant attitude and the way he didn't take Aunt Tian seriously when he left Aunt Tian's house that day, "Aunt Tian, ​​Cheng Qiu didn't go too far, did he?"

"Hey," Aunt Tian couldn't stop sighing, "What can I do with such an ancestor in the booth. Before, my father-in-law would often say a few words to her to make her calm down. Later, my father-in-law left, and your uncle Tian and I And I don't want to talk to her more, and it turned into the current situation."

Cheng Qiu must have resentment towards Grandpa Lizheng.Hey, it is really unfortunate for the family to have such a daughter-in-law, "Don't you care about Dazhi?"

"Whatever?" Aunt Tian pressed her tingling temple, "Dazhi is no longer home, since his father-in-law died, he has been working outside, no matter how much he shouts, he won't come back."

Every family has a scripture that is hard to read.

After sending Aunt Tian away, Cheng Xia looked at Yang Dalang who was reading seriously at the side, and stared at his handsome side face for a long time, "The prince must be looking for you because he missed your help to him, or, go Once you arrive in the capital, you may have some unimaginable windfalls, maybe."

Yang Dalang closed the book with a smile, looked back at Cheng Xia, "Why do I feel that you have always wanted to go to the capital?"

"Uh, is there?" Cheng Xia stroked his temples awkwardly, and said indifferently, "I think that since the Shao family has been rehabilitated, and the crown prince is looking for you again, your grandfather and siblings will definitely be punished as well." When you get back to the capital, even if you don't miss your grandfather, don't you think about your brother and sister?"

Yang Dalang lowered his eyes instantly, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Cheng Xia clapped her hands and stood up, seeing that it was noon, she wanted to call Xiaolong who was playing outside to cook together.But as soon as he left the door, he saw Cheng You running over in a panic, and said out of breath, "Second Sister, go home and have a look, mother woke up from anger."

"Woke up?" Cheng Xia frowned, "Grandma again?"

"No, it's not," Cheng You kept shaking his head.
