peasant young lady

Chapter 255 Are you gloating?

Cheng Xia found that his mind was aroused again, maybe he cried too much in the past two days, and his reaction ability declined for a while.How can she tell Yang Dalang about the emperor who can be a carpenter, and the emperor has not yet been born.

Cheng Xia grinned and trembled in his heart, "Well, how did you think of making this kind of bunk bed?"

"High and low beds?" Yang Dalang repeated it twice while polishing the wood next to him, and suddenly laughed, "You can call it a high and low bed, but it's concise and to the point. I just thought that Xiaolong and Cheng You need to have their own beds and separate them into two families." There is not such a big place to put it, so I thought about stacking two beds together, one high and one low, which is just right." Yang Dalang explained seriously, and continued to look back at Cheng Xia, "You haven't told me yet , who is the carpenter emperor?"

Uh, Cheng Xia pursed her lips, Yang Dalang was not fooled this time, hey, what should she say?
Isn’t the famous carpenter emperor in history the penultimate emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Xi Zong Zhu Youxiao, who was born far after 110.This Zhu Youxiao is the half-brother of Emperor Chongzhen. The transfer of the palace, the Donglin party struggle, the battle of Ningyuan, and the apocalypse explosion all happened during his reign as emperor. One of the more famous things about this carpenter emperor is that he favored Wei Zhongxian , Provoking anger and resentment to the people.

Aside from these battles in the court, Zhu Youxiao is a person who has a special interest in ax and paint. He is tired of the so-called "ancestral law Yao and Shun, charter civil and military", but he is obsessed with axes, saws and planes alone. Skilled enough to leave most skilled craftsmen behind, so talented that you have to obey.

However, Cheng Xia smiled obsequiously at Yang Dalang, "I read miscellaneous books, alas, that is, some people made it up by themselves when they have nothing to do. In fact, there is no such person."

Seeing her appearance, Yang Dalang laughed immediately, "This fabrication of the emperor will cost you your head."

"Head off?" Cheng Xia was taken aback. There are too many unofficial history books about the emperor handed down from various dynasties, and I have never seen these people lose their heads. Cheng Xia pouted in disbelief, "It's not a literary prison."

"Word prison?" Yang Dalang wanted to tease Cheng Xia, but he didn't want her to say that he didn't know more.

"That," Cheng Xia smiled brightly, showing two rows of big white teeth that were brushed evenly. Just as he was about to find another excuse to enamel the past, Yang Dalang frowned instantly and sighed suddenly, "I see, what you said about literal prison , is it similar to Yang Yun being hated by Emperor Xuan because of the "Book of Baosun Huizong"?"

When Cheng Xia heard this, he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's what it means. Oh, you're so smart."

Yang Yun is the grandson of Sima Qian. He wrote a "Report to Sun Huizong". In the letter, Yang Yun used poems to satirize the government. To be cut in half for the crime of treason, this is a bloody literary prison.

Talking about this, Cheng Xia suddenly realized that although the literary inquisition flourished most during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the current Ming Dynasty should not be underestimated. Most of them were literati who were executed because they misused a word.Cheng Xia shivered instantly, she carefully touched the little jade pendant hanging around her neck, it was the gold medal for avoiding death given to her by Princess Yongqing, Cheng Xia felt a little relieved after touching it.

Fortunately, she is far away from the capital, and she has a talisman, so she will not lose her head inadvertently.

Yang Dalang noticed Cheng Xia's small movements, and immediately smiled, "No one chopped off your head."

Cheng Xia curled her lips, "That's not necessarily true. Accidents and tomorrow will never know which will come first. I have a Dinghaishen needle to reassure me. I am more at ease."

Yang Dalang slapped her with a smile, "I'm here, I'm always worried that some will disappear."

"Yeah," Cheng Xia smiled instantly, leaned forward and rubbed against Yang Dalang's chest, "With you, I'm not afraid of anything."

Yang Dalang rubbed the top of Cheng Xia's hair, spread his hands covered with sawdust and dirt, "If you keep rubbing like this, I won't guarantee that you won't seek some benefits."

Cheng Xia jumped a few steps away in an instant, and let him continue to arrange the bunk and low beds that were almost completed, while he ran back to the room to cook for the two children.

There are still a lot of ingredients in the house, Cheng Xia quickly prepared three dishes and one soup, returned to the room and looked at Xiaolong and Cheng You who were still sleeping, and Cheng Xia picked a lot from the tree behind the house. There are few chestnuts, and crispy chestnut cakes are made.

The chestnut cakes are golden, crispy and soft, extremely sweet, and more pleasing to children.

Before she brought the chestnuts to the room, she saw Xiaolong jumping towards him, followed by Cheng You, and the two of them looked much better. After all, they are children. Can restore a lot of energy.

Yang Dalang also took care of the final aftermath of the bunk bed, and Cheng Xia hurried over to carry the bed in with him.Fortunately, Yang Dalang made the bunk bed too small. If it was the one she had seen in modern times, she would not be able to lift it even if she was killed.

Putting the bunk bed in the inner room, Cheng Xia tidied it up again carefully, dealt with the places that might have been drawn to them, then spread the bedding, and went to the door to pick some chrysanthemums for decoration, it looked really beautiful. .

After dinner, the two children couldn't wait to go into the house and go to bed.Cheng You was still a little sad and depressed all the time. Although he could speak, his smile seemed to have disappeared, and his face was covered with a calmness and gloom that did not belong to him.

Cheng Xia lay in Yang Dalang's arms and grabbed the clothes on his chest, "I'm afraid my little brother won't laugh anymore."

"No," Yang Dalang caressed her hair, "Didn't you say, who knows what will happen in the future?" Seeing Cheng Xia yawning constantly, Yang Dalang patted her on the back lightly, "Go to sleep." , don't think too much, he is already by our side, and we will never experience those things again in the future, the worst time has passed."

Cheng Xia listened to Yang Dalang's words and went to sleep contentedly.

After breakfast on the second day, just as Yang Dalang took Xiaolong and Cheng You to practice on a flat ground a little far away, an unexpected visitor came to the house, and he was an unwelcome and uninvited person.Cheng Xia originally wanted to blow him out, but he couldn't prevent the other party from being too thick-skinned and forced his way through the door.

Cheng Xia shrugged, without any intention of giving up his seat, "What's your boss doing here?"

Seeing Cheng Xia's attitude, Zhang's grandfather wanted to kick the table, but he endured it and said coldly, "You asked the county magistrate to go to the town to arrest your cousin?"

Cheng Xia raised her eyebrows, looked at him puzzled, and sneered, "You came here to ask this? Didn't you remind you at that time, let him run away, why, didn't he run away? Was he arrested? "

Zhang's grandfather frowned displeasedly, "Are you gloating?"

"Oh," Cheng Xia laughed and shook her head, "Am I so unobtrusive? You didn't realize it until now?"

Grandfather Zhang's face turned cold for a moment, and he sat on the table beside him, "You are so rebellious to the elders, but I don't have the same knowledge as you today. You set fire to the Zhang family, so I don't care about you, but now , you go to the county magistrate to let him release your cousin."

"What?" Cheng Xia plucked his ears, blinked and looked at Grandpa Zhang uncertainly, "Are you kidding, you are the county government office run by my family, I let people in and he can go in, I let him in If he comes out, he has to come out? Besides, I wish that my cousin would stay in there for the rest of his life, let me get him out, are you insane?"

"You bastard!" Zhang's grandfather slapped the table, "You have repeatedly contradicted me, I can bear it, but you must listen to me about this matter, our family has been embarrassing enough for the past two days, if there is someone in the family If we stay in prison, our face will be even more embarrassing."

"Our family? When did I belong to your family?" Cheng Xia snorted disdainfully, "It's just a joke. It has nothing to do with me if your Zhang family loses face. I only wish I didn't let you lose more thoroughly. .”

Cheng Xia pointed impatiently at the door, "Let's go, let's go, you are not welcome at my house, you and I have always disliked each other, so don't get close to me in the future, it will be annoying to watch."

"I don't know how to lift!"

"Yes," Cheng Xia nodded, "so, walk slowly."

"Hmph!" Zhang's grandfather flicked his sleeves violently, and said, "Wait for me to rescue your cousin, and then come back to make you look good."Then go.

In the next few days, Cheng Xia's heart was filled with unprecedented peace, and every day he took Cheng You and Xiaolong up the mountain to enjoy the chrysanthemums, or went to the lake in the forbidden area of ​​death to catch fish, or to swing on the swing set.Or, just do nothing and quietly watch Yang Dalang teach them Kung Fu.

The peppers in the past few days have also been picked in one basket after another, thinking about going to the county town tomorrow to send them to Dahua.

On the second day, Yang Dalang drove to the county seat with a car full of peppers and two children inside.

The chili sauce here in Dahua was sold out a long time ago, but she also heard about what happened to the Cheng family, and she hadn't decided whether to go back to Qingxian Village to have a look. She struggled for a long time, but she never went back.

Now seeing Cheng Xia coming, she hurriedly welcomed her in, Dahua asked anxiously, "I've heard about the Cheng family, are you okay? Are you okay, little brother?"

Cheng Xia nodded, pointed at the carriage with a smile, Dahua opened it suspiciously, and saw two guys, Cheng You and Xiaolong, jumping out, and Cheng You even jumped into Dahua's arms, "Sister-in-law, I really want to you."

Dahua choked up for a moment, she hugged Cheng You tightly, patted his back, and said sadly, "I miss you too, it's good to see that you're fine now."

Cheng Xia was afraid that Dahua and Cheng You would be hurt, so he asked Xiaolong to take Cheng You to play elsewhere, "Sister-in-law, little brother will follow me from now on."

Dahua nodded earnestly, "Following you is the best, little sister has always been the best."

"I hate it," Cheng Xia slapped the big flower, "I just know to make people happy by saying nice things."

"I'm serious," Dahua took Cheng Xia's hand and said very sincerely, "Little sister has always been the most powerful person in my opinion."

"Okay," Cheng Xia blushed when she praised her, "Tomorrow is the market again, let's start making chili sauce, otherwise we won't be able to sell it tomorrow."

"Hey," Dahua held Cheng Xia, her eyes dodged a few times, she wanted to say something but she didn't know where to start, she thought about it, and finally said, "The day before yesterday, your elder brother came to see me."
