Another World Farmer's Story of Farming

Chapter 139 Atmosphere
Bai Xiaoyu and Liu Zijun were whispering to each other while they were talking, but the words they said, apart from asking why Liu Zijun was here at the very beginning, were all about talking Some everyday things.

Or talk about Liu Zijun's current working environment, or talk about the parenting experience that Bai Xiaoyu just learned from Liu Qinshi and Zhang Shi, but such topics need to be lowered even more.

Mr. Liu did not say a few words from the beginning to the end, but sat silently alone, but what made everyone feel that Mr. Liu was a little depressed, Bai Xiaoyu and Liu Zijun It felt like he was angry.

Over there, Liu Ziqing and the old man couldn't care whether the people in the room were getting along with each other, and they kept hitting Mr. Yu with their ideas. Naturally, they wouldn't ignore Liang.

Although Liu Ziqing's errand has come down now, and Liu Zhu'er has become the fourth wife of the county magistrate, but don't forget that Liu Zhu'er is just a woman, and she is the kind of woman who has a temper and no brains. Becoming a victim of the struggle in the back house, this point, as shrewd as Liu Ziqing, would know that relying on the blessing of a woman is definitely not as strong as building a good relationship with Mr. Yu, the leader of the county government.

Moreover, the attitude of the county magistrate marrying the fourth wife shows that there will be fifth and sixth wives in the future.Duan Duan will not escort him for a long time.

Last time, because of some of his recklessness, he offended Mr. Yu and Yu Liang. After thinking about it, both of them have a good reputation outside, so naturally they would not fall in love with one or two village girls.Even if they fell in love, with this method, no matter what they think, it will not look good in face.So Liu Ziqing, who consciously behaved a little wrongly, invited Mr. Yu and Yu Liang to his family banquet today, which inevitably contained the meaning of apologizing. Naturally, the most important thing was to build a relationship.

Regarding this matter, Bai Xiaoyu and the others could understand it at a glance, so they all kept a low profile. No one tried to snatch Liu Ziqing's right to speak, and basically they would not take the initiative to talk to Mr. Yu or Yu Liang.

But even after working hard for a while, Mr. Yu pretended not to notice Liu Ziqing's overtures.Liu Ziqing gritted his teeth frequently.As for Yu Liang, he was even more disdainful of Liu Ziqing's deliberate ingratiation.As a young man himself, he is proud and arrogant. He naturally despises dissatisfied people and doesn't bother to speak. Therefore, except for the sharp questions that must be answered, he will be perfunctory. Other words are basically Do not participate in a discussion.

I don't know why, so I just talked about the topic of my hometown. When Mr. Yu learned that the Liu family was not a local, but moved from the old man's generation because of the previous war, he suddenly asked everyone: "Then the old man The daughters-in-law are also locals, right?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, thinking it was Mr. Yu's casual question, of course he couldn't answer casually, so he said: "No, it happened so many years ago, and the daughters-in-law are all from our ten miles and eight villages. In a town, it can be regarded as a home here now, and I can't think about the past for a long time!"

Mr. Yu nodded, but when people thought he would change the subject, he looked directly at Bai Xiaoyu and said, "I always thought that the third daughter-in-law, the old man, looks extraordinary, and she is also from the village near you?"

Bai Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows, but Liu Zijun frowned. Although there was no malice in Mr. Yu's eyes, he didn't like his wife being stared at like this.

The other people were also taken aback, looking at Bai Xiaoyu, wanting to know if they were familiar with Mr. Yu.

Bai Xiaoyu naturally noticed the eyes of everyone, and in order to prevent them from thinking about it, he said to Mr. Yu: "Mr. Yu only stayed at our house once, and met him in a small restaurant later, so why do you think I am extraordinary?" ?”

Suddenly, Mr. Yu smiled and said: "It's just that I don't feel like a country woman, but like a lady from a big family. I just ask casually. If it's inconvenient, don't answer!"

Bai Xiaoyu gently picked up the teacup and ignored it, while Liu Ziqing laughed and said quickly, "What's the inconvenience? My three siblings are from Hetian Village near our Liushu Village. Their surname is Bai. They used to be Bai, a big landlord. What about the young lady of the family. Because of the marriage that was established when I was young, I got married when I reached the age! This person who has been able to read and write since childhood is naturally different from the ordinary ignorant village women in the countryside!"

Liu Ziqing's words answered Mr. Yu's words, and indeed everyone present, including Mr. Yu, frowned and got angry.

Not to mention how unreasonable it is to describe the private affairs of his younger siblings to outsiders, but the latter sentence of "the country's ignorant village woman" made him scold all the women present except Bai Xiaoyu, including himself mother and daughter.

Therefore, even though she knew that her son was trying to please Mr. Yu, Liu Zheng's face inevitably became ugly.

The reason why the old man was angry was because he heard the serious division of ranks from Liu Ziqing's mouth.That is, the difficult celestial body between city people and country people is not only the difference in the area where they live. In Liu Ziqing's world, he himself has become a city person and a master.And Liu Zhengshi is what he called "the ignorant village woman in the countryside".Naturally, he secretly thought that he was an ignorant peasant!
All of a sudden, the old man remembered what Liu Zhu'er said back then. In Liu Zhu'er's eyes, these farmers are the lowest "mud-legged people", aren't they?

His heart tightened, even though he knew he shouldn't think about these things at this time, the old man still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Two of his three children made him feel cold, and one was not very caring since he was a child.Involuntarily, the old man felt a burst of sadness out of thin air.

Liu Ziqing has been dazzled by joy these days, and he doesn't know how many people he offended with his words just now, but at this moment, he saw the old man help his forehead with a little anger, and asked nervously, "Father, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

The old man stared at him with cloudy eyes, and after a while he moved his lips and said softly, "It's okay!"

The voice was so soft that almost none of the people at the scene heard it clearly, but fortunately Liu Ziqing was not far away, and he was paying attention to the old man. After knowing what the old man said, he smiled and said to Mr. Yu: "Mr. Yu laughed at me. My father is getting old and he just can't be idle. He has to take care of everything in the family's crops, and he doesn't do anything to enjoy himself. That's why headaches and brain fevers have become a common occurrence."

Mr. Yu nodded, naturally knowing that Liu Ziqing didn't want them to dismiss the banquet with an excuse. After all, everyone has already seen it. At this time, several people were already waiting impatiently, including Mr. Yu and Yu Liang. The person who waited was the county magistrate.

But after saying this, the filial son Liu Ziqing tried his best to maintain all night was greatly reduced.

Next, it was still Liu Ziqing who took the trouble to talk about various topics and opinions, hoping to resonate with Mr. Yu, but Mr. Yu always seemed to be out of interest. One could clearly feel his impatience.

The old man changed from his previous behavior of following Liu Ziqing to find topics frequently, and became like Third Master Liu. He began to immerse himself in his own world, rarely speaking, but his face didn't change much.Naturally, this can't be hidden from Liu Zhengshi who is beside him, but obviously, even this woman who has lived with him for so many years does not dare to provoke the old man at this time.As a result, the atmosphere at the scene was once awkward.

Just when Liu Ziqing was almost unable to maintain a smile on his face to deal with his husband, he saw the door of the wing room being pushed open, and a bunch of people walked in.

The first thing that caught my eye was naturally the two leaders, one was a middle-aged man in a fine attire, and the other was of course Liu Zhu'er, who was dressed in a bright red color and dressed in all kinds of charms.In addition, there are more than ten servant girls guarding behind him.

When Liu Ziqing saw the person coming, he immediately got up and followed the crowd to salute.

Bai Xiaoyu frowned tightly, fearing that the person in front of her would make everyone kneel down, but fortunately, she didn't know if it was because of the custom, or because she thought it was a family feast, and in the end everyone followed Liu Ziqing and bowed slightly .

The county magistrate's surname is Cheng, his name is Cheng Zong, and he is also a foreigner. He was assigned to sit here as the magistrate. Liu Zhu'er is his third concubine, the fourth wife, and the one I met last time was given by Bai Xiaosong. The one who is recognized as the elder sister is the third wife.As for the second wife, she died a long time ago because of being dirty with the servants of the family.The eldest lady has never been mentioned before, but the woman who can prevent the second wife from being killed, but can't stop the husband's concubines from carrying them home one by one, is a contradictory person in itself!
Cheng Zong is not like Bai Xiaoyu imagined, a middle-aged man with a fat belly, not tall, not even a few hairs on his head, with two small mustaches on his mouth, and a pair of pea eyes that look obscene from time to time. of light.In fact, Chengzong himself was tall and tall, not like a civil servant, but like a warrior. Although his face was not handsome, it was definitely not as cruel as she imagined.The most important point is that Chengzong looks like a good old man, the kind that makes people suspect that the person in front of him will definitely not do bad things at a glance.

Such a deceptive appearance made Bai Xiaoyu almost believe that maybe what happened to Bao'er before was just Liu Ziqing's own intention, rather than his participation.Because that face looked so honest.
