Chapter 181 4000 words
Le'an County is either big or small, so it's not interesting to visit more than once. But there are no other interesting places in the jurisdiction, so Jing Heng can only take Qin Xiaoxiao to wander on the street, and the two of them unexpectedly meet a
The old man who can create characters so vividly.
Qin Xiaoxiao was mesmerized and refused to leave, so Jingheng asked the old man to make a candy like hers to coax her. The little girl liked it, so she also paid for the old man to make a candy like Jingheng's.
people.
I have to say that the old man's skill at making candy figures is really good. Not only did he make the two people's clothes and hair styles look exactly the same, but he also made their appearance to a certain extent. You can tell it's the two of them at a glance.
Qin Xiaoxiao played for a while, smelling the tempting fragrance of the candy man, and opened his mouth to bite off the head with two round chirps.
Before she could put it in her mouth, Jing Heng snatched it away and lectured: "You can put anything in your mouth, and you are not afraid that it will be stained with dirt and cause stomach upset if you eat it!"
"If you don't eat it, it will melt. If it melts, you can't look at it or eat it. You might as well eat it!" Qin Xiaoxiao took the candy man back again and retorted plausibly: "I ate what I bought.
You can eat it too!”
Jing Heng was speechless, but did not return the candy man to her.
"Brother Li, please return the candy man to me quickly!" Qin Xiaoxiao was not happy and jumped on him and jumped up to grab it: "You have a candy man yourself, why are you trying to steal mine!"
Looking at the little girl jumping around like a rabbit, Jing Heng thought of teasing her and deliberately raised the candy man high: "I won't give it to you unless you don't want to eat it!"
"I don't, this is my candy man, I have to eat it!" Qin Xiaoxiao's temper also rose, and she refused to compromise. Seeing that she couldn't reach Jingheng's arm, she rolled her eyes and attacked his waist with both hands.
: "Hehe, let's see if you give it to me!"
"Haha, stinky, stinky girl, don't scratch, haha~" There is no child who is not afraid of tickling. Jing Heng, who was "sneakly attacked", was angry and annoyed. He stared at Qin Xiaoxiao and laughed, freeing up his other hand to push her.
"Give the candy man back and I won't scratch him~" Qin Xiaoxiao chased after him with all his teeth and claws, not afraid of Jing Heng whose eyes were not lethal at all.
The two got into a quarrel in the street. Fortunately, there were not many people coming and going, and there was rock, paper, scissors, so they were not afraid of bumping into anyone, nor were they afraid of anyone bumping into them.
Seeing Jingheng who was clearly angry and deliberately making Qin Xiaoxiao with a candy man, Dabu sighed: "Only in front of Miss Xiaoxiao can the young master behave as he should at his age."
Shitou thought deeply: "If we don't say that people pay close attention to fate, I don't know how shocked those few people would be if they saw the young master like this."
Scissors had the most say: "Anyway, with Miss Xiaoxiao, the master's temper is getting better and better, and he no longer lets people dig fish ponds."
The three of them looked at each other and smiled in unison. There was always someone who could make the young master laugh, and this alone was enough for them to treat Miss Xiaoxiao with courtesy.
"Give it back to you, don't make any more trouble!" Jingheng couldn't get rid of Qin Xiaoxiao's troubles, and it was disrespectful to play on the street, so he finally returned the candy man to her: "Next time you dare to do this, let's see how I deal with you!
"
"Brother Li is so unreasonable. If you don't steal my candy, can I make trouble with you?" Qin Xiaoxiao took the candy and swallowed due to the sweet smell, but did not open his mouth to eat it.
She was not sure whether the hands of the old man who pinched the candy man were clean, and whether her stomach would feel uncomfortable after eating it. It’s just that such a big and beautiful piece of candy will melt sooner or later if you don’t eat it. What a pity!
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at the candy figure in Jingheng's hand, reached out and took it and arranged the two candy figures side by side: "We can be good friends forever, but we will no longer be good friends if they melt away."
Jing Heng looked at the two exquisite little sugar figures and suddenly felt that it was a pity to let them melt away like this. After thinking about it, he raised his hand to summon the stone and whispered something.
Shitou nodded repeatedly, told Scissors and Dabu a few words, and left quickly.
The group of people continued to wander around. When Jingheng saw something Qin Xiaoxiao liked, he would ask Dabu to buy it. Although most of them were worthless gadgets, the teachings of the adults made Qin Xiaoxiao not be greedy for cheap and be determined.
You have to buy it for yourself. If you can’t afford it, don’t buy it. You’ll be happy just by looking at it.
After about half an hour, Shitou came back. At Jingheng's signal, he led the group of people to a ceramics making workshop.
This is the largest pottery workshop in Le'an County. You can buy all pottery items here, ranging from water tanks and wine jars to small cups and dishes. At this time, there are more than 20 people busy in the workshop.
, there was a lot of mud on his face and body, and there were a lot of newly made utensils piled in the corner.
"Brother Li, what are the uncles and uncles doing?" Qin Xiaoxiao came to this place for the first time and was very surprised to see many people playing with a ball of mud in their hands, which turned into a bowl-like object.
.
Jingheng didn't answer, and took her hand through the somewhat dirty yard to the backyard.
The backyard is equally busy, but the difference is that there are only four or five people here. On the shelf in the corner are shaped clay bricks. These dusty clay bricks can be transformed into shapes after being fired and painted.
Shining and beautiful white porcelain. From a worthless piece of clay, it has become a sought-after treasure.
Qin Xiaoxiao stared at the clay bricks on the shelf intently. Even though they were still gray and gray, their exquisite and unique shapes alone were enough to amaze people.
After a while, an old man with gray hair wearing an apron came out. Shitou stepped forward and said something to him. His eyes fell on Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng, and then he nodded to Shitou.
"Come here." Jing Heng led Qin Xiaoxiao, who was attracted by the mud, and sat on the stool brought out by the scissors, asking her to sit still and not move.
"Brother Li, what are you doing?" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Jingheng in confusion, wanting to see the clay bricks on the shelf.
"Take the little sugar figures and make two little porcelain figures, so you don't have to worry about them not being friends." Jing Heng pinched her cheek and took the little candy figure in a skirt from her hand.
"Really? Can you really make little porcelain figures like us?" Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it. She thought that Grandpa, who could make sugar figures like them out of sugar, was already very powerful. It turned out that there were still people who could make them.
They made little porcelain figures that would not melt.
"Little girl, I started playing with clay when I was three years old, and took over the ceramics workshop when I was twenty. With my more than forty years of porcelain making skills, it doesn't matter if I make little porcelain figures just like you two." The old porcelain maker was very happy.
He Ai picked up a ball of mud in his hand while he was talking.
Qin Xiaoxiao still had no doubts, and immediately flattered the old porcelain maker: "Grandpa, you are so awesome!" After the filming, she said coyly: "Can you make Brother Li and I look better?
, as beautiful as the ones on the shelf~”
The old man making porcelain laughed heartily: "Little girl, if I can bring out the charm of you two brothers and sisters, you will be the most beautiful little porcelain figure in the world!"
"Thank you, grandpa!" Qin Xiaoxiao was confused by the words "the most beautiful in the world" and thanked the old porcelain maker with a smile. She sat upright without Jing Heng's instructions, for fear of moving around.
Make the little porcelain figure look ugly.
Jing Heng became restless, sometimes squeezing her hands, sometimes pinching her cheeks, and was extremely satisfied to see her bulging with anger.
As time passed bit by bit, two small clay figures about the size of a palm gradually took shape in the hands of the old porcelain maker. When the old porcelain maker trimmed off the last bit of excess clay, the two little clay figures looked like Qin Xiaoxiao and Jing Heng.
The identical little clay figurine is completely completed.
"It's so similar!" Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Jingheng, and then at the little clay figurine "Jingheng", his big round eyes filled with wonder.
She really wanted to take the little clay figurines into her hands and have a look, but she was afraid that they would be damaged due to her heavy hand, so she could only look at them eagerly, imagining how they would turn into little porcelain figurines, and she wanted to take them home immediately.
"It looks like you too!" Jing Heng stared at the little clay figurine in a skirt for a long time. He raised his hand and rubbed Qin Xiaoxiao's little head. He was very satisfied with the old man's porcelain making skills and decided to bring the little girl over every year to make it.
A pair.
It takes two days for the little clay figurine to turn into a small porcelain figurine. Jing Heng is not in a hurry to return to Beijing and can afford to wait. The only requirement is that the little porcelain figurine can be as detailed as possible.
Before leaving, Jingheng asked Shi Shi to give twenty taels of silver to the old porcelain maker, one tael of which was for customizing the small porcelain figure, and the remaining nineteen taels was reward money. Such a sum of money was almost the profit of the workshop for a month.
.
Qin Xiaoxiao, who was about to have a little porcelain man, did not dislike the little sugar man. When she got home, she put the little sugar man in a small white bottle given by the old porcelain maker. She also specially placed the small white bottle on the table in the room.
This way you can sleep with a sweet pillow.
"We don't have a cat at home, so if you leave the candy man like this, you won't be afraid of attracting the mice next door." Seeing that she regarded the little candy man as a treasure, Lin Qiuniang was helpless.
"Don't be afraid, rats don't dare to come as long as the scoundrels are here!" Qin Xiaoxiao is not worried about rats at all. Cats are bound to be where she is anyway.
In the past half month, the cat at home has not been broken. In Qinshan's words, I am afraid that the cats in half the county have stepped on it. It dares to come to the house to steal candy. How inconsiderate is this mouse!
Sure enough, while Qin Xiaoxiao was playing with Jingheng, Shapiy walked in through the courtyard gate. The two geese in the courtyard were already accustomed to its existence and did not chase it away like other cats.
But the moment he saw Jing Heng, Shapiro instantly became furious. While Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned, she let out a meowing scream, jumped up the wall in a panic, and disappeared on the courtyard wall. Fortunately, it was so round.
Still have such a flexible body.
This scene also stunned Lin Qiuniang, who had witnessed Jing Heng's power over cats for the first time. After coming back to her senses, she patted her daughter's head and sighed in her heart: If I could have known Mr. Jing earlier, how could my daughter have been raped by cats in those years?
Too scared to walk.
As for why Jingheng could scare away cats just by meeting her, she had a daughter whom cats fell in love with. Lin Qiuniang didn't bother to think about the reason, and just assumed that their physiques were naturally different from others.
Qin Xiaoxiao will continue to study in the Xu Mansion tomorrow, and will not be able to play around with Jing Heng like today. The little girl doesn't think it's a big deal, anyway, she can see Jing Heng when she comes back from school.
Jingheng was very unhappy. He not only wanted to accompany Qin Xiaoxiao, but also wanted to know what the little girl studying looked like. So after returning to the inn after dinner, he asked Shitou to prepare a gift.
Xiaoxiao opened the door of Xu Mansion before arriving at it.
The Xu family is still in its mourning period and does not entertain guests on weekdays. Unless there is something urgent, guests will not come easily.
Jing Heng suddenly came to visit, which made Xu Ze very puzzled. Before he was an official in Beijing, he knew Mr. Jing and had met him several times at palace banquets, but in private the two families had no contact with each other.
Until he saw Jingheng and heard him explain his purpose of coming, Xu Ze was very unhappy. Obviously he didn't want to have many people in his study. He didn't want to go back. After all, Jingheng's status was special, and he was just asking for advice. Xu Ze
It’s hard to refuse.
Fortunately, Jingheng would leave Le'an and return to the capital in at most half a month, which gave the reluctant Xu Ze some comfort.
When Qin Xiaoxiao came to the study with a bookcase on her back and saw Jingheng sitting at her big desk, she thought she was dazzled and stared blankly for a long time before she rushed over to her with a loud cry.
He asked why Jingheng appeared here.
Xu Ze, who was ignored, had a dark face and knocked on the table moderately with a ruler. Qin Xiaoxiao was so frightened that he quickly put down his bookcase and climbed up to a high chair to sit down, but his heart was filled with joy.
Jing Heng didn't want to interfere with Qin Xiaoxiao's study. When Xu Ze taught her to read, he also took a book and read it carefully.
With Xu Ze watching, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't dare to talk to Jing Heng casually, let alone half-heartedly, for fear that Xu Ze would find out and get slapped. Her left hand was not fully healed yet, so she didn't dare to offend her at this time.
Xu Ze.
When it was time to rest, Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly climbed off the chair, took Jingheng's hand and ran outside the study room, questioning him about why he came here to study, thinking that he had accepted his husband as his teacher and that the two of them could go to school together every day.
"I didn't take Mr. Xu as my teacher. I just want to stay here and teach you a few days." Jing Heng rubbed her head and said seriously: "You have to study hard. When you learn a lot of words, we can write
Letter."
"Hmm, I listen to Brother Li." Qin Xiaoxiao has not written a letter yet, and has great curiosity and expectations about correspondence: "If Brother Li has anything to say in the future, just write it in the letter, I won't
If you know how to write, you can ask the teacher."
Jing Heng didn't want others to know the content of the letter, so he said with a straight face: "I can't read the words on the letter, so I'll wait until you can read it before reading it. In short, don't show it to others!"
Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't understand it, and didn't want to be hurt by Jing Heng, so he had to agree.
With Jingheng's company, Qin Xiaoxiao feels that studying is not so painful. Every morning, Jingheng will come to the small courtyard and go to Xu Mansion with Qin Xiaoxiao. At noon, they will come back for dinner together, and in the afternoon after school
so.
For Lapi, it is too painful to miss Qin Xiaoxiao. As long as Jingheng is around, it does not dare to appear in front of Qin Xiaoxiao. Only when Jingheng leaves at night can it crawl into bed while Lin Qiuniang is washing.
