Lin Wanwan let out a long breath, her eyes clear, she took the silk handkerchief from Huanong and wiped her hands, stood up and said, "I'm leaving, uncle patriarch."
"Come back and take the cloth away."
"Oh, this is my annual gift to honor you!"
"Take it away quickly! What an old man, your uncle and I are not old yet!"
Of course, Lin Wanwan's cloth was not given away in the end. Patriarch Lin, who was very principled, was so steadfast and refused to accept bribes. No matter what she said, it would not work.
Well, there will be more people in the school next year, and it’s time to invite women from several tribes to share Huanong’s cooking duties. Qian is such a clean person, so she will be very suitable for the job of cook. When the time comes,
, you can not only pay them wages, but also take care of their meals.
Now most of the time, Lin Zhentian stays at the farm and does not come back. Huanong prepares lunch for a large group of children, which is indeed quite tiring.
Back home, Lin Wanwan was alone in the flower house picking mushrooms that she and Xiao Qingyu had grown. This little guy no longer wanted her as a mother after having the baby elephant, and was now showing off on the village road with the baby elephant.
Xiao Qingyu tried to climb on the elephant's back several times, but failed. The elephant refused to let her ride, even if she held a radish in her hand as bait, it didn't work. But Xiao Qingyu vowed to tell her friends that she
I will definitely ride on the back of an elephant in the future.
A group of children in the village followed behind Little Qingyu and Little Elephant. They had no choice but to find that Little Qingyu’s little cloth bag contained not only melted beans but also a lot of dried fruits!
Although the new little girl Rongrong and Xiao Qingyu don't understand each other's language, the world of children is really strange. They have their own set of children's words, and they can probably communicate with each other through their thoughts. Anyway, the language barrier does not prevent us from playing together at all.
happy.
For Xiao Qingyu, with one more Rongrong carrying the cloth bag for her, she can pack more snacks and dried fruits and go out to feed her friends in the village, which gives her a full sense of accomplishment.
As the sun set and smoke billowed from the kitchen stoves, the sound of flying horse hooves came from the entrance to the village.
Hearing the commotion, the Lin clan members all poked their heads out of their houses and looked towards the only intersection into the village.
The sea surface is sparkling under the afterglow of the setting sun, and Xiao Chong, who rides against the light, is as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind. He is graceful, extraordinary, and a good young man in a troubled world.
Hi! It turns out to be the Xiao Mingfu who did the labor at the weir!
The stunned people quickly realized that this handsome and beautiful young man was not as beautiful as he appeared on the surface, but a parent official of Luang County who made a big move of corvee as soon as he arrived! After the New Year, it was almost time to turn
The people from Linjiazhuang went to work as laborers.
Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely tired. Looking at Xiao Chong one more time will make me lose weight.
Everyone immediately retracted their heads into the room and pretended not to see it. As for flattering, that would never happen here.
People in Linjiazhuang all adhere to the philosophy that doing more is worse than doing less. Doing too much will make you make mistakes, and not doing anything good will make you do better.
A high-ranking official like the county magistrate shouldn't stand together and say more than a single word to ordinary people like them.
After the Pegasus stepped onto the village road, Xiao Chong gently tightened the reins and slowed down the horse.
The long limbs of the maroon horse ran in front of the little elephant like a king. He also shook the horse's head and sprayed the elephant with snot bubbles. The good-tempered little elephant was not angry at all.
, and just accepted it.
Xiao Chong passed by Xiao Qingyu, suddenly bent down and stretched out his long hand to scoop it up, and carried Xiao Qingyu onto the horse's back.
Xiao Qingyu, who had originally wanted to put on a straight face when she saw Xiao Chong coming over, was not prepared for this move. She suddenly couldn't hold back her cold face and smiled. The corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously and she couldn't help but touch the maroon horse's mane.
Mao shouted "drive, drive".
Following Xiao Chong was his personal servant Shuqi. The latter was also riding a rare divine horse, which was completely different from the two horses raised in Lin Wanwan's stable.
Speaking of which, every time this owner, servant and two horses came to Lin's Manor, they would turn against the guests and frighten the two horses in Lin Wanwan's stable so much that they huddled in the corner and did not dare to move.
But this time it was strange. In addition to the horses riding under them, there were two horses, one big and one small, behind them.
Although Lin Wanwan does not have Bole's ability and cannot understand the quality of horses, there is no need to distinguish the quality of the four horses in front of her. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that they are all like thousand-mile horses.
"Cousin, you're all right, why don't you go to the dock and guard the ship?" Lin Wanwan stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding a soup lady, looking sideways at Xiao Chong on the horse, and said strange words.
Huh, I just extorted a huge sum of money from her, and yet I came to see her so shamelessly so quickly, and I even chose a specially chosen dinner time. Sima Zhao’s heart is really known to everyone!
A leisurely expression appeared on Xiao Chongjun's face. He turned over and dismounted with Little Qingyu in his arms. He didn't care about Lin Wanwan's attitude and said with a carefree smile: "I got two new horses two days ago. They were brought by merchants from the Western Regions all the way."
Dawan horse breed. Thinking that my cousin and niece didn’t have a good horse that could ride them, I sent it to my cousin as soon as I got some free time. Why, doesn’t my cousin welcome Mr. Xiao?”
Lin Wanwan raised her head and looked at the two horses, one large and one small, behind her, and suddenly said: "Is this for me and Xiao Qingyu? Well, it looks good. Thank you cousin, I will accept it with a smile."
There is a poem by the poet Du Fu that perfectly describes the posture of such a top-notch BMW - Huma Dayuan, with sharp edges and thin bones. The ears of bamboo are steep, and the wind blows into the four hooves lightly. Wherever you go, there is no open space.
It is truly worthy of life and death. With such a strong force, he can travel thousands of miles.
Xiao Chong gave her two Dawan horses, which in modern times is almost equivalent to giving Lin Wanwan two Bugattis! This is throwing money at someone!
Well, since Xiao Chong is so kind, she should reluctantly forgive him!
There are almost no noble ladies in the Tang Dynasty who can't ride a horse. If she wants to hang out here, it seems like she should learn some equestrian skills. From now on, she can gallop around on a horse in her riding clothes. How majestic!
"Mother, is this beautiful pony for me?" Little Qingyu pulled Lin Wanwan's skirt and asked her with a milky voice.
Lin Wanwan rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "Yes, your cousin gave you a New Year's gift. How do you like it? Do you like it?"
Xiao Qingyu looked at the handsome pony a little tangledly, and then at the dashing Xiao Chong beside her. She didn't want to be friends with him... but the pony was so beautiful.
Xiao Chong sighed: "This little guy has a lot of opinions about X! I originally wanted to take her to learn equestrian skills, but from the looks of it, that's it."
Xiao Qingyu immediately said: "No, I want to ride."
