Happy peasant girl

Chapter 42
One of them is a county magistrate who has personally experienced the sufferings of the people, and the other is a traveler who has seen the ruins of the people's homes in Chu State. The helplessness and sorrow in their hearts have been tormenting them all the time in the past three years, just like what Lin Qingxi said in his last poem "I am ashamed to read this, and I will never forget it."

They are the subjects of Chu State, how can they forget, how dare they forget, thinking of this, the sore feeling goes from the chest to the throat, quite choked up.

"What a 'doesn't know the hardships of farming', what a 'never involved in farming and mulberry', junior sister, brother, I'm really ashamed!" Shen Han is exactly the kind of person who doesn't know what grains are in Linqingxi's poem, let alone For those who know how to work in the fields, after listening to these three poems, Shen Han is really ashamed.

Wei Xuan didn't express any opinion, but he looked at Lin Qingxi differently, and spoke softer than before: "Little sister, how about playing chess with senior brother?"

"Go? Brother Seventh, I...I don't know how to do it!" Lin Qingxi knows how to play chess, military chess, checkers and backgammon, but she doesn't know how to play Go. Lu Zhiming and Huai have taught her for a long time, but she still hasn't made any progress. The stinky chess basket.

Lu Zhiming also came out to help her at this time: "My apprentice is good at poetry and farming well, but he is not good at chess. She can't even catch up with Shun Zi."

Shun Zi is a servant who has been with Zhang Xian for many years. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has also dabbled in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but he only knows a little bit about it. , It can be seen that chess skills are really not very good.

"Besides go, what kind of chess do you play?" Wei Xuan noticed a loophole in Linqingxi's words.

"Ah, I...hehe, senior brother, I can only play backgammon for children." Lin Qingxi said shyly.

"Xi'er, what is backgammon? Why have you never told me about it?" Lu Zhiming asked with some displeasure, this girl knew to hide her secrets all day long.

"Master, you didn't ask me!" Lin Qingxi felt that she was wronged by the blame, and she didn't have any reason to say it if she didn't ask.

Lu Zhiming thought so too, he and his wife just taught Lin Qingxi how to play chess with heart, and did not ask her if she knew other chess games, but there is no other chess game in Chu State except Go, could this girl create it herself?
"Girl, don't be tricky, tell me how to play backgammon quickly!" Zhang Xian was in high spirits, he was always very curious about new things.

Lin Qingxi had no choice but to tell the four people how to play backgammon, and Lu Zhiming asked his servants to take the black and white chess pieces and the chessboard directly to the hall, and play against Zhang Xian according to the method Lin Qingxi said.

Although backgammon is simple to play, it is also very brain-testing, especially when two people with similar IQs are playing against each other. It is actually not that easy to connect five pieces into a line.

So when Lu Zhiming and Zhang Xian played chess, Wei Xuan and Shen Han who stood up to watch were also thinking, frowning sometimes, stretching sometimes, and the hall returned to silence.

In the end, Lu Zhiming had a better skill and was the first to connect the five sons into a line, beating Zhang Xian.

Although he lost, Zhang Xian didn't feel upset, but was very happy: "It's obviously a very simple way to play chess, but it's really not easy. Since there is backgammon, it should also be able to become six-bang and seven-bang. It can be made into a line, or it can be turned into a circle, or other graphics. Interesting, really interesting!"

Her uncle is really imaginative and creative. If two people play this game, how many brain cells will be exhausted.

But Zhang Xian wasn't too tired. In the future, he really studied how to play various chess pieces, to the point of fascination.

Wei Xuan did not continue to embarrass Lin Qingxi, a person who can come up with this kind of chess is definitely not a stupid person, and a smart and talented person is also qualified to be his uncle's female disciple.

"Xi'er, those people standing outside are selected for you by your senior uncles and senior brothers. Their death contracts are all here. From now on, they will be your people facing Qingxi. If there is any unfaithful Yes, you can handle it yourself!" Lu Zhiming said that these people were sent to Lin Qingxi by several senior brothers and nephews, and these people were carefully selected capable people, and they will definitely be able to help Lin Qing in the future brook.

"Master, Xi'er is very grateful for the kindness of the uncles and brothers, but are these people too many? You also know that Linjia Village is a small place. If these people appear in my house, it will be too eye-catching. Besides , My family does not have a house for them to live in, and eating is even more of a problem." Lin Qingxi said distressedly.

She really needs manpower now, but suddenly there are 60 or [-] people in the house, and board and lodging are all problems.

"Girl, my uncle has already thought about this problem for you. I heard from your master that if your family wants to open a small restaurant in Fu'an Town, you must need people. You can arrange some of these people to help in the restaurant. Some of them have stayed in the restaurant. In addition, your two senior brothers and I will not leave here for the time being, so we rented a house near your restaurant. There are many rooms in it. You can also arrange them there temporarily. As for It's up to you to make arrangements in the future!" In fact, Zhang Xian specially asked these people to come to Linqingxi, whether it is loyalty or ability, they are not a problem.

"Thank you Uncle Fifth, thank you two senior brothers!" For the time being, this is the only way, Lin Qingxi thought, this time when he returns home, he will discuss with Lin Yuanshan and the others about building a house.

Thinking of the [-] mu of purple land left unused in my hands, I will definitely need more people to help in the future, and the house must be built first.

"Xi'er, when will your restaurant open, senior brother will definitely come to cheer you on!" Shen Han really likes Lin Qingxi, a smart and cute little junior sister, and always feels that she has a magical power that makes people want to get close to her.

"Senior Brother Seven is going too!" Wei Xuan rarely gave her a smile since he entered Linqingxi.

"Master, uncle, two senior brothers, in fact, Xi'er has one more thing to tell you today. My restaurant will open the day after tomorrow, and everything is ready. Tomorrow night, my second brother and I are going to cook a table of dishes in the restaurant." Let the family try the dishes, I don’t know, master, wife, uncle and two brothers, would you mind going to the restaurant to try the dishes together?" Lin Qingxi originally planned to invite Lu Zhiming and the others to gather alone in the backyard on the opening day.

However, Master, Uncle and Seniors have treated her so well, so she intends to take advantage of the opportunity of tasting dishes and make some more special dishes for them to eat, which can be regarded as a small thank you.

"I'll go, I'll go! I don't mind!" No longer pretending to be polite, when Shen Han heard about eating at this time, he was somewhat in line with his age, and became more lively and cheerful.

If there is something delicious, it is natural to eat it. Lu Zhiming and Huai have both tasted Linqingxi's craftsmanship, and it is definitely an unforgettable meal.
