Chapter 270 Prince of Qingzhou

Dong Bao frowned immediately, "He's only been working for a few months. At the beginning, I thought he wouldn't be able to do it for long... What does my uncle say?"

Mrs. Li shook her head and said, "I figured it out, Chang Liang didn't dare to mention it to your uncle or concubine."

That's right, Dong Bao nodded, and with Li Changfeng's temperament, he had the cheek to push his son in, but the son wanted to put down the pick before long, and was so angry that he had to beat Chang Liang to death.Mrs. Gao probably would not agree with her son's idea. In Mrs. Gao's eyes, being a yamen servant is very good, it is beautiful and stable.

"Told me a lot, saying that being a yamen servant looks glamorous, but in fact it is tiring and unsafe. In the past two months, someone caused trouble in the town. He followed a few yamen servants to fight and got punched and so on... Li Shi couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

Dong Bao patted Mrs. Li's hand. It is estimated that Mrs. Li will not be able to get along with her at the moment. Chang Liang's matter is probably the first thing Mrs. Li asked Mrs. Yan to do, and it will be anticlimactic.

"This matter has to respect Brother Chang Liang's will. He is not willing to do it, so we can't force him to do it. After this incident, Brother Chang Liang can learn crafts in Anzhou with peace of mind." Dong Bao said.

The eldest son in a family always has a strong sense of responsibility, like Song Yang is a model with a sense of responsibility, Chang Xin’s cousin is much calmer than Chang Liang’s cousin, and the youngest son is mostly used to various problems by his parents Compared with Song Bai, Chang Xin is already pretty good.

At night, Li Changfeng and Gao Shi came over together, and Gao Shi pulled Li Shi to cry with snot and tears, babbling about how disobedient Chang Liang was and how disappointed she was.

Mrs. Li leaned on the bed while stroking her belly, frowning and listening to Mrs. Gao cry. Mrs. Gao cried for a while, and finally got to the point.

"It's a good job to eat the emperor's food, but he still hates it. The wind blows cold in winter, and the sun shines in summer..." Gao said, wiping his tears, "I scolded him hard in the afternoon, so let's leave him alone like this." I have a family, what can I do? Hongzhen, Chang Liang also went to a private school, he can write and count. Doesn’t his brother-in-law have some paperwork? He just sits in the house and just writes. Poor."

Sitting next to him, Dong Bao got up, smiled at Gao Shi, and said, "Jinzi, my mother is not feeling well, she has to lie down on the bed and rest, why don't you go back first?" As he spoke, he winked at Li Shi .

Mrs. Li understood immediately, and frowned even more while covering her stomach.

Despite Gao's reluctance, he was dragged away by Dong Bao.

When we got to the main room, Li Changfeng was apologizing to Mr. Yan, "It's all my fault that I didn't discipline Chang Liang well. I don't know how to do things. I'm causing you trouble!"

Lord Yan waved his hand and said, "It's not a troublesome matter. Chang Liang is a child after all. You should explain the truth to him. It's not easy to do anything in this world. No matter what he does in the future, he has to do it steadily."

"Hey, hey!" Li Changfeng responded quickly, turned around to see Dong Bao and Gao Shi coming out, and asked, "Where's your mother?"

Dong Bao smiled and said: "My mother's stomach is a little uncomfortable, so I'll lie on the bed and rest."

As soon as the words fell, Lord Yan hurriedly said: "Dong Bao, send your uncle and concubine off, and I'll go to see your mother." After finishing speaking, he strode to Mrs. Li's bedroom.

Gao Shi looked at Master Yan's back, with an obviously unwilling expression on his face, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Li Changfeng's wink, and he pulled Gao Shi to leave the door.

After Mr. Yan entered the room, he saw that Li Shi was sitting on the quilt well, and quickly asked, "How are you? I just heard that Dong Bao said that you have a stomachache."

Li smiled and said: "I'm fine, but just now my sister-in-law kept talking about Chang Liang's errand, crying and yelling, people who listened were upset, Dong Bao found an excuse to send her out."

"What did she say?" Lord Yan frowned and asked, "Brother didn't say anything, he just kept apologizing to me."

Mrs. Li sighed, and she was really embarrassed to speak. Her natal sister-in-law is really whimsical, and she actually wants Chang Liang to be Lord Yan's secretary. The problem is that others don't know how much Chang Liang weighs. do you know?But after studying in a private school for half a year, I didn't read any more. I can't even read all the words. How can I be a clerical instrument for others?

"It's nothing." Li said with a smile, "She just doesn't want to be reconciled, and it will be fine if she thinks about it in two days."

When Dongbao arrived at the Lin family again, more than half of the wheat in the Lin family had been cut, and the stubble had been cleaned up and watered on the field where the wheat had been harvested. When the ground is dry and flat, it can be used as a threshing ground.

Dong Bao and Lin Shi sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade, watching Da Hui not far away, obediently rolling the roller back and forth under Lin Fu's command.Lin Shi asked: "So, Brother Chang Xin really quit working as a yamen servant?"

"Don't do it." Dong Bao nodded, "I heard that I returned the clothes and so on yesterday, and I'm going to Anzhou."

"That's fine too." Lin Shi smiled, "It would be great if brother Chang Xin could settle down and learn the craft."

Dong Bao curled his lips, "That's right, he left in a cool manner, but my mother is still very unhappy in her heart, and always feels sorry for Master Yan."

"What's wrong with that?" Lin Shi shook his head and smiled, "A husband and wife can't care about so much."

"It's not that you don't know about my mother. You are not afraid that others will wrong her, but you are afraid that you will wrong others and trouble others." Dong Bao also smiled, "It's been a long time, just think about it."

While the two were talking, two horsemen and horses walked over slowly not far away.

Dong Bao seldom saw people riding tall horses in the countryside, not to mention horses, and even mules, so he noticed these two people from afar.When these two people got closer, they saw that the leading man was wearing a wide straw hat and a white chiffon trim. He was in his early twenties and looked gentle, followed by the sixteen or seventeen-year-old man in blue clothes. The short jacket made of fine cotton looks like a servant following.

When the two passed by here, they got off their horses one after another, and the leading young man took two steps closer to them, with a piece of jade tied by a red string hanging on his waist, which was faintly visible in the white silk cloth as he walked, and the white silk young man's eyes were on Dong Bao turned up and down quickly and then looked at Lin Shi.

"This little brother!" Mr. Baisi smiled politely, holding a folding fan in his hand, and cupped his hands at Lin Shi, "What kind of place is this?"

Lin Shi politely returned the gift, moved towards Dongbao, blocked Dongbao behind him, and said, "This is Tagouji Village, and going south is Xiaowangzhuang."

Young Master Bai Si looked over Lin Shi's shoulder and could only see Dong Bao's black hair bun. He smiled regretfully, pointed at Dong Bao and asked, "Is this the little brother's sister?"

It was very disrespectful for Mr. Baisi to do so, Lin Shi's face darkened, "Don't bother your Excellency, you should go quickly!"

Today he is like other farm boys, wearing a blue coarse cloth jacket, black trousers, and a straw hat with a torn brim on his head. If you don't say it, no one will know that he is a scholar.

"Oh, misunderstood, misunderstood!" Mr. Baisi laughed, "I was the one who was rude. I just saw that your younger sister is really beautiful. I was rude for a while, little brother, don't blame me, don't blame me!"

The boy at the side snorted at Lin Shi, and shouted at Mr. Baisi in dissatisfaction: "Master, what is our status and what is his status, why are you apologizing to a mud leg? He deserves it too!?"

"Shut up!" The young master raised his eyebrows and shouted at the servant, then turned his head and smiled at Lin Shi, "Your servant is ignorant, so don't blame me, brother. I'm from Qingzhou, my surname is Wang, and I came here to ask if there is anything in this area." People want to sell land. My grandfather is getting old and wants to go back to his hometown Anzhou to live, and buy some land in Anzhou in advance for retirement."

Lin Shi lowered his gaze, shook his head and said, "I've never heard of anyone selling land here."

"Oh, that's it!" Wang Gongzi looked very disappointed, and wanted to say something more, when Lin Fu, who was covered with dust, came over not far away.

"What happened?" Lin Fu asked Lin Shi, and at the same time looked at the master and servant opposite.

Lin Shi said, "It's nothing. This young master wants to buy land near here, but we don't have anyone here who wants to sell land."

While talking, Old Man Lin and Aunt Qiuxia, who were harvesting wheat, also came to rest their feet, and the master and servant got on their horses again and walked forward.

"Then who is it?" Aunt Qiuxia asked after taking a sip of water.

Lin Shi shook his head, "I don't know, he said he is from Qingzhou and wants to buy land near us."

"From Qingzhou? That's far away!" Quanzi asked curiously, "Why would you want to buy land from us?" There are many customers from Qingzhou in the workshop, and it takes a day to drive back and forth every time.

Lin Shi just shook his head and didn't say a word, Dong Bao simply said what was in Lin Shi's heart, "It doesn't look like a good person, with wicked eyes! Who knows if he's telling the truth!" There is that boy, who is a master who sees people as low as a dog, and the people from Qingzhou dare to show off on their territory, and the strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake!

Ah bah bah, she and Lin Shi are not cowards!

When Lin Fu and the others had left, Lin Shi suppressed a smile, turned to Dong Bao and said, "Don't you think that Mr. Wang looks good?" It seems that girls like men like Mr. Wang, right? , at first glance, he looks like a rich young man who doesn't touch the spring water with his ten fingers, and he is riding a white horse with white clothes fluttering, and his appearance is not bad. If he waved a paper fan, it would be absolutely perfect...

"Not as good as you!" Dong Bao winked at Lin Shi with a smirk.

Originally, Lin Shi wanted to tease Dong Bao, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Dong Bao's words, and instead he made a sweet blush.

When the busy summer was over, Liang Zi also asked someone to find out about the field. Only Yao Gezhuang, which is not too close to Yuanshui River, sold [-] mu of land at a time. The land was not bad, and the others were small. Noisy, selling three to five acres, it takes effort to manage it piecemeal, and it's not worth buying.

"Then buy it first. After the transfer, I have to trouble Brother Liang Zi to help rent it out." Although Dong Bao was a little disappointed, he had no choice. These days, land is the lifeblood of farmers, and many people would rather sell their children than their daughters. Unless it is a year of severe famine, it is rare to encounter a large-scale sale of land.
