The concubine is coming, please be gentle, my lord

Chapter 142
Ever since Gu Xiaoqian came back from Beiyue Mountain, everyone's attitude towards her has obviously changed.

If it was superficial obedience before, now it is admiration from the heart.

"Fang Fei, help me beat up that wild boy of my family, and go shopping outside all day when he has nothing to do." The aunt who sells pancakes and fruits on the street stopped her and said angrily.

Gu Xiaoqian is now the hero in the hearts of most of the boys. If he has nothing to do, he will go to the yamen to find Gu Xiaoqian. Entering the yamen is more convenient than visiting the vegetable garden.

However, the atmosphere in Nanming County has changed for the better recently, fights have basically disappeared, but the desire to go out to hunt in the city has increased.

Gu Xiaoqian nodded indiscriminately and agreed, she has not gone out recently, and it is not true if she does not go out.

Staying at home, people keep coming to the door, no matter who they know or not, they will hang around her when they see her, and a hundred thousand why will come up.She is not an encyclopedia.

Let's go out, as long as someone sees her, they will start talking shortly, let her have that idea or something, her father is the county magistrate, what's the use of looking for her, but looking at the simple and honest face, it's not easy to refuse.I have never seen a lot of food stuffed by the folks along the way.

"Miss, I almost can't hold it anymore." Qixi was holding a pile of things, her head was blocked, and she couldn't see the way.

"The weather is really nice." It was the season of departure, Gu Xiaoqian looked up and said with a smile.

"What's the weather like? Cai Xiaoshan said that it will rain heavily later." Qi Xi honestly repeated Cai Xiaoshan's words.

"Qixi, you have a very good relationship with Cai Xiaoshan recently."

"What's the matter, every time we meet, I pinch him. An old man doesn't know how to give way. No wonder he hasn't married a wife yet." Qixi babbled.

Gu Xiaoqian was amused in her heart, so she didn't point it out, and continued to walk around.

"Miss, miss." The guard ran over after him, "Master has a letter."

"Hehe." Gu Xiaoqian gritted her white teeth and smiled sinisterly. She was illiterate, and she couldn't read the letter.

"Miss, stop laughing, it's scary." Qixi's heart trembled twice when she heard the laughter.

Gu Xiaoqian patted Qi Xi's head, the little girl never had the slightest sense of being a maid in front of her, but it was fine, "What did you say in the letter?"

"Miss, I can't read." The guard was a little ashamed and couldn't help the lady.

Gu Xiaoqian felt as if he had found the organization all of a sudden, and his smile became more cordial, "It doesn't matter if you can't read, let Qixi read."

Qixi: "Miss, I can't read either."

Gu Xiaoqian: "..." That's all right now, everyone can't read, and it's the same as having a letter or not.

"Boss, I can read." Cai Sanshui wandered over from nowhere, causing Xiao Hei beside Gu Xiaoqian to bark his teeth and growl, as if accusing him not to scare people.

Cai Sanshui's eyelids twitched. He has a lot of dogs, so he doesn't pay much attention to this black dog. It was only when he was on Beiyue Mountain that he realized that this dog was vicious. Jump away again, much smarter than that big dog in Rhubarb.

One day, the dog raised by Lao Tzu turned out to be fierce to Lao Tzu, Cai Sanshui lowered his eyes and glanced at Xiao Hei, don't let it fall into his hands again, otherwise he will beat him up first, and he will deny his master.

Xiao Hei also felt his emotions, stood beside Gu Xiaoqian and bared his teeth, no one would be afraid of him except Gu Xiaoqian.

Gu Xiaoqian didn't notice the interaction between a person and a dog. He only heard Cai Sanshui say that he could read characters, and he glanced at Cai Sanshui's face. There was no school in Nanming, and there were very few people who could read, but Cai Sanshui could read.

"Boss, don't doubt me. There used to be a crazy old man in Nanming. My mother took pity on him. He lived in my house for a few years, and I learned this word at that time." It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of literacy, the whole Nanming County estimated that he could read the most characters.

Nanming is located in a remote place, surrounded by continuous mountains. It is true that few people come here, and everyone generally spreads it by word of mouth.

"Okay, read it." Gu Xiaoqian asked someone to pass the letter over.

The guard glanced at Gu Xiaoqian in embarrassment. This is a letter from the master, how could it be easily read by outsiders.

"Either you read it, or he reads it, or it's the bottom of the box, you can decide for yourself." Gu Xiaoqian gave a suggestion.

The guard thought for a while before handing over the letter.

The corner of Cai Sanshui's mouth hooked up, with a three-point smile, which he learned from Gu Xiaoqian. When Gu Xiaoqian was in a bad mood, he smiled softly, and he imitated it unknowingly.

Opening the envelope, there was not much written in it, only mentioning that he was all well, and suddenly missed him.

"It's over!" Even Qixi found it inconceivable, after waiting for so many days, why are there only these few words?

"Sanshui, make it longer, Qixi thinks it's a little short." Gu Xiaoqian said.

Cai Sanshui was amused, and immediately understood the meaning, "It's a little bit, it said Qixi is not young, I heard that I have a good relationship with Cai Xiaoshan, and said that when I come back next time, I will hold a happy event for you."

"You...you..." Qi Xi stammered angrily, chopped off her foot, and stuffed everything in Cai Sanshui's hands, "You're talking nonsense." Turning around, she ran away.

Gu Xiaoqian happily patted Afraid Cai Sanshui on the shoulder, not bad.

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao smiling happily, Cai Sanshui was also happy. At the beginning, he felt that this woman from other places was scary. After getting along with her for a long time, he found that she actually had a good personality. She smiled at everyone and was full of thoughts Strange things, these things are quite new to them.

In Nanming County in the past, he, Cai Xiaoshan and Cai Xiaoxiao were allowed to be domineering, and everyone refused to accept the other, and fighting was commonplace.

But when she came, everything changed.

Not for the worse, but for the better.

He liked her smile, it was contagious.

When she smiled, her eyes curved like a crescent moon.

"Sanshui, isn't it pretty?" Gu Xiaoqian asked with a smile, this person is not shy about people, she just watched it openly for a long time, but she has a thick skin and didn't feel anything.

Cai Sanshui, "Looking good, I feel that there is no girl in Nanming County who is more beautiful than the boss." This is a compliment, and it is also the truth.

He discussed with Cai Xiaoshan in private, in terms of beauty, Gu Xiaoqian is really the most beautiful, tall, looks good in any kind of clothes, big eyes, straight nose, slightly raised mouth, the most important thing is temperament, As long as Gu Xiaoqian doesn't hit or speak, she can bluff people just by standing there, very much like a lady in a play.

However, like Gu Xiaoqian, most men can't control her, so who can beat her?
Gu Xiaoqian was very pleased with Cai Sanshui's words, and gave you a discerning look, and began to think about when to go to Sikong Jingheng again. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is better to meet early.

She didn't believe it, even though she had changed her body, if she said she was Gu Xiaoqian, Sikong Jingheng would still deny her.

Cai Xiaoshan's words came true.

In the evening, after a thunderstorm, the wind picked up.

After a while, the torrential rain began to fall.

Everyone thought it was a shower and it wouldn't last long.

Unexpectedly, they didn't stop for three days. Cai Sanshui and Cai Xiaoshan came to discuss things with Gu Xiaoqian. Just after they came in and took off the bamboo hats, they found that the hall was full of people talking about the rain.

"What should I do? It doesn't rain like this in previous years. If it rains again, my house will almost be flooded."

"Your house is still about to be flooded. My house is low-lying, and the water has flowed directly into the door. My vegetable garden is completely flooded."

"Yes, and my house..."

A group of people talked about their own problems, and Qixi brought hot tea to them one by one.

"Miss." The guard looked at the pensive Gu Xiaoqian and yelled worriedly. Even if the master handles it, it may not be able to solve it. How can my young lady solve it?

"Dong dong~!"

The sound was not loud, but the hall became silent in an instant, and everyone looked at the person in the middle.

"In Nanming County, except for the elderly and children, everyone will go with me to fight the danger." Gu Xiaoqian made a decision. It is impossible to wait for others to rescue him, so he can only save himself.

Everyone is silent, is this okay?

"Of course, if anyone of you has a better method, we can also adopt it." Gu Xiaoqian said unhurriedly, looked around the hall with his eyes, saw that everyone was silent, and continued, "In this situation, we must Dredge the waterway and divert the water away, otherwise everyone's harvest next year may be over."

This sentence speaks to everyone's thoughts. Originally, there is not much land here, and there is not much fertile land. If it is submerged by water, there will really be nothing to eat.

"Okay, Boss listens to you, what do you say?" Cai Xiaoshan was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

Then everyone agreed.

In fact, Gu Xiaoqian didn't even think about what to do?If it is still raining today, and I don't know when it will stop, the water on the ground has accumulated more and more and must be drained.

"Everyone digs ditches, drains water first, rescues and removes valuables if there is a submerged place, if anyone has spare space, lend it for a few days..." Gu Xiaoqian arranged.

All of a sudden, everyone in Nanming County was mobilized except for the elderly who couldn't walk and the children of a few years old.

Some people are digging ditches beside the fields to divert water away, while others are all over the city to watch whose homes are flooded, and to save people and move things. Although everyone is busy and messy, the relationship is getting better and better, even if the relationship is not good on weekdays. , and now they are looking after each other.

"Old Cai, you Nanming County is really loved by God. You have sent such a person, he is your nobleman." Under the eaves, there are two old people standing. If Cai Xiaoshan and the others are here, they must be very surprised. They have never I've seen Mr. Cai appear with this Mr. Chen before, and now he's talking like a friend.

The white-haired old man had wisdom in his eyes. From the first day Gu Xiaoqian and the others came here, he knew everything. He didn't expect this girl to have such great ability to make Cai Xiaoshan and the others obey her.

Being able to retreat from Beiyue Mountain completely exceeded his expectations.

Now, it is really not an easy person to arrange people to fight floods in an orderly manner.

Fortunately, that woman has no bad intentions.

"Boss, let me tell you something." Cai Sanshui pulled Gu Xiaoqian aside, "We are running out of salt." In the past, their salt was transported from Heicheng, every ten days and half a month. Come here, I should have arrived yesterday, but I didn't expect that it was raining this time, and the road was too dangerous, so no one sent salt.

It's really a wave of upheaval.

Gu Xiaoqian finally knew what it meant to add insult to injury.

"Have you never encountered such a situation before?" Gu Xiaoqian asked.

"No." Cai Xiaoshan shook his head honestly. It rained before, but it wasn't so heavy, and it rained for so long.

"Is the Black City far from here?"

"It's about seventy or eighty miles away, and..." Cai Xiaoshan scratched his head in embarrassment, "The city lord of the black city looks down on our Nanming County. As long as we say we are from Nanming County, we won't let us enter the city."

"Just like you used to, if I were the lord of Heicheng, I wouldn't let you enter the city." Gu Xiaoqian said bluntly.

"Boss, you broke my heart, what's wrong with us Nanming people, don't we just like to fight?"

"Is that what you call fighting? You call that hooligan brawl. A group of people stand on the street basking in the sun every day without doing business. Do you know what this is called? It's called laziness. You don't work hard yourself, and you want someone to think highly of you." What Gu Xiaoqian said hit the nail on the head.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the sound of rain falling on the ground was heard.

"Are we that bad?" Cai Xiaoxiao asked in a hoarse voice.

She didn't know that they were like this in Gu Xiaoqian's heart, and they were somewhat hurt.

Cai Sanshui was also at the side and didn't make a sound.

Gu Xiaoqian didn't care if people heard this, touched the water on his face, and said with a smile, "Did you hurt your self-esteem?"

Everyone is silent...

Gu Xiaoqian: "Having self-esteem is a good thing. Don't others look down on you? Then use actions to prove that Nanming people are not cowards. Those who despised you in the past will let them curry favor with you in the future..."

"But, we've always been like this, how can we prove it?" Cai Xiaoxiao looked at her hand weakly, feeling frustrated for the first time.

"Not me." Gu Xiaoqian said half comforting half jokingly.

Cai Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, "You said that."

"Uh uh." Gu Xiaoqian found out that Cai Xiaoshan and Cai Sanshui's eyes were frighteningly bright. Did she just say too much?

Make a promise, but it seems a bit difficult to go back on it.

The three of Cai Xiaoxiao came up to hold Gu Xiaoqian's hand together, with eyes full of seriousness and sincerity, they shouted together sincerely, "Boss." This voice was not only the most thankful from Gu Xiaoqian, but also an attitude.

Since then, Nanming has only one boss, and that is Gu Xiaoqian.

Mr. Cai looked at them with satisfaction, and he also looked forward to what Nanming would become!
"Chen Shanhai, wait and see, Nanming has really changed this time, I hope you can help them in the future." Cai Lao said to Chen Lao beside him.
