Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 73 The reason
Seeing that he refused to leave, and the two people in the room didn't dare to beat him up, Du Xian took the shovel and went to close the courtyard door.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Changrong was not afraid of his hand being pinched, and would not let him go, only looking at him with pleading eyes.

Du Xian sighed, "If I had known today, why would I have smashed our melons at the beginning, why is it so demoralizing!"

"Big brother, I, I was wrong, do you forgive me for not winning this time?" Qiu Changrong bowed again and again, "I will compensate you for how many melons I smashed, ah, no, double the compensation, okay?"

Seeing that his attitude is indeed sincere, Du Xian waved his hand, "Forget it, since you have achieved this level," he turned to look at Du Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, let's not bother with him, and pay what we should pay. how?"

Du Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "Father, why don't you ask him what he did so well to apologize? If he didn't tell us, we wouldn't know, right?"

Du Xian was stunned for a while and said, "This child, when you do something wrong, you will always find out with your conscience."

Embarrassment flashed across Qiu Changrong's face, and he climbed up the pole again, "Big brother is right, ever since I did something wrong, I haven't eaten well or slept well, so I feel that I should apologize, Still, Big Brother, you have a lot! I really know I was wrong, and please don’t take this matter to heart, Miss Xiaoyu." As she said that, she was about to walk in, taking money out of her pocket, "Big Brother , Look, are these enough?"

A total of four ingots of silver were brought out. Du Xian was always honest and didn't take advantage of it. He only took one of the two ingots and said, "This is enough, and we don't want you to pay more. Don't do such nasty things in the future!"

Mrs. Zhao gave Qiu Changrong a cold look, turned around and went into the house.

Du Xiaoyu didn't want to talk to him either, so he sorted out the herbs he dug up, some of which were to be planted, and some were dried to be sold to the pharmacy.

"Do you have something else to do?" Du Xian saw that Qiu Changrong still didn't leave.

"Yeah, I need Miss Xiaoyu's help with something." Qiu Changrong blushed, thinking that he was not usually asked about farming in the village, but he didn't expect to humiliate in front of a little girl today. After coughing a few times, he walked to Du Xiaoyu's side and said in a low voice, "Miss Xiaoyu, help Second Young Master Jiang to let him let my old father-in-law go!"

Second Young Master Jiang, old father-in-law?Du Xiaoyu was at a loss when he heard it, and Du Xian who was beside him also asked in wonder, "What are you talking about? How could our Xiaoyu know the young master of the Jiang family?"

Qiu Changrong thumped his head hard, and sighed, "Your son knows him! Now the Second Young Master Jiang is holding my old father-in-law, saying that he will pay hundreds of taels of silver for breaking the precious porcelain in their family, otherwise I took it to the Yamen to beat the board. Pity my old father-in-law, how can he bear it at his age?" He grabbed Du Xiaoyu's arm, "Miss Xiaoyu, please forgive me, or your second brother won't forgive me, Jiang Er The young master will not let anyone go!"

It turned out to be Du Wenyuan, and Du Xiaoyu suddenly realized that it was him, otherwise who else would have dealt with Qiu Changrong, and only he knew about the smashing of melons, but what happened to Second Young Master Jiang?I don't know when we made friends.

She shook off Qiu Changrong's hand, "It's not hard to forgive you, but do you really know you were wrong?"

"I know, I know, it's really wrong." Qiu Changrong was extremely anxious. He only found out about his father-in-law this morning. The beautiful lady at home was crying. Dare to come and ask?
"Okay, then I'll ask you something." She won't let go of this rare opportunity, Du Xiaoyu said, "You are experienced in growing cold melons. Let me ask you, what diseases are common in cold melons? And how did you cure it?" I remember that time when I went to buy seeds, he talked about the worms, so it was obvious that there were a lot of them hidden, and it would benefit everyone by asking, and said, "It's better to write it down."

Qiu Changrong's expression turned ugly, and he muttered, "This, this..."

"It's okay if you don't want to answer. If you come back next time, I won't just ask this kind of question."

Although she is a little girl, her tone is definitely not joking, Qiu Changrong said cruelly, "Forget it, you bring a pen and paper, I will write it down."

When he finished writing, Du Xiaoyu took a look and nodded, "Okay, I'll go find my second brother tomorrow."

Qiu Changrong's face had already turned green, and he flung his sleeves and left resentfully.

Only then did Du Xian ask, "Daughter, are you doing too much?" These experiences are the foundation of eating, taking them is equivalent to cutting off one's fortune.

Du Xiaoyu snorted, "It's not like he only knows how to grow cold melons," he added, "Besides, Dad, you think he really knows his mistakes like that? Don't ask, don't ask, and you will have more confidence in growing cold melons , in the future, if Aunt Wu and Uncle Da Da want to plant, it will not be a good thing! Whoever asks him to hide it, no one will help."

Du Xian also made sense, took it over to have a look, and suddenly said, "Isn't it a fool?"

"Not really, I think it's also mentioned in the agricultural book, it doesn't look like it's fake." Qiu Changrong's anxious look was not feigned, he really wanted to save Yuezhang, and she asked this question out of the blue, where is he? I had time to fake it, and I didn't see the tip of the pen stop. It was written in one stroke, so it should be true.

"That's good." Du Xian patted her on the head, and said with a smile, "You kid just has a lot of ideas. Don't worry about planting cold melons next time. I'll go to the county with you tomorrow."

Mrs. Zhao heard that they were going to Feixian County again, so she immediately started making dough and making buns, and was busy until late at night.

On the second day, the two went out early in the morning. They first sold the things they had brought and purchased some daily necessities, and then went to Wanjia to wait for Du Wenyuan to return from the academy.

But the academy didn't release people until the evening, Du Xiaoyu was bored and heard that Du Huanghua was in Hongxiufang, so he went there to see her.While Du Xian was playing chess with Master Wan, Mrs. Wan said with a smile, "Fanglin, you take Xiaoyu, don't stay in the house all the time." She called the maid to accompany her.

Before going out, the maid brought a curtain hat for Wan Fanglin to put on.

Rich people are very particular, they are afraid that others will see the young lady's face, Du Xiaoyu secretly thought, although he was born in a peasant family, he was a little poor, but he behaved freely and did not have so many rules.

Because Hongxiufang is very close, I didn't take a sedan chair and walked all the way there.

"Miss Wan, have you ever been to their academy?" Du Xiaoyu asked, she wanted to go directly to the academy to find Du Wenyuan, but Du Xian told her not to disturb her studies, so she refused to let her go.

Wan Fanglin shook his head, "No, but Bai Lan has been there."

Bai Lan is that girl.

"Oh, what's it like inside?" Du Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Bai Lan's face is like a full moon, her eyes are also round, her mouth is small, she looks very pleasing, she smiled and said, "It was raining once, and my wife asked me to deliver oil umbrellas. The inside is very beautiful, not at all compared to our garden. What’s worse, I planted a lot of flowering trees, and one tree is so big that it takes dozens of people to hug it, and it’s not hot at all to sit under it in summer.”

Du Xiaoyu said, "Next time I have a chance, I must go and see it," and teased Wan Fanglin, "Miss Wan, do you want to go? You definitely want to see how your cousin is studying there, right?"

Wan Fanglin blushed, and muttered, "No, I won't go."

"That's right, how about our young lady? That's where the sons and daughters study." Bai Lan also said, "My wife said that men and women are different, and it's not easy to play together."

Du Xiaoyu chuckled, "Who told you to follow along, just watch."

Bai Lan waved her hands continuously, "No, no, I can't take Miss there, she knows she will beat me!"

"Okay, okay, if you don't go, you won't go." Du Xiaoyu smiled, talking playfully, really serious, this Bailan is just as innocent and funny as Wan Fanglin.

While talking, I went to Hongxiufang. Seeing that the lady was coming, the female waiter rushed out to welcome her and please go into the inner room.

Du Xiaoyu remembered that the girl was called Yuniang. When she and Du Huanghua came here for the first time, she saw that she had been bullied by Sister Rong. Unexpectedly, Yuniang looked at her and said, "You belong to Miss Huanghua!" sister?"

"You remember me?" Du Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

"Of course, I saw Huang Hua's handiwork very well that day, so I naturally remember it." Yuniang smiled, "I didn't expect to become my wife's apprentice later."

"Oh, you're called Xiaoyu, right? Come and show me." There was another person inside who waved enthusiastically. He had a long face, big double eyelids, and looked extremely kind.

"Xiaoyu, this is my second senior sister." Du Huanghua hurriedly introduced.

It turned out to be the second senior sister who had a good relationship with her. Du Xiaoyu walked over and blessed her, "Thank you for taking care of my eldest sister during this time."

"This child is really sensible." The second senior sister helped her up in surprise, "No wonder your sister always talks about you. If I have such a younger sister, I would not be willing to leave home."

Du Xiaoyu smiled obediently, and looked at the other two women, one seemed to be married and looked very honest, and the other was about the same age as Du Huanghua, with beautiful looks, but comparable to Sister Rong.

"This is your eldest sister's third and fourth senior sisters." The second senior sister introduced.

The two women smiled at her and didn't talk too much.

At this moment, Yuniang brought out some tea, and first gave Wan Fanglin a cup, and then gave it to Du Xiaoyu.

Wan Fanglin clutched the teacup and didn't speak, just sat there quietly, her eyes fluttered like a little white rabbit, and others knew her temperament, so they didn't bother her.

"Why are you here all of a sudden?" Du Huanghua asked, "Did Mom and Dad come too?"

"Mother didn't come, I just came with my father." Du Xiaoyu smiled, "I brought a few baskets of corn buns, my mother made them last night, and gave some to Mrs. Wan to taste, and I kept some One cage, wait for you to go back and eat with the second brother."

Du Huanghua's eyes were red, "I haven't seen my mother for a long time."

"I'll call to come together when the field is not busy." Du Xiaoyu said, "Mother is careful, as you know, I don't worry that there is no one at home."

The two were talking softly while touching their heads, and they looked very close. Wan Fanglin's nose felt a little sour when she saw it. She also has an older sister. Unfortunately, she kept running around after getting married, and she hadn't seen her for a long time.

Thank you Huajuzi for your reward~~~
