Gillian's field is located near Zhoukou Village, and the Ye family lives in Zhoukou Village.
There is a pond at the beginning of the village, and peach willows are planted in circles. At this time, the willow branches are green and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. The adults are busy farming, and the children are playing by the pond, which is quite pastoral.
Gillian and Zhao Yanping learned about the farming situation of the fields, so they took the children to the pond to play.
Guo Xing was sent by Gillian to the village to check the situation of the Ye family's house. If you ask more about the Ye family, Ye Changsheng's affairs were related to his sister, Guo Xing naturally cared about it, especially the previous marriage of Ye Changsheng. The woman did remarry, but what was Ye Changsheng's relationship with his ex-fiancee? Is it a pure matchmaker's words or did the two of them get into sex with themselves?
All these need to be found out clearly.
Guo Xing went to the village. At the edge of the pond, Zhao Yanping sat by the pond with his daughter counting ducks and watching the little fish. Meng Zhao stood beside him, and Jiao and Cui Niang laid mats under a peach tree and sat on it to rest.
Cui Niang broke some willow branches and lowered her head to weave a wicker hat for Xiao Chujin.
Gillian smiled and looked at Cui Niang.
When they first met, Cui Niang was still a twelve-year-old girl, and she intimately called her sister Gillian. Now Cui Niang is nineteen years old, with her skin as light honey, smooth and shiny, big eyes and cherry mouth, and beautiful. Cui Niang's appearance may be only medium or above, but Cui Niang has a good figure, tall and elegant figure, and has a good cooking skills. It is really a blessing for any man to marry Cui Niang.
"The location of this village is quite good." Gillian looked around and chatted with Cui Niang, "Look, the county town is more than ten miles west, and it is even closer to the capital, so it is convenient to go anywhere."
Cui Niang followed the wife's words and looked up, said a few times, and continued to weave the wicker hat.
Gillian smiled. Because she had to wait for news from Guo Xing, she didn't joke with Ye Changsheng about Cui Niang.
Cui Niang made up her hat and went to find Xiao Chujin.
Before Guo Xing came back, Ye Changsheng ran over from the field panting, holding the kite of Xiao Chujin being blown away by the wind. When he stopped in front of A Jiao, A Jiao saw that his face and neck were covered with sweat, his face was running red, and he panted like a big yellow cow that had only had tens of acres of land.
"It's just a kite, it doesn't matter if you lose it. It depends on how tired you are. Have you chased you a long way?" Gillian looked at the dust on Ye Changsheng's upper and felt that this person was really real.
Ye Changsheng panted, unable to speak anymore, and only blushed his face and shook his head, and glanced at Cui Niang who was guarding Ah Jiao's back.
He knew that Cui Niang was the maid of the Zhao family. She had just lost the kite. She was so anxious. Are she worried that her master would blame her for the kite? Ye Changsheng didn't know what happened. When he thought that she would be scolded for the kite, he ran over and chased him. He ran out of eight miles in one breath before he grabbed the kite from the tree. He was worried that the Zhao family and his group would leave soon, so he didn't dare to rest and ran back in one breath.
Fortunately, Lord Zhao and the others have not left yet.
Seeing his sweat falling like it was raining, Cui Niang softened her heart for a moment, she took off the handkerchief tied around her waist and handed it to him, and said, "Wipe quickly, if you had known that the kite would fly so far, you wouldn't have to chase it." A kite is not worth much money.
Ye Changsheng was flattered. Seeing that her handkerchief was apricot yellow, clean, and even brought the fragrance of a girl's house, Ye Changsheng was reluctant to use the handkerchief to wipe his stinky sweat. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I, I'm going back to farm. What order does the lady have? Just send someone to call me."
After saying that, Ye Changsheng put the kite on the ground beside him and turned around and ran away.
When he turned around, Jiao and Cui Niang realized that his back was wet, and the coarse cloth clothes were tightly pressed against his back. As he ran, the muscles and flesh lines on his back were clearly outlined by the clothes.
Gillian thought of some scenes of her being with Zhao Yanping by chance.
Speaking of which, when Zhao Yanping was the headmaster, he had such a strong figure as Ye Changsheng. After entering Beijing, he lost weight. Although he was still very strong, he looked less strong. Ye Changsheng was so strong that Cui Niang really married him. If nothing else, the couple's life would definitely be bad.
Retracting his gaze, Gillian sneaked into Cui Niang.
Cui Niang was staring at Ye Changsheng's back blankly. This guy sweated so much!
Shortly after Ye Changsheng left, Guo Xing also came back.
Gillian sent Cui Niang to count ducks with her daughter, but she listened to Guo Xing's reply alone.
Guo Xing asked the villagers about the Ye family a lot of things, and even figured out the situation of the three generations of the Ye family's ancestors. The elders of the Ye family were very well-received. Usually, the neighbors would help him if they had anything to do, but they were not good people. There were tenants who were lazy and couldn't farm well. They even wanted Ye Zhuangtou to hide it from the landlord. Ye Zhuangtou was selfless and directly took back the tenants' land.
As for Ye Changsheng's previous marriage, the woman was from another village. Ye Changsheng farmed at home every day, and only saw the woman during a blind date, and had no extra personal relationship. After the woman's family repented of marriage, Ye Changsheng should still farm. Occasionally, the villagers joked about her wife and ran away. He just smiled and didn't feel sad.
Guo Xing finished speaking in one breath and found that there was an extra kite on the ground next to him.
Gillian smiled and said, "It took him two quarters of an hour to pick it up. He could run away just now."
Guo Xing smiled and thought to himself that sixteen miles were nothing. If he asked him to run, he could run twenty miles!
The sun gradually rose, and Gillian's family returned home.
During the lunch break, Gillian praised Ye Changsheng to Zhao Yanping, mainly praising the two aspects she saw today: being honest and strong.
Just praise me, she even said something more, saying that Ye Changsheng's body looked like Zhao Yanping five years ago.
In broad daylight, although the couple was lying on the same bed, Zhao Yanping did not intend to do anything with Gillian until he heard Gillian say so.
"Do you think I'm not strong enough now?" Zhao Yanping turned his head and looked at Gillian and asked.
His eyes were not right, and Gillian hurriedly said, "No, I just remembered what you used to be."
Zhao Yanping pressed over and asked in a deep voice: "What is the difference between the past and now?"
Gillian's face was reddened by him.
What's the difference? The difference is that five years ago, Zhao Yanping thought about going to the floor every day, and he had to say something before he could press it. Now he's like a different person, and he always comes to suppress her.
"You go down, I'll tell you serious." Gillian pushed him.
Zhao Yanping did not think that his little wife praised another man for being strong in front of him was serious.
He wanted her to understand even more that strength or not strength is just a superficial one, and has no direct relationship with the quality of a man's physical strength.
Otherwise, the big kang in the north was good, Zhao Yanping directly picked up Ah Jiao, without worrying about hitting her head on the top of the bed or something.
Poor Gillian, I haven't had a rest this afternoon.
In late July, there was a heavy rain in the capital area. It would be fine if it rained just by the wind, and the peanuts in the ground were fine, and a piece of corn seedlings fell, especially in the outer area.
When the storm stopped, Gillian left the children at home and took Cui Niang and Guo Xing to check the situation of her own fields.
Half of the thirty acres of land were planted with peanuts and half of them were planted with corn. Before the carriage stopped, Jiao opened the curtains and looked out. She saw that several tenants had sent people to help the corn poles that were blown down by the wind. She was really out of salvation, so she had to harvest them in advance. The tender corn could be sold and cooked. The corn seedlings were taken home and dried and burned as firewood.
Ye Zhuangtou and Ye Changsheng were also there. The father and son had to support the corn poles in their own fields, and supervise the tenants to hand over all the corn harvested in advance, waiting to take them to the city and let the master decide whether to eat or sell them for money.
Ye Zhuangtou went to the ground to work. Ye Changsheng bent over and came out of the ground and found the Zhao family's carriage.
He ran over immediately.
Guo Xing stopped the carriage, Cui Niang picked up the curtain and wanted to get off the car first. Ye Changsheng glanced at her clean embroidered shoes and said anxiously: "The ground is muddy, girl, please ask in the car if you have anything to say, don't get out."
Cui Niang looked down and found that Ye Changsheng's upper and his legs were covered with mud, including his brother who had just jumped down, and the uppers of his shoes were also covered with mud.
Cui Niang returned to the car and explained the situation to her wife.
Gillian decided not to get out of the car, so she asked Cui Niang to lift the curtain and sit inside to ask Ye Changsheng's loss to Corum.
Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, our corn is connected, and only the outer circle has fallen a little, so the loss is not big. Like that kind of corn, peanuts are planted across the plant, and each cornfield has lost a circle of outer circles. That is how miserable it is."
Cornus are afraid of wind, so his father would organize tenants to plant corn next to each other. When harvesting, they would exchange some with tenants who only plant corn for only peanuts. In this way, the tenants would have food and oil to eat, and the landlord's family would also have the greatest profit.
At this time, Ye Zhuangtou also came over and promised Jiao again.
Gillian was even more satisfied with the Ye family’s father and son.
Asking the father and son to continue to work, Gillian first looked at Guo Xing, then put down the curtain and asked Cui Niang in a low voice: "What do you think of Ye Changsheng?"
Cui Niang was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Gillian smiled and said, "Be your husband."
Cui Niang didn't expect that the wife was actually making this idea. She blushed and said shyly and anxiously: "I don't want to get married. I said I want to serve you and the official for the rest of my life!"
Gillian snorted, and when Cui Niang was not so excited, she explained in a low voice: "It's not like getting married to drive you away. You are nineteen and not young anymore. While you are young, I will find you a reliable good husband first. After marriage, you can continue to live with us. We have two houses in our house, and we will clean up one for you couples. During the day, he comes to the village to see his parents and live with you. In the evening, you will have a good husband and don't have to leave us."
Cui Niang thought about it and pouted, "It's good, but why did I have to marry him? I'm not familiar with him."
Gillian asked her: "I also want to find someone you are familiar with. Tell me who you are familiar with."
Cui Niang was speechless.
After so many years, she has only two men around her, one is the official and the other is the relative of her brother. The rest are servants from Beppu who have met one or two times. If she carefully calculates, Ye Changsheng is considered a relatively familiar person. Moreover, if she marrys a servant from Beppu, she will become a person outside. Only by marrying Ye Changsheng will the couple work for the official and his wife wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Cui Niang suddenly realized that she either didn't marry, otherwise Ye Changsheng would be the most suitable choice now.
Cui Niang didn't want to be an old girl for the rest of her life. The official was so good to his wife, and her brother was good to his sister-in-law. Cui Niang also wanted a man who was good to her.
Will Ye Changsheng be OK?
Cui Niang poked her head out of the window next to her, looked around, and saw Ye Changsheng standing not far away.
Seeing her, Ye Changsheng didn't move. Until he found Cui Niang staring at her, Ye Changsheng touched his head and ran over with inaccurate control. He asked nervously: "Does the lady have any instructions?"
Cui Niang looked at Ye Changsheng seriously for the first time. Seeing that he was tall and tall and looked bad, Cui Niang was a little willing, but she couldn't see her face openly and stared at her eyes and said, "Who told you to go, don't be lazy."
Ye Changsheng's face turned red. Heaven and earth can be seen. He really didn't want to be lazy!
Cui Niang ignored him and put down the curtain with a blushing face.
Gillian smiled and pointed her face: "So fierce, be careful to scare people away."
Cui Niang snorted, "Just run away, I'm not going to have to do it."
Gillian shook her head. I don’t know if Ye Changsheng could stand Cui Niang’s little temper.
The crops were not greatly lost, and Gillian returned to the city with confidence. After a while, Ye Zhuangtou and Ye Changsheng drove over the mule cart, and several baskets of corn that were collected in advance due to the storm.
It is not worth selling. Gillian asked Ye Changsheng to move half of it into the house, keeping it for cooking with his relatives, and letting the rest be taken back by Ye Zhuangtou and distributed to the tenants.
Ye Zhuangtou, on behalf of the tenants, was grateful to his boss and was ready to leave.
Gillian asked the father and son to wait. She called Guo Xing over and sent Dong Zhu out. Then she suggested that she intended to match Ye Changsheng and Cui Niang.
When Ye Changsheng heard this, he was like being smashed by a pie falling from the sky, and his surprise was beyond words.
Ye Zhuangtou was also very happy. Cui Niang was a close confidant around the boss. The boss was willing to marry Cui Niang to his son. This was to give his own face.
He immediately knelt down and thanked.
