Chapter 262 Kite and Liu Flute
Second update, please read the full text of pink.
**…………******
Their family is a relative of the Shen family, and Lian Man'er finds it a little unbelievable.
But after thinking about it, the relatives are divided into different distances and many kinds. The Shen family has a large population, so it is hard to guarantee that there are not only one or two who can really have something to do with the ancestors of the Lian family.
According to Mr. Lian, the ancestors of the Lian family were scholars, and the Lian family turned out to be a noble family. At least it can explain why Mr. Lian did a good job in the city’s shopkeeper and insisted on returning to his hometown to buy land and provide all his strength to support his eldest son to study and become an official.
"Then Shen Liu, oh, no, what did Master Shen Liu say?" Lian Man'er asked again.
"Master Shen Liu said nothing." Zhang replied.
"There are many people who are relatives to the Shen family! Even if they were really close to each other in the past, they were far away. Now, they are not even close. Let's not think about the useless one." Lian Shouxin said depressedly.
Lian Man'er nodded. Even the trustworthy person is still a very pragmatic person. He lives a down-to-earth life without any false thoughts. This is a good thing for their family.
It was the old family around Shen Liu who said that the old man might have a relative with the Shen family, but Shen Liu didn't say anything. In other words, he neither denies nor admits, so he continues to talk. If so, Lian Man'er thought of some possibility...
That seems to be an impossible new chapter.
Lian Man'er thought about it, but in the end she didn't express her thoughts.
"Mom, my master, yes, did they make any requests to Shen Liu?" Lian Man'er asked Zhang again, which was a question she was more concerned about.
Before Zhang answered, he looked at Lian Shouxin. Lian Shouxin just kept his head off.
"What is our relationship with Mr. Shen Liu? Your master is a wise man, so how can he ask someone for anything as soon as he meets him?" Zhang said, "Your master is just chatting with Mr. Shen Liu. He told us about our family. Your uncle is a scholar. He plans to be a supervisor and elect an official, and your step-grand brother, you are going to take the exam for the child student..., so he didn't say anything else."
"That's all?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Well, that's all." Zhang nodded.
Lian Man'er's eyes rolled. But these were so happy that Mr. Lian, Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu were of course for reasons.
Is it that ambiguous relative? It must be.
The officialdom is a very wonderful world. With the power of the Shen family, this vague and unconfirmed relationship is to some extent a talisman and a ladder. As the superior, Shen Liu should be very clear about the rules of it. In that conversation, can the attitude he held is considered a silent acquiescence?
Why did Shen Liu do this?
Lian Man'er felt that she had vaguely caught something.
After lunch, Wulang and Xiaoqi taught their husband that there was something to do in the afternoon, so they didn't have to go to school. Lian Man'er thought that the hairy seedlings she raised were almost grown, so she got into a calf cart and came to the old house. The three children dug more than half of the hairy seedlings and came back in the calf cart.
Lian Man'er plans to reclaim these hairy seedlings in the idle fields on the right side of the new shop. Hairy is sunflower. When she grows up, the flowers blooming can also beautify the environment around the shop.
Goro was responsible for digging the pit in front, Xiaoqi followed behind, Lian Man'er was responsible for planting hair and eating seedlings, and the little yellow cattle stopped beside him and did not walk around casually.
The three children were laughing and working, and they heard the sound of a carriage. A carriage came from the direction of Qingyang Town and stopped in front of them.
The two servants jumped out of the car first, and then Chen Qian dragged his round body out of the car, pushed away the servant's hand to support him, jumped out of the car, and jumped to the place. The two servants were so scared that they shouted. The two older followers following the carriage also jumped off the horse and surrounded Chen Qian.
"Don't make a fuss, am I fine? Stay away from me." Chen Qian waved his hand impatiently, and then ran towards Lian Man'er, "Liang Man'er, I'm here to play with you!"
Lian Man'er was squatting on the ground and planting hair. He raised his head when he heard the sound. Seeing Chen Qian running over excitedly, he couldn't help but want to touch his forehead.
"Hey, what are you playing with? Let me play with it too?" Chen Qian ran to Lian Man'er, looking at her with a pair of slender little eyes full of novelty.
Chen Xiaopang, a child in this city, must have thought she was playing games. Lian Man'er had a look of embarrassment and looked at Chen Qian.
"I'm not playing, I'm working. This is a hairy chew, I'm planting hairy chew." Lian Man'er told Chen Qian patiently.
"Oh, let me plant it too." Chen Qian accepted Lian Man'er's words without any obstacles, and became more interested in planting hair.
Lian Man'er had experienced the clinginess of the little fat man. After thinking about it, she nodded. Chen Qian obviously couldn't do it, and it was not easy for him to make a piece of clay, so there was only one job left that Chen Qian could do.
"Then you come and water it." Lian Man'er said, "This watering is very important. You can first see how much water Xiaoqi pours. It cannot be more or less. Otherwise, the hairy ones that have been planted will not survive."
Chen Qian was really happy after hearing Lian Man'er's words, so he turned his gaze to Xiaoqi. It seemed that he had given up the idea of snatching the work in Lian Man'er's hands.
Xiaoqi demonstrated Chen Qian and gave him the water puff.
Chen Qianle couldn't even close his mouth. He carefully poured water into the pit, and kept asking Lian Man'er to do it.
After planting all the hairy seedlings, Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief. The arrival of the little fat man did not cause any trouble because of her clever arrangements, but also helped a little. Although, they did not need the little fat man's help at all.
Chen Qian looked at the rows of hairs that had been planted, and he was so happy.
"Can melon seeds grow in the future? The kind of melon seeds you can eat?" Although Lian Man'er and others explained to him for a long time, Chen Qian was still unable to associate the seedlings in front of him with the hairs they were eating.
"That's right." Lian Man'er nodded.
Lian Man'er wanted to go back to the shop to wash his hands, so Chen Qian naturally followed him. His two followers had already told Zhang Shi and Lian Shouxin that Shen Liu would stay in Qingyang for one night and handle some things. Chen Qian couldn't stay in the town and insisted on coming to play with Lian Man'er and some children. Shen Liu agreed and sent them to follow him.
Zhang and Lian Shouxin knew about Chen Qian and Doctor Shi. They treated Chen Qian more seriously than Shen Liu, so they naturally agreed to everything. They repeatedly told Lian Man'er's three children to take Chen Qian to play well.
Lian Man'er was a little worried. Chen Qian had an extraordinary status and was not comparable to a solid country kid. It was not that easy to play with him.
Chen Qian seemed to have not realized Lian Man'er's thoughts at all. He asked the servant to bring in a big box, which was filled with exquisite snacks.
"Man'er, I'll give you something." Chen Qian asked Lian Man'er to have a snack, "Wulang, Xiaoqi, you two can eat too."
Lian Man'er picked up a piece of pine nut cake and put it in her mouth.
Chen Qian also twisted a piece and muttered in a low voice: "I won't eat your fruit." After that, he glanced at Lian Man'er with his thin eyes.
Lian Man'er almost choked. She remembered that she had some snacks in the morning, and then saw that the entourage would not let Shen Liu and Shen Qian eat anything outside, so she took the box back. At that time, Chen Qian also saw the box.
She didn't let Chen Qian say anything at that time. Who would have thought that this little fat man would hold grudges.
Lian Man'er narrowed her eyes and pretended not to hear Chen Qian's words. She originally planned to eat only one piece, but she deliberately twisted another piece and ate it with relish.
Chen Qian was not angry, but was very happy.
"Man'er, do you like to eat pine nuts? Then this piece is left for you." Chen Qian pointed to another piece of pine nut cake in the box and said.
Seeing him like this, Lian Man'er had nothing to say.
After eating snacks for a while, Chen Qian couldn't sit still again.
"Man'er, let's go out and have fun."
"There is nothing fun outside. It's not that we can sit in the house and eat snacks and talk." Lian Man'er said, it's not that she doesn't want to go out to play, but that Chen Qian's identity made her worry.
"Oh..." Chen Qian was not discouraged by this. He moved his butt on the mat and said excitedly again, "Man'er, I'll bring a kite, let's fly a kite."
"Okay." Seeing Chen Qian say this, Lian Man'er thought about it and agreed.
Today's wind is not small, and it's very suitable for flying kites.
Chen Qian brought a lucky swallow kite with bamboo strips made of bones and topped with high-quality silk. The kite is colorful, the swallows are vivid in shape, and the two hard wings are painted with beautiful bat patterns. The kite's spools and strings are also top-quality goods.
Obviously this kite is of great value.
Children of the village households will fly kites during this season. However, they usually have no money or are reluctant to buy ready-made kites, and most of them make kites to play with themselves.
Without bamboo strips, they usually use flexible willow branches to make the kite skeleton to make the simplest diamond shape, and the most cheap white paper is pasted on it. However, don’t underestimate the creativity of children because of material poverty. Even with the roughest black ink lines, they can also draw various realistic and vivid patterns.
Lian Man'er, Goro and Xiaoqi made such a kite and added streamers to the three corners of the kite. The spool of the kite they used was a thick wooden stick, and the thread was twisted with a few strands of cotton thread.
Such a simple kite still brings them a lot of fun.
When I came out to fly kites with Shen Qian, even Man'er took out his own kite. The location for flying kites was chosen on the newly bought land of her house. This place is big and has no obstacles, so it is the most suitable for flying kites.
"Man'er, what is the painting on your kite?" Seeing that Lian Man'er also took out the kite, Chen Qian approached him curiously and looked at it.
Lian Man'er handed over the kite so that Chen Qian could see it more clearly.
"Can't you tell it? It's very obvious." Lian Man'er said.
Chen Qian frowned, and the round ball was drawn on Lian Man'er's kite, which seemed a bit like something, but who would draw this and that on the kite?
"This, no, it's not a bun, right?" Chen Qian said tentatively.
