I played as an assistant in ancient times

"No." Although Lu Guan had no memory, he would not say yes. He saw Pu Jiu look at him deeply and then stood up. Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "Is the grandson of the Zhongqin family making false accusations?"

"Many people are jealous of your uncle's job." Pu Jiu ignored him after saying that. Humph, you remembered it again after a night.

Lu Guan was happy to sort out all the information by himself, but he soon became bored again. Before he completely left Linghe County, he was already thinking about when he would come back.

On the other side, Shen Changsui achieved his goal and quickly returned. The little black cat kept complaining in his ear about Lu Guan touching his fur without permission, and he treated it as the accompaniment of his running.

Crossing the country for nearly thirty miles barehanded was much easier for him, who was now a martial artist and in his teens.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me?"

"I'm listening to you intently."

"Liar, huh! I decided to stay with Shen Xiaoye from now on." At least she would keep talking to me.

Shen Changsui readily agreed, "Okay."

By the time he sped back to Jiuli Village, only half an hour had passed, around the beginning of the Si hour.

Seeing that the door of his house was locked, Shen Changsui grabbed the basket and threw it into the yard, then turned around and ran to the fields.

Who knew that after only a few steps, he heard Brother Qian calling him, "Sui Ge'er."

"Brother Qian, if you have something to say, just tell me. Don't be so polite." Seeing the other party holding out a pair of pheasants, he quickly waved his hands.

Qian Da's face was red, and he didn't know if it was because of the sun or because of embarrassment. "No, no, it was my mother who pulled out some of Xiaoye's herbs."

He had hunted a lot of game today and was feeling very happy, but when he heard some people in the village gossiping about it, he asked his mother about it, but was scolded instead.

"I'll go to the mountains to find some medicinal herb seedlings for Xiaoye later. If I can't find any, I'll hunt more wild animals to pay for the compensation." He turned around and put the pheasant at the door of Shen's house.

Shen Changsui sighed. If he chased after him, the other party would not want to tell him anything. Otherwise, it might cause Old Mrs. Hang to beat and scold Brother Qian again. He unlocked the door and entered the house, picked up the backpack from behind the wall, and felt for the key at the kitchen door to enter the house.

It was hot and it was not easy to keep the pheasant for too long. After washing his face, he first boiled a pot of hot water to singe its feathers.

The ground pot stove cooks quickly. Just scoop out the hot water and pour it into the basin, and the chicken feathers are cooked instantly.

Just as he opened the kitchen door, he heard Xiao Ye's cheerful voice: "Aunt, hurry up. The door is open, so it must be Fourth Uncle who is back."

Someone arrived, and Shen Xiaoye ran in carrying a wicker basket of grass. "Fourth uncle, did you go to Lingshan to catch two chickens?"

"Brother Qian sent it." Shen Changsui plucked the chicken feathers quickly and said, "I'll send him the canned fish when no one is paying attention during lunch break.

How much can Hang pull out of the grass he planted? It's not worth his compensation. Where's grandma?"

"Grandma has become addicted to picking wild duck eggs by the river with great-grandfather and great-grandmother. No matter how we call her, she refuses to come back." Shen Xiaoye hurried to complain.

Shen Changsui frowned, "Her legs are afraid of the cold, go and pull her back."

"Sui'er, mother is just standing far away weaving some straw baskets for duck eggs. It's rare for her to come out to relax, so it's nothing big to play with." Huang came into the house. She always knew that her mother-in-law was worried about something, and because of the frequent pain in her legs and feet, she was even more reluctant to go out.

Shen Xiaoye: "Fourth uncle, go pick her up later, grandma will definitely be willing to come back.

So are things going smoothly in your county town? "

"Well, it went smoothly. We'll invite uncle and aunt over later to have chicken for lunch. Sister-in-law, how about inviting Brother Qian to come and have a drink with uncle?" Shen Changsui suggested.

Huang squatted down and picked up the chicken feathers in another basin of hot water to wash them: "We are having a family meal, he won't come. And we didn't ask Hang for compensation in the first place, the money must have been sent secretly.

Instead of giving him the trough fish, you might as well make him a bellows to thank him for helping us harvest and grind the wheat in the summer. This way you won’t get scolded for giving him money.”

Shen Changsui thought about it and it made sense. "Yes, last time Brother Qian said that the bellows he made was not as light as ours after using it twice."

At this time, bellows were mostly used in metallurgical iron shops, while ordinary people used blowpipes to blow the fire in the stove.

Last year, after he made a very useful one, he and his elder brother made quite a few and sold them at several large markets nearby, earning some money.

But the vast majority of working people are good at imitating and learning, and the method of making bellows was quickly learned by others. Their business was only prosperous for a while.

At this time, Shen Xiaoye came over from the corner pushing a short pot, "I heard about this from Uncle Qian's daughter, Li Zi. When Uncle Qian was making a bellows at home, his second grandmother, Old Lady Hang, held the chicken feathers and didn't allow Uncle Qian to sew them on the wind board.

Later, when Uncle Qian was not at home, he opened the bellows cover and plucked the bird feathers that people had picked up from the mountains to sew on. After that, he was able to put it back in its original shape. He was simply a genius. "

"She only does things that are not surprising." Huang scrubbed the chicken feathers vigorously. Although this thing could be sold for some money, she had to save up a lot of it.

Seeing Xiaoye pushing the vat non-stop, she asked again, "Also, why did you roll it over here?"

"I'll push the brush to the well to wash the clothes, so I don't have to fetch water." Shen Xiaoye hoped that there was a well at home, but the elders were not well-off, so he had to fetch water from the mill in the village every time, and then run to the river on the other side to do the laundry.

"These pulled blue grasses need to be soaked while they are fresh." As she said this, she also took away a basket of various blue grasses.

Huang saw her kicking the jar again, and she quickly chased after her and grabbed the basket: "What a shame, it's ugly.

Come on, I'll go wash with you. Sui Ge'er, wash the whole chicken and take a rest. Wait for me to come back and cook."

"Yeah." Shen Changsui responded, but he was not sure whether he would do as he was told.

Shen Xiaoye really liked the food cooked by her uncle, but the Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized that gentlemen should stay away from the kitchen, especially scholars, so most families let them leave their jobs to concentrate on the imperial examinations.

She didn't want to mention her uncle cooking in front of her aunt, so she just concentrated on pushing the pot.

Fortunately, her home is at the end of the village, and the river just flows through the end of the village, which makes it much more convenient.

When the mother and daughter arrived, some women were already washing clothes by the river. After everyone greeted each other, the granddaughter-in-law of the head of the family came over to look for Shen Xiaoye, "You went to the city again yesterday? What happened?"

"I didn't understand what my sister-in-law said." Shen Xiaoye used a ladle to scoop water into the tank.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law of the village head picked up the bed sheet and said, "I know you are very strong. You can chop sticks with your bare hands and help your sister-in-law wring water. Let me tell you a secret."

"No, I'll help you twist it. It's better to keep the secret." Shen Xiaoye could guess with her knees that there was a high probability that when the guard Siti went to Qian Lichang's house to inquire about something, he was seen by this sister-in-law.

Huang dropped the blue grass and turned around, “I’ll help you, Xiaoye, go wash it, and rinse it in the river with the basket.

She is already twelve years old, it is not appropriate for her to touch the things in your room."

Before he finished speaking, a pair of hands had already placed the bed sheet in the hands of the village head's eldest granddaughter-in-law.

The other party smiled at Huang embarrassedly. She really didn't pay attention to this. It was mainly because she heard that Xiaoye cured Mrs. Hang, so she sent a message and wanted to hear her details.

Shen Xiaoye was too happy to listen to any secrets. As she was washing a basket of herbs, Li Zi, who had just finished washing clothes, came over with a basin and asked, "Sister Xiaoye, what are these herbs?"

Shen Xiaoye laughed: "Have you heard about it?"

"It's all over the village that you tied up the second grandmother. I was so happy to hear that." Li Zi and her sister Tao Zi were often bullied by Hang. "Sister Xiaoye, can you teach me?"
