Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Liujiaqiao Village is a large village in Linchuan, with a total of more than 40 households, and the village comes from the "six great families".In times of chaos, people with six surnames moved here to open up wasteland and did not name the village. However, in this place where many rivers live, there is only one single-plank bridge, which makes it very inconvenient for people to come and go, and the village is also lagging behind. .

Later, members of the six families gathered together to pool money to build bridges, and a total of six bridges were built in the village, each named after the six families.After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the government came to set up a household post for the village, and named the village "Liujiaqiao".

Although Liujiaqiao Village is not a village with a rich cultural background, after the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the wasteland here was used as a place to distribute farmland to appease the refugees. Therefore, there are many outsiders, and there are already 42 households.

As one of the six surnames in the village, the Xia family naturally has a large number of people, and the old man Xia's family, who has been reluctant to separate for a long time, is even more of a big family in the village.

Xia's house has five tile-roofed houses and three thatched houses. Chicken and duck, and a small vegetable patch.

Although it doesn't look as good as Zhang He's mansion from the outside, it is definitely larger than her second courtyard in terms of area.

When Zhang He arrived at Xia's house, all the men in Xia's family were working in the fields, and only one old man was enjoying the shade under a locust tree in front of the door.The old man's temples have turned gray, his hair is a little loose, and age spots and wrinkles have appeared on his face and hands, which shows that he is indeed getting old.

He was lying on a dilapidated rattan rocking chair, his eyes closed and he didn't know whether he was asleep or awake.Seeing him, Xia Cui called out: "My family."

The old man let out a "huh" through his nostrils, obviously not asleep, but he also recognized the voice and arrogantly ignored it.

Xia Cui seemed to be used to it, but Xia Jiniang also called out: "Aunt." The old man opened his eyes and said calmly, "Madam, you know you're back!"

Xia Ji Niang is ranked first among the granddaughters of Old Man Xia's lineage, so everyone in the Xia family calls her "Auntie".

Old man Xia's bad tone made Zhang He frown, and Xia Jiniang was used to it. He was a little harsh on the eldest son and the first wife, and he was naturally dissatisfied with her going to Aunt Li's house instead of staying at home.Xia Jiniang came back, so he naturally wanted to show his majesty as a parent.

When Old Man Xia opened his eyes, he noticed Zhang He who was following Xia Cui's mother and daughter. That majestic black bull could attract his attention.Taking a rough look at Zhang He again, he didn't see anything special about her, but he felt that she was more delicate than ordinary men.

"This is the person who sent Madam home, come here to ask for a bowl of water." Xia Cui introduced Zhang He.

"Hi old man, my name is Zhang He, from Qinghe Village." Zhang He stepped forward nervously, after all, the other party was Xia Jiniang's grandfather, and in front of her was an old man.Even if she doesn't like his attitude towards Xia Jiniang, she will still be polite when facing an old man.

Old Man Xia frowned, and Zhang He sent Xia Jiniang back. They were about the same age, if someone deliberately used them, then Xia Jiniang's innocence would be ruined.Although the Xia family is now in decline, he still cares about etiquette in this regard.But he still nodded: "In that case, everyone in Xia, go and bring him a bowl of water!"

Both Xia Cui's mother and daughter and Zhang He heard what Old Man Xia meant, and he didn't even intend to let Zhang He in.Xia Cuishi hesitated to speak, then gave Zhang He an awkward look, turned around and went in to pour water.

Zhang He stood in embarrassment for a while, Xia Cuishi brought out the water, Zhang He drank it in one gulp and returned the bowl to her.Xia Jiniang knew that Zhang He was about to leave, but she never thought that she would suddenly go around behind the ox cart for a while and bring down a basket of eggplants and a catty of tea she bought at the country market.

"Aunt Li asked me to bring this to Mrs. Xia's parents." Zhang He handed the item to Mrs. Xia Cui with a bright smile, making no one doubt the truth of her words.

Xia Cui seemed to believe it, and said in surprise: "Why did she send these here!"

When Old Man Xia saw the catty of tea leaves, his eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.Xia Jiniang naturally knew that Zhang He was lying, not to mention whether Aunt Li asked her to give the eggplant, but she said that she knew exactly where the tea came from.

"Brother Qingshi is getting married, it's a festive event, so let me let you know it!" Zhang He didn't write a draft when he lied, so Xia Cuishi didn't doubt that he was there.

"Qingshi is getting married, what a happy event!" Xia Cui said happily.

While talking, two small figures appeared in a tile-roofed house in the north. A five-year-old girl and a three-year-old boy with bare buttocks ran out across the high threshold and greeted Xia Jiniang. Call: "Auntie, Auntie is back!"

When Xia Jiniang saw the two little guys, a smile finally appeared on her face. After the two little guys hugged her legs, she bent down and touched their heads, saying: "Xiaoya, Jin'er, aunt is back."

"Auntie is willing to come back, Xiaoya misses you so much!" Xia Ya said coquettishly.

"My aunt misses you too." Xia Jiniang's gentle and doting smile made Zhang He dumbfounded.She thought to herself that Xia Jiniang must like children very much, and if she married someone, she would have children sooner or later.

It seemed that this harmonious scene could not be seen, and an unharmonious voice sounded in front of a tile-roofed house in the northwest: "Oh, I am willing to come back, I thought you forgot that there is still work to be done at home! "

Xia Cui's face suddenly darkened, Xia Jiniang restrained her smile, raised her head and shouted to the woman: "Second Aunt."

"Since you're back, what are you doing standing outside the door, why don't you come over and help with weaving?" Second Aunt Xia couldn't help urging Xia Ji Niang to help with the work, regardless of Xia Cuishi's presence.

"Ma'am just came back, let her rest for a while." Xia Cui said.

The old man Xia coughed, and his voice was a bit majestic: "There are guests at home, so be careful not to make people laugh at you!"

Second Aunt Xia took two steps before she saw the figure hidden by trees and earthen walls. Her eyes were on Zhang He's body, and Zhang He's heart trembled with that calculating gaze.

"This is—" Second Aunt Xia had many guesses in her mind.

"Come into the room and talk!" Old man Xia got up and waved to Xia Jin, "Come in, come to great-grandfather."

Xia Jin leaned towards him, and helped him walk into the house.Xia Cuishi and Xia Jiniang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Zhang He, "Come in and sit for a while!"

Zhang He nodded, thinking that if she hadn't given Xia Cuishi a basket of eggplants and a catty of tea, he might not even be able to get in!

Xia Cuishi believed Zhang He's words. Old Man Xia took notice of her cart of eggplants, so how could Aunt Li specially ask her to send eggplants that were obviously for other purposes?And if Mrs. Li really wanted to give something, how could she let her instead of Xia Jiniang?

Xia Jiniang's bags were all in the bamboo basket she was carrying, and she hadn't mentioned the tea leaves in so long since she came back.The most important point is that even if Li Qingshi is going to get married, the wedding gifts should be sent by Li Qingshi, so how can Zhang He send them!

The old man Xia is as clear as a mirror, he guessed that Zhang He and Xia Jiniang should not be in the same way, and what purpose Zhang He has, won't he know after a while? !Thinking of the eldest son always complaining that he didn't consider his granddaughter's marriage, then he took this opportunity to show them that he was not heartless!

The big tile-roofed house in the north is the main house when you look closely. There is a hall in the middle, and there are rooms on the left and right.Zhang He guessed that the two rooms on the left and right must be the rooms of Old Man Xia and Da Xia. As expected, Mrs. Xia Cui went into the room on the left after putting down the eggplant and tea leaves.

The remaining four tile-roofed houses, including the one where Xia Jiniang's nephew and niece walked out, should be the residences of Xia Er, Xia San, and Xia Jiniang's elder brother.Xia Jiniang's room was a thatched hut, and Zhang He had already seen it when she put away her bag and went back.

Although most people's homes are thatched huts, Zhang He still feels sorry for Xia Ji Niang.She suddenly had an idea, hoping that Xia Jiniang would go with her and live with her!

"Are you from Qinghe Village?" Old Man Xia asked Zhang He with shrewd eyes.

"Uh, the younger generation was originally from Zhangjiazhuang. After the family was separated and settled in Qinghe Village, he became a person from Qinghe Village." Zhang He said, there are several ways to divide the family. One is to separate from the household post and establish a separate household post, and the property is naturally divided.

Under normal circumstances, the first division method is used for the division of big families, but Zhang He thought that her elder brother must hate her very much and wanted to drive her out completely, so he adopted the second division method.

But even with the second method, her father is still Zhang Tingyu, and she is still a member of the Zhang clan.

"So, your parents are gone?" Old Man Xia asked again.

Zhang He opened his mouth, but she still couldn't figure out whether the main room was her mother or her biological mother, which was considered legal mother.Xia Jiniang learned about Zhang He's life experience from Mrs. Li. She thought that Zhang He felt awkward about his status and didn't know how to answer, so she said, "Ah Weng, why are you asking him this?"

The old man Xia thought: "Isn't it all for you?!"

Zhang He was afraid that his grandparents and grandson would have an unpleasant quarrel again, so he said, "My mother is still alive, and my elder brother is serving at her knees."

Old man Xia's family started to decline when he was young, so he smelled the answer from Zhang He's words, so he didn't pursue it further.On the contrary, it was Xia Cui who heard something, and his mind became active, and asked about Zhang He's family background.

Xia Jiniang gave Zhang He a sorry look, and Zhang He smiled indifferently.

Second Aunt Xia vaguely knew what Old Man Xia was thinking after listening for so long, so she slipped out to find San Xia's wife Ma Shi.Mrs. Ma was weaving in the room, when she saw her come back, he said: "Didn't you say that the aunt is back, why didn't she come to help?"

"I did, but a young man sent her back." Second Aunt Xia said in a strange way.

Third Aunt Xia stopped what she was doing and looked at her in surprise: "Why, this is going to be a lifetime?"

"You can't tell! When he came, he sent a basket of purple melons and a catty of tea. You don't know that my father-in-law has always been greedy for tea. He kept half a catty for himself and was reluctant to drink it. This is a gift from someone else." Come on, he is so rare! If the aunt hadn't told the boy Lang's family's preferences, how could the boy send so much tea?"

Third Aunt Xia pondered for a while, then asked: "Then can you find out who it is?"

"I can't hear anything, but I know that my father died and the family was separated, and his mother was raised by his elder brother." Second Aunt Xia said.

"Then see if he is rich!" Aunt Xia was a little anxious.

"How can I tell, besides, if he had money, he wouldn't come here in an ox cart, so he wouldn't even have a servant around!" Second Aunt Xia didn't care.

Third Aunt Xia was slightly disappointed, and said, "Then why are you telling me these things?"

Second Aunt Xia said bitterly: "Hey, why are you so confused. Think about the nerd in the long house who stays in the house all day, and then look at Erlang who doesn't want to go home; and think about it." My family’s Sanlang and Shiro, your Erniang, Wulang, and Liulang. Over the years, their long houses have never been in the field. Isn’t it all helped by the children of our two families? Why should my children have to work in the fields?"

"I know, but it's not just a day or two!" Aunt Xia said.

"So if my aunt gets married, how much dowry will we get? My family Sanlang and Shiro haven't even talked about marriage yet. If she is married and prepare a dowry for her, what will my family Sanlang and Shiro do?"

Third Aunt Xia was also very nervous: "Then what do you say?"

The author has something to say: Don't worry, the two of them haven't discovered their relationship yet, and they won't get married so soon_(:з」∠)_

Thanks for throwing 2 joyously! !Bazooka (capital) quack.
