Lin Dai is just a little girl movie after all. Dingdian Novels,...

Even though she is stubborn, she doesn't know what the difference between boys and girls is. She is really tired after traveling around the world, so she has to endure the grievance and go to bed. She lifted up the quilt and found that there was only one quilt. She had to pout and lay down next to Chenxi and cover it.

Although Chen Xi claimed to be mentally mature, he slept with a little girl, especially the bride whom Zhou appointed him, and he felt a little strange.

But when riding a ox cart during the day, people almost fell apart. When they arrived, they made bellows. They were exhausted and fell asleep without realizing it.

The nights are very quiet.

Chen Xi woke up in the middle of the night, Lin Dai curled up into a ball, and her body was trembling with the corner of the quilt on her body. Chen Xi shook her head and covered her with a quilt, and then she fell asleep.

The next morning, Chen Xi opened his eyes. It was already noon. Lin Dai had already gotten up and was washing clothes with Zhou Shi by the ancient well in the middle of the yard.

Chen Xi rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room.

Zhou was hanging clothes, looking at him for a few glances and scolded: "The little brat slept in again, but Dai'er knew that she felt sorry for her mother. You have to learn from her as a son."

Lin Dai hummed softly, showed a proud smile to Chen Xi, and squeezed his eyes like a stunning force, but said obediently: "Mom takes in Dai'er, it's time for Dai'er to help her do things."

Zhou said happily: "Mom really doesn't feel sorry for my little heart. I will treat you like a daughter in the future and let that stupid boy stand aside."

Chen Xi fell into trouble and had to stand by the ancient well and watch the two young women working.

Zhou said while hanging her clothes, "Are you hungry? There is some porridge in the kitchen. You go and drink it. Today is the day of the city. Mom takes you to take a walk."

Lin Dai was very happy to hear this, but Chen Xi didn't take it seriously.

The day of the market in Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other regions in the south. The towns are divided into four, seven, two, five, and three, six, nine. The day of the market is always adjacent to each other without repeated, so that both buyers and sellers have trading opportunities. People usually take advantage of the day to purchase when they have any needs.

Chen Xi asked carefully: "Mom, when will we go back to Taohua Village?"

Zhou said, "When I came out, some people said I wanted to stay in the city. Why did I clamor to go back after less than a day? You guys, you know that you are used to being in the countryside and not used to being in the city. However, I discussed with your father. Since the master doesn't mind staying for a long time, I'll just live for a while. Anyway, the farm work at home is done, so we won't be much more, so we'll go back when the autumn harvest is over."

Chen Xi asked with some doubts: "Will grandmother agree?"

Zhou smiled and said, "I asked your father to find someone to write a letter back. So what if the old lady doesn't agree, would she still send someone to tie us back? You kid can live here with peace of mind! You don't have to look at people's eyes and live freely, and with Dai'er, a good girl, Isn't it good to live such a life?"

Chen Xi nodded and said nothing.

He originally wanted to stay in the city. Although Ninghua County was much worse than those in later generations at this time, there were always more opportunities for business travel from Fujian to Jiangxi than in mountain villages.

The most important thing is that if you want to go to school, you must stay in the county town.

After breakfast, Zhou took Chen Xi and Lin Dai out to the ruins. On the way, Zhou's face was full of smiles. He said he would buy new clothes, and he said he would buy snacks for the two to satisfy his cravings.

Chen Xi thought that it was because my father gave all the money he saved last night. Zhou had money and was in the mood to buy it. Otherwise, Zhou would not spend money with his frugality.

"Look at if this material is good?"

Zhou and his two stopped in front of the stall selling cloth on the roadside, constantly comparing the two red fabrics of similar colors, which seemed difficult to choose.

At this time, there were artists from Jianghu performing sword swallowing and spitting fire on the opposite Kongba. Lin Dai was blinded by the eyes. Chen Xi, who was familiar with various tricks, had no interest at all. He looked up at Zhou and said, "Mom, this material looks good, but mom, are you too bright when you wear it?"

Zhou scolded, "Boy, before you came, you told your mother that she would dress up beautifully, but why did she say such despicable words when she entered the city? But this was not bought for me. I wanted to make two clothes for Dai'er and I bought them all ready-made clothes, and there was no such good material."

"We can't dress too coldly after entering the city. Even if we don't care, we are afraid of embarrassing the master!"

Chen Xi shrugged and said nothing.

Zhou went to more than a hundred people to buy five-foot cloth. Then the three of them went to the tailor shop where they made clothes and tailored it for Daier. Zhou gave the good materials that he couldn't bear to wear to Lin Dai to make clothes, but he didn't feel sorry for Lin Dai's little face. Lin Dai's little face was full of gratitude, and he became more and more obedient when he spoke to Zhou.

The clothes will take two days at the earliest. After leaving the tailor's shop, the three of us went to buy some necessary rice and grain to go home. Zhou carried them. Although Zhou didn't look very strong, she was used to farm work in the village and it was not difficult to lift half a bag of rice.

It was already noon when Zhou was preparing to cook, Shen Mingjun hurried back and pulled Chen Xi out.

"Master, where are you going?" Zhou quickly chased after him and asked.

Shen Mingjun said: "A guest came from the lord and said he wanted to meet Xiaolang. Now, Butler Liu asked me to take him over and you don't have to worry. Just cook as you should. If we are ready, we will eat first."

Chen Xi was pulled by Shen Mingjun to the Wang family's backyard.

There were already four or five people standing in the middle of the yard, all wearing bright silk and satin, and obviously their status was not low.

The middle-aged man with a big belly with a round face and a plaid silk dress was talking about something, which attracted discussion.

Then, several people entered the kitchen.

Among these people, it was obviously the middle-aged and energetic old man in the middle. He stroked his beard and did not express any opinion, but just listened with a smile. Butler Liu, who was tall yesterday, was hunched over and pulled the bellows to give a demonstration, which seemed extremely humble.

"So I'm here to see the bellows."

Chen Xi muttered in a low voice.

He followed Shen Mingjun to the place and was stopped by several servants. He could only stand beside his father and look at the kitchen in the distance.

After Butler Liu gave the bellows demonstration, the old man nodded and praised: "I really thought it was clever. I didn't expect that the bellows of the blacksmith shop could be used at home."

Carpenter Sun walked forward with a proud look on his face. After Butler Liu introduced him, the old man asked, "Did you think of putting the bellows next to the stove?"

Carpenter Sun quickly saluted and explained: "It is true that things are made by villains, but there are others who think of this."

"Oh? I want to see where the person is? Can I invite him?" The old man walked out of the kitchen and looked around, but he could not see any special person.

At this time, Butler Liu came out to wave and asked Shen Mingjun to lead Chen Xi forward.

Shen Mingjun bowed and bowed: "This master, my child is ignorant and he blew the bellows out randomly. I'm afraid he will ruin your eyes."

Chen Xi walked forward and gave a greeting.

When the old man saw that Chen Xi was a young man with a bad breast, his face was full of surprise. He pointed at Chen Xi and looked at Butler Liu next to him: "Is it this young man?"

Butler Liu replied: "It was when he went to his house yesterday and saw him fiddling with this item in the yard. After asking carefully, he realized that it was used for the kitchen stove to blow fire. When he felt it was novel, he asked the carpenter at home to try to make one. Who would have thought it would be useful?"

At this time, the middle-aged fat man wearing plaid silk also walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Chen Xi looking up and looking up, Shen Mingjun quickly patted his son's little head and reminded him: "This is the master of the master, hurry up and kowtow to the master."

The middle-aged fat man smiled and waved his hand: "No, the descendants of the mansion have produced a skilled craftsman with ingenious intentions. This is a blessing for my Wang family. Now even the chief clerk of the county government has come to see it in person, which can be regarded as adding glory to my Wang family. Mingjun, you have given birth to a good son!"

Shen Mingjun lowered his head and smiled: "It's the master who taught you well."

Only then did Chen Xi realize that the old man was the chief clerk of the county government.

If you want to talk about this chief clerk, the county government office is second only to the county magistrate and the county magistrate. It is usually the ninth rank or the ninth rank, assisting the county magistrate in managing grain and horses and police. However, there are also small counties that do not have county magistrates and chief clerks, and only the magistrates' subordinates' dictionary. Generally speaking, the dictionary is in charge of arrest, prisons and prisoners and "dianwen is removed from the cashier."

However, although the chief clerk is an official who has entered the order of rank, he still has to rely on the county magistrate. Otherwise, the magistrate only needs to assign affairs to the county magistrate and the clerk, so the chief clerk will be emptied. He will not tell what benefits he can't get, and he will still have to take responsibility if something happens. It is a typical two-sided unpleasant one.

Although the county lord of Ninghua was only a small official of the ninth rank, he was still a noble person in this county town. The two words of official character are the ones, and the gentry in the places without the protection of fame and fortune usually had to look up and please, let alone those merchants with low status.

Xia Zhubu nodded and smiled, and asked, "Little kid, how did you think of introducing the bellows into the stove at home?"

Before Chen Xi could speak, butler Liu urged: "Little guy, Master Xia asks you, hurry up and say it."

Shen Mingjun said: "Master, my child may be a little afraid of having sex."

Chen Xi said, "I don't know what the bellows in the blacksmith shop look like. This is all I thought of myself. I just want to make a blowing tool for my mother to use. It's very hard to blow the fire on the stove every time I want my mother to save some effort."

Yi's words made the Chief Xia nodded.

In this era, no matter how good the work is, it is just a lowly handicraftsman. He cannot be promoted. Only scholars are the pride of this era! Confucianism takes filial piety first, and Chen Xi first defines his behavior as filial piety, which is to win the favor of Xia Zhubu.

Sure enough, Master Xia was full of praise: "Not only is he a smart kid, he is also very filial, and his future is limitless. Have you started studying?"

Shen Mingjun responded respectfully: "When you say that, my child is only seven years old and has not yet entered school."

The fat man next to him said, "Sir, you can't underestimate this family. The eldest uncle of the little kid is a student in our county, and the Shen family can be regarded as a scholarly family."

The chief clerk Xia thought for a while and suddenly said, "Can the Shen family be the descendant of Chen Tongzhi, the former Zhongzhi Gong?"

After receiving the Fatty Master’s affirmative answer, Master Xia sighed: “Mr. Zhongzhi was a famous figure in Tingzhou Prefecture back then, but he did not expect that the descendants of the Shen family would be in such a downfall and would actually work in the mansion.”

"This kid is so smart that it cannot be delayed. It is best to allow him to study as soon as possible, and may achieve success and inherit the mantle of Zhongzhi Gong."
