After the gifts were given, Zhang San also made clear his feelings for Fang Keying, and chatted with Fang Yiai for a while, mainly to inquire about the preferences of Fang Keying's mother, Fang Xu.
When his status was not up to standard, Zhang San was ready to give in to others and find another way out.
…
"Miss, what is this? There's a lot of ice, it's so cool." Xiaoyan asked curiously when she saw Fang Keying bringing back a wooden box with a lot of ice cubes and three strange-shaped objects in it.
"Try the ice cream," Fang Keying said happily, scooping out a piece of ice cream with a spoon for Xiaoyan to taste.
"Wow, it's delicious, sweet and delicious, and very refreshing. Where did this come from, Miss?" Xiaoyan asked happily, narrowing her eyes after taking a bite.
"This is a gift from Young Master Zhang." Fang Keying said happily when she saw that Xiaoyan also liked it.
"Oh, that's it. Hee hee! Miss, you are blushing." Xiaoyan said teasingly when she saw Fang Keying's blushing face.
"Hmph, don't even think about eating my ice cream again." Fang Keying said pretending to be angry.
"Miss, I was wrong, please let me have another bite." Xiaoyan said coquettishly, holding Fang Keying's arm.
Xiaoyan and Fang Keying grew up together. As Fang Keying's personal maid, although they have a master-servant relationship, they are as close as sisters. They often play and joke together in private.
The two joked for a while, and Xiaoyan pointed to the heart-shaped ice cream and said, "Miss, this heart-shaped ice cream is very beautiful, and there are words on it."
"You're not allowed to read, I'll keep this for myself." Fang Keying hurriedly closed the lid, Xiaoyan curled her lips and said with a smile: "If you don't want to see it, I won't. You can guess what it says.
.”
"Hey Xiaoyan, please beg for a beating." Fang Keying was furious and held up a pillow to scare Xiaoyan.
Xiaoyan quickly ran out with a smile, ran to the door and stuck out her tongue at Fang Keying.
Fang Keying calmed down and opened the wooden box carefully. Due to frequent opening, some of the ice cubes inside had melted.
Fang Keying picked up the small wooden box of peach heart ice cream and saw a few words written on it, "Please accept my heart."
Zhang San’s original intention was to express his sincere apology. At this time, Fang Keying thought that Zhang San was expressing his love to her, and she felt very sweet in her heart. She felt like a deer was bumping around in her heart. Zhang San had to know that he was wrong, maybe he was wrong.
How happy.
…
When Zhang San said goodbye to Fang Yiai and returned home, his little sister ran over and asked Zhang San: "Third brother, where did you go so early in the morning?"
Seeing the angry little girl, Zhang San gently patted the little girl's head with his hand and said: "I won't tell you, I won't tell you."
"Humph, third brother, I'm ignoring you." The younger sister said angrily when she saw that Zhang San didn't tell you even though he said a few words in a row, and still looked cheerful.
Zhang San came to the courtyard where the potatoes were being guarded and said to the leading guard: "The potatoes can be planted in the fields in the next two days. Do you want to tell the emperor when you come back?"
"Okay, sir, I will send someone to tell the emperor, what date will it be?" the leader of the guards replied.
"The day after tomorrow, I'll prepare it tomorrow." Zhang San replied.
After Zhang San and the leader of the guards finished talking, they left. Plant the potatoes early so that these people can leave early. Although they will not go out of this courtyard at home, they always feel that they are not comfortable living there.
On the third day, a decree came from the palace, saying that Zhang San should be prepared. The emperor would come in person to watch the potato planting tomorrow.
After hearing this, Zhang San complained in his heart: What's so good about growing potatoes? Does Li Shimin have nothing to do all day?
Zhang San naturally did not welcome Li Shimin to come over. Whenever Li Shimin saw something good, it would become public property without paying royalties. This made Zhang San very painful.
If Zhang San's inner thoughts were known to others, Zhang San might be sprayed into a sieve. What an honor it would be. How many people begged Li Shimin to go to his own house and couldn't get it.
"Sister-in-law Li, please arrange to clean up the house. A noble person is coming to the house tomorrow." Although Zhang San really didn't want Li Shimin to come over, he couldn't twist his thigh with his arms, so he had to accept it.
It's like if the leader wants to come for inspection, can he still hide away?
After listening to Zhang San's instructions, Mrs. Li hurriedly arranged for her servants to clean the house carefully from the inside out. Since the Lord said that a noble person was coming, he must be a high official, so naturally he did not dare to be vague.
"Third brother, who is coming tomorrow?" When the younger sister heard such a big noise, she ran out and asked.
"It's that Li Erlang from last time who didn't know how he managed to stay full. He wants to come over to see how to plant potatoes." Zhang San said angrily.
"Shh, third brother, please keep your voice down, there are still soldiers in the yard."
When the younger sister heard that it was Li Erlang who was coming, she later heard that the third brother said that it was the emperor. At that time, the younger sister and Xiaoyu were shocked. Now they were even more shocked to hear that Zhang San was pitiful about the emperor. At this time
, the emperor represents heaven, no one dares to disrespect him.
"Okay, it's okay, just do whatever you need to do." Zhang San said disapprovingly.
Although Zhang San had some respect for the imperial power, it was just a little bit. Born under the red flag, his state of mind was naturally different from that of people of this era.
When Xiaoyu came back, Zhang San called her sister, and Xiaoyu went with him to cut the potatoes into pieces. Originally, Zhang San didn't want to do it himself, but Li Shimin said that only Zhang San and the others could handle the potatoes. If anyone else dared to touch them,
Just chop it directly.
After hearing the words of the leader of the guards, Zhang San had ten thousand alpacas running past in his heart. Doesn't this mean that he, Xiaoyu and his younger sister will have to plant all these potatoes in the ground tomorrow?
"Dear me, I really regret giving you this gift!" Zhang San was filled with sadness.
With a grimace, Zhang San took Xiaoyu and Xiaomei to the potato house and began to work hard.
"Sir, why don't we do the cutting? You can rest first." Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Sanyi's unhappy expression and whispered.
"It's okay. How can I, a grown man, let you two little girls do it by yourself?" Zhang San said while cutting into pieces.
"Third brother, are we just going to plant these potatoes tomorrow?" the younger sister asked.
"Yes, hey, if I had known I wouldn't have given this thing as a gift, it would be so troublesome now." Zhang San said helplessly.
"It's okay, little sister, farming is going fast. If you don't want to go tomorrow, just rest at home." Seeing that Zhang San was unhappy, the little sister said.
"Okay, no matter what I say, I can't escape tomorrow. Besides, how can I let you two work in the fields under the sun? I'll be alone at home." Zhang San felt warm in his heart when he heard what his little sister said.
of.
"Master, let's work together. The potatoes in this acre of land will definitely be planted tomorrow." Xiaoyu said sweetly, wiping the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
"Yes, brothers and sisters work together and are as sharp as gold. Having you two sisters is really a blessing for me in my previous life." Zhang San stopped complaining and cut a potato with his knife.
"That's not true." The little girl replied proudly.
Xiaoyu also smiled knowingly, but there was an inexplicable feeling of loss in her heart.
