The vendor was a smart man, and when he saw the man he glanced at, he was a handsome man. He was not wearing a wide robe, long sleeves, or a loose belt. It was rare to see a young man in well-dressed clothes, and he did not expose his chest and arms in pursuit of elegance.
Probably a foreigner.
He immediately started selling it, "It's a good rouge. It's the most popular style in Kyoto. I'm not bragging. All the wealthy ladies in Kyoto use it. I heard that even the concubines in the palace use it. If you come to Kyoto and don't buy it, , that means you came to Kyoto in vain, sir, do you want to buy one?"
Xie Yuanju looked at Que Si, who immediately took out the money and wrapped up the things on the stall without caring about anything.
Finally, the vendors couldn't help but leave with a happy farewell.
You can't ride a horse until you've passed the downtown area, so the two of them got on their horses and ran.
The wind in the fields in the early morning was refreshing and refreshing. Xie Miaoxuan felt refreshed while eating cakes and inhaling the cool breeze.
People working in the fields were dotted all over the place. They tapped their cheeks with their fingers and smiled sweetly. The autumn harvest was coming soon, and food was the farmer's livelihood. She didn't believe they could abandon their livelihood and run home in broad daylight.
She led the people to a high point on a field and looked over, then looked back at the dozen or so people following behind her, each of them carrying a sword and looking menacingly, like a bully out on the street.
She stopped and looked around, and saw a large area of empty grain drying field in the northwest. She turned to face the crowd and said, "You all go to the grain drying field and wait. Daniel can just follow me."
The whole day today should be spent outside. The sun will rise later. The autumn sun is still very strong. At the end, I was worried that these songs were too honest and sincere, so I did not forget to add a thoughtful sentence, "If I wait until the sun rises, When it gets bigger, find a shady place to hide by yourself.”
The subordinates were flattered. Does the girl care about us?
Daniel thought that she had arranged people to control the surroundings, so he quickly said, "Are you worried about the shortage of manpower? Don't worry. Lang Jun had arranged for more than ten people to hide in the dark before he left. If there is really an adverse situation, it will happen." Quickly block the surrounding exits."
"Xie Yuanju arranged someone in advance?"
"My husband is not worried about the girl's safety. Not only did he arrange for someone to hide in the dark, but he also told me carefully to stay by the girl's side at all times and not to leave even an inch."
Xie Miaoxuan nodded and said she understood. She had spent the past two days with Da Niu and found that this guy was upright and cute. He seemed to have only one thing in his mind. He talked about her as a girl in everything. She could see the key. He really took her as a girl into his heart, which was so...inexplicably lovable.
Who doesn’t like someone who is loyal to themselves.
However, she was still arranged to go to the grain-drying field, patted the big cow on the shoulder, and taught him, "Yesterday we came to the manor, and the villagers hid as if they were ghosts when they saw us. There must be something fishy in this. Today they may be because of We can't hide from the work in hand, but if we attack with such a large force, we might not be able to get anything out."
Talking carefully all the way, the two of them soon reached the field.
As expected by Xie Miaoxuan, the villagers didn't seem to expect that the nobles would come to the fields when the sun was shining brightly. They all looked like they wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide.
Simply cover your ears and steal the bell, bend your waist even lower, pretend you don't see him, keep silent and immerse yourself in the fields.
Xie Miaoxuan walked and observed, looking for the best person to break the ice.
Daniel followed Xie Miaoxuan closely and saw the reactions of the bankers one by one. He admired Xie Miaoxuan even more. The girl was so good at predicting things.
The manor covers an area of more than 27,000 acres. It was not until the sun was shining that Xie Miaoxuan took a full tour and felt confident.
Common sense says that this manor is close to Kyoto and is rich in resources. Yellow and orange autumn rice is everywhere. Father Xie only collects two levels of taxes here. The weather has been good in the past few years, and the farmers should be living not only richly, but at least. Just feel comfortable.
But along the way, she saw that there was not a single farmer who was not patched. Before the autumn harvest, farmers with some experience knew that they should buy meat to fill their stomachs and save some oil and water to cope with the heaviest labor in the autumn harvest. But she saw all the way. It turns out that the best thing to eat at lunch time is nothing more than hard, black flatbread with water.
The worst ones are even eating bran cakes and bean cakes.
The kind that can break a person's teeth.
No one went back to rest at noon.
Even children as young as four or five years old have no time to spare and work constantly behind their adults.
He has a big head and a small body, with a body made of bamboo and sticks, but his small face is still filled with ignorant joy.
She didn't know why these young children were so happy despite being so miserable.
Something flashed through my heart.
When he was inspecting the manor just now, Xie Miaoxuan discovered that someone didn't dodge so obviously when he saw her, and even glanced at her secretly.
Taking Daniel back there, I happened to see him enjoying the shade, and the sadness on his face almost overflowed.
"Is this bean cake delicious?" Xie Miaoxuan asked.
The man seemed to be taken aback. He quickly stood up, holding on to his clothes with both hands. He looked at her, and then at the bean cake that he had put away for dinner. After struggling several times on his face, he picked it up and held it in his hands. He handed it to her, "Girl, do you want to eat? Here it is."
Xie Miaoxuan took it and was about to taste it, and at the same time closed the distance so that she could ask questions more easily.
As a result, I tried hard to break it off, but it was as hard as a rock and couldn't be broken off at all.
"You have to hold it in your mouth and slowly wet it with saliva before you can enter it."
Hearing such an answer, Xie Miaoxuan's face suddenly darkened. He handed it to Daniel and motioned for him to break it off. Daniel broke off a small piece with his hands, and several small pieces fell to the ground. Xie Miaoxuan saw this. The distress in the dealer's eyes will turn into reality.
She took the small pieces that Daniel gave her and said, then picked up the pieces on the ground, patted them and stuffed them into her mouth, "It will be the autumn harvest in a while. If you eat this, there will be no oil or water in your stomach. After the autumn harvest, your body will not be able to bear it." Yes."
The banker was silent, and the trough on his face seemed to be deeper.
"These past few years have been bumper years, so I should have a lot of food stored at home. Why don't we eat something good? It will be difficult to make up for the loss later."
"If you are reluctant to give up food, you will never let your children go hungry no matter what."
The banker raised his eyes and stared at Xie Miaoxuan for a while, then looked around frantically. It was shaded here. Xie Miaoxuan walked in the field for a long time, and no one saw her wherever she went like at the beginning.
No one noticed the movement yet, so he lowered his head and replied slowly, "The child at home is gone."
