Gazi and Lao Ruan's family are very compatible, their hands and feet are diligent, and they often come over to help with some work, the proprietress is very good to him, and Gazi is also very good to other people's daughters.

There are many wild melons and fruits on the mountain, chestnuts and hazelnuts everywhere are not uncommon, in March, Gazi picks wild raspberries for her daughter, and sends her girl fruit in June, and there are more things that can be sent in autumn, soft dates, hawthorns, mountain plums, mountain pear eggs, mountain apricots, and sea cucumber and abalone, and August watermelons that are as white as jade and snow.

The girl's name is Jin Feng, Shanxi people are the most faithful inheritors of the ancient ancestors' heritage, the character is a very contradictory complex, both bold and stupid and stubborn, both righteous and chivalrous and conservative and stingy, the inside is obviously strong and incredible, and the outside is often timid and weak, which may be related to the geographical environment where Shanxi people live.

Today's Shanxi people are stingy and rustic, always facing the threat of foreign enemies in the north, and gradually bid farewell to the most prosperous and wealthy in the Han and Tang dynasties, and are successively caught up and surpassed by other provinces, Chang'an Luoyang is not in the core area of China, and the climate has too much influence on the northwest.

Shanxi people have a simple diet, they can't do without pasta, they soak in the vinegar jar all their lives, and at the same time, Shanxi has outstanding talents, and the celebrities can be described as bright stars, Shanxi belongs to the category of Jiangnan Shilin in the Ming Dynasty, not considered northerners.

Shanxi girls are famous for their gentleness and kindness, and they are also beautiful, and Jin Feng inherits the characteristics of Shanxi women, with natural simplicity and impulsiveness. Gazi fell in love with Jin Feng at first sight, but he was still young and couldn't express it, and secondly, his personality was too honest, and he resisted starting a family for fear of being restrained.

But recently, there was a hairy young man in the grocery store, there was nothing wrong with his body, and his temperament was Jin Feng's cousin, nicknamed Leper.

I don't know why, Gazi didn't like the leper from the beginning, and the two often pushed the cow as soon as they talked, because the leper always smiled at Jin Feng.

Gazi said, "Leper." If you are in the city, you are a scoundrel, and if you are in the book, you are a traitor. ”

The leper didn't care about this, he still smirked at Jin Feng, no one understood the reason why Gazi didn't like leprosy, Lao Ruan knew very well, and now Xu Hao also understood, Gazi was worried that the leper would be upgraded from a guy to a grocery store.

It was Xu Hao who smiled and said, "If you have no goal all day." I'm afraid that I won't be able to marry Jin Feng for the rest of my life. ”

"So what should I do?" Gazi, who was broken by a word, was flushed, but he couldn't wait to ask for an idea, in his heart Xu Sanye was the most capable person.

Xu Hao thought about it, Gazi is not a material for reading, he has been used to freedom since he was a child, and he will not get used to the boring military life, and if he leaves Jinfeng now, he will not agree to be killed.

He liked Gazi's character very much, so he said, "Then you come to me to be a little steward." Don't think you're a subordinate, the prime minister's seven-rank official, I guarantee that Lao Ruan and Ruan's sister-in-law will be impressed with you from now on. In the future, if you are good at doing things, you will have the qualification to be shorter and longer than the leper. ”

Gazi groaned: "Then I'll think about it." ”

"It's good to think about it. Men are afraid of getting into the wrong business. Xu Hao thought about it again, and said, "Otherwise, learn a craft." ”

Jin Feng in the distance spotted Xu Hao at a glance and beckoned to them excitedly.

The next day, Zhu Wu went to the countryside to see how the crops were growing. Gazi went up the mountain to look after the orchard. The soil on the mountain is loose, and the roots of the trees are full of insects and grass. Large, black crickets were jumping around, and a flock of mountain magpies were chirping.

Gazi picked some dried fruits and dark purple wild fruits, and ran down the mountain to bring them back to the golden phoenix at the bridgehead to eat.

At this time, the tour group organized by Xu Hao had gone to a certain island, Gazi had something to look for Zhu Wu, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw a sedan chair parked, and several sedan chairmen were squatting under the wall to drink tea and chat. Gazi knew that someone else was coming from the city, so he turned around and went to the barn to find Uncle Duck.

Uncle Duck is an old long-term worker of the fifth master, and he will sit in front of the warehouse every day to make straw sandals, and when he is gone, Gazi goes to the kitchen again. I saw Uncle Duck sitting at a small table with a few young men from the city, and some snacks were placed on the table.

Seeing that Gazi was coming, Uncle Duck invited him to sit down, it turned out that the new arrival was Zhu Xi, the son of the fifth master, who had just come from Henan to visit his father and Xu Hao and his wife, and had to go to Henan in a few days, and several people were talking about all kinds of interesting stories about Zhu Xi in office.

Gazi couldn't understand their conversation, and he didn't want to drink with strangers, so he ate the food silently and waited until Zhu Wu came back.

Gazi went to the study, worried that the floor would be dirty, so he took off his straw sandals and walked in barefoot.

Zhu Wu seemed to be very happy, and said to him with a smile: "Gazi, the tung oil we bought from Yunnan last year was bought by the sailor to brush the battleship this year, and I earned four or five thousand taels." Ha ha! The third master praised me, you have also helped a lot in the past year, what do you say you want? It's a pity that Liaodong can't grow tongzi. ”

Gazi said, "I don't want anything. Fifth master, you have caught four or five little hairy rabbits, when do you want them? ”

"That's a plaything for the young ladies, there are many girls in the garden, you can catch more tomorrow."

Gazi said again: "Fifth Master, you always said that tomorrow will be tomorrow, I will boil tea at home, if the young master and the fifth master go up to the mountain to hunt together, stay and rest." I'll leave if it's okay. ”

"Come on, send Gazi a pound of salt and two pounds of sugar, and let him go home." Zhu Wu waved his hand.

Gazi thanked him and was about to turn around and want to go out, when Zhu Wu's son Zhu Xi walked in and asked, "Gazi, have you become a parent?" ”

In a word, Gazi didn't know how to answer, looking at this young officer in his prime, he shook his head because of his excessive selfish desires.

Uncle Duck said: "We all persuaded him to look at a family business, but he was afraid of being fascinated by women, so he didn't dare to do it." ”

Zhu Xi smiled: "What are you afraid of?" What's so scary about women? You are not afraid of your wife like this, you have a fancy for someone, even if you get her into the house. Having a mother-in-law at home is good for you, don't you understand? Just give it a try, don't be afraid! ”

Gazi remembered Xu Sanye's words, and said softly: "A person has a person's life, and he can't barely come." Then he left.

Zhu Xi said to his father: "Dad, Gazi is good-looking and honest, no wonder you and the third master like him." ”

"He! It's just too silly. Zhu Wu smacked his lips, "After marrying a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid that he won't be able to play with his wife." ”

Here Gazi took salt and sugar home, and deliberately took a detour to the Qiaotou grocery store to see, Lao Ruan and his family were not at home, only Jin Feng was left sitting on the wine jar to collect the soles of his shoes.

Seeing him come in, Jin Feng glanced at him with a smile, Gazi was a little unnatural, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Jin Feng took the initiative to say, "Brother Gazi, have you also entered the city?" What are you holding? ”

"One pound of salt, two pounds of sugar, the fifth master gave me." Gazi calmed down and said, "I did something for his family. ”

"Is Master Zhu Wu treating people well?" Jin Feng lowered his head and asked.

"Very kind. The young master from Henan is also here, and he may go hunting in the mountains tomorrow. Gazi took a step closer.

Jin Feng asked curiously, "What kind of character is the young master?" Like that Xu Sanye? That's the best-looking man I've ever seen, not to mention the looks, the natural appearance is also first-class handsome, I mean bearing. ”

Gazi smiled: "It's a big officer, I heard that he has done a thousand households, but he likes to play, and he has played thousands of households." ”

Jin Feng said: "Rich people are always like this, they don't take being an official seriously. ”

Gazi said: "It's not because of women. ”

Jin Feng's face turned crimson and protested, "What is because of a woman? How many women have you seen! Women are good and bad, and like you men, you can't generalize. ”

"Uh-huh, I didn't mean you." Gazi suddenly found that Jin Feng's speech has become more and more like a city person recently, probably related to going to school and studying.

Jin Feng said: "You men are really bad, those who are rich are kings, and they should not be counted." ”

At this time, three passers-by came to the pavilion at the head of the bridge, took their burdens off their shoulders, came over to see what they had to eat, bought a bowl of wine, and drank it with dried tofu.

Gazi was rarely alone with Jin Feng, and when he saw that the three of them were not in a hurry, he went to the stream under the bridge to wash his hands and feet, and when he walked up after a while, he saw that the three people were preparing to leave.

One of them, a very young man, was dressed very fashionably, not like an ordinary porter, but seemed to be a small merchant, and when he took out the money, he deliberately exposed the large silver chain in his robe, and said to himself: "There are thousands of silvers, and it is difficult to buy a heart; It is easy to ask for priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover. ”

Jin Feng ignored him, and the young man smiled and left, but after the three of them left, Jin Feng sat on the wine altar with his head down and didn't say a word.

Gazi wanted to continue the unfinished topic, but he couldn't speak, and he thought for a long time before he said: "Jin Feng, I saw a squirrel on the mountain the day before yesterday arching its body, holding its little paws and chewing chestnuts to eat. ”

Jin Feng ignored him, still angry at a few light words from a passing guest. Gazi said: "Do you remember the year when you first came, you went to the orchard to steal fruit, not to run fast, I will break your hand." ”

Jin Feng smiled: "I remember, I don't run, I'm not afraid of you!" ”

Gazi smiled: "You are not afraid of me, and I am not afraid of you." ”

Jin Feng had something else in his eyes, and snorted softly, "Now you're afraid of me." ”

Gazi seemed to understand the hidden meaning of Jin Feng's words, smiled lightly, but replied in his heart that I must not be afraid.

Just as some indescribable feelings were growing little by little, the leper came back from cutting a large load of grass and shouted, "Gazi, didn't you say that you went up the mountain to cut the grass?" I can't find you anywhere. ”

Gazi ignored him and said to Jin Feng that he was about to catch some rabbits, and Xu Sanye would definitely return his gift, and then ask for a phoenix hairpin made of Jinling for you, so I am afraid that I will not have time to go down the mountain these days.

After he left, the leper said, "This fool is very hollow. ”

Jin Feng said: "Don't talk nonsense, he will beat you flat when he gets angry." ”

The leper laughed: "This kind of person will not be angry. Besides, I'm not a tin wine jug, and I can't beat it. (To be continued......)
