Chapter 86 Help each other

Xiao Jiading also heard it. This song actually expressed his admiration and wanted to be good with the other party. He also knew that the love of the folk song was just a saying, and it was not really meaningful to him. He heard that he had to sing it himself, so he stammered: "I don't know this."

Luxiang was pleased and said, "I heard that Xiao Family Ding made friends with poetry. Even the number one talented man in Yizhou was defeated, and he could still make poetry in seven steps. Yizhou City has been spread all over. Can the folk songs still stump Xiao Zhiyi?"

Xie Cunmasa also said: "Yes, this song was sung by Miss Yunyan for you. You have to go back by yourself. You can't help with the tender bamboo."

Nenzhu also said, "Yes, Mr. Xiao, my sister asks you if you have any affection for her, and you will be able to respond whatever you want."

When Xiao Jiading heard this, he felt aroused his heart and remembered the famous "Bamboo Branch Ci" by the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi. Without thinking much, he started singing:

Willows are green and green rivers,

Wen Mei sings on the river.

The sun rises in the east and the rains in the west,

The truth is that there is no sunshine and there is sunshine.

He just changed the character "Lang" into the character "Mei". This Zhuzhi lyric was originally a folk song from Shu. It was written by Liu Yuxi when he was a governor in Shu. It was no obvious difference from a mountain song and it was easy to understand. The tune of the mountain song is basically fixed and relatively simple. Xiao Jiading had heard it just now. Although he sang it in some yellow tunes, he still sang it under the help of the tender bamboo. Especially the last sentence that has been passed down through the ages, "There is no sunshine and sunshine", which is a homophonic pun, just perfectly responds to the love that the other party throws.

So, there were cheers in the audience. Yun Yan could not have imagined that Xiao Jiading would sing such a wonderful mountain song, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and even forgot to sing. The young bamboo immediately smiled and brought a big bowl of wine over and said, "Hehe, sister, you can't answer it anymore! Drink!"

Yun Yan simply took it and drank it.

Nengzhu said again: "Did you hear it? Mr. Xiao said, "Mr. Xiao has no affection for you, but he is affectionate! Hehehehehe!"

Yun Yan blushed suddenly, and ignored anything else, and chased Nuanzhu: "You damn girl!" Nuanzhu ran with a smile. These village girls were young and ignorant, and they drank again, especially Xiao Jiading was amiable. They also sang folk songs with them, so they abandoned their previous fear and shyness and started to fight in front of Xiao Jiading.

Xie Cun was busy shouting loudly, but Xiao Jiading laughed and waved his hand and said no.

Seeing that Xiao Jiading was so kind, Yun Yan got up boldly and came over to hold Xiao Jiading's hand and said, "Come on! Let's get up and dance!"

Dancing? Xiao Jiading was stunned for a moment. Three or four steps? He felt that something was wrong. Where did these modern dances come from in ancient times? So he got up and followed him. The young bamboo held his other hand, and the other girls also pulled their hands and formed a circle and started singing and dancing. Xiao Jiading immediately understood that this was similar to the modern bonfire dance, with a relatively fixed dance move. He could learn it soon.

Xiao Jiading was very novel and danced and played with these beautiful and charming girls. He kept dancing until late at night and the banquet ended.

Lu Xiangzheng whispered to Xiao Jiading: "Xiao Zhiyi, Xie Cunzheng said, "Can Yun Yan and Nean Zhu serve you tonight? They are both yellow flowers' daughters!"

Xiao Jiading immediately knew that Xie Village was just like the one in Huangyan Village at that time. He must have made a lot of money to buy his youth with the girls' families. He quickly shook his head and said, "No need!" He saw the two girls with a pretty blushing face looking forward to looking at him, thinking that both girls were pretty good. But he was just the one who was calling him, and said, "I am building a house and there are still some nanny who can do housework. If they are willing, they can come to my place to do things."

"nanny……?"

This word is too modern. Lu Xiangzheng and the others naturally don’t know it.

Xiao Jiading was also drunk and blurted out, then slapped his forehead and said, "It's just to help me take care of the house, but it's not a maid. They come and go freely and are willing to work in my place. The monthly payment is 1,000 yuan a month, including food and accommodation. Work is to clean, wash, cook, etc., just take care of me! But it's not the kind of care! Just take care of my life..."

Xiao Jiading said this because he was confident. Although he didn't have much money now, the shops on the street were being repaired and peppers were ready to be planted immediately. In addition, the money earned by selling materials on both sides of the Jinjiang Flood Control Dike and Huangpo, these three were all great wealth. Although the first two were still not profitable at once, the latter one, once April came, the project started and would be able to make money immediately! The houseyard was planned and could not be completed in June, so he was not worried about not having money to pay the salary of the two nannies. Xiao Jiading consciously offered the conditions was attractive. You must know that the Tang Dynasty county clerk at that time only had six or seven hundred documents a month. How could these villagers have so much money in the mountain village? They can't make a profit in a year.

Luxiang Zheng and Xie Cunzheng had not yet figured out what Xiao Jiading said about the nanny. After listening to Xiao Jiading's explanation for a long time, they understood what it meant.

Xie Cunzheng hurriedly said, "So Zhiyi is short of maids, that's easy to deal with. I'll give them to Zhiyi."

Xiao Jiading was slightly stunned: "You gave me? Are they..."

"They are the little girl's guest girls." Xie Cunzheng smiled apologized.

After hearing what she said, Xiao Jiading immediately understood. The Tang Dynasty's untouchables were divided into two types. The lowest one was slaves, which was between good people and slaves, called a troupe. From a legal perspective: "The troupe is privately owned." In other words, overall, like slaves, they are the owner's private property. However, they have more freedom and higher status than slaves. They can have their own private property, mainly farming fields for the owner. The owner can transfer all his own troupe to other people, or they can make it a good one. This requires the owner of the family to issue a written contract and report it to the yamen for filing.

The so-called guest girl is the daughter of the tribe. In other words, the girls of the tribe, Yun Yan, are actually the daughters of the tribe owned by the master Xie Cun Zheng family, so of course he has the right to dispose of the tribe.

Xiao Jiading slapped his forehead and said, "So that's it."

Xie Cunzheng immediately said, "Mingren, the villain will send their contracts with them to Zhiyi's mansion. Do you think it's okay?"

Xiao Jiading shook his head and said, "I don't want so much for the time being."

"Then let Yun Yan and Nean Zhu come and serve you for the time being?"

Xiao Jiading thought about it and found that there was no one cleaning the place he lived now, so it was time to find a nanny. Then he said, "Okay, how much does it cost?"

"No, no! Don't have money, hold your clothes, and the villain can respect you, that is a blessing for the villain."

"If you don't have money, I don't want it!"

Xiao Jiading turned around and was about to go out. Xie Cun was rushing forward and laughing apologized: "Okay, since Zhiyi wants to pay, then, then it's up to two jin per person, okay? - The market price is this price, I dare not deceive Zhiyi. Zhiyi can ask you tomorrow, if I say it's low, I'm a bastard!"

If a person next to him was unhappy, he would definitely be inexplicable. - People were afraid that the buyer would think the offer was high, so they swear that Xie Cunzheng was afraid that Xiao Jiading would think the offer was low. Because he had previously bought stone mountains and deserted slopes, he knew that Xiao Jiading didn't want to be greedy for their cheapness. If he deliberately said less, he knew that he would be afraid that there would be troubles, which would be bad. So he emphasized that he was telling the truth.

Lu Xiangzheng, who was standing beside him, also said that he did not tell any lies.

Two stagnant money is equivalent to RMB 10,000, and it is appropriate to buy two maids at this price. Xiao Jiading nodded: "Okay! I'll send them here tomorrow, I'll give you money."

"Okay!" Xie Cunzheng agreed quickly and looked at Lu Xiangzheng.

Luxiang was immediately understanding and said to Xiao Jiading: "There is another small thing, discuss it with Zhiyi."

Of course, Xiao Jiading knew that they would not do this for no reason, and looked at him without saying anything.

Luxiang was right at the same time and said to Yun Yan and the others: "You go down first!"

The girls hurried out of the cabin door, and Lu Shuli went out. Xie Cunzheng also walked to the cabin door and stood.

Lu Xiangzheng lowered his voice and smiled carefully and said to Xiao Jiading: "Liu Xiangzheng of Wutai Township was arrested for committing the crime, so there was no more than the Xiangzheng. Xie Village is a righteous person and has been a village chief for many years. He wants to be the one. Knowing that you are a celebrity in front of the magistrate Kang County, can you help me say something? He is quite sensible. He has already prepared a box of copper coins underneath, and I will put it in the carriage later. I will buy the money for two guests and deduct it from it. Do you think it is okay?"

Xiao Jiading reached out and patted his shoulder, waved to Xie Cunzheng at the door, and whispered: "I hope you both remember what I said!"

The two nodded quickly.

Xiao Jiading said: "First, don't give me money, no matter in the past, now, or in the future! Do you understand?"

The two of them didn't know what Xiao Jiading meant, so they looked at each other in panic, not knowing whether to nod or shake their heads.

Xiao Jiading looked at Xie Cunzheng and continued, "Second, I can tell you about this matter, but I am just a silly man and don't keep my word, so I can't guarantee whether it's OK..."

"We know this..." Xie Cunzheng said hurriedly.

Xiao Jiading patted his shoulder hard with alcohol and shouted: "Shut up! Don't interrupt when I speak!"

Xie Cunzheng nodded quickly and did not dare to say another word.

Xiao Jiading said, "It's good! I'll tell you about this. You can buy me the stone mountains and barren slopes on both sides of the Jinjiang River in your area. - Stone mountains, barren slopes are not yours. What you say may not count. This makes anyone the village official? I don't count. It's up to the magistrate of Kang County to say. So, our two things are not positions, we can only help each other. The plan is for people and the success is for heaven! As for the money of the two girls, it must be given! - Agree, just do it like this, if you don't agree, just act like I didn't say anything tonight!! I haven't come!"
