I'm a little worried.
Chen Qingshan sighed: "Alright, come back early."
Chen Xian gave Chen Qingshan a few pieces of crispy candy.
Chen Qingshan declined.
Chen Xian: "Take it, give it to the child. If you don't want it, I really won't be able to ask you for help in the future."
First, I borrowed an oxcart from my uncle.
Then he found his cousins, Chen Dashui and Chen Ershui, and secretly told them about his plan.
Chen Dashui was somewhat doubtful, "Is it really possible that family will take action?"
Chen Xian calmly replied, "Perhaps, it's better to be safe than sorry."
He had his back to everyone, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Chen Xian said to Su Wenhao, "Young Master Wenhao, could I ask you for a favor?"
Su Wenhao asked in confusion, "Is something the matter?"
Chen Xian: "Later, could you take me to Chating Village with you? We can go buy some things together."
Su Wenhao nodded.
Su Wenxuan stood behind him, lost in thought.
The uncle first went to the village head, then to his cousin, to borrow a horse. It's just hauling some things, why make it so complicated?
Su Wenxuan nudged his older brother: "Brother, what does Uncle mean by this?"
Su Wenhao hesitated for a moment, "Perhaps it's to guard against the villains in the village."
The uncle's series of reactions should be seen as a follow-up to the Jia family coming to his door to demand compensation.
Perhaps I guessed wrong.
We shouldn't overcomplicate people's thoughts.
Su Wenxuan, from a wealthy family, had never truly witnessed the chaos in the village, nor had he ever seen the beautiful rural customs and traditions.
He said excitedly, "Take me with you, let's go together."
The Chen family split into several groups.
Dazhu and Erzhu drove the oxcart slowly, swaying along.
Chen Xian and the young master of the Su family rode their horses forward.
This is the hour of Wei (1-3 PM).
Looking at the blinding sunlight, Su Wenhao spurred his horse and rode away.
We arrived in a little over half an hour.
Chen Xian found the old woman and explained his purpose.
The old woman was very happy to see Chen Xian.
They insisted that Chen Xian stay for dinner.
Then she handed Chen Xian about ten pounds of the fragrant leaves she had picked.
“Recently, villagers have been coming to collect these things, so it’s become difficult to harvest them. We can only go deeper into the mountains.”
Chen Xian: "How about this, I'll give you four coins per pound for whatever you pick from now on."
The old woman waved her hand, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to sell any of those red berries."
The two declined, but Chen Xian finally offered a price of three coins per catty.
Finally, they returned the money they had spent on the bay leaves last time.
Chen Xian looked slightly apologetic.
"Auntie, we're busy with farm work right now and can't get away from it. I'm really sorry to have troubled you with the money I'm paying you."
The old woman shook her head: "It's no use. You even paid for the grass leaves, it's really no trouble."
After some back and forth, Chen Xian finally gave them the money.
The Su brothers were curious.
You traveled all this way just for such a small package?
Chen Xian carried his bundle, and the group rode away on horseback.
I looked at the sky.
The third quarter of the hour of You (5-7 PM).
Erzhuzi led the ox to a spot a little distance from the village entrance, where he fed it grass and gave it water.
Dazhu asked in confusion, "Why does Father want us to walk slowly and not in a hurry?"
Erzhu thought for a while, "Perhaps it's because of the Jia family's precautions. Didn't you see when Jia Bang stole the grain? The two of them lowered their heads, and no one knew what their expressions were?"
"It was Father's suggestion to establish the rules for the Night's Watch. If you were in his shoes, and you could have stolen the grain, wouldn't you be furious?"
Dazhu shook his head firmly, "No!"
Why?
"I don't steal."
