Chapter 43 Farmer’s Wife
“I only passed by here, and I just wanted to see you.”
Liu Fang stared at him lightly, making his scalp tingle, “I actually think, the farther you are from me, the better. What do you think?”
Seventh Master smiled, “Young lady has insight. It’s fate that my fiancée was rescued by you, so I can only came to thank you. Don’t need to worry. Now, I can still conceal my whereabouts.”
Liu Fang replied indifferently: “Since we have already met, Sevent Master can leave. Now this little girl’s family is poor, and I can’t afford to invite Seventh Master to a meal.”
Seventh Master smiled, he know when to stop, stop at the right time. Today, Liu Fang didn’t slap him to death, it was already giving a face to him, so he wisely led people away.
Liu Fang stood in front of the door, frowning, and said to Qiu Yun: “So, your master is the Seventh Princess consort?”
Qiu Yun: “Miss, my current master is you. That right, that person is indeed engaged to the Seventh Prince and will get married next year!”
Liu Fang: …very good. Even being involved in the royal battle for the throne, she was also a talent!
She turned her head and looked at Qiu Yun, “Do you know where I can find orphans?”
Qiu Yun nodded, “This subordinate know.”
“Then find twenty, and I will teach them myself.”
“Yes!”
Qiu Yu who was listening from the side was confused, but she still stood obediently and waited for Liu Fang to walk in before she followed.
And Qiu Yun went to do what Liu Fang told her.
…
Seventh Master and his party rode out of the village on horseback. On the way, the magistrate of Linshan County was hesitant to speak.
Seventh Master looked at him, smiled, and said, “What? Zifei was scared today?”
Yang Zifei frowned and said, “That Liu Siniang is too rude.”
Seventh Master quickly stopped him and said, “Don’t cause trouble for me! She has given me face, you don’t understand. Don’t make that great aunt unhappy. Otherwise, I can’t save you.”
[姑奶奶 (gu nai nai) literally means the great aunt, sister of one’s paternal grandfather. It means someone you shouldn’t offend. Sometimes it was used as a slang word which means troublemaker]
Yang Zifei frowned and said: “Could she be a distinguished person?”
Seventh Master smiled, “Not really. It’s simply because she is a great master!”
Yang Zifei was stunned, but frowned and said, “Such a young great master? Master, you have tested it, it can’t be fake tight?”
Seventh Master sneered, “I don’t need to test it out. Elder Brother has done it for me. If it wasn’t for her, I would have gone to see Buddha a long time ago.”
Yang Zifei was silent. After a while, he said, “So, the assassination was real? Master was saved because of Miss Liu?”
Seventh Master sighed, “Yes! Later, it was because of her that Miss Yun was able to return to the capital safely. Speaking of which, We owe this Liu Siniang a lot of lives.”
Yang Zifei nodded, understanding what he meant.
Although the Seventh Prince has tried his best to keep a low profile. At this time, the fight for the heir apparent has become fierce, and there was no way to hide. That’s why it has attracted so much attention.
But fortunately, they have been planning for many years, and now they have a foundation, and they will not be defeated so easily.
“Then, should this subordinate look after them from now on?”
Seventh master nodded, “That’s what I mean by bringing you here today. In the future, you have to remember that as long as there is no rebellion in this Qingshan Village, no matter what you do, you have to support, especially the Liu family, that must be taken care of. Don’t make that great aunt unhappy. If not, the world will really be in chaos!” If a great master wants to make trouble, it will be terrible!
Yang Zifei nodded in understanding and complied.
Anyway, from now on, he just needs to take good care of the Liu family.
And it was because of the seventh master’s visit that the Guo family was in bad luck.
As soon as Yang Zifei arrived home, he immediately sent someone to inquire about Liu Fang’s family in Qingshan Village.
Knowing that Guo Siniang dared to disrespect Liu Fang behind her back, he immediately sent a yamen servant to escort a newly appointed Li Zheng to Qingshan Village and dismissed Guo’s father as the Li Zheng.
For this, Father Guo was really pissed off. He didn’t know the reason at first, but after he inquired. It turned out that it was because of his daughter’s good deeds that implicated him. Father Guo almost beat Guo Siniang to death!
From then on, Guo Siniang hid when she saw Liu Fang, let alone bad-mouthing her behind her back, she didn’t dare at all.
However, Liu Fang became more worried and uneasy watching these things happen.
After Qiu Yun brought back twenty orphans, she immediately took Qiu Yun, Qiao Zheng, Qiu Yu, and the children of the family and these orphans into the deep mountains, and did not return home until Chinese New Year.
The reason why this village was called Qingshan Village was that it is surrounded by mountains and connected to a large mountain range.
Why did Liu Fang bring people into the mountain? To practice martial arts!
She wanted to quickly train this group of people so that they could all reach a certain level of combat effectiveness. As for Qiu Yu, she was here to do housework for them and cook for them.
This time, Liu Fang’s ruthless training allowed these children to have a certain amount of force, so she was really relieved.
As for Qiao Zheng, who was almost tortured to death by Liu Fang, his whole mental outlook has changed: he looks fiercer and stronger!
Seeing him will make people even more frightened!
In this way, the Liu family had a very different New Year’s Eve: there were no crowds of servants and banquets, but the whole family happily sat together to eat, and the atmosphere was more joyful.
And from today onwards, Qiu Yu, Liang momo and the others were no longer slaves, but civilians.
Everyone was happy for them.
But Qiu Yu asked: “Then can I continue to serve the young lady? I’m used to it.”
Everyone laughed, Liang momo tapped her forehead angrily and said: “Of course. This is the Grace given to us by Madam, it’s not we’re being kicked out.”
Qiu Yu patted her chest and said, “That’s good, that’s good. It’s good that I can continue to serve young lady!”
After she finished speaking, she smiled happily and walked quickly to Liu Fang and stood beside her, staring at her with a smile.
Liu Fang: … ╮(︶﹏︶)╭
In this way, the Liu family spent the new year happily and ushered in a brand new life.
……
Everything came back to life in the early spring, and people in Qingshan Village begin to prepare for the new year’s farming.
The growing seed already exists in this era. While Liu Fang was curious, she also worked in the field together. After all, she has martial arts, and one person can offset several people.
Anyway, she was idle now, and those far-reaching guesses were still guesses. There was really no need for her to worry too much about an uncertain future and make her life heavy and boring.
Now, she should follow Qiu Yu and the others to learn how to be a peasant girl.
Going to the field was definitely painful for ordinary people, but for a martial arts practitioner like Liu Fang, it was a piece of cake.
The Liu family has terraced fields that have just been reclaimed, and they bought some decent farmland not long after the New Year and rented it out.
They hired people to help with the terraced fields at home, but Liu Fang and the others were willing to try it themselves, Father Liu treated it as letting the children play around and let them go.
Although Qiu Yu practiced martial arts with Liu Fang, firstly, she was already very old, and secondly, her natural talents were also average. Therefore, except for her strength becoming stronger, there was no major change.
Qiu Yun and Qiao Zheng were different.
Both of them were people with internal skills. Although they were not as profound as Liu Fang, there was no difference when it comes to farming.
Swing the hoe was also very easy, and the speed was extremely fast.
Qiao Zheng really liked farming, and he plowed half of the terraced fields by himself.
Both Liu Fang and Qiu Yun were ashamed: They actually thought it was interesting, so they came to join in the fun. When encountered a serious person like Qiao Zheng, they really felt very guilty.
Spring plowing was busy and hard work, but when the crops were planted and the green seedlings were seen on large farmland, people can’t help but smile from the bottom of their hearts.
Qiu Yun looked at the blue sky, then at the smile on Liu Fang’s face, and felt that life was really good now.
“Miss! Let’s go home for dinner!”
Qiu Yu shouted, Liu Fang smiled and agreed loudly, “Hey! Got it!”
This kind of carefree shout, this kind of ordinary conversation, it was really good!
Qiu Yun picked up the farming tools and followed Liu Fang up, saying as she walked, “Miss, do you plan to keep those children forever?”
She was talking about the twenty orphans who were specially recruited.
Liu Fang nodded, “Well, since we have already found them, let’s do it like this first. Let’s talk about it after the matter has a result. I hope I am worrying unnecessarily!”
Since ancient times, seizing power has been a melee, and many innocent people have been implicated.
Liu Fang really didn’t dare to bet on that.
While there was still time, she hastened to train a group of people, even if they can’t protect the whole village, at least they can protect the safety of the Liu family.
This was Liu Fang’s plan for a rainy day, it’s just a guess in her heart, and she can’t be sure.
It’s best to be fine, and if something happens, she has a way to deal with it.
Liu Fang had lunch, washed and changed, and went to town with Qiu Yu and Qiu Yun.
Liu Sheng, the seventh master of the Liu family, opened a bookstore in the town, and the business was good, at least with a slight surplus in the balance. For Liu Sheng and his wife, this was enough.
Liu Fang now has a leisurely life, so she would occasionally come over to take a look.
She was not in a hurry, so she walked slowly with Qiu Yu and Qiu Yun.
Han Dong happened to be driving the ox cart to send his grandfather to the town pharmacy for a follow-up check-up. When he met Liu Fang, he stopped the ox cart and said to Liu Fang, “Are you the young lady from the Liu family? I’m Han Dong, and I live in the east of the village.”
Liu Fang knew about Han Dong, so she smiled when she heard him say, “Oh, it’s Brother Han.”
“Are you going to the town? Just right, I’m going to send Grandpa to the town too. If you don’t mind, I’ll give you a ride.”
Liu Fang looked at Grandpa Han sitting on the bullock cart, smiled at the old man, saluted respectfully, and said, “Thank you, Brother Han. It’s just that there’s no need, I’m not in a hurry, the spring sun is just right, and it’s good to take a slow walk.”
Although Han Dong didn’t quite understand what she meant, he still knew that Liu Fang rejected him, and he felt a little disappointed, but he didn’t forcefully pester her. He nodded and said, “That’s it, then I’ll go first. See you later.”
“Brother Han, go slowly.”
Liu Fang watched Han Dong drive the carriage away, and continued to walk with Qiu Yu and Qiu Yun.
Qiu Yu didn’t understand, “Miss, why did you salute the grandfather of the Han family?”
Liu Fang smiled and said, “Respect the old and love the young. If the old man didn’t lift the curtain, it would be fine. Now that we have seen him, A salute is not a big deal.”
