Traveling through the world

The gate of Zhangjia Kiln.

Qian Yu was panting while holding on to the wall. There was a big jar in the basket behind her. The jar was filled with clear mud, weighing more than 20 kilograms. Her shoulders were sore from the pressure, and the sweat dripped down her head. , rested for a while before entering the kiln with Chengni on his back.

"Qian Yu is back?" Master Yu was instructing his disciples to crush and grind porcelain stones, when he saw Qian Yu, he stepped forward and said, "There is a well over there, go wash your face first."

Qian Yu nodded slightly, and was stopped by Guard Ding before he could wipe off the sweat.

"Qian Yu, the eldest lady wants you to learn boxing kung fu from me." Ding guard said and threw two sandbags, "Put the sandbags on your legs and follow me."

Qian Yu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he came back to his senses and stood still and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to learn."

"This is what the young lady ordered." Ding Weiwei stood aside pointing at the wooden stick and frowned slightly. No one would not listen to the young lady's words.

"I'm here to learn how to make ceramics, not to learn boxing kung fu." Qian Yu also frowned, she was not made for learning boxing kung fu at all, learning this was a waste of energy and time.

When Ding Huwei heard this, he felt that Qian Yu was arrogant and rude. If the eldest lady hadn't ordered him to come down, he would not have been willing to teach him.Seeing that Guard Ding stopped talking, Qian Yu also stood aside without opening his mouth, and the two of them were at a stalemate for a while.

"Qian, Mr. Qian, Miss is calling you." A Yuan trotted forward, but changed his words considering that he was his future son-in-law in front of him.

"A Yuan, he is just a kiln worker, what kind of son is he!" Ding Weiwei was slightly displeased.

"What do you know?" A Yuan stepped aside after speaking, "Please, Mr. Qian."

Qian Yu felt strange when she heard this, although it is a good thing to be valued by others, but she knows herself, she is just an apprentice in front of her, why is this first-class servant girl being so polite to her?Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still ordered to go to the study.

"Miss, Mr. Qian is here." A Yuan entered the study and stood aside.

"I've met the eldest lady." Qian Yu stood outside the curtain and gave a salute.

"En." Zhang Ningshan sat up slowly from the couch when she heard the sound, and took a short rest at noon, her voice was not as cold as in the morning, "Why did you argue with Ding Weiwei just now?"

"Back to Miss, there is no quarrel." Qian Yu took a deep breath and continued: "Qian Yu knows that he is not expected to learn martial arts."

"You have to learn after entering the kiln." Zhang Ningshan frowned slightly.

Ah Yue stood behind her own lady and looked at Qian Yu outside the curtain, somewhat gloating about her misfortune, her own lady always ordered others, without any explanation, and she would not explain it, this future uncle will slowly get used to it.

"To be a kiln worker, you must not only be able to collect soil, make porcelain, paint, and burn porcelain, but also have a strong body. Let alone moving a full box of porcelain requires physical strength, let alone going out for business after a long journey. With your strong body, you collapsed halfway, do you think you can ride a carriage like me?" Zhang Ningshan said unhurriedly, playing with the teacup in her hand.

Ah Hua, Ah Yue, and Ah Yuan all looked at their young lady in surprise when they heard the words. My young lady was explaining, God, as expected, the treatment of maids and husbands is different. After all, it is treated differently.

Qian Yu was very surprised when she heard this. She only wanted to learn the craft quietly, but she didn't realize that she couldn't take a carriage when traveling far away. How could she, who is used to taking a bus, walk so far on foot?

"Go out when you understand, Ding Huwei will teach you well." Seeing Qian Yu's silence, Zhang Ningshan started to chase him away.

"Yes, miss." After Qian Yu finished speaking, he backed out silently.

Seeing Qian Yu coming out dejectedly, Ding Huwei snorted softly, "Tie on a sandbag and follow me."

"Yes." Qian Yu squatted down and tied the sandbags. This era is cruel to apprentices, but the only thing she can change in the general environment is herself. Besides, there is no harm in learning some kung fu for self-defense.

The sun is slanting to the west, at the gate of Qinghe gambling house in the county.

"You want to renege on the money after losing the money? Come on, chop off his hand for me. He dared to make trouble in my Qinghe gambling house. He has the courage of ambition." At the gate of Qinghe gambling house, a [-]-foot man rolled up his sleeves. He glared angrily at Zhang Ze who was thrown to the ground.

"Don't, don't." Zhang Ze moved back again and again in fright, and Qian Hao was nowhere to be seen when he looked around, "Xiaosheng is not reckless, let me write a written receipt and return it later."

"Receipt? Haha, when have you ever heard that a gambling house has received a receipt? Either, return it now, or chop off a hand." After the big man finished speaking, he ordered the young man to take the big knife. The blade was shining brightly in the sun.

When Zhang Ze saw this battle, his mouth turned white with fright. Seeing that the big man raised his knife, he quickly closed his eyes and shouted: "I will pay it back, I will pay it back."

"Oh? How do you pay it back?" The big man put down the knife, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and sat on the steps in front of the gambling house.

"I, I'm a young man from Zhang Yuan's family in Liuyin Village. You come home with me, and my father will return it to you." Zhang Ze lay on the ground panting, cold sweat profusely on his forehead.

Hearing this, the big man signaled the boy to take the knife back, put down his sleeves and knelt down beside Zhang Ze and said, "Young Master Zhang, I offended you. If you said it earlier, you won't have to suffer this crime." The young master of the Zhang family is pulling a carriage."

Zhang Ze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, it's good to go home, at least he doesn't have to eat wild vegetables anymore, Zhang Ze touched his flat stomach, suddenly remembered the stewed chicken made by the cook at home, and clicked twice in his mouth.Then her eyes darkened, and she left by herself, what should Yulan do?

At sunset, Qian Yu supported the trees in the forest profusely with sweat, and looked coldly at Ding Huwei, who was working hard there, feeling helpless in his heart. There must be a limit to this exercise, and it would be harmful if it exceeded the physical load. Useless.

"Guard Ding, I'm going down the mountain, you practice slowly." Qian Yu bent down to untie the sandbag, walked a few steps while supporting the tree, and suddenly felt very relaxed.

"Qian Yu, it's not dark yet!" Seeing this, Ding Huwei hurried forward, "Xi Wugui is persistent, you..."

"Guard Ding, have you seen the big rock behind the tree? If you can lift the stone a little off the ground, I will continue to practice." Qian Yu only felt that it would not work to talk about step by step with Guard Ding.

"Are you kidding me? How is this possible?" Ding Huwei looked at Qian Yu in astonishment. The boulder was so big that he couldn't even hug it, let alone lift it up!

Qian Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the sun that was about to set, and said concisely: "If I can lift the stone a little off the ground, from now on, when, how, and how long I exercise every day will be up to me. After all, how about it?"

Hearing this, Ding Huwei turned his head and walked towards the boulder. He tried it himself, but he couldn't let the stone leave the ground at all. He patted the soil on his hand and said, "Deal, you come."

Qian Yuyi listened and found a square stone nearby, moved to the big rock not far away, walked up to Guard Ding and said, "Guard Ding, I will lend you a stick."

Guard Ding stood aside, watching Qian Yu insert his stick under the boulder, and press it hard against the square stone.After a while, his eyes widened. One side of the boulder really left the ground?

"Guard Ding, keep your word." Qian Yu patted the dust on his body, ignoring Guard Ding who was walking down the mountain with a sandbag in a daze. It seems that you can't behave well when dealing with the ancients. Archimedes The principle of leverage is the crystallization of wisdom!

When Qian Yu returned to the kiln, there was no one there, and the kiln workers had already packed their things and went home.Qian Yu took off his hat, washed his face by the well, and took a small bag of pork from the shade.The workload of the kiln is heavy, and every three days, the kitchen will cook a meal of pork, which is a treatment that other kilns do not have.She happened to catch up with her today. At home, there were wild vegetables for several days, and Qian's mother became thinner and thinner. When Qian Yu thought of this, he felt uncomfortable. After all, he was already a mother. It's really unfilial to be hungry. Thinking about it this way, this bag of pork was saved.

"Eh? Why are you here?" Qian Yu came out of the kiln and saw Su Yulan under the tree.

Hearing this, Su Yulan walked forward, pinching the corner of her washed white clothes, and said, "I just came out of the rice shop, and when I walked down the mountain, I saw my benefactor, so I came here to wait for my benefactor to go back together." In Su Yulan's perception Here, Qian Yu is a benefactor, no matter how embarrassing she is, she can't be treated as a stranger. After all, she has guilt in her heart, how can she repay the debt if she is too embarrassing?

"Oh, then, then let's go." Qian Yu blushed unconsciously, although he made up his mind that there was no relationship anymore, but hearing these soft words, he still felt his cheeks burn.

"Gulu..." Qian Yu cried out in disappointment as she walked. Today is the day she has had the most labor since time travel, and she only ate one steamed bun at noon, and now she is so hungry.

Hearing the sound, Su Yulan turned her head to look at Qian Yu, took out a shortbread wrapped in oil paper from her bosom, handed it to Qian Yu and said, "Eunuch, eat it! I just made it this afternoon."

"Thank you, thank you." Qian Yu looked at Su Yulan in the setting sun, and took it over in an awkward manner. She knew that she couldn't continue to be tempted, but this damn heart was out of control.It stands to reason that the female stars in TV dramas are much more beautiful, and she has seen many beautiful women.Miss Su's appearance is not alluring, and the moon is ashamed, but why does that light smile make her heart thump, thump, thump?

"Cough cough." Qian Yu ate a little anxiously, choked in his throat, and blushed from holding back.

Su Yulan quickly took off the bamboo tube from her waist, handed it to Qian Yu and said, "Hurry up and give me some water."

Under the setting sun, beside an ancient tree, Qian Yu held shortbread in one hand and a bamboo tube in the other, staring blankly at Su Yulan, and sighed for a long time: "Miss Su, do you miss home?"

Su Yulan was taken aback when she heard the words, and she chirped in her heart, can she not think about it?Even though her parents didn't treat her as well as her elder brothers and younger brothers, it was still her home anyway.

"I miss home." Qian Yu said lightly while looking at the empty valley below the mountain, then he was taken aback for a moment, turned his head and smiled and said, "I miss home, let's go back quickly, mother should be in a hurry."

On a summer night, with the moon hanging high in the sky, every house has closed its doors, except the door of Qian's house is half closed.

Su Yulan sat alone in the courtyard, staring straight at the door with her beautiful eyes.At night, with a cool wind, it slowly blew across her cheeks, and her hair fluttered back with the wind.Under the moonlight, the thin figure looked even more desolate.

Qian Yu kept pacing the room, she wasn't worried about Zhang Xiucai, after all, no matter how bookish a man is, he wouldn't forget his way back.On the contrary, the girl outside the house has been sitting in the yard for almost three hours, and the night wind is gradually getting colder, so staying any longer will not do her health any good.

Su Yulan stared at the half-closed door. Although she didn't know where Xiucai had gone, she firmly believed that Xiucai would not leave her alone and leave alone. After knowing each other for so long, it is natural for her to understand things better.Thinking of this, Su Yulan frowned slightly. She and Xiucai have known each other since they were young. Xiucai asked Afang to bring a letter the second year after she passed. At that time, Afang and a group of close sisters urged her to respond quickly. A scholar who is literate and honest, she also felt that there was nothing wrong with it, but she always felt that private life should not be something a daughter should do, so she didn't agree.Later, Chunya next door and the small blacksmith in the East Village came and went more and more frequently, and Sister Afang whispered in her ear that Zhang Ze was good and that good, and she nodded in the next spring.I have been in love for more than a year, and during this period, I have been indifferent. When I see her, I will say a few more words. If I don’t see her, I won’t want to see Zhang Ze like Sister Afang wants to see her brother. She is not as eager as Sister Afang. She is looking forward to it, but she doesn't dislike Zhang Ze either. Compared with the annoying Wang Bingqiang in the village, she is still willing to be with Zhang Ze. It's not bad to be together quietly.Later, Zhang Ze pulled her to elope, disobeying his father and breaking off contact with her, because she was willing to abandon a comfortable life. That boldness and resolute demeanor aroused hope in the helpless her at that time. She has a different feeling towards Zhang Ze. Although she eats and sleeps in the open, her heart is still warm. She firmly believes that she will have a warm home with Xiucai.Thinking of that moment, Su Yulan's eyes flickered. At that time, her father forced her to marry a stranger. She was so helpless, so scared, so panicked. Zhang Ze was the only one who could save her. The "regret" that came out sank again.She is just an ordinary woman, and she can't guess the character of the husband-in-law her father chose for her. Even if her father forces her to marry a stranger again, she will run away. Even if Zhang Ze is not around, she will run away. .

"Boom, boom, boom!" Three bells rang from a temple not far away.

Su Yulan rubbed her hands and stood up, put the stool aside, and walked softly to the door.She was going to look for Zhang Ze, maybe her feet were bad and she couldn't come back, or maybe she was sleeping in a ruined temple late at night.

Seeing this, Qian Yu in the room quickly opened the door and chased after him, stopped Su Yulan and said, "It's so late, what are you doing?"

"Xiu, the scholar hasn't come back so far. I think, go find it." Su Yulan lowered her head when she heard the sound, and didn't dare to look at Qian Yu. The more Qian Yu worried about her, the more ashamed she felt.Especially when Zhang Ze was mentioned in front of Qian Yu, she felt that she was the kind of woman who betrayed her husband and stole a man. This feeling made her even have a heart to die.She knew that the person in front of her was her husband, and she should abide by the morals and duties of a woman like other women, but since the day she and Xiucai ran away, she decided to stay with him throughout life and death.Leaving home means abandoning everything, and now she is only a scholar.Those who are destined to owe money to Qian Yu in this life, only hope that they will have the opportunity to repay one or two in this life.

Qian Yu pursed his lips, and sighed helplessly for a long time, "I'll accompany you." Qian Yu admitted that when he met Miss Su, his previous principles were disrupted.She once told her best friend who was falling out of love, don't waste time with yourself and others in the name of love, people who entangle are often the most disgusting.But now, although she didn't want to get entangled, she was also worried that the girl in front of her would go out alone in the middle of the night. Isn't this reason in the name of "love"?Qian Yu smiled wryly, once his heart is moved, everything is beyond his control!

Su Yulan raised her head in shock, moved her mouth, turned her back and raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to flow.The Qian family's mother and son are innocent and kind people, she really can't accept their favor with peace of mind, not to mention, they don't even know she is Su Yulan, how can she bear such kindness?

"Engong, you've been tired all day, I'll just go find it myself." Su Yulan opened the door and went out after saying that.

Seeing this, Qian Yu also followed out and said, "Let's look for it together, it's late at night, it's not safe." After saying that, he moved his legs.

Under the night, two figures, one in front and one behind, searched along the path.

"There is a pit here, be careful." Qian Yu turned around and looked at Su Yulan behind him, and asked after a while, "If, what if I can't find a scholar?" Qian Yu was a little scared, afraid that Su Yulan would do something stupid , now Su Yulan has no vitality in her body, she has to worry.

Su Yulan trembled slightly when she heard the words, and stared silently at the dark mountain in the distance.

Gradually, the sky turned white.

"Let's go back first, the scholar may have already gone back." Qian Yu looked at the pale Su Yulan with sleepiness, she faintly felt that the scholar might have left, but she didn't feel the slightest joy in her heart, although she liked Miss Su, but I still don't want to see the scene of an infatuated woman betraying her heart. No matter what era it is for a woman, such a situation is heartbreaking.

Su Yulan was stunned under the tree for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Seeing this, Qian Yu sighed slightly, and looked around unwillingly. She hoped that the scholar would come back, and she didn't want to see the disappointment, distress, and helplessness in the eyes of the girl in front of her.In the afternoon, Ms. Su still had hope in her eyes, but now it was like a pool of stagnant water.

When Su Yulan returned to Qian's house, she didn't see the scholar. After a moment of surprise, she started cooking as usual, cleaning the wild vegetables carefully, as if nothing happened.

Qian Yu looked at Su Yulan's eyes, and there was a hint of resentment hidden under the disappointment in her eyes, knowing that Miss Su would not seek death, so she ate breakfast hastily, got up and left for the county.

The kiln went to work early, unlike the rice shop, and Qian Yu went out an hour earlier than usual.

After Su Yulan washed the dishes, she began to clean the house.Mother Qian looked at the thin figure and became suspicious. At the beginning, it was my cousin who was going to send my cousin home, but now my cousin left by himself. This is very strange!

"Miss Liu, take a break."

"Ma'am, I'm not tired." Su Yulan forced a smile, although she didn't believe that the scholar left just like that, but after a day and a night, her heart gradually sank to the bottom.She is a bit resentful, since she couldn't go to the end with her, why did she want to go with him so confidently at the beginning, no matter how hard or tired she is, why, after giving her hope, she cruelly pushed her into the point of no return ?

Mother Qian looked at the busy girl, sighed slightly, got up and walked out.

Su Yulan tidied up the house, tidied herself a little, closed the door and prepared to go to work.After cooking at the rice shop, she hurried to Liuyin Village. She was very familiar with this road, and now walking on this road leading to her home, she only felt the prickly pain in her heart.

The Su family's house was burning with cooking smoke, Su Yulan walked around behind, and through the window, she saw Sister Afang busy in front of the stove, pursing her lips slightly, Su Yulan bent down to pick up a small stone and threw it in.

"Oh, who, that bastard is teasing my old lady?" Sister Afang turned around angrily, and saw Su Yulan, the wooden shovel in her hand fell to the ground, "Yulan?" Afang was stunned for a while, took off her apron and ran out.

"Yulan!" Ah Fang hugged Su Yulan tightly, "Yulan, are you okay?"

"En." Su Yulan responded softly, and she shed tears before explaining her intentions, lying on A Fang's shoulder and began to cry.

"Yulan, Yulan." Ah Fang patted my sister-in-law on the back, "It's all my sister-in-law's fault, sister-in-law, hey, I didn't see Xiucai as such a person before."

When Su Yulan heard this, she hurriedly left and asked, "Sister Ah Fang, how do you know?"

"Yesterday, Xiucai came home. In front of Zhang's house, Mr. Zhang beat Xiucai severely in front of the village." A Fang faltered as she spoke, and finally asked cruelly: "Yulan, tell sister-in-law, after so long, has that scholar touched, touched you?"

"Sister Ah Fang!" Su Yulan turned her body slightly when she heard the words, and said for a long time, "No, I, I never let him touch me."

"Huh! It's okay, it's okay." Sister Afang clasped her hands together when she heard the words, "Master Zhang has arranged a marriage for Xiucai, and he will welcome a new wife into the door next month."

"What?" Su Yulan stepped back when she heard the words, her heels hit a stone and fell to the ground, "Xiu Cai, why is Xiu Cai..."

"Yulan, don't be sad. No one in the village knows about Xiucai and you. You don't know. Not long after you escaped, Qian and Qian Yu came to your door. My mother and I felt that he was a good man. When Dad came back, we Let's discuss, let's see Qian Yu..." A Fang was interrupted by Su Yulan's cry before she could speak.

"Woooo..." Su Yulan curled up to the side, buried her head in her lap, and cried. Although her voice was small, her body was trembling from crying. She was already sad when she heard Qian Yuer She cried even worse. What she did was something that no man would be able to forgive, and she didn't have the face to ask for forgiveness.

"Yulan, don't cry, don't cry." Seeing Su Yulan like this, Ah Fang felt extremely regretful that she and the scholar had condensed. She thought that the scholar was an honest person and could be entrusted to her, but she didn't realize it, and abandoned her halfway.

Su Yulan cried for a long time, wiped her tears gently and said, "Sister Ah Fang, I want to meet a scholar, please help me."

"Yulan, such a heartless person, why do you see him?" Ah Fang was unwilling when she heard this.

"For nothing else, just ask." Su Yulan shook A Fang's hand.

"Hey, let's wait until next month. Right now, Mr. Zhang is keeping a close eye on him. I'm going to scold him and he won't even get in. Next month, the scholar will get married, and I'll arrange for you to go in." Ah Fang compromised and helped Su Yulan up ,"go home!"

"No!" Su Yulan shook her head, "I have to go back, I can't disappear out of thin air!"

"Where are you going back?" A Fang worriedly took Su Yulan's hand, "Now that all the scholars are back, what are you going back for?"

"I'm going back to Qian's house." Su Yulan said, holding back her tears. She told herself not to cry anymore. The person who blamed her is gone, but the person who blamed her is still there. After the busy farming season, she will confess, yes Beating or scolding Shen Tang, she didn't have any complaints.

"The Qian family?" Ah Fang hurriedly asked, "Which Qian family?"

"The Qian Family in Shanghe Village." Su Yulan said with a wry smile, "I hurt him so much that he couldn't be called a daughter-in-law, but he gave me and a scholar a place to live. Sister Afang, I, I can't help him." Su Yulan said this He quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes.

"Oh my god, then you can't go back. If you are found out, you will definitely be buried. What man in the world can bear it?" Sister Afang was frightened when she heard the words, and pulled Su Yulan, "Go home, let's not go home." gone back."

"Sister Afang, I owe him the original." Su Yulan insisted on refusing to go home. At this point, she would rather die than let her parents be judged by the people in the village. People in the village thought she had married into Shanghe Village, not to mention, she also owed the Qian family an explanation that she had to go back.
