Good man, he has a golden finger

The breakfast is naturally very sumptuous, almost better than what Village Chief Cui’s family eats during the Chinese New Year. These meals include chicken, duck, and fish. They are all good things that the villagers keep at home. Now they are all used to entertain Xie Tingzhou. It’s just a meal. Except for pickles, the table was all filled with meat. Xie Tingzhou looked helpless.

After finally drinking porridge and casually eating some meat and vegetables, he said.

"The meals don't need to be so sumptuous. I know the situation in Cuijia Village. Are these the meals that the villagers have hoarded for the New Year?"

Xie Tingzhou's words made Village Chief Cui admire this noble man even more. After all, he had met some noble men in the past. These noble men were very romantic, but they never wanted to treat the poor people as human beings. Yes, in the eyes of the nobles, these poor people are just livestock, maybe not even livestock.

"The noble man is right. These things on the table are really the wishes of the people in the village. Last night, I asked my eldest son to take the children to tell the villagers of the noble man's arrival, and that the noble man planned to contribute a sum of money to repair the village. Of course, everyone is very grateful for the house. I have specially sent these meals, and I hope you will not dislike it. "

Village Chief Cui knew that the noble man's home was probably filled with slaves, and he lived a life of calling slaves and maids. In the morning, he saw that the noble man's hair was a little messy, and the people in the family were clumsy, but Village Chief Cui didn't. I didn't dare to say anything more, and planned to go back to Renyazi in the county to buy some maids to serve the nobles.

"I have tasted these and understood the thoughts of the people in the village." Xie Tingzhou didn't say anything, but just said that he knew.

Sometimes, if you are too gentle and approachable, people will feel that you have offended you, but now Xie Tingzhou's coldness is just right.

This table of dishes was made by the eldest daughter-in-law, whose father is a chef. It would be fine if placed in a restaurant in the county. But now the noble man has only eaten a few bites and must be dissatisfied. Village Chief Cui plans to let his daughter-in-law do it later. Let's make some appetizing meals, the purpose is to make the noble people eat well.

"I plan to go to the village to have a look." Xie Tingzhou said, and Village Chief Cui immediately understood what he meant.

"Then let my son serve at your side. If you want to know anything, just ask him."

Following Village Chief Cui's words, the eyes of the three sons were bright. They had never seen such a good-looking noble man. Even if they had been to the county seat or the largest town, they had never seen such a good-looking person. Now, even if I want to be a guide, I am still eager to give it a try.

"Yes." Xie Tingzhou said no more and stood up. Village Chief Cui quickly gave his eldest son a wink and asked him to follow him.

The other two sons suddenly looked disappointed and pitiful, but Village Chief Cui still shook his head.

Afterwards, when Xie Tingzhou went out, Village Chief Cui took his two sons to tidy up the room for the nobleman, which meant sweeping and cleaning. He had to make sure that the nobleman's stay was comfortable at all times.

"Dad, my wife brought some spices from home before. Why don't you light some spices for your nobles at night, so that your nobles can sleep more comfortably."

Spices can only be enjoyed by rich families. This spice is the dowry of the second daughter-in-law. It is understandable that Cui Laoer wants to use it to please the nobles.

"Okay, then tell your wife that when the house is built, we will arrange a spacious and bright house for your family."

As soon as these words came out, Cui Laoer suddenly beamed with joy, but Cui Laosan did his work silently and did not say a word, but he packed up things neatly, which made Village Chief Cui very satisfied.

Here, the Cui family is cleaning up the room where Xie Tingzhou lived. They even picked red plums from nowhere and put them in the vase to decorate them, trying to make Xie Tingzhou's stay comfortable and peaceful.

As for Xie Tingzhou, he had already left the village chief's house and walked out.

It seemed to have snowed again last night, and now everything was completely white, and there was no one around. There was a sense of silence with no trace of people around. As I walked on the road, my black boots made a crunching sound on the snowflakes.

Cuijia Village is very poor, and the only good thing is one's heart. Therefore, someone saw the scene outside the house and saw the black shadow in the white snow, and immediately knew that this was what Village Chief Cui had informed last night - —A nobleman who came to their village.

The noble man said that considering how miserable their life was, he wanted to build tile-roofed houses for them!

That's why so many people hurriedly delivered all the delicious food they had stored to Village Chief Cui's house last night, just to please this noble man, because the noble man only needs a little bit of the nail cracks to be exposed, which is enough for their village. I haven't had to worry about food and drink for decades.

Someone quietly walked out of the house, and then they saw the appearance of the noble man. Among the white snowflakes, the noble man was simply different from everyone they saw. He was like a god descending to earth, with a white face. It was a bit whiter than the snow, and the black cloak on his body was even more expensive. When the noble man walked around, it was hard to see what the gold trimmed flowers on the clothes were. Anyway, it was them. No one in the village has ever seen it.

The people around him looked at him with curiosity and reverence, but Xie Tingzhou had long been accustomed to such looks.

He walked slowly on the snow and was a little surprised to see a patch of red in front of him.

"Is that Merlin ahead?"

That's right, in such a small village, there is a whole plum forest at the lower level in front. At this time, the red plum trees reflect the snow, which is a beautiful scene in the world. Looking down from a high place, it is really a different kind of beauty.

"Yes, noble sir, there is a small plum grove in our village over there. It was planted by the village's doctor grandfather. The doctor saved many people in the past. After his death, he was buried in the plum grove. Every winter, the plum grove blooms very well. The villagers left it here so that the children can enjoy the scenery in winter.”

Cui Mingshan explained that he still remembered when he was a child, he heard the village doctor grandpa say that people cannot survive in the same white color for a long time. If you keep looking at the white snow in winter, you will become blind over time, so he planted this red plum forest. After that, winter would be like this, and the children would have a place to play.

"Go down and have a look."

Xie Tingzhou spoke, really feeling that the scenery in the ancient world was still different from modern times. Modern landscaping is all artificial. How is it like the natural scenery here today?

In the white snow, there are only a few red plums dotted, which is already refreshing.

Cui Mingshan saw that the road going down was covered with white snow, so he took the initiative to stretch out his arm, hoping that the noble man could use him as a walking stick.

However, Xie Tingzhou went down safely and without any embarrassment at all.

When the two arrived at the plum grove, they realized that the three-acre plum grove was still very large. Snowflakes were already on the ground. Some of the red plum trees were blooming stamens and some were flower bones, dotted beautifully with white snow. .

Xie Tingzhou looked at this beautiful scenery and felt that it was really good. The faint fragrance of plum blossoms filled his nose, and for some reason it reminded him of a sentence.

"How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without experiencing a bone-chilling cold?"

He couldn't help but murmur, but such a low voice fell into Cui Mingshan's ears, and he was stunned for a moment. He seemed to feel for a moment that he could understand the noble man's words.

Looking at the red plums in my eyes, I couldn't help but repeat the noble man's words in my heart, repeating them several times.

Wonderful... He is truly worthy of being a noble person. Even when he sees the plum blossoms, he is so detached.

After Xie Tingzhou admired the beautiful scenery for a while, he suddenly heard the noisy sounds of children. He turned around and saw several children playing here.

They danced and played, and then let the snowflakes on the plum tree fall on their heads and bodies with the petals. Everyone's face was red from the cold, and their fingers were also red, but they did not delay the fun. This was probably the way children played in ancient times. Noisy way.

As they were running and making trouble, a child ran towards Xie Tingzhou, startling Cui Mingshan behind him.

The child bumped into Xie Tingzhou, but Xie Tingzhou remained motionless like a strong pine tree, borrowing the child.

The other children also saw the noble man wearing a black robe with gold trim at the corners. They were immediately frightened and at a loss. They huddled together like little quails, so cute.

The person who bumped into Xie Tingzhou was someone else, Cui Mingshan's second son Cui Xiaoxiao, which made Cui Mingshan kneel on the ground immediately.

"Noble sir, I didn't mean to offend you, please show your respect."

He pulled his son and knelt down. In the snow, the dark-skinned man was so nervous that he was almost sweating, but the little boy he was pulling smiled at Xie Tingzhou with two red cheeks on his face.

"My lord, grandpa said that you are the most distinguished guest in our village, would you like to give this plum blossom to you? We have been selecting the most beautiful plum blossoms we have found for a long time."

Cui Xiaowu actually took out a plum blossom from behind and handed it over, with bright and innocent eyes. Xie Tingzhou looked at the child's sincere smile and did not feel offended at all.

He stretched out his hand, and his extremely white fingers, which were almost as green as green onions, were in sharp contrast to the red and swollen hands of the child. He did not dislike it and took the plum blossom from the child's hand.

"Kid, what's your name?"

The plum blossoms he held looked more like the gods mentioned in the painting books. Cui Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, knowing that noble people are the kind of people who can do anything! He immediately said to the noble man.

"My name is Cui Xiaoxiao. Sir, can I send you plum blossoms every day? When winter is over, there will still be peach blossoms and pear blossoms in our village. Can I give them to you?"

I have never seen such a beautiful noble man. After seeing him yesterday, Cui Xiaoxiao felt that he must give plum blossoms to the noble man, because only such beautiful red plums can be worthy of the noble man. I believe that the village doctor has a spirit in heaven, so he must Will support him.

"Okay." Xie Tingzhou agreed happily. Looking at the child, his heart was extremely complicated.

In modern times, a child like this who looks less than ten years old would still be the treasure of his parents, but now he is extremely well-behaved and sensible.

Thinking of this, he became interested and said.

"Your name is not very good, how about I give you a name?"

As soon as these words came out, before Cui Xiaowu could react, Cui Mingshan immediately pressed his son's head and kowtowed frantically towards Xie Tingzhou.

"Thank you, sir, for giving my son a name."

Cui Xiaoxiao quickly understood the meaning and imitated his father's words.

"My lord, thank you for naming me." Cui Xiaoxiao doesn't like this name, but people in the village think that children with cheap names will not be easily taken away by the Lord of Hell. They usually give another name after they are ten years old.

Xie Tingzhou looked at Cui Xiaoxiao who was so smart, thought for a while and said.

"Then I will name you Yingxue, Red Plum Yingxue, to fulfill your intention of giving me the red plum today. Are you willing?"

Cui Xiaowu, oh no, it’s Cui Yingxue now. He was naturally willing, and he kowtowed to the noble man several times with joy.

"My Lord, I like you very much. Yingxue kowtows to you and thanks you for giving me the name."
