Good man, he has a golden finger

These days, the names in the village are actually randomly chosen. Most of them are similar to Cui Xiaogou's previous name, such as Xiaogougoudan and Gousheng. Even when they reach adulthood, some may not be able to change their names to good ones.

Cui Mingshan's name was changed after he became an adult. His mother asked his uncle in Wenxian Town to find a fortune teller to give him this name. He said that the name Mingshan would make Cui Mingshan a man who could stand up to the sky and support the family business, like a mountain.

After having such a name, Cui Mingshan thought so in his heart and did so. He has always been filial to his parents, caring for his wife, and taking care of his brothers. He is also very respectable in the village. Moreover, the election of the village chief in the village is a joint choice. After Cui, the village chief, stepped down, Cui Mingshan, who had always helped the villagers to do things, would naturally be the next village chief, shouldering the responsibility of protecting all villagers.

In addition to being an official position and a person who can exercise power, the village chief is also a person who needs a strong soul to protect all the weak villagers. Cui Mingshan has always done so.

And now, his son also has a name, a new name.

Cui Yingxue... Such a nice name immediately reminded Cui Mingshan of the snow-covered land and the red plum trees. He instinctively felt that his son's fate had changed at this moment.

Is the red plum reflecting the snow reflecting the red plum or the snow? If the red plum falls into the hands of the noble, will Yingxue also go with the red plum?

For a moment, Cui Mingshan felt happy and sad. He was looking forward to the noble taking his son away, but he was also worried that if his son left him, he would be wronged at such a young age.

At this moment, Cui Yingxue was still smiling happily, not knowing that her parents were already worried. For their children, parents would make all kinds of plans, just like the plan of Cui Village Chief for Cui Mingshan, and Cui Mingshan for Cui Yingxue.

As a parent, who doesn't want his son to meet a noble and rise to the top in one step?

Xie Tingzhou didn't care about what these people thought. Looking at the child with frostbite on his hands and face, he said.

"What are you doing here?"

It was cold in winter, and even in the morning when the sun shone, it was still chilly. Although these children were wearing linen jackets, they were actually very cold, otherwise they wouldn't have frozen all over.

"Looking at plum blossoms!"

"Picking plum blossoms!"

"Xiaogou said he wanted to pick the most beautiful plum blossom for the noble!"

At this moment, Cui Yingxue had stood up from the ground with her father. After hearing Xie Tingzhou's question, the children began to answer seriously. When they were playing, they were also looking for beautiful plum blossoms in the plum forest. In the morning, Cui Xiaogou came early to pick plum blossoms, saying that they were for the noble to decorate the room.

In the past, picking plum blossoms in the plum forest here in winter was not allowed, but the noble's status was different, so the children came to help.

They wanted to choose the most beautiful plum blossom to give to the noble.

Because the noble was really beautiful, just like Xiaogou said, he seemed to be a fairy! Otherwise, why would someone look so beautiful? Her skin was as white as a peeled egg, a fairy-like figure that the children had never seen before.

"So that's it." Xie Tingzhou looked at the sincere answers of these children, and his heart softened. He suddenly remembered that when he opened his purse before, the manager of the Hanfu shop gave him candy in the purse.

Thinking of this, he said.

"I only need one plum blossom. This tree is full of beautiful red plum blossoms. They are the most beautiful on the branches. You don't have to come here early to pick plum blossoms in the future. It's too cold. Look at you, your hands are frozen red. Are you cold?"

The nobleman was so kind and amiable, even more gentle than his mother at home, and his voice was very pleasant, which made the children gather around. Although they wanted to get close, they didn't dare to get too close. They just stood there obediently, looking up at the nobleman.

"It's cold, but I'm not cold when I see you."

"I'm not cold, I like to pick plum blossoms for you!"

"Your Excellency, can I pick peach blossoms for you in spring? I have a peach tree at home, it's so beautiful!"

"And me! I'll pick flowers for you too, I'm not cold, I like you!"

Children are the most sincere, they don't know how to express their emotions yet, as long as they see something, they will praise it generously. At this moment, surrounded by children, watching these children tacitly keep a distance of one meter from me, I just think that the people in Cuijia Village are well educated.

It's a pity that these children are in ancient times. If they were in modern times, I'm afraid they would all be extremely smart.

Cui Mingshan, who was standing aside, saw that the noble liked the children, and did not stop him. Listening to the children's childish words, there was a little more smile in his eyes.

Xie Tingzhou felt that these children really liked it, took out his purse, and took out candy from it. It was the kind of shiny, small candy wrapped in a layer of cellophane.

He smiled at the children, and this smile was more attractive than the plum blossoms in the forest.

"Here, stretch out your hands."

When he said this, the children immediately stretched out their hands. Although these little hands were red from the cold, they were clean. They had just gone out in the morning, so they were naturally well dressed. In order to find a beautiful plum blossom for the noble man, everyone worked very hard.

There were five children present, and two small colorful candies were placed in the palms of each of them. The candies were really small, about the size of a child's fingernail, but the bright candy wrappers on them were particularly beautiful, which stunned the children. They stared at the things in their hands, not knowing what they were, and did not dare to move them. They only knew that they were gifts from noble people.

Xie Tingzhou looked through the bag and found that there were still a few candies in it. He looked at the children who were staring at the candies but did not know what they were, and found them very cute.

He took out an orange candy and opened the wrapper in front of everyone.

"This is fruit candy. The outer layer is the wrapper, which cannot be eaten. Open the wrapper and eat the candy inside. It is sour and sweet, and you will like it."

He opened the orange candy, but did not eat it himself. Instead, he handed it to Cui Yingxue.

"Try it and see what it tastes like."

The palm of the nobleman's hand is white and tender, even whiter than his mother's. You can tell at a glance that he never does farm work. It looks as beautiful as white jade. Cui Yingxue looked at the orange candy in the palm of the nobleman's hand, stretched out her hand, and carefully took it.

"Thank you, nobleman!" He thanked very politely, and then put it in his mouth under the expectant eyes of his friends, and then his eyes suddenly lit up!

That's right! This orange candy tastes like orange, and the sour and sweet taste filled his mouth all at once, making Cui Yingxue's face suddenly full of surprise.

"Sour and sweet, it's a candy I've never eaten before."

The candy now is a yellow candy that doesn't look good, unlike this extremely beautiful candy, which tastes so good. Is this the candy that the nobleman often eats?

The other few people also learned to do this, peeled off the candy wrapper, and then couldn't wait to stuff the candy into their mouths, and then everyone tasted different. A bite of candy is enough to make a child happy for the whole day.

Each of them tacitly did not throw away the candy wrappers. The candy wrappers in their hands were beautiful and colorful. Under the refraction of the sun, they were a dazzling colorful light, which made people reluctant to throw them away.

In the ancient environment, there were not so many colors. Such candy wrappers were enough for people to treasure for a lifetime.

Xie Tingzhou had no place to throw the candy wrappers. After all, the ground was full of snow, and it was not good to throw garbage casually, so he stuffed the candy wrappers into Cui Yingxue's hands.

"Okay, eat the candy and play by yourself. Go home early, don't get sick."

As he said this, the children immediately nodded obediently, looking at Xie Tingzhou with eyes full of admiration, but after thanking Xie Tingzhou for the candy one by one, the children left together.

Xie Tingzhou and Cui Mingshan were left in the plum forest. Cui Mingshan's heart was beating fast. He felt that his family had really met a nobleman. Just the candy that the nobleman took out just now was something he had never seen in Wenxian Town. I'm afraid that one piece would cost several taels of silver, but the nobleman gave it to the children casually.

The nobleman was so kind that they naturally couldn't get too much. They had to serve the nobleman better. When the nobleman's servants came to pick him up, they would have completed their merits.

Just when Cui Mingshan was thinking about whether to go to Shuifeng County in a few days to buy cloth for the nobleman to make clothes, he couldn't let the nobleman always wear the same clothes, he heard Xie Tingzhou's voice.

"It's a pity that my piano is not here, but this tree full of red plums. If there is a piano sound, it would be a romantic scene."

Secretly wrote down the piano, thinking about asking his father to see if he could buy one in a few days for the nobleman to entertain.

Moreover, the noble is so amazing, he can do so many things, not only can he recite poems, but he can also play the piano...

Xie Tingzhou is enjoying the snow and beauty here, and he doesn't feel cold even though he is wearing thick clothes, but the villagers have already taken action.

The most amazing embroiderer in the village has sent over the clothes she made overnight, which are two sets of inner clothes and two sets of brocade robes. This is collected by the whole village. The inner clothes are made of soft cotton cloth, and the two sets of brocade robes are the dowry brought by the richest girl who married from other villages. It is red brocade. Now they are all used to make two sets of red slim brocade robes for Xie Tingzhou to replace.

Village Chief Cui carefully checked it and was very satisfied when he saw that the corners of the clothes were also beautifully made.

Not only that, the villagers also sent all kinds of things for the noble to use. It can be said that they really tried very hard to do good for this noble.

When Xie Tingzhou came back from watching the snow, he saw that the lobby was also decorated with plum blossoms. He didn't know where the white plums were picked from, but the air was filled with a faint plum fragrance, which was quite unique.

On the table were four-color cakes made by Cui Mingshan's wife. She borrowed various materials from the villagers to make four-color cakes in the shape of plum blossoms, which looked very appetizing.

"My dear, it's still early in the afternoon. Why don't you try the cakes made by my daughter-in-law first? Lunch is already being prepared."

Village Chief Cui was still very attentive. Xie Tingzhou was used to it and sat calmly in the main seat, with a little indifference in his voice.

"Yes."

He took out the silver fork again to taste the cakes, but Cui Mingshan on the side made up his mind in his heart.

He must let his son follow this nobleman to leave their Cuijia Village! The nobleman is so kind. If his son follows the nobleman, he will definitely have a better way out. He must do this...
