Chapter 23 - 23. Asking the way makes waves

Tian Erya took out the burn ointment that she carried with her, and applied it on the wound clumsily: "Second Master, don't worry about my marriage. I know what I look like. Since we are in the blacksmith business, we should avoid If you don’t get burns and scalds, I have medicine with me!”

Zheng Yide jumped up: "You expect yourself to be burned sooner or later, and you still want to do this job?"

"Of course, it's better to be injured than to have nothing to eat! This time I was careless. If I pay more attention in the future, I won't get burned." Tian Erya shouted to the blacksmith and the women who pulled the bellows: "I have Badger ointment has miraculous effects on burns and scalds, if you are injured, you can ask me for it."

Zheng Yide pursed his lips, obviously Tian Erya was the one who got burned, and she was the one who should feel uncomfortable, but why did he start to feel a little bit uncomfortable?

After Tian Erya finished treating the wound, she started to sit next to the blacksmith to watch others forging iron. When she was watching the blacksmith's forging, she was touched by someone behind with iron pliers to her leg, causing another burst of pain.Seeing the other party bowing and apologizing to her, she quickly waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

Zheng Yide looked coldly at Tian Erya being bumped into her shoulders and stepped on her feet one after another, still staring at the blacksmith with a silly smile, her face getting more and more gloomy.

Tian Erya stared at the skillful actions of the blacksmiths such as copying scissors, filing rough heads, stringing scissors, and lettering. She was dazzled and admired in her heart. After Zheng Yide announced that work was over, she was reluctant to part with the pain and pain all over her body. Tired took the clothes and shoes given by the young lady of the Zheng family and went out.As soon as she stepped out of the gate, she tripped over something and fell down again.

The two guards laughed.

Tian Erya stood up with difficulty, saw the threshold a few centimeters behind, lowered her head in embarrassment, picked up the clothes and shoes that had fallen on the ground, smiled awkwardly at the guard and hurried away.

The fat guard winked at the thin guard: "This silly girl thought she was tripping over the threshold, and she didn't even know that you were always on the move."

"A silly girl who dares to speak disrespectfully to the second master on the first day should be taught a lesson. The second master's scalding is always light. Just watch! She will suffer in the future."

Tian Erya didn't know the inside story, she left the blacksmith yard, and didn't know which way to go back to her residence, so she could only walk forward indiscriminately.

Not long after Zheng Yuansheng came out of his biological mother's second aunt's room, he saw Tian Erya head-on, and it seemed too deliberate to turn around, so he could only bite the bullet and walk forward.

Seeing his eyes brighten, Tian Erya ran forward excitedly: "Fourth young master?"

Zheng Yuansheng frowned, and pursed his lips in annoyance.

"Fourth young master, I would like to ask you, how can I walk back to the place where I live?"

Zheng Yuansheng didn't expect that she was here to ask for directions, so he pointed to one side: "Go left along this road, go right along the corridor, and then go left again, and you will see an archway above which says 'Indus Garden', and you will be there. "

"Fourth young master, how do you write the word 'Wutong Garden'?"

Zheng Yuansheng remembered that she was illiterate, looked around, broke off a branch from a short tree, and squatted on the ground to write.

Tian Erya turned her head sideways and looked over.

There was only a screaming female voice, "What are you doing here?" Tian Erya was pushed aside.

Zheng Yuansheng raised his head and saw his mother standing up: "Mother?"

The second aunt stared at Tian Erya: "Are you shameless? Come to join our family Yuansheng in broad daylight."

Zheng Yuansheng was very helpless to his mother's fuss: "Mother, she is asking me for directions, so I will write for her. Don't shout loudly."

Tian Erya picked up the clothes and shoes that fell on the ground, and bowed to them: "I know now, thank you Fourth Young Master, Second Madam."

"Wait." Zheng Yuansheng called her, pointing to the big blister on the back of her hand, "How did this happen?"

"I accidentally got burned. Fourth Young Master, Second Madam, I'm leaving first." Tian Erya was also afraid that others would see her and Zheng Yuansheng together and cause misunderstanding, so she hurried away.

Zheng Yuansheng looked at her tired back thoughtfully.

The second aunt smiled happily: "Fourth, the injury on the back of her hand must have been caused by your second uncle. Your second uncle is not easy to mess with. After hearing that you are being entangled by Tian Erya, he will definitely teach her a lesson."

"Mother, Tian Erya didn't pester me. If it were any other woman, she would do the same thing as her."

The second aunt nodded his head: "You are just too kind, always thinking of others. Don't be soft-hearted, you want to marry her as your wife. If you really marry a country woman, you won't be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life."

"I know, I'm going back to study." Zheng Yuansheng pushed her hand away.

The second aunt shouted from behind him: "Study hard, don't think about anything else, you must be admitted to Juren."

Zheng Yuansheng didn't turn his head back, went to the study and opened the book, seeing the big bubble on the back of Zhengtian Erya's hand, hesitated for a while and got up, ready to go out to inquire.

"Fourth brother?" Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law was about to knock on the door, and saw him open the door with a smile all over her face, "Are you going to go out?"

"No, I heard walking outside the door, so come and have a look. Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law took the food plate from the little girl behind her: "Today, my mother's family sent some high-quality walnuts. I see that you usually study hard, and these walnuts are the most nourishing for the brain. I asked the kitchen to make amber walnuts for you. bring here."

"Thank you sister-in-law. By the way, sister-in-law, I saw Tian Erya just now and found a very large blister on the back of her hand."

Mrs. Zheng was taken aback: "Really? Could it be that such a terrible thing happened just after your elder brother and I left the blacksmith yard? The second uncle is really ruthless."

Zheng Yuansheng was taken aback: "What does this have to do with Second Uncle?"

"Tian Erya came to the iron yard for the first time today, and she quarreled with the second uncle because of not having enough to eat. The second uncle was so angry that he said in front of me and your elder brother that he must clean up Tian Erya. .I didn't expect him to be so heavy when he shot. When you saw Tian Erya, did she yell at you or make trouble?"

"No, she just couldn't find the way back to Wutong Garden, so she asked me the way."

Zheng Yuanxin's daughter-in-law sighed: "That girl is really screwed up. I really hope she doesn't go to the iron yard tomorrow. What is going to happen there? Your elder brother and I can't afford it either."

Zheng Yuansheng smiled slightly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the work in the blacksmith yard is so heavy and the environment is harsh, Tian Erya won't be here for long, she will beg to leave."

"Fourth, you guessed it wrong. Tian Erya fell in love with the second uncle's craftsmanship in forging scissors, and insisted on staying there. The second uncle proposed to let her clean the nine large water tanks in the yard every day and fill them with water. Tian Erya agreed. I don’t think she will leave easily.”

Zheng Yuansheng was surprised: "The nine large water tanks are cleaned and filled with water? This is not a job that one person can possibly complete in a day!"

"Tian Erya is very capable. She may be used to this kind of work at home, and she finished it in half a day in the morning. Of course, she is too tired."

"What does she learn to forge scissors as a girl?"
