77. Country
Half a round of red sun, a chicken. Shuheng stretched slightly and poked his head out of the quilt. Mrs. Yuan was afraid that she would not be used to sleeping, so she specially prepared a cover, fine velvet coral red begonia sheets, a jade-faced lotus lotus satin quilt, and even a small pillow. But Shuheng didn't let the tangerines take it out. Granny Song prepared a very complete set for her. Not only did the guys in the house wipe everything new, but even the bedding was brand new. The bed was made with muslin dyed aqua blue, and a quilt was made of new cotton wool, which was so soft that you could smell the soaphorn when you buried your head in it.
The pillow should be wheat bran and chrysanthemum leaves, and there is a slight rustle in the shake. Shuheng yawned pleasantly, squinting slightly, and the white window paper shone with a slight white light. It was already dawn. Tangerine walked briskly, and the wooden basin fetched water for her to clean her face. "Miss, I wore Mickey Mouse the day before yesterday and Tom yesterday, what do you want to wear today?"
Not in the capital, there is no need to think about meeting guests from time to time, so Shuheng can toss as he wants, Shuheng held his head and thought for a while, "Wear Xuebao." The one with the carrot on the nose. β
When Midarin heard this, he went to the side and rummaged through the cabinet. Honey walked in with a large handful of fresh flowers: "The pink and bright purple velvet blooming on the back hillside, I don't know what the name is, and it can add a lot of color when placed in the house." She took a clay pot and put the flowers in it, and said with a smile: "This house is too plain. It's like a scholar who is studying the wall. No, scholars don't live, but they seem to be monks. β
Shuheng also smiled. This is where my father lived. She let the orange put on her socks, went down to the ground and took a slow turn, the pullover was very loose, and she wore a thin pair of small silk pants under the belt, which was very comfortable and comfortable. She did not tie her hair in a bun or wear a hairpin, but tied two pigtails with ribbons, which hung down from both sides. Looking at the past with big eyes, she is no different from a modern little girl.
The harvesters are not willing to sleep until this time. After she dressed up slowly, Granny Song had already returned with a basket of pigweed, Sister-in-law Feng had already cleaned up the courtyard and was ready to stop breakfast, and Lao Tzu, who was in front of the tutor, had already gone to the village school with his eldest son Yushuan, who was studying. Even Yuzhu had already carried a bucket to pick up a tank of water, and now he went to chop wood again.
Granny Song has experience in entertaining distinguished guests, so she is only happy and not afraid of Shuheng, and her daughter-in-law and grandson are different. Later, at the request of the Duke and his wife, Honey Honey Tangerine should help sweep the floor and wash the dishes, and the solemn atmosphere was soon eased.
Especially Sister-in-law Feng, who didn't dare to move her eyes at first, the most noble person she had ever seen was just the village leader, but after getting along for a few days, she found that this extremely expensive county lord, the young four-grade edict, turned out to be a very kind person who could laugh, so she gradually stopped being cramped. She gave the stewed tender egg custard to the honey, and said with a smile: "The county lord is really good at picking up, and I don't think it's too much trouble to comb this one, but it just makes people's hearts itch." Hey, I can't say it, but it's chic and pretty anyway, and it's better than the painting. β
Shuheng took a small spoon and ate the custard, the stew was soft and smooth, dripping sesame oil and putting some minced pulp, which was fragrant. When the master of the Guogong Mansion is eating, he is not allowed to make a sound. When Sister-in-law Feng first spoke, Tangerine frowned reflexively, but was stepped on by Shuheng without a trace. She immediately swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled: "Actually, I'm stupid, I can't do other work, why don't I spend some effort on my body?" Sister-in-law, you are different, mother-in-law always praises sister-in-law for her ability, and the book also says that hard-working women are the most beautiful. β
"Where there is, what is beautiful, stupid girl." Sister-in-law Feng's face turned red, and she hurriedly went to the dustpan to get the soles of her shoes to accept, and while twisting the thread, she secretly looked at Shuheng, and saw that the Shuheng bowl was empty, she hurriedly took it and gave the freshly steamed elm money marinade bun to Shuheng to eat: "The county lord tastes it, I made it." Isn't it as good as my mother-in-law's? β
Shuheng couldn't help laughing, took a big bite, and praised the deliciousness: "Mother-in-law's dough should be stronger, but sister-in-law's filling is a little different, and the taste is very delicious." β
Sister-in-law Feng immediately smiled and said proudly: "After I passed the elm money through water to remove the astringency, I added a little salt and soaked it, which is better than sprinkling salt later." β
Honey is clamoring to learn, and when I get home, I can still eat it. Sister-in-law Feng agreed again and again, reading the sweetness of the book, and finally couldn't help but reply in a low voice: "County Lord, you are a powerful person who reads and writes, is it really written in the book that the girl who can work is beautiful?" β
Shu Heng looked at her brushing her hair with her hands, wanting to ask if she wanted to ask, she couldn't help but smile and endure the hard work, and immediately swallowed the bun in three or two bites, dipped her fingers in water and drew it on the table to her: "This word is called Shu." Lady's lady. It is the evaluation standard of a good woman, and it is also the direction of the little girl's efforts. Shu has the meaning of Qingzhan in "Shuowen", and it is composed of two parts: water and uncle. Shuheng drew a stroke to decompose: "Uncle means picking beans." It's labor. The meaning of this word is that the working girl is like water, fresh and beautiful. It's someone like my sister-in-law. β
Sister-in-law Feng was even more embarrassed when she got the answer she wanted, she wanted to laugh again, scratched her head again, and knocked off the insole, hurriedly picked it up, and said: "What's beautiful, crop people, what do you eat if you don't work, you have to live." β
She said so, but Shuheng could still feel that she was happy.
This is normal, and anyone who is affirmed will be happy. Especially Sister-in-law Feng, she has seen such a noble person for the first time in her life, and this topic is enough to show off for several years. But don't say that the book is balanced, just looking at the demeanor of the two maids, Sister-in-law Feng feels that she is simply thick and stupid like a piece of mud. Now I feel much more comfortable.
After eating and drinking, Shuheng slowly shook outside alone. The big yellow dog was now familiar with her, and he didn't bark when he saw it, but wagged his tail in a friendly way. In fact, Shuheng wanted to touch it at first, but was blocked by the orange brake: "Miss should be careful, this dog is not a curly-haired dog in our house, it has eaten." β
The corners of Shuheng's mouth twitched, and he reached out and flicked its ears lightlyβand then, clearly, saw blood-sucking grass worms in the cochlea. What a rural scene, this is the real taste of the farmhouse. She put her hands on her back and faced the wheat field, and the posture of watching was extremely deepβand then, when she turned around, she saw Honey holding the dog's head and rubbing her face vigorously, and as a result, she was dyed with fleas, and she took off her clothes at night and pressed them directly into the basin of water.
The big red rooster walked past her proudly with a long dark green tail, and the ox tethered to the peach tree leisurely chewed and ruminated. The peaches on the tree have expired, and they have been picked off one by one, and now there are only a few late apricots tenaciously supported, and Huang Chengcheng is hanging on the branch, which is specially reserved for Shuheng.
"Vermilion green bean wine, green grass and white goose village". The mountains and rivers are restored, and the willows and flowers are bright. The rural scenes in the poems of the ancients are always so bright and vivid, but more often than not, sweat, soil, fleas, insects and flies are the countryside. Those poets always wanted to retreat to the countryside, probably because they had never planted the land. There was a Tao Yuanming farming, but he starved to death.
Shuheng easily begged Granny Song to take her to the ground to pull weeds, but although there was no confusion between the good and the bad, she only insisted on squatting for about two pillars of incense, with back pain and dizziness. In order to avoid the disaster of accidentally injuring a crop, Shuheng gave up obediently and retreated silently.
Granny Song said with a smile: "Where is the county lord who is the one who does this, this kind of work should be handed over to the old woman." β
In fact, if she really crossed over to a rural peasant girl, she wouldn't be able to, even though she had been ten fingers since her previous life. Shuheng touched his nose quite embarrassedly: "Actually, I originally knew that I couldn't help, but I didn't expect to lose so quickly." β
"Hahaha, the county chief will sing a song for me." Granny Song gently plucked the insects from the plants, and said with a smile: "With you watching here, I don't feel tired of working." β
Shuheng smiled: "Then I'll start." Under the bridge in front of the door, swim past a flock of ducks, come and count them, two, four, six, seven, eightβ"
The adult Shuheng began to willingly pretend to be tender and abandon the coquettish stupidity of shame.
Granny Song is old, and older people love to reminisce. Especially when it comes to the book scale. From time to time, she would make a gesture: "Under this peach tree, your father used to stand here." No one in the village had ever seen such a good-looking child, and every time he appeared, everyone would talk about it for days. The old man and I had to keep the door open at the beginning, so as not to worry others. β
Shuheng made up that picture in his brain - it was too beautiful to look at.
"Now Grandpa Guo is much more harmonious, and he was very left-handed at the beginning, and he was not forgiving in his mouth and heart. At the beginning, there was a traveling doctor who was treating patients in the village. When the child was swollen and his cheeks were swollen, the doctor drew a talisman and burned the talisman water. As a result, he was counted by the grandfather from heaven to earth, from ancestors to grandsons, and people almost jumped into the well. Later, it was blasted out. β
Shuheng was silent. In fact, in this era, many witch doctors are not separated, especially in the countryside. If one is really forced to die, and no one dares to come in the future, it will be very bad. It's because he looks so good, otherwise he might be the one who was bombed.
It turns out that my dad still has such a time when he was in the second year of secondary school. Hey, that style of painting is too strange to think.
"Your father is easy to get sick, saying that his life is too expensive to raise, and he came to the countryside to hide from smallpox, which fell into the hands of my bad wife. At that time, it was not easy for the old man to deal with his brother and at the same time find a way to hand over the family business to Xiaowa. β
If it used to be that Shuheng would have listened to it, but now it won't. Which of these families is simple?
"How tall is Brother Yu now? Can I still wear the tiger head shoes I made with him? β
"Yes, my mother-in-law is good at pinching. There are also some that Sister Shuyue has done herself, which is enough. β
"Our grandfather and aunt are like old ladies, and old ladies, just like fairies. I don't know which one the master will be like. β
An old lady from the Chen family in Jiangdong. Shuheng secretly said that she was really like a fairy, and she didn't eat the fireworks of the world. It's a pity that you live in the world, how can you survive without fireworks? This kind of woman can only be loved, cared for, and collected.
In the eyes of the world, Yuan's father is probably very legendary, but the more Shuheng knows now, the more he feels otherwise. About the beginning, after my grandfather found out that his brothers were eyeing him, he began to make false and real, secretly Chen Cang, destroyed it, and then accumulated strength to kill it all, and also fell into the name of righteous annihilation - just like the dispute between the Gongshu Duan brothers.
Although this analysis is a little ruthless, it is obviously not an ordinary person for the old man to marry a woman from the Chen family. Unfortunately, he died early, and the task fell to his son. The family dispute that took two generations to settle was resolved, and Shu Heng couldn't help but blush secretly when he thought that he was trying to settle it with a small means.
She and the Guogong couple in the capital often have news that nothing major has happened in the capital, except for the rejection of the old Shenge's request to establish the prince and the country, and the eldest prince being crowned the king of Qin. A qiΔ seems to have entered a period of repair after the storm. As for what bigger variables are brewing under this calm, the devil knows.
There are many rights and wrongs, and Shu Heng, who has always been in a negative and decadent mentality recently, plunged into the farmer's house as an ostrich who only pretended that nothing had happened.
However, trouble will not let her go lightly after all, Shu Heng did not expect that he would meet Liu Yang here, and it was an extremely embarrassing occasion.
