The summer breeze is impetuous, the temperature of the air can steam a crab crawling on the ground, and if a passerby beats an egg on the ground, the scorching ground will quickly turn the egg into a poached egg. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Mo Xiaohe sat in the carriage and opened all the windows on both sides, only blocking them with breathable gauze tents, so that the air convection ventilation could be slightly better.

The streets of Kyoto are too crowded, and when you get out of the city gate, you will get to the official road.

The sunlight shines through the window screen and enters the carriage, and the bamboo mat on the carriage is illuminated by the light, it is hot, and every half an hour, Mo Xiaohe has to use cold water to penetrate the surface, and then dry it with a dry cloth towel, so as not to sit on it like this, so that it will not be so hot.

At this time, she especially missed the water pavilion in Mofu, Kyoto, surrounded by green trees, and an ice basin in the house, which was cool and comfortable, but she felt that every time she walked an inch of land to the south, it would be closer to home, and she felt that it was worth suffering a little.

"Husband, drink a cup of herbal tea!"

Herbal tea is a small packet brought out of Mofu, brewed with hot water, and then waited to cool, if there is a larger grocery store along the way, you can spend a little money to buy ice cubes to add to it, quench your thirst and quench the heat.

The tea stalls on the side of the road are all mint leaves, two cents for a big bowl, five cents for a casual drink, in fact, it is also foam, not much stronger than white water.

Ice cubes are too expensive, not something that ordinary people can use, Mo Xiaohe bought a fist-sized piece, bargained with the shopkeeper, and finally sold it for 200 yuan, no way, this day in a car, it was really tortured, she saw that Gu Zheng's back had been soaked with sweat, and then it was dried by the sun, forming circles of sweat stains.

"You're in the carriage, don't come out, the sun is roasting."

Gu Zheng rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular bulging arms, because of the sunlight, the wheat color turned a lot darker, he wiped the sweat that almost flowed into his eyes with a cloth towel, took the tea bowl, and did not forget to tell Mo Xiaohe.

He is a rough man, not afraid of the sun, and his wife has fine skin and tender flesh, which is easy to sunburn, and the skin will be red and swollen, painful and itchy, and maybe a layer of skin will be peeled.

"Husband, I'm wearing a hood."

Mo Xiaohe took the empty teacup, poured it full, just added ice cubes, and moistened his throat coldly, otherwise on a hot day, his voice would be smoking.

At the city gate, the official checked the two of them and allowed them to pass through, Mo Xiaohe poked her head out of the window and waved her hand at the towering city wall of Kyoto, she thought that one day, she would definitely come back.

Not long after leaving the capital, on the official road, the horses galloped and brought up a light breeze, which made Mo Xiaohe much better, she found a comfortable position to lie back, put down the blackout curtain on one side, and began to read the script given by Zhang Xianxian.

On the horse, it is really good to be able to do something to pass the boring time, she suddenly felt that it is not bad to have such an innocent sister-in-law, in case it is a powerful scheming person, I am afraid that I will provoke their brothers and sisters to centrifuge.

Most of these books are sold in bookstores, and the ladies who are lonely and waiting for the boudoir to relieve their boredom are all using this. Zhang Xianxian gave her a hardcover version, which tells the story of a talented and beautiful woman who fell in love with each other, broke through secular obstacles and finally got married.

"It seems that women have long begun to wake up, and their hearts are against their parents' arranged marriages."

Mo Xiaohe said to himself while watching, if there is no illusion, how can this kind of anti-secular words be best-selling? No wonder Zhang Xianxian fell in love with his eldest brother Mo Huaiyuan at a glance, completely brainwashed by the words of poor scholars and rich daughters.

Since ancient times, the two families have been close to each other, and they are all at the same height, and they do not fluctuate much, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

If Miss Qianjin marries a poor scholar, if she lives a poor life, let Miss do laundry, cook, feed pigs and chickens, can she do it? The days of poverty will wear out all people's illusions, they can't eat enough, and the people think about how to eat and get warmer, so the men in the village are all from the beginning, because there is no silver, and they have to fight for a goal all their lives.

In other words, if a poor scholar becomes a door-to-door son-in-law, the salted fish turns over, and lives a rich life, he reaches a realm, he has no worries about food and clothing, and he will not be tempted when he sees a warbler and a warbler around him?

The love between the poor scholar and the daughter is not established in essence.

Mo Xiaohe looked at it for a while, and suddenly worried that she was too rational, and when she saw the sadistic part in the middle, shouldn't she cry and look for Gu Zheng and beg her husband for mercy?

Sure enough, in modern times, a female man who can carry ten catties of soybean oil with one hand for a long time, she can't switch freely now.

"Husband, why don't we stop and rest?"

The carriage line is for most of the day, and in a flash, the sun sets, and the distant horizon is rendered with a heavy orange-red sunset. It's dark late in summer, and when you calculate the time, it's already the right time.

"Well, there is a village not far ahead, let's find a family and borrow a stove."

Gu Zheng thought for a moment, Da Yue's taste is heavy, his own lady may not be used to eating, and at night, it is not safe to sleep on the official road, they and his wife find a family, as long as they can park the carriage, they will stay in the carriage at night to shelter from the wind and rain.

After the two discussed, they turned right at the intersection in front of them, and in about a quarter of an hour, they saw the whole picture of the small village.

In summer, the grass grows at the door of every house, and there are people who love cleanliness, planting vines and morning glory, it is the busy time of farming, and the villagers come home late, and every household has just risen to smoke.

Gu Zheng saw that the courtyard at the entrance of the village was relatively large, so he parked the carriage to the side and stood at the door to call someone.

The head of the household is an old man in his fifties, he has a son and a daughter, after the woman got married, he took his wife and eldest son to live in three main houses, his daughter-in-law is diligent and shrewd, I heard that she just borrowed the stove and yard for one night, and gave back the money, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

Borrow the stove, at most use a little oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, it is not worth much, and the rest of the firewood is beaten in the mountains, and it is very cost-effective to make a deal for nothing.

When the family made dinner and vacated the stove, Mo Xiaohe was already hungry, she rolled in the carriage with her stomach covered, and when she saw the red sweet potatoes that the family ate, she also wanted to eat them.

"Big sister, if you don't dislike vulgarity, our family still has it, and it's all grown on our own land."

This is a sweet potato that was born prematurely in Otsuki, and it is sandy and red inside, and it tastes very soft. Sweet potatoes are highly yielding, and only poor families use them to satisfy their hunger, and their families live a life, and they will not have a feeling of stomach acid when they eat a meal occasionally.

"Then you're welcome."

Mo Xiaohe took a coarse porcelain bowl, reciprocated the peach, and gave the family a few pieces of dim sum, she came out and brought a lot, made by the Mo family, sent by Zhang Xianxian, the weather was hot, it couldn't be left for long, and she didn't want to eat too sweet.

"It's too precious."

The old man's eldest daughter-in-law was very happy, and after taking it, she hurriedly put it in the room and shared it with the family in the evening.

For the people in the village, these cakes can only be eaten occasionally, a piece of several yuan, with this spare money, you can buy eggs to replenish your body.

Gu Zheng went out for a trip, and came back with two pheasants in his hand, he just went to the mountains for a turn, and he was lucky, he happened to see two pheasants drinking water, he killed them directly, and cleaned them up by the river, and went to the internal organs.

Two chickens, the husband and wife couldn't finish eating, and sent one as a thank you for using the stove, which made the family smile from ear to ear, and said that they had met a nobleman.

"Husband, what are you going to do at night, stew chicken?"

Mo Xiaohe had just eaten two sweet potatoes, and the sweet potatoes were full, and she was not so hungry now.

"No, it's too hot in summer to drink the soup, so it's better to make a white chopped chicken."

There are all kinds of vegetables at the back of the small courtyard, and the owner said that he can't eat them all at home, so he picks them casually.

Gu Zheng picked a few purple-skinned eggplants, picked two cucumbers, and prepared to use his own meat sauce to make an eggplant sauce.

"Husband, why don't you let me do it?"

The gentleman cooks far away, and the peasant men are all outside the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and they don't go into the stove room, so when they saw the husband and wife, everything was Gu Zheng busy, and their expressions were slightly surprised.

"No, just a while."

Mo Xiaohe can wash vegetables at most, and the stove is not big, the two of them can't move, he is quick with his hands and feet, and he will be ready in a while.

While Gu Zheng was busy with work, the eldest daughter-in-law and Mo Xiaohe had a few words.

"My husband and wife came from Kyoto and headed south."

It is said that wealth is not exposed, the couple are dressed ordinarily, and they don't look like rich people, Mo Xiaohe didn't say too much and leaked his news.

"South, aren't you close to Dawu?"

The eldest daughter-in-law is very interested in the south, looking at Mo Xiaohe's appearance, she praised again and again, saying that the water and soil in the south are good, and it is really a party of water and soil to support a person, which can be described as appropriate with an idiom, Zhong Lingyuxiu.

"Actually, it's not much different."

Mo Xiaohe said a few perfunctory words, who said that the women in the south must be beautiful, but they met her as a beauty.

"That's right, didn't the Zhang butcher who killed pigs in our village buy a daughter-in-law from the south, and that looks ......?"

The mother-in-law pursed her lips, and only half of the words were spoken, but she made the eldest daughter-in-law laugh, and I heard that she had spent money to buy a widow, with a thin face and thick skin, and often wandered around the village when she was full.

Zhang Butcher didn't have a mother-in-law before, and the family didn't grow vegetables, and now the vegetables are planted, and it will take a month or two to eat, and the widow will be able to eat it after this family, and the family will borrow some points, saying good things to coax people, and some are unwilling to give, she will point at the door and scold Huai, saying that people are iron roosters.

This thing, it is a favor to you, it is your duty not to give it, and you will scold people if you don't take advantage of it, which is unreasonable anywhere.

Mo Xiaohe was very depressed, and deeply despised the best widow, which made the people in the village have a worse impression of the women in the south.

"Sister-in-law, your little baby is so well-behaved."

Mo Xiaohe liked the three- or four-year-old little doll very much, tiger-headed, and delicious, and she didn't cry for her father's demand, but kept looking at the direction of the house, her eyes were pitiful, and her big eyes made her heart sprout.

"Well, as soon as you leave, you have to make a fuss, there are no guests at home, you have to pretend."

The eldest daughter-in-law is modest, but between the lines, she can still show her pride. The children in the village are not as obedient as hers, and at the age of three or four, they pee and play with mud all day long, making them dirty all over their bodies.

"The daughter-in-law who was bought by the butcher said that you are rich in the south, and no one wears clothes with patches, is it true?"

The eldest daughter-in-law is very curious, they are close to Kyoto, although there are many rich people in Kyoto, but there are also poor people living in Kyoto, I didn't expect the south to be so rich.

", where are there no poor people?"

Wearing patched clothes doesn't have to be poor. The countrymen work in the fields, sweating like rain, basically a year, the new clothes will be worn off, reluctant to throw away, have to be patched.

The statement that the southerners don't patch is a joke.

"I'll just say, if you are so rich, why do you go to the north to beg for a living, and you don't have to marry a butcher and be beaten all day long."

The Zhang butcher in the village is really not good, killing pigs to earn some silver, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and sometimes taking advantage of the women in the village, because they are bloody and bold, and no one usually dares to offend him, and he can only suffer a dumb loss.

The last time she saw Zhang butcher pinching the buttocks of the village chief's daughter-in-law, her hands were all in there, and she touched it, and the village chief's daughter-in-law endured the humiliation, and then found an opportunity to run away. If you don't run, you'll definitely let that old rascal get hold of it in the end. When encountering such a thing, the woman always suffers, and there is nowhere to say about the suffering.

poked out, the man must have said that he was seduced by the village chief's daughter-in-law, and he said indiscriminate and obscene words, which made people unable to raise their heads.

Now I bought a widow as a continuation, and I don't have to worry about it, and I have a trouble at home for three days and five days, which is really a sin!

Mo Xiaohe thought so, then she could only become strong, which reminded her of her mother, the Li family, the village elders and hooligans in the past, they also took advantage of the absence of their father and wanted to enter the house, and finally were scared away by the woodcutter in Li's hand.
