That day, there was no word all night. "Words * love * first * hair

Early the next morning, Xia Chunchao was combing his hair in the house, and Zhu'er was handing the hairpin comb beside him.

Xia Chunchao looked at the faces of the people in the mirror, evened his face, and said: "There was a mess last night, and I didn't care about many things. Later, you go and talk to your sister-in-law of the Liu family, and ask her to find her men and Zhao Zhuangtou, I have something to order. ”

Zhu'er agreed, and replied: "The girl is pregnant, and it is time to recuperate." It's so easy to get to the country, and the girl doesn't say to rest, but to get busy again. Xia Chun smiled at Wan'er and said, "Seeing that it is the time for the autumn harvest, some things must be decided as soon as possible." ”

While the two were talking, Bao'er poured water and came in from outside, and said: "Young Master Cousin is standing outside the door, can the girl see it" Xia Chunchao was quite surprised, and couldn't help asking: "I have no friendship with him, what is he looking for me to do" Bao'er shook her head and said: "When I went out to pour night incense this morning, I saw Young Master Cousin standing outside." By this time, it had been an hour, and the girl had not seen it."

Xia Chunchao said first: "I don't wear clothes, I haven't combed my hair, how can I see people" said, paused slightly, and said with a smile: "He has been here for an hour, presumably his legs are weak at this time, so tell him to go back first." I'll have to go to the church for breakfast later, and it's not too late to see you then. Bao'er said, "I said the same thing, but the young master said that there are some things to tell the girl in private." In front of the uncle and the third master, it's hard to say. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he was slightly annoyed, and opened his mouth to say: "What kind of crazy thing is this, it must be that he is drunk and hasn't woken up yet, and it doesn't make sense for me to talk to him here, but it's just a relative who hasn't been in contact for many years, and what can he say behind someone's back, isn't it that he thinks that I am now away from home, and the weak girl lives alone, so I can't be bullied."

The two girls were annoyed when they saw her, and they didn't dare to respond.

Xia Chunchao didn't say much, hastily tied up his hair, put the comb on the table, and said after a while: "Go out and tell him, I'm not happy, and I don't have time to see him." If he wants to, he just stands, and I don't see him. ”

Bao'er is honest in the end, and she doesn't dare to open this mouth. Seeing this, Zhu'er said, "Then I'll go." So saying, he went out for a walk.

Only then did he step out of the door, and sure enough, he saw a young man standing under the porch, wearing a green cloth robe, with a bun on his head, and a pair of half-new Fushou gray cloth shoes under his feet, which was a pair of brocade-edged elastic ink socks, which was much more refreshing than yesterday's sloppy appearance.

Zhu'er looked at it for a while, and said secretly in her heart: It looks like a scholar's dress, and there is also a little bit of gentleness, how can I turn things upside down in my heart, although I think like this, in the end, it is the old man's relative, and it is not easy to offend, so I stepped forward and said a thousand blessings, and said the words of my young lady.

Tan Yongchu was not surprised, raised his eyebrows, and said: "I came to see my cousin sincerely, how can my cousin shirk it like this, but it is not as good as when I first came to the capital last year and met in the city." As he spoke, he said, "Presumably because I came back last night and abruptly surprised my cousin, so my cousin was angry." I'm coming here today to make amends to my cousin in person, and I'm going to ask the girl to come in and talk about it. ”

Zhu'er complained in her heart: I knew today, what did you do yesterday to make the girl angry, and now you are running to talk again. He said, "Young Master, it's not that the girl refuses to see you." The girl was pregnant, and it was very bad to get up in the morning. Don't say it's you, it's the uncle and the third master, they are here, and they don't know if they see it. Go back first, lest the girl become impatient and angry. You are all masters, why do you want to make it difficult for me to be caught in it"

Tan Yongchu heard such words, and he was not strong, nodded and turned around.

Zhu'er also turned around and went back to the room, entered the door and said, "Girl, the young master has gone." ”

Xia Chun's vigor did not fade, and when he heard this, he only nodded lightly.

Zhu'er said again: "He said that he came to compensate the girl, and said that he abruptly surprised the girl last night, and asked the girl to take care of it." When I look at him like that, I feel ridiculous in my heart, a big man is so unhappy. Xia Chunchao was noncommittal, and Bao'er interjected on the side: "This young master looks very gentle, and his words and deeds are also a bit like a scholar's style, why did he do such a thing yesterday, which is really ridiculous." Even in the past, when my uncle was at home, no matter how drunk he ate, he had never been so rude. As soon as she spoke, she felt speechless and said, "Girl, I said the wrong thing."

Xia Chunchao didn't answer this, and only asked Zhu'er: "Go and talk to Liu Dayou's family" Zhu'er replied: "Not yet." Xia Chunchao reprimanded: "I ordered it down early in the morning, but I saw you in and out of this good way, I haven't said it yet, I don't know what you're busy with here" Zhu'er didn't dare to reply, so she stepped aside.

After a long time like this, Xia Gongyan suddenly came in from outside, and said head-on: "I heard that my sister is a little uncomfortable or something?"

Xia Chunchao saw his brother coming in, hurriedly got up, and asked Zhu'er to take the stool, while saying with a smile: "Why did my brother come early in the morning, I have to go back to the city today, my brother doesn't clean up first" Xia Gongyan sat down and said with concern: "I'm going to go, I met the cousin of the Tan family in the hall, and he told me that you are unwell and can't even come to eat." I was afraid that there were bumps on the road yesterday, and you had a tire gas, so I hurried over to take a look. I've sent someone to get a doctor, but it's going to be a little while. As he spoke, he sighed again: "This country is not so good, and there is no decent doctor." I went to the city to please, but I couldn't come for a while. ”

Xia Chunchao secretly said in his heart: This person is used to learning to speak with his tongue, I didn't see him, so he told his brother that this thought turned around, and he was angry in his heart. In front of his brother, he had to say energetically: "It's not bad, it's just that I'm tired." In fact, my brother doesn't have to work hard to mobilize the people, I just came to give birth to these stories, so squeamish, I can pay it back in the future."

Xia Gong didn't follow and said, "What do you say, you are pregnant with a child, but you are not playing." Call the doctor to take a look, it's okay. If there's something really bad, it's better to be prepared. When Xia Chunchao heard this, he had to tell the previous story and said, "It's just my excuse, and there's really nothing wrong with it." ”

When Xia Gongyan heard this, a stone in his heart just landed, and said: "It's good that you have nothing to do, but the person has been sent away, and there is no need to call him back." Later, the doctor will come and check your pulse, which can be regarded as asking for peace. Xia Chunchao saw his brother say this, so he gave up, and complained instead: "I didn't know that this cousin was so embarrassed." What did you say about the way you looked last night, and you don't care if you get up early this morning, you just run to my yard, and you don't care about avoiding suspicion. At the beginning, his father took him in, saying that he wanted him to study in peace so that he could participate in this year's Enko. But look at his appearance yesterday, where is he like a scholar, but he is afraid that his words and deeds on weekdays are very unprovoked, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all involved, how can such a person be at home and study with him, wouldn't he be abducted by him?"

Xia Gongyan said with a smile: "Sister, this is too worried, a man's family goes out to visit friends, and it is all if he gets drunk for a while." My brother-in-law has been at home less these years, and my sister must not know. It's not a big deal, when he lives in the city, he is very polite and polite on weekdays. Even his father was full of praise for him, and when he wanted to come to the country, he didn't agree at first. ”

Xia Chunchao was very unimpressed, and said: "It's really as my brother said, why did he come to my woman's residence early in the morning to be cousins, and he should avoid it." Xia Gongyan said with a smile: "This rural place doesn't have so much attention. What's more, the country people are just to avoid taboos, and where is there a place where Yongchu must have stayed for a while, and it is impossible to say whether he will follow the customs of the country. are all close relatives, and my sister is still better to take care of them. He was the child of his aunt's family, who married far away at an early age and had little contact with his father. For his aunt's sake, his father took care of him a lot. Besides, he has lived in this country for a long time, and has never had any trouble. When my sister came, she was going to drive him away, which inevitably hurt the affection of relatives, and my father was afraid that he would also be embarrassed. ”

Xia Chunchao was very unhappy in his heart, but seeing that his brother had said it to such an extent, he couldn't insist on expelling it, so he had to say: "Since my brother said this, then let's leave it for the time being." In the future, if he has any more inappropriate words and deeds, I will definitely drive him out. The owner of this house is me, and he is a guest with me, and I don't recognize anyone if he breaks my rules. Even if my aunt wants to blame, I can't count my father. ”

Xia Gongyan said with a smile: "My sister has been married for a few years, but she has become more and more assertive. Since your father has given you this house, you have become the Lord of nature. Then he said, "After breakfast, I will go back to the city." You and Brother Xing'er live here, and if anything happens, just send someone into the city to say it, and don't see it outside. I know my sister is capable, but you are a woman after all, and there are many scoundrels and ruffians in this world who bully and weak. Xia Chunchao agreed with a smile and said: "Brother is also too worried, I have also been out for so many years, and when I was in the Lu family, I ran around every day for a living, and I have never seen anything" Xia Gongyan sighed: "It's not like that, although the Lu family is a bastard, they are still a family in the end." Now that you're alone here, Brother Xing'er is young, I can't rest assured. I originally said that I would stay with you for a few days, but there are many business things in the city, and my father can't take care of it alone, and your sister-in-law is restless. ”

Xia Chunchao hurriedly said: "Family matters are important, my brother should go back." It's not a few steps from the city, but if there is anything, send someone away, and my brother doesn't have to remember it. ”

The brother and sister gossiped a few more words, and the family came to invite them to the church for dinner.

Xia Chunchao didn't want to see Tan Yongchu, so he took the food to the room, and only Xia Gongxing got up alone.

Bao'er came in with breakfast, and Zhu'er waited on the side, and said, "The girl is pregnant, and she is getting more and more angry, so she has a seizure against the uncle." The anger hurts the body, and the girl still cherishes some of her body. Xia Chunchao scolded with a smile: "Little hoof, I just said a few more words about you, and I couldn't help but be wronged and chattered." ”

Zhu'er pouted and said: "I'm afraid that the girl will say that I am a girl's life, even if the girl beats me every day, I don't have to say it." It's just that the girl always has to take care of the one in her belly. ”

Xia Chunchao heard this, sighed, and said: "I don't know where I don't know, but I don't know what happened every day, and I won't be at peace for a day, so how can people bear you from being angry with me" Bao'er said on the side: "Fortunately, we finally came over, and no one will make the girl angry in the future." Xia Chunchao snorted and said, "Besides, who would have thought that there would be such a living treasure here in my father and brother, I am a lone woman, what is it to live with my cousin to chew my tongue for nothing, although I don't plan to marry again, I'm not afraid of those, but this is not a good thing in the end" As he spoke, he ate breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhu'er went to call Liu Dayou's Hun family Niu to come over.

Niu entered the door and stood respectfully on the ground, bowing his head and listening to orders.

Xia Chunchao sent Bao'er a stool to her, and asked with a smile: "This is the time of the autumn harvest, and my father didn't tell me when he gave me the title deed, what are the ten acres of land planted?" Niu replied with a smile: "Two acres of land are planted with wheat, the rest are soybeans, sorghum, vegetables and vegetables, and two acres are paddy fields, planted with rice." Xia Chunchao smiled again: "These things are going to be shot down in the autumn, you estimate, about how much grain can be produced" Niu Shi snapped his fingers and said: "Those two acres of wheat are good seeds, not to mention 1,600 catties of wheat." I don't dare to say that soybeans, sorghum, vegetables and vegetables are enough to eat for a year. The paddy field is dry this year, but it can also lay 600 catties of rice. ”

Xia Chunchao asked again: "This is to remove the sharecroppers' share" Niu replied: "I have been there, and it is all a net harvest." Xia Chunchao secretly thought to himself: I never expected that so much grain could be produced in the field in a year, and I didn't have to worry about eating. After thinking about it in my heart, I smiled and said, "Then I don't know what to plant in the field next year."

Niu replied with a smile: "Originally, according to the master's meaning, it was still the same as before." But now that she has returned to the girl, she still listens to the girl's orders. ”

Xia Chunchao said: "Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, and there are many good years in a row, so I don't have to worry about firewood and rice, I want to plant a few other crops." After that, he asked Bao'er to take a pen and paper, and said that Bao'er remembered one thing, and remembered a total of seven or eight things, and gave them to Niu's.

Niu Shi listened and was very surprised, and opened his mouth and said: "Girl, these peanuts, peppers, and peppercorns are fine, what do you do with planting pine trees, and those flowers." If the girl wants to see it, then on the mountain behind it, the mountains are full of wild flowers. All year round, all year round, you don't need to plant it."

Xia Chunchao smiled and said, "You don't know, these are all useful." Take it yourself, with my name written on it, and I won't blame you for growing it in the future. Zhu'er also said on the side: "The girl has said everything, and the sister-in-law will do it." It's all the master's command, so why bother to be stubborn."

Niu couldn't, so he had to accept the paper and retire. When he went out of the gate, he couldn't stop thinking to himself: "This red flower and green grass should neither be eaten nor drunk, and this rich lady planted it, and when her life was comfortable, she became a moth." ”
