277 Country Days
Mingzhu took the letter and happily went to find the prince's wife, Ping, and said, "Sister-in-law, Yueyao invited me to go to Beizhuang, and I will go tomorrow." Sister-in-law, it's also quite boring in the mansion, I want to go to Bezhuang with me, and I'll come back when the summer is over. My brother said some time ago that I should go and play with Yueyao, and this time it was just right. ”
Ping was a little embarrassed, "Madame is afraid that she will not agree." "In fact, every time Mingzhu goes out, the Bai family is unwilling, and he doesn't even want Mingzhu to go to the palace more. This also led to the fact that Mingzhu rarely entered the palace.
Mingzhu said: "It's okay, I'll go tell my mother." Sister-in-law, you send someone to talk to your brother! "Although my brother agreed before, I still need to tell my brother if I want to go outside for a month or two.
Mingzhu returned to the house and asked Bai Yidao, "What do you say we want to bring?" ”
Bai Yi thought for a while and said, "Bring more clothes, the rest is casual." "Bai Yi's injury is no, it has been healed in half a month, and it has healed now.
Mingzhu thought for a moment, "No, I have to bring some books." When the time came, Yueyao went to paint, no one talked to me, and I read again. ”
Mingzhu immediately bypassed the library of the Hou Mansion, searched for a long time, and collected more than 30 books, all of which were some travelogues or books like books. Of course, there is absolutely no book here about Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng's dating for life, and the books here are all anecdotes or myths.
The annex of Mafu is located on the back of the capital, and the courtyard is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land next to it, which is an excellent place. On weekdays, Ma Chengteng will invite a few friends to play in the other courtyard.
Not far from Farewell Village, Yueyao asked Yahuan to open the curtain. Yueyao had long been accustomed to such a scene, but Mingzhu was the first time to come to Zhuangzi in the countryside.
Yue Yao said with a smile: "There is a big lake next to the courtyard, and I will go fishing with you when I have my spare time." Yue Shao also heard Ma Chengteng say that there are fish in the lake, and you can eat fish when you catch them.
Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that fishing is very laborious? ”
Yueyao made up her mind to let Mingzhu go fishing, Yueyao felt that Mingzhu's temperament was too impetuous, and she still needed to sharpen it, and when this impetuousness was removed, she would act safely, and practicing words and fishing was the best way to cultivate one's self-cultivation. Of course, Yueyao didn't worry about whether Mingzhu could sit still.
Ma Chengteng's house in the other courtyard comes and goes from time to time, and he doesn't need to clean it up, and the maid-in-law can live in after coming in and cleaning up, and it doesn't make a lot of trouble, the two still live together as if they are on the mountain, so it is convenient to whisper.
Mingzhu took a deep breath and said, "It's more comfortable here than the capital, and even the air is so fresh." ”
Yue Yao smiled: "Well, yes, the air in the mountains is very fresh. ”
Mingzhu is used to even living a hard life on the mountain, and the life in the courtyard is naturally not a problem, eating the dishes that have just been dug out of the soil, he thinks it is very delicious.
Yue Yao smiled: "You are fresh, you will not feel it after eating it for two days." ”
At night, the sound of frogs outside rises and falls, and the insects chirp from time to time, making it a beautiful music.
It's a pity that this sound is not a beautiful piece of music for Mingzhu, but noise. Mingzhu got up from the bed when she heard the quacking sound outside, and said, "Yueyao, it's so noisy, I can't sleep!" ”
Yueyao said: "It's also very common to have frog cries in the countryside, if you can't sleep, just read a book, and don't care about those frogs when you're tired." ”
Xiang Wei interjected next to him: "Actually, field chicken is also a very delicious food, or I will have one tomorrow." ”
Yue Yao smiled: "Yes, I will take the loach to boil the soup tomorrow, I heard that it is very nourishing." ”
Yue Yao opened her mouth when she heard this, and she didn't speak again.
Yueyao is so busy every day, if there is no accident, she will sleep on the bed, but when she lies down and looks at Mingzhu with wide eyes, she smiles: "What, still can't sleep?" ”
Mingzhu actually has a lot of things to say to Yueyao, but those words are so embarrassing that Mingzhu doesn't know how to speak.
Yue Yao smiled: "Are you still worried about Ning Lixuan's affairs?" Yueyao said annoyed, not sad, this word was used very well, and it went deep into Mingzhu's heart.
Mingzhu nodded and said, "Well, I've been very unwilling during this time. Yueyao, why do you think my vision is like this? How can I be deceived by them? Yueyao, sometimes I wonder if it weren't for you, if I really married to the Guogong Mansion, would I have been in the country for the rest of my life? ”
Yue Yao grabbed Mingzhu's hand and said, "They have a plan, where can they be prepared?" I was a bystander, so I could see it clearly. In fact, you don't need to be annoyed, if you don't know Ning Lixuan's nature, he is indeed a very good candidate for a husband. Look at him, he looks like a human, is very good at pretending, and has a family background, such a person is naturally popular with girls. You should also know that Ning Lixuan is one of the four princes of the capital. ”
Mingzhu was surprised, "You used to say bad things about him, but this is the first time you have said good things about him." ”
Yue Yao said with a smile: "I spared no effort to say bad things about Ning Lixuan before, and I also hope that you can awaken. Now that he has nothing to do with you, let's take a fair and impartial look at and evaluate this person. Mingzhu, nothing to be annoyed about. If you knew that he was so dirty inside, you would definitely not like him before, right? ”
Mingzhu nodded, if he knew that this person was so hypocritical and shameless, he would rather like a dog than this person.
Yue Yao smiled: "That's right, if you keep worrying about this matter, it's really a waste of time, if you have this time, it's better to read more books and do more other things." ”
Mingzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yueyao, in fact, I also found what I like to do, but I can't get on the stage." ”
Yueyao was a little surprised, she had never heard of Xiang Wei mention this. Yue Yao smiled: "What do you like?" It's not on the table yet. "As long as it's not out of line, it's easy to say anything.
Mingzhu whispered, "I like to make good food." "To put it simply, Mingzhu loves to eat food and loves to cook.
Yue Yao said happily: "The people take food as the sky, this good thing, how can you say that it can't be on the stage, I don't know about others, I am the first to support you." ”
Mingzhu was very happy: "Yueyao, don't you really think it's a bad thing to like cooking?" Don't you think it's hard to get into the halls of elegance? ”
Yue Yao said with a smile: "It's not that you want to be a cook, it's just that you like cooking, you like to study food, what's the matter, you can do it if you want, what's the matter, think, you don't get in the way of others, what do you feel embarrassed to do." When you develop a lot of delicacies in the future, we will compile and publish them in a booklet so that everyone in the world can eat the delicacies you make. Everyone will be grateful to you then. ”
A bright smile flashed across Mingzhu's face, "Okay." ”
Yueyao felt that she could turn to Yuehuan for help in this regard. Yuehuan said that the dishes were all recipes, and Yueyao believed that Yuehuan must have many ways to make flavorful snacks in her hands.
At noon on the second day, the two of them ate the noisy frog and loach soup. Mingzhu was so spicy that tears came out, but she still had to eat, and she drank a bowl of loach soup after eating.
After eating, Mingzhu said, "It's delicious." ”
Yue Yao just shook her head and smiled, but didn't say anything. In the afternoon, Yueyao took Mingzhu to the lake to fish.
The lake next to the courtyard is only more than ten acres large, Mingzhu felt a pity when he saw it, and said: "Why don't you raise lotus flowers in such a big lake?" Raising lotus flowers can not only collect lotus flowers, but also sell lotus roots, what a good thing! ”
Yue Yao snorted and laughed: "Then how many lotus roots do the lotus flowers in that lake in your mansion harvest every year!" "This lake belongs to the owner, where can the surrounding people grow lotus here, and this lake is mainly for fish farming, responsible for the master of Mafu to eat, raising lotus roots, it is not good to raise fish.
The two put down the fishing rod, and Mingzhu said, "I don't know how many fish I can catch today?" ”
Xiang Wei said on the side: "The fish in the lake are easy to catch, but the fish in the river are not easy to catch!" "The fish in the lake are dead, but the fish in the river are weird.
It's a pity that Xiang Wei's words finally hit Mingzhu, because she waited for a long time before she caught a fish, and it was only as big as two fingers. As for Yueyao, she was holding a book next to her to read, and she didn't know when she had eaten the bait.
Mingzhu watched Yue Yao pick up the bait hook again, and couldn't help but laugh, "Yue Yao, what kind of fishing are you!" The bait is always eaten up. ”
Yueyao said: "Fishing is about calmness, you can't catch fish like this, and you will be scared away if you take the bait."
After Yueyao finished speaking, she let go of the book in her hand, quietly stood aside, and when the fishing rod moved, she immediately lifted it up and caught a carp weighing about half a catty.
Mingzhu smiled, and seriously started fishing according to what Mingzhu said, and soon caught a one-pound grass carp, "We eat fish soup at night." ”
Since she started fishing, Mingzhu has liked this activity, but Yueyao often accompanies her. Ten days after arriving in Beizhuang, Bai Yi said when Mingzhu went out to bathe: "Girl, Ning Shizi has also come here, he is here to find Mingzhu." ”
Yue Yao flashed a hint of disgust and said, "What's the matter? "It's not that I swore that I wouldn't marry, what would I do.
A touch of anger flashed in Bai Yi's eyes, the prince didn't do it now, but it was just because of some things, and when the prince did it, the people who believed in the Guogong Mansion would know that it hurt. Bai Yi told Yue Yao about the current situation of the Guogong Mansion, "The Ningguo Mansion is declining day by day, and the Ningguo Mansion is also being squeezed out of the first-class elites. Ning Guogong wanted Ning Lixuan to marry my girl, just hoping to get the help of the Hou Mansion and gain power to return to the original circle.
Yue Yao also wondered why the Ning Guo Mansion wanted to marry Mingzhu in the past, it turned out that it was because of this, and sneered: "Do they think that people in the world are stupid, just they are smart people." "When you are a bitch, you still want to set up an archway, it's not disgusting.
