Dong Ping hugged his sister in his arms and replied word by word, "Sister, you still have me!" I'm still worrying you all the time, but I'll grow up soon! ”

The sister and brother leaned together, crying silently, quietly feeling the warmth of each other's chests. A snow-white letter paper was lying silently on the stall, on which a half-opened hibiscus flower was drawn, and there was only one line of words under the flower.

Thinking of his wife sleepless at night, looking forward to reunion!

When she got up early that day, Mrs. Cao could hear the magpies quacking in the willow trees outside the yard, so she said while serving porridge to her daughter during dinner, "Is your sister-in-law coming back, why do I keep listening to the magpies?" ”

Second Sister Cao smiled and responded, "Mother, if you are worried about your sister-in-law, I will accompany you to the orchard to have a look in a while." ”

Mrs. Cao raised her hand and waved at her daughter, but in the end she was still reluctant to fight, and finally glared at her and said angrily, "If you want to go play, just say it, what are you pulling me for?" It's your sister-in-law who pampered you, and the good girl doesn't do needlework at home, and she wants to run out every day. ”

After she finished speaking, she shouted to the old man who bowed his head and drank porridge, and complained, "You know how to eat, and you won't help me discipline my daughter." ”

Old man Cao smiled and said, "Our daughter can go if she wants, there is no interest in the circle, if she can really learn her sister-in-law's three-point ability, we don't have to worry about it in this life." ”

Mrs. Cao smacked her lips, thought about it and said, "That's the same reason, then I'll pick up the eggs I saved and carry them to the orchard in a while." In case Sister Rong comes back in the next few days, she always has to eat a bowl of poached eggs when she enters the house. ”

Old man Cao nodded, his eyes looked out along the wide open carved door, just to see the neat yard clearly, so his heart became more and more open, and when he lowered his head to drink porridge, he felt that the old woman's craftsmanship today was really good.

Second Sister Cao was confined at home for more than half a month, and now she is finally free, and she can't wait to fly out of the house immediately. After eating, she picked up the dishes and chopsticks and urged her mother to go to the orchard quickly. Mrs. Cao happily changed into a new dress, and wanted to bring a full set of golden-headed noodles, but was stopped by her daughter when she was a child.

"Mother, my sister-in-law said that Xia Peiyu wore gold in winter, you should be careful to go to the orchard and make people laugh."

"Really?" Mrs. Cao was a little reluctant to put down the golden hairpin, and responded, "Then forget it, go back and remind me to ask your sister-in-law for a hosta." ”

"Mother, how are you..."Second Sister Cao frowned, stomped her feet and regretted that she shouldn't have forgotten the greedy bad temper of the old lady.

As a result, Mrs. Cao laughed and said, "You girl, why can't you even hear your mother's jokes?" Don't worry, my mother has a count in her heart. As long as your sister-in-law gives me a grandson, I will buy her hostas. ”

Second Sister Cao smiled again and responded, "I want a little nephew too." ”

The two of them laughed and carried a basket full of eggs and went out to the orchard, and the lotus flowers in the garden have almost all bloomed in the four seasons recently, and the light pink or snow-white flowers are reflected in the green lotus leaves from a distance, which is very beautiful. In addition, there are countless gossip from Kyoto, and the idlers in Qingxian County are more happy to gather here to drink a glass of wine, taste side dishes, enjoy the scenery, and chat about gossip, and the business of the orchard is naturally much more prosperous.

Sister-in-law Liu was busy in the back kitchen with a few women, and suddenly heard that Mrs. Cao was coming, and she was startled, and she was thinking about how to send this big Buddha away. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cao saw that the restaurant was full of people, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped with the chores.

She was stunned and didn't know what to do, and a group of six or seven carriages entered the garden gate, and Fu Zile ran in and said, "Madame has gone home." ”

Sister-in-law Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly invited Mrs. Cao and Second Sister Cao to go up the mountain. Dong Rong was taken care of by everyone very well along the way, and there was no tired look on her face, but Mrs. Cao still kept shouting that she had lost weight while holding her hand. In the end, he told her to drink a bowl of egg water every morning in the future, which is the most nourishing for the body.

Dong Rong listened to it with a weak heart, and was a little worried and didn't know how to tell the old lady about her leaving for Kyoto tomorrow. Later, Zizhu was still clever, under the pretext of reporting things, going back and forth five or six times, and Mrs. Cao was afraid of delaying her daughter-in-law's house, so she said goodbye and left. But before leaving, he still left the second sister Cao as his eyes and ears, and was specially responsible for supervising his daughter-in-law's "supplement".

It's a pity that Second Sister Cao was bought by her sister-in-law to be a little traitor. At noon on the second day, when Mrs. Cao heard that her daughter-in-law was on the road to Beijing again, the carriage was already dozens of miles away from Deqing County. Needless to say, Second Sister Cao took a few "two-finger Zen" hits from the old lady. She honestly let the old lady get angry, and then she took out a jasper hairpin and inserted it into the old lady's bun, and said with a smile, "Mother, my sister-in-law is not going out to play, she is worried about my brother." If we can bring my brother back with us this time, our family..."

"What are we in our family? He is now the young master of a rich and noble family, and his surname is no longer Cao. Mrs. Cao sighed as she spoke, and she was not so happy to even get the hosta.

Second Sister Cao couldn't see the old lady's appearance, so she hurriedly remedied, "I don't care about that, my sister-in-law went to Kyoto this time, and when I come back, I may be able to hug my little nephew." Mother, what do you say is a good name for your little nephew? ”

When it came to the eldest grandson who had never been born, Mrs. Cao immediately became happy, and said proudly, "The big name gives your father a headache, and I can take the little name, so I will call it Brother An." I don't want him to have anything else, I just hope that he will be safe and secure for the rest of his life, and pass on the incense of our Cao family. ”

"Don't worry, Brother An must be a smart person, maybe he will take the top exam in the future. At that time, the mother will be the old lady! ”

Mrs. Cao was coaxed by the bright future portrayed by her daughter, and turned to wear an apron and go to cook.

She turned her anger into joy here, but some people were so angry that they jumped to their feet. As soon as Niu heard that Dong Rong had returned to the orchard last night, he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly over immediately. But since she has something to ask, she must always be prepared.

Therefore, this morning, she finally took her "ragged" children and carried a basket containing a few vegetables and melons to the Four Seasons Garden.

Niu's tried his best to endure so that he didn't scold, Dong Ting and Dong Yi were also extremely disappointed, originally hoping to get more edible food from the cheap sister, and even go back with a basket full of silver, but I didn't expect it to be empty.

In order to save their stomachs for snacks and melons and fruits, the mother and son didn't eat in the morning, and they were a little hungry all the way at this time. Niu took the lead and was about to go to the orchard, thinking that under the banner of his mother's family, how could he eat at the mixed table. No, Liu's sister-in-law got the news early and gave a death order not to let the little girl let the Niu family enter the door.

Niu was naturally furious, but no matter how she spilled, the little guy just refused to let go. She wanted to do it, but out of nowhere, the little guy found a wooden stick as thick as an arm. She immediately dispelled the idea of breaking in, and retreated to find the Cao family.

Mrs. Cao was smashed by their mother and son last time, and she didn't wait for them to apologize, how could she treat each other warmly now? Without even waiting for them to explain their intentions, he brought a basin of cold water and poured them cold.

The Niu family had to scold again, and the door of the Cao family was already closed tightly. The mother and son saw more than a dozen villagers standing in the distance and watching the excitement, and they were even more furious, and directly took the vegetable melons in the basket and smashed them to the gate of Cao's house.

It's a pity that Mrs. Cao was not annoyed at all, and even shouted inside, if the door paint fell, she would find the Dong family to pay for the silver.

The word "silver" is the death hole of the Niu family, and now the Dong family can only maintain a family of four without starvation, not to mention the silver at home, even a few hundred copper coins can't be taken out. In a fit of rage, she threw the remaining two melons on the stone steps, and then slipped away with her children.

Mrs. Cao successfully sent away the plague god, proudly opened the courtyard door, and pouted and scolded while picking up the broken vegetable melons, "What a ruined mother-in-law, a good vegetable melon is just to feed the pigs, you have to fall and play!" ”

Second Sister Cao hid in the door and covered her mouth and snickered, for the first time, she felt that the "stingy" old lady was so cute...

In the middle of summer, Kyoto seems to be three points hotter than anywhere else, and the tall and heavy walls block out the mischievous cool breeze, successfully turning the castle into a sweltering furnace. But the people of Kyoto are used to it every year. On the streets, the vendors who should be doing business are still shouting loudly, the pedestrians who should be in a hurry are still walking with their heads bowed, and those rich and idle old men are naturally sitting in the teahouse as in the past, calling for a plate of cut cold melon or a pot of tea, shaking a fan, and talking about new things.

Of course, the latest news is still inseparable from the son of the king of Zhongshan. It is said that this prince is very fond of farming because he grew up in a peasant family. Recently, Xu is idle again, and he actually completely changed the courtyard where the emperor rewarded him a few days ago into a farmer's yard, not to mention the grape trellis, and even pulled out all the precious flowers in the garden and planted a vegetable field instead.

When the news first came out, some people didn't believe it, but it was soon confirmed that it was definitely not a rumor. Because the craftsmen who went in and out of the courtyard to work had confirmed this, and some vegetable farmers patted their chests and said that the prince had bought his eggplant peppers and seedlings together.

So, everyone in Kyoto secretly said that the prince of this world may have some strange brains, and the sons of rich and noble families like to collect beauties, some like gambling cockfights, some like antique calligraphy and painting, and I really haven't heard of anyone who likes to grow vegetables.

However, some people were very happy to hear the news, or at least there was no opposition on the surface. The emperor sent his cronies and eunuchs to the courtyard for a walk, and on the second day he rewarded more than a dozen carts of good jade, and asked his nephew to build a jade pavilion in the vegetable garden, so that he would come and taste the vegetables grown by his nephew when he had free time.

Now no one dares to speak ill of the prince of Zhongshan, and even many ministers have changed their gardens into vegetable gardens one after another, I don't know if they are also looking forward to leaving a good impression of honesty to the emperor.

In short, the annex of the Zhongshan Palace, in the attention and discussion of everyone, was finally rebuilt. Many people are looking forward to the prince of Zhongshan to invite guests to go in for a walk, but they didn't hear any movement after waiting and waiting, so they could only say a few words such as what is beautiful in the farm yard.

(At least one shift earlier, take my sister's child to the injection for a while, gastrointestinal cold, I guess I don't have time to code words anymore, I'm sorry, I will continue to watch two more tomorrow, thank you for your support, Mo Da, come on!) ）
