The next day, when the fourth master left, he still took the drawings of the pot plow and tortured the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works. After three years of personal conquest by the emperor, in fact, the situation of recultivation in various places is not very good, and the middle-aged laborers have been drawn to fight, and it would be good to have five out of ten households that have returned.

Cultivated land is done by the elderly and women, so it is important to be able to save manpower.

The idea of the kettle plough is very good, but there is a problem with the design. But Su Su is a deep boudoir little woman who has never even seen a wheat, and it is good that she can come up with a pot and plow.

The fourth master left satisfied, and did not come back at noon, but asked Su Peisheng to bring back two baskets of cherries and a box of rubies from outside, saying that they were brought back by overseas merchants.

The cherries are very beautiful, Li Wei asked Su Peisheng and said that Fujin and the children in the front yard had it, so he asked the jade bottle to wash a basin first, and after leaving two days' amount, the rest was sent to Eunuch Liu, and asked him to make jam or preserved fruit.

Rubies are cherry-sized, but in fact gemstones are not used in jewelry these days. The kind of cut jishu of later generations is not available now, and all the gems are black and do not shine at all. The transparency haode gemstone can be used by craftsmen to grind and inlay, so this box of gemstones can be used as a treasure by Li Wei, and merchants can give it away casually, which is not rare.

Li Wei held the gem and sighed, science and technology are the first productive forces, and after appreciating it, it still makes people put it away.

In the afternoon, before the children came back, Zhang Desheng from the study came, and this time he sent Jiangnan last year's satin. This is considered an internal product, don't look at it as last year, what was sent to the palace last year, the emperor did not reward people at all. There are only a few dozen horses that the fourth master got here, and they are all popular goods, which belong to everyone and he also has them.

Special-grade product, the emperor left himself to make and reward the young concubines.

Zhang Desheng said with a smile: "This was brought back by Mr. Dai, and it was said that it was leaked out of the hands of the people under the Weaving Bureau, and all the tributes that came up last year were left in the palace." ”

This Mr. Dai has often heard the name since last year, no one knows what he is doing, he often runs back and forth between the south and the north, Li Wei only knows that the fourth master is letting people run the north and south goods, the south goods are sold in the north, and the north goods are sold in the south. He doesn't open a shop, it's a bit like doing trade. Naturally, there is a lot of money to make, and I heard the fourth master mention that he bought two mountains of wasteland last year.

I didn't plant the wasteland if I bought it, I just took the children out to run horses. She also went with her a few times, and the fourth master pointed to her with a horsewhip, which was his land, she nodded blankly, in fact, she couldn't see how big his land was.

She originally thought that Mr. Dai was a businessman, but Zhang Desheng and others called him 'Mr', which is different from the modern era when anyone can call Mr. Scholars don't know how to do business, so she doesn't understand which way this Mr. Dai is.

In fact, she also found that since the middle of last year, the fourth master has probably mixed quite well outside. There is no long sigh in the house before, he is very busy every day, and the most important thing is that there are more people who give him gifts.

The things she could get her hands on were getting more and more varied. She even had a mercury mirror now, a modern glass mirror, and when she saw for the first time a goose-egg-shaped glass mirror embedded in the ebony frame, which reflected her current face, she was so frightened that she immediately closed the mirror.

The fourth master laughed beside him, opened it for her, and said, "Scared? It was brought by an Italian merchant, and it was clearly illuminated. Seeing that her face was pale, she hugged her arms and coaxed: "Okay, if you don't look at it, you won't look at it." I was shocked when I saw it. ”

Li Wei covered her chest, her heart was still beating for a long time.

When she was seen in the mirror, her first feeling turned out to be: monster!

From the time she wore it, she took pictures of the bronze mirror, although she could see it clearly, but it may be that the ancient mirror gave her more ancient feeling, she didn't react to the person in the mirror since she was a child, at most she rarely looked in the mirror, and she didn't like to look in the mirror when she combed her hair.

But the mercury glass mirror suddenly pulled her back to modern times, and she shone it, but the person inside was another person's other face.

Li Wei put away the mercury mirror, which represents the progress of the times, and still used the original bronze mirror. After the fourth master knew that she even asked Zhao Quanbao to go to Huangjue Temple to burn incense for her, he comforted her and said: "I didn't expect you to be afraid of being like this, don't be afraid, that's nothing." Saying that, let people find the mercury mirror and take it outside to smash it, and when she heard a noise outside, she coaxed her: "Look, it's okay if you smash it." ”

In this way, she was still unsettled for half a month.

She couldn't help but wonder, is she a person or a ghost? Later, the fourth master asked the Jueercha clan to come to see her, and when she saw the mother in this life, she had to live a new life by herself, which was indeed a personal reality.

In the house, after setting a date for the children to plant pox, the fourth master specially took them to run horses before this. I also want to take them to relax before the pox.

A group of children are all older, and they have been riding horses for two or three years, except for the second elder brother, who also has to be taken with them, Da Gege and Er Gege ran away as soon as they rode up. Li Wei followed the fourth master, and the two walked side by side, trotting forward by the horse.

Walked to a hillside, and the fourth master asked people to camp here. Although I only came out to play for half a day, I also brought two cars of various things. The two of them went out for a little more turn, and when they came back, the tent had been set up, and the bonfire had been raised, and roast sheep were set up on it.

The sheep were brought in the dining room, and there was no game to hunt in the vicinity in May, and the guards were armed with bows and arrows, but that was to guard against the Assassins.

After dismounting, let the horse be taken away, the fourth master took her hand and sat in front of the tent, he took out a small waist knife, cut a plate of meat at the hind leg of the roasted haode sheep and handed it to her, and said, "I haven't taken you to the outside of the plug, now make up for it." ”

Li Wei took a delicate and delicate little golden knife and forked it to eat, he continued to cut, cut off a piece and ate it directly in his mouth, without even using a plate. Every time she sees him eat meat like this, it makes her feel that 'he is really the fourth master'. It's special, it's more strange than being in bed in the house.

The two of them ate almost a leg before the children returned.

They sat around the campfire, and the eunuch cut the meat for them, and the fourth master, who sat at the top, drank two glasses of mare's milk wine, and pulled her up to go for a walk. Walking to the leeward place, he could barely hear the children talking by the campfire, and he said, "When they come back safely this time, I will ask you to be sealed." ”

"I originally wanted to wait a little longer, you Ama has just arrived at the Ministry now, and the brothers are too young to ......" he sighed, Li Wei didn't know what to say, should he excuse himself, but listening to what he meant, it seems that there is something else here?

"It turned out that I wanted to wait for your Ama to be released, and when the second elder brother is also older, you can also have another one, please change the name to be more justified." One is the family that has gone up, and the other is how much credit it has to give birth to children. It's better to hand it over with such an excerpt. Although the emperor always doesn't care about these things, he also wants to do it more satisfactorily.

Recently, however, his momentum has been good. I heard that the emperor meant that after this pox, the sons of several elder brothers' families would be named. Some time ago, he also sent the two brothers of Fujin's mother's family into the palace as imperial guards, and the Manchurian people still have the fastest military achievements. Bakshi and Batulu stayed in front of the palace for two years, and then they could send errands when they came out.

In this comparison, Li Wenye has not survived enough qualifications, and there is no good place for him to be released. The second elder brother is still young, and Su Su's side is inevitably lacking in confidence.

Fuli has just been born for a few years now, and several of the little ones have not grown up yet. He didn't want his family to become like the third brother, and his wives and concubines were all black-eyed chickens.

Li Wei probably understood, to be honest, her life is very calm and comfortable now, and she doesn't want to have any more twists and turns, and said: "I listen to you, now the house is good, and the children and I know it." ”

"Hmm." The fourth master pulled her into his arms and hugged her. She was a little uncomfortable outside, and he smiled and whispered in her ear, "What's this?" Wait for the opportunity to take you to the summer resort in the future, and ...... behind the Ao Bao"

Li Wei was taken aback by his words, she knew over the years that his lower limit was obviously much stronger than her, Ao Bao's meeting was a tryst between men and women, and on that day, maybe he would dare to take her to play in the wild in the middle of the night.

Two days after this race, Da Gege, Ergege and Big Brother were sent away. I didn't come back until the beginning of July, and the three children were safe, although they had lost a little weight.

As soon as Er Gege came back, he hugged her and cried, one by one, 'E-Niang, you don't want me anymore', Li Wei, who was crying, was so sour that she couldn't do it, and the two of them cried together. When the fourth master came over, she hugged him again and said, 'Amma, you don't want me anymore', and the fourth master hugged her for two days before coaxing.

The second elder brother saw Er Gege crying, and he was also sad. After crying for a long time, the mantra was 'E-Niang, don't want me', this is a hurt heart, Li Wei blamed herself and repeatedly promised that she would never want him and Ergege, telling them that they took Ergege to plant pox last time, and they won't get sick after planting.

"Aren't you really sick?" The second elder brother sobbed, looking very entangled in being sick and being asked which side to choose by Eniang.

As a result, within two days, Ergege began to change his teeth, and his front teeth moved, which scared the second elder brother and said that Li Wei was lying.

Li Wei said very bitterly that this is normal, Eniang also changed her teeth when she was a child, and Ama also changed it. When the fourth master came again, the two little ones first observed his front teeth, and the second elder brother also touched and asked if his teeth were moving. The fourth master knew that Ergege had changed his teeth, so he asked her to open her mouth to take a look, and explained that she couldn't eat sweet and sour during this time, and then said: "It's good to change your teeth, Amma's teeth are good now." ”

Er Gege and the second elder brother were relieved.

In the evening, Li Wei said disappointedly: "They don't believe what I say, so they believe you." ”

The fourth master smiled with satisfaction and said, "I'm their Amma." ”

After a few days, the emperor gave the name, this time from the eldest brother to the seventh elder brother's family, and Li Wei felt that the emperor also saved so many people, and he came to wholesale in one go.

The second elder brother was blessed by the eldest elder brother and was also given a name. The eldest brother's name is Honghui, and his name is Honghui. When Li Wei heard the reading of 'Hongfen', she saw what the fourth master wrote at first glance, and read 'Hongpan' in her heart. It was the fourth master who explained: "Hey, it means daylight." ”

"Good name!" She said that it was a bright and bright name. The emperor is really erudite, and she has never used this word.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fourth master also named the three Gege. Da Gege is called Bojili Yierha, the Chinese name is chrysanthemum, the flower of longevity, the second Gege is Erhe, the meaning of peace, and the third Gege is Zalafen, which also means longevity.

Speaking of Sangege, Li Wei had seen it in Fujin before. A three-year-old child, she is a sister Lin. As soon as Sister Feng saw Sister Lin in the Red Mansion, she said, 'I look at this sister, it seems to have a deficiency disease', and Sangege is the same, which makes people feel 'congenital insufficiency' at a glance.

She looked thin, her face was not flushed with a healthy child, and her skin was as white as transparent. In a modern school, the physical education teacher did not dare to ask her to run laps under the sun and do sports.

The fourth master is also very concerned about these two Gege.

At night, before the two went to bed, they talked about a few children at home, and he actually said that he was going to show Da Gege his in-laws now, which shocked Li Wei. Da Gege is only eight years old!

The fourth master was serious, and frowned: "Da Gege and Sangege are both weak, I have long thought about letting them marry closer, and I can take care of one or two." Ergege is the flesh of your heart and mine, we only have this one Gege, of course, we are reluctant to let her marry too far, you miss her in the future, and then you can't see each other across thousands of mountains and rivers. ”

This shijie does not have an Internet phone, and even the transportation is not developed. If Ergege really marries in a place like Mongolia, it will be difficult for their mother and daughter to meet in this life.

Li Wei's face turned white when she heard him say, "Then what should I do?" Master, do you have a candidate? ”

The fourth master patted her hand and said, "I have it all in mind, you can rest assured." In the future, you will not be separated from each other. ”

Thinking about it, Da Gege remembered this matter when he was only eight years old, and it should be no problem for Ergege to hand it over to the fourth master.

After falling asleep, Li Wei had a strange dream all night, Ergege actually hugged Sangege and cried that the child was born too weak, and she hugged Hongyu and persuaded her that it was okay, the boy was very healthy. In the dream, Sangege and Hongyu are both children of Ergege. In the dream, she felt normal, and she was glad that Ergege got married and had children so soon. After waking up, I was thundered by the dream.

In July, the fourth master became busy again. I didn't come back for several days, but I only sent a message to send the change of clothes to the Ministry of Works.

One evening, the cloud pressure on the horizon was extremely low, and it looked like there was going to be a heavy rain. Li Wei asked people to go to the front yard to spread the word, and asked several children to hurry back to the house and stop playing outside.

After a while, the downpour fell down, and the jade bottle lifted the curtain in the house to watch the rain, and said with a smile: "This is the Dragon King washing clothes." ”

Ergege sat on the couch and braided the knot, and continued: "Dragon King? It's the dragon princess, right? Men don't do laundry. "The jade bottle hurriedly said," Gege said. ”

Li Wei said: "I forgot to tell Zhao Quanbao just now and asked him to bring Hongyu back." With such heavy rain, there may be thunder at night, so he should come back to sleep. ”

"Amma shouldn't be happy." Er Gege said, "The second brother is a boy, don't worry about him all the time." ”

"You Amma didn't come back." Li Wei shook the fan, "Anyway, I'm just talking." "The fourth master is becoming more and more majestic, she doesn't dare to pet her, it's not a joke to be in his hands." After this rain, it will be cool for about two days. ”

The jade bottle standing by the curtain saw someone running outside in the rain through the bamboo curtain, and when he opened the curtain, he saw that it was Xiao Xizi, and wondered: "What did he run here at this time?" ”

She went out and stood under the porch and shouted to him, "Why did you come here in such a heavy rain?" ”

Xiao Xizi was drenched like a chicken in soup, drenched all over, he ran to the porch and wiped his eyes that were fascinated by the rain, and said loudly: "The fourth master is back!" Said to come over for dinner later. ”

The rain was so loud that Li Wei didn't hear them talking at the door, and when she saw the jade bottle coming in, she asked, "What's so urgent?" ”

Jade bottle: "The fourth master is back, say come over in a while." ”

Li Wei and Er Gege both stood up. Ergege said: "Amma is back?" When to come? Shall I go back now, E-niang? ”

Li Wei grabbed her and said, "Wait for the rain to lighten, you Ama he is not so fast." You sit down a little longer. ”

She turned to the jade bottle and said, "Dinner is simpler, and there are a few more cold dishes." The staple food is still cold noodles. The jade bottle repeated it and went out to pass the word. Ergege sat for a while, and then asked people to go back to the house with an umbrella to change clothes.

It gets dark when it rains, and it gets dark at six o'clock. The lamps were lit in each room, and the little eunuchs braved the rain to take off the air dead wind lamps hanging on the eaves with hooks, light them and hang them up again. When they returned to the porch, they were drenched in the rain.

The rain is getting lighter. Li Wei asked people to go to the dining room to ask for ginger soup, so that everyone who went out on an errand today would have to drink a bowl of cold when they came back.

She thought that the fourth master would not come, and a quarter of an hour later, the fourth master asked people to come over with umbrellas and lanterns.

Although there were umbrellas along the way, he still had most of his shoulders and legs wet when he came in. Li Wei took dry clothes for him to change, waited for him to come out, brought him a bowl of ginger soup, and said, "This is what I asked people to boil, you can also drink a bowl, so as not to catch a cold again this day." ”

The fourth master looks strong, but he is actually most afraid of getting cold. As long as he is blown in the wind and rain, if he doesn't take good care of it, he will definitely have a fever.

The bowl of ginger soup that was still hot in his stomach immediately formed a layer of sweat on his forehead, and his face turned red. He unbuttoned his collar and said, "This body is sweating." ”

"I've been busy for days, and I haven't had a good meal. Let them set the table. He said, "What's there?" ”

It may be that it is raining and the weather is cold, and there is a vegetarian casserole in the dining room, tofu and green vegetables and vermicelli. But he had just drunk the ginger soup and was sweating, although the weather was hot, but seeing that he was drenched in rain, Li Wei asked people to move the iceberg of the hall away. He refused to touch the casserole when he saw it, but there was a dish of cucumber and chicken mixed with vermicelli, which was refreshing and refreshing, and he liked to eat half of it.

In the second half of the meal, he asked the windows and curtains to be opened, and the rain carried away the sweltering heat in the house with the cool breeze after the rain.

After dinner, he only wore a coat and pants and sat barefoot on the couch, seeing that he couldn't call Ergege to see him like this, Li Wei asked the jade bottle to say to Ergege, there was no need to wait.

After drinking a bowl of tea, he said: "I'm very busy these days, I can't take care of them, I want to invite a gentleman for them, what do you think?" ”

Li Wei was quite surprised, no matter how busy he was before, he would take the eldest brother and them to boxing and endorse in the morning, and then go out. Are you so busy that you can't even spare the time now?

"As long as you look good." Now a few children have learned much more than she knows, and when it comes to the Four Books and the Five Classics, she really has nothing to teach them.

The fourth master nodded and said, "When Mr. comes in two days, I'll see you first, and then I'll please." ”

After a while, he rested enough to write, and Li Wei finished writing his own, and when I looked at him in the past, I realized that he was not writing words, but things like reading jihua.

She thought to herself that the fourth master was too busy to teach the children, and she had to arrange for herself to study, and she had a strong sense of learning.

But if you look closely, it's not right.

When the fourth master saw her coming, he said, "If such an article is written, there are a few of them when Mr. comes." ”

It turned out that he was writing a teaching book for Mr. Jihua, and even arranged which one to talk about every day.

Li Wei wanted him to rest, just leave this matter to Mr. Doesn't that mean that the gentleman is a book-to-book? can see that he writes seriously, flipping through the book while writing, and looks satisfied after writing. She couldn't say that. He really likes to arrange these.

is really worthy of being the fourth master, they all say that he is tired to death, so if he is not tired to death, who is tired to death?
