Chapter 221: Opportunity
When Liu Yongan was in Dadu, he always worked with Wang Jinghua and listened to Sheng's songs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow that he and Liu Yongsheng have left Beijing together, she is not used to it, and she lazily feels that nothing is right every day.
Even when Wen gave her a post, she politely refused.
Every day, I don't want to do anything except get up in the morning and play a five-bird play for half an hour.
The purple kite gave her a thought: "Our yard is so big, why don't we plant more flowers and trees?" ”
In her opinion, although the house in Dadu is very large, it is not as delicate as when Wang Jing was fragrant with rice flowers before, and there are many fewer flowers and trees alone, and the emptiness only makes people feel lonely.
When she said this, she reminded Wang Jing, "Then let's continue to plant flowers." "Most of them are not as small as Haozhou, there are more rich people here, and it is definitely very profitable to graft some precious flowers and trees.
The family is already poor and white, how can she slack off because Liu Yongan is not there?
"You should go to the flower and tree market to inquire about what flowers and trees are more valuable." Wang Jing instructed Purple Kite.
The one who went was the rough envoy who planted the flowers, and soon came back: "The old slave inquired for a long time, and most of them only had one flower market, and there were many flowers in it, but most of them were common, and there was no need to buy them at all, what henna, morning glory, cockscomb, and a bunch of red ...... It's not as beautiful as our garden, five taels of silver can be one or twenty pots, but it's actually a pot and kung fu money for sale; The more expensive ones are orchids, chrysanthemums, plums, peonies, and yueji, ranging from one tael to five taels per pot; The most expensive is osmanthus, and the two-foot-tall sapling costs twenty taels of silver, and it is not allowed to bargain; There was a twenty-year-old osmanthus tree, which didn't let the slave and maid see anything at all, saying that it was not sold if it was less than 2,000. ”
Wang Jing said: "Do you know how to grow osmanthus? ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and said with a red face: "The slave maid was a farmer before, and she would only do simple things such as pulling weeds, loosening the soil, and watering in the garden, but I heard that you can support something that can hold soil under the dwarf laurel tree, press the branches of the laurel tree into the soil, and water it often, and it may be able to grow roots in a few years." ”
It's honest, but it's not the right way.
"I've heard that the bark of the branches that need to be pressed is peeled off and wrapped in soil in bamboo tubes and clay pots." Wang Jing said.
The woman smiled and said, "If the grandmother wants to press the osmanthus, the old slave will get it." "The joy is beyond words.
This rough mother-in-law is quite diligent and willing to work, if she explains something, she will complete it seriously, but unfortunately she knows less, but she is still competent for the errand in front of her, Wang Jing wants to pull her out, "In fact, there is an easier way." ”
"Please also ask the young grandmother to give you some guidance on the slaves and maids." The woman had already knelt down, and although she was motivated, she could only do simple things, and she knew in her heart that such work was just a matter of eating with a mouth. And Wang Jing's confident appearance made her heart beat a lot faster, if the young grandmother was willing to tell her the "easier" method, it would definitely benefit future generations, so she couldn't help but pricked up her ears to listen to Wang Jing's words.
"You tear off some of the wicker, soak it in water for two days, then soak the branches of the osmanthus more than half a foot high in it for a day, and then stick it in the sand like a sweet potato, and that's it. Remember, it must be sand. To fertilize, you can bury some pig manure under the tree. ”
The rough mother-in-law hurriedly said, "The slave and maid will do it." ”
This mother-in-law was bought after Wang Jing came to Dadu, her son and daughter-in-law were sick and died, leaving only a seven or eight-year-old grandson, Liu Yongan felt that her grandson was a good seedling to practice martial arts, so he bought the grandfather and grandson, and now it has been two months since he entered the house. I didn't dare to mention fertilizing the garden. What if the young grandmother and uncle want to go to enjoy the flowers and smell the feces and blame her? Besides, in the face of such a fairy-like master, she was really embarrassed to mention any filth such as pig dung.
When the mother-in-law left, Wang Jing said: "I remember that her surname seems to be Lu?" ”
Purple Kite said: "You have a good memory, your surname is Lu, and her grandson is called Zhuzi." ”
As she was talking, Aunt Lu came back again, looking very embarrassed to speak.
Wang Jing said: "But is it because there is no pig manure in our house?" ”
Aunt Lu said secretly: This young grandmother is too powerful, how can she even know what I think in my heart. Thinking about it like this, her attitude became even more respectful: "Young grandma is wise. ”
Wang Jing: When she said "pig manure" just now, she looked very anxious, but she was not embarrassed to say these two words, she came for a short time, so naturally she didn't know whether there were pigs in this house. "It's also great to bury some animal carcasses without pig manure, otherwise you can also apply cake fertilizer, rapeseed cake, cotton cake, and you can buy some back if you don't have it at home." After speaking, he asked Purple Kite to get her five taels of silver tickets, "Other flowers and trees will also be giving." ”
The next day, Wang Jing went to the garden to see, but saw that Aunt Lu was fertilizing, and when she saw Wang Jing coming, she hurriedly reported: "The young grandmother came just in time, and the old slave is trying to ask you after fertilizing to see where the osmanthus seedlings are planted." ”
The osmanthus tree grows very slowly, but if you want to take cuttings in a large area, there is absolutely not enough space in this garden, and it is difficult to water, but fortunately, the Zhuangzi she bought is by the Lushui, so it is better to set up the nursery there.
"If you really want to get this, I'll find you a piece of it." Wang Jing said.
Aunt Lu said: "I won't tell you that the old slave used to plant a few acres of land by himself, but then the field was robbed by the Tatars, and the pillar was sick again, so he had to sell himself." It's not easy to live these days, but I'm glad I met you and my uncle. I met my sister-in-law yesterday, she was in the Shen family next door, the master lost his temper, threw a teapot and smashed her head, and she didn't have to work today. ”
When Wang Jing heard this, she didn't know how to comfort her. I had to smile and say: "It can be seen that we are destined." Then he asked Shuangxi to take her to Zhuangzi, and confessed: "Send a young man from Zhuangzi to help Aunt Lu." ”
Otherwise, she is an elderly woman, the field can only be dug out one by one, people work hard, and do not know when to dig, and the most suitable season for osmanthus tree cuttings is April and May, when the new leaves have grown well, the weather is ambiguous, and it is too hot to die in June.
The Shen family, which is only separated by a wall from the Liu family, is closely watching the movements of the Liu family.
I haven't seen Liu Yongan for a while, her mind became active, and she specially found someone who went to the door of Liu's house to go to Liu's house, saying that she wanted to meet Liu Jinshi, and sent a name sticker.
The porter didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he told Wang Jing.
"Tell him that the adults have gone to see the chicks in other places, and ask him to come back after a while."
When the county lord of Moyang County heard this, he said secretly: The opportunity has come!
She didn't care that she was now pregnant with a fetus of more than seven months, and it was difficult to walk, so she directly ordered the carriage to enter the palace.
It just so happened that Shen Rong was resting today, and when she learned that she was going to enter the palace, she frowned and said, "Madame, you have to be careful of your body now, and don't go out again if you have nothing to do." ”
The county lord of Moyang County naturally refused to give up the opportunity that was so easy to get, "The imperial doctor said, move more, and it will be better to have a better life when the time comes." We Mongolian women are not like you Han Chinese, when you are pregnant, you are like a hen hatching eggs, you dare not move all day long, and it is even more difficult to give birth! ”
When it came to the words, Shen Rong couldn't persuade her again, so she had to go. (To be continued.) )
