79. Double cropping rice

Lou Chengyi was directly stunned, Fu Linshu hesitated and said: "You also know that Brother Yu'er has the right idea, not to mention such a major life event." The implication is that you still need to ask the Lord before you can do it.

Zhou Cheng picked up his clothes and stood up and said, "I'll go and ask Brother Yu'er." If Brother Yu agrees, please ask Uncle Lou and Uncle Fu to fulfill it. ”

"As long as Brother Yu agrees, we will have no problem." They all see Zhou Cheng's character, except for the identity of the previous servant, the rest are all top families. Seeing Zhou Cheng go to find someone, Fu Linshu thought about Lou Yuzhu's character and had a hunch that this should be possible.

A few citrus trees were planted in the back mountain, and Lou Yuzhu was leading Huang Ying to take scissors and cut them, cut them and put them in the bamboo cage and then store them in the cellar for a long time.

"Master, Master Zhou is here."

Lou Yuzhu, who was stepping on the stool, turned around, got off the stool, wrapped a citrus leaf in a citrus leaf and handed it to Zhou Cheng half: "Brother Zhou, taste it, it's quite sweet." ”

He took half of the citrus and stuffed it with a petal and nodded: "It's quite sweet." ”

Lou Yuzhu stuffed a petal into his mouth and said with a smile: "Fifteen trees have survived these six, if it is not sweet, it will be a big loss." ”

Zhou Cheng smiled, looked at Lou Yuzhu and said, "Let Huang Ying get busy, I have something to say to you." ”

"What's so mysterious?" Lou Yuzhu didn't smile, and turned around and asked Huang Ying to do something else.

"I just proposed to you with Uncle Lou and Uncle Fu, and they asked me to ask you, as long as you agree, they have no opinion."

Lou Yuzhu almost bit her tongue, looked at Zhou Cheng as if she was joking, and said with a wry smile: "You know about the meeting with Uncle Pei this morning?" ”

"Yes." It's just not clear in the details.

"Then you also know that the second brother is happy with me" Seeing Zhou Cheng nodding, Lou Yuzhu smiled: "Since Brother Zhou knows, he still proposes marriage, aren't you afraid that the second brother will be angry?" ”

"So I'm sure you rejected the young master, so I came." The situation was unclear before, but Zhou Cheng did not exceed half a point and kept the etiquette, but now he is sure that he did not choose the Pei family, so he will naturally not stand still anymore.

Lou Yuzhu held her forehead: "Whether Brother Zhou believes it or not, I haven't thought about getting married before today, no matter who it is." ”

"You can think about it now." Zhou Cheng didn't know when he was tempted, maybe it was Lou Yuzhu who tried to distill liquor and got drunk, maybe it was even earlier, and he couldn't take his eyes off it when he noticed it. I didn't make it clear that I was worried about Pei Guanying before, because I didn't know Lou Yuzhu's attitude, but now I know that I should naturally take action.

"What does Brother Zhou make me think? Every idea and business need to be considered again and again and handled appropriately, not to mention that it is related to a lifelong life event. "If you want him to think that it is better not to marry, anyway, he is not short of money, and no one is forcing him as far as the personnel of the third room are concerned.

"And how long are you going to think about it?"

Lou Yuzhu couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhou Cheng thought for a while and said: "I know that you don't want to leave Uncle Lou and Uncle Fu, but I am going to buy a Zhuangzi on the hill next door and settle in Yanjia Village in the future, so if you want to think about Uncle Lou and Uncle Fu, you can come over with your feet." ”

Lou Yuzhu was stunned.

Zhou Cheng continued: "I also know that you don't like the smoke miasma in the backyard of a big family, and it just so happens that I don't like it either, and it's just right to have a couple for a lifetime." After getting married, you can continue to study some business, and you can go wherever you want, I won't stop you. After a pause, he continued: "I admit that I have a bad background, I can't give you what the young master can give you, but I can give what the young master can't give you." ”

Lou Yuzhu lowered her eyebrows and said for a while: "Zhou Dacheng asked me to think about it." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Cheng's words made Lou Yuzhu think hard, he didn't sleep well all night, he didn't want the culprit to wait in the main hall early, so he smiled at him and asked, "How did Brother Yu'er think about it?" ”

Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but cry and laugh. "What can I think about this night?"

"Then I'll come back tomorrow." After saying that, he turned around, and soon the sound of horses raising their heads and neighing was heard outside the courtyard, and the sound of horses' hooves went from near to far until they were silent.

The family looked at each other, Xiao Lou Chen wanted to make a joke, Lou Hua directly pulled the person away, Fu Linshu glared at Lou Yuzhu angrily, and led the person to the inner room and said: "If you want to, think carefully, don't drag Zhou Cheng." ”

"It's not that I'm dragging Brother Zhou, it's that Brother Zhou's problem is really difficult to solve." Lou Yuzhu really felt wronged, okay, this step is omitted, and he jumps directly to Sheng'er, and anyone who touches it will be blind!

"And what kind of one are you looking for?"

The words 'don't want to find' were held in her mouth, and Lou Yuzhu endured it and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Fu Linshu twisted his eyebrows: "Zhou Cheng can't do it, Pei Gongzi can't do it, do you want to find an immortal?" ”

"Daddy, why are you elbowing out?" Lou Yuzhu shouted wronged: "Second brother Pei, the other party does not agree,"

"Do you want to think that if there is a way to double crop rice in the future, will the other party disagree?" Fu Linshu pierced Lou Yuzhu's excuses, and then persuaded him earnestly: "Daddy knows that you have the right idea and have your own ideas, so I don't force you in terms of family affairs, but you must have a charter in your heart." What kind of thing you want to find, what kind of you want to find, you have to get an idea as soon as possible. ”

"I'm only eleven years old this year, Daddy, don't make me look like I can't get married at twenty-one."

"I didn't let you marry now, you can marry first, and it's not too late to marry until sixteen."

got married at the age of sixteen, and Lou Yuzhu was choked by thunder. "Can I talk about this at twenty?"

Fu Linshu gave him a look, Lou Yuzhu understood what he meant, and immediately turned around and went out quietly.

The next day, Zhou Cheng came to the door again, Lou Yuzhu branched out of the people around him, and said: "Now that you are married, you can remarry at the age of eighteen, is it feasible?" ”

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up, and after thinking about it, eighteen years old was relatively late, but it was better than not being a generation. "Yes."

"A lifetime, a couple, and freedom must be counted, and I can't regret it, if I regret it, I have the right to reconcile." Seeing Zhou Cheng nodded, Lou Yuzhu and Inch into the foot: "There is no basis for what you say, and there is no basis for your words." ”

Zhou Cheng immediately put pen to paper and wrote a note. The note was handed to Lou Yuzhu, and a softness flashed on his face: "I promise you, I will be good to you." ”

Lou Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I believe that Brother Zhou will be good to me." It's a pity that he doesn't know if he will lose Zhou Cheng, you must know that people are fickle animals, who can be sure that he is consistent?

For peace of mind, Zhou Cheng immediately told Lou Chengyi and his wife about it, and turned around and asked the Hu steward to be a witness. As soon as Steward Hu knew that Pei Guanying would definitely know, it would not be strange that Zhou Cheng had a bruise on his face when he came to the door again the next day.

Telling Huang Ying to get the medicinal oil, Lou Yuzhu asked funny: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, why is there a fight?" ”

"It's okay to fight, knock out the depression in your heart, and the matter will pass." Pei Guanying's ability to do it was expected by Zhou Cheng.

Lou Yuzhu is also a man in his bones, and he is not disgusted with this way of speaking with his fists. The yellow shadow took the medicinal oil, and Lou Yuzhu approached Zhou Cheng and said, "Don't move your face, this medicinal oil is a little spicy, be careful not to flow into your eyes." ”

Suddenly approaching so closely, Zhou Cheng's heart was secretly beating, and the expression on his face was broken, but the red blood-dripping ears betrayed his true state of mind.

Lou Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh, handed him the shelled eggs, and said, "You can do the rest yourself." ”

Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows, and there was a feeling that he didn't know where to put his eyes. Seeing that the layer of crimson blood was about to spread below her neck, Lou Yuzhu pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, but her shoulders trembled slightly, and she obviously smiled not lightly.

Zhou Cheng didn't have a problem, rubbed his red ears to scatter the bruises, and when the eggs became cold, Yuzhu also laughed almost, and stuffed the medicinal oil into his hand and said: "You take this medicinal oil back, if you want to be injured, you can rub it away as soon as possible to avoid suffering." Don't bother to find a doctor to take a look, don't rely on your youth to take your body seriously. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured." Zhou Cheng laughed softly, and then flashed a look of embarrassment, and took out a piece of jade Pei Selou jade bead from his arms: "I hope you will like it." ”

The jade pendant in the hand is carved on the mandarin duck, the knife is smooth and chic, the white and flawless jade color is as warm as grease, and the cost is high at a glance. "Such a valuable gift,"

"As long as you like." Zhou Cheng's eyes were soft, and the slightly upturned arc of the corners of his mouth softened his entire temperament.

Lou Yuzhu was stunned, feeling a little fever in her ears.

The two looked at each other like this, Lou Yuzhu coughed lightly and cleared her throat and said, "Since we have already decided to marry, we are a family, and you still have to have a bottom on some things." After that, he got up and motioned for Zhou Cheng to follow, all the way through the kitchen alley to the backyard, and through the backyard to the wall, Huangshan, who was guarding the door, got up.

"Young brother. Zhou Ye. ”

"Hmm," Lou Yuzhu nodded and asked, "Who else is there?" ”

"The old master and the eldest young master are here." He took out the key tied to his hand and opened the wall door, and stepped back slightly to let the two of them in.

When Zhou Cheng passed by, he gave a reward of two taels of silver.

Huang Shan was flattered to see that the reward money was twice as much as the monthly money of the family, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Master Zhou." I wish Zhou Ye all his wishes come true! ”

He loved to hear that. Zhou Cheng hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and strode upstairs to follow Yuzhu.

Behind a tall grove of trees, the vision suddenly cleared, and the yellowish ears of rice on a large field were waving in the wind. At this time, what does the unripe rice ear represent, Zhou Cheng is clear, licking his dry lips and tongue at the moment, and his mood is mixed.

Lou Yuzhu said: "Since last year, our family has been studying the cultivation method of double cropping rice. Huang Tian has paid off his hard work, and we plan to borrow Uncle Pei's hands to serve the Son of Heaven. ”

"Master Pei is an honest and upright official, and he is a rare good official." The implication is that Pei Sheng can be trusted, Lou Yuzhu smiled.

"Then you go with my father and them tomorrow to invite Uncle Pei."

"Hmm."

I said hello before, Pei Sheng led Pei Guanying to the door of the third room as promised, Lou Yuzhu led Fu Linshu and Xiao Louchen and a few servants to see each other, and then went to the main house to speak. Lou Chengyi stammered dryly throughout the whole process, Fu Linshu didn't talk much because he was a dependent, and then went to the kitchen to avoid it on the grounds that he was busy with lunch, and the main field was supported by Lou Hua and Lou Yuzhu, and Xiao Lou Chen added two funny words from time to time, and it didn't make the atmosphere embarrassing and cold.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Lou Yuzhu and Lou Hua looked at each other and gave Zhou Cheng a look, and said to Pei Sheng: "I invite Uncle Pei to come today, firstly, to thank the second brother for taking care of our family in the past few years, and secondly, I also want to discuss something with Uncle Pei." ”

Pei Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let Brother Yu be so strict, this matter is probably not small? ”

"There is no basis for what you say, why don't you ask Uncle Pei to go somewhere." After that, he got up and motioned for Pei Sheng to go with them.

The Hu steward wanted to stop it, Pei Sheng raised his hand to signal that it was okay, and put down the teacup: "Then I'll take a look." ”

From the kitchen to the backyard to the wall, Huang Shan guarded the small door tightly, and when he saw people coming, he stood up and cheered up. After asking An, he opened the small door under Lou Hua's signal.

Lou Hua took a step back and raised his hand to signal: "Uncle Pei, please." ”

Pei Sheng swept Lou Hua's eyes and then looked at Lou Yuzhu, then looked at Zhou Cheng and said with a smile: "What is so mysterious?" After that, he raised his feet and stepped in, and walked along the path around the towering trees, the yellowish ears of rice waving in the wind, Pei Sheng's elegant expression could no longer collapse, and he rushed to the edge of the fertile field in disbelief and carefully held up an ear of rice.

Pei Guanying stared at Lou Yuzhu in amazement.

The rice had already been harvested and entered the granary, but now there is still unripe rice here, Pei Sheng exhaled and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Lou Hua handed over the book: "This is the method of double cropping rice cultivation, from seed selection to budding, to intermediate weeding and harvest timing, etc., which are recorded in detail according to daily changes. ”

I took the book and opened it.,I found that the record started last year.,It's just that last year's harvest didn't meet expectations because the timing was not right.,This year's change.,An early rice harvest is almost the same as the amount of the previous year! Turning here, Pei Sheng closed the book, looked up and sighed that the sky did not treat Dayuan lightly!

After a long time, seeing that Pei Sheng had calmed down, Lou Yuzhu said: "We want to ask Uncle Pei to serve the Son of Heaven on the method of double cropping rice on our behalf." ”

"Why are you looking for me? You don't have a shallow friendship with Mu Lao. ”

Lou Yuzhu said with a smile: "I got acquainted with Mu Lao because of the second brother, and I didn't have to put the cart before the horse. ”

Pei Sheng secretly sighed that he had committed the heart of a villain before, how could such an open-minded brother wronged himself for some glory, it was also a pity, but it was a pity that this person had no relationship with his Pei family, and it was too late to regret it now. "Then let's have a good talk."

Turning back to the study, the group closed the door and negotiated the matter, and waited until noon to finish lunch, and the Pei family father and son stepped on the return carriage. Pei Sheng put down the curtain and looked back to see Pei Guanying's lonely face, patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "The world is not as good as it should be, my son still needs to think about it." ”

has chips in his hand but it is useless, it can be seen that Brother Yu really has no intention of himself, and for a while Pei Guanying didn't know whether to be angry or sad.

"Guanying!" Pei Sheng shouted: "Don't forget your responsibility, don't let the villain in your heart control you!" ”

Hearing this, Pei Guanying's spirit was shocked, put aside the negative feelings, and tightened his mind and said: "Father rest assured, son knows what to do." "Whether it's for yourself or for the Marquis of Jingyang, the Lou family and the three rooms who have studied the method of double cropping rice must not be evil!
