After the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be hot every day. It is often the cool basket that was just laid yesterday, and it is still a little cold when I sleep at night, and it is so hot that I have to use an ice basin at noon the next day.

Every year, this year's heat is even more intense.

The heat is pressing, not to mention the sons and grandsons of the rich and wealthy families, the children of the princesses, and the small merchants who have spare money, are also hiding in the shade to cool off at the moment.

Even the emperor took refuge in the summer resort of Chengde.

Although they were all eunuchs, not everyone was qualified to accompany the emperor, and the remaining part of the people took their families to the suburbs to escape the summer.

In the suburbs of Beijing, there is a grange of the Yan Enhou He family, and the house with three entrances and five widths on the grange is the courtyard of the He family.

This courtyard is not used by the He family for summer vacation, and everyone up and down the Liangxiang Grange knows that this courtyard lives in the serious Mrs. Hou of the He family of Yan'en Hou.

The weather was hot, Gu Chongyang wore a blue narrow-sleeved shirt and an emerald blue horse-faced skirt, and quickly walked out of the door.

She was followed by two maids, two women, and three elderly mothers-in-law.

The two maids are holding carved red lacquer begonia flower tea trays in their hands, one tea tray is placed on a set of kiln colorful teapots and tea cups, and the other is holding a plate of pea yellow and a dish of kidney bean rolls.

The two women and the three servant women in the back carried baskets and baskets.

Walking out of the door, a wave of heat hit his face, and not long after he left, a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat appeared on Gu Chongyang's forehead.

As far as the eye can see, all you can see are golden wheat fields, and the tenants on the grange are harvesting wheat in full swing, and the bright sickle makes a "ho-ho" sound on the wheat oranges.

A gust of wind blew, and the heat wave was scorching. The golden wheat also rises and falls with the wind, which is very beautiful.

Gu Chongyang looked around and saw two tall poplar trees on the side of the road a hundred meters away, lush green, and the shade of a tree underground, so he turned around and ordered: "Let's go there." ”

The group walked to the bottom of the tree, the abundant leaves covered the scorching sun, the summer wind blew, the tree was cool, the leaves rattled, and the heat disappeared a lot.

In just this time, a cart full of wheat was already being hauled from the field to the wheat field. The person in front pulled, the person in the back pushed, and two unclothed children followed the car, waiting to pick up the ears of wheat that fell from the car.

Walking in front of Gu Chongyang, the group stopped.

The tenant who pulled the cart grinned and gave Gu Chongyang a smile: "Mrs. He, thank you for the summer soup you sent yesterday." It's so hot, why don't you stop? ”

His dark face, when he smiled, showed a piece of snow-white teeth, and there was a kind of honesty peculiar to the Zhuang family.

Gu Chongyang looked in a good mood: "Today is hotter than yesterday, I made a pill to treat heat stroke, and I will distribute it to everyone later." ”

The tenant lady smiled and said, "Madam, you are really a bodhisattva, you collect less rent than others, and you always send medicine and water." The grange before and after, who does not envy us for our blessings, and you pity the old and the poor masters. ”

The tenant lady was telling the truth.

Since Gu Chongyang came, he drove away the original head of the village who always oppressed them, and he didn't collect much rent, and he often found a name to send money to them. is sick, Gu Chongyang also personally treated the tenants, not only did not charge money, but also gave free medicine.

In the past three years, their lives have been much better.

Such a master is difficult to find even with lanterns in ten miles and eight towns.

Gu Chongyang smiled and didn't answer, but instructed the maid behind him: "Pack two pills for this lady." ”

The tenant lady took the medicine with both hands and thanked him gratefully for a long time.

Gu Chongyang smiled: "You're welcome, you're busy, hurry up and pull the wheat." ”

Her smile, indescribably dignified and beautiful, was even more beautiful than the person in the painting, and the tenant lady couldn't help but look at it.

The tenant saw that his mother-in-law was stupid, and hurriedly followed her eyes.

I saw Mrs. He's black hair like fine satin, her white skin like a white porcelain bowl, a faint smile on her face, and her eyes like a pool of water.

The general only glanced at it, and the tenant felt that his face was hot, and his heart jumped suddenly.

He immediately lowered his head and scolded: "The medicine has been obtained, what is the pestle doing here, hurry up, don't delay the people behind to receive the medicine." ”

The tenant lady woke up from a dream, and when she turned around, she saw a long queue behind her.

The tenant lady hurriedly put away the medicine and pushed the cart away.

She hadn't gone far when she turned around. Seeing Gu Chongyang's skin full of snow, he stood there with a noble temperament to distribute medicine. The wind blew her green silk dance, her clothes fluttered, and her heart was full of envy and pity.

envy her brocade clothes and food, call slaves and maids; pity her for her good years, but she is not loved by a man who knows cold and hot.

With such a bodhisattva-like heart and fairy-like appearance, who doesn't love it when you see it? Why is Yan Enhou so ruthless, and it will take three years to send it to Zhuangzi. I heard that Yan Enhou doted on the second room and didn't like this lady, so he forced her to come to the Grange.

The tenant lady sighed again.

Such a person still doesn't like it, is the second room even more beautiful than this lady?

The tenant lady glanced back at Gu Chongyang again, shook her head, sighed, and put her mind back on the wheat cart.

Gu Chongyang dispenses medicine according to the capitation, one pill per person.

The queue for the medicine was getting longer and longer, and after a while, the two baskets were empty.

They made a total of 500 pills, and they had already distributed 100 pills just now.

Gu Chongyang looked at the long queue crowded, and roughly estimated that there were more than four hundred people.

Harvesting is to compete with the sky for time, and the wheat must be cut off immediately when it is ripe, dried and put away. Otherwise, a heavy rain will fall on the ground, and the wheat will be drenched, and the harvest of the year will be lost.

These tenants would rather delay the wheat harvest than come to receive the medicine, for Gu Chongyang, this is an affirmation of her.

The more this happens, the more you can't live up to the trust of these people.

Today's medicine is not enough, if those people work hard to the end but do not receive the medicine, how disappointed should they be?

Gu Chongyang thought for a while, and then said to the big girl Shuang'er beside him: "You go and count the four hundred heads and come out, and tell them that these four hundred have medicine." Those who queued up at the back said that they couldn't get it today, and they would come back to get it another day. ”

Frost took the order and left.

Suddenly, one of the people in the group fell straight down, and the originally orderly line suddenly became messy.

Gu Chongyang hurriedly said in a loud voice: "He is suffering from heat stroke, quickly carry him to the shade of this tree." ”

Only then did the tenants react, and three or four powerful men carried the fainted man into the shade of the tree.

Gu Chongyang hurriedly ordered his mother-in-law to take the pill and feed him, and then instructed his mother-in-law to give him cold water to drink, and put a wet handkerchief on the man's forehead. After a while, the man woke up.

Gu Chongyang breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone: "It's okay, continue to distribute medicine." ”

As soon as her words fell, a little maid who had just left her head ran over sweating profusely, she was out of breath, and her voice was loud with a little joy: "Madam, madam, the Hou Ye is here." ”

This sentence caused an uproar.

Yan Enhou doesn't come often, only once a year and a half.

What is the purpose of this time?

Could it be that he changed his mind and wanted to take this lady back to the capital?

Won't they not be able to get free medicine in the future, and who should they turn to for medical treatment in the future?

The quiet crowd began to whisper.

Gu Chongyang had no expression on his face, and there was no other reaction except for a pause in the hand that wrapped the medicine.

"Did Master Hou say what he came to do?"

Her tone was cold, as if she was asking an irrelevant person.

The little maid was stunned and said, "Master Hou...... Hou Ye didn't say anything, only said that he had something to do with you. ”

Because she felt Gu Chongyang's coldness, the joy in the little girl's tone also faded a lot.

She has only bought it for two months, and Hou Ye will not tell her as a little maid even if he has something. The little maid muttered in her heart.

Gu Chongyang stood up and instructed the maid and servant: "You continue to send medicine, and I will come when I go." ”

Then he said to the little maid, "You are here to give them a hand." ”

She walked out of the crowd and saw a magnificent carriage and three horses parked at the gate of the courtyard, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in her heart.

Could it be that Chai Xiyue came with He Runnian again?

The last time she came to provoke and humiliated her fiercely, isn't she obedient?

She has avoided Zhuangzi, what else is she going to do? Do you have to force yourself to death?

Once upon a time in the capital, she thought about He Runnian, afraid of falling into a jealous image in front of him, even if her heart was dripping blood, she had to smile and face Chai Xiyue. Chai Xiyue is also used to acting, she is always a long sister and a short sister in front of people, and she serves herself with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes.

But when He Runnian stopped coming forward, the two of them hated each other like black-eyed chickens, hating each other's skin and swallowing each other's meat.

Later, her uncle's house collapsed, and she had no backer.

When she arrived at Zhuangzi, He Runnian had no one around her, only Chai Xiyue, a woman, and her heart gradually pounced on Chai Xiyue.

At the beginning, Gu Chongyang was still looking forward to He Runnian taking him back to the capital, every time Chai Xiyue came to show off her might, she always accepted it.

But a year ago, when the master was dying, he scolded her, and she suddenly figured it out.

Master said that people must love themselves in order to be loved. If you lose yourself, you are nothing.

It's ridiculous that she has been in love with He Runnian for more than ten years, and has always longed for He Runnian's love, and when He Runnian was happy with her, she also thought that He Runnian liked herself.

Actually? All he likes is her good skin.

Just because He Runnian likes gentle and demure women, in front of He Runnian, she didn't dare to speak loudly, she didn't dare to laugh arbitrarily, and she even had to imitate Chai Xiyue in dressing up.

She loves so humblely!

is low to the dust, but he can't get a trace of his sincerity.

What is he here for?

Could it be that he really came to pick him up and return to Beijing?
