Chapter 31: Zhuangzi
The hot water was boiled under the stove, and Shiso served Rong Zheng and simply freshened up. Here, Bai Shengchun's family made another bowl of tea for Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng took a look at this small farmhouse courtyard. There are five large tiled houses and two thatched-roofed side houses. There are yellow mud walls, and there is a well in the yard, and the wells are all around. There is also a small stone mill in the yard, and a donkey is tied to the hut.
Judging from them along the road, the Bai family is still a good country family.
Rong Zheng said: "I want to go and see the land, can Uncle Bai take me over?" ”
Bai Shengchun saw that Rong Zheng was so humble and hurriedly said: "If Miss has any orders, just say it, and the old slave will do it." ”
The ridge road in the countryside is not easy to walk, and Shisu helps Rong Zheng to take the wider road as much as possible.
There were also farmers in the fields, and when they suddenly saw a young lady in the city, they all regarded it as a novelty, and couldn't help but stretch out their heads to take a look.
Rong Zheng can't care about that.
Under the guidance of Bai Shengchun, Rong Zheng took a general look, and the wheat in the field was still green. It looks a little like a leek. It turns out that wheat looks like this. Rong Zheng couldn't help but pause and touch.
"When will it get better?"
Bai Shengchun said: "It is harvested after the Great Manchu Festival. ”
Rong Zheng is not familiar with farming, but he just asked casually, and asked a few words with concern, how much is the yield per mu, what is the price of wheat now, and so on. Bai Shengchun replied carefully, and he didn't dare to slack off.
Rong Zheng asked Bai Shengchun to take her to the low-lying land that could not be cultivated.
After walking a long way, I saw that the fields were still full of water, and the ground was low. There is a weir pond not far away.
Rong Zheng pointed to the pond and asked, "Which family owns the weir pond?" ”
Bai Shengchun said: "It is publicly owned in the village." ”
Rong Zheng didn't have anything to say, so he discussed the more than 20 acres of paddy fields with Bai Shengchun.
"Uncle Bai to see if you can clean up this land and plant rice? It's a pity that it's deserted and wasted. ”
Bai Shengchun said with a smile: "It's not that I haven't thought about it before, but I haven't had a big success." ”
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "I heard that there are many rice growers in the Yuanyang area, and I think you don't have much experience and don't know how to take care of it." Why don't you go to Yuanyang and ask someone to help you. ”
Bai Shengchun said with some guilt: "There are few rice growers here, how to plant them, many of them are stunned." If you can invite someone who knows how to manage, I don't think it will be wasted. ”
Rong Zheng smiled: "Then try to grow rice in this land this year." If it still doesn't work, it's better to dig and plant some lotus roots. ”
Rong Zheng's words are gentle and reveal a child's sweetness, which is comfortable to listen to.
What Bai Shengchun thought in his heart was that the young lady grew up in a big family, and now that she understands these agricultural things, there must be someone by her side to guide her. Thinking of this, Bai Shengchun didn't dare to slack off.
After walking around, Rong Zheng's legs were a little tired, so he had to go back to rest.
Bai Shengchun's family has already made a simple light meal with his two daughters. Rong Zheng remembered her stepmother's explanation before leaving, but she didn't pay so much attention to it. When you're hungry, eat as much as you can.
"It's all rough stuff in the country, wronged miss."
Rong Zheng smiled: "It's okay, these things that grow in the fields are very good." ”
Rong Zheng ate two steamed buns, and ate the pickles made by Bai Shengchun's family, with fried tofu, fried dried fish, and a big bowl of vegetarian mixed soup. Although they are all inconspicuous things in the countryside, Rong Zheng eats with relish.
With a rare good appetite, Bai Shengchun's face bloomed with a comfortable smile.
Rong Zheng praised again: "Auntie's pickles are delicious." ”
Bai Shengchun's family was busy: "If Miss likes it, just put some and go back to eat." ”
"Okay, I'll break the bank."
Rong Zheng has the habit of taking a nap after dinner, but he doesn't want to sleep today, Xiao Lu walked back and forth and said, "Miss, that Lei Bo wanted to see Miss last time." ”
Rong Zheng thought for a while and said, "Call him in." ”
Not long after, Lei Bo came in, kowtowed to Rong Zheng three times, and said with great gratitude: "Miss's life-saving grace, the little one is toothless and unforgettable." ”
Rong Zheng saw that he was born dark and thin, but he was still clever and spoke clearly, so he nodded and said, "If you do things well, I will promote you where I can use you in the future." I heard that you will plan to plate? ”
Lei Bo said: "The little one used to be an account office for people, and I learned a little. ”
Rong Zheng made a note in his heart, and whether Lei Bo could use her or not had to be considered again.
After Lei Bo left, Bai Shengchun's family accompanied Rong Zheng to talk for a while.
When she saw the young lady, the slave remembered the deceased wife. In a blink of an eye, my wife is so big. ”
Bai Shengchun's family was originally a maid serving in Mrs. Qi's room, but when she got older, Mrs. Qi promised her to Bai Shengchun and handed over the Zhuangzi here to the two of them to take care of.
"What did mom do in her mother's room before?"
Bai Shengchun's family replied: "The slave maid used to take care of the clothes and jewelry in the wife's house, and the slave maid hugged you twice when the young lady was young." In the blink of an eye, it's a big girl. ”
Rong Zheng's memory of his mother was already a little vague, so he asked Bai Shengchun's family a lot about his mother, and then both the master and servant cried.
Bai Shengchun heard it outside, frowned and said: This old woman took out the old story again, which made the young lady unhappy. So he took the plum blossom and said to her, "Take this to the house." ”
Plum blossom glanced at it and saw that it was a plate of cornmeal dumplings.
"Miss just used the meal, where can I eat this. I'd better bring the tea in. Plum knew that her father had asked her to go in and interrupt the conversation between the two in the house.
Bai Shengchun smiled: "Good, go ahead." ”
Plum blossom carried the tea Chozi and went in to add water.
Rong Zheng saw that the plum blossom was calm and well-behaved, so he asked her, "How old is it?" ”
Plum replied, "Eleven." ”
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Two years younger than me, a good girl." ”
Bai Shengchun's family saw Rong Zheng praising his daughter, and he hurriedly pulled Rong Zheng and whispered to her: "Miss, I don't know if there is any errand in the house?" ”
Rong Zheng understood in his heart, nodded with a smile and said, "If you want to settle down, you can always settle down alone." Then he asked Meihua: "Would you like to go into the house?" ”
Meihua glanced at her mother, and her mother motioned for Meihua to hurry up and agree.
Meihua is a clever child, and she is busy kowtowing to Rong Zheng: "The slave is willing to serve the young lady." ”
Rong Zheng said with a smile: "It's also a big deal to add people, when I go back to my wife and see that there is a suitable position, I will let someone pick you up." ”
Bai Shengchun's family knew that it could be completed when they heard it, and they hurriedly saluted Rong Zheng and said, "Thank you, Miss, for making it complete." ”
Rong Zheng chattered, Zi Su walked in, and said to Rong Zheng in a low voice: "Miss, Xiao Lu, they said it was time to go, the weather was not good, I was afraid of rain, and I couldn't delay the trip." ”
Rong Zheng said in his heart that it was time to go back, so he got up and said goodbye to the Bai family. The Bai family has been sending Rong Zheng to the village entrance.
"Shisu, is there still a shortage of people in our room?"
Shisu knew it in his heart and said with a smile: "There is no shortage for the time being." But two of them are older, and Miss should let them out. ”
"Oh, yes." If Zisu didn't mention it, Rong Zheng really forgot about it, and said, "Let's go back and take care of this matter slowly." When it's done, you ask a mother-in-law to pick up their plum blossoms. ”
Shisu smiled and agreed, and suddenly heard the person in front of him say, "Oh no, it's raining." ”
Rong Zheng's heart sank, thinking that it was really not a travel weather. She should have flipped through the yellow calendar.
