Chapter 216 Inspection
Just when it was about to dinner, Wang Zhuangtou came back with a carriage of things, and the spring was busy in early March, so the land also began to enter the planting stage, so Wang Zhuangtou has been very busy recently, and the two Zhuangzi are running back and forth. When I came back this morning, I heard from the woman at home that Miss Fourth sent someone to bring her last night, saying that she would go to Zhuangzi to stay for a few days today.
So I drove the carriage to Yiyang County to buy a lot of food, after all, the young lady is pampered, there are no fresh vegetables on the Zhuangzi in the spring, the meat is not fresh, only some bacon and duck to eat.
For dinner, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family made dumplings filled with gray cabbage and pork, covered the gray cabbage with vermicelli and mixed cold vegetables, and made vegetable rolls with gray cabbage, and stewed a pot of robes that Wang Zhuangtou bought from the county.
This wild robe weighs more than 20 catties, and after peeling off the fur and removing the internal organs, there are fifteen or sixteen catties left, and a large pot is just enough to stew it all-round.
Zhou Xiaofu and Zhou Xiaolan had a sumptuous dinner together, Zhou Xiaolan was like an ordinary noblewoman, the amount of food was not very large, she ate some dumplings and vegetable rolls, and finally she was full with only a piece of robe and meat.
Sitting and drinking tea, he waited for Zhou Xiaofu to eat.
Zhou Xiaofu asked the daughter-in-law of the Wang family if there was any leftover in the pot, so she let go of her belly and ate it, ate five or six pieces of robe meat, drank a big bowl of soup before stopping, and suddenly felt that the dantian was hot, this wild thing is really good, and it has a certain effect on the improvement of mental power, just like the venison that = ate before.
In the previous life, although in the last days, I also caught beasts that were not mutated, I am afraid that because of the climate and air, these animals can only eat in their stomachs. It didn't do anything else.
After dinner, Zhou Xiaolan accompanied Zhou Xiaolan around the yard a few laps to eat before returning to the room to rest, Zhou Xiaofu specially asked the daughter-in-law of the Wang family to boil a large pot of hot water for Zhou Xiaolan and sent it to the bath barrel that she bought last time.
Before washing, Zhou Xiaofu asked Ziling to find Wang Zhuangtou.
Wang Zhuangtou has not changed much from the last time I saw him. It's just that people look more energetic.
After taking a seat, Ziling went to the back room to accompany Lan's mother, Zhou Xiaofu let Wang Zhuangtou sit and talk together, and Qingbi stood at the door and guarded.
Last year's Zhuangzi income had all been handed over to Zhou Xiaofu at the end of the year, so what Wang Zhuangtou reported to Zhou Xiaofu was only the situation of the tenant going out of the field at the beginning of the year, and then there was Youfu Villa in Yiyang County, 500 acres of land. But there are about 100 acres of mountainous land.
In February, Zhou Xiaofu went to Xinrang to plant fruit trees in all the mountains.
All the third-class fields are planted with sweet potatoes and the like, and the other good plots are leased to farmers to grow rice and wheat for rent.
Wang Zhuangtou has been busy digging fruit tree seedlings and hiring people to plant them recently, running back and forth.
Let's talk about it briefly. Zhou Xiaofu also felt that the time was not early, and looked at Wang Zhuangtou, who was also very tired, and said, "How are those children?" ”
When Wang Zhuangtou heard this, he suddenly felt a little excited, and said: "Miss, those children learn things very quickly, it's only been less than a year." Propriety. Literacy and embroidery are all brilliant. ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "Is there a good handmaiden in kung fu?" ”
Wang Zhuangtou's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, there are four or five little girls who have learned well, and even the Lan guards are praised." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded and said, "You go to rest, tomorrow we will go to Zhuangzi over there." ”
Wang Zhuangtou got up and saluted and was about to leave, and said with some doubts: "Miss, will the second young lady also follow?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu also knew his doubts when she heard this, and explained: "No, Ming'er will let the second sister rest in the Zhuangzi." Let's just go. ”
After all, she bought this Fushan Villa privately, and she didn't plan to let others know.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Zhou Xiaofu told Zhou Xiaolan that she was going to the field to see if she let her stay here, and the daughter-in-law of the Wang family would take good care of her. Zhou Xiaolan was not an eventful person, so he quickly agreed.
Zhuangzi, who came here for the first time during the day, took Qingbi, Lan's mother and Ziling with him.
This time, Zhou Xiaofu planned to leave Lan's mother here completely, and Ziling came over this time to meet her younger brother, Qingbi, of course, she came over to help try the kung fu of selecting the maid this time.
Steward Zhang waited at the door early, and the person who watched the door at the gate of this courtyard was still Steward Zhang's father, the old man recognized Zhou Xiaofu, and when he saw Zhou Xiaofu, he smiled.
As soon as Zhou Xiaofu entered the courtyard, she saw a small figure rushing out of the courtyard, and when the little figure stood firm, she suddenly threw herself into Mother Lan's arms and called happily: "Mother Lan, why did you come, Xiao Wuzi has been waiting for you for several days." ”
Mother Lan whispered softly around the chubby little boy and coaxed her before she spoke, "Hurry up and salute Miss." ”
This boy called Xiao Wuzi is none other than the son of Master Hu who was injured by Lan guards in Hancheng that day, it turns out that this child is called Xiao Wuzi.
Seeing that he was so close to Mother Lan, Zhou Xiaofu couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
The first time this child saw Zhou Xiaofu's woman's appearance, he didn't recognize it as the son he had seen that day, but he just saluted in a regular manner.
Zhou Xiaofu raised her hand and smiled: "Is your father okay?" ”
Xiao Wuzi was stunned when he heard this, this young lady actually knew that his father was sick?
Turning her head to look at Mother Lan who was standing on the side, seeing that she was still smiling gently, she replied to Zhou Xiaofu in a regular manner: "Thank you Miss for your concern, my father is already fine." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded with a smile, and went to the house where the master was resting with everyone.
After all, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family has done things in a big family, she is very polite and measured, and she knew that Zhou Xiaofu was coming, so she boiled hot water early.
There was nothing to wash, Zhou Xiaofu simply wiped her hands and sat down, explaining that Mother Lan and Ziling went down to rest first, and she still had some things to deal with.
He and Qingbi waited while drinking tea, and soon Wang Zhuangtou came with Steward Zhang, Guard Lan and Master Hu.
There is no major event in this courtyard, just that there are fifty children, and Master Hu and Lan Guard are responsible for the security of this side while teaching the children to learn kung fu.
also invited the master and the embroidery girl, and Steward Zhang explained everything in the yard.
Zhou Xiaofu saw Master Hu sitting there with a restrained face.
He smiled and asked, "Is Master Hu still adaptable?" ”
Master Hu had heard Wang Zhuangtou say before, this son was not a son in the first place, but a young lady, although he was surprised, but he could accept it, after all, a young lady who could have such a family business was not an ordinary person.
When I came to Zhuangzi, my mother's illness improved, and I had a lot of money every month, in addition to catching some tonic medicine for my mother every month, there was also a balance, and my mother-in-law helped wash and mend on Zhuangzi, and I could also get five dollars of silver every month, and my children still had books to read, which was much better than when I was in Hancheng before.
Master Hu thanked Zhou Xiaofu with a grateful face.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "It's good to get used to it." ”
didn't say much, sent everyone away, and left Lan to guard it.
Escort Lan saw that Zhou Xiaofu was left to speak by herself, and sat there quietly without feeling anything.
After a long while, Zhou Xiaofu said, "When does Guard Lan plan to marry Mother Lan?" ”
Lan Hui was stunned when he heard this, and said with a suspicious flush on his face with a scar: "Right away." ”
Zhou Xiaofu nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's prepare for it in the next few days, and take care of your family affairs." ”
Lan Hui was stunned when he heard this, so he wasn't in such a hurry: "Miss, is there something wrong with Xiaohua." ”
Zhou Xiaofu was a little amused when she heard Lan Hui say that Lan's mother's previous name, but she still endured it and said: "There are too many things in the house, Lan's mother is simple, I'm afraid that it will be dangerous to stay for too long, it's better to get married to you as soon as possible, and help me deal with the things in Zhuangzi, I can rest assured." ”
Lan Hui's expression was cold when he heard this, there are many private things in this house, but Xiaohua is involved, and even Miss is not at ease with such kung fu, that is really a problem.
I immediately agreed.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said: "You guys are preparing a new house here, I'll take Mother Lan back first, and after discussing the day, I'll come and talk about it, you come to Zhuangzi to pick up people." ”
Guard Lan went down with a grateful face.
After Zhou Xiaofu and Qingbi had lunch, they took Lan's mother and Qingbi back first, leaving Ziling here alone to help clean up the new house.
And Mother Lan in the carriage also knew that Zhou Xiaofu had decided her family affairs, and she didn't want to say a word of blushing along the way.
Zhou Xiaofu had to wait for Lan's mother to adapt without opening her mouth.
Youfu Villa in Yiyang County is not far from Qingyang Villa, and it is only an hour's carriage.
Soon arrived at Qingyang Villa, Zhou Xiaofu thought about the sika deer on the mountain, colorful tigers, itching in her heart, planning to take Qingbi to the mountain in the afternoon, and directly hunt some prey back, this wild food is too useful for improving mental strength.
As soon as I arrived at the house, I saw the daughter-in-law of the Wang family hurrying to the door.
Zhou Xiaofu was stunned for a moment, got out of the carriage and asked, "What's the matter, you're in such a hurry." ”
The Wang family took a breath and said: "Miss, today there are two sons with a few small servants, saying that they are borrowing, the little ones have been talking for a long time, we have a female dependents in this village, but this son does not follow, one has to stay, and the second lady has already quarreled in the front hall." ”
What, no wonder this Wang family is so anxious, the group of people who borrowed it last time were planning to kill all of them, so everyone who came this time scared the Wang family enough.
Zhou Xiaofu comforted the daughter-in-law of the Wang family and said, "You go make tea, don't worry, I'll go see what's going on." ”
As soon as he raised his feet and arrived at the door of the hall where he lived, he heard a ruffian say in a loud voice: "Uncle, I have silver, what's wrong with borrowing it for one night?" (To be continued......)
