"Mama May. , come and see, come and see, gherkins look at this gherkin. ”

I didn't get up until the sun came out, and after freshening up, Lin Zhu went to the cabin slowly and leisurely for the first time. Look at the vegetables planted in the ground. She was surprised to find that there was something more in the wooden house where the cucumber seedlings had been transplanted, and when she squatted down to take a closer look, there was a small green gherkin that was smaller than her thumb, and there were small yellow flowers blooming on the vegetable seedlings, and she knew that after these flowers fell, they were small cucumbers.

I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly called Mama Mei to come and see.

Mama Mei, who was following her without leaving an inch, was waiting outside the house, and when she heard her shout, she thought something was wrong. After taking a few steps in, I came over to take a look, and I was speechless in surprise.

A month ago, when Lin Tong transplanted the pepper seedlings, cucumber seedlings, and tomato seedlings that had grown into the house in large pots, she thought it was funny. thought that this was all the little lady's idle time to pass the time, and those vegetable seedlings sprouted and grew, and there would be no real results.

These vegetables are always sown in spring and ripen in summer, but how can they be grown in winter?

"Mama Mei, wait a few more days, wait for the cucumber to grow a little longer and we can eat it." It's cool, crisp and delicious. I'll take another look at the tomatoes. Chili pepper. Eggplant,"

After she finished speaking, with the help of Mama Mei, she got up with difficulty and looked at the six cabins one by one. The first experiment was to grow cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplant, beans, and other important vegetables in the summer in a wooden house, and it was a success. So far. In addition to cucumbers, which already have cucumbers, tomato seedlings are already more than half a foot tall. Judging from the experience of growing tomatoes last year, tomatoes prefer a warmer environment, and the seeds collected this year are the largest and the most delicious. She wanted to give hand pollination a try and see if it could be better.

However, the carob eggplant is not very tall, and the carob seedlings are a bit half-dead, and I don't know if they can bloom. There are also eggplants, which have been chirping in the vegetable seedlings until now. Heating and watering didn't work.

The peppers are verdant and verdant, like tiny saplings, but they are not small. No flowering.

Or leeks and spinach do not pick the soil. It's long enough to fit on a blade. She also planted some leeks next to the leeks and prepared to make dumplings for the New Year, but she didn't know if it would be too late.

She slowly pressed some of the prepared fertilizer under the seedlings and watered them. Mama Mei saw that she had a big belly and had to do it herself...... Several times to help. She refused.

She said to Mama Mei, "Mama Mei." The sooner the day comes, the better the activity. Exercise well, so that the child has a good birth. Ay. I don't have a doctor yet. Qu Bo was not there, and he didn't know if the child's fetal position was correct. ”

Mama Mei has given birth to a child, but she doesn't know if the fetal position is correct or not, and the doctor has to see it.

He said, "Can the doctor know if the child is in the womb?" It's better for the little lady not to move around too much. “

Lin Zhu smiled and didn't speak.

Also, the ancient people's medical skills have not developed to the point of knowing so much, they feel that the bigger the belly, the more they should rest well, and the pregnant women who have the conditions are basically eating, sleeping and eating, so the phenomenon of dystocia occurs from time to time.

But when it comes to her, she shouldn't understand it for a while. It's better not to say it well, it's easy to cause her sadness if you say too much.

She digressed the topic and said, "Mama Mei, go to the house and get a brazier, just add a little fire." Put it in this tomato house, it likes to be hot. ”

It was too cold in the cabin, and it was too hot to add a little heat, especially to the tomatoes. 、

There were cucumbers to eat in the winter, and this was the first time she had seen them in her life. Mama Mei trotted back to the house and brought a brazier.

She put a pot of fire into the wooden house with tomatoes, and Lin Zhu asked her to prepare another pot and said, "These houses." One hour at a time. Not at night. Just add some tomatoes to this house. “

After doing all this, she walked slowly around the yard with a big belly.

The New Year will be in more than ten days, and the child will be eight months old, thinking that there is still more than a month before the child in the belly will be born. The mood is extremely excited.

In order for the child to be born smoothly, you must be active.

It's just that I don't know where Jin Xiaoguang is now and how the eldest brother is doing. Will they rush back when the child is born?

Calculate that Sima Mingzhu's child should have been out of the full moon, and I don't know if it's a son or a daughter.

Now she asked Fang Cun to see her father and mother for her, and her mother also has a baby, she is a child who is only forty years old, which is often said to be the iron tree blooming. She really wanted to know how happy her mother was. But think about it, don't get into unwarranted trouble. During this time, Sima Yunzhu didn't come to find fault, that was because Mama Mei was square and Jin Xiaoguang was well deployed when she left. It's easy to say anything about staying in this small courtyard, and if you go out and send something, no one can say.

Fang Cun didn't come back until the evening, and he looked round in a thick cotton robe.

The kid is a little fat now, but he hasn't grown much.

Fang Cun handed her the basket in his hand, and when Lin Shu opened it, it was almost all pickles made by his mother, and some dried beans and dried gourds, or something. There is also a bag of red dates.

Lin Zhu handed the basket to Mama Mei and said, "It's finally here, go and bring me a plate of sour cabbage." ”

The pickles pickled by Cai Er Niangzi are delicious, and I will bring some over every time I go to Fangcun.

In addition to Mama Mei, Lingqing and dexterity in the courtyard, there are four or five little maids, plus a square inch, and a few guards. The pickles pickled by Cai Erniangzi are really delicious, and they are always gone in a day or two.

Especially this year's sour cabbage, which was pickled especially for her.

The sour cabbage is really delicious, sour and crunchy with a bit of spicy, a bit of pickled pepper flavor. The white cabbage is served with red carrots and some emerald green beans. It is just served like this, no processing is required.

Lin Zhu quickly ate a plate.

"Mama Mei, splash it with dried chili cooked oil and put some vinegar. Let's eat it with rice. Leave me some of this sour cabbage. ”

Pickles are delicious though. But it's not good to eat too much. If you are pregnant with a child, it is better to eat less.

Mama Mei smiled and said, "Little madam, Mama Li over there has asked me several times, so I have to leave a little for her this time." ”

Some people are worried about the good, which means that the mother's craftsmanship is recognized.

Mama Lee in advance. Lin Zhu asked, "Mama Mei, have you been there to see it these days?" Princess, she didn't have any moths, did she? ”

Mama Mei sighed and said, "Hey, the princess is not a good stubble. finds fault every day, and there is no maid in the house who is not beaten by her. Mama Li didn't dodge. And Steward Chen, his leg is still lame these days. ”

Hitting people every day? So vicious?

Lin Zhu asked puzzledly: "Why does she beat people every day?" What happened to them all of her? ”

Mama Mei said, "What can I do? Isn't it just to prevent her from leaving the house. Don't you let her near this wall? Also, she asked Mama Li and Steward Chen to invite the little lady over to chat with her. When they would not have been, they were beaten. ”

It's all for her, Lin Zhu felt guilty.

said: "Mama Mei, it's all my fault." Otherwise, I'll go and see. I can't see if she can eat it. ”

People are beaten for her every day. It's a bit of a stretch.

Mama Mei hurriedly said, "No, little lady, don't." If you want to pass, the hard work of the prince will be in vain. Their beatings were in vain. ”

"But, I really don't want to go. You said that this Sima Yunzhu is also a princess, shouldn't the princess have compassion? Even if you hate me, you can't be angry with others. Besides, it's not my fault. ”

She was in a bad mood for a moment.

Mama Mei hurriedly said: "Little lady, don't blame yourself too much, this matter really has nothing to do with you." It was the princess herself who didn't figure it out. In fact, as long as she is a wife and has a name, she still wants everything, where is there such a good thing. Our princess Mingzhu doesn't want to marry, where can I marry her, it was forced by the emperor, if she wants to blame the emperor, she will blame the emperor,"

Lin Zhu said: "That's what I said, but they were all beaten and punished because of me. I'm very upset about it. Mama Mei, I still have some silver in that drawer, three hundred taels, you take it to them, it is a little bit of my heart. ”

Mama Mei hurriedly said: "Little lady, no, we have this little silver left here, and we have to give birth during the New Year." ”

I don't know why, Dingyuan hasn't sent money for several months, and the government's expenses are all from the old capital.

There is nothing left of the old book.

That's right.

Lin Zhu didn't worry about money, but the current situation was that Jin Xiaoguang's calligraphy and ink were not there, she just had gold, silver and jewelry in her hand, and she didn't know where to sell them. I didn't dare to sell it, for fear that I would get into some trouble.

Mama Mei is right, she is about to give birth. I don't dare to use this bit of silver.

She thought for a while and said, "It's okay not to give it first, you go and tell the people over there, just say what I said, they have suffered, and when the prince comes back, one hundred taels per person will be regarded as compensation." ”

Mama Mei hurriedly agreed.

She knew that this little lady could do what she said. The prince will definitely fulfill her wishes.

Mama Mei left, Lin Zhu looked at the empty sour cabbage plate, and thought of Jin Xiaoguang.

I don't know if he went smoothly or not.

I still stayed obediently and waited for the child to come up and down before making plans. , I really can't do it, so I will find a chance to go to my uncle's side to live for a while.

After another ten days, by the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed in the morning.

This year, it has been dry in the east, and it has snowed once or twice in winter.

Mama Mei smiled and walked in with a stack of New Year's paintings, and said, "Little lady, this year, there will be a certain golden boy and jade girl on this door, you can see if these two children are good-looking." ”

Lin Zhu saw that the antique New Year's picture was a pair of chubby pink carved dolls, bending her beautiful eyes and smiling.

smiled and said, "It's good-looking, stick it." ”

Lingqing is dexterous, carrying peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, red dates, and apples and winter pears stored in the cellar.

Under the eaves, on the trees and even on the courtyard walls, red lanterns are hung.

Even the wooden houses were hanging.

It's jubilant, a bit of a New Year's flavor.

Lin Zhu looked at the busy maids and servants, but his heart was a little empty.

I want Jin Xiaoguang even more, Bao Zhen Baoxi, and Jiu'er Sima Mingzhu, my father and mother,...... I even miss that Lin Zhang a little. 、

felt that such a joyful day had nothing to do with her, it was all someone else's.

She silently walked into the house, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and swallowed them in a very boring way.

It is said that every festive season is more than a family.

Not only do I miss my relatives, but I also think of dozens of times hundreds of times.

But she knew she couldn't help it even if she thought about it again. Bao Zhen Baoxi has something important to do, her father and mother can't come over, she doesn't want to involve her father and mother, and she can't go back.

Thinking of the previous year, even if it was a poor year, it was also lively, at least around me was my father and mother who loved me.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, with big fish and meat plus a few side dishes.

Fang Yuanfang was still sticking to her post, and she asked someone to send them a copy and a jar of wine. A table was set up for a few little maids.

Only then did he sit down with Mama Mei Lingqing dexterously around the table. ，

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a cold wind. The lanterns outside the house were blown and swayed.

Lin Zhu picked up the chopsticks and said, "Come, move the chopsticks." You see, I have a big belly, so I don't toast you to drink, you eat your own food and drink by yourself, and the New Year is over, so lively. ”

Mama Mei put a cup of fragrant hot tea in front of her and said, "Little lady doesn't drink wine and drink some hot tea, come and eat for the two of you." ”

Lin Zhu picked up the teacup and said, "Then I will replace the wine with tea and toast you." Follow me to make you wronged," he said, taking a sip lightly. ”

Mama Mei responded to her call and stood up and drank the wine in front of her.

After saying a few words of loyalty, they all sat down.

I took out a few red envelopes from the drawer next to them and handed them out, saying, "A little meaning, everyone has a happy New Year, and the coming year will be even better." ”

Mama Mei hesitated a little, she didn't expect that this little lady was not very old, and she grew up in the people, she was still a little maid who grew vegetables, and she knew how to distribute red envelopes.

She hesitated for a moment to open the red envelope, and there were eighteen taels of silver in it. Lingqing next to him was also a little surprised.

They don't have much money per month, only three taels of silver, and Mama Mei has so much.

The two also opened, eight taels.

So much.

Mama Mei hurriedly wrapped up the silver and put it on the table and said, "Little lady, no, you still have to keep it for production." ”

The little lady is still a month to give birth, and the silver really can't be spent indiscriminately.

Lingqing glanced at each other dexterously, and slowly put the silver on the table.

He said, "Yes, little lady, we don't need any silver for the time being. ”

Lin Zhu smiled faintly and said: "You all take it, you follow me to be afraid, what is this bit of silver, now I have no ability." , Wait, when the prince comes back, I will ask him to give you a lot of rewards, so that Mama Mei will not have to worry about supporting her in the future, and you both have a rich dowry. ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but stuff the red envelopes to them, and took out two red envelopes, twenty taels of broken silver and a few pieces of red paper, and said: "These two are for Fang Yuan, and these will be divided among them." , to the goalkeeper also points, less is less, a little heart. (To be continued.) )
