Chapter Seventy-Three: Husband and Wife's Night Talk
The wheat harvest is over, and Zhuangzi is tired enough except for Shuyun, adults and children.
This is not Qian Afu and Qian Liu's two people had dinner hastily, and they didn't even take a bath, so they went to the kang to rest. Although the husband and wife were very tired, they were in a high mood and couldn't sleep for a while, so the two chatted. "Huh? Her mother, why did you say that there was so much wheat on our village this year, and I calculated that one mu can harvest almost 7 or 8 stones. When we put aside our hometown, we have a good year, and even the best good land in the landlord's house will be collected for 5 stones, and it will be about 3 stones in normal times. That would have to be carefully tended by people all day. If we want to only weed and weed like sheep on our Zhuangzi, and don't care about anything else, it's not sure what will happen. ”
Qian Liu glanced at Qian Afu and said, "Just worry about you, isn't it good to fight too much food?" ”
Qian Afu was still very afraid, and after listening to Qian Liu's gentle advice, he said, "Okay, I didn't say it was bad, didn't I just ask?" ”
"What is there to ask, you didn't see Keju and the torturer all day long around the owner to ask questions, but all the questions were about our crops, and before planting wheat last year, the owner said that this wheat seed was improved. High yield, resistance to pests and diseases, resistance, alas? What else? Qian Liu couldn't think of what Shuyun had said for a while, so he poked Qian Afu and asked.
Taken by Qian Liu's obscenity, although he couldn't remember it, he didn't dare not answer, so Qian Afu didn't say anything for a long time.
Liu was so angry that he said, "I don't know what to ask, what else do you say?" Are you embarrassed to inquire here? ”
Don't look at Qian Afu, it's quite like talking and doing things outside now, but he is used to being scolded by Qian Liu's family at home. Besides, Qian Liu has always been more shrewd and refreshing than him. So no matter what Qian Liu said, Qian Afu didn't dare to squeak.
Qian Liu thought about it again. slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, it's good anywhere anyway." ”
Qian Afu hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes." It's just okay to do anything. ”
"Well, so there's a lot of food in this area, what's so strange. Besides, this old man is all following the study, I heard that they were sent by the emperor, and the emperor is greedy, so this wheat seed is still bad. There are also potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes on our Zhuangzi, which ones are not easy to grow? That doesn't make it productive? And the tomatoes, asparagus, and cherries you've seen before? ”
Qian Afu echoed again, "Don't say I've seen it, I've never heard of it." And the watermelon and the melon, why are they so sweet. It's delicious. ”
Qian Liu also smiled and said, "No, why do you think our owner is so capable?" You see how we live now, this is the life of a person. Follow the owner well, let's enjoy happiness in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Qian Afu became angry, and said with a smile, "Isn't it?" In the past, even if the two of us were capable, it wasn't that we didn't eat the last meal. It's not welcome anywhere, and the scolding of 'turtles' is light. It's like now, no one calls us a money steward wherever we go. Mr. Qian. The shopkeepers of those big restaurants in the city, for the sake of the fish and shrimp in our pond, don't follow us all day long and serve with tea and water. ”
Qian Liu looked at her husband's smug appearance and said lightly, "Look at your beauty, pay back the money." What kind of master are you? If it weren't for our owner, how could you have your share of Qian Afu's Se, I can tell you. You give me some rules, if you do something that the owner doesn't want to see. I can't spare you. ”
"Hey, hey. Mother, look at you. How can it? My Qian Afu has a few pounds and a few taels, and I don't know how to do it, how can I be so ignorant. If it weren't for the owner, we would not only be able to eat enough and dress warmly like we are now. And the chicken, duck and fish meat can be made vigorously, and you can take two sips of wine without trouble. In the winter, there are fresh vegetables to eat, and then look at the clothes we are wearing, how soft and bright the fabric is. You also rubbed rouge. This day is beautiful! I'm afraid that the landlord of our hometown can't compare. ”
Qian Liu sneered, "What about the landlord who returned the king, just him?" He can eat a month with a salted duck egg. Compare him to what we are now, and look at your little bit of interest. I've heard that there are many princes and nobles who can't eat this fresh dish in winter. ”
"Hehe, isn't it? In the past, I always felt that the life of the landlord's family was good, and I thought that when we could live like that, but now that I think about it carefully, the landlord is really not as good as us. ”
Speaking of this, Qian Afu couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and said, "Alas, thinking of those days ago, not only did we suffer, but even the dog and Nier also suffered with us. It's like now, I don't think about anything all day long, except for school, it's just crazy play, and I talk in a set, I can't talk about him as a father. ”
When it comes to these little children, Qian Liu's mother is happy from the bottom of her heart. also smiled and echoed, "Isn't it, this is a book, it's just different, I don't understand what they sometimes say." Also, don't bark old dogs and Nier, they should be unhappy. Didn't you say that let's call them their big names - Qinfeng, Dening? Alas, but it would be better if he could be as good as the Deyan of the Mizugen family. ”
"Her mother, I'm going to talk about you, don't be dissatisfied, our dog is Qinfeng and Dening, although they are not as good as the ladies of the old Ding family, but they will definitely be able to make a difference in the future. Follow our host, you can't be wrong. Let's just wait for help. Besides, as long as the child can be fed, clothed, and grow up safely. Better than anything else. Regarding the child's problem, Qian Afu is very principled, and although he is afraid of guilt, he still seriously refutes Qian Liu.
"I don't want to compare with others, I just feel that we have received so many benefits from the owner, and there is nothing to repay, if the children are out in the future, it is better to repay the kindness of the owner for us."
"That's what you're talking about. However, let's not worry about it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Let's do our own work and share more for the owner. As for the children, that's all for later. Besides, our host family is protected by the eldest brother of the Chen Dong family. is favored by the emperor again, and now she is pregnant with a little prince, and she will be a mother in the future. How noble that is. It would be nice if the children didn't bother to go to the host's house in the future, and the landlord would have somewhere to ask them for help. ”
Qian Liu lowered his voice and reprimanded, "Stop it." The emperor and the mother's are what people like us can say. The proprietor didn't tell it a long time ago. Is it forbidden to talk about royal affairs at any time and in any place? Besides, those Manchurian emperors are ruthless, killing people is like killing chickens. I don't know what will happen in the future, but we will protect the owner better than anything else. We can't say this anymore, even those bankers have to be controlled, so as not to make trouble for the owner. ”
Qian Afu muttered, "Knowing the way, knowing the way, let me not say it, you still say it"
Qian Liu glared and said, "What are you muttering?" ”
As soon as Qian Afu saw that Qian Liu was angry, he immediately changed the topic. The husband and wife began to look forward to a better life in the future. Sometimes the wishes of these little people are often so simple - to be fed, warmly dressed, and the wives and children are hot on the kang. If you can be respectfully praised for two more sentences, then you feel that you have nothing else to ask for in this life.
The next day is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month - the Dragon Boat Festival. This is a traditional festival of the Han people. It is said to have evolved in honor of Qu Yuan, one of the greatest romantic poets in our country.
As the saying goes, "Insert willows in the Qingming Festival, insert wormwood in the Dragon Boat Festival, don't wear wormwood during the Dragon Boat Festival, and become a monster when you die." Early in the morning, the farmers and the children went to the nearby mountains to pick mugwort, and when they came back, they put the mugwort on the door frame.
Here in the capital, it is forbidden to dig well water during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is often drawn in advance before the festival, which is said to be to avoid well poison. Market vendors also sell cherry mulberries during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is said that cherry mulberries are eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. It can not accidentally eat flies all year round. Big cherries, blueberries, too white apricots, strawberries on the Zhuangzi. The peaches and plums are ripe. With the moisture of space water, it not only matures early, but also tastes delicious. Sweet and juicy. It's festive and inviting to look at. Taking advantage of the festival, Shuyun not only picked a lot of points for everyone to try. I also sent a lot to the families of the two old men Xu and Lu and the family of Sister-in-law Osmanthus.
Of course, Kangxi's Shuyun will not be left behind. It was disposed of early in the morning, packed and sent Bayan to the palace with people.
And during the Dragon Boat Festival. The shops also sell "five poisonous cakes", that is, cakes decorated with five kinds of poisonous insect patterns. The style is beautiful and lifelike. Many families also give each other as gifts. The Xu family and the Lu family both sent people to send Shuyun this "five poisonous cakes".
and Osmanthus sister-in-law also personally came with "five poison cakes" and all kinds of snacks. But as soon as they met, Shuyun was counted, "You girl, it took so long to tell me about the emperor's affairs, it's okay to tell my wife, why is there such a big thing as being pregnant, and you don't send someone to say a word, so that I can help you prepare." I saw Dongxue's girl in the store a few days ago and only knew what I said. I hurried over, but I didn't have time to prepare anything. Fortunately, it will be a few more months before I give birth, otherwise my wife will really be blind. Alas, you are alone, and you don't have elders around to take care of you, how can you do that? If you don't catch up with Ming'er, I'll move to Zhuangzi to take care of you temporarily. ”
Shuyun saw that the osmanthus sister-in-law was really a little angry, and hurriedly comforted, "Auntie, don't worry, just rest assured, these grandmothers around me are carefully selected by the emperor himself, and they are very useful." You, just wait to hug your grandson, when the time comes, you will make them two pairs of tiger head shoes, and you will not be able to kill these two little things. ”
Sister-in-law Osmanthus patted Shuyun and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let the emperor hear what you said, hugging your grandson, don't blame us." Then he smiled happily, "Hehe, look at what you said, that's the prince, how can you look at my old woman's craftsmanship?" No, you say the two of them? Are you pregnant with two children? ”
Shuyun smiled and said, "Yes, auntie, I'm pregnant with two." ”
Sister-in-law Osmanthus grabbed Shuyun's hand with some excitement, patted it and said, "I know the way, I know the way."
Then she choked up a little, and after a while, she took the handkerchief handed to her by Shuyun, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "You are a blessed person, I knew that when you were young, you will definitely be happy, now it's okay" said and patted Shuyun's hand again.
Shuyun smiled and didn't speak. However, I also know that in the hearts of Osmanthus sisters-in-law and them, they may feel that a woman can be valued by the emperor, which is a great blessing, and if she is lucky enough to get the prince, it is a gift from God.
