Chapter 16 Aunt Hua borrowed Xiaoke

Yao Huang acted quickly, and when he returned home, everyone had just eaten. After eating, Yao Hong and Yao Huang planted baskets of insecticide-repellent plants in the yard, leaning against the courtyard wall with a heavy circle of pitcher plants and cordyceps, and mint planted under the roots of the house, especially by the window.

Throwing away the shovel, Yao Huang exhaled, "Okay, there will be no more mosquitoes in our house in the future." ”

Yao Hong stood up and thumped her sore waist, and asked Yao Huang, "Erya, can these grasses really repel mosquitoes?" ”

"Of course." Yao Huang pointed to peppermint and said to his eldest sister, "This plant is called peppermint, which is one of the traditional Chinese medicines, which can be used internally to treat symptoms such as typhoid fever, headache, eye redness, body heat, throat, gum swelling and pain, and external use can treat neuralgia, itchy skin, rash and eczema." Usually using mint to make tea can also clear the heart and eyes. Mosquitoes don't like the smell very much. ”

He also pointed to pitcher plants and cordyceps, "Although pitcher plants and cordyceps are plants, they are not vegetarians. Insects are their feed, and as long as mosquitoes fly near them, they cannot escape their prey and become their nourishment. ”

Yao Hong trembled when she heard this, "Is it okay to plant such a terrible plant at home?" Will it hurt the little brother and Xiao Ke? ”

"Sister, don't worry, these plants only eat insects and are harmless to people."

"That's good, I'll rest assured of you."

"What are the two sisters doing, so happy?" The village chief's wife walked in from outside the gate with a smile, and her eyes saw two small ones sitting under the tree writing big characters carefully one by one, and envy flashed in her eyes. It's good to have a scholar in the family, even if this person is not in good health, but the children can follow the enlightenment to read from an early age, and they are also scholars when they grow up, and they can rely on the imperial examination, and the future is immeasurable. It's a pity that there are no girls in my family, otherwise I will order the two small ones first, and I will be able to follow some light in the future. Thinking of this, the village chief's wife couldn't help but complain, her eldest daughter-in-law has been married for a year but there has been no movement at all, won't she be a mother who doesn't lay eggs?

"Aunt Hua, why are you here? Please come and sit down. The two sisters hurriedly greeted the village chief's wife, Yao Hong pulled someone to the house, and Yao Huang went into the kitchen to bring tea to the village chief's wife, and brought out a plate of fried peanuts for the two children to make snacks.

"Don't bother, I'll just say a few words and leave." As the village chief's wife spoke, her eyes glanced at the plate in Yao Huang's hand, and she couldn't help but smile widely. The two sisters of the Yao family are very good, and they greet themselves with the longevity fruit, and they seem to respect themselves very much, the wife of the village chief. What, this plate of longevity fruit is five taels of silver a plate in the middle of Baiwei. The family didn't care to greet the guests, and they must have made a lot of money. Well, when the harvest is in the field, we must plant the long-lived fruit as soon as possible. According to the second girl of the Yao family, from planting to harvesting, the longevity fruit can be harvested in more than 80 days and 90 days at most, and if you can catch up with it, you can harvest and sell it in November, just after a fat year. In an instant, the thoughts of the village chief's wife had turned several corners, and if it wasn't for Yao Hong calling her, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to come back.

"Aunt Hua, why do you have time to come and see us today? What about Cuihua's sister-in-law? Yao Huang asked. Since she went to the village chief with the good dishes she cooked, Cuihua's sister-in-law came to Yao's house twice in three days to learn cooking with the two sisters, and now she has learned six or seven points of their skills. Yao Huang Zhilu said that Cuihua's sister-in-law would tell her mother-in-law in detail about the cooking skills she learned when she went home, so Aunt Hua also learned a lot of cooking methods, and when she came today, the first reaction of the two sisters was that Aunt Hua came to learn to cook in person?

"She didn't come. My aunt came to borrow Xiao Ke from you this time. Aunt Hua's eyes were on the little bun who was struggling with the brush. Because the little bun has eaten well during this time, there has grown a lot of meat on his body, and his skin has become white from sallow to white, and he is very cute and chubby, because he is holding the brush improperly, his little face is stained with ink, and with his serious expression, Aunt Hua wants to hold the bun in her arms and kiss it fiercely.

"Xiao Ke?" The two sisters glanced at each other and looked at Aunt Hua suspiciously.

Aunt Hua smiled, "Look, I didn't make it clear." That's the case, the child of the pillar marries a daughter-in-law, and only Xiao Ke is the youngest in the village, so he wants Xiao Ke to be a happy child and press a new bed for the pillar. ”

"Brother Zhuzi is going to get married, when?" The two sisters were very surprised, they hadn't heard any movement beforehand, and there was no process for Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, and asking for a date, so why did they get married?

"The day after tomorrow, you are going to come and drink the wedding wine." Aunt Hua said. Guan Zhuzi was her nephew, and her brother and sister-in-law died young, leaving only one son. As an elder, Aunt Hua often takes care of him and treats him as if he were her own son. Now that Guan Zhuzi is married, Aunt Hua is the most worried.

"So tight?" Yao Huang asked a little dumbfounded, wouldn't it be impossible to cover up "human life"? If this is the case, it is indeed necessary to marry the woman into the door as soon as possible, otherwise both families will be ridiculed and gossip, and the woman will be looked down upon. However, Guan Zhuzi is very honest and honest, and he should not do such a thing as getting on the bus first and then making up the ticket.

When Aunt Hua heard Yao Huang's question, her expression distorted, then returned to normal, and said with a disguised smile, "The woman is the maid of the Jin family in the city, and the mother of the Jin family took pity on her for her old age, and kindly let her go out of the house to marry." The pillar of my family was lucky, and was chosen by the mother of the Jin family, and not only got a daughter-in-law for nothing, but also got a dowry of ten taels of silver. The mother of the Jin family understands that the pillar is only alone, so she does not ask for six rites or anything like that, and directly lets the two of them get married. ”

Yao Huang pouted secretly, the maid and the housewife of a big family? If she wasn't tired, she wrote her name upside down.

"The so-called God loves the humble man, Brother Zhuzi is good and honest, God will give him a good daughter-in-law." Yao Hong smiled and complimented.

"I love to hear that." Aunt Hua was happy when she heard this, patted Yao Hong's hand and said, "Big girl, it's decided, I'll come over tomorrow night to pick up Xiaoke to Zhuzi's house, and you will pick him up when you go to drink Zhuzi's wedding wine the day after tomorrow." ”

Yao Hong hurriedly agreed. Aunt Hua chattered a few more words, grabbed a handful of peanuts and left.

"Hey, the time is too rushed, I don't know what to send as a gift." Yao Hong frowned.

"It's simple, just pack a basket of peanuts and put two handkerchiefs you embroidered. At most, I'll take two more pheasants or rabbits and send them along. Yao Huang didn't think gift-giving was a problem.

"Wouldn't it be a little too easy?" Yao Hong asked hesitantly.

"Eldest sister, a basket of peanuts costs at least one or two silver to sell outside, and the wedding is so rushed, the people in the village don't have time to prepare congratulatory gifts, they must send their own local products to the past, our family must be the best."

"Then let's do it." Yao Hong felt that her sister was polite, and nodded in agreement.

The next day, Wenren Chiba was already able to get out of bed. Yao Hong thought that the medicine prescribed by the old doctor was good, and she was grateful to the old doctor. But I didn't know that these were the effects of Xiao Pei Yuan Dan, not only did Wen Ren Qianye's body improve, but her own body and the bodies of her two children also went up a big step. Not only that, Yao Huang also quietly gave the two children the Tianling Pill. The elixir is a panacea for increasing intelligence and memory, fools can return to normal after taking it, and normal people can become extremely smart and unforgettable after eating it.

Wenren Chiba, who was in good spirits, was also in a good mood, although Yao Hong nervously asked him to add an extra piece of clothing before allowing him to sit under the persimmon tree and check the two small homework. He was surprised to find that the two little ones were much better at school than a few days ago, Xiao Ke could actually memorize "Hundred Family Names" in one go, and Yao Qing could memorize it backwards after reading the article. Incredible! Hearing that the two children are smart, but now they are too smart. Abnormal is a demon, Wenren Qianye turned her gaze to the window of Yao Huang's room, and the two small changes must be inseparable from her.

I also suffered a great benefit from her, last night, while Yao Hong was asleep, I heard that Qianye had run the internal strength that had not been mobilized for many years, and found that all the skills had recovered, and the meridians that had been injured had not only recovered, but also grown a lot. The miracle of all things is not something that the old doctor's tonic can achieve, it must be something that Yao Huang secretly gave him. It was his luck to be part of the Yao family, Yao Huang's sect had so many powerful pills, it must be an incomparably mysterious and powerful sect. With such a sect to rely on, even if those people in the capital want to hurt the Yao family, they can't.

"Yes, you two are not lazy." Wenren Chiba nodded in the face of two pairs of shiny eyes begging for praise, "I'll teach you a new one today." Xiaoqing, you read "Ji's" first, I will teach Xiao Ke a thousand words first, and I will explain the meaning of the article to you later. ”

"Yes, brother-in-law." Yao Qing consciously opened the Analects and read it aloud.

"The heaven and the earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and the moon are shining. The cold comes and goes, the autumn harvest and the winter are hidden, the leap is more than the age, and the law is adjusted to the sun. The clouds cause rain, the dew becomes frost, the gold gives birth to beautiful water, and the jade comes out of Kungang. The sword number is Juque, the pearl is called the luminous, the fruit is treasured Li Ji, and the vegetable is heavy mustard ginger. The sea is salty, the scales are dive and the feathers are flying, the dragon master is the fire emperor, and the bird official is the emperor. The first text, is to wear clothes, push the position to give the country, there is Yu Tao Tang ......"

The voice of a deep adult man accompanied by the sound of milky buns mixed with the sound of reading a book was carried outside the courtyard, and the faces of passers-by could not help but show envy and respect......

"Yo, still studying?"

Yao Hong got up and greeted Aunt Hua, "Aunt Hua, why are you here so early?" ”

"Hehe, I thought about picking up Xiao Ke to get used to it first, so I came early." Aunt Hua said as she glanced in the direction of the persimmon tree, "I didn't disturb them, did I?" ”

"This ......" Yao Hong glanced at Wenren Qianye, Wenren Qianye nodded at her, Yao Hong smiled and said, "No, it's almost over." You sit down for a while, and wait for me to change into Xiao Ke's auspicious clothes......"
