Li Rui looked at himself in the mirror sadly, he had lost a lot of weight, and he was no longer rich.

Ever since he moved into the home, he had to get up before dawn every day to wash and change his clothes. In the early morning, under the supervision of my grandmother, I tended to the vegetable field, drove the ducks out of the bamboo fence by the way, and then picked up duck eggs and watered and fertilized the vegetable field.

Thankfully, he doesn't have to get the fertilizer. Otherwise, he loses weight a little faster.

After finishing the vegetable field and duck pen, he had to return to the field to change his clothes, bring his books, and go to the front yard for class.

I don't have enough to eat at noon every day. He used to eat three bowls of rice per meal, but now his grandmother only eats one bowl for him!! A bowl!! For people like them, the bowl is not much bigger than a fist, how can one bowl be enough!

If Cang Shu hadn't always secretly pretended to be a little bit of heart for him, he would have been hungry!

"Young master, how can you survive like this every day...... Cang Shu wiped his tears, "Mrs. Tai's heart is too ruthless!" I have to get up after five o'clock in the morning, and I only have a bowl of milk porridge and two eggs for breakfast. Even ordinary people eat more than this in the morning, let alone work for a day......"

Li Rui gulped up the jade mung bean cake into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "It's good to have seven tender." I'm afraid that grandma will make something else famous......"

"Otherwise, I'll go and beg Madame secretly, and let Madame think of saving the young master out. You are the young master of the Guogong Mansion, how can you be with those ...... in the fields"

"Yo, Miss Cangshu is the one who treats us as a subordinate?" Mrs. Jiang, who was in charge of the vegetable garden, laughed outside the corner room of Gui Tianyuan, and was so startled that Li Rui and Cang Shu in the room hurriedly stood up.

Cang Shu wiped his tears and quickly opened the door, where Mrs. Jiang was standing outside the door with a food box.

"Mrs. Tai asked me to bring the osmanthus duck and salted egg crisp that the kitchen sent today to Master Rui. Mrs. Tai said, this duck is made of the duck you caught with your own hands, and the duck egg yolk used in this salted egg crisp is pickled in the duck egg you picked. Mrs. Jiang put down the food box and looked at the crumbs that had not been wiped off the corners of Li Rui's mouth, "Mrs. Tai is still worried that Young Master Rui, you won't be able to eat enough these days, I think Mrs. Tai is too worried." With Miss Cangshu here, how could Young Master Rui not be able to eat? ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Cang Shu and Li Rui's expressions as if they had been choked, put down the food box, and turned around to go back to confess.

Li Rui still put on the posture of the master, and refused to beg Mrs. Jiang to go back and not to sue. Cang Shu had already taken off the silver bracelet in his hand, hurriedly ran a few steps forward, stuffed the bracelet into Mrs. Jiang's hand, and said these words like "Grandma Jiang is merciful, Young Master Rui is really hungry and can't stand it", which made Mrs. Jiang's face a little better.

This Mrs. Jiang was originally the family of her husband, a family member surnamed Jiang. There are many soldiers under the command of the old prince who have been disarmed and returned to the fields in the Xinguo Mansion. If the body is still relatively tough, be a nurse; Those with disabilities are in charge of light work such as flowers and trees and koi fish in the lake. The man in Mrs. Jiang's family was originally a school captain, but later broke his leg, and he didn't want to cause trouble in the house with his disability, so he begged the old man to find a job for his mother-in-law. This Mrs. Jiang is also a good hand inside and out at home, so Mrs. Qiu asked her to take care of a few acres of vegetable land in the North Garden.

Mrs. Jiang's family has been a tenant for three generations, and she has been digging in the soil all her life, and the man in her family went to be a soldier because he encountered a famine year after year, and there was no production in the field, and he couldn't survive. So when she heard Cang Shu outside the door say that the people who farm are "sloppy people", she was immediately angry. I thought that when I went back, I would sue this Cangshu for secretly hiding snacks for Young Master Rui, but she was also a person with grandchildren, and when she saw Young Master Rui's face turned white, she had to endure putting out her children's money, and she relented for some reason.

Mrs. Jiang stuffed the bracelet back into Cang Shu's hand, and only said lightly:

"Girl, I don't dare to accept this bracelet. I just hope that the girl will be cautious next time. The old man and Mrs. Tai are both from reckless backgrounds, and half of the people in this house have worked in the fields. The girl has a good fate, and she was sold into the public mansion since she was a child, and she doesn't know the suffering of the world. If the poor people outside don't take care of a few acres of land, I'm afraid the whole family will starve to death. ”

Cang Shu's face was red and white, and the handkerchief in her hand was also wrinkled. She pinched the handkerchief and took a few steps back, and blessed Mrs. Jiang.

Grandma Xie Jiang mentioned. Don't dare next time. ”

Mrs. Jiang avoided and stepped out of the way, not accepting her salute.

"You are the person who serves Young Master Rui, and you are a first-class girl, I don't deserve your courtesy. Young Master Rui, my mother-in-law has to go back to pass the word, so I will retire first. ”

Mrs. Jiang retreated, and walked farther and farther from the corner gate of the Guitian residence.

There were not a few maids left in Guitian Juli, only some rough maids who were responsible for laundry and cleaning. These subordinates are not allowed to get on the stage, and they don't dare to come into the front yard if they have nothing to do, which avoids the embarrassment of Cang Shu and Li Rui.

"This Mrs. Jiang is an old man in the house...... Cang Shu felt that he was quite shameless, and he pinched the handkerchief tightly.

"No, I think she's right." Li Rui walked to the door of the room, picked up the food box and entered the room.

"Young Master!"

"Grandma must have a reason for doing this. If I hadn't worked, I wouldn't have known how hard people outside worked. Grandmother...... It must have been bitter before. Li Rui opened the food box, took a piece of salted egg crisp and tasted it. You don't have to sneak a snack to eat, it's really delicious. ”

In Zhiyun Courtyard, Gu Qing, who was imagined by Li Rui to be very beautiful, was thinking about how to "transform" Li Xiaopang.

"Mama Hua, I'm afraid it's very slow just to expect him to grow vegetables and lose weight, do you think there is a way to hire a martial artist or something, and boil up Rui'er's muscles and bones, so that he can lose weight as soon as possible to the same as ordinary people?"

"If you want to learn martial arts, there are many suitable candidates in the house. Several of the old lady's generals are all raised in the mansion, and they are all warriors with one enemy and ten enemies. But if you want to avoid the eyes and ears of the lady and the old man and ask them to teach Young Master Rui, I am afraid that it will not work. What's more, whether they are willing to teach Young Master Rui is also a question, you know, Young Master Rui's body is ......

Gu Qing sighed. yes, he's that size, hey.

Li Xiaopang squatted on the ground and picked up a duck egg, and he was about to gasp, bending over to touch his toes, which was delusional. I don't know how the Fang family brainwashed him, and actually made him feel that his fat was "rich" and "mighty". Seeing that there was a little less flesh on his face, he often touched his face and sighed like a little old man.

"This matter is not in a hurry, Mama, you can help me find out first. Rui'er now teaches me to learn to write every afternoon, and the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text are already familiar, but he taught me very hard in this 'primary school', and I am very disappointed in his current master, and he can't even teach a 'primary school'! But is there any way to get the government to quit this gentleman? I think Mama Hua and Mama Sun have a very good knowledge, let him learn the 'primary school' first, and lay a good foundation. Four books and five classics and the like, let's slowly draw them. ”

Mama Hua praised Old Taijun Qiu's methods in her heart.

The so-called "teaching and learning", since Young Master Rui taught Mrs. Qiu to read, he has entered the country very quickly, and there has never been a situation of white characters. Moreover, Young Master Rui's calligraphy was taught by Master Meng when he was a child, and he was originally very good, but he neglected to practice. Recently, I have been practicing calligraphy with Mrs. Qiu every day, and in more than a month, his handwriting is now much better than that of Xiangyun and Yanyun.

In such a short period of time, Young Master Rui can make such great progress, in addition to Young Master Rui's natural intelligence, Old Taijun Qiu's persuasion is also inseparable.

Qiu Lao Taijun's talent is also very amazing, if he wasn't born in a poor family, I'm afraid he would also be a boudoir Wenxiu. Not only did she learn words very quickly and never forget them, but once she found out that Young Master Rui was unfamiliar with which character, she deliberately had to practice that character several times.

Thinking of this, Mama Hua couldn't help but reply respectfully:

"My knowledge was taught by the concubine who had nothing to do in the cold palace when she became an adult, and it was not as solid as that Mama Sun had been immersed by Master Meng since she was a child. I look at this 'primary school', and Mama Sun teaches it very well. As for the master's matter, it is also very simple, as long as Mrs. Tai goes to Mrs. Tai's room to say something, just say that Young Master Rui wants to learn farming with you, and he will follow you to learn farm work in the morning, and if he doesn't go to class, Madame will definitely not object. ”

Not only will I not oppose it, but I am afraid that I will be happy to see it come to pass.

"The gentleman who can teach the Four Books and the Five Classics is probably still on the side of Young Master Rui's uncle. It's also simple. The old lady Wang beside Young Master Rui is a loyal protector, and her son is now an official under his uncle's jurisdiction, so I can go and meet the old lady Wang and ask him to bring a letter to my uncle to explain the secret hidden in the mansion. I have to go to the 'Rushi Nunnery' every fifteenth day of the new year to visit Master Shuiyue for you, Mrs. Tai, and I will take advantage of that time to deliver the letter. ”

Master Shuiyue is the legal name of the old man's "aunt" after shaving.

"In this way, I will bother you." Gu Qing felt that the luckiest thing about wearing it in ancient times was that there was a character like Mama Hua by her side. No matter how big or small, as long as you ask yourself, there is always a way to deal with it.

So why should the superior do everything himself? As long as you know how to use people, it's fine.

In the front yard, the Fang clan was discussing the matter of winter clothes with the steward of the sewing room, and suddenly someone reported that Mrs. Tai in the cloud courtyard had sent the big girl Yanyun to pass the word.

Since the last time the old lady intentionally or unintentionally talked about her thin heirs, it took several days for her anger to calm down. The old man comforted her and said some kind things to comfort her, but his expression also looked a little pity. This has made her think about it all the time this month.

Now when she heard the smoke clouds coming, her let go of her heart was lifted again, for fear that the old lady would bring up the old things again.

Among the four big girls beside the old lady, Xiangyun and Yanyun have reached the time when they can match people. Xiangyun has a good appearance and a docile personality; Yanyun has a clever speech, a hearty personality, and a figure that seems to be a good child.

In case the old lady wants to ......

No, it won't. The old lady hates concubines the most.

Yanyun entered the house, blessed the Fang family, and said what he would mean in the future. Fang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Do you want to quit Li Rui's class and go farming instead? What kind of fame is this? Fang's heart naturally had 10,000 consents, but she had been a "virtuous aunt" for a long time, so agreeing like this couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Fang Shi put on a look of concern, and said a little unhappily: "Then how can it be done!" Reading is serious! It's a good story to farm for recreation, how can you do it seriously! If you lose your knowledge for a few days, you will be deserted! ”

Before Yanyun came, Mama Hua had instructed and told her what to say. So Yanyun bent down and said quickly: "Madam, don't you know, Young Master Rui came to the North Garden, and Mrs. Tai even ate a few more bowls of rice every day. Mrs. Tai likes to put down the vegetable field, so Young Master Rui helped Mrs. Tai collect vegetables, and even Mrs. Tai said that Young Master Rui is a good seedling for farming......"

The lady in charge next to her covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled secretly.

The young master of the dignified Guogong Mansion is actually a good seedling for farming.

"Ridiculous!" Fang's face was cold.

"Who's to say it isn't. But Mrs. is serious, and you know it, madam. Yanyun also smiled slightly.

"Mrs. Tai asked me to tell you, if Young Master Rui doesn't want to read, it's useless for anyone to teach him, it's better to learn farming with her, at least it's a skill, and secondly, it's also a companion for her. The old lady said that there were no grandchildren around her knees in her yard, which was a little deserted. If Madame is unwilling to let Young Master Rui stay there, it is okay for Young Master Ming to go......"

"What nonsense! Ming'er is still in my mother's homeschool, and she only comes back once every five days! Fang Shi patted the table next to him and stood up.

"When you go back to the old lady, you will say that if she wants to miss her grandchildren, when Ming'er comes back, ask him to give her the old man a greeting. It is also the negligence of our younger generations, always thinking about letting the two children have a good future, forgetting that the old lady is also very lonely in the garden. ”

Fang's asked Mama Liu to reward Yanyun with two silver bills.

"If the old lady likes Rui'er, let him rest for half a month and accompany the old lady to solve the problem. As for not going to class in the future, I can't be the master of this, so I have to wait for the master to discuss with the master after the court. Such a sloppy one, that's a never-ending thing. ”

As for whether it is half a month later and half a month......

Fang Clan smiled smugly in his heart.

Who knows.
