An Rongzhou did the same as he said, he didn't do anything else in the afternoon, just took Qingyang and them around. If Qingshu hadn't sent someone to find them back, they wouldn't have known to come back if they were crazy.

When the group rushed back from Zhuangzi, it was dark. The ancient housekeeper and a few family members were standing at the gate of the mansion looking anxiously. Seeing that the carriages and horses and personnel in the house had returned, he was relieved and welcomed everyone into the house.

It was really not early, and everyone had a hasty meal and rested in peace. An Rongzhou was arranged in the guest room, took a shower and fell asleep. Xiao Zhixian was invited by Lord Yu to make arrangements, so there was no need for Qingshu to bother.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, after breakfast, Qingyang and the others went to the school, and Qingshu sent someone to buy sixty catties of pork and all the meat and bones from the meat stall to come back. Only five catties of lean meat, five catties of pork belly, and more than a dozen catties of meat and bones were left in the house, and all the rest were sent to Zhuangzi.

At this time, An Rongzhou, who got up early and went out of the house, came back. Qing Shu saw him in the study.

He unhurriedly first looked at Qingshu's study, and finally stopped in front of the bookshelf, took a book from the bookshelf and flipped it out a few times and put it back, "The girl's family has actually collected so many agricultural books, this hobby is a little strange." ”

"No one is as strange as you. Say, Zhou Boyan is not here, what are you doing? She guessed that An Rongzhou did not show his true side in front of her, and that kind of hanging-up style was not his nature.

"Watch you, don't let you run around." He rightly said, "Don't let you run to dangerous places." When he saw the paper stuff that was stuck in a pile of peasant books, he sighed, and he had already taken out what he had found. Seeing that it was folded rice paper, he looked back at Qing Shu and asked, "Is it okay to take a look?" ”

"What do you mean by 'not letting you run to dangerous places'? Make it clear. She asked, frowning.

He walked across from Qing Shu, sat down in a chair, and unfolded the rice paper in his hand and placed it on the bookcase. When he saw the pattern drawn on the rice paper, he sighed again, touched his chin and looked carefully, "There are houses, trees, and walls, can you build a new house?" ”

"Can't you?" She was visibly unhappy with his behavior.

"Yes, of course. It's just that it is said to be a house, but it doesn't look like a house. He looked at it for a while, "I see, it's going to build a grange." He wondered again, "It's just that the house is so small, the empty space is so big, and the fence is too big!" Is this to enclose all the fields? ”

This is a simple plan made by Qing Shu herself, and it is not standard, she feels that she can do it if she knows what is going on, and she doesn't ask others to understand. However, he was right, she did plan to enclose some of the fields within the fence, but not this year. So she replied, "I am considering," and asked, "Did Mrs. Li commit a major crime?" "That day, after Lord Xiao escorted Mrs. Li and more than 20 other people away, he did not escort them to the yamen, let alone send them to the county jail, but escorted them out of the county seat. When he arrived outside the county seat, Lord Xiao handed everyone over and handed them over to the men who made cloth clothes, that is, An Rongzhou's people. Her people only followed here, and only went back to return to her after seeing Mrs. Li being escorted away.

"It's better that you don't know what she's done. Rest assured, she is no longer a threat to you. He was sure of what he said, and he didn't look like he was faking it at all.

"That, the book ......" What she thinks is ridiculous, others don't necessarily think so, so she cares a lot about the absurdity mentioned in the book, that is, the absurd bullshit prophecy.

"There are no books, understand?" He raised his head and stared at Qing Shu with a serious look that he had never seen before, "Remember, there are no books. ”

She was surprised, and stunned, as if she understood something, and seemed to understand nothing, but she still nodded, "Yes, no books, nothing." ”

He lowered his head and continued to study the drawing on rice paper, "Why did you go to see her?" ”

She was stunned for a moment and replied, "Last year, she wanted to steal the stuffing recipe from the bun shop. Fortunately, I found it in time, although there was some loss, but fortunately she didn't succeed. In the new year, she coveted my red fruit again, and sent someone to steal the red fruit seedlings from my vegetable field. For this reason, I approached her to ask for an explanation, and by the way, I taught her a lesson or two. ”

"It seems that the strange thing in her precious pot is the seedlings of the red fruit. Now that I have this thing as proof, I have completely plucked you clean. There's nothing to worry about, and I don't have to do anything superfluous. Hehe...... It saves me a lot of trouble. Truth be told, you're in luck. He seemed to have something good in mind and laughed, "Haha...... In this way, all the red fruits planted in your house are exactly the same as the one of her treasure, and you can't refute it if you want to. Great, when the red fruit is ripe, I will definitely come to stay for ten days and half a month, and then leave when I have eaten enough. ”

In the end, Mrs. Li succeeded, and she asked urgently, "Where is the pot of rice you said now?" Can you give it back to me? "Since Sun Desheng was arrested on the spot, where did Mrs. Li come from? There's something wrong with this, and she's going to have to look it up.

He said sternly, "Since it is evidence, naturally it cannot be returned to you." In the blink of an eye, he suddenly returned to his previous state, and grinned, "Don't worry, I promise not to let it fall into the hands of others, and I will personally hold it to the saint." If the saint is pleased, he may reward you with something good, and then he will divide half of you. ”

She was speechless.

"The eldest brother will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, if the younger sister has anything to give to the saint, although it is prepared, the eldest brother guarantees that it will be delivered in good condition."

She said angrily, "No, what good can I have?" ”

"Yes, yes, strange and good things others don't necessarily have, but my sister must have them." He stood up and walked out without a proper shape, and when he was about to leave the door, he said, "Remember to prepare more good things!" By the way, to reiterate, don't walk around, it's dangerous. ”

"Wait, I haven't made it clear yet, don't go." She shouted.

Already out the door, he raised his voice and said, "Remember, don't wander around, that's what the kid said." ”

"Hey, you're back." However, there was no response to her words, and he left without looking back. What the hell is this man here for? She sighed, sat alone for a moment, put away the rice paper spread out on the table, and put it back in its place.

The days went on, and the laborers toiled and busy for a total of four days, and finally put the winter wheat of fifty acres into the storehouse before the rain changed. Because of the rain, everyone rested for a long time, and then began to turn the wheat stubble, apply fertilizer, and then turn the ridges of the field, ready to plant the next crop.

Steward Wu mentioned that the crop species of this stubble is 30 acres of late bud valley and 20 acres of cabbage. Qingshu nodded in agreement.

Regarding the matter of planting the second crop, Gu Dashu specially went to Zhuangzi to ask for advice on behalf of the villagers of Xiaogujia Village. Steward Wu told him that it was okay to plant beans and cabbage, and specially ordered that the master would buy a large number of red beans and Chinese cabbage in autumn, and it would be collected by the villagers of Xiaogujia Village first.

Gu Dashu thanked him for leaving a large jar of good wine with him, and went back with his hands behind his back with a happy face. Not to mention that the winter wheat planted in their village with Gufu can be sold at a good price, and the next crop planted with red beans and Chinese cabbage will not be sold, because Gufu will collect it. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, walked all the way home, and shouted when he entered the house, "Boss, hurry up and invite your second grandfather over, just say that Dad wants to invite him to drink at the old man's house." It doesn't count if he sent the eldest son out, but when he saw the second son coming back from outside, he sent it again, "Go, get some copper plates with your mother, and come back with a pot of wine." ”

Chen came out of the kitchen with a tuft of rice, "What happened to you?" When you enter the door, you shout that you want to drink. ”

Gu Dashu motioned for Chen to enter the house, and then told him about it.

Chen was happy to hear this, and immediately took the copper plate out and handed it to his second son, "Make a pot of wine, and buy a bag of peanuts and rice with wine." ”

After a few days, the buds and cabbage on the ancient Zhuangzi were planted. The villagers of Xiaogujia Village ate the reassuring pills and planted red beans and Chinese cabbage. One family in Dagujia Village followed the trend and planted bud grains, while other families planted beans and Chinese cabbage.

At the end of this farming work, the people on the Zhuangzi can finally take a breath. But there is still a lot of work, because there is a happy event to be organized.

When the women of the Zhuang family get married, there are few who can sit in a sedan chair, and most of them have a red hijab on their heads, and they marry to their husband's family on a cart pulled by oxen prepared by their husband's family. The husband's family can't get an ox cart, and there are those who ride donkeys to marry. No matter how bad the conditions are, he will follow his husband and marry him.

Getting married, for a woman, is once in a lifetime. These brides have been criticized more than once in the village because of their status as old girls. In order to give these brides and their families a long face, and in order to give a long face to his subordinates, although Qingshu did not give them a big wedding, he did not pay much attention to it.

Like the first five brides, the bridegroom has a tall horse to ride, followed by four sedan chair men who carry the flower bridge, a man and a matchmaker. These matchmakers were all found with the help of Mrs. Cheng. Although Cheng Niangzi is a matchmaker, she doesn't know how to doppelganger, how can she appear in nine welcoming teams at the same time. Therefore, Cheng Niangzi found these matchmakers from inside and outside the town. Although peers are jealous, there are copper plates to earn, which matchmaker who is approached will push away such a good errand.

Before dawn, the people in Zhuangzi quickly got up and washed up. After a hasty breakfast, the big guys got busy. The matchmaker also arrived, and the nine groom officials set off with their own wedding teams to pick up the relatives.

Except for Qing Shu, the master who is relatively idle, everyone else is busy and does not touch the ground. Steward Wu and the Gu steward who came to help were even busier, because the two of them were responsible for the overall scheduling, and they had to pay attention to all aspects, and they didn't let go of any details, just so that one qiē could be carried out smoothly.

Gu Dashu's wife, Chen, brought eight women from the village to help, and Gu Dashu's eldest son, Gu Zheda, also brought a dozen young people to help. Gu Erfeng from Dagujia Village also came, and he was joined by three young people from the same village.

Gufu Grange opened its doors and was in full swing to organize happy events, and when the time was about to end, a welcoming party finally returned.

The children who were playing outside the Zhuangzi gate saw them from afar and shouted that the bride was coming.

The ancient housekeeper immediately appeared at the door of Zhuangzi, shouting at the firecrackers to hurry up.

In the sound of crackling firecrackers, the first bride of the day greeted the door. After that, the greeting teams came back one after another. At the end of the day, before noon, one of the brides who was furthest away was also welcomed back.

At this time, the master of ceremonies presided over and invited Mr. Lu, who had just arrived, to take a seat, and then let nine couples worship together. After worshipping, the bride is sent into the cave room, and the wedding feast begins.

Qing Shu, who was in control of a qiē, did not appear in front, but hid in his small courtyard, lazily leaning and half-lying on the bed. Now that the bachelors on the Zhuangzi have married their ladies and come back, it won't be long before many small radish heads will be added to the Zhuangzi. As the population increased, there were more people to eat, and the burden on her shoulders also increased. Moreover, there are many people and they all have their own small families, and small conflicts that were not there before will follow. Management must be strengthened, and management methods must also be changed. If Wu Guan finds out, it's okay, but if he can't find out, he has to be ordered by her master.

She suddenly felt depressed. Marrying back the ladies of the bachelors under his command is equivalent to adding a burden and trouble to yourself. But yes! How could she not comply with such an important matter as reproduction and human development?
