Cao Wei hesitated, Shu Zheming and the others didn't speak, there were female dependents in the carriage, and they didn't want to leave people behind rashly, they all knew that Shu Chengye was just a polite word, in case they really let Cao Wei stay, then they would wait to be nagged by Shu Chengye.

Cao Wei is a discerning person, and after waiting for a while, he didn't see Shu Zheming and the others speak, so he smiled and clenched his fists: "Lord Shu is kind, Cao should not have resigned, but Cao has some other things, so I won't bother Lord Shu and the sons, and Cao will leave." ”

Shu Chengye was also a little embarrassed, everyone followed Zhuangzi, but when he arrived at the door, he said that it was inconvenient to invite people in, which was really a bit rude: "Since Cao Gongzi has something, then I won't stay more than Cao Gongzi, I look at Cao Gongzi and Zheming They are also considered to be in love, and you and Zheming will travel alone again, and they will be so happy to sing poems and lyrics." ”

"Yes, then I'll write a post when I go back, asking Shu Gongzi Chen Gongzi and Bai Gongzi to hike together." Cao Wei smiled and apologized, said a few more polite words, and then turned around and left. Shu Chengye's side ordered people to drive the carriage into Zhuangzi, and asked the maids to help Shu Manyao and others out.

"Tired or not? There is still some time before lunch, if you are not tired, let's go over there first, there is a small vegetable garden over there, your grandmother has already sent someone to arrange it, this village is full of servants, you can play as you like. Shu Chengye touched his beard and said with a smile: "Zheming and I will go outside Zhuangzi, if you have any problems, just send someone to the mountains over there to find us." ”

Even cousins can't play together. Besides, the purpose of this group of boys coming here is only to escort these girls, so they can't interfere with their play here.

"Yes, Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my sisters." Shu Manyao said with a smile, and called the servant women in the Zhuangzi to come over: "What is there to do in this Zhuangzi?" You take us to see first, my father said there is a small vegetable garden over there, why don't we go pick vegetables? I asked them to make lunch with this. ”

This was asked by Chen Xuerong a few times, Bai Tingting smiled first: "Okay, I've only seen finished vegetables before, and I haven't seen vegetables growing in the ground, let's go over and take a look, I don't know if there are cucumbers to eat at this time." ”

The servant woman nodded hurriedly and smiled: "Yes, in early spring, when the cucumber seedlings are covered with wheat straw, the cucumbers will grow earlier, and they are tender at this time." There is also eggplant, which can also be eaten raw, sweet and delicious. ”

Bai Tingting's eyes immediately widened: "Eggplant can also be eaten raw?" ”

The servant woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, but you have to choose a particularly tender one." There is also a kind of bean, called sweet beans, which also tastes sweet, but the slave maid said that it is endless, and the girls might as well go and see it. ”

Bai Tingting's three younger sisters, one is called Bai Xinxin, one is called Bai Linlin, and the other is called Bai Fenfen, Bai Xinxin and Bai Linlin are the concubines of the Bai family, Bai Fenfen and Bai Tingting are concubines, but Bai Fenfen is still young, so she will only join in the fun: "Sister, hurry, let's go pick an eggplant to eat!" ”

Bai Tingting turned her head to look at Shu Manyao, Shu Manyao smiled and gestured: "Let's go over and take a look, I'm also very curious, I never knew that this eggplant can be eaten raw, and what sweet beans are, and I don't know if it looks the same as mung beans, is there a mung bean here?" ”

"The mung beans haven't grown yet." The servant woman hurriedly said, and as she spoke, she led Shu Manyao and the others over. It is said to be a small vegetable garden, but in fact, the garden is not small, and a little bit of the same vegetable is planted, and more than ten kinds are a piece.

Two servants were waiting here, and when they saw them, they hurriedly saluted, and went down to the field to pick up tender eggplants. Bai Tingting took a bite and threw it away with disgust: "It's not delicious, it's not as good as a cucumber." ”

Bai Fenfen liked it very much: "Big sister, if you don't like it, you can give it to me, I think this eggplant is better when eaten raw than cooked." Hey, what's that? Can you eat it? ”

After an hour's ride, the little girls were a little hungry, and now they almost wanted to take a bite of what they could eat, but fortunately there were many things in this vegetable garden, and even pumpkins could be gnawed raw.

Shu Chengye led Shu Zheming and the others out, and went to the other side to climb the mountain: "There are also a lot of good things on this mountain, just let you climb up, it will be a little boring, let's race, in this grass, there is a kind of grass, it is very easy to identify, let's compare who picks the biggest." ”

What the elders proposed, that is, this game was really boring, and everyone agreed, and was about to go up the mountain, when they suddenly heard a scream not far away, and the voice was still very familiar, it was the voice of Cao Wei who had just left.

"Check it out." Cao Wei is still living in the Shu family, no matter how he says Shu Chengye, he has to go and see it in person to rest assured. Shu Zheming and the others followed, and together they went to the place where the voice came from.

From a distance, I saw Cao Wei sitting on the ground, but the horse he was riding before was gone, and the basket that was originally hanging on the horse's neck was now overturned on the ground, and the snacks in it were spilled, and the wine jar was broken, and the ground was covered with water.

"What's going on?" Shu Chengye hurriedly stepped forward and asked, Cao Wei's face was pale, and his face was a little embarrassed: "Just now I saw that the scenery here was very good, so I got off the horse and prepared to walk, but I didn't expect that the horse suddenly ran forward like crazy, and I dragged the reins of the horse before I could react, and I was dragged to the ground, and the basket was also overturned. ”

"The horses have gone crazy all of a sudden?" Shu Chengye frowned, except for the dirt road in the middle, there was grass all around, and he really couldn't see anything.

Cao Wei nodded, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know if it's inconvenient for Master Shu, if you can, please lend Cao a carriage, Cao is afraid that he won't be able to walk back to the city at this time." ”

"You ankle, you can't delay too long." Shu Chengye frowned slightly, turned his head and ordered: "Zheming, you go to Zhuangzi and invite an uncle surnamed Wang from Zhuangzi over, he will pick up the bones, and first straighten Cao Gongzi's ankle." ”

Shu Zheming hurriedly responded, Cao Wei was even more embarrassed, and the expression on his face was grateful and embarrassed: "It's really delaying Master Shu, if it weren't for my carelessness, I wouldn't have ......."

"It's just an accident," Shu Chengye said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, we came to Zhuangzi to relax, and we can't talk about any delay. ”

As he spoke, Shu Zheming invited Uncle Wang over.

"It's better not to move, but to rest for two days before you go." Breaking his ankle, Uncle Wang said slowly while applying medicine to Cao Wei's ankle: "Otherwise, the injury will worsen, and it is very likely that it will not get better." ”

Cao Wei was even more embarrassed, Shu Chengye thought for a while, and asked: "If Cao Gongzi has nothing important to do, why don't you rest in the Zhuangzi for a day or two, and then return to the city when the injury on his foot is healed?" ”

"How embarrassing is this...... Cao Wei hurriedly waved his hand, and Shu Chengye pressed his hand: "Cao Gongzi doesn't have to be polite to me, but he will live in the outer courtyard for a day or two, but we will return to Beijing tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't accompany Cao Gongzi." ”

Cao Wei hesitated a little, and then paused before whispering: "Lord Shu's great kindness, Cao will always remember it, thank you Lord Shu for taking him in, Cao will be rewarded with a ring." ”

"You take care of it, if you don't report it, we'll talk about it later." Shu Chengye said indifferently, according to what Uncle Wang said, he asked someone to get a hardwood board and carry Cao Wei back. Because Zhuangzi is now a girl's world, Cao Wei was temporarily placed in a small village outside Zhuangzi, most of the people in this village are tenants on Zhuangzi, and after listening to Shu Chengye's instructions, Cao Wei will take care of Haode.

During lunch, Shu Manyao listened to Shu Chengye talk about it: "I plan to take you to the village for a walk in the afternoon, there are also a lot of wild interests in the village, Cao Wei, you also know each other, don't avoid it too much when the time comes, don't be surprised to see it." ”

Chen Xuerong waved her hand indifferently: "It's not like I went to see him, there must be young people of similar age in the village, if everyone has to hide, they won't be exhausted to death?" It's not interesting to play this game.,When the time comes, if it's yujian.,Say hello.,If you don't see it.,Then forget it.,Uncle is really worried.。 ”

Shu Chengye only smiled and said: "It's just to say hello in advance, the young people in the village must avoid you when they see you, even if they don't dodge, they won't talk too much to you, Cao Wei is different, I just say a few words in vain, you just have a number in your hearts." ”

Shu Manyao lowered his head to eat, this Cao Wei is really a character, ruthless to others, and ruthless enough to himself. If it's just to see yourself, you shouldn't put in so much effort, right?

Or, what's on schedule today? But he can't come to Zhuangzi, what arrangements can he have?

I don't understand, Shu Manyao doesn't want to think about it first, the car has its own way in front of the mountain, if Cao Wei doesn't make a move, she will be depressed, she is still waiting for a tooth for a tooth, Cao Wei doesn't make a move, how can she use Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu instead?

After lunch, and resting for a while, they went to the village. In the peaceful and prosperous times, coupled with the fact that the Shu family's Zhuangzi was not harsh, life in the village was peaceful and peaceful.

This is not the time to be busy with farming, and the people in the village are also very leisurely, and it is not that they do nothing at all. Some are making frames and baskets, some are doing some needlework, or polishing some farm tools, and they can be sold for money at the grocery store.

Although the lives of ordinary people are less intrigued, they are not without the slightest trouble. At least, ordinary people can't afford to get seriously ill, and they can't afford comfortable and soft fabrics and all kinds of rouge gouache.

Those who are willing to be born in the homes of ordinary people have never suffered hardship.

"Master, this is some home-grown strawberries, try it." Someone watched for a while, went home and came out with a small basket containing red and bright strawberries, and said with a simple smile: "The mother-in-law at home has washed it, and I also gave it to the young masters and girls to taste." ”

Shu Chengye took the basket, pinched a strawberry to eat, and nodded after a while: "Yes, it's big and sweet, do you have a lot of this at home?" If there are more, I'll buy some and go back. ”

The old farmer's eyes widened, and he immediately nodded with joy: "Yes, yes, yes, but the lord doesn't need to buy it, it's just home-grown, it's not worth a few dollars, the lord is very lenient to the tenants on the Zhuangzi on weekdays, we miss the kindness of the lord, these are just a little bit of our family's heart, the lord doesn't dislike it." After speaking, he hurriedly glanced at the little girl next to him and motioned to go home to pick the herb poison.
