Chapter 548: Straw Hats (2)

Old man Su is also coming?

Following Xiao Dezi's gaze, Liu Yiyi also aimed his eyes at the cucumber vine that the three students were still taking care of, could it be that Empress Sun wanted Su Bingren, the great secretary of Nongqing, to also come to verify his teaching methods?

Liu Yiyi is no stranger to Su Bingren, an old man, and is even more aware of his achievements and attainments in agricultural work. Sometimes when he stays with Old Man Su, Liu Yiyi will feel that Old Su Tou is more like a farmer than an official.

Bending over to send Xiao Dezi, the chief attendant, away, Liu Yiyi stopped thinking about it, after all, it is useless to think about it now, and when the old man of Empress Changsun and Su Bingren arrive, everything will be clear.

Raising his hand and pulling the brim of his hat down, it was now mid-day and the sun was getting stronger, and it was the time for these straw hats to do their best. The three little ones who were squatting on the ground and were busy now apparently had discovered the beauty of the straw hats, and they were all laughing and moving proudly in the sun, no longer like before, afraid of the heat and slippery, and looking for all kinds of excuses to rest and cool off for a while.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" When approaching the garden, Xiao Dezi deliberately shouted loudly, and the idlers retreated, and then saw the eldest grandson queen and Su Bingren, one after the other, slowly walked into the garden, and there were no people waiting beside him.

"Master Su, please!" Empress Eldest Sun turned around and nodded slightly to Su Bingren, and it could be seen that Empress Eldest Sun also respected this old Su Tou.

"Weichen doesn't dare, the queen mother pleases first!" Su Bingren made a rare rule, respectfully returned the salute to the eldest grandson, and did not dare to exceed half a point. For this little girl of the eldest grandson's family, Su Bingren has never dared to look down on her, she is stable and generous, and she is reasonable, and she knows the general situation, and she is very admirable in the position of the queen.

"Hehe, Mr. Su is polite." Wen Sheng chuckled, and Empress Eldest Sun was no longer polite to Su Bingren, and took the lead in the front.

"Since the palace handed over this back garden to Mr. Yifan to take care of by himself in mid-May, he has rarely come back," walking in the path of the garden, Empress Changsun glanced at the flowers and plants in the garden, and said to Su Bingren in a warm voice: "I don't want to, after so long, the flowers and plants in this garden are even better than in the past." The stems and leaves of the flowers seem to be a little more aura. ”

"The queen mother is right," Su Bingren glanced down at the soil under the flowers and plants, and said softly: "The land is loose from time to time, and there is no shortage of water and gas. ”

At a glance, Su Bingren could see how moisture the texture of the flower soil was, but when he saw that there was fertilizer in the soil, Old Man Su couldn't help but remember the last time he met Liu Yifan, he was slightly stained with some night fragrance dirt. Come to think of it, the fertilizers applied in this garden are what Liu Yifan did last time.

"These are all the credit of Mr. Yifan," Xiao Dezi did not forget to say a good word for Liu Yiyi at this time, and said: "Some time ago, the villain still suspected that Mr. Yifan had made a mess of this back garden, full of filth, and a little depressed, who knew that those fertilizers would be so easy to use, only a few days of work, many flowers and plants that were already withered and yellow, and also spit out new leaves, which is magical." ”

If you don't go through farming, you don't know the weight of fertilizer. Su Bingren smiled and shook his head lightly, as soon as he heard Xiao Dezi's words, he knew that this chief of the Lizheng Palace, above farming, was an outsider.

"Mr. Liu and the three other highnesses are there, do you want the queen mother and Lord Su to go over and have a look?" After walking inside for a while, Xiao Dezi raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the garden, and pointed sharply to Empress Eldest Sun and Su Bingren. After working in the palace for so long, he can see where the thoughts of the masters are, and he also knows when and what to say.

Following Xiao Dezi's fingers, Empress Eldest Sun looked up at the place where Liu Yiyi and the children were, nodded lightly, and said, "Since you're here, it's okay to go over and have a look, but don't disturb Mr. Yifan's teaching." ”

"Huh? Is that...? Seeing that Liu Yifan and the three highnesses were wearing a strange pale yellow hat on their heads, a hint of different color flashed on Su Bingren's face, how could this Liu Yifan also wear yellow special parts, did he die? Also, the style of this hat is curious, like... For shade and light?

"Mr. Yifan and the three highnesses are wearing straw hats," Seeing the different color on Su Bingren's face, Xiao Dezi explained to Su Bingren and the eldest grandson queen on the side: "It's not a silk thick cloth, or it is made of wheat straw, similar to the hat that is worn on a rainy day, it should not be regarded as a shun, so the villain is also worn by them." ”

"Straw hats? Hats? Su Bingren's eyes lit up suddenly, and he remembered the parasols that some girls and young ladies brought when they went out on weekdays, this kind of straw hat has a wide brim, if it is made of wheat straw, the texture should be extremely light, and it is worn on the head to shade the sun and shade, isn't it wonderful? Especially when you go to the ground, if you have such a straw hat, why do you have to suffer from the poisonous sun?

It's a very practical thing.

Su Bingren's heart was a little excited, as long as everything involves farming, this old man will always be more enthusiastic, he is now eager to know, the production method and cost of this kind of hat, if possible, he hopes that all farmers in Datang can have such a straw hat or several straw hats.

"Looking at Boss Su's appearance, it seems that he is extremely concerned about these straw hats, is there anything strange about them?" Noticing the change in the expression on Su Bingren's face, Empress Eldest Sun asked softly with some puzzlement, she really couldn't figure out why Boss Su cared so much about a straw hat made of wheat straw.

"Back to the queen mother," Su Bingren bowed and replied as he walked forward: "There is nothing strange about those straw hats, the reason why Weichen values them is because they are extremely ordinary, and in terms of material, it should be quite cheap, and many people should be able to afford it." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? After listening to Su Bingren's explanation, Empress Changsun was a little confused, but between words, they also came to Liu Yiyi's location.

"Students meet the queen mother, Master Su!" Liu Yiyi bowed forward to salute, and as a sign of respect, he deliberately removed the straw hat from his head and hung it upside down behind his back.

"The Queen Mother! Sue-sama! The three little sisters and brothers also stopped what they were doing and came up to greet their queen mother and Su Bingren.

"Well, there's no need to be polite," Empress Changsun nodded lightly, waved her hand and said to the four of them: "You can continue your schoolwork, don't pay attention to this palace, this palace came over today, just take a casual look." ”

"Yes, Queen!" "Yes, Queen Mother!"

After answering, Liu Yiyi opened his mouth and instructed the three students to continue their work just now, while he himself stood beside Empress Changsun and Su Bingren without incident.

"The straw hat that Brother Liu is carrying, can you take a look at it through the old man?" Su Bingren couldn't bear it in the end, his two eyes were staring at the straw hat hanging on Liu Yiyi's back, and he was the first to speak, saying to Liu Yiyi. The closer the straw hat is, the happier Old Man Su looks, although the material of this straw hat is cheap, but its style is not rough at all, on the contrary, it looks extremely delicate and rare.

"Of course," Liu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly, he raised his hand to untie the rope around his neck, took off the straw hat, and handed it to Su Bingren, and said humbly: "This is made by the students themselves last night, and the work is a little rough, which makes Lord Su and the queen smile." ”

"Oh, I don't want Mr. Yifan to have such a craft!" Empress Eldest Sun also showed a hint of discoloration on her face, looking at the fine structure of this straw hat, there is also a silk thread attached to it, it should be a woman's work, but I didn't expect Liu Yifan to be a man, and he would also use needle and thread.

"Well, it's indeed made of straw, it's lightweight, and it's also very strong," he stretched out his hand to take the straw hat, Su Bingren put it in his hand and checked it, and then shook it lightly with both hands, seeing that the straw hat didn't have a trace of wanting to crack and break, he couldn't help but praise loudly.

"If the old man guesses well, Brother Liu weaves this kind of straw hat, but it is for shade and sun, and it is convenient for farming?" Flipping his hand to put the straw hat on his head, and looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, Su Bingren asked Liu Yiyi softly.

"As Master Su said," Liu Yiyi turned around and looked back at Xiaoya, Li Zhi and his son, the three children, and said softly: "In the past few days, the weather has been hot and the sun has been scorching, and the three highnesses have been working in this garden all day, and the skin on their faces is burned. ”

"It's no wonder," Su Bingren stroked his beard suddenly, nodded and said, "Could it be that the old man has never seen such a thing before." After a slight pause, Old Man Su leaned his face to Liu Yiyi again, and asked Liu Yiyi cheekily without a little embarrassment: "I don't know how to compile this straw hat, can Brother Liu easily reveal one or two?" ”
