Chapter 17: The Joy of the Harvest
Looking down, Xiantu spotted what they called the red-dotted bugs. He scratched his head and said frantically: "My uncle, second master, this is a pest, this is a seven-star ladybug, it specializes in eating pests, you don't want to kill innocents anymore." β
In fact, after saying this, Xiantu was surprised to find something. It stands to reason that the seven-star ladybug eats aphids, but there is not a single aphid on the cotton, and they all fly to the cotton in swarms to do something, and it seems that this question will have to be studied carefully when we go back to the 21st century.
"This thing eats bugs?" Xiantu was still thinking about it, and was suddenly asked coldly by Qinghong.
"Of course, this is a seven-star ladybug, you don't believe you can count the black dots on its body, exactly seven black dots."
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, it's really seven black dots, you are the first picture", Qingxian praised the first picture.
Xiantu thought to himself, you don't understand this bit of common sense, and it's a shame that you are an expert in farming. This is in the 21st century, and three-year-old children know that the seven-star ladybug is specialized in eating aphids, and it has seven black spots on its back.
Think about it, after all, people are Tang Dynasty people thousands of years ago, and our little modern knowledge is not accumulated by our ancestors bit by bit, maybe the Xue family where he is now is still the ancestor of his own ancestor, he dares to laugh at his ancestors, it is purely rebellious.
Autumn is coming, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and in the blue sky, geese fly to the south in flocks, sometimes in the shape of "one", sometimes in the shape of "people". Looking at the lonely and hopeful autumn, Xiantu remembered Liu Yuxi's autumn words: "Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely, and I say that autumn is better than spring." As soon as the cranes line the clouds in the clear sky, it will lead poetry to the blue sky. β
This situation and this scene can't help but make Xiantu read it out loud. It felt really happy, and he was still self-absorbed, so Qing Hong took a picture of it fiercely. "Great poet, I'm reciting poetry again, you said that you haven't read a book for a few days, you don't even know the words, and you are stunned to read out poems that make people understand when you hear them, and you are sad when you understand them. Could it be that this poem is also recorded in the "Wu Mu Testament"? β
Seeing Qinghong with a questioning face, Xiantu secretly laughed in his heart. I thought, Wu Mu, you are a bird's head, this poem is the masterpiece of the poet Liu Yuxi of this dynasty, but the great poet surnamed Liu is estimated to be born in a few decades, and now his grandfather is estimated to be a child.
Seeing that Xiantu was silent, his face flushed red, Qinghong looked at Xiantu blankly and asked incomprehensibly: "Xiantu, you haven't answered me when I asked you, what are you thinking?" β
Ao, yes, yes, the poem in the "Wu Mu Testament" I asked just now has not been explained to others, and the first Tu said with a whim: "This is not the content of "Wu Mu's Testament", this is the masterpiece of our Tang Dynasty great poet Liu Yuxi. β
"Liu Yuxi? I haven't heard of this person, I only know that we have a capable person in Datang, both civil and military, and the general Li Jing is also. β
Hearing Qinghong say this, Xiantu remembered that there was such a master in Datang, and the matter between Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl was well known. By the way, wasn't his cousin Xue Rengui taught by Li Jing? Xiantu remembers that the TV series is played like this, and I don't know if there is any historical basis.
"What are you doing?" Qingxian didn't know when he appeared beside them, what do you say this Li family brothers are doing, they are haunted all day long, and they are invisible. Qinghong slapped him just now, Xiantu's careful liver is still beating non-stop, Qingxian said so violently again, Xiantu felt that his heart was about to jump out.
glanced at the Li family brothers with his residual eyes, and said unhappily: "Can you not be so elusive, you didn't scare me to death just now." β
"Haha, the courage to see Xiantu is getting smaller and smaller, I remember that he often scared us so much the year before last, and said that we were cowardly, but now he himself has become a rat gall." Qingxian laughed mischievously.
Oh, when I heard them say this, Xiantu didn't say anything, was the original Xiantu so bold? Xiantu stood there stupidly thinking.
"Let's go, it's time to pick flowers, this year's harvest is a great harvest." Father Xue shouted at the three of them. Hearing the bumper harvest, Xiantu suddenly felt that there was hope and hope in life, and the day of great wealth and prosperity was getting closer and closer. I thought: "My landlord dream, my rich heart, come all"!
"Ou Ye, Ou Ye ......" sang the song of the Phoenix Legend, stepped on small and compact steps, and followed Father Xue to his manor. Oh, it's too early to say the manor, specifically in the depression, ashamed, ashamed!
"Wow, oh my god! O Lord! You care for me too much, how can this cotton bloom bigger than the other?" Xiantu shouted loudly with joy.
The breeze swayed, and the cotton shook its branches, as if whispering, "Come, pick me and go home." "Even, Xiantu's imagination is too rich, and cotton doesn't necessarily think so, let alone say so.
In a few moments, they were filling the baskets they were carrying. Touching the soft cotton, it feels so comfortable and comfortable. His quilt, his cotton clothes, come in winter, Xiantu is not afraid of you. Look up at the sky, it's still so blue, so clean.
The silkworm babies are starting to burrow into the cocoons, are they preparing for the winter? In fact, otherwise, the next time people come out, they will grow wings, and the responsibility of breeding offspring is urgent, and next year, there will be more silkworms in the Xue family.
I don't know how to spin cotton, but my sister is smart, and after listening to Xiantu probably say some processes, I immediately got up without a teacher. This is much easier to do, with my sister as the pillar, it will be easier to turn over the plan.
After the matter was done, they found Tailor Feng from Zhangcun, and heard that this person was one of the best plum cuts in Suzhou back then. It's just that what happened later, why she ended up in the place of their neighboring village, Xiantu doesn't know.
This Feng tailor is really worthy of her reputation, no ruler or measurement, just tell sΓΉ the style she made, she will understand the first plan to take the clothes seven days later. As for the cost, this person is very talkative, just say that he can leave a set for himself after he is done.
In the past seven days, Xiantu has been fantasizing about getting rich overnight, fantasizing about the glory and wealth in the future, and fantasizing about the future of fine clothes and food. The luggage is ready, Xiantu and the Li brothers are about to set off one day and go straight to Chang'an!
Mother Xue was quite superstitious and invited the witch from the village. She wanted to consecrate the first to them, and the people of the village had to go through the witch's guidance when they went far away. Although Xiantu is an atheist in the 21st century, everyone believes in that witch, so he will follow the local customs!
The witch muttered and didn't know what to say, and burned incense and kowtowed for most of the day, and when she left, she warned them: "This immortal has reported to Xingjun, and Xingjun instructed that it will be an auspicious day to leave in three days." These three days of bathing and changing clothes, not eating grains, not wearing five clothes, one proves sincerity, two proves its spirit, and three proves heaven and earth! β
Damn, I want to scold people first. Where did the stupid X witch invite them, they actually starved them for three days, and let them not wear clothes, this late autumn dew is heavy, and they don't freeze to death.
Xiantu stood up and just wanted to say something, but his father seemed to know his thoughts, so he pressed him down and said: "Don't be rude to the great immortals, go out of such a far door, you must sincerely bow to God."
