Chapter 21: Doubts
The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.
In Tang Xiu's small courtyard, in the bedroom, a delicate little beauty sat down, and a delicate little girl stood pretty, all staring at Tang Xiu with a pair of beautiful big eyes.
The hibiscus tent is warm, and the beauties stand together.
At this time, Tang Xiu was very angry and engaged in fighting with the food on the table, ignoring the two little beauties sitting in front of him, and he didn't even look up.
"Mrs. Tai said that she was very happy to move back into the back house."
Pei Cai'er quietly watched Tang Xiu gobbling up on the table, and saw that Tang Xiu didn't mean to take the initiative to speak, so she began to take the initiative to find a topic.
"Hmm."
"You've made a good meal, but it would be nice if you had a little more meat."
Tang Xiu hummed lightly to indicate that he knew, and then seemed to feel that this was not polite, so he casually praised it and made some suggestions by the way. From beginning to end, Tang Xiu's movements in his hands did not pause in the slightest, the chopsticks kept dancing on the table, his mouth was full of rice, and his words seemed a little slurred.
Pei Cai'er's face remained unchanged, and she continued: "Mrs. Tai likes the rice porridge boiled out tonight very much, and even drank three bowls, and the whole plate of green vegetables was also eaten. Since I entered the house, it has been the first time in the past half a month that Mrs. Tai has eaten so many things. ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiu straightened up, the chopsticks in his hand stopped, and the remaining rice in his mouth was swallowed by him, and he glanced up at Pei Cai'er, his brows furrowed slightly: "Why is it gruel and greens again?" Can't the old lady eat something else? Although the house is a little embarrassed now, it won't be like you can't even buy a little shredded meat, right? ”
"What do you mean by that? Is it to blame that our young lady abused Mrs. Tai? ”
Before Pei Cai'er could answer, the little girl Wan'er couldn't help but burst out, it's just a matter of kindly sending you food, you dare to slander my young lady like this, it's too much!
Wan'er rolled up her sleeves and wrists, waving a pair of white and tender little fists, and there was a possibility of pounced and fought with Tang Xiu at any time. However, Tang Xiu didn't even look at her, just looked at Pei Cai'er quietly, waiting for her explanation.
"Wan'er!" Pei Cai'er stopped Wan'er with a voice, and then looked at Tang Xiu lightly and explained with a chuckle: "I also thought about making some dry rice and meat for Mrs. Tai, but Mrs. Tai is over seven Xun, and her appetite is not good, and there is no longer one tooth left, and now there are not many better choices except for gruel and some easy-to-chew green vegetables, tofu and egg food." ”
"Also, if the husband really wants to be filial in front of Mrs. Tai, you might as well go to Mrs. Tai's room to sit and chat more with Mrs. Tai when you have nothing to do, and learn about Mrs. Tai's physical condition, otherwise if you say such words in front of outsiders, it will only make outsiders laugh."
Pei Cai'er's tone was very gentle, but the words she said were hidden in the needle, and she was not too small to sarcastically mock Tang Xiu.
"Well, that's right." Tang Xiu's face turned pale, remembering that when he went to the old lady's room in the morning, the old lady's mouth was a little wrinkled because of her lack of teeth, and she couldn't help but laugh dryly, and said, "It's that I'm a little abrupt, don't be surprised, don't be surprised." ”
I didn't expect Tang Xiu to admit his mistake and apologize so quickly, Pei Cai'er glanced up at Tang Xiu with some surprise, nodded lightly, and said lightly: "It's all a family, husband doesn't have to be like this." ”
"Uh-huh, a family, a family doesn't speak two words."
Tang Xiu nodded with a smile, then lowered his head again and continued to fight with the rice in the bowl.
"The five-guan money concubine sent by Steward Tang has been received, and the agreed concubine between the husband and Xiangmanlou has also been known." didn't care about Tang Xiu's insincere words, Pei Cai'er continued: "The concubine has asked Steward Tang to find someone to expand the vegetable garden in the backyard outward, fortunately, the yard in our house is not small, and it can open up a range of about one acre in size, and if all the vegetables are planted, it should be enough." ”
Tang Xiu's eyes suddenly opened, and he glanced up at Pei Cai'er a little unexpectedly, he didn't expect that the problem he was still thinking about just now, this little girl would solve it for him in advance, is this considered a good heart?
"The only problem now is," Pei Cai'er stared at Tang Xiu and said, "The greens that have just been planted will take at least twenty days to grow and be picked, and those greens in the original vegetable garden are not enough to support more than twenty days, I don't know how the husband wants to solve the supply of twenty catties a day?" ”
"Huh this?" Tang Xiu waved his chopsticks and slashed in the bowl a few times, and after eating all the rice at the bottom of the bowl, he picked up the silk that had already been placed on the table and wiped the vegetable juice rice stains on his mouth, and said softly with concern: "It's not a problem at all." ”
The pot poured himself a cup of tea, and Tang Xiu drank it all in one gulp, "It may really take twenty days or even a month for this vegetable to grow in other houses, but in our Tang Mansion, ten days is enough, and we can't delay the business of Xiangmanlou, we just need to sit at home every day and wait to collect the money." ”
The space spring water also has the effect of ripening crops, soak the seeds in the spring water first, and then the only thing Tang Xiu has to do is to properly adjust the proportion of spring water injected into the well water when irrigating the vegetable garden.
As for the first few days, there are the original greens in the vegetable garden as a guise, and some greens that are already ripe in the space, which is enough to cope.
Pei Cai'er's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, "The husband's reliance is in the well in the mansion?" Could it be that the well water still has such a miraculous effect? ”
"Huh? Why do you ask that? ”
This time, it was Tang Xiu's turn to be unexpectedly surprised, and a trace of vigilance also appeared in his heart.
In order to improve the physical condition of these henchmen and relatives in the mansion, Tang Xiu did inject some spring water into the water tank and the well at noon, Tang Ziyou had not done this kind of thing in his previous life, but when other people drank this water, they had nothing but feel a little sweet, how could Pei Cai'er detect the abnormality of the well water so quickly?
"Because all the dishes and rice cooked with the well water in the house are particularly sweet, and these changes all started after the husband entered the stove once."
Pei Cai'er's gaze stayed on Tang Xiu's face all the time, trying to see some clues from the change in Tang Xiu's gaze, but she was soon disappointed, except for the initial surprise, she didn't notice anything wrong from Tang Xiu's face.
Calm and unwavering, indifferent and casual.
"Also," Pei Cai'er decided to increase the intensity of stimulation, and said softly: "The concubine and Wan'er can both feel that the well water seems to contain a trace of vitality medicine similar to the unique vitality of the century-old ginseng Ganoderma lucidum and other great tonic drugs, although it is not much, but it is better than purity, and these things cannot appear in the well water in the mansion for no reason, husband, what do you say?" ”
Tang Xiu's vigilance in his heart was even worse, he had never encountered such a situation before, could it really be that people could detect the aura in the water just by feeling their taste?
That seems unlikely, right? At that time, Tang Ziyou had specially invited people to identify the spring water in a number of world-renowned scientific research institutions, except for the special water quality, rich in all kinds of minerals that are beneficial to the human body, there is no other special place.
Reiki, something that even the most advanced scientific research institutions in later generations could not detect, how could these ancients, who didn't even know what science was, perceive it?
Tang Xiu raised his head again and glanced at Pei Cai'er suspiciously, this little girl can't be blinding me, right?
