said that she wore men's clothes, but Banniang was a female guest in the end, and at this time, it would definitely be impossible to go back to the city at night. Li Yong used to be a rich and noble son who didn't know anything, and after a few years of experience, although he still looked unreliable, he was already very sophisticated in terms of human feelings.

While serving tea according to the row, people went to the tenant's house to find the clever little lady to come over and help serve Banniang.

Although this courtyard is a rural place, it was also a house of the Xiangkun family in the past, and there were also two small cross-courtyards on the east and west sides. Li Yong sent someone to clean up the East Cross Courtyard, thinking that no one had lived in it for a long time, and everything in it was not complete, so he gave the main courtyard to Banniang, and he planned to live in the East Cross Courtyard at night.

Banniang was not polite to him, and went with him.

Li Yong returned to the hall after giving the order, and then asked why Banniang rushed to him at this time.

Banniang smiled: "It's just that I'm idle, I've been bored at home for a few days, and I just want to come out and relax." At this time, it is dusk, when the sun sets, the scenery along the way is excellent, or Brother Li's blessing, can look at the beautiful scenery every day, in ancient times, Tao Yuanming smiled and enjoyed the leisure and elegance of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan', I think it is nothing more than that, Brother Li, you really enjoy it. ”

Li Yong smiled bitterly and said, "If the little eighth sister really feels enjoyable, why don't you do this drudgery?" Pushed back to me? Why don't we exchange the two? ”

He likes to be lively, this cold and bitter country life, occasionally a day or two is still interesting, after a long time, where will he not feel bored? Besides, he is not playing here, although the greenhouse is simple, there is no precedent in the past, it is all drawings drawn by Lu Seventeen, and he has to soak in the construction site every day to be a supervisor. Now that the greenhouse has been built, the agricultural affairs must be strictly implemented in accordance with Lu XVII's requirements. Lu Qiqi couldn't come forward in person for this matter, even if he came, he came to play as his friend, and when he found a problem, he just gave him secret guidance.

He used to be a noble son, not to mention growing vegetables out of season, probably he didn't even know the difference between wheat and rice, but now he has to take care of such an important matter, how can he not be embarrassed?

Seeing his exaggerated painful expression, Banniang smiled even more happily, and only said: "I have the heart to exchange with Brother Li, so that Brother Li can have fun in the city, and I can go to the shop every day in my spare time, and I can't say how many punches I can get beaten by Sister Cang'er." It's just that my business Brother Li always knows, just drawing paper, is not a light job, it looks like it doesn't need to contribute, but it's annoying, a mistake, a whole painstaking drawing of half of the pattern, it has to be invalidated and re-painted, how can I make Brother Li suffer from this, I have to come by myself. Brother Li, bear with it for one more year, and next year, your stewards will have to use it, won't you feel comfortable then? But my beach matter, not to mention a year, is ten years, and I have to do it myself. If you talk about suffering, my little sister is really bitter. ”

Li Yong just complained jokingly, but she was so troubled that she hurriedly told her to stop: "Yes, I didn't say what I just said." What do Eighth Sisters want to eat at night? We don't have anything else here, there are a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, and there are enough fresh fish, and as for the fruit, it is autumn time, you just have to eat as much as you want, but if you don't come, I will send some back to the city in the next two days, and I will also send some to your family when the time comes, so that my aunt and sister-in-law and all the brothers can also try it. ”

"It doesn't matter what you eat," Banniang put down the teacup with a smile, "This is the most beautiful time of the day, why don't you ride a horse with me and go around the grange?" ”

Li Yong is in this countryside, and he goes back to the city in five or six days to see the situation of several oil shops in the city, and meets Lu Seventeen.

The two took Xu Thirteen with them, and left Xiaofu and the little lady borrowed by the tenant family to clean up the room where they would sleep at night, and the three of them went to the grange.

The fields are staggered, the weeds are like gold, the fields have only been planted for a short time after the winter wheat, only some shallow green shoots have been exposed, and they have not yet been able to cover the swarthy land, but in spite of this, riding on the tall horse, leisurely breathing the fresh air of the fields, blowing the lukewarm breeze of autumn, can still make people's hearts feel as if they have flown on nine days.

After a while, from time to time the tenants on the farm came to say hello, Banniang asked Li Yong where the greenhouse was built, the greenhouse in the previous life, either a glass sun room, or a plastic film shed, there is no plastic film, and the glass can only rely on the high cost of overseas imports of time and space, Banniang is also very curious, Lu 17 technical director of this greenhouse, what is it like.

"Brother Li, where are those greenhouses built? Take me to see and see, too? ”

At the mention of this, Li Yong smiled proudly, pointed to the rows of neat but low earthen houses not far away and smiled: "Isn't that over there?" Let's go, I'll take you there. ”

If Li Yong hadn't said that it was the so-called greenhouse, Banniang would have thought it was a temporary residence for the homeless tenant farmers in the farm.

Several people arrived, and Li Yongbi led her into the greenhouse through the low door.

Banniang looked confused

Is it indoor growing? So how to solve the sunshine?

Seeing that she was confused and showed an unknown expression, Li Yong finally found some confidence, and laughed: "Little Eighth Sister doesn't understand, right?" Let my brother answer your questions. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the roof and said with a smile: "Did you find any mysteries?" ”

Because the sun has not yet set, and every two to three meters, there is a window that is only slightly higher than the ground, so it is not dark inside. Banniang looked up, only to find that it was not a normal roof, but a thick reed mat that could be moved.

At night, it can be smoked and warmed, and opened during the day so that the sun can shine directly, which can not only complete the photosynthesis required by the plants, but also not be frostbitten by the low temperature. Although it is very simple, it does ensure that a certain temperature is suitable for the growth of plants.

It's just, can this really be done? Banniang was very skeptical.

In the past, when he was in Nanfeng, Lu Qiqi also took care of the greenhouse, but there was some glass for the sound separation, and Banniang felt very simple at that time, but compared with here, I don't know how much more advanced than such a greenhouse.

Seeing Banniang's suspicions, Li Yong sighed: "Now it can only be like this, what is planted this year is also relatively cold-resistant, and next year, another batch will be built to come better, after all, you can't eat it to become fat, right?" Take your time. ”

Banniang thought about it. Lu Qiqi is unwilling to show his true level all at once, and he may not have other considerations.

After a walk, there is nothing to see, out of the greenhouse, Banniang found that the temperature difference between the inside and outside is much larger than she imagined.

After wandering around, the sky was getting dark, and he planned to go back, Xu Shisan was in front, and the two were left behind, and Banniang said: "Today, King Yijun sent a little steward to my house and explained me some things." ”

This is the purpose of Banniang's coming to the Grange, right?

Speaking of business, Li Yong also put on a grinning expression, and said in a low voice: "Is it for the sake of the workshop and shop ahead?" ”

"On the one hand, it is for that, to reassure me that in a short time, the workshop and shop are safe, and there will probably be no more trouble before. The other thing has to do with your farm. ”

"But what's wrong?"

Banniang looked back at the so-called greenhouse behind her that looked like a poor man's hole from afar, but she relaxed: "Brother Li don't worry, nothing happened, but I heard that the king of Minjun met Dingnanhou in the early dynasty, and I heard that this farm is the industry of Dingnanhou, and recently engaged in off-season planting, the old lady of Minjun Wangfu has a big birthday in November, and I want to discuss Nanhou's personal feelings and get some fruits and vegetables back." However, King Yijun also said that if there is a rare one, it must be left to him, and he can send it to the Minjun Wangfu to ask for a favor. Actually......"

"Actually, what?"

"In fact, such rows of tattered so-called greenhouses, even if King Minjun came to see it in person, it's nothing, what else does Brother Li have to worry about? Besides, King Minjun himself said that this is the property of Dingnan Houfu, even if there is really something, isn't there still Dingnan Houfu to help support it? The sky is falling, and there is a tall top, what are we afraid of? ”

No wonder the boss let himself make this greenhouse so shabby, he originally felt that he had dealt with so many broken houses all day long, and he really fell into his reputation as a Nanfeng tyrant, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it wise?

Li Yong laughed: "Yes, yes, you and I are not tall." ”

Banniang also understood, and also pursed her lips and smiled, and gave him a reassuring pill: "King Yijun also said, if there is something in our shop in the future, Dingnan Houfu will help solve it, let's just focus on making money." ”

In the evening, I ate some farmhouse food, but it was also refreshing, and the next morning, Banniang was not in a hurry to go back to the city, and she was in this grange for half a day, and she had lunch before returning to the city.

Li Yong said that he had not returned for a few days, and that he would go back to the city with her. Entering the city, Banniang originally wanted to go home, leaving this day, thinking about her mother very much, but was pulled alive by Li Yong to go to a woodware shop, but unfortunately Cang'er was not there because of the incident, Li Yong hung his head, so he had to go to Lu Seventeen, Banniang saw him like that, and it was funny and sympathetic, so he said: "It's easy for me to always go out now, tomorrow happens to be the day of rest in the yamen, if Brother Seventeen is fine, you might as well find him to come to our house as a guest, my brothers are also very boring at home." It just so happens that I have something to ask Cang'er to help at home. ”

As soon as Li Yong heard that Cang'er would not go to the shop tomorrow, his eyes were bright, he responded with a smile, and before leaving, he also called Banniang: "The favor of the eighth sister, the eldest brother has remembered it in his heart, and the eighth sister will marry in the future, no matter who she marries, I will definitely give you a good dowry." ”

Banniang and Xu Shisan went all the way home, but they found that the street was a little different from the past, and the people who were originally relaxed and comfortable were not big now, and they all looked a little worried on their faces, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts.

When I got home, I went to see Zhu first, saw that she was all right, said a few words, and went back to change her clothes, and just happened to meet the little maid who went to the east courtyard to send a clean change of clothes to her brothers, holding the folded clothes in her hand, and Banniang took it: "I just happened to go to the east courtyard, you just have to be busy, I will send this clothes." ”

Banniang has always been kind at home, the maids have been kind to her, not afraid of her at all, just when it was time to be busy with dinner, everyone also had some things, so they handed over the clothes to Banniang's hands.

Entering the courtyard, I faintly heard the brothers talking in the study in the west of the main house, the maid under the corridor saw her coming, stepped forward and saluted, Banniang handed over the clothes to the little maid to collect, and went to the main house, before entering the door, I heard Zijian's clear and cold voice: "The court has really decided to start a war with Northern Liao?" That's great. ”

"What has been agreed in the court in the morning has spread all over the streets today, is there any fake? However, it is impossible for Lord Di to lead the Northern Expedition with the Privy Council, and it has not yet been decided who will supervise the army and lead the troops. However, since it has been decided to fight, it is certainly impossible to delay the selection for too long. It's a pity that we are all literati, and we don't have a reputation, otherwise, we ......"

This is Zijing's voice.

Still Zifu was more steady, listened to Zijing and Zijian's words, and only whispered: "What are we?" You two, just study and study honestly, these things, it's not our turn to worry about these things. I really want to serve the country, there is a way, a few brothers in our family, which one has the talent to lead the army, don't go to the battlefield, just look at your thin body, but the material for war? ”

Banniang didn't want to listen to it anymore, and was shocked by the news.

Now that the war reports in the north are frequent, she has also heard about them, but she didn't expect the court to react so quickly.

She still remembered what Di Yong said when she met Di Yong that day.

Wasn't he just waiting for this opportunity? If the court really intends to use troops, then he will definitely find a way to follow the army. The sword is not long-eyed, and when he goes to the battlefield, there is a possibility of death and injury, although he was born in the general's door, and he has also been on the battlefield with Lord Di in the past, but by Lord Di's side, how can it be the same when he goes with himself?

Banniang couldn't help but worry. Standing in the doorway, pondering.

Zijing was still sharp-eyed and found her: "Eighth sister, are you back?" ”

Banniang nodded, and said with a reluctant smile: "I just came back, and I just happened to meet the little maid who brought you clothes, so I took the errand and stopped by to see my brothers." ”

Several people let her into the house. didn't discuss the topic just now, but Banniang couldn't help but say: "Brothers, if the two countries really go to war, who will the court send to lead the army?" ”

Several people glanced at each other.

The matter of the little eighth sister and the second son of the Nadi family, they are the elder brothers because of the reason why Banniang and Lu Seventeen broke off the marriage contract, they are all known. Seeing that Banniang asked like this, Shiro came back to his senses and hurriedly comforted: "Eighth sister doesn't have to worry about ......"

As soon as the words came out, I felt that I had said the wrong thing.

National events, Baniang has nothing to worry about. If it is because of the Di family, Di Erlang is now the county master of the Funing Palace, which was personally given by the emperor, and it has nothing to do with Banniang being a copper.

I was stunned for a while, and it was hard to speak again.

Zijing has always been fast-talking, although he has become a parent, he is almost a baby's father, but he has not seen much stability in temperament. There are two stable brothers above, not to mention that the country has changed, his nature is difficult to move, and he has a stable wife everywhere, so his life is easy. Regardless of Shiro's concerns, he only smiled at Banniang and said, "Eighth sister is worried that Di Jia Erlang will be sent out, right?" In fact, if you want me to see it, this is really possible, but it's not a bad thing, a manly man, he should have made a contribution. Di Erlang will be the tiger of the gate, if he can really go to the battlefield this time, with a father like Master Di, why can't he build a career? When the time comes, it may not be possible to say that Long Yan Dayue will be exempted from his marriage to the county lord of Naqinghe. ”

This is comforting enough.

Several brothers couldn't help but glance at this kid, but unfortunately Zijing was unconscious, and was about to continue talking, when Zijian took the teacup and handed it to his mouth: "Drink tea." ”

As he spoke, he gave Zijing a look, and glanced at Banniang, who was in a daze there.

Zijing will come to his senses, but isn't he comforting his eighth sister?

Zifu hurriedly smiled: "Zijing, you are talking nonsense again, what are you doing about the Di family Erlang, do you want to worry about our eighth sister?" Then he said, "But Eighth Sister, what your Brother Zijing said is also right, you ...... Do not worry. If the Heavenly Family can really let Di Erlang follow the army, no matter what, it will be a good thing for him. ”

The Di family is a family of meritorious deeds, if it is peaceful today, it is difficult for military generals to do anything, and it is not easy to encounter a big battle, is it a good opportunity for the Di family to show their skills again?

The clear-eyed people in the court, who can't see Di Xiang's difficulties in the court now, have meritorious, for Di Xiang, it is naturally a good thing.

Zijing couldn't help but slander, I said that I don't have to worry about Di Erlang, it's nonsense, big brother, you say it's not?

Unfortunately, there was no one in the house who paid attention to his grievances.

Banniang knew that what they said was right, and she also knew that Ah Yong was waiting for such an opportunity.

But she is a woman, and it is normal to worry about the safety of her sweetheart.

Seeing that his brothers were looking at him worriedly, he could only cheer up and smile: "What do my brothers do when they watch me, Di Erlang ...... What does it have to do with me? ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked out of the house.

But he didn't have the heart to do anything more, so he went back to his courtyard in despair.

Thinking in his heart, since Di Yong had made up his mind to go with the army, he would naturally get his wish. And he has taken care of his body during this time, obviously Chai Nineteen will also support him, so he must go to fight.

No one knows when this war will end.

What if he doesn't come back......

Thinking of this, Banniang hurriedly snorted a few times.

No, if he did, he would have returned triumphantly.

But the possibility of not coming back has been lingering in my mind for a long time.

No, she'd have to see him anyway.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Fu entered the house with a sigh and said to Banniang: "Miss Eight, Xu Thirteen asked the slave maid in front of me, do you need to go to the workshop tomorrow, if you go, do you go by carriage or on horseback?" If he was riding a horse, he wanted someone to clean up the carriage early in the morning, but the carriage had not been cleaned for several days, and it was really dirty. ”

Xu Thirteen? A thought faintly floated in Banniang's heart.
