"Today, I know that I have caused you a lot of trouble when I came to you, and I will ask you, have you been running for my son during this time?"

Xi Mu knew that Qi Qingchu was a bright and upright person, and he didn't care about playing with his mind, if Qi Qingchu admitted that he was running for Xi Zien during this time, then even if the final result was unsatisfactory, Xi Mu could know that he did his best.

"It should be." In the final analysis, if Qi Qingchu was completely selfless, it was unlikely.

"Good! With your words today, I am relieved, no matter what happens to my son in the end, my aunt will remember your affection. ”

"My aunt's words are serious, Zien is really confused this time, hurting others and herself, there is a loving mother like this, but she doesn't know how to cherish it, she should be angry and indisputable!"

"It's too late to say that! It is not in vain that I have come to you today to learn such a shocking fact.

So be it, so be it. Xi's mother got up weakly, the expression on her face was painful, she knew that this was the result, but she didn't give up and had to confirm her thoughts, but her son really didn't let her down, and today was really a humiliation.

"Auntie, I still have important things to do today, and after a while, I will go out, so I won't entertain you much." Qi Qingchu really couldn't stay up, his spirit was not good, and he didn't have enough rest.

Xi's mother could see that Qi Qingchu's complexion was not very good, I heard that he went out early and returned late, there was no rule, I am afraid that the days of the past few days are not very good. Xi's mother didn't want to be embarrassed, so she left with a very interesting goodbye.

Qi Qingchu asked her to send her out of the house, and then went back to the room to rest.

After a while, he had to go out, and he had already inquired where Princess Philippe was, and now he was going to see how to approach her.

There is no temperature on the bed, and sleeping on it feels inexplicably a little uncomfortable.

Qi Qingchu was still thinking about the moment before she closed her eyes, at this moment, what was Li Jicai doing?

Is there any, is there a moment when you think of him like him?

It wasn't winter, and he missed the sweet potatoes a little......

"Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans."

"Miss, you read these two sentences every day, I have listened to them, can you change them?" Bi Luo dragged her cheeks, looked at Li Jicai, who was reading carefully with an agricultural book next to her, and proposed a little boringly.

Bi Luo had a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine in front of her, and she agreed with Li Jicai that Li Jicai could eat a peanut for every page of the book, and drink a glass of wine for every ten pages of the book.

"You don't understand, I'm experiencing the taste of this book." Li Jicai shook his head and said.

In fact, she was just pretending to be clear, in fact, if Qi Qingchu was not there, she wouldn't understand what these books were talking about.

One moment it's classical Chinese, and the next moment it's some deep and difficult words, where can I understand this!

Isn't that hard for her? So Li Jicai is naturally lazy.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a sudden knock on the door outside the room, and Li Jicai answered without blinking: "Come in." ”

"Miss." It was Jasper who came in, and she had some melons and fruits in her hands.

"Is there a harvest so early?" Li Jicai raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling happily.

"Miss, these are not grown here, they were just taken from the house by the slave maid, and they were transported from far away, where do we have such an early here?"

"Oh! That's certainly not sweet. ”

"Why did the young lady say that?"

"Generally, early-maturing melons are not sweet when they are not at that time, and even if they are planted, they don't feel good."

Li Jicai remembered the out-of-season vegetables grown in advance in the greenhouses he ate in modern times, and they didn't taste at all.

Well, maybe these melons and fruits were shipped from the south, after all, the southern part of the country looks much warmer than here.

"Miss, just try it."

"Okay, okay, is there anything going on in this village today?"

"Miss Huiyu, there is nothing to do, there are only a few things that each family does, and those who have nothing to do are all chatting together, doing some weaving work at hand, Miss should also go with them, so as not to be bored at home."

"Me, if I thread a needle, it's a big eye, no, no, I definitely can't do that kind of delicate work, I can't do it, I don't do it."

"That young lady can't stay at home every day without going out, didn't she run happily some time ago? Slacking off so early? Biyu deliberately provoked him with words.

"Even if you say that, I won't pay attention to you, isn't it good to be at home?"

"Oh, it's a pity that there is no market here, otherwise it would be good to be able to visit the market every day, this farmhouse just doesn't have the fun, good food, and good drink in the capital." Bi Luo said with some resentment.

"I can't say that, at least the green mountains and green waters here, the people are simple, quiet, and very nurturing. What's wrong? Isolated from the world, there is no quarrel with the world, and it is good to live in peace. ”

"Does Miss really think so?" Bi Luo glanced at her and said with some suspicion.

"Sometimes I think so. People are always changing. Li Jicai said with a smile, but this smile fell in the eyes of Biyu and Biluo, and she felt a little bitter.

"Don't mention this, why don't we go out for a walk, the uncle's sister-in-law's house in the village hasn't finished yet."

"Miss, do you want to be friends with the whole village?"

"Why not? But what I've been worrying about lately is how I can make a career out of this little place so that I can soar and get out of here with the two of you. Although the hidden dragon is in the abyss, sooner or later there will be a time to fly out and ascend to the sky. ”

"......" Biyu and Biluo didn't know what to say to echo Li Jicai's ambitions, they listened to Li Jicai I don't know how many times they had heard these words, and they could only listen to these words, after all, what could they do in this small place?

If you want to fight, it is better to go into battle and kill the enemy quickly, and you can fight with your life to be able to fight something.

But apparently the young lady is a woman, and this cannot be the case.

Li Jicai took Biyu and Biluo out quickly, visiting the villagers all the way, talking and laughing all the way.

Sometimes this family visits, sometimes that door, Li Jicai found that every family was doing well, his face was full of smiles, and he was very happy.

It seems to be a good thing that people settle down in this kind of life.

When the three of them walked to the top of a ridge, they found a dilapidated grass house not far away.

You can still hear the cry of a child? Huh? Why didn't you seem to notice this before?

Li Jicai wanted to walk over to see what was going on, but Biyu grabbed Li Jicai, and she subconsciously felt bad.

Li Jicai patted Biyu's arm and motioned her to let go, this is not a big deal to take a look at it.

Still, Jasper disagreed.

But watching the excitement is a common problem for almost everyone.

When Li Jicai walked in, she found that this dilapidated grass house didn't even have a door, and it was dark inside, but she saw that there seemed to be a bed.

It was from inside that the sound of a child crying could be heard.

"This ...... What's going on? The sound of the three of them talking could have been heard by the people inside the house, and after a burst of rustling, a man came out of it.

It was a woman, her hair was disheveled, dirty, as if it was stained with mud, I don't know when it was washed, the clothes on her body were tattered, there were holes everywhere, there were not even shoes on her feet, and she wore straw sandals on her feet.

The appearance of ragged clothes makes people feel a little pitiful when they look at it.

"Dare to ask, why don't you live in the village, but in this field?" Li Jicai's hazy memory doesn't seem to have seen anyone in the village living in the fields.

"I don't feel at ease when I get down the seedlings, so I live here and take care of it." The other party's eyes were sad, and he even replied a little sluggishly, but he was still conscious.

"I see," Li Jicai smiled at her awkwardly.

The other party didn't seem to want to talk to her a lot, and he didn't even want to look at her.

Li Jicai felt a little embarrassed, and after greeting him for a while, he left.

It's just that looking at this woman's eyes, Li Jicai always felt a little inexplicably unable to let go, thinking of asking around when he went to the village to see what was going on.

Biyu and Biluo both wanted to stop talking, because they wanted to stop Li Jicai and not meddle in other people's affairs, but according to Li Jicai's temperament, it was definitely impossible.

After walking around the village again, Li Jicai found an old man who looked kind and talkative, chatted casually, and then turned the topic to the woman she saw in the field.

It turned out that the woman in the field was a widow. Everyone in the village knew that the widow had a six-year-old son, and the man had tuberculosis and could not carry it for a few years.

The Venerable Master's elders are also dead, which means that there are only two left.

There is also a village chief in the village, who wants to take care of the mother and son more, but the mother and son don't like to talk much on weekdays, and they don't communicate with the villagers.

This year, because it was really unsustainable, the village sent some money and grain, and the widow herself planted some seedlings in the field, so she went to live in the field.

Li Jicai asked: "Why are you not worried about melon seedlings?" No one else has anything like hers."

The person who accosted her glanced at Li Jicai in some surprise, and then said: "The widow is worried that she will be bullied, and now she doesn't dare to interact with the people in the village, even if anyone reaches out to help kindly, she thinks that someone wants to harm her, I see, this is not far from going crazy." ”

"Then this is a little too pitiful, this still needs to be helped. What is the widow's last name? ”

"The surname is Li, the husband's family. I don't know what my real name is, but it doesn't matter, women, they all have their husband's surname when they get married. ”

“…… If I get married, I won't. Li Jicai muttered quietly.

"Huh?" My wife didn't hear what Li Jicai said clearly, so she said with a question.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you, uncle." Looking at this gray-bearded, energetic, and articulate old man, Li Jicai couldn't help but feel a little envious, if she could have the spirit of this old man when she was old, it would be very good.

The old man and the young man chatted very speculatively from beginning to end, and sat next to the old man on a small wooden stool, and chatted all afternoon.

Jasper and Bilora can't pull it away.

It wasn't until the evening that the old man was going back to the house to eat, and Li Jicai reluctantly got up from the stool.

Out of politeness, the old man invited Li Jicai into the house to eat together, and then had two drinks.

Li Jicai just wanted to agree, but was forcibly pulled away by Biyu and Biluo.

Until he went back, Li Jicai's mind was remembering this matter, remembering the widow's matter, and remembering the old man who was chatting very speculatively.

I heard what the old man meant, he had no children under his knees, and he had two or three acres of land under his hands, which were deserted there, because there was no one to cultivate them.

The law of Chu has always been stricter on land, and no one is allowed to increase the number of his fields in any name, so even if it is deserted there, no one cultivates it, and can only watch him, some will plant some melons and fruits, some will plant some trees, and the rest will be useless.

It's a pity if it's disrespectful, isn't it?

In the past, everyone had little enthusiasm to cultivate a piece of land together, and only later did they have a package of production to the households.

Now, there is no one to contract, and those who have spare strength can't use their strength, you can see that those strong men sit at home every day and do nothing, and they can't do what women do.

Somehow, Li Jicai suddenly had a bold idea, but this idea flashed in her heart, and she was not sure that it could be done.

If it can be done, then it is better to say, if it can't be done, it will be laughed at, and it may even cost your life.

After all, this is a problem that challenges the law of the Chu State, which is tantamount to riding on the emperor's head and, it must be a small life that you don't want, but no matter what, you have to take into account the actual situation.

If this continues, the amount of cultivation in the fields will not be yielded, and the taxes will be so heavy every year, how can this family survive?

It is said that governing the country must be wise, if you can't listen to the good words of others, then it is no different from a faint king.

Li Jicai thought about it, if he could make some achievements first, and then come around, he might be able to get unexpected results.

She couldn't help but feel a little eager to give it a try.
