Chapter 53: The Countryside
When the old lady and her party arrived at Zhuangzi, the head of the village was already waiting outside the door.
This village is just a three-hall courtyard, but it is already very magnificent in this countryside. The front and back yards are quite large, and there are a lot of seasonal fruits and vegetables planted in the corners.
As soon as Gu Yao and Gu Wan got out of the carriage, they looked at the surrounding scenery with great curiosity. Gu Fu is the same, several people have never seen this rural scenery, naturally it is very novel.
Zi Su helped Gu Jin down from the carriage, and then carefully put a cloak on her.
Although the sun is out, the wind in this early spring is still quite cool.
Zhuangtou is a man in his forties and fifties, known as Old Man Wu, and he is also the crop handle on the village.
Beside Old Man Wu stood a woman of his own age, dressed in a dark cloth robe. The woman was Old Man Wu's daughter-in-law, and she was holding three children of four or five years old.
Old Man Wu's family hurriedly knelt down, "I've seen the owner." ”
The old lady glanced at the courtyard and said with a smile: "When you go out, you don't need to be polite, just get up." ”
"Madame ordered it earlier, and the old slave has prepared a room for the old lady." Old man Wu's daughter-in-law is an honest woman, "It's hard to get tired, the old lady might as well rest first." ”
The old lady is no more young than when she was young, and today she has taken the carriage again, and she is long gone. After listening to the words of the old man Wu's daughter-in-law, he nodded and said, "It's okay, lead the way." ”
Old man Wu and his wife cleaned up this small courtyard very cleanly, and there was no poultry in the courtyard, nor did it have the unique smell of a farmer.
The courtyard is surrounded by a fence with green vines. There are a few small flowers growing on the vines, which are also a little elegant.
Although the courtyard looks small, it is more than enough to arrange for the old lady and her party to live.
The old lady was tired, but Gu Yao and the others were very energetic. Except for Gu Fu and An Yishu, Gu Yao pulled Gu Jin and ran out.
finally escaped from the clutches of the Li family, and Gu Yao's whole person was like a second dog who had escaped the rope. That style is really wild.
Old man Wu was afraid that something would happen to these golden and noble eldest ladies, so he let his eldest granddaughter Xiaohua follow all the way.
Xiaohua looks like she is seven or eight years old, with two small chirps on her head. Although it is not as cute as Yuxue, a child as big as in the capital, it also has a kind of neatness.
Gu Yao and the others walked on the country road, and on both sides of the path were freshly ploughed land. Because it's not yet time, it's bare.
Xiaohua walked aside, and Gu Yao spoke.
"Little flower, what's all there to do here?"
Xiaohua was very reserved, but still said: "There is a lot of fun here." ”
Gu Yao's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”
Xiaohua was talking, and the whole person slowly relaxed. "Picking flowers, making honey. In the summer, you can pick lotus seeds, and there is a particularly large lake here. It's full of lotus flowers, and it's beautiful. ”
"Picking flowers?"
Xiaohua nodded, "Yes, it's just that the second girl came at the wrong time this time." If you come in the middle of the moon at night, it will be full of flowers. Then you can make honey. ”
Hearing Xiaohua say this, Gu Yao was very disappointed.
"Half a month later, we will have already returned home, and we will definitely not see it."
The little flower man is still young, where will it comfort people. Seeing this, Gu Wan said, "If you are really curious, you will send someone over to get a jar at that time." ”
Gu Yao stomped her feet and said, "I'm just curious about how they make honey." ”
