(shortcutβ) (shortcutβ)
The paint on the courtyard door of the Liu family's courtyard is still red and bright, Zhang Si, who is a little rickety, opened the door and sprinkled water in front of the door, so as not to raise the soil in the wind, two girls wearing apricot-colored backs came out of the backyard with a pot of withered lilacs, and saw Zhang Si outside and the two of them hurriedly put down the flower pot to take a breath, one of them had a melon seed face, and a greedy girl with a mole at the corner of his mouth crossed his waist and said: "Dad, throw this out." β
Zhang Si put down the broom after listening, walked over slowly, and walked out without speaking, the two girls shook the handkerchief and laughed and went in, and entered the courtyard where Liu Xiaohu lived through the mezzanine, where the newly paved green brick ground, built two flower beds, and now planted two newly moved full house, although the trunk is a little green, but also pulled out the buds, under the eaves there is a slip of potted flowers, such as chrysanthemum lilacs, etc. are blooming, the two girls opened the new red curtain hanging at the main door, and then arranged the vase on the strip, pulled out the plum blossoms that have been open for a few days, I could hear a lazy voice inside: "Red incense, green jade." I hurriedly stopped what I was doing, lifted the bead curtain on the partition and went in, and saw Song Yulou, who was wearing a thin jacket with a homely entwined branch lotus, stretching his waist lazily by the bedside.
"Madame, would you like some porridge?" The girl with the melon seed face hurriedly smiled and walked over, took the coat on the side and draped it on her, "Although it is almost noon, it is still a little cold in our house, and Mrs. is not cold." β
Song Yulou smiled, sat down in front of the table, frowned and said, "Find a day, let Erlang dismantle the roll shed in front of him, blocking the cold in the light room." He said to the mirror and said, "I don't eat porridge, it's crooked, Hongxiang, you go get hot milk." β
Hongxiang turned around in response, and another silver-faced girl hurriedly came over, opened the ornament box, and said, "What kind of hair does Madame want to comb?" β
Song Yulou thought for a while and said, "The day before yesterday, we saw that lady's Feiluan walking phoenix and high sideburns at Lord Shilang's house, are you going to?" β
Green Jade nodded and smiled, while picking up the comb and posing for more than a dozen gold and jade ornaments. said: "Yes, don't worry, madam, I'm afraid it's better than hers." Song Yulou looked at the selection carefully, and suddenly saw a letter pressed under the vase on the side, and asked while opening it, "Who sent this?" β
The green jade probe glanced at it, thought for a while, and said, "Daddy Zhang handed it in last night, and it was sent by Mrs. Deng Shilang Dong." β
Song Yulou had already dismantled half of his body and stiffened, the green jade was not wary, and dragged his head, Song Yulou turned around and poked the hairpin in her hand, and scolded: "Dead hooves, what kind of heart do you have!" Frightened, Green Jade fell to her knees and begged for mercy.
Song Yulou didn't comb his head anymore, stood up and walked a few steps before he opened the letter, and when he saw the place and time written on it, he felt a burst of anger in his heart, and crushed it in his hand, Hongxiang came in with a milk cup, and saw Luyu kneeling on the ground, and his heart trembled. I almost didn't dare to step forward, but I was seen by Song Yulou, and shouted with a cold face: "Don't roll in yet, I have been going for a long time, and where are I stumbling!" β
Hongxiang hurriedly picked it up and said carefully: "Grandma wants to tie the thread, so she called me to take a hand......"
Before he finished speaking, Song Yulou broke his face and said, "What? Think I can't be the master of your monthly money? Hurry to fly to the old lady's high branches? β
Frightened, Hongxiang also knelt on the ground and cried and said that she didn't dare, Song Yulou was angry, pointed and scolded: "What are you crying about?" Who wants to see that fox look? I hope I don't know, I always run to the officials when I have nothing to do, I haven't seen a man, and then let me see it, sell you to the kiln, so that you can see enough. β
The red incense that scolded couldn't cry, and he didn't dare to cry loudly, he blindly kowtowed and begged for mercy, Song Yulou scolded, ate milk, and then relieved his breath, let the red incense go out, and saw the green jade kneeling on the ground, and snorted: "What are you doing still dead there?" Get up and comb your hair! Frightened, Lu Yu hurriedly got up, combed her hair and waited for Song Yulou to wear a gold dress and change into a cloong skirt, and followed out with her head down.
"I went back and evened my face, and put on a crying appearance for anyone to see? Do you expect the old lady to give me a lecture before I am happy? Song Yulou glanced at the two girls sideways, and said coldly, frightened that the two girls hurriedly went in and evened their faces, and came out carefully, Song Yulou looked left and right, and then slowly walked to the front yard, and saw that Liu was drying the line in the yard, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother, you do this again, carefully your shoulders hurt, what is there to greet the two of them to do well." At the same time, he saw Liu's girl call Yun'er to run out of the house, so he glared and said, "Yun'er, let you not be a aunt in front of the old lady!" β
That Yun'er pouted and didn't dare to speak, Liu glanced at Song Yulou up and down, only felt that the aroma was smoking, and couldn't help frowning: "Where are you going?" β
Song Yulou hurriedly lowered his head and smiled: "A few ladies have made an appointment to look at the clothes, and I came to tell my mother." β
Liu looked unhappy, looked at the clothes on Song Yulou's body, and said, "Go and make clothes again?" Isn't this just what I did? According to me, the daughter-in-law is ...... Cao Hua: The clothes she left behind at that time were all newly made and had not yet been put on, and you could wear them if you were taller than her, so you don't have to spoil them. β
Song Yulou, who said it, lowered his head and changed his face a few times, and when he raised his head, he smiled obediently, and said: "What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law wrote it down, and this trip is just to accompany those ladies to see, I don't do it, I will pack up the clothes left by my sister," After that, his voice stopped, and he said a little timidly, "I want to send my sister over, she didn't bring anything when she left, I can't let go of ...... in my heart."
Liu's eyes were a little red, and he hurriedly turned around to cover it up, and said, "It's hard for you to still think about her...... She can't wear those clothes in the country, you ...... You can keep a little bit, and give her a few gifts to sell personal favors......" said as if remembering something, "I asked you to send her the title deed of Shifang Village, but did you send it?" It can be regarded that our Liu family did not treat her badly...... She had a woman in her family. β
Song Yulou nodded hurriedly, unfolded his eyes full of surprise, and said, "I sent it early, let Cao Liu'er take it with me." While wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, he said, "I know my mother's heart...... If my sister knows her mother's heart, she will definitely be able to dissipate her anger, and then we will take her back......"
Liu's eyes became redder and redder by what she said, and he was stunned for a long time before muttering, "I can't come back...... Even if she knows my heart, she can't come back......"
Song Yulou just took a handkerchief to accompany him sadly, looked windy, and hurriedly let Yun'er help him into the house, Liu told a few words not to spend money to come back early, etc., Song Yulou withdrew, turned around, where was there a little smile on his face, gritted his fine teeth, twisted the handkerchief in front of him and walked out quickly, there was already a prepared car waiting, got into the car and threw the handkerchief hard, and said coldly: "A mouthful of a daughter-in-law!" Don't look at who your daughter-in-law is now! I want people to be daughters-in-law, and I don't want to see if they are rare! If I think I'm spending money, how much can I spend? How much silver did Erlang Yulu get plus the reward, and he held it firmly in his hands, and he was not afraid of long hair! I'm so poor! β
The red fragrant green jade on the side leaned against the car door and didn't dare to say a word, Song Yulou glared at it and shouted: "No eyes!" Still not leaving? β
Frightened, Hongxiang hurriedly lifted the curtain to urge the coachman, and the coachman asked, "Where is Madame going?" Hongxiang glanced at Song Yulou boldly, and said carefully: "Go to Yunfeng Tower." β
The incense cart with the four corners of the accessories slowly walked towards the city, and Liu Xiaohu who was riding a horse through the street took a look, Song Yulou saw it through the curtain, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him, Liu Xiaohu urged the horse over, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Where is the lady going?" β
Song Yulou saw that his face was slightly stiff, with a trace of worry in the corners of his eyes, and a layer of sweat on his head, he hurriedly reached out to take a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said earnestly: "Erlang, what are you busy with these days, and you don't go home, you are carefully tired." β
Liu Xiaohu smiled reluctantly, dodged her hand, and said: "There are frequent wheat disasters in the area of Hebei East Road, I have been out for a few days, I just came back today, I rushed to face the saint, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back tonight, you remember to tell your mother, don't worry." β
Song Yulou nodded in response, and said with concern: "Erlang, don't be tired, I asked someone to make soup for you, you have to remember to eat." β
Liu Xiaohu nodded, let her go first, watched the incense car turn away, and then urged the horse to run towards the imperial city, and entered the imperial city, the early dynasty has dispersed, but the ministers have not dispersed, and they are talking in twos and threes around the palace cabinet, and they are busy coming to say hello when they see him coming, and those who are familiar with him are busy asking: "How is your lord?" Can the disaster be controlled? Liu Xiaohu nodded with a smile, and everyone on the lookers breathed a sigh of relief, and I don't know who smiled: "Thanks to Lord Liu's good teaching, the Cao family was sick early, and there was no delay." Everyone's faces were a little embarrassed, I don't know whether to echo or scold, and I feel that what this person said is also reasonable, they all immediately looked at Liu Xiaohu, and saw that Liu Xiaohu's face changed slightly, and at this time, another chamberlain came out and said that His Majesty had summoned Liu Xiaohu, and he was busy entering, and there was a discussion immediately behind Liu Xiaohu.
Liu Xiaohu just walked to the inner court, and the buzzing sound seemed to be echoing in his ears, which only made his heart tighten, and the thought of being busy with disaster relief for many days came up again, where was she going? Why don't you stay at home? There is a house and land, what is this going to do? Isn't it, the villagers laugh at her? Or did Lu scold her? Forcing her to remarry? Thinking of this, I only felt that my heart was pumping hard, and I couldn't help but grasp the placket with my hand, and my mouth was bitter, do you want to remarry?
"Lord Liu!" The chamberlain standing on the side hurriedly whispered to him, which made Liu Xiaohu come back to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down for the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair, and the emperor had already ordered someone to stop him, and said with an anxious face, "How?" How much will the harvest be kept? β
Liu Xiaohu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty Hongfu, Daming, Kaide, Hejian, Cang, Hebei, Bo, and Di can all keep eighty percent, and Hebei West Road is less, but it can keep forty percent." β
When the emperor heard this, he leaned back on the dragon chair and breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered: "Forty percent or forty percent, it's good if there is no harvest, seven years of locust plague, the vitality has not yet recovered, and it is even another disaster." As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiaohu and got up and said, "Liu Aiqing, I want to thank you for the people of the world." β
Liu Xiaohu hurriedly knelt down and said he didn't dare, the emperor walked down a few steps, personally helped him up, looked at Liu Xiaohu's face full of dust and tiredness, ordered someone to bring out a lot of rewards, said some words of encouragement, suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment and said: "The Shennong lady that Guanshi County said, but your ...... But the Cao family of Shifang Village? β
Liu Xiaohu was stunned and said, "Listen to the description...... It should be her......" After a pause, she said, "she ...... She is also very proficient in farming...... Your Majesty, can you ...... Can you reward her with some ......?"
The emperor was a little surprised, looked at Liu Xiaohu, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "In that case, how can you ......?" Seeing that Liu Xiaohu was a little embarrassed for a moment, he coughed, stopped saying this, and nodded, "If it is verified, I will naturally reward her for reporting immediately." β
Liu Xiaohu was happy in his heart, and he hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, and attracted the emperor's interest in exploring, when he saw the meal, he ordered someone to give food to go with Liu Aiqing, and Liu Xiaohu was so panicked that he bowed a few times, and then sat down next to a corner, and waited for the emperor to move the chopsticks, and then carefully picked up a dish to eat, while saying something about what he had seen and heard, and the emperor who listened was particularly happy.
"By the way, Liu Aiqing, according to what you said, the cloud moss on the silt field has been picked, you can taste it." The emperor pointed to a plate of green dishes and said, "Niangniang loves to eat them, and they are much cheaper than the dishes in the greenhouse." β
Liu Xiaohu looked at the dishes in front of him, and couldn't help flashing Lindsay Yu's face in front of him, his hand trembled, but he didn't pick it up, and he heard the emperor continue, "Speaking of cloud moss, I was about to tell you that a few days ago, Lord Su Song, who had just returned to the court, wrote a book, suggesting that this cloud moss should not be picked, and wait until May to pick seeds and squeeze oil, it is of the highest grade, Lord Liu, the cloud moss was planted by you, do you think Lord Su can say anything?" β
Liu Xiaohu listened, his hand loosened and the chopsticks fell, and he hurriedly confessed, seeing that the emperor was not to blame, he thought about it, gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, the minister is to see that the greenhouse vegetables are expensive, so he wants to plant them as spring vegetables to eat, so as to reduce the price of vegetables, so that the rich and the poor can eat spring vegetables." β
Said the emperor nodded and said so, while praising Liu Xiaohu's love for the people, this was thrown away, a meal was eaten happily by the guests and hosts, bowed down, Liu Xiaohu wanted to go home, but was stopped by some ministers guarding outside, it turned out that these people saw his emperor's favor and power, how could they not stutter, and they wanted to invite him to eat and wash the dust, Liu Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and felt uncomfortable in his heart for no reason, so he lost the idea of going home, and promised to come down, and the group went lively.
And for Lindsay Yu, who was on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal at this time. I don't know anything about these things that were born behind her, and today's day is exceptionally good, so I called Ying'er to collect the specimens, put a large piece for Ying'er to look at, sat in the shade, and took a pen to carefully remember the soil quality and crop types that I saw along the way.
After walking for a long time, he felt that the river had stabilized, and he saw that there were more boats coming and going, and the people on the boat began to walk around, knowing that he was going to dock at the dock, he didn't want to get off the boat today, and he didn't pay attention to it, and suddenly heard Brother Ding shouting: "Hey, isn't that Su Daguan?" I couldn't help but raise my head and saw Huaiyin written on the dock in the distance, it was far away from Yangzhou, how could Su Jinnan in Jiangning come here? Shouldn't it be that Brother Ding is anxious to transport the goods, and he is dazzled.
Thinking about it, he stood up, took a look, and saw that in the bustling crowd of Huaiyin Wharf, there was a man in a plain white robe, and the boat approached slowly, and before he could see his face, the figure Lin Saiyu could see at a glance who else could it be if it was not Su Jinnan.
