Chapter 81: Mother and Daughter Whisper
In the small bedroom, the mother and daughter held hands. Tell the story of what happened after the farewell.
"After my mother followed your father to the new Longzhou, the days before were very boring. Your father was a new officer, but his previous abilities were mediocre, leaving a lot of messes to clean up, and he was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground. My mother has no relatives or friends over there, so she sits at home all day! ”
"I was expecting Qin'er to solve it for her mother, but I didn't know that this child couldn't stay idle at home. Your father is busy with official business, and he can't spare time to discipline him, so he just thinks of you all day long, so my mother let him over...... Who knew that this time he came back, but brought back the news that your house was burned......"
Xiaoxiao listened to the stepmother's babbling, nodding her head from time to time. Mrs. Li" > after talking about some of the situations after she arrived in Longzhou, and followed the conversation:
"Daughter, tell Wei Niang, is your house a fire that Wu Siyuan instructed someone to set on fire?"
Xiaoxiao's face froze: "Mother, it's hard to say about this matter, although my daughter also suspects that it is him, but after all, there is no evidence!" The daughter doesn't dare to slander the court officials! ”
Mrs. Li's > snorted heavily: "There must be no doubt that he is the mother, I just told you that your father encountered some trouble a while ago." The trouble is the trouble of the border people in Longzhou and Shangzhou. Almost killed. The history of the governor of Shang is Wu Siyuan's uncle! ”
Xiaoxiao only then knew that Wu Siyuan actually used this relationship, in order to contain his father, so that his father had no time to take care of his side. Thinking like this, the last trace of sympathy for Wu Siyuan in his heart was also thrown out of the clouds. With such a deep scheming and such vicious means, but extremely greedy, if such a person is an official, won't he harm the people?
Fortunately, the thief has now returned to his hometown, and after three years, who knows what will happen? Thinking of this, he said softly to his stepmother:
"Mother, then Wu Siyuan is no longer a county order, he is just a famous and powerless Ding Wei official, let's put this matter aside for now!"
Mrs. Li's > already knew about this, and nodded in agreement when she heard the words, but said angrily: "Retribution!" ”
Xiao Xiao laughed lightly when he heard this, and then asked out loud:
"Mother, when you come here this time, you must stay for a while and relax on the farm. By the way, you don't know yet, do you? The farm of the young word daughter has already begun to have a harvest! ”
"Really?? Tell me about the harvest? ”
"It's not a lot yet, just the first batch of 500 hens are laying eggs. There is only a harvest of about one tael of silver a day. But by this time next month, when the second batch of more than 1,000 hens starts laying eggs, the harvest will be doubled! ”
Mrs. Li" > couldn't help but rejoice when she heard this: "Great, daughter, your efforts are finally starting to pay off!!"
Xiao smiled lightly and didn't answer, but when she heard her stepmother, she sighed with emotion:
"Just a few months ago, you were running around for this farm, and you toiled every day, and you don't know how much you suffered and how tired! Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the farm began to have a harvest! Daughter, it's really hard for you! As he spoke, he reached out and stroked his little hair and face.
Xiao Xiao closed her eyes softly, feeling the heartfelt care of her stepmother, and only after a while did she speak:
At this time, the sun was hot, and at dusk, my daughter accompanied her mother to the farm for a walk. You don't know. At dusk, the view from the farm is beautiful! ”
"Hehe, good! But daughter, Weiniang came all the way, but she hasn't had lunch yet, do you want to let Weiniang go shopping with you hungry? ”
When Xiaoxiao heard her stepmother say this, she suddenly jumped up, her face full of embarrassment and embarrassment: "Mother forgive me, as soon as my daughter saw my mother, she was a little carried away with joy, and my daughter went to cook herself and prepare lunch for her mother!" ”
Mrs. Li" > saw her nervous appearance, and couldn't help but 'giggle' out laughing: "Look at your nervous appearance, where do you look like a Mrs. Xie Yuan" >, like the owner of such a big farm, tease you for your mother!" Let's go, go with you for my mother, I have long heard Qin'er say that you make a good dish, and today I will help you for my mother, and taste my daughter's craftsmanship! ”
"How's that going to work? Mother's journey is tiring, let's rest for a while, wait for my daughter to prepare lunch, and then call my mother! ”
"How can it be so delicate? The whole way was on the carriage, and he didn't even move half a step. What's more, it's boring for my mother to stay in this room, so it's better to go to the kitchen with you, and our mother and daughter are talking while preparing lunch! ”
Xiaoxiao couldn't resist her, so she had to agree. When I got to the door of the kitchen, I called the mustache again. It's impossible to really let your stepmother do it or even be an old woman who burns fire, right? Less words
So, the mother and daughter were preparing lunch in the kitchen, and there was a small talk about whether they were a match or not. Xiao Xin also felt strange why he always had so many words when facing his stepmother. So much so that even lunch was served, and the two of them were still chattering. It wasn't until the first bite of the dish was delivered to Mrs. Li's > mouth that the conversation began to slowly stop. Why? Because Mrs. Li's "> mouth is no longer free......
At dusk, Xiaoxiao supported her stepmother with one hand and slowly walked on the bluestone path in Aixiao Farm. After four or five months of continuous construction and beautification, Ai Xiao Farm has become in good order. The chicken and pig farms are on both sides of the pond, and the fences outside are whitewashed with lime. The manure produced by the chicken farm is fermented and turned into excellent pig feed. The manure produced by the pig farm is led through a ditch to the bottom of the pond. The whole farm, no longer smell that bad smell!
A bluestone trail encircles the pond of more than 30 acres for a week, and then extends to a farther open space. The vacant land over there was not counted in the scope of Ai Xiao Farm before. It was only after receiving Li Shimin's favor that the wall was rebuilt and included. In other words, today's love small farm has covered an area of 400 acres.
At this time, Xiaoxiao was pointing to the clearing in the distance. For Mrs. Lee", > explained:
"Mother, please see, in that vacant land over there, my daughter is going to build a row of houses for VIPs to live in! Look at it again." As he spoke, he pointed to the open space next to the pig farm, "Here, my daughter plans to build a barbecue field!" ”
"Barbecue?" Mrs. Li," > suddenly asked, "What is a barbecue place?" ”
"Hehe, my mother will know it then, anyway, it is also a place for guests to relax!"
Seeing that she was reluctant to say more, Mrs. Li's "> suppressed that curiosity first. The mother and daughter chatted while walking, and the topic gradually shifted to Jiang Zhixuan:
"Daughter, Zhixuan is now in the palace. Have you ever written to you often? ”
Xiao Xiao roughly recalled, nodded and replied, "Yes, there have been five letters before and after!" ”
Mrs. Li" > nodded with satisfaction: "Even if he has some conscience, by the way, does he know about the burning of the house?" ”。
"Well, my daughter informed him when she asked Brother Qin to reply, but she never told him that the fire was man-made. Just told him that it was his daughter who accidentally knocked over the oil lamp! ”
Mrs. Li" > heard this, just like Li Qin at the beginning, and asked in surprise: "Why did you carry the black pot for Wu Siyuan's thief?" ”
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly: "Mother, do you think, with Zhixuan's temper, if he knew that the fire was caused by man, he would be worried, and it is very likely that he would risk running into His Majesty and insist on coming back." If that were the case, wouldn't it be a waste of all the work? ”
Mrs. Li" > nodded: "Yes! Yes, extremely! ”。 said with a smile and said: "If the husband is like this, you are also a blessed person, daughter!" However, if Zhixuan stays in the palace for a long time and delays his homework, what should he do when it comes to spring? ”
Xiao Xiao Wenyan was relieved: "Mother don't worry, Zhixuan is now the companion of His Royal Highness the Prince, and his daily homework has never fallen behind." His Majesty is also very tight on his schoolwork, and he often takes school exams! And he wrote to him last time that maybe in late autumn, His Majesty will allow him to return to his hometown and province! ”
Mrs. Li> pouted when she heard this: "Late autumn?" It's been a long time! ”
Xiao Xiao chuckled: "This is also a matter of no way, Your Majesty favors him, and his daughter is also very happy in her heart." Just in time for the big harvest on the farm and the new house was built! When he comes back, he will be reunited and have a happy New Year, giggle......"
Mrs. Li" > saw her look of satisfaction and intoxication, and couldn't help but quip:
"Xiao Nizi, look at your appearance, it's only July, and there's still half a year to go before the New Year. It's not too early to think about it! According to your mother, you miss your husband, I'm afraid it's going to hurt lovesickness! ”
Xiaoxiao didn't follow what she said: "Mother, you are making fun of your daughter again!" Said another serious statement: "By the way, mother, the fire in the house burned all the poetry books of Zhixuan, and the rest of the poetry books, after Brother Qin listed the bibliography, my daughter has bought them all." However, there is a book of poetry called "The Great Sage Collection". Brother Qin said that it was a rare book, and it could not be purchased in the bookstore. My daughter also went to the bookstore to ask, but it was indeed difficult to find! Mother goes back this time, can you ask your father to pay attention to one or two on her behalf? ”
Mrs. Li's "> saw that she was so considerate of her husband, and wanted to be anxious about her, so she scolded her:
"After your brother came back, I mentioned it to your father, but for my mother, I heard your father say that the book of poetry is indeed a rare book. It took him a lot of effort, but he couldn't find ......."
Sure enough, Xiaoxiao didn't wait for her stepmother to finish speaking, and said eagerly: "What should I do then?" Zhixuan has always regarded the book "Daxian Collection" as a treasure, although he said in the letter that he didn't care. But his daughter knows that he must be distressed! ”
Mrs. Li" > saw her anxious appearance, and couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so she stretched out her hand and pointed at her forehead:
"Little Nizi, tease you, your father has already found the book. This time, you will go to Longzhou with me, and by the way, get back the book! ”
Little Big Joy: "Great! Thank you, mother! As he spoke, he gently kissed Mrs. Li's > cheek, which provoked Mrs. Li's > to laugh and scold for a while.
Six days later, Xiao Xiao explained the things about the farm. took Li Siye and Wei'er, followed his stepmother, and embarked on a journey to Longzhou......
