Chapter 65 The Concubine

Spring is approaching, and it's time to pick up the fields in the Zhuangzi.

Xiaoru met with the Zhuang households of the Zhang and Wang families. Asked about the situation of spring sowing, she still has a batch of fresh seeds in her hands, and a considerable part of them do not occupy good land, so Xiaoru asked the two families to reclaim the thin fields on the mountain as soon as possible, and planned to plant corn and sweet potatoes in June, especially sweet potatoes, which have high yields per mu, are disease and drought tolerant, and can be used as food and feed livestock.

The people of Zhang Wang's family are honest farmers, but because Lou Yi has bought a lot of fields recently, the two of them are a little too busy, Xiaoru is thinking about asking the housekeeper to accept a few more families, and it is estimated that there will be news in a while. The housekeepers at home are all clever people, and they should be measured, and they can't miss spring ploughing.

On the large balcony on the second floor of the villa, Xiaoru raised some spider plants, aloe vera and evergreen, full of greenery, and a white porcelain fish tank, in which a few carp were placed, looking quite emotional, the white marble round table was full of fragrance of flower tea, leaning on the recliner made of bamboo, Xiaoru took the account book, and there was a lazy panda lying under her feet.

The days of the New Year, busy past, Xiaoru has raised a few lazy bones, always cowardly, unwilling to move, fortunately, there is really nothing big for her to worry about, lazy is lazy, life is comfortable, is the most important.

"Young Lady ......"

Xiao Ru was looking at the account books and looked a little dizzy, Meng Nier Xiaoyan and Fu'er actually joined forces and rushed upstairs on their feet, not even caring about etiquette, and shouted out of breath: "Young lady, take a look, are they still saved?" ”

Xiao Ru looked up. I saw Fu'er's little face full of crystal teardrops, holding a wet golden wire birdcage and rushing over, wow, crying.

Xiao Ru stretched out her hand to catch her, took down the birdcage by the way, opened the cage door, and put the pair inside all over the body, stiffened, only the chest shook slightly, and the starling, who didn't know life and death, took out a dry towel, wiped the water stains on the starling's body first, and rested it on his own knees, 'heard' the two birds shouting vigorously - so terrifying, Xiao Ru's heart was put down, and said with a smile: "Meng Nier, soak a little steamed bread paste in warm water...... Don't cry, my good fortune, if you cry again, you're going to become a little cat, starlings are fine. When they've eaten, I'll give them some more medicine, and they'll be relieved tomorrow. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, when did the young lady deceive Fu'er?"

The little girl saw that her young lady looked calm, and saw the two starlings' shaking feet, stood up, and her body was not so shaky, and finally stopped crying, squatted obediently to the side, stretched out her fingers, stroked the black and wet feathers of the two birds, and said softly: "Doudou, don't be afraid...... The bad guys are gone......"

Listening to the childish voice of the little girl, Xiao Ru Wan'er, only then did she carefully look at the two starlings who stood on their knees, and seemed to be very close to themselves, these two birds have a big palm, a slender body, a pair of eyeballs and elves, and the characteristics of the 'five whites' are very obvious, coupled with the fiery red and red eyes and sand, and the jade white mouth, you can know at a glance that this is the best bird, and it should not be difficult to train.

Coaxed Fu'er to take a small bowl and went to the side to feed Starling, Xiaoru straightened her face, glared at Meng Nier and Xiaoyan and said, "What the hell is going on, you two took Fu'er to go shopping today." I have repeatedly told you to be cautious and cautious, this is the capital, and if there is chaos, I don't have the ability to save you. ”

Menier gritted her teeth indignantly and grunted as she went through the matter from beginning to end.

These days, Fu'er doesn't go to class, Xiaoru thinks about the New Year, throws away her hand, plays with her, and doesn't restrain her, as a result, the little girl is playing wild, jumping around at home to make trouble, she is the age of naughty, a person's lethality is big enough, this time, with three raised by Xiaoru in addition to being well-behaved in front of his eyes, once Xiaoru can't see it, he immediately becomes the three animals of the little demon king of the mixed world, and the whole mansion is up and down, chickens and dogs jump, and even Ding Feng, who came over to eat, was implicated.

Wait for the stewards and maids to tell you. Xiaoru laughed, thinking that it was not a bad thing for Fu'er to be lively, but it was not a problem to toss the family all the time, so it was better to rush to the street to see the excitement, so she gave a few taels of silver, beat Meng Nier and Xiaoyan and took her out to play, of course, there were several families around her.

Fu'er rarely saw such a lively scene in the capital, so she was naturally very happy, but. Although she is more lively, but the etiquette and other teachings, Xiaoru has never relaxed, when she goes out, Fu'er does not run around, only takes Meng Nier and Xiaoyan's hands and goes shopping slowly, buying a little rock sugar gourd, candy and pastries and other gadgets.

As a result, the group walked to the front of the Confucius Temple, ten miles of Qinhuai, painting boats and drums, lively and busy, Fu'er saw two bright starlings selling on the street at a glance, and immediately couldn't walk, she was influenced by Xiaoru since she was a child, and she liked animals the most.

The trader who went out to do business, who was not a young man with excellent vision and selling starlings, as soon as he saw Fu'er's very fond little appearance, he immediately handed over the birdcage neatly.

Meng Nier and Xiaoyan saw that his price was fair, and the most important thing was that Fu'er liked it, so they simply paid for it, but they never thought that before Fu'er could carry the birdcage in his hand, he was snatched away by another meat hand.

As soon as Meng Nier and the others turned their heads, they saw a boy who was only about eleven or twelve years old, with a round body like a ball, a big head, a big belly, and couldn't even see his neck, was pulling the bird cage with one hand, and waved it with the other, especially domineering: "Lao Tian, don't give me any money, I like this young master bird." ”

Following him, a middle-aged man with a very mean face touched his sleeve for a long time. I took out a copper plate and handed it to the vendor standing aside, at a loss.

At first, seeing this child wearing gold and silver, he couldn't wait to dress himself up in gold, and thought they had to spend a lot of money, but they didn't expect that after digging for a long time, there were only two copper plates, that's it, that Lao Tian still looked extremely painful, fortunately Xiaoru was not there at the time, if he was there, maybe he would laugh and scold - ancient Grande.

Of course, these businessmen have always disliked to offend people, even if they disdain their hearts, they will not show it on their faces, but they smile respectfully: "I'm sorry, little master, these two starlings, that young lady has already bought them, or, you can go and look elsewhere?" ”

As a result, when the child heard this, he was immediately annoyed, raised his hand casually, snapped, and threw the birdcage into the river at once, his movements were very fast, from the hawker to the time he threw the cage, it was only a blink of an eye, no one reacted, such a neat approach, obviously not the first time to do it, after throwing, the boy turned around, turned his head and left with his subordinates, and proudly threw down the sentence: "Two drowned ghost birds, this young master still doesn't want it!" ”

"Young lady, don't you see his arrogant and domineering face, it's really annoying."

Meng Nier was indignant, and even Xiaoyan, who had always been mild-tempered, was a little annoyed.

Xiao Ru frowned, and there was a sense of anger in her heart, and she sneered: "This kind of temperament, I don't know which idiot adult is used to it, look at it, show it, it will not end well......" However, Xiao Ru usually has a gentle temper, but it does not mean that she has no temper, her own child is a weakness, and her anger must not be in vain, looking at Fu'er's eyes that are still red, Xiao Ru squinted, and decided to dispatch the 'Hundred Beast Army' in the city to find out what the origin of this arrogant child is.

As soon as Xiao Ru got into his heart, it was really not difficult to find out the news, and just after dinner, he had already made the eight generations of that kid's ancestors and grandchildren clear.

It's just that when she heard the news from a few magpies that flew down on the branches, Xiao Ru's anger towards that kid disappeared a little, and she still had some sympathy.

That child is the concubine of Zhang Tianyi Zhang Boss of Changlong Weaving, who is raised by his mother's side on weekdays, that Mrs. Zhang is compassionate on the surface, and treats her daughter and her husband's concubine's son equally, and the son of the concubine is much more pampered, and the food is all the best, and she is usually pampered very much, even Zhang Tianyi's concubine sometimes sees that her son is not like a word, and informs Zhang Tianyi, and wants him to teach him a few words, she protects her in every way, Zhang Tianyi sees that his wife is so virtuous, and treats his concubine so well, Naturally, I respect her more, don't look at a lot of concubines in the Zhang family, but those who can give birth to Zhang Tianyi have children, except for the concubine who was accepted at the beginning, who was his distant cousin, who was more favored, was only Mrs. Zhang.

I heard that Mrs. Zhang added another son-in-law a few years ago, but her attitude towards her concubine remained unchanged at all.

Mrs. Zhang is so willing to coax this child to play, but she doesn't pay much attention to his studies, so that the child is in his teens, he can't recognize all the words, and the big characters written are like ghost paintings, Zhang Tianyi only thinks that this kid is dull, gradually, he is disappointed in him a lot, I only feel that this child is not a motivated person, and when he grows up, he will ask for a daughter-in-law, and raise it, anyway, there are a lot of food for him at home.

Xiao Ru shook her head while listening, and said in her heart, this Mrs. Zhang is really a powerful person...... But Changlong weaving, isn't it the one who gave gifts to himself, thinking of this, Xiao Ru took it to heart and decided to stay away from this Mrs. Zhang, otherwise, with his head that doesn't have much conspiracy and calculation, he was sold by others, and I am afraid that he will be happy to count the money for others.
