Chapter 517: Frankness
Chapter 517 is straightforward
Zhang Yang was a little ashamed, feeling that he was not squeamish before, and he also worked when he was busy farming, but he never thought about it, this farming and water conservancy breeding can be so cyclical and endless, and the strange teacher said "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles". (倩倩Chinese)
He was born in a peasant family, not to mention some sour scholars, who studied completely behind closed doors and did economics like a teacher, which is really a minority.
He went to check all over Xiatangji again, recorded the accumulated experience on paper, and gave Huaizi a lot of suggestions. In the past, he was just dedicated to studying and learning, and he didn't care much about these things, but now once he thinks about these things and integrates what he has learned in his heart, he is one level higher than Huaizi's view of the problem, so he helped his brother very much.
It doesn't matter if he is busy, from the Cao family to the four concubines, they are all busy, thinking that even if he doesn't help, he can't make trouble for the master.
So, Chrysanthemum looked at these delicate women dumbfounded, and sent the boys out to help Uncle Liu work, and the girl only left one to serve by her side, and the rest also handed over to the grapes to arrange things, or help pick and dry vegetables, or help with laundry, cooking, sprinkling, etc., the most shocking thing is that several of them followed behind He and Chrysanthemum, saying that they would help with the work!
After breakfast that day, the family gossiped a few words, and Zhang Yang prepared to go out with his father and brother.
The youngest Aunt Huang innocently said to him: "Master, my sisters and I also want to go around the forest. We're not playful, and we can also help pick fungus. My sister-in-law said that the peaches can also be picked, and we can also help if we want to make dried peaches. β
She always forgot to call her "concubine", and she looked like she was playful and ignorant of the world, and her high-sounding words could not hide the longing look on her face, which made everyone laugh.
Zhang Yang also smiled, he liked this concubine very much-who would hate a naΓ―ve and scheming girl? The daughter of a good little official, who was also pampered at home, did not provoke anyone, but was sent by his relatives to be his concubine. While he sympathized, he couldn't help but pity her more.
"You want to play, right? What do you do with someone else? Zhang Yang joked and asked Cao with his eyes.
Cao Shi smiled slightly and nodded at him gently.
Aunt Huang hurriedly said, "The second wife also wants to go." Isn't it, second wife? The other sisters also want to go. β
Everyone smiled and nodded, Cao's was the most atmospheric, and smiled at Zhang Yang: "I heard my mother say that I planted vegetables and picked bamboo shoots and fungus, I think it's very interesting." Moreover, the concubine is raised in the deep boudoir. I don't know how to farm, and I don't divide the grains, even if I don't have to do these things in the future, it's good to follow my mother and sister-in-law to see it. Again. The scenery on this mountain is also extremely beautiful, and when you go out for a walk, you can also see how the place where the old man was born contains aura. β
Zhang Yang asked He and Chrysanthemum: "Mother, Sister Chrysanthemum, is it convenient to take them out?" β
Zhang Dazhuan waved his hand and said, "What's inconvenient?" I'm afraid that you won't be able to endure hardship, and come back and shout that your legs are sore, don't blame your mother and sister-in-law at that time. β
He Shile took Aunt Huang's hand and said with a smile: "It's not in the way." Isn't it just going to the woods, my mother will take you. Your sister-in-law often takes the babies there, too. She likes to pick mushrooms the most. When I went, I asked Steward Liu to disperse the people first, leaving only the acquaintances around me, like Heipi, your Uncle Liu, and two male babies are also common. β
Sincerity is the best way to make friends, although these daughters-in-law are very flattering and flattering her, but He can't say why. I like this Aunt Huang the most, and then the Cao family. It's not that the Cao family is not as good as Aunt Huang, but the Cao family is dignified and elegant, which makes her very unaccustomed and not as close as Aunt Huang.
As for the others, even if she is a peasant woman, she has not lived in vain for decades, of course she knows that they only curry favor with her in the face of her son.
Chrysanthemum listened to He's words. I thought that although it was a little troublesome, it was better than nesting at home, waiting for a walk around the house from outside, and one by one I was tired and dead, and then I pulled two bowls of rice and took a bath. Make sure they sleep like dead dogs in bed, and don't have the heart to say this or that.
However, this metaphor is not very good for a few coquettish beauties, who are busy bowing their heads and snickering.
waited for a smile before looking up and said, "It's not very troublesome, just bring more people with my brother and sister." If nothing else, go out happily, and come back safely. The forest is not as good as the yard, the road is not easy to walk, not to mention, even there are more snakes and insects. Shallot, you take a leave of absence from the master today, carry the medicine box on your back, and accompany your aunt and aunts together. With your half-hung water, let's rest assured. β
Zhang Yang smiled and said to shallots: "Shallots, then Uncle is counting on you." But you tell the uncle the truth, can you see a doctor? Will you take the pulse? How many herbs do you recognize? β
When he asked, everyone laughed, but Shallot didn't care at all, and said seriously: "It's okay." I just tried it on my aunts, and now it's not easy to find someone who is willing to let me get a needle and medicine. β
Aunt Huang was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "My body is very good, and I don't even cough." β
Everyone laughed, and even Aunt Liu, who didn't talk much, covered her mouth and smiled.
So, a group of women with Zhang Yang's consent happily went back to the room to change their clothes. After changing his clothes and pants, He Shi couldn't say it when he saw it, and said that his sleeves and trouser legs should be tied up, otherwise it would be easy to itch, so he had to change it again when he returned to the house.
Seeing that this was not a problem, Chrysanthemum was afraid that she would "get up in the middle of the night and go down to Yangzhou, walking around and still behind the house", so she had to find some old clothes with He Shi and send them to the women, afraid that they would not like it, so she coaxed them to say that it was more convenient to wear this activity in the woods.
Waiting for Chrysanthemum to lead a group of strange-looking women out like a tour guide, the two brothers Zhang Yang and Zhang Huai couldn't help laughing.
Why? Needless to say, the clothes they wore - even if they were coarse cloth and plain clothes on these people, it was difficult to hide the beauty, they removed the hairpin rings on their heads, wrapped their headscarves, and held a thin green bamboo stick in their hands, holding baskets, pretending to pull here and there, it was really funny.
Huaizi was afraid that something would really happen, and the house was a mess at that time, so he would rather spend more time now, so he asked Liu Heizi and his son to lead four or five boys to follow them, and Chrysanthemum called Aunt Liu, Xiaoxi, and Cherry, and simply handed over the family to the grape to take care of, and asked her to lead the people in the second room to prepare lunch.
Of course, the little baby was not allowed to go, so Red Pepper received a major task: to take care of her two younger brothers.
In this way, He and Chrysanthemum took the girls to the woods, and they didn't go far, but they walked around the oak garden, picked fungus, and went to pick mushrooms, or pinched flowers and fruits, and came purely for an outing.
When they first entered the woods, everyone still had some scruples about their manners, and after a while, they listened to the endless shouts in the forest, screaming again and again, and the warblers and swallows were singing, and the birds on the trees competed with each other.
It's just teenage girls, none of them are over twenty, who is not happy to be able to play like this regardless of the rules and etiquette? Besides, her husband allowed it, and her mother-in-law led it, so they forgot to be reserved, exposed their nature, and laughed loudly.
In this nature, they are temporarily isolated from the red dust of the outside world, discarding the desire to compete for fame and fortune, and revealing their innocence.
Heipi and others were scattered around, constantly reminding some matters to pay attention to, and letting people open the way in front to prevent wild animals with snakes from frightening people.
It's funny to say, the women believe in He and Aunt Liu more, so they follow them and ask a bunch of strange questions.
Cao and Chrysanthemum walked together, full of novelty, carefully picked up a gray-red mushroom and held it in his hand, and asked Chrysanthemum: "Sister-in-law, can you eat this?" β
Chrysanthemum nodded and said, "This is the most common in the forest." Autumn is a little more. The forest rangers at home usually see poisonous mushrooms, and they have to mark them in that place, and they want to cut off their roots! So there are fewer and fewer poisonous mushrooms, but we are still very cautious and dare not be careless. β
Cao Shi sighed, turned around and saw that the maid Lan'er was more excited than her, squatting next to a bush of wild gardenias with cherries, happily pinching a half-open one on her chest, without bowing her head, the rich fragrance continued to emanate.
Seeing that his wife was looking at her, she hurriedly pinched two more flowers and sent them over: "Mrs., this is so fragrant!" There are so many gardenias on this mountain, I've seen several of them. β
Cao Shi quietly smiled and took the flower, let her go play by herself, don't worry about her, she is with her sister-in-law, she will be fine.
Chrysanthemum thought funny, when she came to this mountain forest, these maids still had to be taken care of, where could they still serve people?
The two walked and chatted, and Chrysanthemum told her that there are a lot of bamboo shoots and mushrooms in spring, and you can also pick toons and wild plums, which are easy to catch even hares.
Cao Shi listened with relish, and couldn't help but tell Chrysanthemum about her past days, saying that she had grown up to sixteen years old and had never been out a few times, but she was invited by some ladies and ladies in the capital to meet for half a day or an hour, so she had never come out to play like this.
also said that she also reads and writes at home, plays the piano and paints, learns female celebrity and cooking, etc., which is a standard girl's life.
Chrysanthemum looked at her demure and elegant demeanor, even in this suburban forest, there was no sense of disharmony, but because of the deep nature, it was more free.
She likes this younger brother and sister very much, she is really noble, elegant and pleasant, unlike Aunt Liu, although it is not bad, because of her high appearance, it always makes people feel a little lacking.
Even if the shade in the woods is cool, everyone is busy and sweaty. Chrysanthemum was afraid that they would be tired, and when she saw that the sun was empty, she beckoned everyone to go back.
Aunt Huang saw that there were not a few mushrooms in her small basket, and she was a little reluctant, so she pleaded with Chrysanthemum: "Sister-in-law, turn around for a while, I feel like it's only been out for a while!" β
Aunt Gao also said: "That's it." Sister-in-law, let's pick up more, I just made a dish to eat at noon. My sister I will make a dish made with mushrooms and stew chicken in soup......"
She crackled and said how to do it, and Chrysanthemum wanted to laugh when she heard it: If you use chicken soup to mix it like this, even if you put a handful of weeds in it, the taste will not be bad, not to mention that it is still a delicious mushroom!
