Chapter 47: Li Xiaoya (I)

Mu Qingwan will not live in Jiangnan for too long, but Second Uncle Wang still made careful arrangements and arrangements. Of course, among them, Mu Qingwan was most touched by the fact that there was a large bookshelf in the room, although there were not many books in it, most of them were hard-to-find treasures, among which there were several precious medical books, Mu Qingwan was obsessed with medical skills, and had a small success, which was not a secret among familiar relatives. The status of the scholars in the Jing Dynasty was high, and under the influence of papermaking technology, hardcover books were very expensive, so the second uncle Wang did this for Mu Qingwan very carefully.

After visiting her own residence in the backyard, Mu Qingwan planned to go to the front yard to have a look, and the proposed to stay and pack her luggage.

Mu Chen's residence in the front yard is much simpler, but it is spacious, and wooden stakes are specially built in the courtyard for martial arts, and Mu Qingwan is also quite satisfied.

Refusing the steward's leadership, Mu Qingwan walked around the house with auspiciousness and wishful thinking.

The Zhuangzi is very large, similar to the general layout of a private manor, and there is a large vegetable garden behind the Zhuangzi, and the vegetables grown are for the use of the Zhuangzi. There is also an orchard, and it is just April, and the peach blossoms are at the end, and when a breeze blows, the petals will fall and the peach petals will fall on the ground.

Mu Qingwan was in a good mood, and on a whim, she instructed Jixiang and Ruyi to go find a bamboo basket, collect some flower petals, and go back to make peach blossom cakes and make peach blossom wine.

It's been long enough to come out, and I feel that the time has passed almost completely, and the second uncle and brother should finish talking. Mu Qingwan returned home with auspiciousness and wishful thinking.

As the three of them passed through the vegetable garden, they suddenly heard the sound of someone scolding and whimpering.

"Dead girl, don't work and run out to steal fun, see if I don't beat you." A chubby, short woman with a wooden stick in her hand punched a skinny girl.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore. Woo woo ~ don't dare. "The girl was about ten years old, thin and dry, and wearing patched clothes, dirty, and her body was nimble to dodge left and right, and even pulled out her hand to pick up the mud on the ground and threw it at the woman, but in spite of this, she was beaten many times, and the woman was so hard that she could hear the sound of pumping on her body.

"Oh, stinky girl, even if you dare to fight back, see how I teach you." The woman was so angry that she raised the stick in her hand and struck at the girl's head.

The woman's humanity is not light, and if this continues, the girl will obviously be injured. In such a scene, no matter who is right or wrong, it is better to stop it first. gave Ji Xiang a look, and Ji Xiang stepped forward with an arrow and grabbed the wooden stick that the woman was about to fall.

"Stop it, what's going on?" Jixiang stepped forward to stop the two people.

"Who?" The woman turned her head and looked at Mu Qingwan and the three of them.

"You, you're a young lady." The woman thought for a moment, then immediately reacted, threw away the wooden stick in her hand, and stepped forward to salute Mu Qingwan. "The slave's surname is Wang, and she is the woman in charge of the house, and she has seen the young lady."

The woman's stature is short and fat, but what she gave Mu Qingwan was a standard official etiquette, which shows that the woman should be more than just a simple subordinate.

The little girl who was beaten saw the woman go to salute Mu Qingwan, turned her back and threw away the clod of soil in her hand, secretly rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and muttered "Phew, slave virtue".

Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Mu Qingwan, and Mu Qingwan has been practicing martial arts for five years, her ears and eyes are clear, and what the little girl whispered can be heard clearly in her ears. Mu Qingwan's brows furrowed slightly, and then she looked at the woman.

"What happened?"

"Miss Hui, the slave is in charge of the kitchen, this girl's name is Li Xiaoya, and it was nothing big just now. It's just that this girl is too lazy, she used to be fine, and she doesn't know what's going on, and she suddenly became very slippery these days. It's not counted if I'm lazy all day long, and I always go to the kitchen to steal food, and I don't change my teachings. The slave just taught this girl a lesson. "Aunt Wang is now respectfully reporting to Mu Qingwan.

"I, I'm just too hungry." Li Xiaoya pouted and reluctantly retorted.

Generally, subordinates call themselves slaves or slaves, of course, there are also people like Hu Zhao and Ji Xiang Ruyi, who become subordinates. But it is really disrespectful to call myself to my master.

Li Xiaoya calls herself me, and her body stands straight, without any consciousness of being a subordinate.

Mu Qingwan wondered in her heart, could it be that there was some hidden secret, just a trivial matter.

"If you make a mistake, your aunt will discipline you well. If there is anything hidden, the aunt can be appropriately tolerant and don't have to hit someone. Mu Qingwan's words changed, "Of course, if you don't change your mistakes repeatedly, you can let people find another place." ”

"Yes, yes, the slave knows."

Mu Qingwan signaled auspiciousness and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, little girl." Seeing that Mu Qingwan was about to leave, Li Xiaoya hurriedly called out to Mu Qingwan. "I have something to say to you."

Aunt Wang was shocked, this stinky girl became more and more bold and reckless, and she was so unreasonable to her master.

Mu Qingwan felt inexplicable and turned to look at Li Xiaoya.

"Well, that, little sister, can I say a few words to you alone?" Li Xiaoya looked at Mu Qingwan with blank eyes.

"Miss." Aunt Wang was afraid that something would go wrong, and looked at Mu Qingwan with a nervous expression.

"It's okay, auspicious, you guys retreat first." Mu Qingwan waved her hand and motioned for the others to leave.

Although the young lady is young, she has always done things in a measured manner, and Ji Xiang Ruyi did not hesitate too much, so she pulled Aunt Wang apart from a distance of twenty steps.

"What do you want to tell me?" Mu Qingwan looked at Li Xiaoya suspiciously.

"Uh, yes. Aunt Wang called you Miss, this Zhuangzi is your father, oh no, it's your father's? Li Xiaoya looked at Mu Qingwan with a curious expression, and asked in a childish tone.

Father? Hearing this, Mu Qingwan still didn't understand anything. Feelings: This is a fellow villager who has crossed over, but I don't know who this Li Xiaoya is.

The fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River was bought by Mu Qingwan at the expense of Second Uncle Wang, and it has only been two years, and it has been arranged by Second Uncle Wang to manage it so far. There are only a few stewards who know the real master. Li Xiaoya: What is the purpose of her asking about the ownership of Zhuangzi?

"Zhuangzi belongs to my uncle, and my brother and I are just here to visit relatives."

"That's right." Li Xiaoya was a little disappointed.

"Little sister, can you help me talk to your uncle? Let's just say I have an idea to make money, okay? ”

"Then why don't you say it yourself?"

"I, I'm not unfamiliar with this place." Li Xiaoya muttered a few words in a low voice.

"Little sister, you are so cute. Help your sister talk to your uncle. You just, I know there's a way to increase food production, not a little bit Oh, yes, you tell him, three or four times as much as it is now. Also, I also know the ...... vegetable greenhouse" As soon as she said it, Li Xiaoya gushed endlessly, immersed in her fantasies.

"Sister, I'm going back, it's time for my uncle to find me for dinner." Now Mu Qingwan is sure that Li Xiaoya should have just passed through not long ago, otherwise how could she not know that there was already such a thing as a vegetable greenhouse, which was proposed by Concubine De, who had crossed the senior. Mu Qingwan never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, there were many skilled craftsmen in the ancients, and modern ideas drew inferences from one another, and the idea of vegetable greenhouses was quickly applied to other aspects. As for Li Xiaoya, without understanding the environment, she is too revealing and public, and for Zhuangzi, she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, so she will dry it for a while before speaking.
