The summer heat has begun to appear, and the ladies have changed into light gauze clothes. Huangzhuang is backed by mountains and waters, surrounded by a clear clear stream, and the breeze blows, and it is cool.

Yu Xiaocao wore a neat riding short, narrow sleeves, crimson green short, and thick-soled soft boots, and commanded the tenants in the Zhuangzi with great vitality to plant fruit trees in the dug tree pits. King Yangjun was very efficient, and she got the fruit trees she wanted in two days.

There are 10 peach, pear, citrus, and apple trees, 15 apricot, plum, and persimmon trees, and more than 20 grape trees. The first year of trial planting, and it was not the right transplant season, I didn't dare to get more for her. Afraid that if she didn't live, she felt sorry for the sapling.

Most of the so-called saplings are plants that have already flowered and borne fruit, and if they are planted well, they will bear fruit the next year. I don't know where King Yangjun came from to find these fruit trees, but I'm afraid it took a lot of effort.

Each fruit tree has a large lump of soil on its roots, and the roots are well protected. After the tree is planted, the grass is responsible for the watering part. Xichun and Wutong carried the bucket and followed behind the young lady, watching her turn around from time to time to scoop water from the bucket, and then bend down to pour it at the root of the tree. Xichun said eagerly: "Miss, you can rest for a while, let the slave maid try!" ”

Yu Xiaocao handed the water scoop to her and said with a smile: "Watering is not technical, as long as each tree is watered with two scoops." I know that you feel sorry for your young lady, don't worry, if fruit trees are planted all over the mountains in the future, you will definitely ask someone to take care of and manage it, and we will not be tired. ”

Xichun said with a smile: "It's just a few scoops of water, and I'm not tired!" Miss, will you be able to eat peaches and grapes this time next year? ”

Yu Xiaocao fanned the wind towards his face with his little hand, nodded with a smile: "Yes, if you take care of it well, you may be able to mature early!" ”

"That'...... Are the peaches you sent from Higashiyama Village delicious? "Xichun also has its own foodie attributes, the last time she did a good job, the master rewarded her with a peach, and she never forgot it after that.

Yu Xiaocao said as a matter of course: "Don't worry, it must be better than that." If you don't feel at ease, at the beginning of spring next year, ask Dongshan Village to send some peach branches, and let's graft this small peach tree. Guaranteed taste can't be wrong! ”

"Grafting? Is that what you said, Miss, how to grow watermelons on pumpkin seedlings? Xichun seems to be particularly interested in this aspect.

Wutong teased her and said, "Can watermelons be produced on pumpkin seedlings?" Xichun, you don't have a fever, do you? Be careful to say it and be laughed at by others. ”

Seeing that Xichun, who was originally a second-class little maid, was more and more valued by the young lady, Wutong's heart gradually became unbalanced. It's better in front of the master, but behind her back, she is always squeezed out intentionally or unintentionally, no, it's squeezed again.

Xichun is generous, she smiled disappreciatively and said, "Sister Wutong, don't believe it!" Miss said, marry on pumpkin seedlings...... Grafting watermelon seedlings produces large and sweet watermelons, and they are not easy to get sick with insects! Miss is in charge of agricultural errands, we should learn more, listen more and watch more, and help Miss share her worries! ”

This girl is a straightforward and fast-talking, and there is no other meaning in her words, but she just advises Wutong to use more snacks when the young lady explains the matter of agriculture and mulberry, and don't just care about the one acre and three points of land in the inner house. She also had good intentions, but in Wutong's ears, as if she was sarcastically serving her master carefully, she was suddenly annoyed in her heart, and her face was pulled down. The watering action was a little bigger, and there was water on Xichun's pants and shoes.

This scene is all in Yu Xiaocao's eyes. In her opinion, where there are people, there are disputes, and as long as the maids compete for favor and power within a reasonable range, they will form a kind of healthy competition and urge each other to make progress. But she is most disgusted with people who have no ability, but they will only make a small character, say sour words, and make stumbling blocks for the other party.

The four big girls who were selected at the beginning have a sharp temperament, reliable work, and excellent ability, so she manages the stall in the pharmaceutical workshop, and she is impressive. Yang Liu is steady, obsessed with cooking, has a lot of energy, and his skills are getting better and better. is almost more than her master, and she can rest assured that she will hand over the lo-mei shop in the capital and the Taishang Emperor to this girl.

The loquat is a little wooden, the ears are soft, the ability is average, and the one acre and three points of land in the courtyard are still managed, and the outside things can't be pointed to her. Wutong has a lot of eyes, selfishness, prefers great joy, and does not have much ability. However, as long as they keep their duty, Xiaocao will not treat them badly, I am afraid that after a long time, my heart will be big......

"Such a big sun, so without a hood?" Zhu Junyang, who walked around the hill and came back with two hares, a pheasant and a few wild eggs, saw her tanned little face, and hurriedly took off the straw hat on his head and put it on Xiaocao's head.

Yu Xiaocao shook her head with some disgust, as if she wanted to shake off the slightly wide hat on her head, but was stopped by Zhu Junyang: "Wear it, be careful to burn your skin, it won't be beautiful!" These rough jobs can be taught to the tenants and subordinates, so why do everything yourself? ”

"As you said, now is not the time to grow fruit. If I don't look at it, if I die, won't I waste all these fruit trees you found for me? "Touching the hot little face, I have to calm down with Lingshi water when I go back, in case it is like what King Yangjun said, the skin on the face is tanned, how can I see people?

[No! Splash on your face with the spirit stone liquid, pounce a few more times, and wrap your face early tomorrow morning like a shelled protein, thin, white and smooth......] A careless, golden kitten came out of nowhere, grinding its claws with a fruit tree that had just been planted.

"So cute! Where did a little yellow cat come from, so small, I don't know if it's weaned? Xichun starry looked at this cute thing, and couldn't wait to bring this little thing back to raise.

Zhu Junyang bent down and carried the back of the cat's neck, and looked at the little thing that grinned at him. The fried hair looks like its owner! He put the kitten in the palm of his hand in a good mood, let it gnaw his thumb with his little milk teeth, and said to Xiaocao with a smile: "You brought the cat too?" This little thing has been raised for a few years, why is it still such a small one? Don't bring a long one? ”

Yu Xiaocao freed the little mending stone from King Yangjun's hands with both hands, gently stroked its smooth and shiny hair, and said casually: "Who knows!" When I saw it in the back mountain, it was so big, maybe it was a rare variety, right? ”

After watering the remaining fruit trees, Xichun threw down the scoop and ran over, looked at the well-behaved kitten in the master's hand, and asked curiously: "Miss, you fed this cat?" Why don't you see it come out? ”

"This little guy has a wild temperament, and often runs out for days. Don't talk about you, I haven't seen it since I came to the capital, and I thought I didn't recognize the way home! I didn't expect to see it again on Zhuangzi! Yu Xiaocao made up lies without blinking.

"Huangzhuang is quite far away from the capital, did it come by itself?" Xichun's eyes widened, staring at those dark golden vertical pupils.

Yu Xiaocao shook her head and said, "Who knows! Maybe hiding in the corner of the carriage. The little rice balls are smart! ”

Xichun stretched out his hand and said to his master: "Miss, let the slave and maid hold it, don't be tired of you!" ”

If you want to hug a cat, just say it, what do you say if you're tired or not, how much can a cat be less than the size of a palm? Yu Xiaocao glanced at her, ignoring Xiao Mending Stone's protests, and threw it into Xichun's hands.

Xichun hurriedly wrapped the struggling cat into his arms, and kept comforting: "Don't be afraid, little Tangyuan...... Miss, Xiao Tangyuan seems to be a little recognizable, so it won't scare it, right? ”

"No, the little guy is bold, he dares to provoke a wolf in the mountains!" Yu Xiaocao is right, Xiao Tianshi may have been idle and bored for a while, to provoke the big ash, and was chased by the big ash to run all over the woods.

"Wow! So powerful!! "The star eyes of Xichun are even more serious, and they suddenly become the iron loyal fans of the little mending heavenly stone. Xiao Tianshi noticed her admiration, and his heart was full of glory, and he condescended to let her hug her!

Zhu Junyang looked at the fruit trees stretching their leaves in the sun, and suddenly said, "Little girl, do you still have to use the people in Zhuangzi?" If it's not easy to use, just tell the master. The master has received the errand of supervising the Huangzhuang, and there is a thorn in the head who does not listen to the call, and we have the right to replace him! ”

Yu Xiaocao waved his hand indifferently and said, "With Wang in charge, those people want to weigh what small actions they want to make." Huangzhuang is not my alone, isn't there the emperor this Lafayette behind me? As long as the emperor keeps reusing me, others have opinions in their hearts, so they have to be honest. Entering the palace once a month to report is not a joke! Those few, at most, said some sour things behind their backs, and didn't they listen to orders honestly when they arranged tasks? ”

"Okay! As long as you don't think those guys are an eyesore, use them first! Zhu Junyang really didn't want his little girl to be wronged, and he thought in his heart, let those guys jump first, he didn't believe that he couldn't catch their pigtails. When the time comes...... Hmph, he's not a soft-handed person!

Yu Xiaocao's eyes rolled and said, "I heard that the Zhuangzi next door was bought by you?" What's the plan? ”

"What? Hit the idea on the master's head? Say, what the hell did you come up with again? Zhu Junyang grasped some of her micro-expressions very well, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, he knew that this girl wanted to toss again.

"I want to take advantage of the high temperature now to raise some watermelon seedlings and graft them with gourd vines that are resistant to diseases and insects and are cold-resistant. When the plastic film of the Ministry of Industry is produced, let's get watermelons and melons in greenhouses, and if we can get some cantaloupe seeds, it will be even more beautiful! "The opportunity to make money, Yu Xiaocao doesn't want to let go of it.
