On the summer solstice, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the crops in the fields are scorching with leaves.

There are more children swimming and playing in the water in Huaxi, and Yu'er and Dafu are soaking in the water area designated by adults and are reluctant to come out, enjoying it very much.

Lan Yi remembers the fun of swimming in summer, and she is not very restrictive to him. The baby was very envious of his brother playing in the water every day, and he was noisy to follow, but then Lan Yi couldn't, so he had to roll out the bath bucket at home and put it under the big locust tree, and let him sit in it for a while every day, and put some small toys in the water to play with him, which was also coaxing.

Yu'er saw that her brother always had to follow, and then she simply accompanied her brother to soak in water at home, and her mother would put some honeysuckle in the water, which was fragrant. Honeysuckle not only smells good, but also can dispel dampness and stop prickly heat, so a family baths with honeysuckle, Lan Yi spring transplanted from the mountains honeysuckle has been along the Lan Yi family courtyard wall climbed, clusters of early bloom such as silver, after blooming and turned into golden flowers, is worthy of the name of 'honeysuckle'. And this flower is fragrant and transparent, thick but not greasy, Lan Yi even added some to the pillow where the three of them slept together, so that they could fall asleep with the fragrance.

In the scorching summer, listening to the cicadas, sitting under the grape trellis and smelling the fragrance of flowers, and tasting a cup of cool mung bean paste is a very comfortable thing. Not only Lan Yi's family, but also the Chen family, the Liu family and others, and even Lei Tianze's master and servant often come to the door to feel it.

Since Lei Tianze and Lan Yi recognized their relatives, there has been a lot less gossip in the village. When Yixue is not in class, he will also go to Lan Yi's hillside to help weed and pick leaves for peonies, help Lan Yi feed the ducks, and experience the fun of farming.

"Third brother, don't you have classes in Yixue, why are you free every day?" On this day, Lei Tianze took Qianmo to Lan Yi's house to sit and drink tea, and Lan Yi asked curiously.

Lei Tianze drank a cup of mung bean paste, shook the paper fan lightly and said: "Yixue is closed for ten days, and I only teach for one and a half hours every morning, so I still have plenty of time." ”

It is a pleasure to be friends with books and students every day. Before she crossed over, Lan Yi originally planned to find an ordinary university to become a teacher after graduating from graduate school and live such a leisurely life.

Lei Tianze saw Lan Yi's eyes far away, and fell into memories again, he couldn't help but laugh, after getting along for a long time, he knew that this girl was also confused, and when he felt emotional, he would ignore the things around him and immerse himself in his thoughts.

"Third brother, what is this?" Lan Yi came back to her senses and saw Qianmo holding a potted plant, which looked like bluegrass.

Lei Tianze showed a big smile: "This is what I found when I went into the mountains with Zhao Huajiang to look for grass a few days ago, this orchid grass is unique, the fourth sister should keep it." ”

Lan Yi remembered that more than a year ago on the top of the Yellow Mountain, she fell down and crossed over because of a clump of bluegrass, and she was not interested in looking at this bluegrass.

"Third brother, are you and Uncle Zhao in the mountains again? Now it's rainy, the grass is high and the forest is dense, so you better be careful. ”

Qianmo finally seized the opportunity to speak: "Childe is worried every time he enters the mountain, Qianmo is scared, fourth girl, you have to persuade well, if you go back and let the old lady know, you have to peel off Qianmo's skin." ”

Lei Tianze shook the paper fan indifferently, pretending not to see his complaining expression.

Lan Yi smiled: "Wei Yingwu once wrote "Chuzhou West Stream" cloud: 'Lonely grass and grass are growing on the edge of the stream, and there are yellow orioles singing in the deep trees. The spring tide brings rain and comes in a hurry, and the wild ferry is unmanned and self-controlled. The little sister thinks this sentence is very good, I don't know what the third brother thinks? ”

Seeing that Lan Yi ignored him, Qianmo actually said poetry, and complained even more, and one person picked up the mung bean paste and drank it dejectedly. Lei Tianze said with great interest: "Wei Yingwu is a genius, this poem is a combination of movement and static, and it is like a wild language at your fingertips, but it seems to have a few unfinished meanings, and I love it for my brother." ”

Lan Yi nodded: "Third brother, if the grass on the edge of this stream is dug up, and only the bare cliffs are left, is there still beauty?" ”

Lei Tianze was stunned for a moment, and shook his head after careful thought: "The grass by the stream is endless, every year, how can it be exhausted." ”

How will it not be exhausted! A thousand years later, the depths of the Qinling Mountains, which are rich in blue grass, are full of devastation, and the extinction of precious species is accelerating, which makes many people worry and regret!

"Third brother, if you are a bluegrass, do you want to stay in the deep mountains and wild streams and be neighbors with hundreds of birds, or do you want to be dug out of the house and enter the house and be with Jin Yu?"

Lei Tianze frowned and thought, he naturally didn't want to 'enter the house', looking for herbs in the mountains is a graceful affair, how could he listen to the fourth sister, and he lost his taste.

"Fourth sister, what do you mean?"

Lan Yi smiled, looked at the words written by Wang Linshan on the wall of her shadow wall, and said softly: "The grass at the end of the world has its own heart, why ask for a beauty." Third brother, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to let it grow naturally in the mountains and forests? ”

Lei Tianze was clear and said with a smile: "The fourth sister is reasonable, if you are not the reincarnation of the flower essence, why do you cherish flowers and plants so much?" ”

The corners of Lan Yi's mouth twitched, this is the environmental protection and sustainable development that everyone knows in modern times!

Lei Tianze laughed, since he became acquainted with Lan Yi, he gradually revealed his free and easy nature. "Fourth sister, the third brother understands what you mean, and in the future, it will be like a deep mountain, and you will only be rewarded."

Qianmo pouted and muttered, "Then what are you going to do, it's better not to go!" "The more he listens, the more confused he becomes, is the fourth girl helping him persuade his son, right? Right? No way?

"By the way, Fourth Sister, the reputation of this 'Qingshan Ke' is getting higher and higher, and several masters in Yixue and people who know each other in the county are asking me who Qingshan Ke is. I don't know if I know for my brother, where are they willing to believe it! ”

Lei Tianze helped Lan Yi to sort out and comment on the peony poems in a book, which has been widely known, and she wrote Qingshan Ke herself, but she thanked Lei Tianze several times in the prophecy. No one knows about Qingshanke, but Lei Tianze is alive here, everyone naturally asked him, Lei Tianze said that he didn't know Qingshanke, which one would believe it!

Lan Yi smiled slyly, now that the weather is hot, everyone is bored in the summer, "Peony Poetry Book" provides everyone with chat information, and everyone's interest has been aroused.

In another month, this year's peony seeds should also be ripe. Now the peony flower banquet has gradually become famous in various places, there is an endless stream of people who hunt for curiosity and taste, the restaurants have earned enough silver, and the price of peony seed oil has also risen from 100 wen per catty to one or two silver, and it looks like it is still rising.

Fortunately, according to their agreements with various restaurants, the price of peony seed oil cannot be announced to the public, so this price did not cause much sensation.

The price of the peony flower banquet is expensive, and the peony seed oil, which is one of the selling points, cannot go unnoticed even if the price does not burst. However, the purple spots and Fengdan peony seeds in various places have been ordered at a low price, and other flower farms are either to raise peonies to take roots, or to let peony plants recuperate, most of the peonies are cut after flowering, and there are not many peony seeds.

At the beginning, Lan Yi was afraid that the price increase of peony seed oil would invalidate many peony seed purchase contracts signed at the beginning of the year, and flower farmers took the opportunity to raise prices or sell peony seeds privately.

Fortunately, Xia Chongxiao and Xia Shunnai are people who have been in the mall for a long time, and they have expected this problem, and when they signed the agreement, they not only signed the price with the flower farmers, but also signed about two catties of peony seeds according to the peony planting area. If the flower farmer breaches the contract, the responsibility is also very large, and this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people are simple, we do not have so many crooked thoughts, pay great attention to business reputation, since the contract is signed, it will not take the initiative to violate, at most it is to take the opportunity to ask for a price increase.

The price of peony seeds has risen, and the price of peony plants has naturally risen. The peony seeds they planted last year can be transplanted in autumn, and many people have come to ask for peony seedlings, and the price is rising day by day.

Lan Yi: The three acres of peony seeds they sowed last autumn are now very valuable.

Sister-in-law Niu, Zhao Lizheng, Ba Po and the second sister-in-law and several other families set peony seedlings with Uncle Wang's family because they acted earlier, and the price was the cheapest. They now see a lot of people come to order peony seedlings, have to go to Uncle Wang's house to inquire whether to increase the price, Uncle Wang is a sincere farmer, insisting that the peony seedlings that have been ordered to the villagers are not price increases, so the first two plants sold to the villagers are still the first two plants of Wuwen, and the seedlings ordered to the outside are five yuan a plant, and then it rises to ten yuan a plant. Therefore, the peony seedlings have not yet started to sell, and they have already recovered the deposit of one hundred and fifty taels. The three families naturally got fifty taels, and Second Uncle Wang's waist hardened every day, and even his voice was much higher.

Niu sister-in-law is busy cleaning up the hillside these days, and there is a proverb: "Plant peonies in spring, and they don't bloom when they are old", so the transplanting of peonies is different from other trees, not spring but autumn, which is also one of its own characteristics.

The number of people who came to order peony seedlings increased, and the people in the village also knew that this thing was valuable, and they came to the door to ask to buy some to plant on the hillside. At this time, they learned that the slopes around the village that were suitable for planting peonies had been bought, and the peony seedlings of Second Uncle Wang's family had also been ordered.

As a result, it was rumored in the village that the peony seedlings on the eastern slope of the village were more expensive than eggs, and the children in the village thought of going up the mountain to steal two trees. Second Uncle Wang specially built a shack on the side of the peony seedlings for this purpose, guarding it day and night, and Lan Yi also had time to go around the hillside.

Not only do they have peony seedlings on the hillside, but they also have a lot of ducks in each family, which are also to prevent them from being stolen. Of the hundred ducks that Lan Yi kept on the hillside, except for a few that were cut open by the predators who came out of the forest and took them away, and a few that fell to their deaths, there were still ninety left, and they were already half old and should be able to lay eggs in two months. Yu'er is very concerned about ducks, because his mother said that ducks lay eggs and sell them for money, they keep them to buy him paper and pens to go to school, and he often runs to the mountains to count the number of ducks, and when he sees the children in the village outside probing and shrinking their heads, they stare with wide eyes and stare hard.

Liu's mouth is ruthless, every day when he sees a child wandering around the hillside, he scolds a few words, and then he actually brought a big dog from his mother's house and tied it to the edge of the shack.

"Sister-in-law, these are really annoying, I knew that we would circle the peony seedlings so that everyone can't see them!" After feeding the ducks, Liu ran to Lan Yi and muttered that she and Chen also raised a hundred ducks by themselves, and they were busy feeding them every day.

Chen glanced at her: "You are all fools when you are everyone, and you circle it even more to make people want to see it." ”

Liu thought about it, how could this money-making thing be hidden from others.

"Sister-in-law, you said that the peony seeds were harvested this year, shall we still sow some?" Chen asked, Lan Yi has now become the backbone of the two families, and everyone has to ask her opinion.

Lan Yi nodded: "There will be many peony seedlings sown this year, and next year's peony seedlings will not sell at this year's price, but they will definitely not worry about sales." Our hillside this year is full, I'm afraid there is no place, you go back to discuss, if you want to plant, plant a few acres on the slope, planting is not a partner, it is your own. ”

Chen and Liu glanced at each other, and both saw the affirmation, so they smiled and nodded to Lan Yi. Liu took the opportunity to say: "My mother's family also ordered 500 peony seedlings to plant, and the second sister-in-law's family also planted a few acres. ”

When life is good, I want to pull my mother's family, which is also common sense. Although Huajia Village is not Lan Yi's maiden home, it is also Wang Linshan's grandmother's family, and the relationship is not too far.

"During the Dragon Boat Festival, the old lady of Huajia Village came to give a gift, and I told them at the time that if they planted it, they would come and order. But they haven't come yet, so I don't think they can plant it. Lan Yi thought about what she said about planting peony seedlings at that time, and Wang Linshan's little cousin didn't agree.

Chen interjected: "People are different from us, the Hua family runs merchant ships, maybe people don't look down on our little money." ”

Lan Yi nodded, looking at the mountains full of peony seedlings and babbling ducks, it is indeed not easy to earn this money, if the Hua family merchant ships can make money, they naturally don't want to suffer this hardship in the field.

"I don't know where this Zhao San went, he hasn't come back for half a year." Liu thought of Zhao Zhongxuan, who went out with the Hua family, and sighed, but then smiled again, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, let's go around the city next episode and buy a few pieces of fabric for the children to make winter clothes?" ”

With the silver in her hand, she naturally didn't want to wronged her Niuniu. The Chen family also had some intentions, a few days ago, they were given fifty taels of silver, and Second Uncle Wang gave the two sons twenty-three taels each, and they were quite rich. What's more, seeing that the peony seedlings are about to make a move, it is only a matter of time before they get the silver.

"It's okay, I just made an appointment with everyone to talk about things a few days ago, and I happened to go over together, and then we went to the oil mill to have a look." Lan Yi remembered that she had asked Xiao Qi to talk about business.

Liu and Chen were even more excited when they heard this, they hadn't been there since the oil mill opened.

"Sister-in-law, since you are free. Let Lin Xi put on the ox cart, let's take the children to the ox cart together, and bring back the things we have bought. Chen smiled, "Let the children be happy too." ”

At this time, Second Uncle Wang came down from the mountain and heard that they planned to take the child to the city, and nodded happily: "Go, go." Buy some good food for the kids. The clouds are rising in the west, and I am afraid that it will not be hot tomorrow. ”

Lan Yi looked up at the northwest, and sure enough, she saw a large white cloud hanging on the mountain in the distance, and there was a great tendency for the wind to surge, she didn't know why, she looked a little flustered, and always felt that she had ignored something. R1152
