Chapter Ninety-Four: The Wheat Is Ripe (Part II)

The ritual was not as complicated as I had imagined, and at first the two gods who were more exaggerated than I was dressed up and dancing in a gurgling manner, which was not aesthetically appealing. Then I worshipped left and right with the puppet controlled by the housekeeper, with the pious atmosphere of the farmer, and had to call one or two sounds, and finally ended with the fire of a pile of straw last year, and took the sickle to symbolically cut off a bunch of wheat ears in the direction selected by the gods, and the farmers rushed into the wheat field to harvest wheat with full of energy, and my debut performance was successfully completed!

It is really an interesting era, the country that worships Taoism as the state religion, but the temples are overhauled, the people are full of various sacrificial customs, and the gods and Buddhas from all walks of life gather in a harmonious atmosphere, and they never conflict with each other. In the distance, there were still thunderstorms, like the sound of drums on the battlefield, inspiring the fighting spirit of the wheat harvesting army.

As the ears of wheat fell, the men slowly moved forward, the women loaded the piles of ears of wheat in the field onto ox carts and horse-drawn carts, and transported them to the wheat fields one by one, the children drove the large flocks of sparrows that came to fight the autumn wind in the fields, and several big yellow dogs were also infected by people's emotions, running back and forth for no reason, and working blindly without purpose.

I sat under a specially built temporary shed, Yingzheng laboriously untied my head, from time to time complained that the second daughter was tied too tightly, I didn't know that I felt sorry for me, and kept massaging my muscles that were strangled and deformed.

Seeing that the line was unloaded, he stretched out his arms and legs to look down the meridians, and proposed: "The field of vision here is too narrow, go and sit on the opposite slope, and see far from there." Usually the nest is at home, but now that it has come out, I will take a good look, and the delicacy of the wheat field is really good. ”

"The husband is just at home, but the concubine comes to see it every day, there is a good place on the slope, the concubine takes the husband over, and you can see Nanshan." Ying called a maid over and told her to bring tea and wait for her.

"Let's just go over and bring some maids." I waved my hand away and pulled Ying straight to the opposite hill.

"Quickly let go," Ying pulled out her hand with a red face, "There are so many people in the field, it's so ugly." The concubine led the way, walked around the point, and carefully touched the ears of wheat. ”

Surrounded by golden ears of wheat on the front and back, there is no end in sight, and the morning breeze caresses it, bringing up rolling waves of wheat, rustling and rustling. The fragrance of flowers and ears of wheat are intertwined in the morning breeze, and the butterflies around them are fluttering and chasing each other, looking for the source of flowers; There was also a vole that looked out for his bad companion and looked around in the distance with his body slippery.

Ying leaned over and picked up a lump of dirt and threw it hard, startling away the sneaky thieves, patting the slag on her hand proudly, and continuing to move forward. I silently followed behind her, admiring the beautiful scenery of the wheat field, admiring the beautiful scenery of Ying, the noble countess, the female shopkeeper of the Wang family, the talented woman of Chang'an, a woman who was incompatible with the rural farmland, did not appear abrupt because of the luxurious costume, and completely integrated into everything around. I like the action of her throwing eggs, I can't say why, I just like it stupidly.

"This is a wheat field, you can see the rape over there when you go uphill, there may be some flowers, if you came a few days ago, it is full of yellow rape flowers, very beautiful." Ying turned around and happily introduced me, "Be careful! "Raise your hand to chase away the bees that are only trying to get close to me," Be careful, there are a lot of bees here, don't bite." Carefully under the soles of your feet, those killers (voles) have dug a lot of holes, don't break your feet. ”

"Why didn't you call me for such a beautiful look?" I stepped forward and helped her across the ditch, "Have you always been here?" ”

"There are frequent guests at home, how dare the concubine bother her husband?" Ying smiled and slapped me on the back, "Fortunately, it's in my own house, and I have to run out all day to be a concubine." ”

"Sit under the tree in front of you, this slope doesn't look angry, and it's really hard to come up." I saw that Ying's forehead was soaked with a thin layer of sweat, and her breathing became short, I was afraid that she was tired. "Just sit under the tree and see, the family never has a chance to talk to you alone."

"The princess is here during the day, and the second daughter is here in the afternoon, and there are really not many opportunities for the husband to find a concubine to talk alone." Ying carefully inspected the grass under the tree, drove away the insects in the grass, sat down carefully, and patted beside her, "There is no one here, the husband sits down next to the concubine." ”

"Yes, since I set up the kang, I have been sleeping with three people, and seeing that you didn't mean to move back to the main house, I forgot about it." I sat down with a haha, grabbed a wild flower and pinned it to Ying's hairpin, "Turn your head and let me see, the flower should be bigger." ”

Ying shrugged her hair, felt herself, took my hand and slapped it on the back of my hand, "No conscience." If you move the house, your husband won't even have a warm bed, and if you don't say anything, you can't hate it in your heart, do you dare to mention this as a concubine? ”

"Hehe," Ying said a little blushing, and could only smirk, with no choice.

"Hey, what? Don't be stupid," Ying poked my head, "Follow your husband's heart, the big kang is also comfortable to sleep on, and I have been used to it for half a year, so let's not move it first." ”

I casually asked, "Did you feel inconvenient that night?" ”

"Inconvenient?" Ying was stunned for a moment, then reacted, put her blushing face on my shoulder, pinched me up and down, and said, "Don't say anything inconvenient, which night is it inconvenient for my husband?" came all the way to bully the concubine. ”

"Don't, don't, it hurts." I was pinched and twisted, and grabbed Ying's hands hard, "I'm convenient, I'm afraid that you are inconvenient Madame, this is a big deal, we husband and wife are united, but we can't communicate." ”

"Say!" Ying was caught by the hand and blushed into my arms, trying to hide her embarrassment. buried his head in his arms before he whispered: "The second daughter doesn't have to do anything in front of me, my husband doesn't want to ask, I'm ashamed." ”

"That's good, in the future, our husband and wife will go out for a walk more, just like today. Our Zhuangzi is really not small, and the rape field over there is also ours, right? I pointed to the order side of the dirt slope.

"The rape field belongs to our family, and the woods in the distance are the Yun family." Ying pointed to a piece of green in the distance, "A few years ago, when the husband didn't touch his family, the Yun family always wanted to row the forest to his house. Now that our family is up, the Yun family no longer dares to say anything, in the spring of this year, I asked the people in Zhuangzi to plant more than ten acres of woods towards his house, which will all grow well. In a few years, when the small trees have grown up, we will cut down the trees on our side and use the new forest as the dividing line, so that we can take up some land and come back. Ying shook her head proudly, and glared at the Yun family with hatred, "Let him dare to take advantage of people's danger, the Wang family is not easy to bully!" ”

"Hehe," I like Ying's appearance the most, the small nose and small eyes are angry, and the facial features are becoming more and more refined, "You are also a dignified four-grade edict now, don't let people sue the official, it will be ugly if you can't get off the stage, it's almost enough." ”

"The husband is too worried, the concubine has her own measure, the Yun family has no background, and she doesn't have this ability." Ying raised her pointed chin and looked contemptuous, "I heard that his family's business in the south has collapsed, and the concubine is thinking about what price to use to take back the Yun family's land and expand our family's Zhuangzi." ”

"Well, Madame will take care of it, and the family will be handed over to you. As long as you don't let people say that we bully people, it's done. "In terms of shrewdness, I am not as good as Ying, and I am so relieved to put things in her hands at home, "I haven't visited my father-in-law for a long time, and I will accompany you back to your mother's house when the wheat is harvested." "I remembered that I hadn't been to my father-in-law's house for more than half a year, and I couldn't say it.

"Well, the concubine also wants to go back, I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time. This time, he went back in the official uniform of the command, and the Chen family's face was also bright. God is really good to the concubine, and if he marries such a capable husband, he doesn't know if it is a blessing from several lifetimes. Ying leaned on me happily and looked at the huge canopy above her head, "The husband is just like this tree, supported under the big sun, giving the concubine a shade." ”

Ying's words made me sigh with emotion, and my heart was churning. Husband and wife are supporting each other to go through their lives, why don't I take her as a dependence? There is no need to say anything superfluous, there is no need to say it. The wheat fields and rape fields in front of us, the flying bees, the birds in the canopy, and the busy farmers in the farmland in the distance seemed to have disappeared, leaving Ying and I, quietly, snuggling up to each other, and time stopped.
