Chapter 117: Who's Afraid of Whom
Xianghua said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Zhu for your concern, Donglin is a diligent child, but he is now preparing to take the hospital exam, and he really can't spare time to do these things." ”
Wang Chaoyi and Zhu Jinxiu said in unison: "He wants to participate in the imperial examination?" ”
After the two finished speaking, they also noticed the contempt in their words, so they hurriedly found words to make up for it.
"Brother Ling is so ambitious at such a young age, which is admirable." Wang Dynasty said.
Zhu Jinxiu also said: "That's it." My brother didn't study the tendon, and he took the exam several times. ”
Xianghua said with a smile: "I don't really expect him to be famous, it's just to read more books and see the world." Even if he can't pass the exam, now his family has some inheritance for him, and he can always afford to eat. ”
Zhu Jinxiu saw that she was talking kindly, and Hengzhi was idle, so he wanted to clean up with her. She made it into fragrant flowers, and she wished Jinxiu what she couldn't do.
Xianghua persuaded: "I wish Miss good intentions, Xianghua has it." It's just that the place is really dirty, if you stain the young lady's skirt and embroidered shoes, Xianghua won't be able to go. ”
Zhu Jinxiu waved her hand, tied up the hem of her skirt, and pointed to Xianghua's shoes and said, "I just noticed the shoes you are wearing, if you give me a pair, I won't worry about these." ”
The shoes worn by Xianghua have a very high sole, and the sole is non-slip, which is to prevent the upper from being soiled when cleaning. Xianghua saw that she was determined to go, so she could only go and get a pair of clean shoes for her.
Zhu Jinxiu felt quite strange when she put it on, and turned around to look around several times.
Wang Chaoyi was tired of Zhu Jinxiu making such a self-assertion, but her face was still warm, and she said with a smile: "Chaoyi still has to serve his mother, so he can't go with the two." ”
Xianghua smiled: "After the Xianghua is cleaned, come and talk to Miss Wang again." ”
Xianghua walked in front, and Zhu Jinxiu followed behind her.
Zhu Jinyi disappeared early in the morning, and Zhu Jinxiu held some words in her stomach for a long time, feeling that she was really unhappy.
“…… into a girl. She opened her mouth and called Xianghua.
Xianghua looked back and smiled: "I wish the girl to call me Xianghua." ”
Zhu Jinxiu's face turned red, and she asked in a daze: "...... Xianghua, how did you and Zhao Xu meet? ”
The corners of Xianghua's mouth curled, it turned out that this hostility came from here, no wonder.
"General Zhao Xiao once passed by Taiping Town, chasing the wind and getting sick, I knew a little about pharmacology, so I did a favor. That's what I knew. ”
Zhu Jinxiu recognized chasing the wind, this horse was very fierce, and Zhao Xu suffered a lot for it when he was a child. Not to mention her, Chasing Wind didn't even look at her squarely.
"Chasing the wind doesn't just let people get close to you, how do you check it?"
Xianghua said with a smile: "At that time, it was uncomfortable to chase the wind, and I didn't resist much, so I just looked at it normally." ”
Zhu Jinxiu saw that she said lightly, and her heart was even more suspicious: Ordinary look? The chasing wind is a famous horse, soft and hard, before meeting Zhao Xu, he trampled to death more than a dozen "big men" of the Huns by horses' hooves. At best, it's brave and good. At worst, it is violent and ferocious.
But Xianghua didn't stop at this. She asked Zhu Jinxiu to wait in place for a while, and she went down first to let the quails change places.
Before Zhu Jinxiu could understand what she meant, she saw Xianghua go down into a low bush, chirp a few times, and a quail jumped up from the grass and pounced on her.
Xianghua laughed, caught the quail, and slowly walked to the other side.
When Xianghua walked out of the bushes, Zhu Jinxiu saw a large group of quails behind her, as well-behaved as a hen with a chick.
Xianghua led the quails to another place not far away, and then beckoned to Zhu Jinxiu; "Miss Zhu, you can come down!"
Zhu Jinxiu was stunned, and followed in response.
"Quails actually love to be clean, but the weather is getting warmer, so you still have to clean them, and it's not good if you get sick."
Xianghua said as she used a broom and a shovel to quickly clean up.
Zhu Jinxiu stared at the little bits, pieces of mottled bird feces-like things on the ground, and only felt a tumbling in her stomach.
She boasted that she had seen a lot of the world with her father, far more than those official ladies in the capital, and she still felt unbearable when she saw these things and smelled them.
Xianghua noticed that she was very uncomfortable, so she said, "Miss Zhu is tired, let's go to the side to rest first, or it won't be long before." ”
As soon as Zhu Jinxiu heard this, her body consciously wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, this Chengxianghua was laughing at her, right?
She made fragrant flowers, and she wished the splendid beauty to be no worse!
"I'm not tired! Isn't it just cleaning bird droppings? Who is afraid! ”
Zhu Jinxiu said, pulled down the headscarf to cover her mouth and nose with a face towel, endured her nausea, and began to clean it up seriously.
It's just a strong one.
Xianghua smiled and shook her head, and let her go.
After cleaning, Xianghua was calm, but Zhu Jinxiu was sweating profusely.
Xianghua wiped her sweat with a handkerchief: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Zhu Jinxiu was not polite, wiped off his sweat, looked at those bird droppings from a distance and asked, "Where did I throw this thing?" ”
Xianghua smiled: "Did Miss Zhu see the pepper field in the village?" ”
Zhu Jinxiu nodded and said, "I've eaten hot pot many times in Xiangmanlou." ”
Xianghua smiled a little maliciously, "Then Miss Zhu knows about fertilizer?" ”
Zhu Jinxiu didn't know anything about agriculture, so he naturally shook his head.
Xianghua said slowly: "The chili peppers in Qingshan Village naturally grow well, but if you want to bear fruit better, you need to use fertilizer." This guano is one of the best of them. ”
Zhu Jinxiu listened dumbfounded, and the facial features on her face were all displaced, and they were all squeezed together.
She resisted her disgust and asked in disbelief, "You mean, that's where the pepper comes from...... Growing out of something? ”
Xianghua couldn't help but smile and said: "Peppers naturally grow from pepper seeds, and the rest is just 'icing on the cake'." ”
Zhu Jinxiu made a retching expression.
Xianghua saw that she was a straight intestine, and felt that she and Zhao Xu were a good match, so she deliberately teased her again: "Miss Zhu, this is nothing, you don't know where those eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs, and eggs came from?" ”
Zhu Jinxiu has never raised chickens, ducks and quails at home, so naturally he doesn't know where these eggs come from.
Xianghua cleared her throat and said in a mysterious way: "These eggs are all from the **." ”
After she finished speaking, she stopped making a sound, waiting for the eldest lady of the Zhu family to slowly digest the news.
After listening to Zhu Jinxiu, sure enough, half of the blood on her face disappeared, and she covered her mouth and ran away.
Xianghua smiled in the back.
During lunch, Wang Chaoyi and Zhu Jinyi both noticed that Zhu Jinxiu was a little strange.
I wish Jinxiu Su Ri a big grin, a good appetite, and she is not taboo or picky about food and clothing, but now for some reason, she looks at the table full of good dishes and doesn't even move her chopsticks.
