467 The duck is out of luck

Ling Xiaorou shook her head and smiled, these simple boys, don't look at or speak, they are all ghosts in their hearts, you know that she is soft-hearted.

There is also a large half bucket of broken ice in the wooden barrel next to it, which can't be melted by wrapping it in a quilt for a while, so the maid also got an ice bowl and handed it to the guards, she can't eat it, watching others eat it is naturally greedy, especially smelling the fresh smell of watermelon, Ling Xiaorou looked at it with a blank eye, but she was thinking in her heart: Anyway, I can't eat ice now, and I won't tell you how delicious the popsicles are, when will she be out of confinement, she will have to make the popsicles, at least make some cream ice bricks to enjoy.

But when she thought that it would be a cold winter moon after she finished her confinement, Ling Xiaorou was depressed, that day, although it was easy to make ice, could she still eat? Do you really want to sit by the fireside and eat around the quilt?

After eating the ice bowl, He Louyu couldn't stop admiring the fun of the water gun, when he returned to the city, he decided to bring a few, and if he had nothing to do, he would find someone to practice in the yamen of the office, as long as there were a few jars of water in the yard, this thing would definitely not be worse than playing in the river.

I heard that there was a playground built in Jicheng, there are a lot of people every day, and the water gun sells quite well there, Qu Hongze bragged to him when he was in the capital, and even moved the idea of building a playground in the capital several times, but unfortunately the idea has always been an idea, and it has not been realized for various reasons.

If he also builds that kind of playground in Weicheng Mansion, he will have a place to play, eat and drink, and have to play, so that a small day can be called beautiful, so as not to be unfinished all day long.

It's just that Weicheng Mansion hasn't been built yet, and there is still dust everywhere, and even after the playground is built, not many people are willing to eat dust outside, but you can prepare the things in the playground first, and when the Weicheng Mansion is built, you can set up a place to load the things. Before you install it, you can also put it in the yard and play by yourself.

The more he thought about it, the more this truth became, He Louyu grinded Ling Xiaorou to draw him some amusement facilities, he had never seen it with his own eyes, although Qu Hongze told him very carefully at the beginning, but he still couldn't imagine it.

As soon as he heard that He Louyu wanted to find something to do for his daughter-in-law, He Louyuan's eyes immediately widened, and even the old lady blamed He Louyu for being ignorant, "I didn't see that your sister-in-law was holding her stomach, it was hard enough, and you still found something for her to do?" If you want me to say that Weicheng Mansion can't be built for a while, what's the hurry? Wait until your sister-in-law is done! ”

In a word, He Louyu's next words were blocked, and He Louyu couldn't either, now in Ningyuan Palace, no one has Ling Xiaorou's baby, and he really tired his sister-in-law, and everyone in the house has to be anxious with him.

Don't draw the picture down, make things, He Louyu is just unwilling, and finally think about it, my sister-in-law's painting is also general, isn't there a good painting in the palace now? Feng Wu is well-informed, maybe he will be able to draw it according to the way Qu Hongze described it to him.

After Feng Wu draws it, he will show it to his sister-in-law, and then he will only look at it a few times to give his opinion and talk about his opinion, but the eldest brother and his mother can't say anything about him, right?

After making up his mind, He Louyu couldn't stay in Zhuangzi, he was going to take the guards back to the city together, but he didn't want the guards to stay for dinner, stay for another night, and then go back to the city.

Seeing that he was surrounded by a crowd, and when he went back, he was left alone, He Louyu couldn't help but sigh that the world was hot and cold, and these people forgot what brotherhood was for a few bites.

But no matter how he sighed, no one paid attention to him, and in the end, He Louyu led the horse out of the village by himself, leaving everyone with a lonely back.

"Second Master, where are you going? Didn't even eat lunch in a hurry? Some of the dumbfounded guards couldn't help but ask.

"Still don't understand? Didn't you just ask the princess to draw an amusement map? Eighty percent went back to the city to find someone to draw. The clever guard replied as he ate.

"Find someone to draw...... Hey! It was the shrewd-looking guard who elongated the tone, and the other guards were stunned for a moment before letting out a slightly obscene laugh.

The old lady cleared her throat beside her, "I said, you have nothing to do?" If you have nothing to do, you will go to slaughter sheep in the afternoon and drink sheep soup in the evening. ”

The guards' faces changed greatly when they heard this, "Concubine, for the sake of us, we didn't let you spray for a long time, can you not drink mutton soup?" If you don't like it, we'll go down to the river and let you spray it to your heart's content, as long as you don't drink mutton soup at night. ”

Although the mutton soup is delicious, during the war with Xiyi, the most drunk is the mutton soup, and no matter how delicious it is, there are times when you are tired of eating. They want to eat seafood, they have to eat all kinds of delicate food, so they don't drink mutton soup.

The old lady pursed her lips with a smile, "Don't want to drink mutton soup?" This is not easy to do, there are many sheep on the Zhuangzi, or you go down to the river to catch fish, and eat fish at night when you have caught enough. ”

The guards thought about it, although eating fish was not the purpose of their visit, but fish was more acceptable than mutton soup, and the old lady had always loved to tease them, in fact, it was to tease them when they drank mutton soup or ate fish.

Well, in order to amuse the old lady, they went to catch fish, and with their skills, even jumping into the river to catch fish is no more busy than others catching fish with nets.

"Concubine, just wait to eat fish, we are very good at catching fish." So, the guards, who had managed to dry themselves a little more, jumped into the river again.

Most of the people waiting in the Zhuangzi were young maids, and there were princesses, and the guards did not dare to take off their clothes when they went down to the river, but fortunately, the clothes were light and thin in summer, and even if they were wet, they would easily dry out, and they would not be too heavy to wear because of the water absorption of the clothes.

After the guards go into the water, the eyes are staring at the river and the strength is up, from time to time there is a fish swimming by, can cause a loud shout, for a while the lotus in the river can be unlucky, often encounter a big fish and rush up several guards to chase and intercept it, the big fish breaks through the encirclement and hides under the lotus leaf, the guards flutter and immediately fill the river with pink lotus leaves, even the stems and leaves of the lotus flower are broken a lot.

The corners of Ling Xiaorou's eyes twitched, are they catching fish, or are they destroying lotus flowers? Let them toss it again, and they don't have to wait for the weather to be cold, this is already ruined, okay? In the future, she doesn't have much expectation for Zhuangzi, there are no good-looking lotus flowers in the river, not only do you not have to see it, but her lotus petals can't be sunburned.

The old lady probably thought of Ling Xiaorou together, and shouted to the guards in the river: "Ouch, monkey cubs, what are you trying to catch fish, you are simply going to demolish the fields, where are these lotus flowers that make you look unpleasant?" Come on, you don't need to catch fish, can't you? ”

The guards are catching fish happily, the old lady shouted three times before they heard, looking back at the mess of lotus flowers destroyed by them, there is really no good lotus flower in the place they passed, one by one is also embarrassed, they are really just a moment of forgetfulness, not to see the lotus unpleasant, but listen to the old lady has said so, they are not good to stay in the river anymore, it is idle and fine, and the second master came to relax, the main purpose is to eat delicious, if they come to the river like a locust crossing, can the prince still let them come in the future?

When he went ashore, he also smirked with the old lady and Ling Xiaorou, was nagged by the old lady for a few words, and was trained by He Louyuan for a few words, and then he was driven aside to pick up duck eggs.

The ducks in the Zhuangzi have the old ducks left in previous years, and there are also the new ducklings added this year, raising these days, the ducklings also began to lay eggs, in this kind of hot time, the duck eggs should be picked up quickly after laying, otherwise they will be left outside for a long time, it is easy to spoil, even if it is not bad, the pickled duck eggs are easy to mix yellow.

But this duck is not like a chicken, to lay eggs to find a familiar nest, ducks lay a lot of eggs outside, especially this kind of ducks that are placed by the river every day, only closed back to the nest in the morning and evening, it needs someone to often go to the river to find eggs, find it and send it back quickly, make pickled eggs or preserved eggs.

There are special people walking eggs by the river every day in Zhuangzi, but no matter how diligent the walk is, it is inevitable that there will be misses, even if the guards have nothing to do, let them pick up the eggs, so as not to let them get carried away and destroy the lotus flowers of the river.

The guards have no opinion, in the past, in the barracks did not raise ducks, the job of picking up eggs is a good job, they have not less secretly to pick up eggs, and then bury them in the soil, regenerate the fire on it, roast the duck eggs and eat, and when the soldiers who raise ducks come to look for them, even the duck egg skin they have buried.

In addition to the strange duck eggs are a lot less, I don't know how there are few, thinking of such days, the guards suddenly miss it very much, but it's a pity that they came to Weicheng Mansion, the little soldier who raised ducks can't look at it anymore, they actually like to tease him, and watch him say in a puzzled voice how the duck eggs are less and something like that.

Since the old lady asked them to pick up duck eggs, of course they couldn't be disobedient, so they all rushed to the riverside grass with bright eyes, and with past experience, there would never be less duck eggs there.

Looking at their happy backs, He Louyuan felt that today's ducks were going to be unlucky, and the duck eggs would definitely not be picked up, but the duck eggs were not worth a few dollars.

Given their interest in duck eggs, they may be able to save on their afternoon meal, but if their interest is higher, they can also reduce their evening meal.

He Louyuan was here thinking about how much food these guards could save, but Ling Xiaorou pulled the corner of his clothes, "I drank two bowls of porridge in the morning, and I didn't eat a few shrimp dumplings." ”

He Louyuan was thinking about things, and when he heard the 'ah' sound, he didn't seem to understand Ling Xiaorou's subtext, and his eyes were as dazed as he was, Ling Xiaorou pouted and was unhappy, "What are you looking at?" I said, "I'm hungry!" ”

He Louyuan then understood, and before he could speak, the old lady heard that her daughter-in-law was hungry, which was something that could not wait, so she ordered someone to go to the kitchen and hurry up and say, the afternoon meal was a little earlier, and the princess would take a few pastries here to cushion the bottom.
