After lunch, Yun Ting and Yun Lei helped Yun Ni send all the things home, and then the two of them also went back to the academy to study. In the afternoon, there was little homework in the school, so they came out of the school in the middle of the school and did not go home, but came directly to the field to help the eldest sister and them work.

At this time, the day is already very long, and everyone does not stop work until the middle of the unitary hour. "Okay, let's all go home, this work is not done in a day, let's take our time." Yun Xue straightened up and couldn't help but beat her hand twice. "Let's go home and eat."

In the middle of the next day, Yun Xue and the others all got up and went to the field and continued to work. It wasn't until mid-hour that Yunni had finished cooking before calling them back to eat. Yun Ting and Yun Lei went to the school after breakfast, while Yun Xue and a few continued to work in the fields.

"Eldest sister, the day after tomorrow, during the Dragon Boat Festival, you will soak the rice tonight, and I will make zongzi with you at home tomorrow." Yun Xue said before going out.

"Okay, I know, do we have to mix Jiang rice and rhubarb rice this year? Otherwise, there will be too little Jiangmi. "Jiangmi is too expensive, Yun Zhen and they bought ten catties back. After wrapping this zongzi, it has to be distributed to people who get along well, so you have to mix some rhubarb rice into it.

"Okay, you can do it, cook some soybeans in addition, dates are too expensive, Yun Zhen didn't dare to buy too much last time." Yun Xue instructed two words, and then left.

Yun Ni was at home, cleaning up inside and out, and then soaked some dirty clothes in grass and wood ash water. Just tomorrow after wrapping the zongzi, I can still take the time to wash my clothes.

Yunxia is now playing by herself, she is very honest, but she doesn't have to worry about Yunni.

The pigs in the pigsty were all humming there, and Yunni came to the pigsty with a bucket of pig food and poured the pig food into the trough. The four little pigs seemed to be hungry, and they immediately hugged each other, and all of them crowded around the trough to eat. Looking at the carefree few in front of him, he knew what to eat, and Yunni also smiled. "Eat hard, the more you eat, the faster you will grow, and in the winter, you can kill and eat meat."

After feeding the pigs, chickens and ducks, etc., they were all at the back of the house, and halfway up the mountainside there was a small area with trees alone, and there were twenty chickens, ten ducks, and ten geese. Yun Ni hurriedly mixed some corn husks and navels with chopped vegetable leaves, brought them to the back, and fed chickens, ducks and geese.

After finally finishing this, Yunni had time to take a breather. She thought that the eldest sister said that she wanted to soak Jiang rice, so she found a big wooden bucket, poured Jiang rice and five catties of rhubarb rice into it, and added water to soak it.

After all these were done, Yunni led Yunxia and sat in a shady place in the courtyard. Yunni was holding a needle and thread in her hand, sewing and mending, while Yunxia was playing with sand and wood on the side.

At noon, Yun Ni still cooked the meal, and then when the Yun Ting brothers came back, several people went to the field to deliver the meal together. Everyone was sitting on the ground and eating in a shady place, when they saw someone approaching in the distance. It was Qianru who led a few people, and I didn't know what they were here for.

"Yun Xue, these people are from the capital, and they say that they are people from the Shen family who are here to give you a festival gift." Qianru walked in front of Yun Xue and the others with people, pointed to the people behind her and said.

Yun Xue quickly stood up and looked at a few people behind Qianru, one of whom she knew, it was Shen Zhong. I haven't seen the others, they should be servants of the Shen family.

Shen Zhong came to Yun Xue and saluted, "Miss Han, the third son of my family asked us to come over and send some things for the festival to the girl." There is also a letter from Young Master Yunlin here, please take a look at Miss Han. Shen Zhong said, and took out a letter and a gift list.

Yun Xue took it, but she didn't look at the gift list, but opened the letter directly. After reading the letter, Yun Xue's heart was settled. Yunlin is all right in the capital, Zhou Wenhao and the Shen family are also safe, and if they want to come to the Shen family this time, they will definitely protect them well. "Brother Shen Zhong of labor, he came from so far away." Yun Xue thanked Shen Zhong.

"Miss Han, everything is at the door of the Han family, please go back and collect it, so let's go back to Beijing and resume our lives." Shen Zhong hurriedly said.

So, Yun Xue had a few bites, so she hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and then everyone went home together. When I came to the gate, I saw several carriages parked at the door of the Han family, two of which were flatbed carriages with things on them.

"Miss Han, the third prince knows that the price of grain here is very high now, and there is a trend of running out of food, so let us bring some more food. The third prince said, let the girl not worry, she will send food here after a while. Shen Zhong pointed to the top of the carriage and said. Indeed, almost all of their two cars are eating.

At this time of year, the new grain in the south has not come down, and there is not much grain in various places. The north is even more fatal, I heard that in some places, there is no grain to sell, and there are some merchants who hoard and do not sell at all. The grains sent were all produced by the Shen family's Zhuangzi, and they were sent over with the best quality.

Originally, Yun Xue didn't want to accept the Shen family's gift, but when she saw that it was food, Yun Xue was reluctant to return it. Now in this situation, I don't know what will happen next. In her own field, I am afraid that it will take nearly nine months to eat new grain, and there are still three or four months, Yun Xue is really worried.

This Shen Hongjun really figured out where Yun Xue's weakness was, if he sent some gold, silver and jewelry, silk and satin, Yun Xue would definitely return it. But what he sent was all these real food, how did Yun Xue refuse? So, Yun Xue could only accept it.

"Trouble a few people, let's move all these things into the warehouse." Yun Xue said helplessly.

So, Shen Zhong asked these people to move all the food in the car into the warehouse, leaving a little cloth and other items, so naturally let Yun Zhen and them move into the house.

"Miss Han, since the things have been delivered, the little ones are not delayed here, so let's return to the capital. I don't know, Miss Han has a letter to give to Young Master Yunlin. As soon as Shen Zhong saw that the things and clouds and snow had been accepted, he was about to go back.

Yun Xue thought for a while and said, "You go back and tell Yun Lin that he can do his filial piety in front of his parents." We're all right, so he doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Shen Zhong nodded, and led people to drive the carriage away.

When Shen Zhong and the others were all gone, Yun Zhen said happily, "Eldest sister, it's okay now, let's not worry about running out of food." I just took a look, and Third Brother Shen is really careful, only a small part of the food he asked people to send can be eaten directly after grinding. The rest is wheat and rice, so that it is shelf-stable, and when you want to eat it, you can grind it out directly, and the taste is good. Third Brother Shen is really a caring person. ”

Yun Xue was also a little moved in her heart, but she didn't expect Shen Hongjun to be cold on weekdays, and he looked so difficult to approach, but his mind was so delicate. I owe this favor, and I really don't know how to pay it back in the future. "Alright, let's get back to working in the fields. If you don't want to go hungry, you still have to get the ground waiter right. Yun Xue smiled, and led Yun Zhen and Tianfu to work in the field.

On the morning of the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, Yun Xue did not work in the field, but made zongzi with Yun Ni at home. The two sisters moved very quickly, and the fifteen catties of rice dumplings were wrapped in more than an hour.

"I'll cook it after dinner, and I'll eat the dumplings early tomorrow morning." Yun Xue wrapped the last one, and then smiled.

"Well, that's a lot easier. No need to cook tomorrow morning. Yunni also smiled. Eldest sister, don't go to work in the fields yet, accompany me to the river to wash my clothes. I'm alone, and I have to look at the clouds, which is inconvenient. "The clothes have already been soaked, and they have to be taken to the river to be beaten and rinsed again.

"Okay, then I'll go do the laundry with you. Let's go, I'll hold the big basin, and you lead the clouds. The three sisters went out, locked the gate, and went to the river to wash their clothes together.

There are quite a few women washing clothes by the river, and the three sisters have found a good place. Yun Xue took out her clothes and beat them hard. Yunni was afraid that her little sister would fall into the water, so she led her to stay on the shore, and Yunni caught a few small fish for Yunxia to play with.

"Hey, have you heard? That jade peach of the old Han family, I gave birth to a son a few days ago. A woman said in a loud voice.

"She got married in August last year, and it's only May, why did she give birth? The days are not right, huh? Someone on the side asked.

"A relative of my family is in the county town, and she is a midwife, and when I heard her say, it seems that she was born in less than a month. The child was born like a kitten, and he didn't even cry loudly. Also, I heard that the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Zhou family took the child away as soon as she was born. Then Yu Tao couldn't cry, so she had to let Young Master Zhou take her back. But Young Master Zhou really didn't beat the young grandmother, and the child became the son of the young grandmother. The woman who spoke at first told some more shocking news.

"This is what happens when you are a concubine, what can you do if you give birth to a son? Although the main room of the family can't be born, but the concubine is born, she can take it away and raise it, which is justifiable. Raised in the name of the main room, it can be regarded as a young master, which is much better than having a mother who is a concubine. The women were talking.

A woman looked up and happened to see Yun Xue, and immediately said with a smile on her face, "It's still our Yun Xue who is smart, but we don't want to be concubines." It doesn't matter if he is the son of the magistrate or the son of an adult, we just ignore it. Although this is true, there is something else in the tone of this speech.

"That's right, our Yunxue is not an ordinary girl, isn't it?" Others chimed in.
