Chapter 5 Water Carrying Competition

Zhao Yingluo squatted down and began to pull the soil, sure enough! The surface layer of the soil has basically run out of water, and if you don't water it, the yield will inevitably be reduced.

But in this era, how can there be a well pump? The only water wheel that could be used was also damaged by the war.

"Feng Jing, you go back to your house immediately and buy a batch of buckets and flat poles. Jiang Laosi, you immediately notify the peasant households to prepare to carry water to irrigate the land, and as long as the family is over 16 years old and under 60 years old, regardless of men, women, and children, all must be dispatched. ”

After receiving the instructions of the master's family, Jiang Laosi hurriedly organized these farmers to start carrying water to save themselves.

In the beginning, the farmers were not very motivated.

One is that they are accustomed to relying on the weather to harvest, and if the wind and rain are good, they will harvest more, and in disaster years, they will harvest less.

Second, after being ridiculed, they were still skeptical about the harvest of this new crop, which discouraged many of them.

When the buckets were transported to the ground in batches, Zhao Yingluo was the first to pick up the buckets and hook the buckets to get up.

Chun Tao and Luluo saw that their girl actually wanted to carry water herself, and they couldn't believe it, how could there be a reason for the daughter of a rich family to go to the ground to carry water and work from ancient times to the present?

"Girl, how did your precious body do such physical work? If you are tired, how can you teach the slave and maid to explain to the lord? ”

Zhao Yingluo was about to answer, when she saw a few people in the distance coming towards the field, and the one who was being carried was the daughter of Lu Fu, Lu Yao.

In order to make his girl lose her temper and know that food is not easy to come by, Lu Haowen ordered her to come to the Grange to do farm work for a day under Zhao Yingluo.

Although Lu Yao was unhappy in every way, she couldn't resist her father after all.

On a June day, the sun was shining, and although there were two maids around her who fanned her hard, the sweat was still unbearable.

Lu Yao, who was sitting on a rattan chair, wiped the sweat from her forehead and complained, "If it weren't for that Wanshu slandering in front of Daddy, how could Daddy bear to let me come to this pickled place." ”

Guizhi, the maid who followed the rattan chair, fanned the flames and said, "That's it, coming out to work in such a hot day won't it cost people's lives." ”

Lu Yao felt even more uncomfortable after hearing this, her father inexplicably favored this cousin, but she still had to learn what to farm from her.

Isn't that what inferior people do?

She was not arranging Zhao Yingluo, and as soon as she looked up, she saw the opponent not far away.

Seeing that she was wearing coarse cloth indigo clothes, her feet were covered with mud and weeds, and her hair was soaked with sweat, Lu Yao sneered and said, "The life of a maid with a daughter's body, can't you be a good master in the mansion?" If you have to mess with this inferior person, you will simply lose the face of our house. ”

Her words aroused the anger of the public, but after all, the other party was the sovereign's girl, and she dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Zhao Yingluo didn't want to restrain her too much, but her daughter's remarks successfully stirred Zhao Yingluo's nerves.

I saw her put the flat shoulder down and put her hands crossed in front of her chest, "Inferior? What my sister wears on her body, what she wears on weekdays, which one is not provided by them? Without them, you would have starved to death. ”

"They are your food and clothing parents, since my sister said that they are inferior, then aren't you even inferior to inferior?"

"They can support themselves by their own labor, but what about you? You only know that lying on top of them and sucking blood, what qualifications do you have to say that they are inferior? ”

"You...... You ......" Lu Yao's face was flushed by Zhao Yingluo's spray, and she couldn't say a word.

"What are you? Put up a stinky shelf every day and think you are superior, where is the height? Neither can you assist the eldest lady in managing family affairs, nor can you worry about state affairs for your uncle, you have an empty skin without a trace of intelligence, you have simply lost the face of the Lu Mansion. ”

Lu Yao couldn't argue with her, and said a little angrily, "You actually ...... You humiliated me so much, I went to tell my mother to expel you from the Lu Mansion. ”

Zhao Yingluo sneered, leaned over and stared at her closely, and said, "If the eldest lady really has this power, why don't you stop your uncle from leaving you in my care?" But don't worry, sister, I will definitely take good care of you according to my uncle's instructions. ”

Lu Yao panicked......

She knows very well in her heart that her weight in her father's heart is far less than that of this cousin who suddenly appeared.

When the farmers saw that Zhao Yingluo had taken a good breath for them, their hearts were full of joy, but due to the difference in identity, they still had a frightened expression.

The innate sense of self-inferiority cannot be changed much because of Zhao Yingluo's words.

"Jiang Laosi, go find a small pair of flat shoulders and buckets for her, so that she can have a good experience of life."

Jiang Laosi then found a pair of buckets and flat poles that were smaller and put them in front of Lu Yao.

Zhao Yingluo picked up a bucket that was twice as big as Lu Yao, and said to her, "Pick up your bucket, start from here, go to the Bianhe River to fetch two buckets of water and pick it to the field, as long as your speed is faster than mine, the experience will end here." ”

Lu Yao is very resistant! How could she have done the work of an inferior person?

In order to show his loyalty, Gui Zhi stood up to relieve his master, "Miss Wanqing, aren't you embarrassing my girl?" How could her body and bones jump this heavy bucket? ”

Zhao Yingluo raised her eyebrows, and her cold eyes revealed an irrefutable majesty, "Here is your share of speaking?" ”

Guizhi was instantly timid.

Lu Yao bit her lip, and after looking at the size of the buckets on both sides with her two eyes, she suddenly felt a little more confident in her heart.

Isn't it just two buckets of water? This girl doesn't believe that she can't compare to you!

Then, she was very unwilling to learn from Zhao Yingluo, hooked the hook to the bucket, and swayed it and picked it up.

When the farmers saw that the two daughters of the lord's family were actually doing farm work, they all put down the work in their hands and waited to see a good show.

However, whether Zhao Yingluo can compare to Lu Yao, they actually have a negative attitude in their hearts.

First, how could they, who grew up in rich and noble families, be able to pick up buckets?

Second, Lu Yao's two buckets full of water only weighed twenty catties, but Zhao Yingluo's two buckets added up to forty catties.

They don't think that with such a big weight gap, Zhao Yingluo can still win.

Zhao Yingluo and Lu Yao didn't have time to pay attention to the farmers, and the two of them carried their buckets and walked towards the Bianhe River a mile away.

At this time, on the official road not far away, a small group of people and horses were slowly heading towards the city, and the veteran Zong Ze, who was walking in the front, was wearing gold armor, and his gray beard was gently fluttering in the wind. In the vicissitudes of life, he can't hide his sincere heart of worrying about the country and the people.

After going out on patrol, he was about to lead his troops into the city, but the movement in the field suddenly attracted his attention.

He dismounted, threw the reins to his reins, and headed for the ground.
