Chapter 51

Through the oral accounts of several people and the memories of the terrain and landforms in his previous life, Wang Shu completely filled in a new map in a very short time.

Before the ink was dry, she carefully put it away.

Based on the military importance of ancient maps, Wang Shu did not mean to let the people present look at them more, or take them over to rub a copy. No matter how accurate the map she had drawn, she could see it herself, but she couldn't spread it around. It's not that you don't trust these people here, but there are some things that are so important that you need to be vigilant.

After explaining the matter, Wang Shu went back to her room and went to sleep. Last night I was busy until midnight, and I woke up very early in the morning. She was so busy that she couldn't hold on. His eyelids were so heavy that they seemed to fall at any moment.

Her house has always been cleaned up, and Peony cleans it herself every day. When you enter the house, you can rest.

Wang Shu's sleep went straight to the evening.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the glow outside the window. The black magpie flies south, circles the tree three times, and squeaks and screams.

The courtyard was quiet, and Peony and Lily of the Valley were not there.

I guess the people either went to the test field or were in the grain field. The wheat seeds have to be dried before they can be harvested, otherwise they will quickly become moldy. The peony girls knew that Wang Shu valued these grains, and they would often check them. Wang Shu sat on the edge of the bed, her stomach let out a long roar, and Fang realized that she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

I didn't call the maid in to serve. She got up with her hands and feet, put on her clothes, and went straight to the back kitchen to forage for food.

She slept all afternoon and missed lunch, when she could really eat the next cow.

Gesang Ma started to stew mutton soup since he knew that Wang Shu was coming. Because she knew that Wang Shu loved to eat her stewed mutton, almost every time Wang Shu came over, she would prepare mutton soup. Today, the sheep also deliberately chose the Tan sheep, half of it was stewed, and half of it was made into a braised sheep. Seeing that Wang Shu was really hungry, Gesang took a big bowl of braised mutton and hurriedly served a pot of noodles with mutton soup.

After eating a big bowl of noodles and adding some mutton, Wang Shu finally felt alive. Day and night are reversed like this, even if you sleep for a long time, you will feel groggy.

I shook my head, but I still felt a little heavy. Wang Shu raised her head and found that the magpie had come over at some point, and was waiting for her outside.

"What's wrong?" Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Wang Shu softly praised the craftsmanship of Gesang hemp. provoked Gesang Ma to dance happily, and couldn't wait to show all kinds of skills at night, and asked Wang Shu to eat a few more bites of her cooking.

The magpie trotted over and lowered his voice: "Master, the master is here." ”

“？” Wang Shu subconsciously looked up at the sky, it was not dark yet. Didn't this man speak in the morning?

"Where's the man?"

Magpie: "In the study." ”

Wang Shu was taken aback: "!! ”

Wang Shu's study was later arranged, in the east wing of Wang Shu's house. It's not big, but it's a lot of paper stuff. Previously, when Wang Shu wanted to check the accounts of the Wang family, for convenience, he deliberately moved some account books into it. In addition, the rest are all Wang Shu's experimental materials and the experimental vegetarian dishes that have been moved from Qinghe Town for many years. At this time, when she heard that others were in her study, Wang Shu subconsciously became nervous.

can instantly remember that her information is all recorded in simplified Chinese, and Xiao Yanxing is equivalent to reading the book of heaven. Even the information I got back from Qinghe Town was all in simplified Chinese mixed with English, and I suddenly let go of my heart.

Relieved, Wang Shu stood up, raised his legs and walked out: "When did he come over?" ”

"It's been a while." The magpie followed Wang Shu's footsteps, "But the master is asleep, and the master told me not to disturb." ”

Wang Shu was taken aback: "Don't say it earlier!" ”

The magpie also wanted to say earlier, didn't he find someone in the house? But she didn't speak, and immediately admitted her mistake. Seeing this, Wang Shu didn't bother with her, and walked quickly in the direction of the study.

The small size of the house is a good thing, and it will be there quickly if you walk faster.

But after a stick of incense, she went to the study.

The study was silent, and when the door was opened, Xiao Yanxing was standing by the window, quietly looking at the wildly rising grass and trees in the yard. Hearing the movement, he slowly turned his head, and the shadow of his body was stretched thin. The posture is like a pine, half of the afterglow.

"Awake?" The voice is light and low.

Wang Shu stepped forward quietly and glanced around. Except for Xiao Yanxing, there was no one else in the study.

"Why did you come here so early?"

She quickly walked around the room and was relieved to find that nothing had been touched inside.

Although Xiao Yanxing has some arrogance engraved in his bones, he is still a very restrained person in essence. Without the permission of others, they will never turn over other people's study without permission.

It's just that Wang Shu is more sloppy, and she doesn't clean up much on her desk, and there are a lot of materials piled up on it. Many of them are open.

At this time, there was a book spread out in the center of the desk, which happened to be the wheat seed record sorted out some time ago.

But the book spread out on the table was written in the house of the Wang family, and it was not mixed with English, Aladdin and other things.

Wang Shu deliberately transcribed this copy after finishing the draft, just so that it would be easy to read in the future. The handwriting is very neat, even if it is in simplified Chinese, it is typeset from left to right. With Xiao Yanxing's reading ability, he should be able to understand.

"I'm just done with it, so I'll come over."

He didn't seem to notice Wang Shu's nervousness, and walked to the desk very naturally as he spoke.

The booklet was on the table. Unless you are blind, you can't be blind. Wang Shu's heart was about to jump out of her throat, for fear that Xiao Yanxing would ask her what she was messing with. Racking their brains to figure out how to deal with it, how to say it in order to get this thing over.

But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see him ask, and Wang Shu's heart gradually let go.

The magpie came in with tea. Wang Shu led him to sit down on the Luohan couch by the window.

I thought he wouldn't speak, but when he sat down, the man suddenly turned his head and looked at her with a smile: "Why are you pretending to be illiterate in front of me?" ”

"Huh?"

He asked suddenly, and Wang Shu didn't react for a while.

"Isn't that pretty good, I see? Why do you pretend to be illiterate in front of me? Xiao Yanxing picked up the cup and blew the tea foam gently, but patiently asked again in a different way.

Wang Shu blinked her big eyes a few times, and her head went blank for a moment.

She thought about it, she didn't understand where Xiao Yanxing's words about pretending to be illiterate began. I was wondering in my heart, when I saw him put his hand on the table, slowly raised it, and tapped his fingertips on the record of wheat seeds.

Wang Shu: "......"

I thought it was okay, but it turned out that there was something wrong, and in an instant, Wang Shu's scalp was numb.

"The words are deliberately written with missing arms and broken legs?" Xiao Yanxing's eyelashes fanned, "Or, is this a text from somewhere else?" ”

This sentence almost scared Wang Shu to death.

She raised her head instantly, thinking that she had shown something special to let Xiao Yanxing know her details. Leng Buding looked at Xiao Yanxing with a pair of smiling eyes, and his heart suddenly relaxed again.

"It's not." Wang Shu grabbed her hair, and in her selfish heart, she knew that she couldn't hide it for long under Xiao Yanxing's nose. But I really don't want him to know about these things. At least before it is completely exposed, she will still struggle hard: "Master also knows that I am lazy, and I like to be lazy when I write." I can write most of the complicated fonts by simplifying them, and I can understand them myself. ”

"Oh?"

If you look closely, it is indeed a simplification of the font.

Xiao Yanxing didn't suspect Wang Shu, he just teased her casually. Somehow he has been thinking of Wang Shu from time to time recently. I am also very interested in many things about Wang Shu, and for the first time in my life, I have such a strong desire to explore a woman.

"What is written? Wheat seeds? Xiao Yanxing knew that Wang Shu planted wheat, "Are you still studying how to grow wheat?" ”

Wang Shu: "......"

"Inconvenient to say?"

“…… No," Wang Shu said very skillfully, half-truthfully, "I am indeed studying how to grow wheat." “

Xiao Yanxing naturally knew that she liked to tinker, and before he saw anyone for the first time, he already knew this girl's preference for farming. The second time, I bumped into this girl secretly going to his yard to steal soil. The third time, the girl hollowed out the ground next to his pond in order to plant her wheat. Although Xiao Yanxing did not say anything, he actually knew everything.

“…… I don't know, don't look at my family of merchants, in fact, I have been rolling in the fields since I was five years old, and I have been tinkering with farming since I was a child. The purpose of recording this is to summarize the methods and to teach my tenants how to farm better in the future. ”

"You teach tenants to farm?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yanxing: "...... How will the tenants reap the harvest according to your method? ”

"So-so." Wang Shu frowned and replied to him very sincerely: "But most of them don't listen to me, saying that I don't know how to plant." So my father gave me another few acres of land, and I could tinker with it. ”

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

"In the beginning, I planted whatever I sowed and died, but now I can live if I plant it."

Xiao Yanxing: "......"

Wang Shu patted her chest and said, "Growing wheat is also quite simple. Ask a few experienced old farmers to plant for you, and you just need to give him good seeds. ”

“……”

In the study, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop on the floor.

After a long time, Xiao Yanxing gave up asking Wang Shu what he was writing in private. What Wang Shu is writing does not affect the overall situation. The reason why Xiao Yanxing asked was purely because of Wang Shu's concern.

"It's really boring for people to stay in the back house, and it's good to find something to do."

Wang Shu grinned: "Yes, I think too!" ”

The matter of rice planting and wheat planting was fooled by Wang Shu's half-truths. It's good to have a silly white and sweet face, and if you say something half-truthful, you can't tell if it's really stupid or fake.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yanxing has been coming to the northern suburbs for half an hour, and he will be in the study after arriving.

He roughly knew what was in Wang Shu's study.

In addition to these godly farming records, most of the bookshelves are the account books of the Wang family's shops. Xiao Yanxing saw it, but he didn't flip through it without authorization. Just like what he promised Wang Shu before, he is only temporarily taking advantage of the Wang family's convenience to do something, and will not interfere in the Wang family's business, let alone occupy or peep into the Wang family's property.

Xiao Yanxing has always been true to his word and does what he says.

"Now that you're up, come with me to some food."

Recently, he has been busy with affairs, and his appetite will only be better when he eats with Wang Shu.

Wang Shu ate a big bowl of noodles just now, and also ate a lot of mutton.

The lamb stuff was pretty filling, at least she wasn't that hungry right now. However, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yanxing, and it was not impossible to accompany him to eat more. Wang Shu saw that he let her go gently, and there was a trace of gratitude in her heart: "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I'll eat whatever you eat."

…… That's okay, Wang Shu asked Gesang Ma to make another bowl of noodles. She personally fried a topping and accompanied Xiao Yanxing to eat again. Xiao Yanxing saw that she was eating with relish, and unconsciously ate a big bowl of noodles.

It's very good, with her, sure enough, the meal is fragrant.

After eating, Xiao Yanxing's mood was much better. Coming over today, there is actually a tricky problem that has not been solved. Now I'm much calmer. After a simple dinner, Xiao Yanxing left the study and went to Mr. Mu's house. Not long after, Mr. Yan also passed. There seems to be something to discuss. Wang Shu didn't bother, and went to find a peony.

In the past, Wang Shu did not deliberately explain that no one was allowed to enter her study, because usually no one entered without permission. Today's incident reminded her that the door to her study must be locked in the future.

Peony understood, and she would arrange this by herself.

At night, the leaders of the Han family army took advantage of the darkness to enter the Wang family.

Wang Shu gathered a few people in the flower hall in the front yard early, and a group of people arrived, and Xiao Yanxing also came out of Mr. Mu's house. Wang Shu thought about it and took the map she had drawn.

Just like Wang Shu thought before, there are too many people, and it can't be delivered in a short time.

Excluding the time spent on preparation, the time spent on the journey, and other specific problems, the biggest problem is that there are not so many people in the four places. Even if all localities absorb these people according to their maximum capacity, there are still about 6,000 soldiers who have nowhere to stay.

The atmosphere was somber, and the time was too tight for them to properly arrange.

“…… Otherwise, you can only aggrieve the soldiers to hide in the inaccessible forest for a period of time. "If you can't get it away, you can only hide it. But where so many people are hiding needs to be carefully discussed.
