Lin Piao was taken aback: "I haven't gone out to play for half a year?" ”

No wonder he was so depressed and lonely in his heart, he had to be chased and intercepted every day as soon as he went out, Lin Piao already had a sense of escape from going out, and he had been stuffy in the house for so long unconsciously.

Qiu Yu nodded: "Counting the days, it has been half a year, even if you go out, you will go to the General's Mansion, otherwise it will be the foundry." ”

Lin Piao held his chin and thought about it, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Qiu Yu saw that he seemed to think of something, his face suddenly improved, and his eyes were smiling.

"What did Madame think of to make such a smile?"

Lin Piao smiled: "I can't say it, in a few days, I have to talk to Shen Hong about it first." ”

Qiu Yu nodded, not daring to ask in detail, for fear that there was something to be ashamed of.

Lin Piao looked back at Qiu Yu: "You are not young now, do you want to let it out and get married?" Do you have a favorite lover? I'll prepare for you, I'm afraid I'll run out of time later. ”

Lin Piao knew that people in ancient times attached great importance to marriage, and in ordinary ancient dramas, if the maid was not allowed to marry when she was old, it would arouse resentment.

When Qiu Yu heard him say such things, her expression became shy: "Madam, how can you say such a thing, Qiu Yu is not married, and Qiu Yu will accompany Madame for the rest of her life." ”

"You have to accompany me when you get married, I didn't say that you won't come back."

When Qiu Yu heard this, he was very moved, and smiled even more shyly, Lin Piao saw that there was a situation.

"Who do you have a crush on?"

Qiu Yu twisted his fingers in the handkerchief: "I didn't fancy anyone, but Zheng She treated me well." ”

Understood, I fell in love with Zheng She.

"The name is quite familiar, but I don't remember who it is."

"It's the youngest son of Steward Zheng, and now he is in charge of buying in the house."

Qiu Yu naturally didn't dare to say how Zheng She was good to her, Zheng She was a thoughtful person, knew what she liked, and bought on weekdays, except for the vegetables, fruits and meats that the masters liked to eat, some of the others were bought according to what she liked, and so were pastries, she liked to eat jujube paste yam cakes, and every time she bought snacks, there would always be jujube paste yam cakes, and he would specially take a pack to give to her, telling her to laugh.

Qiu Yu also accepted it at first, saying that it was a "thing from the house", and told him not to do it again in the future, thinking that he would use the things from the house as a favor, and that she would be a good person.

Later, Zheng She knew that she didn't like this, so she still came to deliver snacks, and swore to her: "This snack doesn't use the money in the house, I know you don't like it, I bought it with my own money, you can check the account book if you don't believe it, a total of five packs of jujube paste yam cakes and cakes were sold, and they were sent to five courtyards, and the sixth pack could never be found." ”

She saw that he was serious, and was willing to listen to her, so she accepted the snacks, and then Zheng She often came to her, talked to her, and helped her do her work, although the things in hand are all yard things, and can not be handled by outsiders, but there are some chores, to pass the word and the like, ask him to do, he is very in a hurry, and do it carefully, after a long time, Qiu Yu also thinks that Zheng She is very good, but there is one thing Qiu Yu is a little sad.

Lin Piao looked at her with a shy face, but she became a little sad as she spoke.

"What's the matter, didn't you say that Zheng She was good to you, could it be that he had other ideas?"

Qiu Yu waved his hand: "Of course, there is no, after all, everything seems to be good at present, and I am very attentive to it, that is, I want to go home, and my wife also knows that I was brought by the state government, and the people in my family are in the countryside near the state capital, no matter where I work, they always expect me to go home and get married, or marry a nearby person, and become a biological child in the future, and I always have to stay at home for two years, which is also a day of family reunion, but if I marry outside, I will not even have that day of reunion." ”

"If you are really worried, after getting married, you will take Zheng She back to your hometown, and you can stay for a while and come back, anyway, Zheng She's family is in the mansion, and staying in the mansion together is considered a family reunion, unlike your home, which is far away, and you can't see each other on weekdays."

Qiu Yu nodded and thought about it.

Lin Piao saw that she was thinking seriously, she should have really moved, so she said.

"If he really wants to marry you, let him come and propose marriage, so that I can marry you, and if you are not busy giving birth to children, you can still stay by my side when you get married."

Qiu Yu didn't shake her head or nod, she hung her head shyly, and pinched her handkerchief: "Madam, you are really, saying that these shameful people are dead." ”

Lin Piao: "......"

Lin Piao saw that although her appearance was quite dignified, her soul seemed to be about to twist into a twist, and it was rare for Qiu Yu to be so delicate, and she felt that goosebumps were about to pop up.

No wonder they all say that the sour smell of love is terrible, it turns out that this is the feeling.

Lin Piao asked her to think about this matter on her own, so she didn't mention it again, and in the evening, Shen Hong came back earlier than the other days.

Shen Hong came back for dinner, and the two went out for a walk, rested for a while, and then bathed and changed clothes.

Lin Piao wanted to talk to Shen Hong because of something, and planned to fight him for 300 rounds first, so as to paralyze him first.

It was rare for Shen Hong to come back early today, and he was also moved in his heart, so he asked people to prepare water and hugged Lin Piao to bathe.

Lin Piao put his arms around Shen Hong's neck, and before he reached the bucket, he raised his head and approached him, and kissed him on the Adam's apple first.

Shen Hong's jaw tightened, and he lowered his eyes with a smile.

Lin Piao looked at him with a smile in his arms, his arm used a little force, Shen Hong saw him move like this, afraid that he would fall, so he reached out to support his thigh, Lin Piao hung on him like a koala bear, put his arms around his neck, looked at him, leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

"Actually, I want to kiss here."

After Lin Piao finished speaking, Shen Hong had already leaned over and kissed it, let Lin Piao sit on his forearm, and took out a hand to press the back of Lin Piao's head to deepen the kiss.

This bath took a long time, but the weather was getting colder, and the water temperature was gradually decreasing, Shen Hong was afraid that Lin Piao would be cold, so he took someone out of the bath first, took a thick and soft robe and wrapped it in Lin Piao, and carried him all the way to the house where the two of them were sleeping.

The earth dragon was scorching hot, but he was not afraid of catching a cold, and the water droplets on his body were sucked clean by his robe, and a thin layer of sweat gushed out, becoming more and more damp and hot.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Lin Piao lay beside him, wrapped in the wide robe and rested on his shoulder, and after a while, Lin Piao said softly, "I have something to say to you." ”

Shen Hong hugged him, and the two of them were about to brainwave together, and they happened to open their mouths together: "There is something Piao'er should want to know." ”

Shen Hong heard what he said and looked sideways at him: "You say." ”

Lin Piao felt a little uneasy in his heart: "You say it first, you say." ”

Shen Hong bowed slightly: "After two days of rest, Lingyue said to get together, when the time comes, we will arrange things and find a secluded garden to play for a day, there are many things to do in this autumn, we haven't traveled yet, we should always go out and have a look." ”

When Lin Piao heard him say this, he couldn't open his mouth for a moment.

Shen Hong lowered his eyes and looked at him seriously: "What does Piao'er want to say?" ”

Lin Piao hesitated for a moment, looked at Shen Hong's face, and finally didn't speak: "It's nothing." ”

"Piao'er has something in her heart to say freely, and you don't have to hide it between you and me." Shen Hong said and took Lin Piao's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it.

Lin Piao hesitated for a moment, but still didn't open his mouth, and finally knew why people became hesitant in the face of feelings, raised his head and looked at Shen Hong, thinking about it, he could only ask softly.

"Are you tired?"

Shen Hong was a little surprised, they would only have one in a few days, and once they said that once was once, once Lin Piao couldn't stand it, but it was the first time he heard Lin Piao take the initiative to ask for the second time.

"Can't Piao'er feel it? I'm tired or not. Shen Hong leaned over and hugged Lin Piao into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Lin Piao only had four words in his heart, begging for hardship.

There are four more words, which are particularly difficult.

Lin Piao sighed faintly in his heart, in fact, he was thinking that Shen Hong was so busy now, and he didn't have anything special to do in Shangjing, if he waited for Fang Ming's road construction to start, he would follow the army to build the road, and now that the world was peaceful, he could also look at the scenery along the road, ride a horse, and climb the mountain in this great river and mountain.

It's just that Shen Hong was afraid that he would be bored, so he had already come up with such an idea, and he also said that it didn't seem good to want to go out.

When Shen Hong heard this, he was afraid that he would feel that he did not love him enough.

What's more, Shen Hong was afraid that he would run away at the beginning, but now when he hears this kind of news, he will only feel even more nervous.

Lin Piao hugged Shen Hong tightly, and his thoughts began to be intermittent.

……

The second aunt set off with Erzhu and Yu Niang, Uncle Qiu set off with Da Zhuang and Hua Rusui, and Ergou was a lonely man, and the family's carriage gathered outside the capital, and then went to Zhuangzi outside the capital for an autumn tour.

When they arrived, Shen Hong and Erzhu Dazhuang went to take a carriage, and the second aunt, Uncle Qiu, and Yu Nianghua Rusui squeezed over, and Qiu Yu saw that the space was not enough, so he went to another carriage by himself, so that they could chat together.

Even Uncle Qiu, who is usually relatively silent, is very interested at the moment: "I haven't been to Zhuangzi for a long time, there are many mountains and trees there, and now it is autumn, there should be a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms that can be eaten, and after we came to Beijing, we haven't gone to the mountains to pick up mushrooms for a long time." ”

The second aunt was also very excited, although now the family no longer has to rely on picking mushrooms to make a living, but after more than 20 years of picking up mushrooms, it has formed a deep memory, and now as a hobby, it is also very interesting to think about.

Hua Rusui has never picked up mushrooms, Uncle Qiu carefully and carefully said to her: "Picking up mushrooms is very simple, that is, the hands should be steady, the hands should be light, pinch the position of the root of the fungus, gently lift up, if you pinch other positions, you may not be allowed to tear the mushrooms, although it does not affect eating, but it is not good-looking, the way to recognize the mushrooms, anyway, the bright, beautiful color do not pick, the other to the mountain I pointed out to you, see you to know what to pick." ”

Hua Rusui nodded curiously, she was a "merchant's lady", although she was not as noble as the official lady, but she had never gone up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and stepped on mushrooms, and it was fresh to hear them talk about it at the moment.

"How did the fungus grow, did someone else grow it? I often see it at the dinner table, but I don't know how to get out. ”

Uncle Qiu said: "That's different, the fungus is not like anything else, you can see the roots when you pull it up, the fungus is the grace given by the mountain god, nothing else, as long as the mountains and forests are wet, or it rains, a little water will grow, generally there is a fixed place, if a place grows fungus, this time it is picked, and this place will basically grow in the future." ”

Most people couldn't tell where the fungus came from, and this thing was particularly mysterious, with neither roots nor seeds, so they agreed that it was a reward from the mountain gods, which made the fungus veil of mountain spirits.

The second aunt laughed as she spoke: "You little ones don't know, in the past, in the village, it was really a good day to get a meal of mushrooms, it tasted more fragrant than meat, and it didn't cost money. ”

Xiaoyue also said: "At that time, my favorite was the mushroom fried pork slices made by my aunt, and my sister-in-law took the idea to do this, and there are two methods, one is to take the fat meat and fry it dry, fry the fat oil, and then go down to the meat, and then the mushrooms, all fried to the dry and fragrant, but the rice, and then to the county government to have a little more in the hand, the sister-in-law also thinks that although the dish is delicious, but often eats it and feels that the throat is dry, or a little on fire, so I pinch the meat slices with powder, and the meat slices are smooth and tender, and the mushrooms are tenderSlice diagonally into not thin or thick slices, boil them together, bring the soup juice, and the rice is also fragrant. ”

Although Yu Niang has not eaten a few meals with them in the county government, she has eaten some dishes of Tongxilou, and can also talk about the days in the county government, only Hua Rusui is alone, and has eaten some meals of Tongxilou, but the things in life are completely indifferent.

Juan'er noticed that the big family was happy, and forgot about it, so she took the initiative to talk to Hua Rusui: "Sister-in-law, where is your hometown, what kind of dishes do you eat, sister-in-law looks so good-looking and gentle, it should be Jiangnan cuisine that eats a lot." ”

Hua Rusui was amused: "What Jiangnan cuisine, but my mother likes to drink some soup and water, and the habits in the family are the same, but it is not as good as the Chinese medicine at home so carefully, add some codonopsis wolfberry, now I have learned a lot, go back to stew for my mother to drink, she looks at the spirit is much better." ”

Although the family had prepared a lot of ready-made food and snacks, since they had come to Zhuangzi, they still had to eat some fresh meals and prepare a few seasonal dishes.

When they arrived outside the Zhuangzi, Lin Piao lifted the curtain and looked at it, and it was just when the farming was about to begin, because they said they wanted to come over to play, so the people in the Zhuangzi first pushed back the farming work, and did not rush to cut the rice, lest when they came, the east would be bare, and the west would be bare, and it would not look good.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful all the way, the birds are chirping, the sound of the stream is loud nearby, there is only a big Zhuangzi between the mountains and rivers, and when they arrive at the gate of the Zhuangzi, they get off the carriage, and the person in charge of the Zhuangzi is already waiting respectfully outside, and when they see them getting off the carriage, they hurriedly come up to salute.

"Mrs. Shen, it's been hard to travel all the way, you have suffered, please come in quickly, this day is a little poisonous, hurry up and hold an umbrella."

As he spoke, he came up with an umbrella, and several people who followed him also hurriedly came up to deliver the umbrella, and the autumn rain brought their own umbrellas, but when they saw them sending them up, they didn't bother to get them, and stepped forward to take the umbrella and open it, blocking Lin Piao's head.

When the umbrella was opened, the steward in charge of Zhuangzi greeted them and walked inside, looking quite excited, and asked Lin Piaoji if he remembered him on the way.

Lin Piao was a little puzzled: "Are you ......?" ”

"Madame, noble people forget things, I was the little steward of our textile factory, the big steward you sent, and then I promoted a small steward in the factory, I did it for more than a year, and then Mrs. knew that there was a person like me, and said that I did a good job in errands, so let me take charge of Zhuangzi."

"Oh!" Lin Piao suddenly realized, remembered who he was, the textile factory there was not much to do every day, at that time, the newspaper came up, said that the little steward had done a lot of improvement planning, especially in those trivial details, all of which were improved very well, not for the sake of doing things, making simple things more and more troublesome, but to make a lot of trivial things more planning and behavioral inertia, and the division of labor became more clear. Lin Piao recommended him, wanting him to give full play to his management skills, but he didn't expect to be doing a good job now.

Lin Piao glanced at the surrounding scenery, and the house was very large, because it was a house in the mountains, and the layout was larger than that in the city.

"On the way here, I saw that the rice was ripe and had not yet been cut, so that it would delay the day?"

The steward waved his hand again and again: "Don't delay, don't delay, it's nothing to put the rice in the field for two more days, as long as you dare to cut it all before the autumn tiger leaves, the main thing is to show that the sun is good, the rice is dried, and nothing else." ”

When the family went inside, the steward invited them to sit down, and the family rested for a while and drank some tea, and the second aunt and Uncle Qiu soon became ready to move: "Find a few baskets, let's go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms, and then we will fry a fresh meal in the afternoon." ”

They discussed it, and the steward called the servant woman from the Zhuangzi to accompany them and take them up the mountain.

Lin Piao also decided to climb the mountain, picking mushrooms is secondary, scattering the heart to inhale oxygen, green is good for the eyes.

"Get me a basket too."

When Shen Hong heard him say this, the steward went to fetch the basket for him himself, and whispered beside him, "I will accompany you up the mountain." ”

Lin Piao nodded, it was interesting to think about it: "Okay, anyway, it's boring, let's bring a small food box, and we can eat some when we're hungry outside, which is also a picnic." ”

They packed up their things and left a few maids to watch the things and make some food, Erzhu and Da Zhuang also decided to follow because their daughter-in-law was going up the mountain, and Ergou was not to be left behind, and stubbornly decided to follow the army.

"I'll go too! You guys come in pairs! Don't try to dump me! ”
