Chapter 176: Xiangye, take a concubine
In the spacious courtyard, the marble pavement is paved, showing the extraordinaryness of the Prime Minister's Mansion everywhere.
Under the bright sunshine, Ning Baizhi, who was wearing a group of plain maids, stood in the shade of the trees, watching the father and daughter in the courtyard playing and riding a big horse, with a smile on her face.
After a while, she walked over.
"Xiangye, did you go to visit the Qinglou last night?" The girl raised her hand on her forehead to block the sun, came to Chen Chao's side, and asked.
"Nope."
Chen Chao said decisively.
Ning Baizhi frowned at her good-looking little brows, and said puzzledly:
"But it has been spread all over the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that Xiangye went to the Red Sleeves last night and ordered the floating incense Oiran, while Uncle Murong Chong ordered the Cloud Fireworks Oiran."
Really...... Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and which Oiran slept is clear.
Chen Chao waved his hand again and again, and said:
"No, no, it's all nonsense outside, you know me, how could I go to that kind of place?"
"It's just that Murong Chong wanted to see it, so I took him to listen to the music and drank a few bowls of tea, and didn't do anything else."
I don't carry this pot...... Chen Chao thought.
"Xiang Ye doesn't need to explain so much to me, if you go, you just want to say to Xiang Ye, this kind of thing, Xiang Ye can actually come to me, don't bother to run a red sleeve trick, and the girl who sleeps there has to spend money, and I, I don't want money."
As she spoke, Ning Baizhi lowered her head and stretched out two fingers to circle each other.
After speaking, Ning Baizhi lifted the corner of her skirt, her face was dyed crimson, and she ran away as if she was running away.
Chen Chao stood in place, holding the sugar treasure in his arms, a little moved.
In this family, except for Mrs. Song Qingwan, this girl is the best for him.
Sighed twice and shook his head
Chen Chao hugged Xiao Tangbao and walked towards the backyard.
In the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, in a garden that covers a small area.
At this moment, there is not half a flower in sight, and from the sky, the garden is divided into patches of paddy fields, like neat tofu blocks.
Through the guidance of the people along the road, Chen Chao found his wife Song Qingwan in a paddy field.
On the ridge of the paddy field, there is a sign inserted, which reads "Phase II B"
A woman dressed in coarse linen with her sleeves and trousers rolled up high was bending down to examine the rice plants in the paddy field, her expression serious.
Chen Chao handed Tangbao to Yue'e, who was standing outside the paddy field and had just come to report the news, took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trousers, and went down to the field.
When Yue'e saw this scene, it was too late to stop it, and the other subordinates were even more surprised.
"Xiangye, you have a precious body, you can't!" Yue'e said.
Chen Chao had already gone down to the field, walked two steps, rolled up his sleeves, looked at Yue'e outside the field, and asked rhetorically: "Your young lady, my wife can do it, why can't I go down to the field?" ”
After speaking, Chen Chao did not enter the paddy field, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and slowly approached Song Qingwan in the center of the paddy field.
Yue'e gave the subordinates a look, and the subordinates hurriedly surrounded the field and followed the footsteps of Chen Chao, for fear that something would happen to Chen Chao.
Song Qingwan heard the sound, raised her head, and saw Chen Chao coming, with a gentle smile on her face, "Xiangye, you are here." ”
Chen Chao naturally raised his hand and wiped the thin beads of sweat on Song Qingwan's forehead.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"It's not hard." Song Qingwan didn't say much to greet, pointed to the rice plants in this paddy field and said: "According to Xiangye's instructions, I found a wild loser last year, the growth of that loser is particularly good, especially high, after the rice plant matured, I harvested its seeds and planted the seeds in this field." ”
"I originally thought that after planting, every rice plant would be like that wild rotten plant, so that the yield per mu would be at least more than 1,000 catties."
"However, after the rice plant is headed, the heading is early and late, the tall and the short are uneven, and none of them are as good as the one I just discovered last year."
Chen Chao looked around and found that the rice plants in this paddy field were indeed strange, tall and short, uneven.
"Am I a failure......
Song Qingwan lowered her head silently with bitterness in her tone.
She thought that she could take advantage of the fact that Chen Chao did not come back, and planted the hybrid rice that Chen Chao said before, doubling the yield of rice, but after a year, there was no big result, and a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted.
"It's okay, you're already great."
"This thing can't be made overnight, you've done it very well."
If you want to have a dream of enjoying the cool weather, it is impossible to happen without more than ten years or decades.
Looking at the disappointed expression on Song Qingwan's face, Chen Chao reached out and pinched her face to comfort her, and took her hand out of the paddy field.
Between the ridges, the two stomped the mud on their feet.
"In the future, you don't want to go to the field yourself, ask someone else to do it." Chen Chao stomped his feet.
The big project of cultivating rice does not happen overnight.
Chen Chao felt sorry for Song Qingwan and didn't want her to be exposed to the sun all day long, observing the rice plants.
"It's okay Xiangye, my body is not so delicate, if I can cultivate rice with high yield, I will wake up laughing in my dreams," Song Qingwan laughed happily, walked to a puddle, and washed the mud on her legs.
The Chen Dynasty once again changed its opinion of Song Qingwan.
The first time I changed my opinion of her was when she said that the Empress Dowager Murong Yue was pregnant with her own child.
That time, Chen Chao was very scared and worried, afraid that Song Qingwan would have a pimple in his heart because of this, but after Song Qingwan heard it, he was just angry for a few days, and went into the palace to help Chen Chao persuade Murong Yue to go outside the palace to raise a baby.
If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
This time, Chen Chao once again looked at Song Qingwan with admiration, all over the world, everyone is a beautiful daughter, who can go to the field like Song Qingwan?
How many are there?
I'm afraid I can count it on one hand.
The ladies of Daji are beautiful, and they are hiding in the house embroidering, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Instead of being busy with farming like Song Qingwan.
In contrast, Chen Chao only felt that he really shouldn't have gone to the red sleeves last night, he knew that what he did was wrong, and said with a little weakness for a while: "Madam, there is something I want to tell you." ”
"I know what Xiangye wants to say, but it's not early, let's go and have some tea and snacks first."
Song Qingwan stared at Chen Chao, her beautiful eyes were full of soft light, "Xiangye didn't return last night, he must be tired, other women are hairy, how do they know how to take care of Xiangye?" ”
"You know what I'm trying to say?" Chen Chao was surprised.
Song Qingwan stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Chen Chao, and pulled Chen Chao to fill her stomach with some snacks first, and then said, "Of course I know." ”
"Madame doesn't blame me, and she doesn't blame me?"
Song Qingwan personally poured a cup of tea, handed it over, and shook her head, "No, I just think that Xiangye should take a concubine instead of going to the Jiaofang Division, right?" ”
Accept...... Conquest?
Chen Chao was taken aback.
Seeing Chen Chao like this, Song Qingwan giggled, and her eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile.
Said:
"I'm serious, Xiangye, for so many years, I am the only one in the house to serve Xiangye, and it's time for Xiangye to take a concubine. What about the one I said last time, my uncle's family has a niece, who is beautiful and hurts, should you think about it? ”
Hearing this, the corners of Chen Chao's mouth twitched.
Other wives are eager to tie their husbands to their belts and prevent them from looking at other women.
Unexpectedly, Song Qingwan, knowing that she was going to teach the Fang Division, would not be angry, and she would have to rush to take a concubine for herself.
Where to find such a woman?
"How about two first? Let them wait for ...... first."
"Xiangye is not satisfied, let's find her again?"
"Actually, Yue'e and Bai Zhi are not bad, they are both people around us, and they know each other."
