Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Chapter 182: Appointment on the Willows during the Dragon Boat Festival

Sun Xiuduan stayed at the Sun family until lunch before returning home in a carriage.

During the summer days, the sunshine in Kyoto was already hot, but the gentle breeze that blew in from the swinging curtains of the carriage actually dispelled some of the heat in her heart.

The maid looked at her carefully and asked softly, "Miss...are you going to make food for your son-in-law and send it to the academy?"

"No need. He will be back in two days, and it's just in time for him to come back for the holiday."

Sun Xiuduan thought about her silly husband, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corners of her lips.

That's fine.

She placed her palm on her abdomen and rubbed the ginseng box on her lap with the thumb of her other hand, slightly lost in thought.

When she first learned that Gu Jingyan proposed that her grandfather consider this marriage, she felt a little angry.

I can't tell what I'm angry about.

But it was definitely not what her mother, Xiao Fan, believed, that was love that could not be obtained.

Now that I think about it, it was probably because she had been known as a noble lady in Kyoto since she was a child, and she had never fallen into any trouble before, but she suffered a big setback in this matter.

For example, I would be angry. You rejected me at the beginning, but now you are trying to influence my marriage. Do you really think I have no temper?

It was just that after weighing the pros and cons at a young age, I felt it was natural for me to marry someone with such a bright future.

But, rejection is rejection.

She did feel disappointed, after all, she had confidently believed that he would agree to it immediately.

After all, she was too confident.

But no matter how many emotions there are, there is none.

She accepted the result in time.

Therefore, his love was not as deep as her mother thought.

What's up with this?

She has her pride.

As for her husband, he also has his own lovable qualities.

Sun Xiuduan picked up a cherry on the small coffee table and put it into his mouth. The sweet juice immediately filled his mouth.

My grandfather said that she was a good girl and she should learn to manage the relationship between sisters-in-law well, just like her mother and second aunt, and not worry about other things.

Ginseng is such a precious item, and the other party asked someone to bring it back with great solemnity. I think it was an attempt to make friends with each other.

……

On the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Changle gave everyone in the village a day off, and everyone went home to celebrate the festival.

When Li Shixi and Yu'er woke up in the morning, they found colorful ropes tied around their wrists.

It was prepared by Ma for a few people, saying that it could ward off evil spirits and bring good luck and blessings.

Mugwort leaves were also inserted on the doors of the house.

Li Changle herself did not understand the details of these customs, and thanked Ma by shaking the silk rope on her wrist.

Li Shixi took Yu'er out of the bedroom hand in hand and asked about Li Long while having breakfast.

"Aunt, where is Uncle Thirteen? I haven't seen him for several days."

Li Changle was drinking minced meat porridge. The weather had been quite hot recently, with the sun shining brightly during the day. She didn't dare to wear short-sleeved shirts or shorts, and had to wear long-sleeved clothes all day, which made her almost terribly hot.

Ma had to let her porridge sit for a while before serving it to the table.

Looking at the two children again, they were wearing the same clothes, but the other one looked very cool and didn't feel hot at all.

"He went out with Liu Dahe."

To be honest, the King of Northern Mongolia is also a ruthless person.

Li Longren was still with her, but the Northern Mongolian Imperial Court had heard that their Prince Kang had died of illness in his fiefdom. I don't know what this was, is this his biological son?

The person was alive and well, but he was already dead. Li Changle once felt very sympathetic towards this beautiful boy with amnesia.

But since Leng Yi told her that the beautiful boy's memory had been restored and he still wanted to continue pretending to be crazy and stupid, she turned around and gritted her teeth and kicked him out of the village.

Then why did you stay in the village?

Because the system says that if you let this person go, if he is really killed by his enemy, then the +666 contribution points will be recovered by the system.

The meat is already in my mouth, there is no reason for me to spit it out.

I can’t bear to…

Li Long stayed at the gate of the manor for two days, so Li Changle pretended to be nice and reluctantly let him continue to stay there, but the condition was that he could not eat and live for free, but had to work to get paid.

Li Long was also feeling miserable. He was staying peacefully in his fiefdom, but who would have thought that he would be hunted down to the territory of Dayan.

His brother, the Crown Prince, was really a coward. He had already retreated three times, but his father had driven him to the border, and the king still refused to let him go.

His father has more than one or two sons. If they want to cause trouble, there are many who let him practice and play with. Why catch him and kill him alone?

Doesn’t his father care?

Are having too many sons less valuable?

Tiger venom doesn't even eat seeds.

What Li Long didn't know was that civil strife had broken out in the Northern Mongolian imperial court. The Northern Mongolian Crown Prince secretly sent a number of troops to search for Li Long's whereabouts, declaring that he wanted to see him alive or dead.

Li Long and Liu Dahe went out at this moment, and when they came back they had changed their faces.

The original face was too recognizable and eye-catching, so I was afraid of being recognized.

When he entered the house, Li Changle had just finished breakfast and came out of the inner courtyard with Li Shixi and Yu'er.

"Xiao Yu'er, I'm back~" Li Long picked up the little girl, "Did you miss me?"

He moved so quickly that the fish didn't have time to react. When it saw his face clearly from a close distance, it suddenly started crying.

"Uh...why are you crying?" Li Long twitched his face awkwardly.

Li Changle rubbed his forehead and hugged the little girl, "You are so ugly that I am crying."

Li Long subconsciously raised his hand and touched the red mole at the corner of his eye, and now there was a hideous scar.

When his face moved, the tumor on the scar trembled, which was really scary.

" ..."

Just recalling the time when he put this thing on his face, Li Long felt disgusted again.

He looked down and saw that Li Shixi had a calm expression. He asked curiously, "Did you recognize Uncle Thirteen?"

Li Shixi nodded and pointed to his waist, "Here, the necklace that Yu'er gave me."

Li Long lowered his head and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

This necklace was hung for him by Yu'er herself. It was in the shape of a purse, woven crookedly, and could barely hold a few copper coins. It jingled when he walked.

Li Long thought it was childish, so he replaced the jade pendant on his waist with this one. But now he couldn't help but murmur, "She gave this to me, how come I can't recognize it?"

"At first glance, I would have thought that there were robbers in the house, let alone a little girl." Li Changle rolled his eyes.

Li Long pulled off the scar on his face, and with a flick of his sleeve, he came to snatch the man from Li Changle, "Come on, Uncle Thirteen is back, come and show some love to me!"

There were still two bubbles of tears in Yu'er's big eyes, and he began to pull up his face, screaming in surprise, as if he had discovered some new continent.

Li Changle took the food box handed over by Ma and pulled Li Shixi out of the house first.

The food box contained small snacks such as biscuits, cakes, and fruits, as well as a whole thermos cup filled with sour plum soup.

Even if the school didn't provide meals today and only taught students poetry and songs, Li Shixi would not go hungry.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the teacher of the school is going to take a group of students to "step on the willows" by the Leshui River.

It is a group of scholars, some familiar but some unfamiliar, who gather together to feast, write poetry and make friends with each other.

It really talks about everything from poetry and songs to life ideals.

Leng Er drove the carriage to take Li Shixi to the appointment, and before leaving, he was reminded not to let Li Shixi drink alcohol.

This group of scholars are accustomed to pretending to be cultured.

The child is less than nine years old, it would be good for him to see the world a little.

At this time, on the road not far from the Leshui River, an elegant old man, who was covered in dust and had a pale face, was walking towards the crowded riverside with his guards.

Today, there is joy inside and outside Li County.

Farmers now have hope, and the vegetables and grains in the fields are full of vitality. How can people not be happy?

The young men, full of ambition and pride, rushed to Taoranting on the bank of Leshui River, where they drank together, recited poems and painted, which was very elegant.

The scent of incense in Huiji Temple became stronger, and girls and wives came to pray for their families and add incense money.

When passing by Taoranting, the girls covered their faces with handkerchiefs and their cheeks were flushed.

Li Changle also acted as the leader of the children today. He took Yu'er, Xiao Baozhu'er and other children to the fish and shrimp pit, intending to fish and catch shrimp for fun.

Leng Yi, Jiang and Ma followed behind, carrying tools and food boxes respectively.

When they arrived at the destination, the children were very curious to see the fish and shrimps splashing in the pit and jumping to the surface of the water.

This puddle is at the innermost end of the village, and children usually don't come here.

During the construction of Zhuangzi, parents ordered their children not to run around for fear that they would be hit by anything.

So this fish and shrimp pond was the first time the children saw it, and they exclaimed in surprise one after another.

The fish usually eats a lot of fish and shrimp, but this is the first time he has seen one jumping and tumbling alive in the pit. He was so excited that he clapped his hands and chattered with Zhuer and Xiaobao.

Jiang and Ma looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Although their men had mentioned to them that the things in this farm were not something ordinary people could see.

But the two women usually only cared about the three acres of land in front of them. All they thought about was serving the master and taking care of the elderly and children at home. They never thought about how good the things in the farm were.

All I know is that everything the host eats and uses is of the best quality.

But with a family background like Gu Jingyan's, his wife and children all eat and use the best things. Isn't that normal?

Ma's husband, Sun Daxing, his parents were servants of the Sun family in Kyoto, and he himself often went in and out of the Sun and Gu family's houses. These two families were both wealthy and powerful. Not to mention being top-notch families in Kyoto, their wealth was also among the best in the Kyoto circle.

But after Sun Daxing visited the Garden Inn on Xiaole Mountain, he felt that the eldest young lady might have a Qiankun bag that only an immortal could have.

There were more than a hundred people involved in building the small courtyard of the inn on Xiaole Mountain. The cobblestone path was winding, with lawns on both sides, large rocks carved into rockery, and a small fish pond in the corner, with beautiful little koi swimming happily in it.

Various precious flowers are planted in flower beds made of blue bricks or in ceramic pots.

There are one or two scenes in every step, and two or three kinds of flowers in each scene.

Each small courtyard is a landscape, with walls made of densely packed green bamboo or courtyards built with green bricks.

Every courtyard is decorated with famous flowers and valuable trees, and small corridors with flowing water as scenery.

Outside the courtyard, there is a winding cobblestone path connecting the courtyards, extending in all directions, with the ground on both sides covered with colorful flowers.

The top of Xiaole Mountain looks like a sky garden.

Some flowers haven't even bloomed yet, and we don't even know what they are. When all the flowers bloom, it's hard to imagine what a spectacular scene it will be.

It’s not that Sun Daxing had not been to Xiaoleshan before. He often went there to supervise the craftsmen of Zhuangzi when they started working.

But in the early stage, it was a mess everywhere and there was really nothing to see.

Until recently, the site was partially cleaned up and is much cleaner.

The most peculiar thing is that the flowers in the pots have bloomed one after another, red, yellow, pink and purple, which are very beautiful. Most of the flowers in the flowerbed are still buds or green.

There are fish in the fish pond, and water lilies are planted, with flowers of different colors. The fish play among the lotus leaves, and this small scene is really beautiful. The small pools paved with pebbles are connected to each other, and the running water flows. The whole garden exudes a fairy-like atmosphere that is not like the human world.

This is on the mountain.

A beautiful garden was created in such a short time.

Sun Daxing went back that night and talked to Ma all night long. He couldn't figure out why the mountain had changed so much when he hadn't been on the mountain to supervise the work for only half a month.

At that time, Ma only said that the craftsman hired by the master was a capable person. Why can't others do what you can't do?

Moreover, what he said sounded like a fairyland. Ma thought that her man was born in a family and his horizons were narrow after all. It was normal for him not to have seen some things in the world.

But now, looking at the crowded fish and shrimps in this pond, she felt that she was the one with a narrow vision.

Let’s not talk about the fish for now. This shrimp… isn’t it a river shrimp?

.

The fish was too big, and Li Changle was afraid that the fish would take the hook and the children would not be able to pull it up, so the few of them went to the bamboo corridor on the other side of the shrimp pit and found a place to sit down.

Ma and Jiang took the fishing gear, put bait on the shrimp hooks, and handed them to Li Changle and others.

There were a lot of prawns in the pit. As soon as the bait was put in, it was gone in an instant. The child hadn't even held the fishing rod yet, and the shrimp hook was empty.

Several children did this for a while, but no one caught a single shrimp.

Even Leng Yi couldn't bear to look at it.

There were so many big shrimps in the pit that you could scoop up half a bucket with your bare hands. Those little idiots had been feeding the shrimps for most of the hour.

Who would believe that this group of people came here to fish for shrimps! ?

The fish was so angry that its eyes widened and it kept complaining to the shrimps in the pit, saying that they only knew how to eat and wouldn't take the bait.

Maybe the shrimps couldn't stand it anymore, so a few children finally caught a few shrimps one after another, which made the children very happy.

The fish pointed at the spoils in the bucket, licked his lips and said, "Mom! I want to roast them!"

Li Changle has already promised that the fish and shrimp caught today will be barbecued in the large open space outside the house in the evening.

Invite all the friends and teachers from the literacy class in the village to come over for a meal.

She naturally agreed with the little girl and nodded, "Grill! Let's ask your Uncle Leng to catch a few big fish and grill them!"

While the child continued to play, she talked to Jiang and Ma about the barbecue party in the evening.

Kill a few chickens, build an earthen kiln next to the open space, and make beggar's chicken.

The pork belly slices are thinly sliced ​​and skewered, sweet potatoes and potatoes can also be roasted, and the ham sausage from the barbecue stall is also indispensable.

Various barbecue ingredients are also prepared. It is so delicious.

It’s been a long time since I last showed off my barbecue, and Li Changle is craving for it.

At this time, she began to miss Gu Jingyan who was far away in Beiding Prefecture.

I haven't seen him for almost half a year!
