Xiaofulang's farming space

Because everyone is from the same village, the invitation to dinner is set on the first night of the first day. After the second day, everyone wants to visit relatives to pay New Year's greetings. The invitations in the village have to be moved to the eighth and ninth day. At that time, Xiaoman and Xiaoxue We are about to leave, Luo Xiaohan invited him earlier. .

Because more people came, there were two big tables in the kitchen, and the food was still hot pot, but Luo Xiaohan steamed a pot of rice and made some stir-fried vegetables for everyone to enjoy.

Chuqing became more stable after becoming an official. After eating, he dragged Xiaoman into the house. Zikangzile looked helplessly as he had no chance to talk to brother Xiaoman. Fortunately, there was Xiaoyuer playing with them. Writing a thousand-character prose, he taught Xiao Yu'er to recognize characters in seven words and eight languages.

When Xiaoxue returned to the village, her appearance was even more beautiful, plus she was well-dressed, so she still had the feeling of being a girl in the village with inferiority complex. If no one told her, she would think she was a lady from somewhere

The sisters-in-law and aunts all nodded their heads and praised her. After the meal, they secretly asked if Xiaoxue was engaged. Xiaoxue had been outside for more than a year, so she knew at a glance that she had attached herself to a rich family. She thought she might have engaged outside.

Xiaoman shook her head and said, "Xiaoxue is still young, I will keep her for two more years, the engagement is only because she really likes to bring it to me to see, everything depends on Xiaoxue's meaning"

"How can a little girl know how to judge people? You still have to check with Qingming." Some people cared. been fooled

Luo Xiaohan also knew that these people cared about Xiaoxue, so he said sincerely: "Don't worry, sisters-in-law and aunts, we will help her look after her. Xiaoxue's life is miserable, and I will never let her marry into someone who will be angry."

With the help of these people, the kitchen was cleaned up in a while, and everyone went back after sitting for a while.

Chu Qing talked with Xiao Man in the room about some things he encountered in his job, and asked him about his knowledge by the way, and nodded reassuringly, "You have opened up your mind a lot. I'm afraid it will be safe to take the exam at the end of this summer."

"Brother Chuqing is not very easy in Jinzhou," Xiaoman sighed

"Fortunately," Chuqing's eyes lit up, "most of the people in the same department know each other. Although the official position is low, it's okay to have someone to help you do things. Especially when you work under Master Tao, you feel that you gain something every day. In the past, our vision was still narrow. more"

"Brother Chuqing, I really envy you that you can work with Mr. Tao"

"Don't envy me, I'm waiting for you in Jinzhou"

"Um"

"Those friends in Golden State are okay"

"Fortunately, it's just that Brother Xie's job is a bit tough, but he's in good health, and I think his martial arts are getting better and better. Zhu'an and Yichen are both fine. I'm with Zhu'an and get along a lot, but we still have time. When we come out to get together, the houses rented by the imperial court are quite close to each other, it’s Ruiwen, we don’t see each other very often.” Said the last sentence seems to have a pity in it

Chuqing didn't go back that night, the two brothers chatted until midnight, Chuqing stayed here, before going to bed, he thought that there was something else he forgot to say, but he couldn't think so much when he was sleepy, so he just shut up. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Opening his eyes the next day, Xia Chenfei sat up and said, "What did I say I forgot? Before I leave, Zhaoxuan asked me to bring you a letter."

Xiaoman opened his eyes in a daze, "Brother Chuqing, what did you say?"

"Zhaoxuan asked me to bring you a letter before leaving, but I actually forgot, now go back and get it." After saying that, he got up, put on a cotton coat and left in a hurry. Luo Xiaohan saw him in the kitchen and called him "Morning Fly, breakfast is ready"

"I'll come over to eat later." Xia Chenfei waved his hand

Luo Xiaohan just finished praising him yesterday for his stability, seeing him like this today, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

Xiaoman took the letter and opened it in front of Xia Chenfei without hesitation. There were six or seven letters in the letter. Xiaoman read it once, "Brother Zhaoxuan asked you to bring the letter to me just to chat with me about family affairs?"

"Who knows, I probably miss you." Xia Chenfei frowned and said Xiaoman thought for a while before writing, "In that case, I'll write a letter to brother Zhaoxuan too."

Chu Qing had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, so he quietly withdrew to find Luo Xiaohan for breakfast.

"Where is Xiao Man?"

"Brother Zhaoxuan wrote a letter to Xiaoman, and Xiaoman is replying to the letter"

"What letter?" Luo Xiaohan asked curiously

"Xiaoman said it was just a household thing, and wrote a thick letter, thinking it was something important." Xia Chenfei shook his head, Luo Xiaohan put down his chopsticks, "I'll go and have a look."

Luo Xiaohan entered the room and called out, "Xiaoman, let's eat first."

"I'll finish writing it soon." Xiaoman lowered his head and replied, Luo Xiaohan stepped forward, "Can I read it?"

"Of course I can. I have written some experiences and insights from the past six months. Brother, just read it." Xiaoman wrote another sheet and put it aside. After reading it again, it was all about daily chores. Luo Xiaohan sighed and looked at Xiaoman. Can Xiaoman accept Xie Xuhui's feelings?

Because of the existence of Shuanger, it is not impossible for men and men to intermarry. In this dynasty, they are called Jieqi, and they are called brothers and brothers. The court allows them to adopt orphans, and they can also adopt from the clan. , This is what modern people call homosexuality.

Xiaoman is dedicated to learning, and has never paid attention to the relationship between men and women. If Xie Xuhui writes another hundred letters, Xiaoman may not understand what he means.

After reading the letter, Luo Xiaohan told him to go to have breakfast quickly and then went out. Xiaoman hurriedly put the letter in an envelope, wrote the cover and put it on the desk, and went to have breakfast.

After the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Jade Palace sent a carriage to pick up Xiaoxue, saying that Princess Bingbing missed her, and she was clamoring every day to play with Sister Xiaoxue, but before leaving, she hesitated and told them that if Sister Xiaoxue wanted to stay at home more It's okay to let her sister Xiaoxue go back after fifteen days if she stays for a few days. Poor, Chunhua had no choice but to send someone over to ask.

Xiaoxue laughed and said, "It just so happens that my second brother has to go back to the academy, and it will be too late. I will say goodbye to everyone today and leave tomorrow."

After hearing this, the bodyguards said that they would go to the town to find an inn to stay in, and they made an appointment to leave tomorrow.

Xiaoxue sent the finished clothes to everyone in the village, and finally went to Xia Heyan's door and knocked lightly on the door. Xia Yuan opened the door and saw that it was her, and hurriedly blushed to invite her in.

"Brother Xia Yuan, I won't go in. I'm going to Jinzhou tomorrow. These clothes are for you, and this backpack is very popular in Jinzhou now. It's much more convenient for you to go out and bring things."

"I'm leaving tomorrow"

Xiaoxue nodded, "Brother Xia Yuan, goodbye"

Xia Yuan nodded, "Can I go to the Jade Palace to see you when I go to Jinzhou in the future?"

"Of course, I will treat you to something delicious."

The two said goodbye, Xiaoxue returned home reluctantly, and gave them the clothes for Xia Qingming, Luo Xiaohan and Xiaoman, "Xiaoxue, this snowflake in the dark part of the neckline is your mark." After seeing it, Luo Xiaohan asked, "Yes." This is what Grandma Zhong told me. When she was young, she invented a kind of embroidery method called Lingxiu. She designed the word Lingxiu as a flower and showed it in the dark. She has marked it. My name is Xiaoxue, so I don’t need it. Whatever you design, just embroider a snowflake"

"Well, but this snowflake is more ordinary after all."

"I know, in the future, Granny Zhong will design my unique embroidery stick with me, and then I will have my own mark on the things I make. Granny Zhong said that the essence of embroidery is not much."

"makes sense"

Xiaoxue sighed while packing her bags, "Grandma Zhong is really pitiful. She offended a big businessman in the local area because of her good embroidery work, and the government and businessman colluded with him and killed his head and her family. After being imprisoned for more than two years, I managed to escape. Fortunately, it was the time of war, and she was not found among the refugees, and she struggled all the way to Jinzhou to file a lawsuit against the imperial court.”

"At that time, King Jade's palm prints were focused on the frontline soldiers and the emperor, and she didn't have much hope in her heart. Her family's affairs were not as important as the war, but Lord Jade was a good person. After hearing what happened to her, he still sent a Someone went to help her investigate and overturn the case, and Granny Zhong stayed in the Yuwang Mansion in order to repay the Jade King's kindness."

Xiaoxue took out a silk handkerchief as she spoke, "Grandma Zhong has been in poor health for the past few years, and her eyesight is not good, but bro, look at the handkerchief she embroidered for me. It's still so pretty. I want to be like her too."

Luo Xiaohan glanced at the handkerchief, at first he thought the pattern was painted on, but when he picked it up, it turned out that it was embroidered with thread thinner than a hair, and the front and back were both so delicate, as expected in the corner of the silk handkerchief. A special spirit character embroidered with white silk thread is very delicate.

"Lingxiu was extinct a few years ago. Now this handkerchief is hard to find. It was a teacher's gift from Grandma Zhong."

Luo Xiaohan returned the handkerchief to her, "Brother believes in you, you will go farther and better than Granny Zhong in the future"

Xiaoxue nodded heavily, "Yeah."

The winter in the south is very short. After March, Luo Xiaohan planted the vegetables so that there would be no shortage of time to harvest the vegetables for two seasons.

In the past few days, Luo Xiaohan has always felt a little uncomfortable at night. Although the weather is still cool, he is always hot and irritable and can't sleep. Sometimes there will be some transparent fishy liquid flowing out of his body, which is sticky and greasy, which makes him uncomfortable. Do not change underwear every day.

It's not easy for him to ask Xia Qingming about these things. Even if he doesn't understand, he also knows that this is not something he can ask a man, so he pulled Miao Ze closer to the room when he went to the store, and stammered about the time. He asked Miao Ze what happened, if he was sick or something.

Miao Ze looked at him with a strange expression for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing. Although Luo Xiaohan is young, he has always been calm in his life, and sometimes he is so calm that he is not like a person of his age. Listening to him today It took a long time to confirm that this Luo Xiaohan is indeed a child.

"Brother Miao Ze, what are you laughing at? I'm fine." Luo Xiaohan tugged at his sleeve in embarrassment

"Fool, you are just mature." Miao Ze nodded on his forehead without caring about the distinction between master and servant.

Luo Xiaohan didn't care about these, anyway, he always treated Miao Ze like an older brother, and said confusedly: "Mature"

"Come on, let me tell you in detail." Miao Ze pointed to the chair in the room, and the two sat down together. Miao Ze thought for a while and said, "Xiao Han, you know that although sister and Shuang Er can have children, there are still some problems inside." Different"
