little fool's child bride

When Xiao Xiao arrived in Youcheng, the small white flowers of cotton had already withered, and there were small green fruits hanging from the branches.Xiao Xiao was worried for a long time before that there were no bees to pollinate, and then she worriedly took the dogtail grass to pollinate herself, and now Xiao Xiao was relieved when the fruit came to fruition.Still hearing Wu Lin's voice, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but lament that this man is actually an invisible chatterbox, and he never stopped talking all the way.

"Let's talk about it, it's the same to ask that little official to go. We just go back to Xiangcheng to prepare, and then we can plant it directly!" We are almost in Youcheng, and Wu Lin still can't understand why they insist on it. Can't come, complain to Xiao Xiao.

"First, I don't intend to tell the little official what this is. Second, he has no right to speak, so what he says may not be listened to." Xiao Xiao didn't care about Wu Lin's completely different attitude towards him and Jiang Muyu, "Three It’s just that this Youcheng is only theoretically suitable for growing cotton, if there is any problem, this little official can’t take responsibility, I don’t want to let a year’s hard work go to waste.”

Wu Lin was just complaining because he was afraid that Jiang Muyu would blame him. Seeing Xiao Xiaozhen explaining to him seriously, he felt a little embarrassed.Although he has become Jiang Muyu's personal soldier, Wu Lin has never been proud and complacent, and only feels ashamed because he is not as good as some of the elites under him.Xiao Xiao, who is admired by thousands of people, he respects and admires even more. Now such a person not only does not blame himself for overreaching, but even explains the reason for himself to do so, so Wu Lin is inevitably at a loss.

"Didn't we say that Mr. is not good..." Wu Lin stammered out the words from his mouth, and then blushed and couldn't say another word.

Xiao Xiao looked at this young man not much older than Jiang Muyu with a funny face, then reached out and patted his head.

"I know you are worried about the danger I will encounter. After all, the longer you stay outside, the higher the possibility of danger," Xiao Xiao said softly, "But you forgot that I visited Master Zhao a few days ago? They gave me a lot of bottles and cans, and I think self-protection is okay."

Wu Lin didn't think those poisons were useful, after all, the enemy wouldn't just stand around waiting for Xiao Xiaoyang to smack him with powder.But this time he didn't refute, he just thought in his heart that he would protect this person well.

In a few days, Xiao Xiao and Wu Lin arrived at Liu Yuhen's farm and waited for someone to receive them.Xiao Xiao was embarrassed and nervous, but luckily the person who came was not Liu Yuhen, but Liu Yi.The two were familiar with each other, and Xiao Xiao knew Liu Yi's character, so she didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked to see the cotton field in the farm.

"White mulberries are only planted on one acre, and the leader has already collected cotton from Youcheng and two nearby cities, some of which were specially sent to the leader by others," Liu Yi pointed at the field in front of him, "But I don't know why. , These cottons are not growing well, and many of them are slowly falling off."

Xiao Xiao thought of the pests for a moment, and fell to the ground in shock.However, after checking, no other characteristics of the insects were found, and the stone in my heart fell.After observing carefully again, he stood back on the ridge of the field and said to Liu Yi: "The land is not fertile enough, have the branches been pruned and studded, so the growth is not good."

Xiao Xiao explained to them how to plant in detail. Thanks to the small officials who went to listen to the explanation every day, everyone admired her for her eloquence.The farmers didn't know that this was the legendary Mr. Xiao. They were disappointed when they saw a white and tender boy, but now they found out that he was an expert, so they all looked at Xiao Xiao with surprised eyes.There was the one who had followed Xiao Xiao to burn locusts last year, only to find out Xiao Xiao's identity after a careful look, and they whispered to each other for a while.

After knowing Xiao Xiao's identity, the farmers dispelled the last trace of doubt in their hearts, and decided to work hard with Xiao Xiao.Liu Yi originally wanted to speak after realizing that people's hearts were fluctuating, but when he saw that they were looking in the same direction, he nodded in satisfaction.Taking Xiao Xiao to the arranged farmyard, Liu Yi explained to everyone that Zhuangzi turned around and left after listening to Xiao Xiao's management, without even saying the time of the next meeting.Wu Lin was dissatisfied now, and after the courtyard door was closed, he complained to Xiao Xiao:

"This leader Han is too rude! Don't say that he came to see us in person, but this subordinate threw us here and left. Is this the way people in the Jianghu treat guests?"

Xiao Xiao naturally knew why, but he didn't want to tell this kid about his grievances with Leader Han. When Jiang Muyu found out, it would only add fuel to the fire.So he made a haha ​​and perfunctoryly said: "Don't people say that people in the Jianghu are straight and straightforward, besides, a leader must be very busy, how can he have the time to meet a small person like me."

"Mr. is not a small person." Wu Lin had long regarded Xiao Xiao as a powerful existence like his boss, so he was very dissatisfied with the cold treatment he received.

"We finally found someone who was willing to plant a large amount of cotton. We asked him, so the status was unequal from the beginning. How can we complain about such trivial things as unfair treatment?" Xiao Xiao said with a smile, "Besides, it's not It's considered unfair treatment, we are considered external technicians, and our status is a little bit higher than those farmers, so it's possible that we can only be satisfied if we live in the Han family's Zhuangzi?"

What Xiao Xiao said was also reasonable, but Wu Lin still felt wronged by Xiao Xiao, after all, he is a world-renowned gentleman.There are many gentlemen in this world, but how many statues are built for him like Xiao Xiao?Without Xiao Xiao, I don't know what Bai Yu would be like!

But then again, since Xiao Xiao wasn't dissatisfied, Wu Lin, the follower, stopped complaining.The two lived in this small courtyard safely, and Xiao Xiao began to renovate the cotton field the next day.

There are other crops planted in the farm, but they have already grown, so Xiao Xiao can't give any guidance.But as far as his level is concerned, apart from cotton, a crop that everyone doesn't understand, there is really nothing comparable to these farmers who have been plowing all year round, so Xiao Xiao's life suddenly became leisurely, and he only had to take care of the cotton field every day. , so that it doesn't go wrong.

In the next few months, Liu Yuhen still didn't show up, only Liu Yi came a few times and helped Xiao Xiao buy a lot of things.Later, the cotton changed little by little to what Xiao Xiao remembered. On the day of picking, almost all the farmers came out to watch curiously, wanting to know what kind of things the elders like.

Seeing Xiao Xiao take out the white catkins, he followed Xiao Xiao cleverly, asking Xiao Xiao what he was going to do with it while picking it up.The past few months of getting along has already let them know that this Mr. Xiao is approachable, and he dares to ask anything he doesn't understand, instead of shrinking in the face of the owner.Seeing the cotton growing every day, they had long wanted to ask clearly, but now seeing that Xiao Xiao was in a good mood, they boldly asked.

"This cotton is very useful, among other things, if it is spun into cloth, this winter will be much easier!" Xiao Xiao excitedly felt the touch of cotton, thinking that she would make cotton-plucking utensils as soon as possible. , so that you can use the quilt this winter.

The farmers suddenly realized when they heard Xiao Xiao's words. They thought that this thing was very similar to silk, and it turned out that it was really used for weaving to keep out the cold.It's just that these people think that this cloth must have nothing to do with them. After all, white mulberry itself is extremely precious, so how cheap is the cloth woven from white mulberry?It's just that Xiao Xiao's next sentence surprised them——

"If this cotton cloth appears, no one will freeze to death in this white jade within three years." Xiao Xiao held the light cotton in her hand and felt that the responsibility weighed heavily on her body. "The cotton cloth must be spun out and presented to the court as soon as possible. It can save some poor people from dying in the cold winter."

The farmers didn't expect the white mulberry to be so important, and they were stunned for a moment.The man who picked the flowers out of curiosity and came to smell them showed remorse, he was really harmful!None of the farmers doubted that what Xiao Xiao said was true or false, because they got along with each other these days so that they knew that Xiao Xiao would not lie.So they looked at the blossoming cotton with heavy eyes, afraid that they would ruin such a great thing.

"I remember that Uncle Zhang used to be a carpenter?" Xiao Xiao called a simple and honest man to her side, "Help me make something, it's very simple, I guess it can be made in less than a day..."

Three days later, Xiao Xiao moved the loom sent by Liu Yi to the open space in the center of the farm, and asked an aunt with a relatively good hand to try whether she could spin the thread.I told my aunt the key points of knitting that I remembered, and my aunt's hands trembled, and then she started spinning according to her own understanding.The thread that was rubbed out was not too thin, but Xiao Xiao knew that it was already very good, so she rewarded the woman heavily.My aunt's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high, so within a few days she came to Xiao Xiao with a piece of cotton cloth in her arms.

In addition to the aunt, there are two young daughter-in-laws, and I don't know if they are the daughter-in-law of the aunt.The three of them talked to Xiao Xiao with some embarrassment about their experience, how to research the cotton thread that was much thinner than the first time, and how to weave it into a piece of cloth.Xiao Xiao was overjoyed, so she asked Wu Lin to gather all the peasant women into her yard, and then asked the three of them to teach them skills.Therefore, in less than a month, the cotton in this acre of land turned into a quilt and was sent to Liu Yuhen, and the rest was reserved for seeds to be planted next year.

Cotton has high requirements on soil fertility, so paddy and dry rotation is necessary, that is, rice and cotton are planted in rotation.Xiao Xiao asked people to pull out the remaining cotton in the field, and then stockpiled water to make rice fields.After Liu Yuhen saw the quilts, he asked all the farms to reserve fields to grow cotton. Xiao Xiao gave Liu Yuhen a summary of the observation diaries of cotton planting these days, and then went around to each farm to teach the art of cotton planting. .
