Early spring in the world [farming]

For Lu Shi, it is normal for Gu Ping, in northern Jiangsu, to either practice in his room or go out to make fertilizers during this period of time. I care about it.

Lu was worried that something had happened to Tan Ruyi, but she didn't want to admit it, so she asked Mu Xiuxiu to go and see if she was being lazy.

Mu Xiuxiu wanted to go to Lu Shi and stopped her: "Forget it, I'll go by myself!"

Mu Xiuxiu: "..."

She followed Lu Shi gossipingly and came to Tan Ruyi's room. Lu Shi ordered her to knock on the door: "Ask, what's the situation."

Mu Xiuxiu complied and the sound of knocking on the door finally woke up Su Bei Gu and Tan Ruyi.

Looking at the light coming in from the window, Tan Ruyi panicked and said, "Oops, I overslept and forgot to wake up Auntie."

If it weren't for this sentence, people would think that their adultery was discovered!

Su Bei Gu supported his dizzy head and comforted him: "Mother won't blame you, I'll help you explain the situation to Mother."

Noticing her movements, Tan Ruyi's fake panic turned into real panic: "Are you still not getting better? No, please ask the doctor to see it!"

Su Beigu didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, and her anxiety was gradually eased under the clear eyes.

"Cough sister Aqin, wash and dress up slowly, I'll go out to see my mother first." Su Bei Gu Yi pointed out that she got up, put on her Taoist robe, tied the belt casually, and went out.

Tan Ruyi lowered her head and realized that it really took a while for her to dress up with only her belly wiped on her face, her face flushed slightly.When she washed and dressed to go out, Lu Shi didn't bother to ask her why she got up so late, and pulled Su Bei Gu with a concerned expression: "Are you really okay?"

"Sister Aqin took care of me overnight last night, and I'm fine." Su Bei Gu said.

Lu Shi turned her head and said to Tan Ruyi: "Thank you for your hard work, and your complexion is not very good. I think you were tired last night, right? Why don't you go back to sleep after eating breakfast?"

Tan Ruyi didn't mind at all that it was because of Su Beigu that Mrs. Lu greeted her. She smiled and said, "I don't work hard. The most important thing is that Beigu is fine."

A strange feeling crossed Su Beigu's heart again. She looked at Tan Ruyi, as if trying to figure out what it was like.

"Don't go anywhere today, take a good rest at home, whether it's in a daze or making tea, as long as it's not labor-intensive, you can do anything." Lu Gu said to Su Bei.

Su Bei thought that the effect of the formation would not appear so soon, so she was not in a hurry, and simply stayed at home according to Lu Shi's wishes.

Su Beigu, who was taking care of her body, was not idle, and was thinking about her formation on paper when she had time, but the formation formula that used to be drawn very smoothly was a bit stagnant at this moment.For a moment, she didn't know whether it was because of her body or something wrong with her Taoism.

Just when she stopped writing and meditating, Lu Shi saw her door was open and came in. Seeing the unintelligible characters on the table, she said distressedly and unhappy: "Didn't I say don't do such troublesome things?" Did it happen? How much energy and energy does it take to draw a talisman?!"

Su Beigu: "..."

Her mother wouldn't think it was a spell, would she?

Su Beigu lowered his head to look at the characters on the paper... although it does look a bit like a spell.

Su Beigu explained: "Mother, this is not a spell."

Lu said: "Mother understands!"

Isn't it because I am afraid of being scolded that I dare not admit it!She understands it all!

Lu said: "It happens that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, I'll stick it on the door!"

Su Beigu: "..."

You don't look like you understand.

Lu Shi happily took these formation formulas out and asked Mu Xiuxiu to stick them on the gate.

Tan Ruyi passed by, so she also leaned over to watch the excitement: "Auntie, is this the 'charm' drawn by Bei Gu?"

"Yes! How did you find out?" Lu said.

After all, this "talisman" is different from the ones drawn by other Taoist priests. There are too few people who can recognize it as a spell. If she is not smart, she would not be able to tell that it is a spell!

Tan Ruyi smirked, what Su Beigu drew was a spell!This familiar character is most likely related to the "array".

Speaking of which, Su Beigu, who was so devoted to cultivation and was a little interested in mentioning formations, would give this thing to Mrs. Lu and let him stick it on the door?Does this mean that formation and practice are not what she cares most about, and she can start to hold other emotions in her heart?

Tan Ruyi said: "This 'charm' is painted in the shape of Pixiu, and Pixiu is an auspicious beast. It can not only bless blessings but also ward off evil spirits. If it is pasted on the door, the momentum will come out immediately."

When Lu heard this, he was very happy.

Su Bei Gu Po, who came out to see the situation, raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: What a brave, she is too good at fooling people.

But seeing that Lu believed it was true, she did not expose Tan Ruyi.

Tan Ruyi turned her head to meet Su Beigu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She was not at all afraid, but instead winked at Su Beigu and asked with a smile, "Am I right? Beigu."

Su Beigu's lips curled up into an inconspicuous curve, and he said with a slight smile: "Sister Ah Tan's words are beautiful, and it will have its original form in the future."

She didn't admit Tan Ruyi's words, but she didn't deny them either. She followed Tan Ruyi's words and decided to explain these characters to the outside world as the original forms of various auspicious beasts.After all, no one has ever seen Ruishou. This is the image of Ruishou in her imagination. Tiandao can't say that she lied, can he?

Mrs. Lu didn't understand the meaning of Su Bei Gu's words, but Tan Ruyi did, but she pretended not to understand, and happily discussed with Mr. Lu to use peach wood to carve this "Pixiu" instead of this piece of paper Hang it by the door of the house so that it will not be damaged when it rains.

Lu felt that this was a good idea, and was about to find a craftsman, when Tan Ruyi volunteered to take on the "errand" and said, "Auntie, I also have some carving skills, why don't you let me have a try?"

Although Tan Ruyi's hands usually carve coffins with more decorations, it is rare for Lu Shi to be picky this time, and he readily agreed to her: "Then it will be hard work for you, bride."

He called out Su Beigu again, "Beigu, help me if you are free!"

Anyway, instructing Tan Ruyi to carve mahogany is not a troublesome task, so it would be perfect for Su Bei Gu to do it.

So when Tan Ruyi found a suitable peach tree and came back, and sat under the hibiscus tree in the courtyard, concentrating on carving, Su Beigu sat on the recliner next to him, shaking his cattail fan lightly, while staring in a daze, and occasionally glanced at Tan Ruyi. Take a look to see if there is anything that needs help.

However, when it comes to sculpting, Tan Ruyi really doesn't need her help and guidance. Tan Ruyi who is in the working state is similar to her when she was practicing, and she is a little selfless.And compared to her usual cautious appearance, her expression was focused and serious, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, the lines of Sichuan characters were faintly twisted between her brows, and her thin pink lips were also slightly pursed, which was quite unique.

Look at those skillful hands, they are strong and powerful while holding the carving knife without looking clumsy. On the contrary, no matter how fine the lines are, they can appear smooth and silky under her carving knife.

The sharp carving knife echoes the shallow scars on her knuckles, telling the story of her suffering and persistence on this road.

The emotion in Su Bei Gu's heart was like the spring rain that "moisturizes everything silently", quietly rippling.

In the early summer afternoon, the breeze was blowing, and the shadows of the trees were dancing. Su Beigu squinted his eyes in comfort, and became more sleepy.

After Tan Ruyi finished carving a pair of mahogany, she suddenly realized that the people beside her hadn't moved for a long time. She couldn't help but looked up, only to find that Su Beigu's head was slightly tilted to this side, with his left hand resting on the armrest, and his right hand holding a palm leaf fan placed on the table. Stomach, and fell asleep comfortably.

The breeze gently caressed her hanging scarf, rolled up her sleeves, and the hem of the skirt swayed quietly, but all of this was not enough to wake her up from An Tian's sleep.

Tan Ruyi walked up to Su Beigu's side, squatted down, and looked at her face carefully. Suddenly, a beam of light passed through the gaps in the leaves and landed on Su Beigu's face.

Worried that the light would wake Su Beigu, Tan Ruyi raised her hand to block it.The sore hand that had been carved for a long time became more sore and weak after lifting it for a long time, and even sweat broke out on her forehead, but she still had no intention of withdrawing her hand.

When Su Beigu opened his eyes, what he saw was a slightly trembling hand.

"Sister Ah Qin?" Su Bei was surprised.

Tan Ruyi withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "You're awake!"

Without missing her small movement of shaking her arm quietly, Su Bei Gu Renjun couldn't help but got up and let her sit on the recliner, and then moved the bench that belonged to her over and sat down, saying: "Give me your hand."

Tan Ruyi hesitated, put her hand on the armrest, and Su Beigu gently rubbed her hand a few times.

This level of force can't achieve the effect of relaxing meridians and activating collaterals, but Su Beigu is not pressing randomly, but quietly pouring a little spiritual energy along her acupuncture points.

Tan Ruyi felt her arms were sore and numb, and goosebumps popped out. She subconsciously let out a soft moan, and immediately bit her lower lip to prevent herself from making a similar sound.

Fortunately, Su Beigu didn't cast a strange look at her because of this groan.

Su Bei consulted her: "Is sister Aqin's arm still sore?"

Tan Ruyi came back to her senses, raised her arm, and found that the soreness was almost gone!Seeing that Su Beigu's temples were slightly wet, she asked, "Did you use some magical powers again? You are still sick, and you use magical powers indiscriminately, don't you want to get better?"

Su Beigu covered up the lie with a smile: "No, it's just an ordinary massage. As long as the technique is proper and the acupuncture points can be found, it can have such an effect."

Tan Ruyi was skeptical, so she quickly got up and asked her to return to her exclusive recliner. Taking advantage of the pain in her arms and her whole body seemed to be full of vitality, she carved another pair of peach wood boards.

When a pair of peach wood boards were carved, Tan Ruyi showed them to Lu Shi, and Lu Shi was very happy with what she saw, so she hurriedly asked her to hang them on both sides of the door.

Neighbors who came and went quickly noticed the new changes at the door of Su's house. When they saw Mrs. Lu, they asked casually: "Is there a peach charm hanging by this door? It's a little different from ordinary peach charms. Is there anything special about it?" ?”

Lu Shi said: "This is the Pixiu painted by my family's Bei Gu, do you know about it? It can attract good fortune and ward off evil spirits. This pair of peach wood boards are carved out by brides. Isn't it coming to the Dragon Boat Festival? Hang this on the occasion."

When the other party heard this, his eyes lit up: "Can you trouble your daughter-in-law to engrave a pair for our family?"

Lu said: "No problem."

She led the neighbor to find Tan Ruyi, and the neighbor offered a generous price and said, "How about I buy you a pair for the price of peach charms?"

This neighbor is Lu Shi's good sister in the village. Her husband and Su Deng are brothers, so it's really hard for Tan Ruyi to refuse.

So for Lu's sake, she agreed.

For some reason, more and more people found out about this, and they all forgot about Tan Ruyi's "bad luck", and came to ask her for carvings one after another.

Seeing that the date for completing the order would be beyond the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Beigu asked Mrs. Lu to decline the others, and said that if they really wanted talismans, she would draw them for them, even though her talisman drawing skills were not good enough. how.

The neighbors heard that although the talisman paper drawn was not as long as peach talismans, their family background did not support them spending money to carve so many peach talismans!Worse than a piece of paper.And once the Dragon Boat Festival is over, this talisman won't be of much use.

They were happy, but Lu Shi was not very happy, thinking that it would be very sad for Su Bei Gu to draw so many talismans.But after all, this is the trouble she brought back. After she reflected on it, she blocked all the people who came to ask for talismans again, and the enthusiasm of everyone asking for talismans gradually subsided.

Tan Ruyi carved mahogany for several days. Although it was hard work, she also made a small fortune.She originally planned to hand over the money to Mrs. Lu, but the latter said, "You deserve it, so you can keep it yourself! My Su family is not so poor that I need my daughter-in-law's money."

Although Lu Shi's tone was still a little arrogant, her attitude towards Tan Ruyi had improved significantly in the past few days.In addition to Tan Ruyi's actions made her feel the dignity of her parents, she also saw Tan Ruyi being accepted by the neighbors, so she was naturally more satisfied with Tan Ruyi.

In this atmosphere of increasingly harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the Dragon Boat Festival is here, and Tanzhou has also entered the season of "dragon boat water".

During the Dragon Boat Festival in previous years, Mrs. Lu would go out with Sunancheng to watch the dragon boat race. However, this year, Mr. Sunancheng was not at home and there were frequent thunderstorms. Because they were worried about the north of Jiangsu, Mrs. Lu and Tan Ruyi gave up the idea of ​​going out and chose to stay at home to eat zongzi .

Su Beigu persuaded them not to worry about themselves, but they couldn't persuade them. It happened that the formation of the ice cellar had been activated for several days, and the water stored in the ice cellar had already condensed into ice, so she took part of it for Lu Shi and Tan Ruyi to cool off .

Mrs. Lu only knew that Su Beigu had cleaned the ice cellar some time ago, but she didn't know what she used it for. When she took out the ice, she asked in surprise, "Where did these ice come from?"

She was at home all day, if the ice cubes were brought back from outside, it was impossible for her not to know!

Su Bei Gudao: "The ice condensed with [Icing Formation], and part of it is the ice condensed by me in cold water. This part of the ice can be eaten directly."

Lu Shi: "..."

She knew every word, but why couldn't she understand all the words together?

"What array is it?"

Tan Ruyi said to Lu Shi dumbfoundingly: "[Icing Formation] is actually what Taoist priests say when they use saltpeter to make ice. Simply put, these ices are all made with saltpeter."

Lu Shi understood, and was a little curious: "Saltpeter, where did you get the saltpeter?"

There is a mine in Tanzhou, and the saltpeter naturally comes from the mine, but what Lu Shi wants to know is not where the saltpeter is produced, she just wants to know how Su Bei Gu got the saltpeter.

Saltpeter is one of the raw materials for making gunpowder. Like many minerals, it can only be bought and sold with official quotations. To make a large amount of ice cubes, not only the process is troublesome, but also a large amount of saltpeter is required.The saltpeter that ordinary people can come into contact with is generally used as a small amount for medicinal purposes, and Taoist priests do not use a lot of saltpeter for alchemy, so even for Su Beigu, it may not be easy to get enough saltpeter to make ice.

Tan Ruyi didn't expect Lu Shi to know how much saltpeter is needed to make ice. She glanced at Su Beigu guiltily, who smiled and said, "Mother, I have my own way, but it's not appropriate to publicize this matter." .”

Lu Shi nodded vigorously. Bei Gu's ability to get so much saltpeter shows that she is powerful, but in order to avoid causing trouble, she should conceal this news.Thanks to the simple population of the Su family, a lot of news is not easy to leak out.

With ice, Lu Shi has even more reasons not to go out. She bought some sorbets and chilled them on ice. After eating rice dumplings, she felt tired and ate two pieces of cold and refreshing sorbets. If there were not fewer people serving her, She must feel that she has returned to the rich and luxurious days when Suden was alive.

Just remembering the good times in the past, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Sister, are you at home?"

But seeing a middle-aged man walking in swaggeringly, Mu Xiuxiu tried her best to run ahead of him, and said to Lu Shi: "My lady, Mr. Lu Erlang is here."

The person who came was Lu Yu, the second elder brother of the Lu family.

Since Su Deng was killed and the Su family lost the advantage of being an official household, the two elder brothers of the Lu family were afraid that their land under the name of the Lu family would be divided up by members of the Su family, so they proposed to take back their land.

Lu Shi was suffering from the loss of her husband at the time, so she didn't care about it, so they can take it back if they want, after all, she doesn't want her brother's assets.

However, Su Nancheng felt that his uncles were snobbish. When the Su family was powerful, they would attach themselves to the Su family; When they can't afford it, they are not willing to borrow money, and they have to use the remaining land as collateral to borrow money. Such calculations, how can they look like relatives?

Sunancheng saw through them, and Lu Shi also felt resentful towards them, so he tore up his face with them.

Since then, although the Lu family and the two brothers of the Lu family still have contacts, the relationship has weakened a lot.

People who haven't had much contact with each other for a long time, why come here suddenly?

The author has something to say:

Susu: Sister-in-law, does this mean that a deer is a horse?

Although this article is slow to heat up, I don't want to miss the bits and pieces of life between the protagonists, the relationship that develops over time, and the small details of getting along.

The scumbag brother is actually a background board, and the map will definitely not go to Jianzhou.
