Rebirth Red Mansion Planting Farms

Both Zhou Fuxiang and Qiao'er were puzzled, so they smiled and said, "I don't know what your father ordered?"

Master Zhou got up and patted Zhou Fuxiang on the shoulder, thinking of Meng Tingfang's words that day, he seemed to be relieved and emotional, and sighed wistfully, "I, Zhou, was not talented in my life, and I got an only son like you when I was young. When you were young, you beat Guansha and Huamiao, and your mother and I hardly died. When you were six years old, you asked your husband to teach you to recognize the characters and write in Zhuer. Fortunately, you are a person who strives for success. After all, you have added glory to your ancestors. I didn't want you to refer to this township test. One is that the distance is far away, and the other is that, as Meng Xianggong said, the turmoil in the city is afraid of harming innocent people. It's just that the neighbors are watching our house from all sides, so I can't understand it. You hide it, since you said that the homework review is also limited, so this time it is just going out to relax. If you want to take the merit test, you have to wait another three to five years."

Zhou Fuxiang was silent and dejected, and Qiao'er couldn't speak, so the room became quiet for a while.Outside the study, the cicadas are singing and the bamboos are green and thick, slowly casting oblique shadows on the window screens, disordered like a state of mind.

Although Zhou Fuxiang didn't think he was greedy for fame and fame, but he had been studying for a long time, and he was talented at a young age, so he was unavoidably uninhibited.What's more, when he was roaming with his classmates and friends that day, when everyone talked about the unfairness of the imperial examination, he had a thought, determined to compare himself in the examination room, and to promote his ambition as a scholar.Unexpectedly, Master Zhou actually made him give up the idea of ​​taking the exam today, and he felt depressed.

Both of them sat there with their heads down, Master Zhou naturally understood what the two of them were thinking, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's still so childish, I'm just talking like this, who knows what will happen after that day, Besides, although you are smart, there are others who are smarter than you. How do you know that I am not worrying about it? One or two of you are drooping, and if your mother sees it, she will think that I have criticized you again. Yes. After being out for a while, it’s time to go back and read a book.”

Zhou Fuxiang hurriedly got up with Qiao'er and said yes, then they came out of Master Zhou's study together.Along the way, he whispered: "Do you think the city is really about to change? Scientific research is the foundation of state affairs, and now people are panicking."

Qiao'er thought of the two princes of Heguo who were hiding in the countryside, and guessed that what Meng Tingfang said that day was true, so she had to tell Zhou Fuxiang, so she said in a low voice: "The former emperor, Fuze Mianzuo, has been in the reserve for many years now. There are also five years, and I am afraid that it is older than our master. I have heard a lot about diligence and encouragement, the world is too big to be seen at a glance, and the affairs of the world are hard to describe. It’s reasonable to say that it’s not good, but it’s not necessarily true if there are changes in the city.”

"Do you think so too?" Zhou Fuxiang smiled warmly, turned his head and said, "It's exactly the same as what I saw."

Qiaoer smiled, noncommittal, and went back to the Xilv Pavilion with him, only reading books every day.Time passed by like a white horse, and soon it was the beginning of August. Mrs. Zhou was worried because she heard some words from Master Zhou, so she brought someone to help Zhou Fuxiang prepare clothes, bedding, food, etc. The blue and number curtains are ready.When she asked who went with Zhou Fuxiang from outside, Qing Ping replied with a smile: "There are two long followers, two servants, and two wives."

Mrs. Zhou asked who the chief follower was, who was the servant, who was the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, etc. Qing Ping replied one by one: "One of the two long followers is my brother's uncle, Zheng Yue, and the other is Mrs. Zheng." It's Huo Zhenhuo, who is in charge of the second door, and the third master Huo Zhenhuo. His two wives always say that they are safe and generous, and it is cheaper to get some food and lodging on the way. There are two other servants, Sier Wuer and Lu My son is young and mischievous, so I dare not let him go out with me, for fear of causing trouble." Mrs. Zhou heard this, nodded in agreement, and ordered her to continue talking.

Qing Ping said: "There are two more daughter-in-laws, one from Uncle Zheng's family and the other from Mr. Huo's family. They are very mature. They can take care of my brother's changing and washing along the way."

Madam Zhou suddenly smiled and said, "That's not right."

Qing Ping hurriedly said: "What's wrong, Madam, please tell me."

Mrs. Zhou quickly said: "Since they are husband and wife, they must be tired of being together. My brother is young, and he doesn't understand these personnel things at first. No one can teach him badly. Think about it carefully. Send someone there."

Qing Ping smiled and said in embarrassment: "How good is this, my brother's wet nurse, Mama Deng, just caught a cold and was afraid of being adopted by my brother, so she went home to recuperate early in the morning. The others are young and don't know the details, how about this People who are rooted in the family are careful."

Mrs. Zhou listened to what she said in a clear and logical way, with love and pain at the same time, she took Qingping's hand and patted it with a smile: "My good boy, it's hard for you to think so thoughtfully for me, it's better than the tangerines that day." In fact, I have something in my heart, I'm afraid you won't say it, but I never mentioned it."

Qing Ping has a clever mind, after listening to what she said, she vaguely understood, she still smiled and said: "The madam doesn't treat the slave as an outsider, the slave is too late to be grateful, what else is there to say, madam just say it .”

Mrs. Zhou liked it even more, and said: "I think since others are not at ease, you might as well go with brother, and bring Mingyue from brother's room. She is also a mature and prudent child. She has been with me in the past I don’t know how much thought has been saved on my brother’s side. Although I’m here without you, the mediation will be inappropriate for a while, but as long as my brother’s side is good, I’m satisfied. Look, is this going to work?”

Seeing that what she said was exactly what she had expected, and that it was not a big deal, Qing Pingguo agreed with a smile, and said that she was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.Mrs. Zhou hurriedly said that she could not find a suitable person anymore, so she asked Qingping to go to Xuhui Court and call Mingyue.Qing Ping hadn't gone far, Madam Zhou thought of someone again, and asked someone to stop her.Xueli Hongying shouted at the back for sister Qingping to come back. Qingping had just walked away, but when she heard the call from behind, she had to turn back, smiled and said, "Madam, what else can I order?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Nothing else, I just want to ask you, why didn't Brother Qiao follow?"

Qing Ping asked, she thought to herself that Qiao'er is originally a girl's family, although she pretends to be a boy and shows up to the public every day, but at the end of the day she goes back, she never shows her flaws.If he went out with Zhou Fuxiang to rush for the exam at this time, the two of them played well, and it was inevitable that they would sleep and eat together on the way, if Zhou Fuxiang saw the signs, it would be bad.He politely declined for her and said: "My brother still has three or four acres of land to work on, and his grandma needs to take care of him, so I'm afraid I won't be able to leave."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said: "That's not the case. He didn't have three or four acres of land just now, and he never said that he was asked to go back to help. As for Grandma Liu, when she came earlier, she seemed to have a strong body. Very, unlike a person who is old and frail, there is no reason to ask him to take care of it. Don’t talk to him about this, don’t you want to call Mingyue, just call my brother along the way, just say I let him bring some Take things back to grandma."

Seeing that there is nothing she can do, Qing Ping nods her head helplessly, and goes to Xuhui Court to find Mingyue and Qiaoer.Because there are outsiders by her side, Qing Ping is not convenient for Qiaoer to talk too much, she just thinks how to help her get rid of this job later.

When they arrived in front of Mrs. Zhou's door, the three of them went in one after another. Mrs. Zhou smiled and asked Mingyue how the maids were doing, and if they were stealing words, then she changed the subject and wrote lightly: "I asked you to come here for no other reason. , I just see that you are a child who knows the rules and rules, and you have always paid attention to things. My brother is rushing to take the exam recently, and I am afraid that he will have to travel for a while. Have you made arrangements for your room?"

Mingyue hurriedly said: "It's been arranged. After my brother left, we only work in the house every day. If anyone goes to each room to find sisters to play, we should let us know in advance, in case we can't find anyone. We will wait for Aunt Guo at the end of the day." After the inspection, the courtyard door was closed, and the key was still left with me, so that they could go to bed early, lest people say that if the uncle is not in the house, the world will be turned upside down, and it is our fault."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "You think well, but don't leave the key with you, just hand it over to Danyang, I have other things to share with you here. Brother, there is no one around who knows the cold and the hot, I think You have always taken care of me carefully, why don't I ask you to go with us Qingping, our companions on the road can not only take care of the uncle but also take care of each other."

Mingyue was still thinking about this matter yesterday, and now she was in the middle of her heart, she agreed with a smile, and stepped aside.Mrs. Zhou looked at Qiao'er again and said, "How is brother's family recently?"

Qiaoer smiled and said, "Everything is fine at home."

Mrs. Zhou said: "Then, are you still living at grandma's house these days?"

Qiao'er nodded and said yes, Madam Zhou smiled, beckoned him to come closer, stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "Good boy, I just lied to you when I said I would send something to your grandma, I'm afraid Tell the truth, my brother is not serious about studying, so I must follow. Since you are here now, I will tell you, I called you to see that you and my brother are brothers, you are young and stable, and I That child is just as distressing, so I think it's better for you to accompany my brother to Beijing to catch the exam. On the way, I told them to treat you like a brother. You only need to read and write with my brother every day. Just look at it Ok?"

Qiao'er was stunned for a moment, she was also thinking the same as Qingping, if she wanted to go, she would have to sleep and eat together, not to mention whether she would show her feet, just based on her temperament, she definitely couldn't make a man and a woman sleep together If it's a matter, I instinctively decline it politely, and hurriedly said: "I'm afraid I can't do it, it's hard to talk about it with my grandma at home, and I can't go away."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Just now Qingping told me the same thing, and I just said I don't believe it, and you came to coax me again. Why is it hard to talk to your grandma? If you don't talk to me, I will ask someone to talk to her It's the same. If you're worried about farming and mulberry in the fields, there are two idlers in our village, and it's okay to ask them to help your family. What's wrong with you, bro?"
