Farmer Fubo is open for business

With such a boss, what can Song Erxiao do? They had to leave three boys and one girl behind.

The next step is to arrange a place for the teenagers to live.

Fortunately, the courtyard where King Yan's grandson lived was still empty. It was originally used to entertain his superiors, but now the three young men are living there.

Song Erxiao knew these three children. The oldest was fifteen years old, named Tao Daqi, followed by Tao Erzhi, who was eleven years old and the grandson of the commander.

The youngest child is named Tao Tie, who is also the youngest son of the commander. He was born by a concubine but was raised in the name of his first wife. He is only seven years old this year. He has a handsome appearance, speaks clearly and clearly, is very mature, and is loved by the commander.

As for the little girl Tao Jiaojiao, it seemed that she was the child of the commander's step-wife, and Song Erxiao didn't know her.

In the evening, Song Erxiao prepared several banquets to entertain the commander and his entourage.

The banquet was held at Songheju where the young people lived. There were fish and meat on the banquet, as well as various vegetables grown in Chang'an, and white rice. It attracted several young people at once.

One of the dishes, stir-fried pork with pickled beans, was so spicy that it was hard to stop.

It is best for Mr. Zhang to be spicy. After eating this dish, he felt very novel. He asked in a hissing voice, "Qianhu, what is this made of? Why is it so spicy?"

It was even spicier than dogwood and pepper, and it was a taste he had never tasted before.

"Pepper." Song Erxiao said, "These are seeds I got from Hu Shang. My family has planted six acres of land. If Mr. Zhang likes it, he can pick some and take them back tomorrow."

Mr. Zhang smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he cupped his hands towards Song Erxiao: "That's a good relationship. I would like to thank you here."

The commander only ate one chopstick, but the spicy food made his lips and nose burn. He quickly had someone wash him with water several times before he felt better.

"This stuff is really poison." After drinking a few sips of water, he didn't dare touch the plate of sour beans again.

The teenagers had a great time eating, making fun of each other while eating.

"Look at your mouth turning into pig lips, haha!"

"Your mouth is like a pig's lips!"

The conductor glanced at his children and grandchildren calmly, and smiled at Mr. Zhang.

As long as the children have a happy time here, I feel relieved.

As time goes by, there will always be a young boy who catches his eye with the little girl.

In the official residence, Chang'an is also hosting a banquet to receive guests.

Eleven-year-old Tao Jiaojiao is not delicate in appearance. She has slender eyes, plump lips, and a square chin, just like Commander Tao, as if she was carved from the same mold.

Forget it, her skin color seems to have followed Tao's instructions and has a little wheat color.

I guess Tao Jiaojiao also realized that she was not pretty, so she dressed up as a young man, which made her look heroic and free-spirited.

During the meal, Tao Jiaojiao kept staring at Chang An, which made Chang An's back feel hairy.

"Chang'an, you are so beautiful, even more beautiful than the prince's wife in Prince Yan's palace." Tao Jiaojiao sincerely praised: "I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you."

Changan smiled: "You look good too."

"You're lying." Tao Jiaojiao said dissatisfied: "Don't say that in the future, I will be angry."

Chang An gave her a piece of roasted venison with chopsticks and said seriously: "I'm serious, if you don't believe me, I will help you dress up tomorrow."

Sister Yuyan once said that there is no ugly woman, as long as she is dressed properly, she will be beautiful.

Tao Jiaojiao is still young, and her face has not yet grown. If she were older and knew how to groom herself, she would definitely have a different kind of beauty.

Just like Wang Pingting, although her appearance is not beautiful, she is stunning every time she appears.

"How to comb it?" Tao Jiaojiao was curious.

Chang'an picked up a small piece of watermelon and ate it, and the old god said: "You will know when the time comes."

Tao Jiaojiao expressed disbelief, but the smile on her lips already revealed her mood.

After the dinner, Lian Xin took Tao Jiaojiao to take a bath.

Chang'an hired someone to build a bathhouse in the yard. The walls of the house were all made of bluestone, and the floor was covered with a huge bluestone slab. It looked very clean.

There is a drainage ditch around the bluestone slab. If water splashes on the ground, it will then flow to the outlet at the corner of the house and lead directly to the outside.

There is also a bathtub on one side of the house, which is also carved from a single piece of stone. There are holes for drainage underneath. There is a large stove next to it, which can boil a lot of water at a time.

In winter, fill the bathtub with water and heat a large pot. The water in the pot is connected to the bathtub water. You can heat it as hot as you want.

This was the first time Tao Jiaojiao saw such a bathroom, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Your bathroom is so good, I will ask my mother-in-law to build one when I go back."

After taking a bath, Tao Jiaojiao and Chang An slept in the same room. Her two maids, Dongmei and Zhiqiu, insisted on sleeping on the floor in the room.

Chang'an tried to persuade them both but refused to listen, so they had no choice but to have someone send them a mat and burn a mosquito repellent incense.

Because the mosquitoes in the North are so frightening, they are all large-flowered mosquitoes, which are extremely poisonous. Chang'an's cheek was bitten once, which caused a big red bump and took several days to subside.

It's midsummer now, and the bed in Chang'an is covered with a mosquito net, so there's no fear of mosquito bites, but the two little maids sleeping on the floor are in dire straits. Even though the room is lit with mosquito coils, they still get bitten all over their faces.

"I have mint ointment here, you two take it and apply it on it." Chang'an crushed the mint he planted and handed it to the two maids. He advised: "In the future, you can sleep with Sister Lianxin and the others. The kang there is very big and the mosquito nets are there." It’s big enough for four of you to rest.”

Zhiqiu and Dongmei glanced at Tao Jiaojiao and saw that their master had no objection, so they whispered yes.

"Chang'an, let's go hunting today?" Tao Jiaojiao started to encourage Chang'an after finishing the morning meal.

She has practiced horseback riding and archery with her biological father since she was a child, and her temperament is as out-of-the-box as a boy.

When I was at home, I was under the control of my mother and was not allowed to do many things. Now that she comes out, she is like a wild horse running wild, wanting to go out and tease the little widow all over again.

"I don't have time." Chang'an said, "Besides, the mountains and forests are very dangerous now. I even heard about black bears coming out a while ago."

Tao Jiaojiao lowered her face, swung the small leather whip in her hand and said, "Why don't we take a few more people out?"

"Everyone is busy clearing land, and I have to make mung bean soup at noon, so I really don't have time." Chang An said helplessly: "Why don't you go ride a bicycle?"

"Okay!" Tao Jiaojiao was happy, and immediately ran out to find the bodyguards on guard, because each of the bodyguards had a bicycle.

As a result, no two-wheeled vehicle was found, only a three-wheeled vehicle was seen.

Tao Jiaojiao stared at the three wheels for a long time, wishing she could snatch them away immediately.

The guard who came back on a tricycle to transport tea felt very upset and said quickly: "Miss Tao, you can't move this tricycle. I will have to use it to haul mung bean soup to the fields later."

Tao Jiaojiao then looked away, snorted, and left pretending not to care.

In the kitchen, Hui Niang sat under the stove to light the fire, sweating profusely, wiping the sweat on her face with her sleeves from time to time.

Chang'an saw this and handed her a cattail leaf fan: "As long as there is a fire in the stove, you can go out and cool down."

Hui Niang smiled, took the cattail leaf fan and fanned it: "It's okay, it's not too hot."

Chang'an looked her over and asked hesitantly: "Aunt Hui, where are you from? Do you have family in Northern Xinjiang?"

Huiniang lowered her eyes and said softly: "The Nu family built a defensive wall on the border and lived in the capital before."

Chang'an understands.

Huiniang's family must be exiled criminals, and I don't know what they committed? Even the women were exiled to the frontier.

Chang'an stirred the mung beans in the large pot with a large spoon, put the lid back on, and turned around to see a seven or eight-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth standing at the door of the kitchen, staring at her blankly.

"Chang'an, come here, I have something to tell you." The little boy said.
