Smallholder Farmer

ps: The Internet is a bit of a mess today, it's troublesome!

The spring is very bright, and the scenery along the way is intoxicating, if the road is not so rough. Even the carriage designed by the palace is a shock. If you want to say what is the worst thing in ancient times, Yuyue thinks it is the road. Except for a few official roads that are smoother, the rest is just resignation. Yuyue has been away from Yongqing County for an hour, and she really doesn't want to let it go. The extra flowers were pulled out, and Pinellia stepped forward to tie his hair as a top. Then I tied it with a jade ring, and took a set of men's clothes with arrow sleeves to change into. Yuyue's women's clothes are different, but men's clothes are in various colors. This set is light blue, with black leather boots, What a handsome young man, Mother Pan and Mother Qing didn't care about her anymore, they sat comfortably in the carriage, Zeng Tou led a refreshed horse from the back of the team, the saddle and bridle were bright, Yu Yue turned over and rode on, Cheng Jiabao led a team of boys to follow Yuyue, and the Fan family's team to Beijing started again. This time, there were as many as 20 people in the nursing home brought by Yuyue. Bringing a team, the four major maids, and more than a dozen second-class inner court maids! They were all trained by Nanny Ding.

On the way, there was a meal cooked in a teahouse at noon, and Yuyue used up all the pots and utensils. Of course, the food eaten by the nurses was not bad at all, and the jerky was not fake. It is also easy to cook, and the instant noodles are cooked very quickly. After dinner, Zengtou led the team and walked along another road, not the original road to Jingli. This time, the Zhuangzi chosen by Mama Pan was the biggest and best Zhuangzi of Miss Gao. It's a bit far from the capital, close to the tip of Fengchi Mountain's wings, I heard that there are hot springs aside, the scenery of Zhuangzi is still very beautiful. Many families in Beijing have Zhuangzi nearby, just because there are good mountains and rivers. Pan's mother decided to take Yuyue for a good vacation. That's why I chose this Zhuangzi.

It was getting late and we were getting very close to Zhuangzi, but there were dark clouds billowing in the sky, and there were bursts of thunder, the day must have changed too fast!

"My lord. There is a Niangniang Temple in front, which is big enough and has a Zen room. Shall we go in to hide from the rain?" Zeng Tou quickly caught up with Yuyue and said loudly.

Yu Yue nodded her head: "Okay, let's talk about it after avoiding Cheng Yu!"

It will definitely not work if you don't hide from the rain. It is not a good thing for the carriage, the luggage pulled by the mule cart, etc. to be drenched in the rain. Yuyue drove the horse to speed up, and Cheng Jiabao went to the back to order the carriage to speed up and go to the temple to hide from the rain. Zengtou led the horse and rushed forward. This is the way ahead, and the temple of the empress is very prosperous. As soon as we turned on the path in front of the temple, we could smell a strong scent of incense. Such a strong wind didn't blow away, Zengtou was quick to do things, he quickly found temples and donated money for sesame oil, asked for three houses, and the place where the carriage was parked. Mother Pan waited and went straight to a room. The little novice monks in the temple had already turned on the fire, and the water boiled. Pan's mothers took out the tea set and made tea. Pinellia personally carried it and sent it to the outer hall for Yuyue to drink.

At this time, Yuyue was holding a horsewhip inlaid with rubies in his hand, followed by Zengtou and the guards, casually letting people see, it was the posture of a nobleman going out, Yuyue was drinking tea, while Looking at the silver rain curtain outside the main hall.

"Zengtou, what if the rain doesn't stop?"

"My lord, this rain comes and goes quickly, it should be passing rain!"

"At this time, such a heavy rain is really rare!" Qing's mother also came out to accompany Yu Yue, and she answered after hearing the two talking. The people blocked by the rain on the road were not just one or two families, but several passing by, piercing through the rain curtain and rushing in. It was a lady with a veil! Just when he was about to take off his veil, he saw a handsome young man looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help being stunned. He bent down and blessed him. Surrounded by girls and women, he walked to the other side. I think she is a bit old, otherwise she would be fine, call her a chick, and turn into a dandy!

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a soft low cry from inside, screaming like an oriole bird, this lady in silver brocade actually retreated back again, to Yuyue's surprise, it was actually a The old woman stretched out her claws at this young lady! This is an old lady with gray hair in a rosin-colored dress embroidered with exquisite swastika patterns. Her face is majestic and serious, and there are deep wrinkles at the corners of her mouth. There are still lines of Sichuan characters between the eyebrows, which makes Yuyue feel that the old lady has never laughed. How long does it take to get such deep wrinkles.

"Tear off your veil, let me see, quick!"

Although this young lady was drenched by the rain in the white brocade with silver and hundred flowers piercing the moon, but fortunately, the plain cloak with gold silk peony bottom blocked most of the rain, and she was not too embarrassed. After saying this, she immediately turned her head to look at Yuyue. When she was slightly out of breath, she looked even more fragile. I felt pity for her.

"My lord, this is..." Looking at this unusually dressed old woman, the two phoenix eyes glanced back and forth, emotionally recognizing the old and the young as a family.

Yuyue took a step back, and shook the whip twice in front of her, indicating that the old woman was not with her.

"Quick, quick, I think your figure looks like my grandson..."

Several strong servants supported the old woman, a housekeeper came forward, bowed to the young lady, and said something in a low voice, the young lady took off her veil and walked towards the old woman. A gift! Hastily walked towards the other rooms in the temple, seeing Yuyue's graceful gait, she sighed: What a beauty, what a pity...

Zeng Tou said something to Qing's mother, Qing's mother helped the somewhat perverted young master with her hand, and went into her guest room to rest. When Yuyue was about to leave, she heard the old lady murmuring: " My dear grandson, where have you been? Come back."

The sad voice made Yu Yue's heart tremble. Looking back, the old lady was sluggish, it seemed that she was in poor health. Yuyue couldn't help thinking, is this old lady the so-called dying old lady?

After raining for an hour, it finally stopped, and there was a sunset in the sky, which was too unfavorable. Zeng Tou arranged to pull the carriage on the road, but Yu Yue didn't ride the horse, but got into the carriage. The muddy water Lu, ride back on horseback, can't you become a clay figurine?

Behind her, there was also the sound of her family arranging to go on the road. Yuyue raised the curtain of the car and saw that the lady changed into a new dress and got into the carriage. There was indeed something wrong with this silver-red dress, a girl from a rich family. Zeng Tou rode over and said in a low voice, "My lord, let's set off!"

"Whose house is behind?"

"Duke Liu, now the Duke of the State, the carriage of Duke Liu's family!"

Yuyue changed her mind, that dead Princess Xian!

The carriage quickly rushed towards the manor. It was raining heavily. Fortunately, the road was paved with gravel, not much mud and few pits. arrived.

After walking for an hour and a half, the sky became dark and it was the end of Xu time. The manor had already known that the master was coming today, so everything was ready. Yuyue's carriage entered the private alley and drove faster. The road was smooth , all bluestone roads, natural driving is very convenient, according to Pan's mother, as long as you enter this road, you have entered the manor. All the houses were hung with lights, shining brightly all around. After walking for ten miles on this road, I saw the tall gate of the manor just now!

Steward Xu led the head of the village and servants from all over the place to guard the gate. There were about a hundred people. When they saw Yuyue's carriage coming in, they all knelt down to greet her. Even Steward Xu was ready to kneel. Mother Pan said as she got out of the car:

"Passing the words of the master and son, no courtesy, everyone get up and answer!"

Mother Qing placed the dismounting stool here, and Yuyue walked down, and she had already changed back into the women's clothes she went out with!

Someone from Zengtou had already come to lead the carriage to unload the goods. Pinellia, Honghua, etc. took paper and pens, pointed at the numbers on the boxes, and ordered the boxes to be put away temporarily. There were a few boxes with good characters, Immediately carried it into Yuyue's bedroom! Everyone is busy with their own affairs, in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Zhuangtou is a woman with a thick waist and broad arms, but she has a delicate mind. She has brought people along and prepared washed vegetables. She also boiled more than a dozen chickens in a casserole over a slow fire, and chopped fish soaked in blood. , tofu, shiitake mushrooms, etc., are all finely cleaned, packed in bamboo baskets, and covered with fine white cloth. Immediately ask Mother Pan what to do for dinner? When she came out this time, Yuyue brought Mrs. Zhou who was cooking, and Mother Pan asked Mrs. Zhou to take a rest and cook the girl's meals. As for the nursing homes and more than twenty second-class girls in Zengtou, let her Mrs. Zhuangtou arranged for people to cook the dishes and serve them to eat!

This Zhuangzi also has a large banquet hall, tables and stools have been set up long ago, the lights are bright, and hot meals and dishes are served in less than a moment.

Mother Pan tried the chicken with a silver needle, and under Yuyue's smiling eyes, she brought in two chickens with a blushing face.

"Girl, is it not a big mistake to be careful!"

"Hehe, Mama Pan, it's better to be cautious, but this is your own Zhuangzi, what are you thinking? And I'm really curious, you just took out this silver needle, where did you put it?" ?”

Mother Pan spread out her hands, one hand was a sharp silver needle, and the other was a flower made of silver. When she put her hands together, the silver needle and the silver flower became one, and it was inserted into the hair.

"Girl, I have more than a dozen sets of this kind of needles! There are also jade shells." Mother Pan said proudly. I really didn't see it, it just looked like a silver hairpin, and I really can figure it out.

Yuyue took a bit of chicken that Banxia tore off, a small bowl of soup, and took a sip:

"You are also tired all day, eat!"

Pan's mother arranged a few green vegetables fried by sister-in-law Zhou, and a tofu with chicken sauce, and steamed a chicken soup. Yuyue ate less for dinner, and everyone was used to it. These dishes were enough for dinner up.

Yuyue only ate half a bowl of rice, drank two small bowls of soup, and ate some green vegetables, that's all. Get up and look at your future residence. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
