Mrs. Huangfu originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as she heard that Chu Yiqing asked her to look at Abao, she quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, as long as you don't dislike me as an old woman getting in the way!"
"Mom, what are you talking about? A Bao is just afraid of you, Yingqian, Yingrun and the others, and won't listen to them at all. I have been forced to hold them down and read at home for several days.
I've already suppressed my tail, so I must follow him!" Chu Yiqing patted A Bao's head lovingly.
"Mom, A'bao has grown up and can't touch his head anymore!" Perhaps because he heard Chu Yiqing talking about him, A'bao became unhappy. He pouted his pink lips in protest, quickly broke away, and stepped forward to hug Huangfu.
The old lady said, "Grandma, don't listen to what mother said. Ah Bao is good. Ah Bao likes grandma the most and also likes mother!"
Mrs. Huangfu looked at Chu Yiqing and couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, Pan Yulang was shopping with Zhao Maimai on the streets of Lucheng, introducing some specialties of Lucheng to Zhao Maimai from time to time.
"Wheat, look, these are fried tofu, and these are sugar-coated balls. They are all specialties of our Lucheng city!" With a flattering smile on his face, Pan Yulang asked Zhao Xiaomai while pretending to eat, "What?
Yes, you want to go back now?"
Zhao Xiaomai paid the money, put the food in the car, and nodded: "No, I have been out here for more than ten days, and there is still a lot of work at home. I don't know if the green water in the ground has been watered.
The Sun brothers are too busy with just the vegetable field! Now that the seedlings have been raised, I can’t be used for the work here for the time being, so I’ll leave!”
Pan Yulang asked tentatively: "I think this fry is very simple. I just build a shed and spread the seeds on the ground. Why did Miss Chu call you here from so far away?"
Zhao Xiaomai smiled honestly: "Cousin, this fry is not that simple. Just like the greenhouse, the temperature and humidity must be controlled well. I don't know what the temperature and humidity are, but I know what kind of weather it is.
How big of a fire to burn, how much water to put in the ditch! I can’t read, and I’m not as knowledgeable as Miss Chu, so I can’t explain it clearly, but I understand it in my heart!”
Pan Yulang snorted and sighed: "This is also a skill. Originally, I thought about letting Youzhi follow Miss Chu, even if it means going to a shop to work as a handyman to learn a skill. Who knows that now Miss Chu will arrange Youzhi in the house?
, following him in and out, passing a message or something, I look at him, this child is considered a waste!"
Zhao Xiaomai hurriedly said: "Cousin, why do you think so? In the past, only people whom my sister could trust would be allowed to follow me. Didn't you see that Liu Yi before? My sister feels sorry for him. No matter where he goes, let him
Follow me, although he is a young man, but he has a lot of experience. No, my sister asked him to manage the affairs of Luo State alone. He will come back every other month to transport ginger to Luo State. I am watching.
She was very capable before! Cousin, my sister is very capable, so you should let Youzhi follow her and learn from her!"
When Pan Yulang heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"
"That's not true!" Zhao Xiaomai didn't notice Pan Yulang's expression. He was playing with two spinning tops at the moment, "Youzhi and Liu Yi are both educated, and my girl likes scholars!"
The more Pan Yulang listened, the happier he became. Seeing that Zhao Xiaomai liked the two tops, he Yuancheng said, "Let's buy these two tops for Ah Jin and Ah Yin to play with!"
Zhao Xiaomai thought about it too, but he was used to being thrifty and always felt that such things were really expensive. After thinking about it, he put it down and said, "Actually, I can also carve this thing. It's just an uninhabited scene. Look,
There are little people painted on it!"
When Pan Yulang saw it, he quickly grabbed it and put it in Zhao Xiaomai's pocket, "Even if I sold it to my two grandnephews!"
Zhao Maimai was stunned and quickly declined: "How can this happen?"
"Just take it, aren't we a family?" Pan Yulang quickly paid.
Zhao Xiaomai thought for a while, then put it in his pocket and smiled honestly: "Okay, thank you cousin!"
Pan Yulang waved his hand and took Zhao Maimai to continue shopping, and did not go back until noon.
In the afternoon, Zhao Maimai packed up and said he would set off the next day. Chu Yiqing asked him to go back with Zhu Erwen and take a look at the fields. If wheat was planted, more fertilizer should be applied.
Anyway, there is still a pig farm, and there is no shortage of fertilizers. There is no wheat. Now that Grain Rain has passed, we can only grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. There is no shortage of potato seeds. The sweet potato varieties in Chu Han are not as good as those in Lucheng.
, Chu Yiqing also took Pan Youzhi to go to the sweet potato greenhouse to see the growth of sweet potatoes. It would be best if the sweet potatoes here could catch up with Chu Han's planting! He also stopped by Zhujia Village to have a look.
By now, the lotus roots should have been harvested for the whole season, and her share should be harvested too!
"Yingqian, call Madam Lingdang and Lingdang!" Chu Yiqing ordered people to prepare two carriages, with baskets placed on the carriages, and ordered Yingqian.
"Hey!" Yingqian immediately went to the backyard.
"Prince of the Zhu family, Ling Dang, the lady is calling for you!" Ying Qian said while taking over the work from Ling Dang's mother, "Go quickly, something good is going to happen!"
Bell Girl quickly wiped her hands on her apron and took the bell to the front yard.
"Miss, where are you going?" Lady Lingdang asked, looking at the basket on the car.
"Go to Zhujiacun and take back my share. It just so happens that you have been out for a few months, so go back and take a look!" Chu Yiqing smiled lightly.
"Oh, you can go home, you can go home!" When the bell heard it, it jumped up for joy.
Lingdang's mother was naturally also happy. After all, it was her home. Her eyes suddenly became moist, and she quickly responded: "Miss, please let Lingdang and I change into new clothes. It's not easy for us to go back..."
Chu Yiqing naturally understood and nodded: "Okay, go quickly!"
Lady Lingdang quickly led Lingdang back to the house.
"Mom, I'll be back in the evening, Ah Bao, just worry about it!" Chu Yiqing stuffed Ah Bao's little hand into the palm of Mrs. Huangfu's.
Mrs. Huangfu naturally understood that Chu Yiqing was worried, so she quickly nodded and said: "Don't worry, A'bao is studying at home and not going anywhere. He is waiting for you to come back!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and took a few people on the road.
In the sweet potato greenhouse, Chu Yiqing saw for the first time the sweet potatoes cultivated using a new method, which were growing well.
"Guo Huai, how is the situation?" Chu Yiqing stood on the ground and bent over to look at the leaves. These sweet potatoes are drought-resistant. If they are not watered, they will naturally not get sick easily when they are dry. Look at these sweet potatoes. They will be ready in about a month.
It can be harvested, and when the time comes, the sweet potato vines will be used to plant sweet potatoes in Chu Han.
As soon as Chu Qing was busy preparing sweet potato vines, Ling Dang and Ling Dang returned to Zhujiazui. As soon as they entered the village, they were surrounded by the villagers led by the village chief.
"Oh, isn't this Ling Dang Madam? Look at her new clothes and her hairpin, and her face is much more energetic than before!" There was a friend in the village who used to be in love with Ling Dang Madam. Seeing that Ling Dang Madam is now well dressed and in good spirits.
, Dangzhi stepped forward to hold her hand and nodded, "It seems that following Miss Chu is a blessing. Look at the bell, but after a year, the head has grown taller!"
"Auntie!" Lingdang raised her head and shouted politely.
"Oh, look at Ling Dang, it's different when he goes out to see the world. He's so polite!" Many women came up and touched Ling Dang's little face.
The village chief walked out from those people, looked at Ling Dang and Ling Dang, and nodded: "It seems that they are getting along well. After seeing the stone, I can feel at ease underground!"
"An Xin, I just looked at the corpse that was blown up by anger. My eldest brother just died, and you, the guest, left with the baby. You didn't even give my eldest brother the incense to celebrate the New Year.
A person is spending the New Year alone outside. What a femme fatale, with such a cruel heart!" Suddenly, a man's voice rang out, it was Shitou's younger brother Zhu Tietou. He was carrying a shovel and stood where the bell was.
In front of the door of the house, he said coldly.
Lady Lingdang quickly pulled Lingdang into her arms, and while letting Tietou look at the basket slung on her arm, she whispered: "Her uncle, we can't come back during the Chinese New Year, so naturally we can't offer incense and paper to Father Lingdang. This is not the case today."
Are you back? Make up for it!"
The village chief frowned, pointed at Tietou and cursed: "Don't talk nonsense here. Since you came back, you have occupied the house of Shitou's family, and you have also driven away the villagers who helped Shitou's family. Isn't it just looking at the lotus root now?"
You have planted it and it looks valuable. Do you want to occupy it? I am the head of this village. I can tell you that when you had to go out to work, you had already sold the land to Shitou. Now those two acres of land belong to Shitou.
, Shitou is dead, then it belongs to Lingdang and Lingdang’s mother, don’t think about occupying it! In the past few months, when you came back, you went around the village saying that Lingdang was not Shitou’s baby, didn’t you just want those two acres of land? Now Lingdang and Lingdang
Mom is back, please move out of those two houses quickly and return the land to others, otherwise, no one in our village will spare you!"
Before Tietou could speak, Tietou's wife came out of the yard wearing a bright red old satin coat and cursed directly at the village chief: "I tell you, village chief, this is a family matter that cannot be dealt with by an upright official, not to mention you are not a
Official, he is just a small village chief, how can he be brave now? The bell is not made of stone. Several people in the village and insiders know that now that Shitou is dead, Tietou is Shitou's only brother, so the family property is naturally made of iron.
Head!"
Several people who had good relations with the Shitou family were all very angry. Just as they were about to come forward to argue, Lingdang Madam quickly stopped everyone and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, everyone. To put it bluntly, Lingdang and I are following Miss Chu."
, don’t worry about food and clothing, do you still care about the two acres of land and these two shabby houses? I just thought, as long as Lingdang and I come back to visit the grave in the future, Iron Tou will not stop us!"
Lady Lingdang's few words made Tietou's wife tremble with anger. She and Tietou had been planning for so long just for these two acres of land and these two houses. Unexpectedly, they didn't care about them at all!
When the village chief heard this, his eyes widened immediately. In the past, Lady Lingdang was famous for being cunning, calculating, and clueless. All the country women in Lucheng were like this. The country women in Lucheng started fighting and started doing business.
They are all better than men. There has always been a saying that three Lucheng guys are not as good as one Lucheng woman. I still remember that in the past, the dog of Xiaohong’s family next door killed the chicken of Lingdang’s family, and Lingdang’s mother actually scolded her in front of her door for three days.
Three nights later, the scoldings came to an end. This incident was over. They were still neighbors and would still lend a hand when big things happened. Now, as soon as their upper and lower lips touched, Lady Lingdang no longer wanted the land and the house. This...
…
"Ms. Lingdang, do you know how much that land is worth now?" The village chief whispered in Madam Lingdang's ear, "I harvested a crop of lotus roots a year ago. Although I have to give half of it to Miss Chu, the two acres of land are also the same.
Number, you really don’t want it anymore?”
The village chief held out five fingers.
Lady Lingdang shook her head: "Village Chief, I appreciate your kindness. After all, this Tietou is Shitou's only younger brother. Let's just leave this land and house to him as Shitou. Lingdang and I don't want these. We just want to come back."
It’s a grave, and you’ll feel at ease just by looking at the stones!”
The dumbfounded women came to their senses at this moment and praised Madam Lingdang for her benevolence and righteousness, but in their hearts they felt that Madam Lingdang was now living well with Miss Chu and no longer cared about the money!
"Tietou, you heard me. Madam Lingdang said that the land and the house are all yours. From now on, you don't have to use any tricks to smear Madam Lingdang. There's just one thing. When will Lingdang and Madam Lingdang come back?
You can't stop the stone tombstones, otherwise, I, the village chief, and these villagers will have to discuss the two acres of land..."
"Why don't we just go to the grave? Who can stop me?" Tietou didn't say anything. Tietou's wife just snorted and pulled Tietou through the door.
Seeing that Tietou agreed, Lady Lingdang breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and smiled at the people in Zhujiazui: "I used to be poor and had no other options. I'm a bit cunning and harsh. Folks, please don't be offended!"
After saying this, several people who had quarreled with Lingdang Madam were a little embarrassed on their faces, especially the next door neighbor Xiaohong, who is now a child's mother and married someone from her own village. She immediately stepped forward and said: "**
Son, I am sorry for you, I know clearly that the dog killed your chicken, but this family is poor and cannot afford to pay..."
Having said this, everyone felt that what they had done before was a bit too much, and they were all a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, now our village is rich in lotus roots, and all the villages in this ten miles away are famous. Girls from other villages are eager to marry our village, and it's all thanks to Miss Chu!" the village chief said loudly.
Everyone agreed.
Just as he was talking, Chu Yiqing took Yingqian to Zhujiazui. Seeing the village head crowded with people, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "What are everyone talking about?"
When the village chief saw that it was Chu Yiqing, he quickly stepped forward and said: "Miss Chu, I wanted to have last season's harvest delivered to the house, but Manager Guo said that the girl was not here and someone happened to come to collect the lotus roots, so I decided on my own.
Changed it into money, Miss Chu is here, this money is just for Miss Chu!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "The village chief is really smart. He only harvested more than half of the lotus roots, and the remaining half was used as seeds. I didn't expect that you only knew the secret of this kind of lotus roots after planting them for one season!"
The village chief quickly said: "Miss Chu, don't worry, our village dare not forget your great kindness. Do you think this is going to happen? You continue to let us plant lotus roots. We will share the lotus roots with the girl 30%, and the girl will not have to worry about it in the future."
Yes, now we can grow it ourselves!”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Actually, this kind of land can grow every year and mature every two years. I don't expect that I can dominate this method for a lifetime. If you want to plant it, I will naturally not object!"
When the village chief heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the villagers to express his thanks: "Miss Chu has been so kind to us Zhujiazui villagers. The name of Zhujiazui village will never be forgotten!"
Chu Yiqing waved his hand and said with a smile: "The village chief's words are serious. Besides, I will receive 30% without any effort. Where can I find such a good thing?"
The village chief and the villagers burst into laughter.
Lady Lingdang quickly said: "Miss, I want to go with Lingdang to burn incense on the stone. Can Miss please wait for us?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "It just so happens that I also want to take a look at the lotus roots planted by everyone to see if there is anything else I need to pay attention to. Just go and do it!"
Ling Dang’s wife nodded quickly and quickly took Ling Dang to the cemetery in the north of the village.
When Chu Yiqing came, it was like celebrating the New Year in the village. The village chief called on everyone to bring out all the delicious food, so on the small table with his head lowered, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, these good things that were reluctant to eat on weekdays were placed.
, took them all out.
Chu Yiqing looked at the land in the village and agreed with them to dismantle the greenhouse and plant lotus roots in accordance with God's will and according to the season. This way, the cost is low, it is not easy to cause pests and diseases, and it is also convenient.
"Okay, Miss Chu is an expert, just do whatever Miss Chu says to do!" the village chief responded quickly.
Standing on the boundary of Zhujiazui, looking to the west, you will see the border with Rao State in front of you, and you can still vaguely see the city wall, which is guarded by troops.
"Your village is close to Rao Country. It's always peaceful?" Chu Yiqing looked up and asked casually.
The village chief sighed: "How can there be peace, otherwise our village cannot be the only one in this fertile land with a radius of hundreds of miles! I also heard from the elders that there were several villages nearby here a few decades ago, Niutou
Zui, Chenjiazui, everyone farmed and sometimes herded sheep to make a living. However, President Rao invaded from time to time. He either burned, killed or looted. Gradually, many people moved away, and the rest were old and weak.
The sick and disabled had no place to go, so they all gathered together and lived in Zhujiazui, which was the furthest away from the border. Later, a city was built here and the imperial court sent a garrison. Finally, things stopped for a while!
"
Chu Yiqing nodded and looked at the land from Zhujiazui to Raoguo. If the springs were dug out, these lands could be used. Growing rice would not be a problem. However, the country is now unstable. The land below Zhujiazui
We’ve already planted sweet potatoes, but it seems like it’s not the right time yet!
Several women went to the grave with Ling Dang Lady and watched from a distance. After Ling Dang Lady and Ling Dang finished visiting the grave, everyone stepped forward to comfort them and said: "Ling Dang Lady, please bear with me and accept the change. People cannot be resurrected after death. Do you want to think about it?"
open!"
Lady Lingdang wiped her red eyes and nodded: "I'm lucky to be following Miss Chu these days. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have lived here, seeing things and missing people!"
As soon as everyone heard that Madam Lingdang took the initiative to mention Chu Yiqing, they immediately asked: "Ms. Lingdang, are you comfortable following Miss Chu? The monthly payment is very large?"
Lady Lingdang smiled and said: "A nest of gold and silver is not as good as a straw nest at home. If you can live in your own home, who wants to leave home for a long time? You ladies, you all have a better life than me. You have a husband and a lot of money."
My child, don’t think about anything else!”
When several women heard this, they also understood the same truth. Now Zhujiazui is no longer the Zhujiazui before. This season, lotus roots can be bought for five taels of silver. Their pockets are bulging, and their daughters are not getting married.
Although they were jealous that Madam Lingdang could enjoy the good life and drink with Miss Chu, they were a little reluctant to let their daughter work as a maid and live under someone else's roof, so they immediately gave up their thoughts.
Seeing that they were overthinking it, Lady Lingdang smiled and stood together chatting some gossip. She asked what major events had happened in the village in the past few months. When she heard that several old people had died, she immediately sighed: "
Things in the world are unpredictable!" Hearing that a boy from a certain family got married and talked about his wife, he laughed and said: "I didn't expect to grow up so quickly. I still feel young, so I still think about stealing sweet potatoes from my house!"
Lady Lingdang took Lingdang and chatted with some women in the village for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, she hurriedly left and followed Chu Yiqing back.
On the way back, Lingdang leaned against the car wall and stared blankly out of the window. She didn't speak for a long time. Lingdang also leaned in Lingdang's arms full of thoughts.
"Mom, when can we come back in the future? Meizi, Liu'er and the others are waiting for me to come back and play!" Lingdang said in a low voice.
Lady Lingdang turned around and sighed: "My child, this is not your home. Originally, I thought that I would just live with your father in this small village for the rest of my life. But things are unpredictable. Your father died. Here
There is no one I can miss anymore, and our destiny from now on will have to be decided by ourselves!"
Ling Dang was still young and didn't understand what Madam Ling Dang said, but Madam Ling Dang stopped talking. She just stretched out her hand to stroke Ling Dang's soft hair and sighed quietly.
It was already evening when we got home. Mrs. Huangfu had long been worried and asked Zhao Xiaomai to go out and visit several times.
When Chu Yiqing entered the door, Mrs. Huangfu felt relieved and quickly asked Yingrun to get some water for her to clean her hands in preparation for dinner.
"How do you like it? When can these sweet potato vines be used?" Speaking of this sweet potato, Mrs. Huangfu still has feelings for it. When she first went to Chu Han, all she ate were sweet potatoes every year, but Chu Han
The sweet potatoes in Lucheng are not as delicious as those in Lucheng. They are white and not sweet, but they can fill the stomach. Now in Lucheng, although the sweet potatoes in Lucheng are delicious, Mrs. Huangfu has only tasted them once.
I also refuse to eat it. I was injured from eating it when I was young. No matter what I eat now, white flour pastry is the most delicious!
"Don't worry, those sweet potatoes will be harvested in ten days, and the sweet potato vines will be ready for use. And I want Brother Zhao to confirm those lands and set aside 10,000 acres. Wait for ten days.
We are almost busy with things here, so we will go home. At that time, we will bring the sweet potatoes and vines back with us! This time, we suddenly have 50,000 acres of land. It is too much. I am afraid that Brother Zhao and his family will
I'm too busy!" Chu Yiqing said while wiping his hands.
Mrs. Huangfu nodded and said, "It's good to go back. I'll feel at ease when I go back!"
Chu Yiqing stood for a while but didn't see A Bao coming out. He couldn't help but ask: "Where is A Bao? Why is there no one there?"
"In the flower hall, the shopkeeper Ping is here, and A Bao went to look at the account books. This A Bao, I don't know who he is, is really a money man, and the abacus is rattling!" Mrs. Huangfu couldn't help but joked.
.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "You can follow me. In Chu Han, even though many people treat me with respect, they secretly scold me for being a solitary eater and refusing to teach them the methods of farming?"
Mrs. Huangfu said: "Yiqing, I understand. It was difficult at that time. A copper plate would be broken in half and spent, and people looked down on us. But now that we are prosperous, I can see that you are not that kind of child! This time Lu Lu
I've also seen what happened in the city. In fact, it's not that you really want to be alone. This kind of greenhouse is risky. If something happens, we can't afford the loss!"
Chu Yiqing felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that Mrs. Huangfu could see it so clearly. He couldn't help but smile: "Mom, Jiang is very old. This sentence is really true!"
Mrs. Huangfu couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss, the people from Huafu have already replied to the post, saying that they would invite the young lady and the old lady to have dinner tomorrow at noon!" Yingrun said when she saw Chu Yi had washed her hands and placed the dishes and chopsticks.
Chu Yiqing nodded. In ten days, she would go back to plant sweet potatoes. She really wanted to learn this flower-growing technique, and she might be able to use it in the future!
"Mom, let's go tomorrow!" Chu Yiqing smiled and sat down. Seeing that A Bao still didn't show up, he couldn't help but said to Yingrun: "Yingrun, go and ask A Bao to come for dinner!"
Yingrun quickly went to call.
Early in the morning of the next day, Zhao Xiaomai set up the car and prepared to set off home with Zhang San.
"Wheat, you must pay attention to safety on this road. Did you bring enough dry food? If you don't have enough, just eat some on the road. When it gets late, stay in a hotel. Don't worry about the money!" Old Mrs. Huangfu asked worriedly.
Zhao Xiaomai smiled honestly: "Mom, don't worry, there was food in the car when we came here. I was worried and scared all the way. Fortunately, Zhao Wu and the others were there to take care of me. When I go back, the car is empty. What should I be afraid of?"
Zhao Wu is the leader of the fifty nursing homes that Chu Yiqing asked Shangguan Yu to find last time. It is said that he used to be a soldier commander and has great leadership skills.
Mrs. Huangfu also stepped forward and told Zhao Wu: "His eldest brother, I will rely on you along the way!"
Zhao Wu quickly knelt down on one leg and said seriously: "Don't worry, old lady!"
Chu Yiqing also stepped forward and said: "I will handle Liu Gan's matter, but from now on, the house will have to rely on you to take care of it. From now on, you will do Liu Gan's work, and I will double the salary for you."
!”
When Zhao Wu heard this, he quickly kowtowed and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Chu!"
Chu Yiqing nodded, feeling relieved. Seeing that it was getting late, he urged Zhao Maimai to get on the road quickly.
"Miss Chu, farewell!" Zhu Erwen also said goodbye.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Manager Zhu, I'm sorry to bother you!"
Zhu Erwen cupped his fists and said, "Miss Chu, you're welcome!"
A group of people, three carriages, and more than a dozen people drove out of Lucheng.
After sending Zhao Xiaomai and Zhu Erwen away, Chu Yiqing and Mrs. Huangfu went back to the house, changed into clothes for visiting guests, dressed up A Bao, and got on the carriage to go to Hua Mansion.
Hua Mansion is located to the east of Lucheng. It is a very large house with a vermilion gate, blue stone steps, and several early peach blossom trees sticking out from the walls, looking full of life.
The doorkeepers were two kind-faced servants. When they saw someone coming to the door, they quickly stepped forward and asked, "But Miss Chu? Mrs. Huangfu?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "Exactly!"
"Please come in quickly, our master has been waiting for a long time!" The servant quickly and respectfully invited Chu Yiqing and Mrs. Huangfu in. The carriage was naturally taken care of.
Chu Yiqing held A Bao in one hand and walked side by side with Mrs. Huangfu. Ying Qian followed respectfully. As soon as she entered the door, she felt the breath of spring. Hua Mansion is worthy of being the home of hundreds of flowers. As soon as you enter the door, there is a garden.
The corridor is paved with bluestones, and there are various flowers on both sides of the corridor, but the most common ones are peonies. Although it is not yet the blooming season, the spring flowers around it have blooms, and there are peach trees under the walls.
, also in full bloom in response to the cold spring.
"It smells so good!" Abao couldn't help but wrinkled his little nose and said.
The servant smiled and said: "This is a peach blossom to welcome guests. It was our young master's idea, but the master doesn't like it. He thinks the peach blossom is too gaudy and jumps out of the wall. It's not as subtle as lilac and begonia!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "As expected of the Hua family, even the servants understand flowers!"
The servant smiled sheepishly, and as he spoke, he let Chu Yiqing into the living room in front of him, and said respectfully: "Miss Chu, please wait a moment, madam. I will go and report to the master now!"
As soon as the servant came down, a maid in a pink shirt came to serve tea. She sat in the hall, looked at the flowers outside the house, and sipped tea. It was really a pleasure.
"Miss Chu is here?" Hua Hai walked out of the back room, still dressed in coarse cloth, and said with a smile: "Miss Chu can come to the humble house, the humble house will really be full of glory!"
Chu Yiqing quickly stood up with Abao and greeted the sea of flowers: "I have met Mr. Hua, and I took the liberty of visiting. Please don't take offense to Mr. Hua!"
Abao also politely called out: "Hello, Grandpa Hua!"
Huahai lightly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Good boy!"
Chu Yiqing introduced again: "Mr. Hua, this is my godmother, her husband's surname is Huangfu!" After Chu Yiqing finished speaking, he saw the old lady Huangfu staring blankly at the sea of flowers, her face pale.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yiqing quickly stepped forward to help her.
Huahai also turned his eyes to Mrs. Huangfu.
Only then did Mrs. Huangfu come to her senses, and she saluted, "Master Hua, I'm so polite!"
Huahai chuckled and said: "No gifts, no gifts, Mrs. Huangfu has a well-behaved goddaughter!"
Mrs. Huangfu just lowered her head and quickly thanked her.
Sitting on the sea of flowers, after Chu Yiqing and Mrs. Huangfu sat down, A Bao also sat aside obediently. But after sitting for a while, he felt a little bored, so he leaned in front of Chu Yiqing and whispered: "Mother
, can I go out and play? The flowers are beautiful!"
Chu Yiqing whispered: "This is someone else's house, how can you run around?"
Hua Hai immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, I also have a five-year-old granddaughter at home. Although she is a girl, she is very naughty and mischievous. She should be in the backyard right now. Hua Gen, you take the young master with you.
go!"
Chu Yiqing also ordered Yingqian: "Yingqian, follow and keep an eye on the young master. Don't let him cause trouble everywhere!"
Just as Yingqian was about to respond, Mrs. Huangfu stood up in a hurry and said, "Yiqing, I'll go for it. A Bao is such a brat, I'm afraid he won't listen to Yingqian!"
Chu Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw Mrs. Huangfu leaving in a hurry with A Bao.
"Miss Chu, was she born in Chu Mansion, the capital city?" Hua Hai suddenly asked with a smile, pulling Chu Yiqing back from his thoughts.
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly and said: "That was all in the past. Now I have nothing to do with the Chu Mansion!"
Hua Hai raised her eyebrows and slowly stroked her beard, "Is it really like the rumors that Miss Chu has severed ties with the Chu Mansion?"
Chu Yiqing nodded: "The Chu Mansion can't accommodate me, so I'll leave. Now I have food and clothing, and I won't starve to death or freeze to death!"
"Miss Chu is a person of integrity, I admire her!" Hua Hai chuckled.
Chu Yiqing smiled slightly and said: "Isn't it the same for Mr. Hua? I heard that Mr. Hua now personally goes to the fields to cultivate flowers, which is really admirable!"
The sea of flowers sighed faintly: "Flowers are just an arty thing. If we really encounter a famine year, who will have the heart to enjoy flowers?"
Chu Yiqing smiled faintly, as if he heard something in Huahai's words.
"What does Mr. Hua want to say?" Chu Yiqing asked with a smile.
"Miss Chu is really smart!" Hua Hai nodded, "Li Guo will face a great turmoil. I hope Miss Chu can save the country! Save the people!"
Chu Yiqing couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. Hua, where did you say these words? I am just a peasant woman. When Mr. Hua said these words, wasn't it too flattering to Chu Yiqing?"
Hua Hai laughed and said: "Miss Chu, you believe me, I am very accurate in judging people and will never make mistakes. Miss Chu is definitely not a thing in the pool, she is a responsible person, as long as her mind is right!"
Chu Yiqing slowly raised his lips: "Mr. Hua, I don't understand what you said!"
Huahai smiled and said: "In less than two months, Miss Chu will understand. By then, I just hope that Miss Chu can remember my words and take the world as her own responsibility!"
Chu Yiqing said calmly, "Okay, if I have that ability!"
"Miss Chu must have it!" Huahai looked determined.
Chu Yiqing smiled lightly.
Mrs. Huangfu led A Bao and Hua Gen to the backyard. Compared to the front yard, the backyard had a different scene. There were more than a dozen large and small greenhouses. Through the half-open curtains, you could vaguely see the scenery.
There are blooming flowers inside, and occasionally the laughter of children can be heard.
"Miss Sun, Miss Sun, the master said that you can't enter this greenhouse. Aren't you making it difficult for me?" When Hua Gen saw it, he quickly entered the greenhouse and begged in a low voice.
"I don't care, I just like to play here!" came the clear voice of the little girl from the greenhouse, with a hint of unruliness.
"Hey, why does the voice sound so familiar?" Abao tilted his little head, let go of Mrs. Huangfu's hand and went into the flower room.
Old Mrs. Huangfu just stood in front of the flower room in a daze, with only that face in the sea of flowers in her heart and eyes. How could it be him? How could it be possible?
In the flower room, Hua Lin was playing with Liang Jun and Cheng Ying. When Hua Gen came in to stop him, he immediately felt unhappy, "Hua Gen, this is my home, not yours!"
Hua Gen quickly begged for mercy: "Miss Sun, please spare the little one. If you damage this greenhouse, the master will blame the little one!" As Hua Gen was talking, he saw Liang Jun casually stepping down a flower.
When the bright red peonies came, he quickly called out and stepped forward to protect the flowers: "This is the best Luoyang red. Mr. Liang can't pick it!"
Abao followed him in. When he saw Liang Jun and Cheng Ying were there, he looked at the little girl and couldn't help shouting: "It turns out it's you!"
Hua Lin opened his big round eyes, tilted his little head and looked at Abao curiously: "So it's you? That little shopkeeper, why are you here?"
When Liang Jun and Cheng Ying saw each other, their eyes turned red with anger. They hadn't settled the accounts with A Bao for what happened last time. They went to the restaurant several times and couldn't find him. They thought he was hiding, but they didn't expect him to be there.
We met here. It’s true that enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!
"Why are you here? Do you know where this place is? You, a kid from a restaurant owner, dare to come here?" Cheng Ying touched the place where he was injured last time and shouted viciously.
Hua Lin continued to smile and said: "Yes, how did you come back here?"
While protecting the flower, Huagan said: "Miss Sun, this is Master Chu Yi. He is a guest invited by the master. He will have dinner at the mansion today at noon!"
When Liang Jun and Cheng Ying heard that A Bao could have dinner at Hua Mansion, their eyes couldn't help but turn red, and even fire came out! This Hua Mansion doesn't just invite people to dinner, the prefect of Lucheng, Cheng Ying's old man
Dad waited for three years and still didn’t get it!
"Really? That's great, then I won't be so bored while eating!" Hua Lin stepped forward with a smile, looked at A Bao, and suddenly took A Bao's little hand affectionately: "Your name is Chu Yi? I
Called Hualin!”
At this time, Cheng Ying and Liang Jun didn't know it was so easy to get angry. They stared blankly at the two people holding hands, with resentment on their faces: "Hua Lin took this kid's hand, Hua Lin pulled this kid's hand."
hand!"
Abao coolly shook off Hua Lin's little hand and frowned: "Men and women are not close to each other, why are you holding me?"
After saying this sentence, Hua Lin blushed, Liang Jun and Cheng Ying almost fell to the ground, and Hua Gen even opened his mouth.
A child at such a young age knows whether men and women are intimate or not?!
Abao glanced at the flower room and looked at the colorful flowers. Just as he was about to take a closer look, Cheng Ying immediately stepped forward, grabbed Abao's collar and pulled it outwards, "Come out and be nice to me."
Talk about it!”
Liang Jun also came up to help. One person held one of Abao's arms and left the greenhouse through another exit.
Hua Gen and Hua Lin were afraid that something would happen and hurriedly followed them out.
Cheng Ying and Liang Jun pulled Ah Bao to the edge of the pond. Cheng Ying said indignantly: "You actually said that to sister Hualin? I think you don't want to live anymore!" With that, Cheng Ying pushed Ah Bao hard.
