The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 113 Crucian Carp
The woman pointed to the bottom of An Xu's nose, and said, "Your upper lip has a very shallow rest line, which means that it will not be easy for you to be a mother in the future."

An Xu was surprised, she looks like a noble lady, and she also works part-time as a photographer?
She laughed, "I don't believe that."

When the woman heard the words, she quickly put her hands together and recited the Buddha's name, with a bit of displeasure on her friendly face, "How can you speak so wildly in the land of Buddhism?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and motioned for the servant girl to come and help her.But before she left, she still said to An Xu: "Doctor Ge of Baoqingtang is the best at treating infertility. If you need it in the future, you can go to her."

An Xu was inexplicably confronted by an infertility doctor in Amway, and he couldn't react.

Seeing that the person walked away, she whispered to the partridge who was holding back her laughter, "Isn't she out of her mind?"

The partridge shook his head, and said: "I don't know, but I know that the young lady is quite tall, so it will be easier to give birth in the future."

An Xu pointed at her, but also found it funny, "Partridge, partridge, you usually look quite honest, I asked you to take a bath with me, where are your eyes looking?"

Partridge shook his head, and said: "It's not that the young lady is always open-minded."

But after all, he was outside, so he didn't dare to say such words, and the partridge quickly changed the subject.

Not long after staying here, Shen Xiao came looking for him.

"Do you want to go to the lake?" he asked.

Opposite Fuyun Temple is a blue lake called Siping Lake, surrounded by elms and willows, and when the leaves sprout in spring, they will form a circle of green shade on the embankment.

The environment here is very pleasant. There are many boats and boats parked on the lake all year round. It is very beautiful to go to the temple to worship the Buddha, and then go out to swim the lake and eat a vegetarian meal.

An Xu nodded: "Okay."

But today the weather is very good, many people got on board after noon, when An Xu and Shen Xiao came out to Siping Lake, all the boats on it were rented, if you want to use them, you have to wait a little longer.

An Xu looked at the embankment with thick trees and said, "Let's walk on it."

There is no shortage of women in the pedestrians outside. There are girls and women.

An Xu walked for a while and turned around after harvesting a lot before noticing this.

Looking around, she and Shen Xiao are really the only ones.

Shen Xiao said: "Should we still board the boat and go swimming in the lake?"

An Xu smiled and said: "The elm money here is very good, I'm just going to pick some."

Just as I was talking, two men in scribe shirts came from the front and stopped to say hello to Shen Xiao: "Brother Shen, what a coincidence. This girl looks strange, who is your sister?"

An Xu raised his eyebrows. Can a man go out with a woman who hasn't left the court together? Can that be explained?

Shen Xiao and these two people were just nodding acquaintances in general, and they dealt with each other casually without explaining in detail.When the person left, he said to An Xu, "I'm not an acquaintance."

An Xu didn't say anything, but felt somewhat shameful, although she knew that Shen Xiao didn't say it was for her reputation.

This is the characteristic of this era. The relationship between a man and a woman is illegal without the permission of parents and elders.

There are many elm trees on the lake embankment, which are planted apart from the willow trees, and some of them are relatively low. Before An Xu stretched out his hand, he thought, "Can I pick it?"

Shen Xiao reached out and picked a few elm coins, "This is planted in Fuyun Temple. Every spring, elm coins are produced and donated to outsiders. Although this thing is worthless and does not prevent hunger, it is very good for the farmers. Grow food."

So it can be picked.

An Xu picked it up with Shen Xiao, and asked, "Will Fuyun Temple give this alms directly?"

Shen Xiao said with a smile: "There are many elm trees in the wild, and it's not like the poor have nowhere to get them. Of course, they have to be cleaned, mixed with noodles and pancakes, and then donated."

"What kind of pancake is that?"

An Xu really wanted to see it, Shen Xiao said: "They usually donate in the morning, and I will get two tomorrow."

"If you don't mind, girl, I have another one here for you to try." Under a willow tree not far away, there was an old man with a bamboo basket at his feet, and he really took out a white one from his arms. The pancake wrapped in cotton cloth got up and handed it to Shen Xiao, "I'm here to rest, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."

This old man is thin and dark-skinned, with deep wrinkles on his face that look like ravines. He is the most common image of an old farmer in this era.

Shen Xiao is not the kind of nobleman who prides himself on his status, but he looked at the basket under the tree, smiled and politely refused.

The old man smiled and didn't feel embarrassed, so he put it away again and put it in his arms.

Turning around, the old man picked up the bamboo basket and left.

An Xu asked Shen Xiao, "Why not?"

Shen Xiao pointed to the basket on the old man's back as he drifted away, and said, "That's the dung picker. There are a lot of cows and horses in this city, so old people from the country often come to the city to pick up dung. I'm afraid you will find out later, you will Felt nauseous."

An Xu: That's true. Now there are no faucets everywhere. Can you wash your hands after picking up feces?

"Miss, it's almost there." Partridge brought over the basket full of elm money and told her to look at it.

An Xu nodded: "Let's do this first."

She looked at the sun in the west, and said to Shen Xiao: "I will go back."

Shen Xiao felt that he hadn't said a few words, and he didn't want to leave, "There's a boat over there, let's go to the lake for a while."

"In the future." An Xu's interest is not very high, the conversation is not pleasant, and the lovers can't get along well, so it's better to go back and be alone.

"By the way, tell your grandmother that I won't go to the banquet with her in the name of your younger generation."

Shen Xiao said: "I will handle it well, it is true that I did not consider this matter."

An Xu nodded, "You don't need to send it away."

After giving a salute, he asked the partridge to turn around and leave.

Their carriage was beside the gate of the temple, and they quickly mixed into the crowd coming and going.

Looking at her back, Shen Xiao suddenly felt a sense of emptiness that he couldn't grasp or hold back.

"Miss, look." As soon as An Xu got into the carriage, the partridge made a sound in surprise.

An Xu lifted the curtains of the car, and on the lake embankment in the distance, stood a young woman in front of Shen Xiao, followed by a maid who was leading a child, and on the other side was a woman in pink clothes. girl.

They seemed to be having a good time talking.

Partridge frowned and said, "Miss, didn't Master Shen say that he has no impression at all?"

Why did partridge say that, because that child was the one who almost kicked Cuju on her just now.

An Xu was disappointed again, put down the curtain and said, "Let's go."

"That girl was Mr. Shen's friend just now?" The woman noticed Shen Xiao's remote eyes and asked with a smile: "I saw you just now, and I said I was curious. I didn't hear that Mr. Shen was engaged when I was at home." .”

Shen Xiao said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years. If my cousin doesn't tell me, I won't remember it anymore. Are you here in Beijing for something?"

Don't pick up the topic just now.

The woman smiled and said: "No, our master has served as the county magistrate of Zhaoyuan for six years. When he came back this time, he wanted to find an official position in the capital first, no matter what is good or bad. So he went back to his hometown on the way to report his duties, and took We took it too."

"We passed through Chaoyang County on the way, and we stopped to visit our family. We also met your grandmother. I heard from her that you have been visiting them every year for the past few years."

Shen Xiao smiled, arched his fists and said: "Xiao still has something to do, so I'll be rude first."

Seeing that the other party was not close, the woman didn't mind at all, after all, they didn't get too much warm hospitality when they went to their home.

"That's all right, go get busy. But I don't know when your grandmother will be convenient, so I will take my sister-in-law to visit."

Now that we have met and are related, why don't we not pay a visit?Didn't we get in touch after this visit?
The woman turned her head to look at the sister-in-law with drooping eyebrows and reddish cheeks, and felt that with Mr. Shen's courteous attitude towards the woman just now, her sister-in-law might not have a chance.

If he can marry Shen Guogong's family, his family will gradually gain a foothold in the capital.

Fuyun Temple is outside the capital city. When returning home, partridge would look out through the gap in the curtain from time to time. Just as she was about to turn into a fork in the road, she pointed in a direction and said, "Miss, that old man who wants to give you elm pancakes."

An Xu opened the curtain and took a look, and said with a smile, "It's really a fate."

The old man walked along the official road in the north of the city, thirty miles to the north, there are some small villages in the suburbs of Beijing.

An Xu likes peaceful and kind-hearted people very much, so he wanted to say that it was still early, so let's take someone with him along the way, and also go to the suburbs to find some elm trees, and take them back with a car.

Then the old man over there stopped and put the basket on the ground and fanned it. A little in front of their carriage was an ox cart.

The bullock cart stopped beside the old man, and the thick man who drove it jumped down, first lifted the basket on the ground and put it on the cart, then turned around and helped the old man get on the cart.

It turned out that the father and son entered the city together, so An Xu told the coachman to go straight there, and they just went to find the elm money tree.

Unexpectedly, when I passed the bullock cart, I saw a large water basin on it, and there were crucian carp slices as long as fingers in the water basin.

There is only a shallow layer of water in the basin, but the crucian carp are quite lively, dancing happily one by one.

An Xu stopped the carriage and asked outside, "How do you sell your fish?"

This kind of small fish is the most difficult to sell, but every time the net goes down, there will be many such small fish caught. Zhou Da is too lazy to pick and choose, so he brings them all to the capital for sale.

It is often used as a supplement, and not many people are willing to ask for it.

Hearing the inquiry, Zhou Da looked up at the people in the carriage, and while driving the ox cart to the side of the road, he said: "If you want it, Miss, just give me ten Wen."

"All of them?" An Xu stepped down and looked at at least a hundred crucian carp.

"Yes," Zhou Da got out of the car, and removed the half-covered net from the basin, "I'll give it back to the villagers at the same price. It's not tasty, but it's great for feeding chickens and ducks."

An Xu thought: This is too cheap.
