The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 867
The winter in northern Xinjiang is colder and longer than the capital, so spring naturally comes later.

In his previous life, Su Yunduo had the experience of self-driving on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia with his colleagues. It’s just that the month here is the Gregorian calendar. If it is changed to the lunar calendar, it will basically match what Yang Zhonghe said, that is, “April is early green, May is light green, June is the best, and July is the grass.”

According to Su Yunduo's rough estimate, Yongcheng, Fenghuangcheng and Bonicheng are roughly the area where Hebei and Inner Mongolia bordered in the previous life, and the terrain is quite different from the memory of the previous life, so Su Yunduo can't tell whether Bonicheng is right or wrong. It was Inner Mongolia in the previous life.

However, the climate is very similar, so even though it is the middle of March in the lunar calendar, when you come out of Yongcheng, the endless grassland is still a piece of withered yellow at first glance. Buds, the grasslands are starting to turn green after a long winter.

It’s just that the greenness hidden in the withered yellow did not fall into the eyes of Brother Huan, who has an extraordinary obsession with the beautiful scenery of "cattle and sheep appearing when the wind blows the grass". In his eyes, the grassland is still full of withered yellow , the deep disappointment was written in his eyes so brightly.

Looking at the disappointment on Brother Huan's face, thinking that maybe they will leave Northern Xinjiang soon, so Brother Huan's trip to Northern Xinjiang is destined to end in disappointment, Su Yunduo can only sigh secretly in his heart, but Even pretending not to understand why Brother Huan's disappointment came from, he just looked at Brother Huan with concern and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Huan?"

"Mother, there are still yellow grass roots everywhere. Is there really a beautiful scene of 'cattle and sheep appearing when the wind blows the grass'?" Brother Huan withdrew his gaze from the grassland, frowned and asked Su Yunduo back.

Su Yunduo nodded with certainty: "Of course there are! It's just that it will take a few months for the grass to fully grow."

Feeling that his words would not be able to dispel Brother Huan's doubts, Su Yunduo paused for a moment, tapped on the wall of the carriage lightly, and the carriage stopped slowly by the side of the road.

Su Yunduo looked at Brother Shanghuan's eyes full of doubts, pointed to both sides of the road and said: "Get out of the car and look at the grassland on both sides of the road, and see if the grass on the grassland has changed. Remember to look carefully!"

Chun Yu who was guarding their carriage hurriedly got off the horse and carried Brother Huan off the carriage.

Su Yunduo hugged Sister Le with one hand, and lifted the curtain with the other hand, and just quietly walked to Brother Huan under the carriage.

Brother Huan first bent down, then squatted down as if he had discovered something novel, pushed aside the withered grass with his little hands and looked at it carefully, then stood up and shouted excitedly to Su Yunduo in the carriage: " Mother, there is green grass here!"

Su Yunduo smiled and nodded, watching Brother Huan squatting down again and carefully moving his little feet while pushing aside the withered grass, for fear that someone would accidentally step on the newly sprouted grass.

Brother Huan's cautious appearance made Su Yunduo smile, she thought that Brother Huan would mercilessly grab the sprouting grass after seeing it!

When Brother Huan returned to the carriage, the groom flicked his whip lightly on the horse, and the carriage started to run with a "clack" and soon caught up with the slow-moving convoy ahead.

"Mother, the grass has already germinated, why wait a few months? The grass beside the vegetable field at Grandpa Kong's house can grow taller in a few days!" After getting into the carriage, Brother Huan let Su Yunduo use it. Asked as the wet kerchief cleaned his little hands.

Su Yunduo smiled again, it seems that the child's observation ability is still good.

Grandpa Kong is naturally the old doctor Kong, and the vegetable field that Brother Huan is referring to is naturally the vegetable field next to the hot spring near Shenquan Villa, where the temperature is high and the land is fertile, so the weeds naturally grow quickly.

Su Yunduo understood the truth, so he wanted to take a test for Brother Huan. Since he would give the answer directly, he just looked at Brother Huan lightly and said, "Have you ever thought about why the vegetable field at Grandpa Kong's house is so cold in winter?" Can you also grow fresh vegetables?"

This question is not difficult for Brother Huan: "I know this."

Before Brother Huan could tell the reason, Sister Le, who had been quietly nestling in Su Yunduo's arms, gave the answer first: "Quanquan keeps Baby Cai warm."

Su Yunduo couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It seems that the children have gained a lot in Geshan Village, and even the little sister Le has learned something.

Although Sister Le's words are very childish, Sister Kele is not yet three years old, she is just a child, she speaks in a childish voice, and the words she speaks have the unique flavor of young children.

Others may not understand it, but how could Su Yunduo not understand it? In the words of an adult, the hot spring provides the temperature for the vegetable field, so that the vegetables can grow in winter.

Su Yunduo gave Sister Le a "pop" on her little face, and praised with a smile: "Mother, Sister Le is so smart, she even knows how Quanquan can keep baby Cai!"

Sister Le received both Su Yunduo's sweet kiss and Su Yunduo's unsparing praise, her small face suddenly burst into a smile: "It was the second uncle who told Sister Le!"

The mother and daughter got bored for a while, Su Yunduo looked at Brother Huan again, seeing his thoughtful face, he couldn't help but continued to ask: "Brother Huan, is there anything else you don't understand, or is there anything you need to add? ?”

"Mom, I think the reason why the weeds grow fast in the grassland is not just because of the higher temperature there." Brother Huan looked at Su Yunduo with sparkling eyes.

Su Yunduo's heart suddenly filled with the joy of the old mother's relief, looked at Brother Huan with encouraging eyes, and motioned for Brother Huan to continue talking.

Brother Huan lowered his eyes, the long eyelashes gave Su Yunduo the urge to reach out and caress, but in the end he endured it.

After a while, Brother Huan raised his eyes and said: "I have seen my second uncle fertilize the vegetable field. The soil there is definitely much more fertile than the grassland, and the temperature is high, so the weeds can grow so fast."

Su Yunduo couldn't help but sighed in admiration, and at the same time was very pleased.

Brother Huan is only six or seven years old now, and he grew up in the capital. Although Su Yunduo would occasionally take him to the village to have a look, it was really just a walk around like a horse on a horse and a flower. There was no opportunity for him to practice, and it can be said that he knew nothing about farming, but through observation in just two months, he not only understood some farming, but also compared the grass on the grassland with the hot spring vegetables. The difference in the growth environment of the weeds on the edge of the field is enough to show that this child has good observation skills and the ability to infer other cases from one instance.

"Then it will take several months to see the beautiful scenery of 'cows and sheep appear when the wind blows the grass'!" Su Yunduo was lamenting his son's growth, but he heard Brother Huan sigh like an old man.

Su Yunduo couldn't help but wonder, if they can continue to stay in northern Xinjiang, they will indeed be able to see the beautiful scenery of "cattle and sheep appearing in the wind and grass" in a few months, but can they stay until then?

Seeing Brother Huan's face full of exclamation and anticipation, Su Yunduo suddenly felt that she didn't know how to speak, but how could she ignore Brother Huan's eager gaze, so she could only suppress the trace of distress for Brother Huan in her heart, Qiang Zuo laughed and said: "There is a saying in the grassland here, 'the beginning of April is green, the light green is in May, the best is June, and the grass is cut in July'. If you do the math, there are still a few months before you can see 'cattle and sheep when the wind blows the grass'." beautiful scenery."

Brother Huan not only has a good memory, but also reads fast, and is also very good at arithmetic. As soon as Su Yunduo finished speaking, Brother Huan blurted out the answer: "It's only March now. Since June is the best month, at least you have to pay for it." It takes three months to see such beautiful scenery, three months is ninety days, alas, it takes so long!"

The expectation on Brother Huan's face and the exclamation in his tone made Su Yunduo's heart sour and astringent, because she knew very well that if there were no accidents, they should leave for the capital soon. I have already returned to the capital, where can I still see the beautiful scenery of "cattle and sheep moving in the wind"? !
But at this moment, how could Su Yunduo open his mouth to tell Brother Huan this fact, he could only sigh secretly again.

In order to take care of Zeng Ru, and also because he planned to take Brother Huan to the Kangyun Ranch temporarily, Su Yunduo divided the original one-day trip into two days, and let the team rest in Phoenix City for one night before going to Bobo on the second day. Mud city to go.

The convoy arrived in Phoenix City at the beginning of time, Su Yunduo handed over the matter of settling everyone to Yang Aoqun, and took a pair of children and went straight to Kangyun Ranch not far from Phoenix City.

Su Yunduo naturally had something to discuss with Yang Zhong and them. According to Lu Jinkang's prediction, they should leave Boni City when Ulie was injured enough to go on the road.

Uriel's injury is indeed a bit serious, especially his left leg was almost cut in two, and he was injured for a hundred days. Even if the best doctor in Boni City uses the best medicine, how can he be fully healed? It also takes three months.

It's just that the peace talks between the two countries are imminent, and it is impossible to wait for Uriel to fully recover from his injuries before starting from Boni City, so they can stay in Boni City at most for a month. You can take a carriage to the capital of Dongling Kingdom.

It is imperative to return to the capital, and naturally there are many things that need to be arranged. Su Yunduo intends to take the opportunity to arrange the affairs of Kangyun Ranch in advance.

The war horses, cattle and sheep transferred out before the war have returned to the Kangyun Ranch one after another. Although Nasai led people to burn some pastures in the Kangyun Ranch, because there are many cattle and sheep missing, and the grassland has begun to turn green, it is difficult for Kang Yun. The impact on pastures is not that great.

What Su Yunduo wanted to discuss with Yang Zhong and them here was how to meet the court's demand for war horses, find a balance between war horses and cattle and sheep, and maximize the benefits of Kangyun Ranch while meeting the court's requirements.

After the war ended, Ziyue followed the spring breeze back to the Kangyun Ranch. Seeing Su Yunduo bringing the two little masters over at this moment, she was both surprised and happy. She hadn't seen Su Yunduo since she arrived at the Kangyun Ranch last year. Here are the two little masters.

Although Sister Le has her own nanny, she is also very close to Ziyue. When she sees Ziyue, she struggles to get out of her nanny's arms and throw herself on Ziyue.

Su Yunduo smiled and patted Sister Le's little butt: "Don't flop around! Now your aunt Yue can't stand you flopping like this."

While talking, he signaled the nanny to put Sister Le down, and only let Ziyue hold her hand.

Ziyue found out that she was pregnant after accompanying Su Yunduo in male disguise to the valley to welcome Yang Aoqun and his party back to Boni City, and it has been almost two months.

It really made Su Yunduo afraid for a while, but the child in Ziyue's stomach is really stable, which is amazing. That time, the fetus in Ziyue's stomach didn't have any problems. It's almost five years old now. It's been a month, about the same age as the one in Zeng Ru's arms.

Watching Ziyue go away holding Sister Le's hand, the nanny followed closely step by step, Su Yunduo looked away from the corner of his eyes just in time to see Chunfeng's eyes tightly glued to Ziyue's body, and couldn't help but smile No matter how cold and tough a man is, once he has a family and children, he can always turn hard work into softness.

Brother Huan was directly thrown by Su Yunduo to Chun Yu, who was accompanying him, and Chun Yu took him to go crazy and play. The boys in the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion can't be pampered like a girl, let alone the girls in the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion. It's not pampered to be raised.

If it wasn't for Ziyue being pregnant, and not bringing other Zis to Kangyun Ranch today, and Sister Le's nanny is not good at riding horses, maybe Su Yunduo would just let Sister Le go out to have fun with Brother Huan.

Today, only Brother Huan followed Chun Yu to have fun in Kangyun Ranch.

No, no, there is Su Zechen who follows Su Yunduo wherever he goes!

Su Yunduo is also a little speechless, Su Zechen is already seventeen or eighteen years old, but he still likes to cling to her as much as when he was a child.

So after making sure that Zeng Ru was all right, Su Yunduo let Su Zechen follow him to Kangyun Ranch.

Su Zechen's horsemanship is not enough, at least he can take care of himself, Chun Yu only needs to take care of Brother Huan, besides, there are other people in the ranch!
Although the wind in March was still quite cold, Brother Huan was very excited to be led by Chunyu to ride a horse for almost an hour. A pure white little war horse, let Chun Yu lead the rein, and rode the little white horse alone for a short distance in the pasture. It was not until night fell that the group returned to Phoenix City.

Back in Phoenix City, there were several big and small faces full of resentment. The big ones were naturally Yang Aoqun and Princess Naya, and the small ones were naturally the few little ones brought back from Geshan Village this time.

Except for Yang Aoqun who knew Su Yunduo's whereabouts in advance, the others were deliberately avoided by Su Yunduo.

It's not that Su Yunduo is afraid of trouble, but that Su Yunduo went to Kangyun Ranch today with a mission. If she really brought this large group of people there, where would she have time to talk to Yang Zhong and them?

If it weren't for something that needs to be discussed with Yang Zhong and them today, and the weather is really cold for the children, then taking everyone to Kangyun Ranch for a rest is not much different from resting in Phoenix City.

Of course, the conditions in Phoenix City are much better than that of Kangyun Ranch. The reason why they chose to rest in Phoenix City is more because of Zeng Ru.

There was no other way, Su Yunduo had no choice but to sneer and said: "The weather is still too cold, let's go to the ranch to ride horses when it gets warmer!"

Yang Aoqun couldn't help curling his lips, Princess Naya rolled her eyes, and the children cheered.

Except for Yang Aoqun and Naya, the children didn't know that Su Yunduo might just write them a bad check.

The reason why he took Brother Huan with him today and let him have fun on horseback in the cold wind is that Su Yunduo made up for the deep regret that the possible return trip would bring to Brother Huan in advance.
