farming female castellan

Chapter 194 Great Appreciation
Zhang Ci was a little surprised: "There are so many poems?"

Chen Zhongyan replied: "Almost one song every day, sometimes a little more."

The children's works are basically in order. Some are stacked one by one according to the date, some are poems in one direction, and other works are in one direction. They are roughly divided into two stacks, which are easier to distinguish.Hua scribes took a fancy to Fan Chengda's pastoral poem at a glance: Xinzhuchang's mud mirror is flat, every family harvests rice while the frost is sunny; there is light thunder in the laughter and singing, and the flails ring all night.

"This is the scene of the autumn harvest, so lively." Hua Shuli showed the poem to everyone.

Tang Chaoying smiled: "As long as farmers can have a bumper harvest and have enough food, they are still very happy. I hope that the weather will be smooth and the tax revenue will be stable, so that the people will have a few more days of stable life."

Chen Fan lowered his head and smiled lightly. People in every department spoke with obvious professional habits.

"This one is also good." The Hua scribe picked up another piece of paper and began to read, "In autumn, I'm afraid that the rain will fall, and Jiazi will have nothing to do. After harvesting the rice and finishing work, I will dry the grain until it will be sunny until it is time to enter the warehouse." .”

Qi Yuwen nodded in agreement: "I hope the harvest will be fine. This year's autumn harvest is still very smooth. If there are several consecutive sunny days, the people and the crops can suffer less."

"I like this one." He Lin, the head of Duzhi, also turned to an idyllic poem: "In the daytime, the field is cultivated and the night is harvested, and the children of the village are in charge of their families. The children and grandchildren are not ready for farming and weaving, and they also learn to grow melons by the mulberry. The common people Hardworking should also allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment.”

"The scenery is also beautiful." He Lin became more interested. "The plums are golden and the apricots are fat, and the wheat flowers are snowy and the cauliflower flowers are sparse. The day is long and no one passes by the fence, only dragonflies and nymphs fly. The colors are vivid and the shapes are vivid. It's wonderful."

Chen Fan couldn't help laughing again. The poems that can be widely circulated are not just the profound artistic conception, but also easy to understand.

Zhang Jiuyan raised a question: "This is all related to summer and autumn, why is there no spring and winter?"

Chen Ya replied: "We hadn't arrived in Yuanfeng County in the spring. We only moved in on July [-]th, and we learned about summer gardens. Now that winter hasn't arrived, we haven't learned about winter."

Everyone laughed.General Yan is up to something again: "Why don't you compose a song now?"

Zhang Jiuyan glanced at him: "They have only been studying for three months."

Chen Ya's crisp voice sounded: "The green vegetables are green and the radishes are fat, the cauliflower is golden and the chives are white. The bees and butterflies dance from time to time, and the thrushes and orioles sing just right."

Several officials were stunned, their lips parted slightly, and then they let out a burst of hearty laughter, even Zhong Shuling laughed out loud.

"It's not bad, it's gratifying to be able to compose such a poem at the age of six." Tang Chaoying praised loudly, and Chen Ya's big eyes turned into crescent moons with a smile.

"It's just the rhythm that needs to be improved." Yan Shoulu made a suggestion.

"Thank you, sir, for your praise, and thank you, General, for your guidance." Chen Ya saluted and said, "Then I will change it to golden cauliflower and chives."

Everyone laughed loudly again.

"This girl is very intelligent. If she was born into a wealthy family, she must be a famous and talented girl." Tang Chaoying said.

Chen Ya bowed again: "Thanks to your lord's praise, our family is very lucky to be able to live together now, and we can all be talented men and women in Fumen."

This time the officials didn't laugh out loud, they all pursed their lips and smiled, looked at Chen Ya with admiring eyes, and kept nodding.

The girls all hugged Chen Ya; Chen Zhongzhu looked at his sister and smiled like a fool; Chen Zhongyan looked at Chen Ya with warm eyes.

Chu Sheng came in to salute and said that dinner was ready.Chen Fan and Zhang Ci got up and led everyone to the restaurant to sit down.

Just after dinner, Liu Huairong brought the servants of the Liu family over.Taking advantage of the bright sky, Chen Fan led the officials to Su Garden to resettle.

The people on the other side of Datian had dispersed, and it was quiet.Su Garden reveals a beautiful outline in the afterglow of the setting sun.Everyone walked through the flower corridor from west to east.

"It feels so good." General Yan started to be mischievous again, brushing the drooping branches and leaves while walking, and jumping up from time to time to touch the highest leaves.

Chen Zhongzhu opened his eyes wide and looked at him curiously, as if he was thinking: "The general said I am stupid, why does he look more stupid than me?"

Chen Zhongyan saw it, and patted his arm. Chen Zhongzhu withdrew his surprised expression, and continued to admire the general's vigorous figure with a warm expression.

"The pastures are growing so well, I'm going to run twice tomorrow." Yan Shoulu said.The children responded in unison: "Let's run together."

To the east of Datian is a canal, the water surface is two or three meters wide, and several rows of trees are planted on the wide slope beside the canal.The closest to the water is the willow tree, the branches are still green and soft, blowing the water in the evening wind.A little farther away is a peach tree, and a little further away is a crabapple tree. There are various flowers blooming on the slope.

The cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks haven't come home yet, they are grazing leisurely on the slopes, or playing in the water.The officials stopped and watched for several minutes, feeling the leisurely time.

"It's no wonder that the slope is so wide. It turns out that it is convenient for livestock to move around." Qi Yuwen was thoughtful.

"It's also convenient for everyone to take a walk." He Lin added.

The people continued to walk east and stopped at the edge of the big pond on the east side of the canal.This pond has five acres, the water surface is wide, and the waves are shining.The bank of the pond is winding, and there are several paths extending into the water beside the pond, whether high or low, wide or narrow, dividing the near-shore water surface into several parts of different sizes and shapes.There is a small island in the pool, which is connected with a path by a small semicircular bridge, named 24 Bridge.

"The name 24 Bridge is very beautiful." Zhong Shuling liked it very much.

"It's no wonder there are so many people here. The scenery becomes more and more beautiful the more you look at it," Tang Chaoying said.

"Aren't you afraid that the harvest will be too low to pay the land tax if you buy land but build a garden and build a house?" Yan Shoulu always asks profound questions.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "This is a heavily saline-alkali land, where no grass grows. It was originally intended to irrigate and drain salt. These ditches and ponds are dug for drainage, and many flowers and trees are also used to improve the soil. Those houses in the north are for the convenience of people. This Su Garden is for entertaining guests, and today is the first time Su Garden welcomes distinguished guests."

To the east of the pond is a green area with two paths leading to the gate of the garden.There are chrysanthemums of various colors on both sides of the path, and the maple leaves are red on the green field.

During the walk all the way, the servants of the Liu family had already arranged the room, and there were brand new toiletries and bedding.The sky was getting dark, and the officials no longer admired the scenery in the comment garden, but just casually walked into the small courtyard, went back to the house to wash and rest.Zhongshuling's eight maids and guards are responsible for the security of the garden.

General Yan jumped onto the roof.
