The fat peasant girl wants to counterattack

After Old Mrs. Xue took the medicine, she no longer fainted from the carriage, and the fatigue from the long days of traveling instantly came over her. She fell asleep comfortably on the horse. Yue Mingzhu thoughtfully covered her with a quilt. The old man was old. No more likely to catch cold than young people.

Wangcai, who was riding a fat donkey, breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady has been working too hard these days. Although she is always grumbling, she still feels sorry for the old lady. She is thousands of miles away, so what are you doing?

The old master was very strict in recruiting disciples. Even for a prince, it was not just a matter of becoming a disciple. Yue Mingzhu and Yue Mingxuan, the brother and sister, were lucky enough to become disciples of the old master so easily. This was similar to the current emperor. They are considered classmates.

After following the old master for such a long time, he naturally knew what he was like. The old master probably came here just for these brothers and sisters. It just happened that they met at the gate of the county school. It was just a coincidence.

What are the identities of these siblings? Why is he so favored by the old lady?

Although he was full of questions, he still couldn't ask. Some things were so involved that it was better for him not to know.

Afraid of disturbing the old lady's rest, Yue Mingxuan's carriage drove smoothly all the way, and it was already past noon when they got home.

The old man seemed to be sleeping with more than he had finished, and when Yue Mingzhu woke him up softly, he yawned several times in succession.

"Old lady, we are home."

"Ah? We're here now? Why do I feel like I just took a nap?"

Yue Mingzhu said softly: "Old Master, let's get off the carriage, and you can go back to sleep after dinner."

The old lady had no choice but to get off the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, he looked at the big house in front of him and fell into silence.

Is this what Dean Ding said about an ordinary family? This house was built in the countryside. If it were in the capital, ordinary officials would not be able to afford such a big house.

Yue Mingzhu brother and sister are quite low-key. They can build such a big house in the countryside. They are definitely worth a lot of money. They are so plainly dressed. It is no wonder that Dean Ding thinks that their family is ordinary and gives Yue Mingxuan a monthly subsidy of ten yuan. Two silver coins.

If Dean Ding knew about Yue Mingxuan's family background, he would probably be ashamed and angry. Even if he is the principal of the county college, he may not be as rich as Yue Mingxuan's family.

After pushing the door open, what came into view was a neatly tidied vegetable patch. It was green and very pleasant to look at. Different from the desolation along the way, the old lady felt as if he had entered another world.

There was an old farmer squatting in the vegetable field, concentrating on taking care of the vegetable field, with a smile on his face, showing no sign of fatigue or impatience. The old man suddenly wanted to paint the scene in front of him.

"Dad!" A father's voice broke the tranquility in the courtyard.

The old man never expected that the old farmer in front of him was Yue Mingzhu's father. He had no worries about food and clothing and was willing to work in the fields.

"Hey, Zhuzhu is back. Have you eaten? Oh, there are guests here. Come sit down in the room!"

Seeing that his daughter had returned with the guests, Yuedashan hurriedly came out of the vegetable field, patted the soil on his hands and body briefly, put down his rolled-up trouser legs, and called the old lady to go into the house.

As for Yue Mingxuan, Yue Dashan said he didn’t see it.

Yue Mingxuan didn't think there was any problem, mainly because he was used to it. As long as his little sister was around, his parents never saw anyone else.

At this time, everyone in the family had had lunch and went about their business. Yuedashan had not fully recovered from his serious injury. Mrs. Wang strictly ordered him not to go out and wander around, but he was a restless person, so he started playing at home. Organize the vegetable patch.

Yue Mingzhu called her servants to serve tea. After everyone sat down, she gave a brief introduction. "Dad, this is Old Mrs. Xue, who came from the capital. By chance, the old Mrs. accepted me and Third Brother as disciples. From now on, Old Mrs. Xue will live in our house and teach Third Brother about knowledge in his spare time. "

Yuedashan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly got up to greet him.

Although he didn't know how big an official the Taifu was, he knew he was a high official. With his guidance, wouldn't the third son have more hope in the imperial examination? When the son becomes an official, his daughter Zhuzhu will become the daughter of an official family.

The old lady hurriedly supported Yuedashan and said in an approachable manner: "There is no need to be polite. This is at home, so these customs are unnecessary. Speaking of which, I also like to tinker with crops since I became an official. I just didn't have a companion before, but now I'm fine." Now, we can be together in the future!"

Yuedashan: "Huh?"

A learned old lady also loves farming? Are the hobbies of scholars these days so special?

But he was also happy to have someone who shared the same hobbies with him. He had always loved farming all his life. Seeing the crops growing well, he felt a different kind of satisfaction. This feeling was indescribable.

Yuedashan started talking non-stop when talking about farming, as if he had opened up his chat box, and his eyes shone with a strange light.

Yue Mingzhu has never seen such a side of her father. In her impression, her father is like an old scalper. He works constantly, tirelessly, is honest and kind, and rarely talks. She did not expect that her father actually has a passion for farming. With such enthusiasm, if I had put this aside in my previous life, I would have been a proper agricultural scientist.

The old master also discovered this. He found that this month Yue Dashan actually had a lot of insights when talking about farming. Although his words were simple and unpretentious, his insights could not even be matched by many agricultural officials in the imperial court. He was a talent!

He has indeed become interested in agriculture since he became an official. Agriculture is the foundation of the country, and most people rely on farming for a living. However, food production cannot be increased. People work hard for a year and can barely make ends meet. If there is a disaster, It is even more difficult to maintain food and clothing. In the past few years, he has been studying books on agriculture, hoping to make a breakthrough in grain production and try his best to let the people live a life without worries about food and clothing. Only in this way can the country and the people be safe.

He thought that he had come to the right place this time. Yuedashan was really an unexpected surprise for him!

Since they hadn't eaten yet, Yue Mingzhu saw that the two of them were chatting happily, so she went to the kitchen to cook.

She didn't have the time to cook a big meal, so she decided to simply make a pot of fried noodles.

She has strong hands and strong noodles, and the noodles she makes are very chewy and smooth. Her family loves to eat her noodles, but she thinks it is a waste of time and rarely cooks.

At such an age, the old lady came here specifically for their brother and sister. No matter whose favor it was, it was a benefit to their brother and sister, for which she was very grateful.

She is not stupid, she naturally knows that the old master cannot accept a disciple so easily. The reason why he traveled thousands of miles to come is probably because of Xiao Jingyu.

Thinking of Xiao Jingyu, Yue Mingzhu's heart felt warm. Although this person seemed careless, he was rough and subtle. He even thought of these things.

If he thinks about her like this, she will never let him down. If he works hard towards her, she will overcome all difficulties and stand by his side without fear of hardships or dangers.

The noodles were prepared quickly, and the aroma was overflowing. When Yue Mingzhu walked to the hall with the noodles, the old lady, a foodie, could smell the aroma, and she and Yue Dashan could no longer talk anymore.

He stood up from his seat and walked quickly towards the dining table. As he walked, he asked, "Girl Mingzhu, what delicious food did you make? Why does it taste so good?"

In just a short time, the old lady became familiar enough to call her Pearl Girl.

Yue Mingzhu filled a bowl of noodles and handed it to him, saying: "Old lady, don't dislike it. I'm in a hurry right now, so I made noodles with soybean paste, and I will officially serve you in the evening."

The old lady was hungry and greedy, so she quickly took a bite, her eyes shining.

Really fragrant!
