Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

"Husband, come quickly! Come and see the good news! Very good news!"

Early in the morning, Mei Yin was still feeding the pigs when he heard a series of shouts coming in.

Mei Yin turned around and saw his young wife jogging towards him, cheering and jumping for joy.

His face was full of excitement.

It's obvious that something good has happened.

After seeing this scene, Mei Yin was even more excited than her.

"Yourong, slow down, don't run! What if you fall down?"

As he spoke, he quickly rushed to Princess Ningguo and supported her.

When Princess Ningguo heard Mei Yin's words and saw Mei Yin's reaction, she suddenly realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

I hurriedly slowed down my pace and tried to walk more steadily.

By the way, I don’t know if it’s because Princess Ningguo herself has very good physical fitness.

Or maybe it's because this is the first child.

Anyway, Princess Ningguo has been in good health since she had a child.

Even though it's been a few months now, I'm already showing a little bit of pregnancy.

It's still easy to forget that you are pregnant.

For example, now.

"Yourong, you have to remember that you won't dare to run away like this next time.

Watching you running here, my heart is trembling. "

There was some nervousness in Mei Yin's voice.

Looking at my husband who is always calm and fearless, he has become like this at this time.

Princess Ningguo smiled embarrassedly.

"I understand, husband. I will definitely remember it."

As he said that, he leaned over and kissed Mei Yin on the face.

With some coquettishness.

Mei Yin's stern face suddenly couldn't hold back any more.

I really can't do anything about my own young wife!

"Yourong, what's the matter that makes you so happy?"

Mei Yin looked at Princess Ningguo with some curiosity and asked.

When Princess Ningguo heard Mei Yin ask this, she became excited again.

"Husband, this is good news! Very good news! You will know when you go and take a look."

As he spoke, he pulled Mei Yin outside.

Mei Yin followed his young wife outside.

Soon, they arrived at the greenhouse.

At this time, the place is full of green.

“Husband, look, there are cucumbers growing here.

There’s more than one!”

Princess Ningguo said happily, it's like offering a treasure.

"That watermelon over there has grown a little watermelon too!"

Princess Ningguo is a person who can't sit still.

I often grow vegetables.

After Mei Yin built the greenhouse, he told her more than once that she was not allowed to grow vegetables anymore.

But Princess Ningguo is fine and likes to hang out here.

Take care of the vegetables when you have time...

Up to now, she is basically responsible for preparing these dishes.

Of course, it was Mei Yin who was responsible for getting water into the greenhouse.

After pregnancy, proper exercise is also necessary.

So Mei Yin didn't say anything more.

It is precisely because of this that Princess Ningguo becomes so happy at this time.

After all, this is the result of her labor.

When people have put in corresponding efforts and gained something, they will be able to appreciate the joy of the harvest even more.

Not to mention, the fruits and vegetables planted at this time are out of season.

"Haha, it really grew out!

Yourong, you took care of all this!"

Mei Yin was also smiling happily and immediately came to support his wife.

You still have to coax your own little wife.

Princess Ningguo's face lit up with joy when she heard this.

“It’s mainly because of the greenhouse you built, my husband.

Otherwise, who would have thought that it is possible to grow vegetables this way?"

After that, she couldn't help but say with longing: "Husband, it won't be long before you can eat crispy cucumbers and sweet watermelons!"

She hoped this would happen soon.

Whenever I think of these, my heart is filled with anticipation.

“Yourong, if you want these things to come to fruition, there are still some things you need to do.

It’s not enough just to do that.”

Mei Yin looked at his young wife and spoke.

Princess Ningguo seemed a little curious and didn't know what her husband meant.

Mei Yin said: "It just needs to pollinate the flowers."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait for me here for a while."

Having said that, he quickly went back and got a brush and a piece of paper and walked over.

"That's it."

Mei Yin said and started demonstrating directly.

Bring the brush and paper close to the male flower of the cucumber and lightly brush it with the brush.

Soon some pollen was swept from above to the paper below.

Then he went closer to the mother flower with a cucumber on it and used the brush that was sticky with some pollen and the pollen on the paper to apply it to the pistil.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Princess Ningguo looked at Mei Yin's actions and felt both curious and a little confused.

Mei Yin smiled and said, “This is pollinating the flowers.

If there is no pollination, these mother flowers will wither after a period of time and no melons will be produced.

This is true not just for cucumbers, but also for watermelons, eggplants, etc.

Pollination is required before fruit can be produced.

Princess Ningguo seemed very surprised when she heard this.

This was a place she had never thought of before.

"My lord, this is not right!
We didn’t have to do this before with the flowers and fruits we planted in our fields; they would bear fruit on their own.

Why do we need to do this now?"

Princess Ningguo's voice was full of doubt.

Mei Yin smiled and said, "This is because outside there are bees, butterflies, and some moths that collect nectar.

Bring some pollen from the male flower to the female flower.

In this way, we naturally don't need to do these anymore.

But now, with the weather so cold, these things are extinct.

There are no butterflies or bees in our greenhouse, so we must pollinate manually."

In order to make things more common, Mei Yin looked at Princess Ningguo and said with a sly smile:
“These fruits and vegetables, like us humans, are divided into male and female.

Just like us, without my hard work.

How can you have any result if you have no tolerance? "

The princess of the Principality seemed embarrassed when she heard this, with a bit of coquettishness on her face: "Husband, you are so bad!
Anything can be tied to this!"

But even though she said this, she already knew that what her husband said must be true.

This principle is indeed very easy to understand.

"My husband, you are amazing. You even know all this!

Fortunately, my husband, you reminded me, otherwise, the vegetables here would not bear fruit!

Everything is in vain!"

Princess Ningguo seemed somewhat fortunate and spoke with admiration.

"Husband, how do you know this?"

Mei Yin smiled faintly and straightened his back.

“I didn’t notice much, but if you observe more often in your daily life, some things will become clear at a glance.

This is not something that is difficult to understand.”

Mei Yin did something here without leaving any trace.

Princess Ningguo looked at Mei Yin with stars in her eyes.

I just feel that my husband is worthy of being my husband.

Know everything!

These may seem like trivial matters, but in reality they are not.

If my husband hadn't told me, I would never have thought of it.

Not only the husband, but also many farmers who often grow crops do not know the mystery here.
This is my husband!
Know everything!

Two sentences suddenly popped up in his mind - understanding the world is knowledge, and understanding human nature is writing!

To describe my husband, it is really the best

Right now, I am here, studying seriously with my husband.

He quickly took over the task from Mei Yin and did it himself.

For a moment, I just felt it was very novel...

This matter was really beyond his expectations.

This was something she had never thought of before...

……

The days go by, and it gets colder day by day.

During this process, Mei Yin also repaired the sunrooms of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Prince of Qin Zhu Chong, Prince of Jin Zhu Gang, Prince of Yan Zhu Di, and Prince of Zhou Zhu Su one by one.

The built sunroom received unanimous praise from these uncles and sisters-in-law.

Everyone thinks that the sun room built by Mei Yin is perfect...

……

Soon, more than a month had passed.

Mei Yin once again walked into the greenhouse. This time, he was holding a bamboo basket and a sickle.
Princess Ningguo and Xiaochan were by his side.

Soon, we came to the edge of a vegetable patch.

The tender leeks grow here.

After raising it for so long, it’s finally time to harvest.

He squatted down, cut some of the plump leeks and put them in the basket.

After doing all this, look at the Chinese toon tree transplanted here, it has also returned to spring in this warm environment.

He broke off some tender shoots from it, then walked to the cucumber rack and picked four or five tender cucumbers with thorns on them.

There is no need to wash it. Just stroke it up and down with your hands, then put it in your mouth and take a bite.

Suddenly, my mouth is filled with the fragrance of cucumber
This feeling is simply unmentionable!

Beauty reaches the depths of the soul!
After picking the leeks, I made a leek fried egg and also made scrambled eggs with toon.

Pick up three juicy cucumbers, wash them and pat them cool.

Bring it to the sun room to eat.

I feel extremely satisfied feeling the fragrance of cucumber, as well as the fresh taste of toon and leek.

Princess Ningguo also had a big appetite and ate a lot.

Eating the vegetables that you grow yourself, especially the vegetables that are not available anywhere else at this time of year.

This feeling is undoubtedly very comfortable.

Just thinking about it makes me feel particularly happy...

……

The New Year is getting closer and the weather is getting colder.

But the feelings in everyone's hearts became more and more different, full of passion.

After all, the New Year is approaching.

Many people will have some special feelings.

This is especially true for the people of Shuangshui Village this year, as well as several other villages belonging to Meiyin Manor.

This time they are looking forward to the upcoming New Year's Day with great anticipation.

After all, in the past, it was very difficult to celebrate the New Year.

For many people, the New Year is a difficult time.

This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese New Year is called the New Year's Gate.

After a busy year, I can't even get a piece of meat to eat.

But this time, it was completely different.

This time they have more options.

Because of Mr. Mei's presence, their lives changed dramatically.

Every household has surplus food and surplus money.

It's no longer like before, miserable and with nothing.

Nowadays, every household is slaughtering chickens and ducks to prepare for the New Year.

Prepare to have this, for them, the most fruitful year ever!

Even Zhang Lao, who was stingy, broke the rules this time and got some white flour to steam buns that were black on the inside and white on the outside...

The children all had new clothes.

It has been made and is placed in a box waiting to be worn on the first day of the New Year.

At this time, Zhuangzi could hear sporadic firecrackers from time to time.

These firecrackers were something that many children could not even dream of in the past.

Only a few children set off firecrackers.

It's different now.

Many people have become much richer.

In the past, people who would rather spend every penny have become much more generous.

Start buying some firecrackers for the children at home and let them set them off.

The children were so happy that they were grinning.

They went in groups to use firecrackers to blow up ice holes, blow up cow dung, and scare the dogs in the village...

But it really shows the human dislike for dogs vividly.

Listen to the sound of cannons and watch the children laughing.

Mei Yin also couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

I felt that the sound of the cannons was getting closer and closer, and the taste of the New Year came out all of a sudden...

"What a sin! What a sin! I have just had a good life, but now I don't know what I am now.
Killing one chicken is enough, why kill two?

Let’s not talk about that, but also kill a duck, buy fish, and get a big goose?
Why so many eggs?

You are not living a good life?!"

In Shuangshui Village, there is Old Master Zhao who only has a few teeth left.

Looking at my own son, nagging him non-stop, I just felt extremely distressed.

The crutch kept hitting the ground!
If it weren’t for my really unsteady legs and feet.

He was so worried that he jumped up.

“That’s not how life works!”

"Dad, just take a rest.

Now that the family is well off, life is different from before.

Now that we have a good life, I want to do more things and make it more lively.

Now that Mr. Mei is here, our lives have become better.

Living a life that you never dared to imagine before?

In this case, we must have a good New Year! "

“That’s not the case!

Why didn't I realize before that you are a living loser! "

Old Master Zhao still disagreed.

“Life is good, but we can’t waste it like this.

Now it’s fine, who knows what will happen next? "

"Dad, take a rest!
With Mr. Mei here, our lives will only get better and better in the future."

As he said that, he took out a piece of braised meat?

A piece of fat and lean meat weighing half a pound was cut from it and wrapped in dry lotus leaves.

Hand it to Old Master Zhao.

"Dad, you eat."

"No! No! You spendthrift! This piece of food is more than what the family ate during previous Chinese New Year celebrations!"
I can't eat this!

Leave these for your grandchildren to eat."

"Dad! Take it.

There's a lot of food cooking in the pot.

They are indispensable.”

Having said that, he stuffed it into Old Master Zhao's hand.

Only then did Old Master Zhao accept it.

He kept muttering that he had committed a sin and was about to leave.

I went outside, got a small knife, cut off a small piece and put it in my mouth.

Chewing slowly.

Although he would sigh with regret from time to time, tears flowed from his cloudy eyes, shining with the light of happiness...

The New Year atmosphere at Mei Yin’s farm is simply amazing, it’s so good.

Mei Yin saw all this and was also extremely happy.

He is also preparing New Year's goods and has prepared a lot of things.

The smell of fireworks in this world really makes people feel intoxicated and at peace...

Three days before New Year's Eve, Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo left Shuangshui Village again and headed for the capital.

The car was packed full.

The most common ones are the two princesses of Mei Yinning. They grow cucumbers, cantaloupes, tender red toon shoots, crisp green leeks, long beans, and purple eggplants in the greenhouse.

More importantly, there are more than a dozen watermelons of different sizes.

Among them, the largest one even weighs fifteen or sixteen kilograms!
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. As a daughter and son-in-law, it is necessary for me to go back and send some New Year gifts.

Of course, in addition to sending New Year's goods, there is another important reason.

She wanted to find an opportunity to show off at her mother's house.

So this time, I directly picked all the vegetables grown in the greenhouse.

But Mei Yin didn't feel sorry at all.

After all, vegetables are grown to be eaten.

This is especially true when it concerns the reputation of one's wife.

This time, my wife and I are bringing back so many things, we will definitely be the coolest guys!
Let your young wife speak and act with confidence and feel more respected.

That alone is worth it!

……

"Wow! Cucumbers! Beans, watermelons, and Chinese toon, watermelon?!...

How come you brought so many things? ! "

Queen Ma looked at the juicy green vegetables and fresh fruits.

Full of surprises.

These green vegetables are very common, but in this cold winter, they are not common at all and are rare.

Since the weather turned cold, we mostly eat dried vegetables.

Green vegetables include radish and cabbage.

When Queen Ma saw so many juicy vegetables and fruits all of a sudden, she was so shocked!

After Mei Yin unloaded the things given to Empress Ma and the others, he soon went to the Prince's Eastern Palace again.

There are also the Palace of the Prince of Qin, the Palace of the Prince of Jin, the Palace of the Prince of Yan, the Palace of the Prince of Zhou, the Palace of Duke Cao, and Liu Bowen's place.

Naturally, the gifts given to them were not as many as those given to Empress Ma, and the variety was not as complete.

But these things still surprise them.

I just feel it's particularly rare.

Liu Bowen and his companions only took a little bit of the food that was difficult to preserve to taste, and were reluctant to eat the rest.

They were all put away sparsely, ready to be used to entertain guests during the New Year.

At this time, using these summer fruits and vegetables to entertain guests will definitely be very face-saving!
While admiring Mei Yin's great talent and thoughtfulness.

He also had the idea of ​​marrying his granddaughter to Mei Yin as soon as possible.

After all, they have been engaged for more than half a year, and it is time to talk about marriage.

The most important thing is to marry my granddaughter to Mei Yin as soon as possible... (End of this chapter)
