Chapter 103 The Proud Xu Lei

"Okay, everyone can eat," Yi Xue said with a smile, and took the lead in eating the apple, it was so sweet and beautiful.Some time ago, Yi Xue secretly ate every time, always feeling guilty, but now she can finally eat with peace of mind.

Sanya hugged a peach, put it in her mouth, immediately jumped up excitedly, then stared at the apples and pears on the plate, and then aimed at the ginseng fruit.

"I really don't let anything go," Zhang looked at Sanya's pretty appearance and laughed. "Sanya, here", Erya took a pear and handed it to Sanya.Sanya immediately hugged Erya and kissed her on the cheek, making Erya blush.

"If you want to eat in the future, come to my room, don't shout outside, or you won't have to eat," Yi Xuehu said to Sanya with a straight face.

Sanya's face turned bitter, and then she said obediently, "Eldest sister, I understand, Sanya didn't say anything, just secretly looking for elder sister"

This expression made everyone laugh.

Everyone started to work on their own. Now that there are people in the family, Mrs. Zhang is mainly in charge of the inner courtyard, and no longer cares about the affairs of the outer courtyard.Yi Xue is still busy, taking care of both internal and external.

The next day, early in the morning, Yi Xue was heard calling, her eyelids opened heavily, seeing Qiu Shui with a little anxiety.

"What's wrong with Qiushui?" Yi Xue still wanted to sleep, why did Qiushui call her so early.

"Miss, wake up, Master Xu lost his temper," Qiu Shui said anxiously.

Xu Lei lost his temper?what's the situation?Rubbing her temples, Yi Xue suddenly remembered that she had to learn martial arts in the morning, how she forgot about it, secretly blamed herself, immediately dressed and washed, then found a pair of loose clothes to put on, and simply pulled her hair up.

When I rushed outside, I saw Xu Lei with a gloomy face, with his hands on his hips, gnashing his teeth, and there was no one in front of him.

Oops, I forgot to notify everyone yesterday, Yi Xue looked at Xu Lei who was staring at her in embarrassment.

"Miss, where is my person?" Xu Lei asked solemnly.

Yi Xue said awkwardly, "Yesterday, I forgot about that..."

"Forgot? How could you forget such an important thing?" Xu Lei's tone was filled with indignation.I got up early on purpose, and I wanted to be proud of being a master for a while, but when I came to see, there was no one in the yard, which made me feel so embarrassing.

Yi Xue was taken aback, and pretended to be very serious, "Then tell them to get up."

"No, the time has passed now. Since the eldest lady made a mistake, she should be punished," Xu Lei said bitterly, but he was extremely excited in his heart. It was a wonderful day to finally find a chance to take revenge.

Seeing Xu Lei's unstoppable expression, Yi Xue didn't guess what Xu Lei was thinking, "Okay..."

"No, how can you punish the eldest lady?" Qiu Shui was anxious, who's servant would dare to punish the master?What's more, she is still my favorite eldest lady.This guy dared to be rude to the eldest lady, stepped forward and stood up.

"Are you punished instead of Miss?" Xu Lei snorted coldly, with a playful look on his face.

Qiu Shui puffed up his chest, "If you are punished, you will be punished. What do you think I will do?"

Yi Xue looked at Qiushui, but she didn't expect Qiushui to look very stable and stubborn at times.But I like the stubbornness.

Hey, Xu Lei looked at Qiu Shui in surprise, and said, "I'll punish you to stand for an hour."

Qiu Shui looked at Xu Lei bitterly, and then learned to stand up, with his legs slightly forward and his arms in his arms.Xu Lei looked at Qiushui's strange posture, how could he be standing on horseback?

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. This is standing on horseback? You have a steamed bun in your arms." Xu Lei couldn't help pointing at Qiushui and laughing.

Qiu Shui was already annoyed, but when Xu Lei smiled like this, his eyes turned red with grievance.Yi Xue couldn't help laughing just now, but seeing Qiu Shui's aggrieved appearance, her heart ached.

"You're shameless," Qiu Shui anxiously didn't know what words to use to scold Xu Lei.She is only 13 years old, and she has never used curse words, she is far worse than Shang Xue.The daughter's family was already thin-skinned, so she wiped her tears and cried, like pear blossoms with rain.

Xu Lei seemed to have never encountered such a situation before. He was startled, then panicked, and said helplessly, "Don't, don't cry."

In his mouth, he whispered, "Women are really troublesome. What the master said is right. Women are terrible, and women who can cry are even more terrible."

Yi Xue stood aside, heard Xu Lei muttering, glared at him, and then comforted Qiushui, "Don't cry, I'll do it, I'm the one who should be punished. I'll avenge you later"

"Miss, I can hold on." Although Qiu Shui was crying, his body did not move.

"Okay, let's come together," Yi Xue said, and then took a horse stance, which was very standard.

Xu Lei saw Yi Xue's posture, it was a standard horse stance, he asked suspiciously: "Do you know martial arts?"

Yi Xue didn't answer. When she was a child, her mother taught her Taijiquan. Later, her body became weaker and weaker, so she didn't practice it. However, she can still do the basic things.

It wasn't until dawn that all the family members came out, only to see Yi Xue and Qiu Shui standing strangely in the yard, with Xu Lei staring beside them.

After waiting for an hour, everyone knew the cause and effect from Qiu Shui's mouth. On the one hand, everyone complained that Xu Lei dared to physically punish the eldest lady, and secretly scolded Xu Lei.At the same time, I am also grateful to the eldest lady for being punished for herself, and said that they will report on time the next day.

So Xu Lei became a street mouse, and immediately became a loner.But this guy's Ah Q spirit is so strong that he doesn't care at all.On the contrary, I was very proud and finally got revenge, hehe, although you are better than me, who made me a master?It's such a nice day today
Seeing Xu Lei's complacency, Qiu Shui became furious, muttered, and looked at him bitterly.Xu Lei twisted his neck triumphantly, and left directly.Yi Xue was speechless, these are still children.

The matter was revealed just like that, Yi Xue had dinner, and then went to see the progress of the greenhouse, which was very fast.Yi Xue knew in her heart that Zhang Xian was trying her best to repay herself.Chatted with Zhang Xian, pointed out a few unreasonable places, and turned back with Qiushui.

"Looks like it's time to buy a few oxen, otherwise the five sets of plow tools won't be able to move." Yi Xue thought that the five sets of plow tools are very heavy and cannot be done by manpower.It would be great if there was a tractor, Yi Xue longed for it, and then called Tianjia.

"Boss Tian, ​​go to the market and buy five healthy cows. It's time for autumn plowing." Yi Xue handed over the money to Tianjia.

In the afternoon, Tianjia returned with five oxen.These five cows are very strong, Yi Xue looked at them, they were really good, very satisfied, Tianjia's vision was really good.

"Director Tianjia has good eyesight," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Tianjia smiled, "Miss, I've been dealing with farming all my life, and this little thing can't trouble me. Well, the total is 190 taels of silver, 35 taels per head, and 15 taels for the government's record."

"Oh, it's not too expensive, let's take the cow to feed the grass first, the work will be heavier in a few days," Yi Xue said.

"You also prepare. When the greenhouse is built, they will take Tian Bing and the others to plow the land. We are going to plant seeds," Yi Xue said again.

After Yi Xue made arrangements, she asked Qiu Shui to fetch water and wash her face.Sitting in the yard, tapping the table lightly with his left finger and resting his cheek on his right hand, thinking how busy he has been recently.

"Miss, Madam asked the servant to bring a bowl of sweet soup for Miss to taste." Dong Xiang brought the plate over.

Yi Xue nodded and watched Dongxiang put down the sweet soup. The so-called sweet soup is sugar water.After taking a sip, she felt comfortable, "What are Second Miss and Third Miss busy with?" Yi Xue asked.

"Back, miss, the second miss is learning how to sew with my wife, and the third miss is playing in the yard," Dongxiang replied honestly.

Yi Xue sighed, the second girl was quiet, she followed her mother, who did the third girl follow?Could it be that he followed the father he had never seen before?Yi Xue immediately took a deep breath, and secretly quenched herself a few times.

"Dong Xiang, how are you doing your homework recently?" Yi Xue asked casually.

"Miss, this month, everyone has studied very seriously. I can already count numbers up to 89, and I know [-] characters." Dongxiang said excitedly. She never thought that there would be such a thing. Opportunity to read and write.

"Well," Yi Xue nodded, "Go ahead, I will take an exam this afternoon, No.1 in the exam will have a prize, and the last one will be punished."

"Yes, miss," Dongxiang replied immediately, thinking to herself, with her own efforts, she should be the first one.

"Miss, Zhongyuan Festival is coming soon, what's your plan?" Qiu Shui asked softly.

Zhongyuan Festival?Yi Xue was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "What is Zhongyuan Festival?"

Qiu Shui was stunned, then looked at Yi Xue suspiciously, and quickly replied, "The Zhongyuan Festival is on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and the ancestors are to be worshipped."

"Oh, what day is it today?" Yi Xue asked.

"Today is the second day of August," Qiu Shui replied.

"How do you celebrate the usual Zhongyuan Festival?" Yi Xue didn't know that the Mid-Autumn Festival in this world was called Zhongyuan Festival, so naturally she didn't know how they celebrated it.

Qiu Shui said, "Miss, the Zhongyuan Festival is the most important day in the empire. We need to worship our ancestors, and please protect our ancestors. So we need to prepare sacrifices, food, cakes, and snacks. After worshiping our ancestors, we will watch the moon and play."

It is similar to the previous life, but the difference is that the [-]th of August here does not mean reunion, Yi Xue thought with a sullen head, "If this is the case, I know."

"Miss, I met Madam just now and asked me what Miss would like to eat at noon?" Dongxiang asked beamingly, still thinking about how to win the championship in the afternoon.

"I'll give it up later," Yi Xue said, then stared at Dongxiang, "What's so happy about it?"

Dongxiang blushed, and murmured, "No, it's nothing."

Qiu Shui covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss, this girl is probably thinking about how to get No.1 in the exam this afternoon. She has worked hard during this time."
