Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 468
Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

Taoyuan Island is like spring all year round. Except for some troubles during the rainy season, the rest of the year is warm, which is very suitable for growing crops.

Unlike Donghao, the area near Quanzhou is fine, and they grow twice a year.Near Kyoto or to the north, there is one crop a year, and in some places, the mountains are even covered by heavy snow for half a year.

Relatively speaking, Taoyuan Island is really a magical existence.As long as the farmers are willing to work hard and nourish the soil well, three crops a year will not be a problem.

Every time they think of three great harvests a year, everyone on Taoyuan Island feels as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and they have endless strength.Almost before the sky brightened, there were already many busy figures in the field.

Occasionally, Ding Wei was free, and Tong Yunying carried Qing'er and Brother Yue up to the top of the castle.The stone fort was closed in a circular shape, and the open space on the top was divided into four parts besides the watchout post for the guards.

Part of it is used to dry food such as food and salted fish, part is used to dry clothes, shoes and socks for each household, and part is used to place tables, chairs, futons and the like for cooling at night.As for the part with the back against the mountain wall, it is shaded during the day and sheltered from the wind at night, so it was reserved for the master and his family to move around.

Danggui had asked someone to make a row of wooden boxes early on. Some shrubs were planted in the boxes, and they grew very tall in one rainy season, forming a private and quiet space. The most important thing is that it will not block the view of the farmland and the sea. .

Ding Wei hugged her son and daughter and walked around the roof for a few times. She was very satisfied. Looking at the farmland in the distance, she was also in a good mood. She turned her head and told Lianqiao, "Everyone works hard these days. Don't be stingy about food. , add some meat dishes."

"Master is soft-hearted," Lian Qiao, who has been in charge of the most minor affairs recently, is a little housekeeper. Hearing this, she couldn't help complaining, "I'm afraid the people below are used to rewards like this. I will reward them later. , and blame the master for being stingy."

"No," Ding Wei didn't care. In her opinion, these people chose to follow their husband and wife when they were in trouble. This trust and friendship are the most valuable, and the rest are not important.What's more, these days are the time when she is busy working on construction. As the head of the house, she can't do anything else, so she should give more food and strength.

"The fat pigs in the pen should be killed, and the next time the family comes to the fleet, at worst, tell them to bring two more boats of fat pigs."

No matter how capable and pungent the maids of Dang Gui are, they are still unmarried girls who like cleanliness. When they heard this, they couldn't help wrinkling their noses and shouting, "Oh my god! , Remember which ship it was at that moment, and it will never carry people in the future."

Sister-in-law Cheng, Mrs. Bai and Sister-in-law Zhao all laughed. Sister-in-law Cheng spent the longest time with these maids, and most of the time she treated them as half-girls, so she joked, "You two are lucky , stay by the master's side to serve. If this is married to a farmer, who might not raise pigs. Not to mention the smell of pig manure, even when the old sow gives birth, she will stay up all night and stay by her side."

"Oh, sister-in-law. Let's not talk about this, but quickly talk about the flowers embroidered on the master's new skirt. It's so hot that it's scary just after it doesn't rain!"

Forsythia almost pinched her nose to change the words, causing Sister-in-law Cheng to raise her hand and nod her forehead.

Ding Wei wiped off the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and interjected, "Any kind of flower is good for embroidery, but it must be thinner and thinner. The shoes are also waiting for me to draw a few new styles, making them light and cool. The climate here is different." Dong Hao, if he still sticks to those rules, he might die of heat while still being famous."

The others didn't like it, but Lianqiao, who ran around all day, was the first to agree, "Master is right, I'm going to be so hot, every time I go out, I have to drink a pot of herbal tea when I come back, my back is soaked." .”

"There's still some tulle in the storeroom, why don't you take it out and make a skirt?"

Dang Gui hesitated a little, but Lian Qiao and Bai Zhu shouted yes, they didn't want to delay for a moment, they ran to the storeroom to fetch things and came back like a gust of wind.

Everyone immediately removed the tea set, set up a sewing basket on the table, and started sewing.

A few children who were playing across the street secretly poked their heads over when they heard the movement, looking curiously.

It happened that Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Bai walked to the side of the bush, picked the leaves and coaxed Qinger and Brother Yue to play. Seeing this, she gave them some snacks.Several children were only three or four years old, chatting non-stop around the two of them.

Sister-in-law Zhao and Mrs. Bai actually couldn't understand either, because most of the children came from near Quanzhou, and the dialect was very heavy, but this did not prevent them from getting along with the children.

When Ding Wei saw it, she paid attention to it, and when the two came back, she asked, "If your family is willing, you can take the child to live with him. Although I don't know what will happen in the future, it seems to be safe for the time being."

"Really?"

The child is the flesh that fell from the mother's body, and it is another intestine hanging outside the body. How could the two of them not miss it after being away from home for a long time.

Previously, when he was still in the palace, the master promised to take the child with him, but it happened suddenly, and he was fortunate that he was not too impatient when he was living outside.Now that he has settled down safely, in the dead of night, he can't help but miss the baby more and more, but it's hard to mention it to the master.

How could they not be grateful for their master being so considerate.

The two quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and Ding Wei helped them up, looking a little guilty.

"You were supposed to take good care of your children at home, but you didn't expect to be displaced with our family. I'm sorry for you."

"The master beat the slaves, it's what slaves should do."

Sister-in-law Zhao and Lady Bai kowtowed in fear, if they originally complained about the foolish loyalty of the elders at home, but when they got to the master's side, they finally understood the reason.Such a master is indeed worthy of their family to follow.

Everyone thought of the family members on the other side of the sea, and their hearts were a little sore, but they quickly talked about other things. Basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation were trivial matters, but they also became lively.

Maybe Ding Wei talked too much, God was a little naughty, and quickly slapped her on the head.

Just when the white lady and sister-in-law Zhao were excitedly planning to ask the fleet to send a message home next time, the natives who had just sacrificed fruit came again, this time not just the leader and his "samurai", He also brought the whole family's women, children and family assets.

With such a family and a family, and each of them looked panicked like a rabbit seeing a tiger, even if they couldn't speak the language, they could guess that they must have encountered something dangerous.

Chu Lao San was the first to think of that weird island, and so was Ding Wei. In other words, there are no fools in the world, and soon everyone thought of it.

All the people in the field were withdrawn, and everyone gathered around the gate of the stone castle to discuss, waiting for the masters to make a decision.

In the meeting hall of Shibao, at this moment, Ding Wei took the main seat, Chu Laosan and Shan Yi took the lower seats, and the native leaders were on the opposite side.On weekdays, the native leader would definitely be surprised by the various porcelain ornaments in the hall, but now he is squatting on the chair like a quail, his eyes are chattering around, monitoring all corners in all directions, with a look of danger at any time, and at any time. The appearance of avoiding.

Both Ding Wei and Chu Laosan looked solemnly, and Chu Laosan was the first to speak, "Madam, this subordinate will take someone to investigate. The so-called know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. You must first understand the background of the other party and how many people there are." , so we can get ready."

Ding Wei shook her head, "Our big ship is too conspicuous, I'm afraid it will be discovered before we get close. It's not beautiful if you lose the opportunity. Why don't you take a few good hands to touch it from the land, quietly check it out and come back It is best to discuss countermeasures. There are not many people, and it is easy to escape if something happens."

Ding Laosan thought for a while, his subordinates must be good players if they charge into the battle, but few of them can handle the lightness of the body, so they are a little embarrassed.

Shan Yi, who had been silent all this time, glanced at his daughter-in-law from the corner of his eyes as if he was about to speak, and said quickly, "Master, the left and right fortresses are fine recently, why don't I go with General Chu."

Yunying felt sweet in her heart, but still followed her, "Master, I will go with you."

Ding Wei immediately refused, "No, you are pregnant now, and there is something wrong on the way. You don't feel bad, but I still have a conscience. Stay home!"

Danggui is also fighting for a few, "That's right, sister Ying, you are not the only one who knows how to make light work, we are not bad. This time it is shifts, and it is our turn."

Yunying couldn't help it, she had severe morning sickness recently, and she really didn't have much energy, so she could only watch everyone discuss it properly, and decided on Danggui and Forsythia, Shan Yi and Chu Lao San as a small team to investigate.

Yunying couldn't bear to think of those natives, and asked, "Master, those natives..."

Ding Wei is also a little embarrassed, if these natives are taken into the stone castle, they will not be able to live there, and secondly, they are outsiders after all, in case there is a conflict that cannot be resolved.But if they don't accept it, seeing their terrified appearance, I can't bear it.

"How about this, on the mountain wall behind, didn't we dig some caves for the stone quarry before, put them there first, and share some food every day. After this matter is resolved, they will naturally go back."

The cave is behind the stone fort, it is hidden and spacious, it is not wrong to live there.If someone comes to attack, they have to go through the stone fort first, which is even safer.

Everyone thought the arrangement was good, so they brought the native leaders down to make arrangements.

Ding Wei changed into a set of brocade dresses, wore a full set of gem headgear, and even put on makeup and powder. She dressed dignifiedly and luxuriously, and then took Yunying's hand and went to the gate of the stone castle.

All the farmers and craftsmen were sweating on their foreheads, but it still didn't disperse.Compared with the approaching unknown danger, a little heat is nothing at all.

"Otherwise, shall we go home?
A timid woman retreated with her child in her arms.But it was soon interrupted by another dark-faced woman with a big mouth.

"Shen family, you can't be heartless! Let's come here with the master. The food we eat and the clothes we wear are all rewards from the master. There are fishing boats going fishing every day, and you don't have to pay taxes when you come back. It will be cultivated soon. Xintian, we can eat as much food as we grow, and we don’t have to hand it over to the government. What a wonderful day this is, I couldn’t even imagine it before. If you want to go back and continue to eat and wear warm, I don’t Stop it, but I will continue to live a good life here with my master!"
