Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 247

Wen Bo quickly got up and bowed in the direction of the main room. Mr. Zhao didn't get up, but he also cupped his hands, thanked the spring equinox with a smile, and said, "I, old man, since I ate the dim sum at your house, the rough food next to you It will be difficult to enter again. If you leave this village in the future, what will you do?"

Chun Equinox knew that the old man was joking, so he said with a smile, "Then the old man should live in the village for the elderly. We have beautiful mountains and rivers here, and the folk customs are simple. What a wonderful place."

"Haha, I think so too."

"Then Mr. Zhao and Uncle Wen will do it first, I'll go in and get busy." The spring equinox bowed, leaving the two old men to drink tea and have snacks.Every time Mr. Zhao tasted something, he would praise a few words. Wen Bo accompanied him with a smile, his face flushed, and he felt very honored.

Old Mr. Zhao was half full, took a sip of tea, swallowed the residue of snacks in his mouth, and said, "Brother Wen, a close servant girl on the vernal equinox is also so sensible and courteous, and she knows the details, which shows that the wife of your family is definitely not an ordinary woman." It is not easy for even a man to set up such a huge family business."

Wen Bo nodded and said with a smile, "What Mr. Zhao said is that everyone in our family must practice calligraphy and reading. The little ink in my chest is only learned after I came to the family. Our wife attaches great importance to these things. Well done, there will be rewards. So these maids and younger generations are working very hard."

"Oh?" Mr. Zhao was surprised when he heard for the first time that a master's family supported his servants to read and practice calligraphy, and the whole house was mobilized. He pointed to Ada and the others who were carrying hoes from the field, and asked, "The whole house reads?"

Wen Bo nodded, and couldn't help but say in a proud tone, "Of course, they are the first batch to enter the mansion. They have already graduated from teachers, and they are proficient in everything from reading, writing and accounting."

After speaking, he saw Mr. Zhao's face obviously disbelieving, so he got angry and called Ada who was walking in the front, "Ada, come here. Mr. Zhao doesn't believe that you can write and count, and wants to test you .”

Ah Da smiled stupidly, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, what are you going to test?"

Mr. Zhao didn't refuse, he pondered for a moment, and didn't dare to ask too difficult questions, worried that if Ah Da couldn't answer, he would embarrass his new friend and make people uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth and made a speech. Buying and selling issues.

"A man went to the city to buy vegetables for eight cents a catty. He sold a total of nine catties. On the way back he bought a chicken for twelve cents. Ask him how much money he has left in his hand when he gets home?"

Ah Da chuckled, opened his mouth and answered, "There are sixty Wen left."

Mr. Zhao did not expect that he could calculate it so quickly, and asked in surprise, "How did you calculate it so quickly?"

Ah Da scratched his head, "Eight nine 72, minus twelve, it is sixty, very simple."

"Eight Nine 72? What algorithm is this?" Mr. Zhao hurriedly asked.

It's a pity that Wen Bo woke up suddenly, remembered the three family rules, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid. These algorithms were taught by his wife, so how could he tell outsiders without his wife's consent.So he hurriedly waved his hand to ask Ada to go back, poured a cup of tea for Mr. Zhao, who was full of doubts, and said, "Mr. Zhao, I was reckless just now, the old man. There are rules in our house, and you can't spread it out at will, otherwise the family will deal with it. Please don't be offended, just pretend you didn't hear anything, okay?"

He originally thought that Mr. Zhao would continue to question, and even planned to ask hard, but unfortunately, he didn't know, but all the scholars shouted, An Bang will stabilize the country, and help His Majesty govern the world, with a selfless attitude, in fact, They are all extremely narrow-minded. Those who write poems and strategies have different schools, and those who study mathematics have their own exclusive algorithms, and no one is willing to share them.

Therefore, when Wen Bo said that the master's family would not allow rumors, Mr. Zhao had no special thoughts except for some regrets. After all, he had seen too many examples of such self-preservation.

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Wen Bo was slightly relieved, picked up some interesting things and chatted again, secretly vigilant, he must not make this mistake again in the future, if he caused trouble to his wife, he would really have no face to live...

Mu Ai stood in the courtyard of Sanjin, watching a few maids rushing in and out to clean up the house. Although they cleaned the house on weekdays, they hadn't lived in it for almost a year after all, and there was still some dust in the corners.

Turning around and asking the vernal equinox, "Where are the children?"

Chun Equinox smiled and said, "I just went back to Xikuayuan to change my clothes, and then I went to the lotus pond, probably at the tree house."

Mu Ai smiled lightly, pulled Shuan Shuan who had just entered the door, and made a few simple jokes.The little girl was half coquettish and half wronged. She stretched out her hand to show her sister, pouted and said, "Sister, look at my hand, it hurts and itches."

Mu Ai looked down, didn't she, two white and well-proportioned little hands were covered with very fine red marks, presumably scratched by something with sharp thorns.The wound wasn't deep at first, but maybe because of the itching, the little girl scratched it a few times and it became more red and swollen.

He ordered Chun Equinox to find a wooden basin for washing his hands, scooped up spring water from the space, and took his little hand to soak in it. The cool and moist feeling made Shuan Shuan obviously much better, and his fingers moved happily in the water.

"Why did you make your hands look like this? You didn't sneak up to the mountain to play, did you?" Mu Ai frowned, her tone slightly reproachful. Although all the beasts on the mountain were subdued, neither she nor Ouyang was there, even Dabai and Erbai are not here, if one of them suddenly becomes violent, who can save her.

Knowing that his sister was angry, Shuan Shuan quickly explained, "No, sister, I didn't go up the mountain. These wounds were scratched by the burrs on the melon seedlings. Sister, you don't know, the melon seedlings have already started to produce melons, which are tender and small. " The little girl thought of the fruits of her hard work for more than a month, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, and she didn't feel any pain in her hands, so she grabbed the cloth towel, wiped it twice, and then led Mu Ai to the back door.
After turning around the door, you will arrive at the melon field within a few steps. The small one-acre field is covered with green melon vines, and there are large leaves on the vines, hiding the small flowers in the gaps and shy and timid ones The little melon egg who likes to show up is really cute and gratifying.

Mu Ai walked around the melon field and looked around. The field was very clean and weeds were rarely seen. I thought, Shuan Shuan really put his heart into it, no wonder his little hands were scratched like that.I couldn't help laughing and praised the little girl, and the little girl grinned and clamored for a reward.

Mu Ai scratched her little nose, and said angrily, "There are too many girls, just like your nephews and nieces, you will always be rewarded."

Shuan Shuan refused, hugged his sister's arm and shook it, making Muai dizzy, and quickly agreed, "This coquettish way is becoming more and more like Simba, okay, okay, whatever you want, my sister will give it to you."

Shuan Shuan's goal was achieved, and he hurriedly tidied up his sister's sleeves, saying, "Sister, I want a bracelet."

"Bracelet? How did you think of wanting this, but it's been a long time since I added jewelry to you. Tell me, what do you want, pearls? Or pure gold?"

"No, I want the drawings drawn by my sister, not those tacky ones." Shuan Shuan gave his sister a small compliment.

Mu Ai smiled and said, "You girl, you have learned how to coax people. Well, my sister will definitely design a beautiful one for you."

"Good day, thank you sister!" Shuan Shuan said joyfully. The two sisters looked around the melon field for a while, discussed some small planting issues, and then went to the tree house by the lotus pond to pick up a few children. Back to the courtyard for lunch.

As a result, before entering, I saw a few children with bad faces, Dayu and Tao'er were holding their mouths, and Xing'er had tears rolling in her eye sockets. When she saw her mother coming, the children all ran over, Xing'er flung herself into the arms of Jin's mother, holding her neck without saying a word, tears fell into Muai's collar, and Cheng'er and Simba also rushed over like small cannonballs.He hugged his mother's arm and didn't speak. It looked like that, if he hadn't been warned last time, the man would bleed but not cry.I'm afraid I will cry again.

Mu Ai touched the tops of their heads one by one distressedly, thinking that bugs entered the tree house or it was rained, and said comfortingly, "What's the matter, if you have any grievances, tell mom whether the tree house was rained, it doesn't matter, A few days in the sun will be fine."

The younger ones still didn't speak, but now Mu Aike was in a hurry, and looked up at Dayu and Tao'er. Dayu glanced at Shuan Shuan in embarrassment, and then stepped forward and said, "Mom, the tree house for younger brothers and sisters They were all... destroyed, and some small toys were lost. My brother said that the uncle next door came to take them away, and I was stopping them from looking for them..."

Mu Ai frowned, and stretched her head to look at the two tree houses. Sure enough, half of the carpet on the floor inside Simba and Cheng'er hung down, and the window screen was torn.In Xing'er's cabin, the flower balls were thrown under the tree, the curtains and tables were scattered, it was a bit messy.

However, the tiger next door has indeed been educated by Wang Shusheng's ruler recently, and she has managed a lot of rules. Of course, she can't go to the West Courtyard due to etiquette. of.

Today, the tree house of several children was destroyed. If there is no real evidence to say that it was done by others, it is a bit unreasonable, and there is an old lady there.Besides, in the eyes of their adults, this matter is just a child's play, and it is not a big deal.Even if it is determined that Hu Zi did it, it is just a few words, and it is all right not to mess around in the future.Maybe the old lady is still paranoid, and she doesn't want to see Huzi too much, which makes her face embarrassing.

Unfortunately, for children, this means that their own territory is invaded by foreign enemies, which is quite serious.Especially the youngest daughter, the beautifully decorated tree house was torn into a mess, how sad I was, laying in her arms, sobbing, crying so hard that she felt sour in her heart.
