Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 521 Solicitation
At this time, Dayu came in from the valley on horseback, jumped off the horse, threw the reins to Fengshou who was coming up, and said with a smile, "Mom, the second prince has arrived and was taken to the government office by the officials in the city. He wants a baby." I came back with a letter saying that I would stay at our house tonight, and brother Tao also went to discuss matters with me."

"Okay, I just invite him to drink Laba porridge tomorrow. Xiao An, remember to tidy up the guest room." Mu Ai put away the book in her hand and responded with a smile.

After dinner, the family gathered around the porch to eat fruit. Mu Ai picked more than [-] melons and five large watermelons from the space. A mahogany square table was placed in the yard. Cut the watermelon into big pieces, green and red with black spots, just looking at it makes me feel festive. All the guards are holding the watermelon, squatting or sitting and eating it.

Xiaoan's maidservants like to eat melons, each took one, and sat by the wooden fence with their legs in the air, dangling and talking about needlework and other things, Mu Ai peeled the melon skin and removed the seeds, and handed it to Shuan Shuan Eat, now that she has a big belly, she doesn't like to move around anymore, she lays on the bed and does needlework, Mu Ai is very worried that she will have difficulty giving birth, seeing that she likes to eat cantaloupe, a good idea flashes into her mind, So while cutting the cantaloupe into small pieces and feeding it to Haizi, he asked casually, "Shuan Shuan, after you came to Bailu City with the child's father, did you grow cantaloupe again?"

Shuan Shuan's face darkened, he was silent for a moment, and sighed, "That man is very noble. I mentioned it twice but was stopped by him. I can't argue with what it means to be honest and self-confident. He also had the dowry money from his sister in his hand, so he didn't insist."

Sure enough, as she guessed, Mu Ai's eyes flashed a flash of understanding, and she smiled, "I remember when you were planting melons at home, you were so eager to stay in the field every day, but careful care also pays off. , Those batches of melons were sold to Huadu, and even the king and queen mother praised them repeatedly."

Shuan Shuan's complexion improved, and there was a smile in his eyes, "It's not because my sister taught me how to plant. I'm still at the bottom of the box."

Haizi has a small stomach, but half a melon is enough to fill him up. He lay on his back on the carpet, babbling loudly, having fun with himself. Simba hurriedly patted his stomach, causing him to stretch out his fat little feet to protest. The two brothers quarreled together.

Mu Ai laughed and said, "Hai Zi seems to like this muskmelon very much, but I don't have many in stock here. Our backyard is empty, why don't I let someone reclaim it tomorrow, and you can instruct the maids to plant muskmelon. When it’s cooked, you can save it for Haizi to eat, and you can also send it to a shop to sell, if the girl in your stomach is really a girl, you can save the money to buy her a dowry, what do you think?”

Shuan Shuan's eyes lit up, since she divorced, she often thought in the dead of night, even though her sister loves her, even if she doesn't take a penny, her sister will definitely keep her well-fed for the rest of her life, but she still has Haizi, who is about to be born She wants to think about their children in the future.

It's not that she doesn't believe in her sister, or how good Dayu and others will be to her when she grows up, it's just that after Wei Xiucai's incident, she has become stronger, and she wants to rely on her own efforts to support a stable home for her two children.

She is familiar with the work of growing melons, and it pays a lot of money. It is indeed the best way to make money at present.

She nodded quickly, "Sister, that's a great idea. I'm worried about having nothing to do all day long. However, sister, if you need people, you still have to do it like you are at home. I have to pay for it."

"Okay, you can give it if you want, just to let a few girls earn some pocket money." Half an mu of melon can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, and the wages are only a few tens of taels, so Muai doesn't stop me, Let Shuan Shuantu feel at ease.

Xiaoan and the others knew that Madam Shuan was looking for something to do, so they came up to them and said with a smile, "Our Madam Zhengchou gave me a little money, so we will grow melons together in the future, and we will get more money when the time comes." A red envelope, a small fortune."

"These girls, they all rebelled as soon as they talked about earning pocket money, but they want to make more money so that they can add some dowry when they get married?" Mu Ai pretended to be angry, and teased a few maids, making them all red Blushing her face, she stomped her feet coquettishly and said, "Madam, you will bully us."

The sun had completely set on the mountain, and the night was splashed on the ground like thick ink. Red lanterns were hung up early under the eaves of the corridor, reflecting on the bodies and faces of the people, shrouded in shame, and the evening wind blew away the heat and hustle and bustle of the day, bringing The moist breath of the sea felt extremely refreshing in the chest cavity.

When they were full, they pestered Cui Meng and others to teach them some martial arts. Dayu and the others also joined together, and a group of militant men formed a circle, making enthusiastic laughter or applauding from time to time. , with the night wind spreading far away.

Tao'er and the second prince rode into the valley, and happened to see such a happy scene, the second prince couldn't help but sighed, and said with a smile, "Sometimes I really envy my fifth brother, every day must be very happy."

Tao'er jumped off the horse, stretched out her hand to grab the reins of the second prince, and said with a smile, "If your highness is like this every day, you may be thinking that no one will take care of your majesty. This time, my aunt is going to live here to wait for my little aunt to give birth. How many months, Your Highness should stay for a few more days."

"Really, then I'm lucky, I must ask my aunt to cook more delicious dishes for me." The second prince jumped off the horse, smiled and walked towards Simba who was trotting to meet him. The two brothers hugged each other, and the second prince clapped Patting Simba on the shoulder, "Fifth brother, your head is quite long, probably taller than fourth brother."

Simba smiled and asked, "Grandma Huang, Emperor Father, and the third and fourth brothers, how are they all?"

"It's all good, I just keep talking about you. Your fourth brother wants me to send you a message. Don't forget about him if there is something fun and delicious."

The two brothers chatted and laughed, Dayu, Cheng'er, and Xing'er also greeted them, and after a brief exchange of greetings, they arrived in front of Mu Ai and Ouyang. The second prince bowed and saluted, saying, "Aunt, uncle, nephew is here again .”

Mu Aixu gave him a hand, pulled him to sit down, and said with a smile, "Are you tired from the rush all the way, you should stay at home and rest for the past two days."

"My little nephew is greedy, anxious to eat the good food made by my aunt, hurried and slow, and finally caught up with eating Laba porridge with my aunt." The second prince didn't have the slightest airs, just as respectful as a nephew of an ordinary family talking to an elder, even More three-point intimacy.

Xiao An, Kong Xi and the others had seen it before in Banyue Mountain, so they didn't think it was too strange.However, Shuan Shuan and Qiao Yun Qiaoyue were a little apprehensive. This is the prince, and maybe he will be His Majesty the Lord in the future. Ordinary people are not lucky enough to see each other in their lifetime, and they are talking and laughing in front of them at this moment. He hesitated whether to step forward and kowtow.

Shuan Shuan looked at his sister, but didn't intend to ask her to stand up to salute, so he just sat quietly and listened to everyone talking.

Xiao An brought a basin and a wet towel to wait for the second prince to wash his hands and wipe his face, then went to the corner of the courtyard to splash water, Qiao Yue followed her and asked in a trembling voice, "Miss Xiao An, do we want to kneel down and salute His Royal Highness?" ah?"

Xiao An was funny, and reached out her hand to tap her forehead, "You girl is timid, speaking of it, the second young master of our family is also a prince, Mrs. Madam and Miss, who has no title? Didn't you see that His Royal Highness didn't even bring an escort? When we arrive at our house, he is Madam's nephew, if you kowtow and salute in fear, the Second Highness will still feel uncomfortable living there."

Qiaoyue turned around and saw the prince under the eaves, eating the melon while chatting and laughing with his wife and young masters, she faintly understood.

Everyone gossiped for half an hour, Haizi had already fallen asleep in Xinger's arms, Mu Ai waved everyone to rest, when the second prince heard that he wanted to stay in the guest room, he laughed and said that he would have a night talk with Tao'er and Dayu, and Mu Ai also Without stopping, they took the water bed and put it in Dayu's room. Xiao An and the others spread brocade quilts and soft pillows, which became the second prince's temporary bed.

Dayu wanted to exchange with him, but he felt that the water bed was novel, so he refused anyway. The three of them took turns taking a bath and lay down separately.

The topic gradually began to talk about the riots caused by the Japanese in the city. Tao'er recounted the situation that day in detail, but Dayu just listened and didn't interrupt. The second prince looked in his direction, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Thanks to Brother Yu's quick response that day, he moved the rescuers, otherwise the entire Bailu City would have been ransacked by the Japanese."

"Your Highness praised you. I was also impatient that day. Now that I think about it, I still feel reckless. If it weren't for the coincidence that the Japanese people really have different intentions, I am afraid that the people in the city who are about to be provoked will have a false alarm. Moreover, it was Cheng'er who went to the navy to move troops that day. And Simba, Brother Tao was with me when we went to the government office and the city gates, without them, this matter would not have been possible." Dayu refused to take credit, and pushed Tao'er and Cheng'er out.

The second prince smiled faintly, "I'm here this time to expand the navy and build warships. Everything is chaotic. Every time I think about this journey, I feel a lot of clues and a headache."

Dayu heard the solicitation in his words, and his heart shivered slightly, remembering what his mother had told him, he smiled and said, "Those who are capable will do more, His Majesty trusts His Majesty. When it comes to shipbuilding, Brother Tao and I In the shipyard I found a few days ago, there are a few old craftsmen with excellent craftsmanship. The big ship we ordered will be launched tomorrow. Your Highness can board the ship together. Please take a look. I will hand over the newly opened shop and workshop to you. If you give me the job, you can go to sea with your mother, and my brothers and sisters have been looking forward to it for a long time."

The second prince looked at the moonlight outside the window with his arm resting on his pillow, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but after thinking about it, although my aunt did not show her support in a clear way, the Wei Mansion and Xiao Mansion belonged to her side. Last time Rongcheng disaster relief, I helped him Having won a virtuous name, this time it was the fifth brother's family letter, which helped him get the opportunity to intervene in military power.For him, these are enough to give him the upper hand in the battle. If he is greedy again, it will not be beautiful.

Thinking of this, he laughed again, half joking and half complaining, "It's really fun for you to play around with my aunt, but I have to tell my aunt that you can't take Brother Wei Xian with you, and don't leave me a helper That's all, I can't break my left and right arms again."

Dayu also smiled and said, "Of course it's good, it's a rare opportunity to leave him and go out to play alone."
