Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 268 To Understand Xu Xiaomi
Wu Yang heard from Qiu Yongzheng that Xu Xiaomi made something for people to play with when they are bored.So, he wanted to try it too.

"Fourth brother! Then can you play?"

"Yes! Of course!"

"Then, fourth brother, teach me! I want to play too!"

Looking at Wu Yang's innocent smile that day, Qiu Yongzheng thought to himself: If I hadn't offended Mi Mei right away, maybe I could let Mi Mei teach you right now!
well!The uncle didn't know why, so he got into a fight with his nephew and daughter-in-law as soon as he came.From now on, Mi Mei becomes the queen, how will you live your life?

However, he didn't say it.He just smiled and said to Wu Yang: "That's good! It's just that there's not enough room for a table now! You just saw uncle's attitude towards your sister-in-law. Now your sister-in-law doesn't dare to see your father at all!"

Hearing what Qiu Yongzheng said, Wu Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yeah! I don't know why dad suddenly became like that?"

Qiu Yongzheng thought about it, no matter what, they came here because of themselves, and they had to feel at home.

So, he said to Wu Yang: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, you bring the uncle here, and I will find another person, and I will learn that stuff soon."

Qiu Yongzheng went to find his third uncle Zhou Jingyu who was helping, Wu Yang came to Wu Qian and said he wanted Wanna mahjong, but Wu Qian said he didn't want to play, so Qiu Yongzheng had to ask his third uncle to take Wu Qian around.

He found Xu Xiaomi and Xu Hao by himself, and several young people played mahjong.

Zhou Jingyu led Wu Qian around the house.Except for Xu Xiaomi's wine shop and wine cellar, Zhou Jingyu didn't take him everywhere.

Wu Qian felt that although this house was not as big as his own Shangshu's mansion.However, its architectural style is unique.

Four large courtyards enclose eight small courtyards, all of which are courtyards within courtyards.There are many flowers and plants planted in each yard.

Those who live in it will not feel bored at all.

He liked this kind of yard very much, so he asked casually: "Brother Zhou, are there such yards in every household here?"

Zhou Jingyu looked at him honestly and smiled and said: "No! This! It was designed by my niece. I guess this is the only one in Dazhou, right?

In the past, two such houses were built, but they were burned down.It's just that the sum of those two is only as big as this one. "

When Wu Qian heard that these two houses were burned down, she felt it was a pity.

They came outside the house again, and they saw that in the rice field in front of the door, there were huge clusters of yellow rice ears, which seemed to be about to break the rice stalks.

Wu Qian squatted down and looked at it in surprise, and said, "Whose rice is this? It's so well planted, how can the ears of rice grow so big?"

Looking at his appearance, Zhou Jingyu said proudly: "All these fertile fields belong to my niece's family, and she taught the slaves to plant them."

Wu Qian heard this, and thought to herself: I can't tell, that girl looks like a flower and jade, and she can actually farm.

They turned to the Daqing River again, and saw thick smoke rising from the tall chimneys of the lime kilns by the river.

Wu Qian looked at it and said: "What is that? Is it cooking? Is this family burning all wet firewood? There is such a black smoke from the chimney, it is another poor family."

Wu Qian looked at the thick smoke coming out of the big chimney, and felt sentimental.

Zhou Jingyu heard this, and said with a smile, "No! That's my niece's lime kiln, where lime or red bricks are being fired!"

Wu Qian heard that these are Xu Xiaomi's properties, and at this moment her eyes widened and she asked, "They all belong to your niece? Does she have so many properties?"

Zhou Jingyu smiled and said proudly: "That's not counting! Wulipo, about ten miles away from here, and her vegetable base, about twenty miles away, and her farm. They are all very large-scale. big."

After Wu Qian heard this, she was surprised to realize that it was really not easy for a peasant girl to have so much.

Now, he felt that he seemed to have underestimated that girl who was only 17 years old.

Xu Xiaomi's family, he said a few days ago that he heard from Qiu Qiming.For a poor and white family.

It is extremely difficult for an adult to own so many properties in less than ten years.Let alone a ten-year-old child.

In the land of Dazhou, many adults work every year, but they may not be able to feed the whole family.Don't even think about having extra money.

Has she dug up some treasure?How can you be so rich?

Wu Qian was puzzled, and now he admired Xu Xiaomi from the bottom of his heart.

I thought: No wonder Yueer is so stubborn, such a strange woman is really hard to meet.

And that kid Qiu Yongzheng, he didn't even want to be an emperor, and was willing to come here to marry this village girl.

Could it be that in his eyes, being an emperor is not as good as being a farmer?

Wu Qian never believed that Qiu Yongzheng gave up the throne of the emperor and came to marry a village girl named Xu Xiaomi just out of pure love.

But for what purpose?He has no evidence now, and he dare not jump to conclusions.

Wu Qian didn't want to think about things that he couldn't figure out, he just wanted to know more about Xu Xiaomi.

So, he asked Zhou Jingyu again: "Then what else is she doing here in Xujia Village? I saw that those waterwheels are quite tall."

Zhou Jingyu is a farmer without scheming, and Wu Qian is a high official in his eyes.

Therefore, Wu Qian will answer every question he asks.

He heard Wu Qian ask again if Xu Xiaomi had anything else here.

He smiled and said to Wu Qian: "Hey! The mill above is also hers. This mill was designed by her. It can squeeze oil, mill rice, and flour in it. Moreover, these are all made of water. the power of."

Wu Qian saw that that tall building was just a mill?Is that too exaggerated?
But when he told Zhou Jingyu that it could be used for rice milling, flour grinding, and oil extraction, he wanted to find out.

So, he said to Zhou Jingyu, "Let's go! Let's go and have a look together!"

Zhou Jingyu heard that the Lord Shangshu was going to visit his own mill, so of course he happily led him to the gate of the mill.

At this time, Qingfeng and another domestic slave were grinding flour for a farmer in a neighboring village.Seeing Zhou Jingyu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Hello, third uncle!"

"Hello, third uncle!"

"Hello, third uncle!"

The house slave and the noodle-milling villager heard Qingfeng call Zhou Jingyu, and they also shouted.

Zhou Jingyu said with a smile: "Ah! Hello! This is Master Wu Qianwu, Uncle Qiu's uncle. He came to see the mill. Do your work!"

Qingfeng heard that Wu Qian was Qiu Yongzheng's uncle, so he hurriedly bowed his forehead and shouted, "Hi, sir!"

The slave and the villagers also imitated Qing Feng's example, saluted Wu Qian's forehead and shouted: "Hello, my lord!"

"Hi, my lord!"

Wu Qian looked at them and nodded with a smile, walked in and looked up, ho!Damn, no wonder Xu Xiaomi made the mill so high.It turns out that the installation of these levers, chains, and gears must be of high height.

"Hey! There are enough people in this mill! It looks very complicated."

Wu Qian asked.

"This one? If my niece does it, one person is enough, and if others do it, three people are needed!"

Zhou Jingyu replied.

"What... what? Is she so powerful?"

Wu Qian heard that Xu Xiaomi can do what three others can do by himself. He couldn't believe his ears, and asked with wide-eyed surprise.

Only today did he know what kind of charm this village girl had, which was able to fascinate his son in the first place.

And he didn't dare to say it, because he knew that Qiu Yongzheng liked that girl, and he was afraid that speaking out would hurt the feelings between the brothers.

Until the end of her life, she never told Xu Xiaomi, a village girl, what was on her mind.

As for himself and his wife, he didn't like any of the daughters of the capital officials who were actively looking for him in the capital.Sometimes when he was in a hurry, he simply wouldn't go back.

well!If I hadn't been so stubborn at the time and had relied on Yue'er to propose marriage to him, Yue'er might not have just disappeared like that!well!Blame myself for being too superficial!

At that time, he always felt that he was the adopted son of the general, and the official worshiped the third-rank servant, and the eldest son's wife should find a well-matched wife. He seems to regret it now.

But, is there any point in regretting it now?His son is gone.Moreover, the girl of the family has already become famous.The one who married was the son of his adopted brother, his nephew.

well!forget it!Go back and see what new thing they played.Looking at it again, my intestines are going to regret it.

So, Zhou Jingyu took Wu Qian from the front of the house to the Daqing River, and then walked back.

As soon as he returned to Xu's house, Zhou Jingyu came directly to Qiu Yongzheng and said, "Your uncle said that he also wants to learn about mahjong now."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi stood up and said, "Then, third uncle, let's take him! I'll let you fight, you can fight anyway."

Wu Qian saw Xu Xiaomi and left as soon as she heard that she also wanted to play mahjong.I thought to myself: Is it too much for me to treat a girl like that when I came here today?
At this time, Xu Xiaomi had just taken two steps away from the table, and could hear what was in his heart clearly.However, she didn't want to talk too much with a bureaucratic person like Wu Qian, so she turned around and left.

Qiu Yongzheng looked at his lover's back and thought: Wu Qian's feud with Mi Mei might really be forged this time.

He was so engrossed in thinking that Wu Yang didn't even notice the cards on the table.

I only heard Wu Yang say: "Ah! Ha! Santong! Hula! Haha..."

Xu Xiaomi left the mahjong table in the hall and went to the kitchen. There were five tables at home for lunch today.She has to go and see if she needs to dispatch someone.

However, as soon as she walked to the door of the kitchen, she was stopped by her grandmother: "Hey! You child, how many times have I told you not to enter the kitchen recently, why can't you listen?"

"Hehe...Grandma, I'm just here to see if I need to send someone over to help, I'll leave after I see!"

Grandma Huang stood at the door and said: "Send people, your mother and I can do it too, you go back to the room and stay for a while, and send someone to invite you when the meal is finished."
