There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 172 Farming the Field

He was lamenting that the air in Beijing at this time is so good, and the people are very simple. In later generations, there will probably be sandstorms at this time, right?

Wu Youwei doesn't care, it doesn't mean that others don't care, such as Xiao Xiao, he doesn't understand, what is the master looking at in such a bare scene?

Everyone is tidying up the fields. Because of the presence of cattle, it is quite easy, and it saves a lot of effort than before.

Xiao Xiao thought that it was almost noon, and since February [-]nd, her family has changed to three meals a day.

What is he thinking about for lunch?

Is it a single roll with egg sauce and scallions?Or eat rice?Hearing from the housekeeper, it seemed that there was someone grabbing mutton to eat at noon... Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar figure floated in front of him, and Xiao Xiao immediately widened his eyes!

He is much more familiar with Wu Ying than Wu Youwei, you know?

Back then when he entered the Wu Mansion, the first beating was given to him by the young master, because he passed by some flowers and disturbed his viewing of them.

In fact, Xiaoxiao was going to beg him at that time, the little master was seriously ill, and no one took care of him, but before Xiaoxiao could speak, he was gagged, dragged down and beaten ten times.

The beating was not heavy, but the little way to ask for help was interrupted under those ten boards.

Seeing the enemy, Xiao Xiao was extremely jealous, grabbed Wu Youwei's arm, pointed at the group of people and said, "Master, I seem to have seen...Wu Ying!"

Wu Youwei has been unable to remember the people and things in the Wu Mansion recently.

Because even Wang Qianqian avoided him and lived in the villa every day like an invisible person. If it wasn't for Xu Niang's reminders from time to time, she would make new clothes for this pregnant woman, otherwise she would be strangled in her stomach As for the child, Wu Youwei couldn't even think of a pregnant woman at home!

And because I have been very busy recently, busy writing imperial examination materials, dealing with the eunuch next door, and watching the spring plowing and resumption of work in my village.

I had almost no free time to think about it, but I met an acquaintance!

Wu Youwei was taken aback by the small words: "Who are you talking about?"

"Wu Ying!" Xiaoxiao originally wanted to call him "Elder Prince", but the moment he said it, he realized that the other party was already a commoner. He was not born, but was demoted. This makes him feel a little lower than ordinary commoners. .

It's just that they are still "people", not of humble origin, but it is impossible to take the imperial examination within at least three generations.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to accept the title of "Elder Prince". Of course, he can't call it out, but it is undeniable that seeing Wu Ying's unlucky appearance, Xiao Xiao really let out a sigh of relief. !

"Wu Ying?" Wu Youwei looked at the team of migrant workers who had already passed by him: "Where is he...?"

"In the front, the one wearing a short brown dress that is not old!" Xiao Xiao pointed at the man in front and said, "He has the best clothes here!"

Because other people have patches on their bodies to some extent. When they are working, they are not going on a blind date, and they are reluctant to wear good clothes. Basically, they wear old clothes when they go to work in the fields. There are no old clothes without patches. three years old

It took another three years to sew and mend." This is a true portrayal of the thriftiness of the ancients.

Only Wu Ying's clothes, even though they are half new and not old, are not patched at all!

Not only did it not mend, but it was also washed very clean. Of course, this cleanliness is compared with these people. Wu Ying has worked in the migrant labor team for several days. Even if it snows this season, the soil in the field Once the trash is smashed, it will still raise dust, even if it is clean, it is not clean.

"Master Wu." Behind this group of migrant workers were four tenants from Huangzhuang, followed by a young eunuch under Shang Ming.

Seeing Wu Youwei was very polite, this little eunuch is as big as Xiao Xiao, maybe that part was cut off, so he can't grow taller?It looks even smaller, Wu Youwei feels a throbbing pain in his heart every time he sees it, these are the flowers of the motherland, they were just killed like this!

"Is it Xiao Zhuzi? What is this?" This little eunuch is called Xiao Zhuzi. He is as thin as a bamboo pole, and someone else's belt can wrap around his waist twice.

"Let these people loosen the soil, and the fertilizer will be delivered in two days." Xiao Zhuzi smiled shyly.

Wu Youwei nodded, and said kindly: "That's good, come and sit down next time, drink some tea and have some snacks, your little brother has mentioned you several times."

Probably because there is no concept of "eunuch", Wu Youwei treats all these eunuchs equally, and Xiao Xiao, as his school boy, is even more so, there is no barrier at all.

So the little eunuchs under Shang Ming like to deal with Xiaoxiao, calling him brother, this brother is not a name among eunuchs, but sincerely regards him as "brother".

Xiao Xiao is also unambiguous, every time these little eunuchs come with Shang Ming, he will give them something, such as small snacks, small candies, and even expensive snacks like beef jerky.

Wu Youwei occasionally stays with Shang Ming for dinner, and then communicates at the dinner table. He has written the secret of planting garlic yellow and given it to Shang Ming. In the future, everyone will develop together and make a fortune together.

He grows so much garlic, he won't be able to eat that much in winter, so he can sell it to Shang Ming as seeds.

"Okay!" Xiaozhuzi bared his teeth in a smile.

Wu Youwei turned around and walked back. He really wanted to take a look at Wu Ying's house, but thought that killing people would be nothing but nodding, so forget it. The current Wu family can no longer attract |his interest.

But Xiao Xiao, his narrow-mindedness exploded, thinking that he and the master almost died in the small yard back then, and no one paid him any attention. He went to ask the elder, but no one informed him. There was a beating.He hasn't avenged this revenge yet!

"Master, I'm going to deliver something to Xiao Zhuzi, I forgot just now!" After walking a few steps, Xiao Xiao was about to turn back.

OK, let's go. "For the friendship between them, Wu Youwei is happy to see it succeed, who can't have a few friends?

Seeing that Wu Youwei had gone far away, Xiao Xiao caught up with Xiao Zhuzi, gave him a pack of beef jerky, and muttered for a while, Xiao Zhuzi smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, this matter is on Xiao Zhuzi's hands." !"

"That's fine, I'll leave it to my brother!" Xiao Xiao said happily, "But people can't be killed, you know?"

He doesn't have the guts to kill him or something, as long as he has a bad life.

"Don't worry, we all have a measure for this kind of thing." Xiao Zhuzi said: "I'll go back first."

"Uh-huh!"

After Xiaoxiao and Xiaozhuzi separated, they returned to Wu Youwei, who was checking the construction site and the food in the village.

Because it is convenient to start a fire together, and in order not to let the women go back to cook their own meals after making meals for the construction site, let's just eat together.

Keep two dishes and one soup every day, and the staple food is steamed buns with two noodles, flower rolls or two rice.

Today's dishes are stewed tofu with potherb mustard, braised pork, an egg soup, and big steamed buns with noodles.

Wu Youwei didn't want to go back, so he stayed here and had a big pot meal with them. There were so many people, it was lively.

There are a lot of eggs in the egg soup, and the egg flowers are scattered everywhere. It can be seen that it is made with great care and no skimping.

The head of Wu Er's family cooked the meal, Wu Er deliberately went to Wu Youwei and said, "Master, is it okay?

"It's great. It's great that the big pot of rice can be made like this." It's similar to the cafeteria in the past, not to mention delicious, but there must be enough oil and water. He is afraid that if the food is not good, people will feel that he has been treated harshly.

"These eggs are picked out by the women, and the good ones are kept for hatching." Wu Er smiled and said, "Are there still so many chicks this year?"

"Yes!" Wu Youwei said: "The scope can be expanded, as long as the ventilation is good and the poultry is cleaned, it is actually not easy for poultry to get sick."

They mainly eat poultry and eggs, and usually save some eggs to sell. The rich and noble people in Beijing have no shortage of eggs to eat all year round.

Xiao Xiao came back and ate at the same table with Wu Youwei. After eating, Wu Youwei passed the inspection and went back to Mo Ling Villa.

He is fine, Wu Ying is in trouble.

For a few days, all kinds of troubles made him more irritable.

How can he do farm work!

But there is no way, this kind of thing is a franchise of the imperial power, and the Bai family doesn't have the time to take care of him, and it can't be avoided with money, and the family doesn't have that much money.

And the people who went there were also surprised. When they needed manpower, they checked the information, and the servants didn't want it. How could a lowly person cultivate the emperor's field?

So Wu Ying, the only male in the family, was brought here.

I've been exhausted for the past two days, and I don't have a good rest every day. I'm squeezed into a bunk with a group of old men, all kinds of sweaty smells, smelly feet, and snoring sounds, ouch. , Grinding teeth, farting, Wu Youwei was so sullen every day, he didn't know how he got here!

Today, the little eunuch in charge took a long time to repair him, saying that he was not good at work, and he picked out a lot of mistakes, and asked them to return to work. The soup was still warm.

Although it is Huangzhuang, the food is not good. The food is stewed cabbage with fatty meat, the soup is tofu soup, and the rice is brown rice. The only good thing is that it is served with a bucket of radish sticks and pickles.

Stewed cabbage with fatty meat has less fat and more cabbage, and the greasy lard has turned white. Wu Ying feels disgusted when she looks at it. What is this?

How can I enter?

But he couldn't grab such a dish, because today everyone thought he was the one who got everyone in trouble and didn't give him any face, so they all rushed forward and divided the dishes!

I left rice and soup for him, which is quite a portion.

The rice was cold, so he had to soak it in tofu soup. He ate three big bowls with radish sticks and pickles.

He shed tears while eating, even in prison, he didn't cry, he couldn't cry at that time, but now he is crying, because he still remembers that he saw Wu Youwei, still so gentle.

And what about yourself?

There were a few cuts on the rough hands, and blood blisters appeared on the palms...

Bai Zhen's words resounded in his heart again, Wu Ying gritted his teeth one by one, already at this point, he still has no hesitation...

Time flies, the weather is getting warmer, rivers and rivers are open, and the Moling Lake under Moling Mountain is also thawed. Wu Youwei asked the housekeeper to find someone to fish out a lot of Kaijiang fish, and sent several carts out from door to door.

However, Housekeeper Lin Su still kept a lot of species of fish, and after they naturally shed their seeds, the fish in Moring Lake would not be overfished.

Wu Youwei also gave his neighbor a large grass carp that was nearly one meter long. Shang Ming might be busy, so he asked Xiao Zhuzi to send him a lot of pine nuts.

Pine nuts are so good, Wu Youwei immediately thought of this dish of pine nuts and corn.

It's a pity that there is no corn now, but Chef Fang happily made pine nut shrimp for Wu Youwei. The shrimp used were lake shrimp caught in Moling Lake.

Moreover, Cui Niang in the kitchen also made pine nut candy for Wu Youwei, which Wu Youwei liked very much. The candy now is not so sweet, and it is just right to eat.

In the third month of Gengxu, there was chaos in Shandu, Sichuan.

Wu Youwei is still in Zhangluo Qingming, worshiping ancestors, which is a big event in a year, and the place for his ancestral hall has been painted, and it is waiting to start construction in April.

People from the first room also came, and Zhang Sheng specially gave Xiao Wu Qiong a five-day leave to come back to worship.

In the simple temporary ancestral hall, the population is sparse, there are only a few, Wu Youwei and Xiao Wu Qiong take the lead in offering sacrifices, the excitement is not lively, but rather deserted.

On that day, it also fell the first spring rain since the beginning of spring.

Amidst the loud spring thunder, the spring rain splashed between the heaven and the earth like a splash.

Not only Moring Mountain Villa worships ancestors, the emperor is in Dingsi, and the ancestor Confucius is in the Confucius Temple in Beijing.
