"It's more than dare to think? People also said that if she becomes a concubine, the prince will never be allowed to take concubines, and she will only be allowed to marry her in this life, tsk tsk..."
The long-faced old woman smiled strangely, as if mocking the little business girl's actions.
The round-faced woman looked gossiping, and said, "What about the prince? What did the prince say?"
The long-faced woman said: "Of course the lord did not agree. Not to mention our lord, even the children of ordinary people would not agree to such a request. I really don't know what she thinks. A lowly little business girl can Putting forward such a heaven-defying request is simply outrageous!"
"Then... didn't the prince blame her? She made such an unreasonable request, and the prince didn't mean to punish her at all?"
"No, not at all, not to mention punishment, even Steward Zheng's house is still called their family to live in, it's really weird!"
"Oh, according to what you said, maybe our lord really has his heart for that little business girl, otherwise, with our lord's temperament, it would be strange if any woman dared to make such a request, and the lord could keep her alive."
"Impossible? What kind of character is our prince? How can we be fooled by such a little bastard?"
"Then tell me, after she said such outrageous things, the prince still told her to live and live in Butler An's house, what's the matter?"
"I'm really not sure about this."
After being quiet for a while, the face-faced woman said again: "Old sister, I am telling you these things today, you must not tell others, if you do, I will die!"
The round-faced woman smiled and said: "Of course, if this is the case, we old sisters will talk about it behind people's backs. If it is in front of outsiders, I will not dare to say it if I am killed."
The two women muttered and talked for a while, and after a while, the soup was ready, and the round-faced woman made soup, carried it in a food box, and went out with the long-faced woman.
In the kitchen next door, a dull-looking woman was sitting there. When she heard that there was no movement outside, she stood up, quietly looked outside, and found that there was no one outside, so she hurried out.
Second Gate of the Palace
Chunyuxuan took Luo Chengluo and the like, and walked in from the outside. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw that Qinglian was already waiting there.
Seeing him, Qinglian greeted him with a smile.
"My lord is back. Today, the queen mother rewarded a batch of clothes and satin worn by Kai Chuner. The emperor also rewarded some literature and ancient books. The slaves and maidservants are all in your study. The lord should go and have a look..."
Chun Yuxuan said as he walked, "No need, you can arrange it."
Qinglian twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "The servant girl will put those things into the warehouse first."
Seeing him go to Ting Yuxuan's direction again, Qinglian hurriedly said, "By the way, this servant made a bowl of maple dew tea in the morning. It was made with the snow water harvested from this year's plum blossoms. It has been three or four times. , excellent, would you like to try it, my lord?"
"No need, I'll reward you with a drink!"
Chunyu Yu still had that cold, hurried look.
Seeing that he had raised his foot and was about to step into the threshold of Ting Yuxuan, Qinglian said again without thinking: "In the morning, there was a girl named Shen who asked to see the prince!"
speak out
The foot wearing the black dark gold brocade palace boot suddenly stopped, and then retracted it again. He turned around, his eyes were dim, and his tone could not detect any emotion, "What did she say?"
Seeing that he was so easily emotionally involved by that woman, Qinglian's heart ached. She just wanted to try it out and see how much influence she had on him. Now it seems that she already knew the answer!
Qinglian lowered her eyes and said: "Miss Shen asked to see the prince, and wanted to ask the prince to help save some women who were abused by the family. She even made some snacks for the prince, which were put in the study by the slaves..."
Although jealous, she still reported the truth and did not dare to hide anything. She has been with the prince for many years, and she knows the prince's temper well. The prince has never been good-tempered. You will lose his trust!
After hearing this, Chun Yuxuan paused for a second at the door of Ting Yuxuan, then turned around and walked towards the study.
Qinglian looked at his tall and straight back, and smiled wryly in her heart, she just said that he didn't even bother to take a look at the rewards from the queen mother and the emperor, but the little merchant girl hooked him over with a little snack.
He really cares about her! **
That night, Shen Fucun led a group of younger brothers and sisters, and went shopping until almost all the shops on the street were closed before returning.
Shen Fucun bought a lot of things for taking home tomorrow, including snacks, clothes and wine for his parents, silk flowers and cloth for his daughter-in-law, and he bought a lot of odds and ends.
The Zhaodi sisters each bought a handkerchief, a purse and some silk threads, and they only spent a few tens of cash in total. The rest of the money had to be returned to Shen Ruolan, but Shen Ruolan pushed it back.
Zhu'er bought a flute and a set of music scores, and said he wanted to learn how to play the flute; Ju'er bought a pot of pink rose flowers and a rose-pink sweat towel; With a bamboo cage.
Everyone has gained something, and everyone is happy. Moreover, it is said that when they went out at night, they ate a lot of Jizhou's famous snacks. This night, the children had a great time playing.
Seeing that they were so happy, Shen Ruolan was also happy when they came back chatting about the interesting things that happened on the street just now.
It is said that it is better to be alone than to be happy together. Seeing the person I care about live happily under my protection is much happier than letting her enjoy life alone...
The next day, Shen Ruolan and Shen Fucun hired a car from the garage, took their shopping and went back to Kaoshantun.
It was already mid-April at this time, and the spring was bright and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. It was the most beautiful time of the year in the north.
In the mountains, all kinds of wild flowers are blooming, colorful, and the leaves are green and lush. The swallows also fly back from the south, chirping in front of the mountain and behind the houses, and the wild vegetables in the mountains are coming out. The tender, green ones are all over the mountains and plains. After picking a batch, another batch will be sent out every few days. It is simply inexhaustible to pick and dig.
There are women and children digging wild vegetables everywhere in the mountains. Everyone has been hungry for a whole spring, and they are finally looking forward to the season when the wild vegetables will come out. They are all happily busy on the mountain. I also feel very strong.
Shen Ruolan raised the curtain of the car, looked at the lively and lively scene outside, and suddenly became interested in digging wild vegetables.
Every spring at this time when she was a child, every night when she came back from school, her mother would ask her to go out and dig a basket of wild vegetables to feed the geese and ducks at home. She didn’t feel that digging wild vegetables was hard work at all. There is no substitute for happiness. Especially seeing the geese and ducks at home eat the wild vegetables she dug back and grow up day by day, the sense of accomplishment is also very gratifying.
"Brother Fu Cun, when I go back, I will go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables." Shen Ruolan said.
Shen Fucun chuckled and said: "You are neither short of food nor money, so what are you doing digging that up? It's because people who don't have enough to eat have nothing to do, so they have to dig something to satisfy their hunger. It’s watery and it’s still bitter, can you eat food and meat?”
Shen Ruolan said mischievously: "I don't care, I just want to dig anyway, so don't you try to stop me."
Shen Fucun was amused by her childish appearance, and said, "Okay, I won't stop you, I'll dig with you, okay?"
"It's not too bad!" Shen Ruolan giggled, her mood was very beautiful.
Maybe it's because spring has come and everything is recovering, and her mood has also improved. Maybe it's because everything has gone well recently, which makes her full of hope and confidence in her future life. Anyway, she is in a very good mood at this moment, so good that she I want to sing to the green mountains and green waters outside.
Thinking of this, she really opened her voice and sang: "The sun rises in Songshan Col, the morning bells startle the birds, the stream in the forest murmurs, and the green grass on the slope..."
The crisp and sweet singing voice rippling away from the car, echoing in the mountains, the lingering sound curled up, melodious and melodious, those women and children picking wild vegetables stopped their work, looked at the slowly moving car, showing A look of astonishment came.
Sitting in the car, Shen Fucun looked at his little cousin in shock, as if meeting her for the first time.
He has known her for fourteen years, and he never knew that she could sing. Moreover, she could sing so beautifully, even better than the oriole in the valley. The singing was like the sound of nature, clear and melodious, really amazing His ears also touched his heart!
It made his heart feel as if it had been cleansed in an instant, and suddenly became clear and transparent, as if it suddenly became very clean and pure...
After singing, Shen Fucun sighed leisurely: "Lan'er, you can still sing?"
Shen Ruolan smiled brightly, and said, "Yes, how is it? Can I sing well?"
Shen Fucun deliberated for a while, trying to find a few appropriate words to describe his sister's melodious singing voice that day. However, he had never studied, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a suitable word to describe it. After a few times, I can only use the few words I use to express my meaning, "It sounds good, it sounds good, it sounds so good..."
Shen Ruolan was amused to giggle non-stop when she saw the big hall brother's babbling, babbling, and incomprehensible words.
Shen Fucun looked at the lively and agile younger sister, and gently raised the corners of his lips to smile.
He suddenly felt that this little cousin is so kind and cute, she is smart, capable, talented, cheerful and lively, compared to the one at his house who knows how to eat melon seeds all day long, seeing this is not pleasing to the eye, and seeing that younger sister who looks down on her does not know how strong she is. How many times!
**
Two days later, Shen Ruolan and Shen Fucun's carriage returned to Kaoshantun.
Returning to her long-lost home, Shen Ruolan felt very sweet. Every plant, tree, brick, and tile in the house was so familiar and kind. Although this place is not as grand as the home in Jizhou, everything here is her own. Whether it's the house or the land, as well as everything in the house, she bought it with money. Apart from looking friendly, it feels very practical to use.
Only if the house and land are all your own, this is your home!
Shen Ruolan is a person who loves her family very much and misses the old days very much. How many times, she has secretly planned in her heart that when the business in Jizhou is straightened out, she will leave it to her father and Zhou Zheng, and she will come back here , continue to be her little peasant girl.
No way, a native rural person likes the atmosphere of the countryside in her bones. No matter how prosperous the big city is, she doesn't like the wealth. She likes to stay in the country, raise chickens, plant land, watch the flowers bloom and fall in four seasons, and listen to the flowing water in the mountains. Birdsong, living the simplest life, she thinks, this is a comfortable and comfortable life!
The house is slightly different from when she left. The sheds in the front garden are growing very well and lush, especially the shed where coriander, cabbage, spinach and stinky vegetables are grown. The greens in it have long been edible, but Shouya and Daqing both look at it. It's tight, no one has eaten a single vegetable in it, let alone them themselves.
The green vegetables in the other four greenhouses are also growing very well. The persimmon seedlings, cucumber seedlings, and pepper seedlings have all bloomed, and they will be almost ready to eat in another month. Cumin is also growing very well, and some of them have bloomed, just waiting for the flowers to bear fruit...
The chickens, ducks and geese in the backyard were fed fat and fat by Shouya, all the hens and geese were opened, two of the old hens became mother chickens, and behind each of them was a group of chattering Little Chick; the original sheepfold was fenced out, and more than 30 goslings were raised, which was found by Shouya on the kang. Brother Daqing helped her clean and trim the sheepfold, and it became The current goose circle is a circle of yellow and tender, fluffy little things, like a bunch of small pompoms, so cute!
Dozens of chickens, ducks and geese are kept in the back garden, and the chickens fly and the ducks call, making the back garden look particularly lively, and the whole house is also full of vitality.
Shouya is still living in the old house now, and the new house has to be exposed to the sun for several months before moving in, otherwise the house will be damp, which is not good for the body.
The old house was cleaned up by Shouya, and there were two baskets placed on the kang, which contained goose eggs and eggs, which were all laid by her own chickens and geese. Shouya didn't want to eat them, so she saved them up. Save it for Shen Ruolan when she comes back so she can eat it.
