Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2292 Traveling (one more)
"Tang Yazi, let's go to Huguang County in a few days." Yang Ruoqing said suddenly.

"Almost every year, Big Brother Zuo, the older brother, comes to offer us New Year greetings."

"We haven't taken the initiative to pay New Year's greetings to him. Every time we think about it, we feel so rude,"

"So, I want to go to Zuojiazhuang to pay New Year's greetings to Brother Zuo's mother, and to live there for two or three days to change the environment. What do you think?" she asked.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay, I'll accompany you, then I'll prepare the gifts in the next two days."

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"Before going to Zuojiazhuang, I want to go to the county seat first, and pay homage to the family of County Magistrate Zou and Brother Xu Mang's family first. What do you think?" She asked him again.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Well, let's finish paying New Year's greetings nearby first, and then go to Zuojiazhuang."

Having made up their minds, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang had already told the elders of the two families about the itinerary before cooking dinner at night.

At this time, Luo Tiejiang and Wang Cuilian had already moved back to the old Luo family's old house. Hearing this, the old couple immediately decided to move back tomorrow and help Tuobaxian take care of the two children together.

After dinner, Mrs. Sun came over, and the bamboo basket was full of salted duck eggs.

"Mother, what are you?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised.

Sun said with a smile: "There are a hundred salted duck eggs here, all salted duck eggs in red oil pickled by myself."

"You keep fifty for Brother Xu Mang's family for the children to eat, and bring the rest to Mrs. Zuo. She eats porridge in the morning, so she can add another dish."

"These are things that can't be put on the table, and they are not worth a lot of money, but they are what our farmers like, and they are a little bit of thought. You can pass them along." Sun said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, "Mother, the salted duck eggs you make are a major signature of our Tianxiang Building. Bring them here, and they will definitely like them."

Mrs. Sun smiled, and asked Yang Ruoqing, "When are you going to come home?"

"Your brother Da'an is going to go back to the academy in the county to study after his [-]th birthday. I don't know when he will be back next time." Sun said.

Thinking that Da'an could only stay at home for a few more days, Sun couldn't help showing a bit of reluctance.

Yang Ruoqing was also reluctant in her heart, but,

"Mother, don't worry, Tang Yazi and I will be back before the Lantern Festival." She said.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "That's good. I'll make your favorite Jiuniang Yuanxiao and wait for you at home."

Early the next morning, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang set off for the county seat loaded with New Year's greeting gifts.

Seeing their young couple coming, Xu Mang's family was very happy and busy killing chickens and fish to entertain them.

Yang Ruoqing went to the Zou family alone to pay New Year's greetings.

"Miss Yang came today by a coincidence. My master and wife Tian Maliang took the young master to Cuiwei Mountain to the north of the county seat to worship Buddha."

"I will stay in the temple over there tonight, and I won't be able to return until tomorrow afternoon."

The butler of the Zou family received Yang Ruoqing and said.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "It's okay, I will leave the gift to represent my heart, please ask the old housekeeper to pass it on for me."

Everyone likes to get a little bit of sweetness, so it's just for nothing to let someone tell you something, there may be omissions in it.

Yang Ruoqing took out two taels of silver and gave it to the old housekeeper.

"For Chinese New Year, this is my heart, I will always buy you wine." Yang Ruoqing said again.

When the old housekeeper saw the silver, the smile on his face became several times brighter than before.

"If so, thank you very much." He accepted the money unceremoniously, and watched Yang Ruoqing leave respectfully.

Stayed overnight at Xu Mang's house, and the next morning, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang left for Zuojiazhuang.

The car was driving very fast, trying to reach Zuo's house before noon.

Zuojiazhuang.

Zuo Junmo greeted Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang to enter the yard, and the carriage was handed over to a servant at home to lead them to the backyard.

Looking at the gifts that Luo Fengtang was carrying in both hands, and the basket full of salted duck eggs in Yang Ruoqing's arms, Zuo Junmo smiled.

"You can just come and play, you really don't have to spend so much money, look at this big bag, carrying it on your shoulders and hands, it makes Brother Yu really..."

"Hey, Big Brother Zuo, it's nothing, it's just some local specialties from farmers, not worth a lot of money, let's have fun, let's celebrate the New Year!"

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

Zuo Junmo nodded: "Come, let's go into the house and drink tea."

After entering the house, Yang Ruoqing found that the old lady Zuo was not in the main room.

"Where's the old lady? Did you go to visit relatives and friends?" She put down the basket and asked.

Zuo Junmo was making tea with the best tea leaves there. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "Perhaps it's because I've caught a little cold these past two days, and I've had a bit of food accumulation. My mother has had a poor appetite for the past two days, and I don't have much strength in my body. I've taken medicine Then I lay down in the backyard."

"Ah?" Yang Ruoqing was surprised, and then said, "I'll go and have a look."

Zuo Junmo said: "Don't be in a hurry, you have come all the way here and you haven't even had a sip of tea, go after drinking tea."

Yang Ruoqing said: "I'll drink it later, you two drink first, I'll go see the old lady."

Zuo Junmo didn't know what to do, and was about to call the maid to lead the way, Yang Ruoqing waved her hand: "For your family, I'm familiar with the road, so you don't need to bother, drink tea first, and I'll come back later."

After saying this, she went to the backyard like a gust of wind.

In the backyard, at the door of Mrs. Zuo's house.

The little maid who always accompanied the old lady was at the door of the house, feeding a bird in a cage hanging on the porch.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing approaching, the little maid immediately recognized her.

"Miss Yang, are you here?" She took the initiative to greet Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing also raised her eyes and gave her a gentle smile, and said in a low voice: "I just arrived, I heard from Brother Zuo that the old lady is not feeling well, I'll come over and take a look."

After finishing speaking, she turned her gaze to the half-open door behind the little maid, and said in a low voice: "Is the old man asleep or awake now?"

The little maid said: "Just fell asleep for a while..."

Yang Ruoqing was about to say that since she fell asleep, she could only come back later when Madam Zuo's voice suddenly came from the room.

"But Qing'er is here? Come in quickly."

"Ah, I just woke up again." The little maid's eyes lit up, and she quickly called Yang Ruoqing into the room.

Inside the room, when you walk in, you can smell a strong smell of medicine.

On the bed over there, Mrs. Zuo had already sat up, leaning against the big pillow behind her.

"Oh, my ancestors, the doctor said that your stomach can no longer catch the cold, why are you sitting up in a single dress?"

The little maid snorted, and quickly picked up the big padded jacket at the side, and put it on the old lady Zuo.

Madam Zuo's eyes kept falling on Yang Ruoqing who had just entered the door.

"Qing'er, sit here." She greeted Yang Ruoqing.

"Hey, okay." Yang Ruoqing responded, took a stool and sat beside the bed.

Mrs. Zuo gently pushed the little maid who came over with a warm handbag away, and said, "I'm lying in the quilt, how can I be so cold? Don't be so busy taking care of me, give Qing'er a handbag first." Make tea and get pastries!"
