Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 186
Gu Xiyun came to Linglongxuan, besides Ning Yezi and Wen's, there were several women in Linglongxuan.

Ying Caidie is also there, even if she is married to Li Chengshuo, she has been running the Yulifang business, and it is not because her mother-in-law doesn't like it that she stopped doing business in public.

Ning Yezi introduced Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun, "This is the fifth young lady of the prime minister's mansion, and she is also the partner who opened Yulifang with your elder sister. Next, she will teach you how to sit, stand and walk, How to be calm, calm and calm, all external words and deeds, as well as dressing and dressing, are taught by her."

"Chenxi/Xiyun, I have met Mrs. Wu Shao." The two sisters Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun stepped forward, and greeted Ying Caidie with a generous and thoughtful manner.

"Second Miss, Third Miss, please be polite." Ying Caidie stepped forward to return the gift in an extremely elegant manner. This Second Miss Gu really changed a lot, even she was quite surprised.

Ning Yezi then introduced these middle-aged women to their sisters.

Some of them are good at female red embroidery, and some are good at making soup and porridge for snacks.

Among them, one is a master of tea ceremony, and the other is a person who is skilled in flower arranging.

What these people want to teach their sisters is not only the life of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, but also the leisurely and elegant life of cooking tea and arranging flowers.

Wen's qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, and she taught the sisters all these things.

Among them, two nuns taught their sisters how to observe words and emotions, and how to read the hearts of their own men, commonly known as mind reading skills.

Ning Yezi knew that even if the two of them were married, if they didn't manage their marriage well, they would be disgusted by their husband's family sooner or later.

After all, there is a saying that is good, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Now I teach them these things, I just hope that they can grow their minds, be more calm when encountering problems, and don't be impulsive and savage to ruin their marriage.

Ying Caidie has never seen such a aunt who takes such painstaking care for her concubine. To be honest, she is quite envious of Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun. There is such a loving aunt who thinks so much about them.

With this loving heart, their biological mother probably never did this for them, right?
The two sisters Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun were also very moved. They raised their skirts and knelt down, kowtowed three times to their mother with tears in their eyes, and said in unison: "Daughter, thank mother for her kindness and painstaking efforts. My daughter will definitely live up to her mother's expectations! "

"Okay, let's all get up." Ning Yezi accepted their gift calmly, and asked them to help them up.

After arranging all this, she left.

Next, Ying Caidie took the lead and taught them how to walk steadily and calmly. This is the walking gait of a wife after marriage. It is different from the light and gentle gait of a girl. This steady and calm gait is more Being dignified and solemn can also make people have a certain majestic posture.

"Don't be surprised when things change, it means that no matter what happens to you, you can't lose your face in shock." Ying Caidie asked someone to bring a few small square tables and arrange them into two paths, so that the two sisters could stand dignifiedly on them. Walk calmly.

All the frightening things will be set in the middle, such as rats, centipedes, scorpions, snakes, toads, cats, squirrels and other animals that are suddenly thrown to their feet.

At first, even Gu Xiyun, who was used to seeing these snakes, insects, rats and ants in the countryside, was frightened, let alone Gu Chenxi, who was spoiled and spoiled and had never seen a cockroach.

The two little girls were so frightened that they screamed again and again, their faces were pale, and they wanted to run away with tears in their eyes.

"Don't cry! Go on, if you don't practice boldly today, and you will be bullied tomorrow, are you going to go back to your mother's house and cry?" Ying Caidie became stricter than Nanny Ke.

Gu Chenxi and Gu Xiyun hugged each other for a while, then under the gaze of Ying Caidie, they let go of their hands and walked away, lifting their feet and stepping on the road made of small couples. Hold one ropa, raise your head and chest, look forward, the footwork is steady and calm, every step is just right, which is exactly the footwork taught by Ying Caidie.

This time it was much better, at least it was just turning pale with fright, instead of jumping down screaming.

For the next few days, the two sisters have been receiving devil-style training, which is extremely terrifying.

……

On the third day of Xiling Aomei's marriage, Xiling Yan secretly left Xiling Chu, while Gu Xiangsi went to Shanghe Village.

Ye Wuyue has asked people to find all the materials and made the first batch of cement.

Ye Wuyue followed Gu Xiangsi to Shanghe Village. A few days ago, someone had laid the foundation and built several large reservoirs with blue bricks. Each reservoir, as long as it is full of water, is enough to irrigate ten acres of land. .

After that, a few layers of cement were applied.

All the people in Shanghe Village are wondering, can this strange cement really turn this big pool into something like a water tank that can store water?
Ye Wuyue asked them to use cement to plaster the inside and outside of the Red Cliff, as well as the bottom, after sunset. It was extremely important to apply layer by layer until the joints were completely smooth.

There are a few masons doing this job, Gu Xiangsi paid them two hundred Wen a day each, and they are all very motivated!

Before dark, Ye Wuyue went back to the city.

Today, Gu Xiangsi lives with a double in Shanghe Village.

This stand-in has exactly the same body shape as Xiling Yan, and it can be disguised as Xiling Yan. The whole person is also cold. Sometimes, Gu Xiangsi will be a little in a trance, feeling that Xiling Yan is always by her side.

Mo Yun was left behind this time, living in the front yard with a double pretending to be Lie Feng.

In order not to leak the fact that Xilingyan had left Xilan City, Gu Xiangsi did not bring Chuqing and the others with her when she came back to Shanghe Village, for fear that these little girls would ruin their affairs.

"Princess, you should go to bed early, and my subordinates will watch outside and won't let anyone disturb your rest." The substitute of Xiling Yan had already washed off her makeup. Sure enough, his own outline was about five times the size of Xiling Yan's. very similar.

"Well, go and rest!" Gu Xiangsi doesn't mind sharing a room with a strange man to rest. Since Xilingyan sent this person as a substitute, he must trust him very much. The person Xilingyan trusts must be reliable.

The other party bowed their hands and bowed, then retreated outside.

"Wait a minute! Tell me your name first, so you can't let me never know how to call you?" Gu Xiangsi sat in front of the dressing table, her hair bun removed, and her hair was covered with silky black hair, which fell vertically behind her like a waterfall. A bit softer, a bit less sharp.

The other party kept his head down, cupped his hands and replied respectfully: "The prince once named his subordinate——Teng Jiao."

"The soaring dragon?" Gu Xiangsi felt that the name was weird, so she combed her hair with a wooden comb, and asked casually, "Then what's your real name?"

"Return to Wangfei, this subordinate's real name... Yun Wuxin." Teng Jiao lowered his head and cupped his hands, saying this original name obviously caused him some pain.

"Yun...Okay, go and rest." Gu Xiangsi paused for brushing his hair, but in the end it was hard to say anything, so he was told to go down and rest.

"Yes." Teng Jiao backed out, the blue curtain of the carved partition hangs down to the ground, and six carved screens block the light in the bedroom, the outside is almost pitch black.

Teng Jiao went to Luohan's bed, folded his clothes and lay down, on this summer night when cicadas croaked and frogs croaked, but because the princess asked his name, he kept his eyes open and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

"Teng Jiao, the cloud is unintentional, but it is very gentle. You can also be a gentle person like the cloud." Gu Xiangsi got up and took off his coat, put it on the hanger, went to the bed and sat down, blowing out the air. Turned off the glazed lamp at the head of the bed, lay down in the dark, lying facing the outside, the veil had been put down.

As for Teng Jiao, she talked too much about his sadness, and she felt that she should comfort him. This could be regarded as her apology to Teng Jiao!

Teng Jiao was lying on the Luohan bed in the outer room. For the first time in his life, someone apologized to him, someone comforted him like this, and someone cared about his inner feelings like this.

Although Yun is unintentional, he is gentle...

……

Because the weather this year is really hot, under the scorching sun, after splashing water several times, these pools will dry up after five days.

The common people came to watch the water injection experiment, and sure enough, after the water was poured in, it really didn't flow out.

Gu Xiangsi drew a line on the water with limestone and told the people of Shanghe Village that after three days, if the water did not seep in, they could build a large storage tank with confidence.

In order to prevent the water from drying out, Gu Xiangsi also asked people to put brackets on it and set up a sun-shading shed.

In this way, it is better for them to see the best experimental results.

Both the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Household Affairs came to Shanghe Village for field inspections. They touched the cement pool with their own hands, and it was indeed very smooth. Moreover, it was amazing that it could actually store water without leaking out.

As soon as Lu Wenming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, saw Gu Xiangsi, he greeted Gu Xiangsi with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the princess! Princess, what kind of mud is yours, but it is so easy to use. With this cement, as long as it can be used this year After a few rains, these pools will be filled with water, and the suffering of the people in the drought-stricken lands will be solved!"

Natural disasters are indeed ruthless, but whether it is drought or flood, they will happen in a few areas, and this is not the case across the country.

However, it is always right to build pools and store some water in places where there will be no drought.

Gu Xiangsi took a few glances at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He was tall and thin with a mustache, and he was only in his early forties, but his face was wrinkled, his eyes were restrained, and he looked like a shrewd and cunning person.

She invited the two of them to sit in the village hall in the village. It is almost June now, and the grapes are ripe early this year. When they entered the village hall, Gu Xiangsi picked a few bunches of grapes and went to the well to fetch water for washing. Take it down, put it on a white porcelain plate, and serve it to them to taste.

"Thank you, princess. Please sit down, princess." Lu Wenming stood up in trepidation, and after inviting Gu Xiangsi to sit down, he was really thirsty, so he took a taste of an ordinary one, nodded with a smile, and said, "The princess here The grapes are really sweet, mainly fresh and thirst-quenching."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is called Fang Zhi. Seeing that Lu Wenming's food was so delicious, he couldn't help but pick up a grape and taste it, eh!It's really crunchy, sweet and juicy. What kind of grape is this, why is it so sweet?

Gu Xiangsi didn't bother to explain to them, this vine was given to her by Li Chengshuo before, but later she thought that the mare's milk grape could be developed, so she had someone transplant it to Shanghe Village.

The land in Shanghe Village is quite suitable for planting fruit trees, but the fruit trees are not easy to take care of, and the income is slow, so the villagers are unwilling to take risks in planting.

Next year, she will cultivate more grape saplings and distribute them to everyone to eat grapes at home. After a long time, when they see the yield and good taste of the grapes, they will naturally plant them on a large scale.

Anyway, take your time with everything!

Fang Zhi and Lu Wenming also stayed for a meal, and left Shanghe Village in the afternoon, preparing to go back and write a memorial, which will be reported to the emperor tomorrow morning, and Shanghe Village's successful construction of the reservoir.

On the way back, the fat man Lu Wenming smacked his mouth with endless aftertaste: "The little stupid chicken stewed mushroom made by the princess is so delicious, and there is also the crucian carp soup, rock sugar yuan hoof, water fried buns, fried I don’t know what kind of spices are sprinkled on the small river prawns, it really leaves a fragrant aftertaste, and the aftertaste is endless!"

Fang Zhi frowned and said, "Lord Lu, that's the concubine. It's a blessing in eight lifetimes to be able to eat a meal cooked by her herself. Do you dare to think about it next time? I'm not afraid that the prince will find out and cut it open later." Your belly, take the fat..."

"Hey! I just finished eating, can we stop saying such disgusting things?" Lu Wenming and Xiang Zhi were classmates, and they were also Jinshi students in the same department. They had been bad friends for many years.Otherwise, how could they be together, Qing Che Jian came to the countryside to investigate?
Xiang Zhi glanced at Lu Wenming's big belly in disgust, and if he ate any more, he would really turn into a pig.

After seeing off the two adults, Gu Xiangsi closed the courtyard door, walked back to the courtyard, and saw Teng Jiao cleaning the greasy dishes by the well outside the kitchen.

Teng Jiao's temperament is a bit cold, he is also taciturn, and he doesn't like to communicate with others, which makes people feel that he is a bit withdrawn, or should he be very lonely?
Gu Xiangsi walked over and stood beside Teng Jiao, looking down at his clumsy dishwashing movements, she squatted down with a smile, reached out to pick up an old loofah, lightly dipped it in saponin powder, brushed it a few times, clean.

Teng Jiao lowered his head with red ears, holding a bowl in one hand and an old loofah in the other, and said softly: "I have never done these things, since I was a child, I..."

"If you want to say it, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to force it." Gu Xiangsi always felt that Teng Jiao's past was full of pain, otherwise, he would not have chosen to be Xiling Yan's substitute.

Because he said that his real name was Yun Wuxin, and Tengjiao was the name given to him by Xiling Yan.

A person, who is so cruel, named him Wuxin?

"Princess, I want to be a gentle person, and I don't want to..." Teng Jiao frowned, lowered his head in silence for a long time, and then said sadly: "My mother gave me Wuxin. All of them are heartless, and I, the son of a person of good fortune and heartlessness, should be... heartless and heartless all my life."

Only then did Gu Xiangsi carefully look at Teng Jiao, seeing that his age should be about the same as Gu Yusheng's.Unexpectedly, his fate was even worse than that of Gu Yusheng.

Teng Jiao said so much, so he stopped talking.For so many years, he never told the prince about his past.

Facing the princess today, he felt a little wronged for some reason.That's it... the grievances that have been hidden in my heart for more than 20 years have been announced.

"If you don't mind, just recognize me as your older sister!" Although Gu Xiangsi is not a person full of sympathy, her heart is still a little soft due to the benevolent family education of doctors.

"Princess, this... this is not allowed, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority." Teng Jiao raised his head, looking at the very gentle concubine in front of him, he really wanted to call his sister and tell all the sorrows in his heart.

But he still remembered his identity, he was the prince's substitute and his subordinate.The concubine is the master, he can't discriminate between superior and inferior.

Gu Xiangsi was already washing the dishes with clean water. She turned her head and looked at Teng Jiao who was looking at her with aggrieved and eager eyes, but she dared not go beyond the rules and call her sister. She shook her head and sighed with a smile: "Hey! What about you! You are not very old, but your thoughts are very rotten. As for me, I see that you are about the same age as my second brother, and in the future! We will get along for a long time, and we can't be watched by others... how to say What about it? It’s just a little rusty and awkward, and you look like a fake.”

"This subordinate is 21 years old, it should be... one year older than Second Young Master Gu." Teng Jiao's words were a little innocent.

Gu Xiangsi was amused by his words. After laughing for a while, seeing that his ears and neck were red, she coughed lightly and said, "Okay, don't worry about it. No matter what, I'm older than you. You won’t suffer if you call me sister. Come on, call me sister and let me see if you can become a gentle person.”

Teng Jiao's eyes were as black as spots of paint, and he looked at her eagerly and nervously. He moved his lips a few times, but found it difficult to utter a word, because he...he hadn't called anyone kindly for many years.

Gu Xiangsi waited patiently. She had already wiped the washed dishes and put them on the clean tray.

But this poor little girl, why didn't she call her sister?
"Sister...sister..." Teng Jiao called out to his sister with some difficulty, as if all of his strength had been exhausted all at once.

"Good!" Gu Xiangsi smiled and praised Teng Jiao, got up and walked to the kitchen with the dishes on the tray, and said casually without looking back: "Remember to pour the water into the cesspool behind the east house , after a while, these are all good fertilizers."

"Yes." Teng Jiao was still in the habit of obeying orders, he got up and went to find two buckets of washing water, poured these two bowls of dishwashing water into it, and walked out with the leftovers .

Mo Yun, who was hiding at the side, touched his chin, and said to the fake Gaefeng beside him: "You said that this person who is usually silent, why does he... Sigh when he sees the princess!"

When the prince comes back and knows that the concubine recognizes Teng Jiao as his brother-in-law, I don't know what it will be like!

Fake Gaefeng didn't say a word, watching Mo Yun follow Teng Jiao out, but he stayed here devotedly to protect the safety of the princess.

With Xiling's face on his face, Teng Jiao went out to pour the hog water to feed the pigs, and then took the water for washing dishes to the village's unique large cesspool, poured the water down the stone trough again, and then carried two buckets go back.
