The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 330: Stepping on the moon and returning (2)
Around Qingming is the time when spring planting really begins.The busy figures of farmers can be seen everywhere in the fields, and the air is filled with the smell of soil with the smell of fertilizer.

Others are farming, and Su Xiazhi is not idle at home.Most of her yard was covered with bluestone when it was leveled, but a few plots were also specially set aside, such as the small plot in front of the kitchen window where she planted leeks and shallots.

When the scholar left, she agreed to plant a bunch of leeks and wait for him to come back and eat scrambled eggs!

Leeks are easy to serve, and they don't take much thought. They can grow green and lush. Su Xiazhi is also very happy to see the leeks grow from hair strands into the shape of grass. She stretched out her hand to gesture After a while, I felt that there would be a long stick before I could eat it.

The leeks planted last year were finally planed because the yard was overturned, and she didn't have time to collect more leek flowers.She planted a lot this year, and when the leeks bloomed, they were harvested and dried, and the leek flowers were stuffed. This winter, she made sesame sauce and chili oil. It is so beautiful to eat hot pot with the whole family!

Originally, she thought about planting a few peonies in front of the window of the main house, but after the peony incident last year, although it was bitter Artemisia that killed her, Su Xiazhi transferred her grievances to the peonies, so after several considerations, She got a bunch of grapes and came back to plant them.

In Su Xiazhi's words: "This thing looks green in spring and summer, eats fruits in autumn, and can block the wind in front of the window in winter. It's really good!"

The grapes are brought back and planted, but we can’t let them grow like seedlings on the ground, right?

Su Xiazhi hired someone to set up some logs in the yard and set up a neat grape trellis.

"Auntie, when will the grapes grow?" Jiaojiao, who came back from the school, came in and saw her aunt was still tinkering with those long seedlings. She stuffed the cloth bag holding the books into Min Qinglan's hand and squatted down beside Su Xiazhi. .

"Go, go to your mother's house and get the thick thread. Auntie saw that it was not enough to wind them up. When the wind blew, they all fell to the ground again."

"Hey." Jiaojiao listened to Su Xiazhi's words very much, and immediately got up and went back to the house with her calves tightly backwards. After a while, Min Qinglan's needlework basket ran out, chasing her mother: "Put it down! That basket The inside is full of embroidery thread, which my mother twisted for a long time, and the hemp rope used to tie the grape seedlings will do!"

After a few steps, she caught up with her daughter and snatched back the bamboo basket. Min Qinglan raised her hand to hit her.

"Ahem! The child is aunt, hit your own girl, don't hit mine!" Su Xiazhi got up and stretched out her hand, pulled Jiaojiao to her side, rubbed her head with a smile and said, "Stupid! Don't hit me next time." Carrying a bamboo basket and running, if you see your mother chasing you, give it to her quickly, a slap is not worth it."

"Yeah." Jiaojiao raised her head to listen to her, then nodded heavily, and actually made Min Qinglan laugh: "You don't teach children like this! Jiaojiao is a girl's family, so you can teach like this, sooner or later you will become a bandit ! Shall we find my in-law’s family in the future?”

"Cut..." Su Xiazhi pursed her lips and continued to raise her head to study how to put a bunch of grape seedlings on the ground on a shelf: "It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married. Although our Min family's daughter is not as honorable as the emperor's family, But all of them are baby bumps, just wait, when the time comes, those who propose marriage will definitely break through the threshold!"

The smile on Min Qinglan's face froze, and then she quickly walked back to the east room, and when she came out again, she had a pair of hemp rope and a pair of scissors in her hand, her eyes were a little red.

"Are you moved? Are you ashamed? Treat me better in the future!" Su Xiazhi knew that the elder sister-in-law had something on her mind, and remembered the Zhou family's disgust for her two daughters. The more she was like this, the more she treated Jiaojiao and Lele is good, it is to let those things that are not open to look at: the daughter is as delicate as the Min family, no worse than the boy!

Min Qinglan couldn't help laughing when she saw her younger siblings sticking out their stomachs and not forgetting to talk poorly: "You don't want to have a daughter, you will have to spoil me until the time comes!"

Looking down at her slightly swollen abdomen, Su Xiazhi smiled slightly: "That's right, if I give birth to a daughter, the scholar will definitely spoil her to the limit..."

"As soon as I mentioned Lan Sheng, I wanted to ask. It's May, and there is no news from the capital? It is said that the spring test is over long ago." Min Qinglan handed her the hemp rope and scissors, and went into the room by herself. He moved a chair and put it under the grape arbor and stood up.

"I went to the county government yesterday to inquire. Mr. Zhao said that counting the time, the official documents will arrive in a day or two, and I will ask when I go to the shop tomorrow." Cut a piece of hemp rope and handed it to the aunt, Su Xiazhi is also calculating the date when Xiucai will return.

"Don't worry, if you win, we will send out good news here, and everyone from all over the world will know about it. Lan Sheng has been struggling for so many years, I think he can pass the Jinshi exam no matter what."

Su Xiazhi didn't speak.

She thought differently from Min Qinglan, she would be happier than anyone else if she did well in the exam.But to be honest, she doesn't really hope that the scholar will do well in the exam!

Because that will make him more dazzling, and more people will notice him.

Su Xiazhi is not afraid that the scholar will be attracted by other women, but that if he shows his talent too much, he will be valued by the superiors, and then he will be promoted and cultivated by his side. It's time for separation...

Now that she was so pregnant, it was impossible to travel long distances to find him.

Then we can only endure a longer separation.Su Xiazhi didn't want to do this.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the county government office to ask again. I'm always at ease after asking." Su Xiazhi said softly as he handed another hemp rope up.

The weather in May is not very hot, and it is a comfortable time to sleep at night under a quilt.

Su Xiazhi took a shower, changed her clothes from inside to outside, and went to the pit early.

Xiaobai, the cat in the yard, made a sound of 'Ha Chi Ha Chi', which she could hear clearly in the back room.

It can be seen that the big dog is lying down at the door of the east room to look at Min Qinglan.

Although Mao Xiaobai would not make a vicious gesture towards Min Qinglan, but he would not be friendly to her like he did to Su Xiazhi, and always looked very wary of her.

Min Qinglan was so angry that she scolded it a few times, but Mao Xiaobai remained the same, scolding you like it or not, anyway, it can't understand.

Lying on the kang, riding on a scholar's pillow, Su Xiazhi went through everything about the noodle shop and Shi Linchun, thinking about going to the restaurant early tomorrow, and hearing Han Luqing say that she had added a few new dishes recently, she just happened to Go over and try it out.
