Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 140 The Heart Is Not Ancient
In this time and space, concubines and concubines are clearly ranked. In a family, concubines and concubines are all lower than other brothers and sisters. I heard that Li Yu's wife has three children, two boys and one girl.

So, will Du Wenyuan have a good life when he goes back?For a bastard who appeared out of nowhere, a son born to a woman who once competed for favor with him, how would the mistress treat him?
Du Xiaoyu felt that the situation was very pessimistic, but he also understood why Du Wenyuan didn't mention this, so he didn't want her to worry about it, did he?
Since he didn't say anything, she had no choice but to pretend not to understand.

Du Xiaoyu went to the county this day to order three writing brushes. They planned to use sapphire to carve some patterns on the barrels of the brushes.

It was completed in less than three days, and Du Wenyuan gave it to him when he came back.

He couldn't put it down, played with it in his hand for a while, and asked, "Is it made of Huang Daxian's fur?" Du Xian reprimanded the little wolf for several days and told it not to catch Huang Daxian again. I heard about it when I got home.

Du Xiaoyu was overjoyed, "Don't let dad hear it, he's afraid of causing bad luck, mother is pregnant now."

Du Wenyuan nodded knowingly.

"By the way, there is another pen you bring to Zhang Zhuoyu, and I will thank him."

Du Wenyuan took a look, frowned and said, "Why do you feel the same?" There was some dissatisfaction in his words.

Du Xiaoyu pointed to the top of his brush, "You didn't look carefully, it's obviously different here, okay?"

Although the patterns are the same, because the two of them are going to take the provincial examination next year, they have someone carve the pattern of egrets and lotus reeds, which means all the way to the branch, implying the success of the imperial examination, but there are three more characters on the top of Du Wenyuan's pen .

"Gift from Xiaoyu." Du Wenyuan read it softly, and couldn't help laughing, "Of course I know it's from you, but do you want to engrave your name on it?"

Du Xiaoyu curled her lips, "It's the same as you said just now, but now you think I'm doing too much?"

"That's not true." He stroked the three characters with his fingers, and his voice softened a little, "Okay, I'll use this pen to take the provincial examination."

"I will definitely win!" She clenched her fist and shook it slightly, then looked at Du Wenyuan and said seriously, "Actually, there is another reason for me to engrave my name."

Du Wenyuan pretended to be listening attentively.

"Second brother will go to the capital in the future. If you encounter setbacks, please remember to have me as a younger sister. She may not be able to help you, but at least you can write letters." She said carefully in a low voice. , I have always been uneasy, although he is about to become the son of a prominent family of ministers, but how many people really care about him and love him?The future is difficult, I hope he can pour it out.

Her eyes were full of concern, as warm as the early autumn sunshine outside the window. Du Wenyuan blinked, showing his neat teeth, showing an extremely cheerful smile.

"I will remember what you said," he said slowly, "but with each other, if you have difficulties, you can also write to me."

Help each other in the same boat, even if we are not in the same boat in the future, our hearts can still be together.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and didn't need to say anything more.

The honeysuckle in the field has a tendency to bloom at this moment, and the slender, white buds are like small hopes condensed in Du Xiaoyu's heart. She is so happy that she has to patrol the acre of land every day to see how the branches and leaves are. If there is any abnormality, weed for a while, and water again for a while.

Because it is a newly planted honeysuckle, otherwise the first flowering should be in mid-June. It seems that it may only bloom once in the first year, and not all branches may bloom, so the harvest should not be much.

But it's also very good. In the past six months, he didn't encounter any disasters and survived healthy and healthy. Du Xiaoyu felt lucky enough.

She patted the dirt on her body, stood up and prepared to go home for dinner, but the little wolf who was following her suddenly pricked up her ears vigilantly, stared in one direction, and remained motionless.

This is a very strange phenomenon, it usually doesn't happen like this, Du Xiaoyu quickly looked up and looked around, but found nothing, only the wind blowing gently, the field was quiet, it seemed normal.

"Let's go home." This guy was still suspicious, Du Xiaoyu was amused.

One person and one dog walked forward for a while, but the little wolf still looked back from time to time. She laughed and scolded, "What are you doing? Didn't you get bold again? You have a lady in your family." She was stunned for a moment, two figures were rushing out from her acre of land, but unfortunately they were too far apart to see clearly, they ran away after a while.

She frowned, who is it?What do you want to do in her field?
Could it be... A thought flashed in her mind, and her eyebrows frowned even tighter.

After finishing the meal and clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, she asked solemnly, "Father, is there enough time for one night to build a thatched shed near the field of honeysuckle?"

Du Xian asked strangely, "Why do you want to build a straw shed?"

"When I came back, I saw someone sneaking around, so I was worried." Du Xiaoyu expressed his worry, "This flower can't be picked yet, but it will be ready in a few days, and it can be worth a few dollars if sold. Moreover, it is very convenient to adopt and there is no movement, I am afraid that some people will not understand our family and have a crooked mind."

"How could it be, you kid is thinking too much." Du Xian disagreed.

It was Mrs. Zhao who asked, "Who did you call to see it when you set up thatched shed? Isn't it deserted at night?"

"Of course I went, it's okay to take the little wolf with me." Du Xiaoyu patted the little wolf's head, "Most people are afraid of it, and even if there is a disturbance, they can't hide from its ears."

"Nonsense, how can you, a little girl, sleep outside?" Du Xian shook his head and said, "Stop thinking about it, who would come to pick your flowers so unscrupulously? Okay, okay, you've been tired all day too." Rest early."

Du Xiaoyu knew that he couldn't convince him. This father didn't have the word "bad guy" in his heart, so he could only sigh and said sullenly, "That's fine."

Even though he said so, after going out, he took the little wolf back to the mu of land and ordered it to guard here.

The little wolf understands human nature quite well, so he did not follow after he understood.

She didn't sleep well all night, and it seemed that she heard dogs barking in the middle of the night, but she was really tired physically, and she couldn't wake up in a daze, and didn't fall asleep until dawn.

When she woke up in the morning and saw Du Xian's embarrassing expression, hesitant to speak, she became suspicious and asked what was going on.

Du Xian sighed, with a look of shame on his face.

Mrs. Zhao glanced at him and said, "Your father just thought you were wrong. He ran to the field early in the morning to see you, and wanted to talk about you, saying that our neighbors in the village have a good relationship, but in the end..."

"Did it really get stolen?" Du Xiaoyu asked anxiously, "How much was stolen? Did it get trampled?" What she was most afraid of was not stealing the flowers. She was afraid that those branches and leaves would be damaged by someone, and the loss would be huge. It will drag down the harvest in the next few years.

"Not many, I checked, and the branches and leaves are not damaged." Seeing that she was anxious, Du Xian hurriedly said, "Only some were picked around the outer circle. Fortunately, there are little wolves around, hey!" He sighed again, "Why?" There are really such bad-hearted people, and our family has never harmed anyone, so it’s really outrageous to plant some herbs and think about stealing them!”

Du Xiaoyu didn't speak for a while, lowered his head, picked up the steamed bun, dipped some freshly fried meat sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that she was a little angry, Du Xian leaned over and said, "I'll go there in a while to set up a shed, and if they take care of it for a few days at night, they probably won't come."

"It's troublesome to grow some herbs." Zhao sighed with emotion, "Look at growing rice and wheat, there will be such things."

Yes, people's hearts are not ancient!Think about getting something for nothing!

This is still the first year. If it grows well in the future and can bloom several times, won't other people be more jealous?Du Xiaoyu lowered his head and thought, sooner or later he would have to hire someone to guard it, but the scale is small now, so it would be a waste to invite someone to look at this acre of land.

Or think of a different way first...

The little wolf is still useful, otherwise she wouldn't just steal a little bit. She looked up into the yard, only to see the black dog lying lazily basking in the sun.

If you get two dogs, no, add three puppies to see it, it should be safe, right?
Du Xian soon started to build thatched sheds. The house already had extra materials from the construction of the rabbit house last time, so it was already set up in the afternoon. It's definitely okay to make do at night. Du Xiaoyu moved a stool and apologized to Du Xian, "Father will help me keep watch for a few nights, and I can take it in two days."

"Why are you being polite to your father? At your mother's place, you can sleep with her at night." Du Xian smiled, and took a picture of the temporary wooden bed. No one else would dare to steal it."

Du Xiaoyu nodded and took Du Xian's arm, "Father is the best. I'll let the little wolf accompany you at night. Daddy can go to sleep. If the little wolf barks, he'll wake up again. By the way, do you want to bring a knife with you?" by your side?"

"What kind of thief do you think?" Du Xian laughed, "The people in a village must have been scared away when they heard my voice, so how dare they show up."

Du Xiaoyu thinks about it too, after all, it's not a lot of money, it must be someone who is in poverty.

If you really can't live on, even if you ask her to borrow money, maybe you can help them, why use stealing?It's really the next best thing to do!
After bidding farewell to Du Xian, Du Xiaoyu came back to sleep with Mrs. Zhao on the kang.

"Isn't it cold outside?" Mrs. Zhao looked at the sky, "It sounds like it's windy."

Knowing that she felt sorry for her husband, Du Xiaoyu apologized, "I should have gone to see it, but Dad was tired all day and had to go outside to guard..."

"Your father won't let you see it even if he's exhausted. How can the girl go out to sleep? If someone finds out, she'll chew her tongue." Mrs. Zhao withdrew her worried expression, "It's only two days, your father can last Hold on, let's make meat soup for him tomorrow. Go to sleep, I think you didn't sleep well last night, and your face is so pale."

Du Xiaoyu nodded, stroked Zhao Shi's stomach, and suddenly smiled, "It's moving, mother."

"It must be like a monkey." Mrs. Zhao laughed, "It's skinnier than any of you."

"With my sister here, I can heal no matter how skinny it is."

"You're just waiting to bully your younger siblings." Mrs. Zhao poked her head.

The two talked and laughed for a while and then fell asleep to rest.
