Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 157 Butterfly hairpin

Du Xian is a helpful person, and he knows that applying more cooked manure can increase the yield of crops. After talking about this and that, soon every household in the village began to use the quick cooked manure method. Wheat straw, where the straw smokes dung.

Of course, their family is no exception. Since they bought another five acres of land a few days ago, they need more fertilizer.

Zhao Dongzhi's family is in the bacon business, they don't farm anymore, and they need to buy rice and grain, so the Zhao family asks Du Xian to grow more every year. Now the two families basically share property. Fortunately, Huang Yun is honest and has no relatives. There is no need to worry about it, and Du Xiaoyu is in charge of all the money she makes, and Mrs. Zhao stopped asking about it a long time ago.

In such a calm day, it will be a lively Spring Festival in the blink of an eye.

It's a pity that after all, there is one less person. When the family is celebrating, they will always think of Du Wenyuan, and they will be more sad.

After the Lantern Festival, Du Huanghua went to Wanjia again. She had already left her teacher, and Mrs. Wan said that she had nothing to teach, so she just let her accumulate slowly. It will be great.

This day Du Xiaoyu went to the county to sell rabbit skins. Now she has more rabbits of different colors, so there are many kinds of rabbit skins, each with different prices. Fortunately, the market prospect is good, and Baiguan can accept it.

She counted a few ingots of silver and could get them happily. If things went smoothly all the time, she would earn quite a lot every year. In the future, whether she would continue to expand the rabbit house or do some other business was a little vague.

"Yu Niang, where is my sister?" When she came to Hongxiufang, she picked up the curtain and went in.

Seeing her, Yu Niang smiled and said, "I just went to Wan's house, my wife is looking for her, would you like to come in and sit down?"

Sister Rong was also there, with a sullen face, extremely displeased, "Why did you tell her to sit? Who is she? Our Red Sleeve Square is for entertaining guests, not for those messy people running in and out to make trouble!"

Du Xiaoyu cut it, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, Du Huanghua snatched her job, I'm afraid my heart is on fire, looking at this, I don't know what kind of hatred in my heart!
She was a little worried when she thought about it. Sister Rong's stay here really made people feel a little uneasy.

The curtain at the door was lifted again at this moment, and two richly dressed ladies and girls came in.

Before Yuniang greeted her, Sister Rong pushed Du Xiaoyu to the side as if she was a different person, and walked over in three steps at a time. A few bolts of cloth have been brought in, and it only takes Mrs. Ma with a complexion like yours to match it, and Miss San's pretty face!"

Unabashedly ingratiating, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but wonder, who is this Mrs. Ma?Sister Rong wants to flatter you like this!
Mrs. Ma showed no expression, she nodded and followed into the inner room, while the third girl showed some disdain, and followed with a slight snort.

"Yu Niang, aren't you going?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

Yu Niang shook her head, "Every time they come back, Sister Rong entertains them."

Not allowing outsiders to get involved, Du Xiaoyu lowered his voice, "Who is this Mrs. Ma?"

Yu Niang was a little embarrassed and pursed her lips.

It seemed inconvenient to say, so Du Xiaoyu stopped asking, and left for Wanfu after saying goodbye. She also didn't want to stay here and listen to Sister Rong's cheeky flattery.

As soon as he reached the main room, he saw Du Huanghua coming out of it, holding a bolt of royal blue cloth in his hand.

"Little fish, why are you here?" She asked in surprise.

"I just sold the rabbit skin and came to see you. What is this fabric for? Did Mrs. Wan ask you to embroider on it?" The material looked very good, it seemed to be shining in the sun, and it was extremely smooth to the touch. But it is not particularly soft, and it should feel heavy when worn on the body.

Du Huanghua nodded and dragged her to her bedroom.

"It was sent by the wife of the county mistress of Qidong County just now, and she said that she was ready to give it away." Du Huanghua looked solemn.

Du Xiaoyu also felt the pressure, but encouraged, "Since Mrs. Wan entrusts you with such an important matter, it can be seen that she believes in you. Sister, don't be too nervous, just embroider as before. Give Mrs. Wan advice."

Du Huanghua smiled, "You told me that I feel a little better. Before the master asked me to embroider this, I was so scared that my palms sweated. I don't know the wife of the county owner in Qidong County, unlike our Feixian County. The wife of the county mistress, the master knows her requirements better, so I don't have to worry so much when I embroider."

It seems that embroidery is not an easy job. Hearing this, Du Xiaoyu felt a little regretful. Those high officials and wives are really arrogant, but they just help them embroider. Why is it so dangerous!

It seems that if you are not careful, you will cause big trouble.

No wonder Zhao Dongzhi wanted to find a scholar to be her son-in-law so that she wouldn't be bullied if she got a good name in the future. She snorted, "Just wait until my brother-in-law becomes an official in the future. If my sister is happy, she will do it. If she is not happy, whoever cares about them!"

Du Huanghua burst out laughing, "You can't tell your brother-in-law this, lest he worry about me, and then he won't be able to read the book."

Du Xiaoyu glanced at her, "I know that I love you, husband-in-law!"

"You will find a husband-in-law in the future, I think you will still say that." Du Huanghua is a woman now, after all, she is not as shy as a girl's family, so she joked after saying this.

"Okay, I won't tell you these things." Du Xiaoyu coughed, "Who is that Mrs. Ma who often comes to Red Sleeve Square, do you know?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Naturally, she wanted to know what Sister Rong was thinking, so Du Xiaoyu laughed a few times, "I saw it just now, just curious."

Du Huanghua hesitated, "Why ask this carefully, it has nothing to do with you."

"Tell me about it, I won't tell others." She tugged on Du Huanghua's sleeve, "I think Sister Rong seems to be trying to please her. Could it be some official wife?"

Du Huanghua couldn't resist her, and whispered, "She is the magistrate's aunt."

Du Xiaoyu was a little dazed, the magistrate's aunt actually came to a county?
But thinking about it again, maybe the wife in the main room is too powerful, and it may not be possible to drive the aunt out, so the third girl should also be born of a concubine.

What exactly does Sister Rong want to please her?Speaking of which, Sister Rong is not young anymore, she should be seventeen, why hasn't she been looking for someone?
"Sister, Mrs. Wan didn't find a husband for Sister Rong?"

"I'm not sure about that."

"She is the young master who wants to marry Mrs. Ma all day long, so she can't believe what Master pointed out to her." Liu Hong stood pretty at the door, "Little junior sister is always busy studying embroidery, and I don't know anything about it. You still have to ask me about it, Xiaoyu."

"Sister Liu." Du Xiaoyu stood up and rushed towards her, "Yes, my sister really doesn't hear anything out of the window."

Liu Hong walked in with a smile and saw the sapphire blue cloth, "Master let you go out again?"

Du Huanghua was a little embarrassed, "Well, Master told me to exercise."

"Junior Sister's talent is astonishing, so she should take on this important task. I'm here to show you this picture. I don't know which stitch to use for the bird's tail, and this..."

Hearing that she came to discuss embroidery, Du Xiaoyu didn't want to disturb her, so she said goodbye to them and went out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he saw Zhang Zhuoyu standing there with his back to the courtyard gate, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Zhuo Yu?"

"You've come out. I heard someone said that you came to the mansion to look for Sister Huang Hua." Zhang Zhuoyu turned around and said with a slight smile.

"Oh, so are you waiting for me?"

He nodded, "Let's go for a walk in the garden."

Du Xiaoyu was not in a hurry to go back, so he followed to the garden. It's not yet March, and many flowers haven't bloomed yet. There are only a few small flowers scattered in the corner, but they are also quite interesting.

"Senior brother, have you written a letter yet?" Zhang Zhuoyu looked at her profile. He had been quite worried about Du Wenyuan's affairs. After all, he was the elder brother who had lived for more than ten years. He didn't know how sad she was, so his tone was somewhat Carefully.

"I'm busy dealing with Chunwei right now, where can I write letters?"

Seeing that her expression was calm, her tone was relaxed, and she didn't show the slightest worry, he was relieved, thinking that it would be good if she looked away.

The two walked slowly for a while without speaking.

"Little fish."

Hearing him call her suddenly, Du Xiaoyu turned her head sideways, looking at the upper left side inquiringly, Zhang Zhuoyu had also grown taller, if she wanted to meet her eyes, she had to raise her head slightly.

He took out a butterfly hairpin inlaid with various jades from his sleeve, "I saw it on the street and thought you would look good wearing it, so I bought it."

It is not a normal act to give away jewelry, Du Xiaoyu's eyes flashed slightly.

Zhang Zhuoyu hastily added, "You gave me a sapphire pen last time, this, this is considered a courtesy."

Speaking of this, Du Xiaoyu felt a little guilty, "That pen didn't help." Zhang Zhuoyu once said that she would take it to the capital to take the exam, and she also said that he would definitely pass the exam, but he failed.

"That's not your fault, it's because I didn't work hard enough, but next time I will take it with me, and I will definitely be able to go to high school by then!" Zhang Zhuoyu hurriedly comforted her.

Du Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, "Yes, you will succeed next time!"

"Then you take this hairpin." He handed it forward, his young face was slightly flushed, and his eyes fell on her face with a scorching temperature.

If he doesn't take it, he will be very disappointed, right?

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "That's good, so you don't have to worry about me for nothing." After saying that, he took it and put it in his sleeve, "But don't give these away in the future, I would rather you lend me a few more. What about the book?"

Zhang Zhuoyu was taken aback for a moment, seeing that she was not shy at all and was so frank, he felt a little uncomfortable, but she had already accepted it, so he should be happy.

"Little fish..." He opened his mouth.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Du Xiaoyu said at this moment, "I should go back, mother is still waiting at home."

Zhang Zhuoyu had no choice but to say, "I'll take you out."

The two walked towards the gate without noticing that there was a person hiding behind a plum tree.
