Red apricots make spring

Chapter 149 Good Harvest News
Lu Ce went out for several days, in order to hide his eyes and ears, he had to spend the night in Wenrou's room, but the two of them finally didn't have to share the same bed, Wenrou slept on the bed, and Lu Ce slept on the soft bed, separated by a screen. Neither is embarrassed by each other.

It's just that there is an extra man in the room, Rourou is hugging the thin quilt at this moment, lying there on his back, but he can't fall asleep for a while.There was only a rustling sound, it seemed that Lu Ce turned over, and she couldn't help turning over and lying on her side, opening her eyes to see the moonlight leaking in through the crack of the window, and shedding a piece of white on the ground.

"My grandfather may come to see me in the next two days." In the silence, Lu Ce suddenly spoke.

Do you want to see his family?Wen Rou felt quite embarrassed when she thought about it, and she didn't know what is particular about being an official, so she might not be able to handle it!

"You don't need to be nervous, just feel free when the time comes, he knows about our affairs." Lu Ce answered lightly as if he knew what she was thinking.

what!he knows!That is to know that her identity as a concubine is fake?Wen Rou blurted out: "Didn't he blame you for messing around?"

"No." When Lu Ce replied, his heart was moved, because old man Lu heard him mentioning this matter, he only asked him with a smile that was not a smile, "You don't know how to make fake plays for real?"

"Then your grandmother won't come?" Her gentle thoughts turned to the jade pendant they had talked about in the evening. For some reason, she felt that Lu Ce's grandfather and grandmother must have a very good relationship.

Lu Ce fell silent when he heard the words, and didn't make a sound for a while.

"Did I ask the wrong question?" Wen Rou asked anxiously.

"She passed away a long time ago."

After hearing Lu Ce's words, Ruan immediately apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know..."

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature." Lu Ce sighed lightly, and after a moment of silence reminded her: "In front of my grandfather, you must never mention my grandmother."

"Okay, I see." After Wenrou wrote it down, she quickly changed the subject and said, "Then I'll cook two dishes when he comes, but I don't know what he likes to eat."

"Meat." Lu Ce said concisely.

"Only love to eat meat?" Rourou asked again: "Any kind of meat?"

"Well, there's no joy without meat." Lu Ce said with a faint smile: "But he loves pork, beef and mutton the most. You don't have to bother to get wild game and fish, he thinks it's troublesome to eat, especially For birds, he said it was full of bones, not enough to fit between the teeth."

Gentle and speechless for a while, then hesitated: "Is he quite old? Eating so much meat, isn't he afraid of getting sick?" It wasn't that she wanted to curse the old man, but that it was true for older people to eat too much meat. that's not good!

"He's in his 70s, and he hasn't lost a few teeth. He always scolds my father, saying that my father makes him a vegetarian every day, and his mouth fades from eating." When Lu Ce mentioned his grandfather, he seemed to be talking too much. Woke up, and there was a touch of warmth in his words that couldn't be concealed, "After I left home, he ran out to meet me every three days. It’s not like he invites me to meet in the restaurant every time, and even orders a table of meat dishes, so that he won’t eat less.”

It sounds like this old man of the Lu family seems to be quite an interesting person, he bit his lip tenderly and thought to himself, wondering what he would be like, and whether Lu Ce looked like his grandfather or his grandmother.

The two chatted intermittently for a while. Lu Ce talked a lot about his grandfather. This seemed to be the most they talked since they met each other. He just listened gently and fell asleep!When she woke up the next day, she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. She fell asleep listening to others talking, which seemed a little too disrespectful. Finally, she peeked at Lu Ce's face a few times and saw that there was nothing unusual about him. I feel relieved.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Ce went to the study to read. After taking a gentle bath, he sat under the porch to play with mynah. The little maid Cai Yun suddenly came in and said that there was a coachman named Wu Tiancai, begging to see him outside the door.

Rou Rou hurriedly invited someone in, and she brought two maids, Mei Xiang and Xiao Huan to the hall to meet each other.Originally, she and Wu Tiancai were old acquaintances, so there was no need to avoid it, but now as a concubine, she couldn't teach people to gossip about the Lu family, so she had to be more cumbersome, and bring two more people with her when meeting outsiders.

Wu Tiancai came here this time to spread the word on behalf of Mei Youde, and he also transported a cart full of peppers and June persimmons, saying that there are still many in the field, and he didn't know the meaning of tenderness, so he didn't dare to collect them all. , I have to take it off quickly in two days.

"Caiyun, hurry up and ask a few people to move the things in the car in." After listening to his words, Ruan was very happy. She had thought about these two things for too long, and when she heard that they were available, she immediately stood up from her chair. I got up, and almost wanted to run out to move it by myself, but fortunately I restrained it, but I couldn't help telling the servant girl: "Be careful when you move it! That June persimmon won't fall!"

"Uncle Wu, hurry up and drink some tea." Seeing Wu Tiancai sitting in a chair and looking at the environment in the hall, Xiaohuan looked very cramped, as if he didn't even know how to put his siblings down, so he quickly pushed the teacup in front of him .

"Well, you must be very hungry all the way here." Rourou hurriedly asked someone to cook again, and then told Wu Tiantian not to be polite, to eat some fruit from the box by himself, and smiled: "These snacks are It was made by Mei Xiang herself, you should eat some first, and bring some more when you leave, and send it to Mei's family."

Wu Tiancai couldn't shirk it, wiped his hands on his clothes again and again, then carefully took a piece of coconut cake from the storage box, after tasting it, he was full of praise, and said with a smile: "Mei Xiang is promising, she can make such a cake. Delicious pastries!"

When Mei Xiang heard him boast, she lowered her head a little shyly and said, "It's all taught by my sister." Then she asked if everyone in the family is well, and if the younger brother and younger sister have caused trouble.

Wu Tiancai answered them one by one, and exchanged pleasantries for a while. Seeing that Wenrou was still treating him the same, he gradually relaxed, not as tense as when he first came here, until he heard Wenrou asked him how much June the field could harvest. Persimmon and pepper, just slapped their thighs and exclaimed: "This pepper and June persimmon grow a lot. My brother-in-law said that it was the first time I planted it. I don’t know what it is. The field can also grow two thousand catties, and if he replants it next year, he can grow three thousand catties per mu of land!"

"So much..." Wen Wen was surprised by herself. She was born in the city since she was a child, and she had no idea about farming. When she heard that the yield per mu was calculated by a thousand words, the five mu of land was worth [-] catties ? !She was speechless immediately.So much, how could it be possible to finish it?It’s okay to say that the peppers can be dried and eaten. The June persimmons can be kept for a long time, and they will rot.

She was hesitating on this side, Wu Tiancai hesitated on the other side and said: "But there is something, my brother-in-law asked me to ask the girl."

He was used to calling girls, so he forgot to change his words for a while, Wen Rou didn't notice this, and just asked: "What's the matter?"

"The two kinds of things that the girl asked to plant are rare things, and the people in the village have never seen them. When Youde first planted them, people didn't pay attention to them. When the fruits came out, the whole village rushed to see them. Youde lied to them that these things are poisonous, but no one believed them, and some children secretly picked them and tasted them when they were unawares."

"Ah——" Hearing this, Rourou felt a little dark. To be honest, she is not that stingy. It is not a big deal if someone steals something, but the problem is the taste of pepper, can those children bear it?Sure enough, I heard Wu Tiancai continue: "The June persimmons are just falling, but the peppers seem to have a weird taste. After some children ate them secretly, they said that their mouths hurt, and their eyes hurt when the juice got in their eyes." , crying all over the floor, causing many adults to bring their children to Mei's house to make trouble, saying that Mei's family is wicked, planting such poisonous things to harm people, even the few household items in his house It's all broken a lot."

"This... is too unreasonable, they want to taste it themselves, how can they blame others?" Xiaohuan couldn't help interjecting.

How poor the Mei family is, Wen Wen has seen it with my own eyes. Hearing what Wu Tiancai said, he couldn't help but blame himself for bringing the Mei family into trouble. After saying a word, seeing Wu Tian shaking his head, he felt relieved, and only mentioned Mei Xiang's sad things. Seeing her sad, everyone had to comfort her a few more words.

"What happened next?" Cai Yun stood there in a daze, urging Wu Tiancai to continue talking.

"Later? Later, for some reason, those babies gradually got better and didn't complain about the pain. This matter was finally revealed, but no one dared to touch the pepper anymore." Wu Tiancai laughed happily. , shook his head again and said: "But the June persimmon tastes good, and a lot has been stolen."

He listened tenderly, silent for a moment.

"Look at me, I'm talking so much nonsense!" Wu Tiancai slapped his thigh again and said, "Youde wants me to ask the girl, no one dares to touch that pepper, but the six Moon persimmon, when he was tending, people from the village would often watch him, maybe he had learned how to plant it, stole the seeds, and if he learned how to plant it later, what should we do?"
