The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 186 Get a small courtyard and enjoy the tranquility for a lifetime

Tang Dai told him that he only needs to do his best to teach it. As for the level of the eight martial arts, it is their own creation.She didn't take them in completely to make them fight martial arts, she would teach them other things in the future.

Xiaobai nodded in agreement, saying that he would try his best.Since then, the future destiny of the eight children has been completely changed at this moment. They have been closely linked with Tang Dai throughout their lives, and they are closely related.

Xiaobai stayed and devoted himself to teaching the children martial arts.Tang Dai and Xiaoqing returned to Tangjia Village, preparing for the upcoming tasks in the field.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Tang Dai was leading He Zhuzi, and Tang Dagui was selected from the training village to be sent to various towns to teach the villagers how to raise seedlings and grow chili technicians.But the little junior sister ran from home crying, and threw herself into Tang Dai's arms when she saw Tang Dai, crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

"Jing'er, what's the matter? What's the matter?" Tang Dai put her arms around her with one hand, and patted her back with the other to comfort her.

"Mother, mother... she... she... woo... woo..."

"What's wrong with your mother? Didn't eat again, or lost her temper with you again?"

"No... no, my mother was speechless. I pushed her, but she didn't respond to me. I called her in the morning, but she ignored me. I thought she was sleeping, but when I called her just now, she still didn't respond. Talk to me. Is she dead, dead? I dare not feel her pulse, lest she scold me." Li Jing told Tang Dai sobbing.

"Don't worry, I'll take a look with you, don't be afraid, ah." Tang Dai comforted Li Jing softly, telling her to calm down.

"Uncle He, Uncle, you go ahead, I'll go and have a look."

Tang Dai took Li Jing's hand, her little hand was cold and bony, she couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart, a child without a mother is like a grass, Jing'er lost favor without a father, having a mother is the same as not having a mother, Ever since the master left, my wife has walked into a dead end, no matter who persuades her, she won’t listen to her, she loses her temper repeatedly, refuses to eat, refuses to drink medicine, tossing Jing’er until she loses her former vivacity. It was better for the third brother to be with her at home, but as soon as the third brother left, Jing'er would come to her crying every now and then.well!

When the two came to the small courtyard, the courtyard was no longer as warm as it was when the master was there, it was as cold as an ice cellar, Tang Dai went directly to Yao Shi's room, saw that Yao Shi's face on the bed was not right, and when she got closer, she was dead. Grey, Tang Dai panicked in her heart, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to check Yao Shi's breath, she was already out of breath, and took Yao Shi's hand again, her pulse stopped beating.

"Senior sister... mother, isn't it?..." Li Jing who was on the side looked at her senior sister's movements. How could she not understand as a medical student, tears fell down, but she still asked Tang Dai, saving her last hope.

"Jing'er, your mother is gone. I'm sorry... Senior Sister couldn't help you." Tang Dai looked at Li Jing with regret.

"Wow... Mother... Mother... Don't die, stay with Jing'er, don't want Jing'er, Jing'er listens to you, Jing'er won't bother you anymore... Woo, woo... Mom! "

Li Jing lay on Yao Shi's body, shaking her, crying loudly, begging her mother not to leave her, but Yao Shi couldn't hear her, and just left without a sound, without leaving a word. To Li Jing, and did not entrust anyone to take care of Li Jing.She died, which was a relief for her who had entered a dead end!But what about the living Li Jing?If Li Jing didn't have Tang Dai as a senior sister, she would be a real orphan.

When Li Jing cried enough and became hoarse, Tang Dai gently hugged her and comforted her, saying that she, the senior sister, would take care of her in the future, so that she would not have any worries and worries in her heart.Tang Dai was worried that Li Jing would lose her parents because of this short period of time, and would become unbalanced and extreme.

"Sister Dai Dai, I have neither father nor mother... I will be alone in the future, I am so scared!" Li Jing finally calmed down, and looked at Tang Dai with eyes red and swollen from crying.

"Jing'er, don't be afraid, you are not alone, you have Senior Sister, me, and third brother! Let's go, Senior Sister will accompany you to the clan and let them help with your mother's funeral."

Tang Dai brought Li Jing to the village, told Li Langzhong's closest relatives, and told them that Mrs. Yao was dead, and asked them to help with the funeral. Don't worry about the money, she will pay for it. The hesitant clansmen listened After hearing her words, she agreed.

Because Yao Shi died this time, it was not like when Li Langzhong passed away. At least Yao Shi was at home at that time, and they didn’t need to accompany them for kung fu and money. Now that Yao Shi died, Li Jing was left as an orphan. If they were going to do the funeral, they would have to work hard and post money, so they hesitated.

Tang Dai saw through their thoughts, so she said that she would pay the money, so that the younger junior sister would not feel it, and would be even more sad if they had tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Tang Dai personally helped Yao's funeral. According to the day chosen by Mr. Village, she stayed at home for three days. Tang Dai also invited monks to perform a funeral for her. The coffin, cemetery, and shroud were all It was an emergency that paid more money to complete the purchase. Although it is not as grand as Li Langzhong, it can be regarded as a life from beginning to end. Someone has taken care of her and done things.

After sending Yao family to the cemetery for burial, in order to prevent Li Jing from living alone in the courtyard and feeling lonely and afraid, and missing her parents when seeing things, Tang Dai let Li Jing move into the house and cleared out the room next to her on the third floor, so that She lived there, and told the servants in the family that Li Jing would be her own younger sister in the future, and asked them to treat her as a young lady.

They also paid money to hire someone to move Li Langzhong's pharmacy into the small living room at home, and arranged the small living room as a pharmacy. In the future, the villagers will come to her house when they need to see a doctor and get medicine. Seeing a doctor, she only came forward when there was a problem.

The valuables of Li Jing's family were also moved to Li Jing's room, and then General Tong locked the door of her house with a big lock. Li Jing's happy childhood and the happy days of the Wenxin family were completely wiped out by this big lock. locked in the past, and never had a chance with Xiao Lijing again.

Li Jing, who has gone through two major accidents of death and separation, has become quieter, showing a calmness that does not match her age. Tang Dai sees it in her eyes and hurts her heart, but she can't do anything. She is not omnipotent. The trauma of life and death , can only be healed slowly by time.

When Li looked at Li Jing who often sat in a daze in the small hall, her heart ached very much, and there was nothing she could do, so she had to cook her favorite food from time to time, and occasionally tease her with some jokes.Sanwazi went to the academy and is not at home. It would be great if Sanwazi was here. Li Jing, who likes to follow Sanwazi and call him Sange, might be in a better mood.

Tomorrow, I have to ask the little girl to write a letter to Sanwazi, telling him that Muxiu will go home to accompany Jinger in the first half of this year, and stop running outside.

After finishing Li Jing's business, Tang Dai plunged into the hot pepper business.She figured it out, it would be enough for every town in the county to build a chili workshop, and if the time was too busy, it would be enough to bring the chili peppers back to the five nearby workshops in Taiping Town for processing.So, after training the pepper-growing technicians, she, Tang Dagui and He Zhuzi took the pepper-growing experts from several villages with them, and each of these technicians also brought a group, and shuttled around the villages in Chang'an County, Teach them seedling raising techniques hand in hand, and explain to them the key points of pepper planting.

In late February, the pepper seedlings in the entire Chang'an County were finally grown, and the villages that had grown early began to sprout.Tang Dai asked He Zhuzi and Tang Dagui to be in charge of this area, and she took Xiaoqing to various towns, choosing to build the foundation of the workshop in the town, and at the same time sent a letter to the third uncle, asking him to help her find more As a construction team, she had to ensure that all the chili workshops had been completed when the peppers were bearing fruit, and all kinds of equipment were fully equipped, and the workers in the workshops had to be recruited and trained well.

There are more than a dozen big towns in the whole county, which is enough for her to keep busy.Fortunately, she thought about it from the beginning. From the village, to the town, and then to the whole county, the front personnel have been trained, and now they can start working after pulling them up. She also has experience.It's just that she has to prepare to recruit a chili sales team, just like in modern times, to form a business sales department.

In March, in order to choose the address of the workshop, when dealing with the mayors of various towns, some were easy to speak and went smoothly, and some communicated repeatedly, and there were frequent stumbling blocks, and some even used the magistrate Wang in the end Only when he came forward did he press down.

Sometimes Tang Dai endured, endured, she was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, and when she returned home she had a bad face. Li Shi knew that her work was not going well again, so she felt sorry for her and told her not to work so hard. The days are good now, don't fight like that.

But in Tang Dai's character, she was born with a character of not admitting defeat. The more difficult it is, the more she wants to do it. When Chang'an County becomes a big pepper county, it will not only benefit her family, but the whole county. farmers.

I didn't see those refugees who wandered around because of the snow disaster. They were so pitiful. They were dragging their families, their stomachs were not full, their clothes were not warm, and they had nowhere to go.What's more, just like Xiaowu and the others she took in, their families were broken, their wives were separated, and they had no father or mother. How pitiful.

Chang'an County has become richer, even if there is a disaster year in the future, the common people will have money on their bodies and they will not be afraid.Tang Dai calmed down thinking that she was doing a good deed, and it was nothing to be made things difficult or angry.

At the end of March, the foundations of the workshops in all the towns in the county were finally bought, and the county magistrate of the land deed king quickly helped Tang Dai get it done. Tang Dai heaved a sigh of relief after getting the land deed, and finally felt relieved.Next, the construction team invited by the third uncle for her also went to various towns to start construction and build workshops.

Tang Dai herself started recruiting business people throughout the county, and stopped by the county to see how the eight little guys are doing now.As soon as Tang Dai walked into the courtyard, the little ones who were resting surrounded them and called out excitedly, "Miss Sister". Tang Dai glanced at the eight of them, and found that the little ones had grown stronger in the past three months. It looked much better than before. The older ones all jumped up, nodded with satisfaction, and greeted them with a smile.

Xiaobai saw that the eight people were all Miss Sisters, so he told them not to call them Miss Sisters anymore, but to call them Miss.

"Master, why are you called Miss? She is Miss Sister." Xiao Wu is a smart ghost, his face has grown fat in three months, and his big eyes are even more energetic, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Bai.

"Because..." Xiao Bai was about to explain, but was interrupted by Tang Dai.

"Xiaobai, forget it, don't tell them these rules. They are still young and have no parents. It's very pitiful. I'm not the kind of person who sticks to rules. They can call them whatever they like, and wait for them to grow up. I will understand."

"Yes, Miss." Xiaobai agreed.

Xiao Wuze looked at the two of them with bony eyes, glanced at Xiaobai, then at Tang Dai, when he heard the master call his young ladies all young ladies, his face became a little dazed, but he recovered after a while, looking up Look at Xiaobai.

"Master, we will call you Miss, and we will call you Miss when we grow up, okay? It was Miss who saved us, and she is our Miss."

"Okay, you can call her whatever you want, she is your little sister." Xiao Bai also said with a smile.

Xiao Wu saw that the normally unsmiling master actually laughed, and became more courageous, pulling Tang Dai's sleeves to show off to her.

"Miss sister, the master has been teaching us martial arts, now we can punch!"

"Really? Then Xiao Wu, do you want to show me the practice?"

"Miss sister, we can do it too, and we also want to practice for you..." The children chattered.

"Okay, okay, you all show me what you know!"

In an instant, this place became a martial arts arena, some with swords, some with whips... It seems that Xiaobai teaches students according to their aptitude, and everyone's weapons are different.And Xiao Liu, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Ba are obviously better than others. All three of them use soft swords, and they have already begun to teach lightness kung fu. Seeing that the light kung fu of the three villains can fly up a three-meter-high tree She was so surprised that Tang Dai was tongue-tied and her old face was about to turn red. This speed is much better than her back then!Even now, she can't fly very far, no wonder the old man called her a stupid girl!

"Wow——you are all so good, you all practiced well, and you will continue to learn from the master in the future. Today, sister, I am going to the county to do business, and I don't have much time to talk with you. Next time I come, I will cook the most delicious meal for you. I will reward you." Tang Dai clapped her hands to encourage them, and when the eight of them heard this, they all smiled with joy, and Xiao Wu was terrified.

After seeing the children, Tang Dai took Xiaoqing out of the yard, wanting to visit her second sister Tang Hua again, but didn't want to run into an acquaintance, Yan Ping, right after leaving the hospital.

"Miss Tang, long time no see, I didn't expect to meet you here. Miss Tang lives here?"

"Mr. Yan, long time no see. I don't live here. This is a relative's house. I have something to visit. Mr. Yan, I'm sorry, you are very happy to get married. I am too busy to congratulate you in person."

It turned out that because Tang Dai was too busy in February, she asked Xiaoqing to send the congratulatory gift to the county magistrate's mansion in advance. On the day of Wang Xue's wedding, she just asked Xiaoqing to fill the box.I felt very sorry, and Wang Xue didn't live in the county magistrate's mansion now, so I didn't have a chance to see her, so I apologized in person. She didn't know where Yan's house was.

"Miss Tang, you don't have to feel sorry, Xue'er has already told me. Xue'er is at home today, and if it is convenient for Miss Tang, she can sit at the mansion for a while. My Yan's mansion is not far from here. But Miss Tang is too busy to Please move! Haha..." Yan Ping thought of retreating as an advance.

"This...well, I just want to go see Sister Xue too." Sure enough, Tang Dai, who wanted to shrug off her own business, had to give him face and agreed after hearing what Yan Ping said.

"Miss Tang, please!" Yan Ping made a gesture of invitation, put down the curtain of the carriage, and led the way.

Tang Dai also asked Xiaoqing to drive the carriage, and followed Yan Ping's carriage.

After driving for about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a gorgeous and majestic mansion. Tang Dai lifted the curtain of the horse and looked up. On the door was written "Yan Mansion" with two dragons and phoenixes dancing around. Big characters, I know that Yan Ping's family has arrived.

Sure enough, a person from the doorman came out and opened the door of the mansion. After Yan Ping's carriage entered, Tang Dai's carriage also entered without encountering any obstacles.

After entering the mansion, the carriage stopped, Yan Ping got out of the carriage, came to Tang Dai's carriage, and asked Tang Dai to get off the carriage, Tang Dai went out of the carriage door, Xiaoqing was behind, and was about to jump off by herself, but Yan Ping didn't want to But she stretched out her hand, and signaled Tang Dai to get off the carriage with the help of his hand. Tang Dai hesitated for a second, and without touching his face, she extended her hand to him, and with the strength of his hand, lightly jumped off the carriage.

"Miss Tang has a light body, has she practiced martial arts?" Yan Ping looked at Tang Dai's dexterous figure, raised his eyebrows and asked, and reluctantly let go of Tang Dai's hand, which was slippery and weak Being boneless made him feel a little strange in his heart.

"I have practiced with my teacher for a few days. It's nothing. It's just for strengthening my body. My master knows that I am a farmer and I also study medicine. It is normal to practice a little bit." Tang Dai replied politely.

"That's right, come on, you two just follow me. Miss Tang is so versatile, I wonder what else Miss Tang can do? I really admire Yan Ping." Yan Ping walked in front to lead the way for the two, seemingly unintentionally, asked Tang Dai said a word.

"My lady knows a lot, tea art, chess, calligraphy and painting..." After hearing Yan Ping's praise of Tang Dai, Xiaoqing was also very happy when others praised her lady, and because of the tailoring shop, Yan Ping also felt sorry for her. He liked her, so he accepted it undefended, and praised Tang Dai as well.

"Heh... I'm not as good as Mr. Yan said. It's just that the children of the poor have already been in charge of the family. Let's learn a few more things. Xiaoqing, why are you bragging about me with you, my half? Bucket of water, it's not like you don't know." Tang Dai said modestly, and then reprimanded Xiaoqing.

"Heh...Miss Tang is really humble. We are here, Xue'er will be very happy to see you." Yan Ping pointed to a row of main courtyards. From a distance, the small courtyards are not big, but they are well-located , Hidden among green trees, flowers and bamboos, it is very elegant.

"Mr. Yan's house is worthy of being a scholarly home. The buildings in your house make people look and feel comfortable. They are low-key but not vulgar, majestic but gentle, and elegant among the flowers."

"Heh... miss Tang, thank you, thank you!" Yan Ping didn't expect Tang Dai to have such a good impression of his family, and gave such a high evaluation. He was surprised and hurriedly said something modest.

"It's not a compliment. This approach makes me feel that the trees are flourishing and the grass is lush. I can't help but imagine that I have such a small courtyard, sitting under the flowers, smelling the fragrance of flowers, watching the flowers fall, and ignoring the flowers. In the mortal world, you only care about the countryside, enjoy the tranquility for a lifetime, and go through the years of the world, this life is enough. The ancestor of Mr. Yan's family who designed this small courtyard must be a master who has acquired Zen."

"Miss Tang, you make Yan Ping so ashamed. I was born here, but I have never felt the intentions of my ancestors. When you said this, I watched it calmly and felt that it was true."

After listening to Tang Dai's description, Yan Ping focused his attention on watching, and suddenly felt ashamed. He always complained that the yard was narrow and not grand enough, but he didn't expect that this little girl could see it at a glance when she entered the mansion. The intention of the ancestors.

Among their ancestors, there was indeed an ancestor who was a high-ranking official in the court. This courtyard was built by him after he resigned from office and ordered people to build it according to his ideas. Even if you are in business or farming, you must not forget that the first priority is to spend more time with scholars.

Yan Ping respected Tang Dai in his heart, and when he was moved, he became more and more moved, regretting that he was engaged and married early, and now he is not even qualified to express his feelings.

"Miss Tang, we're here."

Yan Ping took Tang Dai into a main courtyard. In the main courtyard there were still festive red lanterns. The windows and doors were pasted with red characters of Double Happiness. It seems that for the first time, these bright reds are a bit dazzling.
