The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 446 Mr. Has a Guest (1)
Zhou Boyan didn't have time to scold Gu Shitou for being troublesome, "Ashu, don't be like this." He couldn't just think about himself, the guards followed him around, and they were equally exhausted.If he delays sleeping for half an hour, everyone will work even harder when catching up with the big troops, and everyone will be overwhelmed.

At this time, Qingyang called his brother and was running over in a hurry.

Seeing Qingshu, she let go of Zhou Boyan's sleeve, "Xiaoyang, run quickly." When Qingyang approached, she ordered, "Brother has something important to do, so don't delay it. Sister has arranged a carriage, and you can use the carriage." Send brother off for a ride. Remember, you have to stare at brother and sleep for half an hour, you know?"

Qingyang looked up at Zhou Boyan, and answered, "I remember."

"Be sure to let brother sleep for half an hour, and then you can come back." Qing Shu instructed again.

Qingyang said he knew.

Qingshu asked Luo San and two Yingwei to follow and protect Qingyang.

Gu Steward was more thoughtful than Qing Shu, suggesting that it is better to send two more carriages so that Zhou Boyan's guards could rest for half an hour.

Zhou Boyan smiled helplessly, so Ren Qingshu had to go around busy making arrangements for a while.Then, Qingyang pulled him by the sleeves and got into the carriage.

Qingshu took the bag from Xiaojuan's hand and put it in the carriage, "This is dried meat and snacks, eat on the road." After that, without waiting for Zhou Boyan to speak, he closed the door of the car himself and gave the order to set off.

Three carriages set off, and the horses of Zhou Boyan and Jinyi's guards were separately tied to the left, right or behind of the three carriages.At the front of the carriage was Luo San who rode his horse to open the way.At the end of the carriage are two eagle guards following on horseback.

After sending the person away, Qing Shu didn't care to do anything, went back to her room, waited for the news, and thought: He is going to the border, hope everything is well, and he can return safely.

An hour later, Qing Yang, who had sent him off, came back, and ran to see Qing Shu as soon as he came back.

Hearing the movement, Qing Shu came out to welcome her, "Xiao Yang, you are back."

Qingyang followed his sister into the house, and then reported, "Sister, my brother was disobedient at first, always talking to Xiaoyang, and refused to sleep. Xiaoyang pretended to be angry and said that he would come back to complain to his sister, so his brother became obedient and fell asleep for a while. an hour."

"Xiaoyang did a good job. Are you hungry? There are hot meals and dishes left in the kitchen, so let someone bring them here."

Qingyang said yes, and then said something else, "Sister, brother said that he ordered four carts of fruit seedlings from a friend. In another half a month, someone will deliver the four carts of fruit seedlings."

Qingshu felt pleasantly surprised, "Really? What kind of fruit saplings are they ordered?"

"My brother said that there are apple trees, pear trees, apricot trees, peach trees, and a persimmon tree. Sister, what does the persimmon tree look like? Are the fruits delicious?"

Qing Shu was happy, "My sister doesn't know what the persimmon tree looks like, I just saw the name in a book."

Qingyang said he wanted to ask Mr. Lu, and got up to leave.Qingshu stopped him and asked him to ask after dinner, not in a hurry.

After a few days, the butler Gu who was sent to the wasteland to find out the situation came back with a happy face.

"Housekeeper, is everything going well in the wasteland? What makes you so happy?" Qing Shu asked standing in the front yard.

Gu Butler said that everything went well there, and then reported them one by one.

Manager Zhang has already rented a farmyard in Sunjia Village.Because the rented yard is Lizheng's yard in the village, so it has a large space, not to mention three cars and horses can be parked in the yard, and Lizheng also promised to build a grass shed to feed livestock in the yard within three days.Besides the houses, there are three main rooms in the courtyard, three rooms in the east wing, two rooms in the west wing, a kitchen, and a thatched hut for firewood.The renter agreed to pay on a monthly basis, and the money was paid every month.At the same time, it was also agreed that the firewood used would come from the house, and there would be no extra money.

On Master Liu's side, the forty thatched cottages will be completed tomorrow.Master Liu did not cut corners, and the thatch was used well, so it would not leak so easily in the rainy season.

Besides, the working beggars, who have had enough food for a few days, are in good spirits.In addition, let everyone take a bath, let everyone drink boiled herbs, and distribute coarse clothes and new shoes and socks for them to wear, which made their whole change.

What made Gu Steward the happiest was not the above-mentioned things, but the matter of burning wasteland.Qingshu has been worrying about how to burn the wasteland so as not to hurt the acres of jujube trees mixed in the withered grass, but has never come up with a good solution.

However, the [-] beggars led by Guanshi Zhang found a good way by themselves and completed nearly one-third of the burning.The specific method is that they first go into the wasteland, find bushes or tree stumps, then dig out the roots, bring them back to the thatched hut and pile them up, saying that they will be used as firewood when they are dried.At the same time, when they were looking for shrubs or tree stumps, if they found small saplings, no matter whether they were fruit saplings or not, they would cut down all the dead grass around ten meters or so around the found saplings.The jujube saplings that Qingshu marked out when he took people there last time, they also went around and expanded the range to cut down the withered grass.

There is a beggar leader sitting in the town, and there is a steward Zhang to supervise. The hundred people who opened up the wasteland did not work together.They were divided into twenty groups of five.Not only that, but they also work in pieces.

Every day, each group is allocated a large area of ​​equal size.They first dug out the roots of the tree, separated the saplings by the way, cleaned up the surroundings of the saplings, and then set fire to burn the weeds in this area.Fire is a dangerous thing, and there are many things to pay attention to when burning wasteland, so everyone is watching carefully to control the fire within a safe range, and dare not leave people until there is no spark left.

In this way, the barren was burned and the saplings were preserved.After the matter of burning wasteland was resolved, Qingshu's heart disease disappeared together.

On the fifth day of March, tree pits began to be dug in the wasteland.

As for the ancient mansion, Mr. Lu's visitor came, a man named Song Xian who was about forty years old, and his two sons Song Teng and Song Da.

Song Xian was dressed in commoner clothes, with dark complexion, medium height, slightly fat, and a cold complexion, which gave people a feeling that he was not easy to get close to.It is said that he and his wife raised three sons and one daughter.

Let alone his two sons.Song Teng, the eldest son of the family, was 23 years old, his complexion was also slightly dark, and his appearance followed his father's. Although his complexion was not as cold as his own father's, he was also a quiet one.I heard that he is married and the father of two children.Song Da, the second son in the family, is 19 years old and has a more cheerful personality. His skin color is lighter than his father's, but his appearance also follows his father's.I heard that he just got married a few years ago, and his wife is more than a month pregnant, and she will be a father in eight or nine months.

Since the father and son were Mr. Lu's visitors, Qing Shu didn't dare to be negligent, and asked the kitchen to send some meat and vegetables to Mr. Lu's yard, and sent Xiaojuan to help Mrs. Lu.
