The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 538 On the Road (1)
People have to eat, and cattle naturally also have to eat grass.While Laolimen was resting, the few people who stayed on the wasteland in charge of cooking and doing chores drank the cattle in a hurry, and then took fodder and poured it into the trough to feed the cattle.

The rest time was over, and Manager Wu yelled that it was time to go to the field.The laborers got up one after another and went to work on the fertile field together.

Qingshu watched everyone get off the ground and headed back home.When passing by Xiaogujia Village, he met Gu Zheda who was driving a ox cart to enter the village.

Gu Zhe shouted to Steward Ding, who was accompanying him, and said with a smile, "Your Zhuangzi borrowed an ox cart to my family, and my family's land harvest this year is very fast. No, if you bring another cart of corn back, the grain in the field will be harvested." It’s neat.” Where do ordinary farmers get their ox carts? In previous years, when they harvested grain, they carried it back home bit by bit with baskets, or carried loads home bit by bit.This year, thanks to the loan of the oxcart from the Gufu, they don't need to carry food back home, and save a little bit of labor to carry home.

Guanshi Ding patted him on the shoulder twice, "Your father has a few of your brothers working hard, so you don't have to worry about the autumn harvest."

"That's what my grandfather said. By the way, since I have met Guan Ding, I don't have to go to Zhuangzi to ask."

Steward Ding was surprised, "What are you asking?"

"My father said that tomorrow he will bring some of our brothers to help. However, I don't know if you are harvesting grain from the village, or from the wasteland. My father originally asked me to go to your village to ask about it later. , since I met Guan Ding, there is no need for me to make a special trip."

"I am determined. Almost all the grain on Zhuangzi has been harvested, and now everyone is breaking corn sticks in the wasteland."

"Sure, tomorrow morning we will go to the wasteland to help."

After that, Gu Zhe drove the ox cart into the village, while Ding Guanshi went to chase the team that had gone a certain distance.

When he reported to Qingshu that Gu Dashu and his son were going to help in the wasteland, Qingshu nodded with joy.Gu Dashu knows how to be a human being and make friends, so it is worthwhile for her to help their family.

In this way, Qingshu was busy with various chores for seven or eight days, and it was the second day of September in a blink of an eye.

In the early morning, the cook Xu Sanniang prepared meals for the masters, while Pozi Guan and Ling Lan prepared meals for the servants.When the master and servant had eaten, Steward Gu had already harnessed the horses and chariots, and even tied the saddled Red General to the back of the carriage Qingshu was riding in.The Red General was called by Qingyang to take him with him.He said that if he got tired of riding in the carriage, he could ride on the Red General to see the scenery.

Qing Shu happily agreed.As a war horse, the Red General was imprisoned in a stable all day long, and at most he was taken out for a walk every day, which really buried his reputation as a war horse.Therefore, taking this opportunity, she wanted the Red General to run away.

Everything that needs to be explained has already been explained, and Qingshu didn't write any more. He took Shen Yuehua and Qingyang into the carriage, and the group embarked on the journey to Beijing.

It can be said that the team on this trip, including all the masters and servants, is quite a number.On the side of the ancient mansion, there are two guards of Du Luo, five eagle guards, two ordinary guards, steward Ding, and four servants.In addition, there are three servant girls from Qingshu, big and small, and the book boys from Qingyang and Hao.

On Luo Xiaorong's side, the guards, stewards, maids and servants were all brought along.

On Chen Qiaojiang's side, similarly, there were guards protecting him, stewards, mother-in-law and others who waited on him.

And Mr. Lu.Because the students traveled far away, he was free.So he decided to take his wife and children back to their ancestral home to visit their parents.

The butler Gu took everyone in the mansion off.It wasn't until the master's chariots and horses were out of sight that he led the people into the mansion with a sad face and closed the door tightly.

When Qingshu and his party left the town, they joined the security guards.The red fruits sent by the ancient mansion to the Yipin Building in Jinyang City this year were specially handed over to the security guards to escort them.Today is the day when the security guard escorts the last red fruit of this year to Yipinlou.

At the beginning of the morning of the second day, Qing Shu and the others arrived at Jinyang City.The two groups of people separated, the security guard escorted several carts of red fruits to Yipinlou for delivery, while Qingshu took people to Chen's Mansion.

Chen Zhifu is in the government office, not in the mansion.Mrs. Chen learned that Qingshu and his party had arrived, and even though she was an elder, she came out to greet her in person.The eldest master and the sixth master are in the mansion, and after receiving the letter, they came to receive Mr. Lu.

Mrs. Chen intends to keep the Qingshu siblings to stay in the mansion for one night.But Qingshu was going to Beijing, the journey was long, and it was important to hurry, how could she just stay for a day after walking a day's journey.As soon as Qing Shu explained, Mrs. Chen also understood.Mrs. Chen ordered the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous farewell banquet.

When Chen Zhifu got the news and returned home, Chen Qiaojiang immediately rushed forward, and his grandpa and grandpa booed and asked for warmth.Chen Zhifu was shocked by his grandson's abnormality.But after all, he has been an official for many years. He has never seen anything in these years, let alone a child's tricks!So, he raised the question and asked, "If you have something to say, don't think that you can bribe grandfather with a few words of ecstasy soup."

The little trick was seen through, Chen Qiaojiang was only disappointed for a moment, and immediately said flatteringly, "Grandfather, Xiaorong is going back to Beijing to visit relatives, Qingyang and Qinghao are going to Beijing with their sister for a wedding, they will be gone for a month. If the grandson doesn’t do it, the grandson will read and play with them every day, and they will not be there, the grandson will be bored, and the grandson will not go in to read. Grandpa and grandson also want to go to the capital.”

After hearing this, Prefect Chen immediately said with a straight face, "No."

Although Chen Qiaojiang was a little afraid of his grandfather's bad face, he thought that not only would he not see Qingyang and the others for a month, but when Qingyang and the others came back, he would be the only one who didn't know what the capital looked like, so he felt extremely depressed.So, he decided to linger to the end, wear it to the end, pretend to be pitiful, and kept begging, "Grandfather, please, grandfather, let grandson go! Please..."

Prefect Chen still said the same thing, no.However, I feel very relieved to see my grandson no longer throwing temper tantrums willfully or being domineering.His grandson is the most beloved great-grandson of his 80-year-old mother.With the love and protection of the old lady, Qiao Jiang has developed a willful, domineering and supercilious personality since childhood.His sixth son wanted to correct Qiao Jiang's temperament, but the old lady refused.He, the grandfather, wanted to correct Qiao Jiang's temperament, but the old lady still refused.

The old lady was coaxed and offered up and down in the mansion, who would dare to go against the old lady?Who dares to annoy the old lady?Therefore, regarding Qiao Jiang's upbringing, he and his sixth son were very worried.Later, when he heard that Mr. Lu was sitting in the ancient mansion and devoted himself to teaching Gu Qingyang to read, he was moved.

Although the old lady is getting old, she sometimes gets confused, but Mr. Lu knows his name, and some things are reasonable.Therefore, when he mentioned that he would send Qiao Jiang to be Mr. Lu's disciple, the old lady nodded despite her reluctance.
