Chapter 43 Soft Beans

During these few days living in Zhuangzi, Qiu Yunwei has always encouraged Nie Zheyu to play more with the children in the village. Xiaodouding is not talkative and small. In fact, he is easy to be bullied, but not here. There are bribes for snacks and toys, and they are happy to take the little child to play.

Qiu Yunwei asked her to follow far away, so she didn't want to join the children.

However, this little doll is still shy, and often prefers to follow her instead of playing with the children.

Qiu Yunwei smiled and nodded Xiaodouding's nose, "I love to follow my mother when I'm just this old, and in a few years, I'll have to flutter out like a bird, I want to hold you for more parties. I will not be happy."

Xiaodouding took Qiu Yunwei's small hand and let it go, striding forward vigorously with small steps, and pursing his lips. Who would love to follow you? It's just that I don't want to play in the mud with those little kids.

"So we have to cherish our little doll when he was so young."

"Wawa likes to follow my mother, mother is happy."

Xiao Douding's ears moved, and the corners of her mouth rose a little, and her white teeth were also exposed a little.

Qiu Yunwei went to the field to see the crops, she pulled some grass, pinched the cotton flower tip, and chatted with the farmers in the field.

When Emperor Qian looked at him, why didn't he think that Mrs. Qiu Yunwei, the Hou Mansion, was different from that of other families, and that the daughter of Qiu Xueshi's sour Confucian scholar's family looked like this?

It is not the same as other women, embroidering, playing the piano, or singing poetry. In fact, it is quite suitable for such a woman to marry into a family with few rules such as a military commander in the Hou Mansion.

"Xiao Yu'er, these are edible, go back to make them for you." Qiu Yunwei singled out a few wild vegetables and put them aside.

A working woman next to her said: "It's edible, but it's bitter and astringent. It's not delicious. My girl doesn't like it at all."

Isn't this not speechless? As soon as the nobleman said that he wanted to try something new, you came to disappoint. Another aunt hurriedly said, "That's because we didn't do well. My mother-in-law used sesame oil to mix the thorn grass once, and it was delicious."

But the upright woman said: "How expensive is sesame oil? Isn't it a waste to go with this wild vegetable? If I eat sesame oil, do I need to eat wild vegetable?"

This person is really true. The aunt felt that the old Liang's wife's mouth could not be saved, so she looked carefully towards Qiu Yunwei.

Qiu Yunwei was not angry, but asked: "Is the crops in the field not enough to eat?"

Aunt Zhang said: "This year the rain has been good and the harvest has been good. The rent collected by our Zhuangzi Hou Ye has always been kind. Now that the grain has just come down, the food is enough to eat. Isn't the farmers accustomed to storing grain? If you can eat more food, you can throw less food."

"I was also frightened by the disaster years of the previous two years. At that time, these wild vegetables were not found. The farmers depended on the sky for food. There were good years and bad times. Even if the years were good, they were used to saving money. Understand."

The Emperor Gan, who was listening to the side, felt a little heavy. No matter how great the emperor is, there is no way for you to take the heavens. Especially after becoming the emperor, it is either drought here or flooding there. The world is big, always When there is no stopping.

In particular, the drought in the previous life was so extensive and lasting for a long time that there was nothing to do, and it dragged down several percent of the national power.

And let the people of the world not suffer from hunger is also an achievement that no emperor can achieve.

There was no other way, and Emperor Qian didn't let himself down for too long. He would be a good emperor if he could manage the officials and be clear.

Emperor Gan put the matter down, but found that many farming books were being sent in continuously in the yard. Qiu Yunwei was not only reading, but also making records, and she and the farmers in this village were getting more and more. Talk more about farming.

Xiaodouding raised her hands up high to reach the desktop. She couldn't see what Qiu Yunwei was writing, and regardless of his reserved person setting, she asked, "What is your mother doing?"

"Read and write."

Xiao Dou Ding was not satisfied with this answer, but fortunately, Qiu Yunwei always talked a lot to him, and she loved to lead this non-talking Xiao Dou Ding to speak more.

Qiu Yunwei hugged Xiao Douding and sat on her lap, "Now this is the book my mother read, and the words written by my mother, do you want to learn?"

Xiao Douding, who was hugged to his lap, was very uncomfortable. If he didn't want to take a look at what Qiu Yunwei has been busy with these days, he would have been struggling. Now he is stiff and afraid to move, so he looks at the table. go.

"There are crops of rice, wheat, millet..."

"For rice, 2 stones per mu is the top, 1 stone and three buckets are the middle, and the bucket is the bottom..."

"Cotton, planted in spring and harvested in autumn..."

Although Emperor Qian was busy fighting intrigue and controlling the court all day, he still knew about these basic farming matters, even if they had only a shallow written understanding.

It's just that he doesn't know what Qiu Yunwei is doing these days?

But Qiu Yunwei happened to say, touching Xiaodouding's head, her voice was a little low, and a little erratic, "Mother wants to do something for them." Such hardworking people always worry about being hungry and work all year round. But still can't eat enough, it looks uncomfortable.

Qiu Yunwei didn't seem to be talking to the little doll in her arms, but more like talking to herself, but the emperor with a small beanie shell could perceive people's hearts better than anyone else, only from this vague sentence. I understood what Qiu Yunwei meant.

He turned his head and looked at Qiu Yunwei, who looked serious, and was shocked in his heart. He didn't feel funny at this moment when he was innocent for this woman.

Although it is really naive.

What can a boudoir girl read a few books for? No one of the scholars in the world has ever had such thoughts, and maybe they have, but they definitely haven't done it.

Qiu Yunwei seemed to finish that sentence with emotion, and then quickly talked about other things. She removed her serious expression, and instead smiled and coaxed Xiaodouding: "Mother teaches you how to read and play? Xiao Yuer can read and understand books. What is written in it."

Even though he said that, he didn't really want to teach the little doll to read and write. He was just a little over three years old.

But like counting, painting and painting is fine.

No matter what Qiu Yunwei is going to do, the little Dou Ding who was held in her arms is about to come down now. Qiu Yunwei weighed him down before putting it down, "We Xiao Yu'er has become heavier, and my mother's legs are sore."

Xiaodouding's cheeks bulged a little bit, although it is not obvious, it is also unhappy to bulge out, you insisted to hug me!

But soon I heard Qiu Yunwei's words again, "At last it was not in vain during this period of time, but it was still not fat enough. Children need to be meaty to look good."

Of course, but it's not to grow meaty, but he has to grow taller quickly, it's not uncomfortable for people to look up at people with their legs high every day.

Qiu Yunwei still spent the next few days in reading records. Well, she also used small things like jujubes to teach her to count, and she used charcoal to paint and draw with her, often with big hands of two people. The little hands are all black.

After finishing the painting of a simple kitten, Qiu Yunwei looked from left to right and felt that Xiaodouding had more charm than her paintings. She was pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Yuer, you are very talented in painting."

It's not talented, a gentleman spends more time than others in all aspects of the Six Arts, and it will be hard for him to get ahead.

"It's better than Niang. Come, reward one." Qiu Yunwei squatted down and rewarded her next kiss on Xiao Douding's forehead. Now the little doll is getting more and more lively, and she is getting closer and closer to her. Qiu Yunwei didn't dare to do this at the beginning, for fear of scaring this somewhat autistic child, but now she dares.

However, Qiu Yunwei was wrong. She was doing this now, and it scared Xiao Dou Ding. She almost frightened Xiao Dou Ding so much!

If he were a cat, he must have exploded into a furball now, meowing and jumping out far away.

How, how can this be!

Xiaodouding's eyes were round and round, and his face was flushed.

No mother and concubine can do this, and other princes and princesses have never had such an experience!

Are people outside the palace like this? !

Xiaodouding was dizzy with Qiu Yunwei's surprise attack.

The little hand touched his forehead in a daze, and then suddenly put it down as if being stung, until Qiu Yunwei was stuffed with a piece of apple meat, he still didn't recover.

The little head didn't dare to move, the warm feeling seemed to stay on his forehead, making him still stiff above his neck.

Qiu Yunwei nodded on Nie Zheyu doll's little nose, "Why are you still stupid?"

Xiaodou Ding began to bite the sweet apples stuffed in his mouth, and there was a pile of words in his throat. It is not right to mess with relatives. Madam Hou must be elegant and dignified, and it's all right here at home. It's definitely not the case when you go outside.

The sour scholar Qiu Qizheng liked to babble in the court. He remembered that this man was because of his staid and powerful. His father bothered him so much that he was a man of imperial histories. Later, he seemed to be demoted. He doesn't remember where he was demoted.

You said such a sour scholar, how did he teach his daughter? Isn't that guy a swindler who is rigid and harsh on people outside and drunk shirtlessly at home, right?

Xiaodouding thought a lot at once.

Qiu Yunwei looked at Xiaodou Ding chewing the apple meat, her cheeks moved, her smile couldn't be said.

Xiaodouding was inexplicable for her appearance.

Lu'er girl still couldn't stand it, smiled and said, "Madam, you are bullying the little master again."

Xiaodouding:? ?

Then he saw the black mark on his cheek in the mirror.

!

This is the first time in the memory of Emperor Qian's past and this life that his image has been damaged and the first time he has been teased.

His eyes are round again!

Qiu Yunwei wiped Xiaodouding's face with a wet veil dipped in hot water, and coaxed the child with her mouth: "It's all our Xiaoyuer who is too cute, even more cute than our family's meow, so I couldn't help it for a while.

Xiaodouding is not uncommon for Qiu Yunwei to praise him for being cute, but of course he is much cuter than the smelly cat at home!

Little Douding, who was rubbing his face, didn't notice. He was easily coaxed again. This is not like him with a bad temper. If you know how many courtiers have to be cautious and trembling against him.

Moreover, he was so "tricked" by others, and he didn't even feel angry this time.

Unknowingly, it has become a very nice, easy-to-handle jelly bean.

Qiu Yunwei carefully put away the Xiaodouding painting, because it was painted with charcoal, it was easy to paint into a ball, and when it was stored, he would be cautious and cherish it.

Seeing Qiu Yunwei's cherishing action, Xiao Douding's lips raised. This is nothing, his painting of eight horses is considered good.

If you let Qiu Yunwei see you in the future, don't you know how to be more happy?

The time they lived in Zhuangzi was not too short this time. Later, they changed into ordinary people's clothes and went to a nearby village for a walk and took a look.

Emperor Qian seldom saw this in his previous life. When he went out to watch it, others wanted him to see it, and what others wanted him to listen to.

This time I came out with Qiu Yunwei, but I saw a lot of truth. Some people were satisfied to say that there are two pigs at home, and they are fed chickens and ducks. They can eat meat at the end of the year. Usually they are willing to eat scrambled eggs every three to five. I heard people say with a sad face that the man in the family was sick, and I saw that the kid was as thin as a little monkey.

The child was hungry and malnourished. Qiu Yunwei was later given some grain and some money, but she could only help her see those few, and she couldn't help more.

She didn't have many ambitions, but what she said that day she wanted to do something for them was also true, and wanted to do something for the people who lived in this dynasty.

It's just that what I want to do can't be accomplished overnight. I have lived in Zhuangzi long enough, and the weather is getting colder, and Qiu Yunwei is going back to the Hou Mansion with Xiao Yu'er.

When she left, there were still a bunch of small radish heads to give away. Qiu Yunwei pushed Xiaodouding, Xiaodouding dragged the little bag over and took out the little ju balls, bamboo dragonflies, and rag dolls to the children.

"For you guys."

Those children were reluctant, "When will Xiao Yu come back?"

"Will you come during the New Year? My father will buy firecrackers during the New Year. I will take you to set off firecrackers."

"When the time comes, our family will still make candied haws. My father made them delicious. I'll show them to you."

...

These children are also very simple. They have taken the toy of Xiaodouding, and often eat the delicious ones here, so they want to exchange them.

Qiu Yunwei thinks it's pretty good to bring Xiaodouding to Zhuangzi to play.

Holding Xiaodouding's hand and waved these little radishes, they were leaving, Qiu Yunwei smiled on the carriage and said, "I can't bear it? We will come again later."

Xiao Douding rolled his eyes, a group of mud monkeys, how old he is, how could he be reluctant?

However, how could Emperor Qian not see Qiu Yunwei's thoughts of bringing him to playmates?

People who grew up in a palace like them are the most sensitive to people and can see through even a little bit of misuse. Naturally, this kind of pure care and care will not fail to be seen, but it makes people feel at a loss.

As soon as Qiu Yunwei entered the mansion, Steward Liu greeted her, and everything was fine in the mansion these days. In fact, nothing would be bad. If there is not even a master in the mansion, what big things can happen?

"The big young man from the northwest sent someone some leather mattresses and some medicinal materials from the northwest."

"Oh, everything is all right over there, brother?"

"Okay, it's all good, the eldest son will be back during the New Year's Day."

"Huh?" Qiu Yunwei's footsteps paused slightly, but also, this eldest son hasn't come back for two or three years. This is still from the Hou Mansion.

Steward Liu said: "Come back to report on your duties and meet your Majesty in person."

"Well, you clean up the big brother's residence in advance. You need to replace it, and add to it."

Qiu Yunwei and Xiaodouding returned to their yard. The little dog still knew them and greeted them with a wagging tail. As for the ducks, the yellowish little ducks are really much bigger and not as good as they used to be.

After washing his face and sitting down, the dogs and cats gathered around, "Xiao Yu'er has gone home. This is also our family remember?"

"This is Wang Wang, this is Meow Meow, remember them?"

Remember, why don't you remember, Xiao Douding pulled the dog aside with his feet, and then took the cat comfortably in Qiu Yunwei's arms, and he squeezed in by himself.

Of course he is much cuter than shed dogs and cats.
