Chapter 474 (1/2)
The sun is hot, the earth is steaming, it's too hot to breathe. Yuxi was lying on the bed, and he was Wan.
White mother brought in a bowl of chicken soup and said to Yuxi, ”madam, this is the six-year old hen bought by the purchasing office. It's been stewed all day.”
It was too hot. When she finished eating a large bowl of chicken soup with meat and soup, her forehead began to sweat. Because the day before yesterday suffered a little cold, the body is not comfortable, afraid of the aggravation of the disease can not use ice, here is very dry, especially hard for Yuxi.
Blue mother looked at Yuxi's appearance and said, ”madam, why don't you go to live in Zhuangzi for two days! Chuang Tzu, it must be cooler than here in Yucheng. ” When I went to Chuang Tzu, I had a good rest for two days. Madam is not very well these two days, and she has to work from early to late. If she goes on like this, she is afraid that her wife will not be able to support her and she will be exhausted.
Yuxi also felt that this period of time was too busy to have a rest. She is not the kind of person who likes to be brave either. She thought for a moment and said, ”OK, I'll tell the general in the evening that I'll go to the villa for a while tomorrow.” With her body, although her hands and feet are a little cold, it's not a big problem. It's better to boil for a few days without taking medicine. But it's too hot and dry here. I can't sleep well at night. It's very uncomfortable. If you go to live in Zhuangzi for a period of time, you should go to the summer resort.
In the evening, Yunqing comes back, his face is very ugly. Blue mother see, see interesting will jujube out, leave husband and wife two people talk.
Yuxi got up and asked, ”what's the matter?”
Yunqing said in a cold voice, ”my fold has been hit again.” The official reply on the discount said that the taxes were still confiscated, and the household department had no money, so they were asked to pay in advance, and the money would be allocated when the taxes were collected. But Yunqing is not stupid. I don't know if it's all excuses.
Speaking of this, Yunqing's face was blacker, and he said, ”Jiangnan's summer harvest this year is very good, but he said he has no money.” Obviously not willing to give.
Yuxi listened and said with a smile, ”don't say Jiangnan has a good summer harvest this year, even if Jiangnan has been in good weather, the household still has no money.” It's strange for the corrupt officials and the extravagant and lecherous people to have money. It's just that Yuxi didn't expect that the imperial court wouldn't spend any money. It would be foolish for such a court to expect it.
”It's August now,” said Yunqing, ”and there's going to be war soon.” The war is good. As long as they stay in the city and don't take the initiative to attack, they are not afraid. But how is this winter. The new soldiers must give out two sets of winter clothes!
Yuxi thought for a moment and said, ”He Rui, ask Mr. Xia about this! I think he might have a way. ” Mr. Xia has been with Marshal Qin for more than 20 years, and he is his confidant. He knows much more than them.
After hearing this, Yunqing said, ”although Mr. Xia hasn't asked to leave now, I'm afraid that he still wants to leave.” With Mr. Xia, he is more relaxed. If Mr. Xia leaves, he will be too busy.
Yuxi said, ”you put him in such an important position, and you are devoted to the general and people of Yucheng. I don't think he will go.” Mr. Xia has lived in Yucheng for more than 20 years. He is estimated to be reluctant to leave here. Otherwise, he will not stay until now.
Yunqing still has this worry.
Yuxi said, ”in fact, we can't rely too much on Mr. Xia. When we have a chance, we should attract more people who can use it.”
After finishing the business, Yuxi told Yunqing about her going to Chuang Tzu: ”it's so sultry these days, I feel bad with my children. Chuang Tzu should be cooler. I want to come back after the heat. Anyway, it's not far. It's only half a day's journey. You'll come and see us when you have time. ' Don't say she, date date these days all thin a circle, originally plump little face all went down.
Yunqing nodded, ”OK.”
Early the next morning, Yuxi took people to the villa. The mountain villa is very big. It's the most famous one in Yucheng. Yuxi walked by and saw a flat road with locust trees planted on both sides.
June to August is the time when Sophora trees bloom. Yuxi looked at the number of Sophora blossoms, smiled and said to her blue mother, ”I will let people pick some Sophora flowers and let my white mother make some Sophora cakes to eat.”
Guo Xun is on crutches and brings perilla to greet Yuxi.
Yu Xi looked at Guo Xun and said with a smile, ”look at you, you know it's good in Chuang Tzu.” Not only the look is good, but also the eyes are full of spirit. It can be seen that we have had a good time here.
Guo Xun smiled and said, ”thanks to my wife for giving me a chance.” Although he didn't know anything at first, he was open-minded to the old peasants. Over the past few months, I have learned a lot, and I feel confident. Now he is very confident in managing this Chuang Tzu.
Zisu's face was full of smiles, and she said, ”madam, let's go into the house! Outside in the sun. ” Finish saying, still stare at Guo Xun. This man is also true. He won't come into the house if he has any words.
Looking at the interaction between the couple, Yuxi smiled and said, ”advanced house!” The sun scorches people.
This Chuang Tzu is called Huaishu Zhuang directly because there are many Huaishu trees planted in the whole Chuang Tzu. There is a locust tree at the door of the house where Yuxi is going to stay.
Yuxi stood in front of the pagoda tree. Looking at the pagoda tree, it was thick and strong. The tree could not be held by one person, so he knew it was old.
”Madam, the old man in this village said that this locust tree has lived for more than 200 years,” Guo explained The two hundred year old Sophora trees are rare.
