"Qing'er!"
After calling her, he led the carriage and came over.
"Have you had lunch?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang said truthfully: "Brother Xu wanted to leave some food, but I refused. I wanted to wait for you to eat together."
Yang Ruoqing said: "Mrs. Zou's hospitality is hard to refuse. I have already eaten at her house."
Luo Fengtang smiled and nodded: "As long as you're full."
Yang Ruoqing said: "But you are still hungry."
"It's okay if I don't eat for one meal. I can go home and have another bowl at night! Come on, get in the car!"
He opened the carriage curtain for her.
She said: "If I don't want to sit inside, I'll sit in front with you and enjoy the scenery."
"That's fine."
He helped her into the car first, then walked around the horse's head and sat next to her.
Then he drove the horse and drove smoothly on the street.
Behind him, in the octagonal pavilion on top of a rockery in the backyard of the county government office.
Zou Lin'er put her hands behind her back and looked at the carriage slowly driving away on the road in front of her.
And the young men and women sitting side by side in front of the carriage, talking and laughing.
The young man's handsome eyebrows slowly knitted together.
There is something very complicated quietly flowing through my eyes...
envious? envy?
Lost? Melancholy?
It's unclear.
Until the carriage turned into the street intersection over there, blended into the traffic and the sea of people, and was nowhere to be found.
The young man just looked away.
The full emotion turned into a silent sigh.
How great would it be if my body was healthy?
Everyone said that he was indifferent to fame and wealth and had no fight with the world.
That's because he knows that with his body and bones, fighting is in vain.
The young man looked back one last time and glanced in the direction where the carriage disappeared.
I just stepped off the pavilion.
…
The sky cleared briefly.
In every household in the village, men are busy going to the fields to clear the ditches and drain water properly.
The women were busy washing and brushing.
Yang Ruoqing was not idle either. After returning from inspecting the restaurants in the town, she made an appointment with Luo Fengtang to go into the mountains together.
This time she came home, she had a plan.
I want to explore the resources in the mountains again.
The hot summer is coming to an end, and when autumn comes, the wild fruits and medicinal materials in the mountains mature one after another.
There are many varieties of these wild fruits and they are abundant in quantity.
In the past, except for the hunters, woodsmen and cowherds who went into the mountains, most of them were already ripe.
Then it falls from the tree and smashes into the ground to rot.
The same goes for herbs.
Year after year, season after season, it's all wasted.
This year, she plans to organize people to pick these wild fruits.
Make preserved fruits and fruit jam and distribute them.
Autumn is the golden season for collecting herbs. After collecting this season, she will have a good communication with Fu Bo.
Open a medicinal garden in this mountain, and grow the medicinal materials that are in high demand in daily life, as well as the rare medicinal materials.
In addition, she also has a bold idea.
"Tangyaozi, tell me, can we enclose a piece of land in the mountains, or simply enclose a medium-sized forest to raise fragrant deer?"
On the way, she asked Luo Fengtang for his opinion.
The musk on the male deer is extremely valuable.
Last year she and Tang Yazi got a piece and sold it for twenty or thirty taels of silver.
After hearing her suggestion, Luo Fengtang thought about it seriously.
“It’s not impossible to raise deer deer.”
"In the forest, there are many people and strength. The most difficult thing is that it takes some effort to treat the little deer." He said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "When I come back from this trip, my top priority is to get the preserved fruit and honey jam out."
"Raising deer is just an idea at the moment."
"When you have a goal, you have a direction for your efforts, right?" she asked.
Luo Fengtang nodded: "That's good. Looking back on these days, I will run more up the mountain."
"I know which roads are infested with deer. I can catch as many as I can. Let's add up to a small amount!" he said.
"Great!"
…
After breakfast, Yang Ruoqing had just left the house with her clothes in her arms and was going to wash them in the pond.
As soon as I walked to the road in front of the courtyard, I saw a middle-aged man driving a carriage from Qingshui Town and headed straight for the entrance of the village.
As they passed her, the carriage stopped.
The middle-aged man asked her kindly: "Girl, let me ask you about someone, is there a man named Yang Huaming in your village?"
Yang Huaming?
Looking for Fourth Uncle?
Yang Ruoqing turned her head and saw the face of the person clearly.
He has a long face, in his mid-thirties, with stubble on his face, and is a one-eyed dragon.
The clothes he wore were quite decent.
His temperament doesn't look like those hands-off shopkeepers, but he doesn't look like someone who digs food in the dirt and does rough work either.
He spoke so peacefully that she couldn't really tell what his profession was for a while.
"May I ask your Excellency who you are?" she asked.
Don't let your guard down.
Didn't say yes, didn't say no.
The visitor smiled: "My name is Huang Laojiu. I met Yang Huaming when we were running small businesses outside. We happened to be near here. I heard that he mentioned that he lived here last time, so I wanted to come and visit."
"Oh." Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Huang Laojiu said again: "Girl, is there anyone named Yang Huaming in your village?"
"Can you help me lead the way? Otherwise, it's useless to just send a message. It's not easy for me to come all the way here. Thank you very much!"
Huang Laojiu smiled, opened the curtain of the carriage behind him, and took something wrapped in oil paper from inside and stuffed it to Yang Ruoqing.
"The first time we meet, a bag of candy coins."
Yang Ruoqing was about to say no.
The hands that take people are short, and the mouth that eats people is short.
At this time, a figure ran over.
"Oh, Qing'er, don't let me know. I want it, I want it..."
Yang Ruoqing turned around and saw that it was none other than Ms. Liu.
She quickly stepped back, pulled Mrs. Liu aside and whispered: "Fourth Aunt, you came just in time. This man claims to be Fourth Uncle's friend and is here to visit. I didn't tell him."
Mrs. Liu had just taken the bag of sugar coins and raised her head when she heard this.
"What? Are you here to find my man?" She rushed to the carriage and asked straight away.
Here, Yang Ruoqing has black lines all over her head.
This fourth aunt didn’t even touch her bottom a few times...
Over there, Mrs. Liu asked Huang Laojiu: "Yang Huaming is my man, and I am his wife. What do you want to do with him?"
Huang Laojiu was startled. Did he find the real owner?
He nodded happily: "So you are my brother and sister? When I was outside, I heard brother Hua Ming mention you and said that you are the most virtuous..."
This is false...
The corner of Yang Ruoqing's mouth twitched slightly.
Would Yang Huaming say such a thing?
Whoever wants to believe it will believe it. Anyway, she herself was beaten to death for not believing it.
However, Mrs. Liu believed it.
She combed her hair and asked Huang Laojiu nonchalantly: "Did he really praise me like that?"
"Yeah, seriously."
"Then what else did he praise me for?"
"Uh..." Huang Laojiu rolled his eyes.
It seems that he didn't expect that this woman would take the greetings he made during the meeting seriously.
Just as he was thinking about what to say, Liu couldn't wait to urge him.
"Hey, have you remembered? Why don't you tell me quickly? What else did that heartless guy praise me for?"
"Hard-working? Good-looking? Virtuous?"
"Ouch, what's going on with you? You're so anxious, please tell me quickly..."
Mrs. Liu stepped on Huang Laojiu and asked.
