"That is?" Zhou Zheng was puzzled.
"It's used to raise animals." Xiao Changhe replied.
"Ah?" Zhou Zheng was startled.
Seeing the expression on Zhou Zheng's face, Xiao Changhe knew that he had misunderstood.
He quickly explained: "Beasts, beasts, they are birds and beasts. Anyway, the children want to raise some rabbits or something. My wife likes to raise chickens. They all said that they want a bigger venue."
"So that's it." Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea to calm down his shock.
I don't blame him for thinking too much, mainly because he has never seen anyone raise chickens and ducks before, and even build a house specifically for it.
This is too luxurious.
He took a closer look at the decorations in the Xiao family courtyard, wondering if he had underestimated the family.
After a while, Xu Zhengxiang and Yang Feng divided the food and went into the house to prepare dinner.
This year's new grain will have a lot left after paying taxes, so there is no need to save so much on food. Xu Zhengxiang asked Yang Feng to cook a pot of new rice at night.
This is the second time after the food came down, they cooked new rice to eat.
Yang Feng moved the rice pounding device she made last time into the yard, and chatted with Ye Luoxin while pounding the rice. She did it with ease, and Master Zhou was very surprised to see it.
"Did you make this thing yourself?"
"Yes, it was Jing'er who came up with it!" Yang Feng replied, "This rice pounder is very light when stepped on. It saves a lot of effort than the original one."
"What a great idea! What a great idea!" Master Zhou praised.
He has been studying for so many years, but he has never applied anything in the book to his life.
Even in the most difficult time, he was just writing words and copying books for others. In comparison, none of his students were insightful.
I'm really ashamed.
"This kid Xiao Jing will definitely become a great talent in the future!" he said.
"Thank you for your good wishes." Xu Zhengxiang saw the opportunity and said, "When he comes back soon, I will let Jing'er officially become your disciple. Please don't dislike it."
There is a difference between Master and Master.
The master is just a teacher, but the relationship between the master and the master is closer than that of the master. As the saying goes, once you are a teacher, you will always be a father. Once you recognize the master, the two of you will have a family relationship.
"With my status, how can I be someone else's master?" Master Zhou said.
If Xiao Jing really becomes a talent in the future, having a master like him will become a stain on Xiao Jing.
He didn't want Xiao Jing to regret it in the future.
"Master Zhou, don't be too modest. I want to see that Master Zhou is more talented and knowledgeable than the average gentleman. As long as you recognize Jing'er, you will be a blessing to our Xiao family."
What Xiao Changhe said was sincere and sincere, so Zhou Zheng no longer shied away.
"You don't have to recognize the master, but Zhou will do his best to teach him everything he has learned throughout his life."
He may not be as good as others in other aspects, but when it comes to reading, he is still somewhat confident.
Since he can't realize his ambition in this life, he should pin his hopes on his students.
When the student becomes successful, he will be able to smile even if he dies.
…
In the evening, the Xiao family cooked braised pork belly, sauced elbows, tofu balls, cold cucumbers, and lotus root soup made with large bones.
Even Xu Cai couldn't say anything bad about this table of dishes.
Xu Zhengxiang served everyone a bowl of soup and asked everyone to eat quickly.
Xu Cai awkwardly picked up a piece of sauce meat and put it in Pei Shu's bowl.
"Thank you Doctor Pei for the medicine you gave me yesterday. I don't feel any pain at all today. I have nothing to thank you for now. When I get home in the future, I will definitely let my dad thank you."
Pei Shu looked at Xu Cai and lost his previous ridicule, "You have some conscience. My old man's medicine is very expensive. I don't know if your father can afford it."
When Xu Cai heard this, he was unhappy again: "My father is Xu Ji's shopkeeper. You can find out if there are any medicines that my father cannot afford!"
After relaxing for a while, the atmosphere began to become tense again.
Master Zhou was here today, so Xiao Mu didn't let them quarrel and said directly: "Let's all eat."
Doctor Pei stopped talking, and Xu Cai also shut up.
After dinner, Xiao Jing lit a lantern and sent Master Zhou back to the academy to rest.
The rest of the Xiao family returned to their rooms to prepare for rest.
Xiao Mu and Ye Luoxin took baths respectively. Ye Luoxin sat on the edge of the bed and wiped her hair. Xiao Mu suddenly took out the paper bag he had brought back during the day.
"What is this?" Ye Luoxin asked.
"The clothes I bought for you." Xiao Mu replied.
Xiao Mu said as he opened the paper bag, which contained a goose-yellow light-colored gauze dress.
"This..." Ye Luoxin was attracted by this dress after just one glance.
The material of this dress is very soft and looks like it is made of silk. It is embroidered with irregular patterns with silver thread, and the bottom of the skirt is also decorated with a light cyan border.
"This dress is beautiful, but isn't it too expensive?" she said involuntarily.
In this family, everyone wears coarse linen clothes.
In the first few days, she made money from selling pig trotters. She only bought a set of fine cloth clothes for her mother and sister-in-law, and she was not willing to spend money to buy them herself.
In the end, Xiao Mu was lucky and bought such an expensive one at once.
"I originally wanted to buy you a muslin dress today, but as soon as I walked in, I fell in love with this one. It looks good and will match you."
Xiao Mu didn't say anything.
When he walked into the clothing store, there happened to be a lady from an official family trying on this dress.
The lady liked the style of this dress.
However, the goose-yellow clothes were very attractive. After trying them on, the young lady found that her face looked darker, so she immediately took off her clothes and gave them to the shopkeeper.
"I dare to recommend any shabby clothes to this lady!"
The shopkeeper regretted a little. This dress was meant to be worn by people. They had to be fair and fair to look good in it.
Xiao Mu saw it from the side and immediately thought of Ye Luoxin at home.
When it comes to fair skin, who can compare to his own wife? That's a skin color that reflects light under the moonlight.
So he bought the clothes. It cost 8 taels of silver.
"This dress is expensive and can't help but get dirty. I don't have the chance to wear it on weekdays." Ye Luoxin touched the dress and liked it very much.
"Then wear it for me to see." Xiao Mu said.
"Ah?" Ye Luoxin felt her heart beat violently, and her cheeks started to feel faintly hot again.
"Show it to you? What do you think?"
she asked quietly.
"Just in the room, put it on and show it to me." Xiao Mu stepped forward with the clothes, his voice getting deeper and deeper.
Ye Luoxin lowered her head and refused to look up at him.
Xiao Mu had already walked to her side and put her clothes on her body.
"I thought it was right. This color really suits you. I like it."
This man never talks about love.
This was the first time he said: I like it.
It was obviously not a touching love story, but Ye Luoxin's heart felt numb after hearing it, as if she had returned to the night of drinking, and her whole body was light and airy.
I received 23 reminders today, almost twice as many as yesterday. I love you all (づ￣ 3￣)づ
