dressed as a scholar

It was the first time for Qiao Hezhi to live in the countryside. He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child. Although the Qiao family came from a merchant family and their social status was not high, their life was very rich. They are all charming and favored, surrounded by pearls and greenery, so that they have never suffered any hardships in life when they grew up.

Even if he just married into Fang's family and was made things difficult by Mrs. Chen, it was only a mental torture. There was never a shortage of food, clothing and daily necessities. Besides, he had money by himself, but he never had any problems because of money. And worried.

Coming down to Zhuangzi today, he will live here for a month or so. He feels it is very fresh. Fang Yu set out earlier, and first brought a few servants to Zhuangzi to pack up and tidy up the house.

A few years ago, the tenant farmers on this side of Zhuangzi heard that the owner was coming to live in them, and they helped the steward and a group of servants in the Zhuangzi to clean up the inside and outside of the Zhuangzi. It was a newly built house. There is no need to do much cleaning.

Qiao Hezhi came to Zhuangzi in a bumpy carriage. It was the middle of the day. The spring weather in the countryside was clear, and the grass was shoveled on the official road, but I didn’t feel the spring was so strong. I could only see green onions in the distance, dotted with fruit trees and flowers in the mountains, etc. After I really entered Zhuangzi, I felt that spring was under my feet.

The wild flowers were blooming among the trails, and the spring sun was also warm. After getting off the carriage, he couldn't help but get out of Zhuangzi and take a walk outside.

At this point, the farm laborers have already gone to the fields, the cattle dragged and turned over half of the paddy fields, and the farm laborers on the land have also loosened most of the soil.The air is full of the fragrance of new grass and soil. Miss Xu Shijia's son and brother are not used to the sloppy and smell of the countryside, but Qiao Hezhi feels very fresh.

"My lord, you should wear a gauze hood to cover the sun, the sun here seems to be bigger than in the city, pouring down on people, although the spring sun is comfortable, but be careful not to damage your skin. "

Qiao Hezhi squatted down and picked some wild chrysanthemums on the roadside: "How can you be so delicate? My husband said that the darker people are, the easier it is to get tanned. It's good to get more sun exposure like me, to get rid of some sickness. It's too weak to stay in the house all day long."

"You think the sun on the Zhuangzi side is better because there are fewer eaves to shelter from the sun. The sun is so straight down, so it will naturally be more sunny. But only sunny crops grow well, and Zhuangzi's side is not good. It is a fertile field bestowed by the imperial court, if it is not sunny, it will not be a gift."

"Yes." After living in the mansion for a long time, coming out to such a wilderness is really a relief, and there is a sense of returning to the basics. Si Yu thought about it, and it is no wonder that people who go out to enjoy spring in spring have basket after basket. Even scholars love to come out and talk. Although she wanted to look around more, she still said to Qiao Hezhi with a tight look: "Then let's go out for a walk later, the head of the village is bringing people from the village to pay homage to the young master. "

Hearing this, Qiao Hezhi put the wild chrysanthemums into his sleeves. Today he is wearing a brightly embroidered dress, and the wild flowers are not easily noticeable on the sleeves.

This time, he came here first, and as the mistress of the house, he had to follow all the rules and etiquette of Zhuangzi. When Fang Yu came with his students, he didn't have to bother, and he could live directly.

In addition to the head of the village, there are currently seven servants in the village, who maintain and manage the cleaning of the village, take care of the grain on the farm, and handle the affairs of the hired farmers. Like chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, etc...

Since Zhuangzi was built, Qiao Hezhi has only come with Fang Yu once, and Fang Yu has come to take care of the rest of the time. Later, when Zhuangzi's many affairs were on the right track, they were handed over to Zhuangtou for management, and they handed over the accounts every month and every quarter. .

Although Zhuangzi's tenure is still short, the income in the past two years is still quite good, and the affairs are handled very well. Last year, when there was heavy snowfall, the farm laborers in the Zhuangzi felled trees in the summer when the farm was slack, and burned a lot of charcoal for Zhuangzi. In the middle of winter, farmers in nearby villages who had not stored charcoal all came to inquire about buying charcoal, and they made an extra fortune.

When he came here this time, he brought some broken silver and copper plates to reward the servants who worked hard in the manor, so that they would know that the owner was very clear about rewards and punishments.

If there is a reward, Zhuangzi is very grateful, and he is as happy as the New Year.

It was already noon when Qiao Hezhi finished his work, had a simple farm meal, and didn't take a nap in the afternoon, so he went to look at the dorms prepared for the students in the village.

Although Fang Yu explained in advance that there is no need to prepare too good rooms for the students, he asked a carpenter to make bunk beds for four people in one room, and exactly four rooms were accommodated.

Qiao Hezhi went to take a look. Although the house is not big, it has all the things. Looking at the strange layout, only Fang Yu can think of it, but I don't know if these young masters can bear this hardship.

Later on, lively voices could be heard on the road into Zhuangzi from a distance. Qiao Hezhi glanced at the dam outside the Zhuangzi where the crops were dried on weekdays. The head came over.

Qiao Hezhi smiled and went forward to greet him.

"One by one, riding in an ox cart for an hour is like walking fifty miles."

Seeing Qiao Hezhi, Fang Yu cursed.

Qiao Hezhi smiled and said: "The time has come, let's go to the Zhuangzi to rest and tidy up."

Except for Sun Yuan who had met Qiao Hezhi, the rest of the people had never had close contact with him, and they could be considered to have seen the teacher's wife today, and one after another changed their fatigue from the ox cart and got off the cart one after another, behaved in a well-behaved manner. He saluted with Qiao Hezhi: "Teacher's wife is well."

As soon as the words fell, a student couldn't control himself, turned around and vomited heartbrokenly by the side of the haystack with his buttocks pouted.

Qiao Hezhi's eyes changed, and he turned his head to look at Fang Yu: "What's wrong?"

"Motion sickness."

Fang Yu patted Qiao Hezhi's shoulder, he didn't intend to go to check, he dragged the man to Zhuangzi, vomited this and that along the way, he was no longer surprised by it.

"Go to Zhuangzi and drink some hot water to rest."

A group of people followed Fang Yu's buttocks, watching the fine master talking and laughing with the beautiful teacher, thinking that ten thousand wild horses were galloping. Zhiyuan, Shengsheng rushed to the front with a big bag of seeds, sandwiched Fang Yu in the middle and said to Qiao Hezhi: "Master, why are you here in the village, but you also want to eat and live with the students?" ?”

"Master's wife is also here to pick up the wind, and I can cook with you then."

"With teacher's wife's words, I don't feel that the countryside is bitter."

Sun Yuan talked nonstop: "Teacher's wife, the students are afraid that they will have no place to kill time when they come to the countryside this time, so they brought some operas and Chinese scripts, which are your favorite..."

Fang Yu was already very upset about being squeezed in the middle, and his spine went cold when he heard Sun Yuan's words. He quickly stretched out his hand to cover Sun Yuan's mouth and gave him a deadly stare.

"What, what's the matter?"

Seeing Fang Yu like this, Qiao Hezhi looked at the two of them in surprise.

"It's okay, this kid is talking in my ears and making a lot of noise. I don't know why these days, I always have tinnitus, and I feel dizzy when I hear too much noise."

Qiao Hezhi raised his mind when he heard the words, as expected, he didn't pay attention to Sun Yuan's topic: "Why didn't I hear you mention it, do you want to invite a doctor to come and have a look?"

"No need, a small problem is not a big deal." Fang Yu said in time: "Hey, it's here!"

At the same time, he secretly gave Sun Yuan a sideways glance, and Sun Yuan shrank his shoulders resentfully, but did not flatter the horse's hooves again.

When everyone arrived at Zhuangzi, they were already extremely tired, and they were not allowed to bring their servants. They carried all the seeds they bought by themselves. Although it was only a few steps away, their bodies, which had never been exercised, were already sweating.

When I got to the dam, I didn't care about anything. I put the seeds on the ground, and those who were sitting and squatting had already started to pant and rest.

Fang Yu also knew not to push too hard, and said: "There is going to be a lottery here. There are four people in one room, and the serial number is one, two, three, four. If you get the same serial number, you will be in the same room. You can organize it today and get up at midnight tomorrow." Wash and tidy up, eat breakfast, and go to the field at the end of the day."

Everyone was wailing silently, and hurriedly went to draw lots and wanted to go back to the house to have a rest, especially the one who vomited from the dizzy cart.

After a group of people drew lots, they turned to their roommates. Qiao Hezhi said: "The servants will take you to the dormitory. After you pack up, you can walk around. Come to the dining hall to eat at the end of Youshi, which is the lobby on the left." It’s not far from your dormitory, just walk along the corridor and you’ll be there soon.”

Hearing Qiao Hezhi's words, everyone cheered up again. Who told the teacher's wife not only to have a good life, but also to speak softly and nicely, which is not as pleasant as the words of the master.

"Thank you, ma'am."

After everyone thanked them, they labeled the crop seeds they selected and sent them to the storage room, and then they could take their clothes and salute to the dormitory.

"This, so small!"

Zhao Wanxin has worked under Fang Yu for a few months, and he is no longer as arrogant as when he first met him. Before, he could do good things with money, and everyone respected him. After taking classes under Fang Yu , I always have to do some drudgery incognito, and I can be regarded as seeing the warmth and warmth of people, and realizing that if it is not because of the blessing of the family, it is nothing, and slowly put away the face of getting rich, and now I am much more approachable. up.

Even so, when he was standing at the door of the narrow dormitory with his two big bags of clothes, he was still in shock, and the salute bag fell to the ground with a bang.

Sun Yuan bypassed Zhao Wanxin and went into the dormitory: "I originally thought that according to the master's arrangement, all of them would be crowded into the Datong bunk. Nowadays, one person has one bed, which is unexpected."

"I don't know where the master got this bed. I have never seen such a bed before. Is it true that the person who sleeps on it won't roll off?"

"Jiang Lu'an, if you want to fall off, just fall off, but don't hit me." Sun Yuan was originally lucky to sleep on the lower bunk, but when he watched his slightly muscular classmate take off his shoes and socks and climb up to the upper bunk, the whole bed was shaking. It was shaking slightly, and he couldn't help feeling scared.

"Don't worry, I'll give it a try to see if it's strong."

Jiang Lu'an sat in the middle of the bed and twisted his waist, and the bed also swayed, but there was nothing wrong with it: "Come on, Ansheng is very good, and Master wouldn't be so ruthless as to let us Sleep on a bad bed."

Sun Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Zhao Wanxin standing still at the door and looking at the house, he rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly. Although the two of them often joked about each other, the grandparents and fathers were real family friends. Also unusual.

He got up from the bed, dragged Zhao Wanxin's salute at his feet and stuffed it under his bed, and said disgusting words: "If you don't rest, you will go to the ground tomorrow, and there will be even more trouble at that time." Screaming, don’t stand at the door if you don’t rest.”

With the steps down, Zhao Wanxin didn't hang his neck at the door anymore, and walked slowly into the dormitory and sat on his bed. It felt better, but he still couldn't stop his distaste: "This place is too small and simple. Even my firewood house is twice as big as this place, and the decoration is better than this place."

As he said that, he looked back at the bed again, and pressed the bed board: "The bed can't be too narrow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to turn over at night, and the bed board is also very hard."

"You are still young, and you are still growing up. The bed is too soft for your bones to grow."

As soon as Zhao Wanxin finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice coming from the door of the house. They all looked over and immediately tensed up when they saw the person coming: "Master."

"Don't think the bed boards here are hard. You should make the bed boards at home firmer when you go home. I see that most people have never talked about marriage. If they don't maintain a good posture, how can they talk to their girls in the future?" brothers."

After all, Fang Yu was worried that it would be funny if these rich kids were not used to crying in the dormitory, so he came over to check the situation, but apart from complaints, no one wanted to pack up and go back.

Sun Yuan said with a playful smile: "Master, what you said is reasonable. Although I am already good enough to face the wind, I still have to maintain a good posture, and then I will also find a husband who is like a teacher's wife."

Fang Yuxu kicked Sun Yuan: "Make you beautiful."

"If there is anything missing, you can tell me or the teacher's wife, but the premise is that it is necessary for daily life, such as something for fun, so don't bring it up for scolding."

Although they listened to Fang Yu's scolding words, their tone was gentle, and they felt warm in their hearts. The master personally came to comfort them, and the dissatisfaction and discomfort they felt when they first entered Ann's dormitory subsided a lot.

"Come on, pack up, rest if you want to rest, go for a walk if you want to go for a walk, the weather is fine today and you can walk around, there are streams and flower fields near Zhuangzi, there are many good places, but don't go too far and miss dinner Time. I still have to go to other dormitories, and if I have anything to do, come to the main hall to find me."

The four of them nodded like chickens pecking at rice, and bowed their hands again: "Thank you, Master."
