Concubine Wuning

Early the next morning, He Qing got up and asked the servants to boil a pot of water.

He Qing stood behind the fourth elder brother, running her fingers between the long braids, untying them bit by bit.Unlike in the past, He Qing sat on one side at the end, watching the servants waiting to wash the fourth elder brother's hair.

The fourth elder brother closed his eyes, lying there, enjoying himself very much.

Occasionally, He Qing helped scoop up a ladle of water to wash, or said something broken aside, and the fourth elder brother would occasionally say a few words, which was very useful to pass the time.And because today is the day when the fourth elder brother rests and takes a bath, He Qing asks the servants to go to the cook to cook more food, and asks for another basin of ice, the fourth elder brother is very afraid of the heat.

It gradually became hot outside the window, and He Qing listened carefully, and could still hear some birdsong.The courtyard also raised a lot of cicadas and the like, and the chirping started to quarrel again.Looking at the green bamboo grove, He Qing felt relaxed and happy, and San'er walked around the backyard with his arms, picking up a few long fresh and lush vegetables.

When he came back, the fourth elder brother was already lying on the couch.He Qing went forward and wiped it with a cloth towel, and then took a comb in her hand, and combed it again and again.The fourth elder brother's hair is slightly curly, one side is clean and shiny, and the other side is slightly curly and long hair, the difference makes He Qing purse her lips and secretly smile.

He Qing squinted for the last time next to the fourth elder brother, and then carefully braided the fourth elder brother's long hair.The two simply finished their lunch, and He Qing was drowsy again, holding a book and fell asleep.When I wanted to come, I saw no one.

The dazzling sunlight hit the glazed screen, and in the bright and colorful dormitory, He Qing was so beautiful that he woke up a lot in an instant.He Qing lowered her head and looked at the bright lights on the ground, dazzled by the dazzling colors and splendors in the eyes, which were so bizarre that it made people feel refreshed.He Qing sat there dumbfounded, and only got up after a while.Lan Ying heard the movement, opened the curtain in front of the door, went to help He Qing up.

"Where have everyone gone?"

He Qing always felt that the courtyard was unbelievably quiet, and hearing the sound of people talking and laughing in a trance, it seemed very lively.He Qing clutched her chest, she always felt in a daze, as if being isolated by someone.

Lan Ying saw that He Qing frowned in a sentimental way, and her eyes were still looking towards the backyard, as if she could see the scene there through the window wall.Lan Ying felt helpless with that look of hopelessness and melancholy alone, "Si Ye saw that Ge Ge was sleeping soundly, so I asked the servants not to disturb me. The melons and fruits in the backyard are inconvenient for the master now, and Si Ye changed his clothes." , went to take care of the master."

"Take care of it for me?" He Qing rubbed her forehead with her hand, raising her eyebrows in disbelief.

"That's not true," Lan Ying nodded with a smile, "I also called a few cooks to grow together, so that I can make a fresh meal tonight. Jing'er is still holding a basket, saying that she is going to pick up fruit and chill it for the master. eat."

The crowd surrounded it, but it wasn't very lively.He Qing waited for Lan Ying to get dressed, and couldn't wait to go to the backyard.Passing through the hall door, walking around the veranda, laughter came from the yard.

The breeze blew the skirt and put it on her lap, He Qing moved lightly, holding a basket full of vegetables in her hands in spring, summer, autumn and winter, Jing'er looked up at the fruit tree on one side, yelling for people to pick more down.It was a lively scene, but He Qing saw San'er in front of him at a glance, the fourth elder brother who rolled up his trousers and sleeves.

One end had just been washed and had a long braid, and the fourth elder brother was coiled around his neck twice, and the end was bitten on his mouth.The fourth elder brother squatted on the ground, holding a small shovel, and was filling the dug out space with vegetable seedlings.Wearing old casual clothes on the fourth elder brother, he is so serious that he has the enthusiasm of the farmer for food.

He Qing walked up to him, but the fourth elder brother didn't notice.

Lan Ying was holding a paper umbrella, and it was slightly overcast. He Qing held a bowl of tea in her hand, "It's hot and humid, fourth master, let's have some tea first."

Sweat dripped from the scalp, and when He Qing approached, he could still see the water shining on the fourth elder brother's head. When the fourth elder brother raised his head, his brows were tightly closed, and He Qing immediately bent down slightly and grabbed the fourth elder brother. hair tips.The fourth elder brother opened his mouth, "Are you awake?"

He Qing nodded amusedly, and handed the tea bowl to Lan Ying before the fourth elder brother got up, and helped the fourth elder brother free the whip from his neck, "If I don't wake up, I'm afraid someone will faint."

Such a big sun, even chose a piece of unshaded soil to toss.The fourth elder brother didn't take it seriously, it seemed that after trying it out, he became interested and refused to let go.He Qing handed the tea bowl to the fourth elder brother's mouth, and the fourth elder brother started to drink it in a big gulp.

He Qing smiled and simply took a teapot, and let the fourth elder brother raise his head to drink up in a straightforward and convenient way.San'er stood behind him and could only cover his mouth and laugh secretly.

The fourth elder brother seemed to eat Qionggan Yulu, although he was a little embarrassed and fierce, but he looked very satisfied afterward.He Qing rolled out the embroidered handkerchief from her cuff, making a gesture to bend down.The fourth elder brother got up quickly, with the back of his hand against He Qing's arm, "Go over and sit down."

It's rare for He Qing to find some fun in it, so how can she be willing.The fourth elder brother was tall and tall, and He Qing raised his arms straight, wiping the sweat on the fourth elder brother's face with some difficulty.The fourth elder brother bent over, and He Qing felt more relaxed, covering his forehead, eyes, cheeks and chin.Then I changed the cloth towel that had been filled with water, and wiped my neck, "So I said the yard was deserted, and you didn't let me do it. It's good now, but I brought a whole yard of servants here while I was sleeping, tossing It's so lively."

The fourth elder brother couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he heard it, and looked at He Qing and coughed, and said in a low voice, "But did you bother me?"

There was always a smile on the corner of He Qing's mouth, and she shook her head with indescribable satisfaction on her face, "I happened to wake up, I'm so happy to see you here."

For the last sentence, He Qing moved closer, gently padded her feet and approached the fourth elder brother and said.After listening to the fourth elder brother, he hooked his lips happily, "I always have nothing to do. I guess the child will come out, and the master will clean up the yard for you. You don't have to be shy, and you can eat the pot lively."

He Qing pursed her lips and smiled slightly, her nose slightly sour.

The fourth elder brother glared at him, and gave He Qing a sour smile.

After all, looking at the fourth elder brother was too tired, He Qing couldn't sit still and wanted to help with the umbrella.The fourth elder brother took great pains to tie his hair around his waist, He Qing watched secretly, and finally stretched out his hand to pull out the long braid, and shook it by the end of his hair.The fourth elder brother was a little funny, but he lowered his head again, He Qing also calmed down, and stood there watching the tricks that the fourth elder brother was already familiar with.when

However, in terms of experience, He Qing has much more experience than the fourth elder brother.He Qing stood quietly, saying a word or two occasionally, Si elder brother didn't find it annoying.He nodded from time to time and asked a few questions.The fourth elder brother was so cooperative and good-tempered, He Qing couldn't help but chattered non-stop.

When she encountered something she was good at, He Qing raised her chin and looked back at Si elder brother with shining eyes.The complacent look on his face, the fourth elder brother looked at him, there was always a taste of a villain's success, which was very funny.

He Qing stood for a while longer, her legs swelled and her waist ached. Lan Ying sat on the side with her arms, "I heard that jade wheat is very easy to grow, but unfortunately I didn't find a farm to plant seedlings for a while."

At the beginning of the previous dynasty, a kind of jade and wheat came from the western barbarians.It seems to be a kind of vegetable, and the harvest can be seen in a hundred days after sowing.The common people love it very much, but it is comparable to sweet potatoes.

The fourth elder brother naturally knew this too. Under the Kangxi regime, these peasants would occasionally be mentioned among the people.It's just that Kangxi's explanations are all from what he has seen and heard in his life experience, and most of them come from his own thinking.However, the fourth elder brother looked down at this piece of land, and in the small holes in the soil, there were earthworms writhing and writhing by themselves.

"By the way, fourth master might eat sweet potatoes?" Thinking of this, He Qing stretched out his hand to the other corner, which seemed to be deserted, with only a few winding green leaves, "So I planted two because I thought it would be better than nothing. Looking at it now, it seems that there is also a harvest.”

The fourth elder brother looked up and followed, and when he turned his head, he saw He Qing's happy expression and those clear eyes again, he couldn't help but stick to it, staring intently.He Qing turned her head blushingly, and gave her an annoyed look.The fourth elder brother smiled, "It's strange that you like to huddle in the backyard. The soil is on the ground and under the trees. It's not green water and green mountains, but the fragrance of melons and fruits, simple and natural."

No matter how upset people are, seeing such a leisurely scene of the farmhouse, their minds seem to be cleared.

So unhappy.

Between the eyebrows of the fourth elder brother, there was a bit of envy and liking, He Qing's heart moved, and he looked sideways at the quieter courtyard behind.Beckon San'er to come over, "Go and wash the melons and fruits picked by Jing'er, and put some in the yard inside."

"Hey, okay." San'er understood He Qing's meaning, turned around and went out to look for Jing'er.

Jing'er was nimble, and she didn't know if she had taken all the melons and fruits to ice.Although it is iced, it is even more sweet.But in the end, it can't compare to the fresh taste just picked off.He Qing stood up, walked to the fence again, and faced the fourth elder brother who was on top of him who was surprised and didn't understand why she approached again.

"The sun is too poisonous at this moment. Fourth master didn't do this in the past. If I work hard for an afternoon, I will be happy. However, Fujin should blame me for the heat." He Qing said very aggrieved, When the fourth elder brother heard this, he moved the soil in a funny way, "Are you afraid of Fujin, or are you afraid that no one will help you clean up the soil in the backyard if you are sick?"

He Qing covered her mouth, and smiled with a raised brow.

The fourth elder brother himself also felt that it was a little too much, but it was just on the spur of the moment, so the countryside was more peaceful.It seems that it is more effective than reciting Buddhist scriptures in the past.The fourth elder brother was thinking about it, and felt that this was good. He smiled and fixed the situation in front of him, and then got up to wash his hands and face.
