Chapter 53 Water 1 Pink 240+
Lin Jinrong followed Gong's mother's words, changed his boots, wore a hooded cloak, and walked out from the back corner door led by the Tiehuai family.
This rural house is simple to build, not like the high-walled courtyard in the city. It is a large paddy field in the backyard that goes out along a row of willows. Now in winter, the water in the paddy field has been dry for a long time. There are some unknown weeds growing in the field. There is still a little green in the yellow, shining light yellow and warm light in the winter sun. There was no one going in and out, only a few gray white wild birds kept taking off and landing, very clean. The sky is blue and cloudless, and the cold air is a little clear, which is completely different from the feeling of the Lin family's compound.
Lin Jinrong took a deep breath and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
The Tiehuai family turned out to be the second-class girl next to the Tao family. She knew what the girls and young masters from the city liked. They said some interesting rural anecdotes to Lin Jinrong, and from time to time they casually picked out a grass bud from the ground or picked a dried leaf for Lin Jinrong to show Lin Jin What can be eaten, what can't be eaten, and what season is the most delicious.
It's okay to have fun in the countryside. Lin Jinrong likes the wild vegetables she said the most. He solemnly wrapped the longan with a veil. He said that he wanted to go back and study it carefully, which made everyone snicker.
As the group talked, they walked along the field ward, and unconsciously walked a long way. Lin Jinrong was about to lead the Tiehuai family to take her further away, when he heard someone shouting in the back: "Tiehuai's uncle Chang and grandma came to visit the master and wife. My wife asked you to lead the girl to the meeting as soon as possible. Why did you lead the girl so far? It's easy for me to find her.
The Tiehuai family looked back, and the house behind them had long been a small piece. It was much farther than expected. They couldn't help patting their heads and shouting, "Oh, my brain! I had expected that his family would have someone to come and visit him. How could he lead the girl so far? I just want to talk to the girl about these weeds and wild vegetables. It's hard for the girl not to think that the maidservant is annoying. She can listen to the maidservant for such a long time.
Lin Jinrong said softly, "Mom, don't be modest. I'm also a lot of insight. Maybe you can use it one day.
Tie Huai's smile looked at Lin Jinrong and felt that the gentle, kind and beautiful little girl was really pleasing to the eye: "The fourth girl's speech is really comfortable. The girl must not know who Uncle Chang and Grandma Chang are, right?
"I got up early and listened to Gong's mother. It's the uncle and aunt of the clan, right? Lin Jinrong's tone became more and more gentle: "In the future, my mother will be here to recuperate, and I have to bother them often. My mother told me about their family affairs, so that I can remember it so that I can avoid rudeness."
"The year before last, his family came to marry, and the old master settled the family business for him. It happened that there was a field to sell near his wife's village, so he put it near here." The virtual of Tiehuai's family pointed to the southeast: "It's about seven or eight miles away from here, and it's their home. Their land is also next to their wife's land. The girl only needs to remember that this grandmother Chang is a sequel. Neither the eldest young master nor the second young master of his family was born and raised by her, and the third young master is enough for her.
Lin Jinrong looked far into the distance, but saw a large field stretching out in the southeast. Several rows of bare willows stood quietly on the horizon, and a hill was blocked in the distance, and Lin Chang's house could not be seen. He withdrew his eyes and asked the Tiehuai family, "Didn't you say there was a hot spring near here?" Where are they all?"
"Girl, be careful about the roots of this wire grass." Fuding Lin Jinrong of Tiehuai's family pointed to the west: "Girl, look there, there is a Qingliang Temple, and the spring is in it."
Lin Jinrong squinted and looked carefully. Sure enough, he could see a small temple with pink walls hidden in a row of dense pines and cypresses, so he casually asked, "I heard from my uncle that my wife can also go to the hot spring..."
As soon as the Tiehuai family heard it, she knew what she inquired about, so she said, "It's a nunnery, and there are only two old nuns in it. The land is not big, the incense is not strong, and the house is dilapidated. The two old nuns are too honest and lazy, so they don't show it. Otherwise, I'm afraid the ladies and girls in the city will come to play often.
Lin Jinrong secretly wondered, yes, the land is not big, the incense is not strong, and the house in the house is naturally not much better, so there are hot springs that people don't like to come. For example, Dow, it is impossible not to know this hot spring, but he has never brought his children to play. If it hadn't been for Tao Shunqin's mention, I'm afraid that Tao wouldn't have thought of coming here at all.
Tiehuai's family nagging: "The water of this hot spring flows out of the Qingliang Temple, bypasses the Qingliang Mountain, and flows down the Qingliang River. One mile and a half below is the old gentlemen's house. The old gentleman is highly respected. He built a school for free. He does not collect cultivation. He teaches the Come on. His old lady is a kind-hearted person and often gives to the old nun in the Qingliang Temple. Speaking of which, the wife's dowry Zhuangzi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the people are outstanding. It's really a precious place..." "Mr. Zhu? Mr. Zhu Mengqi? Lin Jinrong's eyes lit up again. Isn't that a very famous Confucian in Pingzhou? How can you think of it as a neighbor again? Lin Jinrong tiptoed and looked to the west, trying to see something. However, the not-so-high hill behind the Qingliang Temple completely blocked the scenery over there. She could only see the water waves shining in the sun in the distance.
"Four girls, Mr. Zhu planted a large area of peach and pear trees on Qingliang Mountain. When the flowers bloomed in spring, the white pear petals and the pink peach petals flowed down the river. The fish in the river would come out to eat the petals. At that time, they made a net and took the willow branches into the water. The fish It fell into the net and became a fried crispy fish. It's really delicious and fun! Will you and your wife stay until spring? The voice was crisp and rapid, and Lin Jinrong described a beautiful picture.
Lin Jinrong looked back, but saw a little girl in a semi-old pink jacket skirt and tied in a maid's bun. A little girl about the same age as herself leaned out from behind the locust family and looked at herself with a particularly clear nest on her dark face.
"You damn girl! Who told you to talk too much? There is no big or small in front of the girl. The Tiehuai family was scolding, but the smile and love in her eyes couldn't help it. "I made a joke about the girl. This is the third girl of the maidservant's family. She is the youngest and spoiled."
"It doesn't matter. I think she is very happy." Lin Jinrong smiled at the girl: "What's your name?" The girl said generously, "If you go back to the girl, my name is Miao Ya."
Guiyuan laughed out loud, "If you want to call yourself a slave, how can you and me be with the girl?" Her eyes just slipped on the girl's feet and found that the girl had a pair of big feet that were very different from ordinary people, and she couldn't help laughing.
Miao Ya just blushed at this time and shrank her feet under her skirt. However, seeing that Lin Jinrong smiled gently and did not mean to blame her, she spit out her tongue at Guiyuan and happily spread a pair of big feet and ran forward: "I'll show you the way to the girl."
It's still a careless "me" as usual.
Lin Jinrong suddenly felt that she was a little in love with this place. She turned around and asked the Tiehuai family happily, "Mom, when I came, I passed a river, and there was a large area of saline land by the river. Whose family is that?"
It took a long time for the Tiehuai family to realize which land she asked, and said with a smile, "I don't know. The land has always been so barren. I'm afraid it's ownerless?"
Lin Jinrong frowned: "No owner?" She remembers that there are laws in this dynasty, no land, reclamation can be raised, and taxes are extremely low. Even in some places, there is no need to pay taxes. But this is a good thing for others, but it is more tricky for her.
For what reason can she impress Dow and arrange someone to reclaim the wasteland with her? How can the barren land of salt and alkaline land be reclaimed?
Sure enough, the Tiehuai family smiled and said, "Who would want that kind of land?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and asked her: "I made a bet with my uncle. Mom, please find out for me who it is. Ask carefully, and I have to thank you. He turned his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know how many such places are there around here?" Let's ask at the same time."
Tie Huai's family was very curious about what Lin Jinrong and Tao Shunqin had made, but they didn't have the courage to ask carefully. They just didn't mention it. Lin Jinrong was afraid that she would treat herself as a child as perfunctory as others, and repeatedly told her to put it down.
The group went back to Zhuangzi, and Grandma Chang also sat there with Tao to eat tea and gossiped: "Life is difficult, and the place is not familiar. Last year, I took care of the blessing of the house. After settling down, I married my eldest son and had my eldest grandson. The second child is nearly 20 years old, but there is ... There is another one in his stomach, and his father is so worried..."
Dow expressed deep sympathy: "It will be all right."
Seeing a group of people gathered around Lin Jinrong, Grandma Chang immediately stopped talking, stood up with the mother-in-law, and smiled politely, "Is this the fourth girl? You look so good."
Dow hurriedly said, "She is a junior. Why do you pay attention to her? Sit down quickly."
Grandma Chang laughed happily: "It's okay, it's okay."
"Auncle, bless you." Lin Jinrong saluted shamantly. When Grandma Chang sat down, Fang stood behind Tao and saw Grandma Chang's appearance clearly.
This woman is about thirty years old, and she is only beautiful. She has a golden hairpin, two beaded flowers, a semi-new light blue silk on her body, and a green skirt. The most eye-catching thing is the surprising belly.
The waiter is an old woman and a little girl who is only eight or nine years old. The woman's half-old and brand-new skirt is still creaked, and the little girl is stunned and only cares about eating fruit.
Lin Jinrong couldn't help thinking that it seemed that his uncle's family was not very well-off and his life was not very good.
