Chapter 191 Xianghe Tianzhuang, a paradise

One of the beautiful dowry, this farm in Xianghening Village, was bought for her when she was still in her infancy. Not to mention the beautiful scenery, the eldest princess also came to "inspection" for the first time. It is said that this manor was the property of a visiting family in the Eastern Ming Dynasty. The house was built for leisure. "A pleasant small house" was exquisitely decorated at the beginning. Among them, there are not only carved buildings and fragrant pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, full of fruit trees and strange flowers, but also the natural scenery of the countryside, surrounded by mountains and rivers, ten miles of rice fragrance, and picturesque scenery.

The Wanbo couple who manage Zhuangzi are the companions of their mother Wanniang. They are the most loyal and reliable. Although the master has not been here for ten years, they have maintained the house as new.

Surrounded by two-entry houses, it is nearly a thousand mu of fertile land. In July, the seedlings are lush, melons and fruits are hedged, and vitality can be seen everywhere.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the three little women stepped on the countryside day by day, and the first few days were leisurely and enjoyed it.

Even Qi Niang felt puzzled: "I used to be naughty. My mother always threatened to punish me to go to Zhuangzi to think about it, and I thought Zhuangzi was a Shura hell. How could I know that the blue sky and white clouds here and natural scenery were much more interesting than my family. In the future, I will not be afraid of my mother's threats."

A few words made Aunt Wan laugh: "Qi Niang only looked at this good place. Unexpectedly, this place was originally chosen by the old lady. It has always been a pleasant place for large families to live. Naturally, it is exquisite and not as simple as other farms. In addition, the little ladies come to relieve the summer heat, but they still have nothing. Yangchunshui, all trivial things are served by slaves and maidservants. They don't know the hardships of farmers. Looking at these ten miles of rice incense, I don't know how much sweat they have worked to cultivate. If the slaves and maidservants in the house are afraid of being sent to Zhuangzi once they make mistakes, that is, they are afraid of the hardships in the countryside, which is not as good as in the state mansion.

Qiniang still doesn't care: "With these beautiful scenery of Tianyuan, even if you live in a bamboo house, you are still at home. What's simpler? I still want to let M mother teach me how to farm, but my grandmother won't allow it."

"Qiniang is very open-minded." Aunt Wan nodded slightly.

After playing in her own village for a few days, the three golden flowers gradually became unsatisfied and went to hang out in the village. The eldest princess was not confined to them and only asked the guards to guard them carefully so as not to be offended.

The little women rode in front of them, followed by a green lacquered cart. The maid prepared refreshments on the carriage. When she saw that the little master was tired and wanted to sit down to rest, she took the reed mat and went forward, first spread it in the shade, served several people to sit down, and then carried down a few narrow cases, and served sweet and delicious cakes, and half Warm and fragrant tea.

Yijing and Si Niang and Qi Niang looked at several girls sitting on the edge of the stream without hesitation. They rolled up their trousers and played with the water barefoot. They were full of curiosity. They only felt that this was unrestrained. Even if they were far away from the deep house in the city, they could not be so arbitrary.

Several girls also looked curiously at the girls' brocade dresses, with hairpin rings, and their eyes were full of envy and friendliness.

Originally, the tenants in Zhuangzi also had children, but they had been told that they did not dare to offend the nobles. They were very restrained. Even if the scenery took the initiative to talk to them, they were either red or hesitated, which was very boring.

Seeing that several girls were really interesting, Qi Niang simply waved to them.

The girls were not afraid of being born. They lifted their feet from the stream, dried the water stains from the grass on the shore, stepped barefoot in the coarse cloth shoes, and ran over with their hands.

Seeing that they stared straight at the tea on the table, squeezed the corners of their lips and smiled, as if they were curious and seemed to be greedy, so she handed them the tea. The girls did not go out and took the tea cup, but they were not in a hurry to drink it. They only looked at the exquisite object they had never seen before, and their eyes were shining until they enjoyed it enough, and then they sipped it gently. The mouthful of tea frowned bitterly and "pah" without concealing.

It made the sisters laugh and let them taste the pastry.

"This is delicious, and the tea is bitter." A girl laughed.

The girl with the shortest and the roundest face couldn't help turning around and ran away. When she came back, there were several green cucumbers in her pocket. Obviously, they had been washed in the stream, and the cloth was covered with water stains.

The girl crisply broke off the cucumber tail, threw it aside, and handed it to Yijing: "This quenches thirst is the sweetest."

Yijing took it over and saw that the cucumber was not peeled, and there was a protruding thorn on the surface. For a moment, Qi Niang had already taken one from the girl's hand, broke it in half, tasted it, and tasted it, and praised it as crisp and delicious. Seeing that the cucumber tail was the smoothest, she wondered about the taste and was about to taste it, but was Aunt Wan beside her quickly stopped it: "This can't be eaten. It's astringent."

"It tastes better than that tea." A girl laughed.

Several girls are similar in age. Although their identities are different, they get close in just a few words. The scenery asked them that they are all in the village, not sisters, but neighbors. Because adults are busy in the field, they often come to the stream to fish and pick wild vegetables.

I also heard that villagers are often invited to come to the stream to enjoy the cool. It was lively and interesting, and they were all full of interest. They discussed that they must come to watch it.

The most curious thing is Qi Niang, who is the best singer.

"Of course, that's the eldest son of the Sun family. He is literate."

"No, no, we can't understand what he sings, and we don't like to talk to us. We only know how to please a few sisters of the Li family."

"I think Ah Fu sings the best, has a loud voice and dances well."

Several girls quarreled.

Aunt Wan also explained: "There are several villages around. Farmers are busy during the day. When they are free in the evening, they like to come to the bridge to sing and have fun. There are also several rich families. Langjun and ladies will also come to have fun. We have seen a lot, but it is not strange. If the little women are happy, they can Let's take a look.

While talking and laughing, I suddenly heard a woman shouting sharply--

Looking at the beautiful scenery, I saw a woman with floral cloth wrapped in her hair and a blue skirt chasing a tall and strong man, running all the way from Tian Long, and shouting while chasing--

"Aquan, stop, you have to tell me today."

However, the man named "A Quan" rushed forward more and more like a calf. He suddenly plunged into the stream and came over. It was not until he went ashore and stood up. Seeing the woman stamping her feet on the other side of the shore in frustration, she opened her mouth and smiled.

Suddenly, many farmers stood out of the field, including white-haired old men, descendants in their prime, and even Jingcai cloth skirts, but beautiful peasant women.

Someone slapped and joked, "Sister-in-law Zhu, you are so tight that you are so scared that A Quan hid from Jinyangjing some time ago. It's hard to come back, aren't you afraid to scare people away again?"

Looking at the "Sister Zhu", she was about 20 years old. Because of her dark skin, she couldn't really see her delicate age. She had big eyebrows and big eyes, and her nose and lips were plump. Her facial features were very "British" and slightly soft, but her waist was extremely graceful. At this time, she was looking at Ah Quan with tears, but her eyes were extremely hot.

Such a fierce and obvious female pursuer really stunned the daughters of the boudoir.

He also heard that there was a later disaster: "Aquan, you are a fool, just follow Zhu's sister-in-law. Do you understand that this is Yanfu?"

A burst of laughter.

A Quan didn't mind and didn't talk. He looked for a shade and sat on his knees bent down, leaning against the tree pole and took a nap.

The fourth mother was very surprised: "Look at that woman, she should be married, right?"

Aunt Wan smiled and decomposed: "Zu Niang is the child daughter-in-law of a farmer in the village, and she is also a miserable girl. Her husband has been sick since childhood and died at the age of 15. Zhu Niang is very filial to her parents-in-law, and the family only regards her as her biological daughter. After her son died, she wants to find another honest man for her. Zhu Niang likes it. Quan, who didn't appreciate it. He ran fast as soon as he saw her.

Binjing noticed that Zhu Niang was annoyed for a while, but she was still unwilling to go around a stone bridge a hundred steps away and wanted to come from that end.

Some people reminded loudly: "A Quan Ah Quan, the sister-in-law of the Zhu family is here, and you are still doting there?"

A Quan woke up and looked straight at her neck. Seeing that Mrs. Zhu really ran to the stone bridge, she was so scared that a carp stood up and took a step and ran away in a moment.

When Aunt Wan saw that the little women enjoyed watching, she talked about this Aquan: "His surname is Sun, and he is still the uncle of the Sun family that these girls just mentioned. Originally, his family was rich here, but unfortunately he has a hard life."

aroused the curiosity of the sisters, and Wan's aunt continued to say, "A Quan's father somehow fell in love with a prostitute. Regardless of his wife and children, he sold his family property and redeemed himself for the prostitute. I don't know where the two went. A Quan was just born that year. His mother was worried and made friends, and he didn't get better when she was ill. In A Quan died when he was three years old. A Quan's uncles were also ruthless. They bullied him when he was young and weak, and dominated the property of his house. If it hadn't been for the old people in the village, they wouldn't have given him the field.

I heard that Ah Quan ate a hundred-meter-sized, and now he has already stood up. He is still alone. He is simple and honest, puzzled amorous feelings, and can't avoid Zhu Niang. Some time ago, Zhu's parents-in-law invited a matchmaker to propose marriage, but they scared him so much that he left his farm work and ran to Jinyangjing to make a living by doing odd jobs. Maybe he might not be able to survive. I just came back." Aunt Wan also said, "At that time, the Sun family gave him a few mu of thin fields, and he was still a three-year-old child. Wherever he had the ability to cultivate, he was helped by his neighbors so that he would not starve to death. Over the years, when the harvest is too busy, we will also ask the labor in the village to help. Ah Quan is the one who works hard. We pity him and still want to hire him as a long-term worker, but he doesn't want to be free. He is happy and free. He also ignores the people of the Sun family, just like strangers. Sometimes he collects it. It didn't work well. He relied on those acres of thin fields and didn't even make a living. He had to follow a few descendants to work in rich families elsewhere. They all said that he was miserable, but he was happy and was really a simple person.

In the evening, the three sisters of Yijing really obtained the permission of the eldest father-in-law and came to the side of the bridge to watch the villagers sing and have fun. Only then did they know that this unattractive stone bridge that used to cross Qingxi was actually called Magpie Bridge by the locals. Several surrounding villages were married, new People have to pass by the bridge and receive the neighbor's song as a wish. Then there are poems and books in the village. They named the stone bridge "Liangyuan Bridge" and chisel it. On the embankments on both sides of the Liangyuan Bridge become a place for villagers to gather and entertain. When the sun sets and the evening glow is beautiful, it becomes the most lively place.
