Chapter 211: Wang Su Grange
March 29, the last day of March, is closed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Ping sat at the door wearing boots, Pan Pan stood aside, pouting and saying, "Daddy, they all said that they would take a break today, where are you going?" Why don't you play with me at home? ”
Xu Ping put on his boots, stepped on the ground twice, and said: "Today, your Uncle Wang Su's Zhuangzi rice planting in the rice field, he is the first time to do this kind of thing, and he invited a few colleagues and friends to watch the ceremony, and Daddy can't help but go." ”
Panpan shook his head: "That Uncle Wang Su is really troublesome, why don't you choose to plant rice on another day?" By the way, we didn't let him come to plant rice in Zhuangzi, even if he planted watermelons, he didn't come, why did Daddy go? ”
Xu Ping stood up and patted Panpan's little head: "Last time, Uncle Wang Su brought you a lot of toys, the kite that was flown yesterday afternoon, there was a 'yellow fat' outside your door, all of which were brought by your Uncle Wang, why do you say bad things about him behind his back now?" ”
Panpan tilted her head and thought for a while, feeling that she couldn't think of anything to arrange Wang Su, so she simply came up and hugged Xu Ping's legs, and said pitifully: "Daddy, don't go, can you go out with me to fly a kite?" ”
Xu Ping patted his daughter and said, "Don't make trouble, I'll play with you when Daddy comes back, what I'm going to do now is the right thing." ”
Seeing that his father would not change his mind, Pan Pan immediately changed his face, let go of Xu Ping, and sat to the side with a cold face.
Xu Ping shook his head helplessly, the family has a small population, and no one plays with his daughter, so it is really difficult for him. In the past two days, Xu Chang and his wife returned to Zhongmu with their children, and Panpan was even more lonely, no wonder he was coquettish.
Feeling relieved that he wanted to leave, Xu Ping thought about it and said to Panpan: "The weather is fine today, you let your mother take you to Uncle Li's house, follow the Black Tiger and them to go outing, and take a turn in Jinming Pond." ”
Pan Pan snorted and turned his head to ignore Xu Ping.
Xu Ping sighed, there was no way, he raised his legs and walked out of the house.
Lin Suniang is pregnant with her second child, and her belly is slowly starting to grow up these days. Mother Zhang Sanniang was looking forward to holding her grandson, and she watched her daughter-in-law so tightly that she didn't even let her go one step more.
In this way, Panpan Pingkong has a lot less care, and pesters Xu Ping whenever he has time.
Xu Ping supports such a big family alone, with public and private affairs, where does he have too much time to accompany his daughter? I can only take the time to come back early when the yamen is not busy, and accompany her, but when it comes to holidays, I don't have time.
When he went out, Liu Xiaoyi had already waited outside the door, waiting for Xu Ping to get on the horse, and took a few Zhuang guests to follow on horseback.
Wang Su's newly bought Zhuangzi is in the west of Kaifeng City, between the new point shop and the octagonal shop, under the management of Xiangfu County. Octagonal shop because of the ground should be rushed, Bianhe waterway and Liangjingyi Road all pass here, extremely prosperous, has been promoted to a town, similar to Baisha Town.
In this Zhuangzi, Wang Su did everything according to Xu Pingzhongmu's Zhuangzi, and it took a lot of effort. Zhuangzi is much closer to the lockdown city, and the land price is naturally a lot more expensive, only more than 300 hectares, which is naturally incomparable with Xu Ping's 10,000 hectares of Zhuangzi. However, Xu Ping bought the abandoned wasteland of Chunzejian, and the cost of reclamation was much higher, so Wang Su's Zhuangzi was not so troublesome.
At this time, it is the tail of spring, the wild flowers are full of flowers, the grass and trees are luxuriant, as soon as you leave the Liangjing Post Road by the Bianhe River, turn to the path to Wang Su Zhuangzi, the bright spring light will come to your face.
Xu Ping took a deep breath and looked at the picturesque fields around him, and a cheerful feeling came to his heart. Whenever I am in this boundless wilderness, there is always a sense of peace of mind. Perhaps, this is where they belong. However, for life, the destination is often out of reach.
The horses' hooves tread briskly on the grass on the road, a few pheasants flew up from time to time on the side of the road, egrets flying from afar in the sky were circling, and there were roe deer looking at themselves stupidly in the distance.
Since returning to the capital, it has been a long time since he has been so freely immersed in the scenery of the wilderness, and Xu Ping himself is about to forget that feeling. The capital is prosperous, but the blind prosperity is sometimes boring, occasionally to this high ground and wide place to relax, in order to truly appreciate the beauty of the world.
rode a horse and walked straight for more than an hour before arriving in front of Wang Su's village.
Looking at the huge courtyard built of blue bricks and gray tiles in front of him, just like his manor in Zhongmu, and even the slurry water for building the house has not dried out, Xu Ping couldn't help but smile.
The color of the building at this time is different from that of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, the palace is not a yellow roof and red wall, but a green tile and white wall, less red and purple, and more delicate and elegant. Folk houses are also influenced by this style, and the overall is more elegant, beautiful and restrained. This style, coupled with Xu Ping's ambition when he founded the village, gave him a strange ruggedness and boldness, and Wang Su's Zhuangzi inherited this style.
In front of the village, a villager had already come to salute and greet, led the horse to the manger, and asked Xu Ping to wait in the flower hall, and he took the post and ran in to report it.
It didn't take long for Wang Su to come out quickly from behind, to the flower hall, and bowed his hand to Xu Ping: "Yunxing came early, I am preparing manpower here." And eat a cup of tea, and help me with the staff. ”
Xu Ping got up and saluted back: "Zhongyi doesn't need to be polite to me, just busy himself." By the way, did anyone else come? ”
"You're the first, where else are you so fast?"
Xu Ping said: "Also, I live closest to here, and they are all farther away." ”
After a few polite words, Xu Ping took a few sips of tea, and then followed Wang Su to the courtyard.
At this time, dozens of villagers had gathered in the courtyard, all dressed in short clothes, with their trouser legs pulled up high, ready to go to the field.
Xu Ping saw that these people were skillful, not like they were new hands, and asked Wang Su curiously: "Zhongyi, where did you recruit these villagers?" They all seem to be skilled veterans, but it's not easy. ”
"I came from Suizhou, where I also opened a field service a few years ago, but it was not properly managed, and it couldn't be done last year. These people turned out to be passers-by from Kuizhou, who were recruited to Suizhou because of the disaster at home and went down the Yangtze River to make a living. After Suizhou's camp and field affairs were closed, they were displaced for a while, and the Yamen of the Jingxi Road Transfer Division asked them to transfer to Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Xu Ping nodded, knowing that Wang Su had used his family connections to recruit these rice growers to come. The current Jingxi Road transfer envoy is Wang Su's brother Wang Yong, with his help, the transfer department yamen will help find someone else, where dare to think of such a good thing? When Xu Pingzhuang started planting rice, I don't know how much effort it took to find a few who could plant, where could I recruit in groups like this? That's something you can't even think about.
