One. It's old

Coming out of Beizhen Fusi, the silent drama is over, and the beauty of the city in the back is good. Naturally, it was not his turn to do it, so if I thought about it, it would be okay to go out of the city early and bring my wife and children back.

Because he had a premonition that there would be chaos in Beijing, he sent his family to a farm on the outskirts of Beijing one step earlier, "It was bought silently." There are more than 500 acres of land, a small manor for more than 300 people in the house. At that time, no one understood his behavior, and the capital was prosperous, so what could not be bought? Is it self-sufficient?

Shen Mo explained to them that it was worth the expense to grow and raise their own things, eat at ease, and to accommodate some of the guards' families. When he said this, naturally no one raised any objections, and the manor was put down from the scene, and it has been in business for more than a year, and the house has also eaten the grains, meat, eggs and vegetables sent by Zhuangzi one after another, which are indeed more delicious than those bought on the market, and they praise the old man for his kindness.

But only Ruohan knows, silently run this suburban manor, the most real purpose, is actually to build a place to stay in Beijing with a righteous light, once there is something in the capital, the whole family will move out, in the worst case, you can also take your own car and horse fast horse, half a day to Tanggukou, where there is a perennial moored state-of-the-art fast boat, can carry them to escape.

Two days before the clan rebelled in the capital, Shen Mo sent his wife and children to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing. He became a naked official, and now that the turmoil has passed, he naturally wants to take them back.

Out of Beijing, thanks to the effective work of Zhang Taiyue and Lin Ruoyu, there are not many victims in sight.

Two new heavy snowfalls have completely covered up the human tragedy, and we will have to wait until next year when the snow melts to show some traces again.

Walking in such a quiet suburb of Beijing, even if it is a sunny day, there will be no "snow needs to be clear, and plum is fragrant everywhere." 's brisk feeling, on the contrary, is the white expanse between heaven and earth, which makes Shen Mo have an ominous feeling of white flags everywhere and mountains and rivers mourning.

"What's wrong with me? , he closed the window. Reaching out and touching his cheeks, there was a damp feeling, like tears flowing through the net. "How did you become so negative? Shen Mo noticed his abnormality and shook his head, hoping to drive him away, not wanting to bring this emotion to his family.

The carriage slowly drove into a village backed by a river next to the official road, and the outside of the village was planted with willow trees. The whole Zhuangzi is covered in silver, the willow branches are crystal clear, and there are plum blossoms in full bloom, making this snowy world seem less monotonous.

The road leading to Zhuangkou is paved with cinders, people and horses can walk on it with confidence, there is a wooden fence at Zhuangkou, and there are soldiers who guard the door, but as soon as they see the golden lotus badge hanging on the front of the car, they quickly open the door and let their group in.

The carriage drove straight to the center of the estate. There are a few whitewashed and tiled houses, surrounded by pine trees, pat trees and bamboo, and snow hail smeared on the pine pat and pruned bamboo, although there is no gentle wedding in the south of the Yangtze River, but the elegance and tranquility are better.

There was also a pool in front of the house, which was now full of ice, and a dozen children were playing on it, and from time to time some children fell, but no one cried their noses, and they all got up and continued to play the game of selflessness.

Shen Mo got out of the carriage, and in a group of drooping mane, he saw his two sons at a glance. Aji was wearing a blue silk cotton jacket, very much wearing a blue silk jacket, and the difference between him and a group of children wearing cloth cotton jackets was still uncertain.

The children were so engaged in their play that they didn't notice that someone was coming, and they didn't interrupt them silently, but they just smiled and watched from the sidelines, and after a while, they saw some clues, and it turned out that the dozen or so children were not playing blindly, but imitating the battle between the two armies" They worked in pairs, one of them sat on a wooden cabinet with a rope attached to it, and let the other person pull it and slide on the ice, like a knight on the battlefield. And these people seem to be divided into two groups, one group with white cloth wrapped around their arms, and the other group with green cloth wrapped around their arms, and the number of people on both sides is equal.

Seeing the children playing enthusiastically, Shen Mo didn't feel anything wrong, so he stood not far away and watched with a smile. When the two sides were fighting, a child ran out of the bamboo forest and shouted, "Grandma is back!" The children froze all of a sudden, and then Aji said loudly: "What's the panic, close the team!" Shifen also said: "Hurry home." So the children scattered like birds and beasts, and they didn't even want "skating boards."

Aji and Shiwen ran to the main house, Shen Mo happened to be on their way, the two children saw him at once, first happy, then gritted their teeth, and then longed for the house to drill, but was grabbed by Shen Mo one by one, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, what did you run when you saw your father?" ”

"My mother is coming back, and seeing that we are not studying, we will play the board." usually flattered and said, "Dad, you won't tell the truth." ”

"This" Shen Mo saw Ruohan and Rou Niang, surrounded by a group of servant women and maids. has appeared not far away, and said with a smile: "Look at the performance." ”

"As long as you don't say anything, let's do anything." The two children begged as they shook his hand.

"Really?" Shen asked with a smile, seeing that the two children couldn't stop nodding, he pointed to the study and said: "Go and copy the "Thousand Character Text" twice, I will check it after dinner, and I will also have to play the book and add concave clams

"Ah" Ajihe said with a very wrinkled face, "Dad, it's not so cruel." ”

Seeing that Ruohan had already walked to him. Shen Mo smiled: "Okay, I won't hide it for you."

"Okay," the two children agreed aggrievedly.

Under the cover of silence, Zai Ji and Shifen finally escaped and obediently went back to the study to read.

In fact, Ruohan's eyes are like torches, and when he sees the mess on the pond, he knows what is happening. Just to give face to silence; And the two children have been doing well recently, they have studied hard and know that they respect Mr., so she just opened her eyes and closed her eyes.

"What did you do just now?" Go back to the room. Ji Mo leaned on the cannon, saw Ruohan washing his hands carefully, and asked curiously, "Why do you still have mud on your hands?"

"They said that there are still greens and flowers in our manor in winter." Ruohan wiped a delicate small porcelain bottle with a soft white towel, gently picked a little jade-colored paste with his little finger, gently moistened his hands, and said: "I'm curious to go and see what Shen Mo knew that what she said was a greenhouse built by herself on the vacant land in Houzhuang, Ruohan grew in the warm south, naturally I haven't seen anything called greenhouse cultivation, so I heard her sigh in surprise: "I can't imagine that in the cold winter, ice and snow in the north, you can see green vegetables and blooming flowers; It's amazing

"This is not a new thing" Shen Mo smiled: "During the period of Qin Shi Huang, it was convenient to use geothermal heat to grow melons and fruits at the hot springs of Liaoshan; In the Western Han Dynasty, the rich people were able to enjoy the "winter Cai Wen leek." The so-called "hollyhock warm leek." It is a vegetable cultivated in a greenhouse, of course, it was not called a greenhouse at that time, but a "house of four o'clock."

"Really?" Ruohan said with interest: "Do you still use the method of the Han Dynasty now?"

"Of course not." Shen Mo shook his head. He smiled and said: "From the original Qin Dynasty when hot springs were used for geothermal heat, to the Western Han Dynasty used stoves for heating; and then to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Heating in the underground fire tunnel is another big progress. to this day. It's already a lot of tricks, and it's thrifty. He stretched out three fingers and said: "There are three types of greenhouses now, the first is the simplest cellar type, there is no heating facility, only relying on the insulation of the cellar and the heat released by the fermentation of horse manure to keep warm, the biggest advantage is that the cost is low, but the insulation effect is unsatisfactory; The second type is the cellar fire type, which has a seedbed and a fire pit under the bed. It can be heated by fire, and it is generally cultivated with horse manure. The effect is much better, of course, it is more expensive; The third type, which we use, is the most advanced technology today, which I call "the earthen wall opening paper window fire style."

Silently licked his somewhat dry lips. "As you can see, greenhouse." The seedbed and fire pit are exactly the same as the second type, except that the east, north, and west walls block the wind, and the south side has an inclined painted paper window. In this way, it is possible to change the disadvantage of the cellar without windy days, and it can not only make full use of the heat of the sun, but also heat the fire, which is definitely the most advanced. ”

"The champion is really amazing." Ruohan smiled and made a cup of tea for him and said, "Even the work of the farmer understands it so well. ”

"That's" Shen Mo took a sip of tea, squeezed her little hand and said, "I don't see who your husband is."

"Sir, I've always wanted to ask you, why are you so interested in all this farm work?" Ruohan let him hold it, but he asked a question: "Our family has been five generations, but there is no one who is farming."

"Heh" smiled silently and vaguely: "Hobby, a." People are hobbies, Tang Bohu can grow peach blossoms, can't I plant greenhouses? .

"This hobby is quite peculiar" Ruohan never interfered with silent things, just be curious, and said: "But in the conservatory, how can I see a lot of unnamed flowers and plants, fruits and vegetables?" When I asked the women, they said it was your baby, but they didn't know what it was called. ”

"Well," said Shen Mo with a smile, "they are not Middle-earth crops, but they have come across the ocean." I worked hard to get it, and I'm trying to cultivate it, of course I want a baby," he said proudly: "Don't look at them as inconspicuous things, but they will definitely rewrite the history of agriculture in my Ming Dynasty!" ”

The concubine waited and waited, looking forward to eating the "discarded fruits and vegetables" you planted as soon as possible. Finish. Ruohan smiled sweetly and changed the subject: "Is the matter in Jingli over?" ”

"It's over." Shen Mo hugged her waist, sniffed the fragrance on his wife's body and said, "In the past two days, there has been such a mess in Beijing, and the yamen of the Ministry of Rites has been smashed." ”

Ah Ruohan stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and said, "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

"What do you say?" Shen Mo smiled and said, "What can I do." ”

Ruohan straightened up and looked him up and down. Seeing that he had all his beards and tails, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Alas, why do the six yamen dare to smash it." These clans are really lawless. ”

Yes, Shen smiled silently: "But now it's okay, it's all honest, and the world will be pure." "It is said that since Lin Run went to the book, Shen Mo has been harassed by the clan in turn, not to mention the physical and mental exhaustion, and the anger has grown a lot.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

Because it was a short winter, it was too late to return to the capital, so I had to stay in the manor for a night. We'll start again tomorrow morning.

The silence is really tiring, and the body... The little dog is good, and Ruohan talked about it, so he went upstairs, and when he was woken up, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and it was time to eat.

Stretch out, and your body is really much looser. Shen Mo came out of the front hall wearing a sheepskin coat, and saw his wife and children already sitting around, and the three children were waiting for him.

Shen Mo walked to the main seat and sat down, Rou Niang brought him warm water, he washed sideways and measured the sumptuous meals on the table, a yellow lan meat, braised lamb leg, mushroom stewed pheasant, winter insect turtle soup, boiled black bear fish, and some big bowls of stew, a table full of them, no wonder the three boys were hungry like that, and couldn't help laughing: "Heh, the food is so good?" ”

"Zhuang Li knows that the eldest master is back" Ruohan said with a smile while serving a meal to Ren's child: "Still not working hard to flatter?" For this meal, the sisters-in-law took a hard time. ”

The wife of Tiezhu over there, the steward of this farm, Wang came up with a pot of golden pumpkin pie, listened to Ruohan's words, and said with a smile: "Look at what Grandma said, they are all vulgar things." It's cold and there's nothing to eat on this day, and it's kindness if the lord doesn't dislike it. ”

"Sister-in-law, where is it" Shen Mo smiled: "What a sumptuous banquet, it can't be any better, pick up the wine jug on the table, open the lid and smell it." Surprised: "It's very mellow."

This is the self-brewed multigrain wine in Zhuangzi that won the praise of Shen Mo, and Wang said happily:

"Sir, let's make do with it."

Shen Mo nodded and smiled, and asked her to sit down and eat together, Wang quickly said that he was still busy, so he retreated with interest.

Take a look at a few. The little guy who was so anxious that he was stunned silently stretched out his chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of scrambled eggs with green onions, put them on his plate, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the three children looked at their mothers again, and after seeing Ruohan nodding, they couldn't help cheering" and then crackled.

Children like to eat meat, especially at home, where cooking is usually light, and today they can finally feast, but for Shen Mo. It's just too greasy. In addition, I lost my appetite today, so I chose some vegetarian dishes and pickles to drink.

After a while, he found that Ruohan didn't eat much food, so he asked with concern, "Too tired?" ”

Ruohan's jaw said: "I can't see greasy recently." ”

"Let's fry a few lighter ones in the kitchen, Rou Niang said softly.

"Forget it, people have been busy all afternoon" Ruohan shook his head and smiled: "I'll eat some fruit and drink it, and the soup will be ready." ”

Shen Mo also said forget it, so he forgot it.

So the family continued to eat, and during the banquet, Aji and He were very attentive, taking turns pouring wine for Shen Mo. Seeing Ruohan's relief, my heart said that I had really grown up.

After eating a meal, Aji and Shishi wiped their mouths and wanted to slip away, but they were stopped by a slightly drunk silence: "Do you think it's okay to get me drunk?"

The two children stood still, looked back and said, "Dad, we're going back to get your homework to show you." ”

"Really?" Shen Mo smiled and said, "Go and come back quickly." The two children ran out.

"What's the matter?" Ruohan saw that this grandfather had a ghost and asked.

"Don't ask, it's a matter of men." Shen Mo pinched the wine glass and said with a smile: "Withdraw the banquet, save Ruohan from looking uncomfortable." So Rou Niang invited them into the back room, and she called someone to come in and clean up the meal.

The two of them led the usual into the house, and they didn't want to go to the kang after eating. He sat down by the stove. Her own maid made a pot of good incense slices and brought a plate of assorted dried fruits. Ruohan recorded peanuts and fed them to him, and said to Shen Mo: "It's not me saying that you, treating a kid who has not dried up as an adult is a mistake in itself. ”

"That's not necessarily," Shen Mo pouted and smiled: "My Shen education method will definitely succeed." ”

"I don't allow you to experiment with your own children," Ruohan said angrily: "You will regret ruining your child for the rest of your life." ”

"Impossible" Shen Mo smiled: "I don't dare to say other people's children, but my son is what I watched grow up, so I will eat this set, I don't believe you will see,"

Ruohan suddenly said, "Why haven't you come back after going for so long?" "The study is next door to the main house, and it's a matter of time to go back and forth.

Shen Mo took a sip of fragrant tea and said, "Can't you go to a thatched house or something?" Ate so much. ”

"Impossible," Ruohan said, "There must be something going to come out of the moth again."

"They haven't finished writing," Usually who was leaning on Ruohan's side and playing, suddenly said, "Just playing."

"What?. Ruohan and Shen Mo asked together.

usually flashed his big eyes, looked at the two of them innocently and whispered, "They are still discussing." Take the original word to pass the test. ”

"I'll say it," Ruohan nodded angrily, "This is your education method."

Don't worry, I called them over to ask Shen Mo was also depressed, and after speaking, he got up again and said, "Forget it, I'll go over and take a look." ”

"I'll go with you." Ruohan said: "This time it must not be tolerated. The two of them went out of the main house with great momentum, and happened to meet the two sons who came out of the study.

I saw that they all had manuscript paper in their hands. Ruohan's face darkened suddenly, and he couldn't laugh anymore, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the house." (To be continued)
