Ma Yun couldn't help but look at her son with a smile, and joked with a smile: "Okay, son, when did you learn to be a hero and save beauty." ”

Liu Yu was just a child, he was worried that Ma Yun would be further punished, but now when he saw his mother laughing, his aggrieved mood was swept away, and he said mischievously: "What is saving beauty, it is clearly saving ugliness, they have laughed at Ugly every day since the beginning of school, and today it is even more excessive, they actually caught a mouse and put it in Ugly's desk." ”

When Ma Yun heard the word "mouse", she suddenly had goosebumps, thinking that she was afraid of even seeing it, but it was difficult for the little girl to be ugly, so she couldn't help but ask nervously: "Ugly is going to be frightened when he sees a mouse." ”

Liu Yu straightened his small chest and said proudly: "No, if I hadn't helped her get rid of the mice, she would still be crying." ”

Ma Yun's face suddenly sank, and said, "It's okay if the rats run away, why do you want to beat them again." ”

Liu Yu said with a face full of grievances: "Mother, you said that rats are a bad thing, stealing food, and spreading diseases, I chased after it and smashed it to death with a brick, and then they scolded me and asked me to compensate. ”

Ma Yun knew that his son had a lot of strength since he was a child, and if he really beat those children, I was afraid that something would happen, but he also believed Liu Yu's words, so he nodded and said: "Anyway, you can help the weak and act bravely, my mother is still very happy, but it is your fault to beat your classmates, you don't go to class these days, do you take care of your younger brothers and sisters at home, or go outside with your mother." ”

Liu Yu didn't even think about it, so he chose to go out for a walk with Ma Yun, his younger brothers and sisters have aunts to take care of, he might as well follow Ma Yun out for a long time, in fact, Ma Yun also knows that today's incident is not Liu Yu's fault alone, if you blindly scold him and lock him up at home to take care of him, I'm afraid it will backfire, although Liu Yu has not yet reached the rebellious period, but he also began to have his own ideas, give him a chance to choose, but also respect for the child, how can such a big child not be playful, Liu Yu naturally chose to go out for a walk with Ma Yun, and Ma Yun was also willing to take him to see the outside world.

Early the next morning, Ma Yun took Liu Yu into the carriage, escorted by Dian Wei and a team of guards out of Xiangyang City, although when interrogating Yu Ji yesterday, he swore that it would rain in three days, but Ma Yun was still not at ease, she wanted to go to the suburbs to see, what was the situation in the farmland,

Out of Xiangyang City, the fields are already full of people who work, it is their eternal law of life to work and work, and it is their eternal law of life to rest, and the drought in the field is not as serious as imagined, although it has not rained, but the water conservancy facilities have played a huge role, and the growth of wheat seedlings has hardly been affected in any way, but the labor intensity of the farmers has increased significantly, because the ditch can only lead the water in the river to the field, and then water the crops, which needs to be completed by the farmers through manpower.

Liu Yu usually doesn't have much chance to go out, at most when the weather is good, he can play with his younger brothers and sisters in the garden of the state pastoral mansion, along the way, everything he sees feels fresh, and he always pulls Ma Yun to ask this and that, suddenly, Liu Yu clapped his little hands, pointed to the field, and said excitedly: "Mother, look, that horse is so strange, with two curved horns on its head." ”

Ma Yun looked in the direction of his finger, it turned out to be a buffalo, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then felt a little sad, he and Liu Xin were too busy, usually the children could only stay in the house, and there were no literacy pictures or anything like that, Liu Yu was eight years old, and he didn't even know the buffalo, so it seemed that he would have to spend more time with the children in the future.

He didn't go far, Liu Yu suddenly became anxious and said, "Mother, look, look, how those people pulled up all the crops in the field." ”

Ma Yun glanced at it and said with a smile: "They are not pulling out crops, but weeds in the field, these weeds will compete with crops for water and fertilizer, affecting the growth of crops, so they must be pulled out, Yu'er, farmers and uncles are not working hard to plant the land." ”

Liu Yu tilted his head and thought about it and said, "Hard work." ”

Ma Yun reached out and touched his head, and said with satisfaction: "Yes, they are very hard, the rice and steamed buns we eat are inseparable from their hard work, so we can't have a trace of waste, there is a poem you have to remember: hoe He said that afternoon, sweat drops of grass into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food, the grains are hard." ”

Liu Yu blinked his eyes, listened carefully to Ma Yun finishing the poem, nodded seriously, and asked, "Mother, did you write this poem?" ”

Ma Yun shook his head and said, "I didn't write it, I heard an old farmer sing it, so I wrote it down." ”

This poem was written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shen, when he was young, he did feel sympathy and indignation for the peasants who were working hard and could not have food and clothing, but after he became an official, he gradually transformed into a person who spent all his time drinking and greedy for pleasure, although this poem was popular in later generations, women and children were well known, telling people to be diligent and thrifty, cherish the hard-won fruits of labor, but his author's character is too poor, so Ma Yun is not willing to mention him, let alone take this poem as his own,

After a half-day inspection, Ma Yun was much relieved and found that agricultural production had not been greatly affected, and what made her even happier was that on the way back to the city, a few dark clouds drifted in the distance, and the sky gradually darkened, and it was really going to rain.

Ma Yun had just stepped into the backyard with her front feet, and the raindrops fell "crackling", and when she learned that Ma Yun's mother and son had returned home, Qiao'er hurriedly greeted her and said, "Madam, there are guests at home." ”

Liu Xin led the army to Luoyang, except for Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and Dian Wei, there is usually no one else in the mansion, Ma Yun was a little strange, so he asked: "Guest, where are the guests." ”

Qiao'er smiled and said, "It's Ugly who is here." ”

Ma Yun said angrily: "It's not the first time that Ugly has come, what's there to make a fuss about." ”

Qiao'er snorted: "Ah Chou is a little different this time. ”

While they were talking, a cute little girl came out of it and shouted at them, "Brother Liu Yu, you are back." ”

Liu Yu touched his head and asked puzzledly, "Who are you, I don't know you." ”

The little girl said embarrassedly, "I'm an ugly." ”

Liu Yu said in surprise: "You are an ugly, why are you not ugly." ”

Ah Chou replied shyly: "People are not ugly in the first place." ”

With the rapid development of Xiangyang City, there are many taverns and teahouses in the city, every time it is time to eat, there will be a full of diners, after a long drought of this heavy rain, the business of the tavern is not only not affected, but more prosperous, three glasses of two light wine under the stomach, the diners have more words,

A fat man listened to the sound of the rain outside, turned his head to the diner who was sitting at the same table with him, and said: "Lao Wang, you said that our state shepherd lady is not a god, she only said yesterday that it will rain within three days, and today it will be fulfilled." ”

The diner named Lao Wang didn't have time to answer, and a tall and thin man on the next table had already picked up the stubble: "But it's not, if you want me to say, Mrs. Zhou Mu is a heavenly immortal, you didn't see it yesterday, a few feet high platform, she jumped up lightly, we happened to be there at the time, we were so frightened that we quickly knelt down, Lord Zhou Mu can marry such a lady, it is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

Hearing this, someone next to him was not happy, and an old scholar stood up and said: "The governor has presided over the construction of so many ditches, that is, it does not rain for several months, and the crops in the field can still be harvested. ”

The fat man couldn't help but scoff: "What do you know, Mrs. Zhou Mu went to the field to see, when is it more appropriate to rain, don't you see, she just returned to the city not long ago, this rain came, obviously she controlled the time of the rain, not only to ensure that the crops are watered, but also not to let herself be drenched in the rain, maybe the idea of the state shepherd to build a ditch was only thought out after listening to Mrs. Madame's words." ”

Only then did Lao Wang find an opportunity to interject: "If you want me to say, Mrs. Zhou Mu is indeed a fairy descending to earth, haven't you heard, the 'Yu Immortal' who cheated on the street yesterday, the thumb-thick hemp rope couldn't bind him, and he was subdued by Mrs. with a small magic weapon." ”

The old pedant blushed, and had to reason with them a few times, the proprietress of the tavern came over and said: "You are all full and have nothing to do, the two of us can judge the two of us, the small people of Shengdou, besides, the state pastor is a descendant of Gaozu, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, whether his wife is a fairy or not is there anything to argue, as long as it can let our people live a good life is the most important thing." ”

The old scholar couldn't help but slap the table and said loudly: "The female shopkeeper said too reasonably, when the floating is white, you people don't want to think about it, if there is no state pastor, it is not one by one to eat and worry about the next meal, how can we sit here today and drink and talk, who can let our people live a good life, is the most important." ”

The fat man clapped his hands and said: "I love to hear this, Lord Zhou Mu has led troops to crusade against Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo for several days, if he can become the emperor, the people in the world will have a good time." ”

The old scholar hurriedly said: "Don't dare to say this, it's going to kill your head." ”

The thin and tall man said nonchalantly: "What's the matter, the notice of Lord Zhou Mu before the expedition has already been said, when Liu Xie and Dong Zhuo are defeated, another Ming monarch will be established, and the lord is also a member of the Han family, why can't he be the emperor, it is better than another faint monarch." ”

The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier, but the enthusiasm of diners to talk about current affairs has not diminished in the slightest.

The state pastor's mansion also held a banquet to entertain the ugly mother and daughter, to say that the food in the state pastor's mansion, the ugly mother and daughter also ate once, but it was not as rich as today's meal, several dishes were cooked by Zhu Qian herself, and she ate such a delicious meal again, Cai Yue finally understood why the little sister always refused to leave the state pastor's mansion, in addition to wanting to marry Liu Xin, the food here is also an irresistible temptation,

Looking at the ugly who was burying her head and eating non-stop, Ma Yun couldn't help laughing, turned her head to Cai Yue and said, "Mrs. Huang, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
