Before coming, Dong Xueqing's summer life in the Grange was a small bridge and flowing water, boating on the water, playing the piano and flute under the tree, and watering flowers and smelling fragrance in the courtyard.But what she saw now was a rough wooden house, and the sound of chickens and ducks could be faintly heard, but there was a stream of water, but the water in the river was only up to the knees, and the riverbed was exposed in some places, and a few simple wooden bridges made of thick wood, and under the bridge, there were a few children holding their trouser legs and giggling to catch fish.Further afield, there is a large field with no edge in sight, revealing the dry land due to lack of water because of the grain that has just been harvested.Occasionally, the wind rises, rolling up a layer of dust and blowing it head-on.It wasn't at all like the rural life she had envisioned.Dong Xueqing stood in place and experienced for the first time what it means to cry without tears.What kind of escape is this?
Fu Yuheng led Wei Xi over, "Xueqing, the house in the grange is a little nervous, so you live in the same courtyard with us." ”Dong Xueqing came back to her senses, restrained her mind on the verge of collapse, and lowered her head to bless her body, "Yes, Aunt Fu." ”Fu Yuheng first instructed Mama Rong to lead the maids to collect the luggage, and then looked down at Wei Xi, who was looking around, "What do you think of this place?"
”"Very good," Wei Xi said very satisfied, "simple and natural, very much to my liking." ”"That's good," Fu Yuheng couldn't help laughing and smoothed his little daughter's hair, "Mother guesses you'll like it." ”Dong Xueqing: "Are you two devils?
What the hell is good about this place?"
Xueqing, I'm tired of taking the car all the way, let's go to the house to rest for a while, and when the meal is ready, I'll ask Mama Rong to call you."
As soon as Fu Yuheng's words fell, a little maid walked up to Dong Xueqing, "Miss Dong, your room is here, please come with the slave." ”"There is labor."
When the people left, Fu Yuheng took Wei Xi to the main room, and explained as he walked, "There will be a grange steward to come to visit, he is most familiar with all the things in this grange, Xi'er, you can directly order him to do something if you have something."
Also, the leader of the government soldiers will also come, and my mother will hand over the command of these 100 people to you later. ”Wei Xi nodded without showing any timidity, "Yes, mother." ”Mama Rong took the maids to tidy up the house and boil tea, and as soon as it was boiled and served, a voice came from outside the main room: "The grange steward Futian, the deputy steward of the grange Fugui, came to meet Mrs. and the second lady." ”Fu Yuheng nodded at Mama Rong.Mama Rong walked out, and when she came in again, she was already followed by two middle-aged men with tanned skin.When he entered the door, he knelt on the ground, "Futian Fugui has seen Mrs., Second Miss." ”Fu Yuheng took a sip of tea, glanced at the two kneeling on the ground, and raised his hand, "Get up." ”"Mrs.
Xie.""
You two should have heard that this Zhuangzi is now owned by your second young lady, let's talk about what you are responsible for first?""
Yes, ma'am."
Hearing that this was to ask them to report to the new master, Futian and Fugui turned sideways slightly, facing Wei Xi's direction.Futian spoke first: "Second Miss, the younger one is the chief steward of this grange, who is mainly responsible for managing all matters related to the field, including grain sowing and harvesting, farm tool procurement, and tenant farmer management.Oh, by the way, a few days ago, you ordered Feng Lao and the others to send all the utensils, and the small one was stored in a separate yard, and the yard was not far behind. ”Wei Xi nodded, "Okay, I'll go over and see later." ”After speaking, his eyes fell on Fugui again.Fugui hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Second Miss, the younger one is the second steward of the Grange."
The main responsible work is a bit miscellaneous, from the distribution of the work of the servants of the grange, the feeding of livestock such as chickens and ducks, to the repair of the house, and the purchase of some necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, needles, threads, etc. ”"Hmm."
The two of them spoke in detail, Wei Xi understood almost everything, and directly assigned tasks to the two without any ambiguity."
Fukuda.""
The little ones are here.""
I want you to find about three acres of farmland, which must be close to the water source, and the surrounding area must ensure that the sun is hot at noon, and the field does not shine.In addition, keep plenty of light in the morning and afternoon.This condition must be met, and can it be done?
”After a moment of silence in the main hall, Fukuda clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Second Miss, don't worry, the little one will go and find it." ”"Well, as soon as possible!"
Fukuda retreated, and the remaining Fugui quietly wiped the sweat from his forehead."
Fugui.""
Small, small, second miss just ask.""
I want you to go and collect the manure of chickens, ducks and other livestock as soon as possible for three acres of land.Remember, it's the amount that can cover at least an inch of three acres of land.Of course, more words would be better, but definitely not less than I said. ”"Yes, yes, the little one understands."
Another one with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Fu Yuheng didn't speak the whole time, and couldn't help laughing when everyone left, "It seems that this Futian Fugui has been living comfortably in the grange for too long, and this time he is scared!"
”Wei Xi raised his head and drank a cup of tea, "Don't you think the conditions I said are harsh?"
”"The master has a command, and his subordinates must obey it."
Fu Yuheng had the foresight to change into light clothes before he came, this would not be in the house, and he even raised Erlang's legs leisurely, "If you can't do it, it means it's useless." ”Wei Xi looked at her mother's heroic action, and said decisively: "My mother is reasonable. ”Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.Not long after, another footstep sounded in the courtyard."
The captain of the third team, Wei San, asks to see him.""
Come in."
Knowing that it was the soldiers of the Wei family who came this time, Wei Xi thought that what he saw would be a fierce man walking like a dragon, but he didn't expect to see a young man who couldn't hide his temper even if he was wearing a short waist and carrying a long knife.The person who came to the front of the hall and knelt down on one knee, "Wei San has seen Madame, Second Miss." ”Fu Yuheng smiled at his little daughter, who looked a little surprised, and stretched out his hand to lift it slightly, "Get up." ”"Mrs.
Xie."
Wei San got up, looked up and glanced in Wei Xi's direction without a trace.Fu Yuheng coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Wei San, I have an extremely important task to transfer you and a hundred of your subordinates this time.From now on, I will give full authority to Xi'er for the command of your team. ”"Yes, ma'am."
Wei San immediately turned to Wei Xi's direction and bowed, "What does the second young lady command, just tell Wei San."
But there is a life, and there is no resignation. ”Wei Xi bowed his head and said, "Wei San, you go to Fugui, the second housekeeper of the village, first, and ask him to settle all of you."
Don't forget to tell Fugui that you will have to stay in this grange for the rest of the year.In the afternoon, before the application time, gather outside the hospital. ”"Yes, Second Miss.""
Stand down."
As soon as the person left, Wei Xi turned his head to meet her mother's smiling gaze."
Isn't it a little surprising to this Weisan?""
Well, it looks different from what my daughter imagined, this Wei San is more like a scholar than a soldier."
Fu Yuheng's fingers pressed the corners of his lips that curved upward, "This Wei San is the most handsome of the ten captains."
Mother can't always choose a tiger-backed bear waist and bearded face to follow Xi'er, and besides, I will often see people in the future, so I have to choose the most eye-catching one, right?
”Wei Xi: "Mother, you are so strong, does Dad know?
As if seeing Wei Xi's speechlessness, Fu Yuheng raised his eyebrows, "Xi'er thinks what my mother said is wrong?"
”"Where can it be," Wei Xi waved his hand hurriedly, "I also think that my mother has chosen this person, which is very good, and even wins the heart of her daughter." ”Everyone in the hall: ""They didn't hear anything.
