Chapter 1023 Don't Make Noise, I'm Walking
Qin Xiao opened his mouth to explain, but when he noticed the old woman's eyes, his heart moved slightly and he didn't say anything.
"Mr. Qin wants to get married?"
Qin Xiao smiled, "It was just Brother Liu's joke just now."
He only said it was someone else's joke, but avoided answering the Queen Mother's question. Neither admitted nor denied.
Something floated in the empress dowager's faint eyes, which wrapped the light color in it, making it hard to see clearly. Then he turned his head and took his gaze away from Qin Xiao.
"Mr. Qin has been a soldier all his life, and has made a lot of contributions to our Nanling Dynasty. Now Nanling is peaceful and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Mr. Qin is also responsible for it. Since you have disarmed and stayed in the capital, there is nothing wrong with wanting to find someone to settle down. If Mr. Qin It is intentional. After returning to the capital, the Ai family can take care of Mr. Qin and choose someone from the noble daughters of the family. Although you are almost sixty years old, it is not difficult to find someone based on your status. As for the little widow or something You have to pay attention, if you are not worthy of the status of Elder Qin, if you take him back, you will only be laughed at, and Elder Qin will become the laughing stock of your colleagues in the court."
She spoke a lot in one breath, and her tone seemed flat without any special emotion, but if you listen carefully, you will find that her words are a bit messy and inexplicably stiff.
Mrs. Liu didn't listen so carefully, she only knew that the old lady had said a long paragraph, and she exclaimed, "Usually, I can speak as short as I can, as if it costs money to say a few more words. It's really rare to hear It would be great if you can talk like this for a long time in one breath, and it would be interesting to chat like that."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the Empress Dowager and then at Qin Xiao, nodded knowingly, "Elder Qin has made a lot of contributions to Nanling, and escorted you all the way to Xinghua Village, you should treat him better and think about him. "
The empress dowager's face continued to flush when she was told, and her eyes, which had been calm and calm, fluctuated. She couldn't help but grow angry, and she stared at Mrs. Liu and was about to refute.
Leng Buding was pulled forward by the old woman and ran two steps forward, interrupting everything she wanted to say.
"Here we are, here it is. Starting from the second field from the front, the left and right sides are the fields of our Liu family. Oh, Zhixia and Zhiqiu are already throwing seedlings, I have to help." The old woman said in a hurry. While talking, the man had already started to walk towards the field ridge, and he did not forget to tell the old woman who was still standing on the side of the road, "The field ridge below is relatively narrow, so don't go down wearing brocade clothes, so as not to get your clothes dirty. Besides, I am also afraid of your feet." Slip and fall, and the empress dowager's face will be lost."
The old woman stepped on the narrow field ridge without slowing down, and unexpectedly walked steadily, as if walking on flat ground.
The empress dowager stared at the back of the old woman, her dark eyes sparkling with anger. If she really regarded her as the empress dowager, she wouldn't dare to speak to her like that!
Fortunately, she ran away as soon as she finished speaking. She was a thief, and left herself on the side of the road.
"It's here, I'll go down and get busy too," Mr. Liu and Qin Xiao also caught up from behind, but they didn't let Qin Xiao sit around, "Take off your shoes and go to the field with me to help you go, old man, if you just stand If you watch from the side, you will be laughed at."
Qin Xiao really left his shoes on the side of the road, and walked barefoot into the field, without any pretensions of a general, "You dragged me here because you wanted my help."
The old man and the old woman didn't intend to let him go from the beginning, otherwise they couldn't have pulled the empress dowager over.
To him, that was like hanging his favorite carrot in front of a donkey, can the donkey not be led by the nose?
The old couple are both smart.
Mr. Liu heard Qin Xiao complaining, and laughed, "Our family has more than ten acres of land, even if we have so many people, it will take two or three days to finish the work. We have to fight for time during spring sowing, and the laborers who can work at home It must be dispatched together. The faster the plants are planted, the better the seedlings will survive."
Many villagers in the surrounding fields have already started planting rice seedlings. Listening to the two people talking, they inserted it with a loud smile, "The seedlings are planted during the spring sowing, and the harvest will be good during the autumn harvest. At that time, it is the happiest time. .”
"Although we now have enough food and clothing in our village, no one is willing to lose the work in the fields, especially the rice fields. Mr. Qin has eaten rice in Xinghua Village, right? Is it better than eating in other places? It’s much more delicious? Just wash this, and we have to serve the seedlings finely.”
"That's right, I'm used to the rice we grow ourselves, but I can't get used to the rice sold outside. My little grandson even yelled, let the family get two more paddy fields, saying that it needs to be more variety."
"How else would those guys in Xiapo Village divert water from us? It's just for greed."
The roar of laughter resounded throughout the Qinghe River, alarming the people on the other side of the river. They vaguely heard the conversation here, and yelled this way at the top of their voices.
The people in the two villages were separated by a Qinghe River, and they chatted passionately, laughing and cursing constantly, and the excitement and joy were extremely contagious.
The little anger in the Empress Dowager's heart dissipated unconsciously in such an atmosphere. Looking around the entire field, she saw busy figures, everyone with a smile on their faces. They are indeed working hard, but they are also happy in this kind of work.
Because there is hope for life.
Such a vivid expression was completely different from the numbness and emptiness she had seen a lot in the palace.
She has been honored all her life and enjoyed the scenery that ordinary people can't even dream of, but at this moment, she is actually envious of these people in front of her.
Coarse gray clothes, muddy, but can laugh wantonly.
The sky is sunny and warm, the soft golden light falls on the fields, and the wind blows from the front, bringing the fragrance of the soil in the rice fields, all of which are the breath of life.
Accompanied by the ups and downs of laughter, interspersed with the immature shouts of the children, the empress dowager unconsciously softened her expression.
Seeing Mrs. Liu and others busy in the field, she walked over unconsciously.
The embroidered soles stepped on the field ridge, which was barely wide enough for her feet. It was indeed extremely narrow, but the substantial feeling of stepping on the soft soil made her feel inexplicably happy.
A fresh excitement that has never been seen before suddenly hits my heart, and I just feel like I can't stop.
"Ouch! Why did you come down? Look at the hem of your skirt, it's covered in mud!" The old woman in the field glanced at the swaying figure, her eyebrows twitched, and then she laughed, "Forget it Yes, it’s dirty, just go back and wash it, do you want to help? You don’t know how to transplant rice seedlings, so you can help throw rice seedlings on the edge of the field! This is the easiest.”
"Don't make noise, I'm walking, and you're blah blah blah, in case I accidentally fall, I'm the only one asking!" Eyes fixed on the narrow field ridge in front of her, the empress dowager He took every step cautiously, with a nervous and excited look on his face.
