Chapter 33 Zhu Di: Beautiful Wife Becomes a Yellow-Faced Woman? A Bloody Business

Chapter 33 Zhu Di: Beautiful wife becomes a shrew? Don’t do business that will make you lose money!

Small courtyard. Ye Yan)

Under the apricot tree.

Zhu Di fiddled with the plow.

In his previous life, two generations ago he was a peasant. When he went back to the countryside as a child, he saw plows and cultivated land.

He even followed the plowing oxen and mules and had fun.

But the farm tools of the Ming Dynasty were very different from the farm tools he had seen.

For example, this plow!

Let’s not say it’s all made of iron.

At least the shovel head for turning the soil and the plow shovel should be made of iron, right?

The plow shovel in front of him was made of solid elm wood, and was covered with a thin layer of iron sheet.

Even if it was covered with iron sheet, it didn’t cover the entire plow shovel.

It was only covered around the edge.

Looking at the pitiful little circle of iron sheet that had been polished away and turned smooth, Zhu Di shook his head and stood up, muttering, "Productivity is too backward."

If there is a good plow and rhubarb.

A good farmer can plow at least four or five acres of land a day.

Ten acres of land can be plowed in three days at most!

Now...

It's hard to say!

Maybe it will take ten days.

After all, he is a jack of all trades.

Put the plow in place and go back to the house.

The house has a new look.

New furniture has been added.

In front of the window, there is a brand new table.

It was built by Zhu Di himself a few days ago.

In their spare time, they can sit here and read.

Xu Miaoyun sat at the table, lowered her head, and carefully drew a line on a piece of clothing with white mud. When she heard the movement, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Without looking up, she asked, "Are you ready?"

"Okay, we can start anytime!" Zhu Di said with a smile while washing his hands, and turned his head to look...

Then, his brows slightly frowned...

The next second, he didn't even bother to wipe his hands, walked over, stretched out his wet hands, and held Xu Miaoyun's wrist, "You seem to like this dress very much, why do you want to cut it?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled and raised her head, "I have to prepare too. These clothes of mine are OK to wear at home on weekdays."

"But they are not suitable for working in the fields."

Among the clothes brought for marriage, except for the wedding dress.

All the skirts with the hem dragging on the ground were not brought.

Not applicable!

The skirts brought are fine, but the long gowns that reach the knees are still too long, which is not convenient for working in the fields.

It has to be changed into short shirts.

Like the aunts in the village, short shirts with skirts.

"When I was digging wild vegetables before, I asked my second aunt how to plow the land."

"My second aunt said that when you first learn to plow, it will be easier for you to control the direction of the plow in the back and I will hold the rhubarb in the front."

Zhu Di smiled. Of course he knew this. His family had been farmers for two generations.

Taking the scissors from Xu Miaoyun's hand, he smiled and said, "This kind of work in the countryside is not difficult. I can learn it myself and soon master it."

"Our family has only ten acres of land in total. You don't need to go to the fields."

"That won't work!" Xu Miaoyun said stubbornly, "We are one. Since we want to be farmers, I have to learn the work in the fields. If I leave it all to you, you won't be able to handle it."

"Besides, if you do it all, the villagers will say that the eldest daughter of Silang's family is a delicate young lady."

"I don't want to be the lazy woman in the eyes of the villagers!"

Puff!

After saying it seriously, she couldn't help laughing first.

The smiling eyes were particularly firm and stubborn.

The daughter of Silang's family, the lazy woman?

Zhu Di was also amused, but at the same time had a headache. From the smiling but particularly stubborn and determined eyes, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade her...

"I won't do this kind of loss-making business!"

Xu Miaoyun looked puzzled, "Loss-making?"

Zhu Di counted on his fingers and smiled: "First of all, you are my wife, my woman, and secondly, you are a great beauty, right?"

Pursing his lips to hold back his laughter, Xu Miaoyun glared shyly...

"If you work in the fields with me and become a yellow-faced woman like the second aunt and the fourth aunt, my loss will be too great!"

"Losing business, no, no, absolutely not!"

He shook his head repeatedly and whispered something to Xu Miaoyun's ear, laughing softly.

Before he could finish, Xu Miaoyun's pretty face flushed, she held her hands in vain, and shyly pretended to hit someone...

Smiling and holding Xu Miaoyun's hand, Zhu Di said solemnly: "To be honest, I didn't expect that after being demoted to a commoner, you would marry yourself."

...

"There are a lot of things to do at home."

"You have to wash clothes, cook, and feed the little fool every day, that's enough!"

This is what he really said.

Xu Miaoyun raised her head...

With the blush on her face not fading, she looked at Zhu Di and said seriously: "I can do these things at home when I have time. Which woman in the village doesn't wash clothes and cook? Don't feed poultry?"

"I can't work in the fields!"

He would never do such a loss-making business!

He turned his beautiful wife into a yellow-faced woman, and earned less power points.

No matter how you calculate it, it's a blood loss!

"But..." Zhu Di had an idea and said excitedly: "There is something that suits you very well!"

"The villagers are very good to us."

"There are quite a few children in the village, about thirty or forty."

"These little guys are either fishing in the river or climbing trees to get bird eggs all day long."

"How about you be their teacher and teach them how to read and write."

"In exchange, how about letting Uncle Yang and the others teach me how to farm?"

Be a teacher?

Xu Miaoyun hesitated and was not confident, "I am a woman, can I be a teacher?"

"Why not! You are a female scholar!" Zhu Di smiled confidently, and said, grabbing Xu Miaoyun's hand: "Let's go, let's gather the villagers now."

"If you are not confident, then ask the villagers for their opinions!"

"See if they believe you!"

...

Gongci.

Tuqiao Village is a resettlement village.

There are no big surnames, big landlords, or gentry.

Gongci was also the ancestral hall of a local wealthy family in the past. During the war, this family was defeated.

After the new village was established.

The ancestral hall became a public ancestral hall.

The people worshipped in it were not the ancestors of each family, but gods such as the Dragon King.

The sacrificial activities such as praying for rain in the village were carried out in the public ancestral hall.

Zhu Di invited the villagers to the ancestral temple and explained the purpose. He glanced at Xu Miaoyun, who was a little nervous, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, uncles and aunts?"

"Are you willing to let my daughter be a teacher for your children?"

Before the words fell, the villagers stood up excitedly and responded loudly with surprise and joy.

"Yes! Very willing!"

"Silang, you are not lying to us, are you?"

"Can my child read and write?"

"Silang's daughter is from a scholarly family. Maybe our child can pass the imperial examination in the future!"

"Silang, daughter, you are the benefactors of my family. If my child can pass the imperial examination in the future, I will let him remember your kindness for the rest of his life!"

...

Zhu Di smiled and turned his head, signaling with his eyes: Look.

The villagers are all watching! Xu Miaoyun tilted her head to the other side, but the corners of her lips could not help but slightly raised, and a little smile appeared.

"Everyone be quiet!" Zhu Di smiled and raised his hand. After the ancestral hall was quiet for a moment, he continued: "Since we are going to run a school in Tuqiao Village."

"We must have a place to go to school."

"I think the ancestral hall can be used."

"However, we need to repair the roof, build tables and chairs, and build a sand table for practicing calligraphy."

"We need to work together..."

Before he finished speaking, the villagers responded loudly with laughter.

"Silang, Daya, leave these things to us!"

"Yes, you just need to be in charge of the command. This work can be done before dark!"

...

That day, the whole Tuqiao Village was in full swing.

The adults were busy building tables and chairs, sand tables, and repairing the roof of the ancestral hall. The children were laughing and running among the adults.

At the same time.

A carrier pigeon brought the news that Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were going to run a school in Tuqiao Village.

It flew out of the village silently...
