Young Master Liu secretly walked to the most remote courtyard of the Liu Mansion carrying watermelon seeds. Mobile version https:m.
People who don't know better still think that Young Master Liu is a gentleman from Liang Shang and not the master of the Liu Mansion. There's nothing you can do about it. Young Master Liu has long known that there are spies from the emperor among the servants in the mansion. It's better to be more cautious about some things.
"Master, don't you just want to see what the sweet potatoes you said look like? We seem to be thieves, this is your home!"
Ying'er looked at the young master's timid appearance and wanted to laugh but didn't dare. The young master looked too vulgar.
She gently gave Ying'er a headache: "What do you know, little girl? Either you are afraid of 10,000 or just in case. If you are not sure about this thing, you cannot offer it to the emperor. The crime of deceiving the emperor will be beheaded!"
Ying'er rubbed her forehead and pouted: "Yes, whatever the young master said is right, Ying'er is wrong."
After closing the door of the side courtyard, Mr. Liu looked at the greenhouse built in the side yard with pride and pride. The glass shone with dazzling light under the refraction of the sun. Inside was the place where he cultivated sweet potato seedlings, covering an area of two meters.
With an area of about ten square meters, it can be regarded as a secret breeding base for Liu Dashao.
Except for Ying'er and himself, no one in the entire Liu Mansion knew why the Lord ordered such a strange house to be built.
Before the matter failed, Liu Mingzhi did not even disclose it to me, Liu Zhi'an, or my wife, Qi Yun.
There is nothing that can be done about this. If there is no physical object to show them and tell them that they are cultivating grain that can produce dozens of dan per mu, they will think that they are crazy.
"Ying'er, take out the key."
"Yes." Ying'er took out a purse from her arms and poured out a yellow-orange key and handed it to Young Master Liu.
Young Master Liu once again made sure that he and Ying'er were the only two people in the courtyard before opening the copper lock on the greenhouse shed.
He held Ying'er's shoulders as he was about to walk in: "Little girl, how many times has the young master told you that you must not go in if there is no ventilation. If something goes wrong, your life will be lost."
"Hehe, Ying'er was wrong, I won't do it next time."
Seeing the young master's nervous look, Ying'er smiled sweetly. This was a little secret that belonged to her and the young master, a little secret that even the young madam didn't know.
Ying'er has long remembered the young master's warnings in her heart, knowing that they can't go in immediately after it is opened, but Ying'er pretends to forget and goes in every time.
The young master looked extremely happy as he was anxious for Ying'er. It can only be said that the women's hearts were as deep as a needle and it was impossible to guess what they were thinking.
Although there are a lot of vents left in the greenhouse, Mr. Liu cherishes his life and will never take risks unless everything is foolproof.
Feeling that the time was almost up, Mr. Liu took Ying'er's hand and walked into the large greenhouse, and gently closed the door, leaving a gap enough for ventilation.
The temperature in the greenhouse is around 30 degrees Celsius. In addition to the function of the glass, the pipes under the greenhouse connecting each coal stove provide enough heat in the greenhouse.
Looking at the twenty green seedlings, Young Master Liu looked pleased. Finally, his work was not in vain. Whether Dalong could turn over these sweet potato seedlings was a crucial step.
"Master, you are so amazing. You can grow things even in winter." Ying'er was amazed when she looked at the green sweet potato seedlings.
The seedlings that were only the size of a palm before are now about a foot long.
"Give me the scissors. Let's start transplanting the seedlings now. You can learn from the young master. Once you learn how to do it, you can help me."
"Okay!" Ying'er stretched out her hand and looked at the young master with a smile: "Master, teach me!"
Looking at the naughty Ying'er, Mr. Liu shook his head helplessly, took Ying'er's hand and put the scissors into his hand: "Did you see these seedlings? Use scissors half a foot long to cut off the middle of the vine and put it aside.
"
As he spoke, he held up Ying'er's hand and cut off a sweet potato seedling about half a foot long.
"Master, how can you survive if it's cut off?"
"Don't underestimate these seedlings. They have very strong vitality. If you give them some attention, they will shine. If you give them some rain and dew, they will overflow. As long as there is soil and water, there is no place where they cannot survive."
Mr. Liu has no doubt about the viability of sweet potatoes. In his previous life, when he was a child, he planted a lot of sweet potatoes at home. As long as these seedlings were buried in the soil, they could take root on their own and then grow like crazy.
After about half a stick of incense, the two of them each took a pair of scissors and began to sort out the seedlings. The temperature in the greenhouse was extremely high, and both of them were sweating profusely. It was already laborious to squat on the ground, so it would be strange not to sweat.
Young Master Liu had long taken off his thick cotton robe and put it on a shelf nearby. He also wanted to leave these tasks to his servants, but Young Master Liu was still a little worried if he was not someone close to him.
Ying'er felt equally uncomfortable. As a personal maid, apart from serving tea and pouring water, she had never had the strength to do other tasks such as bathing and changing clothes. She gently took off her thick jacket. Ying'er, like the young master, only wore one piece of clothing again.
Squatting on the ground, cutting sweet potato seedlings.
There is no way to think about whether he is shy or not. Anyway, they are all the young master's people and they have already been honest with each other. There is nothing worth avoiding.
As the sun went down, the two finally buried more than a hundred seedlings in the soil they had prepared long ago.
Looking at Ying'er who was sweating profusely, Mr. Liu shook his head and took the wooden ladle in her hand: "You have a rest, I will water the rest."
"Master, it's better for Ying'er to water the water."
"Forget it, plant these melon seeds in the soil over there, don't bury them too deep."
"You know, young master, don't worry. Ying'er and Sister Cui have planted flowers and plants before."
"Be careful and take a rest when you are tired."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Mother, sister, Xiaoliang, please be careful on the road. I will go back to my house to see you then."
"My mother-in-law, in this case I won't keep you here."
Several women were chatting outside the Liu Mansion.
Since Qi Run was a fourth-rank official, he naturally had a house arranged by the court. Originally, Mrs. Liu wanted to keep them in the house for two days, but Mrs. Qi insisted on leaving and had no choice.
Fortunately, Qi Run's house is only a few streets away from Liu's house, so it only takes time for a cup of tea, so it's convenient to meet up.
Qi Yun looked around with a puzzled look on her face: "I don't know where my father and father-in-law are. They were walking in the corridor before, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. My husband was also missing. Xiaoliang, do you know where they went?"
?"
Qi Liang shook his head in embarrassment. You can't say that your father and your father-in-law went to Tianxiang Tower to drink wine, otherwise your mother and aunt will definitely become jealous.
Qi Liang did not worry about the issue of his father going to a prostitute. In this era, if a man does not go to a brothel, it only means that the man has no ability.
It's really too normal.
"Second sister, I don't know about my younger brother, maybe the two elders have something to discuss with the second brother. Don't worry if the three grown men are together, they won't be lost."
Qi Yun nodded gently: "Okay, it will get dark soon, so be careful on the road."
Mrs. Qi nodded gently: "Go back. You can't catch a cold if you are pregnant. When the time comes,"
"My dear, what you said is wrong. The body is still that of a Jiangnan woman, delicate and smooth, as tender as water."
"No, no, my parents are wrong. Women from Jiangnan are too petite. In my opinion, women from the north are better. Although they are not as delicate as women from Jiangnan, they have a majestic personality and have the aura of a heroine."
"Everyone has his own merits, each has his own merits."
"That's right, that's right, the in-laws really hit the mark."
"In comparison, the Orchid from the Western Regions is actually even better. She can sing and dance well, especially her eyes, which are simply seductive."
"Heroes have the same opinion. I also think women from the Western Regions are pretty good. The only drawback is that they always smell like mutton."
Qi Liang patted his forehead lightly, and looked at the drunken Qi Run and Liu Zhi'an, who were leaning on each other and talking dirty words, and said to themselves that it was over.
Subconsciously he glanced at Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi, and seeing the looks in their eyes, Qi Liang could only pray secretly.
Qi Yun was also stunned, and looked at Qi Liang strangely, guessing that her husband would also go to drink flower wine!
Qi Liang could only scratch his head in embarrassment, not daring to look into the eyes of his second sister.
"Al!"
"Al!"
Qi Run and Liu Zhi'an were stunned when they looked at the female family members in front of the Liu Mansion.
"Madam, why didn't you inform me that my mother-in-law was leaving?"
Young Master Liu was covered in mud, even his face was stained with mud, and he hurriedly ran out of the house.
Qi Yun nodded happily, her husband did not go to drink.
"Husband!"
Young Master Liu stared blankly at Qi Yun, who was throwing herself in his arms. What was going on?
