Chapter 98

Early the next morning, after Nan Xing finished his breakfast, he called Qiu Ju, Chun Mei and Wang Yuxian to the courtyard.

"Little lady, where are you taking us?" Wang Yuxian looked at her expectantly.

Ever since she and her grandfather sold themselves to their home, they found that Nan Xing always liked to run outside.

Although she was engaged, she was still restless and wanted to run out with her.

Qiu Ju and Chun Mei looked at each other silently, then lowered their heads.

They knew what Nan Xing wanted to do, and their scalps went numb.

"I'm not going anywhere today, but I'll teach you how to read and write." Nan Xing said seriously.

Wang Yuxian was stunned. As a servant, she could learn to read and write from the master's lady?
This is unheard of in ten miles and eight townships, the only one, she was very excited.

"Miss, where do we start?" Wang Yuxian asked anxiously. She has no foundation at all, and she is afraid that if she doesn't learn well, Nan Xing will be unhappy.

Hearing her question, Nan Xing suddenly felt a bit of a headache. They are not materials for reading, so there is no need to think about the Four Books and Five Classics, and they have already missed the time for enlightenment reading, such as the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, Thousand Character Classic, etc. , so she thought and thought, and said, "Let's learn your names first."

After speaking, Nan Xing wrote the names of the three of them on the ground with burnt sticks, and then taught them how to write one by one.

Hearing this, Wang Yuxian's heart skipped a beat, she finally had a chance to know how her name was written.

So she is the one who learns the most seriously, and also the most attentive, following Nan Xing to learn stroke by stroke.

However, Qiu Ju and Chun Mei are faster learners.

Because in the past, when Nan Xing read and read, he would also teach the two of them by the way.

It's just that the two of them always muddle along, teaching once and forgetting once, but the impression is still there after many times.

After yesterday's incident, the two of them were much more serious than before, and Nan Xing told them that they would not take them to the county next time if they could not learn.

In this way, they didn't dare to slack off even more. Although their scalps were numb, they still practiced stroke by stroke on the ground with small wooden sticks.

Nan Xing stood by and supervised for a long time, and when he saw that they were all learning in style, he sat on the side and watched boredly.

"Do you have clay pots at home?" Lu Jingyou walked in with Mo Xi and asked.

"Yes, why are you here?" Nan Xing asked curiously.

"Go catch leeches." Lu Jingyou said with a smile.

"What? What did you say?" Nan Xing's mouth trembled, and his body couldn't help trembling.

She couldn't be more clear about what a leech was. That thing was so disgusting that she felt scared just thinking about it.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyou continued to smile: "Do you feel hairy in your heart?"

More than that, Nan Xing felt a little palpitating.

"What do you want that for?"

"A farmer in Shijiao Village was accidentally bitten on the arm by a poisonous insect when he went up the mountain to chop firewood. Although I have given him first aid treatment, and then supplemented it with decoction and acupuncture, it has saved his life. But the toxins in his body haven't been completely eliminated." Lu Jingyou said.

"Then what does this have to do with leeches?" Nan Xing looked at him very puzzled.

"The remaining toxins were temporarily suppressed by me in the wound." Lu Jingyou continued to explain: "At first, I didn't think of any good way to help him clean up the toxins in his body. But isn't it busy with farming today? I see the villagers We all went to pull out the seedlings and divide them, so I thought that the leeches in the paddy fields might help suck out the toxins."

"This..." Nan Xing was speechless for a moment.

But since it was to save someone, she still took a clay pot for him without hesitation: "You don't need to return it, you can keep it for later use."

She would never ask for the clay pot that once contained that disgusting thing, so she simply gave it to him.

Mo Xi took the pot tactfully, and Lu Jingyou asked with a smile, "Do you want to go together?"

Nan Xing's pupils shrank, and he didn't really want to go.

But thinking that the three of them will have to practice for a long time to learn to write their own names, and their fertile fields have started planting rice seedlings today, Luo Yunfei and the others went to inspect their fertile fields early, she thought for a while, and hesitated: "Okay, I'll take a look at our family's fertile land by the way."

It wasn't that she was worried about whether Liu Dahu had done his best to help their family, but that she was so bored that she wanted to go out for a walk.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she looked up at the scorching sun above her head, then said 'wait' to Lu Jingyou, and immediately turned back.

At this time, old man Wang was busy in the kitchen. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and said, "Miss, if you are hungry, there are steamed buns in the pot."

"Not yet. I haven't finished digesting what I ate in the morning." While speaking, she subconsciously touched her bulging stomach, and then said to Old Man Wang: "Uncle Wang, you will do it later." A bone plantain soup, about [-] people, after making it, keep some for your own home, and let Qiuju, Chunmei and Yuxian take the rest to our family's fertile fields."

Old man Wang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Nan Xing wanted to comfort Liu Dahu's family.

I thought to myself that she is really a kind person, not only being kind to the servants, but also so generous and considerate to the hired laborers.

So he nodded with a smile, and went to get out the bones and plantains to make soup.

After giving the order, Nan Xing took three more straw hats before going out. He wore one for himself, and distributed the remaining two to Lu Jingyou and Mo Xi.

At first, Lu Jingyou thought she was in a hurry, but it turned out that she was afraid that the sun would be too harsh and she would get tanned.

That's right, every girl loves beauty, how can she not be afraid of the sun?Unless it's a female man.

After a while, Nan Xing took them to his fertile field.

At this time, Liu Dahu took a large family to the field.

I saw that they had a large family, and the four of them pulled out seedlings at two ends, and the rest planted seedlings in the plowed paddy field. Send over bundled handfuls of seedlings, and if the distance is very close, throw the seedlings over in handfuls.

If the strength is useless, it will be thrown close, and muddy water will be splashed all over the body. If it is far away, people will have to walk a few more steps to get it.

Nan Xing, who was walking on the ridge of the field, saw the seedlings flying towards her at a glance.

So she quickly ran a few steps away.

Lu Jingyou was talking to her, seeing her like this, he followed suit.

Poor Mo Xi was still walking with his head bowed, and when he was careless, he was splashed with muddy water on his face by the flying seedlings.

"Puff puff..." He stuck out his tongue again and again to spit out the muddy water that splashed into his mouth, and then wiped his dirty face.

Although it was almost wiped off, the smell of muddy water was unpleasant, which made him retch with nausea.
