The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 167
Xiu Niang carefully made a burner of incense. This was the incense powder made by Xu Jing herself. It had a light floral fragrance and a light and pleasant smell, which was her favorite smell.

"Well, your wife here is very good at pleasing you, and she is also very smart."

"Yeah, I'm smart. I'm better than a fool. It doesn't take much effort to teach. We get along well now. I won't stay in the capital for a long time and won't disturb my son and daughter-in-law. This way, the relationship can be more relaxed and happy, son. Being happy and living a good life is what I hope for."

"That's right, you can think it through."

Grandma Wang smiled and nodded.

"In these days, I still have to run forward by myself. No one will win. I don't burden my son. I just hope that they live well. Besides, there is also a Chun brother who is not married. I still want them to help each other and support each other in the future. , then I can’t embarrass my daughter-in-law.”

"That's right. With a clear-minded mother-in-law like you, the family will definitely be fine."

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask, what happened to Li Yu?"

"It's nothing more than Brother Rui's fault. He took a few clan girls away and went to the capital to discuss their marriage. I guess he only dared to say it out loud when his affairs were most likely settled. This Li Yu happened to be in the first place. There were three or four people wandering around, but I didn't choose her. She has a cat's claws in her heart. She is always angry with others when she's not in a good mood, and gets into arguments whenever she sees people. She's very angry, so I plan to try it again."

"So that's it. I said why, so I don't care. You can figure it out. In this way, you don't have to worry about your parents. I'll appease them."

Xiu Niang's eyebrows turned cold upon hearing this.

She trusted Brother Rui's vision. He was someone who relied on his own ability to reach the emperor's eyes step by step. He was naturally worthy of trust.

Although there was a favor from the Wang family, if Brother Rui didn't excel, how could the emperor allow him to do the post in front of him? It was the emperor who finally nodded in approval.

"I guess it's true that I don't like Li Yu. Her little ability can't be hidden from Brother Rui's eyes. Even Brother Qun didn't mention her. I guess it's true that I don't like her. I really don't know about this. Let the children pick. of."

"Brother Rui's wife and Brother Qun's wife were also choosing in front of them. I saw that the picks were all right, so I didn't say anything more. Don't worry about it. I'll temper this child's temper. I can't handle it. Let’s talk about it later.”

"Row."

The two of them didn't talk about it again. It was just a girl's bad temper, not a big deal.

The two chatted all over the world, drinking tea and chatting about trivial matters, and they were very happy.

Grandma Wang did not delay learning various skills in the palace. She could talk a few words on any topic. Xiu Niang spent her whole life studying and never slacked off. She was also full of knowledge. The two were close and often drank tea and played together. It was very enjoyable to make fun, draw and sketch.

The two of them made an appointment to go painting at the foot of the mountain tomorrow. Grandma Wang would take turns to take a break tomorrow. She had invited two more aunts in the palace to teach the girls and children in turn, so they could take turns to rest.

After drinking tea, Xiu Niang said goodbye. Grandma Wang was getting older and needed a lunch break. Xiu Niang also went back to take a nap. In the afternoon, she went for a horseback ride and picked up some herbs and wild mushrooms, just to relax.

When Brother Rui and the others came back, they brought a lot of foals and mares, specially for the children to ride and shoot. They also gave a large amount of medicinal materials. Part of the money was paid by Brother Qun and Brother Rui together. The medicinal materials are relatively good. It was expensive, so the clan had to pay for it, so it sold for less. It was a rare opportunity, and the medicinal materials were good, so Brother Rui decisively got them all, which cost a lot of money.

I got a large amount of good medicinal materials for the clan, which was enough for three or four years. The grandfather was very happy. The clan was also very grateful to Brother Rui and Qun Ge. They were all for their own children, and they became more and more respectful and dependent on Xiu Niang.

Xiuniang came back from riding a horse in a very cheerful mood and met Li Yu.

She pursed her lips and smiled, deliberately trying to block herself.

"Yu'er, why are you here, waiting for me?"

Xiu Niang jumped off the horse and led the horse forward.

Li Yu pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before asking: "Sir, I want to go to the capital."

"No."

Xiu Niang refused bluntly.

Li Yu suddenly became anxious, "Why, why can't I go?" "Because Brother Rui makes the decision. He has the final say in the opportunities he finds. If he says you can't go, you can't go. Why, do you think my family owes you? It’s your turn. Have you studied your skills seriously and down-to-earth? With this mentality, who dares to let you go to the capital. Going to the capital is not for competition. You are not allowed to go anywhere until you understand. "

Xiu Niang's eyebrows became much sharper, and her attitude was extremely strong, which made Li Yu tremble in fear.

In fact, Xiu Niang has always been soft-tempered on the outside but strong on the inside. She has a strong character. Not even her son can defeat her, let alone others.

Li Yu cried and left without daring to say anything.

When I returned to the clan school, I saw my aunt coming out and saluted her, "Li Yu went to find you. He carried me on his back."

"It's none of your business. This girl is a good young girl. She needs to have a strong character. She can be successful in the future if she polishes it. But if her character is too strong, it will be troublesome if she doesn't take the right path. Please be strict. If you ask, tell her that I told you. Parents. I'll be responsible for persuading the boss, you don't need to worry about it."

"Yes, listen to you."

"I have taken care of your settlement. By the way, you and Aunt Lin have also settled on fifty acres of land each. If you are short of people, you can just discuss with the uncle and my second uncle to find people. I promise to get it easy for you. "

"Thank you so much. I will do a good job and take good care of the girl."

"It's easy to say. We have to come home and play. I'm alone. Let's get together and have some fun."

"Okay, I will definitely go."

After chatting for a while, my aunt went into the house to teach the next class. Xiu Niang took a walk and went home. She had dinner with her grandparents and in-laws, and talked to the old man for a while before returning to the house.

Li Yu's matter is not urgent. She is only fifteen and young, but she wants to be strong and competitive. Xiu Niang will have to polish her up and change this bad habit.

The next day she made an appointment with Grandma Wang to go painting, and the two found an open space by the river to sketch.

The scenery on the mountain is great, so I just came out for a walk.

The mountains and fields are open and the air is good. This is why she likes her hometown. The place is spacious and she can feel happy wherever she goes. In the capital, she can only stay in the courtyard. It is too big to go out, and she is very anxious.

The two of them painted all morning. They ate in front of them at noon, the food was brought by the maid at home, the slave Xu Jing specially gave last time to take care of Xiu Niang, and there were people waiting in front of them.

I didn't want to go back at noon, so I was in high spirits. Taking advantage of my energy in the afternoon, I painted two more pictures before going home with Grandma Wang.

Grandpa also came back from the village entrance.

"Grandpa, what are you carrying in your hand?"

"The two fish they gave me were still fresh. I said I would drink them while making fish soup at night."

"Okay, the market opens tomorrow. Can I take you and grandma to the market?"

"Okay, let's go buy some candy."

The old man loves sweets, so he is always happy when the children bring him snacks. They are too hard for him to eat, so he is happy to eat soft, sweet snacks and rice cakes.

"Okay, I'll buy you rice cakes to eat. Is the thousand-layer rice cake good?"

"Okay, I love that."

Grandpa nodded happily.Xiuniang helped the old man into the house.
