Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 33 Zhu Di: The beautiful wife turned into a yellow-faced woman? Don’t do any business that’s a loss of blood!

Small courtyard. (audience)

Under the apricot tree.

Zhu Di fiddled with the plow.

In my previous life, I was a mud-legged person two generations back. When I was a child, I went back to the countryside and saw plows and cultivated fields.

He even followed the cattle and mules, having a great time.

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

Just like this plow!

Not to mention everything is solid.

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

The plow in front of me was made of solid elm wood and covered with a thin layer of iron.

Even if it is covered with iron sheet, the entire plow blade is not covered.

Only wrapped around the edges.

Looking at the pitiful small circle of iron sheet that had been polished away from rust and made smooth, Zhu Di shook his head, stood up, and muttered: Productivity is too backward.

If you have a good plow, add rhubarb.

He is good at farming and can plow four or five acres of land in a day.

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

Now...

It’s hard to say!

It might take ten days.

After all, he is a second-hand swordsman himself.

He set up the plow and turned back to the house.

The cabin has a new look.

New furniture was 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 free 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 clay. When she heard the movement, a smile appeared on the corners of her lips, and without raising her head, she asked: Are you all ready?

Okay, you can start at any time! Zhu Di said with a smile while washing his hands, and at the same time turned his head to look...

Then, he frowned slightly...

The next second, he didn't bother to wipe his hands. He 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 off?

Xu Miaoyun looked up with a smile, I also need to prepare. These clothes are fine for me to wear at home on weekdays.

Not suitable for working in the fields.

Among the clothes you bring when you get married, except for the wedding dress.

I didn't wear any skirts that trailed to the ground.

not applicable!

The skirt I brought was fine, but the long gown that reached my knees was still too long, making it inconvenient to do farm work in the fields.

It needs to be changed into a short shirt.

Like the aunts in the village, they wear short shirts and skirts.

When I was digging wild vegetables, I asked my second aunt for advice on how to till the land.

The second aunt said that when you are new to farming, it will be easier if you hold the direction of the plow from behind and I hold the rhubarb in front.

Zhu Di smiled. Of course he knew this. His family was a mud-legged family two generations back.

He took off the scissors from Xu Miaoyun's hand and said with a smile: It's not difficult to do this job in the countryside. I'll be able to master it soon after I explore on my own.

Our family only has ten acres of land in total, so you don't need to go to the fields.

That won't work! Xu Miaoyun said very stubbornly: We are one. Since I want to be a farmer, I have to learn how to work in the fields and leave it all to you. You can't bear it.

Besides, even if I ask you to do it, the villagers will say that the eldest daughter of the Shiro family is indeed a delicate eldest lady.

I don't want to be what the folks call a lazy woman!

puff!

After speaking seriously, she took the lead and couldn't help laughing.

His smiling eyes were extremely firm and stubborn.

The eldest daughter of the Shiro family, the lazy lady?

Zhu Di was also amused, and at the same time he had a headache. From the smile on his face, but the stubborn look in his eyes, he knew that it would be difficult to persuade...

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

Xu Miaoyun looked at it in confusion, Compensation?

Zhu Di clasped his fingers and said with a smile: First of all, you are my wife, my woman. Secondly, you are also a beautiful woman, right?

Pursing her lips to hold back a smile, Xu Miaoyun glared shyly...

You work in the fields with me and become a yellow-faced woman like the second aunt and the fourth aunt. My loss is too big!

Buying at a loss, don't do it, don't do it, definitely don't do it!

After shaking his head repeatedly, he leaned into Xu Miaoyun's ear and said something with a low smile.

New 𝘹.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Miaoyun's pretty face turned red, she held her hands in a coy gesture, and wanted to hit someone...

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

…

There are a lot of things going on at home.

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

This is what he means.

Xu Miaoyun looked up...

The blush on his face had not yet faded. He looked at Zhu Di and said seriously: I can finish these things at home in my spare time. Which woman in the village doesn't wash and cook? Doesn't feed poultry?

“It’s absolutely not okay to work in the fields!”

He would never do this kind of money-losing business!

Turning the beautiful wife into a yellow-faced woman also earned less power points.

No matter how you calculate it, it’s all blood loss!

But... An idea flashed in Zhu Di's mind, and he said excitedly: There is something that suits you very well!

The folks are very kind to us.

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

These little things spend their days either fishing in rivers or climbing up trees to fish for bird eggs.

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 sir?

Xu Miaoyun was a little hesitant and unsure, I am a woman, can I be a gentleman?

Why not! You are a girl! Zhu Di said with a confident smile, and grabbed Xu Miaoyun's hand: Let's go, let's gather the folks now.

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

Look at them, believe it or not!

…

The public temple.

Tuqiao Village is a resettlement village.

There are no big surnames, no big landowners, no gentry.

The public ancestral hall was also the ancestral hall of a local wealthy family in the past. During the war, the family was destroyed.

After the new village was established.

The ancestral hall became a public ancestral hall.

The people worshiping here are not the ancestors of various families, but gods such as the Dragon King.

Sacrificial activities such as praying for rain in the village are held in the public temple.

Zhu Di called the villagers to the temple and explained the purpose. He glanced at Xu Miaoyun, who was slightly nervous, and asked with a smile: Uncles and aunts, what do you think?

Would you like to let my eldest daughter be the husband of your children?

Before the words could even be finished, the villagers stood up excitedly and responded loudly with surprise.

Yes! I'm so willing!

Shiro, you're not lying to us, are you?

I... can my baby also read and write?

The eldest daughter of the Shiro family is from a well-educated family. Maybe we, my little one, can get some merit in the future!

Silang, Daya, you are the benefactors of my family. If my son can get a meritorious degree in the future, I will let him remember your kindness for the rest of his life!

…

Zhu Di turned his head with a smile and said with his eyes: Look.

The folks are watching! Xu Miaoyun turned her head to the other side, but the corners of her lips could not help but raise slightly, with a little smile.

Everyone, be quiet! Zhu Di raised his hand with a smile. After a moment of silence in the ancestral hall, he continued: Since we want to set up a private school in Tuqiao Village.

We need a place to go to school.

I think the public temple can be used.

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

We need to do it together...

Before he could finish his words, the villagers laughed and responded loudly.

Shiro, Da Ya, leave these matters to us!

Yes, just take charge of the command. This work can be completed before dark!

…

On this day, the entire Tuqiao Village was in full swing.

The adults were busy making tables, stools, sand tables, and repairing the roof of the ancestral hall, while the children laughed and shuttled among the adults.

at the same time.

A homing pigeon carried the news that Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun were going to set up a school in Tuqiao Village.

Flying out of the village quietly...
