Chapter 528： Reply

Zhou Yong rolled his eyes, "Look, you're so used to being lazy. You used to be diligent in helping out every day. What's up? After a few days of reading, you'll lose your status?"

The big head said embarrassingly: "Uh...I didn't mean that. Wouldn't it be better to stay at home without going to the ground? It's a hot day..."

The children in the other fields did not dare to be dissatisfied.

Indeed, the four of the Zhou family are all officials and young masters, and there is one who is said to be the young prince. Everyone can swing their hoes. Why can't they go down to the ground.

Everyone's dissatisfaction was immediately swept away, and as far as they could see, they were all schoolmates who went to school together.

I also feel that it is better than sitting idle in the house all day and pretending, but in fact not reading a word.

The atmosphere in the village was all at once.

Pei Xiu spent another two months peacefully in the village, and it is now mid-July.

Not long after, the farming season will be busy again, and their original land will be cultivated by the big house and the second house.

These days, the food they eat is also provided by the big room and the second room, which is euphemistically called rent.

Although the land deed is in her hands, she is not comfortable accepting it. When people go to the city to buy, she often asks people to bring more sweets and snacks to the two rooms, which is also considered a kind of heart.

When the days passed smoothly until the beginning of August, she was also a little anxious. This book has been sent to Beijing for more than two months. It's almost time to approve it, right?

Logically, it only takes about a month to go to Beijing quickly, plus reviewing back and forth, more than two months is enough.

When Zhou Cheng came back from worship, she couldn't help but ask.

"It may be delayed on the way, and it may be received at the end of the autumn harvest even later."

"Then just have to wait patiently."

"What's the matter? Do you want to go back to Beijing?"

Pei Xiu shook his head indifferently, "You can only stay at home when you enter Beijing, and you can't go anywhere in the filial piety period. It's better in the village. You can go out for a walk every day, and take wheat to visit the house of the second sister-in-law."

"I'm just worried about whether you can keep your official position, and I want to know as soon as possible. I can see how difficult it is for you to come this way."

Zhou Cheng couldn't help hugging her and kissed her hair, "It's alright, don't worry about me, I'll talk about it after the autumn harvest."

"Um."

She wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling that the two of them hadn't hugged each other so intimately for a long time, so she couldn't help hugging for a while longer.

It wasn't until Wheat pushed the door in at an untimely time that the two quickly separated.

"Father and mother are ashamed!"

"Little ancestors can't talk nonsense. Madam and the general are just talking in the room." Sister Li hurriedly explained to Mai Mai and wanted to take her out.

It was still a little embarrassing to be seen by the child, but it was only for a moment.

"It's okay, we're done talking, let her play here."

She took the handkerchief and wiped her forehead, "Where did you come back from playing? You're sweating profusely."

He turned his head and instructed Mrs. Li, "Put a basin of water to wash the girl's face."

"I followed my brother to the ground, and when I came back, I went to the backyard to pick vegetables for my mother. Mom, I just picked a few cucumbers. I want to eat cucumbers at night."

It's getting hotter and hotter recently, and the children like to eat cold dishes. After mixing them in the hanging well for two hours, the dinner is delicious and refreshing.

but…

"You still have a weak stomach, so you can't always eat iced well water. It's delicious to eat cucumber and scrambled eggs at night."

Thinking that she also picked up three eggs in the chicken coop this morning, Mai readily agreed.

"Father, when can we go up the mountain? It's been a long time since we've been there."

"I can't go, just play at home."

She pouted, "Daddy hugs and wants to ride a horse!"

Zhou Cheng satisfied her!

"It's good to play for a while. I'm sweating every time I move on a hot day. I'll go and see if the mung bean soup has cooled down. I'll come out and eat it later."

Just as a whole room of old and young people were eating mung bean soup around the table, and when they were going to take a lunch break, everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house.

Pei Xiu immediately put down the spoon and was about to make a sound when Zhou Yong had already rushed out.

He knew that his parents were waiting for a reply from the capital, and they should have arrived a few days earlier.

There is actually the sound of hooves at this moment, there must be a reply.

really…

"Father, mother, the booklet has been approved."

Zhou Yong shouted while running, and handed the book directly to his father, "There is another letter from the Huainan Palace to Zhou Shan."

After Zhou Shan took it, he put it in his arms first, and planned to go back to the house later to read it, first to see what the book said.

The family also looked at Zhou Cheng with concern, but saw that he didn't even frown, and his expression didn't change at all.

Zhou Yong simply stretched his head over, but Zhou Cheng closed the book, tapped him on the head, and showed it to Pei Xiu.

"Oh, dad, if you don't take it with you, let me have a look anyway."

"What's the fun with children?"

"It's not small, I'm a big guy."

He touched his forehead and moved closer to Pei Xiu, but this time he understood.

On the booklet is written a bunch of texts and crepe, which roughly means that Ding You approved the 100-day holiday, and Daxiang, Xiaoxiang, Zukui and other death days will be given vacations. As soon as the 100-day holiday is over, take office quickly.

Zhou Yong looked at him with a wide-eyed smile, it would be good that his father didn't resign Ding You.

"Brother, what does the book say?" The other people's heads stretched out to see the truth.

Pei Xiu directly passed it to them, and answered the province.

"During the day vacation, I asked for five months before adding you. We will just go to the capital in mid-November."

"Um."

Seeing that what they said was almost the same, the soldiers who came in behind Zhou Yong knelt down and apologized, "Please forgive me, the general, the villain suffered heatstroke on the way here, and fell at the door of the inn, delaying it for seven days."

"Get up~ It doesn't matter, it's not suitable for Japan to be exposed to the sun in the hot summer. You'll be fine. Go to the kitchen and drink a bowl of mung bean soup, and then go back to the house to rest."

"Yes, thank you General for being sympathetic."

Zhou Cheng nodded and looked at Pei Xiu after watching the soldiers leave.

She was a little puzzled, but he rarely seemed to hesitate to say something like this, "What's the matter? Just say whatever you want?"

He pursed his lips and said, "I want to take my mother to Beijing. My father is gone. She lives alone and is lonely. After all, they are not comfortable with us."

Pei Xiu actually thought about this after the old man passed away, and was prepared for it.

Bai Shan filial piety is the first, and Zhou Cheng's idea is also within her expectation.

In these days, the old lady doesn't care about anything and everything is not in their hands, and they get along harmoniously. If she can keep it like this all the time, she has no objection, just give up the old lady well.

She smiled and nodded, "You can call the shots. Go ask your mother later."
