Chapter 70 Mrs. Wang

On this breeze morning, Zhao Yunlan took the Pepper Record to take the Liu family courtyard.

Old Master Liu was accompanying his wife to have dinner. The servant came to report. Old Mrs. Wang said curiously: "This is the Miss Zhao you mentioned in the past."

Old Master Liu nodded.

The old lady: "Then I want to meet you today."

Old Master Liu said, "After that time, you go with me to meet this Mrs. Zhao. Today, I rarely have the energy, but I have to eat more to maintain my health."

The old lady: "Hey, it's said that summer is the most bitter. It's too hot this day, but I don't have the appetite. I've eaten it almost."

Old Master Liu looked at his wife who only ate a little more, and looked worried, but he no longer forced Mrs. Wang to eat more.

Zhao Yunlan was drinking tea in the flower hall. The front yard of the flower hall was full of flowers. Zhao Yunlan liked it so much, thinking that her house would build a flower hall like this in the future.

Old Master Liu was walking slowly over with his wife, when Zhao Yunlan got up and saluted.

"I've met the old man, old lady."

Old Master Liu smiled and said, "Sit down, sit down together and talk."

The old lady smiled kindly beside her and pinched Mr. Liu quietly.

Mr. Liu then introduced: "My wife was unwell the day before yesterday and kept recuperating. She was getting better today. I heard that you came over and wanted to see you."

Zhao Yunlan bowed to the old lady: "I must have seen the lady first. The civilian woman does not understand etiquette, so I hope the lady will forgive her."

The old lady smiled and said, "What are you saying? You helped our master to make this pepper seed alive. We should thank you."

Old Master Liu was a little anxious. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the record book of peppers brought by Zhao Yunlan. But the two of them were still greeting here, regardless of their anxiety. Then he changed the question and asked: "Miss Zhao, are you going to talk about peppers today?"

Zhao Yunlan: "Yes, Mr. Liu, the peppers I brought back have made some progress. I want to discuss them with Mr. Liu."

"Then wait a moment, Koizumi goes to the study and bring my records." Old Master Liu called out to the servant next to him and ordered.

The old lady was a little embarrassed because Old Master Liu interrupted the conversation just now. Zhao Yunlan looked at the old lady's depressed look and said, "Old lady, is it still a habit to live in Qingshui?"

Mrs. Wang: "It's a habit, but there's a lot of rain in summer and the sun is big, so I feel heavy in moisture."

Zhao Yunlan nodded: "The weather here has always been like this."

Old Master Liu continued from the side: "It was too hot a few days ago, and I had only been lying down for a few days at night."

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mr. Liu, and the old man obediently stopped.

Zhao Yunlan felt envious when she looked at the two elders' loving and warm appearance.

Koizumi came over with Mr. Liu's record and handed the record to Mr. Liu. The old man looked through it and said, "This is what I have recorded myself these days, you can take a look."

Zhao Yunlan took advantage of the situation and handed over his pepper record to Mr. Liu, and the two sides exchanged views.

Mrs. Wang asked the servants to refill Zhao Yunlan and then add some snacks.

Although Zhao Yunlan was reading these records, she also felt Mrs. Wang's thoughtfulness.

Mr. Liu recorded the record for the young master, Zhao Yunlan finished reading it in a while. Mrs. Wang saw that her husband was still reading Zhao Yunlan’s record book. The thick stack of feedback from planting to eating later was estimated that the old master would have to finish reading it in a while, so she gently moved closer to Zhao Yunlan.

"Miss Zhao, when did you learn to recognize words?" asked Mrs. Wang.

Zhao Yunlan told the truth: "I have learned this year at the beginning of spring, but I still don't know a lot of words."

Mrs. Wang said in surprise: "Miss Zhao is so smart."

Zhao Yunlan: "You can't be praised by the old lady!"

Mrs. Wang waved her hand: "This is the truth. Why did Miss Zhao learn to recognize words in the spring of this year?"

Zhao Yunlan said: "My husband is studying. Thinking that the two of them have little conversation on weekdays, and when they encounter changes in the spring of this year, they feel that they should know some words. After recognizing the words, they can understand some articles in the book. They find that the principles in the book are quite interesting, so they keep learning."

Mrs. Wang showed admiration in her eyes. No matter why she learned to recognize words, it was admirable that she was still studying now.

Mrs. Wang is also a person who loves reading books. From the Thousand Characters to the Four Books and Five Classics, to the strange stories in the book shop, the old lady has read them all. Mrs. Liu’s study is very large, because half of the books are collected by the old lady. The old lady can also argue with Mrs. Liu on weekdays and talk about national policies.

Mrs. Wang continued: "It's good to read! Reading makes people understand."

Zhao Yunlan nodded in agreement: "Yes, reading is reasonable."

When Mr. Liu saw it at the end, he suddenly shouted: "You have also cooked food!"

Mrs. Wang was frightened by this sudden sound: "You speak softly."

Old Master Liu slowed down: "Did you eat this pepper?"

Zhao Yunlan nodded. At this time, Mrs. Wang heard it clearly and was scared. She held Zhao Yunlan's hand and wanted to see if there was anything wrong.

Zhao Yunlan comforted the two elders: "I'm fine, and my family is fine."

Old Master Liu was a little anxious: "You are too nonsense, what if it is poisonous?"

Zhao Yunlan said: "I fed the chicken first before I ate it. I cooked the vegetables after eating it. In ancient times, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs, so there are so many medicinal herbs coming out now. Someone must be the first person!" Zhao Yunlan was guilty as she spoke. After all, she knew that this kind of pepper could be eaten, and she even said the words "first person".

Old Master Liu seemed to be convinced by Zhao Yunlan's words and continued to look at how the Li family felt after eating.

Zhao Yunlan took a sip of tea and suppressed her guilt.

After reading it, Old Master Liu asked in confusion: "So, this pepper can be eaten. It will sweat after eating it, which will make people feel comfortable and can also make you appetizing?"

Zhao Yunlan said: "This is how the people in our family give me feedback, and I think this pepper is appetizing."

Mrs. Wang was listening to the peppers being appetizing, so she wanted to give it a try. Mr. Liu said nervously: "Don't mess around, wait until I confirm again, you can't care about your body."

Mrs. Wang also knew the importance of it, so she gave up.

Old Master Liu fell into deep thought, and Zhao Yunlan continued: "I think if this pepper can make people feel warm, can eating it in winter drive away the cold?"

Old Master Liu's eyes were bright, he laughed and said, "I wonder if Miss Zhao's record can be handed over to me. If Mrs. Zhao's exploration is true, it will definitely be of great use."

Zhao Yunlan wanted to hand over this record to Mr. Liu, but she thought of something and continued to say: "Mr. Liu, I plan to plant this pepper next spring, this is it..."

Old Master Liu thought for a while: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to plant it next spring. Now you can't pick the peppers from the tree. Koizumi, go and ask Lao Sun to find a few people to protect the peppers, pick the mature peppers and keep them."

Zhao Yunlan didn't think about picking it again, and there were enough pepper seeds left at home. Mrs. Wang also wanted to invite Zhao Yunlan to stroll around the yard. Zhao Yunlan saw that it seemed to be raining, so she had to refuse.

Mrs. Wang didn't force it, and only invited Zhao Yunlan to come and have fun again next time.

When Zhao Yunlan left, Mrs. Wang also made some freshly cooked snacks for Zhao Yunlan.
