Chapter 39: Easier
There is no wine seller in Guojia Village, Guojia Village does not sell anything except grain, and the people in Guojia Village never need to sell grain, and the people in Guojia Village grow their own grain.
It's not that no one knows how to make wine, it's that no one is willing to make wine with grain. A stone of grain was thrown in, and there was not much wine to come out, and although life in the past two years was much better, it was far from the extent that food could be wasted.
I had to ride the old ox to buy wine, walk slowly on the road, look at the growing wheat field, the years between the world are long, and I never treat all living beings badly.
When riding on the back of a cow, the feeling will be slowed down, and everything around you will slow down with the feeling.
The teacher's sentence "People can always be pure, and heaven and earth will return." "I don't know if it's written on the back of a cow.
When I came back, I met Chen Ping.
Chen Pingzheng led a team of people, riding fast horses, and galloped in the direction of Chang'an.
When I saw that it was him, I stopped the scalper and shouted by the roadside, "Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry?"
Chen Ping still remembered me, hurriedly reined in the horse, and said on the horse: "The Queen Mother is seriously ill, and she urgently ordered me to enter the palace to discuss matters." Wu Qi, are you still living in Guojia Village?"
I said, "It's still in Guojia Village, and I haven't moved, so let's go quickly!"
Chen Ping nodded and hurried away.
didn't go back to his house, he went directly to Rong Rong's house, the house will take a while to be built, Daji and Rong Rong still live here.
A jar of wine, a roast chicken, and two side dishes fried by Daji.
Call Rong Rong and sit around the table together. Rong Rong is still wearing filial piety for her mother, according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, she has to keep filial piety for three years, can't drink alcohol, and doesn't even eat meat.
Her mood has calmed down a lot, but she is still a little sad, Daji has been taking care of her these days and accompanying her out of this sad time.
Daji wondered how I would take the initiative to ask her for a drink.
I explained: "The years are long, and you can't escape life and death. A big drunken may have a little comfort. ”
I tapped a few times on my body under Daji's gaze, but I realized that I was negligent. My cultivation can't be lowered to the Heavenly Immortals, and once it falls, it will automatically abdicate. I don't have the idea of abdicating my position at the moment, and I don't expect it to be in the future, the underworld is my home now, and I only have this one home now.
Daji looked at me with a smile, waiting to see what I would do.
Rong Rong didn't pay attention to this, he was just serving us food and vegetables.
I said, "If you forgot to take the jar wine, you can eat it first, and you don't have to wait for me." ”
Hurriedly got up and came out, the wine in the mortal world can't get drunk on me, Du Kang's wine is always okay. sent a message to the second child and waited slowly.
The dick is so fast that I suspect he's lazy.
It hadn't been half an hour when the wine arrived.
The second child said to me through the ghost gate: "Lao Jiu, your wine, good boy, you want Yan Jun to send you wine to drink when you are happy in the world!"
I laughed and said, "Why don't you come along?"
The second child shook his head with a smothered face and said, "I'm not drunk, so I can't make do with you." When are you coming back? The Emperor of Heaven has approved the rest system of Yan Jun submitted by Yi Zhi, and every hundred years in the future, there can be a Yan Jun who will take a vacation for ten years, and Yuding will stay in the underworld and be a special alternate Yan Jun!"
I said, "I'm going to have to wait a few more years, what are you doing as an alternate?
The second said with a smile: "Yuding, this old rabbit doesn't want to work, let's work for a hundred years and rest for ten years, he will work for ten years and rest for ninety years, this little old man is very smart!"
"Haha" I laughed and said: "Yuding is worthy of being Yuding, very smart!"
The second child asked again: "What do you feel in the world?"
I said: "I have a lot of feelings, maybe what you said is right, the gods are too far away from the world, so they are stuck in the realm." ”
The second said: "When you come back, I will take a ten-year vacation, and I will also go to the world for a turn." ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, maybe I can turn out a Da Luo Jin Immortal in this turn!"
The second child listened to my jokes, closed the ghost door with a smile, and didn't entangle with me.
Carrying the wine back to the table, Daji and Rongrong did not move, obviously waiting for me.
Putting down the wine jar, she looked at Daji with a little arrogance, and was pinched twice by her under the table. I don't know whose mother-in-law she learned from, she couldn't do this before.
One meal, two jars of wine, the days on earth are both boring and interesting. Boring is repeating the previous day's events day after day, and fun is doing the same thing and feeling differently at different times.
Don't dare to drink too much, we take care of Rongrong, not let Rongrong take care of it.
Daji went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and I asked Rong Rong, "What kind of room do you want?"
Rong Rong said: "I want a room like here, can you pick up your godfather?"
I know that she is reluctant to remember here, many of her memories are here, her mother took her from Dingtao all the way to here, away from that sad land, and found warmth and happiness here, it is indeed worth her reluctance.
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, godfather will build you an exact house." ”
Building a house is really not an easy task, laying a deep foundation, laying bricks layer by layer, and the daily progress is pitiful.
Halfway through the house, Chen Ping found me.
The prime minister of the Han Dynasty seemed to be very unhappy, carrying two jars of wine and throwing the entourage of the sergeant outside the courtyard.
I found a few bricks and sat down, and said to me, "Drink!"
I was puzzled, but I took it anyway.
Chen Ping, as a high-ranking official at the top of the Han Dynasty, shouldn't have too much intersection with me, a grass people, but he did have an intersection, and now he is still looking for me to drink.
Chen Ping did not have the consciousness of being a prime minister at this time, so he poured the wine jar into his stomach, and the wine wet his clothes, like a rotten drunk in the countryside.
"Wu Qi, why don't you want to be an official?"
I smiled and said, "I remember telling adults that the world's achievements are not what I want. ”
Chen Ping waved his sleeves and said: "If you don't seek merit in the world, don't you want to become an immortal? Wait for a hard life, and you won't see the daylight soaring, born in the world, if you don't make meritorious contributions, you will inevitably lose your ambition." ”
I said: "When Gaozu and Xiang Yu saw the frame of Qin Shi Huangdi, Gaozu said, 'The husband should be like this', and Xiang Yu said, 'He can replace him'." Then the second fainted, the volunteers rose everywhere, Xiang Yu called the overlord of Western Chu, commanding the world. Gaozu was defeated and fought repeatedly, and destroyed Western Chu. Xiang Yu and Gao Zu's deeds, greatly?"
Chen Ping said: "Xiang Yu has indeed divided the kings and commanded the world. Gaozu also ascended the throne and sat on the throne. The deeds of the two are great. ”
I laughed and said, "Where are you now?"
Chen Ping's color changed, and it seemed that there was something wrong with talking about the founding emperor of the current dynasty, and he looked at it in a blink of an eye, and there was no one around, so he said: "Xiang Yu was buried in Ludi, and Gaozu was buried in Changling." ”
I said again: "Wait for the strategizing, decisive victory, revenge for South Korea, and assist Gaozu to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, is it a great achievement?"
Chen Ping said: "It's big. ”
I said, "What do you want to stay for the rest of your life?"
Chen Ping thought for a moment and said, "Wait for what you want, Immortal Dao Er." ”
I smiled and asked, "Does the prime minister know now?"
Chen Ping said with a smile: "Hugh has to argue strongly, if you have this talent and not use it for the country, isn't it a dereliction of duty for me, the prime minister." What can you do if you are recruited into the court in a few days?"
I said, "I put on my court clothes and obey the dispatch." ”
Chen Ping laughed and said, "Drink! Drink!"
Chen Ping got drunk and left, but he never said why he came to me for a drink.
I know that because Lu Pheasant is not dead, he and many officials will continue to endure. Lu Pheasant used the body of a woman to crush these heroes left by Liu Bang to death. There was only one such woman in the past, and the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan failed to do her step, and the Empress Dowager Xuan chose to be reincarnated after staying in hell for a few years, let go of all merits and demerits, and accompanied Qin Huiwen and Wang Yingsi into reincarnation together.
Thinking that Lu Pheasant would not make the same choice, there is nothing left of her and Liu Bang's affection.
Lu Pheasant doesn't have much time left, and Emperor Xing has already chosen a new master. This son, who is not valued by Liu Bang, will be the next master of this empire, but he doesn't know how he will succeed to the throne.
Liu Bang probably wouldn't have thought that he just spoiled Bo Ji casually and gave birth to a son, and he would actually become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Lu Pheasant collapsed in Weiyang Palace in July.
I didn't go to see her, my house wasn't finished yet. Chang'an's Chenghuang and Guan Longxiao sent her down to the underworld, and I heard that they were not very harmonious after meeting Liu Bang.
Daji sat in the courtyard with Rong Rong and watched us build a house.
I have built the wall, and today I will put up the beam.
Guo Lao Er was found by me, and he took a few young men from the village with him.
When Guo Zhong died, Guo Lao Er was not very happy with Guo Lao because of the family property, and the two families did not have much contact with each other until now, but fortunately, it did not affect the relationship with the neighbors.
It is unlikely that Guo Zhong will know these things below, and the last time he saw Guo Zhong following Han Xin, he didn't know if he was still there. This old man didn't lie when he was alive, he was really a soldier under Han Xin.
Guo Lao Er shouted the trumpet, and several people put the nailed wooden beams on it and fixed it.
They helped me a lot, and I really couldn't put the wooden beams up without revealing my identity.
Daji and Rongrong made a meal to thank them, and everyone was very bold enough to ask them for help at any time if they needed it. Actually, from the very beginning of building the house, they said they wanted to help, but I really wanted to try to do it myself.
Rong Rong also needs time to calm down the sentimentality of his mother's death, and the time is not urgent, so I have been doing it myself for a long time, and now I am almost done, so naturally I will not fake it to others, and if I can do it myself, I will do it myself.
The roof is covered with thick thatch, which has grown a lot on the Honggu Plain, and I made a lot of it in the spring and dried it for later use. There is always a lot of wind in Guanzhong, and the thatch on the roof is always easy to blow away.
I went to buy some paint and started painting the walls. Painting the walls is also a technical job, and Daji and Rongrong smiled at me and looked at me to make myself disgraced. Rong Rong has been a lot happier recently, and is gradually turning back to the optimistic and cheerful girl she used to be.
I know that there is no way to go back to the time that has passed, whether it is a human, a ghost, or a god, you can't go back to your former self. Everyone has been changed over time, becoming more mature and wiser.
People's emotions are the most abundant, and there are many changes, only happiness is the rarest. If you can't go back to the old days, you can at least find the happiness you once had, or rather, the happiness similar to the past.
Zhu Lu rebelled, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo mobilized the defenders of Chang'an, and slaughtered Zhu Lu in the name of violating the alliance of Gaozu and White Horse. Not long after Lu Pheasant died, he destroyed Lu Hou's family.
I don't know if that woman will cause trouble in the underworld, but according to the time, she should have gone to hell to be tortured by now. Yi Zhi sentenced her to ten years of Daoshan Hell, which was not harsh.
Chen Ping is in power, and Zhou Bo is ambitious. glanced at Liu Bang's sons, and finally selected Liu Heng, the acting king.
Liu Heng repeatedly wandered between joy and fear, and finally came to Chang'an worriedly.
Liu Heng became the emperor of this empire in a peaceful way. His mother, Bo Ji, who was forgotten by Liu Bang, became the second empress dowager of the Han Dynasty after Lu Pheasant.
Liu Heng held a grand sacrifice in front of Liu Bang's mausoleum and burned several volumes of sacrificial texts. The sacrifice will be stored in the underworld, and the sacrificial text will be notified by the ghost to Liu Bang to collect it.
Liu Bang's expression will definitely be interesting.
I didn't have much time to think about what Liu Bang thought, I was moving Rong Rong with a big bag and a small bag.
Today is a good day, everybody says so. The new emperor ascended the throne and issued an edict to amnesty the world. Rong Rong also chose to move today, maybe this ordinary day is really a good day.
I declined the help of my neighbors, and only three people, Daji and Rongrong, carried Rongrong's belongings in large bags.
Mrs. Su left Rongrong a few acres of land, some family belongings, and some money.
I took over the cultivation of the fields, and I planned to sell all the grain I harvested, and the money from the sale was saved for Rong Rong, which was the dowry prepared for her by her mother. Naturally, the family belongings were taken to the new home for use, and as for the money, Daji kept it first.
I discussed with Daji that Mrs. Su died early, so she couldn't prepare any dowry for Rong Rong, and the belongings she left behind were not rich. In addition to this, we plan to leave some money out as a dowry for Rong Rong.
My harvest is good, but Daji and I don't care much about money, after all, everything in the world is not very practical for me except for some meaning. So I didn't think about saving some money to use it, but now it's different, we have a goddaughter, so naturally we have to think about her.
About Rong Rong's move, I wrote a letter to Mrs. Su, and by the way, I informed her about the arrangements for her estate and Rong Rong's recent situation. She is now living well in the underworld, she has been born and accumulated, she has not done any evil things, and she can live a good life in the underworld. Most of the ghosts are similar to her family's situation, there are no evil people in the whole family, and small mistakes will also settle cause and effect in future reincarnation.
Mrs. Su's reply only stated some of her life in the underworld, and she knew that Rong Rong would not see her letter, so she didn't write much. I just expressed my thoughts about the woman, and reaffirmed my trust in Daji and me, and thanked us for taking care of Rongrong.
Immortals don't covet mortals for anything, Mrs. Su has paid attention to our identity again in the underworld, and she is very relieved.
Rong Rong moved into his new home with laughter.
Daji specially cooked, made a table of good dishes, no meat, Rong Rong has been a vegetarian since his mother passed away.
Daji's skills are getting better and better, the food is getting more delicious, and Rongrong and I have eaten a lot more.
