Chapter 140: The edge of the edge is not commendable
In the scorching sun, the peasants were sweating profusely, bending down and burying their heads in the fields, harvesting wheat stalks with long sickles, peasant women and young children who had just learned to walk carried baskets on their backs to pick up the remains in the fields, and the sound of wheat threshing in the farm outside the ridges not far away came and went. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The vast golden sea of wheat is churning in the hot wind, and it is very magnificent from a distance. Gu Qingxuan tied a bundle of wheat stalks and carried them to the edge of the ridge and put them into the grain pile, put away the sickle, sat on the stalk and rested for a while, twisted an ear of wheat in his dirty hand, he raised it and looked at it carefully, the color was good, but the grain was not plump enough, and the shell was deflated when he pinched it.
This year, there is less rain in spring and more drought in summer, and the cultivated fields around Chang'an are still like this, not to mention the places further north?
It seems that this year will not be a good year either.
The people will suffer another year.
He put the tassel back into the heap, wiped the sweat from his face, fanned the wind with his hat, raised his eyes up, looked directly at the scorching sun, and lowered his eyes to the busy peasants.
Several elderly farmers came with freshly harvested wheat, laughing loudly and speaking with a strong northerner accent. They were originally refugees who had left their homeland, but they came to Chang'an and were placed in this southern suburb farm by Gu Qingxuan, so they had a place to farm, and they admired Gu Qingxuan very much.
When they first came, Gu Qingxuan was only a seven-grade master book, and at this time he was already in the middle of the three-grade imperial history of the dynasty, but they didn't know this, I saw that he often came here with a hoe to work with them, they wouldn't call him Mr. Lord, nor would they say anything about official courtesy, they would only call him Master Gu naively, gossiping with him in the field, how old are the children, when will they hold their grandchildren......
Gu Qingxuan sat comfortably on the edge of the field and laughed with a few old farmers, there was the sound of a carriage coming from the ridge, and he heard someone calling "Lord!" from a distance, he turned his head to see that it was Uncle Tang who was driving, and he was expected to come to bring him water and food.
The carriage stopped in a wide place, Tang Bo did not come directly, but opened the canopy door, Gu Qinghuan and Gu Qingning got out of the car one after another and walked towards him, walking in a hurry.
Gu Qingxuan sighed secretly and shook his head......
Because he has already figured out the rules, usually Uncle Tang comes to him alone, the world is peaceful, if Gu Qingfeng comes with him, he must be here to report something good, if the eldest son and eldest daughter come, then something has happened, if the two of them come together, the situation will be very bad......
"Father, go home quickly!" they walked briskly to this side, and Gu Qingning shouted to him from afar.
Gu Qingxuan looked at the two of them in confusion: "What's the matter, what's wrong?"
To his surprise, Gu Qingning looked happy, dragged his hand and said, "Father, the prince of Jinxuan came to our mansion and said that he wanted to negotiate with you about the marriage between Qingfeng and the county lord, you should go back quickly!
Sure enough, it's still not a good thing......
Gu Qingning is a fan of the authorities, Gu Qinghuan is much more sober about this matter, there is a secret speculation in his heart, he looks at Gu Qingxuan's expression, and asks, "Father, what do you think?"
He shrugged his shoulders, "What else can I think? The prince has come to the door, can I not show up?"
"Alright, let's go, father. Gu Qingning urged him to get in the car.
He raised his hand and motioned for them to go first, and he bent down to collect his farm tools and teapot, and said goodbye to the farmer.
Dressed in brocade clothes, he walked cautiously through the fields, dressed in a short cloth coat and a bamboo hat, his cheeks red from the scorching sun and his beard dry, and he walked slowly.
The two of them found that their father did not follow, and when they looked back, they saw that on the ridge, Gu Qingxuan was moving heavily, as if he was uncomfortable.
They hurriedly turned back and went to help Gu Qingxuan.
However, before he could run in front of him, he saw Gu Qingxuan stagnating in one place, his body began to shake, and he was unstable, suddenly collapsed, and plunged into the field......
"Father!"
They rushed over in horror and found that Gu Qingxuan was already unconscious, so they hurriedly carried him into the carriage with everyone and sent him back to the city to be treated by a doctor.
……
This is the second time that the Jinxuan Mansion has come to the Gu Mansion to formalize the marriage between Gu Qingfeng and the county lord of Chengshuo with the Gu family.
He still didn't listen to Qiao Huai'an's advice, and chose to marry another family again, the last time he married the most prominent family in Chang'an City, and this time he married the most promising family in Chang'an City in his opinion.
When he arrived, he learned that Gu Qingxuan, the head of the Gu family who was at home, had gone to the south of the city to farm, and the eldest daughter of the Gu family asked him to wait and let Gu Qingfeng entertain the prince at home.
However, who would have thought that he waited for a while, only waiting for Gu Qingxuan, who was in a coma from heat stroke, to be carried back, and he was unconscious, how could he say anything?
The children of the Gu family had no choice but to send him off first, make amends to him, and please discuss it another day.
If it weren't for Gu Qingfeng's coaxing, I'm afraid he would have been furious, and he couldn't wait for Gu Qingxuan to wake up, so he could only leave with a black face.
……
In the evening, when Gu Qingxuan woke up, he had changed into a clean silk coat, with a cool handkerchief on his forehead, smelling the fragrance of tea in the room, and there was a little sound of falling in the house.
In the bedroom of the main house of the Gu family, there is a chess table and a tea case not far from the bed.
"Brother Gu Xian, can you take a comfortable nap?" someone asked.
Gu Qingxuan sat up, took off the handkerchief, cleared his throat, and listened to the chirping of summer cicadas in the courtyard outside, showing a shallow smile, and put on his clothes: "When did the Prime Minister come?" The lower official is slightly ill and slack, so be considerate." ”
"Oh, it was not long after the prince of Jinxuan left, he came to play chess with the virtuous brother, who would have heard that the virtuous brother had a heat stroke and fell into a coma, the old man couldn't rest assured, and he waited here for the virtuous brother to wake up. Yin Jiheng said with a smile, still concentrating on the chess game according to "Immortal Machine".
Gu Qingxuan stretched his limbs, walked over, bowed for a while, sat down opposite him, and watched the chess game: "Thank you Prime Minister for your concern, and the lower officials are grateful." ”
Yin Jiheng didn't pick up the child, but took the pot in his hand, poured two cups of herbal tea, and naturally pushed one cup in front of Gu Qingxuan, as if the master was doing it, and said calmly: "The old man doesn't dare not think about you, the virtuous brother, if you don't pay attention, you will be someone else's in-laws, and if the old man doesn't care about it, I'm afraid he will be estranged from the virtuous brother." ”
"Huh. Gu Qingxuan disagreed, "If you really want to be in-laws with other families, Gu Mou will not 'suffer from heat stroke' today, the prime minister is too worried, the Gu family is shabby, and he can't climb into a famous family, he just wants to have a stable room." ”
"But how can the prince of Jinxuan allow you to be 'stable'? I am afraid that the marriage between the prince and the county lord cannot be postponed. Yin Jiheng said.
can't push it off, of course it can't be pushed off, Gu Qingxuan understands this better than anyone else.
Gu Qingfeng had already confessed his heart to himself, he must marry the county lord, and the county lord must also marry him. Putting aside what Jinxuan Wangfu has and what interests are clinging, just talking about this family business, how can he not let Qingfeng get his wish?
He said that as long as Qingfeng wants, he will fight for him, and he gives him the right to choose the greatest extent, which is what a father should do.
Today's scene is not for King Jin Xuan, but for Yin Jiheng.
So he looked even more helpless at this time, and sighed: "Eh, why did the county lord take a fancy to me? How could I have thought that after destroying a family of relatives in the Jinxuan Palace, I would become his family? This is really a trick." Prince Jin Xuan has always been iron-fisted, saying that it is not the same, Gu can pretend to be once and escape once, what can I do in the future?"
Yin Jiheng looked at him with such a sad look and asked, "Brother Gu Xian really doesn't want to marry the Jinxuan Palace?"
Gu Qingxuan spread his hands dejectedly: "Why is it that at this point, the Prime Minister still doesn't understand Gu's intentions?"
Yin Jiheng snorted and laughed: "It's just because Brother Gu Xian's mind is too difficult to figure out." ”
