Chapter 257: Confused
However, the old father was honest and honest all his life, and he said that he was wrong, and he, as a son, of course had to admit his mistakes.
"Children should not be arrogant, forget their ancestral teachings, and go to prison to worry their fathers and mothers. Whatever the father wants to punish, the son should obey. Zhang Zhengmin's kneeling was extremely heavy, and the sound of his knees hitting the bluestone slab also crashed into the hearts of everyone in the Zhang family.
"Huai Bolt, the child knows that he is wrong, just forgive him this time, he is also a person with status now, let him kneel like this, it is not good to pass it out. "The old people of the clan are already pleading.
The juniors stood solemnly aside, and they also recognized the words of several elders in their hearts.
"Since everyone is interceding for you, the two concubines have already been sent out, and I will not pursue it, but other things cannot go unpunished, the clan rules of the Zhang family cannot be broken just because you are the county master, you can go to the ancestral hall, and the juniors of the Zhang family will also set an example in the future." Rizheng said with a sigh.
"You're black-hearted, the child has just come back, you have to let him eat and catch his breath first, he has suffered so much in prison, and he has to ...... when he comes out" As soon as the aunt heard that she was going to let her son kneel in the ancestral hall, she couldn't help crying, Zhengxiu hurriedly came over to the round and said: "Father only said to let the eldest brother kneel in the ancestral hall, and didn't say that he would go without letting him eat, and when the eldest brother took a bath and eaten, we will accompany him again." ”
"Mother's Defeat!" Li Zheng shook his head and sighed, shook his hand and turned to the back yard.
Didn't he feel sorry for his son? Didn't he know that he had suffered in prison? Otherwise, based on the mistakes he had made, how could he have knelt down in an ancestral hall?
"Woman's kindness!" he muttered as he entered the study depressedly.
"Uncle Lizheng, if you want me to say that you and Uncle Niang are half a catty, don't say anything about anyone. The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, teach the son in person, raise his hand and put it down gently, Brother Zhengmin is really blessed to have a father like you. Everyone dispersed, and Shumin also followed Li Zheng into the backyard, and when he heard Li Zheng muttering, he couldn't help but feel funny.
"Hui'er Niang, you can still see it, your aunt must be resentful of me at this time. Rizheng smiled bitterly.
"How can it, you and your aunt are deeply in love. I've tinkered with some new soap recipes here. Shumin pulled out a few pages of recipes, which were all hens that lay golden eggs, and they were very precious.
"Now I divide these formulas into three parts, and the three masters are responsible for one of the links, so as not to accidentally be pitted. Li Zheng took the recipe and carefully hid them in a book in front of Shu Min.
"Uncle Lizheng is still thoughtful. Shumin smiled: "If it's okay, I'll go out first, today Brother Zhengmin is released from prison, and there is a banquet at home, and it will be a loss if you go late." ”
"I can do without you. Li Zheng was amused by her, waved her hand to let her over, remembered something, and said: "Master Yao has been looking for you many times recently, but you have avoided it, if there is a misunderstanding, it is better to make it clear as soon as possible." Today's banquet also invited Master Yao......"
"How can there be a misunderstanding?!" As soon as Shumin heard that Yao Su would come, he immediately said with a weak heart, "It's just that there are too many things to worry about." I remembered that I still had important things at home, and now I have to go back!"
After speaking, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and took a detour back to the small door in the backyard with a weak heart.
Li Zheng looked at the back of Shumin leaving in a hurry, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was even more puzzled in his heart.
Is there really something going on between her and Master Yao?
Thinking of the situation when the two of them got along before, he couldn't see the changes in Yao Su's eyes when he was old and sophisticated, but Shumin was there, and there was also a Zhao commander of the royal army in the capital.
Could it be that this is the reason why Shumin avoided him?
Thinking of this, Li Zheng's brows furrowed even deeper, although Shumin is a divorced woman, but she is in her prime, and she is not an ordinary woman, in his eyes, no matter how good a man in the world is, she can match, but the identities of these two people are unusual, and the background is extremely complicated, I am afraid that it will be a curse or a blessing!
After Shumin came out of Zhang's house, he deliberately took a remote path and returned to Minyuan, and he was secretly glad that he had escaped again, but he didn't want to hear a cough behind him, which made Shumin tremble.
What should have come is still coming.
"Master Yao, good ...... What a coincidence. Shu Min smiled and waved his hand weakly.
"Is it a coincidence?" Yao Su snorted coldly and said, "Yao has been waiting for a long time. ”
He sat at a small stone table in the middle of the courtyard, the tea in the celadon bowl still steaming.
Today's Zhang family held a banquet, Mama He took Liu Er and other children to Zhang's house early in the morning, there was no one in the courtyard, who boiled this tea?
She didn't believe he would go to the kitchen to boil the water himself. Thinking of the guards who appeared behind him, Shu Min looked around the courtyard a little nervously, and thought: Could it be that there are already many guards in ambush around this courtyard?!
If that's the case, she's going to have a hard time flying today.
Yao Su saw that her eyes looked at the yard seemingly inadvertently, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and thought angrily, "Even if it's only Ben Hou, do you think you can run? Ben Hou let you hide two days ago, I want to see how long you can hide!"
"Alas...... In the end, I still couldn't calm down!" Yao Su sighed, slowly got up and walked towards Shumin.
Shu Min immediately retreated unconsciously and slowly like a cat and mouse.
But how old Minyuan is, she will soon have no way to retreat.
The whole person was attached to the door panel that had just been tied by herself, her eyes flickering, and she looked a little overwhelmed and a little pitiful.
"Why did you bolt the door just now?" she thought to herself.
Yao Su didn't seem to intend to let her go, and walked up to her, almost about to stick to her, to be exact, before he looked at her condescendingly and said:
"Madame, doesn't she have anything to say to Yao?"
It was so close that she could hear the sound of his heart beating in his chest, and for the first time, Shumin realized that he was so tall that he was like a mountain pressing down on top of her head.
The wind blew, blowing a few petals from the peach tree in the courtyard, and the petals fell on the top of his head, as well as on his shoulders, and the crystal water droplets that came with him emitted a brilliant light in the sun.
Xu was too close, the beating sound of the heart was too strong and rhythmic, and Shumin's heart seemed to beat with that beat.
"That's a ...... Misunderstand. Halfway through, Shu Min stared at the gaze above his head, squeezing out a few words from the mountain-like pressure.
"Hmph...... Misunderstanding?" he expected, but he didn't expect this woman to say it again.
Is it all because of that Zhao Wenjie? Could it be that he is a dignified Chu Marquis, a relative of the emperor and a relative of the country, and he is not as good as that notorious little commander?!
Thinking of this, Yao Su's eyes suddenly sharpened, and his originally unhappy mood became a little angry
"If that's a misunderstanding, then what about this?!"
Before Shumin could react, a domineering kiss with some anger restrained her lips, not allowing her to resist in the slightest.
Yao Su demanded it wantonly, and did not let her go until her cheeks were red from lack of oxygen and her lips were as red as blood. Seeing her clutching her chest and panting in embarrassment, he automatically ignored her resentful eyes, and with a little smugness, opened the courtyard door and stepped out.
"The luncheon is about to start, I'm a guest, it's rude to be late. ”
Shumin finally came back with a breath, looking at the back of the figure who had already strode away, and felt a little dazed.
"Where to hide?" she thought weakly, stroking the red and swollen lips.
Zhengmin knelt in the ancestral hall for three days before returning to the Yamen, these days he was imprisoned, and the Yamen had a backlog of many things, especially the matter of the two crops of rice, although the holy decree above was a bit high-sounding, but he knew that if there was no good explanation for this matter, not only his career, but also his life.
Of course, if the two crops of rice are really successful, then there is a good road in front of him.
To this end, at Shumin's suggestion, Zhengmin personally set up a technical guidance team, which was led by Liu Zhushu, and Zhang Zhengjian and Zhang Zhengshun respectively led a group of villagers from Baili Village, who had participated in the experimental fields, to various townships and towns to teach the villagers how to sow seeds and raise seedlings, as well as transplant and later cultivation.
Under the attention of the whole country of the Apocalypse, Linjiang County took the lead in launching the prelude and was in full swing.
Some people are happy and some are worried, most of the land in Linjiang Town is fertile, and the western region is relatively poor, but it is better than the population.
The two crops of rice from the sowing, seedling, transplantation, than the previous planting more processes, especially transplantation, but also requires a lot of labor and time, the surplus labor force in the west once again poured into the east in large quantities, which is a temporary solution to the labor problem.
However, there is a township where Li Zheng can't sit still, they are poor and remote in Washan Township, and they have been digging and building kilns endlessly in the early years, and they have long had no land to cultivate. Most of the young and strong people have left for their livelihoods, leaving only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.
Seeing that other towns were farming, he was very busy, and his eyes were so red that his eyebrows were much whiter.
After countless nights of tossing and turning, he decided to go to Madame Qin.
Because Mrs. Qin said that she can make Washan Township return to its former prosperity.
Before dawn that day, he drove the old oxen, and the ox cart was covered with a high pile of straw, and the straw was stuffed with clay pots that he had treasured for a long time.
These crockpots, even if they are sold in the market, are rare and good, and large families must like them.
These crockpots, once someone paid a lot of money and he refused to sell them, but now he is sending them away, just hoping to change the future and hope for Washan Township.
He drove the ox cart, alone, with two large dry biscuits in his arms, and his heart was a little up and down.
What he was most worried about along the way was whether Shumin would agree to his request, and as for whether she could or not, this question had been ignored by him.
Like all the villagers in Linjiang Town, he had long thought that Shu Min was an immortal entrusted by the gods, and there was nothing she couldn't do, just whether she was happy or not.
