24. Chapter 24
I have heard it for a long time, and today I know the true face of Lushan.
Liu Xian Ling only stepped into the barracks after hearing the rumor, and the rebuilt site was very chaotic and noisy, and he knelt down with empty eyes: "Xiaguan Liu Xi, meet the eleventh prince." â
"Liu County, please get up, this prince has heard of your name for a long time, and he is like thunder."
"The lower officials don't dare to be the officials, because they have stepped up the construction of the embankment, they only came to see the eleventh prince today, and I ask you to forgive your sins."
This Liu Xi is the county official with the most clear sleeves that Zhou Yiyun has ever seen, a slightly older and outdated official uniform that should have been worn for a few years, the whitened cuffs are only afraid that they can only be filled with a breeze and nothing else, with clear eyebrows, a heroic and righteous body, neither humble nor arrogant, I don't know why Zhou Yiyun feels that he is covered with dust, so that he can't shine: "Liu County Order sit down, this prince heard Chen Tiezhu say that your merits, it's a pity to be buried here." â
"What good things can that old man say, don't take the eleventh prince too seriously, seeing you rebuild the barracks is really a great act of kindness, and the lower officials are just sitting in their seats and planning their own things."
"Oh?" Zhou Yiyun raised his eyebrows and asked: "Then why did you let the people in the barracks hide the hundreds of good horses in the back mountain, this is not your responsibility, have you ever thought about using this matter to change yourself to an official?" To sit in his place and not to do his job is to be incompetent; Sitting in his position, exceeding his business, is it for overstepping his authority and abusing his power and dereliction of duty, Liu County ordered you to say that you are right? â
Liu Xi scolded in his heart, the two hundred and five, and promised on his lips: "The lower official is indeed overstepping his authority but there is a reason for it, first, for the sake of love, the lower official refused to marry after high school that year, and delegated here, although the terrain is remote, but the lower official has been pressed and has never married, this truth should be known to the eleventh prince, even if he intends to report to the court, this layer of customs clearance is a blessing or a curse in the end, who would have expected?" Chen Tiezhu doesn't have any scheming, why bother making clothes for others? Second, for the sake of life, not only Chen Tiezhu and his subordinates, the barracks, but also the lives of the people in the entire town, this matter is publicized, how can there be peace here, I am afraid that I am fortunate enough to wait until the saint knows, these hundreds of good horses are just empty talk, and a few people can afford to blame at that time. The only hope in this battalion is those military horses, if they are lost, even if the Holy God does not punish them, how much life will they have to go? â
Chen Xi's frank questions made Zhou Yiyun very uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't talk about it harshly, but every sentence was a heart-wrenching move, which was supposed to make the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty strong, but because of his personal incompetence, he was suppressed and did not dare to show it in front of others.
"Then why did you agree to let Chen Tiezhu inform Prince Yuben?"
"The lower officials did not dare to deceive the eleventh prince, a few years ago, the previous general Wei intended to inform the eighth prince of the current dynasty of this matter, but later found that the eighth prince had more contact with the county order at that time, so he took this matter down, and said on his deathbed that he could only report directly to the saint or the prince, and could not let other officials know."
"So you mean, this prince has picked up a bargain?"
Liu Xi only smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Yiyun took the case: "Let's see how the grandfather turns the Eastern Zhou battalion into a strong soldier." After speaking, he snorted and walked out of the barracks, picked up the bag that was brushing pony hair, and went home. Chen Tiezhu looked at Zhou Yiyun, who was leaving angrily, and turned around and entered the barracks: "Alas, you are this virtuous person, no wonder you can't be promoted, I think the eleventh prince is really good, why did you offend him." â
"How can I build you a few barracks and you will be bought?"
", is that kind of person? The eleventh prince is much stronger than those who are officials, you don't know the hearts of good people. â
"Okay, I'm just telling the truth, it's my fault if he can't accept it, you better build your barracks, I'll go back to the county office."
Chen Tiezhu immediately smiled, hooked his shoulders and sent him out: "Our mother is okay, say hello to her old man, I can't get away from my busy body now, and I will go to see her when I am free." â
Liu Wu saw Zhou Yiyun angrily enter the wing, got into the quilt and began to raise the corpse, is this a blow? Liu Wu nodded at the cerebellum of the bag, and silently asked what the move meant, and the bag squeezed his shoulder: "I don't know, I'll go find the second father." "The calves ran out of the house, and the catkins were messy in the air. When you return to Beijing with a bag with a northeast accent in a certain month and a certain year, what kind of changes will occur? Liu Fu sat on the edge of the bed, suddenly stunned, now he is so used to contact with Zhou Yiyun? The corners of the mouth lightly picked up the old husband and wife mode when it started, and they didn't pay attention to it, ** what about the harm: "What's wrong?" â
Zhou Yiyun got his response, sat up suddenly, lowered his head and pounded the quilt, and said with his heart suffocated: "They all look down on this prince." â
"Yo, who is so bold, I secretly think about it in my heart, this person actually expressed it, talent." Catkins give someone a thumbs up. Liu Wu's joke did not resonate with Zhou Yiyun, and he was still seriously screaming with the quilt, Liu Wu had to comfort: "It's a good thing to be looked down upon, it's better than those who hold you every day with false affection and actually disdain you, what is loyalty?" Master should know very well. â
"You also look down on your grandfather in your heart." Dong Dong used more force, and Liu Wu tore off the quilt: "You are not finished, you can't stand this blow?" I knew what you were doing here, it was better to go back to Beijing to be your eleventh prince, Lao Tzu's temperament is like this, I can't learn those gentle and virtuous ladies, let you everywhere, you don't know what to do......" Zhou Yiyun stretched out his hand and pulled, and Liu Wu fell on the bed defenselessly. Xiao Ya quietly closed the door to help close, it was immoral.
At the dinner table, catkins turned a blind eye to other people's side eyes, men, who didn't have a full of warm thoughts, the bag was a little sullen, no need to ask the catkins to know the reason, it must be his second father for his language talent gave a bad review, for the number of etiquette in this aspect of catkins know that they are not as good as the native ancients, so he does not interfere, he found bad signs he can extinguish in time, crazy play for a few days It seems that it should be on the right track: "Baobao, I will start exercising with my father tomorrow, and I will learn words with your second father after breakfast, Would you like to go to your father in the afternoon? â
Bao Bao looked up at the catkins with a stern face, pouted and nodded.
"It is advisable to think and forge ahead, but it is not possible to achieve it quickly." Sandwiched a chopstick meat and put it in Zhou Yiyun's bowl, he heard Liu Wu's words, paused, picked up the meat in the bowl and ate it.
This period of time is normal, the grandfathers get up early and continue to work, only the minimum salary has no additional income, the catkins take the peach leaves followed by the bag morning exercise, often at the end of the only willow catkins back to the courtyard, the bag and the new playmates eat and drink, the people look at him and look cute and have a backstage, can also become a "sitting guest", the peach leaves pet inch by inch, play a few hours back to the courtyard to learn words, the bag goes to work in the afternoon, of course, what kind of body lĂŹ live in the courtyard people don't know, After the catkins took a nap, a few brothers also walked the streets and alleys, went down to the farmland to make a start, and occasionally climbed the mountain with the old man, each busy with each other, and lived happily in the countryside for a few months. But the amount of dirty clothes and meals of Xiaoya and Brother Chun has skyrocketed, and now there are four more mothers-in-law in the courtyard who are approaching to help.
Zhou Yiyun pulled the catkins into the wing, Xiaoya closed the door and retreated, the mother-in-law in the courtyard pursed her lips and smiled, the relationship between the husband and wife is really good, looking at them are envious. "Su'er's barracks are half built, and after thinking about it, it's time for a powerful weapon, although it's too safe and stable now, but you have to be ready at all times, right?"
Liu Fu touched his chin and immersed himself in his thoughts, and he has been paying attention to the changes in his body when he wears here, and he ignores it if he doesn't find any difference, but this beard has not grown for so long, and his chin is smooth and his skin is delicate. Zhou Yiyun couldn't wait for Liu Fu's answer and saw that he was out of spirit, so he hurriedly asked, "Su'er, Su'er, what's wrong with you?" â
"Huh?" Looking at Zhou Yiyun's nervous face, he realized that he wanted to be discovered: "What's the matter?" â
Seeing that he had just said his plan again, Liu Fu pondered and replied: "You already know the method of making a crossbow, and let Wang Fan go to Zhang Luo for gunpowder." Zhou Yiyun stepped forward and hugged the catkins tightly: "Su'er, you have been wronged, and your husband has always understood that your ambition is not only to live in the courtyard." â
Liu Wu patted him on the back: "This is very good, I will step forward if there is any need, I am not a person who wronged myself." Besides, do you think Wang Fan's big mouths will be tight-lipped? "I'm enjoying this kind of life now, so why don't I have anything to blame. In the previous life, I didn't know whether tomorrow was dead or alive, so I had no hope, and now when I am free, I always plan what I want to do tomorrow, which is enough and happy. Liu Wu pushed away Zhou Yiyun, who had already put his hands on it: "You plan to promote it on a large scale?" â
"The promotion is certain, but it is better to find a few trusted people to participate first, and the hot master doesn't want to make a stupid fuss if he doesn't step on the ground. By the way, Su'er will give another 1,000 taels to her husband, and make the soldier's winter clothes as soon as possible, so as not to be prepared until the cold is too late. â
"Need my help?"
Zhou Yiyun held Liu Wu's hand: "No, I have confessed to Chen Tiezhu." As a husband, I am already very satisfied with a wife as smart as you, and I never knew that a cow could make a difference. â
"They know a truth: contentment is always happy, and it can improve their lives, even if it is just a cow, it depends on whether you are a charcoal in the snow or fall into a well."
"Su'er is right, put the prospect out first, after the year, the grandfather plans to open this cultivated field, do you remember the large barren field you saw when you came? Ye'er inquired about Liu Xi at that time from the relocated peasant households for one or two taels of silver per household, and regulated these wasteland in the county government, and then bought and rented it to the people to cultivate, and the grain was filled into the barracks, do you think this is feasible? â
"Well, anyway, if you have any ideas, you can do it." Liu Fu affirmed his idea.
"I have time to take you to the town to have a look, you haven't been out for a long time."
"Don't be in a hurry, I have to help with the harvest recently, the field is very lively, and now the people in the courtyard are excited, wait for the freshness to talk about it."
Zhou Yiyun, who wanted to do some night activities before going to bed, was about to take action, but the catkins had already fallen asleep, Zhou Yiyun hung his head, is it really good to let his grandfather "stay alone in the empty room"? The grandfather is also on the rise.
When Zhou Yiyun was about to go out on the second day, Taoye hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Master, Taoye has something to discuss with you." â
"Huh?" Zhou Yiyun tilted his head: "What's the matter?" Does your master know? The guards behind him glanced at each other, and they must correct their goals in the future, and they must not hug the wrong thighs.
"Master, the master knows, let Taoye talk to the master and see if it is feasible."
"Come on, let's go into the hall and talk." Zhou Yiyun sat on the top seat: "You can also sit down, your master has always said that you have followed you thousands of miles away, and you can't be wrong." â
"Xie Ye'er." After Peach Leaf sat down, she filtered down the words before she spoke: "Master, the farming is coming to an end, Peach Leaf wants to set up a school in the courtyard to teach the little dolls in the neighborhood to learn calligraphy, and the bag also has a companion." You see......"
"Well, this idea is good, Ye Er agreed, I didn't expect that after you and Xu Er came into contact for a while, you also learned a few layers of his intelligence, not bad, when will Jian and Ye Er say goodbye, how about giving you a name?" Zhou Yiyun felt that such a good thing, he should also participate in it, this name is good and worth having.
"Xie Ye'er." Tao Ye didn't say it, but thought in his heart: Master, I have always been very smart, but you just haven't paid attention.
