Chapter 52: Three-Foot Green Clothes
The north is martial, and the south is good to praise. In the south, the kingdom of Chen, the kingdom of Jin, including the southern Zhao Hetuo, you can see everywhere the people who sing on the festival, the farmers and peasant women who return home from hoeing, the traders who enter the market, the children who play, the wanderers who travel, and the scholars who travel around the world.
On the way to the outskirts of the field, the carriage left the city and led to the suburbs, and happened to meet a few drooping children who were singing praises, clapping their hands, jumping and chirping all the way, and happily like a flock of birds flying freely.
Seeing a carriage coming from afar, the children ran over from the opposite side and sang loudly: "Broken bamboo, continue bamboo." Flying earth, chasing the earth. "Go and cut down wild bamboos and connect them to make bows. Shoot mud bombs and hunt down prey.
"Hey, boy, what are you singing?"
An abrupt voice interjected, breaking the crisp and melodious singing.
Seven or eight children stopped at the same time, their eyes widened, and they looked up at the tall horse's head, a little timid: "Is my sister an immortal from heaven?" ”
When Gongsun Zixi, who was sitting on horseback, heard this, he immediately laughed: "My sister didn't come from heaven, but she has to go to heaven to be an immortal." Little boy, tell me, how to get to Baling? ”
She leaned down and looked at the innocent and lovely children with a pair of gentle and charming eyes, the children's big black eyes flashed, and their fingers pointed in the same direction, and they exchanged ears and talked about it.
"There are really immortals, Daddy didn't lie to me."
"I heard from A-Niang that there are fairies and rabbits living in the Moon Palace, and there is a man who cuts down trees day and night, he is so pitiful, he must not know that the sun god punished him to cut down an immortal tree."
"Can't sleep all the time? It's really pitiful, so it's better to let my sister help him. ”
"Hey, where are the people?"
Yuan Lingjun sat in the front of the car and shook his waist vigorously to relieve fatigue, listening to the various sounds coming from the way, but for a moment, his whole body was still soaked.
At this time, the curtain was suddenly lifted upward, and the bright sunlight hit his face, and Yuan Ling raised his fan to block it.
When the curtain fell, a person sat down beside her leisurely, unceremoniously pushed her aside, and took up most of the position.
Yuan Lingjun opened her mouth wide, glared at the young woman who was groping around on her, and howled like a ghost.
"Long time no see, accident."
"Gongsun...... Gongsun Zixi? ”
"Remember to call the girl! Good niece. Gongsun Zixi tugged at her sleeve, shook out a piece of dough, bit it into her mouth, and complained vaguely, "Come all the way...... I almost didn't kill the girl, I miss my delicate face...... It's also the beauty of the Jin Kingdom. ”
Yuan Lingjun had a bitter face, and stared at the cake that had already eaten most of it painfully: "Girl, that's my cake." ”
"I know, it's yours to take it, and I'm afraid of poisoning other people." took a bite of it, cheekily snatched Yuan Lingjun's waist fan, and shook it slowly, "Good niece, you have to eat less, the girl is too fat and not good-looking, not to mention that they are all people with husbands, and they are still pretty men who don't eat fireworks in the world, and they are not shallow." Hmm, the cake is not bad...... Don't blame the girl, I didn't warn you, the old man listened. ”
Seeing that Yuan Lingjun continued to stare at her with resentful eyes, Gongsun Zixi snorted, ignored it completely, and continued to complain, "It's hot, hungry, I haven't seen a resting house after walking for several miles, and the girl's eyes are almost bulging into cow eyes." Look at my pair of watery phoenix eyes, the thief has suffered ......"
I must have owed you a lot in my previous life and my previous life, and I will be tossed endlessly in this life and this life. Yuan Lingjun took advantage of her lack of attention to recapture the fan: "What is the girl doing here?" ”
"It's a long story, and let me sleep and talk to you when I wake up."
In the spirit of "it's a fool not to take advantage of your niece", continue to take advantage. Gongsun Zixi pillowed Yuan Lingjun's leg and quickly fell asleep.
A long drought without rain is not the luck of the country and the luck of the common people. People say that when a natural disaster occurs, it must be a king who is not virtuous. From ancient times to the present, the emperors of all dynasties have trembled for this. Withdraw the joy and reduce the meal, avoid the temple to pray for blessings, and go to the altar to sacrifice the rain...... In order to pray for rain and alleviate the drought, the emperors of the southern countries have taken practical actions, and the people have congratulated them.
Surrounded by green trees, birds singing and flowers, only the land is cracked because of lack of water, and the gaps of different sizes are evenly arranged.
The barren scene in front of him made Yuan Lingjun's heart like a knife. She doesn't know anything about government affairs, but she also understands the importance of land to the people, not only to the people, but also to the fate of a country. If there is no food to feed the stomach, it will not be able to support and reproduce offspring, the population will be drastically reduced, and there will be no human reproduction as the fundamental guarantee of the country.
Yuan Lingjun came to a clod of earth that was as hard as a stone and sat down, and looked at it from afar, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and she would inevitably be irritable in her heart.
Seeing that the deadline agreed with Fan Jiang is getting closer and closer, the matter of drought control is still at a loss.
She's really a useless bale.
"It's better to follow the original plan, the king, and divert water to irrigate the fields, which can solve the emergency." Gunshou Road.
"The prince of the government can think about where to draw water from, there has been no rain in the Jin Kingdom for several months, and it has become difficult for the people to drink water." A county official vetoed the mention with great coolness.
What they said was not unreasonable, and Yuan Ling pondered.
"What's so difficult about alleviating the drought, niece Hugh should be impatient."
All the magistrates looked at the man who spoke. A woman in green clothes who was about ten years old strode over, full of grace, talking and laughing, and she was a rare and graceful beauty.
She walked up to the crowd and crossed her arms.
Yuan Lingjun raised his eyebrows: "Auntie has a good prescription?" ”
Gongsun Zixi nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Before I came, I saw Qu Wangjun and said that he would send someone to send you a good solution to the drought, since he was one step ahead of me, he must have arrived at the official office." ”
Qu Yi went to Fangzhou County to supervise farming, where the drought is not as severe as here, but it is still tricky to solve, but as long as there is the right way, why worry about the drought.
"Why didn't my aunt say it earlier, it almost ruined my big thing. - 90,000, set off to return to the official office. Yuan Lingjun slapped his thigh, jumped up violently, and ran towards the carriage under the shade of the tree. Several county officials also followed in a panic, leaving behind Gongsun Zixi and the county guard who was at a loss.
"Just leave me alone? It's too disrespectful to the elders. Gongsun Zixi muttered silently, his face hurt.
"Three-foot cuiyi female grandson, your Excellency is not the general of Gongsun." The county guard still has some knowledge.
I heard her call the lord as her niece, and she was wearing a dark emerald robe, although she did not wear a three-foot sword, it was enough to guess the identity of this person, that is the ten mothers of Gongsun Mansion, Gongsun Zixi, she had traveled thousands of miles to Rongji, for her father and brother to garrison the north to return to Wu, and after the death of the princess of Yongguo, the court had no generals to come out of the embarrassing situation, resolutely ordered to go north to reinforce the army of the Northern Expedition, and became famous in a war, known as the "three-foot cuiyi female grandson", the enemy talked about all the color change, it was really a woman who did not let the eyebrows, so that the clan children of the freshly dressed and angry horses in the country were ashamed.
"Your Excellency has good eyesight, and it is Gongsun Zixi." Gongsun Zixi returned the salute.
The reverence of the county guard arose spontaneously, and after worshipping again, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a long voice: "General, the battle of Beisai can be described as dangerous, and it is very tragic!" ”
Gongsun Zixi hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes sank, and he raised his eyes to look at the barren four fields. No one has collected the bones, and there has been no tragic war in the territory since ancient times.
