190. Fanwai two shepherds
The sky in Shunyang is still so high......
Lying on the soft haystack, Tang Xinhou suddenly became a little poetic......
"Wang!"
The fat claws with thick arms pressed against his chest, and he didn't have to exert any effort, just relying on his own weight was enough to make Tang Xinhou almost unable to lift it in one breath.
"The third?" The big golden dog's coat is still bright, but his eyes are no longer so energetic. He still remembers that even last year, the third child often ran to the grassland, and even ran out of Wuli City. And this year, it hasn't been there once.
The third child turned around twice on the haystack, lay beside Tang Xinhou, pressed a fat claw on Tang Xinhou's shoulder, and spewed out a heavy breath: "Hmph! β
Tang Xinhou raised his hand to rub his paws for it, and the paws covered by thick hair could not be seen, but there would be obvious protrusions when touched, and if you looked closely, the hair on it was not very uniform.
Last year, the third came back with a limp. This is not the first time that the third child has been injured, but it is undoubtedly the heaviest.
The third child, who is already ten years old, is now old and has learned to be coquettish.
He talked to the third child without a pair: "The third child, you can't do this, manly husband, what will the fourth child think of you?" β
The third child rolled his ears, turned his head and yawned.
Before Tang Xinhou could say something more, a laugh came from under the haystack, and when he looked down and saw that it was Zhou Dahu, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Okay, you big tiger, run here to hide lazy!" β
Zhou Dahu led a mule: "Why am I lazy?" I'm here to watch over the cattle at the inn. Then Fang Cai's topic said, "Brother Tang, don't just talk about the third child. The third child has a wife, and a lot of children and grandchildren. β
Today's Shunyang Horse Farm is no longer a place for grazing war horses. With the territorial expansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the establishment of Wuli City, a large number of grasslands became more suitable places for grazing war horses. Shunyang Horse Farm has gradually taken a back seat, and now the direction of cultivation is more inclined to the livestock used in the post station, and some cooperate with the veterinary station to cultivate meat and mutton cattle for consumption.
As the well-deserved boss of Shunyang Racecourse, Tang Xinhou now even holds the title of a thousand households, and he does not have many people to raise, plus some tertiary production, and the income is very rich. The tattoos on his face are no longer frightening.
Master Tang, who is clean and self-conscious, even if he is now thirty years old, still makes Shunyang and even the surrounding girls flock to him.
Master Tang, the winner in life, is now short of a daughter-in-law.
He didn't care about it, and when he heard the old brother making fun of him, he just laughed twice: "I dare to love me and I'm not as good as a dog!" He patted the third plush head, "Hello, the old brother doesn't dislike it...... Alas? Where are you going? β
Of course, the third child would not answer him, jumped lightly from the haystack, shook his hair, and ran away majestically.
Zhou Dahu was already lying on the ground laughing, his cheeks aching: "Hahaha, Brother Tang, you...... Haha, the third child also dislikes you! β
"Humph!" Tang Xinhou pursed his lips and said lazily, "Anyway, you are idle today, go to the kitchen and give me a bowl of noodles to eat." β
Zhou Dahu did not follow.
Zhou Dahu was beaten by Tang Xinhou and had to get from.
Since the day when several of them were recruited by Ruan Bai and became post guards, Tang Xinhou has been the first in every competition. In the earliest days, Zhou Dahu and Zhang Daniu were better than him once or twice in martial arts and archery. But as Tang Xinhou's body recuperated, they were completely thrown away. For a long time, in fact, their homework and martial arts have always been taught by Tang Xinhou on the side.
Tang Xinhou's origin, they are not unclear. almost ruined the tattoo of the entire face, and everyone knew that it was a thief who committed a crime. He himself also confessed that he was once a small official in the Wei Palace, and he grew up in the horse farm in Zhaicheng since he was a child. On the surface, it seems that he can indeed explain the origin of what he has learned, but as Zhou Dahu has more and more knowledge, he finds that it doesn't make sense at all!
Zhou Dahu was kneading the dough while thinking wildly, and when he cut the dough into noodles and put it in the pot, he felt that his troubles just now were also scalded by a pot of hot water. He's just a mere nuisance. Who is Tang Xinhou, will Lord Ruan and Lord Chu know? Since they didn't say anything, where is his turn to worry about?
Besides, the old brothers have been getting along for so many years, what kind of character is it, do you still not understand?
Cut a knife of cooked beef and put it into the noodle soup, sprinkled a pinch of chopped green onions, Zhou Dahu opened his throat and shouted: "Brother Tang, the noodles are ready!" β
Faster than Tang Xinhou is the fourth.
The third child is also faster than Tang Xinhou.
Zhou Dahu held two bowls of noodles and swore to guard: "This is mine, not for you to eat." β
The fourth child took a step forward, stood up and put it on the stove, his height was not much different from Zhou Dahu, and he snorted to look at Zhou Dahu.
Zhou Dahu was forced to take a small step back: "No...... It's still hot! β
When Tang Xinhou came in, the third child's saliva was already dripping all over the noodle bowl. He couldn't help wiping his face, hugged the third and fourth children aside, fished the noodles out of the noodle soup, and put them on the dog table while blowing: "The noodles are too hot, let them cool before eating." β
So, the dog eats beef noodles with large pieces of meat. People eat dry pancakes.
Zhou Dahu drank cold and white, finally finished eating the pancakes, and said: "Da Niu said that he brought us something back from the capital, and I don't know what a big item it is, and I have to walk on the road for two days." "He actually didn't pay much attention to anything in the capital or Xijing. If it is something from the South China Sea, it is indeed a bit novel, but in Beijing, it is nothing more than a few time-honored brands with better workmanship, and nothing else.
"It's about cloth or something, right?" Tang Xinhou guessed, "The material we have here is indeed not as good as in the capital." "With the same thread and pattern, the weaver in the capital can weave better fabrics, and of course the price is one or two percent higher. The craftsmanship of the jewelers in the capital is good, even if it is an ordinary wooden hairpin, it can also carve an elegant and vulgar charm.
Tang Xinhou thought of the wooden hairpins in the small box in his bedroom, not even boxwood...... Ya is indecent, in fact, it is all piled up by money. He actually received a lot of gold, jade, and hairpins of various materials, but he always felt that he didn't make it himself, and it was always a little bit less interesting. However, I really can't handle my own craftsmanship......
Zhou Dahu saw that he was absent-minded, and he didn't understand this big brother who was not very old, but he looked like he was retiring for the elderly, wiped his mouth and said: "I heard last time that the sixth son was admitted to the Jinshi, and I don't know how it is now, it has been almost two years since I left, and I don't even have any news." β
"Hmm." Tang Xinhou slowed down for half a beat before saying, "Liuzi is not a military attachΓ©, he has a smart brain, and it is better to be a civil official." Lord Arida in the capital is taking care of it, and there is still a big cow here, so there is no need to worry. β
Zhou Dahu pouted: "Who is worried about that stinky boy?" What should be worried about is the people who are studying in the same department as him. What is not good for the sixth son to learn, there is not ten percent of Ruan's bad stomach to learn, but also seven or eight percent. β
Tang Xinhou thought in his heart, Lord Ruan's bad water is nothing, if it weren't for Lord Chu's escort all the way, the rhythm of playing every minute. In such a comparison, the six sons of their family are simply honest people. Besides, even if the sixth son wins the same subject reader, it is of no great use at all. As a civil official, the same department is a natural ally, even if the relationship is not close, but there can always be some friendship. Their enemies are those old fritters in the officialdom, and when the rookie enters the yamen, they don't know how to be bullied?
But fortunately, their six sons are not real rookies.
Seeing off Zhou Dahu, Tang Xinhou rode a horse and ran around, and came back and caught several fat people. The big fat man can graze, but the little fat man is simply adding to the chaos!
The plush fat ass has a count of the spanking. The little fat men were covered with thick hair, and they didn't feel pain at all, and they hugged their legs and wagged their tails after playing.
Tang Xinhou carried a black fat man back to the house, but there were many officers and soldiers at the door who looked like people were busy. For a moment, he thought he had gone back to the wrong room, until he saw the young man walking out of the door...... It's even more trance-like.
"Six sons?" He spoke softly, like a whisper.
Xu Liufei didn't hear it, said goodbye with a kind smile and helped the servant, and stretched out his hand to drag Tang Xinhou into the house: "I haven't seen you for so long, I don't know anyone?" β
Tang Xinhou still felt like he was dreaming, otherwise how could he see someone who had been separated for two years, and suddenly appeared in front of him, not counting, looking at this posture, he was still going to live in a room with him.
"It's a good old brother, Shunyang now has a county, and Lord Tang is a thousand households, so he doesn't have anything to say to me, the county order?" Now that more of the border troops have moved west to Wuli City, Shunyang will gradually become a city where the people live and work in peace and contentment, just like the former Xishan City.
Tang Xinhou seemed to have been suddenly woken up, and he was about to jump into the house.
Xu Liu didn't stop him, watched him enter the bedroom, and then stood at the door and said, "I've seen the box you put under the bed." β
"Bang!" Tang Xinhou raised his head suddenly, hit the bed board hard, and the whole person was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly walked over, and asked with a stern expression: "Which box did you see?" β
Xu Liu was not frightened at all: "I've seen both of them." β
Tang Xinhou's face suddenly twitched fiercely, and a face covered with scars became even more hideous: "You ......"
Xu Liu took two steps forward and asked, "What, I can't watch it?" β
ββ¦β¦ No. He took a step back, "You can see." "How did such a well-behaved child come back like this? The capital is really a pool of muddy water, so it's not a good place!
Xu Liu raised his eyebrows: "I haven't asked you yet, I hid so many hairpins for my own use?" β
"It's not."
"That's a giveaway?"
"Yes."
"For whom?"
"You." When the answer came out, Tang Xinhou breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps that had been retreating finally stopped, stretched out his hand and hesitated for a moment before he hugged the young man in front of him step by step into his arms, "What was given to you is all yours, only yours." β
There are two boxes under the bed, one large and one small. The small one is full of all kinds of fine products collected by Tang Xinhou from all over the country, all of which are exquisite in materials and exquisite craftsmanship. The big ones are all wooden hairpins, from the obvious potholes on the surface, to the more and more decent, the progress can be seen, but until now there is no ingenuity and skills, obviously not in two years can be made.
After two years of anger, when I saw the box full of wooden hairpins, it suddenly disappeared.
Xu Liu suddenly remembered that he wanted to perform the crown salute in his heart back then, but he was still a small post pawn at that time, and he didn't pay that attention at all. He buried it in his heart and didn't dare to mention it at all, but he didn't expect to be seen by Tang Xinhou, and he deliberately cut a wooden hairpin for him, and specially gave him a word. The craftsmanship of that hairpin is not as good as ordinary chopsticks......
Xu Liu pursed his lips and asked, "Two years ago, were you really drunk or did you pretend to be crazy with wine?" "I said that I would send him to the capital, and the brothers all drank high, but I didn't expect him to be with the most reassuring Tang Xinhou, but something happened.
Tang Xinhou's eyes widened: "You don't remember?" β
Xu Liu's face flushed: "It's not that I don't remember at all." It's just that all he remembers is the scorching heat of that night, and the madness of the two people, as for how they rolled together, wasn't Tang Xinhou taking the initiative?
Xu Liu looked at Tang Xinhou's eyes, opened his mouth, and asked with difficulty, "Yes...... Because I? "He's been thinking a little bit about this big brother who has taken good care of him, and it's been a few years.
Tang Xinhou felt that he had been wronged in the past two years! But: "Forget it, you're back anyway." Lord Ruan said that he would come next month, just in time for him to officiate at our wedding. β
"Next month? It's seventeen today! "Do you want to be in such a hurry?
"I've got everything ready. The new house has also been bought, and I will take you to see it tomorrow, if you are not satisfied, you will buy another ...... Oh, by the way, you have to live in the county government this time. I've prepared a little bit of what is in it according to your liking, you can take a look at ......"
Xu Liu was dizzy when he heard this: "...... You already knew I was coming back? "At this moment, there is a kind of deeply deceived hurry! I really want to tear the shepherd by hand!
Shepherd: I seem to get carried away!
Ruan Bai, who came to preside over the wedding: "Why is the atmosphere a little wrong?" Sixth son, Lao Tang specially asked me to let you serve in Shunyang! It's a newlywed reunion after a long absence, why aren't you happy at all? β
Xu Liu: Damn the shepherd, how many things did he do behind his back?!
Soup, Shepherd, Nobuhou: Candle night in the cave room, please don't sleep with the fat man!
