Chapter 86 Chang Tianlei, Chang Shi and a bumper harvest

The next day, Chang's mother came to the town to meet her nominal husband, who was actually General Chang's former bodyguard. They were staying in the town's inn. "The old slave greets the tenth master." Chang Shi is not a slave, he was originally an orphan who was rescued by General Chang, cultivated by the general, and has been following General Chang, serving as a personal guard when marching and fighting, until he retired at the age of forty and became the steward of the general's mansion. When something happened to the General's Mansion, he disappeared. After Chang's mother came out of the palace, she also inquired about him, but found nothing.

But when she was looking for Chang Tianlei, she suddenly appeared in front of her and told her that there were other people who were also looking for Chang Tianlei, who seemed to have bad intentions and had already targeted her, Chang Shi asked Chang's mother to stop worrying about this matter, and Chang Tianlei was found by him, in order to confuse the enemy, Chang's mother had the experience she told Lin Zhu at the beginning. And now there are no more ill-intentioned people around Chang's mother.

So after Chang Shi found Chang Tianlei, he contacted Chang's mother, so there was a scene where Chang's mother asked Lin Zhu for help.

"Mother Chang, don't be polite, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have brought the little master back so smoothly, the silver ticket you gave was very timely." In order to find General Ordinary and Chang Tianlei, Chang Shi had spent all the money in his hand, and finally had eyebrows, but he was suffering from no money and could not bring Chang Tianlei back, but fortunately, Chang's mother gave him a hundred taels of silver tickets in time, which rescued Chang Tianlei. "Fortunately, the little young master is blessed with a great life, and finally came back safely, and Concubine Lan can rest assured." Mother Chang knew that the little master was safe, and she was very excited.

"Don't notify the palace for the time being, wait for the general to give instructions before making plans, the most important thing now is the safety of the little young master." Before the mastermind behind the framing of the general was uncovered. The news that Chang Tianlei is still alive cannot be revealed. After all, no one has confirmed whether the news from Kyosato is true or false. It can still confuse a lot of people.

"Yes, the slave knows the way." Chang's mother bowed her head and said yes. After speaking, he took out a silver ticket of three thousand taels, "Ten masters." This is the money given by the little bamboo girl, let me buy a house in Song County, and then use the remaining money to buy some land, where there are mountains and rivers is the best. ”

"The person who hired you is very relieved to you, and even such a large sum of money can be handed over to you with confidence, does she know your identity?" Chang Shi had to wonder if there was any other purpose. "Master Bing, the girl still doesn't know what to say, and the slave didn't tell her, but she guessed that what I said before was not the truth. It's just that. "Chang's mother was a little hesitant." Just what? Chang Shi frowned and asked. It's just that the imperial doctor Zhang Yitang and Lord Zhang recognized the slave maid. Chang's mother replied cautiously.

"Is that him? Where did he recognize you, did he say anything? Chang Shi then asked. Mr. Zhang had known my current employer, Miss Lin Zhu, for a long time in Linjia Village, and met her there, but he didn't reveal my identity, he just said not to implicate Miss Lin Zhu. He had already returned to the capital a month ago. ”

"I see." Chang Shi nodded, "It's only like this now, let's settle down here first, and then we'll see after a while, now there are people in the capital who have questioned that the general's case is framed." Even if the case can't be overturned, let's take care of the little master here and wait for the opportunity. ”

"It's just that the identity of the slave and the maid and Miss Lin Zhu has wronged you and the young master." Chang's mother said that she was her husband in front of Lin Zhu. The little young master is a son, and the matter is detailed to Chang Shi. After speaking, he looked at him with some apprehension.

"That's fine," Chang Shi thought for a while, "It's safer to have such an identity as a disguise, and the little young master can also be safer." I'll explain it to him. Ask him to be patient. ”

"Xie Lu, thank you for the grace of the tenth master." Chang's mother saluted, "The slave wants to meet the little master." Don't know where to go? "The little master has been too tired for several days, and now he is asleep. It's a long time coming, so let's see you in a few days. "What Chang Shi didn't say was that Chang Tianlei was not only tired, but also suffered a lot of injuries during the time he ran away, and he was treating him, so it was inconvenient for Chang's mother to see him." In this case, the slave has been out for a long time, and she must go back first. Chang's mother got up and said goodbye.

"Okay, you go back, tomorrow the little master and I will go to Song County, and I will notify you after we buy the house, and then we will see these Lin Zhu girls again." Chang Shi is now very curious about what kind of person this girl Chang's mother is talking about.

"Little master, please open the door, it's my constant ten." After Chang's mother left, Chang Shi knocked on Chang Tianlei's door. "Uncle Ten, is Mother Chang gone?" A young man with a bruised nose and swollen face who had been beaten sat on a chair, one eye was swollen and only a slit was exposed, and his arms and legs were wrapped in cloth, and blood was oozing in some places. "Yes, it's gone, she's very worried about you." Chang Shi nodded. "She has already arranged our identity and a place to live, and will leave for Song County tomorrow, buy a house there, and wait for her to come. It's not too late to see her again. ”

"Did my aunt give Chang's mother so much money? Can't you go back to the capital now to avenge your grandfather and grandmother and your parents? Chang Tianlei slammed the table hard. Chang's mother's money is given by her current employer, and this money is used to buy a house and land, and it is also a place where we can live in peace for a while. "Chang Shi explained the identity made up by Chang's mother and Chang Tianlei." I have wronged the little master. ”

"What kind of grievance is this, the Chang family has fallen, and Uncle Ten, you and Chang's mother are running around for me, Tianlei is too late to be grateful, how can I talk about any grievances, I just hate that I can't find out the person behind the scenes, cut it with thousands of knives, and break the corpse into thousands of pieces to avenge my family." Chang Tianlei was very emotional when he said this, and kept banging on the table with his injured arm, and the white cloth on his arm was slightly oozing blood. Chang Shi hurried to stop his self-harm. He re-drugged his arm and wrapped it up.

"Little young master, please bear with me first, the revenge of the General's Mansion will be avenged sooner or later." Chang Shi suppressed the hatred in his heart, cleaned up Chang Tianlei's injuries, and helped him to go to bed to rest.

After that, go out the door. Suddenly saw that there was a basket left by Chang's mother on the table outside, and when he opened it, there were some eggs and vegetables inside, and he smiled a little dumbly, with a silver ticket of three thousand taels, could he still have less to eat. But since he was kind enough to bring it, he couldn't live up to it, so he took the dishes and sent them to the kitchen of the inn. Let the cook make it and go to their room.

"Yo, I'm changing the chef today. What are you doing, so fragrant. The innkeeper suddenly smelled the smell of food coming from the kitchen. It was something I had never smelled before, and I couldn't help but shrug my nose and want to go to the kitchen to have a look. "The shopkeeper, whether the cook has not changed or Lao Wang, Xu is his craftsmanship has risen greatly, and the fragrance has been coming from the kitchen just now." The young man next to him replied as he smelled the scent and drooled.

"Boy, wipe your saliva dry, I'm an inn, what do you look like. Let the guests see it, and they can't all be scared away. The shopkeeper knocked the man on the head and reprimanded.

"Shopkeeper, is my dish ready?" Chang Shi went back to the house to look at Chang Tianlei, heard him say that he was hungry, and came to the kitchen door to ask if the food was ready, he also smelled the aroma of the food, and said that the cooking skills of this inn are really good.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask." Chang Shi has a very fierce momentum on his body. It was the murderous aura that he had accumulated since he was by General Chang's side when he was young and when he went on the field to kill the enemy, and ordinary people would be afraid when they saw it. Even the fiercest dog in the General's Mansion was honest in front of him, and he was so frightened that he cowered aside and didn't even dare to make a sound. So the shopkeeper saw him. I'm more scared than going to a brothel and letting my wife catch me, and I will talk to him cautiously unconsciously.

"Lao Wang, is the guest officer's dish ready just now?" The shopkeeper went to the kitchen to take a look. The board is full of ordinary vegetables, and I don't know how it tastes so fragrant. If you think of chopsticks, you want to try them. was stopped by Lao Wang, "Shopkeeper." This is the ingredient that the guest officer brought himself, and it is not good for people to find out. "The cook's surname is Wang, and he has been working with this shopkeeper for many years, and he speaks a little casually." Oh, yes? Ha Luha, I just wanted to help you set the plate, and the dish was all scattered aside. Hehe, now it's okay, send it over. The shopkeeper laughed dryly.

Chang Shi asked the guy to deliver the meal to the table outside the house, and after sending the guy away, he called Chang Tianlei out, "Little master, come and eat." ”

After Chang Tianlei came out, he smelled the aroma of the food and asked curiously, "Has this inn changed its cook?" Today's meal is so delicious. "Hehe, it shouldn't have changed, I saw just now that it's still the kitchen of the fat man." Chang Shi knew that the little young master's mouth was very picky, and after suffering for a while, he had changed a lot, but not only Chang Tianlei, but even Chang Shi himself was not satisfied with Wang Fatzi's cooking skills.

"This dish is ruined by the cook." Chang Tianlei ate a mouthful of food, although Wang Fatzi's craftsmanship is not good, but the original taste of the ingredients is very good, but it has not been ruined by his cooking skills, it is still delicious, but Chang Tianlei regrets this dish. Chang Shi also tasted it, "This dish is good, but Wang Fatzi's craftsmanship is still like that." Suddenly, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I see." ”

"Uncle Ten, what's wrong?" Chang Tianlei's family has always been grateful to Chang Shi for taking care of General Chang on the battlefield, so they don't treat him as a person, Chang Tianlei has always called him Uncle Ten according to General Chang's instructions, and it is even more common to eat at the same table.

"This dish was sent by Chang's mother, and so did the eggs. It must have been taken from her current master's house. I heard that she was an orphan girl from a small mountain village. I didn't expect her to have such delicious dishes there. Chang Shi glanced at Chang Tianlei, and then said, "Our future employer of Jingshui has some skills. ”

Chang Tianlei knows that this tenth uncle is not the kind of person who often praises people, "Tenth uncle, do you have any ideas?" "Not yet, let's wait until we see someone." After speaking, he and Chang Tianlei continued to finish the meal, and the dishes that were eaten directly were clean, "It's so full!" The two said at the same time, looked at each other again, and smiled easily. It was the best meal they'd had in days.

Chang's mother returned to Lin Zhu's house and saluted Lin Zhu, "Thank you, girl, I have seen them today." "Mother Chang, you're welcome, now you are also a matter of concern." As an ancient person with a modern soul, Lin Zhu was really not used to someone saluting her, and she was much older than her. Hurry up and let Chang's mother sit down. "Mother Chang, you coax Fu Dou'er, I've been losing my temper today, and I'm always crying." Fu Dou'er didn't have a good day today, she always cried, and Lin Zhu didn't know what the problem was.

Chang's mother picked up Fu Dou'er and looked at it, and untied his clothes again, and found that one of the straps of the jacket was tightened, which made his arm uncomfortable, so he kept crying. Chang's mother tied the strap again, and he stopped crying immediately. Lin Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief, she was very afraid that Fu Dou'er would get sick, and she had no experience in taking care of children, and she didn't know what the problem was, "Ouch, I'm sorry." Xiaofu Dou'er, blame my sister for being careless. I'm going to hurt you. Ouch, come and kiss my sister. What a one. Lin Zhu picked up Fu Dou'er, who had re-dressed, and kissed her face. Fu Dou'er pushed her out as if she was angry with her. Ahhhh

After putting the tired crying Fu Douer to sleep, Lin Zhu and Chang's mother went outside to talk while looking at the orchid Xia Hemei who had resettled and grew very well. "I used to hear that orchids bloom for a long time, but I didn't expect that they were still blooming for almost a month." "The orchids I've seen before haven't bloomed for so long, and they will be thanked in eleven or twelve days at most. It seems that this orchid is extraordinary. Chang's mother also admired. Because of these orchids at home, there is a faint fragrance from time to time, and Lin Zhu feels that his body seems to be contaminated with the fragrance of orchids. "Mother Chang, I think my clothes have the fragrance of this orchid."

"If the girl likes it. I'll make some orchid sachets and bring them to you, so that you can smell the scent of orchids from time to time, and you can use them in winter. Chang's mother said with a smile.

"No need, what do I do with a little girl in the countryside making such a fragrance, it will make the villagers say that I am hypocritical." Lin Zhu remembered that famous sentence, and couldn't help but shake her head, she didn't want to be scolded as a slut.

Chang's mother smiled when she heard this, and then stopped mentioning it.

The days go by quickly. It's about to be the autumn harvest season again, and the rice growth of Linzhu is very good, much better than the surrounding people, and the rice ears are heavy. The grains are plump. Before, people often watched from the edge of her field, and Lin Zhu's land was the village chief's house on one side and Lin Changsheng's family on the other. Compared with the three families, Lin Zhu's is better than the village chief's family. The village chief's family is better than Lin Changsheng's, but it is limited. Not as prominent as the forest bamboo's.

Lin Zhu also went to the field to see, I didn't expect the rice seeds produced by the space to be so domineering, if the yield per mu exceeded others too much, then she was in the limelight in Linjia Village again, and the watermelon craze had just receded, and she became the talk of the village again.

"Xiaozhu, I really didn't expect that you would have such a great effect on the field before planting, it seems that next year, my family's land will have to be as deep as you." Lin Changqing, the village head, attributed the reason for the good growth of Lin Zhu's rice to the previous deep cultivation. With his explanation, it also saves Lin Zhu a lot of brain cells to think about the reason.

This year, Wang Shudun and his son were asked to help with the harvest, but the people in the village were curious about how her rice grows, not to mention that it grows so well than others, so they came over to help, by the way, to see if they can learn from it. This grain is the lifeblood of the people in the village, and who doesn't want to beat more.

Lin Changqing's words were also taken to everyone's heart. I'm thinking about trying it next year.

So in just one day's work, Lin Zhu's land was harvested, and in order to thank the villagers for their help, Lin Zhu specially prepared a table of sumptuous meals for everyone to eat.

Although they all said that they didn't need Lin Zhu to break the bank, she still gave everyone thirty yuan, which was a gesture of gratitude. Everyone was happy to accept it.

After more than ten days of drying, Lin Zhu's rice can be threshed, in order not to cause the surprise of the villagers, Lin Zhu asked the Wang family to complete it in his own yard. After threshing, after weighing, the result was that the yield per mu of forest bamboo was 800 catties, which was about 300 catties more than the yield per mu of other people's homes. This number stunned the Wang family, and they looked at Lin Zhu as if they had seen a god. "Little bamboo girl, this is incredible, there is so much yield per mu, this must be left as next year's rice seeds, not sold." Wang Shudun was happy to see the hunt, he was a person who dealt with the fields all the year round, and he naturally did not want to miss it when he had good grains.

"Okay, leave some for seeding. I'll use this next year. Lin Zhu also thinks that this idea is very good, and the rice that is left can also be cultivated in the space for nourishment again, and a part of it can be left to be planted directly as an experiment. In the past, I wondered if the second-generation seeds of the Lu Dao would have the same quality as the special varieties produced from the space. This time, Lin Zhu's rice caused a sensation, and the villagers will definitely come to her to ask for planting, and then their two acres of land will have to be the same as them. so that there will be no problems.

Sure enough, just like Lin Zhu thought, as soon as she finished threshing the rice, the villagers asked the village chief Lin Changqing to come to her house as a representative to discuss the purchase of grain seeds with her. "Xiaozhu, you are famous again this time, no, many people in the village have asked me to come to you and ask if I can buy some rice from you as grain seeds." Lin Changqing said with a smile, Lin Zhu's rice grows so well, he is also happy for her, and thinks that Lin Zhu's Zhuangzi can also produce 800 catties per mu like these two acres of land, what kind of concept is that, Lin Changqing didn't dare to think about it. A bumper harvest, no matter how good the year is, there has never been a miracle.

"It's okay to buy it back, but can I use this rice as a grain seed?" Lin Zhu didn't wait for the next year when the fields of the villagers were not as good as hers, and then came back to complain about her. "Of course, you have to talk to them about this, and don't come back and complain if you don't grow up like this. Don't worry, I'll tell them. Lin Changqing assured her. Will you also use this rice seed in your Zhuangzi next year? ”

"That one is another story, I have other ideas." Lin Zhu didn't want to show his hole cards first. (To be continued......)
