Qing Shu didn't move, but there was a look of surprise on his face.

The ancient housekeeper has always been courteous, "I've seen the young man." ”

Zhou Boyan hurriedly said a few words to the ancient housekeeper, and immediately looked at Qingshu, "There have been many emergencies recently, and I haven't been able to come back to see Qingyang, Qingyang is afraid that he will be angry." I'm about to go to the border pass, and I don't know when I'll be able to return, so I want to take a look at Qingyang before leaving. No, the school hasn't finished yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him in time. Later, you explain a thing or two to him for me. He wanted to see Qingyang at a glance if it was true, and he didn't lie. However, he also wanted to take a look at Qing Shu before leaving. This has a concern, and I can no longer walk freely as before.

Qing Shu, who was sitting steadily, stood up and asked urgently, "Don't you even have time to wait for him to get out of school?" She thought to herself: I see, no wonder he would look like a dusty servant, and he didn't even wait to report it, and went straight to her study.

Zhou Boyan looked at her greedily, "There is no time." I'm just saying hello to you, and I'm leaving. With that, he turned around reluctantly and strode out.

Qing Shu didn't care about anything else, and quickly followed, "I'll send you." Then he said to the ancient housekeeper who came out, "Go to the school and take a leave of absence from Mr. Lu for the young master." Her idea was simple, he had come in the dust to see their brother and sister, how could she sit idly by and let him go away like this.

The ancient housekeeper agreed, knowing that the time was urgent, so he ran to the school and invited Qingyang in person.

Zhou Boyan originally took a big step out. But Qingshu said that he wanted to send him, and he wanted to delay Qingyang's schoolwork for him. He will refuse. However, seeing her trotting and trying to follow his pace, he slowed down, "Interrupt Mr. Lu's class, and Qingyang will be punished later." ”

Qing Shu tried to keep up with him as he said, "I believe that Qingyang must be willing to be punished." ”

Zhou Boyan wanted to stop and talk to her well, and didn't want her to work so hard with her. However, his time was so short that he had sacrificed two nights of sleep to get over like this. He thought that it would be good to see each other before he left, and that nothing else could be desired. So he advised her, "Go back!" Don't tire yourself out. ”

Qing Shu ignored it and followed him, "You came on horseback?" Or by car? ”

"Horseback riding."

"How long have you not slept?" She could see clearly, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had stayed up too late.

"I didn't sleep last night." He had been riding his horse at night, and he could not sleep.

"Did you eat properly?"

"Hmm." It's absolutely perfunctory.

Qing Shu hurriedly said to Xiao Juan, who was following behind, "Hurry up, use the run, wrap up all the snacks in my house, and the jerky." Move fast. ”

Xiaojuan understood that this was going to be given to Yan Gongzi, so she turned around and ran, not even bothering to say yes.

Knowing that she had him in her heart, Zhou Boyan was happy. He wanted to hold her hand, but thinking that there were people here from time to time, he held back, "Don't bother." ”

Qing Shu didn't care, continued to follow him, and seeing that the door of the mansion was about to arrive, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve, "Wait a minute, just a while." ”

Zhou Boyan sighed and stopped, "Ah Shu......"

"When I see Xiaoyang and leave, he will be there immediately." Qing Shu was very persistent, grabbing his sleeve and not letting go.

"Ashu, it's really too late."

Qing Shu didn't care, with a persistent face.

Gu Shizheng, who was waiting outside the gate of the mansion, came in to look, and saw Gu Qingshu standing in front of their son-in-law at a glance. He immediately thought of something, shrank his head back, and asked the chief of the guard standing beside him, "Let Childe sleep for half an hour, and then set off, can you catch up before dark?" ”

The head of the guard, Hongwu, said casually, "If you don't stop in the middle, you can gallop all the way and catch up." ”

Gu Shishi struck the palm of his left hand with his right fist, "Cheng, then let Gongzi sleep for half an hour." ”

The captain looked at him suspiciously, "Can you convince Childe?" ”

Gu Shishi was proud, "I have my own way." With that, he walked into the gate of the ancient mansion, and then walked to Zhou Boyan and Qing Shu, first saluted Qing Shu, and then said to his son, "Childe, the chief of the guard said, you can sleep here for half an hour, and then set off, you will definitely be able to catch up with the large army before dark." ”

Zhou Boyan immediately frowned, "What kind of bastard are you talking about?" Where is there still time to sleep, get out and wait. ”

Gu Shishi was obedient, and he didn't reason with his son-in-law, but complained to Qingshu, "Miss Gu, you don't know, the son-in-law hasn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights. Seeing that his son-in-law was about to kick someone, he hid behind Qing Shu, "It's the same if you can't rest, it's the same if you don't have a good appetite and don't eat." If this continues, how can the body eat. ”

Qing Shu frowned when he heard this, and at this time, the carriage that he lent to Dr. Zhou yesterday was being returned. When she saw it, an idea flashed through her mind, "I'll let Qingyang give you a ride in a carriage, half an hour, just half an hour, you can take a nap in the carriage, you can always relieve some fatigue." After that, it's not too late for you to ride a horse. In this way, he can not only take a nap, but also get on the road, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhou Boyan didn't have time to scold Gu Shi's troubles, "Ah Shu, don't be like this." "He can't just think about himself, the guards follow him around, just as tired. If he sleeps and is delayed for half an hour, everyone will have to work harder when he catches up with the large army in the future, and everyone will be unable to bear it.

At this time, Qingyang called out to his brother and was running in a hurry.

Qing Shu saw it and let go of Zhou Boyan's sleeve, "Xiaoyang, run quickly." When Qingyang ran closer, she instructed for a while, "My brother has something important to do, so I can't delay." My sister arranged a carriage, and you used the carriage to give your brother a ride. Remember, you have to stare at your brother for half an hour, you know? ”

Qingyang looked up at Zhou Boyan and replied, "Remember." ”

"I must let my brother sleep for half an hour, and then you will come back." Qing Shu instructed again.

Qingyang said that he knew.

Qing Shu asked Luo San and two eagle guards to follow and protect Qingyang's safety.

The ancient butler was more thoughtful than Qing Shu thought, and Jian Yiyi said that it was better to send two more carriages, so that Zhou Boyan's guards could rest for half an hour.

Zhou Boyan smiled helplessly, and had to let Qing Shu be busy with the arrangement for a while. Then, he was pulled by Qingyang and sat in the carriage.

Qingshu took the burden in Xiaojuan's hand and put it in the carriage, "This is dried meat and snacks, eat them on the road." After that, without waiting for Zhou Boyan to speak, he personally closed the car door and ordered to set off.

Three carriages set off, and the horses of Zhou Boyan and the brocade guards were separated and tied to the left and right or behind the three carriages. At the head of the carriage was Luo San, who was riding a horse to open the road. At the end of the carriage were two eagle guards on horseback.

After sending people away, Qing Shu had no intention of doing anything, returned to his house, sat and waited for news, and thought: He is going to the border pass, hoping that Yiqiē will be okay and can return safely.

An hour later, Qingyang, who had given him away, came back, and ran to see Qingshu as soon as he came back.

Hearing the movement, Qing Shu greeted him, "Xiaoyang, you're back." ”

Qingyang followed her sister into the house, and then reported, "Sister, my brother was disobedient at first, always talking to Xiaoyang, and refused to sleep. Xiaoyang pretended to be angry and said that he was going to come back to complain to his sister, but his brother became obedient and slept for half an hour. ”

"Xiaoyang is doing a great job. Hungry, right? The kitchen left hot meals and hot dishes, which was brought over. ”

Qingyang said yes, and then talked about it again, "Sister, brother said that he ordered four truckloads of fruit tree saplings from a friend. In another month and a half, someone will bring those four cartloads of fruit saplings. ”

Qing Shu was pleasantly surprised, "Really? What kind of fruit saplings are ordered? ”

"My brother said, there are apple trees, there are pear trees, there are apricot trees, there are peach trees, and there is a persimmon tree. Sister, what does a persimmon tree look like? Is the fruit tasting? ”

Qingshu was happy in her heart, "My sister doesn't know what the persimmon tree looks like, but I've just seen the name in the book." ”

Qingyang said that he wanted to ask Mr. Lu, and got up to leave. Qing Shu stopped him and asked him to ask after eating, not in a hurry at this moment.

A few days later, the ancient butler who had been sent to the wasteland to understand the situation came back with a happy face.

"Butler, is it still smooth on the wasteland? What makes you happy to be like this? Qing Shu asked while standing in the front yard.

The ancient housekeeper said that there was a qiēshun lì, and then reported it one by one.

Steward Zhang has rented a farmhouse in Sunjia Village. Because the rented yard is the courtyard of the village, so the place is large, and three cars and horses can be parked in the courtyard, not to mention, Lizheng also promised to build a straw shed in the courtyard to feed the livestock within three days. Speaking of houses, there are three halls in the courtyard, three east wings, two west wings, one kitchen, and thatched huts for firewood and grass. The rent is said to be paid monthly, and the money will be paid once a month. At the same time, it was also said that the firewood and grass used were out of the family, and there was no additional money.

On Master Liu's side, forty thatched huts will be completed tomorrow. Master Liu didn't cut corners, and the tarpaulin was also good, and it wouldn't leak so easily in the rainy season.

Besides, the beggars who work have eaten a lot of food for a few days, and they are in good spirits. Coupled with the fact that everyone was bathed, everyone drank boiled herbs, and coarse cloth clothes and new shoes and socks were distributed to them, they were all different.

What makes the ancient steward the happiest is not the above things, but about the burning of wasteland. Qingshu has been worried about how to burn the wasteland so as not to hurt the acres of jujube trees mixed with the withered grass, but he has not come up with a good solution to solve it.

However, the 100 beggars led by Steward Zhang found a good way on their own, and nearly one-third of the burning was completed. Specifically, they would go into the wasteland, find a bush or a stump, and then dig it out by the roots and bring it back to the thatched hut and pile it up, saying that when it was dried in the sun, it would be used as firewood. At the same time, when looking for shrubs or stumps, if they find a small sapling, whether it is a fruit sapling or not, they will cut down all the dead grass that is nearly ten meters or so around the sapling. The jujube saplings that Qing Shu marked when he took people there last time, they also turned in circles to expand the scope and cut down the dead grass.
