"Rabbit cub, why did you take things from home again, didn't you just say that you just need to study hard in the Zhuangzi? You didn't steal from your husband's house, did you? Let me know you're stealing, and I'll beat you to death. ”

"Don't talk about the child like that, maybe it's from the husband's family?"

Wu Pan's pouting Lao Gao said unhappily: "Shen Kuo, you know!" It's the one that came from behind, skinny, low-pitched, Mr. asked me and him to put some cows, saying that it was a cow that milked cows, not pulling the plow, Shen Kuo wouldn't let it go, I put the cow alone to be full, and then Mr. rewarded me with two big chicken legs, I can't finish eating and bring it back to you, Dad, mother, you eat. ”

The husband and wife are farmers on the edge of the Lujia Zhuangzi, and they are really poor and go to Zhuangzi to do short-term work, earn some money, the man's mind is lively, and his daughter-in-law set up a small stall to sell food, two days can make consistent money, but they are very happy, Zhuangzi accepts students, they don't think about it and send it, at that time, many people still don't believe that there is such a good thing, and then people don't want it.

"The head of the house, you said how much blessing our family has accumulated in the last life to meet such a good family, we don't understand the knowledge, but the son was raised for nothing and chubby, this kid is now back and said that the food I cook is not delicious, not as good as their fat cook, but look at this chicken leg, I really don't have a good job, didn't Zhuangzi say two days ago that he wanted to collect eggs and hatch chicks? You go and send those dozens of eggs at home, don't ask for other people's money, I'm embarrassed. ”

"Okay, I don't want money, what if they don't want our eggs? Last time, the family gave more money for a piece of meat than the one on the market, and I was embarrassed to send it again, as if we were going to take advantage of it. ”

"Do you want to send your son back when he goes back? So I don't think they will refuse! ”

"I'm afraid he'll take it all on the road, this reading feels very serious, but it's more skinny than before, have you noticed it, daughter-in-law."

"That's what Mr. taught me, I don't care, you see that my son is better than you last time, what Mr. said is right, I can't listen to Mr. Wrong, Pan'er, do you have any clothes to wash, my mother will help you wash them."

Wu Pan finished a math problem, bit his finger and said: "No need mother, you can play the board after washing the husband, you don't have to care, you and my father are busy!" I still have to do my homework, and when I'm done, I'll make an appointment with Shen Kuo to go to Luoyang tomorrow. ”

Wu Pan said: "How can you two children go to play, are there any adults?" ”

"Yes, let's go with his cousin, and what about the carriage of the gentleman's family? It's the one you and my dad envy, we'll be back after a day of playing, do you want to bring something, mother. ”

"That's good, be well-behaved when you go to someone's house, don't be naughty, does your husband still send you money now?"

Wu Pan said: "Yes! The previous few times we bought delicious food, but this time it hasn't been spent yet? ”

"Master, you go and send it! It's a little bit of our mind, eat other people's people, live in other people's houses, wear other people's people, and give them money to spend, we can't forget our roots, didn't I accept two pairs of shoes with mille-feuille soles, you also bring them. ”

Lu Zifei is leading the whole family to go to the ground today, Shao Yong and Huanniang are here, the spring ploughing time is up, the students who go home are not counted, and those who don't go home are all on the battlefield, driving cattle, scattering seeds, watering, dozens of people planting a few acres of land, people who know say that they are farming, and those who don't know think that they are going on a spring outing?

There are only a few old ones at home who don't do anything, smiling and sucking the teacup one by one, and shouting when they see who is tired, come and drink some water, don't be tired, Lu Zifei rolled his eyes when he listened.

"Sir, why don't you let those girls go back first! They're just going to make trouble, and that's enough for us, we're used to it at home, haven't you ever worked! Hands lather at night. ”

Lu Zifei said to a few students around him: "Your husband, I didn't think about how much money I could earn from the field, why did I leave you old, because I told those little ones that they don't understand, you can't be a person who doesn't divide grains in the future, the land is the root of the farming nation, the rich people are in the minority, most of the people still need to dig in the soil, if you want the country to be rich, then you must first make these farmers rich, hiding the wealth from the people is this meaning, in a few years you will be divided into disciplines, learning to farm is also a great knowledge." ”

Li Shishi followed to make a show, and then left with her little soldiers, hugging Huanniang and saying that she was going to make clothes for her younger brothers and sisters who were not born, and the excuse was good, and their departure increased the efficiency of farming several times.

Ouyang Xiu stood on the ridge and looked at Lu Zifei and said, "I thought you forgot about spring ploughing?" The emperor has to go down to the land in person today, and he is doing well today, haven't you rented a lot of land? Why don't you see any movement? ”

Lu Zifei said angrily: "I kept those fields to grow sweet potatoes, and it's still a little early." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "The Liao people are a little impatient, they have been coming to me for the past two days, and it is almost time to dry for a few days." More than enough is too much. ”

Lu Zifei dropped the hoe and said, "Arrange it the day after tomorrow!" Tell them that this is the only chance to negotiate, I have full authority to negotiate with them, let them make the final conditions, otherwise there will be no chance, the Northwest Army has been formed for five months, pull out for training, see blood, new soldiers become veterans, I think it is a good choice. ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "Isn't the attitude a little tough? You have to be sure. ”

Lu Zifei pulled the ox, put on the cage mouth, set up the plow, and said: "I naturally have my reasons for doing this, I won't miss your big business, if it's okay, you can continue to go to your yamen to busy yours, don't disturb us farming." ”

Ouyang Xiu took the carriage and walked away gracefully, Lu Zifei and the students finished planting the task of spring ploughing, and finished the father of Wu Pan who had just met to deliver eggs, he saw Lu Zifei and said: "The old hen at home is not worth much, and it is sent to the children to replenish their bodies." "The egg is stuffed in Lu Zifei's hand, and the person turns around and leaves, you can't give me money if you don't leave time to speak!

Lu Zifei still stopped him, and asked the student to hug a big pumpkin and said: "There are too many things to eat, you can take it back as a favor for us, now no one in Zhuangzi can see this, it's still good to boil porridge and add some more." ”

Wu Pan's father said: "I really don't dare to send things in the future when the owner does this, people will poke me in the back." ”

Lu Zifei said: "I really didn't lie to you this time, we are ready to break it and take out the seeds inside if we can't finish eating, you go back and eat it and keep the seeds, this thing is easy to plant, you plant all the land at home here." ”

Wu Pan's father said: "Pumpkins have been planted by someone before, but they are not as big as those planted in our Zhuangzi, can I sell all the acres of land in my family?" "You have to grow grain in the field, sorghum, millet, wheat, you have to pay taxes after the autumn harvest, and you can't grow anything else if you plant pumpkins, to be honest, he is still interested in doubts.

Lu Zifei said with a smile: "A few acres of land are all planted with pumpkins, I think the people in Luoyang City have enough to eat for a long time, I asked you to plant pumpkins and sell pumpkin seeds, but I didn't let you sell pumpkins, and you didn't lose money selling pumpkins." ”

"Pumpkin seeds? What are you going to do here, owner! Can that be sold for money? ”

Lu Zifei said: "What are you afraid of, how many Zhuangzi you will plant at that time and harvest as much as you want, as long as the seeds don't want meat, you can also tell the nearby villagers, forget it, there don't seem to be so many seeds, boldly plant, you can see that what Zhuangzi says doesn't count." ”

I was relieved to have your words, and went back happily with the big pumpkin, and now they all have experience, doing business with the people in the Zhuangzi, you will make money no matter what, because the people in the Zhuangzi will never treat them badly.

Lu Zifei also went home with eggs, and he had to prepare a little for the negotiation the day after tomorrow, which is the same as a lawsuit, the good preparation will be greater, and the most important thing is that the glass is burned, and he can burn anything in any form.

"Brother Xiwen has anything else to do when he returns to Beijing this time besides debriefing?" It was Cai Xiang who spoke.

Fan Zhongyan said: "My mother is old, I want to take her to the capital, you know my situation, it is not easy for my mother to pull me to grow up, this time I asked Chunyou to go back to pick up his grandmother, the grandson's words are a little more effective than the son's." ”

Cai Xiang laughed when he heard this, stroked his palm and said: "My old lady is the same, everything my son says is right, everything I say is wrong, when he is old, he is happy." ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "Why don't you see Mengyue's girl, I brought him a gift from the northwest." ”

Cai Xiang didn't see his daughter today, and he came back with his friends after the next court, and he hasn't seen anyone yet? He asked the butler, "Have you seen Miss today, and you are crazy to go there again." ”

The housekeeper said, "I was there at dinner in the morning, and I saw Xiao Zi bring the food back to the room, it should be in the room!" ”

Cai Xiang said: "You go and find Yun'er, he must know." ”

Cai Yun was not far from the door, and the housekeeper carried him to the living room, Fan Zhongyan said: "He has grown so big, we don't always talk about it, come and give you a fun thing." ”

Cai Yun didn't recognize life, and walked over timidly when he heard the fun, Fan Zhongyan took out a wolf tooth pendant and brought it to him, and said: "There are many things in the northwest, but they are rare in the mainland, it is an object to ward off evil spirits, and a group of businessmen honor me." ”

"This doesn't look like yours! Brother Sivan. ”

Fan Zhongyan said uncomfortably: "I won't ask for as much as others give me, but he is different, I am not a person inside and outside now, wouldn't it be a loss if I don't take it, and the next time I see him, I must teach him a lesson." ”

Cai Xiang said: "I can't let it go!" ”

Fan Zhongyan said: "I also blame myself, you know that he has a caravan to feed the entire Shaanxi farming cattle, can you imagine?" This is still a traded item, not counting money, and the benefits of the border army and the yamen are countless. ”

"I'll let them out, let's have a good chat, Yun'er, do you know where your sister went?"

"My sister said she went to Luoyang to buy me something delicious."
