Chapter 8: The Iron Rooster

The sun began to set in the west, and the Dock Fort looked particularly vibrant in the sun.

Now there is not much work in the field, and there is not much work at home, so the girls have time to come out and play.

In the sun, their dark faces were shining, and they were smiling innocently.

"It's nice to be a girl." Lao Jia happened to break up with his girlfriend for more than a year when he crossed over, and the days of a single dog were very nourishing.

At this moment, he watched a few girls muttering under the tree, glanced at himself from time to time, and subconsciously smiled and beckoned.

If he did this in his previous life, the women would give him a blank look, and then disdainfully hold their heads high and step on high heels and walk away. If you encounter someone with a bad temper, you will scold a scumbag!

But the girls looked at him excitedly, and someone asked, "Will he kill us?" ”

"No, it's said that we're not afraid of three steps, but we're seven or eight steps away now!"

A girl was probably curious, and leaned over step by step.

Jia Ping'an was happy in his heart, thinking to himself, could it be that his brother's first ambiguity in Datang was about to happen?

"Ping An ......"

In the smoke and dust, Yang Deli rushed over with a bookcase.

The girl exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated.

Say!

Jia Ping'an got up stupidly, and saw that Yang Deli was sweating, but he was happy, so he asked, "Cousin, has something good happened?" ”

Yang Deli approached, first glanced at the girls, and after they left after a while, he said regretfully: "Ping, their butts are not big, they can't have children, such a little lady is not suitable for you!" ”

Big ass ...... Jia Ping'an thought about it hard, it seems that among Oriental women, there are not many unmarried buttocks.

The shopkeeper of the quality warehouse still wanted to cheat a certain half of the money, and he didn't want to think about it, a certain Yang Deli was a person who could eat a handful of rice for two days. Just by him, he also wants to make someone suffer? Later, he got a hammer and a chisel...... No, bring back half a penny. ”

Yang Deli took out the half penny and was very proud.

Jia Ping'an was speechless, feeling that this cousin was the rebirth of Grande, and the reincarnation of Huang Shiren, if he was made a landlord, those tenant farmers would not be able to live.

The key is that a handful of rice can be eaten for two days, which is more scary. The porridge that came out of it probably tasted like water.

"I also bought a chicken." There was a big rooster hanging from the back of the bookcase, clucking.

When the smoke rose and the big rooster was stewed, Yang Deli was in charge of lighting the fire on the edge of the stove, and while sorting out the firewood in the hearth, he said: "This chicken eats two legs today, and the rest is packed in a clay pot and placed in the well, and it will not spoil." Meat is eaten for three days, soup and rice are eaten for two days, so that a chicken can eat for five days......"

As a result, after a meal, the two brothers ate a big rooster cleanly, and Yang Deli felt guilty about it.

"Cousin, we are not short of this money now, we will buy what we should buy, and we will eat what we should eat." Although Jia Ping'an was not a rich man in later generations, he was not bad at eating and drinking.

Yang Deli looked at him and said seriously: "Ping'an, our family has been farming for generations, although tofu can make money, if it is pondered by others themselves, then how much can we earn?" If you don't save now, if you want to get married in the future, you will have to have three children. When the children grow up, they want to get married, they have to build a house, they have to eat and drink, and they have to spend a lot of money.

Although he has never read a book, he knows a truth, that is, the poor can't be proud when they have money, you have to see it! If you can earn money for three or five years, then you can spend a little money. Something else has to be saved. ”

Yang Deli glanced at the chicken bones that were gnawed cleanly, and his eyes were full of regret.

Jia Ping'an didn't think it was good, so he asked, "Don't you want to use the chicken bones you have eaten to make soup?" ”

He didn't think so, no matter how he said that Lao Jia's family was not short of money now, let alone chicken, it was not a matter for mutton to come every once in a while. If the scale of tofu production is expanded, it will be a proper small landlord's home.

Yang Deli said with a relieved face: "Do you think the same way about Ping'an?" That's exactly ......."

Jia Ping'an looked confused......

In the end, the chicken skeleton was not left, and Yang Deli felt distressed for a long time, and he could hear him sighing opposite him when he slept at night.

When Jia Ping'an was in a daze, he heard Yang Deli say: "Ping'an, when I went to the market, I heard about something, our public party in Huazhou lost money, and said that the money catcher borrowed money and couldn't get it back, and he lost a lot of money. Say what...... Two ships were sunk. ”

Datang has many strange systems, for example, there are several channels for the source of officials' income, one of which is lending. The Huazhou Prefecture Government had a sum of money allocated from above, and the Prefecture Government went to find rich people in Huazhou who 'had a way', and asked them to take the money to lend money, and regularly send the interest to the Prefecture Government, and this interest was part of the officials' income.

This money is called public money, and these rich people who have a way are called money grabbers.

That's not right!

Jia Ping'an thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

There is no wind and no waves in this season, if the ship is sunk, it is good to sink one, and the two ships sink together, how is it like that...... It's like a trick to cheat on loans in a previous life?

Thinking about the news that Liang Bo is seriously ill in the past few days, Jia Ping'an feels very interesting.

But it had nothing to do with him, so he mumbled and fell asleep.

The next morning, Yang Deli kicked Jia Ping'an out, "You used to like to read under the tree, from today on, you just need to read." ”

This cousin is really capable!

Jia Ping'an picked up a book, slowly slipped under the tree, and looked at it carefully.

He is a history lover, has some research on the history of the Tang and Song dynasties, and is also interested in the imperial examination, a weapon that shakes the foundation of the gate valve family.

At present, the most important thing in the imperial examination of the Tang Dynasty is the poetry, and then the trial strategy, both of which have room for Jia Ping'an to cheat.

But now he has no idea of taking the imperial examination at all, and he wants to live like this in Yangjiawu.

When the time comes, marry a virtuous daughter-in-law, have a few children, teach them knowledge, and watch them grow......

Suck!

Jia Ping'an thought of the place of joy, couldn't help but suck his saliva, and then looked up and saw a majestic face in front of him.

This person has a dark beard, a fair complexion, and looks like he is in his forties, and his demeanor is not angry and arrogant.

Jia Ping'an got up and arched his hand, "I've seen my husband." ”。 When he handed it over, he found that this man was wearing an official uniform, and his heart was full of chuckles.

The man glanced at him, took a step back, clenched his right hand, and could vaguely see the Buddha statue, and asked, "Is there anything wrong three steps away?" ”

He took two big men with him, and he was accompanied by Yang Zhongshun, who was the village leader. The group was at least six steps away from Jia Ping'an.

Yang Zhongshun said respectfully: "Envoy, this is what a senior monk said, that high monk is famous in Huazhou, and he is the most effective. He said that as long as it is not a long-cherished grudge, in fact, it is okay to be close. ”

Envoy?

Jia Ping'an was a spirit, and he immediately knew that disaster was coming.

In the Tang Dynasty, the envoy is basically the title of the history of the thorn, and Liang Bo, the history of the Huazhou thorn, is it said that he was seriously ill a few days ago, is this the new history of the thorn?

The new assassin Shi just came to Huazhou, and he immediately came to Yangjiawu, what do you want to do?

Jia Ping'an looked at the two big men behind the new assassin Shi, his feet were a little weak, and he wanted to run away.

But the dock fort has a wall! How to run? When the time comes, he will be unable to fly.

"Long-cherished grudges?" The man stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "If you say that you have a grudge, the old man has already found out his traces, in the past fourteen years, he has mostly spent his days in Yangjiawu, studied in the township for a few years, and killed his husband and went home." Who has a grudge against him? ”

As he spoke, the man stared at Jia Ping'an, his dark eyes full of unconcealed vigilance.

Jia Ping'an arched his hand, "I've seen the envoy." ”

He didn't worry that he would be killed, after all, the nobles of Chang'an were worried about who would be killed after the broom star died, so the biggest possibility was to be put under house arrest, and then invite one hundred and eighty high-ranking monks and Taoists to suppress him.

Thinking about living in the temple in the future, countless people outside are reciting scriptures every day, Jia Ping'an somehow thought of Xu Xian.

But where's my white snake?

The man squinted and said, "Do you know your sins?" ”

This is a door, and then it must be a means.

Jia Ping'an was a little panicked, but still maintained a calm attitude, "The student doesn't know. ”

He is a scholar and can call himself a student.

The man sneered: "The old man saw that you had a bad face, it can be seen that you are a natural broom star, in this way, you can go to the monk to practice, if you can not harm others, maybe you can also get a good death." ”

The so-called going to practice with a high monk is actually house arrest, plus repression with Buddhism.

This is a possibility that Jia Ping'an was thinking crankily before, and at this moment he was panicked, but gradually calmed down, and after thinking about it, he said: "So let the students go after tidying up their homes." ”

Yang Zhongshun sighed: "Envoy, this person is honest in the village. ”

The man bowed his head and said with a cold face: "The old man just asked people to go to the monk to ask and make arrangements." So, tomorrow the old man will come again. ”

After they left, Yang Deli, who rushed to hear the news, knelt on the ground and cried, "Auntie, I didn't look forward to peace, aunt, I deserve death for a certain crime!" ”

He burst into tears, his hands pounding the ground.

The villagers shook their heads and sighed in the distance, but some of them looked happy, probably thinking that the broom star was leaving, and they didn't have to worry about it.

Jia Ping'an thinks it's not bad to go to the temple, isn't that martial sister there...... Is it in the temple of Ganye, maybe it will come out when it will come.

"That traitor, that big traitor, I'm going to kill him!" Yang Deli remembered his aunt's words before she died, to take care of her cousin. Now my cousin is going to house arrest in the temple, what is this? So he hated the new assassin Shi to the core, and even said such taboo words.

"Traitor?" Jia Ping'an was stunned.

There are not many traitors in the Tang Dynasty, and this is Huazhou, one of the gateways to Chang'an, who dares to use traitors to guard it?

Yang Deli raised his head and said with blurred tears: "It's a traitor, that Xu Jingzong knelt on the ground and begged for mercy back then, shameful." Still laughing at the funeral......"

Xu Jingzong?

I'll go!

Jia Ping'an couldn't help but rejoice.

Is it Lao Xu coming?

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, famous ministers gathered, and when Li Shimin opened his own mansion, he once summoned some literati, known as the eighteen bachelors, and Lao Xu was one of them.

It's just that Xu Jingzong is too weird, he often does things that make the boss want to cry without tears, and he is stupid, stupid and cute. His only strength is probably the attribute of a loyal dog, plus he is very effective. The boss will do whatever he wants, and it doesn't matter who offends him for this.

Most of the courtiers in these years have their own ideas, and it is impossible for a loyal dog to be loyal to a dog, so it seems that Xu Jingzong is so wonderful.

He came, Jia Ping'an felt that his opportunity had also come, if it worked well, the crisis of the broom star might be over.

……

Lao Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world." Readers, the old man is polite. ”
