In ancient times, there was only the lunar calendar, there was no A.D., and the so-called A.D. years in later generations were actually counts used by later generations for their own convenience.

Therefore, in ancient times, there was only a certain dynasty and a certain year......

In a year, it is divided into four seasons, spring has mango seeds, summer has summer busy, and when summer and autumn alternate, it is actually the well-known autumn harvest.

That's right, the beginning of the autumn harvest begins in the summer.

Every year in the sixth month of the lunar calendar, there is a crop of wheat harvested, which is called summer grain, which is the most important period in the northern part of the Central Plains.

The whole summer and autumn harvest will last for two or three months, and even until the arrival of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the reason is very simple, the land of the Central Plains is too vast and desert, from south to north, tens of thousands of miles, wheat ripening needs light, so the harvest time of each region is different.

Now it is Hebei's turn to harvest summer grain.

The first to start is Wuyang County, the southernmost county.

In the early morning of this day, Gu Tianya was pulled up early, and he was pulled up not to work, but to put on makeup and dress up as a 'dancing god'.

The female apprentice Tan Xiao seemed to be deliberately bad, smeared a thick layer of powder on his face, and then scattered his hair to make him look like a ghost.

When Tan Xiao's 'sinful little hand' was about to touch his master's chest, Gu Tianya finally couldn't help but open his mouth, and reminded coldly: "If you are not afraid of being divided by your master's five horses, then you can touch your hand in and try it......"

Tan Xiao stuck out her tongue and said mischievously: "Shi Niang is not here, as long as you don't say it, no one knows." ”

Gu Tianya glared at her and scolded, "Don't forget your identity, and don't forget that I am your master." ”

Tan Xiao smiled evilly, revealing two cute little tiger teeth, and said with silky eyes: "Master sleeps with apprentices, isn't it more exciting?" ”

Gu Tianya was furious, his eyes were wandering around the room, he wanted to find a stick that was handy, and directly beat this rebel to death on the spot.

It happened that Li Chongyi passed by in front of the door, and this kid was carrying a Tang knife all the time, Gu Tianya shouted at him and beckoned: "Chongyi, bring the knife to the teacher." ”

Li Chongyi glanced into the door, first startled by the foundation on Gu Tianya's face, suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife, and asked sharply: "Who are you demons, dare to be in my master's room?" The demon looks at my magic knife, and it is like a numb ......"

Gu Tianya angrily picked up a stool and smashed it over.

Li Chongyi smiled strangely and ran away with his head in his arms.

Tan Xiao covered his small mouth and leaned back together, his smiling eyebrows and eyes were all squeezed together, and he said triumphantly: "Master, you actually asked him for a knife, and you don't want to think about whether he has the guts...... He didn't dare to offend me, so he deliberately made excuses to make you angry and let you run away. ”

Gu Tianya's chest rose and fell angrily, and he said angrily: "There is no positive shape, I don't understand the etiquette of going up and down, Li Chongyi is not like a senior brother as a senior brother, and you are not like a junior sister as a junior sister, if you dare to go on like this, sooner or later I will expel you from the division......

Tan Xiao stuck out her tongue, not daring to continue to tease her master, she reached out and picked up the eyebrow brush, ready to draw a picture for her master.

Gu Tianya jumped up and said with a pale face: "I can endure the powder, and I can also endure wearing this costume of a dancing god, but if you dare to paint my eyebrows, Hugh blames the teacher for turning his face with you now......"

Tan Xiao sighed, stretched out his finger to the sky outside, and said crisply: "Master, take a look for yourself, the sky is about to brighten, and today's summer grain in Wuyang County can't make everyone unlucky." Thousands of people in Manxian County, as well as tens of thousands of homeless people, are all looking forward to it, even if you don't want to, you have to endure it. ”

Gu Tianya took a deep breath, frowned and asked, "Do you have to be thrushed?" ”

Tan Xiao nodded solemnly, and tried to hold back a smile: "This is an ancient tradition, only the great sages are qualified?" Master, don't be angry, let the apprentice paint your eyebrows, and after the painting, you will look like Shennong......"

The tone is like coaxing a child.

Gu Tianya's face was full of helplessness, so he could only sit stiffly and let Shi do it, but he, a female apprentice, had bad intentions, and always touched him indiscriminately, and took the opportunity of makeup to touch him seventeen or eighteen times.

Thankfully, the makeup time has finally passed.

He was painted by Tan Xiao as not human......

……

At this time, the sky had already brightened, and there was a sudden inquiry from the post guard outside, and he said respectfully: "Dashuai, the time is almost up, the officials in the county government, the village leaders of each village, the chief of the village, the village head, and the old man, the blessed old woman, all of them are waiting at the edge of the field, just waiting for you to go over and preside over the opening ceremony." ”

Gu Tianya sighed and got up, first glanced at the clothes on his body, the long skirt, dragged on the ground, and there must be a feather crown on his head, like a savage fool.

He walked to the basin and looked down again, and found that his face was pale like a ghost, especially the two eyebrows, which were painted by Tan Xiao more like a ghost.

A ghost king who is alive and well, it is estimated that the gods are not opponents.

He turned his head to look at Tan Xiao, sighed helplessly again, and said in annoyance: "I really can't understand as a teacher, can this ghost look like Shennong?" ”

"Why isn't it Shennong? This is a qualification that only a great sage can have. ”

"Shennong will not be beaten to death by the ancients when he wears this out?"

"Oh, Master, don't be verbose, okay? The ancients couldn't even eat, how could they have so many exquisiteness and rules, this is the way that the descendants pondered, don't you know that your knowledge is like the sea and the abyss? ”

"It's because I know it, that's why I think it's hateful."

"Damn, you have to survive today, that's what the people are looking forward to. If there is no Daehyun dancing and begging to go to the warehouse, the people will think that this is a sign of bad luck......"

"Okay, I'll jump!"

……

The heavens and the earth are big, and it is not as big as the people to eat.

Tune the big god and dance the big god.

Doesn't matter.

Anyway, his face was smeared with powder, and no one could see his red face, Gu Tianya walked all the way out of the post station and ran to the field that had already been chosen.

This land is a county field, to put it bluntly, it is a place dedicated to ceremonies, since ancient times, the county has a county field, the state has a state field, and at the first level, there is also a road field.

Even if it rises to the height of the court, there is still a three-thirds of the country's field, which is the place where the emperor is responsible for jumping the gods, and no one can escape this set of summer grain harvests every year.

The county fields of Wuyang County are also three miles and three, and the wheat planted is the favorite of the northerners.

An old farmer at the edge of the field, kneeling there with his hands on his chest, he is a farmer in this county field, and has been responsible for planting this ceremonial field.

When Gu Tianya and Tan Xiao arrived, Tian Nong suddenly performed the five-body throwing ceremony and praised loudly: "Nong, please open the sickle." Farmer, please bless it"

The farmer he said in his mouth did not mean that Gu Tianya was a farmer, but Shennong, and Gu Tianya now represents Shennong.

Gu Tianya took a sickle tied with a red rope, walked down the ridge under the watchful eye of everyone, and then bent down to cut an ear of wheat.

At this time, the wind came slowly, the wheat in the field was wavy, and the golden color seemed to shine the eyes of the people, Gu Tianya raised the sickle and the ears of wheat, and shouted loudly to the sky: "Feng! ”

"Abundance!"

"Abundance!"

"Abundance!"

Hundreds of people roared together, and the sound was like a mountain and a sea.

At this time, it was only early morning, but as soon as the sun came out, the heat wave swept away, and the temperature rose rapidly, making people feel hot and dry, Gu Tianya was wearing dozens of pounds of clothing, and he only felt that his chest was suffocated, but when he saw the desire in the eyes of hundreds of people, he suddenly felt that no matter how unbearable the heat was, he could bear it.

He was a peasant boy.

The dance of Shennong, danced by him, a sickle in his hand, like a ritual weapon begging for Shangcang, he waved it wildly, he roared the words of blessing loudly, and suddenly Tan Xiao jumped out of the field, accompanied by Gu Tianya, she was like a butterfly, dancing gracefully and ethereal.

"Abundance!"

"Abundance!"

"Abundance!"

The common people kept yelling, and everyone was smiling with joy on their faces, and those displaced people who had fled from the famine looked at these people with envy in their eyes at this time.

The displaced people have no land, and they cannot enjoy the joy of harvesting.

The scythe opening ceremony lasted for half an hour, and Gu Tianya's dancing god had almost jumped into prostration. Finally, it's time to harvest.

But I saw thousands of women and children rushing into the fields, wielding sickles in the scorching sun, as if in the blink of an eye, dozens of acres of land were emptied and wheated.

Gu Tianya was soaking wet, and fell to the edge of the field, and just as he was gasping for breath, he suddenly heard a movement behind him.

I only heard someone speak cautiously, with a deliberate flattery in his tone, and said: "This year, there is a Gu Yichang in Wuyang County to open the sickle, and the 140,000 mu of land in the county will inevitably be abundant......

Gu Tianya glanced back and found that it was the county commander and the county magistrate standing with their hands down, he beckoned to the two of them and motioned for the two officials to sit down and talk.

The two officials were a little overjoyed, and carefully put their butts on the ridges, looking at their restrained appearance, as if they were facing the Tang Emperor.

Gu Tianya couldn't cry or laugh, so he had no choice but to beckon again, and said, "Sit closer, let's talk about something, you are so far away from me, are you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

The county commander and the county Cheng laughed and said in a low voice: "You won't kill anyone, but that female disciple of yours is ruthless, if we are rude, I'm afraid we won't survive tonight." ”

Gu Tianya smiled, waved his hand and said: "There will be no Tan family in the future, she is ready to return the family business to fifty percent, once she does this, the Tan family will inevitably split up with her." At that time, she had no power to threaten the officials of the county government. ”

Who knew that the two officials shook their heads again and again, and said with solemn faces: "Even if she is alone, no one in Wuyang County dares to underestimate her." ”

Gu Tianya was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "Is my apprentice so majestic?" ”

"It's not prestige, it's prestige, or rather, it's killing fame."

"Alright, let's not discuss this. Tell me what you're looking for me......"

"Well, you promise not to get angry first, otherwise your apprentice may get us angry when he sees you."

"Don't worry, she's very obedient."
