Chapter Ninety-Seven: Blackmail
The watermelon that Yun Lang brought was very sweet, and after being chilled for a long time, it could be frosted into the lungs with a bite.
Cao Xiang ate like a flower, and finally waited for half of the melon to be eaten, then raised his face full of melon juice and said: "Tomorrow I will pull more than a dozen carts over, I think it is okay for me to eat thousands of catties alone." ”
"If you plant an acre of land, it should be enough for you to eat, but there will be no more for outsiders."
Cao Xiang looked at the half of the melon in Yunyin's hand and said regretfully: "Take some more, you can do this thing if you can't eat half of it?" ”
Yun Lang pushed a piece of melon in front of him to Cao Xiang and said: "I'm ripe today, if you want to eat it again, wait two days, and the melons in the field should be fully ripe by then." ”
Cao Xiang didn't look half embarrassed, took the watermelon pushed by Yun Lang and continued to eat.
"Such delicious things should be planted all over the world, why do you plant so little land in one acre?"
"That's all there is to it!"
"There should be more seeds next year, right?"
"If you eat all the seeds like you, there will be no seeds available next year."
Cao Xiang licked his lips and said regretfully: "Tell me, why are there always so few good things in this world?"
If you're not careful, it's extinct, but it's useless things all over the world. ”
After Yunyin finished eating the watermelon, she didn't like to stay in the Cao family's wheat field, and urged her father to go home.
Cao Xiang dragged Yunyin over, kissed her on the forehead fiercely, and said, "One day I will let you stay at my house and not leave." ”
The servants continued to be busy, Xungui, the nobles had already packed their things and went home, and Su Zhi muttered that he had lost money by coming to Cao's house this time, and hundreds of catties of watermelons were missing.
"Husband, you didn't see the appearance of the Li family, they were reluctant to eat the watermelon, and pretended to take out a handkerchief to wrap it up, and take it back to the child to eat, that Xie Shi was even more excessive, saying that he wanted to take it back to honor the dozen or so old people in the family, and half a melon was enough for anyone to eat.
The concubine had no choice but to promise to send ten of them in a few days. ”
Yun Lang didn't listen to Su Zhi's words, his eyes fell on the official road in the distance, where more than a dozen knights in filial piety clothes were galloping wildly.
Yun Lang waited for the carriage to go on the official road, so he asked the groom to park the carriage on the side of the road and wait for the knights to come, and when the knights approached, Yun Lang saw the spirit flag on the knight's back, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said to Su Zhi: "The Queen Mother is here." ”
Su Zhi was about to applaud, but when he saw the knight approaching quickly, he hurriedly pretended to be sad.
The knight came to Yun Lang's side and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager is unconscious, Your Majesty ordered Yong'an Hou to hurry to Ganquan Palace to die for the Empress Dowager together!" ”
Yun Lang didn't say a word, immediately untied a horse from the carriage, and without using a saddle, jumped on the horse and galloped towards Ganquan Palace.
This kind of thing, the faster you run, the more embarrassed you are, the more you will be praised by everyone, and the more you will be seen by the emperor, at least one filial piety praise can't run away.
Cao Xiang also received the same order, and when he saw Yun Lang running over quickly, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late to go after my grandmother dies!" ”
Yun Lang said angrily: "It was your grandmother who died, how could you say such a thing, quickly remove your saddle, ride a bareback horse, you have to run faster than me, dare to laugh again, be careful that your mother skins you." ”
Cao Xiang thought of his mother, and couldn't help but shudder, unsaddled off the saddle and rode a bareback horse like Yun Lang, shouting to the sky and grabbing the ground all the way to Ganquan Palace.
More than thirty miles away, the fast horse arrived in a flash, Cao Xiang rolled off the horse with a wail, didn't care to look for the lost shoes, grabbed a eunuch and roared: "I only saw my grandmother ten days ago, and I was fine at that time, why do I want to continue my life now?" ”
The eunuch howled and cried: "The weather is too hot, the queen mother is greedy for cold, and there is more ice in the house, who knows......"
"Grandmother, wait, grandson Cao Xiang is here......"
Cao Xiang pushed away the eunuch, staggered with one bare foot, and ran to the queen mother's bedroom in grief.
Yun Lang was very satisfied with Cao Xiang's performance, and took Sui Yue's hand with a solemn face and said: "Great Order, how is the Queen Mother's royal body, can it be used in the Yun family's place, someone has been sent to pick up the clumsy Jing, Your Majesty also has to take care of it, in the hot weather, don't be too sad." ”
Sui Yuehu looked at the overly enthusiastic Yun Lang suspiciously, shook off the dust and said: "I have already prepared Huangquan, and I will soon ask the Queen Mother to take refuge in Huangquan, but this time the illness came urgently and fiercely, I hope I can hide it from the ghosts." ”
Yun Lang nodded again and again, then wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve, came to the edge of the well, pulled up a bucket of well water, drank half a bucket of water, threw down the wooden bucket, and said to Gongsun Hong, who was sitting under the tree with his eyes closed: "Whenever there is a sending, the prime minister will command!" ”
Gongsun Hong opened his old eyes and glanced at Yun Lang and said, "Let's rest first, and after the sweat on my body goes down, I will listen to His Majesty's arrangement." ”
The old man closed his eyes again after speaking.
Touching a nail that was not too big or small, Yun Lang sighed and found a shady place to watch the development of the situation.
Sang Hongyang happened to be sitting there, looked back at Yun Lang's dress and nodded, "Came directly from the field?" ”
Yun Lang nodded and said, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”
Sang Hongyang sighed and said: "The world is impermanent, people have the worry of overturning, only in the evening, Yong'an Hou is still young, and there is no need to take life and death to heart." ”
Yun Lang said: "People of my age always feel that death does not seem to be a terrible thing. ”
"That's why you're going to do things that cost your life."
"It's not all like this, for example, when he gets sick, he likes the feeling of being on the battlefield, likes to fight bloodily, likes to watch the Huns die under his spear, whether he is a hussar general or a small captain, the battlefield is a battlefield for him, there is no difference."
Sang Hongyang smiled, and then said to Yun Lang: "In that case, why don't you continue to serve as a military commander under the command of the hussar general, but you are bent on farming?" ”
Yun Lang sighed and said: "It is because of the combat experience of driving thousands of miles that Yun Mou discovered that the battlefield is not only in the border pass, in the grassland, in the Gobi, but also in the pass, but also in the court and the fields.
I stayed in the border to fight when I was sick, so that I could get these things when I needed food, materials, and weapons to support my illness.
You see, in a sense, I am still the military commander of the hussar general. ”
Sang Hongyang snorted coldly and said, "You don't trust others? Do you have to do it yourself? ”
Yun Lang raised his head and looked at the blue sky and said: "A certain family believes that no one will dare to joke about military affairs, but a certain family thinks that no one can do better than a certain family!" ”
"Somewhere?"
"If you don't emphasize my existence at this time, Doctor Yu Shi will think I'm joking!"
Sang Hongyang said helplessly: "What a good one, are the young people now like you who are arrogant and rude?" ”
Yun Lang shook his head and said: "The financial resources are developed, not saved, and not snatched through some means.
Doing so will only make the world more and more poor. ”
"Boy, rude!" Sang Hongyang was furious.
Yun Lang smiled and said, "If the doctor has time, please come to the Yun family and see if Yun is really rude when he speaks!" ”
Sang Hongyang looked at Yun Lang suspiciously: "You don't mean to humiliate the old man?" ”
Yun Lang said: "At most, the political views are different, and I can't even talk about political opinions, because I told you in person." ”
Sang Hongyang nodded and said, "That's true, even if it's a casual conversation, no one has said such things to the old man for a long time."
In this way, your fight with the Huang family can also be regarded as a way to expand financial resources? “
"If the doctor sees Yun Lang as a silkworm farmer, and wants to watch himself work hard to raise silkworms, reel silk, and then be exploited by a family like the Huang family, he will understand why Yun will deal with the Huang family so ruthlessly."
"Even so, if you burn the Sword Pavilion for seven hundred miles, there is no cave in Shu, and such a rumor is too vicious."
Yun Lang arched his hand and said: "Please tell the Huang family that the things taken from my study must be returned in their original form, otherwise, they will not die!" ”
Sang Hongyang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What did he take from your house?" ”
Yun Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, it's either the dyeing method, or the hundred and ten dyeing workshop craftsmen, or something else!"
When I remember, add it slowly! ”
