Chapter Seventy-Five: The People Are Waiting

From getting up to sitting on the table for breakfast, Xu Qingshi changed four or five times, and almost masturbated in the bath, but he masturbated it by himself, which is called having yang and no yin, and it is not good for his health if he is not reconciled, so Xu Qing chose it.

At breakfast, I only saw two large tables of food, just one steamed bun, and there were actually three pots! The servant explained that at first, every maidservant wanted to show her hand, but then the family had nothing to do, so she also showed her hand.

So I renovated two large tables, and only put them up, and those that stayed in the back kitchen, and could put two more tables.

Where could Xu Qing eat so much, so he asked everyone in the family to come and eat. The subordinates were reluctant at first, so how could the master and the subordinates eat at the same table? Later, Xu Qing said, you have a table, I have a table alone, and the people reluctantly agreed to Xu Qing. However, they still had to watch Xu Qing take a bite before they sat down.

There are a lot of people in the family, more than 100 men, women and children, and they took out the back kitchen, so everyone ate one and a half full, of course, Xu Qing was full.

A bowl of millet porridge, two soft steamed buns, a few dishes of side dishes, and even sugar from Hongshan Town. However, these candies are better than Xu Qing in Liu San's taste, both in color and taste. Although both of them are high-quality products, Liu San's one is a big pot of rice, and Xu Qing's is a small stove, which is naturally different.

Removed the dishes and chopsticks, the family left to work, only a few beautiful maids remained, and an old man bent over and walked over: "Uncle is here, please accept the little old man's worship......"

Xu Qing was stunned and asked, "Are you?" ”

"The little old man's name is Ni Bai, and he was arranged by Steward Yang, and he takes care of the common affairs of the county on weekdays. Uncle, the little old man is guilty! The old man kowtowed.

"Uh, mud, mud? Get up," Xu Qing looked at him and asked, "What is the sin of the first time we met?" ”

Ni Bai bent down and said, "Master, those scholars last night were the little old man's eyes that were not good, so let them flicker and accept them as guests." ”

Xu Qing also remembered this incident, and he asked, "What about them now, they won't die, right?" ”

The little old man said: "No, they spent the night in the firewood room, and now they are all pulling the old man's nose, and when they see me, they all kowtow and beg the old man to spare his life." ”

As soon as Xu Qing heard this, he was also afraid of causing trouble, Luonan was no better than Liaodong, and the king here could rule him. So Xu Qing nodded and said, "Bring them over, no, just let them pack up their personal things, and get out of Luonan from now on." ”

Xu Qing tilted his head and thought about it again, and then ordered: "Send someone to squat to prevent them from leaving to get a handful." ”

Old man Ni Bai walked out and arranged for 7 other subordinates to do it, still standing in front of Xu Qing with a look of fear. It seems that if Xu Qing doesn't say the words "forgive you for your innocence", he won't feel good. Xu Qing thought that Ni Bai dared to accept customers, but Yang Wen nodded, and Yang Wen nodded, it was authorized by himself, and he must have nodded from the perspective of Xu Qing's good. So, Xu Qing said softly: "Mud, mud hundred, I don't blame you, besides, you did a good job of breakfast and bath this morning......

Ni Bai said embarrassedly: "Master, I didn't arrange these things this morning, they did it spontaneously." ”

Xu Qing couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, looking at the few beautiful maids who were left, they also nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Old Man Ni Bai laughed, and then said: "Master, not only is the family so spontaneously boiling water and cooking for the master, but there are also many people outside the door who bring things to see the master, and they have been standing for an hour......

Xu Qing suddenly stood up when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "What did you say?" There are so many people waiting for me outside the door? ”

Old man Ni Bai didn't expect Xu Qing to react so much, and said, "Old man, there must be a hundred people,"

Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "I said Ni Bai, it's wrong for you here!" ”

Immediately, Xu Qing stepped on the door and went out, and when he went out of the three doors, three people greeted him with cows eating grass. The three of them said to Xu Qing with bitter faces: "Master, these women don't let us in!" ”

Xu Qing turned his head to see that five bucket-waisted women were standing at the door of the three gates, holding maces, and when they saw Xu Qing coming, they only saluted slightly. This is even stronger than what Xu Qing saw in Luotou Village. Xu Qing shook his head, no wonder when he was eating just now, he only saw eight or nine men.

The cows were grazing and a few people had spent the night hastily outside, and as soon as the gate opened, they went out to take a look, and they were almost scared to death. Several people crowded on the sidelines, sitting on the ground as if they had been waiting for a long time, men and women, old and young. Several of them knew that Xu Qing cared more about the feelings of the people, so they hurried in to inform Xu Qing, but they were stopped by these five fierce women.

When Xu Qing learned of this situation, he was also speechless for a while, but he didn't delay anything, he and the cow grazing and a few people immediately went out to meet the people.

Outside the Bofu in Luonan County, all the people are looking forward to it, with a letter of bacon, a jar of lard, a bottle of honey, and an egg in their hands. When food is abundant, food is still the most valuable and courteous gift. You don't see, the most favored by the emperor are not those courtiers who award high-ranking officials and generous knights, that can only show that the emperor relies on them very much, and those courtiers and concubines who can eat with the emperor are the simplest people in the emperor's heart. This ritual is called "sharing food", and the ancient food was insufficient, and sharing food is also dividing life......

As soon as Xu Qing went out, he couldn't help but be grateful when he saw the people carrying these simple gifts. When the people saw Xu Qing coming, they finally dared to walk up the steps, before they only dared to stomp their feet at the bottom of the steps, three steps away,

Xu Qing casually helped an old man, picked up a female doll casually, and wiped her frozen snot. Then he said to everyone: "Fathers and fellow villagers, how can I, Xu Qing, be so loved by everyone?" ”

When the people heard this, they became more and more moved, and they didn't know who took the lead, so they all knelt down, and shouted in a low voice: "Grass people, wait for you, welcome the county uncle back to his home!" ”

Xu Qing put the female doll down, helped everyone up again, and then said, "Come in, everyone, have been waiting for me for so long, drink some hot water and ginger soup to warm up, right?" ”

The family standing at the door listened to Xu Qing's words, and he was also clever, a cat's head, and went back to cook ginger soup. The people excitedly asked, "Can we go in and sit too?" ”

Xu Qing sighed and said with a smile: "Everyone, the villagers, what do you have to come in?" Come in, it's cold outside......" Not only did he say so, Xu Qing also dragged a peasant into the house.

Only then did the people relieve their doubts, straighten their sleeves, pat their trouser legs, shake their shoes, and stepped through the gate - looking at everything with a kind of inferiority complex and excited eyes peculiar to the people at the bottom.

Xu Qing saw tears in his eyes, he didn't pity the people for suffering, but when he saw the people's expression, he remembered his parents in later generations. His parents were also farmers, and once went to a distant place to visit a well-developed relative, and it was with this kind of eyes that he looked around.
