Chapter Seventy-Three: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust
Chapter Seventy-Three: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust
No one slept in the Bofu of Luonan County tonight, not only did no one sleep in the house, but none of the dozens of households around the Bofu of Luonan County slept soundly. If it weren't for those scholars, they wouldn't have known where they were thrown by the excited family and villagers. There is only one reason why everyone doesn't sleep, and that is that they are the ones who recite as bodhisattvas every day are back, and Xu Qing is back!
Xu Qing never thought that he could give his family so much excitement when he came back, those maids and maids in his family, it was not enough to look at Xu Qing from a distance, so he had to touch it closer, or be touched by Xu Qing.
If it weren't for Xu Qing's tired face, they would have to put Xu Qing on the table and chat for a few more days and nights. In the end, there was a kabuki in the three gates, who was later transformed into an authentic maid by Xun Xue'er, and she took the initiative to offer the incense bed to Xu Qing, and she slept with her sisters. But her sisters were envious, and they were willing to forgive her only if they took revenge on her.
As for the cows eating grass, the treatment is far inferior, not to mention far inferior, it is simply one in the sky and one in the ground! The three of them were only pulled back by the gatekeeper, and hastily arranged a room that was not much better than the firewood room.
Xu Qing slept on the incense bed offered by the beauty, and couldn't help but sigh, I don't want to go out anymore, how good is it to be at home every day? How much fun is counting money? Rot. Defeat to the end! With Yingying Yanyan by the side, gold, silver and jewelry in hand, what power struggle, what military affairs, get out of the way, don't bother that brain! Thinking like this, Xu Qing slowly fell asleep......
But the housekeepers, maidservants, and the people around them don't sleep like this.
The family members are discussing what to do tomorrow to pick up the dust for the master. Yes, the lord doesn't like to take a bath, and he will let the lord take a bath early tomorrow morning! Zhang San went to fetch water and went overnight, and Li Si went to chop firewood and went immediately.
The maidservants are also discussing, why didn't the lord come back with his wife this time, without the lady, can the lord sleep soundly? Oops, really, what should I do if the old man kicks the quilt? Who's going to see if they can tuck the quilt? Whether your hands are cold or not, who will help the master warm his hands, how to warm them, oops, I'm ashamed. Don't don't, let's think about it, what will you eat for the lord tomorrow morning?
In the surrounding villagers, the husband and wife are generally spreading pancakes in the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
"Dad, Master Xu is back, let's not send something?"
"Oh damn it, I'm thinking about it too, I'm afraid you won't agree......"
"What do you mean, when I'm somebody? I saw it, so I sent the jar of lard at home......"
"A jar of lard! Damn, what's wrong with you today, why don't you pick the door? ”
"Oh, you mean I used to slam the door, see if I don't strangle you!"
"Oops, oops, damn it, I didn't mean that, it hurts, oops, it hurts......"
"Although the old lady is a peasant girl, she is also a woman who knows the general situation, she picks the door on weekdays, that is to live a house, I don't know if this matter is heavy or light today? Death Phase! ”
"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful, okay, hehe, we sent the lard, but our children can't send lard."
"Why?"
"The lard has eaten Mengxin, our children go to touch the blessings of the master, what is the lard with the altar? I see, just send eggs, eggs are good, round, blessed, and ...... bright"
"Cheng, I'll go to the cage and dig it out, and clean up the eggs."
Rural chickens are free-range, and in order to prevent chickens from laying eggs everywhere, an egg or white river pebbles are placed in the chicken coop to attract hens to lay eggs in the chicken coop. To send out the eggs is to do your best to send things and show grandeur. In the past, there was a thing in the countryside, which was the bed board grass, which was used for straw and wheat straw mats, and if the farmer pulled the bed board and grass to boil water to make tea for you, it was a particularly noble guest to come.
In fact, the villagers are so grateful to Xu Qing, not only because of his low taxes, but also because the villagers have heard various legends from Cangzhou. The legend of Xu Qing has already become a miracle passed down by word of mouth in Luonan County.
When the people of Hongshan Town walked to the county seat, they could see in the vast sea of people, why, the aura was different. If someone asks him, why are you so crazy, the farmer in Hongshan Town will inevitably answer, I am a tenant of the fairy family, I plant fairy land, and drink fairy water. Eating fairy rice, do you think I'm crazy? Tremble, mortal!
If someone still asks, which way is the fairy, the farmer will pat his chest and say, Luonan County Bo Xu Qing! The one who listens will definitely no longer ask, nor will he question, but will only respectfully say, it is indeed a living immortal.
The legend of Xu Qingzhi is so in Luonan. In Luonan, everyone praised Xu Qing as Luonan County, not Cangzhou, but in Cangzhou or Hebei, it was the opposite. It is the words "Luonan" and "Cangzhou" that have given the locals infinite glory, and it is no wonder that there are so many former residences of powerful celebrities in later generations.
Because of Xu Qing, the maidservants and maids of all the villagers, they have food and clothing, not the kind of food and clothing that makes a living, but meat to eat, fire to roast, and spare money to enjoy food and clothing. In the Tang Dynasty, this should be called Xiaokang. Because of Xu Qing, the female villagers of all families, they are full of confidence and face when they go out. Although most of this face is pasted on their own faces, such as my house is a river away from Uncle Xu's house, there is a lot of face. Because of Xu Qing, they have a sense of security to marry and have children with peace of mind, and they no longer have to worry about starving babies to death in thin years.
With these three, the hierarchical needs of Maslow's theory have been greatly satisfied. In Hongshan Town, every villager will say, I am very happy!
Therefore, Xu Qing went home, this is a big event, a big thing, more important than the performance of the new county order and the burp of the old county order. Not to mention the New Year's holiday, it's not worth mentioning at all. Therefore, the villagers took out the prepared New Year's goods and took out the one they were most proud of, and came to wait in front of Luo Nanbo's mansion early, just like the believers who grabbed the first incense in later generations.
In the Bofu of Luonan County, a bathroom specially customized by Xu Qing was cleaned, and buckets of steaming hot water were poured into the bath. The water in the bath just reached Xu Qing's chest, and the temperature was probed, and every tea was probed. If it's low, scoop it up from the pool and reheat it to make sure the water temperature is just right.
In the kitchen, all the maidservants took out the unique skills at the bottom of the box, and some of these maidservants were kabuki turned regular, they were already versatile, and they were not bad at cooking. There are also some women who are skillful farmers and some are palace maids selected by the court, so that the eight immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers, and a luxurious breakfast is gradually put out.
