Zhang Ji left from Wei Renshi's house with a full burp.

Before leaving, he was a little drunk, but he didn't forget to ask Wei Renshi to leave him a set of coal stoves that he would make in the future and give them to Fang Xuezheng of the county school, and Fang Xuezheng would naturally find a way to send it to him - the two of them are somewhat related.

Jiao Haiqing also said goodbye not long after, he was also elated, saw the benefits of the coal stove, and was ready to go back to discuss with his family how to cooperate with Wei Renshi in this coal business.

Wei Renshi himself fell back to bed because he drank some wine, and when he woke up, the moon had already risen in the sky.

Mrs. Tai has fallen asleep.

Xi'er is not yet, and is sitting on the steps of the courtyard in a daze.

Hearing Wei Renshi come out, he withdrew his gaze from the moon, got up and said, "Lang Jun is awake?" Hungry or not? Thirsty? ”

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Wei Renshi asked with a smile.

"Xi'er doesn't sleep off, thinking that Lang Jun doesn't wake up at night to eat, he will definitely wake up hungry, and he will be thirsty when he wakes up." Xi'er replied with a smile. The silver moonlight fell into her clear spring-like eyes, as bright as the moonlight in the sky.

"I'm warming gruel for Lang Jun in the pot!" Xi'er said again: "Do you want to drink it now?" ”

Wei Renshi was suddenly moved, and replied with a smile: "That couldn't be better." ”

Xi'er was very happy, and ran to the stove like a gust of wind, and after a while, he came out with a wooden dinner plate, on which was placed a bowl of gruel, a few steamed buns, and a plate of pickles.

"Just drink some porridge." Wei Renshi took a sip from the bowl, the warm and slightly cool taste, from the mouth to the stomach, a piece of comfort.

Xi'er is a careful girl, and she knows that Wei Renshi likes to drink slightly cooler gruel.

Thinking about how this girl had to add or subtract coals from time to time to maintain the gruel to such a temperature, Wei Renshi felt that his heart had become soft.

After drinking the gruel, the moonlight became stronger.

The countryside is silent and cold under the silver light, but it gives people peace and tranquility.

"Xi'er, you grew up with me?" Wei Renshi asked.

Xi'er nodded: "I've been running behind Lang Jun since I can remember, Lang Jun was naughty when he was a child, running around, and climbing high and low!" ”

"I heard A-Niang say that we are the same size?" Wei Renshi asked again.

"Uh-huh!" Xi'er nodded vigorously.

"Then why are you so stupid?" Wei Renshi rubbed her hair and smiled: "You can keep licking the firewood, let the porridge stay hot, and when I drink it, go to the ice cellar and break two small pieces of ice and throw them in, won't it cool down immediately?" Why do you have to keep adding firewood to the fire and keep it at this temperature? ”

Xi'er thought about it and tilted her head: "Yes! It can still be like this! ”

Wei Renshi laughed again: "I said you are stupid, why don't you refute it?" ”

"Compared to Lang Jun, Xi'er is really stupid!" Xi'er said pitifully.

Wei Renshi rubbed her head again, this girl is really sensible. In later life, her students were older than her, and none of them were necessarily more sensible than her.

In ancient times, it was really too much to treat girls, and last month, the eldest daughter of the old seven families in the same village was only thirteen years old, and she was already married. She's a child herself!

Poor thing!

"Lang Jun eats a steamed cake, you can't stand it if you only drink gruel." Xi'er opened her mouth to persuade.

"Okay!" Wei Renshi nodded, picked up the steamed bun and ate it.

Seeing Wei Renshi obediently eating steamed buns, Xi'er laughed happily again.

On the warm night, Wei Renshi felt that it was these inadvertent little warmth that gave him a sense of belonging in this strange time and space.

In the early morning, it rained, and it was not heavy, but it rained all day until it was almost dark, and then it gradually stopped.

The cold feeling of early autumn came with this drizzle.

There was the sound of horses' hooves and wheels outside the door, and Wei Renshi went out to see that it was really Ma Weilong and Gouer who had returned.

"Meet Xiaolang, fortunately, the letter has been handed over to Master Liu by hand. Mr. Liu also asked us to reply to the letter. Ma Weilong and Gou Er jumped down from the carriage, came to Wei Renshi, and saluted.

Then he took out a letter and handed it to him.

"Thank you two for your hard work, go and rest!" Wei Renshi took the letter and said, "I have asked the craftsman who built the house to build a house for you, right next to the winery. While the work is just starting now, if you have any requests, go over and tell them tomorrow. Uncle Shi and Uncle Changgui have already gone to explain. ”

When the two heard that Wei Renshi actually built a house for them, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly saluted: "Thank you Xiaolang!" ”

"The family doesn't have to talk to each other, let's go eat something and rest!" Wei Renshi smiled and waved his hand.

Behind the back house of the yard, there is a dilapidated horse shed.

I heard Mrs. Tai say that Wei Renshi's Aya also had a horse at home when he was a child, but he couldn't afford to raise it later, so he could only sell it.

But the stables remained, and there were piles of debris underneath. A few days ago, it had been cleaned up by Boss Shi and Zhang Changgui, and they also went to get some forage temporarily, so that they could tie the horse for the time being.

There are steps at the main entrance, so you can't get through, but the carriage can enter through the side door. Wei Renshi sighed, fortunately, this ancestral mansion was not sold by this nerd cheap Aya.

Although they are all dilapidated, they are quite functional.

Wei Renshi never rode a horse in his later life, but he drove a carriage.

There was an old man in the village who was teaching and had a horse and a wagon, and the market was rushing to the town to buy things for his family. Wei Renshi often rubs the carriage and sits on the street, and his ability to attract attention is comparable to that of a luxury car on the road.

I learned to drive a carriage with the old man.

The old man's wife died early, and his children went out to work and never went back. once said that he would give the horse to Wei Renshi when he was old. As a result, Wei Renshi crossed first.

After untying the cart, settling the horse under the shed, and feeding the fodder, Ma Weilong and the second dog left.

Wei Renshi also went back to the study and opened the reply letter that Liu Yuxi asked the two of them to bring back.

"Wei Langjun's personal enlightenment: a certain ...... from returning to Weinan" Liu Yuxi's handwriting was neat and clear, and he told Wei Renshi in detail about the things of damming and silting land and controlling wasteland after he returned to Weinan, and how to solve the difficulties and how to solve them.

He also told Wei Renshi that he had written the method of damming and silting the land and the method of improving the wasteland, and the court's feedback was very good. Now it's just a matter of getting those two things to work. With real and visible results, it will be the time for the imperial court to reward Wei Renshi for his meritorious deeds.

He also said that this plunder is a good thing, and that the coal stove and charcoal to make honeycomb coal will also be tried together.

Wei Renshi closed the letter and put it on the case, thinking about the news he got from Zhang's mouth. The letter that made the emperor Longyan Dayue is estimated to be the method of damming and silting the land and the method of improving the wasteland.

From this point of view, if Liu Yuxi makes achievements in these two things in Weinan in the future, he will definitely be indispensable to the reward of the imperial court. I just don't know how much credit this credit is, and what level of reward it can bring.
