The "good thing" Gao Ming refers to is none other than the finger-sized locust. [Thousand ↑ Thousand △ Small ↓ Say △ Net W xQq ]

Probably because of the warmer weather, there were already a lot of locusts in the fields at this time, and as the children laughed and ran through the fields, the locusts jumped up in shock.

These locusts may have just been corrupted, and their wings have only grown a little, so they can only jump, and Gao Ming easily caught one.

Looking at the locusts that were constantly struggling in his hands, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, casually dragged a grass stalk from the ridge, and then pierced the locust on it.

"That's it!"

Gao Ming grinned, and then handed the stalk of grass dressed in locusts to Li Mingda.

"Come, son, you can help my brother get it first."

"Hmm!"

Li Mingda nodded, took the grass stalk, and then looked curiously at the locusts that were still struggling on it.

Just as she could see her mind, she heard Gao Ming's voice coming.

"Son, come here, I've caught another one, haha!"

When Li Mingda heard this, he immediately ran over with his little short legs, and then watched Gao Ming put the second locust on the grass stem.

Seeing Gao Ming's happy appearance, Li Mingda suddenly asked curiously.

"Big brother, what are you doing catching this locust?"

Hearing her words, Gao Ming immediately smiled "hehe".

"Secret!"

"Humph!"

Li Mingda pouted, and he decided to ignore Gao Ming.

But her insistence was soon broken, and when a locust jumped up from the field, she screamed smartly.

"Big brother, big brother, look, there's one there!"

"Haha, here it is!"

Gao Ming laughed, and then rushed over in three or two steps to catch the locusts, still wearing them on the grass stalks, Li Mingda suddenly laughed happily.

In this way, Li Mingda otherwise looked for the traces of locusts, while Gao Ming was responsible for the arrest, and after a while, the brother and sister caught twenty or thirty locusts, dressed them in four or five strings and carried them in Li Mingda's hands.

The actions of the brother and sister Gao Ming and Li Mingda quickly attracted the attention of others, and several farmers who were working in the fields immediately began to discuss.

"Which kid are those two who are catching locusts?"

"I don't know, but I look at the clothes that should be the children of the official family, and I saw them talking to the eldest grandson just now?"

"So that's the case, but he's such a big man, and he came to the field to catch locusts, this official kid is really not doing his job."

"It's just ......"

A few adults were chatting with each other, laughing from time to time, but they didn't notice that the children who had sown seeds behind them had quietly put down their farm tools and ran. 【千△千△小△說△網Ww W.xQqX 】

At this time, Gao Ming, who was concentrating on catching locusts, suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Uncle, are you the son of an official family who didn't do his job as my father said?"

"Uh......"

Looking at the eight or nine-year-old child in front of him, Gao Ming was suddenly a little speechless.

When he was so old, he followed his parents out to farm, and compared with him, his guy who took his sister to catch locusts was indeed "a child of an official family who did not do his job"!

Thinking of this, Gao Ming also nodded with a wry smile.

"That's right, I'm the official kid your father said he didn't do his job."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the child immediately became happy.

"Uncle, I'll help you catch locusts, can you help me farm? I've caught it so fast! ”

But it's a pity that Gao Ming doesn't know how to farm, so he can only refuse helplessly.

"I'm sorry, little friend, uncle doesn't know how to farm!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the child suddenly showed a look of disappointment, and from time to time he glanced at Li Mingda, who was carrying locusts.

It is a child's nature to play, and Gao Ming can see that he really wants to catch locusts.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming's heart flashed a trace of unbearability, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly came up with an idea.

"Little friend, although I don't know how to farm, I also want you to help me catch locusts, so let's do it, if you help me catch ten locusts, I'll give you a penny, okay?"

Gao Ming's price is not low, because now a bucket of rice is only four or five yuan.

One bucket of Datang is about twelve catties in later generations, that is to say, one penny can buy three catties of rice!

There is no doubt that in the Zhenguan period, a penny is very valuable, not only Gao Ming knows, but even the children in the field also know, so after hearing Gao Ming's words, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Ten locusts for a penny?"

Looking at his surprised look, Gao Ming suddenly smiled and nodded.

"That's right, ten locusts for a penny, one hand for the locusts and one for the other!"

As soon as the child heard Gao Ming's words, he turned around without saying a word and went to catch locusts, and he quickly caught ten locusts and put them in a bunch, and then sent them to Gao Ming.

"Uncle, give, locust!"

Looking at his expectant look, Gao Ming suddenly smiled slightly, first took the locust in his hand, and then took out a penny from his money bag and put it in his hand.

"Give, penny!"

When the child saw the penny in his palm, he immediately cheered and turned to run, seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately smiled and shook his head.

"Datang's children are really easy to satisfy!"

Soon, Gao Ming knew that he was wrong, because after a while, the child came over with a few adults, and then pointed at Gao Ming and shouted.

"Dad, it's the money given to me by the uncle who doesn't do his job, ten locusts for a penny!"

“……”

Hearing his words, Gao Ming realized that he was wrong just now, this kid was not satisfied with a penny, but went back to ask someone to make money together!

"Is this going to take Lao Tzu as a wronged man?"

As Gao Ming thought, as soon as the child's words fell, his father came over with a smile.

"Uh...... This nobleman, I also want to help you catch locusts, do you think it's okay? ”

After all, he was an honest man, and his face turned red as soon as he finished speaking, and he seemed embarrassed by his "flickering" behavior.

Several people were a little nervous, on the one hand they felt that it was not good to do this, but on the other hand they really wanted to make some extra money.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Gao Ming immediately smiled.

"Okay, I promised!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, everyone immediately cheered, and then ran to the field to catch locusts, and for a while, the shouts of the people and the frolicking of children were connected, and the whole field suddenly became lively.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately laughed.

"To make them so happy, it seems that my wronged head is not in vain!"

For Gao Ming, this amount of money is really nothing, when he took Li Mingda to visit Chang'an Street, he spent more than 200 yuan a day, in contrast, it can make these people happy after work, and it doesn't matter if they have a little money.

In the evening, when Gao Ming announced that he was leaving, the people who caught locusts were still unsatisfied, and then came over with locusts to settle the settlement.

These locusts were strung into a string of ten by them, so it was also very convenient for Gao Ming to settle the accounts, and in less than a stick of incense, all the people's accounts were settled.

The people who got the money were very happy, and in order to make it easier for Gao Ming to take away these locusts, someone also gave him a bamboo basket, and asked him when he would come to collect the locusts again, which made Gao Ming a little crying and laughing.

It's not enough for Lao Tzu to be the head of the wrongs for a day, and you plan to let me be the boss every day?

However, in order not to disappoint everyone, Gao Ming could only be vague.

"I'll come back when I have time!"

After speaking, Gao Ming carried a basket of locusts on his back, and then took Li Mingda's hand and went back.

When Gao Ming returned to the palace, it was almost dark, and as soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw the servant and the sword standing at the door, and when he saw the two of them looking nervous, Gao Ming suddenly laughed.

"You two are not staying in the East Palace, what are you doing here?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, the two hurriedly saluted him, and then got up and replied, "The crown princess is worried about His Royal Highness, so let us come here to wait for His Royal Highness." ”

After speaking, the two came over to help Gao Ming take down the bamboo basket behind him, but when they saw the dense locusts inside, they immediately screamed in unison.

"Ah...... Locust! ”

The two of them screamed in surprise and retreated again and again, looking at their frightened looks, Gao Ming suddenly shook his head helplessly.

"Isn't it just locusts, what's so scary, yes, I'm still carrying this bamboo basket myself!"

The small half basket of locusts in the bamboo basket looked like a lot, but in fact it was not heavy, Gao Ming lifted it up with one hand and carried it on his back, and then took Li Mingda's hand and walked towards the East Palace.

Seeing Gao Ming gone, the waiter walked beside him with a lantern to illuminate him, while the waiter ran back to the East Palace to report first.

When Gao Ming returned to the East Palace, Su Wan'er was already waiting at the door of the East Palace, and when she saw Gao Ming coming back with a bamboo basket on her back, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you're back, dinner is ready, do you want to bathe and change clothes first, or eat first?"

Looking at her gentle appearance, Gao Ming couldn't help but laugh and raised his eyebrows at her.

"I want to eat you first!"

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Wan'er's face suddenly turned red, and she glanced at Gao Ming with all kinds of amorous feelings.

"Your Highness is not serious again, let's take a bath first, what do you have in this bamboo basket?"

As she spoke, Su Wan'er came over to pick up the bamboo basket on Gao Ming's back, but as soon as her hand reached over, Gao Ming stopped her.

"Don't move, I'm afraid I'll scare you!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er immediately laughed.

"Lang Jun underestimated the concubine too much, and the concubine was not as timid as Lang Jun imagined."

After speaking, Su Wan'er generously took down the smart bamboo basket, but when she saw the dense locusts in the bamboo basket, she suddenly showed a look of horror.

"This ...... It's ......"

Gao Ming had already guessed this, and hurriedly took the bamboo basket from her hand and put it aside, and then gently stroked Su Wan'er's back.

"It's scared to make your mouth hard, isn't it?"

Being comforted by Gao Ming like this, the horror on Su Wan'er's face faded slightly, and then she asked Gao Ming with some curiosity.

"Your Highness, what are you doing with so many locusts?"

Hearing her words, Gao Ming immediately smiled.

"What can I do? Eat, of course! ”

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Su Wan'er suddenly gasped.

"Hiss......"
