Two days later, a eunuch-like chamberlain led a team of more than 20 people to Kamigawa Bay with rewards.

When Xiao Zheng and the others greeted him, they saw that Sun Fujia was also mixed in the middle of the team, and the people in the small village heard that the county magistrate and the chamberlain came from Chang'an City with the holy decree, and immediately boiled. Xiao Zheng didn't feel anything, but Lao Wang and the old people turned red with excitement, and loudly arranged for the descendants in the village to arrange for the incense table.

Seeing that Xiao Hai and several people arrived, after kneeling down according to the rules of burning incense, the chamberlain opened the holy decree and read: "The emperor said: Xiao Zheng, Xiao Hai, and Gong Ruoyi showed loyalty and courage in the battle of Luoyang, and also had a meritorious service in saving the princess. ”

After reading out the holy decree and letting Sun Fujia into the main hall, Master Sun spoke directly at the wealth of the two Zhuangzi, and at the same time said that he would come to these two Zhuangzi more times in the future, in short, he should learn from the advanced rural construction and management experience of Xiao Hai and Xiao Zheng and others, and in the future, he should often come and go to promote the relationship between the government and the people.

Xiao Hai pulled the waiter aside, two boxes of gold oil, and a heavy small package was handed over. This eunuch originally thought that the remote village in Yushan County was a poor and remote place, but he didn't expect to receive so much oil and water this time, and the folds on his face opened with a smile.

Xiao Zheng and the others knew Master Sun's temper, and Lao Zhang Shun handed a basket full of eggs, two cans of pickles and a jar of liquor forward, and Master Sun also accepted it with a smile. When Xiao Zheng saw the waiter, Xiao Zheng bowed respectfully, and then asked the waiter with a smile, "What is your father-in-law's surname?" ”。

This eunuch was only about thirty years old, and he had a long white face and no need to be tall, but he did not have that kind of sharp voice when he spoke. Seeing that Xiao Zheng knew how to count etiquette, this person also felt very useful, smiled and waved his hand and replied: "In Xia Li Shiyu, this time the sage sent a slave and maid to give a few orders, I thought that a few of them were just ordinary villagers, but I didn't expect that this was a mountain and a unicorn buried in the wilderness, and the slave and maid were clumsy."

After drinking two cups of chilled sour plum soup, after chatting a few words, the eunuch was ready to leave, and when he went out of the door, he saw that the dozen or so people who accompanied him also received a reward, and after thanking Xiao Zheng, the group left the village happily.

Ten cows, 100 yuan of money, no one looked at the money, and Lao Wang's whole group of people laughed happily around the cows.

"Is this the decree? Except for the better writing on a piece of yellow cloth and the better mounting, I don't think it's anything," Xiao Zheng casually threw the holy decree on the kang and said.

"Look at what you said, this is something given by the emperor, which was exchanged for your life by Fujun and Brother Xiao. Ordinary officials may not be able to receive the decree in their homes, so I will put him in front of the portrait of Aya, so that his old man will be happy and happy" After Jin'er finished speaking, she carefully rolled up the decree and took it out.

In Luoyang City, Lou Changqing, who was over sixty years old, sat in the hall and sighed constantly. The Lou family has been entrenched in Luoyang for a hundred years as a prominent family that arose from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, although it is not dared to say that it is one of the best in Luoyang City, but the Lou family still occupies a place among the wealthy families in Luoyang City. Luoyang City has been war-torn over the years, but the heritage of the big family still exists.

As the patriarch of the Lou family, Lou Changqing is now worried about the issue of family inheritance, although his eldest son Lou Jingtang is praised by outsiders for his moral character, but he has no children under his knees, how to pass it on to his eldest son without heirs, and how to serve the public.

Of his five sons, except for the eldest son, the other four sons are all prosperous, but from Lou Changqing's point of view, all of the more than a dozen grandsons who can be cultivated as follow-up family inheritors are not qualified. When he was worried, the eldest son Lou Jingtang walked in and saw Lou Changqing kneeling on the ground without saying a word.

"What?" Seeing his eldest son like this, Lou Changqing asked curiously.

"The child asked Aya for sin, when the child went to Chang'an ten years ago to do business, he lived with a singer for a few months, and then the singer gave birth to a son, the child was afraid of his father's punishment, so he fostered the mother and son in Yushan County's distant cousin Zhuangzi, who is now twelve years old, and the child has not told anyone about it, and now asks his father to ask for guilt", Lou Jingtang put his head on the ground and didn't dare to move.

"You rebel! ......." Lou Changqing got up and pointed at Lou Jingtang, who was angry for a while.

"Are you sure it's your baby?" After pondering for a while, Lou Changqing asked.

"Sure!" Lou Jingtang said as he lay on the ground.

"Bastard, then you hurry up and pick up their mother and son, hurry! You go in person, and you go right away."

Lou Jingtang answered, and hurriedly got up and went out to prepare.

As soon as the mango is planted, the sun will be bigger, and walking on the road is like a fire, and the bluestone pavement is hot. Lao Zhang Shun led more than 100 strong laborers in two villages to be busy, and the wheat fields were yellow and golden, and the growth was exceptionally good. When many plants were roasted and dried by the scorching sun, only the wheat patches were like bright soldiers pointing to the sky, and the golden waves were rolling after the breeze.

The wasteland that has just been opened up has only been a year, and the fertilizer has been applied enough, and when one acre is cut, three hundred catties! That's more than all the grain in a good field. Grab the wheat in autumn, the wheat harvest is the busiest time of the year, more than 300 acres of wheat according to Mr. Xiao's meaning to harvest the long ears and strong grains all over the ground to make next year's seeds, and the rest of the harvest quickly.

In the future, you can listen to Mr. Xiao for farming, and even the saints praise the characters, if you don't listen to him, my old man will not do it. When the wheat grains are put in their pockets, it makes people feel as if they see the steaming white buns and the soup cakes with oil flowers floating on them, and they feel full of energy.

Wheat harvested into the warehouse, Xiao Zheng let people kill two pigs raised in the spring, put two cauldrons on the square by the river, a board, Xiao Zheng personally chef made seven or eight dishes, at night the newly ground flour steamed steamed buns out of the cage drawer, sandwiched with oily pork belly, bite down that called a fragrant, and then drink two sips of wine, then everyone found that the original impression of lowly pork is so delicious! The bonfire was lit and it was another fun evening.

At noon the next day, seeing the babies cheering and grabbing steamed buns when they were eating, Xiao Zheng was also happy to look at it. "These children are all tossed like this, and you don't care if you are the master," Jin'er complained while helping the children scoop vegetables.

"This is what a child looks like, everyone is in charge like a little old man, so what is the interest of life, a child should be like a child," Xiao Zheng said with half a steamed bun in his hand and a bite of the broth.

When the two were talking, they saw a carriage from a distance, Xiao Zheng thought it was coming to see a doctor, but he didn't expect Lou's mother to come over with a man in his thirties. After Lou's mother brought the man over, she met with Xiao's mother and the husband and wife, and then realized that Lou Shide's father was here.

Lou Jingtang felt that his brain was a little insufficient since he entered Li Zhuang, and the degree of wealth in this village was far better than that of Luoyang middle families. After seeing Lou Fan's family, he found that there was not much change, and the imaginary scene of mother and son living alone did not appear, and his son must have lived no better.

When I met Lou Shide, I found that a gentleman younger than myself taught a group of children to read and write, which made Lou Jingtang feel a little more grateful to Lou Fan's guilt.

Seeing Xiao Zheng, a young man a few years younger than himself, Lou Jingtang despised this young gentleman a little in his heart, but the upbringing of the big family made him politely greet Xiao Zheng, and at the same time solemnly thanked Xiao Zheng for his kindness in teaching Lou Shide.

Waiting for Lou Jingtang to explain his intentions, Xiao's mother and Jin'er's eyes were a little red when they heard it, and Xiao's mother went back to the kitchen and hid aside to wipe her tears.

"Don't go! I'm not going anywhere! I'm here, I don't have a father, this is my home, it's enough for me to have a master" Lou Shide angrily threw down his chopsticks, opened his mouth and bit the steamed bun fiercely, but tears flowed down.

"Shide, my mother also knows that you are reluctant to let your master and these classmates in your heart, and I am reluctant to leave here with my fellow villagers. Your father hasn't come to see us all these years, he has his suffering, but you also have to think about it, Aya took you here to take you back to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors......" Lou's mother squatted down and wiped her tears for Lou Shide with her sleeve and said.

Xiao Zheng sat next to Lou Shide and patted him on the back and said: "Don't make your little temperament again, it will also be good for you to return to Luoyang this time, besides, Luoyang is not far from Chang'an, Master can go to see you when he is free, a manly husband must be responsible, and you will leave Master sooner or later in the future, don't keep crying and crying, obedient."

Lou Shide suddenly hugged Xiao Zheng's arm and cried, and said convulsively: "But the apprentice is reluctant to let go of the master and classmates, I don't want to go, wow........"

Xiao Zheng helped to sort out Lou Shide's schoolbag, Xiao's mother and Jin'er filled Lou Shide with a basket full of freshly steamed steamed buns, and told Lou's mother to take care of this little guy.

It took a long time to persuade Lou Shide to get into the car, but Xiao Changning suddenly ran over and grabbed the back of the carriage, crying and shouting not to let Brother Shide go, this time all the babies behind him were brought over, and a group ......of babies pulled the carriage and didn't let them go, Xiao's mother, Lou's mother and Jin'er had already cried into tears.

It wasn't until the carriage drove out a long way that people saw Lou Shide waving to everyone again.

Mother Xiao looked at the carriage in the distance and wiped the corners of her eyes and said: "Alas, I think this baby is annoying on weekdays, and I wish he was far away, how can this really go as if I took off my mother's heart."

"Hmm!" Jin'er also responded with affection.

Xiao Zheng looked at the direction of the carriage and felt empty in his heart, and said to the children with a sigh of depression in his chest: "There will be no class today, everyone will play first, and play freely."
