Chapter 18: The Cuckold King

Wu Yuanqing was talking to the steward while quickly making preparations. The pen and the fun pavilion www.biquge.info stunned the stewards, when will their little grandfather do this.

Ignoring the stunned steward, let Wu Yuanshuang lead the mule in front of him to walk in a straight line, and Wu Yuanqing supported the plow behind. The people in the village here have already ploughed and leveled it with a rake a few days ago. But I used a straight plough, which could not be ploughed deeper, and there was no good loose soil. That's why Wu Yuanqing had to use the Quyuan plow to do it again.

This is mainly to make him more proficient in preparing for the cultivation of corn and potatoes at home. Wu Yuanqing's land is not big, less than an hour, that is, less than two hours, he ploughed it again, and then replaced it with a new rake and leveled the ground, and directly replaced it with a cocoon after leveling.

Today, we are going to plant millet, so we need to use a columon, which is generally planted with small things, such as wheat, millet, sorghum, and millet. However, it seems that in ancient China, the things that could be grown as food were also small things. In later generations, only potatoes were basically sown by hand, and many corns were also sown on demand, I don't know if it was because the shape of the corn was not round enough.

Speaking of this car, I have to say that the wisdom of the ancient Chinese ancestors, you must know that in the West and Europe, there was no seed drill in the 16th century, and China has a record of this kind of thing in the second century BC, China's sowing system is more than ten times more efficient than Europe, and the harvest yield is 30 times higher than that of Europe. At that time, China was the only developed country, and the rest could only be regarded as developing countries, and they were all very backward developing countries. This is also the reason why China has been at the top of the world in the agrarian society for thousands of years.

Wu Yuanqing was shaking the car and planting the grain happily, when he heard a loud shout in the distance, and there were quite a few people. After a while, the person sent to check on ran back, panting and shouting, "Oh no, young master, there is someone making trouble over there."

"Trouble, what's going on" Wu Yuanqing shouted to stop his younger brother Wu Yuanshuang, took the cloth handed over by the next person, wiped his sweat, and asked.

"It is Wen Ting, the second son of the Chinese scholar Wen Yan Bowen's family, half an hour ago, he took people to the land of Uncle Liu Shishi's Uncle Liu's house, and saw that Uncle Liu's Quyuan plow was different from others, so he asked where it came from, Uncle Liu said that it was invented by the eldest young master, and it was better than the straight plow."

Wu Yuanqing interrupted him and said, "Why did Wen Ting run to our house, could it be that he came out for a spring outing."

The man hurriedly replied: "I don't know about this little one, but the Wen family's courtyard is next to our Zhuangzi, and occasionally their family will also be the owner of the courtyard for two days."

"Oh, that's it, then I know, okay, you can go on."

"Oh, okay eldest young master, when Uncle Liu finished speaking, the second son of the Wen family suddenly became very angry, saying that the young master was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains, and if he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it before, he would be ruined by himself, but now he is messing around on the major affairs of agriculture and mulberry, and he has used countless years to improve the direct plough of the ancestors, and he takes himself too seriously and is too self-aware." While speaking, this subordinate also secretly looked at Wu Yuanqing's face, for fear that his retelling would anger the eldest young master.

Wu Yuanqing was not angry, he would not be angry with irrelevant people, he was just curious, this Wen Ting and himself should be regarded as a completely irrelevant person who has no grudges, why should he scold himself.

When Wu Yuanqing was thinking, the subordinate's narration continued: "Later, Uncle Liu argued, saying that the plow made by the young master was very convenient, and it was indeed better than the previous plow. As a result, Wen Ergongzi grabbed this sentence and had to bet with Uncle Liu that whoever plows an acre of land first will win. Whoever wins gets an acre of paddy field. Uncle Liu was unwilling, so Wen Ergongzi raised the stakes and said that if he lost, he would lose to Uncle Liu ten acres of paddy fields, and if Uncle Liu lost, he only needed to lose one acre of paddy fields. As a result, Uncle Liu was obsessed with money, and he didn't resist the temptation, so he agreed. Then the second son of Wen also asked people to write a deed and press the handprint. As a result, Uncle Liu lost the competition. ”

"Oh, if you lose, then if you lose, you will lose an acre of paddy field, I am willing to gamble and lose, why make trouble" Wu Yuanqing said disapprerovingly. He doesn't like gambling people, even if it's because of himself, maybe it's the shadow caused by his parents playing mahjong when he was a child.

In his previous life, when he was young, his parents were very keen on playing mahjong, and they were busy playing during the day and all night at night. When he came home from school in the afternoon, there was no one at home, so he went to his mother's mahjong man's house and waited, urging, and his mother coaxed him to go back after playing a round. At that time, I didn't understand, I stupidly thought that this circle was four people and one person had a round that was four times and it was over, who knew that this so-called circle was to one of them lose the poker of this game before it was finished, that is, their local words collapsed. As a result, he waited for an hour or two, and often waited and fell asleep on his stomach next to someone's bed.

What's more, his sister was just a few months old at the time, and he was woken up at about ten o'clock one night. I saw that my grandmother was opening the door and going out, and their house was a courtyard house in the north. He slept in the same room with his grandmother. Then he was still dazed, and he heard his grandmother's shouting, and when he got up and went out, he heard his sister's crying from the next room. But they couldn't get in, the door was locked, and neither of them had a key. And his parents were not at home, the gate of the yard was also locked from the outside, and his grandmother said that the two of them must have gone out to play mahjong. But my sister couldn't cry and crawled away on the bed.

Worried that his sister would fall out of bed, his grandmother asked him to go over the wall and go to the house where his mother often went to play mahjong. At that time, he was only seven years old, and he was very timid, and he never dared to go out again when he got home from school, even if it was still dawn. Even if his grandmother asked him to go out and close the door, he didn't dare to go out, and at night from the house where his grandmother lived to the house where his parents lived, a total of only ten meters, he didn't dare to cross, and someone had to watch, and he had to shout all the way to his parents before he dared to run over in a hurry.

Such a timid person, for the sake of his sister, mustered up the courage, went out over the wall at ten o'clock in the evening, and looked for his parents alone in the dark, although in the end he bravely went out to find his parents, but from then on he hated gambling. So he never plays money with others, usually doesn't play one or two cards with people all year round, and what he knows is the easiest. Many times when people ask him to play, he says that he can't be taught by others, and he will never learn. Even if you play cards with your family, they are all joking, sometimes a dime, sometimes a piece, and the money won is given to the children to buy food, and sometimes they directly grab a handful of corn as a lottery to play.

"Originally, Uncle Liu said that he would give the deed of one acre of paddy field at home to Second Young Master Wen, but who knew that Second Young Master Wen said that Uncle Liu lost to him ten acres of paddy field instead of one acre. Uncle Liu said that Second Young Master Wen was blackmailing, and what was written on the deed was obviously one acre, but how did it become ten acres, but Second Young Master Wen added a sum to the deed in front of Uncle Liu, and one acre became ten acres, and said that this was fair. Uncle Liu was not convinced and said that he was bullying people and wanted to sue the official, but the second young master Wen said that he was bullying people, and the deed was written in black and white, even if he reported to the official, what could he do to him. The eldest young master, this second young master of the Wen family is too much, this clearly doesn't take our family seriously," the subordinate said angrily.

Wu Yuanqing was also angry, Wen Yanbo is also a central giant, one of the future prime ministers, and his son actually did such a tasteless thing: "Ha, it is indeed too much to dare to play a scoundrel, go over and look at this green hat king."

"The eldest young master, the second young master Wen has not yet married, why do you call him the cuckold king" The subordinate asked puzzled.

Wu Yuanqing laughed and said: "If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future, the young master gave him the green hat in advance, even if I draw a circle and curse him."

The subordinate touched the back of his head, looking dazed, what the young master said was so profound, I don't understand.
