Chapter 20: The Peasant Feast 1

This horse is very tall, with wide shoulder blades and large hooves, which is a standard Yunnan horse, which is very suitable for the mountainous type of Fuzhou to gallop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately carrying a bow and arrows and a long knife, there was also a mark on it of the military household guard, and it was immediately obvious that it was a soldier's belongings.

The young man in front of the horse touched the horse's face, then took off his bow and arrows and his long knife, and walked towards the house with the long knife and the bow and arrow on his back.

This young Gao Zhong also knew him, and he was Gao Liangquan's grandson, Gao Shangwu. He is slightly younger than Gao Zhong by one or two months, his body is relatively strong, and he is slightly taller than Gao Zhong.

"Brother Gao Shangwu, I'll help you!"

Gao Zhong stepped forward and said to Gao Quanwu.

Gao Shangwu nodded, and then handed the long knife in his hand to Gao Zhong.

The long knife is a long knife unique to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, with a wide blade, and Gao Zhong even felt a little heavy when holding it.

The two of them put their weapons in the hall and handed them to Gao Yuquan.

Gao Lianquan continued to talk to Gao Wei, he just glanced at the matter of weapons, and didn't care. And after Gao Shangwu entered the house, he sat behind Gao Lianquan without a look, sitting motionless, stunned.

Gao Zhong saw that Gao Shangwu was not like an ordinary child, so he did not stop in the hall, turned around and entered his house, and continued to write with a brush.

Because he bought a new sheep's hair, Gao Zhong naturally no longer used wolf's hair, but happily began to use sheep's hair.

Sure enough, the feeling of the sheep in the hand is much worse, and Gao Zhong found a difference in the feel, but this feeling is also easier to serve, that is, more practice.

Gao Zhong was naturally not so luxurious as to use ink blocks to write, he still dipped water in a bowl and wrote the words on a wooden board.

"Gao Zhongmeng has learned?"

Gao Zhong practiced for a while, and a wooden board had been written by him, and it was all neatly written, neat and neat.

At this time, Gao Lianquan's voice came into Gao Zhong's ears: "That Zhou Sheng is also good, at least I know that let Gao Zhong study, my conscience is not completely broken, and it is not a loss to give them those few acres of land!" ”

"Zhong Wazi didn't go to the township school, my sister made it clear that Gao Zhong was not allowed to enter the school to study......"

At this time, Gao Qiao'er walked out of the kitchen angrily and said to Gao Lianquan.

"Don't you? So how did Gao Zhong learn the words, isn't that Zhou Sheng the only one in the village who is a showman? ”

Gao Jian was completely stunned at this time, and looked at Gao Wei and Gao Qiao'er curiously, it is very difficult for the village to find a literate person, especially to find a person who can let the child read.

"It's Wenqu Xing, Gao Zhong has been reading with Wenqu Xing these days. It is estimated that Wen Quxing watched Gao Zhong and was fond of learning, and he taught him a lot of things on weekdays, and this kid was also angry, and he also learned a lot of knowledge......"

Gao Qiao'er wiped her tears, and now there are many misfortunes in the family, but fortunately, Gao Zhong's child is competitive and smart.

If it is a different family, or if there is no reading talent shown by Gao Zhong, I am afraid that this family will already be decadent.

Hearing this, Gao Lianquan sighed: "My eldest brother is really old, and his old eyes are dizzy. ”

After speaking, he retreated to the hall, and Gao Shangwu looked at Gao Zhong curiously, but then followed Gao Jian Quan back to the hall.

Although Gao Lianquan was extremely dissatisfied with what his eldest brother had done, after all, the people of their previous generation had already broken up, and it was difficult to say anything.

I could only sigh, said a few things that my eldest brother was wrong, and then comforted Gao Qiao'er and his family.

……

The next day, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Today, the whole village has become lively, most of the people in the village are gathered in groups of three or five, and the farm work in the fields is also put aside, which is a rare rest time for the farmers.

Early in the morning, Gao Wei and Gao Qiaoer also got up early, went to the field to pick some fresh vegetables, and began to prepare today's meal.

Gao Zhong also got up early, and then took out a wooden board and a brush in the courtyard and began to write.

However, today Gao Zhong found out that Gao Lianquan and Gao Shangwu got up earlier, and the two of them squatted in the courtyard and began to practice.

In this way, early in the morning, no one in the Gao family's old house affected anyone, and they were busy with their own things, and when it was close to noon, Gao Zhong said that the brush was carefully put away, and he went to the kitchen to see what he could help.

Gao Wei and Gao Qiao'er are both very hardworking people, and all the things that should be prepared yesterday have been prepared, so now all they have to do is cook and cook, which is very easy.

When the meal was about to start, Zhou Sheng and his family arrived slowly.

Old Man Gao and Gao led Zhou An to the old mansion with a smile, followed by Zhou Sheng who was holding a folding fan, and Zhou who was wearing a silk Luo.

Old Man Gao and Gao are all wearing new clothes now, and they are also looking oily, obviously living a good life.

In short, this family looks like a successful person, and they walk with a high spirit.

Old Man Gao walked into the hall with his head held high, and then walked directly to the dining table and took the main seat: "Gao Qiao'er, why don't you serve the food yet?" ”

"Yes, Qiao'er, why are you slacking off like this now?"

Gao was also on the side to help.

Hearing that Old Man Gao and the Gao family said like this, Gao Qiao'er's face changed, and tears almost fell.

It doesn't matter if my father and mother didn't come to help earlier, but after they arrived, they looked like the master had summoned their subordinates.

Zhou Sheng and Zhou sat in the guest seats, did not speak, but looked at everything in front of them with a smile on their faces, as if watching a play.

"Grandpa, grandma, I want to eat meat, eat meat!"

Zhou An just sat down, the first thing to do was to express his thoughts, A-Niang said that he was going to eat meat today, and he was not willing to go back empty-handed.

"Alas," at this time, Zhou gently patted Zhou An's shoulder, and then said loudly: "An Wazi, don't scream, your younger brother's family is poor, let's just eat some today!" ”

Then Zhou laughed proudly.

Gao Zhong didn't like his aunt's family very much, and he was upset when he looked at it, especially Zhou Sheng, this guy was the mastermind behind pushing the previous Zhou Sheng down the ditch, and he still wanted to find this Zhou Sheng for revenge.

Moreover, the virtue of Old Man Gao and Gao's bullying of the poor also made Gao Zhong feel uncomfortable, how could anyone hate the poor and love the rich to this extent.

However, Gao Zhong still respectfully walked up to Old Man Gao and them, and greeted them: "Grandpa, grandma." Hello aunt, aunt! Brother Ann is so ......"
