Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also knew that they couldn't retaliate right now, so they could only wait for the opportunity, no longer pay attention to those two people, and looked at the road that seemed to be far away, and followed Li Xun's side.

"Gongzi Li, when it comes to resting at night in a while, there are still some things to discuss with Gongzi." After walking out for more than 100 steps, Zhang Xiaobao thought of cooperation and said a word to Li Xun.

Li Xun picked this path, just to not delay the people on the road, there are already people in front of the road to check if there is any danger, usually no pedestrians come, but on the road to turn over two small mountain bags, said to be mountains, that is, dirt bags, there are a few trees on it, there are no cliffs.

If you go further today, you will get there, and it will take a lot of time to go over the mountain, Zhang Xiaobao spoke, and sped up a little, according to his calculations, at night, most people will rest on the mountain.

He and Wang Juan didn't speak, Li Xun and several people around him also hurried away, but Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi in the back couldn't be silent, and the two of them stayed a little away from the team and got together to discuss things.

"Brother Xingyi, I can't figure it out, why were the three of them caught? Will you give me a confession when you say then? Han Yongyao rubbed his hands anxiously, hoping to get something from Yuan Xingyi's mouth that could comfort him.

Yuan Xingyi was also worried, hearing this, he clicked his mouth twice, "Yes, those government officials have a good way of doing it, I'm not afraid of this, I asked it, let's not admit it, what can they do, we are not from Sanshui County, they still dare to go there to arrest people?" ”

"Is that all right?" Han Yongyao was overjoyed.

"Alright? It's a big deal, Zhang Wang and the two Zhuangzi will remember us, and if they don't get it, they will make it bad for the two of us, no, I have to arrange for someone to go back and tell it, and let people watch more at night. ”

Yuan Xingyi said and spoke, suddenly thought of this, and regardless of Han Yongyao asking Zhang Wang and the two Zhuangzi how they would retaliate, he hurriedly found the nursing home that accompanied him, and waited for the person to take the order to go back, then he let out a sigh of relief, looked at Han Yongyao, who had just asked people to go back and report the news, and said:

"It's good now, in the future, I will have more contact with Li Gongzi and send some benefits, so that Li Gongzi will not help them then, I think Li Gongzi is not bad to Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi, and I don't know why I don't want to buy a restaurant and Zhuangzi, and I have the opportunity to pick up this matter."

As he spoke, perhaps because he felt that his idea was good, Yuan Xingyi laughed again, and Han Yongyao nodded violently while listening to it, feeling that this method was really good.

"When I was eating for a while, I gave the good things I brought in my bag to Li Gongzi to eat." Han Yongyao thought of such a way to get close and curry favor.

Yuan Xingyi shook his head, "It's not proper, Li Gongzi is here to get something this time, you give him your food, he won't eat it, he wants to feel the details of this wild survival, if he really gives something, he will be angry." ”

"What Brother Xingyi said is that I was negligent, well, don't give it." Han Yongyao felt that he was much worse than Yuan Xingyi, and he was even more grateful, and learned to imitate it.

Li Xun hurried the way, looked up at the sky from time to time, felt that it was too dark today, he had been thinking about what Zhang Xiaobao said that there was something to discuss, in his opinion, it was not Zhang Xiaobao who had something to say to him, it was the master of the Zhang family Zhuangzi who passed the word through Zhang Xiaobao's mouth.

In the torment of this mood, the sky finally slowly darkened, and they also walked to the place of the second hill, and when the round sun like an egg yolk watched the setting of the mountain, the procession stopped, and the people who were hurrying in front of them had already taken out something and began to eat.

Li Xun and these people also began to take things to eat, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took out the things, and after several people saw it, they were all surprised, and Li Xun was also a little puzzled.

He thought that Zhang Xiaobao and the others would take out the same fried noodles as him, but he didn't expect that what the two of them took out of their backpacks was raw rice.

"Xiaobao, you are going to ......." Li Xun asked, pointing to the raw rice.

"Cooking, it's evening, Juan Juan and I ate some snacks at noon, and if we don't eat again, we will be hungry." Zhang Xiaobao looked like a matter of course.

Two people took out a small pot, and put the bowl in the pot, one was the same as a big spoon, and the other was the same as steamed, but it was much smaller.

Wang Juan was in charge of adding water and steaming rice, Zhang Xiaobao dug a pit to collect firewood, and a small foldable three-legged supporting iron ring was put on the fire.

When the rice was steaming, the two of them took out the radish and beef that had already been cut, put it in another pot, poured some oil, and stir-fried the pot with chopped green onions, and the beef stewed radish was ready.

Everyone looked stupid, they were still in the mood to cook at this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took out two big goose eggs in the surprised eyes of everyone, and the two of them actually put the goose eggs in their backpacks.

"Xiaobao, let's eat one, let's have two of us and one is enough." Wang Juan looked at the goose egg in his hand, then at Zhang Xiaobao's, and said.

"Okay, just eat one." Zhang Xiaobao put his own back, took out the iron set of the largest bowl, lit a bunch of fire, put oil in the bowl, Wang Juan came over and knocked the goose egg on the edge of the bowl, and with a 'bang', the egg white and egg yolk inside went into the bowl.

"Raw?" Several people spoke at the same time, thinking that it was salty and cooked, but they didn't expect it to be raw.

Li Xun watched from the side, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan not bring food that was convenient to carry? Running to this road, in this way, there are fewer things in the backpack, I can't help but be curious, and ask:

"Xiaobao, do you have any doorways for the things you are carrying?"

"Doorway? No, Juan Juan and I came too quickly, from Xiao Luoshui, how could there be other things prepared, so we could only bring some with us, and eat beef stewed radish together for a while? There is my family's special seasoning in it, and I like to dip this beef in garlic sauce the most, and Juan Juan is unwilling. ”

Zhang Xiaobao explained to Li Xun that in fact, he and Wang Juan came here to find trouble with Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi, and it was not a real survival in the wild, so enjoy it if you can.

Li Xun naturally didn't believe it, would there be nothing in Xiao Luoshui? Seeing Zhang Xiaobao say this, he could only keep the words in his heart, what should he do when the two of them ran out of food when they saw it? Do you want to eat that stuff all day long?

The dishes are stewed in the pot, and Zhang Xiaobao's thirteen incense is put in it, and the fragrance will float everywhere after a while, and the rice fragrance is the same, so that those who can only eat fried noodles or cooked food secretly swallow their saliva, even if they drink a mouthful of stewed soup.

Li Xun thought about it, and finally decided to eat something from Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said, "Give me some in a while, just eat less meat and more soup, you can't eat the rice, right?" Get me some, I'll soak it in the soup and eat it, you ...... Cucumber? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaobao took out two cucumbers from his bag, buckled an iron bowl, pulled out a smaller kitchen knife, and slapped it there, and Wang Juan handed over a few cloves of garlic.

Hearing Li Xun's words, Zhang Xiaobao kept moving his hands and said: "Well, cucumber, shoot it for garlic cucumber to eat, and you will order it in a while, unless this cucumber is transported from elsewhere, ordinary people can't eat it." ”

"You know, it looks like your Zhuangzi has auspiciousness again this year, right? In the winter, your family will give me some, and I will help you sell them? How is it? ”

Li Xun understands this cucumber, what auspicious, that is, Zhangjia Zhuangzi has a method of growing cucumbers, and he guessed it last year, and he wanted to come over to snatch it, but he was stopped by his father, saying that he could not cut off people's wealth, and he would be content if he could eat it, and Zhangjia Zhuangzi was counting on cucumbers to make more money.

Later, I heard that Zhangjia Zhuangzi had already been prepared, and as long as someone passed, the place would be destroyed, so I dispelled the idea, and now I am familiar with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and I am even more embarrassed to ask the method, so I can only buy some back.

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand, put the cucumber and garlic in the bowl, sprinkled some salt, and said while tossing there: "There is no need to sell, my family has planted a lot this year, and I can eat the cucumbers next year, distribute the seeds, and wait until I go back, let people send some to you, you always have to be filial to the elders, and then learn the method of planting, and give it to the prince, and it can be regarded as doing something good for the people." ”

"Method, your family is going to pay it? That....... Li Xun didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to be willing to hand over the method, it's all money.

"Well, my dad said, hand, last year's not to hand over is a method that was suddenly discovered, I don't know if it's good or not, Xiangrui, this year has mastered the method, this is reassuring, in fact, it's the person in my family who said, can't keep it, hand it over and get some benefits, don't hand it over and dare to sell, and dare to say Xiangrui?"

Zhang Xiaobao said helplessly, as soon as the method is said, it is not just about planting cucumbers, other things can also be tried to grow, how much money will be lost?

But this thing is like a bomb, with the arrival of the new county order, Xiao Luoshui's income is so much, Zhang Wang's family has been targeted, let's break the wealth and eliminate the disaster.

Li Xun pondered for a moment, "Understood, you just said that there is something to discuss with me, is this the matter?" What benefits does your family want? Give your father and Wang Juan's father another upgrade? ”

"If you don't get promoted, it's a false position to be promoted, it's enough to have a seven-grade official body, and then Juanjuan's father will find a way, my father can't say anything about it, it's not easy to arrange it after it is promoted, as long as you help spread my father's reputation, this method must be Yongcheng planting method."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to ask his father for an official now, he really gave it, and when the imperial examination is over, how will he arrange the grade at that time? Now that you get a six-grade official, will you be highly equipped to be a county magistrate at the local level? That's the county order of Chang'an, the capital, so use this method of cooking to change reputation, and then help publicize it everywhere, plus Cheng County's order to find good people, and the post will be smoother.

Li Xun didn't know that these were all discussed by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, thinking that it was the guidance of the master of Zhang's Zhuangzi.

"Li Gongzi, there is something to discuss, not this, it's another, let's build a few restaurants next to Shuiyunjian together, and tell you the detailed plan when we come back, and the other one is to ask you to do a favor." Zhang Xiaobao said again.

Kindly recommend a book:

Don't give him the recommended ticket for the model of the royal road, keep it for me, thank you.

"What's the rush? Li Xun asked.

"I want my father to be the first to solve the test and go up as the first person in Pizhou." Zhang Xiaobao said seriously.

"What department?" Li Xun swallowed his saliva when he heard that he wanted to be the first person, and asked again.

"Jinshike, that is, the original Xiucai department." Zhang Xiaobao replied again.

Li Xun didn't swallow saliva at this time, but wiped his sweat, he promised to get a township tribute for these children when the time came, but it was just the kind that was at the back, and there would not be too many people who could hold on, but Zhang Xiaobao, or the person he was pointing behind him, would be the first to come up, or enter the Shike, it was too scary.

"That little treasure, it's time for you to go back and tell the people at home that the first person in this state is not easy to do, you have to have real talent and learning, you have to be famous, and you have to be supported by someone, what I said doesn't count, let's talk about the restaurant."

Li Xun is really embarrassed, he doesn't have that much ability to affect the position of the first township in the state.

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to discuss this matter first, and said: "Li Gongzi, you don't have to be embarrassed, there is fame, starting tomorrow, all the places with restaurants in Sanshui County will sing Yongcheng poems, within half a month, all restaurants in the state will sing Yongcheng poems, during the New Year, Guannei Road, Henan Road, Shannan East Road, Hedong Road and other provinces, where there are wells, Yongcheng poems will be sung." ”

Li Xun was also stunned now, he understood what the Zhang family meant, that is, to use money to buy people to spread it in various places, as long as Zhang Xiaobao's father wrote something not too bad, then there is absolutely no problem, but how much does it cost? It's no wonder that I have to be a false official.

Thinking of this, Li Xun nodded, "If that's the case, it will be easier to do, plus this method of growing vegetables, your father's reputation will be great, you have to let your father write poems, write more, write well, your family said that you didn't say how much money you are willing to spend this time to send a tribute to others?" ”

is to ask Zhang Xiaobao how much silver can be given to the people above the family at home, so that he can carry it.

Zhang Xiaobao was silent at this time, he had to calculate how much income he had, how to distribute it, his family was poor again all of a sudden, just those rumored expenses would not be less, and he also had to give gifts, how much money could he have, Shui Yunjian didn't make much money here, at least not now.

Xiao Luoshui can, it's no problem to get a hundred thousand taels of silver a year, compared to those big families with a foundation who often have a foundation of one million taels of silver, compared to small households, that's not bad.

But this money is not available all at once, he needs a cycle, he is poor, just survive his father's exam.

"Five thousand taels of silver a month, you can borrow some first, it is estimated to be thirty thousand taels, take it out at one time, what does Li Gongzi think?" Zhang Xiaobao did the math and sighed that he gave a number when he had no money.

Li Xun didn't understand what Zhang Xiaobao was thinking there, didn't his family tell him about it? When Zhang Xiaobao said this, Li Xun smiled.

"It's good to have this silver, I'll help you with some money, it's actually a lot, how much is the tax in the middle of the court for a year? With this money, people in Beijing can also send posts, wait for good news, it seems that your family has made a lot of money, and I will count on you in the future. ”

Of course, Zhang Xiaobao knows that the tax revenue of the imperial court is not so much, it is impossible to pay tens of millions at every turn, mainly because the tax is small, unlike over there, you have to pay 20/30 of a hundred taxes to do a business, and some are even higher.

But it can't be said that there is no money here, the big families in the capital, just give a gift may be 1,800 yuan, at this time the river there is not frozen, and when the weather is cold, it seems that the income will be less, and you can only wait for the ice to be sold next year.

"Thank you so much Li Gongzi, when the restaurant over there comes out of Shuiyunjian, Li Gongzi will also have a little money." Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun, a fragrance entered his nose, and he could eat it in a while.

Li Xun understands that this is a benefit given to him by the Zhang family, it seems that this Zhang family is really good, the method of growing vegetables, he can get some benefits, this time there is again, the emperor's nephew is also poor, the money given by the palace on a monthly basis is really not enough to do anything, it turned out that he wanted to buy Shui Yunjian, but now he doesn't need it.

Zhang Xiaobao said that this matter was also a temporary idea, and immediately arranged for a person to go back with him, and let his father write some poems, his father's talent is still good, he knows a lot of things, not improvisational poems, the quality is guaranteed, if he is not afraid that his father will be angry, he can let Wang Juan help think of some poems to pretend.

After the stewed dishes were grunted for a while, and after the inside was thickened, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took down the pot, gave Li Xun some shares, and began to eat fragrant rice there.

Li Xun praised while eating, "Okay, what are you putting in?" Don't forget to bring me some of that spice when I go back, and I'll ask the cook at home to add it when cooking. ”

With common interests, Zhang Xiaobao and Li Xun have a closer relationship, chewing the beef with a little tendon in the back, and nodded, "Okay, I'll let someone send it to you when I go back, and when our restaurant is built, the mountain and the restaurant can be connected, you can bring people who usually get along well to play, remember to give money, and you can't eat your family's business yellow." ”

"Well, give, you must give money, and then there will be my share, my carriage should be changed, make a few more clothes, look at this dress, I wore it last year, it's a little small."

Li Xun was talking happily there, and he was still crying poor.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan glanced at the very expensive clothes on Li Xun's body, nodded, and didn't say anything, I didn't wear this last year, I didn't wear this every day, I changed ten sets of eight sets a day, as long as the body didn't grow so fast, what about the year before last?

The three of them sat together and chatted while eating, which made Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi, who were eating bacon behind, feel uncomfortable, especially the aroma of the beef stewed radish, coupled with the fragrance of cucumbers, which made the two of them feel that the meat in their mouths was really difficult to swallow.

"Brother Xingyi, didn't you just say that Li Gongzi wouldn't eat other people's things? This is the time when I have added two dishes. Han Yongyao looked at the smoked leg of lamb in his hand and complained.

"If you give it to him, of course he won't eat it, but the dish is freshly made, if it is given to me, I can't help it, two little babies, I didn't expect to be able to make such a delicious meal, cucumber with garlic foam, you can eat a bite."

Yuan Xingyi also felt that the food in his mouth was tasteless, watching others eat hot meals in large gulps, he clicked his mouth twice, and finally took another bite of his own things, who let himself not bring raw things, if he didn't want to be beaten, he could only insist.

The adults who came with him also smelled the dishes made by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and one of them should be a mother, and said to the mother of the same child next to him: "I knew that I would also bring something raw to Xin'er." ”

"It's useless to bring it, I can't do it, the little babies of the Zhang family and the Wang family are amazing, the last time I was on the grassland, I saw them cooking and eating, I don't know how they handed it over at home." The woman who heard the voice sighed.

The one who spoke before said: "It should be that the family is not rich, and the child has to help do things from an early age." ”

"Not rich? This sister, do you know where they are? Tuqiao Village, Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi's baby bumps, Xiaoluoshui's wharf is people's, there are hundreds of shops alone, and there are restaurants and warehouses, and only rent but not sell, and the rent money collected a year is hundreds of thousands. ”

The woman who knew the situation gave this unclear introduction, and she was even more envious when she said that the waste land that she bought for a thousand taels of silver turned into a chicken that laid golden eggs.

When the woman heard that the two children belonged to the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang's family, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and after a long time closed them, and said, "So the rich Zhuangzi even let the children learn to cook?" Is it possible to let the child go to the restaurant to be a cook in the future? ”

said sourly, and then looked at his eleven-year-old child gnawing on a meatloaf, eating dregs everywhere, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's steady appearance, and shook his head helplessly, today the child is the last time to eat meatloaf, and tomorrow will start to gnaw on something else, and the meatloaf can't be left for too long.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finished eating for a while, looked at the bowl stained with oil, looked at the water bag they brought, poured some distressedly, shook it a few times, raised their heads and drank the water stained with oil stars, and then took out two pieces of paper to wipe it.

"The river in front of you seems to have to be reached the day after tomorrow, so hold on for two days." Zhang Xiaobao put away his things and lay down on top of the withered grass.

"Are you really going to get there?" Wang Juan asked while lying next to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao turned his head slightly to look at where Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi were, and put his arm under his head, "It depends on when the two of them can quit, they hold on for a short time, we will go back early, if we can hold on to the end, then I admire them." ”

"It's absolutely impossible, it can't scare them to death, make them in a trance, and have no strength." Wang Juan took out the blanket and pushed Zhang Xiaobao to turn over, one spread underneath, and the other covered the two people.

After lying down for a while, Zhang Xiaobao took out the knife and walked towards Han Yongyao.

"You, what do you want to do? I'm telling you, if you dare to use the knife, you're done. Han Yongyao looked at Zhang Xiaobao, who came over with a knife, and asked vigilantly.

Yuan Xingyi was also staring at Zhang Xiaobao beside him, he didn't believe that Zhang Xiaobao was doing it at this time.

Zhang Xiaobao came to the front of the two people, squatted down, smiled at the two people, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't have nightmares at night, I'll cut some grass and use it as a pillow, you guys are busy." ”

As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he really cut it next to the two of them, making Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi not know what to do.

When Zhang Xiaobao was almost cut, Yuan Xingyi remembered and asked, "Don't you have any grass over there?" Why cut us here? ”

"Yes, but I don't want to see you die, so I'll help you, something will happen where you are lying." Zhang Xiaobao's voice was pouting, and he said with a little trill.

"You, what are you talking nonsense? Our lives are saved by you? You made it clear to us. Yuan Xingyi shuddered when he heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, felt a little uncomfortable, and asked angrily.

Han Yongyao next to him was also staring there, as if Zhang Xiaobao didn't let Zhang Xiaobao go if he didn't give the two of them a reasonable explanation.

Zhang Xiaobao raised the grass in his hand and said to the two of them: "See, this grass is different from other places, take a good look, is it a little longer?" ”

Listening to Zhang Xiaobao's words, the two of them looked around and found that the one around them was indeed a little longer than the one in the distance, but they didn't know what was going on with the grass growing a little longer, could it be that if it grew up, it would kill people?

"Don't understand? Let me tell you, there is an old grave below where you were sitting, and there is such a thing in the old grave, and the grass grows on it, why? Because grass needs water, how can it grow without water? The old graves are all places of absolute shade, and if the shade is cool, there will be more water. ”

Zhang Xiaobao explained, in fact, this place is sunny, there are few trees next to it, two people stand here, the grass naturally grows a little bit, even if it is shorter, it is fine, Zhang Xiaobao has another set of words.

The two of them hurriedly took a few steps to the side, as if they were about to change places, and Zhang Xiaobao suddenly said again: "Want to go?" How can you stand and sit on top of people for so long, how can you just leave? In that case, the contents will come out to you at night and weigh on you. ”

"Don't scare us, we're not afraid, if we don't leave, will we continue to sleep here? What does this have to do with you mowing the lawn? Yuan Xingyi did stop, but he still refuted Zhang Xiaobao's words.

Zhang Xiaobao sighed, shook his head again, and said, "I don't understand to you, you see, this grass has been cut, so is there not so much grass in this place?" Look, there are still grass that is not withered and yellow, with a little green, I cut it like this, do you understand? ”

The two of them shook their heads together, Han Yongyao felt a little cold, shivered, and asked, "Just mow the grass?" What's inside won't come out? ”

"That's right, smart, that's what it looks like, you are pressed on other people's bodies, then you have to do something for others, this place is yin, and the things in there are like yin, cut the grass, and the grass that has not yet withered will not be able to get the water out below, and the things inside will be happy, so you can be forgiven."

Zhang Xiaobao's voice has been trembling slightly when he speaks, and he sighed at the degree of belief in this aspect of the people here, and at that time, if he dared to talk to someone like this, he would directly make him jump up and swing his fist.

Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao glanced at each other, nodded, and felt that what Zhang Xiaobao said was indeed reasonable, Yuan Xingyi walked back now, squatted next to Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "You helped us cut the grass, isn't that nothing?" Why can't you go yet? ”

"Who says it's okay? Thou shalt not let the contents know that it is the work of the two of you, but thou shalt lay under the grass under thy body, and at night it shall not harm you when the contents come out and see it, and remember, do not let any more water be left on the grass, or you will find that when you sleep, you will have to breathe, and there is something sitting on you. ”

Zhang Xiaobao continued to cut, almost cut, and rolled the two bundles of grass in front of Yuan Xingyi and the others, the two of them hesitated, but still chose to listen to Zhang Xiaobao, mainly a few people next to them also came to see the excitement, seeing Zhang Xiaobao say this, he nodded, and at the same time began to see if the grass had grown around where he was going to sleep.

Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao bundled the grass together, dragged it to change places, the grass here was short, spread the grass, and looked at the place where he was sitting and standing just now, turned his head, and didn't seem to want to look more.

Zhang Xiaobao cut some hay again, formed two balls as pillows, and Wang Juan also got some hay to pad under the blanket, and this time he could sleep.

When Zhang Xiaobao returned to Wang Juan, he said to Yuan Xingyi and the others: "Remember, don't let the grass under your body have water, otherwise you will be pressed by something that comes out there, that thing can hold a grudge, I don't know how many days to press, if you are pressed, you will find that when you get up in the morning, your body is sour and sticky." ”

"Xiaobao, you're amazing." Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao coming back, moved a position for him to sit down, and whispered.

"I'm a good person, I didn't poison them, and I did them a big favor, you said that the things below came up, so what should I do?" Zhang Xiaobao's serious appearance made Wang Juan couldn't help laughing.

"Are you a good person? Well, go to the grave and burn the newspaper, lie to the ghosts, I'll sleep first, you look at the fire, don't let the mosquitoes bite me, this should be the last batch of mosquitoes, drill into the meat. ”

Wang Juan muttered, arched his body, and fell asleep on his side, Zhang Xiaobao held a handful of grass in his hand, sat there, looked at the fire, and swept the grass over Wang Juan's face, so as not to have mosquitoes flying over.

When he slept until midnight, Wang Juan woke up, touched Zhang Xiaobao, Zhang Xiaobao lay down again, and when it was almost dawn, Wang Juan didn't keep it, got into the blanket, hugged Zhang Xiaobao and squinted for a while, and then got up together.

Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao didn't have to keep vigil last night, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took the initiative to ask for it, so that they could split the time to calculate those two people.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan packed up their things, and then came to the place where Yuan Xingyi and the two of them slew, squatted down to watch, and several other people who got up early also came over.

"It's over, there's water." Among the few people who came over, one of them pointed to the grass under Yuan Xingyi and the others and screamed, and this voice woke up the two people, and they were just about to move, when they suddenly felt that their bodies were sour and sticky, and when they didn't know what was going on, the people around them began to ask one after another.

Some asked if they had a nightmare last night, if they felt pressed, some asked if they were sour and uncomfortable, and some even came over and touched it to see if it was so sticky.

Yuan Xingyi and the others listened to the words of the people around them, looked at the water droplets on the grass, felt their bodies, and thought about the things they seemed to have really dreamed of last night, one after another, and they couldn't connect with each other, and their faces turned pale when they were frightened.

"How did you get it, didn't you say let the grass dry? That's the end of it. Zhang Xiaobao sighed sadly and said there.

Wang Juan also nodded beside him, pointed to the faces of the two people and said, "Why is it so white, is it because the yang energy has been sucked?" ”

The people around looked at the pale faces of the two people and nodded their heads one after another, which made the faces of the two people even more difficult to look at, and they looked at each other and immediately gasped.

Han Yongyao was the least daring, and he was about to cry out in fright, and kept muttering there, "It's over, it's over, what should I do now?" Come on, come over to Ben Gongzi. ”

His subordinates also knew about this, and they came to look at it at night, but they didn't see it clearly, and they only felt a little damp when they touched the grass, but there was no water, and a subordinate was more clever, and said next to him: "Childe, don't be afraid, this is dew." ”

"I don't care what kind of water it is, I'm sore and uncomfortable right now, give me a way." Han Yongyao didn't have time to care about any dew at this time, and dew was also water.

The subordinate thought about it, took a cloth bag from his neck, gave it to Han Yongyao's hand, and said, "Childe, this is what my mother asked me for the year before last, you can wear it, maybe it will be a little useful." ”

"Okay, I'll reward you when I get back." Han Yongyao took this thing and put it on his neck, and finally felt a lot better, and the next person immediately said:

"Childe, your face is better."

"Really?"

"Well, it's much better, but it's still a little white, better than before." One person affirmed.

Han Yongyao let out a sigh of relief, finally less afraid, but the uncomfortable feeling on his body did not disappear.

Yuan Xingyi was still afraid, so he found those people in his family, and after some inquiry, he really asked him to get a talisman and wear it on his body to thank Zhang Xiaobao.

"Today, you still have to use that kind of grass to cover it when you go somewhere else, and see how it goes, if it doesn't work, then you can only go home early."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't seem to think that just wearing a talisman was enough, and continued.

The two of them believed it now, nodded their heads, and forcibly endured the discomfort on their bodies to eat, and felt sick when they ate it in their mouths.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took out two dried steamed buns, made some cucumber goose egg soup, put some more ginger foam in them, broke the steamed buns and soaked them in them, and ate them to their heart's content.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to kill him, so he only let the two of them pad for another night, the dew on this mountain was big, not to mention the grass, even the dry grass also had a layer of dewdrops.

Waiting for everyone to get up almost, there are those who want to go to the place first, and leave in advance, in fact, it is useless, if these people who rush first at night dare to sleep in one place with a few people, it can still have some effect, but unfortunately, they know that there are people next to them to take care of, and they also want to rest with the large army.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan changed their usual appearance of not talking this time, and said while walking, usually Wang Juan asked, and Zhang Xiaobao answered.

"Xiaobao, you said that the thing that came out from underneath, will you still look for the two of them tonight? Will it find us. Wang Juan's voice was not small, and he also glanced at Yuan Xingyi.

"Who knows? I hope don't look for it, let's stay away at night, don't sleep too well at night, otherwise there will be no time to react to something. ”

Zhang Xiaobao also glanced back at the two of them, shook his head, and thought of a way there, which meant sleeping less at night.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan said this, so that everyone else was a little farther away from Han Yongyao, afraid of being implicated, and even those adults in the family also persuaded the children after hearing about the matter, don't stay too close when they go to bed at night, and some immediately let people go to the Taoist temple to ask for charms, well, Taoist temple, the temple was almost demolished, and it was not easy to find.

Han Yongyao and the others were originally afraid, but when they heard Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan keep talking, they were even more frightened in their hearts, they stumbled when they walked, their eyes were blank, and they looked around nervously when they were a little troubled.

The two of them looked at it, and others followed suit, which made the atmosphere even more tense, and there were a lot of talking voices along the way, but there were no more voices, only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were telling some ghost stories.

When it was time to eat at noon, Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi couldn't eat a bite, so they drank some water, and their eyes were obviously sunken.

"Childe, childe, there is news from the house, last night, a haystack in the house suddenly caught fire, and all the straw in a row was burned."

Just when Han Yongyao was thinking about what to do at night, a subordinate of his family ran over from behind, panting and said.

"Burned? How did you burn it? Did you do it, or did you do it yourself? As soon as Han Yongyao heard that the grass in his house was burned, his brows furrowed, and those grasses could be used as firewood or dung, and he would lose a lot of money.

"I don't know, it shouldn't have been done by people, I didn't see any footprints next to it, the official went over first, saying that he was on fire, but some people said that he heard some noises at night, just like the one called the monkey in the firecracker sold by Zhangjia Zhuangzi."

The subordinates looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who were sitting there eating, and answered the child's question.

"Jumping monkeys? So you ordered it with that thing? Han Yongyao's gaze also swept over, and the two of them spoke without concealment, so many people around them could hear it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan naturally heard it, and the two of them glanced at each other, holding back the smile in their hearts, and looked at Han Yongyao suspiciously.

"Han Gongzi's haystack is on fire? Oh, this costs a lot of money, weird, why have we been in trouble over there in the past two days? Someone came to my house the day before yesterday to poison the fish, and last night they went to Han Gongzi's house to set it on fire? Really didn't burn it on its own? ”

Zhang Xiaobao said angrily, and Wang Juan also echoed, "But isn't it, who is so bad that they are specifically targeting us?" Oh, won't something happen to Yuan Gongzi's house, is it on fire? ”

Wang Juan's last question is exactly what others want to know.

The subordinate immediately replied, "It didn't burn, the stacks were placed outside, and there are still a lot of roads to the house, I don't know who the monkeys in Zhang Gongzi's house have been sold to?" ”

The subordinate has always been suspicious of the people sent by Zhang Xiaobao's family, and he has heard that Zhang's Zhuangzi arrested three people who wanted to poison the pond, and it was rumored that this was someone from the Han family, so thinking about it, people naturally wanted to retaliate.

If Zhang Xiaobao didn't pay attention to this subordinate, you can ask me a young master of Zhuangzi? Your master asked about the same.

"Shut up, how can this be said by you, Zhang Gongzi, it's all because I don't discipline strictly, but this is really what I want to ask, as long as I find who I sold it to, then I can check it."

Han Yongyao knew as soon as he saw Zhang Xiaobao's attitude, the people in his own family crossed him to speak, and people thought that his family discipline was not good, and they didn't look at the subordinates brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, so they always followed them without saying a word, and occasionally laughed when they talked about them.

And the people who followed them, usually talking to each other, all of them seemed to have studied, some people said that the leaves were scattered, and then people followed by the spring hair of the next year, etc., and the two compared, then you know who is good and who is bad.

glared at the person, and explained to Zhang Xiaobao again, and then asked the original words.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head blankly, "I don't know, it's sold every day, who knows which one is bought?" Juan Juan and I are not at home either, Han Gongzi will not suspect that it was me and Juan Juan who rushed back overnight last night to burn your family's straw with the Sky Monkey, right? Our family was poisoned, and we never suspected Han Gongzi. ”

He didn't say this, Han Yongyao really thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, but as soon as he said it, Han Yongyao had already affirmed that the straw stacks were burned by his Zhang family, which is to tell himself, if you dare to poison my house, I will burn your straw, if you don't admit it, I won't admit it.

Han Yongyao held his breath in his heart, knowing what was going on, but he couldn't say it, his face was flushed, and he gasped a few times before he squeezed out a smile and said: "No, how can it be the Zhang family, just as the little lady of the Wang family said, someone must want to harm our Zhuangzi over there." ”

Yuan Xingyi, who was next to him, heard the conversation between the two parties, turned his head and looked at the place where his family was staying, and then looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's innocent looks, and he was also worried, and he also understood.

Li Xun leaned over at this time and said, "Han Gongzi's stacks were burned?" I remember that I bought a lot of firecrackers a few days ago, among which I bought about 200 of them only by jumping monkeys, and I bought more and cheaper. ”

"No, it's not, how can it be Li Gongzi's family, an outsider, it must be an outsider." Han Yongyao could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, who let him do it first? I was anxious and angry, and my face became ugly again.

"Han Gongzi, don't think about it, it's just a little straw, it's not worth a few dollars, if you use it, you can buy it in my Zhuangzi and sell it to you cheaply." Zhang Xiaobao continued to be angry with this Han Yongyao.

Zhang Xiaobao is actually very reluctant to do this, what is the strength of a child? Don't let him know that he was afraid, he went back and arranged for more people to make trouble for Zhuangzi, and he couldn't afford to worry about that, so he could only solve it according to the child's method, who let his family have a little power.

"Okay, thank you Xiaobao for that." Han Yongyao is really scared now, the Zhang family seems to be able to do anything, especially the child in front of him, he knows what's going on, and the cute one he pretends to be, none of the children of rich and noble families are fuel-efficient lamps.

At this time, what Yuan Xingyi was worried about happened, a subordinate hurriedly ran over, and before he could speak, Yuan Xingyi asked, "Is there something going on at home?" The stack of straw was ordered by someone with a monkey? ”

"Hui Gongzi's words, no, last night, someone passed by in front of Zhuangzi to sell rabbit peas and watercress that had been bitten by insects, and some grass should be shaded before autumn, or green, very cheap, ask Zhangjia Zhuangzi everywhere, saying that it is to Zhangjia Zhuangzi to sell.

The housekeeper let people buy some, but this morning, the four horses and six cows of the main family began to diarrhea, and they couldn't stand up. ”

The subordinate told the story of what happened over there.

"Who is it? Want to harm the cattle and horses on our Zhuangzi? I also specifically asked where is our house? Thanks to the housekeeper in Yuan Gongzi's family, otherwise my family's cattle and horses would be finished, Yuan Gongzi, it really made your family suffer an unwarranted disaster. ”

Without waiting for Yuan Xingyi to speak, Zhang Xiaobao shouted angrily, and turned to Yuan Xingyi to thank him.

"You're welcome, Xiaobao's family is lucky." Yuan Xingyi also squeezed a smile, and said to his subordinates: "Go back and tell the family, you don't need to check, you don't need to report to the official, that person must not be found, who is feeding the cattle and horses, why didn't you find something in that material?" ”

"If you go back to Gongzi, how can you not look at it, but there is nothing in it, just grass and beans." The servant replied, knowing that the people who fed the cattle and horses in the Zhuangzi were going to suffer.

Wang Juan interjected at this time and said: "Yuan Gongzi, do you say that this is the case, that one has a bad stomach, one is that something is moldy, this cow should be fine, my cow can eat anything, then it should be croton, how can you not see it, you think, use croton to boil water, and then soak beans and grass, this can't be found, right?" ”

"Yes, the little lady of the Wang family is really not ordinary smart, croton boils water, and she is ruthless enough." Yuan Xingyi looked at Wang Juan with big eyes and an innocent look, and felt a little bitter in his mouth, look at how good people are, and tell you what happened, but who made your housekeeper greedy.

"Go back quickly, just tell your family, don't think about it, the rest of the dung." Yuan Xingyi said to his subordinates again.

Waiting for the subordinates to leave, Yuan Xingyi's eyes swept over Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's bodies, thought for a while and said: "After I go back, I will send someone to guard the Zhuangzi, in case anyone still wants to make trouble in Zhangjia Zhuangzi, I will definitely not let it go, you can rest assured, especially the one who wants to poison the fish." ”

"Really, then Yuan Gongzi, you quickly call that subordinate back, I suddenly thought of a way, boil garlic with vinegar, pour it into the cow to see, is there still salvation?"

Wang Juan's long eyelashes fanned.

Yuan Xingyi was stunned for a moment, his face was about to squeeze together, and he nodded, "Okay, thank you Little Lady Wang." ”

After finding the subordinate again, he told him again according to what Wang Juan said, and the subordinate was a little worried about this method and asked, "Childe, can this work?" ”

"Okay, go ahead, what could be worse than this? If you don't eat it, you die. Yuan Xingyi believed that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan understood what he had just compromised, so he gave a way, and there was no need for people to continue to pit him.

Han Yongyao didn't have as many thoughts as Yuan Xingyi, so he didn't know how to apologize at all, and he couldn't understand it when he heard Yuan Xingyi's words, and when others didn't look at him, he asked: "Brother Xingyi, you are really ready to help them Zhangjia Zhuangzi, they just hurt you." ”

"I'm helping myself, don't think about hurting others when you go back, bear with it first, and wait for their new county order to arrive." Yuan Xingyi advised Han Yongyao, but as for whether he listened or not, he couldn't care about it.

When everyone hurried again, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't say any ghost stories, and there was an accident with two Zhuangzi in a row.

Wang Juan walked beside Zhang Xiaobao and whispered: "Isn't it bad for us to bully children like this?" Look at the bullies who are bullied by others, such an adult, and you have to see it like a child. ”

"Do they know we're adults? They know that we are less than three years old, and they are not ignorant, especially that Yuan Xingyi, how good he said, he apologized to us, and people couldn't hear it, did he think about it when he bullied us, it was not good to bully children?

What's more, if you don't bully them, they will make a lot of trouble, can you let our parents go to the adults of his family? The best way to deal with children is to use the child's own method, you watch the previous children's programs, which one is not an adult pretending to be a child? ”

Zhang Xiaobao didn't think anything of it, the two sides were just flattened, and he would be more stable in the future.

"Then forget it, wait for the trouble again, teach them a lesson, I don't know who released the monkeys, so they can't find anyone, they're not afraid now, so do you need to get them away? It's alright, let's go home. ”

Wang Juan saw that the purpose of coming over this time was achieved, and she lost interest in continuing to stay, otherwise how could they come with so many raw things, and they were not prepared to stay longer at all, she didn't believe that Li Xun would beat their board, after all, when the two of them arrived at the place, it was impossible to get them a place for a township tribute.

"Stay for two more days, I'll have a good time with Li Xun to inquire about the situation of the new county order, and the people in the house over there have finished talking with Song Jinggong, and after the news comes, I will also ask."

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it for a while and felt that he could take this opportunity to ask some things and make plans in advance.

Wang Juan nodded in support, and the two of them began to stop talking again, bowing their heads and hurrying away.

Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao were indeed no longer afraid, but they caught a cold last night, and they had been worried for half a day today, so they didn't have much to eat, and they didn't have much strength in their bodies, so they followed behind and gritted their teeth and insisted.

"Brother Xingyi, why are these two children so smart, even we have been deceived." Han Yongyao said weakly.

"It's not that they're smart, the adults in the family might have told them when they came, or the subordinate next to them, as long as they weren't too stupid, they could learn as soon as they were taught." Yuan Xingyi would not have thought that these ideas were all pondered by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but thought that others told him how to do it.

Han Yongyao felt that it was, "This can make the two of us miserable, I don't know if we can persevere, when will the new county order arrive, and it will be difficult to get to know each other?" ”

"When the time comes, you will know, they can grow cucumbers on the Zhuangzi, and when the county order comes, they can find a reason to clean them up, if there are no two seven-grade officials, it will be difficult to do it, bear it, you must not offend them before this, put away those small means."

Yuan Xingyi finally gave up his ideas, so he could only listen to the words of the family and wait, the things of Zhangjia Zhuangzi these days had already been found out in his family, so he wanted to intervene, but there was no chance, otherwise how could he give Han Yongyao a bad idea?

He originally wanted the adults to see that he could also toss Zhangjia Zhuangzi with his ability, and then he went over to ask for benefits, otherwise he would continue to toss, but he thought that the first step had not succeeded, and the revenge of the people came, tossing the family for a while, and tossing himself again.

******

Next to the water and clouds of Zhangjia Zhuangzi, the three Zhuangzi households are digging hard there, there are not many people from the Zhang and Wang families this time, most of them are put on the mountain, and Gejia Zhuangzi is sending out all the labor that can come out.

Ge Yingxi stood aside, watching there with his hands behind his back, his heart was happy for a while, and Steward Ge was also smiling there constantly.

"Master, waiting for those restaurants here to be built, our family's money will be more abundant, to say that the ability of this Zhang family is indeed not small, but people are a little stupid, giving so many benefits to the Zhuang family on the Zhuangzi, and sharing the benefits with us, a loser."

When Steward Ge calculated how much income he could have, he laughed at the Zhang and Wang families.

Ge Yingxi turned his head and glared at the housekeeper, and said in a deep voice: "From today on, I don't want to hear you say such things, and you are not allowed to have such thoughts, the Zhang and Wang families don't want to watch us live a hard life, so you still think about that day?" It is said that it is the main family, and it would be good to have a hundred and ten strokes left all year round, but now? ”

"Last month, I ordered 1,400 horses of silk at home, 280 taels of silver, 160 taels of copper coins, and 51 taels of broken silver, and the two warehouses of the house were also full, and there were some things in them, which were worth about 30 or 40 taels.

Master, the family is indeed much stronger, just to say, dare not say it in the future, and dare not think about it, but I still can't figure it out, can't they just buy our Zhuangzi, why do they have to be good to us. ”

As soon as the housekeeper talked about the money, he was excited, and he reported how much money Zhuangzi has now, most of it is the money divided between the water and clouds, and some of it is the seeds sold, and the Ge family has also sold it.

Ge Yingxi glanced at Xiaoqiao and said, "Let's not talk about whether they buy me or not, even if they sell, what can I do?" There are too many confidential things in their Zhuangzi, and if they buy my Zhuangzi, they will have to be adjacent to others, at least the Zhuang households of the Ge family and we will not harm them now.

Can they change to a new neighbor, and they can guarantee that the new neighbor will not harm them? The three of us Zhuangzi have been here for many years, and we still know the roots, and the old man in the family can also talk to the people in their family, can the new neighbors? ”

"Master, I know, with a new neighbor, if they want to be stable, they have to divide part of the benefits, who is not divided? It's always familiar to us, so we have to help them block it at a critical time? "The butler has now opened his mind.

"It's to help yourself block, they collapsed, we'll be finished, don't be afraid, the emperor's nephew is also here, this time the building is also considered a part of the emperor's nephew, this is a good means, pull the people around together, it's really something, no one can help find a way, everyone earns money."

Ge Yingxi admired the Zhang and Wang families in his heart, it is said that when the two children were about to turn one year old, Zhuangzi came up with a master, why didn't he come here? If you really get your own Zhuangzi, will you follow their example and divide the benefits? Yes, this is the guidance of the master, and the master will definitely guide himself.

Steward Ge also thought about this matter, he is much better now than before, especially the Zhuang household, he used to see that he was afraid, but now he is respectful, isn't it just to make clothes and give something.

Thinking about it, Steward Ge's mind became active again, and he asked respectfully: "Master, I've seen the picture drawn by Zhangjia Zhuangzi, do we Zhuangzi also follow their example, dig a few ponds, divert water into them, and connect them with canals, and it won't cost Taidu's money?" ”

"Wait, wait for them to come out, see if it's good, if it's good, learn to do it, how many people can come at that time, it depends on how the emperor's nephew repairs the road from Zhuangzi on his side to Huayuan County and Yunyang County, if this river can be widened and connected to the river over there, it will be better."

Ge Yingxi is also aware of these things, only when there are many people who come, can there be a better income, otherwise only with such a potholed road, the only person who comes to the water and clouds can only be the person who came from Xiao Luoshui.

"Master, look, there are some people over there, it looks like there are a lot of them, you don't need to greet them, it's not like going to the water and clouds, from Xiao Luo Shui to the water and clouds, you should take another way."

When Ge Yingxi was immersed in the imagination of a better life with the housekeeper, the farsighted housekeeper pointed to the road that passed from that side and said.

"Let's go, let's see." Ge Yingxi also wondered, what he was most afraid of was the people who came to find trouble, seeing that there were benefits here, there were many people who wanted to find trouble, and they were all dealt with by Zhang and Wang's two families, and after the official body, it was a little better.

When the two men walked over, they could faintly see that there were about twenty people there, and one of them was guarded in the middle, pointing at the water and clouds not far away, and then walked to the field, as if he wanted to go straight through there.

Ge Yingxi and the housekeeper also hurriedly changed the direction, obliquely greeted them, and the villagers who were digging the river also saw the people coming, and when they saw the old man of the Ge family greeting them, they stopped their work one by one, gathered and went over there, especially the farmers of Gezhuang, they were afraid that someone would hurt the master.

"My lord, look, there is a water and clouds, and many people who have heard it want to come and take a look, my lord, be careful of your step."

As I got closer, I could already hear the voices from there, and a person was introducing the water to the people who were being protected.

The adult bowed slightly, "Yes, I heard that you can eat and fish in it, and the person who came up with the idea is good, what about digging the river over there?" What are you digging rivers for? ”

"Back to the adult's words, the small one inquired about it, saying that it was to get some more restaurants or something here, there is a saying, called the mountain in the middle of the water on the side, go to the sentence in the Book of Poetry."

The person next to him seemed to know a lot, and another person next to him also said: "My lord, I have heard some of the small ones, I heard from the villagers yesterday, saying that when the time comes, a road will be built to the mountain, called the mountain outside the mountain building outside the building." ”

"Okay, domineering, this name is good, go and taste it for a while, I heard that the taste of the dishes here is no worse than the signature dishes of those big restaurants in the capital, and it is even better."

The protected person smiled a little, and at the same time looked at Ge Yingxi and the housekeeper who came over, and the people around him directly took a few steps forward to block it.

******

Today's more over.,I'm a real person.,As long as each chapter is less than 3000 words.,It doesn't count.,To make up a chapter.,Yesterday's chapter was 2700 words.,I'm sorry everyone.,Make it up.,I'm relieved.。

The ground is hard and the rice stubble is short, and there are people coming from the bypass. The same is said to be in the water pavilion, and it is necessary to prevent people from being outside.

Ge Yingxi, who came to see the situation, was guarded outside, and four sturdy people blocked in front of him and the butler, each holding a knife in his hand, looking at the handle and scabbard, he knew that people's weapons were not ornaments, different from the swords that ordinary geniuses carried with them.

"Who? Dare to come close here? The four of them stopped Ge Yingxi, and another person next to him came over and questioned loudly.

"Can't come?" Ge Yingxi was a little dazed.

"Of course, this is not an ordinary place for people to tread." The man continued to keep his face composed.

Ge Yingxi pointed at himself, then to the ground under his feet, and then to the person who was talking on the other side, his mouth opened twice as big as usual.

"Master, let's retreat first, there are too many of them, come here, the master has been picked up in his own field." The housekeeper stood in front of Ge Yingxi for more than half of his body, and stepped back and shouted to the villager who was almost there.

This is amazing, the villagers see someone here to drive the master's master, too bullying, if the master really let people take away, in the future, they don't have to live on the Zhuangzi, they can't raise their heads when they go out.

All of a sudden, the dealers rushed over with the tools in their hands.

The Zhuang households of the Zhang and Wang families were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what to do, and one of them was in charge here, and the miscellaneous man in the inner courtyard of the Zhang family shouted: "Ah, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." ”

With this, it is easy to do, and the two dealers also rushed with them, and the twenty or so people there saw a group of people rushing over, still holding 'weapons' in their hands, and several of them immediately panicked, but the guard was calm, greeted, and arrested Ge Yingxi and the housekeeper first.

As soon as Ge Yingxi was caught, the dealers surrounded about 20 people, glaring angrily one by one, and their hands were tightly clenched on the long handle of the shovel and pickaxe.

"Don't be dry, let the master go." When the saber was rattling, the man who had been protected, who was probably in his sixties, looked at Ge Yingxi and the others and said.

"My lord, there are many households here, if you ......."

"Let it go." This adult does not allow others to say more.

"Put." The head of the guard gritted his teeth and ordered, while being more vigilant about his surroundings.

"Master, are you alright?" Ge Yingxi and the housekeeper were let go, and immediately a dealer was pulled into the crowd and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, I killed the usually disobedient cow at night, everyone tastes it." Ge Yingxi took a look at several surrounding villagers, decided to kill a cow, and admitted the fine.

As he had spoken, he turned to look at the twenty or so people, but saw that the old man was not as frightened as he had imagined, but smiled at him.

"Are you waiting for the Ge family? Know that you are faithful to protect the Lord, and it is good. The old man looked at the surrounding dealers and praised with a smile.

The dealers were silent, a little nervous, and they didn't want to back down, so they held on.

"My lord, the people in two different clothes over there are not from the Ge family." A person who was scared just now next to him found that he was not attacked at this time, so he put a little bit of heart, and pointed to the people of Zhang Wang's family and said.

Hearing this, the old man became interested and asked the Zhuang households of the Zhang and Wang families: "Is there a person in charge?" ”

"The Cloud Rider Captain's Mansion is here." The steward took a few steps forward with his chest straight, and said loudly in front of the old man.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yunqi Lieutenant Mansion, but is it a subordinate in the courtyard of Zhang Yongcheng, the seventh-rank official?" What is a star? The matter of Gejia Zhuangzi, why did you let people come? ”

"One star is the worst, so why not come? Ge, Zhang Wangzhi's table also. Ge died, and King Zhang would follow. This subordinate was not afraid of the old man's gaze, and said loudly.

"From the tiger, do you know what he said? Zhangjia Zhuangzi's worst subordinate. The old man stared at the subordinate and asked without looking back.

The one near him thought hard and shook his head, "Master, I don't know, who knows what he's talking nonsense?" ”

The old man sighed softly and said to the man, "Are you willing to do things with me?" ”

The subordinate shook his head vigorously, "Gu Zhou is not happy, I am not Tian." ”

"Okay, what a cloud rider and a star miscellaneous man, hahaha, the worst?" The old man laughed as he spoke.

Steward Ge next to him was confused, and asked Ge Yingxi in confusion, "Master, what did they say?" ”

Ge Yingxi, like Zhang's father, also wanted to take the imperial examination, and when he heard the housekeeper's words, he clicked his mouth twice and said, "Ge, King Zhang's watch is also." It is said that the lips and teeth are cold in the Spring and Autumn Period, and then it is said that Zhuangzi is happy, and the loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters, and Tian said that he did not do it. ”

"Huh? Master, do you mean that he is a descendant of the Zhang family, and he uses two allusions in a row? When did the Zhang family become so powerful? Steward Zhang felt as if he had fallen asleep suddenly, otherwise how could he dream, he knew this subordinate.

Ge Yingxi's voice was not loud, but it was not small, and the people around him also heard it, and Conghu, who had just been asked by the old man, shouted to the subordinates of the Zhang family at this time: "You dare to deceive my master and say, who are you?" How do you know so much? ”

"This old man, can your family call the shots? The old man treats people very well, if someone in the Zhang Mansion dares to ...... like this. The descendants of the Zhang family didn't say what they said, but the meaning was clearly expressed.

The old man's face, which had not changed color, suddenly turned red, turned his head and glared at Conghu, and shouted, "Retreat." ”

From the tiger frightened, he lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound.

The old man asked the descendants of the Zhang family again: "Can you tell the old man, where did these two sentences come from?" ”

"The people in the house, the first to teach the etiquette, there is a room in the house to put books and paper, during which the books are hidden, the next person can take them, if they are illiterate, they can ask the master in the house, if they do not know their meaning, the lord, the lady, the master should ask when they meet it, the three are teachers, know everything, and say everything.

The small ones are stupid on weekdays and have learned very little, but they happened to meet what they learned in the past, and they felt quite deeply, so casually speaking, they are better than the five-star people in the house, and the small ones are not as good. ”

If this person is seen by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he will definitely sigh, he is a temporary player, and he is always unable to understand the school examination on weekdays.

The old man and the people who came with him didn't know, thinking that Zhangjia Zhuangzi would pull out the worst one at random, which was really a bit too scary, and it was too shocking, don't say that it is the family of the seven-grade scattered officials, that is, the people among the three-grade officials, how many people can compare with others?

"The little lady of the Wang family also taught you some knowledge?" The old man looked over there, and although he couldn't see the main courtyard of the Zhang family at all, he still asked.

The subordinates' eyes immediately opened wide, and he looked at the old man in front of him with a little fear, thought about it as quickly as he could, and said, "How did the old man know?" The little lady of the Wang family does always teach us that there are a lot of interesting things, originally we didn't, but as soon as the little lady of the Wang family and the little boy played, we found out that there were still such interesting things. ”

This time, the old man was stunned, "Who is the little boy?" The girl of the Wang family is so big, teach her to play with your subordinates? ”

"The little boy is the little boy, the child of the lady and the master, the little ancestor of the Zhang family, the little lady of the Wang family since she opened her eyes and saw the little boy, she can no longer be separated, and then one day when she was about to be one year old, the little boy and the little lady taught us to play."

The subordinate thought as he spoke, wondering if he had said something wrong, in case he let others know about the little boy and the little lady, it would be troublesome.

The old man understood this time, and nodded, "Are you talking about the little juan in the Wang family's Zhuangzi?" No, I'm talking about your wife Wang Qiao'er, being able to learn from Qiao'er, that's the blessing you are waiting for, Zhang Yongcheng picked a cheap, fortunately, he only had an official body in a few years, otherwise...... Hum! ”

"What else?" The subordinate is unwilling, this person always looks high, and the master is what he can say?

"Otherwise, I don't have anything to do with it, he suffers himself, I heard that the two babies of the Zhang family's family are better looking than others, I don't know what to play on weekdays?" The old man stopped talking about Zhang's father, and began to talk about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, with a smile on his face.

Now the person is still angry, and he turned his head, "I don't know." ”

Suddenly turned around again, with a faint signature smile similar to that of a buddy on his face, and said: "I just thought about some side things, but I didn't tell the old man, but the old man wanted to know about the little boy and the little lady playing in the past?" The small one only knows that there is a small car, and other things can be asked about the pomegranate. ”

The old man was even more surprised, the subordinate was obviously angry, but suddenly turned his face again, this kind of thing usually needs to be seen among some big merchants or officials, don't offend people, don't look for trouble.

In this case, the old man also asked, "Who is the pomegranate?" How many stars? Can it be in the banker? ”

"The pomegranate is the little boy and the little lady, originally three stars, and then there is no star, only dyed a blue at the collar, and the little boy and the little lady went to Xiaoluoshui to play." The subordinates knew that they had gone to the place where the emperor's nephew lived in the wild, but they told a lie.

"Why no stars? Dyed blue again? The old man smiled and asked his subordinates.

The next person didn't know, and thought that the old man was led away by him, and continued: "The old man looked up, the sky is blue, and the pomegranate is with the little boy and the little lady. ”

When the subordinate said this, he was still thinking about what the little boy and the little lady said at the beginning, and another meaning was that there is a heaven outside the sky, a net from heaven to earth, and anyone who dares to make trouble will let him know that it is powerful.

The old man didn't expect it to be like this, it seems that the status of those two little guys in the two families is not ordinary, and they can make the people around them independent of others.

"Oh, then tell me what's going on on the mountain behind your house, on the six thousand acres of land?"

"Six thousand? Where there were six thousand, only four thousand, they were circled, and they told the yamen that some ravines in the mountains had not been enclosed in them. "The next person is more vigilant this time, is it here to check the land?

The old man really didn't expect that the two families of Zhang Wang did not occupy the 6,000 acres of land, but only occupied the 4,000 acres of Feng, someone had already said before coming, many people are staring at this side of the matter, and they will not come over as usual, these days are not feeling well, just come to see, I heard that the scenery here is good, there are so many people in the ministry, and it is the busiest time.

"Uncle, you won't be the new county magistrate, will you? The little one advises you to take office quickly, don't find fault here, the Zhuangzi here has been doing things according to the rules of the imperial court, your county government has been repaired, especially the county order and the place where the family lives, the window paper paste is the best, the tables and chairs are also the new ones here, and the kang is also in the partial room, and the firewood is prepared for you. ”

The subordinate took it for granted that the old man was a new county magistrate, a little older, and looked good, so he kindly persuaded him, and at the same time glanced at a farmer next to him, who was also clever and turned away.

The old man thought it was interesting, answered a few times, and asked, "What else is arranged?" ”

"Arrangement? No, there is no arrangement, it is all done by the people, saying that the new county order loves the people like a son, which helped Zhang Luo. "I don't want to say too much.

"No fresh cucumbers? It would be nice to plant some cucumbers in the backyard. The old man said meaningfully.

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, "This ...... Adults take the stability of the world as their own responsibility, and maybe they can be auspicious. ”

"Then what should I do if I come here to take office as a county magistrate?" The old man asked again.

"Naturally, it is to repair water conservancy, protect the people, pave official roads, develop agricultural affairs, raise schools, and speak widely and ask diligently, especially to listen to what the people want, it is not easy to be a good official, it is not easy to say, it is easy to say, such as money, you can ...... You can think of more ways to do it. ”

The next person said smoothly, almost said that he missed his mouth, and took a step back.

The old man looked at this subordinate and said, "Who did you listen to this?" ”

"Of course it's a small ...... The little ones think about themselves, adults, you go to work quickly, work hard, within two years, you will be able to save enough achievements to be promoted, and if you have trouble, you will come to find ...... Find us, the people. ”

After the subordinate thought that the old man was a new county magistrate, he was a little excited, and his speech was not as sharp as just now.

Just when he didn't know what to do next, the Zhuang Hu who had just left ran over with Steward Zhang, seeing that the direction was Shuiyunjian, no wonder he came so quickly.

"Steward Zhang, you're here, just now this old man asked about the six thousand acres of mountainous land." The subordinate finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Steward Zhang should be more calm, after all, he was often hit by the little boy and the little lady, and he was almost to the point of not being alarmed, and waved his hand to the next person, "I know, take someone to busy, don't delay the affairs of the master's family." ”

As the Zhuang households of Zhang Wang's two families left, Ge Yingxi also gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper also gave an order to the Zhuang of the Ge family, and the surrounding Zhuang households dispersed, and when the Zhuang family dispersed, more than 20 people came, and there were also knives hanging on their waists, which felt slightly worse than the few people around the old man, but there were many people, and there were more than just guards around the old man.

Steward Zhang glanced at the people beside the old man, and said to the old man: "This old man, I don't know what to do here?" If it's a small talk, it's better to get into the water and clouds. ”

"Well, go to Shuiyunjian and lead the way, Zhang Yongcheng and Wang Qiao'er haven't arrived?" The old man changed his way of treating the Zhang family's subordinates, motioned to Steward Zhang to lead the way with a calm face, and asked about the head and wife of the Zhang family.

Steward Zhang didn't say a word, he really led the way in front and walked out dozens of steps away, so he slowed down a little, "Uncle is from Beijing?" The lord was studying at home, and the lady was busy planning trivial matters. ”

"Revising? Hum! When is the imperial examination so easy to test? Do you know the rules? The old man asked disdainfully.

Steward Zhang was not angry, he still looked peaceful, "This doesn't have to worry about the old man, Zhang's Zhuangzi naturally has his own plans, come here, go to Shuiyun first, and let him put out the signature dishes." ”

The old man looked at it, it was indeed getting late in the afternoon, and he didn't shirk it, and continued to walk forward, but the other party's butler didn't seem to hear it.

Waiting for the group to come to the door of the water cloud room to enter, there was a slight sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the old man's guard reacted quickly, immediately alerted, and after more than a dozen breaths, he saw two horses and one person coming over there, and the situation was a change of car galloping.

As the distance got closer, it could be seen that the person who came was dressed in tight clothes, and the rope that tied his hair had long since disappeared, his long hair was flying, and he was holding a horsewhip, and he was still whipping.

When he was a few feet away, the man pulled the reins hard, sat down and got up straight, and called out slightly, and the man on the horse pressed the horse's head, and his legs were forked, and he flew directly from the horse's head that stood up.

When he landed, he stumbled under his feet, took out a letter from his arms, forced the ups and downs of his chest, and shouted loudly, "On the order of the little waiting master, I will send a flying letter for the little son of the Zhang family." ”

"Someone, call a doctor, prepare warm tea, and get on a stretcher." As soon as Steward Zhang heard the words of the visitor, he didn't dare to slack off, and told the things that the little boy and the little lady usually ordered, took a few steps forward, and helped the person to come first, and was not in a hurry to answer the letter.

The person who came was indeed tired, if it weren't for Li Xun's close guard, if he was an ordinary person, he would be tired to death on the road, but when he came, he was three horses, and he was tired on the way, and he gasped hard, and shouted that throat, he felt salty in his mouth, and endured and said: "Letter." ”

Steward Zhang took the letter and said, "The strong man has worked hard, wait a while, there is warm water prepared over there for the strong man to brew, and there is warm tea." ”

As he spoke, someone in the restaurant had already taken out the stretcher, and the doctor, who was stationed in the restaurant and was worried that the guests would make a mistake, also rushed over and put the visitor on the stretcher, and the doctor bent over and put his hand on the wrist of the visitor.

Before entering the door, he tilted his head slightly and said to Steward Zhang: "It's just out of strength, it's okay." ”

"Okay, the doctor has bothered a lot, and ordered someone to prepare white fungus bird's nest soup for the strong man to get up and eat." Steward Zhang was relieved that the little boy and the little lady valued this kind of person the most, how could he dare to slack off?

All this was seen by the old man and the people around him, surprised by the reaction speed of Zhang's Zhuangzi, and even more surprised by the way Steward Zhang treated, if the emperor is unwell, he will not have this speed to go to the Tai Hospital to find Dr. Yi, and the doctor can come out of the restaurant? The person who reported the news can eat white fungus bird's nest soup, is the Zhang family stupid?

Steward Zhang glanced at the envelope, hesitated, and said to the old man, "Uncle, please inside." ”

"Why don't you read the letter first? Letter from the little boy, is the little boy Zhang Xiaobao on your Zhuangzi? The old man glanced at Steward Zhang's calmness.

"Don't worry, the fast delivery of the message is the speed of the soldiers, and the letter is not bad for this moment." Steward Zhang said lightly, and as if inadvertently, he handed the letter to a person from the seedling protection team who had just arrived next to him.

The man stretched out his hand to answer the letter, and someone next to him lit a thing in his arms with a fire sickle, and only to hear the 'tom boom' sound twice in a row, and a great flame appeared in the sky.

The old man looked at it suspiciously, didn't say anything, followed Steward Zhang upstairs, just entered a room on the second floor, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and looked down from the half-opened window, and saw that the horse was sitting on a person and came to the bottom of the restaurant.

"Letter from the little boy, four-star express, send it to the old lady quickly." The people of the seedling protection team had already run over, and they didn't need to get off the horse, handed over the letter, shouted, and got out of the way.

The person who came directly dialed the horse and returned to the main courtyard of Zhangjia Zhuangzi.

The old man saw all this, and smiled, "Not in a hurry? How fast is a 4-star express? How many stars are the fastest? ”

"Five stars." Steward Zhang was a little embarrassed and whispered two words.

"Five stars is an urgent report of 800 miles, right? Four-star look at the situation of changing horses and riding, at least six hundred miles, it seems that your little son is fine, otherwise it would not be a four-star, it is indeed not in a hurry, people are fine, with the family business of Zhang Wang's two families, he is not afraid of anything. ”

The old man also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and muttered something in a low voice there, but several people around him heard it.

As the guy brought the dishes one by one, Steward Zhang didn't need the guy to come to the dishes, he personally introduced to the old man, and he saw and heard the old man's demeanor and words, and felt that it should not be the person who wanted to calculate the Zhang family.

The old man did not continue to ask about the Zhang family, and talked to the housekeeper about some of the things that were repaired here, so that he could talk about his opinions, and the dishes on the table were not too much, but he tasted a few bites of everything.

After eating the cold dishes, he just nodded, "It's okay, it's a little worse than some big restaurants in Beijing." ”

When eating hot dishes, he said with satisfaction: "I heard that you have a special seasoning here, you should put some in the dish, and what other dishes are served together." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, the man brought a plate and sent it over, and when he put it on the table, the old man was finally moved, and the things on the plate could usually be seen at random, but at this time, it could only go to the south, a few straight, thorny cucumbers, and two green round eggplants.

It doesn't look like it's been washed at all, so I guess I took it off and sent it here.

"Where's the sauce?" The old man did like these two dishes, even if the eggplant was not very comfortable to eat raw.

"Uncle wants to eat sauce? The taste of the sauce has changed, come on, send three kinds of sauce. Steward Zhang said, gave a demonstration to the old man, directly picked up a cucumber, rubbed the thorns on it with his hands, put it in his mouth and bit it, and chewed it crunching.

The old man understood this time, indeed, being able to eat cucumbers like this in this season will not make people feel embarrassed at all, others can only envy when they see it, he also picked up one, and was just about to rub and eat, the head of the guard next to him came over and said:

"Adult, the small one also wants to taste it, watching the adult and Steward Zhang eat, the small one is already hungry."

"Well, then take one yourself, you don't have to grab it in my hand, Zhangjia Zhuangzi's ability disdains to use that kind of means." The old man paused for two breaths, and finally made up his mind to speak.

"Your Excellency......."

"Crunch" "It's delicious, I'll eat it when it's cold, and then it's not between the water and clouds, but the snow and clouds, can Steward Zhang agree?" ”

The old man didn't wait for the guards to stop him, he took a bite directly, and said to Steward Zhang with a smile.

Steward Zhang shook his head and replied: "No matter when the old man comes, this place is between water and clouds, even if there is a drought elsewhere, there will be no shortage of water here, the mountain is in the middle of the water on the side, and when it is cold in winter, it will make people burn charred snow and ice here." ”

"Oh? Is the price of food also high? The old man asked.

"It's the same, unless you eat greens, little ...... The small ones say that the signboard is more important. The housekeeper almost said the three words of the little boy.

At this moment, the guy hurriedly walked in from outside, still holding a scroll in his hand, and without waiting for the housekeeper to ask, he said first: "Steward Zhang, the poem written by the master, from today onwards, between the water and the clouds and Xiaoluoshui, every one of our restaurants and pavilions on the mountain must be hung."

When he came, Mrs. said that he asked Steward Zhang to contact the shop in the capital, which is not ours, and he should hang up the master's poems when he spends money, and before the New Year, find people in Beijing and send a post. ”

"Got it, hang, is there anyone you know in the old Bojing? Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi will definitely not snub the old man. "Steward Zhang understood as soon as he heard it, the little boy and the little lady are doing it, and there is an old man in front of him who looks okay, so don't you use it, wouldn't you give a table of dishes for nothing?

The old man's eyes, which had not been completely wide, had finally lifted his upper eyelids to the highest place, and said in surprise: "I see, so Li Xun is also busy?" If you have the ability, don't tell the old man, this matter has been arranged since the drought locust, give the money to the old man, and the old man will help you find someone who doesn't want to help and has to help. ”

The sunset turns with the wind, and the red sunset sets in the west. There is no insect song on the trees, just a ...... sitting at the foot of the mountain on the side of the road.

Wang Juan hummed his grandmother's Penghu Bay tune to cook, Zhang Xiaobao changed the lyrics and sang them in a mess on the side, Li Xun sat there and waited, and ate together when the meal was ready, thinking that Wang Juan's tone was good, as for Zhang Xiaobao's words, there was nothing to say.

"Li Gongzi, Juan Juan and I are going to go home tomorrow, the things here are almost done, at least we can get a period of stability, do you do that important thing first, so as not to lose confidence and can't keep up."

Zhang Xiaobao found that his words were not appreciated, so he had to stop and talk to Li Xun about things, the purpose of him and Wang Juan was to scare Yuan Xingyi and Han Yongyao, so that they could be stable for a few days, and now it seems that the effect is not bad, and in the afternoon, he has finished talking to Li Xun about building a restaurant over there.

Song Jinggong also sent someone over there and got some useful information, the person in the house is surnamed Zheng, and he doesn't seem to have much power in his family, and his father is relatively ordinary, but there is a mother whose surname is Bi, and there are two uncles.

The purpose of going here, one is to be entrusted by others to see how the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang are, and the other purpose is to learn the wharf of Xiaoluoshui, and prepare to go to the tributary of the Zhengqu River not too far from the capital to learn to get one out, there are also mountains over there, although there are more trees on it, for the power of his family, you can still try.

At the same time, Zheng Gongzi's family also has a little savings, which is more than Zhang Xiaobao's family's money, and there is no problem with taking out ten times the money.

Li Xun was a little confused when he heard this surname, and he didn't know which one it was? It wasn't until I remembered that my mother's surname was Bi and there were two uncles, so I smiled and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "If you want to fight with others, your family's foundation is far from enough, your family has Zhuangzi, that's just in charge, it's not that the new county order is coming, don't worry." ”

Zhang Xiaobao was even more puzzled at that time, and asked two questions, but Li Xun just didn't say what the person's name was, so he had to ask about the new county order instead.

Li Xun replied like this, "This Jia County Order, there is still some ability, don't say too good in government affairs, if you want to do things steadily, you generally won't make mistakes, you are a little greedy, don't worry about what you and I are doing in Shuiyunjian, this is in charge of the master."

What about Xiao Luoshui, there is no place for me, you can only think of some ways by yourself, you don't have to worry about one thing, he doesn't dare to force taxes in Sanshui County, and he doesn't dare to distribute work to the people at will, so he can only draw from some businessmen, it's better to do this, I will pay 10,000 taels to buy two percent of the shop over there in Xiao Luoshui, and you go back and talk to your family. ”

"Needless to say, my family will figure out their own way, you can take care of it in Shuiyunjian, little master, you must exert more effort, otherwise don't blame my family for making less money." Zhang Xiaobao also replied quickly at that time, and deliberately emphasized the three words of Xiao Houye.

Li Xun is not angry, others are afraid of him, even if he pretends not to be afraid, he is very respectful, only Zhang Xiaobao Wang Juan may be too young to understand this kind of right, but he always feels that it is not like it, when he speaks, he is almost as big as himself, I really can't think about it.

"It's time to eat, the last meal of the evening, and I've made all the dishes." When Wang Juan poured the rape shrimp in the pot into the bowl, she greeted Zhang Xiaobao and Li Xun, she took the initiative to do it, saying that she was the best at making this dish.

Li Xun smelled the aroma of the food, looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan seemed to be so happy, after knowing that the two of them would leave early tomorrow morning, he was a little reluctant in his heart, he always felt that when Zhang Xiaobao was together, he was not afraid of any trouble, and all the difficulties could be dealt with.

Picking up the rice bowl, Li Xun scooped two small spoons of braised pork soup and mixed it, tore off a garlic eggplant, took a few bites, and the small half bowl of rice went into his stomach, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "It stands to reason that if you two quit halfway, you are going to play the board, this Hou Ye thought about it and decided to write down the board first, how about it?" ”

"It's not good, if you say that, Juan Juan and I will follow, and then see how you give the two of us a place to pay tribute." Zhang Xiaobao replied a little politely.

Li Xun was really asked, these two children are too young, others have to be at least ten years old, and when the time comes, they will come back after seeing in Beijing, I don't expect to be admitted, and it is not impossible for teenagers to be on the list, but I really sent Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan over, as soon as they entered the examination room, just looking at the size of the two of them would make the examination room chaotic.

Li Xun already knew what Zhang Xiaobao and the two of them were doing here, pit Han Yongyao and Yuan Xingyi, and the family also moved, scaring the two of them It seems that they will be a lot more stable in the near future, it turns out that the livestock that harms other people's families can use croton to boil water first, and the jumping monkey can also have less straw, according to this view, make the jumping monkey bigger, and burn grain and grass.

I already knew in my heart that it was impossible to go to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's board, but listening to Zhang Xiaobao's words, Li Xun still felt a little weak, so he had to say: "You have eaten almost all the things you brought today, do you want to eat one thing every day in the future?" There's not enough salt, right? ”

"Who told you to bring food and other things to survive in the wild? It is enough to have a knife, and even if you don't have one, you can still survive and complete the mission. ”

Wang Juan said disdainfully, she and Zhang Xiaobao have cooperated well, it may not be possible to complete too difficult tasks, and there is no big problem in trying to survive in a place where there are no people, as long as you don't encounter wolves on the grassland.

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, said that he didn't believe it and felt that there were masters behind him, and if he believed it, he felt that it was impossible, so he had to miss this topic and said, "Isn't it possible to dig in a while?" ”

"It's okay at any time, don't dig too much, forget it, dig as much as you can, don't look at the small size of the dug, save a lot of money, and you can last for a day." Zhang Xiaobao drew it with his hand.

Li Xun nodded, ate another big bowl of rice, wiped his mouth with his sleeve heroically, and said to the other people who were watching the three of them eat vegetables with envy: "Tell you a good thing." ”

As he spoke, Li Xun came to a tree, looked up at the branches, and then began to dig under the tree with a small shovel, and said while digging, "In the summer, I know a lot about this place, and now there must be a little cub under the tree, who fell from the tree and got into the soil, and when there was nothing to eat, I dug these to eat, not to mention that I didn't tell you, when the time comes, which one will quit because I can't find something to eat, and there will be no less boards to eat." ”

The life of the surrounding children at home is not bad, where have they eaten these things, the few people who asked before now understand, no wonder the little monkey master brought vegetable oil, specifically to fry this thing to eat.

With Li Xun's demonstration, the others quickly ate the food they brought in their mouths, and also learned to dig up, especially those who persevered from the grassland, and did not feel disgusting to eat these insects at all, silkworm chrysalis can eat, the insect can eat when it is young, and this cicada can naturally eat it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not participate, in fact, the two of them originally wanted to say that the bark can also be eaten, and the grass roots are also good, think about these children, don't let them suffer this kind of crime.

At night, Han Yongyao and the others were still tired, but they were not afraid, and they would not stupidly listen to what Zhang Xiaobao said and sleep under their bodies with green grass that had not yet withered yellow.

Before going to bed, Li Xun specially asked people to write down what happened today, and then tidy it up so that he could ask his father for credit.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan covered their whole bodies with blankets, and only made a small opening at the mouth for breathing, and when it was dawn, they were not bitten by mosquitoes.

After getting up, you made a breakfast, used all the things you brought, let a few people who had a good relationship with them eat it, kicked into the carriage, and gradually drifted away under Li Xun's reluctant gaze, and the other children were very smart not to ask Li Xun why he didn't hit the board of two people.

******

A day and a half later, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finally swayed back to Zhuangzi, even if it is not as prosperous as the county seat, and there is no bustle of Xiaoluoshui, the two of them still feel that this is the best place.

"Little boy, little lady, this side has been arranged according to what you two said, the day before yesterday Zhuangzi came up to a person, the guards are much more powerful than the seedling team on Zhuangzi, they all call him an adult, but they stayed until the evening and hurried away, it seems to know the lady and the master."

Steward Zhang helped Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan open the car door, and immediately told the two of them what happened the day before yesterday.

"My lord? How big is it? Do you know what the last name is? When Zhang Xiaobao heard it, he felt that things were not simple, and asked.

Steward Zhang shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't ask, it doesn't seem to be bad for Zhuangzi, and when I left, I said that I wanted to help the master, and the old man is not like a bad person." ”

"It's not like it, the bad guy with the bad guy written on his face is definitely not a bad guy, send someone to follow?" Wang Juan never believed in looks, and there was a living example next to him.

The housekeeper nodded at this time, "It's sent, and four people from the seedling protection team are sent to follow." ”

"Oh, then it is estimated that the four people will be back soon, and coming back means that the person has not yet wanted to deal with us, or maybe he has a worse idea, and he can't come back, so don't let me know who the old man is, I have to avenge the person who went."

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao heard the housekeeper say that the people who sent him, he was a little worried, the people in the seedling protection team were all villagers, and they really wanted to follow, so it was better to send out the hunters who were recruited by the main family, of course, the best thing is to go over with Wang Juan in person, and the lurking and tracking are much stronger than the villagers.

"Little boy, are you saying they will be in danger?" The housekeeper thought about it and felt that it was not arranged at the beginning.

"There's no danger, isn't this coming back, ask them, did you lose people by the Jingshui River?" Zhang Xiaobao looked in the direction of Xiaoqiao, and the four of them rode back.

In the early winter, the first light snow fell from the sky to the earth, and as soon as it fell to the ground, the roof turned into a puddle of water, and the fowls on the Zhuangzi trembled and refused to get out of the nest, and the old yellow dog did not know where to take some strips of rag and some hay, and spread the nest himself.

Except for the evergreen pine and bober on the mountain, there seems to be no trace of greenery in the whole world, there is no frog chirping in summer and autumn, and there is no little chirping of small swallows, and there is only mud on the ground and no smell of the fragrance of the earth.

Silkworm raisers cook silk, some will spin into thread balls, and some will be put directly, this year the county does not have to hand over anything, the harvest of grain is less, but life is better.

The people who sell cold skin in the county can no longer be seen, the pancake fruit business seems to be better, and the people who sell sugar gourds also come out early, selling from dawn to dark, the thin slices of rock sugar hanging will not melt too much, it is much stronger than that of white sugar, and you can feel the crunchy taste in a bite of sweet and sour.

The workers on the Xiaoluoshui wharf are busier than in previous days, and many merchants who want to make a fortune in the winter are trying to bring in and out the freight they can receive while the river is still not freezing.

Several large shelves are propped up there, with ropes dragging on top and hooks below, which makes the throughput speed of the dock a lot faster, which makes the restaurant and shop business next to the dock also go crazy at the end.

Talented people and beautiful women seem to feel that there is nothing to write about in the poem at this time, and some of them shrink at home thinking about what to write about in the heavy snow in winter, and the only place where there are still many talented people who are willing to stay is the water and clouds.

Wang Juan deliberately used a sentence in one word above, which attracted many people before the snow: 'Who said that the cicadas are cold and the clothes are cold, but the weather is cold and autumn.' ’

Others don't know where this sentence comes from, and they don't know that the first sentence is a teenager who doesn't know the taste of sorrow, many talented people directly think of these two sentences, some poor people have no clothes to wear when it's cold, and some people are appreciating this kind of scenery, literati, always like to put their emotions in the scenery.

In addition, Shui Yunjian has launched a new dish, which makes them willing to come and taste it, and feel nostalgic while eating.

It's not that the sound of cicadas is in the heart, and the autumn silkworms are dead.

That's how the name of the dish came out, to put it simply, it's three words, and it's all right.

Zhang Xiaobao's mind was not put on this aspect, Wang Juan's own idea, judging from the fact that the guests ordered this dish one after another, it was not bad.

Originally, after the silk was drawn, the silkworm chrysalis was not eaten by ordinary people, and the farmers or themselves kept it for a few days to eat, and they could only throw it away if they couldn't eat it.

That's how Wang Juan commented on Li Shangyin, saying that looking at his poems, he was more sad, such as Jinse, good to listen to, but there is always a kind of poignancy, Wang Juan likes the sentence that the pearl of the sea and the moon has tears, and Zhang Xiaobao loves to listen to Zhuang Shengxiao's dream of butterflies.

When he said two sentences, Wang Juan also asked Zhang Xiaobao, "How is it?" Isn't my two sentences spelling particularly well? ”

"Generally, not as good as the three female voices of the Chinese department that I heard before, I didn't understand anything at that time, and when I took the train, they were there to say poetry, saying that there was a poem that was very good, especially the two sentences in it, which can be recalled, and the flowers were helpless, I was shocked at the time, and then ......."

"It turned out to be a poem and a sentence from a poem, right?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, "No, then I thought, if the surname Yan occupies the body of the surname Li, can he write a Maoling autumn rain disease similar, and the west wind withered the green tree last night?" ”

"Zhang Xiaobao, can't you leave some virtue when you speak?" Wang Juan asked with a smile.

"I'm serious, do you eat that black thing in the silkworm chrysalis?" Zhang Xiaobao said solemnly.

"Don't eat it, who eats the internal organs, have you ever seen what the silkworm chrysalis looks like after it has not been threaded?" Wang Juan asked.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, "Well, someone gave me more than fifty catties of cocoon chrysalis when I was a child, a woman, in her thirties, and adopted a sister as a daughter, but unfortunately I didn't raise it, I always felt that she was the most beautiful, and when she ate it, she fell into one, and when she was in spring, she became such a big moth, white, and burned it for me to eat." ”

"Oh, I knew that I would have left some special ones for grilling and eating, as long as it is said that brave people can eat them, then there will definitely be many men to eat, especially when there are beautiful women." Wang Juan looked remorseful.

******

How do you not know about the cold? but complained that winter was late. The single clothes are charcoal red, and the scones ask who will eat them.

"Dad, this is it, you see, it's cold, the water is not frozen, they are busy with sweat, and there is a lot of money on every trip, Dad, a few days ago, the child heard that the Zhang family sent a lot of cucumber seedlings, which have been planted in the backyard of the yamen.

They are currying favor with their father, it is better to take this opportunity to say that his Zhangjia Zhuangzi is panicking, otherwise how can there be this year? Then let people sneak into their Zhuangzi and learn the ability to grow cucumbers that winter. ”

At the dock, Jia Weiran, who had just spent two pennies to buy a scone with meat inside, said to a wealthy person next to him.

The two of them did not bring any retinue with them, and the clothes they wore were not luxurious, and they walked slowly here, and from time to time snowflakes fell, and they didn't care, just like ordinary people.

The person who was called his father by Jia Weiran was a new county magistrate, and he didn't know what he thought, so he decided to come over and take a microfu, and he ran to Sanshui County a few days before he took office.

Since Jia Weiran went back to report the news last time, he came back immediately, not in contact with those original friends, but only watched and listened at the dock, and finally let him waste all his efforts at this time, and told his father in detail about the situation here.

Jia Xianling glanced at his son, then looked at the lively scene on the dock, and said: "It's late, someone has already handed over the recipe for planting cucumbers this winter a few days ago, Zhang Yongcheng has been known to many people, this idea can't be beaten, it will cause fire." ”

"Huh? Reported up? Is his Zhang family uncomfortable and stupid? Now that you know it, why do you send cucumber seedlings to the yamen? When we can't afford to eat cucumbers? ”

Jia Weiran didn't expect that he had been thinking about the method for a few days, and it would be in vain before he could use it, and then he thought about the cucumbers that were sent to the yamen, and he couldn't swallow this breath for a while.

Jia Xianling thought a lot, and said to his son: "The report is up, if you want to plant elsewhere, you have to wait for some time before cucumbers can bear fruit, this recipe can not only grow cucumbers, but also some other green vegetables, but it is not easy to do, you need to put them together when the bees and butterflies are not dead."

The Zhang family is not stupid, if they give up this part of the money, there will be a lot less trouble, how much can the cucumber be sold in winter? How much is the pier here in Xiaoluoshui worth? Don't say that it is his two Zhuangzi, even if it is a certain prince, who dares to keep this method of growing vegetables in winter? Where did that leave the people? ”

Jia County Ling thinks more than his son, he already knew before he came, this place is not easy to stay, the previous Cheng County Commander has done almost all the good things, he can only follow when he arrives, otherwise the people will not be willing, this place is not better than other places, the prince is the history of the state assassin, close to the capital, and if something happens, he can't hide it, not to mention that the two Wang families and two seven-rank scattered officials can also hand the fold upward.

"You can't do it lightly, you can't." Thinking about it, Jia Xianling muttered quietly.

"Daddy, isn't it okay what the child said last time? They sealed 4,000 acres, but that piece of land was 6,000 acres, and they privately occupied 2,000 acres, isn't it a small crime? Jia Weiran still didn't want to give up, he always felt that he was embarrassed in the restaurant that day, even if it was two children, he had to count the children's families.

Jia County's order is still so calm, "I need to go back and look at the documents in the yamen, if I really occupy it, it will be easy to do, I am afraid that they will not occupy it, there is a wharf in Xiaoluoshui, and taxes are paid, there is no shortage of money, and I am not afraid that others will find trouble on this." ”

Jia Weiran didn't know what to say at this time, took a bite of the scone he was holding, turned it in his mouth and swallowed it, and suddenly said: "Dad, this scone is really good, there is another one sold in front, buy one for Dad to taste in a while." ”

"Well, it's cold, people here can still do business, it's better than being hungry, otherwise it will be difficult to do next year's assessment, Cheng County Ling does have some ability." Jia Xianling thought that things should be more comprehensive, and the local people would have a better life, so that he could be easier.

Jia Weiran pouted, "Dad, where is the ability of Cheng County, this scone has a special seasoning from Zhangjia Zhuangzi, and I don't know how they got it, it seems that the seasoning is a little different when making a dish, the child has found someone to taste it, probably a few things can be tasted, and more will not work." ”

"Why is that?" Jia really doesn't know.

"The child is looking for someone to smell the seasoning, the person who smells it keeps sneezing, looking for someone to taste, saying a few things that are easy to taste, not waiting to eat again, the mouth will be numb, and the taste can not be distinguished, the child let people use those kinds of dishes to make a dish, put less taste wrong, put more that I don't know the taste is wrong, or eat diarrhea, or dry, listen to people who know how to say, this seasoning is also yin and yang."

Jia Weiran was depressed as soon as he talked about this, the seasoning for fish is absolutely different from that for meat, and the one in this scone is also different, and there are those that are specially filled and boiled for soup, and I don't know how Zhuangzi came up with so many means.

When Jia Xianling heard it, he felt that this was right, and pointed to a place in front of him that sold pancakes and fruits, "Go there and buy a pancake fruit and come back, I heard that it was delicious before I came." ”

"Where it is delicious, it is nothing more than a little salty sauce, more chopped green onions, and everything that the poor eat is delicious." Jia Weiran muttered and walked over there.

"Isn't this Brother Jia? I haven't seen you for a few days, what is Brother Jia busy with? Before Jia Weiran could get to the place, a sudden voice next to him startled him.

Jia Weiran was afraid that others would recognize him, in case he let Zhangjia Zhuangzi know that his father had arrived, it would be difficult to do, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw a person wearing coarse linen clothes and pigskin boots on his feet smiling at himself.

Jia Weiran thought about it carefully, but didn't remember who this person was? Judging from this dress, it was far from his identity, and he asked suspiciously, "...... are you?" ”

"Brother Jia, why don't you remember me? I'm Ma Liu, you really forgot about me, pretending, pretending to be with me, right? Last year, when the five of us were carrying work for others in Luoshui together, didn't you say that you wanted to make money elsewhere, and I and Yang Si and I have been over there, and then we ran here again.

What, made money? Well, see that your clothes are better than mine, don't pretend, no matter what you want money, go, I'll find them all today, let's go to the barbecue point next to the first house in Linshui to roast some radishes to eat, and then order two pieces of stinky tofu, and have a bowl of wine.

You're still stunned, don't you love stinky tofu the most? A piece of stinky tofu can be eaten for half a month, Niu Wu said at that time, good tofu for you to eat, and it became stinky after eating, you, go, I invited. ”

This person who claimed to be Ma Liu came over and wanted to pull Jia Weiran over there, Jia Weiran had never heard of these messy names, it seemed to be related to animals, seeing that this person stretched out his hand that didn't know what he rubbed and couldn't see the color to pull himself, he took two steps back in fright, and said:

"Wait, why don't I remember you? Tell me, what's my name? ”

"They all said that you don't need to take the money, and you still ask back and forth, our brothers were not like this at the beginning, no matter how much money you have, we won't ask for it, doing things at this dock, making a lot of money a day, aren't you surnamed Jia, right?" Ma Liu was a little dissatisfied, withdrew his hand and said.

"yes, then what's my name?" Jia Weiran thinks he has a hypothesis? I don't have any impressions.

Ma Liu's two big hands clapped "That's right, the surname Jia is right, your name is Jia Yi, let's call you a soft-shelled turtle, when you were a child, you and we swam in the river, and a Wang Ba opened his mouth and bit you underneath, you still said it yourself, that Wang Ba is a mother, remember?" ”

"Phew! I don't care what kind of horse you are, stay away from me, I don't know you, you recognize the wrong person. "Jia Weiran is so angry in his heart, when did he swim with someone and be bitten by Wang Ba? With a wide eye in the eye, he walked two quick steps to the place where the pancakes were sold, and looked vigilantly at the man standing there with a puzzled face.

"Hey~! Since Brother Jia doesn't want to recognize each other, then forget it, I really saw the wrong person at the beginning, I went to find Niu Wu, come to someone, prepare the car. The horse shook his head regretfully, and waved back as he spoke, and there were three luxurious carriages over there, each of which was drawn by four horses, and at first glance it was not a carriage or horse.

Jia Weiran looked at the car and stopped beside the person who had just spoken to him, and two people jumped out of the second car, a man and a woman, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, saluted respectfully to the man, and after the man got into the car, the three cars left one after another.

Jia Weiran raised his hand, touched his head, and muttered, "It's not hot." ”

"Who said it's not hot, the freshly made pancakes and fruits, you can't buy them, don't block them if you don't buy them, just pay for them, and exchange them for things, faster." The pancake seller seemed to think that his things were not hot, and said something dissatisfied.

Jia Weiran was still confused, took out the money to buy this pancake fruit, and was about to go back, when suddenly a person came over next to him, and when he was about to pass by him, he said in surprise: "Brother Jia, hahahaha, I finally found you, what are you busy these days?" ”

Jia Weiran took a step back again, looked at the person in front of him, he didn't know either, remembered that the last person who carried the work just now left in three luxury carriages, and then looked at the person in front of him wearing light green satin clothes, he didn't dare to slack off for a while, and replied with a smile: "I'm not busy, I'm hungry, buy a pancake fruit to eat, what are you busy with?" ”

He wanted to add a title, but unfortunately he didn't know what this person's last name was.

The man smiled, "Brother Jia, have you been short of money lately?" How do you eat pancake fruit? Let's go, follow me to the first place in the water next to the barbecue restaurant to eat something, I'll give you your favorite stinky tofu, and a few brothers shouted together, you're like that, eat four or five pieces of stinky tofu at a time, and you can't eat if you don't have it, and you usually smell stinky, go. ”

"I've eaten four or five dollars in one meal? Isn't it half a month to eat together? Jia Weiran felt that he was not in the world at this time, and said what the person said before.

The man waved his hand and said, "Could it be that Brother Jia has fallen to such a point now?" A piece of stinky tofu can be eaten for half a month, Brother Jia, you ...... Ay~! Don't worry, brother will find you something to do, but you can't live like this. ”

"What are you looking for to do?" Jia Weiran asked.

"Carrying the work, you see, I took off this clothes, how about it, is it carrying the work? It's good to carry the work, there is a good meal that can be eaten for two or three pennies, what about two meals a day, do you want to go? When the man took off his clothes, he saw that he was shirtless inside, and that there were calluses on his shoulders.

Jia Weiran shook his head: "Don't go." ”

"Really? Okay, you can eat your pancakes, I'm leaving, oops, another boat, Brother Jia, see you another day. The man ran over there as he spoke, taking off his shoes as he ran.

Jia Weiran stood on the ground, holding a pancake fruit in his hand, blinking, not knowing what to do, and after a while he remembered that he was buying something for his father, and when he looked up, there was no one on the place where his father was standing, and when he looked around, he also did not find his father.

He's really stupid this time, what about my father? It was still there just now, and in a panic, Jia Weiran began to look around, ran here to see, and then went there to take a look, but he still couldn't see his father.

"Brother Jia, what are you looking for?" Just when Jia Weiran was in a hurry, a voice sounded behind him.

"Don't lie...... Liar, Brother Zhou, why are you here? "Jia Weiran met now, Zhou Xihu, I thought that someone came to invite him to eat stinky tofu again.

Zhou Xihu looked at Jia Weiran carefully and said, "My home is here, where can I go if I'm not here?" Seeing that Brother Jia looked anxious, could it be that the beautiful woman who was following him was gone? Brother Jia tell me, what does a beautiful woman look like? I'll help find it. ”

Jia Weiran wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, could it be said that he followed his father here to serve in micro-clothes? What do the officials and the Lord Bo and others in the yamen think?

"Brother Jia, can't you tell what he looks like? It's better to go to the first place in Linshui to see, the beauty is hemp, she usually likes to go to that place, and there are many talents. Zhou Xihu continued to persuade, preparing to pull Jia Weiran over there.

"No, it's impossible, I, I'm just hanging out, don't look for someone, Brother Zhou is busy." Jia Weiran didn't dare to say it, so he could only endure the anxiety in his heart perfunctory.

Zhou Xihu didn't force it, and said: "Okay, if Brother Jia has anything here, you can go to the first place in Linshui and let people go to me, but if you can help, I will definitely not shirk it, oh, there is a new fried stinky tofu in the first place in Linshui, Brother Jia has time to try it." ”

After speaking, Zhou Xihu walked away, Jia Weiran was stunned again, why did anyone who saw him have to say stinky tofu?

The father is gone, so naturally he wants to look for it, Jia Weiran began to expand the scope of his search, walked to the place of the yamen, didn't find it all the way, and turned back to the Qianwei Town Water Residence on the other side, but he didn't see it, and turned around and walked to the innermost shop on the other side of the dock, but he couldn't find a shadow either.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, in desperation, Jia Weiran had no choice but to walk towards the first house in Linshui, wanting people to ask Zhou Xihu for help, in case something happened to his father, it would be serious.

"Jia Gongzi, are you here too? Do you want to eat stinky tofu from a restaurant? Mr. Jia, please. The guy who was waiting at the dock to pick up people also said this when he saw Jia Weiran.

Jia Weiran was already numb, walked on the boat, didn't say a word, let the boat carry him to the restaurant, entered the door, kicked up to the second floor, and immediately another guy came over, and said to Jia Weiran: "Jia Gongzi, I haven't seen you here for a long time, the stinky tofu has been prepared for you, and it is in the third place on the third floor." ”

No. 3 on the third floor, Jia Weiran knew that it was the room he always came to some time ago, and while following the guy up, he asked, "How did Zhou Xihu find it?" ”

"Are you looking for Mr. Zhou? Zhou Gongzi is still here, are you in a hurry? The guy asked with concern.

"Well, I'll find someone." Jia Weiran felt a little prostration, and ran for so long.

"Coincidentally, Jia Gongzi is also looking for someone, there is a person here just now, also surnamed Jia, the lord Bo and the county Cheng in the yamen came with him, saying that he was looking for someone, they went to room No. 4 together, the lord Bo and the county Cheng still call him an adult, and I don't know what the official is." The guy said there.

Jia Weiran grabbed the guy, "What did you say?" The lord of the yamen, Bo and the county, is called an adult with the surname Jia? ”

"Yes, doesn't Jia Gongzi know that person? Talk to the little ones. The guy replied excitedly.

"Take me to room four, forget it, I'll go by myself." Jia Weiran ran over there as he spoke.

The guy shouted in the back, "Master Jia, your stinky tofu was sent to you too?" ”

Jia Weiran didn't care about any stinky tofu, rushed to the place, pushed open the door and saw his father with a helpless and anxious look, and two people sitting there to accompany him, it was the lord of Sanshui County and the county Cheng.

"Dad, how did you get here?" Jia Weiran breathed a sigh of relief and asked suspiciously.

"Hey, it's good if you're here, eat something first, and I'll take office tomorrow." Jia Xianling said with a sigh.

When Jia Weiran heard his father's words, he didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that there were outsiders next to him, he couldn't say some things now, so he had to nod and come to his father's side and sit down.

"Jia Gongzi is also here, just now the two of us also told the county magistrate, Jia Gongzi will be fine, Jia Gongzi, tell me, where did you go, did you get kidnapped by someone? Since Cheng County's order left, there has been a lot of chaos in Sanshui County, but there are not enough people. ”

Zhang Mingsheng, the county minister, said to Jia Weiran with a concerned face.

The first thing that Jia Weiran thought of was that if the yamen recruited people again, the money in the yamen would be even less, and now there are hundreds of people, and they will still recruit? How many people are there in Sanshui County? He had to object: "Zhang Xiancheng, I think the security in Sanshui County is good, why do you need to find someone?" ”

"It's not right for Jia Gongzi to say this, hearing is false, seeing is believing, the county magistrate has a deep understanding, if it weren't for the officials in the yamen who happened to see the situation wrong, maybe this Sanshui County would have to change the county order, and then find two hundred officials, in fact, it is not much.

Xiao Luoshui is enough here, I heard that the place between the water and clouds is going to repair the restaurant again, and there are many people who go there, what if someone is in danger? Isn't it an adult? ”

Lord Bo Zhao Xiang also followed and said, he is now angry, he should have been promoted, but now it's good, there is another one, and no one can be happy.

Jia Xian Ling sat helplessly, looked at his son, and then looked at the two people opposite, and nodded, "Zhao Zhubo and Zhang Xiancheng are right, they should indeed recruit two hundred more officials, just when you went to buy something, your father was covered with a mouth, covered with a sack and kidnapped away, if there are two more officials, how can this kind of thing happen?" ”

"Huh? Dad, are you kidnapped? Just for a moment? How did this happen? Isn't there anyone around to see it? Jia Weiran opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief.

"Jia Gongzi, this proves that those bad guys are bold, and it doesn't matter if there are people around, let alone where they are, Jia Gongzi is so close, don't you see it?" Zhang Xiancheng further said.

Jia Weiran thought about the situation at that time, and thought about the appearance of his father now, the expressions of the county and the lord, and understood everything, he and his father should have been discovered when they came here, and the yamen kept taking money out, probably preparing to spend almost the money when his father took office.

Now that I and my father are here, the money has not been spent, so I can only use this method to send someone to guide me, and I will tie up my father over there, if my father takes office, he dares to tie up the county order, and the entire yamen will be implicated, but the problem is that he has not taken office, he came secretly, who knows who you are, and if you are tied, you can justifiably add the official service, and the money will be spent.

Jia Weiran felt sad in his heart, today he has seen how powerful people are, and he discussed with his father just now how to calculate others, which is clearly a joke, no wonder his father agrees, otherwise this matter will spread out, where will his father's face go?

Thinking of this, Jia Weiran could only choose a temporary compromise and said, "I don't know where the county Cheng and the lord Bo are going to put the newly recruited 200 officials?" ”

Zhang Xiancheng opened his mouth and said: "One hundred people will be placed on the side of Tuqiao Village, fifty people will be placed in the yamen to obey orders, and the other fifty people will naturally be put in the place where the county commander is in danger." ”

"One hundred and fifty people are dedicated to doing things for him and Zhang Wang? No, it has to be distributed elsewhere. "Jia Weiran's hatred, the recruiter endured it, and he recognized the money, but he actually divided so many people to do things for the Zhang and Wang families, and they were even more good.

This time, without waiting for the county Cheng and the lord Bo to speak, Jia County Ling taught a lesson: "Weiran, what do you mean by doing things for others? Aren't these two places Sanshui County? Hugh is going to talk nonsense. ”

"Yes." Jia Weiran didn't dare to say it again, this time he didn't calculate the people, let the family calculate, the original local bridge village has already sent a few officials, and now there are a hundred at once, and it will be stable in the future, does the relationship between the officials in the yamen and them need to be said?

There is nothing important to say next, after all, Jia County Commander has not yet taken office, and he will talk about it when he is in office, he hastily ate something, and made an appointment that Jia County Commander will leave the county first tomorrow, and then bring the team over, and then they will disperse.

Jia Weiran didn't eat the stinky tofu, followed his father away, and when he saw that no one was close to him outside, he said to his father: "Dad, you just let them bully like this?" I just can't swallow it. ”

Jia Xianling's face was not very good-looking, and he pursed his mouth, "How about swallowing?" What if you can't swallow it? The two of us came secretly, and we were immediately targeted, which is to tell us, don't be careful, stay in office honestly, otherwise something may not happen. ”

"What then? Can only stay honestly? This is not the Sanshui County of the past, Dad, you can come here, and you don't spend less money, if you don't earn that money back, won't you lose money? Jia Weiran felt uncomfortable when he thought that his original plan was going to go down the drain, and the wharf here can be described as a daily profit.

"Let's take a look first, it's not in a hurry, it's not about to leave, wait for the opportunity, I don't believe that their Yamen and Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi will be so clean? As long as evidence is found, Sanshui County will change. Jia Xianling is also distressed about money, and he can't catch it when he sees it, which makes people sad.

******

The main Bo Zhaoxiang and the county minister Zhang Mingsheng were also talking at this time, but the mood of the two people was different from that of Jia Countyling's father and son.

"Brother Zhang, this time it's really relieved, I didn't plan to do it at the beginning, who knew that the two of them got in by themselves, saving a lot of things, tomorrow when we meet the county order, let him know how powerful Sanshui County is, if you want to make money easily, do things well first, and let the people be satisfied."

Zhao Xiang said to Zhang Mingsheng with a smile, and let out a long breath, feeling that this day was not so cloudy, and it was still a little cool.

Zhang Mingsheng also had a smile on his face, and replied: "Brother Zhao is right, this is not in office, so he is worried about the money, don't let them know that it is powerful, and the people in the county still have a good life?" Zhang Wang's family spent so much effort to find temporary work for the people to do, and they had a lot of income, but they were stirred up twice, and they will be good in the future? ”

After saying this, Zhang Mingsheng suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Brother Zhao, how much money is left in the yamen?" ”

"You don't know a county? You ask me? There are not many, there are probably a thousand or so, waiting to recruit the officials, and equip the officials with horses and weapons, it is estimated that it is not enough, and the money and weapons of the officials will almost be spent, and the horses are not worthy. ”

Zhao Xiang teased Zhang Mingsheng, but still told the money in the yamen, he knew that Zhang Mingsheng deliberately asked like this, just to let him say it, let him be happy again, didn't the new county magistrate want to be greedy for money? Squeezed him down, this makes you greedy.

The yamen has been repaired, and the problem of eating for the yamen is also easy to handle, so let Xiao Luoshui send the thing called 'buffet', or borrow it from others with the next month's Yulu, as long as it is dedicated to the merchants in Sanshui County, such as Zhou Xihu's house, as well as the original three signboard restaurants, you can borrow it, and you will have to pay it back as soon as the tax is collected.

Of course, this has to be said to the state first, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble, waiting for the full report when the tax is paid at Xiaoluoshui Wharf next year, and waiting for the top to go down.

Zhang Mingsheng smiled again and said, "Then what are we recruiting so many servants for?" The farthest place in the county will also have a servant in an hour, Zhangjia Zhuangzi has its own seedling protection team, this name is good, people hear it is related to farming.

Coupled with the fact that the imperial nephew is also there, may the Li family Zhuangzi not have any protective manpower? More than 100 officials were thrown over there, and it was really useless. ”

"If you can use it, then Zhangjia Zhuangzi will find a way to arrange these people, and the same will be true for the extra people in Xiaoluoshui, let's go, hurry up and go back to prepare, write out the rewritten proclamation, and let the people know about the new county order."

Zhao Xiang is not worried that there are too many people and there is no place to make it, this idea was still given by the Zhang family at the beginning, not to be used today, it happened to be bumped into today, so take it out and use it.

The two of them left happily, someone had already sent the matter of the county order to Zhangjiazhuangzi as quickly as possible, and it was estimated that it would arrive at night, this was not in a hurry, and it didn't take eight hundred miles.

******

At night, it was snowing again, much heavier than during the day, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not go to the kang, it was too early, only a brazier was added to the room, and the two of them were learning in front of the desk, and they had just written half a piece of paper, and the person who delivered the letter from the yamen came here.

"I didn't expect it, this Jia County Order is quite interesting, and I actually played a private interview with Weifu, but I didn't play it well and missed it." Zhang Xiaobao looked at the letter written over there and said to Wang Juan.

Wang Juan smiled: "So, he really wants to fight the idea of our dock?" Then let's not give him benefits, otherwise let him know that we always give benefits to the officials, and it's time to find trouble with the officials. ”

"Send, you must send, the fungus will be sent first, hasn't the cucumber been moved some, and then send some other daily use, just don't give him money, being an official is not enough to rely on that little money at all, let's get things done in his life, and his money will be used to usher in the send."

Zhang Xiaobao doesn't want to do so much, how to say that he has to leave a way for others to live, the more things he does in his position that are beneficial to Sanshui County, the more benefits he will have, let him develop a habit, as for whether he can succeed, I don't know.

Wang Juan also agreed with this idea: "Okay, let's see what he will do then, it can be regarded as a temptation." ”

The next day, the snow began to fall in the evening, and the snow did not stop until noon.

The people of Sanshui County, who were close to the county government, gathered, followed the county lord, the county and a group of others, and stood in the snow three miles outside the county seat of Sanshui County, waiting for the arrival of the new county order.

Zhang Xiancheng wrote some things about the new county order yesterday, and the whole piece of paper was written about the good of the new county order, saying that he loved the people like a son, said that he was strategizing, and said that he could bring a better life to the people.

The people didn't know that the new county order was ready to take a look at it yesterday, so as to find a way to be greedy for money, I really thought that it was like what the county Cheng wrote, and the people who didn't know the words pulled the people who knew the words to read the content of the notice, and their faces were full of happiness.

They don't have too many requirements, as long as they can be like Cheng County's order, and what it looks like during this time, everyone in the family can do odd jobs when they are idle and have a good year, which is their greatest wish.

Jia Weiran and his father came out yesterday, and they are going back today, the two of them don't dare to delay too much, this time they learned smartly, brought a few people from the family, and more family members were behind, and they drove all the way.

"Dad, what do you think will happen when you get to the place today? Can we not meet a single person, only us in the past alone? And as soon as you took over, a lot of people outside came to complain, or was it a trivial matter? Your desk is full of paperwork, from a few years ago to the present, a foot high? ”

Jia Weiran said worriedly, thought about it and added: "When you gave the order, there were obviously so many officials, but they said that they were sick and couldn't come. ”

Jia Xianling doesn't know what kind of things can happen, what his son said seems to be right, usually some people below don't want people sent from above to use this seemingly simple and very useful means, and there are not many people who can survive.

After pondering for a while, he said to his son: "Don't be afraid, then find a way to deal with it." ”

Jia Weiran was in a bad mood, and he knew that he could only do so.

The hearts of the people who followed him to protect him were not so calm, they were not stupid, they knew that the lord came to be an official this time, he used means, maybe he lived in a dilapidated house, and there was no good food.

A group of people with their own hearts, gradually approached the county seat, four miles away, because of the heavy snow, can not see the situation in front clearly, the surrounding white boundless, but as the team gets closer and closer, everyone finally saw the situation in front, countless people stood in the snow, looking at this side.

The people over there should have also seen them, and under the leadership of some people wearing the same clothes, they greeted them here, and this scene frightened Jia Weiran and the others, thinking that they were going to come and besiege them.

"Master, look at the clothes, it should be the official of Sanshui County, there are so many." A person who was following the car reported to Jia County, who was raising the curtain and looking out.

"Yes, I see, stop." Jia County's heart was bumpy, but he had to make an appearance.

"Sanshui County Lord Bo Zhaoxiang (Zhang Mingsheng) came to greet the county commander, welcome the adults, please start." Zhang Mingsheng and Zhao Xiang came to the car at the same time and said to Jia County Ling in the car.

As soon as the two men had finished speaking, the officials and the people were at the same time chatting in a disorderly manner, and gave way to the road, and stood on either side.

Jia Xianling, who was originally sitting in the car and didn't know what to expect, couldn't sit still anymore, even if he planned to make a big deal here when he came, he had to be moved to see so many people greeting him in the heavy snow.

The lord Bo and the county Cheng came to greet them, and said that they would give themselves a face, and the officials came for fear that they would embarrass them when they took office in the future, but the people also came, I don't know if it was the arrangement of the yamen, anyway, this time it was a beautiful time.

Unable to sit still, he got out of the car, looked at the official with a serious and slightly respectful expression, and then looked at the happy faces of the people, and he immediately knew that the people were not forced to come, walked forward for some distance, came to a seven- or eight-year-old child who was snuggled up to the adults at home, squatted down and asked:

"What's the name of the little baby and how old is it? Is it cold? ”

The child was a little scared, so he hid back, poked his head out of his father's waist, and said in a crisp voice: "My name is Li Xiaoshu, I am seven years old, cold, and it will be cold when the wind blows. ”

The child's innocent appearance, as well as the slightly trembling body, made Jia Xianling speechless for a while, he could feel the expectant eyes of the people around him, and wanted to say that he was a good official, but he felt a little against his will, saying that he was not a good official? Are you kidding.

While the children were waiting, Jia County Ling finally spoke, "I don't know if it's a good official, I'll do things well." ”

As he spoke, he untied the big shackle on his body, put it on the child's body, and touched the child's head again, then stood up and said to the person behind him: "Go in with the official." ”

With him leading the way, other people who were originally on the horse also came down and led away, Jia Weiran followed stupidly, he thought of many things that he would encounter, but he never thought that it would be like this, being embraced by so many people, the cold wind was small, and his body was warm, but he was not comfortable in his heart.

glanced at the lord Bo and the county, and could only secretly praise the power of the people, so many people were greeting Feixue, if they really did something in the future, what would the people say at that time? The Zhang family and the Wang family have two seven-grade officials, and when the time comes, they will unite the people with 10,000 people to write a book, not to mention that it is a county order, and the history of the assassin must also be taken down, especially if it is so close to the capital.

Thinking of this, Jia Weiran came to the side of the county and said in a low voice: "Good calculation." ”

Zhao Mingsheng also replied, "Good official." ”

I walked for three miles, and the moment I entered the county seat, the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, and there were many people waiting along the street, and when they saw that the new county order was coming, they let out bursts of cheers, and the children were also laughing and jumping happily there.

Jia Xianling smiled and gestured to the people on both sides, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, he could think that today's events, many people would know, people in the state, and even people in the court, maybe in a few days there would be a reward, and all the people knew that he was a good official.

Good officer? Ah~! Amazing, this is more powerful than what his son thought before, a good official can't be greedy for money, he can't think about himself, otherwise he will .......

Thinking about things in his heart, this road seems so long, and he finally came to the yamen, he already knows that it looks very bright from the outside, but he really doesn't know what it looks like inside, and his son can't inquire about it.

With entering the main hall, it is not bad to see this, Jia Xianling is quite satisfied in his heart, after a handover, the people dispersed happily, and the group began to look at the place where they will live in the future, and they are not very stable in their hearts.

"Huh? Dad, this, this is where our family will live in the future? When he came to the back, Jia Weiran saw the neat bluestone bricks on the ground, the withered flowers and plants on both sides, the beautiful courtyard walls painted, the newly tiled house, the curved path leading to the back, and the upright locust trees, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Jia Xianling was also surprised, looking at the courtyard that had just been repaired, he didn't expect the yamen to treat him like this, waiting to bypass the courtyard in front, and when he entered the second courtyard in the back, he was even more suspicious that he had gone to the wrong place.

The road is still paved with green bricks, and the road is lined with yellow sand, and there is a flower bed on the left, and the moon gate leading to another courtyard on the right, which is clean and tidy.

When you pass through the Moon Gate, you will see that the path in front of you is crooked again, and there is a small pond, and there is a corridor leading to it, and in the middle of the pond there is a pavilion, and on the other side of the pavilion there is a clump of plum blossoms, and wind chimes hang on the hexagonal line, which rings with the wind.

"Your Excellency, please come here." A servant walked in front, leading Jia Xianling and the others to turn around the path a few times, and came to another place surrounded by trees, where there were some curtains around them, and there were people around to clear the snow from time to time, and before they could see the contents inside, a fragrant smell of cucumbers wafted over.

"My lord, this is a cucumber prepared for you, you can pick fresh and eat it, go to the pavilion over there to cook wine and watch the snow and enjoy the plums." The official introduced.

"Oh, okay, Zhang Xiancheng, I don't know why?" Jia Xianling suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Zhang Mingsheng, who was following behind.

Zhang Mingsheng looked puzzled: "What did the adults say?" ”

Jia Xianling knew that he was doing it on purpose, so he had to pick it out and say, "Why is the official's place so well repaired?" ”

"That's what your lord is asking? It's not very good, it's just a person to live, you can't let the adult's family live in the yard, this is the meaning of the people in the county, the adult is a good official, of course, you have to repair the place for the adult, it's cold, in case the adult is frostbitten, the people will suffer. ”

Zhang Mingsheng, the county magistrate, said the reason, but no one around believed it.

"My lord, besides, in the future, someone in the yard will bring some ordinary food from time to time, all of which are spontaneous by those who are traders." Zhao Xiang added on the side.

"Well, thank you very much."

Jia County Commander can't say anything else, he now completely understands, the people here, to be precise, the Zhang family just doesn't let him be greedy for money, the benefits can be given to you, so that you can live well, for you to eat and drink, you just do things honestly, when you are the county order, don't stretch out your hand, otherwise it will .......

*****

Add a chapter.

The road ahead begins, and the day of sleep is late. Looking at Zhongning County, there is nothing to do.

At three o'clock in the morning, Jia County, who had just been in office for less than five days, yawned and got out of the warm quilt, was served to freshen up, eat breakfast, put on official clothes, strolled around the garden, went to the front lobby to have a look, and sat on a chair in the middle to drink a bowl of tea.

Looking at the guards at the door who dozed off from time to time, he asked blankly, "Why don't you go to the dock for a while?" ”

"If the adults want to go, the small ones should go with the adults, and if they want to change places, the small ones will let people buy cars and prepare horses." The official shook his head and replied a little sober.

"Oh, okay, then let's go elsewhere today, go up the river, walk around at will, you don't need a car, but someone will come to complain?" Jia Xianling asked hopefully.

The official still shook his head, "Back to the adult, no one complained, the adult ruled Qingming, and the people lived in peace, but if there were outsiders, they didn't dare to make trouble when they saw the county officials patrolling back and forth." ”

Jia Xian Ling stopped talking, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes, and sat there for a nap, but he couldn't help but think about things, he was too idle, he had been here for five days, and his mother and his wife had been boasting that they had found a good place to be officials, the garden was beautiful, the house was comfortable to sleep, and the food and drink were not bad, and the materials sent from the restaurant The cook at home only needs to do what he is taught.

Even the twelve-year-old daughter said that she didn't have to work, but didn't she, she didn't do anything for a day, these days, she went out for a walk every day, it was prosperous, and the people she saw always had a smile on her face.

Occasionally, a beggar from outside on the street, kneeling in the snow, within half an hour, a servant came to ask if he was willing to do things elsewhere, and if he was willing, he went to the yamen to make up for a registration and sent it to the state.

If there is a beggar who is unwilling to find something to do, the official will be driven out of Sanshui County directly, and others will not be able to find anything for this.

Don't worry about it, it's idle, but what are you doing in Sanshui County? There is no money in the treasury, and the food in the official on weekdays is supplied by the Xiaoluoshui wharf, and his own family is too, so he doesn't need to spend a penny, and he is in charge of food and clothing.

There is also a county in the often closed, this is the more than the system, but the state is not investigated, there is a lot of grain in it, the grain is expensive, the cheap is collected, Sanshui County is stable, as long as you are willing to put the seal here for people to stamp at will, you can go to the mountains and waters, and you don't have to spend your own money.

But what's the point? I want to make an excerpt, sue the county merchants for private supply to the government, but I saw the 10,000 people table on the bookcase, and it was written elsewhere, so I had to fill in a name, and as soon as my fold went up, the people in the county would fill in their names and hand it over, and then the people in the county felt their kindness, so they contributed money to confess, and they were the first to be cleaned up.

"Tong boy, are you okay?" When the fire was burning in the Lingwo of Jia County, an old woman came to the door of the yamen hall, and asked the yasmen sitting there, but she didn't seem to see anyone sitting in the hall.

"Aunt Hong, why did you come out? It's cold outside, go back quickly, and let Brother Hong come over if you have something. The servant opened his eyes, looked at the old lady, and persuaded with concern.

Jia Xianling was in good spirits, thinking that someone was going to sue, so he snapped, slapped the wood, and asked the person at the door, "Who is suing?" The left and right officials were quickly brought to the hall. ”

The old lady and the official were taken aback at the same time, the official looked at the old lady, and then looked at the county magistrate, and didn't know what to say, but the old lady helped him out of the siege, squinting at the people sitting in the hall.

said: "Don't sue, don't trouble adults, I'm looking for a boy to help kill pigs at home, there is only one boy and daughter-in-law at home, the neighbors are busy, they can't tie up the pigs, and they will come back in a while, adults, you are busy." ”

'I'm not busy' Jia Xian Ling muttered in his heart, and said in his mouth: "It turned out to be such a big thing, Tong Yong, go with this official to check." ”

Jia Xianling is really idle and troublesome, finally there is something to do, killing a pig to see is better than sitting here, throw down a sentence, turn around and go back to change into civilian clothes, in case the blood on the body is not easy to wash.

It didn't take long for Jia to rush over, and he also took a small basin in his hand, and when he went back to meet his mother just now, his mother said that she wanted to eat blood tofu, so she gave a small basin and took two pennies to take some back.

The old lady led the way, Jia County Ling followed, the official guarded the side, and the three of them left the yamen and went to the old lady's house to kill the pig.

Jia Xianling is very happy, this is the first time he has personally done government affairs since he took office, oops, it's not easy.

As he was walking, Jia Xianling found that there was a person in front of him who seemed to be stealing another person's things, and his hand had reached out to the person's waist, and there was a small blanket there, a big case, Jia Xianling flashed this word in his mind, touched the official next to him, and pointed forward.

"This should be an outsider, look at the clothes, the family is not rich, adults don't have to worry, in a few days this person will find a job in the county to do, the first time, I haven't dared to touch someone's small bag."

The official has already seen it, and he will catch someone else who is stolen, and the person who sees the theft does not have to worry about him, it turned out to be a thief in the county, and then he stopped stealing, and specially prepared some gadgets for the restaurant of Zhangjia Zhuangzi, those hands are so skillful, and he can earn three or four times of money in a month, which is amazing.

"He deserves to be caught and put in jail." Jia County's order wanted to convict people.

"My lord, there is no one in the prison, the original, the person who committed the crime has been taken to the state, and the light one has all been released to do things, it is better to save one person than to save one, the first time that person stole something, he was just to let him know that he would be a good man in the future, and if he was not arrested at this time, he would also be a good man."

The official can only persuade that this person will be sent to Zhou Xihu if he is caught, Zhou Xihu has been short of manpower, if this person repents and does not make a big mistake, he will arrange something to do, if he does not repent, he will be escorted to work, locked up and given him food.

Sure enough, as the official said, the person who wanted to steal finally started after hesitating a few times, and as soon as the hand touched someone's pocket, he was grabbed and twisted, and scolded him: "Blind your dog's eyes, do you still want to make a move in front of me?" I don't know who is in charge of this street? They stole it from me. ”

Jia Xianling was stunned for a moment, it was too fast, he was caught all of a sudden, and walked forward happily, the people around him did not come up to see the excitement like in other places, and the people who were doing business on the street shook their heads, lamenting that the kid was unlucky.

Stealing in front of the thief, Mo said that he stole a thief, and stealing someone else's will also be caught, originally the county so loafers began to watch after they changed it, and they didn't allow others to attack the people in the county.

Even the patrol officials who had already seen the situation stood aside, without any intention of stepping forward.

"This big brother, you let me go, I don't dare anymore, it's my first time." The captor cried and begged, sweat oozing from his forehead from the pain in his hand.

Jia Xianling saw that his subordinates didn't listen to him, and he had no choice but to ask the officials around him, "What about those who robbed or killed people?" Could it be that there has never been that kind of person in Sanshui County? ”

"My lord, you are really right, Sanshui County has not intentionally killed people in recent years, people who come from outside are usually fleeing disasters, as long as no one instigates, give something to eat is more honest than the locals, these days, there is not even a stealer, in the past, the gangsters in the county, some changed their careers to make money, and some are like small ones, and they are servants."

The official explained there.

Jia Xianling carefully looked at the officials around him and asked, "...... you used to be on this street?" ”

"Don't hide it from adults, when it comes to Tong Heizi two years ago, there is no one on the street who is not afraid, is it a mother." The official told the old man.

The old lady smiled on the side, "Yes, adults don't know, this baby used to be able to cause trouble, and he was not filial at home, and the neighbors avoided him, and he was imprisoned once every few days, but now it's different, good, really good." ”

As soon as the old lady said this, Jia Xianling didn't know how to speak, at this time, it was evil, it turned out that the gangster was now a servant, what kind of world was this.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xianling could only turn his gaze to the thief's place again, and the thief didn't shout at this time, he took a pancake fruit in his hand and ate it there, and in the blink of an eye, a pancake fruit went into his stomach, and the person who took it handed over to him was a sip of water, and picked up a pancake fruit and served it there.

I ate four in a row, and was stopped, so I covered my swollen stomach and burped there, the pancake fruit is not small, a stall of noodles can be steamed a big steamed bun, and there are three big fruits wrapped in it, this is the kindness of selling pancake fruits, and I pondered and wrote shredded radish every day, and also added a few chopsticks.

Look at his thin body again, I don't know how to fit it in.

"I'm hungry indeed." Jia Xian Ling believed the words of the officer, the thief did this for the first time, he was hungry, it seems that it is not bad to let the person who did bad things before be the officer, the eyes are poisonous, if you want to commit a crime in front of these people, it is not easy.

The captor watched the thief finish his meal and asked, "Is there anyone else in the house?" ”

"No, yes, there is a sister who recognizes, nine years old, this eldest brother, what do you say I should do?" The thief knew that he had been caught and had something to eat, and it was impossible not to let him do something.

"I'll pick up my sister with you, come with me when the time comes, take care of your food and drink, and make your clothes for you, work hard then, and get paid, and do this kind of thing in the future, let me catch your hand and don't want it, second uncle, how much?"

The man warned the thief once, and then asked the seller of the pancakes, who had added more fruit and eggs, and did not know how to count them.

[bookid=1589628,bookname="Usurper"]

Although Jia Xianling regretted that he didn't handle a big case in his heart, he was also willing to see a person change his life, and said to the person who sold pancakes and fruits: "This money is given by the official." ”

"Oh, the county order is here, how can you let the adult pay, this baby will do things for Xiaohuzi in the future, and the money will not be collected, my car is still made by Xiaohuzi, it didn't cost money, adults taste one?"

The pancake seller had a leg that was not very sharp, and when he got out of the car to salute, he was supposed to give the pancake fruit, and he was happy to see that a child had not taken a fork in the road.

Jia Xian Ling saw that the thief ate fragrantly, so he clicked his mouth, "It's okay, then give me one too, give money." ”

The last two words are said to the yamen, and he now recognizes it, except for himself, the other people in the yamen and Zhang Wang wear a pair of pants, and there is no money in the yamen's account, so they only send things to themselves, in this case, there is no need to use it in vain.

Tong Yashou immediately took out four coins from his body and put them in the bamboo tube next to the cart, "Second uncle, add three more eggs, pour oil on both sides, and brush with more hot sauce." ”

"Okay, I wanted to invite adults to eat one, but I'm afraid that adults don't want it, put more, you must put more, you kid just saw it and didn't help." The pancake seller bowed his salute, then turned back and began to spread the pancakes, beat the eggs, and put the eggshells in the bucket next to them that was specially used for these things.

Jia looked at it and asked curiously, "What are you still doing with this eggshell?" Throw it away. ”

"My lord, look at this road, where is there anything littered? Add useless things, as long as it is bones, vegetable leaves or eggshells or something, you have to keep it, and then the people of the Zhang family will come back to pull it and give us some eggs or vegetable oil. ”

"The Zhang family? Tuqiao Village Zhangjia Zhuangzi? As soon as Jia Xianling heard about the Zhang family, he thought of that place, and he was afraid and hated that place.

The second uncle turned over the pancakes, continued to beat the eggs, and said, "Your Excellency knows too?" That's there, if it's hot, dry those things, and leave some of your own chickens to feed with other things, most of which are fed to Zhangjia Zhuangzi. ”

As soon as Jia heard others say that Zhangjia Zhuangzi felt uncomfortable, looking at the appearance of this person who sold pancakes and fruits, he said bad things about Zhangjia Zhuangzi at this time, maybe people would not sell things to themselves, no wonder Zhangjia Zhuangzi dared to be so crazy, even the county order was restricted, and the people's hearts here all ran to him.

Since he can't deal with it now, he can only endure it, Jia Xianling took the idea and asked again: "Does the old man know how many chickens Zhangjia Zhuangzi has now?" ”

"I don't know, many, that's called one more, this year I also caught fifteen chickens from his house, one male, and the rest are females, and they will be able to lay eggs in the spring of next year." The second uncle was even happier when he thought of the chickens laying eggs next year, and put more green onions, pressed the fruits, rolled them up and handed them over to the bag with raw edge paper.

"How much is one?" Jia County's order thought that Zhangjia Zhuangzi deliberately asked for more money, which was also a crime.

"I don't need money, I exchanged eggshells for thirty eggshells for a little cub, and when I first got it back, it was small and fluffy." The second uncle didn't know what the county magistrate wanted to calculate Zhangjia Zhuangzi, what did he say.

The Tong official next to him understood that the county order was trying to find a disease, so let's find it, the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang and Wang never left people a handle on this kind of thing.

When Jia Xianling heard this answer, he knew that he couldn't find Zhangjia Zhuangzi's problem in this regard, how could the eggshell be counted as money? A chicken cub is about two or three pennies, and ten eggshells are worth a penny? Does anyone believe it?

I took the pancake fruit and ate it while walking, it was really good, it was hot, and I was full when I ate it, and it was warm from the inside out.

When Jia County Commander was about to finish eating the pancakes and fruits, the three of them had already arrived at the old lady's house, the county commander was on the side to help coax, and the official and the old lady's son blocked the pig and tied it up, and the rest of the time was simple.

Half an hour later, Jia County Commander and the official returned to the Yamen, the official held the beaten pig's blood in his hand, and carried a pig's intestine in his hand, and said to the county order as he walked, "I didn't eat this thing before, I threw it to the dog at home, or threw it into the pit, and then I didn't throw it away." ”

"Why?" The prefectural order wondered.

"Zhangjia Zhuangzi specially asks people to teach others how to eat these things, especially this intestine, which can be made into sausages, and can also be filled with sausages, smoked with saw foam, and the taste is good.

Tong Ya Shi shook the intestine in his hand and said in detail, Jia County Ling said that he didn't want to eat this thing, and he was disgusted when he looked at it.

I couldn't understand what the people of Zhang's Zhuangzi were trying to teach others about this, and asked, "What are the benefits of the Zhang family?" ”

"The benefits? Yes, the people in the county eat well, their health is good, they work more, make more money, eat better, and then they will have more spare money in their hands, and if they have more money, they will have to buy things, and someone else will transport things over.

There are also merchants who also come, as long as they take the waterway, then they have to stop at the wharf, the merchants buy things to earn, in addition to the Yamen's taxes, but also to eat, there are a lot of Zhangjia Zhuangzi restaurants, and those shops that have not been rented out, this is all money, there are many people who rent, the price of the shop is high. ”

Tong Yajun said this thing or asked the county Cheng at the beginning, and he also knew in his heart that Zhangjia Zhuangzi was doing a good deed for the county, don't look at those ways to make things are simple, and the availability is not small, some people even buy these things from other people's houses and open a small shop to sell, and the people in the county will eat them after they know that these things can be eaten.

Jia Xianling didn't think about that, he only heard that there would be more taxes after the tax, and the price of the shops at the dock was also high, and he came for this.

"It's better to go to Zhangjia Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look, in case you encounter anything difficult, the official can also help." Jia County's heart came alive.

"Listen to the instructions of the adults, and go to Zhangjia Zhuangzi tomorrow, it is estimated that I can arrive before the evening, and the adults must not be bumpy." It doesn't matter where the officials go, there is nothing to be afraid of in Zhangjiazhuangzi, if you want to see how to grow vegetables, look at it casually, if you want to know how to plant fungus and hatch chicks, it is impossible.

******

Smoke curls and the north wind howls. Hanmei Lixue, who is Jiao?

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan dressed themselves into a ball, except for their eyes exposed, all other places were blocked, stepping on the snow to see the plum tree, the flowers had not yet bloomed, only the bony branches bent and hung in the snow.

"Originally, I said that I would build a house for the farmers this year, but it was delayed, and it can only be next year, let people see, which house is not strong, repair it first, don't be crushed by the heavy snow." Zhang Xiaobao looked at the tree in front of him, but what he said was about Zhuangzi.

"Well, I want to repair, tomorrow is spring, I will repair it after the spring ploughing, five days, the new county order has not moved, it seems that I want to lie down and taste the gall, lie down, lie down for a year, and I don't have a chance to find some trouble next year."

Wang Juan pulled his hand out of the stuffy hand, touched a low branch, and also did not mention the plum blossoms, and talked about the county order.

Zhang Xiaobao looked at the house in the place where the school was also blown away by the wind, thought about it, and said: "He has just come now, and he doesn't know where to start, and he has to use the original people in the yamen, and he doesn't dare to get rid of people and replace them with his own, he must be waiting for the opportunity, I was thinking, should I drive him away now, or wait, give him a chance, and he will leave."

It's winter, what to give your child something to eat? The child is weak, and it is easy to get sick when it is cold and hot, and the milk has been drinking, and you have to get some to do it, so that the child can resist the cold after eating. ”

"Butter, this thing will do, butter alone will do." Wang Juan gave an idea that he couldn't do at all.

Zhang Xiaobao didn't dare to think about using butter to make something to eat, how many cows had to be killed to be enough for the children to eat, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Use pig's meat for meat, use the oil from refining oil to squeak and wrap some buns for them, apples and things are kept for a long time, while the dock is not frozen, buy more and put them in the cellar."

Buy some of the surrounding places first, starting tomorrow, add an egg when you finish eating, and send a small plate of cucumbers, pears and apples to make a fruit plate after eating, and then fry some carrot strips in oil, two taels a day, as a snack, the medical conditions are really poor, and it is not easy to get through the disease. ”

"Well, it's good for you to look at these things, medical treatment is not easy to do, you need the cooperation of other systems, Chinese medicine is people-oriented, you need to cultivate it from a young age, and you have to be talented and intelligent, plus there are enough medicinal materials and patients to practice, so that it is possible to train a good doctor, the requirements are too high."

Wang Juan knew that he couldn't get those medical equipment and medicines, but he still longed for it, especially surgery, where it was difficult to teach people to dissect.

Zhang Xiaobao also thought, if there is a bigger hospital here, how much will it be saved? Well, how much trouble did you get into?

"The system problem is also the reform problem of the dynasty, and it does not give the opportunity for development, and traditional Chinese medicine originally had some systems, a change, and it is over."

"Do you believe in Chinese medicine? Believe in that system? Wang Juan turned his head and asked.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I just hope that it can be cured when you get sick, for example, if you have a cold, you can be treated by drinking a small chaihu soup, and you can also be treated by taking some pills, you don't want to be opposed, you have to think about integration."

For example, ginseng, eating too much does have nosebleeds, a thing that can become a poison must become medicine, Chinese medicine is a thought, not a model, even if you use an instrument, it can also be said to be Chinese medicine, don't say this, it's too heavy, sprinkle salt snow or charcoal? ”

"Are you talking about the water below the clouds? If you use charcoal, if you sprinkle salt, it will kill the fish, so how much charcoal do you have to use to maintain this brand? Wang Juan couldn't estimate it for a while.

Zhang Xiaobao thought of other places, "more points, more points, only in Sanshui County to collect charcoal, stimulate domestic demand, and give the county order a chance." ”

The wheels crunched against the snow, and the horses had to change to donkeys by noon, and the wind seemed to come out on all sides, carrying the snow on the ground and whirling to sweep by.

Whenever I pass by a village, I can always see a group of little babies running wildly there, their little hands still holding the snow in their red hands, holding them solidly, and hitting the people on the other side.

The little baby had a snowball on her face, and while wiping her nose with her sleeve, she cried and offered ammunition to others, and whenever she couldn't stand the cold, she put her hands in her clothes to warm them, or rubbed them vigorously with snow until they were hot.

Which baby accidentally falls and doesn't feel pain, the clothes on his body are all the clothes he wears, and the ground is full of snow, so he rolls and gets up.

Jia Xianling sat in the car, watching those children playing, and also felt interesting, but unfortunately couldn't go down to play for a while.

"My lord, it is estimated that you will not be able to get to the place until it gets dark at night, the road is not easy to walk, the horse has traveled for so long, and it will be tired if it goes down again, and this donkey walks slowly." The official saw the curtain of the carriage raised, walked to the side and said.

"Oh, I didn't eat at noon, and I had to be wrong at dinner." When Jia Xianling came, he didn't prepare so much, only brought some water and tea, and prepared to drink it in the car, who knew that it would be until now, and there was a small shop when he changed the donkey at noon, and he saw that it was a little bury there, so he didn't eat, so he let people continue to hurry.

The official hesitated for a moment, then went to another official and took a paper bag, handed it to the car, and said, "My lord, if you are hungry, you can eat this." ”

Jia Xianling received it in his hand, opened it to see, and found that it was dried noodles that had been fried in oil, and he didn't know how to eat it. ”

"This is specially prepared for us by Zhangjia Zhuangzi, when we go on patrol, or if we have something, we eat on the road, and this thing." As he spoke, the official handed over a bamboo tube as thick as a small finger to Jia County, only two inches long.

There is no need for Jia County to ask, and he said directly: "If the adult soaks the noodles with water, pour this thing into it, we usually have no water, just wipe this thing on the noodles and eat, the noodles have been wrapped in seasonings and other things, this is oil, butter, Zhangjia Zhuangzi fell to death cow, usually most of the butter will be left to make this."

Now it's frozen, you put the tube down, hold it with your hands for a while, the oil will come down, smear on the noodles, but it's delicious, I don't know what is in it, just eat this oil is not so greasy, and it can be used as a snack when it is frozen. ”

Jia Xianling listened to these words, and the most impressive sentence was that Zhangjia Zhuangzi specially prepared for us, good, indeed good, when the officials were doing things outside and couldn't eat, there were things made by Zhangjia Zhuangzi, which was like this for others, but definitely not for themselves.

Jia Xianling thought, looked at his teacup, and looked at the pot with little water, he really couldn't soak it, let him eat like this, he didn't want to, and asked the officer: "You usually chew this thing outside, it doesn't seem to be very good." ”
