Han Youniang watched Mrs. Ouyang's sedan chair turn over a fence wall, and was about to return to the courtyard with Gao Wenxin, when two horses, one white and one red, galloped out from behind the fence.

The trail is not too wide, I think it is to avoid the Yan family lady, the two horses walked in the snow on the side of the road, running and hurrying, in front of the narrow path is a winding stream, now it has frozen into ice, I saw the knight on the horse reins and raise the buttocks, two healthy horses stood up, turned around in the air nearly ninety degrees, and turned over.

Han Youniang used to say that she had only seen such a clever knight in Ji Ming, and at this time, she couldn't help but see that her eyes lit up, a handsome woman with a delicate body on the white horse, dark clouds pressed sideburns, pink face, and peach cheeks, but next to the red horse was a burly man in a yellow robe.

Gao Wenxin whispered to Han Youniang: "Sister, you are a guest of our family."

Han Youniang snorted, the two horses had galloped in front of her, and the man laughed and said, "Miss Gao, meet again!" As he spoke, he did not hold the saddle, but jumped off the horse with one leg on his legs, and his skills were extremely vigorous.

The woman in red smiled slightly, pressed the saddle and landed lightly, took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Doctor Gao, my husband and wife are here to thank Doctor Gao and Lord Yang for their help in saving lives."

Gao Wenxin hurriedly said: "This is Mrs. Yang." Yang Hu and his wife were busy clasping their fists and saluting when they heard this, Han Youniang had simply heard about them, and the people who came to Beijing to see were all officialdom, the couple's boldness and generosity were very suitable for her spleen and stomach, Han Youniang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Brother Yang, Mrs. Yang, my family has not yet returned from the official business, the young lady has already heard the names of the two, please come in."

Yang Hu and his wife didn't expect a lady to speak so heartily, and they felt cordial in surprise, and the four of them entered the courtyard, just as Yutangchun and Xuelimei were catching up, followed by Wu Hanchao, who was mourning.

When Yang Hu took Yang Quan, Wu Hanchao and others all the way into Beijing, Wu Hanchao woke up from time to time, and they were familiar with each other, Yang Hu saw him pounce on his shoulder and punched him, and laughed: "Brother Wu, are you okay?" ”

He practiced outer kung fu, a pair of iron palms can open the monument and gravel, this punch is very powerful, but Wu Hanchao reacted very quickly, the fist just reached the shoulder, his body was slightly short, his shoulder collapsed, and most of Yang Hu's strength had been removed.

Yang Hu only felt that a punch was empty, like hitting a piece of cloth hanging in the air, empty and unfocused, slightly stunned kung fu with a soft and soft force, the punch had slid against Wu Wenchao's shoulder, Wu Wenchao stood there fine, just smiled bitterly: "Brother Yang is lighter, brother is not good yet."

Cui Ying'er has never met with the demon Li Fuda, but Li Fuda has three sons, Daren, Dayi, and Dali, these three people are still only young people in their twenties, Cui Yinger fought with Li Dayi in Bazhou last fall, and the two are comparable in martial arts.

Cui Ying'er thinks very highly of herself, she doesn't believe that this scholar can hurt Li Dayi's Laozi, and when she came, she instructed her husband to explore the depth of his martial arts. As soon as the so-called connoisseur stretched out his hand, he knew if there was any, and now that he tried Wu Hanchao's move, Cui Yinger has seen that this scholar's kung fu is indeed good, even if he himself may not be his opponent.

Cui Ying'er rolled her eyes, glanced at Yang Hu, and said angrily: "Always rude, this Wu brother is not well injured, you don't want to hurt others again", saying that she greeted Xue Limei and Yutangchun with a smile, held one in one hand, and praised: "Mrs. Yang is dignified and generous, and the two sisters are also the best in the world, so my sister is envious."

Yutang's spring face is like a full moon, his eyes are like autumn waves, and his eyes and teeth are looking forward to it, and there is a charm of his own. Because it is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, it is time to sweep the house and sacrifice the stove, this is the first official New Year's Festival after Yang Ling became a family, under the care of the young lady, the whole house attaches great importance to it.

Yutangchun wore a festive peach-colored pleated long skirt, covered with a light blue checkered armor, and a white hosta on her head fixed her hair like a cloud.

Xue Limei wears a woven gold and green silk jacket, tied a colorful goose yellow brocade skirt, cherry mouth, white teeth and red lips, although she looks petite and immature, she is also a little beauty with vivid color.

The two of them don't know the identity of the red lady, but Cui Ying'er is originally apricot eyes and peach cheeks, beautiful as a flame, she can praise her so much, the second daughter can't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly greet her with a smile.

These women got together, this praised that the hairstyle was good, and that praised the clothes that were beautiful, and the parents chatted happily, but they left Yang Hu and Wu Hanchao aside, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, so they had to slowly follow behind and enter the middle hall together.

When the executive's family saw the guests, they had already instructed the maid to serve fragrant tea and melon seeds, and everyone chatted in the hall. While he was talking, there was a neighing of horses outside the door, and after a while, Yang Ling was dressed in a big hat, and led the two fans into the courtyard "Tengteng", and shouted loudly: "Housekeeper, is Miss Cheng at home?" ”

The executive's family hurriedly pushed the door to greet him, and whispered: "Master, there are guests in the house, and Mrs. is entertaining guests."

Yang Ling was stunned and asked, "Who is here?" As soon as he raised his eyes as he spoke, he saw that Han Youniang and Yang Hu had already walked to the door when they heard the sound, Yang Ling hurriedly took a look of anxiety, put on a smiling face and said, "It turned out to be Brother Yang and Mrs. Yang, who lost welcome and lost welcome."

Xue Limei laughed, and quietly stuck to Yutangchun's ear and said: "This is Mrs. Yang, and that is also Mrs. Yang, when I closed my eyes and listened, I thought it was Mrs. I."

Yutangchun couldn't help but smile when she heard this, she was afraid of being heard, so she quietly pinched this naughty girl, Xue Limei was snickering, suddenly felt an itch on the tip of her buttocks, turned her head to look, but was found something, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Yang Hu and Wu Hanchao both saw Cui Yinger's movements, she didn't turn her head back, just flicked her fingers, and a melon seed shot backwards, drew an arc, and hit Xue Limei's ass accurately, the two looked at each other, and once again tacitly said goodbye.

When Yang Ling came back from the palace, he happened to meet the housekeeper outside the high staff at the entrance of the village, who was one of the six landlords of the seven local imperial villages, so Yang Ling got off the horse and talked to him.

He didn't want to disturb the people, in fact, even if he wanted to forcibly occupy the land of these landlords and squires with his power, it was absolutely impossible, but after the small year, it was the beginning of spring, and he wanted to plant new crops near Jingshi, produce a batch of good seeds, and cultivate a group of farmers who were familiar with the cultivation of new crops, so that the officials of the court and the central government would bow their heads in front of the facts, but there was not enough land at hand, all this was empty talk.

Yang Ling tentatively explored the possibility of renting and buying land from the senior housekeeper to the old housekeeper, but he didn't expect the old housekeeper to be surprised when he heard it, Yang Ling knew from his mouth that now there are six members around, except for Li Jimeng's family, the land of the remaining six has been owned by Cheng Qiyun, this matter is talked about by a son surnamed Cheng and Master Gao, and even the old housekeeper does not know the details.

Yang Ling and Cheng Qiyun have been getting along for more than two months, and they already knew that this Cheng girl was proud of her surname, and she only asked about likes and dislikes, and did not distinguish between good and evil, Yang Ling's actual age was two years older than Cheng Qiyun, and she couldn't see her thoughts about inviting favors.

Usually he just pretended to be stupid, but now after hearing the news, I don't know how Cheng Qiyun did whatever it took to make these six gentry obediently hand over the land, but he didn't dare to say anything so far, so he hurried back to the house to ask for an understanding.

He didn't expect Yang Fu and his wife to visit at this time, so he had to relax and entertain the two guests in advance. The male owner went home, and the women were not good to be around, Han Youniang accompanied Cui Ying'er, Yingying Yanyan's group of people went to the back house, and Yang Ling accompanied Yang Hu and Wu Hanchao to chat in the middle hall.

The three of them chatted for a while, and gradually talked about martial arts, Wu Hanchao and Yang Hu talked about the experience of doing tricks with Lao Dao, and at the same time they were comparing in the hall, and they chatted about their surnames, and the two wanted to have a competition.

There are trees and flower beds in the front hall, which is not suitable for hands, and Yang Ling also really wants to see what these real martial arts masters look like when they fight, so he got up and said with a smile: "Two, the field in the lower backyard is wide, since you want to have a try, let's go there, hehe, it's just that the injuries of the two are just right, let's stop there."

The three of them talked and laughed, and came to the backyard directly to the backyard patio, Yang Ling saw that the inner study where Cheng Qiyun lived on the left side of the house, so he said to the executive: "Two, Humble Jing is also a good martial artist, heh, I let them also open their eyes." Butler, you accompany the two distinguished guests to the back garden first."

Yang Ling confessed, hurriedly turned into the inner study, and when he lifted the door curtain, he saw Cheng Qiyun sitting on the chair with his head slightly sideways, holding a wolf in his hand and writing something on the light cloud-colored Xue Tao's note. Seeing Yang Ling come in, Cheng Qiyun was a little surprised, and a little happy, she smiled lightly, put the pen down, Ying Ying stood up and bypassed the bookcase and said, "My lord, why do you have time to come to see me today?" ”

Yang Ling saw that she was wearing a pale cyan homely skirt, covered with a lake-green bijia, plain, elegant and beautiful. However, her skirt was well cut, and her waist and hips were soft and soft, and her posture was graceful.

Yang Ling unexpectedly remembered that when she first came to Yang Mansion, she said that the little man's waist was tied with a golden bell, like the skin of water, like the enchanting of the bones of a snake, and the anger dropped slightly, he calmed down and slowly paced over, sat on the chair and said: "Let me ask you, the land of the seven imperial villages and ten ** has now fallen under your name?" How did I not know? ”

Cheng Qiyun was stunned, her eyes widened slightly, and then she sneered, and said: "Adults are busy with official business, this little thing naturally has a humble service, you know, or I plan to tell you today, after the New Year, you should have made preparations as soon as possible, ploughing cattle, grain seeds, farm tools, and appeasing tenants, and there are many things to prepare."

Yang Ling frowned and said, "I'm not asking this, I'm asking how you let those landlords sell their land?" ”

Cheng Qiyun lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes, but the smile on Sakura's lips seemed to be faint, she quietly glanced at Yang Ling, and said with a smile: "Adults can't guess, right?" Hee-hee, there is a golden sign of the inner factory, and it is humble".

Yang Ling sighed in his heart when he heard this, couldn't help but slap the table, and said angrily: "Sure enough, as I expected, you use the inner factory to intimidate and coerce, do you think the inner factory is like the East Factory Jinyiwei?" ”

He was so angry that his face turned blue, and he brushed his sleeves and got up and said: "Fortunately, this official knew it early, otherwise a few days later, the imperial envoys and officials would play impeachment one after another, and the official was in charge of the imperial village for less than a year, and the land was occupied, how can this crime be gotten rid of?" Immediately returned the field to me, it is really a blessing to have insufficient success and failure! ”

Cheng Qiyun was stunned, her hands trembled slightly in her sleeves, and her sleeves were also fluttering, her bright eyes blinked a few times, and a mist quickly rose up, she walked to the table step by step, stared at Yang Ling for a long time, and suddenly nodded and smiled miserably: "Okay, good, it turns out that you see me like this."

She trembled and stretched out a hand, picked up a stack of notes from the table, and slowly stretched it out in front of Yang Ling, her five fingers opened, and the stack of notes slipped down miserably.

Yang Ling was stunned and picked up the stack of papers, and put it on the top of a contract document that was impressively the sale of the land by the senior staff of the village, with the signatures and fingerprints of both parties and the certificate of the chief and the squire, indicating that the 830 acres of land under the name of the senior official were sold to her at a price of 9,000 taels, and the date was the first day of the first month of the 18th year of Hongzhi.

This price is very fair, and it is higher than the market price, but Yang Ling knows that even if the price is several times higher, these squire landlords will never sell real estate unless their lives are unsustainable.

It was pointed out that Cheng Qiyun sold the 830 acres of land to the senior at a price of 7,500 taels, Yang Ling was inexplicable, and he suddenly realized that it was written on the first day of the first month of the first year of Zhengde.

Dare to love into Qiyun to lure with huge profits, to several large landlords signed a post-dated check, these fields a year net income is only 1,000 taels, now do not have to worry about anything, drought and flood to ensure the harvest of 1,500 taels of silver, there are documents in hand, the land can be taken back in the next year, this kind of good thing fool will not agree.

Yang Ling hurriedly stood up, seeing her flattening her mouth, like a child, and feeling sorry and a little funny, he paused and sighed: "You told me earlier, why hide it."

Cheng Qiyun said awkwardly: "The idea is what people think, but people are not sure if they will agree, why did they tell you first?" If you don't be a landlord, those peasant tenants will not be appeased, people will pay their own money to do things for you and go to your door, and their strength will be out for you, and their lives will be sold for you, but they have done a thing that is sorry for you, why do they think so badly of others? ”

The more Cheng Qiyun spoke, the more sad she became, and two lines of clear tears fell down her smooth cheeks, dripping on the half-written Xue Tao note, and the ink was immediately wet.

Yang Ling only felt hot all over, and said crampedly: "This is yes, yes, I was wrong, I will compensate you, oops, why do you cry when you see me!" ”

Cheng Qiyun said: "It's not you who hurt it?" This sentence was a little too warm, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

Yang Ling didn't dare to look at her pitiful appearance, his eyes drooped slightly, and he saw that the words on the wet paper were a little familiar, and he couldn't help but turn it around, and the tears wet a few lines of words, and the ink had been blurred, but the upper two lines were still clearly visible, and the beautiful and delicate small characters on the hand were written "Jun is like the bright moon, I am a fog, and the fog is hidden in the sky with the moon, only because of the feeling of Jun".

Yang Ling only saw this, and was snatched away by Cheng Qiyun in his hand, and his face turned red and said angrily: "I have never seen an adult like you, how can there be such a casual look at other people's things."

It was the first time she had moved her true feelings when she grew so big, but she was seen by Yang Ling again, she was embarrassed for a while, her pretty face was as red as Danxia, and she had to hold her mouth hard, Yang Ling would rather not see it, and she was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, the footsteps outside the house sounded, and Han Youniang's voice called: "Xianggong, Cheng Girl."

Yang Ling was afraid that she would see Cheng Qiyun crying, so she hurriedly turned around and went out, only to see Han Youniang coming over with Gao Wenxin, and said happily: "Xianggong, you are here, Brother Yang and Wu Gongzi want to test their martial arts, do you want to see Miss Cheng too?" ”

She approached and grabbed Yang Ling's arm, and whispered: "Xianggong, Wu Gongzi's martial arts are very good, you are the governor of the factory, and your subordinates are all good men who dance guns and sticks, go back and find an opportunity to learn from him as a teacher, which can not only defend yourself but also keep fit." ”

Yang Ling said with a smile: "You, you want to take advantage of the benefits, most of the people in the martial arts cherish their own secret skills, right?" Wouldn't it be embarrassing for people to open their mouths and not teach them? ”

A voice behind him chuckled: "My lord, it should be Wudang who wishes to have a disciple like you." Wudang is the family temple of the Ming royal family, and the real person in charge of the teaching is in the imperial court, and has always been responsible for supervising all the affairs of Jiangxi Longhu Mountain, Hubei Wudang Mountain, and Shandong Jade Emperor Temple. ”

Cheng Qiyun said that she had come a long time, and bowed to Han Youniang Yingying with her hand on her waist, and said: "I have seen Mrs., I just discussed with the adults about the change of cultivation and new planting in the spring, and I missed everyone's Yaxing."

Yang Ling glanced at it, Cheng Qiyun was still teary-eyed, this moment of kung fu Qing Shui's face was delicate and flawless, blowing and blowing, his eyes were as clear as a pool of autumn water, how could there be a trace of crying in his shallow and smiling appearance, this calm and contrived kung fu made Yang Ling wonder if Fang Cai was dazzled.

The four of them returned to the courtyard, Yang Hu, Wu Hanchao, the red lady Cui Ying'er and Yu'er, Xue'er and their families were waiting in the courtyard, and a group of people came to the backyard to watch him compete in martial arts.

Yang Ling only said that he could see the extraordinary scenes of high and high martial arts like those seen in the movie, but he couldn't imagine that they would really fight each other, the moves were not good at all, and the two of them rarely jumped off the ground.

Yang Hu is burly, a foreign kung fu is superb, his fists and feet are vigorous, Yang Ling, a layman, is still a little lively, but Wu Hanchao seems to be lying on his stomach, Yang Ling lost interest after looking at it for a while.

Han Youniang and Cui Ying'er looked at their eyes for a moment, Han Youniang stared at Yang Hu's fists and feet, her lips moved, and she looked like she was eager to know, Cui Ying'er also practiced her inner fists and feet, and she also paid special attention to the moves and styles of the Taishan Beidou Wudang Sect from the inner kung fu.

The fight on the field was in full swing, but Yang Ling was looking around, he saw a person coming out of the warm cellar in the distance, hurriedly left the crowd two steps, and beckoned to the person.

The old man was a farmer who was hired to take care of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops from the local area, and he was carrying a basket and was about to go back with some dry fertilizer, when he saw Yang Ling calling him, he hurriedly stacked the basket and hurriedly walked over.

Yang Ling smiled and asked: "Lao Liu, I have been busy for the past two days, I haven't even bothered to go into the cellar to take a look, how are those seedlings cultivated?" Don't invite pests."

Lao Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry, master, we are all doing our best to be careful, take care of those seedlings like baby bumps, those peppers have been red, according to the master's instructions, moved to a place where you can see the sun, and the red persimmons have bloomed."

Yang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and at this time, there were two delicate cheers behind him, Yang Ling turned his head to look, and saw Yang Fu's yellow face slightly confused, and he was clenching his fists and saying something to Wu Hanchao, and then the two of them walked over with their arms, and it seemed that Yang Fu had lost.

Han Youniang saw Xiang Gong running to the side to chat with the old farmer, she came over and said angrily and funny: "Xiang Gong has always said that he wants to find a famous teacher to learn martial arts, Brother Yang and Wu Gongzi are both first-class masters, but you ran aside for such a wonderful competition."

Han Youniang deliberately said it to Wu Hanchao, Yang Ling smiled: "It's a pity that I'm a layman, and I can't understand anything after watching it for a long time, so I came to take care of my crops, hahaha."

The red lady was surprised and said, "Crops? Where are the crops? My lord, do you still need to care about some harvests in the ground? ”

Han Youniang explained: "Mrs. Yang, my husband found a few crops flowing in from the West, the kind of potatoes and sweet potatoes have a yield of several times that of today's crops, and there is a kind of corn, which produces thousands of varieties and is drought and barren.

She said and glanced at Yang Ling with admiration, Cui Yinger and Yang Hu looked at each other in amazement, Yang Hu was oppressed and exploited by the government, and his life was unsustainable, so he entered the green forest in anger.

The two of them can be said to have no good impression of being an official, how old is Yang Ling? If he sells his reputation, gives relief to the victims, and deals with a few greedy officials, the effect is both direct and obvious, can he use so much effort?

Yang Ling smiled and said: "I have been busy with the border war these days, and I haven't bothered to go up to see these crops, Yang is really a little worried in his heart." If it goes well, this high-yield crop can be promoted next year, so would you like to go and see it first? Hehe, please! ”

Yang Ling took a few people to the warm cellar, introduced the crops to them one by one, and told them the characteristics of these crops with the old farmers who returned from the South Seas.

Yang Ling knew that the crops at this time were very delicate, the drought was flooded, the insect infestation was heavy, and the harvest was greatly affected.

And sweet potatoes, Ma Ling potatoes from the south to the north are suitable for planting, the yield per mu is at least two thousand catties, the south can even be three a year, corn is not a good land, the yield is far better than the original crops, think about these crops in the future can save countless victims, Yang Ling caress those green seedlings, the heart is also full of a sense of achievement.

Cui Ying'er listened to Yang Ling's eloquent talk about the harvest scene, a pair of bright eyes quietly looked at him, and her heart was full of curiosity: this official was very different from the official in her impression, he was willing to think about the people, and the scholars regarded farming as a lowly thing, but he seemed to be very keen on farming.

Cui Ying'er's mind is intertwined with all kinds of rumors about Yang Ling, the favored minister of the Son of Heaven, the cold-blooded overseer who eradicated the East Factory overnight, the infatuated scholar who dares to resist the holy decree for his beloved wife, the majestic general who defeated the Japanese Kou, and the son in front of him who talks about crops and has no official authority.

She looked at the various crops she had never seen before planted in the shed, and thought, "Is this person really capable of saving the people of the world?" These strange crops can save many hungry and impoverished people during the annual floods? ”

She has never read a book, she has grown up in a den of robbers since she was a child, but she understands people's hearts best, she can see that Yang Ling is telling the truth, but she is very suspicious of the role of these crops.

People in the world are unkind to the rich, unhonest to officials, and even if there is a bumper harvest of grain everywhere, is it not in the hands of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Those people in his hometown have no food and clothing, they are forced by the government to raise horses, and they are punished in all kinds of difficulties, how many people are ruined, can he save such a poor person?

However, Cui Ying'er glanced at Yang Ling, smiled slightly, and said in her heart: "This Yang Gongzi is a good person and a good official, when we kill the Dog Emperor and raise troops to take over the world, we can give him a big official."

Yang Hu listened to it on the sidelines but was secretly frightened, he has now accumulated considerable financial resources and talents, just wait for the time to rise up to rebel and seize the world, he firmly believes that the people who have no food and clothing, and are oppressed in various places, as long as he ascends to the heights, he will definitely respond, at least in his hometown of Bazhou, he can pull up a team of tens of thousands of people.

But he was originally a junior colonel in the army, and it was because Tuntian was annexed by the generals, and he took refuge in the green forest because he couldn't get by, and he knew that if those people had a way to live and could eat, I am afraid it would be difficult to move, and they would no longer be able to let them follow him to fight the world.

Yang Hu's initial hatred of the Ming court was much simpler, he wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and rebuild a clean and loving government. But as his latent power grew, his personal ambitions and greed gradually swelled. Now he wants to rebel, more for himself to be the emperor and sit on the world, this greedy idea has gradually replaced the original desire to fight for the people of the world.

"Can't let him succeed!" Yang Hu had a murderous moment in his heart, his sharp eyes were focused on Yang Ling, and he secretly said in his heart: "This dog official must die!" ”

(To be continued)
