***

The steward in the Yang family's Zhuangzi is called Lu Qingsheng, in his forties, his eyes are already small, and he has some fortune, so he always feels like he is smiling.

When he saw Yang Yi coming to the Grange in person, he hurriedly caught and killed the old hen that laid eggs, and took great pains to get a few Yellow River carp, and made a few delicious dishes with local characteristics with the mushrooms picked in the mountain.

After eating, Yang Yi instructed: "Steward Lu, please find someone to clean up the small courtyard, we will live here for a few days." ”

Lu Qingsheng hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The big official has tormented the villain, what is not troublesome, the villain can't afford it, the villain will immediately let my mother-in-law take someone to clean up, if the big official still needs anything, he will order it together, and the villain will definitely prepare it for the big official." ”

Yang Yi smiled, pulled him to the corner and asked in a low voice, "Steward Lu, is there a mass grave around here?" ”

Lu Qingsheng never dreamed that he would ask this, and a pair of small eyes opened like copper bells: "There is Faziling in the west of the village, five or six miles, big ...... This is ...... official."

"Hehe, Qing Niang is timid, wait for us to go out for fear of scaring her, knowing the location, we can avoid it."

"Oh! The big officials just go to the southeast along the river, there is a slope less than two miles is our house, now the slope is full of wild flowers, the river is shaded by green willows, the scenery is the best, and then suitable for walking in the green but, the villain has to go there often to fish when he is free, or the villain takes the big official to go! ”

"Well, that's fine! You bring the rod with you. ”

The mulberry trees at the head and end of the village have grown new leaves, and it is almost the season to raise spring silkworms.

Walking to the private school on the east side of the village, the children brought back from the Huanzhou Salesian Bureau also joined in, and at first glance, it looked like a teacher taking the students on a spring outing, so it was not lively.

Qing Niang also brought a few kites and prepared to fly them on open and sloping ground. With this group of children, she suddenly abandoned her reserve and ran to the front happily, with a white wolf following her, Yang Yi could rest assured.

Leaving Yang Yi, Ming'er, Lin Miao, and Lu Qingsheng behind, the small river meandered to the east, the grass on the embankment was green, and the fields were large golden cauliflowers, the east wind blew, undulating like waves.

Ming'er was a little reluctant when she arrived, because her job as the "financial director" in the workshop was overpaid.

But after hearing Yang Yi say that she was going to stay here for a few days, she suddenly felt better, and it was not ordinarily good, and she glanced at Yang Yi from time to time after walking, like a gluttonous child looking at a lollipop.

Lin Mi Miao seemed to know what Ming'er was thinking, and the corners of her mouth pursed without a trace, it felt like saying: What's so good about this guy in front? One by one, they posted up.

This can't be blamed on Lin Daochang, people have never eaten lollipops, where do they know how delicious lollipops are.

Steward Lu explained to Yang Yi as he walked: "The west side of the river is the land of the Ying Guo family, and the east side of the river until the slope over there is our Yang family, and the slope is on the Wei Langzhong Mansion. ”

Steward Lu pointed to the cauliflower in the field, his face was beaming, Yang Yi just smiled faintly, the family didn't expect the harvest in the field to live, he didn't care much about this, he didn't come here to inspect the fields, but to be quiet.

Now that the wind and waves are high in the middle of the court, it seems that it has nothing to do with him at all. In the eyes of outsiders, he was like a little daughter-in-law who had been wronged, and simply hid back to her parents' house.

The children in front of them were in groups of three or five, chasing butterflies, and the crisp laughter came in the wind, full of rural fun;

The smile on Yang Yi's face became stronger, and Steward Lu thought that he was happy for a good harvest, and said more diligently: "The big officials and the old lady are bodhisattva-hearted, and the rent is less than that of other families. ”

The landed yeoman farmers in the Great Song Dynasty were called the main households, and the landless tenant farmers were called customers, and the customers only paid rent to the landlords and did not have to pay taxes to the imperial court;

Before there was no unified tax, there were many kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and many people preferred to work as tenant farmers for others. If you meet some more benevolent landlords, you will have a better life as a tenant farmer than a yeoman farmer.

After the unification of taxes, the burden on yeoman farmers was reduced somewhat, but the Yang family received 20% less rent than other families, and the tenants of the Yang family were still no worse than those of yeoman farmers. Therefore, Steward Lu's words were very sincere.

Yang Yi said kindly: "You don't need to show any intentions, just take care of Zhuangzi with your heart, I came to live in Zhuangzi just to be quiet, you don't have to worry about me." ”

The sloping land mentioned by Steward Lu is full of thousands of acres, in addition to planting some fruit trees, that is, mulberry leaves, of which hundreds of acres can only be thrown away and grow grass because of more stones, which are usually used to raise cattle and sheep.

The pear blossoms in the orchard have fallen, but the apricot blossoms are blooming lively, the forest of apricot blossoms reflects the grass, and the clear river flows down the slope, like a streamer on the waist of a beauty, and the scenery is really very beautiful.

The children who herd the cows in the village did not know where to play, and several cows broke into the orchard, and their sturdy bodies came back to scratch the itch on the trunk of the tree, and the apricot blossoms on the tree were shaken and fell one after another.

Steward Lu hurriedly rushed to catch up when he saw it, he was fat, like a round ball, and he "rolled" all the way, the speed was amazingly fast, and Yang Yi was dumbfounded.

"Is that okay? Chief Lin Dao, your light skill of chasing cicadas in eight steps, can you be so fast? ”

Lin Miaoyi also felt that Steward Lu's appearance was very funny, revealing two rows of white teeth and smiling: "If the two armies are facing each other, let hundreds of such people 'roll' over, the enemy formation will inevitably be in chaos, and you will lead the army to fight in the future, you can choose more people like Steward Lu to be the vanguard......

After listening to Lin Ethereal's words, and then looking at the 'sphere' that Steward Lu rolled away, Yang Yi couldn't help but have a strange picture in his mind, on the battlefield where the flag covered the sun and the atmosphere was solemn, the two armies were in a strict formation and were facing each other;

Suddenly, hundreds of huge 'meat balls' rolled out of the formation, crushing towards the enemy formation with exhaust gas all the way, crossing the ditch and crossing the hurdles, bouncing uncertainly, and in an instant the stunned enemy was crushed to pieces, crying dad and calling mother...

"Great, this will definitely become the most classic example of human warfare, Lin Daochang's whimsy is high, and his ideas are like a tide, so let's do it, I immediately recommend Lin Daochang to the imperial court, and let you form this greatest army of mankind, but if you really go to the battlefield, Lin Daochang must remember, don't call your brothers to rush with me, you can only call your brothers to rush to me!"

"Uncle, what's the difference?" Ming'er's curiosity kills elephants.

"Call the brothers to rush with me, Lin Daochang's slender posture is afraid that it will become flattened at that time, so I can only hide behind and shout to the brothers to rush me!"

"How does my uncle usually shout when he leads the army to fight?"

"He! It must be shouting at the brothers, run away! Lin Miao never missed the opportunity to hit him.

"Wrong, I usually shout: Brothers, grab money and nuns!"

Yang Daguan ran away after shouting, although he didn't have the speed of 'rolling' like Steward Lu, he finally narrowly escaped from the flying sword light.

"Ouch!"

As the so-called happiness gives birth to sorrow, Yang Daguan was proudly escaping from the tiger's mouth, and suddenly tripped over a vine under his feet, and fell into a dog eating.

This made Lin Miao smile so unhappily.

He was about to pull up the vine that tripped over him and used it to hang, but found that it was a grapevine, which was crawling on the ground and just beginning to sprout, so it was difficult to see.

After that, he wandered around the hillside like a male lion in the animal world.

Qing Niang ran over with a branch of apricot blossom and asked curiously, "Did Brother Yang lose something?" What are you looking for? ”

"Qing Niang, what is this?"

"Grapes, they should be wild." It seems that Qing Niang has studied grapes quite a lot.

"Let me ask you a question, what kind of grape is the most acidic?"

"Green grapes!" Ming'er took the initiative to classify Yang Daguanren's question as a rush to answer.

"Wrong! Deduct one point. ”

"Then what uncle said that grapes are the most sour?" Ming'er was obviously unconvinced.

Qing Niang smiled and said: "The grapes that can't be eaten are the most sour!" ”

"That's right, there's a prize...... Hey, Qing Niang, what are you running? ”

Seeing that the mother was like a light butterfly flying fast, Yang Daguan had no choice but to change the wolf kiss to a flying kiss, and finally successfully completed the award ceremony.

He took a twig and asked as he dug into the soil, "Does Ming'er like to drink wine?" ”

"I like it!" Ming'er's eyes were shining, and she stared intently at the movements of Yang Daguan.

"Well, yes, it's sand." Yang Yi patted the mud and sand on his hands, and Shi Shiran walked to the river to set up a fishing rod.

The wine could not be dug up in the soil, which made Ming'er disappointed, and her little mouth was high.

Yang Daguan smiled and said bewildermently: "Ming'er, this land does contain wine, but I can't dig it up with a branch." In this way, you go back to Zhuangzi and ask everyone to bring their tools and dig together, make sure you can dig it, go quickly! ”

"Hmph, my uncle is teasing the servant again, and the servant doesn't believe your nonsense."

"If you don't go, right, okay, don't drink the wine if you get it, Steward Lu! Take care of things! ”

"Hey! What are the commands of the great officials? Steward Lu rolled in again, and stopped in front of Yang Yi accurately, Yang Yi couldn't help but look at him twice, this braking performance at least surpassed that of Mercedes-Benz BMW.

"Steward Lu, you go back to the village immediately, gather everyone, bring tools to dig a pit here, the requirements are two feet long, wide and deep, and I will give fifty yuan for each pit dug."

"Huh? What are you going to do, official? ”

"Looking for a baby, Steward Lu, you just know about this matter alone, the so-called wealth is not exposed, don't go around publicly."

Steward Lu's round head nodded vigorously, and the trust of Yang Daguan made him want to cry loudly, so touched This is!

"Let's go!"

"Yes!"

Steward Lu rolled away again......
