It's about to be Li Gang's birthday, and the eldest grandson Chong promised to make a poem for Li Gang before, but he almost forgot it, if Xiao Yu hadn't come over, he really couldn't remember it. As someone else's apprentice, Changsun Chong thinks he is very unqualified. However, Li Gang couldn't bear to like his talent and learning, and never paid attention to these subsections.

"Senior brother, are you ready for the verses for Shizun? Master's birthday is coming soon, and you say I'll write it quickly. Xiao Yu urged, and pulled the eldest grandson Chong to the study.

Of course, Changsun Chong couldn't say that he had forgotten, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, I said, you write." ”

"Okay, let's talk about it!" Xiao Yu couldn't wait.

"The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry." The eldest grandson Chong absolutely said these two sentences, a pair, it seems that the whole poem is written about lovesickness, and it is not suitable to give it to the master, but these two sentences can be used at that time, praising the master for not hiding his selfishness, teaching and educating people until the last moment of his life, which is the portrayal of the master.

Xiao Yu wrote two lines on the paper and said: "The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry." That's all there is to it? ”

"Well, that's all there is to it."

"Master, our teacher teaches and educates people, just like spring silkworms and wax torches." Changsun Chong explained, "Let's just give these two sentences to the master, right?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head again and again and said, "No, no!" It's too little, and then think of a whole song. ”

The eldest grandson rolled his eyes and continued: "The jade pot holds the ice heart, and the zhu pen writes the soul of the master. Earnest like a father's words, like a friend. Light and a few lines of words, thick smearing a lifetime. I hope that the latecomers will succeed in reporting to the master. ”

Xiao Yu wrote this poem quickly, and after writing it, he asked, "Senior brother, which one do you say is better to send?" ”

Eldest Sun Chong shrugged. said: "Whatever you want, anyway, my task has been completed, now it's up to you." ”

Changsun Chong had other things to do, so he hurried away.

Xiao Yu felt that both of them were very good, and it was difficult to choose, so she wrote them all and asked them to frame, and they all were given to the master.

At Li Gang's birthday banquet, Li Chengqian gave a good inkstone, and Li Ke gave a set of fine brushes. Xiao Yu sent two calligraphy and paintings, Li Yexu gave a white jade paperweight, the eldest grandson Yiniang gave a pair of clothes, and the eldest princess gave a hand-sewn purse. Xiao Rui, Du He. Wei Shuyu, Chai Lingwu. Gifts were sent.

Li Gang was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth. His beard trembled, he didn't expect to have such a lively birthday here. However, this time he also benefited a lot, and made him also start to think about the relationship between reading and career, you must study to get fame, but reading is not necessarily for fame. There are other ways to contribute.

After Li Gang's deepness, it was about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Changsun Chong asked people to make moon cakes with various fillings, and also sent some familiar people.

The Mid-Autumn Festival passed quickly. Changsun Chong returned to his busy state.

Liu Weifeng came over in person, sent an invitation to the eldest grandson, and said: "Lord eldest grandson, you have the grace of reinvention for us, and three days later will be the day when my five untalented sons will get married." If you have time, you can come over and have a glass of wine. ”

The eldest grandson Chong personally took Liu Weifeng's invitation and said, "Uncle Liu, you're polite, you will definitely bother in three days." ”

"That's really blooming." Liu Weifeng said happily.

Originally, Liu Weifeng just tried it, but he didn't expect Changsun Chong to really agree, and he went back to prepare very happily.

When Liu Muxiang appeared, the eldest grandson Chong, who was drinking with a wine glass, looked straight, but because of the scene, he couldn't rush up. Finally, when the newcomer was sent into the cave room, the eldest grandson Chong had time to talk to Liu Muxiang alone.

"Muxiang, why are you here?" The eldest grandson Chong held Liu Muxiang's hand and didn't let go, and he didn't see it for a day, like every three autumns!

"I'm Xiaomei's sister who gave me a wedding, so naturally I'm coming over." Liu Muxiang said with a smile, although she wanted to admit that she was rushing towards the eldest grandson, but she couldn't say more, it was boring to say more.

"Muxiang, you must be missing me. When Uncle Rong comes, I will go to your house to propose marriage. The eldest grandson Chong hugged the willow wood fragrance tightly and felt the soft body.

"I see you're still busy and then talk, the autumn harvest will be in half a month, and you will definitely be busy." Liu Muxiang is empathetic and doesn't want to cause trouble for the eldest grandson.

"Hehe, Uncle Rong came here, specifically for this matter, so don't get in the way, after the autumn harvest is over, we will go back to Chang'an to complete the marriage." Changsun Chong explained, while Liu Muxiang has not changed his mind, strike while the iron is hot.

"Whatever you want!" Liu Muxiang listened, as if someone was coming, "Hurry up and let go of me!" ”

If someone really came, Li Yexu came over, and when he saw that Liu Muxiang was also there, he felt as if he had disturbed the good things of the young couple, so he quickly turned around and said vigorously: "Hehe, I didn't see it, I didn't see anything." ”

"Hehe, this Li Yexu is very funny." Liu Muxiang said with a smile.

"He is a typical representative of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, by the way, I saw your eldest brother just now, and his body is all right?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

When Liu Muxiang heard this, she said excitedly: "Thank you, my brother is not only better now, but also his body is much better, and his martial arts have also recovered." ”

"That's good, you can rest assured that you can marry me. By the way, your brother's martial arts are so good, what are your plans for the future? Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"My brother said that he is ready to join the army." Liu Muxiang said softly, "Said to support me, he has to work hard." ”

"Well, anyway, you used your brother's name to join the army, and now that he is in the army, your previous credit can still be used. As long as he goes, I will ask Li Yexu to give him a thousand households to do. "Eldest Sun Chong knows Liu Mulan's thoughts.

"Hehe, thank you so much. But don't say it in front of my brother, I'm afraid he won't be able to wipe his face. "Liu Muxiang persuaded.

"No problem, I promise to do it so that your eldest brother can't feel it, let him follow the big bear to familiarize himself with the environment, and wait until he is slowly familiarized." The eldest grandson Chong said indifferently, "Also, your eldest brother, you are not young, it is time to say kiss, with incense, so that you will have no worries about joining the army in the future." ”

"I think so, but my eldest brother doesn't seem to be in a hurry, wait for me to ask him to see if he has a sweetheart, and if so, give my eldest brother a marriage as soon as possible. So that I can be worthy of my dead parents. Yanagi Xiang put her hands together as if in prayer.

At this time, Liu Muxiang's behavior was like a little girl, a cute little girl. Although she is a person with a high military value, in the face of love and affection, she is a woman who needs to be cared for.

Seeing that there was no one left, the eldest grandson Chong hugged Liu Muxiang again and said softly: "Take care, we will be together soon, I will never let you down." ”

"I won't let you down either." Liu Muxiang said solemnly.

When Liu Muxiang followed Xiaomei back to the door on the third day, Changsun Chong was a big bag and brought a lot of things to Liu Muxiang. This is my daughter-in-law who has passed through the door, of course I am willing to do it.

New residential areas, now more and more people, keep coming. Most of them are people from the hometown of the former homeless, and after receiving the letter, they did not mix well in their hometown, so they came to try it, hoping to have a good future. After selling his family's belongings and scraping together enough money for the journey, he finally came here.

Sure enough, they didn't deceive people, they quickly found a job here, and when they saw someone else buying a house, they also followed the house, and by the way, they were also allocated a field, which made everyone ecstatic and full of hope for the future life.

Changsun Chong has been in the field these days, and saw that the cotton bolls gradually turned black and dried up, and the opening on the top cracked, revealing the white cotton wool.

Changsun Chong has seen people picking dried cotton bolls in the cotton field one after another, because there are a lot of cotton bolls growing on a cotton plant, some are big and some are small, some are first, and the big cotton bolls that naturally grow first mature early, and need to be picked off as soon as possible, and those small cotton bolls that are not mature continue to grow, and they can be picked back after they are ripe.

The cotton bolls picked back are put on the bluestone slab in the yard to avoid the cotton bolls from getting dirt on them. Seeing these people carrying a lot of new cotton bolls from the field every day, they know that this year's cotton output is definitely quite a lot.

Li Laohan stayed at the edge of the rice field every day, irrigated the rice every day, and his sons did not complain at all, and everyone was very much looking forward to what kind of surprise the rice could bring. As time passed, the rice matured, and with the addition of the second crop, the rice was very well cared for, there was no shortage of fertilizer and water, and the ears of rice were larger than the first crop.

Finally waited until the grains were full, Li Laohan took his sons to start harvesting rice, and the final yield was ten and a half stones, which made Li Laohan's family kneel down and worship the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, and thank Your Majesty for his wisdom and martial arts!

Straw is a good thing, not only can be used to burn fire, but also can be used to make fertilizer, the rice stubble in the field is carefully turned into the soil to make fertilizer, Li Laohan even put the family's farm manure in it, increase the labor of the land, and look forward to the rice seeds issued by the Ming court.

Originally, Li Laohan was going to use the rice at home as seeds, but the official said that these rice could not be used as seeds, and he was disappointed.

The family's grain harvest is bumper, the rations are available, all the harvest income in other fields can be sold, and the income of more than a dozen taels of silver in his hand can be obtained all year round.

Such a situation appears in the homes of many farmers, feeling that this is the easiest year in their lives, with high-yield crops, for the future life, full of confidence in the imperial court, up and down the hall, the people's aspirations, Zhenguan prosperity has completely kicked off.

The eldest grandson rushed to the endless rice fields, where most of the land had been divided, and the people got news from the officials that the weather conditions in the last ten days were very good and suitable for harvesting, and they began to sharpen their knives to the rice fields. An improved manual harvester was also put into use, which improved labor efficiency. Some people have more money in their hands, and several families buy one, which is also very cost-effective.
