Chapter Twenty-Seven: The White Horse Passes Through the Gap
"Old man, why did you beat this child?" When a few people approached, they found that the old man and the child were eating, and there were two pairs of dishes and chopsticks under the wall.
The old man's name is Li Quanfa, he is seventy-five years old this year, some of them are old, and their eyes are a little dizzy, but their ears are not deaf, and they heard a few outsiders coming over, and they opened their eyes vigorously, and they actually found that the person standing behind a middle-aged man in front of him was the owner of the village.
"Oh, it's actually the owner, sit down, sit down, have you eaten? The little old man's family is having lunch, and the girl went to the field to deliver food to Tunzi, if the owner of the village doesn't dislike it, let's have a meal together! The old man said very enthusiastically.
The old man didn't know Li Er, let alone Fang Xuanling, so he naturally only took care of Xu Yang in this group of people.
"Forehead ......" scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and Xu Yang said, "Grandpa Li, this is ...... It's an official from Chang'an, and he just asked why you beat your Xiaobao? Xu Yang hurriedly asked, not answering Li Er's question, if he was angry, the family would be unlucky.
"Uh-oh." The old man seemed to finally hear the question clearly, and his face became a little angry and said: "This little rabbit cub is shouting for meat, his father has not come back from working in the field, this little rabbit cub can't help and is still shouting to eat meat, and the old man wants to teach him a lesson." ”
Li Er was curious, he had just seen a few pieces of meat in someone's bowl on the road, why didn't the family eat meat?
"Old man, why don't you let your grandson eat meat? Is it because you can't afford to eat? Li Er asked curiously.
The old man looked Li Er up and down, seeing that his clothes were not very luxurious. I thought it was a small official of the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Households. Relying on his advanced age of being in his seventies. It is not necessary to sell the faces of these small officials, and said with some disdain: "Eat meat? What kind of meat do you eat every year? It's only been a few years since you've eaten enough? The old man has lived seventy and five, and he can count the years when he can eat a full meal, and he has to count these two years, eating meat? This is something that only a loser can do. ”
Li Er was stunned, but he couldn't speak.
The old man no longer paid attention to Li Er, who was in a daze, but turned his head to Xu Yang and said, "Owner, how many officials is this guy?" It's not that the little old man said. The imperial court always sent some such petty officials to visit, and persuaded the old man to eat more meat all day long, and these individuals who are now enjoying happiness are all guilty, and they still eat meat, and they want the old man to say, Your Majesty has to come out and take care of this matter, otherwise if these officials continue to be defeated like this, this prosperous era that has come so hard will be gone. ”
The old man's words were too rebellious, and the guards next to Li Er were hesitating to kill this bastard old man, and Xu Yang's face was already frightened. I was afraid that Li Erhui, who was on the side, would be furious and ordered to kill such a family of four.
However, Xu Yang is obviously at a low point, Li Er's mind and courage. I saw that he was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily, took two steps forward, held the old man's hand and said: "What the old man said is that diligence and thrift have always been the foundation of my Tang Dynasty. Li Er said that, and made a big salute to the old man, and then turned around and left.
Following Li Er, who left, Xu Yang's heart was very worried, and it was the most difficult to guess the emperor's heart, who knew what Li Er was thinking now, but judging from his sincere words just now, Li Er seemed to be really thanking the old man.
There is no goal, the group is wandering around in the Zhuangzi, Li Er walks on the stone road with his hands behind his back, everything feels fresh when he sees it, and when he sees the courtyard with the gate open, he walks in straight to see, familiar as if it is his home, but also, the entire Tang Dynasty is his family, and whoever enters the door follows his own house, without any sense of disobedience.
Li Er likes to look at the grain stacks in the farmers' homes, the two-story buildings built by the farmers, and the bacon hanging and the fat pigs in the pigsty.
Every time he went to a new farmer, Li Er would greet the villagers warmly, in front of the civil and military officials, he was the supreme emperor, but in front of these people, he became a cordial confidant, without a trace of the emperor's majesty.
The livestock in the farmer's house were photographed by him, and because Xu Yang followed, the farmers also greeted him with a smile, allowing him to experience the warmth and hospitality of the farmers.
Until the last one, out of the courtyard is the field in the distance, and there is a cement road leading directly to the outside of the village, Li Er seems to be a little unsatisfied, there is still a faint smile on his face, the sun is just right, the field is the towering foothills of Nanshan, the other side of the mountain is Nanshan Academy, and further away is the cement factory, brick yard and the like, judging from the smoke floating in the distance, it can be seen that there is also a hot place.
"I'm really happy today." Li Er felt it and said: "How I hope that such a prosperous scene will never be finished, the people have something to rely on, the young have support, men and women weave, this kind of scene will only appear in my dreams, Xu Yang, you have done a good job." After Li Er finished speaking, he seemed to be a little tired, and waved his hand to the person behind him, "I'm a little tired, I won't go to the academy today, prepare the carriage, and I will drive back to the palace." ”
After Li Er finished speaking, several sturdy men followed behind him seemed to have heard some supreme order, and the two went to the bottom of the mountain to call a carriage together, and soon, the steps prepared by more than 30 people were carried up the mountain, Li Er waved his hand at Xu Yang, and left Xujiazhuang without saying anything......
The next day, Li Er announced at the court meeting that he would double the size of the Luoyang Palace that was built, and that the first Qiē would focus on diligence and thrift, and all the extra money originally planned would be distributed to the poor people in Luoyang for them to live.
When he saw this news in the "Datang News", Xu Yang also showed a wise smile, sometimes the persuasion of the courtiers could not have any impact on the emperor, and it was the most simple people who could really touch people's hearts......
Time flies, the tail of April is fleeting, and a hurried May has not been able to stop the pace of time, and Datang has ushered in a somewhat hot June.
Everything has changed from emerald green to verdant, with a hint of warmth in its vitality.
Xujiazhuang has also begun to become a little nervous recently, that is, the child in Jin Shengman's belly is about to come, and the seven-month-old belly is like swallowing a leather ball.
Sometimes Xu Yang gently stroked Jin Shengman's stomach, and he could see the bloodshot on the stomach that was obviously supported, and Xu Yang was very worried that Jin Shengman's stomach was bursting at that time.
But fortunately, don't worry, there is already a person in the village, the mother of the eldest son and eldest grandson, and the status of Liu Mengli's grandmother is unshakable, so for the child in Jin Shengman's belly, whether it is male or female, Liu Mengli also prays for the safety of mother and son.
With experience is an excellent job, Xu Yang learned well this time, and built a sunny house, using glass as a window, which can be exposed to the sun every day, and Xu Yang also let people often burn vinegar and sterilize in this hut.
When a pregnant woman is clumsy, everything is slowly soaring, but Xu Yang does not dislike Jin Shengman at all, not only serving her daily life and diet on weekdays, but even going out in the middle of the night is Xu Yang personally to serve, which also makes Liu Mengli jealous, when she gave birth to a child, Xu Yang was not so dedicated.
"I wasn't inexperienced at the time." Xu Yang used this sentence to prevaricate every time, but when he saw that Liu Mengli was still unhappy, he would come up and say some love words.
The women of the Tang Dynasty are a little unreasonable, as long as they say a little bit of sensational love words, they will be soft, their cheeks are hot, and their faces are flushed as if they have drunk liquor, and now someone in the academy is performing the drama of "Liang Zhu", every time Liang Shanbo confesses to Zhu Yingtai, the academy can hear a burst of excited voices of male students crying wolf, and the immunity of the Tang people to love words can be seen, so every time Xu Yang encounters something unsolvable, he will use love words to solve it...... (To be continued......)
