Qiu Yi thought to herself: How can the two of you, one of you be the son of a rich family heirloom in the history books, and the other is the leader of the flower country that everyone is eager for? When you are desperate, don't say that you are selling words to make a living, if it really reaches the point of running out, it is also very possible to cook and eat these calligraphy, painting and poetry manuscripts.

However, it is inconvenient for Qiu Yizhi to say this, only that Mr. Lin and Miss Wu are of noble character, not comparable to Lu beetle like him.

In this way, Lin Shuhan and Wu Ruofei carefully arranged the two carts with them, and rested in the manor for a day before setting off for Shanyin County.

When Qiu Yizhi came to Jinling City this time, in addition to Wei Chi Jiming, he also ordered ten personal soldiers to come together. Originally, Qiu Yizhi planned to borrow Qin Cha Xingyuan from Zheng Xin to settle them, but because many of them were injured due to conflicts with the Japanese people, Qiu Yizhi specially outsourced a secluded inn in Jinling City, and gave them more silver taels to recuperate.

After nearly a month of recuperation, these people have not only recovered from their injuries, but also grown fat and strong, and their complexion is better than when they first came to Jinling.

So among the group-Qiu Yizhi and Wei Chi Jiming each took a horse, Lin Shuhan sat on a healthy donkey, Wu Ruofei and Yang Ying'er sat in the carriage, and drove two other carts full of Lin Shuhan's soft car, and the rest of the soldiers rode horses and some walked-all the way to Shanyin County.

At that time, the midsummer has passed, and it is almost early autumn, although the weather is still hot, but there is a cool breeze from time to time, which makes people feel very comfortable. Qiu Yi's trip is different from the past, there is no task in the body, enjoy the lake and mountains along the way, and talk with Uncle Lin with him, talk about the past and the present, walk unhurriedly, very happy.

On this day, the group climbed over a hill along the official road, and when their mouths were dry, they saw a simple tent at the foot of the mountain, in which there were three tables of eight immortals and a dozen chairs of various colors.

Qiu Yizhi has been on this road four or five times, and he has never seen such a tea stall, so he was slightly suspicious in his heart, so he asked Yu Chi Jiming beside him: "Ji Ming, you have walked this road I don't know how many times, do you remember that there is such a stall here?" ”

Although Yu Chi Jiming is a woman, she has grown up in a pile of men since she was a child, and her mind is not as detailed as that of ordinary women, after listening to Qiu Yizhi's question, she scratched her head and replied: "I don't remember very well, it seems to be, and it doesn't seem to be." Why did my uncle ask this? ”

Qiu Yizhi has experienced life and death several times, and is a shrewd person, so he said: "I always feel a little strange here, but I can't tell what is strange......

Yu Chi Jiming smiled "hehe" and said: "My father said that my uncle is bold, there is no place in the world that my uncle does not dare to go, and there is no person who my uncle does not dare to go against him. But I don't know when my uncle became so timid? If you think this tea stall is weird, just go and check it out, what's the good of doubting it here? ”

Qiu Yizhi glanced at Yu Chi Jiming, thinking that with a niece like her with outstanding martial arts guarding her, there must be no accidents, so he nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!" According to Ji Ming's meaning, let's go and take a look. If it's really weird, we have a lot of people on our side, and we immediately took care of it, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people; If it is an ordinary tea shop, it is good to drink two sips of tea here and rest. ”

So the group rode horses, drove cars, and walked on foot, taking advantage of the mountain, and came to the tea stall at the foot of the mountain.

Chi Jiming, the same lieutenant of Qiu Yizhi, took the lead and walked down the mountain, and looked into the tent, but saw two men, an old man and a young man, boiling water and wiping the table in the shed.

Qiu Yi got off the horse and rushed to the two men in the stall and asked, "I said two fellows, I often walk this official road, why did I see you setting up a stall here for the first time?" ”

One of the younger men, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, said, "What are you doing here?" My family still lives near here! Today, our two grandfathers opened their doors well, and it was also opened the first day. ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that there were no farmhouses in the barren mountains and mountains here, so he asked: "This big brother, I don't see that there are many people nearby, why did you think of setting up a stall here?" ”

The man raised his eyes and glanced at Qiu Yi, but the work in his hand did not slow down in the slightest, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it is because there are no people around here that we chose this place to set up a stall to do business with passing merchants." If there are teahouses and restaurants everywhere, who will come to drink our herbal tea? ”

Although this young man's tone was rude, it was not completely unreasonable, which made Qiu Yizhi unable to refute, and he was stunned for a while.

But I heard another rather old man say: "I said, all the guests who come, why do you talk as if you have eaten gunpowder?" Everyone who opens the door to do business is like you, who still comes to the door? ”

The young man was taught a few words by the old man, and seemed to be a little angry, so he simply left the rag that was still wiping the table, chair and bench in his hand, squatted on the side, lit a dry tobacco, and smoked it "whirring".

Seeing this, the old man sighed, put down the fan in his hand, walked to Qiu Yizhi and arched his hand, and said, "Don't be angry, this is my son, and I have been spoiled since I was a child." Look at him in his twenties, tall and big, but still like a child. Please forgive me! ”

Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "There is a way to 'fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers', and it is rare for your old father and son to set up a stall here." ”

The old man replied: "Now is the time of the farm, and idleness is idle, so I took my son over to set up a stall and make a little money, so that the visiting officials can moisten their throats, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good." I didn't tell the guest that I was going to drag my son over two days ago, but he was too hot and would not come out today. You see, it hasn't opened yet. ”

Qiu Yizhi saw that the old man's dark face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like a farmer, so he relaxed his vigilance a little and said: "What the uncle's son said is not bad, the farmer works hard all year round, and it is good to rest on such a hot day." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "At first glance, Gongzi is a scholar, right?" The old man doesn't know a single word, and I don't know if there is any mention of our hard work in farming in the sage book. Childe, you see that our father and son are cultivating in this mountain col, and we can't get a few hundred catties of grain all year round, except for what we eat, it's almost the same. If you don't come out now to do some small business, you won't have the money to make a new dress during the Chinese New Year. ”

Qiu Yizhi listened very seriously, but after listening to Lin Shuhan behind him, he said: "The sage knows astronomy, geography, and human feelings, how can he not talk about things here?" If you don't believe me, please listen to the first sentence of the opening sentence of "University": "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection". It's just that the current officials have read all the books to the stomach of a dog, and they have forgotten even such superficial teachings as saints. ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Lin is scolding me for being a dog?" ”

Lin Shuhan smiled "hehe": "Of course not." I'm talking about those mediocre officials who are on a vegetarian diet, as long as the adults care about the people, they are not dogs. ”

Qiu Yizhi said: "It's okay for Mr. to say that I'm a dog." Don't you hear, 'The saints are unkind, but use the people as dogs'? is destined to be a lackey of the sage, and it can be regarded as getting what he wants. ”

The old man listened to Qiu Yizhi and Lin Shuhan's words and I answered each other, but it was like falling into a fog, and it took a long time to take over the conversation and say: "When I heard that the two of them were learned people, they said so much, and the old man didn't understand a word. However, the two of them also said that their mouths were dry, how about eating a bowl of herbal tea from an old man? ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard this, and thought: Although this old man is honest and honest, he seems to be too hospitable, but he can't trust it all.

So he asked again: "It's not a hurry to drink tea." I'm just curious, why don't the old people put a good land and don't plant it, but come here to reclaim the wasteland? Although he does not farm, he also knows some farming, which is called farming, which is both laborious and unflattering, and few people are willing to suffer this hardship. ”

The old man didn't seem to hear the tentative meaning in Qiu Yi's words, and asked rhetorically, "This gentleman listens to the accent, is he from the north?" ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said, "That's right, the surname is 'Xia', the summer of summer." I don't know what the old man is called? ”

The old man said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Xia, I don't have a title for the old man, but the surname is Zhao, and the one who is called Lao Zhao is me, and that is my son, and the villagers call him Xiao Zhao." ”

He paused, and then said, "No wonder Mr. is from the north, but I don't know the terroir of our Jiangnan." Jiangnan is not as fertile as Jiangbei, although the land is more fertile, but there are more people and less land. In recent years, I have heard that the north has been hit by disasters, but the south has been in good weather, and the rent has risen again and again. Old man, I am thinking that if it continues to rise this year, it will be difficult to eat and wear. Therefore, I thought that the new emperor would sit in the palace and encourage the opportunity to open up the wasteland, and go to this ownerless land to cultivate. After three years and five years, this land will be owned by my old Zhao family. Even if it's been two years of hard work now, it's worth it. ”

Qiu Yizhi pondered for a long time, then turned his head and said to Lin Shuhan: "Although what this old man said is simple and easy to understand, it is really a great article that has helped the people in the world!" I don't know how many of the officials who are holding up above the temple can understand. ”

didn't wait for Lin Shuhan to reply, but heard Old Man Zhao say: "I don't look like this guest official is running north and south, but like an official who has a private interview with Weifu!" The old man has no doorkeeper on his lips, and he said the wrong thing, but don't cure me! ”

Qiu Yi was shocked and was about to deny it, but she heard Xiao Zhao, who was squatting on the side, say loudly: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about with them?" If they are willing to eat tea, we will make it; If they refuse to eat, let them go quickly, so as not to block our signboard! ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled when he heard this, and said to Lao Zhao: "Lord Zhao's son is a fast talker, and he is quite similar to my subordinate named Wang Lao Wu!" I just don't know if I can get married? ”

Old man Zhao smiled: "My son is lazy and stupid, and he has no ability, but he is a good hand at pleasing his wife." He got married and started a family three years ago, and his daughter-in-law did more than his son might have done, and he gave birth to a pair of grandchildren. If you don't want to leave them an inheritance, the old man and I are almost fifty people, why would I still suffer so much? ”

Qiu Yizhi listened to what the old man Zhao said, but he also relaxed his guard a little, and said: "Okay, today's speculation with the old man." I'll drink a bowl of tea from the old man here, and I'll help you make a fortune in the city. There are nearly 20 people in my line, I don't know if the old man's tea is enough? ”

"Ouch! Childe is really my God of Wealth! Old man Zhao exclaimed, and shouted to his son again, "Don't be lazy, there is not enough water and tea, why don't you run and ask your wife to bring tea!" ”
