Verse 11 I heard that there was a solar eclipse

Spring ploughing is an eternal event in the Tang Dynasty, even if there is too much grain to be filled, everyone from the emperor to the people still respectfully worships God and prays for good weather this year.

Even if you have a great errand, as long as you are not fighting, the officials must stop and prepare for spring ploughing, and this fashion spreads from the distant Lingnan to the north with the spring breeze blowing across the land.

The emperor took a hundred officials to the first agricultural altar to worship, and then ploughed it himself, the prince took the ox, the emperor supported the plow, the queen sowed the seeds, and the prince covered the ditch, this set of processes must not be wrong at all.

Yun Ye is digging the ridge, a large field more than 100 meters long needs to pile up a ridge to facilitate spring watering, fortunately, Yun Ye did not use the straight shovel of the Tang Dynasty, he used his own marching shovel, no need to plan, and dig the soil, much faster than others, the young man has the strength, and he completed his share in three or two clicks, seeing that Lao Qin was struggling to dig the ground, he rushed over to help Lao Qin dig the ridge, this piece of land is to grow potatoes, so it must be ridged.

Lao Qin's body is getting worse and worse, this old man who should have died in the ninth year of Zhenguan, because of Yun Ye's storage, struggled to live to the eleventh year of Zhenguan, blood transfusion This kind of thing has been accepted by everyone in Chang'an, the bastard who gave Lao Qin a blood transfusion at the beginning, because he needs to give Lao Qin a blood transfusion once a year, has earned a lot of rewards, and now not only is the person fine, but the dolls have given birth to two, this guy in order to maintain this fastest channel to make money, I heard Yun Ye say that eating too much meat is not good for blood, and now he is a vegetarian all day long.

Because of the high title, there is a lot of work, unlike those viscounts, barons, who casually dig twice in the ground, just sit on the mat and bask in the sun to watch the emperor and high-ranking dignitaries busy, the strangest thing is that they seem to be very envious.

In the past, the emperor would just plough these fields casually twice, and the old farmers would do the rest. Since the locust plague that year, Li Er's majesty has changed this rule, and the two hundred acres of imperial land will be completed by the emperor and the nobles themselves, of which the best three acres of Tianzi fertile land will be completed by him and the prince. The queen, Prince Li Tai personally completed it, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

Yun Ye likes the old way, as long as he moves casually twice, everyone will go to the spring banquet, the wine pond meat forest is the life of the aristocracy, now not only do not care about the meal, but ask the nobles to prepare their own meals, and the long-term workers are not used like this.

Cheng bites gold. Niu Jinda, Wei Chigong sat on the other side and watched, it was not appropriate for them to come over to help, Yun Ye could do it, that was because he was a junior, it was natural to help the elders work, no one could say anything, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites even praised Yun Ye's behavior. If they come, they will be naked friends. Although everyone knows that these five families are about to wear a pair of pants, they would rather be known than be seen.

Waiting for Lao Qin to shoot the last shovel of soil, Yun Ye helped Lao Qin to walk to the ground panting, the Qin family did not have a decent junior, this was what Lao Qin was worried about. I don't dare to say goodbye to old age because I am afraid that once I get old, there will be no one in my family who can take the lead.

Last time, he sent a housekeeper to Yuezhou to send money to Yun Ye, but he encountered unprecedented resistance at home, and even his wife persuaded Lao Qin not to jump into the fire pit. Lao Qin used the family method, cleaned up the two sons born to the concubine with a heavy hand, and gave Yun Ye support despite public opinion, for this matter, the old wife washed her face with tears all day long, thinking that Lao Qin regarded Yun Ye as more important than his own son.

If the Qin family had an outstanding son, Qin Qiong would not fancy Yun Ye like this, because no, once the old Qin family wants to pass on the family business well, they must borrow external forces, and Yun Ye is the best choice.

When the housekeeper came back from Yuezhou and told the whole family about his family's advantage in Yuezhou, Lao Qin burst into tears, pointed to his wife and son and said: "This world even needs wisdom and affection to take advantage, you have no wisdom, you have no affection, and you can't even keep up with the pace of others, why should you gain a foothold in this world?"

For Yun Ye, the Qin family is actually a burden, if it weren't for the love in the early years, he would have pulled the Qin family to make a fortune together? Remember, the Qin family can be without wisdom, and they must not be without affection, and they must always occupy one end to be a man. “

Yun Ye, who was holding Lao Qin, obviously felt that the body of this tall old man had collapsed, and the heroes who had snatched the tiger's head and beaten all over Shandong with a pair of golden armor finally disappeared in the long river of history.

What is left now is a shell, a twilight hero who works hard to extend his old life for future generations, unable to fight the tiger or capture the dragon.

"Uncle Qin, send Qin Ying's eldest son to the Yun family, I'm idle, I can teach it."

Lao Qin was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you not accepting disciples?" My generation has said it, and it is like white soap, how can it go back on its word? “

"You know the character of the little nephew, born to be a monkey, impetuous and jumpy, I am not a big hero like you, I have long been used to speaking backsliding, I was trapped to death by a sentence, I can't do what I think in my heart, for the younger generation, it is a kind of torment, the family teacher said, the little nephew can't be a gentleman, and he can't be a villain, he can only mess around in the world, even if the child can't learn the ability to follow me, it's okay to learn to be tactful."

Lao Qin's eyes turned red, he looked up at the sky for a while, patted the back of Yun Ye's hand, and came to the mat on the edge of the ground together.

"Look at it, it's a good spring day, and the weather is also warm, but those miscellaneous hairs of the heavenly eunuch say that there is a solar eclipse, and the tengu eats the sun, why is this terrible celestial statue in the spring?" Cheng Yanjin handed the water bladder to Lao Qin and muttered.

"Uncle Cheng, it's too normal for the tengu to eat days, basically every year."

"Nonsense, your Uncle Cheng and I have lived to be forty-eight years old, and I have met three times in total, and I brought it once a year."

"Uncle, really, the earth is not flat, it is an arc, you could see the solar eclipse in Shandong back then, and you can't see it in Chang'an at the same time, sometimes the solar eclipse occurs in Datang, sometimes it occurs in the eclipse, in short, there will always be several times a year."

"Yuan Tiangang, Li Chunfeng said that the solar eclipse will lead to the death of the country and the king."

"These two bastards really dare to say anything, and they are not afraid that Your Majesty will pull them out and cut them off?"

"What's this, that's what the almanac says, "The Book of the Later Han." Ding Hong's Biography said that the Japanese Yang Essence, the truth is not lost, and the image of the king is also, so what he said is well-founded, you have been absent recently, Your Majesty is very troubled, even the red hat we are wearing, are ready, and on that day, we all have to go to the court with our whole body clothed, and you are no exception. “

"Taishi ordered them to be ready, when the bells and drums of Chang'an will sound in unison, the drums and trumpets in the army will also sound, and the sixteen guards of Chang'an will also be on guard, His Majesty will not go to the palace of the people, but go to the Chenglu Hall instead, and the people will also beat the gongs and drums to drive away the tengu. When the time comes, you follow us closely and don't run around, if you are unlucky at this time, it will be a lifetime thing. ”

Hearing Lao Niu say this, Yun Ye nodded again and again, these ancients who have nothing to do and toss around, who knows what strange things they will do, a solar eclipse, isn't it good for everyone to enjoy this astronomical wonder with a teacup and sunglasses together? You have to put on a red hat and make it look like your natal year is coming.

When the sun reached noon, everyone took out their own food and started lunch, Yun Ye's package was extraordinarily large, no, it would not work, several old men said that they would eat the Yun family if they didn't bring food today, so Yun Ye brought his backpack, and he didn't know what was inside, it was all prepared by Xin Yue.

First took out a roast goose, greasy and greasy was wrapped in lotus leaves, Yu Chi stretched out his hand and took it, he likes the big one, so big a roast goose, it is estimated that it is not enough for him to eat.

The roast duck was taken away by Lao Cheng, he had a sharp knife that could be sharpened and eaten, put the roast duck on the mat, and waited for Yun Ye to find out the sauce and dip it to eat, the old cow likes fried meatballs, and he likes the beef meatballs with good elasticity and toughness the most, Xin Yue knew that the old man liked it, so he specially packed a big bag, and the old cow's eyes were sealed.

Lao Qin's spleen and stomach were weak, and a bamboo tube was thrown into the boiling water pot next to it by Yun Ye, and when the heat was all permeable, he took it out and opened the lid, and a bamboo tube of lotus seed soup was enough for Lao Qin to drink for half a day.

"Keep the hooves for me." Li Er rolled up his trouser legs, the hem of his robe tucked into his belt, he really looked like an old farmer, clapped his hands and sat down, waiting for Yun Ye to bring him food, saying that he was also tired all morning.

Yun Ye rummaged for a while before finding the hoof, and hurriedly sent it to Li Er, this thing needs to be hot to be delicious, and it is not good to eat cold, Li Er took the hoof and ignored Yun Ye's warning that he would eat it after heating it, and tore off a large piece of skin and stuffed it into his mouth to chew vigorously.

"The wine is also taken out, I know that you brought it, although the Ministry of Rites is not allowed to drink, it is estimated that you have taken their words as a deaf ear, take it out, I take a sip, and relieve your fatigue."

The wine jug was sent up, and the guards obviously wanted to check it, but they were driven away by Li Er, took a big sip with their necks up, and stuffed it to Qin Qiong casually, Qin Qiong has not drunk alcohol for many years, since it was given by the emperor, the poison will be drunk, not to mention that wine is already a good thing he has been looking forward to for a long time, there is a reason not to drink. As soon as I raised my neck, half of the pot went down, holding my breath, and let out a long breath, looking happy.

When Lao Cheng handed the wine jug to Yun Ye, he didn't need to look at it, there would not be a drop left in it, Yun Ye took out all the food in his backpack, piled it on the mat, found a branch and inserted two buns and roasted them on the charcoal ash until they were golden brown, and then gave them to the emperor.

I took chicken legs, eggs, chicken feet, tofu skin, these pickled vegetables, and the bamboo tube containing the mash also took one, buns, and balls to pick up some and go to the queen, today there is a woman here who needs special care. As for Li Chengqian, Li Tai took the bittersweet millet bun and blinked his eyes at Yun Ye, the right to be invisible, every year when he ploughed, the royal family had to remember the bittersweet and sweet, this is a tradition, and he can't slack off.
