Chapter 259: A thief

Mrs. Niu took two steps out, suddenly stopped and asked, "Huh?" We don't have so many livestock! I know those horses, they brought them with Huang Da, and they bought new mules? I don't know. ”

Chang'an explained: "Milk, it's a mule cart rented by the dart bureau, the New Year's dart bureau is on holiday, don't go darts, before the fifteenth day of the first month, let's send the mule cart back." ”

Mrs. Niu snorted: "Ouch! I sent it away, and it won't be a few days after I get clean, but I'll be back on the fifteenth. ”

Cai Kun returned to the courtyard, raised his eyes and saw Changbao endorsing in the courtyard, nodded with satisfaction, but said coldly: "The last policy was not well written, and you can't die reading." When you go to the library again, you have to discuss with people more, the economy and people's livelihood are all knowledge, do you understand? ”

"Yes, the eldest brother-in-law taught me a lesson, and I wrote it down." Changbao said honestly.

Chang'an yawned and took Lidong to find food, he was deprived of the right to sleep until he woke up naturally, and he wanted to help the confused people in Zhan Shifu's settle accounts.

Mrs. Niu brought a bowl of steamed milk, put it in front of Chang'an, and helped her grandson peel eggs with her own hands.

"Fat dun! Tell me, are you an official now? Your father was also an official for a few days.

You? Did you bully you, your father was bullied at the beginning, he was pitiful, I heard that when I went to a meeting, I didn't even give a stool to sit on, and I stood by the door to listen, and it was disgusting. ”

Chang'an explained: "Milk, I'm not an official, I'm just going to help." No one bullied me, we want to provide cement to the imperial court, and we need to calculate the amount of cement. ”

"Oh! That's it! Then you calculate well, the burned mud and ash are worthless, it takes a lot of effort to transport them, people eat horses and chew along the way, these plate fees must be counted, we don't make more money, we can't lose money, right? "Mrs. Niu heard that she is not an official, so she lacks interest.

Chang'an responded: "Yes, I wrote it down." ”

Mrs. Niu then nagged: "Help is also in the middle!" We don't have anything to say to help the court, but you are not an official now, you still have to take the exam. Since the official body of the exam, the waist board is hard! You tell the court that helping is in the middle, and you can't delay your exam. ”

Chang'an nodded while eating eggs, drank milk in a few sips, and shouted to Lidong: "Let's go!" ”

After the New Year, Dong Xiaoying was busy cleaning the house and pasting window flowers. Mrs. Niu took the stuffy man to deliver pastries in the morning, and then went to the shop to work, and came back in the evening.

In winter, it gets dark early, and it is already dark by the time we have dinner around five o'clock. After a tired day, Mrs. Niu went to check on the cows and went to bed on the kang early. A family of four, accustomed to a modern routine, gathers in the space at eight o'clock in the evening.

The family gossiped in the space, not knowing that there was a mess outside.

At home in the space, Fang Mingyuan reported with a smile, "Except for those who went to exchange silver tickets and didn't come back, the rest are all back."

This year, the rich have passed a fat year, there is food, and each family will be paid according to the division of work, and women and the elderly can also receive 100 copper plates. is to congratulate them, if they let their mothers see it, they will be able to cry in distress. ”

"What's wrong?" Dong Xiaoying asked.

Fang Mingyuan said: "He He's thin face was picked, Kang Kang was measuring the ground on the mountain, he was tired and fainted, so that the mountain people stuffed a fresh ginseng in their mouths, chewed a few bites, and really took care of things, and never fainted again." Xiaoxiao is amazing now! My fingers are calloused, and I can write official documents with my eyes closed. ”

Chang'an pointed to the agate on the coffee table and asked, "Dad, is this agate?" ”

Fang Mingyuan nodded and said, "Have you opened your eyes?" Gold agate, such a big piece, I can't sell it, it's better to be auspicious and dedicated to the emperor. ”

Fang Yue held the agate in both hands and looked at it, "Dad, I watched on TV, the emperor's jade seal is so big, and I don't know what the jade seal here looks like, or, you carve a seal for the emperor?" ”

Dong Xiaoying looked at the agate rarely, "If this can be brought back, at the auction, it will not be able to auction hundreds of millions?" What to do to the emperor. How many people know this baby? How good it would be for us to keep it as an heirloom. ”

Chang An shook his head and said, "Mom, don't worry about everything, you want to be a family heirloom." There are not many people who know, and we can't keep this thing. ”

Fang Mingyuan said: "What are you keeping it for?" If it's gold, something that has maintained its value for many years, let's keep it, a broken stone, don't eat or drink, you keep it and smash walnuts! ”

Chang'an said: "I think it's good to carve a flying dragon and dedicate it to the emperor." ”

Fang Yue immediately said: "I've seen a copy of the Nine Dragon Seals, I'll draw a sketch." Brother, you can paint another fine one, and strive to carve the Nine Dragon Seal. ”

Fang Mingyuan said with a smile: "Okay, good, you draw pictures, and if we have the craftsmen, we will carve the Nine Dragon Seal." ”

It's not her own thing, so Dong Xiaoying doesn't pay much attention to it, so as not to see it in her eyes and pull it out.

"I'll tell you, let's go back in the spring, An An has the prince's permission to stay in the capital Qiuqiu." Dong Xiaoying said.

Fang Mingyuan frowned and asked, "Try it in Jingcheng Township?" ”

Chang'an said: "Yes, it is estimated that the competition in Jingcheng and Rural is fiercer than Leping. ”

"Don't give yourself a problem, let's go back to the test!" Dong Xiaoying said.

The old lady Niu outside was anxiously patting her granddaughter's face, and took the time to reach out and pinch her daughter-in-law.

What happened?

As soon as he fell asleep at night, he heard the bell ringing on the back house, and the monkey set a tripping bell on the roof of the back house before leaving. The stuffy man came out dressed to see if it was a passing thief, and when he went in, he found that the man in black was pouring oil on the window and curtain.

The other men in black did not panic when they saw their companions fall to the ground, and separated two to fight with the stuffy, and one took out a fire fold and blew the house.

At this time, there was smoke in the front yard, and the stuffy man glanced back, it was the courtyard of the little young master, and his heart was angry, and his hands were even darker. Hit the other Heavenly Spirit cover with a bolt in his hand, and his brains were all dried up.

In the gatehouse of the front yard, the wooden stake heard Lidong's shout, and first lit the seven-star lantern, which is a kind of Kong Ming lantern, which is a signal used by the brothers on the road to communicate.

Then, regardless of whether the wooden stake was useful or not, he used the signal flare that had been sent to the gatekeeper by Guan Jia, pulled down the pull ring under the bamboo tube, and with a bang, the signal flare exploded in the night sky.

It took less than ten seconds to do this, and the stake ran backwards with the fire-extinguishing barrel in the gatehouse.

When I entered the courtyard of Chang'an, I saw that Changbao was already putting out the fire. The stake hurriedly poured water into the bucket that was extinguishing the fire, and shook the barrel a few times, and the stake smashed the barrel fire extinguisher into the wall above the window lattice.

Lidong came out of the smoking house with the sleeping Chang'an on his back.

Cai Kun came over with a wooden barrel at this time, the barrel was full of fine sand, and he knew that his hands were not strong enough, so it was impossible to throw the barrel on the beam, stuffed the wooden barrel to the wooden stake, and squatted down to check the situation in Chang'an.

The biggest disadvantage of the stuffy man is that he doesn't like to talk, you fight with people, you are desperate, why don't you know how to shout?

When she finally entered the yard, Mrs. Niu heard the bell on the roof of the house ringing and came out with the prepared copper coins.

She knew that when the roof bell rang, it was a thief. The 200 yuan strung with red rope is the money that has been prepared for a long time to buy the road.

When I came out, I saw a dark shadow jumping from the roof, and then I heard a cry outside, as if it was the voice of Sister-in-law Xing.

She ran to the front yard, Sister-in-law Xing had collapsed to the ground in fright, and there was a dead man with a flowering head lying in the yard, and another one who didn't know whether he was dead or alive, lying motionless and scared.

"Emma! What's going on? Burglar? Mrs. Niu slapped her thigh and shouted: "Fourth daughter-in-law, fourth daughter-in-law!" Chick, chick! ”
