248 Rice Flower
Mencius said: "If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will be good to the world." ”
Chen Qian has always been such a person, when Lin Jianshen showed him Zhaoxue, posthumously sealed him, sorted out his poetry collections and deeds during his lifetime, Wan Chaoyun was fortunate to see those books that were compiled into volumes, and he knew that he had a noble character and a pure heart.
"The folk girl wants to go with the adults and do her part, I don't know if it's okay?" She also wants to be a person who does good deeds every day, trying to make her life as full as possible and leave no regrets.
This seemed to be expected, Chen Qian nodded without thinking about it, "Actually, the reason why this official talked to you about this matter is to ask you for a favor." ”
"My lord, please say, as long as it is within the power of the people's daughters, it will definitely live up to the expectations of the adults." She was glad that she was useful to Chen Qian.
"You'll see it when you get there." Chen Qian didn't say it directly, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and patted his head and said with annoyance: "Look at me, how did you forget this, Miss Wan, some of the peaches at home are ripe, and the official picks some as a return gift for eating your puffs." ”
In fact, Wan Chaoyun didn't give Chen Qian any gifts, the ones he ate were all things she sent to the ministry to Wen Jiyou a few days ago, Wen Jiyou distributed them to his colleagues, and his colleagues gave him some.
"Your Excellency, you're welcome."
Chen Qian didn't allow her to refuse, and said that he had gone to the garden.
Wan Chaoyun was helpless, so he had to go over with him, Xia Zhiguan was worried that Wan Chaoyun would be embarrassed, so he found a topic to talk to her, "Miss Wan, our Nanchen's peaches are famous far and wide, and countless people come to the door to ask for peaches to eat every year, and adults are reluctant to give them." ”
Hearing this, Wan Chaoyun was dumbfounded, it turned out that Chen Qian's mansion was called Nan Chen, and yes, his mansion was in the direction of the south, and Chen Baisheng's house was in the west.
"Being able to eat the peaches of Chen's Mansion is a blessing for the people's daughters." Wan Chaoyun said sincerely.
Turn around the verandah, the path, and come to the garden, the garden is the only place to go to the old lady's yard, and it is to go out, and I didn't see the other masters of the Chen family all the way, Wan Chaoyun was a little puzzled, what about the Chen family?
She didn't know that Chen Jiaqi was sent by his father to be an official, but even if Chen Jiaqi was here, plus his wife, there were too few people in the Chen family.
People are so scarce, no wonder Xia Zhiguan is a staff member, and he can also go in and out of the backyard, and there is only the old lady in the backyard.
"Miss Wan, don't be rusty when you talk in the future, last time I said, let you call me teacher, it's not for fun." Chen Qian stretched out his hand and picked a peach that was half red and handed it to Xia Zhiguan, "This year's peaches grow better than in previous years." ”
"If it is peaceful and prosperous today, even peaches will give face." Xia Zhiguan answered.
"I'll go out of the city later, and the rice should bloom." He and Xia Zhiguan were talking while picking peaches, as if Wan Chaoyun was not there.
Xia Zhiguan thought for a moment, "It may take a few days, but some of them are blooming, but if you want to see a large number of rice flowers, you may have to wait a few days, why don't you go in a few days?" ”
"If you are free today, you will go today, and if you are free in a few days, you will go again." The two were talking, and before they knew it, they had picked a lot of peaches, and Xia Zhiguan couldn't put down the bamboo basket he brought from the side.
Wan Chaoyun, who tried to search for his memory, but couldn't remember what the rice flowers looked like, hurriedly stopped, "My lord, it's too much, I can't finish it......"
"It's gone, and the rest isn't ripe yet." Chen Qian said with a smile, he took three fruits, went to the pool next to him to wash them in person, and then handed them to Wan Chaoyun and Xia Zhiguan, "It's not early, we have to hurry." ”
He was in a hurry, and Wan Chaoyun couldn't postpone it any longer, so Liu Mei and Rose worked together to carry a heavy basket of peaches into the carriage.
Chen Qian and Xia Zhiguan went to the wrong door, and the carriage of the two was also extremely low-key, if she hadn't seen Chen Qian sitting in it with her own eyes, she would never have thought that such an ordinary carriage would sit as the head of the court.
In the carriage, Wan Chaoyun took a bite of peaches, which were a little soft and sweet, which was the taste she liked, "It's delicious, you can eat it too." ”
Rose and Liu Mei also wanted to eat it, but there were peach hairs on the peaches, so they could only watch Wan Chaoyun eat the peaches bigger than her fist until there was only a small pit left.
After traveling for almost an hour, the carriage finally stopped, "Girl, it's here." The coachman's voice came.
When Wan Chaoyun got out of the car, the first thing that caught his eye was a low house, these houses did not form a yard, looked old and messy, it was when people were busy, and there were few people in front of the house and behind the house.
Chen Qian personally carried a bag of rice from the carriage, Xia Zhiguan carried oil and vegetables, Wan Chaoyun immediately stepped forward to help with the pastries, and instructed Liu Mei: "Take some peaches." ”
A few people entered from the narrow alley, turning a somewhat stinky stone path, the path was lined with house walls, the lighting was not good, and there was accumulated stinky water, but Chen Qian, who was carrying rice in front, didn't care at all.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally came to a farmer's house, the old door was closed, but the sound of chickens could be heard inside.
Chen Qian knocked on the door with one hand free, and after a while, the old door opened, revealing a pale woman's face, the woman looked in her thirties, with good facial features, but because she was too haggard, she looked old.
When she saw Chen Qian, her eyes immediately lit up, as if the night suddenly met the light.
"You're here." She grinned.
Although people are ordinary, their laughter is inexplicably moving.
"Send you some rice, how about paying for school?" Chen Qian's expression was compassionate, his tone was friendly, and the dilapidated environment was no longer decaying because of his arrival.
"Yes." The woman excitedly gave up her place, revealing the young man who was writing by the window.
Chen Qian carried the rice in, and Xia Zhiguan smiled at the woman and said, "Mrs. Liu is better?" ”
Mrs. Liu also smiled and nodded, but in the face of Xia Zhiguan, there was no light in her eyes, only gratitude, "Thank you Mr. Xia for your concern, it's much better." ”
"That's good." The oil in Xia Zhiguan's hand was lard in a jar, no lighter than rice, and his hands were a little unbearable, so he hurriedly entered the house and put down the oil and vegetables.
At this time, Mrs. Liu noticed Wan Chaoyun, the girl was noble, soft and sweet, and she knew that she was born in a rich and noble family at a glance, "Who is this girl?" ”
"My girl's surname is Wan." Liu Mei didn't know why, and inexplicably didn't like this Liu lady.
Wan Chaoyun was slightly blessed, which was regarded as a courtesy, "I took the liberty to come to the door and disturbed it." ”
The smile on Mrs. Liu's face froze, but quickly returned to normal, "It is my blessing that the girl can deign to come to my little broken house, where can it be disturbing?" Miss Wan, please. ”
For some reason, Wan Chaoyun felt that this Liu Niangzi was inexplicably hostile to her, and seemed to know that she was not Chen Qian's family, and should know Chen Qian very well.
The house is small, the ornaments are old, but it is clean, there are dried flowers hanging on the wall, and a poem by Chen Qian, the handwriting is not from Chen Qian's handwriting, it should be written by the woman herself, and I don't know what kind of background and experience she has, she can write, and the handwriting is beautiful.
Chen Qian sat down after putting down the rice and watched the little boy write, the little boy couldn't hear the sound, and he couldn't speak, but he could already recognize many words.
He wrote a line on the paper: "Fu Xue thanks Mr. Yun." ”
Wan Chaoyun was stunned, Mr. Yun? Are you talking about Chen Qian?
Xia Zhi saw her doubts, and hurriedly prompted: "Our Mr. Yun often helps people in need in this area, so you don't have to be polite. ”
There are very few powerful people who don't know Chen Qian in the capital, but it is difficult for the people at the bottom to have the opportunity to know him.
Wan Chaoyun felt that his two hearts were really big, wasn't he afraid that she would leak his mouth?
Thinking like this, Chen Qian cast a trusting gaze, as if to say that the official believes in your cleverness......
Chen Qian wrote a few words of encouragement, and then said goodbye and left, but he didn't stay for too long, but Wan Chaoyun still saw Liu Niangzi's reluctance to endure, on the other hand, Chen Qian was calm, humble and gentlemanly, and there was no emotion in his eyes except compassion.
After going out of the house, the men got into the carriage and headed out of the city, this time in about half an hour.
Stepping off the carriage, what comes into view is a large rice field, green rice, overflowing with rice fragrance, wave after wave, the sun is in the west, the golden warm sun hits the whole green, a good picture of water full of rice and leaves.
Chen Qian stood on the ridge of the field, Wan Chaoyun stood behind him, watching him look into the distance, where was the end of the rice field, and watched him bend down to check the rice heading, under the sun, his figure was majestic and tall, like a giant who held up the canopy for the people of the world.
"My lord, when the ears are full, the rice fragrance is more abundant." Xia Zhiguan gently broke a branch of rice and looked at it carefully.
Chen Qian walked slowly along the roots of the field, and when he encountered the yellow leaves of the rice, he stopped to look at it for a long time, and when he encountered insects, he drove them away carefully, there are no pesticides in this era, and it seems that there is only this thing he can do at the moment, "I hope to have a good harvest." He looked forward to it.
Wan Chaoyun followed behind him, and also squatted down to observe the rice, and found that many small white flowers bloomed from the rice husks, if you didn't pay attention, you would definitely not know that they were actually flowers.
"It turns out that the flowers of rice look like this." She whispered, what a long insight.
Chen Qian then walked forward, Wan Chaoyun followed closely, occasionally saw Chen Qian stretch out his hand to pull out the barnyard grass that looked like rice, but there were no rice ears, after seeing it a few times, Wan Chaoyun also knew the barnyard grass, so he tried to find it, and really found one for her.
Looking at the barnyard grass in his hand, Wan Chaoyun suddenly remembered four words - ungrateful.
"Your Excellency." She stopped Chen Qian.
Chen Qian turned his head, "Huh? ”
"Adults, people plant rice, take care of it, rice in return with rice, but sometimes when you plant rice, what you harvest is barnyard grass, and if you try your best to help others, are you not afraid of encountering barnyard grass?"
Chen Qian smiled when he heard this, "Miss Wan, please see, there is a large area of rice, but there is only a small amount of barnyard grass, which shows that there are still many good people, and besides, the barnyard grass can be pulled out, so why worry?" Besides, the official helps others and does not expect anything in return. ”
"It's the people's girls who are narrow-minded, and they know from the fact that adults don't show their real names, and if there are adults in Daxing, they will be prosperous and prosperous."
Chen Qian was very helpless, "Miss Wan, you don't have to speak so politely in front of this official, be casual, by the way, do you think it is feasible for Mrs. Liu?" ”
The latter sentence was a little inexplicable, and Wan Chaoyun was confused when he heard it, "Knowledgeable." ”
"She used to be a girl from a farming family, but later her parents died of illness, and she gave birth to a deaf and dumb son, who was abandoned by her husband's family, and her brother and sister-in-law didn't care about it.
Wan Chaoyun wanted to say something sincere and flattering, but was stopped by Chen Qian, "Don't say those flashy words in the future, this official is telling you this because I hope you can help their mother and son." ”
Wan Chaoyun was stunned, "My lord hopes that the people will let Mrs. Liu go to Wuweiju to work?" ”
"Exactly, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, the official can not always keep them, although they can afford to raise them, but after all, it is not appropriate, people in this world, after all, they must learn to be self-reliant." Chen Qian said compassionately, "If you are embarrassed, it is fine, this official has no reason to force things on your head." ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I can arrange for her so that she has the ability to support her son." Mrs. Liu is literate, and it is not difficult to arrange.
"If you are in trouble, tell the magistrate that you have provided many people with the opportunity to work and solved the livelihood problems of many families, and the magistrate will protect you." He said and laughed, what did he say to her?
Wan Chaoyun smiled happily, his heart was warm, "Thank you, rest assured, the people will not do anything illegal and undisciplined." ”
"Hahaha, you, human spirit, by the way, I heard that you are going to rectify the five flavors?" Chen Qian asked with interest.
Wan Chaoyun was stunned again, "Do you know this?" ”
Chen Qian didn't answer, but asked, "Tell me, how do you want to change?" ”
"Can the folk girl not say it? You'll know when the time comes. ”
"I said don't call yourself a people's daughter, this official is here, there are no such false courtesies."
"Okay, the folk girl knows."
“……”
When I returned to the city, it was already evening, the slanting sun hung on the west mountain, crumbling, and the carriage moved slowly.
In the carriage, Liu Mei said curiously: "Girl, the adults have said it, let you call him teacher, why don't you call him?" ”
Wan Chaoyun frowned deeply when he heard this, and fell into deep thought, "There must be a ceremony for apprenticeship, and if there is no ceremony, it is inappropriate to rashly call the teacher." ”
"By the way, arrange Mrs. Liu in the pastry shop, you go in person, and let Chen Yue arrange a job for her."
Liu Mei snorted twice, "If it weren't for Lord Chen's face, the slave wouldn't go." ”
"Mrs. Liu provoked you?" Wan Chaoyun smiled.
"That's not true, but the slave just doesn't like her, but her son is very cute, although he can't hear it, he doesn't have inferiority, and he looks very bright when he laughs."
Wan Chaoyun also noticed that Xu couldn't hear it, he didn't know how ugly it was in this world, and only living in his own world made him as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
After entering the city, Wan Chaoyun arrived first, and when Wan Chaoyun went to salute and say goodbye, Chen Qian did not get out of the carriage, but only lifted the curtain to dislike her for being polite, and left.
"Girl, Lord Chen is so elegant." Liu Mei couldn't help but say.
"Nature." Not only elegant, but also fluttering with the general idea of a fairy.
"I washed the peaches and sent some to the second uncle, and the rest were put in Wang'an Tower, these days, I only eat peaches." Wan Chaoyun commanded.
Night came as scheduled, just arrived at Changxi Temple, I smelled the braised pork made by missing two taels, went out for a day, my stomach immediately growled, and I was instantly so hungry that my chest was close to my back, as if I didn't eat, I would die on the spot.
Su Yin waited on her way to the dining room, "Boss, everything you want has been made, please take a look." ”
