The remaining four little teenagers couldn't interject, but Yunxiao and Zhou Lei were classmates, and Fu Junzhuo and Yunkai were also close neighbors, so the two of them began to mumble endlessly.

Only a few ladies at the other table were not to be outdone, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Fu were very good at talking, and the Lin family had a soft temperament, so they even laughed constantly.

The two Yunjin Yunxi sisters had to eat, they were bored to sit still, and they didn't want to listen to the women's topics, so they accepted the proposal of the Yuanyuan Qiulan sisters to weave a wreath. Qiulan is a good hand all over the garland, pick a few long chrysanthemum branches, twist on the left, wrap around the right, just like braids, after a while, a delicate and beautiful wreath will come out, the first one is naturally Yunxi's, Yunxi wears it on the head, smells the unique smell of wild chrysanthemums, refreshed, and happy.

After a while, several Xiaolangjun also joined in, and the chrysanthemums near the top of the mountain were all affected. They were all dragged off to make garlands, laughing and laughing, and the last group of people put on chrysanthemum garlands and laughed at each other.

Mr. Zhou was dazed, and when he heard the laughter, he saw a group of children wearing all kinds of garlands, all smiling like flowers, beaming with joy, and indescribably young and beautiful.

I couldn't help laughing, threw my wine glass, and walked out of the pavilion.

straightened his clothes, shook his head and groaned while pacing: "Wild chrysanthemums bloom all over the front slope of the courtyard, and there is no fragrance without glamorous demons." Don't be afraid to look at each other, but I really love Huang. ”

Ye Yuan saw Mr. Zhou's poetry, so he listened to the wine glass, pondered for a while, and said loudly: Mr. Yaxing, I am also one head, 'I don't go to the West Mountain to see the red leaves, I love the chrysanthemum yellow here.'" During the festive season, guests come to raise a glass and drink longevity wine. ’”

Fu Mingkun stood up and sighed: "You two are both elegant guests, only I am a cheesy businessman, ashamed and ashamed!" ”

Fu Junzhuo's father turned out to be in business? I can't see it at all, I look like a teacher in appearance, and I'm actually a businessman?

The three of them sat down and drank each other's drinks.

Mr. Zhou drank and said with a smile: "I'm happy today, I've drunk a lot, and I'll rest." ”

waved at Yunxi again: "Come on, the old man has something to say." ”

……

Yunxi was speechless, there is such a young and handsome old man?

However, he still walked forward obediently and asked with a smile: "The second lady is here, I don't know what the master has to teach?" ”

Mr. Zhou laughed, pointed at Yunxi and smiled at Ye Yuan: "Your girl is good, not bad." Turning his head, Fang said to Yunxi: "I got your stone today, and I am happy, so tell me what kind of thank you gift you want?" ”

It turns out that there are benefits, you have to think about it, you can't ask for money, there is no shortage of food and drink, Mr. Zhou is a master, and he doesn't look like a poor family, there should be a lot of books.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Today I asked my father to give me a piece of land, which I plan to use to grow flowers, I wonder if Mr. has a book on planting flowers?" If so, how many copies might you give me? ”

Mr. Zhou was surprised to get such an answer and asked in surprise: "You can already read and write?" ”

Yunxi suddenly remembered that he was still illiterate.

He smiled awkwardly: "I'm still illiterate, but my father said he was going to teach me, I'm so smart, I believe I'll be able to read soon." ”

Everyone burst into laughter, this little girl was so angry.

Mr. Zhou thought for a while before saying: "My family does have a few books on flower planting, my grandfather especially likes flowers and trees, collected from many sources, and only got a few books, but this is a small way, the literati habits, and more appreciation in the book, there are not many cultivation methods, when my grandfather was alive, he often discussed with flower farmers, and every time he had an experience, he recorded it." ”

After a pause, he said: "Today I got your strange stone, if I don't give it to you, it will seem that I am stingy, but this is my grandfather's favorite during his lifetime, I only lend you two years, you can refer to it in detail within two years, it is best to copy it down, and return it to me after two years, okay?" ”

Yunxi didn't expect to find a book on flower cultivation, and he didn't have to find any excuses for doing anything in the future, and he was too late to be happy, how could he dislike it? Lian Sheng promised to keep it well, and when it was copied, it would be returned to its original owner.

In this way, the guests and hosts were happy, and Mr. Zhou saw that Yunxi was interested, so he mainly proposed to give the peony seeds and moon seeds at home to Yunxi, and Yunxi thanked him again and again.

Mrs. Ye also had only two naughty sons at home, and when she saw such a pleasing little girl as Yunxi, she liked it very much, and promised to wait for the spring next year, and the orchids were divided into pots to give her a few plants, which was even more unexpected, and Yunxi was also happy to thank her.

Fu Mingkun also smiled: "Mr. Zhou sent a book, I will send some pen, ink, paper and inkstone for my niece to use, Brother Ye don't shirk, just thank me for your big stone, if you want me to pay for it, it's not okay." ”

Ye Yuan smiled: "That one wants your money, but I won't be polite to you, I need pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, so I don't have to go to the county to buy it." ”

After laughing like this for a while, Yunxi got a lot of things, and his heart was happy.

Mr. Zhou saw that it was not early, and reminded everyone to go down the mountain and return home, and when they went down to the mountain, they did not enter the door, and went straight to the county seat.

When the Ye family returned home, they didn't mention eating and resting, so they said that Ye Yuan called the housekeeper Ye Fu and asked him to quickly find some tenants, prepare tools, and prepare to carry stones in the mountains tomorrow. At this time, it was the time of the farm, and the tenants were all idle at home, and after a while, Ye Fu booked a number of people and came back to report. Ye Yuan slept with peace of mind, and went up the mountain just after dawn.

Besides, Yunxi was lying on the bed, her heart was bubbling, thinking that she would be able to do it soon, and she couldn't help but get excited, although she was already very tired after playing in the mountains for a day, she tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep anything. It's better to think about it and force yourself to sleep.

In the early morning of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, there is a slight chill, quite the cold of early winter.

However, Ye Yuan's heart is hot, there are not many opportunities to please Mr. Zhou, and there is a reason why Mr. Zhou is Mr. Zhou, not Master Zhou.

The reason is that the new official family has been on the throne for six years, and the palace examination has only been carried out four times, and among the Jinshi admitted to the four palace examinations, there are students of Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhou's eldest son Zhou Jing is only in his early twenties, and he is already a tanhua in the spring.

It is said that Mr. Zhou's eldest gentleman, Zhou Jing's article, is no worse than the list, but the emperor saw that Zhou Jing was young and romantic, so he deliberately pointed out that he was a flower explorer.

Therefore, Mr. Zhou's reputation rose to prominence, and the private school was overcrowded, and he was honored as Mr. Zhou.

Although the Ye family has hundreds of acres of land, it is not a big family in the vast and sparsely populated Daimyo's mansion. Although Ye Yuan himself also read some poetry books, he knew that he could not teach the talents of scholars. If Ye Yunxiao and Ye Yunkai's brothers can get Mr. Zhou's blue eyes, their future is promising.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath of clear air and set off with everyone.

There are a lot of people, at this time, the autumn harvest has just passed, the wheat seedlings are still small, it is the time of the slack, so not only the people invited by Ye Fu came, but also heard that there were many people who came by themselves, plus the people invited by Fu Mingkun, as well as women and children to join in the fun, bustling, like rushing to a big set. In this Hewan Village, the Ye family and the Fu family are both big households, the Ye family farms, the Fu family does business, and the rest are either tenant farmers or small households, and it is estimated that the whole village will be empty at this time.

Although the stone is large, it cannot stop the crowd.

Mr. Zhou's stone and the Ye family's stone are not very big, first find a small stone to enlarge the vicinity of the stone, a few men squatted down to surround the big stone, and shouted: "Get up!" Then the stones were lifted, and the men who were waiting were quick to stick the long logs under the big stones with small stones.

Then he first shouted at the onlookers to get out of the way, and then pressed down the other end of the log, and the big stone was pried over. Repeat this, and the big stone can be carried.

The stone chosen by the Fu family is much more troublesome, so they have to dig a pit under the stone first, and then put a crowbar after digging, it is naturally not possible to put one, and put eight thick wooden sticks on the seven or eight meter-long stones, shouting together to overturn the stones.

I don't want to have big stones, but there are big benefits, the small stones on the road can't stop it, and the down the mountain is faster than the two small stones of Ye Jiayun, but when you get to the bottom of the mountain, you won't slow down, because it's too big.

When Yunxi woke up, the stones of the Ye family had been transported to the door, and the stones that Mr. Zhou wanted were also carried to the county seat on a simple cart pulled by two oxen on the mountain.

However, there was still a lot of noise in front of the Ye family, and it was very lively, because Fu Mingkun's plan to transport stones by boat was vetoed by himself, because the depth of the river in this Hewan Village is far from being compared with the canal, and it may not be shallow in ordinary times, but it is not easy to enlarge the boat, and there is little rain in the late autumn in the north, and the river is much shallower. But if you wade directly across the river, it's a little deep, and piles of people are gossiping about ideas to watch the excitement.

In the end, a plan was made, first digging a waterway to the back garden of the Fu family, draining the water, and then filling the old river channel, and then transporting stones, and then digging the river after the stones were transported.

In this way, it took more than half a month to move the stone to the gate of the Fu family, which can be described as hard work, but the Fu family has money and does not think it is allowed.

After moving, I asked the stonemason to carve out the two big characters of 'Fujiazhuang' in the center of the stone, which was really magnificent.

Ye Yuan was very moved, and also found someone to go up the mountain to find a big stone, placed it on the side of the road at the gate, and carved the three big characters of 'Yejiazhuang'.

Yunxi couldn't laugh in his heart, in fact, whether it was the Ye family or the Fu family, the population of the family was not so much, and writing a certain village was nothing more than a certain house.
