Just because Chang Gongzi suddenly asked such a question, several people were stunned.

Ah Sheng listened to his question, and secretly said that his master was smart, originally he thought that after entering the customs, he would send someone to move a few mint grasses back to the mountain village to come back for emergency, but he didn't take into account the possibility that the place could not find the "wild flowers and weeds", it was better to ask for seeds, even if he couldn't find it, he could wait for a while to plant it, it was better than nothing.

So he followed Chang Gongzi's words and asked Yiyu again: "Little sister, do you have this mint seed?" ”

Yi Yu didn't know what the two of them were thinking, but she wouldn't ask them directly what they wanted this mint to do, and replied, "Yes." ”

Ah Sheng asked again, "Can you sell me some?" ”

Hearing him say this, Lu Shi on the side turned pale and interjected: "If Engong needs it, just take it, what to buy it, but it makes us ashamed," and then she turned her head to Yiyu and said, "You take the mint seeds out and give them all to Engong." ”

Although Yi Yu was curious about the use of these two people planting mint, he would not be stingy with this little thing, so he nodded and replied: "Put it in the package, and I will take it to Engong on our way." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Ah Sheng's face to expand with joy, and kindly added, "It's just that this mint is not very easy to raise, and I also pondered for a long time to find some doorways, if it is planted with seeds, it is inevitable that it will not be easy to survive, or it is better to plant by roots, if you really have the heart to feed this thing, I will carefully tell you the precautions." ”

Although her words were mixed with water, but there was also some truth, she used her own blood to feed the mint grass, and she didn't have to take much care of its ecological habits, but after all, she had been raising it for three years, and some skills and discoveries were still there.

Ah Sheng saw that she answered the words eloquently and clearly, and only after admiring in his heart did he nod his head in response, so Yu Yu told him the seed planting method carefully, and explained the key points of the root planting, but the more Ah Sheng listened, the more bitter his face became, this thing is really not easy to feed, it grows by the river and has strong vitality, but it is delicate when raised in the house.

Yi Yu saw his expression and knew that the other party had already heard it, and after sighing secretly, he said, "It's better to wait until we settle down in the place, and I will give it to you after planting." ”

Ah Sheng glanced at Chang Gongzi, and after getting his acquiescence, he smiled at Yiyu and nodded, and said to the Lu family: "Then thank you." Madam, I don't know where you plan to settle down, there are many towns and villages near Chang'an, but which one did you choose? ”

Lu said: "My husband's family was originally a person from Guannei, and I only moved to Shuzhong nine years ago, only a small town called Jianxing near Chang'an still has some impressions, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”

Ah Sheng knew that the Lu family was a widow, but the first time he heard her say that her in-law's family was in the Guannei, although he was curious, it was inconvenient to ask more, and he carefully searched for this small town called Jianxing in his mind, and after a while, he said to the Lu family with some doubts: "Madam, I know a little about the towns near Chang'an City, whether they are big or poor, and what you said should be a small town half a day's walk from the south of Chang'an City, but that place is not a good place to go now?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the town is indeed south, what? Is there anything you can't go there? Lu Shi asked with a hint of nervousness on her face, she thought of going to this small town called Jianxing from the day she planned to escape, she also went to some places when she lived in Guannei, but the ones closest to Chang'an were all rich counties, and the impression was only that Jianxing town was simpler.

"I remember that Jianxing Town has become rich in the past two years, but now there is a bully in the town, who often does something to disturb the neighbors, if you move there, I am afraid you will also suffer from it."

When the three of the Lu family heard him talk about the word "bully", they couldn't help but think of Zheng Li's chaotic appearance, and the back of his neck was cold, so the Lu family dismissed his plan to settle in the place, and felt that Ah Sheng was a governor, and just wanted to ask him, he heard Ah Sheng take the initiative to speak.

"I also know that Madame is looking for her son in addition to settling down on this trip, why don't you consider finding a place to settle down near Chang'an?"

Lu Shi was not afraid of being clumsy, and replied calmly: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of Engong and strong men, I don't have much left in my body, I originally wanted to find a small township a little farther away, spend some money to buy a few acres of land, so that I can do the household registration, but now I have five people in my family, not counting my son of the scientific expedition, it will cost four dollars, if I go to those rich places, I am afraid I can't even get a household registration." ”

The household registration is equivalent to the personal file and identity certificate of this dynasty, and it is the standard reference for the imperial court census population flow and population statistics, and the biggest loophole is that you can change your name and surname by spending more money to buy idle land, and the imperial court's policy towards farmers is still very lenient, of course, if the people of industry and commerce want to farm, it is not so easy, Lu Shi changed her household registration when she took her two sons to the mountain village nine years ago with her widowed jade, but at that time, the real ingredients she brought to the mountain village had been changed with money, and this matter was not mentioned for the time being. Just say that if they want to settle near Chang'an now, they must find a place where the land is cheap.

Ah Sheng was not surprised, if the Lu family had too much net worth, it would make him suspicious, and he saw that his master had stopped playing with the teacup and began to rub the action of rubbing the sapphire ring on his thumb, and he was clear.

"Madam, if it's just because of the household registration problem, but it's easy to do, you don't have to make a special trip to that poor and remote place. There is a Longquan town fifty miles southeast of Chang'an City, the folk customs in the town are simple, most of them are farming families, and there are also some scholars who have returned to the field to retire in the town, and the surrounding fields are also superior, my son-in-law also has some ways, help you three or five people to handle the household registration, demarcate ten acres of idle land, and find a Zhuangzi to live temporarily for three or five months, it doesn't take much effort, let alone spend money, how does Mrs. think? ”

Lu Shi hesitated suddenly, she also knew that this matter of settling down and dividing the field was just a trivial matter for some people, and if it should be done, it would definitely save a lot of trouble, but she already owed a lot of money to others, and if she really troubled the other party, it was inevitable that she would be a little unreasonable.

Ah Sheng knew how to observe words and feelings, and seeing her demeanor, he hurriedly said: "Madam, my little sister still wants to help me plant mint, this settlement is really not a big deal, in the eyes of my master, I am afraid that there are not a few mint grasses important, you should respond, let's pack up and continue to hurry." ”

Lu Shi is a simple person, and after figuring out the details, he should respond, as the saying goes, he is not afraid to repay the debt.

The three of them sincerely thanked Ah Sheng and Chang Gongzi again, the steamed rice porridge and side dishes had been delivered one by one, and several people packed two more steamed buns after breakfast, packed their luggage and continued to hurry.

***

On the afternoon of the second day, a group of people had arrived at the Longquan Town that Ah Sheng said, the carriage drove slowly into the town, Yiyu sat in the car and curiously lifted the curtains, but saw that the road side was full of neat specifications of private buildings, single-slope roofs, brown bricks and red tiles, and then went forward for more than dozens of zhang, suddenly saw the Gaomen compound came into view, compared to the previous seen houses seem to be giants like a giant abruptly standing, red bricks and green tiles, and there are red lacquer columns, and go to dozens of zhang away to see a Huamen mansion again, red lacquer door face, and there are four golden diamond-shaped door hairpins on the left and right, Engraved with intricate patterns, Yi Yu was secretly surprised, and felt that Lu Shi was holding her arm tightly.

Ah Sheng parked the carriage in front of the second house on the north side of the street, and through the window of the carriage, Yu Yu saw him jumping out of the carriage and walking a few steps to the door of the mansion in front of him, reaching out and grabbing the golden knocker on the red lacquer door, and buttoning it a few times.

After a while, someone came to answer the door, and the two-person high door was opened from the inside, and a thin young man wearing a navy blue four-fold discounted hat, wearing a short shirt of the same color, and black cloth shoes, came out of the door, and a sentence of "Who" just asked, and when he saw Ah Sheng's face clearly, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes were round in surprise.

"Brother Li! What are you doing here! "This little guy is only fourteen or five years old, although his skin is slightly dark, but his facial features are neat and tidy when you look closely, and he looks clever.

Ah Sheng stretched out his hand and patted him on the head, and laughed: "Childe is back, open the door wide, go in and tell Steward Li!" ”

The black-faced little guy stretched out his head to look at the carriage parked at the gate, and was facing a pair of bright eyes that looked at the past of the Yu Yu, stunned, then turned around and pushed the two red lacquer gates left and right, and ran all the way in.

Ah Sheng walked back to the front of the car, opened the curtain, stretched out his hand to help Chang Gongzi get out of the car, and then the three of the Lu family came down in turn, and after a few people stood in front of the door for a while, there was a faint commotion in the gate, and in the blink of an eye, I saw five or six people dressed like the previous little guy running out, and hurriedly stood five steps away from Chang Gongzi, who was standing upright with his back, and bowed neatly and shouted "Childe", and after Chang Gongzi nodded slightly, they were busy again.

There were those who got into the carriage to get their luggage, those who came to Ah Sheng to ask, those who led the carriage around the back door, and those who led Chang Gongzi and Lu's mother and daughter to the door, so they were not busy.
