Lan Yi naturally hoped that Dao Wufeng could easily pass this level, and seeing Zhou Weiji's calm face, Lan Yi chuckled: "Brother Tuesday, this is a good thing. By the way, the court rewarded it, does it have a share of the second brother? ”

Looking at her curious and bright eyes, Zhou Weiji smiled: "Yes." ”

Lan Yi's eyes widened, waiting for Zhou Weiji to speak. Her appearance made Zhou Weiji very satisfied, "My rank officer has been promoted from the second lieutenant of the ninth rank to the second lieutenant of the ninth rank of benevolence, fifteen taels of moon, and five hundred taels of silver." ”

The rank of the Great Zhou rank officials ranged from the first rank to the ninth rank, the civil officials were divided into twenty-nine ranks, and the military attachés were divided into thirty-one ranks. A rank simply indicates the rank of an official and is not associated with a specific position. Officials of each rank will also have corresponding positions and salaries. This is very complicated to say, but it is not difficult to understand, just like when she was in H University, the school teachers were divided into four professional titles: professor, associate professor, lecturer and teaching assistant, and the basic salary of the teacher was different every month according to the title of the teacher, which was like the rank of the big week. In addition, the teachers undertake the task of teaching, that is, to give lectures to the students, and there will also be a class fee, just like the ministry officials of the Great Zhou.

Zhou Weiji was originally an adjutant lieutenant from the ninth grade, but he was a thirty-first rank officer among the military attachés, and he was promoted two levels in a row from the ninth rank to the ninth grade, and the Yuelu silver rose from ten taels to fifteen taels, which is indeed a gratifying and congratulatory thing.

"Congratulations, Brother Tuesday." Lan Yi smiled with crooked eyes, looking like a cat with a fish, very satisfied.

Zhou Weiji couldn't help but touch her sharp little chin, and took out a silver ticket of two hundred taels of silver from his arms. "You keep these, buy some New Year's goods, and add a few good clothes for yourself and your children."

Lan Yi didn't refuse. Happily took it. Zhou Weiji saw that she had accepted it, and his smile became more and more relaxed.

When he was in Meixian, Lan Yi was afraid that Zhou Weiji's silver money would not be enough, so he gave him two hundred taels of silver. Zhou Weiji was naturally extremely happy.

"I left twenty taels for my eldest brother, and my sister also sent twenty taels there, and the rest was given to Brother Zhao. Brother Zhao and Brother Chang also took out most of the silver they were rewarded with, which was used to supplement the families of the dead and wounded soldiers, and the subsidies issued to them by the imperial court were really not enough. ”

He was explaining why he didn't take back all the bounty and give it to himself, Lan Yi smiled warmly: "Brother Tuesday did the right thing. Is it okay over there? ”

Zhou Wei replied very lightly. Should have gone. But he just couldn't bear such peace.

Lan Yi bit her lip, listened to the lack of movement outside, and said softly: "Second brother, my sister's house is not far from Li Er's lame house, you should have seen him, right?" Today, my second uncle and I went to the city and met Yu'er's second uncle Li Er's lame, who recognized me and stared at the ox cart to follow. Lin Yuan called someone to intercept him. ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, Li Er was lame and he naturally knew. That is the famous splash in Lijia Village, "I've seen it, I also recognize his brother Li Fugui, he is an honest man." ”

Zhou Yue'e got married, Zhou Weiji went to see off his relatives, Li Fugui was helping at his brother-in-law's house at that time, he was a silent and diligent young man, and later heard that he married a good daughter-in-law like a fairy, but unfortunately the daughter-in-law died within two years of good life, and the people in Lijia Village said that he did not cultivate enough blessings.

It seems that Yu'er's appearance follows her mother's, Lan Yi said worriedly: "People like Li Erlame are the most headaches. He was afraid that he would find out that Yu'er would come over from time to time to disgusting people, second brother, what should I do? ”

Zhou Weiji took Lan Yi's hand and tightened it, "Just leave it to me, you can prepare for the New Year in peace." ”

Zhou Weiji is the leader of the fast catching team, there must be a good way to deal with such a scoundrel, Lan Yi nodded obediently, "Thank you, second brother." ”

This was the first time she thought of him when she was in trouble and took the initiative to ask for his help, Zhou Weiji was very happy and left with a smile.

Lan Yi went to see the two children in the greenhouse, the two little ones had already finished freshening up, and they were sitting on the mats by the kang to play, the warm firelight, the moist breath, and the golden vegetables made people feel extremely relieved.

"Mother, it's time to see the little monkey drink water." Yu'er saw Lan Yi coming in and hurriedly recruited her.

Jia Shi smiled helplessly, "The two of them just don't want to go back, they must see the little monkey here." ”

These two little guys' love for the little monkey is more than Xiaobai Xiaohuo, and they take pleasure in observing the little monkey at home every day, always chanting that the little monkey did this, and the little monkey did that.

The firelight also gave the little gray monkey a layer of gold, and the scars on its face looked much better. There was a water scoop in front of the little monkey, there was half a scoop of water in it, the little monkey licked and drank it with its paws, and did not dare to stick its head down, and the two misty round eyes looked at Lan Yi and the four of them, never leaving.

This is a table of worry, Lan Yi remembered that this little monkey saw Lei Tianze and Zhou Weiji's table, and couldn't help laughing, sitting next to the two children.

Wen Xuan leaned on his mother and said with a smile, "Mother, name the little monkey." ”

"Our family is just a little monkey, so we don't need a name." Lan Yi used her fingers to comb his hair.

The little monkey was also greedy for the temperature of the ondol, and after drinking the water, he leaned towards the kang to the west.

Yu'er looked at the little monkey and bit her fingers very seriously to think.

In view of the series of names he has called, such as Daba, Erbaa, and Sanbaa, Lan Yi does not have much hope for Yu'er's ability to name names.

"Yu'er thinks it's good to call it a little monkey."

Little Monkey, Little Monkey...... There is one less word "son", and it really has a very Yuer-characteristic way of naming, Lan Yi smiled.

Wen Xuan disagreed this time, "The baby thinks it's nice to call Scar." ”

Wen Xuan is very persistent about his name, although he no longer holds his little face with both hands when others call him Wen Xuan, "This is a baby, not Wen Xuan", but he still likes to call himself a baby.

The scar is not as good as the little monkey, but fortunately, it catches an obvious feature of the little monkey, and it is domineering enough.

"Mother, do you say it's better to call it a little monkey or a scar?" Yu'er asked seriously.

Lan Yi and Jia Shi looked at each other and smiled, "It's all good." The two of you have discussed it and chosen one. ”

The two little ones listened, and they met their heads and discussed seriously together. The little monkey was not interested in this question, and its eyes were fixed on the big red fruit in front of it.

Big red fruit. That is, the tomatoes have already hung fruit, and the earlier ones are as big as Yu'er's fists, and Lan Yi will check them when he is free, and he estimates that he will be able to eat them in half a month.

"Mother, we've discussed, it's called Scar Monkey!" The two little ones said in unison.

Jia Shi and Lan Yi laughed, Scar Monkey. It's up to them to figure it out.

"Yes, Scar Monkey, cucumber you can eat. You can't pick the big red fruit, let's eat it when it turns red and ripe. Lan Yi held back a smile and seriously educated the scar monkey.

Yu'er remembered the taste of scrambled eggs with big red fruits she had eaten, and her mouth was sour. "Mother. Big red fruit is almost ripe? Yu'er wants to eat scrambled eggs with big red fruits. ”

Wen Xuan also nodded.

Jia Shi hadn't eaten it, but after hearing Lan Yi describe the benefits of the big red fruit many times, he was also looking forward to it.

"Come on, I'll be able to eat two more episodes." Lan Yi nodded confidently, although the big red fruit does not have many fruits, it at least bears fruits, which means that it can be planted here. Since the fruit can be hung in the greenhouse, it will be no problem to plant it outside in the spring next year. Wait until the fruit is ripe. She's going to take it and give it to everyone to taste, so that they can all grow some extra dishes. It can also be sold for money, and the big red fruit is a rare thing here, and it will definitely be sold for a good price.

I don't know how the big red fruit grows in Xiaoqi's greenhouse, Lan Yi hasn't been there for half a month, and it's only better than her own side.

"After two episodes, it's almost over." Jia Shi calculated that after entering the wax moon, he would really reach the end of the year.

Lan Yi nodded, picked up Yu'er, and Jia picked up Wenxuan, wrapped up his clothes and went back to the house. The cold air outside the greenhouse was blowing in his face, making people not want to breathe, Lan Yi walked into the house quickly, "Second uncle said that it was going to snow, and just Tuesday brother also said that it was going to snow, just for ten days and a half months." ”

Jia Shi put Wen Xuan on the kang and arranged the bedding for them, "Hurry up, it's really worrying to hang like this." ”

"Aunt Yao, the pain in her legs and feet is unbearable when the sky changes, but is there any way to cure it?" Su Yongshen's situation, Lan Yi sounded like rheumatic symptoms, but she didn't study medicine, so she didn't care about making judgments.

Jia Shi is not sure, "The disease of muscles, bones and joints has many causes, and it is necessary to carefully diagnose and treat before prescribing medicine to eliminate stasis and swelling, activate the meridians, search for wind and dispel cold, and this is not something that can be cured by one or two medicines." When the old lady was alive, there was this disease, the leg was like a knife, the pain was like a cone thorn, the day was light and the night was heavy, and he couldn't sleep peacefully. ”

Lan Yi nodded, "It's Brother Tuesday's brother-in-law, it's not good lately, it's hard to get out of bed, and Brother Tuesday is worried." ”

Jia Shi heard Lan Yi talk about Su Yongshen, a weak scholar, who put pen to paper to protect his family and defend the country, and fell ill after several lives and deaths, but he sighed, "When Su Fuzi moves to the village next year, we can also take care of him nearby, although I don't know if it can get better, but it will never get worse again." ”

Su Yongshen used to be a teacher, and it was appropriate for Jia to call him so.

I don't know how everyone speculates that the sky wants snow, and when they get together, they all talk that it will snow tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and adults and children look up and wait every day. There are even pious women like the second aunt Li who go to the temple to burn incense and pray for snow.

In such an atmosphere, I entered the wax moon. Lan Yi didn't expect the snowfall, but waited for the three baa to give birth. Lan Yi heard the cry of Sanba in the middle of the night, got dressed and carried a lantern to see, the two newborn lambs had not yet taken off their clothes, trembling, Sanba was busy licking them clean, and saw Lan Yi coming over and bleating.

Lan Yi hurriedly lit a fire in the sheepfold, wiped the lamb with rags, and Jia Shi also got up to boil hot water, sprinkled wheat bran and sugar for Sanba to drink the supplement, and the two black-eared lambs were not small, standing tremblingly beside Sanba thinking about feeding.

Jia Shi saw the newborn lamb for the first time, and was excited, "Peach, this little thing is really born to walk, looking at the three baba belly is not big, I didn't expect the two little lambs to be not small." ”

Lan Yi was also very happy, they finally had fresh goat milk to drink, "Aunt Yao, the third baa is not very powerful, and the second baa can give birth to three little lambs every time." ”

Erba is Lan Yi crossed over, bought in Qingshan Town, Meixian County, thousands of miles from Meixian County back to Beigou Village, Lan Yi has always had a good impression of it, Erba is very competitive, twice a year to give birth, each time is three lambs. It is also considered an exotic breed, and every time a lamb is born, the people in the village rush to order it.

"Oh, this little thing is so rare, I'm going to pull some grass for them in the greenhouse."

Lan Yi stopped her with a smile, "Aunt Yao, the little lamb has to eat milk, and it will take half a month before it can eat grass." ”

Jia rubbed his hands in embarrassment, smiling shyly in the jumping firelight, "I don't know this. ”

It's very rare for her to look like this, "Tao'er didn't understand it before, but I understood it after seeing it once." Wait for the hens to hold the nest next spring, let's hatch a few more chicks and ducklings, Aunt Yao must have never seen it, the chicks and ducklings out of the shell are even more magical, they can eat soft millet when they come out of the shell, and run very fast. ”

Jia Shi nodded vigorously and rubbed his hands that were numb from the cold, "In another half a month, it will be spring, and it is really cold this day." Peach, go into the house and sleep, I'll keep it. ”

Seeing that Sanba drank warm water and ate some forage, Lan Yi neatly added a few pieces of hardwood to the fire and stopped it with a branch, "Don't look at it, let's all go back to the house, Sanba will take care of the little lamb." ”

The north wind is stronger, and the wind is heavy with moisture. In the second half of the night, the goose-feather-like snow fell, and it fell until dawn, and when I got up in the morning, I was able to lose Lan Yi's ankles, and the snow covered thousands of miles, and the air was filled with the unique smell of snow, so a heavy snow was enough to moisten the thirsty earth, kill many germs, and the cold virus that lasted for a winter should also retreat, Ruixue, Ruixue.

Lan Yi happily put on gloves and a hat to sweep the snow, the sound of brushing is like the most beautiful music in the world, a round of red sun rises from the East Mountain, the snow adds warmth, the mountains and silver snakes dance, it seems that it is so sexy, bewitching, and charming from afar.

The adults in the village have all gotten up to clear the snow, and laughter is heard from time to time outside the door, Lan Yi swept out a path, and quickly cleaned up the snow on the greenhouse fence, so as not to crush the bamboo frame, the snow is still falling densely, and the path swept out by Lan Yi is covered in a moment.

Stepping on the snow to see the newborn lamb, the two little ones curled up and sleeping next to Sanba, the color of the whole body is the same as the snow, and the two little black ears are even more cute.

"These two little guys are here with good fortune, so it's better to call them Daxue Xiaoxue." Jia Shi also contracted the habit of naming names, and built a smile on his face.

After the two little ones got up, they looked at the snow and laughed even more, Jia opened the door of the hall, and the family sat around the fire to eat breakfast, and Zhou Wei came from the wind and snow with a smile.

Lan Yi suddenly became full of poetry, and wrote with full ink:

There is a snowstorm outside the door, and the window is open to the stove. The porridge is cooked and warm, and the smile greets Zhou Lang. (To be continued......)
