Chapter 25 The Manor is in Sight
The scenery on the left side of the river is beautiful, just like a woman.
It has been raining a lot lately, and it has been dripping all the way. Take Danyang Qu'a, pass through the tomb and enter Wu County. Because there are many and miscellaneous homeless people, Li Xunshen is afraid that in case, he will walk on the main road, and he will not dare to take a shortcut on the small road.
The inn is close to Taiqiu, and it is a place specially chosen by Liu Nong to stop. At this time, it is too broad and not as broad as the sparkling waves of later generations, but it is clear and victorious. But seeing that the lake was alive, the autumn rain lit the scales, as if blooming with water lotus; The rain was slanted again, and the lake was full of Xiao Xiao.
On both sides of the lake, there are farms, with white walls and black tiles, and bamboo forests are planted in front of the door, forming a fence. In this rain, although I don't hear the sound of chickens and dogs, there is another charm. I could hear from afar that a child was reciting aloud in the village: "The triumphant wind comes from the south, blowing his thorny heart; The heart is thorny, and the mother is laborious; The triumphant wind blows from the south; Mother's holy goodness, I have no ...... of this person"
Liu Nong stood under an old willow by the lake, listening to the sound of reading in the rain, and couldn't help whispering: "Love has a cold spring, under the dredging; There were seven sons, and the mother worked hard; Look at the yellow bird, carry its sound; There are seven children, don't comfort the mother's heart......"
Recently, he has been studying the Analects and the simpler scriptures of poetry, reading as he goes. You don't need to work hard, the foundation of ancient literature is weak, and many of them are hard to grind. pondering, I have to find a famous teacher in the future.
Taiqi Town is the meeting place that Liu Nong and Liu Zhi made an appointment. When they arrived here, Liu Zhi had not stopped, and Laifu and Li Qi went to Huating to look for him. Liu Nong has been here for three days, and he is not sure that Laifu can find Liu Zhi. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and that's 100,000 yuan.
"Xiao Langjun, it's raining heavily, let's go back!" Broken Lake stood at her side, holding a tung oil umbrella, she only cared about Liu Nong, and the oblique rain dipped the corners of the skirt.
Liu Nong smiled: "Wait a while, Laifu may come back in a while!" Seeing that the corners of her skirt were all wet, she said, "You give me the umbrella, go to the house and change your skirt, be careful of catching a cold." ”
"Don't get in the way, inside, inside is wearing a partition, I'll still accompany Xiao Langjun!" Broken Lake's face was slightly red, but his eyes were brighter, and he dared to get closer.
Under the big tung oil umbrella, the eyes are inadvertently aligned.
Broken Lake flapped his eyelashes twice, turned his eyes slightly, and saw seven or eight strong men wearing hats and robes on the trail. She was a little scared, it was too late to avoid it, bit her lip, and pulled Liu Nong behind her to hide. In recent days, their group went down to Huating, although there was no major incident on the road, but there were also a few times, Laifu and Daddy almost started with the stubborn people among the homeless.
As she got closer, her hand holding Xiao Langjun became tighter and tighter.
Liu Nong was also a little worried, the broken lake was good-looking, I was afraid that it was really the homeless people who were interested in it. How could she let a little girl protect her, holding her hand, cold and soft. I didn't have the heart to reminisce, so I took a step forward and turned to the front of her, thinking: I'm a man, I'm a scholar, I should be able to hold it!
Just as he was about to roar, the seven or eight sturdy men suddenly picked up their speed and rushed towards here.
"Hurry ......"
Liu Nong was shocked, only shouted one word, dragged up the broken lake, turned around and wanted to run.
"Xiao Langjun!"
A tall figure slanted to stop him, and the man stretched out his hand from his coat to hug him, but suddenly found that he was wet and dewy, and he was stunned in the middle of the way, and began to giggle.
"Rifle!"
Liu Nong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he grabbed the pair of arms tightly, almost jumping up. Turn surprise into joy, you don't have to run now, it turns out to be a blessing.
"Xiao Langjun!"
Another voice came from behind him, Liu Nong slowly turned around, and Liu Zhi and Li Xuan were standing behind them laughing. Liu Zhi's face was dripping with rain, he touched his face, and when his eyes met, he saw surprise and relief in the eyes of Xiao Langjun. There seems to be a fire burning in his chest, and he who pushes the mountain of gold and pours down the jade pillar will kneel to the ground.
"No!"
Liu Nong hurriedly stepped forward, helped him, and didn't let him kneel.
"Xiao Langjun......" Liu Ji blinked, shook his head without a trace, took three steps back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed. As soon as he knelt, the five sturdy men behind him knelt on the ground with Flutter Lala.
"I've seen it, Xiao Langjun!"
The sturdy men knelt upright, paused, and Liu Nong helped them up one by one, the more they helped, the more frightened they became, they were all young men who were about fifteen or sixteen years old. This is not very much, in their eyes, there is a vague smell that cannot be spoken. Sweeping it over, one by one lowered his eyes, seemingly docile, but it made him feel a palpitation.
Li urged: "Xiao Langjun, let's go back to the inn first, so as not to worry about the hostess!" ”
"Hmm!"
Liu Nong nodded solemnly, his eyes swept over Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi smiled, his eyes were calm.
Qihu Inn, backyard.
In the whole courtyard, only Liu Nong's family lived. When Liu heard that Laifu and Li Zhu had returned, Liu Zhi also found it, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and roughly listened to Liu Zhi's report on some Zhuangzi's affairs, so he instructed Qiao Si to take money and rewarded Liu Zhi with 300 yuan. Liu Ji took it with a smile, although it is not much, but this is also the heart of the main mother. And Liu, it was the first time for her to give people money, and she had a feeling of turning over to be the master, and she was very happy in her heart, regardless of whether anyone was present, she hugged Liu Nong again, grinding his face and shouting: "My son, it is a gift from God!" ”
"Mother, mother......" Liu Nong twisted around, his mother hugged him too tightly, his nose was blocked, and he was almost out of breath.
"Puff ......" the two maids laughed.
Liu Shi was stunned at this time, his face was slightly red, and he couldn't hold it anymore, knowing that his son still had something to talk about, so he got up and prepared to leave. After thinking about it, she felt a lot more obediently, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and followed her to her room.
When the general walked to the door, Liu seemed to think about it, turned around, and asked Liu Zhi: "In Huating, have you met Yang Xiaoniang?" ”
Liu Nong raised his eyebrows; The smile on Liu Zhi's face froze, and he stopped talking.
Liu Shi rolled her eyes and waited for an answer, she had always remembered Yang Xiaoniang, although her son didn't seem to like it, but how could she be ungrateful. Moreover, Little Lady Yang is really beautiful, good people, and good learning. I inquired about it, and said that I was only fourteen years old.
In the middle of the sound, Liu Zhi took a deep breath and said suddenly: "Back to the master, Liu Ji has seen Yang Xiaoniang, and she is still ......" He couldn't continue, Liu Nong glanced at him.
Liu caught his son's strange appearance, sighed, and was helped by ingenuity.
After she left, Liu Zhi pressed his knee and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Langjun, according to Xiao Langjun's words, I came to collect some homeless people along the way. All you see today are the hunters of the Northland......"
Well, no wonder the eyes are like blades!
"Zhuangzi...... Shade ...... Grant ...... The ...... of the trilogy "Liu Zhi has been with Wang Dao for a long time, and he knows more about the affairs of the scholar clan than Liu Nong, and he narrates it eloquently, including things he has done, and things he has not suggested for anything, and every sentence is from the bottom of his heart.
Later, Liu Nong nodded and said, "You have done a good job, and tomorrow morning, you will set off for Huating." After a few days, he went to lie down again, handed over the text of the music disc division, received the land, and hired some tenants. Take your time. ”
Liu Zhi said: "Xiao Langjun, there is one more thing, Liu Zhi wants to report it......"
……
Early the next morning, three ox carts, escorted by the strong men, left Taiqi and drove towards Huating. The rain that had been falling for three or four days finally stopped, and the rainbow after the rain hung in the east.
Huating is also in the east, and the ox cart chases the rainbow.
"Moo......"
At the beginning of the day after the rain, even the chirping of the green ox seemed to be cheerful.
Huating is the Songjiang of later generations, passing through the Lu family's courtyard, only to see Zhuangzi connected to Zhuangzi, cage afraid that there are not thousands of hectares of fertile land, and this, or Jiangdong Lu only for leisure Zhuangzi. Passing by the car, I can't argue the true appearance inside, but I can also see the fireworks rising up, the farmers coming and going in the fields, and the kite harriers flying in the sky. It's a self-sufficient country, and even if the fight is raging on the outside, it's still waiting on the inside.
The road is gradually drying up, the vision is extremely wide, Liu Nong's heart is comfortable, and he abandons the car and walks. Stepping on clogs, waving wind sleeves, and fluttering in the robe. attracted passers-by, stopped and watched, and said: "How is it so good-looking!" ”
"Wow, Wow......"
Looking at it, the Qianmo with a flat and four exhibitions, the green and green spread to the sky. A flock of white cranes fluttered out of the deep grass and slowly spread out to the sky. The sound of the crane, for a short time, seems to be a clear and more chirping kite; For a long time, it looks like a bagpipe. It's really a bit like Uncle Ji's four alleys at night: long clear, short clear; Long side, short side. It's weird, when Lu Shiheng was dying, he didn't mourn anything else, only lamented: I don't hear Huating cranes anymore.
"Laifu, take Xun!"
Liu Nong stood on a high place, looking at the blue sea under him, and was moved by emotion, and his life came to Fulaixun. In later generations, he also loved Xun very much, and he was quite good at this instrument. With the crane in the sky, facing the breeze, holding the Xun to play. Xun has six holes, each sound is different, the holes are melancholy, and the wisps arouse people's sorrow.
The music is long, the sound is fluttering with the wind, and the love is not good. For a long time, for a long time, he sang loudly: "I don't see the ancients before, I don't see the people who come after, I read the world and the world, and I cry alone." ”
After reading it, he looked at the head below: "Lu Shiheng, Liu Nong has been here!" ”
The ox cart is back up.
Broken Lake Jing lit up with a pair of eyes and praised: "Xiao Langjun played it so well, but that song seems to be a little strange." Speaking of which, she added: "Very good." ”
"Hmmm......"
Liu Nong blushed, the book given by Uncle Wei Shi had Uncle Ji's Guanglingsan, and he hadn't had time to study it yet. So, just now he was blowing the "Scarborough Market" of later generations.
At this time, Laifu said on the wheel: "Xiao Langjun, someone is chasing us, do you want to stop?" ”
Lifting the curtain, out of the huge village, out of a crownless ox cart, with a few small black dots sitting on the cart, is rushing here.
Liu Nong smiled, most of these are the children of the Lu family who came to visit Zhuangzi, the excitement is exhausted, it is okay not to see it, and said: "Let's go, we still have to hurry, get it before dark!" ”
"Howler!"
Blessing raised the whip, and the ox cart went fast.
Those sturdy men, walking slightly hunched over, their feet are extremely heavy, but they are as light as wild leopards in the mountains. Liu Nong saw it and said secretly: Orion in the Northland? Wang Dao Jianqiao County: Xu and Gon two prefectures, mainly displaced people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou in the north. In these two states, there are often generals who can fight well, and the Beifu Army, known as the top ten elites in ancient times, was formed from this. Well, the world is not peaceful, and next year Wu Xing and Zhou's family will be in chaos, Wu Xing is quite close to here, and it is good to build the trilogy early.
All the way to the east, gradually becoming desolate. In the field of vision, there are no fields, only weeds growing. From time to time, there are waterfowl rising in the autumn pool. After a while, a flock of gulls flew from the east, long rowing overhead, bringing the smell of seawater. It's almost time to Jinshan, at this time, there is no place name Jinshan, which still belongs to Huating.
The mountain rises, in the distance, and the earth packs the mountain.
Liu Ji hurried to the side of the car and said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, it's almost there!" ”
The side curtains of the two cars were all opened, and they all looked at the place where they were about to take root, Liu Shi frowned, and said in a low voice: "Liu Zhi has always been shrewd, why did he choose such a remote place?" ”
Yu didn't drive, walked beside the car and said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry." You see, the soil that comes out is yellow and black, and as long as you cultivate it carefully, it is all fertile land. ”
"Oh!"
Liu's face flushed, she was just the maid of the Liu family in Peijun and didn't understand farmland.
"It's here!"
Liu Zhi let out a long shout, and the convoy stopped at a boundary. Everyone got out of the car and looked around. The black and white Zhuangzi, backed by green mountains, faces a thousand hectares of concave plains, there are pools, rivers and barren fields. Liu Nong was also looking at it, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, and said in his heart: Liu Zhi really knows my heart, I only gave a rough idea, but he really found such a good place.
Liu Zhi said with a smile: "Xiao Langjun, let's look at it while walking, these fields can be opened, and if we can buy this Zhuangzi, Yang Xiaoniang has also made a lot of efforts." ”
Hearing this, Liu Nong's eyebrows trembled slightly. Yesterday, Liu Zhi told him that the original owner of this Zhuangzi was also a poor family of poetry and books, but in the past two generations, it has gradually declined, and the number of people has decreased. The last patriarch even committed a crime, got into trouble with the Lu family, won a lawsuit, and the family property was confiscated. And because of the remote location and the lack of good land, the county government sold it at a discount of 120,000 yuan, but no one cared about it. It has been held for two years, and at this time, Liu Zhi and Mr. Qingpao Li came at the same time......
When you think about something, your steps will be quick.
Bypass a peach forest, cross a small bridge, Zhuangzi is in front of you, not big, surrounded by four sides, two layers up and down, Kong Konggege, there are ten points of entry and fall.
At this time, there are still dozens of people, who are climbing up and down, uncovering tiles and changing pieces, mending and painting walls. Liu Zhi's face was slightly red, and he rubbed his hands and said, "I haven't lived for a long time, and it's a little dilapidated." However, as long as it is repaired, it must be a good Zhuangzi! I originally wanted to go to Taidian to wait for Langjun after the repair, but I didn't want Xiaolangjun to come so quickly......"
Liu Nong said with a smile: "It's already very good, only 100,000 yuan, so I bought such a Zhuangzi, with fifty hectares of barren land." In the future, let's build a Zhuangzi in front of the mountain pass, and the two compartments will be our manor! ”
At this time, those busy people stopped their busy work, and under the leadership of a strong man, they came to the front and knelt on the ground in unison. Rough and rough, men, women and children.
Liu Ji whispered in a low voice: "Xiao Langjun, a total of ten households, thirty-two people. There are two craftsmen, five farmers, and three hunters, all of whom I have selected, and all of them are good families. ”
Towards the crowd again, he said loudly: "This is the master mother and Xiao Langjun!" ”
"I've seen the housewife, I've seen Xiao Langjun!" The kneeling people said in unison, and they all turned their eyes to the Liu family, after all, Liu Nong was still a child, and he didn't figure out who was in charge.
It was the first time for Liu to be bowed down by so many people, he was surprised and delighted, and a little afraid, he was stunned for a while, and he called in a low voice: "Mastermother! When she called, Liu looked at his son pitifully, and he really didn't know what to do.
Liu Nong smiled: "Get up, don't be polite!" ”
After that, he stepped forward to help his mother and went to Zhuangzhong.
As soon as he stepped into the heavy village gate, before he had time to look at it, a melon shell fell from the sky, smashed on Liu Nong's small green crown, and rolled all the way down the robe to the ground.
Then, a crunchy voice sounded overhead: "Yo ho, come, let me see who it is?" ”
