Ying and the second daughter Tianmeng Meng Liang cleaned up, pretended to be a peasant woman and took a large number of maids to the ground, I don't know whether they are affected or the maids are affected, I think the cost of picking up this wheat is too high, it is better not to pick it up. If so many noblewomen in Chang'an do this, it will inevitably be a bit like that, think about the appearance of Lanling wearing an Lan coat and a handkerchief on his head, and it would be more perfect to be sunbathed.

Today's rent payment and rent collection have found a common topic, that is, the inexplicable fire of the Yun family last night. As the first witness (self-proclaimed) and the only firefighting hero of the Wang family who was invited by the government to understand the situation and accept the commendation, Steward Qian has the capital to boast; From the fire to the fire extinguished, it was thrilling and bizarre, as if he had set the fire with his own hands, and he kept showing off the certificate of award issued by the government to the Wang family, and the people who were hooked by everyone's praise and envy went crazy, if it weren't for the Hu account room to keep reminding, Lao Qian had the possibility of becoming the originator of the cross talk industry.

According to the money housekeeper, the Yun family is finished, the old man and the old lady have not been rescued, and the eldest lady of the Yun family (the one who threw the carriage yesterday) and the two twin brothers who are not yet ten years old are left in the house. There will be no insurance company here, and a fire can bury the huge family business, and it seems that the Yun family's life is going to be difficult for a while.

"Laifu, go and bring Wangcai to me," I sealed the grain depot today, only gnawed a few pieces of meat and bones, threw it away, and asked the next person to bring the watchdog who was named 'Wangcai' by me yesterday to Carrier City. "Go outside and put away all the bones that people have gnawed, and the family dog can't be treated badly!" Yesterday, I was bored and bored, so I brought all the nine big wolf dogs in the family to wash them beautifully. Ancient dogs did not pay much attention to personal hygiene, and were more reluctant to bathe, and when the water was poured on their bodies, they barked miserably, just like killing them. Just one of the most well-behaved, after washing, lying comfortably on the flower platform in the middle of the yard to bask in the sun, I was rewarded with half a plate of osmanthus cake and a name. "What are you doing?"

"Back to the little marquis, the bones in the basin outside the door are still useful, and the little ones don't dare to feed the dogs casually."

"Huh? What else do you get when you've eaten it clean? ”

"If you want to go back to the pot to cook the soup, you have to cook it for a day or two before it is ready."

Oh, the cake seller! I had a chill down my spine and a precursor to stomach cramps, "Today's soup is boiled on the bones?" "At my feet is the big bowl I just swept away, and there are a few clean bone sticks in it.

"Added new ones, cooked together, and there were yesterday's." Laifu saw that my face was dim, my eyes were not good, I couldn't figure out my intentions, my heart was weak, and I was a little scared.

"It's okay, you don't need to bring the fortune over, go and pour the bones in my bowl into the pot and boil them, don't waste the things." No wonder when the broth was delivered today, the housekeeper porcelain was only grinding for a long time, and the doorway was here for half a day. With a revenge mentality, let the subordinates throw the bones I gnawed back into the soup, so that everyone is fair!

It's over, I can't eat today, I called two pots of hawthorn water to rinse my mouth, and the thought of sticking the seal is gone, "Come here, help me put the seal!" The old man is not feeling well and wants to go out for activities. "Throwing a handful of seals to his subordinates, he ran out of the yard alone to find a place where no one was, thinking about the deeds of the old revolutionaries of the Red Army who did not change the color of their leather uppers, punched and kicked, sweated, and finally felt a little cooler.

Just as he was deciding to go back to sleep and forget about it, two knights on the official road rushed to the fork in the road leading to the king's house. Both of them are dressed as low-ranking officers, are they looking for me? Hurry up and run home.

Sure enough, both of them were Qin Yu's subordinates who returned to Beijing on official business, and they were entrusted to deliver a message to me.

"Why did the team get stationed in Shancheng? Isn't it still in Shanzhou in the middle of the year? After knowing where Qin Yu was now, he suddenly became worried. Shancheng is located on the border of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet, which can be said to be a city pressed on the border line, even in peacetime, there are constant conflicts, not to mention that the strategic focus of the imperial court is now in Liaodong. The Tang Dynasty is growing in strength, and Tibet is gradually entering a prosperous period, and the two sides have been facing each other for a long time, both of which are in full swing, and a little friction can cause large-scale conflicts. At this time, the soldiers stationed at the border are all composed of the children of Guanzhong, not to mention being angry, it is good not to take the initiative to cross the border and bully people. At the beginning of summer, it was the most chaotic time on the Tang-Tubo border, "Have you fought with the Tubo?" ”

"Back to joining the army!" When an officer with a large position saw me asking, he quickly stood up and clenched his fists and replied, "Before the last general came back, he had already fought with the Tubo people in six battles, and I alone beheaded more than 700 pieces and captured more than 100 people, without a single defeat. Bao said with pride, and talked eloquently: "Qin Duwei has made up for the lack of Xue Zhiwei in front of the army, and he has jurisdiction over the seven prefectures of Shancheng, and the last general will be Qin Zhiwei's old subordinate department." ”

"It's all your own people, sit down and talk, and when you get here, it's the same as your own family, don't get in the army, sit down," Since it is Qin Yu's old subordinate, he naturally has to be treated politely. It is worthy of being my student, it has only been half a year, and now it is more than 10,000 people, and my face as a teacher is glorious. Du Feng, the secretary of the military department, is really ruthless; No matter how ruthless he is to the enemy, he took advantage of the country's war to send his nephew's safety to the front line to gain fame, although the effect is fast, but the risk is too great, so that I, an outsider, can't see it. However, now that Qin Yu has entered the ranks of senior generals, he is already the commander-in-chief of the small defense area, as long as national sports such as general battles are not held, there will be no danger, and I am relieved. "It's convenient for you to eat beef and mutton over there, I'll copy a recipe for fried noodles now, and give it to Qin Zhiwei when you two go back." This thing is convenient and delicious to eat, and it is easy to store and should not spoil. After that, he took a pen and paper and wrote down the production process of fried noodles, instructed the kitchen to set up a banquet, and took some small gifts to the two little generals before leaving, and the two sides parted happily.

According to the current situation, Qin Yu will not be able to come back for a while. As long as the battle in Liaodong is peaceful, the imperial court may point the finger at the Western Turks who are causing civil strife, and the recent military report of the right military guard shows that the Anxi Protectorate is being deployed in a seemingly harmless manner south of Qiuci, and the Guanzhong army will have to continue to deploy on the Tangtu border for a while. It seems that the current emperor is still in good health, at least now he is still energetic and attacking everywhere, wantonly searching for territory for the country, and full of energy.

After seeing the elephants of the border soldiers devouring and eating, I was ashamed of my life of fine clothes and fine food, and I made a deep reflection on the bad mood caused by a bowl of bone broth in the morning. So I made a righteous move and ordered the kitchen to add a lot of fresh bones to the big pot where the rice was put outside. The soup still doesn't change, after all, after cooking for more than a day, no matter how powerful the bacteria are, they are dead, and it's strange to be fragrant, and it's a pity to pour it.

Ying and her second daughter returned from picking up wheat with a smile, and they picked up about 100 grains of wheat in total. The second daughter was diligent, and she also caught some grasshoppers for the chickens at home, and there were about thirty or forty of them, which is the credit of the two ladies for most of the day, four words: labor and money. It is estimated that the legendary virtuous and virtuous eldest grandson queen also did the same, I don't know if Li Shimin also has the same urge to beat people as I do.

"I'm so tired, I've been in the sun for a day, and I haven't even had time to drink saliva." As soon as Ying entered the back house, she began to shout bitterly, "Second daughter, ask your subordinates to prepare hawthorn water." Yikes! I didn't wash my hands when I came in, I was dirty, I caught the grasshopper's dirty hands, and I washed them quickly! ”

"Just pick up such a little wheat and come back, it's not enough for hawthorn water," I peeled a grain of wheat and put it in my mouth to chew, and said to Ying, who was changing clothes: "Don't do anything, and the sun is still basking in the sun, so lie down on the kang for a while." ”

"Originally, it was picked up well, but the second daughter went to the Yun family to watch the excitement, and the matter was delayed." Ying took the changed clothes and shook the dust vigorously outside the door, "It's dirty, I planted a heel when I crossed the slope, and my ankle still hurts." ”

"Well deserved." Pushed Ying onto the bed, grabbed a foot and came over to massage, "Don't buckle the second girl's head, it's definitely you're going." People only suffered a disaster yesterday, not to mention to comfort them, but also to join in the fun. Tell me, what have you seen, what's the situation? ”

"Wrong," Ying gave me a different foot, "Tap, it's broken." I'm afraid that it won't work, and the grain depot will be burned down, but fortunately, the rent on his village has not been paid, and the grain is still enough to eat for a few days. It doesn't look like the situation is very good, and if you want to recover, you can't slow it down for three or five years. ”

"All neighbors, if you don't borrow some money and food for his family first, the villagers will pass over." I pushed Ying Chao into the kang and let her sleep peacefully, "Our family still has a lot of food in stock, and we have collected so much rent, so there is no shortage of this." "Since they are neighbors, people are in trouble, even if there are grievances, they have been revealed, and it is good to do their best to help the place.
