Chapter 243: A Lifetime Event

Superiority is a complex thing, and according to my understanding, it should not be far from the theory of relativity? It's like a person who knows two words becomes a pedant in front of the illiterate, a one-eyed dragon laughs at a blind man, and a lame paraplegic with a big broken limb has a reason. The farmers of Wang's Zhuangzi obviously have this trend, and their relative sense of superiority makes everyone feel that they have become superior people, at least compared with Houcun, which makes the farmers and landlords in Houcun very annoyed.

The landlord of the back village, Lao Cai, has a good character, surnamed Zhao, and the old four (mother-in-law) and the Wang family have been neighborly and friendly for decades. When Ying expanded the school, Mrs. Zhao came to the door and proposed that the school be jointly funded by the two families, with only one condition, and the Houcun doll enjoyed the same admission conditions as the Wang family Zhuangzi.

"Then agree, old neighbor, our lime kiln is still in the village behind the family, and the request is not too much." The old Zhao family relied on more than 700 acres of fertile land to live, neither in business, nor much background in the court, the two sons only passed the exam, and became a small official in the local area, at best, they were a solid family.

"It's not just for this, it's just for the sake of talking." Ying felt that others had asked for a very face-saving thing, especially in the past two years, the Wang family had risen sharply in the local area, and there were many people who came to her to do things before and after, and the scene was also open. "In other words, although her family has little land, the village is large, and there are few farmers, but fortunately there is a lime kiln to show the excitement."

"Oh, that's good, people want your Chen family to invest in the past. Outsiders don't know, thinking that the improvement of the Wang family Zhuangzi in recent years is the credit of the Chen family who came to build a workshop, and wants to seek some benefits for their own family and the villagers. "The old Zhuangzi of the Wang family can not stuff the workshop, the new Zhuangzi has a huge weaving workshop, although there is still vacant land, but with the previous lessons, I dare not build more, lest the weaving industry flourish and there is no place to expand." It's a good thing, let's see what the second daughter and the fourth have planned. Don't you want to separate the perfume from the toilet moisture, there is a place now. ”

"So the gentleman is not enough." Ying only said that the school, if she didn't take the perfume, it seems that she has a plan in mind.

"I mean, since you have made it bigger, you can invite the two gentlemen, and the money is out of our family. The dolls came to school after handing over the food, and after a few passes outside the school, they all felt like they were making a fuss in the West Market. "I didn't imagine what a middle school hall would look like. It's not even as good as a martial arts school, and it's very suitable to train a ringing horse. "You try it according to the rules of the county lord's school, we can't do it in our own house."

"That can cost money, the school that people give to the children of the clan, we run it for the farmers." Ying grinned reluctantly, "Speaking of which, it's just pretending, and I don't expect to have a tribute." ”

"Look, fool people. The starting point is not the same. Caixiang Gong, if you get a little better, maybe you can get out of Jinshi, "It's impossible to think about it, these years the imperial examination subjects are complicated, Ming Jing, Jinshi, Ming Law, Ming Shu, Ming Calculation, Xiucai and so on." Qualified teachers alone are not enough, and it is expected that candidates who fail the provincial examination can teach what kind of students can come out. Scratching his head, he said, "Forget it, try to make it better, just don't fool people." ”

Ying smiled when she heard me. "Just do as you say, but Jinshi will forget it. I heard them say that if there is a Gongsheng who has a clear calculation to enter Beijing, the first thing he will do is to thank you, and he can be recommended by you, and he can't run away from the first and second places. ”

"Less nonsense. Don't swagger outside, this will be the time when the students come over, and you will be beaten half to death by you like Xie Bao that year. I still don't want to go to La Dali Temple? "Headache, the exam atmosphere is not good these years, students don't talk about reviewing their homework, they first cling to well-known people in the industry in the capital, hoping to mix up a good reputation, which indirectly creates a lot of academic tyrants.

"It's a shame to mention that thing less." Ying was amused by me and blushed and pushed embarrassedly. "Where's Xie Bao? Why don't you mention it so often? ”

"It's time to go back to Beijing. With the Du and Qin families taking care of them, there may be a hope for a few years of sharpening. "Xie Bao has always wanted to go to the frontier to kill the Tibetans. may be disappointed, now that the Tubo people are valuable, don't talk about others if they kill too much, Ying may send the second lady to break his other arm again. Du Feng had already begun to deal with the aftermath of the war, and according to the detailed analysis of the information transmitted back from there, there was a possibility of a large-scale famine in Tibet next year, and the domestic resistance would skyrocket, and the political situation would be chaotic, not to mention maintaining the confrontation between the army and the Tang army. Even if the Tang army withdraws at this time, Tuyuhun's army is enough for the Tubo people to drink a pot, and after two years of resistance against Japan, they can finally export their evil anger, and of course they will not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs.

Firearms were sent too late, the war was coming to an end, and it was a bit of a waste to use long-range strikes to cooperate with Tuyuhun soldiers in combat, and I didn't expect firearms to control the situation of the war, mainly to assess the actual combat ability of new weapons, and they could only be equipped on a large scale after the approval of the military, and Uncle Cao was looking forward to the arrival of this day.

Judging from the military reports sent back, although the use of firearms in the mountainous areas was restricted, the results were still satisfactory; under the containment of the Tang Army, the Tuyuhun Liberation Organization, which had been coordinated by long-range strikes, had achieved brilliant results, and had gradually regained control of the three-way territory, and was only one step away from opening up the supply line to Jiannan. The noose around the necks of the Tibetans became tighter and tighter, and once the three forks were lost, the Tibetans would lose their only strategic advantage, and there would be no reason to confront the coalition forces again.

The military report sent by Mr. Cheng recently already has the meaning of inviting merit, and Su Dingfang has returned two lists of meritorious personnel in a row, and Zheng Hongdi's name ranks first in the merit book. What is puzzling is that the two old men also frequently mentioned my name in the military newspaper, as one of the earliest tactical researchers, who put forward a lot of planning and strategies that affected the battle situation, and was also the recommended person of Zheng Hong, a famous general in World War I, Wang Xiuqi has an unshirkable credit.

"It seems that it can't be shirked." Shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "It's not easy to do." ”

"Push to whom? It's our family's credit! "Ying is not to be compromised, anyway, my merits are her merits, I have no place to show off, and I will be scolded for swaggering all over the street. Ying is different, she is full of snobbery in her circle, and she is embarrassed to take out a few more catties of food, not to mention military exploits. said proudly: "If you want to say that the younger generation can raise your head and speak, except for the concubine, it belongs to the lady of the Qin family." ”

"Don't be disgusting, I'm not afraid of a broken tail if I look up all day long, and I don't even have a place to put a plaster." This is an allusion that is widely spread in the fishing community in Xi'an. In the past, a fisherman bought a Swedish sunshade at a large price, claiming that the half-year bonus was smashed inside, in order to show the value of his glasses, he did not look at the fish drift to look at the sun when fishing, and his eyes were out of balance. One butt sat on the ground, resting on the pebbles, and broke the tail bone. When we met again, one of the bad guys asked, "Why don't you put a plaster cast?" The classic question has since become a good story.

Of course, Ying didn't know this allusion, but she also heard that it wasn't a compliment to her, so she pushed me a few times and tortured the second daughter who was blindly cooing on the kang.

"Don't abuse pregnant women!" lifted his foot to rescue the second daughter, reached out and took out a bag of jewelry and cloth from her clothes, "What are you hiding?" Pretend to have a big belly and expect someone on the bus to give you a seat? ”

Ying grabbed it and spread it on the kang to review it, flipping through it and commenting on it. "This girl is rich now, I can't even afford to buy it, so let her buy it." Twisted up a hairpin with a large pearl inlaid with nails and inserted it on each head, took the bronze mirror and looked left and right, and nodded with satisfaction, "I'll wear it for a few days." ”

The second girl opened her mouth and nodded helplessly.

"Less grabbing of baby things." Pack up the package and throw it to the second daughter, "Hurry up and put it away." After a while, it will be gone. ”

The second daughter even rolled and climbed to hide on the corner of the kang and hid it in her box, Ying smiled and picked off the hairpin and flew over, "I also took it, stingy." He turned back to me and said, "This girl has a lot of money hidden in her private room, and she can't get it out of that bag of jewelry." ”

"Do you mean that I will have to spend money on the second daughter in the future?" Seeing that the second daughter locked the box tightly, she dragged it over and groped for her body. "If you steal it, you will have a handful of loose money on you."

"How many tents are placed outside?" Ying smiled and pinched the second daughter's chin, "I was mixed with you last time, and I will explain it today!" ”

The second daughter laughed and shook her fingers.

"Two hundred?" Ying Zhao slapped her head. "You say 200, I'll count it as 400, and the fourth child has no conscience to let out more than 1,000 yuan, and the family is in a hurry to use the money but pretends not to see it."

"What does our family money have to do with the fourth child? You will be wide. He turned over and moved a recliner under the eaves, "It's cool in summer, the stars outside are so good, and the ground is bright." ”

"The lantern shines, and it has nothing to do with the stars." Ying moved a bench and sat in front of her, "The voice of the toad in the Yunjia pond is noisy. I can't sleep well. ”

"It's nonsense, that's the sound of our pond, how far away is the Yunjia pond, you really have become a good ear." Last year was not angry, this year the garden at home is full of all kinds of amphibians, frogs can be forgiven for being noisy in summer, but toads are disgusting, and there are no natural enemies. Energetic reproduction. Yesterday and the second daughter planned to be in the garden for a while. As soon as he sat down, a toad of more than half a catty crawled over the feet of the second girl as if no one was around. After only two days of wearing new shoes, he was thrown into the room by the second daughter.

"No matter whose house it is, we can't get into the garden, and the insects and hippos are jumping everywhere. The housekeeper said that that thing attracts snakes and night owls, and if you don't clean it up, there will be a five-poison party at home. Ying smacked her face, and the bitter cauliflower looked, "If it weren't for the family's tight money, the garden would have been renovated." ”

"Hey, hey, it's beautiful." As soon as Ying said the expression of the garden, I wanted to laugh, it was very interesting. This is the true portrayal of Ying's appreciation ability back then, "Don't renovate, you have to keep it for future generations as a reference, and if your descendants are disobedient, they will be punished directly to the garden for the night." Yes, from now on, we will make this law! ”

"Then the second daughter will go first!" Ying twisted it hard, "Du Wei Chi's family is harmful, and he said that he wanted to renovate it, but he had to push it back as soon as he spent money," he turned his face and said to the second daughter: "Put the land tent for you and take it back, and take our family to repair the garden!" ”

The second daughter slipped up to me and shook her head in a threatening manner.

"It's going to be a battle," Ying put me on hold and pulled the second daughter over, and slapped her buttocks twice, "I forgot when I spoke, Dalai was of the age of marriage, and there were people who came to ask her, I don't know what she meant." ”

"Who's home?" Ying didn't say this, I didn't have this consciousness at all, and I thought that sixteen or seventeen girls couldn't be related to marriage.

"The housekeeper asked, it seemed that it was the nearby Zhuangzi who asked him to kiss," Ying thought for a while and didn't remember whose house, "Just remember that the family is good, see if you can get a kiss." ”

"Who climbs whom?"

"Of course he climbs our house. Dalai said that he was also a relative of the housekeeper, and now the reputation of Uncle Qian of the Wang family can be used as a money envoy outside. Ying laughed as she spoke, "When the second lady built a new house." ran out to pull furniture, but he didn't have enough money, just saying that Uncle Qian of the Wang family asked him to pull it, and they loaded the car for him without saying a word. When I was selling furniture, I came to the housekeeper to ask for an account, and the old money made a day of anger. ”

"I'll have to ask Dalai, "Since old money can open this mouth." It seems that the man's conditions have also been said in the past, and the old housekeeper has to give the land for face. "Why don't you go?"

Ying called a maid outside the door to convey Lai, "It's a pity to marry a strange person, so I will take care of the workshop." ”

"A workshop is a workshop, since she has been given an identity, don't delay this marriage event. Our family is not overbearing to the point of recognizing money and not people. "Seeing Dalai coming, I asked the maid to move the bench opposite and pointed." Sit down, Madame has something to ask you. ”

Dalai thanked him carefully, glanced timidly at Ying, and sat down on the edge of the stool.

"Seventeen, huh?" Ying handed over a peach angrily, "It's been almost three years since I've been at home?" ”

"It's almost there." Dalai didn't dare to eat a peach, and peeked at the two of us in his hand.

"Someone who is in charge of the family talks to our family, and the man's family is also considered solid." Seeing that Dalai was nervous, Ying smiled and beckoned to her. He passed his bracelet over Dalai's wrist along his wrist, "Don't be afraid, I'm not going to push you outward." It depends on what you mean, okay, let's find someone to go over and check the details of the other party, and if it doesn't work, we will push it off with a word. ”

Dallai was silent. I can't see the expression, I don't know what she thinks.

"Speaking of which, you are a big girl at home, and now you have a workshop, right-hand man, and I am reluctant to let it go. But when you get older, you have to get married after all. No one dares to give you a look when the people summoned by the Wang family go out, and you are also worth dozens of times, and the head of the family is seated. Ying looked down at Dalai and said with a smile: "Why don't you think about it first, come back to me and think about it." ”

Dallai nodded, saluted and left.

Troublesome things, once you get married, the family workshop will definitely have to be managed by someone else. There are not many good people in this hand. Especially in the weaving industry, there are women in a factory, and it is not easy to send a man to the past, but the second woman and Ying can't take care of it, and I don't feel at ease when I look for one.

In agriculture, I ponder this matter all day long, and it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is difficult to find a general. Sitting under the thatched pavilion with a bowl of sour plum soup and watching the thriving experimental fields, the garden was too big when Agronomy was first established. The wasteland is bleak. Now I feel that I am small again, and I have to enclose another land. It seems that the agricultural science is all my credit today, and it has nothing to do with the old guy surnamed Liu in the distance.

Since it is a special supply, it doesn't matter if the price is set at a high point, several experts in agronomy suggest that the price is twice as high as the general rapeseed, so calculated, a little bit of income.

"It's like this for the first two years, if you really let it go, then the income will be scared." According to the estimate, excluding the cost of the land apportionment, such as acreage, experts, and labor, if you do not purchase the land, it is almost a tie. "It's the first step."

"Well," Lan Ling nodded, "If the whole country can implement it, it will be amazing to have more than these two percent of the output." ”

"Not so much in the whole country, where the area of wheat is very small. Rice, millet, sorghum, and oil wheat all need to be improved, and they need to adapt to different climatic and geographical conditions. ”

"You can't be in a hurry, come steadily." Lan Ling pinched his knuckles, "Go back and talk to Liu Renliang, I plan to show my face in agriculture in person in the next few days." ”

"What? It's all bitter, whose mess are you running to make? ”

"I'm going to buy wheat seeds, to give agronomy a boost, and to make sure that no one chews his tongue." Lanling pressed his feet and pulled his tendons, "Don't think about it, agriculture is funded by the inner government, who will go if I don't go?" ”

"Then you bring some prizes," is also a way, the eldest princess came to inspect in person, and distributed condolences from the royal family to the experts in agriculture, and it was indeed very face-saving to spread it. "By the way, commending an advanced worker or something, it can also inspire the atmosphere of striving for the upper reaches of the agricultural industry."

"That's how I plan it, you and Liu Renliang draw up a list and send it up, and commend a few in public, mention a name or something." Speaking of this, he smiled, "You are not allowed to report yourself, you and Liu Renliang are both people with official positions, and if you want to commend them, you will go from the imperial court, and you should not fight the idea of the inner government." ”

"When I'm a hitch!" I saw it for Lanling. I think that I was advanced every year, but this time I didn't have a share in ancient times, which is disappointing. "What's the name? Try not to be linked to the official position of the imperial court, even if it is a certificate of merit, the kind that has a reputation and no official position. ”

"Well, I discussed this matter with the imperial brother, so I added some titles out of thin air, false titles, and the royal family issued rewards. What do you mean by the Certificate of Merit? ”

"Precious metals, don't be stingy." I'm good at this, I draw with my handle, wheat ears on both sides, a sickle in the middle and a few other farm tools, add a few stars, look left and right, and raise the pen to write the word 'Wu Fen' from left to right, which is complete. "This is the pattern of the medallion. The award certificate is much easier, you ask the emperor to write a few words of encouragement and engrave it into a positive board, take a good paper and print a few more sheets, and temporarily add the name of the party and the year, month and day when the award is issued. ”

"What did you draw?" Lan Ling picked it up and looked at it for a while, and wondered: "Two snakes? Stir-fry spoons, chopsticks? How many pieces of chopped pot helmet? Still write two words? It's a word, right? ”

It's so infuriating that the work of the founder of the Chang'an School of Painting didn't even say the right thing, and he was furious: "I decided not to talk to you for a month, and you will ignore me in the future!" ”
