Among the few classmates invited by Jiaren, two of them were the companions and nephews that Mr. Wen brought to the valley that day, and they were very good in character and not arrogant.

The other three are all from similar backgrounds to the Li family, but they are generous and study hard.

And the student who celebrated his birthday today is a little fat man, who is greedy on weekdays and is very happy and kind. Secretly eat a jerky in the middle of the night, and will also stuff it for Jiaren, and the two get along very well.

Therefore, Jiaren thought of asking his younger brother to stir-fry vegetables and put on a birthday banquet for him.

The little fat man was so happy, he liked to eat this dish, and that dish was also sweet, and finally pulled the honest family Huan to ask where to learn the craft, and he couldn't wait to send the cook at home to learn the art.

Everyone was also full of food, making fun of the fat man, arguing for Jiaren to take precautions, and the fat man wanted to steal the teacher at noon.

At this time, Li Laosan hugged a cold melon and said with a smile.

"Jiaren, this is the cold melon in our field, and I sent three of them in the afternoon. You cut one and taste it with the little gentlemen, and the remaining two will be brought to the courtyard gentlemen tomorrow. ”

"Oh, our cold melon is ripe?" Jiaren was happy, quickly thanked the third uncle, and then beckoned his classmates to cut cold melons together.

The students were curious, and they gathered around to look at the big guy, and suddenly the little fat man shouted, "Oh, I know, my father came over the day before yesterday and said that he wanted to buy me some jasper melon as a birthday gift, but he didn't buy it." It can't be this, right? ”

Li Laosan puffed up his chest proudly and said with a smile, "That's it, when I went forward first and dedicated it to the emperor, the emperor gave me the name of Jasper Melon." ”

The students exploded, "This is the cold melon given by the emperor?" ”

"It's so expensive, isn't it a pity for us to eat?"

"I heard that this thing costs ten taels of silver each."

"No, it's going to cost dozens of bites, it's too extravagant!"

Jiaren didn't know how to do it with a kitchen knife, so he asked his younger brother for help.

Jia Huan is very sharp, and it is cut with a few brushes.

Jiaren took two pieces first, held them to his uncle and aunt, and then invited his classmates to eat.

The students also saluted and thanked them, and then ate away.

"Woo, that's delicious." The little fat man hugged a piece of the biggest cold melon, and he was so moved that he was about to cry, "Jiaren, do you still lack a son in your family, I want to be your brother, I want to lie in the field and eat cold melon!" ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, "Be careful of being heard by your father and smash your ass!" ”

"Then let my father plant a few acres, and I will lie in my field to eat." The little fat man remembered his father's big slap, and quickly changed his words, causing everyone to laugh.

Jia Huan rarely interjected, "Someone from the family said that whoever wants to grow cold melons, we will teach them at home." Next year, many people will plant in the nearby villages. ”

The little fat man was originally joking, but he didn't expect the Li family to really spread the word, and he was surprised that the melon seeds forgot to vomit.

"Your family is so generous, such a cornucopia is willing to give it away!"

The rest of the classmates also nodded, ten taels of silver for a cold melon, no variety, planting a few acres of land a year, that is, tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is easier than grabbing money, and it was actually taught like this.

Jia Huan smiled and nodded, "If the family says so, it must be right." ”

The little fat man hurriedly collected all the melon seeds and protected them in front of him, "Don't rob me, these melon seeds are mine." ”

"No, it's mine, mine!"

"And me, I want it too!"

The students pretended to grab it and made a mess, but in the end they gave it to the little fat man and made an appointment to go to his house to eat cold melon next year, so that's it.

The backyard of the small shop, because these students came to visit, was so lively that it almost overturned the roof.

Li Laosan and his wife sat under the eaves, shaking the pu fan, laughing and watching them play, thinking about when they would go home one day and talk to the old lady, so that the old lady would also be happy.

The nephew is completely on the ground in the academy, and the family doesn't have to worry too much.

After lunch on the second day, Jiaren brought Jia Huan and entered the academy one by one with a cold melon.

Gou Yu'er wanted to help, but he was too small and had no strength, and he couldn't hold a cold melon for twenty pounds.

Jiaren went to the dean's courtyard first, but unfortunately he didn't see the dean, so it was not easy to enter, so he only gave the cold melon to the old servant who guarded the courtyard.

The old servant glared in astonishment, and looked at Jiaren carefully.

A few days ago, a disciple of the dean specially sent one over, and I heard that it was very expensive.

But at this time, an ordinary student actually hugged a cold melon to pay respect, which surprised him too much.

He specially asked Jiaren's name, and then accepted it.

Jiaren didn't think much about it, and took his younger brother to Mr. Coach's yard again.

The gentleman in charge of Jiaren's class is surnamed Peng, and he is an erudite and funny middle-aged man, because he knows Mr. Wen, he treats Jiaren very well.

At this time, Mr. Peng was of course also happy, and pulled Jiaren to say a few more words.

Jia Huan was uncomfortable in the house, so he waited in the yard.

There was a pond of koi fish in the corner of the yard, and it was very cheerful to swim around, and he couldn't help but go to visit, gesturing in his hands.

A girl watched from a distance for a while, then stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing, practicing martial arts?" ”

Jia Huan was startled, turned his head and saw that it was a beautiful little girl, he blushed, and hurriedly said, "I don't know martial arts, I'm a cook, I can't help but wonder when I see these fish, how to cut them with a knife, it's easier to taste when pickled......"

The girl was stunned for a moment, giggling with laughter, and Jia Huan's face turned even redder.

Jiaren said goodbye to Mr. and came out, but when he didn't see his brother, he opened his mouth and shouted a few words.

Jia Huan hurriedly turned out from the corner of the courtyard, "Brother, I'm here." ”

"Why is your face so red? Got the sun? Jiaren touched his brother's head and pulled him out, "Go home and wash your face and rest for a while." ”

"Got it, brother." Jia Huan responded, followed the eldest brother out of the courtyard gate, and couldn't help but secretly look at the corner of the courtyard......

Although the mountains and forests in summer are much more dangerous than in winter, they are shaded by trees and not exposed to the scorching sun, but they are extremely cool.

Li Laosi and Ye Shan, with Jiayi and Liu Yang, as well as twenty personal soldiers assigned by Ye Gongzi, have been in the mountain for eight or nine days.

There are no old and weak, no extra bags, they march fast.

Li Laosi roasted the rabbit in his hand with one hand, slapped the mosquitoes with the other, and said to everyone.

"We'll be almost in that valley tomorrow at noon. There are only two hills away from the official road outside, so when the time comes, fix it, rest well, and then go to find out what is going on outside. If you can catch two barbarians, it would be better to ask them what they are. ”

Ye Shan and the soldiers all nodded, they originally thought that Li Laosi and the two and a half sons would be a little dragged down.

Where did I think that these three people entered the mountains and forests, they were like fish in water, and they were more familiar than their own families.

Sure enough, no one can underestimate it.

On this night, everyone took turns to keep vigil, and finally waited until dawn to set off immediately.

At the beginning, the valley where the Li family and the villagers spent the winter was not on the center line of the north-south through the mountains and forests, and was slightly easterly, so it is reasonable to say that it is not easy to be found.

Moreover, it is very close to the official road, and generally people who enter the mountains and forests are to avoid the pursuit of barbarians, so they will definitely stay away from here.

Therefore, Li Laosi was not very worried about the valley being discovered.

But when they finally arrived, they were dumbfounded by what they saw.

Three more than 6,000 words, offered!
