Chapter 289: Dumplings are wine, the more you go!
The emperor glanced around, saw no one, and then said: "Cousin, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, there must be a good harvest next year, isn't it?" ”
"Of course, Your Majesty." Hou Ye also laughed, stretched out his hand to catch a few grains of snow, "The auspicious rain from the sky is a sign of the revival of Tianwu, one day, all the mountains and rivers in the world will return to the emperor's feet." ”
The emperor turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, you really don't plan to marry a wife and have children?" The Ye family's incense ......"
Hou Ye shook his head, "Right now, I just want to recover the rivers and mountains, if I can live to the day of victory, it's not too late to say this." If I die in battle, the emperor remembers to give everything to Fu Niu. ”
The emperor was helpless, "Let you lead the troops to fight, I really don't know if it's good or bad." ”
Hou Ye smiled, "Of course it's a good thing, I've never been so happy in my life." ”
With that, he looked at the sky, stepped back and saluted, and changed his name.
"Your Majesty, the minister is going back, at this time, I am afraid that the family has already wrapped the dumplings, so I am waiting for the minister to go back to eat."
It was rare for the emperor to see him like this, like a child who was in a hurry to come home from school, so he asked curiously: "The Li family's noodle soup is delicious, and the dumplings are not bad?" ”
"Of course," Hou Ye's expression actually added a little pride, "I will definitely bring a few to the emperor to taste when I have the opportunity in the future." ”
The emperor nodded, "Go ahead, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." ”
Hou Ye lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, "Thank you to the emperor for Longen, the minister will definitely give up his life and forget death for the rest of his life, recover the territory for the emperor, and restore the glory of Tianwu!" ”
After that, without waiting for the emperor's help, he got up and strode away.
A little eunuch hurriedly held a box and quickly followed.
The emperor's henchman saw it from afar, so he dared to step forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the time has come, is it a meal?" ”
The emperor pinched his heavy sleeves, nodded and ordered, "First destroy those flower pots and things on the floor of the study, don't let anyone see the traces, and then serve wine and food, I have a happy event to celebrate today." ”
The chief eunuch immediately raised a smile and responded happily: "Yes, the emperor will wait a minute, the old slave will be Zhang Luo." ”
The emperor turned around and went back to the dormitory, carefully took out the golden corn cob in his sleeve, put it in a brocade box, and then hid it in the dark compartment of the dragon bed.
After finishing all this, he sat down on the dragon bed steadily, his eyes were bright, as if there were thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him......
In the courtyard of the Li family, it is lively at this time, there are many people eating dumplings, and there are many people making dumplings.
At such a time, the village chief's wife and the three members of the Liu family are all invited to reunite.
plus Uncle Zhao and a few other old men, there are more than 20 people.
The women made noodles, chopped dumplings, and when they were ready, they set up a large table in the hall.
The men also helped out, gossiping and making dumplings together, all laughing and laughing.
The big housekeeper was left by the old lady to eat dumplings, and he also rolled up his sleeves to help at this time.
It's a pity that the first time he made dumplings, this finished product is really indescribable.
Looking back at it, even a doll as small as Fu Niu was decently wrapped, he couldn't help blushing and hurriedly studied hard.
The old lady occasionally looked up and said, "Don't worry, big housekeeper, come a few more times in the future, and learn slowly." ”
The big housekeeper was pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "Oh, then I can come often after listening to the old lady's words, the Hou Mansion is too deserted, and our house is still lively." ”
While he was talking, Hou Ye's carriage returned.
The courtyard immediately became more lively, and the village chief and others beckoned Hou Ye to sit and gossip together.
Jiayin ran over with two little fat hands and hugged his father-in-law's thighs.
Hou Ye wore a navy blue robe, and two white handprints were immediately printed.
Hou Ye didn't dislike it, hugged Jiayin and sat on his lap, and called out to the cat brother who ran out after his sister to step forward.
He opened the box in his hand, took out a pair of red agate kittens, and handed them to the cat brother.
Brother Cat was overjoyed, saluted and thanked him, and ran to show off with his father.
Jiayin, on the other hand, hugged the rest of the box, and almost somersaulted with joy.
The inside of the box were all gold bracelets, four pairs of them, all of which were solid.
Everyone took a look at it and understood.
"Fu Niu is rich!"
"This child's favorite thing is gold and silver, and in his previous life, he was afraid that he was a little fairy child who sat down with the God of Wealth."
"I think it's Pixiu, only in but not out!" When Mrs. Li came out to see her, she couldn't help but complain about her granddaughter, and blamed the Hou Ye, "She is a child, don't always give her these valuable things, she is really going to fall in the eyes of money." ”
Hou Ye admitted his mistake with a smile, "I promised the child before, I can't break my promise, and I won't give it in the future." ”
The old lady doesn't believe this, one in the family counts as one, as long as she is against Shangfu Niu, no one can help her coquettishness.
As long as the girl is happy, nothing matters.
Soon, the dinner table was set up, white and watery, with a few sweet and sour or salty side dishes, everyone sat around, all of them were sweet.
The village chief and a few other old men poured half a bowl of wine, a mouthful of dumplings and a sip of wine, and smiled heartily.
Dumplings with wine, the more you go.
But after eating the dumplings and getting half drunk, the old men pulled the Hou Ye and wiped their tears.
"Master Hou, when will we be able to fight back to Jiangbei, we don't know if we can bury our old bones back to the hillside of our hometown when we die."
"Yes, the broken gold beach is good, but I can't help but think about my hometown, I have dreamed of the locust flowers on the hillside these few nights."
Hou Ye was not impatient, and patiently comforted them, "Soon, it won't take three years, and I will definitely go back to Jiangbei." ”
"Okay, we can't lift the knife anymore, but we have a variety of grains and melons, and when the time comes, we will contribute food and support Lord Hou!"
The old men were so happy that they went back to sleep.
Li Zhensheng excused himself to borrow books and followed Hou Ye to the next courtyard.
It happened that Ye Shan hurried back, and after saluting, he said: "Master Hou, the Wang family can't hold on, and sent someone to the house to deliver a letter." ”
With that, he held a letter in both hands.
Hou Ye opened it, read it at a glance, and couldn't help sneering, "Everyone in the world is like this, if the suffering doesn't fall on you, you will never know the pain, and now that you are in a different position, Wang Bowei is finally in a hurry." ”
Li Zhensheng was curious, so he asked, "But because of my incident?" ”
Hou Ye shook his head, "No, the third child of the Wang family was thrown into Dali Temple and never released." Xu is cold in prison, sick, no one to treat him, and now it is a bit serious, and the Wang family is anxious. I plan to donate 200 acres of land to house wounded soldiers for me, and in exchange for my relaxation, Wang Laosan will be removed from the assassination case. ”
Li Zhensheng heard the warmth in his heart, Hou Ye said that it was not because of him, but he still let Wang Sanye experience the hardships he had experienced from beginning to end.
What a short-term protection this is, only if he and the Li family are truly regarded as their own people, will it be so!
Hou Ye poured two cups of tea with his own hands, and said: "That person's meaning, agree with you to enter the caravan, but the transportation and planting of seeds will be solved by ourselves, and he will only look at the results of next autumn."
"It's easy to transport seeds, but it's a bit of a hassle to plant. First, here in Broken Golden Beach, it is either a mountainous land with orchards or river flats, which is not suitable for growing corn and potatoes. Second, our Hou Mansion came with the relocation of the capital, and there was no land in the vicinity. Today, the Wang family sent these 200 acres of land, which solved the urgent need. ”
