Chapter 68: Preparation
As the New Year passes, the snow clears and the ground is faintly green.
There is a Xinshui ballad circulating in the county, praising the season here: "1929 does not make a move, 3949 goes up the river, 5969 looks at the willows along the river, 79 opens the river ** geese come, 99 and 19, ploughing cattle everywhere!"
At this time, out of the ninety-nine days, the ice surface of Xinshui is civilized, the river rises, moistening the land on both banks, pieces of farmland, the green on the terraces, Dayanguan servants lead the ploughing oxen to plough the farmland, sowing harvest seeds in the new year.
Xie Xiang and Wang Cunye stood on the steps and looked down, observing the tenants who were busy farming, the early spring wind was still a little cold, but it was no big problem.
Xie Xiangtong was dressed in green silk, embroidered with plum blossoms, his wrists were snow-white and crystalline, his fingers were slender and slicing, and his face was white with a hint of red, with blood, Wang Cunye looked at it and was happy in his heart: "Your body and bones are getting better and better, this White Tiger Pei Yuan Dan is much better than mountain medicinal herbs!"
"Well, I think so, too!" Xie Xiang thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"After a while of raising our bodies, we will go to see our parents and salute in person, huh?" Wang Cunye said, which implied that he was going to get married.
When Xie Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but blush a little again: "Isn't it a little inappropriate to pass like this?"
"Me and your childhood sweetheart, and it's a matter that the master has long decided, who can care about these things with us?" Wang Cunye smiled and pulled Xie Xiang with his hand: "But although your body is gradually improving, you can't blow the wind in the end, don't look down much, just go inside to avoid it!"
Accompanied to the dripping eaves outside the hall before stopping, Xie Xiang smiled: "There is one more thing, Lu Ye's family has a body, and I only found out in the past few days!"
"It's a good thing, people with bodies don't work too hard, and ask the mother-in-law of the head of the household, Peng Tian, to take care of more things. Wang Cunye was still quite superstitious about the concept that he couldn't work for the first three months, so he commanded.
After a few more words, he sent Xie Xiang back accompanied by the maid who came, and after a long time, he sighed and entered the hall, and Bai Susu immediately appeared in the hall.
“...... How's the situation?" Wang Cunye asked coldly.
"It's not very good, I went to the Shinto path, and I heard a lot of bad rumors. Bai Susu replied, "Shui Bo and Wei Hou are very bad!
Wang Cunye didn't speak for a while, stood up and paced slowly in the hall, and said with a sneer: "Shuifu and Wei Hou were originally suspicious of each other, and it is not uncommon to have this situation. ”
After a pause, he sighed again: "Speaking of which, my foundation strength is too poor, if I have already laid the foundation of Ning Yuan and officially polished the magic power, it will be completely different. ”
"But Wei Hou, you really have to start early!" Wang Cunye finally said.
Riverbank
Standing on the embankment and looking down, I saw the continuous plains outside the city, two thousand hectares of fertile fields and ditches, in which the peasants were busy and green, and faintly saw a piece of field, in the field, there were farmhouses, from the north to the east, until the invisible horizon.
The spring breeze was blowing, Wang Shaoyun looked at it with a melancholy look in his eyes for a moment, and finally sighed, waved his sleeves and walked down the embankment, no longer watching the farmer busy.
Although it is the beginning of spring, but the embankment where the sun is not seen, there is still a little cold, and there is still some snow that refuses to subside as if it is nostalgic for the earth, Wang Shaoyun stepped on it, made a slight sound, and after a while, he saw Wang Shaoyun frowning and pondering, and said to Qian Min: "The servant of the Wei Mansion...... Have you bought it out?"
"Young master, if you have money to make the ghost grind, you will buy it for three hundred taels of silver, and send it over with Wei Hou's hair, and then everything can be planned. Qian Min responded.
Prepared in his heart, Wang Shaoyun's expression was calm, but his face was a little pale, and he said: "That's good, I've been waiting for twenty years, and I'm finally about to get here, it's really emotional!"
Wang Shaoyun said, not happy, but a little bleak.
Qian Min listened to this, only silently followed Wang Shaoyun, and did not speak, but as before, stood firmly behind Wang Shaoyun, although he knew that this act was a great evil and a wide range of involvement, which may be rare in ancient times, but he did not repent at all, since this life was saved by Wang Shaoyun and helped to take revenge, he no longer cares so much.
Wang Shaoyun and the two went back, did not find the carriage for a while, walked two miles to find the carriage, and rode into the city, at this time it was close to dusk, the shops on the street were lined up, and there were many pedestrians coming and going.
"Oh, Childe is back, Li Si, don't you go to bring hot water to soak Childe's feet, and then bring a pair of mille-feuille boots over. The shopkeeper was short and middle-aged, and his voice was very angry, and he saw that Wang Shaoyun was back, and the soles of his shoes were a little wet, so he hurriedly said.
Of course, this is the treatment that Wang Shaoyun has to be generous.
Wang Shaoyun smiled: "Take two pairs...... Your mother-in-law's shoes are good, although they don't look as good as those of the conference society, but they are simple and generous, and they are well-dressed......"
As he spoke, he saw the guy in the store calling hot water, and both of them soaked their feet that were a little frozen.
The shopkeeper smiled: "Childe can take a fancy to the shoes made by my mother-in-law, it is for my face, and when I say goodbye, I will ask my mother-in-law to send two more pairs." ”
As he spoke, he instructed the guys in the store to prepare a dinner party.
At this moment, I saw a servant leading a servant to look left and right, seeing that it was a middle-aged man about forty years old, he saw it and asked, "Are you Mr. Wang Shaoyun?"
Wang Shaoyun frowned slightly: "What's the matter with you?"
At this moment, Qian Min changed his shoes and came over, saw the servant, walked forward quickly, and said to Wang Shaoyun, "Young master, it's your own person!"
Then he said to the servant, "Let us go out and speak!"
The servant also felt that there were many people in the shop, and he was afraid of revealing the relationship, so he followed Qian Min out, and after a few circles, he came to the depths of an alley, which was leaning on a deserted homestead, and there was no one around.
Qian Min asked, "Is the thing in hand?"
Seeing this, the servant looked left and right, took out a strand of hair from his personal pocket, handed it to Qian Min, and said, "It's here, this is the hair I collected on the comb after combing Wei Hou's hair every day." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled hurriedly, rubbed his hands, and said, "I can't be out of the house for a long time, so you can give me half of the silver this time." ”
Qian Min took the strand of hair and smiled weirdly: "Here you go, I can give it to you." ”
Suddenly, the middle-aged servant felt that something was wrong, and he saw a flower in front of him, and a palm grabbed his throat fiercely, and the force was so great that he almost wondered if it was a human being, and he wanted to exclaim, but he couldn't.
With a "bang", his throat was suddenly broken, and the middle-aged servant's head was broken off like a big ball that had lost its support, which was weirdly scary.
When Qian Min saw it, he took out a sack that had been prepared, skillfully loaded the corpse into it, and after a few more steps, he arrived at the pit that had been dug in the abandoned yard and threw it, picked up the shovel and filled the soil, as the soil continued to be filled, the body of the middle-aged servant, together with the sack, was constantly covered until it disappeared from view.
In the second day, in the mansion of the Marquis of Wei, a group of people have just recovered from the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, although there are many unpleasantness, but they are also hidden or forgotten in the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival.
In the palace, two maids waited for Wei Hou to wash and dress, and after a while, the washing was completed, the two maids retreated silently, and two palace people stepped forward and helped Wei Hou to go to the main hall.
There were guards on the way, and they bowed their heads and said to Wei Hou: "Master Hou, today is the first time that all the ministers have come to the palace to visit in Kaichun, and the ministers have all arrived. ”
Wei Hou's eyes were lowered, and he couldn't see his expression, but he nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew, and seeing this, the guards stopped talking.
Entering from the back of the main hall, to the high platform, in the empty hall in the past, has been lined up with ministers, the left and right soldiers and armor are lined up on both sides, and the power is heavy.
The people below all hung their hands, and it wasn't until Wei Hou sat on the chair that many of his subordinates knelt down and shouted, "Meet Wei Hou!"
It's like a small court.
Wei Hou sat on it, raised his hands slightly, and motioned for everyone to get up, and when the palace people saw it, they stepped to the front desk, and shouted loudly at the top of their voices: "All the ministers are flat!"
There was another sound of Suosuo, and the ministers below all got up with thanksgiving, Wei Hou swept over the high platform one by one, and Fan Tongzhi was at the head, and he was silent.
He couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, and said in a deep voice, "It's time to be stunned again, you and Gu go to the folk farming, to set an example for the people in the county, and then the spring hunt, and invite all the ministers to participate." ”
At this point, Wei Hou stood up and looked around, many courtiers all understood, bowed down, and said loudly: "The ministers are willing to go with Wei Hou." ”
Wei Hou narrowed his eyes, nodded, and instructed the palace people: "Go to the two pro-army commanders, arrange for the entourage to escort, and today I will work with the hundred officials in the morning to show the importance of Li Min's farming." ”
When the palace people heard this, they answered yes and immediately retreated to make arrangements.
Every year, the princes of heaven from all over the country have gone down to the land to cultivate with the people, in order to show that they attach importance to the farmers of Limin, especially in the past hundred years, it has become a common practice, and the move of the Marquis of Wei is just a routine act.
In just a moment, the barracks that had already been prepared immediately transferred out of three hundred armor soldiers to escort the hundreds of officials of the Marquis of Wei and rushed out of the main hall.
A group of people and horses left one after another.
