Chapter 336: Inspection
On the outskirts of Chang'an, a village called Lijiazhuang.
Although this is a suburb of Beijing, in the final analysis, in this era, the suburbs of Beijing are no different from ordinary villages. Except for buying things that can be bought in Chang'an City, the rest, such as food, are still basically self-sufficient.
Winter is cold and windy, and it is rare for outsiders to enter the village at this time.
But today is a little unusual.
The sound of the wheels of the carriage sounded indifferently and heavily, causing the people who were chatting at the entrance of the village to look sideways.
When they saw the person clearly, the doubts on everyone's faces suddenly disappeared.
In its place, there was a burst of joy.
"Oh, Lu Horse, it's Lu Horse!"
"Our reborn parents in Lijiazhuang are here, why don't you hurry back and tell those mothers-in-law and aunts in your family, let me prepare some good wine and food!"
"Let's take a walk, let's take the land horse into the house, but don't freeze!"
The men at the entrance of the village stood up suddenly, and many of them had already turned around and went straight home, asking the mother-in-law to cook some food and wine together.
Seeing this, Lu Heng, who had just jumped out of the carriage, hurriedly waved his hand:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm just coming to see the situation, you don't have to be so polite!"
In his life, he is not afraid of encountering horizontal people, nor is he afraid of being threatened by others.
One thing alone.
I'm really afraid of being warmly entertained!
If you want to say that it is hypocritical, then it's okay, if you can't do it, you can shake your face, this Lu Heng is the best at it.
But these villagers really want to entertain themselves, maybe they will really slaughter a New Year pig today because of his coming!
Seeing Lu Heng's resignation, the villagers stopped doing it.
"Don't you look down on these foods in our village? The grass people told you, these poultry are all fed seriously, and many of those distinguished guests in Chang'an are bought and slaughtered from our Zhuangzi! β
"Yes, yes, yes, you put 10,000 hearts, our mother-in-law and aunt have a hand in cooking, and when they get it out, they will definitely make you eat a round belly!"
"Let's go, the master of the horse refuses, let's take him back!"
I don't know who shouted.
In an instant, more than a dozen men at the entrance of the village rushed up at the same time, and rushed to Lu Heng to pass.
And he was directly carried into the village!
Lu Heng's strength is very great, and it can even be called a natural divine power.
But as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and these people directly put him in the air, and he couldn't unload his strength and struggle no matter what.
"Uncle Cheng, are you going to put it here to see the excitement?!"
Lu Heng turned his head to see that there was a black-faced strong man on the side of the carriage, and it was Cheng Yanjin, who came with him to inspect the situation of Zhuangzi.
Cheng Yanjin leaned on the wheels with a smile, not too dirty, just happy.
"How long has it been since you've had a scandal like this? Hahahaha, when I return to the city, the old man will definitely tell the princess and His Royal Highness the prince at this time! β
Lu Heng: Blanching !!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lijiazhuang, a house that is significantly better built than other houses.
Lu Heng sighed.
"Village Chief Li, you really don't need to make it like this, I'm just coming over to see how the situation is, and I'll leave after reading it, you make such a big table, who can finish eating?"
That's right.
Due to the warm hospitality of the villagers, it is still November, but it is still a New Year's atmosphere.
There are those who kill New Year's pigs, those who fish in the cold, and those who slaughter their precious old hens and stew chicken soup.
Numerous.
I was stunned that there were several large tables full of dishes!
Village Chief Li is both the village chief and the patriarch, and in this village, which is almost entirely composed of people surnamed Li, he is the most effective in every way.
But he only smiled and shook his head.
"Master Horse, maybe you don't know how important it is for us to send the first batch of sweet potatoes and potato seedlings to Lijiazhuang for free......
"The villagers are like this, and it's because they love it, otherwise they wouldn't have made it so rich!"
"You can relax and eat, after eating, you can talk about what is not the situation!"
After a piece of advice, Lu Heng really had no choice but to agree.
But at the same time, he also made a request, that is, every time the banquet is held, the whole village has to serve the table. Regardless of men, women, old and young, rich or poor, everyone should sit together and save food from wasting.
When everyone in the village is on the table, it is more like celebrating the New Year in advance.
Lu Heng stabbed Cheng Jin's waist with his elbow: "Uncle Cheng, on this occasion, shouldn't you say something?" β
Cheng Yanjin was surprised: "You kid still know that you want to speak at this time?" That's a rarity! β
Lu Heng was speechless.
Ever since he had been carried into the village just now, this process had become more and more familiar.
Think about it.
Isn't this the scene where the leader came to inspect!
It's already open, so naturally I want to make a speech.
The problem is, he won't!
"You take a hand, can you say this for me?"
Cheng Yanjin: ?
Good boy, I'm going to let myself work for him, right?
He's not a talker, either. I wanted to refuse, but Lu Heng rarely asked him to help after all, and today's situation is the first time that the eldest girl has been in a sedan chair, and it is not appropriate not to help.
So Lao Cheng cleared his throat, stood up, and raised his glass to the hundreds of villagers outside the courtyard.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, this Lu Horse you invited is thin-skinned and doesn't know how to speak, so I'll do it for you!"
"Those polite words, the old man doesn't know how to say much, just a few simple words-"
"First, the seedlings are given to you, so plant them well, and don't spoil such good grain."
"Second, how much money is spent on today's meal, and Lu Horse has been reimbursed together! He's not a door-picker! β
The villagers were stunned at first.
Immediately, everyone burst into laughter.
Lao Cheng said that he couldn't speak, but in fact, his words were still very level. After all, he has been in the court for so many years, he speaks to watch people cook, and in the face of ordinary people who don't know a few big characters, he speaks the truth.
Just the final reimbursement of Lu Kui Ma, everyone has already listened to it very happily!
Lu Heng also smiled and raised a glass to everyone, although it was the weakest wine, it was also a unique taste to drink on this occasion.
In the courtyard, men, women, and children were talking and joking.
The door of the village chief's house was suddenly knocked.
Now everyone in the village is here, and the person knocking on the door is definitely not a villager.
Everyone brushed their heads and looked at the doorβ
It's a bunch of richly dressed and good-looking guys.
Five people with seven surnames!
Moreover, none of them are young juniors, all of them are family elders and talkers!
One of them arched his hand towards Lu Heng and said with a smile: "In Xia Wang Ran, it was so presumptuous and rude to meet for the first time. β
Lu Heng was stunned, and blurted out: "Why do you know that the faux pas are still here, let's go!" β
