Chapter 145: Here comes the nobleman
Ruixue Mega Year!
Shangyang City ushered in a heavy snowfall.
This was the first heavy snow in Shangyang City after the New Dynasty.
Only a few years after the establishment of the new dynasty, the emperor of the dynasty was sympathetic to the people and paid extremely low taxes, which made the people have a lot of surplus food at home, especially a notice posted by the government not long ago.
Wherever it snows, agricultural tax is exempted.
This news made the people cheer, so even in the bitterly cold winter, there were many pedestrians on the streets who were busy buying New Year's goods.
Children in twos and threes shuttled through the streets, holding rock sugar gourds, playing and playing.
The New Year is approaching, and red lanterns have begun to be hung in conditional homes, and when Lin Ye got up early in the morning, he saw that the gate of his house and the front and back yard beams were hung up.
Uncle Xu was holding a red lantern, and a young man was carrying a wooden ladder, and when they saw Lin Ye, the two stopped.
"Childe woke up?"
"Yes, Brother Zhen is also there."
"Childe, how can you call it that, but it's out of order."
"What's the mess, Brother Zhen is a few years older than me, it's normal to call me brother."
Lin Ye smiled and looked at the somewhat shy man.
The young man is the son of Uncle Xu, who is twenty-five years old this year, which may be the age when he has just begun to struggle, but in ancient times, he had already started a family.
Uncle Xu is such a son, as early as three years ago, Aunt Ge told him about a family matter, the woman was the daughter of the blacksmith shop in the city, and Lin Ye also gave a big red envelope at that time.
As a result, the next day, Uncle Xu brought the newlyweds to the door to thank him, and saw that the two people who were about the same age as him wanted to kneel down and kowtow to themselves for tea, but he hurriedly stopped him, which felt very awkward.
Long before Xu Zhen married his wife, Lin Ye hinted to Uncle Xu that if there were few people in the family who were too busy, he could recruit a few more people, but Uncle Xu refused.
In Uncle Xu's words, I took such a high amount of money from my son, but I did very little work, I was already ashamed, and I was not guilty of conscience if I came again?
Lin Ye could only go with Uncle Xu in the end.
Seeing Uncle Xu's son, I don't know why Lin Ye's mind is full of young master Yu Runtu, probably because he has seen too many works of Mr. Lu Xun.
“
Xu Bo explained the situation: "It just snowed, and the dead branches of many trees were crushed, so I brought him to help clean up these dead branches. ”
"Is the blacksmith busy?"
Lin Ye knew that Xu Zhen was learning to make iron in the blacksmith shop with his father-in-law.
Xu Zhen replied shyly: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and my father-in-law has already turned off the furnace, and he will not open the furnace until after fifteen." ”
"Extinguishing the furnace?" Lin Ye was a little curious and asked, "Didn't you say that the furnace in the blacksmith shop can't be extinguished?" ”
Lin Ye, the traditional blacksmith shop, also knows that no matter whether there is work or not, the fire can never be extinguished, and it is very unlucky to extinguish the fire.
"My father-in-law worshiped the ancestor and set up a flame-out banquet, so it's okay." Xu Zhen explained.
"Flame-outing feast?"
"It is to invite the people who have bought the iron tools in the shop to come to the feast, and then each guest scoops a scoop of water into the stove to extinguish the live of the stove, so that the ancestor will not blame."
"And this kind of operation, it must be very lively."
"Well, my father-in-law set up a full ten tables, also to thank everyone for their support to the business of the shop this year, if the young master wants to see the excitement, wait until the fifteenth opening banquet, it will be even more lively."
Lin Ye: ......
He suddenly had a kind of chat, and it really became a chat between the young master and Runtu.
After chatting with the Xu family's father and son, Lin Ye was not in a hurry to return to the real world, but decided to go out for a walk.
Compared with the modern snow scene, this ancient snow day is very interesting.
Dressed in purple hair, Lin Ye walked on the snowy streets, but he saw acquaintances.
"Yang Zhutou, why did you come out to clear the snow in person?"
"It's Lin Gongzi."
Yang Zhutou, who was wearing a hat felt, looked up and saw Lin Ye dressed as a noble son, and he was also surprised in his heart, after a few years, Lin Gongzi has not changed at all.
In the past few years, the whole city has known Lin Gongzi, the first beautiful man in Shangyang City, and the object of Sichun among many girls in the city, among them, there are also official media who come to the door to match the official eunuchs and daughters of big families in the city, but they are all rejected by Lin Gongzi.
I don't know what kind of immortal should be worthy of Lin Gongzi.
"Lin Gongzi, you are not an outsider, I will tell you a news, it is said that a big man is coming to our county seat in the near future, and the county master ordered all of us to go out to clean the streets."
"Big shots?"
"Yes, it is said that it has something to do with our Shangyang City, anyway, I don't know which noble it is, in a few years of this new dynasty, I can still know a name for the adults in the county, and I don't know any of them when I leave Canglan County." Anyway, the county magistrate told us to do this, lest the nobles come, and if the snow blocks the way, it will be a big crime. ”
"Yang Zhutou, then your way of sweeping the road is wrong, you only sweep your face, the snow in front of this person's house has not been swept, when the noble person comes, I guess I won't be happy to see it."
"That seems to be the case, but you're going to let us go and clear the snow in front of these people's houses?"
Yang Zhutou was a little embarrassed, although he was not an official, he was also an official, and he couldn't let go of this figure.
"If you want me to see it, you will make a suggestion to the county magistrate, let the county magistrate pay a sum of money, and then let the people clean up by themselves, let the people sweep the snow on the streets, if the nobles come to see the people doing it so hotly, it will definitely be stronger than the current effect."
Yang Zhutou had a thoughtful look on his face, although he had never been an official, he also knew that people like the county lord who were officials liked to watch this kind of scene the most.
Call...... What is it called, the Haiyan River is clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"It was Lin Gongzi who reminded me, so I went to the county magistrate to suggest that Lin Gongzi can go to the yamen to drink tea when he is free, I just got a good pot of tea recently."
"It's unlucky to go to the yamen for tea."
When Lin Ye saw Yang Zhutou's puzzled eyes, he remembered that people in the other world didn't know the stalk of drinking tea.
"It's better to wait for Yang Zhutou to be free, I'll do the east, the old place."
"Okay, Lin Gongzi is arrogant."
Yang Zhutou didn't say anything polite to Lin Ye, he knew that Lin Ye was rich, and the entire Shangyang City knew that Lin Gongzi was rich, not to mention that he was generous, as far as Xu Bo, the housekeeper of Lin Gongzi's family, took several times more money every month than his head catcher.
If it weren't for some oil and water, he would have wanted to be cheeky and tell Lin Gongzi that there was still a shortage of housekeepers at home.
Just when Lin Ye was about to say goodbye, he saw a group of yamen catchers hurrying over with a man in official uniform.
"Your Excellency is here, come and greet your adult with me."
The man in the official uniform walked past Yang Zhutou, his footsteps did not stop, and after dropping this sentence, he hurriedly continued to move forward, Yang Zhutou gave Lin Ye an apologetic look and hurriedly followed, and Lin Ye was originally about to leave, but he was also aroused by curiosity all of a sudden.
In this small place in Shangyang County, what nobles can come?
