Chapter 149
Donglin and Deng'er wore a big red flower on their chests, and were pulled by Cheng Fugui and Cheng Linchang to the table to thank them.
The magistrate and the family and Yan Gou were at the same table, he drank two glasses, and said with great relief: "I have been the magistrate of Taiping Town for more than 20 years, and I never thought that you Qingshan Village could show off your talents, and there are two more in this one." ”
Cheng Linsheng smiled: "That's all because Mr. Yan taught him well. Although my family is not angry, Mr. Yan is not bothered, I salute you! ”
Yan Gou took the cup with a smile, and said with a lot of emotion: "If Dongshan is willing to calm down and study hard, next year is very promising." Originally, I thought that there was no hope for this life, but it was Xianghua who brought me here and allowed me to find a new place to use. ”
Xianghua smiled: "I didn't do anything, this school was built at my father's expense." Nowadays, there are so many children in the school, both boys and girls, because everyone has seen the benefits of reading, and everyone has a longer vision. Qingshan Village can become better because everyone has contributed. ”
The magistrate nodded and said, "That's right!" Speaking of Qingshan Village a few years ago, it is really no different from today's Huangni Village and Baishi Village, but if you look at it now, it is really a world of difference. ”
When Xianghua heard him mention this, she said tentatively: "My lord, now that there are no robbers near Baishi Village, Huangni Village can also be governed slowly, and you can't always let it go like this." If these two villages also get better, it will also be a great achievement for adults. ”
Zhixian thought for a while and said distressedly: "I haven't thought of a way, it's just that the people of Baishi Village are lazy and can't help Adou." The Huangni Village is even more terrifying, not to mention what rice is planted, and even the bark on the trees is eaten clean when you are hungry. ”
"Huangni Village is because of the siltation of yellow mud, so the rice cultivation is not viable, and it has become like this over time, right?"
Zhixian nodded: "This is the same as the Red River in your village a few years ago." It would be good when there was a fragrant flower in their village. ”
Xianghua saw that he was half drunk and easy to spit out the truth after drinking, so she asked: "My lord, if our family can contribute money, can you manage Baishi Village and Huangni Village well?" ”
The magistrate smiled: "The people of Huangni Village are diligent, but they just clean up the river sand." But this Baishi Village, how to be good, my master and I haven't thought of a good way. ”
Xianghua thought for a while and said: "The people in Baishi Village are lazy to eat, but they are not like Huangni Village, in my opinion, it just means that the soil there is fertile, and the harvest is good after planting things." Why don't you go and see for yourself, my lord? ”
She thought for a while and said, "Even if the people in the village are lazy, they can always find a tall one among the short ones, so let's focus on supporting those few." Set an example first, and slowly someone will follow. ”
The magistrate nodded as he listened, and drunkenly took something out next to the table.
Xianghua smiled and asked, "What are you looking for?" ”
The magistrate muttered: "Paper and pen, I have to write it down, and I'll forget it later." ”
Xianghua smiled: "No need, I won't forget, when adults want to come to discuss, you can call me." ”
Xianghua talked with Zhixian for a while, and then ate a few more bites of cold vegetables, only to find that Taro was staring at her intently.
"What are you doing?" She asked him with wide eyes.
Taro smiled bitterly and said, "You're worrying more and more." ”
Xianghua sighed and said, "It's not spring to be alone. This Huangni Village and Baishi Village are not hopeless, everyone has a good life, who wants to do evil? ”
Taro smiled: "Donglin's knowledge is strictly structured to teach, and it is better for you to learn anything else." ”
Xianghua also smiled: "I don't know much about your economics, but you can say whatever comes to mind, and you can still do it when you come up with ideas." ”
As the two were saying this, Zhao Lei walked over, looking like he had something to say.
"Xianghua girl, Zhao has lived here for many days, thanks to your family for taking care of you. Now that my injuries have healed, I will go back soon, so I have come to say goodbye. ”
Xianghua was surprised: "Did General Zhao send the letter?" ”
Zhao Lei nodded: "Recently, the Xiongnu have moved again, and the border needs to be garrisoned. ”
When he said this, he glanced at the taro, but the taro ignored it.
Xianghua said: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to keep Counselor Zhao." I'll pack up some things tomorrow, the dried fruits and dried meat in the mountains are good, I'll put some more on it for you." ”
Zhao Lei didn't talk about hypocrisy, and hugged his fists and said: "Then Zhao Mou thank you Xianghua girl first!" ”
After he finished talking to Xianghua, he went to Cheng Linchang to say goodbye.
Xianghua sat back in her seat and said, "The Huns are always thieves, are they just going to be demons, how should this be?" ”
Taro snorted and said: "The Huns are just a group of barbarians, and with General Zhao guarding them, they naturally can't attack them." But they come to harass from time to time, which will lower the vigilance of the soldiers, and General Zhao noticed this, so he adjusted the rotation to keep everyone on guard. ”
Xianghua nodded and asked in a low voice, "This is what General Zhao told you?" ”
Taro didn't hide it from her and nodded.
"The Huns are so scoundrels, has General Zhao thought of any other way?"
Taro said: "Not for nothing. In the past, when the Huns came to attack, they all ran away. General Zhao once wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the outside country is barbaric, it is the territory of the Xiongnu, and we have not got a complete map so far, and it is easy to fall into the trap, so we have not been able to pursue. ”
"We don't have any great work, spies or anything?"
Taro smiled helplessly: "Naturally, there are too." It's just that a few years ago, something went wrong, and a batch of powerful fine works were all poisoned, and our side wants to regain its strength, and we won't be able to get the map for a while. ”
Xianghua suddenly realized, and suddenly asked: "By the way, why did Zhao Shen look at you when he resigned in the future?" ”
Taro's expression froze, and he didn't speak for a while.
Xianghua stared at him curiously, waiting for him to reply.
"Although I didn't worship him as a teacher, but he taught me for so long, goodbye is not a day, so I naturally want to make an appointment to talk for a night tonight."
He said this bluntly, and there were many loopholes when he thought about it, but Xianghua just looked at him for a while, and let out a faint sigh.
"Okay, then you drink less and be careful on the way back."
Taro answered, wanting to say something more to Xianghua, but he felt that there was no way to talk about it, so he could only press it in his heart for the time being.
That night, Taro really came to Zhao Lei with a wine jug, and Zhao Lei was also waiting for him in the courtyard, along with Cheng Tiezhu.
"I'm waiting for you, I thought you wouldn't come." Cheng Tiezhu grinned.
Zhao Lei said: "Have you explained it clearly?" ”
Taro stuffed the jug into an iron pillar, lowered his eyes and did not speak.
Cheng Tiezhu said: "Look at his appearance, it's clear that he can't say it." I said taro, you practice martial arts on weekdays, but you are a tiger and a tiger, how can you say that you want to die? ”
