"Who thinks of big dreams, I know it in my life, I take a nap in the summer of the plum house, and the day outside the window is delayed...... Interesting. ”

By the windowsill of the study, the little girl in plum blossom makeup who leaned into the room with her upper body nodded, her pretty face thoughtful.

"Come back quickly, Lianghanxian's nephew's study can't be entered, if he comes back and sees it, it's not good, we are guests, we are not allowed to lose the etiquette of going to the door."

Behind Li'er, a serious voice came from Li'er.

"I didn't enter the house, he opened the window by himself, and it was reasonable to pass by and take a look."

Almost all of Bao'er's upper body leaned into the window, looked at a pair of casual calligraphy on Ouyang Rong's desk, and under the veil, his pink lips opened lightly, and he said.

At this moment, feeling the sights behind her, the little girl in plum blossom makeup turned around lightly and jumped down, lowered her eyebrows, and muttered in a low voice:

"Okay. Father and mother have been full of Ouyang Lianghan recently, and they are closer than their own sons, and their daughters and brothers have become outsiders. ”

"Sister, Lianghan has been ignoring us, maybe it's because we got along in the past, and we were rude invisibly, I also think Father is right, let's wait outside, don't be rude."

Lida Lang interjected worriedly.

Leaving the Wrap: "......"

Okay, okay, you do the same, right?

The little girl who had already deeply experienced the taste of "outsider" before she got married said unhappily:

"What if he did it on purpose? Now I don't know where to be happy outside with my sister of the Xie family, deliberately hanging us.

"Hmph, it's not so difficult to invite the thatched cottage three times, there is no shade in the yard, this big sun, what should I do if I get heat stroke, you wait."

Leaving the wrapping face, he turned around and left the Merlin courtyard.

When everyone in the courtyard saw this, they stopped talking, and their faces were sad.

But after a while, I saw the figure of the little girl in the veil reappear at the gate of the courtyard.

Libao'er returned with a maid ribbon and a parasol in his hand.

She stepped forward and handed an umbrella to Lida Lang beside her angrily, and she silently held up a parasol by herself, standing beside Wei Mei, and shaded the sun together.

Lixian turned his head, smiled with relief, and said goodbye to Bao'er, not looking at them.

In the middle of summer, Meilin Courtyard.

Under the sun at noon, four people from home, standing in the court, sweating from their temples, silently waiting for someone.

In front of the four people, there is a food box, the food box is sealed, and there is a faint ice mist and cold air coming out of it, which seems to be a delicious and cool thing to cool off the heat.

However, the sweaty four people who left home did not move at all.

Instead, he carefully guarded them, and from time to time asked people to go to the cellar to fetch new ice.

Seeing this, the maids and servants of Merlot Park around them wanted to come forward to help, but they were all refused.

At a certain moment, Lixian wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, looked up at the scorching sun, and couldn't help sighing:

"Hey, a few days ago, Liang Hanxian's nephew was busy with official business, and it was normal, but today he was off, why wasn't he at home, could it be that the county government had an emergency?"

This middle-aged scribe, who is "not a rich man", has a sad face.

For ten consecutive years, Ouyang Rong was kindly invited to leave the house for dinner every day, and when he got to the back, even he and his wife Wei Mei came over in person every day, sometimes even waiting for half a day.

It's a pity that every time I was politely rejected by a young county magistrate.

Obviously, Merlot Garden has no maids and servants to take care of at the moment, and Ouyang Rong's food, clothing, and daily life are all handled by one person.

But he just didn't go to the house next door with fine clothes and food and warm hospitality.

The Meilin Courtyard, which is connected to the shortcut to the back house, has been stepped on by an endless stream of people leaving the house these days, and it is no longer barren.

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water seems to be ruthless.

Ouyang Rong is polite and polite every time, but please don't leave the house.

These days, the gray hair on the forehead is visible to the naked eye.

Today, they found out that it was the county government's day off.

I also heard from Xie Xiaoniang that Ouyang Rong should be resting at home, and Xie Xiaoniang went to look for him in the morning.

But just after the early morning, in the morning of the early sun, Lixian, Lidalang, Libaoer, and Wei Mei each prepared a food to relieve the heat and hurried over.

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang were gone, and they didn't know where to go.

In fact, there is a saying from Bao'er, it is not so difficult to invite three visits to the thatched house......

What's more, no matter how bad they are, they are also members of the royal family.

Although he was degraded, the identity of Taizong's heir, in this era when the imperial examination was just starting and he still attached great importance to the bloodline of the family, was also a golden signboard.

There is a way that Emperor Taizong really has a long strategy, and he earns all the heroes in vain, no matter what Ouyang Lianghan says, he also relies on the imperial examination to enter the office.

In terms of the blessings that the world paid attention to in the past, the gentleman's Ze, the fifth generation and the beheading, the first and the present are far from the fifth generation, including Ouyang Lianghan's Nanlong Ouyang clan and other cold families in the world, how to say that they also inherited the shade of Taizong.

According to secular requirements, the heirs of Taizong must be more or less politely respected.

It is estimated that this is also the reason why Libao'er, who has always been proud and high, just waited a little unpleasantly in the yard and under the poisonous sun.

However, the departure, Dalang, and Wei Mei who were with her did not have the slightest unhappiness.

Instead, I introspect and ponder whether there is something wrong with what I have done, and wait cautiously and humbly.

"Qilang relaxes, it may be that Lianghanxian's nephew has something unexpected to deal with."

Wei Mei patted the back of her husband's hand, who had a sincere and frightened expression, and comforted him:

"After so many years of hardship, I have survived, and it is not bad at this time, the concubine always feels that Lianghan and his nephew are people who are particular about things and clear about things, and many things are for a reason."

Hearing this, Li'er pursed her lower lip, lowered her eyes and quietly reflected on whether she had offended Ouyang Lianghan before.

Does it matter if he often quarrels with his little sister? But Sister Xie doesn't seem to be making a small report......

"Father, mother, the child went out to find Lianghan."

Li Dalang suddenly spoke, stood up and said:

"You rest here, Ah Mei take care of my father and mother, and be careful of heat stroke."

The runaway man handed the umbrella to the maid, picked up a food box, and turned around and left the Merlin courtyard.

Li'er raised his heels, but he politely refused.

Everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but watch his back go away.

Leaving Da Lang with a food box, he went to Longcheng County for the first time, and found that there was no one, he looked around, turned around and walked towards the outskirts of the city.

Along the way, Li Dalang was surprised to find that all parts of the county have become a little different.

Compared with the county seat where the Liu family was still in front of the Folding Wing Canal, Longcheng County at this moment is full of vitality.

Many closed shops have reopened, and abandoned buildings affected by the flood are being rebuilt.

The sword shop, fertile land, house, and the property of the Liu family on the west bank were all collected by the county government, or auctioned off, or returned to the people who were forcibly seized at the beginning.

The Liu family, who has always been the largest landlord in Longcheng, has all the thousands of acres of fertile land owned by the county government.

On the way from Dalang, I saw many county government clerks registering fields and rebuilding them on the streets and streets, going door to door.

Having lost the Liu family, the big landlord who took the lead, the other squires were well-behaved and honest, and obediently cooperated with the county government's Juntian Law Census.

The prefectural government, which has regained its reserve of fertile land, seems to be resuming the method of equalizing land and allocating land to new households.

If this kind of "reform" had been put in place, the obstruction and backlash would have been enough to make it easy for a county magistrate to step down.

And now, in front of the young county magistrate who brought down the prestige of Liu and the hearts of the people of the city, he is like a local chicken and a dog, tearing down and rebuilding, easy but not easy.

People on the streets talk about it.

Everything is thriving.

When he came to the outside of the city, he saw that the twenty-four disaster relief camps had been completely removed.

Also, the people of the city no longer have to worry about floods, and a broken wing canal has completely changed the thousand-year-old internal worries of Longcheng County and made up for the shortcomings.

This is simply incalculable for the change of the county's position in the Jiangzhou boundary.

And the most visible change is that there are many strangers inside and outside the county.

They are all businessmen and tourists from other places.

The original Butterfly Creek and a Penglang Ferry could not carry such a large passenger flow.

If Dalang is not mistaken, they should all be from the new ferry port of the Folding Wing Canal outside the city, and a large number of people poured into the county seat.

Butterfly Creek is located between Yunmeng Daze and the Yangtze River, and it is the only passage, but it was winding and difficult to pass before.

At present, the Folding Wing Canal is not only a water conservancy construction that cures floods.

It has also become a shortcut to water transportation.

Part of the passenger flow of the mighty Yangtze River was intercepted.

For a small remote county town between poor mountains and bad waters, the business dividends brought by this are incalculable.

The word prosperity is showing up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

And at present, the new canal has been built, but at both ends of the new canal, the new ferry port containing huge business opportunities has not yet been completely built.

More than a dozen large grain merchants such as Wang Caozhi and Wang Caozhi in Longcheng County can't wait to throw a huge amount of money into it to start construction.

It is estimated that Wang Caozhi and other grain merchants who have invested in shares never imagined that the Folding Wing Canal that Ouyang Rong urged the construction of would be so effective after it was completed and put into operation.

It is not exaggerated, or even understated.

No, what you said is all true, isn't it painting cakes?

The establishment of the new ferry port has generated a large demand for workers and stones, which has stimulated the economy of Longcheng County, which is the nearest one.

Even, from Dalang, he saw a lot of young and strong people from several surrounding counties, rushing to beg for a living.

Inside and outside the county, there is a lot of heat.

This is the most intuitive feeling when going out of the city.

"The merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future...... Lianghan Zhenguoshi also. Lida Lang muttered.

He looked at the winged canal in the distance, as if he was infected, and he couldn't help but feel a little more energetic.

This winged canal, like a strong plan with minimal side effects, will inevitably bring new prosperity to Longcheng County.

Li Dalang thinks from the bottom of his heart that Lianghan's achievements in water control cannot be exaggerated.

Only when you see it with your own eyes can you know what it means to change the world.

And these vibrant grassroots scenes can only be witnessed when they walk out of the rich and quiet Luming Street.

Lidalang, who hadn't gone out for a long time, sighed:

"It turns out that Lianghan has been going out early and returning late recently, and he is busy with these important things, perhaps, in Lianghan's eyes, these things at the moment are more meaningful than the rise and fall of our family and the private plans of the portal, no wonder they are postponed."

He carried the food box in his hand and made a guess, his face was happy and sad.

But for some reason, such a speculative explanation will obviously make people feel neglected and ignored, but Dalang's mood is happy for no reason.

Looking around from Da Lang, he suddenly wanted to see Liang Han more and more.

Where will he go?

On the way, he was unfamiliar with him, and honestly asked pedestrians for directions, and after half an hour, he took the lead in coming to Liu Ashan's residence on the outskirts of the city.

Walking into a house with a simple feeling, Li Dalang saw the slender and pitiful Ah Qing, and the bedridden and unconscious Liu Mu.

In addition, he saw a strange young woman, dressed in filial piety clothes, taking care of the old woman at the bedside, as if she was Ashan's widow.

Leave Da Lang and greet him.

Ah Qing hurriedly entertained him, but here, he didn't see the guessed figure of Ouyang Rong from Dalang.

"Brother Lianghan is not here?" He asked.

"The lord has never been here." She replied with a bowed head.

Li Dalang found that this A-Qing girl had a pair of delicate eyes, and her expression was a little complicated.

Lida Lang was about to say goodbye and leave, and as soon as he walked to the door, his face was stunned, and he saw Yan Liulang and others dressed in casual clothes.

The latter was leading a group of men into the hospital, carrying medicinal herbs, rice bags, furniture and other things, and everyone was followed by an elderly doctor with a serious expression, carrying a small medicine box.

After Yan Liulang approached, he noticed the figure of Da Lang, looked up and asked:

"Why is Da Lang here? Are you here to visit A-Qing? ”

Li Dalang nodded, and couldn't help asking: "Does Liulang know where Brother Lianghan is?" ”

Yan Liulang was silent for a while, and glanced at the A-Qing family house behind Da Lang.

"Da Lang wait a minute, I'll settle down here and take you there."

Leaving Da Lang's head, he waited patiently, during which he looked back curiously.

I saw that in the house, the blue-clothed head catcher and his party put down the various daily necessities sent properly in the anxious wave of A-Qing's little face and refused.

They went to visit Liu's mother on the sickbed again, introduced the Lang Zhong they brought behind them, and then whispered a few words to Ah Qing, who bowed his head and wiped his tears, before leaving slowly, leaving two people to take care of him before leaving.

"Let's go, no accident, the Ming Mansion should be there."

Yan Liulang passed by Da Lang's side and walked ahead to lead the way.

"Where?" Li Da Lang glanced back at the direction of the new canal, and was curious: "Isn't it on the other side of the Folding Wing Canal, there is no other person here, and I am still going to look for him there." ”

Yan Liulang shook his head and led the way in silence.

When Da Lang found out that he was rushing in the direction of the county seat, his face became more and more curious, and he first asked:

"How is Aqing's family now, what's going on with Mother Liu?"

Yan Liulang sighed and said:

"On the fifteenth day of July, I was stimulated to faint, and during this time, I also woke up from time to time, but when I woke up, I was confused and talked nonsense, and even thought that Brother Ahsan was still there, saying that I wanted to see him......

"After the doctor's examination, he said that the person was fine, but warned us not to tell the old woman about Ashan, as it might lead to fire and lungs, which was not good for the old man...... So everyone, including Miss Aqing, didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't even mention the funeral. ”

Leaving Da Lang to speak, he stopped: "Listen to Miss Aqing, why didn't Lianghan come to visit?" ”

Yan Liulang whispered: "On the fifteenth day, before the Ming Mansion went to rescue the Ahsan brothers, he swore in front of Liu's mother and Ah Qing that he would not bring Ah Shan back, and he would have no shame to see them......

"During this time, the Ming Mansion told us every day to come and take care of us, obviously busy with official business, but he asked every day, and always didn't come by himself.

"The other county government affairs, the Ming Mansion all made decisions on the spot, but the matter of the Ahshan family, he paced and wandered in the public court, and the orders paused and paused......

"Let's go, rest today, there is no need to be on duty, the Ming Mansion can finally rest for a day, and it should be going there again."

It was quiet when he was away from Da Lang.

Ohqing, following Yan Liulang all the way, he suddenly found that he had crossed the river and came to the Guyue Sword Shop on the west bank of Butterfly Creek.

When I came to a quaint high platform, I was in the shade of the tree below the high platform, and I saw the beautiful figure of Miss Xie holding a sword.

Seeing the arrival of Li Dalang and Yan Liulang, Xie Lingjiang did not speak, but simply glanced at the food box that the former was carrying, and she calmly turned her head to look back.

Lida Lang followed her movements and looked up.

Finally, on the quaint high platform above, I saw a familiar slender back.

Under the sun, Ouyang Rong sat casually on the ground, surrounded by seven or eight dark-skinned old craftsmen, sitting around him, smoking dry cigarettes and talking from time to time.

The young county magistrate tilted his head, as if listening to something, and the river wind blew his jet-black sideburns one after another.

I slept stupidly on the couch for eleven hours...... Oh, there's more! But the brothers slept first and woke up!
