Chapter 4 Morning Fireworks

On the second day, early in the morning, the breeze was just right, and the early sun sprinkled gold into the hills.

Dressed in sackcloth, he repairs dilapidated farm tools sent by villagers in the courtyard. Last night, I slept very late. The robbery didn't wake him up.

Outside the courtyard gate, the chickens and dogs barked, the cattle and sheep flocked, the sheep herds and cowherds had to shout and shout to maintain order, it was really a lively scene, seeing the farmers in twos and threes meeting to work in the fields, chatting about the fire last night in the bright morning light.

An old man smoked homemade dry cigarettes, squatted in the corner of the sunny wall and said, "It's really strange, that Li Yuanqian's house has not been inhabited for more than ten years, how can I walk through the water last night?"

The man sitting on the grinding stone next to him pointed to the charred house in the distance and said: "The Li family has purchased a property in Yunzhou, and they can't come back a few times a year, maybe it's a fire caused by disrepair."

The old man said disdainfully, "Hmph... The Li family is not a serious person..."

At this time, a young man came from behind the low wall, and he sat on the wall and interjected: "I heard that Second Brother Li works as a helper in a Yihong Courtyard in Yunzhou Mansion, and he rolls in that rouge pile every day, oops! Just thinking about it, I envy it."

The man sitting on the grinding plate was also warm-hearted, and advised: "You are a bachelor, you know those big-ass girls every day, it's not that I said you, you are a good businessman, and the widow of that village doesn't look at you much." Pick up the wall every day and listen to other gods fighting. You're not ashamed. ”

The young man was not very cold, and the man's words retorted: "Hmph! Have I eaten your rice? My dad can't even control me! Besides, I had already contacted Second Brother Li, and he said that he could help introduce me to a job. I heard that there are fifteen centrifies per month."

The old man took a puff of dry tobacco carefully, slowly inhaled it into the abdominal cavity and exhaled it from his nostrils, and said to the young man with a look of enjoyment: "Yo? I said you worked so hard at night, it turned out that you hooked up with that turtle man? Awesome! ”

The young man went completely violent, and the good time was actually angry with these two idlers: "You! Hmph, you just envy others for gaining a foothold in Yunzhou Mansion. Say these cool things. Haven't you heard? The Yunzhou Academy exam is about to start, and Li Yuanqian's son Li Xiaoling has been allowed to register for the exam, and nine times out of ten he can enter the Yunzhou Academy to learn Confucianism. When I graduate, it will be more than enough to be a county lieutenant. Just say something cool! Let's see who's unlucky."

He was busy working in the courtyard, and when he heard this, he smiled disdainfully.

It is good that the Han Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, but to say that those high-ranking officials who are already at the top of the list are hungry and do not choose to eat, it is too underestimate the dragon emperor's dominating skills.

The Han Dynasty promoted Confucianism, but it also inhibited the development of the academy. They hope that all the smart people in the world will study and learn, and graduate students will die. But certainly not so cheap as to study the boudoir fun.

A person has already borne such an indecent name, Li Xiaoling can't even step into the examination room. Not to mention being a parent official in that place.

He was just a little tired, he pushed open the courtyard door and stretched his waist firmly. looked at the young man and said, "I said Jian Shou, can you think about it when you kid speaks." Do you believe what Li Yuanqian says? Don't let people cheat and help count the money. ”

The old man handed over the dry cigarette and said, "Rob the little heavenly work, take a puff?" My daughter's best tobacco leaves have brought back," he said, and was about to get up.

The robbery was hurriedly stopped, and he said with a smile while waving his hand: "You know that I am not good at this, dealing with sawdust every day." It's really like you, I didn't even know that I ordered myself that day."

The old man sat down with a smile and said to Jian Shou: "Look at the people, he is one or two years younger than you, and the man in our Xiaohuang Village doesn't admire him." If you want me to say the same, your name is unlucky. What is the life loss of Jane Shou? What is the name of the good baby?"

Jian Shou wiped the tip of his nose, not wanting to refute anything. Sometimes the old man does not say anything to belittle himself, to be angry with him and not to pity his misfortune. He glanced at the robbery helplessly, and could only keep silent.

He smiled and said to the old man: "He was born as a son, and his father gave him a name, how can a child dislike the name his father gave him?" Besides, it doesn't mean that."

The big man sitting on the grinding plate nodded and said: "What Xiao Tiangong said is true, a man, leaving an heir, even if there are not a few drops of ink in his stomach, he will think hard about choosing a good name for his son, so as to leave some thoughts for his children." Think about it, just these men in our Xiaohuang Village, in addition to a good name that they can think of, what else can they leave for their own babies. Haha, although Jian Shou is not a good boy, his conduct in our Xiaohuang Village must be in the past. If it weren't for the child's parents who left early, they would definitely not be wrong."

Jian Shou smiled embarrassedly, and the old man also nodded and said: "Old man, I watched this child grow up, he didn't have a family day by day, and I was also awkward in my heart, old man." You all remember how Jian Qingsheng carried me down from the mass grave, right? Hey..."Speaking of this, the old man was a little sad.

Jian Shou jumped off the wall and came to the old man to light the extinguished dry smoke for him: "Don't care too much about the old man, you have helped me a lot over the years, I owe you."

The old man smoked a dry cigarette, nodded and said nothing. Some things are either on the lips or in the bottom of the heart. And some things are clear to outsiders even if they don't say it.

He leaned against the wall, squinting at the increasingly hot and dazzling sun. He closed his eyes comfortably, and the fireworks of this moment washed his already wooden heart.

The sheep and cattle began to move, and the men who had brought their livestock returned one after another, preparing their farming tools for the fields.

The big man turned around and asked the robbery: "Robbery of the little heavenly work, has the plow been repaired?" Today, at the end of the day, wait for an autumn rain. I called it a day this year. ”

He nodded and motioned for the big man to fetch it himself. That Jian Shou also helped the old man to leave.

Ji Ning walked out of the house at this time, his eyes slightly red and swollen. The two brothers seemed to have forgotten what had happened last night, and smiled at each other, all without saying a word.

Zai Feng said to Zai Ning: "I'm going to go to the mass grave again, and I always feel that something is wrong. I won't break my promise to you."

Zai Ning nodded like a little adult, thought about it, and said to Zai Feng: "Today I will leave for Yunzhou Mansion, I won't say too much to my eldest brother, you just need to leave Xiaohuang Village in ten days, you must take care of yourself"

He asked in surprise, "So urgent?" And you're so small, how to get there? ”

Ji Ning rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "I'm a little stubborn, but I'm not a fool!" It was already arranged. If it goes well, by the time the eldest brother leaves Xiaohuang Village, I will already be enrolled in school. ”

He frowned and asked, "What?" Another national teacher? Seeing that Ji Ning nodded, he said in a deep voice: "He really has no last resort."

Ji Ning helplessly spread his hands, pointed to his eyes and said, "Don't worry!" And this one! He didn't dare to mess around. Actually, I had a hunch. However, the eldest brother will definitely be killed, and Cheng Xiang will turn evil into good fortune, that is, "He smiled extraordinarily brightly."

Zai Feng narrowed his eyes, nodded with a smile and affirmed: "Then laugh at the little brother's words." Haha"

He thought for a moment and asked, "Starting from the Leaving Pavilion?" ”

Zai Ning nodded: "Yes, there is a dart game there, and it is not far from us." I've been there several times myself. ”

Thinking of what the second uncle said, he decided to give up exploring the mass grave for the time being. He said to Ah Zhenning: "I will accompany you and invite you to eat braised and boiled fire." Shouldn't it be considered an early act, right? ”

Ji Ning took a serious look at the robbery seal, and didn't say anything, when a group of scalpers happened to pass by. He jumped high and rode on the back of the old ox, who was gentle and walked forward unhurriedly. He said to the robbery: "Big brother, these cattle are going to the vicinity of Bishan, not far from the lower pavilion. By the way, I'm going to eat two bowls of stew. ”

The robbery and the cowherd apologized, and he was a little embarrassed to give up his hand to the cowherd, but the cowherd didn't care much, smiled and continued to drive the herd.

The sun is three poles, and the breeze is just right. The two brothers marched towards the bright sun.
