Chapter 5 The worried Liu Dayuan
I have to say that the level of craftsmen in the Great Xia Dynasty was really strong, and just one day later, the first batch of cocoon carts and quyuan plows had been produced and put into use.
These two kinds of agricultural killers have won unanimous praise from the military town in the shortest possible time, and now the master craftsmen in the army are working day and night.
So Zhang Peng, the county horse, once again brushed a wave of prestige, from the general to the sergeant, when he saw the county lord, he would praise with a sentence "The county lord, you really have vision, the county master is really a heavenly man"!
Xu Wanyi originally wanted to inspect the sowing work with great interest, but she turned back to the county lord's mansion without walking around, and there was no way, her ears could hear the calluses coming.
"What's wrong with the county lord?" The general who came from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate put his hot face on his cold buttocks, and asked Jian Ping, the sword-wielding maid who followed the county lord, inexplicably, "I'm not wrong about anything, right?" ”
Brother, your path is narrow.
Jian Ping looked at Xu Wanyi, who went straight to the school with complicated eyes, and whispered: "General Su, in the future, in front of the county lord, don't praise the county horse!" ”
After speaking, she quickly followed Xu Wanyi, she knew that Xu Wanyi wanted to practice martial arts to vent her anger.
The general hurriedly caught up, and guessed in his heart: Isn't it that the county lord and the county master have an awkward quarrel? Okay, I get the idea of what to say......
Not to mention how Xu Wanyi's mood is, Zhang Peng, who is far away in the Xihu living area of Beiting City, is even more unhappy.
It's been a whole day, and since yesterday he has visited more than a dozen Hu people's houses according to the customer information provided by Old Hennis, but he still hasn't found Hu people with pumpkin seeds.
This made the county master fall into self-doubt, could it be that I remembered wrong? Is the origin of pumpkins not South Asia or the Americas? Damn the Americas, why are all those highest-yielding crops there?
Thinking of the difficulty of obtaining potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and other crops, Zhang Peng was a little discouraged, and single-handedly advanced the Age of Discovery by eight centuries?
Hehe, Dr. Zhang, you dare to think about it.
Gao Gao looked at Zhang Peng, who was sitting at the roadside stall and eating melons in despair, he had something to say, but he was afraid of being beaten, he had just been beaten by the county lord and Mr. Qin yesterday, which made him feel a little palpitating.
"Why? Looking constipated? Zhang Peng stuffed the half-eaten melon into Gouda's hand, and he had just adjusted his mentality with half a melon.
"Uncle, I want to say, why do you only look for Hu people?" Gao Da was not interested in the melons that Zhang Peng had gnawed, but said what was in his heart, "There are many Great Xia merchants in the city who have Hu maids and Hu Ji in their homes. ”
A word woke up the dreamer, Zhang Peng patted his head, and then slapped his hands on Gundam's shoulders, "Hahaha, Gundam, you are really my lucky star, they all say that bystanders are clear, the ancients don't deceive me, go, follow me!" ”
After speaking, Zhang Peng rushed towards the east of the city, leaving only Gundam with half a melon in his hand standing in front of the melon and fruit stall of the Hu people, touching the blanket and having no money.
So later in the day, a jaw-dropping strange thing appeared in Beiting City:
Liu Dayuan, a porcelain merchant, is an elegant person, likes to cook tea and touch the piano, likes to drink and compose poems, but he does not like to fight and kill, and came to this windy and sandy land to do business because of the exclusion of his two brothers in the family.
A few days ago, when Beiting City was in crisis, he was one of the few people who did not donate money and property in the whole process, because he escaped alone, and there was a secret passage in his backyard that led directly to the outside of Beiting City.
Unexpectedly, the crisis in Beiting City was dramatically resolved, and he finally couldn't let go of his hard-earned belongings, and came back trembling.
Just when he was ready to be reprimanded and blackmailed by the Metropolitan Protectorate, he learned that now all the soldiers and civilians in Beiting were busy planting green seedlings, and they had no time to take care of him.
When he was overjoyed, he had to drink two cups every day, for example, at noon today, he held a banquet in the backyard, invited a distinguished guest, and called all his fox friends and dogs over to accompany him!
In order to cover the secret passage in the backyard, he has been hiring Hu people to plant exotic flowers and plants in the backyard, the scenery is very pleasant, plus the orchid dancers specially raised in the house, in this Beiting City, who doesn't praise him Liu Dayuan is an elegant person.
"Come on, Zhao join the army, have another drink," Liu Dayuan piled up a smile on his face and toasted a glass of wine to the distinguished guests seat.
Zhao Shenjun was still slightly drunk at this time, staring at the Western Regions dance in the courtyard full of exotic flowers and plants with bright eyes, still confused.
When Liu Dayuan saw Zhao joining the army, he was disdainful in his heart, phew, the second ancestor of Jiangmen who was vulgar and unbearable!
If it weren't for your family's request, you, the right member of the army, would also be worthy of drinking at the same table with an elegant person like me?
But he still had a smile on his face: "Zhao joined the army, I heard that the ordnance Sima Shang is about to develop a hand-pushed wheelbarrow, hahaha, I don't know if the villain can buy some." ”
Zhao Senjun was upset when he heard the wheelbarrow, he himself was a gentleman who walked in Chang'an City, and he didn't know the skills of craftsmen at all, and this time he came to Beiting to be completely gilded.
As a result, Zhang Peng's roll of drawings made his true form exposed, and among the three groups of workshops that started at the same time, only the one he was responsible for was the slowest in progress, and he was named and held accountable when Zhang Peng inspected the work, so he was scolded a lot by his boss and fined him for half a year.
It's just a little son-in-law, and he dares not to put his meritorious children in his eyes with a little tricky skills!
"Just wait, there will be your share when the time comes," Zhao Senjun drank a glass of wine angrily and said irritably, "It's just a trick and a trick, I really don't know what you people are eager for." ”
"Yes, yes, the villain is a vulgar person, he will only crawl in the smell of copper, don't be like the villain," Liu Dayuan nodded yes.
At this moment, when Zhao Senjun had already begun to look for the target of tonight's anger among the orchids on the dance floor, he suddenly saw a bearded woman walking through the flowers and grass!
The woman did not wear heavy makeup, long dark brown hair, wheat-colored skin, a white silk headscarf half-concealed her delicate face, a tight long-sleeved blouse with red and white prints and white Persian culottes, which made her look fresh and refined, she was squatting at the moment to arrange the flowers and plants, and she didn't notice that a certain hungry ghost in the color had already set her eyes on her.
"Why doesn't that orchid dance?" Zhao Senjun questioned Liu Dayuan, and he was very dissatisfied and felt that he was offended.
"She, she's not the dancing girl in the house, she's the daughter of the Hu Ren gardener I hired," Liu Dayuan recognized, and then explained with a smile.
"It's just a Hu girl, give me more money, and tonight, let her sleep," Zhao Senjun looked at the gardener Hu Nu with straight eyes, and his tone was full of disapproval.
"This, this, this is not appropriate," Liu Dayuan immediately sweated profusely, other Hu girls are nothing, spending a few more money, but this Hu girl knows the secret of her own backyard, in case she leaks the secret to the surnamed Zhao, then he will be finished!
"That's it, right and left, take her," he said, getting up and calling his guard, and walked straight towards Hu Nu.
Liu Dayuan watched Zhao Shenjun and his guards forcibly grab the struggling Hu Nu to the guest room, cold sweat directly covered his forehead, and he didn't know what to do for a while, what is going on!
In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided that it was important to save his life, and he couldn't control it so much, and if he wanted to blame it, the life of the surnamed Zhao was not good.
I saw that he sprinkled a small bottle of medicinal powder in Zhao Senjun's wine glass without a trace, and then caught up with Zhao Senjun, and respectfully offered the wine: "Zhao Senjun Yaxing tonight, don't forget the villain's entrustment." ”
"Got it, got it," Zhao joined the army and drank the wine glass casually, and then laughed heartily, no matter how the Hu Nu struggled and screamed behind him, he was already interested at the moment, because after a close observation, this Hu Nu was still a chick.
And Liu Dayuan just stood aside and watched, completely ignoring Hu Nu's crying and plea for help.
At this moment, the door of Liu's Mansion was suddenly broken open with a "bang", and then a group of foot soldiers in armor rushed in, looking murderous and violent.
The people who feasted and drank in the backyard hugged each other in horror, Hu Ren Wuji and Hu Ren musicians scattered, while Liu Dayuan and Zhao Senjun woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Dayuan: It's over, it must be the secret passage in my backyard that has been revealed!
Zhao Senjun: It's over, it must be my fake public and private affairs that have been exposed!
