Chapter 176: River God Sacrifice, Appropriate
The door is bustling with activity, competing to deliver good news.
The people in the courtyard kept shuttling.
"Put the boxes in the east wing and build them."
"The porcelain is separated, the plate and jar are taken over there, and the tea set is placed in the study on the north side of the second courtyard."
"Lord Liang, where is this screen? Study? ”
Screen?
Liang Qu glanced up and down, fixed on the palm-sized seat screen in the interrogator's hand, with a marble inserted in the middle.
It turned out to be an inkstone.
It is specially placed in front of the inkstone to block the wind, so that the ink dries more slowly.
It's all belongings.
Why do you always say that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the rich and noble have just something, don't say it, I've never seen it, and it's worth a lot of money to take it out.
"Aunt Zhang, please do me a favor, you take them to the study."
The Sanjin courtyard is not small, and there are no orders and they dare not break in at will.
"Ah Xing, don't be sloppy, go to Pingyang County for me, and tell my master that I got the title by the method I used to study last time, don't be wrong, it's a big knight!"
Liang Qu came to the stable and shouted to the little groom who was doing the grass.
Fan Xinglai, a thirteen-year-old boy, helps him manage the stables, feed Chishan, and also clean the yard and run errands.
His father, Fan Xianfa, is a groom in Yang's Mansion, and going to Yang's Mansion is familiar to him.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Wait, this one is for you." Liang Qu took out two small bills from his arms, "Go by yourself, faster." ”
"Master Liang, you don't need so many board cars."
Fan Xinglai pinched two small bills, one small piece was two taels of silver, and two were four taels of silver.
Not to mention that the board car only needs a few copper plates, and it is not so expensive for the yellow flower girl to get married and sit in a sedan chair.
He wondered if Liang Qu was a big deal, and he didn't know how much it would cost to take a scooter from Yixing City to Pingyang County.
Liang Qu waved his hand: "I know I don't need it, it's for you." ”
There are a total of three helpers in the family, no matter how he says that he has won the title, what do you do so stingy, one person will be rewarded.
Fan Xinglai is overjoyed, his monthly salary is only six dollars of silver, and he is busy with income!
"Thank you, Master Liang! I'll go right away! ”
"Let you not be in a hurry, be careful of falling!"
Liang Qu shouted at his back, and then looked back at Chishan, who stepped on the horse fence and snorted twice.
It hasn't eaten yet.
"What's the hurry, I'll give you a guillotine!"
Liang Qu took the bales of straw from the ground and cut them to a certain length.
There is a saying that "there are three sections of grass, and there is no material to fat".
Chishan's feed is not cheap at all, you have to eat special Lang grass, mixed with meat and soybeans, and ordinary people can't afford to raise this big guy at all.
After feeding the horses, the guys in the yard were pretty much cleaned up.
Several large boxes were placed in the east wing as instructed, and all the utensils that could be used were laid out.
Liang Qu sent two small bills to each of them to show his gratitude.
"Liang Ye Gaoyi!"
"Thank you Master Liang! Liang Ye is promoted! ”
"It's your hard work!"
Liang Qu made a move and sent everyone out.
At dinner, all the utensils used in the home are brand new, and the dishes serving the dishes are patterned.
After Liang Qu finished cultivating today's golden body, he touched the heavy seal in his arms, and his heart was very happy.
Life is getting better and better.
……
The next morning.
West of the Third Courtyard.
Liang Qu squatted on the ground, his fingers inserted into the soil, and the mud water flowed out through the cracks of the soil particles.
"It's almost that big, it's enough."
Liang Qu twisted his hands, wiped the dirt on the ground, stuck a branch in his hand, stood up and looked around.
The branches of the tree enclose a circular land, not too large, more than ten meters in diameter.
After exploring, he decided to dig a pond on the west side of Sanjinyuan.
There is a pond behind the house, and the family is empty, and it is not very good to dig.
The west belongs to gold, gold can produce water, and the side position of Sanjin Courtyard is the best, and digging it out does not affect Feng Shui.
Liang Qu's family was originally poor, and they lived in a remote place.
To the west and behind is a small forest, a small dirt slope, there are people, but it is relatively scattered, it is very convenient to open up, there is no obstacle.
At that time, a wooden tent will be built outside the ear room on the west side of the third courtyard, and it will be extended out to make a platform, overlooking the pond, watching the lotus in summer, and the pattern is similar to that of Master Yang's house.
In the future, the old clams will be able to stay in the small garden to bask in the sun, and usually go in and out of the underground river.
Its slow speed is relatively speaking, and the progress of normal people walking is still there, along the underground river, it only takes a quarter of an hour to go to the river.
"Junko! Bring the shovel over there! ”
The little Shunzi who was digging a pit and digging mud on the side clapped his hands and dragged a shovel over.
Liang Qu took a shovel and shoveled a circle around the perimeter, marked it, and hired someone to dig the pit tomorrow.
"Brother Liang, there are people looking for you in the house!"
Fan Xinglai ran over panting and shouted.
"Yes." Liang Qu nodded, "Shunzi don't play, let's go back to eat lunch, or come to my house to eat today?" ”
"My mother is ready to eat today!"
"Then go back early, don't take a passerby's stubble."
Junko nodded, grabbed a straight branch and cut off the lush spring grass all the way home, with a sound in her mouth.
Seeing Shunzi enter the door, Liang Qu followed Fan Xinglai into the hall.
"Lord Liang!"
The visitors who had been waiting for a long time bowed.
"What's the matter with me?"
Liang Qu sat in the first place and took a sip of tea.
The housekeeper owed: "My lord heard that Lord Liang wanted to organize the river god sacrifice, so he specially asked me to come ......"
Liang Qu put down the teacup and clicked his knuckles on the table twice.
"It's not that I want to do it, since I was born, the annual river god festival in Yixing City has never fallen. They came from other places, did not live along the river, and did not understand the meaning of it. ”
Things are scored clearly, otherwise you owe a debt of favors.
The housekeeper's body pressed lower: "What Lord Liang said is true." ”
"Who is your master?"
"Master Li of the Li Mansion in the east, he is not as young as Lord Liang, there are only some small properties at home, a few shops, this time I just want to make a statement, and the river god will definitely support my family......
The news spread faster than expected.
Less than half an hour after sending off the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, someone came to the door again.
"Lord Liang, my family said ......"
"Lord Liang, I heard about ...... last night"
One after another, several large households sent people to inform them that they were willing to support the holding of the river god festival.
For large households, supporting a river god sacrifice is just a little effort, nothing at all, if you can rely on this to please Liangqu, it is a great thing.
Evening.
Chen Zhaoan, the former villager of Yixing City and the patriarch of the Chen family, came to the door in person, and when he came in, he expressed his support for Liang Qu to be a speaker of Yixing.
"Where is it, the juniors know too little about the place, lest they hate the river god, and then they need a lot of help from Chen Lao."
Liang Qu was busy.
The villagers in Yixing City were affected by the impact of the new villagers, and their lives were not very good, but Chen Zhaoan not only did not decline, but took a foothold, and he was definitely a capable person.
All kinds of customs, memorials, inseparable from the local elders, they know the most.
Chen Zhaoan was furious when he heard this: "We have more than 1,000 people in Yixing City, and Lord Liang is the first one who has never forgotten the villagers!" The river god festival can be held, and everyone has to accept your blessings!
I don't care about others, when the time comes, all the thousands of people in Yixing City will come! Whoever dares not to come, is to forget the classics! ”
"Old Chen's words are serious."
The population of Yixing Town has surged, and many of the new people who have moved in are not fishermen, and they do not have the set of river god sacrifices.
Money is a trivial matter, Liang Qu doesn't care if every villager can scrape together those dozens of copper plates, he wants people.
If the person is in place, there is no problem in paying for it yourself.
I wanted to release the news and use my own status and influence to influence other people's thoughts.
Each big family takes the lead and plays a guiding role, and the rest of the natural water comes naturally.
I didn't expect it to work so well.
The river god sacrifice, it's all right.
