And although Song Mu's words seemed to have other intentions that day, he didn't necessarily think about it more. Thinking of this, Lu Zhengan was also relieved.

Thinking that Song's father was still sick, it was inappropriate for him to visit him with an injury on the back of his hand, but fortunately, there were two snacks in the basket that were ready to be sent to the village chief's house for the time being.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhengan took out the snacks in the back basket and handed them to Song Huaishu. Seeing that he put his hands behind his back like a child, and even took a step back, he couldn't help but laugh for a while.

Lu Zhengan: "What are you hiding?" In the past few days, the family has been busy preparing the wheat harvest, and my uncle is afraid that he will not be able to visit him when he is sick. These two letters of dessert are not worth much, but they are my heart. When the wheat harvest was over, I went back to visit my uncle. ”

Song Huaishu will accept it when he hears it. Shaking his head, he was about to speak, when he saw a scholar wearing a royal blue robe and a turban of the same color on his head running to Lu Zhengan's side and stopped. Xu has been running for a long time, and the other party tilted his head, supported his knees with his hands, and looked at Lu Zhengan while panting.

Yuan Lingfeng: "Oh, run, I ran two or three pharmacies to find you." ”

When he first saw Yuan Lingfeng in the bazaar, Lu Zhengan had an inexplicable dislike for this person. I always feel that this Yuan Lingfeng looks at his eyebrows and eyes, but his eyes are too lively, and he is not a sincere person.

For this kind of person, Lu Zhengan naturally stays away. But now looking at Yuan Lingfeng who suddenly appeared, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and was about to ask him what he was looking for. saw that Yuan Lingfeng's gaze suddenly turned to Song Huaishu, who was standing opposite him, and then straightened his back suddenly.

Yuan Lingfeng: "Brother Song, it turns out that you know this strong man?" ”

Yuan Lingfeng's 'Brother Song' shouted meanderingly, and it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to Lu Zhengan's ears. looked sideways at Song Huaishu, but saw that the other party's face was pale, the corners of his mouth were tight, and his eyes were extremely defensive.

Seeing this situation, no matter how stupid Lu Zhengan was, he also understood that there must be something wrong between the two.

However, Song Huaishu didn't seem to want to deal with Yuan Lingfeng. Turning his head to look at Lu Zhengan, he said in a low voice: "I still have some things at home, so I'll leave first." ”

After saying that, Song Huaishu lowered his head and turned to leave. Seeing this, Lu Zhengan did not stop him, but turned his gaze to Yuan Lingfeng, who had been staring at Song Huaishu's back.

Seeing him look at Song Huaishu, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about something. Lu Zhengan coughed heavily, and then moved his steps, blocking Yuan Lingfeng's gaze at Song Huaishu.

Lu Zhengan: "You have something to do with me?" ”

Yuan Lingfeng couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart when he heard Lu Zheng'an's indifferent tone. However, there is something that Lu Zhengan needs to do right now, and Yuan Lingfeng has to endure it for the time being.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan Lingfeng looked up at Lu Zhengan and smiled very kindly.

Yuan Lingfeng: "Can Brother Tai take a step to speak?" ”

Lu Zhengan was almost a head taller than Yuan Lingfeng, which also caused Yuan Lingfeng to have to tilt his head when talking to Lu Zhengan. It's just that Lu Zhengan observed that when this Yuan Lingfeng looked at him, he had a smile on his face. But Lu Zhengan clearly saw that the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he carefully distinguished it with a hint of disdain.

"I still have something to do, you can just say it directly."

Hearing this, Yuan Lingfeng suddenly became angry. You must know that he is a scholar, the pride of the sky, as long as he squeezes through the single-plank bridge of the imperial examination, he can move forward and soar.

And Lu Zheng'an is just a lowly mud leg, the two identities are very different, and his Yuan Lingfeng can talk to Lu Zheng'an with dignity, which is already his rare creation.

Thinking of this, Yuan Lingfeng's face couldn't help but bring out a bit of emotion. However, what he asked Lu Zhengan to do still couldn't be known after all, so despite his impatience, Yuan Lingfeng could only be patient.

Yuan Lingfeng: "Don't worry, it won't delay you too much." ”

Lu Zheng remembered the Song Huaishu who left with peace of mind, where would he continue to listen to him play dumb riddles here. Leaning over and putting the basket on his shoulder, Lu Zhengan turned around and followed in the direction where Song Huaishu left.

Where would Yuan Lingfeng have thought that Lu Zhengan was so ignorant, he was so angry that he shook his sleeves fiercely. Until Lu Zhengan's back was about to disappear into the crowd, Yuan Lingfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore, and continued to chase after him with the hem of his clothes.

……

Lu Zheng'an had not been to the gate of the Song family, and he did not know where Song Huai's house was. After he walked from the street to the end of the street and did not find Song Huaishu's figure, he gave up.

However, when he walked out of the town, he inadvertently turned around and saw Yuan Lingfeng who was chasing him persistently behind him, and Lu Zhengan finally stopped and waited for him to approach.

When Yuan Lingfeng approached panting, Lu Zhengan bowed his head at him and led him to the side under the willow tree.

Without waiting for Yuan Lingfeng to catch his breath, Lu Zhengan went straight to the point and said, "What are you going to do with me all the time?" If you can't say one, two, three, don't blame me for reporting to the official. ”

is Yuan Lingfeng's background as a scholar, and it is still a little trembling to deal with the government. And Lu Zhengan is just a mud leg, and it is really surprising that he said the words of the official so loudly.

Lu Zheng'an's voice fell, and when he saw Yuan Lingfeng looking at him in surprise, he didn't speak, and he immediately lost his patience. was about to turn around and leave, but was pulled by Yuan Lingfeng, who came back to his senses, and grabbed his sleeve.

Yuan Lingfeng didn't expect Lu Zhengan to be a quick temper, so he said he would leave. He who wanted to put on a show could only be forced to put down his posture.

"Brother, wait! You say, why don't you let anyone speak? As soon as Yuan Lingfeng's words of complaint came out, he caught a glimpse of Lu Zhengan's frowning brows, and suddenly fell silent and didn't dare to say more.

Lu Zhengan: "If you have something, say it quickly, and don't delay me if it's okay." ”

Yuan Lingfeng glanced at Lu Zheng'an's face, "I am a student of Fuyang Academy, and today's incident is thanks to Brother Tai. ”

Lu Zhengan: "It's just a gesture, and besides, I didn't save you, so you can't thank me." ”

Yuan Lingfeng was choked by Lu Zheng'an's words, but still said with a smile: "But if it weren't for Brother Lu, my money bag wouldn't have been recovered so quickly." However, in addition to thanking Brother Lu, there is also a reluctant invitation below. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Lingfeng glanced at Lu Zheng'an's face, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he continued: "Don't hide it from Brother Lu, it will be the township test in a few months, if there is no accident, it will be a show when my township has finished the trial." Speaking of which, I am not afraid of brothers' jokes, and I not only want to be admitted to the show, but also want to be admitted to the first-class show. ”

Yuan Lingfeng thought that Lu Zhengan didn't understand this, and he was quite complacent in his words. "However, if you want to pass the first-class show, you must not only pass the test, but also look at your personal character. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Lu and the child's parents to go to our academy to help me build momentum. ”

CHAPTER XXI

As soon as Yuan Lingfeng's words came out, Lu Zhengan immediately understood what he meant. Without waiting for him to react, he saw Yuan Lingfeng take out a silver ingot of five taels from his cuff and shake it in front of Lu Zhengan's eyes.

Yuan Lingfeng: "As long as you can do what I say, then these five taels of silver are yours." ”

Since coming here, Lu Zhengan has only seen some broken silver and copper plates, and it is the first time he has seen silver ingots. Lu Zheng'an likes the silver in vain, but he doesn't say that any silver will be pulled into his pocket.

He doesn't care what others do, and he can't care about it, but Yuan Lingfeng wants to buy him and build a bridge for his Qingyun Road!

Not to mention whether he can pass the township test or not, that is, with the character of a person like him, he will be a corrupt official who will be the official in the future.

Looking at Yuan Lingfeng's villain appearance waving silver in front of him, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but sneer. "In Xia Fubo, I can't afford your silver, so you should keep this money for yourself."

Saying that, Lu Zhengan no longer paid attention to Yuan Lingfeng, and even turned around to leave.

However, when he just walked out of a meter away, he heard Yuan Lingfeng behind him suddenly say with compassion: "Heh! I forgot that what can be mixed with a second son can be something on the table! ”

Yuan Lingfeng's voice fell, and Lu Zhengan immediately stopped and turned around. "Who do you say is the second child?!"

Although Lu Zheng'an was expressionless, Yuan Lingfeng, who was looking at him with a cold expression and eyes, subconsciously took a step back.

Realizing that his move was very down, and there were a lot of people around him, Yuan Lingfeng, who thought that Lu Zhengan didn't dare to do anything to him, suddenly became confident. He took a step forward and smiled mockingly at Lu Zhengan.

Yuan Lingfeng: "Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know, that Song Huaishu used to be a student of our Fuyang Academy, and many people in the academy know that he is a master who squats and pees." Mix with him, don't be ......"

Before Yuan Lingfeng finished speaking, he saw Lu Zheng'an, who was standing opposite, raise his leg and kick over.

Yuan Lingfeng only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and before he could react to what was happening, his whole eyes lit up, and when he came back to his senses, he was already lying on the ground.

The sharp pain in his back made Yuan Lingfeng's expression very hideous, and he was about to stand up holding his waist that was hurting, but he saw Lu Zheng'an walking forward leisurely, and raised his foot and stepped on his chest in his surprised gaze.

Looking condescendingly at Yuan Lingfeng, who looked frightened on the ground, Lu Zhengan said in a deep voice: "What I hate the most is the person who bullies others in a group, you said this once in front of me, forget it, if you dare to chew your tongue everywhere again, believe it or not, I am not polite to you." ”

Although Yuan Lingfeng, who was trampled on the ground by Lu Zhengan, was a little scared, he still had a hard mouth. "The surname is Lu, you are just a mud leg from the countryside, you dare to beat me?!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan chuckled lightly and slowly began to exert force under his feet, only to step on Yuan Lingfeng's brows. "What about hitting you? You see all around here are people watching the excitement, do they dare to come and stop me? ”

When Yuan Lingfeng heard this, he immediately looked around. Seeing that there were not many onlookers next to him, but no one dared to approach, he was suddenly afraid. Stretched out his hand and slapped Lu Zheng'an's foot on his chest, and shouted as he patted, "You, you let go of me." ”

Lu Zhengan turned a deaf ear to his words, and his strength was still undiminished. "People like you should have offended a lot of people on a daily basis, right? If you let me know that you dare to talk nonsense about Song Huaishu's gossip with this mouth, believe it or not, I have a way to kill you, and no one will suspect me? ”

When the words fell, the fear on Yuan Lingfeng's face was even worse, and he struggled to apologize while holding Lu Zhengan's feet.

Yuan Lingfeng: "Brother Tai spare his life, I won't dare next time, I will definitely walk around him when I see Song Huaishu in the future." ”

Lu Zhengan didn't beat the water dog badly, and when he saw Yuan Lingfeng like this, he also let go of the foot that stepped on his chest, and then stretched out his right hand in front of Yuan Lingfeng.

Yuan Lingfeng looked at the rough palm in front of him, looked at Lu Zhengan's face, and didn't understand what Lu Zhengan was going to do for a while. It wasn't until the expression on Lu Zhengan's face gradually became a little impatient that Yuan Lingfeng had the courage to stretch out his hand tremblingly, and got up from the ground with Lu Zhengan's strength.

After Lu Zhengan waited for Yuan Lingfeng to stand firm, he patted the hand that Yuan Lingfeng had pulled over on him. At the same time, he also smiled and said to him: "When a child is disobedient, he has to educate, and if he can't do one meal, he will take two meals until he is obedient." However, most children are forgetful, and you are such a smart person, you have to remember what you told me. ”

At this time, Yuan Lingfeng was a bully and a master who was afraid of the hard, and when he saw that Lu Zhengan really dared to beat him, where did he dare to say anything else. With red eyes, he couldn't stop nodding, "Don't worry, don't worry, I promise to do what I say." ”

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan didn't say anything anymore, waved his hand at Yuan Lingfeng, signaling that he could leave.

Yuan Lingfeng saw Lu Zhengan waving his hand, and suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, and ran away without looking back, for fear that Lu Zheng'an would change his mind if he took a step too slowly.

Lu Zhengan stood in the shade of a tree, looking at Yuan Lingfeng's back in a hurry and couldn't help but sneer.

People like Yuan Lingfeng are just a little deflated who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and Lu Zhengan will beat him if he beats him, and he is not afraid of his revenge. Even if Yuan Lingfeng still dares to use any little brains against him, then he wants to bribe Lu Zhengan and want to build momentum for himself in the township test, and ridicule Song Huaishu later. If Yuan Lingfeng wanted to take the exam in a few months, he should be smart enough to shrink his head and be a quail.

Otherwise, if the fish really dies and the net is broken, in the end, who will lose more will really be uncertain.

Just after Yuan Lingfeng left, the official who took the lead in catching the thief received a report, and it was too late.

When the leading official saw that it was Lu Zhengan, he asked him what had happened.

Lu Zhengan didn't say anything else, but only told the official who took the lead that he had just been threatened by Yuan Lingfeng because of catching the thief, but fortunately, he was tall and big, and he didn't suffer any losses.

After listening to Lu Zheng'an's words, the leading official twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a while, looked at his expression carefully, and saw that Lu Zhengan's expression did not seem to be lying, so he hesitated for a moment and chased after someone in the direction that Yuan Lingfeng left.

Lu Zhengan, who was angry, was in a good mood, and strode home with a basket on his back.

……

As the sun rises and sets, the wheat in the fields is ripe.

During this period, Mrs. Jiang came twice more, saying that she wanted to help Lu Zhengan introduce two good objects. However, Lu Zhengan was busy cleaning up the wheat drying field, and only pushed it to see him after the wheat harvest.

Mrs. Jiang really thinks that Lu Zheng'an is a good young man, and she is determined to eat the big fish sent by Lu Zheng'an, and she is not angry when she sees him shirking. After happily settling down with Lu Zheng to the wheat harvest, he staggered down the mountain.

On the third day of sending off Mrs. Jiang, the annual wheat harvest began.

On this day, as soon as the fish belly turned white, Lu Zhengan got up. After neatly feeding the chickens and ducks, he wrapped a few steamed buns and pickled vegetables by himself, and pushed the cart that had already been packed down the mountain.

Lu Zhengan thought that he had gotten up early enough, but after he got down the mountain, many people in the fields had already begun to get busy.

After saying hello to familiar people, Lu Zhengan pushed the cart to the edge of the ridge, and after finding the ridge with a sickle, he began to cut the wheat.

Although the original body is strong and strong, Lu Zhengan has always had theoretical knowledge greater than practice. It took nearly two days to cut the two acres of land in front of me.

Looking at the neatly stacked wheat seedlings in the field, Lu Zhengan only felt a full sense of accomplishment. However, when he thought that he had only collected more than a third of it now, Lu Zhengan was suddenly a little discouraged.

But time waits for no one, and it would be a pity if we didn't get home before the ears of wheat were completely dry, and then we would fall into the ground.

It's just that Lu Zheng'an has a small number of people in his home, and four or five acres of wheat that has matured, and he still has to work a lot of time. Fortunately, every year, the help of the village chief Lu Changgen in the prime of life among several clans helped Lu Zhengan solve a big problem.

A group of people cut the wheat, and pulled the cart back, and the four or five acres of wheat seedlings were harvested home in just two days.

In order to express his gratitude, Lu Zhengan specially went to the town, cut two cuts of meat, and beat a few jars of good wine to thank the few people who helped. After everyone had a lively meal, Lu Zhengan's breath had not yet evened out, and a considerable part of the early fruits in the orchard on the hillside at the door had begun to ripen.

Fortunately, the wheat seedlings pulled back are still a little wet, and you will have to wait a few days for threshing. Lu Zhengan just happened to take advantage of these few days to put the ripe peaches on the tree down.

However, the orchard is so big, it is too difficult for Lu Zhengan to make it alone. There are many people in Lujia Village, Lu Zhengan inquired with the village chief, and picked almost all of them with better character to come over to help.

Because there is little land and many people in the village, these families in the village will go around every year to help others to subsidize the family. However, God bless this year, the weather was very good during the wheat harvest, and there was no lodging in the wheat field.

Originally, these people were still a little worried, but now that they heard that Lu Zhengan was going to hire them to help pick fruits, they naturally couldn't ask for it, and they swore that they would definitely do it well.

By this time, most of the peaches on the tree have begun to turn red. Because of the abundant water source and proper care, each peach is the size of an adult's fist, which is very gratifying to look at.
