Volume 1 Chapter 40 Porridge Field
On that day, the snow fell all night and did not stop until morning.
Ye Zifan personally brought people over with food boxes, and saw that the residential fields were covered with snow, and there were only some footprints in the corridor, but no one was moving.
When I arrived at the yard, I smelled a little fragrant and cold fragrance, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a cluster of plum trees in the corner of the wall, and I couldn't help but differentiate: "How can there be plums here?"
"Third master, it was the Fu family in the county who sent someone to move over, and it was planted last month, but there was a Taoist priest who came with the tree, and he came alive after making the law. β
Master Fu said that although it is a serious matter for young men to study alone in the quiet room, they may be lonely, so they can send Mei to play, or they can enjoy it. β
Ye Zifan was stunned, the Fu family is also a big family, Fu Guangguang is even more talented, the talent in the same county, he knows each other, he is a little arrogant, but he doesn't want to send the plum tree.
Ye Zifan past, see the plum branch has snow clusters, the blooming petals are red, a kind of fragrance, make people feel refreshed, and then look carefully, see the plum branch like a dragon, suddenly surprised, this is a dragon plum, in the past only the prince can plant, now although it spreads to the people, it is still worth a lot.
There are about thirty plum trees in this cluster, and if one or two are one, it is also thirty taels of gold.
The entourage saw the third master groaning and said, "I heard that the young master Qing wrote a poem, so Master Fu sent it over dryly!"
"What poem?"
"It's in the hall, and you can see it when you go in. β
Ye Zifan went in, and saw a post hanging in a corner with a book
"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone.
I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. β
The pen and ink are pure black, the handwriting is simple and elegant, with this poem, it really has an elegant atmosphere, Ye Zifan couldn't help but think: "Qing'er's poetry and calligraphy are not far from the furnace, and it is a pity that Qing'er is not good at painting, otherwise they complement each other." β
But thinking of this, he smiled bitterly: "If you want to know how to paint again, I will say that he is mixed with small paths." β
After a long time of being stunned by this, he sighed: "ββIt is nothing if a person has talent, but if he has great talent, he can only be called a cone in his bag, and he can't suppress it." β
Speaking of this, he smiled to himself, and at this moment, Ye Qing turned out of the inner room, gave Ye Zifan a salute, and said: "It's snowing, why did my uncle come in person, I really don't dare to take it." β
"Where, this snow has been falling for a day and a night, some people live in thatched huts, if the snow collapses, it will be a big trouble, or there is heavy snow to close the road, many people are cold and hungry, so I take people to inspect, and there are many thieves in winter, we are still very peaceful here, but we can't help but patrol...... I'll stop by to see you. β
Ye Qing listened silently, in this world, out of the supervision of ghosts and gods, and luck and yin virtue, both the government and the big clans will consider this aspect, so that it will not be too harsh.
This is not selflessness, but only for the long-term interests of future generations.
There are some philanthropies in the West on the earth, and some people are picky, saying that it is just that the rich are just trying to evade taxes, and how many people are sitting on dividends.
However, their red eyes do not see the part that benefits the society, "Zigong redeems people" and "Zilu suffers cattle" have been said for thousands of years, and many people still oppose public and private.
Even if Ye Zifan is a family member in the clan, Shi Shan is simply for his own selfish interests, for the luck and yin virtue of the clan, but how many such family members are there in the whole world?
Thousands of Ye Zifan, how many people can live in this move?
How many people who are cold and hungry have been able to get food and rice to survive the winter and snow?
And if "there is a heart for goodness, although the good is not rewarded", according to this standard, among the thousands of Ye Zifan, can ten sages be able to reach?
If there is no reward, and how many people can persevere, is the sin of the thousands of people who starve to death because of this "unintentional evil, although evil is not punished"?
This is all feelings, and it will be gone in a blink of an eye, Ye Qing thought about it and said: "Third uncle, it is your duty to inspect the township, but these thieves are inherently real thieves, but there are desperate poor people, and the government disaster relief cannot be everywhere." β
"I wanted to give some money and build a porridge shed. β
Ye Zifan didn't speak for a while, showing a look of embarrassment.
"Third uncle, I only tried to show in the spring, these can accumulate some blessings, this is my selfishness. Ye Qing said it eloquently, smiled here, and said: "I know where the third uncle of Lu Dao is in trouble, although the porridge field is small, but it looks up to public opinion, it is related to the system, which involves the people's reputation and the imperial court, and only the government can do it!"
"But here you can play side ball, heavy snow to close the road, very inconvenient, I out of this porridge shed is not for disaster relief, just hire manpower, clean the road and the heavy snow on the house, the snow is cleared, you can also repair the bridge road, this is a serious work for pay, no one can speak!"
"Of course, even so, I only build a porridge shed, too much, I'm afraid I can't bear it, but I just want the porridge soup to not fall, and my nephew will give one hundred and twenty taels, so that the township can survive this cold winter, even if it is my wish-third uncle, what do you think?"
A porridge shed can make thousands of people drink porridge, so as to clean the road, cure the collapse of the house, and make the desperate potential thieves have a way out.
Ye Zifan looked at Ye Qing in a daze, and there was a sour heat in his heart, he was happy and sad, he was happy that there was a talent in the clan, but the sadness was an idea: "Why don't I have this son?"
"How can I disagree when you talk about this? Okay, just build a porridge shed and accumulate some virtue for you, do you want to go yourself?"
"No, I still have to meditate now, but Qianqian can go and see you. Ye Qing waved his hand and said.
Ye Zifan saw Ye Qing's style, his face was radiant, and he sighed in his heart, Ye Qing grew up watching him since he was a child, and he only felt that he had a gentle temperament, and looking at his face, he also had a thin appearance, not a great blessing, so there was persecution.
And in the past six months, on the matter of the boy's attempt, he saw the true color of the killing decision, and he traveled to the south to win the Longjun banquet poem, and his talent and intelligence are needless to say.
After coming back, Ye Qing didn't take a step out of the courtyard, and devoted himself to meditation.
In the afternoon, I began to write articles, and after dinner, I read some miscellaneous books such as geography and military, political records, and humanities travelogues as a pastime, in fact, to supplement the memory of my previous life and improve my planning.
These are gradually famous in the clan, even the patriarch has made people visit, every time they are reading, several times, even the patriarch has sent a lot of precious books, specially opened a small stove.
Ye Qing is in need, as long as Qianqian is reported, there is no allowed.
However, Ye Qing has been in the newspaper so far, and the attitude of the clan is also very clear, as long as you have the title, age, location, and author, you will try your best to find it, and you will not hesitate to exchange it with other families with your collection.
Ye Zifan glanced at Ye Qing with a faint gaze, and saw that a trace of red qi was still infiltrating his face, thinking about it carefully, this kind of killing decision, talent, intelligence, perseverance, and attitude even made people feel terrible.
Back then, how could I treat this son as a mediocre person?
Waiting for Ye Zifan to come back to his senses, he found that he had gone out, the sky was bleak, it was dark, the wind was falling with the snow, and he exhaled silently at the moment, and led people to continue to inspect.
Ye Qing returned to the house, charcoal was burning in the house, it was warm, and he sat not far away to meditate, and after a while, Qianqian came in.
"Would you rather go to the porridge shed in the afternoon?"
"Of course I do, there are very few things that can reach me now, and I will be busy in a while. Qianqian said a little depressedly.
Everyone in the Ye Mansion knew that the young man was studying hard, and even when Qianqian went to buy a little private property, there were many sisters rushing to do it for him, and he only said: "The young man is going to be a fellow jinshi, if you don't serve carefully, run out to do these things, you don't have to delay your homework, and if you lack someone to take care of it, it will be even worse......"
"What's so embarrassing about this?" Qianqian could only say this, seeing that her work was robbed, and she didn't have to go to the monthly money and rice herself, so she sent it over.
The house is cleaned up, and it is a new maid bag in the yard.
There was even a clever aunt who called her over and taught her to "serve the son", and she couldn't run away from the wilderness.
Back in the courtyard, Qianqian didn't mention it to Ye Qing, which was really ashamed.
"I know this, there are fewer things, but there is no less power, you are in charge of the food, money, cloth, melons and fruits, just send them diligently, but this is good, you can learn more from me. "Ye Qing has already planned, he is young, even if he is a soup kitchen, it is not suitable to go.
But it is a matter of course to pay for it yourself, and Qianqian will monitor it on her behalf.
Qianqian or herself still don't think that these days, Qianqian's appearance and temperament have gradually changed, although she is not yet beautiful in her memory, she is still young, but she has begun to show her signs.
Taking advantage of the fact that she is not too talented now, she can be sent out to do something, accumulate some experience, and read in the morning.
The three classics and five classics in this world are not empty and useless learning, the words are traced to the avenue, and if you are familiar with it, even if you don't understand it, you can also cultivate the strength of the mind.
No matter how she develops in the future, it will be of great benefit.
Thinking of the previous life, but without this experience, without understanding the truth of Qianqian, in this life, I really can't just let it go lightly.
You have to figure out the source of her temperament.
