Volume I: Chapter 65 Letters
Ye Qing saw the past, and saw that it was also a courtyard composed of three rooms, the house was not big, but a lot of green bamboo had been moved, presumably the environment would be quiet in the coming year, so he nodded secretly in his heart, there was no one in the yard, but someone was building, and when he asked, he replied: "Childe, Mr. Lu went to count the gift list, and I will make you an ox cart!"
Ye Qing then got on the ox cart and looked at the wheat field from afar, this winter wheat was sown in late September, matured in early June of the second year, and now it is March, and I saw the wheat seedlings undulating.
The figure of the tenant farmer is faint, and the women and girls who walk on the road to deliver food are all happy.
Three hundred acres of private land, at this time, there is a trace of invisible white gas floating over, and there is a trace of natural red fire in the thickness, which is gathered on himself, which is qihe.
The heart was infected with joy, drinking and brewing, and the smoke was slightly awake: "The gods and men all have a faint feeling, not to mention the Taoist Court? Seeing this field, I suddenly remembered that there has been movement in the Taoist Court in the past few years. ”
"As a historical low, all localities were ordered to reconcile the wind and rain, so that the most fertile time before the catastrophe was smooth for five or six years, and the products were harvested. ”
This hint of enlightenment made Huanxi bring some impurities, and the ox cart drove up the river dam and saw Qianqian.
"Qianqian, you also came to check the field, but you have a heart, come up quickly!" Ye Qing was overjoyed when he saw Qianqian, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her up.
Qianqian put her mind at ease, reached out and took her hand, with a soft smile, and looked back.
Ye Qing no longer flirted, and continued to sort out his thoughts: "In troubled times, the use of grain benefits from ten years of people's Tibet, which is enough to change the dynasty and the new in the ordinary. ”
"But there is always a century-old chaos in history, and it is very changing. ”
"On the vine of raw melons, early maturity and early falling, collision and cracking, huge melon shed green vines, majestic and prosperous, always born to turn the tide of the hero, and so the melon shed collapsed, can only be a hundred years of recuperation to recover, accumulate, rebuild...... It's a shame. ”
Ye Qing didn't comment this time, and when he spoke, he turned his head to look outside, his eyes were a little dazed.
Entering this 300 acres of farmland, thatched huts and tiles are dotted, the canal brings living water from the nearby stream, drives the vertical wheeled waterwheel, the pond is planted with elm and mulberry trees, and the aura of the rice field harvest is full of good scenery.
A few years later in his memory, the fields were destroyed, the houses were destroyed, the water dried up and the ponds withered, and the mulberry forests were destroyed in the war.
The two memories are staggered and overlapped, making people almost in a dream.
Looking back at Qianqian, I touched it again, and my hand was warm and smooth, a little relieved, like a husband appreciating his wife's beauty, but also a little inexplicable, like a father melancholy his daughter's growth.
But no matter what, looking at this autumn-like gaze, at least we can be sure that this is not a dream, everything still has room for change, and all changes are made with caution and merit.
The car was quiet for a while, only the wind rustled in the ears of the two of them with the wind blowing the reeds by the river...... The atmosphere is warm and peaceful.
"Childe, what are you thinking?"
The wind swept through the coolness, blowing people refreshed, hearing this, Ye Qing came to his senses, and looked at Qianqian, both heartbroken, and blurted out again: "Kiss!"
Qianqian pretended to be pure and ignorant: "If you kiss it, just say, don't play tricks like last time?"
"I have stated, maybe I will say, maybe not, Qianqian also has a choice of whether to be close or not. Ye Qing smiled a little hatefully.
Qianqian packed up her clothes by herself, and touched the close-fitting embroidered cloth bag: "Qianqian, I have a real heart, I am stupid, and my figure is not good, and I don't know what it means to be a pro or not a pro. ”
He rolled his eyes again, and said angrily: "If the son wants to go, he will go and hate Miss Yun, oh, and there is one of the smartest sisters in the rain, everyone is a princess of the Dragon Palace, or a sister...... You have been away for half a month, but you have come with a few letters to congratulate you on your talent!"
"Or, go back to the yard and kiss your Jiang Zinan, who is a little lotus blooming, full and slender, just waiting for the young master to pick it! Or go to kiss Cao Baijing, your cousin invited you to come over the house several times in the name of Aunt Yue's poetry meeting, and yesterday I ran directly over to arrest people......
Ye Qing saw that it was not good, this vinegar jar was about to be overturned, so he hurriedly interrupted cheekily: "Ahem...... Don't be angry, last time I didn't have to rely on it, obviously I said the conditions, you are willing to kiss, this is consensual!"
Qianqian's white and tender ears were dyed crimson, and she opened her mouth, unable to refute it.
Ye Qing had a flickering consciousness, and his eyes were burning: "And last time was last time, this time is this time, how can Qianqian know the Dao if she doesn't try?"
"That'...... Woo-" The voice instinctively hesitated, suddenly lowered, and turned into a shallow groan.
The curtain is closed.
After a long time, the ox cart was about to set off, but at this time, a middle-aged scholar in front of him came out, Ye Qing fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Shangjing, at this time, Lu Shangjing also saw Ye Qing, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Gongzi, how is the matter?"
Ye Qing instructed the ox cart to carry Qianqian back first, jumped down and smiled: "Everything is fine, the matter is finished, and a cause and effect have been broken, nothing is light, let's go to the courtyard and say." ”
When he and Lu Shangjing entered the inside, they saw that it was generally completed, and they were almost painted.
Lu Shangjing said: "Son, there is no labor fee in the clan, and there are still some walls left to paint, which is a matter of one or two days, and when it is completed, I will move in, and it is also clean." ”
Ye Qing thought for a while and smiled: "Okay, it's just that there is no one to serve, in this way, I will ask the clan to allocate another maid and a servant, what do you think?"
Lu Shangjing's eyes flashed, and he didn't shirk, he accepted it, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said: "Childe, in recent days, many county squires have celebrated Gongzi's talent, this is a collection of gift lists, you can take a look." ”
After saying that, he handed the paper to Ye Qing, Ye Qing looked at it, and saw that it was written:
Twenty feet of rice paper, three strings of pearls, twenty bronze mirrors, twenty silk satins, fifty green satins, two hundred soft cloths, a bell, five glass lamps, ten pairs of copper candlesticks, seven gold-inlaid swords, and three sets of rosewood cabinets......
Ye Qing smiled and said: "Yes, but I don't care much about these things, if you want me to say, it is better to buy a field house in exchange for silver, at least the field house is lucky." ”
Lu Shangjing looked at the list and smiled: "These are not very useful, but they are also indispensable, you can't always be a big family, but you use coarse cloth shoes?"
"That's what I said, you take five pieces of green satin, twenty pieces of soft cloth, and two feet of rice paper, and give the rest to Qianqian. ”
"Also, when the gentleman is moving, he often has to use money every day, and here is a hundred taels of silver, you can use it first. Ye Qing said, taking out a silver ticket from his bosom.
One hundred taels of silver is not much, but combined with the three hundred taels of silver that have been given, it is a lot, which can turn an ordinary person into a small landlord and let a scholar settle down and work.
Lu Shangjing frowned, he now knows Ye Qing's matter, the big income is a hundred taels of gold, but after a few expenses, it has been used almost enough, these gift lists are good, but they can't all be sold, right?
Hesitating, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Take it, there is not much silver now, but it is still a trivial matter to return the daughter after it is gone." ”
Seeing Ye Qing say this, Lu Shangjing no longer hesitated and accepted it.
Besides, I hadn't seen Qianqian for a long time, so I walked towards my yard, and stopped in front of a small pond in the middle of the way.
Far away in the blue sky, the water on the pool surface was blowing ripples, and some tender green grew out, swaying, Ye Qing looked at it thoughtfully.
Ye Qing is a member of the Ye clan, but he can't get much qi.
Last time, I consumed most of the show, and now the Dragon Monarch Banquet is no longer enough, this time don't look at the gods to give some more, but it is far less than the Dragon Monarch Banquet.
August is the state exam, and next February is the palace exam, and it is almost impossible to accumulate the luck of being able to win the jinshi in one fell swoop within a year.
Ye Qing looked calm in front of Lu Shangjing, but when he thought about it, he felt embarrassed.
After hesitating for a moment, he looked back at Zhou, looking at the sun from afar, the mist and smoke in the distance, groups of birds fluttering up and down, quiet and serene, after a long time, Ye Qing took out an embroidered cloth bag, which was left to him by Qianqian, and it still didn't burn in the end.
When I took it out, I saw that it was a golden letterhead, which was the long note of the Dragon Girl sisters, pretending to inquire about the "Shilin Information of Nancang County", and the following was a complaint about the strict requirements for rain in agriculture in recent days.
"Above" assigned many detailed requirements this year, and the monarch's father was too busy, so the mother concubine had to prepare for it, and handed over the task to "the smartest sister Shocking Rain", and the most difficult still fell on the "most pitiful little dragon girl", and there were a lot of threats such as "If you dare to displease me, I will make you know that you are powerful!" This kind of threat was written very pitifully, which made Ye Qing laugh.
Ye Qing also has a small gift, which is a golden snail shell, cleverly opened with holes, engraved with small characters: Hate the clouds handmade, and the rain is engraved.
Looking at the inside, there are a few columns of Juanxiu small characters engraved on the fruit, which is the song "Viewing Taiping".
As soon as it blows, it is a pleasant whining, the rhythm does not fluctuate much, but the timbre is vast and quiet, there are the tides of Taiping Lake, and the trance returns to the golden attic, looking forward to the eyes behind the curtains.
"It's not time yet...... "Shake your head, put down the letter and the golden snail, and put it in the embroidered cloth bag again.
These tendernesses made Ye Qing make up his mind.
"Although I don't want to be a thief of luck, but I don't fight, let alone the middle of the promotion, even if I keep everything now, it's impossible to get rid of those hypocrisy. ”
"The opportunity I remembered in my previous life was deducted from the distance, and now I can have only two or three pieces, and now I can complete it, it seems that there is only one?"
"The mountain god at night?"
"How can this one involve the Divine Way again?" Ye Qing thought of this, and his heart sank: "And the Great General's Shrine just now, according to reason, the Divine Shrine that has been in disrepair for a long time has long been out of incense, how can the Great General have the current divine power? Even if it doesn't fall, it will be weak." ”
"Invite the mountain god this night, how can you come as soon as you are invited, so show the Holy Spirit, where does this power come from?"
"There is no change for no reason, this is the coming of the catastrophe, so there are all kinds of variables?"
"The water in here is unfathomable, so do I want this opportunity?"
For a while, he was a little hesitant, but after thinking for a moment, he smiled dumbly: "If I don't fight, the catastrophe will come, and it will definitely be ashes, even if there is trouble, I can't take care of it." ”
