Chapter 713 People
first day of october
In heavy fog, it is advisable to break ground and avoid travel.

The blue smoke billowed over the Guzhuang ancestral hall. It was no longer floating upwards, but surging. At first glance, everyone almost thought that the ancestral hall was on fire, and a few young men went there with buckets to fight the fire, but the old patriarch caught him. Live a pass counting and counting.

What is it like to idle around all day and not know how to make progress, go to an evening school to study, and spend three days fishing and two days drying the net, dressed in a mess every day, not looking good, and not at home.

After counting and counting for a long time, the old patriarch immediately decided that all the younger generations of the clan should be able to read and write. Now there is a teacher in the village to teach, whoever skips class in the future, he will personally enforce the family law, and each person will take ten whips first.

A few younger generations: "... Is the old patriarch crazy?"

The old patriarch went to bed at night and dreamed of his ancestor, who smiled at him very gently, nodded frequently, and looked very satisfied.

His daughter-in-law listened to him laughing like a madman for half a night, and kicked him to sleep next door the next day.

In the middle of the night, the old man didn't feel much in the first place, and if he was allowed to torment like this, how could his old bones bear it?
"I have to go to Gu Ji to buy some longan and lotus seed soup."

The old patriarch's daughter-in-law is still in good health, her eyes are not blurred, her ears are not deaf, the only thing is that she can't sleep well, but after Gu Xiang found out, she asked her to go to Gu Ji to eat longan and lotus seed soup. After drinking this soup, her insomnia condition really got better and better.

Of course, even if it doesn't help sleep, she still likes to drink it, the sweetness is just right, and it's so beautiful.

Only when the old lady thought of her lotus seed soup was she startled again, and sighed faintly.

"I'm afraid... I won't be able to drink it in the future."

If one has the face to let the princess cook the soup herself, I am afraid that only the empress dowager in the palace and the emperor and his elders are the only ones.

"Hey."

Thinking of this, the old lady gave the smiling old man a white look.

"Stupid thing, dreaming blindly all day long, hum."

It was late autumn now, the wind was cold and the dew was heavy, and the sun was not so hot even in the daytime.

Gu Xiang got up early in the morning and boiled a big pot of wax gourd and beef bone soup in the kitchen.

Gu Xiang was speechless as he watched the food order jumping up half by half. He looked back at Gu Laoshi and Jiang Shi. The two of them were still engrossed in the big pie that fell from the sky. Can't count on it.

Since receiving the imperial decree yesterday, Gu Laoshi walks with the same hands and feet, bows his head when he sees people, his face is flushed, and he doesn't know what to think.

Gu Xiang: "...Hey!"

The new eater in the family has one too.

Every time she develops new diners, she can always harvest a wave of gourmet spots, but this time it seems that she has hit a wall. Her food entered the stomach of the imperial envoy, like a small stone sunk in the sea, without causing any waves .

"I don't know what delicacies Huamantao eats at home, gentian and phoenix marrow. They serve several delicious meals, and they only give two and a half delicacies."

Gu Xiang shook his head.

Two and a half, it's just insulting.

This is completely different from what she imagined. She thought that there were a lot of diners, but when she thought that the princess cooked it herself, she didn't even cook it by herself. She was the supervisor, she seasoned, and the menu she set could also bring a very different experience to the diners. Food experience.

Unexpectedly, it is not the same thing at all!

Huamantao actually eats very well, but his mind and heart are filled with all kinds of thoughts, and he can't take care of tasting food for a while.

At this time, he was wearing a big cloak, standing at the door of Gu Ji's backyard in a daze, and after a while, he took a step back suddenly, his heart beating wildly.

Suddenly, a group of women came over on the path east of the village.

The older ones are 40 years old, and the younger ones are fifteen or sixteen years old. Everyone is dressed in short jackets, tight clothes, short trouser legs, showing half of the calf, and neither hats nor veils. , The footsteps are sonorous and powerful.

Huamantao's face turned red, she suddenly lowered her head and didn't dare to look, she heard a few sneers, and then a loud voice said: "Little man, we are country people, if we are raised with those A daughter from a famous family in a deep boudoir is the same, wearing a beautiful skirt, it is impossible to work."

"That's not right. Our little lady Gu is more beautiful in dress than anyone else, and she works faster than anyone else."

"Also take care of the little lady, it's time to call the princess, do you have the nerve to compare with our princess?"

The little ladies walked over chatteringly, Hua Mantao didn't dare to say a word, her ears were red as if dripping blood, but she couldn't help it, she glanced at it one after another.

When had he seen such...such...powerful little ladies, or so many.

After only staying for one day, Huamantao found that Guzhuang was completely different from the villages he had seen. The people here spoke very loudly, and their minds seemed to be quite flexible. , polite and proper, women are the same.

If it is said that Huamantao didn't know much before and didn't know what the mountain village looked like, now that he has come all the way from the capital, he has heard and seen more than he did in the previous 20 years, and he was tied up by someone, and he lived in fear for several months , He already knows a lot about the outside world.

He walked all the way from the capital, and when he left the capital, he went to those big cities, and the faces and bodies of the ordinary people he met had an indescribable numbness. They did the same thing every day, were taciturn, and seldom spoke. , and rarely get out of the cages erected around him.

One day in a small county town, he met an old man who had been a woodcutter for 30 years. They both stopped by the roadside to rest, and they chatted for a while. The old woodcutter has been doing the same thing every day for 30 years, getting up early I went up the mountain to chop firewood, dragged it to the county town at noon to sell it, and sold it for silver money to return some bad rice and miscellaneous grains to go home. I did this every day, and there was no change in 30 years.

Now Old Chaf's son was doing the same thing over and over again.

Huamantao looked at him, and a trace of fear involuntarily spread in her heart.

Are these people alive, or walking dead?Just walking towards death step by step, when the flowers are full of peaches in the dead of night, I fall into his little emotions, thinking of these is always very scary, he is a person with rich emotions and delicate feelings.

Ministers of the DPRK and China have to praise this prosperous age every day.

They say that now the country is safe and peaceful, and the world is peaceful.

They said that His Majesty is the best emperor in the world, a benevolent monarch, and it was widely rumored throughout the court that His Majesty was kind to the people.What Huamanlou saw was the same. His Majesty is a good emperor, with a simple life and a gentle personality. He is very considerate to the palace people, let alone the ministers.

The Hua family received the emperor's favor, from old to young, they are all grateful.

But what kind of people are the people in the mouth of the courtiers?Those who have no way to make a sound, seem to be just numb parts in this world, who are nothing, are they considered ordinary people?
