The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 528 Zhuangzi
Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, on the contrary, you have done a good job. I have also witnessed what happened in Dongshan County Zhuangzi for so many years."

"Then why"

"I just think, Feng Hao, you are a talent. Putting you in this small Dongshan County is a bit overkill. This year is the spring, Feng Hao, have you ever thought about taking the big exam?" Xuan Shijing asked.

In fact, if Feng Hao wants to be an official, he doesn't need to participate in the Spring Festival. As long as a recommendation letter from Xuan Shijing is handed over to His Majesty Li Er's imperial case, His Majesty Li Er will see Feng Hao's political achievements in Dongshan County over the years. Feng Hao will be directly assigned a real position.

However, Xuan Shijing's recommendation is different from Feng Hao's own participation in the exam to win fame. Xuan Shijing's recommendation, no matter where Feng Hao goes in the future, will not be able to get rid of the shadow of the Houfu. It is extremely unfavorable to Feng Hao.

Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Feng Hao shook his head: "Master Hou, this subordinate never thought of going into an official career."

"Why?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Master Hou knows more about what the officialdom looks like than his subordinates. The subordinates feel that the current life is very good and comfortable. The farmers on the village are very simple, and the subordinates are very comfortable with them. Looking at our Zhuangzi has become picturesque step by step. The people on Zhuangzi have gradually changed from having food and clothing to now having meat to eat. Occasionally, the girl’s home still has silk and satin to wear. The subordinates feel very satisfied. "Feng Hao said: "I don't have great ambitions, but I hope to spend my whole life in this village, guarding our three acres of land, which is much better than being a county magistrate or a mansion."

"You." Xuan Shijing smiled helplessly: "You are at a good age, but your mentality is like an old man."

Hearing this, Feng Hao couldn't help but smile.

"Master Hou, you didn't come to Zhuangzi this time to ask your subordinates if they want to take the big exam." Feng Hao said, cupping his hands.

"That's right, there's nothing to do in Chang'an City these two days, and I plan to rest for two days, your Lord Hou. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring some people from the house to Zhuangzi for an outing. I won't bring much stuff. You can help me." Get ready, this time I come to Zhuangzi, I plan to live in Zhuangzi for a while, and the house in Zhuangzi has to be properly arranged." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Lord Hou, don't worry, these subordinates will definitely take care of it." Feng Hao cupped his hands and said.

"Not only now, but this summer, I plan to send some people from Chang'an City to the house. The house on the Zhuangzi will be used to escape the summer heat." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou, this subordinate understands." Feng Hao replied, "Does Master Hou have anything else to tell you?"

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "It's gone for now, you can look at it and buy it."

Refusing Feng Hao's company, Xuan Shijing walked out of Feng Hao's house, led the horse, and planned to walk on the Zhuangzi.

Now the farmers on the village are busy watering the farmland, so there are still many people in the field,

Leaving the official road, Xuan Shijing went to lead the horse and walk on the path in the field, looking at the green wheat in the field, he felt relieved for a while.

Looking around, there are all wheat fields and hard-working farmers, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Looking at the rise of the wheat in the field, as well as the water accumulated in the artificial lake and the canal, it can be predicted that this year will definitely be a bumper harvest year.

Not far from the wheat field, there is a basic wheat field, where farmers are busy in the field, and the children in the village are playing in the field.

Compared with the prosperity of Chang'an City, Xuan Shijing yearns for the ordinary life in this Zhuangzi, but it is not the time to live in Zhuangzi with his family now.

"Master Hou is here." Walking to a small path next to a farmland, an old man in his fifties was sitting on a field ridge to rest, eating some dry biscuits and drinking some water, when he saw Xuan Shijing approaching, he quickly stood up to say hello.

Xuan Shijing stopped, put the reins on the horse's back, walked to the side of the old man, and sat down on the spot.

"You don't need to be polite, old man, let's sit together for a while." Xuan Shijing whispered.

"Hey." The old man responded and sat on the side, then picked up the coarse cloth that was originally covering the basket, and handed it to Xuan Shijing: "Master Hou, let's put a cushion, the ground is very damp."

"It's okay, I'm not so delicate." Xuan Shijing smiled and replied.

Compared with the clothes on Xuan Shijing's body, the coarse cloth is not eye-catching, but it is also used to cover the food basket, how could Xuan Shijing directly make it.

"Old man, I just took a look at the crops in the field. The growth rate is gratifying. This year must be a good harvest year."

"Yes, it snowed a few years ago, and in the spring we have enough water to irrigate these farms, so we can have a good harvest." Talking about the farms in the field, the old man couldn't stop his joy.

It is great luck for farmers to have food to eat. Being able to collect more food means that the whole family can eat a few meals of meat throughout the year, make some clothes, and even send their own dolls to school.

"Listen to Master Hou, but do you know something about the crops in the field?" The old man was puzzled.

Those princes and sons like Xuan Shijing who know what's going on in the crop fields are really rare.

Xuan Shijing used to go to the field when he was a child. At that time, Xuan Shijing was still young, and his grandparents were going to the countryside. Every summer vacation, his parents would take Xuan Shijing to the country to spend the summer vacation with his grandparents, and they often went with him. What I like most about working in the field is that after the wheat is harvested, the land will be plowed up again, and the soft soil underneath will be turned up to the ground. It is wet and soft, and it is very comfortable to step on it with bare feet. At that time, The little friends he met in the countryside would take him to run barefoot in the fields, come and go, until the apprentice was trampled hard, and finally he was reprimanded by the adults.

It's just that this kind of day can't go back.

After regaining consciousness, Xuan Shijing smiled and responded: "I don't know much about it. I used to plant land with Daoist Yuan when I was in Longxi, so I also know a little bit. The land in Longxi is not as expensive as that in Guannei. Most of the land in Longxi is very expensive. It's all sand, or it's forests, there are very few places where people can cultivate, Yuan Daochang also opened up a small field at the foot of the mountain, and at that time he had nothing to do all day long, so he helped take care of it."

Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, the old man remembered that his Lord Hou had never enjoyed the life of a rich kid in Chang'an for a few days when he was a child.

All the households in the Zhuangzi knew about Xuan Shijing's poisoning, and they complained about Xuan Shijing's grievances. Even if it wasn't his master's family, a three or four-year-old doll would be treated like this if he provoked anyone. Almost lost his life.
