Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-]

The heavy rain stopped on the fifth night. Although it was not complete, it was already commendable, and I dared not ask for anything more.Waking up early in the morning, the outside was foggy and humid, the air exuded the fishy and sweet smell after the rain, the clouds above the head were still thick, and there were still drops of rain from time to time.I didn't feel like eating, so I inspected Zhuangzi together with the housekeeper. Except for the dozen or so houses that moved away, the other houses were pretty good. Except that the courtyard wall collapsed a lot, the houses were not in serious danger.Fortunately, the stagnant water in the canal has slowly receded and stopped overflowing.

"The old man wants to find some people to clear the canal today." The housekeeper pointed to the silted canal in front of him. "A lot of things rushed into it, and the water will pass through it quickly."

"Well, Uncle Qian sees a lot, just make up your mind, don't ask me all the time." I found a bamboo pole and poked it in the water a few times. Just get it from the mansion. It is impossible to build the collapsed houses these days. Dozens of strong laborers are nesting in the papermaking workshop. "It's my duty to be the head of the family to take care of my farmers. Even if they don't want to be favored, I have to find a way to let them get through the difficulties. Right now, this job is just right, killing two birds with one stone.

Steward Qian nodded and understood what I meant, "Do your best, old man, and don't make it too obvious. It's not good for the farmers to develop the habit of relying on the master's family. No matter what you say, what do you do with the support of the young master?" It’s much more secure.” The housekeeper squatted down and pulled out the big tree branch that rushed into the ditch, “Our ditch has not been cleaned for many years, so it’s just right to start construction at this time, and I’m not afraid that there will be more rain in autumn.”

"Uncle Qian, let's move to another place for building a new house this time. The area at the back is very concave, and it will collapse if it encounters heavy rain. I think the area in front of the village is not bad. Can it be used to build a house?" A piece of land near the threshing ground Empty, enough to cover a dozen or so courtyards.

"Young Lord, don't worry, the old man here is here to help, and try to make everyone settle down. You go home and have breakfast, don't make the two ladies wait." Seeing that I was rambling, the housekeeper began to drive me away, " The rain has stopped. Let the old man take care of the rest. You are the one who does big things, so don't worry about small things."

"Hey, I'll just pay Uncle Qian, and I'll be right back." The butler said the same thing, for an inexperienced novice like me, good intentions will inevitably do bad things, now that the danger is over.It's better not to interrupt.

"I'm afraid we won't see the sun for a day or two." Ying leaned on the door frame to look at the sky, her tone was still heavy, but her frown was already relaxed, "Don't hurry up to dry the grain. If it gets moldy, it will harm people."

"Why don't you put some charcoal in the grain depot, that thing absorbs moisture," After two days of training, I have learned to worry about these things.I really don’t know if I don’t experience it once. It’s really hard to manage such a big family. “The charcoal slag burned in the cold weather has been used as a pigsty for the farmers. It’s a pity, otherwise it will come in handy.”

"Well, I'll ask someone to do it. The rain is the most afraid of mildew." Before the breakfast on the table was touched, Ying was about to run to collect it. "The three of you eat first, don't wait for the concubine. Second daughter, please greet me here." Said and ran away.

Ying was not in front of me, the second daughter and the fourth child were obviously much more at ease, the second daughter knew how to pull me to sit down, the fourth child had already started to move like no one else was there, a bowl of oil tea was bottomed out a few times, and eggs all over the world were peeled.

"You can't drink too much camellia. It's hot. Be careful of getting angry." Seeing that the fourth child asked the maid to bring her camellia, I kindly explained.get along these days.I found that this girl had a sharper mouth than the second girl, and she ate and drank when she met her match, but she didn't move a chopstick if she didn't like her, she was very picky. "How about a bowl of malt porridge?"

"Camellia oleifera." The fourth child gave me a look, "I'm more stingy than my sister, so I'll eat more of your eggs." As he spoke, he touched another egg from the plate and cracked it.

"Okay, okay, I'll pick it." I deserve it, my sister-in-law obviously has this temper, and she ran up to get rubbed.He signaled the servant girl to serve quickly, and don't wrong this little aunt.It was the second daughter of my family who knew that she felt sorry for me, so she peeled an egg and handed it over with a smile, "You two eat slowly, I'll go to the front yard to have a look." Sitting at the same table with the two girls was uncomfortable, holding the egg that the second daughter had peeled Ran.I haven't paid attention to the flock of chickens for several days, and I don't know what's going on, so I take this time to inspect it.

Fortunately, the chickens are safe and sound, each one is fat and strong, and they run happily in the yard.The goose knows me now, sticking to my back and flattering me, gnawing at half an egg in my hand.

"Both of you, wash the goose. It's dirty. Gudong." I don't know where the mud came from. The white goose rolled into a muddy goose. It stood next to me, shaking its head and fluttering a few times. The egg was also stained, it was obviously intentional.The goose ate the eggs robbed by tricks, sang a few times, and went to take a bath proudly.It's okay, I'll change my clothes first.

I was bored, I played backgammon with two little girls for money, and I won more than 20 coins by letting the second girl come up first. The fourth child saw that I was a chess player, and it was profitable, so he pushed the second girl away to play in person.After all, the second daughter still leaned towards me, she gave me some pointers, and won a pile of copper coins from the fourth child in a row. Taking the opportunity to pick up the bargain, I picked up several handfuls of copper coins and prepared to run away, but it was too late.

"What are you doing?" Ying opened the door and came in. The kang was in a mess, and without saying a word, she gave each of the two girls a few chestnuts. Take care." On the kang, all the scattered coins were confiscated, and my hands were also snatched away, and I turned around and reprimanded: "Why don't you two hurry up and pack up the chess pieces? Wait until you get beaten?"

Hehe, Ying has to clean up the two of them.It's funny to see the fourth child climbing up the kang and earnestly cleaning up the chess pieces. The second daughter made funny faces at me while cleaning up. When Ying found out, she went up and patted her butt twice. To be honest, the fourth child gloated and snickered.

"Fight, if you don't fight, you won't be able to use it." I pulled Ying out and let the two girls breathe in the room, "Is the charcoal piled up in the granary?"

"Well, even Zhou Jiyun's family's money and food have been sent over." Ying saw that the two of them cleaned up neatly inside, and smiled for a while, "You're so used to it, don't talk about the second daughter, and the fourth will marry in the future." What about people. All the money is confiscated from this concubine, and you are not allowed to take the two of them to gamble." He weighed the bulging purse in his hand, and it was about to overflow. "They are all rich people, and they are so big when they play around at home, enough to feed a family for two months."

"I didn't talk to the Yun family beforehand. If you pull them over, they won't be able to keep it." Jianying leaned against the pillar outside the door, went in and brought a chair out to tell her to sit down, and handed her a piece of pea cake, "I haven't eaten yet." Bar?"

"I'm hungry, let's have lunch together." Ying kicked her shoes.Curled up on the chair, he took a bite of the snack comfortably, "It's tough, just like an egg. It usually fits perfectly without any flaws, and you can't find a place to start. But once you open a small mouth, even if it's as big as the eye of a needle, you can't eat it." Even if it's over. The girl from the Yun family is the same! The day before yesterday, I received a financial aid from our family. Even if I opened this hole, it would be difficult to accept it later. I didn't borrow too much for the first time. If I borrowed too much, I was afraid that she would get suspicious and strangle her. I gave her [-]% of the required amount first. I guess she is about to use it up and then pull some more, and I will accumulate it one at a time, haha." Ying looked up at me, wiped the scum on her lips and smiled Said: "Husband still doesn't believe it? We'll see later." He raised the purse in his hand, "Do you want to make a bet with the concubine?"

"Don't play with money!" I grabbed the money bag and put it in my arms.What Ying said made sense, since the Yun family pulled their faces down to ask for help, they couldn't get tough anymore.Moreover, the means were clever, and the accumulation of little things made more, step by step, driving the Yun family to a dead end.It was too late when Yun girl came back to her senses, "It's up to you now, let's finally take revenge."

"Hey!" Ying sighed pitifully, "It's not that she has to make trouble with the Yun family. In fact, the girl of the Yun family also has a temper with the concubine. If she has a good appearance, she must be capable after a few years of hard work. I can't be so cruel. The same goes for my concubine." Then he giggled.The sympathy on his face was swept away, and he was full of lust: "But there is no reason to give up halfway. No one wants the cooked duck to fly again, and the concubine is the same. The enemy is the enemy, even if our family Giving her money and food for free to help her pass the test, she is just thinking of love at most, and she will get the advantage of turning around, she will not be grateful to us for a few lifetimes because of this matter. But I ignored it, didn’t your husband teach students the principle of eradicating roots?”

I said helplessly, "It's fine." Ying was there that day when I was teaching Qin Yu, and now it's my fault.Anyway, got it right.You can't provoke a woman if you can't get along with anyone. Cheng Chu looks like a devil with muscle and muscles. If you get him, you can beat him at most. , hehe... Sister Wu Zetian probably has the same temper.Looking at the ground flower on the reclining chair, I was miraculously reminded of Her Majesty, the thousand-year-old queen who will be the queen of Megatron, and it will be five or six years later. I am looking forward to it.

Unexpectedly, someone reported in a short while that Yun girl had collected the money and food, and she would come to the door to thank her in person when she was busy.After hearing this, Ying showed off her flowers with a smile, and led the second daughter and fourth child to the back to pick out silk and satin clothes to celebrate.

On the third day after the rain stopped, the long-lost sun finally appeared, drying up like a vengeance, all the rainwater in the ground turned into moisture, and the whole body was uncomfortable like a steamer.According to experience, disaster-stricken people have to wait for the ground to dry out before they can evacuate the shelter. Not to mention the paper mill, Lanling has already issued an order that no one is allowed to drive the refugees away even if production is stopped; the dew water workshop is different, the fourth child obviously does not have a princess He complained over and over again that it would affect his business, and then he refused to go back to Wang's house confidently, claiming that he would watch over these people so as not to cause accidents in the workshop.

Early in the morning, when the second daughter and the fourth child went out, Ying asked me to talk about my sister-in-law for several days in a row, even taking up my morning exercise time.

"It's not a solution if you don't go back all the time," Ying looked at her younger sister and the second daughter laughing and worrying, "Let's leave our house and no one can care about her, and my parents are not around, so I know how to fool around all day long. manage?"

"Didn't you see the fourth child fooling around? I went to the workshop with the second daughter early in the morning and came home in the afternoon. How can I be called fooling around?" The ancient methods of educating children are full of prejudice. If a boy is wild and gangster, it is full of aura. Parents He will proudly say to outsiders: "The brat is used to being wild, and with this virtue, he can't be beaten." Then he turns around and kicks the baby: "Go away and play!" It is used to show that his child is solid and proud.It’s troublesome to put it on girls. Parents go out and stick to the wall for a walk, and they are embarrassed to say hello to acquaintances.Seeing Ying's frowning face, she comforted her: "It's the age of a change of temper, be careful and be silly."

"It's better than not even having an in-law's family." Ying thinks that being married is more important than IQ. Let your friends with status check to see if there is a suitable family."

"Don't bother me, don't you also have a bunch of friends of the princess, why don't you go to them?" Ying has nagged ten thousand times recently, and if I continue, I will collapse, "Women have a much better vision than men Now, with you as a talented and commanding lady, it's hard not to marry a big family."

"That's what you said, but the Chen family is a businessman after all, so how can the weight of my concubine's words be compared with that of my husband?" Ying was most dissatisfied with my dodging on this matter, strangled my neck and shook me wildly: "My sister is smart and looks Ye Jun, it's his family's good fortune to marry back, and with your brother-in-law backing him, he can't stand being wronged. It's better for a man to say this with a bit more force."

Ying's words are too unrealistic.Anyway, no one who is a sister says that girls are bad.Smart, I admit it, not ordinary smart, this handsome...needs to be discussed.My aesthetics are not good at all, even I didn't see how handsome my sister-in-law is, obviously she opened her eyes and was talking nonsense.Introduce to others according to Ying's words.If someone comes here in a bad manner, if there is a leak in the bridal chamber, it's fine to poke my spine.

Promise is not.If you don't agree, you won't be able to make it through. In the midst of a dilemma, the maid came to report, and Lan Ling came.That's great, I finally put the words aside, and said to Ying: "There are guests, please go and say hello first, I will talk about this next time."

"What kind of guest are you?" Ying gave me a sideways look. "It's the same as entering your own house. My husband caught the rotten wood in the water, so I can breathe a sigh of relief. Anyway, I'm going to talk to Sister Lanling about my sister now. She recognizes a girl like me, and she can ask for help." , is it not easy to shirk?"

"What are you talking about?" Ying said the three words "Sister Lanling" with a strange ambiguity.Also accompanied by provocative eyes.It made me feel uncomfortable all over, "Tell whoever you want to talk to. Just don't talk to me."

Ying took my arm and walked towards the vestibule, "The princess is really worried about my husband, she came here before the road was dry, she cares more about my concubine, ha ha."

"Isn't it the fourth brother's marriage? As for such a persistent mockery." He reached out and grabbed a piece of evergreen leaf from the corridor and stuffed it into her mouth, "If you don't finish, just stuff it in."

"Die," Ying spit out the leaves, pinched me a few times, and said with a smile: "Today, my sister and sister are talking, and I will let my husband talk when I can make sense of it. Don't grab it."

As soon as Ying saw Lanling, she affectionately pulled aside to talk, and didn't give me a chance to interrupt. After breakfast, Ying didn't give up, and invited the princess to watch the newly built garden, and the maid served snacks and tea. , I was too embarrassed to follow, and went to the study to distribute porcelain in a foolish way.Xigua didn't know if he had escaped the calamity, and finally hoped that Lanling would come over, so he didn't have time to speak.Bored, I took a brush and drew a circle, then changed it into the shape of a pig's head, then painted the pig's head into Hei Tuo Tuo, and then lay down on a soft chair and counted sheep.

"Sleep early in the morning, lazy." When he was about to fall asleep, Lan Ling came in, looked at the ink painting I just created, and said with a smile: "I must be missing me, and I am anxious to wait."

"How's the watermelon? Didn't the water soak it?" As soon as Lan Ling came in, I asked impatiently, and found that her face was not right, so I quickly changed my words, "Are you okay? Didn't let the water soak... oh, why did you hit someone?" !"

"Without conscience, I'm not as good as a watermelon!" Lanling beat the cattail fan in his hand for a while, sitting next to me and said softly: "I won't say anything that makes people happy. I just think about it , I'm sorry to say that I don't need to mention watermelon to annoy people."

"Hey, I'm like this, don't take it to heart." He scratched his head a few times, "Watermelon..."

"Alright!" Lan Ling said angrily, "If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have bothered to build a melon shed, the water soaked clean!"

"That's good, hehe," got up and poured the tea into Lanling's hands, "I'm busy these days, I don't have time to prepare, I plan to tidy it up today."

"I know you're busy, Wangjiazhuangzi is low-lying, I'm afraid that something will happen to you here, and I've been thinking about it all the time." Lan Ling put away the pens and papers on the table, "I'm coming to see you today, I don't plan to go anywhere else, as long as nothing happens."

"I miss you all, is there no water in your house?"

"There was no flood in my village, only a few houses collapsed, and there was not much loss. The paper workshop is not in a hurry, and the affected households are settled first. I have already scolded the shopkeeper severely, and I am too ignorant." Lan At this point, Ling rapped on the table, "Come here to give you good news."

"What?" I usually don't catch the good news that Lan Ling said, and there are not many people who can have something to do with money, so I pretended to be very interested and asked: "Hurry up, don't make a fool of yourself."

"Great victory in Koryo, the three generals have already taken Pyongyang down." Lanling was elated, with a tendency to dance, "Beheaded more than [-] people and captured [-] people. The Koryo royal family has already escorted them to Chang'an."

It can only be listened to as news, the result has long been expected, not surprising.Beheading [-] people, it seems that the Koreans resisted fiercely. Although indiscriminate killings are not ruled out, they must not be taken lightly.
