Chapter 46
When Jiang Qing walked out, he closed the door and looked back, his handsome face thoughtful.

Isn't it because the mother is eager to find the mysterious master to do something for her father?
Since it is the content of discussing legal affairs, why can't he hear it.

However, Jiang Qing was a filial son. The old general died unexpectedly, and his mother was deeply affected. She was in various health conditions and almost choked to death even when she drank water. As a result, he was so busy these days that he didn't even have time to watch the funeral. Now he is free. Without worrying about what his mother and the master had to discuss, he immediately went back to his father's lattice to keep vigil.

inside the house
Zhou only had one eye left and could not see anyone clearly. She asked respectfully in a low voice: "Is this Master Xuanji?"

The figure looks a bit different. Master Xuanji doesn't seem to be that tall.

Xuan Ling: "I am the master's No. 15 apprentice, Xuan Ling. The master has something to do and it is inconvenient to show his face, so he specially sent me to help Mrs. Jiang."

Mrs. Zhou was anxious: "If Master Xuanji doesn't come, what can we do! The fortune of the weak family has changed, and there must be some expert guidance. My family has been in bad luck one after another!"

Xuanling curled his lips lightly: "Don't worry, there is no one in this world who is better than my master, and I am the disciple who has mastered the master's true biography among the many apprentices of the master. Next, you just listen to my arrangement!"

The previous fourteen senior brothers either failed to continue their lives or died after failing to ascend. Now he has become the apprentice with the largest master and the highest cultivation level.

The master said that it would be his turn to renew his life next time and taught him the techniques of renewing his life and seizing his luck.

Of course, four more children need to be found to extend the life. It is best to have children with good fortune and longevity. They have good fortune and long life.

This time he came to Shaxi County to find a child with good fortune.

After hearing what he said about the true inheritance of Master Zuo Xianji, Mrs. Zhou felt calmer and said, "Master Xuanling, whatever you tell me, I will definitely do it."

"The luck of the general's mansion has indeed changed. This is a backlash. If you need to change your luck, you need to find a few children between three and ten years old..."

Zhou immediately thought that the weak family has nothing but the most children!

When we woke up in the morning on the fifth day, the sky was still cloudless, with no sign of rain at all, and the sun was even very bright.

The village chief got up early in the morning and walked around the whole village: "Today is the last day. Everyone, hurry up and send me the new grain that will be paid to the public. If you are later, you will not be able to reduce the ten kilograms of grain. Everyone, hurry up and get the new grain in the fields." The grain has been harvested, and the day predicted by the National Master is coming soon!"

When the villagers saw the sun in the sky, they regretted it. When the village chief shouted, some people couldn't help but come out and said: "Village Chief, do you think it will rain in this weather? What a bullshit, the national teacher made me harvest the rice in advance." , losing dozens of kilograms of grain in vain!"

"No, seeing the sunny days every day, I regret it to death! My rice is only half-ripe! Now that I have harvested it, I don't know if I can store it. The next year's grain will be gone!"

"I'm afraid this new county magistrate is greedy and wants to defraud us of our food! I won't pay!"

Mrs. Lei just came back from drying the rice in the grain drying field. After hearing everyone's words, she couldn't help persuading her: "The national teacher has predicted, can there still be fakes? Everyone should hurry up and harvest as much grain as possible, and wait until the grains are gone." I didn’t even cry when I received it!”

Baocai's grandfather: "The national teacher prophesied. Anyway, I don't believe it. I won't harvest a single grain! Is there a flood in autumn? I haven't seen it in decades! I saw it the other day, and the county magistrate seemed to listen to it." After listening to Xuan Bao's words, I said that the tax will be reduced. Where is the national teacher? Made it up! Lei Shi, is it because your family does not have enough food, and you want everyone to reduce production, and follow your family to be hungry, so you deliberately fooled people?"

"Isn't it? Can't you? The county magistrate is not so stupid, even Xuan Bao believes it? Isn't this killing people? My family has collected all the food! It is dozens of catties less than the old year!"

"My family took half of it, and I regret it to death! What Xuan Bao said, can't be true?"

Mrs. Lei naturally didn't want Xuan Bao to be involved: "Believe it or not! The notices posted by the yamen are clearly written. If you don't believe what the state teacher says, who do you believe? It has nothing to do with my family's Xuan Bao. If my family's Xuan Bao says it will rain , Do you believe it? You will go to harvest rice! Are you stupid to be a county magistrate? It is unreasonable!"

After saying that, she left in a hurry, too lazy to talk nonsense with these people!
After hearing these words, the village chief couldn't help but said: "What nonsense, the county magistrate is an idiot? If the national teacher hadn't predicted the flood, he would spend a lot of money to buy wild bamboo shoots, and he would spend a lot of money to hire people to reinforce them. Dams? You should take care to harvest the grain in the field quickly! Otherwise, there will be floods, and you will regret it!"

He hated the weak family so much that she said shamelessly: "Yes, everyone has harvested the grain. What do you regret? If it doesn't rain, we will go to the weak family, the village chief, and the government to compensate for the grain! If it rains, Just make money!"

Old man Zhen: "That's right, pay for the weak family! Find the village chief for compensation! These days, the weak family members have said that they believe that there will be floods in all likelihood, and that everything in their fields has been harvested clean! If there is no flood at that time, we will find the weak family to pay for it!"

"The weak family's rice has grown very well this year, and they are more than half ripe. Of course they harvested cleanly!"

He Shi: "That's right, the weak family has a bumper harvest. The sweet potato is thicker than my thigh. Mrs. Lei took the lead in spreading rumors and let many families collect the grain together. Everyone should ask them to pay for it!"

If she dares to divorce her daughter, people from weak families will never have an easy time!

Even if it can't cause any loss to the weak family, it's good to respond to the weak family!

……

The village chief's black face: "It's simply unreasonable!"

Ignoring them, he continued to walk towards the end of the village while shouting loudly: "Those who have collected grain, please send your taxes to me quickly. The people from the Yamen will come to collect them later!"

The village chief is now afraid that there will be floods if it rains innocently, and he is also afraid that it will not rain, and his mood is extremely complicated!

Weak family
Wu Shui climbed up the bamboo ladder, and Mrs. Liu handed him a round dustpan filled with sunflower seeds.

On the roof, several round dustpans of different sizes have been placed, on which are dried sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, peppers, peanuts, red beans, mung beans, soybeans, black beans and other beans of various colors.

Looking around, almost every household in Xishui Village has round dustpans of different sizes on the roofs, on which peanuts, sesame seeds, and beans of various colors are drying, colorful, high and low, and stretching endlessly.

The scene looked spectacular, as if even the air was filled with the joy of harvest.

The weak family only planted soybeans, and the other beans were given by the villagers who had good relationships with them. They thanked the weak family for buying wild bamboo shoots at a high price.

Other villagers tried to steal the business from the weak family and sold it at a restaurant at a low price. As a result, the shopkeeper of the restaurant looked through it a few times and found that their bamboo shoots were of different types, old and young, of different sizes, and they did not accept them at all. No one wanted it in the market, so they had to sell it to the yamen for a penny and a catty.

Therefore, those families are more and more grateful for the kindness of the poor families. When delivering wild bamboo shoots to the poor families, they also bring one or two pounds of beans harvested at home to the poor families.

There are many dried vegetables hanging on ropes in the corner of the yard, which are all cabbages and mustard greens harvested from the fields. There are also rows of bacon and sausages hanging under the eaves, as well as a few cured ducks and rabbits.

Ruoxuan stepped on another ladder, lying on the back of the tile, watching the yard full of food, very satisfied: "Mother, can you make some pastries in advance?"

"What kind of cake does Xuan Bao want to eat?" Mrs. Liu picked up another dustpan on the ground and handed it to her husband.

"Red bean cakes, mung bean cakes and fried rice cakes in the shape of rabbits and goats!"

Liu laughed, not understanding why her daughter liked rabbits so much.

Just because Ruoxuan likes rabbits and goats, Ruhe has been able to see them for the past two nights, so he makes various rabbit molds with different postures for Ruoxuan every night to make snacks and knock rice cakes.

"Okay, when your second aunt comes back, mother will let her do it for you."

Liu's cooking is delicious, but the dim sum is not as good as Jiang's.

The dim sum made by Jiang's is moderately soft and hard, sweet but not greasy.

Ruoxuan was satisfied, she looked up at the sun in the sky, sniffed, if she smelled it right, it would start to rain in the middle of the night tonight!

"Dad, after harvesting these rice and beans tonight, let's store them in the cave! We will take them out later and continue to dry them."

"Okay, Dad must move the family's food and valuables up the mountain before sunset tonight."

The weak family found a cave in the back mountain. Later, the weak old man dug the cave larger, reinforced it, and installed a door, specifically for storing food.

In the past, weak families had more fields and more food, so the cave could be filled with food every year. In recent years, the food has been so scarce that they don't even have to move it up the mountain, and the rice jars are never full!
Ruoxuan glanced at the yellow-green fields in the distance, where the endless waves of rice were rolling.

This rice field belongs to several villages. The villagers did not believe that there would be floods and were reluctant to part with the rice fields that were harvested early.

Only a few families followed their example and harvested all the crops in the fields.

Do your best and obey destiny, but everyone doesn't believe it. The county magistrate also sent people to the village many times to urge everyone to harvest rice, but no one did.

She can't control so much anymore, everyone has their own destiny.

Ruoxuan had seen enough of the harvest, and was about to climb down the ladder, when she saw the steward of the general's mansion approaching on horseback.

 Thank you to those who voted and rewarded, see you tomorrow!
