The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 361 Refreshing oil (1)
But Zhan Yi was not there, and there was no one in the simple shed.

Hao Ren went up to touch the fire, it was still hot, he should have just left.

Hao Ren searched around again, and finally found Zhan Yi's letter in a bird's nest on a tree that had been marked with a code.

Zhan Yi was very careful, he didn't address him, he didn't leave his name, only seven big characters - I'm going to Tiancheng to wait for the master!

Hao Ren turned on the oil lamp, burned the note, paused, and quickly descended the mountain.

When Hao Ren went back, Hao Dan was waiting for him with his eyelids open. Seeing him come back, he felt relieved and fell asleep after muttering a few words.

Hao Ren stared for a long time before falling asleep.

The next day, Leng Ping took someone to the field, but Hao Ren planned to have a frank talk with Hao Shi.

Hao Shi also seemed to have these thoughts, and sent Hao Dan, Shi Shi, Hua'er and others away, leaving only her and Hao Ren in the family.

"Mother, what did you go up to the mountain yesterday?" Hao Ren asked straight to the point, "Are you going to see Zhan Yi?"

Hao looked at him, "I don't know what you're talking about, I want to talk to you about going to Tiancheng, let me say it again, I don't agree with you going to the Imperial Academy, aren't you very familiar with Mr. Li? Let go of his relationship and arrange you in Licheng!"

Hao Ren saw that Hao was pretending to be confused, so he stopped asking, but insisted on going to the Imperial Academy, "Mother, this is the emperor's personal appointment, if you disobey it, you are disobeying the order!"

When Hao Ren heard that if Hao Ren didn't go to the Hanlin Academy, he would be defying the decree and would be beheaded, he immediately collapsed on the chair and couldn't regain his senses for a long time.

Hao Rensheng was afraid of scaring Hao Shi, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, I have already discussed with Mr. Li, I can take you to Tiancheng, let's rent a small courtyard to live in, and wait for three years when I officially assign official positions. When we have money, let's buy a house in Tiancheng to live in!"

When Hao Shi heard that she was going to Tiancheng, she quickly shook her head, "I won't go to Tiancheng, Ren'er, I want to guard your father, if you want to go, go by yourself!"

Hao Ren looked at Hao Shi in embarrassment, "Mother, I don't trust you to stay here, you should go to Tiancheng with me! Mother, you said earlier that I would be in danger if I went to Tiancheng, look, I have come back safely? Don't worry, Tiancheng is not a land of tigers and wolves as you imagined. Tiancheng is very prosperous, much more prosperous than our inner city. There is also a salary in the Imperial Academy, but it is less. Our family will work harder for a while, and later I really assigned an official position..."

"Don't talk about it, even if you want to go to Potian, I won't go to Tiancheng, Ren'er, if you want to go, you can go by yourself." Seeing that the deal was done, Hao had no choice but to say, got up and entered the house.

Hao Ren was about to catch up, but Hao Shi closed the door.

Hao Ren frowned, with doubts in his eyes.

Hao Ren lived at home for three months. During these three months, there were constant socializings, more than when he was just elected, but Hao Ren was much more used to it than before, and he often went out to socialize. Two out of three days Without being at home, it was slowly entering May, and it was almost the day when Hao Ren would leave home.

In the days that followed, Hao Shi never raised any objection to Hao Ren's going to the Hanlin Academy. Instead, he tried to find ways to cook all kinds of food for Hao Ren every day, and made clothes and shoes for Hao Ren in his free time. can't leave it alone.

Leng Ping turned her focus to the cultivation of medicinal materials. Every day at home, there is no intrigue between modern times and Tiancheng, and her life is simple and peaceful.

Dragon Boat Festival, May [-]th, was supposed to be the day when Hao Ren left, but because Dragon Boat Festival is a holiday, the Hao family let Hao Ren stay for another day.

A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Leng Ping went to Licheng to buy expensive rice and red dates, and took Haodan to the river to pick reed leaves, boiled them in a pot, dried them in the sun, and prepared to make zongzi.

Zongzi is a rare item in the countryside, and only during the Dragon Boat Festival, there is a shop in the inner city that sells zongzi. Most of the adults buy one for the occasion and to satisfy the children’s gluttony. It’s really not bad to make it yourself like this. more common.

If it was in the past, Hao Shi would definitely feel sorry for the rice money.Licheng is a place that is rich in wheat and corn. The rice is shipped from Tiancheng, so the price is scary. But this time, because Hao Ren is leaving, Hao shi has to go all out and move a small bench to sit on it. In the yard, I washed rice with Leng Ping and prepared to make zongzi.

Hao Dan went to the field to graze sheep early in the morning, and picked up grasshoppers by the way.

Although tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, it will still be cold in the morning and there will be frost. The children in the village will get up early and go to the field to pick up grasshoppers whose wings are wet and unable to fly. Pick up a big jar, and then pickle it with salt water, just like adding a dish to the family.

Leng Ping handed over all the money that Hao Ren brought back to Hao Shi, and Hao Shi put it away. After thinking about it, Hao Shi got used to frugality, so the life of the Hao family basically didn't change much.

Around noon, Shitou asked for leave and came back, planning to send Hao Ren away in a few days.

At this moment, Hao Shi wrapped the rice dumplings silently, raised her eyes and glanced at Leng Ping, "Ping'er, are you really not going with me?"

Leng Ping told Hao Shi that she would not follow Hao Ren to Tiancheng a month ago.

"Mom, haven't I already said that Hao Ren is still young, and it's a joke to drag his family around at such a young age! Besides, he is studying in the Imperial Academy. If I go, he will still worry about me, isn't it to let me go?" Is he distracted!" Leng Ping said while pinching the reed leaves.

After hearing this, Hao was very comforted. If other people were in such a situation, this daughter-in-law would have cried and shouted to follow. After all, Hao Ren is now the number one scholar and is outside. ... This kind of thing is really not unheard of, but Leng Ping seems to be very relieved of Hao Ren.

"You are so reasonable, I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart, but Ren'er has been away for three years, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back during the Chinese New Year, so you really don't worry?" Hao asked again.

"What's there to worry about?" Leng Ping raised her eyebrows indifferently. Hao Ren found a girl she liked outside, and she felt relieved. Now that the old house is back in her hands, she just needs to move out of Hao's house!
Hao Shi nodded and said: "You just need to be at ease with him. Don't worry, Mother will also tell him. You must not let him do something that I'm sorry for you!"

Leng Ping smiled indifferently.

It was rare for Hao Ren not to go out to socialize today. Through the open window, he looked at Leng Ping's side face who was scrubbing rice in the courtyard.She was smiling, her smile was relaxed, and there was no intention of parting at all, Hao Ren suddenly felt extremely flustered.

"Brother!" Hua'er's soft voice broke Hao Ren's thoughts. He looked back and saw Hua'er standing timidly at his door.

"Hua'er, come in!" Hao Ren stretched out his hand towards Hua'er.

Hua'er obediently stepped forward and took Hao Ren's hand.
