Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 179

Shi Liu nodded, "Of course it's strange. Officials are guarded by many people. What kind of government servants? Hurry up. Why do you need to practice swords by yourself? I heard that officials usually study when they have nothing to do."

The eldest prince laughed loudly, "We also read, and we read for a long time when we got up in the morning."

Shiliu felt that they were young, so they must not be high-ranking officials, so she stepped forward and said, "Where did you come from, what kind of officials are you, why did you pass the exam at such a young age, did you win the exam, is it difficult?"

The eldest prince couldn't help laughing, "Why do you ask this, is there a scholar in your family?"

Shiliu proudly said: "My man, Qian Feng, can read a lot of words, he can read any book at hand, and he can also write letters and articles. He just doesn't want to take the exam. If he really wants to take the exam, he wants to pass the exam." It’s definitely not hard to lift.”

The eldest prince laughed, "Is Qian Feng your man?"

Shi Liu nodded, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

At this time, even the little prince stopped and laughed together. It turns out that Qian Feng has such a woman, who is so stupid and cute.

Shiliu stared, "What's the matter? Is it bad for him to have a wife like me? He treats me very well, and even taught me how to read and write. It's just that women can't take the exam. If I can take the exam, maybe I can go there in a few years." Give it a try."

The eldest prince shook his head with a smile. He has been out of the palace for so long, and he has never seen this kind of woman. He is really ignorant and fearless. "Don't be ashamed, what words you can write, write on the ground for me to see."

Pomegranate picked up a stick and wrote a large character "Qian" on the ground, "This is my man's surname, surname Qian, isn't it a good surname? Even the surname has the word "Qian" in it, so I'm sure he can earn a lot of money in the future." !"

The eldest prince and the little prince squatted down to look at the handwriting written by Shiliu, and saw that her writing was very clumsy, no different from that of a child, so there is no need for an exam with this little ability.The two brothers were almost speechless with laughter, thinking that Shiliu must be out of his mind.

The eldest prince laughed for a while, and asked: "Qian Feng is just a small postman. What kind of money can he earn? If someone with the surname Qian can earn money, wouldn't it be that a bunch of girls are vying to marry someone with the surname Qian? It's over the top."

Shiliu said unconvinced: "Other people with the surname Qian can't make money, but Qian Feng can. He opened a stone workshop in our Yinshan Town and raised No. 50 beggars. The stone tables and benches in your house, There are also pen holders, inkstones, flowerpots, and vases, all of which came from our Yinshan Stone Workshop, and these styles were also thought out by Qian Feng himself, and it is said that such styles cannot be bought outside."

"Oh?" The eldest prince and the little prince said in unison. They didn't expect Qian Feng to have such a talent, and they really couldn't see it from the outside.

They thought that these beautiful decorations and utensils were bought from outside at a high price by the government. Although they looked very good, they didn't pay much attention to them.After what Pomegranate said, they felt that these things were really extraordinary.

Shiliu suddenly realized that she was talking too much, Qian Feng didn't let her talk to the two adults.

She immediately stood up, "Well... the two adults will continue to practice, I... I will feed the horses."

After breakfast, the two princes put the crickets caught by Jia Dapang into a fight in the yard, but this kind of wild crickets were too weak to fight, and they were dying after a short fight.The two of them felt bored, so they discussed when to leave.

The eldest prince said with great yearning: "It is said that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. This place should not be far from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Let's set off after lunch."

The little prince played with the vase on the table, nodded and said: "Okay, let's go after lunch. You see, this vase is even more beautiful than the flowers here. This Qian Feng is a capable person. Think about these things."

"You like it? If we like it, we can buy some and send them to the capital."

The little prince picked up the pen holder and inkstone again, "I like all of these, even the stone table and bench. Although those in the palace are all good things, they get tired of looking at them too much. Why don't you look at them?" interesting."

The eldest prince shook his head, "You, we bought a lot of things along the way, and those hidden guards who followed us all the way had to spend a lot of effort to deliver things back to the capital for you."

The little prince grinned and said: "Don't let the hidden guards deliver it this time. Let Qian Feng ask the government to send someone to deliver it one month after we leave. Let's leave him a document."

The eldest prince glanced at him, "Are you afraid that the hidden guards will go back and report to the royal father, and the royal father will scold you?"

The little prince was guessed right by his brother, and smiled embarrassedly.

While the two brothers were talking, a group of people came outside, the leader of whom was still wearing the clothes of a government servant.Fatty Jia went up to meet him, "I don't know why you are here, but there are two adults living here, you'd better not disturb the peace of the adults."

The leading yamen servant didn't dare to offend people indiscriminately, and he didn't dare to barge in after hearing Jia Dapang's mouthful of an adult, but politely bowed and said: "Listen to them, there were three people making trouble in the Liyuan last night, and one person was beaten. Disabled, the county magistrate ordered me to investigate, and I came here. Master Yi Cheng, please tell me, what are the two adults inside... What are their identities?"

Fatty Jia was very happy to hear the yamen servant respectfully call him Master Yicheng, but he never dared to tell the truth, and said in a low voice: "Last night, two adults took the postman to Liyuan to listen to the opera. It's not the postman, but the two adults, they are... they are... second-rank officials, even the county magistrate dare not look at them directly, so you don't care about it."

The yamen servant turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

After he finished speaking, he took the group of people away, for fear of getting into trouble.

The eldest prince walked over, "They came here because of what happened last night, what did you tell them?"

Fatty Jia stammered nervously, "My lord, my little one said...you are second-rank officials, and they scared you away."

The eldest prince nodded slightly, turned around and left.
