Jiang Chenzhi's birth made Jiang Anyi feel that his status had plummeted, and the whole family revolved around the little baby who couldn't speak, and all the topics had to turn to Jiang Chenzhi as long as he said three sentences.

Several times Jiang Anyi meditated and breathed, and was so startled by the sudden cry that he almost went mad, but fortunately, his realm has improved now, and his mind is more stable after practicing Mingyu True Skill, so there is no accident.

Although Dong'er hoped that her husband could be by her side, she still considerately asked Jiang Anyi to move to the study, and Jiang Huang lived in happily to take care of her precious grandson.

In May this year, Jiang Anyi dismissed three officials and one official, and now the atmosphere in the Yaluo County is clear. Walking in the yamen, everyone was frightened when they saw the county master, avoided it from a distance, and met face-to-face at the bend, either standing straight and not daring to come out, or bending down and waiting for him to walk out of the distance before daring to stand upright.

Jiang Anyi was a little disappointed, he felt that he was quite kind, and he was smiling when he saw everyone, and ordinary people of all ages would greet him warmly when he walked on the street, how could everyone in the yamen be afraid of themselves like tigers.

Qin Zixiong joked with a smile: "Anyi, after you came to Fuluo County, you first drove away Xu Mingyuan, killed Zhang Putian, and forced Su Changhe to death; then brought down the two kings, exterminated Huangyang Village, and Xu Mingyuan finally died in your hands; Immediately after cleaning up the officials, a large number of people were dismissed, and you can be regarded as a 'famous murderer' in Fuluo County. These officials and servants are begging for a living under you, how dare they not be careful, if they anger you, they will lose their jobs at least, and at worst they will be imprisoned. ”

The people live and work in peace and contentment, the yamen is idle, even if there is something Liu Jiusi and Qin Zixiong with the officials to handle it properly, Jiang Anyi went around twice inside and outside the county ya, and saw the officials and officials who were hiding from him, and felt bored, so he simply stole half a day of leisure and went out of the city to hunt with stones.

The stone horse was running happily, and he was bored during this time, and Zhen'er was busy taking care of his younger siblings, so he didn't have much time to play with him. There are too many uncertainties in the Yuan Xuan Mind Method, Jiang Anyi didn't dare to teach people casually, and even his younger brother An Yong didn't teach it, but Mingyu Zhengong has been tempered thousands of times, and it is mainly quiet, Jiang Anyi has already taught it to Shi some time ago.

Shi is very talented in practice, and in just two months, he has a sense of qi in his body, and he has a first glimpse of the Yi Arrow Heart Bow taught by Jiang Anyi. A pheasant flew on the side of the road, and there was no stone to aim, and it seemed to be a random arrow, and the pheasant fell in response.

Jiang Anyi didn't need to look to know that this arrow passed through the pheasant's eye, and it couldn't be more accurate. suddenly remembered that his archery skills were passed on by Xu Changhua, and after many years, I don't know how he is now. At the same time, the figure in yellow clothes floated in his mind, Dong'er had already given birth to a son for him, what happened to Tong'er now?

"This pheasant is really fat, just for Sister Dong'er to make soup to replenish her body. I shot two more and sent them to Mr. Zhang, I heard Zhen'er say that Sister Zhuzhu's milk is insufficient, and the pheasant soup is better for milk. ”

The words of the stone interrupted Jiang Anyi's reverie, and looked up at the surroundings, Jiang Anyi remembered that not far in front of him was Huangni Village, and he had been out of the city for an hour, and he was a little thirsty, Jiang Anyi thought of Huangni Village to ask for a glass of water to drink, and it was almost time to go back.

The road into the village was newly repaired, wide and flat, and the ruts on the ground were very deep, and it seemed that horse-drawn carriages often passed by. There is a compound at the head of the village, there is a young woman feeding the chickens, Jiang Anyi and Shi are reining in the horse in front of the courtyard, and the young woman sees the living person and enters the house with a dustpan.

The stone tied the horse's reins to the fence of the courtyard gate at random, Jiang Anyi looked at the courtyard, a row of houses on the east side should be newly built, and the thatch on the roof was showing a green green color. There are scaffolds in the courtyard, and a few loofahs hang down, swaying in the wind, looking pleasing to the eye.

An old man came out of the house and asked in a loud voice: "The guest is here to buy medicine, but unfortunately, my family's medicine was sold a few days ago, please be early next year." ”

Jiang Anyi remembered the patriarch surnamed Huang near this old man, because his mother was also surnamed Huang, so Jiang Anyi also chatted with him at last year's township elder conference.

"Uncle Huang, in less than a year, why did you forget me." Jiang Anyi smiled with a smile.

The old man squinted his eyes and took a few steps forward, "Alas" and said, "Isn't this Lord Jiang?" Why did you come to my house, please come to the house, I said what is the name of the magpie this morning, this is really a celebration of Chaimen. ”

Jiang Anyi saw that there were a few bamboo chairs under the scaffolding, and said with a smile: "You don't need to enter the house, just sit under the shed, walk thirsty, and beg for a glass of water to drink." ”

Huang Laohan shouted loudly into the room: "Gui Ying, take Daddy's good tea leaves to soak in water and entertain distinguished guests." ”

Jiang Anyi listened to Huang Laohan's good conversation, and said with a smile: "Huang Laohan has read? Chaimen Youqing is not something that can be said casually. ”

Huang Laohan smiled and squinted, and said: "But I can't afford to be praised by the champion, the old man studied in a private school for a few years when he was a child, and he didn't hide it from adults, he was still a child, but he repeatedly failed to pass the exam, so he had to work as a farmer at home." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a senior, disrespectful." Jiang Anyi got up and shook against the old man, making Huang Laohan so happy that he had nowhere to put his hand.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman came out with two bowls of tea, Huang Laohan took it and handed it to Jiang Anyi, and said with a smile: "Countrymen, there are no tea cups, please forgive me." ”

Jiang Anyi took the bowl, the water was warm, and the tea leaves were not boiled, but he didn't pay attention to those when he was thirsty, so he poured it down in one go, handed the bowl back, and thanked him. The woman looked at Jiang Anyi curiously, this is the county master, the legendary champion.

The old man glared at her, and the woman laughed coquettishly, turned around and danced back to the house. Huang Laohan said apologetically: "The dog girl grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and she doesn't know the etiquette, so don't be surprised by adults." ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "I also grew up in the countryside, so I love is innocent and lively, similar to my little sister, and it seems kind." ”

There is a plum tree in the courtyard, the fruit has bent the branches, the stones are ripe and picked, and they are sent over with clothes, Jiang Anyi is not very sour, he played with one in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how many people are in the family?" ”

"The old man's mountain wife died the year before last, three sons, two daughters and five grandchildren, and the sons have all become families, leaving this old girl who has not yet married, and has already promised a family, and will marry out next spring." Huang Laohan became a little sad.

There was the sound of children slapping in the house, followed by shouting. Jiang Anyi asked: "The county has implemented 'tax integration into one', and life is better?" ”

"It's much better", Huang Laohan became excited, "Although the field tax has increased a little, but the levy and the ding tax are spread in it, it is almost the same, the key is that the apportionment in the county is gone, and the people from the yamen do not come to ask for money, and this day is more than before." ”

Huang Laohan started talking, and counted the family's income with the county commander with his fingers: the whole family has 80 acres of fields, except for 28 acres of real fields, they are all mountain fields. There is also going to the mountains to collect medicine, and the whole family can have more than ten items in this alone. The old man did not divide the family, the money was managed by Huang Laohan, and the old man quietly told Jiang Anyi that he secretly added some more dowry for the old daughter, afraid that several daughters-in-law would know.

Huang Laohan sighed: "Several daughters-in-law are sensible, but also diligent, there are mountains at home, the three sons of the old man have gone up the mountain to reclaim the wilderness to plant tea trees, the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law went to help, the third daughter-in-law and the old daughter-in-law cook and deliver meals at home, and take care of a few children." ”

Jiang Anyi smiled and asked, "How old is my grandson?" ”

"The eldest is eight years old, and the youngest is only three years old, and there is no peace all day long." Old Man Huang scolded in his mouth, but there was a happy smile on his face.

"Thanks to the blessing of the adult, this year's days are better, the old man wants to gather the people of the clan at the end of the year to discuss, invite a gentleman in the coming year, teach the children in the clan to read and reason, the three sons of the old man because of the poverty of the family, were delayed by the old man, but he dare not delay his grandson anymore." Huang Laohan sighed, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened, he raised his head and said with a smile: "The old man is quite strong, and he can do it for a few years, and he always dares to close his eyes when he sees his grandchildren entering school. ”

The sunlight poured down on Huang Laohan's face from the cracks in the melon shed, and his wrinkled face was full of longing and happiness.
