Chapter 195: Talking about the medium

On the way back to the city, Lu Bu walked side by side with Xice.

"General, do you really want to help Cao Xing talk about matchmaking?" Xi Ce asked curiously.

Lu Bu's eyes were determined, although it was the first time for him to say that this kind of thing was a matchmaker, but since it was related to Cao Xing's lifelong event, he had to go through it once.

Back in the county seat, the two walked to the eaves of a house with a closed gate according to the street direction Cao Xing said.

Lu Bu stood at the door, exhaled, and knocked lightly on the wooden door twice.

"Mother, Uncle Cao Xing is here!" The little boy who was 'dancing with a knife and playing with a sword' in the house heard the movement, his eyes suddenly lit up, put the wooden knife in his hand, and ran out in a hurry.

"Jun, run slowly."

The woman who was weaving also got up and cried out with concern.

The little boy ran behind the door, raised his head, reached out of reach of the wooden bolt, stood on tiptoe and tried hard, but he was still a long way off, and shouted anxiously into the house: "Mother, hurry up, hurry up!" ”

The woman walked to the door helplessly, looking at her son's happy appearance, and couldn't help but feel a touch of vinegar in her heart: Jun'er seemed to like his 'Uncle Cao Xing' more than herself.

The outer door opened, and there were two figures, one high and one low, standing under the eaves, unfamiliar faces that they had never seen before.

"What's the matter?" There was doubt in her tone.

"This is the chief secretary of the county guard's house, and he was ordered to visit the people's daily life."

Lu Bu introduced the joke, and in the latter's eyes full of consternation, he said without blushing and without a heartbeat. Then he briefly introduced himself: "I am the guard of the main book, surnamed Lu." ”

The drama is completely messy in the cold wind, which is completely different from the script that was said before, hey!

With a heart for soy sauce, he just wanted to join in the fun and see how Lu Bu was a matchmaker.

The result was good, and as soon as Lu Bu opened his mouth, he directly threw the pot to himself.

Seeing Lu Bu winking at him, Xi Ce felt extremely melancholy, but he also had to continue to perform this play.

never dreamed that he would be pitted by Lu Bu one day.

The four-year-old boy stood in front of the woman, for fear that the two men in front of him would bully his mother.

The woman with her hair in a bun pulled the boy back, then pressed her right hand on her left hand, bent her knees with her legs together, bowed her head and saluted: "I have seen two officials." ”

The two people in front of them are not like the government soldiers and officials they have seen before, and they don't look like people in the government in terms of momentum and clothes.

But the eyes of the two were pure, without the slightest distraction. Unlike other Meng Lang disciples, they always like to glance restlessly at themselves.

After hesitating for a moment, she welcomed the two into the house.

The two-foot long and wide room had a brazier burning in it, which was Xi Ce's favorite thing.

In addition, the four walls are made of rammed earth, which has an obvious warmth effect and warms the whole house.

Xi Ce found a place to sit down and glanced around the room.

When he saw the loom placed in front of the bed, the coarse cloth on it had not yet been completed, and he immediately became a little interested and asked, "How many feet can you weave in a day?" ”

"Sometimes seven or eight feet, sometimes thirteen or fourteen feet." She replied truthfully.

According to the preliminary estimate of Xice, according to the calculation of eight feet per day, with the current price of cloth, it is estimated that it can be sold for seven or eight thousand yuan in a year.

This is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

However, this is not the case.

Most of these fabrics are used to make new clothes for their families. When the new year arrives at the spring ploughing season, both men and women almost have to go to the field to farm, sow seeds and cultivate seedlings.

If you don't farm, you don't have food.

In that simple era, the land was the foundation of survival.

Of course, the main reason why the people could not save money was that the imperial court paid taxes harshly.

In addition, the land annexation by the wealthy families was serious, resulting in the loss of large tracts of farmland for the people at the bottom.

Not to mention saving money, being able to eat and dress is already the biggest luxury.

The little boy ran back and forth in the house, brandishing his shuriwooden sword, humming and humming, imagining himself to be a brave general on the battlefield.

Lu Bu walked over and said with interest: "Your wooden sword is good. ”

The little boy was not afraid of life, and raised his wooden sword as if he were a treasure, his face full of pride: "Of course, this was made for me by Uncle Cao Xing." ”

"Uncle Cao Xuan?" Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh a little.

The little boy thought that Lu Bu was underestimating his Uncle Cao Xing, twisted his little face, and said indignantly: "What do you know, my Uncle Cao Xing is very powerful, he can beat away four big bad ways alone." ”

"Oh? And here, tell me about it. Lu Bu was interested, but Cao Xing hadn't told him about it.

It turned out that Cao Xing was drunk in the county town that day, and he wanted to go back to the camp, but he walked to the door of this house in a daze.

There were four ruffians in the doorway, speaking all sorts of filthy and obscene words inside.

Cao Xing was unhappy at the time, although he was also a ruffian bastard before, but at least he had never made a living by bullying women.

He thought that these four scum were discrediting the profession of ruffians, and without saying a word about the strength of the wine, he stepped forward and started to do it.

As a result, naturally, the four of them were beaten away, and Cao Xing also suffered a blue nose and swollen face.

The woman in the house thanked Cao Xing and carefully applied herbs to his injured area.

It was such a small action that made Cao Xing's heart pound.

For the first time in his life, he felt that maybe he should marry a mother-in-law.

The next day, Cao Xing brought seven or eight strong men from the wolf riding camp and went to beat the four people from yesterday one by one.

He has always been a must-have.

Later, Cao Xing visited the mother and son from time to time, doing some hard work, and did not ask for anything in return.

The guy who likes to work hard has become a diligent and honest man in a blink of an eye.

This is something that Lu Bu never expected.

The drama over there was still asking about the food and clothing of the field farmers on weekdays, and Lu Bu couldn't help coughing lightly.

After the woman in front of him patiently replied, he pretended to be puzzled: "Why don't you see your husband?" ”

The woman's eyebrows were indifferent, and she said calmly: "I died on the battlefield three years ago. ”

She had been abducted so far, and she didn't have the slightest affection for this place and the man who took her body.

Later, the man went to the battlefield, and when he said goodbye, he was already a bloody corpse that couldn't even see his appearance.

Leaving them as a pair of orphans and widows.

She cried and complained.

But what can be done?

In the end, it's not about gritting your teeth and trying to survive.

Xi Ce was silent for a moment, and under Lu Bu's 'eyebrows', he spoke again: "Since it is too tiring to bear it alone, why not find another good fate?" On your terms, you don't have to worry about finding a good person. ”

"I'm afraid that Jun'er won't like it, and I'm afraid that others won't treat Jun'er well enough." Although the woman was young, she already had a son.

As a mother, no matter what, the first thing that comes to mind is always your child. 2510
