Chapter 281: A New Guest from Praise County
Chapter 281: A New Guest from Praise County
The spring breeze blew the weeping willows, and the birds stood on the branches.
The only difference is that there is no need to grab water this year, no one will be injured, and there is no need to look forward to the rain in the world, as long as there is water in the well, you can ensure that there is no shortage in the ground, and you are willing to carry water tired.
On this day, a team of more than 60 people, three large carriages with people, and more than a dozen carts loaded with goods came from the northwest of Dabaoxin County.
As soon as the team saw the boundaries of Baoxin County, they stopped, and from each of the three cars came an old man, one with his hands behind his back, one with his beard, and the other with a large meatloaf in his hand.
A group of little babies from nearby villages came around curiously, and they were not afraid of people, just like that, the little babies standing in the still cool river also stopped moving.
"Yuanzhi, I found out why the clothes worn by the baby here are better than those of Ruyang who passed by when I came? It's a place of urgency and prosperity. ”
The old man with his hands behind his back said to the old man with his beard.
"Yes, not only are the clothes good-looking, but the face is also ruddy, if it weren't for the rustic atmosphere between the eyebrows, no one would doubt it if it was a baby in the capital."
Old man Yao looked at the baby who came up to look at it curiously, and commented.
Old man Zhang swallowed the cake in his mouth, burped twice, and said: "This goes without saying, don't look at who is in charge here, people with ability have the ability to put it wherever they are, this is no lower county around Luoyang, if there is a lower county, the two little guys will go to the lower county."
Incompetent people want to find a good place to take advantage of officials, and capable people go to the kind of places that others can't look at, what do you fish? The old man exchanged the meatloaf with you. ”
In the middle of the river, a girl who made a small net pocket made of straw rope lifted the net bag, and replied in a crisp voice: "Grandpa, Xiang'er is fishing for river snails, exchanging money to buy chickens for her mother to replenish her body, her mother has been sick for a long time and is weak." ”
"Oh? Can you eat river snails at this time? "Old man Zhang doesn't understand anything, and the current river snail doesn't seem to have much meat.
"You can eat it, the largest restaurant in the county, Fengwuge, has a special dish of river snail soup, grandpa, your team is passing by? If you enter the county, you can't ride your horse, and you will be cleaned up. ”
Xiang'er walked out of the water as she spoke, took out a shell from her arms, opened it, rubbed it in it with a finger, and began to rub it on the back of her hand, rubbing it hot, and then smiled and looked at the team carefully.
The three old men knew what it was as soon as they saw the shell, the Zhang family's signature goods, hand oil, the price of this thing was not low after it was shipped, and the shell cost at least ten dollars, how did the little girl use it?
Looking at the texture of the shell carefully, I was more and more surprised, it turned out to be a coconut oil series, which is not something that can be bought for ten cents, where did the little girl come from?
Old man Bi asked with doubts in his heart, "Xiang'er, where did the shells come from?" ”
"My sister sent it, I tell you, don't want to rob me of my hand oil, my sister is a county official, a big official." Xiang'er took a step back vigilantly and said warningly.
"Jiupin County Cheng is also a big official? Who told you Xiang'er? Old man Yao laughed playfully.
"It's a big official, you dare to mess with my sister?" As soon as Xiang'er heard that her sister was young, she was not happy.
The three old men shook their heads at the same time, and the old man Zhang shook the hardest, "Don't dare, don't dare, who dares to provoke that girl, she will die, even if she doesn't use force, she will be entangled to death, how did Xiang'er know the county Cheng?" ”
"I met my sister the day I came, and my sister also asked people to send medicine to my mother, my mother's illness is finally cured, my sister and brother are good people, grandpa, do you know my sister?"
Xiang'er could hear that the tone of the three old men was very peaceful, not like the bad guys, and they moved forward again.
Suddenly thinking of something, he asked, "You can't be Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang and Grandpa Yao, right?" My sister told me that there were three old men, and it was fun. ”
"What's a good way to play?" Old man Bi didn't expect that in Juan Juan's girl's heart, the three of them were fun.
"It's just fun, saying that the three of you are not small, and you are always like a baby, it seems that it is really, eldest brother, second brother, come back after catching a toad, come to the guest, this one who always brushes his beard must be Grandpa Yao, Xiang'er invites you to eat braised toads."
Xiang'er judged that the three old men were the old naughty boys that her sister said, and shouted vigorously to the two brothers who caught toads in the field.
"Do you really want us to eat?" Old man Yao put his hand down and stopped brushing his beard.
"Please, the guests of the county and the lord are the guests of our county, and the enemies of the county and the lord are the enemies of our county." Xiang'er replied seriously.
Old man Zhang waved his hand, "Don't eat, don't eat, there are a lot of people, it's not enough to catch some toads, I'll wait to walk forward, Xiang'er is willing to accompany and talk?" ”
Xiang'er glanced at the team of the three old men, and found that it was indeed not enough to eat, so she caught a hundred toads, but one person and two could not eat them, so she puffed out her cheeks regretfully, and nodded again, "Then wait for Xiang'er for a while, Xiang'er is going to the county to sell things, so we can go together." ”
Xiang'er's two elder brothers brought a wooden bucket of river snails, as well as more than 200 toads that were covered with nets, and sent Xiang'er to the car of the three old men, and asked the names of the three old men uneasily, until Old Man Bi gave the two people a famous thorn, which allowed Xiang'er to go with them.
The three old men got into a car this time, plus Xiang'er, a total of four people, and walked slowly in the car.
The curtain of the car was raised, and he walked all the way to look at the paddy fields, and the people who were patrolling back and forth on the ridges, and the old man Bi suddenly had a feeling of returning to Sanshui County.
took out a few snacks from the drawer, put them in front of Xiang'er and asked, "Xiang'er, your clothes were also given by your sister?" ”
Xiang'er was not restrained, pinched the meat floss, put it in her mouth, touched the clothes she was wearing, and replied: "No, there are babies from other families, this is a plan in the county, oh, it's called the seedling protection action, and the money given by the rich businessmen in the county for digging wells is leftover, so it will be used to make clothes for the children in the county."
There is a lot of beans and eggs left, drink a big bowl of soy milk for the babies every day, and fry two eggs, so far the money has not been used up, and when it runs out, it is said that there are still people who take the money out, there is a rating in the county, people with more points, and the county can occupy a position in advance in the future.
At first, I thought that no one wanted to take this money, and then I didn't know why, the rich people rushed to take it, but they were afraid that it would be slower than others, and a few merchants said that they would find the master to build schools in various villages after the spring ploughing, and the baby didn't have to take anything at all.
The last time I went to the county seat to see my sister, my sister said that it was because of fame, the gentleman deceived him, and the villain lured him to profit, and the matter was good, and the means were not important. ”
Xiang'er can say whatever she wants, even if she doesn't know many things very well, but it's true that life at home is better.
The three old men listened, and when they heard it, they knew that it was Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's idea, and only the two of them could do this kind of thing, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, others have to rely up, who made their family's business big and their identities were different, once they missed it, they would regret it.
Old man Yao looked out of the car and saw more than a dozen people digging a pit on the vacant land next to him, and asked Xiang'er curiously, "What are they doing?" ”
"Dig ponds, plant lotuses, the land is not good, the grain production is small, it is used to plant lotuses, there are many wells in the county, don't worry about no water, my sister said, unified processing and unified sales in the future, there will be money when you plant it, my family also planted a lot of flowers, my sister said that it can be used to make perfume, packed in glass bottles, it can be exchanged for a lot of money, I can raise a few lambs by myself, and wait for the sheep to grow up and drink milk.
Everyone said that God had opened his eyes, and the saint also knew the hardships in the county, and sent the most powerful person in my Datang to come, I saw that my sister and brother were not good, and I Xiang'er was always laughing, not powerful, not powerful at all. ”
Xiang'er will only drink some milk with her sister when she enters the county, which is very delicious, and she will have her own home in the future, with a yearning look.
The three old men suddenly laughed when they heard Xiang'er's words.
"Yes, it is true that Your Majesty saw that you were not doing well, and sent the two most powerful people in Datang, this is not the other, it means that you have the ability, of course, you have the ability to your own people, and you are really powerful to people from other countries."
Old man Bi said with emotion, he had to admit that it was indeed a blessing to have two little guys in the place, and where they were sitting, the court could rest assured, not to be afraid that the people would have a bad life, not to mention worrying that the army of a certain country would suddenly come over, and what the court was discussing now was the issue of changing Baoxin County from a middle county to an upper county, just because Xiaobao and Juan Juan came over to be officials.
Xiang'er didn't know so much, and after listening to the old man, she asked, "My sister and brother are very capable?" Bigger than the Prime Minister? ”
"Great, what is the prime minister? The prime minister also changes every few years, and his actions depend on His Majesty's face, no one can change the two of them, and the emperor only has one face for them, a smiling face. Old man Yao finally found the gap between himself and the two little guys.
"How do you know that Jae is not as good as his brother and sister? However, I think so. Xiang'er shook her head and said.
"I'm also guessing, I'll ask Zhang Shuo when I have the opportunity, and ask him if he dares to fight for power with your brothers and sisters? He dares to fight with others, and he has fought before, see if he has the courage to play tricks with your brothers and sisters? ”
Old man Yao pursed his lips and said very firmly.
"So? Is Zhang said that he is the prime minister? What is it called? I've heard my sister say that he's also a very funny old man. ”
Xiang'er likes her brother and sister who are praised by others, and when she saw that there was still red water on the small table in the car, she poured herself a glass, raised her head and drank it, and clicked her mouth twice, "Sweet and sour, with grape flavor, drink it until it is hot in the stomach." ”
When Old Man Zhang saw that the little girl drank a large glass of wine, he hurriedly gave up his position, took out a blanket, waited for the little girl to have a place to sleep for a while, and covered it.
Xiang'er fell asleep in a daze after a while.
The three old men had to take care of Xiang'er again, and they didn't dare to speak loudly, so they could only mumble quietly, guessing what else Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could do.
