Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Old Zhoutou only remembered a few sons. After looking around, he asked, "The sixth and fifth are in the restaurant. Where did the fourth go?"

Mr. Fang looked at Man Bao.

Man Bao said: "The fourth brother went to do business. He went to Shangzhou to buy porcelain and sent it to Xiazhou, and then went to the grassland to collect medicinal materials with some of his friends."

"Isn't there any medicinal herbs at home?" Old Zhou Tou muttered: "The grassland, it is the territory of the Hu people, and it is too dangerous."

Man Bao said: "Dad, don't worry, the emperor has already subdued the Huihe and other ministries, and the grasslands now recognize His Majesty as the Khan of Heaven."

"Traveling in the Central Plains is likely to be looted by mountain bandits. Is the grassland safer than the Central Plains?" Lao Zhoutou is not stupid. Although he has little knowledge, he has also experienced two dynasties and seen the turbulent times.

It's just that Luojiang County was too poor, and Qili Village was too remote, and the war at that time didn't affect them temporarily.

But when he was young, he had seen many disaster victims who had fled to their county. He heard that the Hu people on the grasslands liked to eat human flesh, and even called them Han people two-legged sheep.

Thinking of this, Old Zhou shook his head and said, "Hurry up and write a letter to your fourth brother and ask him to come back immediately. I would rather do less business than gamble with my life."

Zhou Lixue couldn't help but said: "Grandpa, the fourth uncle took all the capital of our family, and the silk and satin cloth that my aunt got. If we don't do half of it, we will lose money."

"How can it be a loss? If you don't go to the grasslands to do business, you sell it to others. Anyway, it's a reward for nothing. If you sell it, you will earn a penny, and if you sell a tael, you will earn a tael." , but it's better than dying."

Man Bao thought for a while, and felt that her father was right, the grasslands are indeed more dangerous than the Central Plains, so he nodded, "But Dad, I don't know where the fourth brother is at the moment, even if I wrote the letter, I couldn't send it anywhere."

"He didn't say where he was going?"

"It is said that they left with the people from the bald department, but it is not certain whether they go to the bald department. Moreover, people on the grassland live by grass. Now is a good time for grazing sheep and cattle. It has been stopped at a certain place, and there is no post station there, how can I send the letter?"

Old Zhoutou's focus was on the wrong side, and he asked in surprise, "Why is there a tribe called the Bald Hair Section? Is there a multi-haired section?"

Man Bao:  …

Bai Shan couldn't help but explain: "Uncle Zhou, the bald department was originally a branch of Xianbei, Hexi, the Tuoba clan. When the Sixteen Kingdoms were in turmoil, the eldest son of the Tuoba clan's leader was named Tuoba Pigu, and his father did not let him take the throne. , Tuoba Pi was so angry that he led the tribe who were willing to follow him to leave the tribe. According to legend, because his son was born in a quilt, and the Xianbei language called the quilt 'bald hair', his father changed his surname to Bald. It is called Bald Shoutian, so their tribe has been called the Bald Hair Department since then.”

Old Zhou Tou touched the hair on his head and said, "The name of their tribe is not very good."

Man Bao also nodded and whispered: "I also think it's not good to get it."

Bai Shan: "...Didn't you see a few of Ah Liu Dun? They have a lot of hair."

The old Zhoutou pondered, "Maybe this is the same as dreaming, and it's all the other way around?"

Even if Man Bao couldn't agree with her father, she thought about it and said, "Because the kidneys are good, the kidneys are good, and the hair is not much different in general."

Now it was everyone's turn to be silent.

However, although Lao Zhoutou is old, he has no trouble with his hair, so he just discussed it for a while before throwing it away. On the contrary, he has a lot of hair, so whoever is bald should be worried.

Only then did Qian find the opportunity to talk to Man Bao, because Bai Shan was not an outsider, so she did not shy away from her, "Master Bai and Chengjia are guests, where did you arrange them?"

"It's in the back yard," Man Bao said, "there's another yard in the back. Master Bai goes to live in a yard with Bai Shan and the others, and the back yard is for the married family. It's spacious enough to live in. But They brought a lot of stuff, I'm afraid they have to make a room as a warehouse."

Qian said with a smile: "That is Miss Cheng's dowry. On the way here, the married family said that they would rent a yard outside to live in. I didn't see your house at the time, so I didn't dare to keep them. Since there is a spare yard, At that moment, mother and you will go to the back and leave the married family behind, so we can just prepare and get married here, and our family will also touch their joy."

"Hey, Miss Cheng got married from here, where will Big Brother Bai meet her?"

Bai Shan was also curious.

Qian Shi smiled and said: "On the way here, Mr. Bai has made a plan to buy a house in the capital. If he can't buy a suitable house for a while, he will borrow the house of Bai Shan's family and use it. In the end, it is the eldest son to marry a daughter-in-law, and it must be done beautifully. some."

One of the old Zhoutou added: "That's because Master Bai is not bad for money."

Then he looked up at their house and said happily, "Although our family is poor in money, our house is not bad, hahahaha..."

Old Zhou's family followed silly music, and even Bai Shan couldn't help laughing.

Man Bao doesn't mind this kind of thing. Anyway, there are many houses in the family, and each yard has a separate kitchen. They can live there if they want. She is still very hospitable.

But before that, she had to take her parents to turn over their entire family.

Fang's few did not follow, but dragged Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru, dragged Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu to pack up.

Most of the things they moved from the front yard are still in the yard and not put away.

Man Bao followed them to see Zhou Lixue's yard where they lived. Seeing that there were so many rooms vacant, the old Zhoutou exclaimed, "This is too wasteful. Where do the fourth and the fourth live?"

"Fourth brothers, they live in the front." The first yard that comes in through the side door is mainly open. The three brothers, Thursday Lang, Wu Lang and Saturday Lang live here. It is more spacious than when they were in Lao Zhou's house. Come out to the children's room.

When the children are older, if they can't live here, just throw the children in the yard where they live in Zhou Lixue.

After seeing the courtyard on the west side, Man Bao took them to the east side again.

In fact, the scenery on the east side is better, because this side is mainly the study, the living room and the garden, unlike the west side, which is just for the family to live in. The house is well built and the scenery is good, but the flowers are beautiful There is a little less hasty or something.

But Old Zhoutou didn't care about this at all, seeing Fang and the others had opened up the open space in their yard to grow vegetables, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's a pity to keep such a good place. "

Man Bao said: "Father, flowers and plants are also very expensive."

"Can you sell it?"

After thinking about it, Man Bao said: "Except for the precious flowers and flowers suitable for hairpins, the others can only be dried and sold in the medicine shop."
