I am old in the Han Dynasty

Chapter 172 Sericulture

Wei Qing didn't know how to answer the words, but also felt that he had to say nothing.Letting him think wildly alone will only make him more angry, "Your Majesty, Saburo didn't want to hide it from His Majesty."

"Can he hide it?" Liu Che asked back.

Wei Qing was speechless.

Liu Che took off his boots and cloak and sat on it.However, Liu Che was even angrier when he sat on it, because it was warmer and more comfortable than he imagined, "This Xie Sanlang..."

"Your Majesty, I know why Saburo didn't tell His Majesty." Wei Qing saw Liu Che's hands pinching the quilt and moving his feet, and his heart suddenly moved, "He is worried about catching fire."

Liu Che: "What's on fire?" It became clear when he asked, his Weiyang Palace was a wooden building, "Is this what I'm angry with? What I'm angry with is Shi Nie."

"Saburo may think that His Majesty knows that Shi Nie can replace charcoal." Wei Qing explained.

Liu Che sneered, "He didn't call you Brother Zhongqing for nothing."

Wei Qing blushed slightly, and said awkwardly, "This minister also guessed."

"Since you don't know, then shut up." Liu Che glanced at him, moved to the square table, and saw two pieces of white paper on it, one with good writing, and one with crooked words, Liu Che Picking up the crooked one, "Isn't this written by Ji'er?"

Wei Qing looked over, "Sanlang's. The one next to your majesty is the evidence." Wei Qing had seen Xiao Liuzhen's writing at the queen's place, "He didn't just eat and play with Sanlang, so let him stay with Sanlang. Give it a few more days."

"In a few days, your nephew's food won't look good." Liu Che put down the paper, "Let him come after the twelfth lunar month."

"It seems to be the voice of the father."

Liu Che shouted out, "It's not like it's your father."

"When did the emperor arrive?"

After the voice fell, the whole door was pushed open, and Xiao Liu Ju ran in.

Liu Che: "Just arrived." Seeing his tight eyes, he revealed a pair of eyes, "Aren't you hot?"

"It's hot. The third uncle said that if you don't wrap it tightly, you will be swollen from the cold." Xiao Liuju took off his hat and ripped off his scarf, and noticed that Liu Che was sitting on the kang, "Father, is it warm?" His eyes were bright. looked at Liu Che.

Liu Che nodded, "Warm."

"Can my son build one in the palace?" Xiao Liu told his real purpose.

Liu Che shook his head slightly, "No. The whole Weiyang Palace will be set on fire."

Xiao Liu was very disappointed, "Father and third uncle said the same thing."

Only then did Liu Che notice something was wrong, "Where are your third uncle and Xie Xiaoqi?"

"In the courtyard." Xiao Liu Ju pointed outside, "Father, my son picked up a lot of things. Third Uncle said enough for Huzi and Brother Hou to eat for five days." He stretched out five fingers.

Liu Che: "He still cleans up by himself?"

Wei Qing walked to the door and saw Xie Lang coming out of the next room with a pigeon cage, "Sanlang is busy with other things. Your Majesty, did I ask him to come over?"

Liu Che waved his hand and beckoned to Xiao Liu Ju.

Xiao Liuju stepped on the bench and climbed up, picked up the paper on the kang, "Father, my son wrote it."

"That's right, we've made progress." Liu Che cleaned up the square table and handed Xiao Liu a blank sheet of paper, "I'll watch you write."

Xiao Liu Ju couldn't help pursing his lips and chuckling.

Wei Qing turned around and wanted to laugh when he noticed this, and winked at Liu Che to let him see Xiao Liu Zheng's expression.

Liu Che hooked his head to see clearly, and smiled silently.Immediately after hearing footsteps, he turned his head and saw Xie Lang wiping his hands coming this way, sneered, and pointed to Shi Nie by the door, "Explain."

"Explain what?" Xie Lang subconsciously asked.

Wei Qing immediately answered, "Your Majesty, I have guessed correctly."

"Stop making excuses for him." Liu Che glared at Wei Qing, motioning him to shut up, "Stone Nirvana can be burned like charcoal?"

Xie Lang nodded, "Yes." After saying it, he realized later, "You don't know?"

Liu Che choked for a moment: "...Should I know? I'm not you, I know everything."

"No. Caomin don't know more."

Liu Che opened his mouth, wanting to ask what you don't know.When the words came to his lips, he took a deep breath, "I don't want to listen to you now."

"Caomin to cook?" Xie Lang asked tentatively.

Liu Che's answer was to turn around and watch his son write.

Xie Lang shook his head helplessly, winked at Wei Qing, and went out to speak.

Wei Qing followed him to the kitchen, "Is what you just said true?"

"When Your Majesty came over last time, I wanted to say something, but unfortunately it was ruined by what Jiang Chong did." Xie Lang said, "And then you will know, it's snowing." The topic changed, "There are rabbits and pheasants , what to eat?"

Wei Qing: "Rabbit stew. Keep the chicken for you and Xiaoqi. It's cold and you can eat some warm ones so you won't get sick, as you said before."

"Then steam the rice. It's too cold, and it's troublesome to knead the noodles with cold hands." Xie Lang looked across and told him to ask Liu Che.

Wei Qing smiled and said: "Your Majesty is not thinking about eating. If you cook white rice and stir-fried vegetables, Your Majesty will not say you are lazy. You wash the rice, and I will light the fire."

Xiaoqi came in carrying firewood, Wei Qing took it and asked him to wait on the opposite side.

This time I went a little far, and when I came back, Xiao Liu could not walk, Xie Lang carried him on his back, and the things Xie Lang picked up were carried by Xiao Qi, so that Xiao Qi was so tired that he just wanted to lie on the kang and wake up. Tomorrow morning, there will be no scrambling to light the fire with Wei Qing.

Xiaoqi washed his hands, took off his cloak and put it on the bench, climbed onto the kang, not allowing Liu Che to speak and stay away from him.

Seeing him sleeping on the other side, Liu Che couldn't help but say, "You're really good."

"My feet are smelly, I'm worried that it will smell to Grandpa Meng Da." Xiao Qi took off his cotton coat and pulled up the quilt, "If I fall asleep, don't call me to eat."

Xiao Liu couldn't help yawning after hearing the words, "Father, the baby wants to sleep too."

"Sleep after writing." Liu Che handed him a piece of paper.

Xiao Liuju rubbed his eyes, forced himself to finish writing, and then lay down on the kang.

Liu Che sighed, and wanted to hug him to Xiaoqi's side, but failed for the first time.Liu Che couldn't help but look at his hands, is he old?Looking up at Xiao Liu Shi, it was his son who had gained weight again.

"Xie Sanlang, what did you feed my son?" Liu Che couldn't help asking loudly.

Xie Lang: "Chicken, fish, meat and eggs, don't feed them randomly."

"How much do you feed him?" Liu Che asked again.

Xie Lang thought for a moment, "He didn't stretch his stomach. Three meals a day in the palace, but five meals a day here in Caomin."

"Five, five times, isn't it random feeding? You plan to feed him ten times." Liu Che couldn't help but stare at the kitchen, "I'll take Ji'er away today."

Xie Lang didn't even think about it, "Your son, when do you want to pick it up."

Liu Che opened his mouth and found that he couldn't refute, so he snorted coldly, got up and hugged Xiao Liu Ju to Xiao Qi's side.

Not a moment later, when Xie Lang had just cleaned the pot, Xiao Qi and Xiao Liu Ju woke up.

Fortunately, Xie Lang had the foresight to put the pot full of vegetables on the kang, the two children woke up sleepy, wiped their hands and faces, and sat on the kang to eat.

Seeing this, Liu Che couldn't help but said, "It's no wonder that I like you."

"Ji'er has good eyesight." Xie Lang glanced at little Liu Shi who was busy eating meat, "Ji'er, how about going home with your father today?"

Xiao Liuju said without hesitation: "Okay."

Liu Che was greatly surprised, he thought Xiao Liu Ju would hesitate, "Your third uncle is not doing well here?"

"Okay." Xiao Liu said.

Liu Che: "There is no kang in the palace, so we can't be like this when we go back."

"My son knows." Xiao Liu Ju raised his head and looked at Liu Che, his eyes were full of doubts, what happened to the emperor?

Xie Lang smiled and said: "He thought you wanted third uncle instead of parents."

"Ah?" Xiao Liu Ju opened his mouth wide, "No, no, Father."

Liu Che glared at Xie Lang, then turned to his son, "Your third uncle is talking nonsense. I'm worried that you won't get used to it when you return to the palace."

"The palace is also warm, with a brazier." Xiao Liuju looked at Xie Lang, "It's as warm as Third Uncle's here."

Xie Lang was overjoyed, and wanted to tease him, but was also worried that Xiao Liu Ju would take it seriously and offend Liu Che when he was in a hurry to explain, "Come back in a few days."

"Okay." After responding, Xiao Liu realized that he forgot to ask his father, and quickly looked at Liu Che.

Liu Che nodded slightly, Xiao Liu Ju was happy.

After eating and drinking enough, Liu Che wanted to leave, so Xiao Liuju slipped off the kang and put on his boots by himself.

Liu Che was secretly satisfied when he saw his son put on his boots skillfully, it seemed that Xie Lang really regarded him as a junior, not a nobleman.

When Wei Qing helped Xie Lang light the fire, he told him to send Liu Ju over after the twelfth lunar month.Xie Lang counted the days, and there were still a few more days, so he took advantage of the sunny weather and took two servants to drive to pull firewood for silkworm raising, and by the way, see if the villagers bullied Xie Guang.

Qian Xiaohua wants to bully Xie Guang, but Xie Lang is not dead, he lives outside Chang'an City, and people from the village have to walk around from his gate to the north gate when they enter the city, Qian Xiaohua can spread the word in the afternoon if he plays tricks in the morning. In Xie Lang's ears, Xie Lang could come over to take care of her at night, so that she was more honest than Xie Lang in the past few days.

Xie Lang went there by coincidence, the villagers were fishing, and the old head of the village, Xie Jiankang, who needed the help of a walking stick, asked Xie Guang to pick some big fish for him.

Xie Lang sprinkled the fry in spring, but Xie Lang didn't want it this time.He used to ask for fish because he was worried that people in the village would catch him eating fish, but he couldn't explain it.

Now that there is no such worry, Xie Lang said, "One fish can only be eaten for one meal. If it's too troublesome, I won't take it. Whoever has a lot of old hens, sell me a few. Stew a chicken and eat the meat for one meal. Chicken soup and boiled noodles can be eaten for two meals, which saves trouble in cooking."

"My family has them. Ask your aunt to catch a few." Xie Jianye said.

Xie Lang smiled and said: "Leave you guys to eat. Life was bad before, people worked a lot and ate less, and they emptied their bodies. Now life is better, if you have nothing to do, just kill one to replenish your body, don't be reluctant. "Pause, "You are in good health, and you and your aunt can also help the elder brother and the second brother cook and herd the sheep." Then he went to Xie Dalang.

Xie Dalang met Xie Lang's gaze and quickly said, "Father, Sanlang is right. Sanlang, Qian Xiaohua has a lot of chickens at home, you can ask her to buy them." He pointed to Qian Xiaohua who was picking big fish not far away.

"Qian Xiaohua, come here." Xie Lang shouted loudly.

Qian Xiaohua subconsciously: "Uncle Sanlang, I haven't quarreled with anyone recently. If you don't believe me, ask Xie Guang."

Xie Lang was so angry that he wanted to laugh, "I call you just to reprimand you?"

"This, this, how can it be. Uncle Sanlang is not born to scold others." Qian Xiaohua ran over, "What do you order."

Xie Lang took a bunch of copper coins from the donkey cart, "Catch me four hens, and if there are any leftovers, replace them with fried skin and tofu."

"Okay." Qian Xiaohua took it over and weighed it, and was overjoyed that she didn't want the fish she worked so hard to pick, so she turned around and went home.

Seeing her like this, Yao Guizhi couldn't help but said, "I'll pick four pullets for you."

"Then I won't buy from her next time." Xie Lang said.

Yao Guizhi felt relieved, "Leave after dinner?"

Xie Lang shook his head, "No way. Xiaoqi has to attend class with Dongfang Shuo in the afternoon. It snowed heavily a few days ago and there was an incident at court. Dongfang Shuo was busy. He hasn't taught Xiaoqi for half a month."

On the day Huainan King was executed for treason, the villagers heard about it.Yao Guizhi misunderstood that Dongfang Shuo was following Liu Che in this matter, "I heard from your second brother that the youngest of the Tai students are all seventeen or eighteen years old. Our Xiao Qi is so young, will they bully our Xiao Qi?"

"They dare not." Xie Jianye continued, "With the protection of His Majesty and the General, they should be worried."

Xie Lang nodded with a smile, "Yes." Glancing at his Pianpian young man, "Xiaoqi will not bully them either. No one can guarantee that everything goes well for me. If you bully them today, if it falls into their hands tomorrow, they will not bully them." I will take the opportunity to bully Xiaoqi."

"Saburo is still right." Lao Li said, "One's life is long." Pointing to Shan Huangli, "A moment of success does not mean a lifetime of success."

Xie Lang: "Why do you always think of that place all of a sudden? Did you hear that I moved to the city, so someone came over there to make peace?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." The head of the village, Xie Jiankang, laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth or eyes, because all his front teeth fell out.

Xie Lang chuckled, "That's a good idea. But don't mock them." Looking at Xie Guang, "It seems that the people in our silkworm farming are stingy."

"No." Xie Guang said, "I sent them to the entrance of the village in a good manner, so that they couldn't even utter a word of complaint."

Xie Lang nodded, "Well done."

"Uncle Saburo, I'm here."

Xie Lang turned around and saw Qian Xiaohua carrying two old hens in one hand, "Auntie, isn't it surprising?"

Yao Guizhi took a closer look, one was bigger than the other, "Why did this woman suddenly become so generous?"

"Because Uncle Sanlang asked me to buy it." Qian Xiaohua put the chicken on the donkey cart and looked at Yao Guizhi, "If you had an extra chicken feather, I would have to pull it out."

Yao Guizhi: "Did you ask Saburo for something? Let me tell you, Qian Xiaohua——"

"I don't want to tell you." Qian Xiaohua interrupted her, and walked towards Xie Lang, "Uncle Sanlang, the eldest of my family will serve in the military in a few years, you—"

Yao Guizhi hurriedly said, "Don't ask Sanlang to beg His Majesty for you. I don't agree!"

"Who wants to look for him." Liu Che didn't want to see Qian Xiaohua, and Qian Xiaohua didn't want to see him, "Sanlang, can you tell the general to keep my kid in the army?"

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows, this Qian Xiaohua has opened his mind, "It's best to go to battle with Zhongqing to kill the enemy and earn a Marquis? Qian Xiaohua, I can go to Zhongqing, but there is one thing you and I have to agree in advance, next time we will follow You are happy that Zhongqing picked up a military exploit. The next time you lose your life with Li Guang, don't cry."

"Li Guang is so old, His Majesty wants him out?" Qian Xiaohua stared wide-eyed in shock, "Your donkey kicked his head?!"
