I am old in the Han Dynasty

Xie Jianye was dumbfounded.

"Rope!" Xie Lang frowned and spoke again.

Yao Guizhi, who was stunned by his actions, came back to his senses in an instant, "Rope, rope..." He plucked around like a headless chicken, pulled out a straw rope tied to the sheep from the wall of the sheepfold, and handed it to the sheep in a panic. Xie Lang, "The rope, the rope, here it is."

"Tie it on." Xie Lang said.

Yao Guizhi nodded vigorously, "Oh, oh, how?"

"Is it possible to tie a pig button?" Xie Lang asked.

"What are you doing? Let me go! If you don't let go, I'll sue you at the government!"

Snapped!

Xie Lang raised his leg to press his arm, and freed his hand to slap him on the head, "Don't worry, the third master will take you to see the official later. It's better to see Ting Wei, one of the nine officials."

The man trembled, and instantly calmed down.

Xie Lang couldn't help chuckling, "Are you afraid? Knowing that Ting Wei will use punishment first in trial? If you are afraid, be honest. Once the third master is happy, I will spare you."

"Who is he? Do you know him? What's going on?" Xie Jianye, who was awake, asked anxiously while helping his wife.

Xie Lang: "I don't know him. If I'm not wrong, this guy specializes in moving mountains."

Xie Jianye didn't understand what he meant, but when Xie Lang said about the business, he also said about the mountains and the mausoleum, combined with what he said just now that he knew it was cold down there, Xie Lang immediately changed his face and vaguely guessed, "Tomb robbery?"

The man raised his head suddenly.

Xie Lang slapped him on the head again, "Be honest with me."

"Really?" Xie Jianye couldn't believe it, "Why do you want that shovel? You can't dig graves."

Xie Lang: "You can check to see if it's raw soil or cooked soil. If it's cooked soil, it's a cemetery."

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, burials were popular, and Luoyang shovels could do twice the result with half the effort.

Xie Jianye understood, "How did he know?"

"Someone is bragging outside." Seeing that they were using straw rope, Xie Lang said, "Tie it up again with hemp rope. This matter can be big or small. If it wasn't for me to find out, one day he would be caught by the government and the entire silkworm raising industry would be destroyed." Everyone must die."

Xie Jianye shuddered, "What should I do then?"

"Go to Lizheng and ask everyone to come over. Don't yell about something big. It's not good for silkworms if the world knows about it."

Xie Jianye's daughter hurriedly said, "I'll go find Lizheng." After saying that, she ran outside to call for someone.

After a while, everyone was there.

Xie Lang made things worse, and saw that some people seemed to disagree, so he said: "Don't think I'm exaggerating, if this person digs up the tomb of Emperor Gaozu or the former emperor, do you think the emperor will let us go?"

Everyone instantly showed panic expressions.

Xie Lang breathed a sigh of relief, "Stop bragging outside in the future."

"Did you hear that?" Li Zheng immediately asked.

Everyone hurriedly replied: "I heard it."

Li Zheng, who was covered in cold sweat, let out a long sigh of relief, and asked Xie Lang, "Sent to the government?"

"Yes! Bring the shovel that my uncle made." Xie Lang said.

Li Zheng: "Aren't you going?"

"I..." Xie Lang wanted to say that it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.I was also worried that this group of people who would not fool me were too honest to see that the official was too honest, and said everything that should be said, "I can go. Don't go, uncle, help me feed the cows, take a look at the house, and take care of the little ones." seven."

Xiao Qi reached out and grabbed Xie Lang's clothes.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back in a while." Xie Lang said, "Our door is open, so go home and watch."

Xie Jianye continued, "Xiaoqi, if you don't go back to your house, the chickens and ducks will run out."

"Then I'm going home?" The child looked at Xie Lang pitifully, hoping he would refuse.

Xie Lang winked at Xie Guang, Xie Guang came over and hugged him, "If you don't go home, the thief will steal your cow."

"Xie Guang is right, Xiao Qi, go back quickly." Xie Lang said without pretense.

The child pouted and looked away.

Xie Guang hurriedly took him away.

Xie Lang wanted to call Li Zheng, so he can go.At first glance, he didn't have any money on him, and he was still wearing straw sandals.He went back to get some money, put on the cloth shoes Wei Qing bought for him, tidied his hair before going to Lizheng.

Where did Xie Lang go during the period, and where did Xiao Qi follow.

When Xie Lang arrived at the door, Xiao Qi stopped following, went back to the house and moved a straw mat to sit outside.

At noon Yao Guizhi brought the food over, Xiao Qi went to the bathroom after eating, and continued to sit outside when he came back, even his good friend Hu Zi was ignored.

Xie Guang let him into the house, but the child seemed to have never heard of it.Xie Guang was worried that he would cry, so he simply moved his beans over there, picked out the mud in the beans, and accompanied him by the way.

Having said that, Xie Lang and Li were taking the man to Ting Wei's yamen, and before Ting Wei tried, the man confessed - Xie Lang had expected it.

Xie Lang took the initiative to hand over the Luoyang shovel, promising not to do it again, and the government didn't embarrass them. They took the man into custody and let Xie Lang and the others go back.

I met Xie Bowen and his party on the street, Xie Lang returned home in Xie Bowen's car, and it was almost time for Shen Shi.

Seeing Xiao Qi jumping up from the ground and running towards him, without Xie Guang's explanation, Xie Lang also knew that the child had been waiting for him at the door, so he couldn't help saying, "It's finally worth raising."

The child was puzzled, buried his head on Xie Lang's shoulder, and called weakly, "Third Master, Third Master..."

"Your third master is back." Xie Bowen glanced at Xiao Qi, then turned to Xie Lang, pointing out, "This child, you need some snacks."

Xie Lang sighed, "I know."

Four year old kid.He lost his father at the age of one, his mother at the age of two, and his grandfather at the age of four. Following him, he left early and returned late, leaving the child alone in the big house, which is really pitiful.

"Third Master isn't going anywhere recently." Xie Lang said.

Xie Guang couldn't help asking: "Aren't you going to send Xiao Qi to a private school in our village?"

"Why do you talk so much?" Xie Bowen wanted to beat his son again.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "I will go with Xiaoqi."

"Ah?" Xie Guang exclaimed.

Xie Bowen was surprised.

"I know a lot of truths and know a lot of things, but I can't read. This is not acceptable." Xie Lang said, "Not for myself, but for getting along with that prince, I have to learn something."

Xie Bowen nodded, "I have to learn a little bit. But there are children in that room, you are so old..." Excuse me?

"I'm only seventeen, not very old." Xie Lang snapped at Xie Guangnu, "Will you go?"

Xie Guang looked at his father.

As long as the farm children know how to farm the land, it will be enough.

Xie Bowen thought so before.I go to the city every day recently, and I can't even understand the arrest documents hung on the city wall by the imperial court. I don't know where to start when I want to make a close relationship with the tofu buyer, but I think he should be literate.

What's more, it's only half a day in the morning, and there is no delay in work in the afternoon.

Xie Bowen: "Go if you want."

"Is it necessary to prepare writing and ink?" Xie Guang looked at his father as he said, hoping that his father could give him some money.

Xie Lang smiled and said: "Didn't your father sell the deer leg I gave you? Did you get the money for the sale? You didn't ask him for it. Let's go buy pens and inks tomorrow."

"Yes, Dad, that's my money."

Xie Bowen stared at him and asked: "I raised you so big, do I care if you ask for money?"

"I, you, I..." Xie Guang was at a loss for words, and turned to Xie Lang for help.

Xie Lang said with a smile: "You raise him, and he takes care of you. You ask him for money now, and when you get old, he asks you for money. Do you have any?"

"Yes, do you have it? Dad." Xie Guang asked.

Xie Bowen turned to Xie Lang helplessly, "Brother Sanlang..."

"We use pen and ink to record what the master taught on the bamboo slips. We usually use wooden sticks to practice calligraphy on the ground, and a pen can be used for three years." Xie Lang explained to him.

Xie Bowen calculated the average monthly payment and found that there was not much, "I'll go to the city tomorrow and bring it back to you."

"Then I'll give you the money right now." Xie Lang handed him the purse, "You and I, Xiao Qi, just buy one."

Xie Bowen had an idea, "Yes, I will go to Zhongwu, his youngest son is going to school, and buy a copy with him."

Xie Guang was speechless, "Father!"

"All the money I make is reserved for you to build a house."

Xie Guang was wilted, he also wanted to build a brick and tile house, so he whispered: "I didn't say no."

Xie Lang smiled and continued, "You can say thank you to your father, you go home and make tofu."

"Yeah, I didn't even think of that." Xie Guang's eyes lit up, "Uncle Sanlang, it seems that I still have to learn from you."

Xie Bowen: "Pick the good ones to learn."

"Uncle Sanlang is not bad." Xie Guang blurted out.

Xie Bowen almost choked, pointing at him and Xie Lang, "I don't care about you."

"Say it as if you can control Uncle Saburo." Xie Guang glanced at his father, "You are not someone like him."

Xie Bowen immediately wanted to hit him, "Go home if you have the kindness."

"You don't go to Brother Zhongwu to buy pens and ink?" Xie Lang reminded him.

Xie Bowen turned around and left.

"Go back too. Don't try to piss off your father all day long. You are only fifteen, and if you piss off your father, he will treat you like a joke." Xie Lang patted him and went inside to cook something for him and Xiaoqi For food, coax Xiaoqi to accompany the little tiger.

As the sky darkened, Xie Lang bolted the gate, took four pieces of red toon wood that had been split into pieces from the Jiangshan map, placed them on the open space between the cattle pen and the toilet, and then sprinkled a pile of bark and branches on them, and at first glance Seeing that it looked like a pile of firewood, Xie Lang went to the main room.

At the entrance of the main room, the consciousness enters the picture of Jiangshan again, finds a piece of ebony, removes all the unusable ones, splits the usable ones into the length he needs, and puts the wood in the alley between the main room and the wing room, and the top is the same. After scattering a pile of sawdust, Xie Lang went to wash up.

The next morning, when Xie Lang was at home making plows for the villagers, Xie Jianye came over, glanced at the pile of "firewood" next to the cattle pen, and looked away, "Sanlang, how did you grow your land?"

"Where?" Xie Lang didn't understand.

Xie Jianye: "When I get up in the morning, I go to the field to see how the wheat is growing. Our two families have the same plow and harrow, and I have decades more land than you. Why is your wheat seedling better than mine?"

"I want to ask too." Li Zheng met Xie Jianye in the morning, heard him talk about it, and couldn't believe it. Just now, he went to the field to see that Xie Lang's wheat seedlings looked like leeks.And his family's is like a sheep gnawing on it.

"You were all there when I planted the land." Sow whatever you want.

Li Zheng: "It's because we are all there that we don't wonder."

Xie Lang thought about it again, "Uncle watered the land for me, and the wheat planter I did was the same as what you did, so where could the problem be?"

Li Zheng recalled subconsciously, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong, "It can't be wheat seeds, can it?"

"Wheat seeds?" Xie Lang remembered that his family's wheat seeds contained soil and many flat wheat grains. If he didn't like it, it was useless. He went directly to Jiangshan Map to get a bag of full-grained wheat, "Yes. , is wheat, mine is better than yours."

Xie Jianye: "Okay? Are the two of us different?"

"It's not the same." Xie Lang said nonsense, "I used a dustpan to get rid of all the bad ones before planting. I don't know if uncle has noticed, but for a few days there were wheat grains on the ground and in the stone trough where the cows were fed."

Li Zheng turned to Xie Jianye.

Xie Jianye thought about it carefully, "I brought you the cow over at noon once, and I was in a hurry to go back to drink water, and I didn't look carefully, so I thought I was wrong. Is it right? Saburo."

"If it's when you're plowing the field, then it's right." Xie Lang said, "My chickens couldn't move for a few days."

Li was busy asking, "How much did you lose?"

"Thirty percent." Xie Lang said.

Li Zheng: "...So many?"

"If you want to be good, you have to be ruthless." Xie Lang said.

Lizheng opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't refute, "Harvest your wheat, and leave some seeds for me. My field is not good or bad, so I can't use it as wheat again."

"Uncle Sanlang, leave some for my house too." Xie Guang ran in from the outside.

Li Zheng frowned, "Why are you everywhere?"

"I came to see Uncle Sanlang on business." Xie Guang stared and said, "Unlike you, your own wheat is not as good as Uncle Sanlang's, so you suspect him of being stingy."

Li Zheng hurriedly said, "I haven't."

"Are you all clear?" Xie Guang turned to Xie Lang, "Uncle Sanlang, I'll tell you something interesting." He also looked at Xie Jianye and Li Zheng, "Do you want to know?"

Li Zheng and Xie Jianye glared at him at the same time, turned around and left.

Xie Guang cut out, "As you get older, your temper also grows, but your mind gets smaller and smaller."

Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, "What's the matter? Don't tell me I'm off to work."

"Say, talk." Xie Guang said hastily.

On the day of hunting the deer, Xie Lang told Xie Guang that it is not advisable to guard the spring and wait for the deer.On the day the wild boar was hunted, Xie Lang returned to the village, and some villagers asked him if he would go tomorrow.Xie Lang told the villagers that he would not enter the mountain for a short time.Because if you want to hit big things, you have to go inside.

Xie Guang also asked his father.Xie Bowen's exact words were the same. They startled the deer first, and then the pigs. Both the deer and wild boar must have run away into the mountains.

Even if bears and tigers do not go deep into the mountains, they will only run for their lives if they run into them.Xie Guang honestly helped his mother pick up beans.

But some villagers don't believe it.

Yesterday Xie Lang and Li were escorting the tomb robbers to the city, and several young people went up the mountain.

The docile deer did not meet, but met the wolves.

Those people were so frightened that they froze. When they fled for their lives, they panicked and didn't choose their way. They turned their feet and were bitten by a snake.

As soon as Xie Lang heard Xie Guang say "snake", he became serious, "It's not a poisonous snake, is it?"

"It's not very poisonous, cauliflower snake, it's all right today." Xie Guang said, "I played with Xiao Qi at your door yesterday, I didn't know if I didn't go to the village. Just now I went to deliver tofu to my grandfather. My grandfather is afraid that I will be alone. Into the mountains, in order to scare me, tell me."

Xie Lang couldn't help asking: "They don't know there are snakes on the mountain?"

"My grandfather said that they thought the snake was still hibernating. They didn't even know what time it was. The willow tree was twitched, and it was still hibernating. Just sleep to death."

Xie Lang said with a smile: "They have never been to the mountains, it's normal for them to forget for a while."

"It's because I haven't been there before, it's because I was stunned by the deer and wild boars you killed, and I never thought that the mountain side is dangerous." Xie Guang snorted disdainfully, "I really thought the deer were walking everywhere. There are as many wild boars as grass, and one person can hunt them down."

Xie Lang: "They don't know that the most dangerous thing in the mountains is pigs."

"Your Uncle Saburo is right." Xie Bowen walked in, "One pig, two bears and three tigers, the most annoying one is the wild boar."

Xie Lang was surprised: "You didn't sell tofu?"

"We made an agreement with the restaurant yesterday, we will give it to them directly when we go, and we don't have to go so early today." Xie Bowen handed him the basin, "This is for you."

Xie Lang: "What?" Gou looked at it clearly, "Tofu? Why give me this. I can make it myself if I want to eat it."

"It's just you and Xiao Qi in your family. It's not troublesome enough to cook a little bit for three days." Xie Bowen said, "Besides, if it weren't for the fact that the tofu is not very good, it is not easy to sell it in the city. Impossible for you."

Xie Lang couldn't help asking: "Smelly?"

"No. His mother forgot in a hurry. There is a plate of tofu that is so hard that it needs to be stewed hard in the pot." Xie Bowen said, "Do you have salted venison at home? It is good to stew with that."

Xie Lang smiled and said, "It's gone." He stretched out his hand to take it, shook it, and saw that the tofu didn't move, "It's just right to eat it when it's so hard roasted."

"Can this thing be baked?" Xie Guang asked curiously.

Xie Lang nodded, "Want to come to my house in the afternoon."

"Then you can bake it when I come back." Xie Bowen said hastily, "I will learn from you."

Xie Lang agreed to such a trivial matter without even thinking about it.

When the sun was about to set, Xie Lang put a clean tile on the simple stove in his courtyard, and when the tile was hot, put a little lard on it, and sliced ​​tofu on it, there was a prickly sound, and the aroma was tangy.

Xie Guang couldn't help swallowing, and sighed, "It smells so good."

"It's delicious." Xie Lang turned over the tofu with chopsticks, and said nonsense, "Do you still remember the time I went to sell deer in the city? I came back in the afternoon because I had dinner at Prince Wang's house. I made roast venison, but it was grilled on iron plates. It was much more fragrant than this one, and I almost swallowed it with my tongue."

Xie Guang hurriedly said, "Uncle Sanlang, don't talk about it. You said that I want to go up the mountain to get a deer right now."

"The one you got is not as good as the one made by Wang Gongzi's house." Xie Lang said, "Wang Gongzi said that his cook put a lot of spices on it. I wanted to ask at the time, but I didn't dare to ask. I'll be familiar with him tomorrow." , we must let him ask for some.”

"Ah Choo!" Wei Qing hurriedly covered his nose.

Liu Che looked at him: "Sick?"

"No. Who's talking about Weichen?" Wei Qing rubbed his ears, feeling a little hot, "It must be that bastard Xie Lang."

A few days ago when Xie Lang opened and closed his mouth, it was all about how smart Xie Lang was, how good his kung fu was, when did he become such a bastard?That kid is in town again?

Liu Che was curious, "What did he do to you?"

"It's okay, I just need a beating." Wei Qing said.

This is not in general wrong.

Wei Qing has a good temper, it's not that he's in a hurry, it's impossible for him to be "a mess" first, and then "to be beaten up".

Liu Che looked him over, but didn't see anything, so he said deliberately: "You can't beat him if you don't want to beat him. Why don't I pick a few people for you and go to the silkworm farm to deal with him?"
