I am old in the Han Dynasty

Liu Che was aggrieved.

It was the first time in my life that I was so frustrated.

Suddenly thinking of the words he heard outside Wei Qing's mansion that day, and seeing Xie Lang's sincere invitation to see Cotton, Liu Che always felt that he was doing it on purpose.

Deliberately released a bunch of handles to make myself feel at ease.

Thinking about how Xie Lang dared to call him by his first name, he also felt that when he used golden nanmu for the floor and ebony for a few desks, he didn't think so much at all, he was purely greedy for pleasure.

However, no matter what the reason was, he couldn't move Xie Lang.

Liu Che was secretly lucky, and repeatedly advised himself, don't be angry, don't be angry, if he is so angry, who will be happy?It wasn't Xie Lang, it was Liu An.

Liu An is not as good as his name, and he is not at peace at all. He wished that he would not have a son so that he could replace him.It doesn't matter how old I am, he will die if he suffers.

"Your Majesty..." Wei Qing called softly.

Liu Che came back to his senses, glanced at Xie Lang and stood up.

Xie Lang immediately got up, grabbed the straw sandals and walked outside.

Liu Che frowned, and was about to reprimand him, when he saw Xie Lang turn to the east, and then came out of the house, with a basket in his left hand and a hoe in his right hand, "Picking cotton still needs a hoe?"

Xie Lang: "The grass diggers told His Majesty before."

"Let's go." Liu Che walked out first.

Xie Lang waited for him to pass him before lifting his heels up.

Ever since the bamboo paper was made in the sericulture, the surrounding villagers all stared at the sericulture.Xie Lang was worried that someone would steal the cotton, so he asked the villagers to plant the cotton behind their houses.If there is no land behind the house, trade it with someone else for a while.This resulted in soybeans and sorghum on three sides of cotton and houses on one side, blocking Liu Che's sight outside.

After Xie Lang, Liu Che and his party arrived at his house, Liu Che saw a large piece of green cotton, at least twenty acres. "Ten acres?"

"Thirty acres." Xie Lang said.

Liu Che: "How much is the yield per mu?"

Xie Lang shook his head.

Liu Che didn't believe it, "You didn't name it?"

"The cotton seeds were peeled and given to the villagers. The stubble cotton was given to Zhongqing, and the dried ones picked later were made into bedding and cotton clothes by me. When I remembered to weigh them, I couldn't weigh them anymore," Xie Lang said.

This explanation convinced Liu Che.

Seeing some villagers looking at him, Liu Che didn't pursue the matter any further, "Don't forget what you promised me earlier."

"Always remember." Xie Lang bent down and pulled off a few sweet potato vines, and handed them to the person who came with Liu Che, "Feed this to the horses."

Wei Qing couldn't help asking: "If this one is dropped, what's inside will still be alive?"

"He dug it out." Liu Che said.

Xie Lang nodded with a smile, and whispered, "Your Majesty is Your Majesty."

"It's useless." Liu Che shook his head slightly, "Dig out something, and I will never forgive you depending on my mood."

Xie Lang shook his head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Che asked.

Xie Lang was afraid that the villagers not far away would hear it, so he whispered, "Once the Caomin digs out the things and cooks them, His Majesty will have no time to take care of those things in the Caomin's house."

"Really?" Liu Che didn't believe it.

Xie Lang stopped talking nonsense, dug a basket of sweet potatoes, carried them to the courtyard with Wei Qing, dumped the sweet potatoes into the vegetable sink, and went to fetch water with a pole.

"Let them go." Liu Che said.

Xie Lang immediately handed the bucket and pole to Liu Che's men, went back to the house and took out the pottery urn and put it on the simple stove next to the ironware room, and the golden monkey, white tiger and black wolf came out.

Wei Qing subconsciously stood in front of Liu Che.

Liu Che raised his hand to push him away, "With Xie Sanlang here, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't be afraid if I'm here." The door was open, and the villagers wanted to see the legendary second son of the Wang family. They passed by his door back and forth. The pottery urns in the house were exactly the same. When they saw me taking this, they thought I was cooking for them, so they couldn't wait to run out."

Wei Qing: "You do it for three?"

"I'm used to eating cooked ones, and I don't want to eat raw ones." Xie Lang said, sighed, looking like an old father, and said helplessly, "I'm used to it."

Liu Che was speechless and wanted to laugh, "Then change them."

"No way." Xie Lang pointed at the golden monkey, "Smart is like a human being. If I don't do it, it dares to do it by itself. I dare not let it do it. The house is on fire, and I can't even cry."

Wei Qing couldn't help asking, "Monkeys can use fire?"

"Brother Hou can use everything." Xiao Qi said suddenly.

Liu Che's heart moved, and he waved to Xiao Qi, "Tell me."

Xiao Qi subconsciously looked at Xie Lang.

"Speak." Xie Lang said.

Xiaoqi immediately said: "Brother Monkey can pick locks, catch rabbits, and catch thieves—"

"Thief?" Wei Qing asked in surprise, "When did it happen?"

Xie Lang: "Let Xiaoqi tell you slowly. By the way, there are some persimmons in the cabinet in the main room. Xiaoqi, take your Grandpa Zhongqing to get the persimmons."

The child reached out and grabbed Wei Qing's big hand.

Wei Qing's first reaction was to look at Liu Che.

Liu Che followed.

The two big ones went to the main room and dug out a pot of hard persimmons.

"Is this edible?" Liu Che was very suspicious.

The child nodded vigorously, "It's delicious."

"How to eat?" Liu Che asked.

The child pointed to the small knife on the cabinet, "Third Master said you can peel the skin."

Wei Qing took out his dagger, wiped it with a clean sackcloth that was covered on the persimmon, quickly sharpened one and handed it to Liu Che.

Liu Che glanced at Xie Lang who was washing things outside, put it near Xiao Qi's mouth, "Take a bite."

"I have." Xiaoqi said, taking one from the basin.

Wei Qing took the persimmon in Liu Che's hand, cut a small piece and handed it to Xiao Qi, "Eat first. I'll help you peel it."

Xie Lang said that Wei Qing is a good person.The child didn't doubt him, so he stuffed his mouth and stared at Wei Qing.

Liu Che took a bite, raised his brows slightly, "Isn't it bitter?"

"The humble minister will also try it." Wei Qing said so, and cut one for Xiao Qi, and another for Liu Che.

Xie Lang caught a glimpse and quickly reminded, "Eat less. I have to eat this later." He pointed at the sweet potatoes that he hadn't washed yet.

Liu Che's mouth paused, then he passed the persimmon to Xiao Qi, "You eat."

"I don't want to eat your leftovers." The child snorted and sat beside Wei Qing, far away from Liu Che.

Wei Qing smiled and said: "When I came in just now, Wei Chen saw a persimmon tree outside the door, this persimmon must have been picked from that tree, not San Lang bought it. San Lang, right?"

"Yes! Throw it away if you can't finish it." Xie Lang said, "You guys are not afraid of Brother Monkey, so just give it to Brother Monkey."

Xiao Qi quickly said: "Brother Monkey doesn't eat leftovers."

"Your monkey brother didn't eat less of your leftovers. Why can't you eat your grandpa Mengda's leftovers?" Xie Lang asked, "Do you not like your grandpa Mengda?"

Xiao Qi glanced at Liu Che, seeing Liu Che looking at him with a smile, the child blushed, "I, I don't have one!"

"Forgot who bought our new cart and donkey?" Xie Lang reminded him, "Who gave us the money to buy the clothes on your body?"

The child snatched the persimmon from Liu Che's hand and yelled into the yard, "Brother Monkey, come here!"

"It can understand—" Wei Qing saw the monkey swaying over, opened his mouth, and turned to Liu Che, which is too clever.

Liu Che was also very surprised, "Sanlang, how long have you been raising him?"

"It's been more than a year." Xie Lang said, "Monkey is already smart. He has been with me and Xiao Qi for so long, and he can't understand human words, but he also knows that 'Brother Monkey' is him." After a pause, he added, " It’s just a dog, if it’s been raised for so long, it can understand.’

There are kennels in the palace.With Xie Lang's explanation, Liu Che could understand, "Don't wolves eat sheep?"

"They don't eat raw." Xie Lang said, "They only kill the sheep, let me cook them."

Putting the washed sweet potatoes into the pottery urn, Xie Lang asked Liu Che's people to look after the fire for him, then pointed to the things Liu Che brought, "Is this picked up on the mountain?"

Wei Qing laughed, "How do you know?"

Xie Lang picked up the roe deer, pointed to the wound on it, "Bamboo arrow wound."

"Yes." Wei Qing nodded, "Don't do it, we'll eat what you made."

Liu Che scoffed, "He didn't make it for you and me to eat."

Xie Lang was about to compliment him, when out of the corner of his eye he saw someone passing by the door, he couldn't help raising his voice, "It's endless, right?"

Liu Che was about to ask him what's the matter, when he heard footsteps, farther and farther away, until he could no longer hear them.

Liu Che was speechless, "The people in your village..." These are no virtues.

"Free time." Xie Lang dropped the roe deer, and closed the door when the water bearers came in, but he was worried, "If you dare to lie at the door and eavesdrop, I'll let Brother Monkey beat you."

"Someone is eavesdropping. No one is eavesdropping."

Xie Lang said coldly, "I won't talk nonsense with you. Brother Monkey, come here."

The golden monkey wandered over to Xie Lang with the persimmon that Wei Qing had peeled for it, what are you doing.

There is a bean straw stack, a wheat straw stack, and a pile of cotton trees on the west side. No one will eavesdrop on the west side.Xie Lang pointed to the side room to the east, "Go up and stay."

What are you doing up there?

The golden monkey didn't move.

Xie Lang picked up the roe deer, "Do you still want to eat it?" He stared at it with wide eyes.

The golden monkey grabbed the bamboo and jumped up the courtyard wall, along the courtyard wall, climbed up to the roof of the east side house, raised its hand and threw the persimmon stalks down.

"Who hit me?"

Xie Lang immediately answered: "You monkey brother!"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Liu Che wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, "Sanlang, is your house always so lively?"

"It used to be lively, and anyone who wanted to come would not knock on the door. Since there are three of them, the door is open and no one dares to come in." Xie Lang said, went to the room to get a knife, and cut two roe deer with three strikes. clean.

The eight people who came with Liu Che looked straight at him and asked him who he learned from.

Xie Lang didn't answer, but looked at Liu Che, "Your Majesty, guess."

"It's just familiar." Liu Che said without thinking.

Eight people turned to Xie Lang.

Xie Lang nodded with a smile, picked up the internal organs and threw them into the pottery basin where he usually washes meat, then took an ax to chop up the roe deer and put them on another simple stove.Then came the rabbit.

Skim off the froth, throw a bag of aniseed ingredients in, and the sweet potatoes are stewed out.

Xie Lang took out all the bowls and chopsticks, took two pots, scooped up two pots of sweet potatoes, brought them to the main room, and said to the people brought by Liu Che, "I want to eat it myself. However, I don't recommend you eat too much. This stuff Ventilation."

"Is this medicine?" Liu Che was about to take one, but immediately withdrew his hand when he heard this.

Xie Lang shook his head, "No." Put one on the table, waited for the heat to dissipate, then broke the two halves, handed half to Liu Che, gave him a spoon, and gave the other half to Xiao Qi, then broke the other half before handing it over. In Wei Qing's hands.

"The white stuff inside is edible." Xie Lang said.

Liu Che understood, and scooped out a piece with a spoon, it was soft and sweet, and could be swallowed without chewing, "Why does this thing look like a melon?"

"Melons can't compare to it." Xie Lang swallowed the sweet potato in his mouth before saying, "This thing yields sixty stones per mu—"

"Cough, cough, cough!" Liu Che hurriedly blocked his mouth, "What did you say?!"
