I am old in the Han Dynasty

"That's not what I said. Without you, the silkworm breeding industry will really stop."

"That's right! No one can leave you without anyone."

Xie Lang laughed, "What did you guys want to say just now? Let me hear."

"Say, what are you talking about?" The person who wanted to talk about the plague with Xie Lang thought of his purpose for coming here, his face changed slightly, "I just wanted to say that you have to serve in the military."

Xie Lang chuckled, not believing it from the bottom of his heart, "Really?"

"Really." Everyone nodded at the same time.

Xie Lang looked at them, "If you don't say it now, I won't listen to what you want to say in the future."

"We've already said that it's military service. Why don't you believe me?"

It's really possible to fight back.

Xie Lang: "Then let's talk about military service. While I'm still in the village, you quickly elect a village chief, and I'll hand over all the village's bills and money to him. In autumn or a year later, when the court comes to remind me, I can leave directly. "

"You're gone, what should Xiao Qi do when you're gone?"

"Yes, there are three of them."

Xie Lang glanced at the tiger cub with the little wild boar in its mouth, "The three of them and Xiao Qi went to Zhongqing's house. With Xiao Qi here, the three of them won't hurt anyone if they live in a crowded city."

"Ah? You have arranged everything?"

Xie Lang rolled his eyes at him, "Such a big event is not arranged in advance, so I'm still me."

"But apart from you, there is no one in our village who can be the chief. Hey, isn't that Eldest Young Master working by His Majesty's side? You asked Eldest Young Master to beg His Majesty to relieve you of the corvee."

Everyone's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea."

"Sanlang, in the past two years, you have grown cotton and sweet potatoes, and donated plows, harrows, and carts to the imperial court. It stands to reason that you should be exempted."

Xie Lang had guessed that they would say this yesterday, and when he really heard it with his own ears, he still wanted to laugh. This group of people usually don't have enough brains, but as long as it involves themselves, their brains turn faster than him.

"You guys sound nice." Xie Lang said, "A companion is like a tiger. I haven't heard that."

"Your tiger is not scary."

Xie Lang choked for a moment, then waved his hands, "Hurry up and choose a new chief. Don't talk about such useless things to me."

"You can't go." Everyone hurriedly stopped him.

Xie Lang put his hands on his hips, "Want to fight with me?"

Everyone subconsciously took a step back.

Xie Lang glanced at them, "Don't think that Meng Da is extraordinary, just think that he is powerful and omnipotent. That's because you have seen too few people."

"But it's okay if you ask the eldest son to ask. It's really done, hello Xiao Qi, and everyone. Xiao Qi is only seven years old, so you are willing to send him to someone else's house."

Xie Lang, "Xiaoqi likes Zhongqing very much. Zhongqing also loves Xiaoqi."

"Thousands of good things are not as good as your own."

"That's right. The gold and silver nests are not as good as your own chicken coop."

Xie Lang almost burst out laughing, quickly bit his lips, and held back his laughter, "Speaking is better than singing. Then next time the prince comes over, you can ask him yourself."

"Just ask." At worst, ask the second son of Wang.

When Liu Che went back, Xie Lang asked Liu Che to take the quilt he made for Wei Qing, but Liu Che ignored Xie Lang.But Wei Qing is not an outsider after all.While Xie Lang was chatting with the people in the silkworm farm, Liu Che told Wei Qing about it.

On April [-]th, in Xiumu, Wei Qing rode alone to the silkworm farm.

When he got off the horse at the door of Xie Lang's house, he was surrounded by a group of women.Wei Qing drew the sword at his waist like a reflex.

Putting his hand on the hilt of his sword, Wei Qing saw that they were not malicious, so he withdrew his hand again, "You guys, what's the matter?" He asked cautiously.

"Second son, do you know that Saburo is twenty?"

Xie Lang heard the movement and opened the door, seeing that Wei Qing was almost lying on the horse, he couldn't help frowning, "Enough is enough."

"I didn't ask you. Second Young Master, you see that Sanlang treats you well. Shouldn't you show it?"

Wei Qing nodded subconsciously.

"You agree? Then you go back and tell His Majesty that Saburo will be exempted from military service."

Wei Qing couldn't help blinking, "What did you say?"

"Zhongqing, ignore them." Xie Lang squeezed over and dragged Wei Qing into the room.

Women habitually reach out.Xie Lang turned to stare at them, everyone froze, Xie Lang raised his hand and pushed Wei Qing into the yard.

Wei Qing staggered, and quickly supported the vine to stand firm, "What happened?"

"My lord, we will take it as your agreement. Sanlang, we are doing it for your own good. Don't be ignorant. My lord, let your elder brother do it if you can't do it. Otherwise, you won't deserve the kindness Sanlang treats you.

Wei Qing was even more puzzled, "What happened?"

Xie Lang pouted in the room.Wei Qing followed in, and Xie Lang then explained in detail what he had talked to Liu Che that day, and how he deliberately played tricks on the villagers.

Wei Qing felt relieved, untied his saber, and said with a smile, "I thought something was wrong. Hey, where's Xiaoqi?"

"Playing with other children in the school. There is a lot of space over there." Xie Lang said, "Come to get your quilt?"

Wei Qing nodded, "I heard His Majesty say it's different from what we usually use."

"It's not the same. Wait a minute." Take it out from the bedroom on the west side and put it on the floor on the east side. "I sewed a lot of stitches and pressed the cotton to death. It looks very thin, but it's actually thinner than your winter cover." thick."

Wei Qing touched it, it was a bit thin, picked it up and exclaimed, "So heavy?"

"I wanted to make one for you out of rabbit skin. But you are still inexperienced, and it's your first time leading the army. You're so special. I'm worried that your soldiers will have opinions." Xie Lang said, "In their eyes, you are because of Mrs. Wei is a dignified person, there must be many people who will not accept you."

Wei Qing smiled and said, "Your Majesty also told me similar things."

"Then he still looks like His Majesty." Xie Lang laughed, "Shall I wrap it with a cloth?"

Wei Qing nodded, and seeing him coming out with a piece of cloth, he helped him secure the bedding into two lumps, and put it on the horse's back when he returned.

"Let's go now or after lunch?" Xie Lang asked.

Wei Qing, "Let's go in the afternoon." Looking at Xie Lang's living room, he sighed, "This is probably the last time I'm here."

"There will be opportunities in the future." Xie Lang said.

Wei Qing shook his head and smiled, and looked for something to eat after sitting down.

Xie Lang immediately understood that he had thought of "a general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns in ten years", so he couldn't help sighing, and sneaked into the map of mountains and rivers, and there was a small pile of mulberries and a handful of bananas in front of him.

Wei Qing turned around with the sunflower seeds in his hand, and seeing the things on the case, he couldn't help laughing, "It's not for anything else, but for this I have to live well."

"Yes. There's nothing like that in the sky." Xie Lang said.

Wei Qing looked up at him, "You know?"

"The things in the world are rustic, and gods don't eat them." Xie Lang said, "I heard that gods drink dew and eat food. When you reach the sky, let alone fruits, you don't even have to eat rice noodles."

Wei Qing shook his head and laughed, "You—"

"Third Master, open the door, your eldest grandson is back."

Wei Qing asked in surprise, "Xiaoqi?"

Xie Lang nodded.

"That child can say such things now?" Wei Qing said, "You took him to my house in the early years, and you didn't dare to call your third master loudly in front of me."

Xie Lang smiled and said, "It's no surprise that the child I raised became like this." He turned his head and shouted outside, "Brother Monkey, I'm busy."

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, come and open the door for me."

Wei Qing, "You locked it with a lock, Brother Hou can open it—" Hearing footsteps, getting closer, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Third Master! Grandpa Zhongqing, why are you here?" The child rushed forward.

Xie Lang raised his hand to block it, "Take off your shoes."

Xiao Qi lifted his foot to shake off his shoes, jumped to sit next to Wei Qing in two steps.Wei Qing was taken aback, "Xiao Qi is pretty good at it."

"My third master taught me." The child stretched out his fist, "Even a pony can't beat me."

Xie Dalang's son, Xiao Ma, is two years older than Xiao Qi, about the same height as him, and not as strong as him, so it's normal that he can't beat him.Xie Lang didn't think this was worth showing off, "You should say that even Xie Guang can't beat you."

"Huh?" The child was surprised, "Third Master wants me to compare with him?"

Wei Qing, "When your third master was half a head shorter and thinner than me, he could beat me. Why not compare you to Xie Guang?"

"That's my third master, not me." The child said.

Xie Lang is happy.

Wei Qing couldn't help laughing, "You have a small mouth that speaks better than your third master. How about staying at my house for two days?"

"Okay." The child said without hesitation, "Can Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang go too?"

Xie Lang, "Go, I'll stay and take care of them."

The child's face changed slightly.

"What's the matter?" Wei Qing asked intentionally, "Don't you like Grandpa Zhongqing very much?"

The child turned his head to stare at Xie Lang and asked Xie Lang to speak.

"I'll pick you up after two days." Xie Lang said, "At your grandfather Zhongqing's house is the same as at our own."

Xiao Qi blurted out, "It's different."

"What's the difference?" Wei Qing asked intentionally.

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Qi said, "There is no third master."

Wei Qing was happy, "Your third master is going, so you go?"

The child nodded, worried that Wei Qing would set him up, and quickly said, "If the third master doesn't go, I won't go."

"Then let's send your grandfather Zhongqing outside the city gate and come back?" Xie Lang said, "Come with me? Riding a donkey."

The child nodded, as long as he was not asked to go back with his grandfather Zhongqing alone, he would be fine.

Xie Lang glanced at the shadow at the door, "It's almost noon. Cook now?"

"Do whatever you want." Wei Qing stood up while talking, "I'll help you light the fire."

Wei Qing rarely came alone.At that time Xie Lang wanted to do more, but Liu Che's eight guards couldn't do it.Today it was just the three of them. Xie Lang got a bunch of oysters from Jiangshan Map, cleaned them up, and asked Wei Qing to watch the oysters grilled over charcoal fire. He steamed a plate of shrimp, a plate of fish, three bowls of whitebait steamed eggs, and a plate of fried oysters. bread.

When the dishes were brought to the main room, Wei Qing let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "Come here a few more times before leaving. I guess I want to come back when I'm outside the Great Wall."

"Then try to find the Xiongnu as soon as possible, and beat them to pieces as soon as possible, so that you can come back sooner." Xie Lang said.

Wei Qing's hand holding the chopsticks froze for a moment, and looked up at Xie Lang, "Do you think my trip can achieve my goal?"

"I'll make a fortune teller for you after dinner?" Xie Lang said, "Or do you do the divination yourself?"
