Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

"What's wrong with the gentleman you're looking for?"

Outside the door, Xia Da looked at his two younger brothers expressionlessly.He just came back to tell everyone that he would stay in Fuzhou City to take care of him for a while, and then he heard his two younger brothers talking about Zhang He.Others may be able to say Zhang He, but they Xia family can't!

"Brother, you're back?!" Xia Er was taken aback by him.

Old Man Xia glanced at him, and there was indeed dissatisfaction in his eyes.After all, the unhappiness with the Huang family was also related to Xia Jiniang. I didn't expect that she would bring so much trouble to the Xia family even though she was married.

"How is Silk?" Xia Cui asked Xia Da hurriedly.

Xia Dao: "Thirsty."

Mrs. Xu, who was standing by the table, poured him a bowl of water, and he gulped down the water to quench his thirst. His throat felt much better, so he wouldn't be as uncomfortable as a fire.Glancing at everyone, his voice raised a lot: "Whoever contacts with Huang's family in the future and speaks ill of Dong Bed, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Everyone was a little confused by his cruel words, and murmured in their hearts. Xia San curled her lips, disapproving: "Brother, the Huang family helped us, why do you say that? And your son-in-law can help us even if he is a little bit helpful." No, what are you doing talking for him?"

Xia Daben felt guilty towards Xia Er and Xia San because Xia Er and Xia San accompanied him to Fuzhou to inquire about Xia Luosi and was insulted by Huang Yu, but after hearing these words, his heart ached.

"What did the Huang family do for us?" Xia Da's backlog of anger over Zhou's joining the army had already made him uncomfortable for a long time, but they still wanted to mention it!

The old man Xia knew Xia Da best, he was surprised when he saw that his face was really ugly, and there were faint signs of anger.The last time when Xia Da was angry, he never had such a complexion and cannibalistic eyes. He was afraid that Xia Er and Xia San would say something that would cause their feelings to be at odds, so he said, "Didn't Erlang be picked up by Zhou Canjun to the state capital?" Yamen?"

The only person Xia Da couldn't face coldly was Old Man Xia, and it was precisely because of this that Old Man Xia dared to speak for Xia Er and Xia San.Sure enough, Xia Da let out a sigh of relief and said, "Take it to the state government office? That's because the porter died, and the relatives of the porter sued Sier to the state government office, and Zhou Canjun went to the county government office to take over the case." But after he locked Siu'er in the prison, no one was allowed to visit him, not even the county captain was allowed to let him go when he arrived."

The Xia family's eyes widened: "How is it possible?!"

"How is the silk?" Xia Cui's eyes were very red and swollen, and she couldn't sleep well these days.

"The case is still under trial, and it hasn't been concluded so quickly. But Si'er suffered a lot in prison and lost a lot of weight."

Xia Cuishi almost cried again, Xia Er asked suspiciously: "That's not right, brother, since you said that Zhou Canjun doesn't allow anyone to see Erlang, how do you know that he has lost a lot of weight?"

Xia Da also didn't care to appease Xia Cui, saying: "If Dong Zong and Liu Canjun had no friendship, then Liu Canjun would give Dong Zan a fair deal if he agreed to Dong Zan, and I wouldn't be able to enter the prison."

Xia Er and Xia San, who said Zhang He was wrong before, looked away immediately. Although they were unwilling to believe this, if it wasn't as Xia Da said, then he wouldn't threaten his family's feelings. They were not allowed to communicate with the Huang family any more.

"One Liu Canjun and one Zhou Canjun, what if Zhou Canjun gets involved again?" Old Man Xia said.

"I heard from Dong Chuang that Liu Canjun is a seventh-rank official, while Zhou Canjun is only an eighth-rank official. If Liu Canjun says a word, those jailers dare not disobey."

The old man Xia was relieved, and Aunt Xia murmured in a low voice: "Since he knows Liu Canjun, why didn't he go to Liu Canjun earlier, and even caused officials to go to Huang's house to be humiliated!"

Sam Xia glared at her, worried that adding fuel to the fire would cause Xia Da to scold her, but seeing that Aunt Xia was also complaining for herself, she didn't scold her.Xia Da ignored it, and after calming down Xia Cui's emotions, he rested at home for another day, and rushed to Fuzhou City early the next morning.

On the day of the communal sacrifice, there was a drizzle in the sky, and Zhang He asked people to build a scaffolding and spread thatch in the open space of the Temple of the Earth God to shelter from the rain.The drizzle and the breeze could not cool down the high enthusiasm of the villagers in Qinghe Village. After Zhang He beat the drum, people who heard the sound of the drum gathered here one after another.

For all the communal sacrifices, almost every household went out in full force, and hundreds of people, men, women and children gathered in front of the huge temple.They carry wine or pork and mutton, and those from poorer families prepare preserved meat and fish. They burn incense and worship in front of the temple, and pray for good weather and good harvests.

Zhang He prepared a sheep, a pig, and some fish, because these are the "three animals" necessary for sacrifices and offerings. Originally, the "three animals" were cattle, sheep, and pigs. In the case of cattle and dead cattle, Zhang He was unwilling to prepare such cattle, so he simply replaced them with fish.

After the sacrifice, the rain gradually stopped, Zhang He distributed the meat to each family, and the cook began to prepare to cook the offerings brought by each family.All the people spread the straw mats, men and women sat under the straw huts separately, and then watched the musicians start singing and dancing while drinking.

Some people picked up the bamboo poles and beat them in a regular manner, and some people couldn't bear it any longer, they stepped forward and danced to the sound of the drums. The children found masks from nowhere and put them on, and they also mixed in with smiles.The rest sat cross-legged, drinking wine and eating meat.

The cook served another dish, but what made everyone a little confused was that it was neither meat nor vegetarian, but half of a taro with red skin and yellow flesh.Zhang Baochang, who was sitting next to Zhang He, asked, "Zhang Erlang, what is this?"

Zhang He picked it up, smiled, and said, "This is a sweet potato!"

The sweet potato that had faded from the sight of others came back to the sight of everyone again. They never expected that it was another kind of taro "sweet potato" cultivated by Zhang He besides potatoes.

"Is this edible?" Someone asked curiously, took a bite and found that this sweet potato is much more delicious than taro. It is not only sweet, but also soft!

"The taste of this potato is very special!" Zhang Baochang was also amazed.

"This is a sweet potato picked in July. When the weather is fine, let it dry outside for two days. After cooking, I found that it is fragrant and sweet." Zhang He said with a smile.

"Then how does this yam compare to potatoes?" Zhang Baochang asked again.

"I found that sweet potatoes are easier to store, and eating one sweet potato will fill you with [-]% fullness."

Zhang Baochang laughed and said: "In this way, Zhang Erlang has grown another amazing taro!"

"This yam is the same as a potato. One plant can bear at least five new yams, and it grows bigger than potatoes. The ones that are distributed here are only half of the prolific ones. I plan to continue planting them, and they will last longer." Interested?" Zhang He asked.

Zhang Baochang's heart moved. According to Zhang He, this sweet potato can produce several plants per plant, and it is more resistant to storage than potatoes, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat it after a long time.Zhang He had already figured out the method of planting, so it didn't take much trouble for him to learn directly from Zhang He.

"Yes, there are, but I don't know the taro seeds of this potato..."

"If Baochang wants to plant, I will give you some potato seedlings and teach you how to plant them."

"Then thank you Zhang Erlang." Zhang Baochang smiled and raised his glass to drink with Zhang He.

Zhang He thought that the planting method of sweet potatoes is different from that of potatoes. It does not need tubers to be sown as seeds, but after the sweet potatoes are grown, the seedlings are picked and transplanted to the field.She has cultivated many sweet potato seedlings with the system's seedling raising function. Assuming that one acre of land can plant two thousand plants, she is enough to plant half an acre.

The sweet potato can still be eaten even if it germinates, which makes Zhang He feel at ease to hand it over to Zhang Baochang, and one more person to plant it will have another way to promote it.

Zhang He also thought of Shi Qing and Liu Canjun, if it was handed over to them for promotion, it would be more powerful.It's just that she has to bother Liu Canjun with Xia Luosi's case, so she has no time to talk about sweet potatoes.

Since Xia Luosi's accident, Xia Jiniang's face has always been frowning, and occasionally she smiled reluctantly in order not to make Zhang He worry about her.Zhang He was more worried about her than Xia Luosi, but she couldn't make Xia Jiniang happy except asking someone for news.

Thinking of this, Zhang He sighed. At this moment, Li Qinggui squeezed to Zhang He's side and said, "Erlang, Uncle and Luo Si are here."

Zhang He was shocked, and Xia Da and Xia Luosi came. Does it mean that Xia Luosi has been cleared of his grievances? !She hurriedly asked: "Does Niang Ji know?"

"Uncle and the others couldn't find you after they came, so they came to my house first. It happened that my sister-in-law was at home bringing potatoes, so she came to look for us. My cousin is with my mother, so I knew it first. She asked me to let you know. She Go home first."

Zhang Hexi said: "Okay, then I'll go home now!"

Li Qinggui didn't know why Zhang He and Xia Jiniang were so excited when they heard that they were coming, and asked, "What about the communal festival?"

"It's not a big problem without me right now, why don't you ask brother Qinggui to watch over."

Li Qinggui nodded, there is so much meat here, he has to help bring some back.

When Zhang He hurried back home, he heard Aunt Li shouting nervously: "Why didn't you tell me what happened? Niang Ji, you still keep it from me!"

Xia Jiniang explained softly: "I also don't want my aunt to worry."

Xia Dao: "Ji Niang is right, even if I tell you, it will only make you worry along with me, how can I feel bad about it!"

"Besides, now that I have cleared my grievances, there is no serious problem. My aunt can rest assured." Xia Luosi's voice was hoarse and a little weak.

"Then why did you come here and not stay at home to take care of yourself?" Aunt Li asked again.

"If it wasn't for Dong Zong's help in this matter, he might have to stay in prison for a few more days, so Dong Zong's kindness must not be forgotten. After we returned home and let the family know that he was fine, we rushed over immediately." Xia Dao, waiting for Xia Luo Si takes care of her body and then slowly comes to thank her?Xia Da must not be so confused anymore!

Aunt Li spared no effort to praise Zhang He and said: "I just said that Brother Lu is capable, not only a county captain, but even a member of the army in the state government office can get acquainted!"

Zhang He opened his mouth and said, "My father-in-law, brother-in-law!"

Xia Jiniang got up and walked quickly to Zhang He, holding her hand, couldn't help sharing the joy with her, and said, "Erlang, second brother is fine now!"

Seeing the smile on Xia Jiniang's face again, Zhang He was also very happy. She smiled and said, "This is great news, and it is more worthy of celebration than the social festival."

Xia Da and Xia Luosi also got up, they looked at Zhang He, and before they could say thank you, Zhang He said: "There is no need to say more polite words of thanks, we are all one family. Brother-in-law, sit down and rest, Don't get tired." Xia Luosi's complexion was not good, it can be seen that what happened in the past ten days made him suffer a lot.

Everyone sat down one after another, but Zhang He refused to let go of Xia Jiniang's hand until everyone's eyes fell on them.Xia Jiniang felt that their gaze was too ambiguous and narrow, which made her a little shy, so she pulled out her hand forcefully.

Zhang He was also quite embarrassed, and turned everyone's attention back to Xia Luosi's case. She asked, "What is the truth about the brother-in-law's case?"

Xia Jiniang and Aunt Li were also very curious. After all, they just knew that Xia Luosi had been cleared of her grievances, but they didn't know the facts of the case.

Xia Luosi said: "I'm also to blame for this matter. If I hadn't left Yuan Jiulang to make a living by myself, he wouldn't have hated me so much."

The author has something to say: My friends are so smart, I guessed that Yuan Jiulang framed it, my readers are amazing (*^▽^*)
