According to Xu Hongxuan's previous temper, seeing such a lively Baiyun community, and Anchang County, where most of the towns he passed along the way were bustling, he would definitely say this: "Qilang is my biological son, and he was adopted to my brother's family. "

However, after being teased by Tu Hao, he was still confused and didn't want to understand, but if he was asked to directly talk about his relationship with Xu Mingxu, he always felt that something was wrong, and even felt a little embarrassed.

The guide didn't know the details, but after knowing that the person in front of him was Xu Mingxu's uncle, he became more enthusiastic, and introduced as detailed as possible from the purchase of livestock and the necessary daily necessities for Anchang's side, to the living habits and customs and taboos.

There is a special school in Baiyun Community, and Xu Hongxuan went to a village of some size under the jurisdiction of Anchang County.

A very good village in Anchang County is still very poor in Xu Hongxuan's eyes.

The "village-run primary school" looks pretty good from a distance. There is no courtyard wall, but the walls are painted in conspicuous white, which looks like the Baiyun community.

When Xu Hongxuan walked closer, he realized that it was an adobe house. The house was still very small, far inferior to his own residence. There were only two rooms, and one of them was used as a classroom.

As soon as his things hit the ground, there was no place to stay.

The villagers who heard the news and came to see Mr. came here excitedly to see such a situation, and they were also embarrassed for a while.

The village chief rubbed his hands, and said embarrassingly, "Sir, if you have any needs, just tell me. How about we build a few more houses for you first?"

A house must be built.Xu Hongxuan has a request for what kind of building it should be.However, Anchang County, including countless miles around, is very short of wood.Not to mention the wood that can be used to build a house, it is rarely used for fire.Houses in good conditions are made of masonry, while houses in poor conditions use rammed earth.

The conditions in the village are limited, and it needs to be built in a short time, so only rammed earth can be used.

Xu Hongxuan used his decorative sword to draw a courtyard without walls on the ground.The villagers built their houses within five days.

The newly built house is still unlivable, so Xu Hongxuan temporarily lives in the village chief’s house: “Now that the school building is built, let’s start classes quickly. Starting tomorrow, everyone who is free during the day will move tables, chairs and benches here. Teach your names." Mr. Xu, who has never been a teacher and has a long memory of being a student, has already smoothed out his teaching ideas while on the boat.

Although he is indeed ignorant, he doesn't need to teach any classics anyway, just some common words and a few volumes of "Nong Jing" suitable for this place will do.By the way, we still have to learn the law.There is no such thing as an uncle selling his nephew.Anyway, his father is a grand tutor, so he can't lose face to Anchang County!

Dude also want face.

The village chief didn't understand: "Sir, do you mean our whole village?"

"That's right." Mr. Xu, a village teacher, took it for granted, "You do as I tell you."

Even if Xu Hongxuan is a dandy, he is still a top dandy, and his domineering attitude is natural.He never loses ground in the dandy circles, and he doesn't need to be too polite when facing some officials. The person in front of him is just a small village head, how can he bear his aura, and he does it instantly.

From then on, the whole village began to follow Mr. Xu, and began to read and practice calligraphy in their spare time.

In addition to teaching and self-study, Mr. Xu himself is still observing secretly.

Because the whole village came to class, many people came directly as a family, men, women, old and young sat together.The relationship between father and son, mother and daughter, grandpa and grandson, etc., somehow reminded him that when he was a child, his father would hold him hand in hand and teach him to write, and when his father was not free, his mother would teach him to read. Character.

Memories that were thought to be long ago are now vividly remembered.

He suddenly remembered what Tu Hao said, and found that he had almost never devoted himself to his children.As a father, the only thing he does seems to be to give some money to his children.There is no shadow of Xu Mingxu in it.

It seems that when he knew about this child, he was sent to the Imperial College.

As a father, he never severely punished his children, nor did he show pampering care.

One month after arriving in Anchang County, he sent a letter home.

Xu Mingxu also came to inspect the work with the mouse butcher who slipped away.

Xu Mingxu sat on the horse's back, holding the rein with one hand, and protecting the butcher in front of him with the other.Tu Mouse held two hands full of kebabs in his hands, and his mouth was full of oil.

Fat and thin mutton, fresh and tender pork loin, and the last wave of fresh mushrooms that year, Xu Mingxu saw that he ate a bunch of each, and then confiscated the rest with his hand.

Tu Mouse stared blankly at his suddenly empty hands: "No, it's gone?!" Was it just a hallucination?It was the first time he hadn't eaten snacks for such a long time, even snacks, and it was only today that he ate something decent.However, it is easy to wake up from a good dream since ancient times...

Xu Mingxu didn't eat by himself, so he passed the stick in his hand to Qi Qi and the cook who were following nearby.

Qi Qi wiped Tu Hao's mouth with a wet towel from the warm water in the thermos, and then shared the meal with the cook.

As a strict wife, Tu Mouse protested weakly to his family leader: "Brother, my skewers?"

The top leader gently criticized: "Didn't you already eat all of them?"

Tu Mouse snorted, buried his head in Xu Mingxu's arms in aggrieved manner, the whole mouse was wilted, and fell asleep limply.

Qi Qi watched from behind, and said in her heart: Yes!You have today too!

Tell him to skip his snacks if he has nothing to do before!

When Tu Hao woke up, he hadn't reached the place yet, but the roads on both sides seemed smoother and wider, and there were more pedestrians passing by.

There was an ox cart in front of it, which gradually slowed down, and the driver called out to the busy figures in the nearby fields: "Da Niu, I brought you what you asked for! Is Mr. Xu here? I will bring what he asked for too." coming!"

A man in commoner clothes in the field responded with a high voice, and quickly ran over. Seeing Tu Hao and his group approaching, he waved his hand and said to the people coming from a distance: "Why do you stop the car in the middle of the road? Do you want to let it go?" Someone else walked?"

The coachman quickly moved out of the way, and when he turned his head, he saw Xu Mingxu and his party. He said "ah", "Isn't this Mr. Xu?" Then he came up to salute.

Xu Mingxu received a gift, carried Tu Hao off his horse, and greeted the visitor: "Long time no see. Why are you here in this village today?"

Anchang is sparsely populated, and the distance between villages is several times farther than that of Gyeonggi.Later, the county developed and the people in the village became richer and richer. If they had nothing to do, they would like to make an appointment to gather directly in the city instead of going to the other village.Firstly, the distance is about the same, and secondly, you can also go to the city to buy and sell some things.

The coachman and the villagers saw that Xu Mingxu was still bringing someone with him, and saw that Tu Hao had been raised so delicately that he could be called a delicate figure. They were stunned when there was such a young man in Anchang County.

Although Xu Mingxu and the others are acquainted, and they are very, very good-looking, after all these years, there is not much sense of distance. Even if there is a little sense of distance, it was worn away by the incident when he turned the piglet into a father-in-law. about there.

The coachman pointed to the things on his ox cart: "The plow for Da Niu's house is ready, and I will go to Mr. Xu's to read a few words and buy some potted flowers."

Tu Hao saw that the village was not far away when he looked over here, and after seeing their greetings, he announced, "I'll walk there by myself."

After staying on the wet and dirty construction site for a long time, even an ordinary small village looks pretty.

Qi Qi volunteered: "I will accompany you."

Then he was ruthlessly driven away by the wife in charge: "You can send the things there first." It is more suitable for him to come to such activities as mouse hunting.

Soon, there were only the two of them left on the road.After a short walk, they discovered the correctness of choosing to walk.

Near the entrance of the village, the vast and relatively barren grassland has changed. Many flowers and trees have surrounded a large open space in front of the village. You can hear the gurgling sound of the small river, and you can smell it when you get closer. Osmanthus fragrance.Among them, there may still be stone platforms, stone benches and so on.Some girls and women are mending clothes, and the sound of children playing comes and goes.

Such a huge change can only be brought about by Xu Hongxuan.

Tu Hao elbowed Xu Mingxu: "Uncle is pretty good." It's only been a while, and a small park has already been created.

Xu Mingxu said after a while: "He's just going to toss about these useless things." He refrained from mentioning that he also loves to toss Yuanzi.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the village chief, who had already heard the news, hurried out. Xu Hongxuan walked awkwardly behind, and the first sentence he saw Xu Mingxu was not a greeting, but said: "Thank you for being here." This place has been an official for so long, and the family doesn’t even have firewood.”

The village chief quickly smoothed things over: "How can you blame Mr. Xu? There are no trees in our place."

This point was really overlooked by Xu Mingxu.He focuses on farming, and he has coal stoves and charcoal fires for heating, and there is no shortage of these.Hearing what Xu Hongxuan said now, he instinctively asked: "If you have the ability, why don't you come?"

"Hey." Xu Hongxuan raised his chin, "I'll come if I come. Let me tell you, after three to five years, there will be no shortage of firewood in our place."

Xu Hongxuan is rich.Anchang County is far less prosperous than the capital city, but various business activities are very frequent. There are also many merchants from the Western Regions, and a variety of commodities can be found in the market.Even if you add money to ask others to bring some designated seedlings from other places, it is a trivial matter to him.

He not only bought most of the fast-growing seedlings that can be seen in the market, but also had a lot of them shipped from other places.

The small park that Tu Hao and the others saw when they entered the village was the species he eliminated that "can grow but can only be seen".

In a month's time, if a dude with money and leisure wants to toss about, it can turn the world upside down.He has now acquired a large piece of land in the village and planted poplar trees suitable for growth, as well as several kinds of fruit trees that look good.

These fast-growing, loose-wooded trees are excellent wood for firewood.Fruit trees can also bring some income to the village.

Xu Mingxu didn't believe that a prodigal son could have anything to do with making money, so he asked, "How much did you spend on all this?"

Xu Hongxuan didn't say anything.

Xu Mingxu asked again: "How much is it?"

Xu Hongxuan reported a very exaggerated figure, and said: "I am making money by planting flowers now, and I will earn it back soon!" Fortunately, he brought two beautiful maidservants, who can't serve people, but can still serve flowers and plants.
