Xiaofulang's farming space

When Ling Yao was at home, he was a young master. He didn't touch the spring water with his fingers. He didn't embroider or cook, but only read. Seeing Xia Chenfei rolling and moaning on the bed in pain, he was completely at a loss.

"Chuqing, Chuqing, are you okay?" Ling Yao sat on the edge of the bed trying to wake him up

After screaming for a while, Xia Chenfei really woke up. He opened his confused eyes, looked at the person in front of him suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Ling Yao's hand, and said in pain and depression: "I'm sorry."

Ling Yao was stunned. He never felt that Xia Chenfei was sorry for him. On the contrary, he was the one who was sorry for Xia Chenfei. With Xia Chenfei's appearance and identity, he could marry a girl from a small family and live in a rich family. For a few years, children have been around their knees, living a happy life, and Xia Chenfei will be a kind and gentle husband-in-law and father.

But because of his own plan, Xia Chenfei not only couldn't get married, but he also couldn't give Xia Chenfei a normal and warm home.

After finally boiling a pot of warm water, Ling Yao didn't care about his face covered with black ashes, and wiped Xia Chenfei's face with a wooden basin. Seeing that Xia Chenfei was really sleeping uncomfortable, he helped him take off his coat and cover him The quilt was brought over by lighting a charcoal basin. Seeing that the person had slept soundly, I wiped the sweat from my forehead and went to wash myself.

When he woke up the next day, Xia Chenfei held his head in a daze for a long time, vaguely recalling what happened yesterday, he lifted the quilt in disbelief, looked at his clothes and then at the charcoal basin in the house, and jumped up , There are only two charcoal pots in this house, because most of Ling Yao's house is put there, if there is one less charcoal pot over there, Ling Yao will definitely be cold.

It was still early, Lingyao's room was quiet, people hadn't gotten up yet, Xia Chenfei walked around the yard twice, and decided to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water first, so that Lingyao would have warm water to wash his face when he got up.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, Xia Chenfei was stunned. Although he vaguely remembered that Ling Yao wiped his face with hot water, he never thought that Ling Yao would actually come to the kitchen to boil water. It looked like lighting firewood in the pot, some of the firewood was wet, and the kitchen was also water-stained all the way, which shows how much effort Ling Yao spent yesterday.

Xia Chenfei shook his head, cleaned up the kitchen and boiled a large pot of water. After washing up, he went to the alley to buy some large uncooked wontons from the old lady who bought breakfast.

Going out of this alley is a main street, so there are quite a lot of small food stalls on the street, and the two eat in the morning and evening. Xia Chenfei found that Ling Yao likes the big wontons sold by the old woman, the pork lotus root with thin skin and big stuffing With chicken and wild mushrooms, each wonton is the size of a child's fist, but Ling Yao, who has always eaten very little, can eat a bowl full of twenty.

After reading a book in the room for a while, he felt that Ling Yao was about to get up, so he took a small pot to boil water, and then knocked on the door.

Ling Yao put on his clothes, before he had time to wash up, he heard the knock on the door and hurried to open the door, Xia Chenfei smiled embarrassedly when he saw him, "Thank you for taking care of me yesterday"

"Everyone should take care of each other when they live together," Ling Yao said

Xia Chenfei smiled and nodded, "I bought wontons, you go wash your face first, I'll cook them"

Ling Yao nodded, wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and followed Xia Chenfei to the kitchen to wash his face.

The two had breakfast together, walked out of the alley together, said goodbye, and walked in two directions, as usual

The weather is getting colder and winter is approaching, Yu Wang wrote to ask Luo Xiaohan whether to open another shop for the dividend in the second half of the year, or send someone to send the bank note to him.

Luo Xiaohan thought for a long time, and wrote a letter to Xiaoman, asking Xiaoman what kind of shop he would like to open if he was given money to open a shop.

Xia Qingming and his wife did not expect Xiaoman's reply. Xiaoman wanted to open a library where all the scholars who couldn't afford books could borrow and copy books.

Luo Xiaohan calculated his dividends for the second half of the year, and wrote to the Jade King, saying that he wanted to open another library in the imperial capital. Three renminbi can be used to read books for an hour, and hot tea will be provided, and those who spend more than ten renminbi will get two milk-flavored steamed buns , Copying a book can give the customer back at half the price of the original book, put an ice basin in summer, and put a charcoal basin in winter, if you meet someone who loves books like fate, you will be charged [-] yuan for staying overnight, provide quilts, and send The method of making the previous milk steamed bun

Now one of the most inferior inns in the imperial capital costs half a tael for one night stay, and this library is not only surrounded by books, but also eats and drinks.

Luo Xiaohan wrote back, since Xiaoxue opened an embroidery shop to make money, it is no big deal to open a library that does not make money according to Xiaoman's intention.

When Xiaoman went to the library to read books when he was young, he was most afraid of the shopkeeper's naked contemptuous and contemptuous eyes. Reading with those eyes was like a sharp edge, but he gritted his teeth and endured it for learning, but the hunger in his stomach is the most uncomfortable after reading for a long time. If you go to eat, then it’s not easy to enter this library for a second time, and you can’t eat in other people’s libraries with dry food, so every time you go to the library to read, it’s really tangled. Miserable.

Xiaoman wrote a letter recalling the hardships he had suffered in the past, and said, if there is a library that is warm in winter and cool in summer, it would be great if you can buy two cheap buns to eat after reading for a long time. After meeting Sun Li, you will know After going to Beijing to rush for the exam, he thought again, if there is a library where students rushing to take the exam can stay overnight, read until late at night, then sleep in a corner, wake up and still have books to read, think about it, I am very happy.

Luo Xiaohan doesn't understand the obsession of scholars with books and the happiness of reading, but according to Xiaoman's wish, he wants to open such a library for him.

The Jade King received the reply, thought for a while, touched his chin, and said to the Jade General next to him, "Do you think this is actually a way to attract students from all over the world to gain a good reputation?"

Yu Jiangming nodded, "But that's not what Ji Yu wanted. He really wanted to find a place where those scholars from poor families could study."

The Jade King nodded, "That's why many great people with good reputations in ancient times, the starting point for their pursuit is not for their own fame, but for the sake of others."

Yu Jiangming nodded and said, "Father, let the son and the prince handle this matter."

Yu Wang talked about the letter paper in his hand, "It's another business for money"

"Er can use the money from the private treasury to do this," Yu Jiangming said solemnly

The Jade King chuckled, "You should think about it, if this library is really respected by the students all over the world in the future, this reputation will not be yours."

Yu Jiangming smiled faintly, "Fame is not what I want, what I want is the same as rain, so that book lovers have a desk where they can read quietly."

"You really deserve to be my king's good son, good," King Yu praised, "Compared with what my father has done for the people of the world, my son is really nothing."

The Jade King smiled gratifiedly, "Go ahead and tell Father King if you have any difficulties."

Yu Jiangming made a big gift to the Jade King, turned around and left.

King Yu looked at the letter in his hand, raised his lips and said, "The library is interesting."

The Jade King asked his son to run the library, and he just sent the children to do some small things, but when the library was all done, when he went to see it, he regretted it a bit. , How much money was put in, and it was nothing more than a little money, and a lot of orphan copies from the palace and the palace were also sold out.

This library is located in the alley of the main street. There are rows of bookshelves on three floors. On each floor facing the sun, there are comfortable low tables made of high-quality mahogany and soft cloth seats. The atmosphere is neat and tidy. It is divided into reading area, copying area and rest area. The rest area is a large platform with a height of [-] centimeters in the corner, covered with a whole cotton pad. It can be regarded as the best place to live. There are high-quality glazed lamps on each table, and pens, inks, papers, inkstones, pens, brushes, and pen holders are all available.

There are only three rules in this library, one is not allowed to fight loudly, two is not allowed to pollute and damage the books, the third son is not allowed to light lamps and candles, although the books are good, but his health is important, he can't stay up late to read, and people are sleepy late at night. Be careful to knock over the oil lamp. In that library, nothing but paper is wood, which burns quickly. It doesn’t matter if things are gone, the most fear is that it will hurt people.

Jade King felt sorry for his son's money bag while watching it, but Jade King stared and waited for his father to praise him. After watching it, Jade King touched and sighed, and said to Jade General, "Bring a pen and paper"

The library is fully stocked with paper, ink, pens and inkstones, and Yu Jiangming will bring them here soon.

The Jade King picked up a pen and personally wrote the four characters of Mingji Study, "What do you mean by these four characters, father?"

Yu Jiangming nodded lightly, "Thank you father for giving me the name."

"Although Luo Xiaohan opened this library for Ji Yu, I know that you have put in a lot of hard work. In the future, Ji Yu, you and the prince will be responsible for this library together."

"That's not good," Yu Jiangming said guiltily.

"Such an eye-catching library stands here. If there is no backing background, how many days do you think this library can last? It will last long with your name on it."

"I understand, but I should explain it clearly to Ji Yu, so as not to create a estrangement."

"You three go discuss it." Yu Wang clapped his hands and ignored it.

Luo Xiaohan has always been the one who only pays money and doesn't worry about it. Xiaoman wrote a letter boasting that the library has nothing but heaven and earth, and even praised Yu Jiangming and the prince. Let him get along well with the two, let the library help more

many people.

Luo Xiaohan likes the rice grown at home, and it smells delicious when it is cooked, so Xia Qingming has been eating rice for more than ten days since the autumn harvest, and Xia Qingming even keeps the rice from his own field. I bought more than half of it and didn't sell it for money like everyone else

Today was catching up with Xia Yuan's return, Luo Xiaohan cooked a large table of dishes for him.Xia Heyan helped them with their chores all the year round and ate at his house, making them more and more like a family.

Xia Heyan used to go hunting in the mountains for his livelihood. Although he was good at it, he still suffered some injuries. Medicines for bruises were always prepared at home. It had not been moved for a long time, and some flesh had grown on his body. Xia Yuan looked at it and was very grateful to Xia Qingming and Luo Xiaohan.

He used to go around with his master, but he always thought about his father in his heart, fearing that he would get hurt or that he would not eat well.

He was sick, but now, although he was worried about going out, he would no longer feel uneasy. He knew that no matter what difficulties or illnesses his father had, Xia Qingming would help him.

And now that I came back, what greeted me was not cold pot and cold stove, but a happy and lively atmosphere and delicious food.Author gossip:
