The wasteland behind the Agricultural Education Division is not big, and the labor force of ten people can't build it. It's not dark yet, and the land has almost been picked up.And the one who worked the hardest was the boy who was eleven or twelve years old.
The grass in the wasteland has been cleared, but there are still processes such as plowing, fertilizing, planting, etc., but these tasks can't be done in a day, and Ji Ran doesn't have to work overtime every week. He only said that it will continue tomorrow , he dismissed the people and went home, but when everyone went out together, he deliberately left the boy behind.
The boy was left behind suddenly, thinking that his work was not good enough, his nervous face turned pale.
"Don't be nervous, I left you just to ask a few questions, it's not because you didn't do well." Seeing the boy's anxiety, Ji Ran patted his head, "Kid, what's your name? "
"In the words of the adults, the younger one is named Gu Sheng." Gu Sheng glanced at Ji Ran carefully, seeing his kind face, he relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to relax completely.
"Then Gu Sheng, what kind of people are there in your family? Why do your parents let you out to work with the adults to make a living at such an age?" Old Guo Tou fetched water to clean Ji Ran's hands, and Ji Ran asked while washing.
"The little one..." Gu Sheng lowered his head deeply, "The little one has no parents. My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to my younger brother. My father was killed by a big cat when he went hunting in the mountains. There is only a pair of siblings in the family. The younger brother is six. My sister is nine years old, I, I am the only breadwinner in the family, I have to earn money to support the family."
It turned out to be like this...
Ji Ran nodded clearly, feeling quite emotional in his heart, but in ancient times, such families were too common, and he didn't know what to do or what to do. I settled Gu Sheng's wages. It was originally agreed to be a consistent amount, but considering his special family, I gave him two additional wages.
"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Holding the money, Gu Sheng burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed to Ji Ran without even saying a word.
Ji Ran hastily pulled him up, and after sending Gu Sheng away, he left the Yamen to go home.I thought I would see Lu Zhen at the door, but after looking around for a long time, I didn't see Lu Zhen's person, and I was very puzzled for a while.
It's really strange, Lu Zhen came here in the afternoon, why did he leave so quietly?
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Ji Ran didn't wait foolishly when no one was there, so he got into the carriage and went home by himself.However, sitting alone in the carriage, and hearing the sound of the coachman lashing the horse from time to time, he felt very uncomfortable.
Lu Zhen had never been like this before, did something happen to her?
Thinking so, Ji Ran planned to go back to ask Lu Zhen, but luckily, he didn't see anyone when he returned home.Lu Zhen was not there, and suddenly disappeared without saying hello.
If he was still unhappy before, now Ji Ran is really worried.
However, what Ji Ran didn't expect was that Lu Zhen's disappearance was like disappearing all night.Ji Ran stayed up all night and waited all night, so that the next day he went to the office in a trance, and the whole person was out of the situation.
Fortunately, today's task is clear, ten workers dig the soil, and Ji Ran takes Qiu Cao and Lao Guotou to pick herbs.The amount of work was not large, and the work was easy, but Ji Ran threw the picked herbs into the weed pile several times, and after a while to react, he hurriedly pulled them out again.
"Master Ji has something on his mind today?" Old Guo couldn't help asking.
"Hey!" Ji Ran sighed, looked up and saw the three of them staring at him, and shook his head again, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well at night."
Several people saw that he refused to speak, so they had no choice but to ask more questions. They all thought that he was under pressure from being a farmer, or that he was too excited to fall asleep. The eyes, the meaning is self-evident.
Ji Ran didn't pay attention to the 'flickering' between the two when he wanted to land on Lu Zhen, but even if he did, he didn't care.Anyway, the boss here has the final say, and he has to obey whether others like it or not.
But since this fugue state didn't last long, because soon the content of the conversation between Qiu and Cao attracted his attention.
"Hey, Brother Cao, did you hear that Princess Yuning is in a daze." The first one to gossip was Lord Qiu.
Mr. Cao nodded, "I heard that Princess Yuning is also a woman, and she and General Lu can be regarded as a pair of lovers. It's a pity that God's will tricks people. Not only are the two separated by yin and yang, but the marriage line is broken. The general died and was given a wife, I don't know what the emperor thinks."
Before Master Cao finished speaking, he was kicked lightly by Master Qiu, and Master Qiu winked at Ji Ran, "Brother Cao, you will be questioned if you speak falsely about the emperor. .”
Master Cao turned pale when he heard this.
However, the gossip did not stop there.
Lord Qiu continued, "I heard that Princess Yuning invited an expert from nowhere, not only carved a tablet for General Lu with her own hands, but also took out the sword that General Lu used to live, and is going to open the altar to invite souls in the next few days Woolen cloth."
Ji Ran had pricked up his ears secretly since the two of them talked about it, and when he heard this, he was startled, and immediately raised his head, staring at the two of them with wide eyes.
"Master Qiu is serious?" Ji Ran asked eagerly, "Princess Yuning really asked someone to open an altar to invite Lu Zhen's soul?" Could it be that Lu Zhen disappeared without a trace suddenly, just because of this soul appeal? related?
Ji Ran is the matter of Lu Zhen's husband and wife. Not many people know about it in the capital. Naturally, they have no way of knowing about the Nine-Rank compilation of the two people who are on the fringes. .
After a long while, Master Qiu nodded and said, "Of course it is true. I heard many people talking about it a few days ago. It is said that Princess Yuning specially fasted and burned incense and went to the temple to sit in meditation for this soul-inviting ceremony. I've been meditating for two months."
"Hey, Princess Yuning is such an infatuated woman, there is only one in the world!" Master Cao shook his head and said with emotion.
There was a buzzing in Ji Ran's mind, and he almost couldn't sit still, so he hurriedly asked, "When will the specific method be done?"
"It seems to be these two days, we don't know the details..."
Before Master Qiu finished speaking, Ji Ran stood up abruptly, kicked over the stool and ran out, leaving the two of them staring at each other.Old Guotou looked at the direction Ji Ran ran away, then at the two adults, rolled his eyes, and didn't say a word.
Ji Ran ran out of the gate of the Agricultural Education Department, and jumped into the carriage to urge the driver to return to the city.When the carriage wobbled and ran a long way, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to find out where Princess Yuning did it.
Forget it, go to the city and find someone to ask. Since word of mouth is spreading at this time, there must be quite a few people who know about it.
Ji Ran was right in thinking, when he arrived in the city, he asked the driver to stop, and he found the exact location in any shop.Ximen Tongque Terrace is the place where Princess Yuning invites Lu Zhen's soul.
After inquiring about the location, Ji Ran asked the coachman to drive there.
Not long after the carriage ran towards the west gate, Ji Ran suddenly felt heart palpitations. Hiding in the carriage, he always had a feeling of being out of breath, so he lifted the curtain and looked out, only to find that the closer he was to the west gate , the denser the flow of people, and they are all heading in one direction.
Could it be that today is the day to invite souls, otherwise how could there be so many people rushing to watch the fun?
Ji Ran frowned and thought, and kept urging the coachman to hurry up.
When the carriage finally arrived at the Tongque Stage, there was already a sea of people crowded with spectators. Everyone wanted to look forward and see clearly, but there were too many people, and no one could really see it. move half a step.
At this time, Ji Ran wanted to get past the crowd, it was as difficult as skyrocketing.
Looking up through the curtain and worrying, suddenly a group of imperial forest troops rushed from a distance, divided the surrounding crowd into two groups, and split a road in a blink of an eye.Immediately, Princess Yuning in full attire was holding a tablet in her arms, walking side by side with a middle-aged man in Taoist robe holding a fly whisk, and a step behind Princess Yuning was an eunuch holding a sword in both hands. Squinting, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.
Ji Ran squinted at the tablet in Princess Yuning's arms, and without letting the coachman help him, he opened the curtain and got out, jumped from the shaft of the car to the ground, rushed over with a slam, and blocked everyone's way with his hand.
All this happened in an instant, and before the imperial guards who guarded the way could react, they were successfully robbed by Ji Ran and blocked the way.
Princess Yuning looked at Ji Ran who rushed out suddenly, her beautiful eyes tightened suddenly, and then she yelled, "Get out of the way!"
"Unless the princess lets go of this tablet, Ji Ran will never let go even if blood is splashed on the spot today!" Ji Ran's face was flushed red with anger, but his eyes were terribly bright.
"Do you really think that this princess dare not kill you?" Princess Yuning also refused to budge.
As Princess Yuning's words fell, the imperial guards drew their swords and moved closer. Ji Ran sneered, reached out and pulled out his hand from his chest, holding up the gold medal for avoiding death.
As soon as the gold medal was revealed, everyone was startled and knelt down on the ground, shouting long live, only Ji Ran and Princess Yuning confronted each other and refused to give in.
"Ji Ran, if you dare to ruin this princess' good deed, I have plenty of ways to make you die!" After a while, Princess Yuning gritted her teeth and said this sentence.
"The princess has not yet come out of the cabinet, but she does such morally corrupt things. She treats women's virtues and precepts as nothing. She is perverse and domineering and robs her husband. Is her education a dog? Where do you think the royal family's face is, and where is the emperor's face? "
"Husband, a man is not ashamed to talk like that." Princess Yuning stroked the tablet in her arms with Kodan's hand, as if she was stroking the most intimate lover, but looked at Ji Ran with cold eyes Biting, contemptuous as if looking at an ant, "Get out of the way, if you miss the time, even if you have the gold medal to save you from death, this princess will still kill you!"
Ji Ran snorted, his face firm and unmoving.
Princess Yuning became angry from embarrassment, and she pulled out the whip and raised her hand.
With a bang, the whip hit Ji Ran's neck, and his skin was ripped apart, and the blood was bright red.
Lu Zhen... Lu Zhen didn't show up.
But even so, Ji Ran still didn't give in. He stared at the Taoist next to Princess Yuning with dark eyes, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up. Before everyone could react, he turned around and pulled out a long sword from a soldier's waist , suddenly stabbed at the Taoist in the chest.
Between the lightning and the flint, the collision of the cold weapon and the whip made an incredible clang, and Ji Ran was thrown away by Princess Yuning's whip, sword and arms, and smashed far away with a bang.
With a pop, Ji Ran spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, the bell hanging around the Taoist's waist suddenly rang automatically without wind, and jingled fiercely, and the originally clear sky became cloudy in the blink of an eye, and the wind swept away the sand, which made people almost open their eyes. Do not open your eyes.
The grass in the wasteland has been cleared, but there are still processes such as plowing, fertilizing, planting, etc., but these tasks can't be done in a day, and Ji Ran doesn't have to work overtime every week. He only said that it will continue tomorrow , he dismissed the people and went home, but when everyone went out together, he deliberately left the boy behind.
