The Big Landlord

Chapter 27 Asking the People

Young Master Chen said that he was going to play in Tangjia Village, so Tang Shi could only nod his head, and gave him a vaccination first, "There is nothing fun in our village."

Chen Hong didn't want to play, the main reason was that his father and Grandpa Yuan were both dealing with business, and he was too lonely by himself. He happened to meet Tang Shi and the others. How could he let go of this opportunity?

The two people in this room were talking, while the landlord in that room respectfully accompanied Chen Jiangui and Yuan Yong up from the field, his face was full of worry and fear.

In fact, Chen Jiangui and Yuan Yong were also a little puzzled. If it was a natural disaster, it was only the land of the landlord Qian. It was impossible to say that it was a natural disaster, but what happened to this land?Or is this a harbinger of natural disasters?

As the county magistrate, Chen Jiangui was not only in charge of local litigation and prisons, but also managed the food and land of the local people. Now that the wheat seedlings died inexplicably, he was also very worried.

"Father! Grandpa Yuan!" Seeing them on the ground, Chen Hong hurried over, not caring that his exquisite boots were stained with dirt, "In Tang Dynasty, there were also wheat seedlings that died in their village, why don't we go to their village to see them too. "

Chen Jiangui looked at the people beside the bullock cart not far away, and couldn't help asking: "I thought you saw Tang Shi, why are you so excited?"

Chen Hong pointed at Tang Shi, "Isn't that Tang Shi! Dad, don't you recognize him?"

Now that he had seen them all, Tang Shi had no choice but to walk up to Chen Jiangui, and said politely, "Caomin has seen Mr. Yuan and the county magistrate."

Tang Nian was at a loss, so he had no choice but to salute as Tang Shi did, and became cautious.

Zhao Jin and Hong Zhong also bowed their heads in salute.

Chen Jiangui signaled them that you're welcome, and then looked at Tang Shi in surprise, "Tang Shi, did your family also encounter this situation? Otherwise, you'd lose weight after only a few days?" He thought Tang Shi was this hungry.

Yuan Yong also said: "Didn't Old Man Zheng give you some remuneration? How did you come to such a downfall?"

Tang Shi felt that these people were too clever, so he had to explain: "Master Yuan, Lord Magistrate, I only lost so much weight because of an illness in the past few days." All of them are rough clothes, which look extremely pitiful.

Of course, Tang Shi didn't want other people to look at him with sympathy, but his appearance was too deceptive. He was white, tender, soft, and his eyes were big and round, and he was innocent. It does look a little pitiful.

"Then how are you recovering now?" Yuan Yong asked with concern.

Tang Shi nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your concern. I'm already well."

Yuan Yong smiled kindly and nodded, "That's good." He actually wanted to reach out and touch Tang Shi's little head, but felt that it was too abrupt, so he had to hold back.

The reason why he came to Nanfeng County this time was mainly because of the letter Chen Jiangui had given him, one was about the camellia, and the other was because of Tang Shi.

Chen Jiangui was his second disciple, and his talent was not bad, but it was only good. His four disciples were from humble backgrounds, and some were from rich and noble backgrounds.But he has always had a regret, that is, he wanted to accept another closed disciple before he was buried.

The four disciples have all embarked on official careers and have little time for in-depth study. They are generally biased. For example, Chen Jiangui's calligraphy is the best among the four disciples.What Yuan Yong thought was that he hoped that there would be a closed disciple who would accept all of his mantle and be able to focus on learning, preferably not to go into official career.

Of course, he didn't force it.

Chen Jiangui's disciples all knew his wish, so whenever they met a young man with outstanding aptitude, they would recommend it to their mentor, and the mentor would make his own decision.

Although Tang Shi was 13 years old, he was indeed a bit older in terms of age, but his aptitude was indeed extraordinary.Of course, being able to endorse does not necessarily mean that you will be able to do well in learning, but the foundation of learning is to be familiar with the scriptures, etc., and Tang Shi already possessed the innate conditions to achieve this foundation.

When Yuan Yong saw Tang Shi for the first time, he felt that there was an aura in Tang Shi's body. It was difficult for him to explain what this aura was, but at the first sight, he fell in love with the little fat man squatting in the corner .

But liking is one thing, but whether Tang shi has the ability is another.He originally wanted to know more about Tang shi, but he didn't expect to go home as soon as he saw Tang shi.Forget it, he's fine, so what if he just stays in Nanfeng County for a while?Although this place is not as prosperous as Kyoto, it has a different meaning.

Chen Jiangui and the others came here in a carriage. Since he was planning to go to Tangjia Village, Chen Hong followed his father and Grandpa Yuan into the carriage. He also planned to take Tang Shi with him, but Tang Shi refused.

Landlord Qian, who was silent all the time, could only silently follow the group to Tangjia Village.

Landlord Qian didn't know anyone in Tang shi, and he usually sent housekeepers or servants when he went to the village to do errands, so he didn't know that Tang shi was the Tang family whose contract he had withdrawn a few days ago.

The group got out of the car when they arrived at the entrance of the village, with Chen Jiangui and Yuan Yong naturally walking ahead.

Chen Jiangui looked up at the old tree at the entrance of the village, and saw that its withered branches were still dotted with greenery, so he couldn't help saying to Yuan Yong, "Teacher, it's a good sign that the dead tree is in spring."

Yuan Yong stroked his beard and nodded, "That's right." His eyes were full of admiration, and he must have already borrowed the scene to express his feelings in his belly.

Officials were naturally protected when they went out, and when Chen Jian came back here, there were also guards with knives around him, so there was a lot of movement, and some villagers were attracted to them.

When the villagers saw Chen Jiangui in official uniform, no matter how stupid they were, they could tell that he was an official. Anyway, it was right to pay respects, so they all knelt down and kowtowed.

Chen Jiangui asked them all to get up, and then asked: "I heard that something happened in the village, so I came here to take a look, and let everyone talk about it."

The ones who cried the most were Tang Aniu's family. They squeezed to the front of the crowd. Because they were too impatient, they almost bumped into Chen Jiangui, but fortunately they were stopped by the quick-sighted yamen servant.

Tang Aniu's parents, Tang Zhu and Wang, stated the tragedy of their family in sad tones.

"Lord Magistrate," they recognized Chen Jiangui after they went to court last time, "We don't know what happened, all the seedlings died overnight! My lord! There won't be any problems here, right?"

Chen Jiangui didn't specialize in agriculture, so he couldn't see what was wrong, so he had to ask other villagers.This kind of situation also happened to other villagers' fields more or less. Chen Jiangui could feel their panic, but there was nothing he could do now.

The movement here also attracted the Tang family. When they saw Tang Nian behind Chen Jiangui, they were a little surprised at first, but then, a thin young man came in front of them.

Seeing their shocked expressions, Tang Shi felt helpless.

"Daddy, Mommy, we're back." Tang Shi said with a smile, bending his eyes.

Tang Qing and Liu Shi could hardly speak.

"Little...Uncle?" Tang Song raised his head and looked at Tang Shi in disbelief. He put his arms around Tang Shi's waist, "Uncle, why have you lost so much weight?"

Tang Feng's usual expressionless face was also shocked by Tang Shi.

Tang Shi touched Tang Song's little head, "Uncle hasn't eaten for several days, can you not lose weight?"

Mrs. Liu immediately came back to her senses, her heart ached so badly, her eyes were red, "Stone, are you hungry now? Mommy will cook for you at home!"

Tang Shi smiled obediently, and he shook his head, "Aniang, elder brother took me to eat in the county seat, I'm not hungry now, the county magistrate is still here, shall we go home later?"

Liu Shi and Tang Qing nodded again and again.

At this time, Chen Jiangui suddenly asked Tang Shi, "Tang Shi, why didn't I hear you mention your land along the way? Could it be that your seedlings are still alive and well?"

The scene suddenly fell silent.
