Ye Jianqiu

Once again set foot on the familiar yet unfamiliar land of Qingyang, and when they visited this pearl beyond the Great Wall in the southwestern frontier, people found that everything here was pure and simple again.

The antique dwellings on the street are surrounded by mountains and rivers, scattered and chic; the water under the ancient bridge is gurgling, clear and transparent; enchanting.Dai-like green hills, fresh air, bright sunshine, beautiful white clouds, dreamlike clear water, a strong poetic and picturesque feeling rushes towards us.

People who have experienced the desolation and coldness of Qingyang were all amazed and praised, is this still Qingyang?

I saw that Qingyang Town is full of flowers and green grass, and there are often hundreds of huge trees rising from the ground. Their branches and leaves are sparse, which can shade several acres. There are hundreds of birds inhabiting the branches and leaves. Endless; the forest and grassland herds of animals leisurely pace, each at their own peace; birds can speak human language, beasts can speak human language, and humans and animals coexist harmoniously, just like fairy tales in fairyland.

On the side of the road, there was a peddler guarding a mushroom as big as a barn for sale. Because the product was too big, the peddler had to slice it and sell it by the catty; the onion, which was as big as a wheel, was peeled off its purple skin, and the pungent smell irritated the whole street. Pedestrians wept in tears; the grain beans sold in the grain store were as big as a fist, and the five-jin milk flower beans could be eaten for days if you bought one; someone was holding an apple bigger than a watermelon in his arms; Pushing a wheelbarrow carrying only a bamboo shoot with green skin; there are even people driving a carriage with only a big pumpkin with flower skin that can be used as a small house to live in!

— out of control, completely out of control!

In this piece of land in Qingyang, people often find sudden and huge plants in their own vegetable fields, and they are surprised at first. After a long time, they find that the fruits and vegetables grown by neighbors are bigger and outrageous than their own, and they can only sigh. In a word, Qingyang, a fairyland, is full of wonders!

The small town of Qingyang has become a paradise for plants due to its suitable climate and abundant rainfall.

A towering tree can be drilled out of the crevices of the stone. The branches of the big tree are covered with thick moss. On the moss, there are exuberant epiphytes, and the epiphytes are full of light green. The strings of flowers swayed with the wind, and fell to the ground one after another... No matter where you go, you can see fallen petals and smashed fruit everywhere on the bluestone slab.

The high city wall in the distance has been completely covered with purple roses, and it has been decorated into a magnificent wall of flowers stretching for tens of miles; Ling Xiaohua is even more aggressive, occupying all places that can be climbed, such as bridgehead railings, lampposts, flagpoles, and eaves. The wooden pillars have their bright flowers; the clusters of gorgeous roses on the side of the road are as big as the mouth of a bowl, fresh and moving, the tall camellias hang down from the branches, and you can pick them at your fingertips, the cattail grass on the bank, and the emperor lotus in the water are swaying Vibrant, Shengsheng turned Qingyang Town into a sea of ​​flowers.

The wisteria hangs on the cloud tree, and the flower vines are Yiyangchun.Hidden songbirds in dense leaves, fragrant wind leaves beauty.

The street that Ye Jianqiu walks has been completely occupied by wisterias. The brilliant purple is like a waterfall hanging down from the sky, with neither its beginning nor its end. It is just deep and shallow purple, with flowers clustered next to each other. One after the other, they pushed each other, forming a street tunnel completely covered by the wisteria waterfall.Walking in the streets and alleys full of exotic flowers and plants, looking at the people and beasts coming and going, it feels like being in a romantic and colorful fairy tale kingdom.

At this time, a farm employee who was patrolling on horseback saw Ye Jianqiu approaching, and immediately got off his horse.

"Meet Guanshi Ye."

I saw the employee wearing denim overalls and a cowhide hat, followed by a majestic brown lion and a ferocious thylacine, and the birds and beasts flying in the sky that day also landed on him and stretched out their claws.

Ye Jianqiu pulled the bird's paw and smiled: "Old Mu, you have worked hard."

After Lao Mu screamed a few times, he stammered and said: "I caught, I caught someone."

The employee explained: "Old Mu said he caught a few more smugglers today."

"Oh? What are those smugglers selling?"

The employee said: "If you return to Manager Ye, we Qingyang has attracted a large number of flower hunters and fruit robbers, digging flowers and stealing fruits all day long, breaking branches and digging roots, making the fields full of earth pits, which is even more annoying The worst thing is that some people even dig up the soil and sell it, saying that there is divine power in the soil, and as a result, a small mountain is almost dug up!"

Ye Jianqiu couldn't help laughing: "These people are fun, how do you deal with them?"

The employee said embarrassingly: "Because we don't have any arrests or prisons here, we have to take him back to his hometown for trial."

"That won't work, they will come again."

"Yes, it seems that Qingyang is about to set up an army and surveillance. I also proposed to Wanzhen that I hope to set up a group of orc legions to fight against smugglers."

The employee said strangely again: "Guan Ye, what about Chaoge, why are you alone?"

Ye Jianqiu sighed: "Go catch Xiao Hou, is he the flower girl of the dowry group..."

Look, other people's children are looking for it, but their own children are going to catch it!go get it!

On another alley covered by flowers, Xiao Hou was staggering and walking happily with a black and white dog in his arms. Zhao Chun, who was following behind him, looked at the doll the size of a watercress in front of him and thought it was funny.The dog was running around in the street when it was caught by Xiao Hou in an instant, and he held it in his arms and kissed it all the time, but the dog was too big, so Xiao Hou held it tightly with its belly facing outwards. The two legs below kept dragging to the ground, whimpering and groaning.

"Xiao Hou, why do you like it so much?"

Little Roar said happily: "It's a milk dog! Daddy also raised a few big black and white flowers for me on Yingtou Mountain. It's delicious!"

The corner of Zhao Chun's mouth twitched, this is a male dog!

"You said it was a big cow?"

"No, it's big milk!"

All right!Zhao Chun gave up, and seemed to have no reason to talk to the child.

"Little Roar, what do your fathers do on Eagle Head Mountain?"

"Open up wasteland and farm!"

"Is that all you do?"

"Yeah, they are working very hard, and they have to develop and research new species every day!"

Zhao Chun's ears moved: "A new species? Let's hear it!"

Xiao Hou said helplessly: "I haven't researched it yet. They quarrel every day and fight in the big house on the top of the tree! Dad can't beat Dad every time. He's crying. They only let me play in the distance. Don't let me help beat daddy..."

The corners of Zhao Chun's mouth twitched even more.

While talking, the two came to the farm, and saw that the gate of the farm was quiet, all the office doors were closed, and only a piece of red paper was posted on it: the boss is happy, and the working day will be suspended for three days.

Zhao Chun knocked on the small door of the reception room, revealing Ye Xiaoxi's white and tender round face.

"Brother Xiaoxi! Open the door!"

"Huh? It's Xiaohou, why are you so obedient today, and didn't fly in!"

"Bring grandpa!"

As the gate opened, Xiaoxi nervously followed behind Zhao Chun and said, "This guest looks very familiar, has he ever been a guest on the farm?"

"Ah."

"Then...do you want to register?"

"Um?!"

"That's it!"

Xiaoxi was so frightened that he quickly closed the gate.

The farm is very quiet, because it is a married daughter, so it seems a bit low-key.

But the employees have already wrapped the big tree with red silk in advance, hung red lanterns on the eaves, all the dormitories and workshops have been affixed with gold-plated red happy characters, and a long red carpet has been laid on the main road early , the arched flower shed passages on both sides of the road have been set up, and a cage of pigeons is also placed on the side of the road waiting to be released... All the employees are dressed up, just waiting for the sound of firecrackers, and the bridegroom official riding a big horse to marry up.

In the conference room, Ye Wanzhen was still in the meeting.

Due to Qingyang's special climate and rich products, coupled with its inclusive mind, the population is increasing and problems are also increasing, so this daughter who is about to marry has no time to rest at all.

I saw her solemn expression: "I invite everyone to come today to discuss a few important matters. First, the orc employees with strong spirituality on the farm proposed that they also want to get married, and hope that the farm will give them the same land and benefits as ordinary people. At the same time, they hope Qingyang promulgates the law of equality between humans and animals as soon as possible, and imposes certain punishments on those who discriminate against orcs; Now that the river water has become clear, some people proposed to change its name to Qingshui Bay, Qingyang River, etc.; Fourth, due to the increasing population, the land in Qingyang Town is very tight now, and even the bridge holes are full of people. Some people would rather Sleeping on the street is unwilling to go back, so our Qingyang can no longer accommodate too many foreign people; fifth, our household registration policy will undergo major changes, and the household registration will be stopped immediately from today, and we are now temporarily living in Qingyang The foreign households have to be inspected for three years, and the household registration will be issued after tax payment and credit assessment, and must have my seal and signature for approval; sixth! Sixth! Someone committed evil and bought black blood arsenopyrite at a high price on the black market , Soak water for ordinary people to drink to turn them into orcs! Seventh! Seventh! Someone is digging truckloads of soil from Yingtou Mountain! Pull the soil to other places and sell it at a high price!"

Ye Wanzhen was a little excited, Qingyang Town has now become a real treasure, and the land is more expensive than gold!Even Yugu County, a neighboring county, has a lot of new immigrants. They can't settle in Qingyang, so they live next to Qingyang and wait for the opportunity to run to Qingyang.But some people were bold enough to secretly dig the soil from Qingyang, saying that this soil has supernatural powers and can grow fairy fruits!What's even more absurd is that the clay sold privately outside pretended to be the soil of the Red Star Hope Farm, saying that eating the flowers and fruits grown on it could live a hundred years!

As soon as Ye Wanzhen finished speaking, all the employees went into an uproar.

Someone said: "A sand mountain on the border of Qingyang has been hollowed out, so it turns out that Gaogui sells soil!"

"Yeah, now we should also set up an inspection department, recruit local people to join the army, and set up roadblocks at the gates to prevent outsiders from smuggling soil and rare fresh fruits in Qingyang!"

Ye Wanzhen knocked on the table and said: "Everyone, calm down! My elder brother once said that if you are poor, you will benefit yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Now the people in our Qingyang Town are very rich, and the tax revenue from our farm is also abundant. I plan to set up a Beastmen Fund, specially training those orcs' work skills or resettlement life. In addition, the reason why our Qingyang is special is because we have special vegetation. I decided to distribute the seeds of these plants to other places for free. In addition, if the land really has It works wonders, and there is nothing wrong with transporting it to other places. Only when everyone is as rich as Qingyang can they live and work in peace and contentment, without border tension."

Some people said unfairly: "Guan Ye, no matter how peaceful the world is, there will still be criminals! No matter how strict the law is, there are still people who will take risks and use black sand to commit crimes!"

"That's right, Guanshi Ye, we are all birds and beasts in our original form, and we may become enlightened one day, and we are always worried!"

The most worrying thing for everyone now is that they will become orcs, and it is also the most discussed topic every day.

Ye Wanzhen leaned back on the chair, smiled and said, "Why not become an orc? A leaf and a brick can be used as a nest, a few grains of rice and a few worms can be a meal, and those with wings can fly in the sky." , go chasing the colorful clouds and sunset, those with strong hoofs can quickly climb over the mountains and forests, and enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset on the top of the mountain! Look at the fish-shaped beasts in the river, they can swim across the big rivers, and travel across the ocean to enjoy exotic lands Scenery... as an ordinary person, it is not easy to do."

Ye Wanzhen is really curious about what kind of animal she is. In fact, there are many people who have the same idea as her, but they are afraid to try it.

Someone whispered: "Yes, the vitality of orcs is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and they live well in the sky and on the ground. Although they have the body of orcs, they still have the thinking of ordinary people. It is a joy."

Someone immediately objected: "You can't say that. Some orcs are very strong, but some are very weak. What should we do if our original form is birds, butterflies, insects and ants?"

After speaking, the man took out a small mouse deer from his arms as evidence, and saw the mouse deer trembling slightly, lying on the palm of his hand and trembling uncontrollably.The mouse deer said sadly, "Guan Ye, I'm here to sue! I'm originally from Dongkuqiang Village, and I've been friends with Mantun in the village since I was a child, but he turned into a white-haired elephant. But it has become like this... Ye Guanshi, what do you think should be done? God is playing tricks!"

I saw the mouse deer helplessly buried its head under its small hooves, crying and said: "At first, that Mantun liked to let me play in his ears, but then he accidentally lost me while running! Later, I found out that he was with a sika deer! If they are separated, they will be separated, but I have searched here in Qingyang for a long time, and there is no one of the same kind... How can I get married!"

After speaking, the mouse deer cried even more sadly.

At this time, a hummingbird with a beautiful figure and colorful human face flew over from the window and complained chirpingly: "Guan Ye! My friend has turned into a catfish and has been shamelessly living in the Liusha River all day long. If you hang out with those black tiger fish here, those heartless people would have given up on me a long time ago! You have to decide for me!"

Seeing the light and elegant hummingbird with gorgeous jewel-like feathers, the mouse deer immediately stopped crying and greeted in a low voice: "My name is Barn, what's your name?"

"My name is Hua Guzi. Let's go to Yingtou Mountain to play together. There are not only many smaller orcs there, but also black eagle guards. Big orcs dare not bully us! Now the foot of Yingtou Mountain is full of golden rapeseed flowers , I will gather honey for you to eat."

"Sure! I also like to eat nectar!" The mouse deer happily jumped onto the table, and the hummingbird flew away with the mouse deer in its mouth!

Everyone laughed when they saw this, what a perfect couple!But... what will their future children look like?

At this time, someone suggested: "Guan Ye, how about this! Let's all go back and think about these things carefully before discussing them. Today is your big day. Aunt Li is in a hurry and is preparing for you in the room." .”

Ye Wanzhen stood up and said, "Alright, everyone go back first, and when I return in three days, everyone will give me a proposal."

"Yes!"

After the meeting ended, Ye Wanzhen walked out of the meeting room slowly behind everyone, and seeing the fiery red and festive sea outside, she couldn't help but let out a long breath—are you really going to get married?

Seeing Ye Wanzhen finally enter the house slowly, Mrs. Li and the women grabbed her in anxiously: "Wanzhen, don't go to work anymore, it's almost time!"

I saw a few women swiftly changing her into a phoenix brocade wedding dress with the pattern of mandarin ducks and pomegranates, combed her into a bun of blessing clouds, and put on a phoenix crown inlaid with blood marrow diamonds. There is a peacock tortoise shell inlaid gold hairpin.Ye Wanzhen's complexion was even more fair and bright after the full dress, like a peach blossom.

Someone sighed: "It's really beautiful, women are the most beautiful only on this day. Look, this peacock hairpin was specially left for Wanzhen by Mrs. Lou before she went to Nanyang, saying it was for her as a dowry." It really came in handy today.”

"Yes, Mrs. Lou is really blessed. She followed her son to become the empress dowager."

Someone laughed and said: "If you want to say you are blessed, no one is as blessed as that good day. There is no wife in the back house, so he is the only one. Now he is going with him. He is also a king's husband."

"What I'm talking about is, who would have thought that he would be around until today, and he doesn't know what kind of incense he burned in his previous life."

"Isn't it just because of that face! A good face is enough to last a lifetime."

"I heard that Master Situ Jin has never touched him, and only thinks he is a playboy who can coax the old lady!"

"Not only does he have a good face, but he also has a clever mouth! There are too many people like this, but he has such a good life!"

"Why can't he be good at it!"

Everyone cursed and cursed, but they were envious and jealous in their hearts!This is the fate of some people. Everyone is waiting for the unlucky person to be unlucky, but the more they get along, the better. It makes people feel that God is blind!I had no choice but to swear behind my back twice to vent my anger, but when people get to a certain high position, even the swearing feels pale and powerless, God who doesn't play cards according to common sense, it makes people sick every now and then!

Ye Wanzhen said, "Where's elder brother?"

Someone said: "Lao Mu sent a letter saying that he is almost at the door."

"Where's Xiaohou?"

"Xiaoxi said that Xiaohou had already entered the door following a man in black, but really, that man would wear black to the banquet on the day of great joy. It is really unreasonable! However, our little ancestor loved it very much. Just to join in the fun, he is a flower girl on this wedding day, and he is dressing up in another room!"

Ye Wanzhen's heart shook violently, she held the dresser tightly to restrain her trembling body and said, "Xiaoxi, can you tell me who the man in black is?"

"No, he said he only heard Little Roar calling his grandfather!"

Seeing Ye Wanzhen's tears streaming down her cheeks, a woman blamed her: "Wanzhen, you can only cry when you get on the sedan chair, and now my son is crying all over his make-up."

Li wiped away the tears on Ye Wanzhen's face with distress, and whispered in her ear: "Wanzhen, if the marriage is not satisfactory, we will not marry."

Ye Wanzhen shook her head resolutely: "Today is a great day for me to get married, and it is also my chosen husband-in-law. Why don't you marry?"

Everyone sighed and said: "Wanzhen, you are really a benevolent woman. Then Lu Chao hated you, but he was afraid that Jianqiu would not dare to attack you, and finally spread his anger on the Cao family..."

Aunt Li said angrily: "Don't mention this matter again!"

The talkative women immediately fell silent, shut up and worked honestly.

The door curtain was lifted, and Ye Jianqiu walked in alone, leaning against the door and smiling, looking at the bride who was surrounded by stars like flowers and jade.

"Big brother..."

Seeing Ye Wanzhen's tears rushing down, Ye Jianqiu persuaded: "Why are you crying? Could it be that you are reluctant to part with your aunt? After you get married, you can live on the farm with your brother-in-law..."

Ye Wanzhen bowed her head and remained silent.

"Where's Chaoge?"

Hearing Aunt Li's question, Ye Jianqiu said helplessly: "Every time he went to find Xiaohou, this father lost him first. There is no child to worry about! Just leave him alone, he will come when the time comes."

Someone laughed and said, "Brother, he is sending his sister out today, why don't you also dress up a bit, so that the new husband-in-law won't compare him to his brother-in-law."

Ye Jianqiu patted his stomach and said: "For comparison, let's compare. My figure doesn't look good in anything, so it's fine."

"Who said that! Our Xiaoqiu is such a talented person, look, my aunt has already prepared a tailor-made for you!"

I saw Mrs. Li take out a purple-red brocade Tang suit from the closet that she had prepared a long time ago. The Tang suit is made of luxurious materials and fine workmanship, with a small stand-up collar inlaid with gold trim, exquisite dragonfly buckle, and dark gold Ruyi embroidered on the front. Auspicious eight-treasure flowers, even linen Chinese-style trousers and a pair of embossed jade and gold shoes are ready!

It can be seen that Aunt Li put a lot of thought into this set of clothes, so Ye Jianqiu had no choice but to pick up the clothes and hide behind the wardrobe and change them quietly.Although I am more than four months pregnant, it is not obvious when I wear this loose robe and Tang suit.

When Ye Jianqiu came out in a new dress, everyone burst into laughter: "Xiao Qiu is about to become the father of two children, and she is still so handsome."

Someone pushed Ye Jianqiu to the dressing table and combed his long hair carefully.His long hair was coiled up with a fuchsia headband, and his long bangs were slightly trimmed and combed sideways on his forehead, and then someone put on a jasper snake-shaped pendant necklace around his neck to complete his makeup.Standing in front of the large bronze mirror, Ye Jianqiu looked left and right and expressed satisfaction. The overall shape was majestic yet elegant, restrained and luxurious. As a natal family, this was a decent appearance.

Aunt Li looked at Ye Jianqiu's new attire and couldn't help complaining: "Xiaoqiu, this child, never takes his life's major events seriously. Let's get engaged, go to the ice and snow, and don't even invite relatives and friends. The wedding Not to mention, I have a second child, but I have been refusing to hold the ceremony for a long time, my aunt is so uncomfortable that I can't sleep when I think about it!"

Ye Jianqiu persuaded: "Auntie, the wedding is just a formality, as long as Chao Ge and I live happily, isn't it good?"

"What's so good! Fortunately, Chaoge is still the prince of the Chi Kingdom, an ignorant brat, who gave him a ring and dismissed it! I see, even if the third child is born, he has no such plan!"

Ye Jianqiu is helpless, this Aunt Li has never liked Chaoge from the beginning to the end, she always feels that the two of them are together, Ye Jianqiu has been accommodating Chaoge, in fact, she doesn't know how tolerant and pampering Chaoge is Myself... Marriage is like shoes, only I know whether it is comfortable or not, but there are still people who would care if the shoes look good or not.
