I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

The thunder was rolling, and the shower was getting worse.

Through the rain curtain, Sinan smiled and looked at Mr. Lang on the steps, "I didn't want to go in, but if you beg me, I'll think about it."

Tang Xuan pursed his lips slightly, showing a trace of helplessness.

He opened the keel umbrella, stepped down the stone steps, moved the umbrella to Sinan's head, and said slowly: "Go in."

Si Nan couldn't stand the persuasion, so he followed him in a daze, almost losing his brother.

Fortunately, Erlang was strong and jumped out of the car by himself.

The relatives carried the three rounds and put them at the gate of the temple.There are rice noodles, melons and fruits in the car, and the officials don't want to waste things, they know it.

The interior layout of the temple is simple, and the door is greeted by a clay statue, painted with three-color paint, with a gentle and lifelike appearance, unlike folk crafts.

A row of prayer flags hangs behind the statue, separating the small temple into two rooms.

The prayer flags were blown up by the wind, revealing the figure behind.

He was a fat middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a ruddy complexion, with a gentle smile.

Si Nan had already guessed his identity.

After only one glance, he quickly looked away, and respectfully bowed to the statue, "I'm walking on a rainy day, I'm bothering you, I hope you will forgive me."

Zhao Zhen raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of joy in his eyes.

His biological mother was respected, which made him feel more fond of Sinan.

"Xuan'er, don't invite people in yet."

"Yes." Tang Xuanchong made a gesture of invitation to Sinan.

Standing on both sides of the prayer flags were more than a dozen tall and tall servants, dressed in casual clothes, with swords across their waists, all of them looked at Sinan in unison.

It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous, but you can't lose face, right?

Si Nan raised his face and smiled openly at everyone.

The subordinates were taken aback, thinking in unison: I am worthy of being friends with Commander-in-Chief...he is a character.

Since Zhao Zhen didn't reveal his identity, Si Nan pretended not to know, saluted respectfully, and then stood aside and said nothing more.

Erlang also had a very long face, and despite his young age, he never showed timidity or made a fuss in unfamiliar situations, the only thing that stood out was that he couldn't help but glance at the waists of relatives and officials.

He likes their knives.

Zhao Zhen saw it, and said with a smile: "Second brother, take the doll out to play for a while, and I will talk to the younger generation."

"Yes." Lin Zhen replied, grabbed Erlang's hand unskillfully, and led him to the outside room.

Erlang was not frightened by his paralyzed face at all, instead he stretched out his little hand and gently touched the handle of his knife.

Zhao Zhen laughed cheerfully.

As I get older, I just like such a lively and lovable little doll.

He glanced at the tricycle parked at the door, nodded in satisfaction, and then chatted with Sinan about the daily routine, such as whether the business is going well, whether the price of rice and noodles has risen in vain, and whether there is enough salt.

Although it is commonplace, it shows a king's concern for the people of the world everywhere.

Si Nan not only talked about his own stall, but also talked about the situation of the whole street in a funny way.He has a sweet mouth and a pleasing appearance. He makes funny jokes from time to time, which makes Zhao Zhen laugh out loud.

Not only did he follow the official personally, but even Tang Xuan was secretly surprised.

He didn't expect Sinan to talk and laugh like this in front of the king of a country.You know, even some officials who went to Beijing to perform right are not as relaxed as he is.

Tang Xuan would not believe that Sinan didn't guess the identity of the official, after all, this young man is so smart and transparent.

Seeing Sinan's humorous speech, quick thinking, and unique opinions from time to time, Zhao Zhen couldn't help but love talents, "I see that the younger generation is not very old, and he has also studied, but have you ever thought about entering the officialdom?" ?”

Tsk, this question is a bit sharp, it can't be said that he doesn't like the work in the system, he just wants to sell cats and sell hot pot and find a man to lie idle, right?

Si Nan straightened his expression, and said sincerely: "My father was studying in the academy and was selected as a scholar. Later, there was an accident at home, and he abandoned his studies and went into business."

"The kid once asked him if he thought it was a pity. My father said that Mr. Xiwen had a poem that said, 'If you live in a high temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king'." As an official in the court, or as a merchant, as long as you truly have the ambition to share the worries of the emperor and plead for the people, you will be able to realize your own value."

——This is not what Si Xu said, but his own thoughts.

From the age of ten to 20, he has been suppressing himself for the expectations of his family and for the secular perspective, studying a major he doesn't like, looking for a seemingly decent job, not daring to fall in love, and worrying about revealing his sexuality.

Now that he has traveled to this parallel world, Si Nanquan regards it as a second chance given to him by God, allowing him to live as he pleases, only for himself.

"One's own value..." Zhao Zhen chewed this novel statement carefully, not feeling moved, "One-price merchants all have this insight, and I don't know how many officials who are sitting on a vegetarian diet."

Si Nan smiled, "Sir, you are serious."

Tang Xuan coughed lightly, and looked at the tricycle.

Si Nan cleverly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, the boy is really lucky. If he didn't have this small three-wheeler, he would be on the road today."

Zhao Zhen looked at the two of them with a smile, "Xuan'er really cares about this little friend."

Si Nan blinked, "Really? The boy originally thought that he didn't like the boy because he wore this ice face every day!"

Zhao Zhen laughed, "He has a face of ice since he was a child. When Shisan and Taotao were in the palace and at home, they loved teasing him the most."

Si Nan pretended not to hear his slip of the tongue, and just smirked along.

Tang Xuan sullenly said, "Talk about the tricycle."

"Is it called 'Three Wheels'? I think 'Little Speeding Car' is more appropriate." Zhao Zhen said with a smile.

Si Nan held the hand, "Mr. Xie gave it the name, and it has been renamed 'Little Speeding Car' since then. When I go back, I will engrave this name on the car."

Zhao Zhen nodded his hand, "You can climb along the pole."

Simon continued to smirk.

He knew who could joke and when he couldn't be snarky.

Without Zhao Zhen asking, he took the initiative to ask for paper and drew the structure of the small three rounds in detail.

Calligraphy, drawing, and stick figure painting were compulsory majors in the teacher's college he studied in. Sinan studied it very seriously in order to win the national award.

While drawing, he pretended to be casual and said: "When I was doing it, I thought about adding a chain and using the front wheel to drive the rear wheel, but I tried for a long time without success."

"If it can be made, this car will be very useful. It can carry people, and it can also pull goods. It can also be made into a two-wheeled one. It only needs one person to drive it to replace a horse..."

Zhao Zhen's expression became serious.

Since the loss of sixteen prefectures, the Song Dynasty has lost the long river valleys with rich water and grass. The horses can't be raised well, so they can only be bought outside the customs.

If this thing can really be made, even if it can't replace the horse marching, at least it can transport grain and deliver letters, which is convenient for the people.

Tang Xuan looked at the drawing and said, "The chain you mentioned, is the material not suitable?"

"Yes, I have tried bamboo boards and wooden strips, but they are not good, they are easy to break, and they will be deformed after being soaked in water. They must be strong, can withstand friction, and cannot be deformed. They need to be fastened to the gears tightly."

"Use iron." Tang Xuan said.

Si Nan had a bitter face, "Let's not talk about whether you can afford it, but how many craftsmen in Bianjing can make such an exquisite thing?"

Tang Xuan looked at Zhao Zhen, who can afford iron and hire skilled craftsmen, isn't it the one in front of him?

Zhao Zhen asked, "Did you come up with this car?"

"No, I heard it from a wandering monk when I was playing in Daxiangguo Temple when I was a child." This was what Sinan had thought up early in the morning.

"Can you give me this blueprint?"

"Of course." Sinan nodded without hesitation, "If Mister likes it, take it."

Zhao Zhen was surprised, "If this thing is made, it can sell for a lot of money. It's better than you setting up a stall on the street. Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Si Nan smiled, "The boy's ambition is not here, so you don't have to try it out. This thing is just a piece of paper in the boy's hands, and it will benefit all people if you give it to the boy."

Zhao Zhen said slowly: "What you want is not your own self-interest, but the benefit of all people?"

Simon was taken aback.

If the answer is "yes", will you be too thick-skinned?To be honest, he didn't think much just now, it was just a subconscious reaction.

Zhao Zhen looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes.

Such a young boy really came from a family of merchants?What kind of family can cultivate such a mind?

Being stared at like this, Sinan was a little timid, and poked Tang Xuan quietly.

Tang Xuan said something nice for him: "Si Langjun's mother is General Di's fellow apprentice, Senior Yue."

"Oh, no wonder." Zhao Zhen was stunned.

He still remembered that strange woman who rode horses and wielded swords. After many years passed, she turned out to have married and had children.

"Is your mother okay?" Zhao Zhen asked with concern.

Si Nan said: "Father went west to do business last year and lost his trace, and mother went out to look for it."

It's no wonder that such a shrewd little man is reduced to setting up a stall in Zhouqiao.

Zhao Zhen patted him on the shoulder, "If you have any difficulties, tell Xuan'er."

"I obey, boy." Si Nan cupped his hands respectfully, turned his head and winked at Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan sighed helplessly, and smiled inadvertently.

Zhao Zhen secretly felt funny watching the two people's small movements.

The rain stopped.

The fact that Zhao Zhen left the palace secretly was finally exposed, and several adults personally invited Luanjia to pick him up.

Si Nan saw several figures in crimson purple from a distance, so he deliberately looked for anyone with particularly dark skin.

Hmm...didn't see it.

On the contrary, there was a thin civil official who stood upright and upright, and looked like he was dressed in the uniform of a governor.

Si Nan was staring at him when Zhao Zhen suddenly turned his head and teased him with a smile: "You really don't want to be an official?"

Sinan quickly bowed.

Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't pass the exam. The Jinshi exam in ancient times was much more difficult than the college entrance exam in modern times.

Just in time, the thin official came over and said stiffly: "Officials, it's time to drive, if you don't go through the city gate, it will be closed."

"Isn't there still half a day left, why should Bao Qing be so impatient?"

"Not only are the ministers in a hurry, but all the civil and military officials in the court are in a hurry. The ladies in the palace are also in a hurry. The officials left the city without saying a word, with only a few brats by their side. If something happens, how can I... ..."

"Okay, okay, stop reading, I'm going back now!" Zhao Zhen patted his head and said in disgust, "Xuan'er always thinks I talk too much, I think you talk more than me. "

Bao Zheng: ...

I have to say it!

Sinan's eyes were burning.

Is this Bao Qingtian?It's not dark at all!

Not fat, but thin and hale, full of style, not at all like a dog's head beheaded at the slightest disagreement.

Bao Zheng turned around and left, but Si Nan was still staring at him.

Tang Xuan turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Do you often look at people like this?"

"Ah? What's it like?" Sinan blinked.

Tang Xuan looked away, just like now, his eyes were very bright, as if they were filled with stars.

He didn't say anything, and returned to his cold appearance.

Sinan didn't hesitate, and asked with a smile, "'Mr.' is gone, don't you need personal protection?"

"Well, I'll go right away." Tang Xuan made a gesture to leave.

Si Nan hurriedly pulled him back, "I heard it all, the officials asked you to stay and protect me, and send me home safely."

Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you know it's the official family?"

Si Nan also raised his eyebrows, "You don't know that I know?"

The two looked at each other and both smiled.

Tang Xuan didn't push his hand away, and was pulled into the carriage by him all the way.Zhao Zhen deliberately left this small green tent car, and the brothers of Xu Si's family took it.

Erlang had already fallen asleep on his side in the car, holding tightly in his arms the little dagger that Lin Zhen gave him, and he couldn't pull it out.

The small tricycle is tied to the back of the carriage, and the fruits and vegetables are tied firmly with hemp rope, so there is no need to worry about falling out.

Tang Xuan drove the car himself, and the two personal servants saw each other off, Si Nan's face was enough.

On the way, there was another drop of rain, not too big, and it fell on the face softly like a mist.

Si Nan got out of the carriage and sat side by side with Tang Xuan.

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Tang Xuan asked.

Si Nan smiled, "Sit together and talk, otherwise it would be boring."

"...Well." Tang Xuan put the hat on his head.

The two adhering officers silently exchanged a look.

The commander of his family has never known what "boring" is, he only thinks that others are too noisy, and will shoot you to shut up with arrows.

However, at this moment, Tang Xuan calmly endured Xiao Langjun's noise.

"Your bow is so handsome, isn't it worth a lot of money?"

"It's just a weapon, no matter how high or low it is."

"Lend me to play, my father never let me touch these since I was a child."

"A sharp weapon for killing people, don't play with it casually."

"Then teach me archery!"

"..."

"Is it okay to pick a time when you're not busy?"

"……Um."

"I--"

"Shut up and get some sleep."

"I'm not sleepy, why don't I sing you a song?"

"..."

Si Nan leaned leisurely on the wall of the car, plucking the bowstring casually, the string made of beef tendon mixed with gold wire, knocked on the wooden board, making a soft "clank, clang, clang, boom, boom" sound like a guitar.

"Before people started harvesting in April,

Lying on the tall grain heaps and laughing.

I walked through the golden wheat fields,

to sing to the scarecrow,

……

We go to the lake in the prairie,

Waiting for the bird to fly back,

When we all grow up, we will have a baby,

He will grow up and go away by himself, and we will go away separately,

I write to you,

you won't write back,

So be it!

......"

This is "If there is an afterlife" written by Mr. Gao Xiaosong and sung by Mr. Tan Weiwei, Sinan's favorite song.

The young man's voice was clear and sweet, and he chanted softly, as if he was telling a simple and beautiful story.

After the story was told, no one spoke for a long time.

Si Nan raised his eyebrows and looked at the man beside him, "Would you like to comment?"

"I will reply." After a while, Tang Xuan replied.

"Huh?" Sinan didn't react for a moment.

Tang Xuan turned his head and looked at him intently, "If you write a letter, I will reply."

Sinan's little heart was beating "poundingly".

Is he the real son of God?

The person you're looking at happens to be crooked too?
