A scholar becomes a landlord

Wei Le's voice came in from outside.

"Yes, leave some for me."

Brother Xiang Tian pulled Cheng Yong out and ate the most forcefully, making him forget the troubles just now. Even Wei Fan didn't chase Xiaoxue for peaches, but ran out to eat peanuts and edamame.

Last time because of Yi's family, the atmosphere in Wei's family was a little gloomy, he was unhappy even eating peanuts and edamame, this time he has to make up for it.

"I had someone prepare ebony soup, and I drank it while eating it. It tastes really good."

Wei Le took a sip of the warm ebony soup, unlike the iced ones that everyone else had, he could only drink warm ones.Looking at his unique ebony soup, Wei Le smiled at Yi Feng.

"eat."

The peeled peanuts and edamame are served in a small plate, and a pair of chopsticks are placed on the plate.

"...No need to do that."

Wei Le twitched the corners of his mouth, and under Yi Feng's firm gaze, he could only eat with his chopsticks.

Woo~~ He obviously wants to peel and eat by himself, so what fun is there in eating with chopsticks.

"good."

Yi Feng wiped his hands and patted his head.Just eat it with chopsticks, he will peel it for him.The temperament of a scholar needs to be maintained occasionally, and Yi Feng does not want him to be judged.

"never mind."

Wei Le takes the soft but not the hard, Yi Feng can't hold on even if he wants to.

Anyway, someone is taking care of him, and Wei Le can eat without getting his hands dirty, so what is there for him to be dissatisfied with?

"Let me tell you, I once ate a five-flavored peanut, which was delicious. Let Daxue try to cook it later. It would be the most delicious if it can be served with wine."

Wei Fan swallowed his saliva while speaking, it can be seen that the taste of the five-spice peanuts is really good, so he can't forget it.

"Hee hee, Xiao Fanzi said so, Daxue, why don't you try it later." Brother Xiang Tian also wanted to try the five-spice peanuts that Wei Fan praised, are they really so delicious?

"Yes, Lord Xiang."

Daxue didn't refuse, but the one who really wanted to make the first taste was not Wei Fan, but the young master.

"Daxue, I remember that my teacher gave you a piece of pink cotton silk, and I will give it to you later. You two sisters will each make a new suit. This is my reward from the young master."

Wei Le treats Xiaoxue better than the men in his family, and they take good care of him, so he usually treats them preferentially.

"Thank you sir."

Daxue and Xie Weile squatted down at the same time, and the two girls were very happy.Although they had a lot more things to do after they came to Wei's house, and their hands were no longer as smooth as before because they were always cooking, but they lived happier.The young master even rewarded them with ointment for protecting their hands. It is said that after a period of time, their hands will return to their original state.

I don't know the result yet, but my hands did not get thicker after wiping.

"The weather is good recently, let's go fishing by the river next time we rest!"

Wei Le suddenly became interested, but today is not suitable anymore, it's already afternoon.The next time he was going, Yi Feng and the others nodded and said yes.

It's just that the plan is not as fast as the change. I really wait until the next break comes, but I only wait for a heavy rain.

"Hey, why is it raining?"

Wei Le retracted his fingers that were wet by the rain angrily.

"There is more rain in summer, which is normal."

Yi Feng calmly wiped the water off his hands with a handkerchief.

"Speaking of which, it has been raining for the past few days. I don't know how the crops in the field are doing." All the wheat has been put into storage, and the tax that should be paid has also been paid. Now it is mainly the rice problem. With such a heavy rain, I worry that the sills of the fields will be washed away. .

"Those long-term workers you hired are old-fashioned, and they know how to deal with it."

Those long-term workers have all lived in Wei's house recently, and they go out every day to check the situation in the field. The drainage work is doing well.

"Fortunately, I only have [-] acres that I haven't rented out, so it's not too troublesome. But if it keeps raining like this, the autumn harvest will definitely not be good this year."

Wei Le started to worry. He didn't worry about the tax, but he began to doubt how much money he would have left after the tax.If it's too bad, it's not easy for him to collect rent, and he will start to lose money before he earns a year's harvest.

"I asked Daxue to make chicken soup, you can drink some. You don't need to worry about these things. If the disaster is serious, the higher authorities will definitely exempt or reduce taxes. Your Majesty is good."

Yi Feng still has confidence in today's saint, he is a promising king.

"Well, I see."

Wei Le nodded. As long as the emperor doesn't have to collect taxes, even if there is a flood this year, the people should not be too sad. After all, the harvest in the first half of the year is still there. As long as you save some food, you should be able to survive this year.

"Do not worry!"

"understood."

The two sat under the eaves drinking chicken soup, chatting a few words from time to time, the scene was obviously very ordinary, but it was hard to get close to, Wei Fan scratched his head, and finally went to the kitchen to ask Xiaoxue what he had for lunch today, so he didn't bother Those two are gone.

On a rainy day, the temperature dropped. Daxue and Xiaoxue prepared sliced ​​noodles and chicken soup. Although they were sweating from eating, everyone felt comfortable.Wei Le was so comfortable that he didn't want to walk, so he just rested in the study at noon.

In the afternoon, the rain gradually lessened.

Seeing this, Wei Le probably wouldn't cause a flood.

I just don't know if there will be some interesting aquatic products in the river after the rain, such as crabs and king and eight.

"Would you like to go out and have a look?"

Yi Feng asked while holding a bamboo hat and coir raincoat.

"Yes." Wei Le stood up and changed immediately. Fortunately, he was wearing a short jacket today, so it was convenient for him to travel.

The two of them didn't need to wear any other shoes when they went out in summer, they just put on Li Dahai's straw sandals and went out excitedly.

Come to a small canal somewhere by the river, this is a branch of the river!There were a lot of aquatic plants growing in the ditch, Wei Le and Yi Feng lifted the aquatic plants and found fish, and they were not small.Use the basket directly, and the fish will enter the basket.

Put another basket in the water, and put a stone in it, so that the fish can't escape even if there is water.Then the two searched for fish and crabs in the grass, he didn't even let go of the smaller ones, the small fish also have the beauty of small fish, how can we let go of such a rare opportunity.

Soon Wei Fan also came, still holding a bucket in his hand.

"Just right."

Change the fish in the basket to the bucket. Two baskets can catch fish faster than one basket, and they can also hold crabs.

The three of them not only caught a lot of fish, but also Crab King and Ba, and even let Wei Le pick up a river clam, which actually contained a pearl the size of a little finger.

"People's luck is coming, and it can't be stopped." Holding the pearl, Wei Le stood in the water smiling like a child.

"Yeah, Xiao Le's luck is really good."

Yi Feng is the one who agrees to everything Wei Le says, let alone Wei Le is proud of himself now!

"Hey, young master is very lucky today. Not only did he catch so many big fish and small fish, but also dozens of crabs and three big kings and eights. Even the river mussels were automatically delivered to the door."

Wei Fan also began to pay attention to the mussels that he didn't pay attention to just now, maybe there is a pearl in these mussels!

"Okay, this thing is hard to come by, and you will lose your luck if you force it too much." Wei Le shook his head. The pearls now are all wild, which is different from the cultured ones in later generations. It really takes luck to meet them!

Wei Le carefully put the pearl in his purse and put it in his bosom, but he couldn't let it drop.

Of course, he has seen pearls before, and even bigger homes have them.But this is the only one he picked up by himself, so he cherishes it very much.

"Don't throw this clam away, put it back in the pond, maybe it can regenerate!"

Wei Fan had a good idea, but Wei Le ignored him and threw the mussel back into the river.

"Don't be too greedy, taking its pearls is already too much, so what's the point of keeping others in captivity!"

"Hey~ what a pity!"

Wei Fan yelled, and could only watch helplessly as the mussel was thrown back into the river.

"Okay, we should go back after a while, this small canal has been almost overturned by us."

Yi Feng quickly said, if Wei Fan wants to quarrel with Wei Le, don't overturn the barrel and let the fish go.

I don't know what's going on with Wei Fan, he always likes to bicker with Wei Le, although he loses nine out of ten times, but it doesn't matter if the two quarrel, who knows what will happen next!

"Oh~~"

Yi Feng spoke, and both of them fell silent.

"Brother Yi, where are you looking?"

Wei Le pointed to a bush.

"what?"

Yi Feng was pulled by Wei Le and nearly fell into the water.But looking along his hand, I saw a smear of red swimming in the grass.

"I'll catch it."

Wei Fan also saw it, and without waiting for the two of them to react, he walked over and caught the redness at a speed that even a fish could not react to.

"Wow, red carp."

Wei Le exclaimed, this is the first time he has seen such a beautiful red carp!

"It's red and has fish whiskers. Is this really a carp?"

Wei Fan looked at the carp that was completely different from the carp he usually ate, and began to doubt it.

"No way?" Wei Le and Yi Feng both came over and looked at the carp in his hand. It really had whiskers, and they were as long as little fingers.

"The carp leaps over the dragon's gate, hehe, isn't this a dragon carp?"

Wei Le laughed dryly, looking at Yi Feng and Wei Fan, not knowing what to do.

Although the carp has whiskers, they are only a little bit, he has never seen such long whiskers.

And it was a carp so red that its whole body glowed with golden light, just like the one in the New Year painting.

They have all heard the allusion of the carp jumping over the dragon's gate.

So what to do now?The three looked at each other.

"Let him go."

In the end, Wei Le made the decision.Regardless of whether this guy is or not, after time travel, Wei Le is a little bit superstitious, not to mention Wei Fan and Yi Feng, they are ancient people, although they are not particularly superstitious, but they believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.

"it is good."

Wei Fan put the fish in Yi Wei Le's hand.

"You go and let it go."

He's a little creepy.

"You worthless, get out of the way."

Wei Le grabbed the fish with both hands, pushed the people away, and walked towards the river.

Since it is going to be released, of course it cannot be placed in a small ditch. What if someone catches it again?Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.With the help of Yi Feng, Wei Le found a place with flat water and put this strange red carp into the river.

When the three people were surprised, the carp was not in a hurry to leave when it was put into the river. Instead, it swam around the three people a few times, and even jumped out of the water. It was so happy that it almost surpassed the heads of the three people.

"Let's go! Be careful in the future, don't get caught again."

Wei Le reached into the water and touched it lightly. The carp didn't know if it understood what he said, and then swam away.It was not until the redness was no longer visible on the surface of the water that the three of Wei Le went ashore from the river.
