A scholar becomes a landlord

"Yes, little one understands."

Although Royal Wine has a great reputation, since it was given to the young master, then the young master has the right to dispose of it, and the emperor can't care what other people's things are handled, right?It's not a gift from the imperial court, so it's better to give it up alive.The wine master said it all in his letter, it was a gift in return.

"Xiao Le, you are so good, you can even get the royal wine." Brother Xiang Tian and Cheng Yong asked Yi Feng for his blessing, but they drank a small pot, which Yi Feng specially left for them.But the jug was too small, there was not enough for two people to drink, so naturally they didn't enjoy themselves.

"Hehe." Wei Le laughed dryly, turned and left.

"what happened to him?"

Brother Xiang Tian didn't understand why Wei Le's two laughs just now were a little vague, so he asked Yi Feng who knew him best.

"When you see the imperial gift at home in the future, don't make such a fuss. It's just that you know it, and don't spread it around outside."

"Yes."

Several people responded at the same time, but they became more curious about Wei Le. They indeed found many incredible things in Wei's house, not to mention that it is rare to see them in ordinary families, even in the homes of high-ranking officials in the capital. can see.

I heard that Wei Le also has a hot spring village, and he has promised everyone to take everyone to the hot spring in winter, but the origin of this hot spring village is also very strange, because any place where there is a hot spring is found, it will be taken away by rich and powerful people. Baoyuan, how did Wei Le, such a not-so-small hot spring village, get his hands on it?If Master Liu gave it to him, Wei Le would not hide it. Obviously, the person who gave it could not be Master Liu. If it was Master Liu, he would have made it clear to Wei Le before he left, instead of sending someone to send the title deed afterwards. .

Brother Xiang Tian and the others were almost dying of curiosity. They didn't know anything about the recipes that Wei Leming sent out secretly, but they were just surprised that Wei's family already had many things bought outside before they appeared, and they often bought them. Someone sent it to Wei's house, and it was said that it was free of charge.

So Wei Le has become a person who is knowledgeable and mysterious in everyone's mind.

In addition to appreciating chrysanthemums and climbing high on the Double Ninth Festival, what else is there?Of course it is to eat crabs!

Just two days before the Double Ninth Festival, when the door of Wei's house was opened, he saw a basket of crabs placed in front of the door.These crabs are quite big, and they can be regarded as the rare best among river crabs.

Picking them up one by one, they were all female crabs. To eat crabs in this season is to eat female crabs, so even Wei Le was startled by this.

Walking to the gate, Wei Le looked around and found many villagers hiding in the dark and watching people quietly.With a calm expression on his face, someone moved the crab in, but when he entered the door...

"Thank you, everyone, you don't need to be so troublesome in the future, just keep it for yourself!"

This crate of crabs can be sold in the city for a lot of money!

Seeing Wei Le accepting the crabs, everyone went home happily.Although this crate of crabs can be exchanged for a lot of money if sold in the city, how can it compare to their gratitude to Mr. Wei, which cannot be measured by money.

But how did Mr. Wei know that they sent it?Could it be that Mr. Wei can pinch and count?The villagers who had already shown their feet scratched their heads and thought.

"Daxue, Xiaoxue, if you can raise these crabs, you can raise them. If you can't raise them, you can steam them, boil them, fry them, or make them into buns and snacks. In short, get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Wei Le looked at a pile of crabs and said with a headache.

"Yes, sir."

The young master has already sent crabs to the capital, and they are all the same as the ones sent by these villagers. They are all big female crabs.The river crab outside Li Village is that kind of meaty crab, which is very suitable for eating, not only the cream is also yellow.

It's just that because of the geographical location, there aren't many rich and noble people here to grab the land, so every year, people in Li Village can catch some crabs and go to the city to exchange money, but today people in Li Village probably save all the best ones for others. Wei Le sent it.

The Wei family guessed right, the people in Li Village really kept the best ones and gave them away this year, and only sent the best ones to sell for money.As a result, people in several surrounding counties are muttering why the crabs sold outside this year are not as big as those in previous years, and most of them are male crabs.

But the muttering is muttering, crabs are still for sale, even if the family is not very good, you have to buy two and steam them for your family to try.It was impossible for them to think that because the people in Li Village gave the best to the gentlemen in their own village, and sold the poor ones.

With so many crabs, it was very troublesome for Xiaoxue to deal with, so everyone in the family who could spare time went to help.Dozens of steamed crabs were placed on the table at noon, because this method is the simplest, and Xiaoxue didn’t have time to make side dishes, so he just steamed it and served it up.Wei Le is relatively weak, so he only ate two.The rest of the Wei family divided up and settled it quickly.

In the last pile of crabs, apart from keeping some of them for the festival, the remaining crab roe was dug out to make various delicacies. Wei Le also took the opportunity to eat a lot.There is also crab meat, if you can make it dry, you can make it dry, if you can't, you can make it all together and cook it into porridge.

Eating crabs and drinking chrysanthemum wine, Wei's family lived a happy life these two days.Only Wei Le can only eat two crabs and a few crab roe buns a day, nothing but jealousy.Next year when he is in good health, he will eat crabs and drink heavily, although his alcohol capacity is very poor.

"It's okay, let's eat more next year, let's forget it this year, no matter how delicious it is, it can't compare to your own body, right?"

Yi Feng comforted him, and picked out all the crab roe and gave it to Wei Le. It's okay to eat more of this crab, and Wei Le won't eat the rest.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the whole family of Wei's family went out, and brought Wei Le's four disciples with them, and the whole family went climbing.

Everyone carries something on their backs. It is obviously not enough to climb the mountain, but also food.

The mountain to climb is the tallest and most beautiful mountain around Li Village. It is still higher than the two mountains Wei Le bought. Occasionally, literati and elegant guests come to visit the mountain, so Landlord Li is still very relieved that his children will follow their husband. We went climbing together.

Wei Le also carried something on his back, but it was only light dishes.

Several children carried cloth for spreading, chopsticks, spoons and seasonings on their backs.

A group of people set off in a mighty way,

As they walked, the four children had to recite the Chongyang poems they had learned. If they made a mistake, they would have to copy it fifty times. So they all recited it very carefully. rejoice.

Climbing a mountain is a very hard job, and a few children can't walk halfway through the climb.

Yi Feng, Brother Xiang Tian, ​​Cheng Yong, and Wei Fan carried a child each, and did not let them go until they reached the top of the mountain.

"Huh, Brother Wei?"

There are many literati and elegant guests on the mountain who came early, and there are still people who know Wei Le.

"Ah, brother Xie."

Wei Le put down the things on his back, straightened his clothes and bowed his hands to the other party.

This person is a scholar he met during the year-old exam, he is a relatively well-known scholar in the county, his studies are solid, his character is not bad, so Wei Le still remembers him.

"Brother Wei, do you live near here?" Seeing that Wei Le and his family brought up big bags and small bags, they probably live around here, otherwise how could they bring a lot of things up here.It's good enough for them to bring wine and some dry food, unlike Wei Le who even brought crabs.

"Yes, it's just below Li Village, very close."

Wei Le pointed to the village below to show him, it was indeed very close!

"Brother Wei, come, come, let me introduce you to a few people, all of whom are well-known talents in our county."

A scholar surnamed Xie grabbed Wei Le's hand and wanted to introduce him to the scholar he had been climbing.

"Brother Xie, don't be so anxious, can you let me talk to my family?"

Wei Le hurriedly stopped him, but he didn't expect that this man surnamed Xie was so impatient, even if he wanted to go with him, he had to make it clear to his family, otherwise, leaving like this would make everyone worry to death!He thought they had been kidnapped, so he had to beat them up. "That's right, that's right, I'm being reckless, Brother Wei, hurry up and come back."

Xie Xiucai let go of Wei Le's words and asked him to talk to Wei's family.

"I'll go back as soon as I go, you guys prepare first! Steam the crabs more, I guess there will be a lot of food and drink in a while, so don't take out the wine, a group of crazy literati got drunk and went down the mountain to have an accident Not good.

Wei Le was very thoughtful, and of course the Wei family would not agree.What they brought was royal wine, it would be a pity to drink it for this group of people, let's keep it for yourself and drink it slowly!

The most important thing is that I didn't expect to meet someone I knew today. The imperial wine was brought along with the jar, and the imperial seal on it was not lifted. If someone accidentally saw it, it would be a big trouble.

It's not that something will happen to Wei Le, but it's because they are afraid that people will know that Wei Le can get the imperial wine. After everyone thinks that he has some mysterious and ulterior identity, they come to curry favor one by one. It's enough troublesome people, that's why Wei Le doesn't want to be known that his family can have a relationship with the royal family.

Most people only know that he has a gentleman who is a Beijing official, and this relationship alone can make him walk sideways in the county. There is no need for irrelevant people to know about the bigger backstage.

"Go! Don't stay too long." Yi Feng saw that the surname Xie was not pleasing to the eye, so he dared to hold Xiao Le's hand and waited on the way home.

"okay, I get it."

Wei Le agreed, said a few more words to everyone, and walked towards Xie Xiucai with his fan.Although it is a trip, but considering the image outside, what Wei Le wears today is not a short shirt that is convenient for activities, but a Confucian shirt that represents status.

"Brother Xie, please." Wei Le cupped his hands.

"Please." Xie Xiucai led Wei Le towards his base camp.

"Xieming, who is this person you are bringing with you?"

Not everyone knows Wei Le in the county. Although these scholars and Wei Le took the New Year's Examination together, they sit quite far away, and Wei Le has always been the type to leave after the exam, so in fact, I have never seen any of them. Wei Le's true face, I just heard that a person in their county who was qualified as a granary student last year moved from another place.

"Wei Le, last year's granary student, don't tell me you don't remember?" Xie Ming smiled, and everyone stood up immediately when they heard that it was Wei Le. He was sought after by many scholars.

Although the words are gorgeous, the content is very pragmatic, and it is not empty words.
