Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

The construction of the fort has not yet officially started. As spring approaches, Wen Lun has gradually realized what it means to build a large building.

As the foreman, Song Lin no longer had the time to hold onto Wen Lun to ask questions these days. Relying on his superb lightness skills, he ran particularly diligently up and down the mountain.

The road under the mountain has gradually resumed traffic, and the material preparation work can finally start at a higher pace, but...

"This small place in Longzhou County doesn't have many things."

In fact, in the construction of the fort in Dacha Village, the largest amount of stone can be solved on the spot, and the timber can also be obtained in Longzhou County.But for other related accessories, it is impossible to have such a large quantity in stock, and they all need to be rebuilt.Although a part has been made, the number of workshops in Longzhou County is limited, even if the twenty craftsmen brought by Song Lin can help, it will hardly help.

Song Lin planned to go to Fucheng in the next few days.

Wen Lun and Xiong Da were also preparing to go: "Let's go together."

Song Lin nodded without surprise.Wen Lun's student Yao Qing hit the top of the case, causing an uproar in the entire Dacha Village.Of course, the villagers in Dacha Village are envious and envious, and they don't have a deep understanding of the value of a criminal under the age of ten.But it was different in the county town below the mountain, especially in the county magistrate's mansion, it was almost counted as a slap directly on the face, and he was even stepped on by the head.

In the capital, Song Lin was used to seeing the secrets of wealthy families, and he could infer all these things in the county magistrate's mansion just by looking at them.It's all right now.A concubine eldest son who they were eager to send out, turned out to be a case leader.And the few sons that their family favored are not as good as the students taught by the eldest son of a concubine.Even though the few sons of the county magistrate's house do not need to take the imperial examination route, everyone has studied in the Fucheng Academy. Who doesn't know who's level?

The matriarch of the county magistrate's mansion has been ridiculed behind her back many times.

Because they didn't plan to go for a long time this time, Wen Lun and Xiong Da's luggage had already been packed.

Donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages were not allowed on the mountain road, Xiong Da went straight down the mountain with his wife on his back, and Wen Lun didn't even have a small package on him.

Song Lin, carrying two packages alone, shook his head.But when he thought of what he had gained from Wen Lun's place, he immediately became willing again.

No one knew, or Wen Lun knew. After all, Song Lin used Wen Lun's study these days to deliver news to the palace.Song Lin couldn't say how much these things Wen Lun usually used for fun could bring about changes in the entire Qi country.It's totally right to give Mr. Wen a burden or something.

The two masters descended the mountain faster than ordinary donkeys and horses.Wen Lun lay on Xiong Da's back, feeling like he hadn't slept long before reaching the foot of the mountain.

The carriage and all the affairs of the county government are ready.The three of them didn't stop much.The old county uncle was unwell, so Wen Lun and Xiong Da took a look. When it came time to pay for the departure, it was Mrs. Liu who came out to see him off on behalf of the family, with a frozen expression on his face as if frozen by ice and snow.

Wen Lun was a little worried that this aunt's face would collapse, so he left quickly.

The carriage was very comfortable, although there was nothing particularly luxurious about it, it made Song Lin breathe a sigh of relief.

The coachman's surname is Yu, he is from the Wu family, he is honest and honest and doesn't talk much.

General Xiong lifted the curtain of the car to let in air, and sat on the upper vent to shield Wen Lun from the wind: "This time there are craftsmen, our family will also make two carriages, just like the carriages in the study." His daughter-in-law He is already a member of Xiong's family, so he can't keep making the county magistrate's house prepare east and west like this.

It's not that Xiong Da didn't realize that this was bad, but firstly, he was too busy, and secondly, the entire county town was almost under the nose of the county magistrate's mansion, and he couldn't get around it no matter what he did.However, just setting up a house is not a big deal. It is better to pile up some things at ordinary times, or it is too late to go up the mountain for a night's rest or something, than in the county magistrate's mansion.

Song Lin raised his brows, and was just about to say that it's not good to use such a public tool for private use, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he immediately fell silent when he thought of the model carriage in the study.The chariot can be lit in the carriage, there are various card slots, it can also be assembled into a bed board, and there are all kinds of useful designs, not only the blueprints, but even the model. He insisted on asking Wen Lun for one and sent it to the prince. up.

The royal family also has this kind of functional application in the carriage, but the carriage of the royal family is much larger, and most of them are used for ostentation.If you want to travel lightly and easily, it is impossible.

As for the carriage, when the curtains are hung in winter, there is almost no light inside.Wen Lun was a little sleepy, leaning on Xiong Da's shoulder, allowing Xiong Da to cover his hands: "The real thing is more troublesome than the model, how can it be so simple?"

Xiong Da dislikes the existence of Song Lin very much.If it weren't for this guy, he would have covered his wife's feet: "It's okay, those twenty craftsmen are amazing, they can handle it." Isn't it just a carriage!

Before Wen Lun and the others arrived at the county seat, someone from the Xiong family had passed the news to Yao Qing and Huang Zhen in advance.Huang Zhen also seized the time and began to arrange a teacher appreciation banquet.

The influence of the newly-promoted porridge giving has not yet receded from Fucheng.The period between winter and spring is the most difficult period for poor people.Almost every day in the porridge shed, you can see the people kneeling and kowtow in gratitude.Fucheng is prosperous, but there are also poor families.

Those who had originally disliked Yao Qing's actions secretly shut up after seeing the actual situation.

"At a young age, I'm trying to catch my name."

"Be careful!"

"So what if it's just trying to gain fame? At least they really let so many ordinary people eat porridge and rice for a few days. What about you?"

"Hey! It's just a few porridge sheds, I can save a little between my young master's teeth. Come on, I will set up porridge sheds for my young master at the gates of the four cities starting tomorrow!"

"Then I'll take advantage of the convenience and send a few jars of kimchi."

So, when Wen Lun and the others arrived in Anjiang City, what they saw was the porridge shed that was about to be closed.On top of the colorful multigrain porridge, there is a handful of sour kimchi or pickled radish.

Seeing Dr. Xiong's blank face, Song Lin explained, "It's all thanks to Yao Qing."

Ok?

Following Song Lin's explanation, Wen Lun and Xiong Da finally turned the corner.These porridge sheds have long since had nothing to do with Yao Qing.Instead, the academy took the lead and asked students or gentry who were willing to donate the porridge to contribute food and money.

Even those from ordinary families also contribute a lot in all aspects of porridge giving.In the end, with an announcement full of names, everyone has earned a reputation.

When they arrived in Fucheng, Song Lin had another place to go, so he parted ways with Wen Lun and the others.

The carriage arrived at the tea house first.Huang is really busy.

Since the beginning of the Tongsheng Examination, the teahouse has been a thriving business as a gathering place for literati and poets, and this wave of enthusiasm has not subsided until now.There are fewer of you guys here.

Wen Lun listened to Huang Zhen's report, and didn't take it seriously: "I'm getting older, and the cold weather is still comfortable at home. Ah Qing is still in the academy?"

"No, the academy is on vacation for a few days. The young master is handing out invitations these days." Originally, Huang Zhen wanted to go with him, but Yao Qing flatly refused. He could only look at a small child with a A little taller than him was running around.Fortunately, they were always accompanied by a guard, otherwise Huang Zhen would really be worried.

Xiong Da looked at the operation status of the teahouse: "If you are too busy, please invite a few more people. Or see if there are any available, promoted, and cultivated under your staff. Also, please contact the place where the teacher appreciation banquet is held. Is it gone?"

The teacher appreciation banquet is not held in the teahouse.It's not that Xiong Da is reluctant to do business for a day, but it's inconvenient to set it up in a teahouse.The last teacher apprentice banquet was already tossed enough, this time it is better to hold it elsewhere to save trouble.

Huang Zhen directly mentioned a few places: "At first, I planned to rent a garden directly, and invite a play... But the young master didn't like it, so I chose Yunlai Restaurant."

Yunlai Restaurant is near the academy. It is opened by the family of a gentleman in the academy, and the decoration is elegant.There are often students and gentlemen from the academy, three or five people get together in Yunlai Restaurant.The key is being close to home.Wen Lun didn't want to run around in the cold weather.

Wen Lun didn't sit in the teahouse for long before he was urged by Xiong Da to go back to his home in Fucheng.

When I got home, the guard opened the door.The yard was swept clean. I haven't been here for a few months, but it's not much different from before.

Zhuo An was kneading the dough in the kitchen, when he heard the voice he hurried out, and after saluting, he said: "The noodles are being prepared, they will be ready soon."

With the cold wind blowing outside, eating a bowl of hot soup and water, I feel my whole body is thawed.

Not long after the two finished eating, the three of Yao Qing came back.

The guards were busy unloading the cart and leading the horse, Yao Qing jumped off the carriage and threw himself into Wen Lun's arms.

Xiong Da quickly helped his daughter-in-law on her back, otherwise she would have to be knocked down.He looked at the child whom he hadn't seen for several months, but he couldn't bear to scold him.

Wen Lun patted Yao Qing's back, made a gesture with one hand, and frowned.Why doesn't this child seem to grow taller?Excessive use of the brain, all nutrients are supplied to the brain, but not to the body?

Yao Qing seemed to have had enough of lying down, and finally muttered: "Sir."

"Ok?"

Yao Qing rubbed against each other, raised her red face, whispered into Wen Lun's ear, "Ah Qing wants to sleep with Mr. at night."

Xiong Da immediately glanced over, you brat!

"Okay." Wen Lun said nothing.

That night, after being kicked three times in the stomach by Yao Qing, Wen Lun finally put the child on the other side of Xiong Da.Xiong Da, who was sleeping in the middle, showed his strong physique as a martial arts practitioner, and guarded the two sleeping irregularly, one big and one small.

The teacher appreciation banquet is three days later.The entire Yunlai restaurant was booked for two days.

The first day is to thank the teachers, and the second day is to communicate with classmates.Song Lin also came over for two meals, and secretly slipped a letter to Yao Qing.

Wen Lun pretended not to see it.

Xiong Da frowned, but didn't say anything.Today's attitude towards the crown prince is well known to everyone, just wait for the crown prince to succeed to the throne as an adult, so that he can be the overlord.If Yao Qing wanted to enter the court, it wouldn't be a big problem to have a relationship with the prince now.

The negligence of the two completely missed another possibility.
