Li Daitao

This kind of disgraceful emperor's family affairs, before the real edict was issued, except for a few high-ranking ministers in the court knew about it, it would not spread it in a big way.And for a small and remote county like Fengtai, the news would come one and a half months later than other places.

If he hadn't learned about this from Li Minghai's letter, Yi Zhen would not have known about it at all, although he was quite concerned about it, but at this time, he really couldn't quench his thirst from afar, and he couldn't reach it for a while.He can only ask Li Minghai to pay more attention to this matter, if there is any news, please send it in a letter.

It would take several days to go back and forth, and I don't know if the capital has calmed down, and there is no news about this matter from Li Minghai's side.Even though Yi Zhen wanted to support Emperor Qing, he couldn't go back to the capital to find out.So he settled down and lived his rare peaceful life in a down-to-earth manner.

The local people in Fengtai are mostly farmers, except for a few who rely on hunting and gathering herbs to make a living.After autumn came, the government began to be busy with collecting grain and paying taxes. Yi Zhen also followed Chang Shi to several places in the countryside. He saw that some families were old and weak. They are all short of labor, and they can't take care of them once they enter.

When he left Beijing, he brought more than a dozen bodyguards with him, originally to guard against the remnants of Ze Guo's party coming to disturb him again.However, the matter of his going out of Beijing was handled very strictly, outsiders never heard of the slightest rumor, and there has been no incident for more than half a year.Yi Zhen saw that the whole group of people was idle, so apart from leaving four or five people to watch the house, he brought the rest with him every day, and asked them to help when he saw someone who needed help.Most of these guards came step by step from ordinary people's homes, and they have been too busy at home recently, so they have no objection to his arrangement.

What Yi Zhen has seen before is how rich and honored, besides the tax and annual salary of the fief, there are also many shops and farms under the name of the Hou Mansion.The family background is really rich.He said that he was a rich man, and he did not deceive Qin Shu.The salary given by the government is also dispensable to him, so naturally he has no greedy thoughts, it is not like the extortionate collection by officials in the past. He was also quite talkative and willing to tolerate for a few days. The villagers were very grateful for this visit and received warm hospitality wherever he went.Although they can't bring out many good things, they are better than their sincerity.Looking at those plain faces, Yi Zhen felt that it was more appreciated than any compliment, and he didn't care about running around and working hard.

Aside from being overjoyed, he couldn't help but feel that the people's life is not easy. The crops in the fields have just been harvested, and they are busy plowing the fields to prepare for another crop of spring. Not to mention the hard work throughout the year, more than half of the harvest will be returned. Pay government taxes.In addition, I also feel that all the squandering and wasting I used to do is really wrong.

Yi Zhen rubbed his chin and pondered, "Shouldn't the manager give the land rent a reduction or exemption when we go back?"

Qing Lan smiled and replied: "This is the kindness of the master."

Who doesn't love to hear good things?Yi Zhen was still able to hold his own in front of outsiders, but now that he had only a few brothers under his command, he was very rude.Xun Xun accepted it, nodded happily and said: "That is."

A group of people talked and laughed, and rode back all the way without feeling any hardship.

Jian An was squatting at the gate of the inner courtyard and counting ants, looking around from time to time.Seeing Yi Zhen coming back, he stood up abruptly and ran towards him unsteadily.He cheered and said, "Daddy, you're back!"

Yi Zhen really wanted to be nice to this kid, but this little guy was always a little afraid of him for some reason, and usually only clings to Qin Shu, not too close to him.

Being so enthusiastic about him right now is truly unique and unprecedented.Yi Zhen was overwhelmed by his fatherly coaxing, and was a little flattered.He took two steps forward, picked him up, lifted him up in the air and twirled around twice, kissed him on the face again, and said with a smile, "You're so good."

Yi Zhen walked around with him in his arms, and asked him, "Where's your little Shu's father?"

Jian An didn't answer, she lowered her head and turned up his sleeve: "Daddy, where's Li?"

Yi Zhen took out a pear for him, Jian An looked at it, put his hands behind his back, refused to take it, and said, "Where's the date?"

Yi Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile, "I have jujubes too, I'll get someone to bring them to you later."

Jian An seemed dissatisfied, thought hard, and then asked: "Where's the persimmon?" He asked a series of questions about the fruits he knew, until he counted the walnuts, but finally there was no such thing.Jian An seemed to be relieved, and insisted: "I want walnuts."

Yi Zhen followed him, and replied, "Okay, okay, I'll buy you walnuts in a while."

"I want it now, I'm going to pick it myself." Jian An said, looking at Yi Zhen eagerly. "Daddy, I want to pick fruit, take me out to pick fruit, go, go."

Yi Zhen just treated him as a child talking nonsense, and just laughed it off.Jian An quit, grabbed Yi Zhen's feet to the ground, hugged Yi Zhen's feet and began to act coquettishly, twisted her small body like a twist, and started crying: "I'm going to pick fruits on the mountain, I'm I want to go, daddy will take me out, oh..."

He made a fuss, slumped down, and was about to slip and roll on the ground, when he suddenly heard Qin Shu's voice calling, "Look at the dirt on the ground." Jian An immediately stood up straight, still entangled with Yi Zhen.

Yi Zhen heard the sound and looked over, seeing Qin Shu shrinking back from the corner, and being stared straight at him, he was startled, embarrassed to hide any longer, and walked out slowly, twisting He deliberately didn't look in the direction of the two of them.

Yi Zhen looked at the playful and playful little guy at his feet.Looking at Qin Shu's awkward appearance again, thinking back and forth, there is still something that I don't understand.The little guy knew how to beat around the bush like this, and the way he asked him if he wanted pears or dates was exactly like Xiao Shu.

A few days ago, Yin Ping took a leave of absence and went back to the village to help out. When he left, he promised him that he would pick persimmons and hawthorns from his hometown and bring them to him when he came.He firmly forgot in his heart.

During this period of time, there were not many people left at home, and he came back later than usual, so Qin Shu could only be with Jian An all day long.In the first few days, Qin Shu understood the truth and didn't urge Yi Zhen to come back sooner.After a few days, he began to ask Yi Zhen what he was doing out there?How did it take so long?When are you coming back?Yi Zhen also guessed that he was probably bored, but he couldn't find time for a while, so he had to comfort him first, and then made Qin Shu obedient.

After more than ten days like this, until today, Qin Shu was finally bored.

He himself didn't have the nerve to make a fuss, so he used his brains on Jian An. The little guy was crying and making a fuss to go out, and Qin Shu must have taught him all the tricks.

Yi Zhen squatted down, grabbed the little guy who was moving around, and asked with a smile: "Who taught you this? Who told you that there are fruits on the mountain?"

Jian An answered quickly: "No one taught me, I went by myself." After saying this, he puffed out his small chest and looked at Qin Shu flatteringly. He looked very proud, which meant a lot Clearly, look, I have memorized everything, and there is nothing wrong with it!

Yi Zhen straightened up and said with a smile, "Xiao Shu?"

Qin Shu's face showed a slight embarrassment after his tricks were exposed.After a while, he walked over slowly, lowered his head and stopped two steps away from him: "My brother made a fuss about going out, I didn't make a fuss, my brother is disobedient, I'm a good boy."

He used the words of picking fruit to coax Jian An, but after thinking about it, he himself couldn't resist the temptation.He frowned, looking very struggling, hesitating for a long time.Finally, he went forward and grabbed Yi Zhen's arm, and shook it gently: "Take us there."

Jian An was still holding his leg and twisting it back and forth: "Go, go, go!"

The one big and one small were afraid of hearing him say no, they all looked at Yi Zhen eagerly with eager eyes, who could stand such a situation.

To be honest, Qin Shu didn't go out a few times during the half a year or so in Fengtai. Yi Zhen had already planned to finish these things, so he took him out to have a good time, but he didn't expect him to be so impatient, so he couldn't help Angry and funny, with a little guilt in his heart, he said to the two of them with a straight face: "I went out to do things, not to play. What kind of fruit did you pick? Besides, did your family grow the fruit yourself? Think about it?" Can you pick it up casually?"

Qin Shu thought for a while, and said confidently: "Buy the fruit tree and pick it." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out for Yi Zhen's wallet.

Yi Zhen didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Spend all the money, so my brother doesn't have to eat?"

Qin Shu said ah, stopped his hands, and looked at him suspiciously: "Didn't you say that our family is rich?"

Yi Zhen didn't blush and didn't breathe, and said in Qin Shu's words before: "But our family has so many mouths to eat, we ate up all the money."

Qin Shu groaned again, he didn't worry about anything else, he obviously believed it, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.He pursed his lips and didn't speak in a daze.After letting go of Yi Zhen's arm for a while, he bent down to coax Jian An instead: "My brother, be good, we won't go pick the fruit anymore."

Yi Zhen knew that it was abhorrent for him to tease him like this, but he just couldn't control himself, the more he saw Qin Shu was serious, the more he wanted to tease him, it was like this from before.At this time, he was smiling and watching him distressed.

The two of them were speechless for a moment, but they forgot that Jian An was on the side. He could understand everything now.Hearing what the two fathers said, it was obvious that they couldn't take him to pick the fruit, and they couldn't help but feel very sad. They just pretended to cry, and now they don't need to pretend.

This child is considered sensible, even though he is very sad, he does not cry like ordinary children, but choked up and said: "I don't want to eat...I want to pick fruit..."

Not to mention Qin Shu's love for him, even Yi Zhen felt a little regretful about taking the joke too far, and was about to change his mind.Qin Shu raised his head and looked at him very firmly: "You take us out, I will do whatever Qinglan and the others can do. I will help you support your family, so you don't have to worry."

Seeing Yi Zhen stunned, he thought he was in trouble, and quickly said: "Then I don't need wages, as long as I can pick a few fruits."

Yi Zhen was quite moved in his heart, forced a smile, and then stepped off the stage: "That's fine, I'll go and ask the house with fruit trees to see if they need help."

Jian An cheered, and the tears stopped immediately.Although Qin Shu didn't get too carried away, he was very happy.

When Yi Zhen dragged the two back into the room, one left and one right, and saw that there was already a wrapped package on the table, it was obvious that the two had already made plans to go out.Jian An couldn't wait, climbed up on the stool to get it, wishing to leave immediately.

Yi Zhen said: "It's tomorrow's business to go. If you go out now, the city gate will be closed. After a while, it will be dark and the lights will be dark. You won't even be able to see the road. Where are you going?" Live in Jane Ann.Looking at the package that was prepared, the two people who were clamoring to pick the fruit also prepared some fruit snacks, so they couldn't help but smile.

Qin Shu was obviously very excited, tossing and turning all night, apparently unable to sleep.It wasn't until Yi Zhen forced him to close his eyes at last that he fell asleep for a while in a daze.Even so, he still got up early the next day, and even took the initiative to kiss Yi Zhen on the face, and then ran out to call Jian An.

Yi Zhen rubbed his face in a daze for a while, originally planning to find a nearby orchard to coax the two of them.But now he has changed his mind, and simply stopped working for a day and took them to have fun all day.
