The fertile water of farming does not flow to outsiders' fields

All the ground was planted, the cattle pen was repaired, the little prince’s precious book was also in hand, and all the important things were done. Xue Yinsong hurried all the way to the city, wondering happily whether Xiao Biesheng’s newlyweds would be wiped out. Have a spark of romance.

The weather was getting hotter and the sun was getting hotter. Xue Yinsong took off his clothes because he was too hot to walk. There was a cloth coat inside, but such a thin cloth coat was uncomfortable to cover, and his back was already wet with sweat when he got home. , I had to go back to the backyard to change clothes.

Little Xiucai was not in the backyard. In fact, Xue Yinsong didn't find anyone at home except the boy who was napping in the sun in the shop.

"Where did they all go?" Xue Yinsong asked while buttoning his clothes.

The boy shrank his head: "The two young masters are studying, and Mr. Pei has gone to Lanyue Residence."

"Lanyueju?" Xue Yinsong raised his eyebrows.

"Mr. Pei said it's just a bunch of people reciting poems and composing poems." The young man looked listless, with his head bowed.

A few sour scholars gathered together to write obscene poems, Xue Yinsong twitched the corners of his mouth, probably because he had stayed in Chenjia Village for too long, so it is better to let him go for a walk: "The new wheat delivered a few days ago Is it all in the warehouse?"

The little guy nodded and managed to cheer up a bit: "8 cars came, all of them were placed in the big warehouse, the shopkeeper, our small warehouse, we need to expand it before the autumn harvest, otherwise our family will not be able to store much rice for the autumn harvest, and we will have spring rice next year." The price has risen and there is no rice to sell."

Xue Yinsong nodded. This is a problem. The shop he bought was not a rice shop, because the original house had not been changed, and the rice warehouse was indeed a bit small. The spring rice shortage is really a big problem.

"What happened to the two cats?" Xue Yinsong is most concerned about this matter at the moment. The big cat can't be released, and the range of activities is limited. It's hard to guarantee that the rats won't come to the house for a long time, and he still has to give birth to a kitten before he can rest assured.

"The female cat called Chun, but the male cat didn't seem to be in the mood, either eating or sleeping."

Xue Yinsong rubbed his chin and thought for a while. There is artificial insemination in modern society, but I have never heard of insemination of cats.

"Fortunately, they just ignore each other, and occasionally bump into each other and have to scratch a few times."

Artificial insemination Artificial insemination... It's a pity that this knowledge is too advanced, and Xue Yinsong has only heard of it, so it's not working now, so I can only pin my hopes on other cats: "I'm afraid there is a female cat you like, you can go find the original cat." As for the master, bring the tomcat's little daughter-in-law here."

The little guy was taken aback: "Isn't it worthy?"

"Matching, it's really not good, you have to give birth to any one." Xue Yinsong explained: "This cat belongs to the Wang family in the north of the city. Go find his house and get the original female cat."

The little guy agreed, and asked in a daze: "I'm going now?" Xue Yinsong looked at the sky and said, "How long has Mr. Pei been away? Why haven't you come back this afternoon?"

The young man replied lazily: "I've been away for several days, and I only come back after dark every day."

"Are you back after eating?"

The little guy shook his head: "I never had a meal, every time I cook for him to make fried bowls of cold rice with noodles or something."

Xue Yinsong raised his brows, which one is the song that goes out early and returns late?

The man thought about it and said again: "The two young masters have also come back late recently."

Do you want to rebel, the parents are not here, everyone is free to move around, Xue Yinsong nodded and asked: "What's the matter with you, what are you doing listlessly standing in this shop, I'll beat you if you lose your business, get out!"

The little guy backed away with a smile, and went to the back to bring a pot of tea: "The shopkeeper, it's not that the little one doesn't want to sell food seriously, but you don't come to our house to ask people who come and go, what do you say?" How can I sell this?"

Xue Yinsong scanned around, there was really no one at lunch time this afternoon, besides, people in ancient times were generally willing to go to familiar shops to buy things: "Don't worry, there will be people queuing up to our house to buy rice in the future .”

Of course the little guy didn’t believe it, but he didn’t dare to refute it on the surface, so he nodded with a “yes yes yes” and agreed: “Shopkeeper, if the cat in our shop is matched well, can there be a reward?”

Xue Yinsong raised his eyelids: "What do you want?"

"Can you reward ten big coins?"

"Hehe, isn't your tone small, what's the matter today?"

The little guy was a little distressed: "I was appointed relatives by my grandfather since I was a child, but my family has become more and more desolate. Now my mother-in-law refuses to recognize me, saying that she wants to marry Yeniang, and let me take ten taels of silver as a gift, alas! I It's not even close!"

Xue Yinsong took a sip of water and asked, "Can't we just find another one? Why hang on a tree?"

"Huh?" The boy didn't understand.

Xue Yinsong coughed and said, "I told you to find another woman."

"Of course not," the young man said seriously, "If I withdraw from the marriage at home, then Ye Niang's reputation will be ruined, so it is absolutely impossible."

"Since your mother-in-law is so difficult, why don't you just ask your family to withdraw?"

"This is the marriage that my grandfather made with her grandfather back then. Now that her grandfather is still alive, the mother-in-law must not dare to remarry and can only make things difficult for me." The young man looked distressed.

Xue Yinsong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Come here quickly, I'll give you a few pointers, and keep you married to a beautiful girl without spending a penny."

The young man rushed up to listen to what he said, his face turned blue and red, and he said after a long while: "What if the fake becomes real?"

Xue Yinsong shrugged: "Cold salad."

The little guy thought that although he took risks, he still had the hope of winning the risk, he thought about it and gritted his teeth: "Give it a try! If it doesn't work, then blame me for not being so lucky!"

Xue Yinsong laughed and said: "Wealth and wealth are in danger, you are useless if you don't gamble, why don't you take a chance! By the way, do you know where Lanyue lives? I'll go and have a look."

The little fellow had a new hope, so he cheered up and said, "It's not far away. It's next to the bookstore of the two young masters. There's a teahouse outside, but the signboard is very impressive. It's called: Ziyi. I heard it's from the former It was inscribed by the imperial pen of the emperor himself."

Xue Yinsong ordered him to take care of the shop, changed into clean clothes, and walked slowly to find it. While smacking his lips and thinking about the cold well water, he wondered what this talented scholar was doing lately.

Speaking of knowing Xiucai in the past two years, I haven't seen him write any poems or words, so why did he become so poetic and want to join the poetry club?

Xue Yinsong rubbed his chin unconsciously: This professor is indeed not at the same level as the farmer. Does that mean that in order to pursue harmony between husband and wife in the future, he must learn something about poetry and writing, and occasionally he would say something bitter: "Heaven is against earth." , rain against wind, continent against sky?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, well, this matter has to be stopped, the daughter-in-law can be pampered but she can't get used to it, and after everything goes well, she can't climb on top of him to do her best, no, definitely not.

Ziyi’s teahouse is not too small, and there are quite a lot of people at first glance. People who are full and have nothing to do dare to hang out here. Xue Yinsong glanced around: Most of them are listening to the opera, and some are sitting in the corner Those who drink tea and knock their teeth are really suitable.

"Man, how do I get to Lanyue Residence?" Xue Yinsong asked the boy who was bringing tea.

The servant raised his eyelids and glanced at him and said: "Lanyueju is not something that cats and dogs can enter. It is our boss's private house, and only those who have been invited can go."

When Xue Yinsong heard this, he was angry at his dantian, and said forcefully, "Then please inform me that I will come to find Pei Renjie."

The tea waiter then raised his head: "I can't get in, you go to the counter over there and talk to the shopkeeper."

Xue Yinsong had no choice but to go over and ask the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper sized him up and questioned him slowly, "What's your relationship with Mr. Pei?"

"Just go and report that Xue Yinsong is here and he will know. I just came back from a long trip, and the guy in the shop said he was here."

The shopkeeper nodded and left, and came back after a while, but his face was amiable: "Master Xue, please come in quickly, our master is here to invite you."

Generally, those who can be called masters are above Juren, Xue Yinsong followed the shopkeeper to the backyard in a deep voice, passed through a corner door, and then entered a small garden through a corridor.

It is not the season of flowers blooming at this time, but in the small courtyard, there are various flowers of different colors that cannot be named, and only the intoxicating fragrance can be smelled. son.

This is a good place, Xue Yinsong thought about looking around, and saw the pavilions and pavilions changing scenery, the painted corridors are beautiful, and the garden is full of vitality and spring, it is really a good place like a fairy place.

The shopkeeper led him through the garden, and saw a square pavilion built not far away, about seven or eight people were sitting in the pavilion, and the little scholar was talking in a slightly clear voice: "Brother Qin's words are wrong, this A country is a family, and a family is a country. The so-called big river is full of water, but it cannot be divided into two."

Another sharp voice said: "Now that the emperor is fatuous and incompetent, not to detect loyalty and treachery, what's the use of us trying to speak out? The heavenly dynasty has long been corrupted, and it is not possible to turn the situation around with one or two memorials. I advise you to wait." , it’s better to be wise and save yourself and buy a field early to go home for the elderly, maybe in a few years when there is a war, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to eat a few mouthfuls of white rice.”

The little scholar retorted: "Everyone is only for themselves. In the future, the country will not be a country. Although the government is chaotic, it is not yet the time to subjugate the country. If everyone stops in order to protect themselves, that is the real danger of the Celestial Empire. Well, Big Brother Xue said: Don’t ask what the country can do for you, but ask what you can do for the country, I think this is very true.”

The surroundings immediately became quiet for a moment, only to hear the man in the long gown say: "I often hear you say Big Brother Xue, but I don't know who it is. Brother Yu really wants to meet this person."

The little scholar happily replied: "He went back to his hometown to plant rice seedlings. Just now the housekeeper announced that he has arrived. Why don't you invite Brother Fu to come to our house some other day."

The voice said with a smile: "This is a tall hermit, who is willing to use his clothes to serve the farmland, but we are ashamed of ourselves."

Another voice retorted: "I think it's just fishing for fame, right? Since ancient times, to be a high-ranking hermit, you have to cultivate the land. You have to distinguish yourself from others to show your superiority, but I don't bother to do it."

The little scholar was about to refute, when the man in the long gown saw the two people standing under the gazebo and said, "Brother Pei, this is here to see you, right?"
