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

Xue Yinsong thought about it for a while, and arranged: "We sleep on the other side, and the two children sleep on the other side."

The four lay down separately, and Changhui asked in a low voice in the dark, "Aba, tell me a story. I haven't heard a story for a long time."

The little scholar also booed: "Let's talk, tell the story of the case-solving." Changhui pouted: "No, no, I have to listen to the gods." Pei Yuanqi also said: "Godfather, tell the story of the gods and ghosts, come on!" Sub-Changhui spoke up and down, I didn't understand."

Chang Hui said angrily: "You're just tossing things around." Pei Yuanqi hurriedly apologized, but Xiao Xiucai refused: "No ghosts, no ghosts." Then he climbed over Xue Yinsong's body and pushed him into the wall: "You sleep inside , I turned my back to the wall and felt panicked."

Xue Yinsong laughed and said, "Do you think the outside is good? There is a wall protecting the inside, and there is a layer of cloth curtain outside, maybe..." Before he finished speaking, the little scholar pulled him out again, and rolled into it by himself. bed.

The four laughed and made noises loudly, and were reprimanded by Father Xue through the window, and then each of them lay down and closed their eyes to sleep.

Xue Yinsong got up early in the morning and went to the stove to help light the fire. Two guards took cloth towels and went to the backyard to wash. Seeing the animals raised in the backyard, they exclaimed, "There are so many? The harvest is good, right?"

Xue Yinsong shook his head: "It's just that the harvest is not good, so we raise more. The children and adults in the family consume a lot." Among them, the young guard asked, "Your family gave birth to four children?"

Xue Yinsong let out a chuckle: "Your family only gave birth to four children who don't look alike at all." The guard knew that he was reckless, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just saw that you don't look alike."

Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "My father is busy in the kitchen. The woman you met last night is my stepmother, and the young man you met during the day is the master of my family and the only one in the village. The little one is him. Brother's legacy, this kid is an orphan in the village, and was adopted by my master."

The two guards immediately stood in awe: "So it's Juren's home."

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "My family doesn't have so many rules, by the way, ask around, just tell me if it's convenient for you, what did you, Mr. Huang, go up to the mountain to sacrifice?"

The little guard said: "It's not a secret. It's a sacrifice to an ancestor. This ancestor has a deep friendship with my master's elders. The family will send people here every few years. This year happens to be my young master."

Xue Yinsong snorted, and hurriedly greeted the two of them: "The hot water is ready, come and wash your face quickly, if the two eldest brothers don't mind, there will be hot porridge and pickles soon."

The two guards were also cheerful, and agreed to wash up quickly.

Large-scale sacrificial offerings usually take a day. The family probably came from far away, and the sacrifice lasted for three days before the end. The Chenjia Village can be regarded as beautiful, so Mr. Huang temporarily decided to stay for a few more days and go hunting in the mountains.

Li Zheng must accompany him.

Mr. Huang only brought ten people up the mountain, and the guards all had fierce eyes, they looked like battle-tested warriors, I am afraid that after this time, the birds and beasts on the mountain would not come out for a while.

Xue Yinsong sighed, it seems that there is no need to think about this spring hunt, it is useless!

If you say that Mr. Huang is generous, he doesn’t want all the sacrificial items removed from the mountain, but the housekeeper is a smart person. He distributed all kinds of fruit cakes removed from the mountain to the whole village, and cut the whole pig, whole sheep, etc. The distribution was given to the family who lived in the guards, and everyone complained a little bit, but after the distribution, they were all very satisfied.

Xue Yinsong's family shared a whole leg of lamb, and brought it back to his father to make braised mutton for dinner.

People in the country usually eat pigs, and eat less other meat. The sheep was probably brought from the north, and it was fat and tender. The two children were pinching it hard.The guard didn't follow up the mountain, and said with a smile: "Eat slowly, wait for my king in a few days... the young master has gone down the mountain, and there are more good things. My master's good arrow skills are perfect."

Xue Yinsong asked casually: "Where do you come from?"

The little guard replied: "Come from the capital, our master will be a high-ranking official in the capital."

The older guard reprimanded: "You want to be scolded, don't you?" The younger guard replied with a smile: "I was originally a high official."

The older guard explained with a smile: "My master runs the house strictly, and we never show it when we go out."

Xue Yinsong smiled, and tentatively said in his heart: "Actually, if you don't tell me, I can guess that the people who came this time are neat and disciplined. They must be soldiers who have experienced many battles. Mr. Huang himself is quite capable. Deportment, must have the blood of the royal family, either the prince or the prince."

The two guards were stunned for a moment, and the little guard happily replied: "You have good eyesight, my prince is the famous nine in the capital..."

"Xingye!" shouted the older guard, Xingye shrank his head and said in a low voice, "I didn't say it first, he guessed it himself."

The old guard's veins were twitching violently, he wanted to give him a chestnut, then he turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Xue has good eyesight, so I said that this Chenjia Village has beautiful mountains and rivers, it really is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden."

Xue Yinsong made a haha, and quickly greeted the two of them: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

At night, Xue Yinsong hugged the scholar and gossiped on the bed: "Daughter-in-law, do you know that there is a Ninth Prince among the famous princes in the capital?"

Xiao Xiucai thought for a while and said: "The Ninth Prince does have one, but I haven't heard how powerful it is."

Xue Yinsong asked again: "Where is the surname Jiu? Or is it a homonym for Jiu?" The little scholar thought hard for a while and still shook his head: "I still haven't heard of it. When I was young, my father often told me about the affairs of the court. Anyone who is famous , I should have heard of it.”

"What about the ones who are good at fighting?"

Xiao Xiucai thought for a while and got a little impression: "I remember a very young general named Huang Zeren, who went to the battlefield at the age of 16. He has never lost a battle in five years, and he is only in his early twenties. His family is hereditary. Your lord, is the successor of the famous general Huang Tianhu."

Xue Yinsong thought it was right, and asked again: "Can it be related to Jiu?" The little scholar frowned and thought hard for a while, then said: "Yes, yes, Huang Zeren weighed nine catties when he was born, and his mother gave birth to three pounds." For three days and nights, his nickname is Nine Princes."

Xue Yinsong nodded and asked again: "Is there any old friend in his family? His ancestral home is in our Chenjia Village?"

The little scholar shook his head and said with a smile: "You think highly of me. When I was young, I just chatted casually with my father about officialdom, and only knew some superficial things. How can the story be spread out?"

Xue Yinsong was aroused by the hook-up, and felt itchy in his heart: "If you wait until tomorrow to have dinner to trap that kid, try to trap who they worship on the mountain."

"Why are you so interested in this?"

Xue Yinsong raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm curious, I've lived in the countryside for a long time, and I thought I'd almost forgotten what gossip is, but now I realize that it's not that I don't gossip, but that what happened in Chenjiacun is so boring that it's so boring. I'm not interested in gossip."

If you asked this directly, people would definitely not answer. Xue Yinsong stared at the two people basking in the sun in the yard and thought: We have to separate the two, and then talk to the little guard.

He didn't understand why he suddenly had a strong curiosity to gossip, but at this moment, he wanted to know who the sacrifice was like in his heart like a cat scratching.The old man wanted to ask him to go to the field to water the potion together, but he couldn't do it after calling twice, so he had to pick a bucket and go.

Xue Yinsong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Brother guards, you have traveled far and wide, have you ever seen wheat seedlings planted in spring?"

The older guard smiled and said, "How do you plant in spring? Before I became a soldier, my family also farmed, and I know a thing or two about farming."

Xue Yinsong said with a smile: "My family has planted spring wheat, and it will be harvested soon. Are you interested in going to see it?" The older guard was taken aback, and readily accepted, "Okay, Uncle Xue is going to the field, right? Let's go take a look with you."

Father Xue immediately said proudly: "No problem, you will know when you look at it, my spring wheat is full..."

The little guard also wanted to join in the fun, Xue Yinsong gave him a hand and whispered: "Come on, let me show you something good."

Xue Yinsong led him to the chicken coop, and took down the wooden box on the top of the chicken coop to show him: "Look, this is my family's secret recipe. Raise seedlings in wooden boxes, and plant them in the ground after they grow, which can save money." A lot of time."

The little guard looked at it with some interest, then stroked the wheat seedlings with his hand and said: "It's really good, I won't be a soldier in the future, and I will go home to plant wheat, so you plant two crops of wheat a year, right?"

Xue Yinsong nodded, and asked casually: "Is there any important person in our Chenjia Village? Why do you still run for hundreds of kilometers?"

The little guard said with a smile: "The person we pay homage to is not ordinary. The old man was defeated when he went north to fight against the Huns. He lost a whole [-] elite soldiers on the battlefield. He was so angry that he coughed and coughed up blood every day. How many imperial physicians were invited? The doctor couldn't cure it when he saw it. Later, a doctor who walked away came to see it. He only took a second look and said that there was a wonderful prescription. Then he gave this book and prescribed two medicines. He said he was cured of his illness, and then he studied the divine book hard and finally defeated the famous Hun King Gregor. I heard that before the children of the Huang family learned the divine book, they had to come to worship Mr. Langzhong to show their respect .”

Xue Yinsong was taken aback: "What's the name of that book?"

"Zhong Taigong Art of War."

Xue Yinsong vaguely caught something, but couldn't figure it out for a while, and stroked the rice seedlings silently.

The little guard smiled and asked again: "Do you have any tricks for these two crops of wheat?"

Xue Yinsong was a little dazed, and replied casually: "No, it's just raising seedlings in advance. Is Mr. Zhong famous?"

The little guard shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it anyway, not only me, but anyone in our camp has never heard of it."

Xue Yinsong rubbed his chin and thought for a while, but he didn't want to understand and didn't bother to pay attention, so he urged the little guard to talk about Mr. Huang.

Who would have thought that the little guard also looked blank: "I usually follow the old prince. This time the young prince came to Fuchun County. The old prince was worried, so he sent me and brother Qiu to follow."

Xue Yinsong was taken aback: "How are you and Brother Qiu's martial arts?"

The little guard immediately slapped his chest: "I don't have to say that, last time I set up a ring in the palace, brother Qiu was first, and I was second."

Xue Yinsong immediately asked suspiciously: "Why doesn't Mr. Huang, who is such an expert, come with you? Isn't it better to bring someone with higher martial arts when going hunting in the mountains?"

The little guard was taken aback by what he said, and replied blankly: "Maybe we are the master's people. Although we are said to be close servants, he never ordered Brother Qiu and me to do things. The daily food and drink along the way are his own relatives. Do it as you go."

Xue Yinsong rubbed his chin and asked: "Is the person who the little prince brought into the mountain this time his cronies?"

The little guard thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, they are all his cronies, and the ordinary sergeants didn't bring them... oh, no!" The little guard suddenly screamed and panicked: "I'm going to find the enemy Brother, no, the little prince wants to run away!"
