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

Xue Yinsong waved his hand and said: "I just said, you should think about it for yourself, it's about your future, it's better to plan thoroughly." Then he stood up and caught a few foxes and put them in cages, looked at the sky and said: "I have to go to the field to do some work. If you're bored, talk to Xiucai."

His family's wheat harvest and deep plowing have been completed, Xue Yinsong is also a dark-hearted man, there is still a month before the grain of mangoes, and he sowed some rapeseeds in the field to grow some vegetables.

One month is not long enough, and the vegetable seedlings can only grow about an inch high, but the tender vegetables can be sold at a higher price. Anyway, they are some rapeseeds left over from last year, which can be regarded as experimental experiments.

It just so happened that Father Xue came back after sowing rapeseed, and when he saw Xue Yinsong, he yelled: "Did you drink? It's been another ten days, and I've finished sowing half of the sack of rapeseed today, a whole two acres of land .”

Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "Okay, isn't it just a pot? When I see Xiao Qi in a while, I will let him go to the shop to buy wine. I don't know where the two boys have gone this day."

Only then did Father Xue smack his lips and said, "I coaxed the one who ran into the field early in the morning to go away."

Xue Yinsong smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll go get some wine."

It was Xue Yinsong's intention that Zha Jin would eat dinner with them, after all Zha Jin came to Chenjia Village as his cousin, so he should try his best to avoid mixing with the little prince.

Zhajin also likes to drink, and he drank a few sips with Father Xue, his face remained unchanged. The father was happy to see it: "I will brew some burning knives for you to drink some other day. The original juice wine has not been blended. Keep it if you like it."

Zha Jin laughed and said: "My drinker is good, try burning a knife to see if I can get drunk."

Several people ate, drank, talked and laughed, and dispersed after eating.

Xue Yinsong wanted to weave some more bamboo baskets, so he went to fetch some bamboo slices that had been sun-dried earlier and sat on the ground to cut strips.

The little scholar was tired after copying the deed for a whole day. He sat by the bed and washed his feet. He yawned and asked, "Why did you make this up?"

"There are few baskets at home, so I just made two. I want to get some trawl nets these days."

"Then how long did you sleep?" Little Xiucai yawned again and asked sleepily.

Xue Yinsong buried his head and replied: "You go to bed first, I'll come here when I'm done." Xiao Xiucai threw away the foot cloth and hugged the pillow: "I'm just a little tired, but I don't feel sleepy, just my eyes are tired. "

Xue Yinsong smiled, and brought the oil lamp closer to the bamboo in his hand: "After washing, lie down, I'll pour the water later."

The little scholar thought for a while and asked, "Then Zhajin will live in our house from now on?"

"Well," Xue Yinsong replied casually, "I don't think we can live for a long time, and I will probably go to northern Xinjiang with the young prince in the future."

The little scholar snorted: "Throughout the ages, if you want to resist the decree, you have to look at who the emperor is. Although there is no historical record of the consequences of resisting the decree, you can figure it out with your toes. Can the emperor just lose face at will? If you dare not show face to the emperor in person, you will definitely suffer behind your back."

Xue Yinsong was a little surprised: "Oh, not bad, now the thinking is leaping, and under my cultivation in the future, it will definitely be promising."

"..." Xiaoxiu was angry: "I'm so useless!"

"In the past, you would have said: As a wise ruler, you should have a mind that embraces all rivers and rivers. If your subjects violate it, you should first observe your own behavior."

"..." Xiao Xiucai was stunned, it really looked like his style, and he couldn't help curling his lips: "In the first place, the king of a country should have inner magnanimity."

Xue Yinsong smiled and said: "Now you finally look at the emperor from the perspective of a mortal. The emperor is not a saint. He also has emotions and desires and will be angry and furious. Let's leave the little prince alone. Anyway, I have nothing to do."

The little scholar rolled around on the bed before saying: "So it's better to be a commoner, no one cares."

It was past the second watch at this time, Xue Yinsong flicked the wick, and was about to close the bamboo basket, when suddenly the yellow dog in the backyard barked a few times.

Xue Yinsong quickly jumped up, went to the door and grabbed the stick: "Lie down, I'll go to the backyard to see, the dog is barking."

As he said that, he walked out of the door and quietly touched the corner of the backyard, only to see the yellow dog standing in the middle of the backyard, whining lowly towards the outside of the wall.

Xue Yinsong hid in the dark and didn't move. After a while, the black shadow on the wall threw something in, rolled twice on the ground and landed in front of the yellow dog's feet.

The yellow dog lowered his head and smelled it. It seemed to be very fragrant. He turned around anxiously and dared not eat it.

Xue Yinsong used to train dogs specially. Anyone who ate the food given by others would be beaten. The yellow dog turned around twice in a hurry and finally gave up.

The black shadow was stunned, and lost another piece. The yellow dog didn't look at it this time, and went straight to the middle of the yard.

This dog is kept on a leash all year round. It doesn't like to bark but bites hard.The black shadow hesitated for a while, Xue Yinsong quietly retreated to the front yard and opened the door, and rushed towards the back yard wall.

Thinking that the black shadow probably failed and had already left, Xue Yinsong did not give up, and searched around the two forked roads but failed, so he had to take the wooden stick and go home.

Now that his family has a dog, the poisoner may never come again. Although it is a good thing, I feel a little regretful, but it is a pity that I can't catch the thief with my own hands.

Seeing him enter the door, the little scholar asked, "What did you do?"

"It's nothing, go to sleep, I don't want to make up any more." Saying that, Xue Yinsong washed his hands in the basin in the corner and went to bed.

The weather is already warm, but there is no thinner quilt at home, it is a bit hot, Xiao Xiucai lifted the quilt to reveal two arms and said: "It's so hot."

Xue Yinsong thought of the air-conditioning quilt and said: "This time, after selling the food, I went to buy a few thin quilts to cover. These are winter quilts, and they are too thick."

"But it's cold in winter," the little scholar said critically, "this Chenjia Village is not good, there is no kang."

Xue Yinsong laughed: "Young master, do you know that the kang needs to be burned with charcoal, how much charcoal does this kang need to burn in winter? Even the richest man in Chenjiacun can't afford the kang."

The little scholar thought about it and sighed: "Can't you burn firewood? Isn't there so much firewood on this mountain?"

Xue Yinsong said: "If the firewood kang is not well-fired, it is easy to suffocate people. It is safer to burn charcoal, but the charcoal is expensive. It is a luxury to order a charcoal pot like ours in winter. Have you ever seen a poor family's winter? It’s a family sharing a bed.”

Xiao Xiucai remembered that in order to save charcoal fire, four of them slept in one room: "In fact, it's good for a family to sleep together, isn't it lively?"

The two people behind were also confused, and fell asleep after talking a few words.

Xue Yinsong got up early in the morning and hadn't had a mouthful of hot porridge yet. The housekeeper of the palace came, holding a thin piece of paper in his hand with a blank expression: "This is the contract. The second room on the left in Changqiao Lane was originally a pawn shop. The master said the land deed Here you are, with your name written on it."

Xue Yinsong quickly picked it up, and was very satisfied after carefully reading it twice: "Thank you, butler." The butler still had no expression on his face: "You don't need to thank me, you can thank the prince if you want to, the villain is just following the instructions of the prince."

Xue Yinsong was too lazy to care about this idleness, he put away the land deed and said politely: "Please tell the housekeeper to report to the lord, and say that the land deed has been received, and it will open in five days, and then please go and have a look with the lord."

Five days is probably enough, Xue Yinsong thought to himself, there is no need to change the layout, just order a few large cabinets for storing grain and wheat, and then paint the walls.

"Brother Xue," Hu Yazi poked his head in the front yard, saw him and said with a quick smile, "This is my mother's steamed spring pancake, please try it."

"Is your mother better?"

"Well, it's much better," Hu Yazi smiled, showing a pair of front teeth: "The doctor in this city is very skilled in medicine. The doctor said that my mother is not seriously ill. He said that there are some bugs in the viscera. She has been eating for ten days. The medicine will be fine."

Xue Yinsong thought for a while and said, "Does your mother like to eat snails? It's better to eat less of this food, even if you want to eat it, you should cook more."

Hu Yazi nodded hurriedly, Xue Yinsong thought about it and asked again: "I rarely see cats here in Chenjia Village, can you help me find some cats that catch mice?"

Hu Yazi smiled and said: "It's easy, does the Bell family in the north of the village know? That girl loves to keep cats, and there is an old cat at home, with black, white and gray stripes all over her body like a tiger, and she is the best at catching mice."

Xue Yinsong recalled that the bell was originally proposed to Xiucai, and suddenly his face became constipated: "Is there no other cat?"

Hu Yazi thought for a while and said: "There are, but it's her cat that is so powerful. Her old cat has become a spirit, and even dogs have to avoid it, especially rats. How about it? How about I help you again?" Ask about it."

Xue Yinsong hurriedly thanked him, only to hear Hu Yazi say: "Brother Xue, my mother's illness is much better, can I pay you back the money I chop firewood? From now on, I will chop firewood for your family, and each bundle will be worth 10 Wen."

Xue Yinsong thought about it and said, "Well, my firewood is not very good, one bundle for two days is enough, and you should do what you can, don't try your best."

When Hu Yazi saw that he agreed, he was very happy and ran away with a smile.

Just when the scholar got up, he saw the spring cakes on the stone table in the backyard and said with a smile: "This is a good craftsmanship. You can see that the cakes are thin and fried until they are golden and shiny. It's really good craftsmanship." Ask him: "Is there something to pay attention to?"

The little scholar said with a smile: "Of course there is attention to it. You can open a shop with this craft. You will know it after eating. There used to be a cake maker in Qinchuan City. It was even better than this. People who lined up could line up from morning to night. "

Xue Yinsong's eyes lit up: "Good idea, why didn't I think of it."

The little scholar was taken aback: "What's the matter?"

"Open a shop, open a restaurant, open a snack shop or something, gather everyone's specialties, and we will definitely be able to open a shop in the county."

The little scholar sneered and said, "I might not be willing."

Xue Yinsong said: "That's not necessarily true. For example, if I make piles for wages, I will sell spring pancakes this month and invite his mother Hu Yazi to be the cook. Next month I will sell pan-fried buns and invite you to be the cook. Is this a fresh change? .”

The little scholar thought for a while, but couldn't imagine what it would be like, so he went to wash and eat cakes.

While the two were talking, Father Xue came out from the outside and said with a happy smile, "The tenant came here just now. I went to take a look. The wheat in the field has already been starched. It seems that the end of the month will be a bumper harvest."

Xue Yinsong thought for a while and asked, "How are their rice seedlings growing? Can the awn seeds be planted?"

Father Xue nodded: "Should be able to, I think they are all pretty good, and some of them are almost an inch high." Xue Yinsong nodded: "If this matter is troublesome, then you don't worry about it, Hu Yazi will bring firewood, and the grass will send it to you." Some people also give it to me, and I may have to live in the county seat for the next few days and not come back, so I need to clean up the shop.”

Father Xue asked with concern: "Do you want me to help? There must be someone to keep watch for you, right?"

Xue Yinsong shook his head and said: "I can come here alone, besides, the young prince also has someone, if not, I can borrow someone from him."

Father Xue nodded: "If you want me to help, just say, a family should be more intimate and responsible."
