Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang didn't stay long in the provincial capital, and rushed home on the third day after the exam, because Mrs. Qi's delivery date was coming soon, and the level of medical care in ancient times was poor, and giving birth to a woman was like hell for a woman. Although she couldn't help herself, but At least it can make her feel more at ease.Ting Shuang wrote a shopping list and handed it to Ting Hui, asking him to buy the wedding supplies carefully. Ting Hui has always been good at food, clothing and enjoyment, so he naturally accepted the task happily, and then took Tingzhi and Qinshu to the street every day to buy things.

Ting Shuang and Baoqi hurried back home. A few months ago, the steady wife and the experienced Yuesao were already ready to be called. Mrs. Qi tossed all day and night, and finally gave birth to a healthy boy. Looking at the wet baby Life, the new mother showed a tired and happy smile.

Ting Shuang carefully held the soft baby, unable to close her mouth happily.Baoqi watched from the side, feeling a little inexplicably lost: "Do you like children?"

Ting Ke on the side interjected: "Of course, the eldest brother likes children very much. When the family was so difficult, he would buy candy for the children in the village from time to time."

Baoqi's face became even more melancholy: "Then you also very much hope to have your own child?"

Ting Shuang pinched the baby's little ears and said, "It doesn't matter. You see, I'm already the godfather of a bunch of children before I get married. I like my own children."

Baoqi listened, her brows stretched out, and she stretched out her hand to tease the baby.

Ting Shuang patted him away: "Wash your hands first when you touch the child."

As a matter of course, Ting Shuang became the newborn baby's godfather, and gave him the nickname Xiaolei, which means down-to-earth, solid and strong.

A few days later, Ting Zhi and Ting Hui came back from the provincial capital.Qin Shu stayed in the provincial capital because he had to wait for the announcement and pay homage to his teacher in the same year.A few days later, the list was released, Qinshu High School No. 1 Xie Yuan, Tingzhi naturally lost his name to Sun Shan, hearing the news of Qinshu High School, Tingzhi was happy for him and a little sad and self-pitying.

When Baoqi heard the news from Qinshu High School, she sighed: "I bet, Mr. Shen is riding a horse across the green bridge now, the building is full of red sleeves, and the matchmaker broke the door of his house."

Ting Shuang interjected: "Who will bet with you? Isn't this obvious? He is young and handsome, has a good family background, and is a senior in high school. He may be the champion in the spring and imperial examinations next year. Which girl doesn't want to marry him. "

Looking back, I saw that Tingzhi was lonely, huddled in a corner, very desolate and lonely, and Tingshuang also understood him. One of the classmates who studied together had a bright future and a bright future, and the other was sad and unhappy. The contrast was too great, and he was really disappointed.Ting Ke's marriage is also counting down, Ting Shuang makes Ting Zhi busy, leaving him no time to regret.

Although Ting Ke was a door-to-door son-in-law, Ting Shuang was afraid that he would be looked down upon, and tried to weaken this perception. He made all the high-end furniture for the stage, and also covered all the clothes for the couple. The Shijia held at the same time, and paid all the money for Tingke's makeup shop.

In addition to receiving the news of the release of the list, Bao Qi also received the latest copy.

"Ah, come and see, the emperor has decreed to withdraw the domain."

Ting Shuang grabbed the mansion and copied it for research. The decree is a public document, and there are high-sounding clichés on it. A few of them came to the capital to live up their lives and serve as advisers to the Politburo. The salary is high, and the historical achievements are also great, blah blah blah.

Ting Shuang looked at it again and again, but it was nothing more than the central government's decision to take back local rights. This is a measure that will help stabilize and unify the country. There is nothing wrong with it, but the reaction of the vassal king is tasteful.

The general idea is that the emperor's opinion is correct, great, and wise. I firmly support the central government's policies. However, it is difficult to arrange the veterans after the withdrawal, so I have to hand them over slowly to avoid accidents.

Ting Shuang looked at Di's copy and picked out the words carefully, but he didn't find any demon moths, which fully demonstrated the lofty consciousness and lofty outlook of the vassal kings.However, it is precisely because there is no problem with this replay that it appears to be problematic.

Together with Baoqi and Tingzhi, who have always been concerned about current affairs and politics, and Chenguang.Chen Guang said: "That's all right now. The people in the imperial court are always worried that the withdrawal of the feudal clan will cause the feudal lord to fight back and cause chaos in the country. Now that the feudal clan can be withdrawn peacefully, the entire court will be at peace, and the common people will live a better life in the future."

Saying that, Ting Shuang gave Ting Shuang a look, you kid is always afraid that there will be wars, open a pharmacy, open a food store, for fear that you won't be able to eat, don't you worry too much?A farmer just farms your land honestly, do you understand state affairs?

Ting Shuang didn't think so, looked at Baoqi, and said, "What do you think is the problem here?"

"What do you think?" Baoqi asked back, "Aren't the vassal kings honestly preparing to hand over power? The most powerful King Wu has asked to withdraw the vassal."

"Cut," Ting Shuang disagreed, "Who knows if he is testing the attitude of the imperial court? During the period of peace in the world, it was the Kong family who was closest to the imperial court who first proposed to withdraw the feudal clan, and King Wu had to follow the petition to withdraw the feudal clan. What kind of?"

"That's right." Ting Zhi also said, "Wu Wang has fought many battles for a long time. He has been in Yunnan for many years. Bandits are still rampant in the territory, and Tianli Sect is becoming more and more active. If he can't even deal with a bandit, I don't believe it. .”

Ting Shuang and Bao Qi looked at each other and smiled. Even Ting Zhi could see that the King of Wu embraced the bandits and seized the military power. It can be seen that this guy's ambition, now he will obediently hand over power with a decree, which is incredible. He behaved like this The appearance of fully supporting the imperial court shows that he has malicious intentions. Maybe he is sharpening his knife in private. The smiling tiger is more terrifying than ordinary tigers.

Ting Shuang didn't know what to do, so she went to the historian's house to discuss the marriage. According to the marriage, there are six rituals, which are accepting, asking for name, accepting, accepting, asking for a date, etc., which is very cumbersome.What Ting Shuang meant was to hurry up, simplify the procedures, and get married as soon as possible.

Shi Jie was very puzzled when he knew what he was thinking. Now the world is peaceful and the people are happy. It doesn't look like there is a hidden war, but Ting Shuang means to do things quickly, and he agrees. He is also anxious to have a grandson.

The two families hurry up, it happens to be the slack season in winter, and there are plenty of manpower, and everything is ready for the wedding, just waiting for the work.

Soon the day came, and according to the rules, the night before the wedding, the groom's family would invite an old man with both children to make a wedding bed, and also invite a boy to press the bed.The person who presses the bed is not random, first of all, they must be younger than the groom, usually the groom's relatives, cousins, or something, if not, find a good classmate or friend.The second is that the boy who presses the bed must be unmarried. He is a young man full of youthful vigor, which symbolizes purity and masculinity. It is also very honorable to be selected as a bed presser.

The person who pressed the bed in the groom's house was naturally Tingzhi. It is said that the wedding bed has spiritual energy that can cure all diseases, and Tingzhi rolled happily on it.

The customs of Changping County are not very strict on the selection of boys who press the bed. As long as they are unmarried boys who are younger than the groom, not limited to the younger generation, they can press the bed. So the boys in the village who have good friends with the Meng family come to press the bed. Hurry up and turn the bridal chamber upside down, which is equivalent to making trouble in the bridal chamber.

When the bridal chamber is in trouble, the wedding bed is spread. This work is usually performed by the bridegroom's sister-in-law. The sister-in-law holds a red lacquer plate with red dates, peanuts, chestnuts and longan on it, which means early birth of a precious son. There are also newly minted copper coins, wedding cakes and wedding candies. offspring fruit and the like.

After paying homage to the parents of heaven and earth, the bride sat on the bed, and the sister-in-law sprinkled dried fruits on the bed, and sang while she sprinkled them. The people in the bridal chamber followed suit, and the laughter continued throughout the night.

Ting Ke was the first of several brothers in the Meng family to get married. Naturally, he did not have a sister-in-law. Mrs. Qi, who was married and had a son, took on this task.It was the first time for her to undertake such an important task, and she felt very proud, and tried her best to enliven the atmosphere in the bridal chamber.

Holding a plate full of dried fruits and sprinkled them on the wedding bed, she sang: "One is sprinkled with gold, the second is sprinkled with silver, the third is sprinkled with glory and wealth, and the fourth is sprinkled with gold and jade to fill the house.

Wusa auspicious star comes to shine, Liusa and his wife respect their parents.

Seven sprinkles of five grains will make the scenery abundant, and eight sprinkles with quilts will match mandarin ducks.

Nine spreads of happiness and longevity, and ten spreads of prosperity and well-being. "

After spreading the tent, those who make trouble in the bridal chamber will withdraw, set off firecrackers and blow horns to celebrate.But the bad boys who press the bed deliberately prolong the time of pressing the bed, inserting themselves in the middle of the bride and groom and making a fuss, not letting them sleep.

Ting Shuang was not in the mood to make a fuss, greeted the guests in front, was poured some wine, a little dizzy, took the time to go outside the house to blow some air, but saw a person coming from afar, snowflakes were falling in the sky, the ground was muddy and difficult to walk, that person was struggling Walking in the snow, I was panting from exhaustion.Ting Shuang rubbed her eyes and found that the man was Shen Qinshu.

Ting Shuang hurried over to meet him: "Why is Mr. Shen here? It's such a bad weather and the road is difficult to walk, why don't you take a sedan chair?"

The person who won the exam was regarded as an official and had the right to sit in a sedan chair, but he didn't sit in it. He walked in the wind and snow, his nose was red from the cold, his feet to his knees were covered with mud, and he was in an indescribable embarrassment.Hearing Ting Shuang's question, Qin Shu smiled embarrassedly: "I'll come to see Zhizhi, what kind of sedan chair should I take?"

Ting Shuang suddenly understood that one high school enjoys all the glory, and the other goes home disappointed after failing the exam. He did this because he didn't want to show off in front of Ting Zhi, so as not to make him sad.

"You are not in good health, why..." Ting Shuang was so moved that she couldn't continue, anyone would be moved by such care and affection.

When Tingzhi heard that Qinshu came to see him, she happily greeted him, held his cold hands in her own and rubbed them, and brought hot water to soak his feet.Qin Shu warmed up and looked at Tingzhi busy with a smile, with endless tenderness in his eyes.

Bao Qi watched silently from the side, and asked Qin Shu: "Did you come here just to see Zhizhi in such a cold day?"

Qin Shu put away his smile and lowered his head, with a faint sadness all over his body.

Ting Shuang sensed something was wrong and asked him, "What happened?"

Qin Shu looked sad and did not speak.

"Just tell me if you have any difficulties, so many brothers here will definitely help you." Ting Shuang's sense of justice surged, thinking that Shen's family is a famous family, and Shen Zaisi is favored by the emperor in the court, so there shouldn't be much trouble. If there is trouble, it is a conflict within the family.

It really made him guess right. The troubles that Qinshu encountered were family affairs. After high school, many well-known families took a fancy to this high-quality potential stock and tried their best to marry their daughters. Shen Zaisi fell in love with Ruan Ying's young daughter. He is sixteen years old, about the same age as Qin Shu.

Ting Shuang felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. She just felt that something strange and unexpected was about to happen, and said, "It's time for you to get married too. This is a good thing."

Qin Shu gave him a melancholy look, then lowered his head again.Bao Qi patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Qinshu, just say what's on your mind, and don't regret it for the rest of your life."

Encouraged, Qin Shu raised his head, looked at the circle of people who were looking at him with concern, summoned up his courage, and said, "I don't want to get married, because...if I do, I won't be able to be with Zhi Zhi, I want to be with Zhizhi, forever."

The words are very simple and plain, without any adjectives, directly expressing the central idea, like a nine-day thunder, which shocked Ting Shuang to blink her eyes, and she can't recall it anymore.

Ting Zhi was moved to tears, held his hand tightly and buried her head on his knee.

"You...you...what did you say?" Ting Shuang still didn't react, Bao Qi dragged him outside, the cold wind blew over, Ting Shuang became more awake, and finally understood.In the previous life, he had read countless Leiwen, and there was no such incident that made his skin burnt.

"Hey, what do you think?" Bao Qi poked him.

Ting Shuang was still too shocked to speak, her head was in a mess.

"Qinshu and Zhizhi like each other and are willing to be together forever. What do you think? Do you agree?" Baoqi worried and looked forward to it, "If you object, Zhizhi won't fight against you, but he will be very sad. I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I will never be emotional for other people in the future."

Ting Shuang was silent.

Baoqi was also silent for a while, hesitant to speak, and finally got up the courage to say: "Generally speaking, men and women love each other, but men also have the desire to hold hands and grow old together. Are you willing to accept the love of men?" ? Do you have the heart to watch a pair of lovers regret for life?"

Ting Shuang was still silent, Bao Qi observed his expression, and as he remained silent, his heart became colder and colder, as if sinking into a bottomless abyss, suffocating to the point where it was difficult to breathe.
