Drunk Qingqiu

For some reason, Yinzhen and his party did not set off until noon the next day, and they were accompanied by an extra carriage.Different from Yinzhen's usual low-key demeanor, this carriage has a hint of luxury and looks extremely comfortable.

Yinzhen has changed into a snow-white outer dress with light-colored lines that outlines Jiangya and seawater, a silver jade belt with yellow edges on his waist, and a green pendant hanging from his waist.Casting a glance at Yinxiang who was still dressed as a servant, Yinzhen let go of Yinzhen's hand that had been supporting him, and got on the carriage.He has decided that he will not let himself suffer.

Tao Wu was dumbfounded, his face was like a spring flower, his eyes were like lacquer, what a delicate beauty.It is really reasonable for this man to depend on his clothes. After changing his clothes, even the hair of that young man was luxurious.However, Tao Wu also had to admit that even so, the young man in dark blue clothes next to the young master did not lose any momentum, and he was really a dragon and a phoenix among people.Compared with the arrogant Master Li who just left, he is like a nouveau riche, but here is the noble spirit from the bottom of his bones.

"Ninth brother, tenth brother always told me that he let you practice Buku together, and now I finally believe it." Yinxiang galloped over, shaking his head and chatting with his ninth brother at the window while gloating.

"That's, Master Ninth, the thirteenth master who may not have enough physical strength, and the younger me." Li Wei joined in the fun with a smile on his face.

Yinzhen who was walking in front seemed to remember something and smiled.

Yinzhen leaned on the thick cushion, opened the snack bag that Gao Wen handed over, and sneered, "Li Wei, don't rely on the fourth brother to spoil you, you don't even blink when you talk big, just you two, It's not enough for the Lord to fix you."

Li Wei retreated despondently, not because he dared not speak.A few days ago, he underestimated Yinzhen's fragile appearance, slapped his chest and accompanied Yinzhen to do a few moves, but in the end, he was knocked down by Yinzhen for a long time without two or three blows.Li Wei is also wronged. Although Yinzhen's martial arts are far inferior to those of his brothers, he has learned a lot of opportunistic moves.Two or three strokes are okay, but after a long time, the first one who can't support it must be Yinzhen.

The carriage was not going fast, but Yinzhen, the always strict master, did not urge him. If he didn't say it, others would not dare to say it.

After wandering around for an hour, the sun shone down warmly, and when Yinzhen almost fell asleep again.The convoy stopped.

"What's going on?" Yinzhen asked with half-opened eyes.

Gao Wu replied from the side: "It's Fourth Master, talking to a farmer."

Bored, Yinzhen leaned back again, he was very uncomfortable, or he was not used to it because he hadn't done it for too long.Last night, I don't know what he said that made Yinzhen angry. Although he didn't torture him hard, he definitely wouldn't let him go.He didn't even know how many times Yinzhen did it last night, he had passed out by that time.

The waiting time was too long, and after sitting in the carriage for half a day, it was very bumpy, so Yinzhen simply lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.

Seeing Yinzhen standing on the edge of a paddy field, there are an old man and a young man in the field, both barefoot, with several buckets and a bundle of sparse rice seedlings beside them.There are more oxen and plows in the fields.

Yinzhen was talking to the old man, Xu saw that these people were well-dressed, the old man was a bit cautious.

"Old man, I heard that there is a severe drought this year. Is the spring plowing going well today?" Yinzhen asked.

Hearing this, the old man felt a little uncomfortable. He pointed to the field and said, "That's right. You see, we have to plant big fields, and we have to go far away to fetch water. Even the lake where we carry water is running out. .But it’s useless to have more, not even enough seedlings.”

"I heard that Lord Long Live, benevolent, has allocated seeds for spring plowing to the disaster-stricken prefectures and counties a long time ago. Why are there not enough seedlings?" Yin Zhen asked after a moment of thought.

The old man sighed, and the young man who was planting rice seedlings couldn't help it anymore, and said, "You guys come from afar to say this kind of thing. Long live God is benevolent, but he is too far away from us. How can we ordinary people have the good fortune to be able to do this?" Long Live God’s protection? I’m afraid there is not even a shadow of the spring seeds that have been allocated. People like us are not bad. There are still some old seeds in the house, but most of them have nothing. The winter grain is not handed over. Just finished eating."

"Hey, I'm afraid there will be more people starving this year. We peasants, when the harvest is good, the harvest is only a dozen taels of silver. In such a bad year, people can't stand it, and there are people who sell their sons and daughters. Yes. Point at these officials to save people, in the next life."

"Desheng, shut up." The old man turned around and shouted at the man, fearing that disaster would come out of his mouth.

Neither of them noticed that Yinzhen clenched his fists tightly and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

"What is the old man's name?" Yinzhen asked.

"Hu, you can just call me Lao Hu."

Turning around and seeing the old man sweating profusely under the sun, the young man stopped complaining and said, "Father, I'll fetch some more water, I'm afraid it won't be enough, and there won't be much water left in the lake tomorrow."

The old man didn't dare to waste any more time, and was busy planting rice seedlings.

Seeing this, Xu Zhen said: "Old man, seeing that you are too busy, I will help you."

As he spoke, he took off his shoes and socks, covered a corner of his robe, and stepped into the field.

Not only the old man was shocked, but these attendants were also shocked.Lin Yu stopped the others, shook his head secretly, and asked everyone to stand by. Also, those who followed were all masters of martial arts, and few of them could do farm work.

The old man looked at Yinzhen's feet, and said hesitantly: "Master, I see that you are also a noble person, so I should do these rough jobs myself."

Yinzhen smiled: "Old man, you are afraid that I can't do it, don't worry, I have done this job before." He raised his head and rushed to the shore to recruit, "Xiao Shisan, Li Wei, you two get here and help me."

Although Li Wei was also a young master of a rich family before he was rescued by Yin Zhen, he had suffered a lot after all. Seeing Fourth Master doing this, he felt admiration as well as admiration, so he took off his shirt and rushed to the field.

Yinxiang was stunned for a moment, imitating Li Wei's appearance, and was happy to come down to help.

Seeing Yinzhen standing beside the field with great interest, Yinzhen frowned, and said to the long attendant: "Lin Yu, help Master Jiu to stay in the shade of a tree."

Gao Wen Gao Wu was also secretly surprised, this fourth master was really careful and took good care of ninth master.

Yin Xiang pouted, and said sadly: "Fourth brother, you are a typical example of favoring one over another, it's not fair." After speaking, he turned around, squinted at Yinzhen from an angle that Yinzhen couldn't see, and said cheerfully : "Ninth brother, you should try it too, it feels very comfortable to sweat all over, like me—"

"Ah!" A woman exclaimed from the side.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a woman in a pink sarong looking at Yinxiang and Li Wei with a flushed face.

The old man was also very embarrassed, and said to Yinxiang and the two: "This is the little girl Ruzhen, please put on the clothes." Yinxiang was dressed as a servant, and the old man spoke to him much more naturally than to Yinzhen.

Li Wei smiled cunningly, Yinxiang looked at Yinzhen squinting his fox eyes and made fun of him silently, picked up the outer clothes embarrassingly and put them on.

The old man's daughter, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, brought a basket over.

He said crisply: "Father, take a break, drink some water, and eat something." I dare say that the girl brought water.

The old man smiled honestly, pointed to Yinzhen and the other three, and said, "These...the nobles see that we are too busy, and are helping to plant rice seedlings, my daughter, bring more water."

"Father, there's enough water, and a few more will be enough." Although Ruzhen was dressed in commoner clothes, she looked [-]% new and the color was bright. She seemed to be a treasure in the family.He looks quite handsome, and has a lively temperament. At this time, he has already walked in front of Yinzhen and the others and gave him a blessing. As a thank you, he poured some bowls of water and passed them over.

While Yinxiang was hesitating, Yinzhen had already taken it and drank it, and so did Li Wei. The old man smiled and nodded.

When the young man who carried the water came back, he saw a few people helping his father with the farm work, and he was very grateful.After all, there were so many people, under the afternoon sun, after an hour, all the seedlings had been planted.

The hottest time was over, and in the evening, there was a small wind blowing, even so, Yinzhen, Yinxiang, Li Wei and others were also soaked through their clothes.The palms of Yinxiang and Yinzhen who were helping the plow had blisters.

The old man and the young man thanked each other, and Yinzhen helped the old man to the tree where Yinzhen was sitting.The old man and the young man saw the most beautifully dressed man in the group, his fingers were white and transparent, and the part of his neck that had been exposed for the first time was also like a jade carving. Bye bye, this man's appearance is really a sculpture of ice and snow. beauty.

The two of them unconsciously felt a low self-esteem, and they couldn't help lowering their heads again.But he saw that the young man ignored him, and continued to sit lazily on the bluestone under the tree, and the servants laid a cushion for him.Now seeing a few people coming over, I took a look at it, then turned my head to look at the plum tree in the distance.

Yinzhen glanced over there, but didn't blame him. He invited the old man and the young man to sit at the other end, and chatted about family affairs, nothing more than asking about their livelihood and harvest.

"Father, big brother, it's over so soon? I went back and told my mother, and my mother said that I must invite some kind masters to our house to rest." That Ruzhen girl came back again.

Ruzhen also saw Yinzhen sitting on the bluestone, glanced at the corner of her mouth, turned around and went towards Yinzhen.This girl really despises this dude.

The old man and the young people also warmly invited them and refused to let them go.Yinzhen looked at the sky, the sunset at night dyed the sky red, and the curling smoke rose from the houses among the willows.

"So, it's annoying."

Old man Hu and the young man plus Ruzhen led them back.Lin Yu deliberately turned around and looked at Yinzhen. According to his observations in the past few days, Yinzhen is different from the fourth master. Maybe it's because he is used to rich clothes and jade food, and he is very picky about food, clothing, housing and transportation. He is willing to go to that kind of place to make do with it One night?

At this meeting, Yinzhen agreed to the old man, but Yinzhen just stretched his waist, got up and got into the carriage, but he didn't say anything.Lin Yu was secretly amazed, but Gao Wen Gaowu knew that the most important thing Yinzhen lacked was money, and he knew how to enjoy it.But it's not that you can't bear hardships. Whether it was the last trip to the south of the Yangtze River or the northward trip to the Khalkha Grassland, no matter how hard and tiring it was, even when the strong bodyguards complained, this Ninth Master didn't complain about anything. One sentence.

After walking not far, we arrived at Old Man Hu's house, at the junction of Huai'an Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion, a Zhuangzi with hundreds of families.

When he arrived at the door, Old Man Hu looked at the carriage behind him, rubbed his hands together, and said, "The cottage with thatched eaves is small and messy, I hope the nobles will forgive me."

Yinzhen smiled gently and said a few polite words, the old man liked his humility, so he let him in without hesitation.

A woman was setting the table for dinner in the main room. When she saw these people, she knew that they were the nobles her daughter said, so she also came to see them.

Xu Zhen saw that there were two tables set up in the big room, some melons and fruits, several plates of vegetables, and rice were all prepared, so it could be seen that these people were prepared.

Yinzhen looked at the table, pulled Gao Wen over, and asked him to go outside to fix some food for those followers, these five big and three thick guys might not be enough.

In the end, only the three masters, Yinzhen, Yinzhen, and Yinxiang, came into the house to eat, plus Li Wei who helped out.

Looking back at Yinzhen who was still sleepy after driving the carriage for half a day, Yinzhen said: "Is there rice soup? My brother is not feeling well, the doctor said to eat more light food."

Ruzhen gave Yinzhen a white look, but said nothing, but the woman said, "Yes, I'll serve it right away." Yinzhen got up and followed to the kitchen, Yinxiang stared blankly for a while.

The woman searched the kitchen for a long time before she found a fine white porcelain bowl, Yinzhen said, "I can serve it myself, Madam is already tired of preparing meals for us."

As he said that, he took the bowl and rinsed it with boiling water two or three times before taking out the rice soup, which was slightly thick.

The simple bowl of white rice porridge was placed in front of Yinzhen, and Yinzhen brought it over, and ate the green vegetables with very little oil and water without changing his face.

During the meal, Yinzhen asked the young man of Hu Desheng casually, since the spring plowing seeds were not enough, does anyone know where it came from.Hu Desheng was angry, and said, "Since ancient times, officials and officials have interacted with each other. If you ask me this way, it is hard for me to say."

Yinzhen frowned: "This group of people, yin and yang, are really the emperor of the sky, lawless and far away,"

"It's more than lawlessness, what about the emperor's will, who dares to sue? It's not that there are no good officials, but the only one who can speak for the people has already been dismissed by them."

Yinzhen nodded to a person outside, who bowed slightly, turned and walked out.Yinzhen asked carefully for a long time, Yinxiang and Li Wei angrily scolded those corrupt officials, only Yinzhen's expression remained unchanged.Ruzhen, who silently looked at the few people, even concluded that this dude who didn't know the sufferings of the world was completely different from those few.

Yinzhen, who had been very quiet all this time, suddenly asked: "Then the harvest is not good this year, how can you make ends meet?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the old man Hu's family were full of worry. After a long time, Hu Desheng, the son of the old man Hu, said: "To tell you the truth, I have set up a private house with some of the family of Zhuangzi who still have some money. During the slack season, people from the village were recruited to make some porcelain, but due to poor craftsmanship, they barely made a loss.”

Yinzhen paused, put some vegetables in a bowl for Yinzhen, and Yinzhen picked up the celadon plate beside him, "Did you cook this yourself?"

"Exactly." Hu Desheng said.

"Take me to your folk cellar tomorrow."

Although extremely puzzled, Hu Desheng agreed.

On the second day, Yinzhen was not afraid of the mess, so she walked around the cellar and asked Guan Lin, "What do you think of these porcelains?"

Guan Lin himself didn't know why Lord Jiu brought him to Jiangnan. Although he knew some martial arts, it was incomparable to Gao Wen Gao Wu.Seeing Yinzhen asking him at this time, he hurriedly replied: "Master Jiu, compared to official kilns and some folk kilns, it's a little worse."

Yinzhen nodded, "It's really not as good as it is, but their tools are too crude, and there are no good masters for firing porcelain. But although the color of this Yuan blue and white is not good, the embryo making and glazing are not bad. From the past, it can be seen that they are proficient. If you hire another experienced person to sit in the town, you will not have to worry about not producing high-quality porcelain."

Guan Lin also had to admit that Yinzhen's words were reasonable, and Yinzhen turned to Hu Desheng and said, "From now on, I will take all the porcelain from your folk kiln."

Hu Desheng was stunned as if he didn't understand, and opened his eyes wide: "Huh?"

"Of course, I will invite another experienced master to guide you. I also pay this master's wages, and all the porcelain is mine. What do you think?" Yinzhen asked again in a good-tempered manner.

A person beside Hu Desheng was so excited that he didn't know what to do: "This, this young master, do you really want our porcelain?"

"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded, anyway, he sold it to Eros, Mongolia, even this kind of porcelain can be sold at a high price.What is beneficial to both parties, why not do it.

Hu Desheng understood what Yinzhen meant, and rushed over to hold Yinzhen's hand: "Okay, okay! You can do as much as you want, but our porcelain craftsmanship can't keep up with others, I'm afraid—"

"If you agree, those are not things you have to worry about. As long as you learn from the master, I believe you can produce high-quality porcelain here. The price is based on the price of other folk cellars."

After Yinzhen finished speaking, he turned around and pointed at Guan Lin, "Did you see him? I will let him come over and buy all your porcelain in the future. Guan Lin, you stay here first, and chase us after you make arrangements."

"Young master, although I don't want to thank you for your great kindness, I will first thank you for the people in our village." Hu Desheng, the young man's eyes were slightly red, his craftsmanship was not good enough, and some people deliberately suppressed him. When I received it, the price was only half of that in other people's cellars.

If Yinzhen really keeps his word, even if their harvest is not good this year, food and clothing will not be a problem.

Yinzhen didn't say anything else, and took the bank note from his pocket and handed it to Hu Desheng, "You take the 500 taels and buy some good materials. If it's not enough, tell Guan Lin."

Hu Desheng has never seen so much silver in his hands. The people in this village live well with 20 taels a year.

Seeing him, Yinzhen felt excited again, and said, "You don't have to thank me, after all, I received your goods, and it's for my own sake."

Ruzhen stared at this change in a daze, and this unreasonable dude who didn't care about the suffering of the people was the first one to help them.

Yinzhen looked at Yinzhen, smiled and said nothing, this is the cuteness of Yinzhen, pretending not to care, but always doing his best.The old man Hu's family should be lucky to have met such three people.One saves the people in the south of the Yangtze River from water and fire, one saves them from worrying about their livelihoods, and the other really keeps the people who live and work in peace and contentment in this Zhuangzi after many years.

On the second day, he came out from Old Man Hu's house.Li Wei asked in bewilderment, "Master Jiu, you are so rich, why didn't you help the villagers here, but took the opportunity to start a business and make money?"

Yin Xiang rolled his eyes at him: "What do you know, brother Jiu is teaching people how to fish, which is much better than teaching people how to fish."

Li Wei touched his head, half understanding.

In the south of the Yangtze River in May, the willows are soft, the spring breeze is blowing, and the pink crabapple flowers are falling from the trees, fascinating the eyes of passers-by.
