I am a ruler in troubled times

Song Jingjue subconsciously avoided Song Peiyu's disappointed gaze, looked down at his toes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Although he is not as quick-witted as Song Jingming and Song Peiyu, he is not really brainless, he is just used to not thinking about anything when he is with these two people.

However, the consequence of doing so was Song Peiyu's disappointed eyes, and Song Jingjue could not accept this consequence.

As soon as Song Peiyu finished speaking, regret arose from the bottom of his heart. Growing up together, he couldn't be more aware of Song Jingjue's sensitivity and inferiority under Shu Lang's appearance.

Song Peiyu felt sorry for this junior who was two years older than him

Song Jingjue, who was born with supernatural power and inherited the good manners of the Song family, was supposed to be the winner in life, but his elder brother, who was two years older than him, seemed to be a child prodigy reborn, and he was the eldest son and grandson, which naturally attracted the attention of all the elders.

Unexpectedly, Song Jingjue has an uncle who is two years younger than him. No matter how hard Song Peiyu tries to pretend to be a child, in the eyes of adults, he is still a young and old man. Besides, he is born weak, and other people's uncles let their nephews take care of him. Only his nephew takes care of him. uncle.

Song Jingjue was sandwiched between the real child prodigy Song Jingming and the fake child prodigy Song Peiyu, and he suffered countless grievances from childhood to adulthood.

Fortunately, Song Jingjue's negative emotions towards those close to him came and went quickly, and he never took grudges seriously.

Song Peiyu walked up to Song Jingjue, bent down to see Song Jingjue's expression, "Brother Jue? I'm sorry, I..."

"When Yinbao comes back, let him do a free clinic in the village." Song Jingjue didn't want to hear what Song Peiyu said. He always stubbornly believed that if he brought negative emotions to Song Jingming and Song Peiyu, there would be a gap between them.

Hearing this, he didn't even have time to sort out the thoughts that had just come to him, and he couldn't wait to say the idea that he just thought of, looking up at Song Peiyu like a big dog waiting for his master's praise.

Song Jingjue's willingness to think is what Song Peiyu is most willing to see.

Song Peiyu added a cup of hot tea to Song Jingjue, and waited for Song Jingjue to calm down before pointing out, "We have to find enough things for the villagers in Lihua Village so that they won't waste their time troublesome for us. Take control of this When you are at home, you are no worse than me at learning."

"But..." Song Jingjue blinked blankly. Isn't their purpose of coming to Lihua Village to integrate into Lihua Village?

After a full hour, Song Jingjue, who was standing there like a sculpture, let out a long sigh of relief. He stood up and put down his pen to watch him. Song Peiyu bowed to him, "My nephew understands, thank Uncle Seven for teaching me."

No matter in the Song family's ancestral house or in Lihua village, he is him, the second son of the Song family, and he will not become someone just because his environment changes.

There are countless ways for them to settle down in Lihua Village, and he undoubtedly chose the most stupid way, actually trying to resolve the conflict by pulling the Song family and the villagers of Lihua Village into the same position.

Fortunately, Uncle Qi reminded him in time, otherwise, if his thoughts were discovered by the female relatives, except for the two younger sisters who didn't know what happened, they might all chase him and beat him.

After a sudden enlightenment, Song Jingjue realized that since he came to Lihua Village, his emotions had been in a very depressed state, and even his behavior was very different from the past.

Regardless of whether Sister Yue's troubles were caused by Fourth Aunt not teaching well or teaching too well, grandmother punished Fourth Aunt, and Aunt Liu, who was implicated for no reason, was also appeased.

On the contrary, it was him who blamed his mother's anger on his improper handling of things, and he had no grace or air to speak of.

Perhaps it was because Song Jingjue had changed too much. When practicing martial arts in the afternoon, Jin Bao couldn't help but look at Song Jingjue more. The moment he was distracted, the wooden sword in his hand was split in half by Song Jingjue who was holding the same wooden sword.

Fortunately, Jin Bao has more experience, so he won't show timidity because of this. After bending down to avoid the chasing wooden sword, his speed of attack is more than twice as fast as before, and he snatched Song Jingjue's wooden sword in less than ten moves. , on Song Jingjue's shoulders.

Song Peiyu, who was sitting lazily hiding under the peach tree, applauded the two, "Good!".

Jin Bao took a sword flower and put the sword behind his back to plead guilty, but was supported by the panting Song Jingjue.

Song Jingjue waved his hand, unceremoniously put half of his body weight on Jin Bao, and his tone was unabashed yearning, "I have been holding a sword since I was five years old, and it has been nine years now. Quite, can you have your current skills?"

Jin Bao didn't hesitate at all, and blurted out, "Brother Jue is born with supernatural power and is so diligent. After reaching the crown, I am afraid that there will be few opponents. My subordinates can give you tricks for three years at most, and after two years, they will not be able to fight back."

"Really?" Song Jingjue still couldn't let go of the corner of Song Jingjue's mouth, even though he knew that Jinbao probably deliberately picked what he liked to hear.

Jin Bao also laughed. He had never seen anyone more talented in martial arts than Song Jingjue, and what he said just now was from the bottom of his heart, "I dare not lie to you."

Song Jingjue was overjoyed when he heard the words, and praised Jin Bao several times in a courteous manner. Song Jingjue also recognized Jin Bao's real skills from the bottom of his heart, and every word of praise could be to the point.

Song Peiyu, who had no talent in martial arts, felt drowsy, and could not help leaning against the peach tree trunk behind her and squinting her eyes to doze off.

I don't know how long it took, Song Peiyu suddenly felt that it was extremely noisy, and the originally peaceful brows raised waves of anxiety.

Jin Bao, who went to check the situation and came back to report, found out that Song Peiyu had fallen asleep here, and carefully patted Song Peiyu on the shoulder, "Qiye?"

Song Peiyu struggled to open one eyelid, and responded blankly, "Huh?"

Jinbao couldn't wait to say, "Yinbao is back, with a strong green ox and a cart full of things!"

Song Peiyu opened her eyes one after another and it took a long time before she recovered her spirits. After belatedly realizing what Jin Bao said, she said in a hoarse voice, "How is Yin Bao, is there any injury?"

"I'm not injured, but I've lost some weight. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back until some time later because the villagers are scrambling to see the cattle." Jin Bao was afraid that Song Peiyu would catch a cold, so he pulled Song Peiyu up first, and then went to the backyard to report to the female relatives.

Song Peiyu wasn't worried about what the villagers would do to Yinbao and Song Jingjue, but she was still sleepy, and her thoughts seemed to be separated by a layer of fog, so she went out to watch the excitement.

It was said that Yin Bao would come back after a while, but actually Song Peiyu could see the black and crowded back of her head when she went out.

He had never seen so many villagers from Lihua village get together before the sun went down.

Looking at the crowded situation over there, Song Peiyu suddenly lost the desire to join in the fun, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

The hundreds of acres of land left by the squires are all in the west of the village. It seems that when the villagers opened up wasteland, they deliberately chose a place not far from the water source.

Because the government's methods were too ruthless back then, the land opened up by the villagers was not next to the land left by the squires.

Song Peiyu looked around, and it was easy to recognize which lands belonged to the squires.

The land deed says 750 mu. Song Peiyu walked around the edge and drew the general outline of the land on the white cloth with charcoal sticks prepared in advance. I was not sure whether there would be green cattle. Song Peiyu There has never been a conclusion as to what to plant on these lands.

Now that Qingniu is back, it is natural that the sooner the spring plowing, the sooner the restlessness in the village can be calmed down.

That night, the Song family finally saw the long-lost Hun Xing. Although the taste was hard to describe because Lihua Village was too far away from the town, the Song family, who were used to being pampered, didn't say anything.

It's just that in the dead of night, there will be nausea one after another in the yard.

"Yang county has been occupied by the Yan army?" Song Jingjue clenched his hands, and kept his voice down even when he was emotional.

When they passed the county seat, it was clear that General Jianwei was in charge.

Yin Bao's voice was also kept very low, making sure that only Song Peiyu and Song Jingjue beside him could hear it.

It was already afternoon when Yinbao set off from the village, and planned to stay in the town that day, and return to Lihua Village after shopping early the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Fengzhen was surrounded by the Yan army that night, and the Yan army entered Fengzhen early the next morning. The entire Fengzhen was only allowed to enter but not to leave, so Yinbao could only live in the town with peace of mind.

Fortunately, Fengzhen is close to the edge of Youzhou, and its importance is not much better than Lihua Village. The Yan army only captured a few officials sent from Yang County, and they didn't bother to make a big move.

Yan Jun ate and drank in Fengzhen for ten days, and then returned to Yang County with those unlucky people who had been tortured enough.

Song Peiyu fiddled with the wooden beads on her wrist, lowered her eyes to look at the black shadow on the wall, "Is there any news from General Jianwei?"

Yin Bao smiled wryly and shook his head, "The subordinates are afraid of revealing their identities, so they dare not communicate with Yan Jun, so they bribed a few people in the yamen, but unfortunately those Yan Jun are the bottom ones, and there is nothing useful except swearing and stupid words .”

It is precisely because of these Yan troops that the pockets of the people in Fengzhen have suffered, and they almost cut off the budding purchase plan of Yinbao.

Even if those Yan troops left, the price of goods in the town would skyrocket, but the price of any living thing would be more than five or six times higher.

Thanks to Yinbao's dedication to taking care of the horse, he raised the horse to a certain extent, so he exchanged the green cattle from a rich man who was scared and was about to go to his relatives.

Yinbao tried every means to bring back the strong wine that Song Peiyu had specially given her.

In addition, the seeds for spring plowing took up the most space. According to Song Peiyu's account, Yinbao bought [-] catties of Shu ① and Millet ② seeds each.

The food that was originally planned was brought back not much, at most enough to feed the Song family for half a month.

Not to mention meat, Yinbao almost ran all over the town, but only bought a hind leg of a dead yellow cow and two baskets of eggs.

Poor Yinbao bought that green bull that looked like a treasure in the hands of the previous owner. When did he walk with such a heavy thing for a day and a night?When he arrived at Song's house, he lay down directly, and even Yin Bao soaked the beans to feed it, so he didn't bother to pay attention.

The dirty car frame almost fell apart on the road.

Song Peiyu asked Yinbao to go back to rest early, but he struggled with the white cloth depicting the terrain all night.
