Self-cultivation of male support

From this day on, the two of them were extremely obedient, and Shi Yan finally lived a good life of lying down and eating.

On this day, Shi Yan got up early in the morning, washed up, ate breakfast made by a Taoist priest, wiped it off, changed into clean and tidy new clothes, and gave the two of them a few copper coins before leaving the house, and said: "This morning, I will take the last piece together." At noon, I exchange some vegetables with the people in the village, so I don’t need to save my lunch.”

Walking in the bustling streets of Fucheng, Xiao Jia asked curiously: "Team leader, aren't you afraid that these two people will run away while you're not around?"

Shi Yan: "Just run away, I haven't lost anything anyway."

As for that rat, who dared to run away, Shi Yan still respected him as a man, but unfortunately Shi Yan felt that he was about to be disappointed.

When I came to Fucheng this time, I sent a letter to Zhou Lide, telling him my current address, so as not to worry about my only friend.The second is to buy some food and vegetable seeds, and the land will be opened up, and it will not be decent if you don’t grow anything.

By the way, I found a carpenter with a good job in the city, and ordered two sets of tables, chairs and benches, a desk and a dining table, and always let those two idiots squat on the ground to eat, Shi Yan himself felt hot eyes .

At noon, I found a restaurant with a lot of customers and went in. Yan planned to settle in there during today's lunch.

Never expected to meet acquaintances here.

Zhou Yuhui was very surprised when she saw Shi Yan: "Brother Li, why are you here?"

Zhou Yuhui is Zhou Lide's daughter, the girl who was promised to be Shi Yan's continuation, she is warm, cheerful and generous, her personality is just like his father's.

Shi Yan really loves this girl as a younger sister, but for Zhou Yuhui's reputation, he usually doesn't associate with Zhou Yuhui.

When Shi Yan heard this, she smiled slightly: "Miss Zhou, I didn't expect to see you here. In order to prepare for the rural examination next year, I moved out of my home and rented a yard in Taohua Village outside Fucheng, where I can study with peace of mind."

Zhou Yuhui was very enthusiastic: "Brother Li, it just so happens that we ordered a bit too much food, you can eat with us, and tell me about my family by the way!"

Look, it's so caring, knowing that Shi Yan is shy, saving Shi Yan money and still saying it's so beautiful.

Shi Yan didn't refuse either, sitting at the same table with Zhou Yuhui, and with Zhou Yuhui was Zhou Yuhui's husband-in-law Wang Qihong. They had met several times, but they were not close.

Now the other party looked at Shi Yan with a hint of hostility, Shi Yan thought in his heart that this stunned young man would treat me as a rival in love?I don't know about this sour vinegar

How many years to eat!

Zhou Yuhui poured a cup of tea for Shi Yan: "Brother Li, did you go to my house before you came to Fucheng? Are my parents okay? Every time I write to them, both of them will report good news but not bad news. I’m always clueless.”

Shi Yan took the teacup and took a sip, the tea was surprisingly good: "Well, I see that your father and mother are ruddy, full of energy and blood, and are living a very healthy life.

Last month, the two went on a picnic in the countryside together, enviing others.

Last month, the peony planted by your mother finally bloomed. She was very happy and invited many acquaintances to her home to enjoy the flowers. "

Zhou Yuhui was pleasantly surprised: "Aniang's peony has been planted for more than three years, and every spring it only germinates but does not bloom. This year it finally blooms. I must be very happy to think about it."

Zhou Yuhui's husband finally couldn't bear to see the two chatting so happily, and interrupted: "Mr. Li, I don't know what you are going to the city today. I am familiar with Fucheng, and maybe I can help you, Qian Don't be polite to us husband and wife."

The words "Hui and I" and "husband and wife" are particularly important.

Shi Yan was amused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said to Wang Qihong in surprise: "Hey, you said I am so brainy, how can I forget to ask you for help? Didn't I rent a courtyard in the village?

The village is self-sufficient, and no one comes out to buy vegetables every day. I thought about opening a piece of land behind the house to grow some vegetables and grains. First, I would save the trouble of buying vegetables back and forth, and second, I could save some money. .

Today is to buy vegetable seeds.

I wanted to buy some of all kinds of seeds, but I didn't buy all of them all morning. "

When Wang Qihong wanted to say something, Zhou Yuhui said first, "Brother Li, what's the matter! Our family happens to have a grocery store, which has all kinds of vegetables, grains and seeds."

Speaking of which, Zhou Yuhui couldn't help complaining to Shi Yan: "My husband and I have never planted land since we were young, and my husband is soft-hearted. Last time, I was fooled by someone, and spent hundreds of dollars to buy a sack of strange shapes. Seed.

The person who sold it to him couldn't tell what it was, it was the size of a fist, it was khaki, and it had sprouts on it, so no one dared to eat it. "

When Wang Qihong heard Zhou Yuhui complaining about him to Shi Yan, his face flushed a little, and he felt a little embarrassed, but when he heard Zhou Yuhui calling him husband in front of outsiders, he felt sweet again, and stretched out his hand unconsciously. Go over and hold Zhou Yuhui's hand.

Shi Yan had a panoramic view of everything, with a smile on his face, and said to Zhou Yuhui: "Which book did I see the thing you are talking about?"

However, I couldn't remember it for a while, why don't you sell the things to me, Mrs. Wang.

I'll take it back and plant it for a try. You know I've been used to farm work since I was a child. If I can eat it after planting it, I just need to find a pig to try it. "

Zhou Yuhui said generously: "Where is the need to buy this? Just give it to Brother Li. I planned to throw it away in a few days."

When Wang Qihong heard that Shi Yan had unknowingly changed her address from "Miss Zhou" to "Mrs. Wang", she was quite satisfied with Shi Yan, and felt that this person was very self-aware.

So he also stated: "Mr. Li, don't refuse. If you don't dislike it, just move it away. It's really useless to put it in my house. I asked many people, but they couldn't tell where it came from."

Shi Yan smiled and thanked the two of them: "If there are similar seeds in the future, please help me pay attention, Mr. Wang. You also know that I was born in a farming family. I have been very fond of farming since I was a child. I am tired of studying on weekdays. Go to the fields Go around, it's all for entertainment."

After thinking for a while, he added with a smile: "Prince Wang, if you don't mind, can I call you brother-in-law?

You also know the relationship between me and Mr. Zhou. I really love Miss Zhou as a younger sister. It seems a little strange to call you Mr. Wang all the time. "

Prince Wang immediately nodded and recognized the relationship between his wife and the man opposite: "Of course, Brother Li!"

Shi Yanxin said, it's so coaxing.It's so easy to be happy.

After a lively meal, Wang Qinian saw that Shi Yan was dressed plainly and his shoes were hidden from Xiaobu, and he heard that Shi Yan's father had just left this month, so he thoughtfully ordered a few more vegetarian dishes.

In the end, he said sincerely: "It is only in this dynasty that the atmosphere is open and the emperor is wise, allowing parents to take part in the imperial examination three months after their death.

If it was in the previous dynasty, Brother Li, you have a great time, but you will be delayed at home! "

Shi Yan nodded: "My sage is wise!"

It has to be said that it is indeed wise. Through observation during this period of time, Shi Yan felt that the person who founded the dynasty is very likely to be a traveler who took Long Aotian's script.

For example, after the death of a parent, the courtiers need Ding You for three years. There is no policy in this dynasty. Whether to suspend their duties and keep their salaries depends on the emperor's mood.

If the emperor thinks that you are still useful, he will give you half a month's funeral leave at most. After the holiday is over, you can come to work in a hurry.

If the emperor thinks that you are useless, that's fine, go to Ding You, starting in three years, there may be no hope of recovery in a lifetime.

In short, it is very arbitrary.

But when it comes to the folks, it is reflected in the home

After the death of his middle parents, he can take the imperial examination by himself after observing filial piety for three months.

Compared with the previous dynasties, it is outrageous to be open.

The husband and wife took Shi Yan to their grocery store, where Shi Yan picked out a lot of seeds. It was amazing that he found a lot of tomato seeds in a basket of mung bean seeds.

Wang Qihong looked worried, and sighed: "I bought this grocery store not long ago, and the source of many commodities is not stable. This mung bean is supplied by an acquaintance introduced by relatives at home. Who knows that he would use this kind of goods as shoddy to cheat and sell?" And me!

It is said to be high-quality mung beans from the south, but you can't recognize the grass seeds at all if you look at the adulterated things in it!It's so deceiving! "

Zhou Yuhui also sighed: "If the goods are short, the family members can use a sieve to sieve them out, but once the goods are purchased, there are several carts. I don't know how much money it will cost to hire someone to take in!"

Shi Yan took a closer look and found that they were indeed tomato seeds, so he smiled and said to Wang Qihong: "Brother-in-law, I don't see these as grass seeds. If you let someone sift them out, don't throw them away. Collect them. buy from you.

Just buy it at the price of mung beans, so you won't be at a disadvantage! "

Wang Qihong shook her head again and again: "How can this work? Isn't this taking advantage of you!?"

The husband and wife insisted on giving it to Shi Yan, but when Shi Yan mentioned money, the two of them were anxious to Shi Yan: "I originally wanted to ask someone to help screen it out, but if you ask Li Ge for money, what kind of people have our husband and wife become?" up?

If my father-in-law found out, he might come to us personally with a whip to ask for an explanation!

When everything is screened later, I will have someone send it to you! "

Shi Yanxin said, it's okay if you don't give money, but what kind of good fortune will be planted in the future is still uncertain, and we will talk about it in the future.

So I hired an ox cart, bought a cart of odds and ends for food, and tied the tables, chairs and benches laid by the carpenter to the back of the ox cart, making a lot of miscellaneous things.

The bullock carts are packed full, and the tall ones on the top can be tied several times with straw ropes. If there is a height limit here, Shi Yan thought, they would definitely be fined for this cart.

There was really no place to go on the carriage, so Shi Yan could only squeeze on the edge of the carriage with the driver and chat.

The coachman was an honest man, and he didn't say anything except that he felt sorry for his cattle. When the time came, Yan gave the coachman three extra copper coins, and the coachman laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

He kept saying to Shi Yan: "Xiao Xianggong needs it next time, and I will come to Dongcheng to find the little old man, and the little old man will give you a bargain!" He enthusiastically helped the two at home unload the things from the car.

Before leaving, Yan heard the old man muttering: "Xiao Xianggong is a good-tempered man, he must be a brother in this family. It's really strange that one is a monk and the other is a Taoist priest."

That's right, Shi Yan said that monks and Taoists are all his brothers.

It's just that it's about brothers of the opposite sex. If others don't ask, he won't say anything. Even if it's a misunderstanding, it's not his intentional guidance.
