Bad Boy Farming

Qi Sheng saw Er Niu wrote, "Since Brother Su doesn't know how to solve it, let the children solve it themselves."

"What's the idea? Saying it is tantamount to not saying it."

Er Niu said, "Why didn't I say anything. In the court, the prince is half the emperor and the other princes are ministers. Now the emperor asks me as a father, and the four princes are the same in his eyes."

"Even so, there are distinctions in the emperor's heart."

Evil feudal society!Er Niu couldn't help muttering in his heart. "By the way, how much do you know about the prince?"

"The son of the middle palace was led by the emperor to teach him personally when he was born, and he went to court with the emperor when he was six years old. Taking the emperor's departure from the palace as an example, it is estimated that several princes and princes will govern together."

"In this way, the fight that the emperor mentioned probably involves a lot." Er Niu bit the tip of his pen, and then wrote another paragraph on the paper.After handing it over to the person who delivered the letter, he carried the plaque carved by him and Qi Sheng to the workshop.

"Brother Er Niu, what is written on the board?" Guang Jiao asked curiously.

"Happiness Village!" Er Niu said, "Mr. Su Ba who came to my house wrote it, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Wide Angle nodded.

Er Niu asked, "What's a good way?"

Wide Angle groaned, "That, that, it's good anyway!"

"Bullying my Guangjiao again!" Mrs. Zhang Li slapped Er Niu on the shoulder, "Xingfu Village, Xingfu Village, how dare you hang up!"

"What's wrong." Er Niu stared, "Which one of you feels unhappy?"

The people who came to work in the workshop couldn't tell.A year ago, they struggled with whether to eat two meals a day or three meals a day. Now let alone meals, they can afford to eat meat every day.

Er Niu smiled slightly, "In that case, can this plaque be hung?"

"Hang up!" the village head said.

"Actually, I hang this plaque not because we are very happy now, but to let everyone look up and see how difficult it was for us before, and we will be happier in the future." Er Niu said after a pause, " Do you have that confidence?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, embarrassed to respond, and immediately said, "If there are two bulls, we will have them!"

Er Niu smiled, "Everyone values ​​me so much, then I will work with you from today on."

"No need for this." Everyone waved their hands again and again, "You have to be busy with big things, so you can't be like us."

"The things I do are simple, and anyone can do them. Besides, I'm also a member of Zhangjia Village, so I can't just let you do the work." Er Niu said, "By the way, if any of you have something to do, just do it and turn around. Ask Qi Sheng to help us."

The surroundings were quiet, and Qi Sheng who was standing aside secretly winked at Er Niu, and said silently, "It's almost done."

Er Niu twitched his lips, these people have to beat every day!

The village head also knew that some people envied Er Niu for giving more money than them every time, and they were a little lazy at work recently, which made some people feel unhappy.No one listened to what he said, so he wanted to have a good chat with Er Niu another day, but Er Niu also found out.

Others didn't expect that Er Niu didn't come to the workshop very much during this time, and actually knew that some people were absent from work from time to time.Just when they thought that Er Niu would deduct money again, Er Niu said nothing.

Qi Sheng found some people secretly looking at Er Niu, and asked on the way home, "Are you interested?"

"No way." Er Niu blinked innocently.

"I don't know you yet. I don't talk about how to deal with lazy people now. I just want to make people panic and finally come out and admit their mistakes."

Er Niu stopped in his tracks and said, "Some things are more interesting if they are not revealed!"

"Hehe..." Qi Sheng glanced at him, "The emperor must have seen your true nature and sent someone to send you a letter all the way."

"Just give it away, I'll see when he can deliver it." Er Niuhun didn't care.But I didn't expect that it would take ten years to send this letter.

For ten years, whenever the emperor encountered difficult decisions, he would always send someone to find Er Niu as quickly as possible.Later, Er Niu realized that sometimes the emperor didn't want to listen to his opinion, but that he was alone and lacked someone to talk to.

In the past ten years, many things happened in the court, but Er Niu didn't know it very well, and it was precisely because he didn't know that the emperor felt relieved to communicate with Er Niu by letter.

When Er Niu packed the calf's luggage, he said, "The emperor will never write to us again."

Qi Sheng asked, "Why? Because Xiao Niu and Jian Dou are going to Beijing for the exam?"

"That's right. After the general examination, there will be the palace examination. If the two of them are lucky enough to become tributes to meet the emperor, they will at least be able to get a seventh-rank sesame official in the future."

Qi Sheng nodded thoughtfully, "By the way, the county magistrate sent someone to send 50 taels of silver, saying that it was for Master Juren to take the exam, should I accept it or not?"

"Take it!" Ever since Er Niu hung the plaque "Happy Village" outside the gate of the workshop, over the years, the county magistrate would bow to Er Niu every time he saw him. Anyway, he was the county magistrate of his Maoling County, and he himself was the leader of Zhangjia Village.

"Aren't you going to Kyoto?" Qi Sheng asked again, "Bring Mengmeng, let's have a good time together."

Er Niu gave him a blank look, "Mengmeng is the little Xieyuan of this provincial examination. I have made him very unhappy by pressing him not to let him go to the capital, so don't sprinkle salt on his heart."

At the same time, Xiao Niu also said in the next room, "Second brother is too domineering, why are you not allowed to participate in the test because you are young!"

"Uncle Xiaoniu, don't say that. Mengmeng is not yet 15 years old. Even if he becomes the champion, the emperor will let Mengmeng go home." Jiandou rubbed Mengmeng's head, "Don't be angry, you will be in three years Soon, once you are in high school, even if you are not exiled, you can still enter the Imperial Academy. My second uncle said that the current two prime ministers used to be just aristocrats."

"How does Second Brother know?" Maverick's eyes widened.

Mengmeng raised her head, "How does Erniu know the prime minister?"

Jian Dou looked at them, very strange, "Can't Uncle Er Niu know?"

Of course not!The farthest place Er Niu has been to these years is Qingzhou, and I have never seen him talk about government affairs, "When will the second brother tell you?"

Jiandou thought for a while, "Second Uncle didn't tell me. It was he and Qi Ershu who told the two prime ministers that they were still old enough to fight in front of the emperor. Fortunately, they were born in the Imperial Academy. Shame on scholars."

"Why does he even know that the prime minister is fighting?" The two asked in unison.

Jian Dou was taken aback, and murmured, "Uncle Er Niu is so powerful, you know it's normal?"

Maverick wanted to slap him, "Can you think a little bit more, that's Kyoto! That's the palace! We haven't heard of it every day in the county, how could he know!"

"That's right." Jian Dou thought for a while and came to a conclusion, "Uncle Er Niu is too powerful!"

Maverick and Mengmeng looked at each other, and decisively left the sword bean to find Erniu.

Er Niu looked at the two young men, one tall and one short in front of him, "Have you lost your temper?"

Maverick hummed, Mengmeng rolled her eyes.

"Looking for a beating." Qi Sheng raised his hand and slapped them alone, "Er Niu asked you something."

"Why do you know what's going on in the palace?" Maverick asked directly, and Mengmeng immediately raised her ears.

Er Niu coughed lightly, Xiao Niu and Mengmeng's heart raised it, and Er Niu said, "I won't tell you!"

"You!" Maverick stared, "I won't go to Kyoto if you don't tell me!"

If Erniu can be threatened, then he is not Zhang Erniu, "You are already 21 years old. If you don't study, your child will be as old as Guangbai's son. Since you can't go to Kyoto, I think you have already thought it over. "

"Erniu..." It's not hard, Mengmeng can only be soft, pulling his arm and shaking it, "Just tell us, don't you say Mavericks don't have the heart to try."

"What's there to say, Su Jiu said it." Er Niu was very happy this time, and raised his hand to pinch Mengmeng's face, "Come with me to Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, okay?"

Tomorrow is the day when Mavericks and Sword Beans will go to Beijing for the exam, Mengmeng's face darkened, and she said after a while, "Okay!"

Er Niu and Qi Sheng raised their eyebrows, and the next day, Qi Sheng took Maverick and Sword Bean and set foot on the passenger ship heading north with the hopes of the folks in Zhangjia Village.

Seeing the steam in Mengmeng's eyes, Zhang Lishi and the others gave Erniu a disapproving look.

Er Niu said, "There are only six juren in Maoling County this year, and my family takes up half of them. If you let Mengmeng go to the capital, aren't you afraid that he will be caught and beaten up halfway?"

"Don't lie to us! Who would dare to beat him up when Qi is in charge!"

"Qi Sheng was injured by a wild boar back then and couldn't move. Two fists are no match for four hands. I need to explain this truth."

"You, you are full of fallacies!" The old doctor who was already too old to walk pointedly pointed at Er Niu and said, "Don't think that I don't know what you think, you can fool others and you can't fool me!"

"Old doctor, tell me quickly." The old village head, whose hair was gray and his teeth were about to fall out, asked hurriedly, "Did Er Niu have other thoughts?"

"I'm in the village all day long, so I don't think so much." The 28-year-old handsome man is in his prime, even if he rolls his eyes, he looks good.The women in the village like to use Er Niu and Qi Sheng to teach their children the most. They are not willing to make things difficult for Er Niu at all, so they say, "The old doctor is confused, so ignore him. Go home and pack your bags and go to Lin'an Mansion." The ship is coming soon."

"Who said I was confused!" said the old doctor, "Mengmeng is Xieyuan, and Maverick is Yayuan. Aren't you afraid that they might compete for the first place?"

"Really?" Mengmeng stared at Erniu with wide eyes.

Er Niu put his arms around his small shoulders, "Silly boy, he is a fool and you should be fooled too. The world is so big, and there are countless famous and talented students. You are Jie Yuan here, but you are nothing in front of the emperor." .Did you forget that the number one scholar is hand-picked by the emperor."

"Is it really like what Sword Bean said?" Mengmeng asked with a bitter face.

Without saying a word, Er Niu pulled him to the river, "Look at the shadow in the water, if you were the emperor, would you let a child be the champion?"

Mengmeng squeezed her steamed bun face, extremely sad, "I, I will lose weight tomorrow!"

"Impossible!" A group of aunts and aunts hurriedly said, "You are growing your body, and you will not grow taller if you don't eat."

Mengmeng looked up at Erniu, with two tears in her eyes, "I blame you! Who told you to let me study so early! Cheng Jieyuan can't go to Kyoto... woo... woo..."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's all my fault!" Er Niu held him in his arms, patted his back, thinking, cry, cry, just cry out.

Seeing that his words made Xiao Mengmeng burst into tears, the old doctor shrank his neck in embarrassment, and ran away holding the junior's arm under the stares of all the women in the village.

With the development of these years, Wide Angle and Lao Wu have been able to take care of themselves. Even if Er Niu is not around, they can still manage the affairs of the workshop.

Because Erniu's family had three candidates at a time, Zhangjiacun's reputation once again resounded throughout Maoling County. When people in the village heard that Erniu was going to stay with Mengmeng in Lin'an for a while, even Zhang Lan said, "You guys are going to stay in Lin'an for a while." Don't worry, I will take care of you at home."

Xiao Niu has become a Juren, and Zhang Lan's face is also bright. The days are better, and Zhang Lan's behavior is not as unbearable as before.With Qi Dong watching beside him, Er Niu said, "I will trouble you, Madam."

Zhang Lanshi was actually embarrassed, "Don't bother, don't bother, I will definitely raise your chickens and ducks for nothing."

"Don't talk if you can't speak!" Zhang Li glanced at her, "Er Niu, this is my pork jerky. You and Mengmeng will eat it on the boat."

"This is the persimmon cake I made." Zhang Wei said and handed out a bag, Mengmeng hurriedly caught it, "So many?"

"We're not fleeing, what are you doing with so many things?" Er Niu frowned.

"If you don't eat, keep Mengmeng to eat." Zhang Lishi glared at him again as he spoke, "Mengmeng, if your father doesn't give you food, come back and tell me, and I will beat him."

"Okay! Okay! Dad is out." Er Niu hurriedly pulled Mengmeng onto the boat, and then called the boatman to set off quickly.

Mengmeng carefully looked at the direction of the boat, "Erniu, are we not going to Lin'an Mansion?"

"That's right." Er Niu dared to nod and said, "I've done the math, it will take at least two months for the Mavericks to come home, so let's just play outside for two months."

"Have you thought about it long ago?" Mengmeng asked in disbelief.

Er Niu smiled and said, "I'm not a god, how could I know that you will definitely win the exam." Then he pulled Mengmeng to sit down, "Do you think that as long as you are knowledgeable, fair and honest, you can become a good official?"

"Isn't it?" Mengmeng asked.

Er Niu said, "Of course not. Before learning to be an official, you must learn to be a man. Although two months is short, it is enough for you to learn how to be a man."

"you teach me?"

"As long as you are unhappy, you can call my father. If I don't teach my son, can I point to Qi Sheng to teach him?" Er Niu smiled and rubbed his head, and then gave Mengmeng five taels of silver, "This is when we get off the boat. If you use up the expenses for the next five days early, we can only use the sky as our bed and the ground as our bed."

"How is it possible?" Mengmeng has lived with the cheapskate for more than ten years, and Mengmeng knows very well how much a coin can buy.

However, when he used up the five taels of silver, Mengmeng still couldn't believe it, "Er Niu, Er Niu, what day is it today?"

"Day three."

"so?"

"We have to sleep on the side of the road for two days and eat persimmons for two days." Er Niu said, "It's better for the villagers to think carefully, otherwise we will only be hungry." Seeing Mengmeng's face sad, "Maybe we should be the original The agreement does not exist, you and I can still go to the restaurant to eat."

"Erniu, I'm sorry." Mengmeng shook her head, "I got you in trouble."

"It's not cold now, so let's pretend we didn't make it back when we went to the mountains. Besides, sleeping on the side of the road is much better than sleeping on the mountains. At least we don't have to worry about wild animals." Er Niu was really afraid that Mengmeng would regret it.

After the two of them tightened their belts for two days, a new problem arose.

Mengmeng saw a little beggar, so she took out her purse and gave the beggar five copper coins.When the little beggar saw him face to face, he united a group of beggars and entangled Mengmeng. After a while, more than 100 copper coins were gone.

The money is Mengmeng's plan to buy fruit for Er Niu to quench his thirst.

Mengmeng clutched the hem of her clothes that had been scratched by the beggar, and drooped her head, "Er Niu, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter!" Mengmeng has never suffered hardships in life, but she is smart but doesn't know much about the world. This is also the most important reason why Erniu doesn't let him take part in the test, not one of them.So he said, "I was scared stupid by those beggars just now, we will run away from them when we meet them."

"Not good?" Mengmeng raised her head, "It's not easy for them. How about I throw them a copper coin next time and run away?"

Er Niu pretended to think about it, "It depends on the situation, what if they come here to ask for money?"

"No way?" Mengmeng's eyes widened.

Er Niu said, "Anything is possible, your second uncle is not around, anyway, we should be careful outside."
