happy life through time

No matter how busy the palace is, Tong Yan has already started to take action for his double-cropping rice plan, starting to divide the scope and prepare for the experiment.

There are not many fields in the capital, so I can only buy a Zhuangzi by myself to study.

Therefore, Tong Yan inquired about a Zhuangzi that needed to be sold.

The price is not high, because the crops are not growing well, the fields are not fertile, and the family owes a lot of debts for some things, so they want to sell the Zhuangzi, but because the Zhuangzi is not very good, no one is willing to buy it , not to mention that his price is not low, but it doesn't matter to Tong Yan, as long as he can study it.

This Zhuangzi is located in the fringe area of ​​the outskirts of Beijing. There are few people and it is very quiet. Another advantage is that this Zhuangzi has a hot spring. Although it cost a lot of money, Tong Yan felt that it was worth it.

In Zhuangzi, there are still former farmers, and Tong Yan hired them to be his experimental assistants.

When Li Subaran heard that Tong Yan suddenly went to the field to farm, his expression was a little weird, but in the end he didn't intervene, waiting for Tong Yan's result.

There should be some reason, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.

Tong Yan's daily life has not changed, but he spends most of his time in Zhuangzi.

At first Sun Shaoqiang invited Tong Yan to the Wenhui, but later he found that he was indeed talented, so he made friends with him.

Later, Tong Yan went to several related cultural conferences and met many people.

The research on double-cropping rice cannot happen overnight, Tong Yan can only wait slowly.

"Owner!"

Tong Yan raised his head slowly: "What's the matter?"

"Someone is coming, it seems to be someone from the palace."

Tong Yan frowned, and was guessing what to do, when suddenly a high-pitched voice sounded: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

Tong Yan was taken aback, got up quickly, straightened his clothes and went out.

Two palace servants stopped at the door, and Tong Yan rushed to meet them.

Qing Shui told him that the person who came was the head of the celebrity Lian Gonggonglian who was next to the emperor in the palace.

The emperor trusts him very much, he has a lot of face in front of the emperor, even the princes will give him some face.

When Tong Yan heard this, he immediately understood that this person should not be offended.

Calmly stuffed 500 taels of silver to Eunuch Lian, and said with respect in his expression: "Your Excellency went out of the palace and came to the mansion. It was really hard work. Tong Yan came from the countryside and didn't know the rules. , if there is any disrespect, please forgive me!"

Eunuch Lian glanced at Tong Yan with a half-smile, and put the banknote into his sleeve calmly. Tong Yan's "Master" made him very relieved. Although he is a eunuch, not everyone likes to do it by himself. As an eunuch, therefore, he prefers others to call him an adult rather than a father-in-law. When he treats Tong Yan, he is a little more kind and understands what Tong Yan means. He said with a smile: "Mr. People, the emperor is very happy."

Tong Yan breathed a sigh of relief, at least this edict was not a bad thing for him.

"Thank you sir."

"Tong Yan accepts the order!"

Tong Yan knelt down to accept the imperial edict.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: The country is benevolent, and the people are the first. According to the prefect of the local government, I am worried about the famine in the local area and the infestation of bandits. Today, Tong Yan, a talented scholar in Longyuan County, is extremely talented, courageous and resourceful. , use terraced fields to benefit the people, come up with a good strategy to eliminate bandits, to reassure the hearts of the people, great righteousness is commendable, hidden virtues should be shown, special commendation of merit, canonization from the Sipin county uncle, rewarding a thousand taels of silver, and a hundred hectares of fertile land, I admire this!"

When he knew that he had been canonized as a fourth-rank county uncle, Tong Yan's mind tensed up, and then he was only pleasantly surprised.

He showed joy in front of Eunuch Lian. Of course, no matter who it is, can he be unhappy when he gets promoted?

Seeing this, Eunuch Lian smiled and nodded. This is a normal behavior.

On the contrary, if Tong Yan behaved extremely mature and stable, and was neither happy nor angry in front of the promotion, he had to think carefully, whether this person could be friendly?

"Uncle, why don't you thank me soon?"

Only then did Tong Yan come to his senses, and said, "Thank you Lord Long En!"

"Uncle please get up quickly."

"My lord..." Tong Yan was still respectful to Eunuch Lian, his expression remained unchanged, his excitement was beyond words, and he just kept thanking him.

"Uncle now has a title, and the emperor will not treat those who have meritorious deeds badly. I hope that uncle will keep the grace in mind and share his majesty's worries in the future."

"Yes, Tong Yan will never forget."

"Our family still has something to do, so we won't talk to Uncle anymore, let's take a step first and say goodbye."

"In that case, Tong will give you a ride."

The two walked towards the door, and Tong Yan also knew from Eunuch Lian that this was the fame Li Subaran and Eleven earned for him, and Tong Yan was even more moved.

However, when he heard that Wang Dingjun also contributed to his fame, Tong Yan was a little embarrassed, not understanding why Wang Dingjun would act like this.

However, even so, it is impossible for Tong Yan to interact with him any more.

After sending Eunuch Lian out, Tong Yan returned to the mansion. With the title of title, he couldn't relax, because this position was nothing but to make people more respectful. What's more, in this place in the capital, a fourth-rank uncle Master is simply not enough to watch, he still needs to work harder.However, as the eleventh day began to approach slowly, Tong Yan felt joyful in his heart.

He knew that his main contribution was actually because of the terraced fields. Terraced fields can be used not only in Heyang County, but also in many places. In Dayan Country, they can be used generously.

Therefore, the emergence of terraced fields is his greatest contribution.

Tong Yan was a little flattered that he came up with a good plan to kill the bandits. Although he also participated, but he didn't come first to attribute this credit to him, Tong Yan really couldn't laugh or cry.

Of course, it is impossible to get an uncle to put these credits on him. I don't know if it is intentional to flatter him, or there is some reason.

It's inconvenient for Tong Yan to think too much, and he doesn't want to think about it. As long as he can live in peace, he believes that no one will make him a topic.

Of course, he didn't know that he could become the county magistrate of Sipin. In addition to the terraced fields, there was also the so-called "life-saving grace" of the envoy of Beiyue Kingdom, the "life-saving grace" of His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince. No one told Tong Yan about these things. They also didn't plan to tell Tong Yan, so Tong Yan couldn't know these things.

When Jing Jiutong knew that Tong Yan had been canonized as uncle, he had risen from the fourth rank to almost the same rank in an instant, and his expression was very ugly.

Among the people who came to Tong Yan's mansion to celebrate, he had the most exciting expression.

Tong Yan has made some friends in the capital recently, besides Jing Jiutong, Sun Shaoqiang, and friends he met at the literary fair were there to celebrate.

Kong Dezhen from the Kong family and Yin Muhe from the Yin family didn't have many friends, just these few, but the mansion felt very lively.

These people all have official positions. Needless to say, Jing Jiutong and Sun Shaoqiang, the two have already entered the court as officials, so they have the highest status among them. However, at this moment, it is just to celebrate Tong Yan becoming the county magistrate. It doesn't matter their status, but Kong Dezhen and Yin Muhe were the sons of the past, and they have families, so their official positions will not be too low.

In the near future, Kong De will set off for Quanzhou, and he will be released to Quanzhou, so this celebration is also a farewell.

The same is true for Yin Muhe, his family has arranged him in the army for him, and soon, he will go to the army to practice, and he does not know when he will come back.

Both of them had different choices. This time, apart from celebrating Tong Yan, they were also speaking freely about their future fantasies.

"Tong Yan, you have become an uncle, congratulations. Hey, I don't have your brains anymore, so I don't have to work so hard. How nice it is to be like you. Look at the terraced fields, the reservoir, There is also the waterwheel, which seems simple, but actually contains great principles. It is a test of a person's cognition of daily life, which can only be figured out by a person who fully understands the cognition of daily life. Before that, I couldn't think of it at all." Kong Dezhen said, he drank some wine and got a little drunk.

"Everyone has their own fortune, like you, who released Quanzhou to the outside world. I heard that Quanzhou is a treasure land of geomantic omen. How many people couldn't ask for it, but you caught up with me. I'm so envious of you." Jing Jiutong also drank. Taking a sip of the wine, he said gloomily that he also wanted to let it out, but there was always no chance.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, come on, let's toast Uncle Tong." Yin Muhe said with a smile, Tong Yan had no choice but to toast with them.

After drinking, Jing Jiutong asked, "Tong Yan, what are your plans next?"

"Right now, I just want to study hard and take the provincial examination next year."

Everyone nodded, not surprised by this.

Among them, only Jing Jiutong frowned, and Sun Shaoqiang took a look at Tong Yan. Both of them knew that Tong Yan could only stop at the Juren Examination. , just because he is an imperial merchant, Jing Jiutong sighed and said: "That's fine, then don't go back, stay in the capital and study hard. If necessary, I have a letter of recommendation from Mingde Academy Xin, you can go there to study."

Tong Yan shook his head: "Don't worry, I have other plans, and the results haven't come out yet, so I don't intend to enter the academy to study."

"Is it related to the Zhuangzi you bought?" Jing Jiutong asked casually.

Tong Yan didn't hide anything, but nodded: "Indeed."

"In this case, this letter is for you, or you will use it."

Tong Yan thanked her and did not refuse.

Among these people, they will all have their own paths in the future, and he also has his own path. As for how to go in the future, it depends on the fate of the individual.

In addition to emotion, I drank a little too much.

Tong Yan didn't even know when he was separated from them.

In a daze, being carried into the room, he opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.

"Eleven, you, you are back."

But now, his head was dazed, and Tong Yan wanted to chat with Shiyi a few more words, but finally fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, Eleven had disappeared, leaving only a letter.

Only two words: waiting for you!

These two words are full of thousands of words. Eleven doesn't want to wrong him, so I respect him, don't marry him, don't let him be a wife in such a capacity, let alone take him as a concubine, so I am willing to wait for him!

What he wants is not to marry eleven, but to marry eleven.

Among them, Tong Yan has his own self-esteem at work, and there is also something else, he doesn't want Eleven to stay in that palace any longer.

They just want a simple and happy life.

"Eleven, I won't let you wait too long." Tong Yan knew that when Eleven returned to the palace, someone would naturally arrange a marriage for him.

But since Eleven said to wait for him, it meant that Eleven would not agree to these marriages casually, and he would wait until the day when he was qualified to stand by his side after his rise, so that he could propose a marriage to the emperor.

Love can not care about the status gap between the two parties and the eyes of others, but it cannot ignore the elders of both parties.

To want someone, in Tong Yan's perception, it's not to let the other party follow him desperately. This will only bring more troubles. What he wants is that the other party can marry him with peace of mind. If there is any worry about the future, his life in the future can be guaranteed.

In the past, there were always stories about the so-called desperation for love, or there were such people around him, and some even broke up with their families. Tong Yan mostly sneered at this. In his heart, even the people around him could not make them feel at ease. Happiness, what qualifications do you have to guarantee that you can give peace of mind and happiness to your loved ones?Thinking that elopement or confrontation with the family is a form of striving for happiness, Tong Yan only wants to say: "This is killing me!" The best result is that one of the two parties backs down a step, but in the end, it still hurts. Heart, leaving a gap.

This is why Tong Yan has been insisting on scientific research. Of course, he cannot go to the end on this road now, but this does not mean that he has lost his chance.

Tong Yan got the approval letter for the [-]th, forgot the joy of becoming a county official, and once again immersed himself in the research of double-cropping rice.
