I farmed in ancient times

The carriage wobbled as it approached the capital. The black-faced young man lifted the curtain to take a look, bowed out, and got out of the carriage.

Jueming hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out. What he saw was rows of weeping willows and a stone bridge in front of him, with people coming and going in an endless stream.

The coachman got out of the car and led the horse and walked slowly forward among the crowd, and Jue Ming got out of the car.

He had been running a fever for the past few days, and now it was just right, and he was still a little top-heavy, Caesar looked around while walking, as if he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

In fact, he has been to modern Kaifeng, Kaifeng retains some ancient sites, and the rest are all modern buildings.

In the future, only sections of low city walls and ancient buildings that are constantly being repaired can be seen from high-rise buildings.

How can this antique building look good?

The black-faced young man spoke very little, a few of them crossed the moat, before entering the city gate, Jue Ming looked up, below the urn city, above the city gate, the three big golden characters of Suzaku Gate shone slightly in the sunlight.

Suzaku Gate is on the south side of Kaifeng. After several people entered through the gates, the black-faced young man invited Cassia Ming into the carriage, and continued to walk into the city in the carriage.

Caesar simply lifted the curtain of the car, sat next to the coachman and dangled his legs to look around.

The crowds come and go in various forms, including children with curly hair, old men with yellow hair, women and young people, and their clothes are clean and well-behaved.

Before I could take a closer look, the carriage had already reached the next bridge.

The bridge was made of bluestone. When the carriage approached, the speed slowed down. Cassia glanced at the handrail on one side, and there were still patterns engraved on it, but it couldn't be seen clearly from a distance, only the outlines of the clouds could be seen.

After crossing this bridge, the speed of the carriage became even slower. After walking a few steps, a surprised voice came from the front.

"Cen Jueming?" Shen Yan asked in "surprise": "When did you come to Kaifeng? I don't know if I will."

Chao An glanced at the county magistrate Shen who was lying without changing his face and heartbeat, and held his brother's hand tightly.

Seeing that the person on the opposite side was acquainted, the driver hurriedly slowed down.

Shen Yan rode a brown-red steed, directly reining in the reins, the steed turned around, and he and Cassia's carriage walked slowly on the street side by side.

Jue Ming's words were drafted in his stomach, and he finally said: "I wanted to settle down and then visit the house, but I didn't expect to meet County Magistrate Shen on the street."

The words were impeccable, Shen Yan took off the black gauze cap on his head, got off his horse, let his attendants lead the horses to follow, and walked next to the carriage on foot.

Seeing this, Jue Ming hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and asked, "Is Magistrate Shen serving in the capital now?"

Shen Yan flicked the crimson official robe on his body, "Yes, I'm begging for a meal in Beijing."

The two walked along the road for a while, and when they reached a fork in the road, Shen Yan hugged his hat and said, "I still have something to do today, so I won't bother you at the house. You must have the audacity to visit when you have time."

Jueming bowed to him, watched him get on the horse neatly, and rode the horse in the opposite direction.

The black-faced youth led Cassia through an alley and stopped at the gate of a small courtyard.

The small courtyard was low, and the entrance was very clean. Cen Daonian stood at the entrance with a smile on his face. Seeing Jueming and the others get off the carriage, he hurried up to meet him.

As soon as Cen Chaoan touched the ground, he immediately rushed up, shouting: "Daddy—"

Cen Daonian and Cen Chaoan hugged each other, Jue Ming stepped forward hesitantly, Cen Daonian stretched out his arms, hugging the two sons tightly.

"The yard is a bit smaller now, let's make do with it for two days." Cen Daonian said, and led the two of them into the house, "The old house from before is back, and it can be used when there is time to repair it."

Jueming glanced at it. There were only two rooms in this small courtyard, which was not as big as the one at the foot of the mountain in Damo Township. There was a tall ginkgo tree in the courtyard, which blocked most of the sunlight, making the entire courtyard cool and pleasant.

There is a wooden table and a deck chair under the ginkgo tree.

The black-faced young man saluted Cen Daonian respectfully, and reported in a low voice what he had encountered along the way.

Hearing that Cassia Ming had a high fever again on the road, Cen Daonian frowned, secretly thinking that he must take Cassia Ming to some famous Xinglin experts to have a look.

After rushing for several days, Cen Daonian didn't bother to take people out for dinner today, but boiled hot water for Caesar Ming and Chaoan to take a bath.

The cassia was soaked in the wooden barrel, and the fatigue around him faded away with the hot water, and it was already dark outside.

Lying on the edge of the bathtub, Jue Ming thought about walking around this small courtyard just now, and there is no kitchen here, how will he cook tonight?

Before he finished taking a shower, a scent of wine and vegetables wafted from outside.

Cassia finished washing in a hurry, came out wiping his hair, and asked Father Cen, it turned out that he bought the food from a tavern outside.

Is this an ancient "takeaway"?

With his hair half-dried, Jue Ming couldn't wait to sit at the table, looking at Father Cen eagerly.

Father Cen raised his chopsticks: "You have all been tired for a long time, eat quickly."

After Cen's father picked up a dish with chopsticks, Cen Chaoan and Caesar Ming put down their chopsticks. There were three hot dishes, two cold dishes, and a sweet soup on the table.

Cassia Ming ate a few mouthfuls of the vegetables, and tasted that they were made of mutton. Although the dishes were not exquisite, they tasted very good.The sweet soup contained sesame seeds, red dates, lotus seeds and lilies. Caesar took a spoonful of lotus seeds and was so bitter from the lotus core that his face collapsed instantly.

Fortunately, the taste of the soup is sweet, and it is relieved after a sip.

Cen Daonian explained: "This lotus seed relieves the fire, so you can eat less in summer."

After dinner, someone from the restaurant came to collect the bowls and chopsticks again, and he didn't even have to clean the bowls himself. Caesar clutched his stomach and sighed: It's great to be an ancient rice worm.

Cen Daonian also bought a lot of melons and fruits and put them in the well. Now that they are lifted up, there is still a layer of frost on the surface of the fruits.

Sitting in the courtyard to rest for a while, Cen Chaoan yawned profusely.

Cen Daonian took Chao An into the house to sleep, and immediately, there were only two people left in the whole yard.

"I'll take you to the old house tomorrow. I'm going to go to court in a few days. I may not be able to take care of the affairs of the mansion." Cen Daonian rolled up his sleeves, picked up the small teapot and poured a bowl full of tea for Cassia Ming.

Juming nodded, "I will try my best to do well."

Cen Daonian said: "The old house has been abandoned for a long time, and I am afraid that some of the houses are uninhabitable. First, the main house and the two side rooms will be repaired, and the rest of the yard, garden, and pool will be slowly developed."

Cassia: "Okay."

"That's right." Cen Daonian propped his arms on the table and looked up at the sky, "I have a few brothers, don't worry about it, if anyone dares to bully you, just hit them."

Cen Daonian: "Father is the rest."

"...Okay." Jueming blinked.

It turns out that Cen still has relatives, but this relationship...

Cen Daonian changed the subject solemnly, and sighed: "The stars are so bright tonight."

Late at night, Cen Daonian took Cassia Ming to the house to sleep.

Because Jueming and Chao'an were coming, Cen Daonian specially bought a bamboo bed and laid out the bedding early.

Cassia lay down quickly and covered the quilt, and soon, she felt drowsy and fell into a deep sleep.

Sleeping in the middle of the night, Jueming heard footsteps, and felt in a daze that the thin quilt covering his stomach was pulled up and covered his shoulders.
