I farmed in ancient times

Cassia lay on the bed, hugging the quilt and rolling back and forth.

As a true southerner, Cassia has always taken a bath every day, and it was too cold to take a bath in the yard before.

Now that the bathroom has been covered, you can take a bath with peace of mind when the wooden barrel is delivered!Never have to shower in the yard again!

Thinking of this, Jue Ming wished he could get up and jump up and down to express his excitement.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the courtyard.

Letting go of the quilt in his hand, Jue Ming opened the door, could it be that Li Xiurong from the yard next door came looking for trouble again?

The last time he took an arrow and flicked him on the forehead, after a month of silence, he started to move again?

Caesar walked to the wall to take down the quiver, and unloaded the arrowhead.

In the backyard, a tall figure stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

The mountains were covered with fog, and there was no moon tonight. With the light of a few stars, Caesar could not see clearly, but it was certain that the person in the yard was not Li Xiurong, but Cen Daonian.

Cassia quietly retreated to the room.

I counted the days with my fingers, tomorrow is Qingming, Father Cen was thinking about his wife.

In the morning of the second day, Jue Ming made breakfast, and Cen Daonian came out of the main room with the same expression on his face. Today, he is taking a rest, and Cen's father is at home with his two children.

It was still raining heavily outside, and Chao An looked at the rain outside the door with his small face: "It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and the passers-by on the road want to die."

Father Cen patted his youngest son's head, "You're a quick learner."

"Because my elder brother said, Chaoan must study hard so that he can protect his father in the future." Chaoan took Cen's father's hand, "Chaoan doesn't want to take a rest, and Chaoan is going to write big characters." Cen Chaoan put down Cen Daonian's hand, Talk about writing, really write, ran to the desk, climbed up the chair and spread the paper, Xiaopang held the brush in his hand, and slowly wrote on the paper with his wrist hanging.

Before coming to Damo Township, Cen Chaoan was still a bit naughty, he didn't eat well at home, and didn't want to study. After coming here... it was Jue Ming who slowly led Chaoan to become sensible.

Cen Daonian's eyes moved to Caesar Ming, who was lowering his head and peeling off the bamboo in his hand, his eyes were bright and pure.

Cassia patted the bamboo scraps off his legs, and inserted the sliced ​​bamboo into the bamboo tube to make a tray.

Fill in the gap below with a wooden plate, Caesar tried it, and the wooden plate was not hindered, "Okay!"

Caesar put the tea tray on the wooden table and put the teapot on it, which was a suitable size.

"Look!" Jue Ming held the tea tray in front of Father Cen as if offering a treasure.

"Very good." Cen Daonian held it and flipped through it. Although the connection between the bamboo stick and the bamboo tube was loose, it did not affect its use. He subconsciously joked: "Your hand is so skillful, I don't know who followed it..."

Hearing what he said, Jue Ming's heart trembled, and he said awkwardly, "I saw someone using it in the town."

Cen Daonian put down the tea tray, "I like it very much, you did a good job, be careful not to cut your hands when cutting the bamboo."

Seeing that Father Cen didn't doubt himself, Jue Ming cheered up again, "When the wooden barrel arrives, boil a pot of water and take a bath."

"I'm very relieved to have you here at home." Father Cen put down the tea tray, "It's raining less outside, go to Li Yanei to help him build a bathroom."

Instructing Cen Chaoan to write well at home, Cen Daonian changed into an old clothes and brought Cassia to help.

Yesterday someone helped my family, and today I will also help his family, and the courtesy is reciprocal.Caesar got up and followed Father Cen to the small courtyard next door.

Before Li Xiurong got up, Wu Yuan heard that he wanted to help build the bathroom, but he declined after being defeated by Cen's father's enthusiasm, so he had to start building it together.

The structure of the yard here is the same as that of our own. The three of them planned the direction of the drainage ditch in the yard and started to build the drainage ditch first.

"What are you doing?" Li Xiurong opened his mouth wide and yawned, apparently he had just woken up.

Wu Yuan replied: "Master Cen wants to help build the bathroom."

Li Xiurong waved his hand, "You guys build it, it's so boring to build this thing, I'll sleep on it later."

After yesterday's freshness, Li Xiurong didn't bother to move anyway.

"Then build it up and don't go in to take a bath." Jue Ming said angrily, "This is for your house, not for Wu Yuan alone."

Wu Yuan quickly shook his head, "Officials are used by one person, I don't..."

"Stop it." Jue Ming said angrily, "Li Xiurong, don't pretend to be an official, it's just such a big yard, you and Wu Yuan are together, why don't you hurry up and help each other, just make do with your life, It's not too late to put on airs when you get home."

Wu Yuan lowered his head, not daring to speak.

The Li family has strict rules and no one dares to exceed them.

Jue Ming: "Furthermore, the man Wu Yuan was kind enough to save your life."

Li Xiurong's eyes widened, but he received a blank stare from Jue Ming.

Scratching his head, Jue Ming seemed to be right. He escaped from Bianjing all the way here, and lived and died together with Wu Yuan. The friendship has long surpassed that of ordinary masters and servants. He felt that Wu Yuan was different from ordinary followers.

Slowly, Li Xiurong went to move the blue bricks.

Seeing that Cassia Ming actually persuaded Li Xiurong to go to work, Wu Yuan looked at Cassia Ming like a monster.

Everyone in the Li family didn't follow Li Xiurong's heart.Let Li Xiurong take the initiative to do things, unless Li Xiurong finds it interesting, no one can force him.

Not even Weng Weng, whom Li Xiurong admired the most.

Li Xiurong moved four bricks in one go, while Jue Ming and Cen Daonian squatted on the side to build a ditch. The four of them were working hard, when Uncle Shi rushed over, smiled and said that he was late, and joined the ranks of building the bathroom together.

It took several people a day to build it, and when Uncle Shi's wooden planks arrived the next day, they helped and it was quickly built.

After eating the food made by Aunt Shi, Li Xiurong took the food between his hands and praised loudly, "Aunt Shi's cooking is delicious."

Knowing that he said that on purpose, Caesar ignored him and ate the braised pork ribs made by Aunt Shi with relish.

During this time, Carpenter Liu never stopped working with his hands. Every day he opened his eyes and began to plan wood, and he didn't put down the plane until he went to sleep.

After waiting for a few days, Carpenter Liu brought all the big wooden barrels from the three families in one go, causing a sensation in Damo Township.

Who doesn't take a bath, but it's not like the three families on the hillside who spend money to make a wooden barrel and build a house dedicated to taking a bath.

It is said that all the rich families in the city enjoy their blessings in this way. Now, Damo Township looks at the three families on the slope very differently.

The rain in April was still falling. After dinner, Caesar happily went to the kitchen to boil water. First, he scalded the wooden bucket, and then filled it with hot and cold water.

After adjusting the water temperature, Caesar went to the main room to call Father Cen to take a bath.

"You wash first." Father Cen shook his head, "I won't sleep yet."

Seeing him writing a letter, Jueming let out an "oh" and said, "Then I'll wash it first."

"I want to wash with my brother!" Chao An stretched out two chubby hands to grab the lapel of Cassia Ming's clothes, and Caesar patted his head helplessly, "Okay, wash with me."

With Cen Chaoan, Jue Ming took another large dry cloth and went to the bathroom together.

The space in the bathroom is very small. After placing a wooden barrel, there is only a wooden shelf and a place to turn around.

First undressed Chao An, put him in the water, Cassia took off his clothes and put his legs into the barrel.

The water vapor was dense, and Chao An was short, standing in the wooden bucket with water up to his chest, while Cassia sat in the bucket, holding a loofah to help Chao An take a bath.

"Brother." Chao An shouted.

Jueming: "Huh?"

"Brother used to be timid and timid, and Chao An didn't think you were the elder brother, but I was the elder brother." Cen Chaoan said, "But now, you look like a big brother."

How brave can a teenager be? Caesar rubbed Chaoan well, turned him over and continued rubbing him, "Then which brother do you think you like?"

Chaoan bowed his head, "The older brother was timid, but he wouldn't kill me, but I like the older brother better now."

"Huh?" Jueming put down the loofah, "Don't you really hate me for letting you learn how to write?"

"Daddy said that only by studying hard can you become a useful person. I want to become a useful person in the future and protect my brother and dad." Chaoan said, his dark eyes flickering, "Daddy said that my brother will not take exams in the future, why? What? When you become a high official, you won’t be afraid of those bad guys.”

——Can't take the exam?

Jueming thought about it, but Cen's father never mentioned asking him to study, but Cen Chao'an was forced to write and read every day.

"Because my brother is too stupid and not as smart as Chaoan." Jue Ming stroked Cen Chaoan's little head, "Now I get a headache when I see words. You have to study hard and learn my part well."

Didn't my brother like reading books the most?Although Cen Chaoan was puzzled, he didn't ask why his brother didn't like reading anymore, he was like a dog. Last time he said he likes to eat chestnut cakes, but a few days later he suddenly boasted how delicious osmanthus cakes are. People always change.

After being washed by Cen Chao'an, Cassia leaned on the barrel, thinking in his heart that after Qingming, he could grow a lot of things.

In summer, there are many kinds of vegetables, and when summer and autumn are handed over, many fruits can also be eaten.

Thinking of fruit, Cassia smacked his lips. The fruit trees will be improved by grafting. When the time comes, a bunch of fruit trees will be planted in the backyard, so that there will be endless fruits.

After Cen Chaoan finished soaking, Cassia took out the bucket and dried it first, put on his clothes, then wrapped Cen Chaoan in a dry cloth, hugged him to the bed, and let him go to sleep.

Under the barrel, Cassia deliberately asked Carpenter Liu to leave a small hole for drainage. At this moment, he only needs to pull out the plug, let the water drain out, wash the barrel and replace it with new water.

Cen Daonian finished writing the envelope and took off his clothes to take a bath.

I have to say that after taking a bath, it was really comfortable. Cassia lay on the bed, and fell asleep drowsily before Father Cen finished taking a bath.

A few days after the three families "enjoyed their blessings", an unexpected visitor came to Uncle Shi's house.

An old lady staggered to Uncle Shi's house with her little feet. Not long after, she heard Uncle Shi shout angrily, "Get out!"

The flower matchmaker came out of Uncle Shi's house in disgrace, and saw two other families up there, one was a wife, and the other was a petty official. She suppressed the resentment in her heart, smiled and went to Cen's house to knock on the door.

Jueming opened the door, and the flower matchmaker twisted her body and squeezed in, sizing her up as she walked, and said, "Oh, Master's house has taken in so many bundles of repairs, why are they still crowded in such a small place?"

As soon as the woman opened her mouth, Cen Daonian, who was standing at the door of the main room, turned cold, and Jue Ming smiled and said, "Is half a copper coin related to how many bundles my family accepts?"

——How dare you care about where we live.

The flower matchmaker's expression froze, and then she smoothed things over and said, "Isn't that thinking that if I live in the future, one person will not be enough?"

Cen Daonian interrupted her, "Who are you and what's the matter?"

The flower matchmaker immediately smiled, "Master Cen, you don't know, I can't do farm work anymore with my old bones, but I just can't relax, and I like to hold the red thread on weekdays..."

Cen Daonian understood what this person in front of him was doing, "My family has no intention of marrying anyone, please come back."

The flower matchmaker's smirk froze on her face, as if she hadn't heard what Cen Daonian said, and continued: "The cousin's house in Wangli Village has a daughter of an appropriate age, who is hardworking and capable, but the death of my mother delayed her for a few years... ... Mr. Cen, you have to teach during the day and take care of two children at night, every hostess in the family can't be..."

Cen Daonian's face was as cold as old ice, and anger was suppressed in his eyes.

Caesar hurriedly opened the courtyard door, stood in front of the flower matchmaker with a smile on her face, stretched out her hand in a "please" gesture, and said, "Please go away."

Jueming now understood why Uncle Shi was so angry just now, if Father Cen hadn't hindered his identity as a scholar, he would have sent the flower matchmaker out with a broom.

The flower matchmaker hit a wall again and again, and could no longer suppress the resentment in her heart, "I have good intentions!"

"What's the matter?" Li Xiurong swaggered in from outside the courtyard.

Seeing him, Jue Ming felt a pain in his head, wherever there was something wrong, there was Li Xiurong.

The flower matchmaker recognized Li Xiurong, put away the resentment on her face, and put on a smirk, "Isn't this a matchmaking with Mrs. Cen? Li Guanren, you don't know, there are four or five well-off families outside who have heard of Li Guanren's heroic appearance. Quite a few people inquired about officials..."

This flattering Li Xiurong was very refreshing. After leaving home, it had been a long time since anyone had praised him like this. Well, he had more winks than that boy Jin Shan.

Li Xiurong was listening beautifully to the flower matchmaker bragging about herself, and bragging about the extravagant hype of the girls outside, like a fairy descending from the mortal world, Luoshen reincarnated, suddenly said: "That kind of mortal beauty, even my laundry maid, don't want it. "

The rest of the flower matchmaker's words stuck in her throat, neither in nor out.

"Then...Cen..." The flower matchmaker pondered for a while, and was about to say something about Cen Jueming.

He is neither a single old man who lost his wife, nor a petty official who has seen countless maids, so it should be easy to break through from him.

Thinking of the happy money given by the woman for the said marriage, the flower matchmaker braced herself and said, "There is a family in Shuikou Town..."

"Please leave my house in a hurry." Jueming took off the quiver, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Don't regret messing with my flower matchmaker!" The flower matchmaker left angrily.

Of course Cassia would not regret it, and he did not intend to harm ancient girls, so why would he regret it?Glancing at Cen Daonian secretly, Cen Daonian's face remained normal, and he told Jue Ming not to let the matchmakers in when he saw them in the future, but to directly refuse them.

"Oh." Li Xiurong touched his face, "It's also a fault to be handsome."

After offending the matchmaker, the "notoriety" of the three families at the foot of the mountain quickly spread in several nearby villages.

Cassia was too busy tinkering with the ground outside the yard to bother with the rumors outside.

"It's done!"

Caesar picked off the soybeans, observed them before his eyes, and wrote down a sum in a small notebook.

The soy bean, which was originally the size of a mung bean, was spawned by cassia after several times of crossbreeding, and turned into a soy bean the size of a little fingernail.

Although the size has only been increased a little, for the ancients, the yield of one mu of land was no more than one stone, not even one thousand kilograms.

This was what Cassia thought when he heard Uncle Shi complain about taxes.

Beads can't be eaten or drunk, and you can't rashly spawn a bunch of vegetables to sell for money. It's better to do your best to help everyone improve their lives.

If the bean seeds are raised and the yield per mu is reached, more soybean oil can be squeezed, so that the pressure on the villagers to pay taxes will be less.

Cassia has planted the improved soybeans several times, and there is no sign of decline. She safely puts away the soybean seeds and records the hybridization data of soybeans in the notebook.

Now that we have the bean seeds, how can we give them to others?

Caesar rubbing the beads, looking at Panshan, suddenly thought of a good idea.
