The prince of buns

Jian Yunchen didn't come out during breakfast the next day, so Qi Muwen asked with concern: "Brother Jian doesn't eat breakfast?"

Qi Mu'an grinned, brother will tell you that that bastard indulged too much last night, and today his back is sore and he can't get out of bed today, did brother bring breakfast to the bed to feed the old man before he came out?Forget it, let's save some face for our people's soldiers.Or... Let's save some face for the evil young man in the capital—me!

So he took a big bite out of a delicious and hot fresh meat bun and said nonchalantly: "What about him? Didn't I just drink two more glasses yesterday and go back to the house to chatter endlessly, so let me lose my temper now If it wasn't for his stomach, I would have given him two old punches a long time ago!"

Qi Muwen was very happy when he heard it. When Jian Yunchen fell and almost had a miscarriage, his brother was anxious. He wished he could kill his mother on the spot. At that time, he was still worried that the two enemies were really in love. , when the time comes, the Jian family will also focus on supporting him, then it will be troublesome!

It seems that even a stunning beauty like Jian Yunchen is only three days old in his arms. Once the freshness wears off, he becomes impatient. No matter how nervous he is, he is just a nervous child.

This is more like his personality, isn't he just a ruthless, useless waste!

It's just that no matter how stupid people are, they understand the importance of the eldest grandson.

It seems that I have overestimated him recently, and I don't have to ask for trouble.

How could Qi Mu'an fail to see that he was thinking carefully, just ignored him, and filled a bowl of porridge with wild vegetables and shredded mushrooms to himself. The fragrance has already rushed to the face, and three or two bites have solved everything completely.

Seeing that both of them had almost eaten, Xu Sanlang, who had been waiting by the side for a long time, began to introduce the itinerary to them today. He walked to the two villages outside the south gate in the morning, and had lunch in the village. He thought of the ready-made fat chicken and duck, fresh fish and live shrimps, seasonal vegetables on the farm, there are all kinds of game, such as wild rabbits and wild quail hunted in the nearby mountains, it is rare for the two masters to come to the countryside, and When it is often a local host.

After hearing this, Qi Muwen clapped his hands enthusiastically and praised: "Sanlang is really careful. We stayed in the mansion all day, thinking about having fresh wild vegetables and wild game to eat! The dried beans and meat sent up by your village, Our master loves to eat it very much, and even I love to serve it with porridge."

Qi Mu'an couldn't help squinting, Ruan's mother and son love ostentation, it's not expensive, it's not good to eat, when did they like to eat wild vegetables, unless Xu Sanlang himself is included in the game, right?

Thinking about it, he involuntarily brought out a half-smile expression, then Xu Sanlang thought that he had some unreasonable thoughts about him when he saw it, and when he was angry, his eyes turned red and he refused to say anything, Qi Muwen saw it The opportunity for the hero to protect the beauty came, and he hurriedly swept him behind him and said, "Brother, what do you mean, did you not wake up from the alcohol last night?"

Qi Mu'an simply threw away the chopsticks in his hand, "It's not too long-winded to grind your teeth early in the morning. Walk around and go wherever you want. Let's go back early after finishing our work. Who wants to stay in this boring country place?" !"

After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and left without looking at the two of them. Although Xu Sanlang was born as a slave, his father Xu Laosan was rich and powerful in the local area. Praise him like a phoenix egg, how could he bear a bit of anger, now seeing Qi Muan not paying attention to him like this and always sneering at him, how can he bear it, the only thing is that he didn't lose the golden beans on the spot.

Fortunately, there was such a gentle and kind person like Qi Muwen, and the people who led him walked all the way to comfort him, and it was only a short distance from the dining room to the gate.

The first Zhuangzi is the smallest and most inconspicuous family. There are only a dozen or so people in charge and tenants in total. A group of people just passed by in a hurry. The second Zhuangzi has a good view of the mountains and rivers, which is a bit attractive. Rice Shannon Fun.

Because it is rare for the master in Beijing to come here, besides Xu Laosan and Xu Sanlang, several old people in this village also entered the house to kowtow to say hello, outside there was a crowd of tenant farmers standing in the yard, Qi Mu'an took rough Looking out of the corner of the eye, there were probably 50 or [-] people.

Seeing that Qi Muwen was curious, Xu Laosan laughed along with him and said, "Master, those mud-legged rough people who farm land for the family, sweaty and vulgar, and can't speak, why don't you ask them to give the master a hand outside?" Kowtow and leave, shall we?"

In previous years, even if Master Qi came down, he would always be like this. Those who are really used to enjoying the blessings above would not want to deal with those disgraced farmers.

Therefore, he was certain that Qi Mu'an would not object, didn't he just hate the country and would not want to stay?

Unexpectedly, he touched his chin excitedly, "Where can it be? The master asked us to come down and take a look, isn't it just to see them? Don't you see your old face? You planted such a large farm by yourself. ? The so-called water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it, we have to take these mud legs seriously! Go, let them come in one by one, I will see them all!"

Xu Laosan didn't expect that the old man who usually talks in a hurry would suddenly speak serious words, he was unprepared for a while, and thought that if he knew it earlier, he could teach them how to speak first, so he called them in now, just in case Who can say a word or two that cannot be heard by the two brothers, what should they do?

So he just looked at Qi Muwen in embarrassment.

Qi Muwen himself has benefited from this every year, so he naturally knows that many things are shady, and he doesn't want Qi Muan to take care of him too much, so he persuades him with nice words, "Brother, look at those people, which one is there?" It’s not that it’s dirty and smelly, and some have sores on their bodies! Tell them to come into the house one by one, so that you don’t get smoked!”

What he said made Xu Sanlang who was standing behind him stunned. Seeing that he had no airs, he didn't expect him to look down on the peasants so much.

If Qi Mu'an could do what he wanted, would he still be called a little overlord?

Immediately raised his eyebrows, "Fart! Then why don't you dislike the rice they grow and the vegetables they grow? Stop talking nonsense and get things done sooner, so everyone can worry less!"

Qi Muwen was speechless for a moment after being sprayed by him, Xu Laosan had no choice but to wink at Uncle Zhang, who was in charge of the village.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly left, presumably having given instructions to everyone, and brought in a thin, black tenant farmer who was about forty years old after a while.

These tenant farmers were usually scared to death when they saw Xu Laosan, but now seeing Xu Laosan nodding and bowing respectfully to these two handsome young men, they wondered if they were from the emperor's family, right?

I was so scared that I was trembling even when I walked, I just remembered what old man Sun told them just now, just kowtow to the master and say hello to the master, if you don't know anything else, just ask and don't know.

So trembling, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, then fell down on the ground and dared not get up or make a sound.

Qi Mu'an expected this to be the case, Xu Laosan's calculations were smart, and he was not a fool, he didn't expect to get anything out of these poor people.

What he wants is to let his good second brother and this old slave surnamed Xu mess around first, so that it will look good!

So I just asked a few words casually what is your name, how old is this year, and how many people are there in the family, then I started to turn the conversation to Xu Laosan.

"Uncle Xu, my wife is going to give me a son at the end of the year. I always think that I should do some good deeds to accumulate blessings for their father and son. You have only suffered a famine here. It must be difficult this year. Look at this man's yellow and emaciated face. . Otherwise, I will reward them some money with my own money, what do you think?"

Xu Laosan said in his heart that it was your own pleasure to be taken advantage of, why should I not be happy?

So he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "The old man is kind-hearted and compassionate to the poor, and the little ones don't dare to stop the old man from doing good and accumulating virtue, so I can only thank the old man for them first!"

Qi Mu'an chuckled, and said in his heart that it's not too late to thank me after I finish speaking.

So he frowned again as if embarrassed and said: "But since ancient times, it has been said that rewards are based on merit, and rewards are based on merit. If everyone rewards the same, wouldn't it make those who are the hardest and most willing to work sink? Heart? And let that lazy person be satisfied, it must be possible!"

Qi Muwen got a little impatient with his nagging, and hurriedly asked: "Then how should the reward be fair in my opinion?"

Qi Muan looked like he was racking his brains in deep thought, and after a while he clapped his hands vigorously, "Yes! Let's see how much rent they paid last year! Liufu! Bring the purse, let's do the math, how much did you pay?" For food, we will reward him as much."

Liufu hurriedly moved out the money bag that he had prepared early in the morning. Seeing that Qi Muan was waiting, the tenant farmer didn't know if it was a good thing from heaven or if the rich man was playing tricks on him. The people who came out of the mansion lied, and hurriedly and tremblingly reported the number according to the facts.

Qi Mu'an nodded, and took a look at Liufu. Liufu hurriedly took out a handful of money and handed it to the tenant farmer himself.

"Our grandfather rewarded it. This elder brother took it away, and went out to tell everyone that as long as it is working in our village, it will be rewarded when it comes."

The tenant farmer was overjoyed and overjoyed when he got these rewards for nothing, and hurriedly kowtowed a few more times before leaving, and when he went outside, he said, who wouldn't want to get some benefits?

So not only all the people present were eagerly waiting to enter the house to say hello, but they also asked people to go out to report the news, and called the relatives and friends who were working in the fields and didn't plan to come in, and the small courtyard that was already busy for a while It just got more crowded and noisier.

Xu Laosan originally thought that it was boring for the eldest son to burn his pockets with too much money, but he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it until he noticed that if he didn't finish sending out a person, the six blessings would be written down in a small book. The number of people under the order and the number of rice grains handed over, this way, I was shocked into a cold sweat all at once.

How do they usually draw money from the tribute to the Hou Mansion?

On the one hand, the number of people was reported to be less, and the harvest was reported to be lower.

But everyone knows that tenant farmers are honest and timid. They dare not lie to people with high status.

Therefore, the numbers reported by them are also very easy to be believed.

After Qi Mu'an rewarded a Zhuangzi in this way, he could calculate the actual harvest of this place, and if he did the same for the other houses, the actual harvest of his Tongzhou area would also come out.

In this way, he can find that there is no famine at all here, and the harvest is not bad, when the time comes...

Therefore, he didn't care whether he should or should not, so he hurriedly pulled Qi Muwen aside and whispered in his ear.

Qi Muwen was also startled when he heard it at first, but seeing Qi Muan's foolish way of shaking his head, he couldn't help but wonder again, just by him, can he have such a brain!

So he leaned over and asked him half-truthfully, "Brother, it's just a little more reward, and it's worth writing it down? Look at you for being stingy!"

Qi Mu'an hurriedly dragged him to front of him and whispered in a low voice: "Shhh - let me tell you, you just pretend you don't know! Didn't the princess send me to rebuild the garden in the mansion? I haven't Go get the silver, go back and go up there to get the money back!"

Qi Muwen laughed when he heard that, it turned out that this guy didn't intend to check the accounts, but he wanted to fake and generous to take advantage of the public!

Seeing him smile, Qi Mu'an gave him a vicious look, "Smile, of course it doesn't cost you to eat and drink at home. We live alone now, but we have to spend money everywhere!"

These words can be regarded as completely reassuring Qi Muwen's heart, and he no longer cares about whether he keeps the accounts, but Xu Lao San is still very guilty after all, holding a cold sweat to accompany the play, and pushing at lunch Suddenly I had a headache and couldn't come out to accompany me.

It was even more lively at night, and the local magistrate Mr. Zhou hosted a banquet in the mansion to clean up the dust for the two young masters of Qi.

Qi Mu'an didn't want to go at first, but he had done what he was supposed to do anyway, now it's up to Xu Lao San how courageous he is and how calm he is, but Qi Muwen has been detained by Mrs. Ruan for a long time, and whenever he has a chance He couldn't help but go after eating and drinking outside, so he sent Jiujin to invite him over and over again, and he was so annoyed that he had no choice but to follow.

Since Jian Yunchen was the only one at home, Xu Laosan still sent his youngest son over to accompany him after dinner.

Xu Sanlang didn't want to at first, so he had to go in awkwardly. Who knew that he heard Liu Fu talking to Jian Yunchen when he got to the door.

"The uncle said that the second master really has a way. I taught him some generous tricks to reward people. He cleared the account without any effort. I will tell the master later. See if the old fox surnamed Xu is still there." What to say."

Followed by Jian Yunchen's lukewarm voice, "Your second master has always been a good person, and you instigated your mindless uncle to do something like this to offend others. In the end, Xu Laosan suffered a loss and has to bear a grudge against us. "

Xu Sanlang couldn't hold his breath when he heard this, he immediately stepped back with light steps, making sure that no one inside noticed, and then hurried home to find his father.

Here Liufu looked at his young master with admiration, a person who knows martial arts is amazing!You can hear someone coming from a long distance, and who is coming, otherwise this good show is really difficult to perform.

It's too early, the little girl can't hear it, it's too late, the little girl has already walked in!
