dressed as a scholar

After the new funeral, we transplanted two golden osmanthus trees in front of the courtyard. When we first planted them, the leaves would wither and turn yellow. In summer, Qiao He’s branches were watered every day. This year, after autumn, the trees came alive in one fell swoop. The leaves were so green that they were full of trees. floral.

Qiao Hezhi picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus with a densely woven small shaukei. The golden osmanthus is fragrant and blooms a lot. He plans to collect the flowers to make some sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes. At that time, he will make sweet-scented osmanthus sauce with long glutinous rice and raisins Do it, it must taste great.

Last year, we didn’t plant osmanthus trees at home. I wanted to use osmanthus to make some wine, but when the osmanthus was in season, the family was so busy. By the time I was free, all the osmanthus had been sold out, and the quality of the remaining ones in Lingding was not good. Seeing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus in autumn this year, the first thing he does is to pick sweet-scented osmanthus.

Fang Yu was sorting out the accounts of this year's autumn harvest in the study. Last year, he harvested 47 mu of land. After passing the provincial examination, he was rewarded another 140 mu of land. In addition, he bought Qiao Hezhi [-] mu of land as a gift after he became a scholar. The total land of all of them is [-] mu.

During the first year of his filial piety, he was unable to hold a job or go out to study. The banquets were only for small gatherings of three or two people, and the meals at home were kept simple. It's up and running.

Years ago, all the land hired farmers, and started to build a small village on their own land. Firstly, it was convenient to manage the hired farmers, secondly, it was easy to harvest food in the autumn harvest, and thirdly, the farmhouse could raise some chickens, ducks and poultry.

This year, chickens, ducks and geese started to lay eggs after they grew up. The house ate a lot of fresh eggs, and when the eggs were produced, they made agricultural products such as salted eggs and preserved eggs. They were not sold for sale, but they were quite good as gifts. useful.

Juren does not have to pay taxes on the [-] mu of land, and this year is considered a good year. The Zhuangzi handed over the ledgers one by one, and Fang Yu calculated and found that the net profit this year was more than [-] taels.In fact, the gross profit is far more than that, but this year, more than [-] taels were invested in raising livestock and poultry, digging fish ponds to put fish fry, and more than [-] taels were used to build the Zhuangzi.

The price of building Zhuangzi is far more than this price, but the labor is not spent, all the labor from the farmer's family is used to help build the house, but the wood and tiles for building the house need to be paid by themselves.

Although it is natural for the farm laborers to help their masters, in order to encourage their own farm laborers to serve their masters more actively, when harvesting the crops this time, he will give each farm laborer a share based on the amount of land planted and the harvest of each household. A little food was given as a reward.

Although there was not much food, it was able to win over the farmer's heart. When handing over the food, the manager of Zhuangzi didn't need to ask, but the farmer came to negotiate on his own initiative.

Even with the income from the land, the two salt shops rewarded can earn 200 taels a month. The industries monopolized by the imperial court are the ones that are making money.

Seeing the land production business in his hand and all the income from his own business is enough to maintain his expenses and there is still a surplus, he is also relieved a lot. Now he no longer needs to rely on Xiao Qiao to subsidize his family. The serf stood up and sang.

He closed the ledger, turned his head and saw the people outside the window picking the sweet-scented osmanthus from the tree, he smiled, and simply leaned on his elbows to look at the people under the warm sunshine.

Xu Shi felt the fiery gaze, Qiao Hezhi turned around, and saw Fang Yu snickering in front of the study, he said: "Don't come and help me, instead just hide there and watch the fun, do you want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus rice cakes?"

"Eat, how not to eat."

Qiao Hezhi looked at the smiling people and saw that there were already a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus in the Shau Kei, so he handed the Shau Kei to Si Yu, and he walked towards the study: "Let's just hide here, you should go there in two days." The academy reported."

"I really didn't shirk, I just finished looking at the account books." Fang Yu smiled and sighed: "A year flies by in the blink of an eye, no wonder people say that youth is easy to pass away."

Speaking of which, Fang Yu gently picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus that fell on Qiao He's branch: "However, our young master's youth is just right. Although I look at it every day, I suddenly feel that it is much taller today."

"Where is the height? When the two golden osmanthus plants were planted last year, they went to the branch of the tree. This year, they still went to the branch of the tree. I couldn't even pick the sweet-scented osmanthus. Just now the sleeves were rolled up, and the branches scratched my arms." gone."

Fang Yu pulled the man in front of him, and sure enough, he saw a two-inch-long red scratch on Qiao Hezhi's forearm. The scar was very conspicuous under the clean and fair skin. He said distressedly: "Why didn't you tell me earlier, Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, the skin hasn't even broken, it's just a little red and swollen."

"Come on, I remember that there are some wound medicines in the drawer, apply it quickly, it will be bad if it leaves scars."

Fang Yu poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for people to sit down and drink. He rummaged through boxes and chests to find medicine for wounds. After I became proficient at riding a horse, I didn't use it much, and I didn't know where to put my things for a while.

He was thinking about calling Xuezhu to come in and ask, when suddenly there was a thud, he put his hand on the side of the table and pressed a hidden button at the bottom, and then several books fell out on the floor with a clatter.

He often stays in the study, and he has long known that there is a small drawer under the desk. He opened it out of curiosity a long time ago, but there is nothing in it, because the small drawer cannot hold many items and is not convenient to place. It's useless for him to hide things, and he gradually forgot about it.

But why suddenly there are a few more books?

He forgot to find the medicine, and he was about to pick up the book to read, but the book just fell off the pages, and the hand he stretched out froze in place when he buried his head.

"You, why do you put this kind of thing in the study!"

Fang Yu coughed dryly, put the book away, looked at Qiao Hezhi with wide-eyed eyes, and said sincerely, "I didn't put this away."

"Why are you here if you didn't put it?"

"When I came back, I saw that this small drawer was empty. How did I know when there were a few more books?"

Qiao Hezhi's face flushed immediately when he heard the words, earlier he took the book back to the house to look through it, and then Mrs. Chen brought two servants back and had a quarrel, he was annoyed that he still had the heart to read this kind of book, and later He planned to go to Fucheng to find Fang Yu, but forgot about it for a while.

One day after he came back, he flipped through these books on the bed and suddenly remembered that he forgot to return them. Thinking of the rush after returning, Fang Yu must have no time to look at the books in his collection, so he secretly put the books away Going back... I didn't expect to see it again in such a way today, and, he had already discovered that the book was gone!

The more he thought about it, the more flushed his face became. He lowered his eyes and looked at Fang Yu embarrassedly, gritted his teeth and said, "I, how could I know!"

Fang Yu looked at Xiao Qiao's expression and didn't bluntly expose it. With a smirk, he tilted his head and hurried through a few pages of the book, and couldn't help but click his tongue. The content in it is very wild and wanton, such as flowers, vegetable fields, under the moon... the venue is very broad.

He frowned slightly. Back then, because he didn't know much about his little brother, and thinking of the special nature of his wife, in order not to leave a bad "first impression" on each other, he went to a more formal place to buy it. I learned about the booklet about my little brother, and thinking that my husband is also a very well-bred lady, these things are quite satisfactory, but I am afraid that he will not be able to accept it.

Unexpectedly... his way is so wild!

Seeing that he was flipping through the pages in front of him, Qiao Hezhi felt ashamed and indignant, and hurriedly closed the page: "I also saw it here, and only flipped through two pages. It's really not something I hid." of!"

As he said that, he was about to turn around and go out, Fang Yu hurriedly pulled him back: "You really didn't let him go?"

"Of course it's not me!" Qiao Hezhi was furious, his eye circles were red: "If it's me, why don't I leave it to you."

Fang Yu subconsciously thought that it was natural to let it go and hint~ But he didn't dare to say this, he was afraid that he would cry his anger when he opened his mouth, and he would have to sleep in the study. Seeing that the one-year filial piety period has expired, he can't provoke people angry.But after thinking about it, Xiao Qiao probably didn't let it go. He was so shy, even if he wanted to know a thing or two, he wouldn't take such a heavy taste, so he calculated: "It should belong to that person from before."

According to the settings in the book, this kind of pornographic book fits his taste very well.

"Then, that's really not yours?" Seeing that Fang Yu believed what he said, Qiao Hezhi asked him the other way around.

Fang Yu couldn't help laughing, and threw Die Shuangfei aside: "This is a book that men and women like. I think it's also for my little brother. It's not suitable for you and me."

"Whether it fits or not!" Qiao Hezhi's ears were burning hot, and he punched Fang Yu with his fist: "Are you ashamed?"

"I don't say these things to others." Fang Yu whispered in Qiao Hezhi's ear: "You don't need to read these books. Let me tell you, learning on paper is shallow, and theory is not as good as practice."

As Fang Yu pinched him by the waist and carried him to the desk, Qiao Hezhi hugged him around his neck in shock, refused to let go and sat down, and begged for mercy in a low voice, "Don't mess around!"

Fang Yu didn't speak, and there was a fire in the depths of his eyes. He thought that if he got rid of people here today, he would sleep outside for a few days, but before he could do anything, the door of the study was knocked: "My lord, Believe me."

Qiao Hezhi was startled when he heard the sound, and quickly slid down from the desk. Fang Yu knew that he couldn't do anything now, so he locked the man in his arms around the waist and trapped him in the desk. He tilted his head and gave him a long kiss on his rosy lips. give up.

"come in."

It took Xuezhu a long time to be let in, and he was a little relieved when he saw that the two of them were dressed neatly. He waited on Fang Yu every day. He knew how angry his lord was after eating for a year, but he shouldn't be in the study when he thought about it. ... He caught sight of Zhengfu's eyes and mouth, which were a little red in the same way, and suddenly his mind was like fireworks.

Fang Yu took the letter and saw Xue Zhu's expression on Qiao Hezhi's face. Although he was upset that someone interrupted him, he still squeezed Xiao Qiao's hand. He couldn't understand the young master's temper, and bullying him by himself was just a matter of course. When you get angry, if you let others know about this kind of thing, the most polite person doesn't know how long you will have to hold your anger with him.

"Zhengfu's arm was scratched by a tree branch and it hurts badly. Go and find the wound medicine I used earlier."

Xue Zhu let out a sigh of relief: "The wound medicine in the original study was taken away in the house, so I'll go get it for the master."
