[Qing Chuan] Five elder brothers intermittent salted fish

Although it was already a cool autumn day, but the sun was still warm at noon when the sun shone on his body. Standing on the ridge of the field, Jin Fu held the sleeves at his wrists and rolled up the hem of his gown in his belt.He was supposed to be an official and lord above the temple. Instead of looking like a scholar, his hands were full of calluses, like an old farmer farming.

"Master Jin, don't come down here! How dirty this place is! It's full of mud, your clothes must be expensive, don't get dirty!" The old man with a sickle in his hand straightened up slightly tremblingly, Day after day and decades of bending over for such a long time, they can't even feel the pain, it's just numbness to them.

As soon as the old man spoke, everyone in the field echoed:

"Yes, Master Jin! Old Wangtou is right!"

"Yeah~ Don't get dirty!"

"This work is very tiring, don't tire you out!"

It is strange to say that all the peasants in the field are very close to Mr. Jin Fu, who is the governor of one side, and they speak casually as if they are ordinary neighbors. official restraint.

Jin Fu took off the melon skin cap on his head, feeling a little sour for some reason. The gown he was wearing was just a very ordinary cotton material, it was really not a good material, and it was not as good as the satin of those honorable children. But even this cotton material, which is very ordinary in his opinion, is already an unattainable expensive material in the hearts of the people in the field.

Can such a day be called a good one?

Although Jin Fu was having a hard time in his heart, he still smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I've been doing these jobs since I was a child, and besides, it's just cutting wheat, how can it be considered dirty? If it's dirty, my legs are also there. Wade in the turbid and churning water of the Yellow River."

As he spoke, he handed over all the valuable clothes he carried with him to the boy, picked up the sickle, and went down to the ground without saying a word. He was in the endless wheat field, and his nose was filled with the smell of ripe autumn fruits. There should have been a good harvest this year with plenty of rain.

However, the recent increase in locusts has made these happy farmers feel melancholy.They were so exhausted that they waited for half a year. They saw that the crops of wheat were so ripe that they were just waiting to be harvested, but now they said that locusts were coming.

How many farmers are not afraid of locusts?Once the savage locusts come to this land, the endless ears of wheat will be eaten up in less than a day, and the whole year will be full of people who get up early and return late to serve. Abandoned.

Thinking of this, the old man in the field sighed and said: "It's really hard to say these days. Two days ago, I told the old woman at home that if I collected this year's grain, I could sell another pig to support my little grandson. I went to study for a year. But how could I have thought...the locusts are here at this time? Hey...if the money is not enough, my little grandson will not be able to study again this year.

If you don't study, what's the future? Just like us old men, plowing the fields and selling your strength!Oops~ If I can become a parent officer like you, Mr. Jin Fu after studying, my ancestral grave will be smoked!Hahahahaha..."

When the old man mentioned that his little grandson was going to be an official, he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and he no longer hid his teeth that were stained black from smoking too much tobacco.

"That's not right! We've been busy day and night for a whole year, so we're looking forward to today's season, and now we're so upset! Master Jin, if we don't catch up with the locusts, we'll harvest all the wheat What can I do?"

The sturdy dark man on the right also answered, and even smiled embarrassedly when he said this, "Speaking of which, I still want to rely on this year's harvest so that I can marry a wife!"

As soon as the man said these words, the peasants in the field who were busy with the boring work of harvesting wheat laughed one by one. For them, this is life.It's not about officials worshiping princes, nor about fighting on the battlefield.

Just ask for a daughter-in-law, children, children and grandchildren, and it will be another year if you have enough food and clothing!

Jin Fu wrapped the braid hanging around his neck to the back of his neck, and then said with a hearty smile: "There will be, let's hold on tight and even if there is a loss, it won't be too much loss. Fortunately, I discovered it early. Let's all prepare earlier, don't take it lightly."

As he spoke, Jin Fu raised his head and looked at the young strong men walking in the field with torches in the distance.He nodded and said: "Don't break this torch day and night, if the locusts come suddenly, it will be helpful anyway, so that Monk Zhang Er can't figure it out!"

As soon as Jin Fu's voice fell, the dark man asked again: "Master Jin, apart from our side with you and Master Li helping us, what about the other fields in the suburbs of Beijing? And the land in the north? Those are also They are all ordinary peasants like us, we can't just get cheap and act good!"

As soon as the man's words came out, everyone echoed them frequently.

For a moment, even Jin Fu couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional, it's just that these simple peasants can't take care of themselves and think about other poor people. If there are so many officials and eunuchs in the government and the opposition, it's enough to keep their own boat, no matter what Others are frozen in the wind and snow!

"Didn't Master Li go to the palace to meet the Holy One last night? Thinking about it, the morning court will soon be over, and Long Live Lord must have made a decision."

-

Yin Qi rested his chin, he was sitting by the window and wanted to sleep under the warmth of the autumn sun, not to mention that he and Yin Zhen were the only ones in the study room today.

The eldest elder brother is still kneeling in the yard, and the crown prince has been banned for half a month from leaving the gate of Yuqing Palace. In addition, the third elder brother who started to "sick" last night, is on time this morning. He and the fourth elder brother are the only ones who come to the study room!

Even Master Wang, who was sitting on the top, was in a daze. God knows that the little eunuch in the palace brought a token and approached the palace just as he lay down last night. He was so anxious that he was sweating. Long live Lord asked what to say about the incident of falling the inkstone yesterday, and he was always in a state of anxiety. How could he know that Long Live Lord completely forgot about him until the middle of the night.

Master Wang can still understand, after all, Lord Mingzhu, Lord Suo'etu and Lord Li Jinqing entered the palace together late at night, there must be some serious matter, and it is normal not to take care of him.

It's just that although he can't take care of him, he can't sleep soundly, and he is always worried that if the Long Live Lord suddenly remembers to summon him, he won't be disheveled.After staying up all night, I didn't sleep well, and the Long Live Lord didn't summon me.

In the early morning of the next day, there was another order saying that he should take the class of Mr. Li Jinqing today, at the end of the day, but he didn't sleep all night and he was too old to survive.The sun slipped in through the paper window, and it was so warm that people felt lazy and unconsciously fell asleep.

This is a good time, a master Wang is blatantly dozing off on the front stage, and a little Yinqi is sneaking against the wall to doze off, leaving Yinzhen to study and practice calligraphy by himself.

Even the little eunuch standing outside admired the fourth elder brother's self-control. If it was another child from another family, not to mention laziness and dozing off with him, it would be common to take advantage of this time to sneak out to play.

Today's rare quietness is really in line with the autumn scene. The ginkgo leaves by the window have turned yellow, and the red wall and black eaves are covered with the blue water in the sky. It seems that the whole day passes slowly. down.The twittering sparrow had a beautiful sparrow tail, and the little fat cat, who came from nowhere, stared at it, and climbed to the top of the tree by climbing the branch.

The little fat raccoon cat jumped up and flew up into the sky when it was startled. It lingered on the eaves with a meow, and if it couldn't get off, the little fat raccoon cat wasn't in a hurry either. With his tail crossed, he lay on the eaves and sunned himself in the sun.

Occasionally, there would be a small cool breeze passing through the verandah, sweeping across the courtyard and blowing towards the face, Yinzhen just raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes relaxed.He looked straight at the raccoon little fat cat, after all, he was still a child, and regardless of whether the cat paid attention to him, he raised his head first, which was a bit funny to the cat.

"Director Liang! Why are you here?" The little eunuch standing outside with a wink suddenly spoke loudly, interrupting this picture of leisure in autumn.

Yinzhen turned his head back in an instant, so guilty that he held the brush but didn't dare to look out.Yin Qi fell asleep after a light nap at such a young age, and immediately woke up after hearing the sound.

Only Mr. Wang, not to mention his age, stayed up all night last night. The snoring was so loud that even Liang Jiugong who was standing outside could hear it.He also knew that the little eunuch at the door intended to remind Master Wang inside, so he didn't blame the inexplicable loudness, but instead smiled and said: "You boy is very alert!"

The little eunuch bent over, took the opportunity to glance at Master Wang who was still asleep in the door, couldn't help curling his lips and muttering to himself, no matter how alert he is, what's the use of being alert, Master Wang is still asleep!He was also caught by Director Liang.

Director Liang deliberately cleared his throat, and before he could say anything, the fourth elder brother stood up and said loudly: "Eunuch Liang, we haven't finished school yet! What are you doing here at this time today?"

The sound of "Eunuch Liang", what a guy... almost scared Master Wang to the ground from the stool. Master Wang was completely awake this time, and when he saw the smiling Chief Eunuch Liang Jiugong in front of him, he couldn't help asking back in a daze : "Yes! What is Director Liang doing here?"

Liang Jiugong saluted respectfully, and just now the three of them were doing their own business as if they hadn't seen them, and he didn't say a word of extraneous words, as if he came in and saw a pair of master Wang preaching and teaching, four elder brothers five elder brothers Brother respects the teacher and respects the appearance of diligent study.

"Master Wang, according to the will of Long Live Lord, after the court meeting, you and fifth elder brother are asked to go to the South Study Room."

Master Wang: "South study?"

Yinqi: "South study?"

Master Wang and Yinqi said it almost in unison, each of them was wondering why the emperor asked them to go to the South Study, but left Yinzhen alone.

But Yinzhen sat on the seat very calmly, not only not curious why Khan Ama didn't want him to go, but also rejoicing that this matter has nothing to do with him.He turned his head slightly and looked out of the window again, but the little fat cat that was nesting on the eaves was now empty.
