Pick up a dragon cub to farm

A few days later, Wen Yuren's family packed up their belongings and moved to a village a few miles away from Cangcheng with the villagers under the leadership of the court officials.

In the previous Langya Beast Rebellion, not only Xizhuang, but also Beizhuang and Chaihuo Village next to Fengjian Town suffered a lot of losses. The farmland was trampled by fierce beasts and could not be cultivated, and the farmers were worried.

But the prince gave an order, and the subordinate officials attached great importance to it, and the relocation was done in a hurry.In less than half a month, all farmers who lost their land were relocated to new villages.

Although he promised the crown prince to assist him in Taoist affairs, after careful consideration, Wen Yuren decided not to hold a specific official position in order to avoid being too involved, but to handle various affairs as an intermediary between the government and the private Taoist sect.He also declined the prince's intention to build a luxurious mansion specially for him, and only moved into the new village with other villagers.

This new home is called Ye Cuizhuang.

Wen Yuren's family quickly built a house, which was still a two-story building and had a large yard.Next to their home is Xiaoqi and his mother's home, which is convenient for the two families to move around.

There is also a large garden behind Wen Yuren's house, which is the same as the layout in Xizhuang before, and there is also a hill behind the vegetable garden.If Bei Yan wants to reveal his true form, he can rest his huge body on the top of the mountain and swing his long tail freely without worrying about hitting the house or the courtyard wall.

In addition to settling in a new house like other villagers, Nan Guo also received an additional [-] mu of fertile land from the prince.In fact, the prince originally wanted to reward more, but Nan Guo was worried that he would not be able to take care of such a large field, so he declined his kindness and gave the rest of the land to the other villagers in Ye Cuizhuang.In this way, not only do you not have to spend time on taking care of a large amount of land, but you also earn an extra favor among the villagers.

After completely settled down, Nan Vortex started to take care of his new field.

In Xizhuang before, he had a limited area of ​​fields, and the conditions of light and water sources were not good. Many ideas could only be thought about, but there was no way to realize them.Now that there are [-] mu of land all of a sudden, and they are all fertile fields, Nanvortex can finally let go and try more.

Fruit fields, flower fields, fish ponds.

Nan Guo's family did not abandon everything when they came out of Xizhuang.Many fruits and flower seeds that have not been contaminated by animal poisons have been carefully preserved and planted directly in the new fields; some detours taken when farming in Xizhuang before are now transformed into experience and flexibly used in the new fields .

In addition, Nanvortex also summoned friends to dig fish ponds and transferred small fish, shells and lobsters to new ponds.There is a big river near Ye Cuizhuang, and there is no need to worry about catching all kinds of fresh fish in the river, but you may not always be able to catch specific types of crayfish.After moving to the new village, Nanvort also adjusted the proportion of fish and shrimp in the pond, increasing the number of shrimp and crab.

Watching the pond full of shrimps and crabs swimming in the clear water with silky water plants, even stacking one on top of the other, this kind of satisfaction is really unparalleled.

Wen Yuren agreed to assist the prince in Daoist affairs, but he did not take a serious official position in the court, but coordinated various affairs of the folk Daoist sect as a disciple of the prince.As a result, he naturally didn't have much time to take care of the flower fields.

But because Wen Yuren likes flowers, Nan Zuo also reserved an open space for him in his own field, where he planted some of his favorite flowers.

After the new field is finished, the next step is to open the store.

The prince ordered people to find an open space in the downtown center of the imperial capital, and did some simple decoration, so that Nanwo had a place to open a shop.From then on, Nanwo's fresh fruits and snacks can be easily sold throughout Cangcheng, and even the rich and powerful or the children of the royal family will come to buy them.These wealthy families are the most willing to buy food, and they often place a long list of orders when they encounter something that suits their taste, or ask people to come to make it on the spot and eat it right away.

As for the small shop in Fengjian Town, Nan Zuo did not give up.After all, it was his first business place, and the residents of Fengjian Town were also very supportive of his fresh fruits and snacks.So, he simply opened the small shop in Fengjian Town and hired two guys to run it there.Anyway, Cangcheng is only more than 30 miles away from Fengjian Town, so the food is kept fresh by using ice mouse's icy air, and it is enough to deliver goods to the town every five or six days.

Under the careful management of Nanvortex, the newly opened fresh taste business is also booming, attracting many residents of Cangcheng to taste it, and its reputation spreads far and wide.Seeing that his business is doing so well, it turned out that some villagers in Xizhuang also offered to follow him and became shop assistants.In this way, Nanwo will not be so busy running between the shop and the field, and has some free time.

Xiaoqi's grilled fish shop has also moved to the town.Since there is a Qing River next to Cangcheng, there are many fresh fish in the river, and Xiaoqi's fishing has become easier than before.After going to the river to catch fish every few days, I keep them in my small pond. Most of the time I stay in the small shop "Fish is Really Fragrant" in the city, lighting a fire to roast all kinds of fish.

Next to Yu Zhenxiang is Bei Yan's beast barbecue stall.Ever since the barbecue was distributed for free in Fengjian Town, the Candle Dragon Brand Beast Barbecue became famous in the first battle. Even the rich and powerful in Cangcheng couldn't hold back their curiosity and followed suit to try it.

Rich people seem to be much more interested in eating these strange things than the people in the villages and towns, and they are more willing to spend a lot of money to follow new tastes and try delicious things.

Although Langya Diyuan was successfully sealed, there were no more ferocious beasts, but there were still some ferocious beasts sprang out from the north. Of course, Zhulong took good care of them and made them into skewers for sale in the night market.

Nan Zuo and his companions lived a comfortable and comfortable life, and Wen Yuren's purge of Taoism also went smoothly.

He became famous at a young age, conquered countless demons, and was born as an orthodox practitioner of Qingyun Temple. Even though he has withdrawn from Taoism for two years, his prestige is still the same as before.

In the name of an official ordered by the imperial court, he thoroughly investigated all Taoist temples, shut down unscrupulous medicine shops that peddled fake medicines, and urged various sects to reorganize their style of work, and eliminate those with unhealthy minds or ignorance.

Now Wen Yuren is not only doing things for the prince, but also making contributions to the Taoism he once believed in.I hope that through my modest contributions, we can turn the tide, bring everything back to normal in the Taoist sect, and re-establish prestige in the government and the people, so that practitioners can stick to their original aspirations and practice hard to protect the common people.

Especially in Qingyun Temple, vigorously promote reforms, let those cultivators who follow crooked ways retreat and reflect on themselves, and remove important positions in the sect, and promote those who stick to their hearts, such as Meng Enze, to be the masters of the sect, from top to bottom Thoroughly rectify the ethos of Qingyun Temple and urge them to work hard to bear the accusations of the former Qingguo No. [-] Taoist Temple.

After half a year of hard work, Wen Yuren's actions have achieved obvious results, and the crown prince has also regained power step by step from the powerful national teacher, and established his supreme prestige in Qingguo.The Taoist chaos gradually subsided, and Wen Yuren immediately retired, and declined the crown prince's reward and invitations from various celebrities. He just wanted to find peace and live in Ye Cuizhuang for a long time.

Planting flowers and raising chickens and ducks every day, helping hands in Nanwo's shop every now and then, or cooking soup and medicine with Uncle Feng under the shade of a tree, chatting with villagers.At night, I built a bamboo bed with Nan Dio to sleep in the yard, and lay side by side to watch the stars in the sky.Such a day of idle clouds and wild cranes is really very comfortable.

Wen Yuren felt that this was the life he wanted.

Nan Zuo and Feng Bo—the two people he cares most about in this world, they are all by his side and live with him. To him, they are more charming than all kinds of struggles for power and power in the court. Fairy days.

Nanvortex would never leave him.

=====

In the summer of Qingyuan 23, Nan Zuo was busy in the shop when he suddenly saw a familiar green wooden carriage parked in front of the door.The guards stood neatly in two rows and stepped out of the car facing the noble master on the chariot.

Nan Guo put down the work in his hand, hurried forward and saluted: "His Royal Highness." He immediately asked Xiao Wu to bring the best fresh fruit in the store to entertain the prince.

The prince smiled, "I want to have a cup of tea."

The young man scratched his hair, rolled his eyes, and smiled, "Yes, there is the latest fruit tea, and I'll ask them to prepare it. Your Highness, please."

Nan Zuo took the prince into the private room inside the small shop.He originally didn't want to open a private room in Xianzhiwei, but later he discovered that the customers in Cangcheng are different from the residents of the small town. Three or five find a place to sit and chat while eating.Nanzuo built some single rooms on the second floor of Xianzhiwei for the leisurely and elegant guests to spend their time here.

After the prince sat down, he waved his hand and let the attendants go out.He saw that the transparent dragon crystal stone on Nan Zuo's neck had been nourished by his own aura and became translucent. He couldn't help asking, "Is it comfortable to wear the dragon crystal stone?"

"Very good, Your Highness. Wearing it, Ben Long can easily stabilize his aura and maintain his human form for a long time." Nan Voo grinned, his blue eyes were crooked, very cute.

Not long after, two cups of freshly made fruit tea were served.Nan Guo carefully held one of the cups in front of the prince, the prince was used to being served, but at this moment he stretched out his hand to take it.

Nan Zuo didn't expect this move, and accidentally touched his hand, and felt his well-maintained skin lightly touch his fingertips, his heart was startled, and his hands trembled.

The prince held the cup of fruit tea in time and smiled at Nanchoo.

"Sorry, Your Highness. Ben Long missed for a while..."

"nothing."

There was a moment of silence in the private room.Nan Zuo sat back to his original place, and for some reason, a strange feeling arose in his heart.He felt that the prince was staring at him quietly. He didn't know where to look, so he tightened his awkward hands and lowered his gaze.

The prince suddenly said: "Why, don't you dare to look at me?" When the young man was stunned, he only heard the prince say: "Your pair of blue eyes, I have never seen before in Qingguo. You should see more of such pure eyes. This king is."

Nan Zuo stared at him blankly, not understanding the meaning of his words.The prince asked, "Why didn't you even say anything?"

Nan Nuo murmured softly: "Benlong... Benlong doesn't know what to say." He didn't expect the prince to ask him to talk alone in the private room, and he would say these things.The white fingers were clasped together, and there was a hint of sadness between the boy's brows and eyes.

The prince saw it, but found it very interesting.He looked Nan Zuo's face up and down, and saw that the young man's handsome face was a little childish, but it was much more interesting than those concubines who were ostentatious in his house.

"Nanzuo, go live in this prince's mansion."

The boy was puzzled and tilted his head.He vaguely felt that the prince was not as simple as inviting himself to the palace as a guest, so he felt cramped and couldn't help looking around.

Facing a character like the prince, Nan Zuo really couldn't handle it.At this moment, he really hoped that Wen Yuren would suddenly appear by his side, to give him courage to make a rescue.

The prince saw his panic, and simply said: "If you are willing to enter the palace, this king will give you a decent position, so that you can live in the mansion justifiably. As for fresh taste, this king will order someone to do it for you. Take care, if you want to take a look, you can come back a few days a month, and all the income from the store belongs to you. How about it?"

Hearing this, Nan Zuo was stunned and blushed.

"Your Highness, you...you mean, let Benlong do, do, do your..."

"That's right, I want you to be my concubine and live in the palace with me. Are you willing?"

Nan Vortex was astonished, and immediately screamed out. "Prince, this, this... Benlong is in Ye Cuizhuang, and my two, Benlong..." Countless pictures flooded into my mind for a while, Nan Zuo stuttered and spoke incoherently, and even forgot what he wanted to say .

The crown prince shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Nan Zuo, you don't have to think about everything else. This king is asking you something, and you can just tell the truth according to your inner thoughts."

His words awakened Nan Zuo.Dong Jue thought to himself, Nan Zuo almost blurted out: "Ben Long won't go to the palace!"

The two of them were taken aback at the same time, and then Nan Guo realized that he seemed too abrupt, and said in a low voice urgently: "Ben Long can't go to the palace, Ben Long..." He boldly looked directly at the prince, "Ben Long is in Ye Cuizhuang. , and there are people to take care of!"

"Wen Yuren?"

The young man Zhu Hong's lips trembled slightly after being told in one sentence, but he took a deep breath, and his chaotic mood gradually calmed down.

After being confirmed by the prince, it seemed that the last trace of pressure in his heart was relieved.Nanvortex unexpectedly felt relaxed.

He nodded seriously, "Well, Ben Long also has Wen Yuren." The only person Ben Long likes is Wen Yuren...

The prince was not angry at all, but said: "This king can also see that you stay with him all day long. Wen Yuren has no desire for power, and the only thing he wants is to end the chaos of the Taoist sect and return to the small village with you." Live. But Nanzuo... To Wen Yuren, are you a lover you can rely on, or a little dragon cub who needs to be taken care of. Have you ever thought about it?"

Nan Zuo's body shook violently, and he stared blankly at him.

The prince drank the fruit tea slowly, and stopped asking Nanvort for an answer, but got up and left.Nan Guo followed behind him, sent him out in a trance, then walked back to the shop as if lost his soul, and locked himself in the empty room alone.

The prince's last question kept echoing in his mind.That's right, he is just a little dragon cub, Wen Yuren took care of him, raised him, even kissed him, and slept with him in his arms, but——he never personally said he liked him.

Nan Zuo spent the whole day at the store in a daze, listless.Xiao Wu didn't know why he saw it, so he just thought that his little boss was too tired and in a bad mood, so he took the initiative to take over the work and let him go home early.

Wen Yuren was feeding the chickens with a bowl of rice bran in the backyard.Seeing Nan Zuo coming back staggeringly, but not greeting him happily as usual, he felt strange, so he put down the wooden bowl in his hand and went to the front of the house.

The man saw the young man sitting on a small stool in the yard staring at the sunset in a daze, and went up to touch his head, "Nan Zuo, what's the matter, are you unhappy today?"

Nan Zuo glanced at him with blue eyes, but felt bitterness on his lips.He shook his head slightly and remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wen Yuren guessed that he must have something on his mind, so he went into the room and poured a cup of hot sweet tea for him, and said: "You came back early today, I haven't had time to make dinner yet. Make it tonight Your favorite hash browns, and tomato brisket, okay?"

Nan Zuo looked at him, and for no reason remembered what the prince had said.He suddenly said, "Second, the prince came to look for Benlong today."

"Prince? Why did he come to you?"

Nan Guo himself had a slight sense of the crown prince's thoughts on Nan Zuo, but Wen Yuren didn't pay attention.

Nan Guo pursed his lips, unconsciously pressed the dragon spar hanging around his neck, and said in a mysterious way: "The prince asked Ben Long to go to his house as a concubine."

Hearing this, Wen Yuren frowned, and blurted out, "Did you agree?"

Nan Zuo raised his head, and saw a rare nervous look on the man's handsome eyebrows.He knew that Wen Yuren must have his own in his heart, but he also needed to make up his mind to figure out whether Wen Yuren treated him as a pet dragon that needed to be taken care of, or...

Or as the prince said, a lover you can rely on.

Nan Zuo lowered his eyes, "Second, do you think Ben Long should agree?"

For a quarter of an hour, Wen Yuren stared at the blue-eyed boy steadfastly, without saying a word, but with mixed emotions in his heart.He knew his answer the moment he saw Nan Zuo's expression, but he chose to hide his thoughts all the time, not as decisive and brave as a little dragon cub.

The man closed his eyes.Under Nan Zuo's nervous gaze, he stepped forward and hugged him.

"Nanzuo, I won't let you go."

Nan Zuo raised his head in surprise, and then saw Wen Yuren's handsome face close at hand, and could even hear his breath clearly.

"You are the only one I like. No matter if the prince or whoever wants to take you away, I will not agree."

"Because I like...I love you."

Once the man who is used to forbearance opens his mouth, the truth can't be stopped.Even Wen Yuren himself didn't know that when he was always not good at speaking, he also became eloquent when expressing his feelings.

He saw Nan Zuo's watery blue eyes suddenly widen after hearing this, and his handsome face was instantly filled with a beaming smile.

"My two, my two!" Nan Guo threw himself into Wen Yuren's arms, buried in his heart, unwilling to separate, and kept saying one sentence after another in a soft voice, "Benlong also likes Wuer, Benlong wants to I've heard Wu Er say this for a long time! Benlong doesn't want a prince, Benlong only wants Wu Er..."

"I'm sorry Nanzuo." Wen Yuren gently kissed his forehead, "I...it's too late."

Dragons have a long lifespan, but humans only have decades.

Decades, a lifetime.Wen Yuren hugged Nan Zuo.

They want to love each other year after year, love for a lifetime.
