Daily Struggle in Ancient Times (Farming)

Chapter 73

  Wei Yun didn't notice it at first, it was because Xiao Shitou accidentally slipped his mouth.

Brother Tong has been raised for a year, and he has become much fairer and more slender, and he has long since lost his timid appearance. Although his personality is still introverted, he is much more lively than before, and finally he has some children. The way it should be.

Wei Yun and Huo Chengcheng cherish him, this child is sensible and sensitive, they don't need to be disciplined too much on weekdays, they mostly focus on pampering him.

Besides, the child has grown up and has his own thoughts, and the two of them don't like to take people seriously, so they don't know when the relationship between the two will get better.

Although the brothers of the Hu family said that they played well with the children in the family, Tong Geer is a brother after all, and his contact with them is limited. The relationship between the two turned out to be quite good, so much so that Hu Jianxian would still leave a letter to Brother Tong.

If it wasn't for Tong Ge'er's limited knowledge of words, he went quietly to ask Wei Xiaodi for advice, and after being heard by Xiao Shitou, he accidentally slipped his mouth, and the family probably wouldn't know about it at all.

Wei Yun's mood suddenly became a little delicate. Although he had thought of matching the two before, he just thought about it casually. The two children are still young, so the future can be said for sure. connected.

"What do you think Jianxian will say to Brother Tong?" Wei Yun thought for a long time, but still couldn't help muttering to Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng's face was as dark as the bottom of an iron pot on the stove, and he said lightly: "A child with no hair, what can I say?"

Wei Yun gave him a dissatisfied look: "You, I have nothing Speaking of which, look at you now, if you don't know, you might think that Brother Tong is going to get married today."

Huo Cheng didn't answer the conversation at all, and just played with Xiao Ping An by himself, exuding an aura of Unpleasant smell.

Wei Yun was amused in his heart, but in the end he felt sorry for him, so he didn't get irritated anymore. Instead, he asked, "Do you know what the brothers of the Hu family said to King Hui, and why they left with King Hui? They are so young, can they What are you doing?"

Huo Cheng thought about the behavior of the two brothers, but he couldn't figure it out, but he had a vague premonition that it would not be easy for the two brothers to leave.

Wei Yun also knew that he couldn't ask anything, but he just felt uneasy, and he didn't know whether the brothers of the Hu family and King Hui would live well after returning to Beijing.

It's just that no matter how worried, life will still go on. Just a few days after King Hui and the others left, New Year's Eve was ushered in, which also heralded the coming of the new year.

This year's New Year in Lijia Village is much more lively than in previous years. Thanks to King Hui and the others, in order to feed Bai Heng's soldiers well and well, the big guys racked their brains. Most of the families earned more or less money.

Everyone has more money, and the finger gaps are not as tight as in previous years when shopping. It is not yet the New Year, and occasionally the sound of children setting off firecrackers can be heard.

The village chief was also smiling all day long. Seeing that everyone in the village was doing well, he felt very beautiful in his heart, and he valued the Huo family more and more. Not only him, almost everyone in the village has received his favor, except for the stubborn Li family, everyone is very grateful to their family.

So before the Chinese New Year, when the big guys fried the Chinese New Year's food, they would send a bowl to Huo's family. Looking at the piles of fried goods in the kitchen, Wei Yun felt that he might not need to fry them himself this year.

This new year is very comfortable, there are no people who don't wink to make trouble, and Xiao Ping'an wears colorful clothes to entertain relatives every day, but in just a few days, Wei Yun feels that he has gained two or three catties.

It's not just him, everyone in the family is getting fatter, especially the children.

The older one is okay, but the smaller one is like Xiao Shitou and Ran Geer. The two children don't know if they are hungry or full, so they will eat as long as they are given. If there is room in the stomach, they will not refuse. After eating the stomach, I was so scared that everyone would not dare to feed them blindly except for three meals in the future.

Aunt Huo has never had such a comfortable New Year, seeing the life at home getting better and better, she feels that Wei Yun is a prosperous husband, and getting along with Wei Yun is much more harmonious than before, which makes Wei Yun feel A little unreal.

It's just that the good days didn't last long. After the first month, news of the emperor's death came out. Afterwards, the princes seized the throne, and the capital was in chaos for more than half a month before the new emperor ushered in.

Except for those who are officials, the common people are not particularly concerned about this matter. To them, it doesn't matter who is on the throne. As long as he can feed and clothe everyone, and make the world peaceful without war, it doesn't matter whether he is justifiably enthroned or not.

Only the Huo family, because of Bai Heng, everyone hoped that King Hui would be enthroned. Failure in such a matter of seizing the heirloom is not just a matter of losing the throne, it may even cost one's life.

Wei Yun and the others originally had a good impression of Bai Heng because of Huo Cheng, and because Bai Heng and King Hui had lived at home, they were easy-going and easy to get along with, so they naturally hoped that King Hui would take over.

King Hui and Bai Heng did not disappoint everyone. At the beginning of April, they hurriedly brought the news of King Hui's ascension to the throne during the 800 miles of spring. Along with them, there was a yellow imperial decree.

When the imperial decree arrived, everyone in the Huo family was busy in the field except Aunt Huo with Xiaopingan and a few dolls.

The family now has more than 100 mu of land, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on their own, so in addition to hiring people, they also rent out part of it. Even so, everyone in the family is used to working in the fields, and they have to work in the fields every spring, and they suddenly become shopkeepers. Everyone feels a little uncomfortable, so they simply go to the fields to work as supervisors It's quite comfortable to be a supervisor.

In addition to those who delivered the imperial decree, there were also officials from the county government.

Ping County is not remote but not prosperous either. It is an ordinary small county in the Zhou Dynasty, so it is not very important in the prefectural city. Most of the people who can be assigned to work here have no background knowledge and are not outstanding. .

The county magistrate is like this. He has been re-elected in Ping County twice, and he knows what he is capable of, so he does not seek meritorious deeds, but only seeks no faults. He safely passed this year's official assessment, and Ping was transferred to other counties to continue to mess around. That's pretty good.

Who knows that luck can't be stopped, there is actually a person who can be related to the current saint in his world. Although he had a premonition when King Hui left, but at that time King Hui was not the emperor after all, and how tragic it would be to seize the heir, so he didn't have much idea, and he didn't even dare to go up, who made him a pity The idiot is here.

But now, King Hui has become the emperor, and Bai Heng is the king of the opposite sex who is under one person and above ten thousand people. If the Huo family has a relationship with these two, it will skyrocket.

Therefore, if the person who delivered the decree wanted to come to Huo's house, he naturally had no reason not to follow. Not only did he follow, but he also brought all the people from the county government with him. The momentum, maybe whether he can be promoted this year, depends on this.

Aunt Huo had never seen such a situation before, shaking and shaking with Xiaopingan in her arms, she couldn't finish her sentence, it was Brother Tong who had the courage to explain to everyone, and at the same time let Goudan run to find the adults.

Although Goudan didn't know what was going to happen, he knew that the most important thing to do was to find Huo Cheng and his wife. He ran so fast that he didn't even care to pick up his shoes when he dropped them.

Wei Yun and the others were standing in the field next to the mountain and talking. When everyone was working this morning, a hare suddenly ran down from the mountain, followed by a half-sized wild boar. It was probably chasing the rabbit before running away from the herd. down.

Everyone was a little flustered at first, but now it was the busy season of farming and there were many people in the field. After a moment of panic, they tacitly grabbed the wild boar, even the rabbit.

This wild boar is half-grown, and its fighting power is not as strong as that of an adult wild boar. Otherwise, everyone would not dare to be tough. At most, they would try to drive away the things in Huohuotian.

There are many people and strength, and it didn't take long for the big guys to work together to deal with this half-big wild boar, but the appearance was a bit ugly, and there were many deep and shallow wounds.

But in the eyes of the villagers, these are harmless at all. They are all meat anyway. They were caught by the big guys together, and it is not suitable for anyone. The village chief simply decided to kill pigs and eat them at night.

Because of this, a group of people were chatting and laughing, and they were so happy. The outermost one glanced and saw the dog running around here, thinking that something urgent had happened, and hurriedly greeted Huo Cheng: "Dacheng, isn't that your nephew? Is there something wrong with running so fast?"

The couple followed the sound and saw Goudan yelling anxiously, Wei Yun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, thinking that something happened, he hurried forward a few steps Who knew that when Goudan saw him, he immediately gasped and shouted: "Uncle! Hurry up and go home, there are many people at home!"

Wei Yun didn't know why, but seeing Goudan's urgent appearance, he didn't dare to delay , immediately prepared to go back with Huo Cheng.

Goudan saw that there were only the two of them, and quickly added: "What about Uncle Gou and the others? The county magistrate said they all have to go back!" This was something the county magistrate told him, so he couldn't forget it.

Wei Yun was startled and panicked, something big happened, even the county magistrate came. But now he didn't care about asking, and hurriedly called someone to rush home in a hurry.

Huo Cheng had a faint premonition in his heart, and when he saw the white-faced man wearing eunuch uniform beside the county magistrate from a distance, he immediately became more certain of his guess.



Seeing them coming from a distance, the county magistrate quickly said flatteringly to the people around him: "Eunuch Cao, look, they are back." With a snort in his nose, he signaled that he knew.

When people came to the front, Eunuch Cao changed his arrogance when he was talking to the county magistrate, and smiled, his tone became much gentler: "The two are the masters of the Huo family, right?" Seeing that Wei Yun was out of breath, he didn't wait for

them Asked, he reported his family name: "Our family name is Cao, and we came from the palace to pass the decree. I would like to thank you two for saving the Holy Majesty." The last sentence was very sincere, and even bowed slightly to the two of them.

He is an old man next to Prince Xiaowen. He watched Hui Wang grow up and had a deep relationship with Hui Wang. This time, Hui Wang disappeared, and he was so anxious that he almost fell ill.

King Hui originally planned to let other people come this time. Eunuch Cao felt that Huo Cheng and his wife not only saved King Hui's life, but also made King Hui and General Bai Heng look good. Grab the errand.

Eunuch Cao didn't feel bad when King Hui of their family thought it was good. In addition, Wei Yun and the others had saved King Hui's life. Eunuch Cao's attitude was naturally extremely kind. arrogant.

Knowing that the Huo family hadn't received the order, and didn't know much about etiquette, not only personally guided the Huo family, but also smiled all the time, making people feel like a spring breeze, making the county magistrate beside him feel that what he just saw was not an illusion.

Eunuch Cao came with a mission, and when all the Huo family members arrived, the things that should be placed were also placed, and then he took the box that the other party had been holding carefully from the side of the little yellow door, and said loudly: "Imperial decree Arrived!"

Everyone in the courtyard of the Huo family said one after another, and they all knelt down when they heard the words, except Eunuch Cao who was still standing there, and the thin figure finished reading the imperial decree in his hand full of anger.

The imperial decree was proficient, but Wei Yun still understood the main idea. It was probably because the Huo family had made great contributions in saving him. Huo was specially granted the title of County Earl of Yongchang, and he was given one thousand taels of silver, ten Qing Tian, ​​and even a craftsman to build the earl's mansion for Huo Cheng!

Not only that, Wei Yun was also granted a fourth-rank imperial order.

Wei Yun was so dazed by this long list of news, he couldn't react for a long time, not only him, everyone in this yard, how could everyone think that there could be a Sipin County in such a mountain nest? Uncle, although it cannot be passed down and has no real power, but the rank is there, the entire state capital can almost walk sideways!

Eunuch Cao smiled and looked at the people who were sleepwalking and thanking each other. Seeing that although Huo Cheng and Wei Yun were a little confused, but their eyes were clear and thoughtful, he couldn't help but secretly nodded.

After everyone received the order, they gathered together to make offerings, and everything in the yard was tidied up. Then they took out a post from their pockets, pointed at the pile of people and things behind them, and explained slowly: "This is a teacher apprentice post from Hengyuan Academy. The emperor cherishes talents. He knows that the young master Wei Yuwei in the uncle's mansion is a talented person, so he specially asked Chang University to come here. As for these people and things, they are allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I built the uncle's mansion for you, and the emperor took it out of his private treasury to reward you. The emperor said that this uncle's mansion must be built for you to be beautiful, comfortable and comfortable." The uncle's mansion and Dongxi

Weiyun He didn't really care about it, but the teacher apprentice post of Hengyuan Academy made him very happy. He was just very Huiwang. However, the emperor gave such a heavy gift, which is really flattering.

But in his opinion, these rewards are already very heavy, but in the eyes of the emperor, they are really not enough.

According to him, he is the son of heaven, how could his life be worth such a little thing, if he hadn't just ascended the throne, and not all his people in the court, he would have to reward him a lot.

Eunuch Cao finished his work, stayed at Huo's house for one night, brought some pickled vegetables from Huo's house, and then set off to leave.

The emperor lived in Huo's house at the beginning, cleared the porridge and side dishes every day, and actually felt some affection. When he returned to the palace, he would occasionally think of it. As a father-in-law who dotes on his children, he naturally wanted to bring some back.

He walked away chicly and satisfied. The Huo family and even the entire surrounding counties seemed to have poured a pot of hot oil. Whether they were rich or powerful, they tried their best to inquire about the Yongchang county uncle's family that popped up suddenly. The threshold of Huo's family will be broken by people who come to see him.

The Huo family has been very busy recently. Building a house and choosing fields are all things. In addition to spring plowing, they are all busy. Huo Cheng simply didn't answer any invitations. It is him who is the emperor's savior, and no one dares to embarrass him.

The people who were sent to build the house were all good hands in Beijing. I was worried that the main family would not be good at talking, but I didn't expect that everyone in the Huo family was very kind. There are those who do not work hard.

The location of the house has not changed, it is still where the Huo family is now, but the county magistrate's mansion is quite large, and the surrounding land is not enough. This was originally a matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The emperor said After listening to Huo Cheng for everything, the Ministry of Internal Affairs simply gave him the money and let him handle it by himself.

Huo Chengcheng asked the village chief to act as a middleman, negotiated with several nearby families, and bought several surrounding plots of land at a high price, which was considered to have solved the problem of the house.

The land issue is resolved, and the rest is easy to talk about. The building of this house is fast, with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs watching, and the Huo family is much more relaxed.

Early this morning, Wei Yun went to the old house of the Wei family. The brothers of the Hu family had been away for a few months, and there was no one living in the house.

He looked carefully in the yard for a long time, cleaned every corner and corner, and then put away his hands and prepared to go home.

When he came out, he saw a piece of wild vegetable on the back slope that was growing well, so he wanted to pick it back. The terrain on the hillside was high, and Wei Yun saw Tong Geer carrying a basket from a distance, which was full of something stuffed. , was going down the mountain not far away, bouncing all the way home.

Wei Yun didn't need to guess, he knew that most of the baskets were mushrooms. Aunt Huo likes to eat mushrooms these days. It rained last night, so this little brother went up to the mountain to pick mushrooms.

He couldn't help smiling, and just as he was about to call Brother Tong, he saw a slender man approaching on the road beside him.

From a distance, Wei Yun couldn't see what this man looked like, but his figure didn't look like anyone else in the village. Who would have thought that when Brother Tong saw this man, he immediately turned around and ran away, Wei Yun was taken aback for a while. of.

As soon as Brother Tong ran away, the man immediately chased after him. The two of them were arguing, but they didn't know what they were talking about.
