Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

A visit that ends up being a family outing.

Nie Xingfeng rode his horse, ignoring the little stone poking his head out of the carriage, trying to attract his attention.

Shen Luo was sitting in the carriage, Qingchen leaned beside him, looking at the little stone with his butt up, laughing lightly from time to time.

Little Shitou is like an abandoned puppy, sometimes looking at Shen Luo, sometimes looking at his senior brother.I hope that Shen Luo can help him talk to Nie Xingfeng and let him ride a horse.

"It's cold outside!" Shen Luo carried him over and sat down.

"I wear a lot!" Little Shitou Bibi dressed himself like a bun: "It's already May, so it's not cold!"

Shen Luo smiled: "Go and talk to your Brother Feng!"

Xiao Shitou poked his head out: "Brother Feng, sir asked you to teach me how to ride a horse."

"Come on, I heard." Nie Xingfeng said with a smile, shaking the flagon in his hand.

"Sir, look at him." The little stone sank before reaching Nie Xingfeng.

Shen Luo raised his eyes to look outside the car, between the green water and the green hills, the breeze was blowing, the green rice had already reached a certain height, looking over it was a green flat land, the breeze blew past, and the green rice fields emitted bursts of light. waves.

The temperature in early summer is a bit cold because it is close to the north.But this does not prevent the warmth of the day.

Shen Luo looked at the layers of green hills outside the window, thinking that maybe overnight, he would get rid of the night cold and enter a warm and windy summer.

The slowly swaying carriage was not moving fast because of the distance. In addition, there were river branches and wooden bridges in many places, and every time they passed, they had to go slowly.

Shen Luo closed his eyes slightly and slowly fell asleep.

It's been nine months since I've been here, and it's been a bit too easy. In the spring breeze, it seems that the last worry has disappeared.

And the self in the dream is currently undergoing a rest after the expedition. Even so, he is surrounded by swords and swords, and there is a chill.

Shen Luo sighed, and took a long breath in his sleep, Qingchen hugged him, feeling the human emotions, maybe Ah Bai was tired in his heart!

When the car arrived at Yuanfang Village, mule carts pulling vegetables blocked the road, and it was a bit noisy. Shen Luo woke up and looked at the scene outside the car.

Yuanfang Village is a suburban village close to the imperial capital. Apart from farming, the farmers here make a living by growing vegetables. When vegetables are brought to the imperial capital, they can be exchanged for a good price. The population of the imperial capital consumes 200 million, making the surrounding Farmers can earn a living from the land.

The sinking cart managed to pass through the mule cart full of vegetables. The farmers saw his cart and the ten officials who accompanied him all cast solemn eyes. On the surrounding hills, the mountain-shaped stones showed the The north-south mixed landform here.

"My lord, we're here." The chariots and horses stopped in front of the big tree in the center of the village, and a few old people sat under the big tree.

I couldn't help being a little surprised to see the driver and the yamen servant.

A group of children, watching from a distance, did not dare to approach.

An old man with a hoe came running out of breath. His bare feet were covered with mud, and he seemed to be farming.

"This is it, my lords?" the old man asked.

"Is there a scholar named Jian Cong in your village?" Nie Xingfeng asked.

"Jian Xiucai, there are some, and our village is all surnamed Jian." The old man said.

Shen Luo got down from the car, wearing a brocade robe and a white silk dress inside: "Is the old man the Lizheng of this village?"

"Yes, old age is."

"Please tell Jian Xiucai's family, I want to ask him something." Shen Luo returned.

"Okay, okay, everyone, please follow me." The old man led the way with a hoe on his back, and brought them to a courtyard next to the mountain.

The carriage couldn't get on, but Shen Shen and they got out, and saw a courtyard on the hillside, a simple three-room tile-roofed house, neither old nor new, and a row of dried vegetables were placed on the earthen wall of the courtyard.

There were two upside-down blessing characters pasted on the simple courtyard door, this was not Dafeng's custom, Shen Luo was a little curious.

"Xiucai, are you at home?" Li Zheng shouted, opened the door and went in to see, only a five or six-year-old child was playing in the yard.

"Douzi, where's your father?" Li Zheng asked.

A handsome young husband in his twenties walked out of the house: "The third grandpa is here, what's the matter?"

"Where is your scholar, some adults came to see him." Li Zheng asked.

"He went to the lake to fish for fish and shrimp, shall I call him?" Fu Lang was a little surprised to see so many people.

"I'll ask someone to go, my lords, please come in!" Li Zheng said.

Shen Luo looked at the firewood piled up by the wall of the small courtyard, the stone mill in the courtyard, the straw stalks in the empty barn, and the dried peppers hanging from the eaves, full of the breath of life.

"Please come to the adults' room!" The young husband was a little nervous. The clothes of the four people in front of him seemed to be of great value at first glance, and the jade pendants hanging from their waists, and a huge piece of jade pendant around the waist of the young man in the head. The gold medal is incredible at first glance.

"Let's just sit in the courtyard, are there any small chairs?" Shen Luo asked.

"Yes, yes." The young husband went to the room to move a chair.

Little Shitou and the five or six-year-old Xiao Shi stared at each other. The little guy was not afraid of strangers at all, and looked at Xiaoshi with his hips crossed: "Who are you?"

Xiao Shitou looked at his soaring bun, and thought of when he was a child, he took out a few pieces of hard candy that Long Qingchen bought for him from the bag in his waist, and the little guy reached out to take it, threw it into his mouth, and ate it happily Straight ring.

Little Shitou patted his head, and the little guy didn't feel annoyed at all, just smiled and looked at the big brother in front of him.

The adults came from the village, followed by ten yamen servants. The men in the village didn't wait to say anything, but when they saw them go to the scholar's house, they ran to find them.

The yamen servant brought the tea on the car, and asked Fu Lang to add hot water. After Shen Luo finished drinking a cup of tea, he saw a young man standing at the door, holding a big fish basket in his hand.

"Father!" The little guy shouted when he saw someone coming.

"Good boy." The man put down the fish basket: "Who is this lord?"

"This is Master Yin Shen of the Imperial Capital Mansion." Nie Xingfeng said.

"Student Jian Cong sees your lord." Jian Xiucai finished his salute, and Li Zheng came back panting, obviously Jian Cong came back from a run.

"Sit down and talk." Shen Luo said, Qingchen said to go out for a walk, Xiao Shitou was really looking forward to it.

The two younger ones accompanied him and took the four yamen servants for a walk in the village.

"Jian Cong, do you still remember the article about drainage you wrote in the children's exam?" Shen Luo asked.

"I remember, my lord, it was Lord Jin who saw that Xiaosheng's article was more practical, so he ordered my Linsheng."

"Then the government asks you, besides the water canal, what other opinions do you have? For example, the environmental improvement of Nancheng?"

"Nancheng?" Jian Xiucai thought for a while: "I really stayed there, it's a wooden house area, it's either flooded or caught fire in midsummer, and the sanitation is poor, it's really not that good, it can be regarded as a slum in the imperial capital! "

"Then what does the government want to renovate there? Do you have any suggestions?" Shen Luo asked.

"Reform, my lord?" Jian Xiucai showed a curious expression, and asked tentatively, "Does your lord know about Heavenly King Gedihu?"

"Ah?" Shen Luo was dumbfounded by his question: "What kind of cover tiger?"

"Oh, oh, it's nothing!" Jian Xiucai smiled: "If you want to renovate the place, you can build a public housing complex!"

"Public housing area?" Shen Luo heard a new word: "What does this mean?"

"It's a house built by the public house and rented by private individuals. The environment is good, the rent is low, and it's easy to manage. It's a public rental house!" Jian Xiucai slapped her legs.

"Public rental housing!" Shen Luo felt a little enlightened: "Then please explain carefully!"

When Jian Cong heard it, it was considered to be popular science in ancient times, but the young governor in front of him felt good at first glance, his eyes were full of sincerity, and he thought of solving the shantytowns in Nancheng, so he simply introduced it to the general public.

After Jane introduced this modern time traveler, within two hours, his husband came over to refill the tea twice, and Nie Xingfeng also brewed a pot of tea.

Jianfulang looked at his husband just like Qingchen looked at him, with gentle eyes, and even though he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was neatly dressed, and he looked like a nice and handsome guy.

Little Shitou and the others came back, and Jian Cong was only halfway through.

Shen Luo nodded as he listened. Although Li Zheng didn't know his identity, he could see that the scholar in his village was appreciated, and the ideas he mentioned were really powerful, like a fairy tale.

It was almost noon, and the roofs of many houses in the village were filled with smoke.

Li Zheng went out halfway, and someone brought some pheasants, hares, some fish, and a basket of seasonal vegetables.Called two older husbands to help Jian Fulang cook.

"My lord, let's have some light food first!" Li Zheng said from the kitchen when the meal was almost ready.

Shen Luo nodded and smiled: "It's time to work, Brother Feng, you arrange the yamen servants to come to eat, and Qingchen will cook for Lizheng Wuliang."

Li Zhengyi listened: "This can't be done, can't be done, how can an adult come and pay back the money for the meal?"

Shen Luo smiled: "That is to say, people who come here usually eat and drink for free? Then I have no way to deal with it."

Li Zheng heard it: "Don't dare to say that, dare not say that."

Jian Cong who was on the side listened, and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

During the meal, Lizheng was also invited to the table, and Lizheng thought for a while: "Is your lord the magistrate of our county?"

He heard Shen Luo's Benfu, but he didn't understand it, so he asked this question.

"Third Grandpa, this is Lord Yin of the Imperial Capital, and the entire imperial capital is under his control." Jian Cong said.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yin of the Imperial Capital." Li Zheng was taken aback: "How dare that little old man be with you!"

Shen Luo smiled: "Don't worry too much, old man, just come here to see relatives."

He smiled lightly, without any pretensions of a high official.

The farmhouse rice is very fragrant, stir-fried rabbit meat, pheasant soup stewed with mountain mushrooms, braised pheasant and so on.

"Where are your husband and children?" Qing Chen asked.

"Let's eat in the kitchen later!" Jian Cong smiled.

"This is my husband, my younger brother, and my cousin. They are all family members. Let them eat together at the table. It will be more lively." Shen Luo said.

Little Shitou jumped up, and soon went to the kitchen to bring Jian Cong's son. His husband stood aside and watched, a little embarrassed.

"Asheng, sit down, and eat with Mr. Fu Yin's husband." Jian Cong said with a smile to Fu Lang, and Jian Fu Lang sat down.

Xiao Shitou and his son each had a chicken leg, laughing and competing to eat.

"What has Jian Xiucai been doing at home?" Shen Luo didn't have a rule of not talking when eating or sleeping. On the contrary, because he was lonely in his previous life, he liked the feeling of eating together as a family.

Such a small farmyard and farmhouse food made him feel very comfortable.

"It's just to make a living. I can be a scholar in my essays, but it's hard to get in the exam." Jian Cong smiled and brought food to her husband.

"I'll do it myself!" His husband was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, we are very casual at home." Qingchen said to him, not unfamiliar at all.

"Scholars are capable people. They have been able to farm in the past few years, and they also fish and make tofu. Life is much better." Li Zheng and Shen Luo drank a glass of water and wine, and he and Nie Xingfeng had two glasses of wine. Let go.

"This government would like to invite you to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry in the Imperial Capital. Jinhua's subordinates will serve as the supervisor of the construction of the Southern City of the Imperial Capital. What do you think?" Shen Luo said.

Now even Lizheng put down his chopsticks: "Seventh rank official, isn't this the county uncle?"

Jian Cong heard: "My lord, I can't bear to part with my child and my husband."

"It's okay, I still have a three-entry courtyard in the city, which was given by Prince Qi, so I'll let you live in it. You have 18 taels a month, which should be enough to live in if you think about it." Shen Luo said.

"Your Excellency must transform Nancheng?" Jian Cong asked curiously.

"Clean, safe, drainage, and bright streets and alleys are what this government must do, and what you said is to rent it to the people at a low price, and find a home for the poor people in Dafenghuangdu."

Jian Cong looked at him, stood up and saluted: "Xiaosheng is willing."

Shen Luo nodded: "Sit down quickly, then it's settled like this, you make arrangements, I will send a car to pick you up tomorrow."

"it is good!"

When Shen Luo left, he gave Jian Cong 200 taels of bank notes for resettlement purposes.

On the way back, thinking of some suggestions from Jian Cong, Shen Luo had a little more confidence in the future of the imperial capital.

The carriage was running fast, and the speed of the light cart was relatively fast.

I thought that if the reconstruction of Nancheng can be completed, how can I be awarded a title, and then go back to Huzhou with Qingchen, or be assigned to another place as a county guard.

Shen Luo thought of the bad things about himself in the "dream" recently, and couldn't help feeling like running away and staying away from the battle for the throne.

Now thinking of the emergence of this great achievement, he felt that this sign might be able to burn like a fire.

"Brother Qingchen, why is Mr. laughing foolishly when he's asleep?" Xiao Shitou looked at the rare silly Shen Luo and asked in a low voice.

"Maybe I've found a talent and can do something practical, so I'm happy." Qingchen gently touched Shen Luo's face.

The next day, Jian Cong rented out the family's [-] mu of land.

The news that he was going to be a seventh-rank official, or that Lord Yin of the Imperial Capital came to invite him personally had spread throughout Yuanfang Village.

The whole village, regardless of whether they had a good relationship with him or not, almost turned out to see him off.

"I took all the chickens and ducks to the imperial capital and gave them to my lord. There is also a sheep and the vegetables in the vegetable field. I have given them to the third grandpa. I will trouble you to take care of the family. I will grow old in the future, or I will be homesick. You can come back at any time." Jian Cong said goodbye.

"Don't worry, be an official. With such a short distance, you can take care of the people in the village. We will take care of your affairs here!" Li Zheng looked at Jian Cong and said that there is such a big official in the village. It was decades ago.

With the arrival of Jane Cong's family, the rectification of the sunken Nancheng has gradually been on the agenda.
