Da Jin

An honest man, with a woman sitting next to him, drove a carriage out of Luoyang City.

In the carriage, Zhou Fuli sat with Zhimo who was holding a puppy.

The road was a bit bumpy, and the carriage shook violently. Zhimo tried to sit up straight, because the little sage had taught him before that scholars should behave politely at all times.

Zhou Fuli looked amused at the little old-fashioned who was being shaken to and fro, and stretched out his hand to let the other party grab his sleeve.

Zhimo is a little shy, when will he be able to be as calm as a little saint.

It was inevitable to be a bit boring on the road, Zhou Fuli looked at the little milk dog in Zhimo's arms, thought for a while, and called out in a low voice, "Pear Blossom?"

The little puppy didn't respond.

Then he called again, "Haitang?"

The little milk dog tilted its neck and opened its big almond-like eyes to look at Zhou Fuli curiously.

That's right, this little milk dog should be called Haitang. When he was teaching the little emperor, he heard the students call the two puppies by their names.

With just a little ink in the little emperor's stomach, can he make such an easy-to-understand picture, a branch of pear blossom pressing a crabapple?Zhou Fuli couldn't help being a little funny.

Zhimo looked at Zhou Fuli cautiously, "Little sage, can we raise this puppy?"

Looking forward to it, after all, he is still a child, and he has no resistance to such a well-behaved little milk dog.

Zhou Fuli hummed, the only troublesome thing was that if the little emperor knew that he would not let him raise a puppy, but he would raise it by himself, what kind of grievance would it be?

A happy smile appeared on Zhimo's old-fashioned little face, "I will teach it well."

In their Taifu's mansion, even a puppy knows the rules, and can't embarrass the little saint. Let's start with "Book of Songs Zhou Song", Zhou people are the most polite.

Not long after, the carriage left the official road and drove into a country road.

Zhimo didn't have time to think about how to teach the little milk dog, but threw out the green-headed locusts that flew into the car from time to time. The little saint loves to be clean, and his clothes can't even have a wrinkle. His mother said he is now a little saint My book boy is gone, so I have to take good care of the little saint at all times.

Zhou Fuli looked at the small flying insects that broke in from time to time, it seems that this year is indeed a year of disaster.

If you think about it for a while, you probably know why the locust plague is so serious this year, because last winter, the heavy snow fell for half a day, and there was no heavy snow covering the ground to kill the locust eggs. When spring came, these large numbers of hatched larvae began to run wild up.

Even in modern times, with so advanced technology and so many means, Zhou Fuli has seen scenes of locusts overwhelming the sky, destroying a large number of crops and causing prices to rise. What's more, in ancient times, the means of controlling locusts were scarce, and he was in awe of locusts.

Zhou Fuli sighed a little, those people in the court really thought that a gorgeous essay on locust relief would alleviate the disaster.

But regardless of whether it is useful or not, he must come up with a sacrificial text as soon as possible.

headache.

I don't know how long I have been troubled, but through the car window, I can see the red glow in the sky outside, and... the faintly visible cooking smoke.

It was a small dilapidated village, probably only a dozen families, and the laughter of children could be heard from time to time.

The breeze is gentle, the smoke is curling up, the unique simplicity and tranquility, the most ordinary ancient village.

Not far above the village is Zhou Fuli's yard.

This courtyard was bestowed by the old emperor, Zhou Fuli came here for the first time, and the Sima royal family was also poor, so they gave some courtyards that had not been repaired for a long time to the meritorious ministers, which could also save a sum of maintenance costs.

The carriage stopped outside the courtyard, and after Zhou Fuli got off the carriage, he knew why the dignified Sima royal family wanted to build such a courtyard in such a remote place.

The white jade-like Luoshui flows gently not far away. The cobblestones along the river are paved long and long. From time to time, unknown wild birds take off among the green reeds. I have to say that the environment is beautiful.

The yard is just a little bit up from the foot of the mountain, and it is quiet. It is really good if you are just staying for a short time or escaping the heat.

Zhou Fuli looked at the courtyard in front of him again. After all, it used to be a courtyard of the royal family. Although it has not been repaired for a long time, it can still be seen that it is carefully designed and occupies a large area.

The yard is surrounded by a low wall, which is different from the fence in the country. It is a brick wall with some green moss on it, but it can be considered a wealthy family.

Pushing open the heavy courtyard door, one can see a rather large courtyard. A tall old elm tree is particularly conspicuous in the courtyard. The stone benches and tables under the tree are quite interesting.

There are two small pools on the left and right of the yard, separated by a small stone bridge. Even if ordinary people have such a large yard, they will not be so exquisitely repaired.

It's a pity that it hasn't been taken care of. There is nothing but a pool of water and a few bare rockeries. The pool water also looks dirty because of the fallen leaves that haven't been cleaned for a long time.

The east and west wing rooms in the courtyard are distinct, and the firewood houses and kitchens are complete.

They came in a hurry and the time was late, and they hurriedly cleaned up two rooms, which can only be done temporarily tonight.

For dinner, there are two biscuits and some side dishes.

To be honest, biscuits are really bad.

But Zhou Fuli did not come here for enjoyment and vacation.

I lit the oil lamp, looked at the light with some sadness, and saw the one or two green-headed locusts flying in from the light outside the window.

Zhou Fuli didn't close the window either, he just watched the locusts breaking in, hoping to find a way to get rid of the locusts.

He was burning papers and bumping into pillars, and he had to hurry up for the little time he had gained with great difficulty.
