Shelter in the pastoral

Mangniu Village belongs to Hanyang County, which is also near Pingyang County. Recently, people in their village love to find jobs in Pingyang County to earn some hard money.The village head turned a blind eye, he couldn't stop the common people from looking for something to do, but the news brought by the people who came back recently made all the girls in the village excited, this is not a good thing, if the village The girls in the village have all married outside, and the boys in their village have to be single.

Anyway, Pingyang County is not far from them. Seeing that the snow on the road has melted, I put on the ox cart and want to go there to see if it is as good as they said.

The village head of Mangniu Village took his eldest son and a relative with him.I was about to set off, but thinking of the poor family's rich road, I went to get off the ox cart and put the five taels of silver that I had saved for most of my life in my pocket.

Bullock carts move slowly in winter, and they don’t worry about wearing thick clothes. After walking for a while, they feel that the road is wider.The eldest son of the village head said with a surprised look on his face: "This is the cement road they said, it's really good." It is flat and strong, and the village head was surprised to see the cement road with his own eyes. It is still some distance away from Pingyang County. , How much does it cost to run through the entire county.

No wonder people praise this small county magistrate in Pingyang County, so much money paves the way for people to trample on it. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people have.

They were already shocked before they reached the county seat, and they were even more surprised when they entered the county seat. Now that it was winter, they only had a few seasoning and grain sellers in business in Hanyang County.But it is very lively here in Pingyang County. There are stalls selling roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes on the main road, as well as various small vendors, and there are government servants who shuttle back and forth. I heard that people from Mangniu Village come here to find work. It is said that even petty theft is rare here, as long as they are caught, they will be locked up for a month.

They didn't eat when they came. There were noodles and steamed buns on the road.The smell of food was so tempting to the hungry people that the village chief's son couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Father, let's eat something."

"I don't have any money for what to eat." Although he is the village head, he only earns some income from the field all year round, and has no habit of eating outside.

His son hummed aggrievedly, but did not dare to refute.

Even the relatives who drove the ox carts were stunned: "Pingyang County is developing so well now?" Seeing is believing.When he was young, he visited Pingyang County several times. At that time, he thought that their county town was better, but now it has changed a lot.

Soon the village head said: "Stop."

The relatives driving the car hurriedly pulled the rope, and the cow stopped slowly.Then I saw the village chief at the door of a shop. He didn't know much, but he could still read these words, farm tool shop.

He has worked in the fields all his life, and he doesn't like other people playing with money, drinking and women, he just likes to play with his own farm tools.When I saw that there was still a shop for farm tools, my heart was moved, and I wanted to go in and have a look.

The store looked like it had been repainted.He looks very grand and upscale. Although he is the village chief of Mangniu Village, he came out in a hurry today and didn't clean up properly. There were mud marks on the soles of his shoes when he walked on the cement road. The village chief's face was a little hot, and he didn't know whether he should go in or not.

While hesitating, the clerk inside seemed to see his embarrassment, and hastily greeted him and said, "Master, come in and have a look?"

The village head went in as soon as he heard it, and his eyes widened as soon as he entered. There are all kinds of farm tools here, including wooden ones and fine iron ones. He saw a shovel, and he knew how strong it was. .There are other farm tools, many of which are needed by his family.The village chief liked these things in the first place, but this time he saw the best quality and the best workmanship.

Love each piece.

The hoe is heavy in your hand, and after weighing it, it fits your hand.Moreover, the wooden handles on the top have been carefully sanded with sandpaper, without any wood chips or burrs.He made it himself at home, but nothing like this.

"How much is this?" He mustered up his courage, and his heart was pounding when he said this.

The store is newly opened, although it is a business at the gate of the yamen, but the outsiders don't know it, it was opened quietly, and this group of customers came in three days after he opened, the shopkeeper was also excited, and he didn't need to be introduced by the assistant. On the stage, he said: "You have a good vision. This is made by our farm tool master. There is an iron mine not far from us, and all the iron is used. The total is only 500 yuan." Blacksmiths are not easy these days. Raw materials It is also rare, even if there are most of them, they will make things like daggers and weapons with higher profits.It is a waste of money to make farm tools.

The price of 20 Wen is high, but it is a little cheaper than the head of Mangniu Village expected.A good farm tool can be used for ten or twenty years, especially if they dig a hole in the countryside, dig a field, etc., and the old things in the house are rotten, which is good.

Not only the village chief couldn't move when he saw the good farm tools, but his son and their relatives also stared at them casually: "Hey, dad, let's buy one!"

"There is a piece of iron in the middle of the ox sled plow, which plows deeper than wood."

They didn't expect that some farm tools were also sold. They used to make all their own. Their craftsmanship is incomparable to that of craftsmen, and their eyes are straightened.

But they are not as rich as the village head alone, and they are so greedy that they dare not inquire about the price.

The village head asked, "How much is that hoe?" He had seen it, and it was made of fine iron, so thick that such a piece could be passed down to the family in the future.

The shopkeeper said: "Don't see that the hoe is small, but the processing technology is very complicated. It's not that the teacher and father can't make it like this. There are only three of them. You have caught up today. I don't care how much you want, you just give [-] Wen. This price is with me, you can take it out and inquire about it, there is definitely no one cheaper than mine.

The village chief was already moved, but hearing his words made him even more moved.The eldest son next to him couldn't concentrate, he felt a little nervous when he heard this, and said, "Father, let's buy it." He was also afraid that there would be no such shop after passing this village. "

The village chief was stronger than his son, so he settled down and said, "This one will be cheaper for me, we are all from the countryside below. We don't have much money."

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "I really didn't ask you too much." Or how to say that choice is greater than hard work, and it is also for the county.People's jewelry shops are in the business of the rich, and it is not enough to sell without bargaining, and the schedule is already scheduled until June next year.They sell farm tools here, and no one comes in for three days. If he hadn't told the buddy to make the buddy's eyes brighter, he might not be able to come in.At this moment, he said: "Well, I will give you a bargain price. Below this price, you can buy wherever you like, and I will never stop you. I will not give you thirty or fifty yuan. If you want to If you buy them alone, you get [-] cash for the shovel and [-] cash for the hoe. If you buy both, it usually costs [-] cash. You can give me [-] cash.”

The village head said: "My brother also wants to buy a sledge plow."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "No matter how much you buy, it will still be at this price. Don't worry, it won't suit you."

Upon hearing this, the village chief said, "Success." Then he paid the money for the two items.Fortunately, I brought enough money when I came out, otherwise I would be sad to see such a good farm tool but not be able to buy it.

The relatives couldn't move on the ox sledging plow, so they insisted on borrowing money.

The village chief followed suit, and the price was [-] yuan. Then he bought some small tools, all of which were grown in the village. His handwork is very good, and he can make ordinary small things by himself.

After buying, he said: "It's the first time I've come to your county, so let me introduce you to some delicious food."

The shopkeeper said: "The dine-in food in our county is very good. There is a small stall, and there is a long queue every day. The steamed buns, vegetable dumplings, and meat buns are all delicious. Thousands of them a day are not enough to sell. Sometimes my mother-in-law doesn’t like to cook, so she buys and eats there. You can buy a few to try when you come. When the pigs are slaughtered around the New Year’s Day, the black pigs in our county will be delicious. If you have Relatives can ask them to buy some to take home.” This is what the people in the county are looking forward to the most, like the young guys they recruited locally, they are not very old, and they don’t buy any candied haws sold outside, just waiting to save Money to buy black pork raised in the county.

The village head's determination is not bad, but when his son heard it, his face was a bit greedy, and he said: "Father, let's go."

The village head said: "Then let's go first and get things when we come back." Although everyone said that the law and order in the county is good, they are just in case.This farm tool cost a lot of money.

The shopkeeper said, "It's easy to talk about."

Everyone rushed to the dine-in side.Most of them are locals, queuing up to take them home after they are sold out, and hurry back to go to school, and do not delay weaving.There are quite a few empty seats in the middle.After asking about the price, the village chief didn't order meat buns, but ordered vegetable dumplings for two per person, and a bowl of egg drop soup for each person.

Take a bite and you will understand why there are so many people queuing up here.The same vegetable dumpling, how can they make it so delicious?The skin is thin and the stuffing is big. Although there is no meat, it is obviously put a little oil. After eating, the corners of the mouth are still greasy. The vegetable dumpling looks like a big fist, but it is addictive to eat.Just two people like them can only pad their stomachs, it's so delicious.I have some food in my stomach on a cold day, but I haven't had enough.

If you let go of your stomach, you can’t eat seven or eight by yourself, how much would it cost, drink up the egg drop soup, at least get full with water, and said: “That’s it for today, I’ll give it to you later.” Mom and sister buy a few." I bought another ten vegetable dumplings and took them home.It’s hard to go out and buy nothing.

They already sell candied haws outside.Looking at the bright red fruit on the top, it looks very attractive. After eating, I sat on the bench and looked at it for a while, and I really bought a few for those who spoil their children.

The village chief's son was a little envious.The people in this place are really rich.I can afford the vegetable dumplings and steamed buns from outside, and I can also buy small snacks like candied haws for the children at home. I don’t know if I can afford them when my baby is born in the future.

After eating, they went back to pick up the farm tools and came back.

Along the way, the elder son of the village chief, who was always heartless, was lost in thought, and when he was about to reach Mangniu Village, he said: "Father, I have nothing to do at home anyway, so why don't I come here to find something to do. "Go out and make some money, and save yourself eating dry chews at home.

The village head said: "Go." His son had mentioned it before, but he was rejected at that time.This time it was very different.

When I went back with the agricultural tools, the autumn harvest at the entrance of the village was over, and many people gathered at the entrance of the village, where the east was extended, and the west was short, gossiping there. Seeing that the village chief came back, he brought such good agricultural tools, so he hurried over. I fell in love with it, and after inquiring about it, it was not expensive, so I quickly asked where it was, and planned to buy one too.

"Let's go together tomorrow, there are many people and we can negotiate the price."

"That's right. The ox sled is also good, but we don't have any cattle."

"They are really willing to let go of the material. Refined iron is good for preserving its value. If you don't want it in the future, you can also go to the blacksmith to recycle it. If you add some money, you can exchange it for a big iron pot."

"Bring me tomorrow, let's buy it back early, without delaying the next year's crops." This thing is not cheap, but everyone knows it is worth it.

……

Fang Shujing was looking at the account statement given to him by the farm tool shop. Recently, many nearby villages came to buy things. These people are smart people, and they would have delayed farming.He was relieved to see that the farm tool shop was selling so well, and then he heard a hasty knock on the door. After opening the door, the person who came was Xu Quan. He didn't know what was in a hurry, but he came running.

"What's the matter, speak slowly."

Xu Quan's face was full of joy and said: "Madam and master are here." He was talking about Mrs. Fang and Father Fang.

Fang Shujing was also surprised. He knew they were coming, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

He quickly ordered the master to go to his house to find him if he had something to do.

Fortunately, the yamen is not far from where he lives.

Fang Shujing didn't even have time to change into her regular clothes, she was still wearing the official clothes of the county magistrate.

From a long distance, I saw several carriages parked in front of my house.With the outer door wide open, Fang's hearty laughter could be heard inside.

Fang Shujing went in, and saw Liu Yechen had gone home earlier than him, holding Little Hawthorn. Little Hawthorn hadn't seen her grandparents for a long time, and now she was lying in Liu Yechen's arms, peeping at them curiously.

Fang Shujing came back not too late, said: "Father, mother, are you here?"

Looking at Fang Shujing, Fang couldn't hide her smile.

Father Fang was also a little excited, and said: "I said I would send you a letter before I came, but your mother insisted that she is not an outsider, so you are not allowed to prepare."

Fang Shujing said: "I'm going to change my clothes." It's quite uncomfortable to dress so formally at home.Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, Little Hawthorn groaned: "Ah." The meaning of acting like a baby was very obvious.

Fang Shujing was used to directly carrying the little guy into her arms, and said with a smile, "Why, do you want to change clothes with Daddy?"

"Ah." Little Hawthorn replied very loudly.

Fang Shi saw this scene beside her and couldn't love her anymore.

Liu Yechen said: "Father, mother, your rooms have already been cleaned up."

Fang said: "Don't worry about it. Your father and I brought a lot of things from our hometown, including the rice paste that was finely ground for Little Hawthorn. There is also your rice. Speaking of which, the output is twice as high as when the village chief planted it last year. A lot. The ears of grain are full, and the rice that comes out is delicious. This time I brought you five hundred catties, as well as other side dishes and toys for my grandson.” This time I brought a lot of things, Otherwise, it would be faster to come here.

Xu Quan quickly ordered the servants to unload the carriages. These carriages were all hired.He is the housekeeper now, and he gave each of those carriages a red envelope when he left.

Mrs. Fang and Father Fang have worked hard here, so let them rest more.

They are getting old, and it is really tossing from the long journey, but as soon as they enter the county town and see their son and grandson, all fatigue disappears.Even if I burn the kang in the room to keep it warm, I can't fall asleep.

After a while, Fang Shujing changed into ordinary clothes, and also changed Little Shanzhao into a small red dress that she would wear when she went out to meet people. She also wore a melon cap, which looked very cute on the child.Besides, Fang Shujing still teased the children when he was idle, but now Little Hawthorn can make bows, which is very funny.

When Fang Shujing came out, he looked at Liu Yechen.Then the three of them went to the house arranged for Fang's old couple.When Fang saw the little hawthorn, she couldn't move, and said, "Hurry up, give me a hug." The two fathers of this little grandson are both first-class and good-looking. This child was beautiful at birth, but now he is a little older It looks even cuter, and the little white doll exudes a baby's fragrance.

The little hawthorn was taken over by Fang, and it felt heavy in the hand.

Fang felt relieved all of a sudden, it's not easy for such a little kid to make them chubby.No one will know that he is a premature baby when he is taken out now.

Fang always liked children, and she was willing to tease the children on the side of the road, not to mention her own children, who didn't know how to love them, so they couldn't express themselves.

Little Hawthorn is also an exquisite kid. Although he is young, he knows who is the real one and who is the fake one. Being so loved by grandma, he also laughs out loud from time to time.Also humming and acting like a baby.Little Hawthorn is used to coaxing people, and made Fang's bewildered.

Father Fang also wanted to hold the child.Mrs. Fang handed the child over, and Father Fang tensed up nervously, for fear of being bumped by the big grandson in his arms. Don't look so nervous, but there was a satisfied smile on his mouth.

Fang Shujing looked interesting, supported his wife and said, "You are leaving, is the pharmacy busy?"

Liu Yechen quietly turned her head to the side and whispered to Fang Shujing, saying: "Yes, I told Master, Master will be back soon." As soon as he spoke, he quietly posted Fang Shujing Fang Shujing's cheeks turned red. Before, he said that his son was a sweetheart, but now he found that his daughter-in-law was less than one percent of his daughter-in-law.

If it wasn't difficult to express in front of parents, I really wanted to pinch his chin and give him a deep kiss, to let him know that men can't be seduced.

Fang Shujing took several deep breaths to resist what happened to his daughter-in-law.

It was simply that Fang's and Father Fang's attention was on the cub, and no one paid attention to him, but it also made his Adam's apple twitch violently.

Liu Yechen was then grabbed by the husband, and his fingers were tightly intertwined, and they were inseparable even if he wanted to.

Little Hawthorn has always been the pistachio of the elders, and sometimes he didn't let go of the smiles on Fang's and Father Fang's faces.

After a while, Xu Quan came to report that Doctor Liu had returned.

As soon as Dr. Liu heard that Fang's couple had come, he came back as soon as he saw that he was not busy, and said, "You guys are here. I have been looking forward to it for a long time."

Fang said with a smile: "The autumn harvest is over, we don't have to worry about the family shop and wood furniture factory, we just come here when we have nothing to do." In fact, he just missed his son.

Dr. Liu said to Fang's father: "Today we two brothers should drink a little."

Father Fang was also happy. He usually went to work in the lumber factory. When he was at home, there was no one to drink with him. When he came here, he and Old Man Liu had something in common. He said, "You have to drink."

Fang Shujing said: "I treasured a pot of Zhuangyuanhong over there, and I opened it today."

Father Fang always loved wine, and his cheeks turned red when he heard that his son was so excited, and said, "Okay."

Mrs. Fang played with the little hawthorn in her arms, while Mrs. Fang dragged Old Man Liu to gossip.Old man Liu usually deals with patients.To maintain the image of being a master with his apprentice Liu Yechen, it can be regarded as finding someone of the same age.He began to praise Fang Shujing, the county magistrate, for his good work, and talked about how he fought against merchants, paved roads, and developed the county economy. stunned.

Fang was holding the child and didn't listen to what they said, but she was unconsciously attracted by what old man Liu said, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.The pride in my chest is gone.

It was the first time Fang Shujing heard old man Liu praise him, he was so embarrassed that he could not sit still, and said: "I'll go to the kitchen to arrange some meals." After speaking, he went out, and Liu Yechen also came out.Keep their old and young talking at home.

Now that they are here, the kitchen is naturally preparing the best meals.Fang Shujing cooked several of them herself.He hasn't cooked for a long time.

The rice that was steamed was the rice that Fang brought back from his hometown, and it was the grain produced in his own land. Although he took [-] catties this time, there was still a lot of it stored at home.His grains are elongated, and when he opened the grain bag, he could smell the fragrance.After rinsing, add some water and steam it in the pot, it will be fragrant!

Fang Shujing just sprinkled a handful of spiritual spring water before, but the effect was so domineering.

Fang also brought a lot of sausages and bacon from home. After steaming the bacon, he made a dish and cooked a few more that he often eats at home.There are also local specialties, and the chef also cooked a few dishes.I collected twelve dishes and took out the large tabletop that is not commonly used at home.

It will be on display in a short while.

Little Hawthorn can already eat some vegetable puree in addition to rice cereal, and the little guy's meals are also ready.

The wine is also hot.

Both Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang were seduced by the strong smell of food, and a big table was full of vegetables, including chicken, duck and fish.

Old man Liu and Fang's parents took the main seats.Fang Shujing sat down holding the cub.First feed the pup rice cereal and then some vegetable puree.

The guy used to eat very vigorously, but today he saw the food on the table with curiosity flashing in his big eyes, and then he tilted his head as if lost in thought: "Ah." He pointed at the food with his little finger.

Fang Shujing said: "You can't eat it yet, you can eat it when you grow up." After speaking, he put the spoon of vegetable puree near the little boy's mouth, and the little guy opened his mouth and ate obediently.

I heard that not all children are so well behaved.But their cubs didn't bother to feed them at all.After a while, her belly rounded and she was carried down by Chunni.

When there are no children at the table, you can drink.

Fang Shujing filled everyone with wine and said: "Today, it's great that parents can come. I wish parents and master good health!"

"Your mother and I are in good health." Father Fang always compares himself with young men now, and he does no less than young men. The Fang family is also happy all day long. Ever since Fang Shujing, a good son, was raised , everything is going well now.It is not a problem to live another 30 years like this.

Old man Liu said: "I just checked your father and mother's pulse, and they are in good health."

Since Fang Shujing mentioned the wine, everyone drank it.Then we started to eat. This time, everyone was full. Not only did the dishes taste good, but the rice was also very sweet. Old man Liu put down his meat-loving food and added more rice three times.

The old couple wanted to hug their grandson, so after discussing with them, they moved the cub's crib to their house, and they will sleep with them today.

Fang Shujing couldn't ask for more, he still wanted to ask for an explanation on how his daughter-in-law seduced him today.

……

Everyone got up late the next day.In the morning, I cooked porridge with millet, steamed some flower rolls, and it was not bad to eat with sausages and small pickles.

Fang Shujing wanted to accompany his parents around, but was chased away by Fang, saying: "We can go by ourselves, just find a young man to accompany us. You all go to busy business, I am not with your father." If you stay here for a day, if you stay with us every day, it will be our fault, and in the morning, I asked old man Liu and Liu Er to go to the pharmacy, so you should go to the yamen as soon as possible."

Fang Shujing said: "There is nothing to do in the yamen." The people under him are too capable to finish all the work, and now he is a county magistrate practicing calligraphy in the county.

Fang said: "No matter if it's okay or not, you can go there, just pretend that we didn't come." She just didn't want to cause trouble for her son.

Fang Shujing couldn't help them, and said, "Okay, if you have something to say, just tell Xu Quan."

"What's the matter?" Fang waved his hand.She has heard that the law and order here is good.

Fang Shujing wanted to give them money again, and if he came across something he liked in the county, he could buy it back.

Fang's family and Father Fang refused again and again. They had some money to open a wood furniture factory before.When I first met Xiao Shanzhao yesterday, the old lady gave the little guy 20 taels of silver with a wave of her hand, saying that it would be a meeting gift for the little guy.This money is not acceptable, forcing Liu Yechen to keep it for her grandson.

The family was not short of money, and there were people around, so Fang Shujing had no choice but to go to the county.

As soon as he left, the people in the yamen had already cleaned up his study, and when they saw him coming, they even brewed a pot of Yuqian Longjing.

He only needs to read books and write.

Fang Shujing has a restless character, so he stopped the master after a while.

"Is there anything going on recently?"

The master said: "No, everything is fine." Now the artisan village is gradually getting back on track.The shops under his hands have also started to sell one after another.Their things even became popular in other places.Now is the time for many people to cat winter, but their Pingyang County is very lively.

The master looked at Fang Shujing's eyes with gossip and said, "You have heard about Wang Xiucai."

Wang Xiucai was the first gentleman invited by the private school for deblinding. He is gentle and refined, and has solid knowledge. Said: "What happened to him?"

The master said: "I also heard from other little gentlemen." The nickname "little gentleman" was originally called by ordinary people, but after a long time, they got used to it.In fact, he is a student of Wang Xiucai.The master said mysteriously: "I heard that he is with the thick servants who serve him." When he came, he bought some servants to take care of his daily life.

Among them is a brother who looks ordinary and has an honest temper. It is said that his hands are full of calluses all year round.I don't know what Wang Xiucai likes about him. I pursued him for a long time. The honest brother finally agreed a few days ago. Happy.

Fang Shujing was a little surprised, thinking that such an arrogant person as Wang Xiucai would find a young lady, but he didn't expect such an opportunity.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, and Wang Xiucai came after a while, and when he asked someone to inform him, he surprised the master.I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Fang Shujing asked someone to come in, and said to the master: "It seems that you can't tell people behind your back."

The master said: "No."

Wang Xiucai just got married and looks refreshed on happy occasions.

Fang Shujing said: "Why don't you tell me about your marriage." He can be regarded as a general in his hand.If there is no deblinding class, relying on the county government and these people will be exhausted, thinking about asking Xu Quan to prepare a generous gift for him.

Wang Xiucai said: "He doesn't want to make a big fuss either." In fact, this is what Wang Xiucai's wife meant.

Fang Shujing joked with the master again.The master then withdrew, afraid that they would have something to talk about, and before leaving, he closed the door of the room with a wink.

Fang Shujing saw the master walking away, so he said: "What's the matter?"

Wang Xiucai said: "The children in the imperial examination class are very talented, and their foundation is not bad. If I want to, I can send them back to Shanlin Academy." The most basic operation.Although it was a bit late to practice handwriting, they worked harder than anyone else. Although they didn't have any fonts to speak of, they wrote very well.It can be regarded as the kind of font that you will like on the test paper.At the top is the gap in knowledge and reading. Sending them to a big academy as soon as possible is the best choice.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay, I'll write a letter to Mr. Luo." He has the best relationship with Mr. Luo, so it should be fine to have his letter.

When Wang Xiucai heard Fang Shujing's words, he finally felt relieved.Then I went back without much trouble.

After a few days, Fang Shujing received three letters in a row.There is Mr. Luo, there is Shanzhang, and there is also Liu Lin, a good friend who lived in the same dormitory.Knowing that Liu Lin is now also serving as a teaching assistant at Shanlin Academy, he has always wanted to fill the vacancy, but he couldn't sit still when there was an opportunity. The letter said that he was already married, and he hadn't forgotten about marrying Xiao Shanzhao. Son.

After Fang Shujing finished reading, the corners of his mouth twitched. Although he didn't stay in the academy for a long time, he was still very happy to be with them.

Fang Shujing intends to continue reading and reply together after reading all the letters.The second one was a letter from the head of the mountain.The head of the mountain said in the letter that he had heard that he had developed well in the county, and encouraged him not to forget what he had learned over the years and to be a conscientious parent official.The letter is a teaching from the elders to the younger generation.At the end of the letter, it said that the students from them could be accepted and let them go again in the spring.With his sponsorship, even the entrance examination is exempted.

The third letter was from Mr. Luo.Mr. Luo had a better relationship with him on weekdays, and he wrote thicker letters. He complained in his heart that since he took their class, it was not fun to take other students.The other students are either just repeating the subject in front of the book, or their mentality is unstable, as long as they change the question type, they will be fine.Moreover, they only read some Four Books and Five Classics, and they refused to read more other books, for fear of delaying their imperial examinations.People like Mr. Luo believe that it is best to read ten thousand volumes of books. There are no miscellaneous books, and not all of them can inspire their thoughts.

He also praised that he is doing so well as a county magistrate now because he read a lot of miscellaneous books at the beginning, otherwise even if they were allowed to be officials, they would not be able to be successful!

He babbled a lot, and later said that after he left, there were fewer people drinking with him, and he missed the days when Fang Shujing was there.

In the end, he changed the subject and said that something happened to the head of the mountain. Originally, the head of the mountain didn't let him talk about it, but he still felt that it was not a taboo to say it simply because they were all from the same sect.The head of the mountain was also chosen wrongly in the official ranks, and he was always admonishing the new emperor on weekdays, which annoyed him.This time he was demoted.He has many disciples, some even have higher official positions than him.

At this time, it is very troublesome, and this court is the most loyal, if you don't help him to speak, you will be labeled, if you help him to speak and write a book for the emperor, you will be against the emperor.

Just because the head of the mountain expressly stated that it was just right for him not to be an official, so he continued to be his head of the mountain.And let everyone not speak for him.So as not to leave a handle to be used by other political opponents.

After reading the letter, Fang Shujing was silent for a long time.

Then they wrote replies and sent a rare Hui ink to Liu Lin.I sent a folding fan and the 50-year champion red to the head of the mountain.Send Mr. Luo a jar of [-]-jin bamboo-leaf greens.

Money can't buy these things.

After sending the things out, he sat at the desk and sent a letter to the young master.He does not want to get involved in the struggle of officials. Mr. Luo is well educated and upright. He admires the people who are upright, but because of his political disagreements, he has been repeatedly run on. Put what you have learned over the years into intrigue.

If this is the case, he would rather be a sesame official all the time, and take care of the people in one side without forgetting his original intention.

After posting this letter, he was a little bored in the study and planned to go out for a walk, but he changed into a normal uniform and walked back home unknowingly.

After going back, little Shanzha was the first to see him: "Ah." As long as Liu Yechen is not around, the little boy will kiss him the most.

Fang Shujing reached out and hugged the child.The little guy seemed to feel that his father was unhappy, and rubbed his cheek with his delicate face, as if to coax him.

Fang Shujing looked at the child who was only a few months old, and said, "Daddy is fine."

When Mrs. Fang came back with Mrs. Fang, they liked to go to places with a lot of people to chat about family affairs these few days.The Fang family also has those gorgeous clothes but they don't like to wear them. They wear ordinary cotton clothes, which look like ordinary people.

Pingyang County likes to praise the county magistrate.It's endless to talk about the good deeds the magistrate has done. They can't get tired of talking about those compliments, and Fang can't get tired of hearing them either.For several days in a row, I came back happily every day.

Father Fang said: "Son, I want to go to the Craftsman's Village for a while." He didn't know about the Craftsman's Village until he lived there for a few days.He is also an old carpenter, besides, he is not as immobile as Fang's, he likes to work.But in Fang Shujing's house, there are servants and servants, where is his turn to do it? He just heard about the village of craftsmen, and heard that those people are the former carpenters of high-ranking officials. How powerful they are!

Fang Shujing said: "Busy over there." His father is not young anymore, it would be nice to be able to hug his grandson at home and take care of him.

Originally, he wanted to dissuade Father Fang, but as soon as Fang Shujing finished speaking, Father Fang's eyes became brighter, and he said, "Just be busy." He was so bored.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay, I'll ask Master to arrange it."

Father Fang said: "Don't say I'm your father, I want to live in the Artisan Village based on my ability." Before going, there must be a very strict assessment.

When Fang saw that Father Fang was serious, she was a little dumbfounded and said, "Why are you so old, old man?"

Father Fang said: "I'm not bad either." Anyway, he is the core carpenter of the wood furniture factory, and his job is very good.

Fang Shujing thought for a while and said: "It's okay to go, there are many carpenters over there, you can communicate with them, and then go back and add more tricks to your furniture factory!"

Father Fang was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's exactly what I want." Then Fang said: "I'll go over there to learn the craft, you can stay and have grandchildren." He wanted to go but he didn't want to suffer anymore Daughter-in-law, I am also curious about the work-point system over there.

Fang said: "Then I'll go with you, I can't make it if you lose the old thing." She wanted to have a child, and she went to the city to read it.She is also to blame for this, she likes to inquire about Fang Shujing's good deeds in front of the fellow villagers, but Father Fang listens to him, and wants to work after a few days of good life here, but marrying a chicken Marry a dog with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, she
