Ever since Anxuan's family came to this Qingshan Village, An Rubao has become a celebrity in the village, not to mention that he is the first among the fathers and sons of ten miles and eight villages, just because he is a scholar at a young age is enough to make him The villagers who value scholars the most talk about it.

And the only one in the village who can be compared with him is An Chengyou, the son of the landlord An Fumin's family.

In terms of appearance, An Chengyou is also a handsome gentleman. A few years ago, he lived up to the high expectations and passed the examination as a scholar, but let his grandma, An Jingle, show off in the village. Hi.

It can be said that in this Qingshan Village, An Rubao and An Chengyou can be regarded as the brightest of the moment.

An Rubao and An Chengyou have only met a few times, and I have a good impression of him, handsome in appearance, gentle in temperament, neither ostentatious nor pedantic, and he is also considered a rare person, I just think of his behavior and deeds , and thinking of his inexplicable thoughts about Song Chu, An Rubao didn't have the slightest idea of ​​making friends with him, but An Chengyou seemed to be the same, they just nodded at most when they met.

Therefore, when An Rubao opened the door and saw An Chengyou standing at the door, he was slightly stunned for a rare moment.An Chengyou's expression remained normal, he saluted him and said, "Brother Rubao, please."

Although An Rubao is considered a scholar, he can't stand the red tape of scholars the most, and his sour teeth are knocked down, but he can't lose his courtesy, and complains in his heart: "Why did you come here?" But he can only return the courtesy politely , Said: "Chengyou invites." Then let the person to the courtyard, said: "Please come inside."

An Chengyou rolled his eyes around behind An Rubao, laughed secretly at himself, shook his head, and said, "I won't go into the house, I just came here to ask if Brother Rubao will also participate in this year's autumn festival." Wei?"

An Rubao nodded and said: "I've been late for a year, this time I'm definitely going to participate." An Chengyou smiled and said: "That's all right, it happens that my younger brother is going too, the state capital is far away, you and I I don't know if the two can go together? It's good for each other to take care of each other."

In the past two years, Jingguo has not been peaceful. The three to five day journey from Qingshan Village to Pingqi City has to pass through several dangerous places, which is really unsafe. The news of the robbery, being accompanied by multiple people on the road is multiple guarantees, An Rubao couldn't refuse, and hurriedly said: "I was also planning to go to your house to inquire about it in two days, but I didn't expect you to come first."

The two agreed and agreed on a date, and An Chengyou said goodbye and left.

As soon as he left, Song Chu appeared out of nowhere, stretched his neck and looked out from An Rubao's shoulder, and asked, "Why is he here?" After two days of coaxing, he knew that the other party was doing it for his own good. Although he was still a little uneasy, his anger gradually subsided.

An Rubao closed the door with his backhand, took Song Chu's hand and walked in, and told him about the two of them going together. Song Chu curled his lips after listening, and said, "He's smart, he knows Brother Xing's They are very skilled, and those few flower racks in their house can’t compare to them.” To protect the safety on the road, An Fumin spent a lot of money to find a few guards for his young master, all of them were strong men in their twenties, standing still He is quite capable of bluffing people, but in the eyes of Xing Shan and Song Chu, his skills are nothing more than flamboyant fists and embroidered legs.

An Rubao recalled An Chengyou's behavior of constantly looking behind him, and seeing Song Chu's disdainful appearance, he really wanted to know what kind of outrageous thing An Chengyou did to make Song Chu Chu didn't want to see him so much, apart from mourning for An Chengyou, he was secretly delighted. He pointed at the tip of Song Chu's nose and said, "Yes, yes, my husband is the best, and he can put them all down." Song Chu stood up. She puffed her chest out and said, "That's right. Hmph, it's your loss not to let me go."

An Rubao saw that he thought of this incident again, and hurriedly said: "How can you use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? You are so powerful that you have to use it in an emergency. Brother Xing is enough for such trivial matters as going to the state capital. By the way, I will do it in the future." It's autumn, if you want to eat autumn pancakes, I'll make them for you..." easily distracted the matter.

On August [-], it is advisable to travel.

Early in the morning, most people in the village gathered at the entrance of the village to see them off.There were two scholars in the village, and they might become Juren when they come back. Juren is different from a scholar. Also came to condom close.

Since this trip will take more than a month, the two families have prepared a lot of things for the candidates. An Rubao is okay, and he packed half a carriage with bits and pieces. An Chengyou is exaggerating. With the addition of four guards, the family Three carriages were prepared for him, each of which was full of stuff, as if he wanted to put all his belongings on it.

Or An Xiu really couldn't see it, so he stood up and said to An Fumin: "Stupid! This is rushing for an exam, not moving, so conspicuous, is it because he is afraid that no one will rob him on the way?!" An Fumin's old face flushed red .

Yasui on the side was unhappy, and snorted and said: "My family Chengyou is no better than those mud-legged poor ghosts with rough skin and thick flesh. These things are what he is used to and eat on weekdays. It's useful, isn't there a guard here, what can happen?!" That means that Anxiu doesn't need to meddle in his own business.

An Xiuzi opened a school in the village and was highly respected by the villagers. As soon as An Jingle's words came out, the expressions of the surrounding villagers were a little unsightly. You don’t need to pretend so much, but you don’t listen. A student rushing for an exam pulled all these things. Do you want our young man to die on the road? The master didn’t go through any scenes, use you Talk too much!" Pointing to a few servants around him, he ordered, "Take off all the things you don't need."

Without saying a word, the servants quickly moved all the things on the car down and spread them on the ground. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones inside were just upside down. There were everything you need, bedding, pots and pans, even the pillows. indivual.The surrounding villagers immediately laughed, and An Chengyou couldn't lift his head from the straight smile.He also persuaded Ah Mo several times, but Ah Mo just didn't listen, and it was a joke after all.

Under An Xiu's command, the servants moved the necessary things back into the carriage. Because more than half of the things were missing, one carriage was vacant, and there were only two carriages left. An Chengyou sat in one, and An Chengyou sat in the other There are four guards on board.

On the other side, An Hua, Chu Li, Fang Bo's family and several other good friends all came. An Rubao said goodbye to them one by one, and hugged his little husband vigorously.Song Chu's eyes were red, and he didn't want to say anything, so he let him hug him obediently.After a long time, An Rubaofang got into the car, feeling sorry for his family, followed An Chengyou's car, and drove out of the village.

As soon as An Rubao left, the rest of the family felt empty and unreliable, especially at the beginning of the Song Dynasty when they were sleepy. When they got home, they went back to the west courtyard room and sat alone on An Rubao's favorite seat. On the couch, this was the first time he and An Rubao had been separated like this since they met, and he felt that his whole heart had disappeared.

Qin Feng understood his thoughts, so he asked people not to disturb him and let him be alone for a while.

The family's sadness didn't last long. As autumn became stronger, it was time to pick the fruits on the mountain again.The saplings that An Rubao bought at the beginning were not born in the same year. A small part of them began to bear fruit in the second year after planting. In the past two years, more and more trees have produced fruit, and this year more than half of them have produced fruit.The fruits are thick and thick. Although the early ripening fruits have already been picked, there are still a lot of apples and pears left. It is not something their family can do to pick them all.What's more, there are dozens of acres of land and pearls to be hoed, which requires manpower.

Fortunately, it was not time to plant wheat seedlings at this time, and there were many idlers in the village. An Xuan found An Ruxi and wanted to hire villagers to help pick them. An Xuan's family was known for their generosity in the village. A lot of days came, and An Xuan didn't pick them. He assigned work to them. Those who hoe the pearls hoeed the pearls, and those who picked the fruit picked the fruits. An Zheng, himself and An Shuisheng's father, were watching.

These years, Anzheng has been taking care of the fruit trees on the mountain, and his wages have increased from one tael a month to one and a half. During the years when Anzheng was ill, he was so depleted that he couldn't do heavy work, so he threw his heart into it. On the saplings, he waited on them with all his heart. It can be said that every fruit tree on this mountain is his painstaking effort. When he was working, he was more serious than An Xuan in case someone would fish in troubled waters.

The fathers and men were busy on the mountain, so Qin Feng led a few brothers who came to help to prepare food at home.The family was busy going around, Song Chu couldn't go up the mountain, and he didn't need him for kitchen work, so he and Chu Li took care of the children together, An Feng who had a family in Anli, Fang Rong who had a family in Fang Jiancheng, An Shuisheng's younger brother and others. The other children who were helping others were all mischievous and mischievous. Song Chu chased them all over the yard all day long, and didn't care about hurting the spring and the autumn.

Despite the large number of people, it still took five days for the fruits and ground pearls to be received at home.In the past two years, the fruit yielded little, and it was not worth selling. Except for the food I ate, I gave it to acquaintances in the village.This year is different, I leave what I want to eat and what I want to give away, and there are still a lot left. The weather in autumn is hot and dry, and the fruit can't be kept. After An Xuan and Qin Feng discussed it, they asked An Hua and Fang Jiancheng to share the remaining fruit. They were all sold in the town.Now is the season when fresh fruits are on the market, the price is not high, and they haven't sold them for a few taels of silver. An Xuan and Qin Feng don't care, after all, the main income is still in the ground pearls.

This year's land pearl harvest is also quite a lot, and there are several tens of mu of land and several thousand catties.Ground pearls are still a rarity in the local area, and the price they sell every year is very good. A few acquaintances also planted some, not many. In previous years, they were sold in grocery stores in the town. This year, because of the ground pearl oil, An Rubao greeted Guanshi Huang earlier, and when the pearls arrived at home and dried for two days, Guanshi Huang brought someone to collect them.At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, they went to the Youfang a lot and knew Guanshi Huang. An Xuan and Qin Feng also knew the inside, and sold their own and several other families' to the Youfang.

The oil shop came to fetch things at night, and after passing the scale, Manager Huang handed over a bag of money to Qin Feng, and Qin Feng put it away without counting.Since Wu Shifei went to the capital, there has been very little news. Song Chu and Huang Guanshi inquired about his situation. After all, the capital is not peaceful at the moment. Huang Guanshi only said that his master is safe and sound, and other knowledge is limited. Song Chu was very disappointed.

The fruits and ground pearls were all sold out, more than half a month had passed, the villagers were busy planting wheat seedlings, and Anxuan's family finally had a rest.
