Young rich peasants

After the hidden danger of wild boars was eliminated, there were no new anecdotes in the village for a long time.

Xi Lang, who loves gossip the most, suddenly came to find Zaozi mysteriously, "There is a big event in the county!"

"What's the big deal?"

"I heard that the government is looking for a brother with a special birthmark! What do you think?"

Zaozi smiled, "What do you think? Brother Liuxi, why can't I understand what you are saying."

Xi Lang looked as if he hated iron and steel, "When it comes to special birthmarks, who else in the county can compare to little Ah Yue?"

Zaozi suddenly said: "So that's the case, but what are people looking for special birthmarks for?"

Xi Lang said: "I don't know! But many people guess that it has something to do with the palace. Previously, the prince's marriage could not be found, the empress dowager passed away, the emperor was furious, and then there was no sound. Do you think it is possible? Everyone secretly said that the emperor will definitely not let it go, this time he is looking for a brother, maybe he is looking for the marriage partner, and the key is the birthmark!"

Zaozi said: "Even if it is, it has nothing to do with my Ah Yue."

Xi Lang said: "Hey! That's not the way it is said. Whose birthmark will look like a phoenix? Isn't the phoenix the symbol of the royal family's main wife, Ada?" Zaozi quickly covered Xilang's mouth, "Brother Liuxi, you Don't talk about it, it's a big deal to be heard by others!"

Xi Lang broke away his hand and said unconvinced: "My reminder is also for your own good! If you want little Ah Yue to marry in a place as far away as the capital and join the powerful and prominent royal family, then you can take little Ah Yue out and hang around Huang; if you don't want little Ah Yue to go this way, then hide it quickly and don't go out for a while!"

After Xilang left, Zaozi hurried to look for Brother Lei and asked him about it. Lei Shounuo had just returned from the county seat, and he still had two jugs of wine in his hand.He smelt of alcohol, it seemed that he had socialized with someone.He responded to Zaozi's words, "The ones who came were indeed people from the palace. A small yamen servant accidentally saw the paintings held by those palace people. He couldn't see them clearly, and said they were in the shape of birds."

Zao Zi lost his strength and fell on the stool, "Ah Yue will be all right?"

Lei Shounuo said: "Don't go out these days, if you're not afraid of [-], you're just in case." He held his forehead, was very drunk, and had to spend a lot of time trying to trick those officials.

Seeing this, Zaozi went over to help him rub it gently, "Brother Lei, if Ah Yue is really the prince's marriage partner..."

Lei Shounuo frowned deeply and said: "I will try my best to stop it. I have no control over the royal family, but I will not let my son resign himself to fate." Zaozi smiled slightly, and he also thought the same way.It's better to stay at home recently and get through this period of time.

However, the matter of little Ah Yue's birthmark was leaked after all.

It was a bright and clear day, and seven men in red clothes with swords suddenly came to their home.

Lei Shounuo faced these people with a calm demeanor, he asked: "How many brothers are from the north?"

The leading red-clothed man clasped his fists, "Boss Lei, the next few people have obeyed orders and offended you." A person behind him silently closed the door of the house.

Zaozi clung to little Ayue's hands, bowed his body to accompany him as he walked, but he was surrounded by several people as soon as he left the room, "Who are you!" He looked into the hall, he, Lei Ge, was talking to one of the strangers fight.

He immediately squatted down and hugged little Ayue into his arms, but suddenly felt a strong force grasping his arms, and before he could cry out in pain, little Ayue was hugged by another man in red.

"Let them go! Something is coming at me!" Lei Shounuo resorted to all the martial arts he had learned, and with his momentum, he even pushed back the red-clothed man who was fighting.

The leader tore away little Ah Yue's scarf, and the other immediately spread out a piece of paper and put it beside her.He frowned, and said to others: "The shape of the birthmark matches, but..." This sentence, but, almost broke Zaozi's heart.

One of his subordinates quickly took out a kit from the skirt of his shirt, "This is a kit entrusted by Master Qin Tianjian. Your Excellency said that if you find the birthmark of the golden phoenix first, you can open this kit."

"Read it quickly."

With an innocent face, little Ayue stabbed a goose feather into the nostrils of the leading man in red, who turned his head and sneezed, returned little Ayue to the child's father, and said, "Wanwang forgive me. "

Zaozi defended little Ah Yue desperately, Lei Shounuo's opponent also stopped pestering him, he rushed to Zaozi's side, and protected the father and son behind him.

His subordinates unfolded the note in the kit and read: "The moon-white phoenix is ​​a gift from heaven. This son will save Jinfeng's life in the future. Keeping him safe is to keep the crown prince and emperor safe. Don't hurt him." Yes. This son was born in a peasant family and ended up in a peasant family. This is his destiny. He only gave Jinfeng one life, and there will be no entanglements after that. Remember not to disturb me. Leave the medicine bottle I handed over to you and you can return to Beijing. Don’t reveal this. Do not report to the Holy Master, and do not return to investigate."

The leader pondered for a moment, then suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of little Ah Yue, "You are both the prince and our nobles, I have offended you so much just now, and I am willing to take the blame!" He untied his sword and presented it in front of little Ah Yue .Lei Shounuo drew out his sword and put it directly on the leader's neck, "Speak clearly."

The other men in red knelt down one after another and presented their swords, "We are guilty of the same crime!"

Lei Shounuo said sharply, "Say!"

It turned out that these people were Jin Yiwei sent by the palace to find the prince's marriage. Although they missed their fate, they were still ordered by the emperor to go south to search, and they came to Gaoliang County this month.Then I learned from other people that there was a brother in Mei's house with a very strange birthmark on his neck, so he rushed to verify it.

Zaozi has been secretly relieved for a long time, the proof of the marriage is indeed the birthmark of the phoenix pattern, fortunately, the birthmark of the marriage is golden, so the moon-white birthmark of little Ah Yue does not count.So according to Qin Tianjian's message, little Ayue is just a nobleman who can find the golden phoenix, and has nothing to do with the royal family.That's good, that's great.

After explaining the reason clearly, Lei Shounuo didn't care about them, as long as Zaozi and his son are fine, after all, they are people from the palace, so there is no need to offend them.

Lei Shounuo said: "Master Qin Tianjian also said that my son was born in a farm family and will spend his whole life in a farm family. You must not interfere."

The red-clothed man who took the lead solemnly responded, and then took out an exquisite white jade bottle, but the size of a palm, "This is the medicine bottle that Lord Qin Tianjian carried in his bag, and it contains two soul-returning pills. Your Majesty."

Lei Shounuo accepted the bottle, and said: "As long as you don't come to hinder us, this bottle will be safe and sound until the Crown Prince Huang Ada appears."

……

The man in red came and went in a hurry.But within a day, the Mei family returned to its usual calm.If there was not a bottle kept under the bed, Zaozi would have thought it was just a dream.

Lei Shounuo comforted: "Aren't you always worried about your son's birthmark? You can rest assured now, Qin Tianjian's words are something even the emperor has to listen to."

Zaozi slowed down, "I hope that the crown prince Huang Ada will show up soon. According to the words of Lord Qin Tianjian, as long as Ah Yue saves Huang Ada's life, everything will be fine."

After the red-clothed man left, Little Daddy Mei came to ask: "What are those guests here for?" Little Daddy Mei happened to be visiting that day, so he didn't hear any movement in the room here.

The people outside also thought that the seven people who came on horseback were guests, just like the desk.

Neither Lei Shounuo nor Zaozi could tell the truth, because the red-clothed man had solemnly confessed before leaving that the matter was related to the royal family and could not be publicized.So I had no choice but to deal with it, saying that I was here to discuss business, and I was eager to ask for dried longan and dried lychees from the village.

Mei Xiaodi said: "Our dried fruit is all ordered by Zhu's family, how can we give it as we please."

Lei Shounuo said along the way: "Let's just say it, so I rejected them all. They seem to be really eager to ask for it. Look, I said here that no one rushed to the next place immediately."

Mei Xiaodi nodded and said: "That's good. It's fine if people leave. If you are famous for your business, there will always be a few people who come here because you are famous. Just politely decline. By the way, another family invited me to go fishing in the next county, and you all come too. Is it?"

Zaozi was worried about the matter of the crown prince Huang Ada, so he couldn't cheer up, so he had no choice but to say nothing.

But worry is nothing but worry, life is no different from usual.

It's just that the government stopped looking for sons with special birthmarks, why they were looking, why they weren't looking anymore, the people in the government didn't say anything from the beginning to the end.Everyone understands, it seems that the prince's Huang Ada is no longer in our county, what a pity.

Some people knew about the child with the phoenix pattern birthmark in Meifu, and thought that he would get this good luck, but...everyone saw it.If it's really Huang Ada, it's impossible for the government to be silent!What a big deal to welcome the future queen back to the palace!

However, there are also people who disagree, maybe it is really a child of Meifu, and it will only be announced to the world after arriving safely at the palace.It's a pity that the people in Magu Village proved his idea wrong, because little Ayue chased after his big white goose every day and didn't go anywhere.

Anyway, there are different opinions in the county and in the village, waiting for another county town to have an emperor to celebrate with the whole world, and waiting for little Ah Yue to grow up to win the honor of his county.

These are all casual words, and after a few months pass, there will be no movement or news from other counties in the palace, and no one will think about it anymore.

……

Day after day passed, autumn and winter came, and in a blink of an eye, it was hot summer.The cicadas were crawling in the branches and leaves of the tree trunks, singing and singing like they were hanging out.

The Mei family is still safe and happy, little Ayue is still growing fast and well, and life has returned to the original leisurely life.

And a certain casino owner... still stayed in the village.

Some unmarried men in the village came to complain to Zaozi, "Why don't people from other villages leave?"

Zaozi is also strange, the desk has been here for more than half a year, don't you need to worry about outside business?After searching for a day, he went to the thatched cottage to talk to the desk, "Brother desk, where is your casino business?"

The desk has just learned to weave straw sandals, and is working hard, pursing his lips and smiling: "I sold it, I want to be a serious person for a long time, brother wants to drive me away?"

Zaozi shook her head quickly, "No, I'm just worried about you."

"I'm older than you, what should you worry about?" Putting down the straw sandals on the desk, he took out a candied hawthorn from the jar next to the bed, and teased little Ah Yue to come and get it.For some reason, Zaozi felt a little lonely from the demeanor of the desk brother.

"Brother at the desk... tell me."

"say what?"

"Tell me something that's been on your mind."

"..." The desk put the hawthorn into little Ah Yue's hands, and the smile gradually faded.

Zaozi was a little embarrassed, so she took the straw sandals and helped to weave them.

The desk sighed, "It's not a big deal when you think about it." He chuckled, "It's just that I can't have a baby."

Zaozi paused and looked at him in surprise, "This!"

The desk was reclining on the simple bamboo bed, fanning the wind gently with a cattail fan, with a calm and breezy look, "Did the head of your family tell you that when the Jin family was brought down, I took the gold?" A martial arts master hired by the family as a subordinate?" Zaozi nodded, Lei Ge did mention it.

"I fell in love with him later. Unfortunately, when I was about to get married, I found out that I couldn't have children."

"He despises you?" Zaozi suddenly became depressed.

The desk shook its fan, "No, he didn't say anything, but I know he really wants a child. So I told him, let's go and find someone else."

Zaozi was speechless, and burst out laughing at the desk, "I'm different from you, you and your Brother Lei are in love with each other, and you have liked each other from the beginning, I am not with that iron block, I just got drunk all night It’s only after that. Understand? What happened after getting drunk.” Zaozi nodded with a blushing face.

"I don't believe him." The desk was spread out on the bed, and he murmured, "I never believed that he would only look at me all the time, so I thought, let's get married and have seven or eight more children, and he will definitely stay for it Yes. It’s a pity, God refuses to fulfill my wish, ha, ha ha..."

Zaozi felt a little sad when he heard that, and asked, "Maybe he doesn't care about the child?"

Little Ah Yue took a small bite of the hawthorn, her little face wrinkled into a ball, climbed onto the bed and stuffed the hawthorn into the mouth of the desk.Chewing the hawthorn on the desk, he said, "If you don't care, why haven't you come to me for half a year?"

Zaozi was suddenly unable to answer.The desk looked at him and said: "This hawthorn is really sour. I used a jar of sugar, but it was still sour and bitter. It was so bitter."

Will hawthorn be sour and bitter?Zaozi doesn't know, he only knows that this seemingly frivolous and strong brother is actually more sensitive than anyone else in his heart.

The desk later ran down the mountain and lived there for two days. When he came back, he carried a big bamboo basket on his back, bang bang bang.

He ran into Mei's house, just in time for dinner.Lei Shounuo was feeding little Ah Yue fish, and he didn't even give him a look.Zaozi took out the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen and invited him to eat together.

"Boss Lei, I promise you to give gifts to your two precious lumps, and the gifts are here now." He opened the cloth on the bamboo basket as if offering treasures, first took out a brocade box, opened it, and it was a Goose feathers made of gold, every inch of feathers are lifelike, as thin as paper.Undoubtedly, it must belong to little Ah Yue.

"There's one more." Lei Shounuo teased.

"Of course there is, boss." He produced a bottle.Zaozi's eyes lit up—wine!

Desk: "Western region products, wine made from grapes, this bottle is a special glass bottle made locally in the Western Regions. There are ten bottles in total, all of which belong to your family."
