continuation [farming]

After dinner, Xia He wanted to collect the remaining two pieces of corn fields, and when he went to ask Jin Bao for help, Jin Bao started cheating.

The little baby vaguely knew what Xia He was trying to do, tried to open her eyes wide, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aren't the other two pieces of land useless?"

Xia He nodded his forehead, frowned and said: "Why is it useless? Are you going to waste so much corn? It's not easy to get every grain of this grain. How can you say no to it?" Don't you want it?"

Jin Bao also followed Xia He, had seen him work, and knew how tiring the work in the field was, Xia He explained this truth to him, Jin Bao thought about it, and immediately understood.

But understanding does not mean that Jin Bao will obediently follow to help, the little baby rolled his eyes, and said again: "Uncle, hurry up, Jin Bao will help you take care of father!" Father get well!"

It was the time of the day when the sun was at its highest, Xia He sweated a lot, and seeing Jin Bao keep crawling into the shade, she thought it was a baby who was afraid of the heat, so she could only let out a sigh and let Jin Bao go.

It didn't matter how Jin Bao showed courtesy to Li Mu, like Xia He pressed Li Mu's waist, and Xia He went to pick his corn with the basket on his back.

After finishing his work, he looked back at Li Mu, only to see Jin Bao standing by the bed as if he had done something wrong, and Li Mu's waist seemed to be hurt even more seriously.

Xia He hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

Jin Bao apologized softly: "I was wrong."

"It's nothing." Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained to Xia He that it turned out that Jin Bao wanted to press his waist, but the little baby was too weak to use it, so he just sat on Li Mu's buttocks for some reason. waist.

Even for the youngest child, sitting down without seriousness really made Li Mu's back hurt even more.Hearing Li Mu's gasp, Jin Bao came down in a panic, and before Li Mu could say anything, he stood on the side with his hands down and his head down as if being punished, and he didn't dare to look at Li Mu. glance.

Li Mu is still a little strange, is he so scary?

Xia He had no choice but to run to the old doctor in the village to get a plaster for removing blood stasis and relieving pain, and put it on Li Mu's waist.Then he wanted to take Jin Bao away, but Jin Bao turned his back on him: "Uncle, the medicine stinks!"

As soon as Xia He smelled her hand that smelled of plaster, seeing Jin Bao wrinkling his nose, she let him go.

With this injury, Li Mu had no choice but to continue eating on the bed.Xia He told him not to worry, followed behind Jin Bao, went to Aunt Lin to explain the situation, and after a while, brought food over.

Smelling the smell of medicine in his nostrils and eating, and lying on his stomach again, Li Mu had a bad appetite, so he only ate a little.

Xia He disliked it: "I'm afraid that Jin Bao eats more than you."

"Jin Bao still needs to grow, so of course he needs to eat more." Li Mu said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Jin Bao's baby name has been around for a few years, so it's time to give him a proper name."

"Brother Mu, have you thought about it?" Xia He asked yes.

Li Mu shook his head: "Before we leave next year, entrust Jin Bao to Mr. Ling, let Jin Bao enlighten in the academy, and ask Mr. Ling to give Jin Bao a name."

"We can't take Jin Bao to Liang Jing, can we?" Xia He was actually a bit reluctant.

If it was said who he missed the most during the few months he went to Qingyang, it would probably be Jin Bao.The little baby is still ignorant, how can you feel relieved when you are a parent who travels far away?Although Xia He is Jin Bao's uncle, since he wants to spend the rest of his life with Li Mu, he naturally wants to raise Jin Bao as his own.

"Of course not." Li Mu said clearly.

Xia He also knew that it would be inappropriate to carry the child to such a far place and face that uncle who was staring at her like a tiger.He curled his lips and said, "I'm just thinking about it."

Li Mudao said: "You don't have to worry, Mr. Ling is someone I can absolutely trust. He will treat Jin Bao well."

"Well, it's safer than going to Liang Jing with Jin Bao's grandmother at home." Xia He nodded.

Then Xia He seemed to think of something, and asked, "If we have to wait until we harvest the corn next year, Brother Mu, will you stay at home this year? Will it delay your study?"

"No." Li Mu can't be said to be confident now, but he is sure, "I will ask Mr. Ling more." It is not acceptable to have the status of a Juren, and it has to be recognized by the government school, so every candidate who wants to continue to make progress will gather in the government school.

Thanks to Li Tonghe's blessing, Li Mu has already obtained the examination certificate in advance, so naturally he doesn't have to spend time in government school.Furthermore, Li Mu also looked down on the rigidity and rigidity of the government school.Every move of the people in the government school is for the purpose of taking the exam, but it seems to be putting the cart before the horse, forgetting that these scholars should study for the well-being of the world.

Li Mu didn't want to talk about these things with Xia He, but instead pointed out to Xia He: "It's an eventful time, after you and I arrive in Liang Jing, we still need to be careful in everything. The people we can entrust, except In addition to being fair, there must be one more thing, he has to be biased long ago if he does not seek the merit of following the dragon. Otherwise, I am worried that this thing of yours will be taken away and regarded as the merit of a certain prince."

Xia He was a little confused when he heard that, he guessed, and clarified his meaning to Li Mu: "You mean, you have to find someone who doesn't care who the next emperor is, right?"

"Exactly." Li Mu nodded.

Xia He frowned, and said: "But, if he is a good person, he would naturally hope that a good prince can sit on the throne, right?"

Li Mu smiled, shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry. A sensible person, even if he has his own heart, would not stand behind any highness." There will be no current situation.Now Liang Jing is like a mess, the best policy is to protect oneself wisely.

What's more, he doesn't think that those who jump out early and fight for it will be the final winners.

Enjoying Xia He's pushing and rubbing, Li Mu sighed and analyzed the situation for Xia He.There are some things that he never thought of telling Xia He, but now that he has decided to support each other with Xia He instead of Li Mu going alone and protecting Xia He, then he will tell Xia He Let's talk about it: "How much do you know about the unjust case of the Zhang family?"

Xia He was taken aback, but didn't dare to make a promise: "I only know what my father said to me. What's the matter?"

Ever since Zhang Shiyi no longer had to hide his life experience from Xia He, he often whispered it in his ear.It's just that Zhang Shiyi was also raised in the south when he was a child, far away from home, and he knew very little about the family affairs, most of which he heard from Taoist Ziji and learned from letters.Xia He only knew that his grandfather was a great Confucian who was once a teacher of the emperor.He has ten uncles, all of whom are capable men and are very prestigious in the entire Jia Dynasty.

Although these remarks are too far away from Xia Hedu, he actually can't imagine what kind of scenery it used to be.

Li Mu could only say: "In that incident, if anyone was at fault, the Xue family's fault was only three points."

Xia He was taken aback, it was obviously the Xue family's slander that caused the Zhang family's tragedy?

"The other five points are up to His Majesty. If His Majesty hadn't been suspicious, he wouldn't have been so hasty to be sentenced to death." These words can be called treason, Li Mu has never said it, but now he doesn't want Xia He to be too aggressive, so naturally he has to give it to him It is better to explain in advance, "The last two points... If Mr. Zhang could avoid the edge, I am afraid that he could have avoided this disaster."

Speaking of this, Li Mu shook his head and said with a smile: "But if you know how to avoid it, then you are not Mr. Zhang. Xia He, although your father-in-law always said that you are not like the Zhang family, but I think that you The straight-forward temperament is in the same line as the Zhang family."

Xia He pondered over it, and said it more disrespectfully than Li Mu: "It's like, when an aggressive person meets a narrow-minded person, and then the narrow-minded person is incited by a bad-minded person to do bad things, then the aggressive person... ..."

How to say it seems to be a matter among women in the streets and alleys, Li Mu couldn't laugh or cry, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, if you want to understand it this way, it's not impossible."

Xia He figured it out, frowned, and hated the old emperor: "Then...then how can I avenge this hatred? Do I have to learn martial arts first, and when the time comes in the Golden Palace..."

"Xia He!" Seeing that Xia He's exaggeration became more and more exaggerated, Li Mu hurriedly stopped, "This is such a mess, what do you want to do..."

Xia He looked at Li Mu rather strangely, and said: "Is it possible that it is not right? You said it, the emperor's fault is more." Xia He played a small child in the countryside, and his fear of the emperor's power was not so real , after all, the Ninth Five Supreme is too far away from him.

Li Mu sighed, but felt that he had said it: "Xia He, I want to tell you that you'd better be like me, and make plans after today's death."

After Li Mu said this, Xia He regained his rationality. After thinking about it, it was indeed his thoughts that were too horrifying.

"Then let's go and tell the next emperor that it was the grandfather who was slandered by the Xue family?" Xia He took a step back and said yes. After thinking about it, Xia He asked again, "But this new emperor should not have experienced such How could you trust us?"

"At the beginning, the person surnamed Xue forged the letter of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Taoist Ziji obtained a letter from the Xue family, which can prove that the original letter of collaborating with the enemy was made by the Xue family. But he also knows well that what happened back then With His Majesty's connivance behind it, I didn't immediately show the evidence to your father, for fear that he would recklessly go to Beijing to call for grievances. That letter is in my mother's hands right now." Li Mu said yes.

Although the proof of a letter is a little weak, but since there are doubts, as long as the new emperor has doubts, it will be easy to handle.Xia He patted his chest, and then realized that his thinking was too simple, but luckily Li Mu was still there.

Li Mu said again: "My clan brother... Li Yun, do you still remember him?"

"Of course I remember." Xia He nodded, speaking of which he was still very grateful to Li Yun, if Li Yun hadn't been the first to marry as a man, the village probably didn't know that men could marry.Fortunately, with him in front, after he changed back into men's clothes and said that he was still Li Mu's man, there was no big reaction in the village.

"He said that we need to collect more criminal evidence against the Xue family. Some of them are related to your family, and some have nothing to do with your family. But no matter what, the Xue family deserves it." Li Mu reassured Xia He, although Li Yun There has been no movement for a long time, and he doesn't know whether this clan brother can be relied on in the end.

Xia He's eyes widened. She never thought that the married man would actually have such thoughts: "Then his husband is willing?"

Li Mu shook his head, he didn't care about the bad debt between Li Yun and Qin Fan.

Xia He rubbed the back of his head, and didn't care about it anymore.It's just that he has some idea in his mind, the more evidence of the Xue family's crimes, the more dissatisfied the new emperor will be with the Xue family, and the greater the possibility of rehabilitating himself.The man beside him was so reliable, Xia He was happy for a moment, and almost wanted to pounce on him, but fortunately, he smelled the smell of medicine, and only then remembered that this man was still injured.Xia He held back, and only placed a light kiss on Li Mu's lips.

Then he saw that Li Mu's ears were turning red.
