Bianshanhan [farming]

By the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the two sheep sent by Zhou Congxin were all gone, no matter whether they were mutton or sheep bones.

Li Qingrui and the others finally made a decision to let Li Qinghong stay in the capital and open a restaurant specializing in selling sheep and scorpions. Li Qingwen also picked up a few dishes that were not difficult and appetizing.

Old man Du counted several rented shops outside the alley, and talked about their advantages and disadvantages. They couldn't even get out of the door, and began to talk about which shop was more suitable, and how to arrange the inside after renting...

If Li Qinghong stays, some of Li Qingjiu and the others will not be able to leave. This is what their mothers told Chen Shi before departure.

Where to buy the tables, chairs and benches in the store, which market to buy sheep is better and cheaper, what kind of lanterns to hang at the door... a bunch of people who have never had a few meals in restaurants before, are now eagerly thinking about it When I got up, the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, as if a shop had opened before my eyes.

Li Qingwen didn't discuss these things with them all the time, he still had to study and practice calligraphy under the nose of his second brother.

Except for teaching Li Qingwen, Li Qingzhuo spent most of his time studying. When he was studying, he was very devoted, as if he was in a book, completely isolating the chaos of the outside world.

Li Qingwen could concentrate on studying like this for more than an hour, and he would not be able to hold on for a long time, but his second brother seemed not to be bothered by this at all. Li Qingwen thought, this may be the difference between really liking and studying for the sake of learning.

He is obviously the little duck who drove the ducks to the shelves, but the brothers all think that he is the material for learning, which is really puzzling to the extreme.

These days, the outside seems to have stopped, but there are more officers and soldiers patrolling. I don't know if it is a good sign or a bad sign.

But fortunately, this happened during the Chinese New Year, and every household has bought goods for many years, and they can eat while squatting at home without going out, otherwise it would be difficult.

After making so many dumplings, they finally ate buckwheat noodles. Li Qingwen thought it tasted good and liked it very much. Others also thought it was good, better than sorghum noodles, not as fine as white noodles, but they didn't eat white noodles once or twice. up.

Li Qingwen originally planned to ask Lao Zhang where it came from after the ban was lifted, but now it is no longer necessary, old man Du knows the origin of the black noodles, "Buckwheat, something from the northwest, has been passed to the capital for several years , It’s not a new thing, it’s been around for a long time, but it’s not the name, it’s not the medicine…”

The people below racked their brains to bring new and novel things to the capital. Where there are so many new things, many of them just gave people new names to fool people.

Knowing that there are buckwheat seeds for sale in the capital, Li Qingwen is satisfied.

Originally, I was talking about the shop that had not been leased yet, but as I was talking, I didn’t know why I mentioned the border town. Everyone showed a look of homesickness. They had been away for almost two months, and they didn’t know what was going on at home.

The water in the pot was hot, Fang filled it out, and put the hot water basin in the brightest and warmest place in the house.

Li Qingwen let his hair loose, bent over to wash his hair, Li Qingzhuo scrubbed it for him, his fingers were a little cold, completely different from Jiang Cong's.

With his head stuck in the basin, Li Qingwen thought to himself, there should be nothing wrong with the pier, it's fine for these people to fight in the capital, it's impossible to fight three hundred miles away.

When he thought about it, the fierce fighting at the pier was over, the ground was covered with blood, piles of corpses were pulled away, and the red-stained water washed away cleanly.

Xiao cavalry army and government soldiers each suffered casualties. They captured the rebels who were trying to escape by boat, and escorted them back to Beijing immediately.

The Hongzhou government soldiers made great contributions in intercepting the rebels. Lin Jian told them that they would definitely report to the emperor and reward them for their merits.

Until now, Ding Jie and the others don't know who the emperor he is talking about, they only want the court to give more funeral money to the dead and injured brothers.

Jiang Cong kept his head buried in bandaging the wounds of the injured, and sometimes took the time to look in the direction of the capital. He now knew that the inside and outside of the capital were being guarded like iron barrels, and he couldn't sneak into the capital to find Li Qingwen.

Now, the only thing he can do is to hope that the mutiny does not reach the outer city, and that Li Qingwen and the others are fine.

Jiang Cong's dark eyes stared at the northwest direction.

The north wind was blowing, and the sea was advancing and retreating. At this time, there was a sound of groaning and groaning at the pier by the sea.

"Nephew." Cui Wu took the medicine and lay down on the ground, his complexion much better than before, "It's fortunate that you shot their leader to death with one arrow, or more people would have fallen here, this time you take the credit , will surely be exonerated.”

Jiang Cong shook his head, "Uncle, it is a crime for me to board a boat and come to the capital privately in exile. The guilt comes first, and the meritorious service comes later. You have to hide it."

Jiang Cong thought about this very clearly. The reason why he didn't hide away like other crew members was because he didn't want to watch these uncles and brothers suffer in the chaos.

Cui Wu sighed heavily, Jiang Cong is the most outstanding one in their generation, but it happened to be involved in this matter, alas...

After washing his hair, Li Qingwen wiped it himself with a cloth towel, and Li Qingzhuo continued to wash the children. He carefully wrapped a large cloth around the collar, lest he would feel uncomfortable if his clothes got wet.

Children are not afraid of water at all, and blow bubbles in the basin.

Watching the second brother scrubbing the baby's ears and neck, Li Qingwen thought, if the second brother had children, it would probably be like this.

After basking in the sun for a long time, Li Qingwen's hair was almost dry, while the little doll sitting next to him had already combed her bun.

This is the problem with long and dense hair.

Li Qingwen and Xiaowa sat in the sunny place by the door, he sat on a big bench, and the kid across from him made a small bench, Li Qingzhuo combed Li Qingwen's hair, the teeth brushing his scalp felt so comfortable, Li Qingwen stared and nodded.

The little baby tilted his head to watch him doze off, thinking it was interesting, he followed suit bit by bit, he was imitating Li Qingwen.

As they lit, the heads of one big and one small bumped into each other, one pouted in aggrieved way, and the other covered his head and cried out in pain.

The other people in the room stopped talking a long time ago, and just watched when the two of them would "meet", and it was considered that they had waited, and they laughed uncontrollably.

Li Qingwen held the child in his arms, rubbed his chin on the top of his head non-stop, and muttered: "Let me see why your head is so hard..."

There were tears in the child's eyes, and Li Qingwen gave up on him after whimpering twice.

One big and one small were drowsy from the sun, and rolled onto the bed before their hair was combed.

Seeing Li Qingzhuo close the door, Fang said in a low voice, "Little Zai'er is like a child, he fell asleep as soon as he said he was going to sleep."

"He hasn't slept well these nights." Li Qinghong said.

They all knew that although Li Qingwen was young, he had a lot of things on his mind, and he was obviously worried about the border town, Jiang Cong and their current situation.

While talking, Li Qingrui saw a carriage coming outside the door, and stopped at their door.

Everyone was stunned, before they could push the door, the two officers and soldiers who had been guarding outside stopped the person who got off the car, as if they were questioning him.

When Li Qingrui and Li Qingzhuo went out, the man stopped by the officers and soldiers was very young, thin and tall, and he was dressed very formally...

They were sizing up, when the person who came finally raised his head, he was really young, with handsome features, his eyes were a bit long, and the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, just looking at these eyes, he felt that he was a shrewd master.

When the visitor saw the Li family brothers in the yard, he stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I'm Su Shuqing, it's really helpless to visit the door rashly, please forgive me if I disturb you."

Brother Li Qingrui didn't know why he was here, they said "Where is that?", they hurriedly opened the door and invited him in.

"To be honest, I'm looking for my lost nephew. I went to the yamen to ask for it. They said that a child who was about the same age as my nephew was found by people from Wisteria Alley..." Su Shuqing squinted at Li as he spoke. brothers, as if trying to find answers in their faces.

It turned out to be the child's family member, and the Li family brothers looked stunned, "You are the uncle of the little baby, he is sleeping in the house, come in and talk."

In the hut, two people, one big and one small, were fast asleep on the bed. Su Shuqing saw the little baby sitting by the bed, touching that chubby face, and sighed long.

After a long time, he got up, closed the door again, and solemnly thanked Li Qingrui and the others, "I'm busy with business, and I haven't come home for many days. The old servant at home didn't take care of this child and let him run out. Fortunately, I met him." You, little nephew, can be safe and sound, this kindness, I will definitely remember it in my heart."

"It's okay, it's okay, children, they are restless, it's strange not to run outside, but this kid has run too far, we haven't found your house after searching for several miles..."

Originally, Li Qingrui and the others were blaming the child's family in their hearts, and they didn't rush out to look for the child's loss. But as they got closer, they saw Su Shuqing's tired face, pale lips, and red eyes. I have been suffering a lot these days, and I can't speak the words of blame for a while.

Su Shuqing found his nephew, so he was not in a hurry, he wanted to thank the Li family, he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he wobbled a few times, and was about to fall to the ground.

Li Qingrui grabbed his clothes, and the others were startled, and quickly lifted him up.

Su Shuqing was carried to lie down next to his nephew, Li Qingzhuo felt his pulse, and then said to the people next to him: "It's nothing serious, the Qi and blood are deficient, it should be because I haven't slept for many days and I didn't drink rice, people can't carry it." Living."

As soon as she heard that she was hungry, Fang turned around and went to make porridge, sighing while washing the rice, the lost baby got fatter after eating, and the missing person fainted from hunger...

It would take a while for the porridge to be cooked, and after checking that he was fine, everyone went out.

Old man Du blinked his small eyes, lowered his voice, and said, "I didn't hear the order to lift the seal, the whole city is still under martial law, how could he run out to find someone..."

The Li family was taken aback for a moment, they all forgot about martial law.
