After the cannon fodder fell into my arms

eleven,

"Hmm..." Xie Changyue sniffed, and then rushed towards Gu Siyuan like a small firecracker.

Gu Siyuan held him in his arms with both arms, and kissed the top of his black hair lightly, with all kinds of tenderness.

Xie Changyue's small face rubbed against her husband's hard chest.

Until Gu Er paid the driver and sent him away, the two of them were still close together.

Gu Er didn't care about the young couple, and went to the village by himself. He and Fu Lang haven't seen each other for a long time...

After an unknown amount of time, the two held hands and went to the village. Xie Changyue was bouncing around happily, and asked casually, "Husband, you have stayed in Fucheng for so long, has the government examination already happened?"

Gu Siyuan nodded: "Yes."

Xie Changyue looked at her husband, and said hesitantly: "Then you..." In fact, her husband's emotions are completely invisible, and his mood is far stronger than that of ordinary people. It is hard for him, the pillow person who gets along day and night, to see it.

Gu Siyuan squeezed his thin white fingers and said casually: "About tomorrow, the county government will send someone to announce the good news."

Xie Changyue's eyes widened, and she immediately understood, she couldn't control herself and jumped on Gu Siyuan: "Your husband is indeed the most powerful."

Both the county examination and the government examination are just the forefront of the imperial examination, also known as the boy's examination, and the government's attention to it is ranked later.

Only the case leaders of the two trials can receive unparalleled attention, and the local government will send people to the door to announce the good news and deliver documents.

That is to say, Gu Siyuan is still the case leader in this hospital examination.

As soon as the two of them entered the gate of Gu's courtyard, Xie Changyue yelled at Mu Xia: "Father, father, this time your husband is taking the test again."

Mu Xia came out from the house, smiled and nodded, indicating that he already knew.

A few figures also appeared from the side of the big room.

Mr. Gu looked at Gu Siyuan and Gu Er and the others with complicated expressions. If there are two promising descendants in other people's families, they will only be happy, but in the Gu family, it is more awkward, because they did not pay much attention to Gu Yang in the past, and even despised him. .

But in the end, the complicated emotions turned into a smile: "Yang'er is really good, and he won the first case."

The old lady Gu also said warmly: "Yeah, Yang'er has already passed the Tongsheng exam, so it's time to treat the villagers to dinner. Last year, after your eldest brother passed the exam, he also invited him."

Gu Siyuan didn't answer, but looked at his father and father instead.

Gu Er met his son's eyes, and remembered the smug smiles on the faces of his elder brother and sister-in-law at the banquet last year, and the elder brother patted him on the shoulder, and said those words that seemed to be comforting but were actually sarcastic.

Ah……

However, in just one year, those shadows had already vanished when Zizi County tried the case, so why should he care too much about it.

Gu Er looked at his parents and shook his head: "Forget it, Yang'er has to take the exam in August, so don't delay this time, let him study with peace of mind."

The two old men were taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect the second son, who was always honest and obedient, to refute their meaning like this.

The two had scruples about Gu Siyuan, who was famous for his fame, but their faces sank on the spot when it came to their second son.

Seeing this, Li Xiangtao seemed to have turned on some switch, and immediately began to sneer: "Humph, second child, everyone in the village praises you for being honest, but I really don't see it now, I think my son is a big deal if he passed the first case exam, so don't Put your parents in your eyes."

"Hmph, not to mention my father's filial piety. Everyone in the village knows it. Auntie, why did I smell a sour smell first? Don't tell me the kitchen knocked over the vinegar jar. The case is nothing special, so why doesn't your son test the case?" , Don't you like it?" Hearing this, Xie Changyue said unwillingly to be outdone.

"You..." Li Xiangtao jumped up angrily, and pointed at him, "You, what nonsense are you talking about, Zhen'er is unlucky, unlike Gu Yang, who knows that Zhen'er is good, so he deliberately doesn't take the same exam as him , It was a year late, and I was lucky enough to win the first case."

"..." Gu Siyuan.

Really think.

Xie Changyue sneered: "Oh, why don't you say that my husband is seven months younger than your son? Isn't it right to be a year later?"

"Also, I didn't say that, your son's luck is really bad. The county examination was unlucky and he didn't win the case. The government examination was also unlucky and he didn't win the case. The hospital examination in August won't be even worse. , by then it won't even be on the list, it will be interesting, haha...haha..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Gu Er and Mu Xia also had smiles on their faces when they heard these witty words.

"You...you dare to curse me, Zhen'er?" Li Xiangtao's complexion changed drastically, his eyes were full of anger, and he was about to rush towards Xie Changyue: "I tore your mouth."

Gu Siyuan took a step forward, just blocking her way, with an extremely stern expression on his face.

Li Xiangtao took a few steps back after seeing him, pointing at Xie Changyue: "You...you wait for me."

Xie Changyue made a face at her: "Just wait, who is afraid of you, if you dare to scold me or touch me, I will sue my husband."

After finishing speaking, like a victorious cock, he followed Gu Siyuan with his head held high and left.

The old man and the old lady felt a pain in their brains when they saw the flickering scene.

Every time you speak well, you can always make a fuss.

The eldest daughter-in-law was a little bit tongue-in-cheek, but the second room was too unreasonable every time, especially the little brother Changyue. Fortunately, Zhen'er was not married at the beginning.

……

The good news of the government examination arrived at Huangyang Village at noon the next day, and it aroused another round of onlookers.

Many villagers gathered around Gu Er and Mu Xia to say good things, and the elders of the clan also came and wanted to have a drink to celebrate, but after hearing that Gu Siyuan had to take the college entrance examination in August, he didn't want to be impetuous since then. Had to give up this plan.

At the same time, Gu Siyuan's reputation has also resounded throughout Tongzhou. In the past, there was a "filial piety machine" for the benefit of the people, and later there were county and government trial leaders.

The ancients valued fame, but they also valued strength. Wouldn't it be more desirable to have such a person who has both.

In this way, if Master Zhizhou is knowledgeable and interesting, he may be happy to fulfill his reputation as a small three yuan.

But for Gu Siyuan, life has not changed much. He is still studying and husband every day, calm and busy.

From the end of April to May in the blink of an eye, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

The academy started to have field vacation again, but this time, for some reason, Gu Gu didn't go back to Huangyang Village like in previous years, but stayed in Tongzhou.

Regarding this, the Gu family had mixed feelings, but it didn't concern Gu Siyuan.

Xie Changyue ran in excitedly with a booklet in hand: "Husband, sure enough, the soaked and sterilized corn seeds are completely different from the ones that were planted directly."

Gu Siyuan looked up at him: "Let me check your records."

Xie Changyue handed over the notebook, which was drawn one by one, with horizontal and vertical titles. This is the recording method Gu Siyuan taught him at the beginning. It is indeed much more convenient. No matter what the key words are, they can be seen clearly at a glance.

In late March this year, the first season of corn was planted. It has been more than two months since the stalks, branches and leaves have grown. Due to the expansion of the planting area, various symptoms have gradually appeared.

Among them, seeds that have been soaked and mixed with warm water, white vinegar, tung oil, etc. before planting will either have fewer diseases, grow faster, or have stronger survival ability such as drought resistance.

However, the batch of seeds in Gu Siyuan's hand are of the highest quality, so they also have a certain degree of resistance. Generally speaking, the growth is still acceptable.

Gu Siyuan returned the booklet to him and nodded: "Well done, I remember it in detail."

Xie Changyue hugged his arm happily, Rainbow fart: "Husband is even more powerful. He actually thought of such a simple and clear recording method. If those accountants see it, they will be astonished."

Gu Siyuan glanced at him with a smile, and pinched his small and delicate chin with his fingers: "It's really good, I can already infer other things from one instance."

"Yeah." Xie Changyue smiled with crooked eyes, like a smug little fox.

Gu Siyuan looked a little greedy, lowered his head and kissed his white eyelids, then slowly moved down to the tip of his nose, to his red lips, hugged him face to face and sat down on his lap.

I don't know how long it took before the lips of the two slowly separated.

Xie Changyue hugged her husband's neck with both hands, leaned on his shoulder, panted slightly, and murmured: "Husband, thank you."

This is not acting like a baby, nor is it a confession, but a sincere thank you.

Thank you for changing relatives and marrying each other, thank you for cherishing and pampering him for a year, and thank you for showing him a completely different world.

It took a long time for Xie Changyue to hear a deep and familiar "hmm".

The leaves on the tree are getting greener, and when you look closely, you almost have the illusion that they are so green that they reflect light.

Time also entered the end of June, and Qi Juren even felt that there was nothing to say about Gu Siyuan's policy.

After class at the academy that day, Gu Siyuan looked at Wang Xu: "I said it was good, I need your help with something."

When Wang Xu rolled his eyes, he immediately remembered, his eyes brightened and he said, "What did you make again?"

Gu Siyuan shook his head: "It's my husband."

Wang Xu curled his lips: "What can the little brother do..."

Gu Siyuan looked at him coldly: "Do you still want to continue listening, otherwise, Changyue will go back to Beijing to seek help from Suining Bofu, or I'll report to the county magistrate."

Wang Xu hurriedly pulled him back: "Don't, I listen, I'll just help you."

Of course, he was so active in helping, not because their Wang family really liked the benefits, but because the magistrates of Wuqing county, including the magistrate of Tongzhou, were not in the same party as his family, and he didn't want to see their benefits for nothing.

Especially the county magistrate, who is still the eldest prince, is the biggest competitor with the fifth prince of their royal family.

I heard that because of the "filial piety" incident last year, I will be promoted back to the household department soon.

As for the Suining uncle's mansion, it usually looks neutral, but since the real brother of the family came back, he has gotten quite close to Xiao Jingchuan recently. Xiao Jingchuan is the fourth prince's companion. Who knows?

After all, His Majesty only has these three adult princes...

Gu Siyuan glanced at Wang Xu, saw that he was smiling but his eyes were deep, so he could tell what was going on in his heart.

However, that's good.

Although, he is familiar with the information of this world and knows that the Wang family has a good family style, so he is not considered a person who crosses the river and destroys bridges.

But it is stupid to put everything on the conscience of others. When one's own power is not enough, it is a good choice to let others have scruples.

The two sat in Wang Xu's carriage and rushed to Huangyang Village.

Wang Xu looked at the ruts at the entrance of the village. This was the trace of a four-horse carriage, which meant that other nobles had recently come to the village.

Gu Siyuan said lightly: "Shen Changhuan and Xiao Jingchuan came back yesterday."

Wang Xu didn't know what he was thinking, so he just laughed: "These two are a couple, and they have no scruples."

Gu Siyuan took Wang Xu into his house, and Xie Changyue happened to be in the yard, seeing him immediately rushed over excitedly: "Husband, you came back very early today."

Gu Siyuan hugged him and patted him in his arms.

Wang Xu coughed lightly: "Here's another one, thank you, it's my carriage that brought him back so quickly."

Xie Changyue looked up at Wang Xu: "Oh, thank you so much."

Wang Xuqi: "What's your attitude?"

Gu Siyuan didn't want to get involved in the argument between these two naive guys, squeezed his husband's hand, and said softly: "Take him to see the results of your hard work."

Xie Changyue's expression brightened, and she snorted: "Young Master Wang Shiliu, let's go, don't get dazzled!"

The three of them walked in the field.

Wang Xu is in a good mood. Although he has been to his own Zhuangzi many times, it still feels very different from the real countryside.

Therefore, he kept his eyes wide open all the way, looking around in a very novel way.

And when he held the corn cob in his hand, his eyes widened even more, almost into a circle: "You... You said that this thing can produce [-] catties per mu in two seasons a year? Is it just conservative? estimate?"

Although he has never been in the field, he has read a lot of books, including books on agriculture and water conservancy. The grain output of their northern land is still very large. Their main grain, wheat, only has an annual yield of more than 300 catties per mu.

This corn cob has doubled almost five times. How many people can it feed? Will the army be afraid of food shortages in the future, let alone disaster relief...

It was discovered that it must be left in history, and it must be enshrined by the people as a living Bodhisattva.

Xie Changyue raised her eyebrows and said proudly: "When we first discovered it last year, we tried to plant a piece of land and reaped [-] catties. Now it is [-] catties per mu, isn't it normal? The two seasons add up to at least [-] catties." what is the problem?"

Wang Xu looked at them, and said with a trembling voice, "It's not that I don't believe it. This matter is very important. I'll ask someone to collect an acre of land and weigh it. Otherwise, if it is reported to the public and it is found to be deceiving the emperor, it is not a joke."

Xie Changyue had expected it a long time ago: "Get someone to harvest it, anyway, I planted three acres of land."

Wang Xu nodded.

He looked at the boy next to him: "You go to the Hui clan, ask Thirteenth Uncle to come, and bring a few people who can do farm work, as soon as possible, it is extremely urgent!"

The boy nodded and ran away.

Wang Xu stroked the corn lightly with his palm, and put it in his nose to sniff lightly: "It looks good, and it smells sweet and sweet, which is really good."

Gu Siyuan looked at him coldly: "This is the tone of your eyes, restrain yourself."

Wang Xu shook his head, and said boldly: "I can't restrain myself, this thing is ten thousand times more attractive than the most overpowering beauty."

The three talked for a while at the head of the field, and then watched several fast horses galloping towards them. The leader was the middle-aged man who Gu Siyuan saw last year who sent Wang Xu to Anping Academy.

In order to be on the safe side, the people brought by the Wang family not only broke off all the corn from an acre of land, but also rubbed it all on the spot, and directly weighed the weight of the corn kernels.

One of the servants, who looked like a housekeeper, reported to the middle-aged man: "Return to Lord Thirteen, the villain has calculated several times, and the total is 830 seven catties per mu of land."

"Okay, okay..." Wang Shisan's eyes brightened, and he looked at Gu Siyuan with burning eyes: "Young man, since you trust my Wang family, then my Wang family will be the middleman and recommend you to His Majesty. What you have done is earth-shattering. Not only the people of the world, but also the people of future generations will be deeply grateful to you."

Gu Siyuan frowned.

Lord Shisan Wang: "Young man, do you have any other requests?"

Gu Siyuan shook his head: "You may be mistaken, this corn is the fruit of my husband, Xie Changyue, and has nothing to do with me."

Wang Shisan was stunned.

Xie Changyue looked at her husband and hurriedly tugged on his sleeve.

He only planted it to make her husband happy. The seeds were given by her husband, and a lot of knowledge was also given to him by her husband. How could it all be his credit?

However, when he was outside, he would never refute her husband's opinions, and now he could only whimper and flutter his expression.

Gu Siyuan squeezed his hand, chatting to comfort him.

Wang Xu also quickly explained: "Uncle Thirteen, that's true."

Wang Shisan turned around in his mind, and finally took a deep look at Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue: "Okay, I will tell my brother the truth."

It has to be said that Xie Changyue discovered this thing, so His Majesty might be happier.

After all, what the common people seek today is nothing more than a full stomach.

Once this thing is introduced to the people, it will definitely increase the prestige of the discoverer; among the major armies in the frontier that are short of food, it will also instantly accumulate reputation, and even shake the Lord.

Tsk, in this way...

Therefore, if this person is just a brother, His Majesty must be able to sleep more peacefully, and the reward may be more generous.

It was already dark at this time.

Wang Xu and the others didn't stay any longer, and hurried back.

Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue also leisurely went back.

After arriving home, Xie Changyue was still full of anger: "Husband, I made up my mind early on."

Although after a while, he is also a smart person, probably aware of her husband's considerations, but he is still a little unwilling.

Gu Siyuan smiled lightly and pinched his cheek, the feeling was still as good as ever.

However, he deliberately frowned slightly and said: "Your face seems a little rough, no, looking at it this way, it seems that your face is a little darker than before."

"Ah..." Xie Changyue exclaimed, and hurriedly sat down in front of the bronze mirror, touching her face: "Really? Is it really dark?"

Gu Siyuan's tone was casual: "It's summer now, you have to go to the fields every day, and it's inevitable that it will be dark."

Xie Changyue looked frustrated.

He is undoubtedly a very smug little brother.

Hearing that he has turned black and his face has become rough is more uncomfortable than cutting him with a knife.

So, in an instant, he took out the ointment he made before, and hurriedly wiped it on his face, and then asked Gu Siyuan every few minutes, did he turn white?

Gu Siyuan looked up, and hummed in a fake way: "It seems...it's a little white..."

Fu Lang is so cute.

Xie Changyue was slightly satisfied, and then continued to wipe, completely forgetting about the previous things.

It wasn't until the night when Gu Siyuan was going to sleep, as usual, fondling and kissing him fondly, that Xie Changyue vaguely felt that something was wrong.

However, his body was ignited by big hands, and the stimulation wave after wave, he really couldn't continue to think too much, he could only immerse himself in the pleasure brought by the person on his body.

On the second day, Gu Siyuan went to the academy to attend classes as usual.

Wang Xu looked at the classmate who still had a face of ice cubes, and felt admiration: "You are really a powerful person."

Gu Siyuan looked at him: "You're not bad." Neng has always been like a bastard.

At noon, two Wang family members came to the academy to deliver a letter, telling Gu Siyuan and Wang Xu that Wang Shangshu had reported the matter of corn to His Majesty, and His Majesty was delighted.

Tomorrow morning, three princes will be sent to Huangyang Village with the imperial decree and people from the household department.

Gu Siyuan should be, his complexion did not change.

After returning home from class in the evening, he went to the big room, told Mr. Gu about this, and asked him to restrain the villagers. It is best to gather in one place tomorrow, or try not to go out, so as not to bump into someone nobleman.

In the past year, Mr. Gu has been shocked many times by this grandson who used to be very inconspicuous.

But the first reaction at this time was still disbelief.

It's like a daydream that their village can produce a brother like Shen Changhuan.

Now, it is actually said that the prince is coming, that is the prince, the dragon son of the emperor...

Mr. Gu held his hand, trembling all over: "Yang'er, you... Are you serious? The prince is coming?"

Gu Siyuan nodded, his expression unchanged: "Of course this is true, otherwise, what my grandson said just now, wouldn't it be deceitful? As the village head, grandfather should make preparations early, otherwise it would be inappropriate for the princes to see something Yes, not too good."

After speaking, he turned and left directly.

Seeing Gu Siyuan's attitude, Mr. Gu believed it a little bit.

He sat on the chair for a while before he recovered, and then hurried out the door.

Unexpectedly, he would still see the son and grandson of the dragon in his life.

On the second day, it happened to be the ten-day holiday of the academy, so Gu Siyuan stayed at home.

The large army of the princes traveled quite quickly. They set off from the capital early in the morning and rushed all the way to this place. It only took half a day, and it arrived at noon.

And in the morning, Du County Magistrate of Wuqing County had already brought a group of yamen servants to the village to maintain order.

Then he took the villagers directly and knelt at the entrance of the village to greet him.

On the surface, the princes were quite kind, and asked them to get up affectionately.

Then, he called Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue out and led the way to the field.

The people from the household department didn't ask for their opinions, and directly picked all the corn from the two acres of land, and then weighed them separately, one was 870 two catties, and the other was nine hundred and three catties.

The officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs knew very well what this number represented, and immediately knelt down in front of the Forbidden City, shouting long live, and congratulating His Majesty for a long life.

The villagers also knelt down in a daze.

This time, there is no longer any doubt.

After everyone got up, the eldest prince stood up and said with a smile: "Xie Fulang has contributed to the common people and the community, and the emperor specially ordered His Royal Highness to bring a reward for commendation, accept the order!"

The fourth and fifth princes glanced at him, and said as if you were the only one, relying on their age.

Gu Siyuan and Xie Changyue didn't care about the dispute between them, they were only slightly depressed, and they had to kneel down again when they stood up.

However, the content of the imperial decree that followed was very satisfactory, and all dissatisfaction was healed.

Perhaps because of Xie Changyue's elder brother status, the Holy One granted him an exceptionally generous reward. Not only did Xie Changyue be granted the title of 'Changming County Monarch', he was given the County Monarch's Mansion in Beijing, and he was rewarded with a farm in Tongzhou, a hundred acres of good land, a thousand taels of silver, and The rest of the imperial bestowed treasures vary.

The people in the village were dazzled just by listening to it, it was hard to imagine.

Xie Changyue hastily stretched out his hands respectfully, accepting the order to thank him.

After the rewards were over, the three princes rushed back to Beijing to return to their orders, and they left without even taking a sip of water, but by coincidence, they all took a deep look at Gu Siyuan before leaving, with very thought-provoking expressions.

Gu Siyuan said that he is just a person who will live on Fu Lang's soft food in the future, and he can't understand anything, and he can't understand anything.

After all the people left, the villagers no longer concealed their emotions, looking at the imperial decree in Xie Changyue's hand very eagerly.

That is an imperial decree, written by the emperor...

Not only their village, but even the people in the neighboring villages rushed to their village after hearing the news, not only wanting to see the imperial decree and the county ruler, but also wanting to see the legendary corn that can yield more than 1000 catties per mu.

However, the cornfield of Gu Er's family has been taken over by people from the household department, and the imperial army guards it every day.

However, the most restless people are not those outsiders, but the Gu family.

In the lobby of the Gu family.

"Yang'er, how can you give all the credit to Fu Lang?" The clan elder who came from nowhere spoke earnestly.

Gu Siyuan looked indifferent: "He planted this originally."

"He's already married to you. If you marry and follow your husband, what's his is yours." The clan elder frowned.

Gu Siyuan looked at him, and said nonchalantly: "Then go talk to him and let him share the credit with me. He is now the county lord, with a title and rank. I'm afraid of him and dare not offend him. You probably are Not afraid."

"..." Clan elder.

Is there such a chat?

Even if you are afraid, those who have no relatives and no reason are even more afraid...

After the clan elders returned home, Gu Siyuan turned his attention to Mr. Gu: "Grandfather, this matter is a foregone conclusion, so there is no need to ask people to do more testing."

Old man Gu's complexion was slightly pale.

He just couldn't be reconciled, such a big credit, which was enough for their Gu family to change the lintel, actually fell to a brother like this.

Why didn't Gu Yang take the credit by himself, even if he didn't want to, he could let his old bones come...

Gu Siyuan ignored the old man's thoughts, patted the corner of his clothes, stood up and walked out of the hall.

Li Xiangtao lay on the door with a slight opening, watching Gu Yang's leaving back, her eyes were bloodshot, she couldn't sleep for several days.

Why, why is this brat so lucky...

Not only did the "filial son machine" come out, but he also passed the test again and again. Even the married Xie Changyue, who she used to despise, has now unexpectedly become the county monarch.

All of this should belong to his family, Zhener. Gu Yang, a guy who can't beat a dull fart with three sticks, how can he deserve it?

"Mother, what did you say belonged to the eldest brother?" Gu Qingqing's crisp voice sounded.

Li Xiangtao clasped the wooden door tightly with her fingers, and her mind buzzed, only to realize that she accidentally said what she was thinking just now.

Gu Qingqing tilted her head and said in doubt: "But at the beginning, neither you nor your elder brother wanted Brother Changyue, so he married the second cousin."

Li Xiangtao's complexion turned pale.
