Chapter 38

The name of Li Duanyi and his courtesy name was Yuanbo. His father, Li Zunxu, was named Li Zunxu, and later became the Jinshi. Princess Wanshou, the daughter of Emperor Taizong of Song, was the favorite daughter of Emperor Taizong of Song. The title of Wanshou was like a child's nickname. After getting married, he officially named the Princess Suiguo. After that, he changed the title many times, and of course, the title became bigger and bigger.

Although this family of nobles of all dynasties were noble as the eldest princess, the family had a foundation, and the father and son were both talented, and had many friends with literati and doctors. After the eldest princess got married, she was looked at by the late emperor and praised by the literati and doctors. One thing can be seen that the eldest princess was different. When princesses in previous dynasties got married, the elders of the husband's family had to be downgraded, and even the parents-in-law could not be the elders of the princess, and could only treat each other with the same generation. This rule was changed from this Wanshou Chang Princess. She served her uncle and aunt as a bride, and was regarded by the emperor as having a tutor and felt that she was faced. There is no need to say the praise and respect of others.

Regardless of reputation or qualifications, not to mention that the Ma family, which is just the son-in-law of Liu Mei's family, even the ex-husband of the Empress Dowager, cannot compare with this family.

Li Duanyi happened to be the deputy envoy of the group herder at this time, so he was made by a big man to deal with the Ma family who was arrogant recently.

Because the Horse Prison has been withdrawn after all, and the Massage Department only occupied the local area of ​​Zhongmu County to shed horses, Li Duanyi asked Zhongmu County to send someone to help. The so-called gods and evil spirits are suffering. Who would be willing to get involved in this kind of thing? The magistrate of Zhongmu found an excuse and sent Guo Zi, who had just been transferred here.

Not long after Guo Ziyi came, he had to be sent to a delegation. He didn't think so. He was afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, and he couldn't go far in his career, so he took on this task.

After talking a few more casual gossips with Xu Ping, Guo Zi took someone away. Before Li Duanyi came to Zhongmu, he had to find out the situation and not make jokes at that time.

Watching Guo Zi leave, Xu Ping turned his head and looked at Sang Yi, and the two of them just smiled bitterly.

I thought this matter had just passed, but I suddenly started to cause this turmoil again.

Back at the place where the harvester was tested, Sun Qilang said: "Official, there was a farmer who just said that Li Tixia had arrived in front of the farm and asked you to go back soon."

Xu Ping was not in the mood to try again, so he took everyone back to the village.

Li Yonghe and his son Li Zhang were using tea in the living room, while several soldiers were standing in the yard. Seeing Xu Ping coming back, Li Zhang jumped up and said, "Brother, why are you not coming to Tokyo to see us in the past few months?"

Xu Ping has never been to the nearby Zhongmu County, let alone Bianliang City. He is a person who doesn't like to join in the fun, let alone always has a passerby attitude towards the world. He just needs to farm in his own farm with peace of mind and bring new farming methods to the world with what he has learned.

Seeing Li Zhang staring at him, Xu Ping shook his head and said, "This farm is new and is in trouble. I can't be busy all day long, so I don't have time to run around."

Li Zhang didn't believe it: "This is not what you used to be! When I was in Tokyo, you would feel uncomfortable if you didn't go to the tile house for a day. How could you endure this loneliness!"

Li Yonghe cursed: "You are such a useless person, you only know how to play all day long! Your Xu brother has grown up, do you think he is still the same as before?"

Xu Ping came up to greet Li Yonghe and said, "Just just now, I met an official in the field, saying that he was Guo Zi, the chief clerk of the county. He said that he and Uncle Shi would deal with some things nearby, and this time they would be afraid that they would have to live longer?"

Li Yonghe looked depressed: "That's right. There's something to do this time, and it won't be the same as last time."

Seeing that Li Yonghe didn't want to mention his own affairs, Xu Ping turned around: "Then I'll ask Xu Chang to arrange a residence for you. He set up a new home outside the village, and the courtyard where he originally lived was vacant."

Speaking of Xu Chang, Li Zhang interrupted again, "What a Xu Chang, you've become a family when you sneak up on it, and you don't invite us to drink! After all, I've been playing since I was a child!"

Xu Ping also laughed after hearing this: "What did you play since childhood? You are still pestering him? He is so annoyed that he is so annoyed with you, a little brat!"

Xu Chang said on the side: "Dalang said this, I like to take him."

After saying a few words, Xu Chang said goodbye and arranged the arrangements, Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang went to pack up the farm tools.

Seeing that there was no outsider, Li Yonghe called Xu Ping in front of him and looked up and down, "Dalang, you have grown up and have organized your relationship with others. In the past few months, Lin Xiucai has been to the capital several times. He also praised you when he mentioned you, saying that it was not the same as before. Even his study has improved greatly. Not only can he read it, but he can also write good poems. The scholar also read it to me. I have no point in my studies, but I just feel good and can't say anything. When I have nothing to do, I talk to my colleagues in the literary class who are well-read, they also praised you for your good poetry and study hard for a few years, and maybe you can also be a Jinshi. The brothers of the Xu family worked hard for half a lifetime, and I think it was because they were blessed when they were old, and this wealth would fall on you."

Xu Ping just smiled bitterly. He just copied a poem on a whim. When it comes to his talent in poetry and books, he could not even have any at least this time. Unexpectedly, several families hoped that he would be successful, and only showed a little sign, which gave these people infinite hope. This misunderstanding is really a bit big.

Li Zhang sat aside, tilted his head and looked at Xu Ping, looking like he didn't believe it. This brother grew up with him. He knew the best of his virtues and could he really become a talent?

Looking at the sky, Xu Ping asked, "Uncle Shi, have you come from the capital? Have you ever used breakfast on the way? If you haven't used it, I'll ask someone to prepare it."

Li Zhang rushed to say, "We used it after passing Zhongmu County on the way. I was going to eat at your farm, but those soldiers were not good enough and just said they were hungry."

After talking, Xu Chang made an appointment and came back after he made a reservation.

Li Zhang said: "Everyone cares. You accompany my father to talk to you. My brother and I go to Lin Xiucai's house. This time I come here, I will bring a gift to the Lin family's wife."

Li Zhang was at the age of playing, and Li Yonghe had no choice but to let the two go.

After leaving the house, Li Zhang asked Xu Ping: "Brother, didn't you say that you had a close call Xiuxiu last time? I also have a gift for the people around you."

Xu Ping said: "Today's 'Daughter's Day', she also gathered in the Lin family and wanted to beg for tricks together."

Li Zhang nodded: "That's the best."

After turning around the courtyard, before reaching the Lin family, Lin Suniang took Xiuxiu and Suer to come from the river, each holding a few lotus branches. The lotus is also used for the Qichao Festival, and they all made a lotus.

Li Zhang walked forward a few steps and saluted Lin Suniang: "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence!"

Lin Su Niang looked at him with a smile: "You whine, when did you come?"

Li Zhang said: "I just arrived. I'll bring you a gift."

After saying that, he took out a pair of gadgets from his arms and handed them to Lin Suniang mysteriously.

Xu Ping felt curious and went up to take a look. It turned out to be a pair of clay villains, one man and one woman, with painted clothes on them. They looked cute, and they felt like the dolls he sold in his previous life. These two villains looked like Cowherd and Weaver Girl. Girls should use them when begging for tricks at night, and they are also children's toys.

Lin Suniang happily took it in her hand and said, "I am not in the capital this year, and I thought I would be happy to see this pair. The pair you chose was careful and well-behaved. I like it very much. You have grown up in the past two years and are indeed much more sensible."

Li Zhang smiled and saw Su'er and Xiuxiu looking at him beside him, then took out another pair and handed it to Su'er: "Sister has it too."

This pair is smaller than Lin Su Niang, but looks similar.

Su'er showed joy on her face and took it in her hands and played with it.

Li Zhang then turned around and said to Xiuxiu, "You are Xiuxiu?"

Xiuxiu didn't know him, she just nodded.

Li Zhang said again: "Last time I came here, my brother mentioned you, but you went home to visit relatives and didn't meet you. You are the one around you, so of course you can't be neglected. This couple will give you this one."

Another pair was taken out of her arms. This pair was the same size as Suer, but they looked a little different and looked more refined.

Xiuxiu didn't dare to reach out and just answered, looking at Xu Ping with a gaze.

Xu Ping smiled and said, "This is my brother who has been playing with since I was a child. Since you have the intention to give it to you, you will accept it."

After hearing this, Xiuxiu took it and held it tightly in her hand. She was different from Lin Suniang and Suer, and the children of poor families had never had such a toy.

After giving the gift, Lin Suniang said to Li Zhang: "You came suddenly, I don't have any gifts to give you."

Li Zhang laughed: "Just treat me to a cup of tea."

Lin Suniang smiled and shook her head: "Today is not an ordinary day. Our girls' festivals are all things that are begging for tricks and have nothing to do with your men. You can go with Dalang to play. These pairs of fun have also cost you a lot of money, even if you want to come back from Dalang."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Xiuxiu and Su'er.

Seeing Li Zhang standing there awkwardly, Xu Ping stepped forward and said to him, "Since this morning, the three of them have been secretly doing something in the small courtyard, so why should we join in the fun?"

Seeing the three of them walking away, Li Zhang smiled and said, "Who wants to play with their girls! Give them some gifts and make them happy. Brother, let's go and catch fish! Last time, Xiucai went to the capital and brought two jars of terrible fish to our house. Everyone praised it after eating it. Xiucai said that the pond in this farm could catch hundreds of kilograms of big fish. I came this time, and I made up my mind to catch enough!"
