Yan Yu ran back to the village in a gust of wind.
First, I told Village Chief Luo that the boat had stopped by the river and was waiting to unload the cargo.
Upon hearing the summons from Duke Xiucai, Village Chief Luo happily directed his sons and grandsons to go to each house to call for people.
Yan Yu rushed into his yard.
Listen to the noise through the door.
Yan Laoer hummed a pleasant tune and submerged himself in the water, intending to soak it up and then rub it to remove the dust.
Next to him is the stove, with hot water sitting on it. You can reach it with your hands. If the water is not warm enough, you can add it yourself.
Yan Laoer sighed with satisfaction, "It's better to be at home!"
Everywhere is convenient and comfortable.
"Dad! How long do you want? Uncle is back!"
"Brother! Big brother!"
Try to lie on Sanbao's back as much as possible. This position is not exclusive to Yan Yu, and Yan Laoer is not stupid either. He knows how warm it is.
The government officials did not dislike staying by the stoves of various houses in the village, keeping watch over the fire, warming their bodies little by little, and then taking a sip of the refreshing mutton soup. The taste was so delicious!
Serve the mutton soup.
Yan Huaiwen waved to her and took out a silver hairpin from somewhere. The head of the hairpin was carved with several soybean-sized plum blossoms. Although it was small, it was very delicate.
The elderly people in this village are also energetic, and their shouts are very loud.
Yes, Yan Laoer saw something was wrong.
The village happened to have prepared a lot of dry food, so I moved some out and put them on the table.
"Thank you, Dad!" She held the plum blossom hairpin in her hand, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but raise. Her whole body revealed a bit of coquettishness that she had never shown before, and her nine points of color increased by two points, making her look extremely beautiful.
From study to life to official duties, Mr. Tian’s teachings to students are not singular and cover all aspects.
The Yan's and Luo's stoves were turned on at the same time, and the mutton soup was ready quickly.
Yan Yu quickly caught up, kept the donkey and Sanbao at a constant speed, and handed the cotton hat steadily to her father's hand.
There's going to be some blood today.
He kept a careful eye on it and deliberately did not explain clearly what kind of broth it was.
Yan Laoer looked happy and let go of the ram.
Yan Laoer quickly put on his hat, tied the ropes on both sides, and wrapped his head and neck, revealing his face. After putting on the hat, he continued to lower himself: "Don't worry, Sanbao is steaming and warm.
very."
She held his hand with her hand and said warmly: "God bless me, brother is not cold."
…
Li Xuemei saw her daughter running out with the cotton hat that was being heated on the kang, and the next moment she heard a rapid knock on the door in the yard.
Before Yan Yu could go out with her eldest sister, her father and uncle entered the yard.
Direct the people in the village to move things from the boat, load them into trucks, and transport them back.
Are you close?
Yan Laoer, with his head wrapped in a cloth towel, appeared in front of Yan Yu covered in steam.
Yan Yu said "Wow" and thought the eldest sister was really pretty.
Who is Mr. Tian? He is a teacher.
Now is the time when tigers are in danger. It is rare that Gu Feng is willing to borrow money. For private loans of such a large amount of money, interest must be calculated. Just treat it as paying interest. It will be fine after you get through this winter.
Already.
Yan Huaiwen was a little stiff the moment he was hugged, but soon softened, not only his body, but also his heart softened.
There is no need to kill the sheep immediately, and the sheep soup can be made very quickly.
Yan Laoer understood somewhat, and the hand holding the sheep's neck eased: "There is mutton in the cellar? Is there a lot of it?"
Daya happily said: "Xiao Er, I'm listening. Go quickly. I'll be fine soon."
"On this trip to Linhai Mansion, did I spend all the food and drink expenses of the people on board?" Yan Laoer asked a very crucial question.
Yan Laoer almost got a cramp in his neck!
"Grandpa Gu Feng, lend me... lend me some money?!" He felt that he had heard wrongly.
Gu Feng's yamen officials were greatly surprised.
Yan Yu......
Yan Yu felt relieved and turned around to go back to pick up the eldest sister.
When people from Xiao'an Village gathered around, Gu Feng's yamen servant felt even more the simplicity and enthusiasm of the entire village.
"When I see this hairpin, I feel that it is worthy of my first son."
Yan Huaiwen said slowly: "The preparations in the village are very good. Since we have decided to take action tomorrow morning, it seems there will be inconvenience for us to return to the village to rest tonight..."
Yan Laoer was the first to load the car, and without taking anyone else with him, he grabbed his brother and ran away.
Village Chief Luo didn't even let them go to the fields and took the car directly back to the village.
My hair is slightly damp. It seems that I haven't washed it, but just wiped it lightly.
While Yan Huaiwen was taking a bath, Yan Laoer made some soup.
Let's put it this way, he knows what his teacher knows about government affairs, and he still knows what his teacher doesn't notice.
Yan Huaiwen's voice came out: "No need."
What he said is true. He was afraid that they would not know the village roads and would turn around in the dark at night.
Fish soup is also meat soup, chicken soup and mutton soup are also meat soup.
I walked with Yan Hushu from Huju City. No, to be precise, it was Yan Hushu who was sent to Gu Feng. This person is not an easy person to get close to. He is agile and capable. Who cares?
One glance is like being able to see through people. When the weather gets cold, it feels like there is a chill all over this person's body, and he can freeze even if he is close to him.
If others don't know how much money Yan Huaiwen took with him, how can he not know?
Yan Huaiwen knew something at a glance and knew something must be happening in the village.
Wait until everything is explained clearly.
Yan Huaiwen looked carefully and saw an ox cart approaching quickly.
"What are you doing? Your hair is still wet. What should you do if you run out like this and get caught in the wind?!"
Da Ya's eyes lit up little by little, shining brightly.
All the government servants in Huju know what kind of person Yan Laoer is. The way this great master's student treats others is so heart-warming.
Aunt Rong waved her hand towards him, pointed to the cellar, and gestured with something.
"Sister, eldest sister, my uncle is back. He came back by boat and has already arrived at the river. I will chase my father and give him a hat first. You should get dressed quickly and wear more clothes. It is cold at night. I will come back to pick him up later.
you."
He calls himself a big brother, and makes people feel warm when he speaks and acts openly. Seeing that all the people in the village are here, Yan Laoer just asks a few people to stay on the boat to guard the boat, and everyone who is left will go to Xiao'an Village as a guest.
…
Yan Yu heard the leisurely splashing sound inside, which suddenly turned into a splash...
Yan Laoer kept his promise and treated the government servants to some mutton soup. Village Chief Luo Zhang Luo found accommodation for them in the village, and they tacitly agreed not to go to Yan's house.
The ram quickly fled and bleated to reunite with the ewes.
Yan Laoer's voice was full of joy: "Big brother is big brother, haha, the two shiploads of food are enough for us to support ourselves for a few days. We can also send some to the Xizhou Army to save them from having to come and stay for several days.
Take the trouble to entertain...eh? You are talking about two big ships, how big are they?"
The first trip only transported a few grain bags and a lot of people.
It's his Tianyou, that's right.
Yan Yu echoed: "That's right, I'm really ignorant. Dad is such an old man and people still worry about him. Mom, I'll catch up and put a hat on dad. Mom, uncle is back, hahaha!"
This old man from Gu Feng is really scheming.
The two sisters had a very busy time. Aunt Rong poured out her father's bath water first, then washed it clean, leaving them with the task of boiling and pouring water...
Before you see the person, listen to his voice first.
He walked to the backyard to see if his sheep were still there and whether they had been eaten. If there were no sheep to catch, he would go to Luo's house and have a look. He remembered that Luo San said that he collected some during the last big market.
The sheep are coming.
Yan Laoer said while wrestling with the ram, "I want to make lamb soup to entertain the guests."
Seeing his brother nodding, Yan Laoer let out a chuckle.
You've just gone out, how can you keep your words?
Gu Feng's yamen secretly looked at their faces.
"Beside the river, there are two large boats borrowed from Gufeng. They are parked directly at the small ferry. The uncle said that he had to go to Gufeng to return the boat. He asked me to go back to the village and ask someone to unload the food on the boat and let us go first.
I looked in the village and found that the boat had a deep draft and had to pull it several times."
Aunt Rong looked at him doubtfully.
Mr. Gu Feng is so kind and righteous! He not only lends boats, but also lends people!
Yan Laoer is explaining tomorrow's plan.
The door opened.
In the study room of the Yan family.
He rarely spoke out and only asked a few brief questions at a few key points.
"What? You said your uncle is back? Where is he?"
Yan Laoer was extremely enthusiastic. He called out names to people he knew, and introduced people to people he didn't know. Oh my god, these familiar government servants turned out to be from Gu Feng.
Isn't it? How can she describe it? She also wants to say some professional terms such as displacement, but it's a pity that she doesn't know!
Yan Laoer:......
I didn't expect that Yan Hushu would have such a passionate younger brother.
…
Yan Laoer waited eagerly outside the door: "Brother, can you let me go in and rub your back?"
"Boss, boss." Yan Yu blinked and said nonsense.
"Dad!" Da Ya came up to greet him and said with a smile: "The fire wall is already lit, it will heat up in a while."
Every one of them was passed under his eyes. It was true that his brother and Manshan kept the accounts of the government office, but in the end they still had to be shown to Mr. Tian.
There was no need for them to get involved. Many men came to the village, some driving cars and some running.
"God bless, watch the road." Yan Huaiwen reminded.
She looked like she was listening carefully to what her father and the village elders were saying.
As soon as the bullock cart stopped, a man stood up on the bull's back and grinned brightly at him.
The sheep kept bleating and called Grandma Rong over.
For example, when Hu Ju goes back to Linhai to buy grain, he can't just count the money for buying grain. All kinds of expenses must be added here. But since Mr. Gu Feng has sent a servant to follow him, people will definitely want to inquire about the price of grain. Then
When they return the food, they can't add the cost of transporting the food. They have to wait for the food to be delivered to their door...
Seeing that his younger brother was covered in moisture and his hair was tied up, he knew that he had just finished bathing, so how could he be allowed to take off his clothes?
"Dad, put it on quickly. We have important things to do tomorrow, but we don't want to catch a cold."
Yan Laoer had just made up his mind as soon as he heard his brother say that Mr. Gu Feng had borrowed money for his boat, people, and money. Although borrowing money had interest, they would be grateful if they were willing to lend a helping hand at this time.
"Why are we so anxious for this whole night? We've been gone for such a long time and we haven't been able to take a breather. I've made the decision on this matter. We'll all go to our village to rest for one night and we'll leave again at dawn tomorrow. Our village has also sent this boat.
People are staring at you and you can't throw them away. The brothers on the boat will be affected. I'm sorry for you. I don't have a chance this time. I will definitely come to our village for a walk next time. Brothers, wait a while. When the family is done, we will
Let someone bring it to you, and you can deal with it, don’t dislike it..."
"Brother, you are back." Yan Laoer came up and hugged him, then looked at his brother up and down, his eyes full of joy: "It's great, it's great. Brother, are you tired? Are you cold?" He touched
My elder brother's clothes were a bit thin, so I subconsciously wanted to take off his clothes and put them on for him.
Hehe, Yan Yu is a good boy now, listening honestly and not interrupting a word.
"It's no inconvenience, brother. I've already thought about it. We'll set off later tomorrow. The journey will be faster. It won't delay the time we made with Mr. Xue Qi."
At this moment, Yan Laoer felt that he needed to refresh his impression of Mr. Gu Feng?
In the past... even though I had little contact with him, I didn't seem to be such an enthusiastic and kind-hearted person!
Yan Huaiwen: "There is a plan. There is no need to use silver when returning this borrowed money. The money will be exchanged for food."
Yan Laoer hugged a ram and pulled it outside.
Yan Laoer quickly turned around and looked ahead: "Brother, Gu Feng's eldest brother borrowed boats, people, and money... What does he want?"
The corner of her eye kept falling on her uncle, and she didn't dare to relax for a moment.
He didn't say anything.
Although this Mr. Yan only showed the facial features in the middle of his face, it can indeed be seen that the two of them look similar, and they must be brothers.
It was a little cold outside, so Yan Laoer shivered twice, ran back to the house quickly, grabbed his sheepskin coat from the kang, put it on his body, and ran out.
Although Sambo is fast, it is still slower than the donkey, not to mention that it has not let go of its speed.
Yan Laoer understood it as soon as he thought about it.
Li Xuemei's reaction was a little slower now. Instead of calling him to stop, she had to call to Yan Yu.
Yan Laoer drove away.
Aunt Rong nodded and made gestures.
Get off the cow's back and run over quickly.
The tone of this call is exactly the same as that of the waiter.
After everyone had distanced themselves, Yan Laoer turned around on Sanbao's back and asked, "Brother, why are there so many grains? I didn't even dare to ask you just now."
Yan Huaiwen glanced at the waiter a few times and then looked away.
Several village elders supplemented from time to time. When Xiao Er and Qi Si brought cattle and sheep back from Beirong, the excitement of the old men was as if they had gone there to see them.
"Brother, let's go talk to our family. It will take a while for this boat to be unloaded." Yan Laoer shouted to the government servants on and off the boat who did not know each other: "Brothers have worked hard all the way to our village. How can we pass by?
The idea of going in is to go to my house. If you don’t have wine soup, you will have broth. Go, go, go to my house and have a bowl to warm yourself up..."
Just as Yan Laoer thought of something to say about tomorrow's actions, Yan Huaiwen simply washed up and came out.
Yan Huaiwen hummed, reached out and touched the grain bag beside him, and said in a voice that only Yan Laoer could hear: "The eldest master of Gu Feng borrowed some money, God bless, please remember to remind Mr. Tian to make a note of debt.
"
"When you go back to the village and take people to walk in the mountains, who will support you in the government office?" Yan Huaiwen thought for a moment and frowned slightly: "Could it be... Mr. Tian?"
Yan Laoer explained: "The teacher said that he only sends people out of confinement and will not go there in person."
Yan Huaiwen looked at him with a bit of disapproval.
This... God bless you, do you actually believe this?
Gaga~ I thought I would be able to write about people arriving in Beirong today, but I didn’t expect it~~~~
Please forgive me for being a nerd, I will definitely be able to write about it tomorrow~(*^▽^*)~
