Although Li Tong really couldn't think of it, how could the jade pendant that was well worn on his body be lost inexplicably because he was in a hurry?
What’s even weirder is, why did he lose all his own things?
It doesn’t make sense!
But looking at the surrounding environment, it is obvious that we have not left the mountains yet.
Look at these people again. Since they dare to do such things, I'm afraid they are confident.
Realizing that he was under someone else's roof, Li Tong had to lower his head and admit himself to be unlucky.
When Jiang Shu saw Li Tong, he immediately smiled.
Of course he had the confidence to do this to Li Tong.
Between Hanzhong and Jincheng, Yang'an Pass is the only way to pass.
Now he is already a general in Yang'anguan. He has met many people, so he naturally knows some things about Hanzhong.
Nowadays, there are basically only two aristocratic families that can enter Hanzhong, one is the He family with three bedrooms, and the other is the Li family with six bedrooms.
The Li family is centered in Nanxiang. In Jiang Shu's opinion, among the Li family in Hanzhong, the most honorable person is Mu Niangzi.
As long as Mrs. Mu doesn't show up, he won't be afraid even if the Grandfather of the Li family comes.
Isn't it because of the reputation of Feng Langjun and Zhao Langjun that he can hold the position of partial general?
Do the six members of the Li family dare to confront Feng Langjun?
Give them ten guts!
I saved your life, and I didn't ask you to repay me just for the sake of Mrs. Mu having the same surname.
I took something, not from your hand, but from the hands of a barbarian. Do you have any objection?
Jiang Shu and his party took Li Tong back to Yanganguan, and kindly allowed him to rest for a day in Yanganguan, changed him into coarse linen clothes, and gave him a few pieces of dry food.
It's the kind of dry food made only from white flour. It's so hard that if you chew it in one bite, you might break two of your teeth. Then I gave him a water bag, which was a bit worn out, but it was nowhere near as good as the water he lost.
The bag is so good.
In the end, he was left to find his own way.
Li Tong stood in Guancheng, looking at the pedestrians coming and going from time to time, feeling a little confused.
After sneaking out from Nanxiang and being brought back to Yang'an Pass, Li Tong discovered that he had actually gone in a big circle, but in the end he accomplished nothing, lost everything he had with him, and even almost lost his life.
.
If he hadn't been so generous and told him that he didn't need to repay the clothes on his back and the water bag in his hand, he might still be in debt.
Even if he could chew the dry food in his hand, he would definitely not be able to walk for a few days.
Jiang Shu calculated very accurately that this small amount of dry food would only last him until Nanxiang.
The only way to go further is to be a beggar.
Li Tong looked to the south, that was the way to Jincheng.
Look to the east, that is the road to Nanxiang.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he slowly walked eastward.
The horrific experience of the past few days was still lingering in his mind for a long time. How could he still dare to run around?
When Li Mu heard that Li Tong, who had quietly disappeared, suddenly came back, he came over from the workshop angrily and without saying a word, he slapped him several times.
Li Tong was beaten so hard that his handsome face became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Tong did not dare to be stubborn this time, and knelt down on the spot, crying bitterly and saying, "Sister, I know I was wrong."
Part of the reason why I cried so hard was because the slap hurt so much.
His unusual attitude of acknowledging his mistake made Li Mu almost duck when he was about to slap him again. His hand stopped midway and he slapped him again with a "bang" sound.
Just this moment made Li Tong feel a little stupid, and he forgot the words he had planned.
Why are you still fighting?
Li Mu was also stunned. She naturally refused to admit that she slapped her too much, so she put one hand on her hips and pointed at Li Tong with the other, asking, "What's wrong?"
"My fault is that I don't understand my sister's hard work, and my fault is that my younger brother is too willful."
Li Tong answered honestly.
Li Mu was startled, wondering if this was still her brother?
"When I come back this time, I will definitely listen to my sister's words and take good care of the village in Nanxiang."
Li Qiu raised his face that was as swollen as a pig's head, "Sister, I heard that the Book of Pan Sheng is the first book on reclamation, and I also heard that the April Civil Order is also a rare agricultural book. I plan to read it all.
Find me and study it carefully."
Li Mu was really surprised this time.
She looked at Li Tong carefully and wondered why this brother had changed so much when he went out for a trip? Could it be that he was hit by an evil spirit? Or... someone had changed his mind?
After thinking for a moment, she turned around and ordered the servant next to her, "Go and call the second wife of the Xu family over."
When Li Tong heard this, his expression changed.
Li Mu, who had been secretly staring at him, nodded, thinking that as long as this didn't change, he would still be the same Adi.
"Mother Mu, did you call me?"
The second wife of the Xu family came over quickly, blessed her, and asked.
Li Tong couldn't control his eyes and looked at her.
Xu Erniang just lowered her head and didn't even look at him.
This made him feel a little disappointed.
"You have worked hard these days in charge of the farm. Now that my incompetent brother is back, I have decided to learn how to run the farm. Then I will have to trouble you to help me."
Li Mu stared at Xu Erniang, smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice, "After all, Feng Langjun left these matters to you two before he left."
The word "Feng Langjun" is a bit heavy-handed.
Xu Erniang bowed her head and said, "I understand. I will definitely try my best and dare not let down Feng Langjun's trust."
Li Mu nodded, thinking that this is a sensible person.
Li Mu turned his head again and said to Li Tong, "The Book of Pan Sheng" and the April Civil Order, I will notify the clan and let them find ways to find it. You can wait with peace of mind until there is news.
, I will ask someone to send it over."
After saying that, he took the people away.
There are a lot of things waiting for her in the workshop, how can she have time to stay here for too long?
As for my brother, as long as he is content with his duties, even if he does nothing, he will still be better than before.
If he really wanted to run the farm, that would be the best. After all, they were siblings from the same mother, and their relationship was always closer than others. If there was a chance, she wouldn't mind giving him a hand.
But if he really dared to deceive himself again and continue to be confused, he would have no choice but to kill his relatives and tie him back to Jincheng.
After Li Tong and Li Mu left, he stood up, looked at Xu Erniang, his face became hot, and said, "Er Niang..."
Xu Erniang lowered her head and took a step back, facing Li Tongfu Yifu, "Li Langjun has just come back. He must be exhausted. It's better to go back and rest first. There is still something to do in the fields, so I have to go and do some work first."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Li Tong was stunned.
Although Xu Erniang didn't say it explicitly, he could still feel that there was already a layer of unfamiliarity between the two.
Li Tong looked at her retreating back, and he suddenly felt that the separation between the two of them might not be a layer of unfamiliarity, but an invisible mountain.
This mountain is simply despairing.
Xu You came out of his home and went to his uncle Xu Ci's house.
I asked the servants and found that my uncle was not at home, but my cousin was studying in the backyard.
After asking about his cousin's location, Xu You went to Xu Xun and asked, "Brother, are you free today?"
Because Xu Xun couldn't keep his mouth shut, he was imprisoned a few days ago and his two daughters teamed up to break one of his legs. He was first imprisoned at home to study. Later, although the confinement was lifted, he rarely spoke when he went out.
He probably took this lesson to heart.
At this time, he was holding a book and reading. When he heard Xu You's question, he didn't even raise his head and said, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that today is the day when the Xinghan Association was officially established. I want to go and have a look. If possible, it would be best to join. Brother, do you want to come with us?"
Xu Xun is now upset when he hears the news about a certain smooth talker, let alone meeting a real person. The most important thing is that he has to submit to him!
If this is really the case, it would be easier to let him die!
"Not going."
So Xu Xun simply refused.
Xu You knew how this cousin felt, and he came here just to show his affection as a brother.
It was not unexpected to hear the other party's answer.
It's okay that his elder died before his eldest father. His eldest father also passed away a few years ago. Now he is the only one left to support the family. Seeing that it is declining day by day, if he doesn't think of a way to fight, how long will it take?
But this cousin is different from me. He also has an uncle above him.
Now that my uncle has obtained the official position of compiling classics, he is definitely going to take a step further. How can I compare?
Seeing that Xu You was about to turn around and leave, Xu Xun finally couldn't help but said, "Brother, Feng... that Xinghan Hui that Mingwen created, I heard that it requires everyone to contribute money and effort, just to cultivate the land.
Nanzhong?”
"Exactly."
Although Feng Yong had warned those present not to spread rumors, he actually knew in his heart that this matter could not be hidden from anyone.
After all, the people who came here at that time did not necessarily rely on him for a living, nor did they form an interest group. In addition, some people may not be convinced by him, so why should they listen to you?
It's just that the talkative Xu Xun taught him a lesson first, and everyone is not a fool. Now everyone in Jincheng can guess that Feng Tubao is actually quite powerful.
Moreover, he had real interests in his hands, and even had the official title of Nanxiang to speak to him, so those people didn't really want to offend him.
So the news is not too outrageous.
But Feng Yong's plan to colonize Nanzhong was known to almost everyone in the powerful families.
It's just not clear how to cultivate the land and how to make a profit.
As for growing sugar cane to extract sugar...who knows if that's true?
Because the candy he mentioned was too exaggerated, and no one had ever seen it before.
Therefore, not many people spread rumors about this matter.
Besides, when Qiaoyan Lingse Feng Langjun went to Hanzhong, he said he was going to collect folk customs!
The results of it?
The mining continued on cattle and sheep, and even in the mines in the mountains...
How can there be such a collection of styles?!
Therefore, when it comes to planting sugar cane, not only those who have no intention of following up do not believe it, but even those who are determined to do it with Feng Yong are murmuring in their hearts, are they going to imitate the old thing of Hanzhong?
But no matter what, as long as there are benefits to following Feng Langjun, what is sowing is not sowing?
It is precisely because of this mentality that people who plan to join the association are either like Xu You, whose family's downfall is right in front of him, forcing him to take a gamble.
Either he is having a hard time at home and wants to learn from Zhao Jiaerlang and create a bright future.
For those who are more serious, as long as there is a way out or hope, who is willing to follow the nonsense? After all, the risk is too great.
Is this barren land just a joke?
Even if someone makes an exception and wants to mess around, they still hesitate in their hearts and take a chance: wait and see first, wait until they become famous, and then follow them.
Therefore, the reason why Xu Xun was unwilling to join in the fun was not entirely because he couldn't stand a certain country bumpkin.
Of course, being uncomfortable with it must be one of the reasons.
"Then have you ever thought that the Prime Minister's army has just arrived in Nanzhong, let alone how long it will take to pacify it. Even if it is pacified, who can guarantee that the wild land of Nanzhong will be productive in a few years?
Aren't you afraid of him... Aren't you afraid of losing all your capital?"
Xu Xun wanted to say, "I'm not afraid of him lying to you," but he was someone who had his legs broken for talking too much.
When I think about the rumors that even the inner court was involved in this matter, wouldn't it concern the current His Majesty and Queen?
It doesn't matter if the rumor is false. If it is true, if he says this again, he will be rude again and immediately change the words he has already spoken.
"Isn't that true?" Xu You said hesitantly, "That Feng Langjun... doesn't seem like a big talker."
Xu Xun sneered, "Where does that title of clever words and flirtatious words come from?"
Clever words to seduce Feng Langjun are not considered curse words nowadays.
Xu You said silently in his heart.
But he didn't want to refute his cousin's words, so he had to say at the moment, "Brother is right. I'm going to go today and just listen to what he said. If the promise is really empty, then that's it."
But what I was thinking was: If what Feng Langjun said is true, as long as we can get a long-term property, let alone a few years, even if it takes ten years, it will be worth thousands of dollars.
Otherwise, given the current situation in my house, how many years can it last?
Think about it when you pass by the Guan Mansion and Zhang Mansion, not to mention the shiny red pillars that blind people's eyes. Even the horse bolts at the door of the two houses were re-engraved by the masons last year.
The image of the Suan Ni carved on it, with its teeth and claws showing, looks more ferocious and arrogant than those of other families.
Look at my own house again, it’s so wilted and has no energy at all!
Thinking of this, Xu You couldn't help but sigh. The Guan family has a magnificent Guan Ji, and the Zhang family has a Zhang Ji who has been banished from a fairy to a mortal. They are both lucky!
It's my uncle's house. If I send a second wife out, I can get the glory of writing classics in a blink of an eye.
Not to mention that the sixth house of the Li family gave a wife, Mu, and now she has firmly established herself in Hanzhong.
I would like to imitate it, but Er Niang gave it away with her own hands. If she gives another one away, what excuse can she make?
Besides, the second wife of my uncle’s family is engaged to someone else, but my sister has not yet been engaged to someone else...
So now it seems that the only way to do this is to take advantage of the fact that the few connections and reputation left by the eldest father are still working, and quickly find a way to stabilize the decline of the family. Otherwise, after a few more years, who will
Will you still know yourself?
With this thought in his mind, Xu You said to Xu Xun, "Brother is right, I will take note of it."
