Assassin Farmer

Chapter 142: Bullock County

After a full month of farming, it was a hot July. Although livelihoods in the fields have largely come to an end, much remains to be done in the water.

Don't say that the lotus seeds in Ho Tang are to be harvested. After a month of labor and growth, the lakes that cannot be handled by farmers during their busy days need to catch fish and shrimp crabs as soon as possible.

“Summer, did this year's fish shrimp yield increase again?” Aunt Lao stood in the shade of a willow by the lake, shaking her fan and asking heedlessly that she was resting on the shore all morning in a cool lake to run the old summer. Turning to the harvested fishing boat parked on the shore, a few laughing pages landed briskly to carry the boat's loaded fish into a double Mala van.

“No, I've been busy for two days, sent out a couple of boats, and I still have a lot to catch.” Old Summer filled her mouth with cold tea and wiped it with sweat, she said.

“That's good. The next boat will let me choose two. Better get two lake crabs to try. The old man has been saying that for a long time.” Aunt Lao flipped the duffel bag and happened to have dozens of copper, enough for her to buy a few big fish and a few crabs. Sex feeds her man.

“Relax. Madame told you, the last boat you picked.” Lao Xia, busy stopping Aunt Lao, twice a year fishing period, always leave some for the villagers to buy. Said it was a buy, but just take some hard money, like fish sold outside, 30 copper a kilo, here means eight copper.

“Really? That's great. When do I close my shop? I'll come early, Summer. Save me something big.” After listening, Aunt Lao happily packed her bags and told Old Xia.

“Don't worry, I haven't seen these boats come all big. I still can't get a little tail fish.” Old Summer knocked on the pipe, grinned and looked at the beautiful lake in front of her, shimmering in the refraction of the sun, "depending on the situation, two more days. On the last boat, the mayor would knock on a gong reminder at the shrine. ”

“Summer, it's over.” After moving the caught small pages, waved to the old summer on shore, "I heard the big kitchen stewed beef stuffed meat this day, hurry to grab it. It's too late to say goodbye. ”

“Beef meat? It is indeed a blessing. I hear your big kitchen dishes are delicious. Did the kitchen come out of the royal dining room? Tsk... Our old man works more hours than he eats at home.” Aunt Lau shook her puffin and said, “It's getting late and we're going back. Summer, go back and taste the beef stuffed meat. Better ask the cook how to make it. I stewed it once during the New Year's Eve, and no one at home said it was good.” The smell was heavy and I couldn't chew it... ”

“Well, you go with me. Isn't your man there? Try the lunch in the big kitchen and you'll see.” Old Summer laughed and put away the pipe, shampooing the willow on her body, lifting her head with her hands up against Aunt Lao.

“How can that be? It's not that I don't know, it's strict.” Aunt Lao shook her head.

Although the girl in the water always lets her sit down when she is fine, she also knows that the maids in the house are from the Wang Mansion, the rules are not unusual for large households. At first, it was true that Tian and Aunt Tian frequently went to talk to Shui Xiao, but the merger of the three towns over the past few years, the girl obviously had a lot more to do. Recently, she heard that Silk weaving workshop had officially started, and she ran to Xiufeng's feet for three days, and herself was busy farming and harvesting, and she was busy with her family's livelihood, and helped the owner do the work for more than 10 days. This came and went, and she hasn't seen the girl for a month.

“You're not going to ruin it. Take a walk. I'll give you my plate of beef stuffed meat.” Old Summer took the lead out of the Willow Shade with her drafting hat.

Aunt Lao shook her head with a smile. Think about her at home at noon alone. The eldest daughter-in-law will be staying at her mother's house for a while. Returning will also be the rare meal of a hot morning. Sosex will go to the owner's house with Old Summer. I don't know if I will ever meet the water girl and hug her younger son.

On both sides of the village road today, the planted willow trees and ginkgo trees are already very dense. In the summer, the stretched branches and leaves are strong enough to cover the village. Only a few speckled daylight is projected through the branches, from the first entry into the "park” to the main house. This main road of the other courtyard is called the four seasons of spring, the summer shade, and the winter melt. If it wasn't for the fear of affecting the carriage going back and forth, the villagers would like to move a recliner to sleep in the afternoon of the trees.

Along the way, Aunt Lau listened to old Xia happily chatting about the new weather in the near future of "Heyuan". For example, the sauce shop is ready to open a branch in Shui Moon City. For example, on both sides of the official road into the city, we need to open deserted residential shops. For example, Built City needs to be renamed ”Built County”...

“When did this happen?” Aunt Lau asked in surprise. She had heard the village chief nagging before, but if the city was going to change its name so much, the village chief would not have mentioned it if he knew.

“Hey, hey, I just heard from the chief executive this morning, as if the Emperor had come.” Old Xia scratched his scalp, in fact, he went to the big manager to report about the lake pond, and happened to hear the big manager and his wife talking about it.

“No wonder! But why change the city to Bullowshire? Does Dawai have a guy named Shin?” Aunt Lao does not understand, but these are matters of court affairs and have nothing to do with them, rural women. It's hard to hear, even if Tae Hye were to change the dynasty, their lives wouldn't be much different. Even the taxes in the ground are now exempt, much less affected.

In the talking room, the two had arrived at the main kitchen entrance outside the main yard. Wanting to follow her face behind Old Summer, she listened to Sister Liang's greeting: “Sister Lau! It's you from afar. Ma'am says when you finish your meal and go to the study to find her, she happens to have something for you! ”

“Yo, Nanny's out of sight. I didn't hear that the beef sturgeon in the big kitchen was burning well, I wanted to get the scriptures... Husband... I'll be right there with Madam...” Aunt Lao's face rose red and I felt like I had the nerve to get caught doing something bad.

“Oh, our old lady has been pointed out by the royal butler, you can always find her to negotiate. The old slave word has arrived, first go to the master to bring lunch, if you haven't eaten yet, go to the big kitchen to taste Fang's craftsmanship.” Sister Liang spoke with great courtesy. After a few words of familiarity, after conveying Su Shuijuan's instructions, she went to serve the meals of a few young masters.

Aunt Lau laughed embarrassingly when she heard that Nanny Liang was looking for her. I think it must be about her eldest son's blacksmith shop. I heard from Aunt Tian and the village chief a while ago, but after a farm busy, I almost forgot about this, I didn't expect to come here to talk to myself.

That's a good thing. She had long hoped that her eldest son's family would be able to move safely and securely into bronze.

Think of it this way, the beef meat is not in a hurry to taste, go find the maid... Uh, no, it's time to call the lady. Otherwise, there are no rules about letting the owner laugh up and down.

Before Su Shuijuan sat in the book case, he frowned for a long time before writing a letter to Liang Xuanjing and his wife, who were far from Tidu. Yesterday she was surprised to receive the latest news from the Didu side of the "Spike Tower".

As a result of his illness, Dahui passed the throne to the Nine Princes, who were only five years old, while Xiang Wang's mansion was sealed by the Emperor as the Imprisoner. Before the Nine Princes were under the age of eighteen, he assisted the New Emperor in handling Dahui's affairs.

That is all, and even more surprising, the protector, Leung Xuanjing, told him to return to his homeland, and Leung En-Jae, who was in charge of the military, was confiscated from the army and declared King of Buloh County, under Buloh County only.

Buloh County, Buloh City, was renamed 10 days ago by Shinhuang Dawei and split from the 31 city version of Dawei into a relatively independent small county. Beginning in July, all policy schedules in Bullock County have been fully complied with by the order of the County King and no further taxes have been paid to Grand Benefit. However, the process of entering and leaving the county is quite relaxed compared to entering and leaving the boundaries of Dahui, so that business dealings between Buloh County and the surrounding city countries will only improve.

In this way, Pedro County has truly become an independent, uninterrupted town free from the Grand Benefit royal family. On the county king waiting for Liang En to return to carry out a sweeping reform. Previously restrained ordinances can now be promulgated with no backlash.

However, she was worried about the old princess and the old princess, although she heard from the elder brother that they were doing well, she was dismissing the domestic servants for a while, packing bags and preparing to come to the other yard to feed them.

She still couldn't help but write a home book to the two elders, taking into account that the long-standing fears had not been written in the letter, only to persuade them to take care of themselves and return home at an early date. Yes, this is their future home.

“Ma'am, Aunt Lau is here, and the slave keeps her waiting in the hall.” Xinzhi's soft-spoken debriefing interrupted her contemplation.

“Okay, I'll be right out.” Su Shuiju nodded. After the pen, the letterhead was sealed with red mud and handed over to Shinzhi. “He had time to take me to the" Guangdong Building "in the afternoon. He went to the hospital and sent a message to Jing. He said that he was coming back. ”

“Yes." Xinzhi carefully put the letterhead in his arms, cleaned up the table, and walked with Su Shuijuan to the hall house, "Madam, is lunch for the hall house? Today, there is beef stew stewed by Madam Fang. Everyone who has eaten said yes. ”

“Okay, you go eat too. By the way, ask Aunt Lao if she has used lunch, if not, eat with me in the hall house.” Su Shuihui washed his hands on a simple washing rack outside the study and walked to the hall house.

She was looking for Aunt Lao for the blacksmith's shop. The previous month, listening to news from Yangxintang, two blacksmith shops in the city fought over the source of the guests. One of the men was injured by another with a burning iron fork. It was considered disabled. The injured are now imprisoned by the acting city owner. These two blacksmiths have done their part.

Leaving a family of elders to support, but because of their unfamiliar skills, many large pieces cannot be taken. This is not true. The acting city owner came to Yao to negotiate. He hopes to be able to lend Lao Yongfu of "Heyuan”.

It is time to go to work with Lao's family at Dragon Boat, but there are a lot of recent events, she forgot about them. I heard Nanny Liang mention that Aunt Lao was in the house, so I hurried to ask her for it.

“Aunt Lao, go back and consult with Uncle Lao. If he wishes, the pavement will be searched for by officials and no rent will be required for the first two months. In the future, he will pay according to the ordinary pavement rent. If he wishes, he can start this month. Of course, it means' heyuan '. I hope he doesn't end the pavement here, come back a few days a month and repair the household iron for the villagers. ”

“No problem, girl. Oh, look at me. There are no rules anymore, ma'am. There are many livelihoods in the city, and it's easier to feed your family. It's okay to come back a few days a month, or even a few days a month in the third quarter.” Aunt Lau patted her thighs and responded softly. The government can come out to find the pavement for them. Such a good thing, you can't even find it in a lantern. Whoever refuses is an idiot.

“Aunt Lau is kind to me, I'm still used to you calling me water girl.” Su Shuihui smiled and said, seeing Aunt Lao promised, I thought there would be no more problems. Finally, I solved a problem and dragged Aunt Lao to taste the stew made by Grandma Fang. (To be continued.
