I am old in the Han Dynasty
Chapter 116 Good things come in pairs
Xie Lang shook his head helplessly, this Dongfang Shuo is really serious.
Not to mention Liu Che, he has a better choice, and he will not let Dongfang Shuo teach Xiaoqi.
Then again, since there was no one, Xie Lang pretended not to hear it.
Xie Lang cleaned up the stove and led the donkey into the house, then went to cut a basket of sweet potatoes and vines to feed the donkey.Then stewed the meat of the three birds, dug some old green vegetables and chopped them to feed the geese, and sat in the yard in a daze, watching the fire by the way.
The meat was stewed fragrant, Xie Lang fished out the meat with a nine-toothed rake.
As Xie Lang expected, Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang ran to sleep in the house after eating.The seemingly relaxed Dongfang Shuo really relaxed at this time.
Xie Lang sat on the sidelines and listened to him tell Xiao Qi how to make two cups of tea. Xiao Qi had difficulty concentrating and yawned frequently. Xie Lang said, "Sir, I'm here today."
"It's only an hour in total." Dongfang Shuo glanced at the shadow at the door, "I'm fine this afternoon, let's talk for a while?"
Xie Lang pointed at Xiao Qi, "If you talk about it again, he will fall asleep. Xiao Qi, go back to sleep."
Xiaoqi nodded her head, ran to the east living room, lay down on the couch, and snored.
Xie Lang hurried over, made him a pillow, closed the curtain, and winked at Dongfang Shuo, "Speak outside."
"Why is he so sleepy? When I saw him yawn just now, I thought he thought my speech was boring." Dongfang Shuo said.
Xie Lang glanced into the room, "Usually I just woke up at this time. Next time my husband comes over at this time, tell him an hour, and he won't feel sleepy."
"No wonder you said that to the villagers. Since I'm fine, I'll go back." Dongfang Shuo said.
Xie Lang handed him the melon on the washstand, "There is no basket at home, I packed it in sacks, sir, don't dislike it."
"Third Young Master, you're being polite." Dongfang Shuo smiled, took it and gave him a fist hug, "Thank you Third Young Master for pointing the way. I'll think about it when I go back."
Xie Lang nodded with a smile and stopped talking.Sending him to the intersection, watching him go away, Xie Lang gently closed the door, walked towards Xie Zhongwu's door, and asked the women who were chatting, "Have you discussed it yet?"
"What are you discussing?" someone asked.
Xie Lang said: "Master, please. The time I agreed with Master is the fifth day of August. It's only a few days away, so hurry up and discuss it." After speaking, he turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, Saburo."
Xie Lang stopped, turned his head, "Say!"
"For example, if you need ten pennies a month, does it mean that there are ten people in class, and each of us pays one penny?"
Xie Lang nodded, "Yes! Is there anything else?"
"No, no, let's discuss and discuss."
Xie Lang lifted his foot and left again.When you get to the courtyard, you close the gate, wash the hut clean with dirty water, and take out all the eggs you saved to make eggs.
Before the Biandan was ready, Xiaoqi woke up.
Xie Langrong was sleepy when he woke up, so he asked Xiao Qi to take out the thread-bound book he sewed with paper, and write down the method of turning eggs in detail.
Xiao Qi's handwriting is already resembling, and the way of turning eggs does not involve uncommon characters, so Xiao Qi finished writing very quickly.Seeing that Xie Lang was still busy, waiting for the ink on the paper to dry, Xiao Qi got together and asked, "Third Master, why remember this?"
"Xiaoqi will have a child in the future, and if he doesn't want to be an official or farm, let him give this to him." Xie Lang said, "But there is a prerequisite, the child must be filial. If your son is not filial, give this to your daughter. "
The child's face turned red instantly, and he was very embarrassed, "Master, I'm only seven years old."
"I didn't let you marry now either." Xie Lang said with a smile.
The heat on Xiao Qi's face dissipated, "I remember it's full of food." As he spoke, he turned forward to let Xie Lang see clearly.
"This white paper is full of books, and it's just a cookbook. Is the restaurant where we eat chicken and mutton soup big?" Xie Lang asked.
Xiaoqi nodded, "It's very big."
"There are only two kinds of delicious food in his family. The food in our cookbook is all delicious. Are you still worried that you won't be able to make money?" Xie Lang asked.
Xiao Qi opened it again and found that the dumplings were delicious, the scallion pancakes were delicious, and the salty soy milk was also delicious, "Then I'll keep it safe."
"This must never fall into the hands of outsiders." Xie Lang looked at him, "Do you know what an outsider is? Someone who has no blood relationship with you. Like daughter-in-law, son-in-law, if they get into their hands, they will follow us Use this to make a lot of money and find a more beautiful woman, or a better man."
Xiao Qi nodded half-understood, "I remember, Third Master."
Xie Lang: "Don't tell others either. If someone asks in the future, just pass it on by word of mouth. If the child is very filial, but has soft ears, is afraid of his wife like Xiaoma's father, and listens to her men like Xiaoma's aunt Don’t give this to him. You write down two things and dictate to them, and the money you earn is enough for their family to eat and wear.”
"Why did the third master suddenly talk about something so far away today? Third master, don't you want me anymore?" Xiao Qi looked at him with grievances, tears gleaming in his eyes.
Xie Lang laughed, "Your third master has a bad memory, don't you know? Your grandfather Meng Da scolded me a lot for this. I was worried that I forgot, and thought I had told you everything."
"Is it because you don't want me?" Xiao Qi asked hurriedly.
Xie Lang smiled and said: "Of course not. I have raised you for so many years, and I still count on you to cook and wash my clothes. You just learned how to cook breakfast, so I don't want you. I'm at a loss."
"I knew that the third master wouldn't want me." The child happily threw himself on his back.
Xie Lang staggered forward under his pressure, "Xie Xiaoqi! Come down for me!"
Xiao Qi put her arms around his neck and lay down on the whole body, "No!"
"I'll let your grandpa Meng Da beat you up tomorrow." Xie Lang wanted to beat him up, but when he saw that his hands were full of dirt, "Get up for me, and move these bastards to the west side room."
Xiao Qi hooked his head and glanced, there were four jars in front of him, "Third Master, the two of us, why are you doing so much?"
"The smallest one is for your wife Dongfang Shuo. The biggest one is for your grandfather Meng Da. The second largest one is for your grandfather Zhongqing's mother. Aunt Wei's family is getting old and their only son is not around. Let's go see her and chat with her when we finish this." Xie Lang said, "The third youngest is our own."
Xiao Qi stood up, "Third Master is well prepared."
"It should be. Your grandfather Meng Da exempted the third master from military service. The third master does not need to be separated from you. We want to thank him. Dongfang Shuo, a court official, came to teach you in person. It stands to reason that we have to give him a donkey a month. But he didn't want it. He's generous, so we shouldn't be stingy." Xie Lang said, "The buckskin boots you wore last winter, you said they were the most comfortable shoes you've ever worn, and they won't get wet when you walk in the snow. It was your grandpa Zhongqing's mother who asked the maid at home to do it."
Xiaoqi: "I know. The third master also said that deerskin is very expensive. Third master, let's prepare three more jars. The third master often says that good things come in pairs, and we will give two jars to each of us."
"No need. Eating too much of this stuff is bad for your health." Xie Lang said.
Xiao Qi understood, "Isn't it right to get angry?"
of course not.But Xie Lang didn't know how to explain, "Yes. Do you want to go out and play for a while?"
"No more." Just after waking up, Xiao Qi was not in the mood, "I'll help the third master." As he spoke, he picked up the jar he could carry and headed towards the west side room.
Seeing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xie Lang threw it on the ground, shook his head and smiled, picked it up and took it back to the house.
When I came out, I was startled when I saw Xiao Qi dragging the biggest clay pot into the house, "I'll do it. The eggs in this pot are all raw. If you break it, the whole pot will be broken."
Xiao Qi quickly let go, "Is it so serious?"
"Of course! Because we don't know. It emits a bad smell. If we smell it and know it, it will be broken." Xie Lang said.
Xiao Qi: "I have to write this down." Then he ran into the house.
Xie Lang closed the door to the west side of the room, then packed up the things Hou Ge Hu Zi and Xiao Lang had brought back.
Now that the vines are fruiting, the meat is not good enough to hang on the vine trellis, so Xie Lang hangs the cleaned chicken and rabbits on the osmanthus tree.The osmanthus tree was clean, Xie Lang pointed to the southeast, and the three knew that they had to go hunting on the mountain.
The number of times has increased, now there is no need for Xie Lang to remind, Brother Hou saw that there was no meat on the osmanthus tree, so he called Hu Zi and Xiao Lang out.
Seeing that they are so sensible, Xie Lang regretted not starving them a few times earlier.Otherwise, you don't have to lead them all over the mountains and plains by yourself.
"Third Lord, I don't want to eat tonight." Seeing Xie Lang chop up a pheasant and marinate it with salt, Xiaoqi pointed at the chicken and said, "I don't want to eat this either tomorrow."
Xie Lang: "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat fish. Let's go to the ditch to catch fish." Xiao Qi said, "No one goes there. I heard from Xiaoma that the fish in it are as long as my arm."
Xie Lang glanced at Xiao Qi's arm, "So long?" Could it be the fry he put in for the first time.
"That's right. Xiaoma saw it when I went to herd the sheep with him. If it wasn't for the bamboo arrows under the ditch, he would have gone into the water to catch them." Xiao Qi said.
Xie Lang quickly said: "You must not enter the water."
"We know." Xiaoqi looked at him, "Is it okay? Third Master, I want to eat the fish you cooked in sauce, and then eat white rice. The sauce is poured on white rice, I don't eat fish, You can eat three bowls of rice."
Xie Lang laughed, "Of course you can. But you also need to eat more fish. You are growing your body. Only by eating fish can you grow taller."
"Sanlang, it's not good, something happened!"
Xie Lang's hands trembled, and he quickly put the chicken in the cabinet. When he got to the door, he saw an old man from the village with blood on his hands, "Who is it?"
"Not from our village."
Xie Lang blurted out, "The one who stole the fish?"
Several old people were very surprised, "How do you know?"
"Xiao Qi and I were talking just now that there is a big fish in the ditch, and they can't go down to catch it if they see it. There are bamboo arrows in it." Xie Lang said, looking at Xiao Qi, "Come with me, stay at home and watch the house ?”
Xiao Qi ran over, "I'm with the third master. Where are you from?"
"The one in Shanhuangli thinks that Lizheng in our village is still Qianlizheng, and I want to ask him to come over and accompany them for six pennies. You should go and have a look."
Xie Lang closed the door, "Xiaoqi, go find your second aunt."
"Why are you looking for him?" Xie Bowen ran out of the house when he heard the noise, "Ask her to return the money to Shanhuangli? Impossible."
Xie Lang said with a smile: "Of course not. In our village, she is the most swearing person. When there is a quarrel, tell her and sister-in-law to go first."
Xie Bowen's eyes lit up, "Good idea. Xie Guang, go find Qian Xiaohua. Just say, just say that Shanhuangli knows their family is rich and wants to blackmail them."
Qin Hong came out just in time to hear these two sentences, "You are so bad."
"Sister-in-law, go!" Xie Lang pointed to the north.
Not to mention Liu Che, he has a better choice, and he will not let Dongfang Shuo teach Xiaoqi.
Then again, since there was no one, Xie Lang pretended not to hear it.
Xie Lang cleaned up the stove and led the donkey into the house, then went to cut a basket of sweet potatoes and vines to feed the donkey.Then stewed the meat of the three birds, dug some old green vegetables and chopped them to feed the geese, and sat in the yard in a daze, watching the fire by the way.
The meat was stewed fragrant, Xie Lang fished out the meat with a nine-toothed rake.
As Xie Lang expected, Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang ran to sleep in the house after eating.The seemingly relaxed Dongfang Shuo really relaxed at this time.

Xiaoqi nodded her head, ran to the east living room, lay down on the couch, and snored.
Xie Lang hurried over, made him a pillow, closed the curtain, and winked at Dongfang Shuo, "Speak outside."

"Third Young Master, you're being polite." Dongfang Shuo smiled, took it and gave him a fist hug, "Thank you Third Young Master for pointing the way. I'll think about it when I go back."
Xie Lang nodded with a smile and stopped talking.Sending him to the intersection, watching him go away, Xie Lang gently closed the door, walked towards Xie Zhongwu's door, and asked the women who were chatting, "Have you discussed it yet?"
