I am old in the Han Dynasty

Wei Qing shook his head, "You said that the result can be changed. It's better not to be allowed."

"It would be great if your Majesty could think the same way." Xie Lang said with emotion.

Wei Qing: "I am different from Your Majesty. Your Majesty believes in fate, and I believe in myself even more."

"Me too." Xie Lang handed him an oyster, "Eat this one while it's hot. It would have been more delicious if I put some garlic in it. But the garlic smell is too strong, so I didn't put it in. Let's eat it."

Although the dishes are simple, even Liu Che's ingredients are hard to find fresh.When he said it turned into improvisation, Wei Qing couldn't help laughing, "It's not ordinary improvisation."

"It's very good." Xiao Qi said.

Wei Qing glanced at him, "You will know in the future whether it is very good or not."

"Why?" The child didn't understand.

Wei Qing: "You are too young, even if I tell you that you can't understand it now. When you are as old as Xie Guang, you will understand it even if I don't tell you."

"My third grandfather said the same thing."

Wei Qing nodded, "Your third master is right."

"Okay." The child shook his head and picked up a piece of bread, "Grandpa Zhongqing, you haven't eaten stir fry yet. Next time you come to buy some meat, ask my third master to make stir fry for you. Keep my chicken Lay eggs, you can't kill any more."

Wei Qing: "What?"

"Stirrer, is stirrer soup that has been stirred and eaten."

Wei Qing didn't believe it, "Stir soup? Is there such a food?"

"That's right. My third master made it with chicken. It's delicious. I ate a big bowl." Xiao Qi gestured to his own ceramic bowl.

Wei Qing still wanted to ask, but when he saw the wry smile on Xie Lang's face, he immediately guessed something was wrong, "I'll try to come here before I leave."

"Where are you going?"

Xie Lang: "Xiaoqi, do you still want your grandpa Zhongqing to eat?"

"Well, let's talk about it after dinner." The child forgot about it after dinner.

Xie Lang led the donkey and asked Xiao Qi to accompany him to see Wei Qing off. Xiao Qi mistook Wei Qing for going home, and ran outside excitedly, "I don't want to ride a donkey, I want to ride a horse."

"Come here." Wei Qing stretched out his hand to him, "I'll carry you up."

Xiao Qi immediately rushed towards Wei Qing.

Wei Qing sent him up and got on his horse.

Xie Lang frowned slightly, "Zhongqing, why are your feet hanging outside?"

"Which one?" Wei Qing looked down, "That's it. Have you ever ridden a horse?"

Xie Lang has ridden a few times, "If you don't fix your feet on the sides of the horse, it will be uncomfortable when you run."

"You want me to tie it up?" Chief Wei tentatively asked.

Xie Lang shook his head, "No. Make your saddle a bit longer and hang down to your feet. Put a cover here, and your feet will wear it in the cover so that your legs won't wobble when you run. Fight against others , and the body won't—"

"Wait, wait, let me think about it." What Xie Lang said was too abstract, Wei Qing got off his horse and drew it on the ground, his eyes lit up, "Sanlang, is it—"

"Sanlang, what are you doing?"

Wei Qing almost choked, the people in the silkworm farm were really annoying.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Xie Lang turned his head and asked.

Sun Fang came over: "I heard from the villagers that you plan to send Xiao Qi to Prince Wang, is it true?"

"Fake." Xiao Qi said loudly while lying on the horse's back.

Sun Fang was startled, "Then, what are you guys doing here?"

"Go to the city." The child answered.

Sun Fang turned to Xie Lang, "We still have to go."

"It's still early next year. It's too early to say these things now." Xie Lang locked the door, rolled over on the donkey's back, "Zhongqing, let's go."

Sun Fang hurriedly followed, "Come back after leaving?"

Xie Lang sighed, "Our Brother Hou, Huzi and Xiaolang are still in the house."

Out of the corner of her eye, Sun Fang noticed that his cattle were still tethered outside, so she felt relieved, "It's getting late, come back when you get to the city."

"I know, I know." Xie Lang winked at Wei Qing, "On the road."

Wei Qing got on his horse and asked after getting out of the silkworm farm, "Is this the one your elder brother married later?"

"Yes." Xiao Qi, who was sitting in front of Wei Qing, nodded her head.

Wei Qing was not used to it, and was almost scared off by him, "I'm talking to your third master, don't interrupt, just listen."

"Why are you the same as Grandpa Meng Da?" The child turned his head and snorted at Wei Qing, then reached out to Xie Lang, "Third Master, I don't want to ride a horse."

Xie Lang scowled, "Give me a moment to be honest!"

The child quickly put down his hands and sat down obediently.

"What are you trying to figure out?" Wei Qing glanced at the child, then turned to Xie Lang, waiting for his answer.

Xie Lang: "My sister-in-law is a nice person. She never hides her secrets when she helps me. She probably cherishes the present life too much. Any trouble in the village can scare her into a loss. I guess she heard the nonsense from the women in the village again. Just now That's why you're so nervous."

"The women in your village are all idle."

Xie Lang said with a smile: "Business doesn't stop them from chattering. When harvesting wheat in summer, it's so hot. If I come back from harvesting the wheat for a day, I'll hurry home and take a shower. They can talk at the intersection until the moon is in full bloom."

"Where are there so many words?" Wei Qing wondered.

Xie Lang: "The parents and the west are chatting."

"Yes!" Xiaoqi nodded, "My family cooks meat once, and they can talk about it for three days. Isn't it amazing? Grandpa Zhongqing."

Xie Lang couldn't help turning to him, "How do you know?"

"I've heard it." Xiao Qi looked up at Wei Qing, and seeing that Wei Qing had no intention of opening his mouth, he dared to continue, "He also said that our family's money would be eaten up by us. Third Master, do we still have money in our family? "

Xie Lang nodded, "Yes. It was you who told me that there is still half of the money jar in it."

The child remembered, "Then, can we buy a chicken in the city?"

Wei Qing almost laughed, "Aren't you afraid they will say it?"

"Don't be afraid. When my third master is ready, I will take the big chicken drumsticks to eat in front of them." Xiao Qi turned to Xie Lang, "Third master, I am smart."

Xie Lang was curious, "Who did you learn from?"

"Xie Guang." Xiao Qi blurted out.

Xie Lang: "When?"

"In the school. Uncle Xie Guang and I told them that they also said the third master, Uncle Xie Guang taught me." Xiao Qi said, with a disturbed face, "Can't you do this?"

Wei Qing patted his head, "Yes. Xiao Qi is really smart." Glancing at Xie Lang, you must have taught me.

"I told you before, the time my aunt came." Xie Lang reminded him.

Wei Qing remembered, "I'll buy you two chickens in the city. You'll eat one tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhongqing." Xiao Qi was immediately happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

Wei Qing shook his head and laughed, "Sanlang, I think what you just said is feasible."

"Then give it a try. I haven't studied that thing carefully, and I don't use it often." Xie Lang said, "It can't help you much."

Wei Qing was curious, "Do you usually ride a donkey when you go out?"

"By car or boat." Xie Lang really wanted to talk about flying, but worried that Wei Qing would faint from fright, so he added, "The waterway over there is more convenient than here."

Wei Qing did not doubt him, "I will report to His Majesty when I go back?"

"Whatever you want." Xie Lang said with a smile, "However, if he thinks it's easy to use and thinks that I deliberately delayed talking until now, you should help me persuade him."

Wei Qing nodded, "I know. Xiaoqi, don't move around."

"The butt is uncomfortable." The child frowned.

Wei Qing: "It's the same for the first time riding a horse. It will be good to get used to it after riding a few more times."

"But I don't have a horse at home." The child blurted out.

Xie Lang continued: "I will sell the cow tomorrow and buy you a donkey. Let's ride the donkey to the city."

"Okay." The child asked hurriedly, "Tomorrow?"

Xie Lang asked without answering, "Will you eat chicken tomorrow?"

The child was in trouble immediately, wanting to eat but also wanting to go to the city, "Then, let's wait a few days."

"The cow is sold, and you use the donkey to plow the land?" Wei Qing couldn't help asking.

Xie Lang nodded, "My cattle are getting old, if they don't sell this year, they will have to sell next year."

This year is the fourth year that Wei Qing has known Xie Lang, and his family's cow is also four years old, "You must take it to the city to sell. You can't sell it privately."

"I know." Xie Lang said with a smile, "I'm a good village chief who abides by the law."

Wei Qing believed in Xie Lang, but he was afraid that Xie Lang would be lazy and save trouble, so he sold the cow halfway there, "I saw that your pigpen is empty, don't you plan to raise pigs?"

"It's too troublesome. Feed three meals a day, and if you miss one meal, you can moan until midnight." Xie Lang said, "There are a lot of pigs in the village now, and Xiaoqi's aunt and my cousin also raise a few pigs. By the end of the year, the price of pork It will definitely change. I plan to raise a few sheep, tie them to the mulberry forest, and bring them back when it gets dark."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but said, "I can herd sheep, but I can't feed pigs."

"Yes, you will. You can help me raise the sheep. When the farming is busy, just get some bean stalks or sweet potato vines for them to eat." Xie Lang said.

Xiaoqi: "When shall we buy sheep?"

"I'll buy it when I get back." Went to the city with Wei Qing, Xie Lang accepted the two chickens he gave Xiao Qi, and took Xiao Qi back.

At the door of the house, Xie Lang was so frightened that he almost fell off the donkey.

"What are you doing here?" Xie Lang came down with Xiao Qi in his arms, and asked the adults and children gathered at his door.

"Sanlang, are you back? There are two chickens? You go to the city to buy chickens."

"My grandfather Zhongqing bought it." Xiao Qi slid off Xie Lang, raised his head and said to everyone, "We will eat one tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I won't give it to you." Xie Lang's hand, "Third Lord, open the door."

Xie Lang opened the door, let the child in, looked at everyone with a smile, "worried that I won't come back?"

"No, no, it's the coolness at your door, we're here to enjoy the coolness."

The end of March and the beginning of April, the best season of the year, neither hot nor cold, the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wafting from the yard outside his house is more convincing than enjoying the cool.

"Then I won't bother you." Xie Lang led the donkey in and closed the door.

Xie Dalang's wife, Sun Fang, couldn't help but say, "I said that Sanlang will come back when he arrives in the city, but you still don't believe me."

"It's not that we don't believe you, but we don't believe him." He glanced at Xie Lang's house.

Feng Ying couldn't help asking, "What's the difference?"

"The difference is huge."

Sun Fang pointed at the cow, "This is still there."

"There are so many people in Mr. Wang's family. If Sanlang doesn't want to come back, Mr. Wang can get ten cows to the city for him." What's more, there is only one cow.

Feng Ying was convinced, "I don't have as many reasons as you. Just stay here and watch. I'll go home."

"Who will guard him. Let's go home too."

Feng Ying stopped, "That's not what you said just now."

"That's because Sanlang didn't come back." Qin Hong, who was standing around at the door of her house, glanced at the crowd, sighed helplessly, and called Xie Guang, "Come and help me pack my things."

Xie Guang ran into the house and asked, "What are you packing?"

"Your Uncle Sanlang asked Mr. Wang that you can also use money to pay for labor this year. Your father means that if he doesn't go, the house will be demolished in a few days, and we will build a house." Qin Hong said.

Xie Guang was overjoyed, "Uncle Jiansanlang?"

"That's right. Your father said that the building is as high and wide as his, so I can marry you in a few years." Qin Hong said with a smile.

Xie Guang paused, "Isn't it easy for Uncle Sanlang to kiss you?"

Qin Hong nodded, "After completing his military service next year, someone should marry him."

"What about Xiaoqi?" Xie Guang worried, "I heard people say that as long as there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. Get married to Uncle Sanlang tomorrow, so Xiaoqi is the stepgrandmother."

Qin Hong turned her head and looked to the west, "Your Uncle Sanlang is not that kind of person. It's not that all stepmothers are bad. Pony's stepmother is pretty good."

Xie Guang thought of Sun Fang, "She has a child with her, and she counts on Uncle Da Lang to help her raise the child, so she doesn't dare to trample on a pony."

"Don't worry about this matter." Xie Bowen came out of the house with the quilt in his arms. "The two sons of the Wang family are so kind to San Lang. It is not up to people in our village to intervene in San Lang's marriage. They will definitely help him choose a reasonable, gentle and virtuous man." wife."

After what he said, Qin Hong and Xie Guang also realized that they were thinking too much.The mother and son immediately went to the house to pack their things.

Xie Lang put the donkey in the cow pen, feeling the silence outside and didn't open the door.

He took a piece of meat from under the vine, threw it into a pottery urn, and asked Xiao Qi to watch the fire, and he went to heat up the noon dishes.Then one big and one small sat next to the simple stove, had dinner, and stewed meat for the three by the way.

The three teeth are good, the meat does not need to be stewed, after the meal, the meat in the urn is cooked, Xie Lang fished it out, watched the three of them finish eating without fighting, and then went to bring the cow in.

Taking advantage of Xiao Qi's inattention, he added some grass to the trough, and Xie Lang went to boil hot water.

After washing up, the sky darkened, Xie Lang closed the doors and windows, took the oil lamp and went to the living room to stare at the child reciting the book.

In the morning of the next day, Xie Lang sent Xiao Qi to the school, and asked the villagers to buy four lambs.

In the afternoon, Xie Lang asked Xiao Qi and Xiao Ma to go to the mulberry forest in the southeast to herd sheep. He cleaned the pen and cleaned up the cattle, and took the cattle to the city the next morning.

At noon, when Xiaoqi came back from school, he saw a little donkey at the door, and ran into the house with his schoolbag, "Master, my donkey?"

"It's your donkey." Xie Lang came out with the chicken, "Put it in the house, come and help me pluck the chicken feathers."

Xiaoqi raised his hand and threw the bag into the main room, then turned and ran outside.

Xie Lang heard a bang, turned his head and looked, the bag fell on the table, "Xie Xiaoqi!"

Xiao Qi suddenly stopped, "What's the matter? Third Master."

"Do you want to be beaten? You broke the bamboo slips and inkstone with such great strength." Xie Lang asked, "Do you still need it tomorrow?"

"Xiaoqi forgot to take the inkstone."

Xie Lang turned around and saw Xie Guang, "What do you mean?"

"I used mine. There is only one book in his bag." Xie Guang said.

Xie Lang raised his hand and threw the chicken into the basin, "Xie Xiaoqi! Your skin is itchy, isn't it? You don't take a pen, ink and inkstone to school, what school are you going to. Come here!"

"I, I'll go, you can't hit me." The child looked at Xie Lang, "I, I was too anxious, I forgot."

Xie Lang pointed to the school to the south, "It's a few dozen steps away, why are you in a hurry?"

"I--"

"Where is Xie Sanlang's house?"

Xie Lang turned his head to look, "I am Xie Sanlang. Who are you?" Looking at the four people dressed as yamen servants, "What did I do?"

"Someone sued you for privately buying and selling farm cattle."
