Porridge and side dishes [farming]

The breeze is gentle, the blue waves in the lake are rippling, and the fragrance of lotus comes with the wind, accompanied by the fragrance of wine.

The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "They said, since I am a member of the village, I should live for the clan all my life. My marriage must be decided by the clan, and I must give the clan the best interests." They said that if I was in high school, I should do my best to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the future.

Li Yan is an ordinary girl, ordinary and inconspicuous, how could she catch the eyes of the profit-seeking clan members?

Li Ji gritted his teeth and panicked when he heard this, let alone the magistrate.

I thought they were members of the clan who were connected by blood, but I didn't want to be regarded as a tool for the wealth and honor of the clan.The county magistrate has indeed been cared for by the family since he was a child, and the county magistrate also has the intention of repaying it.But what they want is not the reward from the magistrate, but everything from the magistrate.They want the county magistrate to be the treasury of the family throughout his life, and even the marriage must maximize the family's etiquette.

In fact, these words are always common in big families. It seems that they are all nobles in the capital, and the county magistrate's family, who has been a farmer for generations, is fortunate to have some spare money to provide a few talents, so he began to imitate him. To get the Tao, the whole family must ascend to heaven.

"At that time, was sister Yan pregnant?"

The magistrate nodded: "At that time, I was still full of hope. I naively thought that God would not disappoint my lover. In the end, I only made a plea to them once, and they tied me back with a rope."

For the magistrate to be kidnapped by the clansmen, it is equivalent to disappearing from Li Yan's world suddenly.That's why Li Yan, who had nowhere to go, went back to the village with a full stomach.I wanted to find comfort from my family, but was desperate again and went to dig a hole in the mountains to survive.

This can also explain why the county magistrate disappeared for so long, and it also explains all of Li Yan's tragedies back then.

The county magistrate breathes in the cold desert, and the wine is hot after drinking, which can't warm the heart that has been chilled by the tribe.

"I can't forget those days now. When I returned to the clan, I was locked in a very small room with a very small door, and I could barely let in a little light. Every day someone brought food through the small window, and every day There will always be different people standing in front of the window admonishing me and persuading me. My parents, brothers, relatives, clan members. Every day I change the soup without changing the medicine. They all think that I am deviant, I have been fascinated by others, and I don’t even understand They are far and close. They even took a step back. They said that if I really like it, I just wait for the results after the scientific examination, go to Li Yan, and take her as a concubine. They will not stop them. They think they have made a big concession. Thanks Dade."

Locking a young man in such a dark place and "educating" in an almost forced way, has he ever treated the county magistrate as a person?

"It's ridiculous to say." The county magistrate smiled coldly, "There is an old saying that gentlemen and gentlemen are good-natured. It's natural for men and women to love each other, but they still have to leave such nonsense that their parents are in charge of marriage. It was also at that time I understand that if you don't want to be manipulated by others in your life, you must have the right not to be manipulated."

"So you went to take the next year's scientific examination?" Although Li Ji didn't understand the scientific examination, since the county magistrate can become the county magistrate now, it means that he did take the examination back then, and with certain grades, he can Be the lord of this county.

"I was a first-class candidate in high school, and I stayed in the capital to wait for the Holy Master to find a vacancy to send me there. At that time, I stayed in the capital and climbed up little by little since I was an official in the capital. People in the clan sent people to deal with it every three days. I dictated. The Holy One gave the house, and they want to move in. The Holy One has a reward, and they want to search for it. They used my banner to run amok in the capital, and even made a marriage without my knowledge."

Even if this matter is brought up now, the county magistrate gritted his teeth and said it.Which Beijing official from other provinces who came to Beijing was not trembling for fear of making a wrong move and leaving behind clues?They are still in the rising stage of official positions, and they can't wait to suck blood, intending to search for oil and water to feed themselves.

Li Ji only said: "But I think you won't let him go so easily."

"That's natural." From the moment the county magistrate was tied back to the clan, he had no intention of letting the clan take advantage of it.

"They found a marriage for me, so I taught that family's rivals to drink and talk happily. They went out to do things in my name, and I found the most unprovoked prince in the capital to run against them. Back then, the incident caused a lot of trouble in the city. , I was demoted one level, they were expelled from the capital, and they will not be allowed to enter the capital for the rest of their lives."

Just listening to the county magistrate's description, Li Ji could feel the splendor of that year.Although the county magistrate was downgraded to one level, it could avoid long-term troubles in the future.Li Ji thinks such a deal is worth it.

"Are they being honest?"

"How is it possible." The county magistrate will finish the follow-up, "I received a letter from them within two years. At that time, I was promoted to Wupin Zhongshu in the capital, and they signed a marriage certificate for me privately in other provinces. I married the daughter of a prefect in another province. My parents were also used as threats. Maybe God is helping me. I happened to assist in a corruption case involving that prefect. I asked my colleagues to send my clan and They were suspected of bribery, and they exchanged one of my marriage certificates for convenience from the magistrate. My home was ransacked, and the threatening letter was searched as it should be. Ironically, the threatening letter they used My letter has become evidence of my exoneration."

"Then what happened later?" This was much more exciting than storytelling, Li Ji didn't even bother to drink, and hurriedly asked the following.

"Later? Later, the whole family, except for me, was deprived of fame within three generations, and was banned from participating in scientific examinations for life. My father and mother were admitted to Beijing. They complained that I was too vicious to the people, and I blamed them for watching them suck My blood. On weekdays, people are busy, get together less and leave more, and they went there one after another in the past few years." Speaking of this, the county magistrate basically explained clearly what happened in the past 20 years.

Li Ji swallowed, and after thinking about it, he asked the doubt in his heart: "Boldly ask, have you married...a stepwife in these years?"

Theoretically speaking, the two are privately appointed for life, and their household registration is not registered, so they cannot be regarded as the wives of the county magistrate.But since the county magistrate said that Li Yan was his wife, then she is the county magistrate's wife.

"No." Speaking of this, it is the only pride of the magistrate for so many years, "I have overcome no matter how much pressure I have. It's just that I never thought that Li Yan could not survive."

Li Yan, the county grandpa likes to call these two characters by their full names.Because of these two words, he could already come to the softest place in his heart.

"Then...why didn't you come here sooner?" In the past few years, in order to gain the right to dominate himself, he fought with his clan members. It can be understood that he had no time. The county magistrate came to the capital two years ago, and the distance from Li Yan was far away 18 years and a little more.

For such a long time, what did the county magistrate do?

In fact, the county magistrate is also asking himself why he didn't come here earlier.

"I work in the middle of the capital. I take a day off every six days, that is, I have a day off. I usually have plants to do. The appointment of officials is approved by the Holy One. I have submitted papers several times and want to come here, even if I follow It's good for the imperial envoys to come over for inspection. It's a pity that this place is too remote, but any officials with some prospects will not forget to be dispatched here. Generally, businessmen in one position basically cycle every three years. In these three years, it is difficult to make any changes .”

Li Ji didn't know anything about the officialdom, and Li Ji couldn't understand what the magistrate said.I can only understand that the county magistrate didn't come back to find someone on purpose, he has his own helplessness.

"Then how did you come here?" Li Ji was puzzled.

"I came here." The county magistrate smiled sarcastically, "I have asked to come here many times, but I never got my wish. I didn't expect the traitor to be in power, dig a trap for me to go in, but he followed my wish."

There is no need to talk to Li Ji about the affairs in the officialdom, Li Ji can't understand anyway.The county magistrate was already a fifth-rank official when the clansmen were dealt with back then. Li Ji could imagine what kind of official position the county magistrate was in Beijing before he was demoted.It has definitely improved over the years.In the past two years since he came here, it has been peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

It is not difficult for Li Ji to imagine what kind of court would relegate such a person with great achievements to this poor mountain valley.

"You...have you thought about returning to the capital?" If the magistrate wants to return to the capital to continue serving as an official, will he take Er Gouzi away with him?

The answer is yes.How could the magistrate leave without taking his only son with him.

The county magistrate shook his head and gave Li Ji a reassurance: "At least not now. The sage is seriously ill, and the relatives of the empress dowager's mother's family are in power. There is already a mess in the court. Since I have planted their trap, I will think about it in the future. Turning over is also difficult. Why don't you just stay here, at least stay here, I can guarantee this pure land."

The county magistrate is working hard to ensure that the people in this area live and work in peace and contentment. No matter how many places there are, the county magistrate has no time to take care of them.

That's all a person's energy is, he is not a person who takes the safety of the world as his own responsibility.As long as he is in office, it is enough to have a clear conscience.

Having said so many heartfelt words to the magistrate, Li Ji was filled with emotion.If he hadn't heard the magistrate say this himself, how would he know that there were these twists and turns.

"These years have not been easy for you." This is Li Ji's summary after listening to so many stories.

"It's not as good as what happened to Li Yan." Back then, if it wasn't for being competitive and determined to climb up and get rid of the clansmen, but to accept it as soon as it was good, to try to be transferred here, or even to resign and come to look for Li Yan, maybe it wouldn't have happened. With Li Yan dying of depression, Er Gouzi would not be lost in the mountains and suffer so much.

It's a pity that there is no if.

The county magistrate owed their mother and daughter too much after all.

Li Ji bowed his head and was speechless, the more the magistrate said so, the more Li Ji couldn't take Er Gouzi away from him.

The county magistrate noticed Li Ji's strange behavior. At this time, the county magistrate was already drunk, and through the smell of alcohol, he suddenly said: "Answer me, you and Er Gouzi, are you, is there something... ..."

Li Ji raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with astonishment.

This performance alone is enough for the magistrate to understand everything.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the magistrate suppressed his emotions a few times before reluctantly asking: "How long has it been?"

"Less than a year." Li Ji replied honestly.

The magistrate of the county threw the quilt on the table suddenly, with anger brewing on his face, after all, he didn't really do anything to Li Ji.

"Now I can't control Chang'an, and I even want to follow him. So I have nothing to do with you. But it doesn't mean I will let you fool around. There are many men who like masculine sex in this world. I don't object, but if it affects After entering Chang'an, marry a wife and have children, I will not let you destroy him."

Li Ji didn't know where the courage came from, and asked back: "You can be his master?"

The county magistrate said: "I can't do it now, but I will do it someday."

Before hearing Li Ji's answer in time, the magistrate asked, "What? You don't believe me?"

"Of course I believe it." Li Jixiao sarcastically said, "It's just a reenactment of 20 years ago."

"Presumptuous!" the magistrate shouted angrily.

Li Ji looked at the magistrate without fear, opened his mouth and said four words stiffly: "The grass people are guilty."

The magistrate was trembling from Li Ji's anger, his lips trembled but he couldn't find anything to say.To put it more deeply, 20 years ago, why didn't the parents of the county magistrate have the same idea?

Even if the original intention of the magistrate is really for the good of Er Gouzi.

The county magistrate frowned: "You are a man."

Li Ji: "What's wrong with the man?"

The county magistrate: "You can't leave him a child."

Li Ji: "Why do you want a child?"

The more you talk about the magistrate's eyebrows, the deeper the frown: "Naturally, the family is passed on to the next generation. People grow old like a lamp goes out, and the children and grandchildren are happy at the knees, and the old age is sent to the end. After death, the incense is prosperous, and it is not in vain to be a human being."

Li Ji said: "What's the use?"

Or Ergouzi is the nemesis of the magistrate.What Er Gouzi blocked Li Ji back then, now Li Ji passed it on to the county magistrate intact.

Although it's uncomfortable to listen to, it's really enjoyable when it's used to block people.

The magistrate really couldn't bear the ultimate move passed on by his own son.Originally, the county magistrate was not a person who was too constrained by ordinary people's ideas, he himself was a deviant person.It's really unreasonable to give Er Gouzi things that he doesn't even look up to at this moment.

Li Ji went on to say: "To tell you the truth? The few words I told you were told to me by Er Gouzi back then. I'm giving it to you now. Think about it, if you can't find it all the time Er Gouzi, you didn't have a good death? You also said that death is like a lamp going out, and there are many things after death. There are many people with the surname Li in this world, and there are also many people with the surname Shen. This blood is not bad .”

Li Ji said again: "Determining whether a person's life is worthwhile depends on future generations. My lord, have you ever thought that this is wrong in itself?"

There is no absolute right or absolute wrong in this world.From different standpoints and from different angles of judgment, there really are those pure right and wrong black and white.

The county magistrate, who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years, should have understood this truth best.

The county magistrate never said anything about Li Ji.I even think what Li Ji said makes sense.

The county magistrate pondered for a moment, then said: "Then have you ever thought about it, even if I am enlightened, the world is not enlightened. One day you will be revealed to the world. Are you not afraid of being tolerated by the world?"

"Er Gouzi gave the answer a long time ago." Li Ji smiled freely, "He said, if there is no place for us to live, we will go back to the mountains to live. Seriously, if I wasn't here, Er Gouzi would have wanted to go back a long time ago .Although there are ferocious beasts on the mountain, as long as you master their laws, it is not completely dangerous. It is much safer than down the mountain. The malice between people is actually more terrifying. At least for Er Gouzi. "

Er Gouzi is used to the purity on the mountain, and when he goes down the mountain, he faces different people with different appearances.It is normal for him to protect himself firmly.

Li Ji drank the wine in his glass and left his seat.Kneeling in front of the county magistrate, he kowtowed solemnly.

After getting up, Li Ji said: "Let's drink up to this day's wine. I'm afraid Er Gouzi is in a hurry."

Li Ji didn't wait for the magistrate's intention, turned and left.

The conversation with the county magistrate let him know the county magistrate's helplessness.But Li Ji will not give up his current relationship with Er Gouzi because of his understanding of the county magistrate.

The tragedy of 20 years ago is enough, and Er Gouzi's happiness in the future, the two of them can manage together very well.

Li Ji left, but the magistrate was still reminiscing about the conversation they had just had.

Obviously, Li Jibi is more deviant than the county magistrate.

Li Ji drank a few glasses of wine, and now he felt hot and dry. He walked faster all the way, and he felt a burst of coolness when he opened the door and entered the room.

There are still ice cubes in the house, which is when it is cool.

As soon as he entered the room, Li Ji was hugged by Er Gouzi.

"Why did you come back?" Er Gouzi complained.

Li Ji broke out in a cold sweat at this moment, where did he still look plausible in front of the magistrate just now?Li Ji stretched out his hand to touch Er Gouzi, and gently kissed Er Gouzi's cheek: "Isn't this back?"

"What did you say?" Er Gouzi asked.

"Talked about a lot of things." After Li Ji finished speaking, he added, "A lot of things."

Li Ji took off his coat, took off his shoes and lay on the bed, sticking to Er Gouzi, and first explained Li Yan's matter clearly.

After Li Ji finished speaking, he made a conclusion: "Although it is adults who caused you mother and daughter to suffer so much, the county magistrate also has his helplessness. It has been so many years since Sister Yan knew about it, even Can’t name it, at least it’s clear to die.”

At least at the beginning, he wasn't really abandoned, but the magistrate was kidnapped by those blood-sucking clansmen.

After hearing this, Er Gouzi thought for a while before arriving: "My mother never mentioned him to me. But I saw that she didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and she looked at the stars outside and cried. I think, mother wants to him."

Li Ji reached out and stroked Er Gouzi's head.What can make Er Gouzi remember to this day must be a particularly deep impression, something that Li Yan often does.

"So he is really your father, someone you are very close to. You can try to get closer to him in the future, and he will not harm you." Although Li Ji was not very happy when he separated from the county magistrate, in all fairness, The future magistrate will be a good father.

"I'll listen to you." Er Gouzi's answer was simple and clear.

"He asked about us, and I admitted it. There's no need to hide from him about our being together. Even if we did, it wouldn't last long."

With the impatience of the magistrate, how could he not guess the tricks of the two?At most, it is sooner or later.

"Didn't it mean that no one can tell?" Er Gouzi didn't know why.

"He is your father. Even if you don't tell him, he will find out. It's normal for a father to disagree with us being together. Don't choke him. Wait until the day he figured it out, we two Even if it's over." Li Ji vaccinated Er Gouzi in advance.

Er Gouzi nodded to indicate that he had written it down.

"Then go to sleep." After tossing and tossing for a long time, Li Ji felt very tired when he returned to Ergouzi, and he just wanted to have a good sleep.

Maybe it was because he had spoken to the magistrate, but now Li Ji felt no pressure at all.Lying on the bed with Er Gouzi face to face, he fell asleep after a while, and slept very soundly.

Affected by Li Ji, Er Gouzi gradually felt sleepy just listening to Li Ji's breathing.

The next day, the two of them didn't wake up after three poles.The servants knocked on the door three times, but there was no movement inside.Knowing that these two masters are shy and don't like to be disturbed by others, the servants didn't care to wake up the two masters easily.

This breakfast can't be eaten until the two get up, the county magistrate is still waiting.

In the end, there was no way to inform the county magistrate. When the county magistrate heard about it, as a normal person, he thought about some charming things.Li Ji said so arrogantly last night, and it is natural to think that the two of them did something messy when they went back, and that's why they didn't wake up so late.

The county magistrate went directly into the courtyard of the two of them, and stood at the door, asking the servants beside him to knock on the door.

Er Gouzi was woken up first. In fact, Er Gouzi woke up when he came to call early, but he didn't get up when he saw Li Ji sleeping soundly. It was obvious that he didn't intend to let the two of them sleep when he knocked on the door this time. Li Ji covered the quilt, frowned and stood up to open the door.

Open the door, facing the county magistrate who is also frowning.

"What are you doing?" Ergouzi lowered his voice and asked.

Faced with Er Gouzi suddenly, the magistrate felt a little guilty, so he was naturally guilty.

"Li...Where's Li Ji? Haven't woken up yet?"

"Sleeping." Er Gouzi replied two words.

"Isn't everyone in your village waking up early and staying late? How come there are people who don't get up so late." The county magistrate asked.

"Why? You called him away to drink in the middle of the night. He is very tired and needs to rest." Er Gouzi said coldly.

The four eyes met, and the county magistrate read the resentment from Er Gouzi's eyes.

Maybe an illusion.

There were two dogs blocking them, the magistrate really didn't dare to bother them too much.He coughed in embarrassment: "Then ask him to get up and have breakfast. If he is really sleepy, he just needs to take a nap in the afternoon."

"Oh." Er Gouzi closed the door directly, turned back to the bedside and called Li Ji.

The county magistrate who was rejected by his own son, this time it was his grudge.

"Master, this meal..." The servant next to him reminded.

"Is there any more food for this meal? Don't eat it, go directly to the government office." The county magistrate felt uncomfortable and had nowhere to vent.The recovered son is devoted to others, what can the magistrate do?

Er Gouzi patted Er Gouzi's face lightly: "Wake up, Xiao Ji, it's time to eat."

Li Ji turned over, pushed Er Gouzi's tossing hands away, and muttered: "Don't make trouble, let me sleep a little longer."

Er Gouzi continued to work hard: "Go to sleep after eating, and I won't call you after eating."

"I woke up after eating." Li Ji muttered dissatisfied.Barely opened his eyes, he was still a little confused.

"Come on, get up." Er Gouzi helped Li Ji sit up, reached out to help Li Ji take off his nightgown, and put on his inner, middle, and outer coat.Li Ji let Er Gouzi play around like a puppet.

Until Er Gouzi dressed him, brought him to the dressing table, and immediately sat on the chair and looked at himself with fluffy hair, he was finally refreshed.

After he tied up his hair, Li Ji yawned with a big mouth, stood up and asked Er Gouzi to change his clothes, and he combed Er Gouzi's hair.

No matter when, Er Gouzi can't comb his hair well.If you leave him alone, his hair will be a mess, and he doesn't know how to tidy it up, nor does he want to tidy it up.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the body, hair and skin are influenced by their parents.Hair is also a part of the body.The hair is also called Sanqianqingsi, which represents all emotions, so when you become a monk, you have to shave your hair off.Usually, no matter how difficult the family is, the hair must be well-groomed, which is a kind of restraint.

Of course, the more important thing is that the hair style represents a person's appearance, and the appearance represents the image of a family.

Li Ji put on a hair crown for Er Gouzi, looking at Er Gouzi who became more and more delicate in the mirror, no matter how hard he knocked, he couldn't get enough.

After all, it is the child of the county magistrate, and the magistrate of Gen county is somewhat like him.Although Er Gouzi has an uncontrollable wildness because of his living environment since he was a child, but with the adaptation of the environment and the increase of time here, Er Gouzi is becoming more and more like a serious official son.

Er Gouzi is a serious official son.

"Let's go eat." Er Gouzi stood up and let Li Ji watch.But in Li Ji's eyes, eating is the biggest thing in the world, let Li Ji look at it casually, but eating must not be delayed.

It was already hot outside.When the servants outside saw the two masters finally came out, they rushed over and used umbrellas to shade the sun and fans.Li Ji rejected it several times to no avail, so he just accepted it.

Li Ji knew that what they were really serving was Er Gouzi, and they only treated him incidentally.

Because the county magistrate was not together, the two of them, together with Emei, tossed the people to serve the dishes, and went directly to the dining hall where they ate, and had breakfast with Er Gouzi.

Today's breakfast is specially made to be heavy. Originally, the county magistrate was relatively light, so some of the dishes made by the family are also light.Er Gouzi and Li Ji entered the house, although they didn't clearly state that the food should be washed well, but every time they ate, people remembered that they focused on which dishes to eat.

The dishes that the two of them ate more in the past two days were relatively strong, so the cooking took care of their tastes.

Breakfast is pancakes, some seasonal vegetable strips, and several sauces.Served with a bowl of soy milk and two plates of plates.four eggs.Simple yet rich.Two people are full enough.

Li Ji had never tasted this, so he asked his servants how to eat it, and soon found his favorite taste.More scallions, some lettuce and shredded green peppers with sweet bean sauce and minced meat.

Li Ji Leng, who usually eats less in the morning, is still full of food.

Maybe it's when I'm eating that I can think about nothing and become relaxed.

There are very few life lawsuits in the county, and in some places, there is no such thing as once in more than ten years.Of course, if the county government didn't get the letter, it doesn't mean that nothing happened.It's just that most of the accidents are resolved at home behind closed doors, rather than reporting to the government.

On the one hand, he was afraid of encountering a muddled official and arbitrarily adjudicating the case, on the other hand, he also felt that it would be embarrassing to come here.

So there are very few things that can cause trouble here. Except for delivering the official documents of the past month to the superior every month, and sending the letter of greetings to the capital, the county magistrate has relatively loose spare time.

It is relatively relaxed when there is nothing to do, and it is busy enough when there is something to do.

Li Ji and Er Gouzi have been in the mansion for four days and stayed for three nights, let alone Er Gouzi, Li Ji has never stayed outside for such a long time since he was a child.When I was young, I went to live with my elder brother for two days at most, no matter how long it was, Li Ji father was afraid that he would disturb his elder brother's family life, so he took him back.

This time the distance is so far away, Er Gouzi is homesick, in fact, Li Ji misses home no less than Er Gouzi.

It's just that I still can't see the way home.When he will be able to return home is still unknown.

After dinner, I remembered the embarrassing situation with the county magistrate again.Li Ji sighed and got a little angry again.

The two couldn't stay idle, and started playing chess to relieve their boredom.Li Ji couldn't drink any tea from the mansion, and couldn't even buy it in the county.Li Ji is greedy for tea, although he doesn't understand it, but he drinks a lot, so he can tell the difference between good and bad tea.

Today is black tea.The taste is softer and more mellow.Li Ji liked it so much, he opened his mouth to ask what kind of tea he wanted, but closed it again.

So what?Anyway, he couldn't afford it or was reluctant to buy it.

This tea is also drunk in the county grandpa's mansion, and it cannot be drunk in other places.

"General." Li Ji leaped towards Er Gouzi's handsome man.The Ergouzi movers blocked, Li Ji started to cross the river again and continued to attack.

The biggest charm of playing this game lies in the game, so no one gives in to anyone, and you come and go to pass the time.

The two are obsessed with playing chess, which is the best for chess players.If they don't wander around, they don't have to follow hard, for fear of making mistakes.

Especially Ergouzi, you really have the ability to go to heaven and earth.But the servants are all ordinary people, and their heart trembles when they look at it.

In the next issue here, the tea and fruit snacks have not stopped, and when they run out, someone will continue to serve them, and they will be delivered in different ways. Li Ji's stomach has never been empty, and he eats earlier in the morning, and Li Ji waited until noon Not hungry.

Li Ji asked Er Gouzi if he was hungry, Er Gouzi shook his head.Seeing that Li Ji ate a lot in the morning, Er Gouzi ate more, so he is not hungry now.

The servants came over and asked what they would like to eat at noon, and Li Ji said three bowls of noodles would do, one bowl for Li Ji, and two bowls for Er Gouzi.

This is what they meant, and the servants got the order to do it.

The game of chess between the two of them was over immediately, and the noodles were served.

The noodles are not pure white, they are gray with a little transparent color, there is a lot of soup, there are a lot of sauces and a green side dish in the middle.

The two immediately stopped the chess game, took the noodles, mixed them evenly and took a bite.The two looked at each other at the same time, with some surprise.

I can't tell what the noodles are made of, but they are surprisingly delicious.There is nothing unpalatable in the county grandfather's mansion, but the noodles are really delicious.

The taste of the noodles is very strong, with a little salty taste, and the soup is pure noodle soup, what kind of broth should it be.The sauce is meat sauce, with vegetables, the taste is perfect when it enters the mouth, it is delicious.

Li Ji picked up another piece of head, took a big mouthful, and narrowed his eyes satisfied.Now he just thinks that he is willing to eat this noodles every day.

Soon a bowl of noodles was eaten, and the servants hurriedly asked if they still wanted to eat.Li Ji wanted to eat another bowl, but he ate too much dim sum, and there was really no room in his stomach.I can only refuse.Looking at Er Gouzi across the way, he was still unsatisfied after eating both bowls of noodles. He opened his eyes and looked at Li Ji, as if he was waiting for Li Ji to nod and let him eat another bowl.

"Didn't you say control point? Don't eat it now. If you like it, eat it at night." Li Ji cruelly rejected Er Gouzi's request and continued the unfinished chess game just now.

In the afternoon, I was so scared and tired that playing chess was bothering me.It's enough to pass the time, but you need to take a good rest after playing too much.

Unknowingly, I walked to the fruit forest I had been to before.Li Ji looked up at the fruits on the book, and some of them were already red.

The plum tree that Er Gouzi visited last time, the fruit on it is much redder than last time, and it will taste a little sweeter at this time.

Li Ji still remembered the way Er Gouzi climbed the tree to scare the people down last time, and tried not to express his desire to eat.

But the servants are prepared.

A servant took two steps forward and said: "Mr. Li, if you are Xingchi, it will be easy for you to use the fruit in your hand. We have a bamboo pole for sticking, and a cloth is attached to the bottom, and it is not afraid of falling on the ground. Shall we go and prepare?"

It is of course good to lay the fruit.Li Ji nodded, waited for them to bring something, and began to break the fruit on the tree.

Fruit threshing is a technical task, especially when it is not yet fully mature. If it is not done well, the branches and leaves will be smashed together, which will affect the harvest of the next year.

Li Ji tried for a while and broke two small branches, feeling very distressed.Simply send the bamboo pole to Er Gouzi's hands.

Er Gouzi's control power is obviously much stronger than Li Ji's. After a few times, he can master the power well without hurting the fruit or the tree.

It is also a pleasure for Li Ji to follow the three servants to pull the cloth and catch the fruit, chasing the fallen fruit.

The county magistrate was actually watching from not far away.Every time Er Gouzi laid fruit, he would take a special look at Li Ji, and when he saw Li Ji smiling, Er Gouzi's smile became even brighter.

Every emotion and action of Li Ji is infecting Er Gouzi, and in Er Gouzi's eyes, Li Ji is always the only one.

After so many years of ups and downs, the county magistrate has not seen such a pure emotional relationship for a long time.In a trance, I really want to go back to the spring 20 years ago.

I met Li Yan that year, and so far, the happiest days in the county magistrate's 30-plus years of life are the days that I will never go back.

The county magistrate remembered what Li Ji said last night.If he really insists on stopping the two, will there be a 20-year tragedy?

But they are all men, and they have unreasonable human ethics, which is not tolerated in the world.

If Ergouzi is willing to marry a wife and have children, the county magistrate doesn't care about having Li Ji by Ergouzi's side.After all, the magistrate of the county has seen too many men have male concubines, but the premise of these is that it does not affect the succession of the family.

The county magistrate has been in love with Li Yan all his life, and Er Gouzi is the county magistrate's child, and most likely he is also a transferee.If Er Gouzi really has no two minds in his life, what should he do?

The magistrate of the county is not a person who attaches great importance to children, otherwise, after all these years, he would not have known that the possibility of finding Li Yan's mother and child was very slim, and insisted on not marrying a wife and taking concubines.Withstanding the pressure of my parents and standing around, I have persisted until now.

The county magistrate doesn't want the two of them to be together in his heart, but if the two insist on being together, to be honest, the county magistrate can't control too much.

After all, Er Gouzi is not close to the county magistrate now, so this "father" is just in name only.

Another batch of fruits was crushed, and Li Ji and the servants picked them out and put them into a small basket. Li Ji was greedy, so he picked up a green apricot, wiped it with his hands, and bit it into his mouth.

The servants wanted to remind them that it was unhygienic, and it was best to wash them before eating them, but they swallowed their words when they saw that Li Ji had eaten them in two mouthfuls. They just acted faster, washed the fruits after they were collected, and then sent them over to eat .

"After washing, remember to send a copy to the master. In fact, the unripe fruit has a special flavor, and it tastes crisp."

After making three small baskets, Li Ji asked them to wash out four dishes, send two dishes to the county magistrate, eat two dishes with Er Gouzi, and share the rest among the servants.

This unripe fruit can also be eaten, basically only children from poor families know.Because the rich families seldom go to the orchard to pick the fruit in person, they wait for the fruit to ripen, and the servants pick it, wash it, and send it over.

Only children from poor families have no snacks, and they will try everything when they get hungry.I don't know who was the first to discover it. It has been passed down for a long time. The older children and the younger children discovered a lot of hidden delicacies in this way.

The magistrate did not go directly to talk to them, but simply left.

He was in a bad mood and needed to calm down.

I still ate the noodles that I ate at noon that night.His stomach was finally empty, and Li Ji ate three full bowls to enjoy himself.The servants were afraid that he would be in time, so they quickly brought a bowl of Jianweixiaoshi soup for Li Ji to drink.Er Gouzi ate five bowls, but Er Gouzi's appetite is obvious to all, so there is no need to worry.

This noodle is really delicious, and Li Ji is too embarrassed to ask how it is made.

The county magistrate didn't come back when we had dinner at night, Li Ji
