There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

"It's not for you, listen to me." Wu Youwei said, "You bring the money back, how much is a cow now?"

"Spring plowing is more expensive, 40 taels." Wu Erdao: "The small family has cattle."

"You have one, others don't." Wu Youwei asked him, "How many houses do you have without big animals?"

"The three donkeys belong to the younger one's three sons-in-law's family. The younger one's in-law's family has a cow, and the younger one's family also has a cow." Wu Er said honestly: "The younger one's in-law's family is also the same as the younger one. , and he is better than the younger one, he can settle accounts, and he can read a few words.

Wu Youwei...

Of the twelve households in the co-authored area, half of them are relatives of Wu Er!

"The family without cattle is the younger sworn brother, and it was also arranged by the old man. It is similar to the young one's background, because he has neither name nor surname, so we follow the old man's surname. Although his family has no cattle, we all use farming instead. Niu, his family's four boys and one daughter are all married." Wu Er really had something to say.

Wu Youwei...! ! "

He thought wrong just now, not half of them are relatives with Wu Er, but they are all relatives.

"So, there are a total of twelve families there, actually only two?" Wu Youwei calculated carefully: "Your name is Wu Er, what is the name of your righteous brother?"

"Wu Da." Wu Er said very sincerely: "Brother is good at everything, but he is not very good at talking, so I became the head of the village, and he will be the head of the village."

These days, the head of the village directly deals with the government, while the head of the village is in charge of the villagers.

In fact, that village is too small, with twelve households, it barely qualifies as a village.

These people are the team left by Mrs. Wu to his youngest son, Wu servant Wu Youwei. Although they are all farmers, they are loyal.

And Mr. Wu did a good job. He didn't let these people become slaves. Instead, he gave them good citizenship, so that they can straighten their waists and be ordinary people. Even if they see noble people, they will say "" Grassroots" rather than "slaves".How could these people not draw near to him?Not grateful to him?

Especially Wu Da and Wu Er, seeing the third generation at home, the first generation is an orphan with no ancestry to trace back, so naturally they cannot take the imperial examination; the second generation is a standard farmer who only cares about the soil There is no time to study, let alone the imperial examinations; the third generation is different.

Now the life of the Wu family is better, with some savings, although there is not much land, isn't it still possible to rent the little master's field for planting?

I have two money in the past two years, and the third generation will come soon. When I was a child, I will raise it well. When I grow up, I may be able to come back with a degree of fame and change my family. It's just around the corner!

Of course, they thought well, but they also knew the cruelty of reality. Back then, the master had never been admitted as a scholar, and the children of their peasant family didn't know if they would have that fate.

However, it is good to have hope, and it is better than despair, so they are grateful to Mrs. Wu from the bottom of their hearts for taking good care of the fields under Wu Youwei's name.

Who is Wu You?

After thinking about it, I understood the old master Wu's arrangement, which was to trap three generations of his grandparents in place of Wu Youwei.

Sure enough, he is a smart man!

After Wu Youwei figured this out, he immediately looked at the old man whom he had never met with admiration.

In the past, just because he was an old fool, his second son was suffocated to death by his first wife, and he didn't know it!

Now I feel that this person is not bad!

Thinking of this, Wu Youwei said softly: "Even if there are farming cattle, there are only two. After you go back, use the 500 taels to buy ten farming cattle, plus your two families, one for each family. The donkey can be used to do some farm work, such as pulling a stone mill to make tofu, or grinding a millstone. For the rest of the money, you can figure it out and beat all my village, Shangdilong, that winter Hot, I think, after the removal of filial piety, you will have a family.

After the separation, he planned to live there.

"Yes, thank you, young master!" Wu Er bowed immediately, and the whole family would be fine, of course.

There is a difference between having oxen and not oxen. There will be a little more land, and maybe more grain can be harvested!

"Let each family raise ten or eight chickens, a few ducks and a few big geese, and a family add two pigs. I will pay for the offspring of these poultry and livestock." Wu Youwei said: "If you raise a little poultry and livestock, you can also be able to do it in the future." Have a bite of meat."

In ancient times, eating was a big problem, especially when it came to oil and water. Common people were really reluctant to eat oil on weekdays. The oil boiled after a pig was slaughtered would take a year to eat.

"Yes!" Wu Er was even happier.

The young master deserves to be the person protected by the old man, and he is as kind-hearted as the old man.

He took the bank note, folded it neatly and put it in his pocket: "I'm going to buy a ox now, but the ox must be in your name.

Wu Youwei nodded: "Sure, I asked Xiao Xiao to take my name card and go with you."

When Wu Er left, not only Xiao Xiao followed, but Wu Xu also followed him back in a carriage. Wu Youwei asked Furong to open a warehouse and brought back 24 bolts of coarse cloth and twelve bolts of fine cloth for Wu Er.

There was no old man in Mo Ling Village, so Wu Youwei brought him coarse and fine cloth, both of which they needed.

And separately gave Wu Da and Wu Er two extra bolts of silk and two bolts of satin.

Wu Er was so happy that he couldn't hold his tongue from ear to ear. This time when he entered the capital, he went to the place where he bought cattle and picked out ten of them. Because he wanted more, they gave him one tael cheaper.

After that, I bought a lot of seeds of fruits and vegetables, as well as some salt, big meat and so on.

I wanted to buy some snacks for Xiaoxiao, but Xiaoxiao didn't do it, so Xiaoxiao took him and Wu Xu to order a big bowl of noodles with meat in a small shop. There is money in it!

After Wu Er left, Wu Youwei called the butler over.

The housekeeper got a headache when he heard him call, but he had to come. Last year, his son was punished once. This year, the couple are very honest.

Really!

God is the proof

When Wu Youwei saw the housekeeper, he said a word: "I don't want people to know that Wu Er came to see me today.

"Yes!" The butler quickly agreed.

In fact, Wu Er came to find the young master, he knew it, it was just a farmer looking for the young master, he didn't know what he said specifically, the young master said that no one would know, who this "person" refers to, he understood .

Sure enough, there was no movement from Wu Sun's side, Mrs. Wu couldn't sit still, she called the housekeeper's wife over and asked her: "I heard that someone came to look for the young master?"

The housekeeper bowed her head because she got what her husband said, and replied: "It was sent by a classmate of the young master. That master Juren lived in that farmer's house in the past. It is said that they...

"Come on, come on!" Mrs. Wu waved her hand: "Since it's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

"Yes." The housekeeper then changed the subject: "Now that the spring shirts have been sent out, should we start cutting the summer shirts now? And the shoes...

When she got out of the upper room in the backyard, she went back to the servant's room, just in time to communicate with the butler, everything went well, the old lady heard that they were classmates of the young master, and she was not interested in knowing what they did.

It's all because of the little master's classmates who come too often.

Instead of coming to the door by themselves, they sent people to deliver things, books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The old lady was nervous, angry, and furious from the very beginning, but now she has lost her temper.

In the final analysis, Wu Youwei is a man who lives in the front yard, and he is a juror; she is an old woman who lives in the backyard, and she can't control that far!

In the past, it was the original owner who couldn't stand up and didn't understand the world, but now that Wu Youwei is here, the old lady has nothing to do.

Besides, she still had things to pay attention to, so she could only stare at Wu Youwei.

The housekeeper quickly notified Wu Youwei that nothing happened!

Wu Youwei was relieved and concentrated on reading at home. Now he is still reading the classics of filial piety.

In a few days, Li Dongyang invited him out for dinner in a small shop. The white-cut mutton in this shop was very delicious. He chose this place to take care of Wu Youwei.

Just the two of them, the servant and Chang Sui opened another table, and they all ate the same food.

White-cut mutton, mutton steamed buns, haggis soup, all served, Wu Youwei smelled delicious!

Li Dongyang pointed to a stack of white flour buns and said, "Can you make buns?"

"Yes!" Wu Youwei happily showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves. He brought a large bowl of soup, half a bowl of soup, and began to break the buns. His posture was skillful.

In my previous life, I had a classmate who was from Xi’an, and he was very good at eating. When he was just in college, he wandered all over the city and found three most authentic mutton steamed buns. Solve the pain of homesickness.

They also went there to eat several times. It was really delicious, but it was too far away from the school. Usually, other than him, they would go with a few friends who were greedy. Wu Youwei didn't like to go out at that time, so he squatted in the library to read All kinds of books to get by.Eating it now, it really has an authentic flavor, but it's just a little nostalgic.

"I didn't expect Brother Youwei to eat this!" Li Dongyang was really surprised: "Brother Yu brought them over to eat, none of them would!

"I... have brought me here many times..." Wu Youwei was already depressed, so he found a reason: "Be careful when entering the house."

"Can't it?" Li Dongyang didn't quite believe it.

"In the past, my second elder brother was also smart, but ever since he started studying, he was coaxed to go to school by a dude. , But later, every time the imperial examinations were held, he would either have diarrhea, be sick and have a fever, or simply sleep with an inexplicable woman..." Wu Youwei deliberately said vaguely: "When he was thirty , achieving nothing, stupefied with aggrieved drunkenness and dreams.

"So serious?" Li Dongyang frowned: "Madam Wu also...

After all, he is the elder of the other party, his aunt, and his wife. Li Dongyang didn't want to say much. He thought it was not that serious at first, but now he heard what the person said, and he immediately felt that the Wu family's house was really like an officialdom. There is no stopping.

Moreover, he has already missed a concubine son. Judging by Wu Youwei's appearance, it is said that Mrs. Wu took special care of the young son during his lifetime, and even bought him property in advance.

"Let's not talk about that, I can eat more for today's meal." Wu Youwei ate mutton with chopsticks. This ancient mutton is really pure and natural!

Without any feed, the mutton that grew up eating grass and drinking clear water has no smell. In addition, the mutton is filled with enough ingredients, which is very appetizing. After taking a bite, the whole body is warm and has a kind of spring a feeling of.

The two of them came out for dinner, although they said "don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep", but you don't have to abide by this rule outside. They chatted very quietly. Li Dongyang thanked Wu Youwei for the news.

He was smart, he didn't ask the source of the news, he only expressed his belief in Wu Youwei.

"If there is anything in the future, I will still talk to you." Wu Youwei took a sip of the haggis soup and said in a low voice: "There is something now, if there is a noble concubine to be established, concubine, you must pay attention to it." Don't follow those people in any advice book!

"Why is this?" Li Dongyang was startled, there was even news from the inner palace?

That's right, he even knew the secret news that the first emperor was seriously ill, let alone the matter of the harem conferring the empress and setting up concubines.

"Whoever the emperor likes is his business. He can stand whoever he wants. The emperor's women are all on his left and right. Why do outsiders follow suit?" Wu Youwei reminded Li Dongyang: "Don't follow others with enthusiasm. Going to the book, it’s useless! The arms can’t twist the thighs.”
