Chapter 447: Yi County
Unable to squint for a while, Xu Qing played a game of cards with Long Binger beside him in order to pass the time.
Xu Qing and Long Binger sat in the carriage, crossed the valley, and traveled for more than half a day before entering Yi County.
The Huang family, one of the three families, is in Yi County.
The Huang family is considered to be the longest-rooted family in Fengzhou among the three families. Not only is the family fertile land, but also quite good at business. Its business spreads all over Fengzhou. It is also the richest family among the three families. The other two are not as experienced as the Huang family, so they will give The Huang family has a few thin noodles.
Thanks to the fact that the Huang family took root in Yi County, Yi County has also become quite prosperous, and it can be regarded as the largest county in the south of Fengzhou.
Although the Huang family started as a businessman and was a big landlord, they couldn't enter the officialdom, but if they have money, they will have power. Even the county magistrate of Yi County would have to laugh in front of the head of the Huang family. Without the support of everyone, I am afraid that it will be forcibly run away in a short time.
The former county magistrate of Yi County was upright and did not give the Huang family the slightest face. However, his decree could not be carried out at all. The magistrate of the county magistrate, under the help of the Huang family, united and simply emptied the former magistrate of Yi county. .
In the end, the former county magistrate came to an unacceptable end.
But now, because of last year's disaster, the Huang family has used this to acquire a large amount of land to strengthen itself, and the rapid development of its power is eye-catching.
After the carriage entered Yi County, Xu Qing opened the curtain of the carriage and saw an endless wheat field. A summer breeze blew by, and the wheat swayed with the wind, forming a golden wave of wheat.
The people in Fengzhou finally ushered in a bumper harvest after surviving the disaster year.
In the wheat fields, many farmers are already cutting golden wheat without hesitation.
At this time, there is no time to be idle, and the wheat has to be harvested even more, because it is rainy this season, and the newly matured millet cannot withstand the rain, and the farmers dare not let the rain damage the harvest.
Only then did Xu Qing know: the foot is steaming in the summer heat, and the back is scorching in the scorching sun. I don't know the heat with all my strength, but it's a pity that the summer is long. What kind of scene do these verses describe?
"That's great." At this time, Long Bing'er did not know when she came over, watching all this through the curtain that Xu Qing opened with her left hand.
Xu Qing asked: "You said they harvested wheat?"
Long Bing'er nodded and said: "There are no wars or battlefields here, peace and harmony, and the people can devote themselves to farming, isn't it good?"
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er, and said in surprise: "I never imagined that you, a general, would still yearn for the rural life of a farmer? I thought you were only thinking about fighting in the battlefield."
Long Bing'er snorted: "If the world is peaceful and the world is harmonious, fools will like to fight and kill."
"It's true." Xu Qing agreed with Long Binger's point of view.
After the carriage entered Yi County, Xu Qing and Long Bing'er got out of the carriage, Xiao Ye also got off the horse, and Xu Chen, who was acting as the carriage driver, stood silently behind the three of them.
It's getting late now, so I definitely won't be in a hurry today, and because I played with Long Binger in the carriage along the way, I didn't eat at noon.
At this moment, it's time to find a place to have a meal earlier, and then open a room to settle the sleeping place.
Xu Chen has been here a few times, and he is obviously very familiar with this place. Xu Chen knows exactly where there are inns and restaurants.
Under Xu Chen's leadership, the two came to a restaurant named Youranju.
Xu Chen introduced to Xiao Ye, Xu Qing and Long Bing'er: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xu, Mrs. Long, this Youranju is the most famous restaurant in Yi County. Its dishes are delicious in color, fragrance and taste. .”
Of course, those who are away from home must use the trumpet, so the titles of Commander, Dean, and His Royal Highness have been put away and changed to Young Master.
Long Bing'er had no objection to what to eat, she ate a lot of candy along the way, and she wasn't hungry at all.
According to Xu Qing's observation, Long Bing'er is very similar to his own wife and Xiao Ruxue, she always eats whatever she likes.
The wife likes to eat sweet and sour short ribs, but she can't wait to eat it three times a day, and she doesn't seem to be tired of eating it at all.
Long Bing'er also likes to eat white rabbits when she has nothing to do, so it's no wonder that she doesn't get tooth decay after eating like this.
Leisurely Residence not only has a place to eat, but also a place to live.
Xu Chen went to order food, Xu Qing helped Long Binger open the room, and then Long Binger took the wooden sign back to rest in her own room. Although she was not hungry, she played with Xu Qing all the way in the carriage. a bit tired.
Originally, Xu Chen planned to ask for an Accord, but all the Accords were taken up, so he had no choice but to find a table in the lobby of Youranju.
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing who had sent Long Bing'er back to the room and walked down by himself, and asked, "Miss Long, won't you eat?"
Xu Qing said: "She is a little tired from playing in the carriage, and wants to rest for a while."
Xiao Ye had an "I understand" expression on his face, stopped talking, and sat on the table in the lobby, eating the food that the waiter had just served.
Xiao Ye has eaten all kinds of good things in his life, and he is not very interested in the dishes in this leisurely residence, he only regards them as something to satisfy his hunger.
At this moment, an old man with white beard and hair came over Xu Qing's table, holding a Pipa. The old man pulled a six or seven-year-old girl who looked like the granddaughter of the old man. Haven't had a full meal for a long time.
Although their clothes were worn out and patched piece by piece, they were neat and clean.
Those who perform art and beg for life in restaurants should not be dirty. Dirty appearance will affect the appetite of customers, not to mention that they will not be able to get money, and they will even be kicked out by the shopkeeper directly because it affects other people's business.
The old man looked at Xu Qing's noble son and said: "Would you gentlemen want to listen to the music? The young old man knows some rhythms, so he can cheer for the noblemen."
Seeing the old man and the little girl with yellow and thin faces, Xiao Ye took out a piece of silver and put it in the old man's hand, and said, "Then let's play a piece. If I play well, I will be happy to hear it, and there will be a reward."
The old man looked at the broken silver in his hand, but he was a little apprehensive: "No... no, it's too much... You don't need so much, if the nobleman is happy to hear it, you can reward the little old man with two copper coins, I dare not accept this generous gift. "
Xiao Ye seemed to be a little impatient and said: "Look at our clothes, do you look like someone with copper plates on them? Play quickly to help the wine."
Seeing Xiao Ye's impatient look, the old man was afraid that he would offend the nobleman if he refused again, so he asked cautiously, "I wonder what song the nobleman wants to listen to?"
Xiao Ye said: "I don't care what you play, as long as it makes us happy to listen."
