I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 110

It rained last night and the temperature dropped immediately.

Ankang, wearing indigo clothes, stretched out in the yard.The boys are busy cleaning the leaves that were blown off by the wind yesterday.Half of the seesaws are piled up in the corner of the yard, already soaked by rain.Huzi directed the six sons in the yard to carry the boards to dry in the sun.

Standing on the steps, Ankang folded his hands behind his back, looked to the northeast, and asked, "It's been ten days since Zi Che wrote last time. How long is Qiu Wei?"

Huzi counted with his fingers, "It's been 9 days. It will be Qiu Wei in half a month."

"Brother." Wearing a red bellyband, Ping An ran out barefoot and hugged Ankang's thigh.

Huzi exclaimed, "Young master, it's cold on the ground."

Ankang picked up his younger brother and went back to the house to dress him.Ping An asked about the seesaw yesterday.

"The master carpenter will continue to work today. You can play in the afternoon in Ping An."

Ping An was happy, beaming happily in Ankang's arms, kissing his brother from time to time.The baby's soft mouth kissed people's hearts, and Ankang felt that he could be so happy all day long.

Huzi brought out three boiled eggs from the small kitchen in the yard. Seeing An Zhonghua hastily entered the yard, he trotted to follow and called out, "Master."

An Zhonghua took an egg from the bowl, knocked it lightly on the pillar, and asked about Ankang's itinerary for the past two days while peeling the egg.

Huzi reported the situation honestly, "Yesterday, the young master sent fruit to the Wang family next door. It was the fruit from the madam's natal family. Later, the young master brought the young masters from various families who were watching the theater at the Wang's house back to play for half an afternoon."

An Zhonghua said in a low voice, "Too playful." After eating the egg in his mouth, his throat suddenly stuck, and he coughed violently while covering his neck, "Water, water."

"Master, master." Hu Zi hurriedly ran to the house, and soon came back with a teapot in his arms, and Ankang followed him with his arms in his arms.

An Zhonghua took the teapot and filled half a pot of water before he stopped coughing.He closed his eyes and took two deep breaths before recovering.

Ping An hugged Ankang's neck and looked at his father curiously.

"Your uncle has written a letter saying that you can start a farm. I thought about it carefully, and I will give you all the vacant land from Fujia Village to the county."

"Yeah." Ankang showed a big smile and walked around in his arms holding Pingan. He was so surprised that he blurted out, "Father, I love you." Fujia Village is a big open space in the county. "Huzi, let's go, let's measure the land."

Seeing Ankang embracing Ping An and leaving with a few jumps, An Zhonghua muttered with a reddish face, "Do you love me or not? My son loves me, and my son loves me. This is a matter of course." Thinking, the old father An Zhonghua unconsciously wore a smile on his face.

Yu Yang's county magistrate returned to the main courtyard with a smirk all the way, Wei Shi was waiting for him at the dinner table. "Why did the master come back with a silly smile on his face?"

Upon hearing this, An Zhonghua immediately closed the corners of his mouth, scrunched up his face, and returned to his usual serious look, "Ma'am, it's time for dinner."

Wei's heart is clear, this morning, the master received his brother's reply letter, hurried to Ankang's yard, and came back just like this, specifying what happened.

Ankang tidied up and went out safely.Pingan was not happy anymore, twisted his body and struggled in Ankang's arms, with a big fat face, looking a little unhappy.

"What's the matter, isn't Ping An the favorite to go out to play? My brother will take you out to play." Ankang knelt down and coaxed him patiently.

"Brother, the seesaw." He was still thinking about the seesaw.With a shy belly, Ping An took Ankang's hand to the pile of wood in the yard, "Brother, seesaw, play."

One is happy and forgets about it.Ankang was a little ashamed immediately, and he held Ping An's fleshy little paw and promised, "Brother, I will find a carpenter to make a seesaw for Ping An."

Ping An was very happy, and walked around a pile of wooden boards with a smile on his face.

Huahua ran over from nowhere, wagging her tail joyfully.

"Where did Huahua go this morning?" Ankang just remembered that Huahua was not in the yard this morning.

"As soon as the yard door was opened, it jumped out. No one followed it, so I don't know where it went." Huzi responded from the side.

Just got a piece of land, Ankang couldn't hold back, and took advantage of Pingan to watch the carpenter at work, and sneaked away with his tiger.

Borrowing a few people from the yamen, Ankang led them to measure the land from Fujia Village.

The people in Fujia Village basically gathered around to watch the fun.

Someone asked a local official, "Master, what are you doing?"

"Measure the land."

"What to do in volume."

The officer turned his head and signaled to the villagers that Ankang was not far away, "That's the eldest son of our county magistrate. The eldest son of the An family. It is said that he is going to build a farm here."

The villagers continued to ask, "Farm? What is a farm?"

"I don't know what it is." The officer said helplessly, "I've never heard of it."

In the crowd, Fu Dahua was grabbed by the arm by Fu Daqian's daughter-in-law next door, "Dahua, isn't your brother Fu Chuan at the magazine office? Have you heard any news?"

"No." Fu Dahua frowned, "I haven't heard from my Xiao Chuan."

"Quickly go and inquire. If you accept someone, tell me earlier, and I will let our family spend a lot of money to sign up."

"After lunch, I'll go to Xiao Chuan and ask." Fu Dahua agreed.If she wanted to hire someone, she asked her family Fu Gui to go too.

"Da Hua, let me know if you ask."

"Tell me too, tell me too."

Fu Dahua responded twice, squeezed out the crowd and went home.

Liu Xia stood on the slope with her belly outstretched, surrounded by women.

"Liu Xia, Master An is going to build a farm. Have you heard from your uncle about this?"

Liu Xia spat out the melon seeds in her mouth, "I haven't heard of it. It's not a good job. If it's a good job, it would have spread."

"Master An personally brought people to measure the land. The one in blue is Master An."

Liu Xia stepped on her feet and followed the direction of the woman's fingers, and she really saw a man in blue clothes, followed by a servant-like man.She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't think about such a beautiful thing, it's not so easy to get a good job. The farm, after all, it's a farm, it's not like farming. What kind of land is it not farming. Here It is better to plant your own land than to pay rent for other people’s land.”

"That makes sense."

Liu Xia talked with her for a while, and went home alone while no one was paying attention.She quickly packed up two pieces of clothes that Fu Dahe wore in autumn, packed a small package, went to the kitchen to get a sheet of pancakes, avoided the crowds watching, and walked another road in the village.

Fu Sanmei came back with firewood on her back and watched Liu Xia walking down the path carrying a small package from a distance. She felt strange in her heart, and she was going to make lunch soon. Where is Liu Xia going?She just thought about it for a moment and then stopped thinking about it.She didn't want to know about her sister-in-law, so as not to cause trouble.
