Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

The emperor glanced around, saw no one, and said: "Cousin, the auspicious snow is a sign of a good harvest, and there must be a good harvest next year, isn't it?"

"Of course, Your Majesty." Lord Hou also laughed, and stretched out his hand to catch a few pieces of snow, "Auspiciousness from heaven is a sign of the revival of Tianwu. One day, all the mountains and rivers in the world will return to the Emperor's feet."

The emperor turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help but asked, "Cousin, are you really not going to marry a wife and have children? Ye family's incense..."

Lord Hou shook his head, "Right now, I just want to regain the rivers and mountains. If I can live to the day of victory, it will not be too late to talk about these. If I die in battle, the emperor remembers to give everything to Fu Niu."

The emperor was helpless, "I really don't know whether it is good or bad for you to lead troops to fight."

Lord Hou smiled, "Of course it's a good thing, I've never been so happy in my life."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky, stepped back and saluted, and changed his address.

"Your Majesty, I'm going back. I'm afraid the family has already wrapped the dumplings at this time, and I'm just waiting for me to eat them when I go back."

It was rare for the emperor to see him like this, like a child who was in a hurry to go home after school, so he asked curiously: "Li's noodle soup is delicious, are the dumplings also good?"

"Of course," Hou Ye actually added a bit of complacency on his expression, "I will definitely bring some to the emperor to try when I get a chance."

The emperor nodded, "Go, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

Lord Hou lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, "I thank the emperor for his kindness. I will sacrifice my life for the rest of my life to recover the territory for the emperor and restore the glory of Tianwu!"

After all, without waiting for the emperor to help him, he got up and strode away.

A little eunuch quickly followed with a box in his hand.

The emperor's confidant chief officer saw it from a distance, so he dared to step forward and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time, do you want to serve dinner?"

The emperor squeezed his heavy sleeves, nodded and ordered, "First destroy those flowerpots and things on the floor of the study, so that no one can see the traces, and then serve wine and vegetables. I have a happy event to celebrate today."

The chief eunuch smiled immediately, and responded with joy: "Yes, your majesty, wait a moment, and this old slave will make a fuss."

The emperor turned around and went back to the bedroom, carefully took out the golden corncob in his sleeve, put it into a brocade box, and hid it in the secret compartment of the dragon bed.

After finishing all this work, he sat firmly on the dragon bed, his eyes were bright, as if there were thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him...

In the courtyard of Li's family, it is very lively at the moment, there are many people eating dumplings, and there are also many people making dumplings.

At such a time, the village chief, his wife and the Liu family will all be invited to reunite.

Including Uncle Zhao and several other old men, there are more than 20 people.

The women kneaded the noodles, chopped dumpling fillings, and set up a big table in the main room after they were ready.

The men also helped, gossiping and making dumplings together, everyone was smiling.

The butler was left by the old lady to eat dumplings, and now he also rolled up his sleeves to help.

It's a pity that it's his first time making dumplings, and the finished product is really hard to describe in words.

Looking back, even a doll as small as Fu Niu was well wrapped, he couldn't help blushing, and hurried to study hard.

Occasionally, the old lady looked up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Chief Steward, come here a few more times in the future, and you will learn it slowly."

The butler was pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "Oh, then I will come here often after listening to the old lady's words. The Hou's mansion is too deserted, and our house is still lively."

While talking, Hou Ye's carriage came back.

The courtyard immediately became more lively, and the village head and others called Hou Ye to sit and gossip together.

Jiayin ran over with her two chubby hands and hugged her adoptive father's thigh.

Lord Hou wore a navy blue robe, and was immediately imprinted with two white handprints.

Lord Hou didn't dislike him either, he hugged Jiayin and sat on his lap, and called Brother Mao who ran out after his sister to come forward.

He opened the box in his hand, took out a pair of red agate kittens, and handed them to Brother Mao.

Brother Mao was so happy, he saluted and thanked him and ran to show off with his father.

Jiayin hugged the rest of the boxes and almost turned over in joy.

Inside the box are all gold bracelets made inside, a total of four pairs, all solid.

Everyone looked at it and understood.

"Fu Niu has gotten rich!"

"This child likes gold and silver the most. In his previous life, he was probably the little fairy boy who was seated by the God of Wealth."

"I think it's a Pixiu, you can only go in and out!" Mrs. Li came out and saw her, and couldn't help complaining about her granddaughter and scolding Hou Ye, "She's a child, don't give her these precious things all the time, she's really a child you raised. It's going to fall in the eyes of money."

Master Hou admitted his mistake with a smile, "I promised the child earlier, and I can't break my promise, so I won't give it in the future."

The old lady doesn't believe this, one family counts as one, as long as they meet Fu Niu, no one can stop her acting like a baby.

As long as the girl is happy, nothing matters.

Soon, the dinner table was set up, with Bai Shengsheng and watery dumplings, served with a few sweet and sour or salty side dishes, everyone sat around and they all ate deliciously.

The village chief and the other old men each poured half a bowl of wine, each mouthful of dumplings and wine, smiling happily.

Dumplings with wine, more and more.

But when the dumplings were finished and he was half drunk, the old men pulled Master Hou and wiped away their tears.

"Master Hou, when can we go back to Jiangbei? We don't know if we can bury our old bones back on the hillside of our hometown when we die."

"Yeah, Suijintan is good, but I just can't help thinking about my hometown. In my dreams these few nights, I have dreamed of the pagoda flowers on the hillside."

Lord Hou was not impatient either, and comforted them patiently, "Soon, within three years, they will definitely be sent back to Jiangbei."

"Okay, we can't carry a knife anymore, but we will grow more food and more melons. When the time comes, we will contribute food and effort to support Lord Hou!"

The old men were happy when they said that, so they went back to sleep.

Li Zhensheng used the excuse of borrowing books and followed Lord Hou to the next yard.

It happened that Ye Shan hurried back, and after saluting, he said: "Master Hou, the Wang family couldn't hold on anymore, so they sent someone to the house to deliver a letter."

After all, he held a letter in both hands.

Hou Ye opened it, looked at the ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help but sneer, "It's the same for everyone in the world. If the suffering does not fall on yourself, you will never know the pain. Now that you are in a different place, Wang Bowei is finally anxious."

Li Zhensheng was curious, so he asked, "But because of my incident?"

Lord Hou shook his head, "No, the third son of the Wang family was thrown into the Dali Temple and has not been released. Maybe it was cold in the prison, he was sick, and no one gave him any treatment. Now the procrastination is a bit serious, so the Wang family is impatient. They plan to donate [-] acres of land to house the wounded soldiers, so that I can let go and get Wang Laosan out of the assassination case."

Hearing this, Li Zhensheng felt warm in his heart. Master Hou said that it was not because of him, but he still asked Third Master Wang to experience the hardships he had experienced from beginning to end.

What kind of defense is this, only if he and the Li family are truly his own, it will be like this!

Lord Hou poured two cups of tea with his own hands, and said: "What that person means is that you are allowed to join the caravan, but the transportation and planting of the seeds must be handled by us. He only looks at the results next autumn.

"Seed transportation is easy to say, but planting is a bit troublesome. First, here in Suijintan, there are either mountainous orchard interplanted land or river beach land, which is not suitable for growing corn and potatoes. Second, our Hou Mansion moved with the capital, and there are no fields around here. The [-] mu of land sent by the Wang family today has solved the urgent need."
