Chapter 4600 Arriving Home
Yang Ruoqing seemed to have noticed something.
She glanced at Luo Fengtang. Although he deliberately acted calm and casual when asking questions, the more he acted like this, the more he was covering up.
And in her circle, apart from Mu Zichuan, who was at home with Ding You, she really couldn't find anyone else who was a man of letters and someone he could guard against.
“It was written by Li Shen,” she said.
"Li Shen? Who is that?" He asked again, wondering if I had heard of this name before? Could it be Qing'er's new friend?
"This person lost her father when she was young. It was his mother who taught her righteousness. She was very diligent when she was studying." Yang Ruoqing patiently explained to him.
“He is not a person who only knows how to read. He is very down-to-earth. He often sees farmers farming and working, and feels deeply the pain but lacks food and clothing. He wrote the poem just now out of sympathy and indignation. The poem is called "Compassion for Farmers!"
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's explanation, Luo Fengtang narrowed his eyes slightly and felt a hint of appreciation for Li Shen, whom he had not yet met.
But this appreciation did not last for three seconds before he quickly woke up again.
Would it be possible for Li Shen to receive such praise and appreciation from his wife...
"Qing'er, is he your friend? Please introduce him to me when you have time!" He said with a smile.
Through his sincere and expectant smile, Yang Ruoqing immediately glimpsed his inner uneasiness.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and continued: "This man won the Jinshi at the age of twenty-seven. He was very talented. He served as a parent official in many places and made great achievements. Finally, he died in office. , aged seventy-four , So, Tangyazi, I'm sorry that I can't introduce him to you, and I just read this poem of his by accident, and I liked it very much and wrote it down."
"Huh? ”
Luo Fengtang was stunned.
Just now when he heard Qing'er say that Li Shen won the Jinshi at the age of twenty-seven, he felt a little more pressure on himself.
My mind has already begun to search for the names of those people in Daqi who have been awarded Jinshi at a young age in recent years...
Now I heard that Luo Fengtang was seventy-four years old. Finally it fell into my stomach.
A false alarm!
Yang Ruoqing covered her mouth and snickered.
"Qing'er, why are you laughing?" He couldn't help but ask.
Yang Ruoqing smiled at him and blinked, "What do you think?"
Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and then grinned a little awkwardly.
Yang Ruoqing raised her hand and gently poked his forehead: "You fool, why do you still have those ridiculous thoughts to this day? Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog, we already have several children , I have become a yellow-faced woman, what are you worried about?”
The first few sentences were very useful to Luo Fengtang, but he was not happy with the latter ones.
"If all the yellow-faced women in the world were like you, Qing'er, I'm afraid no one would be willing to marry a big girl, and they would all come to snatch the yellow-faced women!" He said seriously.
Yang Ruoqing burst into laughter.
“This flattering person is so meticulous in controlling the heat and dimensions. It’s amazing!” She couldn’t help but praise it.
Luo Fengtang chuckled, letting go of the stone in his heart and feeling relaxed all over.
The carriage is about to fly, just like the heart that has already flown out: "Sit tight, my wife, let's sprint, we will be home soon!"
The summer is too hot, and it is about to catch up. It’s the busy farming season, so schools in the town and villages are closed.
The date is about half a month's work, so that students can go home and participate in farming and relieve the fatigue of their families.
Of course, schools in the county seat and above will not be closed due to busy farming, because students who can go to schools in the county seat and above usually have good family conditions and have long-term employment and so on. You just need to concentrate on studying to prepare for the exam. And many students in the town's schools are from farmers' families, as was the case in Muzichuan and Da'an back then.
Not to mention the school in the village.
So, as soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the yard, Luo Baobao, Feng'er and other children who were playing in the yard all came out when they heard the movement.
It was almost half a month since she last saw her daughter. Before Yang Ruoqing had time to express her motherly love, the little girl threw herself directly into Luo Fengtang's arms.
Luo Fengtang first raised his hand and touched the top of his daughter's soft hair, then leaned over and hugged her.
Such a big girl, still hugging...
The corner of Yang Ruoqing's mouth couldn't help but twitch. This little cotton-padded jacket was tailor-made for him. She was the tailor...
A soft little person hugged her leg. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was Feng. Son.
"Aunt hug!" Feng'er stretched out her little hands.
“It’s better for Feng’er to kiss my aunt!” Yang Ruoqing said, leaning over to pick up Feng’er and weighing her in his arms.
Well, I haven’t seen you for half a month, and the baby hasn’t gained much weight. Could it be that the weather is hot and the appetite is poor?
However, seeing that she looked good, with rosy cheeks and pink nails, Yang Ruoqing felt relieved.
Over there, Luo Baobao and Luo Fengtang were confused for a while, and then they seemed to remember that they still had their mother.
So the little girl hurriedly came to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing led the two children into the main room, one in each hand, and showed them the gifts she brought back...
The children got the gifts and went to play excitedly. Yang Ruoqing just I was able to talk to Wang Cuilian about Zhou Wang and the others...
"We also heard some rumors in the village. We didn't hear the details. We only knew that the shopkeeper of Feiyanfang in the county town was found out by the government to be from the Black Lotus Sect. Then the couple had their heads chopped off, saying that the shopkeeper's wife was us. Zhou Xia, the granddaughter of the old Luo family, makes people ask me when I go to pick vegetables in the garden or wash clothes, but I don’t know anything about it anyway!" Wang Cuilian said.
Yang Ruoqing twitched the corners of her lips, "This Zhou Xia, you brought us a lot of trouble when you were alive, and when you die, you will have to bury me in the same place as the God of Plague!"
Wang Cuilian sighed. : "Zhou Xia Now that this girl has died, it’s hard for me, the eldest aunt, to say anything about her, but your aunt, I’m really worried that she won’t be able to withstand this blow..."
A sneer came from beside me. , it’s Luo Fengtang.
"Auntie, don't worry. My aunt eats well and drinks well in the county. We invited them to a meal at the restaurant last night. My aunt has a great appetite, so we all put down the dishes and chopsticks for her. I’m still sweeping the dishes, I guess I’m turning my sadness into appetite!”
Luo Fengtang spoke slowly, holding a tea bowl in his hand and sipping it leisurely.
Yang Ruoqing couldn't help laughing, while Wang Cuilian was a little dumbfounded.
When she came back to her senses, Wang Cuilian had a strange expression.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Auntie, my aunt must have been very sad when she heard the news. I saw her eyes were swollen from crying."
"But I figured it out later. Knowing that what Zhou Xia had done would cause outrage wherever she went, she did not dare to immerse herself in grief any longer. ”
"Being able to eat, drink, and get out of pain is a good thing. It means that my aunt is still a person who can distinguish right from wrong, right?"
Wang Cuilian nodded: "Yes, yes, that's the truth!"
