Dawei Fanghua

In May of the third year of Jingchu in the Great Wei Dynasty (AD 239), the sun was dazzling and the weather was hot in Pingyuan County, Jizhou.

A breeze blew past, and the golden wheat waves undulated, making a "rustling" sound.Qin Liang straightened up while holding the sickle, caught the gust of wind with his face, and took a deep breath. The subtle fragrance and the uncomfortable dust entered his nose.

He stretched out his left palm and flicked it on the wheat ears beside him. His palms with blistered blisters immediately felt pain and the numbness of the wheat awns, as if he was in pain and happy at the same time.Just like how his body felt at the moment, although he was tired and sore, he secreted a large amount of phenolphthalein due to physical activity, making people feel inexplicably full and calm.

Qin Liang obviously didn't look like a farmer. He was tall and strong, with a handsome face, raised eyebrows and slightly high cheekbones, giving him a rather heroic look.Her skin is fair, so it would be good to get some sunshine now, which might add a bit of masculine temperament.

In fact, this piece of land is the property of the Qin family manor. Qin Liang stood there and looked at his own land, unable to see the edge at a glance.Before he returned home to observe filial piety, he was still a student of Taixue, and he was a scholar recognized by the state.

To do this kind of unnecessary work, you really need some state of mind.

Recalling that two years ago, he had just transformed from Chen Xiaoqiang, a terminally ill code farmer, into this ancient Qin Liang, he couldn't calm down and work hard.At that time, his mood was very complicated. He was worried about living in troubled times, but also a little excited. In his impatience, he didn't want to do anything every day.

It's simple, because he is thinking about "big things" all day long and feels that the value of farm work is too low and useless.

But as the boring time prolongs, everything is changing.At his brother's request, he went into mourning and stayed in the countryside for nearly two years wearing burlap and long hair. His mood gradually settled down and he began to pay attention to the things around him.

After all, behind the original modern, prosperous and rich life, there are also pressures from mortgages, car loans, various things, fast-paced fatigue, and precarious anxiety.

And in this chaotic ancient world, not everything was in chaos, and many major events did not affect the villages in the hinterland of Wei at all.Just like when Cao Cao's grandson Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui passed away this year, there should have been a fierce power struggle in the capital Luoyang, but it has been three or four months now, and there is still no trouble in Jizhou.

After Qin Liang adapted to the environment, he felt that such a peaceful life seemed good.

So a few days ago, a senior official in the DPRK sent someone to hire him as a staff member, but he was given the job for free, but he declined on the grounds of filial piety.It seems that he has fallen in love with the secluded life.

Of course, the young Qin Liang has not reached the state of having no desires and needs, let alone the treatment of visiting the thatched cottage. He is only eighteen or nineteen years old and cannot afford such airs.He refused to serve because the ministers would not win over a young man for nothing.

The official's name was He Yan.The reason why He Yan really likes Qin Liang should be his identity.Qin Lang, who almost became the minister of Tuogu, was Qin Liang's clan brother.

The twists and turns and dangers involved, if not for Qin Liang's experience and knowledge in his previous life, he might not be able to handle it at all.

Not far away, the villagers and farmers wearing calf-nose trousers were bending over to cut wheat. They did not stand up to rest after Qin Liang. They were working particularly hard in front of their master.But Qin Liang had no intention of supervising their work. What he noticed at this time was the man in Tsing Yi leading the horse on the dirt road in the distance.

There were almost no strangers on the manor for no apparent reason. The man in Tsing Yi was most likely from the He Yan family, and for some reason he just watched from a distance.Qin Liang pretended not to see it.

At this moment, I suddenly saw that the villagers and farmers all straightened up and faced the same direction.Qin Liang didn't need to look to know that it was Mr. Dong who was here to deliver the meal.This wheat field was planted by Dong's family. Because her husband was seriously ill in bed and there was a shortage of men to work, Qin Liang called on several farmers and farmers to help harvest the wheat.After all, more than half of the harvest belongs to the Qin family.

Qin Liang also turned his head and took a look.Ms. Dong is not a beauty who has conquered the country. If she were in a wealthy city, her beauty would be very common.But in this dusty rural wheat field, she seemed to have turned into a lotus in the mud, which was inevitably eye-catching. The old cloth and coarse clothes could not hide the fair skin on her neck, but it added a bit of freshness to the field. .

Immediately, a man smiled and said, "My wife has brought food."

She first put the wooden frame down heavily, straightened up, exhaled, and stared: "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!"

The man was not angry and said with a smile: "As long as you become a widow, I will ask Qin Jun to reward you for me."

But another man said: "Erlang treats her so kindly, and she doesn't repay Erlang, but she wants to take advantage of you?"

Dong's face turned red and she was speechless for a moment to refute.These rough guys talk indiscriminately, and it is quite normal to make some vulgar jokes.Qin Liang didn't want to argue, because it was useless to talk about filial piety and etiquette here. He just looked sideways at Rao Dashan, a banker who had been with the Qin family for many years.

Rao Dashan was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little unfamiliar with Qin Liang's eyes, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while.Today's Qin Liang is no longer the ancient teenager he was before. His eyes are certainly different, and he must have a little more calmness brought by his experience and mentality.Qin Liang did not avoid Rao Dashan's strange eyes and continued to look at him calmly.

Rao Dashan finally understood and immediately scolded and cursed the man.The farmers realized that someone had said something wrong and kept silent.

When Qin Liang saw this, he said calmly: "After lunch, you and everyone will finish cutting this field."

Rao Dashan's bent posture seemed to be more respectful than before: "No."

Qin Liang nodded with satisfaction, dropped the sickle in his hand, and went back to Zhuangzi for dinner.

After walking into the village surrounded by high rammed earth walls, Qin Liang returned home after a while.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his sister-in-law Zhang, who was dressed in plain clothes and had a white cloth tied in her hair.Holding a big steaming bowl in both hands, Mrs. Zhang turned her head and said, "I'm back." Ms. Zhang's face was plump and round, her figure was plump, and she spoke quite generously, but somehow every time Qin Liang saw her, I don't feel very relaxed.Probably because Mr. Zhang is too shrewd, and there is always a hint of lesson and complaint in his roundabout words.

Qin Liang responded, walked into the dining room, and heard the two children calling "uncle". He touched their heads and pinched his eldest nephew's cheek.Then he greeted his eldest brother Qin Sheng, who was sitting in the upper seat.The mother passed away two years ago, and now the eldest brother is the head of the family.

The eldest brother is also tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, and he usually speaks and smiles informally.Before he returned home to observe his mourning, he served as a lieutenant in Pingyuan County, and he had a bit of the unruly and murderous spirit of a martial artist.

Mrs. Zhang brought the dishes and rice, and as soon as she sat down, she asked, "There was a man in Tsing Yi outside the village earlier. Who was that?"

Qin Liang subconsciously felt that his sister-in-law's words were not as simple as idle chatter.He calmed down and simply replied: "I don't know."

"I thought Erlang went out to see him." Zhang made a puzzled expression, and then continued, "Are they sent by He Shangshu again? I think He Shangshu is very sincere. Erlang can tell He Shangshu, and then After more than one month, you can become an official." (Three years of mourning, the actual period is two years and one month.)
Mrs. Zhang only wanted him to become an official in the court, which seemed understandable from the perspective of family interests.If Qin Liang doesn't explain, I'm afraid he won't see a good look at home in the future.

He had no choice but to say: "Although I once studied in Luoyang Imperial College, there are many students from the Imperial College. Why does He Gong, an important minister from the official to the Ministry of Personnel, and an important minister in the imperial court, only fall in love with me?"

The eldest brother Qin Sheng added: "My family moved here from Bingzhou to avoid the constant harassment by the Hu people, and we have already known each other as our elder brother (Qin Lang). Our elder brother is the stepson of Taizu and has a distinguished status. Although he was dismissed from office, Qin Lang The family's reputation is still there, Erlang, don't underestimate yourself."

When Qin Liang heard this, he nodded and hinted: "I heard for a while that my clan brother (Qin Lang) might be one of the ministers who Gu Ming, but he was suddenly dismissed from office. The city of Luoyang is turbulent, and our family had better not act rashly. , casually cling to relationships.”

When the eldest brother heard this, he suddenly looked at Qin Liang for a while, as if he was a little unbelievable, and seemed to think it made sense, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

On the contrary, my sister-in-law was a little reluctant, "Qin Gong (Qin Lang) and He Shangshu (He Yan) are half-brothers, so what is there to worry about?!"

Qin Liang felt a little strange when he heard "half-brothers", but when he thought about it, it was true!
Cao Cao's saying "I will take care of your wife, you have nothing to worry about" is quite famous in modern times, and everyone knows Cao Cao's hobbies.

At that time, Qin Lang's mother, Mrs. Du, was originally going to be betrothed to Guan Yu. However, when Cao Cao saw Mrs. Du's beauty, he immediately took it as his own and took her into the house. Mrs. Du's son, Qin Lang, became Cao Cao's stepson.He Yan's mother, Mrs. Yin, was a widow and was taken as a concubine by Cao Cao, and He Yan became Cao Cao's stepson.Aren't Qin and He just half-brothers?

However, Qin Lang and He Yan can become brothers, and their main relationship is Cao Cao.Cao Cao was the Taizu of Wei and the monarch of all Wei subjects, so Qin Lang and He Yan were hardly brothers.The closeness and distance between the two people is simply a mystery.

That's why this happened: Qin Lang was dismissed from office, but his "brother" He Yan became even more powerful.The two men are obviously in different camps.

This was the reason why Qin Liang didn't want to join He Yan easily: he was afraid of being on the wrong team.

However, Qin Liang couldn't say it clearly. He was afraid that his brother-in-law and sister-in-law were not very sensitive to certain things and would spill the beans. Wouldn't it mean that if someone sits at home, disaster will come from the sky?

Qin Liang said helplessly: "Taizu is the lord of the Wei Dynasty. My clan brother and He Gong are both Taizu's stepsons, but we don't know what kind of friendship they have with each other."

Mrs. Zhang seemed to be determined to make progress, and added: "I heard from your brother that He Jun, the son of Mr. He, and Erlang were classmates of the Imperial Academy. Erlang was a filial piety at home and it was inconvenient to visit him, but the He family took the initiative to make friends with you, but you If you keep people away, I’ll tell you what’s good about you!”

Qin Liang had no choice but to argue: "How can we be turned away? A few days ago, our family welcomed He Gong's subordinates into the door and treated them with courtesy. Today, the identity of the man in Tsing Yi is unknown. He only watched from a distance and did not dare to be rude. , which is actually reasonable.”

"You are a scholar, I can't help you!" Zhang said angrily.

Qin Liang gave some kind words and had to bury his head in eating, and then everyone dispersed in anger.

In the afternoon, he was enjoying the cool air on a wooden couch. He wanted to take a nap, but he turned over several times and couldn't fall asleep.The topic at lunch couldn't help but make him think about it again and again.

After being idle at home for so long, he didn't have much to do. Qin Liang inquired a lot about the personnel in Jizhou and the Qin family. Coupled with the knowledge from his previous life, he also had a general understanding of the major events in the Three Kingdoms.So he was absolutely sure of two things: He Yan was not powerful during the late emperor's period, and now he relies on General Cao Shuang to gain power; Cao Shuang and Sima Yi are hostile groups.

And now Sima Yi is still alive.Sima Yi was able to compete with Zhuge Liang's wits and scheming, and he was able to stand out in troubled times with countless deaths. He was obviously not an ordinary person, and he was a ruthless person.

In Qin Liang's immediate impression, he not only disliked Cao Shuang, but also had no good impression of the Sima family.But in this current situation where he has no power or strength, it is too early for him to talk about his likes, dislikes and ideals.Don't become cannon fodder in a daze, that's the top priority.

(After I finished the last book "Spring Scenes of the Ming Dynasty", writing the new book was not going well. The time dragged on for a long time. I really feel sorry for you all. In fact, during the time when I was not writing the book, I felt very empty and missed the relationship with the book. The interaction and resonance with my friends. Although I was stressed when coding, I was very happy. I have many old readers who have been with me for many years. Even if I haven’t written for a year or two, they still ask me from time to time when I will publish a new book. , I was very moved by never giving up and not running away. Now I have finally started a new story. I will try my best to write good content and bring happiness to everyone. I hope I will live up to your expectations.)
