Chapter 125 126 Warmth

Before Jixiang arrived in Fengming Village, there was a clerk riding a fast horse to Fengming Town, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, he held up the good news and shouted, "Jie Yuan, the first name of Zhoujia High School, a scholar in Fengming Village,... "

After hearing this, the people who were ploughing the fields wiped the mud on their legs and ran towards the door of Li Yu's house, shouting loudly: "Xiaoyu, Mr. Zhou has raised it, and the first name is Jie Yuan. "

   Li Yu and Li Mei's family all ran out of the house and ran towards Zhou's house.

   Yacha shouted all the way, and was led to the door of Zhou's house, shouting, "Congratulations, congratulations, the first name Jie Yuan, the Zhou family has received the good news!

  Li Yu took the good news with a smile on his face, took a piece of silver and handed it to the yachai, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

   Yachai took it and saw that it was ingots of silver, and his happy mouth couldn't close, "It's not bitter, it's not bitter." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

  Ruyi lit the cannonball, and the festive sound of the cannonball 'crackled' sounded.

  Li Yu was moved to look at Zhou Bo and Ruyi who wiped away tears: "Zhou Bo, when Zhou Jia comes back, we will have a banquet to celebrate."

   Zhou Bo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you, and celebrate."

   Zhou Bo looked up at the sky after speaking, and prayed secretly in his heart: The old man, madam, the young master is the one who has been named, and the first name is Jie Yuan, you rest in peace in the spirit of the sky!

   Zhou Jia attended the Luming Banquet hosted by the Governor the day after the announcement, but declined the invitation to go out to celebrate in the same year, and set off back to Fengming Village early in the morning.

   As soon as I arrived in the village, I was surrounded by the villagers. Everyone excitedly asked questions. Some asked: Is the Luming Banquet all venison?

   Some asked: Is the governor the same as the one on the stage?

   After answering patiently, Zhou Jia smiled and said to everyone, "Uncles, uncles, and aunties, there will be a banquet in the Zhou family tomorrow, and everyone will come to the banquet."

  Chen Yaohui laughed happily, "That's good! We'll be hungry all night tonight, waiting for the banquet at Jie Yuanlang's house tomorrow."

   Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.

   After Zhou Jia and Li Yu sent the villagers away, Zhou Jia bowed to Li Mei and his wife, "Congratulations to aunt and uncle for their happy son."

   Li Mei looked at Zhou Jia with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, I'm still waiting for you to come back and name Brother Pig!"

   Liu Changmin glanced at Li Mei with a smile, "I can't call Mr. Zhou anymore, now it's Jie Yuanlang."

   Li Mei rolled his eyes at him, "Xie Yuanlang is also my niece-in-law."

  Liu Changming, who has a son and can do everything, smiled and nodded, "Yes." Everyone smiled and watched the two bicker.

Zhou Jia stole a glance at Li Yu who was standing by with a smile, and saw her long hair as black as clouds, her skin white and powdery, dark eyebrows and cherry lips, long eyelashes and smart eyes, Zhou Jia couldn't move it. Eye.

  Zhao Di saw Zhou Jia kept peeking at Li Yu, and said to Li Mei with a smile: "Mother, Brother Pig is going to cry at home, let's go home! Let cousin and Mr. Zhou talk."

   Li Mei pushed Li Yu in front of Zhou Jia, "Yes, yes, you two talk, let's go back first."

After seeing Li Mei and the others away, Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia, who was more suave and handsome, and joked with a smile on his face, "Tell me, I'll call you Xiaoxizi in the future, or Xie Yuanlang? "

   "You can call it whatever you like, it's all yours," Zhou Jia couldn't help holding Li Yu's hand and said softly, "Yu'er, you want to kill me."

   Li Yu felt as sweet as drinking a bowl of honey water, and looked at Zhou Jia with a smile, "You go back next door first, Uncle Zhou is waiting for you to come back early in the morning to give incense to your grandfather and mother."

   Zhou Jia held Li Yu's hand, "Okay, you come with me, I have something to tell you."

   "Yeah!" The two smiled at each other and went to Zhou's house. Uncle Zhou, Aunt He and Ruyi looked at Zhou Jia's joyful bow and saluted, "Congratulations, young master."

   Zhou Jia helped a few people to go to the small ancestral hall to light incense and kneel before bowing to Zhou Bo and said, "Zhou Bo, thank you, without you, I would not be where I am today."

   Zhou Bo hurriedly stepped aside excitedly, "Young master, we can't do it, we just did our duty."

   At this time, Ruyi came over and reported to the outside, "Master, Zhu Zhencheng and some squires congratulate you on your invitation."

   Zhou Jiahe arrived at the door and saw Zhu Zhencheng and Ye Ju's housekeeper, as well as several unknown squires coming to the door to congratulate him.

   When Zhu Zhencheng saw Zhou Jia, he stepped forward with a smile and cupped his hands, "Ha! Ha! My old Zhu really read it right, Mr. Zhou congratulations! The first name is Jie Yuanlang!"

   Zhou Jia smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Zhencheng, and thank you fellow villagers."

The Zhou family was full of guests for a while, and those who didn’t know them all came with gifts. Zhou Jia’s face was frozen with laughter. He didn’t send the guests away until the evening. After hurriedly grooming, he went to Li Yu’s house. The two held hands. He started leaning against the upstairs window, looking at the bright starry sky, and his heart was filled with the joy of seeing each other again.

Zhou Jia kissed Li Yu's temple, and couldn't help laughing, "Yu'er, I heard from Zhao Cai that you took Ruyi to clean up Ye Ju's family, so scared that his family is still doing a dojo to this day. , and put those snakes and worms in the main room, scaring Madam Ye to death, you even shaved Ye Juren's head, even his eyebrows?"

   Li Yu squinted at Zhou Jia and smiled, "Humph! Who let him play with us, my sister, I can't kill him!"

   Zhou Jia thought about Ye Ju's white face and beardless appearance, and also thought about how he was shaved by Li Yu, thinking that it shouldn't be too interesting.

   "Naughty." Zhou Jia couldn't help it anymore, hugging Li Yu and the two of them, laughing loudly.

   After laughing, Li Yu remembered the words he brought back from Zhaocai, and asked Zhou Jiadao: "Xiaoxi, where did you know that the Qingzhou government was almost destroyed by the victims? The drought in Qingzhou has not eased at all?"

Zhou Jia frowned and said, "Shen Wu told me the news. He said that the rioters looted the government's granary, and in several places near Qingzhou, there was not much food. Listen to Shen Wu. , the court ordered Tongzhou to prepare food here."

   "If the imperial court does not provide relief to the victims, the riots are not far away. Can the city of Qingzhou survive without food?"

   "Yeah! If there is no relief, and Daqi is watching, Qingzhou may be in trouble," Zhou Jia pondered for a moment, "Yu'er, how is our wheat and rice harvest this year?"

  Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia with a smug smile, "After the wheat is screened out for seeding, there are still more than 600 stone left. This year, there are a lot of millet, and the average yield per mu is five stones. Calculate, how much grain we have received?"

Zhou Jia calculated and looked at Li Yu in surprise, "There is so much food, fish, you are too capable! You don't even know, I heard from the disaster victims from Qingzhou that those locusts laid their eggs in the soil, As soon as the weather turned warm, locusts broke out of the ground, and the crops that were finally planted were eaten up again, and the victims peeled off the bark and ate it."

Li Yu thought for a while after hearing this, "The yamen has to distribute some poultry to the villagers, and raise more geese, ducks and chickens. These poultry like to eat insects. Especially ducks, they like to eat in the soil, if there is no shortage of water. , put some water in the field, put the ducks in, and the locust eggs and larvae will be eaten by the ducks."

"Yeah! You're doing a good job, but do those officials care about the life and death of the victims? If they really care, they should ask a farmer. The court has no money in front of them, and officials in various places just want to make money out of their own pockets. Silver, either just want to keep his own political achievements or only for promotion, and there are a few who will take care of the life and death of the people."
