Chapter 317: The Birdmen on Horseback

urn during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Counting it up, there were only four or five days left.The steward was relieved, so he bade farewell and hurried back.Everyone sat together, all worried.Li Lao Si...After lunch and some casual chat, Li Laosi and Li Yong each carried a large willow basket on their backs and set off for the barracks. 。Two cloth bags, each as wide as a handspan, were added to the willow basket. They wouldn't chafe the shoulders when carried on the back. 。The basket was lined with several layers of cotton cloth, breathable and insulated, so the buns wouldn't get damp from being piled together. 。It's like the two of them riding horses, running with the steam from their bodies looking like white wings behind them, very festive. 。Everyone was originally standing at the village entrance to see him off, with a touch of reluctance and sadness. Seeing this, they couldn't help but smile. 。"How come they look like two bird-men riding horses" "Haha, I was thinking the same thing!""Hope the buns are still warm when we get to camp..." 。"I'm not afraid of getting cold, it's much warmer this season." 。After a few words from the crowd, everyone dispersed to their busy lives. 。Li Lao'er didn't want to delay the children's school tomorrow, so he found his mother and planned to go into the city immediately. 。 Li Laotai didn't stop him either and arranged, "First go to Mr. Wen's place and bring Mr. Wen and Wen Hai some pig killing dishes and meat buns. The two of them probably don't cook often and always rely on eating takeout." 。“

Soon, the pork was tied with hemp rope, and food was packed. Mrs. Cui then ordered Qiao's daughter to bring two cloth bags, one large and one small

The old lady smiled and helped divide them evenly, then carefully instructed her son a few words. 。The carriage at home was ready. Jia'an and Jiaxi were excited to go into the city together, so Li Laoer even brought along Maoguer. For a moment, only Jiayin was left at home. 。It's not that Li La Er doesn't love his niece, it's just that she's too young and he, as a big man, isn't good at taking care of her. 。Luckily, Jiayin remembered to accompany her mother and obediently accepted Er Bo's promise to buy snacks. She waved goodbye with her small hand as they left. 。Tao Hongying's eyes were red, she really couldn't bear to part with her husband, but there was a lot of work at home and her daughter kept pestering her, so she didn't have time to feel sad. 。Then Li Lao Er brought his nephews into the city, and unexpectedly met Liu's carriage at the city gate. 。Liu Zhiheng had just returned from Xianshe Town and heard that Li Laer was going to seek out Wen Xian Sheng, so he gave the basket that Li Laer had brought to his constant companion. 。Tell Madam I'm also going to see Mr. Wen, and will be back home in the evening. 。Having said that, he changed to Li's carriage and left together. 。He left with a constant wry smile, the old master had not returned for half a month. The mistress of the house was at home not knowing how to wait. As a result, she waited until the year passed and he never came back! A year's plan lies in spring. Now that it is this season, whether it is the common people or the court above, the most important thing is the upcoming spring planting. 。Even the most diligent censor would keep his mouth shut at this time, daring not to speak lest he cause a disturbance and disrupt such an important moment. 。So, after the morning court session, almost no one was left at the Imperial Censor's Office in the afternoon. From high officials to low-ranking clerks, everyone was collectively slacking off. 。Mr. Wen was also at home reading and writing, the books were sent from Luo'an Academy. 。Jiārén, this child, is meticulous. Even after copying a list of the Guo family's books to keep at the academy, he didn't stop writing. He read and continued copying while reading, then sent the extra copies made to the small courtyard. 。Mr. Wen understood this was a concern from his disciple, afraid that if he had free time, he might be hurt by being driven out of his home. 。He simply filled every page of a book with his insights each day, and once he finished one, he had Wen Hai send it to Jia Ren again. 。Although teacher and student hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were closely connected in this way. 。Upon seeing Mr. Li Laoer and Mr. Liu Zhiheng arrive with three children, Mr. Wen was both surprised and delighted. 。"How do you have time to come here Aren't you busy at home" Liu Zhiheng waved his hand, "I met Second Master at the city gate and we came together." 。"

Lao Er also laughed, “Today our family slaughtered a pig. My mother wants me to bring you some pork, so you can try some fresh " 。"

Wen Hai took the things and saw that the pork-killing vegetables and steamed buns were still hot, so he smiled, “Second Master, you came just in time! My husband and I were worried about what to eat I'm not very good at cooking. After practicing for so long, making congee without sticking is my best skill." 。Everyone laughed and quickly helped set up the table. 。Liu Zhiheng didn't eat either, so he simply followed along and ate a meal. 。Lao Er Li was drinking tea and chatting with Liu Ziheng and Mr. Wen. 。Wen Hai took two steamed buns and was about to take some children to play in the alley. 。Li Lao'er then took out his wallet and handed it to him, "Hai brother, these kids want to buy a sheepskin ball, if you know where they sell it, take them for a walk." 。There's also one more thing, if you could help me find out a few things along the way that would be even better. 。" Wen Hai took the pouch and smiled, "Mister Er, please give your orders. " 。Li Lao'er simply told about today's events in the valley, Wen Hai took the order and soon took three young men out. 。Liu Zhiheng munched on his steamed bun and said, "You people from the mountains have constant traffic coming and going. You've probably been stealing someone's business and getting revenge behind your backs." 。Mr. Wen nodded, "I'm afraid it's related to those taverns in the city." 。" I think it's more closely related to those flower viewing gardens outside the city. After all, they both attract customers with their scenery. They were doing quite well before, but after the arrival of Suijintang, their business has dropped significantly." 。This year, seeing the orchard at Suijin Beach is about to bloom again, many literati in the city have mentioned it, which has made those few families anxious, hasn't it" "Forget it, when Wenhai comes back, we'll know everything." 。Let's just eat. This killing pig dish is really fragrant, your northern region's traditional craftsmanship is truly authentic. 。I have eaten at the restaurant in the city twice, and the taste is very strange. 。"Well, why are they killing pigs at home again It's not even a holiday or anything," Liu Ziheng and Mr. Wen asked each other while eating, inquiring about village affairs. 。Li Laer said, “This fat pig is not honest. It jumped over the wall and broke its leg. It can only be killed. " 。It just so happened that Lao Si and Li Yong came back from the army camp, so I treated them to a good meal and they took away more than two hundred steamed buns. 。”

“Lao Si and Li Yong are back They rarely have such good fortune. How is the dock, is the training hard”

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng are considered half-villagers, so they know about Young Master Yan's disguised enlistment. At this time, they also said, “I heard that the Yan family is in a terrible state, looking for people everywhere. Li Yong is also bold. If he is discovered, it will be troublesome>>> 。Li Laoer smiled and said, "Lao Si and they came back before dawn this morning. After lunch, they left again." 。< Neither did I run into any outsiders, so there's no need to worry about being discovered > 。Lao Si and Li Yong have both become very strong, especially Li Yong. I'm afraid even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. 。"Oh, I see. So that's how it is. The army really does toughen people up." 。A lord leading troops also has a set of... 。

They are both soldiers guarding the riverbank, but in the hands of the Marquis, they become tigers, fighting the barbarians on equal terms. But under the command of Lord Dingbei, they retreat step by step.

Liu Zhiheng couldn't help but complain, looking down on Dingbei Hou. 。Mr. Wen also nodded, "The Lord Marquis always leads the charge in battle, bravely fighting the enemy" 。Ding Bei Hou, however, hid behind his soldiers, afraid of being hurt by the barbarians. This disheartened the troops and made it impossible to win the battle. 。Several people laughed and after finishing their meal, cleared the dishes, refilled the tea, and waited for Wen Hai to return. 。Wen Hai didn't waste any time, and after less than an hour outside, he returned with the children. 。Three updates, my treasures, give your lucky money hand a little wiggle and click on a five-star review and like, encourage the author who is still working hard to type during the holidays~~~~for a moment, then said, "The restaurant will open soon, and then there's the Mid-Autumn Festival.
