But it was all fate and the times. Because I was short, when the world was in chaos during those years, the soldiers and bandits were too lazy to bother with me, which allowed me to escape from danger several times.

God will never leave people with a glimmer of hope. During the reign of Taizu of this dynasty, my good luck came. I remember that was the early days of the country, when Taizu had just entered Chang'an. There was a grain cart overturned on this official road, and I went to help move the grain.

Seeing that I was quick and nimble, the steward took me to Chang'an City, and then I followed the grain transport team for a few months. Later, the court allocated land to me and also gave me a wife. "

The old man smacked his lips when he said this, with a hint of nostalgia and relief on his face, "I remember when we were sorting out wives, everyone wanted to pick a pretty one, and some guys even fought over this.

I wouldn't. I just picked someone who is a little ugly but strong. Hehe, a strong woman can work and give birth to babies. Don't look at me, an old man, who is short, but my children are all big.

It was after the fight over who would choose a bride that the imperial court came up with the veil. Now the veil is a new trend in wedding ceremonies. After the veil was introduced, people started choosing a strong and firm bride.

That’s why the old man said that I was lucky. If I had a veil from the beginning, I, an old man like me, would not be able to find a strong wife. "

The old man smacked his lips and said, "Because the steward is not only capable, but also loyal. I heard that when the steward came back, he paid a grand visit to His Majesty, His Majesty, and several princes. If others had the steward's ability, haha.

Wang Zheng smiled and poured another glass of sake. After the old man drank it all, he continued, "There is a child from the neighboring family who followed Mr. Er to the Western Regions. The journey there is long and not as convenient as in the south. They only received a letter this year.

The old man was very happy and sighed, "I am now at this age. The world is stable now and life is getting better day by day. I don't have much to look forward to in this life. I just hope that my great-grandchildren can have many children in Lingnan.

As long as the steward is here, no matter how the world changes, she won’t be in chaos. The old man naturally hopes that the steward can live a few more years. "

I used to hear people sigh that it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a human in troubled times. Now our dog eats better than I did when I was young. If I had the same amount of food as our dog when I was young, I wouldn't be this small.

The old man quickly stood up and replied, "We have wheat flour, beans, and boiled water, which are simple things. If the distinguished guest is particular, then there is nothing I can do."

Although the situation is not bad, it is still far worse than that in the south. I also heard that some people followed the Great Master to the North and followed the Fourth Master to the East. Generally speaking, they are not as good as the South.

What can we ordinary people want? Isn’t it just for stability?

Li Xian smiled and raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Why does the old man hope that the steward will live a hundred years?"

The horse came directly to the table, and the knight on the horse asked in a loud voice: "Do you have enough water to supply a hundred men and horses?"

There are many valuable canned dried fruits like bananas and mangoes thrown away over there. As long as you work hard for a year, it will be like a good place to live. But the distance is too far, so it may be difficult to visit them in the future."

No, everyone wishes that the chief steward can live to be 120 years old. 100 years is too short. We should wish the chief steward to live to be 200 years old."

In the distance, a large caravan was coming from the north to the south. A fine horse turned into the path and galloped over. Li Si and Niu Laosan stood up and looked towards Wang Zheng. Zhu Guichen also slowly turned around.

You say, is this just luck? "

When my great-grandson was hanging out in the city, he had the opportunity to study with Mr. San for a period of time and he immediately decided to follow Mr. San. At that time, my family opposed him going to Lingnan, but I did not object.

The knight nodded and said, "These things are enough. They are just something to fill our stomachs. If we want to eat good food, don't we know to go into the city? Hurry up and prepare the water and beans first. The boiling water and pancakes can be done a little later."

The year before last, my eldest great-grandson went to Lingnan with Mr. San. Last year, he sent a letter to invite the second to the tenth sons to go over there. This year, he came back in person and brought most of his grandchildren over.

I heard that the land there is vast and the population is sparse, and the crops can be harvested three times a year. If you plant Yongcai once, you can harvest it for several years. As long as you keep applying fertilizer, you can raise a hundred pigs in any piece of land.

Wang Zheng helped him pour a glass of sake, and after the old man drank it all, he sighed, "In fact, I don't have much experience. When I was a child, I lived a life of uncertainty. The reason I can live here is just luck.

Everyone laughed.

This person, it all depends on luck. In the past few years, I saw my descendants prospering, but there was no land to divide. These descendants are destined to have a hard life. I am anxious, but there is nothing I can do.

A tree that is moved will die, but a person who moves will live. If life at home becomes hard, you must leave. If you stay here and wait for death, leaving will mean seeking death, but isn't there still a glimmer of hope?

These places were very barren in the past, with lots of fields uncultivated. But it is no longer the case now. Not to mention others, I have six sons and twenty-one grandchildren, and my great-grandchildren are all old enough to share the land, but where is the land to be divided?

At this point, the old man looked very proud. Wang Zheng poured him another glass of wine and said with a smile, "It is indeed luck. Not only is the south better now, but it will also develop very well in the future."

"Hey, that's for sure."

Hey, God sent a steward down, and the work in Chang'an city gradually increased. At that time, I felt that even if I didn't farm, as long as I was diligent, I could always make a living.

"Don't worry, my dear guest. I understand."

Then the old man bowed to Wang Zheng and said with a smile: "Dear guest, please enjoy your meal. I will be busy now."

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded, "Please go ahead, old man. We have almost finished eating and drinking, so it's a good opportunity to give up our seat."

Seeing the old man running to call for help from a group of old men, Wang Zheng smiled and shook his head, then asked Li Xian and the others, "Have you all eaten and drunk? It's time for us to go back."

Several little guys nodded. There wasn't much to eat or drink. Although the old man's food was good, it wasn't really to their taste. After eating a little bit to fill the bill, it was almost enough.
