Chapter 44: The Qianhu Lord Harvested Wheat for His Family



The night Cui Xian came back, the family had a rare good night's sleep.

Especially the brothers Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan.

After living in the cowshed for several months, I can finally sleep in a bed again!

It’s really not easy.

So much so that at night, Cui Zhongyuan held his son Xiang'er in his arms and was unwilling to let go.

Chen was also grinning foolishly.

Their son is really promising!

Only Cui Xian had a bitter face.

It was a scorching hot June, and he was still being held in his father's arms. He felt hot.

The next day.

Cui Xian woke up to the sounds of roosters crowing and cicadas chirping, and he felt an indescribable sense of comfort and peace in his heart.

The conditions in Pei Mansion are good.

But a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own thatched nest.

When he walked out of the bedroom, the whole family was already up.

Grandmother Cui looked energetic: "Last year, my wife, come with me to the next village to hire some people. I just saw that some people have already started harvesting wheat early, so we have to hurry up."

Lin smiled and replied, "Okay."

The huge sum of 30 taels of silver that Xian Ge'er brought back was a powerful reassurance.

It gives the whole family confidence.

Cui Yu was reading in the yard. When he saw Xian Ge'er get up, he ran over with a smile and called affectionately, "Brother!"

After not seeing him for a few months, he looked much thinner.

In addition, he has already been formally enlightened and has a bookish air, like a "miniature" version of the gentleman.

"Brother."

Cui Xian stretched out his hand, and the two brothers bumped fists in tacit understanding.

Looking at the two brothers who were getting along harmoniously, Old Cui and others looked at each other, and the whole family understood what each other meant.

Brother Xian made such a huge sum of money.

There's no reason to let him be a book boy anymore.

After the summer harvest, I will send Xian'er and Yu'er to study in Mr. Gu's private school.

Of course, the most important thing right now is to harvest the wheat!

"The eldest and the second son, take the two younger ones to exercise, and the eldest son's wife will make breakfast."

Old Mrs. Cui looked up at the sky and said, "I'm going to be busy today."

Cui Xian smiled and said, "I'm on leave recently, so I can go to the fields to help harvest the wheat."

So, the family began to get busy in an orderly manner.

It's strange too!

The atmosphere at home is usually tense and the whole family is miserable.

But as soon as Xian Ge'er comes back, all the worries at home seem to disappear.

When I finish my work and start to eat breakfast.

Lin even gave the whole family an extra salted egg.

The summer is hot.

Sitting in the shade of the trees in the yard, feeling the breeze.

A salted egg with butter dripping from it, paired with steamed bread, is so delicious!

Just at this time.

The head of Hexi Village came to visit again, ruining the mood.

Seeing him, Old Cui's face fell: "Why, another corvée quota will be allocated to my family?"

The rest of the Cui family members also stood up nervously.

result.

The village head waved his hands repeatedly, looked at Cui Xian in a trembling voice and said excitedly: "No, no! It's the captain! The captain of Nanyang Guard and his son are here!"

"He mentioned her by name and said he was here to visit Brother Xian!"

"Sister-in-law, Brother Xian, please come out to greet them. The whole village is in an uproar right now."

"This is the first time such a distinguished figure has come to our village!"

who?

The Captain of Nanyang Guard!

Oh my god!

Hearing this, the whole family looked at Cui Xian in a daze, as if they were unable to react.

Cui Xian was also a little surprised.

Why is Gao Qi here?

·

Half a cup of tea ago.

The entrance to Hexi Village.

A carriage and a dozen horses came in a mighty procession.

Such a big commotion shocked the villagers who were originally preparing to harvest wheat.

Because the men riding horses were all strong and sturdy.

The leading carriage was particularly luxurious!

You can tell at first glance that he is either rich or noble.

Moreover, these days, those who can lead so many horses on a trip are most likely military masters!

Hexi Village is remote and poor, and usually there are very few important people coming here.

The villagers were all panicked.

What a coincidence! The head of Hexi Village had just left home and was about to go to the fields to harvest wheat.

Seeing this group of nobles of unknown origin, he immediately calmed down and stepped forward to greet them: "I am the head of Hexi Village. May I ask your name?"

The luxurious carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.

then.

A young man in gorgeous clothes came out and looked around curiously: "Is this Hexi Village? Brother Xian's home?"

Gao Qianhu followed his son out.

A soldier rode up and said to the head of the village: "This is our captain of Nanyang Guard, and his son!"

Old, oh my God!

It turned out to be the fifth-rank Captain of Nanyang Guard!

The village head was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost lost his balance. He saluted with a stammer: "I pay my respects to the Lord Qianhu!"

He had never received a master of such high rank in his entire life!

The rest of the villagers in Hexi Village were also shocked and panicked.

Why did such a distinguished master come to their village?

Could it be for conscription?!

Thinking of this, many people turned pale and trembled with fear.

At this time, the captain waved his hand and said in a friendly tone: "Please stand up, old man. I want to ask you about a person. His name is Cui Xian, and he is eight years old this year."

Gao Qi said from the side: "Yes, Brother Xian! Do you know where he lives? I am his best brother and I am here to visit him!"

The head of the village was stunned when he heard this and could hardly believe his ears.
