Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Chapter 16



The people invited by the village head were quick in their hands and feet, and Tian Ding followed behind him for a whole day, and the house was generally cleaned up, except for the earth dragon.It can be repaired so quickly because the house itself is not bad. According to the village chief, someone came to repair the house six or seven years ago, but no one has lived in it since then. The house is considered old, so it is easy to repair it.The earth dragon was troublesome, and the things at home were moved to the yard, leaving the house empty.The village chief once again asked Wang Laoliu to move in, but Master Wang still shook his head, and only said that the eldest son should follow, and he wanted to look at things in the yard.

"Who will come to your house to get that little thing? If you are worried, I'll ask someone to send the dog over to look after it for you."

Wang Laoliu thanked him directly, but still refused to leave the house.The village head was so angry that he shook his sleeves and left. Wang Xiubai winked at his younger brother and asked him to follow Grandpa Tang.Tian Ding followed out, he couldn't figure out why his father stayed at home, was it because he couldn't see anyone, or was he waiting for something?Looking back at the door of the house, Tian Ding couldn't figure out the answer.My father is much more haggard than when he first came back, and his hair is also much grayer. He used to be very energetic, but now he looks a little sluggish. "Grandpa Tang, when did everyone plant the land? Our family has a lot of land, do we have to dig the land now?"

"Your family counts and counts, and now it's only your brother's labor force. You can't even count as half of it." The village chief nodded his little nose, and just turned the topic away, thinking of the sixth child, the village chief Some bearded and stared, "If your father is more aggressive and agrees to be a teacher, you still need your elder brother to go to the farm. You can help? Sending some food to each household is enough for you to feed for a year, and there is still a surplus." Said. Don't forget to snort hard.

"Big brother can be a teacher too, and I'm the big brother's enlightenment." Tian Ding understood that the village head wanted to pull his father on, and he also wanted to use his father's reputation, but he couldn't figure it out. Does the village want all the children to learn?I still don't want to, if I say I don't want to!The village would not want to run a school either.But if you think about it, his brother can read, why not use the ready-made husband?

"Your elder brother doesn't even have the fame of a child, how can he be a teacher." The village chief didn't want to answer, but not everyone can be a teacher, and children think things too simply.

It became clear to me that it turns out that one cannot become a teacher with knowledge, but qualifications are also required.Find an opportunity to talk about this matter with elder brother. Elder brother was afraid that he misunderstood Grandpa Tang and thought that Grandpa Tang looked down on him, so he didn't need him as a teacher.

"If you talk about your father, he is a talented man from ten miles and eight villages. Before he became an official, his temperament was not like this, and now he has become like this." The village chief shook his head after speaking, and walked home with his hands behind his back.Tian Ding silently followed the village head, fearing that only God knows how his father became like this.

The house was two days later than expected. After the family moved back, Tian Ding discussed with his eldest brother how to dig the land.When Wang Xiubai was a child, he had seen people in the village do this job, but some people had seen it, so how could he remember it now.The two stared at each other for a moment, then got up and walked to the village chief's house together.

Wang Xiuyun came out of the house and looked at the sky, there should be no need to lead the dragon today.Just as Wang Xiuyun thought about it, she heard her father's voice in the room, "Xiu Bo, attract the earth dragon, the room is too damp." Having lived in the north for many years, Wang Laoliu was not used to the southern climate, Always feel damp in the room.

"Father, elder brother and Tian Ding have gone out. How about I lure you?" Wang Xiuyun hastily responded. She had a problem with her father, but she didn't dare to say no to what his father said.

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while Wang Laoliu came out of the room, "I'll go and get you, look at your mother."

Wang Xiuyun was a little worried, could his father do this job?Stretching her neck to look around, she couldn't see her father, so Wang Xiuyun could only go back to her house to see her mother.This time the medicine seems to be more effective than the last one. The mother’s seems to be more energetic, but she still has no energy. When the son moved back, the mother sneaked up and fell to the ground. She had no strength in her legs and fell hard. They were terrified, but fortunately they invited a doctor to feel the bones and said that there was nothing wrong with the bones, which made the whole family heave a sigh of relief.

Sitting next to her mother, Wang Xiuyun told her the interesting things she heard when she went out to dig vegetables with the lobby sister-in-law in the past two days.Mrs. Wang listened carefully, she could reply a few words from time to time, and she spent more time looking out of the window, wondering if the matchmaker that the aunt told the eldest son had come across.

"Where did such a strong smell of smoke come from?" Smelling the choking smell, Wang Xiuyun frowned, and immediately thought of the matter of her father leading the dragon son. She had a bad heart and wanted to go out with her mother on her back, but where did she get the strength? Wang Xiuyun was so anxious that tears came out, and finally stomped her feet and gritted her teeth, and forced her mother back out by touching the wall.After leaving the house, Wang Xiuyun yelled, "It's out of the water!"

The two brothers had just explained the purpose of their visit to their grandfather and wanted to hear his opinion, when they heard someone rushing over, saying that their house was flooded.The two brothers immediately jumped up and ran straight home.Relying on his height and long feet, Wang Xiubai entered the courtyard one step faster than his younger brother. The courtyard was full of smoke. Seeing his younger sister and mother sitting in a place sheltered from the wind, "Where's father?"

Tian Ding, who arrived home one step late, didn't hear what the elder brother said, but saw the elder brother rushing to the side where the smoke was the most. Without thinking about it, Tian Ding picked up the bucket he usually used for fetching water, filled a bucket of water and rushed in. , A bucket of water was thrown out regardless.

"Ouch!" The person inside yelled, "It's not a fire, it's just smoke. Tell the people outside not to pour water in it."

Tian Ding remembered that the voice was from Wang Xiaosi's wife who lived not far from their home. Wang Xiaosi and their generation were named Wang Xiusi. Si also has a younger brother named Wang Xiuyao.Wang Xiusi's mother-in-law was the first to hear the call for water, so she and the man came over to help put out the fire. After asking Wang Xiuyun, she rushed in to save him.It's not that there is water, but that the sixth uncle didn't turn on the stove, and the earth dragon fire didn't start, let alone, and there was smoke everywhere, and the sixth uncle was choking, and the couple were trying to persuade people to go out.

I went to the village chief's house to call someone, but I didn't know what was going on inside.After Wang Xiubai entered the room where the stove was fired, he knew what was going on, but before he could make a move, he was splashed with water, and Wang Xiubai hurriedly turned on the stove to disperse the smoke, regardless of the water on his body.In the past two days, Wang Xiubai was the one who led the ground dragon. Although his hands and feet were not very dexterous, he was able to lead the ground dragon. Some people didn't seem to be serious, and they could walk, and some were curious about what Wang Laoliu was like now, so they didn't move in the yard.

Regardless of everyone's mentality, Tianding didn't have time to worry about it. He took a bucket of water, rubbed a cloth towel, and ran in to wipe his father. His face was ashen from the smoke.The two brothers watched silently in the room. Wang Xiaosi and his wife, who came back to help, went out of the house, and met the relatives who were chattering.Tian Ding ran out with the two of them, and saluted them, "Thank you brother and sister-in-law for coming to help."

Wang Xiaosi's daughter-in-law hurriedly waved her hands, they all lived in the same village, and they were all relatives, how could they expect such a big gift.

However, Tian Ding saluted three times in a row, and he was still thinking about what to send to others. Although he is a neighbor and a real relative, but etiquette cannot be discarded, and he may have to rely more on the other party in the future. Small things make people find fault.

Wang Xiuyun watched her younger brother bow to each other, and then came over and said polite words of thanks, which made Wang Xiaosi and his wife feel embarrassed, and left after saying a few words.The village head looked at Tian Ding, and then at the father and son who hadn't come out. He didn't know what the two were doing, but in comparison, the village head valued Tian Ding more and liked him more.Once people get into the eyes, no matter how they look at it, they are pleasing to the eyes.

The village head told everyone in the yard to disperse, but there were still some people who were thinking about meeting Sixth Uncle (Sixth Grandpa), wondering if they could get a meeting gift or something, and even if they didn’t become officials, they would get a gift from the capital when they came back from the capital. I can also have some good things, if it catches the eyes of the other party, it would be great to get a reward. See if they repair the house as soon as they come back, and I heard that they even make a ground dragon. In the village, even the village chief's house didn't make such a thing. How much firewood has to be wasted in winter is different for big families.

The village chief didn't know these people's small calculations, he was annoyed at the sixth child, but he still thought about the third child, how could he let others make calculations, his eyes widened, and the spectators hurriedly found their own reasons and left, just turning their heads back as they walked , looking forward to the sixth uncle (sixth grandpa) coming out at this moment, but it is a pity that when everyone dispersed, Wang Laoliu did not come out. The stove is fine today, if the water really leaks, it will be too late to regret it.The village chief's voice was very loud, and Tian Ding and Wang Xiuyun listened with their heads down.After repeating it several times, the village head didn't bother to say anything and left.The two sent the village chief to the door, and they were relieved to see the village chief walk away.

"Sister, it's amazing." Listening to his sister carrying his mother out, Tian Ding gave his sister a thumbs up. Wang Xiuyun didn't understand what it meant, so Tian Ding hurriedly explained, and then helped his mother onto her sister's back. Without the anxiety of fleeing for her life, Wang Xiuyun recited it very reluctantly, and Tian Ding saw it as frightening.

"Okay, let me down, and let your brother carry it later." Mrs. Wang was also shaking with fear, but she didn't dare to show it, fearing that her daughter would be unstable, and both of them fell down.Wang Xiuyun also knew that she couldn't be brave, so she put her down.Tian Ding sighed in his heart, sure enough, in the face of danger, human potential is infinite.

"Father!" As soon as the mother was put down here, Wang Xiubai's yelling sound came from inside. Wang Xiuyun and Tian Ding rushed in, and saw their father fell all over the place for some reason.
