Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 72 Lord, I'm Not Partial
Gan San lay on the roof of Huo Xi's small courtyard all night, and did not return to Mu's residence until the lights in the courtyard were turned off.

At the beginning, Mu Yan's grandfather Lao Xipinghou gave Mu Yan four guards, the first one was in the light, the second was in the light, and the third was Mu Kun, who was in the dark.

"Young master, the little lady of the Huo family rented the yard in Qionghua Lane for half a year. The boats from the fishermen that Hebo recruited were going to Huai'an to transport grain. She rented a house and put her mother and younger brother there."

"The boats that Hebo recruited? To transport grain to the warehouse in Huai'an?" Li Yikan Er was a little surprised and looked at Mu Yan.

"Young master, why did the new emperor make such a big move to move grain northward?"

Mu Yan frowned, and then unfolded.

"After all, Beiyan is the new emperor's feudal state. Moreover, the remnants of the Wu Dynasty still have the idea of ​​rebelling against the rebellion. Oala, Wuliangha, and Tatars have not restrained themselves in recent years, and they have continued to disturb the border. The new emperor settled down , will definitely fight against the outside world. One day there will be a big battle."

Mu Yan spoke lightly.

From the first hurdle to the second hearing, the complexion is heavy.

Mu Yan turned to look at Qian San: "Why did she rent for half a year?"

"I heard from my subordinates that Mrs. Huo was worried that her younger brother would not be able to stand the cold air on the water. She originally wanted to go ashore and rent a house before the snow fell in winter. It's just that the call for ships this time has brought the plan forward."

"Is this too early for Luoxue?" Kan Er was puzzled.Live on the shore for half a year, and on the water for half a year?
Gansan then said: "Most of the small courtyards near Qionghua Lane are rented to students who come to Beijing to take exams or study. Short-term rentals should not be allowed."

Mu Yan listened silently, thought for a while, and said to Gan San: "You usually pay more attention to that side."

"Yes." Gan San responded and went out.

Li Yikan and Er Jian looked at each other, then looked at Mu Yan: "Master, is he afraid that someone will harm her mother and child?"

"Some people don't want her to live, but I don't."

Mu Yan hooked the corner of his mouth coldly.He wanted to see if a cat or a dog could be a prince in a dragon robe in this world.

The rats in the gutter can eat wine at a banquet in a grandiose manner.

Huo Xi didn't know this.

They lay on the roof of her yard for a whole night, but she didn't notice it at all.

He and Yang's family, Yang Fu, stayed in the courtyard to clean the house, tidy up the charcoal, and help Yang's family make chicken and duck meat.He took a hoe and hoeed all the weeds in the yard again, turned over the soil, made a field ridge, and sowed vegetable seeds.

Then he chatted with Yang Shi Yang Fu for a long time, and then fell asleep in the newly rented room.

At the beginning, I couldn't fall asleep when I touched the bed. Without the wave of water supporting the boat to sway, and without the feeling of shaking, I tossed and turned without closing my eyes for a long time.

Just like when she got on the boat at the beginning, she was so dizzy by the boat that she couldn't sleep, she was very uncomfortable.

It wasn't until half an hour later that I was so sleepy that I fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up early the next morning, not only her, but Yang Shi and Yang Fu also had dark circles under their eyes.The three looked at each other and laughed together.

"It's really been floating on the river for a long time, with my feet on the ground, without water shaking twice, I couldn't fall asleep."

After Yang finished speaking, all three of them laughed.

After Huo Xi and Yang Fu washed up, they went to the kitchen to help Yang.

The kitchen in the small courtyard is not big, but it feels much better than setting up a small tandoor in the narrow bow to cook and stir-fry.

Yang Shi was only stunned for a while, and then found the feeling.

Later, it became more hearty: "This is the kitchen."

Standing in front of the big iron pot, turning over the vegetables in the pot with a big shovel, it is no longer comparable to the feeling of being shy and careful not to let go of the bow of the boat.

Yang Fu sat in front of the stove adding firewood, feeling comfortable.No wonder so many fishermen want to live ashore.

This foot is flat and stable, this is life.

Huo Xi packed a food box full of steamed rice, vegetables and meat. These are the lunches for her and Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu, and they can be eaten at noon as long as they are heated up on the boat.

He also used a piece of dried lotus leaf to wrap a few buns, and brought them to Huo Erhuai for breakfast later.

I then filled several large bamboo tubes with boiled water.He filled another water basket full of clean water and put it in the back basket.

While the three of them were eating, Huo Xi told Yang Shi: "Mother, you have to remember the way when you go out. Don't get lost."

"Don't worry, my mother has a good memory."

"Mom, try to go to crowded places when you go out, and don't strike up conversations with people you don't know. When you get home, you have to check to see if anyone is following you before you open the door. You should feel more alert when you sleep at night."

"Don't worry, mother is so big, how can she be kidnapped? Dare to follow my mother, I can't beat him to death!"

"Sister, you should shout loudly when you encounter problems. There are people living around here, and there will always be someone who will help."

"My sister doesn't know yet? I want you to tell me. Listen to your brother-in-law and Xi'er carefully, don't act impulsively, and just don't cause trouble for your brother-in-law and Xi'er."

Yang Fu pouted at Yang Shi dissatisfiedly, he is an uncle, an elder, okay?

Yang Shi bared her teeth at him, what the hell are you doing!

Yang Fu responded: "Understood."

After Huo Xi and Yang Fu finished their breakfast, they carried food boxes and water, bid farewell to Mrs. Yang and went to the ferry to look for Huo Erhuai.

When they arrived at the ferry, Huo Erhuai was sitting at the stern mending the fishing nets.

"father."

Huo Erhuai turned his head to look and laughed: "Here you come? Why don't you sleep more? Are your mother and brother okay?"

He got up and went to the shore to build a springboard, and helped the two of them onto the boat.

"It's all good. Mother made meat buns, so let's have breakfast first."

"Why does your mother still make meat buns? Dad cooked some breakfast himself."

Yang Fu put down the basket, and took out the meat bun wrapped in lotus leaves: "My sister hardly slept last night. She said she was lying on the bed, and she couldn't fall asleep without shaking."

Huo Erhuai put away the gangplank, and laughed: "Your sister is used to living on a boat, but she is not used to living a good life ashore now."

Huo Xi also smiled: "Last night when I was lying on the bed, I felt that the bed was still shaking at first, but then I felt that it wasn't shaking. I couldn't fall asleep without shaking."

Huo Erhuai then patted her head, this child.

She just boarded the boat at the beginning, the boat shook her so much that she was dizzy, and she didn't fall asleep for several nights, only when Yang Shi was hugged in her arms during the day could she sleep soundly.It's unaccustomed to go ashore.

Feeling distressed, he rubbed her head again.

Huo Erhuai took the lotus leaf bag that Huo Xi handed over, picked up a meat bag from inside, and wrapped the rest again: "Father can just eat one. I'll leave it for you to eat at noon."

Huo Xi took two more out of the lotus leaves and stuffed them into his hands.

"Father, you can eat. If we take on the job of transporting taxes and food to farmers later, you will have to work hard. Mother cooked meat and vegetables for us, steamed rice, and we can eat until noon."

"Why is your mother so lavish?" Although she said that, there was a smile on her face.Holding the three buns in his hand, he ate happily.

I usually eat big meat buns for breakfast, and rice and meat dishes for lunch.

The day seems to be over.

very nice.

Huo Erhuai was eating the buns in one hand, and was about to touch the oar board with the other.

"Brother-in-law, you eat, I'll shake it." Yang Fu pushed him away.

"Uncle, take the boat to Yanhe Village in Jiangning County."

"Yes, I see." Yang Fu nodded, and quickly rowed the boat out of the outer city ferry.

　Thank you for your support, thank you
