Chapter 463： small talk

Latest website: He is a little depressed. He feels that he is also of good character and will definitely not disappoint his future daughter-in-law.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm considered a young talent after all, and I can take advantage of my appearance and family background, and I work hard to make progress and be of good character. It's already the best choice."

Zhou Yong frowned and looked at him, "I think I'm sick of my brain, and I'm actually talking nonsense with you."

Zhou Shan also reminded, "The county master is still here, Brother Zhou Yi, you should stop."

Only then did Zhou Yi remember that the county master was still there.

My face blushed, embarrassed...

It is indeed a bit embarrassing to discuss the topic of taking a concubine with a friend in front of a woman.

Zhou Yong was also a little remorseful. He just said hi, but he forgot. Fortunately, he stopped his horse in time.

He said embarrassedly, "Uh, we're not used to keeping our mouths shut, the county master forgives me, hehe."

"You said what you said, I didn't hear anything." The embarrassment was over, the county owner turned his head to look at the chef's barbecue, "Is it cooked? Can you eat it? It's been roasting for a long time, I'm good hungry."

Seeing that the county owner was thinking about eating, the flushing on Zhou Yi's face slowly subsided.

Zhou Shan also used chopsticks to help the cook to turn it over, "These game dishes are roasted today, and they are definitely not as delicious as the venison you sent before."

"I also think roasted venison is delicious, but it's more nourishing when it is stewed in the palace. I still eat roasted venison when I was in Liaodong."

"Next time you have venison to send over, even people will come along, it's so crowded."

Princess Xuexi dragged her chin with her hand, and said with an annoyed expression, "I've been studying the rules in the palace recently, and I probably won't be able to come out any more."

Zhou Shan spread his hands, "Then I'm powerless."

"Hey…"

Zhou Yong filled a bowl of pheasant soup that had just been served, and said, "Eat meat and meat, what's so annoying, the way is up to people, you're not going out today."

"It doesn't matter if you can't go out in the future. It's not fun to go out in the cold weather. It's not too far from the New Year. After the New Year, it's the New Year's Day. How can you come out and see the lights?"

She broke her fingers and counted, "There is still more than a month. It's not too long, and it's not too short. I should be able to get through it."

"Haha, then why did you stay in the palace for the first half of last year?"

"There's no way. At that time, my great-grandmother wanted me to stay with her. I had no choice, and I also felt that she was so pitiful and lonely. The rules are different now."

"Then take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yong also packed a bowl of chicken soup for her, and he also packed a bowl for everyone else.

Princess Xuexi pouted, stirred the chicken soup in front of him, and stopped talking.

"This pheasant soup tastes good too. Did you keep it for your wife?"

The cook replied, "Young Master Zhou Shan, don't worry, Madam also has a copy."

"That's good, you bake more, and let my aunt taste the taste of the roast later."

"Yes."

"Intimate." Zhou Yi praised him.

Zhou Shan smiled, "In this freezing weather, drink some hot soup and water to warm your body. Ruixue is a good year, and the coming year must be another good year."

"I heard from my father that the number of people who freeze to death has been increasing in various places recently. The emperor has ordered that all the prefectures north of the capital begin to cook porridge for seven days. We are all snowflakes flying all over the sky, and it is estimated that the further north is colder and snowier Big."

Hearing Zhou Yi talking about this, Zhou Yong remembered that people in their village often freeze to death in winter.

"We used to have people in our village who froze to death every one or two years. Most of them were crushed to death by the collapse of their houses in the middle of the night. There were also bachelors who drank too much.

"The houses in the countryside are not strong, especially the thatched houses, which cannot hold up the snow, and collapse is inevitable."

The second child also said, "We used to be thatched huts. It's good to clean the roof diligently while the weather is fine."

"I mean, the south is still fighting, and the north is starting to cook porridge again. This year's treasury is in short supply, so it must be good weather in the coming year, otherwise..."

"Don't worry, the imperial court will start to promote new varieties after the new year, and complete the distribution before the beginning of spring, so that the people can sow seeds in time in the spring. These do not need to occupy fertile fields. Looking at the snow this year, next year will be a good year again. ."

It was planted by his father, but Zhou Yong knew very well the yield of those seeds, which were drought-resistant and barren-resistant.

"I hope so. Our grandfather also said that the enke will be added next year. The test questions may be related to farming, and the same is true for the rural test. It makes me itch and I really want to end next year."

"Then you go, it's nothing to try. You will only have to wait two years for the exam next year. Anyway, you were only eighteen at that time, so there are still many opportunities." The knowledge is not enough, I also want to take the test."

"My grandfather wouldn't let me go, saying that I was still young, I didn't pass the test, but I was too big. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. And he said that with my current knowledge, I can't pass the test. , still have to wait three years. It’s better to accumulate first, and make a big push after three years.”

The boss patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, it's a waste of your life to discuss this with us. You'd better listen to your grandfather."

The second child also nodded, "Yes, Brother Zhou Yi, I also want to try Tongsheng in three years. You can still bail me out then."

"Okay, easy to say."

"Last time you promised to give me the annotations for the books you will use in your exams, but you haven't given them to me yet."

Zhou Yi looked at him blankly for a while, and then suddenly realized that he was quick to say goodbye.

"Oh, I forgot, but I only have one set. I still need to use it. I can borrow it from you."

"also."

The Princess Xuexi they were talking about wasn't interested at all, and couldn't get in a word. Those who were bored could only patronize and eat.

Meat is easy to satiate, and she just drank two more bowls of soup, but she couldn't eat it.

"Are you full? Let's have another bowl?" Zhou Yong asked when she saw her putting down her chopsticks

"I'm full, no more."

"Then it's time for us to eat."

Uh... Princess Xuexi only found out that they didn't seem to move much, she ate it all by herself.

She was relieved after being embarrassed for a while, she couldn't blame her for being greedy, who asked them to patronize and talk.

Taisun also came back at this time~ She moved her seat and divided his brother to sit.

"Brother, come and eat some, drink a bowl of soup to warm up your body." After that, let Caiwei pack a bowl of pheasant soup warmed on the stove.

"Well, are you ready to eat?"

"more or less."

"Then go back early, there is no sun now."

"Oh, well, you eat first."

Zhou Shan asked, "Can Taisun gain anything?"

"No, the shopkeeper said that the scholar only started writing this year. There are only three volumes. I don't know if there are any more. I searched for two other miscellaneous books."

"If there is, I might be able to find it in the next year."

"I hope so."
