Chapter 548 I'll Save a Seat for My Dad (Two Chapters in One)
Hu Xiaoni looked at her blankly, a little frightened.
Tears quickly filled my eyes, and the golden beans were about to fall...
"What's wrong, Xiaoni?! Xiaoni?!" Uncle Hu shouted while running: "Ouch! Xiaoni, why did you run out!"
Hu Xiaoni turned her head and saw her grandfather, raising her little arms to hug him.
Uncle Hu, always strong, picked up the round girl.
Hu Xiaoni came to rely on, held back her tears, and confidently directed her grandfather to move closer to the igloo: "Sweet!"
Uncle Hu understood and couldn't laugh or cry.
"If you want to lick this, I'll lick off your little tongue!"
After handing the child to her mother, Yan Yu was surrounded by several village veterans.
Several old men looked at her expectantly, as if they wanted to ask but didn't dare.
"Second boy, did you get the first place in the exam?"
"Your father...really passed the sixth grade in the exam?"
"Has that boy from the Liang family also passed the exam?"
Yan Yu answered one by one: "That's right, Grandpa Luo, my eldest brother took the first place in the county examination and was the first in the county case!"
"My dad is so lucky, hahaha. I didn't expect to get sixth in the exam!"
"You are going to be promising in this good year. He is the youngest candidate in the Huju exam this time. I guess there is no one younger than him in Guanzhou. If he passes the next government examination, he may be the youngest student in Guanzhou." Hahaha, sir!”
"If they take another exam, they will be Master Tongsheng?" Despite the ice and snow, the eyes of several old men were filled with anger.
"The chance is very high." Yan Yu said in a serious tone: "My master invited a powerful gentleman to teach them, just to give them an extra boost to make the chance of passing the test even greater."
After answering countless questions from the villagers, Yan Yu almost drew them what Hu Ju and Gu Feng's examination room looked like...
"Xiao Er, what happened when you came back? Don't worry about the houses in the village. We have almost repaired them." Village Chief Luo almost said that you should go and guard your father.
To be honest, they were so flustered. In the past, Yan Huaiwen was the only scholar in the village, and he could not show it off at ordinary times. Liang Tongsheng also borrowed a lot of light in this matter... Oops, I can't think about it. After thinking about it carefully, Liang Tongsheng Tong Sheng will also have to take exams in a while, as well as Yan Lao's second uncle and nephew, and the boys from the Liang family. If they all pass the exam... I don't dare to think about it!
Then how glorious will their village be!
Old Songtou looked at the white snow all over the mountains and fields, and said excitedly: "Is there something special about this snow? This bright and clean, is it because Wenxing will not let them step on the dust in the next life?"
Normally, his smooth talk would have been refuted by others.
At this moment, several old men seemed to be stunned and agreed one by one.
There is everything in the mess.
"Grandpas!" Yan Yu hurriedly stopped them, please don't tilt the building, the snow is evil, let's not touch it!
"I went into the mountains yesterday. The mountains were full of frozen wild animals. I picked them randomly. I picked up a roe deer and came back. Today I just gave half of it to my uncle and the others."
She went straight to the point and said bluntly: "I want to lead people into the mountains."
"Are they all freezing to death? Just pick them?"
"Oh, it's colder in the mountains than outside, maybe."
"That's quite evil..."
"Old Songtou, please shut up. It's still bright and clean, but it's all gone..."
Old Songtou slapped himself on the lips: "You rely on me, you rely on me, you are talking nonsense..."
"Going to the mountains to pick them up? Is that possible? I'll freeze them again!" Village Chief Luo was a little worried.
"No, they still have fur on them." Uncle Hu touched the sheepskin coat on his body, wondering if it could block the cold in the mountains.
"There is a big difference in temperature between morning and evening in the mountains. We should all freeze to death at night. Let's go into the mountains during the day. Wear thicker clothes and prepare more. It should be fine. Why don't I just go in and come out and pick up a roe deer for nothing? Where can I find such a good thing?" Yan Yu talked about the price of goods in Yongning City: "...the price of everything has increased now. It is more expensive than a year ago and it is not even a penny. No one can say whether it will continue to be cold today. We dare not stop burning charcoal." , How can I do it without having a bad taste in my stomach when I work like this?
They know best what kind of work they do and what kind of food they eat.
If you exert your strength, you have to eat a lot of meat.
Several village elders quickly agreed.
Gather everyone in the village.
…
Xiaoan Village is now gathering faster and faster.
After hearing the letter, he didn't hesitate at all, he just raised his legs and ran towards the big rock.
Yan Yu didn't stand on the big rock, mainly because he couldn't stand and it was too slippery.
Although her height is limited, her aura is exactly 1.8 meters.
"We won't wait for tomorrow, let's leave now, while the snow stops. We will pull out all the small sledges at home. We won't use the big sledges for the time being. Let's see what's going on in the mountains first."
Village Chief Luo: "I have to tell you a few words, don't run around, just follow the waiter. No matter who discovers something, don't think about dragging it home by yourself. If you go out together, everyone will share it."
Hu Er couldn't wait any longer and said loudly: "Uncle Luo, don't worry, it's not the first time that we... act collectively, hehe, waiter, Uncle Hu Er remembers it right?"
"Uncle Hu is right." Yan Yu said with a smile.
"Come on, we all know what to do, waiter, can we bring our stuff with us too?" Hu Er asked again.
Yan Yu had already made a plan in his mind: "We will not bring bamboo crossbows, but we will all bring longbows. Those who have knives and sticks at home will also bring them, just in case."
…
Not long after entering the mountain, the people of Xiaoan Village had a good start.
The frozen pheasant was lying hard in the snow.
Don't tell me, it's really easy to miss it if you don't look carefully.
It is indeed not as conspicuous as flying around when alive.
He stayed on his head and pulled several sledges.
Yan Yu stood on the first sledge in front, with everything behind him empty, ready to pull wild animals.
When we came out this time, all the people from Xiaoan Village were in their prime, with strong bodies and frost resistance.
"Haha! Another one! It's really here to pick goods!"
Another person found a frozen pheasant.
As they went deeper, they found more and more wild animals.
The excitement passed, and everyone went from being happy to slowly becoming calm.
"Xiao Er, do you think it's cold in the mountains or on the grasslands?" Hu Er suddenly asked.
Yan Yu looked sideways, not expecting Uncle Hu to think of this.
"In this kind of weather, it's almost the same." Yan Yu replied conservatively.
"Then tell me, will the cattle, sheep, and people on the other side of the mountain freeze to death?" Hu Er asked again in a low voice.
"Their living habits are different from ours. Our Maodong needs to prepare enough food and charcoal fires. They can also make fires to keep warm and store food, but they shouldn't be as prepared as we are." Yan Yu said.
Hu Er chuckled: "I think it's more difficult for them. We sleep on the fire kang and they sleep in tents. How can it be the same? I just thought about it. Even the furry animals in the mountains can't stand it, so they can." Can you bear it?”
Yan Yu: I can’t stand it! It must be unbearable.
She had already sent the goshawk flying over for inspection.
It's not easy to know what Beirong was like. Come on, let the goshawk fly around and cast a shadow.
"Uncle Hu, it's time for us to go back. Let's just walk here today. We can't go any further. The sun is going down."
Yan Yu made a prompt decision and planned to take people out of the mountain.
Hu Er wanted to say something else, but swallowed it back.
…
For several days in a row, God showed his favor and did not send any snowflakes.
People in Xiaoan Village are becoming more and more familiar with the road into the mountains.
I often come here in autumn, when the trees are withered in winter, and it is easy to turn around and lose track of where I am. After walking for a few days, I also walked through some doorways and marked various places. Easier to distinguish.
Their feet also changed.
It is tied with a wooden board wider than the foot.
It was a bit strenuous to walk, and I had to raise my legs.
But after tying the wooden planks, it was not easy to step into the snow. Everyone who has tasted the feeling of freezing on the feet knows how uncomfortable it is.
"Xiaoer, please don't come tomorrow. It looks like it's going to snow again. Uncle Qi Wu will pick out your share for you." Qi Wu felt distressed. Those who entered the mountain were all strong laborers from the village, and Xiaoer was the only one who came into the mountain. Even though a child was standing on a sledge and being pulled by a dog, the coldness in the mountains was enough to make him suffer.
"Uncle Qi Wu, let's talk secretly." Seeing that the other uncles were far away, Yan Yu reached out to her uncle Qi Wu.
Qi Wu subconsciously turned his back, lowered his body, and let her climb on his back.
"Uncle Qi, if so many wild animals in the mountains are frozen to death, how many will be left after spring begins?"
Yan Yu knew that she could think of it, and others could think of it, otherwise the atmosphere would not be getting darker and darker day by day. Obviously they harvested a lot of wild animals every day, but they didn't see the villagers smiling like they did when they entered the mountains the first day. So happy.
Only the uncles from the Qi family were shallow-minded and did not think that far ahead.
"As little as possible. When the weather warms up, there will be more." Qi Wu said.
This is his simple idea.
"Uncle Qi Wu, our mountain is connected to Beirong. If they freeze to death their cattle, sheep, and people, and they don't have enough calves and lambs after spring starts, what do you think they will eat? Will they be hungry?" Yan Yu asked.
Qi Wu didn't even think about it: "They deserve to starve to death!"
"You deserve it!" Yan Yu whispered: "But they won't just wait to die. If they are not doing well, they will come to rob us. This has become a habit. If there is nothing, they will come to rob us."
Qi Wu's footsteps paused.
He asked gruffly: "Didn't you say they would come in autumn?"
"That's not a good idea. I can't live anymore. How can I still squeeze in time?" Yan Yu said again: "Uncle Qi Wu, we have to save more food. I think it will be colder on this day this year. We have to Eat meat, eat more meat. If there is less, the villagers will not be willing to eat it. It’s better to have more. This winter, not only can’t we lose weight, but we also have to gain weight. If the Beirong really comes, we have to gain enough. Use your strength to deal with them!”
She squeezed Qi Wu's shoulder and said depressedly: "Uncle Qi Wu, have you not eaten well recently? Why are you pinching your bones?"
Qi Wu:......
It hurt a little from being pinched.
"Xiaoer, are you stronger again?"
Yan Yu:......
"Ah? What's that, Uncle Qi Wu, it hurts when I pinch you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't control my strength..."
…
The next day, it really snowed again!
Yan Yu's meat-saving business was forced to suspend.
Gouzhu pulled her into Yongning City.
He was found by the servants of the palace.
"Master, why are you in such a hurry? I just entered the city and I haven't returned home yet!" Yan Yu complained slightly while patting the snowflakes on his body.
"Drink some ginger tea first." Wang Deshan said.
Yan Yu took one mouthful and smacked it with his mouth, feeling that it was not as strong as his own fire toad meat strips.
"You collect and count all the charcoal stored at home. The palace comes forward and buys it all." Wang Deshan also took a sip and said with a smile.
Yan Yu stopped and looked at her godfather suspiciously.
"Who will come forward? Where can I pay?" Yan Yu asked.
Wang Deshan smiled and put down the tea bowl, pointing at himself: "Who else can it be? Be your uncle. Don't worry, I will definitely not owe you a penny."
"Uncle!" Yan Yu exclaimed, looked around, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you take this job? Isn't this the Crown Prince's Consort..."
Wang Deshan chuckled and said: "The Crown Prince's Consort is young and has been married for a short time. She has little experience. The prince is worried that someone will bully her. So, let you, uncle, serve her from the side to avoid those people being blinded!"
"This is all the kindness of the prince!"
Yan Yu: Haha!
As expected of the prince, the words are really nice.
Not only did he save the Crown Prince's Consort's face, but he also pointed out a capable person to get the job done.
"Master, I can finally put my mind at ease now that this job has fallen to you. Our accounts are cleared. I can come whenever you need me."
"Just deliver it. We can talk to the accountant. We will pay in cash and not delay the payment." Wang Deshan said.
"Is your father going back to the city soon?" he asked again.
Yan Yu nodded and said, "It will be in the next two days."
Wang Deshan: "This job of ours is not a one- or two-day job. There are not many capable people around. Your father is a good hand at doing things, but unfortunately, there is not enough time... After he finishes the exam, Master, Master will arrange a good place for him."
Yan Yu rolled her eyes and laughed, "Master, if this job is done well, can we show our face in front of the prince?"
Wang Deshan glanced at her and knew what the child was thinking.
"What? You don't want your father to take the exam, and you want to take a shortcut?"
"No, no, fame is still important. It's more important. It will make the road easier. That's right, uncle, you said your good grandson is good at work, right? I'll run errands for you... What do you think?" Yan Yu picked up the teapot warming on the fire beside her and refilled her uncle's cup.
"Oh--" Wang Deshan stretched out the sound: "That's what you're thinking."
Yan Yu just laughed, and her eyes were so flattering.
Wang Deshan thought for a while and said: "Let your father show up and register, let everyone know that there is such a person, our family will assign him some errands first, and he will report to the palace after he finishes the exam..." He smiled and said angrily: "You, you are taking up a position for your father!"
"Ah!" Yan Yu went over to her uncle like a servile man and pounded his legs and shoulders. "Grandpa Gan, thanks to you, otherwise when will my dad be able to make a breakthrough!"
She carefully controlled her strength.
I don't know if he has eaten too well recently and has gained weight again...I am so worried!
Wang Deshan squinted his eyes happily and spoke to his grandson from the bottom of his heart: "Your dad is really helped by you! When the prince wants to employ people, he will not look at them one by one. There are so many scholars who passed the exam this time, and they are not sure where they will be sent. Originally, our family thought about arranging a good place for your dad nearby, but he is old and his brain is not as fast as you, a ghost. Where can there be a better place than under the nose of our prince..."
Yan Xiaoer: My dad is not fighting alone, he also has me! He wants fame and a good job, and he uses Grandpa Gan's back door to leave others with no way out~! Hehe~
