Although Li Tong really couldn't think of it, how could the jade pendant that was well worn on his body be lost inexplicably because he was in a hurry?
What’s even weirder is, why did he lose all his things?
It doesn’t make sense!
But looking at the surrounding environment, it's obvious that we haven't left the mountains yet.
Look at these people again. Since they dare to do such things, I'm afraid they are confident.
Realizing that he was under someone else's roof, Li Tong had to lower his head and admit that he was unlucky.
Jiang Shu saw Li Tong and smiled slightly.
Of course he had the confidence to do this to Li Tong.
Between Hanzhong and Jincheng, Yang'an Pass is the only way.
Now he is already a general in Yang'anguan. He has met many people, so he naturally knows some things about Hanzhong.
Nowadays, there are basically only two aristocratic families that can enter Hanzhong, one is the He family with three bedrooms, and the other is the Li family with six bedrooms.
The Li family is centered in Nanxiang. In Jiang Shu's opinion, among the Li family in Hanzhong, the most honorable person is Mu Niangzi.
As long as Mrs. Mu doesn't show up, he won't be afraid even if the Grandfather of the Li family comes.
Isn't it because of the reputation of Feng Langjun and Zhao Langjun that he can take on the position of partial general?
Do the six members of the Li family dare to confront Feng Langjun?
Give them ten guts!
I saved your life, and I didn't ask you to repay me just for the sake of Mrs. Mu having the same surname.
I took something, not from your hand, but from the hands of a barbarian. Do you have any objection?
Jiang Shu and his party took Li Tong back to Yanganguan, and kindly allowed him to rest for a day in Yanganguan, changed him into coarse linen clothes, and gave him a few pieces of dry food.
It's the kind of dry food made only from white flour. It's the kind of hard food. If you chew it in one bite, you might break two teeth. Then he gave him a water bag, which was a bit shabby and far from the water he lost. So good.
In the end, he was left to find his own way.
Li Tong stood in Guancheng, looking at the pedestrians coming and going from time to time, feeling a little confused.
After sneaking out from Nanxiang and being brought back to Yang'an Pass, Li Tong discovered that he had actually gone in a big circle, but in the end he accomplished nothing, lost everything he had with him, and even almost lost his life. .
If he hadn't been so generous and told him that he didn't need to repay the clothes on his back and the water bag in his hand, he might still be in debt.
Even if he could chew the dry food in his hand, he would definitely not be able to walk for a few days.
Jiang Shu calculated very accurately. This small amount of dry food would at most allow him to reach Nanxiang.
The only way to go further is to beg for food.
Li Tong looked to the south, that was the way to Jincheng.
Look to the east, that is the road to Nanxiang.
Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he slowly walked eastward.
The horrific experience of the past few days was still lingering in his mind for a long time. How could he still dare to run around?
When Li Mu heard that Li Tong, who had quietly disappeared, suddenly came back, he came over from the workshop angrily and without saying a word, he slapped him a few times.
Li Tong was beaten so hard that his handsome face became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Tong did not dare to be stubborn this time, and knelt down on the spot, crying bitterly and saying, "Sister, I know I was wrong."
Part of the reason why I cried bitterly was because the slap hurt so much.
His unusual attitude of acknowledging his mistake made Li Mu almost duck when he was about to slap him again. His hand stopped midway and he slapped him again with a "bang" sound.
Just this moment made Li Tong feel a little stupid, and he forgot the words he had planned.
This... why are you still fighting?
Li Mu was also stunned. She naturally refused to admit that she had slapped her too much, so she put one hand on her hips and pointed at Li Tong with the other, asking, "What's wrong?"
"My fault is that I don't understand my sister's hard work, and my fault is that my younger brother is too willful."
Li Tong answered honestly.
Li Mu was startled, wondering if this was still her brother?
"When I come back this time, I will definitely listen to my sister's words and take good care of the village in Nanxiang."
Li Qiu raised his face that was as swollen as a pig's head, "Sister, I heard that "Book of Pan Sheng" is the first book on reclamation, and I also heard that "April Civil Order" is also a rare agricultural book, little brother I plan to find them all and study them carefully."
Li Mu was really surprised this time.
She looked at Li Tong carefully and wondered why this brother changed so much when he went out for a trip. Could it be that he hit something evil? Or...has someone changed his mind?
After thinking for a moment, she turned her head and ordered the servant next to her, "Go and call the second wife of the Xu family over."
When Li Tong heard this, his expression changed.
Li Mu, who had been staring at him secretly, nodded, thinking that as long as this didn't change, he would still be the same Adi.
"Mother Mu, did you call me?"
The second wife of the Xu family came over quickly, blessed her, and asked.
Li Tong couldn't control his eyes and looked at her.
Xu Erniang just lowered her head and didn't even look at him.
This made him feel a little disappointed.
"You have worked hard these days taking care of the farm. My incompetent brother is back now and has decided to learn how to run the farm. I will have to ask you to help me."
Li Mu stared at Xu Erniang, smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice, "After all, Feng Langjun left these matters to you two before he left."
The word "Feng Langjun" is a bit strong.
Xu Erniang lowered her head and said, "I understand. I will try my best and dare not let Mr. Feng down."
Li Mu nodded, thinking that this was a sensible person.
Li Mu turned his head again and said to Li Tong, "As for the "Book of Pan Sheng" and the "April Civil Order", I will notify the tribe and let them find ways to find them. You can wait with peace of mind for now. If you have the news, I will send it to you."
After saying that, he took the people away.
There are a lot of things waiting for her in the workshop, how can she have time to stay here for too long?
As for my brother, as long as he is content with his duties, even if he does nothing, he will still be better than before.
If he really wants to run the farm, that would be the best. After all, they are siblings from the same mother. The relationship between the two is always closer than others. If there is a chance, she won't mind giving him a hand.
But if he really dared to deceive himself again and continue to be confused, he would have no choice but to kill his relatives and tie him back to Jincheng.
After Li Tong and Li Mu left, he stood up, looked at Xu Erniang, his face became hot, and said, "Er Niang..."
Xu Erniang lowered her head and took a step back, facing Li Tongfu Yifu, "Li Langjun has just come back. He must be exhausted, so he should go back and rest first. There is still something to do in the fields, so I have to go and do some work first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Li Tong was stunned.
Although Xu Erniang didn't say it explicitly, he could still feel that there was already a layer of unfamiliarity between the two.
Li Tong looked at her retreating back, and he suddenly felt that the separation between the two of them might not be a layer of unfamiliarity, but an invisible mountain.
This mountain is simply despairing.
Xu You came out of his home and went to his uncle Xu Ci's house.
I asked the servants and found that my uncle was not at home, but my cousin was studying in the backyard.
After asking about his cousin's location, Xu You went to Xu Xun and asked, "Brother, are you free today?"
Because Xu Xun couldn't keep his mouth shut, he was imprisoned and had his leg broken a few days ago by the two girls. He was first imprisoned at home to study. Later, although the confinement was lifted, he rarely spoke when he went out.
He probably took this lesson to heart.
At this time, he was holding a book and reading. When he heard Xu You's question, he didn't even raise his head and said, "What's the matter?"
"I heard that today is the day when the Xinghan Association was officially established. I want to go and have a look. If possible, it would be best to join. Brother, do you want to come with us?"
Xu Xun is now upset when he hears the news about a certain smooth talker, let alone meeting a real person. The most important thing is that he has to submit to him!
If this is really the case, it would be easier to let him die!
"Not going."
So Xu Xun simply refused.
Xu You knew how this cousin felt, and he came here just to show his brotherly love.
It was not unexpected to hear the other party's answer.
It’s okay that his elder died before his eldest father. His eldest father also passed away a few years ago. Now he is the only one left to support the family. Seeing that it is declining day by day, if he doesn’t think of a way to fight, how long will it take?
But this cousin is different from me. He has an uncle above him.
Now that my uncle has obtained the official position of compiling classics, he is definitely going to take a step further. How can I compare?
Seeing that Xu You was about to turn around and leave, Xu Xun finally couldn't help but said, "Brother, Feng... Mingwen created that Xinghan Society. I heard that it requires everyone to contribute money and effort, just to cultivate the land." Nanzhong?”
"Exactly."
Although Feng Yong had warned the people present not to talk nonsense, he actually knew in his heart that this matter could not be hidden from anyone.
After all, the people who came here at that time did not necessarily rely on him for a living, and they did not form an interest group. In addition, some people may not be convinced by him. Why should they listen to you?
It's just that the talkative Xu Xun taught him a lesson first, and everyone is not a fool. Now everyone in Jincheng can guess that Feng Tubao is actually quite powerful.
Moreover, he had real interests in his hands, and even had the official title of Nanxiang to speak to, so those people didn't really want to offend him.
So the news wasn't too far off the mark.
But Feng Yong's plan to colonize Nanzhong was known to almost everyone in the powerful families.
But how to cultivate it and how to make a profit is not clear.
As for growing sugar cane to extract sugar...who knows if that's true?
Because the candy he was talking about was too exaggerated, and no one had ever seen it before.
Therefore, not many people spread rumors about this matter.
Besides, when Qiaoyan Lingse Feng Langjun went to Hanzhong, he said he was going to collect folk songs!
The results of it?
The mining continued on cattle and sheep, and even in the mines in the mountains...
How can there be such a collection of styles? !
Therefore, when it comes to planting sugar cane, not only those who have no intention of following up do not believe it, but even those who are determined to do it with Feng Yong are murmuring in their hearts, will they repeat the old thing of Hanzhong?
But no matter what, as long as there are benefits to following Feng Langjun, what is sowing is not sowing?
It is precisely because of this mentality that people who plan to join the association are either like Xu You, who has the family's downfall right in front of him, forcing him to take a gamble.
Either he is having a hard time at home and plans to learn from Zhao Jiaerlang to create a bright future.
For those who are more serious, as long as there is a way out or hope, who is willing to follow in the nonsense? After all, the risk is too great.
Is this barren land just a joke?
Even if someone makes an exception and wants to mess around, they still hesitate in their hearts and take a chance: wait and see, wait until they become famous, and then follow them.
Therefore, the reason why Xu Xun was unwilling to join in the fun was not entirely because he couldn't stand a certain country bumpkin.
Of course, being uncomfortable with it must be one of the reasons.
"Then have you ever thought about it. Now that the Prime Minister's army has just arrived in Nanzhong, let alone how long it will take to pacify it, even if it is pacified, who can guarantee that the wild land of Nanzhong will be productive in a few years? Aren't you afraid of him...Aren't you afraid of losing all your capital?"
Xu Xun originally wanted to say, "I'm not afraid of him lying to you," but after all, he was someone who had his legs broken for talking too much.
When I think about the rumors that even the inner court was involved in this matter, wouldn't it concern the current His Majesty and Queen?
It doesn't matter if the rumor is false. If it is true, if he says this again, he will be rude again and immediately change the words that have already been spoken.
"Isn't that true?" Xu You said hesitantly, "That Feng Langjun... doesn't seem like a big talker."
Xu Xun sneered, "Where does that title of clever words and words come from?"
Feng Langjun's clever words are not considered curse words nowadays.
Xu You said silently in his heart.
But he didn't want to refute his cousin's words, so he had to say at the moment, "Brother is right. I'm going to go today and just listen to what he said. If the promise is really empty, then that's it."
But what I was thinking was: If what Feng Langjun said is true, as long as we can get a long-term property, let alone a few years, even if it takes ten years, it will be worth thousands of dollars.
Otherwise, based on the current situation in his house, how many years can he survive?
Thinking about the shiny red pillars that blinded people when passing by the Guan Mansion and the Zhang Mansion, not to mention the horse bolts at the door of the two houses. Last year, the masons were asked to carve them all again.
The Suan Ni's figure engraved on it, with its teeth and claws showing, looks more ferocious and arrogant than others.
Look at my own house again, it's wilted and has no energy at all!
Thinking of this, Xu You couldn't help but sigh. The Guan family has a magnificent Guan Ji, and the Zhang family has a Zhang Ji who has been banished from a fairy to a mortal. They are both good luck!
It's my uncle's house. If I send a second wife out, I can get the glory of writing classics in a blink of an eye.
Not to mention that the sixth room of the Li family gave a wife, Mu, and now she has a firm foothold in Hanzhong.
I would like to imitate it, but Er Niang gave it away with her own hands. If she gives another one away, what excuse can she make?
Besides, the second wife of my uncle’s family is engaged to someone else, but my sister has not yet been engaged to someone else...
So now it seems that the only thing we can do is take advantage of the fact that the connections and reputation left behind by the eldest father have not been gone for a few years, and quickly find a way to stabilize the decline of the family. Otherwise, after a few more years, who will Will you still know yourself?
With this thought in his mind, Xu You said to Xu Xun, "Brother is right, I will take note of it."
After finishing speaking, he took his leave.
