The farmer picked up a husband

Chapter 41 Horses

  Song Yuzhou and Song Yucheng have been working on the furniture at home for several days. The paintwork is basically done and they just waited for it to dry. After they took care of the vegetable garden, they set off to the market to buy horses.

In the early years, the imperial court promulgated the Horse Restoration Order, encouraging people to raise private horses, and those who raised horses could reduce taxes and corvees. Someone started raising horses when the Song family was still in Shanbei, and the two brothers also learned how to ride horses at that time. Although horses are not as hard to find now as they were in the older generation, five strong red-maned horses still cost them more than thirty taels of silver.

When Fang Xi and Zhizhi came back with a cart full of medicinal materials in an ox cart, they saw a row of strong red-maned horses in the yard, each with well-proportioned muscles, strong and powerful.

Zhizhi was overjoyed, jumped out of the ox cart and galloped up to the steed, saying: "Fang Fang, this horse is much taller than the one I rented last time, and it is also physically strong!"

Fang Xi moved closer and gently touched one Looking down at the docile horse, he said: "Yes, the hair is also shiny and looks very energetic."

Song Yuzhou and Song Yucheng heard their voices came out, and one of them took the bales of grass, and the other took a big bamboo brush . Song Yuzhou brushed the mane on the back of a red-maned horse, and said, "We went to the market to buy it this morning."

Fang Xi rolled his eyes happily, and said, "Our family?"

Song Yuzhou: "Yes, the timber factory It is slowly getting started. I have to go to the county government office tomorrow to see if I can stamp the county government documents so that I can fight in Qingyu Forest." Fang Xi frowned slightly: "

This Is it troublesome?"

Song Yuzhou smiled and rubbed his shoulders: "In the past two years, the imperial court has emphasized agriculture and forestry, so it shouldn't be troublesome."

Fang Xi smiled and gently pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "That's good, Let me tell you about my side, the medicinal materials we found in the forest can't be pulled back in one cart, and we can pull them twice in two days. This time the harvest is really good. "

When Fang Xi smiles, the tails of his eyes will be raised slightly, like the tail of a small fish, which can inspire people around him to be happy with him. Song Yuzhou feels itchy when he sees Fang Xi like this, and his throat seems to be itchy too. Coughed and said: "Then use a horse-drawn horse. It can be pulled back in one trip. It's fast and good."

Fang Xi: "No need, neither I nor I can ride a horse."

Song Yuzhou: "Afternoon Nothing else, I'll take you back."

"Okay." Fang Xi paused for a while, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "By the way, we brought you chestnut scones, and we made them, which are great. Eat."

Fang Xi took the scones for Song Yuzhou, and Song Yuzhou took him to the backyard after taking it.

After that, he handed the one in his hand to Song Yucheng, and Song Yucheng could smell the faint scent of gardenia on the scone paper again. He would smell this smell in his dreams these days, but it wasn't real in his dreams. Now he could smell it. Knowing that it is such a fresh and comfortable smell... He leaned against the side of the steed, but slightly pressed his head to Song Yucheng, and asked

him: "How is it?"

Eat."

When he looked up after eating, he realized that Song Yuzhou and the others were no longer in the yard, and it was only him and him.

One of them helped him wipe the crumbs from his mouth, and said, "Can you stay still? You can eat a cake like this."

Song Yucheng felt Zhi Zhi's touch, and his warm fingertips pressed against his lips , as if he was kissing his soft hand, Song Yucheng, who was frightened, stepped back.

Zhizhi looked at him but seemed to have misunderstood, nodded and smiled and said, "I offended you."

Song Yucheng almost choked, and quickly grabbed Zhizhi's hand and said, "No offense, no offense!"

Zhi Zhi disregarded his grasped hand, and got closer to him. During the eye contact, Song Yucheng's heartbeat was extremely clear, and the breathing of the two became disordered along with the heartbeat.

He said: "Then I...can I offend you?"

Song Yucheng's mind froze immediately, his eyes just stared at him without blinking, and he didn't speak, his eyes were so deep that he stared straight at him Of.

After that, he felt that he was more like a prey being targeted, and the hunter's eyes were burning and he was about to pounce on him in an instant. As a last resort, he coughed, changed the subject clumsily, and said, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Song Yucheng seemed to have just brought his soul back, pressed his chest, and said fieryly, "Yes, yes." He

smiled and said: "Originally, the chestnuts in the forest had to be brought back and sold by someone, but when I thought about selling chestnuts, the income was too little. Tomorrow just happened to go to the market. I made candied chestnuts and chestnut cakes and sold them at the market. They should be income. There are more. But I have to go back to the forest today to get chestnuts, and prepare what I need, so that I can sell them tomorrow."

Song Yucheng: "Okay, I will accompany you."

The next morning.

Song Yuzhou let Fang Xi lie on his body to sleep yesterday, because the mouth was turned sideways and the saliva flowed all over his shoulders. Fang Xi muttered, his lips were ruddy and slightly swollen. When he opened his eyes, he saw his husband.

He thought that he missed him too much these days and was dreaming. Naturally, she was unscrupulous in the dream, Fang Xi stood up slightly, held her husband's handsome face, and bit it with a big mouthful.

"Hiss~"

Fang Xi didn't realize it until he heard the voice. He returned to the village! Fang Xi opened his eyes wide and looked at the clear tooth marks on the side of Song Yuzhou's mouth. When he just woke up, his eyes were startled and dazed, and he looked at Song Yuzhou in a daze.

Song Yuzhou smiled directly and hooked his neck to bring him down, thinking that Fang Xi was losing his temper with him. He likes Fang Xi who doesn't stick to himself, so he coaxed him and said: "My husband is wrong, I won't fuck you so hard anymore, Okay?"

Fang Xi naturally wouldn't believe it, and thought that none of the things this man said on the bed could be fulfilled, but he still nodded and said: "Well, it's time to get up, you go to the county seat, you need horsepower A lot of time."

Song Yuzhou: "It's not too time-consuming, an entire hour is enough."

Fang Xi: "I heard people say that it takes more than half a day to walk from the town, and it really saves a lot of trouble to have a horse at home. "

Song Yuzhou: "What are your plans for today?"

Fang Xi was happy when he remembered that he was going to add more items today, and said with a smile: "I sold the medicinal materials in the morning, so I went to the market to sell chestnuts with them." Song Yuzhou: "

Okay , I will come to find you in the afternoon"

...

Song Yuzhou rushed to the gate of the county government office, reported his name and the details of his trip to the guards, and soon a man in robes came to receive him and led him to the official room in the county government office.

Song Yuzhou was neither humble nor overbearing, leaned over

and said, "greet my lord, don't you know your name?" My lord's disciple, shopkeeper Song, sit down."

After Song Zhoucheng sat down, He Hong said with a smile: "I heard that shopkeeper Song wants to rent a hundred acres of land in the Qingyu Forest. It is said that the hunters dare to go in because of the rampant beasts in the Qingyu Forest. What is the so-called land?"

Song Yuzhou: "Lord Bing, a certain Song has recently studied the laws of our dynasty, and he knows that timber harvesting requires renting land to grow forests, and rotating crops. He wants to open a timber factory in Qingyu Forest. Rent so much land."

He Hong thought for a while, and said: "If that's the case, shopkeeper Song, you've caught up with the good time. In recent years, the imperial government's new policies have emphasized agriculture and forestry. The imperial court will allocate the land to you and open up business."

Song Yuzhou: "Thank

you, sir." He Hong: "You don't need to thank me, when I draw up the land conservation agreement, you sign and seal it, and take it to the accountant to pay the rent. Now, I will issue the document to you."

Song Yuzhou signed the signature and returned from the account room to He Hong, bowed to He Hong's side, raised his head and said, "My lord, I am waiting for a commoner. My family is poor and I have no This is a very good gift for you, but these few pairs of warm and tonic items were collected by my husband Lang, and I hope you don't dislike them." As he spoke, Song Yuzhou took out a large bag of copper coins from his inner pocket and stuffed them

in He Hong's sleeve.

He Hong rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Song, don't worry, as long as you are doing good business that benefits the country, the people, and the forest. I will help you impartially." Song

Yuzhou: "This time, thank you sir."
