Such a bitter head

Author: The cultivation of immortality will last forever

Such a bitter head

Fang Yuanzhi was carrying a bundle of crops and stood at the intersection with Zhu Jianshen, not knowing which direction to go. In fact, in which direction they looked at were plains where crops were planted, and the difference was not big.

Just as she was about to shout, she saw a small branch on the path directly in front of her.

It seemed as if it suddenly fell from the sky, but there were no trees nearby.

Fang Yuanzhi walked forward happily.

Someone shows you the way, which means you have a place to stay at night!

Zhu Jianshen followed suit.

"Since you have mercy, why don't you give me more money?" He still spoke.

Fang Yuanzhi smiled: "Their lives can still be lived. The equivalent exchange brings them respect, and giving more is giving alms."

Fang Yuanzhi pointed to the crops in her hand and patted her chest: "Although they are poor, they don't steal or rob, they survive by labor. This is proud here."

Seeing that she was dragging her crops to tie them up, Zhu Jianshen asked, "What is this?"

"This is a broad bean seedling. Have you seen the pods on it? The beans inside are peeled and fried and taste delicious. Haven't you never eaten them?"

Zhu Jianshen stopped talking.

Fang Yuanzhi smiled and said, "It's normal that you haven't eaten it before. There are many things in the south."

Zhu Jianshen looked at the golden croplands shining by the sunset and asked, "The fields in Jiangnan are densely planted and there are almost no clearings. Why are the people so poor?"

Fang Yuanzhi dragged a bundle of crops, her center of gravity was unstable, and she was struggling to walk, so she said, "Do you have to help lift it?"

Zhu Jianshen frowned and said nothing.

Fang Yuanzhi smiled and said, "You are now a scholar Zhang Ze..."

This is the new identity they arranged for Zhu Jianshen. For strangers, you call them scholar Zhang Ze, and Xiangnan went to study.

Zhu Jianshen was slightly stunned, his face relaxed a lot, and then he looked at the left and right, but he still lifted the other end of the crop.

This bundle of crops is tied up with straw ropes to tie the leaves and roots. Except for mud at the roots that can easily rub onto the clothes, everything else is fine.

Fang Yuanzhi walked and said, "Last year, the Jiangnan region suffered a flood and Yangzhou was flooded. The old man said that the few acres of official fields planted by his family had no harvest, but the rent had to be paid. It is said that the government applied for tax exemption from last year's taxes, but it has not been downloaded yet."

Zhu Jianshen replied casually: "This is the matter of the Ministry of Revenue." He didn't know if the Minister of Revenue Ma Ang had reported this matter. Last year, all his energy was focused on saving his life, so he could not care about the serious business.

Fang Yuanzhi didn't understand politics or was not interested. She saw that there seemed to be a house in the woods on the far slope. She pointed and said suspiciously: "Do you want to live there tonight?"

She understood what Xu Chun said was that Zhu Jianshen suffered a little.

Let a person who has been living in a wealthy life since childhood walk all day and live in this wilderness at night. This kind of training is not harmful, but it consumes people's will.

When the two of them walked to the door of the hut in the forest, it was already dark and they could only see the figures.

Fang Yuanzhi stood outside the door and shouted a few times, but no one responded.

Fang Yuanzhi took out the fire and blew it up, and went into the house to look at it. There were three rooms, and there was also a separate cottage at the door, which was a kitchen.

The house is simple, the living facilities are complete, the bedding is brand new, there are also clothes to change, pots and pans, and some rice, flour and vegetables.

Fang Yuanzhi was so angry that she wanted to scold people. Why is this Xu Chun so unreliable!

It would be fine if Zhu Jianshen suffered, but why didn’t he even arrange a person to cook?! Did he still expect to cook by himself?

Fang Yuanzhi looked at Zhu Jianshen, who was standing at the door calmly, and asked unwillingly: "Can you cook?"

Zhu Jianshen didn't seem to hear clearly: "What?"

Fang Yuanzhi slapped her forehead depressedly: "Forget it..."

The two of them had been running around for a day, and they were hungry at this time. Staying up all night with hunger seemed not a wonderful thing.

At least she had seen Baihu cook with the servants at home. As for His Majesty, who grew up in the deep palace, how could she know what the kitchen looks like?

To be on the safe side, Fang Yuanzhi lit firewood, cooked some noodles, and beat two eggs in.

It was almost cooked, and I tasted it, and there was nothing.

She tried adding some salt, at least she could eat it.

Fang Yuanzhi put two large bowls of noodles, moved out the small table in the corner of the house and wiped it carefully, lit an oil lamp, and placed two bowls of white clear water noodles.

"Come and eat it quickly. Whether it is delicious or not, it's it."

Fang Yuanzhi said as she brought two small stools over, wiped them carefully, and sat aside.

Zhu Jianshen kept looking around. When Fang Yuanzhi was cooking, he watched at the kitchen door. Fang Yuanzhi moved the table and wiped the table. He watched at the door of the house and would never do anything.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Fang Yuanzhi just stood there and looked at the noodles that looked really not very good under the light, and smiled politely: "You can do whatever you want."

I like to eat or not, anyway, I am hungry, so I will eat first.

Fang Yuanzhi actually learned the etiquette norms well, but she often traveled outside and was very good at following the local customs. Now she has no intention of making things difficult for herself when facing the vulgar meals on the simple table. She eats it all the time and the soup splashes slightly.

She didn't think anything at all. But after Zhu Jianshen sat down opposite him, he slowly ate, showing his noble and elegant movements, silently.

Fang Yuanzhi felt a little ashamed and her meal speed slowed down a lot.

Later, she simply picked up the big bowl and went into the kitchen to clean it up quickly.

She even thought that if possible, she would not eat in front of Zhu Jianshen in the future. Isn’t this making yourself uncomfortable?

After using the rice, Fang Yuanzhi threw the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen and didn't plan to take care of it.

There are three houses in total, the east room is a bedroom with bedding, the middle is a main room, and the west room is a place where miscellaneous items are piled up.

"You stay in this east room tonight, and I'll make do with it in the west room." Fang Yuanzhi made arrangements while packing the table back to its original place.

"How to take a bath?" Zhu Jianshen, who had been silent after entering the house, finally spoke.

I think after eating such a bowl of food that is both color, fragrance and taste, he finally realized the reality.

Fang Yuanzhi choked.

The environment here is so simple, do you still have to take a shower?

Zhu Jianshen didn't speak, but just looked at Fang Yuanzhi, which was not like an order or a request, but it was impossible to refuse.

Fang Yuanzhi stumbled on her lips. She wanted to refute it, but in the end she was defeated. She lowered her head and said, "I'll find a way."

She held the fire and searched carefully inside and outside the house, found a large wooden barrel, and even found some bath beans for bathing in a corner. Although it was not a high-end product, it was enough for ordinary people to use it.

Fang Yuanzhi went to the river not far outside the door to fetch water, carefully washed the wooden bucket inside and out, and rinsed a few buckets of water several times.

Fang Yuanzhi went to clean the large iron pot on the stove several times, and even the dishes that she was too lazy to brush were washed clean together.
