The splendid countryside of the princess

Chapter 161 Tang Feng was bestowed an official and returned home
"Master, do you want to go to the place where you found Zizhi again? Are you bored at home? I'll accompany you up the mountain for a stroll! What's the point of always reading Buddhist scriptures at home?" Tang Dai walked into the study , looking at the old monk who was in meditation in the room, he began to tempt him to take her to the deep mountains.

"No, I won't bring you a little burden." The immortal monk turned his head arrogantly.

"Master, good master, good master, just take me there! You see, last time you took me there, you found Zizhi, which you haven't been able to find for decades. Maybe you can find something good again this time." Woolen cloth!"

"When I'm a three-year-old child? Coax me! Don't go, you don't say anything this time." Immortal monk turned around and turned his back to Tang Dai.

Tang Dai saw that the master was so arrogant and difficult today, so she kept silent, but she wanted to go again, what should I do?Standing there, rolling his eyeballs to think of countermeasures.

Looking at the hands of the master, it was the Buddhist scriptures that they copied for them when they asked the elder brother Xiaoxianseng for help to save grandpa, and they still read them in their hands.I can't help thinking about it, I have it!

Ignoring the immortal monk, he went back to his study, picked up a pen, laid out paper, and began to silently write Buddhist scriptures again.This silent edition is the best, and it is known as the most gorgeous "Avatamsaka Sutra" among Buddhist scriptures in modern times. Only the first ten volumes are silently published, and you can't see the rest, so you are guaranteed to be itchy.Hmph, in order to read all of this Buddhist scriptures, you have to obediently take me there.

When Tang Dai finished silently writing the first ten volumes of "Avatamsaka Sutra", and finished her handwriting, she walked into the study room, handed it to the master without saying a word, turned around and left the study room, and went about her own business.

An hour later, Tang Dai, who was reading in her study, heard the footsteps of her master "treading" going upstairs. She curled her lips, pretending not to know, and still looked down at her book.

"Little girl, why are there only so many scriptures? Is there any more? Where are they? I'll give it to my teacher soon." Before the immortal monk could push the door open, a voice rang out from the door of the study.

Tang Dai still ignored her and just looked down at the book.The immortal monk pushed the door open, saw Tang Dai reading a book, and spoke to her again.

"Damn girl, didn't you hear the teacher's words? Just pretend for me. What's the content behind this scripture? Huh?"

"Master, didn't you turn your back on me and ignore me? Why did you ask for it again? I don't know. I'm in a bad mood now, and I can't remember what happened later."

"Oh, little girl, tell me, who made you feel bad? I'll beat him up to help you vent your anger. When you feel better, you can copy the scriptures to me."

Heh, you said I was pretending, the master is a master at pretending, Tang Dai rolled her eyes and slandered.

"No one else messed with me, and it wasn't you, Master! Hmph, I don't want to copy. You go out, I also want to read a book to dispel bad emotions."

"I...why did I offend you? Say, I will definitely change as a teacher. As long as it can make you feel better, I will definitely change."

"Master, do you keep your word?"

"Keep your word, keep your word, definitely count."

"Okay, you take me to play in the deep mountains, take me once, and I'll copy ten volumes of scriptures for you to read." Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Tang Dai raised the conditions she had in mind.

"Ah... That's too little, twenty volumes, twenty volumes at a time."

"Ten volumes!"

"Twenty volumes!"

"Eight volumes!"

"Fifteen volumes!"

"Five volumes!"

"Yeah... you damn girl, you're as stubborn as a donkey, it's agreed, ten volumes will be ten volumes!"

"When will you take me there?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow, today is too late. Now you copy ten volumes silently for me!"

"Didn't I just give you ten volumes? Ten more volumes, next time!"

"Does the ten volumes count?"

"Of course, why not?!"

"..." Immortal monk.

Turning around silently, he went back to his study to study the ten volumes that Tang Dai just silently copied for him, the little girl's film is so hard to get!
The days slipped away in the countless fights between Tang Dai and her master Xianseng. When Tang Dai went to the mountains several times and the scriptures were copied to Volume No. 80, everyone wore thick cotton clothes. Tangjia Village And ushered in the first snow of the year.

In the white snow, on the way from Chang'an County to Tangjia Village, Tang Feng and He Zhuzi drove their carriages against the snow and drove home from the capital.

The two of them worked hard outside for two years. Together with the people from the Ministry of Agriculture, they successfully promoted the double-cropping rice and three-cropping rice all over the country in Fengnan!

Coupled with this year's favorable weather and a large-scale rice harvest across the country, the good news from various prefectures and counties flew into the palace like snowflakes and flew to the desk of Emperor Feng Qianjun's imperial study.After reading the memorial, Feng Qianjun was delighted for a moment, and ordered Gui Gonggong to pass on Feng Rongruo to the palace, and discussed with him how to reward the entire Ministry of Agriculture, as well as Tang Feng who had the most credit.

"My lord, after ten days of walking, I'm finally home! Fortunately, the snow is not heavy, otherwise we will be stuck on the road!" He Zhuzi, who was driving the car, looked at the familiar scenery on both sides of the road, a little excited, Chatting with Tang Feng in the carriage.

"Yeah, I've been busy for two full years, and I'm finally home. Although I'm not returning home, my little sister's hard work has not been in vain, and I have lived up to her heart."

"Yes, ma'am, if the young lady knows that the emperor has bestowed on you an official position, I don't know how to be happy!"

"Heh... Look, we've passed Feilai Temple, and we're almost there." Tang Feng never felt so eager to go home, to Tangjia Village.

He Zhuzi had the same idea as him, he wanted to drive the carriage fast, but because of the thin snow on the road, he had to drive steadily!

"Little girl, little girl, you little girl, what about people? You haven't had enough appetite to become a teacher? Didn't you say that you have copied all of them? Why can't I see it right! There are not only eighty Buddhist scriptures, I think Also, quickly copy it for the teacher!"

The loud voice of the old man Xianseng came from the study on the second floor, resounding throughout the Tang family upstairs and downstairs. Tang Dai, who was making wontons with Aunt Wang in the kitchen, twitched the corners of her mouth, pretending not to hear, and continued to cook. live.

"Miss, how old is your master? I think his beard and hair are all white, and he still looks like a child. He chokes with Miss all day long!" Aunt Wang heard it too, and raised her head to ask Tang Dai.

"He! Aunt Wang, if I tell you his age, you won't believe it. The old man is like this, the older he gets, the more he looks like a child!"

"That's right. I remember when I was in my natal family when I was a child, there was an old man in the family. He lived to be a hundred years old. The child was so angry that he couldn't bear it, and his temper was weird. His grandchildren had nothing to do with him, so they had to do everything. Follow him, get him what you want to eat, and accompany him if you want to do anything. Still being scolded by him non-stop.”

"Haha... Really. My master is only bullied by me. I have a lot of ways to punish him. Aunt Wang, Uncle He has been away for the past two years, and your family has been separated again. Originally, your family followed me for the sake of one family. People are together, but the result is far and wide. Today is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and I don’t know where my brother and Uncle He are? Have you returned to the capital!"

"Miss, you are speaking politely again. Although we don't get together very often, we are very satisfied as a family knows that each other is doing well. That's right, I don't know where the two of them are now? This family is under It’s snowing, so it should be snowing in the capital too, right?”

"Tang Xiaoniu, little girl, you came up here as a teacher, and you pretended to be deaf there, right? I heard your voice downstairs. Come up quickly, and silently copy the rest of the scriptures to your teacher. If you don't come up again, believe it or not, you got medicine for the teacher, poisoning your ears to deafness, making you really deaf, you stinking girl..."

"The ears are really good, we can hear our voices! Aunt Wang, there are not many left, you take care of it by yourself, I went upstairs, if I don't go, my master will lose his temper as a child. I have to work hard to coax him by cooking delicious food." Tang Dai had no choice but to put down the wonton wrappers in her hand, greeted Aunt Wang, and went upstairs to copy the scriptures.

The immortal monk in the study on the second floor heard that his little apprentice had gone to the study on the third floor, and knew that she had gone to copy the scriptures, so he stopped talking and stopped screaming.

Outside, after a long journey, Tang Feng's master and servant finally arrived home, and stopped the carriage at the door of the house. Tang Dagui, who heard the sound of the carriage, ran out and saw that it was Tang Feng, and hurriedly opened the courtyard door of his house.

"Uncle, how are you doing recently?" Tang Feng got off the carriage and greeted Tang Dagui.

"Okay, it's good. You have worked hard all the way, and you are dying of cold. Come home, your mother was still nagging yesterday, saying that Xiaowazi went out to study as soon as the school was on holiday, and she hasn't come back yet. I don't know when you will go home? I miss you."

"Heh... where's my mother? Where's my little sister?"

"Eldest son, are you back? Ma'am is busy at the tofu shop, and the young miss is upstairs copying scriptures for her master. I'll call them."

"Aunt Wang, I don't need you to go. I'll go upstairs to see the chick later. Let Xiao Min go to the tofu shop. Uncle He, you park the carriage and go into the house to have a rest. It's been a long time since I've seen you. Aunt Wang is talking."

"Cousin, are you back? Sit down quickly, I'll pour you some tea, and I'll call Second Aunt to come back."

After feeding the chickens and ducks in the backyard, Wang Xiaomin entered the house. Seeing that his cousin Tang Feng had returned, he hurriedly greeted him, washed his hands and made tea.

Tang Dai, who was silently copying the scriptures upstairs, heard the noise downstairs, and seemed to hear the voice of her elder brother, so she quickly put down her pen and went downstairs.

"Brother, are you back? It's snowing today, is the road easy?" Tang Dai stood on the stairs.

"Hey, chick. The road is okay, and the snow is not too heavy." Tang Feng looked up at his sister, whom he hadn't seen for almost a year, who looked even better, and couldn't help but spoil his eyes.

"Brother, you've grown taller again. It's 1.8 meters. Wow, I just reached your chest height. Hey, it can be seen that I'm still growing slowly." Tang Dai walked up to her elder brother and compared with him.

"Heh...you are a woman, what are you compared to me? A man should be taller." Tang Feng touched Tang Dai's head with a smile and smiled.

"Big boy, you're finally back! Mother is going to visit the village every day, looking forward to your return." Li walked in from the outside excitedly.

"Mother, I'm back!" Tang Feng walked up to Li Shi and hugged the excited Li Shi.

The three of them sat down again, and Mrs. Li happily looked at the eldest son, seeing his facial features look more and more like his father's, she was even more amazed in her heart!This child is an adult in a blink of an eye.

"Brother, what's the situation with you in the capital now? It's been two years in a blink of an eye, and rice has been promoted. Does the emperor have any further orders?"

"Yes, the emperor has announced me to enter the palace, saying that I have contributed a lot to cultivating rice, and officially granted me an official position."

"Wow! Eldest brother is now an official? What kind of official has the emperor appointed you to do? Say it, say it."

"The emperor let me into Zhanshi's mansion. In fact, this time, Feng Shizi helped me again. Before the emperor announced that I would enter the palace, Feng Shizi came to me and said that what the emperor sealed, I will accept it." , don’t delay. After entering the palace, I did as he said, and the emperor was really happy. I didn’t know what Zhanshi’s mansion was for at first, but I found out after I came out and asked.”

"Brother, what does the Zhanshi Mansion do? I thought the emperor wanted you to enter the Ministry of Agriculture under the Ministry of Industry. Why didn't you enter the Ministry of Agriculture? My plan is to let you enter the Ministry of Agriculture."

"The Zhanshi Mansion is an institution responsible for assisting the Prince. Feng Shizi didn't tell me the emperor's intentions, and I didn't dare to speculate on the holy will, so I accepted the order. Temporarily working in the Registrar's Office under the Zhanshi Mansion, the official position is From the seventh grade. The emperor said that I still have to focus on my studies in the Imperial College, next autumn, I hope I can win the exam. Only then can I serve the emperor better."

"It turns out that the emperor's order cannot be violated, so this is the only way to go. However, big brother, I want to congratulate you. After two years of hard work, I finally got what I wanted. My family will be an official family in the future, and my status will be even different. , I am Master Tang's younger sister! Haha..." Tang Dai laughed dejectedly.

"Yes, yes, my eldest child has finally come out. It's really not easy. I have to go to your father's grave tomorrow to burn incense and tell your father to make him happy. Also, wait until the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. On the day of the baby's birthday, let's hold a banquet to celebrate." When Li Shi heard this, she was also happy to wipe her tears, her family finally gave birth to an official, and he was only a little younger than the county magistrate.

"Mom, it's better not to celebrate, let's keep a low profile. When I work hard and hold the exam in the middle of next year, let's celebrate together, okay?"

"This...you child, looks like your father, and also has a personality like your father. You don't like to show off when you deal with others. What do you think, little girl? Do you want to have a banquet?"

"Mother, since my brother doesn't want to show off, then forget it. When the eldest brother wins the exam next year, let's make a good show. And, mother, don't forget, why do we make my brother work so hard to be an official?" Elder brother will turn seventeen this twelfth lunar month, and he will be eighteen next year! Sister Ning is older than her second sister. If she hadn’t lost her mother, no one would arrange a marriage for her. I guess she’s already engaged, can’t wait It's time for big brother!"

"Oh, yes, you still have a solid memory, little girl, and I forgot it when I was so happy. Big boy, what do you think? When are you going to propose marriage? Oh, I don't think there is any problem with that little girl Weiyu, and I will agree. But , Then Ning Zhifu, will you agree? Girl, my heart is beating, what if my family goes to propose a marriage and he doesn't agree? "

When Tang Feng heard that Xiao Niu and his mother were talking about his marriage with Ning Weiyu, his face blushed slightly, and then he smiled again. Isn't it because of her that he worked so hard for so long?There's nothing wrong with him as a man.

"Mother, why do I see you as more nervous than Eldest Brother? Don't worry, Uncle Ning will agree, he appreciates Eldest Brother. And Eldest Brother can be said to be in the midst of grace, so it's best to go at this time."

"That's good, that's good. Big boy, little girl, who are you going to send to propose marriage and lead this line? Isn't it good to send a matchmaker directly?!"

"Mother, I haven't thought of a suitable person at this moment, let me think about it." Tang Feng thought for a while and there was no suitable one. After all, Ning Zhifu is different from ordinary people, so he has to find someone with status.

"Mom, I think of a suitable person, but that person is not in Chang'an County now, so I have to contact him to make a decision."

"That's okay, you two think about it carefully. After you have drawn the line, we will officially send a matchmaker. Big boy, you are also tired from the journey, and you have to talk about it for a while, go upstairs to rest, and wait until dinner is ready Come on, get up and eat again."

"Good. I'm going upstairs."

After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Li prepared more than a dozen dishes, snacks, and fruits for going to the grave. Tang Feng also bought long firecrackers, prepared paper stacks of gold ingots, silver ingots, and three sticks of incense. Go to Tang Ergui's grave to announce the good news.
