Chapter 007: You're going to turn white


When Steward Wang heard Zhang Shisan's words, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Thirteen Lang, look at what you said, how dare I."

Tomorrow morning, you go to the bottom of the mountain to take a look, and the people who work here are all strong farmers who are very good. ” "Where did that man come from?"

"It's not a secret, the population in our village is indeed limited, but not long ago, the imperial court just moved dozens of families from Huaixi to settle in us, so there are naturally enough people."

As soon as they heard that it was a newly relocated immigrant, Xia Xun and Zhang Shisan suddenly realized.

From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, in the past 30 years, the imperial court has successively emigrated to Shandong from Shanxi, Hebei, Anhui, Jiangsu, Sichuan and other places more than ten times.

No way, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters continued, Shandong was the hardest hit area, and when Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition expelled the Northern Yuan, Shandong was the main battlefield, and the natural disasters caused the local population to drop sharply, and a large amount of land was barren.

After Zhu Yuanzhang opened the country, he wanted to quickly change the population depression in Shandong with an immigration policy, but the Han people were most obsessed with their homeland, the old ones paid attention to the fallen leaves and returned to their roots, and the young ones paid attention to their parents who were not far away, and it was difficult for them to move to the sky, they would rather beg for food in their hometowns than leave their hometowns, and Emperor Zhu had no choice but to force immigrants, so he insisted on this immigration policy.

Qingzhou is not a key resettlement area for immigrants, but there are a lot of foreign population, now it is summer, at this time the immigrants have missed the solar term, although the field is divided, at least this year there is nothing to plant, Xia Xun's quarry, to provide them with an opportunity to work to make money to supplement the family, virtually helped the government a lot, is conducive to the stability of immigrants.

Of course, when spring begins tomorrow, there will still be many people who quit their jobs and go home to farm, and no matter how much they earn from part-time work, it is not as good as their own three acres of land.

However, by that time, this quarry may not need so many people, and there are not many people like Qi Wangfu who need a large amount of stone at once.

Xia Xun chatted with these foremen for a while, Zhang Shisan gave Xia Xun a look, stood up and said: "Okay, Childe is very tired all the way, you all go back, Childe will live here for ten days and a half this time, rest and recuperate, escape the heat, what about you, sell more strength, work hard, Childe will naturally not shorten your benefits." ” After they withdrew, Xia Xun jumped up from his seat and said excitedly: "Thirteen Lang, I have hidden it from them, but no one has seen my flaws."

Zhang Shisan poured a basin of cold water on his head: "Don't be happy too early, these people have only seen Yang Xu once, if even they can see the flaws, what use do you have to rest earlier, get up and start training on the fifth watch." ” "Squeak", the door opened and reunited, Zhang Shisan went out, Xia Xun smiled slightly, like a flower.

On the fifth watch, the sky was not clear, and Zhang Shisan appeared at the head of Xia Xun's bed like a ghost.

So he brushed his teeth and washed his face, combed his hair and changed his clothes, and then left the quarry with Zhang Shisan, and went to the barren grassland under the unloading stone mountain to practice equestrianism in the morning light.

At two o'clock, they came back, because Xia Xun, who had not yet mastered the technical essentials of equestrianism, was so tired that his back hurt and his whole body was sweating.

In the courtyard, several stewards who lived in the quarry had sent their mother-in-law to make breakfast for the owner, and the smell of food came to the nostrils.

The country woman can't cook exquisite dishes, but at least the portion is enough, the boiled golden millet porridge, the steaming white flour bun, and the fragrant scrambled eggs are all in pots, and there are six big men living in the yard, all of whom are very old with a large amount of food.

Xia Xun was not busy eating, but went to the backyard and began to bathe, sweating profusely and feeling uncomfortable.

The people in the courtyard knew the rules, and no one dared to trespass without the permission of the summons.

There are two large water tanks in the backyard, just under the corridor, almost every household has such water tanks at that time, one is convenient to get water, and the other is that once a fire occurs, it can be extinguished with water nearby.

Xia Xun stood by the water tank, wearing only a pair of calf-nosed pants, and watering his body with a large wooden basin.

A basin of water was poured, the droplets splashed lively, the wheat-colored skin sparkled in the sun, his body was toned, his waist was thin, his curves were smooth, his muscular arms, strong pectoral muscles and six-pack abs all showed the masculine beauty of a man.

Zhang Shisan stood under the dripping eaves with his arms crossed, his eyes roaming over Xia Xun's body, and his always critical eyes showed a rare hint of appreciation: "I can't see that your body is so strong."

Well, that's pretty good."

Xia Xun's body was actually not so strong, after coming to this era, he knew that he had nothing to worry about, but paid more attention to physical exercise than before, modern fitness methods, plus with Hu Liujiu learning martial arts, practicing the surname Shui, the amount of exercise was ten times stronger than when he was in the police academy before, although he had a very hard time in Xiaoyeer Village, but Xiaoyeer Village is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is fishing and catching frogs as a business, small fish and shrimp, yellow frogs and other things are enough to eat, and the nutrition can keep up, and now his figure is extremely good.

Xia Xun said proudly: "The countryside is hard, and I do all kinds of work, so my body is as strong as a cow, not to brag with you Thirteen Lang, I wear less clothes when fishing, and the big girl and little daughter-in-law have beaten me, I can't help but look at it secretly, and my eyes are shining." ” Zhang Shisan scolded with a smile: "It's really gasping to say that you are fat, hurry up and take a bath, then eat, and after the meal, I will start to explain to you about Yang Wenxuan." ” "Yes, yes," Xia Xun also smiled, and another basin of water was poured over his head.

In the morning, under the big tree in the backyard, Zhang Shisan explained everything about Yang Wenxuan to Xia Xun in detail, there was a low table in the courtyard, there was tea on a few days, and there was paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and from time to time Zhang Shisan had to spread out the paper, and draw a portrait with a pen, so that Xia Xun could carefully remember the appearance of the person he painted.

Those who can be identified by portraits are naturally those who are close to Yang Wenxuan, including the close stewards of Yang's mansion, subordinates, friends, business partners, and dignitaries in the palace of King Qi.

When they were tired of studying, the two stood up and imitated Yang Wenxuan's speech and demeanor, facial expressions, and common expressions under the guidance of Zhang Shisan.

As an excellent brocade secret spy, Zhang Shisan is a competent teacher, and Xia Xun's ability to accept imitation is also very strong, whether things can succeed is life-threatening for Zhang Shisan, and it is even more significant for Xia Xun, so the two of them are very serious about teaching and learning, just in order not to arouse Zhang Shisan's suspicion, Xia Xun did not show too high a surname at first, and it was not until two days later that he gradually entered the role.

"Something happened, something happened, someone was crushed by a rolling stone" When there was an exclamation in the distance, Steward Wang ran into the courtyard with a shout, and said to Xia Xun, who was driven out of the backyard after hearing the news.

"How many people have been injured," Xia Xun and Zhang Shisan asked as they walked out with Steward Wang.

Steward Wang said while walking, it turned out that the workers were quarrying on the hillside, and the sledgehammer in the hand of one of the workers did not hit the steel drill, but smashed into the hands of the workers who supported the drill, and the two were one of the newly relocated immigrants, who had not worked for a few days, and they were also unskilled, so there was this disaster.

The worker's injury to the palm of one hand was quite serious, and he couldn't do the work for a while, and he couldn't say that he had to take some money to heal his wounds.

When Xia Xun rushed to see, the man's fellow villagers had already helped the injured man named Ma Zhiyuan down the hillside to do a simple bandage, Xia Xun reassured him with kind words, asked the Wang steward to pay him an extra month's wages, and asked his fellow villagers to send him home to recuperate first, and at the same time instructed to go down, the newly recruited workers are not familiar with quarrying, and told them to start with the handling and post-processing of the stone.

Seeing that the owner was so kind, the workers were grateful, and after thanking him for a thousand thanks, the worker who smashed and injured his partner received the salary for Ma Zhiyuan, and accompanied the man back to the village with another fellow villager.

"Fourth Brother Ma, I'm really sorry, it's my brother who was careless," the man who caused the trouble said apologetically.

"Hey, they're all brothers in the family, what are you doing here, you didn't mean it."

The injured man endured the pain, patted him on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly, then turned his head and asked another person: "Where has the head of the sect been moved, can you inquire?"

Another man shook his head and said: "Not yet, after we were moved into Shandong, we were divided into various prefectures and counties, and I can't find out where the Tang Zhangjiao family is now." ” Fourth Brother Ma sighed and said: "If you can't find the master, I'm afraid that our brothers in this altar will be scattered, just right, taking advantage of the opportunity to recuperate at home with an injured palm, I will go out and inquire about the whereabouts of the master."

Inside the house" The two men said in unison: "Fourth brother, don't worry, we will take care of it at home." ” Xia Xun and Zhang Shisan didn't know about this little story that happened in their own quarry, and their minds were focused on how to enter the role of Yang Xu as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of that day, there was a sudden rainstorm, and the sky and the earth were vast.

Standing in the hall and looking out, the rain under the dripping eaves was as dense as a bead curtain, and even ten steps away from the hall could not be seen clearly, the workers went to the cliff cave to hide from the rain, Xia Xun and Zhang Shisan also moved into the hall from the backyard and continued to imitate Yang Xu.

Xia Xun's dress and even hairstyle at this time are exactly the same as the real Yang Xu, and even his mannerisms, movements, accent and tone are imitated in a subtle way.

Originally, accent and language are the most difficult places to pretend to be a person outside of appearance, because there are some inappropriate manners and demeanor to cover up the past, you can say that you have been in bad health and mood recently, you can find a bunch of reasons for your different performance from the past, but you are obviously a rough voice, it is impossible to become a thin voice because of a fall, or you obviously speak a Hokkien dialect, and after two days of fever, you will become a Shandong dialect, who believes it Fortunately, Xia Xun looks similar to Yang Xu in addition to his voice, although Zhang Shisan doesn't know ventriloquism, he can't learn Yang Xu to speak vividly, but he can guide him, after many adjustments and imitations, in terms of voice, it is already very similar, if you only listen to his voice, people who are particularly familiar with it may be a little unfamiliar, but if you see his appearance first, it will be difficult to find flaws.

As for the language, Yang Wenxuan and Yang Gongzi are not speaking in Shandongfang dialect, but in Fengyang official dialect, which is the most popular today.

The official dialect is the official Mandarin, and ordinary people naturally have an indifferent attitude towards the official dialect, what dialects their ancestors have spoken for generations, and what dialects their children and grandchildren also speak, and they don't care whether the foreigners can understand the southern and northern dialects, and most of them will never leave their homes ten miles away in their lives.

But if you want to be an official, you must be able to speak Mandarin, otherwise even if you are admitted to the Jinshi, due to the language barrier, there is absolutely no possibility of being released as an official.

Xia Xun was originally a person from the Jianghuai area, with the foundation of Fengyang dialect, he shouted on the street, "I drop a child, the back of the lamp is off, the black nose shines on the eyes, hurry up and go cover", the words are correct and round, and immediately Fengyang people have to come forward to recognize the villagers.

Although the Fengyang dialect at this time was slightly different from a few hundred years later, he had already lived in the Jiangnan area where Fengyang's official dialect was most popular for a year, so there was no problem.

Zhang Shisan is very pleased, Xia Xun's accent is no problem, there is no language problem, there is no problem with dress, and there is no problem with manners, as long as he can officially enter Yang Xu's life circle, he can also be as calm as he is now, then what is the problem A satisfied smile slowly bloomed on Zhang Shisan's face, but as soon as the smile unfolded, he found an important problem that he had been ignoring all along, and his face was difficult to look at.

He saw this problem when he first met Xia Xun, and at that time he almost thought that Yang Wenxuan had really come back from the dead, and it was because of this obvious difference that he began to notice more differences between the two.

This obvious difference is Xia Xun's skin, Xia Xun often works in the sun with his chest and shirtless, and his skin is much darker than that of Young Master Yang, who has always been pampered, this problem was originally the most obvious, but because it was too obvious, it could be seen every day, but it became black under the lamp, and he ignored it.

Xia Xun suddenly noticed that Zhang Shisan's expression was different, and immediately stopped his movements, and humbly asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhang Shisan frowned and said, "Skin, your complexion is darker than Yang Xu's." ” Xia Xun thought for a while and said, "What if it is said that I have been running around outside for more than ten days and have been exposed to the sun."

Zhang Shisan shook his head and said: "This is a reason, but after only ten days of exposure, it is impossible for the skin to reach this level, some of it is too obvious, if your skin can be whiter and more delicate, this reason can prevaricate the past."

Xia Xun's face was also difficult to look at: "Then what should I do?"

Zhang Shisan pondered for a long time, suddenly slapped his forehead, ran to the back of the table and spread out a blank piece of paper, picked up the pen and studied the ink and hurriedly wrote, Xia Xun curiously went over to take a look, but saw that Zhang Shisan was not drawing, but writing, Xia Xun is now pretending to be an illiterate blind eye, although he wants to know what Zhang Shisan is writing, but it is not good to continue to read, so he has to go aside and wait.

Zhang 13 finished writing the letter, then went to the corridor and called loudly, a moment of effort, a nursing home living in the wing room hurriedly walked along the porch, Zhang 13 handed the letter to him, instructed: "This is a letter from the son to An's Silk Village, you immediately rush back to Qingzhou, hand it over to Anyuanwai, take the reply letter from Anyuanwai and then come back, and there is no delay along the way." ” The guard glanced at Xia Xun, Xia Xun nodded, the guard immediately put the letter into his arms, turned around and left, and after a while, he put on his robe, put on a bamboo hat, led the horse to prepare the saddle, and hurried on the road in the pouring rain
