Dear readers, I'm really sorry about Chapter 334 because I worked on it last night.
I originally planned to upload the text in a while, but I fell asleep and forgot about it in the rush to go to work in the morning.
Then it seemed that the channel was blocked, even if I uploaded it after I came back in the evening.
It's useless to find the exact chapter, but you should be able to contact the editor to solve it.
Please wait a day for the editor to handle it.
I'm really sorry.
Chapter 335 Marriage Grant It was already the 13th day of the twelfth lunar month when Yang Ming received the imperial edict.
Huizhou is also more lively at this time.
Three months have allowed almost all Huizhou people to have some extra money in their hands, so fathers, daughters and the elderly all appeared in the street markets with smiles to prepare New Year's goods.
There are still seventeen days until New Year's Eve In previous years, there would not be such enough money to buy new year's goods.
Having two kilograms of meat and a few kilograms of brown rice is already heaven.
But now, there are many people who can cut two kilograms of meat, and many people even cut ten kilograms at a time.
"Yang Ming, you have done something big again.
Do you know that the reason why I was willing to follow you to Huizhou was actually to feel the admiration of all people again?
Only at that time, I felt that eighteen years as an official was not enough.
It's not in vain."
Liu Yi and Yang Ming appeared at a market in Huidong County with some emotion.
Although he didn't know any of them, looking at the smiles on their faces, he felt that his This official job was not in vain.
It has even been a long time since he mentioned that he wanted to return to the capital and become a censor.
In Liu Yi's view, being in the local area, benefiting a local area, and feeding and clothing the ants is his greatest happiness as an official.
"This is also a big deal."
Yang Ming smiled.
He was embarrassed to accept Liu Yi's praise.
It was just a full meal.
It was not a big deal at all.
A few kilograms of pork, ten kilograms of Ming Dynasty, if this can be considered happiness, then in the future generations What kind of concept is life?
"If this is not a big deal, what kind of thing do you think would be a big deal?"
Liu Yi touched his beard that had turned gray.
Over the past year or so, both his hair and beard have rapidly turned from black to gray at a visible speed, and his whole body has become more haggard due to the gradual increase in official duties, but he is still enjoying it, and even feels that such busyness is A kind of happiness.
So much so that his old wife went to Li Yanran and complained several times, hoping that Yang Ming would use the authority of the palace to warn Liu Yi, the so-called general judge, to let him rest early every day.
But, can Yang Ming persuade Liu Yi?
The result is naturally no.
He was even ordered to do something by Liu Yi every time before he even opened his mouth, and in the end it was ignored.
"According to my opinion, it must be rice every day and at least one meat meal a day, with little education, old friends to rely on, and strong people with work to do.
Maybe that can be considered as doing something.
"Yeah."
Yang Ming was looking at a grandson who was following his grandfather to cut a piece of pork and go home.
The grandson couldn't help but look at the large piece of pork in his grandfather's hand, with a smile on his little face.
The same was true for his grandfather.
The heavy feeling in his hand made him feel that he really hoped that this kind of life would never end.
"Grandpa, does this meat belong to our family?"
The boy swallowed his saliva and asked the old man.
In his little memory, his family had never bought so much meat, which made him look like he couldn't believe it.
"Of course it's all meat from our family.
Let's cut some of it first today to make you a meat meal to satisfy your cravings.

The rest will be cut into slices and eaten until the Chinese New Year.
Then we will put it in every stir-fry meal.
If you eat just a few slices, we will eat meat every day."
Looking at his grandfather and grandson walking away, Liu Yi once again showed a smile on his face.
In his opinion, such a life is already a manifestation of wealth.
There is meat to eat during the holidays, and he can have some on weekdays.
A life of meat and fish is already a bad thing.
But
He didn't realize that the smile on Yang Ming's face next to him was a bitter smile.
Five or six kilograms of meat are needed to celebrate the New Year, to give teeth to the grandson as a gift, and even to save them for cooking later.
Yang Ming felt a little sad.
He felt that life should not be like this.
But why do those people have happy smiles on their faces?
Are they too greedy, or are these people easily satisfied, or is true happiness just a hope within hope, or are they so numb that a little sweetness makes them feel like they are in heaven.
In his definition, life is not like this at all.
"Yang Ming, why are you doing this?"
At this time, Liu Yi also noticed the bitter smile on Yang Ming's face, so she hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing."
Yang Ming turned his head and said, "I just think these people's ideas are too simple.
Just a few kilograms of meat makes them happy.
What do you think they would be like if I let them eat meat every day?
" "Eat meat hahahaha."
Liu Yi laughed until she couldn't stand up straight from her back.
Then she looked at Yang Ming with tears in her eyes and said seriously: "Do you think such a day will really happen?"
"You two are going crazy if you eat meat every day.
If you eat it every day, you will be poor even if you don't have gold and silver."
The old man, who thought he had cut the meat and was about to go home, walked by and couldn't help hearing the conversation between the two.
Make sarcastic remarks.
Eating meat every day is definitely an extremely prodigal behavior in his opinion, and the old man and the young man in front of him are such prodigals in his eyes.
Although the clothes of these two people look good, are there any people who are so prodigal?
So he felt that as a person who had suffered enough, he was qualified to teach the two of them a lesson.
Don't know what is going on after just a few full meals.
"Don't you think it's unrealistic to eat meat every day?"
Yang Ming smiled and looked at the old man in front of him.
He was already in his sixties.
Especially in Guangdong, living to the age of fifty can be called longevity.
Generally speaking, it is good for most people to live to the prime of life.
There are many people who have just reached adulthood and are buried in the sea.
Therefore, this old man in his sixties is definitely a long-lived person.
"Little boy, your accent shouldn't be from Cantonese."
When the old man saw Yang Ming saluting him, he felt that this junior also knew etiquette and respected him enough, so his voice changed slightly, without the meaning of the lesson just now.
We are just young people.
After we have suffered too much, we will realize that our material resources are difficult and that this meal is not easy to come by.
"My father-in-law has good eyesight.
I am from Sichuan.

I just came to Guangdong not long ago," Yang Ming said with an apologetic smile.
"Yes."
The old man showed a true look, and then said: "Sichuan, the land of abundance.
Since you were born in Shu, you naturally have no worries about food and drink.
Although we face the sea, we don't have the same blessings as you."
Shuzhong is called the land of abundance, and there is a reason for it.
The Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project is world-famous, and the benefits it has brought to the people in Sichuan cannot be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.
With the Qinling Mountains at its back to protect it from wind and sand, and the basin's pleasant climate and smooth water conservancy, Sichuan can be said to be one of the most suitable places for growing food.
This is the origin of the Land of Abundance.
Obviously, this old man has lived long enough, so he naturally knows more things than the younger generation.
There is already a look of yearning in his old eyes for the days of plain rice in Shuzhong.
But he didn't know that even in Shu, it was impossible to have a meal of white rice.
As the saying goes, there are beggars in the richest places.
In fact, the common people in Shu just had enough food and clothing.
But even so, for them, It is also a kind of good life that I never dare to ask for.
"This is still the shadow of the sages, otherwise how could we and the younger generations be so blessed?"
Yang Ming was humble.
He was really sincere about the achievements of Li Bing and his son.
The achievements of these two people made the entire Shuzhong Being able to have enough to eat alone is enough to rival any sage.
"It turns out that he is still a scholar, no wonder."
Hearing Yang Ming's words, there was a strong scholarly flavor in the lines, and a smile appeared on his old face.
Scholars are an unattainable figure for any common people.
In their hearts, the existence of scholars has been mythical since Master Yang Ming and Yang came.
Being able to change the entire Guangdong by himself, he will not miss Li Bing who is far away in Shu.
Instead, Yang Ming in Guangdong is their hope.
He even thinks that Yang Ming is the Li Bing of Guangdong because Yang Ming has brought them Hope it will bring them a good harvest.
But he didn't know that Yang Ming, who he always thought was in his fifties or sixties, would actually appear in front of him, and he was still a young man under twenty years old.
"Haha, I've only read a few books for a few days."
Yang Ming was rarely humble.
He could see that the old man's respect for scholars came from the bottom of his heart.
You couldn't pretend to feel that way, so he immediately said: "Come to Guangdong for a little while."
It’s a child’s business, I don’t know if my husband is going home to cut this meat, it must be for the New Year.”
Speaking of meat, the smile on Lao Khan's face became even stronger.
This is the first time in more than sixty years that he has cut so much meat and brought it home.
Even when he got married, he didn't have so much meat to show off, and this eight pounds of fat meat was just for the New Year at home this year.
He had even thought about how to deal with this piece of meat, marinating it with salt.
Half, and the rest is used every day.
The eldest and second eldest children in the family are really working hard during this time.
Sweeping salt in the salt fields every day is not a physical job, but it is really tiring to bend down and arch their backs, but it is all.
Worth it.
Unlike fishing, where you have to worry about going out early and coming back late, sweeping the floor can bring back enough money from home every month.
This kind of good thing he never dared to think about before.
Looking at the two people in front of him, the old man seemed to have other thoughts.
"Since you two are scholars, the old man has a gracious request."
The old man was a little embarrassed.

After all, he had just taught him a lesson.
Although it was an unintentional mistake, he couldn't say what he wanted now.
"I might as well say it straight," Liu Yi said, trying to smooth things over.
"The old man wants to invite you two to have a simple meal at the humble house."
After thinking about it, the old man gritted his teeth and said his request: "The eldest grandson of the family is getting married.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month after the new year, the old man saw , it is a good day, so I would like to ask you two to help write some festive couplets and the big red word "happy" Getting married means having a close relationship.
The front door, side door, side door, and body door all need to be pasted with a couplet.
This is not only a congratulation to the new couple, but also a spiritual sustenance.
For ordinary people, writing a couplet is something that can only be done during the Chinese New Year, because the price of paper is not low, let alone red paper, and it requires help from someone who can read and write.
Such consumption is simply not within the reach of ordinary people.
Only during holidays, when some poor scholars write couplets in large quantities at low prices, can they buy a pair to decorate their appearance.
But now he met Yang Ming and Liu Yi, so the old man had the idea of asking them to write a wedding couplet for his grandson.
It was just a meal.
Although he felt that he was a little unfair to them, but looking at the clothes of the two of them, he might not think so.
Do you mind?
Just as he was thinking this, unexpectedly Liu Yi had already agreed.
"It's just a wedding couplet, it's all on me."
Liu Yi really wanted to visit the old man's house.
This seemed to have an invisible attraction for him.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the emperor paid a private visit incognito.
Now he and Yang Ming should also do the same.
It counts as a private visit, right?
He still has some confidence in his handwriting.
As a veteran who has been writing for decades, his calligraphy is very good, at least he is famous in the capital.
If he hadn't offended too many people, people who asked for his writing would even use his writing.
The threshold is broken.
Now that Liu Yi has agreed, Yang Ming feels that he can go for a walk.
Li Hongxiu's incident had made him a little dizzy these past two days.
He didn't know why he wanted to get married to that girl in a daze.
The most important thing is that Li Yanran didn't seem to be hiding anything.
Seeing him happily preparing to marry him made him a little angry.
This woman must have lost her mind.
She was speechless that her man could be so happy about getting married.
Seeing that the two scholars agreed to his request, the old man's face showed a smile that he had never seen before.
How much face did the two scholars write for their grandsons, and they were specially written.
This undoubtedly made him feel very proud, so he led Liu Yi and Yang Ming towards home.
When the old man visited Liu, his home was actually less than three miles away from Huidong County.
If he walked a little further ahead, he would reach the seaside.
The three people soon arrived in front of Old Han Liu's house.
This is a typical Cantonese house.
The walls are made of loess and some stones.
His family owns a row of four rooms and a kitchen.
"Master, I'm back."
I heard the noise outside, and an old woman with gray hair walked out of the house.
Although she was thin, she was quite energetic.

She was wearing an apron.
When she went out, she looked at Old Man Liu and there were two people behind him.
A stranger came towards me and couldn't help but asked quickly: "Who are these two people?"
"Why don't you go get two bowls of sugar water?
These two are the reading husbands I specially invited to write a happy couplet for our Haiqing."
Old man Liu asked his old wife to prepare sugar water for Yang Ming and Liu Yi while greeting them. : "You two please" With four main rooms, he is considered a well-off family in this generation.
It can be seen that the old man is very satisfied with his home.
After the two of them sat on the stools in the main room, he went out. s: Today’s chapter sends a cigarette butt to the new book The World of Martial Arts, which has been signed.
