The family had a reunion festival in the town. On the 16th day of August, the old man took his family back to the mountain. Wenxuan and Wenchang both returned to the school to study, but Wenhan had nothing to do for the time being, and there was still some time to go to the county school, so he followed him back to the mountain. People had already arrived at the venue. Today was the day to get a bait, so of course it was time to get up early.

The Xu family also started Bangcui today. As soon as Zhixin came back, he took the male laborers from his family to the Gantian field. Now that the family has enough staff, the children in the family can actually not interfere. However, the children of the Xu family never have to work and stay idle. Besides, this Bangcui is the biggest gain in the year, so how could the children miss it? So Xue and Zhu were left to guard the family, and the rest of the people went to the Gantian field, and even Mingyu followed them.

When Mingyu saw the fat and fat ginseng being dug out of the soil, he was shocked. "Oh, Sister Jinghan, is this ginseng? It's so cute, fat and fat, really like a little baby." Mingyu held a ginseng weighing about three taels in his hand, and was fiddling with it very strangely.

Jingxian saw Mingyu's appearance and said incomprehensiblely, "Brother Mingyu, don't be so fussy? Look at this large area of ​​ginseng, which is full of ginseng. Do you have to hold that ginseng until it gets dark?" She forgot that she has been used to seeing it since she was a child, and Mingyu is a child who has never seen crops before, let alone ginseng growing in the field.

Mingyu smiled a little embarrassedly, holding the ginseng but couldn't bear to put it down. "Then where will I put it?"

Jingxian pointed to the sack in front, "Just put it in there, it will be a lot of them out in a while, can you still hold them all in your hand?"

Mingyu was a little reluctant to put the ginseng in the sack, and then picked ginseng out of the soil with everyone. He was wearing Wenchang's old clothes. He couldn't wear good-material clothes when doing farm work. Seeing everyone kneeling on the ground, Mingyu also learned to kneel on the soil, and then asked the reason.

Jingxian told Mingyu about the various hardships of this kind of ginseng. He had to kneel down when he worked with ginseng all year round. When Mingyu heard this, he realized that ginseng farmers were so hard that they could get the white and fat ginseng. Later, Jingxian also talked about the imperial court's exploitation of ginseng farmers, and Mingyu was a little angry. "Damn it, this is too harsh, right? Just a little ginseng soil, you have to hand over so many ginseng. Ginseng farmers worked hard for three years, but they had to hand over nearly 30% of ginseng. Will this make people live?"

Jinghan over there heard these two small conversations and couldn't help laughing, then said, "Mingyu, we can't say anything about the court, so don't say that in the future. This year, we bought the land by ourselves, so we don't have to hand it over. However, we have to be careful. No one has done this before. If the bad guys know it, it might be a problem. Who knows if we will make any special laws against us in the future?"

After hearing this, the two young men stopped talking about anything else and lowered their heads to pick up ginseng.

The Xu family has 45 meters of goods this year, and there is no need to hand it over, so they can get a stick of more than 800 kilograms. In the afternoon, looking at the nine sacks filled with the ground, everyone's hearts were sweeter than honey.

The old man looked at these sticks and felt so beautiful, "I didn't expect that when I got old, not only did I buy some land at home, but I can also get these older sticks. I never dreamed of this in my life. Oh, isn't there more and more goods in the future? This is a good day." The old man has been farming and planting sticks all his life. In his heart, nothing can compare to this reality.

The people in the yamen have long been guarding the gate of the sect. They have a notebook in their hands, which says how many sects should be handed over each household this year. The villagers had to hand over the sect according to the requirements before leaving the sect. To be honest, every person who handed over the sect will inevitably curse. This is the hard work of the sect farmers. Just handed over it like this, who can not feel sorry for him?

When the villagers almost finished handing over, the heads of the servants asked, "Where is the Xu family? Why didn't the Xu family come to hand over the baton this year?"

Village Chief Zhou was standing next to him and quickly said, "My cousin, the Xu family did not want ginseng soil this year, so there is no need to call Bangmao upwards."

The man glared, "Why don't you want to ginseng? His family is watching the ginseng venue well and planting a hammer. Isn't it good? Why don't you ginsengseng?"

Xu's family is not far away, so they come here quickly. Zhixin and Zhiming, of course, Wen Han is indispensable. Wen Han blocked his father and bowed to the servant, "Brother, our family will not be able to participate in the soil this year. This participation venue will have to be changed from this year. Our family will have to watch it for another two years. The family is not enough staff, and it is too far away from there, so I don't want to ask for it anymore. I wonder if there is anything else to ask for by Brother?"

When the officer saw that Wen Han was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing very worn clothes, he said contemptuously, "When you go there, let your adults say."

Wenhan didn't move, smiled and said, "Brother, I am the eldest grandson of the Xu family. I can do these things. You can tell me if you have something to do."

The officer was a little anxious and said something bad, "You little boy, I told you to ask your adults to come, didn't you hear it? Get out of here and be careful that I kick you into the ditch."

Wen Han's face changed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard someone beside him say, "If you have the courage, just kick it. We will go to the county government to beat the drum and complain. The dignified scholar, let alone talk to you, you don't have to kneel down even when you meet the magistrate. Otherwise, we will go to the magistrate to judge?"

When everyone turned around, they saw that Jinghan and the others had come. Jinghan looked at the officer and smiled contemptuously, "Brother, you have the reputation of a scholar, what's wrong? Then when **** came back from the capital city, did he go to the county government office? Why would there be such a blind eye-opening thing that doesn't know you?"

A servant next to him recognized Wen Han now and quickly went to the person in the lead and said a few words. After hearing this, the leader changed his face and quickly came to Wen Han with a smile on his face. "Little eyes are clumsy, but he didn't recognize it as Xu Xiucai. Please forgive Xiao's bad eyes. Xiao should die, Xiao accepts punishment."

In fact, a scholar does not have much power. At most, he doesn't have to do labor service and can not kneel down when he sees the official, and there is nothing else. However, when Wen Han and his friends went to visit the magistrate, there was someone who was familiar with the Lu family sitting next to him, so the magistrate knew the relationship between the Xu family and the Lu family. By chance, the servant happened to be serving him that day, so he knew more. He just now told the matter to the leader. When the leader heard this, it was amazing. Can ordinary people afford to be provoked by the Lu family?

Wen Han never thought about what to do with his identity as a scholar. Although he saw the person in front of him, his face was not revealed. "What did you say, Brother Chou said? You just want to ask the matter clearly. But Brother Chou must pay attention in the future. If you take a look at him one day and mess with someone you shouldn't mess with, then you don't know what will happen."

The servant kept saying yes and kept reparing. Wen Han waved his hand, "I'm tired enough this day. Now all the ginseng has been collected. Hurry up and go back to the yamen. If there are so many ginsengs, I think I can't afford it, right?" Wen Han's tone was a little cold. He was really impatient to deal with such people.

When the officer heard this, he quickly said goodbye to Wenhan, then he organized all the carriages with everyone, and drove them away.

When these people left, Jingxian snorted at their backs, and then everyone went back to the house. There were nine large sacks in the house. If the sacks were full, they should be able to hold more than 90 kilograms of hammers. This was the first time that the Xu family had a great harvest.

"Grandpa, in order to get more soil, we had to hand over so many more sticks. Now we have been suffering and joy. In the future, there will be more sticks in our family, and then grandpa will be so happy that we can't sleep." Jinghan ran to the old man and said with a smile.

"That's right? I didn't think that our family would have this day. Well, I can still keep my eyes closed even if I die. The ancestors of the Xu family, Xu Chengkuan, are right to you." The old man was filled with emotion for a while. The ancestors of the Xu family have been planting ginseng for generations, but no one can grow so many ginseng. This is the pride of a ginseng farmer.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? What can you never die? You are going to live a long life, watching your grandson get married and have children, and then watch your great-grandson grow up. Our family will get better and better in the future, so grandpa will just wait and enjoy your happiness." Wenhan came to the old man and described a bright future to the old man.

"Okay, okay, grandpa must live well. Let's see you all start families and start businesses, and grandpa still has to hold a good grandson." The old man imagined the beautiful scene of four generations living together in the future with joyful face.

Xue and the others had already prepared all the meals, and now they set up all the food and greeted everyone for dinner. "I'm tired for a day, so I'll come to eat quickly and make goods tomorrow. With so many sticks, we'll have to work hard for several days. We'll finish eating soon, and we'll rest."

Everyone was indeed exhausted, and they finished their meals voraciously, and then they went to rest.
