Chapter 194 Greatly Appreciated

Zhang Ci was a little surprised: "There are so many poems?"

Chen Zhongyan replied to him: "Almost one song every day, sometimes a little more."

The children's works are basically in order, some are stacked one by one according to the date, some are poems in one direction, and other works are in the same direction. They are roughly divided into two stacks, making it easier to distinguish. Hua Shuli took a fancy to Fan at a glance.

The idyll of Chengdu University: The mud mirror of the new construction field is flat, and every family is plowing rice while the frost clears up; there is light thunder in the laughter and singing, and the flails ring all night until dawn.

"This is the scene of the autumn harvest, so lively." Secretary Hua showed the poem to everyone.

Tang Chaoying smiled: "As long as farmers can have a good harvest and have enough to eat, they will be very happy. I hope that the weather will be smooth and the tax revenue will be stable, so that the people can live a stable life for a few more days."

Chen Fan lowered his head and smiled lightly. People in every department spoke with obvious professional habits.

"This one is good." Secretary Hua picked up another piece of paper and started reading. "When autumn comes, I'm afraid it will rain. There will be nothing to worry about. After the rice is harvested and the work is finished, the grain will be dried, and it will be clear until it is time to enter the warehouse.

.”

Qi Yuwen nodded in agreement: "I hope the harvest will be sunny. This year's autumn harvest will go very smoothly. If there are several consecutive days of sunny weather, both the people and the crops will suffer less."

"I like this song." He Lin, the head of the Du branch, also read an idyllic poem: "We work in the fields during the day and work on hemp crops at night. The children in the village are in charge of their own families. The children and grandchildren are still working for farming and weaving, and they also learn to grow melons in the mulberry field. The common people

Diligence should also allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

"The scenery is also beautiful." He Lin's interest became more intense, "The plums are golden and the apricots are plump, and the wheat flowers, snow, and white cauliflower are sparse. No one passes by during the long day, and only dragonflies and butterflies fly. The colors are bright and the shapes are vivid. It's wonderful."

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh again. Poems that can be widely circulated are not only profound in artistic conception but also easy to understand.

Zhang Jiuyan raised a question: "These are all related to summer and autumn, why are there no spring and winter?"

Chen Ya replied: "We haven't arrived in Yuanfeng County in the spring. We just moved in on July 14th, so we learned about summer pastoral. Winter hasn't arrived yet, so we haven't learned about winter."

Everyone laughed. General Yan made trouble again: "How about you compose a song now?"

Zhang Jiuyan glanced at him: "They have only studied for three months."

Chen Ya's crisp voice sounded: "The green vegetables are green and the radish is fat, the cauliflower is golden and the leek flowers are white. Bees and butterflies are dancing all the time, and the thrush and oriole are singing."

Several officials were stunned, their lips slightly opened, and then burst into hearty laughter. Even Zhong Shuling laughed out loud.

"Not bad, not bad. It's gratifying to be able to compose such a poem at the age of six." Tang Chaoying praised loudly, and Chen Ya's big eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.

"It's just the rhythm that needs to be improved." Yan Shoulu suggested.

"Thank you for your compliments, sir, and thank you for your advice, general." Chen Ya bowed and said, "Then I will change it to golden cauliflower and leek flowers."

Everyone laughed loudly again.

"This girl is smart. If she had been born into a wealthy family, she would have been a talented woman with a great reputation." Tang Chaoying said.

Chen Ya bowed again: "Thanks to your great praise, our family is very lucky to be able to live together now. Even in Fumen, we can all become talented men and women."

This time the officials did not laugh out loud. They all pursed their lips and smiled, looking at Chen Ya with admiration and nodding.

The girls all hugged Chen Ya; Chen Zhongzhu looked at his sister and smiled like a fool; Chen Zhongyan looked at Chen Ya with warm eyes.

Chu Sheng walked in and saluted, saying that dinner was ready. Chen Fan and Zhang Ci got up and led everyone to the restaurant to sit down.

Just after dinner, Liu Huairong came over with the servants of the Liu family. Taking advantage of the daylight, Chen Fan led the officials to Suyuan to settle down.

The people on the other side of Datian have dispersed, and it is quiet. The Su Garden shows its graceful outline in the afterglow of the setting sun. People walk from west to east through the flower gallery.

"This feels so good." General Yan became naughty again, brushing the hanging branches and leaves as he walked, and jumping up from time to time to touch the highest leaves.

Chen Zhongzhu opened his eyes wide and looked at him curiously, as if thinking: "The general said I was stupid, why does he look stupider than me?"

Chen Zhongyan saw it and patted his arm. Chen Zhongzhu retracted his surprised expression and continued to admire the general's strong figure with a warm expression.

"These grasses are growing really well. I'm going to run twice tomorrow." Yan Shoulu said. The children responded in unison: "Let's run together."

To the east of the field is a canal. The water surface is two or three meters wide. There are several rows of trees planted on the wide slopes beside the canal. The closest to the water surface are willows. The branches are still green and soft, gently waving on the water surface in the evening breeze. .A little further away is a peach tree, a little further away is a crabapple tree, and there are all kinds of flowers blooming on the slope.

The cows, sheep, chickens and ducks have not yet returned home, grazing leisurely on the slopes, or splashing in the water. The officials stopped and watched for several minutes, enjoying the leisurely time.

"No wonder the slope has to be so wide. It turns out to facilitate the movement of livestock." Qi Yuwen said thoughtfully.

"It's also convenient for everyone to take a walk." He Lin added.

Everyone continued walking eastward and stopped at the edge of a large pond on the east side of the canal. The pond was five acres in size, with a wide water surface and shimmering waves. The bank of the pond was winding, and there were several paths extending toward the water, either high, low, or wide. Or narrow, the water surface near the shore is divided into several parts of different sizes and shapes. There is a small island in the pool, connected with a small semicircular bridge and a path, named Twenty-Four Bridge.

"The name Twenty-Four Bridge is very beautiful." Zhong Shuling liked it very much.

"No wonder there are so many people here. The more I look at the scenery, the more beautiful it becomes." Tang Chaoying said.

"You bought land but built a garden and built a house. Aren't you afraid that the harvest would be too low to pay the land tax?" Yan Shoulu always asked profound questions.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "This was originally a heavily saline-alkali land with no grass growing on it. It was meant to be irrigated with water and drained of salt. These ditches and ponds were dug for drainage, and many flowers and trees were planted to improve the soil. Those houses in the north were built to facilitate the resettlement of people. This Su Garden is for entertaining guests, and today is the first time that Su Garden welcomes distinguished guests."

To the east of the pond is a green space with two paths leading to the gate of the garden. There are various chrysanthemums on both sides of the path, and the maple leaves are red on the green ground.

While walking around, the Liu family's servants had already decorated the room, including brand new toiletries and bedding. As the sky grew dark, the officials no longer carefully admired the scenery in the garden, but casually walked into the small room. Then go back to the house to wash up and rest. Eight maids and guards from Zhongshu Ling are responsible for the security of the garden.

General Yan jumped onto the roof.
