The most arrogant in history

Chapter 675: Are you itching for trouble?

Ye Kun stared, and suddenly shouted: "Xue Dagui, listen to my command, stand at attention!"

Old Xue was startled and immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Here!"

Ye Kun and Lao Xue stood side by side and shouted, "Turn left and march in step... One, one, two, one, one, one, two, one!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Lao Xue limped out of the gate side by side with Ye Kun with firm steps.

Looking at Lao Xue's funny appearance, everyone wanted to laugh, but also wanted to cry.

After going out, Ye Kun took Lao Xue and got on his carriage.

Guo Ping accompanied the emperor and brought some wine and food with him.

Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan called a few maids and brought two carriages filled with small gifts.

Old Xue's family lives outside the city, in a small village with only seven or eight households.

But the scenery is nice, with green mountains, clear waters, crisscrossing fields, and the sounds of chickens and dogs.

Thousands of acres of fertile fields are all covered with rice, which is already more than a foot high and undulating with green waves.

It was just before lunch and smoke was rising from the village.

After entering the village, Lao Xue got out of the car to lead the way.

Ye Kun also got out of the car and said with a smile: "Old Xue, slow down. Why are you running so fast with a limp? This is not a charge into battle!"

Old Xue turned around and smiled, "The emperor is visiting my doghouse, so of course I have to run with my good legs in front!"

"You old thing, you are still so talkative!"

Ye Kun was overjoyed.

Guo Ping shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile:

"Old Xue, since the emperor is the guest, you shouldn't speak so vulgarly. If you call it a doghouse, isn't that blaspheming the emperor? I tell you, from now on, your place is a golden nest."

It doesn't matter if you live in a doghouse by yourself.

But if the emperor were to go as a guest, wouldn’t that be like entering a doghouse?

Ye Kun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Old Xue is just like that. He is a stubborn mule that sells for the price of a donkey. He just has a bad mouth."

Old Xue finally came to his senses and grinned, "Yes, yes, yes, when the emperor is gone, my home will become a golden nest. This is called, the phoenix never lands where there is no treasure!"

Jiang Yourong, who was standing behind him, smiled softly to Xie Baochan, "Old Xue has a great tongue. It's a pity for him to be a peddler. He should be sent to a big theater to perform crosstalk."

Xie Baochan also laughed.

The naughty children in the village gathered around, looking at Ye Kun and others curiously, and asked Old Xue: "Mr. Xue with pockmarks and lame legs, who is this distinguished guest? The clothes he is wearing are so beautiful."

Ye Kun was amused.

The old man with pockmarks and lame legs, Lao Xue’s nickname is quite long!

Xie Baochan also laughed, and then said to the children:

"You naughty kids, have you never been to school? Did your teachers teach you to respect the elderly? From now on, just call him Uncle Xue instead of calling him so unpleasantly."

The naughty kids laughed and said, "The teacher also calls him Uncle Xue with pockmarks and lame legs!"

Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan couldn't help laughing and simply stopped talking.

Old Xue was too embarrassed to save face, and yelled at the naughty kids, "Get lost! I'm the same age as your grandfather. If you dare to call me pockmarked or crippled again, don't even think about eating my candy!"

The naughty kids were not afraid at all and followed along with laughter.

There is a small courtyard in front, with four small tiled houses in the front and a yard surrounded by bamboo fences in the back.

The fence wall is covered with morning glories.

Old Xue shouted at the door: "Old woman, little barbarian, the emperor is coming, bring the children out quickly and kowtow to welcome him!"

Ye Kun stopped and frowned, "Little Barbarian, who is that?"

"She was handed over to me and given to me as a concubine. I call her Little Barbarian."

"This..." Ye Kun was speechless.

No wonder Lao Xue has seven children, it turns out he has a concubine.

There were footsteps in the house, and two women pulled their children and ran out in a hurry, looking at Ye Kun and others stupidly.

"Don't kowtow. The kneeling ceremony has been abolished."

Ye Kun took the initiative to clasp his fists and nodded, then smiled at the two women and said, "Hello, two Xue family sisters-in-law. I am Old Xue's friend. I came to see you and the children!"

"Old woman, little savage, don't just stand there like an idiot. This is the Emperor, the Emperor of our Han Empire! This is the Empress, this is the Concubine Bao, and this is the Governor Guo..."

Old Xue was very busy. While introducing them, he held the children down and forced them to kowtow to Ye Kun, Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan.

Ye Kun had no choice but to accept the kneeling greetings from the Xue family’s children.

All the villagers came to watch the fun.

When they heard that the emperor was coming, they were so scared that they retreated quietly.

Ye Kun waved his hand and shouted, "Fellow villagers, don't leave. It's okay. Let's chat together. I like lively places."

Guo Ping also greeted the villagers: "The emperor is approachable and cares for the people. There is no need to avoid him."

Only then did the villagers stop and turn around.

Xie Baochan asked her maid to take out the gifts and distribute them to the villagers and naughty children in the village.

Ye Kun entered Lao Xue's room and looked around.

The room was in a mess, as if it had been ransacked.

There is a kitchen and a wing room in the backyard.

The last row of small houses to the north are the pig sty, chicken coop and toilet.

The residential land has an area of ​​more than three acres, which should be enough for living needs, but they just don’t know how to take care of it.

Old Xue rubbed his hands, followed Ye Kun, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I told you not to come. Look at my house, it's a mess, there's no place to stay..."

"You."

Ye Kun shook his head: "Where are the hygiene habits you developed when you were in the army? If you can't even manage the housework and sanitation of the household, don't call yourself my soldier in the future. You'll embarrass me!"

Old Xue smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty, I have a heavy responsibility to support my family, so..."

"Come on, let's eat first."

Ye Kun left the courtyard and came to the door: "We will eat, drink and chat under the camphor tree. Governor Guo, prepare the wine and food."

Guo Ping nodded and ordered his men to take the wine and food down from the carriage and set up two tables on the spot.

Ye Kun also invited two old men from the village to have dinner together.

Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan ate with Lao Xue's wives and concubines.

Ye Kun asked: "Old Xue, can your second wife, the one who came from Jiaozhi, speak Chinese now?"

"Yes, I know everything." Old Xue nodded:

"This little barbarian came to our China five years ago and worked in a textile factory in Chongqing for a year, where she learned to speak and write. Four years ago, the village chief brought her here, saying she would be my concubine and help with housework.

I thought that this must be the emperor's intention, so I didn't dare to refuse. So I accepted it, and I gave birth to two more sons."

Everyone laughed.

Ye Kun smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.

Immigration is a major policy of the imperial court.

Of course, there are tears and sadness here.

However, in order to develop the population, Ye Kun had no choice.

Over there, Jiang Yourong was also asking Lao Xue's concubine: "Sister, what's your name?"

"I didn't have a name before. When I came to the textile factory, they named me Ruan Fang. Old Xue didn't call me Ruan Fang, but called me Little Barbarian..."

"Sister, you speak Mandarin very well." Jiang Yourong nodded: "Can you read?"

"I learned to write when I was working in a textile factory. I can recognize more than a thousand characters, but I can't write many of them."

"That's not easy, my dear sister."

Jiang Yourong nodded, took out a gem-studded gold ring from his hand, and put it on Ruan Fang's hand:

"I give this ring to you. From now on, we are sisters. Live a good life and take good care of the children. If Lao Xue bullies you, tell the local authorities and let them beat him up."

Ruan Fang suddenly smiled: "Old Xue doesn't beat me, and I can eat my fill every day. My life is much better than before in Jiaozhi."

"That's good." Jiang Yourong smiled and went to chat with Mrs. Xue again.

After meal.

Ye Kun walked around the village to understand the people's situation.

Jiang Yourong and Xie Baochan asked the maid to boil hot water and wash the hair and faces of the girls from Old Xue's family.

For country children, hygiene is still a problem.

Dirty hair and lice.

Jiang Yourong took out the soap essence shampoo she brought with her and washed the children's hair, while instructing:

"If your hair is too long, you need to trim it. You need to wash your hair frequently, otherwise you will get lice on your head and become bald, which will make people laugh at you.

If you have lice on your head, you should wash your hair every day. After three or five days, the lice will be gone, and you will feel comfortable and your hair will look good.

Xie Baochan took scissors and a comb and cut the children's hair on the spot.

After some tidying up, the children all looked clean and refreshed.

It just so happened that Lao Xue came back with Ye Kun.

Xie Baochan complained, "Old Xue, I just saw that you have soap and sulfur soap in your cart. Why are you reluctant to wash the children's hair? Look at the children, their heads are full of lice! And the children's clothes are so dirty that you can't even see the threads of the cloth!"

"My lady, there is nothing I can do."

Old Xue clapped his hands and said, "These little bastards can't even wipe their butts clean in the toilet, and you expect them to wash their hair? I have to farm and do business in my spare time, so I don't have time to keep an eye on them..."

Hearing Lao Xue's vulgar words, Xie Baochan rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Ye Kun glared and said, "Old Xue, you are getting bolder and bolder. You dare to talk back to the queen? Are you itching for trouble?"
