The news of Chen Wan's escape quickly spread throughout the village.
The angriest person was Chen Changping.
He rushed into Jiang Sanlang's house without caring about his dignity, shouting angrily and asking Yingbao to hand over Chen Wan.
Jiang Sanlang, Zhang Min, Wei Zhan and others came out upon hearing the noise and directly pushed him out.
Mr. Wu stood at the gate with his hands behind his back, glaring at him: "This is really insulting. I will write a letter later to ask the county school instructor how a student like you can exist."
Chen Changping fell in the snow, got up in a panic, looked at everyone angrily, and turned away.
Yingbao climbed up the wall and watched him walk away silently, thinking about something in her mind.
In his previous life, Chen Changping defected to the rebels and was eventually killed by the emperor.
No, it seems that Xiao Mo killed all nine generations of his clan.
Are these nine clans including Clan Leader Chen’s family
In the evening, Jiang Sanlang and his wife helped their daughter grow auricularia auricularia.
"Bao'er, why did Chen Changping ask you for that person? Did Chen Wan tell you something?" Chunniang asked her daughter.
Yingbao shook her head: "Chen Wan and I have never met before. Chen Changping must be crazy to think so."
I just don’t know how Chen Changping judged that his daughter had a relationship with her.
The second day is New Year’s Eve.
Jiang Sanlang replaced the image of the Kitchen God with a new one and began to steam the meat.
Two large pots were burning at the same time, cooking sausages, pork heads, tied trotters, cured ribs, elbow livers, etc.
There is also a pot of braised chicken with soybeans.
At night, the Jiang family celebrated New Year's Eve with great enthusiasm.
This year, the Jiang family did not invite Madam Wen and Madam Wang, because Wen Silang's mother and sister-in-law were there, and their daughter Wen Shu and son-in-law Li Xu were also present.
As for Madam Wang, because the city was occupied by rebels, the head of the Wei family brought a group of concubines and illegitimate children to Dongchen Village and lived in Madam Wang's house.
Wei Zhan was very reluctant to go home for the New Year, but there was nothing he could do.
After dinner, he ran happily to find Yingbao, Jiang Wu and Jiang Jie, carrying a glass lamp.
"Here! The glass lamp I brought from the city." Wei Zhan stuffed the glass lamp in Ying Bao's hand, and snatched the rabbit lantern from her hand.
Yingbao was speechless and had to carry the glass lantern to the pond.
Yan Ru, holding her daughter Jiang Xiaomei's hand, squatted by the water with a dozen children, breaking the thin ice and placing down lotus lanterns.
Under the red light, the river pond looks like the Milky Way in the sky.
Yingbao also put down a lamp and gently pushed it away.
Wei Zhan stood on the other side, looking at this side.
The girl was wearing a pink dress, as bright as the spring sun, and her grace was already apparent. For a moment, Wei Zhan was stunned.
"Wei Zhan, come here!" Zhang Min kicked him and said, "Let's go practice some moves."
Zhang Min has been living in Jiang's family in Dongchen Village for the past few years. Now he is sixteen years old and doesn't like the sissy behavior of women.
Most of the people releasing river lanterns are women. I don't know what Wei Zhan is doing here.
Wei Zhan had no choice but to follow Senior Brother Zhang to the martial arts training ground.
He is fifteen years old, one year younger than Zhang Min, but he is very agile and can hold his own in a fight.
Nowadays, most of the boys in the village practice martial arts, and no one dares to bully them when they go out.
Even Nishimura Muramasa's fat grandson was grabbed by the ears by his grandfather and handed over to Zhang Meng.
Lanterns were hung on wooden stakes around the training ground. Boys came over and fought in pairs.
In the shadows, Zhou Wuchang arrived at some point. He and his eldest disciple looked at these lively young people and nodded secretly.
In the early morning, the sound of firecrackers rang out all over the village.
The new year has begun.
In the same year, the rebels captured half of Murong's territory and used the Mo River as the boundary, isolating the Murong clan in the northwest.
From then on, the rebel leader proclaimed himself emperor and called himself the Great Zhou.
The Murong clan was called the Little Zhou Dynasty.
When Sun Lizheng brought the news to Dongchen Village, everyone was stunned.
"What's going on? How did the world change so quickly? Have we become citizens of the Great Zhou?" Old Man Jiang couldn't believe it. He pulled Sun Lizheng aside and asked, "Does my grandson's title of scholar still count?"
Sun Lizheng brushed him off and said unhappily, "Why not? Even the county magistrate is on duty as usual."
"Where is the capital of the Great Zhou?" asked Jiang Sanlang.
"In Jiankang, we will pay taxes to the court there in the future," said Sun Lizheng.
Jiang Sanlang asked again: "Who is the new emperor? What is his surname?"
"Well, the emperor's last name is Zhou, and we ordinary people can't tell his name." Sun Lizheng said, "Don't ask so many questions, there are many things I don't know. Anyway, the higher-ups have given orders, so we just follow them."
Old Man Jiang suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously, "What about my Erquan? He was conscripted by the previous dynasty. How is he now?"
Sun Lizheng scratched his head: "Well, I'll ask for you later."
Yingbao was also confused when she heard the news.
What is going on
Daqian was divided into two, and now there is an emperor named Zhou.
She couldn't figure it out.
Not long after, the village head began to re-register the household registration of the people in Dongchen Village.
Newly arrived refugees were also registered and given a piece of wasteland to build houses on so that they could settle down.
That day, Yingbao took Chen Zhao and Xubao into a remote village on a bullock cart.
It is now March, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Chen Wan, dressed in a coarse cloth dress, is hanging out to dry freshly washed clothes.
"Big sister!" Chen Zhao and Xu Bao's eyes were filled with tears and they rushed towards Chen Wan.
Chen Wan was not very happy to see Chen Zhao and his brother. She just asked calmly, "Why are you here? Who brought you here?"
She looked at the ox cart not far away and Yingbao on it.
Yingbao knew what she suspected and explained, "We just happened to pass by."
"No one brought me here. We originally wanted to go over there to cut some bamboo, but then we saw my sister." Chen Zhao said.
Chen Xu hugged Chen Wan's arm, pouting, about to cry, "Sister, let's go home."
Chen Wan shook her head: "This is my home. Come on, come in and sit with sister."
So, several people walked into Chen Wan’s new home.
Yingbao followed behind them, looking around.
There was a thatched hut, with fishing nets drying at the door, a tattered little wooden boat, and an old woman with patches all over her body looking at the people nervously.
Chen Wan introduced: "This is my mother-in-law. Her last name is Song."
"Granny Song." Chen Zhao and Xu Bao bowed to the old woman.
"Hey! Hey!" Mrs. Song hurriedly made way: "Come in and sit down, I'll go make tea." Then she quickly went to the kitchen.
Chen Zhao walked around the room and couldn't help shaking his head: "Big sister, their family is so poor, can you get used to living here?"
"I'm here for you in the future, so you won't be poor." Chen Wan said confidently.
Yingbao looked at her and was already very sure in her heart.
This Chen Wan must know something that I don't know, so she hid here.
"Sister Chen Wan, why do you say I am your sister?" Ying Bao decided to get straight to the point.
Chen Wan looked over, her expression gradually becoming cold.
Chen Zhao also said: "Big sister, Yingbao asked me several times today, just tell me."
Chen Wan looked at Ying Bao and said slowly, "I dreamed about it."
Yingbao saw that her fingers were twisted together and trembling slightly.
