Billowing smoke dragons, kicks in bursts. The dog barks and crows, and the morning bell is long. The sky is red, and the grass is thick. Who is in a hurry? Flying like a rainbow.
"Drive! Drive!"
Five horses, five people, horses galloping like meteors, people bent over their bows, and stepped out of the dust on the road. One person urged the horses to sit down from time to time and opened the way.
"Report eight hundred miles urgently, make way."
The people who came out to set up the stalls in the middle of Sanshui County in the morning when the sky was just dimly lit, heard this sound, and took refuge on both sides of the road. Many people looked terrified and reported urgently, how much Haven't heard of it in years? What's the matter? Is it going to be a big battle
"Quickly, go back and call for my second son, and take out the leather armor in the house." An old man who thought he was going to fight no longer looked at the stall, and called the old woman who was next to him, and was going home to give the second child. The son is going to use things for war, so as to serve the country.
Perhaps the people on that horse realized that the people's expressions were wrong, so they had to change their words: "Good news for eight hundred miles, give way."
The person who was about to go home just now stopped, but was even more puzzled. How can the emergency report be used to announce the good news
People on horses don’t care what others think, as long as they don’t make people think that they are going to fight, they urge the horses to run at the fastest speed. After half an hour, they are at a post house, and there are horses ready to be replaced by others. Riding, the five jumped off the horse, holding a token in their hands, changing horses and running.
It took seven quarters of an hour to travel from Yamen in Sanshui County to Zhangjiazhuangzi in Tuqiao Village. It took only seven quarters of an hour for the five people, which was a quarter to an hour away.
"Sanshui County Government Officer Chen Dong begged to see Qiwei Yun." The man jumped off his horse and came to the outside of the Zhang's yard. He knocked on the door twice, not waiting for the janitor inside to ask questions, he called out loudly and finished. With this sentence, he stood there waiting with a look of joy and excitement, breathing heavily.
The four people behind were also happy together, sorted out their clothes, stood up as much as possible, and waited for the people inside to come out and rejoice again.
The gatekeeper was dumbfounded. He heard the voice outside. He was familiar with the Yamen in the Yamen, but who was Cavalier Yun? How come to Zhangjiazhuang Zhuangzi to shout
Knowing that it is an acquaintance is good, the gatekeeper opened the door first, and while letting the five government officials come in, he turned and ran towards the housekeeper's yard.
Fortunately, when he didn't run too far, Chen Dong added a sentence of receiving the imperial decree, letting him know what to say.
After a while, all the young and old in Zhangjiazhuang came out and put on new clothes one by one. The old man came over. Before he could speak, Chen Dong said:
"Grandma, congratulations, the imperial edict came from the imperial court. It was in the middle of the state. Master Zhou sent someone to the Yamen for six hundred li overnight. I sent it here again without stopping, Qiwei Yun, and the emperor Feng Yongcheng. The eldest brother is Qili Yun, the seventh rank, and the eldest brothers of the Wang family, Wang Gong and Wang Gutu, have sealed the lieutenant Wu and start the seventh rank."
While speaking, Chen Dong was about to give the imperial decree in his arms to the grandfather Zhang. Zhang Xiaobao and his father Zhang Yongcheng could only wait aside, don't think it was the one who sealed him, he was the head of the family, and he didn't count what he said at a critical time in this family.
Old Mrs. Zhang did not answer. First, he arranged the five people to rest in the living room. He ordered someone to take a bath and change clothes. After that, he took someone to take the imperial decree, called his son to the side, and asked Qi Nian to kneel down to get the decree. This pass will go to the worship hall at home and incense to the ancestors.
The old lady was excited, crying while offering incense, saying for a while, I felt relieved when I went to see my ancestors, and then said that Zhang’s family had a queen, and then incoherently tossed for half an hour, only then came out with red eyes and thought of other people’s Wang’s family. I also waited, and hurried over with five yamen.
The Wang family also tossed for a while, gave out a lot of money to the five yamen, and took out 30 kilograms of dry fungus from Zhang Xiaobao's warehouse for the yamen to take back to share.
The two villagers have gained a lot this time, not just because they have officials. The 100 households of Zhangjiazhuangzi were taken back, and another 300 households were sealed with 2,400 mu of land. Wangjiazhuangzi directly sealed 200 households. And one thousand six hundred acres of land, belong to the official small, the big one.
At this time, the dealers of the two Zhuangzi also got news. I heard that their main house was sealed by the court. There was still a lot of land. One household went to the grocery store to buy a lot of firecrackers and set them off cracklingly. stand up.
Shuiyunjian Restaurant announced on the spot that the drinks and drinks will be free for three days, making those who come to see the talents guess the question very happy.
The people in Gejiazhuang heard the movement and came out to watch. Someone who worked in the restaurant. When they said things, when the Gejiazhuang family was happy, they were a little disappointed. Why didn't their masters be sealed off? Woolen cloth
The two villagers of the other family suddenly had 400 more food villages than before. Now they add up to more than 200 households. With 500 households, it is natural that the current villagers will be transferred to them. With the two main households For the farmer's appearance, the rent in autumn will be eliminated a lot.
The first one who is active in mind, thinks whether his family can enter Zhang’s or Wang’s family, even if the owner’s family does not reduce the rent, or reduce the rent a little, the child can eat other people’s preparations when they arrive in the school. You don’t need to bring your own meals.
What I bring is not as good as what someone gave me. When my child came home a few days ago, he said that he was embarrassed to take out what he was eating when he saw what he was eating.
…
Luochuan County, pasture.
There were snoring sounds from time to time in the tents. The children snored less, but this time they got more. They were all exhausted. After two consecutive days of marching, they finally let them know what it means to be uncomfortable.
Of the one hundred and thirty-five people who came back, only one hundred and three were left. Thirty-two people withdrew. Fourteen on the first day, and eighteen on the second day. There are both age groups. quit.
Pomegranate and another maid took turns guarding beside Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, an oil lamp swayed gently, Pomegranate holding a fan in his hand, gently fanning the two young boys.
Seeing the cute appearance of the two people when they sleep, Pomegranate can’t wait to kiss one person. Last night, the little son and the little lady were more than half an hour earlier than the third person who came back. Even Li Cheng from the Li family can't keep up.
At that time, I was accompanied by three other people. With the enviable look around me, I can’t help but feel happy when I think of it now. Isn’t it the comparison between these children in the field survival training? The little sons and little ladies who are less than three years old are more deadly than others.
"Sister Pomegranate, it's going to dawn soon, do you change me?" Just as Pomegranate was thinking about things, the girl sleeping next to her opened her eyes to look at the light in the tent gap, and asked Pomegranate.
"No, I'm not sleepy, I'm happy, no one can compare to our little son and little lady. If you win again this year, you can rest. They have to run for a few days when they are older. They may not be able to run down. Yesterday I saw a few children crying tired."
Pomegranate rejected the proposal of substitution, and gently shook the fan with her other hand, with a proud look on her face.
The maid thought for a while, and stopped sleeping anymore, got up and prepared to serve the two young boys to freshen up for a while.
At this moment, there was a sound of hooting, horseshoes, and screaming from outside the camp. This time it was fine. There was no need to wake up the children. The children in the tent hadn't rested well, so they slept in a different environment. , I always feel uncomfortable. I am sleeping on a couch at home. I can only sleep on the carpet here. I am awakened when there is a little movement.
One by one came out of the tent with dim sleepy eyes, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also heard the noise, not knowing what was happening, they got up and looked out through the gap in the tent door.
After a while, the movement stopped, and a person came from there, followed by two horses and two horsemen.
"Congratulations to Young Master Zhang, the man from Sanshui County's Yamen said that he wanted to see Young Master. Young Master's father was named Yun Qiwei, and Wang's family also got a Wu Qiwei. These two government officials came to report."
"Oh, thank you Li Gongzi, please bring people here." Zhang Xiaobao looked at Li Cheng and listened to what he said. His calm mentality finally fluctuated. He didn't care about these things, he only cared about his family, but family members. Care about these.
"Little son, I am..."
"You're Song Yang, Ya Ya, you have rushed so far to report the letter. It's been a lot of work. Auntie is okay? I don't know if that thing is true or..." Zhang Xiaobao has a good memory, usually as long as he meets people, he can basically remember Stayed, asked a question, but didn't say anything at the back.
"Really, my little son, it's all true. Are you going to go back soon? Good, good, all good. The one from my family is not bad. Thank you Zhang's family. The food is good, the dress is good, and the child is strong. "
Song Yang suddenly felt that he was exhausted from rushing all the way and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The little son who was so older could know the things in his home, he must have been told by his family.
There was also a daughter-in-law who had just given birth to a child in his family. Zhangjiazhuang also sent a lot of things. Only the big bag of apricot plums cost at least 500 yuan. The other things together, seven or eight. Both of the silver may not be enough.
The child was even more closely watched by a doctor who was invited by someone to look after him. What kind of kindness would he take to pay it back? He could only help Zhangjiazhuangzi to do something more, so he rushed over to report the letter.
"Really? Little son, let's go back, this is all right, the hundred Shiyi finally don't have to worry about being taken back, the master becomes an official, and I will be the official servant in the future."
Pomegranate also followed and heard that her master had been sealed off. Even if she didn't know how old the official was, she cheered and couldn't help but say what was in her heart.
"Okay, go back, let's go now, Wang Juan, get on the horse." Zhang Xiaobao got an affirmative answer, no matter what the wild life here, he greeted Wang Juan, and he himself stood by the horse first.
