Chapter 45 Settling In
After a busy time, it was already Shen Shichu (3 o'clock in the afternoon), thinking about the news he had just received, his family was going to set off for Shuanglong Pass overnight today, because it was about to be the New Year, and he was going to send supplies to the pass. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yunbao thought about buying more things in Tonghua County before it was dark, the New Year was coming soon, and the New Year would be celebrated with or without money.
Otherwise, it is very inconvenient to wait until the place to buy it, not to mention that there is no time, that is, it takes an hour and a half to walk from the nearest Renjiang Town.
They spent a total of 126 taels of silver along the way, including an IOU of 30 taels that Liu Yongzhao wanted to set up, which is equivalent to saying that the exile cost almost 100 taels of silver all the way, which is too expensive.
Li Yunbao converted this one hundred taels to more than 300,000 in modern times, damn! Think about the confiscated family property of the entire Guogong Mansion, I can't think about it anymore when it's over!
Thinking that she has no special skills except for cooking, it is estimated that it is difficult for her to earn money like those heroines, even if she goes to be a cook, she can't make much money, so she can only try to open up sources and reduce expenses and then slowly figure it out.
The husband and wife took their children to wander around Tongshun County, and bought some items to be used at home immediately, such as kitchen knives, chopping boards, a large iron pot, dishes and chopsticks, quilts, oil lamps, wooden basins for bathing, copper basins for washing faces, various altars and jars, etc., all of which let Li Yunbao secretly put in the space.
Originally, Shen Xingnan wanted to take Rainbow Dash to buy food, but his wife stopped him, saying that he had a lot of inventory, and the price of food was high in winter, so he didn't have to waste money to buy this.
Li Yunbao thought that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so he took Shen Xingnan to take the opportunity to buy half a sheep, a dog meat, twenty catties of pork ribs, etc., which cost a lot of money.
On the way back to the Thousand Households, he saw a candy blower, and Li Yunbao ran to the stall with An Ge'er like a child. No way, I've seen it on TV in modern times, but I've seen it in reality, so she was very excited to buy two candy people with her children, looking at her two children, Shen Xingnan smiled happily and paid on the side.
Then Li Yunbao was inexplicably taken to the weapons shop by Shen Xingnan, and bought two good bows and arrows, as well as five hundred arrows, as well as two daggers and a long knife, which alone cost nearly forty taels, in fact, money is a trivial matter, but buying so many weapons at once is really scared to death The baby is woody.
Fortunately, this is because there are frequent battles at the border and they have soldiers' number plates as evidence, otherwise it is not necessary to say whether people sell them or not, and it is not certain that they will be reported as spies.
Quietly found a place to put all these dangerous items into the space, and when it got dark, the family returned to the Thousand Households, and set off with the seven members of the Liu family to their final destination with supplies.
The carriage has to go all the way all the way day and day by day, the scenery on the road is beautiful and snowy, and the whole world is covered in silver, Brother An has never seen such a snow scene, Brother An, who sleeps like a pig at night, is in good spirits during the day, and he is going to climb to Shen Xingnan from Li Yunbao's arms, wanting his father to take him to play in the snow.
And Shen Xingnan didn't sleep all night, and now he finally squinted for a while, Li Yunbao brought his son back to his side like an eagle catching a chicken, and whispered a lot of small stories to coax him to finish.
On the second day, at the beginning of Shen Shi, the Liu family and his party got out of the car and separated from their own house, and they continued to move forward.
It was until the end of the Shen period until the carriage gradually stopped, and the family got off the carriage and looked around, knowing that it was originally to Shuanglong Pass.
Li Yunbao got out of the car and looked around and found that the car was on an avenue, and there were some houses on both sides of the road, and there was a vacant lot about a few hundred meters behind the houses, and behind the vacant land was a big mountain.
Straight ahead of the avenue is a two-meter-high wall surrounded by thick wooden pillars, arranged like a fence, presumably the barracks of the barracks.
There is a big school field in the wall, there are many houses around the school field, it is estimated that it is the barracks of the sergeants, and then there is a soil embryo wall more than one meter high, and there is a school field in the wall, and then there are many blue brick houses, because only the tile roof can be seen from a distance.
Beyond that was the high stone city wall, Li Yunbao knew that it must be the wall of the pass, and not far from the wall was another country.
They were led into the camp gate by a soldier, and they were received by a scholar surnamed Cui. From his mouth, he learned that Shuanglong Pass here is a place of thousands of households, and it is guarded by five hundred troops led by General Ning Yuan from Wupin, Jiang Zhengzhong, and Jiang Qianhu.
Jiang Qianhu brought two guards under the school, from the seven-rank martial cavalry captain Hu Zhi, from the seven-rank martial cavalry captain Zhang Shan, and he himself was the secretary of the pass Zheng Liupin who specialized in managing the internal service of military quartermasters, and Jiang Qianhu had jurisdiction over one hundred households, Zhao Baihu, Xue Baihu, Wang Baihu, Feng Baihu, and Zheng Baihu were all six and one hundred households.
Shen Xingnan was assigned to Zheng Baihu and Zheng Guangyao, and after the handover, Zheng Baihu arranged Shen Xingnan to serve under Wang Quan's small banner, and they belonged to Xu Zhixu's general banner.
Li Yunbao is a little dizzy by this slippery assignment, even if she has a memory, no matter how smart she is, she is a little dizzy about the official system of this Great Sage Dynasty, people who are not good at history can't afford to hurt her, besides, this Great Sage is still a dynasty that she has never heard of, and now her mind is full of mush, and it is difficult to distinguish it!
After a set of arrangements, Wang Xiaoqi took his family of three out of the camp, walked along the avenue for about 300 meters, turned into an alley on the left, and when he walked to the end of the alley, next to a well, he turned right into an alley, and walked through four families one after another, and stopped in front of a house with a small courtyard surrounded by a half-human height earthen wall and a small courtyard with a thatched roof.
Li Yunbao looked left and right and found that there were six families in a row in this alley, her house happened to be the fifth household that walked in, there was another one behind it, and there were six households opposite, her house type was good, sitting north and facing south, that is to say, there were twelve households in this alley just door to door.
"Brother Xiao Shen, this will be your home in the future, the treatment of our Shuanglongguan can be regarded as a better one, unlike other places where the house has to be built by itself, we are all ready-made roof thatch, window paper is only new this autumn, to ensure that there is no rain leakage, no wind leakage."
Wang Xiaoqi pushed open the door of the half-human high courtyard made of wooden sticks, and turned back to Shen Xingnan and said.
Entering the courtyard and walking more than 20 steps to the door of the house, the door of the house is open in the leftmost one, push the door to enter, the first thing to see on the right side of a two-eyed large earthen stove empty two black holes, on the stove there is a reed-woven old curtain and the inside is separated, inside is a large kang near the window connected to the stove outside, there is a square table and two benches directly opposite the kang.
Li Yunbao put down the son in his hand, took a few steps through the big kang and pushed open the door of the third room, only to see that there was also a big kang by the window, it was empty, it was really a family with four walls.
Wang Xiaoqi said to Shen Xingnan after seeing them visit, "Brother Shen, you have two stone of grain per month for the main army, and your son has a subsidy of two buckets of grain per month for the Yu army, but this month is about to end, we all receive the next month's grain in the afternoon at the end of each month, and the grain for one month will be distributed on the 31st of this month, so you have to think of a way for yourself in the past three days." ”
Shen Xingnan is not easy to entangle with his boss when he first arrives, he knows that the military camp will definitely make up the food in the past three days, it is estimated that this Wang Xiaoqi bullied him into an exile and has no foundation to back, and he feels that he must not dare to go against a hereditary Xiaoqi like him.
It's just that he has to be greedy for even three days' food, which shows that this person's character and his character must be very stingy and greedy for money, Shen Xingnan has a preliminary understanding of his little flag leader.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoqi asked Shen Xingnan again, "Brother Shen, you see that you don't have firewood on this cold Tianshan Mountain, you don't have firewood, I just ask if you want to buy some firewood?" The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and we're the coldest time of the year. ”
"Of course, this is to be purchased, I don't know where to buy Xiaoqi?" Li Yunbao interjected and asked him.
"My mother-in-law and his brother prepare a lot of firewood every year, and those of us who are soldiers don't have time to chop firewood, and the family is full of women and children, and it is inconvenient to go to the firewood, so we spend some money to buy it." Wang Xiaoqi recommended it more enthusiastically.
Shen Xingnan didn't understand, this Wang Xiaoqi said this just to let them buy his firewood, at the moment he didn't hesitate to let Wang Xiaoqi take him to buy it, it's best to get things done tonight, otherwise he will have to go into the camp tomorrow to report on training, and he won't have time to help Ah Bao do these chores.
"Those two wait a minute, while the sky is still a little bright, I will ask my eldest son to take you there, his uncle's house is not far away, and you will be there in a short time on the way you came."
Wang Xiaoqi hurriedly left to call his son, on the way home, he was very happy, today is lucky, not only can he deduct three days' food, his uncle can buy firewood, he can also share some copper plates, and the New Year is about to be over, and he can also buy some meat for the family to satisfy the child's hunger.
