Chapter 115: Someone Comes to Bring Military Rations
Erya rolled her eyes and said, "You're going to the grassland in the next two days to learn a ball!" ”
Xiaohu was disappointed "Oh! Then he said: "Then when I come back, I will learn from you, and you will teach me!" ”
"Okay! However, you'd better bring some ponytails and dongbu back from the grassland, and play with the sisters and aunts in the town. Erya thought that the women from the grassland were like the women here, and they didn't have the opportunity to go out all day long, but they were afraid that they would be suffocated.
Xiaohu agreed: "This is no problem, but do you want to ask them if they want to go back with us?" ”
Erya thought that this was a good idea, and nodded. "You have a good idea, when you send the horses over Ming'er, ask them by the way, who wants to go back, adults and children can do it." However, if they go back, you will probably have to prepare two more wagons for them to bring back as gifts. ”
Xiaohu smiled: "What's this, I didn't bring it less last year!" ”
Wen Chao heard the meaning next to him and shouted, "Dad! I'm going too! ”
Er Ya glared, "Play with your tumbler, little brat, you can go so far away?" ”
Wen Chao pouted unwillingly, holding his cheeks on the table with one hand, and playing with the tumbler's head with the other hand carelessly.
The nurse brought the reheated meal to Xiaohu, and Xiaohu said to his daughter-in-law while eating: "That's right! Today, Shopkeeper Chen told me that it is difficult to find a housekeeper who is suitable for our family. What he meant was to let Shi Jingxuan be the housekeeper, and by the way, mention a few to be the spare housekeepers. If Shi Jingxuan has a good future in the future. Just let him go, and the spare housekeeper in the back can also be used! I think this mention is very good, what do you think? ”
"Okay! Shi Jingxuan is not very old. But the ability to do things is still good. If Curator Shi hadn't had the help of his son, he would definitely not have been able to cope with so many tedious things. This time I can use Shi Jingxuan, and it is estimated that Director Shi is also happy.
I saw that Shi Jingxuan made a special trip to take care of the affairs of those children in the town, detached Director Shi from those trivial things, and let him concentrate on the children's studies. I can't say that he can send the child to the threshold of lifting people and jinshi! ”
Erya remembered what happened in Liu Jialing again, and then said: "There is more." Liu Jialing's piece of land was directly handed over to the lobby uncle, and my brother was called back. After all, it was a field where our family and clan were together, and it was easy for some people in the clan to be dissatisfied if my brother was always watching there. Leave it to the lobby uncle, even if anyone is unconvinced, he has nothing to find fault with. As for the tea garden, I listened to the uncle and handed it over to Cai Baocheng to manage. Such a distribution. Even if you're not at home. I was also able to live at home with my children. ”
Xiaohu responded while eating, and interjected for a long time: "Okay!" Do as you say! Don't be too tired, there are some things you can let go of them, you just let go! ”
Erya: "Hmm! After a sigh, he asked uncomfortably about going to the grassland in advance, and the shopkeeper Chen had a question: "Have you told the shopkeeper Chen that you will go over earlier this year?" Do they have any problems? ”
Xiaohu nodded: "It's said!" Shopkeeper Chen said they were ready. You can go at any time. ”
"That's fine! I'll pack up your things tomorrow, and you'll leave the day after tomorrow!" ”
The next day. Erya packed up his things at home, and the necessities for eating, drinking, and sleeping on the road, the weapons needed for safety, the tea leaves brought to the grassland, and the utensils and silk should be taken in the provincial capital, so Erya didn't need to bother.
Xiaohu was busy going to the town and asked the children from the grassland if they wanted to go back to have a look, and by the way, he told Director Shi that he would hire his son as a housekeeper.
Curator Shi was so excited that he was about to cry. Although he has become a little taciturn and inactive now, his heart is still very clear and not confused at all.
If it weren't for the Wang family's willingness to accept him as a gentleman here, and later appointed him as the curator without avoiding suspicion, his life would basically be considered useless, and it would be unimaginable whether their family would survive in the future. Otherwise, where could he have such a reputation that is not worse than that of lifting people now, even the prefect praised him a lot, and never mentioned the mistakes he had made before.
Therefore, in Director Shi's heart, this Wang family is not just a gift of knowledge for his historian, but a real gift that saved the lives of their family. Therefore, in addition to trying his best to do things for the owner, he also wants his grown up son to repay the favor for the owner. It's just that the lady of the proprietor always excuses that his son is talented, and she keeps resigning for fear of wasting him. Now that he has finally figured it out and is willing to use his son, he is happier than anyone else. He doesn't think that his son has much ability, so that the owner lady doesn't dare to use it, but he is more flexible!
"Thank you for the owner's willingness to use this child, he is now older, except for helping me with some chores, he usually walks around the owner's field. always said that he would help the owner to take care of the crops in the field. Fortunately, those tenants also recognized him, and managed the field quite well. Basically, I don't let the uncles and second uncles of the owner worry about it. Today, I guess I'm going to go to the fields and the barren mountains again, and when he comes back, I'll sue him. He has always wanted to do things for the owner, but he is worried that the owner will dislike him and refuse to use him! "When Curator Shi has to say it, this mouth is still neat.
Xiaohu was not polite, and said: "Your family's Jing Xuan is a capable child, it is indeed a little younger to let him be a housekeeper." So, for the last few years, he has been with you, mainly in charge of the children and the women. If he can manage the affairs of that field, he will take care of it. As he grows older, other things will be added to him gradually. In addition, please help choose two more children who are suitable for being housekeepers, if Jing Xuan has a great future in the future and wants to leave our family, then this prepared housekeeper will be used to share Jing Xuan's duties. ”
Curator Shi was stunned for a moment and then relieved, the owner is really thinking about his son, and at the same time, he is also showing himself that as long as his son has a better place to go, they will never stop it, let alone hinder his son's future.
It's just that! He smiled bitterly in his heart. With him, a father who has made mistakes, what kind of future can the child have!?
What kind of mood Director Shi has, Xiaohu doesn't know and won't care. He asked some more questions about the couple's concerns. Then I learned about some boys' studies, lives, moods, physical health, etc.
Because Curator Shi is a single man after all, it is not easy for Erya to come to the door to ask about this and understand that, so there is a series of inquiries and understandings from Xiaohu today.
When the children took a lunch break at noon, Xiaohu asked the children of the grassland: "If any of you want to go back to the grassland, if you want to, please say it now." We're leaving tomorrow. ”
The kids blew up all at once, and they all wanted to go back. Of course, this is not possible, Xiaohu finally selected a few older children to take with him.
The women. Erya originally thought that they must want to go back to the grassland to have a look, but who would have expected that they would shake their heads like rattles in front of Xiaohu: "No! No! If we don't go back, we can't bear this journey. Our children are not going back either. It's so sinful! ”
These steppe women who are afraid of the official roads of the Central Plains like tigers. The little tiger who ran across the grassland can still understand that the official road in the Central Plains is really not comparable to the grassland.
Not long after Xiaohu left with the caravan and children, General Qin sent someone to come with a carriage to pull the grain to Wangjiazhuang, and the person who led the team was Laizi and General Qin's grandson, and the Wang family was undoubtedly warmly received.
The second aunt looked at her son, who was wearing armor and was imposing, and she hadn't closed her mouth for most of the day. The second uncle also grinned and followed his son to busy before and after. Hehehehe, he laughed, and he didn't stop.
Don't talk about the people in the Zhuangzi. They all came here, and even other Zhuangzi, who heard that there were a lot of soldiers and soldiers, and they were brought back by the Wang family, all ran over curiously to see the excitement. For a time, the front gate and drying field of Wangjiazhuang, which were originally small, were full of people, and even the horses and carriages were moved to the woods across the river to be placed.
The men of the Wang family were busy drinking tea and chatting with the soldiers, and the women were busy slaughtering chickens, ducks, geese, and picking vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Erya looked at the small pile of meat and vegetables, and calculated a small account in his heart. If the army had to receive food every time, this entertainment fee would not be small. However, if you send food to your own family, it will cost you a lot of money to hire a car and people, and you will have to worry about the safety of the road. After careful calculation, he still warmly and generously invited these officers and soldiers to eat two meals, so that they could take the initiative to come over to receive food and it was cost-effective.
Thinking about it like this, she specially ran to the big milk who was in charge of the meal and whispered: "Big milk! Let's make a good meal, let these officers and soldiers eat and drink well, so that the twice-a-year grain can hopefully be escorted by themselves. This is much more insurable and trouble-free than sending it over ourselves. Isn't it! ”
The big grandmother checked how many meat and vegetarian dishes there was, and said with a smile: "I can figure out your temperament, it looks like a big grin, but in fact, I am more powerful than anyone else!" Me! Just listen to you, and put the good ones on the top, so that they can remember to come back next time! It's too late today, tomorrow please come and kill the pig to entertain them, are you satisfied?! ”
Erya smiled cheekily: "Satisfied!" Very satisfied! Big, listen to me! My elbows are always turning in. You can rest assured! These chickens, ducks and geese will never be wasted in vain! ”
The big tits smiled and patted Erya's back, "I'm very relieved, you can go and get busy." I see that your second aunt is patronizing, and I don't expect to be able to count on her for other things, so you go and keep an eye on it. ”
"Hey!" Erya agreed, so she went to the second uncle's house to help entertain the grandson of General Qin's family.
When Laizi saw his sister-in-law coming, he hurriedly stood up and greeted: "Sister-in-law! Then he introduced to the grandson of General Qin's family: "Qin Baihu, this is my sister-in-law, and I am my brother Xiaohu's daughter-in-law." ”
Originally, Qin Baihu was a little careless, but when he heard that it was Xiaohu's daughter-in-law, he immediately stood up and saluted solemnly: "Hello sister-in-law!" ”
Erya saw him stand upright, his arms half raised, his hands half clenched, and he gestured at himself. Yes! This is a salute?! It's a far cry from the military salute of her original world!
While comparing different military salutes, she saluted back: "Hey! Hello Qin Baihu! You've been tired along the way! ”
After saying hello, she asked Laizi again, "Come on!" It's not a war, why are you still wearing armor? Fortunately, the weather has cooled, otherwise you wouldn't have been baked by the sun all the way?! ”
Laizi's originally smiling face was immediately correct, his attitude was strict, and he said in a solemn tone: "Our General Qin can say that this grain transportation is no less than meeting the enemy, and we can't be careless at all." These people who came with us today are all elite soldiers specially selected by General Qin, and General Qin attaches great importance to them! (To be continued......)
