Chapter 132: Tribute

"Daddy! Your suspicion is again! Over the years, our Guinancheng mountain bandits have long since declined, okay? Not...... It smells so good! Xia Cao said as she took a bite of the zongzi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"You! Just know how to eat! Listen carefully! Not far from us, there is a sound of horses' hooves, neat and well-organized, and there are many people and horses! Xia Muhan said.

"Dad, there are really mountain bandits! Just give me some activity. Dad's mattress in our house is too valuable, hey, this person is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, they are eyeing our mattresses, and today let them know how powerful their father and daughter are, and give them no return. Xia Cao gushed endlessly, swallowed a few more mouthfuls of zongzi, and prepared to jump off the carriage!

"It's not a mountain bandit, it should be an army!"

"The big guy stops and rests on the spot!" Xia Muhan loudly gave orders to the people involved in the escort. Naturally, they didn't know the details of the other party, so it was better for them to avoid it, Xia Muhan immediately made a decision and let everyone go under the tree on the side of the road to rest.

The day of May, it is extremely hot, and now it is noon, the sun outside is too scorching, and the big guys are happy to find a place to rest, lie down, sit, drink some cold water, and cool off.

"Dad, there is only the southwest army near our county, could it be that they are passing by?" Xia Cao leaned into her father's ear and whispered.

In the past six years, Xia Cao has inquired about the major events in their Fucheng and even in the area south of the Yangtze River. To clear the big boss of the queen mother and the prime minister, Xia Cao has also heard a little about the affairs of the court.

"I just hope nothing big happens! The southwestern army is generally guarded at the border passes, and there are few moves. Let's take a look, maybe my guess is wrong! Xia Muhan said.

A quarter of an hour later, Xia Cao and their original main road, a large group of officers and soldiers passed by, a large number of people, they escorted a lot of goods, a big flag was planted on the car, on which the word "tribute" was written, the place where the carriage passed, left a deep imprint, it seems that the goods on the car are not light!

Naturally, the officers and soldiers also saw Xia Cao, and the leader only held back a glance, and still passed by with a large army.

When the officers and soldiers walked away, Xia Cao quietly asked Xia Muhan, "Dad, they are so pretending, fortunately we are in Guinan City, and there are no bandits, otherwise they are vigilant, and it is estimated that when they arrive in the capital, there will be no wheels left." Dad, are they going to Beijing to sacrifice to the emperor? ”

"Well, it was probably sent by the Western Xia Kingdom, didn't you notice that the smell of fat powder wafting from the girls in those carriages has choked your mother?" Xia Muhan said jokingly.

"Dad, you're not serious, staring at other girls, hum, I'm going to sue my mother!" Summer grass smiling and threatening.

The girls of the other races over there in Xixia like to use strong rouge, and Xia Cao still knows this common sense.

"After resting, the big guy continues on the road, and when we get to the county seat, we will have something to eat." Xia Muhan ordered to continue on the road again.

When he arrived in the county seat, Xia Cao separated from the Su family and Xia Muhan first, and went to the school in the county town to find Xia Qiaomu's two elder brothers.

When they arrived at the door of the school, the school had its own rules of the school, and they couldn't go in Xiacao, so they said hello to the uncle who guarded the door, and asked him to go in to help find the eldest brother and call them out.

In the era when there was no mobile phone, it was extremely inconvenient to pass on a message, everything had to be passed on from generation to generation, and Xia Cao was naturally waiting at the door. But at this time, it was already evening, and the eldest brother should be almost out of school.

"Xiaocao, mother, why are you here?" Xia Qiaomu rushed out of the door of the school and was naturally surprised to see Xia Cao and the two of them. Did he already say that the two-day school is going to be a holiday before? Mother, why did they come all the way from Taoli Village to see them.

"Xiaocao, what delicious have you made! I've been hungry for it in the school recently, and the snacks you made for me last time were snatched up by them as soon as they came, and I didn't even have to eat much! Xia Maihe said with a resentful face.

Xia Maihe's focus was different from that of his eldest brother, his eyes stared straight at the bamboo basket carried by Xia Cao, and his saliva almost flowed down.

Judging from past experience, as soon as my sister came to see them, she had a basket of snacks to follow.

"Zongzi! I made you rice dumplings in advance! Second brother, I know that you are often hungry at night, so I will fill your stomach. Xia Cao said quietly.

"This time, I'm going to hide it, and I can't be robbed by them anymore. Sister, what you made is so delicious, the fried chicken nuggets and grilled chicken wings last time were so fragrant, they looked for the fragrance, and when I went to take a bath, they ate it all. I haven't had time to eat a few pieces yet? The eldest brother didn't stop their group of foodies when he saw it! When are you going to do it for me again? Xia Maihe said, and secretly complained in front of his mother and Xia Cao.

Xia Cao also knew who the second brother was referring to, it was the group of friends in Wusu Town, Li Tang, Fu Bowen, Li Mingyang, and Li Mingxuan. It's strange to say that although they are two mornings older than the Xia family brothers, the Xia family brothers originally had a foundation, so they were divided into the same class by father and son, and as for Li Tang, the guy who suspended school halfway, insisted on squeezing into the same class.

At the beginning, Li Jin was still not admitted to Wenshan Academy, and his foundation was a little thinner, and he worked hard for a year before he was admitted to the academy. Now he is preparing for next year's spring festival in the academy. However, when he was admitted to the academy, Li Weicai also helped him to arrange family affairs, and now although he is still a student, he is also the father of a three-year-old doll.

As for Li Jin, Li Man and the others were admitted to Wenshan Academy three years ago with the advantage of archery skills, and they were also admitted to Wenshan Academy with the qualification of special enrollment, and next year, Chunyu should also follow the eldest brother.

Their group of Wusu Town school, or Sister Lihua's prodigy is powerful, the original poor Xiucai, and in the spring a few years ago, he had a smooth journey and went straight to Jinshi, and now he has become a county lady in a small county town in Jinling City. Sister Ewha was also taken to his side.

However, Xia Cao heard that because Sister Pear Blossom couldn't give birth to a son for a long time and only had one daughter, her mother-in-law was not very good to her. Especially after Yang Jiayang became the county magistrate, her mother-in-law felt more and more that Pear Blossom was not worthy of such an excellent son of her own, and wanted to divorce his wife and remarry, so that his son could take care of a family with a knowledgeable book.

However, Sister Lihua is also more tough, Yang Jiayang's entrance exam in Beijing, the cost of going to school was all paid by her mother's family, and now Yang Jiayang has made it, and her in-laws want to leave her no way.

Yang Jiayang, who has sandwich biscuits, because his mother's health is not very good, and he was raised by his mother, asks Sister Lihua to be more accommodating on weekdays. But he still loves pear blossoms, but compared with his mother, this love is biased.

Xia Cao made food, and when she sent it, she also took their amount into account, but unfortunately she often underestimated the combat effectiveness of this group of teenagers, and the amount of snacks for a few days was wiped out overnight. Xia Qiaomu felt sorry for the hard work of Xia Cao, so he didn't say that they didn't have enough to eat.

"Want to eat? Wait a minute. I'll make it for you! ”

"Wait a minute? Sister, aren't you going back to the village today? (To be continued.) )
