It's not really much to write a letter for a penny, even if the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all taken out by the owner of the restaurant almost at a price for free, it is not a good thing, so many people come down, it is estimated that they will not even be able to earn back the capital.

Chu Hao wrote letters much faster than Ruan Bai. Whether it is writing skills or experience, he is completely superior to Ruan Bai.

Even so, two people wrote until the sky was slightly dark, and there were many people who did not write later.

Ruan Bai stood up and arched his hand nondescriptly: "Brothers, I'm sorry, it's not early, my brothers have to rush back, if there is still a letter to write, it will have to be a few days." ”

He didn't set a date because he didn't know when he would be available next. Waiting for the spring to begin will definitely not work, and he is not sure of the rest time of these people. Chu Hao is a thousand households, and in addition to celebrating festivals during the New Year, he also rushes to the military camp almost every day. Of course, he left early almost every day.

When the people in the back heard him say this, they were all disappointed, and they complained a few words, most of which were aimed at coming late. Besides, they have never seen such a cheap letter writer, and the people who write letters to them are adults, and the people they have met in the past are all down-and-out scholars, and the cheapest is ten yuan, which is not counting pen and ink money.

With Chu Hao pressing the formation, the people quickly dispersed.

Tian Kaifu stretched his waist without any image, twisted his neck again, and felt better, and sighed: "Alas, I'm old." This is still sitting, and I used to stand and write big characters all day every day, and I didn't feel too tired. ”

When he said this, Chu Hao was shocked: "Where are you?" He looked left and right, and understood that Tian Kaifu was sitting on the other side, and he was separated by such a person just now, of course he couldn't see anything.

Tian Kaifu rolled his eyes, looking at Chu Hao like a little guy, helping Ruan Bai to clean up a bunch of scattered things, Ruan Bai scolded as if he was wilting, and drank the hot water brought by the shopkeeper of the restaurant in small sips.

"Except for your second brother, where can you see others?" Tian Kaifu muttered in a low voice. To be honest, even if he had loved Chu Hao before, he hadn't thought about what it would be like if he was really with Chu Hao. The two of them grew up together almost since childhood, and he always felt that maybe it would be like that in the future, maybe it would be closer, after all, the son of the world is always the son, and he will be the prince in the future, and he will inevitably marry a wife and have children...... Now it seems that he has taken Chu Hao lightly.

Some people have lived together for more than ten years, but they are not as good as knowing each other for more than ten days.

Chu Hao didn't get angry when he heard it, he just smiled and looked down at Ruan Bai.

Ruan Bai's face was hot when he saw it, and he moved his butt and stood up: "Pack it up, go home quickly." ”

"What about them?" He didn't see the ox cart when he came.

The cattle of the Huns were larger than those of the Zhou, and the long hair of the hovering horns once aroused the onlookers of the people in the city. Now I am used to it, but the bullock cart is still very conspicuous.

"They'll go back after shopping." Ruan Bai squinted, yawned, hugged the money bag handed over by Chu Hao with both hands, and smiled, "It's quite heavy." ”

Chu Hao looked at him, and could only touch his head helplessly: "I'm quite happy that the business is doing well." ”

Ruan Bai tilted his head and shook the hand above his head away: "This is not a business, this is a public welfare activity, humanistic care." ”

"Okay, whatever you want." Chu Hao turned over on his horse, stretched out his hand and pulled Ruan Bai up, hugged him in front of him, and began to interrogate the little prisoner, "Don't keep saying these unintelligible words, what is the purpose of directly saying it?" ”

The little prisoner gathered Chu Hao's cloak, comfortably nested on Chu Hao's chest, and rubbed: "I still want to plant saplings." ”

Although the money came a little bit roundabout, firstly, the majority of the soldiers received practical benefits, and secondly, they did not let the imperial court pay for it, and when the time came, it was completely possible for the soldiers to come by planting saplings. If the court's money is not good, what can the court be unhappy about.

Moreover, he also wants to start a private business. In fact, in the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the post station, it is only stated that the post station has the responsibility to deliver the letter, but whether the letter is official or civil is not clearly specified. Many ordinary people send letters, most of them are villagers who want to go back, or some businessmen who often travel back and forth between the two places. The inconvenience of this does not need to be elaborated at all.

Chu Hao is a person who understands everything, and immediately thought: "The money taken out by so many soldiers is indeed different from paying directly by yourself." You and Brother Tian are still officials, but this time you can change the credit for a small achievement, such a small profit, and the adults above can't look down on it. ”

He said in other words, but who else could think of this thought but Ruan Bai? Not to mention other cities, even in ordinary towns, most of them have people who can write letters on their behalf, but there is no one in Shunyang Pass.

As a purely military fortress, although there are some basic civilian facilities and some common people live in them, the rest is completely incompatible. How many years has Shunyang Pass been standing, and I have never heard that a soldier can directly carry a letter home.

The three of them rode much faster than the ox cart, and by the time they returned to the deserted post, it was already completely dark.

Zhang Daniu was guarding the gate of the courtyard, heard the sound of horses' hooves from afar, quickly opened the gate, and led the three people in with torches, Tang Xinhou closed the door in the back, took the reins of the two horses, and said, "Three adults, hurry up and eat." ”

Tang Xinhou was taking care of the livestock, and the two horses were also familiar with him and followed obediently.

When you open the door, you're in another world, and the firelight and the sound of people are gradually ringing out.

Chu Hao took Ruan Bai back to the bedroom first.

Tian Kaifu followed behind and looked at it, slightly sad.

In the blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and all the men and women in the desert were busy. Everyone made dumplings together, and it was like a world war. However, some people are obviously not good at it, and they still think that they are very good, and they do not accept other people's opinions at all.

Tian Kaifu is the most of them, and he also led a series of diehards such as Xu Liu and Pan Daning, and even Li Niang quietly joined them, and was caught by Yun Gu and shouted unconvincedly: "As long as the dumplings can be eaten, it doesn't matter what it looks like!" ”

"That's it, put it down and cook, it will never break!" Tian Kaifu firmly defended the team members and handed out the "dumplings" that were wrapped in three skins before they were pasted.

The people in the desert post are not very old, and they have spent a lot of time with each other, and they are usually a little estranged, but when the young people go crazy, who can care about who is an adult and who is a villain?

Chu Hao and Ruan Bai shrank in another corner outside the battlefield. Chu Hao's control of force is simply amazing, even if it is the first time to roll skins, he can quickly grasp the essentials, and soon it becomes three skins at a time.

Ruan Bai was making dumplings quickly, Yun Gu and Aunt Ma originally saw Chu Hao rolling the skin quickly, and wanted to come over and make it together, but they found that Ruan Bai made dumplings faster, and his fingers were like turning flowers, and his eyes were dizzy after looking at it for a while.

"You keep two skins and give me a bag."

"Not much."

"You pack slowly, what do you mean it's not much?" He rolls out skins much faster than others! Look at how well-proportioned and round.

Ruan Bai added: "There is not much to spoil for you." He put the evidence on the table in front of Chu Hao. Five or six dumpling skins are almost broken into fifty or sixty sheets, how many skins do you need to wrap into a dumpling? Tian Kaifu can do it with three cards.

Chu Hao's old face turned red, he kneaded the corpse-shaped skin, kneaded it into the dough, and looked at the companion who was qualified to make dumplings very unpleasantly, and yelled: "Lao Tian, you go and chop the stuffing!" ”

Tian Kaifu usually listens to Chu Hao, but it is lively at this time, who cares if you are a son or a thousand households, don't listen! "There is a big tiger in chopping stuffing!"

The former butcher wielded two kitchen knives like a whirlwind, as efficient as a meat grinder.

Yun Gu glanced at it every two times: "Okay, okay, it's too broken to chop again." ”

I have to say that there is a lot of power in numbers, even if there are so many people making trouble, the dumplings are still made quickly.

Yun Gu didn't pack a few by herself, but she was more tired than herself, so she commanded to keep the dumplings for this meal and put the rest in the yard to freeze: "Put it higher, don't let the big fat and little fat get enough!" ”

The two big dogs are sensible, and they can understand it simply two or three times, and sometimes they can see how others do it, and they will see how they do it. But the two puppies are really ...... It used to look quite fun, fluffy and chubby, but now it's long, it will jump up and down, and wherever it can go, almost all over their tooth marks and dog paw prints, but the two fat people have done bad things and don't realize it at all, wagging their tails and begging for praise, even if they are taught by Ruan Bai that they can't eat, they also have a dog father who protects their cubs and will hide meat for them to eat.

From time to time, the third and fourth children will go out to catch rabbits and voles or something, and I don't know where they came from, one is fatter than the other. Once Pan Daning was fun, and followed the third child to dig out the vole's nest and dig out a lot of food.

Another highlight of the Chinese New Year is the festival.

The conditions are limited, and I can't be more elaborate. In the afternoon, an incense case was placed in the courtyard, and Chu Hao presided over the sacrifice.

There was no ceremonial dress for the sacrifice, Chu Hao just changed into a dress that Yun Gu had washed in advance, and the end of the shelf looked solemn.

Ruan Bai looked at Chu Hao like this as if he was looking at another person, and began to believe that this person really had the ability to make people fall in love at first sight. His aesthetics must have been damaged by the modern popular beautiful men, and Chu Hao is the real male masculine beauty. Even though he didn't wield a sword or sword, he just recited some prayers that he didn't understand.

"Why are you crying?" A slightly cold finger swept across Ruan Bai's face, accompanied by Chu Hao's worried face, "Remembering your father and brother?" ”

Ruan Bai blinked and looked up with a pair of teary eyes, silent.

Chu Hao was at a loss, and took the person into his arms and patted him: "Don't be afraid, I am your brother, and my brother's father and mother will be your father and mother in the future." ”
