With Cui Ping's tears, Situ Yan finally took the meal. Maybe she was really in a hurry, maybe she saw Wu Jin'an, her heart finally let go, anyway, now Situ Yan really feels a little tired. After the meal, he was no longer polite to Wu Jin, and fell asleep directly on the kang.

Situ Yan actually made Wu Jin a little worried, I was afraid that this little sister would work too hard all the way, and she was afraid that she was going to get sick, and she didn't dare to leave, so she stayed by Situ Yan's side, looking at this little sister who was sleeping, Situ Yan felt strange to Wu Jin for a while, and even judged the two of them when they separated three years ago. However, he knew that this person who had traveled thousands of miles to find relatives for his useless brother was the little girl who liked to stick behind him three years ago.

Wu Jin looked at Situ Yan intently, his expression was happy and sad. Li Youzhu and Cui Ping gathered happily in the stove, they were happy that the eldest lady really ran to the northwest in order to find the eldest young master, but after the joy, they couldn't help but feel sad for the two brothers and sisters, such a good person, but to suffer this sin. And with the current ability of the eldest young master, it is impossible to protect the eldest lady thoroughly, how will you live in the future?

And the bolt was sitting in the courtyard at this time, staring at the snow wolf with big eyes, helping Situ Yan and Wu Jin guard the door. Situ Yan didn't let the snow wolves go out to forage for food before going to bed, after all, they were new to the area and were not familiar with this area. And this is not an ordinary village, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no people who are good at riding and shooting, if the snow wolf is shot as a wild wolf, then she must not cry to death, so only throw two chickens to the snow wolf, let it eat enough to guard the door for her. She can sleep peacefully, after all, there is still a person who wants her life all the time. In the same yard, but a few families are happy and a few are sad!

Situ Yan slept until the end of the unitary hour before waking up. Seeing that it was already dark, there was only one oil lamp lit in the house, not to mention the dimness, the cold wind passed through the worn window paper, and the lamp was blowing brightly and darkly. Situ Yan felt like she had returned to Lijia Village and Li Dalang for the night when they went out to live alone, and she lived in such a dilapidated house at that time, not only laughing at herself. "It seems that our Situ Yan doesn't have the life to live in a big house! Well, let's accept our fate! ”

At this time, Cui Ping was guarding Situ Yan and saw that she was awake. Busy going to fetch water and wash her, and brought some food, Situ Yan asked where Wu Jin had gone, and knew that he was called by Wu De. I didn't ask any more questions. After eating a full meal and drinking a sip of water, he sat in the room and learned about the situation here from Li Youzhu and the plug.

After all, she still doesn't know anything about the ancient army, although she has read some history books, but this is not a dynasty written in history books, not to mention that it is impossible to introduce so much in history books.

Under this question, I learned that Wu Jin became a military household because he was involved by Wu Delian, so he didn't need to practice martial arts. But they have to cultivate the military fields and raise war horses. Because only one person in the military family needs to be a soldier. If Wu De dies, Wu Jin will take Wu De's place.

Of course, this kind of military land is also divided into good and bad, and the natural fields that come from the "stack collection" (good nationality (civilian) service and conscription) are all high-quality fields, while those who are "attached" (referring to submission and obedience) are generally planted medium or inferior fields. And like Wu De, who is "famous", not to mention the high-grade field, even the medium field can not be divided, can only plant some low-grade fields or go to the wasteland by themselves, and the military households are allocated arable land according to the number of people, as little as 3, 50 acres, and more than 100 acres, Wu De's household has Wu Jin and bolts, so it is necessary to plant 100 acres of military land (women in military households are not counted as Ding. ）。 Moreover, one stone of grain must be paid per mu of cultivated land, and the more can be used for one's own use, but it is not allowed to be bought and sold, and the few can be paid with money, and those who cannot be handed over must be punished, and the light will be whipped, and the car will be cracked. Because in ancient times, the chariots and horses did not move the grain and grass first, so the grain, grass, carts and horses were more important than people.

Moreover, a team also needs to raise twenty war horses, and a tun is two hundred. Moreover, there is a clear provision in the "public horses" that all the soldiers who feed the war horses must not only repair the carriages, but also if one horse is lost, one person in the army will be punished.

In addition, each soldier can get 3 buckets of black noodles and 50 wen per month, and because only one person in the military family is a soldier, all the food and drink expenses of everyone in the family come from here, and life is not easy. The commander of the army gets 50 more wen per month than the soldiers, and the rest is the same as the soldiers. Of course, there will be some unfairness in this, such as the death and injury of the war horse, and the punishment will never be the captain or the chief, but only the big soldiers under his command.

Situ Yan also learned that along with Wu De, there were also three waiters from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites and their families, and together with Wu De's family, they were all under the control of a Wu chief surnamed Tian. And this Tian Wu Chang is a good citizen who has been gathered from the battlements as a military household, so it is naturally much better than these sinful bodies of them.

Situ Yan listened to Youzhu and the bolt's words, and was making calculations in her heart, when she saw Wu Jin push the door and walk in.

Situ Yan hurriedly stood up from the kang and pulled Wu Jin to sit on the side of the kang, "Brother, are you back, I just have something to discuss with you?" ”

"Father, you don't have to worry. Whatever he wants, I won't let him hurt you in the slightest!" Wu Jingang was found by Wu De, of course, there was some questioning and dispute, thinking that the little sister was worried about this, so she wanted to discuss with him.

"Huh!?" Situ Yan didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it, she understood what Wu Jin meant, "Brother, what I'm thinking about is not this, and what he wants to do is none of my business, what I want to discuss with you is your own business!" ”

"My business?" This time, Wu Jinfa was changed.

"That's right! I wanted to pay a visit to the Commander, and it happened that the mule cart was carrying some wine, which was just right for worship! Situ Yan still has some things to figure out, and wants to go to Captain Wu to inquire again.

"It's okay, there are more people in this team, and I want to go to the captain to inform him. It's just a pity that you brought these good wines, and the chief of the Tian Wu is not a person who can be deeply acquainted, why don't we go again tomorrow morning? I still have a lot to ask? ”

"Brother! The two of us are going to live together in the future, when can't we talk, what is there when you come back, you can ask again, I am in a hurry to see the captain now, and I will sleep if I don't go to the house. And I have something in my heart, and I just woke up, if I don't ask tonight, where can I sleep well this night? And I only went to inquire, and I didn't want to have a relationship with that Wu Changpan. As long as he can solve the doubts in my heart, this wine will not be given away in vain! Wu Jin couldn't stand Situ Yan's coquettishness, so he had to clean it up. Accompany her to Tian Wuchang's house.

Situ Yan also changed back into women's clothes, although she was 9 years old, according to the previous rules, if there was no urgency, or accompanied by elders, she was not allowed to go out. Even if you can't go out, you have to wear a hood on your head. Cover your face. But now that it is in this place, where will the military family have these particularities, Situ Yan naturally follows the customs. Wu Jin blamed himself for a long time, but Situ Yan persuaded him for a while, and the two of them went out with a jar of water and wine.

Wu Jin held the wine jar in one hand, and pulled Situ Yan in the other, and he didn't walk fast. All the way to the direction of Tunkou. The snow wolf followed behind Situ Yan. It's like a bodyguard, "Yan'er, your Tibetan mastiff is very well raised and loyal." ”

"Sometimes beasts are stronger than humans, and my snow wolf is my wordless comrade-in-arms!" Wu Jin was able to pick up the snow wolf so quickly, and Situ Yan was also very happy in her heart.

"What is a comrade-in-arms?" Wu Jin was a little confused by the new terms that Situ Yan popped up from time to time.

"It's a word I overheard, and it means something like a friend who lives and dies." Situ Yan explained. On the one hand, I secretly kept a heart, such a new word is still rarely used. Otherwise, with Wu Jin's cleverness, he may soon recognize her identity.

"That makes sense!" Wu Jin nodded in agreement, and after the two walked for a while, they saw a courtyard, and there was a thatched main house in the courtyard, although it was not as good as the house built by Situ Yan in Lijia Village, it was much better than the one where Wu Jin lived.

"Tian Wuchang's house has arrived, Yan'er, why don't you tell me what you want to ask, or I'll ask myself, and you can go back first?" Wu Jin hesitated, he was reluctant to go to see Tian Wuchang.

"I'm not a kid anymore, brother should believe me! And I have a doubt, even if my brother goes, he can't solve my doubt? Situ Yan probably guessed Wu Jin's concerns, so she insisted on going together.

"Okay!" Wu Jin glanced at his little sister helplessly, and then knocked on the courtyard door, "Is Chief Tian Wu at home?" I'm Wu Jin! ”

"It's coming!" The answer was a middle-aged woman's voice, which sounded a little hoarse, and it should be an old smoking gun. The man opened the courtyard door and did not invite anyone in, but covered his mouth with his hand and smiled, "Ouch! Who else should I be, it turned out to be the eldest young master of the Wu family! What kind of wind blew you here, our family temple is small, but we can't tolerate your big Buddha! You better ask the minions to come and say hello, I will let the master go and say hello to you! ”

At this time, it was already dark, and this person had his back to the light, Situ Yan couldn't see her expression clearly, but as soon as she met, she couldn't help but be a little angry, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry, and even more because Wu Jin was not worthy, if it wasn't for Wu De's burden, her brother would still be his eldest young master in the capital at this time, how could she be idle here.

Wu Jin kept pulling Situ Yan, and naturally felt that her breath was unstable, and suppressed the voice in the little sister's ear, "Little sister, don't be angry, this person is Tian Wuchang's wife, today's father offended this Tian Wuchang when he was working, and he will say something unbearable!" ”

"Why is it him again, it's not enough to burden you once, I can't live this day without leaving him!" Situ Yan was angry in her heart, but she didn't say anything, but blocked Wu Jin behind her, and stood a step forward, "Aunt Tian, look at what you said, my brother is just a military household now, and there is no master or young master here!" ”

"Yo, where are you, you look like you're a clever and sensible person?"

"Aunt Tian, I am Wu Jin's sister, I just arrived here this afternoon, I learned that Tian Wuchang has been taking good care of my brother, and I came to thank him, but I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything good, and I didn't pay tribute to a jar of water and wine!"

As the saying goes, "Reach out and don't hit the smiling person!" "Situ Yan is a salute and a gift, this Aunt Tian is angry in her heart, and she will not compete with a child.

"This Wu family is really smart, yes! My heart has softened when you call Aunt Tian, don't stand at the door, if you have anything to say in the house! ”

"Aunt Tian, you are a bodhisattva at first glance!" Situ Yan smiled and followed Aunt Tian into the main room. Let the snow wolf wait outside the courtyard. Wu Jin has been looking at the little sister, such a little sister is very strange to him, but his heart is dripping blood, I don't know how much the little sister has suffered, the little sister who used to be weak and gentle, but now it has become so sophisticated, if it is not for too many tribulations, where will a person's temperament change to this.

Entering the main house, Situ Yan glanced at the structure of the house, different from the house in the northeast, the house here is a little similar to what Situ Yan built when he was in Lijia Village, the main house is a living room, there is a room on the left and right sides, and the second room should be next to the stove room, but it is too dark at this time to see clearly. It's just a smell that comes out.

There is no kang in the main room, only two tables, a high-legged round table, four stools, at this time there is a middle-aged man nearly 50 years old is sitting in the center, a burlap clothes, although washed a little old, but there are not many patches, burly, it can be seen that he has practiced martial arts. On the left and right sat two men, one who looked to be about 25 years old, and the other who was supposed to have just performed the crown ceremony. Fifty percent of the elderly and middle-aged people are similar. It should be the man's two sons.

There is a low square table next to the round table, and there are also four stools, the main seat of the square table is empty, it should be the seat of this Aunt Tian, and there is a woman sitting on the left, 22 or 23, and on the right is a little girl, who looks about 2 or 3 years old.

Situ Yan had already seen from the age of these people who was Tian Wuchang, and hurriedly stepped forward with Wu Jin to salute, "Wu Jin has seen Tian Wuchang!" This is a housemate! ”

"I've seen Uncle Tian!" Situ Yan is not as pedantic and old as Wu Jin, and she is not a soldier, nor is she under the control of this Wu commander, so she is naturally called more kindly.

"You are Wu Jin's sister, but you are not among the people who came this time?"

"She's only here this afternoon! This girl is smart, but she is much better than her old man! Before Situ Yan could reply, Aunt Tian helped her reply.

"Yes, I only got here this afternoon!" Situ Yan smiled at Aunt Tian who helped her speak, and then turned her head and continued to introduce herself to Tian Wuchang, "Long before the Wu Mansion incident, Wu De already denied me as a daughter, and the early death of my late mother was also because of him, so in order to avenge my mother's kindness, I followed my mother when I left the house, changed my surname to Situ, and became an 'orphan and young household'. But now that I think about it, I didn't leave like my brother who was dragged down by Wu De, but now I think about it, it's a blessing in disguise! Because Wu Jin was present, Situ Yan couldn't make up lies, so he had to tell the truth. It is precisely because of her honesty and that, like Tian Wuchang's family, she called Wu De by her name, but won the favor of Tian Wuchang's family. That's how things go next.
