Chapter 66 Naturalization

The large round wooden basin, full of ink-colored water waves, is like a large ink washing bowl.

Zhou Kai, the little baby who was carried out of the water by false words, was as white as snow, and the black water droplets slid down from his body, falling to the surface of the water and splashing one by one.

Zhou Kai was still having fun, his bulging calves like lotus root knots kept kicking, and his little voice was about to howl, and Man Yun, who was on the side, draped a big cotton cloth on his body.

After a while, Zhou Kai's little temper was not at all, and he was lying on the soft bed honestly with his naked little body, enjoying the careful massage that the false words did for him.

From the delicate neck to the pouting buttocks, and then along the little arms to the tips of each finger...... The movements of the false words are smooth and gentle.

If it weren't for the fact that Man Yun had seen the master's apprehension when he hugged Zhou Kai for the first time, he would have been a wet nurse serving the child, and he would have to be an old qualification for many years.

"I look at Master like that, as if he is Brother Kai's father!" , who was responsible for pouring Zhou Kai's bath water, leaned over to Man Yun with the empty basin, and whispered provocatively. The sourness in his mouth was like an urn of aged vinegar that had just been drunk.

Zhou Manyun glanced at him fiercely.

Maybe it's because Zhou Kai is the same as False Yan is a child born after using Golden Crow Nunnery, and Man Yun also clearly feels his partiality for Zhou Kai.

The kitten, who is a few years older than Brother Kai, has a disabled leg that needs orthopedics, but the master only taught the technique to Bai Lu, Xiaoman and others, and then left it alone. But for Zhou Kai, he lied from the beginning of his life. Not to mention anything else, every day of bathing and massage has never been faked by others. I don't want others to get the medicine by mistake. It sounds magnificent, but it doesn't make sense to study it carefully.

"Maybe Master really likes Brother Kai very much." Man Yun replied softly, his eyes staring at the master who was neatly putting on his brother's clothes and pants, stunned. In his previous life, Xu Ne had never married a wife and had children, and the rumors of betraying his friends and dying were weird, which made people think that he was extremely terrifying, but now the master in front of him makes people feel so gentle that they are scared to death.

On the other side, Lie Yan was explaining to Bai Lu, who came to pick up the child, about the precautions that he had said many times.

"Stop using that little candle to tie Brother Kai'er's hands and feet, the weather is getting warmer. He should be more active, but the adults are just a little tired......"

Bai Lu pursed her lips and answered with a smile, and only after waiting for the nonsense to be wordy did she ask with a smile: "Dao Chief!" Grandma is going back to Yanzhou tomorrow, I don't know how to prepare the medicine she said she was going to bring on the road a few days ago? ”

The eldest grandmother mentioned in Bai Lu's mouth is Du Shanshan's sister-in-law Jiang. This time, the Jiang family returned to Yanzhou, preparing a light car and a simple follower, and the grain and grass naturally could not be carried. Zhou Xian also prepared some soft and soft medicines as a gift in return, and falsely prepared some special medicines.

A small brown package was carried around Manyun's arm, and she followed behind her younger brother Bai Lu and said goodnight to Master. Left the small courtyard where the apprentice lived.

"Bai Luyan, it's good that you can stay this time!". Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Man Yun handed the package in his hand to Xiao Man, who was waiting for the lantern. Holding Bai Lu's clothes, he said coquettishly.

This sentence. Man Yun said sincerely, Bai Lu, who he saw in a hurry in his previous life, was filial piety, and he didn't know what he had experienced, and he didn't know if something bad had happened to Xuanshuang. But this time, Bai Lu and his wife stayed in Jiangnan. If a little change can leave one more couple in this world who can share their heads, Man Yun feels great.

"My second brother and I are afraid that we will end up in Jiangnan! The mother-in-law can only be taken care of by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Bai Lu sighed lightly. Among a bunch of Du family's personal soldiers, the first to be determined to follow the Du family should be the husband and wife, and Xuanshuang's eldest brother Du Xuanfeng is going to follow the Jiang family back to Yanzhou.

"Uncle Xuanfeng's wife is from Yanzhou?" , Man Yun suddenly understood the reason why the Du family brothers were separated like this. The eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are in Yanzhou, and the second son and second daughter-in-law stay in Jiangnan, which can be regarded as a proper arrangement.

"Yes! The sister-in-law is the grandmother's maiden niece, and she is very capable and virtuous! ”

"Huh! Seriously? Man Yun tilted his little head in surprise. Although the Du brothers are also petty officers in the army, their background is only the son of Du's nurse. I heard that the Jiang family's maiden family was also a Yanzhou general, and his background was much stronger than that of the Du brothers.

This family affair shows that Du Xuanfeng is a little high. Du Xuanfeng married a lady from an official family, and Bai Lu, who was born as an orphan girl, must have trouble getting along, from this point of view, it is right for the two of them to come to Jiangnan. After acting on his own, Man Yun lowered his head and stopped talking.

Hearing the suspicion in Man Yun's tone, Bai Lu lowered his head and straightened Zhou Kai's small cloak and hat, and said softly: "Sister-in-law is really very haode!" When my sister meets her in Yanzhou, she will know. ”。

There are some things that Bai Lu can't talk about clearly. Du Xuanfeng's wife Jiang Juying was able to marry Du Xuanfeng because Xuanfeng was appreciated by Du Jiang's two generals, but partly because Jiang Juying was dumb when she was young. Although the dumb sister-in-law has a disability, she gets along with her eldest brother and is still loving.

"Bai Lu Yanyan!" , Man Yun deliberately raised the volume and said happily: "Anyway, when you and Uncle Xuanshuang settle down in Huocheng, you will be from Huocheng." ”

"yes!" , Bai Lu also nodded with a smile.

When the Jiang family came south, the Du family's soldiers who wanted to stay in Jiangnan brought identity documents, and when they crossed the road in Huocheng County, they would be able to get rid of the Yandi military household and become the sons of the Huo Cheng Liang family with eight hundred children. For the Zhou clan, who can still press the official office to do things, this is not a matter at all.

It's just that after Zhou Xian talked with the Jiang family in detail, he suggested that the Du family sent by the Jiang family should be divided into batches, and different people should be asked to delay the handling one by one, and it does not have to be in Huocheng, and the specific operation should be carried out after the Jiang family leaves.

Zhou Xian's arrangement, Man Yun also knows. She admired the old man's caution, but she couldn't be happy at the thought of being guarded against by her grandfather.

"Master, I don't know how to fill it out yet?" , Thinking of the few documents that Bai Lu had just brought to the falsehood, Man Yun felt worried in his heart.

Five or six identity documents that made Man Yun worry about them. It was on the table in the Forgotten Room.

The shadow of the lamp flickered, and the pale yellow paper was written. The ink in a few empty places was reflected on the faces of the master and apprentice sitting at the table opposite. It's hazy.

"The Du family is also very interesting!" , Xuyan picked up a document on the table, looked at it twice, and put it down with a smile.

Zhou Manyun's maternal grandfather, General Du, is Hengcheng, and the word Hengcheng is still a royal gift, and the commendation is that he guards the border for the country and is like a strong city. originally thought that he should be a square and serious loyal general, but looking at the documents he asked his daughter-in-law to get from Jiangnan, he knew it. This city is quite strong on the outside, but it is still a hole on the inside.

With the identity certificate of the Du family's own soldiers, it was not one for one person, but a dozen blank documents for the Yanzhou Metropolitan Defense Army, and even the big seal of the yamen of various prefectures and counties, some of which were not from Yanzhou, but went to Youzhou, Anzhou and other places.

The few pieces that Du Xuanfeng gave to him as a favor are divided into different boundaries.

"What we are using now is not a household registration document, but a degree in the southwest state. Hanging on the moraine rock seven star view. It's not very convenient for you to dress up all the time, after all, when you grow up. If you want to marry a wife and have children in the Chen Dynasty, it will be more troublesome. Again, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty is now taking advantage of the assassination of Puji Temple last year to summon the remnants of the south in the whole territory.

Count me too much. Maybe Chen Chaozhong also has someone who has a connection with those who fly the flag of restoration but don't know what they want to do, and the target of the investigation may not be you. So. The gift given by the Du family can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow. ”

Listen carefully to the explanations of the falsehoods. Forget to flatten his mouth, and replied in a muffled voice: "If you can't keep it, people are looking for you!" ”

"That's right! I'm much more useful than you! He raised his eyebrows, pulled a blank piece of paper casually, lifted the pen, and put it on the ink paper.

The paperwork was checked again, and Zuihou only left two on the table, he bent his fingers and knocked on the table, got up and said, "Boy! I wrote two people's names and birth years, you can look at it and fill it in! Remember to be careful, write properly, and don't write for me. For the rest, I'll keep it useful. ”

The curtain hanging on the door of the room shook gently with the end of the false words, and the oblivion puffed out his cheeks, and spat out a turbid breath at the pen and paper on the table!

The names of the people on the paper who had not yet dried suddenly caught their eyes, and their eyes widened when they forgot to speak......

"Xu Ne? Xu Yu? If that kid wants to be surnamed Xu, he will be surnamed Xu! Standing solemnly under the eaves, through the window, he looked at the figure of the young man who was writing seriously, and lowered his eyes.

Two men surnamed Xu from Yuping County, Anzhou, will move to Huocheng for naturalization. The rivers and mountains of the family and the name of the clan, compared with Zhou Xian's persistence in asking Zhou Kai to be included in the spectrum, is really ashamed! Listening to the kid who had already settled down to call Xu Yu to cheer stupidly in the room, he leaned against the wall with a mixed heart.

On March 17, Chiang's motortrip back to Yanzhou set off from the Banshan Courtyard of the Zhou family in Huocheng.

A series of convoys and the hundreds of horsemen guarding them, as when they came, were quite loud, attracting the attention of the people who sent them openly or covertly.

The convoy of 100 people walked out of the boundary of Huocheng, turned around a secluded mountain bay, and Jiang, who received the report from the outpost, stepped out of the car.

The skirt when she and a few maids around her set off had been changed into a bearded dress with narrow sleeves and a waist, and the hairpin rings on her head and body had been taken off cleanly.

"The team branches will be scattered into the villages according to the agreement with Mr. Zhou. Brothers who returned to Yanzhou, one ride and three horses......"

Following Du Xuanfeng's instructions, the scattered convoys headed in different directions, and the Du family's personal soldiers, who were determined to stay in Huocheng, turned over and dismounted, and said goodbye to the Jiang family and others who were returning to the north. Most of them gave up their horses to the team returning to Yanzhou, and then they had to change their clothes and return to Huocheng and several small villages around them one after another.

Except for Xuanshuang Bailu and others, who stayed in the Mid-Levels Courtyard to follow the Du family, they secretly stayed according to the arrangement of Zhou Xian and the Jiang family.

My sister-in-law can only do her best here. The top priority is to return to Yanzhou as soon as possible and bring Elder Zhou's special explanation to his father.

Jiang Shi looked at Huo Mountain, which was still faintly visible, pulled out the horse's head, and shouted: "We, go!" ”。

Under Jiang's order, a small team of no more than twenty people galloped north, to rush to the Qingyuan Qilang Ferry, which had already made an appointment for a ferry, as soon as possible! (To be continued......)
