Chapter 111: Expansion of the Army
Huating County.
The strange atmosphere permeated Zhuangyuan Alley, where the Qian clan people whispered from time to time, and passers-by often exchanged tacit glances with each other.
Most people don't know exactly what the rumored young man of the Qian family who was lost in Jiaxing Mansion did, but they all know that that person is not dead, and he has won another lottery.
Last time, it was the great Confucian Zhenchuan Gong who praised Qian Yuan, and this time he wrote down the only remaining Wenheng Mountain of the "Four Great Talents of Wuzhong".
The most important thing is that the imperial court rewarded the Tan family's seven ranks, except for his son Qian Yuan, there can be no other reason.
Even so, the Qian family remained indifferent, and in this era, the meaning of the family was by no means comparable to that of later generations, even if they were at a loss.
Of course, not everyone is stupid.
"Don't say it's borrowing, even if you want two inkstones, what's the matter?" Qian Mu Fan forced her composure, "Seven rank of people, Huating County is not uncommon!" ”
"Except for the two brothers Qian Rui and Qian Zheng, you should find someone with grade in the clan to show me." Qian Zhong said disdainfully: "Borrow ...... You say it's borrowing, but others may not see it that way! ”
"Those clan elders are in front, what are we afraid of...... Fan whispered: "That set of mahogany furniture is in the hands of the third elder of the long house, and the two inkstones are a trivial matter." ”
Qian Zhong is the youngest grandson of Hetan Gong, he has not been able to study since he was a child, and he is not willing to run a business, let alone go out to do business, but he has been messing around on the street all the year round, and he has a lot of experience with people.
"It is said that Brother Yuan'er's temperament has changed, and he is as gentle as jade...... Bullshit! Qian Zhong sneered: "It used to be unforgiving, but now it is unforgiving, and his temperament is even more cold than before, either don't do it, or do it." ”
"The reputation of this guy in Hangzhou City...... Tsk, none of the Zhang family and the Jin family have a good end......"
"It's just two inkstones, what's there to be reluctant to?" Qian Zhong lazily slumped on the rattan chair, humming while shaking the pu fan, "It's better to send it back." ”
didn't hear his wife's reply, Qian Zhong turned over and said with a smile: "Anyway, Lao Tzu's words are here, whatever you want......"
"Yu'er likes those two inkstones, and said that she will use ...... in this year's government test"
Qian Zhong yawned and turned over again, "The second room of the long room is shameless to cheat the silver and rob a lot of good things, but you must know that Brother Yuan and we are new and old hatreds......"
"Send it back, then?" Fan was a little worried, she was also present at the family breakup that year, and the family's face was torn.
There was a snoring sound from the rattan chair.
……
Tan took his daughter-in-law and daughter to move to his younger sibling's house as early as a month ago, and the four women were in panic all day long, and they were afraid all day long, on the one hand, because of the Japanese attack on the city, and on the other hand, they were worried about Qian Yuan, who was still in Jiaxing.
Such days lasted until the day when the imperial court rewarded the Tan family with seven ranks.
"I'm finally coming back." Lu unconsciously pulled the silk handkerchief, "Brother Yuan has done a great thing this time. ”
"I don't know if it's dark...... It's hurt to ......" Tan's face turned pale, and she kept looking outside, as a weak and unassertive woman, she didn't care about the title of Qipinru, she just wanted her son to go home safely.
"Don't worry, Uncle wrote a letter." Lu comforted: "I haven't lost a single hair, I'm just worried about Huating's side." ”
Sighing, Lu continued: "It's a pity, if Brother Yuan is out of office now, this time Chongde will be a great victory...... It will soar into the sky. ”
Qian Xiaomei's eyes rolled, she wanted to ask something but was afraid of being reprimanded by her uncle, and she was disciplined quite harshly here these days.
"It's coming, it's coming!" A stack of calls was heard outside.
The little girl who was the first to react jumped out of the door like a deer and rushed to the door with a puff of smoke.
"It's getting more and more unruly." Lu smiled and lectured in the back, and turned his head to see Tan walking out in a hurry.
Although it is a bit unruly to say that the elders go out to welcome the younger ones home, Lu can understand that she herself is worried about her nephew and uncle day and night?
Lu walked quickly to the gate, Qian Yuan was kneeling on one knee under the steps, Tan hugged him in his arms and cried loudly, Qian Yuan's eyes were also full of tears.
Nothing is more important than family, but many people often unconsciously forget this and only realize it when they lose it.
After coming to this era for more than a year, while Qian Yuan gradually blended in, he often dreamed of his parents in his previous life in the middle of the night, and the pillow towel was often wet after waking up.
In this life, Qian Yuan lost his father and brother when he first arrived, and now he only has his mother and little sister, how can he not worry, how can he worry about it from time to time.
Lu Shi turned her head to look at the more than ten nurses standing at the foot of the steps, although she didn't understand, she felt that this group of people was very different from before leaving.
Quiet and silent, straight backbone, seemingly plain but murderous eyes, and the sharpness of the knife handle in their hands represent the sharpness they are always ready to fire, all prove what they have gained in this Chongde World War experience.
After a while, Qian Yuan took Tan and got up, touched his little sister's bun, and saluted Lu.
"Uncle, these nursing homes are arranged in the front yard." Qian Yuan said in a low voice: "I've been living here for the past two days." ”
Lu immediately nodded and beckoned the housekeeper to arrange it, but suddenly woke up and turned back and asked, "...... these days?"
"We'll talk about that later." Qian Yuan sighed and turned his head to walk towards the nursing home below.
"The bereavement of the dead is generous, and the wounded are ...... Everyone was wounded. Qian Yuan patted Wang Yi's arm, "If it weren't for your arm, my face would have been scratched...... Maybe they've all become one-eyed dragons. ”
"Impossible, the young master is born blessed." Wang Yi smiled: "It's already decided? ”
"Hmm." Qian Yuan nodded, "But it's not in the city, that person is really bold, go back and ask, if you don't want to stay, you will return the money, or go to Hangzhou." ”
Wang Yi, Zhang San, and Yang Wen, the three leaders of the nursing home, knew that Qian Yuan was under Nie Bao's account, and they had no opinion on this, but it was difficult to say about the nursing home below.
"Recruit someone else." Qian Yuan said in a low voice: "There are about 100 people, and there are only 200 soldiers sent by Nanjing City around Shuangjiang Gong, and although General Yu is the general soldier of Wusong, the deployed soldiers and horses have not yet arrived." ”
Wang Yi nodded yes, waved his hand and led the guards into the house, habitually arranging sentinels, night patrols and other things.
Qian Yuan helped Tan slowly back to the backyard, thinking about the next wording in his heart.
In the past month or so, the Japanese have been rampant in Jiaxing, Songjiang, Suzhou, Tongzhou, and Changzhou, and moving to other places should not be rejected again, but the problem is that Qian Yuan will stay, and he doesn't know what kind of reaction his mother will have.
