Looking up at the city gate engraved with the word "Huating", Qian Yuan sighed a little.

The first time was when he returned to Huating from Suzhou, Qian Yuan was nervous at that time.

The second time was in Hangzhou and Jiading, where he returned home after many incidents, and Qian Yuan was thinking about his family at that time.

But this time when he returned from Jiaxing and passed by, although Qian Yuan was not depressed, he also had a strong sense of loss.

In the early morning of the second day of that night, Qian Yuan, who was still not giving up, led people to squat at the gate of Chongde County, and kept watch until after lunch, but there was no gain.

Although Chongde County is not big, the city wall is low, and it is not difficult for a young and strong man like Xu Hai to get out of the city, and Qian Yuan is destined to be disappointed.

A few days later, seeing that there was still half a month to go before the New Year, the group set off one after another, Wen Peng, who had been outside for most of the year, wanted to return to Suzhou, and Qian Yuan and others also returned to Huating.

"This trip is a full load." Sun Kehong was full of interest, and said with his fingers: "Twenty books, six paintings, and asked for Mr. Hengshan's words, which is really fruitful!" ”

Seeing that He Liangjun was silent, Sun Kehong hurriedly added: "Of course, the most important thing is that Brother Yuan'er's affairs are going smoothly. ”

Before leaving, Xiang Dushou had already discussed with He Liangjun, the middleman, that if there was no accident, he would be able to marry after the filial piety period.

He Liangjun still didn't say anything, and the corner of his eye swept over Qian Yuan, who was gloomy in face.

Since that night, Qian Yuan has maintained his calm and composure in front of the Xiang family, but he always has a sad face in private, and even frowns habitually when telling jokes.

However, although Qian Yuan was not in a good mood, his mother Tan and uncle Lu were in a good mood, and the Xiang family in Jiaxing was rich and scholarly, so they were naturally first-class marriage partners.

Although there are still nearly two years before the filial piety period, although there are still more than 20 days before the New Year's Festival, although his mother and uncle are in high spirits, Qian Yuan returned to the Lu Mansion silently.

Every day, if Lu Shude is no longer used to knock on the door to urge, Qian Yuan will consciously get up and wash, and every day without Lu Shusheng's verbal stimulation, Qian Yuan will consciously go into the study to study all night.

In addition to reading and cooking, Qian Yuan also has to practice calligraphy every day, changing his previous style of being lazy and coping with things.

But it is obvious that Qian Yuan did not have a good impression on Lu Shusheng in the first two months.

Twenty-seventh of the lunar month.

Lu Shusheng looked worriedly at Qian Yuan, who was bidding farewell and preparing to go home, "Brother Yuan, you have studied hard since you were a child, and you have broadened your horizons in the past two years, and there are quite new ideas in the craft, and it is not difficult to meet an examiner who is not very strict, so you don't need to worry too much......"

After a pause, Lu Shusheng continued softly: "It's good to relax during the New Year's Festival, and the old man won't leave the topic." ”

Qian Yuan obviously showed a dissatisfied look on his face, and hesitated for a moment before bowing and leaving.

Lu Shusheng behind him got up and paced a few steps, smiling bitterly in his heart, although the Qian Yuan family and the clansmen do not agree, but since childhood, the family has been rich, and there is an uncle who has two Jinshi, so he can naturally be regarded as a child of the family, I thought that such a day would not last long, but I didn't expect that now it is willing.

Actually, this is a misunderstanding.

When encountering troubles, Qian Yuan follows the habits of his previous life, and uses other things to distract his attention, there are no online games, no online novels, and he can't go out for a night run, let alone travel, writing those troubles, but he will definitely use the eight strands of text in the future, which is Qian Yuan's only choice.

Nibbling on the pen day and night, doing sit-ups and push-ups in his spare time, a lot of time and energy is spent on these, Qian Yuan will not think about the outside world, to think about Xu Hai who slipped away from his hand.

Entering the house and asking his mother Tan to say goodbye, Qian Yuan silently estimated in his heart that he learned from the Di Bao as early as in Jiaxing that Zhang Jing was transferred to the Nanjing Military Department half a month ago, and if I remember correctly, his main opponent was Xu Hai......

Looking up and seeing the sad look on his mother's face, Qian Yuan frowned and asked, "Why is my mother worried?" ”

Tan sighed with a bitter face, "I just received the letter, your uncle...... It was the one from Jiajing No. 23 Middle School, who was seriously injured in Taizhou. ”

Qian Yuan stiffened, took the letter handed by his little sister and looked down to quickly read it, and couldn't help licking his dry lips.

Tan Lun Tan Zili, a famous general in history who is known as "Qi Tan" with Qi Jiguang......

On the sixth day of December, 5,000 Japanese invaders attacked Taizhou, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to go out of the city to meet the enemy, so they could only close the city and defend it.

On the tenth day of December, Taizhou almost broke the city, and the prefect Tan Lun was naked, dragging a knife to rush into battle, and finally protect the city, but he was injured in six places and could not afford to be seriously injured.

"Brother-in-law is fine, right?" Qian Yuan pondered the uneasy temptation.

"I don't have to worry about my life, but I hurt my foundation." Tan Shi said worriedly: "You ask people to run and send some tonics." ”

Qian Yuan agreed, and asked in a low voice: "Mother is close to my brother-in-law at home?" ”

"Yes, I have no eldest brother or younger brother, and I have always been taken care of by the fourth and sixth brothers in the third room." Tan pointed to the letter, "The fourth brother is also in Taizhou, and he wrote the letter." ”

Qian Yuan pondered for a while and then asked, "Have you received many letters from my uncle over the years?" ”

"It's not much, he was in the capital before, and then he went to Nanjing, and after he was transferred to Taizhou, he has received frequent letters in the past few months."

Qian Yuan, who knew it in his heart, couldn't help grinning, okay, it seems that the unmasked uncle knows...... Otherwise, there is really no need to write this letter.

Looking down and taking a closer look, uh, the first few pleasantries in the letter praised the nephew for his young and old age, and his future is limitless...... Qian Yuan put away the letter with a weak heart.

went out of the house to find Zhang San and others, and Qian Yuan asked them to collect a batch of wound medicine and tonic medicine for the firm to bring after the year.

"Young master, Yang Wen has just come back."

Qian Yuan's eyes lit up, and he beckoned Yang Wen to a secluded place and asked in a low voice, "What do you know?" ”

"Wang Cuiqiao and Wang Lushu are said to be sisters-in-law, the elder sister is good at dancing, and the younger sister is good at singing, and these two sisters are quite famous in the Qinhuai River." Yang Wen, who had just rushed back from the snow, sighed, "I have also found some clues about the origin, and it is said that it is a girl who was abducted and trafficked." ”

Brought a cup of hot water and handed it to Yang Wen, Qian Yuan nodded, this was what he expected, the abduction and trafficking of young children in later generations is often male over female, this is the feudal idea that people in the mountainous areas have inherited incense, but now girls are more popular, many of the Qinhuai River and Yangzhou thin horses are bought to train girls, as a cash cow, and even this has become an industrial chain.

Yang Wen took a sip of hot water to warm his body, and continued: "The prostitute is good, the surname is particular, the pair of sisters surnamed Wang, I specially found some related inquiries, it may be from Shandong, there are several companies in Zibo that specialize in selling girls, **, and the bustard is surnamed Wang." ”

Qian Yuan squinted and thought for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You alone know about this matter, don't reveal it, and run again after the year, by the way, the Japanese in Shandong are not fierce, right?" ”

"It's much better than Zhejiang, but it's not very peaceful." Yang Wen sighed twice, "But there is a character, who led the guards several times at a young age to drive the Japanese into the sea." ”

Qian Yuan's eyes narrowed even more, Shandong, the guards, the Japanese ......

Back home, Qian Yuan sat in the study and pondered for a long time.

I hope that I can enjoy life in this life, and I hope that I can live happily in this life, but God does not give me this opportunity.

After coming to this era for more than a year, Qian Yuan finally tried to take the initiative to do something.

I don't want to fully fit into this era, but I also want to be able to change something......
