Chapter 515: News from My Hometown
Han Xiufeng is too far away from home and doesn't know about his hometown, so he has been busy doing happy events and eating wine for the past two or three months.
Originally, there was only one happy event to marry a sister, and because of the death of Ji Yunfei's wife, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, it was delayed, and the reason why there were so many happy events was because of the funeral that the camp had done with great fanfare before.
Dozens of monks and Taoists were invited to run a water and land dojo, and this operation was seven days and seven nights.
The heavens and the earth are great, and the dead are great.
The relatives of those brave soldiers who died in Jinghai and Duliu before actually wanted to ask monks and Taoists to do things to surpass the souls of their relatives, but it costs money to do things, and there is not much money to burn and bury silver, so almost nothing can be done. The camp paid for it, but they couldn't ask for it, so almost all of them came.
Although Ci is not in charge of the army, Han Xiufeng, who looks at those crying orphans and widows, feels very uncomfortable, thinking that it will be a farm work soon, and they may not be able to do the work in the field without a man. So they asked Chen Hu and Wang Hedong to lead the brothers in the camp to the villages to help those orphans and widows harvest in the summer.
I never thought that the work would be done, the grain would be collected, and trouble would follow.
On the third day of the brothers' return to the camp, a woman in her early twenties actually held a ** month-old baby, ran from Wanping County to the Yamen of the River Hall to beat the drum and voice her grievances, and complained that Ge Erxiao, who had just been promoted to the general by the school not long ago, not only molested her, but also abandoned her from the beginning, if she didn't give an explanation, she would hang herself!
Ge Erxiao was originally an inspector of military discipline, Han Xiufeng didn't think that Ge Erxiao would know the law and break the law, and although the woman said that she had eloquent words, her eyes were a little wrong, and she could even see from her eyes that she was a little weak-hearted.
Despite this, Han Xiufeng still asked the big man who had just returned from the capital to tie up Ge Erxiao, and asked Chen Hu and Su Jueming to ask him what he had done. As a result, Ge Erxiao swore that he only helped her work for a few days, and before leaving, he saw her orphan and widow's pity, and left some money, did not flirt, and did not go to her bed.
The Provincial Department is close at hand, and Wu Tingdong is now a direct subordinate envoy, Han Xiufeng didn't want to be grabbed by Wu Tingdong, who couldn't tolerate a little sand in his eyes, and asked Yun Qijun, a registered lifter who had just returned from collecting rent from home, to go to the housework micro-service for a private visit, and only then did he find out the ins and outs.
It turned out that the woman named Guilan had no in-laws and no brothers and sisters-in-law, and her mother's home was far away. Ge Erxiao went to help her work for a few days, and those pimples who didn't dare to act rashly made up some rumors about her disobedience to women's morals. And she also seems to think that Ge Erxiao is a person worthy of trust, so she simply pushes the boat down the river to beat the drum and voice her grievances.
The matter between men and women was not clear, Han Xiufeng didn't want to make a big fuss, so he came to a confused case, and asked Chen Hu to ask Ge Erxiao in private, confirming that Ge Erxiao also had some meaning to this widow, so he simply made the decision to let Guilan remarry Ge Erxiao, and fulfilled Guilan's wishes.
I didn't expect this head to open and get out of control.
The soldiers in the camp, who were too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, asked someone to propose marriage to the widow who had helped them do the work. Some stinky boys saw that their parents-in-law and brothers and sisters-in-law disagreed, and even came to ask him, the old man, to help him tell those gentry and ask those gentry to help find a way.
Chen Hu and Ji Daji and the others didn't get involved, to be precise, after becoming an official, their vision was also high, and they didn't want to marry a widow like Ge Erxiao, so they actually set their sights on the yellow flower girls in the village. Wang Hedong, who had just been the president of Qianzong for a few days, was even more amazing, he actually fell in love with the daughter of Yun Qijun's family, and wanted to be the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and Yun Qijun seemed to want to marry this family.
In short, the younger sister has not yet married, but the wedding wine has been drunk more than a dozen meals first, and the rows of barracks vacated before have gradually become a pair of new houses for the bride and groom.
Just when Han Xiufeng secretly sighed that there were more and more family members in the camp, and the newly renovated river camp would soon become similar to other green camps, Yu Youfu sent more than a dozen letters from Beijing.
Hearing that the letters were all sent from Hai'an's hometown, Chen Hu, Wang Hedong and Ji Daji's second brother Taiyong were excited, and even Ge Erxiao ran to the lobby with Bai Lai's son in his arms to join in the fun. Ren Yu'er was embarrassed to show her face, so she could only pull her sister to hide behind the hall and eavesdrop.
The family letter is worth a thousand dollars, and Han Xiufeng can understand their feelings.
Put the top three envelopes aside, picked up the fourth envelope and opened it with a smile: "The letters just now were given to me by Master Guo, Dean Gu and Master Yu, I'll look at it later, I'll look at you first." ”
Chen Hu stared at the letter in his hand and grinned, "Fourth Master Xie!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to thank you yet, this letter is not yours." Han Xiufeng glanced back at Ji Daji Er and said with a smile: "This is written by the third child of Ji Laocai's family to the two of you." ”
"Yes, I didn't expect my second master to remember us!" The first time he received a letter from his hometown, Ji Da was so excited that he rubbed his hands.
Ji Er was even more excited than Ji Da, and asked eagerly: "Fourth master, what did my second master say in the letter?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm helping you see it," Han Xiufeng smiled, and said as he watched: "Your second master said that all the silver that you Topan Changsheng brought back has been collected, one hundred and eighty taels, one tael is not a lot." He said that it is not easy for you to make some money, and you don't need to pay so much filial piety to him, and you don't need to give so much to your uncles and brothers. He kept twenty taels for himself, and then took out twenty taels to help you honor your uncle in the village, and kept the remaining one hundred and forty taels to help your brother build a house and buy a few acres of land. ”
"The second master has thought so thoroughly." Ji Da grinned.
"What's more," Han Xiufeng glanced at the letter, and then said: "Your second master said that your boss is not small, and said that Jiaogang has two daughters who are good, one is called Lotus and the other is called Cuihong, saying that he is a little close to your Lao Ji family, ask you what you think, if you are willing, you can reply to him, and he will help you propose marriage when he receives the letter." ”
Tian Gui is a native of Jiaogang, and without waiting for Ji Da to open his mouth, he patted his thigh and said: "Ji Laocai is really good, if you help say kiss, you can help say kiss, why are you staring at the lotus flower in our village!" ”
"What's wrong with Lotus?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.
Tian Gui said without thinking: "Fourth master, the lotus flower follows her mother, she looks very smart, and she is the most beautiful girl in our village!" ”
"So you kid also has a crush on the lotus, this matter is really a bit troublesome," Han Xiufeng laughed, handed the letter to Ji Da, who was overjoyed, and then opened the second letter.
Coincidentally, the second letter was written to Tian Gui by Tian Gui's brother-in-law asking Yu Qinghuai to help write it to Tian Gui, the same was the silver that Topan Er brought back, the same was to help build a house and buy land, and the same plan was to help Tian Gui say a daughter-in-law. It is worth mentioning that the woman that Sister Tian Gui fell in love with is said to be very good-looking.
The third letter was a little interesting, Han Xiufeng looked up after reading the letter and said, "Chen Hu, do you recognize Dean Gu's granddaughter Hong'er?" ”
"Recognize, Fourth Master, what's wrong with Hong'er?"
"Dean Gu wants to ask if you are willing to marry Hong'er as a wife, if you are willing, he will be the old man and marry Hong'er to you."
Hong'er and Ji Laocai and Tian Gui's sister and brother-in-law helped Ji Daji and Tian Gui to say that those women are different, that is the daughter of the Gu family, although it is not as good as Miss Ren, who does not go out of the door, but in Hai'an, she is the eldest lady who is like a fake on the one-acre and three-point land.
Chen Hu felt like he was in a dream, and he was stunned for a while.
The big head couldn't help but kick him: "The fourth brother is waiting for you to reply, is your turtle son happy?" ”
"Willingly, willingly!" Chen Hu was ecstatic, feeling that all this was so unreal, thinking about it, he scratched his neck and asked embarrassedly: "Fourth Master, Dean Gu is not joking, right?" ”
"Can Dean Gu make such a joke with you?" Han Xiufeng asked rhetorically, handed the letter to him and said: "I don't have time to help you read them one by one, take it back and let the book office read it to you, if you want to reply to the letter, quickly let the book office help you write it, write it and hand it to Uncle Yu, and ask Uncle Yu to help you bring it back." ”
"Okay, Fourth Master Xie!"
Chen Hu never thought that he would be able to marry Miss Gu Jia on this day, and after receiving the letter, he couldn't help but ask: "Fourth master, Gu'an is so far away from our hometown, we all have errands and can't go back for a while, how can this family affair be handled?" ”
"There will always be a way, it's a big deal, please ask Dean Gu to find a few people to help you send your new daughter-in-law. There are already so many families in the camp, and it doesn't hurt to have a few more. ”
"Fourth Master Xie, Fourth Master Xie is complete!"
"Don't thank you, hurry up and find the book office to read it to you."
Han Xiufeng looked at their elated appearance, picked up the remaining three letters and walked into the second hall, looked at Ren Yu'er who wanted to speak and asked, "Wait a minute, I'll help you read it." ”
"Fourth Brother Xie." Ren Yu'er's face flushed, and she hurriedly said a blessing.
Qin'er also followed, holding Ren Yu'er's arm and urging: "You should hurry up and look, you are dying." ”
"Isn't this watching," Han Xiufeng smiled, opened the letter sent by Dean Gu and read it carefully, then looked up and smiled: "The third aunt gave birth, not only the mother and son are safe, but also helped your father give birth to a boy and a younger brother." Your father's incense has not been broken, and someone can finally help pass on the lineage! ”
"Yes, great, great, it's really the sky has eyes, it's really a bodhisattva blessing......" Ren Yu'er's hanging heart finally fell, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.
Han Xiufeng put down the letter and sighed again: "After giving birth to a male baby, the third aunt has hope, I don't want to remarry, I plan to give your father a festival and help your father raise the baby." Dean Gu and Yu Qinghuai saw that she had made up her mind and didn't want her to boil in vain, so they asked me if I could send a letter to Lord Qiao, and see if I could ask Lord Qiao to help your brother ask the court for a difficult situation. ”
If you can ask for the grace of a difficult life, then when the younger brother grows up, he can go to the country to study for half a year, and then take the big examination of the imperial court. Although it can't be compared with the imperial examination, it is not as difficult as the imperial examination.
Thinking of this, Ren Yu'er asked eagerly, "Can you ask for it?" ”
Han Xiufeng muttered: "According to the rule, only the title below the eighth grade is given and not given shade, but now that the thieves and bandits are in turmoil, in order to boost the morale of civil and military officials, the court has given a lot of difficult shade below the eighth grade in the past two years. ”
Concerning her brother's future, Ren Yuer couldn't help but kneel on the ground, pleading with tears: "Everything is troubled by the fourth brother, as long as I can help my brother ask for grace, even if I am a cow and a horse, I am willing." ”
"What are you talking about, hurry up, don't talk to the family." Qin'er hurriedly pulled her up, then turned around and said, "Fourth brother, you are busy with yours, let's go out first." ”
"Go ahead, I still have two letters that I haven't read."
