Chapter 35: Congratulations to Mrs. Xiaojia
The four-grade lady has a guard of honor, and there is also a system for the court uniform. Sister Cai was helped up by Cai Cong, she didn't look at the silk and satin and gold and jade jewelry rewarded by the queen, one hand tightly grasped the holy decree, and the other hand kept touching the court clothes, and the tears never stopped, she thought that she would have to carry an infamy for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that today, someone finally gave her a correct name.
"This is a gratifying and congratulatory event, and I don't know if I have the honor to ask for a glass of wine and touch the nobility of Mrs. Xiaojia." The head of the chamberlain said with a smile, it was not Sister Cai who was pleasing to her, but Cai Cong. He followed the queen and naturally knew Cai Cong's status in the hearts of the emperor's two people.
"Ahem...... Invite the chamberlain to stay and have a glass of wine, and the old man will arrange a banquet. I don't know when the old man who was sick in bed was helped by Wei Guo and said to the waiter with a smile.
"You bastards, if you don't tell Lao Yu about such a big thing, do you think that Lao Yu will shield his own grandson and care about the life and death of other clan relatives?" The old man glared at the others, and the crutches in his hands thumped.
If it weren't for Sister Cai'er being sealed, I'm afraid that other people in the village wouldn't dare to inform him, and he probably wouldn't know that his grandson had done such a conscientious thing.
"Don't be angry, old man, take care of your body......"
"How can you not be angry and forget who gave him a full bite of food, this is unrighteousness. It is unfaithful to forget who gave them a living job. Even his sister wants to be killed, and he wants to be angry with his grandfather, this is unfilial piety, raising such a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial beast, my uncle is ashamed of your grandfather! ”
The old man was choked with tears, and he cried even more when he talked about his brother. The two brothers discussed all night, and in the end the elder brother took all his sons to the battlefield, while he stayed behind to protect the village. In fact, he should be the one who went to the battlefield, at that time, he wanted to strengthen the family, and his brother's ability was far ten times better than him, but he was afraid that something would happen to this younger brother, so he left in the middle of the night, leaving Sister Cai alone, and he would treat it as his own.
"Uncle, don't cry, you see that your granddaughter is now Mrs. Fate, can you show your grandson this court uniform?" Sister Cai cried and laughed, wiped her eyes, and coaxed the old man with a smile.
"Okay, uncle wants to see my girl wear the court clothes of the edict, this is a great thing for the glory of the ancestors. Uncle doesn't cry. The poor grandfather and grandson were crying and laughing, and the people who watched were sad.
Cai Gang went to buy the ingredients called Hua Chicken, so the others were not there, so they could only arrange the banquet by Daejeon, Sister Cai was wearing the court clothes of the command, circling around the old man like a child, coaxing the old man to laugh non-stop. There was no prestige at all.
The whole Caijia Village is festive and the same as the New Year, even the nearby villages have come, and they don't know where they got the news, so they have to come to congratulate them, some carrying eggs, and some carrying rice as gifts.
Xinli sat in the crowd for a long time, not knowing how to put his hands and feet. In the past, when there was a happy event in anyone's family, he sat in the chairman's seat, but he didn't dare to step forward to say anything today.
Seeing such a prosperous and festive scene, the old man waved his hand happily, this banquet will be held for three days, as long as you say an auspicious word, you can enter the table. Hearing this, the villagers were distressed, and they were shocked! How much does it cost?
"Do what the old man said, as long as he is happy, it is more important than anything else." Cai Cong said, what is money, in this era, it is easier for him to make money than anyone else.
"The British Mansion is a pair of Mrs. Xiaojia He Yuruyi."
"The Weiguo Mansion congratulates Mrs. Xiaojia with one hundred taels of gold and one bucket of pearls."
"Zhao Guogong ......"
"Eguo Gong ......"
The little eunuch who came with the chamberlain to announce the decree became the porter, and with a high salute, everyone couldn't sit still, they were all big people! I came to congratulate Cai Cong's family.
"The Yan family sent a piece of cloth, and Li Gang and Li Shi sent a set of four treasures in the study......"
Cai Cong, as the only man, hurriedly stepped forward to thank him, and the people who came were all the managers of the various mansions, and they were all exquisite people, and they talked happily for a while. The lieutenant found himself sitting a little far forward, and sat down at the back two tables without moving.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and the noise slowly subsided. The old man drank too much, and kept saying that he had the face to go to see his brother, and finally was carried down. Sister Cai sat in her room and looked at the court clothes, crying and laughing.
Cai Cong sat in the courtyard and looked lonely at the starry sky. After the hustle and bustle, he is always inexplicably sad, and this era is separated from him by a thousand years after all.
"Lang Jun, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest." Meng Baolai walked in and said.
"Bora, why do you say that people live? I'm used to seeing life and death, going back and forth between the past and the present, but I'm still confused. Cai Cong said blankly.
"Why is this alive, I haven't thought about it! It is said that it is better to die than to live, of course, it is better to live. Meng Baolai scratched his head, he thought about being angry and trying to make meritorious contributions to the enemy, but he didn't think about why he wanted to live, isn't living alive? Can you still die?
"Maybe! I'm going to sleep, and you guys are going to rest early. Cai Cong smiled, how could a big boss give himself an answer? I'm bored enough, I've lived two lifetimes, and I'm still thinking about something here.
Everyone else slept, but in a dilapidated abandoned village dozens of miles away, Cai Tian and the five of them were eating sour wild fruits, all looking terrified. Now they're street rats, and people are catching them all over the world. I went to the front village to steal some food, but I found that the chickens and dogs were jumping in the village, and the officials took their portraits and searched the whole village, so frightened that they ran back quickly, and finally could only find some wild fruits to eat.
"What can I do? They really reported to the official, if we go out to sea to catch papers, we won't be able to go, and I'm afraid we will have to hide in the mountains in the future. ”
"No, my mother and son can't live without me, they will starve to death."
"Who says it's not. My boy is only a few years old, and if he doesn't have me to support him, I'm afraid he will be sold by my mother-in-law. Who said it was foolproof, how did it turn out to be this? Someone said, and suddenly angrily smashed the wild fruit in his hand on Cai Tian's body.
Cai Tian was in a daze, and was suddenly smashed, picked up the knife and slashed at the man: "Straight thief, you dare to do it to a certain family?" ”
"What do you do?" The man ducked in a hurry, his knife slashing into the ground, sending a trail of sparks.
"What? A certain family has already killed someone, and if he is caught, it will be a death, and if anyone dares to yell at me, a certain family will kill him. Cai Tian squinted at the other four people, and a cruel smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"We won't, Brother Cai Tian, what you say, we'll do it." Everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Cai Tian. They had all watched Cai Tian kill people with their own eyes, and they were still very afraid in their hearts.
"It's good to be obedient, let's all go to sleep! You can't stay here for too long, tomorrow you will go over the mountains and leave the jurisdiction of Chang'an, this year there will be a mess everywhere, you follow me, as long as you are ruthless enough, there will be women and silver at that time. ”
Cai Tian listens to stories on weekdays, and can always hear stories about thieves occupying the mountains as kings, robbing money and women, and taking big mouthfuls of meat and wine. Whenever this time he would put down the rake in his hand and drool with envy.
The house was broken and the frost was heavy, and the cold air at night made the four people fall asleep together, Cai Tian shivered, but he didn't dare to let the other four people come over, and the suspicion of killing someone became serious, and everyone looked like they had an attempt.
At this moment, the four of them looked at each other, and at the same time got up and rushed towards Cai Tian. One person held down the knife that Cai Tian held in his chest, two hugged Cai Tian's legs, and the rest of the people smashed Cai Tian's neck with the broken window before Cai Tian could react, Cai Tian's eyes collapsed and he fainted directly.
The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, snatched the knife, and found a rope to tie Cai Tian up. They thought about it, it was Cai Tian who took the lead, Cai Tian who killed people, they were just coerced, and their crimes were not to death. There is no need to die like Cai Tian.
"Hurry up and find something to make a shelf, drag him to surrender, and we can be charged lightly." It was not difficult to do, and the four of them took turns dragging the shelves, and when it was almost dawn, they arrived at the nearby village. Those officials had already left, but Li Shimin's spies had always been there, so they immediately took down the five of them together, tied them up, and sent them to Caijia Village as soon as possible.
