Chapter Sixty-Seven: Do Enough to Take a Break Halfway
For the ceremony of worshipping relatives, Qin Xiucai came to Baibao Village a day in advance, and the momentum was very loud, and the stove had been set up outside, and everyone thought that there would be a dinner.
I never thought that such a big toss would suddenly leave in half an hour, Zhu Da was naturally strange in his heart, but now that Qin Chuan is also an elder, he can't help but listen. changed to peers, but I was afraid that I was still talking about the wine banquet in the evening, and everyone lacked oil and water in their stomachs, and it was rare to have a chance to open meat.
Zhu Da agreed to come down and said a few words to Xiang Bo and Zhou Qingyun, and Zhou Qingyun reluctantly followed him to clean up.
"He's really a calm man." That Fan Zongqi nodded and said.
The luggage of the two people was not much, and it had already been prepared, just go home and take it out, but Zhu Da's mother was very surprised, she thought that her son would have to leave again in a day, thinking that she would not see her for a few days in the future, so she was reluctant to do so, and choked up and told Zhu Da, all of which she said the night before.
Over there, Qin Qin was taking a nap after eating and drinking, and was also woken up by the people who came, the little girl was reluctant but not surprised, rubbing her eyes and saying goodbye to Zhu Wang's family.
After returning to the Xiang family's mansion, seeing Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun who were cleaning up the neatness, Qin Xiucai said to Zhu Shi and Xiang Bo with an apologetic face: "I should have had a few drinks with the two of you today, but I suddenly have an urgent need to rush back to deal with it, I'm really sorry." ”
Zhu Shilian said that it was important to get down to business, and Xiang Bo also said that it was okay, but Li Zongqi and the villagers who were sitting with him were full of surprise.
"Since the banquet has been prepared, there is no need to bring it back, so the two of you will invite the neighbors to come over and be happy and lively." Qin Xiucai is very generous.
There are four square tables in the courtyard of Xiangjia, this is a banquet for more than 30 guests, the wine and meat dishes are not cheap, and it costs a lot, according to the current habits, if the main family does not do it or similar situations, the banquet will often be withdrawn, those dishes that have been made will stay and eat slowly, and the others can be returned to the return, and those who can't be used at home can be consumed, after all, this is not a rich place, saving simplicity first.
Qin Xiucai said to go, Li Zongqi was fine, the three villagers who were invited in were full of disappointment, and when they heard Qin Xiucai's arrangement, they were immediately excited, and while pondering and calling their families to eat, they thought that the Zhu family was blessed, and they would definitely be able to share a lot of benefits in the future with such a generous godrel.
Many of the guests who came with him were all at Qin Xiucai's face, and as soon as he left like this, everyone else also said goodbye in a noisy manner, or Qin Xiucai ordered the names of a few people to stay, otherwise it would not look good.
As the people were walking out, a man in charge of the operation shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, this time the wine and meat materials are prepared for two meals, since you want to invite the villagers in the village, it is better to set up a flowing water table, so that everyone who can come can taste it, and everyone will come to touch the joy of this happy event." ”
Hearing this initiative, Qin Xiucai said with a smile: "This is a good thing, Qin will be related to this Baibao Village in the future, and he just happened to get close to the villagers, so let's do it, Brother Xiang, I want to bother you, if it is inconvenient, it will be the same outside the hospital." ”
Xiang Bo didn't answer immediately, and after a moment of silence, he said with a smile: "The villagers are happy that the old man is also happy, so just do it in this courtyard, so as not to scatter people around." ”
Qin Xiucai looked at Xiang Bo, nodded with a smile, and then turned around and walked out, there were already people left behind who went out to shout, Li Zongqi had to come forward to summon the villagers to come over, the villagers who were watching the excitement outside were the first to get the news, and they all crowded forward, and the entire Baibao Village gradually became agitated, and everyone who got the news was elated.
Yesterday, when the ingredients arrived in the village, many villagers have seen them, seen chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and also saw the wine jar, after going back, they spit and tell the story, and they are fascinated to see it, and they think it is the delicacies of the mountains and seas that they don't see it, and the villagers of Baibao Village are poor, and they can't eat meat several times a year.
I never thought that everyone would have the opportunity to eat, and everyone from old to young was happy, not only thinking about eating more, but also thinking about bringing back the inconvenient ones at home, and the men and children in the village immediately crowded over, lest they would be left with nothing if they were late.
“...... Don't squeeze don't squeeze, stew meat in a big pot, everyone has a ......"
Listening to the shouting behind him, Qin Xiucai and the people who accompanied him had already arrived at the entrance of the village, originally Li Zongqi wanted to come over to send it, but was persuaded to stay to maintain order, Zhu Da's father Zhu Shishi also wanted to go out of the village to send off, but was dragged by Xiang Bo, saying that if you don't make this kind of parting tune, the children will feel uncomfortable.
Qin Xiucai had a burden on his body, Qin Qin hung on his chest like a baby, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun rode with two thin knights, they couldn't fall off with their waists, and the group slowly left Baibao Village, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun looked back and found that the village was empty, and they all went to Xiang Bo's side for a banquet.
Zhu Da suddenly felt that all this was too deliberate, and this banquet was not to collect relatives at all, but to attract the whole village......
Thinking of this, Zhu Da subconsciously turned around, but saw a person standing at the entrance of the village, who didn't eat those wine and meat? He immediately recognized who it was, Zhu Da's mother Zhu Wang was standing at the intersection looking at this side, although it was a little far away, but Zhu Da knew that his mother was looking at him.
At this moment, Zhu Da couldn't control it anymore, he originally felt that ordinary things were only related to his life, but at this moment he forgot everything, just waved back with teary eyes, and Zhu Wang's family in the distance was also waving his hand.
Qin Xiucai looked back, touched his daughter on his chest with his free hand, Qin Qin shook his head reluctantly, and listened to Xiucai Qin Chuan said with emotion: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." The rest of the team muttered something else with some dissatisfaction, and was glared at by a few leaders, and immediately did not dare to speak.
After walking for a while, Zhu Da's mood calmed down, and he suddenly remembered that when he waved to his mother just now, the reaction of the whole team was inevitably too big, more than one person turned back, just looked back, and a few people in the back team wanted to turn around and turn around, as for the muttering words, he could hear it clearly...... I thought there was a ...... that I didn't watch."
The horses began to speed up, according to the knight who escorted them back yesterday, if it were not for the delivery of letters or fighting, in order to maintain the horses, they would not normally ride too fast, but now everyone is whipping up, although they did not let go of running, but the speed is really not slow.
What makes Zhu Da strange is that these dozen or so riders do not mean to go to the official road, no matter how bad the road condition is, it is better than the country road, and it is faster to really rush or take the road, and whether it is to Zhengjiaji or Huairen Qianhu in the northeast, it is faster to take the official road.
After running forward for a while, Zhu Da vaguely guessed what was going on, their target seemed to be a small village about two miles ahead, at this time, the horse team slowed down, Qin Xiucai turned his horse to the roadside field, made way for the team, and the two knights carrying Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun followed, and the others continued to move forward, the two general banners and senior seniors all hugged their fists to Qin Xiucai as a salute, and then the horse team accelerated forward.
Qin Xiucai turned over and dismounted here, letting the daughter in the "swaddling" get down and move her body, while the other two knights fed the horses with cakes and beans in the saddle bag, which actually meant a temporary rest.
Zhou Qingyun's face was full of confusion, Zhu Da shook his head with a smile, and Qin Xiucai came over and asked, "Do you see something?" ”
"Qin Xian...... Father, you are really cautious, and your opponents are not so close. Juda replied that the title would not be changed for a while.
A smile appeared on Qin Xiucai's face, the horse team had already entered the village in front, he looked over there and said, "They have been staring, how can they not guard against others for revenge after harming others, so they have to act a full set." ”
While talking, I could see smoke and dust rising on the other side of the village, but the smoke and dust were much bigger than when the horse team was marching just now, Qin Xiucai said slowly: "There are still twenty horsemen in the village, and the weapons are also placed in this village, this village is Gaojia Village, and the cousin of the old Gao Baihu is the general flag here, after the convergence here, run southeast for more than half an hour to reach Majiadian, there is an inn selling wine at the intersection over there, they are going to burn the inn, and more than ten people in it will die. ”
"What's in the inn?" Zhu Da asked, while Zhou Qingyun was also full of excitement and curiosity, Zhu Da wondered himself when he asked this, why did he not have the slightest discomfort and fear, this is a murder and arson, or a shameless trick without a king's law.
Qin Xiucai's face was full of praise, he was very happy that Zhu Da had been able to keep up with his train of thought, and explained with a smile: "The inn not only sells wine, but also has three tables to gamble, and there are more than a dozen fans in the guest room, and it is the owner of the nest within a radius of dozens of miles, and the thieves have to be shipped over there. ”
"Dozens of taels", this number made Zhu Da's mind turn around, so many underworld businesses, a month's net profit is only this amount, it seems that Qin Xiucai is really generous to himself, I am afraid that the silver money has already exceeded forty taels, and the goods and goods have to be counted separately.
“...... There is a general flag and more than 20 military men stationed in the inn, and there are dozens of gangsters and idlers, who can usually suppress the scene, and are one of the financial resources of the old men of the guard, but now a new business has been added, and there are more than 1,000 catties of salt stored in the inn warehouse......"
Having said that, Zhu Da's thinking is already very clear, Shengping Salt Inn, Wei Suo and Wei Suo compete for the profits of private salt, Wei Instigated private soldiers to kidnap Qin Xiucai's daughter, today's raid on the inn is Shengping Salt Inn revenge, but Qin Xiucai's words made Zhu Da very confused.
"Qin ...... Father-in-law, there are two general flags here today, and there are a few others, all of whom are said to be the military attachés of the Datong Left Guard, and the military attachés over there are also in the guard, all of them are in the Datong Left Guard, even if they are colleagues, how can they fight so hard?
