Chapter 31: Cleanliness
Half an hour later, the hustle and bustle in the big tent dissipated, Xia Zongxiao pulled his own personal army guards to command the envoys to tell him some affairs, and stuffed the token representing his identity into his hands in front of the generals, and his body looked a little tired before letting them retreat.
The decision made by Xia Zongxiao tonight greatly affected all the people in Sanwei, and all the official departments of the Imperial Command Department of the Prince of Wei will be filled in.
The amateurs who have been officially included in the ranks of the regular army will get rid of their previous daily routine of doing odd jobs at the docks in Bianjing and Neifang City. After officially becoming the personal guard of the Wei Wang Zhengjun, they will get everything that they have that they envied their fathers and brothers and elders before.
The monthly money is consistent, the grain is one stone, the summer and winter regular clothes, the silk cloth reward, the special money, the coupon, the firewood and carbon money, the white tiger armor, the Baimo knife, the eclipse three meals, the two days of one meat...... Everything in all the regular army is what they aspire to.
Especially the white tiger armor with a hundred majestic and complex craftsmanship, the Baimo knife with a sharp blade, all the military households of Sanwei are the former military households of the Beijing camp, and they have been military households for generations, and their family style inheritance since childhood is to eat food from the army, a set of good armor, and a good knife are extremely great temptations for these generations of military households, because these things can be passed on as heirlooms.
Although the families of the amateurs already have regular soldiers, or fathers and brothers, or uncles, most of the amateurs are now young and strong, and they often secretly wear the white tiger armor Baimo swords of their fathers, brothers and uncles to show off in the guard and are scolded and beaten. Now that they can officially own what they have always dreamed of, they can imagine how they feel.
Xia Zongxiao returned to the soft collapse, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, sitting cross-legged in front of the copper furnace, and could even imagine what kind of crazy joy it was when the news spread throughout the camp......
Some people are happy and some people are sad, and it is estimated that the grain barn and the other two shopkeepers in the palace may not be very happy, because there are more than 10,000 people's food and armor, and the expenses will become constant every day, which is a lot of expenses......
In the cold and dark night sky, a bright moon has unconsciously climbed to the middle of the night and hangs high, exuding a cold and faint moonlight.
The night breeze caressed the already somewhat bare branches, and occasionally brought down two fallen leaves with the wind, and under the blowing of the cold wind, they rolled two in the air and quietly fell on the muddy ground that was already covered with fallen leaves, silently.
The soldiers who beat the guards in the large camp beat the rhythmic "Knock!" - Knock! Boom! "At three o'clock, extinguish the camp fire and extinguish the tent candles, camp and sleep peacefully, and those who come out of the tent for no reason are cut off...... At the beginning of the day, the campfire was extinguished......"
The sound of the soldiers gradually drifted away, but the lights and candles in Xia Zongxiao's big tent were still there, and he was still waiting for the little dice to come back and lay sleepily on the soft collapse, casually wrapped in a light brocade quilt, and the kettle on the copper stove had been boiled several times, and it was bursting upwards with billowing white mist.
Some mist was blown to Xia Zongxiao by the breeze in the tent from nowhere, Xia Zongxiao stretched out his left hand wrapped in the brocade quilt and gently stirred it, the mist kept changing shape between the hands and finally dissipated without a trace, Xia Zongxiao looked so attentive that he didn't know what he was thinking......
Feel the heat coming from your hands, close your eyes, and be half asleep......
Outside the tent, there was a deliberately low voice, which was the complaint of the little dice, and the sound of shoes rubbing the ground: "The shopkeeper Gu has said that His Highness is looking for you, so let you come back with the miscellaneous family to see Your Highness soon!" What kind of account do you have with that shopkeeper?
The left and right are just a few silver coins! How can it be important to see His Highness! Your Highness can't be too tired if the wind and cold haven't healed, if Your Highness has already rested, the Gu shopkeeper will come back tomorrow, but not too early, Your Highness is greedy to sleep This Gu shopkeeper also knows..."
The little dice were broken and thought, and rubbed the mud on the shoes on the coarse cloth carpet brought by the palace at the door of the tent curtain to clean the shoes, and stared at the grain barn to rub the mud on the shoes, and then lifted the corner of the curtain to let the grain barn in, but it couldn't be too big, otherwise the cold wind would blow in, and it would be terrible to freeze His Highness......
But when the little dice entered the tent, they found that the floor-to-floor animal skin blanket that was supposed to be spotless and clean in the station was full of dust, dirt, and unknown black paralysis.
The sharp-eyed little dice also saw some dry brown horse manure and snow-white fox skin blanket stuck together in several places, sniffed lightly, and the little dice seemed to automatically make up a picture in his mind: a group of pro-army men who came in to see the prince came in directly without rubbing their feet at the door... Thinking about the little dice, he was full of excitement, trembling, and stammered with his orchid embroidered fingers and pointed to the ground: "What's going on?" What's going on......"
Xia Zongxiaoqiang, who was half-asleep and half-awake, opened his tired eyes, only to feel that there was a person standing beside him, and his body was still scattered with the cold air brought in from outside.
Sweeping the mess all over the ground, Xia Zongxiao smiled unkindly, smashed the dry mouth and commanded the little dice sympathetically: "Sun Shilu has brought someone here, let's clean it up tomorrow, pour a cup of tea..."
The little dice are like walking through the mountains and forests full of thorny traps, avoiding the disgusting horse manure and some unknown black paralysis. I'm afraid to bump into it, but fortunately, there are not many horse manure and black paralysis, most of them are borrowed from mud and the like, otherwise the little dice will have nowhere to put their feet.
Lying down for a long time, half of his body was a little numb, and he was helped up by the little dice in the complaint of the little dice: "Your Highness! How can you let them in with an unclean watch? How dirty! Don't even rub your shoes, you look at the pickles in this place, the first day the slave maid served His Royal Highness, Imperial Doctor Xiao instructed the slave maid to ensure the cleanliness of His Royal Highness's living environment, which will help His Royal Highness's physical health, you look at what is in this place! Hey... What is on His Highness's vestment? ”
The little dice squatted in front of Xia Zongxiao and gently picked up Xia Zongxiao's feet, and the white cashmere foot jacket he had just changed for Xia Zongxiao this morning was shocked that there was an unknown black paralysis stuck to the bottom.
"Your Highness, you've got it on your feet! Incredible! Incredible! I have to go to Imperial Doctor Xiao to find some mugwort feet and soak my feet, what if I get sick? ”
The little dice flew off the black paralyzed foot coat, and found a new pair of new pairs from the big Nanmu carved box piled up behind the screen to help Xia Zongxiao change it.
After the exchange, the culprits who had defiled the big tent on the ground did not let go, and they were carefully thrown out of the tent in disgust.
