Chapter 6 Swallows and bay leaves
After the move-in ceremony, although Xiaotian has not officially taken charge, he has enjoyed the treatment of being in charge. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info moved out of the collective dormitory alone, and now the house assigned to Xiaotian was a mother and son before, the son died three years ago, and the old mother lived alone for two years with the help of the surrounding villagers, and finally died three months ago. The house is not big, but there is a small yard, and some vegetables and fruits are planted in the yard, because no one takes care of it, and it does not grow very well.
Knock knock, it's the sound of a knock on the door.
When I opened the courtyard door, I saw a slim figure.
"Le Xianggong, this is the food I just caught in the sea, and the abalone, you scholars don't know how to cook, otherwise I'll stew it for you." Her voice was very low, and she blushed a little as she spoke, because she had just gone to the sea, and her single clothes were also pierced by the seawater, and she was clinging to her body, and I don't know if she forgot or didn't care because of negligence, maybe it was intentional. The women in the south of the Yangtze River are petite, and they don't have the delicate curves of the northern women, but the girls in this island nest have their own heroic spirit, but they also have a different taste.
"Swallow girl, please come in, it's cold, don't freeze anymore."
"It's not in the way, don't look at me as a woman, but my body is strong, and I can just bake it when I make a fire and cook for a while. If you have no one to take care of you on this island, I'm afraid you won't even be able to eat, and if you follow those rough guys to eat the cauldron, I'm afraid you'll lose your status. From now on, I'll come over every day to cook for you, or you can come to my house to eat" doesn't it mean that the women of the dynasty have to look for death and life for other men to look at, how do you feel more active than modern women.
"So it's hard work" Comrade Xiaotian wanted to refuse, just a few days after passing through and encountered a robber, now I really don't have this kind of thought, in addition, Xiaotian himself didn't think about what to do in the future, he also thought about getting to the shore and secretly ran away to find him to be Hanlin's cheap father.
However, Xiaotian really can't cook, and modern people want to eat hot food even if they are a kitchen god who travels through the past. On the other hand, Xiao Tian also knows that as an outsider, the best and fastest way to integrate into a gang is to marry a woman in it, otherwise it will be difficult to gain real trust, let alone let him take on the sale of stolen goods, which almost controls the lifeblood of the gang. Thinking that this house is so close to this Li Yan, I am afraid that there are some reasons for the deliberate arrangement of the Li family's father and son, and although this Li Yan is from a farmer's family, her appearance is also a symbol, which is extremely rare on this island, and I really like this character Xiaotian.
"Le Xianggong is going to sea tomorrow, I heard that you will be the second master when you come back this time, this is when my mother asked my father for a peace charm, in the past few years, my father has taken it every time he goes to sea, and he has never had an accident, very smart, you take it with you, and you will definitely be able to let you come back safely."
There is a way is the most difficult to repay but the beauty of the grace, every woman on the island is not simple, when really dare to love and hate, it is said that many women on the island have taken a knife to kill people, really in terms of combat effectiveness is not lost to most of the county soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Li Yan's directness caught Xiao Tian off guard, and he hadn't figured out how to treat this woman yet. But the girl's family is like this, and it can drag on for a few days. Hey, let's talk about everything when we come back, and I'll talk about it if I don't come back.
After eating Li Yan's stewed love abalone, Li Yan left, she also knew that now is not the time to say too much, if she fails to complete the target in a month, let alone not being in charge, her life will not be saved, and now if she really speaks thoroughly, she can still die with him in a month. Xiaotian wanted to pack his luggage, but found that there was really nothing to collect, so he could only lie on the bed in a daze. It is impossible to say that it is impossible not to hate the father and son of the Li family when they get on the thief ship, the good official eunuch has become the small leader of a small pirate gang, and Xiaotian is a loss, if the predecessor Xiaotian has to commit suicide. But if he was allowed to sneak away, it would be a little unbearable, if he escaped, it would be difficult for him to explain the whereabouts of the official ship to the government, and nine times out of ten he would have to confess to the government, and it would be difficult for the government to survive the encirclement and suppression of this small island.
Unconsciously, Xiao Tian has a trace of affection for many people on the island, not to mention, no matter how much the Li family's father and son trust him, it is impossible for him to really let him go ashore alone, and the probability of Xiao Tian escaping is infinitely less than zero. Is it really impossible to take root in this pirate den, the second master said that the scenery can be a minion in this southeast coastal area, don't look at the arrogance now, but that is the court does not pay attention to it, once the court attaches importance to this small pirate group is absolutely no way to live.
What's more, Xiao Tian knew that the imperial court would soon set up a governor of Zhejiang, and within a few years, a group of big bulls like Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou emerged in the southeast, not to mention this small pirate gang at that time, even Xu Hai and Wang Zhi could not escape the fate of a click.
Knock knock, knock on the door again. When I opened the door, I saw a graceful figure. It was not Li Yan who came, but a woman more beautiful than her, "Miss Xiangye, please inside", there is no etiquette on the island, and the hard fire forces the women on the island to hold up half of the sky, otherwise it is close to dusk, and Xiaotian will never dare to let the new Mrs. Li Jin enter the door.
"The day before yesterday, thanks to Miss Xiangye's help. Xiao Tian is going to sea tomorrow, if there is anything that Miss Xiangye can help Xiao Tian with, Xiao Tian will naturally do her best to help." At this time, I obviously didn't come to see Xiaotian to talk about family things, but I must have asked for help for something. This woman helped him lie a few days ago, Xiaotian was still grateful in her heart, not to mention that the same person who had fallen to the end of the world had some affection.
"The petty officials are polite, you and I have no grudges and no grudges, and I can't harm you, but the talent of the petty officials is something that the concubine didn't expect, if it weren't for this difficulty, how could he be the champion if he relied on Ling Zun's help, but the concubine had a reluctant request and hoped that the petty officials would help one or two."
"Miss Xiangye, please speak" The woman opened her mouth and closed her mouth to the little official, thinking that she was reminding Xiaotian that she knew Xiaotian's identity.
"After I was loyal, there was a hereditary military attache in my family, although I was a petty official who was not in the stream, but I was also an official eunuch. My father died in battle with the Tartars last year, and my younger brother was a hereditary guerrilla general of the five grades, and this time he went north by boat, and he wanted to go to the capital to give his brother a vacancy but did not want to suffer from this disaster, so he had to commit himself to serving the thief, Xiangye knew that the little official Qilin wanted to ask the little official if he had a chance to get out in the future, he could take care of his brother."
The military household system of the Ming Dynasty is very interesting, after Zhu Yuanzhang fought the world, he drank Jinzun wine with senior officers today, and tomorrow he will not spare each other, and he will kill them cleanly. However, Comrade Lao Zhu was very good to low-ranking officers, and he stipulated that whoever was an officer could take over after Lao Tzu's death and his son could continue to be an officer, and he wanted to give his meritorious man an iron rice bowl that could be passed down from generation to generation, and the Ming army's low combat effectiveness was also somewhat due to this. The problem is that there are more and more officers, how can there be so many grassroots soldiers for you to command, which has led to the emergence of a large number of empty officer positions in the Ming Dynasty but no commander soldiers, these people are all generals when they chat, the grade is not low, but there is no soldier under his hand, the military attache's Yu Lu has decreased again and again since the Ming Dynasty Sanyang, but the price has risen again and again, and the officers of the fourth and fifth grades often can't even eat, and the state does not allow you to do anything else. It is said that Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, lived like this for a period of time, so that he was bullied by his wife all day long because he couldn't get back the money.
"Miss Hongye don't have to worry, I have news that the imperial court is going to set up a governor of Zhejiang, overseeing the southeast anti-Japanese affairs, there will be a lot of vacancies at that time, Brother Ling is a southeasterner, and the Wupin guerrilla general is not a small official, presumably there must be a chance to lead the troops at that time."
In the imperial court at that time, more than sixty percent of the officials came from the southeast, and nearly half of them were from the ZJZJ officials, and three percent of the officials were from Shaoxing, so the power of the Zhejiang Party in the DPRK was very large, and it was intricately and closely related. In Xiangye's opinion, Xiaotian's father is a Jinshi from ZJ Shaoxing, so this news can't be wrong. After thanking him again and again, he said a few polite words and left happily, without worrying about his safety at all about the affairs of the governors of the six provinces.
