Chapter 9 Extraneous Branches
The next day, at the beginning of the hour, Wang An saw a total of seventeen disciples of Mr. Cui, and the Xinye Deng family and the Deng family who had a good relationship did not come. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info everyone informed each other of their names, when they heard Yin Lu, Wang An took a few more looks, Yin Lu could only say that he looked handsome, a bookish air, and couldn't help asking: "Xinye Yin family?" The other nodded.
"Married?" Yin Lu shook his head.
"Married?" Yin Lu nodded.
Du Shi coughed a few times beside him, but Wang An did not continue to ask. Each person is a roll of bamboo slips, in groups of two, fourteen people are responsible for the registration of the displaced people, and the other three are responsible for the registration of tenants. All those who come to register are divided into 15 years old, and each person over 15 years old, regardless of gender, will be given two copper coins, and under 15 years old, one copper coin per person. I also want to tell the homeless people that they are not to blame for the past; If it is a repeat offense, the new account and the old account will be counted together.
After Yin Lu and they left, Wang An said to Du Shi: "Let's go and see the land you said." Du Shi looked at Wang An: "Does Lang Jun know how to ride a horse?" Wang An shook his head. Du Shi sighed: "Let's go find a mount for Lang Jun first." ”
"When Jungong led the donkey just now, why did the little guy cry?"
"He thought I was going to kill the donkey and eat meat."
"Could it be that Jun Gong has done it before?"
Du Shi looked embarrassed: "I did it in autumn, and it was seen by the little guy, but I didn't expect it to be remembered now." Tian Dalang rode his horse and rushed from behind to front with a strange smile.
The two rode horses and donkeys, walked a little south, through the demarcated woods, and in front of them was an open field, Du Shi pointed to a small courtyard in front of them, and said, "That's it, this man committed an accident and fled." The others also moved away, leaving only the woman to live here with her baby. ”
"What happened to her man?"
"I also heard that her man killed a concubine of the Deng family a few years ago and fled, and the Deng family often came to harass her man in order to arrest her man, and everyone else moved away, only she guarded the land with her baby, waiting for her man to come back."
"It seems that I am unwilling to sell it, and I don't know if you want to rent it to me."
Tian Dalang said: "Just ask, what's the use of just talking here." ”
The three of them rode forward on their mounts, and when they got closer, they found that this family occupied a lot of land and was also a prosperous family before. The three of them looked into the yard and found a baby with pigtails playing in the yard. Tian Dalang shouted at him: "Child, are you not there?" ”
The little guy heard the voice and looked at Wang An and the others, and then ran into the house, shouting as he ran: "Mother, mother, the bad guy is here." Then he closed the door. It turned out to be a girl.
Wang An touched his nose: "We are so like bad people?" ”
"Probably in her eyes, those who are gorgeously dressed are not good people." Du Shi smiled, and then shouted into the house: "Madam, we are not from Dengjiazhuang, we are from Wangjiazhuang, and we have something to discuss with Madame." ”
After a while, the door opened a crack, and then it opened, and a woman came out, went to the middle of the courtyard, and gave a salute: "The man in the house is not there, and it is inconvenient to invite the three of you to sit in the house, but please tell me here if you have any matter." Wang An looked at the woman carefully, although there were many patches on the clothes, they were very neat, and they wanted to do it carefully and carefully.
Wang An was about to speak, but Tian Dalang said first: "It's okay if you don't let me enter the house, so let my family Langjun go to the courtyard to sit, this is the way of hospitality." Then the woman let them in. Tian Dalang took out a piece of cloth from his arms and spread it in the courtyard, "Why did Dalang think so thoughtfully?" "It was the eldest sister who asked me to bring it, and she said that she might use it, isn't it just used?"
After Wang An and Du Shi were seated, the women sat down, and Tian Dalang led the mounts to the well and fed them water.
Wang An gave a salute: "May I ask what Mrs. is called." ”
"The concubine's husband's surname is Zheng."
"Mrs. Zheng, I came to visit you this time to discuss with you about your family's land."
Mrs. Zheng refused: "This land is not for sale." ”
"I know that Madame stayed here to wait for your husband, and I am afraid that he will not find you when he comes back, so I don't want to buy this land, I want to rent it."
"Rent?"
"Yes, rent. Mrs. This land is not far from Yushui, and it is also from the official road, and the transportation is convenient, which is not suitable for planting crops, but it is suitable for starting a workshop. Madame can also stay in the workshop and continue to wait for your husband. And your daughter," the little girl sneaked out and stood beside her mother, "can also go to school in Wangjiazhuang." ”
"The girl also goes to school?"
"Not bad," Du Shi said, "Lang Jun intends to make the tenants and the children of the homeless in the Zhuangzi, both male and female, literate. ”
At this time, Tian Dalang ran over, holding a bow and arrow in his hand: "Someone is coming this way." ”
"It must be those concubines of the Deng family."
Wang An asked, "Do they come often?" ”
"I started coming every day, then three or four days, and now I come once every ten days and half a month, and if someone from the family comes, they will come when they get the news."
Tian Dalang stood at the gate of the courtyard, stretching his bow and arrows aimed at the people in front of him. "Put the bow down, don't make trouble," Du Shi shouted. Tian Dalang turned his head to look at Wang An, Wang An nodded, and then put the bow down.
The person on the other side didn't arrive, so he said first: "The Zheng family is going to open the door to welcome guests, let the kid come first." ”
"Your man has been running for a few years, and it's uncomfortable down there, and the kid helps you relax."
……
Wang An looked at Du Shi: "This is also Mr. Cui's disciple?" ”
Du Shi shook his head.
"Let's shoot the horse".
Tian Dalang opened his bow and released the arrows, and Wang An found that Tian Dalang sent a series of arrows, two arrows at a time, and the front legs of the two horses bent, lifting the people on the horses off, and sliding forward a few feet, standing still. Several others hurriedly dismounted to check on the injuries of the two. One of them cried out, "How dare you kill?" ”
Wang An stood up and said: "We were discussing things in the yard, and a few crazy horses rushed over, in order to protect the old and weak women and children, they shot the horses, but I didn't expect to sit down immediately." ”
"It's quibble."
"You set the horse for murder, I shot the horse for self-protection, and sued Xinye Ling, and I am also a victim."
"My lord is the captain of Yuzhang."
"My Wang family has nine marquis and five major Simas." Fight Dad, you're far behind.
At this time, Tian Dalang, who checked the situation, ran back and told Wang An that one had a broken leg and a broken hand, but there was no worry about his life. "Very good, well done, after I go back, I will go to the eldest girl to get a piece of money and buy some gifts for the second girl."
"Thank you, Lang-kun." Tian Dalang saluted Wang An, turned to the Deng family and said, "You hurry up and find a doctor for them, you can't save your hands and feet if it's late, Wangjiazhuang has a famous doctor in Wan County, Dr. Shentu, who is good at taking over and taking over feet." ”
After the Deng family left, the Zheng family saluted Wang An respectfully: "If Lang Jun can help my man come back, what does it matter if you give it to Lang Jun here." ”
