Chapter 20 Moving
December of the first year of Chongzhen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The climate became cold, and Wu Fanhui had already put on a cotton robe.
There is no fire in the hut of the ancestral hall, and when he sleeps at night, he can only shrink into a ball to resist the cold, such days are unbearable, but Wu Fanhui gritted his teeth and persevered.
The Tugu Hun horse is too eye-catching in the county, and the feeding consumption is very large, Wu Fanhui finally found that with his current ability, it is not a good thing to have a horse, the housekeeper of the He family in the county town came to discuss, and was willing to take out thirty taels of silver, plus a house in the north of the city, in exchange for this Tugu Hun horse, because the talented young master of the He family plans to go out to travel to the south and needs a horse, and Wu Fanhui, the Tugu Hun horse, is a good choice.
No one asked where Wu Fanhui's horse came from.
Thirty taels of silver plus a house with a yard looks good, but Wu Fanhui knows very well that the He family has taken a great advantage in trading, and an old house in the north of the city is worth more than twenty taels of silver at most, so the price of this Tuyuhun horse is less than sixty taels of silver, and the Tuyuhun horse, the lowest price in the market needs sixty taels of silver, that is still a Tuyuhun horse that has not grown up, and the horse owned by Wu Fanhui can be sold to seventy taels of silver.
Wu Fanhui did not hesitate at all and agreed to the deal.
Thirty taels of silver and the house deed, all in his hands, the horse has been taken away, two days ago Wu Fanhui watched the little son of the He family, riding a horse out of the city and leaving.
Then it's time to move.
Wu Fanhui paid 200 yuan and invited a group of people to clean the house, it doesn't matter if he doesn't clean it, in the process of cleaning, Wu Fanhui almost scolded his mother, the doors and windows are broken, and the tiles on the eaves are also missing.
It took nearly half a month to repair the doors and windows, replace the broken tiles, and the house was cleaned up.
Of course, these things were not done by Wu Fanhui, he paid more than three taels of silver to get these things done.
Picking up the house so quickly, Wu Fanhui wants to thank Wu Mingkun and others, it is these classmates who he treats as children to help contact and find people, so that the progress is so fast.
Wu Fanhui did not delay studying, copying books to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, class time, he urged Wu Mingkun and others to recite the "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", after more than two months, all five children can recite, so Wu Fanhui took on the responsibility of Mr., and slowly explained to them the Four Books and Five Classics, mainly to explain the "Analects", the manuscript "Analects" in his hand, and also became a book copied by five children.
During the rest time, Wu Fanhui was almost all copying books, and after copying one, he would return one.
There have been rumors in the county seat, saying that there are many homeless people outside Mizhi County, and there are many bandits.
This made Wu Fanhui even more anxious, he felt that his parents and family had to move to the county seat, and Ma'anshan Village would eventually become the target of bandits and homeless people.
In history, Wang Er, a farmer in Baishui County, which belongs to Xi'an Prefecture in Shanxi, raised a flag on November 17 in the first year of Chongzhen, and then, in less than a month, Wang Jiayin, a farmer in Fugu County, a farmer in Yan'an Prefecture, rebelled, Wang Zuo, a farmer in Yichuan County, Gao Yingxiang, a farmer in Ansai County, and Wang Daliang, a farmer in Hannan County, rebelled.
Among them, Gao Yingxiang of Ansai called himself King Chuang, and Wang Daliang of Hannan called himself King of Daliang.
The various places under Yan'an Mansion have begun to be agitated, and a surging wave of rebellion will sweep across the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.
The peasant rebellion means the extreme deterioration of the public security situation, these rebellious peasants, when they first began to raise the flag, had absolutely no goal, they just smashed and looted, and at first they could not attack Fuzhou County and other cities, but only launched an attack in the villages and towns, the elders and Li of the villages and towns were the first to bear the brunt, the city gate fire affected the pond fish, and the honest people would also suffer.
At first, the imperial court did not pay attention to the peasant rebellion, but when they began to pay attention, everything was irreparable.
Wu Fanhui doesn't care how the court and the government deal with it, what he needs to do now is to bring his family to the county seat to live, and the speed must be fast, although there will be no rebellious peasants in Mizhi County for the time being, but bandits and homeless people have already appeared, if the time is delayed, who knows what will happen.
After the house was repaired, Wu Fanhui had another headache, although Ma'anshan Village was only ten miles away from the county seat, how to let his parents and two younger sisters arrive at the county seat safely, it also needed to be planned.
It was Wu Mingkun who helped resolve this problem.
A distant cousin of Wu Mingkun worked in the household of the county ya, and through this distant cousin, he came forward and invited five sergeants guarding the yamen to help escort him, of course, this required Wu Fanhui to take out the silver.
Each sergeant had 200 yuan, and the distant cousin had 300 yuan, and at the same time had a meal at the inn in the county seat.
It cost a total of one or two pieces of silver.
December 15th.
Early in the morning, Wu Fanhui and five sergeants, as well as two hired carriages, set off from the county seat and rushed to Ma'anshan Village.
In less than an hour, the group arrived at Ma'anshan Village.
The arrival of the sergeant caused a huge sensation in the village, Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong all came, this time they all had smiles on their faces, the road had already been opened, Wu Fanhui also brought gifts to the two, a jar of wine and two buckets of millet, these gifts made Wang Zhengui and Wu Qingxiong very happy.
There is nothing of value at home, and it has been almost cleaned up a long time ago.
The happiest thing is that Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang, two little girls, are about to move to the county seat to live, and in the county seat for the New Year, the cloth brought back by my brother last time has been kept at home, there is no tailor master in the village, and I can't make clothes well, so I can make new clothes when I go to the county seat, and I can eat meat.
At noon, everything was packed up,
Wang Hecui, Wu Mingli, and Wu Mingfang sat in the carriage, while Wu Qingchao, Wu Fanhui, and the sergeants were on foot.
In a few moments, the carriage arrived into the county seat and arrived at the house in the north of the city.
Wu Qingchao has always been in a trance, he can't believe that what is in front of him is true, in less than half a year, Wu Fanhui actually bought a house in the county, and the family can move to the county seat, the family's three acres of thin land, he has rented out, and the winter wheat has not been sown, as for the rent, he does not plan to charge much.
Entering the county seat, the five sergeants said goodbye and returned to the garrison yamen, this time out of the city, they took extra money, and the task of returning to the county town was also completed, these sergeants felt Wu Fanhui's different temperament along the way, they were well-behaved, and would never offend Wu Fanhui.
The carriage stopped at the door of the house.
When Wu Fanhui opened the door of the house, Wu Qingchao was still in a daze, and it wasn't until Wang Hecui opened his mouth to remind him that Wu Qingchao came back to his senses and hurriedly began to move things.
There weren't many things, and I quickly moved into the yard.
After paying the coachman money, Wu Fanhui finally entered the courtyard.
When he entered the courtyard, he closed the courtyard door.
Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang, two little girls, have been watching around in the small house.
There are a total of seven houses in the house, with a courtyard in the front and a small courtyard in the back.
The first house in front of the courtyard is naturally a hall house, behind the hall is a kitchen, there is no special dining room, and the meal is in the hall house, the three houses on the left, including a study, as well as the rooms of Wu Qingchao, Wang Hecui, and Wu Fanhui's room, and the three houses on the right, Wu Mingli and Wu Mingfang each have one, and there is also a guest room left.
The house is indeed not big, that is, it is enough to live in, and it cannot be compared with the houses of those big families.
But this is finally his own house, and from this time on, Wu Fanhui does not have to stay in the ancestral hall.
The county town is definitely different from the village.
It is already the month of Layue, although there are many homeless people and bandits, but there is still the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in the county, there are many people on the street, and there are more children, and the New Year has a special meaning for these children.
How to clean up the inside of the house, Wang Hecui is naturally responsible.
They were busy until dark, and Wang Hecui breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was hungry, Wu Fanhui proposed to go to the restaurant to eat, Wang Hecui felt that it was a waste, saying that he was cooking at home, and besides, he also brought a few wheat cakes, which he could cope with at night.
Wu Fanhui didn't insist, he knew that if he took his parents and sister to Sihailou to eat rashly, his family would definitely not be able to adapt to it.
However, Wu Fanhui still went to Sihai Restaurant in person, ordered a few dishes, including a pot of daughter red, and asked the guy to deliver it immediately.
This dinner is different from the last dinner at home, the dishes are much more exquisite and the taste is much better.
Wang Hecui was a little distressed, but Wu Qingchao didn't think about it so much, and the mellow daughter was red, so he continued to indulge in ambiguity.
It was late at night, and the two younger sisters had gone to sleep, and after a tiring day, they quickly fell asleep.
Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui couldn't sleep, they were still in the hall, looking at everything around them.
The light from the oil lamp was not very good, but for the two of them, it was a luxury.
Wu Fanhui walked to the hall, took out three ingots of silver from his arms, and put them on the table.
"Dad, mother, this is the deed and thirty taels of silver, I exchanged these things with horses, you take them, tomorrow I have to go to the school, there are two more days, the school will be on holiday, when the time comes, I will take the eldest sister and the younger sister, go to the street to buy some things, it will be the Spring Festival soon, everyone in the family will make new clothes, since you have moved to the county seat, then you must dress decently, don't be looked down upon by others, there are some things, I will be able to earn it, let those who look down on us regret."
"Bang...
Wu Qingchao punched the table and stood up suddenly.
"Well said, this is my son, my father and mother are all up to you, in the future, in this family, you have the final say, you must let some people see, no matter what they do, our life is also very good."
