When Li Qin left the house, he heard He shouting from behind: "Son, be careful when you enter the city, you will hide and walk when you see a scoundrel......"

I heard Li Tian say angrily again: "Foolish mother-in-law, what kind of scoundrel is it, why do you want to avoid them?" If my Li family's sons and daughters have to suffer even the losses of scoundrels, how can they shine in the future? Son, don't listen to your mother, if you go into the city and see scoundrels, don't beat them softly, it's a big deal not to live here, what's the big deal! ”

Li Qin turned around and said loudly: "Daddy doesn't have to worry, my son has lost face once, and he won't lose it a second time!" He raised the stick in his hand and turned away.

After walking a short distance, he arrived at Zhao's house, Zhao Bajin had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Li Qin coming, he carried the dead sheep on his shoulders and went out of the village with Li Qin. Fujiao Village is in the north of Fuping County, and they go all the way to the south.

On the way, Zhao Bajin said: "Nephew Li, you have to go to see your sister first when you enter the city, right?" Then I'll go to the market to sell sheep, it is estimated that I will have to sell it for nothing, after you see your sister, come to look for me, let's go back to the village together. ”

Li Qin shook his head and said: "I have to stay at my sister's house, and I have to help my sister do some work, like chopping wood and carrying water, and I can only go home after I settle down." ”

Zhao Bajin nodded and said, "That's fine." Pity your sister, marry a man, dress and eat, but she didn't even have a good day after marrying Jia Wenhu, I advised your father not to find a scholar to be his son-in-law, but he just didn't listen. What filial piety, I think it's the same as his surname, fake. ”

Li Qin frowned, his Li family was dissatisfied with Jia Wenhu's son-in-law, but he didn't want to hear others say the same. He said: "My brother-in-law is filial piety and has a bright future, and he should be back soon." My sister stayed at home to take care of her in-laws, and even if her brother-in-law was developed, she would have to respect her for three points. ”

Zhao Bajin said: "I haven't had a letter back for two years, it's not been peaceful this year, maybe he died outside...... Phew, look at my mouth, nephew Li, don't be angry, I'm not trying to curse your brother-in-law! ”

Li Qin smiled, and didn't take it to heart, but felt that maybe his brother-in-law was really not popular, otherwise why didn't others have anything good to say about him.

Ten miles of road is not far, and after a short time they arrived at the county seat of Fuping.

Fuping County was originally the first county of Beidi County, the land governed by the county, but because it was located in the frontier, the imperial court ordered the rich households in the county to move inward, and the rich families were afraid of property loss, so they were naturally willing to move inward, but the poor who cared still stayed here. When there were fewer locals, a large number of outsiders moved in, and even many Hu people came to settle here, and the result was that the law and order became even worse, and the government was powerless.

After all, it was only a county, but because it was once the land governed by the county, the county guard also moved inward and went to the interior to be a short officer, which caused the Beidi County to have no county guard, leaving only a Fuping county order, but it was impossible to command the whole county. The counties were autonomous, and the county commanders did not interact with each other, and they only cared about their own territory, and the result was that the trouble was even greater, and bandits were rampant.

But although the Beidi County is chaotic, it is biased out of the warriors, like the warlords Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in the late Han Dynasty all started from Xiliang, and their main elite are all selected from the Beidi County. Xiliang is strong, but the strongest is the soldiers of Beidi County.

Emperor Ling was in power, the eunuchs were dictatorial, the ministers were busy with infighting, all of them were short-sighted people, no one cared about the life or death of the people in the frontier, they would not have expected that a few years later there would be a fire from north to south, burning the entire Han court to ashes, and the source of this fire is now the place where Li Qin is stepping on it.

Li Qin stood in front of the city gate, looking at the dilapidated city wall, he sighed, is this the county seat? What a disappointment!

He originally thought that Fuping should be a huge city, after all, it was once governed by the county, but he never expected that the city wall in front of him was not much higher than the traffic lights on the road in later generations, and it was not a brick wall but an earthen wall, where could this kind of city wall withstand the enemy's attack? No wonder the rich moved inward, the county guard ran away, and when I saw this kind of city wall, it was strange that the Hun soldiers on the grassland did not come!

There were a few small soldiers squatting lazily at the gate of the city, leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, and when they saw Li Qin and Zhao Bajin coming, they ignored them, as if they didn't see them. After entering the city gate, the two separated, Li Qin went to his sister's house, and Zhao Bajin went to the market to sell sheep.

Before parting, Zhao Bajin said: "Nephew Li, after you see your sister, you will come to the set to find me, I know the little tax collector, and he will be able to make two wine money, so that after we sell something, we will save the tax money, otherwise we will draw one tax money every two days, but we will pay it unjustly!" ”

Li Qin agreed, said goodbye to Zhao Bajin, and followed his vague memory to find his sister's house, he remembered that it seemed to be in a small alley, not too far from the city gate.

When he didn't walk for a long time, he turned two corners, and the familiar alley appeared in front of him, Li Qin looked into the alley, and saw a chaimen at the end, through which he could see three broken grass houses in the yard, which was the residence of his sister Li Jia.

Li Qin strode to the door and shouted through the chai door: "Sister, Li Jia, Jia Li, are you at home?" ”

The door creaked open, Li Jia walked out, and said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here, your injuries are healed?" I was planning to come home tomorrow to see you. ”

Li Jia is only in her early twenties, such as in modern times, she is in her prime, and she is a good age with thousands of favors, but because of her difficult life, she has aged prematurely. Tall, but slightly rickety, originally quite a bit of a posture, but because of the heavy dishes, it looks like he is in his thirties.

She had a hard time in the city, and she had to take care of her in-laws, she didn't work, she couldn't eat, she finally saved a day's food yesterday, and she planned to settle her in-laws, and she would go home tomorrow to see her brother, but she didn't think that her brother was here, and it seemed that her injuries were healed.

Li Jia trotted over, opened the chai door, and said, "Good brother, let my sister see, are you all healed?" Hold Li Qin's hand and look up and down.

When Li Qin saw her, he naturally felt a sense of closeness, and said with a smile: "My injury is in the back of my head, it is not serious, but now it is all healed." You see, there's no scar at all. He turned his head and asked Li Jia to look at the back of his head.

Li Jia opened her hair and looked at it, nodded and said, "It's really not a scar left, it's okay, I'll see the scoundrel in the future, just hide and go." Her words were the same as Ho's.

While talking, two old people came out of the house, who were her in-laws.

Jia's father and mother are about the same age as Li Tianhe's family, both in their fifties, and Jia's mother is also very old. But Father Jia looked like he was born from a rich family, and he was always old enough, but Pu'er was quite big, stroked his white beard, and said: "It turns out that Li Lang has arrived, the in-laws are good, don't come to harm?" ”

Li Qin was slightly stunned, a little uncomfortable with the title of Li Lang, he said: "My father and mother are fine, Uncle Lao Jia's greetings!" ”

Li Qin raised the things in his hand and said, "I'll bring you something......" He told him about last night, and gave Li Jia the ribs and lean meat he brought.

Li Jia was surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but be afraid, and warned Li Qin not to do this next time, Jia's mother also said the same, the old lady was very concerned about Li Qin, and the two of them were even more surprised when they saw the ribs and lean meat, and they both said that they had given too many things.

But Jia's father said: "Li Lang is very capable, and it is not too bad for your brother-in-law, and when your brother-in-law becomes rich and noble in the future, you will not lose the face of my Jia family if you do things for him." ”

Li Qinyi frowned, no wonder everyone was annoying his brother-in-law, looking at his father's appearance, he knew that his brother-in-law was not good. He said: "Then you are busy first, I will go to the market to sell the leopard skin, I will spend the night here tonight, if there is heavy work at home, stay until I come back to do it." He took the stick, tightened the package on his back, and was about to go out.

When he arrived at the door, he stopped, and was very unhappy with Jia's father's words, his son didn't know where to go, and he was so bored to boast about himself, he turned around and asked: "People in the village call my brother-in-law Jia Wenhu, but his popularity is very good?" After speaking, without waiting for an answer, he turned around and walked away.

But Father Jia behind him said angrily: "Countrymen will talk nonsense, what is warm, it is a table of words and words, your brother-in-law is a big name, Xu is to carry forward the meaning of Zhang Da, and it is a good name." Countrymen don't know how to be polite, they can only talk nonsense, and there is really no cure! ”

Li Qin sighed, turned around, and said, "Jia Xu, my brother-in-law's name is Jia Xu?" Uncle Jia is from Wuwei? He only knew that Jia Xu was from Wuwei, Liangzhou, but he didn't know if his brother-in-law was the famous poisoner in history.

Father Jia nodded and said, "The ancestor is indeed a Wuwei person, don't you know, why do you still ask?" After a pause, he said: "Since I came to Fuping, the wind and rain have been smooth here, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Jia Mu sighed and said, "Old man, what are you talking about, we are fleeing from the famine, and others are not ignorant, besides, there was a big drought here last year, where was the wind and rain smooth?" ”

Father Jia said angrily: "What kind of old man, if you want to call your husband, the older you get, the more you don't remember your surname......"

Li Jia hurriedly pushed Li Qin and said, "Aren't you going to Jishang, let's go!" She didn't want Li Qin to see her in-laws arguing.

Li Qin heaved and said: "My brother-in-law has a reputation for filial piety, and he has a bright future, so he will return to his hometown soon, and my sister will be happy to come by then, but remember to call my brother-in-law a husband!" Laughing, he went out of the courtyard and went to look for the market.

Father Jia praised in the back: "Li Lang has insight, and knows that your brother-in-law will definitely return to his hometown, and when your brother-in-law comes back, he will definitely promote and cultivate you!" ”

Li Jia and Jia Mu were very embarrassed, afraid that Li Qin would hear this and laugh at them. Jia Xu has been away from home for more than two years, and he didn't bring a word to his home, and he said that he would return to his hometown in fine clothes, and it would be good to come back alive.

Li Qin walked out of the alley, turned onto the avenue, and thought: "Jia Xu actually fell into Fuping and married my sister." My father and mother also said that they were fooled and married my sister in the first place, how can they be fooled...... Well, even if you are fooled, but this one is also quite discerning, among the celebrities of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, those who can be rich and noble for life and have a good death are only Jia Xu! ”

Although he didn't remember the road in the city, he walked along the crowded place, and after a while, he came to a clearing and saw many people shouting loudly.

——

Jia Xu's strength is still quite high, calculating others is very good, and treating himself understands that in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, he can die well, which is a great thing in itself.
