Chapter 145 Price II
Li Mei'e still refuses to call Yang Chengzu brother-in-law, but she is well-behaved and cute, and the family treats her as a baby, and this brother is also very useful, so Yang Chengzu has no choice but to admit it.
He was broken by the little girl in his daytime, Rao is Yang Chengzu was thick-skinned and a little embarrassed, so he had to say: "The two dead girls who are holding the bow with a sword don't know what to do, and they didn't even stop anyone." Your sister? Where is she? ”
"My sister is waiting for my brother in the living room, my brother will come with me." After all, Mei'e is young, no matter how smart she is, she doesn't know what good things are bad for her. I just felt that Sister Zhao's face was much redder than usual, and she didn't take out delicious candy.
The little girl dragged Yang Chengzu's clothes by the corner and pulled him to the living room, where she saw Li Yu'e sitting. During this period, Li Yu'e's illness was basically cured, and she still went back to her home every day to rest, and worked in the teahouse during the day. After all, although the folk customs are gradually becoming more and more civilized at present, it is not possible for a girl who has not been out of the cabinet to live outside for a long time.
Zhao Qiniang sent a few disciples of the Cao Gang to the Li family to make trouble a few times, and it seemed that Jiao Rong's father and son also knew that they were powerful, and they didn't dare to pester her again. It's just that her attitude towards Yang Chengzu is always lukewarm, far from being close when they were children.
When Yang Chengzu saw her coming, he also snorted, "Second sister, why are you so idle, and you want to look at me?" Could it be that the teahouse has no business, and Ruxian is on holiday, so you are wandering around? ”
Li Yu'e gave a salute and said, "I'...... I heard a piece of news and came to ask my brother for confirmation. But what is your mission, you want to go to Shaanxi? ”
Yang Chengzu knew that most of this was heard from Ruxian Nasao, and nodded: "Yes." I still have something to do here, and when the cooking is over, I'll go to Shaanxi. What's the matter, what kind of bride price does the second sister want, and she needs Shaanxi's specialties? If you need it, just open an order, and I'll find it for you. ”
Li Yu'e knew that the other party was mentioning the conditions for saving Mei'e at the beginning, so she bowed her head and said: "What I promised you, I will definitely fulfill my promise, the daughter of the Li family will never break her word, just rest assured." My little sister is here for something, please help. My mother...... She's going to kill my brother. ”
It turned out that she didn't come to the door during this time because Jiyin was also injured at home. Jiao's mind was vicious, and he deliberately instructed Li Jiyin to do some heavy work, and used him as a servant. Jiyin is just an eight-year-old child, and he used to be pampered in the past, where did he do heavy work.
was in a hurry by Jiao's envoy, missed for a while, and was scalded by hot soup. At that time, it was when Yang Chengzu jumped into the river to block the breach, Li Yu'e could only take care of his brother first, and the Yang family couldn't show up.
Finally, this sister took good care of her, and she poured out her face to borrow a dozen taels of silver from Ruxian to ask for a doctor for her younger brother, and now the injury is basically healed, and there is no major hindrance.
However, Jiao saw that Jiyin was fine, and proposed that Li Xiong died in Shaanxi, and his bones were not allowed to return to his hometown, which was not the way of the Son of Man. Letting his father's bones see the sky violates basic filial piety, and Li Jiyin, as a son, has to go to the side court to collect his father's bones.
Daming has no rules for sending the bones of fallen soldiers back to their hometowns, eating food and being a soldier, and dying in battle is commonplace. If you die, dig a pit and bury it, and then give some compensation to your family. Most of the time, even if the pension is burned and buried, it will fall into the pocket of the official, and the soldier will not be able to get it.
If there are family members of military men who want to collect the bones, they often have to use money to make some of them, otherwise they will not be able to take away the corpses. Li Xiong is an official body, and unlike ordinary soldiers, his bones were not buried indiscriminately with those corpses, but were buried separately, and it is said that even armor and weapons were also there. This is done to take into account the dignity of the imperial court, and secondly, when redeeming the bones, you can ask for a few more money, after all, it is a hereditary thousand households, and it is always richer than ordinary military men.
Jiao's is to ask Li Jiyin to go to the border pass and bring the bones back. Speaking of this, Li Yu'e said: "Jiyin is not yet ten years old this year, and he is still a child, and he has traveled thousands of miles to the three sides. The mountains and rivers are steep, the roads are difficult, and there is a border pass, I don't know how many dangers, he went to die or live. Jiao's goal is clearly to borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of Jiyin, so that his son Yanu can attack the lord. But...... But if Jiyin doesn't go, and violates filial piety, Jiao's just takes advantage of the topic to play, and there is no hope for this job. ”
Yang Chengzu said: "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Since my brother is going to Shaanxi on business, I wonder if you can ask you to do it for me and bring my father's bones back, so as to save my brother from the catastrophe. I...... I will repay you in the future. ”
"In the future? When? Next life? Yang Chengzu shook his head, "I'm not a monk, I don't believe in accumulating blessings in this life and enjoying it in the next life, I will recognize this life, so I won't listen to what I say if I am a woman in the next life." I don't believe it at all, why should I help you with this kind of help? ”
Li Yu'e's face changed slightly, and only after a while did she say, "I'...... I am the descendant of the Li family, and if my younger brother is a knight, he will be an official of the imperial court. ”
"So you feel sorry for your family style as a concubine, right? I've already seen your thoughts, anyway, do you like to marry or not, wait a few years, and there will be Mei'e to top the account. As for this busy, I'm sorry, I don't have that much time to spare, you can go. ”
Mei'e obviously didn't understand what her brother and sister were arguing about, but she knew that the two were arguing, so she hurriedly shook Yang Chengzu's arm and said, "Brother, don't quarrel with your sister, okay?" It's all Mei'e's fault, Mei'e will be your daughter-in-law in the future, so don't be angry with your sister. ”
She didn't know what it meant to be a daughter-in-law, but she was teased by Ruxian on weekdays, so she used it to please at this time. But when Li Yu'e heard this, it was like being whipped and her body trembled, she gritted her teeth, and said after a while: "Is it ...... Is it because I obeyed you, and you are willing to help my brother? ”
"That's right, you obeyed me, we are a family, naturally I want to give my brother-in-law a head. Besides, the bones of Old Taishan are outside, it's not like words, is it? But don't be reluctant, I don't have to ask you, Xiao Mei'e is so cute, she must be a good girl when she grows up. In fact, if your brother goes to Shaanxi by himself, it doesn't mean that something has to happen, I can find someone for him to take him for a while, as for the rest, it depends on his own creation. ”
"Can't you wait for my filial piety?"
"I'm sorry, I don't trust your credibility much right now. Three years is too long, and God knows what will happen. When your brother is killed, you can either push back the rule or compensate me in some other way. I can also think of this kind of idea, so don't use it with me. ”
Li Yu'e saw that he even guessed his thoughts, and then thought of the thin little brother at home, and then looked at Mei'e, who was pinched into a big cake by Yang Chengzu, and said resolutely: "You...... You let go of Mei'e, I promise you, just follow your wishes. ”
