Chapter 285: The Night in Liaodong
The night in Liaodong in November was already extremely cold, and the armor and double coat on his body still could not withstand the ravages of the cold wind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qi Buchen tightened the straps of his armor again. This is the second time he's done so. Feeling the coldness of his body, Qi Buchen shrank his body, it was already mid-hour, and there were still more than three hours, this night was really long.
After Qi Buchen returned home from the Battle of Iron Mountain, he sent the 25 taels of silver he had stolen from a Korean family on the way back to the army to his cousin's house.
At that time, Dahasu's family was sad, his wife and a six-year-old son, five-year-old daughter hugged their heads and cried, Dahasu's father and mother, that is, Qi Buchen's uncle and aunt, were also sad, the eldest son died in battle, the second son was also in Quang Ninh, the younger son was sixteen years old and not yet a ding, Dahasu is the pillar of the family, and now the pillar is gone, although the second son is also in the army, but he is a Yu Ding guard, the family is old and young, and there will be more worries in the future.
For the twenty-five taels of silver sent by Qi Buchen, Uncle Wuertu only symbolically accepted five taels of silver, but said something that made Qi Buchen cry, "Qi Buchen, uncle has always seen that you are willing to work, clever, and tenacious, and is very optimistic about you, so he agreed to let Dahasu take you, and in the future, we will count on you and Dahasu, but I didn't expect Dahasu to go now, your second brother you also know, people are too cowardly, can't afford this family, your third brother is too small, and his body is thin, if you come out in the future, I am grateful to take care of Dahasselblad's children more, uncle. ”
"Uncle, rest assured, my nephew is not such a wolf-hearted person, although Qi Buchen is only Yu Ding now. But there is a little bit of interest in the future. I will never forget the grace of Dahasselbla's promotion. Qi Buchen said with tears in his eyes.
"Hmm. Qi Buchen, when my uncle saw that you came to deliver the silver, he knew that you were a benevolent and righteous child, so he said this to you, and you really did not disappoint your uncle. Your rabbit laughed miserably.
"Uncle, Qi Buchen has been taken care of by Big Brother Daomeng along the way, and I will never dare to forget this kindness." Qi Buchen wiped away his tears.
"Okay, Uncle is now giving you a chance to improve, Dahasu's Niu Lu Zhangjing Nar Bu is my uncle's former Shangguan. Uncle blocked the arrows for him back then, and Dahasu joined the army with him, and Lord Naerbu took care of him, and his uncle told him that he would definitely let you follow him, how about it, Qi Buchen, can you do it. Urtu looked at Qi Buchen fixedly.
"Uncle, rest assured, Qi Buchen is only afraid that there is no chance, and he is not afraid of all difficulties." Hear it here. Qi Buchen, who was suffering from no chance and could only mess around in Yu Ding, said proudly. He would rather die in battle like Dahasu than steal his life.
"Okay, Uncle didn't misread you." Your rabbit high-fived and said, "You go home first, and then I will know you." ”
After Qi Buchen returned home, he handed over twenty taels of silver to his father, and when his father saw his son come back, he got back twenty taels of silver, of course, he was happy, but he was not in the mood when he thought of the pain of losing his eldest brother's son.
In this way, Qi Buchen waited at home for more than ten days, and finally followed his uncle to Narb's mansion, and then became Narbu's entourage and a soldier.
At the time of parting, the words of my uncle were vivid, "Diligence, bravery, and loyalty." ”
Thinking about his uncle's words, Qi Buchen straightened up regardless of the cold wind.
"How were the soldiers of the two guards last night?" Narb asked.
"Master Bing, Hatu was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the middle of the day, standing in a daze, Qi Buchen was on duty all night, very vigilant." The old butler Bucktan replied.
"Well, Qi Buchen finally lived up to my expectations, Hatu, I didn't expect him to be so overwhelmed." Narb said with a cold face.
The Wang family gathered in the Elu Mansion, and after more than half a year, the father and son finally reunited, but He Zhuo was already married, and the Elu family was one less person. Eru, Nemin, Itaia, Shulan, Bayana, and Alin gathered together for a reunion dinner.
After the meal, the women gave up the lobby to the men, and they retreated into the inner hall.
"Amma, big brother, how is the harvest at home this year." Bayana asked, sipping milk tea.
"The family has more than 2,000 acres of land, and has received more than 1,400 stone of rice grain, excluding the field endowment handed in, there are 1,100 stones, and in addition to the family rations and the rations of the Han slaves, there are nearly 1,000 stones, that is, less than 1,000 taels of silver, which is about the same as the silver we brought back from the Ming Kingdom." Erlu also said while drinking tea.
"I'm worried about my family's harvest in Quang Ninh, the land in that area is barren, the harvest is not good, and many cattle are complaining." Bayan'a has been out for nearly a year, knows a lot of things, and is also concerned about the family's harvest.
"This is the best harvest our family has ever had since we acquired this acre. Of course, next year, even if the wind and rain are good, you won't be able to earn so much. Erlu sighed.
"Why is that?" Bayana was surprised.
"In the south and north, the Hermes-Epitek has begun to settle the fields, and they have handed in five achievements of the harvest, but now these coats are indignant, and they must be given some income from next year, otherwise people's hearts will be unstable." Itai said.
"Why, this is the acres of land laid by our family, and these coatings are the life of work." Bayan said viciously.
"Just because they do good or bad work is the same for them, they can't do it well, and the yield per mu of Hermes-Epitek's tuntian can reach nearly one stone, and our family's talent is less than eight buckets." Itaea glared at her brother.
"Why is there such a big gap, I remember Ama said that the acres of land at home are all good land." Bayan'a revealed at this point that he knew nothing about the problems here.
"You, you still have a lot of experience." Erlu shook his head, "Let your brother tell you a good story." ”
Bayan'a turned to Itaea, who asked, "Are you taking care of your horses?" ”
"yes." Bayana is inexplicable.
"Why?" Itai asked dryly.
"Because the war horse is my reliance on the battlefield, if it is not familiar with me, it may kill me." Bayan Adao.
"Ah, it's your war horse that you take care of, if the acres are your own, don't you take care of them well, let him produce more grain, and you can have more money and grain left in addition to the field endowment. If it's not your own, why work hard and for whom. Itaea looked at Bayana teasingly.
Bayan was dumbfounded, "What should I do then?" ”
"What should I do, Ama Du told the coats, next year our family will also report the land to these Nikans and collect sixty percent of the rent, so Nikan is very happy." Itaea Dao.
Bayan'a was silent for a moment to digest the news.
"Bayan'a, why didn't you tell your family if you were injured when you entered the customs?" Erlu suddenly interjected.
"No... No, I'm not hurt. Bayana denied it.
"Bayan, you forgot that Bra had a good relationship with me." Erlu said dissatisfied, this kid's wings are stiff, and he wants to deceive his family for such a big injury.
"Show us where you were hurt." Itaea also said with a heavy face.
"It's on the shoulder, Nikan's arrow has been pierced, it's just a small injury, it's been healed a long time ago, I don't say I'm afraid that my family, especially Eniang, is worried." Bayan'a saw that he couldn't hide it, and finally relented.
"Okay, I know it's a small injury, but you shouldn't deceive your family, forget it, when you get married in two months, it won't be our turn to miss you." Erlu laughed.
Itaea also smiled, the kid was about to put on the halter.
Bayan shrunk his neck, this marriage was contracted by his parents, and he had never seen the bride until now.
"Ituma Niulu of Zhengbai Banner has taken a fancy to you, and married the youngest daughter of the family, Yaliqi, to you, and Bu Niu Lu has also fulfilled some of them, and you will stay in Zhengbai Banner after you get married, and don't come back when you are free. The situation here is not good, and I am afraid that there will be big trouble in the future, so try not to come and go. Erlu said in a deep voice.
"Why did Ama say this, could it be that something happened at home." Bayana exclaimed.
"There hasn't been an accident yet, but it's a matter of time, the second Belle is imprisoned, and the third Belle is in danger, Amma, I estimate that the king will collect the blue flag sooner or later, and I am a descendant of the third Belle, I'm afraid life will be very difficult." Erlu said lonely.
Erlu said it very clearly, and of course Bayana understood it.
"Amma, isn't there anything I can do, my family can't be so restrained." Bayan said unwillingly.
"What can be done, although Sanbeile is down, we can't leave lightly, this kind of betrayal is most despised in the eyes of my Jurchens, rather than living with the name of the betrayer, it is better to wait, Bayan, in the future, you will have no arm to help you in the Zhengbai Banner, and Bra can help you a little, mainly by yourself. As for your brother, as the eldest son, he can only stay in the family business. Come to think of it, the new Gushan Ezhen can't do too much. As for Hezhuo, it depends on whether Yintu can treat her well. Erlu looked at the road where there was no one in front of him.
The three fathers and sons were speechless for a while, and the situation was unconsciously dangerous, which was still surprising. In just a few months, the blue flag changed hands, and the blue flag was in danger. No one can see the road ahead, so they can only sit back and wait for the final outcome. This kind of waiting is the most exhausting, you have no choice but to wait.
After the father and son dispersed, Itaea returned to his house in a bad mood, and the scene of the sword hanging high was really depressing.
Back at home, the room was deserted, Shulan and her maid must have been playing with Eniang again, since she had this hobby, she didn't even care about home, and only returned in the middle of the night, increasingly on par with Eniang.
Yitai'a shook his head, very dissatisfied, but he didn't want to quarrel because of this, after all, Eniang was also among them, since Shulan was not there, Alin must have been sent to Wang Hui in the partial house.
Ah Lin has a very good relationship with the quiet and diligent Wang Hui, he seems to have a better relationship with Shu Lan on the side, Wang Hui is very patient, and has always played with Ah Lin.
Itaia, who hated Nikan to the bone in the past, also had to admit that Nikan women are really rare good women in the world, and they are not comparable to Jurchen rough women.
Thinking that Alin Yitaia suddenly missed his son very much, he came to the side room, and after pushing the door in, he found that Alin and Wang Hui had fallen asleep.
Ah Lin's little hand grabbed Wang Hui's hand tightly, his breathing was extremely even, and he seemed very relieved, but Wang Hui frowned lightly, lying sideways, and hugged Ah Lin with his arms, his expression was a little painful. Seeing this, Itaia's heart softened, and for the first time he felt a trace of regret for killing Wang Hui's brother. (To be continued.) )
