The nursery rhyme returned to the town, packed the soybean milk powder in oiled paper, and thought about waiting for half a month before sending it to He Junyi.

The next day, when the two of them went to the street to buy vegetables, they saw a notice inside the yamen.

"Hey, why is this suddenly going to be conscripted, hasn't the border gate always been good before, I knew that I wouldn't let our family separate."

An old woman slapped her thigh and said with red eyes.

There were a few women standing next to her, and the expressions on their faces were not very good.

Nursery rhyme glanced into the crowd, and with the sound of everyone talking in her ears, she took Chen Xuan's hand and walked outside.

"Xianggong, what should our family do?"

Chen Xuan said with a calm face.

"I'll ask about the situation and see if I can make up for it with money."

The two of them turned around and went to the yamen, but fortunately, they were very lucky, and they happened to see the master who came out of it.

The master saw that the two of them had a good attitude.

"You're here to find an adult?"

Chen Xuan smiled lightly.

"That's it, master, just now we saw the notice of the yamen, saying that we are going to recruit soldiers, we want to ask, can this recruitment be mortgaged with money?"

The master glanced at the two of them, the smile on his face retracted, and he sighed.

"Yes, fifty taels of silver is worth one person, and ten taels of silver used to be enough, but recently the war at the border is urgent, and the court also wants to gather more people to go up."

Nursery rhyme condensed in her heart, she was really afraid that if the situation was more serious, what should the court do if she didn't want money and asked for someone directly?

But fortunately, the situation is not that serious.

Chen Xuan felt the tension of the nursery rhyme, and he smiled at the master.

"Thank you, master."

The master waved his hand.

"I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Career goes slowly."

When the master left, the nursery rhyme took Chen Xuan's hand tightly.

"Xianggong, I'm really worried."

"Don't worry, our country is strong, there should be no problem, besides, now there are so many displaced people, if you want to come to the court, you will hit them with ideas."

In fact, this is also just right, it can alleviate the problem of displaced people in various places, and it can also send soldiers to the battlefield, which is also a double win.

Tong Yao nodded, stretched out her hand and touched her belly, she was still a little flustered, since she was pregnant with a child, there have been things happening on their side, to be honest, she is afraid, afraid that when she gives birth to a child, her father-in-law will not be by her side.

It's just that their thoughts turned quickly, and fifty taels of silver was actually still a bit of pressure on them now, and they didn't have much liquidity in their hands at all.

"What?"

When Second Aunt He heard the news, the whole person was gone, and her eyes immediately turned red, thinking about this woman who had been tempered by life, she had carried many things before, but in the face of the decision of the imperial court, they had no room to resist at all.

"This, why is there going to be a war, how long has it been better, why is it like this, doesn't this mean that you don't want us to live?"

The nursery rhyme glanced at Chen Xuan, and both of them were helpless.

He Man also seems to be preoccupied, their family is that he and his father are strong men, he can't ask his father to go to the battlefield at such a big age, think about it, it's only been a few days, and so many things have been born.

"Second aunt, if it's really not good, if you look at how much money you still have in your hand, let's make it together together, if we hadn't bought a house in Fucheng, fifty taels of silver would not be much for us, but now."

Aunt He looked at the nursery rhyme, shook her head and said.

"Nursery rhyme girl, I know that you and Ah Xuan are both good people, and I also know your difficulties, so I will go and discuss with the master, estimate it, and I may have to borrow thirty taels of silver from you at that time."

After saying this, she was a little ashamed.

Nursery rhyme held her hand.

"Okay."

He Man saw that his second aunt was gone, and he also looked at the nursery rhyme and Chen Xuan.

Nursery rhyme smiled.

"Manzi, you don't have to look at the store today, just have us here, you hurry back to the village and tell the people in the village the news, if you don't have the money here, it's the same as the second aunt's side, how much is missing, we will make up."

"Thank you, Brother Chen, Sister-in-law Chen."

He Man said gratefully.

"Let's go."

After a while, only the nursery rhyme couple and Jiang Cuihua sisters and brothers were left in the restaurant.

Jiang Cuihua touched Jiang Yang's head and sighed.

The nursery rhyme also glanced at Jiang Yang and said with a smile.

"Fortunately, Jiang Yang is young."

Jiang Cuihua also nodded happily.

"Today, you don't have to cook stir-fried vegetables here, just sell noodles and rice noodles, otherwise you won't be busy."

"Yes."

The nursery rhyme went to the work shop next to Chen Xuan, the two of them reconciled the accounts, the nursery rhyme had a calculation in his heart, the profit was about fifty taels of silver, and the business of the restaurant was bleak this month, but it should also be profitable, and she was finally relieved.

"I don't know if the business at the dock will be affected by then."

"No, it won't."

Chen Xuan said very firmly.

The nursery rhyme looked at the side of her man's face and suddenly smiled.

"Xianggong, you must stay by my side and the baby, I'm scared without you."

It was rare to see such a fragile side of nursery rhymes, Chen Xuan was a little distressed, and hurriedly responded gently.

"Don't be afraid, I will always protect you and our children."

"Hmm."

He Man returned to the village, went directly to the field to find his father, and told He Yong about the matter, He Yong was shocked.

"Manzi, can you see clearly?"

He Man saw his father like this, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Dad, that's right, the people in the town have spread all over now, and if you want to be exempted from conscription, you need fifty taels of silver for one person."

The corners of He Yong's mouth twitched a few times, and his eyes lost their attention for a moment, but fortunately, he was called back by He Man.

"Dad, you hurry up and go back to see how much silver our family still has, I still have dozens of taels of silver on hand, let's get together and see how much there is, I also borrow some from Brother Chen, the borrowed money will be repaid after all, we can't get it on the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, people like us who have no eyes on the sword, and if they go, they will die as cannon fodder."

He Yong swallowed his saliva, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he was chattering in his mouth.

"That's right, you can't go, Manzi, our family doesn't go, we pay for it."

He is such a lone seedling, where can he go to the battlefield, he can't go himself, he has never suffered such a crime in his life, he still wants to hug his grandson, gritted his teeth.

"You go back and tell your mother about the matter first, and I'll go and tell the people in the village the news, no matter what, let them prepare early."

After saying that, he sighed, he could already imagine the reaction of everyone after knowing the news.

He Man nodded in response.

", this won't let our family live."

As soon as He Yong stood at the head of the village and finished talking about the matter, there was immediately a woman sitting on the ground, if it was in the past, there were many idlers who would laugh at it, but today is surprisingly that everyone is preoccupied and has no energy to care about others.

The cry of the woman and the cry of the child were obviously in the early spring, but they made it a little sad.

He Yong looked at the dejected appearance of everyone, and wanted to say that he could still use money to pay off, but he also knew that fifty taels of silver was an astronomical amount for a farmer.

So I don't hate to mention this mouthful.

Among the village women, I am afraid that only the Zhu family is proud, because her family Zhu Chengping is a showman, and such a person does not need to be recruited.

"Okay, you Zhu family, what are you laughing at, you black-hearted mother-in-law, seeing everyone crying, but you are laughing here, I think you should send your Zhu Chengping to the front to fight."

Jiang, who was already sad and had no outlet, saw Zhu's smiling appearance coldly, how could she not be angry in her heart.

Zhu was not afraid of her at this time, raised his eyebrows, and the pie was also upright.

"Jiang, I know you're sad, but you don't have to say that my family is peaceful, he is a showman, and he doesn't need to be conscripted."

She is still relatively reserved on her face, and her expression is not very obvious, but there is still a trace of smugness in her tone.

The expressions of everyone looking at Zhu are also very complicated, and the people who are envious in their hearts are very much, who let their own family just not provide a talented master.

He Yong also sighed when he saw this, thinking that the fifty taels of silver he wanted to give out would not be used by anyone, and sure enough, there would be no harm if there was no comparison.

"Jiang, you're okay, it's useless to quarrel here, you should go to be a soldier, or you still have to be a soldier, you have the energy to cry, it's better to go back and think about which son to go."

As soon as she heard He Yong say this, Jiang cried again, her three sons were all her baby bumps, and she worked hard to raise them.

On this day, no one in the village went inside, but the crying in the village did not stop.

He Yong's family sat at the table.

Mrs. Li Zheng touched her tears, looked at He Yong who was smoking dry tobacco from time to time, and then looked at her son on the other side, and finally looked at the pile of silver coins on the table, her eyes were full of reluctance and entanglement.

"If you are in charge, you really have to take it all out, so you can't borrow a little more from Chen Xuan, my mother's family."

"Shut up!"

He Yong glared at his mother-in-law angrily.

He Man also looked at his mother dissatisfied.

"Mother, Brother Chen and Sister-in-law Chen are willing to lend us money, that is already kind, their family originally bought a house in Fucheng, and there is not much silver in their hands, if it weren't for the relationship between our two families, this silver money is not easy to borrow."

Mrs. Li Zheng was aggrieved in her heart, thinking about the situation of her mother's family, and said stubbornly.

"The head of the family, Manzi, it's not me messing around, it's my eldest brother and their family, we might as well borrow more money like the Chen family."

He Yong knew what his mother-in-law thought in her heart, and her heart was not bad, but since the Chen family had told Manzi so, it meant that their family did not have much cash, although it was the Yue family, but this person was selfish, and he was not as important as his own son.
