Chapter Seventy-Five: Zang Xi (1)
Seeing that the New Year is about to end, I can't be even busier when I wait until around the New Year.
Hagi Niang decided to go to Ruan's Mansion to take Zang Xi home first, so it was easy to get out by herself, and this New Year must be spent with her younger brother.
Now the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a rare period of strength, the northerners and several Hu people are taking care of themselves, and the Beifu soldiers took the opportunity to take several states and counties, all of which are about to hit the Yellow River Valley, until the Eastern Jin Dynasty perished, they have not been able to obtain a larger territory than now.
Although it was relatively peaceful, Hagi Niang was still worried about the dangers she might encounter on the way to Liyang.
It's not impossible to say that it's not impossible to ask for a dart game, and our Zang Mansion is not bad for this money, but now strong people are not only bodyguards, but also part-time robbers, and they want to find a reliable dart game.
When I was in trouble, I could only hear the knocking sound on the pane.
Hagi Niang walked over suspiciously and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Jinu, who was blinking with a pair of big eyes, was standing outside the window, looking at her with a smile.
"Jinnu, why haven't you been here for so long, Caitang is about to kill you." Hagi Niang said happily and told Cai Ling to call Cai Tang.
The slave's cheerful eyes immediately looked a little melancholy, and he said unhappily, "I'm here to see you." Recently, the weather has been cold, and the army is resting and recuperating, giving everyone a holiday in turn. I can go to the army again after the New Year. ”
"That's just right, I was about to say that the New Year was not as lively as last year, and we ate dumplings together last year, do you remember?"
"I remember." When the slave talked about the past, he looked very warm, and his eyes were crooked.
Hagi Niang remembered what she had done, and hurriedly asked him: "Jinu, do you have acquaintances in the army, En...... Those who have better martial arts and more upright character, do they also have vacations? ”
Jinu looked at her in confusion: "I have it, but what do you have to do?" He looked worried, obviously overthinking.
Hagi Niang said happily: "I'm going to Liyang, the road is not very peaceful, I want to invite a few bodyguards, and I don't know much about it." So I would like to ask you if your friend can come with me and send me back. You can rest assured, the remuneration is definitely more than the ordinary dart game, and it will definitely not let your friends suffer. ”
Jinu was full of thoughts and just wanted to please Hagi Niang, so he agreed, and he said: "No problem, you will notify me on the day you decide to leave, and I will call three or five friends to come over to help you press the formation." ”
Hagi Niang said worriedly: "Three or five people...... Will it be too little? I'm afraid of danger on the road. ”
The slave rolled his eyes, no matter how martial arts the dart master of the dart bureau is, it is also a showmanship, and the soldiers of the Beifu soldiers have killed people and seen blood, and the murderous spirit of the body is soaring, and the dart master is completely two grades, just like letting the lion catch mice, it is simply overkill.
He didn't like to be quick to speak, so he just said lightly: "Don't worry, how can I joke with your safety." ”
Hagi Niang nodded and said, "It should be just a few days, where do you live now?" ”
Liu Jinu's father Liu Qiao has already continued, and he also has a stepmother, whose surname is Xiao, but she is also quite kind.
Jinu wrote her address and handed it to Hagi Niang, she solved a matter on her mind, and smiled very happily.
On the day of the winter solstice, Hagi Niang took Cui's mother, Cai Tang and Ling, and went to Liyang under the escort of the slaves, leaving Li's mother and other maids to take care of the house.
Several tall sergeants of the Beifu soldiers all rode military horses, typical public weapons for private use, and it would be the time of the truce, and the rules in the army were not so strict. Liu Jinu proudly introduced his brothers to Haginiang one by one: "This is Sun Wuzhong's eldest brother, my good brother, and the three of us are friends with our sons." Kindness...... There is also a big brother Liu, as I told you before, they usually take good care of me and teach me a lot of martial arts. It's just that Brother Liu is busy with affairs in the army and has no vacation, so I will introduce you next time I have the opportunity. ”
Sun Wuzhong is a tall man in his twenties, he arched his hand at Haginiang, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law's safety along the way is wrapped up in my grandson's life, please rest assured." ”
Hagi Niang sweated, and hurriedly smiled: "I've seen General Sun." He asked Cui's mother to hand over the two ingots of silver that had been prepared.
Sun Wuzhong did not shirk, accepted it happily, and praised several words like "sister-in-law is really virtuous".
Seeing that Haginiang didn't explain or get angry, Ji Nule blossomed, and he continued to introduce excitedly: "This is He Wuji, the nephew of Liu Gaozhi's eldest brother, and we often practice martial arts together. ”
He Wuji is also very young, almost a teenager, but he is awe-inspiring, heroic, carrying his usual weapon on his back, and has the demeanor of a martial arts master. It's just that he is a little thin-skinned, and he is a little overwhelmed in the face of his female dependents, so he only bows his hand and is speechless.
Hagi Niang was very pleased, I thought that the slave's friends were all walking dogs, bullying men and women, so it seems that I still underestimated the slaves, the so-called things gather by like, people are divided into groups, these are all good men, it can be seen that the slaves in the army should be very happy.
After the two sides finished the ceremony, the slave dragged a child with bright eyes and a somewhat similar appearance to him, and casually introduced: "This is my aunt's son, my younger brother Liu Huaijing, we grew up together since childhood." You just have to send him if you have something, although he is not strong in martial arts, he is also a little smart. ”
Maybe it's the relationship between each other since childhood, Liu Huaijing, a child who grew up eating the same mother's milk as the slave, is five points similar to the slave in appearance, especially the smart eyes, which are almost the same as Liu Jinu. He called out in a proper manner: "Hello sister-in-law." A pair of eyes full of aura looked Hagi Niang's expression up and down.
Finished...... This sister-in-law's name can't be shaken off, but she and the slave do have the order of their parents, which is not nonsense. What's more, she doesn't want and can't break this child's heart in front of his friends, which is not her way of dealing with people. I can only slowly find a way to correct it in the future, Hagi Niang thought helplessly.
Sure enough, I arrived in Liyang safely and smoothly. After entering the city, Jinu took his "fox friend and dog friend" to the tavern to drink, and made an appointment with Hagi Niang to meet at the gate of Ruan's mansion tomorrow morning and return to Beijing together.
Seeing the graceful and luxurious Mrs. Ruan Jiatai again, Hagi Niang's mood and mood are completely different. At this time, she was no longer suspicious, but sincerely expressed her gratitude to Mrs. Ruan: "Grandmother, thanks to Cui's mother this time, my son was able to find out the truth of the year and fulfill his filial piety for his mother. My son was very grateful and thanked my grandmother for her love. "The gift list is indispensable, but Hagi Niang did not send a very heavy gift, but sent some quite affectionate living utensils, including porcelain and bronze, all of which are the latest styles of Jiankang, each of which is beautiful and practical, and the design is exquisite, which shows that the gift giver has spent some effort to choose.
Mrs. Ruan asked, "How well have you taken care of your mother's current life?" ”
