Chapter 105: Xiangzhou people in the snowstorm
While Anton's soldiers were jumping in the salt-like wind, the merchants of Xiangzhou entered the city gate in goose feathers and heavy snow.
The heavy snow covered the ruins after the war, and there were more civilians walking around the streets, which made Xiangzhou a little more fireworks.
Although the officers and soldiers stationed in Xiangzhou did not support the people, the people did not drive them away when they came.
There are cities, houses, and a large number of soldiers and horses, even if the food boiled in the barracks is not given at all, even if the homeless people starve to death, this is also a blessed land in the eyes of the people.
At least these officers and soldiers will not kill them for firewood, for meat to eat, will not drive them for cattle and horses, unfortunately starve to death on the side of the road, and some officers and soldiers will collect and bury them.
In this troubled world, it is also a blessing in misfortune to be able to get a seat to be swept into the ground after death.
More and more people are gathering, and as long as they have shelter, people are like weeds, struggling to survive even on cliffs.
No one cares, so they take care of themselves, Xiangzhou City has been restored decently, and more and more merchants who were originally passing by to rest and sort out their goods are also staying here.
As soon as they entered the city gate, there was a rush of homeless people crouching in the corners.
"Do you want to unload? Don't need money, just take care of a meal. ”
"Do you want a storeroom? Big and spacious. ”
"Do you want the shopkeeper to rest? There are cheap and comfortable, hot hot soup tea for free. ”
They were noisy and shouting, but they did not stalk each other, nor did they block the carts and horses of the merchants, but only greeted them warmly on both sides.
At the beginning, there were indeed people who stalked and even started to rob, there was no government here, and the officers and soldiers did not care about them, the businessmen had no choice but to swallow their anger, anyway, they didn't have much money, and they left after a night's rest, but one day a new businessman refused to suffer and said that he would tell the officers and soldiers.
The leader of the displaced people who held the city gate mocked him and told him to sue him, saying that the officers and soldiers did not care.
Unexpectedly, the merchant directly found the camp of the officers and soldiers and said that he wanted to see the righteous son of Mrs. Chu.
The officers and soldiers only care about conquest, training, defending the city, and guarding, and the righteous sons of the wife of Chu and the governor of Wudu are in the barracks, which are the same as the officers and soldiers...... A little idle.
One of the youngest and most idle martial arts sons ran out when he heard that someone gave him meat to eat, and the merchant immediately threw himself on the ground and cried: "I heard that Mrs. Chu is a blessed land for gods, and I am determined to go to Huainan Road, but now I have not yet been bullied. ”
The words of the merchants were very exaggerated, although the filial son was young, but he was not frightened to think that he was really going to die, and asked the story from the words of the merchant in a few words, and he called a small soldier.
"Drive these scoundrels out of Xiangzhou in a rampant manner." He said simply, "That's the case with my stepmother, although we don't care about the homeless people here, but we don't leave any of the rebels, what if these rebels are bribed by the rebels, they will open the way for the rebels." ”
That's the rebels.
Officers and soldiers don't care about the people's livelihood when they come and go, but the rebel spies are to be killed.
The small soldiers immediately led the troops fiercely, and after a while of chickens and dogs jumping in Xiangzhou City, many people came forward to discuss, they must restrain themselves, otherwise the officers and soldiers will drive everyone away, and no one will survive.
The people of Xiangzhou City also know that the officers and soldiers of Wudu Governor don't care about them, but those sons will take care of it, of course, they don't take care of everything, and many people learn to ask to see the sons, and they can't see them nine times out of ten.
Those bullshit things can only be solved by themselves.,If you can't solve it, you can ask for a meeting.,In case it's not solved well.,Annoyed the sons.,Punish them all together.,Basically, this doesn't happen.。
"I heard that Mrs. Chu has special rules under the rule, so let's learn from them."
"It's a pity that none of us have ever been to Huainan Road."
"Go and inquire, those merchants have always been there, or heard of it."
As a result, there is no government in Xiangzhou, everyone is autonomous, and the rules are beneficial.
Some merchants stopped to ask about the homeless people who were soliciting customers, while one merchant left his cart and went straight into the city, all the way to the yamen.
The official office was occupied by soldiers and generals, and before they could get close, they were stopped by officers and soldiers with knives and guns.
"I'm looking for General Wang, I'm looking for General Wang, and I've made an appointment with General Wang." The fat merchant raised his hand and shouted.
......
......
Wang Li pulled his face out of the official office and pulled the fat merchant into the alley on the side.
"Didn't you say you'd be waiting?" He exasperated, "Why did you run to the door?" ”
The fat merchant was not afraid of his black face, and smiled: "This time I got a large number of little lambs, which are particularly fresh, and I am in a hurry to send them to adults, so adults don't have to run out all the time." ”
Wang Li glared: "You be quiet!" ”
Saying this, he poked out of the alley and saw that no one was paying attention to the officers and soldiers passing by.
"Put it in Lao Li's warehouse in the three alleys west of the city." Wang Li gave the merchant the address, and took out the money bag and pinched it inside.
The fat merchant followed his pinch, counted the amount in the money bag, and added: "Very fresh lamb, fresher than before." ”
That is to say, it is more expensive than the previous ones, Wang Li pulled his face and pinched it a few more times, and reluctantly handed over the entire money bag, and the fat merchant pulled it from his hand with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Li." He saluted and happily pulled the car away.
Wang Li walked back to the official office with his face pulled, and was immediately stopped by several men.
"Master Li, you are so fragrant."
"Lao Wang, when I see you, I want to eat meat."
"When the hell are you going to invite us to meat?"
Everyone was joking, and someone tried to strangle him with their arms.
Wang Li scolded and broke free and ran away, turned into the porch leading to the backyard, and saw a little boy jumping up.
Wang Li turned his head and left.
"Uncle Li." Wu Xiaofei ran up and hugged his arm, and shouted intimately, "Where have you been?" I haven't seen you in two days, but I miss you. ”
Wang Li snorted: "The meat has arrived, this time it is enough for you to eat for a winter." ”
Wu Xiao clapped his hands happily, and shook hands uneasily: "So much?" If left for too long, it may not taste good. ”
"Love to eat or not." Wang Li shouted with a glare.
Wu Xiao put his arm around him again: "Eat, eat, eat, I thought of food, we want to enjoy the most beautiful food....."
That's because you're too full! Wang Li shook off his stuffy head and walked in.
"Uncle Li is going to see Daddy?" Wu Xiao said in the back, "Daddy's letter from my stepmother, you wait and then go ....."
Wang Li heard it, and instead of waiting, he ran.
He ran to Wu Ya'er's door in one breath, and broke in without waiting for the soldiers outside the door to lift the curtain.
"Crow, Mrs. Chu sent a letter?" He asked.
Wu Ya'er sat in front of the desk wrapped in cotton clothes and put away a scroll: "Hmm." ”
Wang Li took a deep breath: "What was written?" ”
The man also walked up to the table and saw a letter on the table.
Wu Ya'er held down the scroll with one hand and the letter with the other, and said, "It's nothing." ”
What do you mean by nothing? Wang Li glared, the letter sent by ten people and a dozen horses was needed to relay the rebels through the layers of the rebels in the winter, nothing?
Wu Ya'er may also feel that this is inappropriate.
"That is, the seal letter has been received." He added, "She's safe over there, and my mother is fine." ”
Wang Li sighed, and his eyes poked on the scroll: "Did you send a portrait of your aunt?" This section of Huainan Road is in a mess, I'll see if my aunt has lost weight. ”
Wu Ya'er pressed the painting: "I am not thin, and my spirit is very good." What's the matter with you? What are you busy with these days? I heard them say, you open your own small stove and eat meat....."
The aunt is thin or not, Wang Li couldn't care about it, opened his clothes and exposed his chest and shouted: "Who has ever seen eating meat from a small stove and eating himself thin!" ”
Wu Ya'er glanced at his chest: "It's thin, what's the matter?" You don't go out to eat and drink with them, you hide at home. ”
Although Wu Xiao, the kid, is very hateful, he thinks of daring to run to the front of the battle with a knife, and dares to rush and kill with him......
This matter is a secret between the two of them, if it is said to Wu Ya'er, Wu Ya'er will definitely arrange the meat matter, then the kid may ..... No, that kid is shameless, and he will definitely continue to eat with peace of mind.
But he was discredited.
The promises he made, he solved by himself.
Wang Li covered his clothes: "It's nothing, I just don't want to spend money indiscriminately, save money, and when the war is over, marry a daughter-in-law." ”
Wu Ya'er smiled: "It's good to marry a daughter-in-law, but you don't have to wait for the battle to end." ”
Wang Li rolled his eyes: "I don't have a daughter-in-law who fell from the sky." ”
Wu Ya'er smiled and didn't argue with him.
Wang Li patted his head: "I forgot about business because you interrupted me." ”
Wu Ya'er held the hand of the scroll and the letter a little harder: "What is the matter?" ”
Wang Li's eyes turned around the room: "In addition to the letter, what else does Mrs. Chu give?" ”
Wu Ya'er shook her head: "No." ”
Wang Li was anxious: "After spending so much manpower and material resources, just send a letter?" She didn't send some baggage again? ”
Wu Ya'er laughed: "There are many places to spend money in Huainan Road, so many people have to be raised, and they have to spend the winter, besides, such a long distance of manpower and material resources is just a drop in the bucket." ”
"A glass of water is water." Wang Li muttered, and sneered, "Old nonsense, the baggage that the original imperial court wanted to give was also stopped, saying that Linzhou has been in an emergency recently, where is Linzhou's war preparedness, it is clear that there are new people who forget the old." ”
Yuanzhou recovered, Linzhou came to the matter of three festival envoys and crowned generals, Lao Hu had already written a letter and sent it, and the imperial court also specially sent a document of commendation to Wu Ya'er to see.....
Wu Ya'er said: "This newcomer has real skills. ”
The commendation notice for winning Weizhou wrote three heroes, but Wu Ya'er only said one.
Wang Li knew which one he was talking about, and Lao Hu said in the letter that the battle of Yuanzhou was the credit of Xiang Yun, and the other two were added to the head.
"That Longyou Jiedu envoy Xiang Yun is the head of Li Feng'an's eight generals." Wang Li was a little uneasy, "If you don't have real skills, you won't be reused by Li Feng'an." ”
He scratched his head in annoyance.
"He can't stay in Jiannan Road, guarding his little master, what is he doing in Linzhou."
Wu Ya'er pondered: "There is Han Xu in Jiannan Dao, who can be stable, so he is out of the mountain?" ”
Wang Li snorted: "It's been so long in troubled times, Jiannandao doesn't do anything, there are rich and people, safe and comfortable, and now they are tired of running for their lives while everyone is fighting to the death, they have gone to the emperor, it is really not greedy." ”
Who is greedy enough? Wu Ya'er smiled, and with a little arrogance.
"Xiang Dudu is very powerful, but." He said, "Without the foundation we laid before, without me in Xiangzhou to contain the rebels, he would not be able to take Yuanzhou, I think Xiang Dudu knows this very well in his heart." ”
Because the cowardice brought by Xiang Yun or Li Feng'an's name dissipated in an instant, Wang Li straightened his back again.
"That is, without us, they would not have won the battle today."
"And whether they can continue to win the battle in the future is also up to us."
"No, I'm going to write a letter to Lao Hu and ask him to ask Xiang Yun for baggage and return our baggage!"
Wang Li came in in a hurry, and went out in a hurry.
Wu Ya'er let go of her hand at this time, and the scrolls and letterheads were taken out and printed, and the letters from now on could not be shown to them.
Wu Ya'er glanced at the steady door curtain, opened the scroll again, and familiar and unfamiliar scenes appeared in front of her, familiar are the indoor furnishings, the piles of cloud-like dresses, and even the children squatting and playing by the window, the plum blossoms and daffodils on the table, and the strange ones are the people who hold the documents and look up at them......
For the first time, the woman raised her head, revealing a smooth forehead, big shining eyes, a tall nose, a face as white as snow, and lips as red as blood.....
Wu Ya'er couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth, the woman on the painting looked at him, he was a little embarrassed, and closed the painting.
It's really an immortal.
Immortals are nothing more than that.
Why did such an immortal fall into the world?
Wu Ya'er read the letter, the number of words was not as many as last time, and the content was not as scary as last time, and the first sentence at the beginning told him: ".... Because of unavoidable reasons, my appearance is inconvenient for the world to see, and my identity cannot be announced to the public...."
Wu Ya'er didn't finish reading it, got up and took the painting scroll and walked to the bed, pulled out the box, lifted a brick under the bed, and there was a dark grid under the brick, and he solemnly put the painting into it.
For unavoidable reasons, she still showed her appearance to him, and he had to cover it up for her.
After all this, he returned to the desk and read the letter, which was not very numerous.
She didn't write about the military affairs, she didn't write empty sweet words, and because she couldn't declare her identity, she didn't seem to know what to say, so she recalled the past and talked about her encounter with his mother.
Those past events in Dou County are no longer a secret now, but she wrote it herself, and he still read it word by word.
After reading the letter, you should reply to the letter.
Wu Ya'er looked at the unfolded letter paper on the table, looked at the frog sitting upright, and held the pen for a long time.
He didn't know what to write.
Don't talk about military affairs, don't talk about the world situation, and it's difficult to talk about the identity and origin.....
The pen is pinched and pinched in the hand, and people sit and stand at the table, and don't they write when there is something to write and read when they have nothing to do?
I don't know what to say, but I want to write a letter, it's really a contradiction.
After sitting up and sitting up a few times, Wu Ya'er didn't get up again, and the sweaty pen that was pinched in the winter fell on the paper.
"My mother's encounter with you is the greatest kindness that fate has ever given her....."
