Chapter Ninety-Eight: Festive
Medicine Knot Tongxin 98_Chapter 98 Joy from Bayi Chinese Network (.) When Song Sanniang and Zhou Liangyu received the news, they were very surprised.
"Someone said that the young master had a meritorious role in killing the thief and slave, and he was rewarded with silver taels and silk, so I want the lady and the young master to go back and receive the reward quickly." The officer from the yamen who came to look for them said with a smile.
The tenants standing around were wide-eyed, and the silver taels rewarded by the imperial court were not ordinary people who could be rewarded by the imperial court now.
This orphan and widow of the main family, dressed neatly but very ordinary, does not seem to be a rich family, but a weak family with a windfall.
It won't be long before this kind of family will sell the land again, and everyone has seen a lot of this kind of family, and they feel a little contemptuous in their hearts, but after hearing the news, the eyes of the tenants looking at Zhou Liangyu changed.
This skinny boy dared to kill a thief slave!
The news of the great destruction of the Tartars in Xie County in the previous paragraph has been spread to everyone, but the specific details have changed a lot in the process of circulation, so the specific situation is not clear to these tenants, and there is no need to be clear, just know that the Tartars were killed very badly, and it is already very enjoyable for these people who have been attacked by the Tartars.
He is not a soldier or an official, he is a thief and slave who dares and can kill, and he has been rewarded by the court! At such a young age, he will definitely have a great future in the future.
The owner's family has a future, and their tenants are naturally having a better life, and they all congratulate each other with envy, fear and flattery.
I don't call my brother by title, but respectfully call the young master.
"Madam and young master go back quickly, we will go home and talk about these fields in person." An old man said respectfully, "We are all old farmers who farm, and the young master can rest assured." The fields will not be wasted. β
Song Sanniang and Zhou Liangyu didn't dare to stay, and immediately went back with others.
There were already a lot of people gathered outside the house. Lively and laughing, seeing them coming, those who don't know each other say hello.
The door was wide open, and Liu Meibao stood in the courtyard, entertaining the people who came to repay the reward with two neighbors' women.
These are two Great Zhou sergeants, wearing uniform uniforms, although a little shabby, but better than those officers and soldiers commonly found here in Fucheng, with bows and arrows hanging from their waists. The body is strong and energetic.
The onlookers said that these two people were sergeants from the General Military Mansion.
saw Song Sanniang and Zhou Liangyu come in. The two are no longer polite.
"Zhou Liangyu, you and the four mothers of the Xie family in Xie County together captured a thief and slave head, seized a pair of draped pendants, a pair of bows and arrows, and the official was rewarded, with a reward of thirty taels of silver, and a table of silk."
Zhou Liangyu bowed down to accept the reward and thanked the emperor in his mouth.
"This is fifteen taels of silver. Prescribed beheading. Reward thirty taels, because you and the Xie clan have shared it, so the two of you will share the silver. He explained with a pleasant face.
The amount of silver is actually not important to them. Zhou Liangyu thanked him again.
The two of them said goodbye, Liu Meibao hurriedly handed over a few taels of silver, but the sergeant did not shirk it, and generously accepted it and left.
"Mother, look." Zhou Liangyu held the silver taels and silk in his hand to Song Sanniang, and there was excitement in his voice.
The two neighbor women were also curious to see the reward, which was a thing of the imperial court, a tribute for the emperor, but they didn't dare to reach out and touch it, they just looked at it with envy, and praised it again and again.
"This silver is true...."
β.. The first time I saw Guan Yin.."
β.. Look at this material, it's even better than what the prefect's wife is wearing."
"Have you seen the prefect's wife?"
Song Sanniang looked at the reward in front of her in a daze, as if she was stunned.
"Mother?" Zhou Liangyu called her again.
"Is this true?" Song Sanniang hesitated for a moment, and muttered in disbelief.
"Of course it's true, mother, you take it." Zhou Liangyu said with a smile, only to be overjoyed by her mother.
The next moment, Song Sanniang's eyes turned red, and she took the reward and rushed into the house.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard suppressed cries coming from inside the house.
"His father, his uncle, did you see that?" Song Sanniang's voice came out with a crying voice, "This is the reward of the imperial court... This is the court's reward for dogs to kill thieves and slaves....God, the court is finally willing to reward us....."
The crying became louder and louder, from suppressed to bitter crying, until the hissing burst the lungs.
The women outside all burst into tears when they heard this, and Zhou Liangyu also walked in and knelt down in front of the spiritual seat of his father and uncle.
Because of the thief and slave and was punished by the family, there must be scruples on the top, originally thought that there would never be this reward, and the reason why he killed the enemy at that time was also forced, both horizontal and vertical were death, so he fought, but he didn't expect to really get a reward, which is recognized by the court.
That time the whole family killed the enemy and sacrificed their lives to be punished, and this time the enemy was rewarded, what a stark and how sad the contrast is.
After Liu Meibao sent the two sergeants back, she stood by the door, quietly listening to the bitter crying in the house, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
Look, as long as you live, life will always get better.
This time Zhou Liangyu was rewarded, so maybe one day, Liu Meibao's father and uncle may be overturned and wronged.
When they heard the weeping in the house, the women in the courtyard were busy trying to persuade them.
"Sanniang, this is a happy event, a happy event, don't cry.." The women spoke one after another, helping her up.
"It's a happy event, it's a happy event, I'm happy.." After Song Sanniang vented her emotions, a smile appeared on her face, and she said with a choked voice while wiping her tears.
"That's it." Everyone laughed and said, fetching water, handing towels, and pouring tea.
The small courtyard was full of laughter and laughter.
Liu Meibao was called back from Guangshunhe, so everyone in Guangshunhe also knew the news for the first time, and soon Feng Yaojie also came to congratulate him with a few stewards, and sent away Feng Yaohe and others, and other guys came over one after another, and it was lively until dark.
To Liu Meibao's surprise, Mrs. Shi also came to the door, and she didn't say much, just said a few auspicious words to Song Sanniang and Zhou Liangyu, and then took her leave, walking unsteadily, trembling, and leaning against the wall to walk out.
"Send it to my aunt." Song Sanniang said hurriedly.
Liu Meibao answered, Shi Pozi humbly said no, and was helped out of the door by Liu Meibao.
As soon as she walked out of the alley, Shi Pozi straightened her waist.
"Girl, go back quickly, I can go by myself, old woman." She said, grinning.
Although there is a relationship between the two of them, there is basically no intersection between the two, and they hardly speak every day, facing her, Liu Meibao is always a little embarrassed, she smiled when she heard the words, nodded, and watched Shi Pozi tremble away, her eyes turned, and suddenly saw Lu Yan standing there on the opposite street.
He was still dressed in a short face, dressed as a countryman, standing in the crowd, although he was burly, he was not particularly eye-catching, and no one knew that this gentle-looking young man was actually the famous King Lu Yan.
Seeing Liu Meibao looking over, he smiled slightly.
Since the city gate was rescued, Liu Meibao finally wrote back to him.
The letter didn't say anything, but replied to his letter, and used a daily tone like Lu Yan to express gratitude for his rescue at the city gate, and at the same time expressed concern about his injury.
This simple letter of less than half a piece of paper was sent back, and the next day it was exchanged for a long letter full of enthusiasm.
Compared with the previous subtle and simple, this time there are more words that are out of the ordinary, so that the strict and polite girls will blush and heartbeat, of course, it is still within the tolerance of Shen Liumei, a traverser.
But in view of the complexity of the ancient living environment and the uncertainty of the future development of Liu Meibao, I had to reply to him again to remind him not to think too much at once, his reply does not mean anything, but the nature of human beings, and I am grateful for his sincerity.
"I know, I know, I know..."
I don't know if it scared him, but he quickly sent another letter, apologizing for his verbal gaffe, and wrote a full line I know.
ββ¦ It's me who is not good, I scared you, and I will not write those words to you in the future, but only say them to myself in my heart...."
Liu Meibao couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
He can apologize for expressing his feelings passionately, but he will never deny his burning feelings.
I don't write it to you, just say it to myself, don't look at this kid's poor writing without culture, the level of writing love letters is getting better and better.
β.. I don't want you to answer me anything, if you can occasionally let me know what you've done, if you're not happy, I'll be content. β
After thinking about it again and again, Liu Meibao still wrote back to him, and simply picked up his daily affairs and wrote.
In this way, within a month of coming and going, although they did not meet again, in the correspondence, she knew how Lu Yan was injured, what he ate for three meals a day, and what words he had newly learned, and Lu Yan also knew that Song Sanniang bought the field, and Liu Meibao ate her favorite roast pig's head, and she also thought it was delicious.
It's an acquaintance on paper, but when I see it, I still feel a little strange, and I'm more embarrassed.
Liu Meibao's heart was pounding, she hurriedly lowered her head, and turned around to leave.
Lu Yan had already walked over quickly.
"I'm fine, I'm just here to see you...", he quickly walked up to her, passed her like a passerby, and said in a voice she could hear, "I'll show you, I'm okay....."
When Liu Meibao heard this, she raised her eyes to look at him.
He leaned sideways, making the appearance of a passerby, not squinting, as if it was not himself who spoke.
I know how to pretend...
Liu Meibao couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
Lu Yan, who had never left the corner of his eye, immediately noticed it, and couldn't help but turn his face again, looking at the girl in front of him pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes flashed, and a fire in his heart ignited.
"You still have to take care, and you should pay more attention to your daily life if you have been injured." Liu Meibao's face was flushed by his ** sight, lowered her head, and said in a low voice after hesitation.
Without waiting for him to speak again, he hurriedly walked towards home, feeling that the sight of the ** behind him had been following, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the door when he entered the door.
Lu Yan still stood in place and looked at her, and when he saw her turn around again, the smile on his face became even stronger.
He smiled a little dumbfounded, Liu Meibao couldn't help but smile again, glanced at him, and then bowed his head and entered the door. (To be continued)
