The hall sat high, and Li Qin ordered people to set up a banquet.

The fishermen and their families were grateful, and when the food was served, the fishermen were shocked to find that there was only food and water at the feast, and no wine.

Li Qinzai picked up a glass of water, looked at the families of the deceased, and said in a deep voice: "Your husband or son died because of me, and now he is still in the period of filial piety. ”

The family members stood up and saluted with tears in their eyes.

Li Qinzai took a sip of water and sighed secretly.

Those who died in battle because of him, their responsibilities in life should be borne by themselves.

The atmosphere of the banquet was a little dull, and an hour later, the banquet ended, and Li Qinzai and his wife sent everyone out of the hall again.

Immediately, Li Qinzai discussed with Cui Jie that the livelihood of several fishermen and the families of the deceased would be borne by the Li family from now on, and that they would buy land and build houses outside Dengzhou City, and if they could not do without the livelihood of fishing, they could also build new boats and so on.

Cui Jie understood and immediately went to do it herself.

The next day, Li Qinzai got up very early, Cui Jie pushed the wheelchair, and the couple took their disciples and tribes out of the door.

Today's destination is a remote village outside the city of Dengzhou.

It is the hometown of Zheng Saburo.

After half a day of driving, I came to a very poor Zhuangzi, where the houses were short, the people in them were scarce, and the middle-aged laborers were even rarer.

asked all the way to Zheng Sanlang's house, Zheng Sanlang's parents were there, and there was a brother.

Zheng Sanlang had great strength before his death, but he also had a large amount of food, and a few acres of thin fields in his family really couldn't support him, so he went to Dengzhou City to find a job by himself, and also created the acquaintance of Li Qinzai and Zheng Sanlang.

Carried out of the carriage by the tribe, in front of the dilapidated and simple house, Zheng Saburo's parents and brother looked at him nervously.

Li Qinzai tearfully told them that Zheng Sanlang had been martyred, and his body was buried outside the Goguryeo Black Bone City, and he only brought back a few clothes from his lifetime.

After the parents and brother were shocked, they fell to their knees and cried.

Li Qinzai sat in a wheelchair and sighed gloomily.

On an unknown green hill outside Zhuangzi, a mound of clothes was built, and the name of Zheng Sanlang was engraved on the stone tablet, and not only his parents and brothers were inscribed, but also a line of small characters.

"The person who inherits the grace and survives, Tang, the prince of Weinan County, Li Qinzai respects it."

The white flags stood at the head of the grave, the subordinates stood in various directions, shaking the spirit flags in their hands, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie knelt in the center, and behind him was the blood-stained handsome flag that Zheng Sanlang refused to let go.

Handsome flag hunting, swaggering in the wind.

The tribals waved their flags and shouted.

"The Heroic Spirit is not far away, and the soul is back!"

Li Qinzai closed his eyes, and he seemed to see Zheng Sanlang's honest face again in his mind.

Zheng Sanlang said, Li Shuai, do you take care of the food?

Zheng Sanlang said, Li Shuai, Feng Tou'er said, Shuai Qi can't fall.

Zheng Sanlang also said, Li Shuai, I'm so cold......

Unconsciously, Li Qinzai's tears snaked down, but he muttered with a smile in his mouth: "This fool ......"

…………

Bidding farewell to Zheng Sanlang's parents and brothers, Li Qinzai and Cui Jie also left his family with plenty of money.

From the moment he returned to Datang, Li Qinzai suddenly felt that he had a lot of debts to repay.

The robes who died in battle, their afterlife, and the responsibilities they couldn't bear, Li Qinzai had the obligation to help them take over and let their families continue to live.

The court's bereavement is another matter, and Li Qinzai just wants to express his heart.

On the carriage back to Dengzhou City, Li Qinzai asked, "How much money has our family saved?" ”

Cui Jie silently calculated and said: "The account concubines of the Guogong Mansion don't interfere, just talking about the accounts of the Ganjingzhuang Courtyard, about 40,000 yuan have been accumulated in the past few years, all of which are the trading of Zhuyan ointment, and our family and the Guogong Mansion share their own profits, and the ice cube trading with the Xu family is also." ”

Li Qinzai nodded in contemplation.

Cui Jie said again: "By the way, when the husband went on the expedition, the Xue family came and sent several batches of money, the amount is not small, there have been four times before and after half a year, each time it is at least tens of thousands of yuan, and the Xue family said that the husband and Xue Ne did business and share accounts in the Japanese country. ”

"The husband is fighting outside, and the concubine's communication is inconvenient, I don't know what it is, the concubine sent by the Xue family accepted it, but she didn't dare to move, so she ordered the tribe to be sent to the treasury of the Ganjingzhuang Courtyard to be sealed."

Li Qinzai smiled with satisfaction, this mother-in-law is really good at running a family and is very shrewd.

"Jie'er, after returning to Chang'an, the family needs to spend a sum of money, and this money is not small."

Cui Jie seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and said with a smile: "Does the husband want to subsidize the families of the soldiers who died in battle?" ”

Li Qinzai nodded: "Don't say anything else, I can't subsidize them one by one when I killed so many robes on the battlefield of Goguryeo, that's a matter for the imperial court, and I will be taboo if I do it." ”

"But in the battle outside the Black Bone City, almost all the 5,000 soldiers were wiped out, and only more than 100 people were left alive, it was the most tragic battle in the Eastern Crusade, and it was also a battle in which I personally participated, and nearly 5,000 robes were killed in the battle, and I have the responsibility to take care of their families."

Cui Jie held his hand and said softly: "This is the righteousness of a person, the concubine will not object, and the concubine is even more fortunate to marry a man like her husband." ”

"The husband can instruct the subordinates to coordinate the names and hometowns of the robes who died in the battle, and after returning to Chang'an, the concubines will allocate all the money in the treasury of Ganjingzhuang, and then distribute them equally to the families of the robes who died in the war, so that the relatives of the heroic spirits can no longer suffer."

Li Qinzai said with a smile: "Madame understands righteousness, and it is my blessing to marry you." ”

Cui Jie glanced at him with disgust, and said faintly: "The husband's blessings are really a lot, the concubine heard the cormorant Zanliang say, the husband met a goddess doctor in Goguryeo?" also asked her to return to Chang'an with her grandfather after the war, and was hired by our Li family as an offering? ”

Li Qinzai smiled: "I did know a goddess doctor, but there are no vulgar men and women, she saved my grandfather's life, and also saved my life, when she comes to Chang'an, Mrs. should be polite." ”

"The lives of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Li family were saved by her, Mrs. must not be rude, let alone eat any flying vinegar, I am not an animal, I can't see a woman and want to bring disaster to her."

Cui Jieqiao's face flushed, and then she sighed: "That goddess doctor saved grandpa and husband, of course the concubine should be treated with great courtesy, grandpa and husband are really destined to die, if it weren't for this goddess doctor, I am afraid that it will be ...... in the Guogong Mansion now."

Cui Jie couldn't bear to continue, but Li Qinzai smiled: "I'm afraid that I'm going to raise a white banner and build a mourning hall, count the days, the first seven days of my grandfather and I have passed, and you can only go to the graves of our ancestors and grandchildren to bow down next year...... Of course, I can't stop it. ”

Cui Jie was so angry that she pinched him hard, and said angrily: "Okay, don't say these bad words, what is life and death, in the future, our family will live in peace, grandpa can live to be 100 years old, and husband must live to at least 90." ”

"I'm working hard to keep breathing until ......I'm 90," Li Qinzai said with a smile.

Looking at the backward scenery outside the car, the sky is already cool, and everything is gradually depressed.

Li Qinzai muttered: "It's time to go back to Chang'an." ”

Cui Jie held his hand and said softly, "It's time to go home." ”
