Chapter 268: This official is late!
"Bang bang!"
Early in the morning, someone knocked on the door of Cui San's family, who lived on Zuoying Street.
Cui San is a battalion soldier, and when he attacked the Jinchuan thieves the year before last, he had a gun on one leg, and he had no rule of law to saw it.
So Cui San's life was really snatched back from Lord Yama.
It stands to reason that if you don't have a leg, it is a first-class injury, and the court should give Cui San 30 two first-class disability expenses, and give him another three years of rice and food money, in addition to the cost of decoction and medicine, that is, Cui San can receive about 75 taels at one time when he retires from the army due to disability.
This money is saved a little, and it is enough for a small family to last for a few years.
Be a little more active, use this money to do some small business, or buy some land, and you can support the family if life is more difficult, but Cui San gave him 25 taels of silver when he left the camp.
The money was reduced by two-thirds, and Cui San was definitely not convinced, so he put up a crutch and asked him where his disability silver went, but no one answered him.
I was tired of asking, so I was directly put out.
Again, a beating is indispensable.
It was still the sentinel Wan Lin who secretly told him that his money should have been deducted by Lord Cao above, and asked Cui San not to find anyone, it was useless to sue God, because Lord Cao was from the Internal Affairs Office, and the governor of Sichuan had to let him.
You made a lot of trouble, Lord Cao was unhappy, and no one knew about sending someone to kill you.
In the end, Wan Lin stuffed the seven or eight taels of silver collected by his brothers to Cui San, and asked him to set up a pot repair stall at the entrance of Zuoying Street, repairing iron pots and teapots for others to live a good life.
Cui San's daughter-in-law is a peasant girl in Wanxian County, and her family married her to Cui San in the early years, so that she could follow Cui San to eat imperial grain.
Who would have thought that her husband would end up in this situation.
The two have three sons and two daughters, and there is a blind old woman on it, a total of eight mouths, where can they survive just by Cui San's pot stall?
Therefore, Cui's third daughter-in-law was introduced to the girls in the city who spent a lot of money to wash their clothes, and they could get a few dollars a month or two.
The girls are also kind-hearted, knowing that Sister Cui's man has an accident, the family is poor, and there are many children, so you can give a few articles on weekdays, or I will give you an old coat and some snacks to help.
The Huamanlou is a green building, and although Cui's third daughter-in-law is doing hard work and receiving hard money, she will inevitably be looked down upon.
Some ill-hearted mothers-in-law nearby said behind their backs that they were selling in the building, and the rumors reached Cui San's ears, and the man was also angry, and he also wanted to save face, so he beat his daughter-in-law when he went home.
Then it was the two of them hugging and crying, if it weren't for the five mouths calling for their father, the two of them would be able to tie up and climb into the Jialing River.
The days passed like this, and Cui San was also used to the one-legged days.
When I heard someone knocking on the door outside, Cui San and his family hadn't gotten up yet, and the five children were also asleep, and the blind old lady who lived next door didn't like to sleep very much, and she slept for two hours a day.
Today is the twenty-ninth month of the month, Ming'er is the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how tense the family is, the New Year always has to get some fish for the children.
The fish was bought yesterday by a neighbor and a fisherman who was fishing in the river, and the two herring fish weighed seven or eight pounds together.
The old lady was reluctant to call for food, so she thought about cutting one to eat tomorrow night, and another one was salted and dried, and eaten slowly.
Hearing a knock at the door, the old lady fumbled to open it.
The son over there shouted, "Which one?" The stall is not out, if you are in a hurry, put it at the door, and come to get it in the afternoon. β
Cui San thought that he was here to mend the pot, but the voice of the sentinel Wan Lin came from outside the door: "Old Cui, it's me, open the door quickly!" β
"Ten thousand heads? Go and open the door. β
Cui San pushed his daughter-in-law, Lao Wan is a good person, and he takes a lot of care of him on weekdays.
I heard that in order to make Cui San's pot repair stall have a business, Lao Wan specially notified him from door to door, asking people to take care of Cui San as much as possible if their things were broken.
"It's Master Wan,"
Cui San's daughter-in-law hurriedly got out of bed and dressed and went to open the door.
As a result, the crowd outside the door was taken aback.
Who is Wan Lin alone, there are dozens of people, all wearing official uniforms. Among them, there are green camp officers she has seen, and there are also those she has never seen.
The young man standing next to Wan Lin was dressed even more terrifyingly, wearing a ruby top with two pheasant feathers, wearing a python robe with nine pythons and five claws, and a string of pearls around his neck, which looked like a big official.
But what surprised Cui San's daughter-in-law was not how big an official this young man was, but that this young man was carrying a half-scoop of fat pig on his shoulder.
"Is it Cui San's daughter-in-law?"
Jia Jia was not sure, and asked Wan Lin, the green camp sentry on the side.
"My lord, she is Cui San's mother-in-law,"
Wan Lin turned sideways and motioned to the Admiral to invite him, and shouted inside: "Cui San, get up quickly, the Admiral has come to see you!" β
Lord Admiral?
Cui San, who was still dressing on the bed, was startled, his daughter-in-law who was standing at the door in a daze was also startled, and the blind mother in the next room was also shocked.
"Sister-in-law, tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will come to see you on behalf of the imperial court."
Jia Liuhe smiled and carried the half-scoop fat pig on his shoulder into the house and unloaded it on the table.
This half scoop of fat pig is heavy, seventy or eighty pounds, and he is tired and out of breath.
Then he turned and ordered his attendants to bring everything in.
Two bags of 50 catties of rice, a bucket of rapeseed oil, a jar of salt, 10 catties of brown sugar, two 10 catties of large grass carp, and a mess of fruit snacks.
It was all urgently purchased by the green camp in Chongqing Town last night, and for this reason, it was tossed all night.
No way, who let this be an urgent military order from the Admiral.
"Wantou, what is this?"
Cui San, who came out of the back room, looked at the things that filled his family's Eight Immortals table, and then saw a young official looking at him with a smile on his face, and was stunned for a moment.
Wan Lin looked happy: "Cui San, this is our Admiral, I came here to see you!" β
"Ti, Lord Admiral?!"
Cui San was shocked, and subconsciously threw down the crutch to kowtow to the Admiral, but as soon as the crutch landed, the person had not squatted with difficulty, and the Admiral had already stepped forward to support him, and said affectionately: "Don't be polite, you are the warriors of the country, and this official is not subject to the courtesy of warriors!" β
After speaking, he turned his head and drank: "Bring it!" β
Immediately, an attachΓ© handed a bag of silver to the Admiral.
"Cui San, this is the silver that the court should be for you, with interest, this admiral has made a whole for you, one hundred taels, collect it, and live a good life in the future, come to me if you have any difficulties."
Jia Liu said this tightly holding Cui San's hand.
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Cui San's empty right trouser leg, his expression looked very sad, and he looked around the Cui family, which was surrounded by four walls, and his heart was even more uncomfortable, and he turned his head to look at the green battalion officers in Chongqing Town at the door, and was angry: "This is how you treat the soldiers who work hard for the imperial court? That's what you bastards do for the court! β
"My lord, we are waiting to be convicted!"
The officers of the Green Battalion "plopped" and knelt on the ground, buried their heads low, and no one dared to speak.
Because, last night, the deputy general Cao Guoke committed suicide in fear of crime.
"Cui San, this official is late, it's late!"
Jia Jia's forehead was extremely painful, and her red eyes were full of care for the soldiers of the Green Battalion.
The clothes of the first product were full of lard.
