…

Zhao Han'er jumped down from the mule cart, moved three stones of grain and seven catties of beef off the mule cart, and then held back for a while before saying to the driver: "Thank you, sixth brother." ”

After speaking, Zhao Han'er rubbed her hands a little crampedly, not knowing what to say.

Ma Liu, who was driving the car, really couldn't figure it out, just such a person who couldn't beat a fart with three sticks turned out to be the person who got the fourth most reward after Niu Meng, Zhang Shi, and Fang Wuji, and even Niu Wei, Zhang Datie and other heroes who had been fighting hard in front of him did not get more rewards than him.

What makes Ma Liu even more puzzled is that the reason why Zhao Han'er has won so many rewards is not because of how prominent his contribution is, but because he unreservedly executes the orders given by Li Cun, in Li Cun's words: "Zhao Han'er has the best obedience and should be rewarded." ”

In this way, Zhao Han'er was rewarded with two stones of grain, five catties of beef and ten taels of silver, and Li Cun also asked Ma Liu to drive a mule cart to see Zhao Han'er off.

Ma Liu thought to himself: "I knew this was the case, and when Li Cun ordered me to wait, I was also quicker." ”

There is no regret in the world about taking medicine, and Ma Liu worked overtime to send Zhao Han'er and others, and he also counted the working hours, according to the military salary calculation method announced by Fang Wuji, he could also get additional military salary.

This can also be comforted.

Ma Liu said with a smile: "You and I are close neighbors in the same village, and you are polite to me." Then he said: "I think the lord values you, if you are prosperous in the future, don't forget the sixth brother." ”

Zhao Han'er replied solemnly: "As long as I don't violate the lord's order, I will help the sixth brother as appropriate." ”

Ma Liu shook his head in his heart: "I can't say anything about the scene, I really don't know what Li Cun likes about him?" ”

After Ma Liu left, Zhao Han'er moved the beef and grain into his yard.

The occupants of the room heard the sound and immediately opened the door to look.

Seeing that the person who made the noise was Zhao Han'er, a lame woman immediately led the five boys out of the door and into the courtyard.

The lame woman, that is, Zhao Han'er's wife Xie Shi, wanted to ask Zhao Han'er what happened to Fang Youchang's family today, and did Fang La really turn around?

didn't wait for Xie to ask, and saw Zhao Han'er carrying a large piece of beef in his hand, that is, Zhao Han'er's eldest son Zhao Kang, so he asked with a look of surprise: "Dad, what kind of meat are you holding in your hand?" ”

Zhao Han'er smiled proudly and replied loudly: "The best beef!" ”

Hearing this, Xie Shi asked with some concern: "Where did you get the good beef?" ”

Zhao Han'er smiled innocently: "Not only beef, but I also brought back three stones of grain and twelve taels of snowflake silver, and my family has no worries this year." ”

Xie stared at Zhao Han'er and didn't speak—she was waiting for Zhao Han'er to answer her question.

Zhao Han'er, who has always been afraid of inwardness, saw this, and hurriedly replied truthfully: "This is my military salary, I participated in the uprising caused by Fang Shisan, and now I am Li Xianggong's soldier." ”

Hearing Zhao Han'er say this, Xie's heart was tight!

But looking at the five sons around him who hadn't eaten for a long time, and then thinking about the father-in-law and mother-in-law who were already so hungry in the house that they couldn't walk, Xie also understood why Zhao Han'er took this step.

Sighing in his heart, Xie took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Can you get so many good things by participating in the rebel army?" ”

Zhao Han'er shook her head even more proudly: "No, but my lord praised me for being the most obedient and calculating my great merit, so he rewarded me with five catties of good beef, two stones of grain and ten taels of snowflake silver." ”

As she spoke, Zhao Han'er took out the twelve taels of silver from her arms and handed them to Xie.

After receiving the twelve taels of silver from Zhao Han'er's thick hand, Xie's hands couldn't help but tremble a little!

Xie was a maid of a large family, and she read with Miss for a few years, and then her main house was dilapidated because of flowers and stones, she broke her leg when she fled, climbed to the door of Zhao Haner's house, and was rescued by Zhao Haner, and later married Zhao Han'er and gave birth to five sons to Zhao Han'er.

Therefore, unlike the honest Zhao Han'er, the Xie family has seen silver, and has seen more silver than twelve taels.

But that was a long, long time ago.

Since leaving the original master's house, not to mention silver, it is a steady copper coin, and the Xie family has rarely seen it again.

Rubbing the weight of silver, in addition to being excited, the well-informed Xie family also understood that the reason why Li Cun rewarded her man was just to set her man as an example, not because of how good her man was.

But Xie did not discourage Zhao Han'er's enthusiasm.

——It was the first time she saw Zhao Han'er, who was numbed by the mountains of life, exuding a strong sense of pride, and she couldn't destroy Zhao Han'er's self-confidence.

"Take the meat to the kitchen, I'll cut it in two taels and give you the stew." Xie said to his five sons.

"Ah~just two or two~" The five children wailed at the same time.

"Two taels is still less, a group of losers, such a good beef, of course I have to dry it and eat it slowly in the future." Xie scolded with a smile.

Who would have thought, Zhao Han'er, who rarely intervenes in this kind of thing, shook his head this time and said, "No, you have to eat it all in one meal." ”

"Why?" Xie was puzzled.

"My father-in-law said that all the beef distributed today must be eaten, otherwise there will be no more meat." Zhao Han'er replied truthfully.

While speaking, Zhao Han'er took out a package of seasonings from her arms: "This is the seasoning that my father-in-law asked Uncle Nine to distribute to us, saying yes, stewed with beef, it is very fragrant." ”

When Xie Shi heard this, his expression moved.

When he opened the seasoning package and saw that it was filled with spices such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc., Xie Shi was even more convinced of his guess.

"I'm afraid this Li Xianggong is not a mortal."

Xie Shi, who probably guessed Li Cun's thoughts, said magnificently: "Okay, then I'll move the pot stove to the courtyard and stew a pot of good beef for my mother and you." ”

When a few children heard this, they cheered and went to move the pot and stove.

Zhao Han'er's old parents heard the voice, and they also staggered out of the back room and followed to help.

Xie is worthy of coming from a big family, and the beef was stewed by her so fragrant that all the neighbors were attracted by this tempting fragrance.

Seeing a big pot of meat stewed in Zhao Han'er's house, the neighbors drooled and wondered: "Where did Zhao Han'er's family, who is so poor that they can eat quickly, get such a big pot of meat?" Could it be that they stewed a kid in the family? ”

After the fence outside the courtyard was full of people, someone finally couldn't help but ask: "Zhao family lady, where did you get this meat?" ”

Hearing this, Xie quickly took out a large piece of beef and cut it into a bunch of small pieces for Zhao Han'er's parents and five sons to eat, and said loudly: "My family officials have joined the righteous army, these seven catties of good beef, as well as three stones of grain, twelve taels of snowflake silver, are all issued by Li Xianggong, the lord of my family's officials." ”

Without waiting for others to ask again, Xie took the initiative to say again: "Li Xianggong said that my Xianggong and their bodies are weak, and asked them to eat more meat to strengthen their physique, and also ordered them to eat more than a dozen strong buffaloes and dozens of pigs and sheep within ten days, and also said that they would ...... in the future Yes, normalization means eating meat every day. ”

"Eat more than a dozen strong buffaloes and dozens of pigs and sheep in ten days? This is also too extravagant, and the Fang You Chang family does not dare to squander it! "The neighbors all looked incredulous and yearning!

Xie Shi also said: "Li Xianggong also allowed my Xianggong and them to take their families to the barracks to do work, take care of their fill, and pay their wages, and tomorrow our family will all go to the barn to eat military rations, and we will never have to live this kind of hard life without enough food in the future." ”

"Can you also take your family to eat a full meal?" The neighbors are even more incredulous and yearning!

Xie Shi continued: "I tell you, that Li Xianggong, who is both civil and military, keeps his promises, and has clear rewards and punishments, is a clear master, and will become a great weapon in the future, follow early, and will definitely fly in the future, glorify the ancestors, and seal his wife and son." ”

"And that Li Xianggong is thirsty for talent, as the saying goes, only talent moves, and I have to use it."

"Sister-in-law of the Sun family, your eldest brother didn't work as a buddy in the county's grocery store, and he will definitely be reused if he goes."

"There is also Third Brother Li, you can catch a car, and you are also a talent that Li Xianggong needs, Ma Liu in the west of the village, Third Brother Li knows, he is on an errand with Li Xianggong now, Li Xianggong asked him to take care of a mule cart, so it is not prestigious."

“……”

Xie Shi can speak well, and all the neighbors make her excited.

The key is that Zhao Han'er's family is eating fragrant beef on the side, eating all the mouths full of oil and sweating, and they call it really delicious, which is more convincing than anything else.

What's more critical is that everyone is thinking: "As far as Zhao Han'er can earn seven catties of good beef, three stones of grain, and twelve taels of snowflake silver from Li Xianggong, if I go to Li Xianggong, won't I earn more?" ”

Of course, some people whispered: "That Li Xianggong is a thief who followed Fang Thirteen's rebellion, and if you mess with him, you will most likely end up in a different place." ”

Every now and then, without Xie Shi saying anything, a relative of his will definitely jump out of that person's side, scolding him: "You are honest, but your whole family is going to starve to death, and there is one death on the left and right, I would rather eat meat every day and live happily for a while before dying, it is much better than being starved to death after eating the last meal and not the next meal now." ”

Hearing this, Xie Shi persuaded: "How can it be so serious, haven't you heard that if you want to become an official, kill people and set fires to be recruited......

At the same time, a similar scene was played out in dozens of other places......
