Chapter 663: My Son!!
"Huh?"
Under the gate of Bo Mushroom City, just when the whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, trembling because of fear, just when all the relatives of the Qi Kingdom around were all puzzled, and just when all the other door officials were looking at Blister with sympathy.
In one hand, he held a small fine money bag and placed it in front of the blister who was kneeling on the ground.
Blister, who was kneeling on the ground, was dumbfounded, and the other doormen who were originally sympathetic to Blister also looked at this scene dumbfounded, but in everyone's puzzled eyes, Bai Yan took two steps back and slowly raised his hand to salute under the bewildered eyes of Blister.
"In the past, Bai Yan returned the favor!"
Bai Yan saluted.
The blister in front of him is the person who asked someone to bring a message back to Shui Village to inform his parents and brother, whether it is Tian Feiyan or his cousin, they have already figured out that when the brother was thrown into the wild, after returning to Bo Mushroom, many doormen saw that they could not find anyone, and they were afraid that Chen Shi would find out, so they regretted it and no longer looked for someone to bring a message to their brother.
It was this doorman named Blister, who couldn't bear it, and found the person to trust his brother alone.
Bai Yan didn't blame his brother for being bullied in the past, this blister didn't stand up to defend his brother, and he could find someone to bring a message back to Linzi for his brother, this kindness was enough for Bai Yan to remember.
"Kindness?"
"Kindness??"
Hearing the kindness in Bai Yan's mouth, not to mention Tian Dan and other Tian clan relatives, they all looked at each other with puzzled faces, not understanding how a doorman could have kindness to Bai Yan, even Blister himself was dumbfounded.
"Wu Liejun, but you recognize the wrong person? Humble ......"
Wei swallowed his saliva, and looked at Bai Yan with a panicked expression, for fear that Bai Yan would recognize the wrong person, after all, he was just a doorman, and he had never seen Bai Yan, so how could he say that he was kind.
However, after Bai Yan saluted at this time, he had already turned around and left, and did not answer Blister's question again.
Next to the carriage.
Under Tian Dan's somewhat puzzled eyes, Bai Yan was in the courtesy room, and was about to return to the carriage and enter Bo Mushroom City.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly saw that a general of the Qi State rode a war horse and came to the outside of the city with several cronies, and then turned over and dismounted and came to Tian Heng.
"Hengjun! Outside the south city gate, thousands of cavalry soldiers arrived at the city, and the general led by it was Tian Wei! ”
The general of the Qi State raised his hand to report to Tian Hengyu, and in the end, his eyes couldn't help but look at Bai Yan.
Hear the words.
Whether it was Tian Heng, Tian Rong, or Tian Dan, they were all a little surprised, they didn't expect Tian Wei to lead the troops here at this time, but everyone was not stupid, where did they not know the reason why Tian Wei came.
Thinking of this, almost everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Bai Yan.
"Please!"
Tian Dan raised his hand and motioned for Bai Yan to enter the city.
Although he is domineering, Tian Dan has no intention of blaming Tian Wei for the arrival of this junior, and Tian Dan also knows that Tian Wei is worried that they will hurt Bai Yan, or that they will borrow the hands of the Wei Chushi clan to get rid of Bai Yan, so he led the troops here.
In this regard, in addition to frowning slightly, Tian Dan didn't bother to care about Tian Wei, a junior.
"Please!"
Bai Yan returned the salute to Tian Dan, then turned around and returned to the carriage, looking at Wei Lao, who was still angry and didn't seem to want to speak, Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu and Xu Shi's two daughters, and could only honestly kneel in the carriage, feeling the carriage moving slowly.
"Ah!!h
Under the mushroom city, there was a sudden exclamation, attracting the attention of countless people.
Tian Dan, Tian Rong, Chen Shi and others, as well as all the clan men who had not yet gotten into the carriage, and all the servants and doormen around all followed the voice.
When everyone saw that Blister's hands were trembling, kneeling on the ground, and his pupils were full of horror looking at the money bag that had fallen on the ground, everyone couldn't help but look at the money bag as well, and immediately, the strings of coins in the cloth bag, as well as the faintly exposed gold, made everyone startled.
"Hiss~! Gold!!! ”
"Gold! Gold!!! ”
Under the city tower, exclamations were heard everywhere.
Even Tian Rong and Tian Heng couldn't help but glance at each other, and when they looked at their cousin Tian Dan, they found that Tian Dan also had a solemn face, and then gave them a look.
Seeing this, Tian Heng didn't understand what his cousin meant, at this time, Tian Heng also had a guess in his heart, according to Blister's identity and status, it was unlikely to have anything to do with Bai Yan, unless it was before Bai Yan left the Qi Kingdom, in the case of not being sure whether Blister had forgotten, he needed to ask in detail to know, and in addition, there was another possibility......
That is Bai Yan's family, or a friend, or a person who has a relationship with Bai Yan!
They had once suffered the kindness of Blister, so after Bai Yan learned about it, he would return the favor in person, and only then did Bai Yan retreat and salute seriously, if this is the case, then the relationship between this person and Bai Yan is extraordinary.
Thinking of this, I thought of Bai Yan's mysterious life experience, and the matter of persuading Bai Yan to return to Qi.
"Order someone to take care of this person, if there is a vacant position, he will be promoted, and he will be entertained, and I will see him in person tonight!"
Tian Heng whispered to Chen Shi beside him.
"No! Hengjun rest assured! Chen Shi will definitely arrange it! ”
When Chen Shi heard Tian Heng's words, he raised his hand and replied, in fact, there was no need for Tian Heng to remind him, seeing Bai Yan treating Blister like this, Chen Shi, who was worried that he had no chance to get close to Bai Yan, already had the idea of being promoted.
After the ceremony, Chen Shi watched Tian Heng walk towards the carriage, and couldn't help but feel that he had really gained a lot on this day.
"Xie Wuliejun! Thank you, Wu Liejun!! ”
Blister knelt on the ground with a sluggish face, and after reacting, he heard the exclamations around him, and hurriedly picked up the small cloth wrap on the ground with both hands, looked at the carriage passing by, and kept kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to the carriage that Bai Yan was riding.
How much grain does a person eat per day? How much grain does a family eat? And when the grain millet of Qi State was normal, one stone of grain millet was only more than 20 yuan.
He couldn't imagine how happy his wife and children would be if he went home with this bag of money.
Inside the city of thin mushrooms.
Escorted by more than twenty men from the Qin State, a carriage drove slowly down the street.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Qiu listened to the faint sound of gratitude behind him, his beautiful eyes looked at Bai Yan, and when he saw that Wei Lao still had a calm face and was unwilling to take care of Bai Yan's appearance, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Aren't you afraid that through that person, you will find out about your brother and learn your origin?"
Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.
Xu Shi hugged Zhan Lu, knelt beside Bai Yan, felt the slight shaking of the carriage, looked at Zhao Qiu, and then also looked at Bai Yan beside him.
"When Linzi is born, it is difficult to hide, and it no longer matters whether they know it or not."
Bai Yan said softly.
Thinking of what happened to his brother, Bai Yan couldn't wait to immediately draw his sword and break that Chen Shi into pieces, but after all, it was in the territory of the Qi clan, and Bai Yan would make everything that went to Linzi in the future fall into passivity.
Chen Shi Bai Yan must be killed, but definitely not right now, Bai Yan will definitely not let Chen Shi die so happily, but the premise is to persuade Qi Wang Jian to surrender to Qin, get rid of Tian Jiao, and those who did it at the beginning.
"Humph!"
Wei Lao suddenly snorted coldly.
Bai Yan turned his head when he heard the sound, looked at the teacher who was still angry, with a helpless expression, in the study in the past, Wei Lao came over angrily to reprimand him, and even finally did not hesitate to let Zhao Qiu know about the death of Qin Guo II.
This also made Zhao Qiu almost laugh out loud during this time, which was called a joyful and charming cheek.
Ying Zheng's current body has at least more than ten years, and in the past ten years, Bai Yan just wants to be an honest county lieutenant and defend a territory, but Wei Lao does not intend to do so, but forces him to constantly enrich and develop his power.
Bai Yan knew Wei Lao's kindness, but Bai Yan had seen too much history and too many people in later generations, and once he made a decision, there was no possibility of turning back until he died.
"Teacher, when the disciples saw Tian Dan, Tian Rong, and Tian Heng, they felt that these three people were by no means general, especially that Tian Heng, who was quite ...... by Tian Dan and Tian Rongqi."
Bai Yan didn't want to argue with Wei Lao and get angry, but he didn't want to be convinced, so he took the opportunity to tell Fang Cai's matter.
As a disciple, Bai Yan knew that Wei Lao was in business, especially those involving him, and Wei Lao would never sit idly by, let alone sit back and watch him fall into the calculations of others, so he mentioned Tian Dan and the others.
In fact, it was not unexpected by Bai Yan.
Although Wei Lao's expression was still dull, under the white hair, his old face was stiff, which made people worried, but for Bai Yan's question, he still showed a thoughtful look, which was fleeting.
"Humph! These three people are the clan of Qi State, don't look at the clan relatives of Qi State, they are headed by Tian Ding, that is, when the world talks about the clan relatives of Qi State, they also hear the name of Tian Ding, but they ...... in Qi State"
When Wei Lao said this, he turned his head and glanced at Bai Yan angrily.
"They want to get rid of a scholar, it is more convenient and unscrupulous than Tian Dingdu!"
Wei Lao said with a serious face, and then continued to look ahead, telling Bai Yan that when he was in the Qi Kingdom, Tian Ding, as the head of the clan, was still afraid, and Tian Dan, these clansmen, are completely different, not only have rights, but also have connections and prestige among the Qi clans, even if something happens, the clan will eventually come forward, and even Tian Ding will help him to intercede with the King of Qi.
Inside the carriage.
Zhao Qiu had a smile in his eyes, but when he saw that Wei Lao, who had been angry with Bai Yan all the way, was said by Bai Yan, he took the bait directly, his beautiful eyes were helpless, and he shook his head slightly.
Looking at the gray-haired Wei Lao, Zhao Qiu was a little emotional, Bai Yan said Tian Dan, Tian Rong, and Tian Heng so accurately, obviously he noticed something, and he must have been prepared in his heart.
Seeing that Wei Lao was angry, he told Bai Yan in detail that things related to Tian Dan were like elders to juniors.
Looking at Wei Lao's appearance, Zhao Qiu couldn't help but laugh helplessly in his heart.
I'm afraid that in the world, only Bai Yan can make Wei Lao like this.
In Bo Mushroom City, in front of a huge mansion, the carriage slowly stopped, and after Bai Yan got off the carriage, he saw Tian Wei who was already waiting in front of the door.
The servants brought by Bai Yan, as well as the carriage, all left with the servants of the mansion and headed to the arranged residence.
With Wei Lao and others there, Bai Yan was not worried, so after seeing Tian Wei, he stepped forward and raised his hand to Tian Wei to salute.
"Yan, meet Brother Sui!"
Bai Yan saluted Tian Wei, from his friend Tian Jun at the beginning, to General Tian in the back, and now he has become his brother-in-law, Bai Yan saw Tian Wei again, Rao is thick-skinned and a little red.
"Have you seen your father?"
Tian Wei returned the salute to Bai Yan, and when he saw Tian Dan and the others' carriage stop, and one of them walked out of the carriage, he knew that now was not the time to talk, so he made a long story short and asked Bai Yan if he could see his father.
When he just saw Bai Yan nodded, Tian Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it was good to see his father, now it is only two days away from Linzi if it is fast, and only three days if it is slow, Bai Yan will soon be able to arrive in Linzi and see the King of Qi.
"Tian Wei, meet Uncle Clan!"
After Tian Wei saw Tian Dan and the others get out of the carriage, he turned around and stood in place to salute Tian Dan who came over.
"Hmph, I'm worried that Uncle Clan won't be able to protect Bai Yan thoroughly!"
Tian Dan looked at Tian Wei who was saluting, and said with some dissatisfaction, the implication was that Bai Yan had just arrived at Bo Mushroom, and Tian Wei led thousands of Qi to ride forward, which was obviously worried about Bai Yan and came over to support Bai Yan.
"Tian Wei doesn't dare!"
Tian Wei said softly, seeing that Tian Dan didn't say anything else, he glanced at Tian Dan, looked at the other clan uncles, and saluted in turn.
"Wu Liejun, please!"
Tian Dan invited Bai Yan into the house.
Seeing this, Bai Yan did not refuse, he was not worried, but now he was even more relieved to see Tian Wei coming.
…………………………
Linzi, water village.
On the occasion of spring ploughing, although there is a drizzle, but Yan's father still takes the old cow of the family, busy in the field, at a glance, compared to other fields, people need to constantly bend over to cultivate, Yan's father has an old cow, not only labor-saving, but also countless times faster than people, which makes the villagers envious.
The water village between the mountains and forests is different from the outside of the mountains, as the ancestors fled to the mountains and settled down in the mountains to take root in the water villages, the fields between the mountains and forests are naturally not as good as the fertile soil of the plains outside the mountains, so the grain millet produced by ploughing the fields will be less than the fertile soil in the plains, and the cultivation will be more difficult.
There are very few people in mountain villages who can use old cattle to plow the fields, one is that there are not many good fields for villagers, and the other is that an old cow is more expensive than human life.
Although the number of acres of a hectare of land in Qi is different from that of Qin Chu, but like Qin Chu, the families behind those fields, in order to prevent missing the best time for cultivation and affecting the harvest, will buy many old cattle to provide for domestic servants and use them for labor.
It is also very common for an old cow to get sick and a slave to be blamed and finally beaten to death, even if the government sometimes does this.
Now.
With the drizzle, the sweaty villagers, every time they got up out of breath and eased the soreness in their waists and arms, they watched their father's fields be cultivated quickly, and they had completely surpassed them.
Seeing this scene, one by one the villagers were envious.
Lunch.
When the food was good, some village women came to Xiao's side very tacitly and talked with Xiao's with a kind face.
In fact, those women had an idea, that is, they thought that when their father had finished plowing their fields, if it was still early, could they let the old cow work again and borrow a cow.
No one dares to borrow the cows of the government, for fear that one will not be taken care of well, and if there is any problem at that time, even if they can't afford to pay for it, they are afraid that they will not even die.
The Xiao family is different, everyone is next to each other, and they can help a little bit.
"I really envy your family, during this period of time, when the village was busy plowing the land, your family didn't have time to plough their own land, so they went to help Zitai and their family plough the land, ploughed their land first, and came back in the past two days, and it didn't take much time to plough the land like this......"
"That's it, I'm afraid that after a while, I will be able to farm!"
Next to the field, Xiao Shi was full of sweat and a trace of rain, constantly busy, wiping his forehead, looking at the praise of these village women in front of him, he didn't care at all.
Xiao knows better than anyone that there is an old cow in the family, which is indeed envied by the villagers, but the red-eyed villagers have laughed at Shui Shou for becoming a waste person and being lame in the past, and the other son has been missing for many years, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
But to make it clear, Xiao will not slap people in the face, after all, living in the village, looking down and not looking up, he will suddenly join these fields, if he really tears his face with all the villagers, there will be countless troubles in the future.
Afraid of people is not afraid of enemies, what is afraid of people is red-eyed, this sentence is particularly true among the neighbors of the village.
"The fields are less than the ploughing fast! I have to take care of Shou'er's grandfather's family, and I have to be busy with my own family, I can't be busy, I was too anxious last year, the fields were not ploughed well, and the final harvest was not satisfactory, and after paying taxes, I almost didn't eat! Whatever you say this year, you have to let Shou'er and his father farm well, and even Shou'er and his grandfather have said that they will go back to farming tomorrow......"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and was busy, panting, Xiao seemed to think of something, his eyes were red, a touch of sadness, and his thoughts were fleeting, and after he recovered, he put the corn he had made and put it in a sack on the side, which had to be sown.
When the other women heard Xiao's words, their faces were not very good-looking, and everyone could hear that Xiao's didn't want to borrow the cow, but no one could refute Xiao's justified words.
At this time.
Under everyone's gaze, suddenly an old man in cloth clothes hurriedly walked over, his face very panicked.
"Shou his father! Hurry up! Something went wrong!! ”
The old man said to Xiao Shi and Yan Father, and one of the fingers of the hand that was raised to urge was obviously dark.
Seeing this old man, other women, and even the Xiao family, are no strangers, this is the old man in the village, is one of the few people who have been elder, in the village, the prestige is very high, but the virtue is very poor, when he was young, he liked to go to the river to peek at the women in the village bathing, and he was chased and beaten by others, and he was old later, and he was not less restrained, but relying on his seniority, prestige, and age, many people scolded a few words angrily, and they were helpless.
Hearing the conversation of the old man now, whether it was the Xiao family who was busy with corn, or the father of Yan who was farming with the old cow, they all stopped and looked at the father of Yan.
"Old, what's wrong? But Shou'er in the village, or Yunhan? ”
When Xiao heard Elder Xun's words, the first thought in his mind was Yunhan, who took care of the children at home, and Shou'er, who had inconvenient legs and feet.
"No, it's not ......"
When he came over, he was out of breath, and he didn't have time to say more, so he could only shake his head.
Looking at the appearance of the old man, the Xiao family calmed down, and the other village women became impatient and urged the old man to say what happened.
"It's the Ying clan back!"
Elder Xun said.
And the Xiao family and Yan's father, as well as other village women, heard the words of the old man, and looked puzzled, they heard a long time ago that the Ying family went to Linzi City to live unsatisfactorily, but fortunately met a nobleman, I heard that he had followed the nobleman to Chu State, looking for Zihuai and Zilu.
In this regard, Shui Shou's grandfather and grandmother were not less concerned about the Ying family, and they did not click on Zihuai and Zilu to come back.
Now that the old man said that the Ying clan had returned, could it be that Zilu and Zihuai had been found? Then this should be a good thing, according to the eccentric nature of Shou'er's grandfather and grandmother, as well as the heart of Ying's family, if Zilu and Zihuai come back, Ying's family can't wait to let Zilu come over in person, let them go over to have dinner, and show off well, why did Fang Cai Xun say that something was wrong, what happened?
"When the Ying family came back, she also brought Zilu's wife, Cen Qing, and Zihuai's bones! Zihuai is dead!! ”
Elder Xun looked at the puzzled appearance of the Xiao family, and said the matter in one breath.
As the words of the old man fell, on the field, not to mention the face of Yan's father, the other village women, as well as the Xiao family, who had always disliked Zilu and Zihuai, all changed their expressions and became panicked.
Yan's father and Xiao Shi glanced at each other, didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly led the old cow out of the field and hurriedly walked towards the village.
Not to mention the great-born father who is his own son, that is, the Xiao family who has lived together for many years in the past, knows the partiality of Shuishou's grandfather and grandmother, if it is really Zihuai's accident, it will be a big blow to Shuishou's grandfather and grandmother.
Thinking of this, the two hurriedly went home, that is, the Xiao family forgot the dissatisfaction and resentment accumulated in the past more than 20 years, and while worried, they wanted to go to Shui Shou's grandfather's house as soon as possible.
Two hours later.
In Shui Shou's grandfather's house, before Xiao Shi and Yan Father entered the courtyard, they saw countless villagers standing outside the crowded courtyard gate, Shui Shou's grandmother, and Zihuai's concubine crying, constantly coming out of it.
"Son!! Son!! Woo ah~! Oh my son!! ”
"Lovers woo woo woo~!"
Xiao Shi looked at Yan's father's honest face, full of worry, squeezed forward, and hurriedly followed behind, among the villagers who were talking, and entered the courtyard with the villagers giving way.
