Chapter 268: Father Lin's Big Deal
Shen Ge smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, "My father-in-law sent me a letter, saying that he hired two hundred people from Wangping Town for 10,000 taels of silver, and calculated the itinerary, it should be there in ten days."
Xu Chuan's eyes lit up, "Is it Wangping Town, which has passed through the Xiacai Gorge in Raozhou?"
Xu Chuan, the town of Wangping, was visited, a town built on the edge of the Yangtze River that allowed passing ships to anchor overnight.
Shen Ge nodded, pointed to the dock on the map of Anzhou City, and said, "It's that town, the people in the town have all grown up soaked in water, and the water is excellent. There are hundreds of warships parked in the Anzhou dock, and I can join forces with the inner and outer parts of the city, break the underwater fence of the dock and sneak in, chisel the keel of the warship, burn the sails, and completely break the idea of King An going south to the south."
Xu Chuan worried, "This trip is extremely dangerous, and the little boy is still ......."
"Let him go." Shen Cunyu clapped, "When the people arrived, Shen Ge took them into the city, and all the warships in the dock were scuttled by Lao Tzu!"
Shen Ge knew that his sister would not stop him, so he straightened his chest and said, "The last general will take orders." Chinese Net
After finishing his business, Shen Cunyu patted Shen Ge on the shoulder, "Why did your father-in-law hire someone from Wangping Town?"
"He knew that his sister had few defenders, so he couldn't rest assured, so he spent money to hire reinforcements along the way. In addition to the two hundred sailors in Wangping Town, he also hired more than three hundred dart masters and hunters, and these people are also coming in batches." Shen Ge took out the letter sent by his father-in-law and handed it to his sister.
"The boatman is hired for five hundred and twenty-one, and the dart master and the hunter are afraid that it will not be much cheaper." Xu Chuan sighed.
Opening this golden letter, Shen Cunyu realized that Father Lin not only spent money to hire people to reinforce Youhou Wei, but also sent thousands of catties of grain and grass, she solemnly folded the letter and handed it back to Shen Ge, "Your father-in-law can handle this person, if you dare to do something sorry for Ruyu in the future, you don't need your father-in-law to make a move, Lao Tzu will beat you to death."
When Shen Ge and Shen Cunyu were intensively arranging a plan to attack the Anzhou dock, Father Lin and Second Uncle Fang escorted the second elder of the Fang family to Xuanzhou City.
Mrs. Fang, who hadn't seen her for more than three years, hugged her and cried as soon as she saw Fang's mother and daughter, and too many things had happened in the past two years. Last year, Fang's mother and daughter were first in distress outside Wusha Town, and then encountered floods outside Haolian Village, and escaped death several times; This year, King An rebelled, and Chuzhou became a mess, Uncle Fang's father and son disappeared one after another, and the two elders of the Fang family were ready to die for the country.
So to see each other now is really like a lifetime, which is extremely cherished. Lin Ruyu accompanied her mother and grandmother, and Second Uncle Lin accompanied her eldest brother and Fang's father and son, talking about Uncle Fang being rescued by Shen Ge.
mentioned that Uncle Fang's father and son were rescued, and Fang's and Mrs. Fang also stopped their grief. Old Man Fang said, "We also heard about this on the way, and knowing that their father and son are safe, my heart is completely relieved."
The road from Chuzhou to Xuanzhou was not very smooth, and for the sake of safety, Lin's father changed boats, cars, and horses several times, and even twice had to avoid hundreds of evil bandits, and had to avoid the deep forest, and walked for three days from the walk. When he came out of the forest and heard the people talking about how Youhou Wei had rescued more than 20 officials and rich gentry who had been taken hostage by King An from Chuzhou, Father Lin immediately sent someone to inquire and learned that there were Fang family father and son, and the old lady of Fang family cried with joy.
Fang wiped his tears and said, "Shen Ge sent a letter saying that the eldest brother and Runjiong are in good health, and he persuaded the eldest brother to stay in Youhouwei or come to Xuanzhou, but the eldest brother said that he has an official position and must not leave his post without permission, and must return to the city. Runjiong's child was filial and went back with his eldest brother."
When Old Man Fang heard that his eldest son was going back, he was more relieved than worried, "At the moment of national crisis, the officials of the imperial court must put the safety of the society in the first place, so as to be worthy of heaven and earth and the monarch."
Second Uncle Fang didn't like to listen to his father's tirade the most, so he hurriedly said, "Father, my little sister is still pregnant, so it is not appropriate to stand for a long time, let's go back to the house and talk about it?"
After everyone returned to the courtyard that Fang had cleaned up for his parents and second brother and sat down, the three of Fang's family bathed and changed their clothes first, and Father Lin also helped his wife back to the courtyard to change clothes. When husband and wife get together, they have endless words and endless heartfelt feelings.
After cleaning up, because there is a custom in Xuanzhou that pregnant women and confinement mothers do not see each other, Lin Ruyu accompanied her grandmother to visit her second aunt Wen, who was in confinement.
Just half full
Xiao Yan'er, the third girl of the Lin family for a month, used her dark eyes to look at Mrs. Fang at once, "This child looks so good, especially these eyes, he is clever and sensible at first glance."
"It's all from Jiaojiao." Wen, who was wrapped in a cloth towel on his head, smiled with a satisfied face, "Jiaojiao said that when she was pregnant with a child, she would eat more grapes, and her eyes would be dark and bright when she gave birth to a child, and my aunt advised my sister-in-law to eat more."
Mrs. Fang said yes again and again, and left a pair of silver bracelets for Xiao Yan'er as a welcome gift without much disturbance, and returned to the guest house with her granddaughter. On the way, Mrs. Fang kept holding Lin Ruyu's hand and said with relief, "The last time my grandmother saw you, you were still a little baby who would blush after two praises, and you will grow into a big girl in a flash."
Speaking of this, thinking of the suffering of her daughter, grandson, and granddaughter in Qi County, Mrs. Fang's hands tightened a little, "Jiaojiao, it is her blessing that your mother has such a capable daughter as you, and this time the Fang family is also stained with your light, so that the family can be safe."
If it weren't for Shen Ge, the second elder of the Fang family would not have been able to get out of Chuzhou City, and Uncle Fang's father and son would not have been rescued. The reason why Shen Ge is so concerned about the affairs of the Fang family is because he is Lin Ruyu's fiancé. That's why Mrs. Fang is easy to say, it's the light of her granddaughter.
When Lin Ruyu helped her grandmother to walk back, Lin's father was also discussing with his father-in-law, uncle and second brother in the study. Hearing that the eldest brother was going to leave the city for two days and rush to King An, Second Uncle Lin immediately said, "The eldest brother stayed to take care of the second elder and the eldest sister-in-law, this time I go, I can't let the eldest brother take risks outside every time."
Before Father Lin could speak, Second Uncle Fang said, "My brother-in-law just left, and he has already done what he can do, and it is useless to go again, I will go this time."
The revenge of the eldest brother and nephew who were arrested must be avenged by him personally.
Old Man Fang also opened his mouth, "Let your second brother go, over there in Suizhou and Jingzhou, the Fang family has more manpower than the Lin family."
Sui Prefecture is north of Anzhou, and Jingzhou is west of Anzhou. King An has been keeping an eye on the states in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and has not allocated many manpower to these two states. Just like what Father Lin did on the way out of Xuanzhou to Chuzhou, Second Uncle Fang went to Suizhou and Jingzhou in order to use the channels of the Fang family to raise grain and grass for Youhou Wei and seek reinforcements.
The Fang family and the Lin family both breathed a sigh of relief: even if they scattered their family wealth, they also wanted to help the right Hou Wei capture Anzhou City and capture King An's father and son!
