Chapter 34: Tomorrow Rains

Sima Qian was quite kind, although his eyes kept staring at the only remaining bowl of "oily meat noodles", he finally restrained himself: "That, Yang Chuan Xiaoyou, a certain family has tasted it, and the oily meat noodles you cooked are extremely delicious."

There's one bowl left, you can eat it. ”

As he spoke, he turned his face with some difficulty, and sat back down on the wooden pier at the door of the kitchen.

Yang Chuan hesitated, picked a small half of the noodles, stirred a few times with the oil base at the bottom of the pot, finished eating silently, and scooped a large spoonful of hot noodle soup to shake the oil pot in a shabu, which was right to drink a bowl of clear oil noodle soup.

In difficult times, we must cherish food.

This is Yang Chuan's principle, so although he often cooks food, he hardly wastes a grain or a drop of fat.

This is a habitual action of his, but in Sima Qian's eyes, it is a different taste: "Look at the good things done by a certain family!" Tricking into eating a half-sized child's meal will cause people to drink thin soup......

Especially when Tangyi's father came back, he took a big sip and sucked away the remaining half bowl of oily and meat noodles, and drank several large bowls of noodle soup in a row like Yang Chuan, which made this military marquis even more ashamed.

"Yang Chuan Xiaoyou, are you really the son of the Han family in Longxi?" Sima Qian asked suddenly.

Yang Chuan nodded and said: "My father is the son of the Liang family in Longxi, died on the battlefield, and when I was six years old, he was plundered by the Qiang people and reduced to slavery. ”

He did not mention anything about the incident with Zhang Qian.

saved the lives of Zhang Qian and others twice, in his opinion, it was actually just a coincidence, just let him run into it, even if he was not an envoy of the Han Dynasty, he would not hesitate to make a move.

Talking about it afterwards is tantamount to blackmailing favors, which is a very boring thing.

"Do you have any relatives at home?" Sima Qian continued to ask.

Yang Chuan shook his head.

Sima Qian's brows furrowed slightly, two thick fingers lightly tapped his knees, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Your household registration is scattered, and if you are a stateless savage, unless you become a servant of an official eunuch's family and get the permission of the master's family, you can be freed." ”

Yang Chuan sighed: "The world is unpredictable, so what can I do." ”

Thinking of Zhang Qian, who had promised him, his heart was inexplicably irritable.

A roll of maps presented with kindness, plus dozens of cars of Hetian Yu, actually made him fall into an inexplicable pit, it seems that Zhang Qian seems to be upright, but in fact, he is eager for quick success, and he is still unreliable after all.

He doesn't hold a grudge against Zhang Qian, he just feels a little guilty.

"There is another way to restore your innocence, but it's just ......" Sima Qian stopped talking.

"Military exploits?" Yang Chuan asked.

Sima Qian nodded, but shook his head again, and said calmly: "First, you are too young, even if you are a prisoner, you can't join the army, and secondly, what about it...... The battlefield is ruthless, nine deaths and one life, you should continue to follow Lord Zhang Qian.

It is better to be a servant of his house than to die outside the fortress. ”

Yang Chuan's heart moved.

This Sima Qian, a good person, can say these words after deceiving a bowl of oily and meat noodles, which is really surprising in the Han Empire, which is respected by wealthy families.

"Is there a way for me to join the army?" Yang Chuan asked tentatively.

"Yes, there is, but..."Sima Qian hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "A certain family has recently requisitioned a batch of prisoners, lowly and sons-in-law, you can join the army as a stateless savage, you are still young, and you can be a firehead for the time being, can you?" ”

Yang Chuan hesitated.

He is a dignified son of a Han family, his father is even a well-documented son of a good family, but now, he has been reduced to a stateless savage, and he can only start from the Huotou Army?

Can the Guntou Army get military merit?

As far as he knows, the person who started from the Huotou Army in history and finally achieved great things seems to be Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty, right?

Of course, if the luck and strength are enough, even a slave like Wei Qing can worship the princess of the marquis, and I have to say that the Han Empire in this period of history is at least quite thoughtful, better than most of the so-called prosperous times......

Looking at Yang Chuan's hesitant appearance, Sima Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "A certain family is soft-spoken, with a mediocre family background, although he has been an official eunuch for many years, he is just an inconspicuous historian, noble and noble, but he does not have much power.

A certain family deceived you of a bowl of food, and I was too reluctant to do so, so I thought about helping you.

Since Xiaoyou hesitated, the matter was stopped, and it should be a casual conversation......"

"No, Lord Marquis, I am willing to join the army, and I am willing to start from the Huotou Army." Yang Chuan said suddenly.

Sima Qian wanted to say something, but Yang Chuan directly waved his hand to stop him.

The Western Han Dynasty implemented a recommendation system, and a "noble historian family" like Sima Qian actually had the right to recommend, as long as the relationship was close, even if it was a matter of letting you be an official, not to mention solving the problem of a person's household registration?

It's just that the "friendship" of a bowl of oily meat noodles wants to do a big thing? I want to eat it!

"The boy doesn't want to be a servant, even if he dies on the battlefield, what is there to fear!" Yang Chuan continued: "However, the kid has a reluctant request, and I hope that the military marquis will be forgiving and merciful. ”

"What?"

"Tangyi's father was originally Lord Zhang Qian's entourage when he went to the Western Regions, and now he doesn't want to go back, can Lord Junhou find a way to temporarily take him in?"

"Where's that Lord Zhang Qian?"

"If the adult doesn't say it, he won't ask, even if he asks, the adult will tell the truth, and the boy and the cousin's father have no servant documents with him."

“……”

A major event was decided so inexplicably? Sima Qian has been away for a long time, but Yang Chuan is still in a daze in the kitchen.

Why did he feel like he was a little sloppy?

Sima Qian, is this person credible? Thinking about the interaction between him and Zhang Qian at the beginning, it was almost equivalent to a friend of life and death, but he didn't expect to disperse, without the slightest concern, this can be regarded as a hell of a real mother!

What is the saying? Dou Mien ascends to Mi Qiu, things in this world are often so strange.

Some people eat you, drink you, take you, and send your heart to drink your blood and knock your bone marrow, but after all, those who turn their backs on you and stick knives into your heart are often those relatives and friends.

There has been no news from Zhang Qian's side yet, but Yang Chuan has already concluded that the few promises he made at the beginning have been 100% lost.

Moreover, the reason why he was in a hurry to join the army with his cousin's father was actually just to avoid trouble.

Put yourself in Zhang Qian's position, if he is in Zhang Qian's position at the moment, even if he is thinking of a life-saving benefactor, it is impossible to be ruthless to Yang Chuan, but why don't you want to accept him as a servant?

According to the laws of the Qin and Han dynasties, once you become a servant slave of others, if you don't have the master's permission, if you want to get rid of the slave status, there is only one way to escape to the end of the world.

In that case, why bother in the first place? It's desperate to think about.

Of course.

Maybe he's overthinking.

Maybe Zhang Qian is trying all means to solve the household registration problem for Yang Chuan, and he is also looking forward to meeting as soon as possible to fulfill the promises he made at the beginning?

It depends on the fate of the two people.

Anyway, for Yang Chuan, with Zhang Qian's help, he can take fewer detours, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't, it's nothing more than a year and a half of suffering.

On the contrary, losing his Yang Chuan's trust is an immeasurable loss for Zhang Qian.

Thinking about it like this, Yang Chuan's mood finally became comfortable.

"Uncle Tangyi, I'll make the decision for you, don't you blame me?"

"Childe is in charge."

"By the way, you have to settle your daughter, Aunt Sarena and her children......"

Yang Chuan suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was a bit heavy, how could he have the feeling of being a parent?

I'm only thirteen years old......

Yang Chuan smiled bitterly and walked out of the kitchen of the museum: "Uncle Tangyi, let's go, let's sleep well first." ”

He glanced up at the starry sky.

Tomorrow there will be rain, auspicious.
