Xie Zhiyun has become the only lifesaver for the Wang family's lady.

She didn't even know Xie Zhiyun's true identity, and she believed her words just by Xie Zhiyun's short four words.

The lady of the Wang family lowered her head and wiped a handful of tears, and when she looked up again, her eyes were much firmer.

"Madame asks, I'll try to remember."

Xie Zhiyun said lightly: "It's still a matter of Fang Cai, where does he like to go to eat and drink on weekdays?" ”

The lady of the Wang family fell into the memories, she thought very seriously, as if she wanted to dig out the bits and pieces of these years from the depths of her memory.

"When we first got married, he didn't eat alcohol," said the lady of the Wang family, "At the beginning, he said that General Sun did not let his soldiers eat alcohol, they were defenders, and if they all ate wine and delayed things, then the people of Yezhou City would suffer." ”

"Only when he is not on duty, he occasionally has a few drinks at home, but he is not hungry for wine."

"Later......" the eyes of the lady of the Wang family changed slightly, "Later, it was the third year of Yuankang, that year Yezhou was invaded by the bandit army of the Wucao Department, and there were heavy casualties, that is, after that year, Wang Eryong began to go to the tavern frequently. ”

Xie Zhiyun listened carefully, and didn't ask her what she experienced at the time, but just asked, "Which tavern?" ”

The taverns in this city are all old businessmen, they are all old wine shops that have been running for generations, and they have a lot of wine in their hands, and they can buy all kinds of wine from the wine company through wine guides.

The lady of the Wang family lowered her head: "At that time, I had just experienced the war, because I was frightened, I was still giving birth prematurely, but he was always away from home at that time, I was very angry, quarreled with him, he just blindly coaxed me, or came back with silver taels to prevaricate me." ”

"He has a division, and his monthly salary is only twenty taels, but he got back as many as 100 taels during that time, and I feel that something is wrong."

Because of the shortcomings of the old dynasty, there have been wars for many years, and even today there is finally a moment of stability, which is cherished by the government and the opposition.

Therefore, compared with civil officials, military attachés have a higher salary, and the people also agree with this.

After all, they abandon their families and businesses to protect the people, exchange their lives for money, and pay more, so they naturally have more in return.

For the lady of the Wang family, twenty taels is a lot, their family of four can live happily, and when Wang Eryong is promoted in the future, he can save dozens of taels a year, which is already stronger than the vast majority of ordinary people.

So the one hundred taels frightened the lady of the Wang family.

"He must have explained it to you, or you wouldn't have noticed anything unusual."

The lady of the Wang family sighed.

"Madame was right, he told me at the time that a tavern he often went to had set up a game of cards, specializing in playing sparrow cards, and he could not do anything else, but he could remember the cards, and won so much money in a few days in a row, that he was afraid that I would be uneasy, so he did not dare to tell me."

The military orders of the Wei family army are strict, and the first rule is that it is forbidden to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble.

He not only went to the tavern, but also gambled, no wonder he was cautious and lingered, and it was precisely because of this that he hid and tucked away, and the lady of the Wang family didn't notice it.

Xie Zhijun asked, "Which one?" ”

The lady of the Wang family smiled bitterly: "He naturally refused to tell me, I was worried that he would run out of errands, and repeatedly persuaded him not to gamble, but he later seemed to really listen to my words and did not go to that place without seeing the sky." ”

Yuankang had such a thing in the third year, Wei Cang was sad because of the destruction of the old name, and that year he basically took the halberd to suppress bandits in Taiji Mountain, and he was indeed a little negligent in Yezhou City.

Xie Zhiyun kept all this in mind, she didn't ask the lady of the Wang family, and just waited quietly for her to speak.

Sure enough, the lady of the Wang family opened her mouth: "The one hundred taels of silver are hanging above my head all the time, I am afraid that he will not know how to restrain and be found to have violated the military order, so I specially chose a day to secretly follow him." ”

"That tavern is called Drunken Wo Zhai, and the name is quite good, because it is close to home, and I have also gone there to buy wine when I need to celebrate the New Year in previous years."

"What did you see there?" Xie Zhiyun asked.

The lady of the Wang family said: "I didn't dare to let him know that I was following him, and I didn't go in, so I took a sneak peek outside, it was quiet inside, there was no noise, and it seemed that the door was closed and locked." ”

Speaking of this, the lady of the Wang family was silent.

Xie Zhiyun continued for her: "So you think that Wang Eryong is just playing the sparrow card, and the tavern is very cautious, as long as it is not discovered, it will be fine, and Wang Eryong has always been very lucky, more when he wins, and less when he loses, right?" ”

The lady of the Wang family lowered her head: "Yes, it's not right." ”

"Madam, you probably don't know how an orphan girl wants to live, although I am fostered in the third uncle's house, but after all, I am not my own child, since I married Wang Eryong, the relationship with the third uncle's family has faded, because I already have another home."

"If this new home is gone, then I will be homeless."

So she kept it under wrap and didn't tell anyone.

"Fortunately, Wang Eryong didn't go much later, and he seemed to have lost interest in gambling, so I was relieved, if I hadn't mentioned it today, I would have almost forgotten it."

Xie Zhiyun did not pause, and she did not need to go out to inform Liu Zhaohui, she believed that Liu Zhaohui had already started to search the liquor store.

Xie Zhiyun asked, "Is there anything else?" You have been married for six or seven years, day and night, day and night, and it is impossible for you not to notice his abnormality. ”

"Or the jewelry that was given to you suddenly, or the inexplicable late return and early departure, or maybe it was the unusual smell on the body."

Xie Zhiyun's voice was clear and light, and a wisp of smoke and dust was repeated, bringing the Wang family's lady into the past years.

She lowered her eyes and remembered carefully, and there was a moment of silence in the tent.

At this moment, she suddenly raised her head: "I remember, I remember that he bought a military uniform and came back." ”

Yu Hanzhao, who had not made a sound, looked at her fixedly.

The lady of the Wang family was silent in her memories, not noticing her gaze, she said: "Wang Eryong's military uniforms are all issued in the battalion, three times a season, and I will wash him every season when I bring it back, so that it will not prick people when I wear it on my body." ”

"But once he bought an identical military uniform from outside, he told me that he was learning from the people in the camp, and accidentally damaged the military uniform, and the new season has not been released, so he can only buy one himself and come back to replace it."

"I can remember today because there was a smell on the uniform, and I washed it with soap horn for three days before washing it."

Xie Zhiyun said: "What taste? ”

The lady of the Wang family recalled carefully: "It is an indescribable, rancid smell of food." ”

Yu Hanzhao gently tugged on Xie Zhiyun's sleeve, Xie Zhiyun looked at her, and saw that Yu Hanzhao's eyes were shining, and there were thousands of stars in his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, I know what's going on."
