Chapter Twenty-Six: Viewing the Moon
"Passing on the order of General Beida, due to the tight fighting on the front line, the wounded soldiers of our army have increased greatly, and a temporary first-aid station is ordered to be set up in Beixian County within three days to accommodate the wounded soldiers of our army."
Outside the city gate, a black-faced captain took a military order, rode a black horse, and shouted to the guards in Shangbei County.
He did not enter the city, but without looking back, he turned and rode in the direction of the battlefield.
Wen Yu, who was in the county government hall, watched Wu Yun and Ma Dabiao turn around in a hurry, and scolded each other.
Because the guards have just come to convey the order of the general of the protection of the north.
"Look at what I'm doing, dead old Wu, I'm just a rough person in charge of foreign affairs, this is your business, you are in charge of internal affairs"
"You fart, the general who protects the north is the whole city, and we have so many Langzhong in Shangbei County"
"You just fart, I don't care, you figure it out yourself"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Wen Yu shouted as she rubbed her temples.
"Isn't there three more days left? Let's recruit Langzhong from the nearby prefecture quickly."
"We mainly don't have money in the treasury, and food is also a big problem," Wu Yun sat on a chair.
"That's not simple, you are responsible for recruiting Langzhong from nearby counties, and I'll figure out how to deal with these problems afterwards"
In addition to the 20,000 silver tickets, Wen Yu also gave Qin Yu for safekeeping, and he also had 30,000 taels picked up by Yang Zheng, it was time to make a contribution.
"Wen Jishi, you are really a pillar."
"Yes, yes, Brother Wen"
Wen Yu was too lazy to listen to their sycophants, picked up the note and said, "In the summer of the twenty-third year of Nanhua, General Hubei ordered Shangbei County to be a temporary emergency center, and because the county government had no silver, he borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from a well-wisher surnamed Wen."
Ma Dabiao hurriedly arranged for someone to recruit Lang Zhong, and Wu Yun went to vacate the temporary venue.
Three days went by in a flash
This time, one hundred and eight people from the surrounding neighboring counties were recruited, and Wen Yu was responsible for registering them.
"Wen Gongzi"
Hearing someone call herself, Wen Yu turned to look, and an old man with a goatee and a beautiful little girl got out of the carriage.
"Mr. Zhao, Miss Xuanyu, long time no see" Wen Yu hurriedly stepped forward to recognize him.
"I heard that you Shangbei County recruited Langzhong because of the war, so Master and I rushed over," Zhao Xuanyu came to Wen Yu, lowered his head and said softly with a red face.
"Haha, welcome, welcome"
"Wen remembers, the arranged accommodation is full," a yacha ran over to Wen Yu and said.
Wen Yu took the roster and checked it and said, "Mr. Zhao, the residence is full, if you don't dislike it, go to my general."
Mr. Zhao touched his beard and said with a smile, "Mr. Wen can arrange it."
"Miss Yu'er, welcome, come, come in" Qin Yu took Zhao Xuanyu's hand.
"Thank you, aunt" Zhao Xuanyu playfully stuck out her little tongue and walked into the Wen Mansion.
Because the county government sent people, Yang Zheng and his brothers were arranged by Wen Yu to help.
Qin Yu was cooking dinner in the back kitchen, and Wen Hao and Mr. Zhao had a deep chat. The rest of Wen Yu and Miss Zhao, you look at me, I look at you, there is no topic, and the embarrassment is extreme.
"I'm going to help my aunt" Zhao Xuanyu broke the topic and entered the back kitchen.
"Really good, why don't you make my Yu'er a daughter-in-law," Qin Yu said to Miss Zhao while busy.
"Ah" Zhao Xuanyu exclaimed in surprise, blushing and not speaking.
At the dinner table, Wen Hao and Mr. Zhao drank happily, and Qin Yu kept sandwiching dishes for Zhao Xuanyu.
"Yu'er, aren't you going to drink some?" Wen Hao looked at Wen Yu, who was sitting on the side embarrassed, and asked.
Wen Yu nodded slightly, and Wen Hao poured a bowl of wine, this wine seemed to be unable to quit, Wen Yu took the wine bowl and saluted his life-saving benefactor, Mr. Zhao.
"Gong Wen, please feel free, the wounded of the army will arrive tomorrow, you have to be busy" Mr. Zhao motioned to Wen Yu to drink less.
Wen Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm just an eight-grade chronicler, an idler."
"I see that Wen Gongzi talks extraordinary, how can he be ranked as an eighth-grade petty official?" The goatee broke the casserole, and the main reason for asking in the end was to learn more about Wen Yu and facilitate the delivery of the apprentice.
"Old gentleman, it's a long story, my Yu'er won the second class at twenty-three, because she offended the crown prince of the dynasty, all..."
"Come, let's not talk about this, let's drink," Wen Yu said with a smile to the two opposites.
After being full of wine and food, Wen Yu lay on his bed, in a daze.
"Knock Knock"
There was a knock at the door.
Wen Yu straightened her clothes and opened the door.
"It's you, Miss Zhao, what's the matter?" Wen Yu looked at her and asked.
"Young Master Wen, the moon is very round today, I can't sleep, I want to invite you to enjoy the moon together and talk"
Wen Yu also drank too much wine, and it was good to go out to breathe so he readily agreed.
The two sat in the courtyard and looked at the beautiful moonlight.
At this time, above the sky, fireflies flew one after another, like stars, shining, Zhao Xuanyu stood up with a smile and chased the fireflies in the courtyard.
She grabbed it for a long time, but she never caught any of them. She turned to look at Wen Yu, who was quiet in the wind.
Seeing Zhao Xuanyu looking at herself, Wen Yu touched her head embarrassedly, got up, jumped, grabbed a firefly, and handed it to Zhao Xuanyu.
"To you"
Zhao Xuanyu held the firefly in his hand, put it on his chest, and silently made a wish.
Then with an open hand, the fireflies flew into the sky.
"What did you wish for?" Wen Yu asked.
"Don't tell you"
Zhao Xuanyu blushed and trotted back to his room.
