Chapter 656: Hot Blood
The woman was leaning on the man's arms and crying softly, but suddenly heard a knock on the door, and was suddenly startled, the man's brows were also frowned, and he comforted his wife not to panic, and he felt the darkness out of the bedroom, but stepped on a strange thing, he was stunned for a moment, bent down to pick it up, and did not have time to look closely, and when he opened the door, he did not see the knocker, the man looked at it suspiciously for a while, and his eyes finally fell on the door knocker, but he saw a white jade that was obviously worn by the nobles, and it hung there and dangled.
The man was shocked, but he quickly took off the jade pendant, remembering what he had just found, and looked at it through the moonlight......
"Juan Niang, come out quickly." Regardless of the cold of the night, the man called his wife repeatedly.
The couple took advantage of the moonlight to see the bag full of coins and the incomparably precious jade pendant, and they couldn't believe their eyes for a while.
The two of them were still worrying about their livelihoods just now.
It turned out that the man's surname was Zhang Dazhuang, he was lost at an early age, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals, but with his natural strength, he was not only able to support himself when he became an adult, but even saved a small amount of savings to marry a wife, but with the army pressing, many merchants moved out of Jinyang City, Zhang Dazhuang had gradually difficulty finding a living, not long ago, one of his children died of illness, and in order to treat his children, the last savings of the family were exhausted.
Seeing that there was no food and clothing, Da Zhuang had the heart to join the army, intending to rely on Wu Yongbo to have a future, and not let his wife follow him to starve - although there was a law of compulsory conscription during the Great Zhou War, but the only son and the only young man in the family were not restricted by the law, Da Zhuang did not need to serve in the military, but now he was forced by life, so he had such an idea.
But as soon as he left, he left his wife alone at home, so he hesitated, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the family had no food, or rely on neighbors to help his wife eat a half, such a sorrow made Zhang Dazhuang make up his mind after a tossing and turning, so he just woke up his wife Juanniang to discuss.
"I voluntarily joined the army, and the government will give me a consistent money subsidy, even if I am not at home, you can support it for a while, if I can make meritorious deeds, maybe I will get an official and a half position, and I will not let you have a fight with me, even if I do not make meritorious service for a while, I will also distribute chestnut food to military families every quarter, so as not to make you starving."
When Juan Niang heard this, she cried out in fright, and objected again and again: "The war is dangerous, where is it so easy for ordinary people to make war exploits, if there is a ...... The youngest son of Zhao Yu in the lane lost his life on the battlefield, and the government did not compensate for anything, and even the bones were not returned. ”
"But my dignified husband, how can I see that my wife and children have no food and clothing with me, and the two children are not suffering from some serious illness, if it is not because my grandfather is useless, why would he die young? Besides, the rise and fall of the family and the country is the responsibility of the husband, if the rebels invade Jinyang, we will not even have a place to settle down, I don't believe it, I Zhang Dazhuang has never done anything wrong, and God will really see that I am cornered. ”
"The concubine body heard that King Anton should be more sympathetic to the people's livelihood than the imperial court, otherwise so many cities in Yan Zhao were captured by King Anton, but there were not too many refugees, I heard that the people of Yan Zhao can live and work in peace and contentment, and it is better to ...... than to join the army."
"Hugh said nonsense, King Anton is a traitor, colluding with the Northern Liao people to invade the country, although I Zhang Dazhuang has never read the book of sages, but I also know what it is to be honest, even if I die in battle, I will never surrender to the enemy...... If I die, while you are young, you can still find another family, just forget me, in the end, it is my uselessness that has made you suffer with me for the past few years. ”
When Juan Niang heard this, she cried more and more, and she did not agree with her husband's decision.
However, at this time, Zhang Dazhuang looked at the "windfall from heaven" in his hand, and strengthened his determination to join the army.
"Juan Niang, not all corrupt officials in Jinyang City are corrupt officials, you see...... This must not be the manifestation of the gods and Buddhas, when it is a kind-hearted person's benevolence, maybe our conversation just now was heard, it must be a kind-hearted person who appreciates me Zhang Dazhuang is so loyal and brave, so he does not hesitate to give it to his personal things, Juan Niang, you also have to believe me, not to mention the title of high-ranking official, at least I can rely on myself to fight for you to have no worries about food and clothing. ”
And Eleven Niang heard He Ye talk about this accidental "corner" accident, and her expression was even more solemn: "I believe that Wuwei Hou will not conceal the casualties and withhold the pension, it should be Mao Wei's party embezzling compensation, but Mo said that this half-crime is difficult to shake Mao Wei's official position, and it is not so easy to verify the evidence, but Xue Sixth Brother is now serving as Taiyuan Yin, and these embezzlements should be deterred, Mao Wei's party will not dare to act as wanton as before, and I will pay more attention to this matter. Of course, family members, wives and children cannot lose their protection, especially those who sacrificed their lives for the monarchy, although the battlefield of burying bones cannot be completely avoided, they should be given bereavement compensation to their families, and not a single penny or coin can be missing. ”
He Ye also sneered again and again: "Now even the women of poor families have heard that King Anton is more sympathetic to the people's livelihood, such as Mao Wei, but he is still deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, it is this time that Xuan Zhi is allowed to implement the new policy, and he is determined to reform the ills, but also because the army is already on fire, even so, the Queen Mother still will not ask Mao Wei for the crime, conniving at the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, regardless of the suffering of the people, only caring about fighting for power and profit, pampering and pampering, if people really have a soul after death, they will be buried by Wei's The ancestors surnamed He didn't know how they felt. ”
Because of such a stimulus on Chinese New Year's Eve, He Ye was even more impatient to go to Weize Pass, because although the next day was New Year's Day, His Royal Highness the King of Jin still decided to quietly rush to Guangyang, and he was just a decoration, Mo said that New Year's Day had a three-day Mu holiday, which was ordinary, and Mao Wei and others should not expect His Royal Highness the King of Jin to be worth it.
He Ye has always been arrogant, that is, he closed the door on New Year's Day, and I believe that no one dares to criticize, even if he leaves Jinyang City, he doesn't have to worry about making people suspicious.
Of course, this trip to Guangyang still needs to be hidden, so you can't swagger out of the city as the king of Jin, but with the means of the king of Jin, it is of course easy to forge it, but it just needs to be changed.
Although He Ye's height is different from ordinary people, it is not rare in the world, painting a face black, and then staining a circle of unkempt beard, it seems to be a martial artist's posture, Shi Niang also changed into a men's dress, painted her face slightly yellow, her eyebrows were slightly thickened, and she took off her calm and square bearing, and she actually looked like a small girl, no one could recognize her as the princess of Jin, Bi Nu was surprised: "I don't know where His Royal Highness found such a strange person, he actually knows how to disguise." ”
Ah Lu was especially proud to be literate for Binu: "Where is this disguise technique, Hu Bo can even make people \/skin\/face\/mask, another day to open your eyes, let Miao Dongsheng take that face, ensure that you can't tell who is real and who is fake." ”
Although Binu was also looking forward to it, she was worried because of another matter: "The princess is going back to Guangyang this time, why don't you let her maid accompany her?" ”
Eleven Niang practiced her expression change in front of the bronze mirror, and comforted Binu after hearing this: "You have to rush back and forth in three or two days, you and Alu can't ride fast horses, let you follow, but it will drag down the trip, I still have Hu Niangzi by my side, you don't need to worry." ”
It turned out that this time I went to Guangyang Weize Pass, only three people went, of course Eleven Niang would not worry about safety, Hu's one-handed swordsmanship is not only for people to watch, but also able to go into battle to kill the enemy, not to mention that He Ye himself is a master, there is no need to escort at all, among the three, Eleven Niang is the burden, so how can it be possible to bring Binu and Ah Lu these two are more "weak"?
"The lady is not a slave, let her wait for the princess to live, the maid is really a little relieved."
"I have a pair of hands, where do I need an attendant to stay inch?" Eleven Niang is quite confident.
Ai Lu on the side was also worried: "The maid can already ride a fast horse, but the princess still leaves the maid in the house." ”
"This trip is for important things, not for sightseeing, Ai Lu is not in a hurry, since we have come to Jinyang, there is no shortage of opportunities to go out in the future." Eleven Niang is still very patient with the girl, and she comforts her gently.
Suddenly, he remembered something again, and hurriedly instructed Binu: "That He Niangzi is only afraid that she has fully recovered, but since I am not in the house, I still tell the other side to be bound for a few days." ”
