Chapter 013: Wolf's Tooth Town
Xiu Niang's strange appearance made the fox slope wilt not feel it.
He suddenly found that Xiuniang's ten fingers were slender, white and soft, and the daily housework did not rough her skin.
With a pair of big almond eyes, a smile and shallow dimples, and blushing cheeks, it is really charming.
These can be called natural beauty, indicating that her genes are noble and high-quality, and she is not an ordinary ordinary family.
Linghu Po didn't know what the ancients described as sinking fish and geese, closing flowers and shy moons, what it looked like, but the one in front of him was definitely a stunning girl.
Just take a shower and dress up, and you'll be completely different.
Linghu Po is not Yanagishita Hui, he felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't put it down when he touched it with his big hand, and he had some impulses.
Xiuniang suddenly retracted her hand, turned away shyly, and picked up the needle and thread again.
Ling Hupo came back to his senses at this time, snorted a few times, and tried to calm himself down, "Xiu'er, I'll continue to talk about the wolves." ”
"Well, you say, I'll listen." Xiuniang didn't raise her head.
"Uh-huh... It's like this..."
Ling Hupo explained this matter in detail to Xiuniang from beginning to end, and when it was over, he also took out the ten taels of silver ingots from the kang head.
"This is an official ingot and official silver, which is inlaid with the official office and the year, month and day." Xiuniang only glanced at it and exclaimed.
"Official ingots, official silver?"
Only then did Linghu Po re-examine the ingot of silver.
Ingot shape, engraved with the state and county system, Yongchang five years of words.
Although in his previous life, Ling Hupo had read about the official silver from ancient books, but the real official silver was the first time he had seen it.
When Miss Yingzi threw him the silver ingot in the morning, there was no reaction in his mind, indicating that the original owner had never seen the official silver.
On the contrary, she stayed at home, and the seventeen-year-old Xiuniang knew the official ingots at a glance, isn't it strange?
"Xiu'er, have you seen Guanyin, and you still recognize the words?"
"I... When I was young, I went to a private school for a few years, and I saw the silver ingots at home, and later..."Xiuniang said later, her voice was as small as a gnat, a bit like lip talk.
Xiuniang's identity has a hidden secret, Ling Hu Po has long been aware of it, she was picked up by Ling Hu's father from the road, it must be unusual.
But she didn't want to say it now, Ling Hupo understood that this kind of thing couldn't be forced, and she would say it herself after his trust increased.
"Not to mention the official ingots, anyway, we now have these ten taels of silver, in addition to paying off the lame master's gambling debts and annual taxes, we still have surplus, we can buy some family property, such as horses, cattle and sheep, or we can renovate the house, such as buying you some clothes and shoes, and bracelets or something."
Unexpectedly, Linghu Po was so imaginative that he crackled and said a lot, and Xiuniang was happy to hear it.
"It's okay to buy some family property, I have my clothes, and I'll mend the old clothes left by my mother in the house, and sew a leather jacket myself." Xiuniang said with a smile.
"Oh yes, Xiu'er, that goatskin, sewn into a half-length leather robe, you wear it very well, and that roe deer skin, how about you make a leather skirt of leather pants?"
"Goatskin, I tailor a leather robe, you can, but the roe deer skin will sew you a pair of leather pants, and it will soon enter the lunar day, you are running outside, you need to keep warm." Xiuniang corrected.
It seems that she is still quite diligent and thrifty.
I didn't see Linghu Po mention gambling tonight, Xiuniang was surprised and surprised, and she couldn't express her happiness in words, she was all smirking there.
Linghu Po was on the kang, laughing and chatting with her, watching her sew clothes and pants, and felt very happy.
Tomorrow, he has to go to Wolftooth Town to settle his gambling debts.
As he spoke, he fell asleep, after all, he didn't sleep last night, and he was too tired and tired to cross mountains and mountains in the past two days.
Xiuniang came over and pulled the futon on him and stuffed it tightly around his neck and shoulders.
Looking at his face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, how did he feel that it seemed to be a little different from the previous Linghu Dalang?
Maybe Da Lang has gotten better, so he feels a little strange, but in fact, the sturdy man in front of him is his future husband
Both his biological parents and adoptive parents have passed away one after another, and Ling Hupo is the one he relies on in this life.
Thinking of this, Xiuniang couldn't help but stretch out her slender jade hand and caress Ling Hupo's rather handsome face, and her face was red with shame.
After a while, her heart was beating in a panic, and she quickly retracted her hand, sat back at the table, picked up the thick needle, threaded the thick twine, and used the copper 'thimble' to assist in the shuttle on the heavy wolf skin.
Early morning.
When Ling Hupo woke up from the kang, he found Xiuniang falling asleep on the side of the kang.
On the kang were newly made cotton and linen clothes and trousers, and the wolf skin on the table had been sewn into a leather robe.
It is estimated that Xiuniang has stayed up all the time.
Ling Hupo put on new clothes and pants, and came down to gently hug Xiuniang on the kang and let her rest for a while.
Wearing that plush wolf robe, I felt warm all over my body, not only the heavy wolf skin to warm my body, but also the stitches and threads of Xiu Niang, which were very precious.
The same water was chopped with firewood, washed, and heated the leftover meat and wowotou from last night in the kitchen, and after eating, he went back to the house and carried the ten taels of silver ingots, ready to go to Wolf's Tooth Town.
When he walked to the door, he felt that he should talk to Xiuniang, but he didn't want to wake her up, so he dipped the ashes in water and wrote on the table where the clothes were cut: "I'm going to Wolftooth Town." ”
Literacy is good, and there is one more way to communicate.
……
Wolf's Tooth Town, also known as Wolf's Tooth Fort.
It was actually a frontier military castle, a stone fort-style military fortress.
The ancient town, called the military town, and the town of later generations, are completely different things.
In Langya Town, except for the border sergeants and some of the family members of the army, the others are prisoners, slaves, border refugees, etc.
There is a mixture of Hu and Han here, and the law and order is very poor.
It is also a hiding place for fugitives, Jiangyang thieves, murderers and others.
There are about five or six thousand people in the town, and they are in the army, but they are a department, about five hundred people.
Ministry, the military unit of the final Jin Dynasty, is equivalent to a battalion-level establishment in later generations.
Under the ministry is Tun, Shi, Wu.
The town guard of Langya Town Fort is called Yan Sen, and the people of the rivers and lakes are called 'Hades'.
Don't look at him as an eighth-rank military attaché, but he is the emperor of the soil here, and he has the right to kill and take away.
The final Jin Dynasty followed the Han system and had a relatively perfect border policy, that is, the border reclamation.
The garrison had its own land and pastures, which were cultivated and grazed half-farm and half-pastoral, for military supplies.
Ordinary soldiers do not have military pay and military supplies, and only sergeant majors above the rank of captain have a certain amount of military pay and military quartermasters.
It is conceivable that they do not have much national consciousness, they are just defending their homeland, and whoever does not let them live, they will fight for their lives.
Here, everything must be self-sufficient, rich or poor, complete and operate on its own.
The owner of Wolf Tooth Town is Yan Sen.
Everyone here, whether prisoners, slaves, or soldiers, only obeys his orders, because he is the one who provides all the conditions for survival, including life.
