From afar, you can see a group of people coming.

The front was opened by four military horses, and the next was the first cavalry team planting the military flag of the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

Then the guard scepter team wore the official title card of the Ministry of Rites, which said to evade, be quiet, and escort three special court-bound carriages in the rear, and there were more than 20 ordinary vehicles behind the official car.

Pingzhou County and County Cheng led a group of officials to greet them early.

His heart was beating a drum.

At present, Tao Zhixian and Liu County Lieutenants are being careful beside General Zhenbei in the county, and they only sent him to greet the Sanpin officials, and I don't know if these important members of the Ministry of Rites will pick on them.

These sesame officials are the generals of Zhenbei and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they can't afford to offend any of them.

To tell the truth, they would rather not have a chance not to be promoted, and would rather let this place stay poor all the time, rather than have one ancestor after another.

And the mutual market is imminent, even if it is just to assist the Zhenbei Army, then those of them wearing official uniforms must be mules and horses to be pulled out.

What is the real situation in Pingzhou County, I can't hide it anymore.

The county man pondered these in his heart, but his face became more respectful as the team got closer.

Behind the county Cheng were also kneeling post officials such as Yi Cheng, as well as even the owners of the civilian inn on the opposite side of the official road were also kneeling on the side of the road.

Liu Laozhu's eldest brother got a letter from Yicheng on the other side early, and even he boiled hot water and prepared dry food.

He was a little nervous, as the cars stopped, and the officials passed by, but he didn't dare to see him when he saw the soap boots, and he didn't even dare to raise his head when he knelt in the back row.

Liu Laozhu's eldest brother is like this, not to mention his son, nephew, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and others behind him.

Liu Laozhu's sister-in-law Vanilla kept tugging at the placket, and she wore the most decent clothes to come out so as not to stain the eyes of nobles. Looking closely at her, it seems that she is still shivering. Her man quietly looked sideways at her, telling her not to tremble, lest she be affected by herself.

Liu Laozhu thought to himself: A bunch of things, what are you doing on weekdays.

If Mrs. Xu heard this, Mrs. Xu would definitely complain on the spot: Are you not finished? If you are really better than your sister-in-law, what did you tremble when you first saw Huo Jiajun.

I think you're following your roots.

When the person named Shi'an was questioned, Liu Laozhu almost knelt down with a weak knee. I couldn't say a word when I was still struggling, and I couldn't breathe when I stood next to him, and I was suffocated. But I'm really afraid that others won't know about it.

Isn't that just because there is a ghost in the heart that it will perform poorly?

Liu Laozhu still doesn't dare to mention it to anyone, and Lei's nest was secretly taken away for questioning a few days ago. He and Lao Lei also swore a dumb gambling curse. So as soon as I saw Huo Jiajun's true face, I felt that I had already been pinched, and there was nowhere to hide, so it would be strange if I wasn't nervous, so I was afraid that the other party would say next: "Take it away." ”

Far from it.

At this time, Liu Laozhu stood in front of his eldest brother with a dark expression and said, "Big brother, it's me." The other side of the car has begun to unload, what are you still kneeling in? ”

Liu Laozhu's eldest brother slowly raised his eyes, first saw a pair of broken shoes, the shoes were and sludge, and then heard the surprised sound of the girl behind him, so he quickly raised his eyes, and then stared at him in shock.

How dare you think about this, my younger brother arrived with the court officials.

Originally, I was still thinking about my brother two days ago, but the return date as promised didn't come, thinking about where this wouldn't go, I didn't expect it to appear in such a way.

"What's going on?" Boss Liu grabbed his younger brother's sleeve and asked repeatedly: "How did you get mixed with the Xinzhen Northern Army and the Sanpin Seniors?" ”

Liu Laozhu looked at the eldest brother's appearance of not daring to be loud and anxious to know, he felt more happy, since he was a child, he had never ascended to heaven like this, and it was too much to just walk behind the team.

He has already begun to look forward to the scene of the county being watched by the whole city, and it is best for his old son and sister-in-law to appear.

Liu Laozhu was proud in his heart, and he bragged indiscriminately: "Isn't this a coincidence, I am familiar with the Zhenbei Army again, have you seen the general of Zhenbei?" They all deliberately left a message not to leave us. ”

Mrs. Xu went over to help Vanilla from Liu Laozhu's side, and glanced at him when she heard this.

Liu Laozhu coughed immediately, but because he finally straightened his waist in front of his eldest brother, he said with some flattery: "Even if I am not familiar with it, the old sister of the Xu family is familiar." ”

Mrs. Xu still didn't buy it, and thought: Why is the vanity so strong, don't let the officials of the family hear it, and say it as if it was the truth. We belong to the oil bottle that was rescued, what to pack.

Mrs. Xu only cared about the other two groups of people with a smile, and the two families were also going to stay at the Liu Family Inn tonight, she meant that they would collect the money when they should collect it, but it was best to find that kind of affordable house.

Not to mention that Liu Laozhu and Xu Tianxin have a good relationship, Xu Tianxin dealt with the wild boar skin, and he was the first to respond. Later, he was smoked and vomited, not to say that grandpa could hold on, but also said that his hands were rough, don't brush your girl's little hands.

So Mrs. Xu ignored him, and when his eldest brother listened to the explanation, the more confused he became, and slowly became disbelievable about him, Liu Laozhu had a killer Tian Xin'er.

"Tian Xin'er, your grandfather said that the official post station can't live, he was set by the county government to receive about fifty people here, he didn't dare to ask which fifty people lived there, you find a soldier in armor to help ask, when to eat, when to live, let's prepare in advance."

"Huh? Oh, okay. ”

"You see." Liu Laozhu pointed at Xu Tianxin's back and smiled.

Liu Laozhu's eldest brother changed his eyes when Xu Tianxinzhen pointed to him and told the soldiers where to rest, and he looked at Mrs. Xu and Xu Youcang, who were taking the lead in unloading the car in the courtyard of the inn, still the same as when they came, unchanged at all. I couldn't help but glance at Xu Tianxin again, who didn't worry about talking to the Zhenbei Army at all.

I reluctantly suppressed the idea of immediately negotiating with the Xu family to order another fifty jars of velvet, and tried my best to settle the guests who stayed first.

And with the settlement, Liu Laozhu's eldest brother thanked the Xu family from the bottom of his heart.

Because he didn't dare to ask, Xu Tianxin would come forward to help ask, and Mrs. Xu also helped Zhang Luo, shouting: "Soldiers, wash first." ”

When he was too busy, Xu Tianxin only took care of himself, washed his little hands and even ran to help serve the dishes, and Mrs. Xu cooked with his sister-in-law's family in the back stove.

Even the other partner of his inn envied Liu Laozhu's eldest brother and said: "You still say that you have never been able to borrow the light of the people in the village, so what is this?" are all working for you when they are in the place. Did you find that even the county gentleman who has always been above the top peeked at the girl surnamed Xu in your hometown? Whose child is that? ”

Who's child, don't mention who the father and mother are, Zuo is just a sad story, and she is also a good girl with a tiger father and no dogs.

Liu Laozhu's eldest brother was warmed by the partner's words, and in previous years, he really didn't dare to think that he would borrow the power of Erdaohe's hometown. This time, I found out that they were really honest to him, and they were much more affectionate than outsiders.

What is called nostalgia, he has experienced it. If everyone in his old family had a good life, he would have a bright face outside.

So he can't borrow in vain.

The Erdaohe people are still crammed into the same room they lived in last time.

In the middle of the night, Mrs. Xu was very tired from cooking a big pot of rice.

Brother Liu Laozhu came over with his partner, and when he found Mrs. Xu, he talked about ordering another fifty jars of velvet.

"Fifty altars?"

In the next words, Brother Liu Laozhu deliberately did not be the main talker, but his accomplice personally talked to Mrs. Xu, so that it seemed formal and not partial.

"Yes, Fifty Altars, isn't this the Northland going to exchange markets? You hear the news, our days are going to get better and better, and it's always right to be more prepared. And the ten altars you left behind have been sent to the opposite station. ”

They guessed that tomorrow morning the officials of the Ministry of Rites would eat it when they drank porridge.

The partner also said:

"I know that it will be difficult for farmers to prepare so many ingredients in advance, regardless of whether they make money later.

Sometimes we don't have the discerning eye to find out what stuff is not making money? No.

The difficulty is that I don't have the capital, I am a farmer boy, and I know too well the difficulties when the first three kicks have not been kicked out.

So I just discussed it privately with Brother Liu, because we are sincere cooperation, and we know that we can't run anyone, so I will take away the order money of twenty jars for you this time. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu just wanted to sigh, although the way back was delayed for a few days, and the living environment was a little worse, but it seemed that she and her granddaughter had met her.

How can there be such a good thing, one after another, I can't believe it.

Being able to get twenty jars of velvet money in advance is eighty taels, which will solve her family's boss problem. She is going to change from having few big sons in her pockets to being thieves and always afraid of stealing and thinking about going home with money.

The partner continued: "However, I still have to be a villain first and then a gentleman, and I have to write a few ugly words first. If there is fish in your ingredients, you must not use dead fish and bad fish, and you can't do it half-dead. The more expensive we are, the more we must pay attention, and we can't afford to offend any of them. ”

Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "That's what you want, it's a must, I don't need you to say that I will ask myself like this." Others dare not sing high-pitched, but the conscience of making food is at ease, and I dare to say that the two owners are second, and no one dares to rank first. My Xu family has always relied on business to be down-to-earth. ”

"That's right, I promise." Liu Laozhu said suddenly. In the past, Mrs. Xu loved to brag in the village, but he forgot all about it.

Brother Liu Laozhu is helpless, no one asks you.

Whether you ask me or not, I guarantee it.

And this time, the two owners of the civil inn were able to give the advance payment so generously, because they finally received the money from the county government.

In the past, the official office arranged for people to live here, and waited with an IOU, and it was not sure when it would be able to give the account, and he would return empty-handed after a trip. There is no way to do business, and Shinong Industry and Commerce bully people like this.

But this time the Zhenbei Army came, and the county government not only did not dare to owe the debt, but also gave the silver ticket first for fear of poor hospitality. Yesterday, as soon as the county Cheng arrived, he summoned Liu Laozhu's eldest brother to talk, and asked him to ensure that the Xinzhen Northern Army ate and drank well, and entertained him with two taels of silver for one person.

After Liu Laozhu's eldest brother and partner left, his sister-in-law Vanilla came in with the quilt again.

"Take it away, the quilt looks fresh, we are very dirty, we haven't washed it properly for a few days."

Mrs. Xu's words are true, it all depends on the lice medicine made by Guan Erbald, so she didn't crawl all over her head, so I think there will be it. When you get home, you have to solve this matter first, otherwise you will be disgusted to death when you open a shop and make food. Like she saw it on the head of another group of Niu Niu, the child was only a few years old, and he had it all on his head. I fed all the mosquitoes and lice with that little bit of nutrition.

The quilt brought by Vanilla is indeed newly made, and she plans to bring it back to her mother-in-law's house for the New Year and pile it on the kang box, so that the son can show the woman when he looks at each other The thick bedding is also a manifestation of the family.

But at the moment, I can't take care of it, and it's important to get a good relationship first.

Vanilla was so enthusiastic that she had to let Xu Tian cover it, "Don't tear it, give it to the child, it's cold at night." ”

Vanilla felt that her blindness had been cured, and she was completely relieved for her second sister-in-law. How could she have guessed that the old sister in front of her could have a leg with her second brother in the village? Look at her second brother's crotch diaper, besides, can she be willing to spend money on women?

……

The next day, it was not until almost noon that Mrs. Xu and her party followed the team again.

Three days later, we arrived in Pingzhou County.

After leaving with the official team, they borrowed everything, and the city tower didn't bother to check their goods.

On this day, there was no scene of Lao Tzu Niang and sister-in-law welcoming him as Liu Laozhu expected.

It is said that four villages along the river and in the surrounding areas of the county were flooded, and more than 1,000 houses were damaged to varying degrees, including the county and farms.

At this time, there were many refugees queuing up outside the county granary, and new refugees were coming one after another when they heard the news.

Mrs. Xu, they also saw many Huo Jiajun who had left earlier.

As for the almsgiving point, Mrs. Xu walked around and took a look, there were roughly hundreds of tents of different sizes, and there were two pots in them to scoop porridge for people.

If you want to say that the strange place is not that in addition to the official, there are many wealthy families who are giving alms, but the women here are not out of the door? How can I see many big girls dressed up brightly and personally scooping porridge for refugees, with friendly smiles on their faces. Dressed up like that, how can it be disobedient to almsgiving, and that's not a serious job.

Mrs. Xu also saw a chance encounter in a restaurant before, and she envied the girl who was dressed well. What's all this for? The wind is blowing, the drizzle is frozen, the mouth is frozen and white, and you have to scoop the porridge yourself.

Mrs. Xu deliberately stayed in the county for half a day to ask about Yuhuanmian, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant: You are finally here. If you don't sell your son, then order another 200 catties, but you must do it as soon as possible.

Until he turned around and went to the Qinglou: "Do you want to set it?" Restocked or not? ”

Mrs. Xu understood why the girls from rich families and official families ran out.

said that the general of Zhenbei was majestic and handsome on the day he entered the city, thinking that he would get blue eyes.

Xu Tianxin is also one of them.

When grandma placed a second order in various parts of the county, she deliberately waited near the county office to wait for General Zhenbei.

Xu Tianxin thought about his appearance on the live broadcast, and he could reward him more.

It's a pity that when she heard the background music: "He's coming, he's coming, he's stepping on the auspicious clouds and coming in." This is my good big brother, he has a house and a car, come, brush some gifts needless to say, thank you big brother......"

When Xu Tianxin turned his head to look over, he saw a group of generals walking into the official office with their backs, and she lowered her head and dragged her pants without recording, really, speechless.

And when Erdaohe and his party left the county, Liu Laozhu's sister-in-law opened the door and was dumbfounded.

Just look at the horses at the door, Jia Lai wore a helmet and took two of his subordinates to find Xu Tianxin.

I heard that Xu Tianxin went to the county government to send him fifteen pieces of soap, Jia Lai smelled the cool breeze very well, and gave it to the general, and the general also made a "hmm" sound when he ran out, this is what the line means. Thinking about this, I should ask to order more.
