Near dusk, the shopkeeper of Qiyun Embroidery Workshop came, saying that Shi Hongluan had gone to the embroidery workshop to explain the situation, and the two sides voluntarily reached a settlement.

Qiyun Embroidery Workshop took the initiative to compensate Shi Hongluan for one hundred taels of silver, and Shi Hongluan asked the shopkeeper to transfer the one hundred taels of silver to Yan Fangxiang, which was counted as the salary of the new Baifu blanket.

At the same time, the shopkeeper contacted several other embroidery workshops as agreed, and deployed a large number of embroidery threads, which could be delivered to Yan Fangxiang early tomorrow morning.

The problem was finally solved, but Yang Qicheng, who originally planned to return to Lin'an County together, said that the main family had something to do temporarily and needed to stay in the capital for a few more days.

The family was anxiously waiting for the line to start, and Yan Fangxiang and others were escorted back to their hometowns by the second son.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Lin'an County, I bumped into Aunt Liu, it turned out that Lan Guifang was wireless and could not start work for two days.

Although Aunt Liu is very smart and lets the weavers and embroiderers go to work and get off work on time as usual, the rumors are still getting more and more fierce, and even rumors that Lan Guifang has gone out of business, and the three owners have run away.

was so anxious that Aunt Liu's mouth was full of foams, but there was nothing she could do, she could only look forward to the stars and the moon and the three owners going home.

Finally, Yan Fangxiang and the thread were brought back, and Lan Guifang was saved.

Aunt Liu was straightforward and fast-talking, and told Yan Fangxiang about the rumors outside.

Yan Fangxiang got out of the carriage, sat on the wheel, and let the convoy circle around the most prosperous streets in Lin'an County, and only after half an hour did it enter the embroidery and weaving workshop.

With such a high-profile line, and brought back more than 20 carriages, rumors such as bankruptcy and running away finally broke down.

Lan Guifang returned to the right track again, and began to work non-stop, only a few days, the summer clothes used by the army were finished, and the embroidery girls rushed to make summer clothes day and night, and finally it could be completed before the quartermaster camp came to pick up the goods.

.

The quartermaster battalion finally arrived in Lin'an County, but the first task was not to purchase military supplies, but to publish the list of the first batch of soldiers killed, return the relics, and distribute the pension money.

The quartermaster battalions were scattered to the villages in groups of two.

Liu Lizheng informed the news the night before, and told the villagers to gather in front of the ancestral hall the next morning and wait for the quartermaster battalion to arrive and read the news.

The hearts of all families were hanging, for fear that the names of their relatives would be read tomorrow.

The entire Liuhe Village seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy mist.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is Yan Dazhu's family.

Hearing that the quartermaster battalion came back to perform errands, Sun Yaru was very happy, because her daughter Yan Fangzhi had said that Li Chen had already sent a message to Captain Zhengding and placed Yan Dazhu and Yan Jiangong in the quartermaster camp as fat errands.

When he comes back this time, Yan Dazhu will definitely not give up this opportunity to "show his face" in front of the whole village! Definitely back!

The more Sun Yaru thought about it, the more excited she became, and her face turned red for no reason.

The next day, each family ran to the door of the ancestral hall early, their hearts were burning, their expressions were sad, and they even waited for the arrival of the quartermaster without combing their heads and washing their faces.

Sun Yaru also came with her son Yan Jianye.

Contrary to the sadness and sloppiness of the villagers, Sun Yaru is obviously carefully dressed.

She wore an orange-red silk skirt with a gilded hairpin on her head and gilded earrings on her ears.

His face was covered with a thick layer of powder, his big red lips were smeared like fire, and his two thick eyebrows were lying on his stomach like two sticking to the bark of a tree.

Walking waist twisted and twisted, as the body swayed, two gilded earrings floated around, a face, smeared white and black, like donkey dung eggs hanging frost.

The happy expression on Sun Yaru's face couldn't be stopped, and among the sad villagers, it was indescribably dazzling.

The villagers cast angry glances, and the women simply scolded her for being mentally ill.

Sun Yaru snorted coldly, wait for a while for Dazhu to come back in the clothes of the poor master, be careful to blind your eyes!

Liu Li was coming over with two messengers, getting closer and closer, and when they saw the people coming clearly, the villagers were stunned, and Sun Yaru was dumbfounded.

The people who came were not Yan Dazhu and Yan Jiangong, but Yan Jianxun and Yan Jianchi.

I haven't seen each other for more than two months, and the two teenagers are completely different from the high-spirited when they set off, and they are obviously much more mature and introverted.

The villagers came around one after another and asked, "Jianxun, don't you have my tiger?" ”

"Jianxun, don't you have my family's root pillar?"

"Jianchi, don't you have my Haizi?"

……

Seeing that Yan Jianxun and Yan Jianchi shook their heads one after another, the villagers looked happy, and asked again: "Which camp did my root pillar go to, and how are you doing?" ”

"Where's my Haizi? Have you lost your fat? ”

……

Yan Jianxun was dizzy when asked.

Sun Yaru used all her strength to push the women away, pointing at Yan Jianxun and Yan Jianchi, her face was very ugly: "Yan Jianxun, Yan Jianchi, why didn't your uncle and your brother Jiangong return to the village?" Is it because you two have robbed them of their seats and can't come back? ”

Yan Jianxun glanced at Sun Yaru silently, and only squeezed out five words from his mouth: "They, they're back." ”

Sun Yaru wanted to ask further, but Yan Jianxun handed her two small burdens, and then took out a bulletin from his arms, discarded the first half of the battle introduction, and directly read the list of the dead, a total of five people were killed in battle, three villagers, plus Yan Dazhu and Yan Jiangong.

Sun Yaru was dumbfounded: "You, you repeat it, who died?" ”

Yan Jianxun read the name again.

Sun Yaru stood up with a "poof", snatched the poster, and stuffed it to Liu Lizheng: "Liu Lizheng, you are literate, help me see, did Yan Jianxun deliberately deceive me?" My family's big pillar and meritorious service are fat in the quartermaster camp, how can they go to the battlefield to fight for their lives? ”

Liu Lizheng took the notice, pointed to the names of Yan Dazhu and Yan Jiangong, and replied to Sun Yaru's four words: "Festival mourning and change." ”

Yan Jianxun explained: "The two of them, they didn't enter the military camp at all, but the pioneer camp, and when they went to the battlefield, they didn't listen to the command of the three soldiers, and ran to the camp without permission...... If it weren't for the three gentlemen to conceal it, there would be no pension money, but it would be treated as a deserter. ”

Sun Yaru collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and after a long while, she remembered to cry and cry, both widowed and childless, her grief, no one could empathize, and no one in the villagers dared or wanted to come forward to comfort.

Yan Jianxun took out two small purses of silver and a small notebook, and asked Yan Jianye to count the pension money and sign it.

Yan Jianye counted half a point before he understood the silver, and his hand trembling as he signed.

The news came too suddenly, Yan Jianye didn't expect that in just two months, he, a big house, would become the pillar of the whole family, in the future, how should he and his mother live?

Yan Sanzhu's family and Zhang Hongying were surrounding Yan Jianxun and Yan Jianchi to ask for warmth, Sun Yaru's eyes were on fire, and she stood up with a "poof" and ran straight to the entrance of the village, muttering as she ran: "Little slut!" You lied to me! You give me back my man! Give back my son! ”

Yan Jianye was so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Liu Li was busy pushing: "Your mother must have gone to Li's house to settle accounts, Li Chen is not a good match, why don't you pull your mother back quickly?" ”

Yan Jianye chased after him.
