Wen Mian, General Shang and General Liang led the people away, they had to rush to Huya Pass as soon as possible, this time they took away all the cavalry, and the rest were handed over to other generals to bring over.

It inevitably caused panic, no news spread out, and the people in the city were still happily preparing for the New Year, even the adults in the court were not so nervous, after all, in their minds, Wen Mian personally led the troops, what else could be the problem?

The result is nothing more than adding another stroke to his already unstable credit book.

Only Lord Lei of the Ministry of War and Lord Qin of the Ministry of Household were busy day and night, and the army wanted to eat, drink, and wear, and none of them dared to leave behind or give less.

Wen Mianmian had nightmares for two days in a row, woke up in the middle of the night, stared at the bed curtain in a daze after waking up, Hua Jingyun beside him breathed slowly and evenly, he was too tired during the day, and he always slept soundly at night.

The next day, when she learned that the General's Mansion next door was buying grain and charcoal, as well as chickens and sheep, Wen Mianmian walked over curiously, and Mrs. Wen said that she was going out of the city once.

"I'll go to see the families of those under your father, the men in the family have followed your father, leaving behind some old and weak women and children, and the days of the New Year are bleak."

Wen Mianmian was curious, "It's different from Swallow Lane?" ”

"Those in Swallow Lane are waiting for relief, and those in the suburbs are all people with hands and feet, and the men in the family are your father's guards."

Mrs. Wen glanced at Wen Mianmian, "Why don't you go with me to have a look?" ”

Wen Mianmian nodded, asked her if she was ready, and said that she would go back and prepare, and she would come in a while.

Knowing that she was going out of the city, Mama Fang and Nian Xia hurriedly went to prepare, Wen Mianmian said, "It's not appropriate to go to see people empty-handed during the New Year, there must be old people and children, hurry up and cut some red paper and wrap some red envelopes, and let people buy more snacks to bring." ”

Soon Wen Mianmian and Mrs. Wen went out together, and the carriage slowly went out of the city, and stopped after walking two miles east after leaving the city gate.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, Wen Mianmian can't believe that there is such a place outside the capital, it looks like a small town, the houses are neatly arranged, every house has a yard, and the bamboo poles inside are still drying clothes, the babies are running in groups, laughing, you can hear the sound of hens clucking when you get closer, and there are big yellow dogs basking in the sun under the wall.

Seeing a carriage coming, a kid opened his throat and shouted, "Mother, someone is here in Tunzi." ”

This is a military tun, living in the Wen family's military family, as soon as the voice fell, people from every household came out, all of them were women, and they greeted Mrs. Wen warmly, "Why are you here on this cold day." ”

Seeing that the people behind them began to move grain out, these women said, "Madam, why did you bring grain again, every family has grain in stock, and there is also some silver, and life goes on." ”

Mrs. Wen smiled: "Isn't it going to be the New Year, thinking that every family is more comfortable." ”

His gaze swept over everyone, "Are you all right?" ”

The women all nodded, "It's good." ”

They all knew that in a few months one of them would become widows, but that was their fate.

Mrs. Wen introduced Wen Mianmian to them, and everyone hurried to see the salute, and their hearts were a little empty, they all knew about Swallow Lane, and this princess was a little fierce in their hearts.

Wen Mianmian sighed faintly, these people are afraid of her, she is actually very easy to get along with, helpless.

Mrs. Wen walked slowly in the tunzi, concerned about the situation of each family, there were seven or eight hundred families living in this tunzi, and everyone knew each other, and everyone knew who had happy events and who had difficulties.

Seeing that most of the curious people in the tunzi were girls or some boys, Wen Mianmian asked, "Did the children in the tunzi also follow to the battlefield?" ”

The woman who replied was surnamed Sun, and her husband's surname was Li, and she was the person with the highest official position in the tunzi, and this Sun was naturally the most powerful person among the women. ”

"They're all gone..."

Wen Mianmian's heart tightened, her heart ached, and her nose was sour, "It's only fourteen." ”

Sun said, "We are military households, and even if the age of fourteen is enough, these boys have been taken by their father and uncle, and there is a great possibility that they will come back." ”

Wen Mianmian took a deep breath, "What do you do on weekdays?" ”

"Raising chickens and growing vegetables, pulp washing, sewing and mending, sometimes the city needs helpers, we also go to help, to earn some needlework money."

Sun didn't say that their life was difficult, and a person in the family who pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers had a military salary, and he relied on that military salary to support the family.

But the men are all disciplines, and these things fall to them, the women.

But for them, as long as the men are alive, they still feel that this is a good life.

After walking for a while, Wen Mianmian asked again, "What is the girl in the tunzi doing?" ”

"They are all helping with housework and embroidery."

"Why don't you go to the training hall in the city?"

The women around sighed, "The princess doesn't know, it's too far, although it is only three miles from the city and back to Tunzi, there is not even a house in these three miles, and there is grass on both sides, and the girls are afraid." ”

"There have been people going before, but once I almost had an accident, so I didn't dare to go???.."

"If you really want to be a villain, it doesn't matter if you are ten girls or eight girls together, a group of gangsters will shoot together, and it will be very easy to succeed."

Wen Mianmian sighed silently, and after walking a long circle, the group returned to Sun's courtyard to rest, Wen Mianmian also knew about this place, the women and girls here actually still have a livelihood, they will go to the city together to pick up some embroidery work and come back to do it, just do it in the tunzi, and then these women will deliver the goods, and they can also earn some needlework money.

There is also a school in this tunzi, and it is an old Xiucai who teaches the dolls to read and write, but the old Xiucai is not in good health, and he has been sick recently, so he rested.

Wen Mianmian's habit, if she doesn't know, forget it, if she knows or sees it, she wants to take care of things.

"Aunt Sun, the other aunts here can make clothes, right?"

The princess laughed. Sun had a smile on his face, "There is no woman in every family here who doesn't know how to make clothes." ”

Wen Mianmian said: "You should know Tianhai Xinxing, now Tianhai Xinxing is making clothes, entrusted to a garment workshop in the city to do it, but there are more wants, and it is more urgent, that garment shop is looking for people who can make clothes, if you are interested, I will let people go and tell them, let them make a batch for you." ”
