(3) After returning to the division, the meritorious deeds were rewarded, among which the chief village uncle Ren Tianmin and Yang Xiong were the most prominent, and everyone awarded Yang Xiong Tongzhou General, assisted Yuan Ren to continue to sit in Tongzhou, and appointed Tianmin Guangling General, sat in Guangling, and obeyed the orders of the Yangzhou General's Mansion.

Since Dajin took the initiative to withdraw its troops and make peace, a little red and Yinggui naturally promised it, and the haze in the hearts of Renjiabao and Xuzhou soldiers suddenly dissipated. Receiving a little red flying pigeon book, the great monk Lu Qian rushed from Yangzhou to Renjiabao right village to explain the matter to the old village owner and the county lord, and took a fast horse overnight to Tongzhou City to see the winter snow.

Only at this time did the county lord dare to inform his parents of Ren Tianqi's death in private. When the old lady heard the news, she fell to the ground in shock, and all the girls hurriedly rushed forward to help her to the back of the house, while the old village owner sat there in a daze for a long time. The county lord was so frightened that he was helpless when he saw that the old man was silent, and he didn't know what to do when he stood on the side, but he was in tears and sad alone.

Or the old village owner is old and calm. The old owner stabilized his mood, sighed, tears hung in the corners of his eyes, and said: "Good boy, in this case, we don't need to be sad, this is also Tianqi's destiny, or wait until everything is over and then announce it to the public." Hey, I said child, if there is no one sitting in Yangzhou City to look at this eventful autumn now, Daddy, I always feel that my heart is not solid enough! Daddy, I have also been a small official for a few years, our family is also an official family, Daddy, I still understand the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier, what we force is not so important, but Xuzhou Bing's huge country is really hard-won, if we don't fight for it, we will give it to others, how will we see Tianqi when we get over there in the future!"

The old owner paused. said: "Good boy, you haven't been in our house for a long time, but you have suffered a lot of grievances. Daddy, I and your mother are all in our eyes, but now this Tianqi person is not here. Now, in this village, at home, and in this Yangzhou City, there are still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with; in the days when you are not at home, although it is thanks to Dongxue and Xia He and a few girls who work hard, but how can you say that after all, you are also the head of the family in this family, and you can't leave it alone!"

The county lord raised his head and smiled sadly, and said: "Thank you for my father and mother's kindness to me, when Brother Qi was alive, I didn't ask about the big things in Yangzhou City." Besides, the eldest brother is busy with military affairs in Nanling, and it is rare to have the opportunity to come back to take care of the second elder on weekdays, if the child moves to Yangzhou City again, who can bear the burden of taking care of the second elder? How can I meet Brother Deqi when the child is not at home? Since the child is not at home, there is winter snow inside and outside the house, and they are already familiar with it, and now according to the child's meaning, we don't have to change people: they are outside the home, and I will stay in the village to take care of the second elder!" The county lord sobbed.

The old village owner sighed again, slapped his thigh, and smiled at the county lord. Who would have thought that this big housekeeper would eat inside and out, if it weren't for the loss of Murong Hongyun's master and servant and the head village Tianmin to help here, I'm afraid our village would not be our grandfather's for a long time! Daddy, I'm old." It's useless, kid, you have to spend some effort to tidy it up! And this Zhujiazhuang, are we going a little too far? How to arrange this Zhujiazhuang should also be carefully considered!"

The county lord wiped away a handful of tears. Nodding his head, he said, "Daddy is worried." Now that our family has suffered such a big change, it is also human nature that people's hearts do not gather. Daddy and mother don't need to be sad! Let's just take this opportunity to disband some people who have deviated from morality, and recruit more old people who have lived and died with our family, so that they can be useful when necessary in the future! As for this Zhujiazhuang, since the uncle and his son also need to buy family property, it is better to repair Zhujiazhuang and give it to the uncle and his son, so that we can have three villages in Renjiabao to rely on each other, and it can be regarded as prepared! In addition, let's select 3,000 loyal and brave people from the soldiers and braves brought to us as a reserve for self-protection, and when necessary, we can also ensure that we can go to Beijing safely!"

The old village owner looked up at the county lord in surprise, he didn't think that the plain and amiable, tolerant and generous, filial and humble child also has such a long-term insight, really women don't let the eyebrows ah; the old village owner even said a few good words, he smiled and said: "Child, you can have such a plan, Daddy and I are very pleased! Daddy, I and your mother are really old, useless, and I can't share anything for you, and the burden of this family fort will be all on your shoulders in the future!" You can watch and handle the big and small things in this village, my old man no longer has the heart to take care of it!"

The county lord bowed and sent him off.

The old village owner rubbed his head again, looked directly at the county lord and said: "I said child, father, I feel very worthy of the favor of the old prince in this life! If he has the opportunity one day, you will say sorry to the old prince on behalf of the father! Also, you have to tolerate the child of Dongxue, it is really not easy for the child of Dongxue to be in our family!"

The county lord smiled slightly and said, "Daddy understands what the child means!"

The old village owner shook his head and left, his heart was actually extremely sad and painful, what could be compared to the ruthless blow of a middle-aged lost son to an old man? The reason why the old village owner didn't ask about the business was also because his son was ashamed of the county lord, since his son was no longer there, there was no way to talk about the love and hatred between those women, and he couldn't ask the old man, even if the county lord had a great grudge, who could she tell now? The county lord has no relatives here, and such a noble status, he stays in Renjiabao for a day, even if he wants to return to the old prince of Shangjing one day, he will definitely not stop him, so in the days when the county lord stays in this Guangling, he will hand over the family affairs to him to take care of it wantonly! The old village owner is worried that the county lord will not let go of Dongxue and Xia He when he comes back this time, which can be seen from her bloody pacification of Zhujiazhuang, this child's inner firmness, stubbornness and ruthlessness;

Back in his yard, Chun Tao said: "Miss, we really don't go to Yangzhou, our dowries are all in Yangzhou!"

The county lord said lightly: "Money and wealth are all things outside the body, so why bother too much! Besides, we want to move to Yangzhou before we get hot when we return to Renjiabao, hmph, what will people think! Let's take a good look at the village and wait for the news!"

The county lord raised his head again and asked, "Oh, by the way, why didn't you come back and didn't see the master and servant of the Murong family?"

Chun Tao said: "I heard from the family that the master and servant of the Murong family have changed their way to Longqiu Village when they see that everything has been calmed!"

The county lord sighed and said, "Our Renjiabao owes him a favor to Gusu Murong, and I don't know when I can repay it!"

Chun Tao also sighed, poured a glass of water for the county lord, and some girls put a few snacks.

The county lord took a sip of water, raised his head and said: "Although it is inconvenient for us to stay at home and go out, we should not know anything outside, waiting for others to tell us! You go and call Ren Zhi to come in and ask him to send a powerful and loyal person to Laoyingkou, to Yangzhou City, to Tongzhou City, and Xuzhou Frontline; you can go and tell Dafan to pass on the news, please borrow the carrier pigeon post station of the beggar gang!"

Chun Tao nodded and left.

The county lord also instructed Qiu Yue to prepare to go to the general village to meet Cao's gifts. (To be continued......)
