Before the Marquis could speak, everyone became worried and asked together, "Have the barbarians come across the river?"
Ye Shan shook his head and quickly replied: "Not yet, but this time is different from before. There are many people gathered. , there will be conflicts at the dock from time to time."
Everyone looked bad. You must know that half of the country in the south of the Yangtze River relies on the Jinsha River for its final defense.
If the barbarians break through the natural barrier, Jiangnan will definitely not be saved, and Broken Gold Beach is less than a hundred miles away from the dock, so it will definitely be the first to suffer.
The old lady sighed, "What kind of world is this? Our family has gone south twice. We thought we were safe when we got here, but we still need to make more preparations..."
Mr. Hou waved his hand and comforted the old lady, "Don't worry, Auntie." , the barbarians have been entrenched in the grassland since ancient times. They lost their arms on the way south, and now they have to cross the river. They have no advantage, so there is nothing to fear for the time being."
After that, he stood up and said: "Auntie, I Go and do some work."
"Oh, I forgot about business, and I kept you here talking about gossip. Go and do some work!" The old lady slapped her forehead in regret, and chased the Marquis away to deal with business.
During most of the winter, the Marquis lived in Zhuangzi and often came to chat with her. She was so used to it that she always forgot that he was still Tianwu's military lord.
What are you talking about just now? If you are worried about the barbarians going south, doesn't that mean that he is useless as a military prince?
The Marquis didn't pay attention, turned around and went out.
The old lady quickly told the children, "Don't talk nonsense after you go out, you know?"
"Yes, grandma, don't worry." Jiaren quickly took the lead and assured.
Brother Li also nodded, and Brother Cat nodded ignorantly, but he was more focused on the good things his elder brother bought, and didn't pay attention to what everyone said just now.
As for Jiayin, he is smarter than anyone else and doesn't need any instructions at all.
That night, during dinner, the old lady asked the fourth child to call Mr. Liu, his wife and the village elder to have some fun together. After the table was removed, everyone gathered together to chat.
The old lady hugged her granddaughter and peeled fried peanuts for her. While talking about the war, she then suggested: "Over there in the valley, should we resume harvesting grain?"
The village chief nodded quickly, "That's not the case. , I also want to say that our Broken Gold Beach will plant cold melons and cantaloupes on all the riverbanks this year. The fruit trees on the mountains are getting taller and taller, and we can no longer interplant millet. In autumn, there is no hope... This valley While we continue to collect grain, each family will stock up more, and they will feel confident."
Of course, Liu Biaotou and his wife had no objections, and the matter was settled.
The next day, news of the grain harvest was released.
Of course, guests who came to visit these days could not immediately exchange their money for food, but those who made reservations in advance were clearly informed.
There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.
In the valley, the men were soaking in the pool, with cloth towels on their heads. Someone mentioned this while drinking tea, and said, "I heard that the riverside is not very peaceful. Look, the golden beach is starting to close." Food?"
The friend next to him asked: "Why do you say that, collecting food here as tickets, what does it have to do with the war on the riverside?"
The person who spoke earlier had no choice but to explain a few words in a low voice, "Don't even look at it. Whose name does Broken Gold Beach belong to? It is Marquis Xinting! Previously, the Marquis was guarding the defense line of the wharf. If he had not been injured, he would not have retreated. Now Broken Golden Beach has begun to collect food, which means that the riverside The war is getting intense, and I'm starting to get scared."
"Ah, so that's it... What should we do? When will the Marquis return to the dock?" The friend suddenly understood and subconsciously asked, for fear that the defense line would be breached.
The man who spoke said: "Why are you in a hurry? Even the court is not in a hurry! There are too many twists and turns. Can those who got the military power from the Marquis be willing to hand it over again? There is no one person who has the final say in the court..."
"You mean..."
"Don't say it when you see it! We still have to deal with this matter. We ordinary people can just live our lives honestly. Being able to enjoy every day is a blessing. Day, who knows what will happen in the future."
"Yes, if nothing else, the white snow in front of me will melt away soon, and I'll have to wait until next winter to see it again."
"Haha, I'm not afraid of that. The orchards on the mountain will bloom in a few days. It will be a rare and beautiful thing to soak in the hot springs among the fallen flowers."
"Call Brother Wang and Brother Liu then, Bring two jars of good wine, how about we have a poetry party?"
"Then we have to capture this valley!"
Not to mention the high spirits of the two people, even in Kyoto and the court, because of the sudden and fierce attack of the barbarians, they were also It was so noisy.
In the past, the veterans who had proposed cutting military pay and rations were dumbfounded and kept their heads down, pretending to be confused.
However, the young courtiers seized the opportunity and started a quarrel with each other, almost tearing off the old minister's face, without showing any courtesy at all.
Wen Shaoyuan stood in the corner and yawned secretly. At this time, their censor had no room to speak and could only watch the battle.
Yesterday, he moved out of the small rental house and moved directly into the inn. The inn was noisy, so naturally he didn't sleep well.
After the next court, he would have to find a place to stay again no matter what.
The worst case scenario is to ask Fatty Liu to borrow a courtyard to live in. The Liu family has a big business and always has a spare courtyard. I just wonder if my family will go crazy if they find out. I'm afraid the family will feel that the Wen family's reputation has been clear for hundreds of years, and he is the one who doesn't know how to live in it. The filial son is defiled!
Wen Shaoyuan finally made it to the next court, but there was still no result in the quarrel. It will continue tomorrow.
He followed the courtiers out of the palace gate and saw Wen Hai waiting beside a carriage.
"Why are you here? Didn't I let you look at something?" Wen Shaoyuan asked anxiously.
There are many books in his luggage and they are stored in the inn. If they are lost, it will be a big loss.
Before Wen Hai could answer, as soon as the carriage door opened, Jiaren, who was wearing a plain gown, jumped out, "Teacher, my father and I are here to ask you to go do something together."
"Didn't you rush home? Why are you here again? " Are you here? Besides, today is not..." Mr. Wen was surprised and wanted to say something about Wu Cuihua's burning head, but he swallowed it back.
Jiaren understood and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I came here after burning the paper for my mother. Sir, you'd better get in the car and change out of your official uniform. Your luggage is all in the car!" Mr.
Wen nodded and got on the carriage. Wen Hai jumped on the carriage shaft, whipped his riding whip and left.
Wen Hai glanced at each carriage and couldn't help feeling aggrieved for his master.
If no one from the Li family came and he was at the inn, the master would have to walk back to the next court.
Other people's homes were filled with cars and servants, but only his master was so shabby.
If the master never returns to the Wen family, he will support it. The old man has gone too far, and the old man and the old lady are too cruel!
Not to mention Wen Hai's inner murmur, complaining about his master's grievances, he only said that Mr. Wen changed his clothes in the carriage, looked at the book boxes again, and felt relieved, "This is my entire family fortune, since you have hijacked it." They', then I will be at your disposal for most of the day."
Li Laoer and Jiaren both laughed and felt a little relieved.
Mr. Wen can still laugh and joke, so he must not be too sad about his current embarrassing situation.
"As a gentleman says, a horse cannot be chased. That gentleman has listened to us today!"
