Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Unsteady standing

Now that I have arrived in Changping Village, I have long heard that this is where the higher authority is. Originally, the two brothers were already mentally prepared to be called and shouted along the way, but they did not expect the relatives and elders here. They are so friendly and friendly.

"That can't be done. We are the servants bought by Young Master Dazhi with money, and we are serving the master. How dare we call him brothers and sisters." The old horse said repeatedly, and bent down, just like Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming's words will break them.

Yang Huazhong directly pulled up the old horse, and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Ma, don't be like this, our old Yang family and Lao Luo's family don't like that kind of thing, not to mention, my grandson is in Yangzhou, and it will last forever." I have to trouble you and the pony to take care of it."

Xiao Ma was also flattered from the side, "You two, don't say that, the young man with great ambition is a good man, he is promising, and it is our good fortune to be able to serve young master Dazhi."

Yang Huazhong nodded, "No matter what, we are our own people, so you don't need to be polite. Well, you all go back to the carriage and rest. I'll smoke a few cigarettes under the city gate over there."

The carriage was empty, and Yang Huamei did not come with her.

It wasn't that Yang Huamei changed her mind temporarily, but that after arriving at Dabai's shop in the town, Yang Huamei suddenly vomited blood and passed out.

The Yihechun medical clinic was closed, and Yang Huazhong was about to knock on the door of the shopkeeper of Yihechun to invite him to come to Baimeizhai to see Yang Huamei, but Yang Huaming pinched Yang Huamei's Renzhong acupuncture point, and Hongmei fed him half a bowl of brown sugar Under the water, Yang Huamei finally regained her breath.

She fainted because she was in a hurry, and her physical condition no longer allowed her to go to the county with the car.

But Yang Huamei was still clamoring to catch Xiao Hei herself, but as soon as she stood up her eyes turned black, let alone going to the county town, she couldn't even stand firmly.

In the end, under Yang Huazhong's insistence, Yang Huamei was forced to stay in the shop. Yang Huazhong also asked Dabai to stay and take care of Yang Huamei, and told them to return to the village early tomorrow when dawn dawned. The baby was temporarily placed with the Sun family. no.

So this time, Lao Ma and Xiao Ma accompanied Yang Huazhong and Yang Huaming to the county seat.

"You go to smoke, I'll go to the city gate to see if I can talk to the little soldiers inside." The old horse suddenly said to Yang Huazhong.

Yang Huazhong was taken aback, that's right, there is no joint that money can't get through.

"Come on, take mine!"

Yang Huazhong directly took out two taels of silver and stuffed it into Lao Ma's hands. Since it was a relationship, how could Lao Ma spend money!
The old horse hesitated for a while, but still took the money handed over by Yang Huazhong and went to the city gate.

Yang Huazhong didn't bother to smoke anymore, he stood beside the carriage and watched from a distance.

Yang Huaming and Xiao Ma didn't go into the carriage to hide from the warmth, they also stood on both sides of the carriage, watching the old horse's movements.

In the night, I saw the old horse coming outside the city gate. The city gate is four or five meters high. Rows of fist-sized rivets are nailed on the thick bronze gate. The rivets are rusty, and the city gate looks heavy and full. A sense of vicissitudes.

After all, Qing'an County is one of the most important cities in the south on the territory of Daqi, and the Mianniu Mountain, which stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, is a natural barrier to isolate the barbarians in the south.

Throughout the ages, this place has been a battleground for military strategists during the change of dynasties. Therefore, as a county under the jurisdiction of Qing'an County, the city defense layout of Wanghai County must also be particular.

As for the city gate, the city wall, and the checkpoints on the city wall, they are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The old horse came to the city gate and patted the iron ring held in the mouth of the iron lion head on the gate.

There was a scolding sound from behind the door. I don't know what the old horse said. The small door on the side of the gate opened, and a soldier in uniform came out.

The old horse moved to the side of the small gate, hunched over slightly to negotiate with the gatekeeper, and made a gesture of stuffing money.

"The little soldier took the money, haha, it's true that money can turn ghosts around!"

Yang Huaming saw with his own eyes that the soldier accepted the money handed over by the old horse, and even leaned over to take a long look at the carriage.

Then he didn't know what to say to the old horse, the old horse nodded repeatedly, and watched the little soldier retract into the city gate, and the gate closed again.

Seeing the little soldier's actions, Yang Huazhong and Xiao Ma secretly agreed with Yang Huaming's words.

Especially when he saw the old horse under the city gate taking advantage of the closing of the side door, he quietly turned around and gestured to the three people on the side of the carriage.

Xiao Ma immediately interpreted: "He is telling us not to be impatient."

Yang Huaming nodded, "A small soldier definitely can't make the decision. He must go back and ask their boss for instructions."

Two taels of silver, even if there are four or five soldiers on duty, each of them can share four or five hundred Wen.

The four to five hundred coins in this Wanghai County are probably worth [-]% of their monthly bills.

Soon, the side door opened a gap, and the old horse rushed over.

The little soldier poked his head out from the crack of the door. He didn't know what to say to the old horse, then retracted his head, and closed the door again with a bang.

The old horse slapped the door a few times, and there was a shout from outside the door.

The old horse was not reconciled, and wanted to shoot again, so Yang Huazhong hurried over and dragged the old horse back to the carriage.

A windproof lantern was hung outside the carriage, and the old horse's expression was very ugly.

Shame, anger, and shame towards Yang Huazhong.

He asked Xiao Ma, "Have you brought any money with you?"

The pony turned his pocket upside down and escaped with a string of copper coins.

The old horse was even more ashamed, and took the hanging copper coin and handed it to Yang Huazhong, "I will make up the rest of the money when I return to the village."

Yang Huazhong and others understood that the gate guards not only did not let them go, but also blackmailed the two taels of silver.

Xiao Ma immediately rolled up his sleeves to go forward to argue, but was stopped by Yang Huaming.

"Brother Xiao Ma, a good guy doesn't suffer from immediate losses. Even if you can fight, you can't stand the crowd and there are guys." Yang Huaming said.

The people don't fight with the officials. At this moment, in the eyes of the city guards who don't understand the truth, aren't they just ordinary rural people!

Yang Huazhong and Lao Ma also had the same idea.

"If the people don't fight with the officials, it's only two taels of silver. Don't be impulsive, just wait, the door will open sooner or later!" Yang Huazhong said again.

After appeasing everyone, Yang Huazhong squatted aside and smoked dry cigarettes. The north wind was blowing in his face, and the dripping water turned into ice.

About half a pack of cigarettes later, Yang Huaming poked his head out of the carriage to look for Yang Huazhong.

"Third brother, come in quickly to escape the wind, the inside of the carriage is freezing to death, and the outside is even more tormented, come up quickly!"

Yang Huazhong stood up and found that his legs were numb from the cold.

Seeing that Yang Huazhong was walking in a strange posture, Yang Huaming quickly jumped out of the carriage to support him.
