Dressed as a peasant girl, she pampered the powerful villain
Chapter 161 Neither coquettish nor humble
It's impossible to save food. If you go out today to clear up the chaos, you won't be able to go back if you procrastinate any longer.
Wang Shuyan smiled and shook her head and declined: "No, sister-in-law, my mother has been worried for a day since I came out. I have already brought them. There are many soldiers waiting in the country."
She just follows the rules, dispatches troops from here, and returns them to others, so that she is in compliance with the rules and etiquette. She has never thought about eating in other people's houses.
The second ladies were a little stunned and surprised, so they left now?
Mrs. Qiu also guessed that she would refuse. After all, it was already getting late and it was not suitable to stay. However, she still had to show her enthusiasm: "One meal won't waste much time."
The second lady also smiled and persuaded: "Yes, it's just a meal."
But eating with a group of strangers is not just a meal. Wang Shuyan smiled at her polite refusal and explained to them with a soft eyebrow: "Sister-in-law, I really don't need it. The snow is getting heavier. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to be late. And It's unfilial for me to make my family worried. If I still eat dinner outside, my mother will be sad."
This is the truth. The snow has gradually become thicker. If we go back later, we will not be able to go back.
Ms. Qiu was a steady-tempered person, and she wanted to help her brother-in-law see the girl's character from the perspective of her family, so she looked at the falling snow outside and saw that she kept talking about her family. She felt satisfied in her heart, but nodded helplessly on her face: "Then Well, when the snow stops, you can come over to the house and have tea."
Wang Shuyan nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll bring some seasonal tea for my sisters-in-law when I get back."
The other ladies were very satisfied when they saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, not even trying to curry favor, and that she was a filial daughter.
The second lady covered her mouth and smiled: "Seasonal tea? The name sounds novel, so let's take advantage of Xiaojiu and hope that the snow stops."
Wang Shuyan nodded repeatedly, took off his fox fur and gave it back to the fifth lady.
The fifth lady saw that she was about to take off her fox fur and held it down: "You should wear this fox fur and go back. It's freezing in the sky, so don't get sick."
She felt vaguely reluctant to give up, but she still had to show off her generosity, otherwise she would appear to be too petty as an elder.
Wang Shuyan was certainly cold, but she thought it was too expensive to accept a fox fur coat equivalent to the price of a house when they first met. She smiled and said: "No reward for no merit, fifth sister-in-law's wishes are appreciated by Shuyan." .”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she took off the fifth lady's coat, someone put another fox fur on her, it was Qiu.
Qiu's personal maid happened to be bringing out her fox fur. Seeing this, Qiu slipped into the air and put it on, with a warm smile on her face: "Why is it in vain? You led the troops to put down the chaos and save the people. , and brought back many of the soldiers from Guotonghou, isn’t this a meritorious service?”
He turned to the fifth lady and smiled angrily: "This fox fur is a birthday gift from Lao Wu to you. Why don't you give it away? You'd better wear mine back. I haven't worn this fox fur yet."
Then he said to the astonished Wang Shuyan: "It doesn't matter if you don't eat. If you don't want this fox fur, you will look down on our 'Guotonghou'."
As expected, the Fifth Madam did not insist anymore and smiled at Mrs. Qiu, saying that what they said was true. Naturally, she was reluctant to part with the birthday gift her husband gave her during his lifetime.
In Wang Shuyan's eyes, the five women in front of them were pretty widows. Even if their husbands died tragically on the battlefield, there were still no boys and a half girls. Their great youth was wasted in widowhood.
In the original book, these people all died from random arrows to protect the people at the last moment. Now seeing them standing in front of him, Wang Shuyan's mood was a little subtle, with admiration and regret. Zhang Jiulin and his sisters-in-law were all competing. She is beautiful, but she is willing not to remarry and stay here as a widow, which shows that she is loyal and kind-hearted.
The others also had the attitude of being unable to leave without wearing her fox fur. Wang Shuyan laughed heartily and did not refuse any more. She quickly got on her horse and said, "Sisters-in-law, please go back to the house. Don't get cold." He then raised his hand to Zhang Jiajun and said: "Brothers, you have worked hard today. See you again when we are destined!" Then he and Duan Li rode away.
Zhang Jiajun's sons had never seen such a woman before. In just one day, they became brothers to themselves. They didn't even react when they saw her leaving in a hurry.
Mrs. Qiu looked at the figure walking away and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, neither coquettish nor humble, advancing and retreating appropriately."
The second lady smiled and reminded: "Sister-in-law, it's better to let the brothers come in and have a warm meal first. You can ask them in detail later."
Mrs. Qiu nodded with a smile and asked Butler Fu to arrange for the kitchen to start the stove.
Zhang Jiajun's sons secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They finally remembered them. They were already cold and hungry.
……
The manpower of the county government became more limited due to casualties, and the officers dispatched by Jianliu Shi were not enough because of the heavy casualties. Magistrate Gu came to visit the gates of each houfu while the iron was hot and told them about the difficulties of insufficient manpower. Guotong Hou was the first to express his help. The other princes saw that Guo Tong was waiting for someone to send people out, and they were not willing to be left behind, so they all generously sent people out.
As a result, the number of people Zhao Qian could use increased from less than thirty to nearly a thousand. This made him so happy that he directly used the house of the victim in the county as a resting place for rotation. Every two Changes will be made every hour.
As night fell, Tongzhou County fell into a brief state of grief after the riots, and then began to worry about whether it would be as stable as before tomorrow.
Magistrate Gu stayed in his study after visiting the princes' mansions, not wanting to force himself. Firstly, he was cold, and secondly, he was tired. The changes that had happened that day were enough to keep him in a daze for several days.
"So many government officials and servants were killed, it makes me feel sad just thinking about it." Magistrate Gu told his staff Qi Tong with tears in his eyes.
Qi Tong sighed: "My lord, I express my condolences. Now we should provide compensation to their relatives."
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, relatives of police officers who were killed or injured in the line of duty could receive ten taels of pension money. This had to be reported in a memorial by the county magistrate before the imperial court could allocate funds uniformly.
County Magistrate Gu nodded, then froze: "This is an application to the imperial court. Now that King Rong is rebelling, how can I write an application?"
Qi Tong also thought that if King Rong had already taken control of Kyoto, he didn't know whether this piece of information could be sent up. Sending it up would be equivalent to telling King Rong that the soldiers you brought have been detained by the county government.
Magistrate Gu couldn't help but tremble when he thought that he almost died today, "The news from the official side is still unclear. Let's postpone the casualty pension for a while. We will make other plans when there is confirmed news. "
Qi Tong also felt that it was reasonable, "Then for the pension money, let's temporarily use the county government's treasury money?"
Magistrate Gu looked a little pained. The county government's treasury money was allocated once a year, and it was always allocated at the end of the year. There wasn't much left, but people had died, so even though they were still there, they still had to give some to people. Those who paid the money were either misappropriating it for one thing or another. They gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, let's pay it."
Qi Tong was secretly relieved. Although the county magistrate was usually slow and annoying, he really cared about his subordinates. This was why many people were willing to follow him. Although he was not smart enough, he was loyal enough.
He bowed heavily and said, "Qi Tong is grateful for your sympathy."
