The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 140

Now that they heard the order, they quickly put away their spears, but they didn't dare to leave, and they moved indistinctly to surround Wei Desheng and Tang Ershao.

Wei Desheng jumped, stretched out his hand and slapped Xiaowei Wang, the loud voice almost knocked off the snow on the treetops.

"Slave dog, how dare you disobey my master's orders? Are you a general, or am I a general?"

Enduring the pain, Xiaowei Wang walked up to Wei Desheng, and said in a low voice, "Before going out, Lord Hou told his subordinates that if there is anything wrong with the general's actions, they should directly knock the general unconscious and lock him up somewhere. I have to patrol the border before sending the general back to Beijing. General, do you want to be 'permanent' here?"

The last two words, Xiaowei Wang almost uttered by gritting his back molars.He was able to sit on the position of Lieutenant of the Yulin Army because of his family background, his literary talent and military strategy are justified.

How can he feel at ease now that Wei Desheng treats him like a slave, and even gets beaten and scolded?
Wei Desheng was disciplined by his father since he was a child, and it was not when he was hung up to be whipped. His father was very powerful in his heart, and he shuddered subconsciously when he heard these words.After hesitating again and again, he still put on airs and said, "Hmph, isn't it just a plate of greens? I haven't eaten it before, the general? Let's go down the mountain to kill deer and barbecue!"

While talking, he was about to go down the mountain as soon as he waved his hand, but he stopped in front of the villagers who were armed with swords and arrows.

Old Master Feng and Xiaomi looked at each other and waved their hands. The villagers did not put down their swords and arrows, but took two steps back to get out of the way.

Wei Desheng bravely walked over, and obviously quickened his pace...

Lieutenant Wang led the soldiers, but he did it. Seeing that the villagers didn't speak, they were about to leave with their heads down, but Old Master Feng said, "Master Lieutenant, our old Xiongling is remote and poor, and I have treated all distinguished guests poorly. Tomorrow morning, all distinguished guests, please move to Fucheng."

After all, he didn't wait for Captain Wang to speak, and directly yelled at the villagers, "Go back, watch the door of the house, and don't let jackals get in!"

"Yes, Old Master Feng!"

Everyone responded one after another, and finally protected Xiaomi and entered the yard, then turned around and went home.

Leaving Lieutenant Wang and a group of soldiers silent for a long time before going down the mountain, I don't know whether it was because the snow was too thick or their footsteps were too heavy, leaving a line of deep footprints on the mountain road.

In the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Wei Desheng consciously got out of danger, and then he became angry with the young master again, smashed a set of tea bowls angrily, and walked around the room in annoyance.

Seeing Tang Ershao sitting on the chair by the door, not moving, he scolded, "Why don't you talk? Don't you usually play tricks and act like a good boy, one for two? Seeing that the young master is at a disadvantage now, he is secretly happy." what, huh?"

A look of contempt flashed through Tang Ershao's half-drowned eyes, but when he looked up, he had a bitter face, stood up and saluted and made amends, "My lord, don't be angry, our Tang family and the Hou's mansion are of the same branch, my lord has been treated with contempt, how can the villain Can you be happy? There are really some things that need to be pondered, and once you figure it out, it will be easy to deal with these untouchables."

"What's the matter, tell me quickly."

Wei Desheng really pressed the question, but Tang Ershao stepped forward and said with a smile, "My lord, wait a moment, I will go out for a while, and report to my lord when I come back."

After saying this, he opened the door and went out without waiting for Wei Desheng to answer.

In the yard, the soldiers all came out because of the good weather. Seeing Tang Ershao saluting one after another, Tang Ershao waved his hand, smiled and picked up the teapot outside the door and went to the thatched shed.

In the thatched shed, Aunt Liu and the other women were cooking and cooking, and they knew what happened on the mountain just now.A woman hugged the salt pot, grabbed it hard and wanted to throw it into the pot, but turned her head to look at the soldiers standing guard against the north wind, and finally let go and dropped half of it back into the pot.

When Aunt Liu saw it, she said in a low voice, "That's right. In the final analysis, that dog general is not a thing, and he doesn't do these things as soldiers. They also have fathers and mothers, but they just ate this bowl of rice and came out to be treated. This mouth."

The woman put the pot, stirred the stew in the pot with a spoon, and sighed, "No, I thought so too, otherwise, I really want to kill them."

"That's right, we entertained them with good intentions, but they still want to rob us of the way to grow vegetables. It's really shameless."

"Fortunately, it has been snowing heavily for the past two days, and neither shopkeeper Chen nor Xiao Dao has anyone delivering food, otherwise these shameless things will make them even more jealous."

The women were all annoyed, so there was nothing to stop their mouths. After all, they were in charge of the money box at home.How much daily income, how much money is spent, how much money is saved for the son to marry a daughter-in-law, to buy the dowry for the daughter, and even the money for the grandson's exam for the champion in the future is all counted on the house warming.

That's good, the guests who came in excitedly turned out to be rich wolves, who wanted to take away their cornucopia, which was more hated than murder.

Outside the thatched shed, Er Shao Tang listened for a long while, with a cold arc on his mouth, and walked in, smiling gently and politely.

"My aunts, I wonder if there is any hot water. Can I give Xiaosheng a pot? I was studying at home and only knew the severe cold in the north, but I didn't know how hard it is. I got chilblains on my feet all the way. It's really sad."

The women thought he was a scholar when they heard him speak so politely, and they thought he was a scholar, and they subconsciously held a three-point respect in their hearts. Aunt Liu saluted and asked with a smile, "Sir, you have chilblain on your feet, but did you apply ointment? Although that thing is not a serious injury, it is quite uncomfortable to itch."

Tang Ershao blushed a little, returned the salute, and replied vaguely, "It's a little uncomfortable, but I can bear it."

In this way, he looks just like the young scholars that women imagine and see. They are all harmless people who love to read and don't know much about the world.

So, someone said, "I still have ointment at home, why don't I ask the naughty boys to get it back, Mr. wash your feet with hot water, wipe it on, and it will be fine in a few days."

"Why bother my aunt, I endured it and passed. When I went out, my mother prepared it for me. Later... hey, my mother passed away..."

Tang Ershao still had a smile on his face, but his words were a little sad, which made all the women more maternal love.

"Oh, it's just a little bit more. I'm worried that the naughty boys at home won't wipe it off. Sir, wait, I'll call someone to fetch it."

"That's right, don't be polite, sir. Come, sir, sit here, it's close to the firepit, and warm your hands. You can't freeze your hands anymore, and you still need to read and write."

The women swiftly took the benches and greeted Er Shao Tang to sit down. Finally, they brought hot water in ceramic bowls and handed them to them.

Tang Ershao took it with both hands and thanked him with a smile.There was no dislike or dissatisfaction at all because the bench was too short, the hem of the brocade robe was hanging down to the floor, or the pottery bowl was rough.

All the women saw him, and treated him even closer.

On the contrary, Aunt Liu always felt a little doubtful. Just now when the incident happened on the mountain, this person was also present. Although I didn't hear how he did evil, I didn't hear that he opened his mouth to stop him like Captain Wang, so she tried, " This gentleman, like the general inside, is from Kyoto? Are you a military officer?"

Tang Ershao took a sip of hot water, as if he had warmed his stomach, he opened up the conversation box, and said, "Xiaosheng's family is also in Kyoto, his mother passed away early, and his stepmother is the sister of Mrs. Hou's mansion. The stepmother misses the eldest son... Well, let me take care of you."

After careful study of these words, I didn't say anything, but it made all the women automatically make up a plot of a stepmother treating the eldest son harshly and driving him out of the house in winter.He also looked bitter in his heart, but still smiled on his face, which made the women feel even more distressed.

"Oh, this is...really, so ruthless."

"That's right, it's not my own, so I don't feel bad about it."

Even Aunt Liu was saddened to hear that the gate of the mansion looks rich and honored, but in fact there are many things inside, it is not as good as ordinary people's homes, at least the children are cared by parents and fathers.

Tang Ershao saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and felt that the groundwork was almost the same, so he said, "Aunts, the prefecture not far from us is called Bei'an? This reminds me of something. There used to be a steward in my family named Chen Xin. We get along very well on weekdays, and I vaguely remember that he said that his hometown is in Bei'anzhou. When he came back from Kyoto, I heard him say that he misses his parents. I thought that if the place is good, I will look for opportunities to visit Chen's family. "

"Oh, sir, actually recognizes Chen Guanshi? This is really flooding the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family anymore."

"No, if I knew it was a family, I should have let you live in Shengfuju last night, so as not to be angry with that dog general."

"That's right, sir, I don't know, Shengfuju is Boss Lu's yard, and Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law Chen is Guanshi Chen's biological sister. We are related by marriage to the Chen family!"

Tang Ershao put down the pottery bowl in his hand, looking very pleasantly surprised, "I just asked casually, how could I know it was really my family."

"If you can stay here for two more days, you don't need to go to Chen's house to see shopkeeper Chen. This old man will come every few days!"

"That's right, Mrs. Lu has gone to the south now, and Shopkeeper Chen treats Xiaomi as his own daughter, so I will come here if I don't see her for a few days."

Tang Ershao was delighted to hear what everyone was talking about, and interjected at the right time, "When I went out, I went to Xiyangyang to eat hot pot. Brother Chen's business is doing really well. Not to mention the novel way of eating hot pot, The winter greens are the only one. I heard that the crown prince will send people to the small village where the vegetables grow to buy green vegetables to honor the emperor."

"Is that so? The emperor always eats the vegetables grown by our Xiaozhuang?"

"What does Prince Zhang look like? How does the prince know that Xiaozhuang grows vegetables?"

"This is really great news. You must tell Old Master Feng tonight!"

The women were all overjoyed, the Northland was barren, and it was always heard that anything from the south of the Yangtze River was sent to the palace as a tribute, and they never had a share in the Northland.Now the villagers went to the capital to grow vegetables, and they delivered them to the emperor's lips. This is an honor that makes the whole Old Xiongling jubilant.

The news spread that if the price of green vegetables was not doubled, at least it would make the buyers proud. They were treated like emperors.No, it should be said to be better than the emperor.

The emperor had just eaten it, but they had enjoyed it last winter.
