Chapter 5 Tuntian
Chen Mu sat for a long time, Bai Yuanjie looked at him without speaking, he looked at Bai Yuanjie without speaking, his four eyes looked at each other and the room was embarrassed, and finally Bai's companion came to invite him, and he realized that Bai Yuanjie was not thirsty when serving tea, but sending off guests.
Walking out of the hundred households, the Bai family's doorman snickered behind his back, and Chen Mu also felt that his face was dull, and walked quickly to his own house. made a big red face in the hundred households, and Chen Mu shook his head and laughed like a hillbilly all the way. Compared with the real Ming people, he is indeed a hillbilly, and he doesn't even know that there are so many categories of birds in Bai Yuanjie's mouth, not to mention other common sense.
This drowsy mind has good and bad memories, and I don't know when it will be normal.
However, Chen Mu also saw a lot from Bai Yuanjie's conversation, in short, Bai Yuanjie was not as close to him as he said in his words, and it was still a relationship between superiors and subordinates. But Bai Yuanjie's two general flags and ten small flags, traveling to Guangzhou Mansion can find him, and he thinks it is because he knows the roots, and he can barely get involved with his cronies.
It wasn't until he walked into the house that Chen Mu, who was leaning behind the door, finally relaxed, and looked around the dimly lit room, but only one day this room made him feel a little kind, which gave him an incomparable sense of security. Even if this room is not as safe and comfortable as the home of the Hereafter, it is safer for him than anywhere else in this world!
The real danger is outside, and the world outside the door is full of horror for Chen Mu. Just half an hour ago, on the martial arts arena a hundred and ten paces away, they had just hanged a man alive!
It didn't take long for the sky to get dark, and the hunger in his stomach made him walk to the rice bowl, but he was reluctant to eat the layer of brown rice at the bottom of the tank, not to mention that he didn't have much appetite, so he simply lay back on the bed. The courtyard was quiet in the guardhouse, only occasionally a few barking dogs and scolding from military households came from far away, but the confusion made it difficult for him to sleep, and he couldn't help but take out the fire sickle and light half of the residual wax according to the memory, and then he closed his eyes with a saber in his cotton clothes, and he thought about it in his mind, and he didn't know how long he fell asleep.
Before dawn the next day, Chen Mu, who had not slept well all night, was woken up by Wei Balang, holding a basin of water and waiting to dress, wash his face and rinse his mouth, push open the door of the house, and there were already voices in the four corners, facing the dawn of the dawn, leading more than 20 old, weak, sick and disabled pregnant people carrying farm tools to the ridge.
Autumn is the busy farming, and not only the six Zhengding under the field, but also the 'Yu Ding' under their household, that is, their families, are all living in battle.
Chen Mu didn't know anything about farm work, and was a little embarrassed to pull Shao Tingda a few steps away, and then asked in a low voice about Tuntian, where did he know that Shao Tingda was careless, and he didn't care why he didn't remember these things, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are a flag officer, you don't have to work in the field." β
"The little eight in the back is yours." After Shao Tingda raised his thumb as he spoke, Wei Balang was dragging a hoe in his hand and carrying a pestle on his shoulders, Ma Za, and said, "Sit and bask in the sun, just go back after being busy in the afternoon...... Brother, did you mention the garrison of the 100 households yesterday? β
If Shao Tingda didn't say it, Chen Muzhen almost forgot about these things, and his head was pasted with the nightmare of last night, so he patted his head and said: "Yes, we are stationed in Qingcheng, and we have time to see the cave." However, Baihu also said yesterday that General Qi won a great victory in Fujian, and it was not possible to find out that the remnants of the Haikou named Wu Ping had fled into the Guangdong capital, and he had to practice some military affairs. Also, in a few days, you and Xiaoba will accompany me and go to Guangzhou Mansion with 100 households. β
Shao Tingda was still a little reluctant to talk about military training in front of him, and when he heard the reckless man behind him, he jumped up quickly, and shouted: "Go to Guangzhou Mansion!" I always hear people talk about how prosperous Guangzhou is, and the shop archway outside the city can't be seen, if you can have some spare money to go to the city to play in the yard...... Come back and call that class of birds and monkeys to envy enough! β
Goolan Courtyard, that is, the brothel of the Qinglou, Chen Mu understood this, and when he saw Shao Tingda like this, he couldn't help but laugh and pat the reckless worm and said: "That's all for the dignitaries and nobles to usher in, who will take care of you, a broken military household, Baba is not in a hurry?" β
"Brother Mu said this, why are you in a hurry? It's fun to watch! Saying that, the rough man who was so cold that he snorted his nose also reached out and rubbed his crotch covered by the cotton jacket, stretched out his arms to reveal his sturdy arms full of black hair, and made this obscene action natural, squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Brother Mu, you and the hundred households must remember to bring me when you go to Guangzhou Mansion!" β
"Don't forget to take me with you, flag officer!"
His brother's unseemly action made Chen Mu laugh, looking back at the back, Shao Tingda's voice was not small, everyone could hear it clearly, his men were eager to try, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law were shy and hid their faces, and some pursed their lips and chuckled, especially his younger siblings, looking at Shao Tingda's back, he turned his head and smiled and spat out, seeing Chen Muwang hurriedly bowed his head, no one was surprised. The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was divided, and the upper-class literati had the right to speak, so the rich lady had to bind her feet to avoid suspicion, but the lower-class people had no taboos.
As for the dusty woman in Goolan Washe, it also made Chen Mu feel separated. In the memory of later generations, whether it was the woman who lost her foot at that time or the woman who is now in the dust, her social status is very low, but when Chen Mu stands in Chen Xiaoqi's position and thinks about it, those beautiful ladies who are sent to the Fengyue Field are really unattainable.
"It's easy to go to Guangzhou Mansion to see the world, but there are not many attachΓ©s given by 100 households, not to mention that it is inevitable to encounter bandits for more than 100 miles on the road, if you want to go with me, you will have to draw out an hour every day to practice knives, guns, bows and guns every day from today onwards, and after five days, you will have to practice for three hours a day, how many of you can stand it?" Chen Mu is also clever, in the past two days, he has been thinking about how to save his life and then thinking about others, now that he has this opportunity, he immediately threw out the idea of training soldiers, and said: "It is difficult to produce results in a few days, and when you come back from Guangzhou Mansion, you must train and prepare for the Japanese Kou, Bai Baihu can tell me the ugly words ahead, who is afraid of fighting and cowardly when the road is in danger, even if he escapes his life and comes back, he will not forgive, in order to see Goolan Washe, no one wants to become an old cripple, right?" β
In later generations, there was a dialect in Sichuan, Shaanxi and various parts of the north, called Erpolezi, which spoke of reckless people, just like Shao Tingda. Bai Yuanjie said that he would make the knife think that it was not empty words, and when he heard that Chen Mu was going to practice, he slapped his chest loudly, and said: "Brother Mu, don't worry, I won't embarrass you, you say that we will train if you say that you will train the soldiers, whoever dares to complain with a shy face, I will press him to the ground and teach the dog!" β
Several military households responded in unison, which surprised Chen Mu with Shao Tingda's prestige among military households. In fact, he didn't know what the significance of going to Guangzhou Mansion was for military households, as a military household who didn't have much freedom of movement, too many people had been confined to Qingyuan City for more than ten miles all their lives, and it was enough for them to show off for a lifetime if they could go out of the country, not to mention Guangzhou Mansion, the premier metropolis south of Wuling, which they couldn't ask for.
As for Shao Tingda, what prestige can he have, he is a military family born and raised in Si, and it is not strange that there are few grains of surplus food at home, but it would be really strange if there was no sword, gun, stick and gun, who would really be afraid of whom?
After finalizing the training of the soldiers, he walked all the way to the field with idle laughter and laughter, the sun was high, and everyone was farming, Chen Mu ran and exercised on the ridges of the field, and sat aside to rest when he was tired. At noon, there was the sound of horses' hooves on the field road, and the Bai family's soldiers rode their horses with long packages.
"Chen Xiaoqi, the bird is here!"
