Chapter 21 Wangjiazhuang

An unexpected heavy rain left Yun Xiao and his party in Wangjiazhuang, the owner of the village with white hair and beard like a father-in-law of the land, and was half frightened to death when he saw a group of fierce guards. I thought it was a large copycat to rob it.

Yun Xiao, who was helpless, had to step forward to appease, and his mother's bright marquis's honor guard was placed there. This old guy actually thought he was a bandit, and his eyes were so bad. If you think about it, you can't blame this old guy, this guy probably has seen the biggest official that is the Xingyang County Commander. If you count up, I'm afraid I've never seen a cadre of the Marquis's level in my life.

"Don't be afraid, old man, we're just passing by. I was going to Xingyang for the night, but the rain was delayed. Rest assured, we are soldiers of the imperial court. Stay overnight and go. ”

Yun Xiao's words reassured the old man a lot, and he instructed each family to entertain the soldiers. If they couldn't stay, they waited for the rain to stop and set up their tents, anyway, they had been camping in the mountains for a few days. Don't care about sleeping in a tent for another night.

The goddess and Ellis got out of the carriage and entered the cottage with an umbrella with the help of the maid. Yan Xian immediately found the feeling of being in his hometown, and now the Yun family can't find such a cottage. The blue brick house of Yishui made Yan Xian miss the old days a little, but he didn't expect to get his wish today.

The people were nervously cleaning the room, and the toilet water was sprinkled inside without money. I'm afraid that some insects and ants will bite Madame, or the young masters and young ladies.

You can't make a fire to cook when it rains, but fortunately, the Yun family has canned food. Yun Xiao pulled the owner of the village to cook home, and after a while, the folding table was full of all kinds of canned food. After a jar of Yunjia steamed wine was unsealed, the bursts of wine fragrance emitted made the old owner twitch his nose.

After talking, Yun Xiao learned. The owner's surname is Wang. It is not surprising that the entire Wangjiazhuang is basically composed of people with the surname Wang. There are often villages with surnames as units in Shandong, usually a family of more than a dozen people who move here, and feel that the land is fertile and stay. The family intermarried with neighboring villages, and after many generations, most of them formed a village of hundreds of people.

The owner of the Wang Zhuang is sixty-three this year, but Yun Xiao looks like this old guy is almost eighty. The poor life destroys people's bodies, and the old lady in Changle Palace is almost eighty years old, and she still looks like she is in her sixties. According to the average age of the big man, the blind old lady was already running to the fairy.

Yun Xiao is like a senior cadre in the countryside, but in fact he is also a senior cadre. By the standards of the Hereafter. The general of the town army is also the commander of a large military region.

"Uncle, the rain is good today. The harvest in the field is enough to make ends meet. With a warm smile on his face, Yun Xiao asked the owner of the Wang Zhuang who was snoring poorly. It is estimated that this old guy has lived for more than sixty years and has never eaten canned beef.

"Farmer, there is always not enough food to eat. The rain has been good this year. I heard that Guanzhong was hit by a drought. A few years ago, we were also hit by a drought here. Chidi Qianli. More people are dying of hunger. None of the bark in the vicinity was complete.

Hey, it was a tough year. If it weren't for the proximity to Mangdang Mountain, you could go into the mountains to pick some mushrooms and hunt some game. It is not known how many people will die. Xingyang City is miserable, and there are many things about selling children and daughters. Just to eat in one bite, the flesh and bones are sold. ”

The old farmer stopped his chopsticks and wiped the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes while telling Yun Xiao about the misery of the disaster year.

Yun Xiao silently put down the chopsticks, and everyone in the village watched the sky to eat. Now Yun Xiao understood why people were so full of awe during the ritual. From Liu Qi to the young Liu Xiaozhu, a year's ration grew in the ground. If God really gives you a face, there is no harvest in a year, it is a big accident that destroys the family and the family.

A sense of powerlessness hit my heart, and there was no way for Yun Xiao to solve the stomach problems of so many ordinary people. The people live on food, and they come from the afterlife of great material abundance. Yun Xiao lacks an intuitive understanding of hunger, and how many times in the history books say that cannibalism is actually true.

A handsome little girl walked in with a pot of porridge, and a swarthy and shiny whip hung behind her at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Wearing linen clothes on his body, undyed but shabby clothes could not resist the vitality of youth.

When the little girl saw Yun Xiao looking at her, she blushed with shame. The roots of his ears were red like autumn apples, and he hurriedly put the porridge bowl on the table and retreated.

"Who is this?"

"This is a little girl, named Xiu'er. It's fifteen years old this year, and it has been told to the son of the old Zhang family in the neighboring village. Marriage in the coming year. ”

The old farmer seems to be very afraid of Yun Xiao's idea of beating his daughter, and his daughter is a well-known beauty in ten miles and eight towns. The old farmer was like a ram, worried that his lamb would be taken by the big bad wolf.

Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and now he said that if his heart was stopped, it would be a joke. But she can't be half interested in such a village girl, to paraphrase Zhang Guoli, she is a fairy, you have to endure it. The three wives have made themselves unbearable, and Yun Xiao is now very envious of the Ximen officials. He was curious about how he managed to take care of so many women.

There was a conversation with the old farmer, and suddenly there was a commotion outside. At this time, I have already listened, and there is still a trace of residual glow hanging in the sky. The sun may have set, but the sky is still bright.

There were no windows inside the adobe house, and Yun Xiao couldn't see the scene outside. He instructed the goshawk beside him, "Go out and see what's going on." ”

"No"

Before the goshawk could move, there was already a noise outside.

"My young master is the brother-in-law of the Marquis of Lintong, so it doesn't matter who your guards are. Does the Marquis of Lintong know? The famous general of the Han Dynasty, the general of the town army ordered by His Majesty. Acquaintances get out of the way as soon as possible, don't wait for my young master to return to the Hou Ye and pick up your skin. ”

He spoke in a standard male duck voice, with a Shandong accent. Sounds like Song Shixiong.

Yun Xiao's brows furrowed, and the goshawk next to him was also stunned. Yun Xiao has a lot of brothers-in-law, so it's no wonder that there are more wives after all. The brothers-in-law of the Yan family usually take them to Tsinghua University, and their biggest hobby after class every day is to go home to farm. It's a low-key mess, if you don't say it, others will definitely not know that they are Tsinghua professors who teach the dragon and the phoenix.

I haven't heard that the Yan family still has relatives in Shandong, and Ellis is even more impossible. To be her brother, the hardware requirements are relatively high. Blonde and blue-eyed are only the entry standard, and there are not many people who look like this in the big man.

And Nangong's family is even more impossible, and the one who can climb up to her brother is at least a prince. More than a dozen half-brothers, and even the youngest fourteenth son, Liu Shun, was named the king of Changshan. These guys usually raise their own names when they come out, and it is impossible to raise the name of Yun Xiao at all. After all, the prince is still tougher than the marquis. Who is pretending to be his brother-in-law here?

Yun Xiao left the seat and walked out with the goshawk supporting the old owner.

More than a dozen men in crooked hats stood in the doorway, arguing with the guards. They were followed by some people, carrying some cages containing satin rice noodles. There's even a guy who chases a big fat pig.

"What's going on?" Yun Xiao stopped the iron guard and asked.

"Which green onion are you, don't offend my young master. Get out of the way, this steward is here to propose. ”

A knife-faced man led by him saw that Yun Xiao was a man who could call the shots, and actually shouted at Yun Xiao. This man was born with a face that Yun Xiao hated when he looked at it, and the most disgusting thing was that he had a black mole on the side of his nose. There are also a few hairs on the top of the black mole, which looks like the villain in later movies. There is absolutely no need to wear makeup to play roles like Huang Shiren, and it is so bad that it looks like that.

"Oh, propose?" Yun Xiao glanced back at Xiu'er who was lying in the crack of the door, and guessed a rough idea in his heart.

"Yes, my young master's favorite Xiu'er girl. I want to be accepted as a concubine, and today I am ordered to send the bride price. Then he took Miss Xiu'er back, and the cave room was ready to wait for Miss Xiu'er to enter the cave room. ”

This hateful-looking steward spoke in a long way, and he didn't look like he didn't take Yun Xiao seriously at all. Seeing Yun Xiao's face turn cold, the goshawk whip in his hand rushed out like a poisonous dragon. A whip gave the steward a full face.

Thank you for tipping and voting for monthly tickets. The Dragon King will present you with even more wonderful Hanxiong. (To be continued......)
