It was already the wax moon, and the north wind was howling, blowing up the unwashed snow on the ground, and fluttering the trees and pedestrians recklessly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jia Kui wrapped a cotton robe given to him by Di Qing, and crossed his hands to his brother and sister-in-law: "Although I have changed to Ma Junsi, I am still in Tokyo City, and I can take care of it from time to time." It's just that I can't take care of the family from time to time in the future, and my brother and sister-in-law take care! ”

His elder brother Wu Han and Jia Kui have neither father nor mother, but Jia Kui remarried to his family with his mother when he was young, and he is older, and often takes care of the helpless Jia Kui, which is a deep friendship. The younger brother was transferred to Ma Junsi with the blessing of a friend, maybe he will have a great future in the future, and he is happy for him.

Saying goodbye, Jia Kui saluted and wanted to leave, walked two steps and turned around, and said to his brother who saw him off: "After I go to Ma Junsi, my brother will promise me that I will not gamble again in the future!" My sister-in-law gave birth for less than a year, and my nephew is still young, so the family can't afford any toss. As long as my brother quits gambling, he will be a good family in the future! ”

Wu Han patted Jia Kui's shoulder heavily, and said loudly: "Brother, don't worry, my brother promises you that you will quit gambling from now on!" If you violate this statement, you will be able to die with five thunderstorms in the sky! ”

"My own brother, how can my brother make such a poisonous oath? Just quit gambling! I went! ”

After speaking, Jia Kui took a big stride and walked forward against the wind and snow. His military status has been transferred to the Ma Jun Division, and since then, like Di Qing, he has been transferred from the front of the palace to the Ma Jun Division. Although the status of the Yamen is higher than that of Ma Junsi, Ma Junsi has his own brothers to help him, and his brothers are appreciated by high-ranking officials, so he may be able to break out of a world of his own.

Watching his younger brother's back disappear into the wind and snow, Wu Han said to his wife: "My brother has been extraordinary since he was a child, but now in the peaceful years, he can only be foolish in the forbidden army. If you can really get the opportunity to kill thieves on the frontier and make military achievements, maybe you will be able to fight for a wife and a cute child, and change your family from now on. At that time, we husband and wife may be able to follow the light. ”

Sister-in-law Wu couldn't think so far, but said to her husband: "I'm a woman, I don't dare to think about those things." As long as you really do what your uncle said, quit gambling and live a good life, then you will be satisfied. ”

Wu Han patted his chest and said loudly to his wife: "I promised my brother, I will naturally be able to do it, and I will never gamble again!" ”

Sister-in-law Wu is a little unconvinced, this kind of oath gambler always has to send it to his family several times a month, but how can it be fulfilled once.

After sending Jia Kui away and gossiping back in the house for a while, Wu Han stood up and said to his wife: "You go to find the rice bag at home, and now that the wind is lighter, I will go and get this month's rice." This year, the Marquis of Yongning County is the provincial lord of the three divisions, and there is no change, what he gets is real money, and the rice is all good rice, and it is not the same as in previous years. From now on, we can eat this rice at home, and we don't have to go outside to buy it. ”

Sister-in-law Wu found the pocket, handed it to her husband, and said, "Uncle said that in the future, his rice will also be collected by us, so you can ask where it is by the way." It is said that they are all distributed in the grain yard, and I don't know if they can be received together. ”

"The left and right are always issued in the same yamen, it's just that the editions are different, and they should be able to get them together."

Wu Han said as he put the rice bag under his arm and went out of the house.

The sky was overcast, and the north wind was wrapped in fine snowflakes and hit the body without a head or face, and I didn't know whether it was snow in the sky or snow on the ground. Jia Kui had the new cotton clothes given by Di Qing, so he gave his cotton clothes to Wu Han, and Wu Han put them on his body together. just walked against the wind, the two layers of cotton clothes were still blown through, and the body was very cold.

Not far from the barracks, I met a brother from the same battalion who had brought back Lu Mi, and when he saw Wu Han, he shouted loudly: "Brother Wu, I see that you are also going to get Lu Mi." Wait until you come back later, and bet two together! ”

Wu Han said loudly: "Don't gamble, I promised my brother to quit gambling from today!" ”

The man said: "If you quit gambling, what's the point of living?" Look at those brothers who don't gamble, and I don't see anyone who lives better than us! ”

"No more betting! No more betting! Wu Han said as he strode forward against the wind. After a while, he left the visitor behind him and did not talk to him. I was afraid that one couldn't help it, so I followed him to the place where the gambling gathered.

The man shouted at Wu Han's back, "Brother Wu, everyone knows the rules!" You gamble with us, and you make sure that no one tells your family. Gambling from afar, gambling addiction or playing with your brother, don't go to a place you don't know! I've heard people say that there are people who gamble with strangers without knowing the depths and get ruined! ”

Wu Han didn't answer, just walked against the wind. promised his brother that he couldn't gamble anymore no matter what.

Less than noon, Wu Han rushed to the grain yard. Today's weather is cold, the wind is strong, and there are not many people in the grain yard. The officials who were in charge of the distribution of money and food gathered together in twos and threes, gossiping in a leeward place.

Wu Han was familiar with the way to the case of the front of the palace and his own part of the people who distributed food, took out the document from his arms, handed it to the official behind the case, and said: "Wu Han, the cavalry of the arch holy army in front of the palace, came to receive the grain and troubled my brother. ”

The official took Wu Han's document and read it, took out a thick booklet and read it. He closed it casually and said to Wu Han: "This brother, you don't need to receive your Lumi." It's freezing, let's go back! ”

Wu Han couldn't help but be anxious when he heard it: "Why didn't you get it?!" There are old and young people in my family, waiting to get the food and go back to make some porridge to drink! ”

The official said impatiently: "The three divisions are issued according to the version of the forbidden army, and your palace front division has done a document, including some of you inside, and the rice is brought back by the palace front division himself." If there's anything you don't understand, go back to your yamen and ask. ”

Wu Han was at a loss for a while, stood in the cold wind for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother, what did the front secretary of the palace move?" Can you show me a look? I've always been here to get food before, and I've never made a mistake. ”

The official impatiently took out a volume, unfolded it in front of Wu Han, and said, "Do you know how to read?" What about showing it to you? See, here is the monogram of the former Sikong Mu official of your palace, and your Lu Mi has already been taken away! ”

Wu Han looked at the place pointed by the official, and vaguely recognized it as the seal letter of his yamen Confucius official, and many of the documents that were handed down in the army in peacetime had the same mark. Seeing that the official closed the paperwork, he caged his sleeves and shrunk his neck, looking like he didn't want to say a word in the wind, Wu Han couldn't help but be at a loss. Why did the money and food stop as soon as his brother left?

The forbidden army issued money and grain through the grain institute under the three divisions, but the amount to whom was distributed was determined by the three ya, and the grain institute only did things according to the list. Suddenly, his money and food stopped in the yamen, and there was no warning, and no one told him what it was for, Wu was stunned all of a sudden.

After a long while, he said to the official who distributed the grain: "Brother, I will go to the yamen to inquire about this matter myself." But I have another brother, and I also receive the grain. He is now a member of the Ma Military Division, and he doesn't know where to get it? ”

The official casually pointed not far away: "Ma Junsi is on that side, hurry up, don't delay others here!" ”
