Chapter 64: The Return
Looking at the sun setting, Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan: "What kind of place is this?" How do I look familiar? β
Gao Daquan said with a smile: "This has entered the scope of our village, and the land that I walked through before was the original horse herding supervisor." The owner is not in good health, and he can't remember clearly. β
Xu Ping said "oh", and he actually arrived home, thinking that there were many difficulties and obstacles ahead.
said to Shi Yannian, who was on the horse next to him: "Official, there is my Zhuangzi in front, it is better to rest here for the night before leaving." There is a good wine in the village, so drink it to your heart's content! β
Shi Yannian is an idle job, there is no official business, and there is no need to go to court if the official position is humble, and he heard Xu Ping say that there is good wine in the village, so he said: "Since it has arrived, it is better to rest here." β
When I arrived at the village, a villager saw it, came to lead the horse for a few people, and said: "Thank God, the little farmer is back!" In these two days, the people in the village will die of sorrow! β
Xu Ping got off the horse, his footsteps were still a little vain, he forcibly stopped, and asked the Zhuang guest in front of the door: "Lin Xiucai and Sun Qilang Are they back?" β
Zhuang Ke replied: "They also sent someone back to inquire about the news of the little farmer, and when they heard that they did not come back, they were still looking for it outside." β
Hearing the movement, Xu Chang came out of it, and almost cried when he saw Xu Ping: "Da Lang is back, you can go here, but you will frighten the people in the village!" Hearing the news, the owner and the housewife were worried, especially the housewife who cried a few times in the past two days! β
Zhang Sanniang treated Xu Ping as the tip of her heart, and when she heard that there was an accident, she looked for death and life, and she had to go out to find it by herself, and was persuaded by everyone, but she kept crying at home.
Xu Ping was also reluctant to go, and said to Xu Chang: "Don't care, I'm a little unwell, you go and tell your father and mother, and I'll report to them tomorrow." β
Xu Chang saw that Xu Ping's face was pale, and knew that he was sick, so he hurriedly said: "Da Lang, rest in peace in the village, I'll go to the town!" β
Xu Chang instructed Zhuang Ke to inform Lin Wensi and his party that Xu Ping had returned to the village, so he took Xu Ping's horse and rode to Baisha Town.
Xu Ping said to Lin Su Niang again: "The teacher hasn't come back either, you can go back to your residence with me to rest for a while." β
Lin Suniang nodded and didn't speak.
Xu Ping apologized to Shi Yannian again: "Shi Guanren, sit down, and let Gao Daquan accompany you to drink two glasses of wine." I tossed around outside for a day and a night, trying to go in and change my clothes. β
Shi Yannian was open-minded by nature and didn't care: "The little master is at ease." β
Xu Ping asked Gao Daquan to fetch two bottles of the best wine, drank it with Shi Yannian first, and took Lin Suniang back to his small courtyard.
As soon as I returned to the small courtyard, I saw Su Er and Xiuxiu sitting in front of Xiuxiu's door, one inside and one outside, both of them were stunned.
Seeing Xu Ping and Lin Suniang, the two of them cried out together "wow".
Lin Suniang asked Su'er: "Why are you here?" β
Su Er cried: "I'm here to accompany Xiuxiu!" β
Xu Ping asked Xiuxiu strangely: "Why did you ask Su'er to come over to accompany you?" β
Xiuxiu cried and said: "The officials said that they couldn't tell me not to go out, but they all said that the officials were gone!" - I'm scared to death! β
Xu Ping remembered that when he arranged the manpower that night, he asked Xiuxiu to go back to the room to hide, but he didn't expect the little girl to admit her death and still haven't left the room.
Sighing, Xu Ping said to Xiuxiu: "It's okay, I'm already back." β
Xiuxiu came out of the room at this time, saw that Xu Ping's face was wrong, wiped her tears and asked, "Is the official sick?" β
Xu Ping nodded: "I suffered a little bit of wind and cold." If you're all right, go cook me a bowl of ginger soup to drink. β
Xiuxiu hurriedly agreed.
Su'er stood up and said, "I'll go with Xiuxiu!" β
Watching the two little girls walk towards the kitchen, Lin Suniang said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang's body can't hold on, go back to the room to rest." I told them to do the rest. β
Xu Ping shook his head: "I'm really unstable, the lady is bothered." β
Lin Suniang helped Xu Ping back to the room, asked him to lie down on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
As soon as he lay on the bed, Xu Ping felt like his whole body was falling apart, and he couldn't hold back anymore, shrinking his body and making a fuss.
After a while, Xiuxiu came over with a big bowl of ginger soup, and Su'er held the soup spoon behind her.
Xu Ping took the ginger soup and drank it with his head up.
Lin Suniang was taken aback: "Da Lang be careful of scalding, cool it and drink it again!" β
At this time, Xu Ping's feeling was already numb, where could he still feel hot! Drink a large bowl of ginger soup clean, hand the bowl out, and fall asleep.
Seeing that Xu Ping fell asleep to death after not long ago, Lin Suniang said to Xiuxiu: "Da Lang has been tossed miserably this night, you take care of him carefully, and pour hot water on him when he wakes up to let him bathe and change clothes." β
Xiuxiu hurriedly agreed.
Lin Suniang said to Su'er: "Let's go back, I'll also call to pick it up." β
Xu Ping fell asleep, and he had nightmares, sweating like rain, and Xiuxiu, who was sitting on the side, was frightened.
At some point, Xu Ping woke up from his sleep and sat up on the bed.
"Da Lang, you're awake!"
Hearing the voice, Xu Ping noticed that there were several people standing next to his bed. In addition to Xiuxiu, there are also Xu Zheng and Xu Chang. The sound just now was made by Zhang Sanniang.
Xu Ping sat stunned for a while, came back to his senses, and said to Xu Zheng and Zhang Sanniang: "Let Daddy and Mom worry." β
Zhang Sanniang believed that Xu Ping had improved, came up and hugged him, and cried: "My son, this time I scared my mother miserably!" You've been a troublemaker since you were a child, but you've never scared me like this once! β
Xu Zheng coughed and said, "Mom's words don't make sense!" This time, thanks to Dalang, Su Niang can come back safely! This is not a trouble, his in-laws praised him to the sky outside! β
Zhang Sanniang listened and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Da Lang did a good thing this time!" It's just that no matter what, don't let your mother worry so much about things in the future, okay? β
Lin Wensi has come back and is drinking with Shi Yannian outside, and it is not good for Zhang Sanniang to let him hear it. As soon as Xu Zhengyi reminded him, Zhang Sanniang also came to his senses.
Xu Ping asked Zhang Sanniang: "When did you and Daddy come?" β
Zhang Sanniang said: "As soon as I heard Xu Chang's words, the two of us rushed back. I can't eat or sleep without seeing you! β
Mother and son have different natures and feelings, Xu Ping comforted Zhang Sanniang a few words.
Xu Zhengdao: "My son has woken up, let's not pester him here, let him bathe and change clothes, and his body will be cooler." I heard Su Niang say that it rained all night last night, don't die of discomfort on your body! β
Zhang Sanniang let go of Ping, wiped her tears for a while, and followed everyone out of the room.
Xiuxiu had already prepared hot water, Xu Ping took off his clothes, soaked in the hot water, and felt comfortable physically and mentally.
After this ordeal, Xu Ping knew that he was so important in the hearts of many people. There are fathers and mothers who regard themselves as the root of their lives, fiancΓ©es who do not forget their childhood sweethearts, personal little girls who regard themselves as backers, and those who appreciate themselves and hate them.
Xu Ping finally understood that he didn't travel to this world, it was the unsuccessful Xu family who borrowed the memories of his previous life. In this world, he is Xu Ping, not someone else.
After more than half a year of experience, Xu Ping also learned a lot about the Song Dynasty and knew that this was the most similar era in Chinese history to the previous life in which he lived. Regardless of the customs, whether political or economic, although there have been thousands of years apart, although the degree of development is far apart, there are some similar things in the bones.
Xu Ping is very fortunate to have come to such an era.
After taking a shower and putting on the new clothes prepared by Xiuxiu, Xu Ping only felt refreshed. Although there is still some fatigue in the body, it is no longer so uncomfortable.
Out of the door, only Zhang Sanniang and Xiuxiu were waiting at the door, and said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang, your father went outside to accompany Shi Guanren to drink, let you go too." He is a benefactor, you accompany a drink. β
Xu Ping responded and said to Zhang Sanniang: "Mom has been tired in the past two days, let's take a rest." I passed. β
When he arrived in the hall, Shi Yannian was drinking with a few people, and when he saw Xu Ping coming out, he smiled and said, "Is the little master feeling better?" Come over for a drink, too! β
At this time, in addition to the people of the Xu family and the Lin family, there were also Xu Chang, Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang on the wine table, all of whom made a lot of efforts to find Xu Ping, and also had a good amount of wine, so they came to accompany Shi Yannian.
Xu Ping sat down at the table, picked up a glass of wine and said to Shi Yannian: "This time it's thanks to the officials." This glass of wine is not a tribute, and the officials drink this cup full! β
Shi Yannian drank the wine and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, I just followed it, or the owner of the small village, Jiren, has his own natural appearance." I usually can't afford to drink such good wine in your village, but this time I want to drink it, and the host doesn't have to laugh at it! β
Xu Zheng hurriedly said: "What did the official say?" The wine is all home-brewed, and the officials just have fun! β
Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang both drank a little, and with a red face, they just persuaded Shi Yannian. These drinks are usually saved, and they usually don't have a chance to eat, so they let go tonight.
Xu Ping was sick and didn't dare to drink more, so he stopped with one cup. Xu Zheng and Lin Wensi are not good drinkers, they just sit at the wine table, and they all rely on three subordinates to accompany Shi Yannian.
Scholars are all status-conscious, which is a bit rude to say. Fortunately, Shi Yannian has been in the lower echelons for many years, and he has a bold temperament, and he will make friends with the right temperament, and he doesn't pay attention to these. There is good wine, and there are opponents who are equal, and the alcohol is drunk, so you just have to fight with the three of you.
After drinking for a while, Xu Ping asked Xu Chang: "Did the thieves captured that day be sent to the county?" The end result? β
Xu Chang said: "The magistrate of the county asked about the crime, because the main culprit is dead, and everyone else has been punished with a cane, and I heard that he will be sent to Zhengzhou." There is also the matter of Da Lang, and the county magistrate replied after he came back. β
Xu Ping was taken aback, this was too hasty. The main culprit was killed in public, so why didn't he skip it? And the accomplice was also sentenced too lightly.
asked Xu Chang: "How can this be?" Kegoro's death is not asked? Zhengzhou is adjacent to Kaifeng Mansion, and it is too light to flow there! β
Shi Yannian sighed: "I'll tell you about the affairs of the government." Listening to what you said, the five people that day should be the nearby forbidden army, and the person who can direct the forbidden army must be the house of power, and the magistrate doesn't want to cause trouble, so he pretends to be confused. As for the transfer of Zhengzhou, it is not a light sentence, at the beginning of the year, the imperial court had a will, and the prisoners of Kaifeng Mansion were all assigned to Jiagushan in Xingyang County for quarrying. When you go there, most of them don't want to come back. β
Xu Ping bowed his head and was silent. This matter can't be ignored, the government can't count on it, so they will find their own explanation.
