Billowing smoke dragons, bursts of kicks. The dog barks and the rooster crows, and the morning bell is long. The sky is red, and the grass is thick. Who's in a hurry? Flying like a rainbow.

"Drive! Drive! ”

Five horses, five men, horses galloping like shooting stars, people bending their bows, stepping out of the dust on the road, and the first one urged the horses to sit down from time to time, and raised their voices to open the way.

"Hurry up to eight hundred miles, give way."

The people who came out to set up stalls in the morning in Sanshui County took advantage of the hazy dawn to hear this sound, and they took refuge on both sides of the road. What's wrong? Do you have to fight a big battle?

"Quick, go back and call my second son, and take out the leather armor at home." An old man who thought he was going to fight stopped looking at the stall, and called the old woman who followed him, and was going home to prepare things for the second son to serve the country.

The man on the horse may have noticed that the people's expressions were wrong, so they had to change their words and say, "Good news for eight hundred miles, make way." ”

At this time, the person who was about to go home just now stopped, but he was even more puzzled, how can the urgent report of 800 miles be used to report the good news?

The people on the horse don't care what others think, as long as they don't let people think that they are going to fight, they urge the horses to run as fast as they can, and after half an hour, they are at a post house, and there are already horses ready to change horses next to them, and the five people jump off their horses, hold a token in their hands, change horses and run.

Seven quarters of an hour, from the Yamen of Sanshui County to Zhangjiazhuangzi in Tuqiao Village, the five of them only took seven quarters of an hour, and there was still a quarter of an hour to go.

"Chen Dong, the official of Sanshui County, asked to see Captain Yunqi." The first man jumped off the horse, came to the outside of the courtyard of the Zhang family, knocked on the door twice, and without waiting for the janitor inside to ask, he shouted loudly, and after shouting this sentence, he stood there waiting with a happy and excited look on his face.

The four people in the back were also happy together, tidied up the clothes on their bodies, stood up as much as possible, and waited for the people inside to come out and say hello again.

The person guarding the door was stunned, and when he heard the voice outside, he was familiar, who was the official in the yamen, but who was the cloud cavalry captain? Why did you run to Zhangjia Zhuangzi and shout?

Knowing that it was an acquaintance, the gatekeeper opened the door first, and while letting the five officials in, he turned around and ran towards the butler's courtyard.

Fortunately, when he hadn't run too far, that Chen Dong added a sentence to receive the holy decree, so that he knew what to say.

After a while, all the old and young of Zhangjia Zhuangzi came out, changed into new clothes one by one, and the old man came over, and without waiting for him to speak, Chen Dong said first:

"Old lady, congratulations, the imperial court came to the holy decree, it was to the state, Lord Zhou sent it to the yamen with six hundred miles overnight, I didn't stop at all, and sent it here, Yun Cavalry Captain, the emperor named Yongcheng Brother as Yun Cavalry Captain, Zheng Qipin, and the Wang family, Wang Gong, Wang Gutu eldest brother, sealed the Wu Cavalry Captain, from the seventh grade."

As he spoke, Chen Dong was about to give the holy decree in his arms to Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Xiaobao and his father Zhang Yongcheng could only wait aside, don't look at it as sealing him, he is the head of the family, and at a critical time in the family, what he said does not count.

Mrs. Zhang didn't take it, first arranged the five people to rest in the living room, and he ordered people to bathe and change clothes, and then took someone to take the holy decree, called his son to the side, and asked him to kneel down to receive the decree, and then went to the ancestral hall at home to offer incense to the ancestors.

The old lady was excited, while offering incense, crying, for a while saying that he was relieved to go to see his ancestors at this time, and for a while saying that the Zhang family had a queen, and tossed incoherently for half an hour, and then came out of it with red eyes, remembering that the Wang family was also waiting, and hurriedly rushed over with five servants.

The Wang family also tossed around, took out a lot of silver and gave it to the five officials, and took out thirty catties of dried fungus from Zhang Xiaobao's treasury for the officials to take back and divide it.

This time, the two Zhuangzi harvested a lot, not only the officials, the 100 households of Zhangjia Zhuangzi were taken back, and another 300 households and 2,400 acres of land were sealed, and the Wang family Zhuangzi directly sealed 200 households and 1,600 acres of land, which belonged to the official small and large.

At this time, the two Zhuangzi households also got the news, and heard that their main family was sealed by the imperial court, and there was a lot of land, so one household ran to the grocery store to buy a lot of firecrackers, and put them up crackling.

Shuiyunjian Restaurant announced on the spot that the drinks would be free for three days, which made those who came to see the talents guessing the questions happy.

When the people of the Ge family Zhuangzi heard the movement, they came out to take a look, there was a person who was doing things in the restaurant, and when he told the matter, the Ge family Zhuangzi was a little disappointed, why was his master not named an official?

The two Zhuangzi of the family suddenly have 400 more food estates than at the beginning, and they now add up to more than 200 households, and with 500 households, it will naturally make the current Zhuangzi households all transferred to it, and with the appearance of the two main families to the villagers, the rent in the autumn will be exempted a lot.

The first thing that comes to mind is whether their own family can enter the Zhang family or the Wang family, even if the main family does not reduce the rent, or reduce it a little, and the children can eat the meals prepared by others when they arrive at the school, and they don't have to bring it from their own homes.

When the child came home a few days ago, he said that he was embarrassed to take out what other people were eating.

******

Luochuan County, pasture.

From time to time there was a snoring sound in the tents, and the children snored less, but this time there were more, and they were all tired, and after two days of marching in a row, they finally knew what it meant to be uncomfortable.

Of the 135 people who came at the beginning, only 100 were left to receive three, and 32 people withdrew, 14 people withdrew on the first day, 18 people withdrew on the second day, and those of both ages withdrew.

Pomegranate and another maid took turns guarding next to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, an oil lamp swayed gently, and Pomegranate held a fan in his hand, gently fanning the two of them.

Looking at the cute appearance of the two people when they slept, Pomegranate couldn't go over and kiss one person, last night, the little boy and the little lady were more than half an hour earlier than the third person who came back, and then the next trot, even the Li family's Li Chengdu couldn't keep up.

At that time, I was accompanied by three other people, the envious eyes around me, I can't help but be happy when I think about it, wilderness survival training, isn't it a comparison between these children, twelve-year-old children, even less than the little boy and the little lady who are less than three years old, people are really dead compared to people.

"Sister Pomegranate, it's going to be dawn soon, is it for me?" Just as Pomegranate was thinking about things, the maid who was sleeping next to her opened her eyes to see the light in the gap in the tent and asked Pomegranate.

"No, I'm not sleepy, I'm happy, no one can compare to our little boy and little lady, win again this year, you can rest, they are old and have to run for a few days, they may not be able to run down, yesterday I saw a few children tired and crying."

Pomegranate rejected the offer to replace him, and gently shook the fan with his other hand, a proud look on his face.

The maid thought about it, stopped sleeping, and got up to wait for the little boy to freshen up for a while.

At this moment, there was a sound of chirping and horses' hooves and neighing outside the camp, this time it was okay, there was no need to wake up the children, the children in the tent had not rested well, they slept in a different environment, they always felt uncomfortable, they were sleeping on the couch at home, and they could only sleep on the carpet here, and they were awakened by a little movement.

One by one, they came out of the tent with their hazy sleepy eyes, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also heard the noise, and they didn't know what was going on, so they got up and looked out through the gap in the tent door.

After a while, the movement stopped, and from there came a man with two horses and two men leading them.

"Congratulations to Gongzi Zhang, someone from the Yamen of Sanshui County said that he wanted to see Gongzi, Gongzi's father was named a cloud cavalry captain, and the Wang family also got a martial cavalry captain, these two officials are here to report."

"Oh, thank you Gongzi Li, please bring someone here." Zhang Xiaobao looked at Li Cheng, listening to what he said, his calm state of mind finally fluctuated, he didn't care about these things, he only cared about his family, but his family cared about these.

"Little boy, I'm ......."

"You are Song Yang, Song Yashi, you have traveled so far to report the news, you have worked hard, is your aunt okay? I wonder if that's true or ......?" Zhang Xiaobao has a good memory, usually as long as he has seen people, he can basically remember it, and he asked a question, but he didn't say it later.

"Really, little boy, it's all true, are you going back soon? Good, good, all good, my family is not bad, thank you Zhang, eat well, dress well, and the child is strong. ”

At this time, Song Yang suddenly felt that the fatigue of galloping all the way disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the little boy was so old that he could know the things in his family, and he must have been told by his family.

He also has a daughter-in-law who has just given birth to a child, and Zhangjia Zhuangzi also sent a lot of things, only a big bag of apricots and plums, at least 500 yuan, and the others together, seven or eight taels of silver may not be enough.

The child even asked the doctor invited by the family to take care of him, what to repay this kindness? He could only help Zhangjia Zhuangzi do more things, so he rushed over to report the news.

"Really? Little boy, let's go back, now it's okay, the hundred food towns finally don't have to worry about being taken back, the old man is an official, and I will be the maid of the official family in the future. ”

Pomegranate also listened along, and when she heard that her lord had been made an official, even if she didn't know how old this official was, she cheered and couldn't help but say what was in her heart.

"Okay, go back, let's go, Wang Juan, get on the horse." Zhang Xiaobao got an affirmative answer, he didn't care about the survival of the wild here anymore, and greeted Wang Juan, and he himself stood next to the horse first.
