Chapter Seventy-Three: The Thief Comes
Born as a Ming Dynasty, how can he leave his post without permission? Even though Dong Ce has this and that, he always has his own principles in his heart.
When Dong Ce and the others came back, it was just dark, and the day's training had just ended.
In the small collective of Anxiangdun, under Dong Ce's careful management, basically everything is on the right track, even if he is not there, someone will take him to carry it out.
The female soldiers were compiled into a capital by Dong Ce, and the head of the capital - this may be the only female head in history - is the eldest daughter of the Zhai Rang family.
This girl is tall and has long legs, only fifteen years old, she is taller than the average man, and she followed her father to a lot of boundaries this night, and walked from Jizhen to Datong on the nine sides, and learned a body of martial arts.
Dong Ce didn't give her a false title, she was the head, and she could receive five dollars of silver every month, also to take care of the dead Zhai Rang.
Back in the fort, everyone gathered around, everyone said that they would be rewarded and promoted, because everyone had a share, so they were all happy, and everyone in the fort cheered. Only the family members of the dead Zhang Qisi and Zhai Rang, holding the tablet of their dead husbands, put the official clothes of the general flag in front of them, and the family cried together.
Everyone has been running outside for a day, all of them are stinky sweat, mixed with dust and mud, all dirty, and the sour smell on their bodies can't be hidden.
So {1} read {small} and said that 3w.ybdu went back to take a bath and eat without mentioning it.
β²A is for those ladies to take it down and carefully wipe and clean it, and maintain it carefully.
Ten mile shop.
Dong Zhai.
It was about half past five in the afternoon, when the golden sunset sprinkled down from the wall and fell in the courtyard, through the sparse branches and leaves, sprinkling a fine spot of light, quiet, leisurely, like a lazy dream in the afternoon.
With a creak, the door to the main hall opened softly, and a petite figure came out of it and carefully closed the door. She wore a green cloth dress, a wooden hairpin on her head, a cloth hairpin skirt, plain face, elegant and beautiful. It was Wei Hongsleeve, with a shallow smile on her face, walking down the steps lightly, her eyebrows were very comfortable, obviously she was very comfortable these days.
As soon as she walked to the front yard, the door was knocked open, and the eldest girl carried a hoe in her right hand and a thick jujube stick in her left hand. Hungry people too! β
Suddenly, her voice stopped abruptly, like a chicken with its neck cut off, her fat face full of embarrassment and embarrassment, and she didn't know where to put the things in her hands.
Red Sleeves looked at her with a straight face, lowered his voice and said, "Big girl, why are you not having a long memory?" How many times have I told you, the old lady is here, she is old, she can't stand the noise, and she told you to lower your voice and speak, and I can't remember it! β
The eldest girl is also very close to her, knowing her soft temperament, he smiled without skin and face, and leaned up and said, "Aren't I very hungry?" There will be no next time, and then Mrs. you will ask Erya to beat me on the board! β
"You!" Red Sleeves smiled helplessly: "Aren't you hungry?" Hurry up and wash up, you're back just in time, and it's time for us to have dinner. β
The eldest girl hurriedly sighed, threw the hoe stick to the edge of the door, and went to the well to carry a bucket of water back to the room to wash it.
With a squeak, the kitchen door opened, and Erya smiled: "Madam, the food is ready." β
Red Sleeves snorted, and before he entered the kitchen, he smelled a pungent aroma coming from inside.
Soon, Red Sleeves came out with a tray with a large bowl of stewed chicken, a plate of small pickles, an empty bowl, and two bowls of corn.
Red Sleeves pushed the door open with his left shoulder and leaned sideways inside. The light in the room was still bright, Qiao Shi was sitting behind the desk and closing his eyes to recuperate, when he heard the sound, he opened his eyes and was about to stand up to help, Red Sleeves hurriedly said: "Eh, mother, you sit down quickly, I'll come." β
She put down the tray, put the empty bowl of chicken soup aside, sat on the side with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mother, let's eat!" β
Qiao Shi looked at her fixedly, sighed, and his face was full of kindness: "Red sleeves, having your daughter-in-law is really my wife's good life." β
"Don't say that." Red Sleeves pursed her lips and smiled: "Mother, it's my fate to have you here." You treat me just like my mother. β
Speaking of this, I can't help but feel a little red under my eyes.
When Dong Ce just sent Qiao's here, Red Sleeves was very nervous, after all, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the relationship is less good and more bad. Whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, it is better throughout the ages.
Not to mention, she is still a married woman, maybe her mother-in-law will be disgusted when she hears it.
Red Sleeves was also afraid that this mother-in-law would not be able to serve well, so he made up his mind from the beginning, no matter when and what happened, everything needed to be patient, and if there was any grievance, he would swallow it himself, and he would never dare to make a complaint with the minister, so as not to annoy him.
But I didn't expect that this mother-in-law was excellent, spoke kindly, and did not point fingers and provoke thorns indiscriminately.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well.
Qiao's people are sophisticated, they have experienced a lot, and they have even had miserable situations such as middle-aged widowhood, unfilial piety of sons and daughters-in-law, so they take some things lightly. It's just that the stability of the present and the people in front of you are doubly cherished! Therefore, the well-behaved and obedient, gentle and meticulous red sleeves are particularly eye-catching.
has been getting along these days, she likes this daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart, so she treats her as a daughter-in-law, and everything is towards her.
A few days ago, when my son came back, he took out a bag of silver, and Qiao Shi and Red Sleeves opened it and counted it, and they were all shockedβthese broken silver and small silver ingots added up, and there were more than two hundred taels! According to Dong Ce's military salary, he may not be able to save so much without eating or drinking for ten years! Both of them thought that Dong Ce had done something illegal, and Dong Ce explained with a smile that there was no problem with the source of the money, and then the two of them were relieved.
Dong Ce meant, the money was still handed over to his mother to manage, but he didn't expect Qiao's to give him a lecture, saying that now that Red Sleeves is in charge, she should naturally be in charge.
From that day on, there was a big bowl of stewed rotten fat chicken on the dinner table every day, which was the most suitable for Qiao's who had gradually become worse than his teeth, but Red Sleeves still ate the same as before.
Qiao Shi said her a few times, but Red Sleeves just smiled, and the next day she was still eating pickles and corn.
She is a person who knows how to advance and retreat very well, although she is favored, she will not be pampered and arrogant, but will be doubly gentle and careful.
The news that Dong Ce was promoted to a hundred households and was appointed as an officer of the ten-mile shop team had spread as early as yesterday, and everyone's awe of the Dong family was a little more. When Red Sleeves and Qiao's heard about it, they were extremely happy, and Qiao's was still babbling for a long time in front of Dong Ce's father's tablet, and his eyes were red when he came out.
Then the red sleeves instructed the eldest girl and the second girl to be cautious in doing things, and even those tenants she recruited and told them again, so that everyone should not get carried away because of this news.
After eating, Red Sleeves cleaned up the table, but Qiao Shi suddenly said on the side: "Red Sleeves, you and Erlang have been some time, and this matter of extending the heir should also be taken to heart." β
Hearing this, the red-sleeved face turned red after brushing it, and he lowered his head and said, "It's my daughter-in-law's fault, I ...... it."
"What are you doing? It's Erlang's stinky boy, who stays away from home all day. Qiao Shi waved his hand and chuckled: "Old woman, I am idle all day, while my body can still move, I just want to help you take care of the children." β
Red Sleeves' face was already red, and it seemed that he was about to drip blood, so he answered in a low voice, and he didn't dare to speak, so he was about to go out in a panic.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, as if indescribably panicked.
Faintly, there were bursts of shouting and killing, although it sounded extremely distant, but it was real.
Red Sleeves and Qiao's glanced at each other, and a sense of foreboding welled up.
The door was knocked open by the big girl, and the big girl broke in with a panicked face: "Madam, it's not good, the thief is here!" β
The night is as cool as water.
The moon is bright tonight, and Anxiangdun reflected in the night is like a crouching giant beast.
The four fields were silent, as if the whole world was quiet, but suddenly, a burst of horses' hooves trampled on this eternal tranquility.
The sound of hooves became louder and louder, and it came straight towards Anxiangdun.
Two lanterns hang from the flagpole on the pier, illuminating a small area. Zhou Zhong and Wang Yu, who are on duty tonight, and Anxiangdun are on duty at night, and they have always been two people together, one can rotate with each other, have time to rest, and the other also play a role in supervising each other.
The small house on the pier platform is a place where wolf dung and other sundries are piled up, the smell is extremely unpleasant, and it is naturally inconvenient for people to live, so Zhou Zhong leaned against the female wall and slept. The night was a little cold, and he was wrapped in a new blanket, which was heavy and covered with thick wool, and it was very warm to wrap around his body. Since making a fortune in Jiannu, almost every one of these soldiers in Anxiangdun has bought some belongings for himself.
Wang Yu stared at a pair of eyes, constantly looking in all directions, his ears were also pricked up, and he carefully listened to the subtle movements around him.
He didn't dare to be lazy. Dong Ce is extremely strict with the requirements for night duty, and he is never allowed to be lazy, and he will come up from time to time to check. Wang Hun and Wang Tong have both caught him lazy, and Dong Ceping is very friendly to these subordinates, and he is not afraid to laugh. But there was no mercy in all these matters of principle, and both men were whipped as a warning. The lesson of the car ahead is not far away, Wang Yu naturally does not dare to slack off, and besides, he slept for a while just now, and he is not very sleepy now.
As soon as the sound of the horse's hooves sounded, he was caught by Wang Yu, and he immediately woke up, his body tensed, and he clenched the big iron bow in his hand.
