Chapter 236: Martial Law

it!

Zhou Shaoyu, who rarely swears, couldn't help but curse in his heart, and he couldn't wait to slap himself.

The last time Zhou Shaoyu first traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, it was the third year of Yuanfu, that is, in 1100 AD, and he also married Wan Qiaoqiao there in a year and took her away.

And now it is the second year of Xuanhe, 1120 AD, even if you leave a few years later, you haven't seen Aunt Wan for more than ten years, let alone the eldest brother who has never met.

For a full twenty years, in the eyes of others, even if Wan Qiaoqiao marries a little P child, he should be in his twenties, not to mention that Zhou Shaoyu was already in his teens, and after twenty years, he is almost forty, and he still looks like a young man, who will believe it?

I knew that it was better to pretend to be my son and save trouble, Zhou Shaoyu sweated profusely, this is also dark under the lights, and he did have an idea to pass the time difference, but he forgot the factor of his appearance.

However, everything has already been said, and I can only continue to explain.

"Uncle, slow down!" Zhou Shaoyu was in a hurry, this flat shoulder really couldn't kill people, but it was also painful, so he hurriedly carried the gift box to dodge left and right.

Finally, he took out a letter from his arms and shouted: "I have a clever family letter, my uncle can verify one or two, and then my mother is also a person!" Also, I brought a gift, and you can see that I'm not a liar. ”

Zhou Shaoyu hurriedly put the gift box on the ground, the lid opened, and there were a few good mink furs inside, large and small, and then a few ginsengs that were not too old, as well as a few ingots of gold and silver.

Wan Jin saw things clearly, and then stopped, he is just a small businessman, and now he has opened a medium-sized tea shop in Hangzhou, and he makes a little money every month, and he doesn't make a lot of money.

But there is no background, it is difficult to expand, and now such a small wealth is safe, and it is in the hands of Wanjin, but I never thought that this suspected liar's sister-in-law would be so generous, and these things add up to almost catch up with all his living money.

"Don't show your wealth, and close the lid." Wan Jin turned his head and looked around, fortunately, he hadn't alarmed others yet, so he quickly asked Zhou Shaoyu to cover it so that no one could see the evil intentions. "Where's the letter? Put it on the ground, and go farther away, and I will take it back and wait for my mother to decide. ”

Okay, Zhou Shaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only do it obediently. And then the misunderstanding was finally resolved.

The years are like water, and they are gone.

Wan Da Niang, who still has the charm back then, is now dying, and this age can be regarded as a long life in ancient times, fortunately, her face is old, but her body bones are not bad, and her memory is not bad, she recognized Zhou Shaoyu at a glance, which somewhat relieved Zhou Shaoyu, otherwise she would really cry and laugh.

When you are older, you are easy to nag, grabbing Zhou Shaoyu and chattering non-stop, as if she wants to finish the words of the past ten years before she stops, but it is basically just some trivial matters, and there is also the longing for her daughter Qiaoqiao.

Zhou Shaoyu nodded in response, a little guilty, and when Aunt Wan finally went back to the house to sleep, Zhou Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the old man's chatter, but he needed to be patient.

"Uncle, pack up and go to Bianliang tomorrow morning." At dinner, Zhou Shaoyu finally said the purpose of the trip. "Fang La's momentum is big for a while, and now La has already commanded the army to attack Shezhou, and it won't last long, and then he will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack Hangzhou, and Hangzhou can't hold it."

"There are tens of thousands of defenders in Hangzhou, so you can't even hold a group of rabble, right?" Wan Jin was puzzled by this, he opened a teahouse, how much he could listen to what others said, and he also knew that many people took refuge in the north with their families, but they didn't think that Fang La could take Hangzhou, which was a big city.

"Just those Xiangjun soldiers?" Zhou Shaoyu expressed his disdain, the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army is generally not high, not that there is no elite, but that the Song Dynasty is a bit strange, most of them are Xiang Army, and the Xiang Army, either temporary recruitment, or where the disaster has suffered, and then the disaster victims are included, which can be regarded as an alternative rescue method, just don't let people starve to death.

Although under normal circumstances, the Xiang army will not directly participate in the battle, but in the face of the attack of Fang La's tens of thousands of troops, it is strange that the Xiang army does not participate in the war, but in ancient wars, courage and morale are indispensable, and a group of soft eggs will collapse in a short time, which will have a great impact on morale.

"Little brother dares to assert that if the imperial court does not dispatch reinforcements in time, Hangzhou will be broken!" Of course, Zhou Shaoyu was sure. "For the sake of safety, let's go to Bianliang to avoid it first, if there is any loss, the younger brother will compensate."

"Brother doesn't like to hear this, you mean well, I still know this, okay, now that the price of rice salt in Hangzhou is soaring, it is better to go to Bianliang to avoid it than to make money." Wan Jin finally nodded, this thing is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, not to mention that the city of Hangzhou is broken, but it is not broken, and the army of Fang La will surround it, and the prices in Hangzhou will be chaotic.

After speaking, Wan Jin couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shaoyu again, there is no way, his sister-in-law is too young, curious, a person who is almost forty, or a young man, could it be that he has a skill in cultivation?

If Zhou Shaoyu knew what Wan Jin was thinking, he would definitely cry and laugh, if he was an outsider, he would just fool around, for the Wan family, he really didn't know how to explain it, and he could only say that he was born like this, and I don't know why.

Hearing that Wanjin had made a decision, Zhou Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could speak, he saw the housekeeper of Wanjia running in, and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good, I just heard the news, Shezhou has been broken by the thief army, and the former army of the thief army has marched in the direction of Hangzhou. ”

Bang, Zhou Shaoyu slapped his head, hurried to catch up, or a step slower.

There are only a few ships in Hangzhou, don't plan to come back with these ships if you leave, there are not too many gentry, wealthy businessmen and rich people in Hangzhou, how can ordinary people have the qualifications to board the ships, not to mention that these people have a large number of dependents, and there are a lot of property to take away, and there are even fewer people who can get on the boats.

Anyway, Wanjin's grade, although it is not bad, has a few family resources, but no matter how you look at it, you are not qualified to have a relationship to board the ship and escape.

Use that dragon-patterned jade pendant? Zhou Shaoyu vetoed it instantly, this is just Zhao Ji's portable jade pendant, and it is not the emperor's gold medal decree or something, not to mention whether it can be useful, it doesn't matter which one can escape at the moment, at the moment of life and death, a jade pendant wants to occupy a limited number of places, which is a bit whimsical.

If it's just Zhou Shaoyu alone, it's better to squeeze in the case of more things than less, but if you add a big family of thousands of families, it will be troublesome.

There is only one Wan Da Niang in the older generation, but Wan Jin married a wife, and also accepted several concubines, and gave birth to more than ten children, and there are even grandchildren and grandchildren, there are too many people.
