Chapter 300： a man of his words!

Chapter 300 A gentleman’s words are hard to catch!

Before the Marquis could speak, everyone became worried and all asked, "Are the barbarians coming across the river?"

Ye Shan shook his head and quickly replied: "Not yet, but this time is different from before. There are a lot of people gathered, and there will be conflicts at the dock from time to time."

Everyone has a bad look on their faces. You must know that half of the country south of the Yangtze River relies on the Jinsha River for its final defense.

If the barbarians break through the natural barriers, Jiangnan will definitely not be saved, and Broken Gold Beach is less than a hundred miles away from the dock, so it will definitely be the first to suffer.

The old lady sighed, "What kind of world is this? Our family has gone south twice. We thought we were safe when we got here. But we still need to make more preparations..."

The Marquis waved his hand and comforted the old lady, "Don't worry, Auntie, the barbarians have been entrenched in the grassland since ancient times. They broke their own arms on the way south, and now they have to cross the river. They have no advantage, so there is nothing to fear for the time being."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm going to do some work."

"Oh, I forgot about business, and I kept you here talking about gossip. Go and get busy!" The old lady slapped her forehead in regret, and chased Mr. Hou away to deal with business.

Most of the winter, the Marquis lived in Zhuangzi and often came to chat with her. She was so used to it that she always forgot that he was still Tianwu's military lord.

What are you saying just now? If you are worried about the barbarians going south, doesn't that mean that he, a military prince, is useless?

The Marquis didn't pay attention and turned around and went out.

The old lady quickly told the children, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense after you go out, do you understand?"

“I know, grandma, don’t worry.” Jiaren quickly took the lead and assured.

Brother Li also nodded, and Brother Cat nodded in confusion, but he was more focused on the good things his brother bought back, and didn't pay any attention to what everyone said just now.

As for the good news, he is smarter than anyone else and doesn’t need any instructions at all.

That night, during dinner, the old lady asked the fourth child to call the Liu escorts, his wife and the village elder to have some fun together. After the table was removed, everyone gathered together to chat.

The old lady hugged her granddaughter and peeled fried peanuts for her. While talking about the war, she then suggested: "Should we start harvesting food again in the valley?"

The village chief nodded quickly, "Even if there is no such thing, I still want to say that our Suijintan will plant cold melons and cantaloupes on all the riverbanks this year. The fruit trees on the mountains are getting taller and taller, and we can no longer interplant millet. In autumn, At this time, there is no hope... The grain harvest here in the valley continues, and each family is stocking up more, and they feel confident. "

Of course, Liu Biaotou and his wife had no objection, so the matter was settled.

On the second day, news of the grain harvest was released.

Of course, guests who come to visit these days cannot immediately exchange their money for food, but guests who have made reservations in advance have been clearly informed.

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

In the valley, the men were soaking in the pool, with cloth towels on their heads. Someone mentioned this while drinking tea, and said: "I heard that the riverside is not peaceful. Look, the golden beach is starting to close." Food?”

The friend next to me asked, "Why do you say that? What does the collection of grain here as tickets have to do with the war on the riverside?"

The person who spoke earlier had no choice but to explain a few words in a low voice, "Don't look at whose name this Broken Gold Beach is. It's the Marquis of Xinting! The Marquis was guarding the defense line of the pier before. If he wasn't injured, he wouldn't be there." Will retreat. Now that Suijintan has begun to harvest food, it means that the war on the riverside is tense and we are starting to get scared. "

"Ah, so that's it... What should we do? When will the Marquis return to the pier?" The friend suddenly realized and asked subconsciously, for fear that the defense line would be breached.

The man who spoke said: "Why are you in a hurry? Even the court is not in a hurry! There are too many twists and turns. Can those who got the military power from the Marquis be willing to hand it over again? In a court, no one person has the final say..."

“You mean...”

“See it through but don’t tell it! This matter still has to be dealt with. We ordinary people can just live our lives honestly and enjoy it day by day. Who knows what will happen in the future.”

"Yeah, if nothing else, I'm afraid the white snow in front of me will melt away soon, and I'll have to wait until next winter to see it again." "Haha, I'm not afraid of that. The orchards on the mountain will bloom in a few days. When the time comes, it will be a rare and beautiful thing to soak in the hot springs among the falling flowers.”

“When the time comes, call Brother Wang and Brother Liu and bring two jars of good wine. How about we have a poetry party?”

“Then we must cover this valley!”

Not to mention the high spirits of the two people, even in Kyoto and in the court hall, there was a huge quarrel because of the sudden and fierce attack of the barbarians.

Previously, the veterans who proposed cutting military pay and rations were dumbfounded and kept their heads down, pretending to be confused.

On the other hand, the young courtiers seized the opportunity and started to quarrel with each other, almost tearing off the old minister's face. They were not polite at all.

Wen Shaoyuan stood in the corner and yawned secretly. At this time, their censor had no room to speak and could only watch the battle.

Yesterday, he moved out of the small rental house and moved directly into the inn. The inn was noisy, so naturally he didn't sleep well.

After the next court, he will have to find a place to stay again no matter what.

The worst case scenario is to ask Fatty Liu to borrow a courtyard to live in. The Liu family has a big business and always has a spare courtyard. I just wonder if my family will go crazy if they find out. I'm afraid the family will feel that the Wen family's reputation has been clear for hundreds of years, and he is the one who doesn't know how to live in it. The filial son is defiled!

Wen Shaoyuan finally made it to the next court, and there was still no result in the quarrel. We will continue tomorrow.

He followed the courtiers out of the palace gate and saw Wen Hai waiting beside a carriage.

"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to look at something?" Wen Shaoyuan asked anxiously.

There are a lot of books in his luggage and they are stored in the inn. If they are lost, it will be a huge loss.

Before Wen Hai could respond, as soon as the carriage door opened, Jiaren, who was wearing a plain gown, jumped out and said, "Teacher, my father and I are here to ask you to go do something together."

"Didn't you rush home? Why are you here again? Besides, it's not today..." Mr. Wen was surprised and wanted to say something about Wu Cuihua's burning head, but he swallowed it back.

Jiaren understood and said: "Teacher, don't worry, I came here after burning the paper for my mother. Sir, you'd better get in the car and change out of your official uniform. Your luggage is all in the car!"

Mr. Wen nodded and got into the carriage. Wen Hai jumped on the carriage, swung his whip and left.

Wen Hai glanced at each carriage and couldn't help feeling aggrieved for his master.

If no one from the Li family came and he was at the inn, the master would have to walk back from the next court.

Others’ homes were filled with cars and servants, but only his master was so shabby.

If the master never returns to the Wen family, he will support it. The old man has gone too far, and the old man and the old lady are too cruel!

Not to mention Wen Hai's inner murmur, complaining about his master's grievances, he only said that Mr. Wen changed his clothes in the carriage, looked at the book boxes again, and felt relieved, "This is my entire family fortune, since you have hijacked it." They', then I will be at your disposal for most of the day."

Li Laoer and Jiaren both laughed and felt a little relieved.

Mr. Wen can still joke and laugh, so he must not be too sad about his current embarrassing situation.

"A gentleman's words are hard to catch, and that gentleman has listened to us today!"
