Chapter 1143 A distinguished guest is coming to the Lu Mansion!
The other two Li Zheng also nodded and pulled the village chief's sleeves as if jokingly begging.
“Brother, my family trusts you the most. I have almost entrusted you with this golden beach. Didn’t my family reveal some information to you?”
“Yes, brother, tell us a few words.”
The village chief was still vague, "It's no big deal. We ordinary people live our lives honestly at all times, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
Uncle Zhao, on the other hand, had a bad temper and shouted something out loud.
"What do you have to ask? It's so obvious. The Queen Mother is dead, the imperial concubine is in the cold palace, the prince has chosen his concubine, and the princess is married. Who is left in the palace?"
Jing Li was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed.
Who is left in the palace and nothing happened?
Of course it’s the Emperor!
Several people took a breath of air, shut their mouths, and did not dare to ask any more questions.
The village chief glared at Uncle Zhao and tried his best to look back to make amends.
“Oh, if Old Zhao drinks too much, he will talk nonsense. The Tianwu Kingdom is peaceful and the people are safe, and life is going well.”
“Yes, yes, the country is peaceful and the people are safe.”
“Yes, yes, we are just ordinary people. We work hard to farm and live our lives at all times.”
Jing Lizheng and others also hurriedly agreed, shouting and pouring wine, and talked about family shortcomings.
As the sun set in the west, the village chief and Lao Zhao got into the car drunkenly and said goodbye to everyone.
After the carriage was far away, the three of Jing, Lizheng and Jing got together to discuss it, and then they all hurried back to their respective villages.
Don't worry about the truth or falsehood, don't worry about the changes in the city, just follow the footsteps of Xincun.
So, soon the villagers in the three villages received the news that the village was closed!
No entry or exit is allowed.
Everyone in the village, old or young, was squatting in the village.
When I had nothing to do, I went to carry water. Carrying a bucket of water can only support a few crops.
Sleep when you are tired from carrying water, so naturally you have no other thoughts...
The village chief and Lao Zhao lay on the carriage, paying no attention to anything, and allowed the old horse pulling the cart to pull them home.
Lao Zhao looked at the setting sun on the horizon and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother, our boat should have gone very far, right?"
“Yes, I guess it’s more than two hundred miles away.” The village chief smiled bitterly, “I’m afraid my old lady is scolding me!”
Old Zhao laughed and responded, "My sister-in-law usually has a good temper, but I don't care about you. I'm afraid she is really angry this time. You can wait until we meet later to deal with it!"
The village chief sighed, "If we meet again in the future, I will accept whatever she wants to do to deal with her."
The two large ships heading south are currently docked at the dock of a small county town, waiting for the family's cargo ship to come and join them.
There are many checkpoints on the way south. The two ships have no cargo and only a few hundred old, young, women and children. It is really eye-catching.
But it makes sense for several of the family’s cargo ships to travel together and spread out the people.
Because everyone was leaving in a hurry, the family's cargo ship had to be loaded, so it was one day behind. We would not be able to catch up until noon tomorrow.
Jiaan, Mao Geer, Zhimin, Xiujie, and Guo Wenhao were all busy, helping the guards of the Hou Mansion patrol the two boats to guard against prying eyes from outsiders, or if a child ran off the boat because of ignorance.
Jia Huan took over the back warehouse and was responsible for the shopping and three meals a day for everyone.
Liu Biaotou took the people in a small boat and floated outside, waiting to pick up the family's cargo ship.
Mr. Jiang led the children to continue studying. His teaching was not rigid and he never followed the textbook.
At this time, he would point to the county town outside the boat and explain to the children the history of the county town, who has produced it, and what specialties it has... In the shade behind the boat, women such as Tao Hongying and Wan'er were doing needlework. Gossip.
Aunt Wu always had a bad look on her face. She had clearly agreed with the old man to stay in the village, and the old man agreed. How could she have imagined that he would actually lie to her!
Tao Hongying heard Aunt Wu breathing heavily and quickly exchanged glances with her niece-in-law.
Wan'er understood and pulled the needle and thread in her hand and asked Aunt Wu, "Auntie, look at the bellyband I embroidered for Yuanyuan. Why does the bird look more and more like a duck the more it is embroidered?"
Aunt Wu is good at embroidery and also likes embroidery. When she lowered her head and looked at it, she immediately said, "The color of your embroidery thread is wrong, and there are too many embroidery on the edges."
After saying that, she took it and helped to correct it.
Wan'er smiled and praised beside her, "Auntie is really amazing! I was very envious of Aunt Huiniang before. Most of the clothes and pants for her twins were sewn by her, and they were all exquisite.
"It's just that Aunt Huiniang has been taking her children to Quanzhou for a long time. The two children must have grown a lot now, and I'm afraid they won't be able to fit into their original clothes."
Tao Hongying immediately said, "What does it matter? We will be there in a few days. With my aunt by my side, the two children will still need new clothes."
“Hui Niang said she misses my aunt almost every day. Suddenly I saw my aunt arriving. I don’t know how happy she will be.”
Sure enough, Aunt Wu looked much better when she thought of her goddaughter and grandchildren.
"The soil and water in the south support people, so the two children must have grown up a lot, right? I wonder if they remember me, my grandmother?"
Tao Hongying said quickly, "You must remember that, children are the smartest. They will kiss whoever treats them well. You must know that they were raised by the aunt since they were young, how could they forget!"
The other women also talked about some interesting things about raising children, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Tao Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and started sewing.
She was not good at it, and she was worried about home, so she sewed the half skirt in her hand into a mess.
Wan'er silently took the needle and thread, and then put her son into her aunt's arms...
Things are unpredictable and no one knows what will happen in the next moment.
It’s nothing more than soldiers coming to cover up the water and earth.
Do what you can do, and calmly face those things you cannot do...
Under the same sky, different people are busy.
At the southwest border, there is the largest and most magnificent mansion in the middle of the city.
The mansion is home to the young and old of the Lu family who have guarded the border for generations. General Lu has a different surname and is named king, which is enough to show that he has great military achievements and is loyal.
Even though he is nearly fifty years old, he still dresses neatly and leads people to patrol the border every day. He works conscientiously and never refuses to be lazy.
This is also the reason why people throughout the southwest border highly respect and trust him.
It can be said that here, some people are disrespectful to the imperial court, but absolutely no one will be disrespectful to General Lu!
As the sun set in the west, General Lu rode his horse to the door. He jumped off his horse, threw the whip and reins to the guards, and asked loudly, "Where is the distinguished guest?"
The butler who had just greeted us immediately said, "Back to the general, the distinguished guest has been invited to the study room, and Commander Shen is accompanying him to drink tea."
The old general nodded and immediately strode to the backyard, washed off the wind and sand, changed into light home clothes, and then went to the study.
The guard guarding the door saw his master approaching and quickly opened the door.
The old general strode in and saw two people sitting in the room. One was his most trusted military advisor and his best friend throughout his life, and the other was a young master.
This young man looks to be in his twenties. He is dressed in a moon-white silver robe with dark patterns and floral patterns. His black hair is **** with a mutton-fat jade hairpin, which makes his slightly thin face a little softer.
Had it not been for the tanned skin, going out like this, I would definitely be able to bear the words "a young man like a jade".
