Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 146

The painters raised in the county yamen not only received a salary as a yamen servant, but also a reward of silver.This reward silver is the bounty for fugitives, and the amount is generally [-] to [-]% of the bounty.

But many of those portraits are not like the ones drawn, and it is difficult to catch the fugitives. Even if they are caught, at most a [-]% bounty will be offered.If the portrait brought by Gu Jin'an had a high chance of catching the fugitive, the father-in-law would definitely give him [-]% of the bounty.

Gu Jin'an knew very well that his family had no money or power, and he couldn't miss this opportunity if he wanted to become famous, so he nodded immediately: "Sir, the students are willing."

Shang Xiucai laughed: "Okay, I'll arrange this matter, you have to practice this kind of painting skills a little bit more proficiently during this period of time."

The two paintings brought today were obviously written by two people.One painting is smooth and natural, while the other is drawn with more rigid lines. It is the kind of tangible and spiritless work, and it should be the work of Gu Jin'an.

Gu Jin'an stood up, bowed and said, "Student understands."

Shang Xiucai raised his hand and signaled him to sit down, knowing that the third grandpa and the others came to beg him to find someone, so he asked about the situation of Gu Fuya and Gu Daya's family.

The third grandfather said: "Fuya married Xie Pingzi from Xiejiaping, Changping Town. Pingzi is 35 years old this year, the third child of the old Xie family. The husband and wife have two sons and a daughter. The eldest son is fifteen this year, and his name is Xie Jingxian; The son is thirteen years old and his name is Xie Jingmin; the younger daughter is ten years old and his name is Xie Jianing..."

The third grandfather explained the situation of Gu Fuya's family in great detail, from how old Gu Fuya was, who he married into, where he lived, and what he did for a living.

"When we were fleeing famine, we went to Changping Town to look for it, but the people in the town said that when they returned to Xiejiaping, the grocery store had already been closed."

The third grandpa only had such a daughter. He only wanted his daughter to marry a good family in this life. He never thought of asking his daughter to recruit a relative to carry on the family.

The husband and wife had favored Gu Fuya early on, and finally married Gu Fuya to Xie Lao San in Xiejiaping when Gu Fuya was 15 years old.

Xie Lao San's father and the third grandfather are good brothers. When they were young, they often went to various places to dig wells and work together. The third grandfather trusted the Xie family, so he married his only daughter to the third son of the Xie family.

The third grandfather has a good vision. The Xie family treats Gu Fuya very well. Xie Pingzi has known Fuya since he was a child. The relationship between the couple is very good. Pingzhen opened a grocery store, the husband and wife took their children to look after the store, and they lived a very good life.

But after a drought, all good days are gone.The wells in Changping Town were dry, so Xie Pingzi and Gu Fuya had to take their children back to Xiejiaping.

When the third grandpa and the others came to Xiejiaping, there was no one in Xiejiaping, and all the people in Pingzi had fled collectively.

"We originally thought that if everyone walked faster, we could always run over them, but we came all the way from famine and asked everywhere, but there was no news." The third grandfather said, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Shang Xiucai wrote down all the things that the third grandfather said on paper, and after the third grandfather finished speaking, he asked the third grandfather a few more questions, and after making up what he had missed, he asked Gu Dashan: "Brother Gu, elder sister of the Gu family What's going on with the family?"

Gu Dashan took out a yellowed letter from the cloth bag he carried with him, and handed it to Shang Xiucai: "This is the letter brought to me by my aunt, and her family's situation is all on it."

Gu Dashan kept this letter with him, fearing that one day he would forget about the situation of Da Ya's family, and he would not be able to find his sister in the future.

Shang Xiucai opened the letter and saw that the handwriting on it had already been damp and blurred. It took him more than a quarter of an hour to read the contents of this letter.

Gu Daya was married to Daaozi Village, Huaizi Town, Mingshan County. From the name, one could tell that it was a poor mountain valley. The man she married was named Qi, who had no real name, and had a nickname named Qi Panzi.

This letter was received by Gu Dashan when he was 17 years old. At that time, Gu Daya had been running with Qi Panzi for nearly two years, gave birth to a son, and was pregnant with another child. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl.

The situation is such a situation, very limited.

Shang Xiucai wrote down the situation of Mrs. Gu's family according to what was written in the letter, and after writing down the situation, he said: "I will send Lao Luo to Fucheng to deliver the news to my father-in-law, and let him help to find out the victims of the disaster. Please stay at home and wait for the news, and I will let you know as soon as there is news.”

The third grandfather and the others were very grateful, and the third grandfather asked again: "It's almost March, why haven't these victims been resettled yet? Has the drought in the northwest been relieved?"

They are now in He'an Mansion in the Jianghuai River, thousands of miles away from the northwest, and they don't know the situation in the northwest, whether the drought that caused everyone's homelessness has been resolved, if not, then Great Chu will really end.

Shang Xiucai said: "At the beginning of February, the residence newspaper said that there was a heavy snowfall in the northwest, and the drought was relieved. The victims who are now assigned are not those who fled the famine because of the drought, but the disaster of the army."

Because of the drought, many military disasters occurred in the northwest to the northeast of Dachu, and even Zhongzhou.The people who had escaped the drought were deeply trapped in the military disaster, so they could only continue to flee to the south.

The imperial court issued a strict order not to allow the victims to cross the river into the south of the Yangtze River, so they had to resettle the victims in the Jianghuai prefectures, and then there were new victims who needed to be resettled.

The third grandfather and Gu Dashan were terrified: "It turned out to be a military disaster!"

What farmers fear most is not natural disasters, but military disasters.Sometimes natural disasters can be overcome, but military disasters will kill people on the spot.

The third grandfather and Gu Dashan were very scared, shaking their hands and asking: "What should I do?"

If Fuya and Daya's family were to encounter military disasters, what would happen?

Shang Xiucai looked at the appearance of the third grandfather and Gu Dashan, and comforted him: "Uncle Gu, Brother Gu, don't worry. The imperial court has sent a large army to quell the disaster, and now we have won a few games. The military disaster in Zhongzhou has disappeared. There are also good news from there, but the northwest is more difficult."

The northwest is the territory of the Duke of Wei, but Emperor Jing Yuan was afraid of the Duke of Wei, regardless of the suffering of the people in the drought, took the opportunity to destroy the Duke of Wei, and seized the military power of the Duke of Wei in the northwest. It may take some time to quell the military disaster in the Northwest.

"However, the two sisters of the Gu family left the northwest during the drought, so they will not be affected by the war."

As long as you don't escape to the northeast, you'll be fine.

But Shang Xiucai didn't say that, it just made the third grandfather and Gu Dashan worry.

The third grandfather and Gu Dashan knew that the military disaster was not something that the common people could contend with, and they could only resign themselves to fate.

After talking about Gu Fuya and Gu Daya's family, they left Shangjia Village and returned to Dafeng Village.

After they left Shang's house, one of them jumped out of the bamboo forest, adjusted his clothes, came to the door of Shang's house, and knocked on the door of Shang's house.

This person is none other than Gu Dexing who has always wanted to worship Shang Xiucai as his teacher.
