Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 716 Eat Dumplings Tonight

After leaving the school, Wei Anxing went to the nearby shop to buy a catty of sauced beef and a few sesame seed cakes, which he carried in his hand.Carrying the setting sun all over the sky, I walked leisurely towards my home.His foot was injured, and he limped a little, looking very carefree.

At the entrance of the alley, neighbors greeted Wei Anxing, one Wei official at a time.Some people are respectful, some people are flattering.

Wei Anxing's expression remained unchanged, and he returned the salute respectfully one by one.

The people living in this area are all Jingxi people who returned after Wang Xiaolie occupied Hedong Road.Most of them returned to their hometowns, and some of them were originally officials, but due to various reasons, they were not verified clearly and lived here temporarily.

Wei Anxing is from Raozhou. His parents have left, so he stayed.A few days ago, several people from Xiping County proved that he was the master of Xiping.After being taken captive to Hedong by the Jin people, he has been making a living by doing odd jobs and did not serve as an official in the Jin Dynasty.The time was just right, so I enrolled with Zheng Gangzhong and others.

At the door of the house, Wei Anxing straightened his robes, stood in front of the door and said, "Yingniang, I'm back."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened from the inside.Yingniang stood at the door and said with a smile, "I came back so early today. My meal hasn't been cooked yet."

Wei Anxing said: "It's not too early. The sun has already set in the west, and it will be dark when we go home a little later, so what can we do?"

With that said, he lifted his leg and entered the door.He raised the things in his hands and said, "When I came back, I bought a catty of sauced beef and a few pancakes."

Yingniang took it over and said, "Beef is so expensive! Why are you willing to buy beef? With the money saved, I will make you a padded coat in winter."

Wei Anxing said: "I entered the school today, and my identity has been found out. After I went out today, I asked Liu Ganban, and he said that my salary has been counted from the day I reported to the army. It has been a few months. .Within ten days, the calculation will be clear, and the money will be paid at that time."

Yingniang whispered: "Really send money? You haven't done anything in the past few months, and you haven't checked your identity. You will make up for it!"

Wei Anxing said: "We have been in Luoyang for a few months, and you still haven't noticed it? Under the rule of Xuanfu, as long as the government said it, it will be done. We people have already said it. As long as the identity is checked, the salary will be guaranteed. Make it up in one go. There are dozens of punctures!"

After hearing this, Yingniang stood at the door in a daze for a while.Said: "If dozens of pennies are really distributed, our life will be much better."

Wei Anxing stretched out his arms: "Yeah, it was much better then. After several years of hard work, it finally paid off. By the way, is there any news about your parents?"

Yingniang said: "A few days ago, I met a fellow villager who said that my parents fled to the border of Guangzhou and lived there. It was just a hard journey, and my younger brother couldn't make it. Unfortunately, he passed away. I am going to write a letter to , let parents come to Luoyang, and we will take care of them in their old age."

"Okay, okay, it should be." Wei Anxing nodded repeatedly. "Going through this catastrophe and being able to survive, God has treated us well. If we can be reunited as a family, what a wonderful day it would be!"

After finishing speaking, Wei Anxing picked up the wine gourd next to him, shook it, and slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot to buy wine! Just wait, I'll get some wine!"

Yingniang said: "You go to school today, and I'm going to drink dumplings. A few days ago, I just learned how to make stuffing and how to wrap it with my grandma who was staying behind, but I don't know how it tastes. Three taels of meat should be fragrant."

Wei Anxing smiled and said: "This is the best. I only heard people say that dumplings are delicious. We don't know how to make dumplings, and we can't afford them when we go out. You made them today, so you must taste it! Put the sesame seeds first, and we will make them." Breakfast tomorrow."

After speaking, he bid farewell to Yingniang, and walked towards the tavern with big strides.

When the Jin army broke through Xiping, Wei Anxing was slightly injured and was taken captive by the Jin people all the way north.When he arrived at Longde Mansion, Wei Anxing fell ill and was thrown there.Later, it miraculously recovered and lived there.I have been doing odd jobs all the time, and I don't know how much I have suffered.The broken finger was cut off by the golden men when Wei Anxing went to the battlefield.The injury on the leg was the result of being beaten and scolded by the Jin people when he went north, and a leg was broken, and there was no treatment, which was the last injury left.

In the past few years in Longde Mansion, Wei Anxing only had two rags on his body, and he didn't have enough to eat. The winter was really hard.The year before last, the dying Yingniang was rescued in a mass grave outside the city, and the two have lived together ever since.It is difficult for Wei Anxing to live alone, and Yingniang is even more difficult.The two lived in the Longde Mansion, living like human beings, ghosts like ghosts, and living hard.

Xie Linong went north, and all those who were taken captive by the golden soldiers were asked to go home.It turns out that if you are an official, as long as you prove it clearly, you can be an official on Jingxi Road.Those who don't want to be on Jingxi Road should send money to them and let them go there.

Wei Anxing was injured all over, so he could only reluctantly return to Luoyang with others to recuperate his body.Although their identities have not been clarified yet, the Henan government still gives Wei Anxing and Yingniang five guan a month and arranges a place to live.

Five strings of money is enough for two people's lives.It's just that life was too hard in the past few years, and I have been saving flowers.Yingniang figured out that she would save two bucks a month, and each of them could make a cotton padded coat in winter.The winter in Longde Mansion is too cold, and it has been really frightening for the past few years.

Now that his identity has been finally found out, he will be paid more than a dozen yuan a month, and Wei Anxing suddenly doesn't know how to spend so much money.eat meat?eat fish?If you eat it once a month, you can't spend it all.Do you eat it every day?Wei Anxing has long forgotten that there is such a life in the world.

When he came back from drinking, he saw Yingniang standing by the pot and eating dumplings.Wei Anxing opened the beef and placed it on the table, took two pairs of chopsticks, one for Yingniang and one for himself.Put it neatly, you can't be sloppy eating meat once.

After the dumplings were cooked, Yingniang brought them out.He said to Wei Anxing: "I went to buy meat today, how could the official Zheng be willing to sell it? There is no way, I bought a catty and a half with the Qin and Xu officials next to me. I cut a small piece, it's not good Taking advantage of others."

Wei Anxing said: "We poor people eat meat just for taste, why so much!"

Yingniang smiled and said: "That's the reason. I made the stuffing according to the method taught by Grandma Sun. Try it to see if it tastes good."

Wei Anxing said: "Sit down too, let's eat together. In Luoyang city, everyone said the beef cooked here is delicious, and I bought a catty today. It's about to send money, and we can live a rich life. Dun Dun I can eat enough, and occasionally I can eat a meal of meat!"

Yingniang took off her apron and sat down at the table.He picked up the wine jug, poured a jug of wine, and poured it for Wei Anxing.

Wei Anxing said: "This wine is not strong, you have a drink too. Let's gossip while drinking."

After hearing this, Yingniang picked up the jug and poured herself a glass.

Picking up the wine glass, Wei Anxing said with some emotion: "This gourd was given to me by the official Yu when he became an official. It's been almost a month, and today I finally made a gourd of wine. Sigh, thinking of these years, I really can't bear to look back !"

Yingniang said: "It's all over, why bother thinking about it. From now on, let's live a good life and forget about the days in Hedong."

Wei Anxing nodded, picked up the wine glass, and drank it down.

Yingniang picked up the flagon and filled Wei Anxing's wine silently.Said: "Today we have wine, meat, and dumplings. After so many years, we finally have such a day. I hope that in the future, I will not suffer any more and live my life in peace like this."
