Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 317

"Goofy, where's your mother?"

Dragging his tired body, Jia Yan's dark face was full of doubts. He looked at his son with big characters written on the desk and chair, and asked loudly.

"Father, are you back?"

Gouzi put down the pen and paper, and took the bag from his father. At the age of eight, he is still not strong enough to carry things weighing tens of catties.

"Let me come!" Jia Yan shook his head, took off the bamboo basket on his back, and put it inside the house.

In the heavy bamboo baskets, there are not only winter clothes and leather boots, but also many captured battlefields. The dead and prisoners are the easiest way to make money.

"Father, mother went to the station in the city to rent a mule cart. The summer harvest is coming soon, so I have to go to the fields to see."

Gouzi watched Jia Yan take out things one by one, including gold and silver jewelry, a piece of cotton cloth, and even some pens and paper.

"Mother, she's eight months old, why is she still going out?" Jia Yan scolded, "I don't know what to do, so I have to think about our Jia family's seeds!"

After cursing a few words, he pointed to something and said:

"This cotton cloth was rewarded by the King of Yu. Make it a swaddle for your younger brother. You have to get a decent robe to wear when you go to school."

"But, Dad, it's hot today!"

Gouzi glanced at the scorching sun outside, and said helplessly.

"You know what a fart. Let your mother do it first. In a few months, it will be ready to wear in autumn. My son can't be compared to others."

Jia Yan snorted, took out two more books, and said, "Your father bought these on purpose, but it took some merit."

Gouzi saw that it was "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", both of which were official school editions, and he was overjoyed at once: "Thank you, dad."

"Thanks for that, you earned it by looking hard!"

Jia Yan raised his head proudly, and immediately patted his son on the head, saying: "Study hard, get a scholar and come out on top, and let your father enjoy the happiness."

Gouzi nodded fiercely.

You know, only the husband has the official version of the book, and everyone else is copying the book, which is very precious!

After a while, the mother-in-law, with her waist up and her big belly, came back sweating profusely. When she saw her husband, she said happily, "Master, you are back."

"came back."

Jia Yan hurriedly supported her, looked at the big belly, and couldn't help being happy: "Don't run around, there is still someone in your belly!"

"I know." The woman nodded, with sharp eyes, she immediately saw the luggage in the corner, and said happily:
"You have memorized a lot this time."

"There are a lot of thieves." Jia Yan said with a high air: "It was defeated with a bang, and we got a lot of good things."

"Ok?"

Suddenly, I saw the woman stretch out her right hand and poke him in the mouth.

Jia Yan was puzzled.

"Where's Tian Qi?" Auntie asked.

"I didn't ask for Tian Qi this time."

Jia Yan shook his head, seeing that the woman was about to get angry, he smiled and said:
"Listen to me, when I come back this time, I will be rewarded for my merits. I have been promoted to the captain, and there are hundreds of people under my command, and I know a lot of news."

"It's been said secretly that the land in Huguang is almost divided, and it will be allocated to Henan next."

"Henan?" The woman said loudly, "Where is that?"

"I came back from there and walked for a long time without seeing anyone."

Jia Yan had lingering fears and said, "Fortunately, merit points can be exchanged for many things now, such as houses, donkeys, cows, armor..."

"Master, what did you change?"

The woman asked impatiently.

"This time I'm going to Xi'an, the minimum merit is eight points, we are eight points, I just want to stop renting a house and change to our own house."

"Can I change it?"

Auntie was very pleasantly surprised.

"I can change it, it's exactly eight o'clock."

Jia Yan was a little puzzled, but still said: "However, I can only change to a single room, which is similar to this. There is no yard, and the dog has grown up, so I can't live in the hall all the time, right?"

"Oh!" The woman was a little disappointed.

"However, I found out that it costs ten o'clock for the first entrance, twelve o'clock for the second entrance, and twenty o'clock for the third entrance."

Jia Yandao: "We're going to fight in Nanjing next time, at least five or six o'clock. We're enough for two."

"On the market, how many hundred silver dollars can you get?"

"That's good." The woman patted her chest and said happily, "Next time I can be hospitalized."

The whole family burst into smiles instantly.

At this time, Gouzi suddenly said: "Father, Uncle Tang came back to visit everyone a few days ago and said he bought a three-in-one yard..."

Jia Yan's expression changed suddenly.

clap clap-

The sound of the dog crying sounded and spread throughout the yard.

……

At this time, Wang Chunqing was wearing neat clothes, and under the leadership of Yaren, he came to the courtyard to look at the house.

After a trip to Xi'an, he not only turned into a soldier, but also became a superintendent, and his money bag became richer.

Considering that I will be stationed in Xiangyang in the future, I will need a place during the ten-day break, so I asked Yaren to rent it.

"Although there are four families here, they are all warm-hearted. There is also a military master like you, all of them are decent..."

Yaren grinned in front of him, pointed to the slightly dilapidated hut in front of him, and said, "In this house, there was a man who made a fortune, and the feng shui is prosperous!"

"Get rich?" Wang Chunqing looked at the roof with holes exposed: "What kind of business is he?"

"This..." Yaren hesitated, but seeing that Wang Chunqing's expression was wrong, he could only bite the bullet and say, "I heard that he is from the search department..."

"Search Department?" Wang Chunqing narrowed his eyes, turned and left.

"Sixty Wen, it can't be lower, and you need fifteen Wen a day to do manual labor at the Xiangyang Wharf!"

The dental man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

"Fifty! This is the lowest price."

"Fine!"

Wang Chunqing looked back and said with a smile: "However, you have to help me repair the roof."

After pressing the thumbprint, Wang Chunqing was in a good mood and patrolled the room.

Suddenly, I heard the cry of a child.

Others in the courtyard didn't take it seriously, but instead watched the excitement:

"The dog has a very good voice!"

"I heard that his mother weighs fish for meat every now and then, is it bad for her health?"

"That's right, I still have to be a soldier to be happy. I eat and drink with Yu Wang, and I wear two clothes a year. The salary I get is real!"

……

"A soldier?"

Wang Chunqing was taken aback, and then approached immediately. Through the gate, he saw a burly man sitting puffy, and a child beside him was crying and rubbing his buttocks.

"Brother, which battalion are you from?"

Wang Chunqing said with a bit of respect.

"I?" Jia Yan looked this person up and down, and then proudly said: "I am in Ming En Camp, but I followed His Highness in Tongguan before, and I was separated later."

"Next is Wang Chunqing from Mingjie Camp!"

"Oh!"

Jia Yan knew about Liu Tingjie, he asked bluntly, "Why haven't I seen you before, are you a new neighbor?"

"I just saw it, and I happen to be your neighbor."

Wang Chunqing had already sharpened his edges and corners in the military camp, and said with a smile.

After some conversation, the two talked happily.

"Brother, don't exchange land for meritorious deeds. I heard that they will be distributed to Henan."

Jia Yan persuaded sincerely.

"I know!"

Wang Chunqing nodded and said, "Brother, I'm going to change the house, and I just want to start a family and start a business."

As he said that, he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my thirties, and I don't have a woman yet!"

"So we still have to fight hard and earn meritorious service!" Jia Yan said with emotion.

"Yeah, it's good to fight, don't stop!"

Wang Chunqing said eagerly.

"It's better to follow King Yu, I have everything!"

"Yes, this life is worth the price."
