Reborn Wangjia's little koi, reclaiming wasteland and farming to become the richest man

Chapter 85 Tan Xiaojian

Hearing what Zheng Ling said, Qi Zhang could only agree, he let Zheng Ling go down, and said helplessly to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"It's getting late, I'll arrange a military tent for you to rest first, since Ah Ji said to let him think of a way, he won't take it seriously, it's okay, brother will not ignore you."

As long as Sheng Jiaojiao is unwilling to marry, Qi Zhang will not let her marry even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes.

So now we can only plan in this way.

She looked obviously a little tired, and Tan Xiaojian led the way to rest in the small tent behind Qi Zhang's tent.

Qi Ada has been a soldier for 15 years. Although he is retired now, he is familiar with the rules and regulations of the barracks, so he doesn't need Tan Xiaojian to take him with him.

Tan Xiaojian tidied the bed in the small tent for Sheng Jiaojiao, and said with a smile:

"Jiao Niang, our military camp is different from my elder brother's East camp. Our west camp is very rough. You have to be wronged for a night. I will bring you new bedding. Don't go out to wander around at night. You are afraid that some people will come from other places. The military master doesn't know you."

Just as he was talking, a group of military masters passed by the front tent, jokingly saying that they were going to buy prostitutes in the military dormitory, and Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting in the small military tent, couldn't help being fascinated by what he heard.

She knew that after the victory in the battle, the soldiers in the barracks could go to the military dormitory to relax for a while. The military dormitory was full of the female relatives of criminal officials who had been convicted and demoted to it.

If they won the favor of the military master in the military dormitory, these ladies might be redeemed from slavery and become good citizens.

Will Tan Ji go?
"Jiao Niang, Jiao Niang?"

Tan Xiaojian didn't hear Sheng Jiaojiao's response, so while making the bed, he looked back at Sheng Jiaojiao, and he confessed again with a little worry,
"Jiao Niang, you must not go out and run around at night. Many soldiers have drunk tonight. I am afraid that they will be blind and offend you."

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting by the side, came back to her senses, nodded, and said in a low voice:

"I can save it."

He looked at Tan Xiaojian again, he still had a lot of childishness on his face, and he was only a few years older than Qi Rong, but the sons of Zhishou County had almost all entered the military camp at this age.

In the bright yellow candlelight, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled at Tan Xiaojian, and then sighed:

"When I saw you, I just thought, in a few years, the four members of my family may also enter the barracks."

She smiled, as if a hundred flowers were in full bloom, with a kind of shocking beauty.

Tan Xiaojian bowed his head in embarrassment, scratched his own head, and said in embarrassment:

"There's nothing good about being a soldier. Maybe in a few years, by the time Shiro joins the army, the war for the same country has already been over."

He and the boys like Zheng Ling had bad luck. Daze hadn't fought wars for more than ten years, but as soon as they joined the army, the vassal state began to change.

During this period of time, Tan Xiaojian saw many sons of Zhishou County die in front of him, and killed many subjects. He also used the sword in his hand to slit the throats of subjects.

At this time, Tan Xiaojian, compared to the boy who was still looking forward to the majesty of the military master a few months ago, had a very different thinking.

Can live well, who is willing to die?
But they can't go to death, the ones who go to death are the old and weak women and children in Zhishou County. A bright and beautiful girl like Sheng Jiaojiao will become a plaything of the country.

Therefore, it is an honor to fight for protection.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat in the tent, looking at the shy boy in front of her, she knew that Tan Xiaojian died very early.

When the two countries are at war, there will be no undead.

But Tan Xiaojian's death was meaningless, he died in the palace coup launched by the Yin clan.

Overnight, the camp of brothers who had treated each other with sincerity and sworn blood as an alliance, because someone in the Yin royal family was dissatisfied with the abolition of the prince's succession, launched a mutiny. The fourth battalion under Tan Ji's command has been used by Yin Ze.

At that time, Tan Xiaojian had taken over the position of the dead Qi Zhang and became the battalion commander of the West Camp.

There was still a hint of childishness on his face, but he had already died under the knife of the brother camp.

The whole of Daze was trying to wipe out Yin Ze's forces in the army. The Yin clan used all their strength in the army to turn Yin Ze and the new emperor into a pair of puppet father and son.

The power struggle of the upper class is just to win more benefits for the clan, but the dead are all the good boys under the feet of the powerful.

Looking at the kid in front of her, Sheng Jiaojiao's fingers hidden in her sleeves trembled, Yin Ze was a disaster, staying away from Yin Ze, avoiding these unnecessary internal struggles would save the lives of many good men in Zhishou County.

"Jiao Niang? Jiao Niang, what are you thinking?"

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao staring at him in a daze, Tan Xiaojian couldn't help asking?
Sheng Jiaojiao moved her fingers, gently touched the bank note in the sleeve through the sleeve, and said:

"I'm just thinking, you miserable people, what should you do in the future? After a battle, so many people died, and the emperor doesn't care about you. The king of Zhishou County only knows how to flatter the emperor, and doesn't care about your life and death. , what should I do with the families of the sons who died in battle?"

During this period of time, she also had a little understanding of why Tan Ji lived alone all his life. He was afraid that he would die early on the battlefield and implicate his wife and children.

The last time she went to Tan Ji's house, it would not be an exaggeration to describe this Tan family's house as bare.

The reason why they are poor is because the Tan family is a loyal family. In a big battle more than ten years ago, only Uncle Tan with a broken leg and a child, Tan Ji, were left.

Tan Xiaojian was born later.

Thinking about how difficult the life of the Tan family has been in the past ten years.

When Sheng Jiaojiao went out, she brought a few bank notes with her. She didn't think about what she would do with the money. She thought about giving it to Tan Ji. She wanted to persuade him to break the oath and make a false engagement with her, at least to eliminate some of the money. The scruples in his heart made him not have to worry about his afterlife.

But for a son like him, giving him money might still humiliate him.

Sheng Jiaojiao began to think about how to make this matter more appropriate.

I only heard Tan Xiaojian say:
"My brother and our battalion commander have been using the trophies we robbed as pensions these days. Since the superiors don't care about our aftermath, then the trophies we robbed desperately will not be handed over."

Hearing this, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, she nodded,

"It should have been like this a long time ago, but your spoils are only so little, and after the pension is paid, it will be gone. There should be a better way to make money make money, so that we can be self-sufficient regardless of the imperial capital and the county king. Don't worry anymore."

As soon as she said this, Tan Xiaojian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"How does money make money?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll camp with you after I think about it. Your elder brother will explain in detail."

With a smile on her face, Sheng Jiaojiao chatted with Tan Xiaojian a few more times, and after waiting for him to go out, Sheng Jiaojiao secretly ran out of the small tent and went to the medical tent.

She was extremely risky in doing this, as Tan Xiaojian explained, Qi Zhang's rule was not as strict as Tan Ji's, so there were quite a few soldiers who drank tonight.

If she meets someone who doesn't understand, and bumps into Sheng Jiaojiao, I'm afraid she won't be able to save someone, so she'll want to kill someone first.

So she sneaked outside the medical tent, and while she was busy inside, she filled a water tank outside the medical tent, filled it with her water, and Sheng Jiaojiao hurried back to her tent.

Early the next morning, Sheng Jiaojiao and Qi Ada started their return journey.

That night in Xiying, Sheng Jiaojiao's spirit was very weak.

She rode the horse without saying a word, and hurried back to Huangtu Village with her uncle.

Horses were not allowed in the village, so Qi Ada and Sheng Jiaojiao could only lead the horses into the village. After passing the village entrance, Qi Ada led Sheng Jiaojiao's horse out.

He looked at Sheng Jiaojiao hesitantly, and saw her eyes were looking into the distance, her brows were tightly furrowed.

"Uncle first go to the militia to return the horse."

Qi Ada sighed, and said distressedly:

"It's okay, ah, girl, turn around and talk to your elder brother again, let him tie Tan Ji up, and tie him up in front of you."

Upon hearing uncle's words, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help but chuckle, she turned her head and said to Qi Ada:
"Uncle, I'm fine, I don't have to ask Tan Ji, you go, I'm really fine, alas~~ go."

In the end, Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help but began to act like a baby, and indeed it wasn't because of Tan Ji, she just couldn't figure it out.

The problem is not big.

She knew that Tan Ji had no intention of getting married at all, so she expected that if it was a fake engagement and Qi Zhang said it, Tan Ji would definitely agree.

He disagreed, and it was indeed out of Sheng Jiaojiao's opinion.

Sheng Jiaojiao's mind is a bit big now, she pushes herself to be considerate of others, thinking that after solving the worries of these soldiers who died in battle, perhaps an outstanding son like Tan Ji will not be afraid of getting married.

That's why she acted a little dazed.

Qi Ada still left uneasy. He was going to the militia to return the horse. Sheng Jiaojiao entered the village alone, and the wind and sand blew through her clothes.

The smoky gray dress fluttered in the wind.

When I approached my yard, I found that the children in the yard were shaking their heads and reciting the "San Zi Jing".

Sheng Jiaojiao was a little strange for a while, she had something to do these few days, and she had already made an agreement with those children that she didn't have to come to school these few days.

Why are there still children endorsing books here?Turning around a tree, she found that Wenxiu, who was supposed to be doing embroidery at her home, was walking back and forth in front of a group of children sitting on the ground with her waist supported and her big belly sticking out.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao came back, Wenxiu blushed and supported her stomach, explaining to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"I see that these children come here every day. You haven't started classes for two days in a row. They all want to go to school, so let them enter the yard to recite first."

"Have you ever read a book?"

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Wenxiu, and seeing her nodding, Sheng Jiaojiao took her hand and led her into the main room.

And said:

"That's great. What books have you read? Tell me in detail."

Wenxiu was dispatched from Nanjun to Zhishou County.

Nanjun is not the southernmost county of Daze, and there is a county between it and Jin State, so it does not intersect with Jin State, and the environment is relatively stable.

But because it is too far to the south, there is plenty of rain all year round and the weather is smooth. It is a real land of fish and rice in Daze.

Almost everyone there goes to private schools, and girls go to school just like sons, and when they get old, they also go to boudoir schools.

Although the things learned in the boudoir school are different from what the boys learn, the girls in the boudoir school already know the four books and five classics, and it is even easy to recite poems and compose poems.

Wenxiu answered Sheng Jiaojiao's question in detail. She had indeed read a lot of books. Before she was sent to Zhishou County, her family was also from a scholarly family, and there were elders in the family who were officials in the imperial capital.

It's just that because of being implicated by the princelings, the whole family sat together years ago and was dispatched here.

The deposed prince was sent here after being imprisoned in the palace for a year.

Sheng Jiaojiao was sitting on the chair, with one hand lightly resting on the arm of the chair, leaning on her body, looking at Wenxiu who was sitting next to her,

"Since Mrs. Zhang has come to our Zhishou County, let's live a good life. The past is over. If you are too attached to the past, you will lose the fun of the present."

According to Sheng Jiaojiao's understanding, the widower's surname was Zhang, and his family was really poor, and the family was dilapidated and dilapidated.

But even so, that house is a better place to live in Huangguo Village.

It is said that this widower is also one of the few men in Huangguo Village who has all hands and feet.

Many people in his family also died in battle more than ten years ago, and now the only man left in the Zhang family is this widower.

Unfortunately, due to the drought a few years ago, Zhang's widower's wife and child fell ill, and because he had no money for medical treatment, his wife and child died again.

In the past few years, it is said that after Tan Ji entered the military camp, he received a lot of help, and the life of Huangguo Village has improved, but the widower Zhang is not rich enough to marry a woman of good nationality.

If it wasn't because Xiu Niang was a slave, he might still be alone.

There was a peaceful smile on Mrs. Zhang's face, which was a smile that a person could only have after he had endured a great disaster.

She said softly:

"I can save it."

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at her quietly, and said:
"I thought, look, I have a yard full of children who come to school every day, but I am really busy recently. If Mrs. Zhang is willing, can you teach these children for me? The money for teaching, and doing embroidery work Let's calculate the money for the son and the money for the embroidery separately."

When she said this, Wenxiu was taken aback. She hurriedly looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, and said in surprise:
"But the salary you paid me is already very high."

Compared with her previous embroidery work day and night, it has been several times higher.

"You do three things and work three jobs, that's what you should be doing."

Sheng Jiaojiao's words were also very gentle. Over the past few days, Sheng Jiaojiao and the Qi family were quite satisfied with the character and temperament of this embroiderer. Since this embroiderer has studied, she can naturally use her talents as she pleases.

She will always be more gentle to those who live hard in a down-to-earth manner.

Then, Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang's belly again, and said:

"Naturally, if you feel a little tired"

"Not tired, I'm not tired."

Wenxiu shook her head hastily. She is currently short of money. Sheng Jiaojiao's wages for her are already quite generous in a place like Zhishou County. If she can take on three jobs, it won't be long before she can make up the money. The money of her two elder sisters.
