The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 232 220 One Going Northward to Find Relatives in Datong Mansion ([-])
After seeing off Tie Niu and his son, Duan Wuji said to his father with a smile: "Father, you should rest assured now! With my brother Tie Niu at home, nothing will happen at home.

No matter what is going on at home, you and my brother will consult with him. "

Duan Yanqing smiled and nodded.

"Well, there is Tieniu protecting our family. Now I am completely relieved. Wuji, when do you plan to leave?"

"I don't know that! I have to ask my mother about it. It depends on her old man's opinion. If she says when to leave, then I will accompany her. Anyway, the journey is not too far away."

"Well, I'll discuss this with your mother when we have dinner later. Let's see when she plans to leave."

After speaking, Duan Yanqing went back to the house to drink tea.

Duan Wuji walked into his small room and continued to practice, until it was almost dark, Duan Wuji walked out of his room.

Duan Wuji walked into the main room, and saw that the food had already been put on the table.

Duan Yanqing talked about Duan Wuji and said: "Your mother said, you are going to set off tomorrow morning, Wuji, how much money do you think you brought on the road?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "How about bringing 3000 taels of silver? I don't think there is any benefit in bringing too much.

After all, our family's money didn't come from the strong wind. Besides, there is no one there who dare not say.

Dad, do you think that's the reason? "

After hearing this, Liucaihua slapped Duan Wuji on the back again.

"What are you talking about, you unlucky child? This is going to your grandma's house. Why did the silver in our house not come from the strong wind? Why don't you bring them more money? We have such silver in our house. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Mother, do you know how much this 3000 taels of silver can do? The average family probably doesn't even have 20 taels of silver. If you bring them too much money all of a sudden, it's not harmful." What about them?
Sometimes having too much money is not necessarily a good thing, mother, have you thought about it, if you are dressed so well like you, if no one guards you and walks on the road, I dare say that Baili will be killed by others killed.

It's all about money. If you wear ragged clothes, you'll be fine even if you sleep on the street all day long. "

Duan Yanqing smiled and nodded.

"Well, Wuji, what you said is too reasonable. Ordinary farmers just sell all their property. It's good to sell them for ten taels and twenty taels of silver. How many too rich families will there be?

Bringing 3000 taels of silver is enough, and I'm afraid it won't be of much benefit to them if they bring too much. "

"Hey, look at you father and son, who sing together? They are monkeys pulled out of the same nest. I think you are the cheapskates.

It really pissed me off.It is said that the local rich men in Shanxi are pickier than each other. It seems that this statement is not false at all! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, you don't understand this. A person who is about to die of starvation, why don't you let him have a full meal? Maybe he will be starved to death. For such a person, you can only eat slowly." That’s the only way to cure illnesses and save lives.”

"It's okay, it's okay, mother won't argue with you anymore, it will make your kid almost pissed mother off.

Let's eat, let's eat and go to sleep.Don't let your mother see you angry. "

Duan Wuji agreed, picked up his chopsticks and started eating, as if he had forgotten all about the debate.

Willow cauliflower took a look and was angry and loving.

"Oh, mother, what evil did you do to give birth to your current disaster."

"Mother, hurry up and eat, go to bed when you're full, we have to leave early tomorrow."

Duan Wuji looked at Duan Changsheng.

"Brother, hurry up and tell me Brother Tieniu tomorrow morning, that means we'll be leaving tomorrow, so don't make any noise about our going out!

The fewer people who know, the safer our family will be. "

Duan Changsheng nodded.

"Well, brother, you don't need to tell me these things, I know all of them."

After dinner, Duan Yanqing said with a smile: "Wuji, you wait, dad will take 3000 taels of silver for you."

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Father, you don't need to take it anymore, I happen to have so much money with me, and it won't be of much use if I keep it, so I'll spend it first.

You just need to get me a few dozen taels of scattered silver, and it will be a good deal for us. "

Duan Yanqing agreed and went out, and after a while, Duan Yanqing came out with a small silver bag.

"Wuji, this is 100 taels of scattered silver, which is enough for you to use in your career, you can put it away.

Duan Wuji took the silver bag and said with a smile: "Father, mother, please rest, I'm going back to the west wing."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji brought up the silver bag and walked out immediately.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji got up early from the kang, and immediately led his white horse out of the stable.

Duan Wuji checked the horse and found that there was nothing serious, so he was relieved.

Duan Wuji also asked the driver, Xiao Fuzi, to put the covered carriage on, and then put mattresses, quilts, pillows and other things in the carriage, and then called Xiao Fuzi to the house to have breakfast together.

Duan Wuji looked at his mother and said: "Mother, there is nothing to do, let's go."

Liu Caihua walked outside the courtyard, got into the carriage and took a look.

"Hey, you little bastard, are you very thoughtful, hey, mother didn't give birth to you in vain.

Boy, don't forget to bring your silver. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, what do you say? Can this be done?"

As he said that, Duan Wuji put the big bag of 3000 taels of silver on the carriage.

"Mother, this is our silver bag, please look at it."

Afterwards, Duan Wuji put the small bag of 100 taels of silver on the horse's back, and then, Duan Wuji hung his big stick on the bird's wing ring, and carried his sword behind his back.

Just as Duan Wuji was about to get on his horse and leave, Duan Changsheng walked in leading a cow.

"Brother, go slowly, and take this cow with you. We have a lot of cows in our family. Let them use this cow for plowing."

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother, you are really thoughtful. If you have this cow, you will save yourself a lot of trouble plowing the land."

Duan Changsheng walked over, tied the cow to the back of the car, and said with a smile: "Brothers, take care of yourself along the way, and pay attention to safety on the road."

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of you along the way, absolutely nothing will happen.

Brother, just take care of our family, we will be back in a few days. "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji waved at Xiao Fuzi.

"Brother Fuzi, let's walk, drive the car steadily on the road, don't go too fast."

"Young master, don't worry, the car I drove out is absolutely safe."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fuzi Niu turned the car around, whipped the whip, and the horse came out of the house immediately pulling the cart.

Duan Wuji urged the horse to go to the front, Duan Wuji led the way in front, and the carriage followed calmly behind, riding a cart immediately set foot on the road going north.

It was mid-April at this time, Tian Dao'er was the time when the days were long, and the weather was not too hot at this time, Duan Wuji rode on the horse and walked forward while admiring the scenery on both sides of the road.

But see that: the wheat field is covered with brocade rust and green felt, and the grass is like a piece of new grass.There are countless wild flowers in red and purple, and the willows on the side of the road are self-shading.Farmers are busy plowing in the fields, and young children are looking for cattle on the hillside.Swallows fly over the fields and dance, and birds chirp loudly.

Duan Wuji was very happy to see him, Niu turned his head and said loudly to his mother: "Mother, lift up the curtain of the car and take a closer look, what a beautiful scenery it is! It's much more beautiful than the Qingming outing.

How can this free travel be missed? "

"Okay, okay, then mother, let's open the car curtain and have a look."

This car rides all the way northward, it is hungry for food and thirsty, Xiaoxing sleeps overnight, after a long journey of four days, this day finally arrived at the edge of the city of Datong Prefecture, and the sun is already westward.

Duan Wuji found a very clean inn and went down.

Duan Wuji asked for a separate small courtyard, settled his mother down, and after dinner, Duan Wuji said: "Mother, we will be home tomorrow, let's sleep well tonight.

Don't be too excited to fall asleep.

Mother, I also went to rest, and I have breakfast tomorrow, and we will go to Liujiatun in the west of the city to find my grandma's house. "

"Well, son, you should go to bed early too. Mother can sleep in the car for a while if she is tired these days. You silly boy rides on a horse all day long."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay, mother, since it's all right, the kid will leave."

After speaking, Duan Wuji withdrew from this room.

Duan Wuji returned to his room, undressed immediately and rested.
