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

Chapter 454 Chapter 440 Seven: Returning to the hometown, the joy of the capital

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early, they packed up their things, pulled out their horses and were about to leave.

Changping Wang and his son led all the generals and sent them out.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't send it off, send you thousands of miles, there will be a farewell, everyone, you should stay behind!

Our two brothers are gone, if there is a chance, let's meet again in the future! "

After finishing speaking, the two of them got on their horses, bowed their hands towards the crowd, and immediately hit their horses and ran straight to their hometown.

The camp of the Sui Army was not very far from the Taiyuan Mansion, and the two of them rushed to their hometown in less than two days.

At the fork in Duanjiaji, both of them reined in their horses.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't spend much money on this trip!

I call it no loss, no gain! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "If you don't accompany me, you won't make money, but I make some money!

When I left, I brought 700 taels of silver, and when I came back, I still had more than 2000 taels!

Brother Tieniu, let's go home separately, let's have a good rest, let's meet again in a few days! "

"Hey! I said brother, if you say that the old prince recommends it in front of the emperor, what good can the old emperor do for us!"

"Brother Tieniu, let's not count on this, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

Brother Tieniu, just pretend it's nothing like this, so be it!
Anyway, we don't need to take anything out, that's all. "

After speaking, the two of them rode their horses and went home.

When Duan Wuji returned home, the long-term worker at home immediately ran over and led the horses to the yard where the livestock were kept.

Weapons such as sticks, bows and arrows were also brought to the west wing for him.

When Duan Wuji came back, Duan Yanqing led his family to pick him up.

Liucaihua looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Boy, you guys can really play!

It took more than a month to go out, did I run out of money before running back? "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Mother, I brought 700 taels of silver with me when I went there. It took a long time to spend, and now I still have about [-] taels of silver left!"

"Ah? The more you spend, the more you spend! Who would believe that!"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "If you don't believe it, I will believe it.

This time Wuji went out, how could there not be a lot of money left over!

This is nothing unusual!

Boy, let's go, let's go into the house! "

After saying that, the whole family went into the house one after another. When they got there, Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "Wuji! Did you enjoy going out to play this time?"

"Happy, why not happy!"

Duan Wuji entered the room, untied his little burden and threw it on the kang, and then lay down on the kang!

Liucaihua looked at the little bundle and said, "Didn't you earn money back, I'll see if there is any.

Boy, you can't lie to my old lady!

Whoops!Is it quite heavy? "

As she said that, Liu Caihua opened the bundle, and except for a few dirty clothes, the rest was all silver.

Willow cauliflower saw it and said with a smile: "Hey! It's really quite a lot!

Boy, you didn't lie, you really have a lot of money!
Boy, what you did this time is really worth it!

He actually brought back the silver. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother! I lied when you said something!

Put it away! "

Duan Yanqing picked up the money and took it away.

The whole family chatted happily for a while, and Duan Wuji fell asleep in bed after a while.

Duan Wuji stayed at home for more than a month when nothing happened!

Nothing happened during this period, Duan Wuji stepped up his practice all day and all night!

After a long time, Duan Wuji had already forgotten about this trip.

This morning, Duan Wuban had just had some breakfast after returning from a long-distance run, and was chatting with his family in the house, when suddenly there was a sound of drums outside the door, followed by suona.

Duan Wuji was taken aback.

"Which family is holding a wedding? Why is it so lively!"

The sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door of my house.

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Why do I feel that the person who beat the gongs and drums came to our door!

Let's go, let's go out and have a look. "

Hearing what Duan Yanqing said, the whole family immediately got up and walked to the gate. When they got to the gate, they saw several guards were pasting couplets at the gate!

The first couplet reads: The family has a dutiful son, Anjia Guotai, and the second couplet reads: This mother is a good father, and the country is loyal and good.

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "It's not the new year, why post couplets!

Are you posting the wrong person? "

"Mr. Duan, how could we post it wrongly, we rushed over from the capital, can this matter be wrong!

Those two servants are servants from our local county government office, can this be wrong!

After a while, the imperial envoy, the magistrate and the magistrate all came over.

They may be at the family gathering now, I think they will come over in a while. "

"That's right! Then, poor masters, what do you mean by posting this couplet in our house?"

"Master Duan, you don't know something. My lord has come to deliver a plaque to your family by the emperor's orders."

"Oh? What plaque did you give our family?

Our family didn't do anything good, why did the emperor give our family a plaque!

This is really inexplicable! "

"Oh! Master Duan, please don't say that!

Nothing!If you haven't done anything, can the old emperor send someone to give you a plaque!

Master Duan, do you know what an honor this is?

How many ministers of civil and military affairs are thinking of asking for this, why just send it to your family! "

Duan Yanqing slapped his head when he heard this.

"Hey! Look at my brain, it's really not enough. If our family can get the emperor's plaque, it must be that Wuji has made some contribution to the country!
Otherwise, can the emperor send a plaque to our family!

Oh!I'm really old, my brain is not enough, why can't I even understand this question!

I'm so stupid! "

Liu Caihua stopped and grabbed Duan Wuji and said: "Boy, what did you do when you went out this time to get such treatment from the old emperor?

You have been home for so long, and you have never mentioned it.

You brat, this is really dumplings boiled in a teapot, you can count them in your stomach! "

Duan Wuji smiled.

"Mother, it's nothing, after our two brothers went out, didn't we just destroy a few cottages!
Such a small matter, what can I say! "

"Ah? The emperor even sent someone to bring a plaque. Is this a trivial matter?

Look at what your kid said! "

At this moment, a burst of dust rose, and a dozen horses galloped over.

The officer who posted the couplet looked at it and said loudly: "Our imperial envoys are here."

Duan Wuji took a look and saw that Qiu Tianbao was riding a horse in the middle, the magistrate of Taiyuan Mansion was on the left, and the county magistrate was on the right.

A dozen followers followed.

The Tie Niu father and son followed on horseback.

Duan Wuji was so happy when he saw it, he shouted loudly from a long distance: "Brother Qiu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?"

As soon as Qiu Tianbao heard Duan Wuji calling him, he rushed forward to push the horse forward!

When he rushed to him, Qiu Tianbao quickly jumped off his horse!

"Brother, long time no see, I miss you so much!

Brother, how are you doing recently! "

"Okay, okay, everything is okay! Brother Qiu, how is the old prince?"

"Well, he's fine, everything's fine.

Brother, this time I was ordered by the emperor to come here specially to give you two gifts. "

"That's right, please come to the room quickly!"

As he said that, Duan Wuji hurriedly let these people into the yard!

After entering the yard, these people tied the horses to the trees in the yard, followed Duan Yanqing's family and went straight into the house.

After entering the house, Duan Yanqing's family was waiting for him!

Qiu Tianbao said loudly to the people who followed: "Hurry up and bring that big plaque in."

The few attendants who followed heard this, and immediately walked out. After a short time, a large plaque was carried in by four people.

When everyone looked at it, they saw that the big plaque was so beautiful. There were a few big characters written on the big plaque, the four characters "Home of the Virtuous and Virtuous".

The seal of the old emperor is still on the plaque.

When Duan Yanqing's family saw that the Coke was broken, what an honor it was to get a plaque from the court!

Qiu Tianbao said with a smile: "Uncle, Auntie, I have another piece of good news to tell you. The old emperor summoned me to make the old lady the second-rank wife. From now on, if I see the officials in the government again, I won't have to kneel down again." .

Uncle, the emperor has ordered you to be a virtuous squire, and your family will no longer have to pay food and taxes. Uncle, your family can live a good life. "

As he said that, Qiu Tianbao took out the imperial decree and handed it to Duan Yanqing himself.

"Uncle, this is the imperial decree, you can keep it!"

Duan Yanqing happily put away the imperial decree, and said to everyone: "Today is a big happy event for our family. Don't leave, you can have dinner at our house later!"

Qiu Tianbao laughed when he heard this.

"Old man, I am here today on the orders of the saints, so I am not allowed to eat at your place. Once some villain reports to me, then I will not be able to eat and walk away.

Let's get together father and son in the future!It will be a long time in the future, so I won't bother you today.

Uncle, I still have a lot of things to do in the capital, I think we can get together later!
Uncle, brother, then I will take my leave. "

After speaking, Qiu Tianbao got up and led the people to leave.

Duan Yanqing saw that there was nothing he could do, so he got up and led his family to send it out.

Then Qiu Tianbao led the dozen or so people he led to get on the horse.

Duan Yanqing didn't come back with his family until his shadow disappeared.
