Chinese dining table

Chapter 63

Yunchu really went to Renshi.

He also really wanted to hire some honest and powerful people, but in the end, there were none, and he didn't even bother to take a second look.

Some people held a rusty broken knife in their hands, and stood there with their chests and stomachs in a vicious manner. Unfortunately, his emaciated body betrayed the fact that he was a refugee who couldn't even eat enough.

Then there are some people who are squatting on the ground and looking at people from the corner of their eyes. No matter how you look at them, they have nothing to do with honesty and kindness.

Although it was just a glimpse of the city passing by, Yunchu had voluntarily given up the idea of ​​recruiting people from here.

The Post Office is different, although they can't be counted as people in the establishment, they are also a group of people who are not officials.

Many of the postmen themselves are government soldiers, and each has a family and a family. This is also an important reason why the government dared to hand over important documents to these people.

Since the country dared to entrust them with confidential and important matters, there was nothing wrong with entrusting them with their wealth and life.

As long as he can go back safely, Yun Chu will not hesitate to spend a lot of money on these people.

"My sister and I's lives are not that important. It's just that when I return to my hometown this time, I bring the compensation money and food for the brothers who died in the battle in Qiucha City. There must be no mistakes."

Ma Gui said, "How many people do you need?"

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "Ten people."

"Ten people are not many."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "It's impossible, I can only focus on ten people with one pair of eyes, if there are more, there will be blind spots in my vision, and there will be some things that I can't control.

Although more people are more stable, but, I still only want ten people. "

"What can you give them?"

"One camel per person, as long as they arrive in Chang'an, in addition to the salary of [-] yuan per person, I will give each of them a camel as a gift."

"Since the remuneration is so generous, Mr. Lang shouldn't need me if he wants to recruit some postmen?"

Yun Chu looked at Ma Gui and said, "I hope these ten people are sent by the station."

Ma Gui frowned again, looked at Yun Chu and said, "Then, how can you repay me?"

Yun Chu looked at the blue sky and said, "I'll give you three choices, one is the mutton fat jade produced in the Western Regions."

Ma Gui shook his head and said, "Although mutton fat jade is precious, it is not a rare thing in Hexi."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Secondly, a bucket of golden sand."

Ma Gui continued to shake his head and said: "Although the gold sand is very valuable, there is no shortage of this bucket of gold sand in Ma Gui's family."

There was a smile of appreciation on Yunchu's face, and he said to Ma Gui: "I don't know what kind of achievements I will achieve in the future. If you ask me for something within ten years, I will definitely not refuse."

There was also a hint of a smile on Ma Gui's face, he patted Yun Chu's hand and said, "Okay, I'll choose the third one."

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Aren't you worried that I won't accomplish anything in my life?"

Ma Gui also laughed and said, "If you reverse the order of the three choices, I might choose Jinsha Yidou."

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said, "In this way, there will be Brother Lao Ma." "

Ma Gui returned the courtesy and said: "The dog Ma Rong is also a post station post foot, just for your husband to drive."

Yunchu took a deep look at Ma Gui, and then returned to the courtyard.

He felt that he would be a great success in the future, but he didn't expect Ma Gui to think so.

Although I don't know what Ma Gui will ask him for help in the future, Yunchu decided to help Ma Gui now because of the favor of Ma Gui asking his son Ma Rong to send him to Chang'an.

When it was dark, Naha waited for her brother to fall asleep, then quietly climbed off the bed, and tiptoed out of the room with her shoes on her hands.

After the child closed the door carefully, Yunchu saw Naha go straight into the servants' room where the convicts lived.

In the morning, when Yunchu woke up, Naha appeared strangely on his bed again, pretending to be in a deep sleep, and woke up rubbing his eyes after being patted by Yunchu on the buttocks.

"Brother, let's take Cui Shi away as well. I like her very much, and I don't like her suffering here."

While eating breakfast, Naha suddenly made a request to Yunchu.

This request was the first time that Naha formally made a request to him. You must know that Naha's previous requests were either roasted marmots or roast mutton, or asked to ride on his neck to watch the excitement.

This child should have gone to find Mrs. Cui last night. I don't know what kind of soup this criminal woman gave Naha in the past day, so that she suddenly became so dependent on this woman.

Yun Chu's cold eyes fell on Cui's body, Cui's body trembled for a moment, and immediately regained his composure.

Bringing Yunchu's soup bowl and putting it away, he knelt down and said, "The sinful woman has been stranded in Guzang City for nine years, and the number of nobles she has served during these nine years is innumerable even if she is a concubine.

Only Mr. Lang's eyes are clear, and he does not look at the criminal woman with a lewd attitude. Although he treats the criminal woman coldly, he does not have the slightest disgust.

Langjun is a young hero, I heard from Naha that Langjun once fought bloody battles among thousands of armies, and he was able to stand on his own in a lonely city, he is an unborn hero.

The concubine's body is already a broken flower and willow, and I don't know when I will die in a foreign land. What I want today is to follow my husband back to Chang'an. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to go to the tomb of my grandfather and my mother to pay homage After a while, even if you die, you will feel at ease. "

Yunchu saw that Naha had come to him at some point, with tears in his eyes, he hugged his thigh and shook it gently.

Yun Chu said: "Why did you get convicted, let's tell the truth."

Cui raised her head and said, "Cui Xiu is the daughter of Qinghe Cui."

When Yunchu heard what Cui said, he couldn't help being surprised, he never thought that there would be a Qinghe Cui daughter in Guzang City.

He also couldn't figure out how, with the reputation of the Cui family, how could he not be able to keep a woman like Cui Xiu from his own family, and even let her live in Guzang City and become a criminal woman in a post station.

Suddenly big teardrops welled up in Cui Xiu's eyes, and she said to Yunchu, "Your Majesty doesn't know something, the Cui family will naturally work together with others, but the internal fighting between the Cui family is equally tragic."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If you want to rely on me to help you get revenge, then you are thinking wrong, I don't have that ability."

Cui Xiu shook her head and said, "Cui Xiu just wants to leave this filthy place and take a look at the tombs of her parents. If the husband does not abandon her, Cui Xiu is willing to stay in the back house of the husband for the rest of her life, without going out of the house, and concentrate on teaching Naha Xiao lady."

"You don't want revenge?"

"How do I take revenge? Among the enemies are my ancestors, my uncle, my uncle, and even my brother. How do you want me to take revenge?"

Yunchu hesitated and said: "Qinghe Cui family... the Qinghe Cui family who surpassed the Li family and Changsun family."

Cui Xiu looked up at Yun Chu and said, "Anzhi will not have a Yun family that surpasses the two Cui's."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "There is no undefeated family, what kind of scholars, powerful families, what kind of noble family, in the next few years, they will live miserable lives, how prosperous they were in the past, how miserable they will be in the future .

In the old days, Wang Xietang's Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people, Cui Xiu, this is what happened to those wealthy families. "

Seeing that Cui Xiu seemed to want to talk, he waved his hands and said, "Since you don't have the will to take revenge, then teach Yunna well, remember it, remember it to death, I just want Yunna to be happy in this life!"

Cui Xiu lowered her head and said, "My servant understands."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Don't call yourself a maidservant. When we return to Chang'an, I will ask Yun Na to worship you as my teacher. You will teach her for the rest of your life, and she will support you for the rest of your life. In this way, you have nothing to complain about." , Yun Na will not be angry with me."

After speaking, Yunchu stroked Naha's yellow hair and couldn't help sighing. If it wasn't for Naha's child who really needs a famous teacher to teach him, he wouldn't have any contact with Cui Shi at all.

On the same day, on the roster of Guzang Nancheng post station, a criminal woman named Zhang Shu was marked off with a red pen by Ma Gui because of her sudden death.

In a short time, three elderly convict women will die suddenly at the Nancheng post station, and one of them is a convict woman named Cui Xiu.

It is believed that these albums will gradually be lost or damaged as time goes by.

The people who went to chase the old monkey came back on the third day, and the old monkey's men and horses had already reached Wushao Ridge, so the cavalry team only recovered 36 monks' corpses.

The Facao of Liangzhou Governor's Mansion finally allowed Yunchu to leave Guzang City and return to Chang'an.

At this time, it is already the time when the sky is blue, the land is yellow, and the wild geese are flying south.

With thirteen people, nineteen camels, and one horse, Yunchu did not choose to cross Wushao Ridge, that mountain was too steep, and he could not walk that way with his children and women.

So, he turned his way to the east and set foot on the famous Xiaoguan Road.

This is the road recommended by Ma Rong. Xiaoguan Road is the official road of the Tang Dynasty. Taking this road, Yunchu can follow the route of the postmen and stay in the official post every eighty miles.

Far away from the calamity of the old monkey, even when Yunchu crossed Liupan Mountain, nothing happened.

Arrive at Yuanzhou, which has always been the first city to leave Chang'an in the west.

At this time, it has been a month and a half later.

Yuanzhou in Guannei Road is not as prosperous as Yunchu imagined. On the contrary, in his opinion, the people's livelihood in Datang is worrying.

There is no paradise in the Western Regions, no food crops grow by themselves, no honey falls into the mouth, and there are no perennial flowers, endless fruits and vegetables to eat, and silkworms need people to take care of them before they can bear fruit. Cocoon, spinning.

The only thing that makes Yunchu feel gratified is that Nah is becoming more and more quiet. Although her blond hair and green eyes are still eye-catching, she is dressed in the attire of a little girl from the Tang Dynasty, which makes her look even more unique.

It was the civet cat with leopard pattern in Naha's arms that made Yunchu very worried.

He swears that the civet cat with the tuft of fur on its ear tip is absolutely impossible to be a civet cat. If Yunchu remembered correctly, the guy with the tear-stained eyes and the tuft of fur on his ear should be called a lynx.

Now, this young lynx has a new name - Big Fat.

Marmot Big Fatty, whom Naha never forgot, didn't see her off when she left, let alone follow her.

Fortunately, this little lynx that automatically got into her tent in Liupan Mountain quickly occupied her heart again.

What puzzled Yunchu the most was that Cui did not stop Naha from playing with sticks, but instead made a daily schedule, urging Naha to include stick playing as one of the most important practice subjects of the day.

On weekdays, Naha likes to play with sticks, but after making it a compulsory subject, Naha doesn't like it very much. For this reason, Cui used a wooden ruler.

Hearing Naha's howling, Yunchu wanted to rush in several times to stop Cui's atrocities, but after reaching the door, he still endured.

This should be Naha's own fault.
