Chapter 29
Wang He said simply.

It turned out that Wang Erlang took the 120 money when Xiao Jia was not in the house, opened the wooden box where she put the dowry.He didn't care about being seen by the eldest son, so he went to the main house to return it to the second elder.

The old couple would not accept it.Pushing back and forth, Wang Erlang was in a hurry: "I took the money this morning because I didn't want to make it difficult for my third brother. You didn't look at my third brother for being so useless!"

Jia Yu said "tsk", "Don't say that about your younger brother!"

Wang Weng: "Hmph, that's right. Good son, he used to be so good, but now he's turned into a lump of mud, with no backbone at all! Well, since the money is distributed to you, there is no reason to take it back. Take it quickly." Go back, don't..."

Before Wang Weng could finish his sentence, under the signal of the eldest son, the little Jia found that the money bag had disappeared.

Is this okay? !There is no way to pass the day!

Little Jia definitely wouldn't really jump into the well. There was only one well in the north of the village. If she jumped to die in it, she would have to be whipped to death by her neighbors.

After the quarrel was over, Xiao Jia went back to her natal family. This is the advantage of being close to her natal family, one village north and one village east.

It rained continuously the next day, so there is no need to go to the fields in this kind of weather.Wang Ge was stripping bamboo in the sundry house, and Wang Shu and Zhang Cang sat across from her to study.

Wang Erlang went to pick up his bride with a bitter face, and came back angrily.

When Wang Weng and the old couple asked, they were very angry.It turned out that Erlang's uncle and aunt did not let Erlang enter the hospital!He also said that he would either make a new dress for Xiao Jia as an apology, or buy some jewelry, otherwise, Xiao Jia would live in her mother's house for a while.

The fields are busy, and they have to go to the wild mountains to cut bamboo every now and then. How can the family do without labor?This is because the married family knows that his royal family has won a consistent reward, and wants to take a big bite!

Jia Yu wiped her tears, opened the suitcase, and took out a cloth package. After unpacking, it was a neatly folded cloth. "This half piece of cloth was bought by your father when Saburo got married. I have never been willing to cut it into clothes. Take it and make an apology to the wedding family."

"Mother!"

"Take it! It's your fault for this matter! Erlang, don't be dissatisfied, this matter has to be changed to Grandmother. If your father quietly gives the money to others, Grandmother will be angry."

"Your second elder is not someone else!"

Wang Weng said: "Listen to your mother. Remember from now on, don't complain about the disadvantages. After the bride comes back, discuss everything with her. The children are grown up, so don't embarrass yourself in front of the younger generation. .”

"Ah!" Wang Erlang panicked with embarrassment and anger, stomped his feet vigorously, took the clothes and rushed into the rain.

The past is surging!This half piece of cloth was not kept from the previous life.At that time, Ah Shu threw himself into the river and died tragically. My father suffered from heart disease, typhoid fever, and back problems. The family had no money left. My mother sold everything that could be sold to buy medicine. He got sicker and sicker day by day, and was tortured until his death.In this life, thanks to my niece's hard work, she was courageous and insightful at a young age, and earned money to buy medicine from the county town, which cured my father's back disease within a few days.

But the fabric still has to be sent away!And so many years in advance!
Even the five hundred money began to be spent piecemeal, and it was not in the hands of the second elder.

Wang Erlang became more and more restless, afraid that everything seemed to have changed, but in fact he still couldn't escape his original fate.

In the East Wing, Mrs. Yao, who had been peeping, was impatient, and asked Wang Sanlang: "You wait to inquire, what did your second brother just take?"

"Ah."

Wang Ai sat under the quilt, imitating his mother in a childish voice: "You are waiting to toss and toss, what did your brother take?"

Yao Shi and Wang Sanlang were both startled. After looking at each other, they had different reactions. Wang Sanlang just reprimanded: "No..."

Before the word "nonsense" came out, Yao Shi had already slapped Wang Ai on the mouth.

In the utility room, Wang Ge heard Aai crying again, frowned slightly and said: "It's so easy to rest for a day, either training Apeng or beating Aai."

Wang Shu laughed at himself: "This is because my mother is not at home, otherwise the appointed one will find fault with me."

Zhang Cang's face tightened: "Sister Shu, don't be afraid, if you get beaten, run to my house."

"Hey, I don't, I just run to sister Cong."

Wang Ge hastily refused: "Don't, the more you rely on me, the harder you will be beaten."

Zhang Cang thought Aunt Ge was joking.But Wang Shu knew that Congjie was telling the truth. She bowed her head, feeling ashamed and helpless. Bad words from my sister.Why? !
Outside, it rained harder.

Wang Erlang still came back alone, to repay the elders, the anger of the married family was relieved, the grandmother received the fabric, and her attitude was amiable, but she had to wait for the little Jia to finish cutting the clothes before returning, at most two or three days.

The rain stopped the next day, gray clouds blocked the sun from time to time, and the country roads were all muddy.Wang Ge made more for breakfast, left enough for his father and father for lunch, and insisted on going to the hillside with his mother.

It's really one foot deep and one foot shallow!Mrs. Yao kept complaining: "Wife Si really knows how to choose a time to go back to her mother's house. We have to hurry to work as soon as the rain stops, but what about her? Maybe she's still asleep."

"I can see the benefits of being close to my mother's family!"

"Brother went to Sifu's house twice in a row in the rain yesterday, but he didn't bring anyone back. What's wrong? She still wants to make sure of the autumn harvest? Then what does the royal family want this kind of bride for?"

Wang He couldn't help it: "My grandparent's house is very close, but my mother didn't go back a few times a year, and you still stole so many things from Shatun secretly!"

"Hey? You donkey face, do you talk to elders like this?"

Jia Yu: "Okay! Whoever doesn't want to move, just go back and lie down, don't make me upset!"

Wang Ge was silent, just helping his aunt.

At this time, a team of mules and horses started from the nearest pavilion "Linshui Pavilion" and walked slowly towards Jiashe Village.They are all officials of Linshui Pavilion, a total of 17 people, headed by the pavilion chief, 15 pavilion soldiers, plus a pavilion husband with special status.

This pavilion husband is the young Huan Zhen.

Every state and county has a budget for road construction every year, and the dirt road from Linshuiting to Jiashe Village is approved.There is a fixed standard for the road width of "Yutu" in the suburbs: five-gauge. You only need to measure the actual road length with a "mileage car" to calculate the financial, material and human resources that will be invested.

The mule pulled the Jili cart, and every time it traveled a mile, the wooden man on the cart would beat the drum, and Huan Zhen would use a stone knife and a wooden board to engrave the numbers.

A few feet away from the back of the team, Tie Feng and Tie Lei rode their majestic steeds, keeping a close distance.Tie Feng carries the ring-head knife on his back; Tie Lei holds a bow in his left hand and carries a wooden arrow receptacle on his back.

According to the meaning of Huan County Magistrate, the two brothers are allowed to follow him all the time to protect Huan Zhen's safety... It means that they can only help each other when their lives are at stake!
Huan Zhen is now the "tingfu" of Linshuiting who is responsible for cleaning the pavilions and stables, and belongs to the lowest rank among the pavilions.The remaining [-] pavilion soldiers are either "qiu thieves" who are responsible for chasing down thieves, or "tingzi".

Tie Lei: "Who would have thought that after playing truant from the Imperial College, he would become a village soldier and a stable cleaner."

Tie Feng: "Just one year, I'll get over it. Alas!" He sighed deeply, sounding more like pity himself, at least not going back to the bustling Luoyang for a year.

Tie Lei: "When I came back to Jiashe Village last time, the young master was so full of vigor! Just look at it now... how many times has he scratched his hair? He must have caught lice."

Tie Feng: "No. 11 times. By the way, you combed the two corners of your hair today?"

 Uncle and aunt: Refers to father-in-law and mother-in-law.

  Marriage family: It can be seen in the "Hanshu", which refers to the in-laws. The term "in-laws" began in the Tang Dynasty.

  Pavilion location: refers to the post station.The location of the kiosk is generally in the main traffic road, which not only provides post and post, but also has the function of public security. "Seeking robbers", "Tingzi" and "Tingfu" all belong to different positions of Tingzu.

  Wild painted: "wild" stands for suburban roads in road classification; "painted" stands for width grade.

  Five rails: "Rail" is the width unit, and each rail has eight weeks.

  Jiliche: The earliest record of this object is the "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes" of the Han Dynasty, which is used to calculate the road mileage.

  Gongzi: During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the honorific title for the son of a noble family.When servants refer to the master's son as "gongzi", they are mostly used in the third person.
