Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 83
Standing there, Wei Zhanying saw that He Yongxi had remained silent, so he asked again.

"Why, Mr. He refuses to accept the order?"

How could He Yongxi admit it, and waved his hands over there,
"My Lord Shen, this is hard work. How can those frontier troops be restrained? Besides, the generals behind the frontier army are all junior generals of the Duke's Mansion, me, me."

Wei Zhanying didn't wait for any commander to finish speaking, and directly put the order into He Yongxi's hand, and replied,
"If you can't do well, replace it. Mr. Ge asked me to bring it to you. That's it. I'm leaving."

Wei Zhanying didn't waste his words here, and after leaving a word, he turned his head and left, leaving He Yongxi lamenting over and over again.

the next morning,

The sun shines all over the earth, and the wind is sunny.

Outside the pass is also a beautiful scene, which is very warm. Today is the day when Zhang Jinyu, the envoy of the Luoyun Festival, worships the ancestors. The Zhang family's lineage is also simple in population, and there is only one lineage, so they can only choose an elder from the side room to preside over it.

It is a big event for Lord Hou to sacrifice ancestors in Pingyang County. Everyone who is idle wants to come and watch, so he has to call in the guards of the Hou Mansion to maintain order. Zhang Jinyu thought it was just like Lan Xing sweeping the tomb. cumbersome.

Starting in the morning, everyone in the Hou Mansion got up early, arranged for people to prepare sacrifices and clean the ancestral hall, and the elders of the clan opened the ancestral hall on time. They first offered animal sacrifices, burned incense, and then read the sacrificial text. The whole process was very cumbersome.

Anyway, Zhang Jinyu didn't understand a sentence, and then Master Hou first worshiped his ancestors, meaning to tell his ancestors that he was promoted and made a fortune, and that's what he came here to tell.

Then the clan members surnamed Zhang came in to kowtow one by one, and then the younger generation kowtowed.

Of course, all the generals under the Hou Mansion came. Under the auspices of the clan elders, they also came in to worship. It was extremely complicated. Zhang Jinyu also saw the ancient version of ancestor worship. Jade and Silk, Jinzu, Chuxian, Yaxian, Final Xian, Removal of Food, Sending God, Wang Liao, etc.

This is a lot, one by one, two hours passed before it was over, and the offerings began to be distributed.

There is also a great dancing god outside, and the children are playing there and sharing the enshrined pastries happily.

Zhang Jinyu didn't care about others, but he paid homage to him. He still doesn't know how he got here, so it would be good to have more blessings.

After such a morning, Zhang Jinyu went back to the Hou's mansion with her mother to rest after explaining it to her.

After returning to the mansion, the mother breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she entered the house, as if a major matter had been resolved,
"When did you decide to leave?"

Zhang Jinyu knew what her mother meant when she heard it, she pondered for a while and said,
"Mother has made arrangements and can leave at any time,"

"Well, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. We will start tomorrow, and the date is not too early."

"Okay, then mother, take a good rest and leave tomorrow morning."

"Ah."

Zhang Jinyu went out after finishing speaking. She didn't have anything to bring. Yue'er had already packed her clothes, and she just wanted to check the itinerary tomorrow.

After Zhang Jinyu left, Mrs. Wang asked Lan Yueer and Lan Shuer,
"Is there someone in charge of all the industrial projects in the house?"

"Madam has made all the arrangements, and the old man in the house is in charge,"

"That's good, let the people below keep an eye on it, it's all obtained by their own blood and sweat, don't rely on outsiders to learn the truth, and spread the news."

"clear."

"Take a good rest today and leave tomorrow."

Mrs. Wang took the second daughter to take a bath and rest.

Zhang Jinyu went back to her yard and asked Ning Bian to inform Lao Ying that she was going to leave for Beijing tomorrow. Ning Bian even asked,
"Master Hou, I won't be resting for two days."

"What about rest? I've been idle for so many days, and the time is almost up. I can't get up quickly with my family on the way, so I'll leave early."

"Then tomorrow, I will inform the brothers to leave tomorrow morning."

Zhang Jinyu nodded and asked again,
"Is everyone else leaving?"

"Back to Lord Hou, after offering sacrifices to the ancestors yesterday, the generals led their troops to go separately. It went smoothly. By the way, Lord Hou, Madam Yu brought you a Dongzhu, and the maid put it in the room for you. She said she couldn't come and give it to you." I'm sorry, I'll go to the capital to find you when I'm done."

"Yayu, I understand."

"Then Hou Ye will go down in the end."

"Ah."

After Ning Bian left, Zhang Jinyu thought of that sweet figure, and now he must be busy with tribal affairs again, this is the patriarch's addiction.

Pingliao city, Wuya tribe,

Wu Yayu is directing a large number of tribal people to move to Pingliao City. Xiaoyun Lake has become a transit point for the migration of Jurchen tribes. Tents, large and small, stretch for miles. food, and the people also learned how to farm, the Wuya tribe has almost become a market town.

Wu Yayu is so busy that she gets dizzy every day, and there are not enough people under her command. She mainly arranges people to collect salt, and also arranges people to go to the seaside to try how to do the salt field, so she arranges for Wu Yafei, the captain of the guard of the tribe, to take charge of this matter. .

"Patriarch, the subordinates have something to report."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"The patriarch's tribe is getting bigger and bigger now. There are already more than [-] people who can fight. I'm worried that the people below still want to join the army and fight."

"Well, is it a majority of people or a small number of people, or you have an idea."

Wu Yayu said it unceremoniously, and Wu Yafei knelt down in fright. Now Wu Yayu's reputation in the tribe is at the peak of the sky, especially in the original tribe, she is a god-like existence.

"Patriarch Hui, the people from the original tribe have some ideas."

"Well, it's in vain, I don't have such a comfortable life. You said why those tribes took refuge in me, and they, if they don't have enough to eat, they still think about these things. Tell them not to let me hear about this matter again, and let those troublesome things go away. The Huan people individually proposed to go to the seaside to dry salt, and have the ability to increase income for the tribe.”

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"You asked Wu Yada to lead [-] cavalry to report to General Duan Shouyuan at the camp outside Pingyang City. I won't keep them, so as not to cause trouble."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

After Wu Yafei responded, she didn't dare to breathe, so she left in a hurry, busy to dispatch troops, Wu Yayu sat in the big tent for a long time, she missed Zhang Jinyu, and didn't know whether to leave, but thought of Those young people in the tribe who don't have a brain are very troubled.

Beijing,

In the yamen of the Army and Horse Division in the Five Cities, He Yongxi sat on the main seat, and below him sat the commanders of the Army and Horse Division in the five districts of the capital, all of whom were frowning together, discussing how to treat the frontier troops. Go to town.

Zuo Anhe, a fellow acquaintance of Dongcheng soldiers and horses, said;

"My lord, I think they must be treated separately. It's not that they won't be allowed in. They have to come up with a regulation."

He Yongxi was shocked when he heard this,
"You said."

"Behind the army here are the dukes of Xungui. We can't let them in. We're still in the capital, but we can't listen to the Ministry of War. We can't be provoked."

"Old Zuo, aren't you talking nonsense?"

Fu Yuancheng, the acquaintance of Nancheng Bingmasi, said next to him,
"Listen to me, these soldiers can come in if they want, sign and pledge, and they can't make trouble in the capital, they will be arrested, and then they will inform the master that they will lead people in the future, and they should be fined."

"Can you do it?"

Wu Shiqi, the military commander in Xicheng, said something uncertain, and Song Boling, the military commander in Beicheng, thought about it and expressed his opinion;
"Okay, that's it. We can't be the ones who get angry at the two ends every time. No way, let them pinch."

He Yongxi also felt that the above was full of malice when he heard it, what is this!
It's not my turn to do good things, and I have to deal with these difficult things. Why don't those people from the imperial city department go find them.

"Just do it like this, let me know in advance, if something goes wrong, you will be arrested immediately, you should pay for it, and if you have to pass it, of course you can buy it with money."

"My lord, what if those bitter people have no money?"

Nan Wenyi, the commander of Zhongcheng soldiers and horses, suddenly mentioned something, and there was a moment of silence in the yamen, yes, those frontier soldiers were all from poor backgrounds, and they didn't have much money if they sold him. What to do, He Yongxi was also dumbfounded.

"Yeah, what should I do?"

He Yongxi asked again.

In the end, Zuo Anhe came up with a plan.
"My lord, then take the person directly to his chief general, and he will not let him go until he pays the fine."

"It's not good for us to look for them. Let them come to us directly. It's strange if they don't get beaten out after going to the barracks."

Song Boling didn't agree with coming to the door to look for her.

"Okay, let's do it like this."

In the end, He Yongxi decided to do it like this, and in order not to lose money, three times the number of people was added to the gate of the city. Anyone who caused trouble was arrested immediately, and He Yongxi was also very ruthless.
