Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 321 Reinstatement
Since the barbarians went south, Tie Shi and Ning Wan have lost contact with the Luo family brothers and sisters for several months. Ning Wan was very happy to see the letter, "It seems that the capital is all right, and the letter has been delivered." She took it as she spoke. The scissors cut the letter and read it with the iron stone.

"No, brother Luo's letter went faster than the imperial court's military order, so it can be seen that he sent the letter as soon as the capital calmed down."

"When the imperial court learns about the situation everywhere, it always has to think about how to deal with it, so the military order is naturally slower."

Talking while reading the letter, not to mention the worrying words in the letter, Luo Bing also told them very happily that the Luo family's case was reopened, the charges were cleared, and the family property was returned. Because the Yi people surrounded the capital.

Anpingwei has not fought a war for more than ten years, and the capital has not seen a sword for a long time.When the Yi people suddenly approached the city, the whole capital panicked.Because Luo Bing had just returned to Beijing from Liaodong, he was introduced to the Minister of the Ministry of War by an old friend of the Luo family because he knew the feelings of the barbarians. The minister of the Ministry of War under his praise was appreciated by the emperor. Lead to the court to ask about strategies, and won the sacred heart.When he knew that he was the descendant of the Luo family, the second place ten years ago, the emperor ordered a retrial of the major Jiangnan case, and the Luo family's grievances were finally resolved.

The only thing that surprised Ning Wan was that Luo Bing did not become a scholar of the Zhongji Palace, but a member of the Ministry of War. But she thought about it, and many things were different. Brother Luo is now appreciated by the emperor because of his strategy against barbarians Therefore, it is also necessary to be appointed to the Ministry of War.Moreover, she had inquired specifically before that although this official is not very high-ranking, but many people can often see the emperor. Reinstated.

When Luo Bing wrote the letter, it was the first time the siege of the capital was lifted, so he knew nothing about the situation in Liaodong.But after all, he had lived in the border town for ten years, and he had already guessed that Anping Hutai would bear the brunt of the siege, so after telling the story of the Luo family, he asked about their current situation, and his worry was clearly on the paper.

Ning Wan put down the letter and began to study the ink, then looked down at Tie Shi's reply, "Why didn't you write the news of Harran's beheading?"

Tie Shi laughed, "Brother Luo must already know it by now, so I don't need to write it."

"I think the head of Harran should be sent to the capital. Do you think Brother Luo will be surprised when he sees it?" Thinking of Tieshi's achievements in beheading Prince Harran, Ning Wan beamed with joy, "He will definitely tell the emperor, behead him!" Lu Tieshi of Harlang is my comrade in Duolun!"

"It's really nothing. If it wasn't for Harlang who happened to meet me on Anpingwei Street, Nengli would be able to kill the prince of the Yi people so easily." Tie Shi said so, but he couldn't help laughing, and pinched Ning Wan again. Nose, "Look how proud you are!"

"It's not easy to show it in front of outsiders, so why can't I be proud at home for a while?" Ning Wan said, "Because you don't want to be proud, I have to do it for you."

Now that everything is going well in Anpingwei, Tie Shi also has time to laugh and laugh at home with his daughter-in-law. As soon as the letter is finished, he handed the pen to Ning Wan and said, "You can write a few words for Yan'er below, Brother Luo said she Miss you very much."

That little girl Luo Yan might not really miss herself, because of Tie Shi's reason, she always has a little bit of grudge against herself, and the so-called words that miss her very much were written by Brother Luo, so Ning Wan didn't believe it.But since Tie Shi couldn't see it at all, she just smiled and said: "The hazelnuts on the stove are ready, I have to take them off quickly. You can add another sentence for me below, I miss Yan'er very much, and then tell her Pray for the elders, but also take care of your body."

Tie Shi followed Ning Wan's words and added a sentence below, dried the ink and folded up the letter and put it in the envelope, "Being able to receive Brother Luo's letter before the Chinese New Year makes me feel much better!"

At this time, Ning Wan had already picked up the roasted hazelnuts on a plate. It turned out that they built a new kang, so naturally they built a stove, which was just outside the anteroom. They didn't use it for cooking on weekdays, but it was very convenient for boiling water and so on. Ning Wan asked someone to make two shallow iron plates by the way, throw some snacks on them from time to time and bake them, and eat them as a supper at night, which is convenient and interesting.Right now, I knock out the hazelnuts, one for myself, and one for the iron stone. It tastes especially delicious when eaten with heat, and it is soft, which is different from usual. Mushrooms and other earthen objects, but the barbarians came, but nothing was given away.”

"Forget it, is there anything in the capital?"

"That's right, the Luo family's property has been returned, and the life of Brother Luo and Yan'er will be easier."

The two discussed the New Year again, and Tie Shi said, "I always want to stay in Anpingwei, so let's send you back to Hutai first."

Ning Wan said: "Don't be so troublesome, let's go back together in the second year of junior high school." After all, I live with my father-in-law. It would be really ugly if she left during the Chinese New Year, and she also has a lot of things to do in Anpingwei .

Now that Mrs. Dong is back, Lu Tieyuan no longer sees people all day long, and the west courtyard has some meaning of living with others. Everyone is in harmony, and the smiles on the father-in-law's face have increased. Naturally, Ning Wan wants to maintain this. A rare peace.

On New Year's Eve, although one of Tie Shi and Ning Wan had to climb the city wall and the other went to the Charity Bureau to help make dumplings, they still sat at home and talked for a while, and ate a few dumplings, which was considered a family reunion.

Ning Wan saw that the family's New Year's Eve meals were prepared well and all the items were in place, so she knew it was Dong's contribution.Previously, the three aunts in the west courtyard were in charge of the house, and they had always been dissatisfied with each other, so everything was in a mess, and I was really too lazy to take care of it, but Mrs. Dong got her own order to manage the courtyard.So after the new year, he secretly gave her an extra 100 taels of silver, "You don't need to tell others about this, it's for your private house."

Dong had no choice but to go back to her natal family, but she was a concubine, and it was difficult for her to live in her natal family for a long time. Since Lu Tieshi took over Anpingwei, her natal family repeatedly urged her to go back and make friends with her second sister-in-law. It happened that Lu Tieyuan came to pick her up again. , and came back.When they arrived at her husband's house, the second sister-in-law gave her 100 taels of silver and asked her to take care of the housework. She was already very happy, but now she was even more surprised, but she smiled and said: "Yesterday, I gave the child a lot of New Year's money. How can I return it?" I can ask for money from my second sister-in-law."

Ning Wan said: "You also know the situation between us and here, so it's not easy to intervene in everything, and I want you to worry about it. Now the matter of father-in-law's recovery is the most important thing, so you must be careful."

Mrs. Dong agreed again and again, "Second sister-in-law is a person who does big things, and now I just leave these small things in the family to me."

In the second year of junior high school, Ning Wan and Tie Shi rode back to Hutai, met their natal family and two children, and made a promise to Huaihuaer and Songer, "When grandpa recovers from his injury, father and mother will be together again." If you can move out, then you can all be taken over, and the family will still be together!"

After hearing this, Niang asked: "My father-in-law is still here, can you move out?"

Father said: "They don't live in the Lu family's house now, and it makes sense to move out sooner or later, but they also have to take over from the old man's house."

Ning Wan smiled and said, "When we buy a house and move out, we will naturally pick up my father-in-law, but even if my father-in-law refuses, I still want to move. In fact, I don't want to live in the commander's mansion for a long time, and the new house has already been bought. , right now it's just because the father-in-law's injury is hard to mention."

Although Huai Hua'er and Song'er lived well in her grandfather's house in Hutai, she still missed her parents, especially Huai Hua'er, who was already very sensible, so they were very happy.

Tie Shi understood his daughter-in-law's thoughts best, and said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Right now my father is recuperating, we can't say anything, and we can't move. After this period, I will always settle the family well."

Parents said: "We are all at ease."

Talking about gossip for a while, father said: "Wu grain merchant in Mayi Town came to your house to find you about his son, and wanted us to help you introduce him, so we pushed it away because the son-in-law is too busy now."

Ning Wan then asked: "Which son of the Wu family has an accident?"

Niang asked in surprise, "So you didn't know? Wu Er was killed by Commander Zhou!"

Tie Shi and Ning Wan really didn't know, "It turns out that Wu Er is the businessman who was killed!" The Anpingwei Rebellion originated from Commander Zhou's sudden killing of a businessman, which aroused deep conflicts between civil officials and military officials. As for Zhizhou's sudden death and the destruction of the city, this matter has not yet come to light, and Anping City has always kept silent about it.When Tie Shi went to Anpingwei, he only obeyed orders to defend the city, and everything Ning Wan did revolved around helping him defend the city, so they never inquired about the past.

Although Tie Shi met Wu Er, it was just a one-time acquaintance, so it was fine. Ning Wan sighed again and again, but said: "I thought his methods were too extreme and despicable, not the right way, and now I don't want to end up like this so quickly!" Then he was puzzled, "Why did the Wu grain merchant come to us? Tieshi is only temporarily taking over the task of guarding the city, and doesn't ask a single word about civil matters."

The parents said, "We don't know. Seeing that Wu Liangshang lost his son, he was very sad, so it's not easy to ask."

Everyone knew that Wu Er's death would have an inside story, and now Ning Wan has a vague feeling that Wu Er's death is actually related to the old affairs of the Lu family.At the beginning, Wu Er planned to tell himself the secret in order to compete for the coal business, but he didn't listen.

Sure enough, a few days after Tie Shi and Ning Wan returned to Anpingwei, Wu grain merchant found her through an official's wife, "I want to ask my wife something, as long as she is willing to tell me, I am willing to donate a thousand shi of grain."

After Ning Wan arrived in Anpingwei, although she also led everyone to open a charity bureau to rescue the wounded and comfort the soldiers, etc., but in fact it was far behind compared to Hutai County.In Hutai County, people all over the city support and help them. If they have money and things to donate, those from poor families will contribute. The people in the city are better, and some poor families even dismantle their new padded jackets for the New Year to make military uniforms and send them to the city wall.

But in a big city like Anpingwei, where the soldiers are not able to wear thick jackets, no one is willing to donate except for the officials and wives who donate money and materials, and only the officials and wives are limited in their participation.Now Wu grain merchant's proposal is very attractive, the lady who introduced it happily told Ning Wan that finally there is a merchant who wants to donate to them.

Ning Wan was also happy to hear that someone offered to donate, but when she saw the emaciated Wu grain merchant, she quickly put away her smile, and offered her seat courteously, "Uncle Wu, this is the end of the matter, you still have to take care of your health!"

Wu Liangshang was originally fat, his body was like a barrel, his fat face was full of blush, he looked like Amitabha Buddha at first glance, and it happened that he was always smiling, because Ning Wan bought all the mung beans in his family and then sold them at a high price At that time, he was still holding back his smile.But now the flesh on the face and body is gone, the clothes are shaking on the body, the extra skin is hanging down, and he is more than ten years old, with a sad face, he refuses to sit down at this moment, he just said: "Madam Lu , we are relatives and old friends, now please tell me all those things for my poor short-lived son! If Madam refuses, Uncle Wu will kneel down for you!"

How could Ning Wan make him kneel in front of her, she hurried forward to stop him, and helped him to sit down first, "Speak up if you have something to say." After thinking about it, she still said everything she knew, after all, human life is at stake.

"When Tiishi was in Huju Mountain, he mined coal to subsidize military expenses. At that time, the second master Wu came to take over the coal business. I refused. He stopped me halfway and said that there is a secret that can make our Tieshi The general won the father-in-law's post, I just said that I didn't want to know, and I refused. But in fact, I knew this secret very well, now that Uncle Wu has found me, I will naturally tell the whole story."

After the father-in-law got the official position by relying on military merits, he actually sent someone to his hometown to pick up his mother-in-law, but instead of receiving anyone, he went back and reported that the mother-in-law left because her son was gone, her husband hadn’t heard from her for a long time, and she had nothing to live for. She left the Lu family and remarried.Therefore, the father-in-law married the Zhou family. Later, after the matter was clarified, the Zhou family had already given birth to a son, and also asked the imperial court for a royal order, so it would not be appropriate to reveal the past.So the Zhou family retreated to the Buddhist hall, and her mother-in-law was an honest person who would not fight or snatch, and then it became the situation when Ning Wan married.

These things are well known, so although Mrs. Zhou robbed other people's husbands, one is that she is the commander's own sister, and the other is that many people also think that she is innocent, and she has firmly gained the upper hand for more than ten years.

Later, Tieshi became promising, and Ning Wan married into the Lu family. Although she did not openly fight for her mother-in-law, she supported the old house of the Lu family and earned her an imperial order. The wind slowly turned again. Everyone felt that her mother-in-law was actually is the most pitiful.

Later, Mrs. Zhou followed her son to the capital, and more people sympathized with her.She is also unlucky, she is obviously a lady from the official family, she said she is married, but she has been guarding in the Buddhist hall for decades, and was forced to leave her hometown when she was old.

Everyone even believes that the father-in-law is a villain!

but?Ning Wan said: "People in the world are not fools, and there are many flaws in it: First, Tie Shi's eldest brother was born in the eighth month when his father-in-law married his mother-in-law. Of course it can be said to be premature, but as the saying goes, '[-] It's hard to feed a child born at eight months, but my eldest brother has always been in good health, even when he was a child, he didn't get sick a few times, and the old people in Anpingwei know it."

"Secondly, when the father-in-law sent people to the old house, they didn't see the mother-in-law, but they found out that she had remarried. In fact, there are many relatives in the Wu family near the old house. They all knew that the mother-in-law almost died because of the loss of her son. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu took them home to take care of them, and Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu’s house was only half a mile away from the old house, just a few steps away! Could it be that the person who came to inquire about the news was a fool?”
