Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 323 Situation

Ning Wan and Tie Shi couldn't care less about changing their clothes, and hurried to the main room.

The father-in-law fell on the kang, his face was like gold paper, his breath was weak, and he was unconscious. The blood stains on the kang mattress were very shocking; the third aunt on the kang was standing there crying, "Master, there is nothing wrong with you!" , Baolu is not engaged yet!"

Ning Wan didn't care about her, and hurriedly called for a doctor, and found a dose of hemostatic wound medicine to be taken internally at home, mixed it with warm water and brought it up, asked Tie Shi to support her father-in-law, and went forward to drink it herself.

When Aunt Fei came back from the outside, she immediately piled up on the ground in fright, "How could this happen! Master, don't scare me!"

The second concubine came back with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson. When they saw her, they all gathered around and wept bitterly, shouting loudly, "Master, Tie Yuan is still white now, what should we do?"

It was in a mess when the doctor came, Ning Wan saw that she was really ugly, and she was not good to the patient, so she yelled, "What are you arguing about, get out if you are arguing!" Only then did the room quiet down.

The doctor took the pulse and came to the outside, then shook his head and said: "The old man suddenly became angry, his heart was full of fire, his sores burst, and the arrow poison broke out. Even if Hua Tuo was reborn, he would have no good plan."

People who have lived in the border towns for a long time know that there is no other way for the barbarians' arrow poison to attack, so they all froze, Tie Shi wept and said: "Please do your best to cure it."

The doctor said: "General, if I don't try my best, there is no cure for the curare poison attack, and the old man vomits blood for several liters. Now it is difficult for a god."The family urgently invited several doctors, and they all said the same thing, but there was no good plan.

Just when he was helpless, the father-in-law woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and glanced at everyone's faces, and said intermittently: "Tie Shi, father is most sorry for your mother and you, but now I still have to leave the affairs of the aftermath to you. You can take care of them for the sake of father, and don't let them lose their way. As for the inside, you will know in the future."

Ning Wan couldn't understand for a while, seeing that Tie Shi was also confused, she nodded and said: "Father, I promise, don't worry."

The father-in-law said to the third son: "You are too disappointing. Let your second brother help you find a military post in the future. Don't lose it, otherwise your second brother will not be able to help you."

Lu Tieyuan quickly responded, "Father, I understand."

The father-in-law then turned to his second daughter, "I've always wanted to make an appointment for you, but before I have time, let your second sister-in-law help you find out. She has a good heart, and she can't lose you if she thinks about it."

Lu Baolu couldn't speak for a long time, and Ning Wan pushed her from behind before she answered with a choked up voice, biting her handkerchief and choked up again.The three aunts also began to cry.

Ning Wan just wanted to stop them, but Dong Shi suddenly came out from nowhere and pointed at Fourth Auntie, "What did you do just now? You made your father-in-law vomit blood?" It turns out that she is in charge of the house now, and such a big thing happened , Just now when everyone was in a mess, they went out to investigate, and now they are about to clear things up.

Fourth Aunt repeatedly waved her hands in denial, "No, no."

Mrs. Dong said: "I've already made it clear, you just let us all look at the lantern with good intentions, and sent all the maids and women away, but brought someone in. Are you having an affair with someone? Eunuch is angry?"

Ning Wan thought of the situation at home when she came back, so she believed it somewhat, but it's not the time to ask about it now, so she stepped forward to stop her.I didn't want my father-in-law, but he waved his hand and said, "That's not the case. The person who brought me is here to see me. You don't have to blame her."

Mrs. Dong said: "Eunuch, the woman at the door saw her accepting the bank note with her own eyes."

The father-in-law was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "I said, why are you willing to spread the word for others? It turned out that you took advantage of him—well, among the few around me now, you are the only one who has no children, so I'm afraid that there will be no hope in the future. Some selfishness is also due. Even if I am like this, it is also retribution, and I don't blame you." He spat out a big mouthful of blood again, and then fell silent with his head down.

It has been more than [-] days since my father-in-law was injured, and he has been very stable. Everyone only thought that he would recover. When something happened suddenly, everyone was not prepared at all, and they panicked for a while.Only Ning Wan had done her mother-in-law's funeral before, but now she hasn't lost her sense of proportion.

But father-in-law's affairs are different from mother-in-law's. Previously, mother-in-law's birthday materials and shrouds were prepared in advance, and at that time, everything was convenient at home.Right now they live in the commanding envoy's mansion, it's very troublesome to be host or guest.

But when her mother-in-law passed away, Ning Wan was so sad that she couldn't help herself. She and her mother-in-law had always been together for several years, and their relationship was comparable to that of a mother and daughter.Although she also shed tears at this time, it was much worse, and her heart was still clear, so she did everything in an orderly manner, buying shrouds, billboards, moving spirits, and setting up the funeral hall, all of which were mentioned one by one.

According to the customs of Liaodong, there is no reason to hold funerals at other people's homes. Fortunately, Ning Wan bought a new courtyard earlier than Anpingwei. She originally planned to move out after her father-in-law recovered from her injury, but now she is using it first. Although all the items are not complete, But as long as you have money to buy it is not difficult.

The father-in-law was injured due to state affairs. There were not a few people in Anpingwei who escaped because of him that day, and there is also the son of Shi, who is now the deputy commander. Therefore, there is still mourning after death. At least half of the people in the city came to offer incense. During the memorial service, Tie Shi and Ning Wan were extremely exhausted just by answering the salute. As for the pain, it was actually a pain, but it was a different feeling, it was really hard to explain.

The funeral took place on the [-]th and was buried in the Lu family's ancestral grave.According to the customs in Liaodong, the tomb of the mother-in-law should be re-opened and the father-in-law should be buried with her. However, Tieshi made the decision and only opened another hole next to the grave of the mother-in-law to bury the father-in-law. The two graves stand side by side. , Shima, Shiwangzhu, etc., are very impressive.

At the time of the burial, officials from all over Anping Hutai came to offer sacrifices, but no one said anything. After all, everyone had heard about the old affairs of the Lu family, and everyone knew it in their hearts.Even the Zhou family only offered incense according to the etiquette, and had no intention of fighting for the cemetery for Mrs. Zhou.

When the matter of her father-in-law came out, Ning Wan once asked Tie Shi how to report the funeral to the Zhou family. Tie Shi only said that there is no need to report, so the Zhou family actually came here by themselves.

Ning Wan originally thought that if the Zhou family came to make trouble as the father-in-law's Yue family, she would dismiss the fact that Mrs. Zhou left her husband and son to go to the capital.No matter how you say it, it doesn't make sense for Mrs. Zhou to abandon her husband and live with her official son, especially since her father-in-law inherited the official position from Lu Tiecheng.

But the Zhou family did not come after all.

Ning Wan couldn't help being paranoid, when her father-in-law went that day, the person who came was none other than a grain merchant from Wu, what did they say that made her father-in-law suffer from an arrow attack and die?Could it be that Wu Liangshang really caught Commander Zhou's handle?What does that have to do with the father-in-law?But the next day, when Ning Wan sent someone to find Wu Liangshang, she learned that he had left Anpingwei overnight, and he didn't know where he went, so she couldn't ask clearly.

In fact, what can I do if I ask clearly?The father-in-law has already passed away, even if he pursues the responsibility carefully, Wu Liangshang is not guilty of capital punishment, not to mention that the father-in-law said before his death that it is all retribution, no one is to blame.

Therefore, she and Tie Shi did not do anything to Aunt Fei, even the 100 taels of silver she got from Wu grain merchants were not recovered, and they only sent her to leave Lu's house to live on her own.As for Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Lu Tieyuan, and Lu Baolu, they have to take care of them, at least they can't watch them starve to death.

After my father-in-law's July [-]th, spring came soon, and all the snow on the land of Liaodong melted, revealing the dark land, and then green seedlings grew, and the traces of the Sui people going south gradually disappeared.

Great changes have taken place in the official circles of Anpingwei and Hutai counties.Anpingwei is still led by Tie Shi as the deputy commander, but the two commanders have changed. The Sun family was dismissed, and the Xu family stepped up, but the Lu family took the initiative to transfer to Beining Mansion, where Mr. Lu conspired. A four-rank idle job.

Ning Wan was afraid that the Lu family would leave a knot in their hearts, thinking that without Tieshi coming, Commander Lu would become the deputy commander. What she wanted to say was hard to say, so she sent Cheng Yi generously, and called Cheng Yi at the restaurant in Anpingwei. A fine banquet was given to Mrs. Lu Shao as a farewell party.

After this period of time, all the wives and wives showed up in public to take care of their affairs, and their tempers became louder. The banquet was very lively with toasting and punching.Ning Wan poured wine to pay respects to Mrs. Lu, and said, "I really hate you to leave!"

Mrs. Lu raised her head and drank the wine, "Our family has lived in Anpingwei for several generations, how could we be willing to part with it. But this time the barbarians went south, everyone was really frightened. Needless to say, my father-in-law, Although he has been a general for decades, it is actually the first time he fought a war. The one in our family told me behind his back that it was easy when he followed Deputy Lu's command to suppress the bandits, but he really had to make up his own mind to defend himself. When I was in the city, I didn't know what to do, seeing the fierce barbarians, I really hated and feared!"

"So their father and son discussed it again and again, and they decided that it would be better to transfer to Beining Prefecture. Although it is better to have a casual job there than to have power in Anpingwei, it is much safer. After all, there are much fewer chances of fighting there, and now the father-in-law only cares about it. Military supplies, no longer need to go to the battlefield.”

Mrs. Lu should have sensed Ning Wan's intentions, so she said frankly: "Our family has always wanted the official position of Anpingwei Commander, and tried every means to do so, but after going through this battle, everyone understands Not to mention commanders, even the commanders who are responsible for defense are not something we can do, and it is easier to manage military supplies."

The Lu family is not considered capable, but they always know what they are suitable for. Ning Wan also said sincerely: "Your Master Lu and Lu Baihu are people who are well-rounded and good at dancing. They will definitely live well when they go to Beining Mansion. Perhaps the Lu family is more suitable for development in Beining Prefecture!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and toasted: "Then I will lend you a good word!"

Ning Wan drank a lot of wine these days, Lou You, Xu Ning, etc. under Tieshi got official official positions; Chen Yong was also promoted to a thousand households, and managed several hundreds of households, stations, etc., including Duolun. Mrs. Yang got the imperial court's letter; other promotions were various, and everyone invited wine and banquets one after another, which was very lively.

Of course, if there is a promotion, there will be demotion and dismissal. In addition to Sun Commander's incident, there is also Xu Qianhu who left the station without authorization to seize the post. The Zhou family naturally lost his wife and was kicked out by the new Qianhu. After leaving the Qianhu yamen, she returned to Anpingwei's natal family.

The change of civil servants is no less than that of military officials.A new Zhizhou Chen came to Anping, probably in view of the fate of the previous Zhizhou, he took the initiative to visit Tie Shi when he got off the bus. Tie Shiyuan is not a difficult person to get along with. Incompatible situation.At this time, County Magistrate Qian was promoted to state judge because of his meritorious service in helping to defend the city, and he also came to Anping City, where he communicated with Mrs. Qian, and the two times became more harmonious.The original state judge was also demoted and transferred to another place because of Commander Zhou's performance, leaving Anpingwei.

And Tieshi also took this opportunity to select three thousand elite soldiers from Hutai, Anping, and head north all the way, recovering all the guards that the imperial court had retreated in the past few decades, forcing the barbarians back hundreds of miles, and Liaodong returned to Gaozu's personal conquest. situation.

In early autumn, Tieshi brought the victorious army back and also passed the news on the grassland.It turns out that after Harlan was beheaded, Zhu Muge who returned to the grassland did not become the Khan King of the barbarians, but the previously unknown fifth prince became the Khan King.But the Khan he made was different from the Khans of the previous generations of Yi people. He was no longer the king and master of the grassland, but became a vassal of another Yi people, and the leader of that branch was the former Ning Wan. I have seen Aoki.

Ning Wan sighed: "Although I also thought that Aoki would change when he became stronger, but in my heart I always feel that Aoki is a very honest and simple person."

"In the past, he may have been simple and honest. But," Tie Shi smiled differently, "He actually instigated the barbarians to go south, and now his tribe has become the most powerful on the grassland."

"And you taught him a lesson?"

"Yes, let me warn him first, going south will not end well!"

Ning Wan just laughed, "Tell him not to have any bad intentions as soon as possible."

Tie Shi said: "I'm too tired after coming back today. I will write a memorial tomorrow. Aoki is willing to send his eldest son to study in the imperial court."

"Sent to the court to study? Are they actually hostages?"

"That's right," Tie Shi said, "he doesn't want to fight with me now, so he promised to become a minister, pay tribute, and ask the court to reopen the market and exchange market, and send his son to the court."

The Yi people were seriously injured this time, and the strength of the newly-emerged tribe was not strong enough, so they bowed their heads to the court.More than a dozen small countries in the east that had not paid tribute for a long time had put away their disobedience when they saw the imperial army entering the desert, and they also sent people to ask Tieshi to send envoys to the capital to become their vassal states.

After the memorial was written, the imperial court quickly issued a decree to seal Tieshi as the commander of the third rank, and lead the tribute officials and others from all barbarians to Beijing to meet his majesty.

Commander Zhou was also traveling with them, but he was sitting in the prison car.At almost the same time, another official document from the imperial court was sent from the General Military Mansion to Anpingwei to escort the former commander of Anpingwei to Beijing for a hearing.
