The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 145 Homecoming
"I don't care about glory and wealth. I can create all these myself. I will leave tomorrow, not Chang'an. You two get along well. You go, I don't want to see you." Chu Ying felt a little pain I really don't want to get involved in the messy family affairs of the original owner. I just want to make money so that I can do what I want to do instead of being forced to make a living.

"Oh, I just want to see if you will enter the Lu family's door." Yu Wenge got up, tidied up his appearance, and pushed the door out.

Looking at the overturned tea tray and the scattered pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Chu Ying picked up a pen and wrote her resignation letter. She originally wanted to go back earlier, but now that she encountered such a thing, she didn't want to stay any longer.Originally, I thought that my injury would be better before I left, and I waited for a little tidying up. I took all the medicine and drove away in the dark.

Because of the poor vision at night, I rode slowly. I waited for a relatively open place to make a fire and baked pancakes. I was eating some scorched pancakes and looked up at the stars in the sky. I felt very uncomfortable. In my previous life, I hated the mistress who ruined other people's marriages, and I seemed to be a little close to this mistress. Since Lu Ming and Yu Wenge already had a marriage contract, I couldn't always get in the middle and make them feel suspicious.

Chu Ying waited for the day to light up before driving fast. Fortunately, Lu Ming gave her a public inspection to stay in a post station, so that she could stay for one night with less copper coins. Taking a hot bath, Chu Ying was so comfortable soaking in the bathtub that she almost fell asleep.

It’s almost 15 days away, and I can go back home in about 3 days. Thinking about the wind, food and sleep along the way, those who changed people and horses to send lychees to Concubine Yang were really exhausting manpower. In the era without cars Sending lychees for thousands of miles like that shows that Li Longji really loves Concubine Yang very much.

"I heard that the army is going to be recruited again. Now the age of conscription has been lowered. If you are over 19 years old, you will be conscripted. One family will have one. Those families with only one son are really pitiful. Lao Zhang, your second son is already 17. Hurry up and get married and have a child, don't just leave like the eldest son, without leaving a seed."

"Old Yu, does your news work?"

"The relatives in Chang'an asked someone to bring a letter back to say that the government order will be passed in a few days. I was 21 years old before, but now I am 19 years old. I have to do things quickly. Please tell the matchmaker earlier. If not, the matchmakers will be too busy to find a good daughter-in-law."

After taking a bath, Chu Ying went to eat supper at a food stall outside. She saw that several people at the next table were discussing the new military conscription order, and they all dispersed without saying a few words. The people at the next table were listening to the news. They all went back to their homes and hurriedly reported.

Chu Ying drank the bone soup and took out the sliced ​​meat from hunting on the road, and ate the last pancake made by Ye Qiu. "Little brother is from the north. Eat slowly. You are still young. If you can walk, walk around and look at the market. It will be difficult to find a city gate when you are seventeen, eighty or nineteen years old."

Chu Ying watched as the shopkeeper put away all the cooks. It seemed that the stall was about to be closed, but it was still early. "Shopkeeper, why is there such a big reaction to this new decree? Didn't it mean that a good soldier can be a part-time official? Isn't that good."

The shopkeeper of the food stall smiled helplessly, and added some hot soup to Chu Ying, "It seems that you are young and ignorant, and you don't know many things. In recent years, you have often called the Western Regions. , and food, grass and military supplies are not so easy to transport, the most important thing is that those barbarians are good at riding and shooting, and they are all very powerful."

The Western Region is vast and vast, and the people there ride around all year round, so they are naturally better at riding horses. "Our soldiers should not be bad, right?"

The shopkeeper of the food stall put the remaining pieces of meat and bones in Chu Ying's bowl. Seeing that the boy was a little pale and thin, he must have been very tired from the journey. Anyway, he closed the stall and gave it to her. There is still someone who can chat a little. chatter.

"Of course it's not bad, but these recruits have not been trained for a few years before going to the battlefield. They don't know how to fight, and then they can only run around. It was better a few years ago, and they will issue some armor. Now they have to Take, although being a soldier can take care of food and lodging, those who couldn’t survive at home a few years ago decided to join the army. Now, even if it’s begging, no one actively thinks about becoming a soldier. It’s all because of government orders. .”

Chu Ying was full. Originally, the shopkeeper gave so much meat for a bowl of broth for 3 cents, so Chu Ying took 5 cents, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

"No, it was originally for you, just 3 Wen."

Chu Ying pushed back the rough old hand who handed the money back to the shopkeeper, "I still think it's too little, I don't have much money in my pocket, and I have to go home when the time comes, you go back quickly, slow down on the road Let's go." Chu Ying hurriedly ran away, and the shopkeeper insisted on paying back the extra 2 coins she gave.

When they got to the post station, Chu Ying lay in the clothes and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and she fell asleep when it was almost dawn. Later, she thought that she was a daughter now, even if she was willing to take the initiative to join the army, others might not want her, As a cooking aunt in the cooking class, others might dislike me and slow down the schedule just like that.

After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I was just thinking in vain. Why don't I earn more money and donate a few more pieces of armor to the army? Chu Ying waited until it was almost noon before waking up to wash up and go to the market to collect the animals that were killed along the way. The fur was sold, and I kept the fur of a little white fox, which could make a nice scarf then.

I stuffed 4 qian silver into my luggage and bought a lot of dry food and set off. Although I didn’t go to Chang’an to see all the prosperity of the world, I also enjoyed a lot of beautiful natural scenery all the way back. Swimming?" Waiting to get to the south where there are more waterways, Chu Ying took more waterways, the speed will be faster since then, and it will not cost much copper coins to come here, which saves a day in the end.

Ye Qiu asked Wang Naiyuan to recruit more honest, reliable and capable people to print out the books as soon as he received Chu Ying's letter, and he started to do it as soon as he received Chu Ying's letter, waiting for his hometown and Zhulin to order it to be arranged. Ye Qiu leaned against the carriage and slept for a while. "Sister, the one in front looks like Chu Ying, but the disheveled one doesn't look like that." Heitan squinted his eyes to see the person coming on horseback clearly.

"Chu Ying is still playing in Chang'an. Why did she come back? You must have misread it. I'm afraid you are exhausted from walking around with me these few days. Go back and have a good rest." Ye Qiu closed his eyes and rested his mind. , I didn’t want to open my eyes and look into the distance. At the beginning, when Chu Ying left, I often felt as if I saw Chu Ying, but every time I recognized the wrong person, and then I never went forward to confirm it. If this guy comes back Will definitely go home first.

Chu Ying rode a carriage and then turned around to catch up, "Heitan?"

"It's Chu Ying. I'll say it's Chu Ying. Sister Ye, look quickly, Chu Ying is back." Heitan pulled the carriage to a stop and raised the curtain of the carriage.

Ye Qiu rubbed his tired eyes, and looked at the unkempt Chu Ying in front of him, where did this guy escape?When I went there, my clothes were clean and my complexion was pink, but now I look like a little beggar on the side of the road. "What are you doing here? You rubbed your face into the ashes, right?"

Chu Ying saw that Ye Qiu, whom she had not seen for a long time, became more and more delicate and feminine, she was a little choked up, but she still sniffed and put all the souvenirs she bought back on the carriage, "This is what I gave You brought good rouge, facial balm, and Qingdai, which is said to make eyebrows so beautiful."

Ye Qiu looked at the gift he was holding carefully, and stroked Chu Ying's greasy hair, "With this money, why don't you stay in a better inn and make yourself better? What do I want these for? I'm getting old."

Chu Ying hugged Ye Qiu, "It's really a prime age, Heitan, you say Ye Qiu is good-looking, why is he getting old." Ye Qiu pushed away Chu Ying who was hugging her coquettishly, and pulled Chu Ying's hair Tie it up a little.
