Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 3 Expectations
Huang Laifu turned his head to look, but there were two shrunken people dressed as servants coming over.From Huang Laifu's memories before, Huang Laifu knew that these were the two people who escorted him on his trip a few days ago.One is Jiang Dazhong and the other is Yang Xiaolu.

Jiang Dazhong is 19 years old this year. As his name suggests, he is dark and thick, with a simple and honest personality.Yang Xiaolu is 20 years old this year. He looks fairer and calmer, with a more alert temperament.

One of the two is the son of Jiang Baihu from the Suocheng Headquarters of Wuzhaibao, and the other is the son of Yang Baihu from the Suocheng Headquarters. Both were chosen as Huang Sihao's servants since childhood.A few years ago, after Huang Laifu was confirmed as a sacrificial person, Huang Sihao designated the two of them as Huang Laifu's personal attendants.

The two knew that Huang Laifu would succeed the position of Qianhu in Wuzhaibao in the future. If he did well, he would also become Huang Laifu's confidant. Their future was in Huang Laifu's control. Dare to neglect.

And Huang Laifu's bravery usually made them fear and admire.Although Huang Laifu was younger than the two of them, neither of them dared to underestimate him. They usually served him on the saddle, fearing that Huang Laifu would be dissatisfied.

When Huang Laifu traveled abroad at the beginning of the year, the two worked hard as personal guards, which made Huang Laifu very satisfied.The journey went smoothly, both of them wanted to return to Wuzhai Fort, not only the young master would be more dependent on themselves, but the master would also reward them.

Unexpectedly, something happened to Huang Laifu, Huang Sihao couldn't help being furious, and severely punished the two of them. If Jiang Baihu and Yang Baihu hadn't had the cheek to intercede for their son, they would have been expelled from the Ding team.

But the final result depends on Huang Laifu's recovery.Huang Laifu can be said to be Huang Sihao's greatest hope. If something happens to Huang Laifu, Huang Sihao will lose all hope, and naturally he will not give Jiang Baihu and Yang Baihu any good looks.

Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu are sons of hundreds of households, they are not suffering from hunger and cold like ordinary military households, and they did not join Huang Sihao's family team for the sake of having enough to eat.However, in the guard, if it is not the confidant of the chief general, there is generally no future in the guard.

So the two of them have been praying for Huang Laifu to be okay these days. Although both of them have been hit by Huang Sihao's [-]th army stick and their movements are somewhat inconvenient, they still insist on inquiring about Huang Laifu every day. Otherwise, if something happens to Huang Laifu, the two of them I am afraid that the future will be bleak from now on.

Huang Laifu asked Huang Lingbin to go first, and stopped by himself. The two boys shrank and came over. Seeing that Huang Laifu was alive and well, and looked completely recovered, both of them showed joy in their eyes.

Yang Xiaolu sneaked up to Huang Laifu, looked at Huang Laifu carefully for a while, and then whispered in disbelief: "Master, you... are you really alright?"

Huang Laifu hummed: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry." He still has a good impression of these two boys. In Huang Laifu's previous memory, they have always been very dedicated in doing things, and they are highly valued by him.This time, the accident cannot be blamed on the two of them.Besides, when I came to the Great Ming Dynasty, I still needed some confidants, and the two of them just needed it.

Yang Xiaolu let out a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "That's good, that's good, the young master doesn't know, these days, I'm so anxious to death."

Jiang Dazhong smiled and said, "I said earlier that you don't have to worry, the young master has a good fortune, and he will be fine. The donkey just doesn't believe my words."

Yang Xiaolu gave him an annoyed look: "I see, you are amazing, okay?"

Jiang Dazhong was even more complacent, smiling with his mouth wide open so that he could see his teeth but not his eyes.

Standing tall, Huang Laifu was taller than Jiang Dazhong. Seeing that the two of them were having trouble moving, he said, "I heard that you two were punished by my father. Are you okay?"

Jiang Dazhong said with a foolish smile: "It's okay, young master, don't worry, with [-] military sticks, Dazhong can walk freely on the same day. As long as the young master doesn't have any accidents, even if Dazhong is beaten with military sticks by the master, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaolu was also busy confessing his love.

Huang Laifu patted each of them on the shoulder, making them grin their teeth.He said: "You two boys, finally have a conscience, well, let's go to eat first, after eating, I have to go out to do some errands." He left after saying that.

Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu hurriedly followed.

The thousand-family house of the Huang family is no different from those ordinary courtyard houses in Shanxi.If it were placed in Taiyuan and other places, it would be regarded as the residence of an ordinary landlord at that time, but in the city of Wuzhaibao, it is already considered the best house here.

Among the Nine Sides, Shanxi Town has always been poor, and Wuzhai Fort is not an important place in Shanben Town, and there are fewer ways to get money. Naturally, the whole Wuzhai Fort is not very bright.

But anyway, Huang Sihao is also a thousand households of Wuzhai Fort, which has been inherited from generation to generation. For a hundred years, most of the good land here has been occupied by the Huang family. In addition, it was common in the guards to deduct the soldiers' food and salaries at that time.Therefore, the life of ordinary landlords in Huang's family is still there. Usually, the family can eat some fish from time to time. As for ordinary military households...

When I walked to the main room in the north room, there were people in the room, and all the family members of Qianhuzhai were here.A large table was already filled with food and wine, and several children were already yelling endlessly there.Different from the later generations, although people in the north generally used heated kangs in the Ming Dynasty, meals were still placed on the big table in the main room, unlike the later generations who reduced the dining table and moved it to the kang.

Huang Laifu took a look. There were large plates of roast pork, big fat chicken and other meat dishes on the big table.Add some vegetarian dishes, and there are hip flasks and wine glasses and the like.Set a large table full.There is also a vat of hot noodle soup on a low table next to it.

Huang Xiurou had been staring at the big fat chicken for a long time, and when she saw Huang Laifu approaching, she called out crisply: "Brother, come quickly, you are waiting for you!"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "Okay, big brother is here, you little greedy cat."

He came from a later life with a lot of material wealth, and he was also considered a successful businessman in the later life. He socialized every day, and he was tired of eating wine and meat. Naturally, he was not very interested in these big fish and big meat.But looking at the people in the house, everyone was moved, not to mention the drooling children.I know that these dishes are not often eaten in Qianhu House.

Naturally, Huang Sihao and Yang Shi were sitting in the front seats. Seeing Huang Laifu approaching, Yang Shi greeted: "Fu'er, come and sit next to Wei Niang." Huang Laifu smiled and sat down beside her.

Yang said to a group of children: "Okay, you little greedy cats can start eating."

All the children cheered, and you fought for me to grab it.Huang Xiurou had quick hands and eyes, and had already snatched one drumstick, but Qian Niu'er snatched the other one.

Huang Laifu smiled slightly. This kind of homely atmosphere made him feel very warm in his heart. The fear of the past few days had already flown to nowhere. He said to himself, from now on, this is his home. These people , is my own family.

He picked up the jug, poured a glass of wine for Huang Sihao and Yang Shi, raised the glass and said: "Father, mother, you have worked hard in raising children all these years, and I would like to respect you."

"Okay, my son is really sensible."

Huang Sihao and Yang Shi looked at each other with gratified expressions in their eyes, and the two elders both raised their glasses and drank it down in one gulp.

Mrs. Yang gave Huang Laifu food again and again: "Come on, Fu'er, your body is just right, eat more." The three sisters' eyes were hot when they saw it.But the younger brother has always been favored at home, and they have long been used to it, and feel that the arrogant younger brother in the past has really become sensible.

Huang Sihao also nodded inwardly. He doesn't talk much, but he usually pampers and cares for his son, not much less than Yang's.His former son gave him a headache, but he didn't expect that after going out for a trip and doing some things, he would be more sensible than before. This may be the so-called misfortune and blessings, and blessings and misfortunes.

Huang Laifu was very satisfied with the meal. He ate a lot of dishes and a few bowls of noodle soup. The only downside was that the taste of the dishes was a little lighter, presumably because there was no chili.

At the end of the meal, the children left early, Huang Sihao was almost drunk, his wrinkled face was flushed, and he was quite drunk. He said to Huang Laifu: "My son, next year you will take over as a father. You need to calm down, practice the bow and horse martial arts well, and stop messing around, you know?"

Huang Laifu looked at his face with white beard and hair, and thought that his father was really old, so he replied: "Yes, father, the child knows."

He stood up and said to Huang Sihao and Yang Shi: "Father, mother, the child has been bored in the mansion for a few days, and wants to go out for a walk, please allow me!"

After staying in the Qianhu House for a few days, Huang Laifu really wanted to go out for a walk, learn more about the outside environment, and decide what to do in the future.Although Huang Laifu knew everything about the environment around Wuzhai Fort from the previous memories in his mind, how could it be better to see it with his own eyes?Besides, Huang Laifu still has one thing in mind that needs to be checked.People are like this, when the problem of survival is solved, they will care about their own future.

The elder sister said with a smile: "My younger brother has such a temperament. He can't sit still after only a few days at home."

Huang Sihao and the elders of the Yang family knew that Huang Laifu couldn't sit still. In the past, he would leave whenever he wanted to, and they would never say hello. Today's performance has already made them very satisfied.Anyway, as long as Huang Laifu didn't travel far as before, they would feel at ease. No matter what, the Huang family had a history of nearly a hundred years in this Wuzhai Fort area, and there would definitely be no problems in this fort.

Huang Sihao nodded, and Yang Shi said, "My son, your body is just right, so be careful when you go out."

Huang Laifu responded.Yang called out: "Dazhong, little donkey!"

Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu hurried over and said respectfully, "I'm here, Madam, please give me instructions."

Just now when Huang Laifu and others were having a banquet in the main hall, a group of servants also ate at a small table not far away. There were vegetables and enough soup and noodles. Naturally, they could not compare with what Huang Laifu and others ate. The military households are very envious.

Yang said: "You two should take good care of the young master, you know? If something happens to the young master again, I will not spare you."

The two almost slapped their chests and swear to God.Only then did Yang feel relieved.

The three came out a few steps, Huang Laifu said to the two: "Boys, did you eat well just now?"

The two responded in unison: "Eat well!"

Huang Laifu said boldly: "That's good, come with me." He was originally a decisive person in later generations, but others were often confused by his slippery appearance of a businessman, and when he possessed Huang Laifu's body, he absorbed him again. Some domineering temper.

He took the lead and walked out, Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu hurriedly followed.

Huang Laifu, who was far away, heard Yang's complaint from behind: "Look at you, if you can't drink, drink less, look at you."

Huang Sihao responded vaguely: "I'm happy..."
