Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 55 Farewell
June 1590, 6 AD.House of Thousand Households, early in the morning.

"Have you packed Laifu's things?" Mother Yang asked again.All the family members below responded, "It's been cleaned up early."

Huang Laifu is going to go out to Beijing today, and a few days ago, Qianhu Zhai started packing Huang Laifu's luggage, but Yang was worried about his son, and until last night, he was still thinking about what his son would bring when he went out, and asked Over and over again, as the saying goes, a mother who travels thousands of miles is worried, so no wonder she is worried.

This time accompanying Huang Laifu, in addition to Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu who were his two eternal companions, Huang Laifu also brought four other servants.Today, Gu Qianhu, Gu Yunniang and others will also go out with Huang Laifu to Kelan Prefecture.Also, the three sisters stayed in Qianhu House for a long time, and they will leave together today.

All of a sudden, the bustling Thousand Households became deserted.When everyone was about to leave and Gu Yunniang bid farewell to Yang, Yang hugged Gu Yunniang and shed tears: "Oh, everyone is gone, my Yunniang is leaving too, leaving us old men at home."

Gu Yunniang also cried: "Auntie, Yunniang also hates you."

Huang Laifu comforted: "Mother, don't worry, we will be back soon."

The eldest sister Huang Zirou said with a smile: "Mother, don't worry, the daughters will come back to grow old with you soon. With my brother, a rich man, here, why don't we be willing to come back? Don't worry, when the younger brother comes back, we will come back again." back."

Mrs. Yang laughed all of a sudden, and scolded: "You, now you are entangled with your younger brother. With your elder sister here, it is considered unlucky."

Last night, Huang Laifu saw that his sisters were leaving too. Now that he was rich, he gave each sister 50 taels of silver as a gift of filial piety.Each nephew and niece also gave a red envelope of 2 taels of silver.The sisters were very happy after receiving the money.The eldest sister, Huang Zirou, patted Huang Laifu's shoulder happily, and said, "Ah, my younger brother is really getting more and more sensible, and he knows how to honor my elder sister."

Then she pulled Huang Laifu to the side and said in a low voice: "Brother, my sister has lost a lot in mahjong recently, can you give me another 10 taels of silver?" It hurts your body. You always lose in mahjong, so play less.”

The elder sister was just giggling, not knowing if she listened or not, looking into her "sincere" eyes, Huang Laifu couldn't help it, so he had to give her another 10 taels of silver. After thinking about it, he gave her another 5 taels of silver, so that The eldest sister smiled from ear to ear.

At this moment, everyone laughed after hearing Yang's scolding, and the sorrow of parting was swept away.

Huang Sihao and Gu Qianhu were talking over there. He didn't have the attitude of Yang's woman, but he also felt a little bit reluctant. He said to Gu Qianhu: "Brother Gu Shi, I didn't expect you to leave too. Kong Ben often comes to Wuzhai Fort to sit and sit, and my brother just sweeps the couch and waits."

Gu Qianhu said: "Brother Huang, there is no permanent banquet in the world, but don't worry, I will come to Wuzhaibao often, elder brother. When you are free, you and your younger siblings will also come to Kelan Prefecture together, and so will elder brother and your sister-in-law." Sweep the couch to welcome you."

After the decision was made here, Huang Sihao said to Yang: "Okay, okay, don't cry, your son has grown up, and he will naturally have to travel far, so he can't stay at home all the time. Besides, Laifu is going out this time to replace his job." It's a happy event, why cry."

After talking for a while, everyone left the Qianhu House.

At the gate of Qianhu House, some servants of the Gu family, as well as servants of the Huang family such as Jiang Dazhong, Yang Xiaolu and others were already waiting there.When Huang Laifu went out this time, he brought a lot of luggage, including gifts for his parents in Kelanzhou, and gifts of money that he needed to take care of on the way to his job.The luggage is thin and soft, or bundled into packs and carried by horses, and the rest are loaded into carts.

The most important of these was the 1000 taels of silver that he carried. The thousand taels of silver weighed about a hundred catties and were carried by two horses.Let Huang Laifu miss the days when future generations don't need to carry cash, but use bank cards.

Although there were various banks in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and the paper-based voucher "Jiaozi" also appeared, deposits and withdrawals still could not be made in different places. When going out, this large amount of silver had to be carried with you.

In addition to these, Huang Laifu also carried a "Military Registration Survey", which was the identity certificate of a soldier in the Ming Dynasty, uploading the soldier's military experience, the year and month of the transfer to the guard station, the number of family members accompanying the army, etc., and a copy of it was archived by the above.This military registration can be used as a guide.

Huang Laifu and his party took Gu Qianhu, Gu Yunniang, three sisters, and their children's entourage with them. When they left Qianhu's house and walked on the street, they were very powerful. Along the way, many Wuzhai people who got the news All the military households in Bao came to see him off, and all the military households shouted at Huang Laifu.

"I wish you a smooth journey, my lord."

"May your replacement go well."

"My lord, take care on the road..."

"My lord, go early and come back early, Wuzhaibao cannot live without you..."

Looking at the respectful and sincere words and simple and respectful eyes of the surrounding military households, Huang Laifu couldn't help but nodded in relief. Finally, his efforts in Wuzhai Fort these days were not in vain.And Huang Sihao, Yang Shi and others were so happy to see that their son was so popular in Wuzhaibao, their sorrows of parting disappeared long ago.

Gu Yunniang also smiled like a flower, looking at Huang Laifu with a look of joy and satisfaction in her eyes.

Huang Laifu waved to everyone along the way, and wherever he went, all the military households bowed and saluted.At the gate of Wuzhai Fort, He Fuqianhu, Jiang Baihu, Yang Baihu, Qu Yuanrui, Wang Qinian, Liu Zongqi, Qian Shi and others all came to see him off.Huang Laifu also saw that Liu Yumei, a young military craftsman, was also mingling with the crowd and secretly looking at him.

Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Huang Laifu briefly explained some matters. Huang Laifu was not worried that his father was sitting in Wuzhai Fort.

After leaving the fort, everyone sent a few miles away. When Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang bid farewell to Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Yang said with a tearful smile: "My son, let's go. My son is promising, and my mother is also happy. I just want to go all the way." Be careful."

Gu Yunniang glanced at Huang Laifu affectionately, and said to Yang: "Don't worry, Auntie, Yunniang will take care of Brother Laifu."

Yang Shi nodded and said, "At least as far as Kelan Prefecture, I will be relieved to have Yunniang taking care of me."

Huang Laifu coughed lightly, thinking what was going on, treating himself like a three-year-old child.However, in the eyes of parents, no matter how old a child is, he is probably treated as a child.

There are three roads from Wuzhai Fort. On the way to the south, you have to pass Liangjiaping Fort, etc., which is the direction to Kelanzhou.As for the three older sisters, they are headed northwest.

When parting from the older sisters, the third sister, Huang Birou, told Huang Laifu, "Brother, be careful all the way." Then she said to Gu Yunniang, "You should also be careful on the way, Yunniang, come and see your sister when you have time." Her daughter, Fu Tuantuan, was also there. At her feet, a childish voice raised her head and said to Huang Laifu: "Uncle is free to come and see Tuantuan."

Huang Laifu lowered his body and smiled at Fu Tuantuan: "Of course, uncle will definitely come to see my little Tuantuan when he is free." He got up again and said to the third sister Huang Biju: "Sister, don't worry, if brother-in-law still treats you badly , I will vent my anger for you, if there is anything, just tell me."

He knew that Third Sister had a soft and introverted personality, and he refused to say anything if he suffered a disadvantage, so he naturally wanted to tell Third Sister.

The third sister smiled sweetly and said: "I see, my sister is very happy to have a younger brother like you."

Everyone left and walked for a long way. When Huang Laifu turned his head, he still saw Huang Sihao. Mrs. Yang stood there looking at him, and then turned to the other side, and there was Fu Tuantuan being hugged by the third sister, who kept waving to him .

Looking ahead again, there are wild fields everywhere, but at this time it is full of greenery and vitality. Huang Laifu couldn't help but be filled with pride. He yelled "drive", and the group of people drove the horses and went forward.

From Wuzhai Fort, go to Liangjiaping Fort first, then pass Liangjiaping Fort, pass Mijing Fort, Yangjiaping Fort and other big forts in Kelan Prefecture, and then not far is Kelan Prefecture.In modern times, it takes 50 minutes to take the train from Wuzhai to Kelan, but it takes more than half a day to ride a horse, not to mention carrying a lot of luggage.

But everyone was not in a hurry, and they all walked leisurely. Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang rode in front together, while Jiang Dazhong, Gu Qianhu and others stayed behind to create opportunities for the two to get along.

Gu Yunniang was riding a horse while chatting and laughing with Huang Laifu. It was hot summer and the weather was hot. Gu Yunniang was wearing thin clothes, and her snow-white face was reddened by the sun, as if she had put a layer of rouge on it. She was extremely charming.

Huang Laifu couldn't help being stunned for a while, thinking: "My future wife is beautiful, so I am blessed. Laifu, Laifu, this name has indeed brought me blessings. My father Huang Sihao took What a nice name."

Of course, Gu Yunniang was keenly aware that Huang Laifu was looking at her, and she was a little shy, but there was more sweet joy in her heart.If it is said that she was very dissatisfied with Huang Laifu when she came to Wuzhaibao a few months ago, but after these few months, her heart has completely changed. Full, full of longing for the future life of the two of them.

At this time, she was usually very concerned about Huang Laifu's opinion of her. Seeing that her lover was attracted by her at this time, her heart was naturally filled with satisfaction and joy.
