Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 8
Waking up the next morning, after having breakfast with his family, and after his mother, sister and others left the lobby, Huang Laifu and Huang Sihao sat down to talk.

Huang Laifu told Huang Sihao that he wanted to go outside the fort to see the military households and his own fields.These years are not good, and most of the farmland in Wuzhaibao has no harvest. However, when I traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, I have some experience. Some farming knowledge in the south of the Yangtze River may be useful to Wuzhaibao.Anyway, since I have nothing to do now, I might as well do something for my family.

Huang Sihao said: "My son has grown up, it's up to you to make up your mind. Whatever you need, just order, and I will let those servants do it for you."

The hopes of the Huang family are all placed on Huang Laifu, Huang Laifu is so self-motivated, Huang Sihao is naturally happy, he doesn't care what Huang Laifu does, as long as he has the heart.I heard that Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, maybe there is some advanced farming experience.Anyway, the current situation in the farmland couldn't be worse. It doesn't matter if a dead horse is a living horse doctor, maybe Huang Laifu can accomplish anything.

Immediately, he ordered Steward Yang from Qianhu House to come in and ask him to take Huang Laifu to the settlement outside the fort.Butler Yang is an old man of the Huang family. He is the same age as Huang Sihao. He has white beard and hair. He has worked in the Huang family for more than 20 years and has always been loyal to the Huang family. If he wants to come up with any new tricks, he can just let him do it.

Huang Laifu is used to the life of the 21st century, and he is still a little uncomfortable with the current life. He just wants to do something early to enrich himself.He called Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu, and was about to go out with Steward Yang. At this moment, a servant came in. He gave Huang Laifu a strange look, and reported to Huang Sihao that it was Gu Qianhu and his daughter from Kelan Prefecture. Visiting, already outside Qianhu House.

Huang Sihao was overjoyed when he heard that, and said: "It turns out that my brother from that life is here. Hurry up, go and call Madam, let's go out to greet him!" He smiled and gave Huang Laifu a look.

Huang Laifu coughed lightly. From Huang Laifu's previous memories in his mind, he knew that Gu Qianhu would be his father-in-law in the future, and his daughter Gu Yunniang would be his wife in the future.

Huang Sihao and Gu Qianhu have been friends since they were young, and they are called elder brothers and virtuous younger brothers. After the two had their two children, Huang Laifu and Gu Yunniang, they were married since they were young. .

Gu Yunniang Huang Laifu also knew that she was 15 years old this year and she was quite beautiful, but because Gu Qianhu gave birth to 5 children, the first 4 were sons, and only Gu Yunniang was a daughter, so she was naturally arrogant.But the person is very agile, the small mouth is very sweet, very much loved by Huang Laifu's mother Yang and several sisters.

The two families had already agreed that two years later, Huang Laifu would take over the job of Qianhu, and they would get married when they were two children.Gu Yunniang is 18 years old, exactly the right age.

Gu Qianhu turned sixty this year, and was replaced a few years ago. As the headquarters of Xiwei in Kelanzhou Town, he has always been the commander's confidant, and he is highly regarded.After being replaced, he was also a person who couldn't be idle. In addition to his good health, he would often go out to visit friends. As his family friend, Huang Sihao was naturally the focus of his visits.

Military families don't have as many rules as literati, and Gu Yunniang and Huang Laifu's three sisters are friends, so they can't be entangled. When Gu Qianhu comes to Huang's house, he often brings his daughter with him.In Huang Laifu's memory, although Huang Laifu was lawless in Wuzhai Fort, but in front of Gu Yunniang, for some reason, he was always being turned around by Gu Yunniang.

After a while, Mrs. Yang and several elder sisters arrived, and they all looked at Huang Laifu with teasing eyes. The elder sister, Huang Zirou, even smiled and said, "Brother, is your wife coming to see you, are you happy?" Everyone laughed.Several servants also sniggered.

Mrs. Yang pinched the elder sister lightly, and said, "You are an older sister, you will make fun of your younger brother."

Everyone laughed and went out together, and Huang Laifu also walked out of the thousand-household house with everyone.Several children shouted and followed behind.

When they arrived at the door, they saw a tall old man and a beautiful girl standing at the door. They were Gu Qianhu and his daughter Gu Yunniang.There are also a few people who look like servants in his house, who are waiting for the horses, and they all stand there, exhaling whitely.This morning in mid-November in Shanxi, the weather is still relatively cold.

Huang Sihao greeted him first: "Brother Gu Shi, I didn't expect you to come to Wuzhai Fort in such weather. It's really rare."

Gu Qianhu said with a hearty smile: "Brother Huang Xian, brother is a restless person, and staying in Weicheng is also boring, so why not come and find Brother Xian to drink. Then I heard that something happened to my nephew, so I brought my daughter to visit .”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Huang Laifu. This Gu Qianhu was dressed in a padded robe and fast boots. He was tall, with three gray mustaches and a tough appearance. Like Huang Sihao, he looked like a typical old soldier in a border town.

Seeing Gu Qianhu's benevolent gaze, Huang Laifu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Gu Qianhu: "My nephew pays homage to Shibo, and I miss Lao Shibo, how is Shibo going?"

Gu Qianhu looked Huang Laifu up and down for a while, and then smiled and said: "Okay, the trip was fine, but I heard that something happened to my nephew, and I was anxious. Now that my nephew is fine, your uncle can feel relieved."

He laughed again and said: "Besides, it seems that after the nephew's accident, he is much more sensible than before." Ignoring everyone's sniggers, he said behind him: "Yunniang, you haven't come to see your brother Huang's family yet. ?”

That beautiful girl, that is, Gu Yunniang, appeared from behind Gu Qianhu, stepped forward, bowed to Huang Laifu, and said, "I have met Brother Laifu."

This Gu Yunniang looks about fifteen or six years old, and she is dressed in cotton clothes, which cannot hide her lithe body.There is a fur warmer around the neck, an oval face, beautiful, red from the cold, a pair of big eyes that are full of aura, and a girl's double bun.

She bowed to Huang Laifu, and when she met Huang Laifu's gaze, while others were not paying attention, she wrinkled her beautiful nose slightly, and gave Huang Laifu a big white look.Then she walked in front of Mrs. Yang and several older sisters, holding their hands, auntie, sister kept yelling.It made Mrs. Yang and her sisters so happy, they just held her hand and talked, and even a few little dolls surrounded her and kept screaming.

Huang Laifu saw the demeanor of this underage girl, but he was a little funny in his heart. He was also in his 30s in his later life. This kind of little tricks between children has been seen a lot. Huang Laifu was turned around by Gu Yunniang in his previous life. Things like this will happen again.

Mrs. Yang took Gu Yunniang's little hand to greet Gu Qianhu, and everyone exchanged affectionate greetings for a while before welcoming them into the main hall.After the servants brought tea and water to serve, Huang Sihao asked, it turned out that Gu Qianhu brought his daughter and servants to Liangjiaping Fort yesterday evening, and arrived at Wuzhai Fort this morning after resting for the night.Huang Laifu thought that it was about the same time yesterday, but he didn't meet them.

After a few gossips, Gu Qianhu asked Huang Laifu about the cause of the accident, and also asked about Huang Laifu's travels.

Huang Laifu said something, and Gu Yunniang sat beside Yang, took her hand, and listened.When looking at Huang Laifu, he gave Huang Laifu a supercilious look from time to time.However, when Gu Qianhu asked about Huang Laifu's accident, the concern in her eyes was real.

After talking for a while, after confirming that Huang Laifu was fine, Gu Qianhu chatted happily with Huang Sihao and Yang Shi, and it was all about trivial matters.

Huang Laifu was thinking about his own affairs, and after listening for a while, he stood up and said, "Uncle Gu, Dad, sit down, my son, go to the fields."

Huang Sihao smiled and said, "Okay, let Steward Yang go with you." Gu Qianhu went in without knowing it, Huang Sihao explained in a low voice, and said with some pride: "This kid, after returning from traveling, has become much more sensible. Anyway, the farming in the fort has always been like this, so it’s better to let him do it.”

Gu Qianhu stroked his gray mustache and said with a smile: "Tossing around is worse than doing nothing. This year is getting worse every year. Maybe my nephew brought back the scriptures from the south of the Yangtze River and really accomplished something." Come."

At this time, the god and demon novel "Journey to the West" has been published for decades, and it has had a huge influence on the people of Ming Dynasty. Since Gu Qianhu is free, he also reads related idle books, so he took on this aspect of the tone.

The elder sister smiled and said, "My younger brother has changed his sex. Didn't he act so courteous when he saw his daughter-in-law coming?"

Everyone laughed, and Jiang Dazhong and Yang Xiaolu behind Huang Laifu also laughed secretly.

Huang Laifu was still as if nothing had happened, but Gu Yunniang's cheeks were stained with a touch of blush, coquettishly: "Elder sister..." Yang embraced her lovingly and said in a friendly way: "Okay, okay, our Yunniang Thin-skinned, don't say this in front of everyone."

After listening to her husband's explanation, she was also very happy. Her heart was the same as Huang Sihao's. No matter what Huang Laifu did, as long as she had this heart, she said to Steward Yang who was standing by: "Uncle Yang, Laifu Whatever you need, you can take it from him."

Butler Yang smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, this old slave will definitely take good care of the young master."

Huang Lingbin on the side stood up and said, "I'll go with elder brother too."

Huang Laifu patted him on the shoulder, and said: "You kid, you should read more books at home, maybe you will get some fame in the future."

Huang Lingbin is thin and weak, and with Huang Laifu as his eldest brother, he is serving in the army, so it is natural that he will not be able to replace Qianhu. According to his temperament, he will be reluctant to run the Huang family in the future.Fortunately, Huang Lingbin usually likes to read books, perhaps, he can also take the road of fame.

Hearing what Huang Laifu said at this time, Huang Lingbin smiled embarrassedly and sat down.Gu Yunniang looked a little excited and curious, and said: "Brother Laifu is going to the fields? Yunniang is free, why not go with Brother Laifu."
