Lucky not to forget

Chapter 6 Depei's Military Records

The thief who committed the crime in the open channel that day has been detained by the government. It is not very clear how he was caught, but the yamen servant who came to spread the word said that he seemed to have been caught while stealing from another house, and he even confessed that he had been there. On the open channel, he forcibly snatched money from a cloth store accountant, and pushed him down the dam. Macro is fair.

The Liu family was overjoyed when they heard this, and Zhang hurriedly lit candles and incense in front of the ancestors, and murmured, "It's true that the ancestors showed their spirits, and we have also let go of the evil man, the pain of these many days Anyway, let’s ask for an explanation. Brother Pei’s father has been in so much pain that he can’t sleep every night since he fell into the open ditch, and he has lost weight several times. When I see the robber tomorrow, I will definitely bite off a piece of his flesh to relieve me. Hatred in my heart!"

Wu Wang paid homage to the county magistrate, "I wonder if my uncle will go to the court tomorrow? He can't move his legs and feet, and he might not even be able to sit in the car. If the bumps on the road break his bones, that's terrible." How good!"

The county magistrate said, "No matter what, we have to think of a way. If the victim doesn't come to the court, he won't be able to cure the criminal, so he has to be put in prison. The county magistrate has a lot of official duties, and the cases are one after another. This meeting If you can't get the trial, you have to suppress it. After a round of rounds, it will be a head sooner or later, and I'm afraid it will be suppressed until the autumn!"

Wu Wang sighed, the uncle's legs were just connected and it was not suitable to move. The carts bought with the cattle last time were fine for oil, grain and grain, but if you want to lie down, you may not be able to do so.Looking at Mrs. Zhang again, she doesn't need to worry about things like An Li, a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, but her aunt always doesn't know where things are going, and when she encounters troubles, she is still here. She is not doing serious business, but is busy. I went to offer incense to the ancestors, which really made people laugh and cry.

Don't hope to thank you again and again before sending the officials out, sitting at the table in a daze, worrying about the carriage and horses.

There are poor families in this steamed bun village for dozens of miles, how many of them can have a carriage?Apart from Qi's family, there is only Lizheng's family, and she will never go to Qi's family. She doesn't know what kind of bad words to hear when she sees Aunt Qi!There is a good person there, but his son Wen Jun is very difficult. I haven't seen him in the past two years. He will definitely drag her parents to make a fuss and make her brain hurt for a long time. After thinking about it, I should call my aunt. Well, how can she, a girl, borrow things in public, without asking someone to point them out behind her back!

As soon as these words were said to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang immediately wiped her hands and said, "I'll go right away, let's talk about borrowing or not. As a last resort, I spread a quilt on the bullock cart. It's better than asking someone to carry it."

After Mrs. Zhang left, Wuwang rolled up the curtains in her uncle's room together with the curtains on the door, so that the room became brighter at once, and she said, "Now that it's summer, uncle is also blowing wind, so you have to open the windows." , so as not to get sick from boredom."

Liu Hongdao, "I also said the same thing, who knows that your aunt won't let me, because I'm afraid I'll attract evil spirits."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "It's not the twelfth lunar month, where does the evil come from, it's not a big deal if it's only open for a while."

Liu Hong saw that her face was clear and bright, and she didn't seem to have any troubles, so he probed, "Then Mr. Pei came twice, did he talk to you about anything?"

Wu Wang calmly said, "I didn't say anything, but I think I'm a polite person."

Liu Hong wanted to ask in detail, but felt that it was not easy to speak out. Thinking about his niece and daughter who always knew how to advance and retreat, and his uncle and aunt's words were taken to heart, he stopped talking, and only instructed, "A good skin is useless, you can remember it. "

Wuwang knew the meaning behind his uncle's words, nodded and said, "I'll save it."

After two sticks of incense, Mrs. Zhang came back, with no hesitation on her face, sat down and drank tea, "It's all agreed, Wen Lizheng is very happy to hear that the gangsters have caught him, and it happens that his brother Jun will be arrested tomorrow." If you want to take the examination of Xiangwei, you will go with us."

Don't expect to suddenly feel dark clouds cover the sun, what a coincidence, Wen Jun is going to take the provincial exam again?How many times is it?What's the point of taking the exam if you don't pass the exam? It's really not the material to be an official. It's better to learn how to do business from his uncle!Just take the exam, why do you have to go together?He likes to join in the fun so much, no wonder he can't even try the "Four Books" righteousness and three ways!
At this time, Depei walked in wiping sweat, with a piece of skin scratched on his forehead, bleeding out.Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, quickly covered him with a handkerchief, and shouted, "Where did you go wild! Did you fight Ruan Qiu again?"

De Pei didn't take it seriously, walked up to Liu Hong and said, "Father, a man came to the village today. He is a relative of Lin Fu's family. I heard that he is a retainer of Prince Yan's mansion. He is very talented. He made gestures with some children in the village A few times, he only told me to practice martial arts, and asked me if I was willing to go with him and take me into the army, but I didn't dare to make up my mind, so I came back to listen to my father."

Liu Hong's face was green and green.Yan Wang Zhu Di?I don't know what he is like, but the Liu family committed crimes before the emperor. After these years, they lived a long life even though they lived in poverty. If you make a mistake, you will be in a deep abyss, and your life will be in danger. It is better to be a commoner in Mantou Village.Immediately said, "You are still young, what can you do in the army? It's better to wait a few more years and wait until your body grows up."

Depei is a stubborn character, he was very displeased to hear his father's words, and said in a muffled voice, "We are a family of criminals, and we can't be tested for fame. If we want to get ahead, we have to join the army. He will be honored by his military exploits. Parents have After a good day, others dare not come to call my sister an aunt, what's wrong?"

Wu Wang has always known that De Pei is different from other children, he is much more mature and sensible, but he never expected that he would have such thoughts at such a young age. When he said these words to the seventh inch, looking at his uncle, he really showed embarrassment , full of worries.

Depei said again, "I will be nine years old in three months. The man said, let me learn some boxing skills from him first, and then he will teach me strategies. I will make great achievements in the future. Wouldn't it be better than doing it here?" Mantou Village is strong in farming!"

Zhang said, "Is there such a thing? Could it be a kidnapper!"

Depei's face was serious, and he said firmly, "He showed me the waist badge, which belongs to the Yan Palace."

Liu Hong thought for a long time before saying, "Go and talk to him, just say that Dad wants to thank him, but he has trouble with his legs and feet, so invite him to come home for a drink, and wait for me to inquire carefully before making any fuss."

Depei went away happily, but I don't know if Depei should be enlisted in the army. What happened to my father back then, my uncle and aunt never told her, but I still have to ask her now. Today's emperor kills people every now and then. It's not a big sin to be sure, if that's the case, it's not a bad idea for Depei to enter the Yan Palace.He asked immediately, "What did my father behead for? Was it treason?"

Liu Hong shook his head and said, "Is there any way out for us to seek rebellion? Your father was originally in charge of the horse administration in the camp of the border town guards, but he was only in charge of the horses and horses when he got drunk and missed dispatching the chariots and horses to attack Yuanying. condemned sin."

Wu Wang said, "Since it's not treason, uncle might as well talk to that person directly, and don't go if it doesn't work."

Liu Hongdao, "I also intend to do the same. I heard that the King of Yan, Zhu Di, knows people well, so I don't think he is the kind of unreasonable person."

De Pei brought the man back after a while, and saw that the big man had a hulking back, a beard all over his face, and his legs were windy when he walked.Wuwang retreated in a hurry and went to make wine and meat with his aunt.I vaguely heard them talking through the wall, probably it was Depei who was young but had excellent qualifications, His Royal Highness the King of Yan did not ask where he came from, it was promised that he would take Depei away tomorrow, Mrs. Zhang was crying bitterly by the stove, Wuwang was also reluctant, so he could only comfort her by saying that a good man has aspirations everywhere. In the end, he couldn't help crying. A young man like Depei left his parents and sisters to live in the military camp. I don't know how many hardships he will endure in the future. Now that the vassal kings are separated, what if there is a war!
Depei was overjoyed, and ran out and took Wu Wang's hand and said, "Sister Chunjun, did you hear that? Erye Ji is taking me away, as I told you before, I will return Bi Na Dongzhu in the future. Good things are given to you, and I will never make you and my parents suffer any more, do you believe me?"

Wuwang smiled sadly, straightened the scarf on his head and said, "Of course I believe it very much, but the army is no better than at home, the most important thing is to save your own life, you know?"

De Pei said, "Don't worry, I know I can save my life."

Mrs. Zhang was so reluctant to part with her son that she almost choked on crying. She tugged at De Pei's sleeve and said, "Are you going to leave tomorrow? My brother, you can talk to that Ji Erye, can it be done after two more days? "

Depei said, "Since we have decided to go, we might as well go faster, what kind of mother-in-law and mother are like girls!" Fu then said, "Mom, you must not allow my sister Chunjun to be a concubine to others, wait for me to do it. Make plans when you come back."

Mrs. Zhang laughed again, "Isn't it waiting for you to come back to be a matchmaker for her? Even if you are 24 years old, it will still take ten years. What will happen in ten years? Jun Chun is already [-], isn't she an old woman! "

"That can't be a concubine either!" De Pei pouted and said, then turned and went back to the room to pack and change clothes.

The next day, Depei left with Ji Erye at Maoshi, and the whole family was heartbroken.

At a moment's notice, the Zheng family's horse came and stopped in front of Liu Hong's room. Wen Jun jumped off his precious Dawan horse and smiled shyly when he saw Wu Wang.I don't want to think that I was blinded by crying. In the past, it was absolutely impossible to make him feel ashamed. Now that I haven't seen him for two years, I have changed a lot. I have grown so much taller. I think it is because I have been locked at home all day, and my face has turned white. Yes, the sky-blue shirt looks a bit like a literati.

Wu Wang said, "Won't you delay the scientific examination if you go with us?"

Wen Jun said, "I didn't enter until three o'clock, and it's only five or six miles to the village, so I won't miss it."

Don't hope that there are some evil thoughts, so what if you make a mistake, and you may not pass the exam if you don't make a mistake. Wen Jun's luck in the exam is really bad!
Wen Jun leaned over and said in a low voice, "Have you promised him?"

Wu Wang was very surprised, this matter has become a secret known by the whole village?But why is it so far from the truth?She stared at him angrily, but did not answer.

Wen Jun said to himself, "That's better than marrying Zhang Zhang." His face was slightly distorted, he still stared at him, and quickly lowered his head.

"Is it better to be a concubine? Do you think I deserve to be a concubine?" I really want to hit him on the head with a rolling pin!This Wenjun's speech has never been pleasing to others, although he has no malicious intentions, he is also unpopular.

Wuwang left him to greet his uncle and aunt to get into the car, Wen Jun was stunned and annoyed, then saw Wuwang come out again and said to him, "My uncle has a handicap and can't get in the car, please help me. "

Wen Jun hurriedly recruited a servant and ran away, and everyone worked together to load Liu Hong into the car and headed all the way to the county government.

Because of the hot weather, the windows of the car were upturned, and Wen Jun bowed to look inside the car from time to time. The people in the car had just sent De Pei away, and all of them were drooping, so he couldn't say anything, so he had to stay silent all the way.After walking about five miles, Wu Wang probed and said, "Let's break up first, you go to the examination room yourself, and we have to go to the county."

Mrs. Zhang also said, "Brother Jun has been careful this time, and he will definitely win the exam."

Wen Jun said nonchalantly, "You should try your best, it's just that fame and wealth are determined by God, so it's fine if you don't pass the exam."

Wu Wang said with a smile, "it's better to donate an official to do it. It will save more effort."

After resigning from Wenjun, he walked south for dozens of miles and entered the county. The carriage stopped at the gate of the yamen. Went to the yamen.

A carriage with a green baize tent was parked on the side of the street, and the person in the carriage asked, "Have you ever gone in?"

The servant outside replied, "Just now Wang Dingru led someone to carry it in."

The person in the car asked again, "Where's the girl?"

The boy laughed and said, "Auntie Zhun also went in. I really don't know how lucky Miss Liu is, to make our father put so much thought into it!"

Pei Zhen from the car leaned forward and jumped down, waving his fan, hooking the corners of his mouth, calmly, and muttering, "That Liu Depei should follow Ji Yan on the road..."

Zhu'er was puzzled, "Why did Master ask Mr. Ji to bring this half-children?"

Pei Zhen turned her head sideways, her long silk ribbon fluttering up and down in the morning breeze, and said with a deep smile, "A lot of experience will become a skill, haven't you heard of Aiwujiwu?"
