What is left behind is not someone else, but the eldest sister of the Xue family who has a engagement with Jia Daihua, and the small name is Sister Jin.
Xue Biao has many wives and concubines, and he has a lot of raising children, but he has only one son and one daughter.
The son is still in his infancy, and his daughter is the eldest sister of the Xue family who is already engaged in a marriage contract. The small name is Jin Jie'er.
In order to avoid being disliked by her in-laws in the future, she was a businessman after making a marriage with the Jia family, Xue Biao sent her daughter to Jia Yan's wife for upbringing. Of course, the two families would not directly use the Xue family's name to pick them up in the name of Jia Yan's wife's cousin.
When something happened to the Xue family, Xue Biao did not pick up his daughter in advance, but arranged for someone to give Jia Yan a silver note and also wrote a letter. If he could be a wife, he would be a wife, and if he could not be a wife, he would be a woman. He would entrust his daughter to Jia Yan and his wife.
Now Jia Yan's wife and husband are injured, and his son's future is half-destroyed, and he can't tolerate Sister Xue Jin, and he will not even ask for silver bills.
Although the stepmother was in a bad mood, the marriage with the Xue family was the root cause.
If the Huo family had not met, it would be unkind and unrighteous for the Jia family to leave Xue Jin's sister, but the ready-made "cousin" is here, so Sister Xue Jin has a place to go.
"Don't worry, Brother Huo Wu, I've found out clearly. The matters of the Xue family cannot be reached. Not to mention Xue Biao's children, even Xue Biao himself will not be wanted, and will not involve others." Jia Yuan said earnestly: "My sister-in-law is ill. She will think more and it will not go against her wishes. Wait for the elder brother to let her relieve her. My elder brother is most sincere. This marriage will not change. I will only temporarily entrust the Xue family's niece to the fifth brother for a while."
Huo Wu frowned and said, "That's my cousin. It's not convenient for you to take care of it. I should take it. But it's really inconvenient for the young and strong yard to be here!"
Jia Yuan was stunned when he heard this and laughed: "This is OK. The Xue family's niece is only six years old, and it is less than a man or a woman."
Huo Wu did not refuse, but refused to accept the bank ticket, but also mentioned the matter that the father and son were about to travel far away. The Huo family could take over Sister Xue Jin, but the young and old who stayed in Jinling in the Huo family would have to take care of the Jia brothers in the future.
Jia Yuan was quite surprised, but he didn't ask the details in detail and left with some worries.
Sister Xue Jin stayed in the Huo family, so as to avoid the trouble, she still hid the Xue family when she was in the Jia family. She only said that she was the niece of Zhen, Jia Yan's wife, and was temporarily entrusted to Aunt Huo Liu for care.
Aunt Huo Liu knew that Zhen’s miscarriage was born, so she didn’t think much about it and happily took over Jin Jie'er.
Jin Jie'er and Niu Niu are about the same age. They are a quiet and sensible little girl. In less than half a day, the two children got together and got in and out.
After being beaten by the Jia family, Huo Wu remembered to ask about the grain shop's work. It was two days later, and Niu Dalang and the others also inquired a lot of news.
Starting half a month ago, the grain shop recruited people to transport grain everywhere, but they all went there but never returned.
The grain shop claims to be in short inventory, but in fact it has not been out of stock, but instead a large amount of grain is sold.
If something is wrong, it is definitely wrong. I just don’t know why I got it.
"There are Wanshan Ridges in Changzhou, and there are many bandit nests inside! There is iron ore at the foot of the mountain, which is nominally an official camp!" Huo Wu whispered and guessed: "I just don't know if this shop is sent to the mountain or to the foot of the mountain."
Niu Dalang and others took a breath of air conditioning.
If that is true, this is not a transport of grain, it is a transporter.
They struggled to survive, whether they became bandits or mine slaves, they were not what they wanted.
"In this world, workmanship is not at ease, but how can you live?" Niu Dalang frowned, revealing a little despair.
Niu Erlang and Niu Qing are all alone and don’t get hungry when they are full. They find a place to eat to eat and cannot starve to death. Niu Dalang wants to support his son, and he can’t help but feel difficult.
Huo Bao remembered Jia Yuan who wanted to make up for hundreds of households and suggested: "There are many vacancies in the army, and it is now convenient to fill them. If you can't find a suitable livelihood, you can join the army with Uncle Jia."
On the battlefield, the roles of officers, soldiers and thieves can be changed at any time. Following Jia Yuan, the future prince, is always more stable than being a coolie.
Everyone looked at Huo Bao together.
Huo Bao's eyes lit up: "Uncle Bao wants to join the army?"
The bandits are hateful, but the real officers and soldiers are also majestic. If they really wear the official skin, they will also be a kind of protection for the common people.
Huo Bao shook his head: "In two days, I will go back to Quyang with my father to visit my uncle!"
Everyone was shocked. Huo Bao was not old, but he was the backbone of the big guy. When he heard that he was leaving, everyone was uneasy.
Uncle Huo, who is qualified to dissuade Huo Wu and his son, did not speak out, and others knew that he was leaving because he was leaving, and they had their own plans.
Huo Bao immediately said, "Grandpa Fifth, Uncle Bao, take me and my elder brother. If you encounter a tough guy, I will scoop up the formation for Uncle Bao!"
Niu Qing also said: "Uncle Huo Wu, brother Bao, I am also considered me!"
Shi Tou looked at Huo Wu and his son, then at his grandfather, lowered his head without saying anything.
However, Niu Dalang listened to Huo Bao's previous suggestions and decided to bring his brothers to join the army.
When Uncle Shi Second was in funeral, Shi Jin also received news. Knowing that Huo Wu and his son were about to go north, he quietly brought Aunt Shi to practice for Huo Wu and his son.
Those deeds and land deeds were exchanged for easy-to-carry gold. Not only did they not lower the price, but they also added 30% to the market price.
Huo Wu refused to take advantage of this.
Aunt Shi Er asked for advice, asking the father and son to meet the Shi brother and sister, he would take care of it.
Huo Wu agreed to the request and only accepted the market price, asking them to take care of Uncle Huo and others who were staying in Jinling.
Huo Wu gave Uncle Huo fifty taels in private, and twenty taels with Aunt Huo Liu. The remaining four hundred and thirty taels were divided into two parts, and the father and son hid it with him.
Jia Yuan still remembers the "Nine-Nine" table in Wangjiang Tower, where he specially set up a table to entertain Huo Wu and his son.
A few days ago, he was like a dog who was stranded, but now he has put on a new military officer uniform. He is from the sixth-rank test household, and has a jurisdiction over one hundred households and one hundred and twenty soldiers. The two Niu Dalang brothers who had just joined the army are under Jia Yuan.
How come Dalala enters the city like this for the Jia clan to show it?
"After a chaos in the north, the Jinling garrison was also prepared." Jia Yuan said reluctantly: "Brother Huo Wu's eyesight and Brother Bao's strength, it would be a pity if he didn't enter the garrison."
Huo Wu did not show his skills before, but with his attitude of teaching his children, he was not an ordinary person.
Huo Wu waved his hand: "Xiaobao is still young, and I can't stand the restraint, but I can't live in the army."
Huo Bao is a curious Thousand Household Institute.
When he knew that each prefecture had a thousand households, with ten hundred households under its jurisdiction. As the provincial government, Jinling had four thousand households, Huo Bao felt a move in his heart: "It would be better if Uncle Jia Er can replenish thousands of households, and he had more than a thousand people under his command! He could also say the end of this Jinling realm!"
Jia Yuan shook his head and said, "Thousand Houses are the fifth grade, how can they be so easy to replenish? Another radish and a pit. Not to mention that I have little experience, even Shi Jin has been in the army for more than ten years. Now he is from the fifth grade palm print and the second in charge of the Thousand Houses. If you want to replenish Thousand Houses, you have to endure it."
"When Jinling is in chaos, there will be no need for thousands of households to be vacant." Huo Bao whispered: "Whether it is Uncle Shi or Uncle Jia Er, there is a lot of people, no matter what the situation is, there is room for speech."
Jia Yuan held the wine cup without saying a word, looking at Huo Bao tightly.
Huo Bao refused to talk more and just tried hard for a beef soup.
The imperial court prohibited the killing of plowing oxen, but this beef soup is always available on the menu of this restaurant. The owner of this restaurant is not an ordinary person.
Jia Yuan, the abandoned son of the Jia clan, is more social than expected, as a local snake in Jinling.
Seeing that Huo Bao loved to eat beef, Jia Yuan asked for a beef leg from the kitchen when he left the restaurant.
When I returned to the yard, the beef leg, except for the tendons and bones, all the other beef were fried with jerky beef. There were also pork jerky, sausage, air-dried chicken and other meats prepared before.
With the lessons of hungry, Huo Bao specially prepared these meat dishes with him so that he could "recharge" at any time.
Two ready-made mule carts, a waterproof tent, and several simple sleeping bags filled with duck down.
All that remain is pots, pans, rice, flour, grain, and oil, as well as various jerky meats.
In addition to these food and luggage, everyone's weapons are also equipped.
Huo Wu still used machetes here, Huo Bao's purple gold mace, Huo Bao replaced his new bow (which was bought by Baihu), Huo Hu was a custom cast iron rod, Niu Qing or Yan's feather knife.
After all preparations, Huo Wu and others did not delay any further. On this day, they bid farewell to everyone and crossed the river from the wild ferry boat again.
However, in just over ten days, the ship's capital had increased several times. The Huo family and his group had mule carts, so the price of a chartered boat was calculated.
Huo Wu agreed quickly and did not bargain.
The boatman said a few words: "The north is in chaos. If the guest officials do business, it is better to go and return quickly. Who knows when the river will be closed?"
Huo Wu thanked him and asked about the number of people crossing the river today.
"There are few people going north, and there are not many people going south. Everyone says that the Baishan Army has arrived by the river, and the families on the water who have family collected the boats and dared not recruit people again..."
When the boat arrived at the Jiangbei Ferry, not only did there be no waiting passengers on the riverside, but even the tea shed disappeared.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a few caves in the former teahouse, everyone wouldn't have dared to confirm that this was the last ferry.
