On the second day, whether it was Chai, Yanmao and other cavalry generals, as well as Chu Ren, Wei Wan and other generals, they all knew that General Teng had asked Bai Yan to help organize important matters.
No one was surprised by this. After destroying South Korea, there were indeed many important things that needed to be dealt with.
After Chu Ren and Kui Wan were chatting, they walked at the top of the city and chatted with each other.
In their hearts, both of them envied Bai Yan.
Last time in Yangcheng, the old general made no secret of his intention to promote Bai Yan. Since then, Bai Yan has made many meritorious deeds. Now that Han has been destroyed, old general Teng must be a lover of talents.
Whether it is Chu Ren or Kui Wan, they all know that General Teng is the governor of Nanyang County and is deeply loved by the people in Nanyang. If Bai Yan can follow General Teng and learn how to deal with things, he will definitely behave like General Teng in the future.
They couldn't help but think about how great it would be if they could have such an opportunity!
In Xinzheng City.
Except General Teng.
Chu Ren, Kui Wan, and all the cavalry generals didn't know.
Bai Yan in their mouth.
At sunrise, when the gates of Xinzheng City were just opened, he disguised himself, led a horse, and left Xinzheng with a few close followers. He was already on the way to Yangzhen.
Qi State Linzi.
Winter is coming and the weather is getting colder.
Every morning, every leaf and dead branch can be seen everywhere covered with frost.
It wasn't until the warm sun rose, bringing a touch of warmth to the earth, that the frost gradually melted away.
Outside Linzi City, in a village called Shui (水), in an ordinary small farmyard.
"The weather is getting colder than usual. I don't know if Yan'er can have enough to eat in Yicheng. It's almost winter. Has he bought any new clothes?"
Shi, who was wearing common clothes, took the washed clothes to the yard to dry, and then said with longing: "I didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Yan'er go to Yicheng."
Yan's father on the side heard his wife's words and showed a simple smile.
"Yan'er is smart and has the appreciation of Ling Shi. Don't worry too much. Besides, Yan'er is already old!"
Father Yan said that because the weather was very cold and under the warm sun, a trace of heat mist appeared when he spoke and disappeared in an instant.
As soon as Yan's father finished speaking, Mrs. Xiao looked at him angrily.
"It didn't fall from you, so of course you don't feel bad."
Shi said.
Yan's father looked at his wife with a simple and honest smile on his face, looking pleased with her.
When Shi saw this, he couldn't even get angry.
"Remember to say nice things to Shou'er later, and be sure to bring thick new clothes."
Mrs. Xiao looked at Yan's father angrily and said softly.
I had arranged a marriage arrangement with Shou'er before, and I would be able to pick up the woman later.
The woman will definitely not get used to it at first.
As long as the woman feels at ease and Shou'er takes some time to come home, she will probably be able to have her grandson in a year or two.
Inside the Bamboo Garden.
Yan's father listened to his wife's instructions, smiled and nodded, and then there was some emotion on his smiling face.
From the time he married the Shi family, in the blink of an eye, among the two sons, the eldest son is now ready to start a family, and the second son is about to reach the age of starting a family.
"After finishing Shou'er's marriage, I will also take time to arrange a marriage for Yan'er in the future."
Yan's father looked at his wife, Shi, and said with a smile.
"In the past, Yan'er was always thinking about and clamoring to arrange a marriage for his eldest brother. I never thought that now that I have arranged a marriage for Shou'er, Yan'er is not at home."
Yan's father thought of the old days when Yan'er would yell from time to time to save some money for his eldest brother and arrange marriage arrangements for him.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Yan's father, her eyes were a little sad after listening to Yan's father's words.
Saying goodbye to Yan'er was done lightly.
Even though the women in the village have to work hard and their complexions are not white and turn yellow, they are not as good as the women from wealthy families in the city, but those people also have requirements.
Just like the girl Zi Lu married from her eldest uncle's family, she was not as good as the girl from a wealthy family in the city. She was just more beautiful in the village, but people also valued Zi Lu's literacy.
Although Yan'er looks good-looking, she is not good enough for others to ignore her.
In the eyes of outsiders, the eldest of their two sons, Shou'er, is not only filial and honest, but has now joined the army and has a stable salary.
Therefore, most families are willing to send their little girls to live with them.
In comparison, Yan'er wants to marry a girl from a nearby village in the future, which is easy to say, but absolutely impossible.
Everyone in the nearby villages knows or has heard of Yan'er, so naturally no family is willing to marry their daughter to Yan'er, and no girl from any family is willing to follow Yan'er.
"Is Yan's father here?"
Just as Shi was lost in thought, the bamboo door of Xiaozhuyuan was slowly pushed open, the thin frost on the bamboo door fell, and a man in cloth slowly walked in and looked at her and Yan's father.
Hear the words.
Mrs. Xiao looked at Yan's father with a puzzled look.
Father Yan also stood up slowly, his eyes full of doubts.
"I am!"
Yan's father said, looking at the commoner man in his twenties, and just calling him Yan'er, he must know Yan'er.
"My name is Zhan. I ordered Shi to reward Zhong Yan for his meritorious service in solving the case in Yicheng. When I returned to Linzi, Zhong Yan dragged me to you."
A man named Zhen came to Yan's father, took out a small money bag from his sleeve pocket, and handed it to Yan's father.
"ah!"
"Yan'er gets another reward?"
Father Yan looked at the small purse in his hand in astonishment and felt that the weight was almost the same as the previous times put together.
Mrs. Xiao also took the money bag from Yan's father with a surprised look on her face. After opening it with both hands, she looked inside and then looked at Yan's father.
Yan'er left in April and May, and had already asked people to bring several rewards to the family.
"Is Yan'er okay now in Yicheng? Could you please bring it back to Yan'er and tell him that Yan'er's family is not short of money and food."
Mr. Shi put the coupons in his wallet, then took out two small coins from his sleeve pocket and handed one to the man named Chen.
The last time Yan'er asked someone to bring money, it had only been more than twenty days.
Although Yan'er was appreciated by Ling Shi, Ling Shi often rewarded Yan'er.
But winter is coming now, and rather than Yan'er giving money to the family, she wants Yan'er to eat and drink well by himself and not be cold.
"When I saw Zhong Yan's instructions before, I had already taken out a lot of them."
He explained with a smile, his expression somewhat reluctant, as if he found it too troublesome.
Then he bowed his hands to Yanfu and turned around to leave.
When Yan's father and Shi saw this, they stood there at a loss.
"Save it for Yan'er and use it later when you propose marriage to him."
Yan's father said to Shi.
Mr. Shi nodded, but thought of something and put the money bag in Yan's father's hand.
"No, my dear, go ahead and buy back the farmland you sold before. If Yan'er marries a wife in the future, then sell the farmland."
Shi said.
The woman who arranged Shou'er's marriage before was the most beautiful woman in that village.
In order to save Yan'er's life, the couple was very determined. Yan'er didn't have enough money and sold a lot of farmland at home.
Right now, instead of saving the money, it is better to buy back the farmland first, so that it can be cultivated next year, and then sell the farmland when Yan'er gets married.
"Can!"
When Yan's father heard what Xiao said, he was honest and doubtful for a moment, but after thinking about it and realizing that this was better, he quickly nodded with a smile.
Qi State Linzi.
What Shi and Yan's father didn't know was that Chen, who had been talking to them before, had now arrived at a luxurious mansion.
The scale of the mansion is very large, with all kinds of rockery and water.
"Little Master, it has been delivered."
He came to the pavilion and said to the girl who was looking at the bamboo slips in the pavilion.
Looking at the young master in white fox fur in front of him, Qian was very curious as to why the young master took such good care of that family. He had previously arranged for other people to send money at random dates. Later, when he heard that the couple sold their farmland, they asked him to
Go and send money.
But he didn't dare to ask.
I didn't even dare to tell others about it.
"Get down!"
The girl said softly.
Compared with the women in the village, the girl's complexion is fairer, and compared with the women in the city, her appearance is rare in the world.
If Bai Yan were here, he would be surprised. It is said that women grow quickly, but in less than half a year, the little girl had grown a lot taller.
"promise!"
He nodded and turned around to leave the pavilion.
And a servant of the mansion, leading a fat young man, passed by the man at this time and came to the pavilion.
The fat boy is Lu Qi.
Compared with the time it took Bai Yan to go from Linzi to Pingyang in the State of Qin, which took more than two months, it took Lu Qi much faster to go from Yangcheng, South Korea to Linzi.
One is because the rivers all flow towards Qi State and enter the sea from Qi State.
The second is that the Lu family has been doing business all year round. Compared with Bai Yan traveling alone, the Lu family store has always prepared customs clearance tokens, so there is no need to take a detour except by boat.
Third, Lu is richer than Bai Yan!!
Inside the pavilion.
After Lu Qi followed the servant into the pavilion, he saw Tian (Gui) Feiyan, with a smile full of intimacy.
"My lord, Lü Qi is here!"
The servant raised his hands to Tian Feiyan and said.
"Feiyan, do you still remember your cousin?"
Lu Qi also spoke at this time and said that as a businessman, Lu Qi was naturally familiar with things.
Besides, Tian Feiyan's mother is the eldest sister of Lu Qi's father. They are related by blood, so Lu Qi is naturally no stranger to her.
"Cousin!"
When Tian Feiyan saw Lu Qi, she was a little surprised and stood up slowly. She still remembered that he had indeed seen this very cute (fat) cousin before.
Lu Qi and Tian Feiyan bowed to each other.
The servant has left.
Tian Feiyan wondered why this fat cousin came to visit the mansion today.
