Chapter 39: Watching the Ceremony (1)
Jishui County.
According to the plan, the winter wheat is ripe twice a year, and the winter wheat is sown in October, and it is mature and harvested in late May and early June. The next step is to plant rice, and winter wheat is planted in October.
It can also be replaced by not planting in winter and planting rice in the second season, but this is too nervous. It needs to be planted around Qingming Festival, harvested in summer solstice to the summer summer, and harvested in late rice until the cold dew to the frost. In winter, there is nothing to do, and the time and manpower arrangements are unbalanced, so it is not taken.
Jishui County was first established. Due to the cultivation reasons, rice and wheat were planted at the same time. Now, after the rice harvesting, in order to arrange the unified arrangements and harvesting some delays, we are not going to plant another season of rice. We have been ordered to plant soybeans. By October, we will add wheat.
Bo Xueyuan, the lord of Jishui County, went to Taisu County. Lai Tongyu led the whole county to carry out busy farming. By the end of June, it had almost been completed.
On that day, just as dawn, a sound of horse hooves could be heard from far away from the distance. The road from Jishui River to Jishui County was flying, and a team of cavalry rushed over.
After a moment, there were more than a dozen cavalrymen, full of courage, with a little tired face, but they did not dare to slack off at all, and the horse was extremely fast.
The person in the leader was about twenty-five years old and was full of energy.
After the sun rose, before the door could be opened, the cavalry had already rushed outside Jishui County, and they all tied up their war horses. The neighing sound was very loud and it was heard far away.
"Who is coming?" The arrival of this cavalry made the defenders on the city immediately alert, and some people had already reported it to the chief.
A moment later, He Qi, the deputy team on duty, had arrived in the city.
When he walked to the city wall, leaned down and looked down for a few times, He Qi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for?"
Hearing the questioning on the city, he immediately stepped out of the cavalry from below.
It was the young man in charge who urged the dark horse and took a few steps forward. Then he raised his head and said loudly: "I am Han Yang, the Black Guard of the Grand Marshal Wenyang. This time I came to Jishui County. I came to pay homage to the old lady by the order of the Grand Marshal."
The old lady, in Jishui County, everyone knows who she is referring to, but because the war has just ended, the defenders of Jishui County are very alert.
The city called out to He Qi, the deputy team leader, and after a moment of consideration, he asked loudly: "You said you are from the Black Guard of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, what is the evidence?"
"This is a waist card, it can prove it." The man who claimed to be Han Yang took out something, raised it high above his head, and said, but unfortunately, this thing can only be seen closely before it can tell the authenticity.
The above was silent for a moment, and after a while, the deputy team leader He Qi said again: "This way, you can enter the city. They need to wait outside and discuss it later. How about it?"
"Can."
"In this case, you will first let them retreat a mile, and I will open the door to welcome you into the city."
"Please wait a moment." Han Yang immediately turned his head and said to the cavalry behind him, "Get back and wait in place!"
"No!" Hearing this, one of the team waved his hands left and right, and the cavalry immediately turned his horse's head, stopped about a mile, and rested on the spot.
At this time, the suspension bridge slowly lowered and the city gate was opened.
Han Yang drove his horse into the city. As soon as he entered, the suspension bridge was raised high and the city gate was closed again.
Han Yang understood this very well. He had just experienced a big battle here, and it would have been strange if the garrison was lax.
"It's Han team leader, He Qi is here to be rude. Please forgive me." After entering the city, He Qi, the deputy team leader, checked his waist card, and then returned it, saluting with apologies.
"It's not a problem, the responsibility is, it should be like this." Han Yang smiled, without any intention of blame.
When the deputy team leader He Qi saw that the other party did not blame him, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Is the Han team visiting the old lady this time?"
"That's true. We are here to pay homage to the old lady by the order of the commander... Is the old lady in the city? If you are there, please take me there quickly. I have something important to talk to the old lady." Thinking of his mission, Han Yang had no intention of talking again and said.
"Brothers of Black Guards outside the city..."
"No obstacle, let them wait there, and they won't wait too long. I will leave after a little bit." Han Yang stopped He Qi and said.
Seeing that Han Yang was anxious to meet the old lady, He Qi would not stop him: "Since that is the case, I asked someone to take the Han team to the government office."
Looking at the left and right, pointing to someone and saying, "Huo Chang Thirteen, go and lead the way for Team Han."
"No." Then the man led a horse and set off with Han Yang to the government office.
Although this person called the Thirteenth Fire Chief, he was considered to be qualified for his riding skills. Seeing this, Han Yang couldn't help but admire him secretly. He had heard someone mention it before, saying that this army in Jishui County that was established for the first time was very brave and good at fighting, but he could not help but look down on it in his heart.
No matter how great it is, how can the soldiers in Yixin County be mostly taken from refugees?
But when I saw it today, I changed a little. Not only was this place properly managed, but it was also highly vigilant. All the soldiers patrolling in the city had some skills. Although they were not as good as those of the soldiers in the palace, they were no longer soft-hearted.
The person chosen by the commander is indeed well-known. Just the ability to build a county and train soldiers is already amazing.
Thinking of this, a few thoughts appeared in Han Yang's eyes, but Huo Chang Thirteen was a taciturn person who said nothing along the way.
When he spoke, he had already arrived at the place: "Captain Han is in charge, please wait."
In front of the mansion, Huo Chang Thirteen turned over and got off the horse, said to Han Yang, and Han Yang nodded and watched him enter the mansion.
He stood in front of this government office and looked carefully.
Although this place is the residence of the county magistrate, it does not appear luxurious, spacious and elegant, but lacks luxury. The young master is not a person who likes luxury, and this is another advantage.
At this time, how many people from the big clan didn’t like luxury?
Even a well-known person like the Wang and Li family is not restrained in this regard.
People are divided into different levels, and so on. Even if people with rich and status enjoy themselves, they will not be criticized as long as they are not angry or resentful that day.
Jishui County was first established and was at its development. If Wang Shoutian still advocated luxury, even if no one would say anything, he would be mediocre and fall under the predicament.
Now, it seems that he has thought about it before.
The young master looked homemade. The government office was built only with tall and brightness, but the cost was very ordinary. Overall, it looked different from the official residence, but a bit like a military camp.
The Black-clothed Guard is the direct lineage of the Great Commander, with only 200 cavalry. Although Han Yang only led fifty cavalry, he was like Jia Dou that day, both of them were the captain Guoyi and the core power faction. If you go up, you will be the Yingzheng and the cavalry generals.
Just as he was thinking, Huo Chang Thirteen had already walked out of it and said to him: "The old lady is waiting in the hall, please."
"I'm working hard." Han Yang stepped inside withdrew to the other party.
It’s not that he is approachable. The status difference between Huo Chang Thirteen and him is very different, but compared to him, this person may be Wang Shoutian’s original team.
Even if he is a mere fire leader, he may not be able to use it in the future. How could Han Yang not understand this principle?
Under the leadership of the Fire Chief Thirteen, he soon came to the front of the hall.
After a brief pause outside, Han Yang carefully sorted out his clothes and then walked into the hall.
As soon as I entered this hall, I suddenly realized that the place was elegantly decorated. A few bamboo orchids were placed in the hall, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air.
In the upper seat, a middle-aged lady sat there, and a woman standing next to her, all looking at her.
I guess that noble lady is the old lady of Wang?
Han Yang lowered his head, bowed to the top and said, "The Black Guard of the Grand Marshal Wenyang's Mansion is Han Yang, and he has met the old lady."
"Hurry and avoid the gift. I am just a woman. I can't bear to be such a big gift from the Korean team." Wang said above.
But Han Yang still gave a gift and then calmed down.
"I wonder what happened to Team Han is coming this time?"
I heard Huo Chang Thirteen’s report before, but I didn’t know it was related to my son, so the old lady took the lead in asking.
Han Yang bowed to the upper hand with a respectful expression and said, "I'm not hiding the old lady, Han Yang is here to pick up the old lady, the young lady and other family members, and rushed to Wenyang Mansion."
"Run to Wenyang Mansion?" These words shocked the old lady at the prefect: "Is it possible that something happened to Tian'er?"
"The old lady needs no panic." Han Yang explained: "The general has decided to accept the magistrate of Wang County as his heir and sent Han Yang here to welcome several people to participate in this matter."
Hearing this, Wang was stunned for a moment, and for a moment, his expression on his face was a little complicated.
After a long time, Fang said, "Old son knows. May I ask Captain Han, when will I set off?"
"If it's convenient, make a little preparation and set off immediately. If it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the time." Han Yang said.
Wang nodded: "Since that's the case, please wait for a moment."
"Natural." Let someone take Han Yang down to rest, and the old lady of Wang sat there, silent for a moment.
Turning his head to look at He Gui who was surprised next to him, the old lady sighed and said, "He Gui, go and find the young lady and Su'er."
"No." He Gui knew that the family had something to discuss, so he responded quickly and went down.
In just a short while, Zhao Wan and Su'er came together, and the two of them greeted the old lady.
The old lady quickly called the two of them and said, "No need to be polite. I have something to discuss with you."
"Mother-in-law, please tell me." Zhao Wan was probably already heard He Gui mention it, and was not surprised. There was a joy in her eyes, but she still responded obediently.
"That's right, the Grand Marshal sent someone to take Tian'er's family to Wenyang Mansion to watch the ceremony. This time Tian'er was called by the Grand Marshal, which was a great thing. He had been selected by the Grand Marshal and wanted to accept him as his heir. I waited for him to watch the ceremony. Wan'er is Tian's daughter-in-law and was going to go there. Su'er, you are now a member of the Wang family. Are you going to watch the ceremony with us?"
The old lady looked at the elegant and beautiful girl.
Su Su'er smiled and said, "If you don't dislike it, Su'er will follow you wherever you go."
"My good daughter, why do I hate you?" Hearing this, the old lady immediately smiled and curled her eyebrows.
Since a few days ago, Su'er first showed her first medical skills and cured the old lady's leg acid disease for many years. The old lady has become more and more intimate with her.
When Zhao Wan saw her, she lowered her eyes slightly.
"Wan'er, go and clean up quickly. After a stick of incense, we will set off to Wenyang Mansion." When he was in a daze, the old lady had already ordered.
Chapter completed!
