Licheng County, everyone in Hongjialou, the home of Old Man Dai.
Xia Xun sat on the chair, and Lao Dai stood opposite, reporting to him respectfully.
Lao Dai's family has dozens of acres of fertile land, and is considered a well-off family in the county. Among the four household registrations of the Ming Dynasty, military and civilian Jiangzao, he belongs to a civilian household, but it is a rare type of civilian household. He is a female household. The so-called female household,
That is, he does not need to pay taxes or perform corvee labor. He only needs a daughter when the court needs it. Of course, it must be a young daughter.
It can be seen from this that the details of household registration in the Ming Dynasty are divided. Everyone has arranged a career for you. When the court needs someone, just follow the household registration arrangement. Daughters are handed over to be palace maids. Women in the palace, after reaching a certain age
According to age, a group needs to be replaced, the older ones are released, and a group of younger ones are replaced. In some dynasties, poor people voluntarily entered the palace, but in the Ming Dynasty, even this occupation was designated.
So what if a family classified as a female household gives birth to a lot of sons but no daughters? Then you can find a way by yourself, adopt a daughter, adopt one, buy an abandoned baby, whatever!
Some female families who don't want their biological daughters to be away from their parents, and those from relatively wealthy families, will buy a baby girl very early.
She was a baby, and she couldn't afford to raise too many children, so she wanted to drown her.
The reason why Lao Dai became a member of the Feilong secret agent so quickly is because his only son Dai Yubin was in the Yanwang Army, while his adopted daughter Dai Yixuan was in the Jinling Palace.
Lao Dai adopted this daughter, originally to prepare for the court to recruit maids. However, when Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was used to being poor all his life, so he hated extravagance and waste. The maids in the palace did not need much, so it was never his turn to send a daughter to the palace.
In the palace, Lao Dai adopted this abandoned baby with a double plan. If the palace wanted someone, he would send it to the palace. After he passed the age of entering the palace, he would marry the son.
Coincidentally, when Jian ascended the throne, the palace needed more maids, so he selected his prospective daughter-in-law to join the palace. Soon after, his son rebelled with King Yan, and because he was brave and good at fighting, he was promoted to Xiaoqi. Xia
When Xun learned about his family's situation when the Yanshan Three Guards were selecting the backbone of the Sixth Army, his son was naturally selected smoothly.
His biological son was determined to leave with King Yan. What else could Lao Daitou do? Naturally, he was determined to become the liaison officer of King Yan's Feilong Secret Intelligence Station. Fortunately, Xia Xun designed this intelligence, and the backbone of it was from Yanshan Three
The capable soldiers selected by the guards had no intention of arranging anything difficult for Lao Dai. He was only responsible for passing on information as a link between the previous and the following.
"Sir, the four special envoys rushed to Jinling under your orders and have now taken root. However, they can only play a role in the Jianghu Road and among the people. If they want to intervene in the court, they will not be able to do so for the time being."
The information Lao Dai knew was limited, and the information he passed on was inherently limited. He would not mention the names of Xu Shiling, Zhang Jun, Jiang Mengxiong, and Wang Guanyu, the time they arrived in Jinling, or their specific occupations, to prevent anyone from leaking the information and being accused.
The imperial court followed the picture and caught him.
Xia Xun nodded and said: "There are two letters, please send them to me. Give one to the four special envoys, and the other to His Highness King Yan."
"yes!"
Lao Dai said in awe: "Feilong has spread the news. As soon as there is news about the Lord, he will be sent back immediately. His Highness King Yan has also issued an order to find the whereabouts of the Lord. Don't you go and see His Highness?"
Xia Xun shook his head and said: "Your Highness knows that I am still alive. This is enough. I was supposed to go to Jinling three months ago, but now it has been delayed. I have to rush there as soon as possible. Just send the letter, and the rest You don’t have to worry about anything, just get a pen and paper.”
Lao Dai agreed and quickly presented the four treasures of the house. Xia Xun took a look, coughed and said, "Go out first and invite the girl who came with me to come in."
"It's so impressive. You have to dictate it, and I'll write it."
Xie Yufei glanced at Xia Xun with a half-smile and started grinding.
Xia Xun said seriously: "I am careful in everything, lest my handwriting fall into the eyes of malicious people. If I am not careful, there is no guarantee that I will not recognize it on some occasion. There is no big mistake in being careful."
When Xie Yufei heard this, she smiled like a flower and said proudly: "Then you have found the right person when you find me. I can use five kinds of calligraphy in seal script, cursive script, eight kinds of calligraphy, including Wang Yan, Liu, Zhao Mi and so on. Hehe, you Just look at it, I’ll change your pen style for one word, and I’ll change your font for two words, I promise... whoever gets dizzy!"

"On the ground in Shandong, the Southern Army and the Yan Army will fight again sooner or later. It is necessary to set up some eyes and ears here. It's a pity. If Brother Gao Sheng is willing to help, I will let him be the sub-station commander of the Feilong Secret Intelligence Station in Shandong. , he is familiar with the family, and there will be no need to worry about it in the future, but..."
When leaving Lao Dai's house, Xia Xun asked Lao Dai to buy two horses for him, but these horses were military supplies. How could a small household in Pingmen buy them? In the end, he bought two mules, which were just transportation tools. They were all tame mules, with thick mats on them, just suitable for someone like Xie Yufei, who couldn't ride a horse, to sit on.
Xie Yufei said: "You, do you think everyone likes to take risks like you? Ximen Qing has a family, a career, a lovely wife and a beautiful concubine, why should I take that risk with you?"
Xia Xun nodded and said: "Yes, everyone has their own ambitions, so I don't want to force it. However, just because of this, when he was in Jinan City, he was willing to help me like that. He really wanted nothing but brotherly love. This Brother, I will remember it!"
After the Yan army retreated, Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei returned to Yanggu County. Although Xiaodong's sister-in-law didn't know that they were trapped in Jinan City, he had already passed his term of service and still had not returned home. In this chaotic situation, Xiaodong Dong was managing alone at home, with two children in tow, how could he not be worried? So as soon as the city gate opened, Ximen Qing declined Xia Xun's kindness, and hurried back to Yanggu County with Nan Feifei.
Ximen Qing didn't have any big ambitions. He just wanted to have a wife and children. This ambition was exactly Xia Xun's original plan. If Xia Xun used some tricks to force Ximen Qing into his boat, it would be easy, but of course he couldn't do that. Speaking of which, following the King of Yan was extremely dangerous. Xia Xun knew a little about the future and was determined to find a wife and son for his brother, but he wanted him to abandon his wife and son and follow him to behead someone. Business is indeed risky. When Ximen Qinglian returned home, although Xia Xun was reluctant to leave, he had no choice but to follow him.
Although Xie Yufei was not riding a mule very fast, fortunately Qingzhou was not too far away. After a few days, the two finally arrived at Qingzhou Prefecture. Yue, his cheeks are much thinner, and his beard is unshaven. Unless he looks carefully, even people who are very familiar with him may not be able to recognize him, but he still can't take the risk.
Therefore, Xia Xun went directly to Pengjiazhuang without crossing the city.
When he arrived at Pengjiazhuang, Xia Xun didn't have so many worries. Although he didn't know that his father-in-law's family belonged to the White Lotus Sect, he also knew the power of the Peng family in the local area. The local tycoons in these places had great potential power and greater prestige than the government and the imperial court.
Many, to put it bluntly, there are some unscrupulous people who are not afraid of the yoke of the court, and are as good at dealing with powerful people in such a place, so Xia Xun went to Pengjiazhuang, knocked on the door, and openly revealed his identity.
After a while, his father-in-law came out with wide eyes.
Old Man Peng did not embarrass him in public. After all, it was always his uncle. In ancient times, the uncle was a guest when he came to the house, so it was not easy to embarrass him too much. After letting Xia Xun into the hall, Old Man Peng asked
His situation, Xia Xun's previous actions, Peng Ziqi's last trip from Penglai Pavilion in Dengzhou, and when he passed through Qingzhou, he had already told his father that the Peng family belonged to the White Lotus Sect, and if he was pushed into a hurry, he would have the courage to rebel, but he was not that big.
He cares about the shocking things his son-in-law has done.
Xia Xun also knew from Xie Yufei that Peng Ziqi had confessed to his father-in-law, so he told his story of the past three months without hiding anything. Old man Peng had good ears and eyes, and when the Jinan refugees were released
, already knew that the city of Jinan had turned into a hell on earth. Now when I heard that my son-in-law was coming out of the city, I couldn't help but feel shocked, and I couldn't even express my slightest complaint.
The father-in-law ordered people to arrange accommodation and food for him and Xie Yufei, and he told them about the situation on Peng Ziqi's side.
It turned out that Peng Ziqi had not entered Jinan City at that time. When the Yan army arrived and the refugees swarmed into the city, Peng Ziqi was no longer in the car they were riding in. She also knew that Xie Yufei did not want to escape into the city, and thought she would jump off.
The car was coming, so I hurriedly searched around the crowd. When she couldn't be found, I started to chase her through the city.
When Peng Ziqi rushed to the city, the defenders at the top of the city were shooting wildly with arrows to prevent the refugees from entering the city. At that time, Xia Xun was lying under the bullock cart, desperately trying to get to the city gate that was about to close. The two of them just missed it.
Peng Ziqi was blocked outside.
When King Yan's army set up camp and surrounded Jinan City, and the city was heavily guarded by the enemy, Peng Ziqi had no chance to enter the city. She chased the scattered refugee team around Jinan for a while,
When Xie Yufei was not found, he immediately rushed back to Qingzhou, explained the situation to his father, and told his family where he lived near Jinan, and told his family to inform her as soon as they saw Xie Yufei return.
She herself lived near Jinan, and went to Jinan City from time to time to inquire about the news. When the city gradually released refugees, Peng Ziqi heard about the miserable conditions in the city from the refugees, and almost fainted from shock. That night she
I changed into my night clothes and ventured towards Jinan City.
After a lot of effort, she successfully passed through the Yan army barracks, but when she got to the city, she was discovered by the Ming army who were closely guarded. When she returned, she alerted the Yan army and almost died under random arrows. Only then did she
She gave up, and at the same time, she thought, given the current situation, even if she entered the city, where would she go to find Xie Yufei? Should she search for her with all the gongs and drums, and then ask both warring parties to give her face and let her bring Xie Yufei out?
In desperation, Peng Ziqi had to continue waiting outside. Old man Peng was worried that the girl was out alone, so he sent his son Peng Ziqi out to accompany his daughter half a month ago. Now that Xia Xun and Xie Yufei have returned safely, he
Someone will be called immediately to notify my son and daughter of their return.
Xie Yufei secretly rejoiced after hearing this. Although she had worshiped heaven and earth, she still felt uneasy if she did not become Xia Xun's woman. At her age, she was not yet greedy. She was anxious because she was anxious in her heart.
You are nine years old, you are an old girl! After all, if you worship heaven and earth without having a bridal chamber, you are not considered a real couple.
Her marriage has been full of twists and turns. Now that Peng Ziqi is fine, they can both rest assured. Just waiting for Ziqi to come back, she can consummate her marriage with her sweetheart, right? Thinking on the side, she felt shy and happy.
her brow.
Xia Xun was relieved. Finally, his two charming wives were safe and sound. He took a sip of tea and asked casually: "Zhang Yue, where does Zi Qi live now?"
Old man Peng replied: "Licheng County, Pengjialou Street."
Xia Xun spat out a sip of tea...
※※※※※
At this moment, in the back house of the Peng family, Mrs. Peng Peng Yingyu was receiving a guest. This person was none other than Lin Yuqi who rebelled in front of the Dezhou formation.
After talking and laughing for a while, Lin Yuqi stood up and said respectfully: "Then, I will take my younger brother and sister back now. I would also like to thank the old man for taking care of her mother and daughter for me for so long."
Monk Peng smiled heartily and said: "Red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots, Wanshui Yuanyuan belong to the same family. Shopkeeper Lin doesn't need to be so polite. I am old, and I also hope that you, the younger generation, can move around more."
Lin Yu Qi hurriedly said: "It must be true, we are all on the same ground in Shandong, and we should help each other. What's more, the younger generation still has many things to ask for advice from you, the senior."
Monk Peng laughed and said, "Okay, I welcome you to visit me often. Wan Li, see me off."
Peng Wanli clasped his hands and gave way. Lin Yuqi hurriedly saluted Monk Peng solemnly, and then followed Peng Wanli out.
In the courtyard, Madam Tang’s wife was holding her child, accompanied by Su Xinchen’s little girl. Madam Tang was wearing moon-white clothes, with a small white flower on her temples. Her face was pale and thin. When she saw Lin Yuqi coming out,
Then Fu Shen said: "Seventh Master!" After saying this sentence, his eyes turned red and he was about to shed tears.
"Oh, brother and sister, don't be sad. The child is so young, you still have to cherish your body."
Lin Yuqi comforted and advised: "Although Brother Tang is gone, we are still here. Brothers and sisters, my mistress is a few years older than Ling Ai. If my brothers and sisters don't object, we will get married. From now on, you and your daughter will live together."
The cost of wearing it is all covered by me, Lin Yuqi."
While Lin Yuqi was comforting the ladies of the Tang family, he walked out of the back house with them under the guidance of Peng Wanli. Just as he stepped through the door on the right side of the hall and walked into the small patio, the door of a side room creaked open.
, Master Peng walked out with Xia Xun and Xie Yufei, and when they met, they were both shocked!
:three things.
1: Dear book friends who are still dead, you are like a big-eyed thief. Your eyes are as red as two red agates. Why don’t you still? It’s already ten o’clock at night, so you’re not afraid.
