As soon as more than twenty people came in, they filled up the remaining tables in the inn hall.
Postman Yang San came in with a jar of wine in one hand.
One of the leading burly men threw a bag of money to Yang San: "Good wine and good meat are included, and the money is indispensable!"
"Dele! Military lords, take a look!" Yang San took the silver, weighed it in his hands, and said with a smile.
After that, the postman ran even more diligently.
After a while, several dining tables were filled to the brim.
Drink from a big bowl and eat meat in big chunks.
The group ate happily.
His appearance, manners, and even attire were that of a common sergeant.
It just looks bigger!
Gu Jiu glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.
Gu Jiu had seen many such sergeants in the past few days.
It is nothing special.
He slowly ate the breakfast on his table, mentally calculating the time it would take for his master and the others to leave.
Look outside.
If everything goes well, the master, Gu Qi and the others should be at the Hexi racecourse at this time!
Gu Jiu felt a little sulky at the thought of his master leaving him here.
Gu Jiu has been staying at Pinglin Station for several days.
It’s really boring!
Haven't received any news.
Gu Jiu was even thinking, could it be that he had not done something well and was disliked by his master?
Did you just leave him here and ignore him?
well!
Gu Jiu's eyes retracted from the outside and fell on the group of people in front of him again. His eyes inadvertently slipped around a corner.
etc……
Gu Jiu's eyes widened, then he immediately lowered his head and pretended to pick up the vegetables in the bowl.
I was shocked!
No way!
This is the territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty, how could the Northern Yi barbarians appear?
The key point is that the Beiyi barbarians sat together with the soldiers at the border gate of Dasheng Dynasty... and ate together!
This thing seems weird no matter how you look at it!
There were seven people sitting at the table in the corner, two of them sitting at the very back. Gu Jiu didn't notice it at first because it was in the shadow.
Fortunately, Gu Jiu's eyesight was not bad.
Two Beiyi barbarians appeared here?
What does it mean?
Gu Jiu looked at the postman Yang San coming in and out.
Did he see it but didn’t take it seriously, or did he not see it?
Or is it common for Beiyi barbarians to appear among sergeants?
There are Northern Yi barbarians among the sergeants!
What a hell!

When Jiang Xiaohua went down to the foot of the mountain, she saw her third aunt Liu walking back and forth next to the big blue stone.
The basket used for hunting pigweed is placed on the big bluestone.
When she saw Jiang Xiaohua, Mrs. Liu patted her chest lightly, just come back!
Scared her to death!
This girl has been picking mushrooms in the woods long enough!
Ms. Liu came up to greet her: "Xiao Hua, why have you been gone for so long? What are you doing cutting so much wormwood? We use firewood for cooking at home. We don't use this wormwood, and we don't use it. Oh, look at you.
My face is sweaty."
Mrs. Liu took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Jiang Xiaohua's face.
He kept chattering in his mouth.
"If my mother-in-law sees this, she will be heartbroken to death!"
Jiang Xiaohua smoothed her sweaty hair and said with a smile: "Third Aunt, this wormwood is not used as firewood, it has other uses!"
"It's too hard to burn a fire, so what use can it be?"
"You'll know in a few days! Third aunt, let's go home!"
How dare Ms. Liu let Jiang Xiaohua carry such a heavy thing home? If her mother-in-law saw this, she would suffer!
No matter what I say, I have to change my back with Jiang Xiaohua.
"Third Aunt, this isn't heavy, I can carry it!"
"No, I'll carry you, and you carry the pigweed!"
Unable to defeat the third aunt Liu, Jiang Xiaohua had no choice but to switch with her.
…………
Jiang Hongming and several other boys, together with Zhang Wenjie from Zhang Langzhong's family, left after breakfast early in the morning.
Jiang Hongming and others were anxious to return to Yong'an Academy.
Zhang Wenjie was ordered by his father to go to Liujiazhuang for business.
Several people went their separate ways at the fork leading to Liujiazhuang.
Zhang Wenjie had walked less than two miles when he saw the Zhang family's carriage parked on the side of the road.
Climbing onto the carriage, Zhang Wenjie saw his father, Zhang Langzhong, sitting in the carriage and eating.
"Father!"
Zhang Wenjie sat opposite his father.
"Have you had breakfast at Lao Jiang's house?" Zhang Langzhong handed the dried meat in his hand to Zhang Wenjie.
Zhang Wenjie waved his hand: "Father, I have eaten!"
Zhang Langzhong turned the dried meat in his hand and fed it into his mouth: "Have you met that girl Jiang Xiaohua?"
"Um!"
Zhang Langzhong asked his son curiously: "What do you think of that girl Xiaohua?"
"She...she's very good!" When the young man mentioned this girl, his heart was beating fast and he looked a little uncomfortable.
Seeing his son like this, Zhang Langzhong didn't know anything else.
He chuckled, then sighed softly: "I'm so lucky to have you meet me! Since you've fallen in love with me, I'll leave the rest to my father! I'll take care of you and bring this beauty home!"
Zhang Wenjie coughed lightly and said, "Father, Xiaohua is thirteen this year and she hasn't even got haircut yet!"
"It's okay, let's settle the marriage first!"
Zhang Wenjie hummed softly.
In my mind was the image of Jiang Xiaohua raising her head and smiling at Jiang Hongming.
So lovely!
Zhang Wenjie has never seen such a beautiful girl!
…………
When Jiang Xiaohua and her third aunt went home, they saw Mrs. Jiang standing alone outside the courtyard gate from a distance, looking around.
Jiang Xiaohua quickened her pace and trotted back.
Liu couldn't run anymore, so he followed slowly.
"Xiaohua, don't run! Don't fall!" Old Mrs. Jiang rushed up to meet her, with a worried look on her face.
"Milk, we are back!"
Old Mrs. Jiang first took the basket on Jiang Xiaohua's back, and her eyes fell on her good granddaughter.
After looking up and down for several times, he nodded with a smile and said, "Look how dirty you are when you go out. Did you pick up mushrooms?"
"Yeah, I picked up a lot! I'll wash it in a while and we can stew chicken for lunch!"
Mrs. Jiang smiled lovingly and nodded: "Okay, listen to our good granddaughter, let's stew chicken for noon, wash your face and hands quickly, change into clean clothes and eat!"
After Jiang Xiaohua entered the courtyard, Mrs. Liu walked to the entrance of the courtyard.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Liu with a cold look.
"Why did it take so long?"
Ms. Liu felt bitter in her heart, she was also hungry now!
"Mom, Xiaohua went into the forest to pick mushrooms and was delayed!"
"Delayed? You mean the forest that Xiaohua entered by herself?"
Mr. Liu lowered his head.
"say!"
"I wanted to kill pigweed. Xiaohua couldn't wait and went into the forest first. When the pigweed was finished, I also looked for her. The mountain behind was so big that I couldn't find her, so I had to wait at the foot of the mountain!"
"She is a child, and it is her first time to go out to help the family. As an aunt, you don't know how to help more, so you have the heart to let Xiaohua go into the forest to pick mushrooms by yourself. What if you encounter a snake? You let me
I'm telling you what's good about you! You're so grown up now, you still need me to teach you these things! Little Hua, this is just right, as an aunt, you should pay more attention and watch carefully, don't fall anymore!"
"Also, what's going on with this mugwort?"
"Xiaohua said it has other uses!"
"What did Xiaohua say?"
"Um!"
Mrs. Jiang's tone immediately changed: "Okay, let's put it in the courtyard!"
Mrs. Liu: "..."
"Mom, where are Hong Ming and the others?" Ms. Liu asked after entering the yard.
Mrs. Liu still wanted to sit down and have a good chat with her son! Fortunately for her son, when he came back, his mind was all on that girl Jiang Xiaohua, and he did not see her as his mother.
Old Mrs. Jiang walked into the house, intending to see her sweet granddaughter, and said without looking back: "Hong Ming and the others, you see for yourself what time it is. Of course, you have to go back to school. Studying is important!"
