The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!
Chapter 190 Solicitation
The scribe was taken aback by a silver ingot that was stuffed in his hand temporarily. He didn't expect a refugee to spend so much money.
In fact, a small number of refugees have lost their household registration. It is difficult to verify those who have lost their household registration in this age, so they can only be sorted out first and arranged separately.
"What's the matter?" Xia Jing just came outside the city, and when she saw the stalemate at the nearest registration office, she walked over here.
"what"
The clerk received the silver ingot and was fighting with heaven and man, but he still refused to accept it, but suddenly heard the question from the princess behind him, which made him tremble all over in fright, and the silver ingot in his hand fell and rolled to the ground.
"Hiss!" The falling silver ingots drew gasps from the surrounding refugees!
Xia Jing also showed surprise on her face. Hongmei picked up the silver ingot and glanced at the clerk, "This is your silver? Why didn't you pick it up if it was dropped?"
The clerk blushed, and pointed at Sha Yuliang anxiously, "The money belongs to him."
Xia Jing glanced back and forth between the two, and finally landed on the clerk, "He gave it, so you took it?"
The clerk waved his hands in fright, "No, he suddenly gave it to the little one, and the little one couldn't react in time, and you just came over, Wangfei."
The clerk's words were a bit off-putting, but Xia Jing saw that he was nervous, and thought it might be the first time he had encountered such a thing.
If it's a seasoned one, she won't show her feet after she comes.
Only now did Xia Jing take a serious look at the man who bribed the scribe.
With a burly figure and a rough appearance, he looked like a typical northern man. Facing Xia Jing's scrutiny, his face was calm.
Xia Jing raised her eyebrows, a little interested.
"Brother, why did you bribe the scribe?"
The clerk quickly explained: "He said that his household registration was lost on the way to escape! He."
Xia Jing glanced at him lightly, which shocked the scribe, and the words that followed got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit them out again.
It's over, it's over!
The concubine didn't let him talk, and he stole it. Will the concubine blame him for taking his job?
Xia Jing ignored the clerk, and signaled Sha Yuliang to follow her to the side. This is the refugee registration office, and other refugee registrations should not be delayed because of his affairs.
Sha Yuliang hesitated for a moment, but followed honestly, "I'm in Sha Yuliang, I met the princess, I did something wrong just now, it's not about the clerk, he was also stunned by my actions, and couldn't react in time."
"Yo Huo, I can't protect myself, and I can still think about others at this moment." Xia Jing narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about it for a while, "Sha Yuliang? Why does this name seem familiar, where did I hear it?"
Hongmei and Baimei looked at each other, they really had never heard of the name Sha Yuliang, so they couldn't remind the princess.
But Ye Fei, who was standing behind Xia Jing, knew a little bit. He took a step forward and leaned into Xia Jing's ear, "Sha Yuliang, the general on the frontier, killed the enemy bravely. It's just that the mansion reported that he had died in battle. I don't know."
Xia Jing understood what he meant, even Ye Fei wasn't sure if Sha Yuliang in front of him was the frontier general.
Ye Fei spoke in a low voice, but Sha Yuliang still heard something, and without waiting for Xia Jing to ask again, he took the initiative to confess: "Officially, I have died in battle, but in fact I am still standing in front of you."
After all, a slightly sarcastic smile flashed in his eyes.
Xia Jing and Ye Fei were slightly taken aback by this smile.
"If you are Sha Yuliang, then you don't have a household registration document." At this moment, Xia Jing became interested in how he was killed in battle, "Can you tell me what happened?"
"It's come to this point, what else can't be said." Sha Yuliang explained how he was killed in battle without any hesitation.
Regarding what he said, Xia Jing didn't say whether she believed it or not, but asked again: "It has been more than half a year since you died in the frontier battlefield. How did you come to Lingnan?"
"Going back to my hometown from the battlefield, because I don't have a household registration, I can't enter the towns, but wherever there are towns, I have to detour, so it took about two months." Sha Yuliang glanced at Xia Jing, without any superfluous expressions on his face, as if he was telling someone else's story.
"Later, due to the drought in my hometown, in order to survive, the whole family fled south and took another few months to reach Lingnan. Now our family is staying at a friend's house. We know that refugees are resettled here, so we come here to try our luck and see if we can share a few acres of wasteland for our family."
Xia Jing looked at him indifferently: "I didn't see resentment on your face, don't you have dissatisfaction and resentment towards those superiors in the frontier?"
Sha Yuliang scratched his head, "How should I put it, I must have been very angry at the beginning, but when I returned to my hometown and saw the severe drought in my hometown, I actually silently thanked those superiors who helped me report my death. Without their slapstick operation, I would not have had the opportunity to return to my hometown at this time."
"If I don't go back to my hometown, I don't know that the drought in my hometown is so serious, and my family members may also die because of the drought. Now because I was killed in battle, the whole family's life is exchanged, so why should I be angry?"
The two girls, Hong Mei and Bai Mei, were stunned. How could they understand death like this?
But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, and the causal cycle really had a definite number.
Xia Jing was very satisfied with Sha Yuliang's answer, and asked with a smile, "If I invite you to join our team, would you be willing?"
Sha Yuliang frowned slightly: "But, I took care of my family."
Xia Jing chuckled softly: "Of course, since you joined our team, we will naturally arrange for your family and take good care of it. Don't worry about that."
Sha Yuliang showed joy, "My family can't do anything else but farm."
After hearing what he said, Xia Jing couldn't help laughing: "It's good to farm the land. When I come to Lingnan, I don't have much else but land."
The two girls stood behind covering their mouths and giggling, this Sha Yuliang is too naive!
The clerk who was arrested just now has been a little absent-minded, paying attention to Xia Jing while registering the refugees.
Seeing that they were all laughing now, he slumped a bit, it's good if he can laugh, and if he can laugh, it means that big things are turned into small things, and small things are turned into small things.
-
On the outskirts of Luofu Mountain, a team of horse-drawn carriages circled from the foot of the mountain in the distance.
Climbing up a section of slope, Yangcai panted heavily, and said, "Third Master, you will arrive at the farm of our prince's mansion after you go around the foot of this mountain."
"Ah."
Li Chengli responded lightly, looked up and looked around, the leaves in the mountains and forests were very lush, and the carriages shuttled through it, it was difficult to see the sun above the head, which shows how remote this farm is.
He even suspected that his father bought this farm specially for his aunt.
Turning the corner, the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up, with layers of rice fields, but it's not yet spring plowing, and the rice fields look a bit barren.
Occasionally, you can see ducks looking for food or cattle grazing in a certain hilly field.
Coupled with the singing of birds in the woods on the roadside, it is like an idyllic painting that cleanses the soul.
If one is indifferent to fame and wealth, the inviolability of the world here is a rare pure land for him.
However, Li Chengli didn't believe that Aunt Sun would stay here at ease, and there must have been a lot of trouble.
Yangcai saw that the master was looking at the courtyard halfway up the mountain in a daze, so he carefully explained: "The bungalows on the mountainside are for tenants to live in, and the yard where my aunt lives is the one with upturned eaves."
The last time I sent Aunt Sun over, Li Chengli didn't come with me.
At this moment he asked: "Why did the father buy a property in such a remote place?"
Yangcai knew a little more about the details, "I heard from Steward Yan that the farm here was copied from Lou's family. Because of the remote location, the prince felt that it could not be sold for a good price, so he never disposed of it."
Li Chengli felt better when he heard this, if his father bought this farm specially for his aunt, it would be impossible for him not to complain.
While the two were talking, the carriage had already stopped in front of the house halfway up the mountain.
The farm steward had already greeted him at the door, and when he saw the carriage stopped, he immediately walked towards the most luxurious carriage.
"Tian Wen, the steward of the villain's farm, has met the third master."
"Don't be too polite, let's get up."
When Li Chengli entered the yard, Tian Wen asked, "The villain has arranged a room for the third master. Should the third master wash up first or have lunch first?"
Li Chengli looked at Yangcai.
Yangcai smiled and walked side by side with Tian Wen. He smiled and asked, "Where does our aunt live? The third master wants to go and see my aunt first."
Tian Wen didn't expect that Li Chengli would attach so much importance to the relegated aunt, so he thought about it, so he replied: "Aunt Sun lives in a side courtyard in the backyard, does the third master want to have dinner with Aunt Sun?"
Li Chengli nodded: "Yes."
"The little one has someone to prepare meals." As he spoke, he summoned a passing servant.
There is a side yard in the backyard.
Although the location is a bit farther than the main courtyard, Shengzai's application is still passable, not much different from that in the Wangfu.
Since Aunt Sun knew that Li Chengli was coming to visit her early in the morning, she had been looking at the gate of the courtyard eagerly.
As soon as Li Chengli stepped into the courtyard gate, he met a pair of expectant eyes.
He was slightly shocked. Did he expect him to visit her?
Immediately, the expectant eyes turned into surprise.
"Li'er, you are finally willing to come and see me as your mother!"
Aunt Sun walked a few steps quickly, leaning on the door frame with a happy face, staring at Li Chengli for a moment, as if Li Chengli would disappear in the blink of an eye.
"Auntie, why are you standing at the door, go in and rest quickly, don't be caught cold by the mountain wind." Li Chengli was instantly moved.
Mother-child connection is not just talk.
It's rare to hear her son's words of concern. One can imagine the touch in Aunt Sun's heart at this moment. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say?
As the maid brought in the lunch dishes, Aunt Sun's mood gradually calmed down.
"Li'er, did your father ask you to come here this time?"
Li Chengli heard this, and the admiration just now dissipated in an instant, "My aunt always misses my father, and never thought of me coming to see you, but I just want to come and see you?"
Aunt Sun pulled her lower lip reluctantly, "Of course Auntie knows that you are filial, but I have been here in this mountain for a month or two, and it is impossible for your father to miss me."
Hearing Aunt Sun's confident words, Li Chengli's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to stroke his forehead.
"Auntie is so confident that the father and the princess will fight against the princess for you, causing their husband and wife to quarrel?"
Aunt Sun didn't like to hear these words, "It's my mother's business that their husband and wife break up, don't talk to Xia Shi all the time!"
Li Chengli didn't bother to break up with her, so he signaled the servant girl to serve the dishes.
"The rest will be discussed later, let's eat first!"
Aunt Sun pushed away the rice bowl in front of her, and the image of a loving mother lasted less than half an hour.
She said displeasedly: "What to eat, if your father didn't let you come to see me, no matter how delicious the food is, it would be like chewing wax!"
The little patience Li Chengli had when he first came in was also exhausted, he picked up the chopsticks and ate first without hesitation.
He set off before dawn today. After driving all morning, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back.
Even if there is something big going on right now, he has to fill his stomach before talking about it.
Aunt Sun saw him feasting on him, so indifferent, a sense of anger arose in her heart.
Seeing that Aunt Sun wanted to lose her temper with the third master again, the maid standing by the side hurriedly served her vegetables and said, "Auntie, the third master has driven all morning, and he is tired and hungry. What do we have to do? After we finish eating, we will chat with the third master and raise any difficulties with the third master, so that the third master can find a solution for you. You should also hurry up and eat now."
Aunt Sun thought of her son's usual rebelliousness and his attitude towards her, so she didn't dare to go too far.
The servant girl was relieved to see Aunt Sun listened to the persuasion and sat down to eat obediently.
If Aunt Sun doesn't listen to the persuasion and angers the third master, and the third master will never come to see her again, then the loss outweighs the gain.
The only thing my aunt can rely on now is the third master. If there is no care of the third master, the stewards of the farm will bully them.
The clever maid attracted Li Chengli's attention.
The servant girl's gaze met Li Chengli's gaze unexpectedly, and she smiled at him, calm and well-behaved, such a smile can easily make people let go of their guard.
Aunt Sun didn't notice the eyebrow-eye dispute between the two of them. She saw that Li Chengli's eating speed slowed down, and she knew that he had food in his stomach, so she started chattering again.
"Your father hasn't mentioned me since I left?"
Li Chengli pushed away the half-eaten rice bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "No!"
By the way, he took the teacup handed over by the maid, took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth.
"How is this possible? In the past, the prince missed me so much even if he didn't see me every day." Aunt Sun couldn't believe it.
Unwillingly, she asked again: "When you came here today, did your father know?"
Li Chengli rubbed his forehead, "Father doesn't know, so don't think about father, now father is not in Lingnan."
Aunt Sun asked eagerly, "Where did the prince go?"
"Jiankang is under siege, and the father led the army to go to the king!" Li Chengli stared at Aunt Sun's eyes and said word by word: "So don't worry about him, and you don't know when he will come back."
Aunt Sun opened her mouth, patted her forehead and said, "Your father and king led troops out of the city, who will take care of the border land in the south of the Five Ridges?"
"Auntie, don't worry too much. My father has his own arrangement. He left with his troops. The princess's troops are still stationed outside the city!"
"What's the matter, without the restraint of the prince, I don't know what the Xia family will do!"
Aunt Sun imagined that in the world of Lingnan, letting Xia Jing be the master, she panicked!
How dare the prince?
How dare he leave the land of Lingnan, leave the big family of the Wangfu, and run to Jiankang alone, the diligent king!
