I deliver the courier at the end of Qin

Xu Qin and Chen Mai first went to Chen Bo's house in Hutan Township. A Xing saw Chen Mai from a distance, and ran over happily, hanging around Chen Mai's neck like a koala: "Brother Cong, I miss you so much." .”

Asu was also very excited, and immediately opened the curtain and ran into the house shouting: "Brother Cong is back, come out and have a look."

Among the three people who came out of the back room, apart from Chen Bo and Zheng Ru, whom Xu Qin knew, there was also a woman whose face was somewhat similar to Chen Mai. After just one glance, Xu Qin recognized that it should be Chen Mai. The mother who bought it was Zhang Yao.

Zhang Yao also looked curiously at the handsome young man standing next to her son: "Are you the Xu Qin that Chen Mai kept mentioning in his family letters?"

"Exactly, it's the New Year's Eve, and Chen Mai is going back to his hometown, so I'll go with him." Xu Qin replied.

Chen Mai had already called the older Asu to share the gifts on the horse with him, and now he ran to Zhang Yao and showed off, "These are gifts from the elder brother and I. "

Zhang Yao lovingly patted the dust on Chen Mai's trouser legs, smiled and said to Xu Qin: "It's good to come to visit, and bring a gift."

"Chen Mai has helped me a lot, which is what I should do." Xu Qin roughly praised Chen Mai and Zhang Yao about the situation of Chen Mai in the past two months. , and soon said that Zhang Yao was very optimistic about Chen Mai's performance and the prospect of the Escort.

Zheng Ru prepared the dishes a long time ago, and Xu Qin took out the dried abalone he brought and boiled it in the soup. The family ate delicious seafood and fashionable vegetables, enjoying themselves happily.It's just that Chen Mai's relatives are still traveling outside and may not return home until Zhengdan that day, so Chen Mai has a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

Xu Qin was a guest, and the Chen family cleaned up a room for him alone as usual, but because Zhang Yao was also at home, there was not enough room to sleep, so Chen Mai could only sleep on the floor.It was cold on the ground in winter, so Xu Qin immediately asked Chen Mai to sleep with him, so as not to hurt his muscles and bones at a young age.

After all, Chen Mai was still a young man at heart. He rode bumpy and tired all the way, lay down in the warm bed, and soon fell asleep soundly.

Xu Qin couldn't help but poked the other person's sleepy cheeks, tried the feel, and thought, fat... It seems that he has been raising him well these days.

Because Xu Qin planned to go back the next day, he and Chen Mai specially woke up early, and followed Zhang Yao back to her mother's house to visit Zhang's house.

Compared to the poverty of the Chen family who managed to install the door behind the curtain, the Zhang family is worthy of being a rich merchant's family. It has a large yard and a three-story building with exquisite cloud patterns on the tiles.

Zhang Yao's father, Zhang Zhong, and grandfather, Zhang Negative, were both at home. Xu Qin explained his intentions and hoped to cooperate with the Zhang family to open a courier station in Yangwu County. The courier service between Wuxian County will be divided into fifty-fifths by cooperation between the two parties.In addition, Xu Qin also assigned the distribution rights of the seafood he contacted in Langya County to the Zhang family, and promised that every branch station opened in the future would share resources with the Zhang family.

With such a sincere condition, coupled with his granddaughter and Chen Mai's constant instigation, Zhang Negative readily agreed to Xu Qin's request, and said that he would find a house after the new year and set up the Yangwu branch of the Escort Bureau. .

After finishing a major event, seeing two of the six small circles in the system lit up, Xu Qin was in a very beautiful mood. After exchanging happy new year greetings with Chen Mai in advance, he rode his horse to Wen County.

Qin regards October as Zheng, and the first day of October is equivalent to the first day of the new year, which is the first day of the year, so it is also called Zhengdan.When Xu Qin returned to Wen County, it happened to be the day before Zhengdan, and fluffy snow was floating in the gray sky. Every household was immersed in the festive atmosphere, and the smell of meat cooking in the pot filled the whole street.

Like modern people, on the last night of the year, they all want to eat something good, and then they can go to worship ancestors and visit each other with energy the next day.

The Xu family had already brewed winter wine for the next day's sacrifice, and the extra was taken out at night, and the family sat together to drink a few sips.Because it was snowing outside and the weather was relatively cold, although there was a fire in the room, but there was no air conditioner after all, Xu Qin proposed to eat hot pot.

The hot pot in the Qin Dynasty is a large tripod, and the high-end ones can be divided into compartments. Everyone cooks their favorite food separately in the compartments. There are meat, vegetables, dried seafood, and a big red carp that is cut into slices. It symbolizes surplus every year.

Xu Qin was sweating from eating, and his heart was filled with the happiness of a foodie.Although the condiments in the Qin Dynasty were not as rich as those of the later generations, and the cooking methods were relatively simple, the raw materials were fresh. The dishes were all green and pollution-free vegetables grown by ourselves, and the meat was raised by real grazing. As long as it comes up, it will be delicious as long as it is boiled casually.

For this, people in Xu Qin, a modern coastal area, have a deep understanding when eating seafood. Really fresh seafood is boiled, and when it is stale, it is covered with heavy salt, pepper, salt and pepper, or even deep-fried.

With enough food and wine, Xu Wang also shared a piece of good news from the imperial court. It turned out that after several months of confrontation between the Fusu army and the official army in Shangjun, they sent envoys to Beijing to say that you are your emperor and I will not fight with you, but you must Hand over the princes and princesses who were imprisoned in Chang'an.

Zhengdan is more solemn in the court than in the folk. At the beginning of the new year, the imperial court will receive congratulations from the court. On this day, the emperor will sit in Xianyang Palace and receive congratulations from civil and military officials.In the first year of Hu Hai's accession to the throne, the calendar was counted according to Zhengdan. He didn't want to go to great lengths to fight against his elder brother on such an important Zhengdan day—there was a sword disaster in the first year of his first year as emperor. It's too inauspicious - after hesitating again and again, Hu Hai still reluctantly accepted Fusu's request.

After Fusu took all his siblings and family members away, he kept his promise and withdrew.The common people were finally able to recover from the war and live a good year in peace and stability.

"After the new year, Aqin will be full." Xu Xin sighed, "Fortunately, I helped Mr. Su retreat back to the border. Otherwise, when I thought about sending Aqin to serve as a soldier, I couldn't sleep well, and my hair fell out a lot. root."

Xu Neg looked up at Xu Xin, and said calmly, "Don't worry, brother, with your appearance, you won't be bald even in your forties."

Everyone in the room laughed.

But Xu Qin always felt that Fusu was entrenched at the border with an army of 30, and it was impossible for Hu Hai to let him become king on his own.

"Leng'er, it is said that you are proficient in divination, can you calculate that you will fight again next year?" Xu Qin was about to hear some "secrets" from Xu negative.

"It seems that Mr. Fusu's numerology has been changed by someone." Xu negative shook his head, "The so-called pulling one hair and moving the whole body, the water is mixed, I can't see what the second brother asked for a while, but the second brother Brother's face is a person with profound blessings, like the Ah Mai next to you, he is also a prince, I don't think you need to worry about him."

"Amai and I will become marquises?" Xu Qin asked in surprise. Ever since he had accepted his fate and followed the system to do express delivery, he hadn't thought that he, a time-traveling man, would have the opportunity to polish his golden fingers in other career lines.Xu Negative was famous for being a fortune teller. When she said this, the rest of the family didn't take it seriously, but Xu Qin believed it.

Xu negative smiled slightly, not wanting to reveal any more secrets.

Xu Qin couldn't help showing off to Kunpeng in his mind: "I'm good, right? The employees I pick up casually can be named marquises in the future. This is a big promise."

Kunpeng didn't bother to talk to him: "You still have four express delivery stations in front of you, let's finish the task first."

"Isn't this just for Chinese New Year? After the Chinese New Year is over, I'll come to Sanyang Kaitai and get you three in one go, believe it or not?"

"Let's talk about it when you're done..."

The ancestor worship ceremony on Zhengdan Day was very grand. Xu Qin put on the new and beautiful clothes prepared by his mother, followed Xu Wang, and offered winter wine to the heaven, earth and ancestor gods.

Five days later, Chen Mai returned to Wen County, also wearing brand new clothes, with a ponytail on his head, looking fresh and capable.

Xu Qin was worried about completing the task, and ran out with Chen Mai without stopping.From October to January, he was really opened up by Sanyang, and set up three escort stations outside, but in the following February, the progress repeatedly stagnated, and the talks about several companies finally fell through. .

Seeing that the March deadline was approaching, Xu Qin had been wandering outside for several months. He planned to go back to the nearest post station in Yangwu County in Wen County to rest, and then see if there was any place to try his luck.

There was a reason why Xu Qin never came home.This year he will reach his full age, and according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he will be required to perform a shift of service. Xu Xin originally wanted to give his younger brother a job in the county, and in his spare time, he would supervise the construction of a county wall, which would be relatively easy.

Although Fusu had retreated to the frontier, and the world was temporarily stable, Hu Hai continued to recruit a large number of troops while building gorgeous tombs and palaces, and planned to send troops to attack Fusu in one fell swoop.Therefore, the tasks of conscription and corvee service assigned to each county have become more and more onerous.

A group of skilled craftsmen who were sent to build the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang never returned to their hometown. It is said that they were killed by Hu Hai and buried not far from the mausoleum.Of course Xu Xin was worried about letting his younger brother do this kind of mission that would never be returned, but sending him to the front line to fight is also very dangerous.

At this time, because many people in the world wanted to escape corvee and conscription, many people had already fled halfway, and the government was somewhat out of control.

In order to protect his younger brother, Xu Xin became more courageous and made a plan with his father Xu Wangyi to let Xu Qin go out of town not long after the Chinese New Year and not return to Wen County, so as to avoid corvee labor.

The situation in various places has become chaotic. A small group of peasants across the country have turned into bandits and occupied the mountains as kings. The originally unimpeded postal routes have become dangerous. Prevent strongmen from cutting and robbing.

Xu Qin had only been in Yangwu County for two days before Zhang Zhong came to his door.It turned out that his Zhang family had a distant relative who married a foreign wife from Feng County. Now that he heard that there would be a war in the north sooner or later, he wanted to pack all the valuables in the family and send them back to Feng County. But the road is not safe now, so that person was found. The Yangwu Escort Bureau hopes to hire a special person with a lot of money to escort an expensive escort car to Feng County.

Feng County is relatively familiar to Xu Qin. When Liu Bang started the incident, the veterans who followed him were all fellow villagers from Fengpei County.After discussing with Chen Mai, Xu Qin decided to personally escort the escort vehicle, and also go to Feng County to try his luck.

The author has something to say: Chen Mai has a marquis position in history, although he inherited it; Xu Qin has no name, but his younger sister Xu Negative is a female rank marquis, special nb
