Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

With the arrival of late spring, Wanxi left for a few days.

In the past few days, some fish will pop up in the small river outside the forest. Qin Juan led his soldiers to catch the fish. The big ones he caught were brought back, and the small ones were released.

Qin Juan taught them how to make fish soup. It is also delicious to eat the soup with rice or break the cake into small pieces and eat it with mutton.

After a few days, Wanxi still hadn't come back, Qin Juan had already started to lead the soldiers to reclaim the land in the forest, and sowed the seeds he brought back from Liangzhou.

Although cabbage and leeks are common in the market, they are difficult to feed in Suzhou. Anyway, the first batch of seeds sown by Qin Juan didn't even germinate, and died directly in the soil.

Although the seeds of this batch died, the soldiers seemed obsessed with cabbage and leeks and insisted on planting them.

The soldiers began to study how to sow seeds, how to fertilize, and even found that the soot from burning firewood was sprinkled on the soil where leeks were sown. After a period of time, many small green heads finally emerged.

The soldiers seemed very excited. These methods found by accident are so effective. Do you want to plant more seeds? Anyway, there are still so many seeds.

Qin Juan asked the soldiers to set up three watchtowers on the outskirts of the forest, so they could observe the surrounding situation.

I don’t know what’s going on in Liangzhou. Donuqi didn’t send anyone to look for him. As for the possibility of sending someone to Liangzhou to look for him, if the people from Riyue can’t touch him, they probably won’t be there. Stay in Liangzhou for a long time.

He was always worried about where Guiyou Khan's army had gone, whether Huhu had written him a letter, whether Songman and Xiaoqu'er missed him.

Wanxi went away for more than ten days and did not come back, and no one came to report to him.

This alone was enough for Qin Juan to be sure that something serious had happened.

So, in the early morning of March [-]th, Qin Juan asked Ah Zaodong to take a few people to Suzhou City to inquire about news.

At this time, Kaliu stepped forward. He said that he knew Suzhou the most, and he knew how many dog ​​holes there were.

Qin Juan agreed.

Azaodong and his men squatted in Suzhou for a day and a night before reaching Wanxi.

But on the night of the [-]th, Ah Zaodong still did not see Wanxi, and Wanxi's people handed over the letter written by Wanxi to Ah Zaodong.

"Give the letter to Mr. Qin. Also, my master said that you should not come to Suzhou or go to other places if you encounter any problems and hear any rumors. Just stay where you are."

That night, Azaodong took Kaliu and the others back.

After A Zaodong handed Wanxi's letter to Qin Juan, he also relayed this passage.

Qin Juan opened the letter silently, and didn't stand up until he saw the contents of the letter.

Seeing that his expression changed, Ah Zaodong immediately asked, "My lord?"

Qin Juan didn't want to hide it, and told him: "Guiyou is dead."

A Zaodong's face turned pale when he heard this, and immediately said: "My lord, you can't let the soldiers know about this, let's keep it a secret for a while?"

"Qin Juan frowned and hummed heavily, he felt very confused, some things he hadn't figured out yet.

Guiyou was weak and sick since he was a child, and he had been injured in battle all year round, so he died due to the deterioration of his condition.

Wanxi only learned about Ruogui's death, and with the speed at which Wanxi got the news, Guiyou's death would not be too long.

Now Guiyou's army is bound to be in chaos. In fact, if you want to know what happened, it's not easy to check other things. You can just check Guiyou's younger brother and expand it. It may be faster to check only Timur.

But now Qin Juan has almost lost contact with Liangzhou.

After a few days, Wanxi still hasn't come back.

One day during morning exercise, Qin Juan went to the kitchen. He just wanted to check the kitchen, but he noticed Yao Silang again.

He appeared there with clean hair and neat clothes, chopping wood and feeding the horses.

Qin Juan looked at him in a daze, and after a while, suddenly smiled.

Yao Silang seemed to have noticed something, and looked towards this side, he saw that handsome young man smiling at him, somehow his heart was stung and hurt.

He hadn't seen appreciation for him in the eyes of anyone other than guards and horse thieves for a long time...

Long time no.

At this moment, he was choked up and speechless.

Qin Juan walked over, took out the thing and handed it to Yao Silang, the only bell shook and made a nearly hoarse sound.

Yao Silang didn't take it, but said to him: "After you took it for ten days, I suddenly felt that it was not important."

"..." Qin Juan thought to himself, even so, you are still willing to comb your hair, wear clean clothes, and wipe your cheeks. This is enough.

After Yao Silang piled up the chopped firewood, he wiped his hands clean and took the things Qin Juan handed over, and suddenly said with a smile: "Because it was engraved in my heart, it inspired me, and I came back to life."

Qin Juan couldn't help asking: "Then can you tell me the story of this thing?"

Yao Silang was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him with ignorant and simple eyes, as if trying to remember.

Fourteen years ago, nine-year-old Yao Silang was left in a house by his father, and his main task every day was to study.

What he has to do every day, besides reading or reading...

He sees his father only once a month or sometimes half a year.

Apart from Mr. who would come every three days, he was accompanied by only two guards, Inuan and Inu, and two brothers.

When he was young, he was silent, melancholy, and reticent... In fact, there was nothing to be depressed about. He was probably a little more sensitive than other children since he was a child.

That day he climbed up the high courtyard wall for the first time and stood on the courtyard wall

When a child carved in powder and jade appeared in front of him, shouting: "What are you doing... you're not going to commit suicide, are you?"

It was only then that he discovered that someone lived in the house next door. It should have been moved in one night, and no one came out to move around during the day, so it would make people think that no one lived there.

He looked at the beautiful child and didn't speak, maybe because his appearance was too "loveless".

The child was a little scared, but he didn't dare to call someone, maybe he lived here alone.

"Don't jump, okay, it's so high, you'll really fall to your death."

Yao Silang knew that the courtyard wall of his house was very high. It was because his father was worried about his safety that he raised the courtyard wall to prevent robbers from entering.

He kept silent and the kid really panicked.

After a long time, Yao Silang said to the child with a blank face: "Today is my birthday, my father probably forgot, I am not happy."

Obviously hearing his words, the child's handsome face was a little speechless, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time.

There was a shout from outside the door, and someone was calling for the child.

The child responded and said he would be there soon.Then he looked at Yao Silang with beautiful eyes, and said cautiously: "I'm going to leave here with my father, can you promise me not to jump before I leave, my father said that a person's life is only once, and if you waste it, there will be no jump." Yes, I think your father must love you, he has not forgotten your birthday, he may be on his way here... that's right."

The boy untied a bundle at his feet and picked something from it.

"I'll give you a birthday present instead of your father, please don't dance."

Things that can be thrown over the high wall by him.

But the clever Yao Silang knew that the boy picked and picked, and the ones thrown over must be toys that he didn't like very much.

Thinking of this, Yao Silang smiled.

Seeing him smiling, the boy thought he was happy and would not think about dying.

The boy fastened the bundle and said to him, "I'm going to catch a big boat with my father, you must live well!"

The boy left and the yard was silent.

He wondered if the boy and the boy's father had caught up with the big ship.

But he didn't wait for his father who celebrated his birthday.

Because that night, someone killed him and came in.

This thing became the last birthday present that the boy gave him instead of his father.

Time seemed to stand still at the year when he was nine years old.

His future life will be neither sad nor happy, he will lose consciousness, and every time he can't survive, he will take a look at this "birthday gift".

It seemed that the child was telling him, let him not die, let him live well.

What he didn't know was that the child hadn't caught up with the big ship, and even the child had long forgotten about it.

Until the child listened to Yao Silang telling this story now, he didn't recall the little brother he talked to before he was arrested and sent to the Mongolian slave tribe.

After all, it was only a one-sided relationship.

"Actually, what kind of gadget is this? I haven't figured it out, but I've been wearing it all the time." While speaking, Yao Silang opened the gadget, which obviously attracted Qin Juan's attention.

Yao Silang doesn't know how big a "window" his unintentional small action opens.

Without this action, they will always just think that the person in front of them is their new friend.

"I discovered it when I was a child. There is still something in it." Yao Silang said, taking out what was inside, "It's a small silver nameplate with the word 'Qin Gu' engraved on it. I think that Let the child be called 'Qin Gu'."

Hearing this, the boy's pupils dilated several times, and he almost snatched the thing from Yao Silang's hand in an instant, until his gaze was fixed on "Qin Gu"

That beautiful child chose a toy he was unfamiliar with as a gift to his little brother, but he didn't know that it was a silver name tag his father gave to his younger sister.

At this moment, Qin Juan has confirmed that this person is someone he has crossed paths with, but he really can't remember it at all, and has no impression at all.

But he was sure that the silver name tag in his hand was for his younger sister.

Marriage was common among people in the Song Dynasty, and now he guessed that the silver medals and jewelry his father gave Gu Gu every year were saving a dowry for Gu Gu.

Yao Silang looked at Qin Juan and suddenly understood something.

He couldn't remember the appearance of that child back then, but he always felt that that child had always been in his life.
