There is a girl in the village

The carriage moved forward slowly, the wheels rolled over the snow, and made a soft "squeak" sound. A hundred soldiers cleared the way. Lu Yuanchang and others had a very pleasant journey, compared to the one they borrowed with the housekeeper when they first entered Fencheng A carriage, a group of people eat and sleep in the open, I don't know how much better it is, this time returning to the village can be described as a homecoming.

Wherever they went, all states and counties lined up to welcome them, and properly arranged board and lodging. Officials from all over the northern border had already heard about Lu Yuanchang's name, and even knew Gu Xiaofu's identity. They passed by, and the officials were afraid of hospitality. In a short time, I offended the young couple, and sincerely offered all the rare and rare treasures I collected on weekdays, just hoping to win the favor of the two of them, and my official career can also be prosperous for a long time.

Lu Yuanchang was impatient with these entertainments, and was tired of eating, drinking and having fun with a group of powerful people in Fencheng. This time, she deliberately avoided these banquets and took Gu Xiaofu to the village to hide. The army vented to the bottom.The neat military appearance, those armors shining in the sun, and the unique bayonet of the Zhenbei Army all show the magnificence of the people who are doing it. As long as you are interested, you can know whose convoy it is after a little inquiry.

Stopping and stopping, coupled with the snow covering the ground, wasted more effort than usual. It was not until the fourth day that the convoy marched to the border of Linchuan.

"A Yuan, open your mouth." Gu Xiaofu said sweetly, and fed a piece of pastry into Lu Yuanchang's slightly opened mouth. Lying in the soft carriage covered with cotton brocade, he didn't move his eyes from looking at the book of war.

"A Yuan, look quickly, Guo'er is bubbling!" Gu Xiaofu kept paying attention to one big and one small, and seeing Lu Yuanchang's delicious food, Guo'er wanted to eat it too.

Lu Yuanchang glanced at Guo'er indifferently, and then looked back at the book of war. Gu Xiaofu had no choice but to tease Guo'er by herself, feeding Lu Yuanchang a piece of pastry from time to time.Guo'er likes Song Wenji very much, besides Gu Xiaofu, Song Wenji is the second person in Guo'er's eyes, his status is similar to that of Xiao Jiu, Lu Yuanchang feels that his daughter-in-law is not close to him, and he is very depressed, she is going to talk to a child It seems that he is actually angry with Guo'er.

The car shook slightly, Lu Yuanchang fell asleep after eating, and Guoer, who had been arguing for a while, also fell asleep next to Lu Yuanchang. Satisfaction, it would be great if life could be so easy every day.She took a thick quilt and covered the two of them. She took Lu Yuanchang's book of war to broaden her horizons. As soon as she opened it, she was blushed by the two naked women on top. She was naughty. Lu Yuanchang glared at Lu Yuanchang, and he tried to look around shyly.After Lu Yuanchang had seen the forty moves, Gu Xiaofu was secretly surprised, how could these moves be so difficult, she and Lu Yuanchang probably couldn't do it.

Compared with the tranquility in Lu Yuanchang's carriage in the front, the carriage in which Yang Rong was in the back was extremely lively.Eggy is getting old, even though he has read the books of sages, but in the academy with a group of mischievous ghosts, he becomes more and more mischievous. He has been sitting in a carriage for a long time, and he was bored, so he clamored to go out for a ride, but Yang Rong didn’t allow it, Eggy The next best thing is to follow the handlebars to build the car, sometimes like this, sometimes like that, until Yang Rong is angered, bluntly said that he wants to clean up his balls, Zhenniang persuades him, but he can't go against Yang Rong's ideas , Eggy was a bit stubborn and didn't admit her mistake, so Zhenniang had no choice but to watch Eggy being severely punished by Yang Rong.

In the carriage behind, Yang Yun heard Eggy's crying and howling, and giggled with Ping'er, but Yang Yun was engaged, so shy, she resisted the desire to go to the theater.Aunt Yang looked at the innocent Yang Yun, and sighed secretly. If she married into her husband's family, what would happen? It's only because her family loves Yang Yun too much. She is only a few years younger than Gu Xiaofu, but her heart is completely different. different.

"General, Luoxi Village has arrived. According to your instructions, the soldiers did not dare to enter outside." Gu Er leaned on the outside of the carriage to report, seeing that there was no movement inside the carriage, he boldly reported again loudly.

"A Yuan, wake up, we're at the entrance of the village." Gu Xiaofu hurriedly put "Jiaojie" away, touched her hot face, and gently pushed Lu Yuanchang.

Lu Yuanchang was pushed awake by Gu Xiaofu, still a little unhappy, her eyes were sleepy, and it took a while before she woke up, and she said angrily to the outside of the car: "Let the guards station in Linbian County, you and Ping'er will come with me into the village."

"I understand, General." Gu Er took the order and hurried to make arrangements.

The carriage drove slowly into Luoxi Village. It was already dark at this time, and everyone in the village was sheltering from the cold at home. The team entered the village without anyone noticing. When they arrived at the old house of the Lu family, Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu got out of the car and watched The courtyard gate of the old house felt a little emotional for a while.

When this house was built back then, it was such a glorious thing in the village. They only went out for a year, but they have gone through a lot of vicissitudes. worth mentioning.However, Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu felt that the old house was very kind. It was passed down from Lu Zhengfeng. Her parents lived here, and Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu began to depend on each other here.

"A Yuan, we are finally back." Gu Xiaofu took Lu Yuanchang's hand and said.

"Yes, we're back." Lu Yuanchang nodded heavily, and raised his hand to open the courtyard door.

Everything in the old house remains the same, one table, one chair, one flower and one tree, the spring couplets on the door, the grilles on the windows, the bright red has faded, leaving behind the sediment.

Ping'er looked at everything in the old house with some surprise, she didn't quite understand why the two noble masters had a soft spot for this house.

The coachman put the grain and quilts from the cart behind into the warehouse, and ordered to go to Linchuan City with the troops, leaving only Gu Er and Ping Er behind.

Because Lu Yuanchang and others had already sent someone to clean it up before, they could move in directly, but Gu Xiaofu took the screen and cleaned it up carefully, while Gu Er started to heat the kang.

Lu Yuanchang hugged Guo'er and wandered around the yard, Xiao Jiu followed suit, sometimes rolling in the snow, sometimes pulling Lu Yuanchang's trouser legs, Lu Yuanchang felt that Xiao Jiu seemed to be very happy, and the feeling of returning home was no the same.

Gu Er arranged everything properly, and went to Yang's house to spend the night according to the arrangement before leaving. Ping'er stayed in Lu Yuanchang's former study, while Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu went to the dark pavilion after washing up. Worship parents.

Gu Xiaofu knelt in front of the memorial tablet and apologized to Bao Shi because she forgot Bao Shi's birth taboo, while Lu Yuanchang hugged Guo'er to Bao Shi, hoping that she would bless Guo'er to be safe and happy in life, And told her parents in the sky that she has been living a good life, especially after having Gu Xiaofu, her life is very satisfactory.

"Father and mother, the child is not filial, and survives by self-mutilation. I originally thought that the child is already a crippled person, and he will die alone. After this life, it is a pity that the wife does not despise the child. She is willing to spend this life with the child and die for me. The family continues the incense. The child has nothing to repay, so he has to disobey the rules and stay close to his wife. Parents are alive in heaven, and they will understand the child's heart. Today, the child is successful and famous, and the shackles of the Lu family have been broken for generations. With this bloodline, parents should be able to smile at Jiuquan." Lu Yuanchang said with tears.

Although in her memory, Lu Zhengfeng's figure is extremely vague, and what she pieced together is also a portrait made by Bao Shi during his lifetime, but Lu Yuanchang can always feel Lu Zhengfeng's care for her, while Bao Shi is single. Great, even in times of war, even when he was dying, Bao tried his best to protect himself.How difficult it is for a woman to protect an ignorant child in such a troubled world.

In fact, Lu Yuanchang had heard from Aunt Yang that there was a respectable man who was willing to marry Bao as his continuation during Fengguan, and promised to treat Lu Yuanchang as his own son. Still declined.She wanted to guard for Lu Yuanchang, Lu Zhengfeng, and the last drop of blood for the Lu family.

Seeing that Lu Yuanchang was a little excited, Gu Xiaofu pulled her with her small hand, tight and tight, Lu Yuanchang talked about all the major events that happened this year with his parents before he was willing to get up, but , Kneeling for a long time, when he just stood up, he staggered a little.

Nesting in the warm kang was the warmth of a family of three. Lu Yuanchang was a little sentimental, so Gu Xiaofu coaxed Guo'er to sleep, and quietly nestled into Lu Yuanchang's arms, comforting her silently.

"Fu Niang, I came home today and slept on this kang. I don't know why, but I always feel very at ease in my heart." Lu Yuanchang murmured.

"Me too. Here, it reminds me of the past, when I spent all my life on daily necessities, but I lived a very comfortable life." Gu Xiaofu softly agreed.

Tired all the way, the two talked for a while, and then fell asleep.

On the second day, Yang Ming invited the successor village head, Mrs. Hua, to organize the villagers to go outside the Lu family mansion and wait for Lu Yuanchang to distribute winter supplies.This time, there was a riot in Luoxi Village. Although the harvest this year was not bad, it was hit by a disaster last year. Cotton, that is a timely help.

The villagers knew that Lu Yuanchang had become a general, and someone outside told Gu Xiaofu that she was the daughter of General Song. Also surprised that Gu Xiaofu would be the daughter of General Song.The affairs of the Lu family are as exciting as a playbook, and the villagers will say a few words when they have nothing to do.

But they never thought that Lu Yuanchang would help them, because after the tenants of the Lu family who went to pay the rent in the Lu Mansion in Fencheng came back, they had already talked about the wealth of the Lu Mansion, and they had no chance to meet Lu Yuanchang. After meeting Zhenniang, they rewarded each person with five hundred dollars, stayed for a meal, and returned to the village.

For the ordinary villagers, Lu Yuanchang and Gu Xiaofu at this time were high-ranking nobles, and they were indeed extremely mean to Lu Yuanchang. It is true that the words of not bullying young people are poor. They just beg Lu Yuanchang not to hold grudges Revenge, how dare Xiao Xiao think that this general can have such kindness.

At the gate of the courtyard, Lu Yuanchang watched Yang Rong, Gu Er and others distributing grain and cotton, and those who received relief supplies all knelt and kowtowed in front of him, expressing their sincere thanks.At first, Lu Yuanchang told people not to kneel, but there were so many villagers, and each of them really wanted to kneel, so she let them do what they wanted, maybe it would make them feel better.

The Lu Mansion distributes grain and cotton according to the hair of the person, not the household. Therefore, families with many children and elderly people who are burdened are very at ease, and the scene is extremely orderly, and there has been no incident of looting.

Wanniang saw that Lu Yuanchang was about to go back to the house after the food was released, so she had the courage to go forward and make a blessing, and carefully asked: "General Lu, can I meet with my wife?"

"Of course, Wanniang can go in with me. Funiang misses you on the way. Originally, she wanted to ask you to go after the food distribution." Lu Yuanchang said gently. Good impression, because when Gu Xiaofu was in the most difficult time, it was Wanniang who always did her best to help Gu Xiaofu silently.

When Wanniang entered, she saw Gu Xiaofu reading a book in the study room, and there was a beautiful young girl who was coaxing a child, she hadn't greeted her yet, Gu Xiaofu saw her coming in, and hurriedly stood up and held her back. She wanted to squat down and said, "Wanniang, what are you doing, no matter when, we are sisters, you don't need to be polite."

"I... I thank you, madam." Wanniang was a little flattered. The Gu Xiaofu in front of her was like a fairy, and she was more beautiful than before. The aristocratic air of the whole body made people feel ashamed in front of her, but she She didn't put on airs at all, and was still as affectionate with herself as she was back then.

"What madam, Wanniang don't do this again, or I'll get angry." Gu Xiaofu pretended to be angry, while asking Ping'er to pour tea for Wanniang.

"Fu... Fu Niang, you have had a good year. I have always missed you in the village. You are far away from your hometown, and the officials of Lu are on the front line. At that time, Erlang came back to tell me that it was from the north. The battle was intense, and then Fencheng fell again. After I heard it, I didn’t sleep well for several days, because I was afraid that you are a weak woman..." Wan Niang was a little choked up, she and Gu Xiaofu had a childhood relationship, and they knew each other at Wei Mo , Don't say it, it's like a sister.

"Don't worry, everything is fine with me, it's just that Da Lang is suffering a bit, but right now it's all over." Gu Xiaofu pulled Wan Niang to sit on the couch, intending to have a good talk with her.

The sisters are deeply in love, and with just a few words, both of their hearts opened up, telling each other what happened during the year, the Hua family split up, Hua Erlang and Zhenniang chose the open space next to Lu's house, A small courtyard was built, and because Dad Hua became the village head, they were not in a tight financial situation. They took care of their husbands and children, and did easy work, and Wanniang's life was not bad.

Gu Xiaofu didn't dare to tell Wanniang what happened to her, because these things are the top priority when it comes to the common people, she hugged Guo'er and Wanniang looked at it, Wanniang praised Guo'er for being precious, and she was so beautiful excellent.

Gu Xiaofu left Wanniang to eat at home. When Wanniang left, Gu Xiaofu gave her two 100 taels of silver notes. How could Wanniang accept it? Gu Xiaofu put on a face and said: " This money is not for you, but for your son. At the beginning you said you wanted me to recognize your youngest son as a godson, but now I’m afraid I can’t. You accept this kindness for him. If they grow up and have a future , you let them go to Fencheng to find me, and I will definitely arrange their future."

When Wanniang heard this, she was very grateful. Gu Xiaofu's ability to say such words promised her two sons a lifetime of wealth and honor. The mother would not worry about anything, but only worried about her children. Wanniang felt that she It's just a moment of kindness, feeling that Gu Xiaofu's life is too hard, and as the daughter-in-law of the Hua family, she can help very limited, who would expect such a return.

After the food was released, Lu Yuanchang was invited by Father Hua to a banquet to discuss matters. At the banquet, Lu Yuanchang promised to Father Hua that if there was any need for her in the village, he would just ask her. This made Father Hua overjoyed. I just feel that Lu Yuanchang is a rare kind person who benefits the village.

To be honest, the most difficult thing in the village is the lack of money. Lu Yuanchang has plenty. Throwing a thousand taels of silver at Luoxi Village will not make a big difference. Lu Yuanchang only has one request, which is to let the villagers build a shrine for the Lu family. The ancestors of the Lu family were enshrined, so that the ancestors could inherit the incense from generation to generation.

Father Hua naturally agreed to this request, not to mention that the ancestral hall has been abandoned for a long time, and it is not his own ancestral hall. Even if it is good, for the sake of the whole village, Father Hua has no reason to refuse.With the Lu Family Ancestral Hall in Luoxi Village, that is Lu Yuanchang's sphere of influence. In the northern border, no one can give a third of the face, and the villagers are much straighter when they go out.

Gu Er wrote down the difficulties mentioned by Father Hua one by one, such as repairing canals, access roads, plowing the fields, changing farm tools, buying animal power, etc., so many that Gu Er was about to lose his face. Be the God of Wealth.

Lu Yuanchang's eyes signaled Gu Ermo to show a bullying face, and he agreed one by one with a light smile. Gu Xiaofu told herself last night that since she wants to do good things, she should do it in a grand manner, and there is no need to worry about the rumors in the past. In this way, he has done good deeds and gained a good reputation, which can be regarded as accumulating blessings for Guo'er.

For Guo'er, Lu Yuanchang could risk his life, so why can't he let go of this face and forget the past grievances.She is repaying grievances with virtue and convincing others with virtue, so let everyone see her general's mind.

After the banquet, everyone was satisfied, and Lu Yuanchang asked Yang Rong to summon all the tenants to his yard and hand out New Year gifts one by one.Tears welled up in the tenants' eyes. It was a blessing for them to be able to follow such a master for several lifetimes.Gu Er waited to convey Lu Yuanchang's words, the general wanted to buy all the land around Luoxi Village, as well as the land in several surrounding villages. By then, this large piece of land would belong to the Lu family, and these lands would naturally be rented out Yes, let the tenants go to the villages to collect tenants who are willing to rent land, and then the old tenants will be able to become stewards.

The tenants kowtowed to Lu Yuanchang in unison. After suffering for many generations, they finally made it through.

On this day, Lu Yuanchang was so busy until it was dark that he took Gu Xiaofu and others to Yang's house for dinner.

"Dalang, A Yuan, I will not go back to Fencheng when your mother and I come back this time. The situation in the northern border is stable now, so you should be at ease." Yang Ming's hometown is hard to leave, a prosperous city like Fencheng It's not suitable for them, he had this plan before leaving.

"Father and mother, how can you do this?" Yang Rong was a little anxious when he heard the words, he had managed to live a good life, and he still wanted to respect his filial piety, but he didn't want to be like Lu Yuanchang, who wanted to support his son but would not wait for his relatives.

"Dalang, don't worry, just listen to Dad." Yang Ming pressed Yang Rong, and said lightly: "It was a helpless move to follow you into Fencheng. You young people don't understand. Back then, I and you A Niang took you to hide, wandering, and tired of the days of fleeing. The gold and silver nests are not as good as your own dog kennels. You and your A Niang live comfortably in Luoxi Village. This time back to the city, Da Lang Bring Yunniang back together, Zhenniang prepares for your little sister-in-law to marry, don't let her husband's family look down on her, walk around more on weekdays to help, this is the greatest tribute you two have to us two elders."

"Daddy, Mommy..." Knowing that she was going to leave her parents, Yang Yun felt very uneasy.

"Yunniang, when you grow up, you need to be sensible. Discuss everything with your elder brother and sister-in-law. If there is something unresolved, I will find your sister-in-law, Ayuan Gefu, and come back to live for a few days when you have time during the New Year. Letter. Don't worry about the two of us, everything will be fine." Aunt Yang instructed carefully.

"Godfather and mother, don't worry, when my elder brother and I were in Fencheng, my elder brother once told me to let me go to the front line with peace of mind. As long as there is the Yang family, there will be the Lu family, and my wife will not be bullied. Today Let me also say something, the Yang and Lu families are one family, as long as I, Lu Yuanchang, no one would dare to treat the Yang family badly." Lu Yuanchang said solemnly.

"Ah Yuan is a good boy. After eating my Yang family's food, half of the Yang family's blood seems to flow on his body. If your parents know, they will be angry." Yang Ming smiled and nodded with great satisfaction. .

After discussing the matter, the group returned to Lu's house. This night, Guo'er didn't have enough to eat, while Ping'er didn't sleep, her face was red and hot. The Lu's old house is not soundproof!Let her be an unmarried little lady, how embarrassing!
