Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 146 Military Disaster
In addition to the salaries of government employees, the painters who grew up in the local government also received gifts in the form of silver. This silver gift is a gift for fugitives, and the amount is usually 10 to 30% of the reward.
But many of the portraits were not as drawn, and it was difficult to catch the fugitives, even if they were caught, a reward of at most 10% would be offered. If the portrait brought by Gu Jin'an had a great chance of catching a fugitive, the father-in-law would definitely give him 30% of the reward.
Gu Jinan knew very well that his family had no money or power, and he could not miss this opportunity if he wanted to become famous, so he immediately nodded: "Master, the students are willing." Shang Xiucai laughed: "OK
, I will arrange this matter. Let's get better at this kind of painting first. ”
The two paintings brought today were clearly written by two people. One painting was smooth and natural, while the other was drawn with a more rigid line, it was a real and spiritless type of work, and it was definitely the work of Gu Jin'an.
Gu Jin'an got up, bowed and said, "Students understand."
Shang Xiucai raised his hand and gestured to sit down. Knowing that third grandfather and the others had come to ask him to find someone, he asked about the situation of the Gu Fuya and Gu Daya Families.
The third grandfather said: "Fuya married Xie Pingzi from Xiejiaping, Changping City. Pingzi was thirty-five years old, and was the third child of the old Xie family. The husband and wife have two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was fifteen this year, and his name was Xie Jingxian. The second son was thirteen years old and his name was Xie Jingmin; the youngest daughter was ten years old and his name was Xie Jianing ... "The third grandfather gave a detailed explanation
about the situation of Gu Fuya's family, from how old Gu Fuya was, who she married, where she lived, and what she did Earning a living were all clearly stated.
“When we escaped from hunger, we went to Changping City to look for it, but the people in the city said that when they returned to Xiejiaping, the grocery store was already closed.” The third grandfather only had such a daughter, and he only wanted his daughter to marry in this life
never thought of asking her daughter to recruit a relative to continue the family line.
Their husband and wife liked Gu Fuya from the beginning, and eventually married Gu Fuya to Xie Lao San in Xiejoeping when Gu Fuya was fifteen.
Xie Lao San's father and third grandfather were good brothers. When they were young, they often went to various places to dig wells and work together. The third grandfather trusted the Xie family, so he married his only daughter to the third son of the Xie family. Xie Family.
The third grandfather had good eyesight. The Xie Family treated Gu Fuya very well. Xie Pingzi has known Fuya since she was a child. The relationship between the couple is very good. Pingzhen opened a grocery store, the husband and wife took their children to look after the store, and they lived a very good life.
But after the drought, all good days are gone. The well in Changping City was dry, so Xie Pingzi and Gu Fuya had to bring their children back to Xiejiaping.
When the third grandfather and the others came to Xiejiaping, there was no one in Xiejiaping, and everyone in Pingzi had escaped collectively.
“At first we thought that if everyone goes faster, we can always bump into them, but we came all the way from hunger and asked everywhere, but there is no news.” Said the third grandfather, his eyes could not help but blush. .
Shang Xiucai wrote down all the things that the third grandfather said on the paper, and after the third grandfather finished speaking, he asked a few more questions to the third grandfather, and after making up what he missed, he asked a few more questions, he asked Gu Dashan: "Sister Gu , the older sister of the Gu family How is the situation with the family?"
Gu Dashan took out a yellowed letter from the cloth bag he was carrying, and handed it to Shang Xiucai: "This is the letter my aunt brought. It's right there."
Gu Dashan continued to carry this letter, afraid that one day he would forget the Da Ya family situation, and he would not be able to find his sister in the future.
Shang Xiucai opened the letter and seeing that the handwriting on it was already wet and opaque, it took him over a quarter of an hour to read the contents of this letter.
Gu Daya was married to Daaozi Village, Huaizi City, Mingshan County. From its name, one could tell that it was a poor mountain valley. The man she married was named Qi, who did not have a real name, and had a nickname named Qi Panzi .
The situation was such a situation, very limited.
Shang Xiucai wrote down the situation of Madam Gu's family according to what was written in the letter, and after writing down the situation, he said: "I will send Lao Luo to Fucheng to pass the news to my father-in-law, and let him help to find out the disaster victims. Please stay home and wait for news. I'll let you know as soon as there's news. ”
The third grandfather and the others were very grateful, and the third grandfather asked again: "It's almost March, why have these victims not been resettled? Has the drought not subsided? "
They were now in the He'an Mansion, Jianghuai, thousands of miles away from the northwest, and they did not know the situation in the northwest, and whether the drought that caused everyone's homelessness had been resolved, he said, Chu Zhen will be over.
Shang Xiucai said: "In early February, the residence newspaper said that there was heavy snowfall in the northwest, and the drought has been resolved. The victims now assigned were not those who fled famine due to drought, but the army disaster." Because of the drought, Da
Chu Many military disasters occurred from the northwest to the northeast, and even in Zhongzhou. People who escaped the drought were so caught up in a military disaster that they could only continue to flee south.
The imperial court issued a firm order not to allow the victims to cross the river south of the Yangtze River, so they had to resettle the victims in Jianghuai prefecture, and then there's a new victim that needs to be moved.
Third grandfather and Gu Dashan were terrified: “It turns out it was a military disaster!”
Farmers fear not natural disasters, but military disasters. Sometimes natural disasters can be overcome, but military disasters will kill people on the spot.
The third grandfather and Gu Dashan were very frightened, shook their hands and asked: "What should I do?"
If the Fu Ya and Da Ya families faced a military disaster, what would happen?
Shang Xiucai looked at the appearance of third grandfather and Gu Dashan, and comforted him: "Uncle Gu, Brother Gu, don't worry. The imperial court has sent a huge army to quell the disaster, and now we have won a few games. The military disaster in Zhongzhou has disappeared. There is also good news from there, but the northwest is harder. "Northwest
it was the territory of the Duke of Wei, but Emperor Jingyuan was afraid of the Duke of Wei, and in any case for the suffering of the people, he took the opportunity to destroy the Duke of Wei and seize the Duke of Wei. Military forces in the northwest had caused many of the former Duke of Wei's forces to revolt. It may take some time to put out a military disaster in the northwest.
“However, two sisters of the Gu family left the northwest during the dry season, so they will not be affected by the war.”
As long as they don't escape to the northeast, it's okay.
But Shang Xiucai did not say that, it only made third grandfather and Gu Dashan worried.
Third grandfather and Gu Dashan knew that a military disaster was not something that ordinary people could face, and they could only submit to fate.
After talking about the Gu Fuya and Gu Daya families, they left Shangjia Village and returned to Dafeng Village.
After they left Shang's house, one of them jumped out of the bamboo forest, tidied up his clothes, came to Shang's door, and knocked on Shang's door.
This person was none other than Gu Dexing who had always wanted to worship Shang Xiucai as his teacher.
