Farmer Fubo is open for business
Chapter 207 Beishan Guardhouse
But no matter how disappointed you are, you have to admit it, and you have to bear with it.
Zhang Yuyan pulled Chang An and said, "It's such a cold weather, can you please don't go to your father? I'm a little scared."
"Uncle and aunt are all here, you don't have to be afraid." Chang An reassured.
Zhang Yuyan said with a bitter face: "Without you, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
Although the maids Zisu and Shaoyao were there, she still felt uneasy, and Chang'an could not bring her a sense of security.
Chang'an patted her arm: "Aniang and I really have to stay here for a while. When will dad come to pick us up and when will we leave?"
She sent a letter to her father in the capital that her mother and daughter were coming to Northern Xinjiang.
The letter also told him that her mother and daughter would be at her uncle's place and asked him to send someone to pick them up.
"That's great." Zhang Yuyan hugged Chang An and smiled: "You'd better stay with me until spring, and then we can go out and play together."
Chang'an: "After we finish cleaning up the house, we'll go out for a walk."
In fact, Yuyang County is very large, and many of the houses are magnificent, but they are all the residences of local wealthy families.
Compared with the houses of wealthy households, the county government office looks like a slum.
There is nothing that can be done about this. The county government is purchased by the imperial court, and repairs and reconstructions must be applied to the higher authorities. If the higher authorities do not approve, the county magistrate cannot be taken advantage of and pay for it himself.
If that were the case, it would be a thankless task.
Unexpectedly, before Changan had time to go out for a walk, someone came to Yuyang County to pick up her mother and daughter to meet their father.
Chang'an looked at these handsome guards in bright clothes and angry horses, and asked doubtfully: "Why didn't my father come?"
The leading boy said impatiently: "We are from Prince Yan's Mansion. We will take you to Peiping first, and then send you and your mother to Song Erxiao's Beishan Guardhouse."
Chang'an's eyes widened: "How do you know my father's name is Song Erxiao?"
"Nonsense! Isn't this obvious?" The leading boy was only fourteen or fifteen years old. He was wearing a fox fur and a gold crown inlaid with jade, which made him look like an extraordinary person.
Chang'an turned to Mrs. Jiang and asked, "Mom, should we go with them?"
Mrs. Jiang believed it when she saw that these people all wore Prince Yan's waist badges on their belts. "Then go with them."
Song Sanshun was worried about his sister-in-law and niece and said, "I'll send them to you." He also wanted to see his brother whom he hadn't seen for ten years.
My wife and daughter have already arrived and are living in the county government office. Nowhere is safer than here.
So Song Sanshun wanted to send his sister-in-law and niece to his brother's side.
The people who came from Prince Yan's Mansion didn't say anything. They just sat on horseback and watched them pack their things.
Chang'an bought two carriages in the capital, and now they are fully equipped. He also asked his servants to hire a few carriages from outside, and load the purchased grain into the carriages again, ready to take them to his father.
Dad said that it was very difficult for them to guard the camp, and many soldiers did not have enough to eat.
The imperial court did not issue military pay when there was no war, and the military rations were expected to be self-sufficient.
In other words, the soldiers in the garrison were farmers who farmed in their spare time. When foreign enemies invaded, they transformed into warriors to defend themselves against the enemy.
So Chang'an bought several carts of grain, left one cart for his uncle and aunt to eat, and took the rest to the health center.
"Hey! You should hurry up!" The golden-crowned boy urged unceremoniously.
Chang'an ignored him, and Jiang had no choice but to agree: "That's good."
By the time the mother and daughter got into the carriage, several mounted guards were already driving their horses to gallop.
Traveling quickly, we arrived at Jizhou Mansion the next day.
Chang'an, his mother and his third uncle followed a few others to visit Prince Yan and his wife, then left Shanhaiguan and rushed to Beishan Guard Station.
This time the speed was very fast, and the carriage almost flew all the way.
In the evening, we stopped at a post station to eat and rest, and continued on our way the next day.
Along the way, Chang An and A Niang were shaken to pieces and almost vomited.
Lian Xin and Xiao Ju had already turned pale, and now they could only close their eyes tightly and grit their teeth.
After walking for an unknown number of days, passing through stretches of primitive mountain forests and grasslands, we finally arrived at a small town.
"We're here! This is Beishan Institute." A guard in brocade clothes finally smiled.
There were checking soldiers at the city gate, and they let him go immediately after checking the spies.
The carriage drove into the city and came to an official residence.
Several people got off their horses, and one person stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Is Song Qianhu here?"
After a while, the door was opened. A woman poked her head out, saw the military master at the door, and quickly opened the door: "Qianhu is not at home, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"
"No need to bother, I'm just sending Qianhu's wife and daughter here, and now I'm going to the guardhouse to talk to Qianhu."
The guard stepped aside, revealing Chang An and Jiang standing behind him.
Chang'an looked curiously at the woman at the door. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a beautiful face and her hair in a woman's bun.
You could say she is a maid, but she is not dressed like one.
Could it be my biological father's aunt?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Changan took A Niang's hand and took a few steps forward.
Song Sanshun also hurried forward and asked, "Is this Song Erxiao's house?"
The woman hummed and nodded: "It's Song Qianhu's private residence."
"We are Song Erxiao's relatives, I am his brother, and these two are Song Erxiao's wife and daughter." Song Sanshun introduced carefully.
The woman looked panicked and hurriedly took a few steps back: "Then please come in quickly."
Chang'an did not hesitate and pulled A Niang into the door, followed closely by Li Xing'er and Li Xinxiaoju.
Walking into the courtyard, you can see that the courtyard is quite open and there is also a horse gallery in the courtyard.
However, there are no plants or trees in this courtyard. It looks like a courtyard, with three main rooms and three side rooms on the left and right, for a total of nine rooms.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at the woman standing aside with her head bowed, and felt mixed emotions in her heart.
Has the husband taken a concubine?
Stepping into the main room, Mrs. Jiang walked directly into the east room and saw a kang inside, and there was a woman's dress on the kang.
The house was simple, with two boxes and cages and nothing else.
Mrs. Jiang took her daughter out and went to see the West Room again.
There is also a kang in the west room, but it is not heated and is cold and devoid of any warmth.
Moreover, the kang was covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had lived there.
Mrs. Jiang had already guessed the woman's identity, and felt her chest tightening.
But it’s been nine years since my husband left. How can I always have no one around to take care of me?
What's more, he is now a member of Qianhu. He is no different from his previous status as a mud-legged man. There seems to be nothing wrong with finding a concubine or a common roommate.
After thinking about this, Ms. Jiang felt much better.
Chang'an saw something was wrong with A Niang, hugged her arm and said, "You will know everything when dad comes back, A Niang, don't be sad."
"I'm not sad." Mrs. Jiang said and went out to have the boxes, cages and other items brought in and placed in the vacant side room.
Then Lian Xin tidied up the west room of the main house and let Miss Chang'an live there.
Of course, the three maids cleaned up the two side rooms and moved their belongings in.
Not long after, Song Erxiao hurried into the house.
When he saw his brother standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment.
"Brother!" Song Sanshun called, stepping forward and hugging his brother, his voice choked with sobs.
"Sanshun!" The corners of Song Erxiao's mouth twitched a few times, and finally he couldn't help but shed tears.
Chang'an heard the sound and ran out of the house quickly, and saw a strong man in his thirties holding his third uncle in tears.
She knew at a glance that this person was the one she saw in her dream. (End of chapter)
