Chapter 935 Zilu receives a cow

Just in front of the road, Zhu Gaoxu and his group of more than a dozen people arrived at the place, they saw a group of people gathered outside the yard, all surrounded by an old man in a long robe.

This place should be Tang Saier's family. The roof of the yard is covered with tiles. As expected, her family does not seem to be very poor.Because along the way, Zhu Gaoxu saw that there were occasionally thatched houses in some villages.

Zhu Gaoxu and others got off the horse and walked over. The old man in the robe knelt down on the ground with a few people and bowed: The old man’s surname is Tang, and he is a fellow villager here.The adults passed by the village and were far away to welcome him.May I ask the name of the eldest son?

However, the onlookers did not salute or kneel, and still stood around, watching the villagers and officials talking like watching the show.

Asari, who was traveling with him, was a Semi-sex person. It was rare in the countryside of Daming. Many villagers were paying attention to Asari, probably because they were strange.

Hou Hai turned his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu raised his chin slightly to indicate.

Please come up, fellow villagers.Hou Hai went up to help him and said, "This official is Hou Hai, the left envoy of the Guardian Department. This is Tian Xiuyuan, the Tongzhi of Binzhou Prefecture.

The fellow villagers said: I have long admired it.Lord Hou is an official in the capital?The old man heard that the emperor is lucky to Binzhou. Could it be that Lord Hou has arrived here with the emperor?

Hou Hai smiled and said: The hometown elders are very knowledgeable.

Zhu Gaoxu also felt that this fellow villager knew more than Li Zhi, and he was a person who had read books when he heard him.At this time, most of the landlords who were rich in the local area were willing to read and read.

The fellow villager turned around and waved to him: Come here quickly, your father is having an affair with a noble man.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately looked behind his hometown, and then he saw a tall girl coming over. She was probably Tang Sai'er.

Li Zheng said that she was only fifteen years old, but she was almost the same size as the man around her, with straight facial features and slightly tall cheekbones.

She was not wearing a skirt, and her long top was tied with cloth rope around her waist. The clothes that were not cut properly looked a little bloated, and she was wearing pants underneath.

Although her clothes are old, she still looks quite heroic.

The young lady has good skin, but her hands are big and rough.

In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, Tang Sai'er was not very beautiful, but he was not disappointed, just thinking that her temperament was really different from that of ordinary village girls.

It is said that after Tang Sai'er failed to rebel in history, Zhu Di searched all over the world and arrested a large number of nuns and female Taoist priests, but still found nothing.

Now, this woman who may want to overthrow the Zhu family dynasty is standing in front of Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaoxu is in a complicated mood for a moment.

A young lady Tang Sai'er greets you all.Tang Sai'er bowed.

Hou Haidao: No gifts.

Tang Sai'er said: Dear adults and neighbors, don't stand at the door, please sit in the house.My father is not at home, and the young lady cooks some rough tea to entertain everyone.

Zhu Gaoxu heard that she spoke clearly and behaved generously, but he felt that this woman should have some control ability.

Even if you want to lead a group of poor peasants to revolt, you still need some ability. Those who can't even speak clearly and shrink their words and deeds are obviously not allowed.

So everyone walked into the yard together.Tang Sai'er led the way on the front side. As soon as she stepped into the yard, she turned around and asked: How did my father know the noble man?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't say anything. He was self-righteous and was of course unwilling to lie in public easily, even if it was just to make excuses.Besides, the man who fooled Li Zheng before, was Hou Hai, so of course Hou Hai should come to smooth things over.

Hou Hai pondered for a moment and said: We have a child of the same clan in our family who went to Beijing to take the exam.There were a few bandits on the road who didn't know that he was a scholar, so they stopped the road and kidnapped him.At that time, there was a Shandong hero who helped him see unfairness.Later, the hero reported to his family, saying that he was from Binzhou, and also talked about the fact that he had a female name Tang Sai'er at home.This official happened to pass by this place recently, so he came to search.

Tang Sai'er asked: Lord Hou, when and where did that happen?

Hou Hai turned his head and said: Mr. Hong and Master Tian Tongzhi, please.Pretending to be polite with Zhu Gaoxu and others, he ignored Tang Saier's words.

If this question is answered, it will definitely be missed on the spot. How could Hou Hai know when and where did Tang’s father go to work?

Fortunately, Tang Sai'er was not embarrassed to ask repeatedly, which was a temporary avoidance of embarrassment.

Everyone sat in the dirt house on the front of the yard, but other villagers had not left. Some were standing in the yard, while others found a place to squat and watch the fun.

The fellow villagers took a box of tea for Tang Sai'er. She said that the water had been boiled in advance, so she went to make tea.

Sure enough, after a while, Tang Sai'er came to entertain guests with tea bowls, and took a few thick bowls and a pot of tea soup, and asked the villagers to drink tea together.

She was busy and thought of everyone under the limited conditions.

Duan Xueheng, who was accompanying him, drank the tea in front of her first. After waiting for a while, she changed Zhu Gaoxu's bowl and her own bowl.

The small details made the villagers stare at each other for a moment.While talking to Hou Hai respectfully, the fellow villagers frequently looked at Zhu Gaoxu and kept observing Zhu Gaoxu.

There were two women in the group, except for the Semen Asari, who was Duan Xueheng disguised as a man.

Even the high-ranking official Hou Hai in a red robe cannot be served by the women accompanying him; and what is Mr. Hong’s identity, so expensive that he needs others to try anything that is first?

Zhu Gaoxu felt that his identity had been guessed by his fellow villagers. This place can't be kept for a long time. It's not that there is any danger, but that it will be embarrassing to stay there.

He looked at Tang Sai'er again. It was not certain whether Tang Sai'er had any relationship with the White Lotus Sect, but she obviously had not rebelled yet.

Zhu Gaoxu thought that the important factor of the Shandong Uprising may have played a limited role.

He thought to himself: One reason is that the local area once had too heavy burdens and the people had difficulty in making a living. The other reason is that the White Lotus Sect's organization. If there is no organization, people will obviously not be able to fight against the government.

He finally made up his mind and said: Thank you for your hospitality today, we have prepared some small gifts.I heard that Mrs. Tang had engaged to the Lin family and waited for Lingzun to return home, so I would like to add some dowry to your family.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, immediately stood up, took off a treasure bag from his waist, and sent it to Zhu Gaoxu with both hands.

Zhu Gaoxu held it in his hand and heard the sound of metal collision inside. There should be some silver and copper coins.

Zhu Gaoxu handed over to the direction of Tang Saier standing.

Tang Sai'er said: My father taught me a lesson, and the common women dare not receive favors for no reason.

Zhu Gaoxu said: Lingzun is not at home, you should bear it for him.

Tang Sai'er said: My father helped him on the road, not to get rewards.

The fellow villagers said: If Zilu rescues the drowning, the man worships him with a cow, and Zilu receives him.Confucius said that people in Lu must save those who drown.

Tang Sai'er looked confused.

Zhu Gaoxu said: What the hometown elder means is that your father helps others in urgent need and you will benefit from it. In the future, everyone is willing to help. This is a good thing for the people.I hope that after your father returns to his hometown, your family can live a stable life and the villagers can be safe.

After hearing this, Tang Sai'er stepped forward to collect the gift bag and bowed to thank him.

So Zhu Gaoxu got up and said: I'm upset, we have to say goodbye.

Tang Sai'er said: I haven't asked the hero's name Gao.

Zhu Gaoxu casually said: No, I will accompany my friends for a walk.Just recognize this Hou Zuo envoy Hotan Tongzhi.

Everyone walked out of the room and asked the guards to lead the horses over, so they walked out of the yard under the gaze of a group of villagers.The villagers, the Li Zheng and Tang Sai'er were sent outside the yard.

At this time, the sun was already west, and the group rode straight back in the direction of the military camp and soon found the main road.

Walking on the road, Duan Xuehen suddenly caught up and asked directly: How can the emperor know Tang Sai'er?

When Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, he saw Hou Hai and others looking curiously.Hou Hai dared not ask, but Duan Xuehen sometimes had to be much more casual in front of Zhu Gaoxu.

A casual name. Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to answer, the name of the little girl in the village, Sai Jinhua and Sai'er are common names. I just want to find a commoner to see the lives of the common people of the Ming Dynasty.

Duan Xuehen seemed not very satisfied with this answer, but she could not say in public that the emperor lied to her, so she had to give up.

Hou Hai's voice said: The emperor cares about the people, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are blessed.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Hou Hai and said: Why did you say that you encountered a robber in the same clan when you were taking the exam? Then Tang Sai'er's father returned to his hometown and immediately exposed it.

Hou Hai bowed embarrassingly: In a hurry, I didn’t expect a good statement for a moment. Please forgive me for your sins.

Forget it, don't worry about this little thing anymore.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Everyone returned to the military camp, and Zhu Gaoxu entered the headquarters of the central army, and let the accompanying civil and military officials disperse.Duan Xuehen and Asari were together these two days, and then they followed him to the house in the Tuyuan.

Asari's voice said: I thought the emperor and the Khan would only care about court wars and major events, or the struggles between large tribes.But His Majesty the Emperor personally visited the villagers and cared about the serfs. I really didn't expect it.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look at her and said: There is no serf system in the Ming Dynasty.What's more, no matter how powerful the empire is, its territory will eventually fall apart. No matter how much gold and silver is stored, it will always disperse. Only those who are born here are real.What we should care about most is the level of civilization of the people of the country.

Asari seemed to be confused and said: Your Majesty does not care whether the military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty are weak?

Greedy and fear of death is human nature. Why should ordinary people not be able to get along with themselves?Zhu Gaoxu said, Besides, the northern tribes are brave and aggressive, but the cavalry has the advantage for the time being, and the day after the curtain call will not be too far away.There will be another judgment on the strength of the country in the future.

He didn't explain it too clearly, and Asari couldn't understand it anyway.

Once industrial civilization begins, it is impossible to talk about martial arts and strengths on the grassland. The brave and enthusiastic herdsmen will also turn their interests to be able to sing and dance.

Zhu Gaoxu stopped talking, but was still thinking about his own affairs in his heart.
