Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 26
Five days later, they went around and finally found a county seat.
Qi You drove the carriage closer, but made trouble at the gate of the city.
“You’er, what’s the matter?” Father Qi asked when he noticed that the carriage stopped and raised his head with the curtain of the car.
Without saying a word, Qi You stretched out his finger and pointed forward.
Father Qi looked in the direction of his fingers, oh, why are there so many people!
It was the first time Qi’s father had seen so many people in the past two years since the natural disasters came.
I saw a torrent of torrents at the gate of the city. The officials desperately tried to drive people out, and the chaotic people outside the city desperately wanted to enter the city.
The two sides refused to give in, but the stalemate would come down.
Qi You’s eyes rolled and turned back to Father Qi: “Father, wait for me here first. I’ll go over and inquire about the situation.”
Father Qi: “Well, be careful.”
Qi You: “I know.”
He squeezed the broken silver in his palm, and got into the crowd.
“Let us go in. Your Royal Highness has already spoken to allow us to enter the city. Why don’t you corrupt officials let us enter the city?”
“Open the gate, open the gate.”
“His Royal Highness Jinkou Yuyan, don’t you want to resist the decree?”
“Let’s go in, you corrupt officials, you were the common people during the Taiping period. Now the drought has come, and it is a disaster. Wait. Your Royal Highness has taken care of the wicked people in Linhuai County, you corrupt officials in Yishui County. The dirty officials can’t get away.”
“Yes, let’s look at it, the truth is clear, careless and not omission.”
“Now that you open the gates of the city, there is still a glimmer of life. Don’t be stubborn again.”
“Open the gate, open the gate…”
The people are excited, and Qi You discovered the problem almost instantaneously. Someone in the crowd is fanning the flames and inciting the people to chaos.
Qi You silently retracted the silver in his hand, then exited the crowd, rolled on the spot, scratched his hair, and soiled his clothes.
He rushed into the crowd again, walking around, shouting loudly, “Open the city gate, open the city gate…”
At the same time, he squeezed to the front, exerting force, and the gate that was supposed to be closed gradually opened.
Qi You tried to eat milk, bruises on his forehead violently, and the wound on his hand began to ooze blood again, but he didn’t feel any pain. He clenched his teeth and yelled, “Give—I—open. —”
“The city gate is open, the city gate is open, everyone, work harder, you will be able to open the city gate today.”
“Everyone rush!!”
“what–“
In the horrified sight of the officials, the gate of the city opened wide, Qi You squeezed other people away with brute force for the first time, ran out of the crowd, and then said to Father Qi in the carriage and the others: “Father, come down, we Going to town.”
Qi’s father and the others’ movements are not unfavorable. Qi You carried Qi’s father on his back, wrapped the small pillar with clothes on his chest, and wanted to take Qi’s mother and Lin Miao’er away with his feet.
After walking two steps, Qi You stopped, “No, your clothes are too new, you must get dirty, hurry up.”
Both Qi Mu and Lin Miao’er couldn’t bear such good clothes.
“Hurry up, things shouldn’t be too late.” Qi You urged.
Lin Miao’er was cruel and slapped twice on the spot, her hair was messed up again, and her face was smeared dirty.
Qi You was satisfied, and looked at Lin Miao’er with teachable eyes.
Qi You: “Well, let’s follow the chaotic people into the city.”
The child suddenly looked up and asked him, “Brother-in-law, where is the carriage?”
“No more.” Qi You replied decisively, and then tore off the horse’s rein, patted the horse’s ass, and the horse was frightened. With a neigh, the horse stomped and ran away.
“Okay, let’s go.”
…
When it got dark, Qi You changed the only remaining set of clothes and found an inn to stay.
Now that he has entered the city, there is no need to walk as a chaotic citizen.
He doesn’t need money, so he doesn’t need it in vain.
Qi You ordered two upper rooms, one for his father and his mother, and one for him and Lin’s sister and brother. It’s not that Qi You was frantically thinking about what to do to the thin Miao’er. The main reason was that the small pillars stuck to him tightly. The current situation is not very peaceful, so for the sake of everyone’s safety, he stayed with Miao’er.
Qi You himself is very awkward, but everyone else takes it for granted.
After all, he and Miao Er are unmarried couples. Now it’s the time of fleeing again, so there is no need for too much life.
Qi You spent two taels of silver and ordered five buckets of hot water to come up.
No way, Yishui County is close to Linhuai County. Although it will not suffer from a large-scale drought like Linhuai County, there is also a severe shortage of water, and the water price will naturally rise steadily.
Everyone shared a bucket of hot water and scrubbed their bodies well. When it was the turn of the small pillar, Qi You fished it with one hand and lifted the person into his arms. The child was surprised at first, and then lay in Qi You’s arms, giggles. Laughing joy.
“Brother-in-law, will you fly again? The small pillar still wants to fly.”
“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law”
Qi You patted his little ass, with a smile in his voice, “Let’s take a shower first, then take a shower and then fly.”
“Okay.” The child exclaimed happily, “Brother-in-law, shall we wash it together.”
Qi You nodded and teased him deliberately, “You will rub your brother-in-law’s back at that time.”
The child nodded fiercely, “Well, brother-in-law, Xiaozhu will rub your back for you.”
“Brother-in-law can remember it.” Qi You stripped the child naked in threes and then went to untie his clothes, stretched his legs, and sat in the bathtub.
The bucket was still a little high, and Qi You was afraid of flooding people, so he let the child sit on him, holding a bath towel in his hand, controlling his strength, and scrubbing the child clean.
The speed was so fast that before the small pillar could react, he was washed clean and placed on the ground.
Qi You picked up two bath towels, opened the bow left and right, and wiped his body clean as quickly as possible. He was strong, and after a short time, his body was red, and his injured arm began to bleed faintly.
Qi You hurriedly jumped out of the bath tub, then changed to another bucket, shaking himself and the child in the clear water several times as if washing vegetables.
Okay, I’m completely clean.
Putting on the clothes, Qi You put the child on the bed and touched his face, “Go to sleep when you are sleepy.”
Little by little, the child couldn’t help but fall asleep when he heard this.
Qi You turned around and poured the dirty water. The remaining bucket was not too dirty, so he planned to keep it. It would be good to wash his feet or something in the future.
He cleaned up the room again, opened the door and went out, knocked on a door next to it, “Miao’er, I’m all right. I’m going to buy something downstairs now. Come and take a look at the small pillar.”
“Okay, come here.” Miao Er blushed slightly in Qi’s mother’s witty eyes, trotting to open the door, and just ran into Qi You at the door.
“what-“
Miao’er screamed, leaning back, grasping in the air with both hands in vain, without pulling anything.
This is shameful. She thought frustratedly.
Qi You didn’t expect this kind of accident to happen either. He stepped forward, peeked with his long arms, wrapped the girl’s waist, and moved into his arms.
The slight “pop” sound is not known whether it is caused by physical contact or the excessively fast heartbeat of the two.
Qi You was stunned, looking at him with a pair of clear eyes, staring at him round and round, and looking closely, there was his reflection inside.
It was the first time for Qi You to see Miao’er’s face so clearly. A very delicate girl, with a pointed chin, a small face with big palms, and especially a pair of eyes that were very colorful, as if they were full of autumn water.
At last he looked a bit as he should be at this age, Qi You felt a little proud. Because he cultivated people like they are now.
Qi You straightened the person up, tolerated, touched the top of the little girl’s head, and asked, “Isn’t it touched anywhere?”
Miao’er shook his head and whispered: “No.”
“Nothing is fine. I’ll go downstairs first.” He said and turned away.
Miao’er watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, and blankly stretched out his hand to touch the top of his head, a little bit happy and a little bit disappointed.
I am delighted that he is close to me, and lost that he is so good, can I really be worthy of him?
Qi You went downstairs and ordered some food. While waiting halfway, he started talking with Xiao Er.
“Little brother, today I saw many people around the city gate, do you know what happened?” He spoke Mandarin, which was close to the Mandarin of this era, and Xiao Er didn’t think much.
“You said that.” Xiao Er put the rag on his shoulder, looking angrily, “Those people outside the city are all refugees from Linhuai County.”
“Refugee?” Qi You pretended to be surprised, “How is it possible? Linhuai County has been in drought for two years.”
“Hey, the guest officer joked, there are still three thousand nails in the broken ship. This Linhuai County has been drought for two years, but the lives of those people are stubborn, and how easy is it to die.” I look down on the refugees very much. .
Qi You endured his discomfort, and gave people two taels of silver, “Then what did I hear from them? Which one is your Highness?”
Xiao Er received the cash, with a smile on his face, “Of course it’s the prince, otherwise who else?”
Qi You: “His Royal Highness?”
“Exactly.” Xiao Er also got a little interest, and said with great interest: “Unfortunately, this highness is too kind.”
Qi You took the opportunity to hand over: “How do you say this?”
Second: “After His Royal Highness arrived in Linhuai County, he not only killed a large number of corrupt officials in the county, but also sent people to send food to help the disaster. It was a great joy to come here. But, hey…”
Qi You knowingly gave another two taels of silver.
Xiao Er’s eyebrows opened and smiled, “In fact, it’s nothing. It’s not a long time since many people from Linhuai County came to Yishui County. At that time, where there were so many people in Yishui County, the city gate was closed tightly. No one was allowed to come in. Now, His Royal Highness has spoken, and the counties are not allowed to close the gates, and they will be appeased if necessary.”
“If anyone is willing to settle in the counties under the jurisdiction of Yishui County, the government is not allowed to stop it.”
When Qi You heard this, his heart moved slightly.
It just so happened that at this time, his food was also ready, he didn’t bother Xiao Er, he took the food upstairs by himself.
As soon as he entered the door, he couldn’t help but happily said: “Father, mother, I have good news to tell you.”
Father Qi was also dyed with a little smile, “What is it that makes you happy like this.”
Qi You put down the food, lowered his voice and couldn’t conceal his joy, “We can settle down again, as long as we settle down, we will not be chaotic people in the future.”
