The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

The three of them sat in the kitchen and talked for a long time.

It was not until Lu Tianming said goodbye that Lu Qingqing and Dazhuang also said goodbye to Aunt Zhang.

By the time Lu Tianming and the other two left, the relationship between the two sides had become much closer.

Li Fusheng and Aunt Zhang sent the people out the door and watched them walk away before returning to the house.

Aunt Zhang told Li Fusheng how Daya had rushed out from the dock with a knife. Li Fusheng pondered for a long time and said only one sentence.

"This team is not easy to come by, it's always a good idea for us to make friends with better ones!"

Aunt Zhang also nodded. After all, she had worked in the Sun family for many years and had more experience than ordinary farm wives.

The Sun family fled their ancestral hometown of Lutian, saying they were going to seek refuge with distant relatives in the south.

But even if they successfully settle down, their foundation will not be as solid as in Ashida County.

If the Sun family is not good, then the servants who depend on the Sun family for their livelihood will be even worse.

No one knows what the situation will be like by then.

Now that they have become good friends with Lu Tianming's team, the couple has one more option.

As her thoughts turned, she thought of Dazhuang, and her heart softened again.

But then, he thought of his son who had grown crooked.

Aunt Zhang's good mood disappeared and she felt extremely depressed.

On the way back with Lu Qingqing, Lu Tianming briefly told her the news he had just learned from Li Fusheng.

The situation in the north has changed a lot these days.

Ever since the imperial court sent a large army to attack the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Jing, it has been unstoppable and the entire battlefield has been in a state of crushing victory.

Perhaps because the battle was too easy, the military achievement attracted the attention of the superiors, and many people in the court began to compete for this military achievement.

The various forces in the court had been fighting for a long time, and no one knew how they chose. In the end, they sent a young man from a meritorious family.

That young man had never fought in a war. He was just suppressed by his family before. After reading military books several times, he thought he knew everything.

When he arrived at the front battlefield, he was overwhelmed by the pride of seeing hundreds of thousands of people obeying his orders.

Taking advantage of the advantage he had already gained, he ignored advice and was eager to show off his achievements.

As a result, after several battles, they were defeated by the joint forces of King Qi and King Jing.

The imperial army suffered heavy casualties and retreated thirty miles.

Seeing that they had the upper hand, the King of Qi and the King of Jing were overjoyed and quickly replenished their troops and food supplies.

During the days of truce with the imperial army, rapid attacks were launched on the surrounding areas.

Ashida County is a water transportation hub and is well-known for its wealth.

It is not too far from Prince Jing's fiefdom, which is like a piece of fat meat at the doorstep, so Prince Jing has set his sights on it from the very beginning.

Prince Jing's army chose the shortest route and, adhering to the principle of speed being the essence of war, attacked quickly all the way.

The Sun family only received the news when they reached the county town ahead, and they hurriedly packed up their belongings and left.

At this time, in an elegant cabin on the ship.

Young Master Sun and several of his brothers knelt opposite the head of the Sun family, looking at their father's gloomy face, and did not dare to say a word.

Even the most favored youngest son, Sun Xingrui, lowered his head obediently.

After a long silence in the wing room, the head of the Sun family could no longer suppress his anger and said hatefully:

"What a great Prince Jing! He's received so much tribute from us, yet he wants to come and plunder our Sun family's wealth without even saying a word!"

Young Master Sun saw his father's face flushed with anger and said angrily:

"That's right! Just say I've got a ship as collateral, and how much money we've given as tribute along the way.

When he came back, he was slapped in the face by the man surnamed Liu.

I was wondering how he could be so bold as to not give our master face. It turns out Prince Jing had been thinking about this for a long time!"

The head of the Sun family also thought of this matter, and felt hatred and regret in his heart.

Prince Jing and the Sun family live close to each other, and the relationship between the two sides has always been quite good.

Even though Prince Jing joined the rebellion, the interactions between the two sides remained unchanged.

After the war broke out, Prince Jing sent people to negotiate, promised a lot of benefits, and asked the head of the Sun family in the court to help mediate.

The imperial army had been attacking the Prince of Qi's fiefdom. Although Prince Jing had joined the troops, his fiefdom had not been directly affected by the war.

There is more or less some involvement of the Sun family in this.

The head of the Sun family reacted at this time, and hated himself for not reacting in time and not noticing the signs of Liu!

Now, the place where the Sun family had lived for a hundred years was lost, and I don’t know how the master family will punish him!

After being angry, the head of the Sun family thought of the properties he had given up and felt pain in his heart.

He said to his eldest son who was closest to him:

"Xingjian, how are the sales of those keepsakes going?"

“As soon as my son got the news that afternoon, he quickly sent someone to inform the wealthy families in Ashida County.

Before leaving the city, less than 10% of the tokens in his hand were left.

The tokens of gratitude you requested were delivered to the families you requested early on.

The steward just reported that those families have already boarded the ship."

When the head of the Sun family heard this, his frown relaxed a little.

"Xingjian, you did a good job.

Today, our Sun family has left our hometown and is no longer the same as before.

This time, I can get as much as I can from escaping, which can offset some of the losses.

You guys, you should be more prudent in your actions from now on and learn from your big brother!"

.

After Lu Tianming returned, he told everyone the boat fare that Li Fusheng had mentioned.

In addition, he also proposed to collect a portion of the silver money separately for him and Hu Laosan as a thank you for saving their lives.

Although everyone in the team felt a little reluctant to spend the money, most of them were willing to give it.

The few households that were unwilling to give had to do so reluctantly due to Lu Tianming's long-standing prestige in the team.

Old Man Lu and Boss Lu in the team had no savings, so they coaxed Old Third Lu to give them some.

When Sun Cui learned that the boss had given money to the two of them again, she was so angry that her stomach ached.

Unfortunately, Third Lu was being praised highly by Old Man Lu and Old Big Brother Lu, and was so proud of himself that he didn't notice that Sun Cui was angry at all.

After collecting all the silver, Lu Tianming divided the money into three parts before going to find Li Fusheng.

When Li Fusheng learned that he had given him a separate thank-you gift, he was surprised at first, and then politely declined.

After some pleasantries, Li Fusheng accepted the thank-you gift and took Lu Tianming to find Hu Laosan.

Hu Laosan was still directing the ship's movement, and asked them to sit on the side and wait.

Fearing danger if they got too close to Ashida Prefecture, the ship ventured south at night.

But sailing at night is not safe, and they are not very familiar with the waters to the south.

After sailing for more than half an hour, the ship stopped at the shore.

After Hu Laosan finished his work, the two followed him back to the house.

After Lu Tianming paid the boat fare to Hu Laosan, he also gave out the thank-you gifts separately.
