Chapter 112 The endless stream

?On the official road in the north of Xiyang City, more than ten four-** carriages were slowly traveling south in turn. The first snow after winter dyed the earth with mottled white. The north wind whistled, blowing the curtains on the carriage all over the place.

"My grandma, there is a city ahead. It seems that she is preparing to arrive in Xiyang City." A young man said. The middle-aged woman next to him nodded when she heard this, and the other people sitting in the car were also happy.

"I finally arrived. I took the bus from Anlu, and my old bones were almost falling apart." An old woman rubbed her waist and said, a middle-aged man next to me smiled when he heard this:

"Auntie, this is a four-wheeled carriage, which is only affordable by the wealthy families in the city. We have enjoyed our lives all the way."

"Who said no, it's all four-wheeled carriages that can only be seen in the city. Think about it, it's two more wheels than the usual carriage, so how much more it costs."

"Old Cai from my village bought a four-wheeled carriage and came back to transport goods. As a result, he ran on the dirt road for less than a month and it broke here and there. Only the wealthy families in the city can run on the official road."

The people in the carriage had a warm conversation, while a young lady listened quietly. She was thin and wearing a little worn out. She was holding a baby wrapped in a swaddling clothes in her arms, and a large package leaned against her feet.

She lifted the curtain and glanced outside and stopped talking. She struggled for a while but still plucked up the courage to ask the middle-aged woman with the boy, "Auntie, I'll get off the car later. Then... how do you find your family?"

"I said to Mrs. Liu, you don't have to worry about this. The carriage we were sitting in, and the more than ten cars in front and behind were all sent by the army to pick up the military's family. They were arranged along the way and were pleased with a hundred thoughts." The middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"But... I saw the carriage turning to the side, as if it wasn't going to enter the city." The young lady whispered. The middle-aged man opened the curtains and looked at it when he heard this, and said with a smile that he was going east. Isn't the military camp just east?

"My Dalang asked someone to come back after a while and said that their military camp was just outside Chendong, and then he divided the houses in Ba. That city was still on the east side of the military camp." The middle-aged woman comforted the young lady.

"It's right, what are you doing when you enter the city? They don't live in the city. What we are going to is Ba... In Hecheng, if the carriage enters Xiyang City, it will be a big trouble."

"Didn't the general who led the team say that they know that we are here today, maybe we are already waiting."

The atmosphere in the carriage was very lively, and everyone said a few words from time to time. They and the rest of the carriage were the families of the soldiers of the Hulin Army. Specifically, most of them were the families of the soldiers who had land.

Their husband, son, or brothers have recently been divided into land and houses, and it is just when their families need to settle in the arable land. Although it is all wasteland, having their own land is something that everyone dreams of.

But the question then came: how to go to Xiyang City in Bazhou. Many people have never been to Zhoucheng, and they have not even gone out in their hometowns. It is not easy to go out these days, especially for a long trip.

It doesn't matter if you walk and sleep in the open, but you're afraid you're lost or you're meeting a thief halfway through. If you hire a car or a boat, it's not appropriate. The unscrupulous coachman and boatman may even murder and seize money at any time.

Although there is no money, I lost my life for a few 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 1

So those who have to go far are either to have a companion with their fellow villagers or villages, or to have a clan member. What they want is to have a care on the road. If you meet a thief halfway, you will be honestly handed over the valuable things you have to spend money to eliminate disasters.

If there are wives, sisters, or female relatives, you can only blame yourself for your fate when you encounter this kind of situation. You are kidnapped and only want to survive. As for whether you can meet your family alive, I don’t know.

In view of this, the people are exempted from traveling far away, which is no exception to the families of Hulin Army soldiers. Those who are close to Bazhou gritted their teeth and came over. The hearts far away from Anzhou were pounding: The fields are good, but you have to be able to live to Bazhou!

However, their concerns soon dissipated. The Hulin Army sent a carriage to pick up people at the address. Of course, in order to avoid someone taking the opportunity to kidnap people by impersonation, the carriages that picked up people were brought to their homes by local officials.

With the yamen as a guarantee, everyone dared to set off with peace of mind, come from the countryside to the city, and join the other family members along the way, following the convoy to Bazhou in a vast way. They didn't have to spend a penny to stay in the inn along the way, and they were full and warm. They were also very at ease with cavalry guards.

With proper care along the way, the families who had almost never traveled far away were relieved. The people in the same car began to chat with each other. After all, everyone had to be neighbors when they arrived in Bazhou, so it was fine to get familiar with each other in advance.

They are all poor families, husbands, sons, and relatives in the family come to join the army without enough food. They thought that this meal that would only require life to eat, not only can they eat enough, but they can also share the land. Everyone is full of expectations for the life of the coming year.

It’s not enough to have land alone, you need tools to open up land and seeds. However, their relatives have sent messages, and the army has prepared these things and can rent them without paying them. It can be returned with the harvest during the autumn harvest.

There was such a good thing, and someone came to pick it up specifically, so the family members did not hesitate anymore. Even the young lady mustered up the courage to carry the child on the way, and she didn't need to bring any large luggage, because Bazhou had already arranged it.

The house has pots, pans, quilts, and so on. As long as people arrive, they can live in it and cultivate land after the New Year. It is said that those wastelands are protected by river embankments and ditches to divert water to irrigate. As long as they are willing to work hard, they will definitely have a good harvest in autumn.

There were shouts outside the carriage, and the sound was neat and uniform. Someone lifted up the curtain and saw that the carriage he was in was passing by a military camp. The barracks covered a large area, and there were trenches outside the brick walls. There were also many brick buildings in the camp, with soldiers watching them.

"It's a military camp, this is the Hulin Army's military camp." The young man exclaimed. Everyone leaned over and looked out the window. They were all amazed at the scale of the military camp with flags. Someone shouted from the other side, but they saw a big river.

No, it is a big river, almost boundless river. Except for those who grow by the river, no one else has ever seen such a wide river.

"This...it's wider than the lake in our countryside!" someone exclaimed.

"It's so strange, right? This big river is the Yangtze River. It is said that it flows from Shu, thousands of miles away to the west, and then it will flow thousands of miles eastward to Jiankang, capital of Chen."

"So long!"

"Of course, why is it called the Yangtze River?"

The carriage continued to walk, and I don’t know how long it took to speak. The carriage slowly stopped, and only heard the loud shouting "arrival" outside. Everyone was happy when they heard this. After the curtain was opened, they saw figures outside.

After getting off the carriage, I saw a circle of men around me. Everyone was wearing black military uniforms, and everyone looked at themselves with anxiety. Many people just glanced at them and found the familiar face in the crowd.

"Dalang!!"

"Brother!"

"A Niu!"

"My mother!"

The shouts of joy sounded from time to time, and the soldiers who had been looking forward to it for a long time saw their relatives in the cold wind. The young lady who had been worried that she would not be able to find her husband also recognized her husband, hugged her son and cried with joy.

"Be careful, be careful!" A general clapped his hands and shouted loudly to everyone to cross the river quickly. "The wind is strong by the river, and the steps cannot stop much wind, so don't freeze!"

"I cried, all of them, headed towards Bahe City!!!"

"Be careful when crossing the floating bridge and help the old man walk slowly!!"

"Don't just stand and help get things!!"

......

In Bahe City, many yards were laughing and laughing, but Chen Midou looked solemn as if he was facing a great enemy. The Hulin Army's close combat expert who usually killed people without blinking was now at a loss by the person in front of him.

"General Chen!! That girl is a famous handsome lady!" A woman with heavy makeup was spitting in front of him, holding a handkerchief in her hand and swaying around, chatting a lot without gasping. Her voice was so loud that Chen Midou's ears were deaf.

‘The fly, there is a loud fleeing in his ears.’ Chen Midou thought so in his heart, and forced the urge to draw his sword to chop people, as stiff as if he was disobedient. It’s because he didn’t dare to let this woman get out, but he really couldn’t make a decision.

Because his mother is here, it's not his turn to speak.

"Auntie, don't worry, you one hundred. I, Jia Si Niang, are a well-known matchmaker from all over the world. There are more than twenty marriages to be with each other!" The woman turned to an old woman and continued, "Everyone is having a happy life!"

"Don't worry about me lying. The matchmaker list in the prefecture yamen is recorded in the name of the big name, otherwise I wouldn't dare to disturb you, right?"

"Don't worry, that girl's family is full of honest people, her brother has already started a family, and she has no virtue of sucking bones and marrow!"

"The old couple are easy to talk to, and they have fields at home. They don't know how to eat and drink, nor do they ask for brides for random gifts!"

"That girl is strong and can do any farm work. She has a good temper. When she enters the house, she will definitely be filial to you!"

"You have a big butt and are easy to raise. If you pass the door this year, you will definitely be able to hold your grandson next year!!"

Jia Siniang persuaded her with great thought that she was a famous matchmaker in Bazhou. Now that Xiyang County has granted land to open up land, many families have divided the land, which is a good opportunity for their matchmaker to show their skills.

With land at home, you will have the intention to win the wife. With land, those who worry about their daughter's marriage also have goals. So when the matchmaker needs to match it, the business begins to flourish and people come to the door.

Many families have found Jia Siniang and asked her to help find a good husband's house. Like other matchmakers, Jia Siniang has set her eyes on the Hulin Army soldiers who are so popular recently.

The Han soldiers fought with each other were well paid and treated well. They fought many wars over the past six months and received many rewards with their military merits. Now they have divided a lot of land. Although they are wasteland, they are protected by river embankments and are not afraid of the crops they planted. The key is that they are all from poor families, and most of them have not gotten married before.

Especially those who are all the masters of the city and military masters are basically bachelors. For example, General Chen in front of him looks upright and tough. More importantly, he is divided into mature fields in Bahe City, houses and a lot of money and food. He is a rare man.

Jia Siniang knew that this kind of fighting man was not easy to talk to. If the envoy Yuwen had not been interested in getting married, they would not dare to come to the door to fight. It was thanks to the state yamen that they would never have any worries about their lives. They entered Bahe City to talk about the matchmakers in a row.

She had done her homework long ago and knew that General Chen had no wife. Although she was stern all day long, she also found out that he had an old lady. So today, when she heard that his old mother arrived in Bahe City, Jia Siniang rushed to the door to talk to the matchmaker like a gust of wind. She thought that her son would definitely listen to her mother, but when she entered the door, she knew that the opportunity had come.

General Chen was timid in front of his mother, just like a mouse who saw that the cat was indeed a filial son, so Jia Siniang, who had rich experience, knew that as long as she convinced the old man, the marriage would be done.

He had to convince immediately, otherwise other matchmakers would have to do something bad when they came to the house. Jia Si Niang made up her mind to use what she had learned throughout her life and must decide on the marriage. As expected, after all the talk, the old man let it go.

"Mi Dou, Wei Niang thinks this girl is good, what do you think?"

Chen Midou was crying when he heard it aside. After he passed the army, he only knew how to practice hard, and after he went into battle, he only knew how to fight the enemy. He had no time to think about any girl. Of course, they would not have the chance to think about the girl.

So for Chen Midou, this marriage is nothing. He has never met before. It is all because of the sensation of the matchmaker. Of course, there are also those unconscientious deceptions. However, the military has reviewed the matchmaker who came to talk about the matchmaker, and the matchmaker who is well-reputed in front of him.

But he felt that he was too anxious. He had a land and a house and would not worry about not being able to find a good girl whom he wanted to marry. If he hurriedly agreed to the marriage, what would he do if the marriage was not suitable for the marriage?

"Rice dou?"

Chen Midou, who was distracted, was shocked when his mother asked. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you waiting for it?"

"Oh, General Chen! If you wait any longer, the girl will be hooked by another family!!"

"Then..." Chen Midou felt that his tongue was knotted. He really didn't know what to do. He heard from the matchmaker that the girl should be good. The key is that she can work and respect the elderly. This is the most important thing.

He can endure hardships, but his mother has to be taken care of and someone has to be taken care of. If he marryes a lazy and snobbish woman, how can he be worthy of his mother's years of raising her?

"Mi Dou, I see, this marriage will be decided like this?"

"Ah...oh..." Chen Midou responded, and Jia Siniang narrowed her eyes when she heard the words: "Oh, the old man has a good vision. I'll go and talk to the girl's house now!!"
