Chapter 13 Cousin
As for the military pay of the officers and soldiers, the Ministry of Revenue never defaulted for a day, especially military rations, winter clothes, and weapons. Mr. Chu Ge personally dispatched people to deliver them to the border as scheduled every year.
Don’t skimp on anything.
Because the materials were delivered in time and sufficient, the soldiers were well taken care of. In the past few years, the border war reports have been more victories than defeats, and the mortality rate is not as high as before.
And all of this was thanks to Mr. Chu Ge’s supervision.
In recent years, when the soldiers mentioned Mr. Chu Ge, they all gave a thumbs up and respected him as their own father.
Also, there was a severe drought in Jiangbei the year before last and the crops failed. It was Mr. Chuge who got the news and took the lead in proposing disaster relief to the emperor. He opened warehouses to provide food and money to the people early. Because they were rescued in time, the people did not starve to death. .
"Speaking of Mr. Chu Ge, not only did the common people respect him, but even the emperor treated him with special respect and respect. When Mr. Chu Ge left, there was a lot of mourning in the capital. Those who were named after him As soon as the disciples learned the news, they came to the door and rushed to help Mr. Chu Ge’s coffin.”
"Once a teacher, always a father. It makes sense for the old Chuge family to have no successor, so it is up to the disciples to carry the coffin."
……
In Xia Zihan's ears, a group of people whispered.
She lowered her eyes and bit her lip to remain silent.
In her previous life, she was late in understanding and was confused about everything.
At that time, when Nuanyu heard about this incident and told it to her as a good thing, she thought that the disciples under her grandfather's name were showing kindness to the Chu family and wanted to give money to her because they felt pity for her grandfather's lack of children. Grandfather holds the coffin.
Now, she wouldn't think so innocently and superficially.
Carrying the coffin is something only sons and grandsons can do.
My grandfather had a good reputation and was loved by everyone. He left a large shadow in the court hall. Whoever can support his coffin will be able to enjoy the shade under the shadow in the future.
In the future, his official career in the court will also be green.
With such a huge piece of pie right there, who would be stupid not to grab it? "Auntie, you haven't eaten anything all day. You can go to the Nuan Pavilion to have a rest. My mother asked the maid to cook two bowls of shredded chicken and mushroom noodles and bring them over."
Just when Xia Zihan was deep in thought, a childish voice came out that made her hate it.
She couldn't control herself all of a sudden, and hatred followed her gaze and shot out.
When he came into contact with a pair of clear and compassionate eyes, Xia Zihan lowered his head subconsciously.
What happened in the past life has not happened in this life.
Song Huai is only ten years old now, and he is still a child who does not care about the world.
Moreover, his grandfather passed away and there was no heir to the Chu family. Song Huai's father, Song Baiqing, took care of his grandfather's funeral.
Song Baiqing was the son of her grandmother's sister and the eldest son of the Anyang Marquis Mansion. Her grandfather was called uncle and he was also the only direct relative of the Chu family in the capital.
It was only natural that he should arrange the funeral for the Chu family.
With this level of kinship between the Chu family and Anyang Houfu, while she was still unable to turn her life around, she could not offend Anyang Houfu or Song Huai.
She must keep the grudges from her past life deep in her heart before she takes flight.
Xia Zihan clenched her fists, and when she looked up again, there was no hatred on her face except for a trace of sadness.
She looked at Song Huai and called softly, "Cousin Huai."
Although Xia Zihan's hatred disappeared in a flash, Song Huai still noticed it.
