Chapter 298 Chaozhou Jinyiwei

The typhoon only passed by the Shantou waters and did not land in Shantou, so the wind came and went quickly. The next morning, although the rain was still falling, the wind had stopped and the fleet could go out to sea in the afternoon of that day.

"Miss Yiyun, I'm going to leave this afternoon. Let's go, take us to your house in the morning and say goodbye to your parents." After Zhao Peng got up, he called out to Eyun, who was busy.

Yiyun quickly knelt on the ground and thanked Zhao Peng repeatedly: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Zhao Peng brought Wang Quan, Chen Xinyuan and twenty Jinyiweis, and asked Yiyun to lead the way. A large group of Jinyiweis walked towards Yiyun's home in a mighty manner.

Yiyun's parents' home lived outside Pengzhou Acropolis like the homes of other military households. When you walked into the village, you saw a row of dilapidated houses with low and dilapidated mud bricks and thatched roofs. Looking around, there was no decent house.

The military households saw Eyun walking into their village with a group of "high officials". Their eyes were very complicated, some were jealous, some were afraid, and more were confused.

People lowered their voices and talked: "Isn't this the daughter of the Peng family? I heard that I have become a maid for Mr. Zhang's family, why are you with these officials again?"

"That's right, it's strange."

"What kind of official is this? Why have you never seen such an official uniform?"

"Yes, it's so strange. They are wearing official uniforms and wearing black hats, but they don't have hat wings. What kind of official is this?"

"A person without hat wings is definitely a poor little official." A young military householder said.

An old military householder in his forties next to him said, "No, the censor who often comes to Chaozhou Prefecture has no hat wings. However, when Master Yi saw him, he seemed like a mouse saw a cat! The censor was not big, but the county magistrate was better than the current officials. The censor was just a special person in charge of those officials."

At this time, an old military clerk with white hair came out and when he saw Zhao Peng and the others, he screamed: "Enge Yiwei! It's Embroider Yiwei!"

"Embroidered Uniform Guard? Isn't that harming the people?"

"Nonsense! When did the Jinyiwei harm our military household?" the old military household retorted, "Jinyiwei, that is the emperor's personal army. They are great celebrities who guard the emperor's side. Most of us ordinary people have never seen Jinyiwei once in our lives. How can they harm us?"

The military households around them didn't know what to say for a moment. Indeed, this was the first time in their lives that they had seen the Master of the Jinyiwei. When did they see the Jinyiwei before?

"How could the daughter of the Peng family be with these Jinyiwei? I'm afraid Mr. Zhang gave this girl to Jinyiwei to curry favor with Jinyiwei?"

"Maybe some Jinyiwei took a fancy to this little girl. This little girl looks so handsome."

In fact, Eyun's appearance can only be considered medium-sized, but most of these military families' daughters are not good-looking. Many girls have been playing on the beach since they were young, fishing on the beach, and helping their families make salt. The girls have dark and rough skin. They often get married and have children. When they reach the age of eighteen or nineteen, they look like middle-aged women in their thirties. Life is not easy and they torture the daughters of military families. In this environment, there is absolutely no beauty to the daughters of poor families.

Although the maids of wealthy families were from poor families, they were sold to wealthy families since childhood. At least they had no worries about food and clothing, and did not have to be exposed to the wind and sun. Naturally, they became much better-looking than the daughters of ordinary farmers.

Yiyun took Zhao Peng and the others to a low, dilapidated hut with air leakage on all sides and stopped. She pointed to the broken hut and said timidly to Zhao Peng: "Master, I'm here, it's here."

Hearing the movement outside, the military household Mr. Peng and his wife walked out of the broken hut with their five-year-old son. They saw that they were their daughter standing at the door, followed by a large group of "high officials". The head of the official was wearing a noble purple official robe, a wingless black gauze hat, and a valuable jade-inlaid belt hanging around their waists. They were either rich or noble.

Lao Peng quickly knelt down. When he knelt down, he also made his wife and son expensive: "Caomins meet the master!"

Zhao Peng gave Yiyun a wink, Yiyun walked forward knowingly and helped her parents up: "Dad, mother, this is the loyal and brave master from Nanjing. My daughter has given them the Jinyiwei to Nanjing from now on. Dad, mother, get up quickly, the Marquis said that they will be their own family in the future."

"Marquis?" This name scared the old Peng and his wife. What kind of existence are the kings, princes, generals, and ministers that I often hear in the plays? They are simply far away in the sky. I didn't expect that my daughter would follow the marquis in the future, which made Old Peng feel ecstatic.

What surprised Lao Peng even more was behind me. Zhao Peng said: "I will set up a hundred-household office of Jinyiwei in Chaozhou Prefecture. Lao Peng, in the future, you will be the General Banner of Jinyiwei in Pengzhou!"

"Thank you, Marquis! Thank you, Marquis!" Old Peng hurriedly kowtowed and thanked.

Zhao Peng turned his head and shouted, "Xinyuan, take a new set of flying fish suits and wingless black hats for Mr. Peng to wear!"

Chen Xinyuan said "No", and jogged back to the Jinyiwei camp, went to get a set of wingless black gauze hat and flying fish suit, and took another embroidered spring knife, a pair of soap boots, and a belt.

Seeing a new clothes brought to him by a little Jinyiwei, Lao Peng knelt down and thanked him repeatedly. After taking the clothes and put them on, he was stopped by his wife: "Lao Peng, don't you take a shower first? Your smelly sweat makes the official uniform smell smelly!"

Old Peng smiled awkwardly, trying to take a shower with his clothes to the small pond behind the village, but his wife called out: "Before the marquis is leaving, you left such a large group of people and ran to take a shower by yourself? Is this true?"

Zhao Peng stood at the door and turned to the Jinyiwei General Banner named Liu Tiedan and said, "Tiedan, I will promote you to be a Jinyiwei and try a hundred households. I will temporarily take the post of Chaozhou Jinyiwei and a hundred households. After the Chaozhou Jinyiwei and the 100 households are completed and the new Jinyiwei and 100 households are cultivated, you can go back to Nanjing to officially serve as the Jinyiwei and 100 households."

"Thank you, Marquis!" Liu Tiedan knelt down and thanked.

Zhao Peng raised his head and looked at the broken thatched hut on all sides of the old Peng family, and couldn't help frowning.

Seeing Zhongyonghou frowned, Lao Peng smiled awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "Marquis, the house in Beizhi is dilapidated and dirty, and I really don't dare to invite the Marquis into the house and sit down."

Zhao Peng said, "I am going to rush forward. Today I took Yiyun to say goodbye to the two. This house is really dilapidated. Let's do this. I will give you 100 taels of silver. You can also renovate the house and build a few new large tiled houses. The rest will be left for family expenses. You can also receive a seventh-grade salary of ten taels of silver from the hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei of Chaozhou every month, equivalent to seven stones of rice."

"Thank you, Marquis! Thank you, Marquis!" After getting the surprise again, Lao Peng knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhao Peng turned to Chen Xinyuan again and said, "Go back and ask the brothers to prepare lunch and prepare a banquet for the new Jinyiwei Chief Banner Lao Peng."

After a while, in Zhao Peng's own Jinyiwei camp, the fire-headed soldiers began to get busy, killing pigs and chickens, and some people bought fish and shrimp from the fishermen around and began to prepare lunch.

Zhao Peng invited Lao Peng's family to sit in his Jinyiwei camp for a while. Lao Peng said, "Mr. Marquis, please go to take a shower and change clothes first."

"Okay, then you go quickly." Zhao Peng said with a smile.

Lao Peng took his new underwear to the pool behind him, took a shower, then went home to change into the clothes of the Jinyiwei, put on the black wingless hat, the green flying fish suit, the belt, and the soap boots. An honest middle-aged military household suddenly turned into a majestic Jinyiwei general flag.

Wearing a brand new Jinyiwei uniform and walking on the road in the village with his wife and son, the military households he met on the road all threw envious and jealous eyes at Lao Peng.

"Oh, Lao Peng gave birth to a good daughter and was attracted by the master of the Jinyiwei. What a good luck."
