It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the north wind was howling, blew up the snow that had not disappeared on the ground, and blew the trees and pedestrians unrestrainedly.

Jia Kui was wrapped in a cotton robe that Di Qing gave him, and crossed his hands to his brother and sister-in-law: "Although I have been transferred to the Ma Junsi, I am still in Tokyo and can take care of it at all times. But I can't take care of my family all the time in the future, take care of my brother and sister-in-law!"

His elder brother Wu Han and Jia Kui were different from fathers and mothers. However, when Jia Kui was young, he remarried to his house with his mother. He was older and often took care of Jia Kui who was helpless, so he had a deep friendship. His younger brother entrusted his friend's blessing to the Ma Junsi and might have a bright future in the future and be happy for him.

Yiyi said goodbye, Jia Kui bowed his salute and was about to leave. After walking two steps, he turned around and said to his brother who saw him off: "After I go to the Majunsi, my brother must promise me that I will not bet anymore in the future! My sister-in-law has less than a year of childbirth, and my nephew is still young, and the family cannot withstand any troubles. As long as my brother quit gambling, he will be a good family in the future!"

Wu Han patted Jia Kui on the shoulder heavily and said aloud: "Brother, don't worry, I promise you that I will quit gambling from now on! If this is against this, I will be beaten by five thunders, and I will not die well!"

"Brother, why did my brother make such a poisonous oath? Just quit gambling! I'm going!"

After saying that, Jia Kui took a big stance and walked forward in the wind and snow. His military status had been transferred to the Ma Junsi, and from then on, he had been transferred from the Palace Front Office to the Ma Junsi like Di Qing. Although the status of the Yamen was higher than that of the Ma Junsi, the Ma Junsi had his own brothers to help him, and the brothers were appreciated by high officials, and they might be able to break out of their own world.

Seeing his younger brother's back disappearing into the snow, Wu Han said to his wife: "My brother has been extraordinary since childhood, but now he is peaceful and can only be in the imperial guards. If he really gets the opportunity to kill thieves on the frontier and make military contributions, he might be able to win a wife and a cute son, and change his family from then on. At that time, we and my wife can also benefit from it."

Mrs. Wu couldn't think so far, and just said to her husband: "I am a woman, and I don't dare to think about those things. As long as you really tell your uncle, you quit gambling from now on and do your life well, you will be satisfied."

Wu Han patted his chest and whispered to his wife: "I promised my brother, and I will naturally be able to do it. I will never bet again from now on!"

Mrs. Wu was a little unbelievable. This kind of vow that gamblers always had to post to their family several times a month, but it didn't come true once.

After seeing Jia Kui off, he returned to the house and talked for a while. Wu Han stood up and said to his wife: "You go find the rice bags at home. Now the wind is weaker, I will get the rice for this month. This year, the Marquis of Yongning County is the provincial governor of the Sansi. If there is any change, what you get is real money. The rice is the same color and good rice, and it is not as fast as before. It is Chen rice at any time. From now on, we can eat this rice at home, and we don't have to buy it outside."

Mrs. Wu found his pocket and handed it to her husband, saying, "Uncle said that we will collect his rice in the future. You can ask where it is. It is said that they are all distributed in the grain yard, and I don't know if we can collect it together."

"The left and right always publish in the same yamen, but it's just that the text and book are different, so you should be able to receive it together."

While Wu Han said, he held the rice bag under his armpit and left the house.

The sky was gloomy, and the north wind was covered with fine snowflakes and hit the body without any shame. I don’t know if it was snowing in the sky or the snow on the ground. Jia Kui had the new cotton coat given by Di Qing, so he gave Wu Han his cotton coat. Wu Han put all his cotton coats on his body. But he walked in the wind, and the two layers of cotton coats were still blown through, and his body was so cold.

Not long after leaving the military camp, I met a brother in the same camp who had brought Lumi back. When I saw Wu Han, I shouted loudly: "Brother Wu, I see you are also going to get Lumi. When I come back later, I will have a bet together!"

Wu Han whispered loudly: "Don't bet anymore. I promised my brothers and quit gambling from today!"

The man said, "If you quit gambling, what's the point of living? Look at those brothers who don't gamble, no one lives better than us!"

"No more gambling! No more gambling!" Wu Han said, strode forward against the wind. After a while, he threw the visitor behind him and stopped talking to him. For fear that anyone could not help but follow him to the place where he was gambling.

The man shouted loudly to Wu Han's back: "Brother Wu, everyone knows the rules! You bet with us and make sure no one will tell you to your family. If you are addicted to gambling, you should play with your brothers when you are addicted to gambling. Never go to places you don't know! I heard that if you bet with strangers in a vague way, your life will be ruined!"

Wu Han didn't answer, but just walked in the wind and agreed to his brother that he couldn't bet any more.

Before noon, Wu Han rushed to the Grain and Materials Court. Today it was cold and the wind was strong, and there were not many people in the Grain and Materials Court. The public officials who were in charge of sending money and grain gathered together in groups of three or three, talking gossip in the leeward place.

Wu Han was familiar with the family and arrived at the case where the part of the people in the Palace Front Office sent grain. He took out a document from his arms and handed it over to the public official behind the case. He said, "Wu Han, a cavalryman from the Palace Front Office, came to collect grain. Please trouble my brother."

The public official took Wu Han's statement and took out a thick booklet to review it. He closed it casually and said to Wu Han: "Brother, you don't need to receive your Lu Mi. It's cold and freezing, hurry up and go back!"

Wu Han couldn't help but be anxious: "Why don't you receive it?! I'm old and young at home, and I'm waiting to get the food and go back to make some porridge!"

The public official said impatiently: "The three officials are sending grain according to the Imperial Guards's version. Your palace officials have written a text. Some people, including you, will be brought back by the palace officials themselves. If you have any questions, go back to your yamen to ask."

Wu Han was at a loss for a moment. He stood in the cold wind for a while before whispering to the official: "Brother, what text has the office moved in front of the palace? Can you show me a look? He has always been here to collect grain here before, and never made any mistakes."

The public official impatiently took out a book of text, spread it in front of Wu Han, and said, "Do you know the words? So what if you show it to you? Do you see that? Do you see that there is a flower stick of the Confucius Officer in front of your palace here, and your Lumi has been taken away long ago!"

Wu Han looked at the place where the public official pointed, and vaguely recognized it as the seal of the official Confucius in his yamen. Many of the documents that were usually sent to the army had the same mark. Seeing that the public official closed the documents, he closed his sleeves and his neck, and looked like he didn't want to say anything in the wind. Wu Han couldn't help but be at a loss. Why did his brothers stop the money and food as soon as he left?

The imperial guards distributed money and grain through the Grain and Materials Court under the Sansi Department, but the three yamen decided to whom they sent it to, and the Grain and Materials Court only did things according to the list. Suddenly, his money and grain were stopped in the yamen, and there was no sign, and no one told him what it was for. Wu was stunned.

After a while, he said to the official who sent the grain, "Brother, I went to the yamen to ask about this matter myself. But I have another brother, and I also took the grain and rice. He is now from the Ma Junsi, so I don't know where to get it?"

The public official pointed at a short distance: "Ma Junsi is there, come over quickly, don't delay others here!"
