Chapter 8: Near, Far

The red egg reported the good news, Jiao's gave birth to a boy, the Li family was busy making red eggs and sending them to Jiao's mother's family, the mother's family accepted the red eggs and doubled them back, and the Li family sent these red eggs out, the male is single, the female is double, just a red egg, it is widely advertised to relatives and friends and neighbors, and the Li family has an extra man.

Separated by a wall, Zhao Yanheng turned the egg around, and it had been turned for an hour, but he didn't say a word during the period, but an eighteen-year-old man, playing with an egg for an hour, the silent and lonely back, no matter how you look at it, is a little pitiful.

Compared with the bustle of welcoming guests across the wall, Dong Rang hugged his master and said: "For the quiet that the family requires, the master stopped work for half a day, and in the past two days, he has doubled the salary, and asked the hired workers to work fast and move lightly, and it took a lot of money, especially this thoughtful heart, and an egg was sent away." ”

Zhao Yanheng sighed heavily, echoing Dong Rang's complaints. Today is still the third baptism of the Li family's brother, and the Li family just gave Zhao Yanheng a happy egg, and did not invite him to participate in the child's baptism.

Cheng Anguo happened to come back from watching the guests of the Li family from outside, and he couldn't see that the dead eunuch followed Zhao Yanheng unprincipledly, and said to him: "The Li family has invited very few relatives and friends, and each has a friendship with the Li family for several years, and it is natural that it will not be the turn of the master." ”

Dong Rang was about to fight back, Zhao Yanheng raised his eyebrows, and motioned to Cheng Anguo to say the news outside, how alert the people of the Li family are, and they want to get close to the Li family to moisten things silently.

Cheng Anguo said: "The first one is Jiao's mother's family, and Jiao's daughter-in-law is here. The Jiao family is the family of the wang family in Anning Prefecture, and the father of the Jiao family was a two-list jinshi in the thirteenth year of Yuan You, and later returned to his hometown after less than two years as an official. Jiao's brother is already a lifter, and he failed to enter the Beijing scientific examination last year. Coming from behind were Lin Yi, the official of the Dongcheng City Gate, the wife of the curator of Wenlan Pavilion, the wife of the Song family, and Lu Yinglin of the guard......"

Cheng Anguo knew which person was Zhao Yanheng's breaking point, so he put it in the last one and said, and sure enough, Zhao Yanheng burst out and said: "Why did you invite him!"

Cheng Anguo had no choice but to tell Lu Yinglin's details in detail, and only by knowing himself and knowing his opponent could he win all battles.

"The ancestors of the Lu family were the first batch of military households to land in Yunnan after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and before Lu Yinglin's father died in battle, his military exploits were so tired that he was hereditary to thousands of households. Lu Yinglin lost his father at the age of three, his mother was a Luoluo person, and soon remarried and went to Liangshan, becoming the wife of the local Shama Tusi family, and then this Lu Yinglin was taken care of by the Qianguo Mansion, and Guo Kun, the general of Zhengxi, regarded him as a half-son, and he was hereditary at the age of sixteen. ”

Dong Rang immediately picked out the flaws of Lu Yinglin's life experience, and said with a smile: "This Lu Yinglin is still half a Luo Luo person......

Now that Lu Yinglin can enter and leave the Li family in a grand manner, this is not the point, the focus is on the relationship between Lu Yinglin and the Qianguo Mansion, and the relationship between Guo Kun, the general of the expedition to the west. Zhao Yanheng kicked and kicked out the old elm Eight Immortal Table in front of him for more than a foot, his face was annoyed and ruthless.

Dong Rang immediately shut up, looked at the sturdy wooden table drawn out, and thought to himself that if this kick was to kick on people, he could also kick half to death.

Cheng Anguo glanced at the dead eunuch expressionlessly, and persuaded Zhao Yanheng: "Miss Li is also the bloodline of the Zhu family in the Xuanguo Mansion, Guo Kun's mother, Mrs. Zhu, is Zhu Qin's eldest sister, if you count according to seniority, Guo Kun and Miss Li are cousins." However, there is a lot of age difference between the two, and Guo Kun is older than Zhu Qin. It's just that Lu Yinglin is cultivated by the Guo family, and this ability is ...... And this character......"

Cheng Anguo didn't say it clearly, with the cultivation of the Guo family, Lu Yinglin's ability and conduct, and the Li family was not picky. And with the Guo family's matchmaking, Lu Yinglin has been recognized by the Li family, and now he is treated as a quasi-son-in-law, although he knows himself and knows his opponent, he wins all battles, it is difficult for Zhao Yanheng to win, Guo Kun sometimes doesn't even buy the emperor's account, and the Li family doesn't buy the emperor's account very early, so he was killed and degraded by the emperor, and it is difficult for Zhao Yanheng to use the identity of the prince to forcibly take it.

Dong Rangdu wrinkled his face and said, "Master has to ......"

Zhao Yanheng turned his eyes sideways, and then said calmly: "Master first set up camp, strategize well, arrange troops, and will be able to attack the city and pull out the village, and be invincible!"

If you lose, you don't lose, Cheng Anguo hugged Zhao Yanheng to show his admiration.

At Li's house, Jiao's sister-in-law Gao went to see the sister-in-law in confinement, the other ladies accompanied Mrs. Li to talk, Li Su entertained the male guests, Lu Shi was wiping all the things that were washed and washed, Li Fei sent some wine and food everywhere, a few plates of small rolls of powder with the thickness of the index finger were wrapped and cut into a mouthful of small pieces were still hot, Li Fei picked up the tea tray, but glanced at the quiet next door, and then walked quickly to Li Su's study.

In the study, Li Su, Lu Yinglin, and Lin Yi were talking about political affairs around the table, but as soon as Li Fei appeared at the door, Lu Yinglin seemed to sense a stop, and a tough face turned around, Li Fei naturally smiled, and put the tray on the edge of the table, the crystal clear rice skin could see the filling wrapped inside, Li Fei put the pork liver and tofu stuffing in front of Lin Yi, put the egg mushroom stuffing in front of Li Su, and put it in front of Lu Yinglin, which was his favorite pork and cabbage filling.

Lu Yinglin felt warm in his heart when he saw such a placement, and stood up and placed the dipping saucer and chopsticks with Li Fei, very tacitly, Li Fei put down the dipping saucer, and Lu Yinglin put down a pair of chopsticks.

Lin Yi thought about the scene of himself eating with Lin He every day, and nodded and smiled at Li Su. For now, Lu Yinglin and Li Fei, one is tall and mighty, the other is delicate and lovely, but this woman can turn 100 steels into finger wrapping soft, and the two are still very right when they stand together.

Li Fei saw the comforting smiles on Lin Yi and the second brother's faces, withdrew his hand and picked up the tray and said, "You eat first, I'll go." ”

Lu Yinglin's eyes were glued to Li Fei's face, revealing a restrained expression, and then he said directly: "You can drink a cup of tea and be busy." ”

Li Fei's face flushed, and he stood still. Seeing this scene, Li Su coughed lightly and said to Li Fei: "You also sit down and listen, we are talking about the eldest brother." ”

"What's the matter with the eldest brother? The eldest brother hasn't answered the letter, and the eldest brother doesn't know that he has a son. Li Fei put the tray aside, and sat down generously with the dress behind him.

Lu Yinglin didn't keep staring at Li Fei, forcibly turned his face away, and said to Li Su: "The military rations sent to the Lin'an Health Station by the commander are 1,500 loads, so Brother Li's post station will still not be able to share a few loads of grain this year." Spring plowing and summer planting, you have to stay up until the autumn harvest, Brother Li has to prepare himself now. ”

Li Fei frowned and said, "Why is there only 1,500 quintals of grain? This time it was the military rations escorted by King Xiang......" Li Fei remembered the deeds of the quartermasters of the past dynasties who withheld military rations.

"Third sister......" Li Su shook his head at Li Fei.

Lu Yinglin said kindly, and said with a smile: "Don't wronged His Royal Highness King Xiang." This batch of grain and grass was raised by the imperial court in an edict issued by the imperial court aimed at Huguang, and only let King Xiang raise 200,000 loads of grain, and then ordered King Xiang to escort it directly from Huguang. ”

There are too many ways to be a quartermaster, and if you replace the grain with old grain that has been aged for many years or add in some shriveled chaff, as long as it is not too much, the court will close one eye. Li Fei was surprised by such an upright Xiangwang and said, "This is really rare. ”

Lin Yi said with emotion: "The world is difficult, and the mouth of the third girl is poor enough. ”

Obviously did normal things, but when the rule of officials became more and more serious, it became rare.

Li Fei smiled: "I just watched Uncle Amu here, and I just said a few words." ”

Lin Yi is the oldest here, in his early thirties, with square facial features and a burly figure, formerly known as Lin Mu, and later became a city gate manager because there were too many duplicate names of Lin Mu, so he changed it to Li Yi. He is Li Fei's elder. I think that when the Li family and Zhu Qin reconciled and left, they really didn't know that they were pregnant, and then accompanied the Li family to Shudi, and when they knew that there were already signs of miscarriage, they couldn't go west, so they hired a few more people to take care of the Li family's itinerary, Lin Yi was one of them, and the Li family was still living in the Lin family back then. Among all the hired people, Lin Yi is the most dedicated, all the way before and after the saddle, the dots are properly placed, the friendship between the Li family and the Lin family is thus concluded, and later the Lin family also moved to Kunming City, Lin Yi's younger brother Lin He has the skill of making incense, and the Li family is responsible for the trading of spices, and the two are entangled and inseparable.

Lin Yi treated Li Fei as if he was a niece, and Li Fei treated Lin Yi as his own uncle, with a coquettish tone in his voice.

Lin Yi smiled kindly on his face, and his tone was indeed helpless: "The third girl is young, young and vigorous, and it is good to be young and vigorous, but we can only manage the one acre and three points of land in front of us. ”

Li Fei nodded and said to Li Su: "The eldest brother's expenses are large, in addition to the post guards in the post station to support, he also got a school to learn Chinese, when will the family send things over." I need to prepare well and bring good food for my eldest brother. ”

Li Su said: "You prepare slowly, you have to wait for the third brother to come back before there is anyone who can be escorted with confidence." ”

Lu Yinglin stepped forward and said, "Silu's return date in Luchuan is uncertain. I have some time to spare, and if it is effective, I just tell me to do it. ”

Where is Lu Yinglin free, but because Li Xun is Li Su's eldest brother, he has to move out of his free time if he is not idle.

Li Su was not polite, raised his glass to Lu Yinglin and toasted Lu Yinglin with a glass of water, Li Fei held the pot and poured wine for Lu Yinglin.
