Noble son of the poor family (62)

What a clever mouth.

What is called 'If there is chaos in the house, it is a thousand times more ruthless than outsiders.' ’？

As soon as she said this, didn't she really take him into an army? With thousands of troops and horses, she didn't do anything like 'making chaos in the house'! Just to prevent outsiders from killing, harming, and hurting others, then didn't she come here today to kill, harm, and hurt others? Is her own family a hundred times more ruthless than outsiders?

Skullcap smiled, she was really a difficult little woman. He turned around and said, "Give the order to go down and exit the ten-mile camp." Then he jumped off the horse, "Since you invite the old man into the city, can the old man still be afraid of her?"

He only brought two people with his relatives and came towards the city gate.

Mr. Fan gritted his teeth and scolded: "This arrogant old man will die under his pride sooner or later." ”

Lin Yutong smiled secretly in his heart, don't look at Mr. Fan, an old horseman, a stubborn donkey, and he is very close to General Huang in his heart.

"Sir, it's time for us to go down and meet the old general. Lin Yutong said, and took the lead and walked briskly towards the city.

Skullcap entered the city gate, he was stunned for a moment, except for the soldiers near the city gate, everything in the city is as usual, the street is still open, business is done, and the pedestrians on the street even have curious people looking nearby.

This made him frown for a moment. This man stationed in the capital is a fool.

"The enemy is now, but it is scattered so ......far," skullcap's face condensed. If the Hu people knew that the defense of the capital of the Ming Dynasty was like this, they were afraid that no amount of resistance would stop their enterprising ambitions.

Lin Yutong stood behind Skullcap, and was not annoyed that he couldn't get close when he was blocked by his two entourages, and only smiled: "Old general, where is there a big enemy? Why didn't I see it?"

Skullcap turned her head to look at the person who was talking behind her, "It's really a little girl?"

Lin Yutong saluted to the skullcap, "Yin Lin has seen the old general. ”

Skullcap nodded, "The Duchess is very polite." Don't dare to be old. As he spoke, his eyes looked at Lin Yutong a little unkindly: "Little girl, why are you so arrogant? Even an old man like this is not worthy of being your enemy?"

Lin Yutong raised his head and smiled: "Old general, how can you be a great enemy? You are guarding the border with your brothers from the border battalion, which is our first line of defense. Without you leading the soldiers to shed blood, where would there be a peaceful life for everyone. Today, the gate of the capital is wide open to welcome the benefactor. Where do you say that the enemy is the enemy?"

The corners of Skullcap's mouth moved, and he glanced at Lin Yutong deeply, "The old man guards the border, he is ordered by the emperor, and he is rewarded by the king's grace." If it can benefit the people, it will also be the emperor's grace!"

Lin Yutong didn't refute either, "Then the emperor's grace will be dangling." The old general hasn't been back to Beijing for a few years. You should see how different this capital is from what you've seen before. "As he spoke, he made a gesture of please," we said as we walked. ”

The people who saw Lin Yutong on the street also saluted from afar. Although he did not come near, he did not see fear.

It can be seen that this Yin family Shiro is still quite popular in the capital.

The streets are not as busy as they used to be, but there is no sign of panic either. Everyone's steps were in a hurry, as if they had something to do.

"This is the capital you asked the old man to see?" Skullcap sneered: "Look at whether the life here is good, not to see if the streets are clean, but to see how many women dare to walk around at will on the street, and how many children can run wildly." The old man watched for a long time, but he didn't see the woman or the child. Where have all these people gone? The streets are full of young people. What else do you say that there is no great enemy? Little doll, the old man is not easy to deceive. ”

Fan Dongzhe followed behind and shook his head, scolding in his heart for being stupid! Step by step, he entered other people's traps without knowing it, he was really stupid.

Lin Yutong didn't expect him to say this, his face turned red, "Old general, the little woman treats you with sincerity, how can you be so suspicious and slandered?" her tone was very angry, "In this case, the old general might as well come with me." ”

As she spoke, she strode forward.

I turned the corner and stopped at a house. Astragalus followed Lin Yutong closer, and he could hear the sound of Lang reading from inside.

"You ask me where the children have gone?" Lin Yutong pointed inside, "The children are all inside." In every street, there is a Mongolian school. Teach them to read and write for free, and at noon, take care of a meal for free. That is, a bowl of porridge and a nest head of two taels. ”

Skullcap was stunned. Just one lunch will ensure that these children will not starve to death in these troubled times. If you can still recognize a few words, it is a great luck. As long as they are not stupid, they will send children who are not able to work over.

He walked in and looked inside. Each of the children has a sand table in front of them, and they are writing with dead branches of different thicknesses and lengths.

The children were of all ages, both men and women, and he was stunned again.

Lin Yutong explained on the side: "Many families don't want to ask their daughters to come out and show their heads, but for a meal, in order to save some food rations for the family, they still sent the girl's family here." This was also a bonus. You can rest assured that girls under the age of seven will study with men, but those over the age of seven will be placed in a separate yard, and not only will the female gentleman be invited to teach them to read, but also the grandmother of the embroidery workshop will be invited to guide them in their skills. However, what I am learning now is how to make military uniforms. The others are not taught for the time being. ”

The corners of Skullcap's mouth twitched, and then nodded imperceptibly.

Then, following Lin Yutong's footsteps, he walked into another large courtyard, and all the women came in and out.

"The women are also here, earning a bite to eat with their own hands. Lin Yutong pointed outside, "In every street, there is a quilt office, a Mengxue, and a Huimin office." In these places, the old and the weak, women and children are housed. Most of the men went to war. And the rest of the sturdy men also had their own errands. It's the patrol you see on the street. ”

Because this is the place where the woman stays, the skullcap only glanced outside, and then turned and came out.

Lin Yutong said in a low voice: "The capital has not yet recovered its former prosperity, but at least, since the Holy Driver left the capital, no one has starved to death. This is also the confidence that I dare to open the city gates. She pointed to a busy, peaceful street, "I don't believe it, you will swing a horse and a knife and break the peace with your own hands." ”

Skullcap's face froze suddenly, and it took a long time to glance at Lin Yutong with complicated eyes.

Lin Yutong looked back without showing weakness. It was as if the gates of the city were opened so wide today. If you want to go into the city, you can come in and kill.

Skullcap smiled angrily: "Very good! ”

Before Lin Yutong could speak, Mr. Fan finally walked out from behind, "Madam, the banquet in the mansion has been prepared, do you want to go back to the mansion first?"

This can be regarded as giving the two of them a step.

"It should. Lin Yutong said, and immediately invited skullcap.

Skullcap looked at Fan Dongzhe, "You old Fan...... Aren't you already ...... How could it be here?"

Mr. Fan smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say a word! It's hard to say a word!" As he spoke, he took the initiative to take the hand of the skullcap, "Listen to me talk to you slowly." ”

Only then did he half-pull and half-push, and invited the skullcap into the house.

A braised fish, a white cut chicken, a scallion fried mutton, and a braised pork. A cold pastry, a vinegared cabbage. Add another egg broth.

In today's conditions, it's definitely a luxury.

Skullcap's face immediately became unsightly, "Just give the old man a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles." ”

Mr. Fan said angrily: "You can do it, don't use your previous set to be embarrassed." This kind of dish is specially prepared for you today. In that year, your military rations were cut off, and you went to the capital to find a household department. Have you forgotten what kind of pomp and circumstance those people were? At this time, I am afraid that the lady has already transported the grain ten miles outside the city and sent it to you. And to you, cherish each other. What are you going to do? People treat you as a person, but you take Joe! People don't treat you as a person, but you stick to you more and more. What the hell are you talking about, old horseman!"

Skullcap looked at Fan Dongzhe and sneered: "You are a dignified product of the imperial court, but you faked your death and got out, making profits for people with ill intentions here." is unfaithful to the king, unrighteous to friends, where is the right to talk to the old man. Hugh is going to speak!" looked disdainful of being in the company of it.

Mr. Fan then snorted coldly: "Your Excellency's kindness is heavy, what did your military salary and food deduct that day, what did your Majesty say? Who took the risk of being reprimanded by your Majesty and secretly allocated it to you? Unjust to your friends? Ahh As he spoke, he pointed at Lin Yutong, "You old thing, open your eyes and take a look, look at the age of the little girl, compared with your granddaughter, who is older and who is younger? If you want this capital, you speak. Madame had already packed her belongings and would be able to leave immediately. It's just that this capital is for you, and you can defend it for a few days? Will you not go back to the northeast? Won't the imperial court send someone to replace you? Can you guarantee that those messy people will not secretly sell the rations of everyone in the capital at a high price? Are you not afraid that the moat outside the city will fill up the hungry ghosts? If you are really not afraid, the old man will really not stop you. Immediately call your men into the city, and immediately receive the capital. Let's go!"
