Zhou Shizi's bowl of noodles was not long when he ate it.

Because after Yudong heard the news, he rushed to the kitchen to accompany the guest, watched him finish eating, and sent him out of the house.

For Yudong's stick beating mandarin ducks, Zhou Ming was really annoyed and hated. This is his future brother-in-law. Even if he is in his army, he can't wear small shoes, and he has to take good care of them. He could only grind his teeth secretly.

Yuxiu looked at Zhou Ming's awkward face and couldn't help but snicker.

Yudong sent Zhou Ming away, sent Yuxiu back to the backyard, and drove her to rest early.

Soon, it will be the day when the army will go south.

Yudong told Yuxiu that he planned to follow the army south, "Xiuxiu, I've thought about it, I always have no talent for studying in the imperial examination." It's better to join the army to fight, and you will be promoted in the army by military merit, and I will be able to protect you in the future. ”

He said hesitantly, but the meaning of his words was firm.

Yuxiu was a little reluctant, but more relieved that her brother was more and more able to make up his mind. In the future, the Yan family will be the elder brother's director, and it is always a good thing for him to be assertive. Besides, how could he be afraid that something would happen to him, so he would trap him at home?

"Brother, then you are on the battlefield, you must be careful in everything, and think more about things. ”

"I know I'm not going to be reckless anymore. The three of you entered Beijing, and it won't be long before it will be August, and after Yuliang presents his book in front of the emperor, don't be in a hurry to return to Mingzhou. Zhou Shizi said that the battle with Shuzhong, if it is fast, it may be over in less than half a year. At that time, I will follow the army back to Beijing, and then accompany you back to Mingzhou. ”

Yuxiu knew that Yudong was afraid that they would encounter things again on the way back, so they agreed one by one.

At the end, Yudong said solemnly, "Xiuxiu, I think you and Zhou Shizi are very good. I won't be under him all the time. When the war in Shuzhong is over, he will go to the north, and I will stay in the south. ”

He was afraid that he had always been a general under Zhou Ming, and he would make people look down on Yuxiu.

Yuxiu didn't care about this, but it was the first time for Yudong to think about it so thoroughly, and she only nodded happily.

Zhou Ming also came to say goodbye to Yuxiu.

There are Li Chengyun and Xie Huiling in the capital, and he is not worried about Yuliang's dedication of books in front of the emperor.

There are many complicated personnel in Beijing, especially when he thinks of Jin Yuanzong's kind of goods, Zhou Ming only feels that it is too unsafe for Yuxiu to enter Beijing, "When you arrive in the capital, go out less." ”

As he spoke, he took out another brocade bag, "Here are a thousand taels of silver, you can take it." When you arrive in the capital, everything costs money. I know that you have bought a house in the capital, and you always have no worries about food and clothing. But in that place in the capital, everything needs silver......"

Yuxiu took the brocade bag, a little stunned, "I don't lack silver ......"

"I know," Zhou Ming said, "these are for you, and you can keep them." This time there was an accident in Runzhou, I asked, most of the property you brought was lost, and when you arrived in the capital, if someone invited you to a banquet, you had to give a reward or something, you had to bring some. ”

Zhou Ming said sincerely, Yuxiu took it, and felt funny and moved for a while.

Although most of her property in Runzhou has been lost, the silver ticket she is carrying now is still a few thousand taels. What's more, after arriving in the capital, the money she wrote back to Mingzhou to transfer will be sent over soon. The three of them entered Beijing, and they didn't have to worry about a shortage of money.

However, Zhou Ming, the son of King Cheng, has a high status in Beijing, and he actually pays attention to small things such as women going to banquets and rewards. is so thoughtful, but she is also happy in her heart.

"That...... I used to be wrong, and I laughed at you for being greedy for money. Now I know that money is like a mountain!" Zhou Ming saw Yuxiu take it and sighed. I said this from the bottom of my heart.

After King Cheng was injured, he took over the affairs of the army, and only then did he realize that the "army has not moved, grain and grass first" that he heard in the past was not just talking.

Just like this time, he was going to lead the army south to quell the rebellion, Emperor Wu knew that the military situation was in fire and could not be delayed, but what was the way for the treasury to run out of money?

Zhou Ming also knew that in the Zhou family's army, there were many people like Qian Chang and Zhong Youxing who retired from the army due to injuries every year. Just like this battle in the Northland, to say the least, there must be hundreds of people seriously injured and unable to fight again.

These people don't know anything other than fighting and practicing martial arts, and they don't make a living. They were homeless and could only be resettled in the palace.

Love soldiers like sons, this name is not only to love soldiers like children when leading soldiers, but also to be placed when cronies can't fight.

You have to pay for these people.

The great Chengwang Palace, the successive kings are not very concerned with general affairs, and the palace can only be said to have money available, but it is not rich. Fortunately, the successive generations of Chengwangfu did not have many heirs, and there were no idle children. Therefore, there is no one who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles.

He grew up in the Northland military camp and didn't care much about money. When he returned to Beijing two years ago, Princess Cheng felt sorry for him and never let him be short of money, so he didn't know what it was like to be short of money.

After getting to know the brothers and sisters of the Yan family, he knew the hardships of the poor to make money.

Later, when he took over the affairs of the Northland Army, and spent a sum of money but did not enter the account, he felt that the money was important.

He felt that he was not in the capital, so he could only give the silver first.

Yuxiu touched the brocade bag and looked at Zhou Ming's eager face, the army was about to go out, she couldn't hit Zhou Ming's self-confidence.

Thinking so, Yuxiu happily put it away, "Thank you Zhou Shizi, this silver can help me a lot." I'll give it back to you later. ”

Zhou Ming was very happy to hear that he had helped her a lot, of course, if Yuxiu didn't call him Zhou Shizi, just call him Zhou Ming or Zixian, he would be even happier.

The two talked for a while, and Zhou Ming left with peace of mind.

Zhao Quansheng came to Yuxiu again, saying that he wanted to follow his uncle to the army to make contributions.

In the past two days, Yuxiu has seen the matter of Zhao Quansheng and Liu Wu. The two of them looked at it, but their feelings deepened.

Although Zhao Quansheng has a scar on his face and is older, he has a good temperament. The catkins are scattered in the dust, looking weak, but their temperament is quite spicy. These two are not bad together.

If Zhao Quansheng goes to the army to earn fame, the two of them will not be able to do the Yan family's stewardship again

But Yuxiu thinks about this very openly, and there are many talents in the Yan family's stewardship now. She promised Zhao Quansheng to follow Yudong, and transferred Mu Hai to be the chief treasurer of Guangshengji, in charge of Guangshengji's affairs.

"Liu Fu, you have to be the big shopkeeper for a few more days, and I'll let the jade slave take over your business when you go back. She smiled and said to catkins.

It was rare for Liu Wu to be embarrassed, and only said that he would help the eldest lady for the rest of his life.

Yuxiu just laughed, turned around and wrote to Dongping Village, asking Jiuniang to send Yu Nu to the capital as soon as possible to take care of the affairs of the Splendid Silk Village with Liu Wu.

The manpower arrangements were in place, and on the day the army was launched, she followed the people of Runzhou to send the army south.
