Chapter Twenty-Four: Really Capable of Something

Doudou actually remembered the news that Xiao Fei inquired about that time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sergeants who escorted the military rations for the White Tiger Battalion were all General Huo Da's people, which means that the source of food and grass for the White Tiger Battalion was different from that of the guards.

At the beginning, she and Dou Dayong's family lived in Xiningwei, and the rations of the soldiers in the guard were all requisitioned on the spot.

Only when there is a local disaster or a bad year will the superiors be consulted, and General Huo will allocate the necessary food.

And the elite of the White Tiger Battalion has always been directly allocated by the imperial court for grain and grass, so no matter how good or bad the local situation is, their material supply is guaranteed.

But is such a seemingly very secure iron rice bowl really an "iron" rice bowl?

Naturally, the emperor would not treat the soldiers who guarded the territory for him, and aside from the ordnance and other materials, the military department was responsible for it, but it was the household department that specifically raised and allocated grain and grass.

And the household department ......

Doudou's face was as usual, but he secretly sweated for Huo Xiao in his heart.

Empress Pei's grandfather, Lao Weiyuan, was a household secretary for more than ten years when he was young.

Today's Hubu Shangshu is old, and it is Pei Jinxin's father Pei Tingyan who really holds the real power, and it can be said that the Hubu has always been the territory of the Pei family.

Once Huo Xiao tears his face with the Pei family because of his marriage, his life will not be easy.

It's not that Pei Tingyan really dares to deduct the grain and grass of the Northwest Army, after all, this is a big crime of being beheaded.

But it's easy to do a little bit without breaking the law.

The northwest military camp is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is common to encounter various accidents and disasters along the way.

Therefore, the date of the arrival of military rations has always been only a range, and as long as the grain can be delivered, whether it is a few days earlier or a few days later, the people in the household department do not have to play any role.

Even the loss of grain on the road due to unexpected mildew such as weather also has a specific range.

Pei Tingyan, who was born in the army, wants to play such a trick too easily.

As for the officers and men in the barracks, a little more or less, a few days earlier and a few days later, sometimes it is not only a matter of victory or defeat in the battle, but even a matter of survival.

Huo Xiao is destined to be the commander of an army in this life, and such a thing is bound to be entangled with him for a lifetime.

If Huo Xiao became Pei Tingyan's son-in-law, he would naturally never have to worry about these things, but he didn't have the slightest intention of marrying Pei Jinxin.

It is said that the nephew imitates the uncle, the uncle of Yu Wenheng, the neurotic prince, and when he encounters such a thing as his daughter being disliked, it is strange if he can still smile lightly!

She finally understood Princess Yongfu's intentions, although there was Gu Xi's affection for marrying the Pei family, the bigger reason was to let Huo Xiao have a good life in the future.

The beloved son of his parents will have far-reaching plans, and Princess Yongfu has taken great pains for Huo Xiao.

And he is an orphan girl, what can he give Huo Xiao except a sincere heart?

About all that remains is endless trouble.

With Huo Xiao's conditions, there are hundreds of girls who like her, although it is inevitable that there will be people who are greedy for wealth and glory, and there will never be a few who are willing to pay sincerely.

Doudou was a little depressed in his heart, but he still maintained a sweet smile on his face: "I just asked casually, it doesn't matter." ”

Huo Xiao was in a good mood, where did he think that Doudou had thought so much in his little head, and he didn't continue to ask when he saw her.

Doudou beckoned Fat Mai Sui'er to sit down and eat together, and a few people didn't say much and enjoyed a good meal.

After they had eaten and drunk enough, they returned to the restaurant.

He nodded at Huo Xiao, indicating that things had been arranged.

Doudou didn't know what to do, and said to Huo Xiao: "Brother Che, what did Brother Shumo just go?"

Huo Xiao held her little hand and said, "You have come to Liangzhou thousands of miles away, it must be uncomfortable to live in an inn, I will ask him to arrange a place for you." ”

Doudou waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I can sleep well anywhere." ”

Huo Xiao rubbed her little head: "I'm willing to do anything for you, how can it be trouble?"

Doudou's heart was sour, the trouble she said was not such a trivial matter as arranging food and accommodation at all, but herself.

Cheng Xiaofei pursed his lips secretly, the girl surnamed Huo really has a set of coaxes, and the words he said are extremely numb, but they are very heartwarming, and even he was almost moved by this patience and meticulousness.

Fat Mai Sui'er is the most proficient, and she smiled and came to Doudou's side: "Girl, the slave likes to eat the dishes you cook the most, you should be a poor slave and poor slave, okay?" ”

Doudou was amused by her, she was not a hypocritical person, so she let Huo Xiao pull her out of the private room.

A quarter of an hour later, the group rode to a house in the west of the city.

Rao is Doudou has already made enough psychological preparations, and he is still taken aback.

This is a three-entry house, the area is not too big and not luxurious, but at first glance it is carefully cared for, which is too much for Doudou's heart.

Huo Xiao nodded slightly to Shumo in approval, finding a suitable house in such a short time is not something that can be done just by having money.

Too big lentils to live inevitably feel lonely, too luxurious and she doesn't like it, too simple and remote and not safe enough.

Shumo is really up to the task, and it's a good material for a housekeeper.

Doudou turned his head to look at Huo Xiao, and said with some suspicion: "Didn't you buy this house before?"

It's not that she's suspicious and sick, her thoughts are the same as Huo Xiao's, and finding such a suitable house in such a short time is indeed not something that can be done just with money.

Huo Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, didn't this girl suspect that she had bought a house in Liangzhou City?

Of course he wouldn't do something like that, the question is what man would be stupid enough to do such a thing and let his daughter-in-law know?

Huo Xiao stretched out his finger and pointed at Shumo: "Shumo is solely responsible for this matter, I don't have such great ability." ”

Doudou raised his thumb and smiled: "Brother Shumo is really a good skill, I found such a good house in such a short time, who will marry you in the future will be a blessed person, thank you!"

After that, he pulled the fat wheat ears and Cheng Xiaofei and ran in.

Shumo's face was flushed, he was eighteen years old before he was talked about marrying a daughter-in-law for the first time, and he was really panicked.

Huo Xiao snorted and laughed: "You want to be beautiful, the day when the master can't marry his daughter-in-law, you and Shuyan will have to accompany the master to fight the bachelor!"

Shumo muttered in a low voice: "Ye's side is originally full of a group of singles. ”

Huo Xiao didn't want to talk to him too much, so he walked into the house with his legs raised.

Shumo's ability is really not blown, although the house is ready-made, but the furnishings inside are all temporarily changed by him.

Especially Doudou's room, he simply exhausted his whole mind.

Warm, comfortable, fresh and elegant, it is suitable for the girl of the noble family to live.

Huo Xiao gave a look, and the fat wheat ears dragged Cheng Xiaofei out.

He leaned against the window, looked at Doudou and said with a smile: "Little lentil, you and Fat Mai Sui'er live in this house, and I will accompany you whenever I have time." ”

Doudou saw that the roses outside the window began to bud, and the small yard was full of life, so he pushed open the window and smiled: "I really like such a good yard." ”

Huo Xiao took out a delicate jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to her: "This is a jade cream made inside, Liangzhou is windy and sandy, if you feel that your skin is dry and uncomfortable, just wipe a little." (To be continued.) )
