The arrival of Geng Qiu and his entourage caused chaos in the entire general's mansion for a long time, and they brought a lot of things, fragments, just so many people's clothes and quilts, etc., before they settled down, it was already time for dinner.

The kitchen had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, but Ah Hao had not come back yet, Zeng Dashan said: "There is little time for the general to go home for dinner." They have always told him not to be left alone. A little food would be left on the stove for him, and he wouldn't go hungry if he came back. ”

"Then let's eat first." Geng Qiu said and ordered the meal to be served.

Zeng Dashan and his two sons and a daughter have not seen each other for a few years, of course, they have to make a good affection, the family of four went to eat by themselves, and the third uncle and three aunts accompanied Brother Niu Ning and Geng Qiu and Dr. Li to eat together. They were all accustomed to do it themselves, and they didn't want to wait on the side, and the twelve people he brought with him also went to eat without mentioning it.

After eating, it was not early, everyone was tired all the way, and they were already tired, Geng Qiu sent Ah Niu to take a bath, and cleaned up the room for him by himself, Ah Niu's room was in the main room, Ah Hao only lived in one, and there were many empty rooms. Geng Qiu picked a room at random, it was clean, the beds and chairs and other things were existing, but they didn't even have a cover, Geng Qiu directly took the cover he brought, because he was afraid that he was young, and he would be afraid to sleep in a different place when he suddenly changed places, so he asked Brother Ning to sleep with him, so he went to Ah Hao's room to find a quilt and put it on the bed. After a while, Ah Niu and Ning Ge'er washed up, they didn't pick the room, and they were tired again, so the two climbed into bed and soon fell asleep.

After the two children slept, Geng Qiu and the third aunt were busy cleaning up first, the third uncle and the third aunt refused to live in the main courtyard, Zeng Dashan pointed to a small side courtyard behind the main courtyard for them to live, anyway, there are many empty spaces in the general's mansion. This small courtyard is close to the main courtyard, and it is clean, and the third uncle and three aunts are also very satisfied. The two of them moved their own clothes and bedding directly into it. Dr. Li and his little apprentice also lived in another small courtyard next to him. There are several of these small partial courtyards, but they are all empty at the moment, so you can believe how you want to live. Anyway, in the entire General's Mansion, there are too few masters, and they all live in the main courtyard, and the main courtyard has not been cleaned up until now, but a few rooms can be lived.

The people have their own places to live, and Zeng Dashan arranged them first. Everyone was tired, and Geng Qiu asked them to rest early. In the main courtyard, except for the two children who were asleep in a room, Geng Qiu was left alone and was busy cleaning up the ceremony. The things they brought are now all piled up in the warehouse of the main courtyard, messy, clothes, quilts, pickles, jars, salted fish and salted meat, Geng Qiu just picked up his and Ah Niu's clothes and other daily necessities first. The rest of the things can only be cleaned up slowly.

The two of them also have a lot of clothes, shoes and socks, but fortunately, Geng Qiu only brought thick winter clothes and some thin jackets and jackets that can be worn in spring, and he didn't bring many big coats and clothes outside, because they usually wore very ordinary, and when they arrived in Kyoto, they had to make a few good clothes. But for the clothes they wore inside, the two of them also brought four or five sets of clothes each, as well as the bedding that the two of them were accustomed to, and they also loaded a few large baskets. There was no time to break the box, Geng Qiu also disliked the bulky wooden box, and everything was directly packed in a bamboo basket. Take it out and put it in the closet. Ah Hao's own clothes were only half filled in the cabinet, and Geng Qiu and Ah Niu's clothes were added and only half filled in half. Seeing the clothes of a family of three next to each other, Geng Qiu's mood brightened. This separation is a few years. I don't know what Ah Hao is like now.

After packing up his clothes, Geng Qiu was so tired that he yawned, and hurriedly went to take a bath, and was washing, when he heard a sound outside, he knew that it should be Ah Hao coming back, his heartbeat accelerated all of a sudden, and he dried his body in three or two clicks, put on his clothes and came out.

"Here we are." Ah Hao was changing his clothes, and he didn't look back.

"Yes. Busy? Did you have dinner? Geng Qiu asked.

"I've eaten, I'm a little busy, you don't have to worry about me, hurry up and go to bed. I'll go wash it. Ah Hao smiled and took his clothes to the clean room.

Geng Qiu slowly wiped his hair, his heart was pounding, and even panicked, Ah Hao took a bath very quickly, and before he could straighten out his mood, Ah Hao came in with a robe.

Under the light, Ah Hao's half-naked body was vigorous and powerful, and he didn't wear anything inside, so he put on an outer robe. He approached step by step, Geng Qiu only felt that his mouth was dry, and his lower abdomen was hot for a while, and the two of them hugged each other before they even had time to say anything. The longing of the body, silently recounting the lovesickness, the two were tireless, and I don't know how long it took before they hugged each other and fell asleep.

Maybe it's because it's too long, they all sleep alone, and suddenly there is one more person around them, and the two wake up in the morning, and they are both looking at each other very unconscious, and after a while, Ah Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's sleep a little longer." I'm resting today. ”

"Yes." Geng Qiu turned around and closed his eyes again, Ah Hao thought that he was really going to sleep again, Geng Qiu suddenly turned up, pressed him, and turned it over again. Early in the morning, it is the time when the dragon is fierce and fierce, since you don't have to get up, you might as well do something meaningful.

The two woke up again, it was not early, but everyone was tired, Geng Qiu explained again yesterday, let everyone rest more, so the time for them to get up was not too late. It's just that Ah Niu and Ning Ge'er are already eating breakfast. The two children went to bed early and slept deeply, but woke up a little earlier.

Seeing the two of them come out, Ah Niu immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, staring at Ah Hao, when Ah Hao went to fight, Ah Niu was only five years old, and now he is almost ten years old, he is no longer a child, he himself is taller and stronger than children of the same age, and he can be regarded as a little teenager now. Brother Ning, who is even older, is almost fifteen years old, and after the exam last year, he was already a talented man. The two children are very good-looking, especially Brother Ning, who has grown in appearance and has a slender figure, but he is a very temperamental young man.

"Daddy, Father, you are up." Ah Niu shouted.

Brother Ning was much more polite than him, and he saluted in a proper manner, and shouted in his mouth: "Cousin, Brother Qiu." ”

"Well, sit down, we've all grown up." Ah Hao said with emotion. Looking at the two children, I realized that four or five years had passed unconsciously.

"Eat, eat." Geng Qiu said with a smile. He was hungry, and when he first came out, he heard Ah Hao's stomach screaming. The two of them did a few exercises, and the little things in their stomachs had already been digested, and when they saw the food on the table, they felt more and more hungry.

The breakfast is very rich, which is not as poor as Beixian, at that time, and the most common brown rice porridge and coarse bread are usually eaten. Even if the conditions are much better later, it's just that after eating white rice porridge and white flour steamed buns, it can't compare to the current life in the General's Mansion. For breakfast alone, there was a table full of porridge, and there were several kinds of porridge. Of course, usually Ah Hao is at home alone, and he doesn't eat so well, his life is extremely simple, and he can't use it too much by himself. Today, Zeng Dashan specially instructed the kitchen to do a few more things, and the kitchen is also full of energy, and he deliberately made up these many tricks, so be sure to wait for the masters.

After the family had breakfast, Ah Hao saw other people again, and was pulled into the room by Dr. Li to check the pulse.

"How?" Geng Qiu asked worriedly beside him. He had already taken a closer look at Ah Hao's body, and there were a lot of scars. None of them were fatal, but they were extremely dangerous.

"It's a bit empty, I prescribe a prescription, with acupuncture, a month, it's almost over. It's just that if you want to be completely raised, it will take a year and a half. Dr. Li said.

"That's good." Geng Qiu said that he was really afraid that something would go wrong with Ah Hao's body.

After Geng Qiu went out, Dr. Li quickly handed Ah Hao a pill, and Ah Hao took it and said, "What is this?" ”

"Your body is a little weak, and it is a long time since you are newly married, and it is not suitable to have a body, this medicine can protect you from getting pregnant for a year." Dr. Li said.

"What about the future?" Ah Hao took the medicine and asked again.

"It's okay, I can help you get over. I'll have to help you get your body in order before you can go. Don't tell me I'm here, I'll have to walk around when the weather gets warmer in the spring. Dr. Li laughed.

"Good. However, I have a few friends who have some big and small injuries, can you bring them for you to see? Ah Hao asked again.

"Okay, as long as you don't say who I am. Anyway, if I stay at your house, I won't go out, no matter who comes, you just need to say that I'm an old guy in North County. ”

Dr. Li doesn't want to mess with the powerful, he would rather treat ordinary people, and he has been in Beixian for a long time, and now he is looking forward to a life of running around.

Ah Hao rarely rested at home for a day, and accompanied Geng Qiu to clean up the house. At night, Geng Qiu looked at the few subordinates in this big general's mansion, and he knew that there were too few people he had brought. Twelve people, it really doesn't make a difference. Except for the two people given by the Yu family who can take on heavy responsibilities, the pillar will follow Ah Hao first and be his long-term follower. The lotus flower stays in the inner house, and occasionally has to receive female guests. The rest of the people have to be trained, and there is really a shortage of manpower.

"We're going to have to buy another batch of people. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this ushering in the delivery will require a lot of manpower, plus there will always be sacrifices this year, so there will definitely be a treat. Geng Qiu said.

"Yes, there are already many people who have said that they are coming to the house for dinner, but I have pushed them all down, and only said that I will feast after you come. It's a lot of people who have to be added. In this way, let the officials bring a group of people over tomorrow, and you pick some people first, but I'm afraid that some people will take the opportunity to bury their eyes in our house. Ah Hao said.

"Are you annoying, what kind of eyeliner are buried, is there anything in this house, is it worth being calculated by others?" Geng Qiu said puzzled.

"There's no way, Kyori is like this. But don't worry too much, you have to get some people first, and then pick slowly, and if it doesn't work, send it out. ”

"Fortunately, I brought twelve people, which is too few, and I knew that I should have brought more people." Geng Qiu said regretfully.

"The time is too short, twelve people are not bad, and it is rare to find suitable people in Beixian, these people have to be trained. Only those families, generations of old servants over the years, can find some subordinates who know everything and can do good deeds. Otherwise, I have to teach myself slowly, not to mention my home, in the suburbs, and I have a Zhuangzi for me, I haven't even gone to see it, and I have to meet them tomorrow. I don't have much property in Beijing, this Zhuangzi has to run it well, otherwise, how can we, a big family, live on Yulu alone. Ah Hao said again.

In the past, some of the industries of the General's Mansion have long been unknown to the Lord a few times, even if they are recovered, it is meaningless, and now there is a big Zhuangzi rewarded above, plus the gold and silver of seven seven or eighty-eight are soft, and the General's Mansion now has few masters, and there are three mountains in Bei County, and the family spends almost the same. It's just that just raising the General's Mansion will cost a lot of silver, such a big General's Mansion, just the people who sprinkle and sweep, there will be a lot, not to mention taking care of the garden, waiting for the master, running errands, buying, etc., there are no more than 100 people, where can they be turned around. The cost of raising these people is a lot in a month. So Ah Hao said that Zhuangzi should take care of it well.

"Well, the family has a big business. We're going to have to add an industry slowly. Zhuangzi asked the third uncle to take a look first, over the years, he has followed me to take care of more than 300 acres of land in Beixian County, and he is already very experienced. Geng Qiu said.

"Whatever you want, you always have to take care of these properties."

"It's okay, if it really doesn't work, it's okay to bring a few tenant farmers from Beixian County and buy a few houses. This Zhuangzi is currently the largest industry in the General's Mansion, and I must take care of it well. Geng Qiu said with a smile. He is now quite experienced in managing farms, he has more than 300 acres in his own family in Beixian County, plus more than 300 acres in the rest of his family, and several mountains, all counted together, it is a very large Zhuangzi. are all tightly managed by him, and the crops that should be planted throughout the year are all allocated by him, so the output will be so good.

"Well, I don't have to worry about you. At the moment, although I am hot in the DPRK, I am also walking on thin ice, and I have to be careful in everything. So I can't take care of my family's affairs. Ah Hao leaned on him and said lazily. It's been a few years, and he's almost forgotten that he still has someone to rely on. Now as soon as Geng Qiu came back, he immediately became lazy.

The two of them are talking together, and their mood is extremely relaxed, on weekdays, Ah Hao sees people in the officialdom outside, all kinds of people, which ones are not wearing different masks, and they have to be energetic when dealing with them, for fear that if one is not careful, something will happen. Only in front of Geng Qiu can he say whatever he wants, and with Geng Qiu, the General's Mansion can really be regarded as his home.

Geng Qiu knew that he was working hard outside, and when he heard him say this, his heart was sour, and he just wished that he could replace him, but he knew very well that in this life, he could only rely on Ah Hao to support a piece of the sky for everyone outside. Geng Qiu knew that what he could do was to take care of this home for him and let him have a haven to rest.
