In fact, the truth of the hussar general election is somewhat different from the name. Although the Great Xia State www.biquge.info only ten years, the time it has experienced to dominate the world is far more than ten years. Those meritorious veterans who followed the current emperor on the battlefield are now alive and old. Huai'an Hou and Wang Shangshu can be regarded as the youngest two in this group, but Huai'an Hou has been injured many times, and now his body can no longer go to the battlefield, although he holds military power, he is not strong in the court.

Now there are only two or three veterans who can lead the troops to the battle, and they are all veterans over sixty years old. The imperial court is now a civil and military general, and disputes have arisen again on the southwestern border. The emperor can only use this to select a group of young juniors with good martial arts skills, and then divide them into grades through military art drills combined with martial arts test results, and take them to the battlefield by the old generals to temper them, which not only solves the urgent needs of the border, but also takes the opportunity to train some young generals.

Xi Yunjian and Nangong Yufeng were among them.

Wang Shaoyan has been busy all this time, just for this matter. During the three days of the competition, Wang Shaoyan didn't even go home, and Xi Cui and the others wanted to know Yun Jian's results.

Fortunately, five days later, Wang Shaoyan returned home. But without saying a few words, he fell asleep with his head covered.

This sleep was a day and a night, and although Xi Cui was anxious to know Yun Jian's results, he didn't dare to wake people up. Finally, he looked forward to Wang Shaoyan resting enough, and after bathing and eating, he slowly told Yun Ting and Xi Cui about the situation on the martial arts field.

Xi Yunjian lived up to expectations and came out on top, Nangong Yufeng was not weak in second place, the third was after Duan Fei's general, and the fourth was Liang Chuan, who had no identity background. Even Liu Chen, who had been following Wang Shangshu, also won a twelfth place. This time, a total of 50 young generals were selected, and they will be assigned to different ranks according to their achievements, and General Sun Lao will lead them to the southwest border.

Fifty young generals! The name is so loud, who knows how many will come back when the time comes? Giving such a beautiful name is nothing more than making their death more glorious, right? Don't give time to get acquainted with the life of the barracks, no one teaches the combat experience of leading troops, and as soon as you come up, you go directly to the battlefield, and those who can survive are mostly sent to death unless they are born generals, right? Although Xi Cui didn't understand the matter of leading troops to fight, he still heard what Hou Ye said, no matter how vivid the things in the war book are, they are dead, and the real battlefield cannot be faced rationally unless he experiences it himself, let alone calm down and think about the strategy in the war book. If the newcomer is not accompanied by an old man, the chances of surviving are very slim, let alone winning.

Only by taking the first merit can he be worthy of the title of hussar general, a first-class general, supreme honor, can anyone really afford it?

Hearing that Xi Yunjian won the first place, Yun Ting was naturally overjoyed, but Wang Shaoyan, who knew the truth, couldn't be happy. During this period, he even thought about preventing Xi Yunjian from being elected, but he inadvertently found that Huai'an Hou seemed to be trying his best to promote this matter, and he was trying his best to let Xi Yunjian go to the battlefield. Those who have a way are avoiding it, but he is begging, for this reason Wang Shaoyan looked for Hou Ye, but the answer he got was that Xi Yunjian must leave, and he can live in the place of death.

There is no need to doubt it anymore, Wang Shaoyan is sure that something must be wrong with the Hou Mansion, and he asked his father about this. But his father was vague and his words flickered, he knew about it, but he didn't want to say it.

For now, it's a dead end. The emperor is not mediocre, why do you want to use such an extreme way to set up this game? In the past few days, he has been looking forward to talents in front of his father, but this step is a killing move, if these young people train many of them well, why do they want to send them to death? What role does Huai'an Houfu play in this bureau? Judging from the current situation, the Hou Mansion has become an outcast, but the emperor and the Hou of Huai'an were so affectionate and righteous, and to this day, the military power in the hands of the Hou Ye has not been shaken in the slightest, and the Hou Mansion is still in power, if he is not deeply involved today, he will not notice the slightest abnormality, but the Hou Ye seems to have been waiting for this day. Be cautious, step by step, and be willing to die.

This matter can only be put down temporarily, there is still one more delicate thing at present, Mama Wu temporarily left the open house, but there can not be some little girls in this yard to serve, Wang Shaoyan has been relatively idle recently, I don't know why I mentioned this matter, it didn't take long for Liu to send an old mother.

The person was brought by Wang Shaoyan, saying that it was his nurse, who was implicated in the accident of his unangry son and was sent to the grange. Xi Cui cleaned up the room next to Mama Wu's house for her, this mother's surname is Qi, and she seems to have some identity when she is dressed. Although Qi's mother spoke politely to Xi Cui, she was a little detached, and she was also respectful to Yun Ting. Wang Shaoyan must have seen it, but he didn't mean to mention it.

Xi Cui was a little unhappy in the first few days, but Xiao Yi told her that although Mother Qi was a little arrogant, she was very heartfelt to Wang Shaoyan, and it was precisely because she felt sorry for her young master that she was dissatisfied with Yun Ting. The most important thing is that she is not from the Liu family, but only with the father and son of the Wang family.

The day after Qi's mother came over, an uninvited guest came to Luju. In the middle of the night, the third watch caused a few little girls on duty to panic. Xi Cui was waiting outside the main room at the time, and hurriedly came out to check when he heard the movement.

Several little girls were full of vigilance and panic with sticks in their hands, and a man in green clothes curled up and threw himself on the ground wailing. Qi's mother lit the lantern and took a closer look, the man's face was bruised after being beaten, and there were blood stains under his nose. When he saw Qi's mother, he pounced, hugged his leg and shouted to his mother, help.

This should be Qi's mother's uncompetitive son. Xi Cui looked at the man through the faint light. At the age of about eighteen or nineteen, his hair was messy, one eye was swollen to the point of a slit, and his face was covered with mud, and he couldn't see his face clearly. The green shirt on his body was torn with several holes, and the white underwear leaked out, which was very embarrassing.

Qi's mother's face was surprisingly ugly, and Xi Cui hurriedly sent a few maids away and helped her to send her son to her house. Seeing the strange girl, this person was quite polite, thanked him respectfully, and looked at Mother Qi's face and stood aside obediently. Without waiting for Qi's mother to speak, Xi Cui quietly went out and gently closed the door. There were a few good girls at the door, and they were drunk away by Xi Cui.

Hearing that there was no sound outside, Qi's mother glanced at her son and sat on the chair in front of him, "Gambling again?" How much do you owe this time? ”

When the man heard this, he knelt down and cried, "Mother, my son is wrong, this is the last time!" My son promises that if you don't care about me this time, I can really only collect my son's body. They were so ruthless that I watched them break a leg. ”

"Why don't they just stop talking about you and kill you!" Mother Qi slapped the table in hand vigorously, shaking the teacups on it a few times, "Is it easy for me to ask the young master to arrange such an errand for you with a shy old face?" Why don't you go to humanity? You came to beg me? Can I be rich? You shouldn't have begged the young master to save you last time, you should have asked Madame to chop off your hand! ”

"Mother, you can't do this! You're such a son as me! The man cried and hugged Qi's mother's leg.

Qi's mother kicked a few times and couldn't break free, so she could only cover her face and cry.

The next day, Xi Cui waited for Yun Ting to freshen up, and Wang Shaoyan led Yun Ting to ask for peace. Qi's mother just came out of the room, and the man had already changed his clothes after her, and his face was cleaned up, and he didn't look as embarrassed as last night. At this moment, although this person is not handsome, he can also be called Zhou Zheng, and his eyebrows are very similar to Qi's mother. A few maids looked at him with a little dodge in their eyes, and Mother Qi's face was not good.

Xi Cui greeted him with a smile, as if last night's incident had never happened. "Uncle and the young lady went to live with him, Mother Qi can be busy first if she has something, and I will just say it when the young master asks." Looking over Qi's mother, she nodded and smiled at the man behind her.

The man quickly lowered his head and covered his face. Mother Qi felt embarrassed and lost her previous momentum, and said, "There's nothing to be busy with, this is my son who is not angry, I told the young master before to tell him to run errands with the kitchen steward." I sent him over and came back. ”

As soon as the man heard that Qi's mother was going to send him out, he immediately panicked, and held Qi's mother's hand and didn't let go, "Mother, I can't go out, Liu Shun knows that person, and he will hand me over directly!" ”

Qi's mother glared at him, then looked at Xi Cui, and wanted to throw her son out, "What do you tell me to do?" I can't hide you in the open house, can I? ”

The man only lowered his head and did not speak, but his feet seemed to be sticky.

Xi Cui watched the maids put down their work and looked at them, made a look to open the maids, and pulled Qi's mother back to the side courtyard. "What's the problem with Mom? We are all serving my uncle, and we will have to respond to each other in the future, so maybe Xi Cui can help. ”

Mother Qi looked at Xi Cui, watching the girl talk and do things quite steadily these days, plus she helped herself last night, even if she was unhappy that she asked so much, her face was not good.

But as soon as the man heard Xi Cui say this, he immediately opened his mouth and begged without waiting for Mother Qi to speak, "If the girl can really help me this time, Zhao Fazi's life will be saved by the girl, and if the girl has something to do in the future, even if she speaks, Zhao Fazi will definitely stick a knife in both ribs." "I really rolled up my sleeves when I spoke, and I really had a style of sticking a knife in both ribs.

"Your name is Zhao Fazi?" Xi Cui looked at him, there was no joy or anger on his face, "I don't need you to say this, even to help you and see your mother's face." We can't do without Mother Qi to take care of her, I help her just for the two masters, if you really have this heart, just change your life and don't make your mother sad. ”

Although her words slapped Zhao Fazi's face, it made Qi's mother's face soften a lot. She also has no choice, does she really want to watch her son being beaten to death? Xi Cuiruo really helped her, and this time she will slowly repay her kindness in the future, thinking that she is only a teenage girl, how can she not do this thing?

So Qi's mother said to Xi Cui, "He owes others money, and he is chased and doesn't dare to go out, I can't take that much on me for the time being, if Miss Xi Cui can lend her mother some first, and return it from Angelica in the future." ”

"How much?" Xi Cui asked very simply, but he didn't ask Qi's mother, but looked at Zhao Fazi and said.

"One, one hundred and thirty ......," Zhao Fazi said in a low voice.

"I'll borrow you, but not for nothing. You'll have to tell me how the money was owed, and you'll have to write it. Xi Cui said and walked to his room.

Mother Qi's mother and son took a look at each other and walked over.

Xi Cui took a pen and paper and began to write notes, and Zhao Fazi stood aside and said how he owed these gambling debts. It turned out that he followed Qi's mother back from the grange a few days ago and went to see Liu Shun, the kitchen steward. Liu Shun is a gambler, and took the opportunity to go out to buy and lead Zhao Fazi to the gambling house. Zhao Fazi was driven to the Grange before because of gambling and stealing other people's purses, after this matter was found out, Wang Shaoyan pleaded and sent Zhao Fazi's wooden tools to the Grange, and the stolen man's money was not returned. But that person and Liu Shun still knew each other, so he wanted to rectify Zhao Fazi through Liu Shun's hand, and even coaxed and deceived Zhao Fazi's desire to gamble, and he won a lot in the first two days, but last night he was designed to lose one hundred and thirty taels with interest. Knowing that he was fooled, Zhao Fazi regretted it too much, and he was beaten before he desperately escaped.

After speaking, Xi Cui also wrote, but he didn't let Zhao Fazi sign it for a long time with the note, and just looked at him coldly, "Are you going to gamble again?" ”

Zhao Fazi shook his head with red eyes, "Don't gamble, don't gamble anymore." If you gamble again, you will cut me off my children and grandchildren! ”

"If you want to cut off your children and grandchildren, wouldn't you be sad with your mother? I don't listen to you, you look at the content of the note, I will hand over the note to my uncle when I go back, and if I sign it, it will be counted, and you will not regret it when the time comes. Xi Cui said and gave him the note.

Zhao Fazi took the note with trembling hands, looked at the content on it, and was stunned. Seeing him like this, Qi's mother hurriedly took the note in her hand and looked at it, and actually said that if Zhao Fazi went to gamble again, he would cut off his fingers regardless of whether he won or lost. Qi's mother was a little frightened at first glance, in the end, it was her son, and she was still distressed. But then I thought about it, as long as I could bluff him, I would break this bad tendon from now on, even if it was a broken finger, it would be worth it. Without hesitation, he threw the note over and shouted, "I should have done this to you a long time ago!" Sign, I'll watch you sign. When the time comes, if you can't do it, I'll chop it for you! ”

Zhao Fazi knew that Mother Qi was really determined this time, so he gritted his teeth and picked up a pen to write his name. Xi Cui waited for the ink to dry, put away the note, and took out two silver tickets from the purse he was carrying, "Take the money, since you borrowed it, you should pay it back." I will ask my uncle to tell the steward that from today onwards, I will receive your monthly share, and when it will be paid off, you will have the money to take it. Don't plan to take money from Mother Qi, if you take money from her and borrow from me, the interest will increase by one point. Don't say I didn't remind you, but you have already signed the word, and it is clearly written, I didn't force you. ”

Zhao Fazi "......"

Qi's mother "......"

They only cared about looking at the severed finger, and they didn't see this sentence. But the words have been signed, the money has been taken, and it is too late to regret it.

Mother Qi couldn't help but feel a little more resentful of Xi Cui in her heart, but she underestimated this girl, their mother and son were deceived like this.

After Zhao Fazi took the money and left, Xi Cui's face regained a smile, and he took Qi's mother's hand and said with a smile, "Mom, don't think about it, I didn't do this to pit you two for a few dollars." Although Brother Zhao swore by it this time, can he bet that once this thing is stained, it will be easily broken? This is just to feel at ease, he has no spare money in his hand, he just wants to gamble and has no capital, right? You have to collect your monthly money, and you can't let him coax it. At least three months can't let him see the money, as for three months later, if you see that he has really changed, the mother feels sorry for her son, and gives him a few pocket money in private without telling me, how can I know? ”

Mother Qi raised her eyes to look at the smile on Xi Cui's face, and there was no perfunctory in her eyes. After so many years of crawling and rolling in the courtyard of the deep house, she asked herself if she was still very accurate in seeing people, and the girl in front of her really wanted to help herself. Thinking back on her attitude towards Xi Cui these days, she couldn't help blushing a little, she only felt sorry for the young master, and she was so dissatisfied with a stupid young lady, but people didn't seem to have the slightest concern for herself. It's really a villain in vain.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Xi Cui didn't say more, led her out of the house, and went to the front yard.

Not long after the breakfast was ready, Yun Ting came back with Wang Shaoyan. Mother Qi greeted her with a smile, waited for the two masters to clean their hands and eat, beckoned a few little girls to serve, and said to Wang Shaoyan that Xi Cui should be tired after serving all night last night, and let her go back to rest for a while.

Wang Shaoyan was stunned for a moment when he heard her say this, but he didn't say anything, nodded and agreed.

Xi Cui went back to her room to change her clothes and prepare to rest. A little girl came in with food and said that Qi's mother asked her to send it to her, so that she could eat and rest.

Looking at a few side dishes on the table, and a bowl of hot rice. Xi Cui smiled, it seems that Qi's mother's attitude towards herself is really different. Although more than 100 taels is not a small amount for herself, she has been treated sincerely by Qi's mother. At least in Luju and even in the Wang family, she finally has a reliable helper, and this helper not only knows the Wang family very well, but also has some means. She wasn't alone anymore. Thinking about the fact that Madame gave herself so much money, if it was really so useful, she really wished to give it all out like this.

Mama Wu didn't know when she would be able to come back, she wanted to know the current situation of the Hou Mansion. Xi Yunjian was about to leave, and as soon as he left, there were really no caring people around Hou Ye and his wife. I don't know why she always feels that some things seem to be quietly carried out step by step as if they have been designed since the young lady got married, and they are all involved, and their future is worrying......

What the hell is Mama Wu doing? Is it really in the Hou Mansion?

Does she Xi Cui really have a chance to get out of this intriguing high gate and deep courtyard in this life and live the life she wants?
