Since Cao Jinglan returned to Beijing, she has been living in seclusion. She didn't dare to tell her father-in-law about this, because she felt very ashamed, afraid that her father-in-law would be disappointed in her, and even more afraid that she would be angry with Xu Shiqing and even kill him.

Even if she asked a doctor for treatment, she coerced and lured them not to pass it on, and even the people around her father-in-law she also took care of, if the father-in-law didn't ask, they wouldn't take the initiative to tell the father-in-law.

Cao Zhong naturally has nothing to do and stares at his goddaughter's backyard. It can be said that these goddaughters are just pets to relieve boredom for him. Therefore, Cao Zhong didn't know anything about Xu Shiqing, and he was caught off guard by the eldest princess of Lanyang today.

Now that Cao Zhong asked, the people around him naturally didn't dare not answer, and simply repeated the matter of Cao Jinglan's family to Cao Zhong.

"It turned out that Jinglan's child did a good deed, I used to think that she was quite measured and very good at doing things, but now it looks really disappointing." After listening, Cao Zhong sighed and shook his head slightly.

His henchmen were silent, but they knew in their hearts that Cao Jinglan was afraid that she would fall out of favor in the future.

Sure enough, I heard Cao Zhong say again: "It's just that the vision is poor, why don't you even have some means?" was forced to be like this by a country woman, and returned to the capital in disgrace, which was a shameful disgrace. ”

Speaking of this, a bit of coldness appeared on Cao Zhong's face, although he blamed Cao Jinglan a little, but in the end, he was short. He hated Xu Shiqing's fiancée who didn't take his daughter in his eyes even more.

"I heard that bandits are rampant in Huizhou, very hateful, bandits are cunning, maybe they are hidden among the people, and there are likely to be female thieves, so let the government there hurry up to suppress the bandits, just like treating anti-thieves, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go, and return peace to the people as soon as possible." Cao Zhong flicked his nails and commanded lightly.

"Yes, Chitose."

……

Qin's living room.

Hearing Hongyi's nervous inquiry, Qin Shu first glanced at her, and then at Song Ziyun.

Song Ziyun didn't answer the red clothes immediately, but groaned for a while, and said to Qin Shu: "This crackdown on bandits was carried out in secret, in order not to startle the snakes, I took my entourage to take the first step, secretly investigated their whereabouts, and traced them all the way to the territory of Changping County......"

Xiaoqinzhuang is located in Changping County.

Hearing this, Qin Shu's heart tightened, and he frowned slightly and asked, "Since the general has tracked down to Changping County, I think that the bandit is not far from here?" ”

Song Ziyun nodded solemnly and continued: "According to my observation, there are many rich people in Changping County, and the age in this area is slightly better than elsewhere, unlike in the north, where various disasters occur and the victims are displaced. At least the people can still eat, and it's not surprising that they set their sights on it. ”

Speaking of this, Song Ziyun sighed slightly.

It may be that seeing that Qin Shu's expression is not very good, Song Ziyun comforted him again: "Mrs. Qin doesn't have to worry too much, although those bandits also attack the common people, they prefer to rob those rich households, before the arrival of the army, first ask the county officials of several surrounding counties to cooperate in suppressing the bandits, presumably there will not be too much of a problem." ”

-- He had already sent someone back to report the news, so that the army hundreds of miles away would speed up.

Qin Shu is actually not worried about herself, if she is the only one, she is naturally not afraid, but now, she has You'an. Moreover, after living here for a year, she has a certain affection for Zhao Li's family and even the villagers of Xiaoqinzhuang, so she naturally doesn't want to watch them have an accident.

She's a little cold-hearted, but she's not really cold-blooded.

And Song Ziyun's words did not comfort her, because she went to the county government to do things, knew what those officials were, and even knew how black their hands were, and for the sake of money, they forced their wives to be separated and their families to be ruined. Compared to them, the Qin Butcher and his wife are both kind and good people. If the bandits really came, they would hide faster than anyone else, so how could they care about the lives of the villagers?

However, having said that, if General Song personally ordered it, presumably the county government would not be perfunctory!

Therefore, Qin Shu still showed a smile and said, "With General Song personally leading the troops to suppress the bandits, what else do we have to be afraid of?" I believe that General Song can successfully suppress the bandits and protect the safety of the people. ”

Hearing this, Hongyi's face also looked better, and there was a hint of pride and smugness on her face, but thinking that her master had told Qin Shu such a secret thing unabashedly, she couldn't help but worry, the master trusted this Mrs. Qin so much? He's not afraid that she has a problem?

At least she was wary of this so-called Madam Qin, and always felt that she was very wrong, and even a little dangerous.

Tie Yun laughed a few times, slapped the pectoralis major muscle, and said proudly in a loud voice: "That's right, Mrs. Qin, don't worry, with our Song family army here, none of those bandits want to escape." I, Tieyun, can beat them to the ground alone. ”

"Pacifying bandits and protecting the people is what we soldiers blame." Song Ziyun said, "Madame, rest assured, I will not disappoint Madame and the people." ”

Qin Shu nodded with a smile, but her mood was inexplicably heavy.

After hearing the deeds of General Song's Mansion, she actually admired the Song family very much. Since the establishment of the Dayan dynasty, the Song family has guarded Dayan from generation to generation, loyal to the emperor, loved the people, and respected the world.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Song family that foreign enemies do not dare to invade. However, now that the imperial court is **, the Dayan Empire is also declining, and now looking at the singing and dancing, it is actually just a matter of surviving, in this case, how long can the Song family protect Dayan?

Sometimes the bane of destroying a country is not external troubles, but internal troubles.

But this thought only flashed in Qin Shu's mind. Like the vast majority of the people in Dayan, most of the reason why she lives so peacefully and safely now is because of the protection of the Song family, why does she have a reason to say cool things here?

There are some things she can't say to Song Ziyun, so Qin Shu only said: "Since the army hasn't arrived yet, I don't think General Song has to be busy going back." The bandits are infested in Changping County, so the general might as well stay in the cold house for two more days, so as to investigate the whereabouts of some bandits nearby. Maybe what's the catch? ”

"This ......" Qin Shu's words also made some sense, which made Song Ziyun hesitate slightly, and just wanted to answer, but he heard Hongyi but flatly refused: "No!" ”

Immediately, Qin Shu and Song Ziyun looked at her.

Hongyi may also feel that her tone is wrong, and she is a subordinate after all, and she is really disrespectful to take the idea for her master, so she quickly explained: "I ...... The subordinate means that the son still has a lot of things to do, such as notifying the surrounding county officials to cooperate with the suppression of bandits, and also investigating and secretly visiting, etc., which cannot be delayed. The most important thing is that we can't implicate Mrs. Qin. If someone knows that Gongzi has stayed here for a few days, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to Mrs. Qin...... Therefore, the subordinates think that it is better to leave as soon as possible. For other things, it's not too late to talk about it when the bandits are over. ”

Hongyi's words are very well-reasoned, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, so that people can't refuse, obviously, she also knows Song Ziyun's temper very well.

Although Song Ziyun has a cold appearance, he is also very ruthless when killing enemies on the battlefield, and he is merciful from his subordinates, but in fact, he has a soft heart and never wants to hurt the innocent.

Sure enough, I saw Song Ziyun stand up and bow his hand to Qin Shu and said, "Today, Mrs. is grateful." It's just that there are still urgent matters below, and it is really inconvenient to continue to stay, so I hope that Mrs. will forgive me. ”

Qin Shu didn't have to keep people, since the other party said so, she naturally wouldn't force her to stay, but said with some regret: "Since that's the case, then invite the three of you to have lunch before leaving, and I'll let Sister-in-law Ou cook some food for you, and you can't delay much time when you take it with you on the way." ”

This time, Hongyi did not refuse, and Tie Yun danced happily.

Song Ziyun nodded gratefully to Qin Shu and said, "Then it's tiring." ”

Although Song Ziyun did not agree to stay, the two have become familiar with each other, and the atmosphere between them is much more relaxed, and they seem to be friends.

It was only at this time that Qin Shu knew that Song Ziyun's real name was actually Song Liangxiu, a very delicate and even a little feminine name. "Ziyun" is just the word he took when he was crowned last year. However, the ancients rarely called people's names, and after they had words, most of them were directly called by words. Calling someone by name and surname is actually a very impolite expression, unless that person is your elder or Shangguan.

And Song Liangxiu also knew that Qin Shu had never been married, so she changed her mouth to "Miss Qin".

Because she was afraid that Aunt Ou would not be able to do it alone, Qin Shu also rolled up her sleeves to help in the cooking, and Hongyi also followed when she saw this.

Song Liangxiu went to the backyard to see his horse, and then went out for a stroll and checked the terrain.

Zhao Li also took the big black mother and son out to eat the tender grass that had just grown to improve the taste.

When it was almost noon, Youan Zhao Sheng came back sweating profusely.

Because of the short lunch break, they had to hurry back and not lose time.

At this point, the meal is ready.

Meat buns, steamed buns, rice, pheasant mushrooms, braised roe deer meat, called flower chicken, raw lettuce, garlic spinach, etc., Aunt Ou also specially baked a lot of meat patties and vegetable cakes for Song Ziyun and them to bring.

After knowing the identities of Song Liangxiu and the others, Aunt Ou and Zhao Li were full of reverence for them, looking at him Song Ziyun's eyes, it was like looking at a god or an idol.

This is not an exaggeration, the Song family has guarded Dayan for more than 200 years, who doesn't know that the Song family is the patron saint of Dayan?

I don't know how many people worship General Song's immortal tablet at home!

The other meals are good, but General Song is full of praise for this called flower chicken, especially after knowing the easiest way to call flower chicken, he likes it even more, Tie Yun also likes it very much, and he is a little eager to try, it seems that he wants to show it.

After lunch, General Song and the three of them did not stop any longer, and directly bid farewell to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu took You'an to personally send them out and watched them leave on horseback. By the way, Tie Yun also took away two chickens called flowers, as well as a bag of pancakes, steamed buns and buns.

You'an also seemed to be a little reluctant, because after he knew the identity of General Song, he asked him for some military advice. Although his question was naïve, General Song patiently answered him. It's a pity that the time to ask for advice is too short.

You'an has been interested in military affairs since he was a child, and he is extremely talented, but he is not interested in those subsets of scriptures and histories.

Qin Shu kept this matter in mind, so he specially bought some military books for You'an, such as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Wei Zhenzi", "Thirty-six Strategies" and so on. She wanted to keep General Song, mostly for You'an.

Among the books collected by Qin Shu Space, there are also many military books, but they are all simplified. Now that she has practiced her handwriting well, she decided to copy all the books that You'an might be interested in in traditional Chinese in the future, revise them into a volume, and give them to You'an.

Seeing that You'an looked a little lost, Qin Shu touched his head and comforted, "There will be a chance in the future." ”

You'an looked up at Qin Shu and nodded, followed Qin Shu into the courtyard, and before leaving, he glanced coldly at the place where General Song left, and there was no regret or reluctance in his eyes.

At this time, Aunt Ou suddenly came out of the east wing with a panicked expression, holding a pair of fifty taels of silver ingots in her hand, and said to Qin Shu: "Madam, I saw this ...... when I went to clean the house just now."

She was excited, even frightened, and her hand holding the silver trembled slightly.

Although she was not short of food and drink in the Qin family, and the host's family often asked her to buy some things, but they were all broken silver or copper coins, but it was the first time she had touched so much silver, and she couldn't help but tremble when she held it.

Qin Shu was also stunned when he saw this, presumably General Song didn't want to take advantage of them, so he deliberately stayed, so he said: "Put it in the box and put it away first, and keep it for later use." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Ou had a backbone, and her hand stopped shaking in an instant, and she put it in a box in Qin Shu's room.

In that box was a loose silver and two copper coins, which were not locked, and the usual expenses were taken from here, but the money in the box was never less than a penny.

Qin Shu gives Aunt Ou and his wife 200 wen per month every month, Zhao Sheng also has 100 wen, and there are also red envelopes and rewards during the New Year's holidays, although it is far less than those big families, but in Aunt Ou's opinion, it is already an excellent treatment, not to mention that they don't spend money on food and accommodation, and they can save money these months.

"Mother, I went to school." You'an washed his face, packed his schoolbag, and said to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu first lit the electric puppet, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, and said, "I'll send you there!" ”
