"Second sister, second brother-in-law."

As soon as Lu Shan entered the door, he hurriedly saluted, sat down regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and asked the girl to put tea and fruit on his head, and instructed the little girl to wring a handkerchief to wipe his face.

Yinzhu and Xiao Zhi didn't care, after all, Lu Shan was such a person, and he was not polite to anyone.

"Brother-in-law, this is?" Xiao Zhi asked.

"Where's the fifth sister?" Yinzhu also asked.

"Baozhu went to the eighth sister's house." Lu Shan poured tea, and finally felt a little cooler, so that he could talk to Xiao Zhi in peace: "Second brother-in-law, I heard that His Majesty is going to call the local tribute stone again?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Zhi replied with a wry smile: "We Hanlin have already spoken to His Majesty, but unfortunately His Majesty didn't listen." ”

"It's all those powerful traitors in the DPRK who have seized His Majesty." Lu Shan clenched his fists and was very angry: "Don't talk about this, just say that now our Imperial Forest Army, if you don't say it, it's a joke for your brother-in-law, how many dynasties and how many generations have passed, I haven't heard of which dynasty and which generation of the Imperial Forest Army wear paper armor and paper helmets, this is not a war, just to save money and ask the Royal Forest Army to wear that training, but in case there is a war, the city is full of soldiers like papier-mâché, brother-in-law, you say you can withstand the attack of foreign enemies?" ”

"Paper armor?" Qi Yinzhu and Xiao Zhi were both startled: "Why is this so?" ”

"Isn't that all?" Lu Shan sneered: "The ministers of the DPRK and China all said that it costs too much silver to raise the Imperial Forest Army, and they also said that the Royal Forest Army eats dry food all day long and can't go out to fight, just make an appearance, there is no need to really get that iron helmet and iron armor, what do you call it, they all say that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, there is no soldier to see the sky to fight, just for this." It is ridiculous to call our tens of thousands of forbidden troops to wear only paper armor this year. ”

"It's getting more and more like it."

Xiao Zhi was also very angry when he heard this: "Isn't this chilling the hearts of the soldiers, what His Majesty did has chilled the hearts of the people, and the prime minister of the court and the central government told the soldiers not to use their lives, in the long run, how can the Great Zhou Dynasty be stable?" ”

"I'm mad anyway." Lu Shan slapped the table and said angrily: "Now there is a miasma in the forbidden army, and those who can give gifts can be promoted." Those who are honest and serious are suppressed. Moreover, since Yu Long went to Suzhou, I have no one in the forbidden army to lose my temper. There wasn't even anyone to talk to all day, so it was boring. ”

"The world is like this, my brother-in-law still wants to open some." Yinzhu sighed helplessly, and persuaded Lu Shan again.

Lu Shan waved his hand: "I know it in my heart." After all, I'm cold-hearted, and I can't stand it when I keep telling me to be angry in Chang'an. I thought about walking around and wherever I went, as long as I could go to the place and lead the troops well, after all, I didn't have any family tired, and I could stand it wherever I went with Baozhu. ”

"Brother-in-law also wants to be released?" Xiao Zhi was surprised and delighted when he heard it: "It's just right." The two of us thought of going together, and I also felt cold, and I didn't want to stay in Chang'an. I want to be a local official, since that's the case. How about our two good student activities go together? ”

Lu Shan thought about it and felt that this idea was feasible, and it was only when he went to that unfamiliar place that he began to affirm all kinds of inconveniences, and it was not much better to have relatives to take care of each other than a lonely ghost.

"Okay." Lu Shan nodded again and again: "Where does my brother-in-law want to go?" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled: "Shuzhou." ”

Lu Shan slapped his head vigorously: "Shuzhou is not bad, it is warm like spring all year round, I think the climate is better than Chang'an, the land is fertile, the crops are good, but the road is not easy to walk, but since we want to hide from Ansheng, it is just right to go to Shuzhou." ”

To be able to get Lu Shan's approval, Xiao Zhi was also very happy: "The two of us want to go together, it's okay, these **** go to the Ministry of Officials to go to the door, you also go to the Ministry of War to carry out activities, and when the order is down, let's leave together." ”

Lu Shan nodded and sighed: "Alas, I still remember how lively our relatives and friends got together a few years ago, and now it has only been a few days since we went north and south, and we may not be able to see each other sooner or later." ”

Xiao Zhi patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think about these things that you have or don't have, you can see them sooner or later." ”

Qi Yinzhu, who hadn't spoken much, spoke up at this time: "If you go to Shuzhou, you can also pass through Suzhou, let's take that road, and then go to Suzhou to see the fourth, and then discuss what we should do when we go to Shuzhou, in addition, the four brothers and sisters are good at organs, or they can help us think of ways to change Shuzhou's moat." ”

In a word, Xiao Zhi and Lu Shan were silent.

"What?" Qi Yinzhu raised his eyebrows: "Looking down on the fourth brother and sister is a woman? I also tell you that you look down on women, if you really compare, you old men are really not as good as the four brothers and sisters. ”

Xiao Zhi saw Yinzhu angry, and immediately explained with a smile: "It's really not that I look down on the four brothers and sisters, we also know the ability of the four brothers and sisters, and we usually admire it, but what you said is also a little evil, thousands of years have passed, and the road in Shuzhou is still so difficult to walk, and it is said that the Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, which is comparable to the matter of the blue sky and the fourth brother and sister to do it, don't you say it's embarrassing." ”

As soon as Xiao Zhi said this, Yinzhu lost his anger and glanced at Xiao Zhi: "If you don't try, who knows if it will work, anyway, it doesn't take much effort for us to ask, just in case it will be successful." ”

This is true, Xiao Zhi and Lu Shan both knew the temper of the girl of the Qi family, and they didn't dare to refute it, so they nodded honestly.

Lu Shan even thought in his heart that Qi Baozhu had a better temperament than her sister, and it would be unbearable to get angry and scold people like Qi Er at every turn, while thinking, Lu Shan also glanced at Xiao Zhi with concern, which means, brother-in-law, it really hurts you.

Xiao Zhi saw Lu Shan's pitiful eyes, he was angry and funny at the moment, and at the same time threw a look: "You also pretend to be with me, I don't believe how good Qi Wu's temper is." ”

Lu Shan smiled bitterly, to be honest, Qi Baozhu's temperament was not much better.

Xiao Zhi also gave a sympathetic look, take pity on your tall and mighty baby.

Lu Shan was speechless and choked.

Qi Yinzhu saw the gaze of these two people, and the anger jumped up, but she was not willing to give Xiao Zhi much shame, so she ignored these two people and got up and went out directly.

Lu Shan and Xiao Zhi saw that there was no one, so they carefully discussed, including how to move around the relationship, how to buy the person in charge of the dispatch of officials, how to go on the road if it is done, and what to do if it fails.

Lu Shan has always been a big grinning and rough character, he didn't want to be so meticulous, but Xiao Zhi was as careful as a hair, thought about a lot of situations, and waited for the two of them to discuss it properly, seeing that the sky was almost dark, Xiao Zhi stayed Lu Shan to eat, where Lu Shan was willing, he was going to leave immediately, Xiao Zhi stayed ruthlessly, Lu Shan was still not happy, but seeing that Xiao Zhi really invited him to dinner, he had to tell the truth.

"Originally, it was not easy for my brother-in-law to stay hard, but the lady had already prepared a meal at home, and I also said that I wanted to go back, so I couldn't tell her to wait, and besides, to be honest, the food of my brother-in-law's house is really not good, and it is much worse than what my wife did, and now I am used to eating the lady's craft, and it is always wrong to eat other people's food."

Lu Shan told the truth, and honestly said what was in his heart, but he almost made Xiao Zhi angry, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Stop, let's go, you have to say this in my house, and I don't care about you, if you say this in someone else's house, you are clearly a feud, you still leave my eyes quickly, and I will be angry when I look at you." ”

Xiao Zhi said such a thing, Lu Shan was not angry, and happily agreed: "Then I'll go, you and the second sister will come to my house for dinner, and I will have a good table." ”

"Foolish, you said that you are doing all this, don't leave quickly." Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth angrily.

Lu Shan smiled again before taking his leave.

Fan family

Mrs. Fan sent the matchmaker out, and looked back at Fan Wu's girl, as if she was angry or something.

She sat on the chair with anger, Miss Fan Wu came over to ask for peace, and Mrs. Fan said coldly: "Please Ann, I raised you for nothing, such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with me, do you still have me as a mother in your eyes." ”

"Mother." Miss Fan Wu lowered her head aggrievedly, moved to Mrs. Fan Er in small steps, and said carefully: "Mother is not angry, I can't help it, to be honest, I don't want to find a husband who knows and agrees, but who made my life miserable, my reputation is ruined, which other high-ranking gate in Chang'an City dares to ask me, don't say to be a wife, even a concubine, I'm afraid it's not good......"

Speaking of this, Miss Fan Wu was also very unhappy in her heart, so she cried with a whimper: "Mother treats me like a mountain, I only respect you as my own mother in my heart, I always hope that my mother can live a long life, happy and healthy, and where is I willing to make you angry, if you are really angry, you will beat and scold your daughter, but take care of your body." ”

What Miss Fan said was really sincere, and Mrs. Fan lost any anger.

Seeing the girl she had worked so hard to raise standing in front of her, Mrs. Fan felt very uncomfortable, she took Fan Wu's hand: "But you, you don't have to marry into the Yu family, what kind of family is that, the uncle of the third room of the Yu family is disgusted by His Majesty, and the good five-grade official ends up watching the garden, if you really marry him, you must not make life laugh and die." ”

"What does it matter to me if others laugh at him." Miss Fan Wu said stubbornly in a low voice, seeing that Mrs. Fan was about to get angry again, she hurriedly went over to Mrs. Fan Er's side and said, "Mother, you tell the girls to go out, and I will explain to you." ”

Mrs. Fan suppressed her anger, waved her hand and sent a room of girls out, and then turned her head to look at Miss Fan Wu, which meant that she should be careful and clear.

Miss Fan Wu sat a little closer, pulled Mrs. Fan's second wife's pong and lowered her voice: "There is a very important thing that I have never told my mother, because of the importance of the matter, I dare not reveal the slightest bit, now I dare to tell my mother, mother must not be afraid."
