Liang Jinzhao's letter and gift, Qin Xiaochuan, were directly handed over to Qian Yixiu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The gifts were snacks and sweets made in the imperial dining room, ten palace flowers, a few strips of ink and a pen wash. Although the distribution of the gifts is not explicitly stated, the first two gifts are obviously for Qian Yixiu, and the last two gifts are for Qian Yijin.

She took Uncle Liang's letter and looked at it carefully. After reading the letter, Qian Yi was full of slander. The bear child is a contradictory unity.

Sending snacks and palace flowers to yourself must see yourself as a ten-year-old girl who is ignorant of the world. Even if you think of yourself as a young girl, you won't give these two things. Even if this dynasty is more enlightened, it will not give women head flowers with great fanfare. Isn't this nothing to do, and it's reverie?

And this letter was written to see herself as an adult, so that she could share his success and joy with him.

Uncle Liang told her that he was very happy that he and her father, General Qian, had become good friends (in fact, someone wanted to write about good brothers, but because he didn't want to be an uncle, he reluctantly wrote as friends). He also told how King Ning was interested in his grand plan, and asked the Holy Lord to make him a guerrilla general, and gave him 5,000 soldiers and 500 war horses, so that he could form what he said was an army that specialized in the use of firearms. At the same time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry immediately mobilized craftsmen to manufacture three-eyed guns and artillery on a large scale. He also gave his army a very imposing name, Camp Perak......

Qian Yixiu didn't expect that the predecessor of the Shenji Battalion or Firearms Battalion in this era was founded by Uncle Liang. She seemed to remember that the Ming army defeated the Mongol cavalry with firearms. If Perak is built, it can be said to be of epoch-making significance.

Uncle Liang may really be crowned a marquis because of this. And that Jiao Fa, is he the father of firearms?

Qian Yixiu was also happy for Uncle Liang.

After dinner, Qian Yixiu heard that Qin Xiaochuan had rested, so he went to the front room and asked Qin Xiaochuan to talk more specifically about the Perak camp.

Qin Xiaochuan said, don't look at Liang Shizi's sudden promotion to guerrilla general, his majesty is tight. In fact, he had a sword hanging over his head at any given moment.

Because, the emperor and the courtiers were not optimistic about him and his suggestions. felt that he was a seventeen-year-old boy who had not dried up, even if he was a personal disciple of Master Sorrow, he was not enough to take on this great responsibility. The other is not optimistic about firearms, believing that they are bulky and impractical, and that they are too far behind crossbows and bows. At this time, it is the time to employ people, and it is a complete waste to give him such soldiers and horses.

However, King Ning overrode public opinion, and Liang Jinzhao made a military order, saying that if the Perak battalion could not defeat the enemy, he would present the head of the army.

Qin Xiaochuan gossiped again, "I heard that General Liang's mother didn't want him to take risks, so she hanged herself a few times." ”

If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, Uncle Liang really played big this time.

Qin Xiaochuan will leave tomorrow, he will not enter Beijing, but will go north directly to the border pass. Then let's prepare my little daddy's things first, and let him bring the letter and gifts to Uncle Liang when the shopkeeper Cui enters Beijing at the beginning of the month.

A few pairs of cotton shoes and a few sets of cotton gloves made by the Wu family for Qian Manjiang, a few sets of obscene clothes/pants made by Cheng Yue and a mandarin duck handkerchief that symbolizes love, all of which he carried. Forget about other cotton clothes and pants, there are too many things to take away.

Qian Yixiu's venison jerky and wild boar jerky made a few days ago came in handy. These meats don't need to be cooked, they are delicious and hungry, and they are not afraid of spoilage.

The jerky was basically brought, and only two catties of each were left for Uncle Liang.

I also brought two catties of tea that Qian Manjiang loves to drink, and five catties of lotus root powder. In addition, written by Qian Yijin and dictated by everyone, he wrote more than a dozen pages of letters that conveyed the feelings of the whole family.

After sending Qin Xiaochuan away, the family became sad again.

The next day, there was a major incident in the village, which distracted the sad Qian family, except for Cheng Yue, of course.

In the evening, Wang Lizheng, who had returned from the county government, summoned the representatives of each family to the north of the village for a meeting. Qian Sangui was not in good health, so Old Man Cai replaced him.

Old man Cai came back and said that the court was going to recruit soldiers again. This time, there is no conscription quota in the third room of the Qian family, but there is one in the big house and the second room. The men of these two families will definitely not go, just pay twenty taels of silver.

In the evening, Qian Liang's father and mother came, and their family also set up a quota and wanted to borrow five taels of silver. Qian Liang is the grandson of the second grandfather, and he is also relatively close to the third room of the Qian family. Although I made some money with them, I didn't earn as much as the Qian family's big house and second house.

Qian Liang's father said, "If it had been earlier, my family's silver would have been enough, but the family only bought a few acres of land a few days ago, and the silver would have been shorter." Nowadays, many families are selling their fields to raise money, and the land must be cheap, so they don't want to sell their land. Thinking of borrowing a few taels of silver from the nephew of Sangui, he will pay it back in a few months. ”

Qian Sangui didn't say a word, smiled and asked Wu to take five taels of silver to him.

The next morning, Mrs. Hua also came, and her family also set up a place.

Her eyes were red, and her spirit was a little sluggish, as if she had lost a lot of weight overnight. She said, "Master Qian, Mrs. Qian, can you pay us my strong son's salary in advance for ten years." You also know that my nymphomaniac is useless, if he goes to the front line, before he can kill the enemy, he will be scared to death. My strong son was only fifteen years old, and the family began to kiss him. Many little ladies took a fancy to him, saying that he was strong, willing to endure hardships, and worked as a long-term worker in Mr. Qian's house, with a lot of wages. I can't bear to send him to death......"

As he was talking, Hua Qiang came, and he was now a man more than seven feet tall.

He saluted Qian Sangui and the Wu family, and said, "Master, madam, don't listen to my mother, you don't need to pay my salary in advance, I will go to be a soldier." He said embarrassedly, "After I leave, can I ask my master to let my younger brother Hua Zhuang fill my shortage." Don't worry, sir, although my strong son is only thirteen years old, he can endure hardships and is willing to work hard......"

When the flower lady heard her son's words, she cried and shouted, "Qiangzi, you have to listen to your mother." ”

Hua Qiang persuaded his mother, "Mother, listen to your son, that's right." The father of the family is not useful, the mother's age is slowly getting older again, and the younger brother has to marry his daughter-in-law to build a house and borrow so much silver, when will he be able to pay it back......"

The mother and son began to argue, but the flower lady didn't let Hua Qiang go, and Hua Qiang must go. In the end, Hua Qiang won the battle, and the flower lady cried and agreed to her son to go to the front.

Qian Sangui said, "Qiangzi, listen to your mother, just pay your wages in advance." We don't urge you to pay back, you can pay it back at any time. ”

Hua Qiang bowed to Qian Sangui and said stubbornly, "Thank you, master, I know that my lord is kind, but I still don't want to borrow so much money." If I don't go to the army, I'll be fifteen years old, and my brother and thirteen brothers will have to marry a daughter-in-law and build a house in two years. There is such a large debt, and the burden on the family is too heavy. I don't want my mother to work too hard...... Besides, not everyone who goes to the battlefield will not survive. Just like Uncle Qian, he not only survived, but also became a general. ”

When Qian Sangui heard him say this, he nodded and asked his younger brother to come to the house to work as a long-term worker. He also said that he would come to the house again before leaving, and he wrote a letter to Qian Manjiang and asked him to take care of Hua Qiang.

Qian Sangui likes to be strong, loyal, self-reliant, filial, family-oriented, and successful.

Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Hua were very happy when they heard this, and after thanking them for their kindness, they left.

A few days later, Old Man Qian, Mrs. Qian, Qian Dagui, Wang's family, as well as Duoduo and Jinwa all came to the garden to play.

As soon as Old Man Qian came, he began to scold Qian Ergui and Tang.

It turned out that Qian Manduo's in-laws also set up a place, so she let her man Li Shuzi go.

Qian Manduo came back and cried, and asked Tang to "borrow" twenty taels of silver, and did not let Li Shuzi go to the army to die.

Tang was penniless, and he asked for money again.

Qian Manhe didn't want to give it, and scolded, "The Li family has three sons, and the other two sons have three sons. Why let my brother-in-law, who has only one son, go? The Li family's good plan is to let our family help his family with money, and the men of his family don't have to be soldiers. ”

Tang and Qian Manduo cried and made trouble, and Qian Ergui also scolded Qian Manhe for only recognizing money and not people, how could he watch his brother-in-law go to death?

No, Qian Manhe had to let Xiao Wang take twenty taels of silver out. said, "Second sister, I can't afford to be a sister like you." Today, I will talk about the ugly things in front of me, this year's dim sum is a loss, and the output of lotus ponds and fields in a year is only so much money. This time, my family also spread a ding, and I have already paid all the money I earned today. These twenty taels of silver are the balance of the family's previous years. Now that there is no money left at home, you should not come to the house to eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and eat ”

Qian Manduo agreed, and happily took the silver back.

In the evening, a few scoundrels in Luliu Village somehow knew that Li Shuzi had a "huge amount of money" in his hands, and they asked Li Shuzi's second brother Li Zhuzi to coax Li Shuzi out, and several people joined hands to win all the twenty taels of silver.

Qian Manduo wept and refused to take out the money.

Those scoundrels were also arrogant, and Lai refused to leave at Li's house, saying that he would pull her son Li Acai out and sell him.

Qian Manduo's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, said, "Your mother's family is a big proprietor, and there are so many fields and lotus ponds. Let them have twenty taels more than that. ”

Qian Manduo cried, "My mother's dim sum restaurant has lost a lot of money, and I heard that I can't even get a red this year." They have given me twenty taels of silver, and my brother has also been drawn and paid twenty denarii. Now, where do they have more money for me? ”

Mrs. Li came up with another idea and said, "Your mother's third uncle has a lot of money, and they all say that his family's silver is as much as water in the Honghe River, and he can't spend all the flowers, so you can go to his house to borrow it." I still don't believe it, the third uncle of my in-law can still watch my niece and son-in-law go to the battlefield to die. In that case, the folks still have to poke his backbone? ”

So Qian Manduo came back to discuss with her mother's family, she really wanted Qian Ergui to help her go back to the garden to find Qian Sangui to borrow money.

Qian Ergui was reluctant at first, and scolded, "You usually don't know how to have a good relationship with others, especially your mother, whose mouth smells like a stone in a pit." Now that I have sinned everyone to death, I have no face to borrow money. I know that when you say borrow, you actually want to borrow. ”

Tang and Qian Manduo cried again, and Qian Ergui was a little shaken. Qian Manhe resolutely did not allow Qian Ergui to go, saying that the third uncle was not in good health, and when the time came, he would be angry again. Now the third uncle is not as good as in the past, and his son is a big official of the fifth grade. If you make him angry, you will go to jail......

When they were arguing, Dewa had already quietly gone out to find the old man. When the old man Qian came, he drove Qian Manduo away, and scolded Qian Ergui and Tang, and even Qian Manhe scolded him together. said that the full amount of money is to fill the hole of dissatisfaction, and she will not even be allowed to give her a penny in the future.

Old man Qian sighed, "Hey, marry a wife and marry a virtuous, why did the second child marry the Tang family's stirrry back at that time?" didn't teach his daughter well, and was deceived by Li Shuzi to marry the Li family at a young age. Several nearby villages know that the Li family is all lazy and lazy, and one eats two......"

Qian Dagui also said, "Now that the second brother is getting older, the more confused he becomes, and the mother and daughter are making trouble." Duo Niang's in-laws were even more shameless, and they also beat the idea to the third brother's house. ”

Mrs. Qian said, "The second child is really, we all know that he still has more than a hundred taels of silver at home." They were reluctant to take it out again, and they were embarrassed to come to the third child to ask for it. He listened to whatever his mother-in-law said, and his ears were softer than flesh. Useless stuff. After saying that, he was so angry that he stomped on his crutches.

Qian Sangui sneered, "Then the Li family treats me as a wronged leader, and the second brother is also ......" He was embarrassed to say the following words.

Wang Shi smiled, "My family has already paid twenty taels of silver to my eldest brother, and Manchuan doesn't have to be a soldier." This is also thanks to the third uncle, if you didn't take the head of the family to do business with Manchuan and buy lotus ponds, where would the family find this money? My family Manchuan had to go to the border to suffer......" opened a burden he brought with him, pursed his lips and smiled, "It is said that drinking water should be thought of the source, thank you third uncle." I specially asked Manchuan's daughter-in-law to make a thick cotton robe for the third uncle, using fluffy new cotton, and also made a pair of cotton shoes with mille-feuille soles. We know you don't lack these things, but that's what we're all about. ”

The cotton robe and cotton shoes are all silk-surfaced, and the workmanship is also fine, and the word Fu is embroidered on them.

Wu took it with a smile and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you have a heart." ”

Old man Qian also nodded with satisfaction. said, "The family and everything is prosperous, and the eldest daughter-in-law must not do foolish things anymore." ”

Wang's face flushed, and he smiled, "Dad, why are you still holding on to the old things." I knew I was wrong, and I won't. ”

Qian Sangui was also happy and left them to have dinner in the garden.

A few days later, I heard from the old man Qian that the list of soldiers had been reported. Li Shuzi had no money, so he had to go to be a soldier, so the Li family hated the Qian family, saying everywhere that the Qian family did not recognize relatives but only money, and Qian Manduo also went to the second room to cry a few times.

also said that Fan Erhezi was also going to be a soldier.

Wu scolded, "That immoral thing, I hope he dies outside and doesn't come back." ”
