Duanmu Xuan and Mu Yi's excerpts were sent to the capital in an expedited manner of 800 miles, in addition to the disaster situation, of course, they all mentioned Wu Jin's contributions, with one strength, saved 30 people, saved 400 horses, and even in the case of lack of food and clothing, the combat power of 400 war horses has not decreased, which is also the only thing worth mentioning in this border city snow disaster. Not only did he hand the emperor an excerpt, but Duanmu Xuan also wrote a letter to his father Duanmu Li, emphasizing Wu Jin's talent and courage, and also wanted Duanmu Li to help Wu Jin talk to him in front of the emperor.

The grain and grass for disaster relief have arrived, the victims have been properly settled, Mu Yi should have returned to Beijing to pay the decree first, but on the surface, he wanted to wait for the excerpt of the court's favor to start again, but in his heart he still wanted to see Zhongxian's interesting sister again.

Duanmu Xuan couldn't see it, and his brother for many years naturally knew that this Zichu was also attentive to the little brother, so he expressed his attitude during dinner at night, "Zichu, you and I have been brothers for many years, and I won't hide some things from you." I, Duanmu Xuan, will not marry if I am not a little brother in this life! ”

It was also the first time Mu Yi had seen Duanmu Xuan so serious, that is, when he led the troops to fight, he looked calm and light, and he had never been so serious, "Ziheng, I won't hide it from you, I have a little interest in that little girl, but I haven't moved my mind to marry." It's just that you have ever thought that your identities are so disparity that this is impossible. Even if your father doesn't object, I'm afraid that if it's your aunt's side, you won't be able to explain? ”

"The mother is free for the father to say, as long as the father can agree. What's more, Zhongxian's father was also a waiter of the fourth grade in the previous dynasty, although he was guilty of this, but he was not as guilty as his wife and children, not to mention that with the courage of their brothers and sisters, how could they not have a bright future. And the little brother is still young now, and when she arrives, Wu Jin's official position will not be just a small tun chief! ”

"Ziheng, is it possible that you want to secretly help Zhongxian?"

"Why do you need to use you and me, with the ability of the little brother, it will not be a year. Brother Zhongxian must no longer be a military household. As for what official position I will be promoted, I will have to ask you and me to help me at that time! ”

"But Ziheng, even if Zhongxian transferred to the household, he used to be a military household. Or will he follow him for the rest of his life, he will become an official in the court one day, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for his father to be reused, and even become a handle in the hands of others? Mu Yi's worries are not untargeted, and these Duanmu Xuan are not ignorant. But he doesn't care about these, no matter whether Wu Jin is a cloth cloth in the future, or an official in the court, he will decide Situ Yan. It's the only thing he's made up his mind about these days.

But he also understood Mu Yi's worries, the arguments at this time were useless, it still depended on how far things would develop, and replied to him, "Let's talk about it then!" The two of them stopped discussing these things. Instead, they discussed how to rectify military affairs, and there were no more than 10,000 soldiers in the northwest of Guanxi here, once the war started. I'm afraid that there is no way to delay until the imperial court reinforcements arrive, and the urgency of the delay is to quickly recruit strong men and serve as military households.

The two of them are busy in the border city, Situ Yan is not easy here, the temperature has warmed up in the past few days, Wu Jin took people to repair the house, so that these people can settle down as soon as possible and don't have to crowd in their house all the time. What's more, these people will all be his subordinates in the future, and even Lu Ming has become his subordinate.

Ding Gouwa and Lu Ming are repairing a house with mud. Seeing Sun Dabeard coming, the two stopped what they were doing first, sat in one place and chatted while resting, "Brother Lu." Now that you're old, you can take care of your brother more in the future! ”

"Brother Wu is still the head of the tun, why don't you go to him?" Lu Ming smiled and patted Ding Gouwa's shoulder. He also had a little unhappiness in his heart before, but now he has already figured it out, after all, Wu Jin and Qin Chahe are old times, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted. And this time it was indeed Wu Jin and Situ Yan who saved everyone, others don't know him, but they know that their brother and sister are not for promotion, so the little unhappiness in their hearts has been put down these days.

"We left Brother Wu at the beginning, or because of He Dazhuang's words, now that others are gone, only two babies are left, I don't know how to live in the future?" Sun Dabeard has also learned a rough idea from Lu Ming these days, and he also knows that this Wu Jin is different from those prisoners who came out of the house, and he will have a great future in the future, so he is also very careful on weekdays, and will not talk about Wu Jin's affairs behind his back. Seeing Lu Ming mention it at this time, he found a way to diverge.

Lu Ming naturally understood, so he chatted along with Sun Dabeard's words, "Chief Wu Tun has already decided, and he will vigorously pick up his father's affairs first, and then go to the nationality after the Chengding ceremony!" ”

"It's only like this, but it's hard for two babies!"

"It's okay, I see that the aunt surnamed Wang has been taking care of them all these days, and these two boys are living a pretty good life!" He Dazhuang's two sons, Situ Yan had already settled them properly, and Aunt Wang, who had died of her husband's son, helped take care of them, and let the two recognize Aunt Wang as their godmother, so that they would be a family in the future. And although Dali has not yet become a Ding, he also receives military rations on a monthly basis, after all, there are too few people available at this time, and even children are busy.

And the independent households also distributed their grain and grass, and even gave ten taels of silver to each household, and He Dazhuang's family gave two shares, one for Aunt Wang's and one for He Dali. It's just that others don't know that the money given to He Dali is Situ Yan's own money, and the money on the account has not been touched, and only Situ Yan and He Dali know about this matter, and even Aunt Wang doesn't know, and they are afraid that if Aunt Wang remarries in the future, she will not be able to take care of these two children if she has her own children. He Dali was already 12, and he also knew these things, so he naturally hid the money, which was their brother's life-saving money.

And the other people in the tun, living in a repaired house, looking at a room full of household goods, and still carrying ten taels of silver in their arms, were happy to praise Wu Jin, the head of the tun, which made Wu Jin's reputation a little higher.

It was only two days after leaving Situ Yan's house, Duanmu Xuan couldn't sit still in the general's mansion, and he properly arranged things overnight, and the next day he couldn't wait to ride out of the city to inspect military affairs.

Mo Feng looked at the back of the young master and was a little helpless, this Miss Situ didn't serve the young master at all, and the young master rushed over like this, and he didn't know how much he had to eat. gave Mo Yu a look, and the two slowed down their horses a little, before they dared to speak, "Mo Yu, you have the most ideas on weekdays, go and persuade the young master, this chasing girl can't be forced!" ”

"Why don't you persuade? Look at the young master's anxious look. Don't say it's persuasion, I'm afraid that if I just open my mouth, I have to let the young master send it to another place, and I can't persuade it. Let's go! ”

The two of them had to look at the young master with a smile on his face and shook his head with a sigh on his face, and resigned himself to urging the horse to follow Duanmu Xuan and do his duty as personal guards.

Situ Yan took the snow wolf into the door at this time, planning to cook lunch for the family. Most of the people who have come back from the rescue these days have been resettled, and only Lu Ming and Ding Gouwa are still living in their house. Therefore, this meal is still based on bud grain cakes and meat and vegetable soup.

I didn't want this person to enter the courtyard before he heard that familiar and annoying voice ringing in the courtyard, "Zhongxian, don't always be a general, the general calls me, we have been old acquaintances many years ago, you can just call me Ziheng." ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Wu Jin was grateful to Duanmu Xuan for his courtesy, but this gift could not be abolished. He can't leave others with the reputation of clinging to the powerful, and let his little sister be humiliated when the time comes.

Duanmu Xuan arrived in the morning and chatted with Wu Jin for an hour, but this Wu Jin just didn't get close to him, and was about to persuade him again, when he saw Situ Yan standing behind them, he couldn't help but walk towards her happily and shouted, "Little brother!" ”

"The generals and nobles are busy, and the cold house is simple. Please forgive the people for not greeting the people well, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time! ”

"No, the mountains here are empty, and the land is clean. At this time, it is a good place to go out! ”

Situ Yan had to admire what she said, "Isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open?" Still going green, there is not even a green grass on this ground, how to go green? "I also know that these are just excuses, but I don't know that this person came for her. Or for Wu Jin, if it was for her, she was not afraid, it was a big deal that God took this person's life unknowingly, but if it was for Wu Jin, then she had to think carefully to see if this person could be befriended and whether it was useful.

If Duanmu Xuan knew Situ Yan's thoughts at this time, it would be strange if he was not angry and vomited blood.

"Yan'er, don't be unreasonable to the general!"

"It's okay, the little brother is quick to talk, Ziheng has long been used to it!" Although Duanmu Xuan knew that Situ Yan was a daughter, she was dressed in men's clothes, and he was happy to call her a little brother, which was even more cordial.

"The general has a wide mind, and he will not be as knowledgeable as my little woman. We will not be accompanied. Brother, I'm going to cook! Without waiting for the two of them to react, they entered the stove room after saying a word.

"Brother Zhongxian, it's not too early this day, if I rush back and miss the meal, I don't know if I can have a meal here with you?" Mo Feng and Mo Yu couldn't bear to look at such a brazen young master again, when did they whisper so quietly to someone in order to have a stutter.

Wu Jin was also very surprised, but this person was his superior, and he couldn't refuse, so he had to let people into the hall and go to the stove room to tell his little sister to prepare more food, "Brother might as well persuade him to go back early, there is not much food at home?" ”

"Forget it, he came to inspect military affairs, as the commander of the tun, why don't you entertain one or two, you can prepare more, and do it together with those two guards, right?"

"Brother said it's okay, otherwise I'll invite them to drink the northwest wind, and they can be filled!" Situ Yan hated this Mu Xuan to the core, even if this person was dead to her, how could he do the same to Wu Jin, he couldn't wait to kick him out.

When it was time to eat, Wu Jin was fine, and Duanmu Xuan and the three of them were stunned, especially when they heard Wu Jin's words, the bud cakes on this table, the meat, vegetables, egg soup, and even two cold side dishes. And these foods turned out to be what Wu Jin and them often eat these days.

If it weren't for Mu Yi, they would have eaten the paste for several months, "Zhongxian, you didn't lie to me, you guys eat this all these days?" ”

Wu Jin thought that Duanmu Xuan was disgusted with the food, but in fact, such a meal was shabby to entertain the general, but at the moment there were not many things at home, and the little sister had prepared two more cold dishes than usual, which was already very good, so he explained to Duanmu Xuan, "Please General Haihan, the wine and food are meager, and you shouldn't entertain distinguished guests, but now there is only these grains at home, and there is nothing else, if the general is not used to eating, his subordinates can go into the city to buy another table of wine and food for the general." It's just that this lunch is going to be changed to dinner! ”

"No, Brother Zhongxian misunderstood, I was just an accident, there is not enough food and grass here for three months, how can I still eat such good food, I am in the city and live with the victims drinking mush every day!" He had already seen that the little brother didn't like him, so he had to start with Wu Jin, so naturally he couldn't let him misunderstand.

"Everything should be eaten at home, and the little sister is single-handedly purchased, as for how to arrange it, the subordinates did not ask!"

"The little brother is really different, now that I am a guest at Brother Zhongxian's house, I can't let the host's family not even have a hot meal, why don't I invite the little brother to sit together?"

This time Wu Jin understood, this Duan Mu Xuan was in the name of inspection, to hit his little sister's idea, if it was before, he would have been happy to see it, but now the two have a huge disparity, if the little sister marries this person, at most she will be a concubine, wouldn't it be humiliating the talent and character of the little sister.

The smile on his face slowly receded, and he only politely dealt with Duanmu Xuan, but did not mention the matter of letting Situ Yan enter the table. And Situ Yan and Bolt ate sweetly in the stove room, so she would not grieve her stomach for Duanmu Xuan.

"Miss, why did you say that General Duanmu came to our house if he had nothing to do?"

"If they are full, we will take care of it, and when they finish eating, they will send things away!"

"Bolt, you've seen this person before, what do you think of this person?" Situ Yan then remembered that he had seen this person as early as when he was in Lu'an County.

"Miss, when these two people came to visit the eldest young master in Zhuangzi before, they didn't let the minions serve on the side, the character or something, the slaves really don't know, but this person has a little less of the sour and rotten atmosphere of the literati, but a little like a chivalrous man." As soon as the bolt's voice fell, he remembered that the eldest young master was a literati, so didn't even the eldest young master scold, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to the eldest lady.

"Okay, I know what you mean, this sour man doesn't include his brother!"

The plug nodded hurriedly. Situ Yan asked some more details, and then she heard the door of the stove room ring three times, "Miss Situ, thank you for your meal, I don't know where to wash this bowl?" It was Mo Feng and Mo Yu who knocked on the door, of course Situ Yan also prepared food for the two of them, although they were all peasant meals, but the food for the two was more fragrant than the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and their good impression of Situ Yan also increased greatly. Although this person is not good for their young master, if the young master likes it and marries a wife in the future, he is barely worthy of their young master with his cooking skills and this body of kung fu.

Situ Yan didn't know what the two of them were thinking, otherwise she was afraid that she would lose her job directly at this time, and she would drive the two out to drink the northwest wind. (To be continued.) )
