This chuckle finally broke the embarrassment that couldn't be dissolved a little.

Shen Changan finally realized what he had just said in Meng Zijun's condemning eyes, his face turned red, and he couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to get into.

How can you say everything you secretly think in your heart? Now that the standard eight characters have not been skimmed, he has called his father-in-law and mother-in-law so loudly, and their impression of him must have dropped to the lowest point at this moment. Shen Changan, who doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, prayed pitifully in his heart, all kinds of immortals, can you take back what you say?

Mrs. Zheng finally opened her mouth to break the silence: "Shen Gongzi is so funny, even if you want to be the uncle of our Dingguo Mansion again, you have to wait until you marry Yu'er in the future!" Although there was a bit of a lesson, the tone was very gentle.

No matter how stupid Shen Changan was, he knew that this was his future mother-in-law who was stepping down the steps for himself, so he was excited in his heart, and blurted out again: "Yes, yes, my mother-in-law taught me a lesson." ”

Mrs. Zheng: ""

Meng Zijun couldn't bear it anymore, and coughed vigorously: "Brother Shen, you might as well sit down and rest for a while, take a sip of tea before talking." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Shen Changan saluted with a look of shame, then sat down, lowered his head and no longer dared to speak casually.

Mrs. Zheng calmed down, beckoned everyone to sit together, and ordered someone to serve tea. Except for Shen Changan, everyone present is a master of covering up their feelings, and it seems that they have forgotten all the embarrassment just now in a blink of an eye, and they have chatted casually.

When the atmosphere was a little more relaxed, Mrs. Zheng looked at Shen Changan again. With a faint smile, he asked, "I don't know if Shen Gongzi is Guigeng this year?" ”

Shen Changan bowed his head firmly just now and reflected for a long time, and learned from the pain. Make up your mind that you must behave well next. Listening to Mrs. Zheng's question, she hurriedly came back to her senses and replied respectfully: "Aunt doesn't have to be so polite. Just call the little nephew Chang'an. I was born last month, and I was exactly 23 years old. ”

This response was quite appropriate, and Mencius secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Zheng also had a smile on her face: "You are the same age as Xi Nian, but you are a few months younger than Xi Nian. ”

Shen Changan hurriedly smiled: "Although I am the same age, I am far worse than Brother Gu Shi." Brother Gu Shi became a household servant at a young age, and he was highly valued by the emperor. When it comes to that, I'm nowhere near ......."

This is quite decent, Meng Zijun was about to secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Shen Changan continue: "What's more. Brother Gu Shige married a wife in April this year, and his love and sweetness are enviable. I'm still alone, and I really don't know when I'll be blessed to marry my sweetheart. Lest others don't know what he wants to express, he also glanced at Mrs. Zheng blatantly.

Meng Zijun's face was miserable, and he silently twisted his head to the side. He was really wrong, the job of giving Shen Changan a round is definitely not something that ordinary people can do!!

…… This Shen Changan is really thick-skinned and bold, and he dares to say anything!

Mrs. Zheng is a famous lady. I have long been accustomed to the subtle and euphemistic way of speaking outside the words, and when I first met Shen Changan, who did not follow common sense and spoke outspokenly, I didn't know how to interface with each other.

Not to mention Gu Xinian, he never looked at Shen Changan from beginning to end. Hear this again...... Without concealing the extremely explicit indication, his face was almost dark. If it weren't for the demeanor of the noble son, he would have turned his face a long time ago.

Ye Qinglan has been paying attention to Gu Xinian's reaction. Seeing that his gloomy face was about to open his mouth, he knew that it was going to be bad, and he hurriedly smiled and opened his mouth to play a round: "I heard that the border war has been urgent recently. Although I stay in the house every day, I have heard a lot of rumors. Shen Gongzi is on duty in the military department, and he must be much more well-informed. I wonder what's going on now? ”

The topic couldn't be more appropriate. Nowadays, the most popular topic in the aristocratic circles of the capital is definitely related to war. Of course, the men are worried about the country and the people, and even the female relatives will inevitably have to exchange a few words when they get together. Shen Changan is the only son of General Shen, and he holds an important position in the military department, so he is certainly the best person to inquire about the military situation.

Although Shen Changan was rude and unruly by nature, he could also see that Ye Qinglan was relieving himself, so he glanced at Ye Qinglan gratefully and said: "The report from the border is really not good, and it has been defeated one after another recently. Although the casualties are not large, they have a great impact on morale. Recently, the military department is sending troops from various places to support, and the capital is also recruiting new soldiers. ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, everyone's attention was invariably attracted.

Gu Hong frowned slightly and said: "It's just a matter of sending garrisons from all over the country to support, even if the recruited recruits have been trained, they won't be able to go to the battlefield for the time being!" ”

Meng Zijun also chimed in: "Yes, I also think it is strange. Is it too hasty to recruit new recruits for training at this time? ”

"The Ministry of War has issued an official document and dispatched garrisons from Zhejiang, Hunan and other places to the border to support." Shen Changan said confidently: "However, the deployment of the garrison is only a temporary measure. The garrison must not all be transferred to the border passes, but at least some of them must be left to guard the various places, so as not to allow some bandits to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. I don't know when the war will end, and recruiting new soldiers is just in case. If the war drags on for too long, it will definitely need to be supplemented by new soldiers. At this time, recruit new recruits and train for about three months, and they can barely be used. Even if the fighting ended early, there would have been many casualties. When the time comes, new recruits can be incorporated into the army to supplement the establishment. ”

This speech is straightforward but well-organized, fully showing Shen Changan's competent and excellent side as a military general.

Gu Hong nodded secretly in his heart, his impression of Shen Changan was finally better, and his tone was much softer: "In this way, you will have to work a lot harder in the future." "Training recruits is definitely not a pleasant errand.

Shen Changan noticed the subtle change in Gu Hong's attitude, secretly happy in his heart, puffed up his chest and responded: "This is all my business, it's not hard." This is nothing compared to those soldiers who fought and shed blood at the border gates. ”

Gu Hong smiled and said nothing, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

Shen Changan received the appreciative eyes from his father-in-law-to-be, and his whole body suddenly fluttered, not to mention how bright the smile on his face was. Gu Xinian felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at him, and snorted lightly: "What you said is light, don't you need to spend money to recruit new soldiers?" The household department is already exhausted just to deal with the grain and grass of the border war, and your military department has a fluttering official document, and you have to ask the people who are busy with it to turn over the horses. ”

As soon as Shen Changan met Gu Xinian, his voice was much quieter: "This is also something that can't be helped." You can't stop conscripting and fighting because you're afraid of spending money! The silver in the treasury was taken for the people and for the people. Now that there is a war, it is even more important to put the stability of the court and the safety of the people first. Where is the silver not spent? ”

…… Saying that he is a vulgar martial artist is really a little wronged against him. I understand all the truths that should be understood!

Gu Xinian pulled the corners of his lips with a smile: "It's right that the household department is in charge of the silver in the treasury, but the places where it costs money are everywhere." You can't fight a war without spending money, so should you build a palace in the imperial city? Do you need disaster relief for the disasters reported by the provinces? Also, can the officials of the capital still be paid? Those who come to the household department every day to ask for silver can line up from here to the root of the city gate, each with its own urgency, is it not all ignored, and all the silver in the treasury is kept for the military department? ”

……

It was his turn to have a sharp tongue, and the ten Shen Changan were not Gu Xinian's opponents, so he was immediately defeated: "I didn't mean that..."

Gu Xinian glanced at him: "What else does it mean if you don't mean this?" "It's not his style to stop at the right time, it's to chase after victory!

Shen Changan had a bitter face, and he glanced at Meng Zijun again and again. Brother, hurry up and help save the day!

Meng Zijun really smiled and opened his mouth: "Why is Cousin Gu so excited. As a tobe servant, you naturally have to consider these issues from the perspective of the tobe. As a military general, Brother Shen must stand in the perspective of a military general. There's nothing to argue with either. When the country was safe and secure, the treasury of the household department must also be sufficient, and there was no need to rack your brains and bother with it. Now that the border war is urgent, it is time to test the household department. I think, with my cousin's ability, I will definitely not be stumped by these trivial things! When it comes to the last sentence, there is finally a hint of provocation and mockery.

Gu Xinian raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "What Cousin Meng said is reasonable, I really didn't pay attention to this trivial matter." ”

The two tried their best to restrain their-for-tat momentum, and only exchanged glances once, and then opened the topic as if nothing had happened.

Shen Changan was deflated one after another, and he didn't dare to say anything anymore, and then he sat there honestly all the time. Meng Zijun had the responsibility to take on the responsibility of testing the tone, and intentionally or unintentionally pulled the topic to family affairs: "...... Brother Shen is also a big man, and he hasn't married yet, let alone himself, even if I look at it, I'm secretly worried about him. ”

The same meaning, when it comes out of Mencius's mouth, is much more euphemistic and nice.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said implicitly: "General Shen is not in the capital, and there are no other elders in the mansion to take care of his family affairs, so it is indeed a little embarrassing. ”

Sure enough, there is a play!

Meng Zijun suddenly came to his senses, and said tentatively: "The elders should have come forward for lifelong events, but General Shen is at the border pass, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to the capital in the short term." If you just wait like this, I'm afraid that it will delay Brother Shen's family affairs. It's better to settle the family affairs first, and wait for General Shen's class to return to the dynasty and then get married, which happens to be a good thing. ”――
