Zhang Qing said suddenly, and Jia Jiu was just about to answer, when he heard someone outside report: "Girl, General Zhang, a fourth-grade guerrilla general, brought his daughter to visit the master, and the master has left General Zhang to eat and drink outside, and the master said, please don't neglect Miss Zhang." ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he said quickly, and handed over Jia Cong to the two of them to take care of the two of them, and he took the Zhang sisters out to greet him.

I saw Zhang Cuifeng holding a small box in his hand, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Sister Jia, I've come to see you." The four of them had seen each other in the main hall, and then they sat down in the suite to have tea. During this period, Jia Jiu also cautiously introduced the Zhang sisters to Zhang Cuifeng.

Zhang Cuifeng was very happy: "My surname is also Zhang, and we were still a family five hundred years ago." When we first met, I didn't have anything good to give you, but this is the horn scimitar I got when I was at the border, although it is not a precious thing, it is also a rare thing. You can play with it. As he spoke, he untied the scimitar from his waist.

Seeing this, Jia Jiu hurriedly smiled: "Since these two scimitars are tied to my sister's waist, they are obviously my sister's beloved things." Gave them two, sister didn't have a guy who didn't take advantage of it? ”

Zhang Cuifeng waved his hand and said, "Although it is said that good knives are rare, if our people are limited by the guys in their hands, wouldn't they be able to lose their lives on the battlefield at any time?" At our border, the guy he used rolled his blade and went directly to grab the barbarian's knife, which is a common thing. By the way, Sister Jia, this is for you. ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, looked at the other party, and saw that the other party was looking at him expectantly, so he had to open it and take a look. What is that set of red gold jewelry that is not your own?

Zhang Cuifeng was surprised when she saw Jia Jiu and touched her head. said: "Thanks to my sister's good idea, I also owe it to Queen Taishang's mother." This time we raised a full four million three hundred and seventy-seven thousand six hundred taels of silver. In addition to giving three million taels to the treasury. There are more than 1.31 million left, which is more than enough to buy this year's military rations. So I redeemed my sister's jewelry and sent it to you myself. I remember my sister saying that a girl's jewelry should not be left behind. Here is my gift to you, the stone I have secured at our border. I always feel that this stone is a little strange, as if it can transmit light, it should be a treasure, so I brought it all the way, and now I will give it to you. It can be regarded as a thousand miles to send goose feathers, and the gift is light and affectionate. My sister doesn't want to be disgusted. ”

Jia Jiu was stunned for a moment, took off the upper layer, picked up the stone and looked at it, sure enough, looking out of the window, it really looked like it could transmit light.

Jia Jiu said: "Could this be the original stone of jade?" I've heard of this, and I say it's called a seed jade material. If it is really opened, it will be worth a lot of money. Sister Zhang, didn't you say that the border pass is paid for the military? Why didn't my sister find someone to open it? ”

Zhang Cuifeng said with a smile: "You also know that I am from a military family, and no one in my family understands this." If I take this out. Even if they are slaughtered, they don't know. I heard that General Jia likes to play with antique toys the most, and he also studies jade and other things. Giving this to you is also a complement, if he stays in my house, he can only stay in the pickle jar. ”

Jia Jiu listened. Immediately, I thought of a four or five hundred years old antique jar with a piece of jade pressed into it, and then the owner proudly said that this jar was really quacked for pickles, and invited colleagues from wealthy families to taste the pickles made by their family. The joy of that scene was indescribable, and I couldn't help but laugh at the moment: "Since my sister said so." Then the little sister is welcome. ”

Seeing that Jia Jiu finally smiled, Zhang Cuifeng was also relieved. Seeing the green on Jia Jiu's face again, he couldn't help blushing and said, "It's all mine, it's me who has caused my sister." Is my sister's face okay? What did the doctor say? ”

Jia Jiu said: "What is this? Sister, have you forgotten that our ancestors were also military generals? If you let the old ancestor know that I, a descendant, mobilized the people for such a little injury, I am afraid that his old man will come down from the sky. It's okay, it looked terrible before, but today, not only is it scabbed, but the pus is also up. My sister looked so strict, but I just squeezed out all the pus and poisonous blood. This medicine has also just been applied, so it looks very scary, but it can be cured in a few days. ”

Zhang Cuifeng said: "Really? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Naturally, it's true. ”

Zhang Cuifeng said: "If that's the case, then I'll come back when I leave." I have to see you well. ”

Jia Jiu said: "As long as it is convenient for my sister, just come." ”

Zhang Cuifeng said: "Then it's decided." ”

As the daughter of the border general, Zhang Cuifeng is used to seeing life and death on her face. In other words, it's not good, he himself has such scars! In fact, the idea on Jia Jiu's face hurt his face, and he didn't care at all. It's just that he knows that Jia Jiu is going to run in the future, so he is extremely nervous. Now that he saw that Jia Jiu didn't seem to really take this seriously, he also threw it away.

Zhang Qing has always been lively, and when he saw that Zhang Cuifeng was from the border pass, he also said at the moment: "Aunt Zhang, what does the border pass look like?" I've heard that Saiwai is covered in snow and ice for half the year, so how long does it take for him to see the grass? How tall can grass grow on a prairie? Can you really cover the cattle and sheep? ”

Zhang Cuifeng was also excited when she heard it, and immediately said: "You are asking the right person." There are only three months of abundant grass on the grassland, and only when the grassland is full of grassland, people on the grassland can let the cattle, sheep and horses free their bellies to eat. It's just that they are full, and the horses are fat, so they are ready to go south to fight the grass valley and go back for the winter. Therefore, autumn is also the time when those barbarians are most rampant, and it is also the most difficult time for our border soldiers. If it weren't for Sister Jia to come up with my ideas this time, I'm afraid this year will be more difficult than in previous years. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Speaking of which, didn't my sister hand over three million taels of them to the treasury? Can the court make up the ordnance for you? ”

Zhang Cuifeng nodded again and again: "It's made up." That's why I said, this year is better. If you only have food and grass and no armaments, it is equivalent to letting those barbarians rob them. You don't know how hateful those brutes are. Did you know? We thought they were plundering women and children because of the tribe's need to reproduce, but in fact, nine times out of ten, the people who were taken away would be killed by them in the first winter and used as rations! ”

With a scandium snort, Jia Jiu touched the teacup in his hand and said, "Sister is saying that they eat people?" ”

Zhang Cuifeng said: "Yes." What the people on the grassland are most afraid of is not our Great Qi nor the Jin Kingdom and Great Qin in the west, but the heavy snow. It's good to get closer to the south, but the further north you go, the more bitter cold it gets, and many places are covered in snow for half of the year. The people of the steppe call Daxue the White Lord, and instead, they call us Nangou or two-legged sheep, livestock that can be killed at any time. What makes people angry is that there are still people in the court who think that they can pass the test by sending grain and grass to the barbarians on the grassland! What a fucking shit! They knew that only heavy snow and hunger would be able to drastically reduce the number of barbarians, and that only a great reduction in the number of barbarians would the scale of their southward march be reduced in the coming year. If you send food to them and let them tide over the difficulties, then there will be more people who will go south to plunder in the coming year! ”

Zhang Cuifeng said a lot, and when she finished speaking, she found that the faces of the other three girls sitting on the side were not good-looking.

Zhang Cuifeng said apologetically: "I'm sorry, did it scare you?" ”

Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "We didn't know these things before. Sister Zhang, aren't you going to prepare grain and grass? When will I go back to the border? ”

Zhang Cuifeng thought for a while and said, "If the food and ordnance are to be tidied up, it will take ten days and eight days." I'm about to go, and it's going to be half a month ago. What's wrong? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Didn't my sister say it? There are officials in the court who have the idea of buying peace with grain and grass, which is obviously a relationship that they do not understand about the border pass. In our family now, only my father has a false title, but my brother's maternal grandfather is a former household secretary, and several uncles and even cousins are high-ranking officials. If you can move the grandfather of the Zhang family and ask the old man to help, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Zhang Cuifeng was overjoyed: "Really? Then I told my father, and we slowed down and stayed in the Jingshi for a few more days. ”

Zhang Qian interjected: "Aunt Zhang, please forgive me for being rude. At this time, it is the season for summer grain to be on the market, and the big grain merchants in Beijing are busy vacating their warehouses to facilitate the storage of new grain. Now the rice grain on the market is the cheapest. After a while, the price of food may go up. My aunt also has to prevent people from hoarding grain and raising prices. ”

Zhang Cuifeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Then I will delay in Beijing for two more days." It's a big deal, I'm going to catch up. Sister Jia, as soon as you are ready, you will be tired. ”

When Jia Jiu heard this, he hurriedly ordered Xiaohong to take a pen and paper, and raised his hand to write: [Grandfather's honor: ......

wrote down the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and then said that he was a weak woman and hoped to add a distraction to the country, to meet the desire of the border soldiers to get the understanding of the imperial court, and to get Zhang Xixian's approval. What was attached afterwards was what Zhang Cuifeng said today. In the end, he said later that Zhang Cuifeng would wait for the summons in Beijing.

After the letter was written, Zhang Cuifeng couldn't help frowning, Jia Jiu's handwriting was so bad that Zhang Qian couldn't help but say: "Auntie, if you can, how about having your niece write it for you?" ”

Seeing that Jia Jiu had no objection, he copied the letter, slightly polished it in a few places, and changed two places that were not very respectful, and then handed it over to Jia Jiu, who sent someone to Zhang's house.

PS: It seems that the elders are respectful, not Taijian. Changed. (To be continued......)
