Chapter 160: Marriage Proposal

Jiankang Tong sentenced Yuan Hong's house to be in the middle street area, this is the first time Liu Yu has come to the door, and when he got the news, Yuan Hong was also surprised, and personally opened the middle door and lowered the steps to welcome him. Since the siege of the Tartars, the two have been getting along well in the past few months, and there has never been a gap between them, which is quite a bit of sympathy.

The general judgment is also known as "Jianzhou", and the relationship with the chief official of a state is often a little delicate, but Liu Yu trusts him, not only the civil affairs are entrusted to him, but even the defense of the city is also entrusted with a heavy responsibility, so that Yuan Hong is very grateful, not to mention that Xu Mao and others made a rebellion that day, Liu Yu also personally led people to rescue his wife.

It's just that Liu Yu knows that this is just because he is lazy, he has always liked to grasp the big and let go of the small, and he is very lenient in the use of power, but he doesn't know that such a chief is more supported by his subordinates, which can be regarded as a mistake. Liu Yu knew that Yuan Hong's courtyard was rented from a wealthy merchant in the city, but when he saw that the courtyard was quite large, he knew that his home should be very solid.

All the way to the hall, the two of them sat down after a polite meeting, Liu Yu slightly looked at the furnishings in the hall, this is a very typical home of scholars, there are no gorgeous furnishings, everywhere is a scholarly noble atmosphere, the only pity is that the owner is not even a jinshi, which is the two of them are sympathetic.

"Jiyuan, looking at your complexion, I don't know if the injury last time was still in the way? What did Lang Zhong say. Two little girls dressed as maidservants served tea to them respectively, and they knew that they were all minors when they looked at the size, Liu Yu scolded the evil feudal society in his heart, and slowly skimmed the foam with the lid of the teacup.

"It's okay, there was some discomfort earlier, and then after a diagnosis and treatment, it has been seen that it is very good, the old man in the city came to the house a few days ago to see, said that there is no need to use medicine, and it will be raised for some time, according to a certain view, it has been cured now, and I want to thank Taishou for his concern." Yuan Hong arched his hand and said.

Liu Yu put down the teacup and waved his hand, he knew that Yuan Hong vomited blood last time, and there was no perspective equipment due to the conditions, and the specific injury could only rely on the medical skills of this time and space, but seeing his ruddy face and powerful words, it must be nothing.

"I don't call you a general judge, and you don't call it Taishou anymore, how long can you sit in this seat, you know, it's an eventful time, I don't know when it will be when I see you again, and you don't have to say kind words anymore, how about it? Brother Jiyuan. After Liu Yu finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Hong with a smile.

Yuan Hong knew what he meant, after this recount, it is very likely that neither of them will stay in this Jiankang City anymore, Yuan Hong is now a general judge, and then he will be promoted to Zhizhou, but it is impossible for Jiankang Mansion to let him take office, so he can only be transferred elsewhere. Liu Yu's situation is almost the same, there is no convenient communication in this time and space, and saying "goodbye" is most likely a few years or even a farewell.

"Then Yuan has trespassed, Ziqing must have something important to do when he comes this time, please speak up." Yuan Hong no longer shirked, and said directly by calling Liu Yu's words. Liu Yu's main purpose was of course to propose, but he did have other things to ask Yuan Hong, and when he heard his words, he put away his smile.

"After the war, the military states along the river have recovered a lot, and it is expected that Jiyuan should not be out of these places, no matter where it is, he will be the front line within the reach of the Tartar soldiers, and Jiyuan must be prepared." Liu Yu pointed out to him one by one with his fingers, some of which already had masters, such as Yao Zhi in Changzhou.

"What does Ziqing mean, the Tartars will return soon?" Yuan Hong was a little surprised, he knew all these places that Liu Yu said, and he thought so in private, Zhenjiang Mansion and Changzhou in Zhejiang, Hezhou and Wuwei Army in Huaixi, Taiping Prefecture and Chizhou in Jiangdong, most likely the latter ones, that is indeed the front line against the enemy.

"I hope not, but you and I shouldn't think about it, no matter where you are, arming the army is a top priority, the Tartars will not come this year, they will come next year, prepare in advance to defeat the enemy, don't think that you can sit back and relax."

These days, Liu Yu has been instilling in others the idea of preparing for war, and this is the only thing he can do, and whether he listens or not, it is not something he can control. Yuan Hong has been with him for a long time, knowing that what he expected has never been disappointed, and after listening to it, he can't help but think, and the original joy of promotion has become a little sad.

"What shall I do if the Tartars do return?" Yuan Hong thought about it and asked, this siege also made him directly realize the fierceness of the enemy, if it wasn't for Liu Yu to bring people to help in time, the city gate is estimated to have been broken a long time ago, he knows his own ability, since Liu Yu is here in person, he might as well ask for advice directly.

"If the city is strong, if there is such a strong city as Jiankang, you might as well defend the city, block the enemy under the city and wait for reinforcements, if not, just as a certain began to do, move the people, clear the wilderness, stretch the supply line of the Tartars, and do not leave the people to them." Based on his own experience, Liu Yu explained that he knew that these civil officials were unwilling to forcibly evict the people, so he specially emphasized it.

Yuan Hong didn't speak, just nodded slightly, he had seen the effect of these measures with his own eyes, so it was easier to accept, but Liu Yu said it easily, but he knew that this was not an easy thing to do, and sometimes he might have to be ruthless, whether he could do it, Yuan Hong asked himself in his heart.

"There is also food, if you want to defend the city, this is the first priority, Jiyuan, you have to personally grasp this aspect from the moment you take office, whether it is out of the treasury to buy, or to order the levy, in short, you must let the city have enough food, so that you can hold on until the reinforcements arrive." In fact, all of them know what Liu Yu said, the focus is on the practice, Liu Yu's practice is to put it bluntly, it is four words "unscrupulous", which is also difficult for people in this time and space to understand.

Yuan Hong digested these words in his heart, he understood the meaning behind them, and after watching the past few months, he also measured Liu Yu's way of doing things in his heart, even if some did not agree with it very much, but under the final result, Yuan Hong was still convinced.

After talking about some military affairs, Liu Yu felt that Huohou was about the same, so he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and planned to bring up the matter. At this moment, a woman turned out of the back of the hall, holding a child in her hand, and Liu Yu saw that it was Yuan Hong's wife and his son.

"Hearing that Taishou is coming, Nute brought Xiao'er to thank him for saving his life, and please accept my wait." After Yuan Niangzi finished speaking, she bowed her head, and the child bowed her head, Liu Yu got up and didn't want to help the woman, so she had to pull the child up.

"The eldest lady is polite, she is a colleague, she should help each other, this little thing is not gracious, this is Ling Lang, born a good person, I don't know how old I am?" The woman insisted on finishing the salute, but Liu Yu couldn't, and after receiving it, she turned the topic to the child.

"The dog Yuan Juan is ten years old this year, and he is very stubborn." Yuan Hong replied aloud on the side, although his words were all derogatory, the slight smugness on his face had already revealed his true thoughts. Liu Yu also praised a few words, and Yuan Niangzi took her son to retreat.

Liu Yu knew that this child had a higher status in history than his father, but he was born in the Yuan people, this family, the great-ancestor Yuan Shao attached to Shi Miyuan was called a traitor, and his son grew up to be a traitor, only the one in front of him insisted on refusing to be a thief, abandoned the official and fled back to his hometown.

"There is another thing that I came here today, and I don't know if it's inconvenient to talk about it." In a trance, Liu Yu woke up, and he didn't say anything serious, Yuan Hong didn't care, and arched his hand to ask him to speak.

"That red girl, I don't know if you have ever made a promise?" Liu Yu had never done this kind of thing, so he simply told him bluntly, Yuan Hong was a little stunned when he heard it, and rubbed his hands before hesitatingly speaking.

"Yinghong has been accepted as a righteous daughter by Neizi, and the body deed has been returned to her, if Ziqing is interested, you can ask, but she is too ordinary, how can she be worthy of you, it is better to let someone pick another one" Yuan Hong said with some embarrassment.

"Jiyuan, are you misunderstood, a certain is here for others, do you remember the storyteller Zhang Qingyun, they also know each other, if Yinghong is also interested, I am willing to protect this big medium." Liu Yu couldn't listen to it anymore, and interrupted him with a loud voice, he didn't even have an impression of what Yinghong looked like, how could he think of his head, this is too wrong.

"I see, very good, very good, the day before yesterday, my husband and wife were still saying that they wanted to find her a good family, since it was Ziqing as a guarantor, it must not be wrong, the two have met again, there is no need to ask her again, and a certain person can agree." When Yuan Hong heard this, it turned out to be the case, and immediately made a guarantee, and the two glanced at each other, and they both smiled "hehe" for this little episode.

It was almost night in Lin'an Mansion, Chen Yizhong, who had been busy for a day before returning home, changed into his regular clothes and sat in the study, only when he became home did he know how heavy this matter was.

"Enxiang, this is a greeting post sent by the porter, the person is already outside the house, and he just entered the city." The staff of the house walked in with a poster, Chen Yizhong didn't blame him for disturbing himself, this person knows how to measure, since he said so, the person who came must be useful.

"Lu Hideo?" Chen Yizhong seemed to be a little familiar when he saw the name pasted, but after a busy day, his brain was a little messy, and he couldn't remember it.

"Baoyou is a four-year jinshi, and the leader of that subject is Wen Tianxiang." The staff reminded in a whisper on the side, Chen Yizhong suddenly remembered that there were also Xie Fangde and Hu Sansheng and others in this section, and this Wen Zhuangyuan had just been appointed as the deputy envoy of the pacification system of the two Zhejiang provinces and the governor of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and he was out of Beijing.

Looking at his place again, this person turned out to be from the curtain of Li Tingzhi, the ambassador of the Lianghuai system, Chen Yizhong's spirit was lifted, he must have brought Li Tingzhi's letter, what kind of news would it be, and he was curious.

"You go and bring people in, and here you will see him." Chen Yizhong waved his hand and said to the staff. R1058
