Chapter 735: The Sound of Drums and Horns (7)
Luotian County, Shuangxi Village, Mei Family Mansion.
This compound, which was abandoned by the Mei family in the countryside, after more than ten days of intense cleaning, redecoration, and once again rejuvenated, Meihua's old son Mei Yipo put his hands on his shoulders and looked at the busy people with pride. This year, for him, can be described as a year of complacency and good things come in pairs.
Back then, he sent Mei Hua to join the army, but it was because this little son was too unsuccessful, unsuccessful, not martial, and not even had the mind to do business.
Thinking of his son's teary eyes when he left, Mei Yipo still has some heartache, but there is no way, who calls himself a well-known landlord in Luotian County, after the Eastern Army occupied Hejian, he also carefully inquired about some policies of the Eastern Army, from his friend, where is the Luotian County Order, he heard some news that made him tremble.
It is better for the Eastern Army to seize the fields of those big landlords and distribute them to the poor people, in exchange for the support of those poor people, of course, they will find out in advance the facts of the big landlord's various violations of discipline, in fact, the family business has reached a certain point, and how many are clean? Even if you just have a reputation for being stingy and stingy in the township, the rest is not bad, but if you really want to find out, your ass is definitely covered with shit, not to mention, even if you can't find anything else, after you have a charge of connecting with foreign countries, isn't it just that those chiefs touch their lips up and down?
However, if there is a soldier in the family who is in the Eastern Army, the outcome will be very different.
It is based on this consideration that Mei Yipo does not care about the opposition of his family. insisted on sending Xiao'er to the Eastern Army. In fact, he did get some benefits later, because at that time, he still had great doubts about participating in the Eastern Army, the people in Luotian County, a good man should not be a soldier, this is the experience passed down from his ancestors.
Because of Mei Yipo, a famous landlord, he was the first to send his son, which opened a gap for the Eastern Army to recruit troops in Luotian County, which made the recruitment task in Luotian County extremely smooth, afterwards. Mei Yipo was also rewarded, although the land was still collected, but every acre of land was compensated for the market price at that time, and more importantly, as an advanced element, he was introduced to the four seas trade, and thus became a member of it. For the past two years, his fortune has been based on the trade of the four seas. It has multiplied several times, and the net worth is no longer the same as before.
This also made him often sigh that he was really a frog in the well back then, and he didn't know the size of the world. I only know that I am a rich man who guards those lands, but how can I know that the world outside is so vast.
Wealth increases, and that's just a joy. The second joy made him even more ecstatic, the youngest son who was the most unsuccessful at the time had been polished in the Eastern Army for a few years. When he came back, he was already a battalion general, and he was a senior officer commanding thousands of soldiers!
In Mei Yipo's opinion. The battalion general is already amazing. His friend, the Luotian County Commander, now only has more than 100 county soldiers in his hands.
Intentionally planting flowers and flowers is not alive, and unintentionally planting willows and willows in the shade, Mei Yipo has to sigh that his luck is excellent. However, the kid still seems to be resentful of himself, and in the two years of that year, he never even wrote a letter to his family, and he didn't even say a word about such a major event as becoming a battalion general.
A few days ago, the news of Gong Dezhi's arrest came from Dafang County, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, Gong Dezhi is the representative of the merchants of Hejian County in the four seas of commerce, and is also one of the largest shareholders in Hejian, and he has a lot of dealings with him, when he heard that this person actually colluded with the people of Qin to plot against him, Mei Yipo was shocked and afraid, and then the Eastern Army Supervision Institute cleaned up like a thunderbolt in the entire Hejian County, which scared Mei Yipo even more so that he did not dare to go out.
Luotian County also came to the officials of the Supervision Yuan, after getting the news from the county order, he almost fell to the ground, he was not an undercover agent of the Qin people, but he couldn't stand the relationship with Gong Dezhi, but after these officials came to Luotian, when they saw themselves, they just asked a few words casually, and they didn't embarrass themselves at all, and the guy named Wang Xiaoer who took the lead actually gave himself a thumbs up and congratulated himself on giving birth to a good son.
Thinking of this, Mei Yipo couldn't help but smile, the youngest son who was the most uneasy back then seemed to be the pillar of the Mei family!
"Dad, take a look, the happy word over there is still pasted, right? And those colored silks, is it okay to hang like this? The eldest son, Mei Pu, was sweating profusely and ran over.
"Okay, all right!" Mei Yipo was interrupted from his train of thought, and waved his hand angrily, "Has the second child come back?" ”
"The second brother went to purchase supplies, the amount is so large, I'm afraid I will be able to rush back in the evening!" Mei Pu said respectfully, unlike Mei Hua, he and his second brother Mei Su were very afraid of this father.
"Okay, okay, you can do it yourself, what do you know about the Wu family's small family!" Mei Yipo said angrily. Mei Hua's kid is still not worrying, when he gets home, his ass is not hot yet, no, he didn't sit at all, the kid's ass was broken, I heard that he had violated military discipline, looking at the bloody ass, Mei Yipo was distressed, and at the same time worried that his son had violated military discipline, I don't know if it would have an impact on the future, now the Mei family, but they have to rely on him to support it!
Thinking of Mei Hua's first words when she saw her, Mei Yipo was angry, instead of greeting her father, mother, brother and relatives, she dropped a sentence as soon as she opened her mouth: "Dad, I want to marry Wu Wanjun, you help me to propose marriage." ”
What is the Wu family? In the past, it was just a tenant in his own family, and there was really no tile to cover his body, and there was no footprint under him, how could he be regarded as the No. 1 celebrity in Hejian County, how could he marry the daughter of such a tenant as a daughter-in-law? But as soon as his words came out, the muddy boy actually lifted his burden, turned around and limped out of the house, saying that he was going to be the son-in-law of the Wu family, and almost made Mei Yipo so angry that he fell to the ground on the spot.
The son's wings are hard, and he didn't dick himself as a father before, but now that he is a battalion general, he has great power, and the Mei family still has to rely on him to support him, if he really lets him become a son-in-law, he will not be alive anymore, but he is afraid that the spittle of relatives and friends can drown him.
There was no choice. I could only pinch my nose and agree, but fortunately, after the final inquiry, the kid from the Wu family, the Wu Ya who went to serve as a soldier with Mei Hua, is now also a battalion general, and he can be regarded as a reluctant leader.
Mei Yipo, who was helpless, still invited Luo Tian's county commander to come to the door to be a matchmaker in person, and the county commander was also very happy, after all, now the Mei family and the Wu family are all officers of the Eastern Army. And he is so young, his future prospects are naturally limitless, and having a relationship with them is of great benefit to his future, so he happily became this matchmaker right now.
Lang is affectionate, the concubine is intentional, the county order personally comes to the door as a matchmaker, what can the old couple of the Wu family say, they are stupid and only know how to laugh. I only know how to nod, but it is the Wu Ying general, who seems to have some opinions.
Thinking of these, Mei Yipo was unsuitable. It's not up to my father.
There was a jingling sound in my ears, and when I turned my head, I saw the unconscious boy walking over on a crutch, and the smile on his face was as if he had just fallen and picked up a large piece of dog's head gold.
"Daddy." Mei Hua screamed. This time, Daddy's actions were swift, which made him very satisfied.
"I said son. Isn't it too fast to get married so soon? Looking at his son, Mei Yipo was helpless, "This operation is too hasty, many things have not been prepared, and many friends and relatives have not had time to inform them!" ”
"I'm not happy, I'm not happy, Dad, I only have six days of vacation, and when the vacation comes, I must return to the team, an hour late, but I have to be punished by military law, you don't want me to be punished again, right?" Touching her buttocks, Mei Hua had palpitations, even if Ye Zhen's own soldiers released water when they were playing the board, but the hundred hits fell on the buttocks, and they were still unbearable.
"Didn't you say you'd be stationed in the river in the future?" Mei Yi ramp.
"Dad, we are soldiers, maybe we will go to the battlefield when we will fight, grandma's, who knows if I can come back alive, if I burp, wouldn't I even have a daughter-in-law, it would be too embarrassing." Mei Hua waved her crutches with a big grin, "So, I'm in a hurry." ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Mei Yipo was shocked.
"It's not nonsense!" Mei Hua looked at her father seriously, and found that at some point, most of her father's hair had been mottled, and her heart couldn't help but soften, "Dad, my son can't be filial piety by his side, say a daughter-in-law, maybe I can add a little grandson to you in the future, so that I can rest assured when I am outside, when I am a soldier and fight, who knows when there will be accidents, those comrades-in-arms of mine back then, how fierce the guys, are enough to be my master, but on the battlefield, they died silently." ”
Mei Hua thought of Shang Fatzi, and couldn't help but sigh heavily: "Dad, little Shanghua will be my son in the future, don't treat him badly, his father saved my life, if it weren't for his father, what you see now is not a living person like me, but an urn." ”
"I'm going to get married soon, don't say these unlucky things." Mei Yipo waved his hand again and again, and suddenly remembered that his son had today, and he completely relied on his own life to fight, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little throbbing, "Son, in the future, on the battlefield, you have to be careful, it is important to save your life!" ”
Mei Hua laughed, "On the battlefield, if you really have this thought, then you have to die quickly." What's more, at that time, I didn't have any other thoughts at all, but Dad didn't have to worry too much, our Eastern Army was the strongest army in the world! ”
Mei Yipo was silent for a long time, "Okay, Dad will give you the grandest wedding, your two brothers just don't sleep, you have to do things for me these days!" ”
"Then thank you Dad, Dad, you will be better to Wanjun's father and mother in the future, don't snub them."
"How so?" Mei Yipo hurriedly said: "I'm going to give you this house, anyway, I live in the city with your two brothers now, and after you get married, you can let the Wu family move here." ”
"Then thank you Daddy!" Mei Hua couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Master, master, a guest has arrived!" The old man Wu in the door walked over and said loudly.
"Guests? It's the wedding date the day after tomorrow, why did you come today, is that the one? Mei Yipo turned around in surprise and asked.
"The visitor said that his surname was Yi, his name was Yi Bin, and he said that he was a friend of the third young master." Old man Wu said.
Yi Bin, Vice President Yi of the Supervision Yuan? As soon as she heard this name, Mei Hua's legs went limp? That's not over yet! (To be continued......)
