Chapter 040: There Must Be Hidden Secrets (I)
If you have a plan, you have to start acting, Gao Pragmatic knows that this time is actually urgent, according to the speed at which Gao Gong secretly promotes the "playmate" plan, it is estimated that it will be as little as ten days, and as much as half a month, and the Jingshi side will summon himself back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to read it - the civil official group is sensitive enough to any possible turnover of the noble general, and the Jingshi's response to the prince's "playmate" will not be slow, so many arrangements on the side of Sanshenyuan must be completed quickly.
"I've got you covered." Gao Shishi said to Zhang Jin: "You go and inform all the people who live in Sanshen Garden, whether it is a maid, a family member, a long-term worker or a tenant, that all dinners will be added to meat today." I think so, let's kill some pigs first, and then get some chickens and ducks and so on, of course, vegetarian dishes or something must be supplied in sufficient quantities, in short, don't be stingy, understand? ”
Zhang Jin nodded and promised: "Yes, young master, the villain will do it immediately." ”
Gao pragmatic thought about it and asked a little uneasily: "Is there a place to raise pigs in Sanshen Garden?" Is it convenient to buy pigs now? ”
"Naturally, there is no one in the garden." Zhang Jin said with a smile: "But there are some farmhouses at the foot of the mountain not far from the park, and the people there are your tenants, and they are usually responsible for helping the garden raise some pigs, sheep and poultry, and the pigs are not too much, but there are always seventy or eighty heads in total, and it actually takes more than a dozen to kill pigs in the garden, which is more than enough." ”
Gao pragmatic said: This place is really similar to a small town, and the daily expenses can basically be self-sufficient. nodded immediately: "Okay, you can arrange it." And tell them that tomorrow I have another reward. ”
Zhang Jin responded and hurried away.
Gao Pragmatic returned to the study, and the two little maids who admired the moon and listened to the piano had already arrived in advance - the two of them went to tidy up and arrange Gao Pragmatic's bedroom and study just now, but Gao Pragmatic's bedroom and study were in the Shensi Courtyard on the top floor of Sanshen Garden like the study, so the second daughter came earlier than Gao Xiaozhuang and Gao Mo.
Gao Pragmatic saw that the two of them were so busy that their foreheads were slightly sweating, and he couldn't help laughing: "You two are also solid eyes, there are maids and healthy women here to take care of them, you just need to let them listen to the arrangements of the two of you, how did it get like this?" ”
"They don't know some of the habits of the eldest young master, so let's do it ourselves." While admiring the moon while signaling her sister to make tea for Gao Shi, she said: "Besides, the slave sisters are the same as them, and they are younger, if you ask people to do this and that, can't people gossip when they say it?" ”
Gao pragmatic smiled dumbly: "Just think about it carefully." After a pause, he said, "You two are waiting by my side, and you are qualified to call them in any household, and I will explain this matter to the three stewards later." But you don't have to worry too much about these trivial matters, I came to Sanshen Garden this time, and I will probably stay for ten days and a half months, and I won't stay for a long time, so these things can be improvised. ”
The two daughters didn't know about this, they were stunned when they heard the words, they glanced at each other, and still admired the moon and asked: "Didn't you say that you came here to study, why did the eldest young master say that he would only stay for ten days and a half months?" ”
Tingqin also said: "Yes, the slave maid and my sister have brought all the young master's spring clothes." ”
"Well, I blame me for not explaining this." The young master Gao pragmatic didn't have a big shelf, explained it, and explained: "But don't mention this matter to others." ”
The two girls glanced at each other, and they all responded.
Tingqin brought the tea over, took the help of Gao Shishi, and asked, "Is the eldest young master going to study now?" ”
Gao pragmatic smiled: "There was such a thing on the road, I just arrived today, what book did you read?" I just have something to explain to Gao Xiaozhuang and Gao Mo, and then repair two letters to explain the things on the road to the third uncle and uncle, and by the way, I asked Zhang Jin for a favor, he is still doing things well along the way, and the incident of the horse is accidental, no wonder he is. ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Yueyue said indignantly: "The leader of that ringing horse thief is really damned, and a scholar like the eldest young master dares to rob him." ”
Tingqin also said helpfully: "What's more, he was still chasing and killing General Liu, General Liu is a person who has been a general soldier, so the horse thief should be ...... It should be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut off the dog's head! ”
It was the first time for Gao Pragmatic to see the two little girls so angry, and couldn't help laughing: "It was General Liu who was hunted down, and I was the one who was captive, why are you two so angry?" ”
As an older sister, although she is usually more courageous than her sister, she is relatively good at talking, listening to what the eldest young master said, she thought a little about how to answer more thoughtfully, but she expected that Tingqin was more direct, and she had already replied: "If something happens to the eldest young master, what should we do!" ”
Yueyue's heart tightened, and he said secretly: It's not good, it's bad.
Who expected Gao to be pragmatic and didn't care, but laughed, stretched out his hand to Tingqin, and said, "You are sincere." ”
Gao Shishi is much older than the two of them, how can he care about this kind of thing, not to mention that this kind of thinking is what a normal person should have, he actually prefers to listen to this kind of truth,
Tingqin obviously felt that honesty was a compliment, and his eyes were laughing like crescents, but he was still a little worried that the eldest young master would not like it, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "The eldest young master, what are you going to do with the thief chief surnamed Cao?" ”
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "I am a bitter master at most in this matter, but I have no power to dispose of him." It stands to reason that General Liu, as an important general of the imperial court, can correct the thief on the spot when he encounters this kind of pursuit, but he didn't do it either. Therefore, I expect that he will either intend to hand over this fang to Suncheonfu, or ...... It's just to see the hundreds of miles of gorges ringing horse thieves. ”
"Fancy the Ringing Horse Thieves?" The moon was a little stunned, and said strangely: "What does that mean?" ”
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said leisurely: "Don't look at the casualties in the final count of the battle yesterday, the casualties on our side and General Liu's side were far lower than those of the Ringing Horse Thieves, and I felt that those Ringing Horse Thieves were all incompetent. Hey, this group of people is quite capable. ”
Yueyue was a little puzzled, frowned and asked: "However, we and General Liu's people together are only more than fifty, and I am afraid that there are not three hundred of the horse thieves, and they are all on horseback, but in the end, they were defeated and lost, and they fled in embarrassment." ”
Tingqin also interjected: "That's right, young master, no one died on the Zhang family's guards, and the casualties on General Liu's side were not large, but dozens of people died on the horse thieves, such a huge gap, how can you still say that those horse thieves are not small?" The slave and maid were a little puzzled when they heard it. ”
Gao Pragmatic stretched out a finger and said, "This is the first, General Liu's father and son are strong in battle, especially Liu Ling's performance yesterday was too amazing. You have also seen the later performance of Cao Gan, the leader of the horse thief, the 'Bald Heavenly King', which is really not a good match, but yesterday he was shocked by Liu Ling, and he didn't dare to come forward to fight him in person. As a result, no one among the horse thieves could stop Liu Ling's rush...... When the two armies are fighting, this kind of opponent cannot be stopped at all, which will inevitably lead to a great morale boost on one side and a great decline in the morale of the other side. ”
The two little girls said "oh" at the same time, and Yueyue nodded and said: "That young general is indeed amazing, but some don't take the safety of the eldest young master to heart, and the slave doesn't like it when she looks at it." ”
