Chapter 115: Preparation
Morning.
It's still the familiar eunuch, it's the familiar spike: "Something to play, nothing to retreat." ”
The minister who had reported the situation in the northwest to His Majesty stood up again: "Your Majesty! If we don't stop it and fuel their arrogant flames, I'm afraid it will cause a catastrophe! Please send someone to the northwest to raise the prestige of our country! The minister made an impassioned statement.
This time, the emperor did not say anything to stop him, but fell into deep thought.
No one spoke in the hall, and there was silence.
When the second prince saw this scene, he glanced at Xiao Qin, who was standing behind the general, and several joint officials, and wanted to stand up and persuade his father to let Xiao Hao go to the northwest to settle the dispute, but he was just about to act, but he didn't expect that one of them was faster than him.
I saw the crown prince, who was standing at the forefront, take a step forward and said to his father: "Father, there is a candidate recommended by the sons." ”
The emperor raised his eyelids and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”
The prince bent down more respectfully: "It is the son of the general of Dingguo, Xiao Hao." ”
Hearing what the prince said, the second prince was stunned, and the ministers who had been enveloped by the second prince exchanged a look with each other, and An An stayed in place without moving.
"Oh?"
The emperor was a little interested, because what he just thought of was the son that the general had just found, Xiao Hao, and what the second prince said two days ago was not untouched by him.
"Tell me about it."
The crown prince said in a deep voice, and said steadily: "When the second emperor brother mentioned this matter before, Xiao Gongzi had his own thoughts about it, Xiao Gongzi was born in the countryside, and he was dissatisfied with the harassment of the people on my border by the Northern Mu Kingdom, so after the dinner, he came to me to talk about it, and he was willing to serve the country and go to the northwest. ”
The emperor stroked his beard, turned his head and asked the general of Dingguo: "General Dingguo, is there such a thing?" ”
The general nodded: "But there is this matter, Weichen also agreed, since the young man is willing to go through more training and experience, and wants to personally fight against Beimu and win glory for the country, Weichen has nothing to stop, but I don't know what Your Majesty wants." ”
The emperor pondered for a moment, he didn't feel embarrassed about whether to send Xiao Hao to the front line, at this moment he was thinking about another thing, it seems that Xiao Hao and the Dingguo General's Mansion do have a general relationship, otherwise Xiao Hao would not rather let the prince mention this matter to him than the general.
Thinking of this, the emperor glanced at the prince strangely: "You have a good relationship with the boy." ”
The prince smiled: "Xiao Gongzi and I hit it off at first sight, and we fell in love very much. ”
The Emperor nodded, and did not comment further.
"Spread my will, Xiao Hao, the son of the general of Dingguo, has strong martial arts and good conduct, and is specially named a third-grade general, and goes to the northwest with men and horses to pacify the people, eliminate foreign enemies, and set off in five days."
"Alright, let's stop here today, retreat."
When Xiao Qin heard the emperor's words, his hands clenched into fists, what's wrong? Is the son of the general of Dingguo so rare? As soon as he came up, he was named a third-grade general, isn't he the son of a general? Since he was a child, he has followed the general to fight in the south and the north, and now he is only a small five-grade thousand households, compared to him Xiao Qin, how can he Xiao Hao?
But no one noticed Xiao Qin's abnormality, and the ministers only cared about retreating home.
In the fabric store, there was a crowd of people, and many richly dressed wealthy merchants and their wives crowded in the store to buy the fabric in the store, and the momentum was even unstoppable by the current saints.
Chu Mo listened to Hang Yidong's instructions, and after three days after the price of the Su family's fabrics was reduced, he released the news that he could go to the garment store to buy seven-fold clothes after buying a hundred pieces of cloth in the fabric store.
Today, these wealthy merchants in the capital poured into the store like crazy, and they couldn't stop it, and the fabrics in the store were quickly sold out.
After the ten people stipulated by the lady were full, Chu Mo said to the other rich merchants in the store: "I'm sorry, our wife has stipulated that only the top ten people every day can get the quota to go to the ready-to-wear store, and today's quota is full, please be early tomorrow." As he spoke, he bowed apologetically to them.
Some sensible people just put down the fabric in their hands and went out, just waiting to come back tomorrow.
A rich nouveau riche was instantly dissatisfied, and shouted at Chu Mo with wide eyes: "What's wrong! Don't do any business? I'm going to buy your fabric today, what can you do! ”
Chu Mo was not annoyed, and smiled politely at the guest: "This guest, it doesn't matter how much fabric you want to buy today, but even if you buy a hundred pieces of fabric today, you are not qualified to go to the ready-to-wear store, so according to the small one, it is better for you to come early tomorrow, maybe you can still grab it, not to mention, our event lasts for seven days, even if you can't grab it tomorrow, then there is the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what are you anxious about?" ”
The fat nouveau riche wanted to say something, but was stopped by the little guy next to him: "Master, the owner of this house is the Xiaohua Yiren who His Majesty just sealed two days ago, it is a five-grade ah, not to mention, her husband is a young general who has just been found in the Dingguo General's Mansion, master, let's come back tomorrow, tomorrow is early, we will definitely be able to grab it." ”
The nouveau riche choked and flicked his sleeves hatefully: "It's all the loser girls in the family, what do you say about beautiful clothes, otherwise Lao Tzu will need to crowd in such a small shop for most of the day?" Lao Tzu was sweating, and he would definitely teach her a good lesson when he went back. The nouveau riche said as he walked towards the door.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to greet Chu Mo: "That shopkeeper, remember to leave me a place tomorrow." ”
Chu Mo just smiled and didn't answer.
When the others saw this, they also dispersed.
Chu Mo calculated today's flow, and today alone exceeded the shop's profit for three months, and after seeing the situation in today's store, Chu Mo admired Hang Yidong even more.
And the second prince in the second prince's mansion, who learned that all the tasks had failed, spilled the things on the table to the ground, his eyes were gloomy, and Master Su and Xiao Qin knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
"Doesn't that say that you can't fail? What now? One by one. If you don't feel comfortable being an errand with me, why don't you send you to the underworld? Master Su was so frightened that he was silent.
Xiao Qin kowtowed to the second prince: "If the next mission fails, the subordinates should enter the punishment cave and be punished." ”
Master Su, who was kneeling on the side, trembled into a sieve after hearing the three words of the punishment cave.
The second prince squinted his eyes and said, "Remember what you said." ”
Hang Yidong and Xiao Hao stayed in the yard, Xiao Hao was wearing a thin coat and boxing in the yard, while Hang Yidong was sitting in the house and wanted to make something for the family.
The weather is getting colder, and Granny Wen is afraid of cold, especially her legs and feet, and it is inconvenient to walk in winter, so she has to make several sets of knee pads and warm clothes for her, as well as her father, mother and brother, all of which are indispensable.
This winter, she and Xiao Hao are afraid that they will have to spend it in the northwest, and she has to take advantage of the remaining five days to arrange everything, whether it is her family or the store.
True, they have already received the will of the emperor.
After Xiao Hao finished practicing, he went back to the house, directly picked up the kettle on the table, and poured it in, seeing that Hang Yidong was speechless for a while.
Hang Yidong stood up, gently wiped the sweat from Xiao Hao's forehead with a handkerchief, and said coquettishly: "Can't you be more particular!" The kettle is to the mouth, how dirty. Also, hurry up and wash up, a stinky sweat. ”
Xiao Hao heard this, but he didn't follow it, and directly hugged Hang Yidong's delicate body: "You are my lady, you actually think I stink, you come to smell it, whether it stinks or not, whether it stinks or not!" ”
"Oops, it stinks, you go away!"
As a result, Xiao Hao tried his best to trap Hang Yidong in his arms, and inadvertently pinched the soft, fleshy waist of Hang Yidong, which caused Hang Yidong to laugh.
The two of them made a mess.
It was Shen Yue who knocked on the door, and the two of them stopped.
"Shen Yue, what's wrong?"
"Granny Wen is looking for the head of the house." Shen Yue lowered her head, she knew not to look at what she shouldn't see.
Hang Yidong pushed Xiao Hao, and Xiao Hao let go of the hand on his waist and said, "I'll go right away, you go down first." ”
Shen Yue respectfully retreated.
Hang Yidong looked at Xiao Hao: "Go quickly, don't let Granny Wen wait." ”
Since Granny Wen followed them into Beizhuang, she stayed quietly in her yard, except for when eating, she didn't go out of the yard for a single step, and it was the first time to call someone like today, so Hang Yidong hurriedly let Xiao Hao pass, I was afraid that Granny Wen had something important to tell Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao nodded and strode out of the courtyard.
On the other side, in Granny Wen's yard.
Because the weather was getting cooler, Hang Yidong specially ordered to burn some braziers in Granny Wen's yard, which was not so prosperous, but it also burned the whole yard warm.
Granny Wen was holding a cluster of arrows, which looked to be some years old, and it was rusty, and there was also a bamboo basket on the table, which contained some children's clothes and toys, which looked very expensive and exquisite.
Granny Wen's face was a little complicated, she didn't know if she was right to do this today, but she didn't want to hide it anymore, this child has grown up and started a family, and he has the right to know everything.
As soon as Xiao Hao entered the door, he saw Granny Wen with a heavy expression, and he shouted, "Mother-in-law." ”
A smile instantly appeared on Granny Wen's face: "It's here." ”
Seeing that Xiao Hao was not wearing much, he immediately said: "Why do you wear so little, if it is cold today, what if you catch a cold?" ”
"I was practicing martial arts just now, and my body was hot and sweaty, so I'll go and put on my clothes later." Xiao Hao immediately assured Granny Wen.
"By the way, mother-in-law, what are you looking for me?" Xiao Hao looked at Granny Wen curiously.
Granny Wen looked at Xiao Hao's face and was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "I have something to tell you." Back then, the one who took you away. ”
"It's me."
