Chapter 59: Expansion

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August passed in a hurry, because it was still in the filial piety period, the Qian family neither sacrificed the moon nor held a banquet, only ate a few moon cakes, and the whole family went out of the city to sweep the tomb of Qian Rui's father and son.

"You can rest easy, too." Tan muttered in front of the tomb: "Brother Yuan is much more sensible than before, but he is also much more bitter......

Qian Yuan, Yang Wen, Wang Yi and others were cleaning and pulling weeds near the cemetery, chatting casually.

His mother and uncle resolutely refused to move to Hangzhou, and Qian Yuan, who had no choice but to give up, considered the need to strengthen the nursing homes at home, and now there are only seven nursing homes in total, including Yang Wen and Wang Yi.

Although the population of the Qian family is not large, considering the difficulty of moving to Hangzhou in the future and the danger of staying in Huating, Qian Yuan is ready to recruit another group of people, and once it reaches the point where it is necessary to move to Hangzhou in the future, the Qian family and in-laws are likely to go on the road together, and it will take at least twenty people.

On the way back to the city, the little sister whispered in Qian Yuan's ear: "There are so many nursing homes...... Don't have much money at home? ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Qian Yuan smiled and hugged his little sister, "Oh, it's heavy, it's not lighter than the big yellow dog at home!" ”

"Brother!" The little sister bit Qian Yuan's neck and said vaguely: "People say that you follow the Xu family!" ”

"Tap ......" Qian Yuan begged for mercy: "It's different, it's different, the Xu family is a nouveau riche, how can it be compared with our family!" ”

Indeed, in the eyes of the Huating family, the Xu family is indeed an upstart, someone once said so...... Although Yan Fenyi is regarded as a traitor who brings disaster to the country and the people in the court, his reputation in his hometown is much better than Xu Huating!

Since Xu Jie entered the cabinet the year before last, his younger brother Xu Shejiajing served in Nanjing after 26 years of Jinshi, and his son Xu Fan entered Beijing last year, and the Xu family who stayed in Huating was unscrupulous.

Anyone who throws it at the door dares to accept it, and anyone who sends it to the door dares to ask for the family property, and there have been several bad incidents, and the prefect of Huating County and Songjiang have a headache.

"Brother Yuan, don't spoil her too much." Tan frowned and pulled the little sister down from Qian Yuan's arms, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Men and women are not at the same table at the age of eight, it's not decent!" ”

Qian Yuan smiled indifferently, and habitually touched the little sister's bun, "The little sister is still young." ”

"What's small?" Tan glared at his daughter, "She is twelve or thirteen years old after the filial piety period, and it is time to say that she is married, and she will get married in a few years, who will spoil her when she arrives at her husband's house?" ”

"That's why I've been spoiling her at home for a few years." Qian Yuan said solemnly.

This era is like this, women have to get married very early, even if they get married a little late, but after they get married, they have to stay at home every day to embroider, which is simply not a human life, and girls in the previous life came to this era, eighty percent of them went crazy.

Looking at his mother's disapproving expression, Qian Yuan put his arm around his little sister's shoulders and said loudly: "Don't worry, no matter when, if your brother supports you, my sister-in-law will treat you badly in the future, and I will lead someone to the door!" ”

Yang Wen and Zhang San on the side echoed in unison, and Wang Yi sighed in his heart, Zeng Gong was impeccable to his superiors and subordinates, but he was ashamed of his family.

After returning to the city, the Qian family ate a few pieces of moon cakes and finished the matter, Qian Yuan ate less dinner because of the habit of his previous life, and the nurses not far away drank wine in large bowls, and it was very refreshing to eat meat in large pieces.

When the family was asleep, Qian Yuan took Li Si to the nursing home, and before he entered the door, he heard the noise inside, as if Yang Wen had been caught running away from drinking.

"Of course it should be punished." Qian Yuan pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Yang Wen, don't you claim to be drinking like a long whale sucking a hundred rivers?" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"You scrap!" Qian Yuan gave Zhang San a tap on the back of his head, "Everyone Yang Wen can read poetry, and you still hold "Zhongyi Water Margin" all day long!" ”

Yang Wen's originally fair face turned crimson, and he staggered and said, "Did you hear it...... The young master said that I have a talent for reading......"

Someone on the side sneered: "No wonder I drank wine today and twisted like a woman, it turned out that I was full of ink!" ”

Hearing this voice was a little unfamiliar, Qian Yuan turned his head to look, "Hey, why is Brother Hou here, and you won't inform me." ”

Jin Shanwei commanded Tongzhi Hou Jigao to bow his hand, "I don't need to be on the other side of Chuansha, General Yu asked me to garrison Huating, I can't go home in the Mid-Autumn Festival today, so I simply came here to be lively and lively." ”

After working together with Lu Bo to strangle the Japanese outside Jiading City, Hou Jigao admired Qian Yuan, and after he was stationed in Huating, he and Yang Wen, Wang Yi and others also became more and more friendly, and often came here to meet in their spare time.

It was a coincidence that Qian Yuan pulled Hou Jigao to sit down, "I said earlier, I asked people to send more mooncakes over......"

"Yes, yes." Hou Jigao waved his hand and said: "The family also sent moon cakes over, and I came here just now and brought two boxes, so I can't come to the door empty-handed to beg for wine." ”

After chatting for a while, Hou Jigao asked, "Young Master Qian, it is said that the Qian family still wants to recruit some more nurses?" ”

"Well, the Japanese are rampant, who knows what will happen in the future." Qian Yuan sighed, "I heard that Chuansha is almost over?" ”

Hou Jigao's face sank, he raised his glass and drank it all, Jinshanwei is a local guard, and the Zhejiang soldiers and wolf soldiers led by Yu Dayou are all guest soldiers, and now it is almost the harvest season, and the anti-guest will kick Jinshanwei away, Hou Jigao is angry.

"This trip to Hangzhou, although there were casualties in the end, but the young master has a generous pension, and many former brothers want to join the young master." Zhang San smiled and said, "Young master, look? ”

"Don't." Qian Yuan blurted out, "Don't want any of them." ”

The room was quiet for a while, and only Hou Jigao, an outsider, asked in surprise: "Why?" ”

Qian Yuan smiled and didn't explain, but said, "Just choose from the children of the tenants of the Qian family, only twenty people are needed." ”

Zhang San hurriedly said: "Those people ...... No martial arts at all! ”

"It doesn't matter, you don't know martial arts, you can teach Yang Wen and Wang Yi." Qian Yuan poured a cup of boiled water and slowly sipped it, "Those who are in the market, those who like to embroider their legs, and those who have an extreme temperament, don't want it." ”

Turning his head to look at Wang Yi, Qian Yuannunu mouthed, "Wang Yi, you are here to preside." ”

Wang Yi, who seemed to be honest, nodded, and explained to Zhang San with a smile, "It's enough to give orders with Brother Zhang and Brother Yang, and the people below can just listen to the order, and it is better to be honest." ”

"Also, it's better not to be fatherless and motherless." Yang Wen added: "If you are too old or too young, you can't ask for it. ”

Wang Yi, who was out of the army, pulled Yang Wen and Zhang San to discuss with great interest, but Hou Jigao glanced at Qian Yuan sensitively, and he noticed one of them, don't be in the market.

Chuansha was captured before, and it was because of the collusion between a group of gangsters in the market and the Japanese that Yu Dayou was so embarrassed.

Qian Yuan didn't know about this, and he didn't think about it so much for a while, he just followed the famous recruitment guidelines of Qi Jiguang, who had not yet appeared on the stage of history.

"By the way, Brother Hou, Jin Shanwei should have a spare weapon, right?" Qian Yuan asked casually: "Twenty servings, I will definitely not treat Brother Hou badly." ”

Hou Jigao blinked, "It's all registered, where can I sell it privately!" ”

Each guard has a corresponding casting office for making weapons and armor, and although the production is low for various reasons, and the quality is uneven, there are still some fine products.

"Selling to whom is it not selling?" Qian Yuan leaned over and gestured with the hand stretched out from his sleeve.

Hou Jigao's eyes flickered, and he secretly thought about it before nodding lightly.
