The female steward of the general's mansion, Mangzhong, took care of Zhang Xiaowu slowly, as if she took care of it slowly, and Zhang Xiaowu left later. Although Mangzhong is young, he is shrewd in everything, especially in this precocious era, the girl's family is even more precocious, Zhang Xiaowu is also relieved to entrust the family's affairs to Mangzhong. Compared with Wanqiu, who has a scheming but gentle personality, Mangzhong, who has a pungent personality, is more able to govern and manage his subordinates, and it is precisely because of her pungency that no one in the house dares to make mistakes.

"General, how long have you been here?"

"Three or five months."

"In three or five months, it's autumn, and it's going to snow again in Saibei, so please ask the general to come back before it snows."

Zhang Xiaowu smiled and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Mang Chong said: "I'm a subordinate, what do I want." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You can think boldly." ”

Mang Chong wrinkled his chubby face and thought for a while, and said, "I want to eat Longdu's halva, when I used to serve my wife, I saw her eat a piece, and she said that it was the best halva in Longdu." She ate a piece and gave it to her dog. ”

"Okay, I'll bring you two pieces this time."

"The general is stingy."

"Hahaha......"

And Wanqiu also pulled his shirt and was reluctant, since she learned that he was going to face the saint, she didn't know how many months it had been, so that Wanqiu had been pestering him every night for the past few days. Wanqiu, a quiet woman, became a female general on the bed for a while, which really caught Zhang Xiaowu off guard.

"The slave family thinks that if you are pregnant with your child, when you come back, you may see your son." Wanqiu said longingly.

Zhang Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, and said: "People are pregnant and give birth to children in October, I will go to Longdu today, the fastest three months, the slowest five months, if you can give birth to a baby in three or five months, then you are a fairy." Have you ever heard a saying, cats three dogs four? ”

"What do you mean?"

"That is, it takes three months for a cat to get pregnant and four months for a dog."

Wanqiu was puzzled: "My cat was born after more than a month of pregnancy, and it was definitely not three months. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "A person's day is a cat's two days, so a cat only needs a human month and a half is enough - this is not the point, the point is that you can live in the general's mansion with peace of mind." ”

Wanqiu said "um" and whispered, "My grandma (grandma) wants to see you." ”

Zhang Xiaowu knew that the old lady of the Yuan family had extraordinary means, and even Ruan Qingwen was afraid of her and helped her send her granddaughter to him. And in the end, Wanqiu became her second wife, everything was like the old lady's calculations, but after so long, the old lady actually endured not seeing herself, and when she saw herself at this time, she was afraid that she had something else. If he can do it, he can do it, but if he can't, he won't force himself and pretend to be a hero.

Speaking of which, although Zhang Xiaowu accepted Yuan Wanqiu as his second wife, he never came to the Yuan family, but let people take care of the Yuan family a lot, this visit was the first time that his son-in-law came to the door, he didn't know what the rules were, so he asked Ruan Qingwen. Ruan Qingwen couldn't help laughing and said: "The first time you come to the door, you have to prepare a heavy gift, the Longdu people pay attention to the eight major things, not to mention the gold, silver and satin, and other items must also be prepared." ”

Zhang Xiaowu doesn't understand some customs of this era, but he doesn't reject this custom, after all, he has inexplicably penetrated into this world, and he doesn't know how long he can be in this world. He made eight great things ready, namely: a thousand taels of silver, a pair of gold bracelets, a horse of silk, a carriage, a stone of grain, a stone of refined salt, an ox, and a pack horse. Even if these eight gifts are placed in the Central Plains, they can only be afforded by large households, and the eight things of small households are: a silver ingot (five taels), a silver bracelet, a piece of cloth, a bag of rice, a handful of vegetables, a pound of meat, a pair of quilts, and more than one set.

Wanqiu was surprised when she saw these eight gifts, because she was originally a slave, she didn't need a dowry at all, and even if she was killed, she wouldn't give it to the official. Now that Zhang Xiaowu treated her like this, how could she not be moved, and choked up: "If my Ah Weng and Ah Ye have knowledge under the spring, they will definitely be safe." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled slightly and said, "Since you are my person, I categorically cannot wronged you and your family." ”

For example, after getting ready, Zhang Xiaowu sent someone to send the post one day in advance, and took Bao Yin and Wang Yijin to Yuan's house the next day.

The Yuan family is very different now than when they first arrived, when they were assigned here, fifty or sixty people were crammed into a thatched hut, because most of them were women and children, crying all day long, not resting, not eating and dressing. Now that the Yuan family has attached Zhang Xiaowu, they already have their own separate courtyard, especially after Wanqiu became the second wife of the general, the Yuan family's status in Mucheng has skyrocketed.

When Yuan Qi, the son of the Yuan family, was beheaded, Yuan Qi's two younger brothers also died under the palace, and the second generation of the Yuan family had no men, only one daughter who was taken home by Hugh, but there were five people in the Yuan family, namely Yuan Wanqiu's cousin Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shixuan, cousin Yuan Shide, and Yuan Shisheng. Mrs. Yuan believes that with these five children, the Yuan family will definitely return to its former glory in the future.

After coming to Yuan's house, Zhang Xiaowu was led into the door by a servant, and saw the four brothers in the courtyard competing, each holding a bamboo stick as a knife, using the family knife technique. Seeing Zhang Xiaowu coming, the four brothers may have made a quick move in order to show themselves, but they used up all their strength, but they were self-defeating and leaked flaws. The martial arts of the four brothers are really not high, and they lack the guidance of masters, and they are good-looking, but unfortunately they are useless, and they are the most powerful boss Yuan Shikai, and they are just doing it in vain.

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head after a few glances, the four brothers finished their martial arts training, collected their merits, and came to Zhang Xiaowu together, Yuan Shikai, the eldest grandson of the Yuan family, said: "The general came to visit, and he was inconsiderate, please forgive me." Zhang Xiaowu is not a few years older than them, but facing Lao Cheng, Yuan Shikai didn't dare to call him his brother-in-law, so he could only call him a general, which is not wrong, but he is a lot more rusty.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I took the liberty to disturb, I was afraid, and I asked my brother to introduce the elders." ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shikai suddenly asked, "How did the general just watch my brother's martial arts?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Martial arts? ”

"Yes." Yuan Shikai said, "My family passed on the Yuan family's knife technique, and my uncle's generation earned his career with this knife technique." I heard that the general is a god of a hundred battles, and his martial arts are extraordinary, please comment on one or two. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”

The brothers of the Yuan family were stunned and said, "Naturally, I want to hear the truth." ”
