In the eyes of others, Xiao Pingguo's job is the easiest, his job is only to play and sing every day with twelve black children from the Luoka tribe and the Duchess's estate, and to teach six young people from the Ming military household to play the trumpet.

Wei Hong took good care of Xiao Pingguo, after all, Brother Xiao had not received systematic sailing training, and he was basically an otaku before leaving Mornington Island, so he couldn't bear to force this Xiao Da musician to get up early and go to bed early according to the schedule of the garrison.

And whether it is these children or trumpeters, at least half of the time during the day has to conduct military training, so Teacher Xiao is not a full-time job.

So, Xiao Pingguo naturally lived in the duchess's manor, after all, the conditions there were much better than the row of stilt houses on the west bank of the Xin'an River.

Every afternoon, fifteen students of Xiao Da musicians completed their training in music literacy and music theory, and then returned to the barracks behind the stilt house to receive training in musical instruments, so Xiao Pingguo's days in Sin'an City were quite leisurely, sleeping in the duchess's manor during the day until he woke up naturally, and then took the carriage provided by the duchess to Sin'an City, where there was a fixed ferry.

It was not until after lunch that the students were gathered in the barracks for music lessons, until the sun went down and they were out of sight, and after finishing the practical instrument lessons, they took a small boat across the river and then took the carriage waiting by the river back to the manor.

And it's a six-day workweek, with Sundays off.

So Xiao Pingguo always has a lot of free time, but during this time, Mr. Xiao is actually not idle, he is very interested in the wooden drum music and dance in the Luoka tribe, as an old-world DJ technician, record knight, Xiao Pingguo is fascinated by those rhythmic music in his bones, so he also specially observed a few dances of the women of the Luoka tribe - the kind with no clothes on the upper body.

Well, it's not that Brother Xiao has to want to watch such a dance, because other tribesmen don't have the habit of wearing blouses......

Ten days later, Xiao Pingguo handed Wei Hong a thick stack of paper, on which there were more than 100 kinds of trumpet short songs, all of which were staves, and each short song usually had only seven or eight notes, which was quite regular and easy to remember.

Wei Hong took the stack of papers, looked at the tadpole text on it upside down and didn't understand it, so Xiao Pingguo said to Wei Hong who was in a state of confusion, this is a military horn score, each piece of music expresses a meaning, and all kinds of situations on the battlefield can be expressed through these more than 100 kinds of military horn scores, so that they can transmit information to each other in a timely and long-distance manner on the battlefield.

Of course, the meaning of the score should be kept secret, so that once it is passed out, your enemies will be able to understand it.

So, I've also made up a set of score codes for you, which is equivalent to a password that is different every time, so that even if your enemies know the meaning of our score, they won't be able to tell if today's score is the same as yesterday's......

Wei Hong was very happy to hear this, after all, battlefield communication is related to the success or failure of the battle, and now there are no walkie-talkies and radios, and the command and movement of soldiers on the battlefield all rely on shouting and heralds.

Then Wei Hong sent several squad leaders to Brother Xiao, requiring them to understand and write down these military horn sounds, as for the trumpeter, it was obviously an extremely important position, Wei Hong added two more people, so Teacher Xiao's students increased to twenty-two, and every afternoon, these students took turns to receive military music training in the barracks.

Obviously, for Xiao Pingguo, these jobs are not difficult, his students are mainly children, and his ability to accept them is still very strong.

As long as the children don't be too skinny, and do it carefully according to the teacher's requirements, they can make training results very quickly.

However, Xiao Pingguo is still troubled recently, in order not to affect the rest of others, he takes this group of students away from the barracks to train by the river every day, and as a result, it has caused a lot of onlookers, especially in the evening, after dinner, the laborers hear the drum music by the riverside, most of them will come to watch, and then a fixed program was formed, people came to the river in twos and threes to wait for Teacher Xiao to take the children to "concert", especially a group of indigenous women, they stared at Teacher Xiao's eyes, It's like a tigress watching her prey.

The most important thing is that Father Luoka often secretly signaled to Xiao Pingguo, saying that there are too few children in the tribe now, and once women don't have children, they can't stop, and it will be difficult to manage.

And Mr. Xiao, your woman is very popular, otherwise I will send you a few tribal girls, in short, as long as they get pregnant, our tribe will thank you Yunyun.

For this reason, Xiao Pingguo specially ran to ask Wei Hong and Brother Hou and said, you have been here for a long time, did Daddy Luoka send his sister to you?

Wei Hong shook his head like a rattle, and said that at least not yet, but Hou Xianglin said, in fact, there is, but you haven't noticed this, when I have trained you to go to Daddy Luoka's shed to talk about things a few times, is there always a group of girls who are scratching their heads and making gestures looking at you? It's just that you're turning a blind eye.

Also, every time you take the natives to the jungle to suppress bandits, don't you pick the girl Loka Daddy who brings back?

Wei Hong touched his head and responded, there was a war a while ago, and there were training tasks, who has such a mind......

Hou Xianglin said, then there will be no war now, so do you want it?

Wei Hong said that he had to answer honestly, forget it, I'm afraid I will feel guilty when I go home and see my wife.

Xiao Pingguo sighed and said after hearing this, hey, I am surrounded by a group of women all day long, entangled in the open and in the dark, so I almost cried and shouted that I want to sleep with me, annoying!

Hou Xianglin listened to Yile and said, in fact, the main reason is that those girls are too ugly, otherwise it would be difficult to say......

Well, Brother Hou's words did hit the point, and the two brothers couldn't help nodding silently for a while.

Yes, according to the aesthetic standards of the brothers, these tribal women are really stumbling, with an average height of one meter and four, and generally poor development, even if they are not black, and they seem to have not taken a bath for many years, and many places are crusted.

Therefore, among these five people, the most bitter and tired are probably Gui Xianning and Wei Hong, two single dogs, one lives in the west wing of the stilt house, and the other lives in the east wing, with a conference room in between.

Fortunately, both of them have a lot of things to do during the day, one has to do military training, the other has to do training, and they are basically tired and die every day, and the two even feel that they are back to the fatigue they felt when they were working in shifts on Mornington Island as basic laborers on construction sites and fields......

Although the duchess also let these two single men live in her manor many times, and the room has already been prepared, these two returned to the stilt house after staying for two days, and the apparent reason is that if you live like this, it is far away from Xin'an City, and she is afraid of running back and forth to delay things, so she will be fine.

But the real reason is that all kinds of eye-catching things make the two of them a little unbearable, especially at night, Brother Hou's side is tossing every day, and the movements of the little couple are really not small, plus Sun Lao and the duchess are also ...... Well, aside, at night, those scenes are always going to hurt the single dogs deeply, so it's better to be out of sight and out of mind after all......

On a Sunday morning, Sun Lao ran to the stilt house to find the two brothers, and asked them very seriously, how about finding a "life secretary" for each of you?

Wei Hong shook his head when he heard this, he still said the same thing, afraid that he would feel guilty when he went back to see his wife. Well, Sun Lao also had nothing to say about this response, but at this time, Gui Xianning said with a heart, Sun Lao's kindness was understood, but his eyes were full of crooked melons and cracked dates, what should I do if I can't find a suitable place in this place? !

However, Sun Lao immediately responded that in fact, there was a mixed-race girl in the duchess's estate, a sister born to a Portuguese man and an indigenous woman, but the identity was a debt slave, his father turned out to be a maritime merchant in Dili City, and after the mother gave birth to this daughter, she died of postpartum fever, and then her father went to sea and never returned, and finally the business went bankrupt, and the only daughter was sent to the manor at the age of sixteen to pay off the debt. Speaking Portuguese and the local vernacular, he took it with him**, and now works as a personal maid and clerk for the Duchess, who has just turned eighteen this year.

Gui Xianning's eyes lit up when he heard it and said, it doesn't matter if your identity is beautiful, is it beautiful?
