Han Xiufeng and Qin'er have been separated for more than three years, and they finally reunited, so it stands to reason that they should spend more time with their wives and children at home. can think that no matter how big or small things happen in the camp, they can't escape the emperor's eyes and ears, Han Xiufeng can only do what he should do, go out early and return late every day.

I thought Qin'er would complain, but I didn't expect that not only did she not complain, but also had a hot fight with Yongxiang's daughter-in-law and Yongxiang's three younger siblings, and even called Yang Debiao's daughter-in-law at noon yesterday, and burned a large table of dishes at home, and Gu Dehui's wife and children, who had just arrived from the capital the afternoon before yesterday, picked up the wind.

It wasn't until he chatted with his sister who had changed the law to inquire about the marriage arrangement during the meal just now, that Han Xiufeng knew that his wife, who originally lived in a simple place, had become a fake official wife, and when he was in his hometown in Ba County, he walked around with the county lady, Mrs. Futai and even Mrs. Daotai, so as soon as he arrived in Gu'an, he learned from Mrs. Daotai to help win over the families of Yongxiang, Yang Debiao, Gu Dehui and others.

The more Han Xiufeng thought about it, the funnier it became, and he couldn't help but look at his wife who had just walked in with the dog in her arms and asked, "Qin'er, has Chen Chongtong's family been here?" ”

"I came, I came the morning before yesterday, and I also sent a piece of satin, saying that it was to make clothes for dogs." Qin'er put down the little guy, picked up the porridge that the younger sister had just served, and said with a smile while feeding the little guy: "I know that the things given by others can't be collected indiscriminately, so I picked a Shu embroidery brought from my hometown and asked Jueming to send it as a return gift." ”

"We still have Shu embroidery?"

"You don't know if you're not at home, there are a lot of people at home! My dad didn't care about anything else at home, and he was busy all day long. ”

"Also, although I'm not at home, this human exchange will not be less." Han Xiufeng stroked the little guy who was still busy playing with the windmill while eating, and said in a deep voice: "Qin'er, you gave me a wake-up call." If it weren't for you, I would have almost forgotten about Yongxiang's family members, especially their families, otherwise, you would have helped Zhang Luo have two tables of banquets, one table was placed outside, and Chen Chongtong, Yongxiang, Yang Debiao, Gu Dehui and Cui Hao were invited, and one table was placed inside, and Chen Chongtong and Yongxiang's family members were invited. ”

"It's long overdue," Qin'er smiled, thought about it and asked, "Fourth brother, when are you going to invite?" ”

"It's better to hit the day than to hit the day, just tonight."

"Okay, I'll let Cuihua and my sister go get some wine and buy some vegetables later."

As she spoke, Cuihua and Ren Yu'er walked in.

As soon as he saw Ren Yu'er, the little guy put down the windmill and smiled.

Fei Erye and Yu Youfu went to the capital, and Ren Yuer became "Mr. Teaching", but the way she taught the dog was different from Fei Erye, she never used to scare the dog, but played with the dog, told the story to the dog, and then coaxed the dog to recite the three-character scripture and the surname of the hundred families.

She is very attentive, and the dog likes her very much, and calls her aunt when he sees her.

Qin'er wants her son to be Jackie Chan more than anyone else, seeing that the baby likes Ren Yu'er so much, and the baby has learned better than before in the past two days, and she also loves the house and Wu is more intimate with Ren Yu'er, and she is busy moving stools to wipe the table, and beckoning Ren Yu'er to eat. They can get along harmoniously, Han Xiufeng is very happy, and after chatting a few more words, he took the oxtail knife from the wall and went to the lobby of the river hall.

wrote a few letters, asked Cui Hao to send them quickly, and then walked into Chen Chongtong's public room and talked for a while, and was busy until noon before rushing to the school to eat lunch with the soldiers.

Hearing that there was wine to eat at night, Yongxiang couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Han, why didn't you say it earlier, I said earlier that I would have eaten two less pieces of bread just now!" ”

"Yes, Master Han, how can there be someone like you, we have to wait until we are full of food and drink." Yang Debiao is also a lover of personality, so he can't help but joke along with it.

"If I had said earlier, you would all have saved your stomachs, and you wouldn't have eaten me poor by then?" Han Xiufeng scolded with a smile, got up and said: "Tonight is a family banquet, just a gathering, just when people arrive, don't bring any gifts, don't blame me for throwing it out." ”

"There's really nothing else, it's really just a get-together?" Yongxiang will be skeptical.

"What the hell are you doing?" Han Xiufeng looked at everyone with a smile and explained: "There are so many yamen in the world, it is fate that a few of us can be on an errand in the same yamen, and when we go to the battle array in the future, it will be a fateful friendship!" To put it mildly, if I, Han Xiufeng, are martyred, my wife and children will have to rely on a few people to help take care of them. If your brothers have three long and two short, your wife and children will be taken care of by Han Xiufeng. ”

Yang Debiao didn't expect Han Xiufeng to invite them to eat and drink because of this, so he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Master Han, Yongxiang can meet a Shangguan like you, it is really a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation." If there is a war in the future, if my river camp is really on the battle array, if I Yongxiang is really unlucky and dies on the battlefield, I will only die in front of you, and will never die behind you! ”

"What nonsense!" Yongxiang kicked him and turned around and said, "Master Han, you have a good fortune and a great fortune, even if you are in the battle array, you will be fine." Not only will you be fine, but we will also be fine. ”

Yang Debiao reacted and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, it's going to be fine." ”

"If you want to be safe, you have to practice well," Han Xiufeng looked at the soldiers who had just finished eating and were sitting on the school field resting, and said meaningfully: "We have to make a little more preparations now, and we will have a better chance of winning in the future." Therefore, we must not slack off in training, this is not only for ourselves, but also to serve the court. ”

"Obedience!"

"Master Han, let's call them to get up and continue practicing!"

"No matter how anxious you are, don't rush for a while." Han Xiufeng motioned for them to sit down, and then changed his words: "Everyone, in a few days or two, I will go to Zhuozhou, Bazhou, Wuqing and other places to recruit the second batch of soldiers, to be exact, it should be the third batch, because there is already a group of soldiers serving in Jinghai, and when the third group of soldiers enters the camp, the group in front of me will have to go to Jinghai." ”

Yongxiang suddenly realized why Han Xiufeng invited them to eat and drink, and subconsciously said: "Master Han, let me lead the troops this time, let me take over Qianli." ”

Yang Debiao also reacted, and couldn't help asking: "Master Han, did Master Wang send a letter back, do you know the current situation on his side?" ”

"The letter asked the shopkeeper to send back a few letters, and he was building an earthen wall to enclose it. In the first few days, it was okay, only two died of illness, and one soldier accidentally fell and injured himself while taking soil to build a wall. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and a few days ago, Changmao didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he actually wanted to break through from the section they contained. They rushed into battle, and although they eventually repelled Longhair with the help of their nearby colleagues, they suffered heavy casualties. ”

"How many died, how many were wounded?"

"Thirty-eight were killed in the battle, and fifty-two were wounded, half of them were seriously wounded, and I don't know if they could be saved, but even more ran away while the chaos was taking advantage of the chaos. More than 360 people have gone, and now only 141 remain. ”

"Chisato is alright, right?" Yongxiang asked eagerly.

"Chisato is a little injured, it's fine."

"What about Brother Chen Hu?"

"Chen Hu was also injured a little, and it was no big deal, in fact, if it weren't for Chen Hu and the others fighting to the death, I'm afraid that Qianli would be really lucky this time." Han Xiufeng clenched his fists tightly and said with a gloomy face: "The original garrisons, co-organized garrisons, and thousands of generals, except for Zhang Gui, all fled in despair, I just asked the Provincial Department in the morning to issue sea fishing documents to nearby states and counties, I want to see where they can go!" ”

"It's so hateful, you dare to escape!"

"They won't end well, let's talk about what's in front of us, Chisato said in the letter that he is familiar with the situation over there, and he can talk to the monks and the friends of Katsuho-sama, as well as the general grain platform. If he comes back like this, not only will you not be familiar with the land after you pass, but you will even have no food and grass. ”

Yongxiang asked in a low voice, "Qianli doesn't plan to come back?" ”

"He asked me what I meant, and I think there is some truth to what he said, so you don't need to go this time."

Yang Debiao knew that Gu Dehui was a Sushun person, and the big head was the personal follower of his boss, so he had no backing here, so he could only stubbornly say: "Master Han, let me go this time." ”

"It's okay for you to go, but when you get to Jinghai, everything has to be listened to for thousands of miles, and you must not make your own decisions."

"Master Han rest assured, after he arrives in Jinghai, he will only listen to Master Wang's orders!"

"Then I have to come back alive, and these soldiers can bring back as much as they can. You must know that we are going to train soldiers, if we just think about making meritorious contributions and fighting all the soldiers for me, we will be the same dereliction of duty, the same sorry for the court, sorry for the emperor! ”

"Humble duty understands!"

More than 300 people went, with heavy casualties, and only a hundred remained.

Everyone's mood was naturally not good, Han Xiufeng didn't want to affect morale because of this, so he suddenly changed his words: "Patronizing to tell bad news, I forgot to tell you the good news." Qianli and Chen Hu and others have made a merit in encircling them, and Lord Shengbao has already won the game, and I estimate that it will not be long before the emperor's reward will come down. ”

"yes, that's great!"

"Fortunately, Qianli took the initiative to invite Yingying to lead the troops Jinghai, if Qianli and Chen Hu don't go, counting on the original battalion officers, the face of my river camp will really be lost by them this time."

"In the final analysis, it is Master Han that you have a good command of the troops, after all, in the end, they are not all the people you brought out!"

"Yes, Master Han, without your support, how could they be where they are today!"

"I won't rob this work, they can get to where they are today, all because they risked their lives. Don't talk about this, let's practice quickly, there is still some official business over there in the river hall, go first, see you in the evening. ”

"Congratulations to Master Han."

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the sun sets.

The small courtyard rented by Han Xiufeng was full of lanterns, Su Jueming, Cuihua, Sister and Yongxiang's three younger brothers and daughters-in-law were very busy, several families were chasing and playing around the dogs, and Qin'er, Ren Yu'er and Chen Chongdi, Yongxiang and others' daughters-in-law were laughing and laughing in the inner house, a festive atmosphere.

After Yongxiang washed his hands, he told his nephews and nieces not to let the little master of the Han family bump into it, and then he entered the table under Su Jueming's greeting.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Han Xiufeng took a stack of letters from the case behind him and said with a smile: "Everyone, I will tell you something before the banquet." This morning, I sent a letter to Mr. Shi of the North Shore Hall and asked Mr. Shi what errands were on the embankment, but I didn't expect Mr. Shi to reply that there was really a shortage of people on the embankment. Yongxiang, don't you have three younger brothers, Yongji will definitely not be able to leave, you can't be without a literate person by your side, if Yongru and Yongli are willing, Ming'er will let them go to the North Shore Hall early in the morning to meet Master Shi, and Master Shi will arrange an errand for them. ”

"Master Han, they must be willing! Master Han, I didn't expect you to take them to heart, this great kindness and great virtue know how to ...... it."

"It's just an errand for the two of them, what a great kindness." Han Xiufeng motioned for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Debiao, aren't your family boss and your two nephews idle, if they are willing, let them go with Yongru and Yongli tomorrow morning." ”

Yang Debiao was worried that his family had nothing to do, so he couldn't help but get up and said: "Master Xie Han takes care of it, Master Xie Han rewards them with food!" ”

"Here we go again, sit down!" Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "Besides, my South Shore Hall originally had a lot of silt land, but those lands were handed over to the North Shore Hall. I thought that there were more and more family members in the camp, and there were no idlers in the camp, and the family could not support idlers, so I rented fifty acres with Master Shi. I have a small family, and I just discussed it with the cheap, and I plan to rent five acres, and I can't plant it if I rent more. The rest of you are discussing, in short, you can't let the mother-in-law be idle. ”

Chen Chongtong said without thinking: "Master Han, I can't hide it, in fact, Xiaguan wanted to plant some land for a long time, and Xiaguan wanted to rent ten acres. ”

"Okay, ten acres is ten acres. Yongxiang, Debiao, Dehui, how many acres do you plan to rent? ”

"Master Han, there are many lowly families, and the lowly ones want to rent more, but you know those lowly family members, they ...... They really don't know how to farm. Yongxiang said with a bitter face.

"If you don't know how to plant, you can learn, so it's a big deal to ask a common person to teach."

"That lowly job wants to rent twenty acres."

"Yixiang's family has ten acres, yours has twenty acres, and my family has five acres. Debiao, Dehui, otherwise, your family will have ten acres, and the remaining five acres will be reserved for the big head, anyway, the big head family has few people like my family. ”

Who doesn't want to have a piece, even if it is to grow some vegetables and fruits. And it is said that it is rented from the North Shore Hall, and it is indeed necessary to pay rent at that time, but it is rented at the official price, and one mu of land rent only needs to pay three or four cents of silver to the North Shore Hall for a year, which is no different from Bai Rang Seed.

Yang Debiao was so happy that he hurriedly got up and said, "Master Xie Han is compassionate, Master Xie Han takes care of it!" ”

Gu Dehui was equally happy, and hurriedly got up to thank him.

Han Xiufeng motioned for them to sit down, and continued: "Second Master Fei, a few of you have seen him, his old man has been visiting relatives and friends in Beijing for the past few days, and when he finishes visiting his friends in Beijing, he will come back and continue to be my family's west seat." Teaching one baby is teaching, teaching ten babies is also teaching, and my righteous sister is also a talented woman who has read the books of sages and sages, and she can help. So I'm going to donate some money to set up a private school in the village, and if you want, you can send all the babies here. If the villagers in the village are willing, they can also send the baby to study. ”

"Willing to be willing, Master Han, willing to be lowly and willing!"

Chen Chongtong has repeatedly failed to win, and regards not being able to win the lift as a big regret in life, how can he miss this opportunity to let his children worship the people as teachers, and said without thinking: "Master Han, running a school is a great thing, how can such a grand event be without a lower official, and the lower official is willing to donate ten taels!" ”

"Master Han, humble ...... Five taels of humble office! ”

"The lowly position is also five taels!"

Datou is now a face-saving person, seeing that others are all out of silver, he also wants to come up with five taels, but thinking that such a big thing should be discussed with Cuihua first, he hesitated for a while and still didn't speak.

They were elated, but Cui Hao was a little upset in his heart, because Master Han would not help everyone solve their worries for no reason, and secretly thought that he was afraid that he would go into battle.
