After eating lunch, Han Xiufeng invited Fei Erye and Yu Youfu to go to the study to drink tea and chat, Zhuzi, Guan Xiaohu and Yu Tiesuo and other stinky boys are all people who have mixed in the yamen, each has more eyesight than the other, and takes the initiative to help Cuihua, Ren Yuer and Yongxiang's families clean up the leftovers.

Qin'er and her sister were busy packing up their luggage, and when they were packing up their luggage and bringing the souvenirs they brought from their hometown, they deliberately picked out some Sichuan tea and bacon sausages and gave them to Yongxiang's daughter-in-law who came to help cook the rice, and even asked Chen Chongdi's family to bring back a copy.

When Han Xiufeng walked into the main hall again, I don't know who had borrowed the Eight Immortals Table had already moved away, the room was cleaned up, and several Taishi chairs and coffee tables had also been restored to their original places. Zhuzi, Guan Xiaohu, Wang Guisheng, Yu Tiesuo, Gu Tenon, Zheng Yuanbao, Jiang Liu, Monkey and others did not dare to sit, and honestly lined up behind the two rows of Taishi chairs.

Qin'er knew that they were going to get down to business, so she hurriedly carried the little guy into the inner house, and Ren Yu'er and Cuihua also hurriedly followed. My sister wanted to know how the fourth brother planned to arrange her marriage with Zhuzi, and she wanted to know what errand the fourth brother would help Zhuzi, help coax the little guy into the inner house and run to the back of the main hall to eavesdrop.

"Big head, what are you doing standing there, come and sit, sit down and talk! Ruguang, although you have not joined the army, you are still an official, sit here. Second Master Fei knew that there were no rules, not to mention that these people were all brought by him from his hometown, and when he saw that all the people had arrived, he pointed to the empty chair under his head: "Guisheng, you can also sit." ”

Seeing that Wang Guisheng was a little hesitant, Han Xiufeng also pointed to the chair and smiled: "Listen to the second master, sit down and talk." ”

Qin Ruguang is not only honest, but also not good at talking.

Wang Guisheng is different, his father is the county government's torture room manager, he plays elementary school law, and even has a free time in the county government and the government government like Han Xiufeng, not only has a little ink in his stomach and is very good at things, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Xie Han and the second master give the seat." ”

It's good that he didn't speak, but when he spoke, everyone became more nervous.

Second Master Fei knew that most of them were playing with Han Si, and seeing that the atmosphere was not only a little tense but even a little embarrassing, he pretended to sigh in surprise: "Zhixing, I didn't expect that there is such an elegant mansion in the countryside, and it costs a lot of money to rent this mansion, right?" ”

"This yard is the property of a rich man in the village, who has a bigger and more elegant house in the city, and he comes back for a few days every year when he collects rent. I heard that I didn't want to live in the yamen, so I took the initiative to vacate this yard, and he didn't want to charge one or two rents. ”

"It's not expensive, it's really not expensive compared to the capital." Second Master Fei nodded slightly.

Han Xiufeng was in a hurry to reunite with his wife and children, and he didn't have so much effort to greet him, and then changed his words: "Pillar, Xiaohu, Iron Lock, I, Han Si, am not a person who forgets his roots, I am really happy that you have traveled thousands of miles to join me, and I also want to help you find an errand, and even want you to be as good as the big head, and you can glorify your ancestors in the future." It's just that although I am now doing a civilian official, I am doing the errand of a military attaché. ”

Zhu Zi was afraid that Han Si would think that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he couldn't help but say: "Fourth brother, if you join the army, you will join the army, I am not afraid of hardship, and I am not afraid of death, as long as I can get ahead, you can let me do anything!" ”

"Pillar, you're not afraid of death. But I'm afraid, I'm afraid of your death, and my sister and your mother are even more afraid! Han Xiufeng's face was straight, and he continued: "You should all know, I am good, or the big head, including Pan Er, who is waiting in Beijing to take office in Taizhou, we people can rely on all the military exploits today, I and the big head dare not say that it is nine deaths, but it is not an exaggeration to describe the rest of the life after the catastrophe." ”

When Han Xiufeng mentioned this, Second Master Fei thought it was true, and couldn't help but sigh: "In the post of Hai'an Patrol Inspector, I personally led the archers and young men to investigate and arrest the most vicious private lords; In Taizhou Prefecture, he led a thousand villagers to fight hard with Changmao, held on to Wanfu Bridge, and kept Taizhou, Yanchang and Tongzhou (Nantong) and other places; Finally, he was ordered to go to Shanghai on an errand, and encountered chaos in the party...... Zhixing, in my opinion, this is nine deaths and one life, it is not easy for you and the big head to have today! ”

"Iron lock, it's not easy for me to be with your eldest brother, your father knows best." Han Xiufeng looked at Yu Youfu and said meaningfully: "Your father once investigated the smugglers with me, and dozens of people were killed and wounded in one night!" Most of the people who survived the nine deaths later became village warriors, and they went with me to stick to Wanfu Bridge, and there are only a handful of people who are still alive as far as I know. ”

"I didn't feel scared at that time, but now I think about it, I'm really scared." Yu Youfu smiled bitterly.

Han Xiufeng nodded, and continued: "In short, if you want to make a meritorious contribution and become an official and a half-job, it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, as long as there is a war merit school, it is not a matter of being promoted to a general manager or even a thousand generals." And where does the war merit come from, in the final analysis, it is to kill people, and it is not difficult to kill people, cut down with a knife, stab down with a spear, and the thief will die, the difficult thing is how to survive! ”

Jiang Liu came to defect when he was desperate, and he had already gone out, so he knelt down and said: "Fourth master, I am really not afraid of death, I seek wealth and danger, and I ask the fourth master to give the little one a chance to make a contribution." ”

"Fourth master, I'm not afraid, ask the fourth master to eat!" When the monkey saw that the big head had become the president of Zhengliupin, he was so envious that he knelt down and begged.

"You're really not afraid, have you really thought about it?"

"I'm really not afraid, I'm really not afraid of the little one, I beg the fourth master to take it in!"

Thinking of how long these two people had been in the Chaotianmen Wharf where fish and dragons were mixed, and they had fallen to the current field, which had something to do with themselves, Han Xiufeng muttered: "The most dangerous and easiest errand in my river camp is to serve, since you have made up your mind, I will send someone to send you two to the scout team later." ”

"Xie Siye took it in, Xie Siye carried it!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you, there is a sentence I have to say in front, if you join the army, you are the soldiers of the imperial court, you have to listen to the orders of the officials, and you have to abide by the rules of military discipline and camp. If you don't listen to the orders of the superiors, or violate military discipline, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship of my fellow countrymen, and don't blame me for tearing and slashing horses! ”

"Fourth master, don't worry, the little one won't dare to lose your face if he is killed."

"Okay, get up."

Gu Jiu and Zheng Yuanbao wanted to make a contribution, but they both looked at the pillar together, and the pillar realized that he couldn't stop talking, and said cautiously: "The fourth brother, the sixth brother and the monkey are not afraid, what do I have to be afraid of, you let me also be a scout." ”

Han Xiufeng knew that he wanted to get ahead, and he knew that he didn't want his sister to be unable to raise her head, but Han Xiufeng didn't want his cousin to be widowed, so he said in an unquestionable tone: "Zhuzi, don't be upset when you say it, the sixth and the monkey have done scouts, and you may not be able to do it." However, your family has been working for several generations, and if you want to get ahead, you can only go out to fight for military merits, you and Xiaohu, Iron Lock, Ancient Tenon, and Yuan Bao go to Zhongying together, first follow the practice of single knife spear martial arts, and wait for the practice to stay by my side and be my personal companion. ”

Thinking that he couldn't beat Jiang Liu in a fight, and he couldn't run away from a monkey, Zhu Zi could only stubbornly say, "Okay, I'll listen to the fourth brother." ”

"Fourth brother, what about me?" Wang Guisheng couldn't help but ask.

"Guisheng, you are a scholar, or a prisoner, you can speak, write and calculate, you are too aggrieved to be a soldier, if you are willing, I will send you to Master Chen to listen to it later, and help handle the money and food in the camp."

"Yes, Fourth Brother Xie."

"I told you at the table just now that the river camp is not an ordinary green camp, and no matter what wind and grass are in the camp, it can't escape the emperor's eyes and ears. Therefore, it is easy to make a career in the river, but it is difficult to make a fortune. ”

"Fourth brother, I know, before I came, my father said that although my Wang family is not a rich and noble family, it is not short of money, and I Wang Guisheng will not take a penny if I shouldn't take it!"

Han Xiufeng may not believe it when others say this, Han Xiufeng is convinced when he says this, because his father has been in the torture room for so many years, don't look at the shabby clothes on weekdays, in fact, the oil and water are not less, and the silver hidden at home is not 10,000 taels but 8,000 taels, it can be said that his family is not short of money, but only lacks an official master who can help the glory of the ancestors.

"It's good to know," Han Xiufeng motioned for him to sit down, and looked at Qin Ruguang with a smile and said, "Ruguang, you are different from the pillars, you are an official." In my opinion, you will stay here for a few days, and then go to the capital with the second master in a few days, and I will help you write a letter to the provincial pavilion before leaving, and the director of the provincial pavilion Zhang will help you do it.

As for what I can make up for, I can't help if I want to, but if I am really sent to the Jiangnan camp or the Jiangbei camp, I can help ask for a letter to Xiang Shuai or the two Huai salt envoys Guo Peilin Guo to help you find a better errand. ”

Without waiting for Qin Ruguang to speak, Second Master Fei couldn't help but ask: "Zhixing, what if Ruguang is distributed to Zhili?" ”

"Almost all of Zhili's soldiers are now in Jinghai, if they are really sent to Zhili, it will be easier to go to Jinghai to quell the chaos. There are more than 300 soldiers in my river camp who are serving in Jinghai, and when the time comes, I will ask Wang Qianli, who is leading the troops in Jinghai, to help me think of a way to see if I can find an opportunity to transfer Ruguang to the river camp. ”

"Master Xie Han carries, Master Xie Han takes care of it."

"They are all fellow villagers, so I can't talk about thanks." Han Xiufeng smiled, got up and said, "Let's go here today, big head, Jueming, send Zhuzi, Xiaohu and Lao Liuqi to Master Chen to register and make a register, and by the way, help to get the hat, coat and weapon." ”

"Fourth brother, where do they stay at night?" The big head couldn't help but ask.

"Since you have joined the army with an iron heart, you will naturally live in the camp at night." Han Xiufeng looked around at everyone, thought about it and admonished: "When you get to the camp, you will know how my battalion officer led the troops, not only will you not receive any preferential treatment because you are a fellow villager with me, but if you really commit something, you will be punished even more severely because you are a fellow villager with me!" ”

"This is the river camp, and the law is martial, so don't take it seriously." Second Master Fei also reminded.

"Fourth brother, if you put a hundred hearts, we will only give you a long face, and we can't disgrace you if we are killed." Yu Tiesuo thought about it and couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, what about my father, you haven't said what my father did?" ”

"Your father will go to the capital with the second master in two days," Han Xiufeng looked back at Yu Youfu, who was smiling and silent, and said helplessly: "Actually, I originally planned to help you find an errand in the capital, you can go to the mansion to do chores, or you can go to the provincial pavilion to run errands, but you all want to get ahead, so you can only let you stay in the camp." ”
