Yu Sangu came back very late, Ren Yaen's father and daughter were all waiting for her, one was sitting under the oil lamp reading a book, and the other was sitting opposite to be a female celebrity.

Seeing her running into the house happily with a small piece of silk, Ren Yaen put down the book and asked, "Why did you come back here?" ”

After a busy day, Yu Sangu was tired and had back pain, but she still subconsciously asked: "Master, Yu'er, have you had dinner yet, and if you haven't eaten, I'll cook it for you." ”

"I've already eaten it, Yu'er made it." Ren Yaen looked at the silk she was holding and asked, "Third aunt, let's talk about how to get here before coming back." ”

"Working, until now." Yu Sangu put the silk aside, wiped her hands on her body, picked up the silk and unfolded it again, ran over and gestured on Yu'er's body, and said with her eyebrows: "Isn't Master Han promoted, many officials want to slap him, some come by themselves, some send their families, and all the salt officials from the surrounding salt farms are here, it seems that even the prefect has sent his family!" There are so many distinguished guests at once, no one can make tea, let alone no rice, so they have been busy until this point. ”

"Third aunt, you work so hard, Master Han should really give you a raise." Yu'er pushed away the satin and said with a bit of sarcasm.

"It's a lot to give two taels of silver a month, and I used to sell vegetables for a year to earn a few copper plates, but I can't be unpopular enough to swallow elephants. Besides, it's not so busy every day. Yu Sangu was very arrogant, and she didn't care about her, she rolled up the silk and sat down on the rattan chair brought by Ren Yaen from Yangzhou, with a happy smile on her face.

Although she came to fill the house, no matter what, she was a new daughter-in-law within a few days of entering the door, not only did she show up but also ran to Master Han's mansion every day, Ren Yaen also felt inappropriate at first, worried about being laughed at. Later, I walked around the town twice, and found that not only did no one gossip, but everyone praised her for her ability and her ability to run the house.

Then I think that this is Hai'an, not Yangzhou.

Many little girls are still running around with bare butts because their families are seven or eight years old, and even the daughters of the gentry such as Dean Gu, Yu Qinghuai and Wang Qianli still go to the street to buy vegetables and work in the fields, and those little daughters-in-law who have become wives are even more spicy than the other, Ren Yaen finally realized that women like Yu Sangu will not be laughed at, but women who do not leave the door will be laughed at, because in the eyes of the townspeople, it is lazy to do!

When you enter the township, you have to follow the customs, not to mention that it is a blessing to be able to marry such a capable woman in middle age, Ren Yaen glared at her sensible daughter, sat down and said with a smile: "Master Han is now the deputy of Lianghuaiyun, and those salt officials naturally want to come to congratulate." However, even the government sent family members, which surprised me a little. ”

"Master, what does Futai do?"

"Futai is the prefect of Yangzhou, an official who is bigger than Zhang Zhizhou!"

"My good man, the mansion is so big, so Master Han's official is also very big!"

"You just know." Ren Yaen poured her a cup of tea, smiled at the silk she was holding tightly and asked, "Where did this silk come from?" ”

Speaking of silk, Yu Sangu looked embarrassed: "Aren't you busy today, I can't be busy alone, so I called the lady Qian, the fourth aunt at the entrance of the alley, and the second girl of Li's lame family to help." Seeing that Master Han wanted to give the gifts given by others to Ji Daji and them, and asked the second child of Wang Ruhai's family to help send them, Mrs. Qian Dagui was cheeky and asked Master Han to ask for it, saying that the four girls in her family were going to get married next year, and wanted a few feet of red silk to help her four girls make wedding dresses. ”

"She wants you, you can't."

"I didn't ask for it, it was given by Master Han!" Yu Sangu smiled proudly: "Master Han doesn't know how generous he is, as soon as the mother-in-law of the Qian Dagui family opened her mouth, he agreed, and asked someone to cut a piece of silk into four pieces, gave the Qian Dagui mother-in-law a few feet, gave the fourth aunt a few feet, gave the second girl of the Li lame family a few feet, and gave me the rest!" ”

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Yu Sangu's personality couldn't be clearer, and she couldn't help muttering: "Third aunt, Qian Dagui's family is thick-skinned, but she is also timid, so she doesn't dare to open this mouth with Master Han, it must be you!" ”

Yu Sangu was in a hurry, jumped up suddenly, and threw the silk on the ground: "Miss Ren, why don't you know what to do!" You think this silk is for me, no, I'm asking for it! You are also a big boss, you will have to go out of the cabinet sooner or later, your father is a talented man, and he can't save much dowry, so he can't even have a decent wedding dress! ”

"I don't want it!"

"Don't, I see you have a hard mouth!"

"I'm not going to marry, I won't tell you, you won't understand it." Yu'er felt that the theory with Yu Sangu was to play the piano to the cow, so she threw down the needle and thread and ran into the room.

Ren Yaen hurriedly picked up the silk and dusted it, and persuaded her: "Third aunt, Yu'er is still young, don't be like her." ”

"Master, you said me...... You said you were busy, what the hell are you trying to do! The more Yu Sangu thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and tears flowed down.

Ren Yaen was the dean of the academy who was not smiling in front of outsiders, but she always had a smile in front of Yu Sangu, pulled her into the room like a child, and said in a gentle voice: "Sangu, you have been wronged." Yu'er is not sensible, see how I teach her tomorrow. ”

"Not sensible, how can she be ignorant when she is eighteen. Master, I can see that she looks down on me. ”

"Nonsense, you are her stepmother, how can she look down on you? Besides, she can stay in this house for a few days, the man should get married, and the woman should get married, and it will be okay when she gets married. ”

"Who would marry her, who would want like her?"

As Yu Sangu said, Ren Yuer's marriage really gave Ren Yaen a headache. If it is in Yangzhou, although Ren Yuer is not a lady, she is also a small jasper. But this is not Yangzhou, this is Hai'an, and I really can't find the right person to go out. And those ordinary people, with Ren Yu's arrogant temperament, will not agree to marry nine times out of ten.

……

Just when the two of them were worried about Ren Yu's marriage, Qingzhuang of the Baojia Bureau, who was keeping vigil at the entrance of Lujia Alley, stopped more than a dozen uninvited guests.

"Stop, don't move!"

"Walking at night with weapons, you must not be a good person, fourth, hurry up and sound the gong!"

The people in the salt fishing camp have all been promoted, and they have all gone back to glorify their ancestors, there is a big head left next to Master Han, and the young man who is keeping vigil at night does not dare to be careless, and the husband who is keeping vigil together is preparing to sound the gong to warn, and a person who has just landed on the shore shouted eagerly: "Fourth, don't sound the gong, don't alarm Master Han, I'm Jiang Huai!" ”

"Jiang Bantou, isn't he an official in Yangzhou, why did he come back?" The husband reacted and hurriedly greeted him with a lantern and asked.

"Don't mention it, what about Master Han, I heard that Master Han didn't go back to his hometown in Sichuan, but went back to Hai'an?"

"Come back, in the threshing floor in the west of the city." The husband looked at his disgraced appearance, and then looked at the few old faces behind him who were not only disgraced, but also full of injuries, and couldn't help asking: "Lu Daming, Liang Liu, you are also back." What about the others, what about the head of the team, why didn't they come back? ”

"I'll tell you later, take us to see Master Han first."

"It's not appropriate to go to see Master Han so late, we just came from the threshing floor, and Master Han has already rested."

"Don't talk nonsense, we have a hundred thousand urgent military intelligence!"

"There's a military intelligence, okay, I'll take you there."

……

Han Xiufeng, who was woken up by his husband outside the courtyard, never expected Lu Daming, Liang Liu and Jiang Huai to come back so quickly, and asked the big head to open the door and call them to come in first, and when they put on their shoes and put on their clothes and walked into the hall, they and the nine Xiangyong who came back with them all knelt in front of the Eight Immortals table, some were in rags, and some were not only ragged but also wounded, each more embarrassed than the other.

Han Xiufeng chuckled in his heart, and directly thought that the bandits entrenched in Yangzhou City had been killed, and asked eagerly: "Da Ming, what's wrong with you, what's going on?" ”

"Master Han, the little ghost is obsessed, the little one shouldn't believe Zhang Yiguo's nonsense, and it turned out like this, and so many brothers died, the little one is sorry for you, the little one ......" Lu Daming couldn't regret it, and he burst into tears as he spoke, and he couldn't go on.

"Let's talk about what's going on, what the hell has happened?"

"Yesterday at noon, the bandits ...... The bandits suddenly killed out of the city, the officers and soldiers were killed by surprise, we and the villagers who had just been recruited in Jiangdu and Ganquan were also taken by surprise, Li Hai died, Liu Er died, Chen Biao died, Chen Hu took dozens of villagers to the southern border to prevent blockage, I don't know whether they are dead or alive, and it is estimated that there are many auspicious and unlucky. ”

How can there be immortals in the war, Han Xiufeng really didn't care about the life and death of those villagers, so he grabbed Lu Daming's shoulder and asked: "Where did the bandits rush to kill, how many people came out, and where are they now?" ”

"Master Han, the bandits didn't come to our side, they went west, and I don't know if they plan to go back to Jiangning, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people, dense, you can't see the end at a glance, and you will kill people as soon as you see them, you really can't stop them!" Jiang Huai's heart palpitated, and he couldn't help wiping his sweat.

Officers and soldiers can't stop it, let alone them.

Han Xiufeng thought about it and asked, "What about Yangzhou City?" ”

"Master Han, the thieves haven't all left, there seem to be a lot of them in Yangzhou City," the more Lu Daming thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and cried: "Master Han, the new Futai and those county lords don't treat us as human beings at all, let us recruit young people to prevent blockage, and besiege the city with officers and soldiers." Not only did they not give money and food, but they all hid in the fairy temple, and we had so many brothers who died, and they had nothing to do. ”

"How many brothers have died?" Han Xiufeng asked in a low voice.

"One hundred and ten." Jiang Huai raised his head and peeked at it, and said uneasily: "Some brothers are besieging in the east, and the bandits didn't go to them, so they're fine." There are also some brothers in the fairy temple, and the ones in the fairy temple are fine. ”

"Why are you going?"

"Master Han, it's not us who are going, it's Master Lei who asked Zhang Yiguo to take us there."

"What about Zhang Yiguo?"

"Scattered, I don't know if I'm dead or alive."

Governor Yan Zhang Yiguo was too impressed by the big head, and couldn't help but say: "Da Ming, the sixth child, don't you know what kind of person Zhang Yiguo is, if he has won a battle, he will lose the battle!" Go to war with him, you have eight lives and you won't be enough to give! ”
