The autumn of Yongchang in September is very strong, and the sky is getting dark at the beginning of the unitary. Dong'er asked the children playing in the courtyard to prepare for dinner, remembering that Jiang Anyi was still wearing a single shirt, and took a jacket to the study. In the study, Jiang Anyi took the letter and pondered, and his figure condensed into a silhouette in the dark.

Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Anyi raised his head, and Dong'er said, "Jiang Lang, the children are waiting for you to eat." It's cool, add some clothes. ”

Jiang Anyi stood up, took the jacket and put it on, Dong'er thoughtfully buttoned his shirt for him, glanced at the letter on the table, and asked casually, "Is it okay for Uncle to be in the north?" ”

Smelling the faint scent of bluegrass at the end of his nose, Jiang Anyi felt that his dizzy head was clear. The three women around her have different personalities and use different perfumes, Xinfei has a strong personality and likes the strong fragrance of oak flowers, Dong'er has a gentle temperament and uses an elegant fragrance such as bluegrass, while Tong'er likes plum, and her perfume naturally uses plum fragrance. The Jiang family has now developed as many as 12 types of perfumes, smelling the fragrance and knowing the woman, what kind of woman do these 12 fragrances belong to?

Jiang Anyi thought wildly, Dong'er happily held Jiang Anyi's hand, and the two came to the dining hall. Several children were noisy at the table, Xinfei took the dishes from the servants and put them on the table, and Tong'er was placing the dishes and chopsticks, so lively.

Dong'er scooped duck soup into a bowl for a few children, and advised: "Drink more soup when the weather is cold, to drive away the cold and warm the stomach and nourish." When you sweat, you must wipe it off with a towel first, otherwise you will easily get cold. ”

Tong'er smiled: "When did Sister Dong'er become Langzhong, my throat has been dry for the past two days, what should I eat?" ”

Before eating, Jiang Anyi asked a few words about Chenzhi and Chenyi's studies, Li Donghong taught him very carefully, and the two children already knew a lot of words. Xinfei handed the chopsticks to Jiang Anyi's hand and said with a smile: "Don't keep a straight face to the child all day long, Zhi'er and Yi'er are a little afraid of you, eat." ”

Jiang Anyi remembered that his younger brother said in the letter that the north was cold, and confessed: "An Yong wrote that the north is cold, you go to the West Market to buy more warm furs and send them to the army, so that An Yong and his guards can wear them." ”

Tong'er took care of the family's business and knew the market of fur fur very well, so she interjected: "When Jiang Lang was in Huazhou, he asked Baigong to study the skills of carpet weaving and tanning, and it has achieved results. The number of carpets, leather coats, and furs purchased from merchants in Huazhou has surged, and the price has increased by nearly 30% compared with previous years, and our carpet and leather shops have also made a lot of money in the past few years. The things in the Xishi fur shop are expensive and unused, I wrote a letter to ask my shop to send some, and sent them directly from Huazhou to Zhenbei Daying, and it took about 20 days, and I couldn't miss anything. ”

Dong'er said: "Let the shop pick out some fur fur and send it to the house, the children grow up fast, last year's clothes can't be worn this year, I plan to sew a few more clothes for them this winter." ”

Jiang Anyi frowned and said: "Although our family is not short of money, we can't waste it too much, a coat will not be broken for a few years, and the big one can't be worn and changed to let the small one be worn." Since the shop in Huazhou was asked to send fur furs, they simply sent more, and the family picked a few pieces, as well as Senior Brother Fan, Brother Liu, and Tian Shoulou, and sent some there, Sichen was going to get married at the end of the year, and prepared more for her as a dowry. How is Siqing progressing with Xiao Changshi of the right guard, do you want to prepare for her too? ”

Xin Fei said with a smile: "Siqing's good deeds are estimated to be after the year, but the clothes can be prepared, and I will ask the two girls to pick them up by themselves when the time comes." ”

Siqing and Pan Heyi blew up, Xin Fei was angry and anxious, and Tuotian Shoulou inquired where there was a suitable candidate. Tian Shoulou was very familiar with the situation in Beijing, and he really lived up to his trust and sent three names, and they were both literate and martial, all of which were the same age as Si Chen. Wen's Li Laigao came forward, Wu's He Xigui arranged, made an appointment with someone or Wenhui, or hunting, and after several contacts, Siqing had a fate with Xiao Shengyi, the long history of the right guard, and finally settled Xinfei's heart.

Dong'er was afraid of the cold, and said with a bitter face: "You can keep warm by wearing a fur coat, but there is no place to hide these hands, you have to wear a handset everywhere, and it is really inconvenient to do things." Uncle, they are already cold in the north, and they can't hold knives and guns while wearing handguns, and they will definitely get frostbite on both hands in the winter. ”

Jiang Anyi's heart moved, he had seen the gloves on his fingers in the memory of the demon master, and now Huazhou has been able to tann leather, if he can make sheepskin gloves on his five fingers, he can bend freely on his hands, which can keep him warm and will not affect his grip, it should be useful to An Yong.

As soon as she said the idea, Tong'er's eyes immediately lit up, and she smiled coquettishly: "Jiang Lang, this method is good, this matter will be handled by the concubine, and we will ensure that our family can earn more than 100,000 taels of income every year." ”

Jiang Anyi was displeased and said: "Tong'er, don't always think about money when you do anything, it's not a good thing to have too much money, as the saying goes, money is the root cause of trouble, be careful of causing trouble." ”

Tong'er playfully stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, which made several children laugh "Gege".

Xin Fei couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Jiang Lang, Sister Tong'er is also thinking about her family, how can you blame her indiscriminately." ”

Tong'er said softly: "Sister, the last time the eunuch of the East Palace came to ask for perfume and was blocked by me, and then Jiang Lang went to the East Palace and was snubbed by the prince, and now there are people in Beijing who say that Jiang Lang has hated the prince, I am afraid that it is because of stinginess." ”

Xin Fei said angrily: "You didn't do anything wrong in this matter, the villain of the East Palace used the name of the prince to make profits everywhere, there have long been grievances in Beijing, the prince can't restrain his subordinates, and he will eventually cause trouble." Jiang Lang is nominally the prince's teacher, and it is also the responsibility of not teaching the teacher strictly, and the concubine thinks that Jiang Lang might as well be direct to the Son of Heaven and directly reprimand. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly: "Xiong Guozhang, He Ziying and others have persuaded the prince, but I hate Cheng Mingdao to bewitch His Royal Highness and say that he wants to let the people around him benefit so that he can be loyal, at the moment I am not in the East Palace, I am not in his position and do not seek his own government, long live the dragon guard and the secret guard as the eyes and ears, I want to come to these things and find out, long live and the prince are father and son, why should I bother myself." ”

"I just said that Tong'er should not always think about money, and there is no need to offend the East Palace for money, but the main thing is that gloves are such objects that can allow Mobei soldiers to protect their hands, and they will be able to have more strength when they fight in the future, this is a major matter that is beneficial to the country, don't always think about making money, how can there be a home without a country, this truth must be clear."

Tong'er rolled her eyes and smiled slyly: "I understand what Jiang Lang said. Gloves are military supplies, which can increase the combat power of the soldiers of the Mobei Army, which is a great achievement, and it is too stupid to exchange it for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and it should be dedicated to the court and let the Son of Heaven be crowned an official. ”

Jiang Anyi looked at Tong'er with some dumbfounded, this brain turned too fast, Xinfei smiled: "If Tong'er, this girl, goes to be an official, she will definitely be much more powerful than Jiang Lang." ”

Several children looked at Tong'er with admiration, and Jiang Yunjing applauded and smiled: "Mother is so amazing." ”

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and said: "Tong'er's method is good, but my promotion is too fast, it takes time to precipitate, and I don't need this credit right now." Tong'er, you work hard tonight, let the servant woman at home help make a few samples and bring them to your uncle's mansion tomorrow, and ask him how the Li family will operate. ”

Tong'er said gratefully: "Thank you Jiang Lang, when the time comes, I will call Donghong and Lai Gao, and now the uncle is interested in these two boys." ”

…………

The autumn wind is tight in September, and the weather is cool day by day.

The drill of the sixteen guards in the capital became tense, and the people and horses of the East Palace led the mansion often pulled out to practice with the sixteen guards, and He Xigui said excitedly when he returned to the mansion that General Xue asked them to step up their training, and the court was likely to send the people and horses of the Sixteen Guards and the East Palace to the Northern Desert to participate in the war. He Xigui shined in the sparring, many of the generals of the Sixteen Guards were defeated under him, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also made a special trip to summon him to encourage a few words, to make contributions to the country for him, and to earn face for the East Palace.

In September, the court issued two orders, one was to let the craftsmen of the ordnance supervisor go to the garrison of Beidaying in Leizhou and Dengzhou Town, manufacture ordnance nearby, and requisition the wives from Leizhou, Dengzhou, Chenzhou, and Hengzhou to serve in front of the army. The second is to order all prefectures and counties to recruit soldiers, strengthen training, and select the best to enrich the four major capitals, and the second to recruit soldiers or regiments for training.

Da Zheng adopted a conscription system, giving 12 horses of silk cloth, 12 stones of corn, and a number of salt, vinegar, and wine. These seemingly good treatments are actually superficial articles, and there are many phenomena in the barracks such as seniority, gangs, bullying newcomers, and deducting military salaries, so there is a saying among the people that "good iron does not hit nails, and good men are not soldiers".

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the battle between Zhenbei Camp and Moqi was said to be a great victory, killing 8,000 Moqi, including 2,000 Black Wolf Army, Shi Kang Qianfeng, deputy director of the Military Intelligence Department, was promoted to three levels to become the deputy town guard on the seventh grade, and the disciples of the Wind Thunder Gate who had obtained information with him were all promoted to one level, and the Wind Thunder Gate recorded a great achievement.

The power of example is enormous, and for a while, the Jianghu people of the Military Intelligence Department have asked for help, and all kinds of information have come one after another, which makes Huang Xi both happy and worried, there is too much information, there is true and false, and the difficulty of distinguishing is greatly increased.

There are not many people in Jingzhong who know the real battle situation, but there are many people in Jingzhong who are old treacherous and slippery, and they can find a lot of things from the two wills. When the real situation came from the Mobei camp, the voices of the powerful children who were clamoring for meritorious service in the Northern Expedition were much quieter, meritorious service is a good thing, but survival is more important.

On December 8, the auspicious day of the zodiac, Li Laigao married Sichen. The Li Mansion of the Taifu Temple was full of lights, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, and this marriage was eye-catching in Beijing. The Li family is one of the top ten families, although it has declined somewhat in recent years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse; Secondly, the Li family and the Jiang family married, this time Li Laigao married Mrs. Jiang Anyi's younger sister, and the relationship between the two families became more and more unbreakable. Fourth, the Li family recently offered a kind of glove thing, which can keep the hands of the Northern Desert soldiers warm, and the Son of Heaven is overjoyed, and personally commends the Li family for their light wealth and patriotism, which is worthy of being a model for the family.

In the words of the king of Ningling County, the old Li family saw that the fire was about to be extinguished, and when the wind blew, it actually became prosperous again. Time, luck, and fate, Li Laigao, a kid, got married, and sent a congratulatory gift to end the small grievances with Li Donghong back then.
