"Big brother, that's the case."

In Zheng Zhilong's mansion, Zheng Zhibao glanced at the brightly lit study not far away, and the nephews who were holding a ruler and copying the preface of the official under the supervision of Mr. Private School were sad faces, and told their brothers the situation during the day.

At the family banquet, Tian Chuan also told Zheng Zhilong, but he didn't know as clearly as Zheng Zhibao.

After hearing the fifth brother explain the cause of this turmoil clearly, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Since ancient times, he has only been rich for three generations, and Dashuai is so strict with his son, he must have thought of this."

"Therefore, I ordered the children of my Zheng family to also copy the preface of the Lingguan biography after they returned. And it can't be less than the young master of the Li family! ”

"Well done. Also, tell the kitchen, don't cook anything else for these children's meals these days, let them taste the food you and my brother ate at sea back then. Let them know about the hardships of their fathers! ”

Zheng Zhilong admired the Li family's family style in his heart, other families, children of prostitutes and gambles, and there are many uninhibited people. But I don't see being treated like this because of some drunken wild talk.

"Big brother, I also heard that the punishment of the second young master by the marshal seems to be more than just copying the preface of the official."

Zheng Zhibao was a little hesitant to tell Zheng Zhilong more information about what he had gotten.

In the inner house of Ning Yuanbo's mansion, Li Muhua occupied a courtyard alone. The flowers and trees in the courtyard are sparse, the pavilions and ponds are very delicately decorated.

In April, Guangzhou is already a little hot. In order to ventilate, Li Muhua's living room opened the windows and lowered the wide bamboo curtains of Xiangfei. Through the bamboo curtain, Li Muhua could vaguely be seen drinking tea and eating supper, listening to a mother-in-law in front of him.

"The old slave heard from the guards in the front yard that the second master was later called to the study by the master and reprimanded." That woman is Li Muhua's confidant, and she is telling her master the news she inquired. Hearing the news that Li Huabao was reprimanded and punished by Shouhan in public, Li Muhua couldn't help but have a smug smile on his face.

"The master said that if the second master stays in the mansion like this again, sooner or later he will become a disaster. While it's still too late. is also to punish the second master. Ordered him to leave for Guangxi in the next few days, and organize local people to build roads and bridges in Guangxi! ”

Since the mother-in-law is Li Muhua's confidant, she naturally knows everything about her master's careful thoughts. Who made her son the firstborn? Moreover, whether he is a prefect or a commander in Taiwan, he has reclaimed a bit of a wild area where most of the place is still under slash-and-burn cultivation. It's kind of on track. And. More importantly. Not only is there civil rule, but martial arts are stronger.

He led three battalions of more than 2,000 Dongfan soldiers, with his own guard battalion as the main force. Under the artillery fire of the Zheng family, he used bayonets to conquer two forts in a row and forced down one fort, and such a feats were immediately spread as a good story among the various departments of the Nanyue Army, and the prestige of the eldest and young marshal immediately rose to a new height, and quickly opened up the distance between him and the children of the Han guards.

These are all things that make Li Muhua laugh out loud in his dreams at night.

Therefore, this kind of thing of Li Huabao being punished by Shouhan for losing his temper in public, this mother-in-law also thinks that it must be something that the master likes to see, of course, she has to exaggerate it. Unexpectedly, it backfired.

"What did you say?"

Li Muhua was so shocked that she dropped the carved glass cup in her hand to the ground, and the hot tea was sprinkled on her newly made dress, and she didn't feel hot at the moment, but the people around her immediately rushed to deal with it, lest they burn her. Fortunately, there was not much tea in the glass cup, so there was no major problem. A maid picked up the teacup, saw that the carved glass cup was fine under the lamplight, and was about to return, but Li Muhua over there ordered very angrily: "You all go down first!" Throw this thing out there for me, and look at it! ”

The maid tightly held the glass cup in her hand that could make a family of five live without food and clothing for a few years, and lowered her eyebrows and followed the people out of Li Muhua's room.

Li Muhua naturally didn't care about a maid's small movements, she frowned, and her mind was spinning rapidly.

"What else do you hear?" Her voice was hoarse.

"And? The old man immediately called several bookkeepers in the house, and as for what he explained, the old slave did not know. However, a gentleman of the military division was caught by the old slave in private with a maid in the inner house, and he sued the old slave, and the old man ordered that the first battalion of the uncle's eastern soldiers be transferred to the second master, and the first battalion of soldiers from the guards brigade was transferred to the second master's guard. ordered the second master to leave for Guangxi immediately. ”

That's it!

Li Muhua couldn't help but clench the silver teeth in his mouth. If Shouhan has chosen Li Huayu as his heir in his heart, then at most, Li Huabao's absurd behavior will be punished, and he will not let his second son go to Guangxi to build roads in such a big way.

According to the customary routine of the Southern Guangdong Army, the first thing to do in order to control a region, strengthen the management of a region, and deepen the cultivation of this area is to build roads on a large scale. Through the construction of roads, we can deepen the influence and understanding of the region, and make clear the various customs and customs of the region, mountains and rivers, military history, products, minerals and other things. In the future, it can be developed and managed in an orderly manner based on this perfect road.

If there were any riots, rebellions, or the like in this area, the brigade of the Nanyue Army could rely on the road to quickly suppress the riot area. The same is true of the roads that are currently being intensively planned in the coastal areas of Fujian and near the provincial capital of Fuzhou, not to mention the road construction that is in full swing in Liangguang.

Now, Shouhan handed over the mission to Li Huabao to manage the road construction in Guangxi, and also allocated troops to him, money and food to him, so at least he was granted the same power as Li Huayu in Taiwan!

This can only mean one thing, that is, Shouhan has not yet finalized the heir among his sons! He wants to give his sons a stage to show their talents and abilities, let them play as much as possible on this stage, and finally determine the heir according to their table!

"When will the second master go out to Guangxi?" Li Muhua's voice regained his usual grace and nobility, and threw the anger just now into the Pacific Ocean.

"It should be these days. The people in his room had already started to pack his bags. My wife also sent someone over. ”

"Good. You pick out four of our maids here and take them to the second master's courtyard. Let's just say that I heard that he is going to Guangxi, how can there be no one to take care of his daily diet and daily life? Send four maids to him and let them take care of them by the second master's side. ”

Two days later, the Tianzi Wharf on the bank of the Pearl River.

Li Huabao stood on the trestle, facing his sister and younger siblings who came to see him off, oh, and Ao Lei Yilan, who was almost the same age as them, and Li Huamei's master, Liu Guidan, who still had a cold face and ignored the expression. There was not the slightest hint of banishment and disobscuration on his face, but he was quite high-spirited. The young face is full of yearning for the new life challenges that are about to be faced.

on the pier. A group of soldiers under the command of the officer. Carrying a backpack and carrying a weapon, they quickly boarded the big ship, and after the bloody battle of Gulangyu, the Dongfan soldiers already had an elite appearance, and were no longer those jungle warriors who relied on the courage of blood and blood to charge hand-to-hand combat.

"Don't cry. I'm just going to Guangxi. Didn't go to the moon. When my eldest brother went to Taiwan, I never saw you crying like this. ”

"Fortunately, although Guangxi is more desolate than Guangdong, it is also connected by the Yongjiang River. In the direction of Qinzhou, the sea ship can also arrive in one day and night, and there should be no big incident. Work well in Guangxi, Daddy's anger is gone, we will intercede for you in front of your mother, and let Daddy transfer you back. ”

"Sister! Don't! Li Huabao hurriedly stopped Li Huamei.

"I finally have a chance to be on my own, and I can go through the same experience as my eldest brother, but you want to snatch it away, you can bear it!"

Li Huabao argued with Hua Mei with a bare face, and it could be seen that deep down in his heart he was very proud that he could leave his parents' wings this time and face some things alone.

"It's good! My son of the Li family should be like this, with ambitions in all directions! ”

"That's right! Lay your own hunting ground for yourselves! ”

Li Huamei and Ao Lei Yilan praised Li Huabao's expression almost at the same time.

Liu Guidan, who was standing next to the trestle, was very dazed, as if he was looking at the table of this group of young people, and he didn't seem to see anything, and occasionally rolled his eyeballs and glanced at the figures of several maids who appeared on the bow of the boat. If you look closely, you will see that there is an extremely subtle trace of sneer and disdain on Yanagi's face.

Since Liu Guidan developed the routine of assassination and fighting techniques for the Nanyue Army, Shouhan gave her the name of the head of the assassination department, and she could walk around the army and guide the soldiers in assassination techniques. At the same time, she was given a good military salary as an offering for her.

However, this Taoist chief is also a strange character, even if Shouhan treats him like this, she still has a demeanor that ignores everyone, except for occasionally showing some smiles when facing Li Huamei, and then when she sees the soldiers of various departments practicing assassination techniques on the playground, she will have a somewhat relieved look, so that Shouhan will dispel the idea that she was not born by the midwife who pinched the expression muscles on her face.

In the face of such a person, the entire Ning Yuanbo Mansion was holding a kind of mentality of respecting ghosts and gods and staying away, trying not to provoke this demon. In this way, Liu Daochang was also happy to be free, and in addition to chanting scriptures and meditating and other homework every day, he went around the playground and instructed the sergeants in assassination and combat techniques.

Today, she was hard-pulled by Li Huamei, and accompanied this disciple to send this second master to Guangxi, unlike Ao Lei Yilan chatting with the second generation of the Li family, she was completely a passer-by who stayed out of the matter.

"The four of them are all virgins, with a charming physique, looking at the way they walk and their expressions, they should be characters who have been trained by masters. Unexpectedly, there is such a rumor in the palace of the Li family. ”

Looking at the four maids sent by Li Muhua who came in and out of the cabin from time to time to clean up the room and arrange the utensils for Li Huabao, Liu Guidan's eyes showed a sneer, and the hunter's joy when he saw the beast. She keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

She's not alone, though.

Ao Lei Yilan, who lived and grew up in the mountains, forests and grasslands of Heilongjiang, although pure as a crystal, is also a natural good hunter, and has an almost animal instinctive sense of danger and conspiracy.

Holding Li Huamei's arm, he looked at the group of butterflies on the ship going in and out of the cabin and deck like flowers. Ao Lei Yilan, who attracted the eyes of the young soldiers with lightning incessantly, wanted to say something about Li Huabao but was embarrassed to say it.

"Er Shao, those women, you have to be careful!"

Finally, Ao Lei Yilan burst out of her mouth with this sentence straight away.

Hearing what the Seventh Lady said, before others had time to say anything, Liu Guidan had already raised his eyebrows, since Ao Lei Yilan entered the mansion, everyone looked down on this woman from the cold land of the extreme north, thinking that she was an uncivilized savage.

If it weren't for Shouhan pampering her. And Li Huamei is very close to her. I'm afraid that everyone in the house will bully her to death openly and secretly.

And Liu Guidan, also hindering the face of the apprentice, pointed out Ao Lei Yilan's knife technique, and told her how to use her set of knife techniques summarized from practice. How to exert force. How to dodge and move to be faster and more ruthless.

But it was beyond Liu Guidan's expectations. This seemingly innocent woman, in addition to her amazing talent and physique in the art of fighting, has an amazing insight into the world.

"Aunt Seven. Feel relieved! It's a mess! Li Huabao winked at Ao Lei Yilan and thanked her for her kind reminder.

Regarding her brother's absurd behavior, Li Huamei was about to stretch out her hand to teach him a lesson, but Ao Lei Yilan held her arm and signaled that she didn't have to.

Perhaps because she was a little uncomfortable with the humid and sultry weather in the late spring of Guangzhou, Ao Lei Yilan suddenly felt a pang of annoyance in her chest, so she bent down and retched on the trestle.

"Seventh aunt, but you have a cold?" Several young masters and young ladies of the Li family stepped forward to ask with concern.

"Get out of the way!" Liu Guidan's cold voice came from behind them, "So many people surround her, the forehead is impenetrable, and people who are not sick will be suffocated out of illness!" ”

The people obediently dispersed to make way for the chief of the willow road.

"Seventh Madam, please borrow the pulse." didn't wait for Ao Lei Yilan to be willing, Liu Guidan's hand had already grabbed Ao Lei Yilan's vein, and three fingers were placed on the position of the inch ruler, giving her a pulse.

After a while, facing the concerned expressions of Li Huamei and the others, Liu Guidan's cold face showed a rare smile, "It's okay." Poor Dao is going to say hello to the Seventh Lady and the ranks. Ning Yuanbo's Mansion is going to add people to import again. ”

These words made Ao Lei Yilan can't help but fly two red clouds on her cheeks when she listens, this usually bold and generous mountain forest daughter, at this time is also a rare shyness.

Since she and Shouhan became husband and wife, as long as Shouhan had no particularly important business or was outside the battlefield, she had to stay in her room. After months of tireless hard work, the seeds sown by Shouhan began to take root and sprout in her fertile land.

"Congratulations to Aunt Seven!"

"Congratulations to Aunt Seven!"

Hua Mei led her younger brothers and sisters to say hello to Ao Lei Yilan, and the naughty one wanted to ask her for reward, which made her face red like a big red cloth. However, a few mothers-in-law of the Daur tribe beside her smiled after hearing this, and now that Ao Lei Yilan has the flesh and blood of the general, the mother is more precious than the son, and the relationship between the general and the Sauron department will only be closer in the future.

Nowadays, every month or two, there is a ship to the Sauron Department, to transport all kinds of goods needed by the trading station, to transport back the furs, Dongzhu, ginseng, raw gold and other goods produced there, through guò trade exchanges, the Southern Yue Army has established a very close relationship with the Sauron Department, it is hard to imagine that if this trade is suddenly cut off one day, the Sauron troops will be able to continue to live in the ice and snow.

While a few people were talking, Chen Fuxiang, Li Huabao's guard battalion officer, walked over from the other end of the trestle, "Second young marshal, the troops and supplies have been loaded onto the ship, when can the brothers of the sailor set off?" The dock should be vacated as much as possible and handed over to the next ship for shipment. ”

"Sue them, I'll board the ship immediately, and then we'll send troops to Guangxi to build roads!"

Li Huabao proudly said goodbye to Ao Lei Yilan, Li Huamei and several younger brothers and sisters one by one, "Everyone, let's go." ”

"Apprentice, as a teacher, I have to say goodbye to you."

Liu Guidan, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, said such a sentence coldly.

"Master, what do you mean by that? Is there something about the apprentice that makes you angry? ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Definitely! You are now crisscrossing the sea, with sharp gunfire, and you are the head of the division, but you are only a hand-to-hand combat skill, and there is nothing left to teach you. Moreover, since I arrived at the house, you and I have also gathered less and separated more, and our fate has ended. As a teacher, I haven't eaten Yongjiang water for many years, and today I can accompany the second young marshal to Bagui's hometown, which can be regarded as benefiting Sangzi. ”

Li Huamei turned around a few times in her heart, and couldn't help but guess a little bit about the master's deep friendship! Obviously worried that her younger brother was young, and the young woman with such a few purposes around her would miss a big event, and planned to accompany her younger brother to go. But the mouth is homesick, the so-called sea bass and lettuce!

With such a master, Li Huamei couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.

"Huabao! Come here! Kowtow to the master! I'll give him to you in the future! In one sentence, he said to the two people, and ordered Li Huabao to kowtow to Liu Guidan to thank him, but on the other hand, he was sincere to Liu Guidan.

"Don't dare! At most, Poor Dao is to help the second young marshal train the recruits everywhere and care about the second young marshal's daily life and diet. The second young marshal has to make his own decisions about big things! ”

singles the head, but Liu Guidan returned Li Huabao's kowtow gift. (To be continued......)
