Zhou Huanchun frowned, "You're back?" Did you just come back and entertain? Didn't you mean at night? ”

The little servant shook his head, "I don't know, the head of the family said so, you can go over." ”

Zhou Huanchun sighed, "Okay, you tell him, I'll go over." ”

After she had explained the last details, she got into the carriage.

On the carriage, Zhou Huanchun felt very strange, "This General Yin, just came back and was so anxious to see us, I didn't know, I thought he was eager to see us." ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "It's not certain, after all, no matter whether the Zhou family is in the limelight or your county lord's limelight, it's not so difficult to spread it." ”

Zhou Huanchun looked at him and chuckled, "Oh, anyway, my county lord's reputation is not very good, I just don't know if it can affect the Zhou family?" ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled: "The Zhou family is not something that anyone can influence if they want to, after all, I am controlling the public opinion outside." ”

Zhou Huanchun chuckled, the two laughed in the car, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the General's Mansion.

General's Mansion, they haven't been here, although they have heard the description, but they didn't expect that this residence is really a residence, and ordinary ones can't be more ordinary.

What other people's houses are like, what is his general's mansion like, the only difference is that there are three words hanging on the door: General's Mansion.

"Husband......" Zhou Huanchun was embarrassed.

Don't talk about Zhou Huanchun, Zhou Lingmo is embarrassed. Only Lin Yu and a few people who came to report to the General's Mansion would not be surprised or surprised.

"Oh, the head of the Zhou family, the lord of Zhou Ning, waiting for you." As soon as they got out of the carriage, a handsome young man came out of the door.

His body was long and muscular, his skin was dark, and there was a scar on his neck, where the artery was.

I thought he was a murderous person, but I didn't expect that his laughter could make people feel like a spring breeze.

"General Yin, I have admired the name for a long time." Zhou Lingmo said with a smile.

Yin Quan laughed, "Master Zhou, to you, I am the long-admired name." My servants know about you, otherwise do you think that the servants who have sent me will make decisions for me? ”

Zhou Lingmo raised her eyebrows, "I don't know where to worry General Yin?" ”

The corners of Yin Quan's mouth raised slightly, "Why don't you come in and talk?" Could it be that the head of the Zhou family is ready to let everyone stand outside? ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "There is labor to lead the way." ”

After following Yin Quan in, Zhou Huanchun found that in fact, it looked small from the outside, but it was only the front yard, and the backyard was expanded, but it didn't look very big.

In the backyard, there are some chickens, ducks and geese, and a vegetable garden, it is obvious that the soil is transported from the outside, two colors, roughly dig a pit and fill it with new soil before planting.

Otherwise, the geology in the northwest is dry and cracked, and there is a lot of sandy soil, which is not suitable for planting.

As soon as I reached the front yard, a young woman came out of the house, delicate and dignified, with a smile on her face.

looked at Yin Quan and said, "Husband, this is Engong, right?" ”

Eun Gong ???!

Zhou Huanchun was stunned, and Zhou Lingmo was also stunned, including Lin Yu, who had information in one hand, and said that he was not clear.

Yin Quan smiled: "Yes, this is my father-in-law, Zhou Lingmo." ”

When the general's wife saw Zhou Lingmo, she immediately owed a debt, "Engong, I have admired the name for a long time, please come to the hall to rest, and I will go to prepare the kitchen meals." ”

Everyone followed Yin Quan to the hall with an inexplicable face, and before he could speak, he saw Yin Quan kneeling on one knee and bowing his hand, "Engong, maybe you don't remember me, but I always remember you."

Back then, my father was fighting in this pass, but some people in the court were dissatisfied with my father and refused to provide support. My father had no choice but to let me go to the west and recruit bandits.

But this story was spread by the traitor, and I was assassinated on the way, and I was covered in blood and dying, but at that time, a caravan passed by and saved me. ”

Zhou Lingmo suddenly had some impressions, "Ah, three years ago? The boy who didn't say goodbye? ”

Yin Quan laughed, "Engong finally remembers, it was three years ago, Xu Shien Highway crossed the west side to do business, so he saved me by the way." If it weren't for Engong saving me, I might not have been able to deliver the letter in time.

Back then, I also asked Engong for forgiveness, but the war was really urgent, and I couldn't tell it, so I left without permission. ”

Zhou Lingmo stretched out his hand to help him up, "General Yin, I accept your worship, but you are an official, I am a people, and I must not do it in the future." Spread it out, so that people can see what it looks like. You and I don't have to be long, don't mind, I'm two years older than you, call me Brother Chen. ”

Yin Quan laughed, "Okay, Brother Chen, I won't be hypocritical with you, what are you going to do when you come to the northwest this time?" ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "This matter, when the two of us are in private, I will discuss it with you in detail." ”

Yin Quan smiled: "No problem, if there is anything in the northwest that you need my help with, just say it." ”

Zhou Lingmo snorted, "It's just that my wife is pregnant, and I bother you to prepare a room for her to rest." ”

Yin Quan nodded, and immediately beckoned a small servant to come and prepared a few rooms. The reason why he expanded the backyard of the general's mansion was to build guest rooms.

Although on weekdays, I don't entertain people, but there are still relatives and friends, and occasionally during the New Year's holidays, there is always a place to live.

Anyway, in this place, the imperial court has already given up, and there is no tax, and the people who live here do not need to be linked to the imperial court, and there is no such Jiangquan County on the territory of the imperial court.

Westinghouse is located on the left, and Jingguo is honored on the left, so Westinghouse is used for distinguished guests to live. Zhou Lingmo and Zhou Huanchun's room is in the Westinghouse.

The north house is for ordinary guests, such as Wang Hai, Ai Ye and Zhang Xiaohan, and the east house is a room for the next people.

"Brother Chen, there is no one now, can you say what you are here for?" Yin Quan smiled and poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "The area on your side, anyway, the imperial court doesn't want it anymore, and there is no such village on the map, which is equivalent to this, this is your general's mansion, right?" ”

Yin Quan laughed, "It can be said that it can be regarded as integrating into the big town in front, and this Quanxian County belongs to a private household, not a county." It's just because there are achievements in the northwest and the reward given by the imperial court.

If the tax is not collected, the territory of Jingguo is directly bounded by the northwest border pass, and this place is blank. ”

Zhou Lingmo nodded, "If this place is blank, does that mean that only you can use it, or can everyone use it?" ”

Yin Quan smiled, "Of course, everyone can do it, and whoever comes here to build a house, I welcome it, and there are no requirements." It turned out that there were only a few barren families here, and then my general's mansion was not established here?

Then there are a lot of people around who have come to take root here, anyway, it is not very far from Linxian County, basically go out in the morning to buy something to eat and come back, and you don't have to go out for two days a day. ”

Zhou Lingmo snorted, "I'm here, ready to mine the source, there are mines here." ”

Yin Quan was stunned, "Huh? In such a barren place, there are mines? ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled, "Yes, my wife found out, that's why I want to come and visit the local master." Since you said that anyone can build a house here, then I can mine the source, right? ”

Yin Quan nodded, "Yes, I'm not a master, you will mine if you find out, but since there is no jurisdiction here, there are no copywriting regulations, so naturally there is a gray area." If anyone ...... also come to mine, the court will not care.

If something really happens, I'm afraid that the court will take back your mineral source, after all, the whole world is not the king's land, and if the court is unreasonable, you will be helpless. ”

Zhou Lingmo nodded, "I know this." Originally, I was thinking, I can solve these things by myself, but I don't know if you can let go of it. Now that you are relieved, then the issue of mineral sources here will be handed over to me. ”

Yin Quan frowned, "Are you sure?" Barren people, it's not that I belittle, it's true that Diao, it's not an exaggeration to say that they are Diao people. Seriously, if I wasn't a general, guarding the border, they would have respected me, and if I really wasn't anything, they wouldn't have been so polite to me, you know what I'm saying? ”

Zhou Lingmo laughed, "Of course, but I have my own way." ”

"Convenient to inform?" Yin Quan asked.

Zhou Lingmo pondered: "Anyway, there is nothing to hide, as long as General Yin is tight-lipped, there will be nothing." I'm going to mine it, but I don't need them to pick and choose, but they pull all the stones out and transport them somewhere, and let my own people sift through them.

Externally, we need stones to build houses, so we mine here. If someone wants to make money, they can come and be quarrymen, and I can recruit them and collect stones generously. ”

Yin Quan laughed, "Okay, Brother Chen, you are not a businessman." ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "Compared to my wife, I am really ashamed, she is more business-minded than me." ”

Yin Quan smiled, "Mrs. Sister-in-law doesn't look like she is rumored, and I don't know, is my information wrong?" Looking at her appearance, she is gentle and homely, virtuous and virtuous. ”

In Zhou Huanchun's first impression of Yinquan, it was indeed like this, quiet and well-behaved, not as arrogant and domineering as rumored, and villainous.

At the beginning, Yin Quan knew the news, and felt that it was a pity, they all said that he would marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, why did his engong marry such a ......!?

Zhou Lingmo smiled, "This can only show that your brother Chen and I are too attractive, and after she married in, she has endured too much gossip." If you are a little aggrieved, if you resist, you will be said to be arrogant. All the rumors you hear are spread by women who are jealous of her and can't get me.

I can't help it, let's just say recently, in order to get close to me, he even married my father. ”

"I've heard of that." Yin Quan nodded, "It seems to be Zhou Qinglian, the number one beauty in the imperial capital?" ”

Zhou Lingmo raised her eyebrows, "You know about my affairs in a timely manner?" ”

Yin Quan laughed, "Of course, but I can just listen to some rumors in the restaurant outside." After all, this side is at the border gate, and I have sent some people to inquire about all kinds of information in the imperial capital, some of which can be reported once a month, and some of which can be sent back as soon as possible.

Then, about you, in fact, I didn't specifically inquire about it, so naturally someone said it, and I didn't recruit it. To be honest, I wanted to inquire deliberately, but it didn't bother. Ha ha! ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled, "Yes, in fact, in the imperial capital now, many of them are gossips from my Zhou family, both good and bad." However, it doesn't delay me in doing business. ”

Yin Quan nodded, "There are still many good reviews, so why don't you clarify it for your sister-in-law?" ”

Zhou Lingmo shook his head, "No, if it is clarified, it will seem deliberate." If you don't clarify, when you see her, you feel that it is different from the rumors, and you will naturally believe what you see with your eyes.

Wait for time, and see people's hearts over time. Don't worry, Zhou Qinglian used to spread a lot of rumors, but now her fate is not much better. ”

Yin Quan smiled, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "By the way, let me ask you a question, are you on the northwest border, have you ever deducted the issue of military salary?" ”

Yin Quan nodded, "That's inevitable, and in our hands, there won't be much." In addition to the normal consumption along the way, in our hands, one thirty percent is considered too much. ”

Zhou Lingmo snorted, "Recently, some people in the imperial court have made a fuss about military salaries, but it is not corruption, but the investigation of the problem of deducting military salaries." If the imperial court sends someone here, you can tell the truth, and my news is still okay. This time, the minister of the Imperial Mission is a loyal minister. ”

Yin Quan smiled, "Could it be that Brother Chen's people?" ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled, "Brother Quan can fight for his father, and he has some brains when he thinks about it, so I know that these things can't be hidden from you." Not bad, my people. ”

Yin Quan smiled, "Brother Chen, do you have someone who secretly supports you?" ”

Zhou Lingmo raised his eyebrows, "Brother Quan is late, can someone win him over?" ”

Yin Quan laughed, "Of course, except for the prince, they are all wooing me." But how do I think that the person who should win me over the most should be the crown prince? Why did the prince stay still? ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled, "The prince's mother's mother's family has an army in the north, which is very close to the imperial city, and the entire imperial capital is almost eighty percent of the queen's mother's army. Only twenty percent belong to the Emperor's Praetorian Guard, and there is no need for him to woo you. ”

Yin Quan sighed, "Brother Chen, who is your money bag not hanging on?" ”

What he said was very subtle, and some things could not be said explicitly, even if it was his benevolent father on the other side. If you can understand it, then it will be good, and everything will be negotiable.

If you don't understand, forget it.

Zhou Lingmo smiled slightly, "It's hanging on the prince." ”

Yin Quan was stunned, "What?" Hung on the prince? ”

Zhou Lingmo smiled, "Are you surprised?" ”

Yin Quan pouted, "No wonder, why didn't I say that the prince looked down on me!" It turns out that with such a money bag as you, it is not a problem to raise many troops. ”
