Chapter 214: The Wild Goose
On the second day of October, Huo Bao, the owner of the horse village, and Shui Jin took 6,000 men and horses and crossed the river to Lingshui to pay tribute.
The child soldiers went up and down, Huo Bao only brought Zhu Gang, the commander of the pro-military battalion, and the rest stayed in Jinling to attend classes.
Cultural classes, martial arts classes, and art of war courses, the courses are full, and they were formulated after Huo Bao discussed with Hou Xiaoming, Huo Bao, and Qiu Wei.
At that time, Hou Xiaoming, Qiu Wei and others didn't know that they were also "students", the curriculum was densely arranged, and the rules were also set rigidly.
When the class was almost ready, Huo Bao informed the three of them that they were also on the list, and the three of them were dumbfounded.
Only Huo Bao snickered, this was a lesson for several teenagers.
The blisters on the feet are all walked by themselves, and everything should be thought out and there should be room for improvement.
This time Huo Bao went out, Hou Xiaoming got the news, came over three times, and wanted to escort Huo Bao out, but Huo Bao refused without hesitation.
Even Huo Bao's side was almost crying, and he was also kept by Huo Bao.
It's Qiu Wei, who knows his shortcomings and goes to class with peace of mind.
The child soldiers also began to train in rotation, and Huo Bao took 1,000 soldiers with him when he traveled.
There were 5,000 people left, and the master of the horse village brought 2,000 and the water into 3,000.
Jinling Guandu, there are already two building ships on standby.
An Yong greeted him, and this time he led people to send everyone across the river.
Yu Dutong went back to Chaohui, and the relocation of Chaohu Water Division was also a major event, and there were many things that needed to be taken care of.
The defense of the Jinling River, in order to guard against Yangzhou, left An Yong, who was good at water warfare, stayed behind.
After greeting Huo Bao and the others, An Yong looked behind Huo Bao.
Huo Bao said: "Changsheng is not here, stay in Jinling, and go to class with the leopard!" ”
An Yong disagreed: "He is the companion of Xiao Baoye, and he should be by Xiao Baoye's side at this time!" ”
Huo Bao said with a smile: "Commander An is too worried, we are going to Lingshui, not Longtan Tiger's Den!" Changsheng is young, and it is time to study, and I am now studying with Mr. Lin! ”
An Yong didn't say anything.
It is true that his son is his son, but when he came to Huo Bao's command, he was divided into master and slave, so he naturally had to listen to Huo Bao's arrangement.
One hundred and twenty miles from Jinling to Lingshui County, but the mountain road of thirty miles in the middle, it is harder to arrive in two days, and the road is planned according to the three-day journey.
Marshal Liu died of illness on September 30, and today's "three" small funeral, everyone will definitely not be able to catch up, and the sixth "first seven" of October, the time is rich.
The scouts have already sent a few routes, though.
In the afternoon, when they arrived in Quyang County, Huo Bao and others stood in Quyang.
The magistrate and county lieutenant of Quyang got the news first, and led people to welcome Huo Bao and his party into the city.
……
Jinling, Dongmen Street, Huo House.
In the backyard, under the evening laurel tree, Huo Chun took his niece to pull the tent, and then the mother-in-law took a bamboo pole to beat the osmanthus.
The golden osmanthus flowers fluttered on the tent, and the courtyard was full of sweetness.
Huo Zhen pursed her lips and smiled at her aunt.
Huo Chun glanced at her and said, "What's so funny?" ”
Huo Zhen smiled and pouted, unhappy.
Huo Chun was very helpless: "Why are you annoyed again?" ”
Huo Zhen snorted lightly: "I can't bear to let my aunt ...... My aunt doesn't have to leave our house! ”
Huo Chun blushed and said, "What did you say? ”
The mother-in-law played osmanthus flowers, listened to the conversation between the aunt and nephew, and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't have to be reluctant, the girl just said that she is pro, and it will take two years to go out......"
Huo Zhen frowned and said, "Didn't you say that General Shui is not small?" What if he is in a hurry to get married? ”
"Shut up!"
Huo Chun couldn't listen to it, his face was flushed, he was really annoyed.
Huo Zhen grimaced, and then stopped.
When the woman saw that the girl was ashamed, she didn't dare to be funny, so she only said: "This osmanthus is so good, sweet and fragrant, you can make a few jars of good honey......
The master and servant didn't see Huo Hong coming and leaving not far away.
Huo Hong's heart was very irritable.
Water into that kid is lustful and light...... Not good......
But the children and grandchildren are optimistic about the water in, and the daughters are ...... Also......
He regretted that he had a bad attitude yesterday.
Looking at Huo Bao's appearance, he was already dissatisfied.
If you go back and talk to Huo Wu, it's really hard to say how this family business is.
He sighed.
"Knock knock" There was a knock on the door from the front yard.
Huo Hong's heart moved, and he went over to open the door.
Huo Bai was not there, and studied the Chuzhou Army test papers with his classmates in the teahouse.
Huo Rui was also not there, and began to follow Huo Hu and Huo Bao in class.
Huo Hong's family has only three servants, two mothers-in-law are responsible for washing and cleaning the stove and pulp, and there is a child waiting for tea in the front yard.
As soon as the door opened, I saw more than a dozen people standing outside the door, Huo Wu and Niu Qing in front, followed by more than a dozen personal soldiers.
Huo Hong hurriedly opened the door and let people in.
Huo Wu smiled and said, "My nephew was an uninvited guest today!" ”
Huo Hong disagreed: "Why did you bring these people out?" The son of a daughter, he can't sit down! This is also too presumptuous! ”
Huo Wu said helplessly: "I can't feel comfortable with my relatives when I come and go!" ”
Huo Hong looked at Niu Qing: "In the future, if your fifth uncle is willful, you will stop it!" ”
Niu Qing answered honestly: "Well, listen to the master!" ”
Hojon: ......
For a while, I still don't get used to this generation.
Huo Wu had already entered the courtyard, his eyes swept in the courtyard, fell on the green bamboo, and said, "Uncle, this courtyard is really elegant, no wonder the water enters that kid and praises it when he goes back!" ”
Huo Hong coughed twice, and said with a bit of reserve: "It's nothing, but I like to play with flowers and plants in my spare time...... Speaking of this, he paused and said: "General Shui...... What did you say yesterday? ”
"What can you say? A fierce boast! Uncle is such a family style, and the character and appearance of the Chun sister, only the kid can be picky, and it is the turn of the kid to be picky? Huo Wu said heartily.
Huo Hong's heart was even more entangled, not knowing whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more depressed.
Huo Wudao: "I sent him on a business trip, and he asked me to come over and ask, did my uncle fall in love with him...... This stinky boy, playing tricks, this is for fear that my uncle will not be happy here! We are not used to his temper, the phase is the phase, and if there is no phase, there is no phase...... When it comes to getting along with each other, I have a longer time with him, but Sister Chun is also my sister-in-law...... There are only a few people in our Huo family's five suits, and all of them are expensive......" In the end, he sighed.
Think about it.
The five rooms in Nanshan Village add up, leaving Uncle Huo's family of three, Aunt Huo, Niu Niu, Haw Par Brothers, Huo Wu father and son, a total of nine people.
The relatives here in Binjiang County, there are only three members of the second grandfather Huo's family and four members of the Huo Hong family in the five suits.
Five generations, a total of sixteen people.
It can be said that the blood is withering.
Among them, there are fewer girls, Huo Chun, Huo Zhen, Niuniu, there is only one in a lifetime.
When Huo Hong heard this, he thought of his wife who had lost a few years ago, as well as his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law who died of the epidemic last year, and he was also sad.
Two into the small courtyard, the front yard is quiet, naturally can't hide the backyard.
Huo Chun brought his niece over and served tea to Huo Wujian.
The child is in bed, and he can't let the old father do it himself.
Huo Wu looked at Huo Chun and said: "Sister Chun's craftsmanship is good, Xiaobao didn't praise it much yesterday, saying that the osmanthus cake is soft, and the osmanthus rice cake is also delicious, haha, the amount is also sufficient, this is really my own family, I know that I feel sorry for him, he can't eat enough at other people's homes......"
Huo Chun said with a smile: "It's a blessing to be able to eat, the age of the nephew's long body, and the strength passed down by the ancestors, can not stand hunger!" ”
Huo Wu nodded and said, "That's it, I don't worry about him eating outside, I'm afraid he won't be full!" ”
When Huo Hong heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, remembering Huo Bao's amount of food.
Fortunately, the girl was careful and ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot, otherwise it would have been rude yesterday.
Huo Wu looked at Huo Zhen again and said, "What is my niece Ping Suri doing at home?" Xiuxiu girl arrived the day before yesterday, and she and her niece are about the same age, and when she goes back to the Taiwei Mansion, she is also a lot of friends! ”
Huo Zhen said with curiosity: "What the fifth uncle said, is it the cousin Deng who is married to Brother Bao?" ”
"Yes, when it comes to the ancestors of the Deng family and our Huo family, they are far apart."
Huo Wudao.
Huo Zhen nodded and said, "Is that niece called cousin or sister-in-law when she saw it?" ”
"Call cousin first, then sister-in-law in a few years!"
Huo Wuda said with a smile.
Huo Zhen smiled and said, "That's good, my niece has a niece, a sister, and now a sister!" ”
Huo Chun made an excuse, pulled his niece down, nodded her head and said softly: "Sticky teeth, sticky teeth or not?" I'm not afraid of making noise! ”
Huo Zhen was dissatisfied: "It's a relative uncle, not someone else...... Grandfather is really, respectful, such as to the honorable, not enthusiastic at all, isn't he a relative? Relatives should get along with each other, and our family doesn't want to do anything, so why can't we get close? ”
Huo Chun was silent.
The niece is young and ignorant, but she really has no desire and is strong.
But do you really want to do nothing?
In this world, seeking refuge is also an attempt.
……
In the living room of the front yard, the little girl made a fuss, and the atmosphere was much more comfortable.
Huo Wu looked at Huo Hong, his uncle was a little rigid, but he could teach children.
The children are good, and the grandchildren are also eye-catching, but they are much stronger than the second grandfather Huo.
He was asked by Shui Jin to come over to "ask", but he had already inquired with his son, and he knew that this side was almost here, otherwise it would be boring to seem to be oppressing people with power.
Huo Hong didn't think anything about it, but said, "Xiao Er thinks General Shui is good...... Tsubaki didn't say anything...... It's just that the girl is only thirteen, and she must be engaged after the marriage......"
Huo Wu nodded: "That's natural, our daughter Jin Gui, if it weren't for the fact that the kid was really not small, why would he keep the Chun girl until the eighteenth ......"
Huo Hong shook his head: "That's not necessary, it's good to leave the cabinet at a normal age, and the province will be talked about!" ”
He knew in his heart that he had this family business, and it was different.
Now I don't know the relationship between my family and the Taiwei Mansion outside, but as the two families move around, the day when I know outside is not far away.
Whether the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, or borrow light, their own family will be looked down upon.
Huo Hong resigned himself to his fate, and said: "Now that Chun'er's family affairs have been decided, her brother has not yet believed in the child, and the young and old are orderly, so she must marry her daughter-in-law first and enter the door...... If there is a suitable candidate, the fifth child will also help your brother choose a family business......"
Huo Wu was very surprised, but he didn't refuse, and said happily: "Brother Bai's character is like that, he has to find a suitable family business, so that he will not delay a ...... for a pair of nephews and nieces."
