Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Mandarin League (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass on the Shelf)
"Thank you, cousin!"
Downstairs at the Sifang Inn, the little girl raised her little face, and her pink and tender little face was full of gratitude.
"Thanks for what? Don't think I'm tired of the old man! ”
"Grandpa is worried about us...... Grandpa read all the teachings of Maitreya a few days ago, pondered day and night, and said that it was okay to fool the ignorant people for a while, but he couldn't understand people, and he couldn't do it for a long time...... But whether it's my father or my fifth uncle, they're all trapped, what should I do if it doesn't last long? ”
The little girl's brows furrowed, and there was worry in her eyes that could not be hidden.
Huo Bao was quite surprised.
Master Deng, this is thinking about what will happen after the rebellion.
is also the county capital that was pushed up, Xue Biao turned into a magic stick, like a fish in water, thinking that he had the means to expand his power; When I got to Master Deng, I took one step and thought three steps, and I saw the shortcomings of Maitreya's teaching.
Huo Bao's opening of the "grain, iron and salt" trade route, ensuring logistics, and increasing the strength of the county soldiers is serious in the eyes of Master Deng.
If the strength is enough, you can protect yourself, you can sit and wait for Zhao'an, and there is a way to survive everywhere.
This is the vision, the biggest difference between Master Deng and Xue Biao is that Master Deng is a Confucian businessman.
Master Deng studied when he was young, and he was enlightened with Huang Juren, so he naturally read history books.
Today's white-shirted army sounds lively, but the Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Nest Army in history are a lesson from the past, where can it last for a long time?
"If it doesn't last long, it won't last long, it's just a name, and if it doesn't work, change it." Huo Bao Dao.
"Can you still change it?" The little girl's eyes widened.
"Why not? It's us who wear white shirts today, but it's not us who wear black shirts tomorrow? ”
"Haha, yes! No matter what we wear, we're still us! ”
The little girl let go of her worries, immediately smiled, and said, "Cousin, let's go out of the city to meet my cousin, my father and they are all gone, we should be late!" ”
The Sifang Inn is not far from the city gate, and the two of them walked there.
The two were really late.
Huo Wuyi and his entourage had already arrived and were entering the city with Deng Jian.
Three thousand households came.
The 1,000 riverside soldiers who traveled with Huo Wu changed into white shirts.
It's almost the same style, with no sleeves, just a simple version of the cardigan vest with a white belt in the middle.
The garment was so simple that it didn't need to be sewn at all, just three strips of white cloth half a foot wide.
Now the armament is insufficient, whether it is armor or cloth armor, the large battalion in Binjiang County is limited, and it is only equipped with the small leader.
Ordinary soldiers, but also their own clothes.
With this white vest, I looked at the team much neater and a little more powerful.
It is a military flag, also on a white background, with the word "Huo" written on it.
"Tsk! Style! Compared to this, the whiteshirts who entered the city in March were like playing at home! Li Qianhu praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Who said earlier that you should prepare more white belts, and one person can tie one arm at a time?" Wang Qianhu said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid of Fei Bu, and the white clothes can't help but be dirty!"
Li Qianhu had a hard mouth, but he also knew that he was not prepared before.
Quyang soldiers and Binjiang soldiers entered and exited together, and the same color was also magnificent, and immediately said to Deng Jian, and went back to Yamen to prepare military uniforms and military flags.
Niu Qing led a thousand Binjiang soldiers to the county army camp to station, while Huo Wu, Xue Biao, and Shui Jin directly followed Deng Jian to the camp meeting hall to discuss matters.
Huo Baojing accompanied the last seat, Xiuxiu followed to the door, and then retreated to urge tea.
Huo Wu glanced at his son and complained to Deng Jian: "Look, my son was raised for nothing!" It can't be done to let him come with us, if you have to come over first, it will be half a day's work?! ”
Deng Jian knew Huo Wu's stinky virtues, and his precious son could say it himself, and others dared to say a word to try.
"Xiaobao is responsible, and he didn't worry about the Scouts, so he came back one step ahead of time to make arrangements."
Huo Wu smiled: "There's no way, our Xiaobao is so sensible, we can't stop it, and we don't look at how full the sun is, my little face is red, isn't it distressing?!" ”
“……”
"I'm here, as soon as I landed, I was different from other people's babies, other people's homes were 'crying three times on the ground, and I was born with my life', and our Xiaobao cried for three days...... I was so worried that my head was torn off...... God also begged, the Buddha worshipped, all to no avail, cried for three whole days, and when the hour came, he laughed, you say that the spirit is not ......"
"Nephew, is this extraordinary?"
Xue Biao recently believed this, and said excitedly: "Isn't it just a sign?!" Where is Xiaobao's strength for ordinary people, Xiaobao is a natural fierce general! ”
Huo Wu said with emotion: "Back then, it was just a child's night cry, and I went all over the street to cry at night...... Who would have thought that there would be such an opportunity......"
Zhang Qianhu, Wang Qianhu, Shui Jin and the others did not speak, but there was surprise in their eyes when they looked at Huo Bao.
Born extraordinary, this is all heard in the book before, and I saw a big living person in front of me.
It was Deng Jian, who looked at Huo Wu and raised his eyebrows, and looked at Huo Bao with a mocking gaze.
For his father's three blows in one day, Huo Bao has calmed down.
What a ghost is crying at night?!
Children may cry at night, but the baby who has just landed cried for three days and three nights, isn't that nonsense?
The little baby has the strength there, and he has been crying hoarse and tired of crying.
I don't know what Daddy is planning, let this out.
Huo Bao looked at Deng Jian.
Deng Jian is square on the outside and round on the inside, obviously not believing this nonsense at all.
At this time, Xiuxiu came in with a tea tray.
The little girl is not tall, and the big tea tray is trembling and suspenseful.
Huo Bao hurriedly got up and went to pick up the tea tray.
Xiuxiu smiled gratefully and poured tea for everyone.
Huo Wu looked at the little girl, looked up and down, and was surprised: "Xiuxiu is tall again?" was a little girl before, but this time she has become a big girl! ”
The little girl's eyebrows immediately crooked: "I'm half an inch longer than in the spring, and grandpa also said I'm older." ”
"It's big, haha, it's time to see each other! Look at this kid, he's pretty handsome, can you make do with it? If you can make do with him, if you don't like Wubo, I'll find you a good one! In the last two sentences, Huo Wu pointed to his son and said.
"Five uncles are bad!"
The little girl already knew that she was ashamed, and no matter how generous her personality was, it was not easy to listen to this in person, so she immediately wrinkled her nose and turned around to avoid it.
"Daddy!"
Huo Bao looked at his father helplessly.
Even if the two families had a tacit understanding before, but in the end, it is better to marry two surnames, I don't know when a matchmaker is invited to formally propose marriage, where is there a direct face-to-face question?
"The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", this is the old reason recognized by the world.
Such a direct proposal is too unsolemn.
Zhang Qianhu and Wang Qianhu's faces were really not good, Shui Jin and Xue Biao also touched their noses, embarrassed, but Deng Jian did not move.
Huo Wu didn't look at his son, but turned his head to Deng Jian Zhengse and said, "Cousin, brother, this is true!" It's all fathers, others don't know, I don't know yet, what I love Xiaobao like, what you love Xiuxiu like! Xiaobao's temperament is here, he is a capable person, and he can't be wrong to marry anyone. But no matter how good he is, it's not silver, everyone loves it, there is always a rare mouth, and there is not a rare one. My words are here, Xiuxiu is willing, so I will order the two children, Xiuxiu is unwilling, I will recognize a girl, you will recognize a son, you can't wronged the child! ”
Deng Jian couldn't help but be moved.
Huo Bao couldn't help but be surprised.
Something similar, Dad had told him privately before, but he just asked him if he was willing to marry Xiuxiu.
What can Huo Bao say?
Xiuxiu is Lori, but he himself is only a little old.
But anyone who is the same age as him is Lori.
Huo Bao only felt sorry for himself as a father, afraid that he would be reluctant, but he didn't expect him to mention this matter again today and give the choice to Xiuxiu.
Now that the two forces are intertwined, if they don't marry, there may be a lot more things, and the alliance is not so solid.
No matter how good his son is in Huo Wu's eyes, he still lets the young Xiuxiu choose it personally.
Compare the heart to the heart, nothing more.
The atmosphere in the room sank.
After a while, a crisp little milk voice came from the door: "Cousin is fine, not improvised!" ”
