Chapter 398: Xiao Cavalry

It is precisely because of this that Yang Congyi, who made a big mistake, can still be promoted and transferred to the front of the palace to serve, at present, his exploits in Guangnan are too dazzling, even if he really does not listen to the order, he can't hide his brilliance, not to mention that it is just a struggle between the court and the locality.

The commander of the Xiao Cavalry Army took out the box and said something like that, what else could Yang Congyi say?

It is impossible to refuse, although Lord Zhang did not say it clearly, but the meaning is very clear, when it should not be clear, it must be investigated, and as soon as the box comes out, it is the time when it should not be investigated.

Yang Congyi opened the box in front of him, and there was a neat pile of 120,000 taels of mixed silver bills inside, roughly estimated, it would not be less than 50,000 taels, this amount made him frightened.

The Xiao cavalry army is only six commanders, where did they get so much money, even if they eat empty salaries and deduct military salaries for a year, I am afraid they will not be able to get so much.

Seeing the doubts on Yang Congyi's face, the ruler immediately explained that Quanzhou has developed shipping and prosperous overseas trade, and although there are not many cavalry soldiers, it is enough to send a few merchant ships to the sea from time to time to go around Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom.

As soon as Yang Congyi heard this, he understood, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, the Xiao Cavalry Army and the Divine Cavalry Army are doing the same thing, one occupies silver mines, buys and sells medicinal materials, and the other runs ships to do maritime trade, which are indeed the fastest ways to make money.

It's just that if you grab food in the mouth of the local state capital, it will inevitably not be a problem in the end, the Divine Cavalry Army Nanjian Prefecture has already had a problem, and there is a conflict, and the Xiao Cavalry Army is quietly running maritime trade in Quanzhou, and it will not go to the city to pay taxes.

But this has nothing to do with Yang Congyi, if he doesn't come to Quanzhou to verify his merits, won't the Xiao cavalry quietly do maritime trade? Definitely not.

As soon as Yang Congyi understood a little, he didn't ask more.

After chatting for a while, he went to the restaurant to have a good meal at the invitation of the ruler, and six or seven generals accompanied him by the school.

The issue of verifying the merits of the Xiao Cavalry Army has been resolved before eating and drinking, and they naturally leave separately after drinking.

The commander of the cavalry army and a group of generals returned to the yamen, and Yang Congyi returned to his home in the north of the city alone.

Knocking on the courtyard door, Qingchen saw his drunken appearance, and hurriedly called Lian'er, the two of them left and right, helped him into the room and lay down, and cleaned him slightly.

When Yang Congyi fell asleep on the bed, Qingchen saw the box he brought home, what was inside, she was very curious, but she still knew what to ask and what not to ask. When she was very young, her father, who had blurred her memory, told her that women were in charge of the house, men were outside, and the affairs of the family had to be managed, and the things outside the door could not be inquired about, let alone asked.

Even though he was very curious, Qingchen held back and put the box away properly, never opening it.

This meal is not too much to drink, and it is summer, the alcohol in the body volatilizes quickly, and at night, Yang Congyi woke up like no one, although he was still slightly drunk, but his mind was clear.

When I raised my eyes and set the mountain, the sky was already dark, and there were only stars and the bright moon in the sky.

After sleeping all afternoon, Yang Congyi had no intention of sleeping, even if he wanted to, he couldn't sleep.

Qingchen took out two chairs and put them in the courtyard, one for each person, and sat side by side.

Looking at the moon, clothed in moonlight, I haven't experienced such a quiet and leisurely night for a long time, and my thoughts drift back to the sea unconsciously, wind and waves, sand, and moonlight.

"Husband, when you were not there before, as long as the weather was good and there was a moon in the sky, every night I sat in the yard and watched it like now, and at this time I was thinking that my husband must be watching the moon somewhere, we saw the same moon, and when we saw the moon, we saw the same moon." Qingchen withdrew his gaze from looking at the moon and turned his head to look at the other party.

Yang Congyi's mind instantly withdrew from the sea, and said with a smile: "I am also like a lady, I used to watch the moon every night on the sea, sometimes I think that you will practice swords under the moon, so I often practice swords on the deck in the middle of the night, imagining that I can be the same as the lady." ”

"Really? When I can't sleep at night, or when I'm in a bad mood, I practice swordsmanship under the moon, and when I'm tired, I go back to sleep. Qingchen's eyes were full of expectation.

Yang Congyi nodded and smiled: "Of course it's true." ”

Then he turned his mind and asked, "When the lady is in a bad mood?" What could it be? ”

Qingchen's face changed slightly, he didn't answer immediately, and was silent for a moment before saying: "Actually, it's nothing, it's all because you're not at home, I'm just thinking nonsense." ”

Yang Congyi took Qingchen's hand, looked at her eyes, and said very sincerely: "The lady is fortunate, there will be no special errands in the future, I will go home to accompany you every day." ”

Qingchen looked at her husband and didn't speak, she was easy to say anything when she didn't have an errand, once the errand came, could she go to the court? If it is a one-and-a-half-year errand to leave again, can the husband still push it off? Many years ago, when he was in Tianzhu Mountain, the husband said that he wanted to be an official, and he wanted to be a big official who controlled his own destiny.

Yang Congyi held her hand and stroked it lightly: "Your hands have been thicker in the past few years, and when you get to Lin'an, don't do the rough work at home, I'll hire two servants for you to help." ”

Qingchen said: "There are few people in the family, it is enough to have Lian'er alone, in fact, there is nothing to do at home, just laundry and cooking, Lian'er was still young before, and some things were not let her do, she is getting older, it is enough for her to help at home, and there are more places to spend money in Lin'an, so why spend money to find outsiders." ”

"I'm not thinking about the future, if you give birth to a fat boy next year, you two can take care of it? It's not about finding someone yet, you have to prepare in advance. Yang Congyi said with a smile.

"Lian'er, that girl hasn't slept yet!" As soon as he said that he was born a fat boy, Qingchen's face turned red.

"It's been dark for a long time, she must be asleep, where can she hear." Yang Congyi leaned close to her ear and said.

Under the moonlight, the dust turned red at the root of the ear.

"Husband, let's go back to sleep, I'm a little sleepy." Qingchen suddenly whispered.

When Yang Congyi heard this, he said: "I haven't fully woken up yet, and I have to blow the wind for a while, why don't you go back to your room and sleep first?" ”

Qingchen didn't reply, and he didn't get up.

"Then sit with me for a while." Yang Congyi moved his chair and stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Qingchen's shoulder, and the two looked at the bright moon and stars together.

The night finally fell silent, and there was no sound except the chirping of insects.

A bright moon, countless stars, a small courtyard, and a pair of beautiful people.

When it was almost the second watch, Qingchen couldn't hold it anymore, and finally fell asleep on Yang Congyi's shoulder.

Yang Congyi leaned over and gently picked her up and carried her back to the room.

Tonight is finally time to stop.

When he woke up the next day, Yang Congyi was in good spirits and extremely relaxed.

The errand of the Si Bing case in front of the palace has been completed, but he can return to Lin'an on the same day to resume his life, and now it is only mid-May, and there is still almost a month and a half before the end of June, and there is still plenty of time to go back.

If you take the waterway, at this time, the wind and water are smooth, and you can return to Lin'an in half a month, but there are more typhoons in this season, and no one knows whether you will encounter a typhoon when you go north by sea.

After a little consideration, it is safer to take the land route, and a month and a half should be enough to take the official road all the way, but if it is blocked by heavy rain, it will be difficult to delay on the road for a few days, and if you want to rush back on time.

After discussing with Qingchen, Qingchen said that she was afraid of taking a boat, and a few years ago she came to Quanzhou from Lin'an to take a boat for half a month, and the terrifying experience made her remember it vividly, and when there were other options, she naturally would not choose to take a boat.

But if they want to take the official road to Lin'an, then they have to set off immediately, and it is a day to leave a day early.

As a result, he had planned to sell the house for some money, but now he had little time to dispose of it, and he had to buy a suitable carriage.

There are no acquaintances in Quanzhou who can be trusted, the city and the state government dealt with a few years ago, and now I am afraid that people have changed, even if he goes, no one knows, and there is only the control of the yamen when I think about it.

The forbidden army of the Xiao Cavalry belongs to the front division of the palace, and in the same system, it is reasonable to ask them to do some private affairs.

Yang Congyi came to the Yamen again, and the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Army looked at him with a puzzled face, thinking that Lord Yang of the military case in front of the palace was a stunned young man who didn't know the height of the sky.

When he listened to Yang Congyi's appeal, he couldn't help laughing, and he agreed to it and wrapped it up on him.

In his opinion, this Lord Yang still has a family and real estate in Quanzhou, and if he helps him with this small favor, he has to inherit a favor, and he can be regarded as maintaining a special private contact with him.

The commander of the Xiao Cavalry promised that he would personally send someone to take care of Yang Congyi's house in the north of the city, and if there was any damage, he would also help repair it. In addition, knowing that Yang Congyi's family was going to take the official road back to Lin'an, he also gave a carriage and even hired a coachman.

Yang Congyi had to accept the favor of taking care of the house, and as for the carriage, he resolutely shirked it, because the carriage was a little too exquisite, and once it was on the road, it would be very ostentatious, causing some unnecessary trouble, and the gains outweighed the losses.

After solving the housing problem, Yang Congyi quickly bought an ordinary carriage from the car dealership, and as for the horses that pulled the cart, he directly used the horses that he rode all the way.

The grassland horse that I got many years ago, Lin'an and Quanzhou have been turned over several times, and it was too busy to take care of at that time, and it has long been missing. It was a horse pulling a cart, and if it was still there, of course it was the best choice, but unfortunately it was no longer available.

Yang Congyi drove the carriage back to his home and told Qingchen that everything was ready and he could leave at any time.

And Qingchen had already packed up the things he was going to take away, except for clothes and some necessary daily necessities, there were not many things, only two boxes.
