Li Yan only returned home in the afternoon, and he ate lunch with the soldiers in the barracks. The soldiers ate multigrain steamed buns and a large pot of chowder stir-fry, no soup, but hot water.

He didn't worry about the secretary in the barracks withholding food, every day there would be three random soldiers watching in the canteen, and they wouldn't let the secretary give them less food. However, he still had to see if the soldiers' food could provide enough energy for the soldiers to withstand the intensity of training and combat.

Wu Niang had already cleaned up all the rooms at this time. She works here with Li Yan, and there is nothing else to do except practice the words she learned in the literacy class at night. She gets bored, and tidying up the room becomes her entertainment to pass the time.

"Li Gongzi, your things are really pitiful." Wu Niang saw Li Yan coming back and complained: "I don't have anything to do with it at all." ”

Li Yan took out the garrison seal in his arms and put it on the table, and said, "This thing, register and put it in storage." ”

Wu Niang picked up the one-inch square copper seal, looked at it over and over for a long time, and then recognized the six seal characters engraved at the bottom. She looked at Li Yan and asked incredulously, "Don't you need the Great Seal?" Keep it at home? ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "I don't need it for the time being, you can put it away for me." "He used his own private seal in the army, and this official seal could only be used in dealings with the imperial court.

"Okay, one for the garrison." Wu Niang said indifferently. Then he took out the account book and wrote it down on the second page.

Li Yan looked over and found that Wu Niang could write these words, and the writing was not bad.

"Yes, how many words do you recognize now?" Li Yan asked appreciatively.

Wu Niang put down the pen before replying: "More than half of the thousand-word literature." Mr. Fan in the literacy class teaches five words a day, and I learn ten, and there is nothing difficult about it. Sir also let me read the biography of the daughters by myself. ”

"If you want to read, go to my study and find it." Li Yan said: "I can't take the books on my desk, I can read everything else, but I can only take one volume. ”

"It's not fun to read." Wu Niang said: "Otherwise, I'll do something else." ”

Li Yan said casually: "How good this job is, easy and free. The other workshops have to work at least five hours a day, and you can only take one day off for ten days, would you like to go? ”

"Or, call that Qiu Niang." Wu Niang smiled wickedly and said.

Li Yan waved his hand and said, "That's your business, you can call it yourself." ”

Wu Niang nodded, and immediately ran out and asked Zhang Yi to inform Qiu Niang. And Zhang Yi looked at Li Yan in the room, and only agreed after finding that Li Yan nodded.

In the north of the city, outside a small courtyard.

Shi Jincai took a small porcelain bottle and said to Qiu Niang: "This is the osmanthus oil I bought for you, and the wives and ladies of big families use this thing." ”

Qiu Niang didn't accept it, and said lightly: "Don't come to me again, and I won't accept your things." ”

"Why are you so dead?" Shi Jincai said eagerly: "General Li doesn't look down on you, and when you become an old woman, he will look down on you even more." ”

"That's my business, and it has nothing to do with you." After Qiu Niang finished speaking arrogantly, she entered the courtyard and closed the gate. This house was found by Li Yan for her, and although it was a little far away from the weaving workshop, she finally entered the city. But it was only less than a month, and Shi Jincai came again, which really annoyed her.

Shi Jincai didn't dare to come nonsense, so he had to stand outside the door for a while before he reluctantly turned around and left. He had to wait for the next time he rested.

As soon as he walked to the corner of the street, he ran into Zhang Yi on horseback.

"Manager Zhang," Shi Jincai smiled and clenched his fists, "Where is this going?" ”

Zhang Yi stopped the horse, saw that it was Shi Jincai, got off the horse, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Shi, I'm here to find someone." Are you off today? ”

"yes, rest. Just walk around the city. Shi Jincai said with a smile.

Zhang Yi nodded, hugged his fists and said, "There is still an errand below, so I will take the first step." ”

"Mr. Zhang, please, please." Shi Jincai hurriedly clenched his fists in return and gave way.

Zhang Yi didn't get on the horse, led the horse and walked a few steps, and then arrived outside the small courtyard where Qiu Niang temporarily lived, and began to call the door.

Shi Jincai was about to leave, but he glanced back and found that Zhang Yi had stopped in front of the small courtyard where Qiu Niang lived, so he hid on the corner of the street to see what was going on.

He waited for a while, and saw Qiu Niang being called out by the owner of the yard, and after saying a few words to Zhang Yi, he happily ran into the yard. After a while, the owner of the yard set up the car and began to put bedding and baggage on the car, and finally Qiu Niang also got into the car, and then came here with Zhang Yi.

Shi Jincai hurriedly ran to a small alley and hid, and after Zhang Yi and the others passed, he came out cautiously and quietly fell behind. He wants to see where Qiu Niang is going, and whether it has anything to do with this Zhang Yi.

He followed from a distance, until he saw them stop next to Li Yan's residence from a distance, and his head exploded with a bang. He had obviously learned from Li Mu before, Li Yan didn't have any thoughts about Qiu Niang, so he began to stalk Qiu Niang. Why did you take Qiu Niang to the side of the house now, this is to raise the outer house? Or is there a small door inside at all, which is convenient to come and go?

He watched Qiu Niang move the bedding and baggage into the small courtyard one by one by herself, no one came out to help, and he didn't see Li Yan come out to greet him. But he still stubbornly believes that all this is arranged by Li Yan.

He figured it out in an instant, although Li Yan said that he had a wife and a concubine, he didn't have it with him, and he was single. After sleeping in a cold bed for a long time, I want to find a warm quilt. And Qiu Niang is the best-looking woman in Qili Village, and even in the entire county, which will naturally attract Li Yan's attention.

Shi Jincai left alone in a daze, he felt that he had been deceived, deceived by the two brothers Li Yan and Li Mu. He was wandering around the county town and didn't know where he was going. He saw a shop with a colorful building on the street, and when he looked up, it was "Baoyue Building", the only prostitute @ hall in the county, he didn't think about it, and entered this prostitute @ hall that had just opened.

In Wu Niang's small courtyard.

Wu Niang instructed Qiu Niang, who moved in: "You live in the East Wing, you can't enter my room, but you have to clean up the other rooms." ”

"I'm going to work in the cloth mill." Qiu Niang said reluctantly.

Wu Niang smiled and said, "This is to cover your rent." If you don't want to, pay the rent. January, January five liters of rice bar. ”

Qiu Niang immediately spoke: "I'll clean up the house for you." Her food is enough to eat, but she still wants to keep some food and exchange some goat's milk for Zhang's sister-in-law's daughter Liniang.

"Okay, that's it, let's clean up." Wu Niang said with a smile. In addition to the east and west wings, there are also two small rooms for sundries, which are enough for Qiu Niang to clean up for a while.

"Who told you to teach me that before? Let you taste the bitterness! Wu Niang thought proudly in her heart.
