"General, this is Ruan Dacheng's little heart, he knows that the general is honest and self-clean, these intentions are not only filial piety to the general, but to fund the imperial court, the court is embarrassed, Ruan Dacheng has the heart to serve the country, knowing that the northern expedition of the army is imminent, this food and salary matter is particularly important, so he donated some of his furniture to fund the northern expedition of the army, and asked the general to laugh on behalf of the court!"

Ma Shiying took out a document from his arms, not a silver ticket, but a list, when Cao Bianjiao read the list in his hand, he was also very satisfied, 50,000 taels of silver, 1,000 stones of grain and rice, 20 cars of salt and iron, this thing sent to the door for nothing, if Cao Bianjiao did not accept it, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Good! Ruan Dacheng's loyalty is all on this, you can tell him, if you want to serve the imperial court, I can help, but the six important positions, I'm afraid that I don't have that ability, after all, the Donglin Party is now staring at me, I wish I made some mistakes, so that I can be impeached into the wilderness, I think he can be appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy first, make a transition, repair historical documents, and make a little achievement, and then I will recommend him to the imperial court, and there will be a basis, don't you think? ”

"That's right! Thank you, General, then the lower officer will go to reply to the letter! Ma Shiying felt that Cao Bianjiao said very reasonably, Ruan Dayue's reputation, that is a stinking, more infamous than him, if Cao Bianjiao let him fill an important position, it is indeed a lot of inconvenience, Ma Shiying himself feels unrealistic, even if he is on the throne, within a month, he will be drowned by those spitting stars, it is not bad to go to the Hanlin Academy to pan for gold first, at least Ruan Dacheng's literary collection is the fact that he is placed there, he is a Jinshi of Wanli forty-four years, "He Xiao Collection" and "Yonghuaitang Poems" are all masterpieces, Shi Kefa has sung and made peace with him, He is absolutely capable of being the editor of the Hanlin Academy, and his official position is not high, and he will not cause any criticism.

"Big brother, who do you think is coming?"

After Cao Bianjiao sent Ma Shiying away, before he turned around and returned to the lobby, Cao Dingjiao ran in in a hurry, smiling all over his face, as if he had eaten bee feces, Cao Bianjiao didn't know what happy thing this guy found again, anyway, he didn't have that idleness, although Fengyang's military horses have been assembled, but this drill still needs time, and it will take time to build ordnance, he has already set up an ordnance institute in Hefei...... Huainan Ordnance Institute, Chen Mingzuo is responsible for supervising the manufacture of muskets, artillery and other firearms, which is still his own pocket, and he did not spend the money of the state treasury, but it is a public affair.

There was also a woman who followed Cao Dingjiao in, holding a ten-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy in her hands, when Cao Bianjiao saw them, the whole person wilted, as if suffering a thunderbolt from the sky, and a series of memories appeared in his mind, which was an experience he had forgotten before.

Chongzhen seven years, the imperial history Liu Lingyu discord to check Henan, when the Sichuan Shishi chief official Ma Fengyi's army was defeated in Houjiazhuang, relying on Cao Wenzhao's fast horse to arrive to repel the peasant army, after the battle Cao Wenzhao just disarmed and rested, and Liu Lingyu met, spoke and did not speculate, Cao Wenzhao reprimanded him. Liu Lingyu was annoyed, and took Fengyi's defeat as Cao Wenzhao's sin. The Ministry of War thought that Cao Wenzhao was proud after winning a few battles, so he was dismissed and exiled, Cao Bianjiao was implicated, and he also resigned and returned to his hometown. The beautiful Cao family suddenly became deserted, and at this time, a woman appeared, she took care of Cao Bianjiao day and night, and walked into Cao Bianjiao's heart.

"Wanrong! Why are you here? Cao Bianjiao involuntarily walked over and shook the other party's hand.

The woman who was called graceful by Cao Bianjiao was also in tears at this moment, and threw herself directly into Cao Bianjiao's arms.

"I've finally found you!"

Looking at the woman in his arms, Cao Bianjiao was also heartbroken, and he was also caressing her back at the moment, stroking her long silky hair, and feeling relieved.

"Why did you get here, Datong was broken back then, I thought you were also suffering, where have you been all these years?"

Liu Wanrong and Cao Bianjiao married only two months ago, Cao Bianjiao was transferred to the battlefield again, this campaign is several years, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Cao Bianjiao left less than a month, Huang Taiji for the unification of southern Mongolia, the second westward expedition to Chahar. It was the autumn of July into the siege of Xuanfu, plundered Datong, Cao Bianjiao later went back to look for it, Liu Wanrong had already lost news, all said that he had been buried in the war, there has been no news for so many years, Cao Bianjiao has already accepted it, the battle of Songjin that year, Cao Bianjiao did not surrender to the death, this is the most important reason, I didn't expect the sudden crossing, it was even more on an unknown road.

"When the Tartars attacked Datong and killed a lot of people, I fled with the villagers, until I arrived in Zhuozhou, I wanted to find you, and then I heard the news that Uncle Wen Zhao was killed in battle, and they all said that you also died in battle, so I lived in Zhuozhou, at that time I was already pregnant, and I took a two-year-old Yuan'er, by the way, this is your daughter, Cao Yuan, this is your son Cao Huan!"

Cao Bianjiao looked at the two emaciated children in front of him, the torn clothes they were wearing, he knew how much they had suffered, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, no matter what, they were all his own children, he suddenly had such a pair of big children, although Cao Bianjiao was not used to it, he still felt very warm.

"Here, daddy hug!" Cao Bianjiao also leaned over and picked up the two children, teasing them, the two children were very timid, and a father appeared in a good manner, and he had never seen a few times since his mother's womb, so he was naturally timid.

"And then?" Cao Bianjiao continued to ask.

Liu Wanrong also cleaned up her mood, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued: "Three months ago, it was rumored everywhere that Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses were about to fight in the capital, and I didn't dare to stay there, so I followed the south, and when I arrived in Huainan, I heard that you became a general, and I heard that you arrived in Fengyang, I don't know if it's really you, but I still want to come and see, so I found it." ”

"It's good to be here! It's okay! Come! ”

"Shuai Ye, what do you command?" At that moment, the steward of Xingyuan also hurriedly ran in and listened to Cao Bianjiao's orders.

"Take Mrs. and Miss Gongzi to the backyard to rest, and then go buy some clothes and jewelry, and tell the kitchen to make more delicious food, boil water and let Mrs. and Miss Gongzi wash the ......dust," Cao Bianjiao also patiently advised.

Liu Wanrong, in terms of appearance, is not bad, is the daughter of a rich family, knowledgeable, belongs to the kind of woman who is both talented and beautiful, although Cao Bianjiao feels a little mysterious, but this is already his responsibility, he must take care of their mother and son, Liu Wanrong has lived alone with Cao Bianjiao's children for nearly ten years, Cao Bianjiao owes them too much, so Cao Bianjiao is reasonable and has to take this responsibility.

"You take your children to freshen up first, I still have some business here, I'll go to you after I take care of it, and Steward Zhou will take you there!"

"Hmm!" Liu Wanrong didn't care about anything, and went to the backyard under Cao Bianjiao's orders.
