Chapter 50: The Conversation
When he got home, he was busy again, and this time he brought a lot of things, especially his precious molds and tools, as well as gold and silver treasures, which had to be collected one by one, and sent the people away.
Since Xiaohong Xiaolu had just arrived, she was not familiar with her new home, and she didn't even make tea, so the two mothers and sons just chatted.
Yang Wenli told his mother everything that happened during the period from his run away from home to the present, without the slightest concealment, especially focusing on the fierce battle between him and the ten family members and bandits, as well as the attack on the cottage, and focusing on the strength of himself and the ten family members, the purpose is to let the old lady know in her heart, so as to make a judgment for the development of the current situation in the future.
"I'm doing a great job! I am very happy for my mother, but you have to remember what I said to my mother, don't be the bird that comes out. ”
The son's ability was nothing to say, and the old lady was very pleased, she was worried that her son was young and vigorous, and she thought that she would dare to raise the flag and rebel if she had some strength, so she told her again.
"Mother rest assured, this child knows that the child will remember the agreement with his mother." Yang Wenli reassured his mother.
"Since entering the mountain, I don't know if my mother has paid attention, the mountain also has the advantages of the mountain, where the valley is dense, the water source is sufficient, enough to reclaim 10,000 acres of fertile land, this is one of them,
The Dabie Mountains, with high mountains and dense forests, are places that have not been disciplined by the king, and children can train soldiers here with peace of mind.
In addition, the Dabie Mountainous Area, with its vast territory and numerous mountains, wants to spend three to five years to unify the Dabie Mountainous Area, and train at least 10,000 soldiers. Yang Wenli talked about his vision for the future in general.
"Bang bang bang!" When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but applaud and exclaimed: "Good! My son has a degree of planning, so I can rest assured that my mother will be relieved. ”
"But...... Although Dabie Mountain is good, it is not the land of kings, alas! He was full of ambition just now, but now Yang Wenli lamented again.
"Why is that?" The old lady asked puzzled.
"Without it, there are no horses here, and it is not suitable for raising horses, only this child can not compete with other forces, the impact of cavalry, speed and other advantages, the infantry army can not compete, the most deadly thing is that as long as the enemy is unfavorable in battle, you can easily leave, and the infantry army can only be out of reach with two legs, a war, if you can't destroy the enemy's main force, wait for a wasted effort. And to withstand the next more powerful attack of the enemy, so back and forth, how can there be the slightest chance of victory? Yang Wenli explained the reason to his mother.
"Hmmm! What my son said also makes sense, that is, others can beat you, but you can't beat others, you can only be beaten passively, no matter your skill is the highest, there is no chance of winning. The old lady agreed with her son's opinion very much, and drew inferences, obviously she had understood it in place.
"My son has already seen the fire, can I find a good way to solve it?" Then the old lady asked again.
"Of course, it doesn't work to be lurking passively in Dabie Mountain, training cavalry is very time-consuming, and if you really have to wait for others to fight at your doorstep, you are already caught off guard.
The son thinks that Dabie Mountain can only be used as a place for his son to recruit and train troops, and it belongs to a stable rear, and he has to go to the north to choose another place to open up a new territory, which is the main battlefield......"
The more Yang Wenli spoke, the more emotionally he became, as if he was rightfully leading thousands of troops, charging into battle, and being invincible. He told his mother about his plans for the future.
The two mothers and sons were talking about major events in the world, and Xiao Yan'er leaned on Yang Wenli's arms and listened curiously with a pair of bright eyes.
She is still young and doesn't know about husband and wife, she regards Yang Wenli as a caring big brother, so she leans on his arms without any scruples.
Yang Wenli doted on her very much, let her lean on, and wrapped one hand around her waist, as if she was carrying her daughter. After all, she was still young, and the old lady saw it, but she didn't reprimand her.
The two mothers and sons listened to each other, asked and answered, and the conversation was in full swing, and before they knew it, it was dinner time.
In order to welcome the arrival of his family, Yang Wenli specially took the cook to the house to cook today, Xiaohong Xiaolu came, of course the Yang family will cook alone in the future, but not today, Xiaohong Xiaolu is not familiar with it, and has no small hands.
Miss Xiaohong and Zhao Laosi have always eaten with Yang Wenli, and there is no way tonight, they can only come to Yang's house to eat. Filling their bellies is a big problem, and even if they are reluctant, they can only come.
When they came to Yang's house, of course, they had to give the old lady a salute, so when Yang Wenli and his mother were talking, the two of them came to the main hall and bowed to the old lady who sat on the top and said, "Old lady Jin'an"
"Excuse me, please get up!" Although the old lady was very puzzled, why did Zhao Laosi come to see her with a beautiful little lady? But she still said politely.
"Mother, let me introduce to you, this girl's name is Miss Xiaohong, she is her son's clerk, she is the only person in the cottage who can read and keep accounts, and she is of great help to her son.
Fourth Uncle Zhao, you must know your mother, but he is now the head of agriculture in the cottage and the child's right-hand man.
Both of them used to eat with the children, but tonight the children brought the cook to the house, so they had to come to my house tonight to eat. ”
Yang Wenli spoke out on the side, clarified his mother's doubts, and introduced the identities of the two of them.
"Miss Xiaohong, with the qualifications of a woman, is familiar with literature and ink, which is very rare." After listening to her son's introduction, the old lady couldn't help but praise Miss Xiaohong.
In ancient times, literate women were very rare, and even the old lady herself was illiterate, so she felt it.
"I don't dare to be praised by the old lady, it's not worth mentioning my skills." can get the praise of the old lady, although Miss Xiaohong is proud, she is very modest in her mouth.
"Alright! It should be time for dinner, so let's go down and eat!" Yang Wenli asked the two of them to retire. With the old lady present, the two of them could no longer dine with him, not only because of their different statuses, but also because they would be very uncomfortable.
"Old lady, big boss, young lady, subordinates retire!" Yang Wenli had already spoken out, and the two of them took advantage of the situation to retire to the three nobles in the hall.
Little Red and Little Green also went out, although they just came, but the next person is the next person after all, they have to help the cook to serve the meal, and by the way they are familiar with the environment of the kitchen.
After a few people left, the old lady said to Yang Wenli: "Li'er, this girl is good, not only handsome, but also literate and hyphenated, does she have a mother-in-law?" ”
"Alas! It's a long story, she is also a hard-working person, she was caught up the mountain by the previous bandits, and lost herself to the thief, it was her son who rescued them, and there is no one in her interest yet, and I am inconvenient to interfere, I want to let them be free to partner. ”
"Where is this, how can a woman find Lang Jun by herself, since I have arrived here, I will help her pay attention to one or two in the future, and I will definitely find a good family for her." After listening to her son's words, the old lady shook her head again and again, determined to be a matchmaker herself.
