Chapter 221: Happy Events Are Coming

"Teacher, here's an urgent letter for the master to see!"

After Su Anqi's crisp answer, Zhou Yang didn't say anything, patted the child's head, and went happily, while Su Anqi continued to run over.

If you say that in Li Meng's Jiaozhou camp system, who is loved by everyone, it is only this cute child, other children are still naughty and lawless all day long at this age, but Su Anqi's parents died when she was a child, and she was educated by Father Federer, so she is much more sensible than her peers.

A cute-looking child who knows how to advance and retreat, although he is loved by everyone, he is not pampered, and he has time every day to either pray with Father Federer, or to learn from Zhou Juren and Master Ning.

You must know that in Europe at the same time, the literate class, that is, the aristocracy and the clergy, Father Federer traveled across the sea to China to preach, and was able to endure hardships, so he was obviously a relatively outstanding figure. Zhou Juren and Master Ning are the most literate people in the Jiaozhou camp system.

This Su Anqi was taught by both of them, although she is young, she is also a superhuman in her knowledge, and now she is a handsome attendant in Li Meng's study, this is a handsome cronie, and I don't know what it will look like in the future? So he was young, but no one dared to underestimate him.

In the dock fort, this corridor is the place separating the back hall and the inner study, and there are urgent reports on letterhead from the field, all of which are placed in the back hall, and Su Anqi takes them to the inner study, and the personal guards guarding the back hall are responsible for oral communication.

Su Anqi ran to the door, took a few breaths, breathed calmly, and said:

"Master, Zhao Dusi of Pingdu has an urgent letter here."

Li Meng was about to go back to the back house for dinner, but when he heard Su Anqi's milky shout outside, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and opened his mouth to let him in, he also liked this sensible and precocious child very much, sometimes thinking about it, maybe this is his mentality of preparing to start a family, he likes children and wants a child himself.

Su Anqi came in, held the letter in both hands and handed it to Li Meng, after Li Meng opened the letterhead, Su Anqi flattened the envelope and put it on the bookcase, Li Meng asked casually:

"How is Master Fei's side, I don't see him go out!"

This Master Fei is naturally Father Federer, if it is a rich place such as Jingshi, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangsongchang, etc., he naturally knows what this priest is called, but the area around Denglai has always been a poor place, and the clergy of this foreign church do not know what to call it.

Originally, he was going to call a foreign monk or a foreign Taoist, but Li Meng listened to it funny and awkward, and he didn't want others to know that he had foreigners under him, so he simply ordered his subordinates to be called "Master Fei".

Hearing Li Meng's inquiry, Su Anqi hurriedly replied:

"The master prayed at home every day, saying that he was thanking Heavenly Father for the gift he had given him, and it was estimated that he would come out in three days."

"Thank you Master Fei for the album you drew for me, I heard that Master Fei and Deng Yangren had a quarrel a few days ago?"

Su Anqi's little face was a little embarrassed, and she whispered:

"That time, the master said that Uncle Deng didn't know how to cherish this luck, and the time spent drinking and having fun every day far exceeded the time spent practicing martial arts.

After saying this, Su Anqi secretly looked up at Li Meng, and said hesitantly:

"Master, Uncle Deng, he is also a good person......"

The word "also" made Li Meng laugh all of a sudden, bent down slightly and pinched Su Anqi's little face, and said with a smile:

"Deng Yangren is a good person, I know, but people are too lazy, I will send him to Zhao Neng's side tomorrow, someone will practice well, and people will be diligent."

Su Anqi nodded excitedly, Li Meng ignored him anymore, unfolded the letterhead and watched it, Su Anqi peeked at Li Meng's face, and found that when reading the letter, the smile that remained on his face became more and more magnified, and he couldn't help laughing, and the laughter was extremely hearty.

After Li Meng finished laughing, he raised his voice to greet the outside and said:

"Greetings Chen Liu, Wang Hai, Tang Er, Huang Ping, and Ning Qiangui will go to the outer hall in the afternoon to discuss matters, see you after lunch, go and report!"

The pro-soldiers outside agreed, hurriedly ran out, asked Su Anqi to eat, and told him that he didn't have to come in the afternoon, Li Meng not only let the child study with him, but also wanted him to live a happier life.

This lunch in the inner house is quite particular, it is a table of dishes cooked by Mu Yunyao himself, and Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo, and Liu Ru are three daughters were invited to sit together, which is also Mu Yunyao according to her mother's instructions, and married the woman around Li Meng earlier, everyone has a good relationship, and it also proves that they are not jealous, and women are jealous can be regarded as one of the virtues of women.

Li Meng didn't think of this profound meaning at all, seeing his wife and a few girls giggling at the dinner table, he also felt quite relaxed, and he also understood in this era that if a woman gets married, it will be difficult to have anything to do with the outside world.

Although there is also the habit of officials and their relatives to interact with each other, but what Li Meng has to do, his status in Shandong, and the affairs of his relatives are almost impossible, and Li Meng does not want his own women to sit in the courtyard every day, doing nothing, it is best to have a few companions, and Mu Yunyao's three daughters are the best choice.

The smile on Mu Yunyao's face was pretended, Yan Ruoran's inner house was completely open to Mu Yunyao's three daughters, and naturally she couldn't be rude and disturbed during the wedding period, but such an active request naturally had to come to the door to watch, Mu Yunyao never understood, Yan Ruoran was not as beautiful as herself, and her conversation was also average, and she didn't understand the situation of the government at all, she was just a decent family woman, why did Li Meng like it like this.

And Gu Hengbo and Liu Ru behaved very normally, the things observed by these two women were different from Mu Yunyao, they saw that Yan Ruoran's personality was not such a strict person, but it was easy to be content. It was quite gentle, which also made the two of them feel at ease, in Li Meng's inner house, they still had a chance.

However, the three girls have a unified understanding, that is, Li Meng is indeed extremely happy, with a smile on his face from beginning to end at the banquet, and he also told a few jokes for the first time.

It seems that Li Meng's married life is indeed extremely happy, otherwise how could he be so happy, but the reason for this happiness, even Yan Ruoran is not clear, the girl thought that it was because she invited Mu Yunyao's three daughters to the banquet, Li Meng's interest was so high, and she couldn't help but feel that her behavior of showing her jealousy was really wise, but it was not very comfortable after all.

Yan Ruoran has a habit, that is, what Li Meng does outside, Li Meng doesn't say it when she goes home, she never asks, and the inside and outside are clear, so that men can like this home more, which is also taught by her mother.

After eating and chatting a few words, Li Meng didn't stay long, and went directly to the front hall again, which made Yan Ruoran a little confused.

After Li Meng got married, the Jiaozhou camp was temporarily idle, these civil and military officials were all going home to rest, this time they were suddenly called by Li Meng, and they thought something big had happened, and they looked cautious in the front hall, and Wang Hai was still secretly inquiring with Chen Liu about what happened.

As soon as they saw Li Meng enter the house, everyone immediately stood up and saluted, and after seeing the smile on Li Meng's face, they were all a little relaxed, and it must not be a big deal for the master of his family to be so relaxed.

"Everyone, great joy!"

As soon as Li Meng entered the door, he raised his voice excitedly, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then their curiosity was even higher, thinking about what a good thing it was, Li Meng raised the letter paper in his hand, and explained loudly:

"Zhao Dusi of Pingdu Prefecture sent someone to deliver a letter this morning, saying that the food and salary allocated to us by the imperial court were robbed."

Ning Qiangui, Huang Ping, and Chen Liu, the three of them were older, and they could be considered to be able to calm down, and Wang Hai over there was already a slap on the coffee table next to him, and he stood up angrily and scolded:

"That thing that dared to come to the Jiaozhou camp to kill, is it too long?"

Tang Er also said loudly on the side:

"I don't know what is dead or alive, the adults told the little ones that the bastards there, and the little ones took the horse team to pacify them, could it be that they didn't open their eyes, so many destroyed stockpiles and locks, didn't they see blood?"

Li Meng saw that this pass was selling very effectively, and handed the letterhead to Ning Qiangui on the side with a smile, and ordered:

"Mr. Ning, read the things in the letter."

At the beginning, Wang Hai and Tang Er were still standing there with a snort, but they were a little shocked when they heard the content of the letter, and looked at Li Meng with their eyes, not knowing why this was a "happy event".

Li Meng relied on the silver earned from private salt, and the grain and silver of his troops were completely self-sufficient, but the layers of food and weapons allocated by the imperial court could not be without, and the establishment of 10,000 people, even if it was the military department, the governor's yamen, and the military preparation road, had to scrape a layer of it, and the absolute number in his hands was a lot, and he could do a lot of things.

These grains were transported from Jingshi Tongzhou, through Jinan Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion and then to Laizhou Mansion, Jinan Mansion is the capital of Shandong, Shandong General Soldier Qiu Lei is stationed there, Qiu Lei's distribution of soldiers and horses is very interesting, in Jinan Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion, just separated by Li Meng's Laizhou Mansion Qingzhou Mansion.

The Jiaozhou battalion's food and salary has been in arrears for almost half a year, although last year was a catastrophe everywhere, but Yan Jizu went to Shandong as the new governor, and he always had to give some benefits to the army below, plus Liu Zeqing was suddenly attacked and killed by thieves, and the amount of money owed was also a lot smaller, and it was always in his hands.

Of course, the batch given to Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong, received it smoothly, but when Zhao Neng led his men to the border of Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion to prepare to receive the grain and salary belonging to the Jiaozhou battalion, the civilian official who transported the grain appeared in front of Zhao Neng with a disgraced face, saying that the grain was robbed by the soldiers and horses of the general soldier Qiu.

That's a good thing......
