"Good, good, good!" Yao Mei choked up: "Su Jing, Su Jing, you little doll, your father named you Su Jing, do you like it or not!" As he spoke, he gently poked Xiao Su Jing's ear with his fingers.

Outside, Yu Mutong, Shen Meishuang, Su Yan, Su Qing and other relatives all came over at once.

Yu Mutong smiled and said, "Congratulations to my sister." Then he turned to Su Baiyi: "Congratulations to Xianggong, our Su family has a future, Xiao Su Jing, in the future, he will still be the little pillar of our Su family, hehe, I hope he can really bring good luck to Xianggong and beat those thieves away early." ”

As he spoke, he groped for a piece of jade from his sleeve and put it next to Xiao Su Jing's ear, and said, "Look at it, what gift did your mother bring you?" ”

Although Su Jing is Yao Mei's son, according to this nonsense Ming rule, Yu Mutong is his mother-in-law, and Yao Mei can only be regarded as a biological mother. According to the rules, when Su Jing grows up, he should respect his mother-in-law first, and then his biological mother.

Several people know this.

Shen Meishuang took out a piece of high-quality jade Guanyin and said, "This is a gift from your aunt." ”

Su Yan looked at Su Jing in a daze, and said with a crying face: "I'm still an aunt, but I forgot to prepare a gift." ”

When everyone in the room heard her words, they couldn't help laughing.

Su Baiyi said: "Yan'er and Qing'er, the gifts of the two of you will be given tomorrow." In fact, they are all a family, what kind of gifts are not gifts, in the future, when Su Jing's body is a little harder, you have to hug him more. ”

"Okay, okay!" Su Yan jumped a few times in place, clapped his hands and said: "Just give me the task of holding my nephew in the future, haha, Su Jing, Su Jing, hey, and that Guo Jing have the same name!" ”

"What Guo Jing?" Yu Mutong looked at Su Yan and asked, "Who is Guo Jing?" ”

Su Yan's cunning little eyes flashed, and he smiled and didn't speak.

Su Baiyi also smiled slightly.

When I first told the story, there were only Yue Ran, Magpie and Su Yan around, and sometimes Yao Mei would listen to it for a while, but she might not go to her heart.

"The Record of the Enmity of the Three Worlds" is a secret exclusive to Su Baiyi and Yue Ran. He is like the male protagonist in that story, and the woman he loves the most, there is always a veil of annoyance, constantly cut, messy, but entangled and unclear.

At this time, there was a lot of noise in the outer courtyard.

Su Baiyi led everyone out, and when he saw the female relatives of the Zhou family coming over, he congratulated Su Baiyi and Yu Mutong with a smile, and brought He Yi again.

The news of Xiao Su Jing's birth has long been spread from the mouths of the two Wen Po and Qiu Yue.

There are two copies of the congratulatory gifts brought by the Zhou family, one is Yuan Keli's and the other is Zhou Shipu's.

Su Baiyi opened it and saw that the two congratulatory rites were quite heavy, each with a hundred taels of silver alone, and the rest also had silk cloth, eggs, brown sugar, longevity golden locks, and so on.

The news that the Su family gave birth to a boy could not be covered, as if it had grown wings, and it spread throughout the city within a day. The people in the city are grateful for Su Baiyi's life-saving grace, and Su Baiyi is helpful and never bullies, and has the power to educate the entire Guide Mansion, so when those people heard that Su Jiatianding was imported, they were also happy for them.

The point is, there is something special about the way ordinary Chinese people express their happiness, and that is: gift-giving.

The originally quiet Su family's courtyard instantly turned into a noisy scene. Yu Mutong was afraid that it would affect the rest of the child and Yao Mei, so he simply arranged for those people to be received outside the Zhou family's compound.

Someone sent a few eggs, someone sent two catties of sugar, someone sent half a piece of cloth, someone sent a bag of grain, and a bare-ass boy who looked like he was ten years old came over with a lamb in his arms, and said very generously: "Mr. Su saved the lives of our family, Xiao Su Gongzi was born, and my mother asked me to send a lamb to Xiao Su Gongzi!" ”

At this time, Su Baiyi hid out, he still looked light, still a white dress familiar to everyone, a person with a folding fan in his hand, leisurely walking on the crowded streets of the inner city, without guards, without eight sedan chairs, not even riding a horse. Mr. Su in the eyes of the people has become a second-class member of the imperial court, but he still has the same kind face as when he was a gentleman before, no matter who greets him, he smiles and nods in response.

……

Outside the city, Luo Rucai withdrew his troops.

After the eight swarthy cannons were placed on the four city gates, Luo Rucai withdrew his troops.

Of course, it may be more appropriate to use Mingjin to withdraw troops.

Because Luo Rucai's troops only changed from a siege state to a defensive state, and did not lift the siege and siege of Guide Mansion.

"This Su Baiyi!" Luo Rucai hated the root of his teeth: "I haven't seen him have a cannon before, if he has, why haven't you pulled it out now." ”

Lu Xiong's eyes were red and he said: "My subordinates have inquired many times, there is no cannon at the head of this Shangqiu City, not even a cannon hair, is this coming out of the ground?" Or did it fall from the sky? ”

"Neither!" Military Song Zuzhi said: "If the subordinates are not mistaken, it should be their newly cast cannon!" Song Zuzhi pointed to the two cannons on the west gate of the city and said: "Boss, please see, there is no gap on this cannon, and there is no sign of rust, it is clearly a new cannon that has just been baked." ”

"What?" Luo Rucai was dumbfounded: "This, this, this...... What the hell is this Su Baiyi, he can even cast artillery, then let's attack a fart city. Alas, and those black things, what the hell is it! ”

Luo Rucai was puzzled.

Originally, if a shell falls, it can be eroded, but at most a dozen or so people will die, and the others will be seriously injured or lightly injured. But in this Su Baiyi's shell, I don't know what is hidden, once it is blasted, there are no blades, thistles and the like, only a lot of black slimy hot oil is sprayed in place, once these oils stick to the body, it will make the soldier's skin erode a large piece, not only burned, this thing seems to be poisonous.

The thing couldn't be scraped off when it was attached to the body, and the soldiers who were stuck in the black oil all died in pain, and there was even an example of a soldier committing suicide because his entire face was wrapped in black oil.

In view of the black oil and artillery, Luo Rucai stopped the attack on Shangqiu City at the suggestion of Song Zuzhi.

"As of today, we have been attacking for nine days, and Ben Shuai has lost 20,000 horses under this small city." Luo Rucai said unwillingly: "Among them, there are 10,000 women and children, 10,000 foot soldiers, but I haven't even seen Su Baiyi's groove, you say, if Ben Shuai wants Su Baiyi's 20 million taels of silver, how many people and horses will be lost?" ”

Lu Xiong and other generals could only make promises.

Only Song Zuzhi sighed and said: "Dashuai, this is all the fault of his subordinates, his subordinates have paid a lot of attention, but Su Baiyi's strange tricks are unheard of in his subordinates' lives, and his subordinates are willing to accept the guilt!" ”

"Alas!" Luo Rucai sighed and said: "What's the use of you taking the guilt, what Ben Shuai wants is not to accept the guilt, but the head of Su Baiyi, this Shangqiu City, and silver!" ”

"Thank you for not killing!" Song Zuzhi said: "Dashuai, although there are many of us, we can no longer attack the city, for today's plan, we can only use the stupidest method!" ”

"What's the method?" Luo Rucai looked at Song Zuzhi with burning eyes.

Song Zuzhi took a deep breath and said, "Surround but not fight!" ”

"Surround but not fight?" Luo Rucai was stunned.

"Yes, surround but not fight!" Song Zuzhi said: "Think about it from a different position, what is the biggest problem that Su Baiyi is facing in defending the city?" It's not how sharp our siege is, it's that they don't have food. Think about it, how much food does a city of 50,000 people have to eat every day? How much grain did he store in Shangqiu City?

We don't have to do anything, just surround here, just wait for him to run out of food and grass, that is, if we don't need to attack the city, they will inevitably have a riot, and over time, this city gate will be broken from the inside. ”

"And how long are we going to besiege it?" Luo Rucai looked at Song Zuzhi worriedly.

"Not much!" Song Zuzhi said: "According to the estimation of his subordinates, the grain and grass in Shangqiu City will not last long, as little as January, and as much as February, and its grain will be exhausted." ”

"It's going to take so long!" Luo Rucai's face was embarrassed: "Ben Shuai is worried about what if the imperial court comes to help!" ”

"Don't worry!" Song Zuzhi said: "The closest to us, the easiest to support are Yuan Mo and Chen Qiyu, if the two of them want to come, they will come early, and the rest, whether it is Jingshi or Nanjing, will not come, you can rest assured." ”

"That's fine!" Luo Rucai clapped his hands: "Let's besiege the city, first besiege him for two months!" ”

Before the words fell, he heard a commotion behind his camp, Luo Rucai couldn't help but turn around, but when he saw the crowd, he couldn't see what was going on behind him, so he asked, "What's going on?" ”

Lu Xiong said: "My subordinates don't know! ”

Luo Rucai led a group of civil and military officers to a higher place and looked at the back of the camp, but saw that the sky was full of dust, and a group of brightly armored cavalry galloped in the smoke, with no head and tail, and it was impossible to tell how many people there were.

"Damn!" Luo Rucai slapped his thigh: "Raised by a son of a bitch, it's really a stinky mouth, what do you say, this is the reinforcements from Guide Mansion have arrived." ”

"Kill ......"

The cavalry showed off their weapons, and without saying a word, they rushed towards Luo Rucai's barracks.

……

At the head of the city, Kong Youde looked at this scene in a daze, and was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time, and said: "This is our reinforcements coming, it's cavalry, cavalry, this time, hahahahaha!" ”

The smoke and dust dissipated slightly, and a huge banner appeared in the cavalry ranks behind, on which the word "Deng" was written.

Su Baiyi put away the binoculars in his hand with a smile, and couldn't help laughing: "Good brother, I didn't expect you to come, but I didn't expect to become a well-known man after a long time." ”

Kong Youde curiously approached Su Baiyi's side and asked, "My lord, what kind of reinforcements is this?" ”

Su Baiyi said with a smile: "Son of Yang Hao, Yang Juan, Yang Changfeng!" ”
