September walked ahead, carrying a barrel full of clothes in his hand, which made Xu Wei even more puzzled. But this is another family's housework, so it is not good to ask rashly, so he followed silently and observed this He Guan Mansion. It is said that the treatment of officials in the Song Dynasty was very high, and it seems that this is true. He Guan is one of the three governors, although the position is high and the power is not heavy, but this mansion is very magnificent. The economy of the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly prosperous, so the architectural style changed from the majestic since the Tang Dynasty to become slender and beautiful, focusing on decoration. Although this He Mansion is not very wide, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a garden-style building. Trees and flowers are widely planted in the house, and there are many rockery potted plants, and there is actually a pond in the backyard, and a wooden bridge pavilion is erected. In September, he stopped by the pond, put down the barrel, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to wash.

The maids and servants who passed by from time to time looked at Xu Wei twice, and even exchanged their heads and whispered, but they didn't know what to say. Occasionally, after a few people finished whispering, they covered their mouths and snickered, and played with each other. He Shuying's personal maid came over with a wooden basin, put it beside September and said, "Wash this first, take advantage of the good sun, and dry it early." With that, he stared at Xu Wei, shook his head and left.

When September answered, he gathered all his clothes in a wooden barrel and scooped water in the pond with the large wooden basin. Xu Wei saw that she was very struggling, so he reached out to help, but September hurriedly blocked it, and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to let Xu Guanren do it, you might as well go to the pavilion and sit down." ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he smiled and said, "What are you doing in the pavilion?" Look at the withered lotus leaves in this pond? Or go into the water to touch two lotus roots? ”

September squatted on the ground, scrubbing the sheets vigorously, and said with a smile: "If it was a few months earlier, the lotus flowers in this pond were in full bloom, then it would be beautiful." With that, he took out one hand and gently pushed the messy hair from his ear behind his ear, still smiling.

Xu Wei couldn't help asking, "Do you have anything happy to say and listen to?" ”

"Huh? Why did Xu Guanren say this? September was talking, but the work in his hands did not stop.

"You've been smiling since I saw you, and that must have been a great joy." Xu Wei said.

September's hand scrubbing the sheets paused for a moment, and he smiled a little reluctantly: "What else can you do if you don't laugh?" ”

This was an ordinary sentence, but Xu Wei felt a bitterness in his ears for no reason. What else can you do without laughing? The implication is, am I crying? Thinking that although she was He Shuying's cousin, she had to do the work of these subordinates, and the girls in the house did not treat her as a nobleman, and her doubts were even worse.

"I heard them call you September?" Xu Wei asked tentatively.

"Well, Zhang Jiujiu." As he spoke, he changed another basin of water, and his hands and feet were very nimble, obviously he had already become accustomed to these rough jobs.

"September? Did you take that name because you were born in September? Xu Wei quipped.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiujiu nodded: "When I was born, it was September, and my mother took this name for me. ”

Xu Wei was stunned, this has always been a man's right to name his descendants, could it be that her father ...... Personal privacy is also inconvenient, Xu Wei asked: "So, this month is your birthday?" ”

Zhang Jiujiu finally stopped smiling, lowered his head and scrubbed his clothes vigorously, wiping sweat from his forehead with his arm from time to time. Or because the hand that rubbed the clothes was too tired, her body gradually tilted a little. Xu Wei could no longer see her face.

"Xu Guanren should take a stroll in this backyard, if others see it, they will laugh at you." After a long time, Zhang Jiujiu said softly.

"Laugh at me? What's so funny about that? Xu Wei said puzzled. At the same time, he noticed that there was something strange about September's voice, so he went around to see if it was over. The other party heard the footsteps and buried his head lower.

Just as he was about to ask, a subordinate of Xu's mansion hurriedly came and said to him: "Deputy Envoy Xu, my captain invites you to the study for a while." ”

"Okay, lead the way." Xu Wei nodded, and the man turned around and walked away.

"Xu Guanren, hurry up, thank you." Zhang Jiujiu felt that Xu Wei was not leaving, and said in a low voice.

"Thank me for what?" Xu Wei asked, but Zhang Jiujiu stopped answering. The servant urged again and again, and Xu Wei turned around and left. Hearing the sound of footsteps moving away behind him, Zhang Jiujiu finally stopped, turned his head slightly, and after a little hesitation, he turned back and buried his head in hard work.

In Xu Wei's impression, the study of ancient officials should be hung with some celebrity calligraphy and paintings, the previous generation of ink treasures, and a few antiques that do not know whether they are true or false, and it is best to set up an incense burner, curling with green smoke, otherwise, it is not enough to show the elegance of the master. But He Guan this study is more like a martial arts hall.

But there is also a bookshelf full of books, and there is also a copywriter in front of it, with the four treasures of the study. But the most striking thing is the weapons all over the study, especially eye-catching, is an iron-tired bow on the frame. Looking at the strong bow that is more than four feet long, one can't help but wonder what kind of divine power it takes to pull this hard bow?

He Guan sat behind the copywriter, his head resting on the back of the chair, his eyes closed as if he had fallen asleep. As soon as Xu Wei came in and stood still, he heard him say, "Sit." ”

Xu Wei didn't say much, sat down according to his words, and both of them were silent. After a while, Taiwei He suddenly sat up straight as if he had been awakened, smashed his fist on the copywriter, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Wei, I have thought about it, and I will only play at this time." Not to mention whether the official family can adopt it, even if it is already too late to arrange it. If this road doesn't work, you must find another way! ”

Xu Wei nodded frequently, in the end, it was a generation of famous generals, and when he calmed down, he immediately figured out what was at stake.

"Since it is no longer possible to start from the big picture, we can only think of some ways locally. According to your speculation, the Jin army will attack Song on two fronts, so can we make some fuss in Taiyuan and Yanyun? At this time, He Guan no longer had the appearance of the six gods and no master, calm, calm, and did not see the slightest panic. It can be heard from his words that Xu Wei is no longer regarded as an outsider.

"The words of the captain are to the point." Xu Wei praised.

He Guan shook his head, got up and walked out from behind the copywriting, sat down beside Xu Wei, leaned out and said, "Although there is such an idea, I still have no clue how to implement it." According to my analysis, Taiyuan is fine, but Yanyun ......"

You're right to worry about Yan Yun! Pharmacist Guo, a capricious person, is absolutely unreliable! Once the Jin army comes, he will not only surrender himself, but also coerce the tens of thousands of Song troops stationed in Yanshan Mansion to defect together! And the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, it was with Guo Yaoshi, who was familiar with the inside of the Great Song Dynasty, as a guide, that he moved to Tokyo!

But because I knew the trend of history in advance, other people's opinions on Guo Yaoshi may still regard him as a hero who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors!

"Taiwei, in the land of Yanyun, there are fierce generals like Guo Yaoshi guarding the town, what are you worried about?" Xu Wei deliberately tried to use words.

He Guan squinted his eyes at Xu Wei, and suddenly showed a strange smile: "Do you really think so in your heart?" ”

Boy! In the end, I eat more salt than I eat rice, and I can see it! Xu Wei was shocked, and secretly reminded himself that he must not think that he is smarter than others, no one in this world is a fool.

Since he has bet on He Guan, if he has reservations, how can he be trusted? But you can't say everything, you are just an insignificant little person now, and you must be cautious in your words and deeds before you don't have strong strength.

"Then I'll be blunt." Xu Wei said solemnly.

"Out of your mouth, into my ears, God knows." He Guan nodded comfortingly.

"Guo Yaoshi is an old general of the former Liao State, and he was forced to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty in desperation, and I believe that the Taiwei knows this." When Xu Wei said this, he saw that He Guan agreed, so he continued. "I don't comment on his loyalty. Only the history of its development is narrated for the reference of the Taiwei. Before the death of the Liao State, there was a rebellion in the land of the Bohai Sea. The commander of the Liao army recruited the hungry people of Liaodong as an army, called the 'resentful army', and Guo Yaoshi was one of the generals. However, after the establishment of the resentment army, not only was the war ineffective, but on the contrary, military mutinies occurred one after another. During this period, Pharmacist Guo repeated again and again, standing in the place of infallibility. Later, the Liao State was attacked by the Song and Jin Dynasty and was about to perish, and the Khitans were worried that the Han army led by Guo Yaoshi would be in turmoil, and they had the intention to do so. At this time, Pharmacist Guo got the news and encouraged his subordinates to surrender to Song. ”

He Guan listened and was silent for a long time. At the beginning, Guo Yaoshi returned to the Song Dynasty with Zhuoyi Erzhou, and Tong Taishi was appointed as the general of Yanshan by the edict of the Son of Heaven, not only controlling the Changsheng army of the department, but also managing tens of thousands of Song troops. At that time, he suggested to Taishi that in the past, the Western Army's Zhike Line was returned to the imperial court, and the imperial court placed another soldier and horse division to command the Han army. As for the Fold, he was only allowed to nominally have jurisdiction over them. Now that Guo Yaoshi is coming to vote, he can only let him control the Changsheng army, and the Han army must be led by the Song generals. But Master Tong insisted on going his own way and ignored it. Pharmacist Guo is a person with too many variables, which is really difficult to reassure.

"Xu Wei, hypothetically, suppose that the Jin army attacks Yanshan, and Guo Yaoshi has different intentions, the consequences will ......" After a long time, He Guan looked at Xu Wei and asked.

"Unthinkable! Guo Yaoshi knew that our army was false and real, and he knew everything about the deployment of the Hebei region. Once he changes, the Jin army can go straight to the Yellow River! Xu Wei's well-defined face had a solemn expression.

He Guan's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bane! This person is in charge of the military power of Yanshan, which is really a big trouble for the imperial court! But since the Song Dynasty, the official family has been in favor of him, and this guy is also very well-behaved on the surface, and the face of the saint will cry and say, "The minister is in captivity, and I hear that Emperor Zhao is in the sky!" "The official family is very happy, and now the official worship festival envoy has been the same as Yanshan Mansion. It's not that easy to move him.

"Tai Lieutenant, although Guo Yaoshi is a big variable, as long as he does not have military power in his hands, he will not set off a big storm." Xu Wei reminded at the right time. There is no way, if you don't pull Pharmacist Guo down, the land of Yanyun will inevitably be lost, and as soon as Yanyun is lost, the Great Song Dynasty will basically be finished. Fighting with the Jurchen Iron Cavalry on the Hebei Plain, in terms of the current combat strength of the Song army, it is looking for death.
