It's another year of La Twenty-nine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The cold wind raged on Lushan, and the cold northwest wind shook the strong body of the green pines and cypresses in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, sending out a sharp and piercing whistling.

Chen Hui's face was full of wine, and after the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the brigade commanders, commanders, and battalion officers of the frontline units of the Fuhan Army returned to Lushan to meet Chen Hui one after another, and it was inevitable to give a banquet and drink. The current momentum of the Fu Han army is already very big, but Chen Hui still has the title of a general, not a prince or a king, the rules of respect and humility are inevitably worse, and most of the middle and high-level people in the Fu Han army are the children of Chen Huang Gaosan, and everyone has a constant family affection with each other, and Chen Hui wine will be poured in turn as soon as the wine strength comes up.

The room was warm, Chen Hui took off his coat, only wearing a middle coat made of white muslin, Chen Er called hot water to soak his feet, and the Western clocks in the house pointed to nine o'clock, "Master, it's time to sleep, it's nine o'clock." Chen Hui leaned on the head of the bed with his eyes closed, people who didn't know thought he was asleep, but Chen Er understood that he was thinking about something.

Chen Hui let out a 'hmm' sound, didn't open his eyes, and let Chen Er dry his feet and rest. He didn't go back to Gao's place today, and rested directly in the study, because Gao was already asleep at this time, and tomorrow their family would rush back to Xiaonangou to worship their ancestors. Tonight everyone had an early rest.

Chen Er is Chen Hui's personal entourage and the second son of the old housekeeper of the Chen family. He had his outhouse guarded, and he came out with his cloak and hat, and several soldiers of the guard battalion lit him with lanterns or umbrellas to cover him from the snow. There's a lot going on tonight, and he can't sleep.

The snow on the ground has slowly accumulated. This year, the snow in Henan was particularly heavy, and the Qing troops on the northern and eastern fronts retreated to their nests before October.

Chen Er's father has gone home to retire and recuperate, and the old man is capable enough to be a pawn as a housekeeper, but he really doesn't have that ability to be a housekeeper in the General's Mansion. It's just that Chen Hui is also nostalgic, not to mention that Chen Er is still waiting in front of Chen Hui, and Chen Er's mother is also standing in front of Gao's family.

Zhao Erxi trotted over from a distance like a bear, and said, "Second brother, I have already asked someone to prepare cinders." Ming'er will definitely not be wrong. "He is Chen Er's cousin, both of them are the second in the family, and they both have the delicate ability to serve people.

Chen Er took him to the stables first, and asked the stablekeeper and the groom to be careful: "Uncle Sun, you have to take care of them, don't have any more accidents tonight." Feed well, remember to pile up hay, and cover them with blankets, so that they don't freeze. ”

looked at the white snowflakes on the way from the stable to the outside, and explained to the steward of the stable: "Uncle Sun, you are the stable, you don't need to be too fine, but you can't look at God." Sweep a little, don't run out of horseshoe. ”

The steward of the stable is the old grandson, and Sun Youfu is blessed. At the beginning, Chen Ming was kidnapped by someone from Qingtiaoling, and he was the one who drove at that time. Now he doesn't drive the carriage himself, and he has a group of good chariot drivers, and everyone is afraid that their skills are better than him, but they all have to nod and listen to him. "Second son, don't worry. Your Uncle Sun can't leak here. Looking at the backs of Chen Er and Zhao Erxi leaving, Sun Youfu looked back at the batches of good horses in the stall, and said to the groom and a group of people around him: "These are the big masters. Even if we're frozen, we can't let them freeze, can we? ”

"Did you hear what you just said? All move, look at the stalls, check the stalls, and do it all over again. Those who are idle take brooms and sweep the snow outside. ”

The Metropolitan Governor won the Battle of Northern Jiangsu in early October, swept the south of the Yangtze River in November, and captured Suzhou and Hangzhou without much effort. killed the Hangzhou general Esengge, forced the governor of Zhejiang Xiong Xuepeng to death, and almost took the Liangjiang governor Yin Jishan, the Jiangning general Rong Bao, and the Fujian and Zhejiang governors Cui Yingjie, who fled to Hangzhou.

Manchu Halal really has taken off all the face and inside for the Metropolitan Governor. With the great news that Taiwan's capital was captured by the rebels, and the Fujian rebels captured most of Jianning Mansion and half of Fuzhou Mansion, and surrounded Fuzhou City, the Qing army in Fujian was pressed to the point that only half of Fuzhou and half of Funing were left by the sea. These subordinates are even more energetic in their work.

At the end of the year, the news of the uprising of Guangxi Tiandihui came from the south, as well as the uprising of Zhu Youfu in Guangdong.

Sun Youfu has been cultivated a lot in the General's Mansion for more than a year, and his ass is definitely sitting on the side of the Chen family, and he has no good impression of Zhu Youfu, a guy with a name very similar to him, because Zhu Youfu claimed to be the heir of Zhu Ming when he rebelled. Sun Youfu wanted to smack him hard, the heir of Zhu Ming of ****, he really ate the heart of the bear and the gall of the leopard. What's wrong? Still thinking about recovering the Qing Dynasty, and still thinking about recovering the Han army? What a big dog guts.

But in any case, the Manchu dynasty is becoming less and less stable, this is true. In a sentence from the Metropolitan Governor: A spark can start a prairie fire. Look, how level and insight!!

Sun Youfu has no ability to serve the Chen family on the battlefield, and he doesn't dare to work hard in the rain of bullets, he still has a pair of children to pull. When he is not forced to do so, Sun Youfu is very precious to his old life. But he is not without reverie, just like the dragon sons and grandsons of the Internal Affairs Office and the Forbidden City, in the future, the old Chen family will sit in the world, so there should also be an Internal Affairs Office, right? Sun Youfu felt that if he continued to survive like this, how could he have a place in the internal affairs office when the time came, and he would earn an iron job for future generations......

Chen Er didn't know Sun Youfu's 'reverie', and when he walked out of the stable, he took Zhao Erxi and ran to the front office.

The general's mansion is not big, Chen Hui has just taken power, and all his energy is focused on government affairs and military affairs, and there is only one daughter of a local squire in Lushan in the backyard, and the backyard of the Lushan County Ya can fully accommodate all the general's family.

The road from the backyard to the front office is mostly paved with bluestone slabs. It's okay to walk normally, there is no water accumulation in the slate gaps, but the trouble is the snow. It is easy to freeze on a thin layer of ice, and if you step on it and be careless, you will fall and eat.

Chen Er walked on the bluestone slab, his feet clicked crisply, he pointed to the bluestone slab and said to the soldiers of the guard battalion beside him: "You can't make the slate freeze, you have to come and knock from time to time tonight, and when you see ice, you quickly shovel it, and you are not allowed to pour hot water, do you know?" In winter, it is cold quickly, and the water in the cracks of the stone slab becomes ice, and it freezes even more! ”

A group of big-headed soldiers were stunned by what he said, who let Chen Er serve in front of Chen Hui. It's no wonder that some people cursed him as the chief administrator, and he was more effective than Chen Hui's concubine when he spoke about the chores in the Chen family's back house.

After instructing the soldiers in the door, Chen Er went to the gate, and Zhao Erxi said enviously: "The second brother is still powerful, he knows everything." ”

Chen Er was also very proud, "Our brothers will do it in the business of serving people in the future." Don't think that this is a small way, there is no less Tao inside than being an official outside. All of this in my head was passed down from your uncle. It's just that the current Chen family is ten or a hundred times more noble than in the past, and it is more refined, and if you kid wants to serve the master well, just study it for a few years. If you serve people well, you will have a future in the future, and you will also seek wealth for future generations......"

A prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince, and a slave who doesn't want to serve the emperor is not a good slave. Chen Er didn't have the ability to go to Beijing City to befriend Qianlong, all he could think about was when the old Chen family had an emperor, he would be really awesome!

Zhao Erxi said sweetly: "How can I compare with the second brother." Your family has been serving since the old lady's generation, and now that your uncle has retired, who in this house can surpass you? Following behind you, it is better to have you to protect me than anything else. ”

When you go out of the corner gate, the road outside the gate is already covered with a white layer of snow. Seeing that the snow was falling heavier and heavier, the porter was already crying. As soon as he saw Chen Erdu, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. The soldiers who were standing guard on the side were still smiling at the corners of their mouths, they were on duty tonight, and they rested in the second half of the night. There is no need to follow the general and his party back to the mountains to worship their ancestors on a snowy day, the guard work can boil people to death, and there is no need to be like these people in the gatehouse, to ensure that there is no snow in this open area in front of the gate.

Chen Er looked at the snow in the open space in front of the door and frowned, "Look at this snow for a while and a half, it can't be stopped, and it will be even more difficult to sweep when it accumulates." You've worked hard, sweep it now, and sweep it again every once in a while, a few more times. ”

The porter had no choice but to respond bitterly. After sending Chen Er and the others away, they all swept from the gate steps to the end of the street with big brooms, and the snow was piled on the side of the road. But it's just cleaned for a while, and it accumulates again in less than a moment, so sweep it again.

The concierge steward is not Sun Youfu's old qualification, Chen Er should respectfully call him uncle when he sees it, before the concierge of the Chen family was Liu Wu and Liu Wen's father, and now Lao Liu is in charge of flying pigeon letters in the backyard of the General's Mansion, and the concierge steward in front of him is also forty years younger, and he still stammers when he sees Chen Er. The steward led by example, taking the lead in labor, standing at the door of the house with a big broom, blowing his fingers as thick as small radish, looking at the snowflakes that kept falling in the sky, and said hatefully: "This damn God." ”

At half past three the next day, Li Xiaomei opened her eyes, and the voice of her personal maid came from her side: "Young lady, it's time to get up." ”

Washing and dressing, ten or twenty minutes passed, Xiao Chen Ding was also led in by his grandmother, he was wearing a thick one, and he also wore a cloak outside, and the sides of the cloak were exposed with white hair, taking advantage of his red fluttering little face to be more cute.

"Hurry up and get food." After eating, it is time to meet at the mother-in-law, and the old lady, and then go to the front office to meet the father-in-law, and the family can go out of the house in a special steel carriage. There are a few masters in the general's mansion, but there are as many as ten carriages, unless they are close to the service, the guards on the side don't know which one is sitting on whom. Along the way, there will be a convergence of Chen Gang's family, as well as the second uncle, the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle, the seventh duke, the ninth duke returned to Tumenji early, and the team expanded even more after arriving at Tumenji, but there was no one from the Huang family in the mountains, only the Chen family was left, and they rushed all the way to the ancestral house of Xiaonangou. I don't know how long I can rest, I get up at the time of the day to formally worship my ancestors, and then rush back to the general's mansion all the way to the general's mansion, and there will be a big banquet on the first day of the new year......

Speaking of which, Li Xiaomei has nothing to do every day all year round, and the busiest time is the Chinese New Year.

……

The snow covered the heavens and the earth, and the streets of the city seemed to be made of silver, so bright, so bright, and the long icicles hung in front of the eaves of the streets like crystal daggers, and the breath of the surrounding guards turned into puffs of white smoke......
