The day of the wedding has finally been set, the twelfth day of the wax month, after the New Year's Day, not before the Spring Festival, so that this festive energy will float from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, so that the big guy can have a happy New Year. Because Mr. Zhao's outstanding performance won the trust of Chang Zhenbang, not only exempted him from joint responsibility, but also let his other son become a second lieutenant officer of the quartermaster department, and Liu Fen was responsible for taking care of Chang Zhenbang's industry. However, this kind of rumor that is about to feel out of the ear cocoon Mr. Zhao will not care, as the number one overlord of the Jiujiang Qinlou Chu Pavilion, there is still a minimum of professional ethics and psychological quality.

"My lord, this is a little bit of the villain and the dog's heart, and I hope the adult will accept it!"

Mr. Zhao appeared in Chang Zhenbang's study with a smile on his face and a young man with a little muna, and in front of them there was a pure gold statue of Zhao Gongming the size of an adult rabbit. This statue is carved accurately, the lines are free and graceful, full of subtle atmosphere, and it looks majestic and full of spirit.

"Broke the bank. How good is that? Chang Zhenbang said with a smile.

Mr. Zhao said: "The adult is serious, the adult not only exempts the villain from the responsibility of disciplining the villain, but also promotes the dog to an officer. ”

Chang Zhenbang said lightly: "Mr. Zhao, you are a little out of sight when you say this, you have done great things for me and exerted your strength, and I should repay you." ”

Mr. Zhao said: "My lord said that he laughed, the last batch of women were all paid by the shopkeeper Wang, and the villain just ran errands, and after careful calculation, the villain still earned." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Mr. Zhao is too modest, only you can do this and do it, this credit alone is enough to make the official look at it with admiration, as for whether the money is not money, it is a trivial matter." ”

Mr. Zhao was naturally very happy when Chang Zhenbang said his value, and immediately arched his hand and said, "My lord has a good reputation." The villain is just doing his best. ”

"If you don't talk about it, if you keep talking, we'll be boasting." Chang Zhenbang turned his head to look at Mr. Zhao's son and said, "This is your son Zhao Wei!" ”

Zhao Wei didn't expect Chang Zhenbang to ask himself so quickly, and he was stunned for a moment. Mr. Zhao hurriedly bumped into Zhao Wei for a moment and motioned for him to speak, and Zhao Wei arched his hand energetically and said, "Lord Qiqi, I am Zhao Wei." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "Zhao Wei, you are now a second lieutenant officer of the Quartermaster Department, this Quartermaster Department is no better than other places, gold is like mountains and silver like the sea, it is easiest to make meritorious contributions, you have to perform well, and make meritorious deeds early Don't live up to your father's heart." ”

Zhao Wei glanced at Mr. Zhao, his eyes were a little strange, there was some contempt in gratitude, and some inferiority in pride, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do a good job and shine on the lintel of my house in a good way." ”

Mr. Zhao was embarrassed and happy at the same time, how could he not know this kind of look? It's a pity that he is just a turtle in the next day, and no matter how much money he has, he can't escape the contemptuous eyes of the world. The world looks down on him, he doesn't care, but he will never let his children be despised by the world, so he tried to find a way to send the boss abroad to stay abroad, who knew that the boss was so bewitched that he actually hooked up with the assassination officials. Why is the boss like this, others don't know, how can he not know? Isn't it that his identity is despised by people, and he wants to do something earth-shattering to wash away this original sin! Mr. Zhao's heart was sour when he thought of this, and he couldn't help but have red eyes, and he was about to fall, he quickly grabbed Zhao Wei's hand and said, "Wei'er, you have to do a good job in the army, just tell Yu's mother what you need." Don't make trouble, let alone my son, remember, don't say it's my son, that would be bad for your future. You must remember" At the same time, he turned his face, knelt in front of Chang Zhenbang with a puff, touched his head to the ground, and begged: "The villain begs the adults not to let the army know Zhao Wei's identity, he is a good boy, and he should not be implicated by me, an immature father." After saying this, when Chang Zhenbang and Zhao Wei helped him up from the ground, his forehead had been broken, and blood and tears were mixed together, which made people feel very distressed.

Chang Zhenbang took his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao, you can rest assured about this matter, although I don't know if this matter can be hidden, let alone for how long, but I can assure you that Zhao Wei, this kid, will not be bullied because of your relationship." ”

"The kindness of the adult, the villain is unforgettable!" Mr. Zhao took Chang Zhenbang's hand and said very seriously.

The two talked for a while, the father and son of the Zhao family retreated, Chang Zhenbang got up to see each other, and when he left, he grabbed Mr. Zhao and said: "The twelfth day of the lunar month is a good day, I plan to make this military wedding more grand, I don't know if Mr. Zhao can undertake it, after all, Zhenbang is only a shallow learner, and he doesn't know much about this aspect of things." ”

"Rest assured, my lord, this wedding will be lively and beautiful."

This is a matter of earning money and face, and Mr. Zhao naturally agreed without a word.

Sent away the father and son of the Zhao family, the third uncle of the old housekeeper of the Lu family waited at the door of the study early, Chang Zhenbang hurriedly invited the third uncle in, and asked Wang Dewang to move a chair for the old man, the third uncle was humble for a long time before sitting on half of the side with great enthusiasm, this is the previous rule, although it is now the Republic of China, the third uncle is gone except for the braid on his head, his life has not changed much, and this etiquette is naturally in accordance with the previous one.

Chang Zhenbang said: "The third uncle asked Xiaozhu to invite you from afar this time, and I hope that your old man will not be surprised." ”

The third uncle hurriedly stood up, bent down slightly, and said: "The son-in-law is serious, how can the villain be immoral and incompetent, how can he be worthy of the word 'please' from the master?" If the lord has any instructions, just say it, and the villain will do his best. ”

Chang Zhenbang hurriedly pressed him semi-forcibly on the chair, and said, "Xiaozhu may have heard you say that I have no competent personnel in the quartermaster department here, so Xiaozhu proposed that your old man come out to help me, what do you think?" ”

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, and wanted to be modest and excuse himself, but when he heard that it was Lu Xiaozhu who said, he pondered for a moment, agreed, and said: "Thanks to the adults who look up to the villain, the villain is willing to contribute to the adult, but the villain is old and decrepit and his time is short, and I hope that the adult will make arrangements." ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "I understand what the third uncle means. As he spoke, he sent a set of military uniforms with the rank of lieutenant colonel to the third uncle.

The third uncle took the tray with the military uniform, stretched out his hand and touched it, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "If the villain is twenty or thirty years younger, maybe how happy he is, I didn't expect to be old, and I actually received the care of my son-in-law and became an officer, which can be regarded as a fulfillment of the dream of glory to the ancestors when I was young." ”

Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "Look at what the third uncle said, there is a way for a person to ascend to heaven, but I just remembered that the third uncle came, I am really confused, your old man will rest for a while, and Mrs. is still waiting for the third uncle behind." ”

After the third uncle thanked Dai De and thanked Chang Zhenbang, he went to the backyard and entered Lu Xiaozhu under the escort of Ma Ben assigned by Wang Dewang.

Lu Xiaozhu was dressed in a snow-white dress, and her body was full of fairy spirit, which was even more beautiful than when she was in De'an, and the third uncle was very happy to see that everything was fine with her, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly went over to say goodbye.

When Lu Xiaozhu saw him, he hurriedly asked Xiaoqing to go over to help, and said, "The third uncle invited you to come over to help Zhenbang, which really made Xiaozhu unbearable." ”

The third uncle said: "Where did the young lady say, the villain has followed Master Lu since he was a child, thanks to the fact that the master can afford to accept it as an apprentice and use it as a steward, this is why there is a villain today, the friendship of the three generations of the Lu family, the old slave has nothing to repay with broken bones, where can I afford a word from Miss, Miss has something to do, but please tell me, the villain must work hard, and there is no ambiguity." ”

Lu Xiaozhu was very satisfied with his answer, and said: "The third uncle is a loyal person, I won't talk about other gossip, now that the official has made you the position of the quartermaster's office, it is to let you be the home of the Jiujiang Army, the third uncle must work hard and don't let down the kindness of the officials." As for who is in charge of the Lu family's business, if the third uncle has a suitable candidate, he might as well say it, and I can rest assured of your people. ”

The third uncle said: "The villain knows, please rest assured that the eldest lady." The affairs of the Lu family are finished as soon as possible, and the adult's errand will not be delayed. ”

"Third uncle, I think your eldest son is good, you might as well let him take your place to deal with the affairs of the Lu family, what do you think?" Lu Xiaozhu asked. The third uncle's son has also been working in the Lu family since he was a child, and now he is also in charge of the wine shop, and it is a good candidate to hand over the Lu family's business to him.

The third uncle thought for a while and said, "Thank you for the promotion, the villain thinks that the boss can give more money, but he must not be in charge." The villain's nephew, Lu Tianyi, is a good choice. Tianyi is loyal but not wooden, clever and not tactful, he is a good seedling, and he hopes that Miss is as wise as a torch. ”

This person named Lu Tianyi, Lu Xiaozhu has still seen it, and his impression of him is not bad, so naturally there is no reason to disagree, so Lu Xiaozhu said: "Just do what the third uncle wants." ”

"Thank you for your grace!" When the third uncle saw that Miss Lu had given his nephew a future, he really shed tears of joy.

Lu Xiaozhu sighed and said sadly: "Third uncle, don't you know that I also have difficulties now, the fox spirit in the west is unruly all day long, and he is about to give birth, if it is a girl, it is fine, if it is a boy, wouldn't it be a dove to occupy the magpie's nest, the official's industry is not big, it is not small, but it can't be cheap for those little mongrels of unknown origin." ”

"Miss, rest assured, the old man will definitely keep everything that should be held for the young master!"

The third uncle sighed, the most worrying thing still happened, he knew that it was not so simple to enter the quartermaster department this time, don't look at the young lady is now the envy of everyone, and the son-in-law also loves it like a treasure, but the intrigue of the rich and noble people is not so pleasant, he would rather Chang Zhenbang or the original little Brother Zhang, so the eldest lady may be happier than now.

Lu Xiaozhu said: "You may have also heard that not long ago, the officials found daughters-in-law for many officers in the Jiujiang Army, and planned to organize a collective wedding in the 12th military camp of Layue, this matter is the current top priority of the Quartermaster Department, the third uncle should take it to heart, if this matter is done and done, the officials can not only further stabilize Jiujiang, but I can also touch your light and stand firmly in the position of the main house of the Chang family, so as not to make those fox spirits move their minds." I thought that no one in my Lu family could ride on my head to make a fortune. ”

The third uncle pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, don't worry, this matter will definitely be done by the villain, so that these officers will praise Miss when they think of it." ”

"Third Uncle is doing things, I'm still relieved!" Lu Xiaozhu said, suddenly turned his head and waved his hand at Dong Zhen who was standing behind, Dong Zhen hurriedly took out an envelope and trotted all the way to the third uncle, and handed it to the third uncle very solemnly.

The third uncle took the envelope well-informed, but just a look, he guessed what was inside, and couldn't help but look at Lu Xiaozhu.

Lu Xiaozhu said: "Third uncle, here is some information about the Quartermaster Department, I heard from the officials about the people or things about the Quartermaster Department, I believe it will still be of some help to you, after you read it, just burn it." ”

With the addition of the third uncle, Li Shifa finally got out of the tedious work of the quartermaster department, and suddenly felt relaxed, don't look at the third uncle's life is quite old, but a brand new military uniform is worn on his body, and the momentum of managing the Lu family for a long time is still quite powerful, and it is really handy to clean up those little officers who want to give him a dismount, and it is much easier to clean them up than to clean up those Lu family stewards, at least he still has some scruples about those people in the Lu family, after all, it is not good to be heavy and not able to work, He didn't have so many estimates for these officers, he had not been in office for three days, and the officials of the quartermaster department in Jiujiang were tidy, and no one was underestimating this old man who looked kind.

After cleaning up these thorns, the third uncle began to make friends with some technical quartermaster officials, such as the medical assistant office of the quartermaster department, the financial and accounting assistant office, etc., because of the long-term dealings with all kinds of officials and merchants, it is really handy to pack up these people, effortlessly, relying on this hard hand and soft hand, the third uncle will soon open the market in the quartermaster department, which was well received by Li Shifa. Chang Zhenbang was very surprised by the performance of the third uncle, knowing that the third uncle was powerful, but he didn't expect the third uncle to be so powerful, and he couldn't help but look forward to the next military wedding, he wanted to see what kind of surprise the third uncle and Mr. Zhao would bring him together.
