190, Wind and rain (1)

Fang Ziyi twisted incense, prayed silently for his deceased parents, and then prayed silently for Yu Guozhen, Xiao Zi Ning followed her example, now Xiao Zi Ning is nine years old, the baby fat on her face has grown, and between her eyebrows, she shows the same delicate air as Fang Ziyi.

After inserting the incense, Fang Ziyi smiled and said to the boy Zining: "Zining, let's go to the back garden today, do you think it's good?" ”

"It's not good, in the winter, there's nothing to see in the back garden!" Xiao Zining immediately responded: "Ah, I know, Brother Mi is going to have a banquet in the back garden today...... Could it be that Mr. Xiao's brother-in-law is coming? ”

In the past, Zining called Yu Guozhen Mr. Xiao's brother, but now he has changed his name and called him Mr. Xiao's brother-in-law. Hearing her say this, Fang Ziyi's face turned slightly red: "There is such a thing, why don't I know?" ”

"Sister still doesn't know, it's just pretending not to know." The boy pouted: "Since it's to see Mr. Xiao's brother-in-law, then let's go ......"

"I'm not going." Fang Ziyi said angrily.

This sister of her own family is really open-mouthed, she is just uneasy in her heart, and wants to ask Yu Guozhen a few questions, but when it comes to her mouth, she just wants to see Mr. Xiao and her brother-in-law!

Even if it's just to set an example for this sister, I can't see Yu Guozhen again this time.

Fang Zining was a little anxious, pulling her arm and shaking it constantly: "Good sister, I was wrong, am I wrong?" ”

Fang Ziyi still ignored her, sat upright in front of the window, and picked up the New Year's special edition of "Storm Collection".

Seeing that she picked up the book, Fang Zining didn't dare to make any more noise, rolled her eyes, and quietly went down the embroidery building.

The cover print of this New Year's special edition of "Storm Collection" is a huge picture of a Tai Chi yin and yang fish, and on the other half of the yang, a list of names and article titles are listed.

These names are very familiar, and I usually listen to my uncle talking with Brother Mi, and I always mention these names, and every time I mention them, Brother Mi's eyebrows are raised, and he is proud to have made friends with these people.

The other half of the black inside, there is also a string of people's names and article titles printed, since the marriage with Yu Guozhen was decided, Fang Ziyi is also quite concerned about the names of all parties, so she is very clear about the identity of "Shi Kefa" at the top. At present, as the assistant of Zhang Guowei, the governor of Yingtian, he is guarding Anlu Chida, if they hadn't moved to Yingtianfu City, it would be the people under his rule.

The second name, which is also familiar, is Zhang Pu.

A few years ago, Fang Yizhi went home and mentioned the name the most, it was this Zhang Pu, every time he mentioned it, he said that he was a great figure, and there was no shortage of praise from contemporary Wei Zheng and the like. It was only after Yu Guozhen appeared that Yu Guozhen's name replaced Zhang Pu.

These two names are not the focus, the focus is on the next name.

Fang Ziyi sighed, when Fang Yizhi came back last time, he mentioned to her a little that Yu Guozhen seemed to be a little wrong with Shi Kefa, who is now guarding Anluchi Dashizhou, and now it seems that this is not just wrong, but simply about to turn his face.

It's just that I don't know why Zhang Pu was also involved.

One is a feudal official, the other is a Shilin leader, and Yu Guozhen offended these two people at the same time...... To do so is to put yourself on the cusp.

Slowly rubbing the cover of "Storm Collection", Fang Ziyi closed his eyes slightly, imagining how he would deal with this matter if he were Yu Guozhen.

No matter how famous Shi Kefa and Zhang Pu are, they are all others, and Yu Guozhen is not someone else, no matter what is right or wrong, Fang Ziyi's heart is biased towards Yu Guozhen.

"Sister, sister!" After pondering for a long time, Fang Ziyi couldn't find an answer, but at this moment, she heard the sound of Zi Ning trotting back, and then the voice of the secret cousin laughing also came.

"Jimin, half of Zi Ning's naughtiness is what you are used to."

"Where is naughty, girl's family, you have to be pampered."

The voice of the voice in the back is relatively low, and it is very calm and reassuring when you hear it. Fang Ziyi's face suddenly turned red, and she covered her chest with her hands, for fear that her heart would jump out.

It's Yu Guozhen...... How did he get here?

The boy Ningden climbed upstairs and grabbed her: "Sister, didn't you say you wanted to see Brother Jimin, now I have invited Brother Jimin." ”

Fang Ziyi glanced at Zi Ning angrily, it turned out to be this little girl's idea, according to the plan, the two will get married this year, and they can't see each other before they get married!

"My sister just come out, there is a foolish brother here." Fang Yizhi's voice came up.

Fang Ziyi stood up, walked a few steps downstairs, and then lowered the curtain at the door: "Brother Mizhi, please ask Gongzi Yu to go upstairs and talk." ”

As he spoke, he motioned for the boy to move the two chairs out of the curtain. Fang Zining pouted, but still did as she wanted.

The sound of going upstairs sounded, Fang Yizhi's footsteps Fang Ziyi was very familiar, it was the kind of brisk, and Yu Guozhen's footsteps behind him seemed much more steady.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fang Ziyi suddenly felt at ease, and the worry that was originally lying in her heart instantly disappeared.

This is a man who is more calm and reliable than Brother Mi, it is her world, it is her lifelong dependence, no matter what he does, she should believe it wholeheartedly.

So she stood up and was in the curtain, saluting to some vague figure outside the curtain.

"My little sister has seen Brother Mi and Yu Gongzi."

At the same time, in Suzhou, Zhang Pu slowly poured another cup of tea for himself. According to the rules, in the first month, Shi Kefa wanted to come to the chief official Zhang Guowei to complain, and the governor of the ten prefectures was in Suzhou, so Zhang Pu came here first.

Shi Kefa, who was dressed in civilian clothes, sat in front of him, looking at him like this, a smile appeared on his face: "I stole a long time to be idle, I didn't expect it, it's the New Year, and there are so many miscellaneous things...... It's not easy to train soldiers, so I have been waiting for a long time. ”

"Haha, why did Brother Dao Neighbor say this, Brother Dao Neighbor worked hard for the country, and it was too late for the younger brother to admire."

"Alas, training the army by myself, I know why Yu Jimin values his family so much, no matter how I persuade him, I am not willing to let go, if I really work hard for the main officer, like my own children, how can I be willing to hand it over to others!"

"Honestly, although the younger brother has seen Yu Jimin many times before, and knows that he is good at training, he doesn't know that his soldiers are actually trained like this!"

The memories of the two went back to years ago, they discussed the next issue of "Storm Collection" with Yu Guozhen in the Hosoliu Courtyard, and then Yu Guozhen invited them to the Hosoyanagi Courtyard to visit very reasonably. Whether it was Shi Kefa or Zhang Pu, it was the first time to enter the Xiliu Courtyard, and what they saw after entering made them extremely surprised.

The first thing they saw was twenty disabled people, even if they were disabled, they still had a smell of fierceness, Yu Guozhen told them that these were the family members who had been injured after several wars and could not heal, and the results of their inquiries proved this. After these people were injured, Yu Guozhen did not abandon them, not only did he have a regular allowance of enough food and clothing for his family, but also as long as he wanted to, he could find a job in another hospital that he could bear.

Then Yu Guozhen took them to visit the breakfast scene of Jiawei, the meat stuffed steamed buns with white noodles, the fried fritters that were fluffy, the salted fish for rice, and the egg cauliflower leaf soup in the big iron pot, which made Shi Kefa and Zhang Pu dumbfounded.

Even the breakfast of a medium-sized family will not be so rich.

The population of the Ming Dynasty is too much, the land of the Ming Dynasty is too small, there is not enough land, there is not enough nutrition, so the food of the people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the meat, is very insufficient. Moreover, this deficiency was even more serious in the later Manchu Qing Dynasty, resulting in a continuous decline in the height and physique of the Chinese race.

At this time, countless lands suitable for cultivation were either deserted or occupied by natives who could only slash and burn.

"It's too extravagant." Recalling that breakfast, Shi Kefa and Zhang Pu said in unison.

"The rest of the queues are all seen in various military books, but these three meals are really not something that the imperial court can afford. It is the elite family raised by the generals of each town, but I am afraid that there is no such food. Zhang Pu smiled bitterly: "Dao neighbor, only Yu Jimin, a local tyrant, has such financial resources. ”

"You see only his wealth, but I see his courage...... There are not many people who are rich in money, but they have money either to buy land and buy houses extravagantly, or to store and lend, and they also have a lot of money, but who will use so much money to improve the food of the family? ”

Yu Guozhen initially gave the family guards a pound of fish and meat per person per day, but later found that such a standard was too high, not because the financial resources could not stand it, but after the initial starvation period passed, there was soon a large surplus of food. So he adjusted the structure and made it more reasonable.

Then they saw the drills of the guards, mainly physical training, and Yu Guozhen realized that even in the later era of mechanization, physical training still occupied an extremely important role in the training of soldiers, and this is not without reason. What's more, in this transitional period from cold weapons to firearms, physical fitness is the foundation of everything.

Those equipment and methods for training physical fitness, although Shi Kefa and Zhang Pu also had a certain interest, they were far less shocked by the food. After all, in their opinion, they can also make up these tricks.

"At that time, I didn't think there was any difficulty in acting, but now I know that it is not easy to play only one queue, and I have also played these soldiers for six days, but now, they can't even distinguish between the left and right feet, which is really annoying." Shi Kefa said again.

"Speaking of which, it is now the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and the New Year's special issue of "Storm Collection" that Yu Jimin said should always come out, right?"

"Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"

"Perhaps...... Who's out there? ”

"Senator, the Storm Set has been delivered."

"I really said that Cao Ying Cao is here, haha, since that's the case, take it in."

Shi Kefa and Zhang Pu looked at each other and smiled, both of them were just posting articles on the "Storm Collection", for a literati, it is a great achievement to be able to print their own articles into a book with the fragrance of ink, and to make meritorious contributions to the speech, this is the speech.

Soon the new issue of "Storm Collection" was presented in the hands of the two, Shi Kefa's eyes slipped, and he was very satisfied when he saw his name first, while Zhang Pu was slightly regretful when he saw that his name was in second place.

Then they saw the name of the third person.

"Shaft dares!" Shi Kefa, who has always been a humble gentleman, kicked down the bookcase, gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to choose someone to eat!

And Zhang Pu has an alternate blue and white complexion, and his eyes are hollow!

At the same time, the two grabbed the book of "Storm Collection" and reconfirmed the name of the third person, even Zhang Pu At this time, he didn't care about the image, and scolded: "Yu Jimin, you deceive people too much!" ”
