It has been half a month since Han Gang returned to Qinzhou. It is different from the cold and freezing when you go to Beijing, and it is also different from the warm and cold when you go out of Beijing. At the end of March, the northwest is not a mixture of yellow and white in winter, and the spring breeze has blown to the Yumen Pass, and Qinzhou is lush green.

The spring sun couldn't be more pleasant, but so is the temperature. When he got up early in the morning, Han Gang wore a thin short shirt and exercised as usual. Even when he was in the city of Tokyo, Hanoka still maintained a regular fitness routine. After playing two sets of punches in the yard, after sweating lightly, the sturdy figure revealed by the sweaty clothes could not be seen at all a little bit of the sickness that was seriously ill and dying half a year ago.

Practicing boxing is a warm-up exercise in the morning. Push-ups, sit-ups and other most common fitness items in later generations are the main course. Speaking of which, Han Gang couldn't learn Zhao Long's innate divine power, and he could play with the stone lock with the hemp skin walnut in his hand. If you play with the stone lock at home, the wooden pole in the middle is not strong enough, and it is accidentally broken, or you simply lose your hand, and the problem of breaking tendons and bones is not so easy to treat, and it is indispensable to leave sequelae. Therefore, Han Gang only dared to choose some sports with relatively high safety to do.

Han Gang's exercises can be regarded as a bit new, Wang Hou, Li Xin, Wang Sunchen they have all seen it, but no one has learned to practice, everyone has their own exercise methods, most of them are some drill skills that have been passed down in the army for many years. Although Han Gang sometimes thought about introducing his own set into the army, and it would be quite interesting to let him do a thousand push-ups when he wanted to rectify the person in the future, but he was not qualified to meddle in military affairs, and it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to pass on these exercise moves in the barracks. As for the number of illnesses he can manage, most of them need to be recuperated, and he can really start to move his muscles and bones, and he will be pulled back the next day.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, ......"

Han Yunniang's sweet voice helped Han Gang count softly.

The little girl stood by a plum tree in the courtyard. Compared to when Han Gang left in winter, she grew a little taller, but the number of people decreased a lot. It's like a plum blossom, although it is beautiful and the big eyes are deeper, it still looks too slim. Han Yunniang suffered from lovesickness at a young age, and after seeing Han Gang, she could endure the crowd during the day, but at night, she cried and made Han Gang fall asleep in the middle of the night.

And since Han Gang came back, she has become more clingy, sending Han Gang out every day, although she doesn't say anything, her eyes are pitiful. Han Gang knew that this was a manifestation of the little girl's insecurity in her heart, and now all she could do was to comfort her best.

There are 200 push-ups and sit-ups a day, and it is not too tiring to get used to it. It didn't take much time to complete today's portions. Han Yunniang was busy serving Han Gang to change clothes. Although this is no longer like the winter time, you have to go to the shower and change clothes immediately after exercising, otherwise you will catch a cold. But if you go to the yamen with a smell of sweat, you won't be welcomed.

By the time Han Gang changed his clothes and came out again, the second elder had already gotten up. Han Gang hurriedly went over to say hello. Although his son was not by his side some time ago, after a few months of comfortable days, Han Qianliu and Han Ah Li looked a lot better, and they became a little richer, and their clothes also had a bit of wealth, which looked like an ordinary family gradually moving towards the upper class.

Seeing that Han Gang still had a little water in his hair, Han Ah Li was unhappy on his face, "Are you refining your muscles and bones again?" According to what my mother said, you should get married as soon as possible, and your father and I will also have a good heart, and you will not be like an official every day. ”

Han Gang cried out for himself: "Mother, how do you say this, the two things are not the same thing, right?" ”

"If you don't have the strength and nowhere to go, why do you sit up and lie down every day, and lie on the ground to support you?" Han Ah Li was confident, "It's better to marry a wife early, and when Yun Niang turns fourteen next year, you will accept her again." In the future, you can have a few more, and you can also help your two brothers leave some incense to keep down. ”

I don't know how many people have come to the door to propose marriage since Lu Dao this time, so that Han Ah Li is urging like this. However, Fan Zhongyan did not marry until he was thirty-six years old, and the average age of marriage for scholars in the world was obviously later than that of ordinary people. Han Gang was not very anxious, and said with a smile: "It's better to find some people to serve Daddy and Mother first, now the house at home is not small, but it is empty." ”

Now the Han family lives in this two-entry house, which Han Gang just bought after he returned, is located in Houzefang, which is dominated by eunuchs and merchants in Qinzhou City. Today is only the sixth day after the housewarming, and the firecracker debris set off to celebrate the housewarming has not yet been cleaned, and a lot can still be seen in the corner of the courtyard wall.

Compared with the surrounding houses, the courtyard house of the Han family's new house is relatively new. Only seven or eight years old, the two plum trees in the courtyard are only more than one person tall, and the moss is only a thin layer. However, the overall building is very exquisitely built, from the carved rich and noble branches on the steps into the main hall, the blue-black tiles and folded lotus tiles that are buckled like the sound of jade chimes, and the beams, rafters and pillars painted with countless layers of lacquer, it can be seen that this house was built with a lot of money.

In fact, this newly bought house of the Han family is indeed the work of a famous craftsman. Originally, it was Chen Ju's outer mansion built for himself - the Chen Zhusi who was chopped into minced meat, in addition to having more concubines at home, also raised a few outside - and after Chen Ju's family property was privately divided among the officials, this mansion became a reward for Han Gang. Although Han Gang actually paid for it, the price was the standard 'internal price'.

Although it is possible to buy a house of the same size in a few remote corners of the city for the same price, it is impossible to buy a second house with such a good construction near the state office, and the price will not be increased by three or five times.

With a house, Han Gang naturally wanted to take his parents to live in the city. The old house in Ha Long Wan Village was left untouched, and no one dared to take advantage of him. Now all we have to do is find some servants and maidservants to serve our families. Although Han Gang was already qualified to use the miscellaneous envoy's army to guard the gate for his family, he felt that it was better to find some honest and diligent subordinates first.

As Han Gang said, the new home is really not popular. When a family of four eats together, the empty inner hall seems a little too big. Li Xin, who originally lived in the Han family, left Qinzhou City because of the transfer of his position; The two cousins of Han Gang's second aunt's family came and went.

In mid-February, Li Xin was favored by Zhang Shouyue, who came to Qinzhou to report on his work, in a competition in the Department of Economic Strategy, and asked Wang Shao for a personal favor, and was transferred to Gangu City to serve as the deputy commander of the Bujun. With Zhang Shouyue covered, Li Xin's future is not worried, that is, now, his official position has surpassed the hard work of Han Gang's grandfather and uncle in a lifetime.

And Han Gang's two cousins arrived in Qinzhou when Han Gang had just entered Beijing. Although Han Gang never expected them to be comparable to Li Xin, he thought that since they were all grandfathers, there were always equally excellent genes passed down. Unexpectedly, in the inheritance, mutation also accounts for a large proportion. These two people are really not the same, they are not things.

After they arrived in Qinzhou, they stayed at Hangang's house. But he is idle all day long, picking food and clothing. Li Xin helped them find two jobs to patrol the city, and wanted them to experience it first. But they refused to do it, saying that they would wait for the third cousin of the Han family to come back and arrange a good errand. Li Xin had a cold face at that time, but the two of them were not yet conscious, they were still lazy and lazy, and the eldest of them even wanted to tease Han Yunniang with wine, and was beaten by Li Xin, who endured to the limit, and then asked Li Xin to escort him back to Han Ah Li.

It's not that Han Ah Li doesn't care about his sisters' affection, but his nephew doesn't even have a sense of proportion, so what do you expect him to help? It will definitely drag down his son in the future. Han Ah Li didn't read much, but he had a lot of knowledge and determination, so he showed no mercy.

And the younger one was much more honest after his eldest brother was driven away. He also said that he wanted to go back to Fengxiang, but he glared at Han Ah Li and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore. When Li Xin went to Gangu City again, Han Ah Li asked Li Xin to take him with him, saying that he wanted to hammer him well, so as to save him from doing things that he didn't know how to do in the future.

"I really can't imagine that the two beasts of the second sister are so virtuous, and I don't know how to raise them. Brother Xin is really a heaven and a earth. I knew that they would not succeed, so I let them stay in Fengxiang Mansion's hometown, and save them all the naughty! ”

Thinking of the two bastard boys who have no tutor, Han Ah Li is a fire in her belly, even if Feng Xiang has already asked someone to pay for it, she doesn't forget to scold when she eats. And Han Yunniang stood behind Han Ah Li, also puffing out her cheeks, looking very angry. She was really scared that day, but fortunately, Li Xin was next to her, and she directly kicked the pervert who pretended to be crazy with wine.

"What about the cousin of the fourth aunt's family? How is he? Han Gang asked about the son of his aunt who married into the Feng family as a continuation, and he forgot about it after he came back, and only now remembered it. His cousin Feng grew up in a rich family, and he didn't know if he had developed a temper.

Listening to his son ask about the Feng family, Han Ah Li also had some doubts: "It's strange to say this, I've already had people carry letters three times, why haven't I heard back?" Come or not, you have to reply, it's good to report peace. ”

"Did they really deliver the letter?" Han Gang guessed the reason for the lack of news. Nowadays, there is no post office in the world, and the post system is not for ordinary people, and if you want to send letters, you have to ask relatives, friends or fellow villagers to send them. Among them, there are upright men and gentlemen who are entrusted by others and loyal to people, and there are also those who throw the letter into the river when they turn their faces.
