Yesterday the order was issued, today will be outside the city of the township soldiers school drill, Zhang Yue with his own soldiers to the school field on time, the expansion of the five commanders of 3,000 township soldiers, has been lined up on the school field, five large squares neatly and neatly, so that Zhang Yue can see quite satisfied.

These township soldiers have also received a certain amount of training in peacetime, and they have a foundation for distinguishing flags and drums, transmitting military orders, marching for military discipline, etc., and they are not recruits who do not understand anything, and the establishment is also complete, and what is lacking is only the intensity of training and the appointment of more reasonable officers.

But these are not easy to adjust for the time being, Zhang Yue's level is not enough, with Hou Zhang's cooperation, he pulls it out for training, but it is taboo to rearrange it all. Therefore, it can only be training, and secretly observing, and writing down capable officers so that they can be promoted at that time.

Zhang Yue's training is very simple, first of all, he requires the queue to be neat, this alone has been practicing for a whole day, some officers who have made trouble complain, and Wen Yuankai, who came to watch, also scoffed, but Zhang Yue will not tell him how important the queue is.

At night, Zhang Yue simply stayed in the barracks, so that it was convenient to communicate with the township officers, so as not to even know his own soldiers in the future. After dinner, Zhang Yue went out to patrol the camp, but when he came back, he saw a carriage parked in the small courtyard of his barracks, and Li Deliang was talking to an officer.

"Commander Zhang! You can be regarded as coming back, coming to visit on the order of my marquis Marshal, a small gift, and hope to smile! When the officer saw Zhang Yue coming back, he stepped forward to salute.

"Why is Hou Dashuai so polite, Zhang Mou is just a scattered commander, he is really poor, and he has nothing good to give back......" Zhang Yue looked embarrassed, his heart was happy, it is estimated that there are several large boxes of valuable things piled up in the carriage, and this gift will not be accepted in vain.

"It's okay! The humble post is now the head of the Ya Nei Army under Hou Dashuai, named Hou Congyi, if the commander of the chapter is free, you can go to the state government with me, my handsome is waiting for a reply! Du Tou, named Hou Congyi, invited.

"This ...... Today's training recruits, a little tired, thank you Hou Marshal for your kindness, Zhang is grateful, come to Japan for a long time, I must visit! Zhang Yue politely refused.

Hou Congyi had no choice but to nod and say goodbye, but he didn't wait to take away the carriage, Zhang Yue felt a little strange in his heart, and didn't ask too much, he sent Hou Congyi out of the camp all the way, returned to the front yard of the barracks, and couldn't wait to step forward and open the curtain of the carriage, and there was an exclamation from inside the car, and he was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

I saw three young ladies sitting in the car, the two on the left were about fourteen or fifteen years old, combing with double-ringed buns, looking pretty and lovely, with small hands tightly holding handkerchiefs, huddled in the car and a little at a loss.

On the other side was a young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a scarlet tunic skirt and a short jacket, plus a half-jacket with red flowers on a white background, and a pipa in her arms, her head slightly bowed, her black hair contrasted sharply with Shengxue's skin, and half of her side face was bright and moving, but it was as cold as frost, and she looked like a person in a hurry.

"The slave has seen General Zhang!" The two little ladies whispered softly, and got out of the carriage first in a little panic.

The former looked older, with a slender figure, a fair complexion, a delicate face, and dexterously helped the carriage to get off; The latter lowered his head, looked at his slightly chubby figure, estimated that he was panicked, his hand was empty, and he almost fell off the wheel, Zhang Yue's hands were quick, and he reached out to help her get out of the car.

The woman in the red dress holding the pipa also came out, but she didn't look at Zhang Yue, and got out of the car by herself from the other side, so that Zhang Yue's hand that she wanted to hold was empty.

"Are you originally from Marshal Hou's mansion? What's the name? Zhang Yue frowned, thinking that it would be money or something, but it was actually three little girls.

This Hou Zhang is so eyeless, I don't even know that I love money, if you send a beautiful woman, you can also send an older one, two underage girls, how can this official do it. The one holding the pipa in his arms looked okay, but his face was so cold, was it out of self-preservation, or he put on a face to show the official.

The two little maids lowered their heads, but they couldn't help but look at Zhang Yue curiously, and when they heard him ask, the two glanced at each other, and squatted on their knees together, and the older lady replied softly: "No...... We were originally slaves and maids in Li Yuanjun's mansion, my name is Qiu Xiang, and her name is Xiaohe! ”

"Akika?" Zhang Yue almost fell, and couldn't help but look at the little lady a few more times, she looked pretty good, with a fair melon seed face, big eyes and bones, she was really cute, but she couldn't connect with the Qiu Xiang in her impression.

"How old are they? What will be done? "Zhang Yue is a little difficult, there are three more little girls around him, and it will be a little inconvenient in the future.

"We are all by the side of the eldest lady, and we are responsible for serving tea and being a female celebrity on weekdays, and sometimes we also help with the cooking, serving pen, ink, calligraphy and painting...... I'm fifteen and she's thirteen. It was still Qiu Xiang who was answering, and another named Xiao He looked very nervous, and his little hand was tightly tugging on Qiu Xiang's sleeve.

"That's it! This official has taken you in! Later, you can clean up your own room and stay in it first, and then I will take you with me when I go back to Tokyo. Zhang Yue said, his eyes glancing at the young woman on the other side of the carriage from time to time, but the woman looked up at the night sky and only gave him a graceful back.

"Thank you, General!" Qiu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked her.

"I still hold the pipa and half cover my face, it seems that I am proficient in the art of opera, and the official said that I like it very much!" Zhang Yue sent the two little girls aside, immediately turned to the carriage, and walked to the opposite side of the woman in the red dress, wanting to see her face clearly, not wanting the woman to always dodge, deliberately avoiding it.

"Really? If you like the lute, I'll give it to you, but play a song to listen to? The woman in the red dress immediately turned around, stared at him sideways, saw that he was so young, with unconcealed surprise in her eyes, she reached out and handed over the pipa, the corners of her mouth were slightly mocking, as if waiting to see Zhang Yue stink.

It's really a beauty, and it should be a kabuki or a musician, which is slightly higher than the status of ordinary maids...... While she was talking, Zhang Yue finally saw her delicate and beautiful face, and subconsciously reached out to take the pipa, and suddenly became a little depressed.

"Hey...... The style is so weird, I'll try it......" Zhang Yue said with a smile.

This is a four-stringed, four-phase, twelve-fret straight-necked lute, and the bottom is also a gourd-shaped resonance box. It is somewhat different from the modern six-phase, twenty-four, and even thirty-frets of pipa. At this time, there was no 12 equal temperament with a wider vocal range, and the rhythm may be different, but it is still about the same.

Zhang Yue turned around and sat on the carriage, hugged the pipa vertically on the upturned Erlang's legs, pressed the strings with his left hand, and danced on the strings with his right hand. It's just that the sound effect is not good, and the timbre is not the same, but the Qingyue pleasant ding dong sound is also quite good.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Zhang Yue took a deep breath, and immediately played a song "Walking the Ancients", which is a masterpiece of a pipa master, and it is also his favorite and most proficient song. However, this straight-necked pipa is not easy to use, the nails are too short, and there are no special nails, and he is not interested in making mistakes a few times in a row.

"I don't think you'll really be able to ......" The woman in the red dress opened her mouth slightly, her face full of surprise.

"Of course! Let's practice together another day, and now it's your turn, your name, household registration, origin, and good at all explain clearly, and the official will see what kind of treatment you will be given. Zhang Yue said with a grin, and threw his eyes vigorously.

"Huh...... The people are the same as Qiu Xiang and the two of them, but I was originally from Hou Dashuai's mansion, and I just came from Dengzhou for two days. The woman in the red dress couldn't bear Zhang Yue's electric eyes, and turned her head to smile with a blushing face.

"Name, name, name! Say the important thing three times! Zhang Yue repeatedly emphasized that when he entered my door, he was my person, and the happy life of red sleeves and fragrance was about to begin.

"When I was young, my mother's surname was Cheng, my name was Yachan, you can call me Chan Niangzi!" Cheng Yachan was a little shy, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this young commander Zhang didn't look like a proper shape, but he was still easy to talk to, not like an ordinary vulgar martial artist, and he had never seen a woman messing around.
