"Hey! Brother Zhuzi, look at you, your daughter-in-law! ”

At the entrance of the mansion, Doudou rode on a horse, poked the pillar beside him, and said in a low voice.

The pillar raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, a large group of female workers were coming not far away, and Xu Wanyun was among them.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, Xu Wanyun is no longer the thin and small appearance she was when she was in Dengzhou, good food and regular life make her whole person look radiant: her cloud-like hair is wrapped in an indigo cloth, and on her red face, a pair of big eyes look more and more radiant; The sturdy breasts stood proudly, and even the thick cotton robe could not hide it; There was a bag in the crook of his right arm, and he didn't know what kind of gift it contained.

Xu Wanyun in the crowd smiled and feasted, chatting with her companions around her, and soon she noticed that the pillar in front of the door was staring at her, and after a touch of red light flew over her face, she lowered her head, shrank slightly, and hid in the crowd and walked quickly into the gatehouse of the mansion.

It wasn't until the figures of the female workers disappeared into the gatehouse that the pillar withdrew his gaze, as if he remembered something, and whipped Doudou angrily and said, "Don't talk nonsense! What is my daughter-in-law! …… Hurry up! Explore the way! ”

Seeing that he was annoyed, Doudou shrank his neck slightly, stuck out his tongue imperceptibly, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and followed behind the pillar in the direction of Mingshuidong.

The two of them were going to explore the way for the team to welcome their relatives tomorrow -- it was a full fifteen or six miles from the Shuishan Mansion to Mingshuidong, and although all of them were within the sphere of influence of the Fuliao Army, they still had to be careful of the sneak attack of the Koreans, so Liu Zhongwen sent them to survey to facilitate the deployment of troops.

The pillar and the battalion missing the 3rd Company arrived in Jeju on the 28th of the month - the 3rd Company was left behind in Dengju to guard the tobacco factory.

Being able to transfer back to Jeju Island before Chu Fan's big wedding made the pillar very happy, and being able to catch up with the wedding wine was of course the main reason, and the other reason was that he was really quite breathless in Dengju.

After Chu Fan left, the shareholders in Dengzhou looked at the cigarette factory more and more tightly, not only meddling in various affairs through the people who were inserted, but even the sales quota set by Chu Fan was gradually being squeezed out; Many shareholders are officials, and Lu Du does not dare to compete with them, and there is a risk of getting out of control, so Lu has complained to the pillar.

The matter of recruiting the displaced people was even more interrupted because Hou Zhibang, who had already been promoted to the Dengzhou Military Preparation Road, was forced to interrupt it, and at the same time, the training of the first battalion could only be more concealed, so as not to be caught by Hou Daotai.

All of this made Zhu anxious and angry, but he couldn't use any strength at all-in the eyes of those officials, he was just a caretaker hired by Chu Fan, and he didn't even want to talk to him.

So when he received Chu Fan's order, Zhu Zi was really happy and frightened, for fear that Chu Fan would blame him for not maintaining the situation in Dengzhou; It wasn't until the day after arriving on Jeju Island that Liu Zhongwen and Chen Shangren had a detailed conversation with him that dispelled his concerns - Gongye didn't know the reason for the deterioration of the situation in Dengju, but he just couldn't clean up, and it had little to do with him.

I haven't seen each other for half a year, and it coincides with the New Year, so Zhuzi, Doudou, Shen Teng and their old brothers naturally have a happy drink; Everyone at the banquet sighed and sighed, who would have thought that the coolies at the dock who were hungry all day long would actually have today-among the eight brothers, not to mention several battalion commanders and company commanders, even Tang Xiaomao said that he had been pressed down several times because of the heavy ruffian, but he was also a platoon commander!

The so-called "living and nourishing the qi and moving the body" led those tigers and wolves all the year round, and the brothers were no longer the bitter appearance on the dock back then; There is already the bearing of a heavy general in his speech and demeanor, and this bearing is not just a virtual shelf like those general deputy officers in Dengzhou, but a feeling of the rest of his life.

Especially Shen Teng, this guy is so thoughtful, and it really makes a little bit of sense when he talks about the future direction and strategy of the Fuliao Army - although Chu Fan did not make his strategic intentions public, he did not hide from the officers at all levels how to deal with the Korean officials and how to deal with the horse bandits in the Hanna Mountains, so Shen Teng also summed up something to some extent.

This made Zhu Zi both relieved and a little flustered: he was relieved because he felt the growth of his brothers, and he was panicked because he found that he had only been away from Gongzi's side for half a year, and many things were actually a little out of time-he couldn't understand many things Shen Teng said at all!

Coupled with those new weapons and new tactics, the veteran of the Fuliao Army felt a huge crisis even more - the training was not as good as that of other battalion leaders, and this vision and insight were not as good as those of his own brothers, but the pillar's face was a little unbearable.

So just after Chinese New Year's Eve, the pillar only gave the first battalion a day to sober up on the first day of the new year, and on the second day of the new year, he pulled the team to practice, and he also followed the crawling and rolling during the day, and pulled Liu Zhongwen and Song Xiance to ask them for advice at night, hoping to make up for this lesson as soon as possible.

"Brother Zhuzi, why didn't you just say hello to her?"

The path-finding team walked a long way, and the pillar kept his head in a hurry, and Doudou, who followed him after the horse, endured it for a long time and finally couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice - As one of the most iron-clad brothers in the pillar, Doudou certainly knew that his eldest brother was interested in Xu Wanyun, so he had the title of "your daughter-in-law".

"She doesn't want to see me, why should I put it on?" The pillar urn replied angrily.

Zhu Zi is an honest man, although he slept with a lot of Japanese women in Nagasaki, but because of the language barrier, in fact, he still knows nine out of ten about women's minds - none of them; For Xu Wanyun's feelings, he first had a strong sense of sympathy, and then slowly developed into lovesickness; I didn't think that life would be better, but Xu Wanyun dodged him - Xu Wanyun returned his monthly salary before coming to Niu Island was the most obvious refusal.

This made the pillar puzzled - speaking of which, he was also tall and talented, and now as the head of a battalion, he also occupied the shares of the East India Company, and he paid a lot of dividends every year, why didn't Xu Wanyun look down on himself?

"Brother Zhuzi, actually, this matter is easy to do," Doudou scratched his head for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Let's go find the prince, please ask the prince to come forward to help you ask for a kiss, are you afraid that she will not agree?" Do you want to ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a fierce glare from the pillar, "Shut up! …… She doesn't look down on me, I don't like her! …… I'm not allowed to tell my son about this, do you hear that? ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the dumbfounded Doudou to say anything, raised his hand and whipped the horse twice, and galloped away. (To be continued.) )
