Early in the morning, Yang Ling rode a horse and hurried to the post office steadily. The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, he mentioned yesterday that the saddle was too hard, and the young lady made him a thick mattress overnight, which was light and soft on the saddle, and he was worried about shaking off his self-sufficiency.

The official parade of officials generally shook to the door of the post office, suddenly from far and near the sound of horses' hooves, more than ten fast horses galloped to the scene, Yang Ling looked up, a group of guards with bright armor surrounded by a general with a helmet and armor, it was that Bi Chun Bi Du Si.

Bi Dusi's face was full of spring breeze, which was very different from yesterday's domineering momentum, he held the horsewhip upside down, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, take care of me, this general is here to thank you."

Last night, Guan Shouying escorted the grain and grass back, and told Yang Ling's words to him as they were, and Guan Shouying was still proud when he repeated it, and this pro-soldier captain who had a intestine to the end was very useful to Yang Ling's words.

Bi Chun has been in officialdom for a long time, and he will not introduce Yang Ling to his life because of a few words of affection, but he still feels very happy, and he has a good impression of Yang Ling. When he went to the city early in the morning to ride his horse, he thought of this post man, and on a whim, he simply turned directly to the post office to express his gratitude.

Yang Ling hurriedly stepped forward to be polite, Bi Chun heard that he was going to worship an elder, but it was inconvenient to leave immediately, so he also went in to pay his respects, so as not to lose his etiquette.

A group of people entered the yard, saw the courtyard parked in the courtyard of the Min County Order of the green sedan chair, it turned out that all colleagues arrived at the county government early in the morning, first to visit the adults, Min Zhi County in the arrow wound is not deep, all because of the poison on the arrow to faint for so long, this wake up body is fine, I heard that Ma Yicheng is dead, remember that only Yang Ling accompanied him last night, quite a rabbit dead fox sad feeling, regardless of dissuasion, but also by sedan car to mourn.

Ma Ang's brothers and sisters couldn't imagine that Yang Ling could find so many people with status to condole, don't look at Min Zhixian who usually calls Ma Yicheng brothers, firstly, there is silver for him, and secondly, Ma Yicheng has a Jinyiwei brand on his body, otherwise it is several levels behind, and it is a big face for people to come.

As for the general who came in with Yang Ling, you can just think about how it feels to be a county postmaster who passed away and a deputy provincial leader came to attend the funeral.

Some of these two brothers and sisters had never seen each other before, so they naturally came for Yang Ling's face. Thinking of this, Ma Ang was really grateful to Yang Ling, but Ma Li'er looked at him with a little more resentment in his eyes, which made Yang Ling inexplicable.

Bi Chun originally just came in to go through the motions, but when he saw Ma Li'er, he was reluctant to leave for a while. He didn't expect to see such a wonderful beauty in this small place, Wan Tingting was fifteen or sixteen years old, full of vegetarian clothes, and looked weak.

The face that is blown is like the first bloom of flower petals, and the frost is dewed, it is really indescribably delicate, and her three concubines can be regarded as Jiangnan beauties, but none of them can match her six-point beauty.

It wasn't until the two brothers and sisters came to him to thank him, the highest-ranking official, that Bi Dusi withdrew his reluctant gaze, sat down and accepted their salutes, and then raised his right hand and said: "Two of you, please get up, Ling Zun sacrificed his life for the country, Bi Mou is also extremely respectful, and it is also appropriate to come to pay respects."

The two brothers and sisters bowed but didn't get up, Ma Ang said: "General, Ma Ang wants to join the officers and soldiers, kill the Tartars, protect the Daming, avenge the father, please fulfill it."

"This" Bi Chun couldn't help but hesitate, if he was a soldier in the battalion, it would be easy to accept a few people casually, but his army was controlled by the guard, and the soldiers under his command were all military households, passed from father to son, son to grandson, from generation to generation, although there were also impostors who were soldiers in private, but it was inconvenient to openly accept them in front of so many people.

Ma Li'er raised her head and said: "General, my brother has learned martial arts, and he is still a pawn of a horse, and I beg my lord to give him the opportunity to be filial to his father and loyal to the country."

Seeing this beauty begging softly, Bi Chun's body was half crispy, his triangular eyes narrowed, and his mind was hot: "Okay, hurry up, you know both martial arts and literacy, first come to my side to be a pro-soldier, serve as a chief, and then promote your official after making military merits in the future."

Maang kowtowed diligently and stood up. Although he is small, after all, he is also an officer, Ma Ang has always regarded himself very highly, and he is confident that with his own martial arts, he can not only avenge his father in the army, but also find an official position.

His brother had a way out, and Ma Li'er was also happy for him, but when he thought that his brother was in the army, he was left alone, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

The war was unclear, Bi Chun did not dare to stay for a long time, sat down for a while, then said goodbye and returned to the barracks, and instructed Ma Ang to go to the barracks to report after the funeral. Lord Min had not healed from the arrow wound and did not sit for a long time, and all the officials of the county government had their own affairs to be busy, so they also resigned and left.

It stands to reason that the brothers and sisters of the Ma family should keep the spirit for seven days, and then let the old father enter the earth for peace, but at that time, pay attention to the fallen leaves and return to the roots, if they die in a foreign country, they generally stop in the temple and other places, and then transport them back to their hometown for burial when they have the opportunity.

After some discussion, the two brothers and sisters decided to store the coffin in the Pudu Temple of Jimingyi, and then transport it back to their hometown later. Now Ma Ang is eager for revenge and eager to join the army, although he does not follow the system to guard the spirit, this can be regarded as filial piety, and naturally no one will blame him.

But how to arrange Ma Li'er this time has become a problem. Yang Ling saw Ma Ang looking at him, so he said, "Brother Ma doesn't have to worry, Miss still lives here!" ”

Ma Li'er glanced at him lightly, and said with a straight face: "My brother and sister have nothing to do with the post office now, wouldn't it be unjustifiable to live here." Women love to hold grudges the most, especially beauties who are used to being spoiled, Yang Ling only thought that she still hated that little official, and said, "What is this?" I'll arrange it for you in a moment."

Ma Li'er cocked her nose and said: "I don't have anything to do with you, and I don't have any reason, so I don't know if there are some gossips."

Ma Ang glared and said, "Who dares? Besides, there are people who don't get married, why don't you bring the reason, Brother Yang and I are also good friends, what does it have to do with helping me take care of my sister? ”

Ma Li'er stomped her foot and turned her head away from the idiot. Yang Ling secretly thought about it, but felt that what Ma Li'er said was reasonable, because he was only acting as an agent for the post office, and he didn't even have his family members moved into the post office, if he accommodated a young girl to live here, it might really attract some gossip.

When Min County Ling Fang was leaving, he also said that someone had gone to inform his brother-in-law, so it was better to let her go to live with the young lady for a few days, and move to the post office to live, and wait for the official appointment to be issued.

When he said this, he saw Ma Ang's mouth open like a hippopotamus yawning, Ma Li'er's willow eyebrows also stood up, and he hurriedly added: "Well, let's be a companion with Humble Jing first, and I'll just move to live in the post office." When the Tartar has retired, the young lady will decide that it is not too late to stop."

Ma Ang couldn't help but be overjoyed, what else was there to worry about in this arrangement. Ma Li'er glanced at Yang Ling, thought about it and didn't say anything more, and the matter was settled.

On that day, the Tartars only sent a small force to make tentative contact with the Ming army, and both sides were testing the strength of the other, and neither of them was engaged in the main battle.

Recently, Yang Ling led people to help Ma Ang's brothers and sisters move Ma Yicheng's coffin to Pudu Temple, and everything was arranged, and Ma Ang went to Bidu Si to report to the army. Yang Ling took Ma Li'er home, the young lady was a warm-hearted woman, and she sympathized with the eldest lady in distress, and heard that she just came to borrow it for a few days, so she naturally agreed without a word.

Ma Li'er was cold to Yang Ling, and she was still affectionate when she saw Han Youniang, which made Yang Ling greatly relieved. Ma Li'er even laughed at him coldly and fakely all day, Yang Ling didn't know where he had offended her, and he was really afraid that this Ma Qianjin would also play a young lady's temper when she arrived at home, he could stand it, but he couldn't bear anyone to be angry with the young lady.

The young lady reads little, but her surname is gentle and well-behaved, and she knows what to say and what not to say. Ma Li'er grew up outside the Saiwai since she was a child, and she couldn't stand the appearance of the women who read poetry and books in the Central Plains, and she talked to her very well, and the two became very familiar after a while.

A figure quietly flashed into the gatehouse and asked the gatehouse, "Is Lord Yicheng here?" ”

Now this porter turned out to be a post man, because he was injured in the city when his leg was injured, and he was unable to move, and the post office is now short of manpower, so he and the original porter temporarily changed positions, he also thought that the person who came to ask was the acting post Cheng Yang Ling, sat on the kang and asked: "My lord just went out, what is the matter with you?" ”

As he spoke, he looked around, and saw that the person who came was dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and the brim of a dogskin windproof hat was pressed tightly against his eyebrows, and his face was full of wind and frost.

When the man heard this, he took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his bosom, handed it to him, and said, "I have come from outside the Guan, and I have to rush back overnight, so please transfer this bag of things to Lord Yicheng, and take my leave!" ”

The porter nodded and took the oiled paper bag, and the man pushed the door open and flashed into the night. The porter looked at the letter and saw that there was a strange fish drawn on the seal of the fire paint, but he didn't care, yawned, and stacked the letter at the head of the bed.
