At this time, Qin Qiong gave Zhang Xuan a look, Zhang Xuan understood, and walked to the courtyard with Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong sighed and said, "Yuan Ding, who do you think will be saying good things for me in front of the saint?" ”

"Why do you think someone will say good things for you? You were originally a martial arts general, and now you have been promoted to a heroic general, isn't it normal? ”

Qin Qiong shook his head, "I just got promoted to the rank of martial arts general a few months ago, it is impossible to be promoted again so quickly, like Shixin, the rank is not promoted, but it is normal for the loose officials to be promoted, like you did not get promoted a few months ago, it is normal to be promoted this time, but my promotion is not normal, I know in my heart, someone must have said good things for me." ”

"Who do you think it will be?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

Qin Qiong pondered for a moment, and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "I thought it was Xiao Jianjun at first, but I thought it shouldn't be him, I think it should be Vice Marshal Pei, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned, Qin Qiong was actually a little politically acumen, and he actually replaced Zhang Xutuo from Pei Renji, thinking of Pei Renji secretly reporting the situation to the Shengshang, and he himself heard Pei Ju talk about it, and only then did he know Pei Renji's other secret identity.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Maybe there is this possibility, after all, the marshal was rewarded a month ago, at that time, the saint should have decided to let Vice Marshal Pei take over the position of the marshal, Vice Marshal Pei wrote a military report to the saint a month ago, and must have specifically mentioned Brother Shubao, so the saint decided to give you a promotion, I think it should be this possibility." ”

Qin Qiong nodded, Zhang Xuan's inference was reasonable, it should be like this, at this time, You Junda's angry shouts came from the room again, Qin Qiong was really not at ease, and hurriedly returned to the room.

Zhang Xuan didn't go back, his face changed slightly, just now he suddenly thought of a question, why was Qin Qiong promoted to a martial general?

If Pei Renji only used the good words he said in front of the saint as the reason for Qin Qiong's promotion, it seems that it cannot be established. What kind of person is Yang Guang, how could he promote Qin Qiong just because Pei Renji said a good word.

There must be a deeper reason for this, Pei Renji's evaluation of Qin Qiong will definitely not be as simple as just saying one or two good words.

Zhang Xuan is already a little aware of Yang Guang's true purpose, I'm afraid that Yang Guang wants to use Qin Qiong to balance himself.

Pei Ju was right. Once he is promoted to Tiger Benlang General, Yang Guang will keep an eye on him.

"General!"

A personal soldier of Zhang Xutuo walked forward quickly, bowed and saluted, "Someone outside the door is looking for the general, and he said that his surname is Pei." ”

Zhang Xuan was stunned. Who will this be? He walked quickly towards the gate, only to see a person standing on the steps outside the gate, wearing a white Confucian robe and a gauze hat, but it was Pei Xin.

"It turned out to be Pei Gongzi!"

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I'm sorry to keep my son waiting for a long time." ”

Pei Xin smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations on the general's promotion!" ”

"Isn't it the same thing for me to be promoted or not?"

"That's right, what arrangements does General Zhang have for tomorrow at noon?" Pei Xin asked with a smile.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "There are no arrangements for the past two days. ”

"That's good. Tomorrow at noon, I invite my son to have a light meal in the house, I wonder if my son can appreciate his face? ”

"No problem, is it what Pei Gong meant?"

Pei Xin laughed, "It's not my grandfather who treats you, it's my second grandfather." ”

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned in his heart, Pei Yun invited himself, what is the reason for this? He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly smiled: "No problem, I will definitely arrive on time at noon tomorrow, I don't know where the mansion is?" ”

"General, don't worry. Tomorrow at noon, I will come to pick up the general, and first declare that the general will not prepare anything, just need someone to go. ”

Jang Xuan nodded. "If that's the case, then you're welcome."

Pei Xin arched his hand and left, Zhang Xuan looked at him and walked away, a little strange in his heart, how could it be Pei Yun who came to invite him, he wanted to talk to Pei Ju about Pei Renji. I don't know if I can meet Pei Ju tomorrow

Because You Junda was in a bad mood, everyone couldn't bear to stimulate him anymore, so they canceled the celebration scheduled for the evening, and everyone went out to eat and drink, but Zhang Xuan did not go out, but stayed in Zhang Xutuo's mansion to write a letter to Wei Yunqi.

Zhang Xutuo's new mansion covers an area of 30 acres, there are many rooms, his wife and children are not in Luoyang, so that the houses are basically empty, Zhang Xuan and others live in the east courtyard, divided into three small courtyards, each has their own room.

Zhang Xuan and Wei Chigong lived in the same small courtyard, but at this time, Wei Chigong went out shopping and eating with Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan, and the courtyard was very quiet, Zhang Xuan was sitting in front of the window and writing a reply to Wei Yunqi.

Just this afternoon, Zhang Xuan received a letter from Wei Yunqi, giving him a general account of the situation in Beihai County, without Zhang Jincheng's threat, the county government in Beihai County began to gradually recover, and the people concentrated in Yidu and Linzi counties also returned home one after another, and the government gave food subsidies so that they could survive the shortage.

Zhang Xuan was more concerned about the establishment of the militia group, and when resisting the invasion of Zhang Jincheng's army in Beihai, Linzi County temporarily mobilized a militia of thousands of people to effectively resist the siege of Zhang Jincheng's army, which made Zhang Xuan see another way, establish a militia and implement the whole people to protect themselves.

In addition, Zhang Xuan is also inclined to Qi County's population settlement plan, to establish a central city, and build a small county town around it, once there is a thief invasion, the people can quickly withdraw into the central city, however, if Beihai County follows Qi County, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the imperial court, and the imperial court will think that it is controlling Beihai County, and he has to consider this risk.

At this time, the footsteps from the yard, Zhang Xuan thought it was Wei Chigong coming back, he didn't look up, but soon he felt that something was wrong, the footsteps were very soft, it seemed to be a woman's footsteps, he raised his head and looked out the window, only to see a little lady walking into the yard, about eleven or twelve years old, combing a double Luo bun, a white and round face, Zhang Xuan recognized it when he arrived, it turned out to be his little maid A Yuan.

He was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately walked out of the courtyard, "Ah Yuan, why are you here?" ”

Ah Yuanzui pursed, threw himself into Zhang Xuan's arms and cried, "Childe, why didn't you tell me when you came back?" ”

Zhang Xuan patted her head gently, feeling a little apologetic, he had been busy since he came back, and he couldn't take care of this little girl at all, "Don't cry, I'm going to see you in two days." ”

Ah Quanquan's face was full of tears, and he said with red eyes: "You can't think of me!" If people hadn't gone to the store today, who would have known you'd returned? ”

Zhang Xuan wiped away the tears on her face and said with a smile: "Let's go into the house to talk, it's cold outside!" ”

He pulled the little girl into the house, poured her a cup of hot water and smiled, "How did you find me?" ”

"Didn't Brother Wu Gang raise horses for you?"

Zhang Xuan suddenly looked at Ah Yuan again, he hadn't seen her for a few months, she had grown a little taller, wearing a fine satin green Luo skirt, embroidered cloth shoes, and a pair of gold bead earrings hanging on her earlobes, her skin was white and red, and she became more watery, "Hmm! It's not bad. Jang Hyun smiled and nodded.

Ah Yuan's face turned red, and he pursed his lips and said, "What does it mean to raise well, and people are not pigs." ”

"By the way, is Childe coming back to participate in that hero's meeting?"

"How do you know?"

"Miss Lu said! She said you should come back to the Heroes, Childe, why don't you ask her how it is? Ah Yuan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xuan's expression was slightly unnatural, and time gradually diluted his thoughts about Lu Qing, many times, Zhang Xuan also felt that there was a deep gap between himself and Lu Qing, that is, the door obstacle of the famous scholar clan, the marriage guidelines between the scholar clan, which had been strictly followed for hundreds of years, even if Lu Qing liked herself, it was difficult to cross this gap with her character.

Zhang Xuan has a deeper and deeper understanding of the concept of the family in this era, Luo Shixin is such an excellent man, and the Jia family did not marry their daughter to the Yan family in the end, instead of choosing Luo Shixin, a son of a poor family.

What's more, the door of the Lu family may not be something that he Zhang Xuan can afford, and more importantly, he Zhang Xuan doesn't want to bend down to climb this door.

Jang Hyun smiled and asked, "Is she okay?" ”

Ah Yuan's eyes slowly widened, "Childe, how can you be so cold, Miss Lu misses you so much, waiting for you, you are unexpectedly"

Ah Yuan said angrily: "Then you know that Cui Gongzi went to Lu Mansion twice to ask for marriage, even Master Lu could not refuse, to ask for the girl's opinion, the girl fought to the death, Master Lu did not agree to the Cui family, if even you don't value the girl, then she is really pitiful!" ”

Zhang Xuan's heart was shocked, he didn't expect Lu Qing to still miss himself like this, and he didn't change at all, he suddenly felt very ashamed in his heart, and said for a while: "She really rejected the Cui family's marriage twice?" ”

"Of course, the girl's affection for you is only four words."

Ah Yuan glared at Zhang Xuan, and said very dissatisfied: "Unforgettable! Do you understand? You wrote a letter to the girl, and she kept it by her side all the time. ”

Zhang Xuan became more and more ashamed in his heart, and said apologetically: "I'm too busy, you know, Shandong has been fighting, I've been in war all day, and I really don't have the energy to think about anything else." ”

These words alleviated the righteous indignation in Ah Yuan's heart, and she thought for a while, "Then when will you go to Lu Mansion to have a look, and will you do it tomorrow?" ”

"Not tomorrow, two days! Ah Yuan, do you have any news of Jade Gongzi? Zhang Xuan asked with a smile. (To be continued.) )
