The third is more presented, and by the way, ask for a few more recommendation votes

In the hall of Chen Dexing's mansion, it was noon when the sun was shining, and it was time for a family banquet to be full.

For the family background in this life, Chen Dexing has only one feeling - good!

Not only is the house spacious, but the food is also delicious, and there are two beauties in the house, one big and one small...... It's a pity that you can only watch from a distance and can't play with it. And Chen Dexing has a lot of properties under his name, in addition to this house, there is also a smaller house in Yangzhou City, which is now free for Monk Liu's family to live in - Monk Liu is not a real monk, of course he has a wife, and a pair of teenage children. In addition to the family house, Chen Dexing also has a crude medicine shop named Bencaotang under his name, and there are more than 1,000 acres of fine paddy fields on the east bank of the canal outside Yangzhou City...... Count yourself as a big landowner! Of course, these fields were also left by his grandfather Chen Hushan, but they were not bought but forcibly occupied!

Well, it's not that the original landlord is driven away and forcibly occupied, but that the land is occupied by forcible occupation -- the city of Yangzhou has been surrounded by wars over the years, and after every military disaster, there will always be an ownerless land, and the original landlord either died in the war or fled with his family. Their land was occupied by the two Huai Jiangmen without compensation, which is the value of an official!

Today's Yangzhou, and even the entire Lianghuai, almost no longer have the class of yeoman farmers. There were only large landowners who occupied large tracts of land and tenants who had no land to live in. And the former, either the eunuch or the general, if one or two generations can't produce an official, the family will be weakened. And because the Chen family did not have a real head to support the family after the death of Chen Hushan and Chen Huai'an's father and son, the land property has also been decreasing in the past ten years. But now that Chen Dexing is about to rise, this family should naturally be revived.

After confirming that her son had no intention of taking the imperial examination, Guo Fu'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "That's right, our Huai people's reading is not comparable to the scholars in Jiangnan, and the cultivation and reading house near Yangzhou has withered badly over the years." This time the northern captives invaded the south, and there will not be many farming and reading homes destroyed, so it is better to wait for the war disaster to pass, and then find a knowledgeable and gifted person for the second brother, it is best to have the grandmother and brother all folded. ”

This Guo Fu'er is really calculating. The well-read daughter is definitely not a farmer's daughter, and the family must have a land. And if both parents and brothers were killed by the Mongols, this land property could only be inherited by the son-in-law, who was a military attachΓ©...... This is also a way for the two Huai generals to encroach on the "Borderlands"! It was Guo Fuer herself, who was once the target of others' coveting! It's just that there is an adopted son who can fill the official position and an uncle who is a civil official in Lin'an, so that the family business can be preserved.

And now, with the improvement of Chen Dexing's status, Guo Fuer has also changed from a prey to a hunter! I started to think about other people's fields.

Chen Dexing shook his head slightly and said, "Mother...... This matter is not in a hurry, the child is busy at the moment, and in a few months he may have to lead troops to Jinghu, and he will go to Sichuan to fight with the Beiyu after the river rises in the spring and summer of next year! ”

Guo Fu'er heard him say that he was going to Sichuan to fight, and frowned slightly, "Do you want to go to Sichuan to fight the northern captives?" I heard that the Tartars in Sichuan are their Great Khan's relatives, and there are tens of thousands of real Tartars alone! I'm afraid it's another hard battle......"

Chen Dexing's pretty lady is the wife of the general, and most of the people who come and go on weekdays are women of similar status, and they know a lot of military affairs.

Chen Dexing looked down at the bright hardwood table in front of him, and said: "There are many northern captives in Sichuan, and there are many opportunities for meritorious service. ”

After walking on the edge of life and death a few times, Chen Dexing has already thought about it. It is an unchangeable fact that the soul is reborn, so finding a way to live this life is the most important thing. And a good family affair will be of great help to your future career. Can't you just take a wife......

Guo Fu'er smiled and said, "The second brother has great ambitions, and he doesn't want to get married in a hurry, so he might as well take a concubine room first." Look at this Rong'er...... How is it? ”

Wang Rong'er is now waiting in the hall, hearing this, the little girl quickly pursed her lips and looked at Chen Dexing, her big eyes were watery, full of expectation.

This second brother Chen coveted himself before, and he was waiting for him to touch the door every night!

"Mother, Rong'er is too young." Chen Dexing shook his head.

"Rong'er is too young?" Guo Fu'er was stunned for a moment, "It's not small, Rong'er is already thirteen, and she will be fourteen after the New Year, and she was so old when she married your father." ”

Chen Dexing thought to himself, this pretty lady is really pitiful, she married a military man in her twenties at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and it didn't take long for her to be widowed! Now it is obviously a blooming peony flower, but no one picks it, and you can only keep the empty room alone every night......

Wang Rong'er looks like she is about to cry, where is she small? Isn't thirteen or fourteen years old a good year to be a concubine? This second brother thinks that the girl of thirteen or fourteen is small, is it possible that he likes half-aged in their twenties?

"It's better in a few years, let's talk about it when Rong'er grows up." Chen Dexing gently turned the cup in his hand, but his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by Guo Fuer. Although he has a memory of the ancients, his aesthetics and consciousness are still modern. Guo Fu'er's appearance is too fat in the Southern Song Dynasty, which prefers weak women, and at the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, she looks like a half-old in the Song Dynasty. But in Chen Dexing's tears, he is graceful, delicate, and incomprehensible......

Guo Fu'er was looked at by Chen Dexing's burning gaze, and her cheeks suddenly turned pink, but she was reluctant to reprimand, as if she enjoyed this gaze. After a while, he coughed lightly: "Second brother, it's not early today, it's better to rest first." ”

As she spoke, Guo Fu'er got up, and Lianbu fled lightly.

Chen Dexing was a little reluctant to withdraw his eyes, and then threw himself at Monk Liu, who was sitting opposite him, just burying his head in eating and drinking-this old Liu was a wise man.

"Monk," Chen Dexing said lightly, "It's not too early, you should go back early, and go to the Wurui military camp tomorrow to take a leave for me." ”

"Little brother understands." Monk Liu stood up, gave Chen Dexing a salute, and then withdrew. walked to the door, but was stopped by Chen Dexing again.

"Monk, thanks to you this time, when your official body comes down, I will definitely send you a deputy general." Chen Dexing said.

Monk Liu didn't even have a miscellaneous official before, but he was just effective. Although the credit of the battle the day before yesterday is not small, the foundation is there, and he has been promoted to Chengxinlang nine officials in a row. Among Chen Dexing's twenty-one righteous brothers, there are several officials who are older than him. However, the civil and military missions of the Song Dynasty did not necessarily correspond exactly to the official rank. A lower rank can also receive a larger assignment, and a higher rank may also serve as a smaller assignment.

After sending Monk Liu away, Chen Dexing beckoned Wang Rong'er again, and said, "Rong'er, take a ruler early tomorrow morning, a few feathers on the wings of a white goose, and send a pile of golden millet paper to my study." ”

The little girl was stunned, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Erlang, what do you want...... Goose feathers? ”

"It's goose feathers," Chen Dexing nodded, and said: "It must be the long feathers on the wings of the white goose, if there are long feathers on the wings of the crow, it can also be sent to the study early tomorrow morning, I will be useful." ”
