Separated from Sui Yi at the entrance of the street, Liu Yu carried a bag of booklets and went directly to the direction of Xufu. When someone saw it on the road, they thought it was a scholar who was going to return to his hometown with a bookbag. There are pitiful, and there are more sighers.

A scholar who looked dressed but was very shabby came over and patted Liu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tai, you and I encourage each other, and when we take the next exam, there will be a time for the wild goose pagoda to leave a name!" ”

Liu Yu glanced at this person, looking like a poor scholar, too lazy to argue, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Ren." is the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, why should we have known each other when we meet. Not this time, come back next time. ”

Liu Yue was hungry and wanted to go back for lunch, but he was afraid that even his wife would not know that he would go back at noon on an errand, and it would be very bad if there was no food after dinner.

"Brother Tai, you are really a must to compose poetry, it is better for the younger brother to be the ......"

Liu Yu glanced at him again, he was so poor that he still wanted to be the east? really has the backbone of a scholar, and when he meets the same kind, he will be generous regardless of the shyness in his pocket.

"No need, Your Excellency's name?"

"The younger brother's surname is Liu Mingning, the word is Yongyi, I don't know the ...... of the brother"

The imperial examination system of the Dashun Dynasty is different from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and you can come to the capital to take the county examination, so every time you take the big exam, the capital will be very lively, but there are very few real gold list titles, these students who fall to the top come to Beijing by one breath, and it is difficult to say whether they can find a teaching errand after returning to their hometowns, and it will be difficult to get together enough to come to the capital to take the examination in the future.

"My brother's surname is Liu, and I have the same name as you, so I won't say it." Liu Yu pointed in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion and said, "Brother Liu, you might as well go to Jingzhao Mansion to have a look, I heard that the new Sui Shaoyin of Jingfu is recruiting talents, you can go and take a look, just say that a big idler surnamed Liu with a book on his back introduced you, maybe Sui Shaoyin will accept you as a staff member." ”

"Huh?" Liu Ning was surprised and said, "The little brother has come to the capital for a short time, but I also heard that this Sui Shaoyin is a virtuous official who has a good way of governing the government, and he is an old man, how can he look at the little brother differently?" ”

Liu Yu didn't expect that a few days after Sui Yi took office, he had such a good reputation among the people. I was so hungry that I cleared my throat and said, "Go ahead, if you don't go, you really won't have a chance." ”

Sent away this Liu Ning, Liu Yuxin said that he didn't have any wrong tendons today, and he actually learned to be a Bole. Where do you not meet in life, it may be that Liu Ning's tragic appearance and boldness moved him, and this person is fortunate to be able to meet Sui Yi first.

Back to Xu's house, there is a bunch of female soldiers in front of the door with a ladder to unload the plaque, the plaque of "Xu's Mansion" is also very good, Liu Yue doesn't understand why it should be unloaded, the highest part of the ladder is a thick "lady", the person is not very old, but the shoulders are wider than a man's shoulders, the hands and feet are big, the facial features are big, and the face is also very big. This woman's big face is different from the chai gourd, which is rich, and this woman is completely born with a big basin and does not look fat at all.

Seeing that the woman took off the thick solid wood plaque alone, carried it down the ladder, saw Liu Yu, smiled and nodded, the width of this smile reached an outrageous level, and then carried the plaque and greeted Liu Yu with a smile.

Just when Liu Yu was thinking about whether to greet him with "aunt" or "aunt", the woman had already spoken: "You are your aunt, right?" Hehe, my name is Xu Caihua, this is polite. ”

"Surname Xu?" Liu Yuchi asked, "You ...... with my wife?"

Xu Caihua directly stretched out her hands and waved her hands, the plaque on her shoulders was shaky, and said, "Uncle, you misunderstood, although I am also surnamed Xu, I am different from General Xu's Xu." Why is it different, but she can't say clearly, and she followed up after a while, "In short, I have no relationship with General Xu, but General Xu treats me well on weekdays, just like my sister." ”

Younger sister? Liu Yu was not a little surprised, his wife was young, beautiful and heroic, and she was actually her sister! How old is this Xu cauliflower? No matter how you look at it, you can't tell that she is under thirty years old, let alone being Xu Xuanzhu's sister.

"What about this ...... Eldest sister, you continue to be busy, I'll go in first. ”

Liu Yu finally found a suitable name, carried the book alone into the door, and entered the main hall, only to see Lu Chu'er watching him come in with a surprised face.

"Uncle, aren't you on an errand in the palace?"

"Oh, it's a casual worker, do you have lunch, are you going to come over a little, where is your general?"

Lu Chu'er said sadly: "General...... personally cleaning the ancestral hall of the Xu family. ”

There is no one in the Xu family anymore, and outsiders say that they were built by Xu Xuan, but Liu Yu guessed that most of them were familial genetic diseases, but unfortunately they couldn't do an examination this year. Now Xu Xuanzhu has returned to the door for three dynasties, and there is only one tablet in front of him, and he must be a son-in-law to be filial.

"Send the food to the ancestral hall, I'll go see your general."

When Liu Yu arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, he saw that in the open door, Xu Xuanzhu knelt on the ground and seemed to be praying to his ancestors, Liu Yu stepped forward, Xu Xuanzhu looked up and saw Liu Yu, his face was slightly ashamed, Liu Yu immediately knelt down, and Xu Xuanzhu's face looked very moved.

The two knelt down over the ancestors of the Xu family, and Xu Xuanzhu helped Liu Yu to the table in the ancestral hall, and at this time Lu Chuer had already brought the food.

Originally, it was indecent to eat in front of the ancestral spiritual seat, but Liu Yu didn't shy away from it so much, pulled two mouthfuls of rice, suddenly remembered the stupid eldest sister, and asked, "Madam, the one outside...... Who is a very solid woman? ”

Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "What did the husband say, but Xu Caihua and Vice Marshal Xu?" ”

"Daughter Army Adjutant Marshal?"

"Hmm." Xu Xuanzhu looked at Liu Yu eating with a happy gaze, and said, "The concubine is the commander of the daughter army, and there are two deputy marshals below. ”

In the past, Liu Yu didn't understand how the daughter army recruited, and after asking in detail, he learned that on the one hand, Lu Dao was a prisoner and a woman to fill the army, and more importantly, it was recruited and transferred in the countryside. Xu Xuanzhu told Liu Yue in detail about the structure of his daughter's army, and Liu Yue couldn't help but think of the vacation that the emperor gave Xu Xuanzhu.

"The concubine went to see the emperor earlier, originally to say resignation. But the emperor didn't allow it, saying that if the daughter army had no concubine, he was afraid that the deployment would be illegal, and he wanted the concubine to return to the camp after the year, if so...... The concubine has her husband's flesh and blood, and the period of returning to the camp can be postponed again. ”

Liu Yu put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating and said with a smile: "There is still half a year before the Chinese New Year, no matter how hard you and I work, how can we solve the problems of the next generation." Then you will be able to stay in the capital forever. ”

"Concubine...... That's what it means. ”

Liu Yu looked at Xu Xuanzhu's shy appearance, it was really very different from the general Xu who was dominating on the battlefield, it may be that Xu Xuanzhu didn't taste the warmth of the family in the past, but now that he has a family, he is attached to the simple life of his husband and children, and he has become like a little woman.

Liu Yu was about to take a nap, Xu Xuanzhu suddenly took out a small burden and said, "Husband, this is just given by the emperor." ”

"It's ...... Tian Deed? Liu Yu looked at the thick pile, "How many acres?" ”

"Sixteen hundred acres."

"So much land, what are we doing with it?" Liu Yu looked at so many land deeds and felt embarrassed, "It seems that Madam, you have made outstanding achievements, and you even have more land than others." What a landlady. ”

Xu Xuanzhu hurriedly said: "Husband, these are all sealed by His Majesty in the name of his husband. If the husband finds it troublesome and is not good at taking care of it, it is better to ...... Do we sell it away? ”

"That's not necessary, go back and find a tent for your husband, manage the land for us, and collect rent every year, even if you and I don't have to do anything, it should be enough to feed the family." When Liu Yu talked about the tent, he couldn't help but think of Sui Yu's sister Sui Yu. That's a good hand at keeping accounts. The Sui family has a big business, and it shouldn't be a problem to borrow a housekeeper from her.

Liu Yu wanted to go to see the Sui family's restaurant, after all, it was his idea to bring the restaurant back to life, and it would be better to try the dishes made by Sui Yu again, so he got up and said, "Madam, go out for your husband, I have something to do." ”

Xu Xuanzhu was reluctant to say: "The husband doesn't have to be an errand, what are you going to do?" ”

"Go out of the house to hire a housekeeper, find a housekeeper, take care of the family business for us, and you and I can sit back and relax in the future." Liu Yu walked to the door, turned his head and said, "You can clean up the booklets that your husband brought back, it's important not to lose them." ”
