Chapter 244: Visit

Mr. Sun is a trusted advisor of An Guogong and a gentleman responsible for teaching the children of the Mu family to learn the art of war. Therefore, this time An Guogong went to the north, he did not follow, but stayed in the Anguo Mansion.

Mr. Sun has been in the Anguo Mansion for many years, before Mu Zhengyi was born, he was already a staff member in the Anguo Mansion, and all the children of the Mu family grew up under his nose, and for the Mu family, he was like half of the family.

But Mr. Sun still rarely goes into the back house, unless something happens.

Therefore, as soon as she saw the old lady who came to pass the word, Mrs. Mu knew that Mr. Sun must have something to say, so she sent someone over.

"Go and invite Mr. Sun in," Mrs. Mu turned her head to look at her daughters-in-law after she finished instructing the old lady: "You don't have to be so disciplined, Mr. Sun is not an outsider." At the moment, Zhengyi is not there, except for the children at home, there is only our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Mr. Sun must have something important, so he came in at this time, and he followed to listen. ”

Mr. Sun, who got the reply, soon came in. Because Mrs. Mu had already opened her mouth and ordered, when Mr. Sun came in, the Mu family and the ladies were all sitting neatly in Mrs. Mu's room, but the children did not arrive, and only Mu Qingyi and Mu Hongshang were there.

"It's rare for you to come in," Mrs. Mu smiled when she saw Mr. Sun, "It's better to stay with me for dinner today." I asked the children to go to the warm pavilion next to them to eat, so as not to be crowded here. ”

Mr. Sun hurriedly waved his hand: "Old lady, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to dine today, the emperor sent a messenger to the north, it is the former director of the military department, Jiang came to our house after getting the news, and is now sitting in the outer study." I'm here to spread the word that the old lady and the lady have any letters to take to the north, or if the family wants to take things to the north, and the ladies should pack them up quickly, and it is best to be able to pack them all tonight. ”

"Chief Jiang?" Old Madam Mu asked, "But the Qin cha who went to the northern border to work last year?" The one who took the initiative to cooperate with the boss? ”

"It's him." Sun Shangshu nodded: "It's rare that the old lady still remembers." This Director Jiang doesn't look at his official position as high, but he is a rare minister who seeks the country, and he is extremely concerned about the affairs of the northern border. When Grandpa Guo was at home, he often praised us for his kindness. ”

"How could I not remember." Old Madam Mu nodded, but frowned slightly: "In the autumn of this year, our fold can't be delivered, so I sent Zhengyi to him for help." But how did the emperor think that at this time he sent a Qincha to the north, there are still two months before the New Year, before the New Year, the court was originally going to send a labor army to the north, if it is not a big event, how can it be sent to the Qincha at this time. ”

"It's something." Mr. Sun nodded: "But the old lady doesn't need to be nervous, this matter is not a bad thing for our house." Today, the excerpt of the Chunzhou Mansion arrived in Beijing, and the Chunzhou Mansion found out a major case of smuggling ordnance, and the emperor was furious and asked the Ministry of War to take the lead in checking the national military arsenal, and of course we had to investigate the northern border, so the emperor sent the Qin mission to the northern border. ”

"I see," Old Madam Mu nodded, but also sighed: "It's not a big deal, but it's also troublesome." This winter is getting colder, and I'm worried that the boss will be under more pressure on the defense of the north, so why did he add such a thing? ”

"The old lady doesn't need to worry too much," Mr. Sun said immediately: "Don't say anything else, the Qin messenger sent to the north is Lord Jiang, you can rest assured, he has it in his heart." ”

"That's good." Old Madam Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile on her face: "I just said, there must be something in the court today." I originally planned to send someone to the front yard to invite you, and you also know about the Xie family, Miss Xie sent a letter to Hongsheng, saying that Lord Xie Changjing took someone to the official office to report to the official today. It has been many days since Miss Xie had an accident, and the Xie family has not moved for so long, and today I suddenly went to report to the official, and I was thinking that it was probably related to the court situation. ”

"The old lady can rest assured," Mr. Sun also smiled: "The ordnance case has nothing to do with our house, and this is actually a good thing for us." The old lady doesn't know yet, the Chunzhou Mansion turned out the ordnance case because when King Yi led people to pass by, he suppressed the bandit village that had been entrenched in Tiantong Mountain for many years, and the leader of the army to suppress the bandits was our eldest young master. ”

"Oh?" Before Old Madam Mu could speak, Second Madam Mu asked anxiously, "Is it to recruit clothes and lead people to suppress bandits?" Is the dress okay? ”

"Second lady rest assured," Speaking of Mu Zhengyi, Mr. Sun also looked proud: "Our eldest young master is a serious Liupin Cloud Cavalry Captain, who has been tempered on the battlefield in the north, and is not like those straw bag generals in the government soldiers and yamen. Where can the rabble in Tiantong Mountain match the fierce Rongdi people, the eldest young master personally led the troops, and heard that in less than half a day, he set foot on two bandit villages and captured nearly three hundred bandits. ”

"I'm relieved to be dressed." Old Madam Mu muttered unhappily: "But what the hell is going on with this King of Yi, just ask us to collect clothes to escort them, but didn't they go to Zhending Mansion?" How did I go to Chunzhou, I still look forward to my eldest grandson coming back early for a blind date, this delay, and the clothes will come back a few days late, which is a good thing. ”

"I knew that the old lady would complain," Mr. Sun replied with a smile, "But when I say good things, I don't mean that the eldest young master has made meritorious contributions to suppressing bandits. The emperor sent Lord Jiang to the north this time, not only to check the military treasury. In order to let Lord Jiang count the gap in the ordnance and horses in the north by the way, the emperor said that he would let the household department allocate funds a year ago to first replenish the ordnance and horses needed by the five thousand cavalry in the north. Old lady, the emperor is preparing to recruit troops for the north! ”

"Really!" Mrs. Mu and several Mrs. Mu were very surprised when they heard the news: "This is a great thing. ”

"Don't just be busy talking," Old Madam Mu hurriedly said: "Lord Jiang is a messenger, we need a lot of help from him to replenish the military supplies in the north this time." On the reason for the clothes to go back to the door to beg him because of the sparse matter, we haven't thanked anyone yet. ”

"It just so happened that he came to visit today, and I wanted to make a good meal and invite him to dinner. It's just unfortunate that Zhengyi happened to be not at home, so it was really not decent for my wife to come forward to entertain me. But I thought about it, our house was originally not so exquisite, but I don't know if Master Jiang appreciates his face. Mr. Sun, I would like you to go to the outer study and ask Master Jiang if he would like to give my wife this face, and stay in our house for dinner. It would be great if he wanted to, and he would bother Mr. Sun to accompany him. ”

"Where does the old lady need to be so humble," Mr. Sun smiled: "You are a super high-grade lady, where will Lord Jiang casually refute your face." ”
