Changping almost rolled his eyes and said that the money was coming, "Blind, isn't it?" I didn't see my master bring his own food. ”

Qian Lai: I'm not blind, I see it! But what I said just now was just a polite gesture, and I can't take it seriously. Why can't you hear the politeness in my words?

If this is his own young master, the money will be directly scolded, but unfortunately this is not. This is the future uncle, not for anything else, just for the young master of his own family to have fewer twists and turns in the process of marrying in the future, so it is worth it for him to suffer from these idleness now.

It's all for the young master, he endures.

Alas, there are really not many people like him who are full of plans for the young master now.

Qian Lai sang a big drama in his head, but he didn't delay the movements in his hands, and he was going to pick up the things in Changping and Su Zheng's hands while smiling and talking.

Can Changping give it to him?

Definitely not.

He carried it all the way himself, in order to let Li Mingzhao feel how much he cared for him. As a result, he was almost kicked at the door, and the money came to grab the credit, and he didn't kick him aside, which was his greatest mercy to him.

Changping dodged and went directly to Li Mingzhao's room, while asking Qian Lai, "Is your son-in-law at home?" Got out of bed? ”

Where can you go at home, not at home?

The corners of Childe's mouth were bruised and purple, and today I saw that the wound was getting more and more serious. His son-in-law wants a face, so he won't go out to meet people with such a face. Childe must be at home these days, and he can't go anywhere.

As for whether you get up or not, it must be an early wake-up. It's not money to brag about it, no matter how annoying his son-in-law is, but in terms of self-discipline, it is also impossible to gossip.

For example, since the age of three when there was a master who taught martial arts, the son got up to practice martial arts on the third watch. Not afraid of the cold and heat of winter, there is never a day of shortage.

Although after practicing martial arts, maybe after taking a bath, I will lie on the bed and read the book. But it's all a trivial matter, and it's always a flaw.

Qian Lai was interested, so he wanted to talk to these little sons about their young master's self-discipline to the point of being frightening, so that several sons would have a deeper understanding of their young master, and they would move around more and come and go more in the future.

But Qian Lai obviously forgot a little, if it is really practiced in winter and summer, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was three years old, it is a mallet, and he will not be beaten by Changping on the street. If you say this, who will believe it? The point is, if you are thought about too much and you get a little tired, then you still have it?

Therefore, Li Mingzhao, who was still lying on the bed and unwilling to move in the side room, jumped up directly from the bed as if he felt some crisis.

He didn't even have time to walk to the door to open it, so he shouted inside the house, "Changping is here?" Come on in? Then he slammed open the window of the house, and greeted a few people outside the door.

After a few people finished breakfast and came back from watching Xiao Hei, the sun was getting high.

At this time, it was a little hot, and several people were also a little thirsty, so they went back to the house to drink tea.

Li Mingzhao also has a dog, the dog cub is a little small, and it looks like it is only three or five months old. The puppy was black all over, except for the tip of the nose and tail, which was named Erhei by Li Mingzhao - yes. Big Black is the black horse, this dog is called Erhei, and as for the little black horse born yesterday, it is Little Black.

Seeing this dog, Changping has something to say. He and his eldest brother and third uncle also have dogs, the third uncle is a general, and the dog they raise is called a young general. The teenager is a little bitch, and now she has several litters of puppies.

The general and the junior general went to the capital with them from Pingyang, but because the two brothers went to Yingtian Academy to study, and the third uncle also went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, they couldn't go home in their spare time, so the dogs and cubs that were originally raised separately were raised together.

And because the second uncle's family arrived in Hezhou, the house in the capital became more and more empty, so even if the young general gave birth to a few litters of puppies, he didn't give them away. Just keep it in the house and use it as a gatekeeper and nursing home, how much can it add a little excitement, right?

Changping nagged with Li Mingzhao, "Hurry up and find a little for Xiao Hei to breed, and when he has children and grandchildren, your yard will be lively." ”

The rest: "......"

Li Mingzhao was very determined, and he was not choked by these words at all, but nodded dispensably.

Changping said again, "It's a pity that we didn't bring a young general to Hezhou, otherwise we could have played with your little black." ”

Li Mingzhao: "......" then you don't need it. Our little black is still a baby, and he is a few years old from your little general.

Changping: "I still like dogs, horses, and these beasts, cough ......"

Changping intentionally or unintentionally accentuated the word "horse", and several people in the room almost instantly understood his thoughts. Su Xuan, Chang'an, Wei Qingyao, and Ban'er were a little crying and laughing. Changping has a big mind, and he is still worried about Li Mingzhao's little black, Li Mingzhao can give him a ghost.

Sure enough, I saw Li Mingzhao pretending not to understand, and said unhurriedly, "If you like it, come to me more often in the future." "As for sending you, that's impossible. Who has ever seen a fisherman feed the bait directly to the belly of the fish, so can it still attract the fish to the bait?

Changping: "...... I'd like to run to you more. Not to mention anything else, you don't have any elders to control here, how clean and comfortable you are. It's a pity that we are free this morning, and we have to hurry back in a while, and we will go to the border of Hezhou with my second uncle after lunch. I went there for several days last time, and I don't know how long it will take this time. ”

Li Mingzhao drank tea for a moment, frowned slightly, and then let go. Xu Tongzhi ...... It seems that you are going to the border to inspect the people's livelihood these days, what have you done in the past? ”

"Alas, what can you do, just fight by my second uncle's side. We can't do complicated affairs, so we just run errands and send a message. ”

Changping felt that there was nothing that the second uncle couldn't say about going to the border to inspect the people's livelihood. But he's not really a stupid white sweet, and some things are more or less taboo. Don't let him say this unintentionally, the listener has an intention, and then spread some messy things, won't it bring disaster to the reputation of the second uncle.

Changping thought of this, and swallowed back the sentence "Do you want to go with us" that was about to roll to the tip of his tongue.

Forget it, don't mention it. Although he was worried about Li Mingzhao's little black and had the heart to sell him well and build a good relationship, it still mattered to him about going to the border, and he and Li Mingzhao were not very familiar with him, so he rashly proposed to take him over, if he responded again, then ...... It's embarrassing to bring it or not.

Li Mingzhao's face was the same, but after Changping paused, he finally said, "The border at this time is not exquisite, but in early spring or midwinter, the border is still a little interesting." ”

Li Mingzhao's words attracted the attention of several people, and Chang'an keenly remembered the rumors about this person he had heard these days. I can't help but ask, "Have you been to the border?" ”

Li Mingzhao nodded, "What's so strange about this, it's not easy for the people of Hezhou to survive, so naturally they can go where they have food to eat." I was desperate and spent some time there. ”

Why are you cornered? You are dragging such a bull, it doesn't look like a person who will be forced to have no way out, right?

Changping wanted to ask Li Mingzhao, but he felt that this question was too poignant, if he annoyed Li Mingzhao again because he didn't like it, it would not be beautiful.

A few of them said some miscellaneous things, and then they dispersed.

Because Changping and the others had to leave early for lunch today, Li Mingzhao didn't leave anyone, and only sent people to the door and returned to the room.

When Qian Lai came in, he saw his son-in-law standing by the bed in the middle of the room. There hangs a topographical map of River State. On it is drawn all the mountains and rivers of the river state, and there is even a map of the distribution of the border troops stationed, and further north, there are territories occupied by the Tartars. At the junction of the "two countries", some sites for ambushes, surprise attacks, and quick battles are highlighted.

These are all places that Li Mingzhao has set foot in bits and pieces over the years. All the areas listed on the map have been measured by himself with his footsteps.

Qian came to see that the young master could see that he didn't even notice that he was coming, and his heart was sour.

If it weren't for that, his young master would definitely be riding a big black horse on the border with a big smile, and if he couldn't do it, he would take the team to inspect the safety, or carry out a secret mission to spy on the Tartar's movements.

It's good now, I can't do anything, just be a bitter soldier guarding the city gate in Hezhou.

It's all to blame on the generals.

In the afternoon, Xu Erlang led a few small ones to leave home and go to the border.

Changle specially asked Dr. Li for half a day off today, and went back to the house with Xu Erlang.

After she and Jinniang, Xiao Yu'er, and Brother Rong bid farewell to their second uncle, they went back to the backyard in a daze. "I don't know how many more days it will take for the second uncle to go."

Changle muttered "Second Uncle", but Jinniang knew that the little girl was reluctant to Chang'an and Changping.

There is no way, Chang'an and Changping can't stay in Hezhou for long, even if they have a summer vacation, but the academy's vacation is only about half a month. Although they also asked the academy for more than a month's leave, the journey from Hezhou to the capital took about a month. It can be seen that the time they spent at home was really short, and in this limited time together, there were a few days when they couldn't see each other...... It's miserable.

Jin Niang didn't persuade Changle anymore, some things have been said a long time ago, and it is useless to say it. Besides, Changle doesn't understand the truth of this. The brothers followed the second uncle, and the knowledge and things they learned in those days were more practical than what they learned in the academy. She can't stop her brothers from growing up because of her own selfishness.

In order to prevent himself from continuing to be depressed, Changle simply went to the small courtyard to pack up the medicinal herbs.

Cleaning up medicinal herbs is also a manual task. Whether it's drying, slicing, or grinding, all of them require patience and physical strength. And she was really interested in this, so after being busy for a while, she completely ran her brothers who went to the border out of the clouds and focused on their own affairs.

Xiao Yu'er's study today is particularly not smooth, although her female worker class has asked for her mother's consent, the embroidery has been removed, but she has to make patterns and make clothes herself.

Patternmaking is easy to learn, after all, she has also studied painting for two years, and she has some foundation, regardless of beauty and ugliness and whether it is appropriate, it is still quite easy to make a pattern of clothes.

Although the version she typed was somewhat ...... with what the female engineer taught Not quite the same. But it's all clothes, it's the same when it is made.

Xiao Yu'er confidently took the cotton cloth and began to cut, and the master who taught closed his distressed eyes next to him.

Although the master is the best pattern maker in the embroidery village, he can earn a hundred and ten taels of silver a year. But all this money is hard-earned, and every penny is really hard-earned money.

I think when she learned to make patterns and clothes, she was willing to use cotton there. Not to mention when she was young, let's just say that now, there are only a few children in her family who wear this particularly fine cotton cloth when they are young. You can look at the girl from this official family, but she has learned a little bit of craftsmanship, and the fine cotton cloth that can't be bought for a few taels of silver has been cut into pieces.

Cut it, cut it, as long as you can piece together the clothes, it can be regarded as the best use. But if people are speechless, they are speechless, and this is completely useless. If this is sewn, it must be of different lengths before and after, and the arms are unevenly fat and thin, even at this collar, it can also strangle a person.

This girl really has no talent in this area.

If you don't understand it like this, even if you study for ten or eight years, it's just a waste of time and looking for her things.

The master is an honest man in the end, he thought about it, he thought about it, and he pondered and pondered, before he left that day, he asked the maid to report on his behalf, and wanted to see Jinniang and talk to her about the girl in the house making patterns and clothes.

As soon as Jin Niang heard that it was the master who asked to see her, she guessed the purpose of her coming.

Xiao Yuer is really not talented at all in female work. Look, Master Lian has decided to give up, so what else can she do as a mother?

Jin Niang thought about it, let the master come in, and asked bluntly without waiting for her to salute, "Xiao Yu'er really can't save it again?" ”

Master: "......" Although what this lady said was a little difficult to understand, she could understand the general meaning. The master blushed and said embarrassedly, "It's the slave who teaches badly." ”
