Red Cloud Chapter Section 14 Scandals of large families
Evening, destined to be a carnival night, except for the staff on duty, everyone is allowed to drink to celebrate, Yuexi specially instructed the kitchen to add vegetables to everyone, it is a pity that the bonfire barbecue can no longer be held, due to the natural aversion of trees to fire, within the influence of the enchantment tree, the chain reaction of free radicals is extremely affected, and it is difficult for ordinary wood to continue to burn. However, the enchantment tree and calcium carbide can produce light and heat more effectively than fluorite and obsidian, and a stone oven barbecue and a rare supply of alcohol, fortunately the pioneers who have suffered for two months are all high, everyone is dancing and singing, and the depressed emotions of the rainy season are vented.
Under the red clouds, the old brother of Yuexi had already drunk, and the slipper snatched a jar of wine early, sitting under the red clouds, for fear that others would rob him of his wine, and at this time he was reporting to the red cloud with a red nose and telling her how many star beads she sprinkled every day.
Ah Yong lay down and asked: "Brother Yue, this red cloud is really more and more festive the more you look at it, or Brother Yue, you will name it, red cloud, good luck is rolling, wealth is rolling, with red clouds, why can we lie down and collect money in the future, I have always seen the caravans in Emerald Town in the past, and they all have to collect road tax." ”
"It's early, this will have to wait for the blind Li to connect the dark vine, and the current location of the red cloud still has to be kept secret."
"Oh, that's right."
"But it's okay, money is really not a problem, when we go back in a few days, let Young Master Ni and Shopkeeper Chen start the matter of issuing bonds, and then we will have money, and we can expand the 39th team to a battalion first." Why, even if this is a local force with territory and arms, it is the king of the mountain and the king of the tree. Yuexi was also a little drunk and told her next plan.
"A battalion, how many people do you have, our current 39th team is a platoon, and the reserve team is also 30 people. Two platoons and one company, six companies, the backbone of the strange light will cost 360 people, and Guan Zhongpu needs to buy more than 100 bodies, brother, we are so proud now, will they all be under my command in the future? Applejack was so excited.
Yuexi squinted her eyes, "It's not that you command, who else can you count on, look at your little talent, where is this, learn the art of war hard, memorize the regulations hard, and practice hard with Master Wei." ”
"Hmm."
"Brother, let's give our 39 team a name. Legions all have numbers and names. Yong proposed.
"Cow Demon."
"Knife, the level of your name is really worrying." Applejack laughs.
"If you want to care, the original cow shield does look like a cow." The name of the knife is apt, but it is not handsome enough, and everyone shakes their heads.
"Why don't you call it a field platoon?" Applejack proposes.
"Are you crazy about women, when will your mature woman come to meet you, Xiao Qingjiao, do you want my brother to teach you first, a woman in her thirties is like a wolf, and my brother is afraid that you won't be able to stand it." Datou Chen obviously has a crooked topic.
Applejack knew she couldn't talk about him in this regard, and snorted coldly.
"The 39th team will be our elite troops in the future, so let's call it the hairpin guard."
"Well, the name still depends on our brother Yue, this name is reliable."
Emerald Town, under the silver tree, the new tribune Barak had just finished reading the last document, lying on his chair for a while, the office door opened, and Lin Mei walked in happily, "Hood, look, good news, it's Liu Yuexi, the report I just received, sent by the communications office, there is a strong gravitational change reaction in an unknown area in the southeast, isn't that the direction the direction of Liu Yuexi's enclave." The time is about the same, the thunder season, you look at the data, the movement is not small! That's nice. ”
"Well, that's good." Barak's words were visibly absent-minded.
Seeing this, Lin Mei went around the office desk, hooked Barak with her hand from behind the chair, and rubbed her chin against his head, "What's the matter, Hood, have you been too tired lately?" Got something on your mind? ”
"Linmei, do you know much about this Liu Yuexi?"
"I've not known each other for too long, but I'm familiar with it, what's wrong."
"It's nothing, I just don't think he's a little."
"Why, Hood, what did you hear?" Lin Mei smelled something different.
Barak Mo took Linmei's hand, "It's just a guess, I recently talked about some things with a few colleagues in Wangjing, and the second son of the Yan family seems to have a mind about this enclave." ”
"Oh, does it matter?"
"It's hard to say, and I don't know what Liu Yuexi's background is, if there is no foundation, then it is a good choice to cooperate with the noble alliance to develop, of course, it must be at the mercy of others, but there are some key resources, and it is really not possible without nobles. Looking at the data you just had, it is estimated that Liu Yuexi has communicated with the enchantment tree, otherwise there would not be such a big movement. ”
"Isn't this a good thing, it's nice to be able to communicate with the enchantment tree on your own and even the Magister doesn't need to be invited, and you won't be held back by others." Linmei felt that it was okay.
Barak sighed, "Of course it's a good thing, but if a good thing touches someone, it's not necessarily a good person, it's a difficult person, if he Liu Yuexi can't communicate with the enchantment tree, it will be simple, there will definitely be nobles who are willing to marry their daughters and marry him, and then the magister in the noble family will have some control of the enchantment tree, and the lord is a son-in-law, and the two parties will form a tight political marriage, which will naturally be maintained as their own people." Liu Yuexi now has control of the enchantment tree by herself, and this matter has become out of order, it's hard to say. ”
"I heard him say that Lord Situ appreciates him very much, and he is old, he is half an uncle, and he has the idea of marrying his only daughter Sydney to him."
"Well, Situ Ming is weighty, and his wife's mother's family also has a magister, but I heard that Sydney has gone to Oak Academy to board and study, and she and Secretary General Lan's son seem to be a little interesting. Everything, if Liu Yuexi fails to get the support of the nobles in the end, and the son of the Yan family takes some means, I don't know what will happen. ”
"Hood, can you think of a way to help him, you see that he is not like us back then, he has ideals, ambitions, and opportunities, it's really good." Linmei hugged Barak tightly, recalling all the past.
Barak pulled Linmei over: "It's a bit like, hehe, it's been fifteen years, I'm old, you don't see much old, I will do my best to help if I can, but this is all a game on the table of Wangjing, it's difficult for a little person like you and me to interfere, it mainly depends on whether he Liu Yuexi can protect himself." Come to me tonight. ”
"Well, I'd better come over quietly, just leave the door for me." Lin Mei kissed him, turned around and left.
The small town of Solan, located 10 kilometers to the southwest, can be reached almost without crossing the dark matter realm. As the most important fortress town in the southeast, in order to ensure its strong city defense role, the town's production and related supporting facilities are deliberately dispersed to the surrounding satellite towns, like this around the Emerald Town There are more than a dozen towns, Solan is an important wood and cellulose processing base, there are not many residents, mainly some industrial workers, of course, there are also displaced people and untouchables who come here to beg for a living. It is also the hometown of Ziyue and Ziling.
In a small gambling hall in the town, a sloppy-looking middle-aged uncle was staring intently at the dice that were about to open, "Big big, hey, why is it still small." The middle-aged uncle sighed and watched as the dealer crossed his last chips.
The luck of the past few days is too bad, Brother Gua doesn't know what's going on here, he refuses to lend to him anymore, for gamblers like Twilight Aurora, he can't borrow debts to turn over his life, I thought that my daughter was married to such a powerful person, how can I say that I am also an old man, and the wealth in the future must be needless to say, but I didn't expect this Liu Yuexi to completely ignore Weng Yuexi's feelings, and treat him to death, treat him coldly, borrow money for dinner, and Ziyue, the unfilial daughter, ignores him, It's getting harder and harder. A cool breeze blew, just as cold as Ziling's attitude towards herself. Twilight Aurora flipped up the collar of her coat and curled up as she walked back. A figure stopped him, "Is that Mr. Twilight?" Aurora turned her head, "It's me, sir, do we know each other?" ”。。。。。。
Liu Mansion in Jade Town, up and down are busy, news comes from the enclave, the red cloud is officially planted, and Liu Yuexi's advance team will also return soon, so the house is making preparations, there is a large drying field in front of the big kitchen, which is a good place to do all kinds of chores, and it is also a good place for people to chat and gossip and relax.
"Eh, Xiaohong, you heard about Fa, Madame went to the shop outside with Master Monkey today."
"Really? It's almost noon, and you're back. ”
"I didn't see it, Ah Kuan, did you see the young grandmother come back?"
"Nope."
"Ah, our master is really trusting the monkey master so much, and he has entrusted this big family to the monkey master."
"Yes, I heard that the old man and the monkey master used to be brothers who had died, and they were both surnamed Liu, their own brothers, of course."
"There are some rules that you still have to pay attention to, the inner court and the brothers in the outer house are so close, it's not good to hear it." The girl named Su Lan provoked this rumor.
"Don't talk nonsense, is Madame's business something that those of us who are subordinates can talk about at will?" The older grandmother cautiously advised the young girls not to make trouble.
"Look at my mouth, what Mama Shi said is, but I heard that Mrs. used to be a dancing girl, and she happened to meet my master, and she fell in love with it, redeemed her, and later married her, it's really a good fate."
Hearing such a secret, many people who were working came over.
"So that's the case, no wonder the body is so well maintained, I saw Mrs. smiling at the monkey last time, it's really charming."
"Really? And here's the thing. ”
"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes." The girl named Qinghe said it very definitely.
"When you say that, I seem to have seen it, Madame and Master Monkey once seemed to be discussing something in the garden, and the two of them talked and laughed."
"Yes."
"What are you talking about, you don't have any work to do, right, look at you all idle, twisting your tongues, Madame is also what you deserve to discuss, let me hear it again, and I will tell Madame to fall." The one who spoke was the most powerful personal girl in Ziyue's room, Nan, Madame is now in charge of everything in the house, as the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, her personal girl is naturally one level higher than other servants, and naturally no one dares to object to what she says.
Outside Liu's mansion, a carriage stopped, the porter hurriedly brought out a stool, and it was Ziyue who got down from the car, "The monkey is really bothering you today, if you are not here, I really don't know that there is such a double reed, it is too cunning." ”
"It's okay, it's not strange to see how much, in the future, like the shopkeeper Hao, you can find me, and I promise to help you get it obedient."
"I still want to thank you, do you want to go back to your home today?"
The monkey thought for a while and said with a smile: "I still have to go back today, there are still some things at home." ”
Ziyue wanted to stay, "Why don't you leave after eating." ”
"No, I'll go first, Ziyue, you go in, it's cold outside."
The monkey's car left, and Ziyue entered the inner courtyard, and Zhinan greeted her, took off her robe for Ziyue, and brought hot water to clean her hands.
Ziyue washed her hands and asked, "Alas, I'm tired to death, Zhinan, is there anything going on in the house today?" The old lady is good, Ziling, did you do your homework? ”
Zhinan took off the accessories in Ziyue's hair, "It's all good, Miss Ziling is working hard, the old lady went to the shrine today to make offerings, and it will take a day to come back in the evening." ”
"Is there anything else going on in the house?"
Zhinan returned: "No. ”
