"In more than half a month, our family is ready to move to the county seat, so it is better to make a list this time, you give half of the amount to my family first, and when we get to the county seat, we will go to you to get the other half of the list, so as not to move a lot of things and damage those silk threads and fabrics on the road." Gu Baoying discussed with Shopkeeper Fang.

"Okay, that's no problem! Then it will be scheduled on the twentieth day of the next month, and I will send someone to pick up the goods of this half month, so as to give you time to pack your luggage! Shopkeeper Fang thought for a while, and then said happily.

"Didn't the shopkeeper come to inspect the goods in person?" Gu Baoying said with a grin.

"No need, I'll come here for this trip, and I know that I can rest assured in the future!" The shopkeeper Fang was also smiling.

Then he left half of the list of cloth and silk threads, and went away with the finished embroidery.

Xu sighed: "We are also lucky, we met such an accommodating and talkative shopkeeper as Fang, who always took care of our private affairs and gave us a lot of time." ”

"If I didn't look at others, how could I be willing to do business with them?" Gu Baoying smiled, "This is the first amount of silver that my mother has earned after her eyes have healed!" Mother is amazing! ”

"You, just have a sweet mouth, and you will always make your mother happy!" Xu nodded his daughter's nose, and the smile on his face was more real.

finally got a month's hard salary, and Aunt Liu and Feng were also very happy.

The two immediately decided to buy a few catties of pork belly and cook a meal of braised pork at noon, so as to reward them for their hard work for a while!

Gu Baoying looked at the three of them with a smile, as if they were one or twenty years younger, as if they could empathize.

The three people of the Xu family were originally miserable, but now relying on their own skills, this day is finally getting better and better.

God is unfair, there are always people born with a golden spoon, and the other part has a hard life and a bad fate.

But she always believes that in this world, as long as you refuse to give up on yourself, strive to become a weed that will not be easily removed, and strive to break the ground and sprout in any environment, then no matter how hard the days are, you can always get better little by little.

Gu Baoying happily followed them and ate a meal of braised pork.

In the evening, Jin Siye came.

He brought what Gu Baoying begged him to do last time, as well as a freshly baked newspaper from the palace, and talked about the latest war: "...... The fight started in the north, the northern barbarians have been preparing for war for many years, this time it was menacing, the court was fully prepared, but the first battle was caught off guard, the emperor was furious, so he ordered to directly behead a veteran who led the army. ”

"It is said that this time the emperor originally appointed two main generals, one is a little-known descendant, the other is this veteran, at the beginning of the war, the two had a dispute, this veteran relied on his high seniority, deep qualifications, relying on the old and selling the old, won the approval of most of the other generals, and used his strategy, but because he was too light on the enemy, he was defeated and lost 20,000 troops."

"What? Twenty thousand! Gu Baoying was shocked by this number.

According to what she learned before, the total number of troops in Saibei is about 100,000, right?

This is the first battle, and he lost 20,000?

Won't the war in the future suddenly become more difficult?

"Otherwise, why would the emperor be so angry and directly order the beheading of the veteran? It is taboo to behead the main general in the war, but the emperor still issued such a military order, that is, to give full authority to another descendant in this war, but if this offspring is not good, I am afraid that this war in the north will be difficult. When Jin Siye talked about these current affairs, he was quite high-spirited and fierce, as if he couldn't turn into a soldier and enter the scene to kill the enemy.

"What is the origin of this afterlife? You said that his name is unknown, but why did the emperor directly appoint him as the main general? It's no wonder that the old general and most of the generals in the army disobey him. Gu Baoying was a little curious.

Then, Jin Siye glanced at her quite meaningfully.

He handed her the Di Bao and said slowly: "This later life, from the Jiang family in the capital, the name on the Di newspaper is said to be a child of the Jiang family, a genius of the sky, his real name is Jiang Jianlan, have you ever heard your father talk about this person in the past?" ”

"No ......" Gu Baoying was stunned, and took the newspaper in a daze.

She didn't expect this person to be the Jiang family at all.

In the past, Jiang Zhen didn't mention much of the Jiang family in the capital, and even if it was unnecessary, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it, except for some of his lives, he and Jiang Feng were brothers, for example, who were in the Jiang family, he hadn't talked about it.

She looked at the content of the newspaper, which was consistent with what Jin Siye said.

For this rising star of the Jiang family, he only said that he was a child of the Jiang family and was very young, but other than that, there were no more words to introduce.

"My father said before that the ancestors of the Jiang family had an extremely powerful general, and later because of the complicated situation in the imperial court, the Jiang family gave up the merits passed down from generation to generation, but they have been dormant waiting for the opportunity to revive the family, this war, it seems that the Jiang family in their capital has been waiting for a long time, if they can defeat the Northern Barbarians, they can return to the glory they once had." Gu Baoying said with a bit of sigh.

Although Jiang Zhen hadn't said much in the past, she could feel the pride in his tone when he mentioned that ancestor.

There is also the famous princess of Dingguo, she is also the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and he is also highly respected.

Even mentioning that he had been on the battlefield in the past, vaguely, he was clearly a little nostalgic, but now, the Jiang family finally got such an opportunity, but he could no longer go to the battlefield in person......

Gu Baoying couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.

Until now, she has not been able to find out the truth about the cause of death for him, and she has not been able to find him.

"Okay, don't think too much about it, I'm just here to send you something, and tell you such a thing, if you win the war in Saibei, it's okay, if you keep losing, the court will definitely start to recruit troops again, your brothers have to work harder and study hard." Jin Siye is half consoling and half reminding.

After saying this, he didn't stay long, and went to Nanxi Village instead.

Gu Baoying didn't let herself be too immersed in this sad emotion, she sorted out her mood, took this newspaper, and went to find Gu Xian and Zhiyan.

"Now that the war has broken out, the situation is a little unoptimistic, and I don't know when it will end, but I think that next year's county exam, maybe I will take this question, you have to prepare now, read more books in this area, and the disaster in Jiangnan is over, and now all parts of the country have to be rebuilt, these are also possible to test." Gu Baoying said.

"That's right, these are the places where you will definitely choose to make questions when the time comes, at least the strategy will definitely be tested, I and Zhiyan will carefully read more content in this area, and from tomorrow, I will try to do articles and practice writing." After Gu Xian read the newspaper, he thought about it.

"Then I'll be relieved." Gu Baoying smiled and didn't say anything more.

After all, they know better about reading.

On the contrary, Zhiyan read the content of the Di newspaper, and immediately thought of the relationship between the Jiang family and Jiang Zhen in the capital, and couldn't help but look at Bao Ying with a little worry.

And Bao Ying felt his concerned eyes and understood what he meant, so she smiled at him: "I'm fine, but you have to study hard, don't even fail the county exam when the time comes, then it's better to join the army and fight and go into battle to kill the enemy!" ”
