Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, the slanting sun hung on the branches trembling, as if it could fall at any time.

Wan Chaoyun had no choice but to resign himself to his fate in the kitchen.

Xu didn't show his identity, because he only borrowed the yard that had been abandoned for a few years, although it was taken care of, it still seemed too hasty, but it was not so bad, it could be seen that although the yard was uninhabited, it was often cleaned, so that there was no moss and cobwebs everywhere.

After looking around, Wan Chaoyun found that although this courtyard is a farmhouse, it is also a blue brick and large tile house, and the furnishings and tables and chairs in the home are extremely exquisite.

"Repair this elegant courtyard, but don't build a path for the courtyard where you can walk in a carriage?" Wan Chaoyun said he didn't understand.

Yu Yuan, who was walking behind him, hurriedly explained: "Lord Fang Caiyan said that the owner of this courtyard was originally an official in the capital, but for some reason he was convicted in the year before last, and the courtyard that had just been built had never been lived, and there was a road before, but last year's heavy rain, the mountain was slippery and muddy, and the road was covered, and there were other roads in the village, and gradually, they didn't take the original road." ”

"Guilty? Who is it? Wan Chaoyun was shocked, he was convicted the year before last, this was almost the most fierce time when the old and new factions were fighting, at that time countless officials were implicated, and the courtyard had just been built, indicating that he was from a poor family, otherwise his hometown would not be what it is now.

Yu Yuan shook his head, "I don't know. ”

"Let's cook first."

The kitchen was cleaned up by Song Shizhen with Yu Shan, Lan Qi, Han Yan, and Han Ying, although these five women are women, they are all doing men's things, and they are messed up.

Wan Chaoyun raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and then made a peaceful and prosperous world for the soldiers and horses in a kitchen, while cleaning up, while talking to Yu Yuan.

"How's the gentleman's condition? Be honest. ”

Yu Yuan thought about it and was quite embarrassed, "Miss Wan, this belongs to the patient's privacy." ”

"Get out!" Wan Chaoyun glanced at him, and the hand holding the shovel almost swept over.

Yu Yuan held his head in his hands and made a life-saving posture, "You can say it to Miss Wan." ”

"Please cut out the nonsense and get straight to the point." Wan Chaoyun gritted his teeth.

Yu Yuan carefully avoided it, stood in a safe position, and then said: "That's the case, Mr.'s illness is mainly caused by worrying about illness and overdrawing his mental strength, as long as Mr. has nothing to worry about in the next few days, and his mood fluctuations are not big, I will take care of him personally, and he will live for at least another twenty years, but if he is worried about national affairs, I am afraid that he is not optimistic, even if I am a fairy, I will not be able to save him." ”

Twenty years, the average age of this era, or it can be said to be relatively long-lived, many people do not live to sixty, only a solid family with good family conditions and no need to worry about livelihood can dare to think of a long life.

This expectation, within Wan Chaoyun's acceptance range, she nodded, "It's hard work, Doctor Yu." ”

"It should be, I have traveled abroad to practice medicine all the year round in the past few years, and many of the policies of adults are beneficial to the people, I am a doctor, I can only save one person, and he can save tens of millions of people, saving him is equivalent to saving tens of millions of people, and it can be regarded as a kind of universal sentient beings." Yu Yuan said proudly.

Wan Chaoyun had never seen Yu Yuan show such an expression, he used to be an old pedant, except for medical research, he was not interested in anything, let alone worship anyone.

Kankan cleaned up the kitchen so that he could cook with peace of mind, and Yu Yuan helped move the cutting board standing on the wall, which was very large, and it should be made of the roots of a century-old tree from the material, which was very heavy.

"That's right." Yu Yuan wanted to speak and stopped.

Wan Chaoyun found a two-pound carp from the ingredients that had already been cleaned, took it out, and prepared to make a crucian carp tofu soup. ”

Yu Yuan seemed to have something unspeakable, he first looked out of the door and found that Yu Shan was standing quite far away, not like he could hear the conversation inside, and the Lan Yu outside the window was even farther away, standing far away on the roof, and he couldn't hear it.

Apart from the two of them, there was no one else around the kitchen.

"Miss Wan, are you going to marry Master Chen?" Yu Yuan asked cautiously.

Wan Chaoyun was shocked, "You haven't heard? ”

"No, but I can see that I also asked Dr. Su Huai before, and Dr. Su Huai said that there was no matter, and said that if you get married, you will send an invitation, so I don't talk nonsense."

Wan Chaoyun laughed when he heard this, how did this sound a bit like waiting for an official declaration?

That's right, she is the spiritual pillar of the firm, and Chen Qian is the chief assistant, and the two of them are not allowed to spread any rumors until the real dust settles.

However, those who are really capable will still get the news.

For example, Emperor Yu, Emperor Lidi and Lin Jianshen, etc., but these three are not the same now, Emperor Yu only cares about when the edict of the Zen throne will come, and Emperor Lidi immediately began to carry out drastic reforms to the tribes of the country, and Lin Jianshen is very different from the two of them, he is frustrated.

"Your Royal Highness, although you are the crown prince, but the minister still can't listen to you, the minister has studied a set of tactics with the soldiers, used in this battle, it will definitely be successful, and this tactic must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise after a month, the enemy army has rested enough, and the spirit is full, and then the effect will be greatly reduced, and our people are also few, Your Highness, you can come in person, the ministers and all the soldiers are very grateful, but please also ask Your Highness to rest, come on, protect His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Chu Muyang obviously didn't dare to listen to Lin Jianshen, thinking that he was a child.

Lin Jianshen raised his eyebrows, and he sighed lightly, "General Chu, this palace admires your rigorous attitude very much, but what this palace should say has also been said, since you insist on going your own way, then this palace will have to wronged you for a few days, come here." ”

With the order, two black-clothed people came in outside the tent, and at this time, Chu Muyang realized that something seemed to be wrong, and he just called someone, but no one paid attention to him, "Your Highness?" His face was shocked.

As the leader of the royal secret guard, Su Nong walked to Chu Muyang's side, first saluted respectfully, and then said, "General Chu, I have wronged you." ”

"What are you going to do......" Before the words came out, he was knocked out by Sunong.

Lin Jianshen came to the table like a little adult, glanced at the military newspaper a few times, and then picked up a pen to write down a few military orders, Xiao Li Zi opened Chu Muyang's seal box very sensibly, and took out the big seal with a seal, "Give it to Wan Chaoyan." ”

Xiao Lizi's hand trembled when he received the military order, "Your Highness, Lord Wan is from the household department, and this time he is still the person you personally asked for, he has no military background, and he is just a langzhong, how can he do it?" ”

"I said he could do it, and he did it, so go ahead." Lin Jianshen said with reassurance.

Xiao Lizi was still very suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey, and respectfully went out with the military order.

Wan Chaoyan, as a household official, did not need to go to the front line in person, but Lin Jianshen asked him to accompany him, and he had to come over, because he was a household official, this grain and grass had to pass through his hands, reflecting his identity as an important member of the household department.

When Xiao Lizi found the others, he was counting the grain and grass, and told the soldiers on guard to be careful and not to be careless.

"Wan Da Da, Wan Da Da Man." Xiao Lizi beckoned and shouted twice.

Wan Chaoyan heard the voice and came over, "Gonggong Li, but His Royal Highness has an order?" ”

Xiao Lizi pulled Wan Chaoyan to a place far away from the people, and then showed him the military order, "Lord Wan, Your Highness said that you have a way." ”

After reading the military order, Wan Chaoyan frowned deeply, "It's a little difficult, General Chu has been preparing for war for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers has also risen sharply at this time, and suddenly he has to make a truce, and he can't let the other side see the flaws, it's a little difficult, the people in the army, after all, are upright and don't know how to act." ”

"Yes, the miscellaneous family thinks that this has to be true." Xiao Lizi was also not optimistic.

After thinking for a moment, Wan Chaoyan suddenly raised his eyebrows, "There is a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Xiao Lizi asked curiously.

Wan Chaoyan smiled mysteriously, turned around and instructed Wan Jin: "Go and invite the money and grain officer to me." ”

The money and grain officials are subordinate to the household department, and although Wan Chaoyan has entered and exited the officialdom, he is already in the household department, and there is only a waiter monk on the top, which can be described as a prosperous and promising future.

Such an official is a man of the hour, how many officials are so sour that they can't do it, scolding him for going through the back door, but they are also very envious, after all, the background is not too hard, it is impossible at all, referring to Yan Hao, his uncle and grandfather are still elders, and he only gets a master.

Therefore, the money and grain official did not dare to delay, and when he learned that Wan Chaoyan was invited, he immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and came over.

"Xiaguan Xu Zhong has seen Master Wan."

"When were the soldiers under General Chu paid?" Wan Chaoyan asked directly.

Xu Zhong is also very familiar with the business, after the founding of the country, not all the previous dynasty directly issued all the military salaries to the soldiers' families, but part of them were directly sent to the families, and part of them were sent to the soldiers, once every three months.

"Just sent it last month." Xu Zhongdao.

"Do you still have money in your account now?"

Xu Zhong shook his head blankly, thinking that Shangguan was going to check the accounts, he was so frightened that he wiped his sweat, although his hands and feet were a little unclean, but he was not excessive, he was greedy for an old lady wearing winter clothes, his son was tied and the like, three melons and two dates, so he wouldn't send a Lang Zhong to investigate, right?

Wan Chaoyan has little qualifications, but he has been in the market, looking at people's faces or something, he has already learned, he can see the apprehension in Xu Zhong's heart at a glance, and he can't help but want to scare him, "But how did I hear that someone didn't receive it?" ”

"Your Excellency!" Xu Zhongpu knelt down and made a bitter face, "My lord, the lower official only embezzled two taels of silver to buy a sweater for his mother." ”

"Huh?" Wan Chaoyan's tail note is extremely long.

Xu Zhongxin was about to jump out, "It's still ...... also used ten taels as a bundle, so that his son entered a good school. ”

"None?" Wan Chaoyan asked with a straight face.

Xu Zhong waved his hand, "No, it's really gone, Lord Mingjian!" ”

"Xu Zhong, do you know what the crime of embezzling military salaries is?" Wan Chaoyan suddenly raised his voice and asked sharply.

Xu Zhong was startled, and said with a pale face: "I know, die...... Capital crime. ”

"Do you know it's still guilty?"

"The lower official knows his mistake, and asks the lord to give the lower official a chance to mend his ways." Xu Zhong was sweating profusely at the moment, and his back was wet.

"It's not impossible for you to have a lighter plot, but ......" Wan Chaoyan pretended to be embarrassed.

"My lord, but what?"

Xiao Li Zi was speechless, this Xu Zhong can be a money and grain official, I'm afraid that General Chu will see him stupid, how can he ask questions?

"That's it." Wan Chaoyan pretended to be difficult, "You count the remaining silver money and report it to me." ”

"Yes." Xu Zhong had a feeling of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and immediately swore in his heart that he would not embezzle a child in the future!

Watching him leave as if fleeing, Xiao Lizi held his forehead, was it because he was timid, and he was all taken by General Chu?

"Father-in-law Li, please take me to find my brother-in-law." Wan Chaoyan said.

Xiao Lizi nodded hurriedly, "Lord Wan, please come with the miscellaneous family." ”

Zhuang Kuo is a fourth-rank general, and the regular establishment should be in charge of 12,000 combat personnel, but it also depends on the situation, for example, he doesn't have so many people now, and he only has 5,000 people under his command.

Five thousand combatants is actually not a small number, after all, Chu Muyang only has 80,000 people.

Xiao Lizi led Wan Chaoyan to Zhuang Kuo's camp, at this time he was returning from condolences to the wounded soldiers, and the three of them met in front of the camp tent, "Brother Yan? How do you get with Grandpa Li? But what does Your Highness command? ”

"Brother-in-law." Wan Chaoyan saluted, "Let's go in and say." ”

"Okay." Zhuang Kuo hurriedly made a gesture of please.

Xiao Lizi was slightly stunned, looking at the expressions of the two, it didn't look like they were falling out.

Zhuang Kuo and Wan Chaoyan entered the military tent, "Brother Yan, sit, I don't have any good tea here, so I won't entertain you." ”

"No good tea? It shouldn't be, didn't Qian'er send two cans to the fourth sister? She didn't give it to you? Wan Chaoyan sat down casually, talking about homely things.

Zhuang Kuo sighed when he heard this, "Don't mention it." ”

"But the fifth sister came to take it again?" Wan Chaoyan's face turned cold.

Zhuang Kuo's face was also a little unsightly, "That's it, it's just two cans of tea, as long as you can buy your fourth sister's ears are clean, it doesn't matter." ”

"The fourth sister put up with them, if it were me, hum." Wan Chaoyan sneered.

Xiao Lizi accidentally listened to the two ears, and then he understood, although the Wan family was divided, but Wan Chaoqiong is still the daughter of the third room to marry, and she has to be filial, Wan Chaoqiong and Wan Chaoyun have a good relationship over the years, what good things are there, in addition to giving some to the second room and the big house, it will also be given to Wan Chaoqiong.

Wan Chaoyun is rich and rivals the country, and he gives his relatives some things, but it is just a drizzle, and he can't match the cat that Song is really raised.

The big houses and second rooms of the ten thousand families who took things have also kept to themselves a lot, and they have never come out to cause big trouble over the years.

It's just that the third and fourth rooms are having a miserable time, because they have offended Wan Chaoyun, they have not been promoted over the years, and now the place where the two rooms are officials has long been the territory of the rebels, and the original family is not only divided from each other, but also their own masters.

"She came to let me rebel against the king, how can I be willing? If it weren't for the lady to stop her, I would have twisted her to the yamen. Zhuang Kuo said unkindly, "It's okay now, the lady has finally cooled her heart, and she won't come and go anymore." ”

"What? She actually went to Beijing to let you take refuge in the rebel king? Wan Chaoyan couldn't sit still.

"I didn't agree, your fourth sister said, let's not deduct her for punishment, it can be regarded as a full sisterhood over the years, and she will break off in the future."

Even though he said this, Wan Chaoyan and Xiao Lizi still heard the sour in the center, Wan Chaoqiong was afraid that he had been exploited a lot over the years, after all, Zhuang Kuo was a fourth-grade official, and the Wen family would give big gifts to relatives every New Year's holiday, and cloth, jewelry, and good tea were not a small number.

"That's it, it's good, the third uncle and the third aunt have always been eccentric, and they treated the fourth sister harshly, and later changed her to an official position, fortunately you are generous, and treat her well, otherwise I really don't know how she will live in this life." Wan Chaoyan's face was full of pity.

Zhuang Kuo, who was praised, was a little frightened, and immediately said: "She is willing to marry me as a martial artist, so I naturally want to treat her better, and it should be." ”

Xiao Lizi listened to it and thought why should he say these words?

His surname is Li, and his surname is not Wan.

"Father-in-law Li, it's okay, thank you." Wan Chaoyan bowed slightly.

Xiao Lizi frowned, is there anything wrong? Did they mean it to him?
