Ge Shumei listened to Hu Xianxian's advice, neither obeyed nor immediately objected, but looked her up and down carefully like a stranger who suddenly broke in.

After looking at it, he smiled at Hu Xianxian, laughing as if he was laughing at a big fool.

Hu Xianxian was so angry that he slammed the table to stop her from laughing, if it weren't for her brother's sake, she would have thrown her hands away and let her go and die by herself, why bother persuading her bitterly?

"You want to hit me, but you see that I'm a weak woman, you're not good at making a move, are you? You also want to stop worrying about my business, but my business implicates your brother, you can't really let it go, right? Seeing her raising her eyebrows and staring, Ge Shumei was not afraid of her, and asked with a hippie smile.

"What do you want?" Hu Xianxian asked.

"I don't want to do anything, it's just that our sister-in-law and sister-in-law have never talked to each other, it's rare that you have free time, so I will teach you well, lest after you get married, others will say that the daughter of the Hu family doesn't understand the world."

Ge Shumei brushed her sideburns, and then reinserted the Jin Bu Shao, who had been loose when she was lying on the side of the bed to pick up things, and then said to Hu Xianxian, who was pale, in a slow voice: "Why are you so naïve after so many things?

Do you think that if you keep your duty, you can grow old safely? Whether it will be unlucky depends on whether the relationship is hard or not, not whether it is greedy or not.

In detail, who of the Manchu Dynasty should touch his chest in the middle of the night and say that his ass is absolutely clean? ”

didn't expect that a person like Ge Shumei, the daughter of an official family, would speak rudely, and Hu Xianxian's gloomy face couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Ge Shumei saw her smile and said more energetically: "Lei Mad and Lei Peng's father and son didn't reach out to others, but they have an industry in secret." Otherwise, where do you think Lei Mad raised so many wounded soldiers and the families of fallen soldiers?

This property is not an ancestral property like Hongbin Building, Hongbin Building has always been an industry in your father's name.

They all control the properties that are secretly attached to other people's names, and they do all the business that the imperial court does not allow officials to do.

I heard that General Youhai's soldiers can be up to 100 at a time, but if you want to train those soldiers and put those equipment, the little money allocated by the imperial court is not enough at all.

Don't think that I wronged them, these are what your brother sometimes gets drunk and chatters with me unintentionally, not only the Lei family father and son do that, but even the national teacher and Ye Guanying do that......

Your brother doesn't understand that, the soldiers under him are changed back and forth, and there are few who are truly loyal to him and can come in handy......"

Ge Shumei said these words just to emphasize that she was not greedy, because she was afraid that Hu Xianxian would look down on her, but Hu Xianxian heard it like a thunderbolt from the sky!

Lei Peng's light armor army should indeed be regarded as a private placement army, and the cost of raising such an elite army is extremely large, where does the cost of silver come from? The imperial court has always attached little importance to the navy, especially the navy in Haiphong, which allocated less silver, because it believed that no enemy army would invade from the vast sea.

Then, if it is not the military expenditure allocated by the imperial court, it must be made up by other means. I have heard that the Lei family father and son have trade contacts with Dongying, Manraka, Tianzhu, Siam and other foreign countries, is it true?

But if it is determined that the Lei family's father and son are corrupt and pervert the law, that is, the existence of the light armor army that Lei Peng is not allowed to train privately, but if it is not for Lei Peng borrowing Hu Xianxian's light armor army, Yuezhou does not know when it will be pacified.

And the Iron Guard she later formed was also modeled on the light armor army to train, but she was only responsible for training and leading them to attack the city, and she never worried about military expenses, so she ignored these things.

Thinking of the Broken Army Iron Guard, she remembered that she had not really managed the Broken Army Iron Guard, it was all Cheng Haofeng and her brother who were helping to manage it, and she was really useless.

Moreover, the elder brother is also mainly in charge of training, and the cost of breaking the army and guarding is still much higher than the military expenditure allocated by the imperial court, and the excess is all made up by Cheng Haofeng......

"Why are you so slumped? First of all, you will teach me a righteous and awe-inspiring lesson, will you have nothing to say at this time? Ge Shumei saw her in a dejected daze, and raised her eyebrows and teased.

"Yes, I'm not qualified to talk about you. I even have this mana from the Dream Crystal, not my own cultivation, which can be regarded as greedy for the power of heaven and earth, and it is the first greed! ”

Ge Shumei didn't expect her to say this very seriously, but she was a little stunned.

"Don't worry, I won't tell my brother about these things, you should also restrain yourself, otherwise he may really divorce you." Hu Xianxian put down a sentence and walked away.

When she arrived at the main hall to say goodbye to her brother, Hu Yong just left her for dinner, she tried her best to smile and said that Cheng Haofeng was still waiting for her, so she didn't stay long. Hu Yonggang heard that someone was waiting for her, and it was not easy to keep her, so she asked her to bring a few things to her to take back to honor her parents.

Out of the General's Mansion, she walked slowly and sullenly all the way, the night was getting thicker and thicker, she still didn't want to fly back to Xianyunguan quickly, it seemed that she was afraid of seeing Cheng Haofeng.

A group of late hunters ran past her, and suddenly, several men who were running in front of them reined in their horses and turned to her.

"Xianxian, why are you so preoccupied? It's so dark and you're still wandering the street alone? The person on the horse was Huo Fei, he turned over and landed on the ground, and asked with concern.

"Sister fairy, long time no see." The person who dismounted was Lu Laizun, whose still childish face was full of sincere smiles, and warmly invited: "I met you so coincidentally, can we go to have supper together?" ”

Hu Xianxian's eyes were a little dull and he looked at the nobles who dismounted with them, shook his head slightly, and flew away.

The beacon smoke on the battlefield dissipated, and the invisible beacon fire in the court was ignited again, and it was different from the enemy and the enemy when the two armies were fighting, and it was difficult to distinguish between right and wrong in many power struggles.

These people are all dressed and angry today, and they may become enemies tomorrow.

She wasn't in the mood to talk to them, and she didn't want to mingle with them, lest she feel sad to hear how one of them was.

Hu Xianxian spun and flew in the air, they couldn't see her, but she could hear them. Huo Fei and Lu Laizun called a few times, but without waiting for Hu Xianxian to respond, they had to continue to walk back.

Hearing Lu Laizun muttering in disappointment, why did Hu Xianxian leave without saying anything, Huo Fei persuaded him not to be disappointed because of this, the fairy should have been very cold and indifferent......

Hearing this, Hu Xianxian felt frightened, "cold and indifferent", when did he have anything to do with this word? Is it really unconsciously changing your mind?

When she got the child, she still flew to Xianyunguan, and landed on the corridor outside the study, and saw that the shadow reflected in the window was Cheng Haofeng still reading at night, so she looked at the shadow stupidly.

The shadow suddenly disappeared, Hu Xianxian was hugged into a warm embrace, and he smiled and whispered in his ear: "What are you doing standing outside stupidly?" ”

"You can see at night, what are you doing with candles?"

Cheng Haofeng hugged her into the study before replying: "If there is candlelight, there will be more warmth, otherwise it will be too lonely and lonely to spend a long night alone." ”

"Then I'll accompany you tonight, and I'll read at night with red sleeves." Hu Xianxian smiled, and there was sadness hidden in his smile.

Cheng Haofeng rarely saw her so weak and helpless, and there was a little excitement in the feeling of feeling sorry for her, and he picked her up horizontally and walked to the bedroom.

"Just in the study, I'll give you the stolen goods handed over by my sister-in-law."

"Huh? You can give it to me anywhere, and I'm not in a hurry to send it out. ”

Seeing that he had arrived at the door of the bedroom, Hu Xianxian grabbed his shoulders and said in a resolute tone: "Or, the red sleeves add fragrance to study at night; Or, I'm really angry and ignore you. ”

"Immortal...... What's wrong with you? Cheng Haofeng sighed twice, but still hugged her and turned back to the study.

"I was so embarrassed and scared, and I didn't know what was wrong with me." She pressed her face to his heart, wanting to get closer but feeling that she should stay away, greedy and confused.

Cheng Haofeng put her on the chair, moved another chair to sit next to her, and said softly: "You give me the things first, and I will handle it." Your sister-in-law may have said something nasty to you, don't worry, they only have a few decades to live, so why bother with them. ”

Hu Xianxian took out the gin jar and the white jade ring from his sleeve, handed them to Cheng Haofeng, and said in a begging tone, "What do you need help with?" Let me do something for you, let me do something for you. ”

"You're good, well-behaved, you're doing me a great favor." Cheng Haofeng blew her nose and felt that she was stupid, stupid and naughty.

Hu Xianxian's expression was a little darker, and he felt that he treated him as a child, and his sense of guilt and loss was even stronger: "I can't help you with anything, right?" ”

"Xianxian, why do you say that?" Cheng Haofeng finally realized that she was not simply in a mood tonight, but very wrong, so he asked with a straight face.

"I didn't expect that assisting Han Zexi would involve so many complicated things...... If I had known, I would have stopped you in the first place. ”

"That's why you're in a bad mood?"

Hu Xianxian shook his head lightly: "I don't know if it's because of these, but I just feel that I'm particularly useless." There are some things that you don't know, forget it, and it's really heavy to put it in your heart after you know it......"

Cheng Haofeng got up and walked to the back of her chair, kneaded her shoulders and said, "I kind of understand what you mean, it's like not seeing a butcher with a knife, even if you know that cattle and sheep will be slaughtered, you won't be so uncomfortable; If you see the butcher raising his knife and he can't stop it, he will feel a deep sense of powerlessness. ”

Hearing him express it more clearly than himself, Hu Xianxian felt a warm current in his heart, and he couldn't help but cry with a sour nose.

Hearing the sobbing, Cheng Haofeng turned to her and stroked her hair, which made her throw herself into Cheng Haofeng's arms and cry loudly.

Cheng Haofeng was worried that the crying in the middle of the night would attract other people, so he waved his hand and popped out a spiritual aura shield to isolate the study from the outside world.

The crying gradually decreased, Hu Xianxian raised his head to wipe his tears, and then laughed self-deprecatingly and wiped Cheng Haofeng's tear-soaked robe with his sleeve.

"What's wrong with me...... It didn't help, but it added to the trouble......"

"You're willing to come to me when you're in a bad mood, it's good that we're getting more and more inseparable from each other."

Hu Xianxian looked up at him with questions, and he gently wiped the tears on her face, "I can save my life because of you, how much do I owe you?" I never say it, and you always feel sorry for me, and you are a little bit more angry with me than I am with you. What you are willing to do for me is what I am willing to do for you, and there is something in your heart that should be told to me. ”

His appearance was very serious, as if he was teaching his disciples, as if not listening to him would be to live up to his painstaking efforts.

Hu Xianxian nodded solemnly, bit his lower lip and asked vaguely what he was afraid to ask: "You private placement...... , and the Iron Guard...... Where does the required military spending come from? ”
