The housekeeper was stunned, and hurriedly apologized that she didn't know people clearly, and sent such a person to Mrs. to serve, and this was disposed of......

Mei Niang didn't blame her, but said a few good words to make her relax.

People's hearts are separated from their bellies, who can say that they have never known people clearly?

In fact, she liked Hongrui at first, Hongrui was smart and capable, and when she first came to her, everything was arranged for her properly. She didn't know the situation in the palace of the protector general, and she told her and introduced her one by one.

Because of this, she thinks she is good and treats her well.

Maybe it was this that made her get carried away and dare to say anything.

How much has she tasted the warmth and coldness of people after years of wandering? The help and care given in the difficult situation are more precious than the spark in winter.

If there is no Sister Su, there is still no one in the world who can talk about her and Xiao Mo, let alone a family reunion now.

What identity is different, what is a lowly merchant background, and what is not worthy of associating with her? Anyone can say this kind of thing, but she can't alone.

Not at any time.

Not only can't she herself, but neither can the people around her.

The front yard, which was smashed by Luo Yanshu and others, had just barely cleaned up, and Mei Niang came.

Su Jin stepped forward to greet her, and was about to salute with a smile, but was hurriedly stopped by Mei Niang.

"Sister Su, what are you doing? It's too raw! Don't do that in the future. ”

Su Jinsui smiled: "Sister Mei doesn't blame me for being rude." ”

"How so?" The two looked at each other and smiled, and Su Jin invited Mei Niang into the house.

"I'm relieved to know you're okay! The Luo family is not an ordinary family in Wushui City, and Sister Su will be more careful in the future. ”

Mei Niang had already arrived here two or three months before Su Jin came to Wushui City, and naturally heard a lot about the Luo family.

Su Jin chuckled: "No matter how capable they are, they can't cover the sky with one hand, and my sister doesn't have to worry about me." ”

Mei Niang nodded, "If you need help when, Sister Su is not polite." ”

Mei Niang handed a small golden token wrapped in a handkerchief to Su Jin: "This is given to me by the general, and it is useless for me to take it, so I will temporarily put it here with Sister Su." The general said that this token represents the Protector General's Mansion, and I think it will be of some use to Sister Su. ”

"This-" Su Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly shook his head: "This is too precious, if it doesn't work, I can't accept it!" ”

"Sister Su, don't be polite to me, it's not for you, it's just for you temporarily. You don't have to use it, do you? Mei Niang naturally refused to take it back, and insisted on accepting it with a smile.

General Zheng is more afraid of having something to do with the local government in the army, Duan Fu has always been a good looker for General Zheng, and it is not good to be close to the Su Jin family on weekdays.

It's Mei Niang, if there is no important matter, it will not be good to come to Su Jin often in the future.

But if Su Jin had this token in his hand, he wouldn't believe that the Luo family was not afraid at all.

Su Jin's heart warmed, Mei Niang said this, and she couldn't refuse anymore, so she smiled and nodded and accepted it.

Horizontally and vertically, as a last resort, she will not use it.

In the barracks, the annual competition finally kicked off.

Last year, General Zheng ordered the barracks to be cleaned up, and a large number of veterans and weak soldiers who were old or sick and weak were cleaned up, so as to replenish fresh blood to the ranks. There were a lot of changes, a number of positions were vacant, and new people needed to be re-established, which required the promotion of countless leaders, large and small.

This year's competition has naturally become particularly lively and intense.

Qin Lang quickly stood out among them, although he was actually very low-key, he still attracted a lot of attention.

He was third among the 100 recruits who won in the end.

In fact, according to his true skills, not to mention taking the first place among the recruits, even if the new and old soldiers compare together, if nothing else, he can be in the top three, or it is not surprising that he can win the first place.

It's just that the daughter-in-law has a lot of advice, don't be too prominent, let others take the first and second rankings, and he can take the third at most.

What's the benefit of this, it usually won't be left behind, but it's not eye-catching.

After all, who doesn't pay attention to the first, part of the attention to the second, how many eyes will fall on the third place?

These 100 recruits can all become captains.

Du Wei is the lowest management rank in the Daqing Army, and a Du Wei is in charge of fifty ordinary soldiers, and the size is also considered an official.

For the recruits, they just arrived last year, and this year they can have a hundred lieutenant places, which is already a very good treatment, although the total number of recruits is 40,000, and the competition is quite fierce.

Rao is so, the veterans already have a lot of opinions.

Duan Fu naturally knew that Mrs. Qin's husband's name was Qin Lang, and he was under his jurisdiction in the Western Daying.

After reading the list of lieutenants in the newspaper and seeing Qin Lang ranked third, Duan Fu was a little surprised, but he was quickly relieved.

That Mrs. Qin looked like a smart and resolute woman, she was willing to leave her family property and follow her husband all the way to this Wushui City, which showed that the man must be worthy of her follow.

Those who can be worthy of her and make her worthy of following will naturally not be mediocre.

Not to mention the third, even if this recruit named Qin Lang took the first place, he didn't feel strange at all.

Duan Fu wanted to sell Qin Lang a good one, and as soon as his mind moved, he proposed to General Zheng that it would be better for the top three recruits to be awarded the position of Seven-Rank Captain? There are also outstanding talents among the recruits, and the top three are the best among them, even if they are awarded the seventh rank captain, they should be awarded.

Zheng Guanqing thinks this is a good idea, and he must have the ability to stand out from the 40,000 recruits and rank in the top three. Promoting three seventh-grade lieutenants is actually quite good.

Some of the adjutant generals and staff generals are in favor and some are against, all noisy and noisy, and finally Zheng Guanqing made a decision, the top five in the recruit competition are qualified to compete for the post of seven-rank captain, and the veterans of the lieutenant and below can challenge them three times, if any of them can win, they will be the seven-rank captain, if not, they will naturally not be qualified.

As soon as these words were announced, they exploded.

The veterans are even more indignant, and they want to choose the most powerful challenge on stage, can't they knock down a single recruit at three chances?

The top five recruits are all on fire and their hearts are beating wildly.

The captain is just a small leader, but the seven-rank captain is different, this is a grade, which is equivalent to stepping into the officialdom with one foot, and there is a fortune from the imperial court.

Qin Lang was also excited, and he was bound to win.

It's not that he is greedy for positions or money, but his daughter-in-law earns a lot of money.

As long as you become a seven-rank captain, as long as you register, you can enter and leave the barracks at will, and there are a few days off every month, and you can go back to spend the night with your daughter-in-law......
