Chapter 698: Year of the Regiment

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao couldn't have imagined that the Pingnan Army would have such an inside story. They all have subordinates, and they have all carefully investigated the situation of the Pingnan Army, but if it weren't for the Zheng family, they wouldn't know at all!

No wonder that Lu Zhang was so easy to "get sick", and let Xiao Xiao get to the control of the Pingnan Army so easily, it turned out that they were waiting here!

Whether it is Deng Minchang or Lu Zhang, if they continue to be the leaders of the Pingnan Army, won't they have to help them find a way to raise food and wages? That's not all, the IOUs written by Lu Zhang will also be returned to Xiao Xiao at that time, no matter how big the hole is, the tall man can hold it, and those of them who have made enough benefits from the middle can shrink their necks and watch the show at any time.

Xiao Xiao has always been a resourceful person, and he has always been the only one who calculates others, but now he has been calculated by others, and he really has a feeling of crying and laughing in his heart.

"It's really a gourd scoop." Qin Yining shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What are these people thinking in their heads?" If they have the leisure to calculate their colleagues, but they do not have the time to do some practical things for the people, if they devote half of their calculating minds to serious things, there will not be so many hungry people outside. ”

Zheng patted Qin Yining's shoulder soothingly, and said with a smile: "Isn't this human nature, they are just driven by interests by doing this." If it's not profitable, who will act? As for doing things for the people, they don't care. ”

Zheng is telling the truth. But listening to such a truth in the ears can really make people feel powerless.

All three of them fell silent. After a long time, he said, "I know, grandmother." It's just that I'm in it now. ”

Zheng sighed: "It's all because I was locked up and delayed so much." ”

"Where can I blame you for this? You were also involved for me and Sister Yi'er. Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I'm not the kind of soft persimmon that allows people to pinch and frustrate, and if they want to make things difficult for me with such a small thing, then they are wrong. ”

Qin Yining sorted out his mood, nodded with a smile and said: "That's the truth, anyway, it's not the first time we've encountered this situation, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I'm afraid of something." The Pingnan Army can firmly grasp it in its hands and use it at critical moments, which is the biggest benefit. The rest can be solved by thought. ”

Zheng saw that Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining were very cheerful, without the slightest haze, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: Being young is good, I think when she was young, all the big and small affairs in the Guogong Mansion were handed over to her to manage, and she didn't feel how it was at the beginning, it seemed that no matter how many things she had, she wouldn't worry too much here, but she just considered it comprehensively, and solved the same thing when she encountered it.

It seems that she is really old enough to be like this, why is she starting to worry when she encounters something now?

Especially this time, she originally took the initiative to go out of the mountain to help Qin Yining, who would have thought that she didn't help, but folded herself in, almost losing her life, and finally asked Qin Yining to go to great lengths to save her.

It didn't help, but it added to the chaos.

It seems that this era already belongs to the younger generation.

Zheng's heart was full of emotion, and he had already made up his mind to retreat.

"I'm getting older, and my mind isn't as clear as before, and this time I'm out of the mountains is also a big delure. Sister Yi'er, in the future, I plan to live at home with peace of mind. ”

Qin Yining was stunned when she heard this, worried that her grandmother was frustrated because she didn't do anything, so she wanted to persuade her.

Zheng Shi saw her thoughts, smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to say much. I know your heart. It's just that I'm really tired. ”

Zheng's gaze fell on Xiao Xiao's handsome face, and he smiled: "What's more, now that you have such a support, I can rest assured." At first, I was worried that you would be wronged because of the grievances of the previous generation, but now it seems that I am too worried. Since you all have your own lives, and you all have your own support and companionship, no matter how difficult the future is, there are people who support each other to accompany you, and I, an old woman, can let go of my burden and live with peace of mind. ”

Zheng's eyes looked at Xiao Xiao, but the words were said to Qin Yining, and they were also said to the Sun family, who was far away in the sky.

Qin Yining listened to her grandmother's emotion, and she actually felt a little sad in the twilight of a hero.

Zheng thought about it and didn't care much, and said, "I don't have any subordinates like the Qingtian Alliance in my hands now, but I also manage some contacts and forces. Just like the Blue Sky Alliance back then, they all have some interests with each other, and I will hand them over to you when I turn around, you can use them for your use, but you must also be careful not to be hurt by the backlash. ”

"Grandmother, I ......"

"Don't say no." Zheng smiled and patted Qin Yining's shoulder and said, "There is no harm in having more manpower. I know that with your abilities, you can harness these people. You just send them on weekdays, and when they have a problem, you help them solve them, and you come and go, and after a long time, you will be like those under you. ”

Seeing that the Zheng family insisted on this, Qin Yining sighed softly and nodded.

I owe too much love, so I can only repay it slowly.

After all, Zheng is old, she has suffered in prison, and her body can't bear it, and after saying everything she should say and explain, she is a little mentally weak.

Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao retreated, and regardless of whether it was Chinese New Year's Eve or not, they just didn't disturb the Zheng family and let her rest well.

When Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining returned to the bedroom, the nurses were taking a walk in the house with their two brothers in their arms.

When he saw his son, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and leaned over to hug Brother Zhao, who was wearing a tiger hat.

"Hey, let me see if our brother Zhao is heavy? Brother Zhao, do you know your father anymore? ”

Brother Zhao'er's big black grape-like eyes stared blankly at Xiao Xiao, and then he stretched out his small hand to Qin Yining on the side, waving his arm and twisting his body, obviously not wanting to stay in Xiao Xiao's arm, and insisted on looking for Qin Yining.

Xiao Xiao was sad and helpless, he was forced to go out, and his own son didn't know him anymore?

"Brother Zhao, Daddy is here." Xiao Xiao kissed Brother Zhao'er, and the chin of the slight stubble was prickly, and Brother Zhao cried as soon as he wowed.

The nurse was not scared, for fear that the prince would blame, and wanted to take the child but did not dare to take it, but Brother Han listened to the cry, and he also grinned and cried, and the nurse immediately rushed.

Qin Yining hurriedly took Brother Zhao over, humming a familiar tune in his mouth, but Brother Zhao stopped crying between breaths. nestled on Qin Yining's shoulder, with two bubbles of tears and snot, he grabbed Qin Yining's hair aggrievedly.

Xiao Xiao sighed helplessly, and said aggrievedly: "Does my son not know me anymore?" ”

Qin Yining was amused by his tone, "How big is it, do you still care about this?" The children are still young, you are unkempt, and you haven't been at home for so long, and there are children who recognize life. If you spend more time with your children in the future, they will naturally be close to you. ”

"That's what I said, but I'm still not happy." If it weren't for so many bad things in the court, it would be difficult for him to ride a tiger, and he would not have been so troubled that his son would not know him.

Xiao Xiao was not really angry, Qin Yining naturally knew it, but the nurses didn't understand, and they were already so frightened that they turned pale and didn't dare to move.

Seeing them like this, Qin Yining asked them to continue to take the two children, and dragged them to the bedroom to change clothes and wash themselves.

The maidservant had already prepared hot water in the back cover room for the owl to bathe. Qin Yining took off his outer robe, only wore his middle coat, rolled up his sleeves to reveal a white elbow, and stood outside the mist-filled wooden barrel to help Xiao Xiao wash his hair and wipe his back.

The sound of the water was sultry, and Qin Yining's voice was softer in the foggy bathroom.

Xiao Xiao was a little smoky, his tired nerves suddenly relaxed, and he was also a little drowsy.

Qin Yining knew that he was tired, so he gradually stopped talking, and helped the owl scrub with gentle movements in his hands, and he didn't care when he was tired and sweating. When he had washed everything he could, and when he saw that he was asleep, he was reluctant to wake him up, so he stayed by and heated the water in the barrel from time to time.

In fact, he didn't sleep for long, and the sound of firecrackers was already heard outside.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, many families have already had dinner and started to set off artillery to celebrate.

Xiao Xiao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and saw that Qin Yining was still sitting aside, using a wooden spoon to help him add hot water, for fear that he would be frozen, and his heart was already soft.

"Sister Yi'er."

"Woke up? They prepared the meal. Let's go to dinner, you can go back to bed and get some sleep. ”

"Okay." Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded, and stood up with a grin.

Qin Yining's face turned red, and he hurriedly got up and went out.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, and after scrubbing neatly, he changed into clean clothes, and went out to have a New Year's dinner with Qin Yining with his half-dried hair.

Qin Yining didn't ask when he would go back to the barracks, he asked this, but he still had to leave when he should go, but he only felt sad. As long as he knows that he doesn't leave today, their family can be reunited, it is enough.

A few are happy and a few are sad.

Just when Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao were celebrating the New Year with the Zheng family together, Yu Chiyan and Gu Shixiong were trying their best to contact the Sitong number.

In the past, they didn't have to work hard, and the people with the Sitong number would take the initiative to come to the door. Now they want to see each other, only to find that the other party is very mysterious, and it is difficult for them to find it.

Gu Shixiong's heart was anxious, and it was only two days before a string of bubbles appeared at the corners of his mouth.

It was easy to reach the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and he contacted Mr. Liu, the accountant who had been in contact with them.

Gu Shixiong hurriedly told Yu Chiyan that he had to prepare a table of wine and food. Immediately, Mr. Liu was invited to have a light meal in the afternoon of the same day, and the place was in the palace of the old capital where Yu Chiyan lived.

Mr. Liu looks like he is in his early forties, with good facial features and an elegant temperament, and he doesn't look like a long house, but like a teacher.

Entering the palace of the old capital, Mr. Liu did not have the slightest curiosity for the first time, but smiled elegantly and decently, and greeted Gu Shixiong and Wei Chiyan.
