Xu Lan returned to the house, and Mrs. Xu, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard, saw him and said, "Have you been to the guard?" ”

He nodded, slowly walked down the stone steps, stopped in front of her, held a pot and watered a peony, and said, "Mother also knows about the Ling family, right?" ”

Mrs. Xu looked at him: "Still don't let go?" ”

Xu Lan put the pot down and said, "I believe in my own feelings, she won't be that kind of person." ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said in a rambling voice: "It's not impossible to fight for it, but it must be done in moderation." ”

Xu Lan looked at his mother: "Give me some more time, I really can't get it, I know what to do." ”

Mrs. Xu gently patted him on the arm: "It's good to know." ”

Seeing him go back to the room, the grandmother holding the handkerchief next to him walked up: "Mrs. is so open-minded, uncle will not take a detour." ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and picked up the pot again: "I have lived to my age, and I have seen too many precedents of mother-son falling out of control because of differences of opinion on the marriage of children, can I not know my own son?"

"Instead of pressing him, it is better to think for him from his point of view. Only when everyone gives in can the family be harmonious. When you are in harmony, you can twist it into a rope to unite with the outside world. ”

Speaking of this, she looked at the water curtain poured out of the flower pot, and her eyebrows, which had always been open, suddenly floated a little worried.

"Madame, take care of your shoes!"

Mama saw the water spilling out of the pot and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the spout.

Mrs. Xu stabilized the body of the pot and asked her, "When the master enters Beijing, he will return to the former military camp soon, right?" ”

……

Ling Yuan didn't take half an hour to get Xu Lan's information from the guards.

"Xu Yao's wife's surname is Chen, and she is the younger sister of Chen Wan, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy.

"A while ago, Xu Yao was ordered to enter Beijing for the purpose of defending Liaodong. It is estimated that Xu Yao is going to be transferred to Liaodong.

"Mrs. Xu is also by Xu Lan's side now, but the intention of this time is not clear."

Ling Yuan was speechless when he heard this.

Guo Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Before we left Beijing, the emperor seemed to have mentioned the transfer of the heads of the five armies. ”

Ling Yuan snorted this time.

It is a common thing for the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to transfer troops except for the curtain soldiers, and it has been five years since the last large-scale deployment.

But this time, Ling Yuan heard little movement, so it could be seen that it would not be a big move.

"In addition, the news that the second master has entered the ministry to observe the government has come down, although I have not yet received the exact news from the house, but yesterday my subordinates went to the government to do an errand, but I heard the news.

"The subordinates feel that the wife let the second master enter the office at the beginning of the year, which may not be considered rash. At least some of the messages sound more convenient than outsiders. ”

Guo Jiao pondered his words.

Ling Song had a good ranking in the examination at the beginning of the year, and had the opportunity to squeeze into the Hanlin Academy, but Mrs. Ling insisted on letting Ling Song enter the office. The mother and son also had a small argument at that time.

Ling Yuan still didn't express an opinion. Seeing that the guards outside the door came in again, and vaguely saw Changying's figure moving outside, he got up and said, "Let's go." ”

Changying took the matters listed by Xu Lan and looked at them, they were clear and concise, and they were really the focus of the official document she had been pondering recently.

Although she has read a lot of books in the Ling family, she can be regarded as the leader in writing articles, and she can still do things in the barracks, but after all, there are more words on paper than in practice.

Without experience, it is impossible to compare with these experienced generals, and if Ling Yuan looks back and asks about it, he may not be able to be foolproof.

She still didn't know what Ling Yuan thought of the truth she said, but he was silent all the way to the dock, so she naturally could only forget about those personal matters and go all out to be her General Shen.

"Go and prepare a boat, go to the dock first, and then go out and look at the river."

Lord Qincha spoke, and Changying immediately summoned his subordinates to prepare the ship, and then accompanied him into the dock.

The keel has not yet shown a scale, Changying accompanied by two circles, and also told the current progress from the side, Zhou Liang came to report in time, saying that the timber yard had two accounts, she invited General Li to accompany her, and then took the opportunity to slip away.

Ling Yuan watched coldly as she ran away, and then went down.

Shaoqing is not there, and in recent days, Zhou Liang and Huang Ji have led people to take care of his errands.

When Changying arrived at the place, Zhou Liang came over with a stack of sheets and said: "We have a batch of timber to be transported to the dock tonight. ”

Changying took the list and looked at it, there were as many as three ships.

Then he said: "Where did the merchant ships dare to rob our docks?" ”

Zhou Liang looked to the side before he said to her: "The boss doesn't know, we only found out about the situation recently."

"The Cao Yun Division, including the Sailor Battalion, has been guarding the wharf for many years, but all merchant ships crossing the river have to hand over a copy in private, except for the necessary public accounts.

"This money is not necessarily handed over to a fixed person, it is usually a river transport customs dish that depends on whose path the merchant ship takes.

"After that, the person in charge of the affairs will take a cut every time the ship passes, and almost all of the supervision and supervision of the Cao Transportation Department have this income."

Changying frowned: "Then who does this boat belong to today?" ”

Zhou Liang said: "Liu Wei! ”

After hearing this, Changying couldn't help but straighten her waist.

After Huo Rong exposed the theft case with great fanfare, Wu Li and Liu Weijun were still in office.

I didn't expect this matter to be over, Qian Yun hasn't come back yet, this Liu Wei is not only not low-key, but also dares to openly cut the queue to seize the dock of Nankangwei?

Did he see that he would be safe and sound, and he was about to come out of the moth?

"Send some people over to guard the dock, as soon as Shen Zheng arrives, no one is allowed to dock except our ship!"

Not far away, Su Xinrong, who was calling people to load wood, threw a few glances here.

…… It has been eight or nine days since Huo Rong forced Qian Yun to go back to Huai'an to discuss the law, and although Huo Rong has not made any moves these days, including Nan Kangwei.

But Cao Yunsi's side was somewhat shocked, Wang Zhao and Feng Liang are still in custody, especially the imperial court sent Wu Ninghou to sit in charge, which can no longer make people blatantly commit adultery.

Wu Lin has been waiting for the results of Huai'an with anxiety recently, and he knows the right and wrong, but he can't bear to abandon the pawn to protect the handsome.

Liu Wei was very calm, originally he didn't expect Huo Rong to control the situation with lightning speed, but as time passed, that little worry had already been pressed.

"My lord, someone in Nankangwei has guarded the dock with soldiers and horses, it is Xu Lan's men, look at the posture should be unconvinced, let's cut the queue!"

There are not many affairs in the yamen, and it is not yet the season to urge grain, but most of them can be used to calculate the oil and water at hand.

Here, as soon as he finished calculating the filial piety that was about to be credited to the account, the people below came in and said.
