Sima Hongyan was extremely confident when she heard Shi Jinyan's tone, so she asked, "What does the poetry girl think we should do first?" ”

Shi Jinyan smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, I'm looking for a capable helper!" Do you still want to do this alone? ”

Sima Hongyan was shocked, but she didn't expect that what she said was exactly the same as what Yan Hong said. But her face did not change at all, and she asked again: "Then Miss Shi thinks she needs a few helpers?" ”

Shi Jinyan's eyes blinked a few times, as if she thought for a while, before she said: "If the number of soldiers in the first batch is about three or four hundred, then there must be at least four people." If you are bold, the first batch of soldiers is about six hundred, then five will also do. ”

It's almost the same as what Yan Hong said yesterday! Sima Hongyan was a little impressed by Shi Jinyan, but she didn't expect her to even understand this.

Couldn't help but be curious, Sima Hongyan asked, "How did you figure these out?" ”

Shi Jinyan said: "Among the books I am familiar with, there are a few military books, these are just some approximate military configurations, and there is nothing unusual. ”

"Haha!" Sima Hongyan suddenly laughed and jumped up from his chair.

This kind of startled move, Shi Jinyan is obviously not very adaptable. However, her upbringing is really good, her body is only slightly shocked, and the expression on her face has not changed for half a minute, and she still looks flat.

The slight flash of distraction in Shi Jinyan's eyes did not escape Sima Hongyan's eyes, but she still had the kind of demeanor that Taishan collapsed in front of her and her face did not change, and she had to admire this cultivation kung fu in her heart, but I am afraid that it is really not possible to pretend.

Sima Hongyan changed the tricky expression just now, stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner, and said with a smile: "I deliberately embarrassed you just now, please don't be surprised." Your appearance is too deceptive, so I had to test it. You're welcome to join us! Poetry girl. ”

Shi Jinyan was very surprised, but when she saw Sima Hongyan's sincere eyes, she understood everything. smiled and stretched out his right hand and shook it with Sima Hongyan. Ban Lingruo stepped forward and shook the hands of the two of them again.

Sima Hongyan said happily: "Congratulations to our team for having another talented woman. Poet girl, don't leave at noon, eat at my place, I'll please! ”

Qinghan felt that the way the young lady expressed her happiness was to invite guests to dinner, and the degree of happiness depended on how many dishes she cooked and what level of wine she wanted. Today seems to be the best time to cook the most dishes and the best sake to ask for. Just to feast on this seemingly gentle Miss Shi. Qing Han thought secretly: "It seems that these Nine Emperor Princes have never received this kind of treatment!" ”

What surprised Sima Hongyan again was that Shi Jinyan could not only drink, but also be very good at drinking. She couldn't guess where this civil official girl learned her drinking skills. Later, Shi Jinyan actually told her that she also learned from reading books.

After eating, Sima Hongyan asked Ban Lingruo to show Shi Jinyan the contents that she had sorted out with Yan Hong yesterday. Shi Jinyan looked at it very seriously, but it was also very fast, and she not only finished reading it, but also pointed out some things that could be improved. Sima Hongyan was already convinced at this time that he had got a baby!

Since everyone agrees to find a helper as the first step, it is natural to consider what kind of helper to find. Now in addition to Sima Hongyan, there are poems and poems in the text, and there are Ban Lingruo in the martial arts. But this is obviously not enough, if you follow Sima Hongyan's vision of the female army, you have to find two people with special talents.

Shi Jinyan's advice is that you can find it from the rivers and lakes. Her reason is that the girls in the official eunuch's house don't know much, especially the way to deal with emergencies, which is far less quick and has more ways than the people in the rivers and lakes. Even a lot of crooked things have a miraculous effect.

Sima Hongyan greatly agreed with this method, and her opinion was: The master is still in the people!

Sima Hongyan let Shi Jinyan have dinner at the house before she was willing to let her go back.

After getting along on this day, they got along with each other quite well. However, Sima Hongyan is not very accustomed to Shi Jinyan's excellent upbringing, and Shi Jinyan is not very accustomed to Sima Hongyan's casual habits. After talking about business, Shi Jinyan said to leave, and Sima Hongyan didn't stay.

Walking to the gate, Shi Jinyan looked around. He asked, "Are there any other courtyards around here where no one lives?" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "What? Do you want to move over too? ”

Shi Jinyan said: "It takes me more than an hour to get home by car, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and I don't do a lot of things. I think it would be easier to move to a nearby area. ”

Ban Lingruo smiled and pointed to a compound opposite Sima Mansion and said, "There." Although it's not as big as my sister's house, it's the size of my Hongling Villa, so if you think it's okay, I'll help you ask tomorrow. ”

Shi Jinyan glanced at it twice and said, "That's it, then I'll trouble the class girl tomorrow." If there is news, just send someone to my house to deliver a message. ”

The next day, Ban Lingruo sent someone early in the morning to ask about the courtyard opposite Sima Mansion. Fortunately, the east of the city is already sparsely populated, and the courtyard has been abandoned for a long time. As soon as he heard that someone wanted to buy it, the owner of the yard asked for a very low price and sold it to Ban Lingruo. As soon as Ban Ling was happy, she directly handed over the money for Shi Jinyan, and then immediately sent someone to inform Shi Jinyan.

Shi Jinyan is also very efficient, Ban Lingruo just informed her, in the afternoon she sent the craftsmen who cleaned up the house, and the craftsmen worked in shifts for several days, and soon the dilapidated courtyard took on a new look.

According to Ban Lingruo, Shi Jinyan will move over if she picks a good day. After hearing this, Sima Hongyan wondered: "Seeing that she is quite shrewd, why is she so superstitious?" Later, she pondered for a while, and said, "She must have read Feng Shui books and learned them!" ”

On the day Shi Jinyan moved in, Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo both went out to greet her. This mighty moving team really shocked Sima Hongyan.

How many cars is that? Sima Hongyan wanted to count them, but after a glance at the tailless convoy, she dispelled this idea.

It took two days to pack up these things before they were all put in place. When Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo went to see it, Sima Hongyan kept wondering where so many things were stuffed?

After cleaning up, Shi Jinyan hung a plaque on the door of the mansion, which read: "Yan Yuxuan".

This time, Shi Jinyan moved in and didn't have any banquet with Sima Hongyan and them, and this matter passed like this very plainly. Sima Hongyan also asked Ban Lingruo: "Doesn't she have to live in stability when she moves?" Ban Lingruo didn't know what a stable residence was, and Sima Hongyan didn't explain it again.

Now that the three of them have moved together, it is much easier to plan things. Even Shi Jinyan was fooled by Sima Hongyan and learned yoga together.

Don't look at Shi Jinyan, who can't martial arts, but learning yoga is simply a talent. The movements that were demonstrated once were standardized and standard, and the time spent practicing every day later even exceeded that of Sima Hongyan and Ban Lingruo.

On this day, the three of them talked about finding helpers again. Suddenly, Ban Lingruo seemed to think of something, and said: "I remember that in a few days, it seems to be a day for the rivers and lakes to worship the mountains and change posts, should we go and see?" ”

Sima Hongyan said curiously: "What is a mountain worship post?" ”

In Yanling, there is a meeting on the rivers and lakes every year to worship the mountain and change posts. At first, it was not a formal conference, but a gathering of several famous sects on the rivers and lakes gathered together and the heads of various sects exchanged names. The purpose is to get to know each other and know who is the head of which sect. Later, as the rivers and lakes became more and more prosperous, the number of sects gradually increased, and they unknowingly made this party bigger and bigger.

Up to now, when it comes to worshipping the mountain and changing posts, the participating sects have grown from the original dozen to nearly 100 now. Among them, there are twenty or thirty famous sects, and there are also thirty or forty second-rate sects.

And it's not just as simple as the head changing posts, many young talents, up-and-coming figures in the rivers and lakes, will also take advantage of this to improve their popularity.

The Yanling royal family has always had close ties with the Jianghu sect, and even many military attachés and generals were born in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, every year at the mountain worship and post exchange conference, the royal family will also send people to participate.

Shi Jinyan felt strange and asked, "Why does the royal family have a connection with the rivers and lakes?" Shouldn't the imperial court and the recklessness be hostile to each other? ”
