Chapter 722: Far Away (Part II)
When Xu Lingyi and the others entered, Xu Sijin was sitting next to Mrs. Tai, talking to Mrs. Tai in her ear, Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded, looking very approving. The atmosphere is harmonious and warm, where there is still a little bit of tension just now.
Seeing them come in, Mrs. Tai smiled gradually, gently pulled Xu Sijin's sleeve, and signaled that someone was coming, don't say anything more.
Xu Si hurriedly stopped the topic, smiled and stepped forward with Brother Xu, Brother Cheng to salute Xu Lingyi and the others.
Everyone sat down in priority and priority.
The maids served tea.
Mrs. Tai asked Eleven Niang: "Brother Jin'er's clothes have all been packed?" It was clearly relieved.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, or surprised, or funny, or glanced at Xu Sijin helplessly.
Everything was packed up, and according to Xu Lingyi's instructions, the maid didn't bring any of them, and all the utensils and tin were left, even the clothes that were usually changed and washed, and they were all coarse cloth shirts: "...... Don't forget, he went to the guard as a commoner, and the details can't be revealed. For this reason, Eleven Niang also specially asked Qiu Ju to help her go to the market to buy a few short browns.
But he couldn't say this to Mrs. Tai.
If Mrs. Tai suddenly wanted to see Xu Sijin's cage, wouldn't there be another turmoil?
"Cleaning up." Eleven Niang left a step, "I can clean it up in two days." ”
"There are some things that money can't buy. Servant girl...... Ah Jin and Cherry just go with them, and bring a few more capable mothers-in-law...... Bring Master Pang with him, he is very skilled, and if he encounters someone like Chen Bozhi who is not long-sighted, he will not be able to boast ......"
Eleven Niang smiled and said "yes".
Mrs. Tai said to Xu Lingkuan again, "I remember that you are very good with someone from the Ministry of Officials, you will go to say hello tomorrow and ask him to talk to Guizhou Buzheng, and when the time comes, we will also go to recognize the door." The mountains are high and the road is far away, and when it is inconvenient, there is also a person to discuss. ”
The fourth brother is familiar with the people in the official department and the military department, and he didn't ask the fourth brother, but he asked about me.
Xu Lingyi muttered in his heart, glanced at Xu Lingyi, who looked a little embarrassed, and said with a busy smile: "It's a matter of the ministry." I'll go early tomorrow morning. ”
Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes fell on Yingniang's body.
"Haven't you moved yet?" Mrs. Tai was a little worried, "What did Wen Po say?" ”
"It's normal to say it's the first child, a little earlier, a little later." Eleven Niang said with a smile.
Mrs. Tai asked about Xiang again...... From beginning to end, he didn't look at Xu Lingyi.
The fifth lady returned home and bent over with a smile: "The fourth uncle is so big, I'm afraid he has never been so embarrassed!" ”
"What nonsense to talk about in front of the child?" Xu Lingkuan couldn't laugh himself, looking at Brother Xu'er and Brother Cheng'er, he had to teach the fifth lady a lesson with a straight face.
"It's me, it's not right!" The fifth lady apologized, but there was no sincerity, and pulled her two sons to her side with a smile, "What did Brother Jin say to your grandmother?" Why did your grandmother change her mind right away? ”
Brother Cheng hurriedly said: "Sixth brother said that he was going to Guizhou to find gold mines or do medicinal materials business, but he didn't have any money in his hand. If you decide what to do, ask your grandmother to give him some money, and when he makes money, give your grandmother a gold face. When the grandmother heard this, she was delighted. He also quietly asked the sixth brother how much silver he wanted, and if it wasn't enough, there were gold bars. ”
Xu Lingyi couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.
This brother will really make the old lady happy!
The fifth lady felt sour in her heart, and couldn't help but glance at Brother Xu.
Brother Cheng is young and can't be compared, but Brother Cheng is only one year old, and compared to other people's children, he can be regarded as smart and smart, how can he compare with Brother Jin'er, he is less clever!
Brother Xu'er misunderstood what his mother meant, thinking that he was asking him if what Brother Cheng said was true.
"Mother, don't listen to my brother's nonsense." He said with a smile, "Grandmother is happy, it was the sixth brother who said that the reason why the fourth uncle agreed to him to go to Guizhou is because there are barbarians in Guizhou and he is good at making military achievements." At the beginning, the fourth uncle fought Miao Yi in Huguang and made immortal achievements. Then he said that he was going to Guizhou to find gold mines and do a medicinal herb business. ”
can find a gold mine, with Xu Lingyi's ability, it is not a matter of a sentence to turn it into a private mine, it is a business without capital, and it doesn't make a lot of money! I can't find a gold mine, do a medicinal material business, have the protection of the Guizhou General Army, and if nothing else, even if the money can be saved by the inspection department all the way, it is not a small amount......
Thinking of this, after sending the child to wash, the fifth lady asked Xu Lingkuan: "Fifth master, you said, is it good to let Brother Xu'er go out too?" ”
"Brother Xu'er is still too young!" Xu Lingkuan shook his head, "What's more, he can attack my post, and our family is not short of food and clothing, so why let him run down to suffer." If you want to go, let Brother Cheng go! He said with a smile, "When our brother Cheng grows up, Brother Jin may have become the climate, and then go directly to him." ”
The fifth lady couldn't help frowning.
Brother Cheng is shy, timid and small, and ...... How can that work!
"Instead of relying on Brother Jin'er, it's better to rely on Brother Xu'er." She muttered, "Brother Cheng and Brother Xu'er are the same mother after all!" ”
Xu Lingkuan didn't like to hear this. His face was slightly gloomy: "The fourth brother is still in charge of the family!" ”
The tree can be branched out and divided into families. It's human nature.
The fifth lady wanted to say something, but a little maid hurriedly ran in: "Fifth lady, the fifth young grandmother, it's a seizure!" ”
"Ahh The fifth lady was very surprised, "At this time! She glanced at Xu Lingkuan, "I'll go over and take a look!" ”
Xu Lingkuan coughed lightly twice.
The fifth lady changed her clothes and went to Yingniang surrounded by maids.
Nongxiangyuan was brightly lit, Eleven Niang and Jiang had already arrived, accompanied by Xu Sijie sitting in the hall, the maid and the mother-in-law boiled water, and prepared the baby clothes and quilts to prepare the clothes and baggage, people came and went, but they were not flustered.
Seeing the fifth lady coming in, Xu Sijie stood up and shouted "Fifth Auntie".
The fifth lady nodded and asked Eleven Niang, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's just getting started." Eleventh Niang invited the fifth lady to sit down on the Taishi chair on the side, "It's still early!" ”
As he spoke, Xu Sijie stretched his neck and looked into the inner room.
Eleven Niang looked funny: "I won't give birth tonight." Find a place to rest! Here we are. ”
Xu Si, who had never violated Shi Niang's commandment, naturally didn't dare to stay longer, but he was worried about Yingniang in his heart, so he stood under the eaves and waited.
Xiang had just rested, and when he heard the news, he got up again, and was helped by the maid, just in time to see Xu Sijie wandering under the eaves, and couldn't help shouting "Fifth Uncle" in surprise.
Xu Sijie hurriedly explained: "Mother and the fifth aunt are in the hall, so I will wait here." ”
Both of them are very good to their wives.
"It's chilling outside." Xiang smiled and invited him into the house, "so as not to suffer the cold." ”
Xu Sijie didn't dare to go in: "I'll just put on a coat." ”
Eleven Niang heard the movement and couldn't help laughing.
But he was negligent.
Let Amber call Xu Sijie in: "Look at Yingniang like this, it's good to be born tomorrow night." I'm afraid that if you keep guarding like this, you won't be able to support it when it comes to the critical moment...... If you want to guard her, keep it here! ”
Xu Sijie smiled embarrassedly, and was about to say something, when Yingniang's low *** voice came from the inner room. His expression tightened, and he ran to the door curtain and shouted to Yingniang: "I, I'm ...... outside" very anxious.
Everyone laughed.
Eleven Niang comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay." Wen Po just came out and said that Yingniang's situation is very good. ”
Xu Si smiled sheepishly.
A little maid came in: "Master Hou sent someone over to ask how the fifth young grandmother is?" ”
"It's good." Eleven Niang smiled, "Let Master Hou not worry, it is estimated that he will be born tomorrow." ”
The little maid left in response and greeted Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi thought that Eleven Niang might not be able to come back tonight, so she went to Xu Sijin.
Xu Sijin practiced calligraphy under the lamp.
After saluting, Xu Lingyi sat on the kang opposite him and picked up the words he practiced.
Neat and meticulous.
Xu Lingyi bowed his head slightly, and whispered to him: "Gong Dongning is eleven years older than me, you go, just call him uncle." He seems to be short-tempered, reckless and has no rules, but in fact he is a rough and fine person, you deal with him, don't judge people by their appearance. I have already made an agreement with him to arrange for you to be in the Pingyi Thousand Households in Pu'anwei. It originally belonged to the Sichuan Metropolitan Division, and later changed to the Guizhou Metropolitan Division. Barbarians are the majority, and they are also poor. You switch there as a regular soldier. After I went, I saw more, thought more, and did more, and tried to solve it by myself if there was anything. As he spoke, he said with a smile, "Of course, if you can't stand it, you can write back, and our agreement will be canceled." You can also find a way to make a name for yourself early, so that if you win the bet, you can move to a better place. ”
"Daddy, you don't have to provoke me," Xu Sijin clenched his fists, "I will definitely win." ”
Xu Lingyi looked at him full of confidence, and couldn't help touching his head: "Stinky boy!" ”
Xu Sijin grinned and said, "Then Chang'an, they ...... Come with me or not? ”
"You can go or you can't go." Xu Lingyi pointed out and said, "Manager Bai is the person who has served by my side since I was a child. Later, when I was away with the troops, I entrusted him with all the affairs of the family. When you go to Guizhou this time, how to arrange things in your house, you can make your own decisions! If it's settled, tell me, the person who goes with you, I'll get him a military membership, and if he has military merits with you in the future, he can also have a future for himself. ”
Xu Sijin's eyes lit up,
With a military membership, you can stand in the guard. If there is any military merit and luck, it is also possible to get a hereditary thousand households.
His father has good intentions for him.
He looked at Xu Lingyi seriously and nodded.
The next day, I called in a few of the little guys around me.
"Daddy has already made arrangements, I will go to the Pu'anwei Pingyi Institute in Guizhou, as an ordinary military household, it is inconvenient to take you there. You just stay in Yanjing! ”
"Sixth Young Master, how can that work!" Sui Feng immediately shouted, "Listen to this name, it is a place of mountains and ravines." You're there alone, and there's no one to serve tea and pour water, so what's going on? Why don't we talk to the fourth lady? ”
