Chapter 698: Longing (Part II)

Jiaxing County Commander died in office due to illness, and Xiushui County Commander was promoted to Taicang Prefecture, "It's a pity that the revitalization is Yuhang people, and I still regret the revitalization." Unexpectedly, Huguang played and asked to set up Hecang Fort as Jiahe County. ..., Xu Lingyi picked up the teacup and took a sip, "This can be regarded as a lost mulberry and a harvest." ”。

On the second day of the first month of June, Luo Zhenxing, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received a document from the Ministry of Officials and supplemented the county order of Jiahe County, Huguang. He will be in office by June 20. That night, Xu Lingyi hosted a banquet for Luo Zhenxing and saw him off.

"I still have to thank Master Xiang for this matter." Luo Zhenxing smiled implicitly, "If it weren't for Lord Xiang writing a letter to Lord Hou, I would have fought for the magistrate of Ningzhou." When the time comes, it's one thing to fight for it, and it may offend the elder of Liangge. The same is Xiao County, Lord Cai Xiang and Lord Wang are here, and I don't know how much stronger than Ningzhou. …”

This sentence sounds awkward, but in fact, in March, "the Ministry of Officials vacated the county orders of Jiaxing and Xiushui, two wealthy counties, because the revitalization is a Yuhang person, and they cannot be officials by the same means, so they have lost the qualification to fill the vacancy." At the end of April, "Ningzhou County Commander was transferred to Anyi County Commander, and Liang Ge wanted to arrange for one of his protΓ©gΓ©s to go to Ningzhou. Xu Lingyi wondered if he should follow the path of Chen Ge Lao, and Lord Xiang suddenly wrote to them to slow down, "In the middle of May, Hecang Fort in Huguang is far away from the state because of the early peace of Liukou, and it will be asked to build a county to govern it in the near future.

Xu Lingyi perked up and discussed with Luo Zhenxing: "Huguang commander Wang Lei, who was once my subordinate, if you go to Jiahe, there is Lord Xiang and Wang Lei, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" …”

Luo Zhenxing was worried about this matter, and when he heard the rumors, he drank ice water on a dog day, and found the old man of Liangge through the Luo family's way, "There is no suspense in this matter, and it has been completed."

Xu Lingyi smiled slightly: "Jiahe is also a place of poor mountains and bad waters", but it is easy to make political achievements in this way. Officials assessment. Nothing more than taxes, thieves, prison lawsuits, hukou, fields, schools. It's easy to say that the rest is just this tax, I'm afraid you'll have to work harder......,..."

The two said that they were alive in the study, and Eleven Niang sat on the big kang near the window of Qing YΓ­n's house, cleaning Brother Jin'er's clothes: "...... This carved silk jacket was still made with my extra ruler back then. The color is good, and the look is new." Maybe Brother Ting will be able to use it in the future! ”。

Ah Jin responded with a smile, "Yes...,."

Brother Jin walked out with his head wet on his head.

"Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Master! Xiao Ya Cherry chased out with a handkerchief.

"Give it to me。。 Eleven Niang smiled and took the handkerchief in Cherry's hand and helped her son wipe his head, "Such a big person, I don't know how to take care of myself."

Brother Jin grinned, sat on the kang and flipped through the clothes full of kang: "Is this all mine?" I have so many clothes. ", "It's all the Sixth Young Master's... Ah Jin smiled and brought a glass of warm water to Brother Jin'er, "I haven't had time to wear it yet." The sixth young master grew taller. ”。 "Pointing to a pile of clothes on the side," he said, "It's all good material...

Brother Jin picked it up and looked at it, and threw it aside with disinterest. asked Eleven Niang: "Mother, is my uncle really going to Jiahe County to be the county magistrate?" "Of course it's true. Eleven Niang carefully wiped her son's head, "The official documents of the officials have come down." Your uncle will leave the day after tomorrow. ”

Brother Jin thought of half a year's companionship. Very reluctant: "Why do you want to go there?" Is Yanjing bad? It's so far away that you can't see ...... during the New Year's holidays. He said. Turned his head to look at Eleven Niang. "Mother, can you persuade your uncle? In Yanjing, you can do the same five grades, why bother to go far and go to that kind of poor and remote place! ..., the official to the fifth grade. You can be graced, which is the so-called wife and son. The lifelong hope of many officials is to be able to pass the hurdle of five grades.

"Your uncle is not just for Yin En and to be an official... Shi Niang smiled, "He wants to do something for the people." I don't want to be in between those books. …”

Brother Jin was silent for a long time. Gently drag "Oh. . . snorted. He whispered, "I see......." …”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing: "What do you know?" "I took a comb and helped Brother Jin comb and wipe his half-dried hair.

Brother Jin turned his head and tilted his head to look at her: "Uncle wants to be like the fifth uncle!" The last time we went to Wenden, my uncle said that. He said, laughing. "I'm the same, I'm growing up, I'm going to Jiayuguan ......," ......." The big phoenix eyes were shining, and the expression was indescribably flying and free.

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Brother Zijin returned to Beijing. She hadn't seriously talked to her brother about it yet. First, I feel that the trip to Jiangnan still needs a process of digestion; Second, I feel that Brother Jin is still xiao, and it is not time to choose. Unexpectedly. He was still thinking about going to the northwest!

"Did you decide to go to Jiayuguan so early? οΌŒγ€‚ Eleven Niang's combing of her hair slowly slowed down, "Didn't you tell your mother that Zhuge Liang borrowed arrows from the grass boat, and his strategy was unparalleled, and Tongyu burned Chibi, and his momentum was magnificent......,。。

"yes!." Brother Jin smiled, "But I prefer the northwest." The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. Unlike Jiangnan, everything is delicate and ingenious, and adults and men act like women........."

"Nonsense again!. , Eleven Niang said angrily, "Your uncle is from Jiangnan, Mr. Zhao is from Jiangnan, Chen Ge Lao and Dou Ge Lao are all Jiangnan people, which one is like a woman?" National affairs, is it not up to them to decide? The four seas are leveled, is there no credit to them?

In Brother Jin'er's mind, Jiangnan is good. But Northwest was more in his temper. He wanted to go to the Northwest. If my mother thinks the northwest is not good. Will definitely oppose him going. Even if Daddy agreed. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of twists and turns, and if you don't have a heart, you may really not be able to go!

He was going to convince his mother.

"Mother, the northwest is really good! "The place is wide and lofty. Well, you can run, and you can jump if you want to....... ”

"But the Northwest is very bitter." Eleven Niang said with a smile. "The wind and sand blow the noodles, and there is nothing to eat. You're just going to have a trip, and if you're there every day, you're going to get bored.

It's like you're staying at home every day. I always think it's interesting outside...

"It's not 。。 Brother Jin was in a hurry. He ignored Shi Niang's combing of his hair" and turned to look at Shi Niang, "My father and I went from Jiayuguan to Hamiwei, eating flatbread every day, and sometimes staying overnight outside. But when I rode through the hillside and watched the land at my feet, I still find it interesting to leave the valley behind. He said, laughing, "It's not like when I went to Jiangnan with my uncle." It's just a xiaoxiao's three-story wooden building that says it's going to pick up stars.,xiaoxiao's a dirt slope is what a mountain.,A palm-sized puddle of water is called a lake.,It's boring to .......。。 There was only a little disdain between the eyebrows.

Eleven Niang rode a horse.

When you sit on horseback, people's vision will become broader, and the big drag, the crowd will be under your feet, and there will be a sense of superiority looking down on all beings, which will make many people fascinated.

Or is he just a free man who likes to ride a horse and run freely?

"Running so far just to ride a horse? She asked him softly.

Brother Jin shook his head, was silent for a while, and said, "I want to be the chief soldier of Jiayuguan!" …”

"Why do you want to be the chief soldier of Jiayuguan? Eleven Niang looked at her son.

"It's winter. The Tartars will run to Jiayuguan to grab things. Good people die every winter. I've also seen people who have lost their legs and hands. Begging in the streets. Brother Jin'er's face gradually tensed, "The chief soldier of Jiayuguan drank with his father and cried. Say he's old. You can't win the Tartars. Let Daddy not blame him. Daddy also looked helpless. And Jiayuguan buried his head in drinking, and he was drunk... As he spoke, xiao's hands clenched tightly into fists, "I'm an adult, I want to be the chief soldier of Jiayuguan and fight the Tartars." so that they no longer dare to run and rob us of our things ...

Eleven Niang looked at the person in front of her. It feels familiar and strange at the same time.

"Do you know that? Is it dangerous to hit a tartar? There was a flash of water in the corners of her eyes, "A person who is not careful, not only did he not defeat the Tartars, but he will also put his own life into it, and even the entourage like Chang'an and Suifeng around you will also follow you to death!" …”

"No。。 Brother Jin smiled. Dragged Eleven Niang out. "Let's go to the yard."

Eleven Niang wanted to know his intentions and followed him to the courtyard.

Next to Brother Jin'er, there was a rack of weapons, "There are a few spears, bangs, and snake spears." He netgs. Waved a few times. There was a dull cracking sound in the air. He nodded in satisfaction. A bang hit the pomegranate tree next to it. With a click, the arm-thick branches of the pomegranate tree fell.

"Mother! The candlelight of the red lantern under the eaves shone on his face, and the smile at the corner of his eyes was undisguised with pride, "Awesome! I'm going to get better and better in the future! "Full of confidence.

Eleven Niang was speechless for a long time.

"Brother Jin。。 After a long time, she stepped forward and gently hugged her son, "Brute force alone is not enough." You also have to learn how to march and set up formations, and you also have to learn how to fight with the ministers of the DPRK and China. …。 Her eyes were blurry, and she choked up and couldn't continue, "It's a very difficult, very difficult road......"

Her son was walking on a rugged road, and she felt very sad, but why, there was a faint sense of pride in her heart?

She burst into tears.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Brother Jin said strangely, his mind racing quickly, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to see me if I go to the northwest?" No, I will write to you often and see you whenever I have time........."

Eleven Niang netbsp; Brother Jin was a little panicked: "Mother, I, I don't go now, the general soldier of Jiayuguan said that I can't go to the .........northwest until I can wear those yak boots."

There were strong arms that held their mother and son in their arms.

"Alright, alright" stop crying! Xu Lingyi comforted Eleven Niang in a gentle voice, "Brother Jin'er will be fine...... The chief soldier of Jiayuguan is not something that can be done if you want to...... If Brother Jin didn't have this ability, I wouldn't let him go......... Eleven Niang buried her face in that warm embrace and cried in a low voice.! ~!
