Rui Cavalry Battalion, Infantry Battalion, and Shenji Battalion, these three battalions were established one by one at the beginning of Taizu Lin Changhui's accession to the throne. The infantry battalion is located in Xiangshan, the Rui cavalry battalion is located in the west of Tongzhou, and one-third of the Shenji battalion is in the city and two-thirds is outside the city. Among the three battalions, the Shenji Battalion had the most drills and attacks, but because it often involved the change of outfits from top to bottom and the distribution of gunpowder, if a firearm could not be saved, or if there was no gunpowder distributed, the combat strength of the entire battalion would be greatly reduced. Therefore, everyone who has a heart knows that the benefits of the Divine Machine Camp are important in the Ordnance Supervision and the Gunpowder Bureau.

Therefore, Yang Jinzhou does not often go to the camp outside the city, what he has to do now is just to pass the victory he fought before as soon as possible and get familiar with these subordinates of his own. This day was the day of routine inspection out of the city, he hurried back home, and took Qin Hu out, and met with a group of soldiers waiting here at Fuchengmen, and went out of the city at a gallop.

The weather is already hot, and this is especially true on the Loess Avenue. The hot wind and the yellow sand were mixed together, and the head and face drilled into the mouth of the leader of the clothes, and the sweat never stopped. When he arrived in the barracks, he summoned a few subordinates who were at least one or two rounds older than him, first asked him about the things he had arranged before, and then went to the treasury and the school yard, and then withdrew from the crowd to meet the two experiences of the clerk in charge. He had been here until the afternoon, and then he left for the camp in the city.

After returning to the city, he finished this business, and it was not until dusk that he finally had the time to change out of his clothes, which had been completely soaked with sweat. Peeling off his robe, he looked down and saw the thick leather belt around his waist. In addition to the buckle on which the sword is hung, there are several spaces for things. Rubbing the circle of copper nails, he slowly untied them, stared at the fine stitches for a long time, and then went out of the room bare-chested through the back door.

There was a deep well in the backyard, Yang Jinzhou picked up the bucket hanging on the reel and threw it down the well, and then he didn't use the reel, he directly pulled the bucket out of the wellhead with a rope and poured it straight on his body. Stirred by the cold well water, he felt that his head was much clearer all of a sudden, and the feeling of fire was finally gone.

After pouring two buckets of well water on his body, he casually picked up the cloth towel hanging on the tree next to him and wiped the remaining water column on his body, showing his already tight and strong muscles. When he returned to the house and changed his clothes, he called Qin Hu in and said lightly, "Come with me to the Qianmen Street in the outer city." ”

"At this time?" Qin Hu was stunned when he heard this, and then blurted out, "Your Excellency is not going back tonight?" ”

"If you don't go back, the inner city will be closed in a while, just find a place to stay on Qianmen Street."

For three days in a row, Yang Jinzhou only sent a letter back to his mother, did not go home, and did not go home until noon on the fourth day. The Jiang family had long been accustomed to his son's habits, and he kept talking for a while, thinking that people would have to leave from time to time, but he didn't want to have lunch, and someone outside reported that the fourth young master of the Yangning Hou Mansion was here. Although she liked Chen Yan a lot, she didn't expect the two of them to meet so coincidentally, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

Sure enough, after Chen Yan came in with a smile and saluted, he immediately peeked at Yang Jinzhou. After a while, the two of them entered the East House. This trip ended with just a stick of incense, Chen Yan left in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to sit and chat with the Jiang family before leaving, and Yang Jinzhou didn't explain too much to his mother, just nodded under that worried look.

"Mother, just rest assured, she has measure, and I have a number."

Looking at his son's calm expression, the Jiang family also threw away the uncertain doubts in his heart, and after pulling Yang Jinzhou to sit down, he said: "The county lord of Yixing mentioned that July 24 is the birthday of Miss Chen Jiasan, and the Yangning Hou Mansion is ready to work with the Korean government, and then she will accept someone else as her goddaughter." I'm definitely going to go, I don't think I'm looking for another thing for this congratulatory gift, it's the pair of jade chuan left by your father in the early years, how about it? ”

Yang Jinzhou remembered that it was one of the things left by his father and his mother pressing the bottom of the box, so he nodded naturally and said, "If my mother thinks it's good, then send this pair." ”

On the other hand, Chen Yan left the Yang family and hurried to his house. On this day, he didn't really have a boss to spare like a few days ago, and there was still an assessment waiting for him at the Yixing county lord in the afternoon, and it was definitely no better than Du Weifang's checkpoint, so he entered the house like a gust of wind, he asked Chen Lan that he was now in Cuiliuju, so he went straight over, and when he got there, he immediately took out the letter wrapped in oiled paper and threw it on the kang table, and looked at Chen Lan and smiled.

"Sister, my future brother-in-law is still very reliable, I only believe you don't believe me, and I don't even want to let me bring a message"

Regarding her younger brother's ridicule, Chen Lan directly grabbed a red date in the box on the kang table, threw it at Chen Yan's head, and saw him holding his head and slipping away quickly, so she shook her head angrily, and asked Hongluo and Qin Fang to look outside, and then opened the envelope. Although she asked Yang Jinzhou to help pay attention, she also asked Yun'er to inquire about the news outside, so she had a rough idea in her heart.

Even so, when she unwrapped the oiled paper bag and took out the letter, she was shocked at a cursory glance. I have to say that although he has long since faded out of Jinyiwei, Yang Jinzhou has been in it for more than half a year after all, and he is naturally more efficient than her, who knows how to inquire about the news more efficiently, he actually soaked in various places on Qianmen Street for three whole nights pinching those small pieces of paper, she remembered that Yun'er had mentioned that the new commander of Jinyiwei had just taken office seven or eight days ago, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Although those things were solved one by one in the past, she always felt that something was wrong, maybe she was really only scratching the surface and not touching the root of the bottom.

"Miss, Miss Huixin is here"

While he was groaning, Chen Lan heard Qin Fang's voice outside. Knowing that Zhang Huixin's feet were not so fast, she would enter the second door at most at this time, so she first put the letter in the box and locked it, and then let Hongluo stay in the room to watch, and then hurriedly went out with Qin Fang. When she arrived at the corner gate at the east end of the road, she saw Zhang Huixin holding an oil silk umbrella in one hand to shade the sun, and shaking a fan in the other hand and walking over quickly. As soon as she looked at her, before she could speak, Zhang Huixin shouted.

"It's hot, it's really hot, what I hate the most is this hot day, as soon as I go out, it's a fire."

Chen Lan couldn't help but quip: "Then you still come all the way here?" ”

"Still not thinking about you? Besides, after all, the Korean Mansion is very close to the Yangning Marquis Mansion, and I can afford this hardship...... Hurry up, let's go see the old lady first, I still have something to say to you."

Zhu was naturally very happy about Zhang Huixin's arrival, kept her for a while, and on the grounds that he wanted to take a nap, he knowingly let the two of them fight by themselves. As soon as the two arrived at the five main rooms of Chen Lan in Cuiliuju, Zhang Huixin immediately looked around curiously, and the attraction was finally attracted by the bowl of snow cheese brought over. picked up the small spoon and pulled it all down in one breath, and then she rubbed her chest contentedly and leaned directly on Chen Lan's body.

"Hey, it's better to drink these cold drinks, it's much more comfortable now...... Hey, tell me, what did you think when you heard about the marriage? I'm two months away from getting married, and when I think about that day, I panic, what about you? ”

Just talked about cold drinks in summer, and the topic suddenly turned to marriage, Chen Lan was really amazed by Zhang Huixin's whimsical speech. It's just that the word fear of marriage is not Zhang Huixin's patent, and she is also nervous, so after thinking about it, she replied with a wry smile: "If you want to say panic, I'm not much better than you." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Huixin sat up straight all of a sudden, and looked at Chen Lan blankly for a while before he burst out laughing, "Oh, my mother praises you all day long for being calmer than me, I almost forgot that you are younger than me, too, if you get married, you have to leave your father, it's too embarrassing to think about it, but Lord Yang looks very good, my mother said that Mrs. Yang looks like a very good person, you don't have to worry."

This girl was originally to be comforted, but instead comforted others

Chen Lan couldn't help laughing, but he couldn't help but thank Zhang Huixin for his kind words, and immediately took her hand and asked about her fiancé. Knowing that the two had met a few times in bits and pieces, and that it was a straightforward teenager, she naturally smiled and comforted her. Sure enough, after a while, Zhang Huixin's worries disappeared without a trace, but he would talk about the new Western toys sent by Jiangnan, and the birthday banquet that was posting in the four places, and then suddenly remembered another thing in the end.

"By the way, that time I went to Changle Palace, Concubine Xian Niangniang mentioned to me once, the daughter of the county lord is not sealed as usual, but the emperor has always felt that my mother has made great contributions, but he has not been rewarded much, so he will seal me the county lord before I get married. I don't think this is good, I originally wanted to ask the virtuous concubine to let the emperor not bother so much, but the virtuous concubine said that this is to support me in the future. ”

Seeing that Zhang Hui frowned in confusion, he seemed to think that this was a little strange to support himself, but Chen Lan remembered that the county lord of Yixing had no children under his knees, and couldn't help but sigh secretly. It is impossible for the harmonious couple not to think about a hundred years later, so the emperor's reward is naturally the most natural. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the letter from Yang Jinzhou that she had just received, and remembered that he had no objection to the stubble she had asked Chen Yan to tell before, and this trust and indifference touched her heart.

Therefore, she instructed the girl to bring up a few fresh melons and fruits that had been poured with well water before, and hurriedly found an excuse to go to the back room, took a piece of note paper and hurriedly wrote a letter, and then took it out in an oiled paper bag along with Yang Jinzhou's letter: "Sister Huixin, I have something here, please go back and help bring it to the county lord." ”

"What's not bothering, don't worry, I will send it to my mother in person"
