Chapter 17: Shocking the Wine (Part II)

(Ask for collection)

Jiang Bin calmed down his emotions and continued: "I have a grudge with Wang Dan and Huang Tong because of this matter, and they are still polite on the surface, but I know that they will not let me go sooner or later, they are just waiting for an opportunity, by the way, have you heard about the Black Mountain Fort incident three months ago?" ”

Song Nan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, I study at home all day long, and I don't hear anything outside the window." ”

Jiang Bin nodded and said, "No wonder you don't know, this matter has not been made public; Three months ago, according to the Black Mountain Fort fifty miles north of Ulju City, it was raided by the Tatar cavalry, killing and wounding more than 20 people. Although the Tartars raided overnight, the number of people was fifty or sixty, several times more than the Ming army guarding the Black Mountain Fort, and casualties were inevitable under surprise, in fact, I happened to take leave to go to Datong Mansion to meet friends in those days, but Wang Dan, the old thief, put this matter on my head, saying that I was not strict in organizing the army on weekdays, and the defensive measures were improper, so as to give the Tartars a chance; In the past few days, the Examination and Selection Department of the Ministry of War is about to send someone to investigate this matter, and I estimate that I am afraid that my hat of a thousand households will not be worn for a long time. Hey, a bunch of villains, just blame me for being too upright and offending them. ”

Song Nan said in his heart: It turns out that you yourself are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, but you came to invite me to join the army and enter the curtain, and promised me to be promoted to the position of a hundred households, isn't this talking nonsense with your eyes open.

"Brother Song, I know what you think in your heart, you must think that my invitation to join the army as an official is too unreliable; I admit that I am indeed having a hard time in my current situation; But since last month in front of the Song Mansion for a while, I think you are a resourceful person, Jiang is fighting hard, it is not a problem, but he is really less attentive in playing tricks, so I sincerely invite you to come to my Qianhu office, is to ask Brother Song to help me get a proper idea to tide over the difficulties, if I can help Song to tide over the current difficulties, Song will be very grateful. ”

Song Nan finally understood the reason why Jiang Bin was staring at him, it turned out that he wanted to borrow his brain to help him find a way to stay away from the disaster, Song Nan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this matter was really unexpected.

"Jiang Qianhu is a bit like he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, how can I help with such things? If you want me to pray for you in front of the Bodhisattva, it's okay, but I can't do anything else. Song Nan smiled bitterly.

Jiang Bin grabbed Song Nan's arm and said: "Don't, I have seen Brother Song's ability with my own eyes, and in a few words, he forced the Song Mansion to give silver, and before going to the Song Mansion, he had already thought of several possibilities and countermeasures, and Song asked himself if he couldn't do this alone; Besides, you are a talented man, Song is an old man, but he also knows that Lu Dao scholars have quick brains and many scheming, otherwise why would even the wise grandfather ask Xu Maogong, a scholar, to give him advice, it can be seen that it is impossible to achieve it with the force of soldiers and horses without strategy, this is also the conclusion I have come to think about for months, Brother Song should not refuse, help me think of a way. ”

Song Nan laughed and laughed, this logic is really weird, but if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is some truth, Liu Xuande looks at Zhuge Kongming and Liu Bang to fight for the world and Zhang Liang assists, even if it is the Liangshan bandits in the Zhao and Song dynasties, they also make a scholar and military advisor Wu Yong decently, this Jiang Qianhu thinks so, it is not a big fuss.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the status of military generals was much inferior to that of Wenchen, but in the minds of military attachΓ©s, there was a feeling of contempt and inferiority for scholars, and most military attachΓ©s showed disdain for scholars, and Jiang Bin was of course the same; But this situation is different, Jiang Bin encountered the biggest test in his life, and he planned to solve this big trouble, when he happened to see Song Nan begging for family property in front of the Song Mansion, he had to admit that his head was not easy to use; Thinking of his own troubles, he wanted to turn to Song Nan for help, although Song Nan was just a poor talent, and could even be described as nothing, but in Jiang Bin's opinion, it was nothing less than a treasure.

Of course, Song Nan didn't know the complicated cause and effect of Lu Dao, he was only surprised that the sudden turn of the matter was a little confusing, but as far as the problems Jiang Bin encountered were concerned, Song Nan was very willing to help, after all, overall, Jiang Bin was a conscientious border general, if he didn't lie, he would also take care of his soldiers, and the behavior of Wang Dan and Tongzhi Huang Tong, the commander of Ulzhou Wei, was a typical act of corrupt officials and tyrants, ignoring the safety of the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, squeezing his soldiers, and retaliating afterwards; Although Song Nan is not the kind of upright gentleman, if there is an opportunity to punish evil and promote good, why not do it?

Moreover, Song Nan could see Jiang Bin's eagerness, he believed that as long as he could help Jiang Bin overcome this difficulty, Jiang Bin would definitely put his heart into himself in the future, and his current situation, even if he climbed into a military attache with a small official position as a friend, it would be a big turning point.

But the question is, did you help yourself? How to help? This needs to be weighed carefully, and if you can't help Jiang Bin, you can put yourself in it, you can't do it.

Song Nan frowned, got up and paced slowly, thinking about this matter seriously, Jiang Bin looked at Song Nan with an eager face, his head turned back and forth with Song Nan's figure, and a majestic martial artist was like a helpless schoolboy at the moment.

With the sound of her footsteps, Aunt Fang walked over with a freshly cooked side dish, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "The two of you talked so hotly, what military affairs are so concerned?" Come and come, try the fried foie gras fried by the slave family, this pot is the Huadiao wine transported from the south, warm the stomach without hurting the body. ”

Jiang Bin pointed to his lips and said softly: "Be quiet, Brother Song is thinking about things, you let go of yourself, you have to work." ”

Fang Gu was stunned, this Jiang Qianhu had never ignored himself like this, whenever he appeared, his greedy eyes kept turning on his body, but now not only did he have to whisper, but he didn't even leave Song Nan's figure with his eyes, as if he was nothing.

However, Fang Gu was soon relieved that she didn't cook by herself to show anything, but because Jiang Bin often took care of business, the sergeants under him often came to take care of business, and cooking by himself was just to satisfy Jiang Bin's vanity; can't let him think about it, but he doesn't have to be old-fashioned and mean, after all, he shows up to sell wine, and he is not a beautiful little jasper, so there is no need to be so pretentious.

Song Nan stopped and turned his head and wrinkled his nose to sniff, and when he saw the hot side dishes, he quickly turned around and returned to his seat, raised his chopsticks and chewed the hot foie gras, and praised him repeatedly: "Aunt Fang is a good craft, delicious and tight, this kind of side dish can't be eaten with silver in a big restaurant." ”

Fang Gu's heart is open, and some people praise her for being naturally useful, not to mention that she is a handsome little talent.

Jiang Bin was eager to ask, but he couldn't speak because of Aunt Fang's presence, and he was embarrassed to ask Aunt Fang to leave; Song Nan smiled and said: "Lord Qianhu, try this stir-fried foie gras, Miss Fang will cook it herself, we will have a good time." ”

Jiang Bin said incorrectly: "Yes, yes, that...... Got it figured? ”

Fang Gu is very smart, knowing that Lu Dao is hindering Jiang Bin from speaking here, so she said hello to the two of them and turned to leave, and Song Nan's exclamation came from her ears: "It's delicious, it's really delicious, if you can eat such a delicious side dish every day, it's worth dying." ”

Fang Gu had a fever on her face: Is this little show hinting at something? Just now, I was almost hugged by him just now, and the smell on his body was very good, and I don't know what pancreas he used.

"Cousin, why are you red?" Qingli asked, standing at the counter and leaning her neck.

"Go, go, you're here to watch, I'll go to the backyard to get the grape trellis, there are guests, your hands and eyes should be sharp, don't be cranky, don't hear it."

"Okay, you're my cousin, but not my mother, why are you so verbose." Qingli pouted and retracted her head, hiding under the counter to concentrate on the embroidery in her hand.

Here, Jiang Bin watched Aunt Fang walk away, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Song, can you help me or not?" What can you think of? ”

Song Nan chewed on the foie gras and said vaguely: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Horizontally and vertically, at this time, try this delicious taste first. ”

Jiang Bin patted his leg and said, "Oh, if you help me survive this catastrophe, I will invite you to eat foie gras every day." ”

Song Nan squinted and said, "Eat the foie gras fried by Aunt Fang every day?" Can you do it? ”

Jiang Bin was dumbfounded: "That's not possible, it's okay to go back once in a while, I want her to fry every day, unless I marry her and go home, but where will people take a fancy to me." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "It's good that you know the way, there is no good way to do this for a while, I have a few questions I want to ask clearly, and after asking clearly, I can slowly come up with a solution, you are so anxious to urge, when I am a loose donkey, do you pull out a big lump after patting?" ”

Jiang Bin was stunned, scratched his head and smiled: "That's right, it's not that easy, you think slowly, since Brother Song has promised to help me, the big stone in my heart will fall halfway." ”

Song Nan said: "Why did I say I wanted to help you?" ”

Jiang Bin opened his mouth sluggishly, Song Nan smiled and said: "Come on, Jiang Qianhu can afford me Song Nan, how can I not know how to lift, but I have a word first, if I come up with a way, I will go to the army, you must also keep your promise, I don't want to be a small soldier at the bottom, and I don't want the identity of a military household, otherwise I won't be a son and grandson to go to war." If I can't think of a way, I'm useless with you, or I want to follow you, and I'm afraid you don't want to. ”

Jiang Bin nodded again and again and said: "Brother Song is quick to talk, if I am not too practical, I can't protect this catastrophe myself, how can I promise anything; As for the issue of military household identity, the Song brothers can rest assured that not all the military households in the army have military household status, and the officials are not military household status, and after promotion, the military household identity is also hereditary as an official, which is even more harmless. ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "That's the reason, then I ask you to answer, I want to know the whole story of the matter." ”

Jiang Bin said: "Brother Song, please ask, I know everything." ”
