On the second day, Guo Nanyuan led his troops to leave Meixian and rush to Yidu under the help of the people of Meixian County, and Zhou Weiji and Li Jingang sent him out ten miles before returning.

Tian Daozhi was still waiting at the entrance of the city in a daze, and he still didn't understand why Guo Nanyuan wanted to come to Mei County for one night. Sure enough, the war king's thinking is unpredictable, and it is not something that a petty official like him can understand, since Li Jingang stayed, he should be able to explain his intentions.

Li Jingang couldn't understand what he was thinking when he saw him like this, although he disdained to be with Tian Daozhi, but what should be done still had to be done well.

"Lord Tian, let's go back to the county office, bandits have been rampant in the mountains recently, so we should make plans as soon as possible."

Tian Daozhi is even more strange, bandits are rampant in the mountains? He hadn't heard anything about the rampant banditry, but a few homeless people who had fallen into the grass occasionally came out to rob pedestrians, and he sent people to arrest them a few times, and then hid in the mountains and never showed their heads again.

How could this matter spread to the state capital, could it be that these homeless people have a great background? The more Tian Daozhi thought about it, the more he felt that things were strict, and he hurriedly instructed his master to say a few words, and then followed Li Jingang into a sedan chair and hurried back to the county office.

Zhou Weiji looked funny, Mi Yichao stepped forward and said: "Brother Tuesday, there are arrangements for today, I have a few horses there, please trouble the second brother to help with the eyes." I just asked the second brother to help pick a meek horse to bring back to Wenxuan. ”

Zhou Weiji nodded: "It's okay, the child is not sensible, so let Master Mi cut his love." Lan Yi often tells the children to keep their word and do what they say. Since he said that he would bring him back the little white horse today, he must do it.

Lan Junzhi next to him interjected with a smile, "Brother Mi, the junior brother also went to join in the fun, I heard that you have a few good horses there." ”

Mi Yichao said modestly: "Where do I know what a good horse is, just look at the appearance, I heard that there are clansmen in the Lan family who are officials in the Qiji Courtyard of Taifu Temple, presumably Brother Lan also has a lot of research on horses, just go and help me take a look." ”

The three of them turned around and got on their horses and slowly hurried to Mi Yichao's mansion, Lan Junzhi said to Zhou Weiji with a smile: "Brother Zhou, this horse is tall and godlike, with eyes and four hooves like a basin, it should be a horse from the Northwest Domain, right?" My family just lucked a few horses from the Northwest Domain a few days ago, Brother Zhou and Brother Mi are free, let's go and take a look, my family's horse farm is not far from Brother Mi's horse farm. ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, "It's okay." It's a pity that Brother Li has official affairs, and he reads through Bole's "Soma Sutra" and loves Soma. ”

Mi Yichao said with a smile: "Master Li is a general judge, and he is in charge of countless horses in the Dongping Horse Prison, and the few horses in my family must not be in the eyes of Master Li. ”

The Great Zhou Dynasty is heavy on horses, and the shepherd has been quite large-scale, and the Gyeonggi area has four left and right Tiansi supervisors, and two left and right Tianchang Fang, all of which are subordinate to Qiji Yuan; There are a total of 16 prisons outside, which are distributed in the north and south regions of the Yellow River and belong to various prefectures, and there are two prisons in Dongping, which are under the management of the general judgment.

After picking the horse, Zhou Weiji refused Mi Yichao to stay for dinner, and rushed back to Lan Yi's house in South Hutong.

Yu'er and Wen Xuan both went to Mrs. Zhou to accompany them, and today only Lan Yi, Wang Chunrong, and Dao Wufeng were at home, and they saw Zhou Weiji coming back with two horses, one large and one small, one black and one white.

The little white horse was no more than three feet tall, with a thick mane and a beautiful body, and stood next to Gundam's sturdy Kuroko and looked very petite and delicate.

Lan Yi asked curiously: "Is this my sister's little white horse, really so small, will it grow taller?" Wang Mingli sent Wen Xuan back and told him about Mi Yichao wanting to give him a pony, but his tone was more or less reproachful for Lan Yi for not being able to educate children and being uneducated to ask for things from others.

Wang Chunrong took the pony and tied it to the stable, and said very knowingly: "Little sister, you don't understand. This horse is called Guoxia, it has grown so big, it is for women and children to ride, this kind of horse is mostly hair, and white ones are really rare. ”

Lan Yi looked at it, "This is smaller than my little donkey, how much strength can I have, don't crush it." ”

Zhou Weiji patted the pony's back and said, "Chunrong is right, this is the fruit of our great Zhou Anning, and it is named because of its short stature and ability to walk under the fruit tree." Although this horse looks smaller, but the temperament is tame, good at climbing and bearing, the most suitable for mountain transport and riding, and it is resistant to rough feeding, raising it is not more troublesome than a donkey, let's take it back and wait for the two children to ride and play when they are older. ”

Lan Yi nodded, imagining the picture of a family of four traveling, Zhou Weiji riding a sunspot, she riding a donkey, and the two little guys riding fruit dismounting......

It seems that her grade is one level worse, and she also wants to change the fruit and get off the horse...... It looks much better than her donkey.

Zhou Wei saw her eyes and felt a little funny, "Things happened in a hurry, the chief bookkeeper Lan Junzhi said that there happened to be a few good fruits in his family's horse farm, I will go over tomorrow to take a look and pick one back for you." ”

Lan Yi hurriedly nodded, "Second brother, pick a white one, let them make a pair, and give one to the second uncle's family when they give birth to a pony in the future." ”

Wang Chunrong glanced at his sister, "Little sister, didn't my brother just say it, this kind of horse white is very rare." Besides, ahem, Wei Ji, you should call me big brother. ”

Lan Yi and Dao Wufeng laughed secretly, and Zhou Weiji nodded.

Wang Chunrong continued: "I said brother-in-law, the real person doesn't show up!" You turned out to be a subordinate of the War King, can the War King really provoke four enemies with one shot? ”

The folk generals of the war king are miraculous, Lan Yi is white-eyed, picking four with one shot, thinking it is a string of sugar gourds, and besides, the enemy generals are all gathered and stayed!

Before Zhou Weiji could speak, Wang Chunrong asked again and again: "Brother-in-law, your official position in the army is not low, right?" Didn't Brother Dao call you 'Lang General', how many people will Lang bring with you? Do you follow the king of war every day? The sweaty and bloody horse of the king of war is really the king of horses that the king of war personally caught from the mountains? ”

Zhou Weiji and Dao Wufeng looked at each other and smiled, they had heard a lot of these words, and the fame of the war king could be seen.

"I'm just leading hundreds of people in the army, and I'm not an important position." Zhou Weiji said lightly, "Wufeng, Tao'er, Brother Li is going back to Dongping in the future, let's go to Fengxian Building to see him off." ”

Lan Yi nodded, "Brother, you go to the old lady to sue Sù Niang, and I will come back later." ”

Wang Chunrong nodded, and let go of Zhou Weiji with some regret, "Let's go, brother will send you over and go to the mansion again." ”

In Wang Chunrong's opinion, his sister has not yet married Zhou Weiji, and it is inconvenient to go out with the two of them.

Dao Wufeng said directly, "Second brother, I'm not going to go." ”

Yesterday at the prince's place, he had already met Li Jingang and had a deep conversation with him in the middle of the night. Today, Li Jingang clearly wanted to see Lan Yi, and it was inconvenient for them to talk when he went.

Zhou Weiji nodded lightly, "It's okay." ”

Fengxian Building is not far away, the three of them walked out of the alley and crossed the lively Silk Street, there were many shops on both sides of the street, small stalls, and hawkers, Lan Yi actually saw someone carrying a sugar gourd for sale, and the price was ten cents a string. Lan Yi smiled, a little nostalgic for the days when she sold sugar gourds last year.

"Little sister, this sugar gourd was only available last year, it tastes good, brother will buy you two strings." Wang Chunrong saw his sister smiling at the vendor selling sugar gourds, and immediately took out copper coins to buy them.

Lan Yi grabbed him and shook his head, "Brother, I'll do this, and I'll make it for you when I buy some red fruits and go back." ”

Zhou Weiji remembered that Lan Yi, Lin Xi and others set up stalls in Huangxian County last year to sell sugar gourds and fried chestnuts with sugar, and his mood at that time was really like eating sugar gourds, sweet and sour.

The sweet thing is to be able to see her, and the sour thing is that she works so hard that she can't help herself.

Now it's okay, you can help her as much as you want.

Zhou Weiji smiled very softly.

Lan Yi didn't pay attention to his expression, and after bidding farewell to Wang Chunrong at the door of Fengxian Tower, he began to look at this famous building in Meixian County.

Fengxian building is adjacent to also three floors, red wall and tile, the building is a graphite brick, vermilion beam wood, the window lattice lintel has brick carving woodcuts, very delicate atmosphere. On both sides of the lobby, there are eight mahogany screens of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, and the eight immortal tables are scattered in the hall, and the shopkeepers with white handkerchiefs shuttle back and forth, and the conversations of the guests are mixed with the aroma of food and wine, like an unfolded picture of ancient life in ink.

Zhou Weiji said hello to Xiao Er, and directly took Lan Yi to the private room engraved with the * Qingyun wooden sign on the second floor, Xiao Er poured tea and food for the two of them and exited to gently close the door, the hustle and bustle of the street and the liveliness of the hall were isolated from the private room, and it became an independent world. The private room is placed with bamboo tables, chairs and wine utensils, bamboo couches and a row of small bamboo potted plants under the windowsill, which really fits the name of * Qingyun, Lan Yi curiously pushed open the window, and what came into her eyes was that the strange stones and red leaves in the small garden were blooming with various chrysanthemums, the autumn mood was strong, and the fragrance of flowers hit people, and she couldn't help but exhale a turbidity, inhale the fragrance of the lungs, and the whole mood was also calm.

It is worthy of being the most expensive and best restaurant in Huang County, Zhang Pingyu really has a few brushes, Lan Yi can't help but start thinking about what improvements need to be made if this restaurant is his own.

Feeling Zhou Weiji's gaze, Lan Yi raised his head and smiled, and sat down opposite him.

"One by one, Brother Li will come directly after he comes out of the county office, let's wait for him here first."

Lan Yi nodded obediently, picked up the carved bamboo cup and took a sip of tea.

Zhou Weiji then explained: "After I entered the barracks, I served under Brother Li, and he and I are also good brothers from birth to death, so I have the opportunity to gather here, so I brought you over to meet him in advance." ”

Chun Tao has not yet left the cabinet, and it is indeed inconsistent with the rules to bring her to meet her friends like this, so Zhou Weiji said a few more words.

Lan Yi nodded, how could she care about those sour rules.

She took out a purse from her sleeve: "Brother Tuesday, there are two hundred taels of silver here, don't be aggrieved when you eat and drink, don't be rude to what you should ask and give, I still have silver here, you can take this first." ”

After coming out of Huangxian, all the expenses were his money, and after arriving in Meixian, he needed to stay in a hotel for dinner, invite a matchmaker, and go to Dongping, all of which cost money.

Zhou Wei refused to accept it, he knew that it was not easy for Lan Yi to earn these silvers, he married Lan Yi to take care of her and make her suffer less, how could he spend her own money.

Lan Yi deliberately lowered her face, "Second brother, are you still polite to me until now?" ”

Zhou Wei likes to listen to these words very much, and there is really no need to be polite between them.

Moreover, he really didn't have much silver left, and he thought that he would go hunting in the mountains tomorrow to exchange money, which was not difficult for him.

"One by one, I have ten taels a month, add two taels to the head of the team, and when I go back, I will go to the mountains to exchange money for prey, you don't need to work as hard as before." Her figure of working hard in the fields and on the hillside, Zhou Weiji could only watch from afar at that time, feeling sorry for her, but he couldn't help her.

Lan Yi silently thought about the matter of Yulu. Xia Wan once said that Mi Yichao's monthly salary is only twenty-five taels, relatively speaking, Zhou Weiji's monthly salary of twelve taels is not less. However, the first month of the shift was only two taels of silver, which was less than Lan Yi thought.

Zhou Weiji lives alone, and has an income of one hundred and forty-four taels a year, which is sufficient; After they got married, they lived in Beigou Village, and the money was indeed enough for them to live a rich life, and they would not lack food and clothing. But looking at Zhou Weiji's appearance, you know that he doesn't pay attention to his savings on weekdays, and he doesn't have any silver in hand.

Lan Yi didn't want to hurt his self-esteem, but she would only earn more and more money in the future, so it was better to tell him in advance, "Brother Tuesday, although I am talking about marrying a Han and marrying a Han to dress and eat, I am not trying to marry you." You work well in the Yamen, I also raise more chickens and ducks at home to grow peonies, our life will be good, and I like to do things, I don't feel hard. Second brother, will you dislike me for showing up and doing business with others? ”

Zhou Weiji listened to her gentle words, looked at her sweet appearance and smiling eyes, how many lifetimes of blessing and fate, God let himself meet this kind little girl in this life?
