Chapter 154: Enemy Attack

Zhou Hai patted Kang Lai on the shoulder, "You have a lot of places to use money, and these utensils can't be exchanged for a price outside, so it's better to exchange them for silver money in the house, and it's more convenient for you to use them." ”

Kang Lai is not a person who doesn't know what to do, Uncle Zhou is a good person, and he takes good care of them and children from poor families. He wiped a handful of tears and nodded, "Thank you, uncle"

"I see that you have a lot of copper and silver dollars, and your family's expenses are not large, and these loose coins are enough. Why don't I just change it for a gold ingot for you, it's easy to carry. Zhou Hai smiled, "Moreover, usually only your mother is at home alone, and these things are left at home, I'm afraid it's not safe." Be more careful. Although there are not many such things in our border city, it is not a big mistake to be careless. ”

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, I know it in my heart. When I go back, I will buy a property with great fanfare, or go to get a caravan to invest in shares. If the money is spent, it will be safe. Kang Lai smiled honestly, "With an industry, add some interest, and it will be a good day for a long time." Even if I have a chance in the future, my mother will have a side. ”

Zhou Hai's heart was sour, and he smiled, "Follow the master, your little life is not so easy to lose."

When everyone saw Zhou Hai exchanging money for Kanglai, they also followed suit. It's not as convenient outside as it is in the house. The price is fair, and they don't have to bother. Zhou Hai didn't refuse, these things were sold in the Xiao family's own shop, and they couldn't afford to lose.

There are only a few people with superior family backgrounds, and some good ones are left as souvenirs, and the silver is directly exchanged for silver tickets, which are easy to carry. They are not people who are short of money, and I am afraid that they will not be able to use these silver taels for a while.

After everyone dispersed, Liu Xinshou handed a small purse and two small boxes to Zhou Hai, "Please give this to the master, this is for the master and the one hundred and twenty-two sisters." ”

Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, I know." I'll send it over in a moment. ”

Liu Xinshou pointed to a small package at his feet, "Here are some scattered silver, please exchange it for wine, let's just say that our brother and sister of the Scout Xie Shuaifu take care of it, just a little heart, don't be too simple." ”

Zhou Hai nodded, and inevitably praised secretly, he was not very old, but he was experienced and thoughtful. I'm afraid he took out the silver for himself. No wonder this kid can lead a group of cubs, no one is calling for him, just this atmospheric way of doing things is not comparable to ordinary children.

Then Zhou Hai reported these situations to Zheng Qingluan one by one.

Zheng Qingluan opened the two small boxes sent by Zhou Hai, and saw that there were a few exquisite pieces of jewelry from the Western Regions, which were worth two or three hundred taels of silver, and smiled in her heart, this is knowing that one hundred and two is not short of silver, so she chose such an object, and she pushed the thing to one hundred and one two, "Since it is for you, you can keep it." It's a thought. When you are old, you will bring it out and tell your children and grandchildren about their origins. ”

Baiji grinned and took it. Baiyi took a sip of Zheng Qingluan, "No shame or shame"

Zheng Qingluan didn't care either, and opened the purse, but it was a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg. I'm afraid I won't be able to take a thousand taels of silver. Zheng Qingluan smiled, and did not shirk the rules of dividing the spoils of war in the army, she really couldn't break this convention.

"This kid is quite good at getting things done. Zheng Qingluan smiled at Zhou Hai, "Since he took out his own silver and invited everyone to drink, then I, the master, can't watch him suffer, so let's take out Curry's horn bow and send it to him." ”

"Yes" Zhou Haixin said, this kid really took a big advantage. That bow is a really good thing that you can't buy for money. The master is really willing.

When Liu Xinshou arrived home, the smell of stews wafted all over the yard. He sniffed hard, immediately regained his naughty child-like expression, and shouted, "Mother, what are you cooking, stew me a few sheep's trotters." ”

Mrs. Liu immediately came out of the kitchen, ran over and pulled her old son up and down, "Mother's old man, why is it so thin for my mother to see, is it injured?" Seeing that her son was holding a box in his arms, with a white cloth wrapped around his left hand, tears came down immediately, "Let my mother see if I hurt my hand." ”

"Mother, mother" Liu Xinshou hurriedly stuffed the box in his arms, "Look, this is my son's trophy, and it is all jewelry that my mother can wear." After speaking, he saw his father and two brothers come out of the house, and hurriedly saluted, "Dad, I'm worried about you." ”

Liu Zhike saw that his son's temperament was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, he was both proud and distressed, "Come in and talk" After speaking, he turned around and walked into the house, and said, "Child, get food for the child." I'm afraid I'm hungry. ”

"Got it. Mrs. Liu went into the kitchen with the small box.

Liu Xinshou greeted the two elder brothers, and the father and son entered the house and sat on the kang.

"Now that my father's identity is different, the family should hire a few more people, and I can't let my mother be so busy all day long, I have to do everything myself. Liu Xinshou smiled, trying to avoid his father's inquiry.

"On weekdays, your mother is home alone, what's so busy" Liu Zhike glared at his old son, "Don't change the topic, let's talk about it, what's going on"

"We are not conventional in warfare, and we are not the same thing as you, and you don't understand it. Liu Xinshou jumped over lightly, "The harvest this time is still very rich." ”

Then he began to talk endlessly about the so-called rare treasures harvested this time, until the family finished eating, and each rested, and failed to take out half of the useful sentences.

Liu Zhike's face was annoyed, but his eyes flashed with relief and appreciation. This son has become a talent

Guo Feiyan also returned to Guo's house with a box of jewelry. Girls don't care what their personality is, they all like delicate jewelry, even if they don't wear it, it's better to keep it. These things, those boys don't fight with her, and they choose the ones that are lovely for her. Nobody cares about the value.

Mrs. Guo saw the appearance of the goddess Cai Feiyang, and her face bloomed with a smile, "Our Feiyan is promising, and your brother is not as good as you." ”

Guo Xinkang felt that he was very aggrieved, and now in the Shuai Mansion, he was following Xiao Er and them, and it was said that he was absolutely decent, but this was completely different from killing the enemy on the battlefield. Compared with my sister, it does look bleak. It seems that it is necessary to discuss with Xiao Xinping and Li Xinning, where the future of the three of them is

Guo Zhishen saw the two shining eyes of his daughter, and felt that his heart was pinched. This girl doesn't look like she's playing, I'm afraid she really has the heart to follow her master to the battlefield.

He squeezed out a smile and said worriedly, "Girl, this time I can be regarded as following the master, and the battlefield is like that, let's stay at home in the future, and go to the city to go around when your mother is bored, and it doesn't hurt to go to the gambling house" Guo Zhishen also worked hard to stop his daughter's dream of being a general.

"Isn't that not doing business," Guo Feiyan was very dissatisfied with his father's ill-intentioned pout, "How can anyone lead his own daughter to the crooked road" His father is really out of tune as always.

Guo Zhishen wants to cry, for the sake of his daughter's life, is it easy for him, "Outside things, with me and your brother, you play with your mother at home, okay, my father doesn't think you are a loser, you can spend the family's money casually." Good behave"

"What are these words" Guo Feiyan was very disapproving, "In the future, I will spend all the money I earn, and I will also honor my father and mother." I've made a lot of money this time."

"You are a girl, you should get married in a few years" Guo Zhishen said in a gentle tone, step by step, "How can you follow a group of wild boys to run around all day long"

"What's wrong with the girl's family" Guo Feiyan fried her hair, "Don't be funny if you marry someone to someone else's family and be a mother for life"

"How is it an old mother" Guo Zhishen frowned, "Look at your mother, in our family, it is the same thing." Who's going to be like this?"

"Okay, you Guo Zhishen, this is disgusting with me, right, I will give you children, serve you to dress and eat, and don't treat me as an old mother, you are unwilling, right" Mrs. Guo's eyebrows were raised, her eyes widened, Guo Zhishen immediately withered, "How can this family be supported by Mrs."

Guo Feiyan raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Look at it, you are so good at hurting people when you meet your father, my mother is so hard, so how can we do it in the future, where can we find someone like my father?"

"That's," Guo Zhishen nodded in agreement.

Guo Feiyan immediately grabbed the conversation, "So, what do I do when I get married, after I get married, I might as well live at home, why bother" She hugged her father's arm and coquettishly, "When I become a female general, those days will definitely be better than now, aren't people just to get better and better?"

This is not wrong, Guo Zhishen nodded.

Guo Xinkang rolled his eyes, as soon as his father met his mother and sister-in-law, he was confused, and he sneered, "This is iron-hearted, want to go to the battlefield, isn't that to kill people, not to play"

"How fresh is this," Guo Feiyan snorted, "If you don't kill someone, can you call the battlefield, isn't it just for us to see blood, the master can run to other people's territory to find fault for no reason"

Guo Feiyan's words made the family of three stunned. Although there have been speculations for a long time, when the matter is really in front of me, there is still some unacceptable.

"The master also did it," Guo Xinkang asked in a low voice.

"Isn't the rule of the Xiao family to go to the battlefield to be the first to take the lead, isn't this very new?" Guo Feiyan asked in surprise.

"How did you fight," Guo Zhishen hurriedly asked.

Guo Feiyan's eyebrows immediately danced, and just about to speak, she seemed to remember something, and hesitated for a long time before she said, "Military secrets"

p

Guo Zhishen glanced at his daughter quite meaningfully, this child already has a good military literacy, it seems that his Guo family can really produce another general He glared at his son, I didn't think before, but now compared with him, his son is not as good as his daughter, so how can he be embarrassed

Mrs. Guo's mind is much simpler, and it is enough to see that her daughter appears healthier and happier.

After the bandits, Zheng Qingluan's rhythm of life returned to its original trajectory. Basically, they do business in the barracks.

In the blink of an eye, it is the wax moon. The New Year's gifts to the capital and home have already been sent. After suppressing the bandits, Zheng Qingluan also handed a letter to the capital asking for guilt, claiming that his discipline was not good, and asking for a confession. As for what kind of uproar she and the two excerpts from the Governor of Ping'an Prefecture will cause, she really doesn't care.

Because of the New Year's gift in the capital, it has also been delivered one after another in the past few days.

Along with the New Year's gift, there are also appointment documents for each rank of the Xiao Jiajun. This is something that is crucial elsewhere. Without it, you can't take office, but for the border city, no one cares. But Zheng Qingluan wants to go to the fold of thanksgiving, and he can't do anything less on his face.

Zheng Qingluan was very busy during this time, and throughout the year, how to reward soldiers must have a certain statute. These trivial things annoyed her dizzy.

The only good news is that through Huang Hua's efforts, the sand table has been completed. Zheng Qingluan invited many generals to come, and they also put forward many suggestions for revision of the areas they knew and were familiar with. After another month of busyness, the sand table was perfected.

At this time, it was already the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

The military camp is not as good as the imperial court, and there is a seal. The more this time, the more careless it is. It is necessary to strictly guard against a sneak attack by enemy troops. He was also busy arranging duty to stabilize the morale of the army.

Even on Chinese New Year's Eve, Zheng Qingluan stayed in the barracks. Make dumplings with everyone, eat dumplings, and keep vigils, but it is also lively

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was busy dealing with the crowd of New Year's greetings, and I couldn't be idle for a moment. People are also getting thinner.

It wasn't until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year that Zheng Qingluan returned to the Shuai Mansion, and after freshening up, he stuffed some food indiscriminately and went to sleep. I don't even have the skill to be homesick.

"Master, master" Baiyi put on a cloak and whispered to Zheng Qingluan, "Something happened to Ping'an Prefecture and was attacked"

Zheng Qingluan opened his eyes instantly, and immediately sat up, "What did you say?"

"Ping'an Prefecture was attacked, Lin'an County was almost slaughtered, and the prefect Zhang Chengfang sent people to ask for help. "Hundred handed over the clothes.

Zheng Qingluan was wearing clothes mechanically, but he was thinking about it in his heart. Ping'an Prefecture did not belong to the scope of the Xiao family's army. And the border with Ping'an Prefecture is not the Jurchen Tartars, but the Xianbei known as the Beihu people. The Xianbei clan borders Ping'an Prefecture in the south, Tartar in the west, and Inurong living between the white mountains and black waters in the east. Xianbei can be regarded as surviving in the cracks. How to sneak attack Ping'an Prefecture in a good way

"What does the Zhenbei Army do to eat" Zheng Qingluan wiped his face with a handkerchief, chewed orange peel in his mouth, and walked out.

Baiyi hurriedly handed over the big one, "Master, in the middle of the night, it's snowing heavily outside." Be careful. ”

Zheng Qingluan grabbed the big coat and put it on his body, and Xiao Er, Xiao Wu and others were already waiting. Zheng Qingluan directly ordered, "Go and call Li Zhiqian, Liu Zhike, Yang Zhihe, and me." ”

Xiao Wu nodded yes.

Zheng Qingluan didn't stay, and went directly to the outer courtyard
