When he turned around and saw Li Xiangjun in armor, especially the border army behind Li Xiangjun, the old man immediately fell to his knees in fright: "The little old man didn't know that the general had arrived, so please forgive me." ”

I don't know which general this is, but it's always right to be called a general.

Li Xiangjun ignored the old man, and just walked over and picked up the girl.

I saw that the girl had a dark face, but she was tall and strong.

The clothes on the girl's body were also torn, and she could barely cover her shame.

Through the holes in her clothes, you can clearly see the scars on the girl's body, both new and old, and it is clear that this girl has often been beaten by her father.

If you change to a weak physique, it is estimated that you will be killed a long time ago.

Li Xiangjun sighed lightly and asked, "Sister, what's your name?" ”

"I, my name is the second sister, my surname is Chen." The girl glanced at Li Xiangjun timidly, and then quickly stared at her toes.

Li Xiangjun followed the second sister's gaze and landed on her feet, and saw a pair of huge and calloused feet.

Chen Ermei became more cramped, with the aesthetics of this time, it is undoubtedly very embarrassing for a woman to have such a pair of big feet, but there is no place to hide such a pair of big feet.

The old man was angry again, and raised his thorns to fight again.

Li Xiangjun was angry and shouted: "If you dare to beat someone again, I will arrest you and take you to the official!" ”

The old man didn't dare to beat Chen Ermei again, but he muttered in his mouth, Xiao Lao beat his daughter, what kind of official did he see?

Li Xiangjun then asked Second Sister Chen: "Second Sister, are you willing to be a soldier?" Follow me now if you want. ”

"Soldiering?" Chen Ermei asked timidly, "Isn't it only men who can be soldiers?" Can women too? ”

"It wasn't possible before, but now it can." Li Xiangjun nodded and said, "The Holy Lord has issued a holy decree to recruit a battalion of female soldiers in Xuzhou, and General Ben returned to Nanjing this time to recruit female soldiers." ”

"Then, that ......" Chen Ermei asked in a low voice, "Can you eat enough to be a soldier?" ”

"Yes." Li Xiangjun smiled dumbly, and said, "You can eat all meals." ”

"Really?" Second Sister Chen's eyes showed a look of hope, "Then I'll go with you." ”

At this time, Old Man Chen also asked: "General, it seems that there is a salary for being a soldier, right?" ”

Old man Chen doesn't mind his daughter being a soldier, even if he doesn't become a soldier, he plans to drive out of the house, and if he goes to be a soldier, he will not only have one less mouth to eat, but maybe he can also get a salary.

"Yes, five cents a month." Li Xiangjun nodded.

"Five cents a month?" Old man Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed, wouldn't he have six dollars of silver a year?

"But the money is not for you." Li Xiangjun said coldly, "It's for the second sister." ”

"Little is her father!" Old Man Chen was immediately anxious, "Her silver should naturally belong to me." ”

"You don't count." Li Xiangjun said, "This is the rule set by the saint, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

"Huh?" Old man Chen was taken aback, he didn't dare to resist the decree and wanted to kill his head.

Li Xiangjun said again: "Uncle Chen, I'll take the second sister away." ”

After speaking, he said to Chen Ermei: "Second sister, follow me." ”

took Chen Ermei out of the alley, and Li Xiangjun planned to buy her a line first.

A seventeen or eighteen girl, wearing tattered clothes that are almost exposed, and she doesn't even have a pair of straw sandals on her feet, which is really not true.

As a result, before I got out of the charcoal workshop, I met a family who was doing a funeral.

There are many neighbors who are pointing in front of the door, and many people are shaking their heads and sighing, as if they are very sympathetic to this family.

Li Xiangjun didn't want to do much, but when she passed by the door, she heard a woman crying.

There were also two neighbors who were discussing, saying that the man in this family had just died, leaving only the orphan girl and widow, and as a result, the uncle of the family came to collect the house and wanted to drive the mother and daughter out of the house.

Hearing this, Li Xiangjun was suddenly so angry that his eyebrows stood up, this is a desperate household.

Li Xiangjun immediately took Chen Ermei, Ge Nenniang and more than 20 border troops to forcibly break in.

The dozen or so men and women who were dividing up their belongings inside were suddenly startled, and looked at Li Xiangjun at a loss.

Li Xiangjun's beautiful eyes swept around, and she saw the coffin placed in the hall, as well as a mother and daughter kneeling in front of the coffin, both mother and daughter were wearing heavy filial piety.

My daughter is about 10 years old.

The widowed mother was about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

When Li Xiangjun looked at it, it happened that the widowed mother also looked up.

is still a little bit beautiful, and wearing filial piety is even more pitiful.

However, what Li Xiangjun wants is not posture, but body.

At that moment, Li Xiangjun asked, "General Ben asked you, what's going on?" ”

The widowed mother said sadly: "Back to the general's words, the maiden's maiden name is Jiao, the maiden's name is osmanthus, married into the husband's family for eleven years, only has one daughter, ten years old this year, this spring, the husband of the folk girl suffered from a disease, and spent a lot of money seeking medical advice, and finally failed to save it, and left the maiden, mother and daughter died three days ago, as a result, my husband's bones were not cold, and the uncle of the husband's family called the door, saying that this house is the ancestral property of the Chen family, and it must be taken back. ”

"How can it be!" Li Xiangjun said angrily, "Is there any royal law here." ”

"This must be General Li Xiangjun, right?" A Confucian scholar stepped forward to make a gesture.

"It's General Ben." Li Xiangjun looked at Confucian with an unkind expression, "Who are you?" ”

"In Shimoyanagi Jiaxiang, he is a member of Nanzhili." Confucian Sheng said lightly, "General Li, this is a family matter of our Liu family, as a general who aided Xuzhou, you don't seem to be able to control it, right?" ”

"That's not for sure." Li Xiangjun said coldly.

is not a prince of Qin, Li Xiangjun does not have so many scruples.

After speaking, Li Xiangjun asked Jiao Guihua again: "Jiao Guihua, are you willing to join the army?" ”

Jiao Guihua doesn't look like a strong person, but in fact, she is not a suitable candidate for a female soldier, but in order to save people, Li Xiangjun can't take care of those, and it's a big deal to match her to the town soldiers.

Jiao Guihua was stunned when she heard this, and asked in amazement: "A folk girl can also join the army?" ”

"Yes." Li Xiangjun said solemnly, "As long as you nod your head, you will be a member of the Xuzhou Women's Barracks." ”

"But, but ......" Jiao Guihua looked back at her daughter kneeling at her feet, and said with some embarrassment, "What should the daughter of the people's daughter do?" ”

"They can be taken to the barracks and placed separately."

Li Xiangjun also went out in order to save people.

Anyway, it's just a matter of having one more small mouth, which is easy to do.

Li Xiangjun is born with a chivalrous heart.

Jiao Guihua was overjoyed when she heard this, and nodded and said, "General, the people are willing to join the army!" ”

"Okay, then you are now a member of the Xuzhou Women's Barracks." Speaking of this, Li Xiangjun said to Liu Jiaxiang again, "Liu Xiu is right?" Jiao Guihua is now a female soldier under the command of General Ben, and her business is General Ben's business, you say, can General Ben take care of the Jiao family's family affairs now? ”

Liu Jiaxiang, as a student, naturally knows about the women's barracks.

In the past few days, the first page of the Huangming Times has been talking about recruiting soldiers every day, including female soldiers.

What's more, the affair between Li Xiangjun and the saint is almost an open secret.

Now that Jiao Guihua has become a member of the women's barracks, and there is Li Xiangjun behind her to support her, it is not something that a small Liu family can handle.

"If you can manage it, the general will naturally manage it."

"General Li, please see Liang, let's go."

At that moment, Liu Jiaxiang motioned to his uncle to put down his belongings, and then left Jiao Guihua's house in a gloomy manner.

The neighbors watching outside the door immediately applauded, and they all gave Li Xiangjun a thumbs up, which made Li Xiangjun a little embarrassed.

At that moment, Li Xiangjun left two border soldiers to help Jiao Guihua take care of the funeral, and when she finished taking care of the funeral, she took her daughter to Wuyi Lane to find her, and then left with Ge Nenniang and others.

It's just that Li Xiangjun herself didn't expect that these two little things would spread quickly in a short period of time, and make her a celebrity in Nanjing City again, but this time, Li Xiangjun no longer relied on the posture of the country and the city, but on her chivalrous heart, and she couldn't see the ugliness of the world.

……

At the same time, the Wei Mansion on the right bank of the Qinhuai River has turned the sky upside down.

The main gate, which is rarely opened, has been opened, and Ma Mingluo, deputy director of the Internal Affairs Office, led a few soldiers and a team of Beijing soldiers to enter the room from the main gate.

Wei Guogong Xu Hongji was not there.

The person who received Ma Mingluo was Xu Hongji's eldest son, Xu Yinjue.

"Master Ma." Xu Yinjue said with a bitter face, "Please also be sure to raise your hand and give a fair price." ”

"How could this official covet your Xu family's mansion." Ma Mingluo smiled and said, "So this kind of thing is definitely not going to happen, but you really think about it?" ”

"I've figured it out." Xu Yinjue sighed, "I can only offset the fields and the house, and even the jewelry of the ladies in the house is not left, and all of them are collected." ”

Between the words, you can faintly hear the cursing of the female dependents.

Ma Mingluo asked expressionlessly, "How much has it all added up?" ”

Xu Yinjue said: "Not counting this big mansion, there are about more than 3.5 million taels." ”

"Only 3.5 million? That's a far cry. Ma Mingluo said, "With the house, it is four million taels at the top of the sky, and the top ten nobles in Nanjing, counting your Xu family and the Zhu family of Baoguo Gong have a thick family background, if your two families can only make up four million taels, then it will definitely not be able to make up 30 million taels." ”

"Master Ma." Xu Yinjue almost didn't hold back and scolded.

This house was built by my Xu family for more than ten generations, and the silver spent before and after was more than 10 million?

If it is based on the market price, the two gardens in the east and west are worth millions, not to mention the magnificent mansion in the middle, you Ma Mingluo actually only gave 500,000 taels? Is your conscience eaten by dogs?

What's more, these 30 million taels, why do you want my Xu family to take the lead?

"Not happy? It doesn't matter if you're not happy, I don't think anyone else can buy your house. ”

After Ma Mingluo finished speaking, he stood up and left, the huge Wei State Mansion, except for his Internal Affairs Mansion, who else would dare to buy it?
