Chapter 277: The Finalization of the Second Marriage of the Upheaval
A few days later, the huge encirclement besieging Shuanglong Mountain was finally reduced to a minimum, and nearly 100,000 gendarmes successfully joined forces at the main peak of Shuanglong Mountain, but this encirclement and suppression operation was also a complete failure, because not a single horse thief was found.
This operation lasted for more than half a month, more than 400,000 troops were dispatched, and the only battle that could be called a battle was the clash between the gendarmes and the Central Army, and more than 3,000 people were killed and wounded in that day's battle. But this failed bandit suppression operation may not be without benefits to the Ruiguo Imperial Court, because Hang Xiao had already secretly set up four mixed cavalry battalions, and this time the bandits originally wanted to empty the horse thieves on the mountain and then occupy the mountain of Shuanglong Mountain steadily. Through more than ten days of suppressing bandits, the imperial court has a very systematic and comprehensive understanding of the topography of Shuanglong Mountain, the bandit suppression troops on the mountain have not yet withdrawn, and the two mixed cavalry battalions have been stationed on both sides of Shuanglong Mountain, occupying favorable terrain, building a variety of solid permanent fortifications, and firmly holding the traffic artery between the two peaks of Shuanglong Mountain as the lifeline of transportation.
The newly formed two cavalry mixed battalions belonged to the left guard sequence of the Central Army, and were dedicated to guarding Shuanglong Mountain, that is, replacing the two battalions of the original right guard, and taking back the territory of Shuanglong Mountain to the imperial court.
After the bandit army descended the mountain, Hang Xiao also returned to the dynasty with Yulin Wei's division, although this operation was relatively chaotic, but it cannot be said that the departments did not work hard, so the appropriate reward should still be meaningful. When rewarding, Mo Cong was also urgently summoned back to the capital, but Hang Xiao still fulfilled his original promise and rewarded Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping with one thousand taels of gold and one jade pagoda each. Mo Cong happily took it home, and everyone in the Mo Mansion was happy.
Since the training of recruits on the side of the Flying Dragon Battalion had begun for more than a month, and all kinds of training had been on the right track, Mo Cong simply stayed in the capital for a few more days to take a look at Mo Yu's new business. Moyu is indeed a talent for business. After a month, the five stores of Kung Fu have been opened and all of them are booming, and the five young men are taking care of their business under the unified management of Moyu, and they are all in good order. Now that the young men are independent, they also have time to spare, and the process of practicing is naturally growing rapidly, and all of them have reached the realm of the fourth and fifth layers.
"You guys are doing business in this storefront, didn't the people from the Qinglong Gang come to collect protection money?" Mo Cong asked Xiao Dongzi.
"I really came, but then I saw that I was taking care of the business, and then I said a few kind words and left. Xiao Dongzi said.
"Yes, then you really have face. Mo Cong smiled.
"It's not about General Mo's face. Xiao Dongzi also smiled, "General Mo." When do you take us out to practice, otherwise I am afraid that we will not be able to practice only kung fu without experience. ”
"When you were in the restaurant, you were in contact with everyone, and now you often go to various places to purchase goods, so you should have more experience, right?" Mo Cong said.
"It's okay in this regard, mainly... Hey, I can't tell, I mean I want to follow General Mo around and learn some practical kung fu. Xiao Dongzi said.
"Okay, then you can send a few people with me when I go back to the Wyvern Camp this time. I'll train you well. Mo Cong nodded.
Turning the corner of the business, Mo Cong and Chen Ruoping came to Shangpinxiang Restaurant to meet Moyu once, Chen Ruoping said to her face the reason why she couldn't marry Moyu, and persuaded her to find someone to marry quickly.
"So what do you do yourself? Are you going to never marry for the rest of your life?" Mo Yu understood Chen Ruoping's situation, but also felt that she had been too lonely and miserable like this.
"I ......" Chen Ruoping glanced at Mo Cong and said with a red face, "I'm actually already his person." It's just that our relationship can't be made public, so it's okay to keep it like this. ”
"What?" Mo Yu was so surprised that she couldn't speak, the man in her heart had become a man's woman. This feeling is indeed awkward and difficult for Mo Yu to accept.
"So, I've entrusted myself with my life, and Sister Mo can't waste time on me, really... Let's find someone to marry. Chen Ruoping said.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Mo Yu's sustenance in his heart had completely collapsed, and he muttered to himself.
"I think Sister Mo can consider my eldest brother, you two are very good people, both cook very well, and both have a strong personality, I think it's quite appropriate for you to marry my eldest brother. "Mo Cong began to match as soon as he had the opportunity.
"Your eldest brother ......" Mo Yu was confused, "General Mo, why don't I marry you!" she turned her head to look at Mo Cong and said in shock.
Chen Ruoping and Mo Cong were suddenly messy in the wind.
"It's... Why?" Mo Cong was very speechless, what does this matter matter to me?
"Because I like heroic generals, but General Chen can't, and I don't like other generals, and in this way, General Chen and I can be regarded as a family, so I ......," Mo Yu said incoherently.
"You don't have a good relationship with her now, and you don't have a deep sisterhood, no... You really don't have to marry me. Mo Cong said.
"But I have to find someone to marry, instead of marrying someone else, it is better to marry you, so that is the real family, what kind of family is it to marry someone else?" Mo Yu said.
"Persuade her, she's gone mad. Mo Cong looked at Chen Ruoping.
"Sister Mo finally wants to get married, how can I persuade her?" Chen Ruoping was speechless.
"Is she going to get married, she has to follow you, is she going where you go?" Mo Cong was even more speechless.
The three of them argued for most of the day, and Mo Yu's determination was very resolute, that is, to marry Mo Cong and become a family with Chen Ruoping in this way.
"If you really can't do it, you can marry it, anyway, you have a lot of beautiful women outside, you don't have to worry about lice if you have more debts, and it's nothing for you to have one more or less. After Moyu went out to do business, Chen Ruoping said.
"I'll talk to my sister about what she means. Mo Cong said.
That night, Mo Cong urgently discussed this sudden matter with Mo Xiao and Mo Min, Mo Xiao had already heard it when he was in the restaurant, so he was not very surprised, but Mo Min looked stunned and incredulous.
"Is that okay?" she said, speechless.
"Anyway, she didn't take a fancy to me, but she went wherever Brother Chen went. Mo Cong said.
"Miss Mo is indeed a little crazy about Chen Ruoping. Mo smiled and sighed.
"What to do, hurry up and get an idea. Mo Cong asked.
"Then you can marry, Sister Mo is quite pitiful anyway, if this can satisfy her wishes, I have no opinion. Mo Min said.
"Okay. Then I'll choose a day to notify some friends to come to the wedding, after all, it's so lively when I marry you, although this time it's not a big deal, but it can't be without one. Mo Cong nodded.
After setting the matter, Mo Cong began to ask Steward Mo to prepare for the wedding, and when Steward Mo heard that he was going to prepare for the wedding again, he was a little confused and asked Mo Cong whose girl he was marrying.
"It's the ink girl from Shangpinxiang Restaurant, um... This time it's just a small fight, I say the names of a group of people, you write them down, and then write out the post. At that time, there is no need to receive congratulatory gifts or anything, and it can be solved by dozens of tables. Of course, the sedan chair that should be prepared still has to be prepared, although it is a small fight, but it cannot be deserted, our house must be festive and peaceful. Mo Cong said.
"It turned out to be the young grandmother's family, it was really close to the kiss and even closer, don't worry, young master, I must be properly prepared to be lively, although it is not as big as marrying the young grandmother. But definitely to the bride's satisfaction. Steward Mo said.
After explaining to Steward Mo, Mo Cong went to the backyard of Shangpinxiang Restaurant to talk to Mo Yu and said that Mo Min agreed. Mo Yu was a little impulsive in the afternoon, but now that she calmed down, she was suddenly embarrassed and embarrassed to face Mo Cong. I don't know what to say.
"Sister Mo, you have to think about it, don't send out my post when the sedan chair is ready, and you won't marry, then it's a big joke. Mo Cong looked at Mo Yu's expression and said speechlessly.
Mo Yu blushed and didn't speak.
"If you don't decide, then I'll go back and tell the butler not to be busy with some things. So as not to embarrass both parties. Anyway, the news hasn't gotten out yet, and there is still room for redemption. Mo Cong said.
"I'll marry, I'll think about it. Mo Yu said with a red face.
"Okay. Then I'll go back, the initial date I set with the housekeeper is ten days later, you see whether this day is too hasty or too slow, anyway, it depends on your meaning. Mo Cong said.
"It's good that you decide, I'm okay with that. Moyu said.
The two talked about the marriage for a while, and Moyu told Mo Cong about the business again. The five businesses had already started and were on the right track, but the silver only cost less than 1,500 taels, and the remaining more than 28,000 taels of silver tickets Mo Yu took out and returned it to Mo Cong.
"Why did you spend this bit of silver?" Mo Cong asked in surprise as he took the silver ticket.
"Your eldest brother said that the guys have just started to try their hands, and the business is not easy to open too big, and it is best to do small business for a few years before opening a big business, I think this is also the case, so I deliberately controlled the cost, the façade is not big and all are rented, adding up to less than two hundred taels of silver, the goods purchased from five places add up to about eight hundred taels of silver, and the remaining five hundred taels are used as the usual miscellaneous purchases, Labor and other expenses, 1,500 taels of silver is enough, I really have silver here when I can't turn around, anyway, we will be a family in the future, and we don't need to be so clear. Moyu said.
"You and my eldest brother are really ...... They are all people who are budget-conscious and can get by. Mo Cong sighed as he listened.
"Why are you like this, I'm going to marry you, why do you still say such things?" Mo Yu said with a red face.
"Well, I'...... I haven't gotten used to it for a while, so I won't talk about it in the future. Mo Cong also felt a little funny, he always felt that Mo Yu and Mo Xiao were the best match in his mind, and he unconsciously had a bit of habitual thinking, and directly forgot that the fiancée in front of him was already his fiancée.
After finalizing the marriage with Moyu, Mo Cong rushed back to ask Steward Mo to write a post, and the next morning it was sent out like snowflakes, and the little servants all rode horses to many mansions in the capital to send wedding cards. The family was busy here, and Mo Cong took Mo Min and the four maids to the Flying Dragon Camp, and when he left, he told the young men not to go to the Flying Dragon Camp to find himself for the time being, and wait for the marriage here to settle down. The young men also knew that Moyu was going to marry Mo Cong, and they were so happy that they said that they would be a family in the future, and they would be regarded as Mofu's little servants in the future, and there would be opportunities to go out together.
After all the things in the capital were finalized, Mo Cong took Mo Min and the others to the Flying Dragon Camp, and when they arrived at the Flying Dragon Camp to settle Mo Min and the others, Mo Cong explained some military affairs to Xiong Bin, and then went to the Leopard Camp. He is now the deputy commander of the left guard, and he can't just stay in the Wyvern Camp all day long, and the other battalions have to go around.
When he arrived at the leopard camp, Mo Cong's Lei Leopard comrades-in-arms naturally met with fists and feet, although Lei Leopard was a little disappointed that he did not become the deputy commander, but this emotion quickly passed, after all, Mo Cong's ability was there and had to be convinced, and Mo Cong came to be the deputy commander to give the left guard more cheers than himself as the deputy commander, so he had already figured it out when he drank and discussed that night.
