Chapter 50: The Army

Ouyang has a lot of things to do, it's not good to leave Beijing for too long, this time he sent Daiyu away, and it took half a day to secretly meet with the secret agents in charge of intelligence in various places, the information was sorted out and packed, and some accumulated problems were solved neatly, and a series of plans discussed with Kangxi and the think tanks of the Qing Dynasty were conveyed, and he took his two sons and little daughters, and his wife to walk around in a carriage, looked at the spring scenery in the wild, and went back.

Zhiyun took Hongyang and Gengen to the Floating City, as for Honghao, even if he was somewhat reluctant, he grew up in the end and was not as playful as Hongday, so he naturally had to follow Ama back to the capital.

As for Zhiyun's precious nephew Lan Jue, this time is really eye-opening, since he followed Zhiyun and his wife to this world, he was entrusted to He Qing by Ouyang, and was thrown by He Qing to his own ordnance factory to 'supervise', saying that it was 'overseer', in fact, it was impossible to really let him run to point fingers who didn't understand ordnance at all, but just arrange a place for him to polish it.

He Qing has now taken the top prize and made a colt again, but he is still responsible for ordnance production, and his main responsibilities remain the same. The horses of the Jing Dynasty are not quite the same as most of the horses in ancient times, under normal circumstances, the ruler has great restrictions on the power of the horses, but the situation of the Jing Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty is slightly similar, not only is there no restriction on the horses, but also because the horses are royal people, no matter what they do, others have to look up to a few times, this year, the development of his ordnance factory developed by a small boiler workshop, can be more than ten times faster than before.

The faster and faster his career develops, the more inconspicuous it is naturally not as inconspicuous as before, and the strength of the guards cannot be so-so, so the sergeants guarding the gate in the ordnance factory are also selected by Ouyang from the elite soldiers at hand.

When He Qing sent Lan Jue over, he didn't say his identity, only that he was a recruit, and he sent it to adapt first, although it was not an army here, but the big guy still lived according to the habits of the previous army in the army, and it was almost the same. As a result, as soon as Lan Jue arrived with them, he knew exactly what it was to suffer-

Every day when it was still dark, he was picked up and trained, eating was the same as robbing, taking a bath was a combat bath, and he was woken up by the sirens such as 'enemy attack' from time to time in the middle of the night, saying what kind of 'drill', compared to these, those housekeeping and the like are more torturous, he is the young master of Guarjia Mansion, and there are people waiting for him on weekdays, where have he washed his clothes and folded quilts? Now it's in a hurry, and it's being criticized every day as a negative example......

It's only been half a month, after Lan Jue followed Ouyang back to Beijing, he began to bring more awe than before when he saw the eyes of his uncle, I heard that the guards under his uncle were tossing like this every day, ten years like a day, even the new army on the side of the Xishan camp did not have so many rules as him.

However, Lan Jue did not give up, but made up her mind to become a soldier. As soon as he came back, he pestered Ouyang to make a fuss, and he had to ask Ouyang to help persuade his mother.

Ouyang just smiled, glanced up and down at his nephew, and saw that he was a little darker than before, and he had lost weight, but his body was good, and his mental condition was also very good, Ouyang was not a soldier, but he still felt that this little man was really talented, so he simply said hello and threw him directly into the Shenji recruit training camp on the other side of Xishan.

After another two days, the pinch marks on Huizhu's neck gradually disappeared, and Su Xin saw that Huizhu had been reluctant to mention the origin of the scars, so she had to rot the doubts in her stomach, but she also vaguely guessed eight out of ten, and she was secretly anxious. So I paid less attention to the things that Huizhu explained, although I also kept a heart, but in the end, I didn't care so carefully about what I had in my heart, so I didn't find out the reason for it for more than ten days.

As soon as May arrived, the weather became hotter, but fortunately, I lived in the floating city, so I didn't have to worry about the scorching heat.

On this day, the weather was still sweltering, the scorching sun was suspended in the air, all the blowers in the floating city were turned on, and the cold ice array in the room did not stop for a moment, just like that, Zhiyun walked out of the alchemy laboratory on the tenth floor of the mage tower, still with a body of sweat.

After running to take a bath and changing into a cool and breathable mage robe, Zhiyun exhaled and nested in his own room, asking October to get a bowl of iced sour plum soup to drink.

As soon as October persuaded Zhiyun not to be greedy for cold, and to add a little less ice, he heard July shouting: "Lord, the big * milk is here." ”

Zhiyun was stunned, blinked, and hurriedly greeted him in person.

Zhang Ruyan is still the same, not very old, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows have added a little frost, obviously she has worked hard to run the family business over the years.

When Zhang Ruyan saw that her sister-in-law was still a young girl, and her complexion was more prosperous than before, she was only wearing a simple robe at this time, her hair was still wet, and she didn't pull it, only tied it with a sky blue ribbon, and she didn't put on makeup, but her bearing was unusual, and she didn't show any lightness, and she was surprised, and her face also showed a touch of relief, it seems that Zhiyun is doing well in Yongwang's Mansion, and the royal daughter-in-law is really rare to be as free as her.

As she spoke, Zhiyun had already taken Zhang Ruyan back to the inner room, at this time Mama Cui was playing in the house with Gengen, Zhang Ruyan saw it, her eyes showed a smile unconsciously, and she hurriedly leaned over and hugged the cute round little girl to take a closer look, and took out the sachet prepared for the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago to put it on, "Hey, I haven't been pregnant all these years, compared to the stinky little in our family, I can't wait to have a few more girls now, so I don't have to grow up angry." ”

Zhiyun lowered her head and smiled, knowing that her sister-in-law was very resentful of her son's running away from home, so she didn't say much, just let her get a few more good dishes in October, and prepared mellow fruit wine, and entertained Ruyan for a good meal.

Although the dishes are all home-cooked dishes, they are very simple, but from the Enchanted Botanical Garden, the green vegetables cultivated with abundant magical elements, whether in taste or nutrition, are not comparable to ordinary food, and the food can really make people feel better, after this meal, Zhang Ruyan's face looks much better.

Subsequently, October served a plate of chilled fruit and served herbal tea, Zhiyun and Zhang Ruyan crooked on the bench, sitting and talking, Zhang Ruyan first took Zhiyun's hand and said something about what happened recently in Guerjia Mansion, and talked about it for half an hour, which brought to the point.

After taking a sip of herbal tea and suppressing the depression in her stomach, Zhang Ruyan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Lan Jue is also older, he really wants to be a soldier, although I don't want to, but I also know that the people are full of military merits, and your eldest brother doesn't object, how can I pull his hind legs, it's just that there is no need to follow the army to Tibet from the beginning, what kind of place is Tibet?" ”

"Generally, people with shallow knowledge don't know, but your sister-in-law and I know, it's not a good place to go. I heard that the water was boiled over there, and it looked very boiling, but when I drank it, it was just warm, and it was not opened at all, which lacked food and clothing, and in the army, it was inevitable to march and fight, he was a rich man, although our family did not say that he was pampered, but he had not suffered hardship, how could he stand it at first glance. ”

Zhang Ruyan frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Even if he really wants to be a soldier, in the past few months, Long Live Lord will send a military defense line in Henan and other provinces, and our Eight Banner Brothers will set up Manchuria, Zuo Ling, Defense, and Xiao Riding School Each has eight people, you see, we are not unrelated, arrange a Xiao Riding School for him, no big problem, and when he comes back from a few years of qualifications, he will not worry about not being promoted, in these places, there is no war, there is no danger, how good, now he should also say kiss, if he really goes to the battlefield, the woman listens, I don't know when I'll be able to come back, and I definitely don't want to, isn't that a delay? ”

Zhiyun listened to Zhang Ruyan's words, opened her mouth, and said in her heart: Didn't Lan Jue tell her family about going to Xishan? It's just that she hasn't had time to explain yet. Zhang Ruyan pinched the handkerchief, gritted her teeth and said: "Zhiyun, how much do you persuade him, if he really doesn't listen, my sister-in-law can't care so much, first catch him and break his legs, let him raise him for a year and a half, and then talk about it ...... sober up."

"Poof."

"Four Blessings?" Zhang Ruyan was stunned for a moment, and saw that her sister-in-law was full of smiles on her face, and she was annoyed for a while. The relationship between her and Zhiyun has always been good, and in correspondence over the years, Zhiyun never allowed her brother and sister-in-law to call her Sifujin in private, only by name, and she has been used to it over the years, only when she is annoyed, she will call her Sifujin.

Seeing Zhang Ruyan like this, Zhiyun coughed and said with a smile: "My good sister-in-law, don't be angry, Lan Jue is my own nephew, how can he let him suffer, the fourth master has arranged him in the Xishan Shenji Camp before, it is the new army led by the Long Live Lord, after Lan Jue, the future is not bad, you just put your heart in your stomach."

Zhang Ruyan was stunned for a moment, suddenly came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "That little rabbit cub, don't tell him Ama and Eniang about such a big thing......"

Zhiyun also shook his head, but when it was not good to add fuel to the fire, he quickly persuaded a few words, but fortunately, as long as Zhang Ruyan knew that her son would not go to Tibet, she felt much more comfortable, put her mind at ease, and happily chatted with her sister-in-law for a while before leaving the floating city and going home.

Sent away the sister-in-law, Zhiyun talked to Ouyang, that guy just came out of Changchun Garden Kangxi at this time, because I heard that the old eight were recovering from a major illness, and they were on the way to visit, recently the relationship between the two brothers has become hotter than before, in fact, it can't be said that since Ouyang came to this world, he hasn't had much trouble with the old eight, of course, at the beginning, in order to fight for the throne, various means were used a lot, but it was all a yang scheme, Yinxi saw it clearly, and he couldn't say that his fourth brother was not coming, as for Yinxi, That's a well-known good old man, good to all brothers, and the same is true for Yinzhen.
