After some excuses in Mifu, Zhang Xi finally led the two maidservants home.

There's no way, Mi Zhu said "the elder gives, you can't resign", and it's really rude to excuse yourself.

The atmosphere and etiquette of these years are like this, and Zhang Xi can't help it.

Fortunately, there are two, and fortunately there are two.

I really can't afford to raise it too much.

After a year, after buying various gifts and visiting around, the family has a savings of 40 yuan...... If it's really ten handmaidens, you can't really support it.

There is no place to live.

The rented house is only three rooms, one of which is still a firewood house..... In the middle of winter, you can't all ten people lay on the floor, right?!

After repeated refusals, Zhang Xi led two little girls who were smaller than Little Qibao and went home.

Along the way, Zhang Xi was sad and sighed.

The two little girls followed behind Zhang Xi timidly, and they didn't dare to come out.

Maids like them don't even have household registration, and life and death are all in the hands of their masters.

If you meet a good master, you can live a little better, but if you meet a grumpy master...... Well, the end speaks for itself.

Now that she has just been given to the new owner by the original owner, without knowing the temper of the new owner, the two little girls are naturally trembling and dare not say a word.

The road was dull, and Zhang Xi couldn't help it.

"Speaking of which..... What's your name?! ”

Zhang Xi, who was extremely bored, turned his head and asked the two maidservants.

The main thing is that there are two people behind him, and they don't say a word, they just walk with their heads down....... I feel a little chill in my back.

"Back to the owner..... The maid has no name. One of the little girls looked up slightly and said.

Zhang Xi was also stunned.

In these years, unless they are children of rich and noble families, most of the people have no names, either dogs or girls bark, and a call may be a lifetime.

"In that case, I'll give you a name!" Zhang Xi said.

It can be said that Zhang Xi, an incompetent star named him, pondered all the way, from going out of the city to going home, five or six miles, and he didn't come up with a good name.

Seeing that he was about to get home, Zhang Xi said to the two little girls very irresponsibly, "You guys will call Xiaoqi and Xiaoba!" ”

The two girls glanced at each other, and no one dared to ask where Xiao Yi and Xiao Er went, and acquiesced to their new names.

When he got home, he handed over the two little girls to Xiao Qibao, and looked at Xiao Qibao to lecture the two little girls with the posture of a housekeeper, Zhang Xi looked at it and wanted to laugh slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Xiao Qibao is now Zhang Xi's servant and housekeeper, and newcomers who come later have to be handed over to Xiao Qibao...... This is the duty of the housekeeper, and Zhang Xi can't interfere.

It was still early, Zhang Xi went back to the room alone, planning what he was going to do tomorrow..... After thinking about it, I took a nap and slept until dinner.

As soon as she woke up, one of the little girls came in and asked Zhang Xi what she wanted for dinner...... Zhang Xi is still a little uncomfortable, and Xiao Qibao usually asks him.

Anyway, what's this girl's name...... Little Seven or Little Eight?!

Oh, it's called Xiaoqi...... You have to pay attention in the future, don't get confused with Shippo.

On this day, Zhang Xi enjoyed the treatment of the landlord class, and there were two girls waiting for him during the meal...... Then he was driven to the kitchen by Zhang Xi, who was not used to it, to eat by himself.

In fact, from the beginning, when there were only two people in this family, Zhang Xi and Xiao Qibao, Zhang Xi was not used to this kind of life.

In Zhang Xi's opinion, there are only two or three kittens at home, why do you have to be so clear, so much senseless attention, you can sit and eat together.

But on this point, Xiao Qibao insisted on disagreeing, saying that there should be rules at home.

The servant and the master were eating at the same table, and when they were seen by outsiders, they would only say that Yingchuan Zhang did not understand etiquette, and Zhang Xi would be looked down upon. It doesn't matter what you say about being embarrassed, as a housekeeper, you must not let the Zhang family be embarrassed or anything.

So from the beginning, Xiao Qibao insisted on serving Zhang Xi for dinner.

Zhang Xi said that he couldn't say that Xiao Qibao, and he also knew that this was the rule of this era, and it was not something that he could easily change by himself, but Zhang Xi still had his own insistence after all.

The master and servant compromised with each other, Zhang Xi didn't want Xiao Qibao to serve him to eat, and Xiao Qibao didn't eat at the same table with Zhang Xi.

When it was time to eat, Zhang Xi was alone in the room eating, while Xiao Qibao was eating in the kitchen.

Originally, it was said that it was okay, but Zhang Xi didn't expect that there would be two more little girls today, and Xiao Qibao was stunned and sent the two little girls again...... The landlord class will not die if it tries to corrode the heart of the proletariat!

Hawkers, fortunately, Xiao Qibao didn't insist on sending Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba back again, Zhang Xi went to the kitchen to take a look after dinner, and found that the three Xiao were still eating together...... Zhang Xi felt a little unbalanced in his heart.

It's also strange to say.

Zhang Xi is twenty-one years old this year, and this age is ...... Don't have a wife?!

This is very unscientific.

You must know that Zhang Xi came through the soul, and the original owner of this body, in this era when it is common to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, has no wife at the age of twenty.

And in Zhang Xi's memory, there doesn't seem to be any memory of the family arranging family affairs for Zhang Xi...... It's good to have a wife to eat with.

Not quite understandable, but it's not always a bad thing.

I went back to the room alone and looked at the bamboo slips for a while...... This is a bamboo slip borrowed from Kou Feng, it's not a serious book, but it's not too serious, it's just a miscellaneous book.

There are miscellaneous books in these years, mainly recording some local experiences and the like, which is one of the few pastimes in this era.

After reading the book for a while, the night gradually fell, Zhang Xi blew out the lights, closed his clothes and fell asleep..... Save money on lamp oil.

Sleep until dawn.

When I got up and washed, it was still Xiao Qi who brought the basin or something...... This time, Zhang Xi did not refuse, just served a basin, and did not want to serve Zhang Xi.

By the way, how did Xiao Qi sleep, and what did Xiao Qibao and Xiao Ba do...... This kind of words of concern.

After learning that Xiao Qibao and Xiao Ba went to work in the vegetable garden behind the house, Zhang Xi didn't say much, said to Xiao Qi, and went straight to work.

Not long after I got to work, I was farting and chatting with the treasurer, and the unlucky Kou Feng came again.

"Brother, brother, please save me!"

This guy is becoming more and more alarmist in his speech.

"What are you trying to save you!" Zhang Xi glanced at Kou Feng angrily and said, "What's wrong with you?!" Don't babble all the time! ”

Now Zhang Xi speaks, unless it is a formal occasion or facing Shangguan, it is no longer like the way and tone of speech of people in this era.

It's too vernacular, in the words of this era, it's "rude".

And what about Kou Feng...... This goods were brought by Zhang Xi and were similar.

However, Kou Feng obviously didn't realize the changes in himself, and continued to babble, "Next month, the army will be disciplined, and I will ...... Oh, what a shame! ”

Yes, Zhang Xi understands what this product is worried about.

It's March soon, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the army is naturally going to start drilling.

And since there is practice, there will be discipline...... That is, activities such as military competitions.

It's not a real sword and gun fight, just look at the basic skills of each battalion in formation, marching, etc.

Don't underestimate the formation and marching, these two things are the most basic organizational ability of the army, and they are also the means to test the basic ability of a general.

And Kou Feng...... The soldiers were only recruited in February, but because the physical fitness of the soldiers was too poor, they had to be raised for a month, and the group of homeless people could barely pick up their weapons and just started training.

At this time, it must be a mess to engage in a march.

"Your army is full of new recruits, and it's not uncommon for you to be unfamiliar with the drills...... Why bother?! Zhang Xi ignored Kou Feng's complaint and said.

Indeed, soldiers who have only been trained for a month want them to become elite soldiers...... What do you want to do?!

Besides, Liu Bei is not an unreasonable person, he is an old soldier, can you not know that you are a new recruit? !

As long as Kou Feng's soldiers do not bomb the camp during the drill, no matter how bad the formation and march are, Liu Bei will not punish Kou Feng.

But Kou Feng didn't think so.

The young general has never really been on the battlefield, so he doesn't know that the battlefield is sinister...... Now all I have to think about is to perform well.

First, you can show off in front of the generals, and second, you can leave a good impression on Liu Bei, maybe it will be reused one day in the future? !

But Kou Feng really couldn't do anything about the three hundred old and weak soldiers.

After listening to Zhang Xi's words, he has been raising these soldiers for three meals a day for almost a month, but he looks a lot better, but these people are in a mess, and it takes half an hour to order the assembly, and many people still go to the school field to fight casually, looking like a rabble.

Kou Feng doesn't understand this matter of military training.

Don't say that Kou Feng doesn't understand, in fact, many generals don't understand it very well.

Many generals are practicalists, that is, they have worked their way up in the army.

If he has stayed in those disciplined troops, then he can draw a scoop according to the gourd, and according to his own experience, he can also bring out a group of disciplined soldiers.

If it was a messy army, or someone like Kou Feng who had no experience at all and no one to teach, he wouldn't have brought out any good soldiers.

In these days, military training is a secret that is not passed down by soldiers, and only those who have a serious family inheritance or are familiar with military books can know a little about the method of military training.

Kou Feng felt that he couldn't balance these messy big-headed soldiers, but for some reason he felt that Zhang Xi had a way.

Zhang Xi doesn't know how to train soldiers.

It's just that Kou is tightly entangled, and he runs three times a day to find Zhang Xi to cry..... Zhang Xi really had no choice, so with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, he went to Kou Feng's military camp to help.

Zhang Xi doesn't know how to train soldiers, he really can't, especially not the way of training soldiers in this era.

Zhang Xi only remembers the military training in high school and college.

Column the phalanx, take the right step, these Zhang Xi will still know.

As for the actual role of modern military training in ancient times...... This thing can make hundreds of floors on the Internet.

However, there is one thing that everyone still acknowledges: Modern military training is conducive to the establishment of organization and discipline.

Facing the enemy's spears and broadswords on the battlefield, it is difficult to say whether they will disperse in a hurry when life and death are at stake, but during the military parade, the neat queue phalanx is very shocking to look at.

Anyway, he helped Kou Feng fool this exercise, as for how to improve his actual combat ability in the future, this is not within Zhang Xi's consideration.
