Li Dan slapped the scabbard on his waist hard: "I have a knife, who of them dares to talk nonsense?"

Ah Lian gave him a grimace when he heard this, Li Dan smiled and rolled up his arrow sleeves and said, "Sister, wait a minute, watch me draw a picture for you to see!" After speaking, he went into the house, looked for paper, and sharpened ink.

When he was licking the pen, he suddenly heard someone talking outside, and then Yutong came to the door and said, "Childe, the guest is gone, and the second master of my family has sent someone to invite you to the front hall."

"Oh, okay, here!"

Li Dan thought to himself that this Xu Tong's enthusiasm was really not the time, and he wanted to draw "Listening to the Creek" (which could not be painted eavesdropping, so he changed the painting to listen to the water) with the sketch he had just made.

He thought for a moment, wrote down four sentences on the paper, and then ran to the door.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to keep a picture, but it seems that I don't have time, so I had to write four sentences in a hurry. Next time, I'll draw it for my sister, that painting is not well written, see laugh, see laugh!"

"You're done?" A-Ying was surprised.

"Hey, I'm still making excuses when I can't get home!" Ah Lian said, jumping into the house.

"Well, next time I'll draw it, it's not good to keep the elders waiting." Li Dan took two steps and turned back, took off the sketch on the splint and handed it over: "Sister take it first, it's better to talk than nothing." After speaking, he lowered his head and fled in a hurry.

"What are you going to let me keep?" A-Ying looked down, and was so frightened that she immediately hid behind her, seeing that there was no one else in the yard now, her heart was beating badly, but she couldn't help but take it out and look at it twice, but the more she looked at it, the more she liked it

。 "Hey, where's Ah Lian?" She suddenly remembered, and hurriedly ran into the house, and saw Ah Lian in a daze at a piece of Fu Chunyuan book paper on the table. "What are you looking at, like this?" She walked around the table and took a look, and was stunned.

It's a poem.

Yujietang front peony medicine,

Pink makeup swayed and smiled.

Listen to the flowing water,

It is difficult to travel far away.

The steps of this flower hall are two pieces of white marble collected from nowhere, so the plaque of this flower hall is inscribed with the words "Jade Ladder Hall", and the poem and the scenery are opposite.

Li Dan has been studying calligraphy and painting with Han An, and his original intention is to learn the elegance and agility of the two kings.

After leading the soldiers, he wrote handwritten orders and gradually developed some rigid bones, so this cursive work written was different from that of ordinary scholars and literati, and it had a heroic flavor in it.

"Hey, what's in my sister's hand? Show me." Ah Lian is a big ghost, and at a glance he found Ah Ying holding a piece of paper in his hand behind his back. Before she reached out to take it, her sister jumped away as if she was on fire.

"No, nothing, just a piece of paper." Ah Ying still wanted to resist, but Ah Lian had already caught up, and reached out for a "kitten brawl fist" to hit the soft spot on her sister's waist, Ah Ying Gege smiled and fled.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a tall figure about to come in, and the two girls immediately stopped, holding back their laughter and blessing in a proper manner.

"What are you two doing, messing around again?" Xu Bu's two eyes swept back and forth on the two of them, and he saw that his little niece was giving him a look behind Ah Ying's back, so he deliberately made a straight face: "What's behind it?" Show it to me."

Ah Ying didn't dare to disobey, so she had to bite her lip, lowered her head and shyly picked up the piece of paper and offered it.

Xu Bu frowned and looked at the underworld on it, not understanding why the girls were fighting for this. He looked at the girls suspiciously, reached out and took them, and then dropped them again.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, he took two steps back to look at the drawing on the paper, then at his daughter, and muttered, "What a miracle!"

When Ah Lian heard this, she ran up and pulled down the uncle's arm and looked. "Hey, it turns out that he drew my sister! Draw it like!"

"Who is he?" Xu Bu didn't react.

"Li Sanlang!" Ah Lian suddenly pursed her lips and was unhappy: "This person is not honest!"

"How?"

"He promised me to paint, but he said he didn't have time to run away, so he wrote a few words there. Who knows that he is eccentric, and he doesn't know when to secretly

Draw one for my sister!" Ah Lian complained.

"Oh, and the words? Where is it? I'll see."

Xu Bu followed Ah Lian to the table and picked up the painting and looked, but Ah Ying didn't leave, didn't stay, and couldn't wait to get into the corner immediately.

"Hahaha......!" Xu Bu suddenly laughed, looked back at his daughter, and deliberately said loudly, "It turned out to be a poem. Well, good poetry, good deeds, good poems, good deeds too! Haha......!"

Her father's joke made A-Ying more and more at a loss: "It's just a poem, what's so joyful?" She said deliberately.

"Well, the words are good! It's quite ......." Xu Bu wanted to say, "It's quite a bit of Tang Taizong's style", but the words came to his mouth and swallowed back.

"Okay? Shouldn't Uncle put this on the wall as well?" Ah Lian asked without losing any time.

"Yes, that makes sense! When the guests came, they saw that my house was handwritten by Li Nannan, and it was specially made!" He deliberately emphasized the word "specialized" and looked at his daughter.

Li Dan did not have a table word, so he only signed the word "Dan" after the year number, month and day, but did not carry a private seal.

Fortunately, there was a "Southern" chapter engraved in the bag on his body for the convenience of doing things, so he used it, Xu Bu mistakenly thought that this was Li Dan's expression, so he was commensurate with it.

"Oops, Daddy......!"

Seeing his daughter's annoyed appearance, Xu Bu laughed happily. He decided to tell the second brother immediately, it seems that the two children have a good impression of each other, and they can let the labor matchmaker go to Li's house to walk around.

From Ji Ruliu's words are now very suitable for Li Dan, he and Xu Tong borrowed a carriage and left Xu's mansion, and went directly to the county government to see Master Fan.

After listening to his intentions, Master Fan also felt that this was better, so the two called the chief bookkeeper Lin Yutang and discussed with him first.

Then Master Lin personally drew up a notice, and handed it over to the scriveners to copy 30 copies on the same day, and printed it and posted it.

The notice said that the bandits in the lake in Junshan Lake were merged, and the county's inspection sub-division learned that it would take the opportunity to attack it with the township, and at present hundreds of prisoners have been captured safely, and the military and civilians have been informed by Texiaoyu.

Coincidentally, at noon the next day, there was a report from the inspector of the inspection sub-division guarding the water gate, saying that the Ankeimata inspection of the Fenggang inspection sub-division escorted the materials seized by Junshan Lake to the Piwako wharf.

Li Dan is overjoyed, this is really too timely! He personally went to the dock to greet him, looked at several boats of supplies with a deep draft, and pulled An Lao Er with some anxiety and asked in a low voice, "All the things that should be sent to the white horse have been delivered?"

In the letter, he told them in advance that the seized property would be given to the county in 20%, half of the armor would be divided, and all the carriages and horses would be sent to Zhuangzi.

Now Han Jinguo (Han Si) has brought a sentry to take over the manor, and Wannian Wuxiao also wrote that the purchase of land is going very well, and the county government can settle all the formalities clearly this month.

So he will soon face a lot of capital, manpower, livestock and vehicle needs.

"Don't worry, Saburo, everything is in order!" An Qingmata has a brother named An Qinghu who is now staying with Sun Xun in Wannian, so he knows that Li Dan has to buy hundreds of acres of land over there, so he is particularly concerned about his development.

"What about the captives?" Li Dan asked again, "Didn't you bring back hundreds of people?"

"There aren't enough boats, so I've brought over a hundred people, and half of them are in Maple Harbor, so I want to ask if you want to send them all?"

"Huh?" Li Dan looked at him, "......What do you mean?"

"Some brothers want to ask, can we ...... those women?"

"No, you can't!" Li Dan immediately shook his head: "Go back and tell Zhenfu:

First, the inspection division and group training are our regular team, discipline must be strict, if you want a wife, you have to take credit, and you can't pick a daughter-in-law if you don't have enough credit.

Even if it's enough, you can't force it, and you have to ask the woman to be willing. If you already have a doll, you can't leave it alone, you have to follow it and raise it together.

Second, the distribution of women gives priority to the brothers of the patrol division and the regimental training, then the militia district team, and then the village warriors.

There is no credit point between the militia and the village warriors, if there is a woman who likes and the other party is willing

, you can pay for it, but if you have a doll, you must also redeem and raise it together, and you can't throw it away! Do you know these two things?"

"Clear!" An Qingmata replied with a straight chest.

As he was talking, Master Lin and Chief Xiao of the Bingfang, who had received the news from Li Dan, both came, and both of them were smiling happily, and Master Lin rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, this is too timely, the people in the city will be happy for a few days!"

"Yes, it's a great thing for the people's morale and morale!" Director Xiao said with a thumbs up.

"Lao Xiao, I have to trouble you to receive the captured weapons and armor, and now you have doubled the amount you allocated to me before!" Li Dan said half-jokingly. asked why the house didn't come, and Master Lin told him that he had sent someone to invite him, and it was estimated that he would arrive soon.

When the seized supplies were pulled into the city by horse-drawn carts, onlookers were on both sides of the street, and everyone believed that they had really won the battle as stated in the proclamation, and that they had taken out the nest of the lake bandits.

This batch of weapons made the whole city put down the bamboo guns and replaced them with real guys.

According to the agreement reached with the county, Li Dan delivered to Master Fan 6,000 taels of silver (mainly gold, silver, coins, and a small number of tickets) and 400 stones, rice, noodles, beans and other grains;

Handed over to the Prefectural Citizens' Investment Committee 1,200 taels worth of gold and silver, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, jewelry, and jewelry, as well as some fine furniture.

"This is the first battle, it's worth it, I think the money is too worthwhile!"

So the topic in the county suddenly became when the funding committee began to distribute dividends to each family, and many people who did not donate at the beginning fell on their feet, regretting why they were so timid that they didn't dare to pay for it?

Behind these voices, An Qingmata had quietly led twenty members of the Chashan Society to transfer several heavy black lacquered wooden boxes to the White Horse Temple, and handed them to Song Xiaoniu who was waiting outside the manor in a carriage.

Song Xiaoniu also took a group of brothers from the Chashan Society, transferred these wooden boxes to the Qian family manor (under the name of Xiao Qian), and then hid them in a cave.

These wooden chests contained more than 30,000 taels of gold and silver, as well as a handful of jewelry, all of which were riches from that cellar.

When the stepson won a big victory, and the neighbors came to congratulate him, Xiao Qian knew that he couldn't help but burst into tears, and his heart was full of pride.

She was even a little incredulous, these were the deeds of her stepson, who had been scolded by the family as a stubborn evil animal, and after listening to those praises, she incensed her deceased husband for several nights in a row, and burst into tears.

It's a pity that Shopkeeper Jia never came, perhaps because the war was blocked. Otherwise, let him bring the news back and let his father know how good it would be for his grandson! But the needle didn't care about her words:

"You think, the more battles and victories my brother's reputation is, the more it will spread, and now it may have spread to Ying Tianfu. Even if Shopkeeper Jia can't come, he will definitely hear about it!"

This girl is quite good at saying that Aunt Qian is very satisfied with this assumption.

"Big lady, someone is looking for you!" Someone called outside the door.

"Yo, who is this?" When she went out to take a look, she felt as if she had seen each other, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"The girl forgot, this is the Lao family, and they used to live quite close to us." Aunt An hurriedly introduced.

"Oh! That's where you matchmaker? I think of you!" The needle slapped her hands and remembered that she had seen her from the Gao family in the front yard.

"The eldest sister has a good memory, she still remembers it after so long." Mrs. Lao looked carefully with her good eyes, made sure that the other party was not Aunt Qian, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile:

"We are all participating in the 'Women's Meeting' of Mrs. Wu (the wife of Wu Xuanye, the head of the Wu family). I was commissioned to take a look, the day before yesterday I said that I would sew 800 first aid kits, and your government recognized 200 numbers, how are you doing now, and how much has been completed?"

"Oh, I'm almost halfway done, but the white cloth for the cable ties doesn't seem to be enough, and I'm about to get another half."

Needle Er hadn't seen anything in the Li Mansion for many years, and she always looked at the window of Aunt Qian's house to know that she was not just doing such a thing, so she was funny in her heart, and deliberately asked, "Lao

Would you like to come into the house and sit down?"

Her question attracted Aunt Qian's attention, and after a brain teaser, Xiao Qian immediately said in the house: "It turned out to be Aunt Lao, an old neighbor for many years, and she is not an outsider who has run errands for the Li family, so please come in and have a cup of tea."

"Then, the old woman is welcome!" The labor matchmaker happily entered the house, first said goodbye to Xiao Qian's family, and then sat down on the embroidery pier brought by the needle, pointed to the work in Aunt Qian's hand and said in surprise: "How can the lady do this herself?"

"Brother Dan is doing things in front, and I, as a stepmother, should support it, right?"

"Eh, it's not good to hand it over to someone else, so why bother you to do it yourself?"

"One more person, one more strength, what Brother Dan said is true. The eldest lady has bad eyesight, so she still helps with this and that? What is it for me to sit at home and do some needlework?"

"But ......, you are San Lang's adoptive mother, and San Lang is now a big hero with thousands of Erlang and the lake bandits!"

"My son, I don't know yet? His naughtiness is enough for those lake bandits to drink a pot!"

Mrs. Lao laughed when she heard her say this, took the tea poured by the needle and held it in the palm of her hand, thought about it and said:

"If you want to talk about our brother's ability, I don't think he has fully used it, he will have a great future in the future, not to mention that he is also a figure who can be a governor and a general!"

"Oh? What does my aunt think?" The first time someone commented on Li Dan like this, Aunt Qian was furious, and immediately stopped the work in her hand for a while and listened to her carefully.

"It's not my wife's eyes, my eyes are ......, cough! Don't mention it. This is what Mr. Chang You, the head of the Xu family, said!" Xu Bu is often you, and he is the only one among the brothers who has a reputation for showing talent, so Mrs. Lao calls him Mr.

"Really?" Aunt Qian was surprised: "Is he very familiar with Brother Dan?"

"This nature." Mrs. Lao immediately said:

"I heard that San Lang went to his house for a banquet a few days ago, and after leaving, the three brothers of the Xu family praised each other, and Mr. Chang You said this to others after that. If he is acquainted with Saburo, lady, how can he say such a thing?"

"Perhaps, Dan Ge'er is polite, or the words are appropriate?"

Lao Pozi smiled very seriously: "Alas, my lady, which elder did San Lang meet who was not polite and polite and spoke appropriately?"

"This is strange, why is Xu Changyou alone commenting on his brother like this?"

"I heard that Saburo taught his brother to do business during the banquet......."

"Well, it's possible. I have a lot of strange things in his head, and he often says that he can be the richest man in the county if he takes out any random one. But ......, there's no need to praise him like that, right?"

"Yes." Mrs. Lao agreed, but then said, "Actually, I think it was that poem that finally moved him."

"What poem?"

"It is said that San Lang waved his pen in the Xu Family Flower Hall before leaving, which is more powerful than Cao Zijian's seven-step poem!"

"Do you know how to write it?"

Mrs. Lao recited the song "Furong Ying under the Jade Ladder Hall", and then clapped her hands and said:

"Lady, you look amazing, right? Don't look at Saburo's past, which one is comparable to him in this county now? I didn't expect to be an all-rounder!

Do you know what Xu Yuanwai said? He said: If such a character can be my son-in-law, Xu will be willing to die! Lady, lady?"

Aunt Qian sat in front of her and was stunned.
