"Father and uncles, please go back to the house to rest, the daughter will take care of her here, and besides, there is this sergeant to help, and Yutong is also ......." Xu Ying hung her head and whispered.

"How's that going to work? You're an unmarried girl......."

"Father, my daughter has made up ......her mind, please rest assured!"

Xu Bu was stunned, Xu Tong saw that this was already clear, and happily slapped his hands and said:

"A-Ying is the eldest sister in the family, and she has always been a good child who can make her own ideas, brother, don't worry! In this way, when Ah Yi returns from the letter, let him stay in this teahouse and be at his disposal at any time."

After speaking, he turned to Brother Mao: "Sergeant Mao, you have to be tired and stay outside the gate of this courtyard. No one else is allowed to enter or leave this small courtyard, how?"

Brother Mao nodded and said, "This is where the responsibility of the humble duty lies, and it is incumbent on me to do so!" It's just that the adults are disturbing your mansion here, and one person needs to go to the Metropolitan Inspection Department and deliver a message to Chief of Staff Zhao, so that he can know where the adults are going."

"Reasonable, reasonable!" Xu Tong turned around and beckoned to the housekeeper: "Butler, pass the word to everyone in the family, tonight's events will rot in my stomach, if someone chews his tongue and is easy to show, it will be his death!"

Then he turned to his entourage: "Ah ghost, you met Chief of Staff Zhao at the banquet, it is the yellow belt, you go to him to inform him of this, but you must avoid everyone talking to him alone. Remember?"

This ghost is very ugly, with a strange nose and fat lips, and I don't know why Xu Tongwei chose him as his entourage. At that moment, the ghost responded:

"The villain must talk to Lord Zhao alone, don't worry, master." After saying that, he arched his hands, shrunk his shoulders and went out of the crowd.

"Okay, since the second brother has already arranged the troops, let's not stay up here, pack up and go back to our own rooms, and there will be nothing to do tonight!" Xu Xian has nothing to do and is light.

Seeing him say this, and the second brother arranged it very properly, he didn't expect anything wrong, so Xu Bu asked the younger brothers to go back first, and asked the housekeeper to clean up the scene, and at the same time instructed him.

Then he called Yutong aside, and then told him carefully, and then he went back to his courtyard step by step.

Watching her father walk away at the door, Xu Ying turned around and came back, and just walked to the door of the house and hesitated again. Inside was an unmarried man, and he shouldn't have walked in like this, if it really caused gossip......

"Miss, or ......." Yutong saw her girl's hesitation, she looked at the courtyard, and was racking her brains to find a way, but Xu Ying had already stepped into the room.

Yutong was startled, turned around to look at the back of Brother Mao at the gate, and followed up.

"Tong'er, you move that pedal here." Xu Ying asked Yutong to move the pedal and put it in a suitable position, and then gently lifted his legs to it.

"It's so heavy!" Yutong frowned.

"Shhhhhh Xu Ying glared at her sternly and whispered, "Beware of waking him up. Go into the house and get him a quilt to cover, and now that the autumn is getting cold, it's not good to fall asleep like this!"

Listening to her instructions, Yutong wanted to persuade something, but looking at her expression, he had to make a grimace and tiptoe out.

Xu Ying thought about it, so she walked to the desk and opened the incense burner, carefully prepared the floor, selected a cloud sheet, scooped out the incense powder to be used with a incense spoon, gently poured it on the silver cloud sheet, and then smoothed, compacted, burned, and finally covered the furnace mountain.

The room slowly fills with a gentle, light atmosphere.

Yutong turned back and stuffed the clip in his hand to Brother Mao, so frightened that he hurriedly shook his hand. "This is mine, and you dare to fall to the ground?" Yutong glared.

Brother Mao's neck shrunk and he had to catch it, and before he could thank the family, Yutong had already entered the house.

Looking at the clamp covering Li Dan, Xu Ying sighed with satisfaction. She sat at the table with her cheeks crossed and looked at the young man, and at the soft beard that had just grown from his lips, she suddenly felt full of joy.

This man commanded thousands of his men to fight the enemy at such a young age, and was supported by the gentry of the whole city, who was not afraid of the enemy and calmly arranged to lead the opponent to jump into the trap step by step, but on the night of the repulsion of the enemy, he ran to show himself his heart.

Her heart was sweet, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was even stronger. Rain will be the lamp

He sat beside her and asked her softly, "Miss, are you going to sit like this for the night?"

"I just watched him for a night, and I still don't think I can see enough!" Xu Ying muttered shyly.

"Alas, if you marry in the future, it will take a lifetime, and it won't be at this time!" Yutong deliberately teased her, and was poked in the head by Xu Ying's finger.

"Hmph, you girl is laughing at me now, beware of finding a Lai Gebao (toad) in the future, see what you say at that time!"

"Oh, the young lady herself said such embarrassing things, and the maid made fun." Yutong pursed her lips, pulled Xu Ying's sleeve again, and said, "Anyway, you are going to send me out, why don't I ask for a reward now."

"What reward?"

Yutong pointed out the door: "If you point me out to someone else, that's him!"

"Huh?" Xu Ying looked out the door and widened her eyes in surprise: "Sergeant Mao? He's still a kid ......, so small!" As soon as she finished the first half of the sentence, she suddenly remembered that the person in the room was not very old, so she quickly changed her words.

"It's good, wow, honest, diligent, honest, and easy to bully!"

"You still want to bully people?"

"Do you want a man to bully me?" Yutong waved his hand: "Uncle can I say just now, men and women are the same ......!"

"Ahh What kind of uncle, I haven't ...... the eight characters yet." Xu Ying gently patted her on the leg, and as she spoke, she hid her face under her elbow.

The master and servant were accompanied by each other, whispering to themselves. In the middle, Ah Yi came back, and reported through the window that he had reported his safety to the mother of the Li family, and the other party was very grateful and so on.

As the night deepened, Xu Ying couldn't stay up, Yutong asked her to lie on the table and sleep for a while, closed the doors and windows, took a big piece to cover the girl, sat by the wall and leaned on the coffee table to nap, and fell asleep unconsciously.

In the middle, Xu Ying suddenly woke up, got up and walked to the couch, squatted down and wiped the sweat beads on Li Dan's forehead with a handkerchief. Li Dan slept very deeply, snoring loudly, and didn't notice that the girl was beside him at all.

Xu Ying looked at him like this for a long time, and sighed softly with satisfaction. She hoped that San Lang would wake up suddenly and then whisper to herself for a while, but she also thought distressedly that it would be better for him to sleep more.

Xu Ying got up and walked to the desk, spread out a piece of paper, gently grinded ink and licked the pen in the inkstone, and looked up to see that the cold moonlight cast the shadow of the window lattice on Li Dan, the shadows of the trees in the courtyard were swaying, and the crows were hoarse. Looking down and thinking about it, he wrote:

The autumn dew jade light flows, shining through the window to the iron clothes.

The fifth watch will go, and the twenty years will be good.

Where does the jackdaw perch, the geese have not yet returned.

The beloved's heart wishes, and the voice of the fight is urging.

put down the pen, thought about it again, sighed and folded the little poem, and came to Li Dan's side. Seeing that there was a cloth satchel on the ground beside him, he tipped the poem into it after a little hesitation.

Then he returned to the table and sat down, looking at him with his cheeks crossed, sometimes laughing, sometimes contemplative. Tired, lying on the table, unconsciously, groggy and falling asleep again.

Li Dan suddenly woke up. He seemed to have a dream, dreaming that he had returned to the Ming Dynasty, and he was shocked and said no, isn't there no Ming Dynasty anymore? In such a hurry, suddenly his body seemed to be suspended in the air.

He felt unsupported and immediately woke up. I opened my eyes hard, and everything seemed to be seen and familiar. It's just that this scent .......

He suddenly felt that he was covered with a sheet, and on it came incense and some kind of fragrance that he seemed to have smelled and couldn't remember the source but liked very much.

Then he saw his "magnum opus" on the wall. He made a "yo" sound, remembering that he should be in the Xu family, so ...... Slept all night at Xu's house?

This call woke up both Xu Ying and Yutong.

"Wake up?"

This kind inquiry made Li Dan's heart stir. "Uh, ah, why is my sister still here? Am I asleep?" Li Dan sat up incoherently.

"But no, Miss sat with her son for a night, you slept well, and you didn't thank anyone when you woke up!" Yutong's mouth came up quickly, Xu Ying's face turned red, and she was busy asking her to fetch water and green salt.

"Don't be busy, we've got rations of tooth powder and teeth

Brush." Saying that, Li Dan touched into the satchel: "Hey, what is this?"

"Don't look at it yet, go wash up, and it's not too late to watch it later when you have time." Xu Ying hurriedly stopped him, but even his neck was puffy when he spoke.

Li Dan instantly understood that this was probably related to Xu Ying, so he didn't poke it, and took out his tooth powder and toothbrush to go to the tea room to fetch water and wash.

Xu Ying also tidied up her makeup a little under Yutong's service, and watched him and Mao Zai brush their teeth and wash their faces in the same way through the window.

When he came in, he pointed to his hand and asked, "Is this your ration?"

"Yes, Geyang's old team members are all there, and the new team members are replenished quickly, and there is no workshop to make them, so it's too late to distribute them, and only a small number of people are using this until now." Li Dan suddenly realized:

"Yes, your family can do this business. It is mainly made of rice flour, bamboo salt, and then mint and charcoal powder.

In addition to the training, you can also change the recipe, make osmanthus and jasmine, and then make it into civilian products and sell them to ordinary people."

"Okay, then you can talk to Daddy and uncles." Xu Ying was also very happy, and asked again, "Do you want San Lang to stay and eat some breakfast?"

"No, I'm sorry to bother for so long." Li Dan looked at the sky, the chickens were crowing all over the place, he wanted to take advantage of this time to go home to see, his aunt must be in a hurry.

"Don't worry, Daddy sent someone to your house last night to report the news." Xu Ying said and bowed her head shyly.

In this way, this matter is equivalent to a tacit secret that has been picked out between the two families. Li Dan turned his face and quietly stuck out his tongue.

"Sister, don't worry, I will be responsible to the end!" As soon as he finished speaking, he was punched a few times on his shoulder by Xu Ying, who was ashamed and annoyed, but fortunately, it didn't hurt much.

But ......, hey, the scent just now reappeared. Li Dan suddenly realized that the quilt he was covering was actually an object used by other girls!

Back in Xianren, Aunt An was busy in the kitchen, Ah Bing opened the door, Bei Xi ran out to greet him, and whispered to him that his aunt might be angry. "How do you know?" Li Dan asked.

"Usually, if my brother comes back late, my aunt will wait until she sees that you are okay and then go to sleep, but after the Xu family came to deliver the letter last night, my aunt immediately went back to the house and turned off the lights. You see, isn't that angry?"

Pei Xi told him to be careful when he saw his aunt later, and not to be rude, etc.

Li Dan just smiled when he heard this, and he didn't refute. After breakfast, Lu Jiu came back with two fish from the market, and when he saw Mao Zai in the kitchen, he shouted, "Childe is back?"

This alarmed the whole hospital, and Xiao Qian hurriedly called the needle to come out and see. The needle pointed at Lu Jiu with his hand: "What are you calling blindly, don't you alarm the master?" Lu Jiu stuck out his tongue and grabbed four steamed buns and a bowl of porridge and slipped into the corner.

"It's okay," Li Dan smiled and waved his hand to ask the needle not to blame Lu Jiu, and asked her, "Did Auntie sleep well last night?"

He meant to ask Xiao Qian if he was angry, but he replied with a smile: "Okay, there is nothing bad, how can it be bad when double happiness comes to the door?"

These words made the second monk Li Danzhang confused, and suddenly heard the room ask, "Brother Dan is back?"

He hurried to the window to greet him respectfully, and said, "My son was a little ridiculous yesterday, and he was too tired. If you don't come home in time, don't blame your mother!"

"Come in and talk."

Li Dan entered the house and saw that Xiao Qian's complexion was really good, with a smile on his face, and when he saw him, he asked, "How is it, how do you get along with A-Ying?" Li Dan opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer. Xiao Qian patted his knee and said:

"I said, why is Mrs. Lao always talking to the eldest lady of the Xu family? It turns out that his family has such a mind!

Although my son is a concubine, but the existing official body of the nine products, but also with his merchant daughter-in-law, if you have nothing to say, I will call Mrs. Lao today to come over and receive the Geng post (the exchange of Geng posts between the two sides, is the first step of engagement)!"

"It doesn't have to be that fast, right?" Li Dan was taken aback and said, "Besides, at the moment of the great enemy, how can there be any reason for the leaders and officials to get married?"

"Of course, you have to wait for the battle

Now, let's settle this happy event! Yesterday the lake bandits were repulsed, and then you were engaged, and the morale of the people in this city must be high.

Besides, you were staying at Xu's house last night, if you don't send a matchmaker quickly, do you have to wait for the gossip to spread? Do you want the reputation of the eldest lady?"

Seeing Li Dan lowering his head, Xiao Qian just grinned, pointed his finger with disgust, and then resolutely said, "You don't have to worry about this matter, with your aunt in charge for you, you will definitely handle it properly!"

"It's up to my aunt to decide, and there's nothing the child disagrees with." Li Dan's face was feverish.

Although he almost became a grandfather in his previous life, he was still a sixteen-year-old boy at this time, and somehow there was such a sweet and green feeling in his heart, as if he was still a little nervous.

Seeing his stepson nodding, Xiao Qian happily called Needle Er in, and told her to immediately take a pen and paper and start pulling a list of gifts, preparing to ask Lu Jiu to go to the market again.

"No problem!" When Lu Jiu heard that it was a happy event for Li Dan, he immediately became excited.

Who knew that Li Dan immediately stopped him: "You can't do it, Ah Mao is too tired, let him go home and sleep for a day, you follow me today." I'll leave the shopping to Ah Bing."

"What, is my brother going out today?" Needle asked in surprise.

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a knock on the door. A green flag herald ordered to come in and give a military salute, telling Li Danzhao that Chief of Staff asked him to return to the inspection department immediately, saying that last night's incident had a result.

When Li Dan heard this, it was estimated that Jujie came back, and immediately asked Lu Jiu to prepare to leave, and found Mao Zai, gave him a day off, and asked him to go back to Lao Ji and his wife to have a look.

Li Dan said goodbye to his aunt first, and then went back to the house and asked Bei Xi to find him clean clothes inside and outside to change into.

Covered with chain mail, surrounded by blue satin to defend the waist, still hanging double plugs on the leather belt, pedaling a pair of cowhide moire head thick-soled combat boots, wearing a standard blue and red tasseled felt hat on the head, came out majestically, and several women in the courtyard were smiling.

Lu Jiu carried a burden with a big gun and followed behind like a foil. When he went out to see, a Wu Chang was already waiting outside the door with Zaoliu, Li Dan turned over and turned to Xiao Qian's fist, and said, "The child has gone to run errands, and the mother is at home at ease."

After speaking, Lu Jiu led the horse in front, and the group headed towards the City God Temple.
