Everyone pretends to have something in their hearts, and those who cook at dinner in the evening don't have the heart to cook, and those who eat don't have the heart to eat.

Feng Tu chewed the raw rice in his mouth, and slowly stuffed the beans into the corners of his mouth, so salty that he frowned.

Clip another chopsticks of greens, forget to put salt, the faint taste can dilute a little salty taste in the mouth, but just didn't chew two bites but bit the small sand, the greens were not cleaned.

Looking at the worried family members again, he didn't notice that there was a problem with tonight's meal, and he didn't dare to say anything, and silently ate a bowl of rice into his stomach.

Today is the first day of recruiting soldiers, and Li Chengmu took the officials of the yamen to prepare to set up a recruitment point at the yamen after breakfast.

For this recruitment point, he thought that no one would care, after all, people in this era are very disgusted with conscripts.

In the era of cold weapons, the mortality rate on the battlefield was very high, and who would want their son to die in vain on the battlefield.

But today could be his lucky day, as soon as the table and chairs were set up, a tall young man wandered in front of the recruitment point.

His little servant asked tentatively, "This brother, this is the recruitment point for conscription, are you here to register?" ”

Feng Tu smiled unnaturally at Changlu, suppressed his nervousness, took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision, and walked forward quickly, "Hello adults, the small one is Feng Tu from Jixiang Lane, I came here to register today, may I ask if the area where we live is registered here?" ”

Li Chengmu's eyes lit up as soon as he sat down, and someone took the initiative to register, and the recruitment point set up was not a big hit.

"Jixiang Lane?" Changlu was also surprised in his heart, he looked at the man in front of him, his age and physical appearance met the requirements of conscription.

"You're from Fucheng?"

Feng Tu nodded heavily: "Well, the little one grew up in Fucheng since he was a child, and his family has been from Fucheng for generations. ”

Next, Feng Tu told him all about his own situation.

I was afraid that they wouldn't believe it, so I handed the household registration that I stole from my parents' room in the middle of the night last night to Changlu.

After checking it for a long time, he handed it to the little official to check it again, and made sure that there was no problem with his identity, so he helped him register.

Li Chengmu felt that this was a good start, and after the registration was completed, he did not let Feng Tu go back immediately, but asked him to help at the recruitment point.

"After all, we have just arrived in Lingnan, and we really don't understand the dialect of Lingnan, and there are many things that need to be explained in the conscription, see if you can stay and help?"

Feng Tu hesitated a little, the most important thing was that he noticed the little official next to him, with this little official there, the people who came to register were not able to communicate at all.

Seeing that he hesitated and didn't answer a mouthful, Changlu said with a smile: "This is our fifth master, and he is in charge of this recruitment work together with Lord Taiwei. ”

Feng Tu glanced at Li Chengmu in surprise, lowered his head quickly, and said, "The little one has eyes but no beads, I hope the fifth master will forgive the villain's clumsiness." It is a blessing for the villain to be able to get the blue eyes of the fifth master today, and it is even more difficult to serve the fifth master. ”

"Haha!" It was the first time for Li Chengmu to hear someone talk like this, and he guessed that he was probably too nervous.

However, he didn't think too much about it, waved his hand and said: "Since you have registered, you are a soldier in the barracks, you don't need to call yourself a small person in front of the master in the future, a villain or something, it sounds weird, just call yourself a subordinate." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Feng Tu was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that this master was easy-going.

"Looks like you're adapting well."

Li Chengmu teased, then took a sip of tea and continued to wait, but then it was really cold.

The people passing by just glanced at it in a hurry, and then ran away as if there were dogs behind them.

The sun above his head gradually rose, and Li Chengmu lost the patience to wait stupidly.

He stood up and said to the little official: "You guard here, long road, Feng Tu, you two go to the recruitment points in each street with your master to have a look." ”

The entire conscription work is expected to end in about 10 days, and after finishing the busy city, we will have to go to the countryside and villages to recruit, and the time is tight and the task is heavy.

Li Chengmu felt that since he had promised his mother to form a team of 5,000 people, he had to take practical action.

Feng Tu was worried that the second brother in the family would go to register, when he heard Li Chengmu speak: "Feng Tu, you are a native of Fucheng, and you are more familiar with the streets and alleys in the city than us, so you will take us to inspect today." ”

"Okay, fifth master, in fact, yesterday the family discussed that the second brother was going to apply, and the subordinates were afraid that the second brother had also registered, can we go to Jixiang Lane where my family lives first?"

The first time he followed his master out to do something, he made a request, Feng Tu was worried in his heart, for fear that Li Chengmu would be angry.

"Then go to Jixiang Lane first." As for where to go first, Li Chengmu didn't care, he was curious about how Feng Tu discussed at home to let the second brother apply, and he secretly came out to register in advance.

"People in this world try to avoid conscription as much as they can, why do you sign up when your second brother agreed? Aren't you afraid to go to war and be shrouded in horse leather at a young age? ”

"Ants are still stealing life, not to mention people, the second brother in the family has a wife and children to take care of, and the brothers have the least concerns compared to their subordinates, and the application conditions are the most suitable."

Li Chengmu looked at Feng Tu with complicated eyes and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you are the second person to be admired by the master after coming to Lingnan, yes, a man who values love and righteousness stands up to the sky, and will follow the master to do a good job in the future!" ”

"I don't know who the first person to make the fifth master admire?"

"Of course it's my mother! Ha ha! ”

"Ahh Thank you for looking up to your subordinates so much. Feng Tu didn't think that the answer was like this, he was excited, pursed his lips and followed silently.

When a few people arrived at Jixiang Lane, sure enough, many people were called by the chief to sign up, and there was Feng Mu, the second eldest of the Feng family, in the long line.

Feng Mu had been paying attention to the movement in front of the team, and was coldly patted on the shoulder, slightly startled, and only when he turned around did he find that it was the fourth brother.

"Fourth, why are you here?"

"Second brother, don't line up here, I've already signed up, you can go back quickly."

"Where did you name it? I haven't seen you in the front line just now. ”

Feng Tu craned his neck and noticed that Li Chengmu had already walked to the front of the team with a long road.

He eagerly stuffed the household registration into Feng Mu's hand, "I have my own way to sign up, you let me take the household registration of the family back, the fifth master is far away, I am going to chase the fifth master." ”

After that, without waiting for Feng Mu to respond, he ran out.

"Fifth master? What the fifth master? ”

Feng Mu scratched his head, and when he lowered his head and noticed the household registration in his hand, he suddenly said: "No wonder my father and mother can't find the household registration, it turned out that it was stolen by this kid." ”

It hurt my father and mother to beg the chief for a long time, and the chief was willing to help guarantee without household registration.

Crossing the crowd, Feng Tu suddenly sneezed twice.

He rubbed his nose, who was talking about him?

Wu Yuli's eyelids have jumped vigorously in recent days.

The left eyelid beats the right eyelid, even if you stick red paper on the eyelid, it doesn't help, and a sense of foreboding hits my heart.

Until the maid came to report: "Madam, the old lady invites you to the main courtyard." ”

When Wu Yuli heard that the old lady was looking for her, her right eye jumped even harder.

She was uneasy in her heart, and asked the maid: "Do you know what the old lady is talking about when she looks for Mrs. Ben?" ”

The maid's mouth was tighter than the mussel shell in the river, and she shook her head without hesitation: "The slave doesn't know." ”

"You go and reply, and Mrs. Ben will be over at once."

The subordinate was ordered to leave.

The personal mother-in-law said worriedly: "The old lady will not pass you over if he has nothing to do, there must be something important to find you, if the old man is here. Madame, what shall we do? ”

I almost mentioned the deceased lord again.

The mother-in-law peeked at her, and when she saw that she didn't show sadness, she breathed a sigh of relief.

How could Wu Yuli not hear what her mother-in-law meant, her mother-in-law just wanted to say that if the master was still there, who would dare to bully their mother and daughter in the Mu family.

It's just that time has passed, and now in Lingnan, things are not people.

As for the old lady looking for it, I can only take one step at a time, and see what the old lady is looking for her today?

"Look at everything, after all, I am the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, and the old lady will not eat me, don't worry."

"The old lady dislikes that we don't have a male heir in this room, and the slave is afraid that someone will bewitch the old lady to be unfavorable to you, and make some strange requests."

Wu Yuli raised her hand to stop her muttering, "In the future, I will say less about these words, I am afraid that you usually say things smoothly, and if you don't pay attention to the occasion for a while, you will come when you open your mouth, and then the old lady will know, and even I can't protect you." ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly knelt on the ground and admitted her mistake, "What Madam said is that the slave maid's head shaft can't turn, and she thinks about something that she doesn't have, so she can't think about it, and the slave and maid will definitely change it in the future." ”

Wu Yuli raised her hand to let her get up, tidied up her appearance a little, and then went out with the maid.

The main courtyard where the old lady lives, the masters of the Mu Mansion who can talk about things basically sit here.

Wu Yuli went in and said hello to the two elders on the main seat, and then found a vacant seat and sat down.

The old lady noticed that Wu Yuli was dressed in plain clothes, and she was very satisfied.

A widow who is a widow must have a widow's self-realization.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how are you adapting these days? If there is anything missing in the yard, tell your second brother and sister, and she will do everything for you. ”

Wu Yuli gently pulled the corners of her mouth, "Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Laurel, we have nothing to lack, and we can adapt to it." Thinking that the second brother and sister have to take care of the whole family, and there is no extra time to pay attention to the big house, I won't trouble her. ”

mentioned the second lady, and couldn't help but remind her of the fact that her power in charge of the family was taken away.

For those who seized power and usurped the throne, Wu Yuli didn't beat her up, which was already gentle and generous.

How could you beg her!

"Ahem!"

The old lady coughed twice beside her, and the old lady wanted to say something more, but when she was reminded, the topic changed, "Eldest daughter-in-law, we can settle down in Lingnan so smoothly, Princess Qian can be said to have contributed a lot." ”

"Of course, we also remember your credit, but we want to thank and express our gratitude, but we haven't met the princess, so it's not good to come to visit rashly."

"Or, on behalf of the Mu family, you will go to the palace to deliver a message of worship to the palace?"

"The first two times my daughter-in-law handed over the post and didn't get a reply, it must be the princess who has just arrived, things are complicated, many things are waiting for her to make decisions, how can I have time to meet outsiders!"

The old lady didn't like others to refute her words, and frowned slightly, "How can you be considered an outsider, you are her close friend from childhood to adulthood." No matter how busy you are, there will always be time to see you. ”

Wu Yuli laughed at herself and didn't bother to speak.

The old lady coughed lightly and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, now the recruitment notices outside are all over the place, and families like ours are also counted in the conscription list. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a circle of family members, "Look at these Sven brothers, which one of them can endure the hardships in the barracks, and which one can go to the battlefield?" The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and whoever is injured will feel distressed by the family. ”

"Can you go find the princess and ask her to do her a favor, for the sake of our Mu family following them to Lingnan without hesitation, see if we can exempt our Mu family from military service?"

"Conscription?"

Also recruit the soldiers of the family?

Wu Yuli hasn't been out for a few days, and of course she doesn't know what's going on outside.

The hottest thing that took place was the conscription.

"That's right, sister-in-law, it's up to you whether our family can be exempted from military service this time. There are quite a few adult males in the family, and if we count according to the requirements of conscription, we will have six descendants. If you add the side branches, the number is even more incredible, and it should be more than enough to form a squadron. ”

The lady of the second room was so anxious that the corners of her mouth lit up, and there were as many as six adult men in the second room.

If she doesn't want to do it, she can't afford to serve any child in the second room.

"Sister-in-law, I will leave the matter of military service to you."

"Sister-in-law, you must be dedicated, please beg the princess more, we believe that she is affectionate."

The other rooms begged one after another, and Wu Yuli only felt an invisible pressure in the main courtyard coming towards her.

It seems that as long as she doesn't have the heart to do this, if the family serves in the military and goes to the battlefield because of this, she will be blamed for an accident.

"Eldest daughter-in-law!"

The old lady urged.

Wu Yuli looked around and gritted her teeth, "I will do my best in this matter, as for whether the princess will agree to it, I dare not guarantee." It's just that if it doesn't work out, I hope you don't blame me, because I'm a soft-spoken person who has done my best. ”

"No, no, how can I blame you, you are now a great hero of our Mu family!"

The gloom on the second lady's face dissipated, and she smiled and waved her hand, as if as long as Wu Yuli agreed to go to the palace, things could be done.

Wu Yuli lowered her head and smiled bitterly, but did not emphasize anything more.

Xia Jing received a letter from the Mu family and was sorting out the wasteland title deeds sent back by the Tong, Lou, and Chen families.

The return of the land deed by Tong, Lou, and Chen was very refreshing, but there was some delay in paying the tax and silver, and each family seemed to have discussed it, and only paid 50,000 taels of silver.

In this regard, Xia Jing had expected it and was not surprised, so that the yamen accepted the silver and wasteland title deeds without much difficulty.

But it also made the three major families write IOUs, requiring them to repay part of the loan every year and repay the rest in three years.

It seems reasonable and unexpected to receive the Mu family's greetings.

"It's been such a courier, I thought they would come to visit when the Mu family has completely settled down."

"Where are you now?"

Hongmei replied: "At the gatehouse, princess, do you want to invite them in?" ”

"Invite someone in."

Hongmei took the order and withdrew to arrange for the sprinkler to bring people in.

Xia Jing patted a stack of land deeds on the table, and asked Bai Mei, who was standing on the side and fanning, "There is so much wasteland, there are outside the four city gates, how do you say I should distribute it?" ”

Prince Qian has five sons, and if you count her, the score is six.

If it is better to have four sons, one person occupies one direction.

It's a big deal that she, the one who took the body of their ancestors, ran away to open up the wasteland.
