Chapter 67 Forced to Operate
The housekeeper Wu's mother saw that Xiaocui had a flexible brain, diligent hands and feet, and a good personality, so she sent her to serve the master's daily life. Mother Wu is the one who came over from Fangjiazhuang, and she knows everything about the Fang family.
Xiao Cui has a good appearance, speaks softly and waxy, and is extremely lethal to men.
The old man is strong-blooded, if he can't help but be tempted to make a mistake that men are prone to make, not only Xiaocui will die, but even the master and himself will be severely punished by the lady.
Therefore, when she sent the work, she sternly warned Xiaocui that she needed to serve the master with all her heart, but she must not have any wrong thoughts, not at all, otherwise the sword in the hand of the lady will be mercilessly on her neck.
Lao Song is a swineherd, and he has not been in contact with anyone from the Fang family's compound these days, and he doesn't know that the real master of the Fang family is his wife.
Madame is not an ordinary housewife, she can kill the enemy when she gets on the horse, and dare to beat the master when she gets off the horse.
If his gibberish reaches Madame's ears, will she still be alive?
Lao Song pulled away her hand and spat a few times, "Xiaocui, I'm not talking nonsense." Let me tell you, it's not my old Song bragging, I look at people and things very accurately, and I will never be mistaken. ”
"You bumped into the master just now, and the master almost fell. If it's someone else, isn't the master angry? You see how ...... he is to you."
Xiao Cui "gedeng" in her heart.
Lao Song doesn't seem to be wrong. He almost knocked down the master, not only was he not angry, but he seemed to care about himself, which was completely inconsistent with the rules of the Daxing Dynasty.
Although she is only sixteen years old, she has been a slave since she was a child. Her former master was Zhu Dachang, and she clearly remembered that a servant accidentally kicked Mrs. Zhu's pet black cat while walking, and that leg was broken by Mrs. Zhu, and then expelled from Zhu's mansion.
She had several nightmares that night. From that day on, she did everything carefully, for fear of making a mistake.
Seeing Xiao Cui's thoughtful appearance, Lao Song thought that she was moved by what she said, and couldn't help but be complacent.
As the old saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.
As a swineherd, he also needs to have his own way of survival.
Unexpectedly, Xiaocui suddenly knelt down and begged solemnly: "Old Song, you must stop talking nonsense about what you said just now, I beg you, I will repay you for your great kindness and virtue in the next life." ”
Xiao Cui's reaction caught Lao Song unexpectedly, he stared at his eyes, and his Adam's apple squirmed for a long time before he vaguely agreed.
"Okay, okay."
Xiao Cui breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Lao Song, and got up. The two chatted absentmindedly for a few more words and then said goodbye to each other, Lao Song went back to feed the pigs, and Xiaocui went back to do housework.
Kong Fang rushed to the study at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and sure enough, Fang Shiqing sisters and Luo Wenpeng were there.
"Sorry, late, late." He forced a smile and made accusations again and again. Fang Shiqing didn't reprimand him, but just habitually put his hand on the sword handle at his waist.
Kongfang's eyelids jumped.
To tell the truth, he hated Fang Shiqing's action the most.
Luo Wenpeng frowned slightly. He has been with Kong Fang for a few days, but he is not very used to the way he speaks.
Kong Yiji was a competent master after all, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, he asked Kong Fang to take a seat in time, and then rolled out a battle report for him.
Kong Fang's eyes swept over, and just as he was about to do something perfunctory, Kong Yiji stepped lightly on his feet, reminding him not to be sloppy. Don't say that there is no room for error in the war report, even the lady's gaze cannot be taken lightly, and it is not good that it can kill.
Kong Fang secretly took a deep breath.
The war report was written in the style of the Daxing Dynasty, similar to the classical Chinese of the previous life, obscure, awkward, and very difficult to read. The font is traditional Chinese characters, and some words it knows him, and he doesn't know it.
Alas! He sighed.
If he wasn't afraid of losing face, he was even more afraid of exposing himself as a traveler, otherwise he really wanted to go to the county school to study.
No matter what dynasty or generation, being uneducated is the most terrible.
He pretended to read the battle report from beginning to end.
"Well, very well written."
He tapped his fingers on the tabletop. He knew that the battle report was written by Fang Shiyi, and he had always had a good impression of his cheap sister-in-law, so of course he had to boast about such a good opportunity.
"The content of the war report is pertinent, seeking truth from facts, the data is detailed and accurate, and the deeds of the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy are clearly described, impartial, fair and just."
"Let's report it accordingly."
He took out the big seal of the county government and solemnly printed it on the war report. Kong Yiji put away the battle report, handed one to Luo Wenpeng, and personally sent the official to submit it to Tang Bolong in Baoding Mansion.
Finally got a thing, Kong Fang rubbed his hands happily.
"We have submitted the battle report, and it is up to them to decide how to reward the above, we will determine our reward first, and when the reward is down, we will issue it together."
"I'll give my preliminary opinion, and then we will discuss it. First, Captain Fang killed the bandit leader Zhu Chongjiu, and made great contributions, recorded first-class merit, and rewarded one hundred taels of silver. ”
"Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Fang are well commanded, and they have killed countless bandits, and they will each be rewarded with fifty taels of silver."
"Captain Luo's personal soldiers will be rewarded with five taels of silver each, each county soldier will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and those who have made meritorious contributions will be rewarded with five taels."
Although Fang Shiqing is his wife, she fought with Zhu Chongjiu to the death, if she hadn't entangled Zhu Chongjiu and left him with no power to resist, he would have no chance to stab him to death.
This is obvious to all, and if she is credited with first-class merit and a reward of 500 silver, no one will say that he fakes his merits for personal gain. As for Fang Shiyi and Luo Wenpeng, their performance is not bad, and they are worthy of the fifty taels of silver.
As for the pro-soldiers, they were the instructors of the county soldiers, and even if they did not participate in the war, Kong Fang intended to reward them. And those county soldiers, although none of them are very outstanding.
But for the first time they went into battle, they deserved to be rewarded for fighting to the death against a band of outlaws with blood on their hands, and none of them retreated timidly.
Next, it should be applause, as well as compliments to yourself, wise and powerful, clear rewards and punishments, and the blue sky......
Although he likes to keep a low profile, he never rejects the kindness of others.
However, it backfired.
He did not receive applause and praise. Fang Shiqing was as cold as ever; Luo Wenpeng was thoughtful; Fang Shiyi's face was a little embarrassed.
Kong Yiji's performance was the most prominent, squeezing his eyebrows, as if his eyes were in the sand. He kicked him unceremoniously, and he didn't know how to bring rhythm to his master at the critical moment, can this master still be a master?
"Old man......"
Kong Yiji sneakily attached to his ear, "We don't have half a tael of silver in our hands, what do you give to others with this reward?" Hit a white strip? ”
The word "white stripe" was taught by the master himself, and he didn't expect to use it so quickly.
"Who says there's no money? Didn't the old man named Du bring a group of old men to send tens of thousands of taels of silver? Or did you tell me personally. We'll use them as silver."
He wasn't loud, but everyone could hear him.
Kong Yiji wiped his cold sweat, with this voice, there was really no way to chat. But the other party is the county magistrate, and he can't help but speak.
"Master, weren't you there at that time, and I didn't dare to make my own decisions, so I asked them to send them to Wengcheng in person to reward the soldiers of the three armies."
