Zheng Anping said with a smile: "How can you get this and be in the array!" ”

Zhang Lu said: "The workers of this house are in Jiuqi and Jiuliang, its wood and bamboo, and its rattan and silk, although rare, it is not expensive. ”

Zheng Anping said: "But how much money does it take to get this?" ”

Zhang Lu said: "This family is self-made, and the money is good!" Zheng Anping had to die. In my own family, don't talk about the bamboo tree, it is an ordinary tree, and even a little better hardwood is difficult to find. In this way, he wondered how he could compensate the other brothers if he took it for himself.

After eating, the two of them felt something cold falling from the sky, and at first thought it was raining, but when they looked closely, it was snow seeds coming down. Zheng Anping said: "Sir, it's snowing." It's cold and slippery, so be careful. ”

Zhang Lu said: "I care." ”

Zheng Anping put the tableware into the mustache, took it to the ditch of the back door to rinse it, put it back in the kitchen, and entered Zhang Lu's wing. Said: "I worship the sons every day, but if I want to get this, I will choose according to what others want." ”

Zhang Lu said: "The front is divided into four soldiers, don't reach Yu Chu, so I can't tell you!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "I don't know this, so I haven't reached it." Mr. Cheng told him that its value is still in the soldiers, and the price is immeasurable. If you don't tell it, you are false. He is at peace with his heart. ”

Zhang Lu said: "The son is benevolent, and he covers the sky." That being the case, you can tell each other, but you can also look at its meaning. ”

Zheng Anping promised.

The snowy night was silent, and everything was silent, the two of them sat with the "can", and talked nonsense all over the world, until the sleepiness went up, Zheng Anping returned to the room to rest.

The snow fell in the middle of the night and gradually stopped. After breakfast early the next day, Zheng Anping dressed as a soldier, put on a bucket coat, and went out with a hat on his head, and went to Brother Su first.

crossed the girder, bought three bunches of dried meat, and let the shopkeeper wear hemp rope and carry it in his hand. Enter the eastern suburbs of the city, go ten miles, and turn into a mile. On heavy snowy days, many children play in the snow in the square inside and outside. Zheng Anping stopped a child and said, "Is the postman Su Father here today?" ”

Xiao Tong said: "Yes." He shouted to the side: "Huan'er, there is a father looking for your family!" ”

A little boy who was having a bent snowball fight straightened up, looked this way, saw Zheng Anping, ran over to salute, and said, "Father Zheng is well!" ”

Zheng Anping rubbed his top with his hand and said, "Go to worship your father, is he at home?" ”

Huan'er said: "In, in!" Jumping and leading Zheng Anping to the door of his house, he pushed open the door and shouted: "Father, Father Zheng is the best!" ”

Su's wife, who was busy in the kitchen, straightened up, and when she saw that it was Zheng Anping, she also came over to greet her, and said, "Brother Zheng is well!" Brother Su, who heard the voice, ran out, also came to greet him, and said to his wife: "It's Zheng Lingye!" The Order of Guanyi! ”

Su's wife changed her face and said, "Zheng Ling is well!" ”

Zheng Anping held the hat, it was not easy to return the gift, and he was holding dried meat in his hand, so he could not give it up, so he had to respond: "Sister-in-law Su don't listen to my brother, our brothers are still in a lawsuit." He took down a piece of dried meat and handed it to Brother Su and said, "I would like to be bound to cultivate it to eliminate the remnants of the year." Brother Su hurriedly took it and said, "Dare to accept the gift of Zheng Ling!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "Our brothers, don't be official. Officialdom and wait for the lawsuit! The two laughed, Brother Su handed the dried meat to his wife, took Zheng Anping's robe, and said, "Soak it in rain and snow a little, and dry it slightly." "Give it to your wife, too. led Zheng Anping to the hall.

The two sat down, and Brother Su said: "I got a few gold yesterday, and the insiders couldn't help but be happy." Porridge with salt plums. Today's brother will give a bundle of repairs, and there will be salt and plum in the evening! ”

Zheng Anping said: "My brother's meritorious deeds are just like this!" ”

Brother Su said: "That's it. Those who came out of the Great Liang were 15,000 people, and under the north, 5,000 died, but the remaining 10,000 people were given two lords, except for those who were less guilty of the crime, and the rest were not employed. If it weren't for Brother Zheng, he would have to be in a prominent position and be generous. Not to mention the dead. ”

Zheng Anping said: "Guanyi, the land of the four wars, there is no danger to defend, and there is no city to rely on. The dependents, but more than 100 people, have no intention of south acres, but chase tithes. The thief is flawless, what is the land to guard? ”

Brother Su said: "Guan Yi is a hundred years old in the city, and there must be a way to defend himself, but we don't know the ear." When you enter the city and ask the old, the etiquette is inevitable. Prepare for consultation, you can get the details. If the guards are guarded, we are all warriors, and the method of practicing the soldiers, although it is difficult to prepare, can also be generalized. Choose a person and practice it, you can get it. ”

Zheng Anping said: "Although, there are only 100 dings in Yi, and there is little force, how can you practice?" ”

Brother Su said: "A team of strong men, a team of strong women, and a team of old and weak people, and they will be trained separately." The moon is evaluated, the good ones are rewarded, and the bad ones are punished. Compared to three years, you can get it! ”

Zheng Anping said: "If so, it is fortunate to rely on Brother Su. After a moment of conversation, he said: "The soldiers left by Brother Ma were originally four, and each of my four brothers got one." Yesterday, I brought the soldiers to my home, and the old minister had the knowledge, and I got the halberd of the Ma brother, and the cover of Jiamu was also, and its value was too much of a soldier. The younger brother did not dare to hide it, so he specially told the brothers. Divide it up. ”

Brother Su said: "Brother Zheng is bad. Four soldiers, three armor and one crossbow have been divided before, and those who have killed them are not what I dare to know. Since your ministers know that they are good trees, your brother can survive on his own. You can't hold five woods, although it's good! Brother Zheng also told him! ”

Zheng Anping said: "My halberd was destroyed in the military formation, and my brother knows it." If Brother Ma's halberd handle is ordinary, the younger brother will take it for himself without telling him. But its handle is also a, so it must be told, and it is not dared to be private. ”

Brother Su said: "Brother is too much. Brother Qi stayed, how dare the brother speak, dare to work brother to sue. The two talked about the details of their appointments. It was decided to take turns to return home for a five-day period. Each time he brought five days' bread, he borrowed a house in the city to cook it. Anyway, there are as many anti-tours as possible in the city, and there is no hindrance. It was agreed that Zheng Anping said that he would visit the other two and said goodbye. His wife took out the hot bucket jacket, and Brother Su handed it to Zheng Anping, helped him finish it, and sent him out of the door.

Out of the inside, treading the snow along the road, after a few miles, turned into a mile, and also called a child to lead him, and came to the door of the dog brother. Called to open the door, Brother Dog was single, there was no two people in the family, and when he saw that it was Zheng Anping, he welcomed him indoors. Zheng Anping offered dried meat and said words of blessing at the same time. Brother Dog thanked him and took the meat back to the kitchen. Then he led Zheng Anping to the hall and sat down. Zheng Anping said: "It is suitable for Brother Su, his wife is very happy with Brother Su, and she eats salt and plums!" ”

Brother Dog said: "Brother Su has a family and a business, if we are alone, even if I have a thousand gold, it is useless?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "My brother should also get married, how late it is." ”

Brother Dog said: "If you are a brother, how dare your brother go first?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "I give marriage to the king, and you know it." Again and again give you also. ”

Brother Dog smiled: "Brother and Jun have the skill of escorting, which is extraordinary, and my brother can do it." But if you have a little leisure at home, you may die. ”

Zheng Anping said: "The brother's high hall is still powerful, not as good as the younger brother, the family is in the middle of the road, begging for food in another country." ”

Brother Dog said: "If you are a brother, you can stand on the lintel of the high gate." Reorganize the temple and eat the ancestors with blood, which can be expected. ”

Zheng Anping said: "Brother Ma left four soldiers, one for each of my brothers. Yesterday, I brought troops home, and the old minister had knowledge, and he knew that Brother Ma's halberd was also pretended. Its cover is also a good wood, and its value may exceed its soldiers. What do you mean? ”

Brother Dog said: "My brother knows little, I don't know what it is, and I don't know how to use it." The handle of the brother's halberd has been destroyed for a long time, and it can be retained for oneself. ”

Zheng Anping said: "The four soldiers were discussed, and each of the four of us got one, but I don't know the value. Now that he knows the price or the over-soldier, the younger brother does not dare to keep it private, but tells the elder brother. ”

Brother Dog said: "Brother Zheng and Brother Ma contributed the most, and they should have a lot of money." The brother's will be paid to the brother, and the brother will have nothing else to say. ”

Zheng Anping said: "I thank you for the gift of Brother Dog." ”

Brother Dog said: "Brother Lai, I have the position of the left gang, and I will get two salaries under the door of Yu Jun." However, those who have conquered Huayang have all been promoted to the second jue, and there are few people who have obtained jobs, and their salaries are far less than that. ”

Zheng Anping said: "But if my brothers get together, nothing can be done." However, the management of the city, the danger of the city, the land of the four wars, there is no danger to defend, the city is small and there is no pool, and there are fewer soldiers. It's especially hard to catch thieves, and it's hard to keep the enemy at bay! ”

Brother Dog said: "Guanyi is close to the Great Wall, but if you keep it for a day, reinforcements will come." Or because of its small number of soldiers, it is not known whether it will not attack. As for the small city, although it is not good for the enemy, but the people of the city are quite cunning, and if the city is tall, it may not be our blessing. ”

Zheng Anping said: "If you are cunning to manage the people, what should my brother do?" ”

Brother Dog said: "What's so difficult?" I have a rattan whip, and my brother orders it, but if anyone refuses to obey, I should whip it. Who dares to disagree! ”

Zheng Anping said: "That's it, it's thanks to Brother Dog." ”

After chatting for a while, Zheng Anping said that he was going to visit Xiaosi, so he said goodbye.

After traveling a few miles, I came to the little four's house. Xiao Si let him into the room, Zheng Anping handed over the dried meat, and Xiao Si said: "Brother Zheng is home, why bother with gifts!" Our brothers, how can we be polite? ”

Zheng Anping said: "It's not a false courtesy. When the year is nearing the end, thou shalt eat a little meat, but thou shalt pass the year. ”

Xiao Si said: "If you are alone, you want to eat meat!" ”

Zheng Anping comforted: "Even if you are alone, you should also love yourself." You are the right guy, you get two gold a year, and then you can cultivate land in Guanyi, or get 100 acres, which is enough to support your family. You can welcome one or two relatives to live together. ”

Xiao Sidao: "My home is a hundred miles away, but I can raise it with a little money." ”

Zheng Anping said: "If it's only a hundred miles, Hu won't return?" ”

Xiao Si said: "At the beginning, Brother Hou led me out of home and joined the martial arts, and the family didn't like it very much, and I was expelled from my family. I haven't returned for more than ten years, but I have to return one day. ”

Zheng Anping said: "If the fourth brother gets the high lord and the lintel of the high gate, the parents will naturally be happy, and they will return to the temple when the time comes, and it will be good!" ”

Xiao Si said: "Brother Cheng Jiyan." However, the clansmen have grievances with the warriors, and they win the knighthood with martial arts, which is not what they like, and they are afraid that they will increase their worries! However, he suddenly smiled and said: "When you are young, you may go to Brother Hou, and the bundle of repairs given by my brother will be used." ”

Zheng Anping said: "The fourth brother often goes to Brother Hou? ”

Xiao Si said: "Brother Hou and I are close to the township, I am ten years old, and I am often a bully." When I was young, I was very unscrupulous, and every time I was tarted by my father and brother, I always received his favor. and long, then left home and became a military pawn. So it's time to be close to it. ”

Zheng Anping said: "Brother is the steward, Brother Hou knows it?" ”

Xiao Si said: "I tell you!" ”

Zheng Anping said: "What did Brother Hou say? ”

Xiao Si said: "Brother Hou said, opening up the territory, creating is difficult, do what you can, don't do too much." ”

Zheng Anping muttered: "Brother Hou's words are true. ”
