Fang Linyuan arrived at the Sixteenth Garrison Division on the second day.

With the deterrence of killing chickens and monkeys yesterday, the roster of the garrison division on this day is densely packed. So much so that just after the end of the day, the school field of the garrison division was already full of soldiers.

This is a scene that the leaders of the Sixteen Guards have never seen.

Fang Linyuan sat in front of the school and flipped through the roster, and a sect leader came forward to salute him, looking flattering and cautious: "General, all the soldiers on duty today have been assembled, and I ask the general to show me." ”

Fang Linyuan raised his eyes and asked him, "How do you practice every day, do you still need to ask me for instructions?" ”

The head of the sect was a little nervous, and he was speechless for a moment of embarrassment.

It's a shame to say that he has been transferred to the 16th Garrison Division since he was transferred, and he has never led troops to practice.

He rubbed his hands and was thinking about how to say it, when he saw Fang Linyuan lowering his eyes again, flipping through the roster: "Since Your Majesty has sent you this salary, it must not be to raise an idler who doesn't know anything." ”

The sect leader hurriedly stood up straight: "Subordinates understand! ”

Fang Linyuan stopped talking. After half a pillar of incense, the sound of military training gradually came from all over the school field.

He raised his hand and rubbed his ears, and the roster in his hand flipped back another page.

His gaze fell on the only uncircled name on the page, and after a moment's pause, his finger tapped lightly on the word.

Lee Seung-an.

The deputy commander of the 16th Garrison Division, the son of the military department.

He had a relationship with this person that night in the flower dynasty, and this person was resting yesterday, so he didn't see it.

Those who were on duty today but did not arrive at their posts, except for the one who handed over a fake note on the grounds of recuperation, he was the only one left.

When Fang Linyuan arrived at the Sixteenth Garrison Division, he saw someone waiting for him at the door. The man handed over the sign, which was the entourage of Li Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, saying that his eldest young master was drunk yesterday and accidentally fell off the horse and injured his leg, so he couldn't come today.

There are many difficulties on the face of that long.

"Did Lang Zhong say, how long will Li Chengan's leg be better?" Fang Linyuan asked him.

That long with Zhiwu for a long time, only said that it would hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days, and no one could say.

Fang Linyuan understood what they meant.

Ten ** is that the eldest young master refuses to come, and Li Fu is afraid that his children will lose their official position and resign, so he personally came forward and asked him to take more care of Fang Linyuan.

Fang Linyuan raised his eyes slightly and looked at somewhere in the school field.

The leader of that team of trained men and horses was Lou Shuo. It is said that he was the most beaten yesterday, but he didn't dare to ask for leave today, and he is practicing boxing on the field with the head coach at this time.

A set of punches is so-so, it seems that there is some foundation in martial arts, but it looks like he has neglected to practice for many years, and his punches have no strength, and because of the stick wound on his back, his every move hurts and grinning.

Fang Linyuan shook his head lightly.

This thorn is not a thorn, but Li Chengan is interesting.

He had a seizure yesterday, and these disciples of the family are so afraid today. Li Chengan is the only one who has no fear, and he wants to use his father to give him a dismount.

Fang Linyuan smiled indifferently and closed the roster with a snap.

——

The investigation process of Rongchang Street is much smoother than yesterday, and Fang Linyuan's plan is underway.

News spread quickly among the merchants, and on this day, many vendors who did not dare to go out of their stalls returned to Wing Cheong Street to receive compensation. Daxuan's shops and vendors have always been registered in the household department, and after confirming according to the process, it is difficult for anyone to fish in troubled waters.

These vendors, who were originally afraid of the Sixteen Guards, now see them as generous and life-saving benevolents. Even without going door-to-door, the vendors who received the compensation racked their brains to recall the situation on the night of the flower dynasty, scrambling to give them clues.

On this day, the booklet in charge of the clerk was almost out of writing.

The pockets of those gentlemen are gradually becoming a little unbearable.

Before lunchtime, Lou Shuo sent away two colleagues who came to him to turn over the silver tickets with a black face.

They don't have any money in their hands, so does he have money!

Yesterday they were still happy, saying that even the generals who came back from the northwest could not avoid the road of taking money to do things. This is not? They went out for a small amount of money, and there were only twenty of the forty sticks left.

But in just one day, Lou Shuo watched his purse deflat, and in less than two days, he gradually could not afford to drink wine or jade, and even the gold and silver that he had regularly thrown at the Oiran lady every month were also misappropriated to these poor vendors.

The men all took the silver and walked away with a smile, but they were the poor.

Last night, as soon as he got home, he went back to his mother.

His mother was a close friend of the palace mother, and he was teaching people to beat him with sticks outside, and his mother couldn't sit idly by.

But unexpectedly, his mother was full of sadness, and told him that the general who came back from the border was a figure who could not be provoked, and let him be obedient these days and not to cause trouble again.

He didn't get justice back, but was taught a lesson by his mother.

Lou Shuo's face darkened, so he had to retreat and reach out to his mother to ask her to give more silver tickets.

This time, it was his mother who blackened her face.

"Where did you spend all that money? Did you go to gamble, or did you teach which Qinglou Kabuki hooked the soul? ”

Lou Shuo explained for a long time, but he didn't get any benefits from his mother.

He didn't have any money in his hand, so he had no other way, and he was afraid that Fang Linyuan would really kill him, so he barely slept all night.

This morning, he finally got some silver.

He gave a few of the people who came to borrow money just now, and those people praised Brother Lou for his generosity, but he was embarrassed to say that he also borrowed the money.

The deputy commander of the management made Li Chengan borrow it.

Compared with them, Li Chengan is still the most capable one, after all, the military department sits on his father. With his father coming forward, even Fang Linyuan couldn't do anything to him.

Li Chengan generously lent him the money and gave him an extra five hundred taels.

"Next month, my grandmother will come back from the ancestors, and I will return the silver to you!" Lou Shuo said.

"No, a little bit of silver, you have the flowers." Li Chengan's face was not good-looking, but he said very generously.

"Cheng'an, you really saved my life!" Lou Shuo only felt that adversity saw the truth.

Li Chengan said: "Are you going to go on like this?" ”

"How do you go down?"

"If he wants to fight, he will teach him to fight, and if he wants silver, you will give it piecework?" Li Chengan looked at him.

Lou Shuo's face fell.

"What can I do? He has the emperor's order, and my mother doesn't dare to touch him. He said. Don't talk about me, Cheng'an, aren't you hiding at home now? It's better to hide, avoid the edge, maybe he'll be gone for a long time. ”

saw Li Chengan clenching his fists.

"Wait? I hate waiting the most. He said.

"Cheng'an?"

"Just let him wait." Li Chengan gritted his teeth and said.

Lou Shuo didn't know what Li Chengan asked Fang Linyuan to wait for, but looking at him gritting his teeth, it seemed that he had something to do with Fang Linyuan.

What could it be?

Lou Shuo was puzzled, and when he arrived on Rongchang Street at this time, he was still thinking about it boringly.

Suddenly, someone tugged at his sleeve.

Someone is borrowing money again?!

What a debt collector again! The God of Wealth asked them to loot like this, and they will become called Huazi, who cares if he borrows money, but he doesn't have a penny!

Lou Shuo turned his head sharply.

But I saw that it was the old woman who sold flowers yesterday, her face was full of folds, her waist was bent, and her expression was a little timid.

She held a basket in her hand, and Lou Shuo didn't notice it, and was stuffed into her arms heavily.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw that the basket was full of baskets of spring cakes, which looked very ordinary, but the fragrance jumped straight up.

"You're ......"

"Thank you for the rescue yesterday, there is nothing valuable in the grass people's house, and please don't be too rude."

The old woman looked at him with some timidity.

But for some reason, Lou Shuo saw the true expectation and gratitude from the ravine-ravine face.

——

Fang Linyuan saw this scene from afar.

Lou Shuo didn't know where to put his hands on, as if he was holding a bundle of explosives in his arms. The old woman thanked him directly, and seemed to say that her grandson had hired a good doctor, and that his fever had subsided last night.

Children have always been difficult to feed, and the old woman must be sincerely grateful to Lou Shuo. Such a big basket of pastries, it looks still hot, I'm afraid that the old man didn't sleep all night, so he made it deliberately.

Lou Shuo over there was so frightened that he said loudly: "You take it back, I don't want it, you take it back quickly......"

Fang Linyuan clenched his fists to cover his mouth, suppressed the smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth, pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, pressing on the old woman's hand that pushed the basket into Lou Shuo's arms.

"Grandma, there is an order in our army, and he is not allowed to accept this thing." Fang Linyuan is colored.

"This ......" the old woman had a confused look on her face, and her movements stopped in place.

Fang Linyuan glanced at Lou Shuo lightly and said, "If you collect people's property privately, you will be punished with military sticks." ”

Lou Shuo was almost stupid in place.

Hit again?! How much does this An Pinghou hate him, does he have to kill him to be satisfied!

He came back to his senses and almost jumped up from the spot: "It's not what I want to take, it's her insistence on ......"

The old woman also explained in a panic: "How can you beat this military master! The general didn't know that it was the grass people's stall that was knocked down yesterday, and it was this military master ......"

She waved her two hands anxiously, Fang Linyuan remained silent, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and put it in the old woman's hand.

"He took it

That's it this time, but not the next one. He said. I only bought this basket of pastries and gave it to him. ”

The old woman said that she could not take his money.

"If you don't take this money, I will have to deal with him according to military law." Fang Linyuan is colored.

The old woman was frightened by him and waved at him again and again.

"The child needs to be replenished after he is sick, so you can take back this silver and buy two catties of meat for the child." Fang Linyuan said.

The old woman thanked her again and again, and was sent away by Fang Linyuan in one step.

Fang Linyuan looked sideways and looked at Lou Shuo, who was carrying a basket next to him.

"Although this pastry is not worth any money, she sincerely thanks you." Fang Linyuan said. "I'll take it for you, but don't let her suffer."

Lou Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted: "Don't you really want to dispose of me, just to let her buy the money for pastries?" ”

Fang Linyuan glanced at him with a little disgust.

This gentleman is not bad-eyed, but his head is so stupid that he is really not suitable for being an official.

Lou Shuo muttered and looked down at the basket in his hand: "Thank me for what?" I don't have much money......"

Fang Linyuan, who was on the side, looked to the side lightly: "Now on this street, she is not the only one who wants to thank you." ”

Lou Shuo was puzzled and followed his gaze.

Then I saw that the soldier with the pamphlet was surrounded by a number of vendors, and they scrambled to tell him what they had seen and heard that night, and described to him the appearance of the bandits.

There are also many vendors who collect their belongings, and they have to stuff things into the hands of the passing soldiers, saying that they are hard. It's all worthless things, a handful of dried fruits, a few early apricots, but they can't push them away.

Lou Shuo He had never seen Sixteen Wei like this.

They have always crossed the street on horseback, and they are arrogant. The pedestrians were always careful to avoid their horses or get in their way.

The people feared them, and they rightly became overlords. But I never thought that compared to being grateful and embraced, the days of being proud are actually not interesting.

Lou Shuo turned his head to look at Fang Linyuan again.

On the day he returned to Beijing, his deeds were praised in the streets and alleys. The brothers were sitting in the restaurant and sneering at his back.

"Haikou is just boasting, and any famous generals are blown out by themselves."

But now he unexpectedly identified with those people.

Fang Linyuan is a person, it seems that no matter how much he praises him, he is not wronged.

His hand unconsciously reached into the basket, and he picked up a piece of spring flower cake and put it in his mouth.

His eyes lit up.

"What's wrong?" Fang Linyuan next to him asked.

But he looked at the basket of pastries in surprise, and it was rare to see them in the face.

“…… It's even better than Jufang Pavilion. He said. Then why didn't the old lady come out to sell flower cakes? ”

Fang Linyuan laughed a few times and looked away.

And Lou Shuo next to him seemed to have found some treasure, stuffed the flower cake into his mouth with one hand, and walked towards the team of soldiers with a basket: "Come, General Fang invites you to eat!" ”

As soon as he took two steps, he stopped and turned his head to look at Fang Linyuan.

Fang Linyuan saw that he was a little speechless and stopped.

"If you have something to say, say it." He didn't bother to rub shoulders with him.

Seeing that Lou Shuo hesitated for a while, he took the flower cloth in the basket and wrapped a few pastries and stuffed them into Fang Linyuan's hand.

"Cheng An has a bit of an opinion about you." He whispered. "Be careful."

——

Cheng'an? Lee Seung-an?

Fang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed twice.

He naturally has an opinion about him, but he doesn't know how Lou Shuo knows.

However, he has never cared about the opinion of a young master like Li Chengan, but he is interested in seeing how Li Chengan plans to make him careful.

Seeing that Lou Shuo was carrying a basket of pastries and dividing them into the group of soldiers, the vendors surrounding him were all stuffed with a piece of flower cake by him.

Fang Linyuan was also a little interested in it, picked up the one in his hand, and planned to open it and taste it.

At this moment, a plain white figure appeared in his sight.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Mrs. Su, followed by two guys, holding several pieces of cloth in their hands.

Is this going to his house?

Mrs. Su happened to see him as well, and saluted him from afar.

Yes, I have to ask Zhao Pu to help him pick out the fabric today, and it's a trouble to think about it.

Fang Linyuan's half-dismantled action in his hand stopped, thought about it, wrapped the flower cloth back, and walked in front of Su Niangzi.

"Girl, are you going to my house to deliver fabric?" Fang Linyuan asked.

Su Niangzi nodded.

Fang Linyuan answered, then reached out and handed the bag of pastries forward, and said with a smile: "Then you will trouble the girl." When I see my wife in a moment, please pass this bag of pastries to him for me. ”

Mrs. Su hurriedly took the pastry with both hands.

Fang Linyuan patted the residue on his hands.

He remembered that Zhao Pu seemed to have a special sweet tooth, and he still carried candy with him every day, like a little girl.

It's just that this kind of cake made by ordinary people, Lou Shuo can't even look at it, let alone Zhao Pu who is piled up with brocade clothes and jade food.

But as the saying goes, it's not strange to have many people.

He has done his best, and if he has other things to trouble in the future, he can ask Zhao Pu for help again.

——

Mrs. Su carefully held the pastries all the way to the Anping Marquis Mansion.

She only learned yesterday that it was the famous Marquis Anping who saved her life. No wonder he is so athletic, so many bandits are not his opponents.

Naturally, the good story between Marquis Anping and Princess Huining has been heard by all the children.

Mrs. Su didn't dare to slack off at all, and stopped in front of the door with the pastry. Immediately, a guard came to ask where she was going, and she respectfully told the guard that she was Su Ji Buxing.

With such a high-ranking Zhu Hu in front, she was a little apprehensive, but after seeing that the guard heard it, she said kindly: "Master Hou ordered yesterday, girl, please come in." ”

Mrs. Su nodded gratefully, and carefully followed the maid all the way into the front hall, her hand as if she was holding the fairy dew falling from the sky.

It didn't take long for a maid to report that Her Royal Highness had arrived.

Mrs. Su and the family behind her hurriedly knelt down and saluted, not daring to look up.

The sound of fine beads sounded, and the colorful skirt could be seen in the afterglow. The princess, surrounded by the maids, slowly stopped at the foot of the hall in front of her, and was helped by the maids to sit down in a chair.

"Let's be flat." The princess did not speak, but the maid beside her spoke.

Su Niangzi hurriedly stood up.

"The folk girl sees Her Royal Highness the Princess." Su Niangzi said. "The folk girl brought some cloth woven at home, some meager gifts, and asked Your Highness not to be too cold."

The princess was still silent, but the maid beside her stepped forward.

"Your Highness knows that your father is newly mourned, and has prepared some silk gold for you." The maid said. "A little heart, I hope you mourn."

Su Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and saw that a heavy purse had been handed over.

Her nose was sore, she almost burst into tears, and she was about to take it with both hands, but she saw that she was still holding the gift for the princess entrusted by Marquis Anping.

She sniffed quickly, swallowed her choked throat, held the object in both hands, and looked up at the princess.

But he was bumping into the princess's charming and delicate eyes, but they were cold and indifferent.

He seemed to look at her without a trace.

Su Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and saw that the princess had already turned her eyes away lightly, and flicked the transparent jade beads on her wrist.

Princess Huining is really a little more beautiful and cold than rumored, and the glittering gold and jade beads on her head can't hide the brilliance of her face. She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes were like crow feathers, and her expression was plain like a goddess sitting high in the Ming Hall.

Yes, she really wants more.

Her Royal Highness the princess is extremely noble, how can she look at her like this?

Su Niangzi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the daughter of Fang Cai met Master Hou on the street. Hou Ye missed the princess, and specially ordered the people's daughter to bring this to His Royal Highness for Hou Ye. ”

As she spoke, she picked up the pastry with both hands.

The maid in front of her immediately understood, and took the bag of pastries and put the purse in her hand.

Mrs. Su thanked her again.

Then the maid held the cake in front of the princess, and immediately someone brought a silver plate. The rough cloth unfolded on the silver platter, revealing the cake that had been squeezed and distorted inside.

Su Niangzi actually saw the princess who was looking down at the flower cake, and her lips showed a very shallow smile like a fairy grass blooming in the place where the ice and snow melt on the top of the mountain.

Su Niangzi almost taught that smile to be dazzled, and hurriedly lowered her eyes, not daring to be rude.

She didn't see the princess smile, but she looked up at her with pale eyes.

Then she heard the princess's voice.

"He's always had a heart."

Like the sound of a fairy in the sky, Su Niangzi's hand in front of her couldn't help but squeeze it gently.

It is really a fairy figure who is splendid and beautiful. She said to herself. No wonder Hou Ye has admired him for a long time, and the fairy couple mentioned in the book is really not a lie.

Su Niangzi sighed in her heart, and did not dare to raise her head respectfully on her face.

Naturally, she hung her head respectfully, and she didn't see the hint of meaning in the princess's eyebrows when she said it.

It was like a peacock with the screen open walking in front of her, and when she turned around, she inadvertently caused her tail feathers to sway out of a sparkling golden light. ：，，.
