He wanted to say that the Li family thought of him as too much of a bastard, and he wasn't that bad.

Back then, he was too anxious, so he left such an arrogant impression on the Li family, and he was actually quite humble, otherwise he wouldn't have understood so much farming at a young age.

The Jiang family was a small family in the previous dynasty, but after the establishment of Dasheng, the Jiang family fell, when he was born, his grandfather was only a small county, in addition to a little non-major ancestral property that could not be used, there were thousands of acres of land left, a few shops.

His upbringing is not much different from Li Xiaolan's, he reads books on weekdays, and learns to grow crops with tenant farmers and long-term workers in his family-

Influenced by his grandfather, he knew the importance of crops since he was a child, and he was exposed to farm work since he was a child.

Li Xiaolan has also been literate since childhood, doing housework, farm work, and making snacks, is this fundamentally different from his upbringing?

Master Li made a fortune too fast, and he completed half of his grandfather's life in a few years, so he and Li Xiaolan are of similar age and have the same growth experience, he really doesn't mean to look down on Li Xiaolan.

Although he wanted to be promoted faster with the help of the Li family, he thought about it when he decided to marry the daughter of the Li family, and since he married, he couldn't live up to it.

He didn't want to waste his time mediating the fight in the back house, which was too peaceful, so that he could focus more on official business.

As for the thoughtfulness and companionship required by the Li family, he will do his best, since he has married people back, he can't leave people to dry.

Otherwise, the friendship between the two families will be ruined, and it will be bad.

As for whether he loves or not, he really can't talk about love for Li Xiaolan now, but Li Xiaolan is beautiful, gentle and virtuous, literate, and knowledgeable - since he was a child, he has been in contact with the Li family's business, and this insight is not something that ordinary ladies and rich daughters can have.

Li Xiaolan actually fits his requirements for his lady very much.

As Master Li said, feelings come out, and even if you really can't love in the future, you should turn into family affection.

Jiang Zhifu received Li Qiao's letter, very happy, he also hoped that this family business can be concluded as soon as possible, Li Qian has asked the master to choose a few auspicious days of the zodiac, he chose the most recent one, in March next year.

Three months is enough for the two families to prepare for this family business.

After the wedding date was set, Li Xiaolan began to embroider the wedding dress, and Tao Zhu bought her a dowry according to the specifications of Li Yu'an and Li Yuning when she got married.

The Jiang family bought a house in the capital, located in the north of the city, but the north of the city is a little far away from the current Li family.

Tao Zhu was very familiar with the east of the city, and Li Qiao handed over the matter to Tao Zhu, but the weather was cold during this period of time, so he asked Tao Zhu to go out to see the house after this time period.

In fact, Tao Zhu felt even more sorry for Li Qiao.

Now the Li family is enjoying happiness, but Li Qiao, the pillar of the pillar, has to brave the cold every day to go out.

Alas.

Being an official is really not as comfortable as being a local lord.

Li Qian also felt that being an official was not as comfortable as the local lord, the cold was a trivial matter for him as an alien, and the big thing now was that the Hu people were also very cold, cold + lack of food, and the Hu people began to attack the border city repeatedly.

Moreover, on the 14th day of the lunar month, Sheng Hong received an urgent report of 800 li in Xishan Province, and the Hu people launched an attack in Xishan Province, plundering grain and population.

Sheng Hong, who received the report, had a very bad face.

It seems that the natural disaster has really driven the Hu people crazy, and there is no way, he can only increase his troops.

And Li Qiao thought of the six princes who had not yet returned to Beijing in Xishan Province, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, should the six princes run to the front line?

Although he didn't like the six princes, he didn't expect the six princes to die early, and at the beginning of the year, the six princes decided to go to Xishan Province, which actually made him breathe a sigh of relief, just don't go to the border city.

But now that there is a war in Xishan Province, with the ambition of the six princes to make contributions, eighty percent will run to the front line......

After hesitating for less than half an hour, he told Sheng Hong his worries, should he summon the six princes back to Beijing?

Of course, he also made it clear to Sheng Hong that he was not afraid of the six princes' meritorious service, he was worried that the six princes would be young and inexperienced enough to hurt themselves.

After all, the Hu people have gone crazy now, and the Hu people have always been fierce.

Sheng Hong also thought so, although he felt that the heir must have the ability to protect the country and command the war, but his six sons did not have any experience in marching and fighting before.

Moreover, Xishan Province is far away from Shengjing, and the materials and medical care are not as good as the border cities located in Jibei Province, and he is also worried that something will happen to the six princes.

Sheng Hong issued an edict to let the six princes return to Beijing, and in order to prevent this son from being disobedient, he asked Zhao Cun to take people to Xishan Province.

Even if you tie up, you have to tie people back.

These two battles have made this New Year no New Year's atmosphere.

Sheng Hong can receive reports from the border city every day, and the small-scale harassment and large-scale attacks of the Hu people have not stopped, and there are casualties on Dasheng's side every day.

These figures made Li Qiao's heart heavy.

If he could go to the front......

*

The author has something to say:

Li Qiao is going to the front line to use his ability!

Chapter 235: Sheng Hong sent Li Qiao to the border city Tao Zhu was worried

Li Qiao moved his mind to go to the front line, It just so happened that the weather was cold now, and although his water ability couldn't condense water into ice, at this dripping temperature, it was too easy for him to freeze people to death with his ability.

Of course, this is dangerous.

He can't be foolproof.

Although he is an anomaly, because he can't kill openly, he can only take advantage of the night to sneak attack, but he is not familiar with the other party's camp, and he does not dare to guarantee that he can quietly kill people in large quantities.

Although he felt sorry for the soldiers who lost their lives, his own safety was more important.

Besides, there was no reason for him to go to the front.

He is a civil official, and he is still Sheng Hong's right-hand man, unless Dasheng's generals are all dead, otherwise it will not be his turn to go to the front.

After all things considered, he could only endure the thoughts of going to the front.

But he can't do nothing either.

Now Dasheng is forced to go to war between the two places, which burns silver every day, so, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when Sheng Hong started his office, he took the opportunity to enter the palace to help Sheng Hong deal with trivial matters, and expressed to Sheng Hong his willingness to donate silver and materials to the front.

It's a big New Year, but Sheng Hong's face is a little haggard, his eyes are red and bloodshot, and he obviously hasn't rested well.

Hearing his words, Sheng Hong hesitated slightly, and then nodded slightly: "Then you donate some coal, the soldiers in the border city are the most important thing." ”

"Yes." Li Qiao responded: "When Weichen leaves the palace, he will go to Fan's house to find Fan." ”

Sheng Hong snorted, and said: "Yesterday, Mi'er and Xiao Qi both came to look for me, and the two of them wanted to go to the border city to see the situation, who do you say I should send to the right place?" ”

"Huh?" Li Qiao was surprised when she heard this: "Holy Lord, the border city is dangerous, how can you let the prince put his life in danger?" ”

"I just went to the border city to see the situation over there for me, not to pick up a big knife and go to fight with the Hu people."

Sheng Hong explained.

He can't just listen to the words of the border city guards, he has to send people he really trusts to go there to have a look, so as to understand the real situation in the border city.

By the way, for the New Year, you have to reward the brave soldiers who guard the border.

Originally, he wanted to send someone else, but his fourth and seventh sons all volunteered to go to the border city, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed not as suitable as sending a prince to send a courtier.

His heir must be able to fight, otherwise how to protect the great prosperity?

A few years ago, there was no war in Dasheng, so his sons didn't have a chance to go to the battlefield, and now his sons are really not young.

He can't raise them like old hens to protect their cubs, and now that the border city is quite stable, he plans to pick a son to go and feel the real battlefield.

Moreover, rewarding soldiers, this kind of behavior of buying people's hearts, it is naturally better to send royal people.

Sheng Hong's explanation was very reasonable, Li Qiao listened to it, and hurriedly said: "If it's just like this, then any prince is suitable." It's just that a few years ago, you sent Captain Zhao to Xishan Province to invite the six princes back to Beijing, if the six princes learned that you sent other princes to the border city, would he be unhappy? ”

“……”

Sheng Hong sighed: "I forgot about this. ”

His six sons shouted that they wanted to go to the front line when the Hu people first violated the border, and if he tied up these six sons and sent Xiao Qi or the fourth son to the border city this time, then when his son came back, wouldn't it be a trouble.

Headache.

After thinking for a moment with his hand against his forehead, he lifted his eyelids and looked at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing, why don't you go to the border city, you are young and strong, and you can withstand the cold and bumps." ”

The courtiers he can really trust and represent him are the cabinet scholars, the youngest Zhou Zhengye is about sixty, and he can't send people to the border city with such a few old bones.

Sheng Hong's words made Li Qiao's eyes widen in surprise, he had just pressed the mind of going to the border city, but now Sheng Hong wanted him to go to the border city?

But after two seconds, he immediately responded: "Yes." ”

"Are you afraid?" Sheng Hong said with some hesitation: "If you are afraid, I will let ......"

"Wechen is not afraid!"

Li Qiao immediately shook her head, and her voice was sonorous: "The prince can go to the border city, and Weichen can naturally go too, the border city is now solid, why should Weichen be afraid?" ”

"Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid!"

Li Qiao's voice and expression were extremely determined.

Sheng Hong saw that he really had no fear, so he put his mind at ease: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, you first take a look at the daily recitals in the border city, and when you arrive in the border city, check that these recitals are not realistic." Three days later, I will leave with the coal you donated. ”

"Yes!"

Li Qiao responded loudly.

The reports in the border city were all made by Sheng Hong personally, although Li Qiao was involved in a little bit of military affairs, but he had no right to inquire about such confidential matters before.

Now that Sheng Hong asked him to read it, he quickly skimmed through the recital of this period of time.

Sheng Hong sat aside and explained the situation to him.

The border city now has an army of 120,000, plus the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, a total of less than 300,000.

The border city is actually a small city, but it is not an isolated city.

The border city was a bazaar established in order to trade with the Hu people in the previous dynasty, and later the two sides came and went more, and slowly developed from the bazaar to a small city.

Therefore, the border city was built at the junction of Dasheng and the Hu people, and the border city was followed by the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is not an isolated wall, behind the Great Wall is a military town, an important city, and the Great Wall together form a solid defensive network.

Therefore, the troops in the border city are not weak at all, and there is no danger in this trip.

On that day, Li Qiao did not return home until dark.
