Jiang Yongchun chatted with Zhou and the fat man in the back house for a while, Jiang Yongchun remembered that his son brought back two beautiful daughters-in-law, and sighed in his heart for a while, suddenly sighed, shook his head and said: "My daughter, everything is good, martial arts are good, strength is great, and she is born with a chivalrous heart, but this appearance is too with me, and I can't get married until now, I am really sad to death! Alas, although it is said that marriage is destined, but I am not confident in my heart!"

Zhou suddenly smiled and said: "Old Jiang, I see this girl in our family, like you two, blessed, don't worry, what are you worried about, maybe she can be a princess or even a mother in the future, do you say?" Jiang Yongchun almost cried when he heard this, although parents love their children, but you are not so confident, right?

The fat man scratched his head on the side, "Mother, you can beat Brother Tang's idea, Brother Tang has already married four daughters-in-law, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and fourth sister-in-law, all of them are as long as flowers and jade, and he will not want to be my brother-in-law." Besides, he has a psychological shadow on my sister, when my sister avenged me, she was a little ruthless, and she almost didn't sit old Tang to death, and old Tang still has palpitations when he recalls it now!"

Jiang Yongchun chatted for a while, stood up and glared at Jiang Fat, "Rabbit cub, come with me to the study to have tea for a while, the county guard is still there!" The fat man agreed, stood up, said goodbye to his mother, and Zhou smiled and sent you two out. The two of them went out of the main room of the back house, Jiang Yongchun walked in front with his hands behind his back, and the fat man followed by him, Jiang Yongchun suddenly said angrily: "You rabbit cub, I haven't been to the Qinglou for most of the year!

The fat man hurriedly jumped to the side, and said with a nervous face: "I said Dad, it's not right for you to be like this now! We are both fourth-grade generals, and we are of the same rank! You won't still think about doing something to me, right? We will be ministers in the same palace in the future, and besides, I am still in the prime of life, and in the future, maybe the officials will be bigger than your old man!"

Jiang Yongchun was furious, looked around, and was about to find a stick to beat the fat man, when he suddenly saw a clothes-pounding pestle drying outside, ran over and grabbed it in his hand, looked at the fire in the fat man's eyes, and scolded indignantly: "You are at the same level as me? Lao Tzu is your father!" Jiang Yongchun picked up the clothes-pounding pestle and chased the fat man behind.

The fat man shouted, "I knew you would say that!" The fat man ran wildly in front of him as he ran, looking back as he ran. In the back house of the Jiangling General's Mansion, a big fat man with a flexible figure carried a clothes pestle, chasing and beating a little fat man with a flexible figure, the picture was very joyful, and the fat man said loudly while running: "It's been like this since I was a child, just do it if you say it, are you interesting?"

The two of them were chasing chickens and dogs jumping, and suddenly the housekeeper Tao Tongsheng rushed in outside, seeing that the two of them were chasing and killing in the back house, it was not surprising that Tao Tongsheng stood aside and said loudly: "Master, Jiang Ping came back to report the news, saying that the second young master is also back for the New Year! Jiang Ping is a scholar of the Jiang family, and he has been following the second young master Jiang Zhenliang since he was a child, and he is not leaving the left and right.

Jiang Yongchun stopped chasing the fat man, panting for a long time, and then he was overjoyed: "Oh, great! All of them are back! This year, our family is going to have a happy year! Hahahaha...... Okay, okay, I'll go out of the city to pick up my son in person!" Jiang Yongchun turned his head to look at the fat man, and asked angrily, "Rabbit cub, are you going?"

The fat man jumped up and said excitedly: "Go, why don't you go!" Why don't I pick him up when my brother comes back?" Jiang Yongchun threw the clothes-pounding pestle to Tao Tongsheng, Tao Tongsheng caught it steadily, Jiang Yongchun didn't change his clothes, and said loudly: "Old Tao, go to the study and tell the county guard to tell him not to go, I will pick up my second son and come to drink with him!" Tao Tongsheng hurriedly agreed and went to the direction of the study.

When there was still more than half a month before the New Year, Tang Jiusheng suddenly summoned Qi Siyuan, Xin Zhiping, Qiao Chongliang, Xu Zichu, Jin Chengzhang and others to Mingyi Hall for a meeting. Tang Jiusheng and everyone sat around the round table, the little maid Mo Xiang took two tea maids to pour tea and water for the prince and the adults, and there were some delicate snacks such as plum blossom cakes and cantaloupe and other fruits from the Western Regions on the table.

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Brothers, everyone has been busy for so long, and finally only rested for a few days, this time it is almost the New Year, I am very embarrassed to call you here for a meeting again! However, although the one-eyed Ji Tianda, the lord of Dufeng Mountain, was killed outside Anshu City by He Yongjiang, the lord of the old Longshan village, Lu Daniu, the lord of the second village, gathered his 4,000 defeated soldiers and continued to cause trouble in the area of Dufeng Mountain. ”

Xin Zhiping scratched his head and added: "Brother Tang, I'm afraid you still have to say that He Yongjiang, the master of the old Longshan Village, still has tens of thousands of horses under his hands, right? Are you going to send troops to them during the Chinese New Year and want to take them by surprise?"

Tang Jiusheng nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Xin is extremely true, my brother has this plan, but I can't even rest for the New Year, and I am very unhappy in my heart." But when I think of the common people harmed by these thieves and robbers also have a bad year, my heart as a prince is very uncomfortable, everyone knows before, the palace has also sent people to try Zhao'an, but these thieves do not accept Zhao'an at all, except for the attack, there is no other way. ”

Qiao Chongliang's eyes rolled, and he asked tentatively: "Lord Wang, it's not impossible to attack Dufeng Mountain and Laolong Mountain." It's just that now that the New Year is approaching, or to do something to these two big villages during the New Year, the brothers will inevitably have some complaints in their hearts, and only under the heavy reward will there be brave men, so silver is indispensable!"

Xu Zichu frowned and said: "Second Brother Qiao, you also know a thing or two about the situation of the palace and the envoy yamen, now the cattle that have just been pacified are all over the ground, if it weren't for the local gentry who provided some food and salary before, the treasury would simply be unable to make ends meet, and it would be difficult to continue, where can I find a lot of silver at this time?

Qi Siyuan looked at Qiao Chongliang, who was smiling, and was silent. Euphorbia Jin Chengzhang said unabashedly: "As long as there is silver and soldiers, it is not a problem to attack the grass robbers of any cottage, I can not spend the New Year in the city, and it is nothing to make up for the New Year after getting rid of these bandits, as long as I can give an explanation to the brothers." Lord, what do you think about this?"

Tang Jiusheng spread his hands and looked embarrassed: "Everyone, this king is now a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice, this has no silver, and this king also has a headache! This king wants to do things again, and he has no money, so he asked you to come over to discuss a countermeasure." Besides, it's going to be the New Year again, and we have to use money everywhere, let's take charge of Jiannan, and we can't do anything without silver, so I called everyone here to help my brother come up with ideas. ”

Qi Siyuan suddenly smiled and said: "Lord Wang, Chongliang already has an idea, he is now the think tank of the palace, and he has a good plan, you can ask him about this matter, you can't keep it wrong! I have changed positions now, and the palace will listen to Chongliang's arrangement." Whatever he says, I'll just cooperate with him!"

Qiao Chongliang laughed and said: "Look at our deputy envoy of the strategy, now in Jiannan Dao, except for the prince and the princess, you are the biggest official, you have pushed the responsibility cleanly, how can you do such a thing! But if you want to attack these two cottages, I really have an idea in my heart, but I don't know if the prince has the courage!"
