The Red Mansions

Chapter 764 Qingwen: Hmph, this is worn inside!

Chapter 764 Qingwen: Hmph, this is worn inside!

Twilight fell, the drizzle lingered, and the sky and the earth became more and more vast. The streets in Jinling City had already been lit with lanterns, and a large number of guards from the Jinyi Mansion lined up on the streets paved with bluestones, and came to Ningrong City. government.

In the evening, Jia Heng returned to Ningguo Mansion by car from Fusi Town, Jinyi Mansion. The sky was a little dark, and when he returned to the brightly lit courtyard, the orange lights were on.

Just as Jia Heng sat down, she looked up at Qingwen, who was clearly wearing light makeup, and asked, "Qingwen, where is sister Lin?"

Qingwen pouted while holding the teacup, and said softly: "My lord, the aunt of Sister-in-law Zhu's family brought two girls to talk to Sister-in-law You, and Miss Lin is talking with her right now. "

It turned out that it was Li Wan's aunt, Cao Shi, who brought her daughters Li Wen and Li Qi to visit You Shi.

When Youshi lived in Jinling, because his status was not awkward, he usually had no contact with the daughter-in-law of the [-]th house in Jinling. However, Li Wan's aunt, Cao Shi, talked to Youshi several times when she was offering sacrifices to Jia Zhen. In other words, both of them are widows, they are in the same situation, and after going back and forth, they become familiar with each other.

In the past six months, Mrs. Cao often came to talk to Mrs. You.

Jia Heng nodded, but didn't say anything.

After Jing Qingwen reminded him like this, he vaguely remembered Li Wan's father, Li Shouzhong, the former Nanjing Imperial College Jijiu Li Shouzhong, who lives in Jinling at the moment, and is now at home unemployed.

After he arrived in Jinling, he didn't even visit this lord.

Li Shouzhong's age was actually no more than fifty, because after his mother passed away, he resigned from office and stayed in mourning for three years, and then he never planned to come back.

This is also a common situation encountered by ancient officials watching the funeral of their parents. A clean stream like Li Shouzhong must have to watch for three years.

"Before I was busy with salt work, I couldn't get away. Maybe I should take time to meet these old relatives." Jia Heng picked up the teacup and thought.

From the perspective of strengthening the power of the Jia family, the four families of King Xue of Jia Shi belong to the circle of nobles and nobles, while the peripheral in-laws such as the Li family and the Lin family are the wings of civil servants.

Therefore, it can be seen that some of the layouts of Ningrong and Rongfu are at least quite high in the generation of Daishan and Daihua. There are not only son-in-law gangs like Lin Ruhai, but also marriages between grandchildren and civil servants.

"My lord, Zhao Qianhu's report." Jia Heng was sipping tea and thinking about it. Li Shu, a hundred households in brocade clothes, interrupted Jia Heng's thoughts. He walked quickly from the outside and bowed to report to Jia Heng. road.

"Oh." Jia Heng quickly put down the teacup, took the letter from Li Shu, and read it by a light on the high table, reading the words on it, his face gradually showed a color of thought.

At this moment, Chen Xiao entered the hall, with curiosity in her clear eyes, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Jia Heng handed the letter in his hand to Chen Xiao, and said in a low voice, "There is the latest news from Haojing. Let's go to Haojing after we have a preliminary understanding of the salt affairs and military affairs."

In terms of Haojing, since the last years of Emperor Taizong, in order to combat the forces of remnants, a 15-year lease agreement was signed with Portugal, which had lived in Haojing since the Jiajing period of the previous Ming Dynasty. After defeating the Dutch, the Portuguese have gained momentum since then.

But the agreement had already expired, but Chen Han never renewed the contract after the defeat of Liaodong, and he did not mention Hao Jing's historical status.

The Guangdong side also opened their eyes and closed their eyes. Now I heard that Jia Heng, Minister of Military Aircraft, sent people to Macau on business, and he wanted to use the red-clothed cannons from Macau and other places. As the governor of Macau, Bujialu, he wanted to take this opportunity to settle the lease of Macau. The question of historical status.

After Chen Xiao read the letter, Yu Rong looked solemn and said, "These red barbarians are probably not easy to deal with."

Jia Heng said: "This time it is not only Hongyi Cannon, but also take this opportunity to use Haojing as a window for trade and observation of foreign countries."

It is now the 17th century, when artillery technology is developing rapidly, and there is still maritime trade, the big Han will eventually open up.

In other words, he really needs to make a trip in person to introduce the Hongyi cannon into the new navy, try it out in the navy first, and then go north to prepare the captives.

Chen Xiao asked in surprise: "The Hongyi cannon, is it really as powerful as you said?"

"I don't know anything else, but the range of the cannon is much longer than that of the current cannon." Jia Heng said softly.

The red-clothed cannon is like the bow of the Han Dynasty. Through the exchange of ordnance, it can help the big man quickly build confidence on the battlefield.

Today's big men are afraid of Jurchen like a tiger. First of all, they have to disenchant "Jurchen is less than ten thousand and invincible".

Chen Xiao said softly: "Then we can't delay for too long."

Jia Heng nodded and said: "In a few days, I will report to the imperial court and Chen Zuo about this matter."

At this time, the mandarin ducks came from the back house. The girl was wearing a scallion cotton skirt and a plain jacket. On her duck-egg face, which was white and greasy like snow, there were a few freckles like sparse stars, which was still pretty and soft. Said: "Uncle, Miss Lin heard that you are back, and asked you to go back to have dinner."

Jia Heng looked at Yuanyang and said softly, "I'll go right away."

Turning to look at Chen Xiao, he said, "Jinyi Mansion is keeping an eye on those people. They probably caused trouble in the past two days, and they will report any news at any time."

Chen Ling responded, staring at the young man, and sighed softly.

While Jia Heng was talking, he went to the backyard with Yuanyang.

"Grandpa went to the Zhen family today? How is the Zhen family doing now?" Yuanyang asked curiously.

Jia Heng nodded, stared at the girl, smiled and said: "There are a lot of people coming for the funeral, and it will probably be lively for a few days."

I don't know it's his delusion, the mandarin duck who has become a married woman has lost the youthfulness of a girl, not only the body, but also the facial features seem to have opened up a lot, and the white greasy face is slightly smiling.

"Master, what do you want to see me do?" Yuanyang said softly, seeing embarrassment and joy.

Jia Heng gently picked up the girl's slender catkin, brought it into his arms, and said softly: "Mandarin ducks are getting more and more juicy and beautiful."

"Master, Miss Lin is still waiting." Yuanyang's cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were full of anger.

Jia Heng said softly: "Then let her wait a little longer."

mandarin duck:"……"

The girl's heart trembled slightly, and she was about to speak, but at some point, she walked under the shadow of a wall of flowers, and the young man had already moved closer, and the familiar soft breath came, and immediately, her lips were pressed.

Jia Heng gently embraced Yuanyang's slender waist, looked at the girl with a duck face, and said softly, "Yuanyang, do you miss me?"

"Master." The mandarin duck's jade cheeks were as red as clouds, and the sweetness in her heart was overwhelming.

Seeing the intimacy between the boy and Daiyu these days, Yuanyang knows Jia Heng's love for Daiyu, but also cares about Yuanyang's feelings.

"Don't call me uncle in the future, just call me husband." Jia Heng leaned into Yuanyang's ear and whispered: "I like to hear you call me like that."

This was originally the name that Jia Heng asked Yuanyang to call when the two were entangled on the bed, but in normal times, she didn't call her.

The mandarin duck bowed its head, its duck-egg cheeks were already as hot as fire, and said in a trembling voice, "Husband."

Jia Heng smiled, and said softly: "From now on, when no one is around, just call me like this."

Yuanyangxue's cheeks were blushed, stretching all the way to her neck, she responded with a muffled "hmm", and then followed Jia Heng to Daiyu's courtyard.

In the past few nights, it is impossible for Jia Heng who bleated Daiyu to be alone, and almost always fell asleep in the same room with the mandarin ducks.

While the two were talking, they entered the flower hall of the back hall, and just as they walked under the eaves, they heard bursts of laughter coming from the backyard. You Shi was sitting on a pear flower wooden chair beside the small table, and was with a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, The plump woman was talking.

And Daiyu also talked to two slim girls. Both of them were wearing half-new blue and white plain skirts. They were thin, with a bun in a bun. Their duck-egg faces were as soft as water, and their skin was as fair as jade. Clear, when she smiled, the girl with bright eyes and white teeth was a little bit shy, just like Xiaojiabiyu.

It was Li Wan's two cousins, Li Wen and Li Qi.

The two little girls, who were thirteen or fourteen years old, were immature. In the original book, Baoyu smiled and said: "It's even more surprising that you always only say that Sister Bao is a stunning figure. Look at him now." Sister, and even the two sisters, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, I can't describe..."

Well, you can always trust Dalianbao's vision. Baoyu said that the second sister You and the third sister You are really a beautiful couple.

However, even for Mr. Cao, it is still difficult to outline the two little girls in the superficial words. Perhaps in the following texts, Li Wan's fate will be used to give them ink. After all, Li Wan's judgment must have a beginning and an end, but only the first eight Passed back to the world.

"The uncle is here." Mammy said softly.

The few people who were talking raised their eyes to look at the young man and the mandarin duck under the eaves, with either surprise or anticipation on their faces.

Daiyu's starry eyes were condensed, she looked at the boy, there was no one else in her eyes, she saw the boy in the python suit enter the hall, stood up gracefully, approached, and said softly: "Brother Heng, are you back?"

Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm back."

You Shi got up, the young woman was wearing a blue and white patterned dress, her plain face showed a slight smile, and the faint sorrowful widow's aura in her eyebrows and eyes was not as good as Zhen Qing's, but it had another meaning, said "This is Mrs. Cao, the aunt of Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law, and she brought two girls over to visit."

Daiyu also introduced, "These are the two younger sisters of Mrs. Zhu."

"I've seen Big Brother Heng." Li Wen and Li Qi took a look at the tall and handsome young man, they approached and said, their snow-clear face was already blushing a little.

Jia Heng nodded, and stared at Li Wen and Li Qi. Seeing that the two sisters lowered their heads shyly, they didn't look too much.

Under You Shi's beautiful eyebrows, she looked at the young man with her beautiful eyes, and asked, "Zi Yu, how is the situation at the Zhen family?"

Jia Heng said softly: "I'm busy with the funeral, and I have to stay for seven days. The clan will go to worship in these few days."

Sitting down, he looked at Mrs. Cao and said, "Auntie, is Li Shibo alright at home?"

"Brother, he is in good health, and now in the school of the clan, he is teaching the children of the clan to read. It's the year of the imperial examination competition in the past two years, and there are still many children in the clan who want to take the imperial examination." Cao smiled. Looking at the boy on the opposite side, I was secretly stunned. The boy's face is young, is that true?

Jia Heng nodded, and said: "I was planning to visit the mansion after waiting for two days when the military affairs are not busy."

Li Shouzhong still needs to get in touch with him, and after he understands his temperament and conduct, he will make further calculations.

Seeing a few people talking, Daiyu saw a brisk smile on her beautiful face, and ordered: "Xi Ren, see if the food in the back kitchen is ready."

This undoubtedly made the girl look like the mistress of Ning Kingdom.

The attacker responded with an "ah", and then turned away.

Mrs. Cao looked at Jia Heng, and asked with concern: "I haven't seen you in Beijing for a few years. I don't know how Wan'er and her child are doing now. I heard from Mrs. You that Lan Geer usually studies hard."

Jia Heng's complexion remained unchanged, but there was something strange in his heart.

Waner?Fortunately Li Wan was not there, if he called Li Wan face to face like this, Li Wan would probably die in shame on the spot.

Jia Heng pondered: "Lang Geer is very motivated in his studies. I think that Jia's family has not been born in the imperial examination for so many years, so that Lang Geer can become an official through the imperial examination."

Mrs. Cao nodded and said with a smile, "If Brother Lan can pass the imperial examination, that would be the best."

Jia Heng chatted with Cao Shi one after another, and then Xiren ordered the servant girl to serve the meal.

After Jia Heng finished dinner, he went to the study on the pretext of having something to do, and Youshi led the maids Yindie and Chaodouer, and led Cao Shi to the courtyard where he lived.

Li Wen and Li Qi went to the courtyard with Daiyu to talk.

You Shi took Cao Shi's hand, and said softly: "Auntie, Wen'er and Qi'er, it's okay to stay here for one night, it's so late, and there is a lot of water on the road."

Mrs. Cao smiled, and said: "If that Uncle Heng is not in the mansion, it's nothing to live in the mansion as before, but now he stays overnight, gossiping."

There was a smile between You Shi's soft eyebrows, and said softly: "How old is he? He's just a child, so why is my aunt worried about gossip?"

The beauty told insincere lies, she felt her heart pounding, and her snowy cheeks felt a little hot, for such a child, she sometimes tossed and turned.

Mrs. Cao said softly: "That's what I said, but it's not very good after all. Speaking of which, this Uncle Heng is really kind-hearted. When you came back from Beijing, you even sent someone to escort you all the way. You live in the mansion. Let me see. The attitude is still respectful."

Youshi nodded his head, his absent-minded eyes flicked the candles on the table, he pursed his moist lips, and did not speak.

Perhaps it was because of being too respectful.

Mrs. Cao looked at Youshi, who had calmed down and had a gentle face, and said softly: "Don't blame me for talking too much. We widows who are unemployed rely on the support of the clan. If the patriarch treats you harshly, you will feel uncomfortable. If you are kind-hearted, life will be easier, but when you are in your forties and fifties, it will not be successful without a son and a half to rely on."

In fact, the youthful and widowed You Shi in front of him is only in his 20s, yet he is just so widowed.

It is even more pitiful than her, and it is even more difficult to wait for her age.

You Shi retracted her mind, raised her eyes to look at Cao Shi, her eyes were as bright as autumn water, and said softly: "Auntie is talking to me because she treats me as her own."

For the rest of her life, she was doomed to be alone.

Cao asked curiously: "What did the old lady in the house say?"

You Shi was surprised, and immediately understood Cao Shi's implication, lowered her soft eyebrows, and said softly: "The old lady said that the family will take care of my daily necessities, so I don't want to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao sighed and said, "The old lady is also cruel."

Isn't the Li family so cruel? She was a widow for ten years and brought up two girls. The family didn't say anything to let her remarry.

Because the atmosphere in the southern province is open, there are quite a few people who remarry after the death of their husbands, so there is no problem.

Youshi sighed softly, and said: "The patriarch said, if I want to remarry, he will come to persuade the old lady."

But she didn't want to remarry either, there was always a throbbing in her heart, but she didn't know where it came from, but she just got up, and was quickly strangled by Youshi.

Fortunately, the two younger sisters were able to accompany him in the future, and she also gained a certain kind of strange peace in her heart.

When Mrs. Cao heard the words, she was surprised, and asked, "Brother Heng really said that?"

Youshi nodded slightly, and under the candlelight, there was a look of disappointment on the beautiful and speechless jade face, and said: "But once you have entrusted someone to someone else, it is half a lifetime of suffering, and if you marry someone, what can you do? "

In the past, she was the wife of the third rank, and usually appointed servants in the mansion, so what if she remarried?If you encounter it, it is not good, it is better to be clean now.

Cao took You's hand and said with emotion: "If you can remarry, you should remarry, otherwise, after two years, when you toss and turn in the middle of the night and can't sleep, you will know how uncomfortable it is."

When You Shi heard the words, her heart skipped a beat, she felt her whole body was hot from what she said, her face was flushed like fire, and she said softly: "Auntie is very polite, why are you talking about this?"

The Li family in Jinling is not very strict, how could they say that?However, she has survived in this way all these years.

Looking at You Shi, who was already blushing, Cao Shi chuckled, and jokingly said, "What's wrong with that? Those men control us to remarry, and how can we control what we think at night?"

It has to be said that this is a woman with two children, and she doesn't have too many taboos about eating and drinking.

You Shi said angrily, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Cao didn't continue talking, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk, it's getting late, I should go back."

Youshi raised his beautiful head, with reluctance in his wonderful eyes, and said softly: "Then auntie will come over to be our guest tomorrow."

After all, Youshi was in his youth, and Jinling City was not like Shenjing City. There were no peers like Sister Feng who spoke frankly, Daiyu was young, and strictly speaking, the two were still... rivals in love.

The appearance of Cao Shi undoubtedly gave You Shi an extra speaker.

Mrs. Cao nodded with a smile, and then, escorted by Youshi, she carried a lantern and went to the Daiyu courtyard to look for the two girls.

On the other side, Li Wen and Li Qi followed Daiyu to the wing room where they lived. The two sisters walked to the closet by the west window and looked at the bookcase full of books. , said softly: "Sister Lin, are there so many books here?"

There was a smile in Daiyu Liumeixing's eyes, she raised her eyes to look at Li Wen, and said softly: "Zicuckoo bought this from outside not long ago, and I usually use it to read to relieve boredom. Your family is a scholarly family, and you have a collection of books. It should be more than that."

Seeing a pure smile on Li Wenshu's beautiful face, she said: "There are a lot of books in the clan, but they are all read by the CCP, and they can only be borrowed. There are no such books in the boudoir of my sister and I." Lots of books."

Daiyu's starry eyes sparkled, she chuckled lightly, and said, "Then it's really a book that must be borrowed."

In this place far away from Shenjing, in this Ningguo Mansion, the girl may not even realize that the old "littleness and sourness" are gradually gone, and she even has the bearing of a headed wife in her dealings with others.

In other words, being pampered by Jia Heng in various ways, there is no need to face "360 days a year, wind, knife, frost, and sword are threatening each other". When the environment changes, the whole person's mood changes, especially at this moment, it is not as good as it was before. In the capital, you can still hide behind, following elders like Sister Feng.

Otherwise, how could there be a sequel to "Lin Daiyu Defends the Grand View Garden"?

Li Qi's bright and clear eyes showed curiosity, and asked in a playful voice: "The books that my sister and I usually read are all collections of classics and history. What kind of books does sister Lin usually read?"

Because of the strict family upbringing of the Li family and the early death of the two sisters' father, Li Shouzhong regarded them as his own, and refused to allow the two sisters to read other miscellaneous books except for the classics and history collections.

Daiyu smiled, and said softly: "I read a little miscellaneous. I can read all kinds of books. There are also scripts and dramas."

Hearing this, Li Wen's bright eyes shone slightly under his fine eyebrows, and he said softly: "At home, uncle doesn't let us see these, he just said that we just need to read and know a few words."

As the original book said, Li Shouzhong only found some books such as "Biography of Martyrs" for Li Wan to read. Although the two nieces left by his younger brother were not as strict as his own daughter, they were in normal life. The family education is also quite strict.

Among the sisters of the Li family, the older sister Li Wen is quiet, loves to read, and is beautiful and intelligent, while the younger sister Li Qi is smart, lively, and charming.

Daiyu looked at Li Wen softly, and said softly, "Sister Wen, watch slowly."

Li Wen thanked him, and came to the closet alone, picked up a copy of "Tangxi Notes" on the shelf of the closet, and read it by candlelight.

Li Qi followed Daiyu to the dressing table, looked at the various jewelry on the dressing table, her bright eyes sparkled, and said softly, "Sister, why are there so many jewelry here?"

Because of Li Shouzhong's willingness to live in poverty, the Li family only guarded some land for a living, and the two girls lost their father early, so the family was inevitably financially struggling. Even the clothes worn by the younger sister were left over from the elder sister when she grew up.

Looking at Daiyu now, I might feel envious, but the little girl didn't say anything.

Daiyu said softly, "I usually buy them myself, and some are gifts from elders."

As he spoke, he picked up a hairpin that he seldom wore on weekdays, and with a smile on his face, he said, "Sister, try this?"

Li Qi took a closer look and found that it was a jadeite pearl hairpin. It was crystal clear, the small flowers were lifelike, and the workmanship was exquisite. The girl liked it a little when she saw it, but the good tutor passed the pearl hairpin over, and said a little embarrassedly: "This is my sister's hairpin." , how can I wear it well?"

Daiyu said softly: "I don't usually wear this much. If my sister likes it, she can just wear it."

Anyway, Brother Heng didn't give her this hairpin. If Brother Heng saw that she didn't have a hairpin to wear, he would probably give her a new one.

It's not that Daiyu has never seen jewelry and wants Jia Heng to give a gift, but the sweetness between lovers, which makes the girl indulge in it and can't extricate herself.

But Li Qi thought about it, and finally suppressed her liking, and said: "It's really not good to accept Sister Lin's gift."

Daiyu's starry eyes were shining brightly, and she said softly: "Sister, it's just a gift when we first meet. If my sister feels sorry, how about giving me this bracelet?"

The bracelet the girl is wearing is an ordinary red string tied with Buddhist beads, which cannot be compared with Daiyu's hairpin with beads.

"This..." Li Qi said with some hesitation.

Zijuan smiled and said: "It was my girl's kind intentions, so Miss Li will keep it first."

Daiyu took Li Qi's hand, looked at the bead necklace on Ningshuanghao's wrist, and said softly: "Sister, don't you want to give me this bracelet?"

"No." Li Qirou said softly.

At this time, Li Wen came over and met his sister's eyes asking for help, Li Wen said softly: "Since it's Sister Lin's kindness, I just accept it."

Seeing this, Li Qi nodded, looked at Daiyu, and said, "Thank you sister for your kindness."

The two exchanged things, and the two little girls felt that each other was much closer.

He dragged Li Wen and Li Qi to the bed, talking about himself.

"Why don't the two elder sisters stay at the house for a few more days? Let's talk." Daiyu stared at the two and said softly.

When he was not at home, she was quite bored at home alone during the day, and it would be better if she had two older sisters to accompany her.

Li Wen and his younger sister looked at each other, and his heart was a little moved, and he said softly: "Then I will ask mother later?"

At this time, the nurse outside called softly: "You two young ladies, my wife is calling you to go over."

Li Wen put down the book in his hand, stared at Li Qi, followed Daiyu out of the wing, and immediately came to the hall.

Cao said with a smile: "Miss Lin, it's getting late, I'll take the two of them back."

Daiyu said softly: "Auntie, how about the two sisters staying here for two days? I don't have any playmates in the manor, so it can be more lively if the two sisters play here."

Cao's smile paused slightly when she heard the words, but she hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Wen and Li Qi, and said with a smile, "What do you two think?"

Li Wen raised his eyes and said softly: "My sister and I listen to mother."

You Shi smiled and persuaded: "It's better to let the two girls stay at the house for a few days, it happens that Miss Lin also lacks a companion."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao nodded and said with a smile, "Then you stay here first, and I'll come back tomorrow."

Li Wen and Li Qi responded lightly, followed Daiyu to the wing, the three girls were talking again.

Then, accompanied by an old woman, Mrs. Cao left Ningguo Mansion in a carriage and headed towards the house where the Li family lived.

In the study room, Jia Heng was reading some books compiled by Jiangnan Daying in the past two days, and writing records on the side with a brush from time to time. Jiangnan Daying originally had five guards. However, there are many corresponding adjustments in details.

At this time, Qingwen brought a cup of tea, handed it over, and said softly: "Young master, drink tea."

Jia Heng nodded, looked at Qingwen, and said softly, "Put it on the table."

Qingwen didn't say much, and sat on a chair not far away, holding a needle and thread and light blue cloth and began to sew. The girl was as dexterous as a butterfly, threading the needle.

The weather is cold, and she is going to sew a middle coat for the young master, huh, this is for wearing inside!

……

……

In the night, the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridor swayed non-stop with the wind, reflecting the two big characters of "Zhao Mansion" on the black plaque clearly visible.

At this moment, in the flower hall, there are cups, plates, chopsticks, and dishes. From time to time, there are voices of pushing cups and changing cups, shouting and drinking.

Zhao Jian, Commander of the Leopard Guards of the Jiangnan Camp, He Zhao, Commander of the Left Guard of Huben, Yan Yun, Commander of the Right Guard, Shang Shougang, Commander of the Right Guard of Huben, Zhang Fan, Commander of the Tongzhi, and several generals of the Jiangnan Camp Get together at a wine table, eat wine and discuss matters.

Among them, the oldest is in his early fifties, and the youngest is in his early forties. They are all generals who went to Annan to make contributions with Annan Hou Yezhen.

Although many people have begun to gain weight due to years of pampering and enjoying themselves, and their waists have belly fat, but the courageous spirit cultivated by the bloody fights in those years can still be seen from time to time.

"Old Zhao, what did Lord Hou say?" He Zhao, a general with thick brows and big eyes and a Chinese face, asked anxiously at this moment.

Zhao Jian's face was gloomy, and he said, "Master Hou advised me to hand over some 2 to [-] taels of silver I've taken over the years, and then step back, so that the young men in the army can make further contributions."

"Where are we going to get money here? In these years, our salary has not added up to 2 to [-] taels." Shang Shougang, the commander of the Huben Right Guard, said angrily.

"How old are we? It doesn't matter if we work until we reach sixty, how can we just retire like this?" Zhang Fan, the commander of Huben Right Guard, interrupted Zhao Jian's words, and said angrily.

"I think Lord Hou is getting old. That kid was lucky enough to win a battle in Haimen. Compared with our brothers who won 28 cities in Annan, the credits that kid made are nothing compared to that." ?” Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

Zhao Jian said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Marquis Annan has a high prestige in the eyes of the old subordinates. Even now, although the generals have resentment, they don't talk about it behind their backs.

He Zhao took a sip of the wine and said unhappy: "This morning, nephew Ye went to Jiangbei, saying that he was going to Zhenhaiwei to serve as a general. Lord Hou bowed his head. Back then, the governor of Liangjiang wanted to reorganize the army. Lord Hou also said that there is only one navy division, and now the entire army is involved in the entire Jiangnan camp, this is to catch us all."

Zhao Jian sighed, frowned and said, "Master Hou also has the difficulties of Master Hou. That kid is so red and purple in front of the palace, Master Hou also wants to avoid his sharp edge."

The reason why, privately calling Jia Heng as a child, without him, because Jia Heng is really too young, so he called Huangkou Xiaoer.

Yan Yun opened his sleepy eyes and said softly: "Old Zhao, there is news from an acquaintance at the Ministry of War that the boy went to the Ministry of War and arrested the two ministers who have been transporting ordnance to the Jiangnan camp for these years. Falsely report the accounts, and use the two Ministry of War as rafts."

"I think it's better to lead the soldiers tomorrow morning and surround the tent in the Jiangnan camp, and let that kid give an explanation!" Zhang Fan said angrily, his pupils bloodshot.

As soon as this remark came out, it was as if the scene was cold. The faces of the few people who were drinking were full of surprise, while the generals were drinking with their heads down, as if they hadn't heard it.

Coercing soldiers to mutiny is not a joke. Once the court finds out, it is almost a crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

Seeing that all the generals were silent, Zhang Fan said: "Otherwise, we would just willingly hand over our life savings and leave the barracks in disgrace. Brothers, are you willing?"

At this time, Shang Shou just put down his chopsticks, landed on the porcelain bowl, and made a "clang" sound, which seemed to show his firm determination, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhang is right, otherwise, we will be kicked out of the camp." If you are kicked out, and you don't have any money, how will you live the rest of your life?"

Although it is only to recover [-]% of the greedy soldier's salary, when the greedy ink was moved to the house year after year, now it is a large sum of money all at once, not only the flesh hurts, but the heart is bleeding.

Yan Yun said in a deep voice: "What the old merchant said is that there is a commotion, the Ministry of War in Jinling and the spokesperson of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must have heard the news to impeach the boy, and it is appropriate to reorganize the military."

He Zhao's expression became silent for a while, and he persuaded: "Brother Zhang and Brother Yan, don't be reckless, the matter has not reached that point yet."

Several other generals exchanged glances, faintly feeling that things were going to be dangerous.
