"It seems that it is time for a woman to be by your side."

Cheng Hongyuan returned to Guangzhou with an invitation to consider Chen Mu's invitation to be a physician under his command, and Chen Mu, who saw off Cheng Hongyuan, was still haunted by the 'hidden disease' in the twilight.

At his age, in his early twenties, his brother and son will call him dad, but he is still alone, and he doesn't blame Cheng Hongyuan for guessing that he is suffering from a hidden disease - don't blame a fart, Cheng Hongyuan is an unserious old bastard!

That being said, where did he find a female relative who knew the cold and was willing to be by his side?

Qingyuanwei's woman hasn't seen much of the world, and most of the people who have seen the world are from Gaomen, so they may not be able to look down on him as a military leader, right?

The road is long, and the repair is long.

Li Tao, a man from Heyuan, was a trustworthy man, and in just half a month, the Thousand Households of Qingcheng welcomed Chen Zongqi's guest, a Heyuan Luodi Xiucai who rode a mule in a green shirt and his young scholar and a sturdy servant carrying a long stick.

The mule was hung from the waist and hips in a basket containing books and a change of clothes.

Of course, the most striking thing is the books, the mountains of books.

The rest of the army in the guard has never seen so many books in his life, and ordinary general banners may not have two or three books at home, and even Chen Mu only has two books given to him by Bai Yuanjie in his hand, who has seen so many books?

Pointing and pointing all the way, Qingcheng Junyu didn't even know what etiquette they should do to Xiucai, some hugged their fists embarrassed Xiucai and didn't know whether to return the salute, and some kneeling frightened Xiucai hurriedly went to help.

Compared with this, those rude and arrogant banner troops were thrown to Xiucai's big-nosed Confucius, which made Xiucai feel much better.

Xie Ming knew that he was here to be a teacher in the General Banner Mansion of a man who had made meritorious deeds and had a lot of money on the battlefield, but he didn't come to Qingyuanwei to be the master by virtue of Xiucai's identity, so he cautiously asked for directions along the way, and then groped to find Chen Zongqi's yamen.

Of course, the general banner is not qualified to have a yamen, but this does not prevent the people of the Qingcheng Thousand Households from saying that Chen Zongqi is in his general banner yamen.

Xiucai is not a person, and a township test determines their status.

When Xie Ming walked in the country roads of the Thousand Households in Qingcheng, inquired about Chen Zongqi's yamen, and felt the general respect for the general banner yamen by the military remnants, which made him feel complacent in his heart.

It seems that the master of the general banner who hired himself also has a small reputation in the Thousand Households, and his life will be better in the future.

But this idea was completely overturned when he stood in front of the general banner yamen to offer a prayer post.

There were two soldiers with swords in their waists standing outside the Yamen of the General Banner, they couldn't understand what the post was, one ran away with the post in the distance, and the other said with a smile: "This, Xiucai, you first find a cool place to rest, Chen Ye went to the Qianhu Yamen to deal with government affairs, and it is estimated that he will come back in the evening." What the? Why did you go to Qianhu Yamen to deal with government affairs? ”

Qi Zhengyan smiled and was very proud, "Thousands of households have something to go to Guangzhou Mansion, and the affairs of thousands of households will not be on the shoulders of my Chen Ye!" ”

What the old widow said was reasonable and well-founded, but it was also true, but the words were different in Xie Ming's ears.

If I'm not mistaken, there are 100 households on the general flag, right? There are also deputy thousand households and Zhenfu above the hundred households, and Chen Zongqi actually has such a status in the Qingcheng Thousand Households!

Xiucai didn't know that the thousands of households in Qingcheng were about to fall apart, the biggest official was the deputy thousand, and the hundreds of households below were all wasted, and the tallest ones in the short could only pick up Chen Zongqi.

I don't know how long I waited, the sound of horses' hooves came from the sheep's intestines on the ridge, Chen Zongqi rode his horse, turned over and shook the reins, Long Junxiong firmly grasped the reins and tied them to the horse stake outside the yamen, Chen Mu looked left and right, and walked straight towards Xiucai.

"Under Chen Mu, Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time!"

"Don't dare, student Xie Ming, invited by the lifter Li Youlin to apply for a teacher." Xie Ming bowed very standard as he spoke, and said, "I've seen Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction, Xie Ming behaved properly and could distinguish the priorities, but this was already in line with the appearance of the teacher in Chen Mu's heart, the left and right were just enlightened to a few flag officials, and it must be no problem to be able to pass the children's examination and be admitted to Xiucai, and immediately stretched out his hand in front of him and said: "No need to be polite, let's go in and talk." ”

In fact, there is nothing to say, Xie Ming is nothing more than studying hard for ten years, and seeing that the imperial examination is hopeless, he needs to do something to subsidize his family. Chen Mu just needed a teacher, so he was invited to apply here, but he was only a teacher, and he didn't have to take the school knowledge.

Chen Mu took out the bride price of three ingots of silver, and even the monthly meal offering, the two wrote out the contract, and it was considered that an agreement was reached, and Chen Zongqi's family could start school and teach children.

However, in addition, Chen Mu knew that Xie Ming's arithmetic skills were also good, and after a little teaching and examination, he decided to give an extra three stones of grain per month, so that Xie Ming could also hold the position of Mr. Accounts at home.

In addition to the tent, Chen Mu has also recruited three other people in the rest of the guard army in the past few days, divided into cooks, grooms, and servants, and then brought family soldiers.

Either buy a big mansion in Qingcheng, or use the official residence yamen after being promoted, no matter what, this narrow general flag yamen can no longer meet the daily needs of Chen Mu's family.

Autumn has arrived.

In October, the weather was not much cooler, and the autumn harvest of double-cropping rice in Qingcheng Qianhu began.

There is nothing to do with Chen Junye, the harvested farm tools have been prepared, and the old man Zheng took Yu Ding to harvest one by one, and they are all familiar hands, and there is no mess.

I have to say that after the battle of Heyuan, Chen Zongqi's social circle has become a lot bigger, in the past, only Bai Yuanjie and his subordinate Qiding corresponded with him, and now his friends are all over the place, just sent two letters to Li Tao, Li Tao sent a letter to ask his friend Xie Ming to meet Chen Zongqi's mind, and secondly, to inform him that he was about to enter Beijing to catch the exam, and let people move an orchid, which is a farewell.

Chen Mu inquired with Shi Qi and learned that the literati used orchids as a metaphor for the truth of friendship, which made him very embarrassed, so he sent the flag army to buy a luxury pen in Qingyuan City, and asked the flag army to give back to Li Tao of Heyuan, wishing him the title of the gold list.

Originally, he wanted to attach another ingot of whole silver, but later he felt that it was not suitable, so he asked people to buy a thick hair and give it to Li Tao to protect against the cold of the north.

The matter was settled here, but Deng Zilong came as promised with a military letter.

"In Xinjiang, Deng said that he wanted to send you General Qi's military book, Deng came with the book today, Chen Zongqi, do you have wine and food here?"

I didn't see it in March, Deng Zilong was as bold as when he was on the bank of the Xinjiang River, as if he had not been affected by disobedience, which made Chen Mu feel a little relieved, seeing that Deng Zilong was wearing a cloth and martial arts uniform, but he was more heroic and martial at that time, and laughed loudly: "Others are coming, Deng is here, where does Chen dare to have no wine and food, Brother Deng went in and waited, Chen will call someone to get the best roast duck and the best wine in Qingcheng!" ”

"It's not Mr. Deng, my reward has come down." Deng Zilong shook his head, with a somewhat complicated expression on his face, "Now I am also a guard like you, what is the deputy Qianhu in the south of Guangzhou Mansion to prepare the Qianhu Office, you will call me Deng Qianhu in the future!" ”

Vice 1,000 households?

Chen Mu's smile froze on his face.
