In the evening, Xu Hao helped Xiao Shi to take a walk after eating, and today there was an autumn rain, the so-called autumn rain and a cold, and the weather has obviously changed.

The subordinates were busy turning out the autumn clothes and winter clothes to clean up, Xu Hao was talking to his mother while pondering whether to go to Liaodong once, he was really not worried about the situation in the north.

Now that the imperial court is ostensibly dealing with Benjamin's envoys, Zhang Yu and his son have already set off to Beiping, preparing to use 100,000 elite Northern Expeditions.

Although General Qiu Fu had already died in battle, it was unlikely that the whole army would be killed, but deep in the desert grassland, even with sufficient logistics supplies and muskets and artillery, Xu Hao was inevitably worried, and he planned to go to Liaodong to send tens of thousands of troops north to contain it.

It is a pity that radio was not invented, and communication has become the biggest problem, so we can only hope that the staff officers of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces can draw up a detailed and stable battle plan.

When it comes to the talent of leading soldiers to fight, Xu Hao asks himself that he is far inferior to Zhang Yu and his son. But to be honest, he is not optimistic about Zhang Yu, the relatively calm and wise brother-in-law Zhang Fu, although Zhang Yu is said to be all-round in civil and military affairs, but he is too impulsive to fight, Zhang Fu, as a son, will definitely not be able to persuade his father.

In view of this, Xu Hao recommended Yang Rong and Jin Youzi, who were good at military affairs in the cabinet, to accompany the army and play the role of supervising the army, which was unavoidable.

Xiao Shi smiled and was supported by his son, slowly walked across a small bridge, and saw Xu Jiang running in front with a smile from a distance, and there were maids carrying many cricket boxes behind.

On the other side, Xu Cuiliu was walking under the corridor, and Xu Jiang shouted while running: "Fourth sister, it's okay today, Mr. won't come back overnight, where is your crab shell?" Take it and fight with my goldwing! ”

Xiao Shi said speechlessly: "Seeing that you are about to get married, you are still so unprofessional all day long and only know how to play, and you can grow up in a long time." ”

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Let him go, there is Song'er over there." If he can live his little life, it will be done. ”

Xiao said: "Your third uncle is counting on a son to be admitted to the Jinshi, Song'er is a military attaché, Jiang'er is not a weapon, only Hu'er is still like that." ”

Xu Hao asked casually, "How is the eldest brother doing?" ”

Xiao said: "The sister-in-law said that the whole person has changed, and she is silent, and she refuses to tell him a daughter-in-law if she has the heart." By the way, he became the deputy commander of the Northern City of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. ”

Xu Hao was a little surprised, the name of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division is very good, it is actually equivalent to the complex of traffic police, urban management, health, fire protection, and police stations under the Public Security Bureau, and its functions overlap with Shuntianfu. But it is subordinate to the Ministry of War.

Shuntianfu is a three-product yamen, and the Terracotta Division is only a six-product yamen, and it is divided into five regions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, with one commander of each division and six products, and four deputy commanders from the six products.

The Terracotta Division is the dirtiest and most tired of the major yamen in the capital, patrolling the streets day and night every day, and calling for anything such as floods, fires, disasters or thieves, etc., without taking a penny. The police system and police stations in the last years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were established on the basis of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

Probably Xu Wen thinks that there is no way out in the military because he has no way out of the hundred households, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't surpass himself, and being the deputy director of the district police department and the deputy captain of the urban management brigade can be regarded as opening the road to official career. It is not impossible to become a civil servant.

Over there, Xu Cuiliu said with a lack of interest: "It's not good, your mother counted me once the day before yesterday, saying that I shouldn't be messing around with you." ”

Xu Jiang shouted: "I'm not afraid of her, she will scold me again." I'm going to die, is there a lid on the patio? I'm looking for death, what will I do with her? ”

Xu Cuiliu said helplessly: "Don't say stupid things." ”

"It's the puppy who says stupid things." Xu Jiang looked proud. "As long as I do this, I'm not afraid that she won't beg, am I really looking for death?"

Xiao Shi shook his head, he was tired after walking for a long time, and went back after saying a few words. Xu Hao listened to Cuiliu say: "I'm impatient today, you can play with others." ”

Xu Jiang said: "They don't want to play with me, or I'll call the third brother to come, and the three of us will have a good time." ”

Xu Cuiliu said: "Don't make trouble, how can the third brother have the kung fu to play with you?" ”

Xu Jiang said: "The third brother hasn't been with us for a few days, I asked him to designate to come, I don't believe you wait." ”

In this way, Xu Hao was forcibly pulled over, and Xu Jiang was both flattering and flattering to Cuiliu, which made Cuiliu angry and funny, so he had to let the maid fetch the crickets and fight with him.

Xu Hao was not interested in fighting crickets and stood aside to watch the battle. Helplessly, Xu Jiang's crickets were not angry, and he lost more than a dozen times in a row, so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick, Cuiliu simply gave him the crab shell green who was good at fighting, and then went back happily.

Xu Cuiliu took Xu Hao's hand to the second floor, lit the stove with her own hands, waited for the water to boil and make tea, Xu Hao sat on the chaise longue with a leisurely expression, and smiled at Cuiliu seriously washing the tea cup.

Cuiliu suddenly said: "Sister Yuying is here, it's in Yushi's house, don't you go and take a look?" ”

Xu Hao shook his head slightly, and Cuiliu asked curiously, "Why don't you avoid it?" If you hadn't gone to Yangzhou, I heard that she would probably have been unjustly executed. ”

"Two different things." Xu Hao looked at the night outside the window, "My cousin can still marry a good family, why should I pester her?" ”

Cuiliu bit her lip and asked, "What if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life?" ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Then accept it and make an outer room, I owe enough love debts, and I am not worse than her." ”

Cuiliu said happily: "I know that the third brother dares to act, Sister Yuying's current situation is uncomfortable, and she is probably more sad than dead, but if you can take care of her for the rest of her life, my aunt will be grateful." ”

Xu Hao smiled and nodded, since he learned that Xiao Yuying was designed by his sister-in-law and his wife, it was impossible not to apologize, especially to his aunt Mei, so he went to Yangzhou to bring people back, but he didn't expect his cousin to be involved in a life lawsuit.

At this time, hearing someone downstairs chattering, Xu Hao and Cuiliu listened for a while, it turned out to be Cuiyu and Lingzhi beside Xiao Yuying, Lixiang and Yushi's personal maid Luan'er and others beside Cuiliu, and Cuiliu's previous personal maids had already married into wives.

Luan'er made a great contribution to helping find the lost things that time, and Yushi liked her cleverness and stayed.

Cuiyu went out from the Xu family, and the old lady pointed it out to serve Mei, and Mei asked her to serve her daughter temporarily, and she would return home in a few years to wait for marriage.

Lixiang and Cuiyu are generally old, and they have played together since childhood, and they do not shy away from talking. Swallowing melon seeds, he said: "Miss Cousin cried as soon as she came, but even if she cried dry tears?" What profit is it with her? No matter how bad our third master is, he will not marry a concubine from a personal family. ”

Lingzhi snorted and smiled, "Who knows, you haven't heard of it yet?" I got sick when I got home last year, and I got worse this fall. It's strange to say, the third master's letter was light, and then it was fine in a few days, isn't this a miracle? If it is strange to say that the disease is strange, the good is also strange, it is really strange. Strange. ”

Cuiyu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, even if Lingzhi was speaking for the young lady, but is this letter or something good to say to people in public? couldn't help but say, "Lingzhi, what are you talking about?" Our girl is well, what is wrong with you? Otherwise, the girl is not good enough to weigh your heart? ”

To say that Lingzhi is Mei's most trusted girl, she knows the little thing between Mei's and Xu Hao, Xu Hao has rewarded her with some good things in the past, but since Miss came back, Mei's moved to Xiaojia Village. The two broke off contact, how could Lingzhi not have a little resentment?

Therefore, Lingzhi turned his face and said, "Hey! What you girl said is also strange, I said that your girl's illness is cured, can you say that it is bad? Why do you come to invade people for no reason? ”

Jade said, "Who invaded first?" It's strange what you've been saying in a row. What are the words? ”

Lingzhi shouted: "You are less presumptuous, what's wrong with being surprised?" Come and pick me on for surprise, so is the big girl sick for something else? Is it okay for something else? ”

Jade age novels are just Ganoderma lucidum, and some are speechless. Ganoderma lucidum is unforgiving. Pointing at her, he said, "Children, don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to speak, you can talk again." Be careful I don't tear your mouth. ”

Lingyu said: "Why do you say that the girl cried dry tears, what good is it to deal with her? The girl didn't say that she would be a concubine for the third master, why did you scold her? ”

Lingzhi sprinkled the skin of the melon seeds in his arms, stood up and scolded: "Can this little hoof still dare to scream? What's the benefit of having something to do with her, don't you know that the third master never takes a concubine? Let's say that when you girls cry dry their tears, they cry blood, and what do you have to do with the people in this house? ”

These words inadvertently annoyed Luan'er, at first she endured it with everyone's decency, but then when she heard that Lingzhi was becoming more and more coquettish, she couldn't help but be moved, and now she saw that she even had her own girl come in, and she was angry for a while.

stepped forward and slapped Cuiyu's face first, and scolded: "Shameless slut, who are you girls and our girls talking about?" With your bad fox prostitute's stinky mouth, the girls have become side dishes and can't chew them? What are you arguing with a shrew? ”

Lingzhi raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Luan'er, who are you scolding?" ”

Luan'er took a step forward and snorted, spat at Lingzhi's face, raised her finger and pointed at Lingzhi's eyes, and said through gritted teeth: "I just scolded you!" It seems that you bastards dare to chew your tongue on the girls behind your back! Yours, ours, which of your parents gave the share? Clamp your stinky eyes tightly. Look at the good deeds of whom, hang embroidered shoes in the dog's mouth, litter here and there? ”

After a lot of local scolding in Jinling, Lingzhi's face turned pale, but he was afraid of Luan'er's identity, and he didn't know how to fight back.

Looking back at Lixiang, who was watching the show, Lingzhi sneered: "We and Luan'er are both members of the Xiao family, she scolds me the same as scolding herself, but you, Sister Lixiang, have nothing to do with it, why are you tied up here as a prostitute and a cunning woman?" Isn't it wronged to others? ”

Lixiang said with a cold face: "You don't have to put me in it, Luan'er and I have always been friends, you can make trouble yourself, don't come and pull me into the water." ”

Lingzhi became more and more embarrassed, and was about to tear and fight with Luan'er, when Lingyuzi pulled her aside with a blushing face.

Suddenly, upstairs, Xu Cuiliu shouted, "Lixiang." ”

Lixiang hurriedly replied, and went upstairs on her feet, and the bluffing Lingzhi they were all restless, and they were silent for a while.

Xu Hao looked at Cuiliu glaring at Lixiang fiercely, and then smiled: "I remembered the joke my sister-in-law told the old lady, saying that in a temple, the saints of the three religions are enshrined, and the believers originally enshrined the Buddha Buddha in the center. Later, the Taoist priests saw it and moved Taishang Laojun to the center; When the Confucian scholars saw it, they moved Confucius to the center again, and the monks saw it, and they still invited the Buddha to the middle.

The three saints said in private, "We were all right, but because of this incident, we were all moving around and destroying us." ”

This joke seems to be unintentional, but it is actually very heartbreaking, and it faintly shows that Xu Hao is a little angry. Luan Er and the others were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes, Xu Hao said a good word for himself, got up and went to Shi Shiran.

As soon as I came out, I saw Wang's sister-in-law on the other side of the long room leading her daughter to greet her, and did everything she could to say hello to Xu Hao.

Wang's sister-in-law's husband died in battle with Xu Wen during the Jingjing period, and it can be said that his death is not clear, and the purpose of coming here is naturally to send his daughter to be a girl. (To be continued......)
