The eldest grandmother assessed it in her heart, and felt that she was right, so she immediately smiled, and that smile looked in Ruo Mingzhu's eyes, just like a ten-mile spring breeze, which was refreshing.

"Master, there's a letter from home."
On the endless grassland, there is a camp tent. At this time, Jing Zeming was looking at the map in the big tent in the middle.
This piece of land happens to be outside the White City, in previous years, the Huns committed the border, eight out of ten times was from here to attack, the surrounding fertile fields are thousands of miles, almost equal to the lonely Baicheng is always the first to bear the brunt, so this time the preliminary result of the confrontation between the strong dragon of General Wang and Marshal He, the head snake, is to send him here.
Marshal He naturally had the intention of killing people with a knife; General Wang tried all the way, but he knew the abilities of Jing Zeming and A Jia, and thought that it would be easier to seize military merits here and help the prince ascend to the throne.
20,000 elite soldiers, plus the sharp knife team members led on the hunting ground at the beginning, even if the main force of the Huns attacked, they could resist for a while, with Baicheng behind them, they could wait for reinforcements, and there was General Wang Lao sitting in the northern Xinjiang, but he was not afraid that Marshal He could cover the sky with one hand and not save him.
This time the Huns invaded in a big way, but the main battlefield was not here, but because of the special geographical location of Baicheng, no one dared to ignore it, lest the Huns adopt the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, and then Baicheng was broken, and the good situation may be reversed in an instant.
Previously, Jing Zeming had completely annihilated the two Northern Hungarian Tartars who came to explore the way, because he was brave in battle and strategic, and shared weal and woe with the soldiers on weekdays, and carried out devil training together. Therefore, although these two battles were victories with absolute superiority, and the number of enemies who came to attack was only 600, the whole army was still very excited, and in a short period of time, Jing Zeming, the main general, established a high prestige among the soldiers.
It is impossible for the Xiongnu to send only two pathfinder teams to send them to death, Jing Zeming expected that after the Xiongnu suffered a disaster in the country, they urgently needed all kinds of material replenishment, and then it was likely that other tribes would invade Baicheng, so he had been strictly vigilant, and at this time he was carrying out military deduction with the map and Ajia in the account, and before the deduction was halfway, he heard the sound of double happiness outside.
Letter?
Jing Zeming was stunned, and then there was a hint of excitement on his always unwavering face, although it was not a time of fire, but now that he was on the frontier, he really experienced the taste of family letters worth ten thousand dollars.
Immediately stepped out from behind the desk, and when he saw Shuangxi running in, he stretched out his hand to take the family letter, tore open the seal, and saw a thick stack of letterheads inside, so he smiled and said, "Needless to say, this must have been written by your grandmother." ”
"How do you know?"
Shuangxi was really curious, but he heard Jing Zeming smile and said: "After all, the master is a father, no matter how much he cares about me in his heart and knows that I care about my family, he will not write so many words in great detail; Not to mention your second master, who is already clumsy in using a pen and intoxicated with his strange things, even if you write a letter to me, at most two pages, it is a great respect; My wife and sisters usually don't write to me, and even if they do, they don't have much to say. It's only your grandmother, who is a clever talker, and when she has nothing to say at home, she has to find a few words to say, and it is not easy to send a letter at this time, how can she suffer? Naturally, I hate to tell me everything about my family. ”
As he spoke, he unfolded the letter and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's your grandmother's letter, hmm! Let me see, how are the days at home? ”
I can't wait to look at it. Shuangxi Shuangfu looked at it from the side, it was Ah Jia, his eyes were also on the letter and he was stunned, and the green-shirted woman he met that day came to mind.
He did not stay in Jingfuzhong that day, and after bandaging his wounds, he went to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to join Jing Zeming. When he was young, he followed his father to learn art, and then he relied on his mother for his life, and then he joined the army, and then left the barracks to enter the He family, the rules in the house were strict, he only saw a few women in the back house, and a girl had never seen it, especially after hearing that there were two servants who couldn't get out of bed for a month because they said a few words to the girls, and they were afraid of the young girl.
Therefore, after calculating carefully, I have lived half my life until now, and the woman in the green shirt is the first young girl who has spoken to him, she is so beautiful, but she speaks very gently, and her eyes do not show any disdain and contempt when she looks at her. This kind of kindness has not been received from other women except his mother, so why can't he be concerned about it in his heart? Even if he knew that this was wrong, he was blaspheming the girl, but he couldn't control his thoughts.
If Fang Caiwei is here, I'm afraid she will immediately jump up and fight for herself: what do you mean? Only Greenbranches and your mother are kind to you? Grandma, I encountered unevenness on the road, and saved you from the kindness of water and fire, so that you could eat it in your stomach? Don't forget to dig wells, don't you know? It's too much, is it easy for me to save someone? It cost ten taels of silver.
For a while, the needle drop in the big tent could be heard. It took two quarters of an hour before Jing Zeming sighed with a smile: "I didn't expect so many things to happen at home since I left." ”
"Master, what happened?" Double happiness and double blessing asked together, only to listen to Jing Zeming said softly: "The silk and satin made by the weaving factory are selling better and better, and now many silk villages near the capital are willing to buy from our factory, from the start of work after the Chinese New Year, to now there is a surplus of more than 1,000 taels of silver, it is conceivable that the future development can be expected." ”
"Oh my God, is that our weaving factory? Not many people were optimistic about it that day. ”
Double happiness and double blessing were amazed together, and Jing Zeming smiled and said: "But your grandmother said that compared to the Shanhai Pavilion Club, the weaving factory is a small gold and a big gold." Now the Shanhai Pavilion Club has a surplus of six or seven thousand in a month, your grandmother is preparing to expand, the next step is to properly resettle those poor families, the club will be further expanded, and repaired well, so that the natural landscape and artificial carving are integrated, at that time, the Shanhai Pavilion can be regarded as really having the momentum of swallowing the mountains and seas. ”
"Swallowing mountains and seas?" Shuangxi and Shuangfu glanced at each other: "Master, are you sure grandma is talking about Shanhai Pavilion, not Shanhaiguan?" ”
"you." Jing Zeming couldn't help laughing: "You don't know your grandmother, she swallows mountains and seas here, referring to the mountains and silver seas." ”
