Chang Sihao changed into new clothes, led the second maid out of Yunchun Pavilion, and turned to the front yard, the craftsmen who repaired the house had stopped working, and they were waiting next to him, Chang Sihao met the team, and stood side by side with Qin Ziyin in the order of standing behind Qin Menghuan, Qin Yi was injured with his armband, and Gu Weixin and Mo Ruzhi were there. Looking back, I can't see Qin Juexiang and Qi Beishan.

As soon as Chen Sheng arrived at Qin Langchuan's side, he whispered: "The young master refuses to come out, and Beishan doesn't know where to go." ”

Qin Langchuan waved his hand to say that it didn't matter, and Chen Sheng retreated and stood behind Chang Sihao. The servants and maidservants stood in four columns, and Qin Langchuan led his family out of the sedan hall.

One by eight green sedan chair parked in the courtyard of the courtyard, the sedan chair is not dusty, and the jujube wood sedan pole is still on the shoulder. The eight palanquin bearers are burly, with their chests and backs, and they are extremely strong, and their eyes only look ahead, never squinting. In addition, there are more than 40 poor people who carry scimitars at their waists, standing on the side, and their clothes are bright.

Qin Langchuan came to the side of the sedan chair and knelt down to salute: "Qin Langchuan, the grass people, lead the Qin family to wait for the people to greet Lord Futai." After finishing speaking, the Qin family and others also knelt down together.

I only heard the sedan chair rod knock gently, the sedan chair man slowly put down the sedan chair, the messenger lifted the sedan curtain, an official boot stretched out, firmly on the ground, followed by the gold-edged black gauze crown above slowly revealed a corner, a hand wearing a green jade ring, white complexion stretched out to support the poor man's arm, and the other official boots followed up and stepped out of the dust.

When everyone in the Qin Mansion saw that the governor Yu had come out of the sedan chair, they each lowered their heads again.

Yu Yaoting straightened his body and swept slightly to both sides. Shaking the folding fan in his hand lightly, he said with a smile: "Xiaguan is a simple walk this time, Brother Qin doesn't need to be polite, just get up quickly." ”

Chang Sihao looked sideways and saw that he was not wearing an official uniform, he was wearing a purple satin peony robe, a green jade belt across his waist, two small white jade fish hanging from his silver waist and falling on his crotch, and a folding fan was pinched in front of his abdomen, which was painted with beautiful mountains and rivers and rivers flowing. Looking at the face, the silkworm eyebrows are fine, the nose is straight as a cut, the five locks of ink hair are about one foot four inches long, draped to the chest, the temples are like knife cuts, the silk is straight, and none of them are messy. There is a soft taste of sunshine in his eyes, and there are slight crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, but he does not look old, and his charm increases.

Listening to his appropriate voice, it should be the person who overheard the speaker last night, and I want to listen to the tone of his speech at that time, the indescribable disgusting and annoying, but when I see him now, I feel a little cordial.

The sedan pole was lifted at the back, Yu Yaoting stepped out of the robe, Qin Langchuan got up and led the guests into the house, eight people assisted in the protection, and the relatives of the Qin family followed on both sides.

Yu Yaoting took square steps, walked steadily, entered the second gate, swept his eyes to the main hall that had been repaired halfway, and said with a smile: "Duke Qin is worthy of being the richest man in Jinzhong, the courtyard of the mansion is more magnificent than the governor's yamen of the lower officials, Brother Qin is building a lot of construction, is he going to build a palace?"

The faces of everyone in the Qin family changed color together, thinking that no matter how rich the people were, how could they have the reason to build a palace, it was a sin to rebel.

Qin Langchuan hurriedly smiled and said: "My lord doesn't know, there was a gang attacking the night before, trying to rob the property, but fortunately, the prefect sent a public servant to rescue and fight back. The thieves not only robbed the goods, but also destroyed the main hall of our house, and the southern wall was also collapsed, and the grass people rebuilt it. ”

Chang Sihao smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that your staring and talking nonsense is actually the same as the truth, if you don't know the roots, I really want to believe it.

Yu Yaoting put away the fan, slapped it in the palm of his hand, and suddenly said: "Oh! That's right, yesterday Governor Sun asked to see him, saying that there was a report of banditry, but there were too many official duties, and he was too busy for a while, so he didn't receive it, and he thought that this was what he wanted to talk about." ”

Qin Langchuan said: "Yes, these little things are nothing, Lord Futai works hard for the country, he is exhausted, every day is full of opportunities, all the people in Jinzhong rely on the blessing of adults, such as babies looking at their parents, adults should rest in time, not overworked." ”

Yu Yaoting shook his head and sighed: "Mencius said: The people are precious, the society is secondary, the monarch is light, the people's affairs are the biggest thing, the public security is not good, how can the people live in peace? Bandits are so rampant in Taiyuan City, this is the dereliction of duty of the official and all his subordinates!" Chang Sihao remembered the **** in his mansion last night, and his anger drummed up a few times, and finally suppressed it, and secretly scolded his grandmother several times in his heart.

Qin Langchuan said: "My lord's words are serious, my words are serious. ”

The group came to Zhiyu Xuan, Qin Langchuan gave way to the main seat in Yaoting, the two sat down, and Qin Yi served behind his father. The servants offered tea, sent people to guard outside the pavilion, and the rest of the Qin family were also blocked under the corridor.

After a polite gesture, Yu Yaoting asked Qin Yidao: "Why is the eldest prince hanging his arm? Could it be that he was injured by a bandit?" Qin Yi frowned slightly, and said with a bow: "Exactly." Yu Yaoting sat up straight, and sighed: "Alas, there is chaos in the family, and the country is in turmoil, and the country is in turmoil, what an eventful time!"

Qin Yi glanced at his father, thinking that he was about to get to the point.

Qin Langchuan said in a low voice: "My lord came just in time, the grass people recently learned of a confidential matter and were about to report it. ”

Yu Yaoting was stunned: "What's the matter?"

Qin Langchuan leaned out and leaned closer and said, "The Tatar Great Khan has led his army to invade the territory, and he will arrive in Datong in a few days. As soon as these words came out, even Qin Yi was taken aback, thinking to himself that it was too late for us to think about how to avoid this matter, why did Daddy poke it out first?

Yu Yaoting's face changed slightly: "Where did you find out?"

Qin Langchuan leaned back, rested his hands lightly on the armrests of the chair, and said calmly: "The Qin family also has a few small businesses on the Tatar border, and the local shopkeeper has reported it. Yu Yaoting pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "Is the news true?" Qin Langchuan nodded and said in a low voice: "This matter is not trivial, after the grass people learned about it, they wanted to report it to the adults immediately, but unexpectedly, the bandits were killed at home, so that it was delayed for a day." ”

Yu Yaoting stared intently, waited for a while, and said: "Yu was favored by the emperor to assist in the trilateral military affairs, but he always felt powerless and constrained everywhere. The strategic location of Datong is extremely important, and at present, there is a shortage of troops and money and food, and if I really attack, it will be worrying......"

Qin Langchuan stood up and said with an awe-inspiring face: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, Qin Mou, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, how can he stand by and do his best? Qin has sent a message, summoned people, and it will be sent to Taiyuan in a few days, and it will be driven by adults. He bowed his hand.

Yu Yaoting was overjoyed: "This is very good! At that time, I should order General Ma to set up points in the city and countryside to recruit volunteers, and the Qin family can go to report elsewhere to listen to the order, and then form a team to go to the national disaster together, and make a big answer, so that he will no longer dare to underestimate my Daming!"

Everyone under the corridor is a person with deep internal strength, deaf ears and clear eyes, and they can hear the words in the hall clearly. Chen Shengyi's spirit was quite excited, rubbing his hands and saying in a low voice: "Wherever the Tartars go, the slaughter is like dogs, looting, and the means are very cruel, this time we can go out with the army and kill the Tartars' spirit, that is the best!" Chang Sihao thought thoughtfully, nodded blankly, and thought: "Qin Langchuan actually said this, could it be that I misjudged him?" Sending Governor Yu away, the Qin Mansion was relieved, and the craftsmen jingled to work again, Qin Juexiang heard about his grandfather's decision, and he was angry and did not leave the house.

After two days, the main hall and the wall of the Qin Mansion have been repaired, everything is as usual, and it is said that the nearby Qin family should also come to Taiyuan one after another when they hear the news, but there is no movement. Chen Sheng sent people to inquire on the streets, and there was no sergeant to recruit volunteers, he was very strange, thinking that the military situation was urgent, why was the governor and Ma Zongbing so inefficient, and they were not even as good as plasterers?

When the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, the Qin Mansion was busy, putting up lanterns, customizing moon cakes, beaming, and Chen Shengyi was asked to handle all the big and small things, so he put this matter aside for the time being. Chang Sihao stayed in the house and was bored, went out to buy goods with him, walked to the commercial street, saw an artist juggling, looking at the east and west, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting, there were soldiers in the distance to drive away, pedestrians scattered, and then a tall horse, a tweed sedan chair, the person on the horse was wearing a military general's uniform, and carried a long knife at his waist. Chen Sheng was stunned when he saw it: "Isn't this General Ma?"
