Chapter Seventy-Eight: Appointment (I)

General's Palace

A volume of documents came over and presented it to Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi sat upright, looked at the battle report carefully, and asked Xu Ling to report.

"My lord, I have twenty-nine first ranks, thirty horses, all of them are one of a thousand good horses, six of them are dead, and the rest are alive. ”

"Have you been castrated?" Wang Hongyi asked.

"No, none of them have been castrated. Xu Ling said.

When Wang Hongyi heard this, he ordered: "You transfer these good horses, along with the injured horses, to the Shaofu Stable Law Division." ”

The stable law division is to introduce excellent horse breeds, in order to cultivate tall, powerful, durable horses, at this time began to start, these horses are not only a rare good horse in the Hu people, even if the injured horse also has the value of a stallion.

Xu Ling was a little reluctant, but he had to respond: "Yes"

"What else?"

"In addition to this weapon, a good bow, and some goods. ”

After listening to this, Wang Hongyi got up and paced, and said: "The twenty-ninth level is the twenty-nine merits, how to distribute it, you take a charter yourself, report it to me, I will divide the field, as for the property, you will divide it."

Xu Ling said happily: "Yes"

At this time, there was another thunderstorm, the rain was very heavy, in the room, the rustle of the rain on the window could be heard, and the wind blew the glass slightly, Wang Hongyi muttered for a long time before saying: "You step down, summon Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi." ”

The second half of the sentence is said to the attendant.

Xu Ling promised to retreat, and after a while, Yu Liangbo and Zhang Yuzhi rushed over.

"I called you here this time, how is the situation of Meng Zhu and Lu Pei whom you recommended last time?"

"Both of them are excited. ”

"Well, this matter will be handed over to you, no matter what the result is, it must be fast, and the governance arrangements in the government cannot be absent for a long time. ”

"Please rest assured, the minister will take care of this. Yu Liangbo said with a smile.

"Please wait for the good news. Zhang Youzhi also took on this task.

In Shachuan County, on the bank of a small river, a man is leisurely fishing, and in the wooden barrel next to him, several carp are already struggling and jumping inside.

"It's time to go back. Looking up at the sky, the man suddenly muttered to himself.

At this time, a child's voice sounded not far away: "Sir, there is a visitor to Mr.'s house, go back and have a look."

"Hey, it's rare to have a guest here. The man looked back in surprise, decided to put away the pole and go home, stood up, put away the bamboo pole, the man's next action was to lift the wooden bucket, and pour the water and fish into the river.

"Fish, fish, swim as far as you can, if you catch it next time, I will really take it and eat it." Muttering to himself at the river, the man bent down, lifted some objects on the ground, and turned to walk towards the mountain village not far away.

With a shallow and almost invisible meaningless look on his face, this person is actually not very old. A pair of long, narrow eyes, as if they are forever closed, half-asleep and half-awake.

is an ordinary half-worn robe, worn on the body, but it is not obscene, but a little more chic and vulgar. In terms of appearance, this person can only be regarded as a medium, thin figure, and narrow eyes, but it adds a lot of color to him.

"Ah, I didn't bring back the fish today, presumably, it's fasting again, right?" said regretful words in his mouth, but only a faint smile on his face.

Until a little childlike puff appeared in front of him, he put away his playful appearance and showed a bit seriousness. "Liu Saburo, did your housewife send you to urge people again?"

"Who made Mr. come back empty-handed every time, and this time he didn't catch a single fish, right?" he asked, but his tone was very affirmative.

"Haha, you guy, but my bosom friend, your husband and I are indeed empty-handed," the young man walked over to him, and at the same time, said happily.

"Really, I've never seen anyone who has been fishing for a day and has not caught anything, and who can still laugh so happily. Liu Saburo muttered quietly.

"I heard what you said, my husband, and I will punish you for copying 3,000 words when I go back. The young man glanced at him and said casually.

"Ah, sir, Liu Saburo knows ...... mistake" Suddenly, they left the road, and several wails rang out.

Walking less than half a mile along the path, and walking by a mountain village, a large mansion appeared in front of the two.

The young man motioned for the boy to step forward, and Liu Saburo had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and walked over and knocked on the door: "Uncle Wei, my husband and I are back." ”

After a while, the door was opened from the inside, and an old man in his early fifties walked out and looked at Liu Saburo with a smile: "Liu Saburo, the ** people are coming back faster than in the past." ”

"Because there are guests. The boy scratched his head and said.

The old man saluted the young man behind him again, and his eyes fell directly on the wooden barrel in the man's hand: "Sir, you are going home empty-handed again today, are you? Madame is afraid that she will have to cook vegetarian dishes to entertain guests again." ”

"Even if I catch the fish, or buy the fish, she will do the same, and she will be happy. "The quirk of this hostess is that she doesn't like meat, and she wants to vomit when she smells it, and over time, the servants in the family are used to eating vegetarian dishes, and the servants on the stove are all good at vegetarian food.

"Mr. and Mrs. are really affectionate. Seeing the gentleman enter the main house, the little boy who had come to the courtyard said with emotion.

"Smack" The old man before tapped his finger on his forehead: "You know a lot." ”

"I saw it in the book. The boy stuck out his tongue and ran away.

However, Liu Saburo is right, Mr. and Mrs. are indeed a good couple, but they have a temper...... No, no, as a servant of the Meng family, how can you criticize the master's family behind your back? Don't look at it, don't listen to it, don't think ......about it," he shook his head, and the old man walked away with a tangled face.

In the main room, a servant woman served tea, and then retreated, and in the room, only a husband and wife remained, silent.

"Madame......"

"Husband, this is the letterhead sent to you by the General Mansion of Wenyang Mansion, and before you returned, the concubine accepted it for you. This is the letter, for you. ”

The young woman sitting across from the young man was of medium complexion, with only a bookish aura on her body, which made her look particularly graceful, with slightly thick eyebrows, but she locked a faint heroic look in her eyes.

These two people are Meng Zhu and his wife Han.

Meng Zhu's father once served as the Lingtai Commander and was famous, Meng Zhu was his only son and a famous person.

Most people don't know that Meng Zhu, who became famous a few people ago, will come to Shachuan County with his family to settle down and live an idyllic life after the death of his parents.

This person does not have many families, and his words and deeds are casual on weekdays, but he really feels a bit of a rural hermit.

Han knew him and knew that his husband had just not encountered the right time to become a leader, and he was unwilling to hand himself over to the vulgar and powerful people easily.

"Hehe, Wenyang Mansion, should it be a letter from him, right?" muttering to himself, Meng Zhu took the letter.

During this time, Han was just silent.

"It's Brother Yu's letter to me...... He wanted me to be a leader. After opening the letter and reading it, Meng Zhu's casual expression was still the same, only a pair of half-squinted eyes, but they opened a little.

He looked at the Han family: "My father, as well as my mentor and father-in-law, have all explained that if it is not a good master, I would rather live in seclusion here for a lifetime than help and abuse." Madame, what do you think of the Maharaja?"

"The concubine is a woman, and she only talks about herself shallowly, this person is not mediocre. With just one sentence, Han Shi stopped.

"I have heard a lot about this person, and I have intended to defect to him, but I have never been able to find a chance......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Meng Zhuchong smiled apologetically: "Madam, I planned to live a peaceful life with you here for a few years, but I just ......"

"Husband, you just make a decision about such things, no matter where you go or what you do, the concubine is by your side and will never abandon each other. Han said gently.

She is not only Mrs. Meng Zhu, but also her younger sister before, and she is the beloved daughter of Master Meng Zhu, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary. After the death of both parents, the two made an appointment to live in seclusion in this countryside, ignoring the world, but now it seems that they can't.

But the husband is already talented, how can he be buried here?

Thinking of this, Han's determination has been made, no matter what her husband does or who she goes to, as long as her husband makes up his mind, she will not stop her.

Seeing that Madame did not stop him, Meng Zhu's eyes were astringent, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Madame for your understanding." ”

But when he saw his wife get up, he was stunned and said, "Madam, ...... you are?"

"I'll go to the stove and ask them to stir up a few more dishes and warm up some wine. Han said.

"It's not that my wife doesn't allow me to drink alcohol on weekdays......"

A smile flashed in Han's eyes: "This is because of your body, but once in a while, it is fine." ”

As he spoke, he stepped out of the room.

Seeing this, Meng Zhu shook his head and smiled.

At the same time, another place, another person, also received a letter from Wenyang Prefecture.

"Zhang Youzhi?" The sturdy young man named Lu Pei opened the letter and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed for a while, and furrowed for a while.

After a long time, Fang Jiangxin looked at it carefully, and there was a little disbelief on his still handsome face.

"Brother Zhang actually wants to recommend me to be a teacher? Such an opportunity is actually in front of him?" The good news that suddenly came made him a little indigestible for a while.

Reading the letter again, Lu Pei's face gradually faded with doubt, and was replaced by excitement. The handwriting on the letter is correct, and the person who wrote the letter must be Zhang Yuzhi, presumably there will be no falsehood in the letter.

After reading it again, his breathing even became a little heavy, and he could see that this news made him very happy.

"The prince and his own people have heard of it, and I heard that it is a master, and this person is indeed worth running to. It's just that I only go alone, I am afraid that it will make him look down on him, this kind of opportunity is really rare and must not be wasted. ”

Thinking of this, Lu Pei walked out of the courtyard where he was, climbed high and looked into the distance, not far from this house, it was a big river.

There were many large and small boats moored on the river, and looking at these boats, a smile appeared on Lu Pei's face.

"If you take a few ships as gifts, presumably, the prince will definitely pay attention to a certain family, right?"

The more he thought about it, the more he made such a truth, Lu Pei immediately made a decision, called a servant, and whispered a few words in his ear.
