Honglouchun

Ningfu West Courtyard.

When Jia Qiang returned to the small courtyard, she saw Ping'er, Xiangling, and Qingwen were all there, talking with Yingchun and Xichun.

It's rare for the two of them to be guests, and it's so late.

Jia Qiang wondered, "Why are Second Aunt and Fourth Aunt here?"

When Yingchun got up, her pretty face turned red before saying a word. On her oval face, there was no aura of Daiyu, no dignity and tranquility of Baochai, no high spirits of Tanchun, only gentleness and amiability.

She smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, are you really going to go to Jiangnan together in the future?"

Jia Qiang took a deep breath and said, "Second Aunt, other people's salutes are almost packed, you..."

"Pooh!"

Yingchun was ashamed and annoyed when she heard the words, knowing that Jia Qiang was making fun of her, after spitting, her pretty face blushed even more, and said hesitantly, "Brother Qiang, I...I don't really want to go, if not, is it okay?"

Jia Qiang asked inexplicably, "Why don't you want to go?"

Yingchun smiled wryly and said: "I didn't like to go out for a walk... Going to Taoyuan is okay, it's closer to home, but going to Jiangnan, I'm very panic, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back home... Besides, the sisters are so talented. , to go to the ancient and romantic place in the south of the Yangtze River must recite poems and make right, I am not good at those, and I prefer to stay at home and read chess records..."

Jia Qiang laughed when she heard the words, it turned out to be a house girl.

He thought for a while, and said: "That's fine. How about living this way? Naturally, you can come here as you are comfortable, and come here as you are comfortable. If you don't like to go out, you will not only feel useless when you go out, but you will suffer instead. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Coincidentally, Sister Bao is also at home, so you can also be company, so you are not lonely."

Seeing that he didn't blame him or persuade him, Yingchun was very happy and said: "I didn't let you down, I thought you would be unhappy."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "My intentions are to make you live a happier life, not to cause trouble for you. In short, you can be as happy as you want."

Seeing Yingchun's brows and eyes full of smiles, gentle and amiable, he nodded with a smile, then looked at Xichun and said, "Fourth aunt doesn't want to go either? Then just stay at home."

Xichun almost didn't jump up, said: "Why don't I want to go? I am going! I also want to paint the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River!"

Ping'er, Xiangling, and Qingwen all laughed.

Jia Qiang joked, "Then why are you here?"

Xichun gave a "mighty" "um" and asked back, "Auntie, can't I go home?"

Having said that, the little hand still held it nervously...

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "Yes, I asked the wrong question. What I mean is, after Fourth Aunt returned home, she should have gone to your own yard in the East Road Courtyard."

Xichun couldn't hold back when she heard the words, she laughed and said, "Second sister is embarrassed to come alone! I'll bring her here!"

Jia Qiang laughed and chatted a few more gossips, and the two went back to live in Xichun Courtyard.

It's just that they had just left for a while, but they saw Sister Feng coming here again, saying that Xun Ping'er was talking about something.

Although she took Ping'er and walked towards Ping'er's courtyard, Qingwen still gritted her teeth angrily behind her back and spat quietly!

Seeing it, Jia Qiang looked up at the moon, and sighed softly: "This is such a moonlit night, such a hard-working life! When will it be the end..."

"Pooh!"

Chapter 673 Pick more cucumbers and give them to the princess at night

The next morning.

Stone Stele Alley, Zhao Guogong Mansion.

In the hall of respect and righteousness.

Old Duke Jiang Duo was wrapped up in a big bearskin mattress, revealing a small head outside, at first glance, it looked like a potato.

But in the whole country, no one dared to underestimate this old man...

Jiang Duo raised his hairless brows, pouted his shriveled mouth, looked at his eldest grandson Jiang Tai and said, "The emperor said that the three camps of Shenji should be handed over to those who are absolutely loyal and reliable. Blowing the firearms into the sky... That bastard, he knows the military affairs of a ball, and he knows how to buzz in front of the emperor. However, the firearms battalion is indeed an important place. The emperor said that he can trust people Not many, the Jiang family ranks first. Therefore, I want to hand over Zhulongying to the Jiang family’s children, and I have called your name. What do you say? Hey, just listen and speak carefully, don’t raise your face, one by one Qiu Yan's face is so long, I'm dizzy looking at it!"

Jiang Tai: "..."

He pondered for a while, and said: "Old ancestor, I don't understand the firearms camp very well, but my grandson still wants to return to the navy..."

Before he could finish speaking, his father, Jiang Bao, yelled at his face: "Damn you bastard! You are being flattered? Don't take a piss to see if you are worthy of talking back here! Dog fuck..."

I didn't finish cursing here, but I saw Jiang Duo's small head sticking out suddenly, spat hard in Jiang Bao's direction, and cursed: "Fucking dirty seed! I didn't finish talking, you inserted your mother's mouth? I Seeing that Brother Tai is ten times stronger than you, everyone in the Jiang family thinks that he is the king of heaven, and there is nothing he can't do. Those stubborn bastards who still have the face to scold others? Why don't you make trouble? Take a look at your virtue!"

Seeing Jiang Duo's shortness of breath suddenly, Jiang Bao knelt down and said, "Father is easy to beat and scold, but can someone be beaten and scolded? You are so old and angry that your bones are broken. Wouldn't your son become a very unfilial person?"

Although he had prayed countless times in his heart for this old man to die quickly, he was not so stupid after all. He knew that the reason why Emperor Long'an was so courteous to the Jiang family at the moment was all because of Jiang Duo's supreme prestige in the army, and the Tian family needed this prestige ?Adjust the structure of the army and gather military power.

The Jiang family wants to take advantage of this opportunity and ask for more benefits?After the benefits are in hand, it is not too late to die.

Going wrong now?Then the Jiang family is going to have a big problem...

Maybe Jiang Duo understood this thought, maybe he didn't care, he snorted?Said: "Brother Tai has really grown up? You know your status, what you can do and what you can't do. However, the more this is the case? I feel more at ease to let you go. Go to be a battalion general and find out the firearms The battalion’s tactics. I vaguely heard that Western firearms are different from before. Now the firearms of the firearms battalion, how long does it take to fire one shot? Can archery shoot five or six rounds? Scrap iron? Not as good as a fire stick. But now there is a new kind of firearm? Not afraid of rain, snow and wind..."

Jiang Bao couldn't help but said: "Master? My son has also heard of self-propelled firearms, but the cost is extremely high. A firearm is almost worth hundreds of taels of silver. It takes a lot of work. With sub-medicine, how can it be assembled in large quantities?"

Jiang Duo wanted to scold, but after all he was old, so he just said "heh... bah", and continued to say to Jiang Tai: "After you go, take charge of the army and learn from it. If the firearms camp is really That Wang Baduzi of the Jia family said so wonderfully, your position will be very important in the future, remember it?"

Jiang Tai nodded, and suddenly saw Jiang Lin standing beside him, with a gloomy expression on his face, hesitated for a while, and said, "Old Ancestor, why don't you let Brother Lin go?"

Jiang Duo scolded: "Just after praising you, you are so confused! This is the emperor's golden words to appoint you as a general, and you are also used to be courteous? Xiao Linzi, your elder brother is afraid that you will be jealous and hate, and you will bring trouble to Xiao Qiang, you What about this dirty seed?"

Jiang Lin smiled wryly and knelt down: "Old ancestor, I feel a little bit uncomfortable, but that's my elder brother, how did it get to this point?"

Hearing this, Jiang Duo had a rare smile on his face, and said, "I know that I'm not that stupid! That's enough, let's all get up. By the way, I heard from Brother Lin and his daughter-in-law that the Lin family has a thing called heating. Wow, it's very warm. It seems that it's not using a brazier to burn it, but using hot water and steam or something... Gods and gods are talking about it, the little ball in Jia's house, not doing serious things, just messing around all day long. But it’s also a species that can do something, and can make gold mountains. Tsk, it would be great if I planted it. You can ask if you can also install a set for Lao Tzu. Although the red bamboo charcoal given by the palace is good, I still think it’s a little Dry."

Jiang Lin's face became tangled when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say no...

……

Ningguo Mansion, in the five row houses on the west side of the stable.

Li Xuan looked at the warm room and the rows of green vegetables, his eyes were straight...

He even ignored the stench of livestock manure that almost made him sick when he first came in...

"It's a good shot! How much money was spent in the Taiguan Garden of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the vegetables they made were just slumped. A bunch of bastards used silver frost charcoal to cook the kang, but they couldn't cook good food. All day long Either chives or soybean sprouts, eating a cucumber is like sleeping with his daughter!"
