poor family prodigal

"Sister-in-law, I am already a married man, how can I see other men casually!"

Li Shihan said displeased: "In the future, you don't need to ask me about this kind of thing again, just refuse!"

When I came to Zhoucheng, I couldn't see my husband, so I felt a little depressed!

The eldest sister-in-law organized a tea party for girls. She was supposed to be a lady from an official family, but unexpectedly some of the girls were there.

Since then, people have continued to invite her to the temple to burn incense, hold women's poetry gatherings, recite poems and enjoy the snow.

She was well aware of those men's thoughts, so naturally she would not give them a good look.

"Shihan, it's not like my sister-in-law said that you are a child. Why do you think so much about you?"

The sister-in-law, who is about thirty years old, has a gorgeous appearance and a look of arrogance in her eyebrows: "Do you really think he will come to Zhoucheng to find you? It is four hundred miles from Fu County to Zhoucheng. There are countless bandits and thieves along the way. He might be halfway there." In the event of an accident, even if he can come, our family will still not recognize him."

Li Shihan's pretty face said with a stern look on her face: "My husband is talented and has written so many famous biographies that will last forever. Why don't my eldest brother and father recognize him?"

Her husband asked her second brother to bring back three thousand taels of gold notes. She gave one thousand taels to her father, five hundred taels to each of her eldest and second brothers, three hundred taels to her third brother, and one hundred taels to her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. She also explained that it was given by her husband. !

Unexpectedly, except for the second brother and second sister-in-law, who had some changes, the eldest brother and sister-in-law still had the same attitude. Even though their father from out of town wrote, they still refused to recognize her husband, which really broke her heart.

"His literary talent is really great. The poems he wrote are spread all over the world. Even my father may not be able to write them!"

The sister-in-law smiled coldly: "But our family comes from a scholarly family. My father is a Jinshi. Your eldest brother and second brother are civil servants. Even my brother-in-law is fifteen years old and is now a scholar. He was a child and now he is engaged in a lowly job." Business, let alone the qualifications to join the Li family."

"My husband is not just doing business!"

Li Shihan frowned and said, "Second brother said when he came back from Zhoucheng that he stayed there to help the young marshal fight. Now that the young marshal has won a great victory, he must have a share of his contribution."

The elder sister-in-law sneered and said: "The War of the Wildermen has ended a long time ago, and the imperial edict of rewarding merits has been issued long ago. I heard from your eldest brother that there is no one named Wang Yuan at all. He played no role in that war. He, that is, A little literary talent will make a little money, so you'd better find another one."

"I do not!"

Li Shihan frowned and shook his head!

Even if her husband is an ordinary person, she is still willing to stay with him for the rest of her life, and she will never change things around!

"Many young talents are asked to tell their sisters-in-law that they are willing to let the matchmaker marry you in a big sedan chair. They all come from official families."

The sister-in-law had a narrow look on her face. Seeing that Li Shihan was silent, she lowered her voice and said: "There is also a young master from the governor's family who asks someone to come here every three days to inquire about you. The governor, from the second-rank officials to the border officials! If you By marrying his son, your father will have another helping hand in the court, and your eldest brother's career will also flourish!"

Li Shihan said coldly: "Sister-in-law, don't tell me that the governor's son will marry a remarried woman."

"Ha ha!"

The sister-in-law smiled awkwardly: "The governor's son already has a wife, but he wants to marry you, Shihan, as his wife, who is not inferior to his wife in name!"

"My wife sounds nice, but she's actually still a concubine!"

Li Shihan said sadly: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't expect that you would ask me to be a concubine for the sake of my eldest brother's future."

My sister-in-law's face was serious: "Shihan, my sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. If you marry the governor's son, you will live a life of fine clothing and fine food!"

Li Shihan frowned and turned around: "Sister-in-law, I am already my husband's wife and will not remarry anyone. If you keep saying that, I will pack my bags tomorrow and go back to Fu County alone."

The sister-in-law's face changed and she smiled apologetically: "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, I won't say anything anymore. You must not lose your temper. You are a weak woman and you are so beautiful. If you can't go more than a hundred miles, you will be kidnapped. You never know what will happen!"

Li Shihan frowned and said nothing.

If she hadn't been worried about this, she would have gone back to Fu County alone to meet her husband.

I don’t know how my husband is doing now.

"You stinky girl, you really don't know what is good and what is good. How many people want to be the concubine of the governor's son, and you are still here to pick and choose. Seeing that you are also a broken melon, without those muddy legs by your side, let's see how long you can endure it. "

Muttering all the way, the sister-in-law walked out of the mansion and said a few words to the waiting servants.

The servant rode to a mansion and whispered to a young man in rich clothes.

The young man frowned: "If you don't agree as a common wife, why do you still want to be a real wife? You really don't know how to flatter me."

……

In the Bai family manor, the winter plum blossoms are in full bloom!

A circle of maids surrounded the pavilion to protect it from the wind and snow. In the pavilion, two beautiful figures, one white and one purple, surrounded a small red clay stove, in which rice wine was being heated.

"Snow without plum blossoms is not spiritual, and snow without poetry is vulgar. Poems at dusk and snow all day long, combined with plum blossoms, is very spring."

Bai Feifei, who still looks more like a young master, twirled his jade cup, looked at the wind, snow and cold plum blossoms and softly chanted: "Little beauty, how do you like this poem?"

"it is good!"

The woman in purple smiled slightly: "But not as good as those songs made by Mr. Mingtan!"

"Who can compare to that monster!"

Bai Feifei raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp, his eyes flashing like stars: "Isn't his wife in Zhoucheng? Have you heard any news?"

"The governor's son is thinking about his wife and is preparing to hire her!"

The woman in purple raised her eyebrows: "Should we remind you?"

"Need not!"

Bai Feifei smiled slightly: "If the Li family is so short-sighted, they are not worthy of having such a quick son-in-law! By the way, how about the beauty prepared for him?"

The woman in purple frowned and said: "Huang Jiaojiao, the number one famous flower in the city's Goulan, has already agreed to accompany him on the first night!"

"Huang Jiaojiao!"

Thinking of that woman, Bai Feifei snorted coldly: "That coquettish hooves is an advantage!"

The woman in purple pursed her lips and smiled softly: "If you can't bear it, go up yourself!"

"You little coward, you dare to tease me, you deserve a beating!"

Bai Feifei raised her eyebrows, slapped the woman in purple on the chest, turned around and jumped out of the pavilion.

"Bai Feifei, you ask for a beating!"

The woman in purple ducked and jumped into the garden, grabbed a snowball and threw it.

The maids around looked at her with envy. The eldest lady, who usually spoke and smiled casually, somehow managed to be so close to this foreign maid in purple!

……

In ancient times when productivity was underdeveloped, the poor were both afraid of snow and looking forward to it.

If it snows more, the harvest will be better next year, but those who lack clothing and clothing will freeze to death and starve to death.

The two of them, who had been covered in snow most of the night, slept together last night, but they didn't do anything!

Early in the morning, Wang Yuan got up and stood at the gun post, while Hu Mengying went back to Hu's house to arrange porridge.

Every winter when it snows, the Hu family, as grain merchants, would give out porridge to outsiders.

Let the poor people who have no food to eat have more strength to survive the winter, and also accumulate virtue for the family.

Wang Yuan stood in the courtyard, holding a gun position, as if he was fast asleep.

Since he obtained the secret method of gun pile, he has been standing every day, and his body is getting better and better. Not only is his strength stronger, but his reactions have become faster, and his mind has become clearer and clearer.

Realizing the benefits, Wang Yuan insisted on standing still as soon as he had some free time.

The standing time is getting longer and longer, and now I can stand for an hour with enough energy.

After standing at the post, having breakfast and doing some chores.

Suddenly Erhu ran over happily: "Brother Yuan, the young commander has entered the city. I will come to see you after setting up the team!"

"Have someone arrange lunch!"

Wang Yuan quickly ordered: "Let me buy all the pigs and sheep in the city and send them to the troops to give the soldiers extra meals!"

Erhu went down to make arrangements, and not long after, the young marshal arrived with a group of people, accompanied by Sun County Lieutenant and Xu Captou who were leading the way!

Before Wang Yuan could speak, the young marshal took the lead in saluting, and a group of people shouted in unison: "See the military advisor!"

"All right!"

Wang Yuan lifted Wu Ling up and said, "You are also a Marquis of Wu, how could you salute me like this?"

Wu Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This position of marquis should belong to your husband, but I took advantage of you!"

"Don't mention those things again!"

Wang Yuan waved his hand and looked at the two people leading the way: "Do you have anything else?"

"No, no more!"

Xu Baotou and Sun County Lieutenant were stunned, shaking their heads repeatedly, clasping their fists and retreating out of the yard.

"He, he turned out to be a military advisor. Marquis Wu all saluted him and said that the position of Marquis should have been his!"

With a cold sweat on his forehead, the hairs all over Sun County Lieutenant's body stood up. He looked at Xu Captou and said, "You fucking tell me what's going on, and stop hiding it."

"Actually..."

Xu Captou, who was also shocked, began to tell the secrets he had heard.

"what!"

After a rough understanding, Sun Xianwei was covered in cold sweat and his legs were feeling weak.

It turns out that the man who really defeated the Huangren was Mr. Mingtan.

No wonder the county magistrate and the censor treated him like this. The horse owner Bo committed suicide overnight.

Thinking of his previous disrespect to Wang Yuan, he now wanted to crawl back on his knees and apologize.

……

yard.

Wang Yuan was a little surprised: "Why did you bring them with you when you went to the capital to report on your work?"

Among the group, except for a few black-armored veterans, they were all craftsmen from the Ordnance Supervision and military doctors who treated injuries.

"The three-bow bed crossbow killed King Tu Nan. Shi Yaoqian, the Minister of Industry, ordered me to bring the craftsmen back to the capital and pass down the craftsmanship of making the bed crossbow!"

Wu Ling looked at the craftsmen and military doctors and said: "They are now able to repair tendons, hamstrings, and suture wounds, which can greatly reduce casualties on the battlefield. The imperial court also asked them to go to the Imperial Hospital to pass on these skills!"

Wang Yuan smiled: "Are there still capable people in the court?"

Advanced manufacturing technology and medical technology can enhance national strength as long as they are promoted.

"The imperial court selects talents from tens of millions of people. It can be said that there are countless talented people, but most of them are useless!"

Wu Ling sighed and changed the topic: "Sir, I brought them here just to ask you which one you want. I can leave it for you."

"It's hard for you to have a bad intention!"

Patting Wu Ling on the shoulder, Wang Yuan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Which of you is willing to stay and work with me?"

Many craftsmen and military doctors were moved, but quickly lowered their heads!

The military advisor is a generous man and loves his soldiers as much as his own son. They all know this and want to follow the military advisor!

But now that I am going to the capital, I may get an official status due to the skills passed down by the military advisor, and get rid of the lowly status of a craftsman or a military doctor.

Wu Lingjian frowned and was about to force the assignment.

"I am willing!"

"I am willing!"

Suddenly, Fu Qi, the ancestral class of the Ordnance Supervisor and the military doctor, stood up one after another.

Wang Yuan happily pulled the two of them over and said, "Okay, from now on, you will be mine!"

Both of them were outstanding weapons supervisors and military doctors, and he had long wanted to abduct them.

"Thank you military division!"

Zu Ban and Fu Qi saluted excitedly.

I can stay with the military advisor again, listen to his teachings, and learn real things!

Looking at the excited two people, the other craftsmen and military doctors breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a sense of loss for no reason, as if they instinctively felt that some opportunity had been missed!

Let the others move on their own, Wang Yuan and Wu Ling came to the living room!

"I have already given the letter you asked me to hand over to her..."

Wang Yuan briefly told what happened to Bai Feifei and the woman in purple in Dawang Village.

"Uh!"

Wu Ling was a little surprised, frowned and said: "Military advisor, you have to be careful about that Bai Feifei, she has evil intentions and great ambitions!"

Wang Yuan asked curiously: "Do you know him?"

"Ok!"

Wu Ling nodded: "She is the legitimate daughter of the Bai family and likes to dress up as a man..."

"Stop!"

Wang Yuan was shocked: "You said she is a woman?"
