Passing through the station

The final account book is very trivial, with large sums of income and small sums, occasionally accompanied by some odds and ends, the amount accumulated along the way is no less than that of Bailifang, which was already a little famous at the beginning.

Chu Hao looked at Ruan Bai who was completely listless, pulled the dog's paw and pinched it, indicating that he would be punished later.

Ruan Bai twitched the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and revealed a hint of a smile.He knew that Chu Hao was comforting him.Chu Hao is an open-minded person, and he said that he will take care of the logistics, so he will leave it all to him.Now let alone the family's financial power, even the financial power of his Qianhu Mansion is actually under his control.

In fact, Ruan Bai should also be involved in the real power of some logistics materials at Shunyang Pass... But these things will obviously not be taken out, and even Ruan Bai's so-called private money may indeed be convenient for a while, but in the final analysis , These things are visible to people.

Ruan Bai hid the things that were really sidelined, and he would never bring them out because of nervousness.

After all, the two get along day and night, and Ruan Bai's hiding is not aimed at him, there is no secret between the two of them.

King Pingxi looked at the ledger intently, and the items on it were almost a list of political achievements.

The one that seems to be the least prominent in it is the improvement of the unicycle.But the income is not much.From what follows, this is a long-term business.In addition to modularizing the production and maintenance of unicycles, Ruan Bai was also responsible for purchasing spare parts for the army, and after refitting them, sold them at a suitable price to some peddlers who didn't have high requirements for unicycles.Most of the price difference was returned to the army, except that he kept a part of his hard work.

King Pingxi just did some calculations and knew the benefits of doing so.Ruan Bai made money; the army had solid and reliable wheelbarrows to use, and there was a sum of money compensation; the merchants also got benefits.

Judging from the short-term and a single spare part, Ruan Bai's money in this area is almost pitifully small.But I can't stand the large amount.Especially once the war starts, the consumption of wheelbarrows is definitely not a small amount for the transportation and delivery of various materials.

In addition, the use of the kang is no longer necessary, it is a good thing that is beneficial to the people's livelihood; the abacus is now popular in the palace, and its role in calculating accounts is obvious; the role of the stirrup and horseshoe is only waiting for the final conclusion of the big battle in front of you...

Others, such as military appearance, such as planting trees and flowers for writing letters, can only be said to be the icing on the cake on the above-mentioned thick and colorful.

White tooth tree is a solid cheap wood, but it can't stand to grow fast, and it looks good.The saplings that were planted in the beginning of spring for about three to five years have grown significantly taller in just a few months. Although the leaves are small, the spreading crown is dense and green.Under the shade of seldom-tended trees, wild flowers are growing all over the ground.

Traveling in the summer is not an easy task. Sitting in a carriage, even if you open the curtains, it is still stuffy.If you were riding a horse, it wouldn't be so stuffy, but the sun shone brightly and directly, making it even hotter.King Pingxi was better. For those who are not used to riding horses like Princess Wang, a layer of skin would wear off their legs after riding for a long time.

How could King Pingxi be willing?Therefore, it is said that the speed is very limited.It's just that the husband and wife came out alone, which was able to get rid of the big team behind for a day or two.After passing through Leyang Town, the scenery has changed unexpectedly. The neat and wide tree-lined road brought even a psychological cooling down, which made the princess feel much more comfortable.

With all these things, Ruan Bai is still a little postman at the border until now, this is the biggest unreasonable thing.With so many real achievements, he has changed from a sixth-class postman to a fifth-class postman.

The more King Pingxi looked at it, the more angry he became. When did it become so difficult for a Yi Cheng to be promoted?A large number of inactive officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee can still rack their brains to brag about their performance in office like flowers every time they are evaluated.Didn't the emperor's little old man treat his family as nobody and bully their second child? !

King Pingxi's anger was obvious, and Ruan Bai felt like sitting on pins and needles, subconsciously leaning against Chu Hao.The place at home is small, except for the reclining chair, the chairs have no armrests.At this moment, the two chairs were close together, Chu Hao simply stretched out his hand to support Ruan Bai's shoulder, his face was uglier than his father's: What's so fierce, what should I do if I scare Ergou's guts?

The princess sat on the side, silently watching the little movements of the two.From her son's letter, she knew that there was something wrong with Chu Hao's mood.In the letters from home, it doesn't matter if the length and frequency of mentioning Ruan Bai are high, the emotions brought out between the lines are really eye-catching.

But before she came, she was quite optimistic in her heart.Knowing the son is like the mother, her son is not at all enlightened in terms of emotions, otherwise, at this age, which other sons don't know anything about personnel?As for her son, he is a fool. Apart from governing the country, his mind is marching and deploying troops.

She originally thought that if Ruan Bai fell in love after she came, she would recognize this godson and bring him back to Xijing. When Chu Hao came back from the war, she would send him to the capital for training.While the Ministry of Industry's face was swollen by Ruan Bai, a non-staff member, at the same time, Ruan Bai was staring at him closely, which was almost known to passers-by.Ruan Bai has tossed so many things back and forth, it is obvious that he has both talent and talent in this area, and the entry department will definitely be able to get a good development.

In this way, for a few years before and after, the two people will not meet face to face, and no matter how strong the relationship is, it will fade.When everything settles down, what will be left to the two will only be the purest brotherhood...

The communication with Ruan Bai lost the initiative at the beginning, but it is undeniable that the child Ruan Bai is likable enough, and her eyes and personality are good enough.Looking at Ruan Bai who was so nervous that he couldn't sit still, the princess felt a little soft-hearted.She sighed softly, everything that was planned before coming here was broken, and now she doesn't know how to speak.

Facing those black and white eyes staring at her eagerly, she couldn't use power to suppress them simply and rudely, and she couldn't utter evil words.Ruan Bai and Chu Hao were together, and she knew that her son must have abducted other children without any explanation.

In the eyes of King Pingxi, the records in Ruan Bai's private ledger were already too terrifying. Only when Ruan Bai in front of him was replaced by an old man who was very talented and aged, could it be barely reasonable.But Ruan Bai is only fifteen.A 15-year-old boy can do this. What was he doing when he was 15 years old?Even his son, whom he has always been proud of, had no achievements at the age of 15.No matter how biased his heart is, he can't say that Ruan Bai is not worthy of his son...

Counting down, his eyes stayed on the last payment, and he asked: "What is a telescope?" A new thing just made?With the previous items at the bottom, Wang Pingxi naturally looked forward to new things.Telescope, as the name suggests, refers to the ability to see far away?And the price... is outrageously expensive!

Although this topic is a bit out of line and doesn't fit the current major wedding affairs, it is at least the beginning of an exchange.

Ruan Bai regained some control over himself, let out a breath of foul air slowly, and explained simply: "The telescope is a device I made with the help of King Yue Ze, Mr. Tang from the Ministry of Industry and others. It can see the eyes. unseen far away."

Ruan Bai's explanations have always been dry. He believes in using real objects to impress people, so he elbowed Chu Hao and motioned, "Where's your telescope?"

Chu Hao was a little unwilling.The workmanship of the first-generation telescope can only be considered precise, but it has nothing to do with exquisiteness. It is a big thing, and the effect of carrying it with you is like holding a small baseball bat.

Chu Hao went back to his room and handed the "baseball bat" to his father. After his father stretched out his hand to hold it, he was still reluctant to let go, and begged for a guarantee: "Give it back to me after reading it."

King Pingxi looked at his son with contempt, and got angry: "I still care about this little thing of yours?" It doesn't look good, how can it be sold so expensive?

The method of using the telescope is not difficult. Ruan Bai took Pingxi Wang and his wife outside, and briefly explained how to use it. Alright, tell me what time it is for dinner?"

The princess glanced at King Pingxi, looked down at the binoculars, and tried it herself.What a big fat dog!She put down the binoculars and found that Xiaopang was still far away; when she raised the binoculars and looked again, the short hair on the fat dog's body could be clearly seen.

This is very interesting.

Chu Hao looked at his own mother helplessly, and explained dryly: "I will use it for the war later." I can't give it to my mother to play with.

The princess put the binoculars on her son and muttered, "Stingy."

Fuck!Is this a question of pettiness?Is this simply a question of pettiness?Chu Hao wanted to jump, but when he thought of his mother's iron sand palm, he didn't dare to say anything, and quickly hid the telescope.

King Pingxi looked at the place where Chu Hao hid his things, which seemed to be the place where Ruan Bai took the account book just now. While Ruan Bai was busy in the kitchen, he grabbed his son: "Stinky boy... you and Xiaoer sleep in the same room?"

The concubine's mind was still on the binoculars, and now she heard this, she glanced over.His hands and feet are so fast, he doesn't look like her stupid son at all.

Chu Hao looked at his parents who looked very unhappy, and nodded slowly: "Yes. I have slept with my second brother for several months."

The concubine's feet softened and she sat back on the chair.She thought they were coming soon enough, but she didn't expect to be so late.

Chu Hao pursed his lips.Even if he actually knew the matter between himself and Ruan Bai in his heart, it was impossible for his parents to accept it as soon as he said it.But seeing their reaction now, he also felt uncomfortable.

"Father, mother, it's all my fault. Don't embarrass the second brother. When I met the second brother, he was still a child and didn't understand anything..." This was a thorn in his heart.Although there are examples of same-sex marriages in Dazhou, they are very few after all, and most of them are looked down upon by others. In the eyes of some old-fashioned people, they are even regarded as violating human relations.If his Ruan Bai hadn't met him, with his talent, he shouldn't have suffered those...

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I'll help my second brother cook."

The husband and wife looked at their son's dejected look, and it was inevitable that they felt distressed.This is their only child, and they must be more worried than anyone else.Chu Hao's performance has never made them worry.No matter how strict their requirements are for Chu Hao, he seems to be able to do it easily.However, they didn't expect that the first time they were so worried would be under such a situation.

They didn't even look at each other, as if they were immersed in their own worlds thinking, but the two well-maintained hands with traces of time were tightly held together.

After a long time, the princess was the first to speak: "Xiao Er is a good boy." Their son lied to other children, what can they say as parents?

"Yeah." King Pingxi nodded in response, and after a moment of silence, he sneered, "I'm afraid I'm going to do what that person wants this time."

The princess stretched out her other hand, and patted it on the back of King Pingxi's hand.

From the beginning to the end, the garden villa deposits that Ruan Bai was worried about were not in the consideration of the two of them at all, and they could tell who would marry who by looking at their bodies.Besides, with the accumulation of Pingxi Palace, even with Ruan Bai's ability, I'm afraid it will take a few lifetimes to catch up.As for the background, there is no need to talk about it.

Regardless of gender, Ruan Bai is indeed the best child they have ever seen, the key is that their son likes it.Alas, their son loves...

In the kitchen, dishes have already filled the table.Bowl next to bowl, basin on basin.When Chu Hao took another plate from Ruan Baisheng and put it on the table, he realized that the plates had already stacked two and a half layers.

Usually two people eat, and it is not very rich.Three dishes and one soup, at most, the amount is larger.Now in summer, the dishes are even simpler.In many cases, it is a large plate of cold noodles, plus a large plate of white cut meat, served with iced fruit wine or refreshing vegetable soup.

He turned around and clasped Ruan Bai's hand holding the kitchen knife: "Second Brother, I've had enough food, so there's no need to cook."

"Oh." Ruan Bai responded as if he was stupid, and it took a while to really listen to the words, and put down the kitchen knife, "Oh. I will serve rice, you go and ask the prince and concubine to eat."

Hearing Ruan Bai's retreating address, Chu Hao's heart tightened suddenly, the pain made him forget to breathe for a moment.He took a step forward, quickly hugged Ruan Bai tightly, and whispered firmly in his ear: "Brother is always here."

"Yeah." Ruan Bai lingered on Chu Hao's embrace for a while, rubbing his forehead before pushing away.

Chu Hao was a little worried. Even though the distance was only a few steps, he still turned around every step of the way, as if Ruan Baihui would suddenly disappear.

When Chu Hao's figure was completely out of sight, Ruan Bai lowered his head, opened the corners of his mouth, and grinned almost to the back of his ears, with an exaggerated arc but no trace of a smile, full of bloodthirsty and ferocity.

grass!Who dares to rob his wife!

When he was an agent or a fake?How easy is it to bully him as a retired agent?Believe it or not, he knocked Chu Hao unconscious, and the two of them went wandering around the world!

The world is so big, and there is not only one big week!Tch, rare!Get the atomic bomb out sooner or later...

Chu Hao didn't know that in the short time he went to call someone, his cute, soft, cute, well-behaved and sensible Ruan Ergou had already plowed the entire planet back and forth several times.

When King Pingxi stepped into the door, he seemed to feel that something was wrong. After he calmed down, the feeling disappeared. It can only be attributed to the fact that he did not take his wife to eat in such a small place, and he was worried that his wife would not get used to it.As for himself, when the march was the most difficult in his early years, it would be nice to have something to eat, not even a full meal, let alone where to eat.

Ruan Bai tilted his head and looked at King Pingxi serving the princess for dinner without any trace.The princess looked a little uncomfortable, but she was well taken care of by King Pingxi.

Without saying a word, eating a meal is a bit boring.

King Pingxi and his concubine had a good meal. It can be seen from the frequency of serving dishes for the concubine by King Pingxi, and also from the amount of leftover meals.

On the contrary, Chu Hao and Ruan Bai couldn't eat.

These days, the time to eat is early.After eating, King Pingxi and Princess Wang went out for a walk.

Chu Hao explained: "My mother usually doesn't have much chance to stroll outside like this. Other people are still behind, and few people in this place know my parents, so I can just go shopping more."

Ruan Bai was a little puzzled, not knowing what kind of attitude they had, so he responded indiscriminately: "It's still early before the market closes."

Along with the properties here in Shunyang Pass, more and more have been excavated and integrated.The bazaar here also became famous among the merchants.Different from the ordinary people who come to set up stalls, basically they have to go back around noon; these merchants live in the market after they come, and the time to close the stalls always has to wait until it is dark enough to see clearly. If the business is good , And light the lights in the courtyard.

As for the source of business, nothing is better than the soldiers and generals in Shunyang Pass.Ten miles away, they have to run back and forth every morning, and they don’t think it’s too far; when there’s nothing to do at night, comrades-in-arms will come out in small groups to hang out together, even if they don’t buy something novelty, it’s still lively; if you’re lucky, I can also catch up with the postmen who set up stalls to write letters for me... Now the letters can be sent directly to many places.

Pingxi Wang and his wife walked all the way, but they didn't expect that the market in the evening was more lively than in the daytime.The goods range from fur and herbs to needles and threads, exquisite and crude, everything that one expects to find.

With a bit of deliberation, the couple put aside the shock they had received in the afternoon, bought a lot of things that they didn't need at all, and piled them up in front of Chu Haoruan Bai when they came back. Regardless of what they thought, they went back to the post house to rest up.

Ruan Bai looked at the things on the table with a strange expression on his face. He raised his finger and poked Chu Hao's waist: "Your parents agree?"

Chu Hao rubbed his chin, frowned, and did not dare to draw conclusions lightly: "I don't know." Experience and lessons from childhood told him that he was the only one played by his parents in the applause.For such a big matter in front of them, it took less than two hours from the time they knew about it to just now. How could they accept it so quickly?

Ruan Bai pushed Chu Hao to fetch water to wash up: "Your parents have no objection to us continuing to live in the same house."

If you really don't accept it, the first step must be isolation and custody.Living in a house, sleeping in a bed, lying in a quilt, etc., don't even think about it.

Chu Hao was also stunned by Ruan Bai's words, he thought and thought, but he didn't want to understand what his parents were so unpredictable.But no matter how much he struggled, he still fell asleep on the pillow.

He is really tired these days.In fact, it is not entirely his own business.Although he has the most soldiers among thousands of households, he still has a "virtuous wife" who helps him handle all the trivial things, even better than what he does by himself.

For the soldiers under his opponent, all he needs to do is to arrange tasks and train them.He has detailed plans for these, and he is used to doing them at ordinary times. He only needs to follow the steps step by step, and does not need to expend much effort.

What kept him so busy was the task sent by General Cao.Among a group of busy generals, he seemed to be too idle, so he was arrested by General Cao.Whoever is too busy to lift, let him go up.There are practical needs in this, and it is also done deliberately with General Cao.Anyone with a discerning eye knows that after this battle, his thousand households probably won't be able to stay in Shunyang Pass.Before that, General Cao had to let him go through all the things he should learn, which can be regarded as a disguised form of officialdom management.

As for General Cao himself, in the middle of the night tonight, he will take part of the Cao family army out of the city gate and go to the grassland.Tomorrow morning, when Chu Hao wakes up, the entire Shunyang Pass will be handed over to him.He was tired, but it wasn't that he couldn't bear it; but he knew that he had to hurry up to rest, otherwise he might not have time to rest in the next few months.

Ruan Bai himself did the same, forcing himself to fall asleep.

Neither Chu Hao nor General Cao would tell him information that could be regarded as military secrets.But it would be a lie to say that he really knew nothing.Among other things, General Cao left with so many people, and kept the news tightly. All the material transfers were arranged by him himself.When receiving this task, General Cao also hinted that he might be needed to send supplies to the grassland later.

At such a time, King Pingxi's arrival was probably a coincidence, but if he could come at this moment, he would undoubtedly be able to directly suppress Shunyang Pass.No matter who has small thoughts, he dare not argue in front of this person.

Just after midnight, on the side of Shunyang Pass facing the grassland, the huge city gate quietly opened.General Cao led thousands of soldiers out of the city gate without a sound, then jumped off his horse and knelt down to salute the city tower.The rest of the soldiers also knelt down.

King Pingxi stood on the high tower, raised his hand slightly under the inconspicuous moonlight.

General Cao got up and mounted his horse. Thousands of people quickly disappeared into the night. From beginning to end, there was almost no sound.

King Pingxi stood at the top of the city for a while.The Cao family's titans are indeed well-deserved.He squinted his eyes and thought about it. It was dark and he couldn't see clearly. It seemed that Cao Xu and the others didn't bring much food.There is no luggage, and making meritorious deeds on the grassland is not something that can be accomplished in three to five days.

He suddenly remembered Ruan Bai's private money account book, and cursed in a low voice: "One or two, they are all brats." The older one ran to the border without telling me, and the younger one ran to the grassland without telling me.When Lao Tzu is dead, or look down on Lao Tzu?Forget about Chu Hao, there are probably not many who can beat him in the entire Great Zhou; Ruan Bai is only a little older, when will you need a baby in a war?It seems that when I go back, my wife will have a good meal!
