Seeing that Dong Chuxue had asked everyone in the Shao family, Huo Xi still patiently told her what she knew. Seeing Shi Hua looking around worriedly, she stopped talking.
I'm afraid that if the delay lasts too long, her master and servant will be tortured again.
Then he said, "I'll go back first. Don't worry about writing a reply. I'll ask my people to collect it tomorrow." He called out Tayue and introduced them to her.
After they recognized him, they reassured him: "If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can send someone to come find me."
Chu Xue, the master and the servant, thanked each other again and watched Huo Xi leave.
Seeing that the girl was still holding the old man's letter tightly in her hand, Shi Hua hurriedly said: "Girl, put it away quickly, don't let that evil person see it."
Chuxue hurriedly put the letter into her arms, and looked at the bag of dried mushrooms with difficulty again, "How can I get it back?"
"Here is oil paper. I wrapped it in oil paper for a while and hid it in a basin."
"Will it get wet?"
"Probably not. How about I hide it in my arms?"
Shi Hua stuffed the bag of dried mushrooms into his arms. It was bulging. He took it out and put it under his skirt. His eyes lit up and he said, "Girl, I hid it under my skirt!"
After tucking it up, he stood up and said, "Girl, can't you see it this way?"
Chuxue looked around and said, "It seems I can't see it." She was happy in her heart. Her grandparents sent it to her and her mother all the way, and she didn't want anything to go wrong.
I thought about my mother not being able to eat anymore, and my eyes filled with tears again.
"Girl, don't be sad. Look, the old man and the old lady still remember us. Girl, someone is hurting."
Chuxue nodded heavily, "I don't know how Sister Huo got to that land of thousands of miles, with thousands of mountains and rivers. I envy her so much. Shi Hua, what do you say we escape? Let's go find my grandfather and the others! Again
No matter how hard it is, I am willing to do it."
In the carriage, the master and servants did not speak.
Vanilla Xiahe glanced at Huo Xi and was very happy. They were so lucky to have met such a good girl and such a good master. Although the master was not an official or a big shot, the master never talked about it.
servant.
"Girl, I still remember Mr. Shao and Mrs. Shao. The two old men gave away their son and daughter-in-law, and now they are sending away their only daughter. The white-haired man gave away the black-haired woman. I don't know how sad they felt after hearing the news.
Woolen cloth."
"Girl, can we help Miss Chuxue? She is a lady from an official family, but her life is not as good as mine and Xia He's. She is going to have a filial piety ceremony soon. Looking at her family like this, I'm afraid they won't give it to her.
If you talk about a good relationship, I'm afraid you'll end up in the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den again."
The two maids exchanged words with each other from time to time, their hearts full of sympathy for Dong Chuxue.
"I'll ask Tuyue to go to Dong's house to inquire about it first, and then think about how to help her." Now that Chuxue is like this, I'm afraid she really has to find a good family to marry in order to get out of the current predicament.
But if she finds a husband from a bad family, her mother's fate will be repeated, and she will be sent to the family temple to wait for death.
On the other side, the Zhang family of the British government hosted a banquet for guests today. The whole house was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, filled with joy.
Starting in the morning, there was an endless stream of cars and horses at the gate, and there was an endless stream of guests with their families coming to express their congratulations.
Zhao Duo also received the invitation. He was dressed brightly and went to congratulate him.
Zhang Fu saw him during the dinner and felt that putting him in a small private school was a bit unfair. He asked him if he wanted to change places and return to the army.
Zhao Duo declined, "Thank you so much for your kindness. If I join the army like this, I'm afraid it will cause controversy. It won't be nice for others to say that the Duke is showing favoritism."
Zhao Duo has fought with Zhang Fu for many years and is Zhang Fu's most trusted subordinate. However, one of Zhao Duo's eyes was blinded by smoke in a previous battle. Although outsiders cannot see it, it is good that he only has one eye.
Yes, this is a fact.
People with physical illnesses were not very welcome in the army, so Zhao Duo retired from the army.
"My family is now taken care of by the Duke of the country, and there is no shortage of money at home. I can also teach talented children my skills. Watching them succeed day by day, I feel happy, even happier than winning a battle. In the future, I can help
I ask the Duke to train more people and let them be used by the Duke."
Zhang Fu patted him on the shoulder with great relief: "Okay. It's okay if you think it's okay."
I asked a few questions about the children.
"The children are very hard-working. Now I also teach them some military books and some practical cases. The children are very interested. They will definitely become effective goalkeepers of the Zhang family in the future."
"Very good. How is that Huo Nian?"
"He went out with his family before, and he was very lucky. He got a magical weapon, an ebony silver gun. The kid couldn't put it down, and he came over and asked me if I knew how to play with a gun."
Zhao Duo smiled and shook his head, "My subordinate is accustomed to using knives, but he is not good at marksmanship. The kid still looked disappointed and said, 'Master, why don't you do it?' Haha, I wish I could learn all kinds of martial arts."
Zhang Fu also laughed after hearing this. After laughing, he touched his chin: "I am good at marksmanship, but I can't get away now. When I look for a book on marksmanship, you can give it to him for me."
If not, I will find another opportunity to teach him."
Zhao Duo held up his hands: "I thanked the Duke for that kid! I wonder if that child had accumulated a lot of merit in his previous life, and was reborn into an ordinary family in this life, and even won the favor of the Duke."
If you have the favor of the Duke, as long as you don't grow crooked, are you worried about your future prospects?
Zhang Fu smiled, thinking of Zhao Duo's upright temperament, and cooed not far away: "What do you think of Zhang Jie?"
Zhao Duo turned his head and looked to the side, and saw Zhang Jiezheng surrounded by several young people of similar age. He was being complimented nonstop, with his little head held high and a look of pride on his face.
Zhao Duo's eyes flashed: "Young Master... I heard that although he is not good at martial arts, he is good at studying."
Zhang Fu sighed: "I'm not good at studying either. Although in a family like ours, the children don't rely on the imperial examination to become officials, but they can't be successful in military affairs..."
Zhang Fu sighed deeply again: "I am just two sons, and none of them can inherit my mantle."
It’s a pity. Their family started out with military exploits. Do their descendants want to take the path of civil servants?
It was difficult for Zhao Duo to accept these words, but seeing the happy day, the Duke frowned and comforted him: "The two young masters are still young. Maybe when they grow up, they will naturally become sensible and considerate of the Duke.
This is my problem."
Zhang Fu sighed, and just as he was about to answer a few words, there were already guests calling him over there, so he had to leave Zhao Duo to socialize.
Zhang Fu was still entertaining guests, while Mu Yan had already found a few books recording marksmanship techniques and asked Kan Er to send them to Huo Xi.
Huo Xi took it and took a look, "Shi Family Marksmanship", "Arm Records", and "Selected Spear Skills", all of which contained pictures, theories and techniques.
Especially the "Arm Record", which records the Shijia gun, Emei gun, Majia gun, Yangjia gun, Shajia pole, Shaolin gun, and branch gun, seven types of marksmanship, bringing together the strengths and weaknesses of each.
.
This is like picking up the martial arts that other people have kept hidden in the box. There is also the "Shi Family Marksmanship". The records in it are more detailed than the "Arm Record". It seems that it was left by the Shi Family themselves for future generations.
.
"Where did your young master get these secret skills of war that have not been handed down from ancient times? Isn't he digging into someone else's secret vault?"
