Since he agreed to Xu You, Zhao Guang still had a very professional ethics. He walked out of the restaurant and walked directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion with the wine jar in his arms.
After Sister Guan returned to Jincheng, she returned to her previous situation of following her aunt every day, so it was always a good idea to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find her.
In the martial arts training ground of the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only Guan Ji was there, but Huang Yueying was also standing on the sidelines, watching a person in the field humming and haha practicing martial arts.
Huang Yueying also gave some advice from time to time.
Zhao Guang took a closer look and saw who the woman in the field was if she wasn't the little girl from the Zhang family.
It is common for people who practice martial arts to practice Liufu in the summer and Sanjiu in the winter. Zhao Guang has seen the Guan family sister training hard day and night before.
I didn't expect that the little girl from the Zhang family would work so hard when she started growing up.
"I've met my aunt, I've met my sister."
Zhao Guang walked over, first greeted Huang Yueying, and then greeted Guan Ji with a flattering smile.
"I have met Madam Xun, and I have met Madam Guan."
Wang Xun saluted honestly.
Huang Yueying nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Zhang Xingyi in the field, and said, "You two are here at this time, but you have something to do?"
The two of them often go in and out of the Prime Minister's Mansion now and are not considered outsiders, so Huang Yueying's tone is relatively casual.
"Back to my aunt, my nephew is here. He has something to say to my sister."
Zhao Guang replied.
Although Guan Ji didn't speak, her eyes looked over quietly with doubts in her eyes, as if she didn't understand why Zhao Guang and Wang Xun came to look for her.
"That's right," Zhao Guang explained, "Sister, I just met Xu Zian outside, and he wanted to ask me to bring a message to my sister."
As soon as these words came out, even Huang Yueying couldn't help but look over.
"A member of the Xu family?"
Guan Ji's cold voice sounded, and her beautiful brows wrinkled slightly, "What do they want to do?"
"The Xu family would like to apologize to my sister."
People from the Xu family naturally mainly refer to Xu Xun.
After hearing this, Huang Yueying had a look of understanding on her face. The Xu family was about to give in. If Xu Xun's matter was not resolved, Xu Ci might not have the opportunity to participate in this grand event of annotating classics.
The expression on Guan Ji's face did not change, and she said calmly, "What's wrong with apologizing? Then Xu Xun just made a slip of the tongue. Am I such a stingy person?"
Zhao Guang understood as soon as he heard that Sister A was not thinking of reconciliation.
Huang Yueying looked over a little surprised and a little amused.
This Sanniang would never say such duplicitous words before. I didn’t expect that she would say such words without changing her expression even after a trip to Hanzhong.
"Sister, the Xu family still wants to use the younger brother to make amends with the elder brother."
Zhao Guang knew this would be the result a long time ago, so he said something else immediately.
This time, Guan Ji's expression finally changed slightly, her eyes flashed, she nodded, and said, "I understand."
Zhao Guang finally breathed a sigh of relief secretly, understanding that his sister had agreed.
"Brother Zhao, what are you holding in your hand?"
A clear voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two.
It turned out that Zhang Xingyi had just stopped practicing martial arts and came over when he overheard the conversation between the two. He was very unconvinced and thought to himself: If the Xu family apologized to Feng Langjun, why should the second brother of the Zhao family tell his sister first?
?
Huh, I'm still wearing the sweater that Feng Langjun carefully customized for me! Fortunately, I wrote to Hanzhong early, so I got the upper hand. I got two sets at once, but my sister only had one set.
Nowadays, who in Jincheng doesn’t know that every year when the latest and best woolen sweaters come out in Hanzhong, I will be the first to wear them?
As soon as she thought about this, she felt the unique pride of a little daughter in her heart, so she opened her mouth to interject.
"Oh, this is wine."
As soon as Zhao Guang heard the question from the younger sister of the Zhang family, he tightened the wine jar in his arms and replied quickly.
He couldn't afford to offend any of the three women present.
"Huh? When will the alcohol ban be lifted? How could I not know?"
Zhang Xingyi asked strangely.
Zhao Guang conveyed what the Xu family had said to Guan Ji, and took advantage of Guan Ji's reticent nature to confuse the issue of the Xu family giving a daughter to his brother. He was relaxing in his heart, and when he heard Zhang Ji's words again, he felt that it was right.
This is a good opportunity to change the subject.
"My little sister doesn't know. Not only has the alcohol ban not been lifted, but it has become even stricter. In the past, restaurants would also sell soup and wine. Although it tastes like white water, you can still smell some alcohol. But
I went to take a look today, but they didn’t even allow soup and wine to be sold.”
Huang Yueying next to her looked slightly startled after hearing this.
However, Zhao Guang did not notice his aunt. He only saw him talking, and patted the wine jar in his arms with a little pride, and said, "This wine is from the Xu family who thanked me for passing on the message to my sister.
Sent to me."
When a person relaxes, his mouth becomes mean.
After Zhao Guang said this, he was fine, but he was happy in his heart, so he added one more sentence, "I don't know who did the immoral thing. Do you think this soup and wine can be considered wine? Nowadays, the big man is not short of food, even
You can’t even smell the alcohol..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang Yueying scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about! The big man has only lived a good life for a few days, and you dare to say that the big man is not short of food? Do you still want to let the wine brewing go? Today let's let him
If you make soup wine, who knows if you will be able to make real wine tomorrow?”
There was a loud shout that frightened Zhao Guang to the point where his tongue was almost tied. He subconsciously shrank his neck and looked at Huang Yueying. He saw his aunt's face was tense and she was staring at him coldly.
"Yes, yes, my nephew is wrong."
Zhao Guang, who has had a psychological shadow on Huang Yueying since he was a child, began to admit his mistake before he could figure out where he made his aunt angry.
"Now that the alcohol ban has been issued, it is natural that it must be strictly enforced!"
Huang Yueying said righteously and sternly, "There is no opening at all, so it is right not to sell this soup and wine."
No one noticed that a smile flashed in the eyes of Guan Ji, who always showed her coolness, because she remembered what her aunt said to the prime minister with her hands on her hips when she brought the woolen cloth over a few days ago.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that the ban on soup and wine in this restaurant first originated from a quarrel between the prime minister and his aunt.
But what she didn't know was that Huang Yueying actually had more on her mind.
It seems that spring will begin soon. Once spring begins, news of the Southern Expedition will spread, and food will probably be tight again. Alang's actions are just to prepare for a rainy day.
"I'm so fond of drinking at a young age. I don't know where I learned this bad habit."
Huang Yueying continued to reprimand Zhao Guang, "Are there many examples of drunkenness causing trouble? Give me the wine!"
"ah?!"
Zhao Guang was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, I didn't do anything wrong? Why is my aunt so angry?
So...you have to hand over the wine?
If I had known earlier, I might as well have just drank it in the restaurant!
When Zhang Xingyi heard her aunt say this, she immediately remembered that her lord lost his life because of drinking, his eyes turned red, and he felt sympathy in his heart.
At that moment, he walked over quickly and wanted to snatch the wine jar from Zhao Guang's arms.
Zhao Guang subconsciously wanted to hug the wine jar tightly, but when he saw Huang Yueying glaring at him, and saw the Zhang family's little girl looking like she would not give up if she couldn't get it, he felt guilty and had to let go angrily.
open.
Seeing Zhang Xingyi put the wine jar on the table with a "dong" sound, Zhao Guang felt a pain in his heart.
"Look at you like this!"
It was obvious that Huang Yueying didn't want to let him go so easily, and continued, "I have made some merits and let you join the government as a soldier. The prime minister is planning to use you. But look at yourself, what will happen after you return to Jincheng?"
Is there any sign of progress?"
"Look at Siniang, it's such a cold day, and you still know that you have to come here to practice martial arts. As an elder brother, are you ashamed? From today on, you will practice martial arts for me. Sanniang, prepare yourself and wait for the end.
Give this incompetent guy some pointers!"
"Yes, aunt."
Guan Ji's plain voice sounded.
But when Zhao Guang heard this voice, he trembled all over and looked at his sister like a weak chicken, his eyes full of pleading. Unfortunately, Guan Ji ignored her.
"Uncle... aunt," Zhao Guang burst out with a strong desire to live at the moment of death, "before my nephew left Hanzhong, his elder brother gave him a military book and asked him to study it carefully after returning to Jincheng.
.”
"My nephew is afraid of disappointing his brother's expectations. These days, he has been studying military science very hard. It's not because he doesn't want to make progress."
"Articles of War?" Huang Yueying looked at Zhao Guang suspiciously, "That boy can I still have a book of war for you?"
"Exactly. Not only did I give one copy to my nephew, but I also gave one to Zishi. He said that the two books complement each other. If you don't believe it, my aunt just asked Zishi."
Zhao Guang said quickly.
Seeing Huang Yueying's eyes falling on him, Wang Xun said quickly, "Back to Madam, it's true. My brother also said that you can try to train troops with the troops I have in hand."
Wang Xun's credibility is obviously stronger than that of Zhao Guang, Huang Yueying is convinced now.
But hearing what Wang Xun said again, Huang Yueying suddenly felt like she was thinking. It seemed that the boy had guessed Alang's intention to conquer the south. Otherwise, why would he let them try to train troops?
"That's fine."
Huang Yueying nodded.
Zhao Guang felt happy, thinking that he had escaped this time after all.
"But since I'm here today, I might as well go out and practice some practice to avoid getting rusty."
Huang Yueying added lightly.
Zhao Guang's face turned green on the spot.
In January of the third year of Jianxing's reign, at the first imperial meeting, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, came forward and said that the rebellion in the south had not been quelled for a long time, so it was time to send a large army south to quell the rebellion to show the power of the Han Dynasty.
As soon as this proposal came out, the Han people were in an uproar.
Some people raised objections, saying that Nanzhong was a barren land and that large-scale military expeditions was a waste of people and money and should not be abandoned.
The Prime Minister reprimanded him in court and said that the Han culture was about to flourish and that it was necessary to use military strategies to support it. Moreover, Zagotel's new uniform was a sign that the Han Dynasty would regain its majesty.
The latter retreated in shame.
Your Majesty followed the words of the Prime Minister and ordered the world to choose a day to march south.
Hanzhong Nanxiang.
After the beginning of spring, the weather is still cold, but I can already feel the slightly warm atmosphere in the air.
"Brother, brother, the message of the Southern Expedition has come down!"
Feng Yongzheng stood on the ground, watching the servants planting vegetables under the leadership of the second mother of the Xu family.
At this time, Li Qiu's shouts could be heard in the distance, and he was seen running towards him without caring about his manners, holding an official document in his hand, followed by Huang Chong.
"Oh, is it finally here?"
Feng Yong took the document from Li Qiu's hand and glanced at it. He could understand the words, but he still didn't understand the meaning of the classical Chinese text on it. He pretended to hum twice and returned the official document to Li Qiu.
"Has the date for the Southern Expedition been set?"
"Not yet, I just said that all counties should fully cooperate with the southern expedition."
As soon as Li Qiu finished speaking, he heard Li Yi's voice again, "Brother, brother, there is an official document from Jincheng."
Looking up, he saw Li Yi holding an official document in his hand, just like Li Qiu before, walking towards him in a hurry, followed by the same person, it was Yang Wanwan.
"It's still the front and rear feet."
Feng Yong laughed and refused to accept Li Yi's official document. It was difficult to read anyway, so he might as well ask Li Yi to tell him.
"What does it say?"
"The Prime Minister is preparing to march south personally," Li Yi breathed out, with horror in his eyes and a hint of awe at the same time.
He recalled what his brother had said at the beginning. It turned out that it was not a slip of the tongue, but that he had guessed at that time that the prime minister was going to personally lead the troops south.
"Also, the Prime Minister has come and asked my brother to return to Jincheng on a certain day."
"I got it." Feng Yong nodded, turned around, looked at the ground, and shouted, "What are you looking at? Continue planting vegetables. The second mother of the Xu family, and the boy of the Li family, you two come over."
"This vegetable field supports the textile workshop and pasture, so we can't be careless. Last year, we could hardly provide for just one workshop. This year, there is an extra pasture. If there is another problem, I will blame you.
ask."
After Feng Yong spoke, he gave Li Tong a stern look.
If it weren't for the fact that those slaves were easy to fool, as long as they were kept from starving, then everything would be fine. Last year, something went wrong out of nowhere.
The reason was very simple. Whether the boy from the Li family didn't know about the fields or didn't care about it, the vegetables he grew couldn't be supplied in time. Feng Yong finally had to increase the supply of food and suppress the matter for the time being.
.
Later, there was another settlement of accounts in the autumn, and the woolen cloth of the sixth room of the Li family was cut off for two months.
Because of this incident, Li Mu carried Li Tong to Feng Yong and slapped Li Tong more than a dozen times in front of him, turning him into a pig's head.
If Feng Yong hadn't spoken, Li Mu would have slapped Li Tong unconscious on the spot.
This woman is really ruthless.
Later, a message came from the sixth room of the Li family, saying that they wanted Li Tong to return to Jincheng to receive the family law.
When Li Tong heard this, his face turned ashen on the spot.
Although he is the legitimate son, the sixth brother of the Li family is begging for Feng Yong now. Compared with the other family, the legitimate son is far from enough. As long as Feng Yong is cruel enough and gives the slightest hint, the family will beat him to death.
That is also possible.
Fortunately, Li Mu was his compatriot sister, so she begged Feng Yong, and Li Tong escaped.
After that incident, Li Tong lost the courage to compete with Feng Yong.
At this time, after hearing Feng Yong's words, he trembled slightly and lowered his head.
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"
Feng Yong refused to let him go.
"heard it."
Li Tong bit his lip and drew blood, but he could only respond in a low voice.
"Second mother of the Xu family, if he doesn't understand, you teach him. If he does something wrong, just tell Manager Li and she will take care of it."
Feng Yong looked at Xu Erniang again, "I've given you the opportunity. I hope you will be as good at farming as the Xu family said."
The second mother-in-law of the Xu family was blessed, "I understand."
Although it could be seen that she was a little afraid of Feng Yong, there was no panic on her face, and she seemed to be somewhat confident.
Feng Yong nodded with satisfaction and said to Yang Wanwan, "Wei Ran, go and inform Huo Jianling and tell him to go to the meeting hall and tell him that I have something to discuss."
Since the dividend was paid out in October, Huo Yi finally understood that even if he farmed the land for another ten years, he would probably not be able to compare with the output of the workshop and pasture in one year.
So he took advantage of the opportunity when the ranch was moved from Nanzheng to Nanxiang and moved Zhu Yejian over. He couldn't take care of the workshop, but he couldn't lose the ranch.
He was the one who looked after the ranch when he was in Nanzheng. If he didn't come with him at this time, wouldn't he be giving up the ranch? With such great credit, he would give it up at his request. What else would he be like if he wasn't a fool?
Whoever wants to give His Majesty the credit of planting 80,000 acres of land can do it. Anyway, he has to focus on the pasture and workshop first.
