At noon, when Gongsun Xun and his wife were muttering about something in the store, the scene outside was actually very lively.
You must know that Liucheng is not a county town, but a purely military city. To the northwest is the Yu River, which is the natural border between the Han Liaoxi County and Xianbei... Of course, if you feel that the word Yu River is a bit unfamiliar
, the Daling River must be familiar to people.
In short, this is an important military support point on the border between the Han Dynasty and Xianbei. Two hundred miles to the east is Yangle City, and behind Yangle City is the famous Liaohe Plain, which is also the essence of the five counties outside the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty.
Xuantu County, the Liaodong vassal state (Changli County), Liaodong County's commandery Xiangping, and of course Liaoxi County's commandery Yangle, are all crowded here.
As for three hundred miles to the south, there is Lulongsai, which is the gateway to Hebei, so of course it goes without saying.
In other words, as long as the two important points of Liucheng and Lulongsai are maintained, the Xianbei people will basically have nothing to do with the defense system of the Han Dynasty... Of course, if someone must want to cross the city and kill by force, then there is nothing you can do.
However, please be sure to refer to Ke Zuitan, an adult from central Xianbei who was trampled to a pulp and his head could not be found.
And since we are talking about a frontier military location, we can generally assume that this is a place with developed commerce and trade... Yes, the Amway's warehouse here is terrifyingly large. Not only does it almost cover the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the Liucheng garrison, but it also directly provides food and clothing here.
He and the surrounding small Xianbei tribes conducted some legal transactions or transactions that were generally considered legal by the local garrison.
So back to the present, with the arrival of Aunt Gongsun and the army gathered in Liucheng, leaving aside Han Dang who had been a temporary worker on the Amway, so he was somewhat mentally prepared, the others such as Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Cheng Pu, Lou Gui and others
This time I really learned a lot!
I saw that the Han army and the Wuhuan army who had just finished the big battle came to the Anli in Liucheng to trade. The trading range ranged from tall horses to rusty arrowheads, from large quantities of grain to fresh horse meat and horse bones, from salty
From the salted fish that obviously exceeds the standard to the pure white cloth... almost everything is included.
There are even sergeants from the so-called "free shipping areas" such as Sene, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, and Guangyang. They don't even want anything, but are rushing to give up some profits. As long as Amway helps deliver money and food directly to their homes.
.
As for Mohu Zang, who was crying bitterly a few days ago, he was jumping up and down now, using his qualifications as a first-level Amway offline, to buy and sell there, and to use his hands to defeat the extremely tyrannical Wuhuan on the battlefield.
You cannot take care of yourself if you are teased by others.
Anyway, after looking around at the door, others couldn't figure it out. Lou Gui, who had worked as an accountant for a few days and had some knowledge, felt that Amway had to take 30% of the spoils of this battle in vain!
However, it was not just Lou Gui and others who were watching this scene. On the high platform used for defense and command in the city, Zhao Bao, the prefect of Liaoxi Province, was also staring at the grand event here with a strange expression.
"Fu Jun..." Liucheng Guardsman is a Sima from another department of Qianshi. He was quite uneasy when he saw this. "Would you like me to lead a team to restrain it?"
"Restrict what?" Zhao Bao sighed. "I'm not one of those famous soldiers who only know how to sit and scream all day long. The soldiers fought with their lives to save my mother, so what if I made a little fortune on the battlefield? Those Xianbei people ripped off their bodies.
What can they do with the dirty leather robes they bring back, wash them and wear them again? It would be safer to exchange them for some food!"
"Fu Jun Rende." General Liucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Besides, even if we can restrain the soldiers of our own county, do we still have the nerve to restrain the elites from all over Liaodong who came to help in the battle? As for the Wuhuan people... hum, we can restrain them and just listen?"
This time the Liucheng garrison did not speak anymore... Naqiu Liju was halfway through the pursuit when he suddenly said that it was getting dark and it was not good to fight at night, so he forcibly let go of all the Xianbei soldiers who could have been blocked on the south bank of the Daling River.
The one who was unhappy was no one else but him, Sima of the Liucheng Garrison Department who suddenly realized that he had lost a lot of military merit when he woke up early in the morning!
You must know that if he could coordinate with the pursuers and kill thousands of Xianbei people, he, a Sima of the Thousand Stone Division, would probably be able to turn over and become a Captain of the Two Thousand Stones... That would be like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate!
Then what?
Then everything was gone! Are you angry?
"That's it!" Zhao Bao sighed, turned around and left, followed immediately by a large number of Liaoxi county officials. "Be careful not to let the armor plates and arrowheads fall into the hands of the Xianbei people. As for the salted fish... forget about the salted fish, you have to give it to them.
The Gongsun family has some face."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fu, the armor plates and arrowheads purchased by the Amway will never be used to aid the enemy!" The Sima from the other department answered very neatly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Bao, who was walking in front, couldn't help but shook his head. Even the few smart accompanying county officials looked back at the other commanders speechlessly... Why do you do this so simply, for fear that the county guard doesn't know?
Do you Liucheng garrison have various connections with Amway?
"Mother!"
Just when everyone was about to follow the prefect to end the inspection, they suddenly heard a greeting from the prefect in front. Everyone looked up and saw Mrs. Zhao walking up to the high platform in person. Although they were confused, they hurriedly
They all bowed their heads to say hello...
It turned out that after the battle that day, Zhao Bao ordered the camp to move forward to Liucheng, and Mrs. Zhao was also extremely courageous. Although she had gone through such a dangerous incident, she still held on and refused to be escorted directly to Yangle.
, instead she said she wanted to thank the sergeant who rescued her in person, and then actually took her daughter-in-law and granddaughter across the battlefield again and returned to Liucheng.
"Mother, why don't you rest in the official residence?" Zhao Bao quickly greeted carefully. "It's very windy on this high platform. In spring, be careful to catch a cold..."
"I won't hide anything from my son, that's all... If I can't finalize something with you as soon as possible, I will always feel uneasy!"
"Mom, just tell me." As soon as he said this, Zhao Bao was naturally speechless.
In fact, not to mention Zhao Bao, the surrounding county officials and officers were all gearing up, preparing to take the opportunity to show off in front of the county governor and the old lady... You must know that anyone who is not blind will understand.
After this battle, there is a high probability that Governor Zhao will be granted the title of Marquis immediately, and he is not very young, so his future will be limitless! And Mrs. Zhao, with just two words from her godson before the battle,
I'm afraid it will also be entered into the history books.
In this case, as a subordinate official and subordinate, what else do you think if you don't flatter me?
"In that case, Yun'er and Yun'er's mother should also come up together!" Mrs. Zhao nodded slightly, but then turned back and shouted to the bottom of the high platform.
Zhao Bao immediately fell into a trance, and all the officials in the county also fell into a trance, because soon they all saw the prefect's wife and the prefect's daughter also getting on the high platform, the latter also holding a raccoon or something like that.
of strange beasts...
By the way, the status of married women these days is very high, and it is normal for them to show up. Even when holding a formal banquet, according to etiquette, the hostess needs to come out specifically to greet the guests. For example, Mrs. Zhao said that she
He wanted to thank the soldiers in person, and then Zhao Bao immediately announced that he would have a feast for the soldiers. This was actually a subtle implementation of this etiquette.
All in all, if Mrs. Zhao, a widow and an elder whose husband had been dead for who knows how many years, comes up, there will naturally be no problem; if Mrs. Zhao comes up, there will be no explanation;
What does it mean for a young lady who has just left the government to suddenly come among so many officials?
Moreover, it seemed that her maiden name was shouted out in front of everyone?!
For a time, many young county officials were very excited, as if they thought of their colleague Gongsun Zan... What a role model he was!
"My son," Mrs. Zhao's next words made these people even more overjoyed. "When you came to Liaoxi from Guangling, you passed by our Qinghe on the way, specifically for Yun'er and Ji, and I brought her here for the purpose.
She is looking for a good family in western Liaoning..."
"Whoever Mother has taken a fancy to, you might as well go back to the official residence and tell me." Although Zhao Bao was a little awakened, he was still a little embarrassed when he saw his daughter standing there holding a cat, her face flushed with shame. "I'll tell you then.
Go and communicate with that person again and ask him to send a matchmaker."
"I have already said it. If this matter is not finalized, I will not be able to live in peace for a day...and this is a beautiful thing, so why should I cover it up?"
"This is what Mother taught you." Zhao Bao was a filial son, and his widowed mother said so. What else could he do besides bowing his head and saying yes?
Seeing that her son had surrendered, Mrs. Zhao said seriously: "Actually, I fell in love with a family on the way here, and I had an idea in my heart at that time. I entered Lulongsai and inquired about this person's background and deeds.
I was even more determined, but I had to delay it because of what happened this time."
"My son will die."
"Listen to me and don't interrupt." Mrs. Zhao said dissatisfied. "But it is a coincidence that I was rescued by this person again. It is also fate... To tell you the truth, the reason why I came to Liucheng
, firstly, of course I want to thank the sergeants who have contributed so much, and secondly, I just don’t want to lose such a good grandson-in-law."
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhao Bao didn't have time to think about it for a while, but instinctively felt that he was a bit out of place.
"Why can't you be anxious?" the old lady asked confidently. "You must know that this person's family is also a high-ranking family, and he is such a hero. If he comes too late, he will be recruited into the court to be an official after making great achievements this time.
What do you think I should do if I am attracted by a certain official from Luoyang? Besides, if the family has a good reputation, they feel that marrying our family at this time would be a bit of a repayment of favor, so they do not want to marry our family.
So what? Therefore, I came to you to finalize this matter quickly, so as to avoid long nights and endless dreams!"
Having said this, how could people around here still not understand? In fact, many young county officials were filled with resentment at this time. Why did the prefect recruit his son-in-law specifically from the Gongsun family?
And Zhao Bao finally came to his senses, but he couldn't help but point to the shop not far away: "Is it this family that Mother said?"
"Is this also Gongsun's property?" Mrs. Zhao raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Very good! His family is indeed as wealthy as the rumors say... Look, how can you miss such a good son-in-law?"
go?"
"My son knows." Zhao Bao replied helplessly. "I'll find someone to talk to him and let his family act as a matchmaker!"
"No need," Mrs. Zhao said domineeringly. "I came here for no other reason than because I just heard in the official residence that his elders were here, so I came up to call you in person... You will take off your official position now."
Please follow me to propose marriage, and we will finalize the matter with me today! Otherwise, your master will feel uneasy!"
Zhao Bao was stunned, and the officials also looked at him sideways... In his age, this was the first time he saw a woman go to the man's home to propose marriage.
"Here!" After a long stalemate, Governor Zhao finally did not dare to disobey his mother, so he handed over his hands and replied as if he had eaten a fly. "Son, I will go change my clothes right now."
Just like that, Governor Zhao and his family walked off the platform, while everyone on the platform looked at each other...
"Our old lady is really a hero among women." After a long time, the other Sima from Liucheng couldn't help but be the first to speak. "Such a vigorous and resolute act is what I was waiting for when I wanted to go to Gongsun's house to sell a good deal.
Even the wind is too late..."
The others all agreed.
On the other hand, the county's top official, Tian Kai, suddenly couldn't help but sigh: "I think back then, Gongsun Bogui and Gongsun Wenqi were both friendly to me in the county, and they were always unscrupulous in getting along with me... But this is just a couple of days ago.
Years have passed, why have I been so successful one after another? When will I be able to stand out?"
The Tian family is also a popular surname in Youzhou, so when everyone heard this, they either burst into laughter or tried to say a few words, but then they dispersed.
On the other side, Gongsun Xun, who had no idea about this, was still talking about some "confidential matters" with his mother in the house... It turned out that after the mother and son decided to pursue the marriage, Gongsun Xun immediately talked about the process.
The abilities of Pu and Han Dang revealed everything about the former killing three people in a row and the latter shooting Ke Zuitan to death with one arrow, which made Lady Gongsun shocked but she once again thought about the so-called "luxury bodyguard lineup".
However, Aunt Gongsun and her son talked and calculated, but they could only determine that one Donglai Taishi Ci and one Changshan Zhao Yun were barely within reach around their home... However, it was only enough.
It's just a gain, because after thinking about it carefully, I still find it a bit embarrassing. After all, Donglai and Changshan are both large counties. The former has a population of more than 500,000 and the latter has a population of more than 600,000. Under today's information transmission conditions, unless these two
People can take the initiative to show up, otherwise they would never be found.
However, if these two people really take the lead and become known to one or several counties, it seems a bit natural to want to win over people across regions based on Gongsun Xun's current qualifications and status... I don't see you, Cheng.
After all, Pu and Han Dang are fellow villagers. That's it. Now Cheng Pu is at most a guest general, not Gongsun Xun's at all!
Even, Aunt Gongsun has some other concerns. She is afraid that Zhao Yun is still young, and even if he is found early, he will be turned into a half-finished waste like Lou Gui... Wouldn't it be harmful to others?
Has?
Just like that, the mother and son were helpless here, but suddenly they heard a lot of commotion outside the door, and then Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Yue, Aunt Jin, Aunt Quan and others all knocked on the door but failed.
After asking, I found out that it was the entire family of Prefect Zhao who were visiting, and they were already at the street corner outside the store.
"The opportunity has come." Aunt Gongsun quickly put on her glasses and said. "The whole family is here, still in regular clothes. They should come to thank you for saving your life. We won't say anything else. After they finish thanking you, we will propose directly.
...I think it’s 80% likely to be settled!”
Gongsun Xun nodded repeatedly.
In this way, Aunt Gongsun took the lead, while Gongsun Xun and others followed behind consciously. The two families met at the door of a shopping inn that was full of people.
After some greetings and greetings, before being let into the room, Mrs. Gongsun couldn't help but look at the blushing girl holding a kitten in the back. When she nodded slightly, she was about to seriously invite the family into the main hall.
When they were seated, Mrs. Zhao, the oldest and highest-status person here, suddenly took Aunt Gongsun's hand in public: "As early as in Qinghe, I heard from merchants that there was a widowed Aunt Gongsun in western Liaoning who went to raise her son.
I was very impressed by the businessman's work at that time. When I saw the grand scene of this businesshouse today, I realized that it was well-deserved..."
"I don't want to be the old lady's compliment." Aunt Gongsun declined repeatedly, but she couldn't hide the proud look on her face... It's not like she doesn't know how to brag to each other in public. "I also heard about the old lady's sudden appearance when I came here.
The deeds of my godson... are so upright, and coupled with such a great victory in this battle, the old lady will surely be remembered in history."
"Speaking of raising a son." Mrs. Zhao immediately shook her head and said with a smile. "I am not as good as you. My son at such an old age cannot do as much as your son."
Aunt Gongsun was stunned for a moment. Didn't they agree to trade business with each other? You know, there were more than hundreds of people on the surrounding streets, and the face of Prefect Zhao standing behind his mother was already black.
"My son, what are you waiting for?" Upon seeing this, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but turned around and asked.
"Mother, don't you need to go into the house to do this?" Zhao Taishou was embarrassed, but he only received a cold look from his widowed mother.
Therefore, he did not dare to disobey at all, so he had to hurry forward and greet Gongsun Auntie again.
"May I ask Mr. Fu what's important?" Aunt Gongsun was quite puzzled.
"I don't dare..." Governor Zhao was about to speak, but he couldn't help but turned around and said, "Mother, there must be two Gongsun clan boys who rescue you this time. They are both quite suitable. One is called
One is called Gongsun Xun, the other is called Gongsun Fan, both are here...I don’t know..."
At this point, Mrs. Zhao immediately changed her expression: "I only said before that you are not as capable as others when you are twenty, but today I know that when you are forty, others may not be as capable at this time! In your life,
That’s the pattern of two thousand stones!”
Governor Zhao, who was about to be granted the title of Marquis in a few months, was so embarrassed that he wished he could escape right now.
"This..." Aunt Gongsun became more and more confused.
"Don't hide it from Mrs. Gongsun." Mrs. Zhao turned to hold the other party's hand and smiled. "Our Zhao family has raised an ugly girl, we call her Zhao Yun... I wonder if your Wenqi is willing to marry her back as a wife?"
Everyone outside the hospital was shocked, even Mrs. Gongsun was frightened.
"That's her." As she said this, Mrs. Zhao pulled her granddaughter forward and pointed her out to her personally.
It didn't matter to the others, but Lou Gui, who was hiding in the crowd nearby, suddenly woke up and secretly admired Mrs. Zhao's methods... If you pointed it out in public like this, unless you wanted to fall out with the Zhao family and become enemies from now on, you would have to do it on the spot.
Agree. This is just like offending everyone at Lulong Tower that day. It seems unwise, but it actually implies that Gongsun Xun has nothing to do with this place and is the most reliable one... The so-called retreat is the way to advance.
, nothing better than this!
However, Aunt Gongsun, who had dominated Bohai for twenty years, seemed to be stupid at this time. She didn't react for a long time, which made the daughter of the prefect feel even more embarrassed and aggrieved. If she hadn't thrown away the cat when she was saluting just now, I'm afraid she would have thrown it away the next second.
I'm about to lie down on the cat and cry.
Gongsun Xun was extremely anxious and quickly pushed his wife secretly. The latter couldn't help but gasped:
"The old lady is so loving, so there is no need to say anything. It's just that my daughter-in-law's name is so good that it made me confused for a moment and made the old lady laugh!"
"Taizu Queen Zhao Baoyun was a native of Wucheng in the east of Qinghe River. In the past, Zhao Bao, the stepfather of Taizu, the prefect of western Liaoning, was very curious about Taizu and wanted to arrange a marriage, so he told the inner chamber privately. The family members in the inner chamber also felt Taizu's heroic spirit.
, and in memory of his kindness, they all agreed to it. However, Empress Zhao was the only child, and her grandmother loved her very much. Although she wanted to accept her, she kept changing her schedule. She was afraid that something might change, so she admonished her mother and said: "I think of Wenqi's generosity and heroic spirit, I'm afraid
After all, it is not a thing in the pond. If it is delayed again and again, the world will laugh at us for losing a hero." Zhao's mother thought so deeply. At that time, Taizu's widowed mother came to Liucheng, Zhao's mother took the back hand, carrying her son, and her wife
After leaving the official residence in private, he went straight to Taizu's door, talked to the street, and recommended her as his wife. When Grandma and Grandma looked at each other, they were stunned and at a loss. The county spread it, and it became a good story." - "Jiu Yan Shu". Empress
