The courtyard is full of green grass, green bamboos and leaves, and the octagonal pavilion is shaded.
Li Qing was sitting on a chair. There was a military brochure on the stone table in front of him. Several maids in long skirts stood aside. Chang Yuan He Wu and several constables also stood with their hands down.
"The wind and sand in the north are too strong, so with more effort, this book will be full of dust."
He Wu smiled flatteringly and handed the military affairs brochure to Li Qing, asking with a smile on his face.
"Sir, the Xuanfu has refuted the book of meritorious deeds given to Su Lu. Let me tell you, it is not appropriate for him to rashly assume the position since he has no military qualifications. It is normal for the Xuanfu to refute it."
Chang Yuan looked at the booklet in He Wu's hand and frowned.
Li Qing picked up the booklet, looked unhappy, threw it to Chang Yuan and said.
"I'm glad if you refuted it. This guy has caused trouble to me many times and made me become the captain of the patrol camp. I'm not happy about it."
"Old man Xiao took the wrong medicine. I wrote the military affairs brochure like this, and he actually agreed!"
"The Xuan Mansion is really depleted. When I get back, I will write to my father and ask him to replace him with some reliable pillar veterans."
Chang Yuan's face lit up with joy when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said.
"This is also the result of Your Excellency's skillful command and the encirclement and annihilation of the Thule people. The adults in the Xuan Mansion have seen Your Excellency's ability to counsel military affairs, so they will naturally not block Your Excellency's recommendation."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Really?"
Then he smiled brightly, with a smile as bright as a flower. He stood up and took two steps with dignity, and then continued: "I also feel that this is the case. Although the credit belongs to Mr. Su, the Xuanfu doesn't know."
"Generals still have to rely on their military exploits. General Ben Huaihua's previous military exploits were too mediocre. It's all because of my father's lack of support. He didn't give me the right to control the Xuanfu. How can I make achievements? Those old Qiu Ba will naturally look down on me.
This is my general."
When the adults criticized the military affairs of the imperial court, the subordinates did not dare to raise their heads. They looked at their noses and hearts one by one, like an old monk in trance, listening to Li Qing's instructions on the country.
When Su Lu received the official certificate and seal, it was already dark. Lao Chang came in with the military affairs booklet and official seal certificate, put them on the table with a smile, and turned to Su Yun, who was mending old clothes in the cubicle and said
.
"Miss Su Yun, sir, please go to watch the moon together in the evening. Just have dinner there."
Su Yun responded cheerfully: "Sister Qing must have encountered something happy today. There are still many days until the 15th, and you won't be able to enjoy the full moon until the middle of the night."
Lao Chang also had a smile on his face: "It's not that bad. The Xuanfu sent a military affairs brochure, praising the Lord's previous command. This is all thanks to you, Mr. Su."
When he said the next few sentences, Lao Chang was already facing Su Lu.
Su Lu read the brochure, put it on the table, and asked Chang Yuan: "Old Chang, tell me, what kind of official is this Yuhang Xiaowei from the eighth rank, guarding the city patrol camp Guo Yidu in Beiyang County?"
Where is the lieutenant?"
Chang Yuan smiled proudly, pointed at the book with his fingers, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"From Bai Ding to the eighth-rank Imperial Colonel, the imperial court rarely has such favors. This is all due to our lords. My lords had a dispute with Mr. Xiao and others because of your title.
"
Su Lu asked casually.
"Then when will this salary be paid? My home was burned down and I have no place to stay in this county. I still have many relatives waiting for me to make arrangements."
Chang Yuan was unhappy: "Mr. Su, you have to thank my family for this. You can't come here just because of your salary."
"Then you have to lend me some money so I can buy some gifts."
Su Lu looked at Chang Yuan with a smile. It was really uncomfortable to be under someone else's roof. If Chang Yuan could lend him some money, he would definitely buy a yard first.
Chang Yuan took out a broken piece of silver from his sleeve, pointed at Su Lu and said.
"Just have a set of Deshenglou's four-color signature dishes. Your Majesty has quite an appetite, so this can be considered as catering to his taste."
Su Lu took the silver and weighed it: "Old Chang, please take some more. This is too far."
Chang Yuan took the money from his sleeve and asked Su Lu: "What dishes are you going to order? That piece of silver is enough for you to buy a table of good food and a jar of wine."
Su Lu took the money and said with a smile: "Of course it is to buy a house. My sister and my cousin don't have a place to settle. I will pay you back when I get my salary."
Chang Yuan looked puzzled when he heard this: "Captain Guo Yi has a house. On the road we entered the city, the house closest to the city gate building is Captain Guo Yi's house."
"When Luo Jian and Da Beard were there in the past, Da Beard lived there. When they were promoted, this house became vacant."
Su Lu's eyes lit up and he took a look at the badge in his hand. Although it was too dangerous to be a soldier in the cold weapon era, the benefits were still great.
"Let's go, Xiaoyun, don't go to admire the moon now. We've moved our house, so we can't miss you and Lieutenant Li while admiring the moon. The moon won't come out until the middle of the night."
"Su Ping, fat man, come over here quickly, pack your things, and go live in our own house."
Su Lu patted the tables, chairs and benches and said, looking like I want all of them.
Lao Chang looked at Su Lu speechlessly: "Everything in your house is owned by the official. You don't need to buy it yourself. Even if you buy it, you won't be able to take it away when you get promoted."
Su Lu looked disappointed when he heard this: "What a nice mahogany furniture. I'm really giving you an advantage. Let's go, pack your things and take office."
"We have nothing to deal with."
Su Yun looked at his brother with a speechless expression.
Su Ping chuckled and picked up a bright silver spear inserted in the weapon rack by the door. He looked like he couldn't hold the furniture and this gun was mine.
Chang Yuan led the way with a wry smile, leading Su Lu and his party out of Li Mansion.
"Ouch"
At the gate, Su Lu bumped into He Chen who rushed in. Su Lu was knocked three feet away and almost vomited blood.
Touching his chest, Su Lu glared at He Chen. This grandson's cliff was intentional. He almost killed me!
Chang Yuan hurried over and helped Su Lu smooth his chest.
"Lao He really didn't mean it this time. He ran too fast. I'm going to calm you down a bit, but don't be angry. Lao He, what happened to you?"
Warm current flowed into my chest, and my heart and lungs, which were aching from being hit, seemed to be being pressed by warm wind.
Su Lu looked at Chang Yuan in surprise. This grandson had just pushed himself to the point of bleeding. Could that warm current be internal force?
He Chen's chin was almost raised to the sky. He had no consciousness of hurting anyone and spoke in a dry tone.
"Something happened. The wealthy old Dong family in Laodong Village in the western suburbs was kidnapped by bandits from Taohuashan. They wanted five hundred taels of silver to redeem themselves within five days. The county magistrate asked me to come over and ask your Excellency what to do."
Hearing this, Lao Chang urged He Chen: "Human life is at stake, so go quickly."
When He Chen happened to pass by Su Lu, he lowered his voice and said something.
"I'm sorry, Su Xiucai."
Su Lu looked at He Chen's back and asked Chang Yuan.
"Your lord is a princess, right? You all came from the palace, right?"
Chang Yuan closed his eyes, and a cold light shot out from the tiny slits in his eyes. His body was slightly arched, his feet were uneven, and he faced Su Lu. His sharp voice was filled with an intimidating coldness.
"How did you know? Where did you hear it?"
At this time, Chang Yuan was like a tiger staring at its prey. If Su Lu did anything wrong, he would deliver a fatal blow.
