Eleven Niang's worries are not unreasonable.

When Xu Lingyi proposed that Xu Sijin go to Shiyang Baihu Office, Xu Sijin's attitude was quite indifferent.

On the way to prepare for the private mine, he encountered many difficulties, but in the end he couldn't overcome them one by one. His father asked him to go to the health center to help him develop his temperament.

Isn't he considered a man of kindness?

He wrote back to Xu Lingyi and said that the affairs of the silver mine had just been straightened out, but the settlement of the money had not yet begun. His share was okay, but King Yong had to take it seriously. Wait until he razed thousands of households. So it won't be too late to go after the line between Pu'an Wei, Gong Dongning and King Yong is straightened out.

The disapproval jumped out on the page.

Xu Lingyi smiled and wrote back to him: This hundred households are under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan General Military. The Sichuan General Ding Zhi and I are at odds. He is over sixty years old and can take up an official position at any time. He does not buy anyone's face. He is not only arrogant and arrogant. He is big, and domineering, so you might as well not go, lest he catch some pigtails, which I can't reach. King Yong and Princess Jiangdu are the same mother of the emperor, and the emperor values ​​​​it very much. Because of Princess Jiangdu, the emperor even ignored the court order, I want you to go to Nanjing to command Ren Tongzhi. You have to take care of things for King Yong and Duke Jiangdu. If things are done well, your future will be bright.

Xu Sijin was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time: If I just want to make a career, why not come to the guard station instead of going to the palace to work for Prince Shun. With my methods, I'm afraid I will be promoted faster. I'm just a small person. Isn't Shiyang Baihusuo just a Ding Zhi who doesn't give face to his father? Isn't it just that there are some messy relationships left that haven't been straightened out? Look at me.

That night I wrote back to Xu Lingyi: I will go to Shiyang right away.

Xu Lingyi took the letter and smiled slightly. He did not tell Eleven Niang what he said specifically, but only told her the result: I asked him to go to Shiyang Baihu Station without alerting the Sichuan General Soldier, and asked a Qianhu to help arrange it. Qianhu doesn’t know Brother Jin’s identity either. This time, it’s up to him.

If Eleven Niang's heart was always hanging in the past, seeing that he could open a silver mine, she was relieved. She has half the ability. Even if something happens, self-protection is probably not a problem. Now she just needs to practice.

She wrote a letter asking Xu Sijin to guard against arrogance, calm down, and not to be careless and lose Jingzhou. Xu Sijin was obedient, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.

Chang'an stayed in Pingyi, and he went to Shiyang alone. He was neither arrogant nor humble, generous and generous, and soon the old soldiers from hundreds of families came together. Although he had no family property, he was talented, smart, and not A few people asked him if he was married and wanted to attract a bride.

Xu Sijin couldn't help but feel a little proud.

These people didn't fancy him because of his status.

But he was also afraid of offending others, so he hurriedly said that he had been engaged since he was a child, and he postponed it because he had no money to get married. Despite this, some people suggested that he settled in Shiyang and did not need to return to his hometown. In this way, the marriage would naturally be It's settled.

Xu Sijin was a little dumbfounded, his thoughts were all on Pingyi, and Chang'an also frequently walked between Pingyi and Shiyang.

At this time, something happened that had a profound impact on Xu Sijin.

The food and military pay for the soldiers recruited by Baihu in Shiyang came from the military fields. The soldiers trained for six days and farmed for six days. There were four cattle in Baihu. When it was Xu Sijin's turn to herd the cattle, he lay on the slope to bask in the sun. , when he got up after taking a nap, the cows grazing leisurely on the slope were gone. If those people didn't dare to kill the cows, even if he found the cows, they would be four dead cows.

Hundreds of households in Shiyang were very angry.

But the cow thief shouted: I was just joking with him

just kidding

Why didn't Baihu stand up when the whole army wanted to beat him with thirty army sticks? Why didn't Baihu stand up when he left Kaiyang after patting his chest and saying that he couldn't find any cattle within three days?

We were all from the same military camp. The cow was found again, and the one who stole the cow was beaten with ten army sticks.

Xu Sijin fell into deep thought.

His opponent was not just a soldier, but a hundred or a thousand households. I thought that he had encountered such a thing during the Pingyi period, but he could resolve it easily. How could he end up in a ditch when he arrived in Shiyang?

Ultimately, it was because he didn't take Shiyang's affairs to heart.

Xu Sijin stood on the slope, watching the sunset disappear into the sky, then turned back to his small earthen house, calmed down and wrote a letter to his father discussing the Battle of Songpan Prefecture that happened thirty years ago.

This is a late letter.

As early as the silver mines began to produce silver, Xu Sijin no longer seriously discussed with Xu Lingyi what happened in the famous battle in history, which caused his son to change.

Xu Lingyi was very happy and wanted to send someone to Shiyang to inquire about it. He thought for a long time.

He still gave up.

After carrying him for so long, it's time to let go.

There are some things that Xu Sijin needs to face by himself.

Her son's letter gradually became more meaningful than the perfunctory one at first, and Eleven Niang also felt the changes in Xu Sijin.

She happily asked Xu Lingyi: Who is taking care of the silver mine in Pingyi?

Xu Lingyi was surprised.

Eleven Niang pretended to disappear and took off her hairpin calmly in front of the camera: Chang'an is not young anymore. She has been running around with Brother Jin all these years, and her marriage has also been delayed. I asked Qiu Ju if she had anyone she liked.

She always said that she would let me make the decision for Chang'an. I looked at it and found that in terms of character and appearance, Brother Jin was the cherry in the house. Moreover, she was able to hold her breath and calm down, guarding the house for Brother Jin.

, those who cut window grilles and make needlework never move around. From now on, Chang'an will go out with brother Jin and don't have to worry about things at home. What do you think?

Is his wife protesting that he is hiding something from her?

It's up to you to decide these things. Xu Lingyi smiled and sat on the embroidered pier next to the mirror. He put his arm around her shoulders and whispered, "Ask me what I'm doing. I don't know who Cherry is." She gently held a strand of hair in her hand and wrapped it around her.

Fingertips.

Eleven Niang turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Xu Lingyi laughed loudly.

Eleven Niang asked Xu Siyu: In September, the emperor will open Enke. How sure is he that he will really get a Jinshi?

My eldest brother has only been in Huguang for a few years and has already become the prefect.

Although Zichun was not promoted, no one from the official department gave a thumbs up when he mentioned it. Xu Lingyi smiled and said, I think he did a good job there, so don't worry about these things. Then he asked Brother Sheng

The marriage is coming: On what date is it set? Sheng's brother's daughter-in-law is the daughter of Qian Ming's classmate, her surname is Huang, and her father is a magistrate in Lintong. The two families had made a small decision last year, but because of the national mourning, they simply postponed it to

This year.

It’s set for October 14th.

Xu Lingyi sounded a little surprised.

Eleven Niang explained: Fifth sister wanted to hold a banquet in Wendeng, so she set the date for the second half of the year.

Didn't she think Wendeng was not good? Xu Lingyi said with a smile, Zichun invited her several times but she was unwilling to go. She didn't expect to give Zichun face like this this time.

Eleven Niang didn’t want to say more.

Wuniang felt that Wendeng was not good, so she lived in Yanjing for many years. Although Yanjing was good, there were only relatives like them. Although Wendeng was far away, Qian Ming was the parent official there. No matter how far away the relatives were, this gift should always be followed. The parent official

But it's different. If you meet someone, you have to be polite. If you don't meet them, you don't have to follow them. Otherwise, Wu Niang won't go to Wendeng. Wu Sister will take Brother Sheng and Sister Xi to Wendeng in the next few days. She

He said with a smile, the fourth sister and the twelfth sister and I discussed it and wanted to send the gifts as early as possible. In this way, they would have more money in their hands, and it would be more convenient to buy things when they arrived in Wendeng. Then the two of them discussed the gifts.

The next day Eleven Niang and Si Niang and Twelve Niang went to Sixiang Hutong.

Wu Niang is packing things.

All her usual things were still in their original places, and there were only five or six boxes and cages containing her changes of clothes.

Seeing them coming, Wu Niang smiled and welcomed them into the inner room: Brother Sheng will go back to Yichun, Sichuan next year to take the college examination. It will be troublesome to come back and forth. I asked him to go back to Sichuan directly from Wendeng. After the New Year,

I will take my new wife to meet her again.

Then we would like to congratulate Brother Sheng in advance on being able to pass the examination as a scholar. Twelve Niang said with a genuine smile.

Her brother-in-law passed the Jinshi exam last year, and also passed the Shujishi exam. If he can be a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. Because Wang Ze interrupted his studies midway, the two of them paid close attention to their children's schoolwork, and they often talked about who they liked to talk about.

Which family members passed the scholar examination, which family members won the imperial examination, and so on.

Wu Niang smiled and thanked her.

Someone comes in to serve tea.

Fourth Niang winked at Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang pretended not to see it.

The Twelfth Mother was stunned and looked at the person serving tea: Isn't this a burning peach?

Yes, Wu Niang responded quickly, Brother Sheng is getting married, and there are many things at home, so I will ask Zhuo Tao to come back and help me. After saying that, she waved to Zhuo Tao like a fly, you go down.

Help Brother Sheng pack his things. Yulan will serve him here.

Zhuotao chuckled and said: They were all busy helping my wife pack the boxes and cages. I frowned when I saw the lack of manpower.

Zhuotao quickly stopped talking, bowed his knees and retreated.

The Twelve Niang looked towards the Eleven Niang and saw the Eleven Niang lowering her eyelids and drinking tea with a calm look. She also followed her example and took a sip of tea with her head lowered, and talked to the Fifth Niang about Brother Sheng.

After studying, when I left home, I followed Eleven Niang to the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

Eleventh sister, what is going on? Twelfth Niang said, Fifth Niang did not go to Wendeng, but now she has called Zhuo Tao back. Who is serving the fifth brother-in-law? Did he send someone over? Why is Fifth Sister so confused?

One more person means one more thing to do. Isn’t this adding trouble to yourself?

I don’t know very well either. Eleven Niang smiled bitterly, and she only knew that the fifth sister left Zhuotao behind in Wendeng. Somehow, the fifth brother-in-law took Zhuotao’s brother, Zhao Sheng, who used to work as an accountant in our house, with him.

He became a money and grain master. I heard from people that Zhao Sheng was so powerful that he could be half as good as the fifth brother-in-law in Wendeng.
