Fu Song

Chapter 121 Change
The family members of the Guangrui army, escorted by two infantry battalions led by Wang Jun, arrived at Shentangbao on the day when the snow fell the heaviest.

Originally, Shentangbao was already very lively, but tens of thousands of people came all of a sudden, and it suddenly seemed overcrowded.

Whether it is Xiao Ding or Xiao Cheng, they are all too busy to settle down one by one. Even if they have made the most perfect plan in advance, when things come to an end, there are still many unexpected things. things happen.

However, Luo Gang, the first assistant, took off his post at this time, and didn't bother to care about these things, but put all his energy on welcoming Gao Qi, Xiao Qi and Xiao Jing.

After entering the courtyard, Luo Gang carefully asked all the outsiders to retreat. In the entire courtyard, except for a few of them, the rest were the family members brought by Gao Qi.

Only then did Gao Qi and Xiao Qi remove the curtain fence.

"Sister-in-law, I have been staring at this three-compartment big tile-roofed house from the beginning to the end. Don't think it's made of adobe on the outside, but it's completely made of green bricks on the inside. The main thing is to wrap the outside with adobe. It was the old man here who said that the adobe house is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is actually much better than ordinary blue brick houses! I asked Chongwen again, and he also said the same, and let me stare at the mason, who was building the brick house Sometimes, it was a sandwich, and there was still a big gap between the two layers of bricks, and it would be even better after another layer of adobe was wrapped outside."

"Sanlang has a heart!" Gao Qi smiled and nodded at Luo Gang.

Luo Gang chuckled: "Sister-in-law, shouldn't this be the way it should be! Look over here, the third lady said that you like tinkering with flowers and plants the most, so I specially made a piece of land here and made it into a flower bed. What are the precious things in the future?" Flowers and plants can be transplanted directly. There is no need to worry about the water, I directly brought in mountain spring water from the mountain behind, walked around this small garden and then went out through the culvert.”

"Third brother, did this red plum grow here?" Xiao Qi suddenly pointed to a corner of the garden where a red plum was in full bloom and asked.

"No, I found this in the mountains, and then I took someone to dig him up and transplanted him here. Chongwen also said that I would definitely not be able to grow it. Look how energetic he is now!" Luo Gang said.

Xiao Qi rolled her eyes: "Second elder brother said that you can't grow it, so you definitely can't grow it."

Luo Gang was furious: "Xiao Chongwen is a human being but not a god, why should he say that if I can't grow it, I can't grow it?"

Xiao Qi snorted coldly: "I dare not say anything else, anyway, I saw when the gardener at home transplanted the trees, he cut down a good tree so that there were only a few trunks left, but in the end these trees were It re-germinated and grew new branches, you, look at Xuan!"

"Okay, third sister, I'll know if I can work or not in next spring, and it's still pretty good now." Gao Qi smiled and said, "Luo Sanlang really has a heart. By the way, Luo Sanlang, I want to Change this garden!"

"I can change it as my sister-in-law says, and I'll find someone to do it right away!" Luo Gang patted his chest and said.

"I won't grow any flowers here anymore, I will raise some chickens, ducks and geese here." Gao Qi said slowly.

Luo Gang was a little dazed, and looked at Gao Qi silently for a while.

This lady from a real aristocratic family, with ten fingers not in the sun, now wants to raise chickens, ducks, geese or something?This very interesting garden made by myself will be called by chickens and ducks in the future?Will there be a shed to raise a pig in the future?

Looking at Gao Qi, a man with a turban on his head and a big dustpan in both hands, filled with chopped leaves and mixed grains, suddenly flashed in his mind. Then at this end, chickens, ducks, and geese swarmed over, and a few big fat pigs also clung to the railing, sticking out their long tongues and humming.

He shivered violently.

"Third brother, what are you thinking? Did you hear what sister-in-law said to you?" Xiao Qi said angrily.

"I heard it, I heard it!" Luo Gang came back to his senses, "Sister-in-law, you have never done these things before, besides, even if you leave Bianliang and come to this poor Shentangbao, you are also Madam Commander, why do you need to do this!"

Gao Qi smiled, "Sanlang, in the past, I would never have thought that I would do these things. But along the way, I have a lot of emotions! Do you know that there are some women in the team who are carried by cages? Some chickens and ducks are on their way. No matter how hard and tiring they are camping every day, they still have to find some wild vegetables and chop them up to feed these chickens and ducks! I asked them, and they said, these chickens and ducks, as long as they reach the ground, they will bloom in spring. As soon as it warms up, eggs can be laid, and if the chicks are re-hatched, it will take several months to lay eggs!"

"What does this have to do with you?" Luo Gang wondered.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Gao Qi said softly: "Your eldest brother always spends all his money in the army, and these family members in the army station are desperately trying to earn more money! In the future, your eldest brother is the leader of those soldiers, am I not the leader of these families? I want to be with them too, and I can earn a little bit!"

"This, this is too hard, sister-in-law?"

"The husband sings and the wife follows, what's the hard work!" Gao Qi said: "I used to be able to use the dowry to subsidize some, and I was also happy in my heart, but now it's not possible. This matter has even involved King Jing. From now on, I can only do it." Do something like this to help your brother."

Luo Gang sighed.

"Okay, as long as you like it, sister-in-law, I'll change it for you later. I, I just think..."

"What do you think? Is it possible that I can't do these jobs?" Gao Qi walked into the room with a smile.

Xiao Qi followed and walked inside, and after a few steps, she turned around and said, "Third Brother, let me tell you, along the way, my sister-in-law also learned how to spin yarn from those people. It was made into threads one by one, and I even wove a scarf for my elder brother!"

Luo Gang murmured: "No wonder I just saw that sister-in-law's hand is swollen like a carrot head."

Xiao Qi looked at Luo Gang for a while, then suddenly reached into the sleeve, took out two things, and threw them to Luo Gang, "I wove these, the wool was spun by my sister-in-law, but the gloves were woven by me stitch by stitch. "

Touching the soft glove in his hand, Luo Gang was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, third sister!"

The settlement where the family members live is similar to when they were in Tianmenzhai. However, when they were in Tianmenzhai, there was a plain around them, but here there are rolling mountains. The sound is hard to hear, and the straight-line distance seems not far away, but it takes a long time to really walk.

But now, the captives of the Wei Ming clan are desperately building roads between these five settlements. Xiao Ding's requirements are slightly lower than those in Tianmen Village. He requires that within half an hour, the cavalry can attack any A reclamation point reacts to things.

"Master Zhang, how about the location of the school I found for you?" Xiao Cheng stood in front of Zhang Yuan and said with a smile: "Look ahead, two big rivers merge into one and rush down, and then look around , The high mountains stretch endlessly like a natural barrier, and then look at the place where we are staying, and the surrounding settlements can be seen at a glance, and even Shentangbao is far away."

Walking under the two big trees, he pointed to the bluestone slab under the tree: "Master Zhang, after teaching, wouldn't it be nice to carry a jug of wine, barefoot and hairless, and look up at the starry sky?"

"It's really not bad." Zhang Yuan, who is in his early forties, is not well-known, unlike Xiao Cheng's teacher, Master Cen, who is famous all over the world. He is just an ordinary scholar who has tried and failed. I went to catch up for the exam again, and after a few failed attempts, I settled in Tianmenzhai and became a teacher there.

The soldiers at the reclamation point are willing to send their children to study, and they don't expect these children to learn anything, as long as they are not blind.Often after studying for two or three years, they grow up to be half a child, and then leave school to help the family earn money.

Zhang Yuan was never too demanding, but whenever someone came, he would teach him wholeheartedly.Anyway, in addition to Shu Xiu given by the soldiers, Xiao Ding also gave Zhang Yuan another salary.

There are few scholars in the army, and sometimes there are a lot of official documents, so Xiao Ding will ask Zhang Yuan to help them deal with them.

Zhang Yuan is very capable in this respect, but Xiao Ding wanted to directly ask him to be an official in charge of document exchange such as the military master Bo many times, but Zhang Yuan refused very simply.

He would rather teach the students to simply read and count, rather than go to Xiao Ding to be an official.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Cheng did not expect that Zhang Yuan would also come during this great migration.But when the relocation plan was just launched, Zhang Yuan came to his door and clearly expressed his willingness to continue teaching in Shaanxi.

For this, Xiao Ding was naturally eager.It is not so easy to find a person with good knowledge to come to the army to teach those children to read and write.Zhang Yuan is an acquaintance, and everyone knows the basics. It is naturally best if he is willing to come.

Thus, there is the present school.

"Children come to school, it's farther away!" Zhang Yuan said.

"It's just a good time for the children to exercise their leg strength!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

"I see Erlang, what do you mean by the student dormitory written on the houses over there? No students have stayed overnight in the school before?"

"There will be in the future." Xiao Cheng said: "Master, we can't just focus on the children of our Guangrui Army in the future. Maybe there will be many people in Hengshan who will send their children to you to study. They always I can’t go home every day, so I built these dormitories.”

"I don't have time to worry about their eating and drinking!" Zhang Yuan said.

"Where do you dare to work, sir?" Xiao Cheng said: "Of course someone will be arranged to do it. Sir, just teach."

"Master Zhang, otherwise, you can leave the job of teaching to others. In Dingbian Town, you can always find two scholars who are willing to come to us. You can give more money! You should come to the army to help I'll handle some paperwork, so please help me with some official duties! I really admire your level." Xiao Ding said full of expectation.

Zhang Yuan chuckled: "Commander Xiao, when your official is older, I might be tempted. Now, let me have fun with the children!"
