meet again

Chapter 549 Five years (two)

That night, the cooks were busy and roasted four legs of lamb.

Half a child, eat poor old man.The eldest Fang Dalang is 11 years old, and the youngest Cui Sanlang is four years old.Eleven children, big and small, add up.The children gathered together, making a lot of noise and having a particularly good appetite.

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing and sighed: "It's really a good thing for the children to play and practice martial arts together like this. There is only one regret."

Song Shi sighed and continued: "There are too many boys and too few girls."

Feng Shaojun smiled slightly: "My third sister-in-law and I both have a son and a daughter, so it's no wonder we are young."

Isn't it?Feng Shaojun had Shen Xu and Shen Hao, and Lei Xiaoxue gave birth to Shen Miao and Shen Yu.Mrs. Song gave birth to three sons one after another, Mrs. Li gave birth to four boys, but no daughter.

No matter how good the son is, it is not surprising that he has many births.The two of them are rare daughters.Look at Shen Miao, her bright eyes and white teeth are heroic, she is already the embryo of a beauty at ten years old.

Look at Shen Hao again, his eyes are picturesque, delicate and soft, sweet and pleasant.The petite appearance of snuggling in Feng Shaojun's arms can melt people's hearts.

Li Shi was secretly thinking that among the four sons in the family, Da Lang had liked Shen Miao since childhood, and after two or three years, he had to talk to Lei Xiaoxue first.Such a good daughter-in-law cannot be snatched away by others.

Shen Hao is younger, only five years old.In the future, Erlang, Saburo, and Shiro at home can choose at will!
As everyone knows, Song also has the same idea in his heart.

The children are still young, and they are all at the age of ignorance and fun, and they have not yet reached the age of first love.It's too early to propose marriage.However, it doesn't hurt to talk to my cousin in private.There are three brothers in the Cui family, Dalang is older, and Erlang Saburo is about the same age as Shen Hao.When the time comes, it's easy to choose with Shen!

Of course, there are not only roast lamb legs, but also various roasted vegetarian dishes, as well as a pot of hot mutton soup and soft noodles.

After a meal, everyone ate to their hearts' content.

After dinner, serve two plates of fresh melons and fruits to relieve the greasiness.

Lei Xiaoxue said with a smile: "When I came to the border town from the capital, I still murmured in my heart that I was afraid that I would not adapt to the climate and food here. After a few years, I fell in love with the flavor of the border town."

"Eating meat with big mouthfuls and drinking soup in big bowls. It fits the temperament of the third sister-in-law." Feng Shaojun joked with a smile.

Everyone was happy.

Lei Xiaoxue has a different temperament from ordinary women. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she also loves to dance with knives and guns when she grows up.After marrying into Shen's family, her mother-in-law, Dafeng, has a friendly temperament and doesn't restrict her.However, as a daughter-in-law, you can't go out every day, it's still a bit boring.

When she arrived in the border town, Lei Xiaoxue was like a horse that had lost its rein, and often rode out.The road is uneven, and he is never soft when it is time to make a move.In addition, Lei Xiaoxue bought dozens of abandoned girls and taught them martial arts.Over the past few years, the girl has indeed been trained to be outstanding.

As soon as Lei Xiaoxue went out, there were maids who knew martial arts behind her, which was also a unique scenery in the border town.

Lei Xiaoxue was not annoyed when she was teased, instead she teased Feng Shaojun: "Don't always blame me. Don't you often go out and open a restaurant and tea shop, how is it doing? How much money did you lose?"

Feng Shaojun replied slowly: "A few years ago, I lost some money, but this year I have already started to make money. When Shen Xu and Shen Hao grow up in the future, half of them will be married to Shen Xu, and the other half will be used as a dowry for Shen Hao."

Lei Xiaoxue was not to be outdone: "I don't have the ability to earn money. However, I have trained dozens of maids who are good at martial arts. In the future, it will be divided into two, and Shen Miao and Shen Yu will be given two."

Feng Shaojun answered nonchalantly: "Yes, yes. You can beat the uncle, and you can also bully the daughter-in-law."

Lei Xiaoxue: "..."

Feng Shaojun has a sharp tongue, she can't fight well.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Song covered their mouths together and laughed, watching the pair of sisters-in-law play tricks.

At this moment, Chi Xiao, who had been promoted to be a housekeeper, hurried over and reported to Feng Shaojun in a low voice: "Madam Qi, the general sent a letter from home."

Feng Shaojun immediately asked, "Where is the letter?"

Chi Xiao took out the letter from his sleeve and gave it to the master.

Mrs. Li and the others stood up and said goodbye tactfully, and took their children home.Shen Xu, Shen Hao, who played all night, was taken to sleep by Mrs. Xu.

Feng Shaojun sat by the candlelight and quickly opened the letter.

……

The frontier army built a new barracks five years ago, and Shen You led a group of generals and five thousand cavalry into the new barracks.In the next two years, recruits were recruited one after another, a total of [-] cavalry.

In order to train this cavalry, the court has to spend more than 200 million taels of military pay every year.Shen You felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, eating, living, and training with the cavalry every day, which consumed countless efforts.

Recruits who have never been in battle and have not seen blood cannot be called cavalry.In the past two years, Shen You led the soldiers out of the customs several times and wiped out many Tartar tribes.It can be regarded as training troops while killing the enemy.

Two months ago, scouts in the army detected the whereabouts of a Tazi tribe.This tribe has about [-] cavalry, plus the old and weak, women and children, and has a population of nearly [-].Tartars, men, women, young and old, can fight on horseback.To wipe out such a tribe, at least [-] cavalry are needed.

Shen You ordered [-] cavalry and set off with a month's worth of rations.

The cavalry sneaked into the vast grassland outside the pass, and their whereabouts were uncertain, so logistical supplies were a big problem.Every time you go out of the customs, you need to fight to support the battle.After annihilating a tribe, there will be enough horses and food.All the young and strong were killed, leaving only women, children and the elderly as captives.Thinking about the bloody deeds that the Tartars did to the people of Daqi back then, Shen You's heart became colder and colder.

In the past two years, the name of the mighty general has resounded outside the pass.The limelight even overshadowed General Meng.

General Meng was quite tolerant, never jealous or dissatisfied, and took the initiative to write a memorial for Shen You to ask for credit.

Over the past few years, Shen You and General Meng got along very well.

Compared with Shen You's magnificence, little is known about what Feng Shaojun did secretly.

For example, in the past five years, the number of spies under her command has tripled, and many of them were secretly sent outside the customs to sneak into various tribes as secret sentries as Han slaves.

Shen You was able to accurately track down the enemy's tracks on the vast grassland, most of which was due to Feng Shaojun's credit.

Of course Emperor Qing'an was aware of these achievements, but it was just inconvenient to reward Feng Shaojun.Shen You has grown from a second-rank mighty general at a young age, so it is not easy to reward him again.So it was awarded to Shen Xu, who is already a thousand households at a young age.In the future, when Shen Xu grows up and enters the military camp, his starting point will be a rank five general.

The soft light fell on the letter paper.

"...We wiped out this tribe, won a big victory, and captured more than 6000 horses, and thousands of cattle and sheep. There are more than 2000 prisoners. It can be said that we have gained a lot."

"We are already on our way back. We will be together within ten days."
