Chang'an is good

Chapter 164 The Duohuo Family

Shen Sanmao nodded: "It was smashed back, and the people in the village smashed it together, and poured feces on them. After all, the villain must keep the prestige given by the girl to do things in the future."

Faced with this rather flavorful description, Chang Suining nodded: "...that's good."

It's just that she didn't dare to think about the situation at that time.

Shen Sanmao wiped away tears: "Don't worry, girl, they were all smashed in the field, and they were not thrown outside the field."

Chang Suining showed admiration: "Very good."

This is the highest state of housekeeping without the fat and water flowing into the fields of outsiders.

Shen Sanmao suppressed her tears, and because she received understanding and encouragement, she said energetically at this time: "Don't worry, girl, this season's villain has gained some experience, and it will get better and better next year!"

Chang Suining smiled and nodded with him.

It is hard to say what the overall situation will be in the coming year, but for now, from planting a seed to watching it slowly grow and fringe, every small step is very important and has its own meaning and usefulness.

"This year's grain harvest is all on the booklet. Apart from the supply to the various places in the mansion, there is still half of it left. Do you want to hoard it or sell it for cash?"

"Store them all." Chang Suining said, "You don't need to give me the credits in this booklet. Replace them with rice grains and store them together."

The harvest on Zhuangzi is more than just field grain.

Hearing that she wanted to stockpile food, although Shen Sanmao was surprised, she agreed without hesitation.

The two talked for another half day before Chang Sui Ning left the farm.

After the carriage entered the city, Chang Suining looked at the direction of the place she most often returned to when she returned to the city through the carved and hollow window, and said casually, "Let's go to Xuan Ce Mansion by the way."

She has been busy with trivial matters these days, and she has not had time to fulfill the agreement with Duan Huo.

The carriage rolled and headed towards Xuan Ce Mansion.

When the chariot and horses stopped, Chang Suining got out of the chariot, he had already changed into a man's robe, changed into a ponytail, and told Xi'er to wait in the chariot.

She didn't want to be too conspicuous when going in and out of Xuan Ce Mansion.

The guards outside Xuance Mansion are often changed. Seeing strangers approaching, the guards on both sides blocked each other with spears in their hands. Su Rong said: "Xuance Mansion is an important place, idlers are not allowed to approach without permission."

This formation was very scary, but the "young man" looked calm, did not speak, only raised his right hand to show a bronze talisman.

Seeing the object, the guards turned their expressions away, retracted the spear, and bowed to one side.

There are guards leading the way, and another guard has already stepped forward to pass the pass.

Chang Suining crossed the threshold of Xuan Ce Mansion, and when the wind blew her face, she seemed to smell a familiar breath, this ray of wind belonging to Xuan Ce Mansion brought pictures of the past, and there was faint laughter from the old days in her ears .

Then, she followed the guard on the road that she could walk without missing a step with her eyes closed, and came to the main hall of Xuan Ce Mansion.

Same as what I saw last time, her Sun Sword is placed in the main hall.

Three sticks of green incense were burning in the incense burner used for offering sacrifices on several cases, half of which had been burned.

Chang Suining looked at the censer that was almost full of ashes, and couldn't help but think, if she was really under the Nine Springs at this time, and received such strong incense all the year round, she probably belonged to a wealthy gentry.

"Chang..." Yuan Xiang's voice came from behind: "Mr. Chang, you are here!"

Chang Suining turned around.

Yuan Xiang bowed his hands and saluted, then grinned and said, "Are you here to see the governor?"

Chang Suining smiled and said, "I'll take a look at Duan Huo."

Yuan Xiang was heartbroken for his family's chief governor, but the warm smile on his face remained undiminished: "My family's chief governor is here at this time."

"If Governor Cui is busy, I won't bother him today, just tell him that I've been here."

She was just here to have a look at the horse, and it would be inappropriate to disturb his official business.

"I'm not busy at the moment!" Yuan Xiang hurriedly said: "It just so happens that the chief governor is at Liu Huo's place right now, so I'll take you there right now!"

Chang Suining nodded when he heard the words.

Yuan Xiang led the way, and met many soldiers from Xuan Ce's government along the way, none of them looked sideways, and never looked too much.

Along the way, he kept winking at the acquaintances until his eyelids cramped, but never received any response from Yuan Xiang, who hated iron for being weak—these people have eyes but don’t know Mount Tai. , Some of them regret it!
Duanhuo was placed alone in a horse garden, when Chang Suining arrived, he was very surprised to see the situation in the courtyard.

In the afternoon sun, the tall young man had his sleeves half rolled up, the front of his robe half tucked around his waist, he was wearing black green boots, and there were two buckets of water by his side, and he was bending over to replace the grenades with a horse brush. Carefully brush and wash the horse's legs.

Seemingly aware of someone coming, Cui Jing subconsciously raised his eyes to look, seeing that it was Chang Suining, he couldn't help being startled.

Chang Suining smiled at him: "Master Cui."

Cui Jing immediately straightened up, still holding the horse brush in his hand, he felt that his image was messed up at this time, and he was unprepared, and felt that his hands and feet had no place to rest for a while.

Yuan Xiang came over, and whispered to his chief governor, "Master Chang, Mrs. Chang is here!"

Cui Jing: "..." Don't you think it's too late for Tongchuan?

Sensing the accusation in the eyes of the chief inspector, Yuan Xiang was a little aggrieved. Mrs. Chang didn't need to tell me when she came here, this was specially confessed by the chief inspector.

Then, from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the wet boots and disheveled robes of the governor of his own family, and suddenly felt suddenly.

Oh, I see, the governor blamed him for not telling him in advance, so that the governor didn't have time to dress up... No, it's dressing up!

It was his miscalculation, so be careful next time!
At this moment, suddenly cold drops of water splashed Yuan Xiang's body and face, and Cui Jing was not spared.

Duohuo excitedly shook the water on his fur, and ran towards Chang Suining.

It gave a gentle and joyful cry, and rubbed its head against Chang Suining's shoulders and neck.

It was wet all over, and quickly wiped her robe wet. Chang Suining leaned back to hide, while stretching out two fingers to push its forehead.

Sensing the master's dislike and resistance, Liao Huo plopped down and rolled on the spot, trying to wipe off the water on his body.

Cui Jing: "..."

Very good, whitewashed.

He was almost wet, but seeing this scene, there was a smile in his eyes.

He put down the horse brush, wiped the water droplets on his face, and walked towards her.

Not far away, two horses poked their heads out, seeing the firecrackers rolling all over the ground, their eyes widened in bewilderment.

Duan Huo felt that he had almost rubbed against each other, so he stood up and shook a few more times, and then barked in the direction of the two horses, and the two horses came jolting over.

Chang Suining looked over curiously, and Cui Jing said from the side: "This is Liu Huo's wife and child."

Seeing Liu Huo leading his wife and children to her, Chang Suining was inexplicably ashamed, for the first time they met, she didn't prepare any gifts.

Lian Huo kept barking, as if introducing something.

The two horses stared at Chang Suining.

Chang Suining looked at them, then fixed his eyes on the obviously youngest horse, nodded and said: "It really looks like a firecracker."

And in terms of size advantage, it is not inferior to Duohuo, it is a rare good horse.

Cui Jing said: "The temper is also very similar to Duohuo, it is a stubborn horse with a temperament, it has just turned three years old, and has not yet recognized its owner."

Chang Suining was a little surprised, and then said: "The horse born in the family can still have such a strong temper. It seems that he was raised by a rich family who has never been taught the dangers of the world."

Cui Jing echoed: "Well, it can be regarded as the son of an official family."

After all, Liuhuo has an official position.

Chang Suining couldn't help but smile, and turned to look at him: "Xuance's mansion is so busy with daily business, Cui Dadu is too busy to take a rest, why do you personally bathe Lianhuo?"

Cui Jing looked at Duo Huo: "This is equivalent to resting."

He is used to staying with the old people and things in Xuan Ce Mansion, and whenever he sees Duo Huo, his heart is always at peace.

Sensing Cui Jing's rare sense of relaxation at the moment, and seeing him raise his hand to touch Liuhuo's neck, Chang Suining also felt that this scene had a sense of tranquility.

"Does that official's son have a name?" She asked casually.

"Yes." Cui Jing's big hand that was caressing Duo Huo did not withdraw, but the movement of his hand was slightly paused, and he turned to look at her: "Return date."

"Return date." Chang Suining read it once, looked at the pony, nodded and said, "A very good name."

For the officers and men of Xuan Ce Mansion, fighting on the battlefield is their destiny, she said: "If the officers and men have a return date, it will be good news."

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, Cui Jing looked at her quietly, and said after a while: "Yes, if there is a return date, it will be good news."

Chang Suining subconsciously turned to look at him.

The girl's eyes were clear, and there was a flash of exploration in her eyes.

Cui Jing withdrew his hand, glanced at Duo Huo who couldn't calm down for a moment, and said, "I'll go back and change first."

Chang Suining withdrew his thoughts and nodded: "Alright, Governor Cui, hurry up, don't catch a cold."

"Okay." Cui Jing responded, and left with Yuan Xiang.

Except for the two servants who were watching from afar, there was no one else in the horse garden. Duo Huo tried to lightly touch Chang Suining's forehead with his head again. Touching each other, he raised his hand and rubbed its neck.

The return date on the side jumped back in amazement when he saw this - how could Dad still stick to others at his age!

As a veteran who has fought in the battlefield for many years, Duan Huo has always been a strict father image in front of his son, now he turned his head and called out to his son, calling him to come forward.

Liu Huo arched his son's neck with his head, and called out to Chang Suining again, as if to signal something.

Chang Suining: "Not too good?"

The first time we met, you were going to send your son for a ride?
Not only did she feel that something was wrong, but she also jumped up unwillingly, like a little lamb with a sloppy head.

Duanhuo raised his front hoof and kicked his son, seeming to be cursing.

——This is a good job to honor the ancestors. Who can get the smoke from the ancestral grave? If it weren't for the title of the family business when it was young, it would be the turn of this rebellious son to inherit it?
——This is a great fortune, other horses have no such chance!

The Niang's mother also came over and seemed to persuade her a few words.

The return date is more honest.

Duanhuo recommended Chang Suining again.

It's really hard to give up the kindness, if she doesn't ride it, it seems that she doesn't give it face, so Chang Suining can only say: "Then I will try?"

Duohuo quickly kicked his son again.

Guiqi flicked his hooves and took two steps forward.

There were no stirrups on it, and no reins on it. Chang Suining supported the horse's back, lifted himself up and jumped up, gently holding its neck.

Unaccustomed to the return date, he shook it twice restlessly, which immediately caused mixed roars from his parents.

Liao Huo ran ahead to lead the way, and supervised his son, turning his head from time to time to threaten and urge him.

Guiqi ran around the horse garden twice unhurriedly with Chang Suining on his back, causing the two servants to stare blankly.

"Then Mr. Xiaolang...what's his background?"

Another person smacked his lips: "It seems that he has saved Lord Duo Huo's life... I am willing to take out my son and give it away."

They have lived with horses for a long time, and they understand the body language of horses to some extent.

After Chang Suining got off the horse, he took the horse brush left by Cui Jing, brushed Duo Huo briefly, and took a soft blanket to wipe it from head to toe.

Liuhuo shook his body refreshedly, consciously regaining the heroic posture of his youth.

Chang Suining patted it on the head with a smile: "Okay, I should go."

Duanhuo turned around and called out, and his wife and children ran forward immediately.

Chang Suining walked a few steps and felt that something was wrong. He saw three horses following behind him. Although there was no burden on his body, there was burden in his eyes.

The family of three seemed to have packed their bags and wanted to go with her.

She looked at Duo Huo: "...you can't go."

Duohuo raised its ears inconceivably—it's not here to catch it!

"Now is not the time." Chang Suining whispered to it, touched its head comfortingly, and promised: "When the time is right, I will come to pick you up."

Although Duan Huo was reluctant to give up, he still regarded her words as military orders, so he had no choice but to stand where he was and watch the girl leave.

When Chang Suining was about to walk out of the horse garden, he looked back, and saw that Liao Huo was still looking at her, seeing her turn around, seemed to have hope again, and stepped on the ground with his front hoof expectantly.

Chang Suining didn't dare to look into its eagerly expecting eyes, turned his head and left here.

On the way, she met Cui Jing who came back from changing clothes.

"Are you going back now?" Cui Jing asked.

Chang Suining: "Well, it's getting late."

Cui Jing went to the front yard with her.

On the way, Chang Suining seriously thought about the possibility of asking Cui Jing for a firestorm, but in the end he gave up.

First of all, Liao Huo has military merits and is old, she has no suitable reason to use as an excuse, and speaking rashly is too weird, which will attract suspicion.

Secondly, her future is uncertain at this time, bringing the aged Duohuo with her is not as safe and comfortable as letting Duohuo stay in Xuance Mansion for the elderly.

When she is still in Beijing, she should come and see it frequently.

Once conditions permit in the future, she will immediately try to bring Duo Huo back to her side, she hopes that there will be such a day.

"The money to rebuild the border defense in the north is about to come down." Cui Jing said to her as they walked.

Chang Suining came back to his senses, and immediately said: "It's very good."

"But the transfer of money is only half of what I asked for." Cui Jing said: "Although there are still deficiencies, this matter should not be delayed any longer. I will lead the army to the northern border first, and then find other ways to urge the court and the Ministry of Households to do the rest. May add."

Chang Suining nodded. I am afraid that he did not know how to win this half, and the Dasheng treasury is not optimistic.

She looked at Cui Jing: "Then when do you plan to leave?"

"After worshiping the ancestors in Chongyang." Cui Jing said: "I will go to the imperial mausoleum with the saint to worship the ancestors in three days, will you go with me?"

Many officials and family members will go with them on the ancestor worship trip, but Chang Kuo is not in Beijing now, so there is a choice for the Chang family brothers and sisters to go with them.

The ancestor worship needs to be prepared in advance, Chang Suian is now in the Xuan Ce camp, it should be too late to return.

Chang Suining: "I will not accompany you to worship the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum. I have made an appointment with Mrs. Duan to go to Chongyue Changgong Princess's Mansion to offer sacrifices on the day of Chongyang. Mrs. Duan has reported this matter to the saint in advance and has already obtained the saint's permission."

Cui Jing hesitated for half a step, and nodded after a while: "Alright."

While the two were talking, they had come to the front yard.

At this time, under the guidance of a guard, Ming Luo in official uniform came towards him with a maid.

　Good night everyone (づ￣3￣)づ
