Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 81 The Hou Mansion Prepares Itinerary
Pingyang County City,

As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the land outside the pass, and the sky is reddened by the sunset glow, which is so gorgeous and shocking.

Luoyunhou Mansion,

After a busy day of hustle and bustle, the Hou Mansion gradually quieted down.

Sitting in the hall, Zhang Jinyu was silent for a long time, thinking of her past, she used to do odd jobs desperately for a little money, even though she was so hardworking, the money she earned was just enough for food and clothing, not a little bit of good food.

Now the people under Dawu are not, they are even desperate for a little money, for the country, for Dawu, to put it bluntly, it is not for the stomach of their own family.

Especially in the current era of farming and farming dependent on the sky, Zhang Jinyu also feels a heavy responsibility in his heart when he sees the people who work hard every day, whether they can eat well or wear clothes. It is only in this era that people feel powerless.

There is also a feudal society, where the imperial power is really greater than the sky, but except for myself who does not have this view, other people seem to be deeply rooted in this concept, and they still need to figure it out slowly.

After a while, the generals of the Hou Mansion arrived one after another, looking at the young figures one by one, so energetic, this is confidence.

Today, Zhang Jinyu called all his confidants and generals to gather together and arrange specific tasks, so that he was duty-bound to go to the capital to meet the heroes.

"Brother, why are you looking for us? The notification is so urgent!"

Zhang Junying saw that her elder brother had brought all the elder brothers here and didn't know what happened, so she hurriedly asked.

"Sit down, there are no rules. From today onwards, they are all people of status. In the future, pay more attention to your words and deeds outside, and don't leave any excuses for outsiders."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

After Zhang Junying took the lead in agreeing, she sat there obediently and did not move.

"Two things, arrange the city guards of each city and the chief general who guards the city, listen carefully."

Zhang Jinyu gave orders without any nonsense, first of all, Pingyun City, Gu Ning served as the city guard, Zhang Jiawu and Zhang Jiawen served as the chief and deputy generals with 3 infantry and 1 cavalry.

Zhang Wenqing served as the guard of Pingliao City, and Zhang Wenyuan served as the guard of the city and led the 4 infantry.

In Pingyao City, Zhang Mingzhe served as the infantry defender, and Zhang Yuanpeng served as the cavalry defender with 2 infantry and 2 cavalry.

In Pingyang City, Zhang Junying served as General Bei, and Zhang Xiaolin served as Deputy General with 6 infantry and 4 cavalry.

Duan Shouyuan served as the commander of the big battalion outside the city with 1 cavalry, Ning Yuan served as the commander of the Marquis Mansion and commanded 15 cavalry in the old battalion, and was responsible for delivering information.

"Brother, you take Yongbyon and the cavalry to the capital alone."

Zhang Junying is not willing anymore, she also wants to go to the capital to have fun, she has not been to the capital yet, I heard that the beauties in the capital are famous all over the world.

"Zhang Junying, you bastard, the purpose of staying here is to take good care of the family, and report immediately when there is something to do. Ning Bian returned and passed the intelligence secret guard to Ning Yuan, and taught him how to operate. The city guards in Pingyang and Pingyao are outsiders, you don't want to Interfering in political affairs is enough to keep an eye on the army, and Zhang Yuanpeng is responsible for catching smuggling in Pingyao. Keep an eye on it!"

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, he will definitely stare at them to death."

Zhang Yuanpeng patted his chest and replied.

"Junying, it may take a long time to go to Beijing this time, and the time to come back is short. First, we must defend the territory well, and second, we must train more troops. After the division of troops, each go to the camp outside the city to collect horses, and leave the original court horse equipment. The government issued cavalry equipment together, and told Duan Shouyuan to stay in the camp outside the city."

"Yes, brother! Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you in Pingyang, and I'll cut anyone who dares to reach out."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, old brothers."

After Zhang Jinyu finished explaining, he asked them to disperse and lead the army to change their outfits, and set off when they were ready.

Ningbian also explained to Ningyuan the matter of staying behind in the Hou's mansion, and planned to let him lead [-] old battalion troops to station in Pingyang and take care of the old nest.

In the backyard of the Hou Mansion, Lan Shu'er and Lan Yue'er were also packing up their clothes, sorting out the books and storing them in the warehouse, and the maids were going in and out of Dongyun Building to sort out their clothes.

Lan Shuer suddenly asked;
"Ma'am, the Hou Mansion still needs someone to take care of it, who do you think is suitable to keep?"

Mrs. Wang's lazy voice sounded, looking at Lan Shu'er's uneasy eyes, she smiled and said,
"No, the basement is locked, and the old guard Zhang Qi will lead the troops to guard the Hou Mansion. You two will go to the capital with me, and our mothers will also go to meet those rich and noble ladies. I really want to see those people face."

"Those people would never admit to being jealous of you."

Lan Yueer echoed from the side.

"That's right, it's just a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. Where's Master Hou?"

"Go back to Madam, I'm still in a meeting with the general in front."

Lan Shu'er replied, she was relieved when she heard the old lady said to go.

"Well, it's time to make good arrangements. This trip will take a long time, and I don't know how many monsters and monsters will want to mix sand here."

"Don't worry, old lady, you will die as many as you come."

"Take it easy, now is not the time, just tell the people below to guard the house, and if someone comes, just watch it, if you don't have eyes, it's too out of line to do it, and find outsiders to do it. Don't let the Hou Mansion Difficult."

"Understood madam! I will explain."

Lan Shuer responded normally.

Zhang Jinyu asked the generals to disperse after the previous explanation, and ordered Ningbian to hand over the secret guard intelligence network to Ningyuan as soon as possible, and also notified the guards of the Hou Mansion to form two teams. From then on, there will be two Marquis in the capital and Pingyang House, but I am not sure how to bring people.

Just as he was about to get up, there was a hearty laugh from outside the door. It turned out that Fatty Shen had come again, and he sat down again, ordering his servants to serve tea and cakes.

Not far away, Shen Baichuan came striding forward with a big belly, at a speed that could not be seen as a person with a round body could walk out.

Shen Baichuan was also not humble, as if entering his own home, when he came to the main hall and entered the door, he saw the maid laying out pastries and making tea, so he said happily;

"It's better to be my Lord Hou. I know that my old Shen likes this."

Zhang Jinyu said helplessly when she saw Shen Baichuan who was a little rude,

"Brother Shen, come sit down and eat slowly, what wind has brought you here again."

Shen Baichuan was not polite either, he picked up a pastry and swallowed it, he was still not satisfied and took a bite of another, and then he opened his mouth,

"This wind must be there, and it is the wind in the capital. I heard that Lord Hou is going to rush to Beijing now."

Hearing Shen Baichuan's question, Zhang Jinyu felt a little strange. It is impossible to ask for no reason. There is something wrong.

"Brother Shen, if you have any advice, you might as well speak up."

"Happy, Hou Ye is going to the capital, but Hou Ye, the road has to be taken slowly, and people have to go slowly, just go slowly for fun along the way."

Zhang Jinyu looked puzzled, and after thinking about what Shen Baichuan said, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, there is a [-] elite army with him, so there is no way to do this.

Shen Baichuan just smiled and said nothing, continued to drink tea and eat snacks, and let Hou Ye think for himself.

Zhang Jinyu didn't feel uncomfortable, and asked again,

"Brother Shen, why? I didn't figure it out."

"Master Hou, it's not about safety. It's about the martial arts competition. The time for each side's troops to come is different. It's better to arrive later. Those frontier troops must arrive first. You want to have so many unruly soldiers together?" , there will be disaster."

Hearing what Shen Baichuan said, Zhang Jinyu was a little curious, what kind of trouble could happen here, nothing more than a fight, and besides, this is in the capital city, the Beijing camp is not blind.

"Like what's going to happen?"

Shen Baichuan heard Hou Ye's tentative question, so he replied carefully,

"Master Hou, what should a poor person suddenly go to a rich place and want to go to if he has no money, especially if the brothel in the capital is famous all over the world."

"You're talking about security issues, those soldiers are making trouble, and there may be frontier troops behind!"

Zhang Jinyu understood it when she heard this. It was a typical stressful situation, but what she said made sense. This point should be paid attention to, especially the safety of her family members.

"Thank you, brother Shen, for reminding me, I really didn't expect this."

Shen Baichang also waved his hand,
"Master Hou, we two brothers still say thank you. It's all right. You don't have to be afraid of your guards. By the way, there is a man of my own in the capital. My clan brother, the original subordinate was transferred to the capital by me, and his name is Shen. Bao'an, currently serving as Deputy Qianhu of the Imperial City Division, Jingcheng Dongcheng, happens to be within the jurisdiction of the capital's Marquis Mansion, so let him know if there is anything to do, and the information can be passed on."

Seeing Shen Baichuan talking like this, Zhang Jinyu recognized him in his heart. It was really bothering him. He reached out and patted Shen Baichuan's shoulder, but did not speak. Shen Baichuan naturally knew what Lord Hou meant, and nodded at the same time.

"Your Majesty, have a good trip,"

"Well, brother Shen, take care too,"

After the two of them explained their affairs, Shen Baichuan left.

After Zhang Jinyu watched Shen Baichuan leave, he got up and walked towards Dongyun Tower. He was not very clear about the situation in the mansion, so he should ask his mother what she thought.

Zhang Jinyu came to Dongyuan along the path, and when he entered Dongyun Building, he saw that the maids inside were all busy, packing packages, unpacking boxes, and only the mother and the second daughter were sitting there drinking tea Reconciliation.

Zhang Jinyu quickly walked towards the three of them, and the sharp-eyed Lan Yue'er saw her coming, so she got up and said a blessing,

"Your Majesty, I am very polite."

Lan Shuer also got up after seeing it.

Zhang Jinyu pulled the two of them to sit down,
"You guys, don't be too polite, I'm busy with you."

The second girl blushed and was very shy.

Mrs. Wang nodded in relief when she saw this scene. They were raised by her side. These two women are just like her own daughters. Seeing that their son has a good relationship with them, she feels a little moved. Why isn't her father not?

"Hey. Jinyu, tomorrow we will open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and say goodbye to your father."

"Yes, mother, everything has been arranged."

"Ah That's good!"
