Chapter 282 0279 [Liu Qi: Why not follow the county magistrate! 】

As soon as Han Zhen left, the old housekeeper hurriedly came to report.

"Three ladies, a motorcade is coming outside the door."

coming!

The three women looked at each other, and An Niang chuckled and said, "The lady is here, we concubines should go and greet her."

"Let's go."

Mrs. Han Zhang stood up with difficulty, and with the help of Ma Shuyao, she walked gently towards the outside of the mansion.

At this moment, Zhao Fujin was getting out of the carriage with the maid waiting on him.

Wearing an elegant Liuyun girdle skirt with an emerald green Sichuan brocade turban on the outside, the golden step on the head of a dragon bun is trembling slightly as she moves, like a soaring phoenix, noble and graceful.

"Meet the big lady."

The three daughters of Han and Zhang bent their knees slightly and performed a blessing.

"Get up quickly."

Seeing that Mrs. Han Zhang had a big belly, Zhao Fujin did not dare to lift her up, so he quickly stepped forward and helped her up.

On the night of the wedding, Han Zhen had already told the whole family situation.

These three women have been accompanying their husbands since they were young, especially Han Zhang, who was Han Zhen's sister-in-law before, and is now pregnant.

Although she is a concubine, her status is extraordinary.

Another example is Mashu Yao, whose dowry alone is as high as 3000 million yuan, which is ten times richer than her dowry. The key is to provide help in times of need.

This friendship is not insignificant.

Zhao Fujin's behavior made the three daughters of the Han and Zhang families relieved. It seemed that Erlang was right. This emperor was indeed a gentle and virtuous person, and it should be easier to get along with them in the future.

Mrs. Han Zhang said softly: "The etiquette cannot be abolished."

Looking at the towering belly, Zhao Fujin felt his heart skip a beat and asked curiously: "How many months has my sister been pregnant?"

Yes, sister!
Don't think that Zhao Fujin is insulting the Han Zhang family by calling her like this, but it is actually showing his closeness.

Normally, when a wife calls a concubine, she either calls her by her first name, or she calls her concubine.

But no matter which one it is, it is insulting and contemptuous.

Because in the Tang and Song Dynasties, Xiao Niang mostly referred to a singing girl or a prostitute.

[Hurry and wave to make the flying swallows fly, slowly follow the lyrics to make the girl happy. 】

The xiaoniang in Yuan Zhen's poem refers to a singing girl or prostitute.

It is more respectful for the head wives to address each other as sisters.

Sure enough, upon hearing the word "sister," a smile burst out on Han Zhang's pretty face and she replied: "More than seven months."

Seven months old?

Zhao Fujin was surprised: "Could it be twins?"

"No."

Mrs. Han Zhang shook her head.

After greeting An Niang again, Zhao Fujin turned his eyes to Ma Shuyao.

The small face with bright eyes and white teeth, coupled with the big and smart eyes, made Zhao Fujin fond of her: "You are just Youyou. You are really beautiful. No wonder my husband always talks about you."

Ma Shuyao said modestly: "Sister is so beautiful."

Zhao Fujin ordered towards the carriage: "You guys come and meet me too, and we will be a family from now on."

The next moment, Jiang Suyi and the other three stepped out of the carriage and stepped forward to greet them.

Seeing the three girls, a hint of surprise flashed in Ma Shuyao's eyes.

In terms of appearance alone, these three women are not inferior to Zhao Fujin, but in comparison, they lack a bit of grace and nobility.

"These three sisters are my concubines."

Zhao Fujin introduced them one by one, quite like a doctor.

Mrs. Han Zhang held her belly, turned sideways and said, "Don't stand in front of the door. Sister, hurry up and enter the house."

"Ah."

Zhao Fujin nodded slightly and helped Han Zhang into the mansion with natural movements.

Passing through the hanging flower gate, a tiger roar suddenly came.

It seemed that he smelled the scent of a stranger, which made the tiger in the iron cage a little restless.

This tiger roar startled Zhao Fujin and his party. Looking around, they saw a beautiful tiger imprisoned among the rockeries in the courtyard.

Jiang Suyi's three girls, including a group of maids, turned pale and stepped back.

Zhao Fujin forced himself to calm down and said: "Why...why are there still big insects in the house?"

Mrs. Han Zhang was used to it, and her expression remained unchanged as she explained: "Last year, when Erlang returned to Linzi, he bumped into him in the mountains. He was so happy that he brought him back to raise him. Don't be afraid, sister, this big insect is usually very well-behaved. , I may have met a stranger today."

"Oh."

Zhao Fujin nodded.

Ma Shuyao said loudly: "At first, he was very fierce and wanted to eat us in the mountains. Later, after being beaten by my husband a few times, he became more honest. Now when I see my husband, he looks like a puppy and can even wag his tail."

Hearing this, Zhao Fujin was secretly speechless.

This big insect was extremely strong, much bigger than the one in the palace, but it was so fierce that it was beaten into a puppy by the husband.

This shows how brave the husband is.

All the way to the hall and seated, the maids immediately served hot tea.

Mrs. Han Zhang ordered: "Please trouble Sister An to get the account books and warehouse keys."

"it is good."

An Niang got up and headed to the backyard.

Not long after, he came back with a stack of ledgers and keys, and placed them on the coffee table in front of Zhao Fujin.

Mrs. Han Zhang said softly: "These are all family accounts. In the past, Erlang didn't want to take care of them, so he left them to me. Now that my sister is here, I can feel more relaxed."

Zhao Fujin waved his hand and said: "Since my sister is in charge, why do you need to give it to me?"

"I've never been to school, and I'm very poor at math. It's hard to manage. Now that I'm pregnant, my mind feels groggy all day long. I should leave all the emotional and rational matters to my sister."

Seeing that Han and Zhang had reached this point, Zhao Fujin no longer refused and nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the old housekeeper came forward and said: "Madam, can the dowry from outside the house be put into the treasury?"

"In storage."

Zhao Fujin ordered.

After receiving the order, the old housekeeper immediately ordered the servants and maids at home to move the boxes of gold and silver utensils, pearls and jade from the dowry into the warehouse.

……

……

"Soldiers, have a drink tonight!"

On the high platform, Han Zhen raised his wine glass and shouted loudly.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and the combined sound seemed to break through the sky.

After three months of hard fighting, the Qingzhou Army had tightened their minds from top to bottom. Now they can finally relax, drink from a big bowl, and eat meat with a big mouthful.The wine served at the celebration banquet was all cheap Shaodaobai. One sip would make your stomach burn, and it could vent the evil spirits accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers.

Wu Ji was very distressed. He wanted to drink, but he was afraid that others would steal his money when he was drunk.

Although stealing property in the military is a serious crime, money can't stand the temptation.

Besides, someone could steal hundreds of kilograms of copper coins worth dozens or even hundreds of coins. With Wu Ji's arithmetic skills, he would not be able to detect them at all.

Seeing his colleagues around him drinking heavily, he gritted his teeth and turned around to go to the barracks.

Carrying the copper coins with great difficulty, I made my way to the warehouse.

The warehouse and firearms room are important areas in the military. Even if a celebration banquet is being held in the military camp, they are still heavily guarded.

Seeing Wu Ji, two soldiers on duty wearing heavy armor immediately stepped forward and said sternly: "What's the matter?"

Wu Ji panted and said, "I want to save money, I want to save money!"

After a careful search to confirm that he was not carrying any weapons, the two soldiers let him in.

In the warehouse, the accountant and clerks were drinking.

"I want to save money."

Wu Ji clanged and placed the sack on his back on the ground.

Hearing this, the two clerks stood up and stepped forward to check the quality of the copper coins.

"and many more."

Wu Ji quickly stopped him and asked with an anxious look: "After I deposit it, can I really withdraw it?"

A clerk replied impatiently: "You can deposit and withdraw money at any time, but every time you withdraw money, you need to pay a penny handling fee."

Depositing and withdrawing money is not a good job for warehouse clerks.

It's troublesome and you have to take responsibility.

Fortunately, there is a handling fee as a subsidy, otherwise they would not be willing to do it.

Wu Ji immediately quit and shouted, "Why do you still need a penny?"

The clerk scolded: "Do you save it or not? If not, take the money and get out!"

Even a celebration banquet is unsatisfactory.

Not to mention, the clerk's arrogant attitude made Wu Ji feel relieved. He immediately smiled and said: "I save, I save."

The clerk worked very quickly. In a short time, the money was counted and a deposit certificate was issued.

Holding the note, Wu Ji felt complicated.

More than 50 yuan was exchanged for a piece of paper, which made him feel empty.

After depositing the money, the clerk's attitude became better and he warned: "Remember this, this is your password when you withdraw money. Every time you deposit or withdraw money, you will change a password. When you withdraw money, you must check your identity, deposit receipt and password. You can’t make a single mistake.”

Hearing this, Wu Ji suddenly panicked: "Then if I forget the password, won't I lose my money?"

The clerk replied: "That's not the case. If you really forget the secret code, and your identity and household registration and deposit receipt are verified correctly, you can find ten soldiers who have been naturalized for more than three months as guarantees. You can still withdraw the money, but it will be very troublesome. So. , you'd better remember the password and never tell others."

Wu Ji nodded in understanding.

He didn't understand the key to it, he just felt it was very complicated, and he kept reciting the code in his mind that the document told him.

When Han Zhen was designing the secret code, he considered that the soldiers were all rough men, so the secret code was designed to be very simple, with two or three characters.

Moreover, there is no regular pattern in the composition of the codes. Two or three words are randomly selected from the rhyme collection and combined together.

After solemnly folding the deposit slip and placing it in his arms, Wu Ji happily returned to the school grounds, picked up the bowl, and drank a large gulp of wine.

"Cool!"

With a long breath, Wu Ji laughed loudly, then grabbed another piece of braised meat and tore into it with big mouthfuls.

In a barracks, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie sat in front of the window, looking at the hustle and bustle of the school field in the distance with longing.

"We did not lose unfairly."

Wu Jie sighed.

Three meals a day of dry rice and one meal of meat every three days. Military achievements are rewarded with a lot of money. There are celebration banquets for winning battles, with big mouthfuls of meat and big bowls of wine.

How can such an army be inferior in combat effectiveness?

In contrast, the Western Army cannot even provide enough food and pay, and the morale of both sides is not at the same level at all. How can they win?

"Yes!"

Han Shizhong nodded with a complicated expression.

"I'm coming too!"

At this moment, the door to the barracks was kicked open, and Liu Qi walked in, smelling of alcohol.

Han Shizhong asked: "On the day of celebration, why don't you drink with the soldiers?"

"Straight bitch, those gangsters got together to get me drunk. If I drink more, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Liu Qi put the wine and meat on the table with a curse and said, "Come, come, let's drink together."

Since that night, the three of them have become familiar with each other.

Han Shizhong was not polite either. He was a drinker himself. Before joining the army, when he was a gangster in his hometown, he was addicted to alcohol.

After eating a bowl of Shao Bai Bai, he took a long breath and said, "Shao Bai is still strong when you drink it. The fruit wine is soft, so what kind of wine is it?"

Wu Jie was very fond of braised pork in the army. He picked up an elbow and ate it.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Qi said drunkenly, "What are your plans for the future?"

As soon as these words came out, Han Shizhong and Wu Jie stopped eating meat.

After a moment of silence, Han Shizhong shook his head and said in a blank tone: "I don't know."

As prisoners of war, Han Zhen would naturally not let them go back to Zhao and Song.

Besides, even if Han Zhen is willing to let them go, they may not be willing to go back.

Both of them are arrogant and strong-tempered people. Song Huizong treated him like that, how could he go back and use his warm face to his cold buttocks?

It's hard to say that they will be treated as a trickster and tortured.

Wu Jie said in a low mood: "I don't know how to farm, maybe I can be a bodyguard or a nursing instructor."

Liu Qi slapped the table and said angrily: "Being a bodyguard is worse than following the county magistrate. With your talents, it won't take long for you to be promoted to the commander-in-chief and lead an army on your own!"

Han Shizhong was a little moved, but his loyalty to the emperor and patriotism prevented him from speaking.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "I don't want to hit one of my own people."

"Actually, I don't want to fight the Western Army. I want to fight the Jin people and the Xixia people."

Liu Qi echoed, and then changed his tone: "But with Tong Guan and Liang Fangping and these thieves around, no one can beat them."

"I'll think about it again, let me think about it again."

Han Shizhong looked struggling and muttered to himself.

"Okay, think about it slowly."

Liu Qi didn't push him, patted him on the shoulder, stood up and left.

Watching Liu Qi's leaving figure, Wu Jie suddenly said: "Actually, it seems good to follow Han Zhen."

Han Shizhong smiled bitterly and did not answer.
