The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 137 New House, Fire Kang
Gongsun Lian frowned, "Xiaoyue, why do you say that?"

Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and chuckled, "If Liu Zicheng wants to embezzle, even if he doesn't make a fuss about his clothes, he will get money elsewhere."

"If he buys our wool fabric, at least we know how much he bought and how much he spent."

"Whether these fabrics were used on the soldiers of Zhenxiguan, Mr. Gongsun and Major General Huo's abilities must be able to determine whether the clothes are in place."

"There is a fixed amount of funds allocated from the imperial court. This way the data is clear. If Liu Zicheng dares to commit corruption, wouldn't he directly hand over the evidence of corruption into your hands?"

Li Changshou pondered for a moment, "It seems like Liu Zicheng won't be that stupid!"

Gongsun Lian thought for a moment, then smiled, "It was my preconceived notions that caused Liu Zicheng to be corrupt. Xiaoyue, your words reminded me that Liu Zicheng is not that stupid."

"Since he dares to let people come to buy from you, he is not afraid of me checking him. I believe these things will be used by the soldiers."

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "If he can climb to that position, even if his intentions are not right, it does not mean that he is a fool and does stupid things."

"I do think his actions this time are somewhat sincere. After all, the looting of Hulan Racecourse has proven Qi's ambition."

"He is now guarding Zhenxiguan. If Zhenxiguan is lost, he, as the coach, will also bear the main responsibility. If it is lost, he will be demoted even if his head is not chopped off."

"Although we cannot completely trust him, as long as we can be sure that he is not a traitor to the enemy and the country, then our stance on guarding Zhen Xiguan will be consistent with ours."

Gongsun Lian thought for a moment. Over the years, he knew that Liu Zicheng was corrupt, excluded dissenters, and was domineering, but he was indeed not found to be a traitor to the enemy.

In addition, Liu Zicheng's daughter entered the palace this year and became the emperor's concubine. At least now she has no reason or motive for treason.

"Xiaoyue, you are so smart, you think more thoughtfully than me." Gongsun Lian chuckled. He had incorporated other emotions, which would naturally affect his judgment.

Li Xiaoyue shook her head, "Don't say that. I am a peasant woman and I will not compare with you. I can think this way because bystanders know clearly and have no prejudice."

"By the way, Mr. Gongsun, what are you doing here this time?"

Only then did Gongsun Lian think of business, "I need wool fabrics that can make ten thousand sets of clothes to make warm clothes for the soldiers in Dongshan."

At this time, Wen Xiaolan scratched her head on the side, "It's strange, doesn't General Liu command all the soldiers in Xiguan? Shouldn't he prepare winter clothes and not prepare them for Dongshan Military Camp?"

Li Xiaoyue covered her mouth and smiled, "Mr. Gongsun, what do you think? Aren't you and Major General Huo just worried about General Liu's interference in Dongshan Military Camp?"

Gongsun Lian nodded, "There is such a defense, but with me and the Major General here, he can't move."

"That's great! You can still save some money." Li Xiaoyue said, "Liu Zicheng can't compare to you and Major General Huo in leading troops in war. If he can't do well in military supplies, this general will be just a showman. .”

Gongsun Lian caressed his beautiful beard and nodded, "You're right, I should go talk to Liu Zicheng about the military pay and military supplies for [-] new soldiers."

Although the Gongsun family and the Huo family are also looking for ways to make money and train as much as possible, they are raising the country's army, and those who want to fight for the country are not their private soldiers.

Li Xiaoyue agreed, "I should have asked him for it. These soldiers are fighting to protect the land of Dayan, they are protecting the people of Dayan, and they are loyal to the court of Dayan."

Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "Well said."

"This is my humble opinion, Mr. Gongsun, just listen to it, or follow your own ideas." Li Xiaoyue only knew the superficial things, but didn't know many things inside, and was worried that it would affect Gongsun Lian's judgment. "I know it well." Gongsun Lian nodded, "I come here this time with a merciless invitation."

To her own people, Li Xiaoyue didn't even listen, so she agreed, "What's the matter? Mr. Gongsun, just say it."

Gongsun Lian pondered for a moment and mustered up his courage, "Seeing that autumn is coming, I predict that the Qi Kingdom will definitely invade this winter. My mother is in Lanshan County. Although she has guards and servants, she only has one old man after all. I am not worried. .”

"At the same time, I am also worried that the enemy will jump over the wall and kidnap my mother. I can't take care of her in the military camp. Even if I send someone to rescue her, it will cause heavy casualties. I want to bring my mother here."

"But, you know, the military camp is not comfortable. It is not good for the elderly to live there. I want to place her in Lihua Village. Please help take care of her."

Li Xiaoyue was surprised and pointed to the newly built house, "The house over there has just been built. I once promised to take the old lady to live at home. But the house has not been built yet, and I haven't taken her over yet."

"There is still some furniture missing in the room, but the basic facilities are in place. Mr. Gongsun, if you are okay, I will take you to see it."

Mrs. Gongsun often sent people to bring some food, and Li Xiaoyue often asked Li Changhuan to stay with Mrs. Gongsun for a few days.

This is how feelings get along. With the war imminent, Gongsun Lian entrusts his mother to her, and Li Xiaoyue agrees.

Not just because of relatives, but also because of friendship.

Gongsun Lian had known that a house was built here before, but he didn't know that it was for his mother.

Gongsun Lian was so moved by Li Xiaoyue's thoughtfulness that he condensed a thousand words into one sentence, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Li Xiaoyue's voice was clear and hearty, "The Gongsun family also helped us when we needed help."

"The war is coming. Mr. Gongsun and the Major General just need to take care of the army and the military camp. Leave the family to us."

Gongsun Lian never felt regretful about not having a wife and children before. After all, he had made sacrifices for his ideals.

But at this time, he was quite short of breath.

It turns out that there is someone at home, which is so reassuring.

Follow Li Xiaoyue to the two-in courtyard. Although the courtyard is not too big, it is not small either.

There are five main rooms, two reception rooms, two bedrooms, and one servant's room.

The room was empty, but the window curtains and bed curtains had been arranged.

When he saw a big cave in the house, occupying the best place for the bed, Gongsun Lian asked: "Xiaoyue, where is the bed?"

Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "That's the bed. You can warm it up by burning a fire outside. I heard from my grandma that when winter comes, the old lady is afraid of the cold and suffers from joint pain. She has to put a lot of Tangbao in the bed and have the maid cover the bed all night long. .”

"Although the quilt is warm, the old lady's sleep is also affected. A kang like this can solve this problem."

Gongsun Lian blinked, bent down and stretched out his hand to pat the Kang surface. It was spacious and flat, "Can you let me try it?"
