Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 917 So His Name Is Tang Mo
"Third young lady, the third young master and Mr. Wen have gone to the backyard." Chunliu was walking from the front, seeing that the third young lady came out of the house and hurried over to report.

"Backyard?" Fang Xiaofu frowned, a little puzzled.

"Mr. Wen said that there are not enough servants around, so I want to see if there are any." Chunliu quickly explained.

Brother wants to pick a servant from among those people?Fang Xiaofu was stunned, and then realized that it was just an excuse, just like they complained to the person in charge of the official teeth that the price was too expensive and they couldn't do the work.

"By the way, have the people bought today settled down?" Fang Xiaofu stopped asking when he realized it, and asked about the resettlement situation instead.

"Yes, today 38 maids lived in a courtyard, and the extra people filled the yards of the previous maids. The last dozen...women and teenagers were arranged in a courtyard."

"Very well, is the youngest fed rice soup? Is the diaper ready?"

"Yes, I followed Madam Third Young Master's order, even the wet nurse has been found, and I will start work tomorrow." Chunliu was so touched that she wanted to cry while explaining.The third young lady is really a bodhisattva.

Although it is pitiful to be sold at such a young age, it is impossible to work for the master at such a young age, and even hire a wet nurse to take care of it. It is impossible to change to this point.

"By the way, is there a shaker?" Fang Xiaofu asked again after thinking about it.

"There is a cradle and a small quilt arranged. When the nurse goes to work tomorrow, I will arrange to live with the nurse. But... that Tang Mo seems not happy, saying that he can take care of it himself."

"Oh? So his name is Tang Mo..." Fang Xiaofu blinked, as if he had heard the name somewhere.Maybe this name is in line with her own preferences, but she didn't care.

"Since they are busy, I will continue to go back to the house. Bring me a pot of hot tea and biscuits. If there are no biscuits, other pastries will be fine."

Fang Xiaofu thought that he would be free now, so he might as well save up some biscuit recipes.I still have things to do tonight, but I don't have time.

When I was writing the prescription silently just now, I suddenly thought that it would be too slow to wait for the embroidery workshop to make money, and now the cost is high, so I have to think of a way to make quick money.

And her methods of making quick money have always been the ones she is best at. Now that there are people under her, of course she must make good use of them. How can they let them spend their wages all day long to embroider flowers for small profits.

Chunliu quickly took orders and left, and soon brought a pot of hot tea and a small plate of pumpkin cakes. "Third Young Madam, the last box of biscuits was taken to the backyard by the Third Young Master. Nanny Li said that this is newly made and delicious."

"Is this also for the boys in the backyard?"

Fang Xiaofu was amused by the coaxing words of Madam Li, who was in charge of the kitchen in the mansion, and remembered that she didn't ask for it. The kitchen couldn't possibly make pumpkin pancakes at just the right time. It's time to make dinner arrangements and be busy.

"...Yes, the third son said that those boys can't do the work yet, and they are growing up, let's raise them first, don't raise them badly, you will lose money..." Chunliu pursed her lips, wanting to laugh.

It is obviously delicious, delicious, and well-lived, and it is said as if it is a pet.

"Well, he was right." Fang Xiaofu put down his pen and picked up a piece of pumpkin pie with chopsticks and ate it, then took out a piece of bamboo paper and wrapped two pieces and handed them to Chunliu, "Give two pieces to that boy Zheng Weiting, He's growing too."

Chunliu snickered, quickly took it and sent it over, and turned back after a while, bringing back Zheng Weiting's thanks.

Fang Xiaofu also gave him food before, and when he came over to thank him personally, she said that there was no need to be so grand, as a thank you, it was enough for someone to bring it back, and she could receive it.

Although Zheng Weiting is cautious, he is not stubborn, so he gets along well with everyone now.At this moment, Fang Xiaofu had just picked up the second piece, and handed the plate to Chunliu: "The rest is yours."

"Thank you, Mrs. Third." Chunliu quickly took it over, even though it was only two pieces of pumpkin pie, she could still get it in the kitchen.But the third young lady took the initiative to share the food, and this meaning is different.

Since the arrival of the third young lady, she has never put on airs or punished anyone. In the morning, she ran and exercised with everyone. The servants privately said that the third young lady is easy to get along with, as long as she abides by her rules, she can live a good life.

After eating two pieces of pumpkin pie and drinking half a cup of hot tea, Fang Xiaofu continued to write silently.Chunliu hurriedly backed out knowingly.

After all this work, it was time to light the lamps, and Fang Zizhan came back to look for her.

"Little Qier." Fang Zizhan looked towards the west room first, then turned and walked towards the east room.

"Hmph." Fang Xiaofu didn't lift his head, he just let out a sound through his nostrils.

"Want to know what happened to those criminal officials?" Seeing this, Fang Zizhan quickly came over and hugged Fang Xiaofu, sat down by himself, and let her sit on his lap.

"Whether you like to talk or not, if you dare not say that you want to look good." Fang Xiaofu was still writing slowly in his hand, but his mouth was threatening Fang Zizhan like a cannonball.

"Yes, I said it voluntarily for my husband. Say it right away, lady, take the time to listen." Fang Zizhan said quickly with a suppressed smile.

"Half a year ago, the southwestern border was frequently invaded by the Xiyue Kingdom. The Tang family and the Qin family guarded the Xiguan, and the Lin family and the Zhu family guarded the Linshui Pass in the southwest."

"Behind Xiguan is Xiqiu County, where the economic exchanges between the two countries are the most prosperous. Therefore, the garrison here has always been the most important thing in Dongli. However, since the intermarriage and friendship between the two countries 30 years ago, they have been living in peace."

"The diplomacy 30 years ago ensured peace for 30 years. Half a year ago, the enemy country was ready to move, that is to say, they wanted to destroy diplomatic relations and invade?" Fang Xiaofu was surprised when he heard this. Could it be that these criminals lost their wars and were fined and their heads were confiscated?

"Perhaps. However, I heard that the military situation of Xiguan was concealed by someone and did not report it. The Xiyue Kingdom suddenly sent [-] troops to attack Xiguan. When the report of the battle reached the imperial court, there was news that Linshuiguan had been captured."

"What about Xiguan?" Fang Xiaofu's heart tightened, feeling a little ominous.

"There is nothing wrong with Xiguan. It is said that they were restrained by the Xiyue Kingdom for three days and three nights, and finally retreated suddenly. At this time, Linshui Pass has been captured. Xiguan General Tang and Qin Junhou sent troops overnight to reinforce."

"But they urgently dispatched the military order of the garrison and city guards in the nearby counties and counties, and the order did not reach the counties at all, and the messengers disappeared." Fang Zizhan paused at this point, his eyes dimmed.

If disappearance is not mutiny, it is death in action.

"By the time the second batch of messengers were successfully delivered, they had lost two counties in a row. In the end, under the fierce battle between General Tang and Lin and Zhu's troops, the West Vietnamese Army did not continue to attack the city and retreated to Linshui Pass. It still occupies Dongli County."

"Although this battle started suddenly, and it was very strategic to attack the west, why do I always find it strange? If the state of Xiyue has the ability to break through and occupy two counties in a row, it should strengthen the follow-up troops instead of being guarded by the guards. Call back."
