The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 85 Finding the Difference 1
Zhao Yan: "Hey, you said yes, I have three sons and two daughters. The sons are married, and the eldest and second child are farming in their hometown with their wives and children. The third child was admitted to Jinshi last year, and now he is working in the Imperial Academy. Officer. The eldest daughter got married a few years ago and is also in her hometown. The youngest daughter is Zhao Ying, who is 12 years old this year and has not been engaged yet, so she just follows us!"

Mai Xiang: "Oh, so that's the case. Wow, General, you really have many sons and daughters, so lucky!"

Zhao Yan: "Well, the sons and daughters are all doing well. Although the eldest and second child are farmers, they have good character, are diligent and hardworking, and live a good life. The third child is an upright and kind person, and he does his job well. I have never taken bribes. The youngest daughter is very filial, cooks well, and can read a few words, which is not bad!"

While talking, the two walked to a courtyard. At the gate of this courtyard, there was a jujube tree and a peach tree.

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "This is my home!" He stopped and shouted: "Xiaoying, Captain Liang is here!"

"Hey, I'm here!" Following the words, the far door creaked open, and a plainly dressed girl walked out.

Zhao Yan introduced: "Xiaoying, this is Miss Liang Xiaowei I told you about, you can call her Sister Liang!"

Zhao Ying smiled obediently and shouted: "Hello, Sister Liang! Come and sit at home, drink a glass of water first, the courtyard where you live is still being cleaned, wait a while before going there!"

Mai Xiang waved her hand: "No, this is where I live, I have to help out, I can't be a shopkeeper! After I settle down, I invite you to come to my house to eat dumplings. Let's be neighbors, and the future will be long!"

Hearing what she said, Zhao Ying's affection for her was increasing, so she also smiled and said, "That's fine, you go over first, and I'll go over to help later!"

Zhao Yan pointed to the courtyard next to the right and said: "Lieutenant Liang, this is the house you live in, and it was vacated yesterday. Only three houses are empty now, and those three houses are all on the sidelines A place where you live with a girl. I was not at ease, so I asked Cheng Zongqi to move there. He is alone, has no family, and is a big man, so don't worry too much!"

When Mai Xiang heard this, she was a little embarrassed: "Isn't that good? I'll cause trouble for you and Zongqi Cheng when I come here. Or, return the house to Zongqi Cheng?"

Zhao Yan waved his hand: "No, Cheng Zongqi is a good man with strong martial arts skills. It doesn't matter that he lives in a nearby place. Besides, he has a very good relationship with me, otherwise he wouldn't be my neighbor before! Don't worry Well, he is easy to get along with, as soon as I discussed it with him, he immediately agreed!"

There are only three main rooms in this house, and there is also a hut, a stove room, and a firewood room.The front yard is about one mu, and the back yard is promised to be five mu.

"Well, the yard is quite big, very nice, I like it!" Mai Xiang nodded happily.

Unfortunately, only one persimmon tree and one jujube tree were planted in the front yard.There is nothing in the backyard. At a glance, the thatch is so deep that there is not even a place to stay.

Zhao Yan said: "Come on tomorrow, I'll find some soldiers to help you weed the grass in the courtyard. Oh, this Cheng Zongqi is really real, how can he not even weed the weeds!"

Just as he was talking, Zhao Ying's words rang out: "Father, Brother Cheng has only moved here for a month, and he lived in the barracks most of the time. Since this month, he has led everyone to open up wasteland. Use your strength to mow the weeds!"

"Hey, that's right, it's my father who blamed him by mistake!" Zhao Yan was not angry at being scolded by his daughter, but admitted his mistake with a good-tempered smile.

Mai Xiang smiled and said: "Then thank you General, the weeds are so deep, to be honest, I'm really worried that there may be poisonous snakes hidden in them!"

Zhao Yan: "Thank you, as long as you delve into the new weapons, it will be better than anything else! Things like weeding, leave it to the soldiers, don't take it to heart!"

Then he shouted at the house again: "Has the house been cleaned?"

"General, it's almost ready, just wait a moment!" A young voice came out.

Mai Xiang put the salute on the grass and said to Zhao Ying: "Sister Xiaoying, do you have a sickle at home? If you have one, lend me one!"

Zhao Ying: "Yes, what does sister Liang want to borrow?"

Mai Xiang: "I want to cut the thatch in the front yard." There is also a lot of thatch in the front yard, but it grows sparsely and is not too high.It seems that Cheng Zongqi, who lived here before, had trimmed thatch in the front yard.

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "Yes, there are quite a few at home. I'll go get them and mow the grass for you!"

Saying that, without waiting for Mai Xiang to answer, she rushed back to her home.

Zhao Ying soon returned with five sickles.

At this time, the three soldiers responsible for cleaning the house also walked out of the house and came to the courtyard.

Mai Xiang washed several apples in a hurry, and gave one to each of them: "Please eat apples, thank you! Tomorrow night, come to my place for dinner, and I will invite everyone to eat dumplings!"

"Thank you!" The three fighters were not polite and readily agreed.

Dumplings are a novel food for them.Everyone is very curious about dumplings.When Mai Xiang said that she wanted to invite everyone to eat dumplings, how could she refuse?
The three of them took the apples and put them in their pockets.

In front of Mai Xiang, they were too embarrassed to chew on apples, otherwise it would appear that they were too rude.

Zhao Yandao: "These three soldiers are called Chen Dong, Guo Xiaohai, and Fang Ming. From today onwards, they are your personal soldiers, responsible for protecting your safety! You can ask them to do whatever work you have."

Then he said to the three people: "Tomorrow, you have to come one more day to get rid of the weeds in the backyard. In addition, reclaim the backyard and plant vegetables, melons, fruits, or flowers and trees! In short, what did Captain Liang tell you to plant? What do you plant?"

Then he said to Mai Xiang: "You can rest assured to sleep at night, the three of them will take turns to watch the night, and promise not to let the bad guys get close to you!"

Mai Xiang, but the treasure of Lushan Guard, can't suffer any damage.For this reason, he decided to assign three personal soldiers to her.

Mai Xiang: "It's going to be cold soon, why don't we build a guard room at the entrance? In this way, we don't need to patrol, and everyone can live here. Anyway, the courtyard is big enough, so we can build a bigger guard room .”

Zhao Yan's eyes lit up, and he quickly clapped his hands and said, "Oh, why didn't I think of it? My house also needs to build a guard room, so that those patrolling people will not be frozen in winter!"

Mai Xiang: "Build a guard room at the gate of the barracks. In this way, those who stand guard will not have to suffer from cold and rain!"

Zhao Yan: "Very good, your suggestion is very good, let's do it! Tomorrow, I will have someone build a guard room. First build yours here, then build one for the barracks, and then build it for my house!"

Mai Xiang: "I pay for the guard room here."

Zhao Yan: "That's fine. In this case, the rest of the family members will not have any objections." If everyone wants to use public funds to build the guard room, to be honest, the guard house must not be able to afford it.

There was nothing in the room, but luckily Mai Xiang had the foresight to bring her bed from Luhuawan.In addition, she also made custom-made wardrobes, cupboards, dining tables, and desks with the carpenters in the village.After ten days, it can be pulled.

Zhao Yan was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, there is nothing in this room. It turned out that when Cheng Zongqi lived here, he slept on the floor, not even a bed."

Mai Xiang waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, Luhua Bay is not far from here, and in ten days or so, the custom-made furniture will be delivered!"

She was already content to be allocated a house.

Think about Hua Mulan, she started as a big soldier and lived in Liulianpu with men.Take a shower at night and be sneaky.She came to join the army, but she came here as Liang Moju in an open and aboveboard manner. She became a captain immediately after she came, and got such a nice house.

To be honest, she never thought about it before.

People in the barracks showed different views and attitudes towards Mai Xiang's arrival.

Lushan Weisuo was divided into two factions.

The majority faction is naturally headed by Zhao Yan; the minority faction is headed by Deputy Fan Qianhu.

Mai Xiang was recruited by Zhao Yan, and it was Zhao Yan who made the decision and was named a sixth-rank captain.The sealed book is now being sent to the Governor's Mansion in the Northwest.However, this is just a procedure, Zhao Yan is a general of the fourth rank, and is qualified to propose the position of the captain of the sixth rank.

The relationship between the Governor of Northwest China and Zhao Yan is also good. If nothing unexpected happens, they should agree.

Deputy Fan Qianhu learned that Zhao Yan had actually recruited a female soldier, and that she had been given the status of the sixth rank as soon as he came, and couldn't help being furious.If his wife hadn't stopped him, early this morning, he would have gathered his subordinates to confront Zhao Yan and resolutely oppose it.

On the first day of joining the army, Mai Xiang spent all her time cleaning up the house at home. Vice Fan Qianhu, who wanted to make her look good, didn't see her, and was so angry that she smashed a tea set at home.

This Liang Moju, he will definitely not let her have a good life!It's just a woman, and I haven't heard that she has any skills, but she became a captain as soon as she came!There is no reason for this, this Zhao Yan is clearly using his power for personal gain, maybe he has an affair with this Liang Moju!

He quietly spread this rumor among the soldiers.

The next day, when Mai Xiang went to work at the gun shop, she always felt that everyone was looking at her strangely and awkwardly.Sometimes, I heard people whispering, as if speaking ill of her.As long as she glanced over, those people stopped talking.

Mai Xiang sighed, sat in her seat, silently drawing the design of the cold weapon.

Unexpectedly, she didn't want to be troublesome, but those people were unwilling to let her go.

At lunch time, she took a plate to the kitchen to get food and vegetables, when a tall and burly soldier bumped into her on purpose.Mai Xiang was caught off guard, and the plate was knocked to the ground and rolled a long way.

The man bumped into Mai Xiang, instead of apologizing, he uttered abusive words: "Yo! This is the man who sold himself to become a lieutenant, right? Tsk tsk, he looks very young, not even 15 years old, right? It's no wonder that some people will ignore it and use their power for personal gain! If such a pink and tender woman is willing to throw herself into my arms, I will sacrifice everything for her!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already received a loud slap on the face.

There was a slap in the face, and the noisy kitchen suddenly became terribly quiet.

Mai Xiang's face was livid, and she looked at the man viciously.

"You, you little bitch, you dare to hit me! Do you know who I belong to? Let me tell you, I am the brother-in-law of Deputy Fan Qianhu. Don't think that you can be lawless if you climb up to Zhao Yan! "The man was furious and yelled at Mai Xiang.
