Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 746 Join the Army
Muchun also enters the Wenjia Academy to start a new life. During the day, Yang'er and Muchun are not at home, only Youyou and Lianger are left.Liang'er was very interested in talking and walking. Sometimes Guozi couldn't take care of her and needed Qing Ya to help her. Naturally, Youyou stuck close to Li Xin every day, and even urged Li Xin to ask, "Where is my sister?" ", leaving Li Xin helpless.

When Li Xin came to the town, she gave Yoyo two maids who were a few years older than her. Shuang'er and Xiaowen are now twelve or thirteen years old, and they are just beginning to understand, so they can play with Yoyo.It's just that Yoyo wants to be an older sister, not a younger sister. Little girls have a complex of caring for others, and Yoyo is no exception. She just wants Li Xin to have a younger sister for her to take care of every day.

But how can a child say that there is something?Even if Yoyo pestered Li Xin, Li Xin couldn't help it.

Just when Li Xin was getting more and more anxious about the clingy Yoyo, Jiang posted a post asking Li Xin to visit Xue's house.

To say that Xue Qingyan and Youyou's marriage is settled, the Guan family and the Xue family are also married to Qin Jin, and it is normal for the two parties to move around more on weekdays.Although the matter of that year has been discussed, Li Xin has always been somewhat repulsive towards Xue Fu.Just as Li Xin felt, Mrs. Jiang is a reasonable person. She must have understood a thing or two about the past, but she pretended to be confused and hinted to Li Xin that she had dealt with Aunt Luo and let Li Xin Don't worry anymore, it's a way of showing love to Li Xin.

Of course Li Xin also accepted her love, knowing that she likes to wield knives and guns, so he asked someone to choose a long whip for her.

The two were tacit, but they didn't get very close.It was the first time that Jiang made a special post to Li Xin asking her to be a guest.

Li Xin picked out the unremarkable concubine-colored clothes and put them on, and put on a small apricot-yellow jacket with silver trim for Youyou, and took Youyou to Xue's residence.

Mrs. Xue already ignored everything. Since Mrs. Jiang entered the door, she heard that all the donations were handed over to Mrs. Jiang, and she worshiped the Buddha in peace in the backyard.Although Mrs. Jiang was born in the army, she only followed General Jiang in the barracks since she was a child, but she still has two talents in managing the inner house.

Li Xin once heard that Jiang's "three fires for new officials". After taking over the affairs of Xue's family, he hibernated for five days before taking away a manager who had been bribed by Aunt Luo who was getting kickbacks in the purchase. , killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, the punishment was extremely severe, and the kitchen master of Xue's mansion no longer dared to despise this lady who was said to have only brute force.

Mrs. Jiang greeted Li Xin at the second gate, and greeted Li Xin just right, until she reached a rockery pile in the inner courtyard, and invited Li Xin to go to the pavilion above the rockery pile.

Li Xin took Youyou up and followed Mrs. Jiang up, and only when he reached the middle of the pavilion did he realize that from here, he could just see the whole front yard of Xue's mansion.However, this pavilion is hidden among the lush trees, so it is not very conspicuous.

Mrs. Jiang ordered someone to serve tea and asked Li Xin to sit down.The two talked for a while, and then someone crawled up while panting.

Jiang smiled and said, "You can tell it's Qingyan just by hearing the voice."

Sure enough, after a while, Xue Qingyan ran up with sweat dripping from his forehead, and there were two clusters of red clouds floating on the youthful cheeks.Xue Qingyan hurriedly said hello to Jiang Shi and Li Xin, shifted his gaze to Yoyo, as if he was afraid of scaring her, and said in a low voice: "Yuyou, remember Brother Qingyan?"

Youyou nodded, but she didn't get along with Xue Qingyan much after all, so she was a bit cautious in front of him, just smiled at Xue Qingyan, and then leaned to Li Xin's side.

But this is enough for Xue Qingyan to make him extremely happy.

Xue Qingyan smiled and said: "Yuyou, Brother Qingyan will take you to play around, okay?"

Yoyo is still a child at heart, Xue's mansion is much bigger than Guan's house, so Yoyo is naturally curious.Xue Qingyan made such a proposal, of course she was moved.But Yoyo also knew that this was someone else's house, and she had to listen to her mother, so Yoyo looked at Li Xin eagerly.

Jiang smiled and said: "Qingyan is much older than Yoyo, you have to take good care of my younger sister." She also ordered the other two servant girls to take care of her all the way, which was a disguised acceptance.Even if Li Xin didn't want to, it was hard to stop him.

Li Xin gave a few instructions, and troubled Xue Qingyan, Youyou's "fiancée" to take good care of her, before watching Xue Qingyan take Youyou down the rockery.

"Looking at their young appearance, I feel that I am already old." Mrs. Jiang chuckled, and Li Xin said with a smile: "Madam, what's the matter? You won't be an old monster anymore."

Mrs. Jiang laughed, waved her hands and said, "I'm just expressing my feelings. I just said that. Of course we are still young! How can we say we are old if we haven't hugged our grandchildren?"

Mrs. Jiang personally poured tea for Li Xin, which made Li Xin a little uneasy: "Madam invited me here today, but what else do you want to say to me?"

Jiang smiled and said: "It's nothing, the main thing is that I want to get together with Madam, frankly speaking, I feel a little moldy after being idle in this house every day."

Li Xin looked at Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang's eyebrows and eyes were frank: "Aside from handling family affairs, I have nothing else to do. When I am free, I will practice boxing and whip, and I will pass it in a day. Just don't be afraid." You are joking, I was used to being free before I got married, after I got married I could only do activities in this house, it was kind of boring after all."

Jiang said: "I am a person who has a violent temper when I am young. Those officials' daughters are all delicate and weak. No one makes friends with me, so I don't have many friends. Although you look weak, you are in harmony with me." My eyes met, the first time I saw Madam, I admired the calmness and calmness in Madam's eyes, without greed. Later, when I learned that Madam and I are in-laws, I felt that this was fate."

Jiang said with a smile: "I hope to have more contact with Madam in the future. My husband also said that since I have married into Xue's family, it is necessary to deal with those wives and wives. I must blend in with them. It should be the old lady who guides me. Mine, but the old lady doesn't care now, so I have to find someone to accompany me. Among the wives and wives, I am also acquainted with my wife, I wonder if my wife would mind?"

It's not difficult for Li Xin to refuse Jiang's words here, but it's not difficult to think about it. After all, Jiang's identity is there. The chief daughter, Mrs. Xue's wife, and others just look at her identity. will embarrass her.She, Li Xin, is at best acting as an intermediary.

"Look at what madam said, since madam has said this, I will naturally not refuse." Li Xin agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang laughed and said: "Madam is easy to talk, I appreciate Madam not beating around the bush when she speaks, if you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, you refuse, you speak so frankly."

Mrs. Jiang drank the tea and brewed a cup. She seemed to think of something suddenly, patted her forehead, and asked Li Xin, "Madam's maiden name is Li, and her maiden's family is from Li's village. I wonder if Madam knows a young man named Li Hang?"

Mrs. Jiang compared her height: "He is so tall, he looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is very strong. He is from Lijia Village."

Li Xin was shocked immediately: "Li Hang? Ma'am, this young man..."

"It seems that you know Madam." Jiang said with a smile: "I think that young man is somewhat similar to you Madam. He must be a relative of your family?"

"But what trouble did he get into?"

Jiang waved his hands and smiled: "No, last time I met this kid who was going to join the army, I saw him make two sets of fists and kicks. He was strong enough, but his skills were not enough. I heard that he was still studying in school, and the military camp confiscated him. I know him well. An old military officer said that it is a pity that such a good seed, if he can join the army at this time, he will be a figure in the future."

Li Xin was a little uneasy, and asked, "Did the barracks let him go back?"

"Well, he's gone back." Jiang asked curiously, "Who is this young lady, Madam?"

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "It's my nephew..."

Jiang smiled heartily: "I admire this young man very much. If he can really join the military camp, given time, he will definitely be a strong general in the future. This young man has a tough heart and looks like an iron-blooded soldier!"

Jiang paused: "Madam, since he is your nephew, why don't you go back and discuss it with your natal family?"

Jiang smiled and said: "I also want to recruit some talents for the military camp where my father is."

Li Xin took Yoyo home after having fun, thinking about this matter all the time.Shan Zi to join the army?Brother and sister-in-law, do they know?Is Shan Zi just kidding or for real?

Before Li Xin sent someone to ask at her mother's house, her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, came directly to the town, grabbed Shan Zi by his collar, dragged him to Li Xin, and pushed him forward.

Shanzi stood firmly, without even stumbling, and even took the time to wink at Li Xin, and gave Li Xin a look for help.

"Sister, this brat, I'll let him go to the military camp to endure hardships tomorrow! If he persists, I will let him decide his future without saying a word, and I will not force him to study that Lao Shizi book, but if he insists If you don’t come down, you can help me to bring him back, and I’ll clean it up again!” Mrs. Zhang put her hands on her hips angrily, and Li Xin smiled and said, “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Mrs. Zhang waved his hand and said: "He went to join the army secretly, but was rejected by the people saying that he was studying in school, and the military camp would not accept him. Fortunately, he didn't say hello to his family, but directly told his husband that he didn't want to study! Wait until your elder brother knows , he is gearing up to go to the barracks to enlist in the army again! What's so good about being a soldier? A sword has no eyes..."

Shanzi bared his teeth and said: "Mother, I have thick skin, who can hurt me?"

"Can't hurt you? Then I'll give you a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots first, do you want to try it!"

Mrs. Zhang puffed her eyes, Shanzi shut up wisely, and quietly moved Li Xin, the rescuer.

After a few words of persuasion, Li Xin asked Shanzi, "Have you made up your mind, do you really want to be a soldier?"

This time, Shanzi nodded very solemnly, which made Mrs. Zhang angry and angry again, saying: "You go, you go, your father is up to you, if you last three months, I will not object!"

Shan Zi immediately said: "Success, mother, don't go back on your word, I can really make it through!"

Mrs. Zhang slapped him on the arm, and Shan Zi let out a strange cry, and ran behind Li Xin, muttering, "Mother, the older you get, the more tempered you become..."

Li Xin thought it was funny, and grabbed Mrs. Zhang's hand who was about to come forward to beat Shanzi, and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, now you join the army and don't fight, and nothing will happen. Shanzi doesn't want to study and wants to join the army. Let him go and see if he can do it." You can’t really practice it. If you really practice it, you will have an extra man in the family.”

Mrs. Zhang squinted at Shanzi, and said, "Who cares..."

Li Xin covered her mouth and smiled slightly.
