Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 246 Cute
Tie Shi got up in the morning and ate the dumplings made by his mother-in-law and left home. He joined the generals who had rested in a shop not far away and went to Anpingwei to report the victory. On the same day, he returned to Huju with the troops sent by Anpingwei. It turned out that Commander Zhou was shocked when he heard that there were more than 1 taels of silver in the bandit den on Huju Mountain, and hurriedly sent his confidants and soldiers to cooperate with the suppression of bandits. After losing his trusted soldiers and generals, there were hundreds of households who went back to Huju Mountain with Tieshi for a while.

Dozens of cavalry generals and hundreds of soldiers rushed out from Anpingwei and headed towards Huju Mountain. People who didn't know outside couldn't help being scared, especially the family members of the soldiers who went to suppress the bandits. Few people thought that something happened to the bandit suppressing army, and Anpingwei sent troops to rescue them. Those who searched for news, those who worshiped the Bodhisattva, and even many women were scared and cried.

Only then did Anpingwei Commander's Mansion remember and spread the good news quickly!
"Do you think what those people think of the Commander's Mansion?" Mrs. Lu said vividly, and laughed again, "especially when they know that Commander Zhou sent so many people to Huju Mountain for Is it money grabbing?"

Ning Wan also found it quite ridiculous when she heard this, "Is it possible that Commander Zhou is such a dignified third-rank official that he is so short of money?" Commanding history, the family must not be thin!

But Mrs. Lu said sternly: "Lack, really lack!"

"Don't look at the Zhou family who have served as commanders for so many years. The family has a good foundation, but the family has a big business, many people and complicated affairs, and the expenses are also high. The most terrible thing is that they send a large sum of money to the Xiangwuhou Mansion every year. This year There are more than a dozen carts sent to the capital in the winter, and I heard that the cash alone is worth tens of thousands of taels." Mrs. Lu said softly again: "I heard from my father-in-law that the Zhou family will allocate the military salary for this year. Deduct more than half!"

When Tie Shi was in Duolun, the military salary was often insufficient, forcing him to find ways to raise money to support the soldiers. Since he got in touch with Commander Lu, whether it was building walls or suppressing bandits, he never had to worry about military salary.So Ning Wan smiled and said to Madam Lu Shao: "Fortunately, there is a commanding colleague to help!"

Mrs. Lu smiled lightly, "The Zhou family dares to detain others, but they dare not extend their hands to our house! After all, he has a backer, but we don't? They can take care of it, but we can't?"

This is not the first time Mrs. Lu mentioned that the Lu family has a backer in front of her, and Ning Wan felt that she didn't care about her inquiring, and was even willing to let herself inquire, so as to attract Tie Shi to completely invest in the Lu family.But those really had nothing to do with Tie Shi and herself, so Ning Wan just pretended not to understand, she didn't want to participate in the battles of those high-ranking officials at all.

So I just asked: "Fortunately, half of the silver and iron stones in Huju Mountain were distributed to the soldiers this time, which also benefited everyone. If they don't divide, wouldn't Commander Zhou take them all away?"

"Isn't that exactly what you said?" Mrs. Lu wisely stopped going deeper, and instead laughed following Ning Wan's words: "I heard that General Tieshi confiscated more than 1 taels of silver, and the Commander unexpectedly He is very dissatisfied, and repeatedly tells everyone that the bandits have been entrenched in the area for hundreds of years, and they must have accumulated more than this ten thousand taels of money, which means that the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits have already divided a lot."

"Even if you want to be greedy for money, you shouldn't hear that more than 1 taels of silver was found in a bandit's lair, which is too little." Ning Wan shook her head and said, "In this case, Commander Zhou might as well lead the troops to suppress the bandits himself. Leave everything alone."

"I think he is regretting it now, but he didn't have the ability to win Huju Mountain!" Mrs. Lu giggled, "After hearing the good news, he will immediately take back all the more than 1 taels of silver. General Tie Shi refused in front of the generals, claiming that he had already distributed half of the silver and two points to the soldiers according to military merits, and he could only give half to Anpingwei, which made Commander Zhou so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He scolded General Tieshi for arbitrarily taking power and not obeying military orders."

"General Iron Stone also turned his face at that time, and slapped the table, 'If I am in power and don't follow the military order, you won't even see a tael of silver!' The commander was so angry that he jumped his feet and shouted for military law to follow."

"My father-in-law took the military law and came out to read to Commander Zhou. What General Tieshi did did not violate military law, he couldn't do it at all, and the commander was speechless for a long time!"

Compared with their own dissatisfaction with Commander Zhou because of the Zhou family, Commander Lu Tongzhi, who competed with Commander Zhou for the power of Anpingwei, actually hates Commander Zhou even more, and they will do everything possible to attack Commander Zhou. , including forming an alliance with Iron Stone.

Therefore, Ning Wan only said affirmatively: "Tie Shi told me when he came home that he would never treat the brothers who followed him through life and death again, so he must give half of the silver taels to everyone."

This time the gangsters who have been on the periphery without any credit can get a few taels of silver, as for the officers, they get even more.Even Mrs. Lu didn't care about tens or hundreds of taels of silver at all, and said: "Of course it should be. Everyone fought desperately, so what if we got more? Besides, General Tieshi left half of it for Anpingwei. , even if you sue the emperor, who can say anything?"

"So General Tieshi doesn't have to be afraid of the Commander!" Mrs. Lu said in a low voice again: "I heard from my father-in-law that the Commander was secretly whispering with some of his cronies that he wanted to give General Tieshi a place to hide stolen money and not report it." The crime, and the excuse of not being able to capture the bandit leader of Hujushan alive to suppress General Iron Stone."

The fact is that, 2000 taels of silver is too little for Zhou Commander to do, 1 taels will still be too little, even if he has piled up mountains of gold and silver, he will still think it is too little. It is completely correct to hide those treasures with iron and stone.She sneered, "There are always excuses, unless you don't go to war at all!"

This time Mrs. Lu came to Lu's house by going back to her mother's house. Naturally, she not only wanted to pass on the news, she told Mrs. Lu right now, "How can my father-in-law let him do whatever he wants? I sent a letter to the General Military Mansion earlier to say hello." , and contacted Anpingwei to send his nephew to Huju Mountain, we must not let the commander slander your children!"

The nephews of General Anpingwei's official family followed Tie Shi to suppress the bandits. As long as they had some skills, Tie Shi would naturally give them the opportunity to make contributions. This time, several of them followed to Huju Mountain. Most of the officials' children have read and read, so they are the main ones in the registration and compilation. If it is said that Tie Shi hid the stolen money privately and did not report it, then these few can't escape the responsibility, especially the young master Lu, Tie Shi Zheng Order him to take care of it.

Ning Wan nodded in thanks and said, "Thanks to Commander Lu, otherwise, wouldn't we suffer a big loss?"

"Just don't worry, my father-in-law not only forbids Commander Zhou to embarrass General Tieshi, but also uses this military achievement to ask for credit for General Tieshi and promote him to rank five thousand," Mrs. Lu revealed again, "Commander Zhou is now The war is not over yet, but as soon as the bandit suppression is over, General Iron Stone's fifth-rank official position will be secure!"

Mrs. Lu Shao had promised herself a fifth-rank official position before, but it didn't work out.Now Ning Wan doesn't have too much hope, after all, she knows that Anpingwei is under the control of Commander Zhou, and it is very difficult for Tie Shi to get ahead, but Tie Shi is still young, and there will be opportunities, so it is not as Mrs. Lu thought. General was very excited, and just smiled, "In theory, Tieshi should be promoted, but many things can only be determined by the destiny."

Mrs. Lu thought she had doubts, so she vowed: "My father-in-law said that as long as all the bandits in the northeast of Anpingwei are wiped out this time, General Iron Stone will definitely be promoted to the fifth rank!"

Seeing that she was so attentive, Ning Wan said sincerely: "We only met later, Tie Shi never knew how to communicate with superiors, but Director Lu gave him his full support, and both of us, husband and wife, know that it is a matter of promotion." If you can’t succeed, I’m also sincerely grateful to Commander Lu, there are really not many people like him who are willing to speak up for his subordinates.”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "It's not that I am taking credit in front of you. Although my father-in-law has always admired General Tieshi very much, he just doesn't want to have more contact with him because of his too cold temper. Later, it was my mother who told me about you. He is an excellent person, and he said that it shows that General Tieshi can be handed over. I told my Dalang, and then told my father-in-law. Now my mother-in-law, father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, aunt, and my father-in-law all said I have vision, give me a high look!"

Ning Wan knew that Commander Lu's help was something she didn't have in her dream before, and she vaguely guessed some of it, but now that Mrs. Lu said it so bluntly, she was even more sure that her participation in it brought about a change.And because Mrs. Lu praised him, he smiled and said: "Now I just look at you and know that your Young Master Lu must have a bright future in the future!"

"I'm willing to do as you say!"

The business was over, the two laughed for a while, Mrs. Lu refused to stay any longer, went to the upper room to pay her respects to Mrs. Wu and left.

In front of her mother-in-law, Ning Wan didn't mention Commander Zhou's censure and Commander Lu's promise, but only told her, "Now Commander Lu's eldest son and Tie Shi are together suppressing bandits, so no matter what happens to Anpingwei, he will They will all take care of Tieshi, in fact, they are also taking care of his son. In addition, there are quite a few people in Anping Guard who command fellow officials like Lu, so even though Tieshi is outside, there is nothing to worry about."

The words made the mother-in-law smile, "Wan'er is really good, not to mention that the wives and wives in Hutai County often communicate with you, even in Anpingwei, there are many people who come to see you, and even the young lady from the commander's prefect often visits you. .”

These days Ning Wan is raising a baby in the old house, and she doesn't leave the door without leaving the house, but the guests at home never stop.Ning Wan just laughed, "As the saying goes, poor people make troubles and no one knows them, and rich people have distant relatives in the mountains. If it weren't for Tie Shi's ability, what am I, who would come to see me?"

Although the old house prospered because of the son, it was not like this before. The mother-in-law knew best, "Mrs. Bi told me that you are a person with a heart and ability. Even if you don't marry our family, no matter where you marry The family can live a very good life, and the family can prosper most.”

"My mother-in-law really believed it. She just praised me casually because she helped cook in our house."

"She didn't just boast." The mother-in-law is an honest person, so she told her daughter-in-law exactly what was in her heart. "I didn't really believe what she said at the beginning, but it turned out to be true. You see, you have been married for more than a year, and Tie Shi's temper has improved a lot, and he has gone well in the army, and even life at home is more enjoyable than before."

Ning Wan laughed, "Grandma, you are so cute!"

"I'm cute?" The mother-in-law was a little confused, just as Luo Yan walked in, she pointed at her and said, "You must be talking about Yan'er, only a child of her age can be called cute."

"Not bad, not bad," Ning Wan had to admit, "Yan'er is cute, and mother-in-law is kind." In fact, she really thinks that mother-in-law is really cute, and Luo Yan, at best, is fake cute.

Being cute doesn't mean being good-looking or having a charming manner, but being pure and innocent from the bottom of your heart, a mother-in-law is barely enough.And what about Luo Yan?She is cute only on the outside, but on the inside, who knows?At least I can't see through it.
