From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 157
All the people sent by Ji Yun have been investigated, and they are all clean.Therefore, she was not afraid of Nanny Song's tricks, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to choose well.On the contrary, she wants to see if her vision is really unique, and if she can really see a person's good or bad, strengths and weaknesses at a glance.

Luo Qiu was worried, seeing that Mei Xin was about to drink porridge, she quickly took out the silver needles, and after trying them one by one, seeing that the silver needles hadn't changed color, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Be careful, even though Bai Zhi has been staring at you... She did it, but it's hard to guarantee that she won't make any small moves, so it's better to be cautious."

Smiling without saying a word, Mei Xin nodded, and then quietly began to eat.In the past, she would ask Luo Qiu and the others to eat together, but after hearing Nanny Song's words just now, she decided to abide by the rules from now on.

The master is the master, the slave is the slave, and the subordinates are the subordinates. There can be no distinction between superiors and inferiors. Otherwise, Luo Qiu will see her as before. She started by herself.

Growing up together, she has long been used to Mei Xin's easy-going and easy-going nature, but she is not used to the sudden sternness and seriousness of Luo Qiu, but she has no complaints, especially what Nanny Song said just now, she is very conscious Obediently stood aside.

Yun Luo said that the four of them are Mei Xin's personal servants and must lead by example, and if they have no rules, then the people in the mansion will follow suit and not take Mei Xin seriously.Therefore, if she wants to change, she must always remember her identity and duty.

After staying in the barracks for a long time, Mei Xin also eats very quickly. Although she can't be called a wolf, the speed is not comparable to that of ordinary people.After drinking a bowl of red dates and millet porridge and eating seven or eight crystal dumplings, she felt that it was not enough and ate another plate of soup dumplings. Mei Xin took Luoqiu out when she felt almost full.

The four tigers in the courtyard were still kneeling, and when they saw her coming out, they immediately saluted and said, "See you, Major General!"

Stopping and looking into the distance, Mei Xin thought for a while and said, "If you come to apologize, do you know where you are wrong?"

Sihu knew that otherwise he would not have come so fast, and he would not have knelt in the courtyard and could not get up. He said in a deep voice: "The military order is like a mountain, and you beat people without authorization. You violated the eight rules of military discipline. Please punish me, Major General!"

No matter what the reason was, and no matter whether Mei Jingxuan was the first to speak provocatively and act first, if he beat someone and violated the order of the major general, it was a violation of military regulations.Therefore, he was willing to be punished.

Luo Qiu had already told Mei Xin what happened, and she said: "Go down and get the ten army sticks, and next time you will be kicked out of the guard battalion and demoted to be a centurion."

The punishment of the ten army sticks is actually not heavy, but it is particularly serious to be kicked out of the guard battalion and demoted to a centurion.In particular, the four tigers have come to this day by virtue of their own abilities, and being reduced to a centurion is tantamount to pushing him to the end.Immediately startled, Sihu said: "Yes!"

"The purchases in the mansion are entrusted to you. From now on, I will know the major events that happened in Beijing and the news of the various mansions every day. After I recover from my injuries, I will go to Yunluo to get money. As for the people who inquire about the news, you can find a way yourself. In addition, I I have ordered someone to bring your mother and your eldest brother and sister-in-law to Liangzhou, and bought them land, so you don't have to worry about them." After speaking, Mei Xin took Luo Qiu and left.

The capital city is very big, originally this matter should be left to Xiaoliuzi, but he will go to the East China Sea with Su Yu'an soon, so he can't be trusted.Sihu looks honest, but he is actually very clever, forthright and loyal, and the most important thing is that he can get along anywhere.Therefore, letting him take charge of the purchases in the mansion to inquire about various news in the capital is not considered to be burying talents.

The four tigers were overjoyed. First of all, it is very important not to mention how much oil and water there is to buy in the government, but just to inquire about the news.The major general entrusted him with such an important matter, which shows his trust.

And his mother and brother and sister-in-law, receiving someone to take care of him in Liangzhou also relieved his worries.Of course, there were other reasons for Mei Xin to do this, but no matter what the reason was, he was very happy.

Hou San, who was guarding the door, saw him keep on being silly, stepped forward and said, "Sihu, I said, are you stupid, leading the ten army sticks and still laughing here, are you stupid?"

Hearing the sound, he raised his head and stood up, Sihu said: "My mother always said that fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and today I understand it. Hou San, wait for my brother to receive the punishment and invite you to drink. I have something to say!"

Hou San usually has a good relationship with him. Seeing his happy face, he knew that there must be something good, so he said impatiently: "What's so mysterious, if you want to talk about it, talk about it now."

Sihu would like to tell him now, but there is no regulation for the purchase, so he reached out and patted Hou San on the shoulder and said, "Not yet, I will tell you when I figure it out. All right, stand still." It's your post, I'll go get the hair first."

Although the Shijun stick was heavy, it wasn't the first time he had been beaten. In addition, he was rough-skinned and young, so he could walk back by himself after the beating, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

Hou San knew that he was strict in his actions and tight-lipped, so if he didn't say anything, he would definitely not say anything.Without asking too much, he raised his hand to signal that he knew, and then stood at the gate of the yard again.

The big garden by the lake in the backyard was crowded with people, Lin and the others had already started picking when Mei Xin arrived.There are quite a few heirs in the four houses of the Mei family, and there are more than a dozen brothers and sisters, Mei Xin alone.Ji Yun was afraid that there were not enough people, and it would be too late to buy, so he sent more than 200 people.There were men, women and children, and there was also a family who sold themselves to the palace.

Seeing Mei Xin approaching from a distance, Yun Luo hurriedly went up to meet her, handed her the roster in his hand and said, "There are three cooks, Sister-in-law Li is in the small kitchen, and the other two are in the big kitchen. Sister-in-law Li She is very good at cooking, not only knows Beijing cuisine, but also cooks Liangzhou food, and according to her own, Huaiyang cuisine is also very good."

Huaiyang cuisine pays attention to knife skills. The reason why Mei Xin knew Mrs. Li in the Ping Palace in her previous life was because of her knife skills.The vegetables are cut as thin as a hair. She has learned for a while, but she can't cut them to the level of Mrs. Li.However, she was inspired to create her own set of knife techniques, which are especially useful when killing people.

Walking to the grand teacher's chair and sitting down, Mei Xin glanced at the crowd indifferently.Seeing that Sister-in-law Li's family had all stood to the left, she said, "Are those on the left already received errands?"

Yunluo stood behind her and replied, "Yes, the kitchen staff has been selected, and the gardener and the woman who sweeps the yard have also selected a few. Sister-in-law Li's husband and eldest son both raise horses, and I have someone take them with them. They went to see Yunying."

Yunying is not Mei Xin's lieutenant, she has gone to a racecourse to raise horses before, so she is very familiar with horses.Yunluo is not an expert, so he can't decide. In addition, all the horses are raised in Liangwang's mansion, and people who know how to raise them must be raised, otherwise it will be easy to raise the horses to emaciation, illness or even death.
