From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 32
Turning her head to glance at the closed carriage door, Mei Xin put down the hanging curtain and leaned forward, whispering in Mei Jinze's ear: "Especially the news about me and Daddy, you can't just listen to other people's nonsense. Especially the people in Prince Liang’s mansion, don’t trust them easily. From now on, I will send you a safety letter every ten days through the hidden stake. You don’t have to worry if the letter is safe. If there is any change in Beijing, the hidden stake will also be sure. It's no longer safe. If I really come to the last step at that time, I will send you a letter through other methods. When I was young, I liked to doodle, so I used your portrait as a code. If Dad and I are in danger, you will know it at a glance. "

Thinking of the happy time when she was a child drawing with her father and elder brother, Mei Xin's nose was sore and she was full of reluctance.Going to the capital is very dangerous, and it can be said that she is close to death, and I don't know if she can put it to death and survive.Therefore, she dared not tell her brother, and once his brother knew about it, he would definitely not let her go.

The elder brother is the only son of the father, the only incense of Mei's family, and it cannot be broken no matter what.And this is also the last retreat and bargaining chip of the Mei family. The 30 army, the loyalty of generations, and the eyeing Tartars should be enough.

Speaking of the portrait of herself drawn by her sister, Mei Jinze suddenly said with a depressed expression, "That's not me, that's a big meat bug."

It wasn't a caterpillar, or any other odd-shaped bug, but a turquoise, fat, round bean bug.She squirmed slowly, very much like the chubby Mei Jinze who was fed when she was a child, and in Mei Xin's heart her brother was like that.

Stepping back and sitting on the soft cushion again, Mei Xin gave him a look of "you are a big meat bug", and then said lightly: "Just remember, it's getting late, there are still a lot of military affairs in the army Deal with it, go back quickly."

Lifting up the curtain of the carriage and rehanging it, Mei Xin knocked on the carriage.Two long and one short, Luoqiu opened the door, and Mei Jinze glanced at Mei Xin and muttered, "Pixalope, hum!"

After getting out of the carriage with a muffled grunt, Mei Jinze looked at his lieutenant general and entourage Du Quan and said, "I don't worry about others, you personally escort the young lady out of Liangzhou."

Du Quan took the order and saluted immediately: "Your subordinate obeys!"

She raised her hand and gestured to Mei Xin's personal maidservants, and Yun Luo, Dou Kou, Luo Qiu, San Niang and others got off their horses and came over.Saluting to Mei Jinze with one voice, he said: "All of you are from Yiyingtang, and you were all picked out by the general himself. You are not only the guards next to the major general, but also the maidservants next to the eldest miss of the Mei family. Among them are those who have read poetry and books and are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some who know needlework and know how to cook, and some who are skilled in martial arts and good at calculation, and even more good at general affairs. Back then, the general gathered you together and sent you to Mei I said a word to you in front of my heart, do you all remember it?"

Taking a step forward, Sanniang replied respectfully: "The servants will not forget what the general said. We are the soldiers of the young general when we put on the armor, and the maidservants of the young lady when we take off the armor. We only have one master." , that is Mei Xin!"

"We only have one master, and that is Mei Xin!" The other three stepped forward and said unanimously.

Mei Jinze was quite satisfied with their answers, nodded seriously and said: "Okay, just remember everything. The capital is no better than Liangzhou. This time you go with the eldest lady. Remember, everything is done by the eldest lady." Safety is the most important thing. No matter who, no matter where, you only follow her orders, understand?"

Prince Liang's Mansion is not as clean as the General's Mansion, plus everyone from the fifth house of the Mei family lives in it, so there are many people and many things to do.Mei Xin is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, but she can't stand the word filial piety.Therefore, Mei Jinze wanted Sanniang and others to remember that they were not servants of Prince Liang's mansion, nor his soldiers, nor were they belonged to General Mei, but Mei Xin's servants, who only listened to her orders.

"Slaves, please understand!" Sanniang and the others all grew up with Mei Xin, and they have a deep relationship with each other day and night, and even if Mei Jinze doesn't tell them, they will not obey other people's orders, and they will put her safety first .

Mei Jinze has never been separated since meeting her sister, Mei Jinze is worried from the bottom of her heart.After instructing Sanniang and the others, he instructs Yuanying again, and he doesn't finish until the time for a stick of incense has passed.

Soon, Su Yu'an, who took Mei Xin into the city, arrived, and the two exchanged greetings to say goodbye to Mei Jinze and left.

Looking at her elder brother who left in the dust, Mei Xin felt indescribably uncomfortable.Let's not say that we won't see each other for a year, if things don't go well, and father will be detained in the capital, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other again until three or five years later.

Brother, wait for me, wait for my father and I to return safe and sound, and wait for the day when our family is reunited.

"Sister, it's getting late, mother is still waiting at home, let's go into the city first." Jumping into the carriage, Su Yu'an saw that Mei Xin's eyes were red, put down the curtain and said: "There is always a banquet in the world, today's separation is for When we get together in the future, sister, don't be sad."

Hearing the sound, she regained her composure and smiled, Mei Xin tapped twice on the carriage and said: "Tonight, I have an appointment with Little Six for dinner at Juyuan Building, you guys meet. Little Six is ​​a monkey, a thief, and he is as careful as a hair, and he is tactful. , is a rare and good helper, you can ask him when you are out of the house and you can’t make up your mind. His father died early, and there is an elderly mother and a married sister at home. He is very filial, loyal, and loyal. You should get along with him."

In the last life, the little six sons chased her to the capital, where she was murdered to death. In this life, she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so she specially recommended it to Su Yu'an.

Xiao Anzi will be a person with great fortune in the future, and Xiao Liuzi is smart, tactful and careful in doing things, so he will definitely have a good future under his hands.

What Su Yu'an lacks most right now is people, especially people who can be used and trusted.Therefore, he was very happy, and also became curious about Little Six, who Mei Xin had always been full of praise for.

"Thank you, sister, for helping me. I will definitely treat them kindly." Su Yu'an assured Mei Xin as she bowed her hands and bowed her head.

Mei Xin knew that he was kind, and then told him about the way of imperial servants.Doing business is actually similar to fighting a war. You must be united as one. Only in this way can you advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

It is said that people’s hearts are separated from each other, and they are different. If you want to be united, you can’t just show kindness.The most important thing is that the subordinates must be in awe of the superiors. Only in this way can orders be banned and the armed forces be ordered.

Su Yu'an learned abacus and business from his father since he was a child, and he also has his own unique views on Yuxia.Therefore, the two chatted quite speculatively, and Mei Xin also learned something from him that she didn't know, and understood some principles of dealing with people.
