Hello Chang’an
Chapter 164: The Liuhuo family
Chapter 164 The Liuhuo Family
Shen Sanmao nodded: "I smashed it back, and made everyone in the village smash it together, and poured dung juice on them. After all, the villain has to maintain the prestige given by the girl before he can do things in the future."
Faced with this tasteful description, Chang Suining nodded: "...That's fine."
It's just that she didn't dare to think about the situation at that time.
Shen Sanmao wiped away her tears: "Don't worry, girl, they were all smashed on the head in the field and not thrown outside."
Chang Sui Ning showed admiration: "It's very good."
This is the highest state of managing a family without letting the wealth flow to outsiders.
Shen Sanmao suppressed her tears. Because of the understanding and encouragement she received, she said energetically: "Don't worry, girl, I have gained some experience this season and will get better and better in the coming year!"
Chang Suining smiled and nodded to him.
It’s hard to say what the overall situation will be like in the coming year, but right now, from sowing a seed to watching it slowly grow and bear fruit, every small step is important and has its own meaning and use.
"This year's grain harvest is all in the book. In addition to the amount that is supplied to various places in the mansion, there is still half left. Do you want to hoard it or sell it and convert it into cash?"
"Store them all." Chang Suining said: "You don't have to give me the money in this book. All of it will be replaced by rice grains and stored together."
Zhuangzi’s harvest brought in more than just farm grain.
Hearing that she wanted to stock up on food, Shen Sanmao was surprised, but he agreed without hesitation.
The two talked for another half day before Chang Sui Ning left the farm.
After the carriage entered the city, Chang Suining looked through the hollowed-out window in the direction of the place where she used to go when she returned to the city, and casually said, "Let's go to Xuance Mansion on the way."
She has been busy with various trivial matters these days, and has not yet had time to fulfill her agreement with Liuhuo.
The carriage rolled towards Xuance Mansion.
When the carriage and horses stopped, Chang Sui Ning stepped out of the carriage. He had already changed into a man's robe and tied his hair into a ponytail, and told Xi'er to wait in the carriage.
When entering and exiting Xuance Mansion, she didn't want to attract too much attention.
The guards outside Xuance Mansion were constantly changing. When they saw strangers approaching, the guards on both sides blocked each other with their spears. They solemnly said: "Xuan Ce Mansion is an important place. No one can approach without permission."
This formation was very intimidating, but the "young man" looked calm and did not speak. He only raised his right hand and showed a bronze talisman.
When the guards saw this thing, their expressions calmed down, they took back their spears, held them in their hands and moved them to one side in courtesy.
There are guards leading the way, and another guard has quickly walked forward to pass the message.
Chang Suining stepped across the threshold of Xuance Mansion. When the wind blew on her face, she seemed to smell a familiar scent. This wind belonging to Xuance Mansion brought pictures of the past, and she could still hear old talk and laughter ringing in her ears. .
Then, she followed the guard on the path that she could walk without missing a beat with her eyes closed, and arrived at the main hall of Xuance Mansion.
The same as what I saw last time, her Sunshine Sword was placed in the main hall.
There were three sticks of green incense burning in the incense burner on the table used for offering sacrifices, half of which was already burned.
Chang Suining looked at the incense burner that was almost full of incense ashes, and couldn't help but think that if she was really under the Nine Springs at this time and had such strong incense all year round, she would probably be a wealthy gentry.
"Chang..." Yuan Xiang's voice came from behind: "Chang Xiaolangjun, you are here!"
Chang Suining turned around.
Yuan Xiang bowed his hands and said with a grin, "Are you here to see the Governor?"
Chang Suining smiled and said, "Let me take a look at the pomegranate fire."
Yuan Xiang was heartbroken for his Grand Governor, but the warm smile on his face did not diminish: "My Grand Governor is also here at this time."
"If Governor Cui is busy, I won't disturb him today. Just tell him I've been here then."
She just came to see the horses, and it would be inappropriate if she disturbed his official duties.
"You're not busy at the moment!" Yuan Xiang said hurriedly: "And it just so happens that the Governor is at Lihuo's place right now. I will take you there right now!"
Chang Sui Ning nodded after hearing this.
Yuan Xiang led the way and met many Xuance Mansion soldiers along the way. They all looked at him intently and did not look twice.
Along the way, Yuan Xiang kept winking at people he knew well until his eyelids cramped, but he never received any response. Yuan Xiang hated that iron is not made of steel - these people can't see the mountains. Afterwards, they found out that it was Mrs. Chang who came today. They have regrets!
Liu Huo was placed alone in a horse garden. When Chang Sui Ning arrived, he was very surprised to see the situation in the courtyard.
Under the afternoon sun, the tall young man's sleeves were half rolled up, and the front of his robe was half tucked into his waist. He was wearing dark green boots. There were two buckets of water beside him, and he was bending over to pick up a horse brush. Carefully brush the horse's legs.
As if she sensed someone coming, Cui Jing subconsciously raised her eyes and was startled when she saw it was Chang Sui Ning.
Chang Suining smiled at him and said, "Captain Cui."
Cui Jing straightened up immediately, still holding the horse brush in his hand. He felt that his image was in a mess at this time. He was unprepared and felt that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet.
Yuan Xiang came over and secretly exclaimed to his own Grand Governor in a low voice: "Grand Governor, Mrs. Chang is here!"
Cui Jing: "..." Don't you think it's too late to communicate at this time?
Sensing the accusation in the Governor's eyes, Yuan Xiang felt a little aggrieved. Mrs. Chang did not need to communicate when she came here. This was specially explained by the Governor.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the wet boots and disheveled robes of his chief governor, and he suddenly felt enlightened.
Oh, I understand, it’s the governor’s fault that he didn’t tell him in advance, so the governor didn’t have time to dress up... no, to dress up!
He made a miscalculation, so be careful next time!
At this moment, suddenly cold water drops splashed all over Yuan Xiang's body and face, and Cui Jing was not spared either.
Luohuo shook the water on his fur excitedly and ran towards Chang Suining.
It gave a gentle and joyful cry, and rubbed its head against Chang Suining's shoulders and neck.
It was wet all over and soon soaked her robe. Chang Suining leaned back to hide while stretching out **** to push its forehead.
Sensing his master's disgust and resistance, Luo Huo plopped down and rolled on the spot, trying to wipe the water off his body.
Cui Jing: "..."
Very good, for nothing.
He was almost wet, but seeing this scene, there was a smile in his eyes.
He put down the horse brush, wiped the water droplets from his face, and walked towards her.
Not far away, two horses stuck their heads out, and when they saw the fire rolling all over the ground, their eyes widened in confusion.
Luo Huo felt that he was almost done with it, so he stood up and shook twice more, then called out in the direction of the two horses, and the two horses ran over.
Chang Suining looked over curiously, and Cui Jing said from the side: "These are Liuhuo's wife and children."
Seeing Luo Huo leading his wife and children to her, Chang Sui Ning felt a little ashamed for no reason. She didn't prepare any gifts when they met for the first time.
Luo Huo kept shouting, as if he was making some introduction.
The two horses stared at Chang Sui Ning.
Chang Suining looked at them, then fixed his eyes on the obviously youngest horse, nodded and said: "It does look like a pomegranate."
In terms of physical advantages, he is not inferior to Luhuo. He is a rare good horse.
Cui Jing said: "The temperament is also very similar to that of Luhuo. He is a stubborn horse with a temper. He has just turned three years old and has not recognized his owner yet."
Chang Suining was a little surprised, and then said: "A horse born at home can still have such a fierce temper. It seems that he was raised by a rich family who has not experienced the dangers of the world."
Cui Jing agreed: "Well, it can be regarded as a son of an official family."
After all, Liu Huo has an official position.
Chang Sui Ning couldn't help but smile and turned to look at him: "The daily official affairs in Xuance Mansion are so busy, and Governor Cui has no time to take a rest. How can he take a bath for Liu Huo himself?" Cui Jing looked at Liu Huo: "This is equivalent to taking a rest. ”
He is used to staying with the old people and things in Xuance Mansion, and whenever he sees Liuhuo, he always feels at peace.
Sensing the rare sense of relaxation in Cui Jing at this moment, and seeing him raise his hand to touch Lihuo's neck, Chang Sui Ning also felt that this scene had a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Does that official's son have a name?" she asked casually.
"Yes." Cui Jing did not take back the big hand that was caressing the durian fire, but paused slightly and turned to look at her: "Return date."
"Return date." Chang Suining read it again, looked at the pony, nodded and said: "It's a very good name."
For the officers and men in the Xuance Mansion, fighting on the battlefield is their destiny. She said: "If the officers and men return home on time, it will be good news."
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, Cui Jing looked at her quietly, and then said after a moment: "Yes, if there is a return date, it will be good news."
Chang Suining turned to look at him subconsciously.
The girl's eyes were clear, and there was a flash of exploration in her eyes.
Cui Jing took his hand back, glanced at Liuhuo who couldn't calm down for a moment, and said, "I'll go back and change first."
Chang Suining recovered his thoughts and nodded: "That's fine. Governor Cui, please go quickly. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay." Cui Jing responded and left with Yuan Xiang.
There was no one else in the horse garden except the two servants who were watching from a distance. Luo Huo tried to put his head lightly against Chang Sui Ning's forehead. This time Chang Sui Ning did not avoid it and smiled with his slightly wet forehead. Touching each other, he raised his hand and rubbed its neck.
Gui Xian on the side jumped back in surprise when he saw this - how can dad still be so close to others at such an age!
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years, Luohuo has always been a strict father to his son. At this moment, he turned to his son and called him forward.
Luo Huo arched his son's neck with his head and shouted at Chang Suining again, as if to indicate something.
Chang Suining: "It's not too bad, isn't it?"
When they meet for the first time, do they want to give her son a ride?
Not only did she feel it was inappropriate, but she also jumped up unwillingly, like a little lamb with two heads.
Luo Huo raised his front hooves and gave his son two kicks, seemingly cursing in his mouth.
- This is a good job to honor the ancestors. Who can catch the green smoke from whose ancestral grave? If he hadn't established the family title when he was young, would it be this traitor's turn to inherit it?
-This is a great blessing. Other horses would have no chance of crushing their heads!
The rebellious mother-in-law also came over and seemed to give some advice.
The return date is now more honest.
Luo Huo made another introduction to Chang Sui Ning.
It was hard to reject such kindness. If she didn't ride it, it would be like she wasn't giving him face. Chang Suining had no choice but to say, "Then let me try?"
Luo Huo quickly kicked his son again.
Gui Qi swung his hooves and took two steps forward.
There were no stirrups or reins on the horse. Chang Suining held the horse's back, jumped up, and gently held its neck.
He was not used to it, so he shook it restlessly twice, which immediately provoked a mixed roar from his parents.
Luo Huo ran ahead to lead the way and supervise his son, turning back from time to time to intimidate and urge him.
Gui Qi carried Chang Sui Ning on his back and ran twice in the horse garden in a leisurely manner, which stunned the two horse servants.
"Then Xiaolangjun...what's his background?"
Another person smacked his lips: "It seems that he saved Master Luohuo's life... He was even willing to give away his son."
They have lived with horses for a long time, and they understand the body language of horses to some extent.
After Chang Suining got off the horse, he took the horse brush left by Cui Jing, gave Liuhuo a brief scrub, and took a soft blanket and wiped it from head to toe.
Liuhuo shook his body refreshed, consciously regaining the heroic appearance of his youth.
Chang Suining smiled and patted its head: "Okay, it's time for me to go."
Luo Huo turned around and called out, and his wife and children immediately ran forward.
Chang Suining took a few steps and realized something was wrong. He saw three horses following behind him. Although there was no baggage on his body, there was baggage in his eyes.
The family of three actually seemed to have packed their belongings and were leaving with her.
She looked at Lihuo: "...you can't leave."
The pomegranate raised its ears in disbelief - weren't you here to catch it?
"Now is not the time." Chang Suining whispered to it, patted its head comfortingly, and promised: "When the time is right, I will come to pick you up."
Although Luo Huo was reluctant to leave, he still regarded her words as military orders, so he could only stand where he was and watch the girl leave.
When Chang Suining was about to walk out of the horse garden, she looked back and saw that Luo Huo was still looking at her. When she turned back, she seemed to have hope again, and stepped on the ground twice with her front hoof in anticipation.
Chang Sui Ning didn't dare to look at its eager eyes again and turned around to leave.
On the way she met Cui Jing who was returning from changing clothes.
"Are you going back now?" Cui Jing asked.
Chang Suining: "Well, it's getting late."
Cui Jing went to the front yard with her.
On the way, Chang Suining seriously thought about the possibility of asking Cui Jing for help, but finally gave up.
Since Luo Huo had military exploits and was old, she had no suitable reason to use as an excuse. Her rash words would be too weird and would arouse suspicion.
Secondly, her future was undecided at the moment, so taking the elderly Lihuo with her was not as stable and comfortable as letting him stay in Xuance Mansion for his old age.
When she is still in the capital, she should come and see it frequently.
Once conditions permit in the future, she will immediately try to take Luo Huo back to her side. She hopes that one day.
"The money for rebuilding the northern border defense is coming soon." Cui Jing said to her as she walked.
Chang Suining came back to his senses and immediately said: "That's very good."
"But the amount of silver is only half of what I asked for." Cui Jing said: "Although there are still shortcomings, it is not appropriate to delay this matter any longer. I will lead the army to the north first, and I will find another way to urge the court and the Ministry of Households to do the rest. May be added.”
Chang Suining nodded. He probably didn't know how to win this half, and Dasheng's treasury was not optimistic.
She looked at Cui Jing: "Then when do you plan to leave?"
"After worshiping ancestors on the Double Ninth Festival." Cui Jing said: "In three days, I will go with the saint to the imperial mausoleum to worship ancestors. Will you go with me?"
Many officials and their families will go together for the ancestor worship trip, but Chang Kuo is not in Beijing now, so the Chang family brothers and sisters have a choice whether to go with them.
Ancestor worship requires preparation in advance. Chang Sui'an is currently in the Xuance Camp and will not be able to rush back in time.
Chang Sui Ning: "I will not accompany the imperial mausoleum to worship ancestors. Madam Duan and I made an appointment to go to Princess Chongyue's Mansion to offer sacrifices on the Double Ninth Festival. Madam Duan informed the saint about this in advance and has received the saint's permission."
Cui Jing hesitated for half a step, then nodded after a moment: "That's fine."
While the two were talking, they had arrived in the front yard.
At this time, under the guidance of a guard, Mingluo in official uniform came towards him with his maid.
Good night everyone (づ ̄3 ̄)づ
