Today's General's Mansion is particularly lively. Both the inner and outer courtyards are hung with red lanterns, and servants sometimes set off a few firecrackers. The people in Yunxiang County are all curious about what the General's Mansion is doing. Even many children were watching from outside.

When the sulfur and nitrate mines of firecrackers were discovered, Yang Haiyan asked a master to make them. He made them in small quantities, and whenever he encountered special ones, such as those for New Year or festivals, he would put them on, which was particularly interesting.

Although the people in Yunxiang County don't understand the General's Mansion, which has only been here for four or five months, they still have a good impression. First of all, the general solved the problem of city walls and beasts, so that people no longer have to worry about the disappearance of wild beasts in the cold winter.

Secondly, the general's palace recruits soldiers, and the military camp fields recruit stewards. The general's palace also collects grain, and when collecting grain, the money is never in arrears. For this, the people are most happy.

Finally, and most importantly, the general's mansion is a place where the common people are spoiled. For the people, the most fearful thing is that a high-ranking official comes to the local area. As a result, this high-ranking official bullies the people and makes the entire county a mess. In the past four or five months, everyone knows that the General's Mansion is like this, so are you happy?

Although the General's Mansion is lively, the guests in the Mansion are also busy. The Qin family had no relatives in Yunxiang County, so they only invited people from the county government. And Du Ke, who lives in the capital, is from the capital, and there are no relatives here, so there are no talents in the general's mansion.

놊Yes, there are few people, so it will be easier to entertain.

In the inner courtyard, Yang Haiyan entertained Mrs. Yang County Magistrate, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Yang Xiaowei. Grandma Qin and Qin's mother were also there. Third Aunt Qin was also there. Qin Siya and Qin Qiuya were entertaining the ladies. Ling's daughter and Meng Qiu.

And Qin Shoucheng was not idle either. He brought Niudan and Kun Daying to entertain Lu Dawei, Lu Xiaowei, the sons of Xiaowei Yang's family, and the son of Magistrate Yang's family. They were all classmates in the college and were very happy. familiar.

Qin Shouye was brought along by Qin Fang. As the accountant of the military camp, it was also a good thing for Qin Shouye to contact more people and expand his horizons.

Wei Ting stood up first: "Today is a happy event for Lord Du and General Qin. We respect Lord Du and General Qin."

As Wei Ting finished speaking, Shen Lixian, Magistrate Yang, Magistrate Baixian, and Shuangbubu also stood up: "I respect Lord Du and General Qin."

Magistrate Yang was filled with emotions. Before Qin Fang came, he was still thinking about how Qin Fang, a poor boy from a poor family, could achieve what he has achieved today. But now, after attending this apprenticeship banquet, he knew that Qin Fang was behind the scenes. The person turned out to be Mr. Du Kedu, the minister of the Ministry of War. You need to know that Mr. Du is the emperor's confidant.

Sure enough, it is very important to worship the right teacher.

For Qin Fang, if you can offend him, you should have a good relationship with him.

Of course, County Magistrate Yang had no intention of relying on Qin Fang, currying favor with Qin Fang, and then getting promoted and making a fortune. With his identity as 뀪놛, he is guarding Yunxiang County and wants to be a stable 꿂떚. If you get in front of the emperor and say that it must be because of the Yang family's affairs, the emperor will find the fault and punish you. Fortunately, during the period when Qin Fang took office and arrived in Yunxiang County, he and Qin Fang got along quite well.

Du Ke stood up. He rarely drank alcohol in his daily life. Now that he was happy, he naturally wanted to have a drink. "In this case, I would like to thank you for your compliments. We have been in the officialdom for a long time. Compared with Qin Fang, who is new to the officialdom, Qin Fang still wants you to take care of him. ”

Speaking of which, Qin Fang really entered the officialdom only three months ago, starting from this year when he was officially named General Wude. ‌In the former military camp, 놊 was included in the officialdom.

Wei Ting said: "Master Du, you are very polite."

Shen Lixian also said: "General Qin is Lord Du's younger brother. We must have General Qin take care of us."

Magistrate Yang smiled as he listened to the teasing, and there was no room for talk here.

Du Ke is a person who likes to talk nonsense with others. After politely talking about the situation, he got down to business: "I am coming to Yunxiang County this time. I have been appointed by the emperor. Now that Mr. Yang is here, Okay, I will talk about the emperor’s order..."

The male guests talked about serious matters, while the female guests chatted about everyday things.

Mrs. County Magistrate Yang's eyes landed on Qin Qiuya for the first time. Yang Haiyan had just introduced her as Qin Fang's cousin, the only daughter of the third family of the Qin family, who was thirteen years old this year. Mrs. Yang is already a smart person. Qin Fang can bring in all the people in the Qin family. Seeing that she respects the uncle in the next room at home and wants to promote her, she naturally also treats Qin Qiuya. Just take a high look.

Moreover, this girl is gentle and gentle. Although she is a little domestic and has an introverted personality, she just came from the countryside. This kind of personality is understandable. After a while, she will naturally change. Even if she hasn't changed, she still thinks this kind of character is a problem.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Yang's wife said: "Xiangjun, Miss Qiuya, have you kissed me yet?"

Everyone on the scene is stupid, and everyone can understand what these words mean.

Aunt Qin's heart is tight, she has a stupid mouth, but she doesn't know how to say it. Therefore, she can look at Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan said: "Not yet, Qiu Ya is only thirteen years old this year. According to the family's wishes, there are only three younger sisters in total. Now the eldest sister is married, and the remaining two younger sisters I want to stay for a few more years. Once upon a time, good girls are afraid of being picked, but good men are picked early. So, if you meet a good man, you should look at her first. "

By seeing each other earlier, you can have more contact and see people more thoroughly.

County Magistrate Yang’s wife said: “녦놊놆, that’s the reason.”

Mrs. Yang Xiaowei and Mrs. Lu also laughed together. They had no idea about Qin Qiuya. Yang Xiaowei's son was only ten years old this year, and the twins Lu Dawei and Lu Xiaowei were only nine years old this year. If you want to talk about your thoughts, Qin Siya can do it.

Perhaps County Magistrate Yang’s wife mentioned Qin Qiuya’s marriage, and they all thought of Qin Siya in unison. It doesn't matter that the girl is one or two years older than the brother. On the contrary, the woman is a little older, or the child, so they are all attracted to Qin Siya. However, the two of them didn't show off.

County Magistrate Yang's wife only mentioned Qin Qiuya, but never mentioned it again. 놊But everyone knew it in their minds. When they spoke, the next thing they meant was, but they didn’t say it openly.

After the dinner was over, everyone went back.

When Magistrate Yang and his wife were riding back in the carriage, Magistrate Yang’s wife said: “Today, I met General Qin’s family on the side of the women’s family. They were all real people. Very friendly and easy to get along with. ”

Magistrate Yang raised his eyebrows: "Why did you tell me this?" What does this matter about the female family have to do with?

County Magistrate Yang's wife said: "General Qin's family is simple and honest. Our cousin is thirteen years old this year and is planning to marry him."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Yang pondered: "Are you planning to marry my son to General Qin's cousin?"

County Magistrate Yang's wife said: "My son is fifteen this year, and you are also planning to let me take the imperial examination. Although you are blessing me now, but in the end... I want to find a house for me that is kind, simple, and capable. In fact, General Qin’s biological sister is the most suitable person to become the Yue family. Although my son is ten years old this year, it doesn’t matter if my son has such a situation in our family, General Qin will definitely treat his biological sister. The one who married into our family, so we took a step back and chose General Qin’s cousin, what do you think?”

Magistrate Yang was silent. In fact, if you want your son to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, you naturally also hope that your son can pass the imperial examination. 녦놆For the safety of ‌er 떚, for the safety of the Yang family, 놙can wronged ‌er 떚‌. The Yang family currently has good access to the emperor, so it is best to be as far away from the capital as possible. Therefore, your greatest achievement is to stop being a scholar. If you want to be a scholar, you will get at least three acres of land in Yunxiang County. Even if you go away in the future, your son will not have the dignity to live here.

If the Yang family wants to take the imperial examination again, it will take three generations.

But when his wife talked about the Qin family's marriage, she was also a little moved. The Qin family is now on the rise. If my son is engaged to be married to General Qin's cousin, and General Qin is studying under Master Du, where will he take the imperial examination? In the future, even if someone makes trouble about the affairs of Taifu Yang's family, it should be fine if Mr. Du and General Qin are backing him.

When Magistrate Yang's wife saw Magistrate Yang's silence, she knew that she had thought about it. How can a mother think about her son?

Let's talk about the excitement of Magistrate Yang's family. Yang Haiyan took a bath and lay on the bed with Qin Fang. She also mentioned this matter: "Mr. Yang, today Mrs. Yang told me about Qiu Ya. Although Magistrate Yang is wrong about the marriage, and Mrs. Yang is such a difficult person to get along with, if Qiu Ya is married to the Yang family, I agree. "

Qin Fang was stunned: "You know how much you want to do, right? Maybe Mrs. Yang wants to be a matchmaker."

Yang Haiyan said: "I'll tell you the same thing. Because of the incident of seizing the legitimate son, Taifu Yang's family was implicated. Although County Magistrate Yang's family is fine, what will happen after the death of Magistrate Yang?" Although there is no mention of Magistrate Yang's family in the novel. , but now that Qin Fang is on the official road, she wants to avoid anything that will affect Qin Fang if it can be avoided. She originally came from Mrs. Yang's family, and her status is already sensitive enough. If the Qin family and the Yang family continue to have a different relationship, then they have to be careful about the villain.

Qin Fang said: "This kind of thing needs the approval of Third Uncle and Third Aunt. You can just mention it to them."

Speaking of the third aunt, Yang Haiyan remembered Qin's mother's words: "Actually, my mother mentioned it to me today. She said that the third uncle and the third aunt want to find a good young man among your subordinates to match Qiu Ya. You What do you think of Tao 껚?”

Taoshan?

Qin Fang was completely stunned when he heard this. He really had no intention of being a matchmaker, but after hearing his wife mention it, he thought it would be okay. Compared with Magistrate Yang's family, he thinks Taoshan is better. Tao Shan followed him. Wherever he was transferred in the future, Tao Shan would go with him. This way, Qiu Ya would also grow, and he would be able to take care of the situation better: "I'll ask Tao Shan tomorrow."

Yang Haiyan said: "When asking, you have to explain Qiu Ya's affairs clearly, especially since she is looking for a son-in-law... If you don't want to find a son-in-law, you can also make an agreement with the man that the first child born between them will be a male or female. Following Qiu Ya’s surname is Qin, so it can be considered as a way of thinking about my third uncle.”

When Qin Fang heard this, he thought it made sense: "Okay, I'll tell him. Yanyan... It's a beautiful time, and there are good things happening one after another. Shouldn't you also congratulate your husband?"

Yang Haiyan rolled her eyes at him: "I've been busy for you for days, isn't this a congratulations?"

Qin Fang sighed lightly and immediately changed his tone: "Yan Yan is tired, why don't you come and give Yan Yan a massage." He was really happy, and because he was happy, he drank too much.口늀. Qin Fang even felt that he had never been as successful as 꿷天 in his life. When 늀 was named General 녊꾉Pin Wu De, he felt inferior to 꿷天. "Yanyan, I'm very happy." He sat up from the bed, took her hand, and massaged her.

Yang Haiyan looked at him with raised eyebrows. There was a rare blush on the man's dark face. He was really drunk. Yang Haiyan said: "Every day from now on, I will be as happy as I was today." A young man who is only 22 years old would still be playing in a university club now.

Qin Fang nodded: "Well, as long as you are here, I will be so happy every day in the future."

Yang Haiyan raised her head and patted his face: "It's time to go to sleep. Teacher Ming will definitely discuss things with you."

Qin Fang grabbed her hand: "I can't sleep. Yanyan, I can't sleep. Let's celebrate. While we're celebrating, maybe I'll fall asleep." As he said that, he picked up Yang Haiyan from the bed. , and then asked her to sit on his lap, "Yanyan, let's do something new every day."

Yang Haiyan: "Toying with you..."

Before the first word could be said, Qin Fang had already kissed her lips.

Yang Haiyan blinked and looked into his gentle smiling eyes. This man was really nice. She put her arms around his neck and responded to him enthusiastically.

the next day

General Qin, who was having a drink last night, was a little too noisy. Although Yang Haiyan got up early that day and didn't bother to go to bed, she still felt a little tired.

It was early in the morning, after breakfast, Du Ke's demolition man came over and said: "General, Xiangjun, please come over after breakfast to discuss errands." The person who came was Du Ke's entourage, named Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao has followed Du Ke since he was a child and has a very high status in the Du family.

Qin Fang said: "Do you want Zhuo Jing to do it too?"

Zhang Hao said: "Your Excellency said that Xiangjun knows the situation of this errand best, so he still wants to hear Xiangjun's opinion."

When Qin Fang heard this, he stopped talking and said, "We have already had breakfast. Let's go with Uncle Zhang."

When Qin Fang and others were about to settle down in Du Ke's yard, they met Wei Ting. Although the outside is large, these guests' courtyards are located close to each other, so they will inevitably bump into each other.

When Wei Ting looked at them, his eyes lit up: "General Qin, Lord Bingyun, I have to deal with you. I didn't expect to meet you now. It's really embarrassing."

Qin Fang said: "So? What does Mr. Wei want from us? We are going to find the teacher."

Wei Ting said: "Then let's talk to Mr. Du, or ask her to be a witness."

Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan looked at each other, puzzled by the meaning of Wei Ting's words.

They all went to Du Ke's yard together. Du Ke was boxing in the yard. When Qin Fang came, he stopped boxing and said, "Qin Fang, come here. I'll discuss it with you." Regarding joining, why is Wei Ting also here?"

Wei Ting said: "Master Du, I have something to do here. It was ordered by my father. I also asked Master Du to be a witness."

"Oh?" Du Ke was surprised, "It said inside."

In the room, people served tea. The people who served the tea were all Du Ke's people. No matter where he went, he would always bring his own people with him, as he was used to. Now that he is in the general's mansion and the student's home, he feels more at ease.

Duco: "Drink tea."

"Yes." Everyone picked up the tea cups.

After taking a sip of tea, Wei Ting said: "Master Du, General Qin, and Lord Bingyun, when we were at the border in the past, my younger brother Wei Wu recognized the Lord Bingyun's sworn sister. This matter happened at Yongzhou Military Camp at the border. Many people know this. What my father means is that if my younger brother recognizes his adopted sister, she will be the goddaughter of my Wei family, so the Wei family must also make up for it and Mr. Du is here. The official asked Mr. Du to be a witness on behalf of his father." He carried out Wei's father, which also meant that Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan could not refuse.

Du Ke's face was calm, but a thought flashed through his heart. Is the Wei family going to recognize Yang Haiyan as their goddaughter? What's going on? Of course he didn't approve of this matter, but judging from Wei Ting's intention, the matter seemed to have been decided. Du Ke looked at Qin Fang and the others.

Qin Fang was also shocked. Didn't he explain this matter clearly to Wei Wu? Wei Wu also promised not to mention it again. Why did Wei Ting mention it now? Moreover, Wei Ting didn't mention it when he first came to Yunxiang County, but he mentioned it now after he became a disciple...Qin Fang immediately understood that if Yan Yan was married to the Wei family, and he was the teacher's student, So the Wei family and the Du family...

"Bingyun thanks Mr. Wei for your love." Yang Haiyan said, bowing in the direction of the capital. The Mr. Wei in her mouth was naturally Wei's father, "But Bingyun has recognized his wife as his adoptive mother. I also accept the marriage recognition gift that Master entrusted me to bring, so I can no longer recognize the Wei family as my godmother." Yang Haiyan also touched the ruby ​​hairpin in her hair, which was given to her by the Crown Prince's wife. She had never used that set before. Speaking of which, this is the first time I have used it.

Then, Yang Haiyan saluted Du Ke again: "Teacher, I like the hairpin given by my adoptive mother very much. I also asked the teacher to return to the capital and thank my adoptive mother."

Du Kehe and others felt unsatisfied again, but their faces were stained with anger: "You like it well. This hairpin was given to your adoptive mother when she was a girl. Her mother gave her a few years ago." , I’m afraid that your girl’s family doesn’t like this kind of thing. It seems that your preferences are quite similar. When you have a chance to go to the capital, she will definitely like you. "

Wei Ting didn't react at first, and his son didn't think about who Yang Haiyan's adoptive mother was. When Du Ke answered, he understood that Yang Haiyan's mistress was not Du Ke's. Wife? Du Ke accepted Qin Fang as his student, and Mrs. Du accepted Yang Haiyan as her adopted daughter?

Come to think of it, it's not impossible.

However, this matter is too trivial?

But that's it, what else can he say? Let Yang Haiyan recognize two godfathers? That's too forced. "In this case, it's my fault that Wei Mansion is not considerate, and I also blame Wei Wu for not making this matter clear earlier."

Yang Haiyan said: "Second Young Master Wei is a cheerful person. When he said that I was his adopted sister, he was just thinking of an old friend and raising my status. He was afraid that my husband would bully me. He probably didn't do anything either. I think Mr. Wei in the capital will take it seriously, and after asking Mr. Wei in the capital to return to the capital, Mr. Wei in the capital will explain and tell him not to be angry with the second young master Wei, otherwise it will be my fault. "

Wei Ting said: "No, no, this guy is always a careless person. Since I made it clear, it's okay. If Wei bothers me, I'll take my leave first."

Qin Fang: "I'll see Brother Wei off."

Wei Ting: "‌Lao깊."

Qin Fang and Wei Ting went out, only Du Ke and Yang Haiyan were in the room. Yang Haiyan's heart was beating loudly. She had no choice but to use Du Ke to block Wei Ting. In fact, she couldn't think of any other reason at the moment, and when she was thinking of this reason, she was very sure. , Duko will not refuse.

But at this moment, there were only her and Du Ke in the room, and she still felt a little nervous and uneasy.

Du Ke's eyes were like sharp swords, looking at Yang Haiyan, at least that's how Yang Haiyan felt. She felt that Du Ke's eyes were very sharp.

But in Duco's view, this is not the case. He felt that the woman in front of him was very smart. For such a smart woman to be paired with his verbose student, it was quite... quite interesting. Du Ke could feel Yang Haiyan's nervousness and even saw sweat dripping from her forehead. As if he felt enough of her nervousness, Du Ke spoke: "Why did Bingyun reject Wei Ting? The Wei family is among the first aristocratic families in the capital. If the Bingyun Township Lord recognizes the Wei family as his godson, , I’m afraid that if he were to be in the capital, he would be very prosperous.”

Yang Haiyan lowered her head and said: "The Wei family and I have a grudge. Although we are not irreconcilable, and even the Wei family is relatively close to me in some respects, it is true that there is some enmity. If I recognize Wei We are related to each other, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of rumors about me in the future. And...although big things don't stick to trivial matters, I'm a woman and don't do big things, so I don't recognize her in some places." Dare not look into Duco's eyes.

Duko raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?"

Yang Haiyan paused and continued: "I was sold by my parents to Mrs. Yang's family when I was 6 years old. Thanks to the eldest lady, I followed her from then on. I am dressed better than other maids, and eat better than other maids. I am even lucky. Follow the eldest lady to learn from famous teachers, read and read..." Speaking of this, Yang Hai knelt down and said, "Mr. Du, important matters in the court are not something I, the woman, can think about, nor can I, the woman. As much as I can manage, it is in my best interest that Taifu Yang's family is in trouble. I am a slave but not a good citizen. However, the eldest lady of the Yang family is more kind to me than anything else. I have no right to do what the Wei family does to the Yang family. Accusation, but I don’t have the right to admit it. In desperation, I ask Mr. Du to forgive me in Mrs. Du’s name.”
