As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

On Jiu'er's side, her two senior brothers are now specially hired by Huamanlou to teach the Xishanwei reconnaissance team the art of close combat, which can be regarded as a help to Huamanlou.

Such a comparison made Qi Wanrong's mentality even more unbalanced - after comparing herself with the rest of the family, Miss Qi felt like a freelancer, and now her natal family not only has no help, but sometimes it is also a hindrance. If Hua Manlou created any obstacles or troubles, how could she hold her head up in front of Wen Liang in the future?

In short, Qi Wanrong has started to dig into a dead end again.

"How did you say that?" After trying to understand her girl's mentality, Hua Manlou couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Not to mention, if the father-in-law didn't send the two brothers over, I'm afraid we'd have to stay here for a while longer. Half a year, right?"

In order to prove that he was not lying, Hua Manlou handed the military report that was sent back today to Qi Wanrong and said, "Here, look, Dad is still catching blind in the West Sea. You know, herdsmen always live by water and grass, so It will take a lot of effort to find them all, so it will take the second half of the year to recover the entire territory of the West Sea, if the two brothers don't come, I really can't leave..."

Talking about Hua Manlou, I also thought of a story that seemed to be a joke: a college student in Inner Mongolia asked for leave to go home and move. The school thought the reason was too outrageous, so it might not be possible. As a result, the guy went back for the winter vacation and searched for a month. Where did it go...

Although it was a joke, Uncle Huai'an's current mood is presumably no different from that of the college student who was looking for a home all over the grassland.

In short, what Hua Manlou stayed in Lanzhou Mansion was waiting for the news of Salt Lake. Now that the two disaster brothers-in-law came to replace him, he was happy and relaxed.

Qi Wanrong curled her lips: "Anyone can do this kind of thing, and that's all they can do."

"Uh..." Hua Manlou smiled wryly, "Not everyone can do this, at least His Majesty's trust..."

After explaining half a sentence, Hua Manlou suddenly realized that reasoning with this girl... or rather, reasoning with a woman is purely self-abuse, so she took advantage of the opportunity to pull Qi Wanrong over and put it on her lap, and then smiled: "Don't worry about you!" It's about my brother..."

Miss Qi, who was still depressed at first, froze for a moment, then shrank back: "Don't make trouble, it's broad daylight... ah! Your hands are cold!"

The weather in February is still cold, Qi Wanrong is still dressed in cross-collar jacket and skirt recently, someone's claws are very suitable for sliding directly into the clothes...

Hua Manlou smiled evilly: "Here, to be reasonable, your capital is better than all of them, right?"

Qi Wanrong pressed Huamanlou's claws through her clothes: "Bah! What kind of capital is this... Don't make trouble!"

"Hey hey, that's the strength, look at the undulating mountains and mountains, tsk tsk..."

"You apprentice..." Qi Wanrong's breath suddenly became disordered: "In broad daylight..."

Hua Manlou said eloquently: "Who cares if it's daytime for this kind of thing? I have to prove to you where your prominence is?"

"You... ah!"

Qi Wanrong suddenly screamed, and then struggled desperately.

Hua Manlou raised his head in a daze, and then the smile on his face froze in an instant: at some point, Su Jiuer was already standing at the door, and she was blushing at this moment, at a loss for what to do...

Seeing that the two people in the room noticed her, Jiu'er finally recovered, and then...

Then she turned her head and walked out of the house as if she was blind, muttering as she walked, "The sun is so dazzling today, I can't see anything..."

"..."

There was a dead silence in the room, and the two who were still entangled looked at the strange woman who had always been like an iceberg with dull faces, not knowing what to say.

Girl, you suddenly become so cute and stupid, does your master know?

609. Kill three birds with one stone

"Shall we continue?"

"Continue to be a ghost, another day..."

"it is good."

"Hua Man Lou, you... you bastard!"

"You said it yourself..."

"You...you...the door is not bolted!"

"Hehe." Seeing that Qi Wanrong was about to cry, Hua Manlou stopped and looked at her with a half-smile.

Qi Wanrong violently pushed Huamanlou away, then straightened her clothes, ran to the door and glanced at the door furtively, then ran back and punched Huamanlou twice: "It's a shame that I just It's Sister Jiu'er, would I still be alive if someone else told me?"

Hua Manlou shrugged indifferently: "It's not that we have a shady relationship, is Ming Mei married right now? It doesn't matter that the young couple is playing games at home..."

Qi Wanrong was speechless for a long while, and finally snorted: "You rascal!"

Hua Manlou smiled slightly: "I'm just telling you with actions that you really don't need to pay too much attention to some things."

"you……"

"You look like you don't care about anything on the surface, but in fact, you are thinking about too many and complicated things." Hua Manlou took Qi Wanrong's hand and said seriously: "Think more. It's not a bad thing, but you locked yourself in after thinking about it, and then you feel sad all by yourself, aren't you tired?"

Qi Wanrong said awkwardly: "But...but..."

"It's nothing." Hua Manlou interrupted her, and continued: "Take this matter as an example, you are you, and your natal family is your natal family, so what's the trouble? And you really think, Liang'er Are you really helping me at home?"

Qi Wanrong stared blankly at Hua Manlou: "Could it be?"

Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled wryly, "Old Wen Ge didn't dare to say that himself, believe it or not."

"Uh..." Qi Wanrong was not stupid, and soon realized that there must be something tricky in it.

Hua Manlou continued: "Understood? A literati's mind is full of twists and turns. At the beginning, Lao Wen and I were regarded as a cooperative relationship, and he had no intention of marrying Liang'er to me at all. Wrong... Cough, on the other hand, let’s not talk about other things, just talk about the White Lotus Sect that year, did you ever think about leaving me alive or dead?”

Qi Wanrong immediately said: "How is it possible?"

This is true.

At that time, Qi Wanrong was not yet enlightened, and she and Huamanlou were also brothers, but she really went out to find someone as soon as she heard that something happened to Huamanlou, and she also strongly coerced all parties to form a unified team. As a whole, the efficiency has increased countless times. If it weren't for this, Hua Manlou would not be easy to get out.

"Right?" Hua Manlou smiled and said, "And your two elder brothers also put in a lot of effort and suffered a lot at that time, but they didn't have any complaints afterwards."

After hearing this, Qi Wanrong finally stopped feeling depressed.

Educate your daughter-in-law early, and extinguish signs of disharmony as soon as possible. This matter is even more important to Hua Manlou than taking revenge on some people in the court who cheated him. After all, this matter is related to the harmony in the backyard. Manlou doesn't want to mess up the family because of negligence.

It is hard to enjoy the blessings of Qi people!

It has to be said that it is not unreasonable why Neptune and scumbags can capture so many girls, because they are not only good at teasing, but also good at management-in fact, the latter is even more important than the former, because whether it is family or relationship, The consequences of not doing a good job are only one thing and two things.

In the previous life, Love Saint once said something like this to Hua Manlou: "I know a girl, she said her boyfriend is a scumbag. I asked her why she wanted to find such a guy, and she told me: A few days ago, I was raped by someone else. He came out of the school over the wall in the middle of the night to fight for me, and followed me to escort me when I went out for several days. When I met someone who took me to heart like this, I would recognize even the scumbag."

At the end, the love saint still looked sad: "After listening to her words, I realized that I have become what I am now, instead of 'are you asleep?' and 'what are you doing? Ah. And if you can realize it early, then, alas..."

This sigh contained a lot of content. Huamanlou asked many times but failed. It was not until the love saint got drunk that he finally got the words out: the girl he couldn't even hold hands with, was later expelled by a scum for [-] years. A small movie, a full set of [-] yuan and [-]...

It's such a sad story.

"Cough, all in all," Hua Manlou withdrew her scattered thoughts, then pampered Qi Wanrong's round face and said with a smile: "It's not suitable for you to think too much, and it's not suitable for you to be hesitant. I really appreciate that you have nothing to do and lead people to run amok on Jingshi Street, and when you are in a good mood, you are so reckless that you smashed the Xuanwuwei Qianhu House..."

Qi Wanrong's eyes widened: "Are you serious?"

Hua Manlou smiled proudly: "We are rare bastards in the capital, a model of lowering the noble moral quality, but now there are almost no legends about us in the world, can you bear it?"

To be honest, Mrs. Qi had educated Qi Wanrong a lot before she got married. The scope of education included but was not limited to such messy things as palace fighting and women's morality. Therefore, Miss Qi, who thought it was hard for someone to want her, seemed to have changed her personality. It's getting more and more depressing, and people are getting more and more boring.

It's okay for a short time, but if it goes on like this for a long time, there will be problems-this is the reason why she has been so stubborn recently.

Instead of this, it is better to let her do what she wants, anyway, she has a plan in her heart-she is the kind of person who keeps making big troubles but not making small troubles. I don’t know how many times Ying Guogong has been impeached because of her over the years, but in the end Isn't it all just a frivolous punishment?

Besides...

Now, whether he likes it or not, Huamanlou is involved in the imperial court, and after entering the imperial court, according to the Hua family's survival philosophy, it is standard practice to send some black material to the royal family from time to time.

So let Qi Wanrong go out to make a fuss, firstly, she will have fun by herself, secondly, Huamanlou will get a wave of goodwill, and thirdly, she can play some role in the court, killing three birds with one stone, why not do it?

"You...you really think so? But my mother said that after getting married, she can't be like she used to be..." Qi Wanrong looked at Huamanlou foolishly, with an incredulous expression on her face: "You don't despise me, do you?"

Hua Manlou blinked and smiled: "Absolutely not, if you don't believe me..."

"how?"

"Shall I prove to you your excellence?"

"You..." Qi Wanrong couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

The words Hua Manlou said were the best love words for her—don't doubt, these words really hit Qi Wanrong's most concerned place like the scumbag in the mouth of the lover, so she is currently touched Well, in the end, Huamanlou failed before finishing two sentences.

Qi Wanrong said angrily, "Close the door first!"

Hua Manlou pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, you really want to prove it?"

Miss Qi instantly became angry from embarrassment: "Hua Man Lou, you... you bastard!"

610. Can't wait?

The time went around and came to March, and the things that Lanzhou government should deal with had almost been dealt with.

Most of the craftsmen sent by Xishanwei are also in place. While training local craftsmen, the blacksmiths erected the unique blast furnace of Xishan, and the carpenters directly began to prepare the carriage carriages. When Xihai recovered, it is estimated that there will be a huge of the team.

The officials selected by the Ministry of Officials have arrived and started to clean up the mess caused by King Yiduan—although the war did not spread to the city, many rich people and businessmen ran away before the war, so the whole The business of Lanzhou Prefecture seems to have stagnated, and many problems have gradually become prominent.

Of course, this is no longer about Huamanlou.

"The new magistrate is fairly reliable, and seems to be a knowledgeable person." This is Zhao Ren's evaluation of the new magistrate.

Originally, they were supposed to return to Beijing in February, but Zhao Ren said that he was not very worried about things here, so he kept delaying the trip—in Zhao Ren's view, he came to save Lanzhou. After being beaten up, the Lanzhou government must be getting better every day after paying such a high price, otherwise, where will the face of His Royal Highness be put?

Therefore, in order to see how good the magistrate sent by the imperial court is, he has spent the past few days mingling in the government office and staring at the magistrate, always ready to take out an imperial decree to dismiss him.

I don't know if the magistrate will be grateful for the future emperor's personal assessment after he finds out about this, or he will scold his mother for this completely invisible assessment. How about a few mentally handicapped people?

Right now, after something happened here in Lanzhou Mansion, countless pairs of eyes in the world are looking at this place—just like the Datong Mansion back then, after cleaning it from top to bottom, who would dare to act like a monster in the short term? ?

What's more, on the surface, Zhao Ren is Huamanlou's subordinate, and Huamanlou is half of the royal family, so everyone will think that Zhao Ren was sent by Huamanlou to supervise the government. No matter how stupid you are, you have to show it a little bit, playing with the three fires of a new official.

Hua Manlou rolled his eyes: "So you feel relieved now?"

"Almost relieved."

"Then let's pack up and leave?"

"..." Zhao Ren suddenly became sad: "The next time I come out, I don't know when it will be."

Hua Manlou patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry..."

Zhao Ren raised his head and looked at Huamanlou in surprise, but he heard the latter smile and said, "Before you come out next time, I guess you will be beaten by the emperor a few times, maybe you will have to kneel down in the Taimiao Temple." For a few days, because you hung your ancestors on the top of the city..."

Zhao Ren almost cried when he heard this: "Be a human..."

Hua Manlou laughed heartily.

Although the brat did nothing wrong, judging from the results, he has made great achievements in coming to Lanzhou Mansion this time, but he can't be so used to his faults - what if he succeeds to the throne in the future and has to make such a fuss?

In Huamanlou’s previous life, there was such an emperor in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, who ran to become a monk at every turn, in order to let the court donate to the temple, so that the courtiers had to redeem him from the temple from time to time——The 480 Temples of the Southern Dynasty It is a matter of this era, when Buddhism prevailed.

Anyway, I don't know whether the courtiers at that time wanted to scold the mother or dismiss the emperor, but Hua Manlou didn't want to go through such nonsense at all-you know, Hua Manlou will worry about it at that time, And he didn't dare to beat the emperor!

So at this time, we must spare no effort to attack Zhao Ren, and if necessary, we must join hands with Emperor Guangxing to dig a hole for the bear boy, so as not to live too cruelly in the future.

"Go back honestly." Hua Manlou cheerfully made up the knife: "Although you have good reasons for not leaving these days, I can still see that you are delaying time. The so-called early death and early rebirth, and The so-called stretching the head is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, isn't it just a beating, what is so scary?"

"Speak lightly!" Zhao Ren left cursing.

As Hua Manlou said, Zhao Ren had no excuses now, and the former was keeping a close eye on him, so he had no intention of running away again, so he could only honestly pack up his things and prepare to leave.

In mid-April of the 15th year of Guangxing, Huamanlou and his party, who traveled leisurely all the way, finally arrived at the boundary of the capital.

According to the usual practice, every time Huamanlou returned to Beijing, he had to go into the palace to watch the bears being beaten. When Huamanlou was gloating and mocking Zhao Ren, Song Jie who was outside the carriage suddenly came to the window and said, : "Uncle, hurry up, Your Majesty is here to welcome you out of Beijing!"

Hua Manlou was taken aback for a moment, then immediately pulled Zhao Ren up and jumped out.

This is too weird. After all, Emperor Guangxing is an elder, and there is absolutely no reason for elders to welcome the two younger generations in this era—that is, in the old days when Huamanlou returned from Pingwo, Uncle Huai'an did not leave the mansion, let alone today's situation. situation?

If it is said that Huamanlou really regained the West Sea or did something special for Zhao, then at best, it means that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty went out of the city to greet them, and there is no reason for the emperor to go out of Beijing to greet them in person, unless it is in the case of the expansion of the frontier. This is only possible because the soil is enough to allow the emperor Taishan to enshrine Zen.

But now it's just a rebellion, this specification...

The early summer sun was a bit dazzling. After jumping out of the carriage, Hua Manlou settled down and got used to the light. Then he saw Emperor Guangxing in a Confucian shirt by the long pavilion not far away, looking at this side with a smile behind his back. It was Xu Dacheng who also looked happy, and several guards.

Hua Manlou was taken aback: Did you come out of microservices?

Before he had time to think about it, Hua Manlou hurriedly led a group of people forward to salute, but before he could bow down, Emperor Guangxing grabbed him and said with a smile: "Excuse me, this place is not suitable for you." .”

Hua Manlou was not pretentious, raised his head and said with a smile: "Father, son... Cough, I have fulfilled my mission with His Royal Highness, Lanzhou Mansion is safe, and Xihai is in sight..."

Emperor Guangxing first patted him on the shoulder with a smile and praised him, then gave Zhao Ren a hard look: "Go away, I'll settle the score with you later!"

Zhao Ren hurriedly hid aside, complaining in his heart: Who is this mother's own?

Hua Manlou sneered, and asked, "Father, why... uh... go out of the city in micro-clothes..."

"You want to ask why I came out to welcome you?" Emperor Guangxing looked at Huamanlou with a half-smile and said, "Do you think your contribution this time is not up to this standard?"
