The day after Dugu Wenxiu's mother brought him to Zhuqueshan camp, the virtuous woman kicked Dugu Wenxiu out of the house and asked him to go back to work. Fang Jie gave Dugu Wenxiu ten days to accompany her, but she firmly refused to allow Dugu Wenxiu to stay at home for one more day. When Dugu Wenxiu went to find Fang Xie, she told about her expulsion, and Fang Xie was also touched. His mother is sensible, more sensible than many people.
"In this case, then you are going to go to the northwest tomorrow."
Fang Jie thought for a while and said: "I will let Yan Kuang follow you, lead a team of Xiao cavalry school, and choose 500 cavalry. I have already sent someone to Xiangcheng to arrange it. After you go, just contact the person I sent. Yes. Jin Shixiong should have received my personal letter. As for the degree of control, you can decide for yourself. I trust you. I only want to say one thing, that is, the iron ore must be shipped as soon as possible. also need."
"The subordinate understands."
Fang Jie nodded: "You don't have to worry about the old lady. I will send a few girls who are diligent and clever to take care of things. I will never let the old lady suffer. Although I have no parents since I was young, I know What kind of attitude should we have towards the elderly?"
"Thank you General!"
Dugu Wenxiu suddenly knelt down and solemnly kowtowed.
Fang Jie hurriedly walked around from behind the table and helped him up: "Why such a big gift, you do things for me, and I will take care of your worries, which is only right. If I am the leader, I can't let my subordinates follow safely I, that was too much of a failure."
"Mother has specifically ordered that if this head subordinate does not kowtow, Mother will not agree."
Fang Jie smiled: "Your mother and son were reunited last night. I wanted to visit the old lady but I was afraid of disturbing you. I plan to go there this afternoon to see what the old lady is missing. I have everything I need. Since you are here, Then come with me."
Dugu Wenxiu felt warm in her heart, and hurriedly turned to lead the way.
Although he was born in the Dugu family, he was a child of a concubine. Since he was a child, he was not much more noble than the servants in the mansion. The children of the direct line can be tortured as much as they want, and they can be ordered around as they want. His father has no family affection for him at all, and the monthly money distributed every month will be deducted by the housekeeper. His mother dare not speak out. If he offends the steward, the life of the mother and father will be even more miserable some.
Only when cousin Dugujing is kind and kind, and from time to time asks people to send some money and clothes, the couple's life can be considered more comfortable. From the moment he was born, Dugu Wenxiu had no right to make decisions for himself. When the Dugu family asked him to come to Fangjie, he had no choice.
He didn't want to come, but he knew that if he didn't come, then for the Dugu family, he and his mother would have no meaning in existence.
Now that Fang Jie sent someone to steal his mother out, he no longer has any worries.
Along the way, the two talked while walking, talking about negotiating with Jin Shixiong. At present, the several workshops that Fang Jie ordered to start construction all require a large amount of iron ore to support, so this task is not light compared to the North Hui Road. Dugu Wenxiu knew that Fang Jie wanted to use her more, and the turning point in her life happened in Fang Jie.
"The people from the Xiaoqi School have already made arrangements in Xiangcheng, and even prepared the escape route. In case of any accident, they can let you leave the city calmly. You should know your own importance, so if something goes out of line, come back as soon as possible. I'd rather not have iron ore than lose a capable man."
Fang Jie said as he walked.
Dugu Wenxiu's nose was a little sore, he lowered his head and didn't want Fang Xie to see his moist eye sockets.
"This subordinate knows that this trip to the north will definitely do everything possible to complete this errand. This subordinate knows that several workshops have already started construction. Weapons, firearms, these things are inseparable from iron ore, General If you entrust such an important errand to your subordinates, how dare your subordinates delay the general's arrangement."
"Um."
Fang Jie smiled: "Originally I planned to let Sun Kaidao do this job. This man is knowledgeable, scheming and eloquent, but he has a bad problem..."
Fang Xie didn't finish his sentence, but Dugu Wenxiu knew what Fang Xie meant. Sun Kaidao is always looking for a way out for himself, no matter what the situation is, he will put himself first. This was understandable, but it was precisely because of this that he became more and more insatiable. Dugu Wenxiu was able to enter the Zhuqueshan Camp because of Sun Kaidao's recommendation, and this recommendation was obtained by the Dugu family spending a lot of money.
Even Dugu's family had found out that Sun Kaidao was greedy for money, how could Fang Jie dare to reuse such a person
"You will work harder in the future."
Fang Jie smiled and said something, but didn't say anything more.
Dugu Wenxiu nodded vigorously, telling herself in her heart that this is an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change her destiny. As long as I succeed, the hard and shabby life of the previous twenty years will never come back. Sun Kaidao's idea of thinking more about himself is not wrong, but there is one thing he didn't understand, that is... Only when Fang Jie becomes stronger and stronger, they will become more prosperous and prosperous.
…
…
Dugu Wenxiu's small courtyard is at the foot of the mountain. Not far from the courtyard is a small stream. The water is very clear. Standing by the stream, you can see fish swimming back and forth. It's so cool that you can pick up the fish just by reaching out your hand. Standing here just looking at the water makes people feel comfortable and comfortable.
Although it was already cold, the climate in Huangyang Road was not as bitter and cold as in the northwest, so the trees hadn't shed their leaves yet and were still emerald green.
Dugu Wenxiu's mother was only under forty years old, and although she had a hard life, she still looked very beautiful. She married into Dugu's family as a concubine at the age of fourteen, and gave birth to a son the following year. Living in an aristocratic family, most of the suffering of being an unfavored concubine comes from the feeling of being looked down upon by others, no matter how hard it is, I never worry about food and clothing. So she still looks much younger than the housewives of ordinary people, and her appearance has not changed much when she was young.
Even so, Fang Jie couldn't lose his courtesy.
Entering the door, he saw Dugu Wenxiu's mother, Mrs. Zhou, embroidering. Fang Xie cleared his throat and greeted him as a junior. Mrs. Zhou had never met Fang Jie before, but after all, she was from everyone, so she immediately guessed who the young man who was saluting to her was from the expression on her son's face.
She got up in a hurry, first she accepted Fang Xie's gift without any pretense, but after Fang Xie stood up, she returned a more solemn courtesy.
"Mother Zhou, I have met the general!"
She actually wanted to bow down, Fang Jie quickly walked over to help her up with both hands: "How can Madam meet with such a big ceremony, how can I take care of it? I hit it off with Wen Mou immediately, Madam is also my elder, we Wouldn't you be ridiculed if you received this gift from Madam."
Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "Before, the women received the salute from the general because they knew that the general and my son were close friends. Now I want to salute the general because the general is the benefactor of my mother and son. "
She broke free from Fang Jie's support, and bowed solemnly.
Fang Jie had no choice but to accept this gift.
He asked Mrs. Zhou to sit down, and then ordered people to prepare dried fruits and fresh fruits, and told the serving maids not to be negligent in the future. If these things are gone, go out and buy them, and all expenses will be paid by Daying.
"My son."
Zhou looked at Dugu Wenxiu and said, "I asked you to kowtow to thank the general, can you do it?"
"The child dare not go against mother's teaching."
Dugu Wenxiu answered with bowed head.
"you are wrong."
Mrs. Zhou shook her head: "If you just kowtowed because I am your mother, and you can't shirk it because you are begging for reason or filial piety, then mother is very disappointed. Although mother is not from a famous family, she has read it since she was a child." I read some books, and I still know what it means to receive a drip of water and be repaid by a spring. My mother just came, but she inquired a lot of things along the way, and knew the majesty of the general's army. The reason why I didn't kill you and brought me here was because I cherished it. Your talent loves your honesty."
"So today I want to tell you that you don't have to be unreasonable or even filial, but you must also remember the word loyalty! If one day you lose the trust of the general, I will not have your son. Today I will In front of the general, I will stab the word loyalty on your heart!"
Dugu Wenxiu was silent for a while, then lifted her robe and knelt down again, and kowtowed heavily to Fang Jie again.
…
…
The fat man made a pot of tea for Wu Yidao, then went to the back of the recliner and massaged Wu Yidao's shoulders: "Master Hou... Miss's marriage, is it a little hasty to settle down? Although Miss has a heart for the general No matter how hard it is to dissuade her, as a young lady, wouldn't it be a little... a little..."
He glanced at Wu Yidao cautiously, and seeing that the other party was still resting with his eyes closed, he continued: "Miss Jinzhiyuye, even if you marry the general, you will naturally be a wife. To put it a bit superficially, the reason why the general can have everything today Well, more than half of the credit is due to you, Lord Marquis. Without our transportation, the Suzaku Mountain camp would not have been built. Without our fleet, food, cloth, weapons, and armor, these things would not be able to flow continuously shipped in."
"Now our Huo Tong Tian Xia is all operating around the camp of Suzaku Mountain. Others can clearly see such a great effort. What the general did is a bit inappropriate, and I have wronged Miss too much."
Wu Yiyi smiled and said suddenly: "The General went to see Dugu Wenxiu's mother, Mrs. Zhou this morning. Ms. Zhou knelt down to thank her in person, and asked Dugu Wenxiu to kneel twice to thank her. Do you know why?"
Jiu Se Cai thought for a while and said: "The general has a lot of heart for Dugu Wenxiu, and the two of them are naturally grateful. As Dugu Wenxiu, Zhou's life in Dugu's house must have been unsatisfactory. Now it's time Zhuqueshan, the general also respects her a lot, and she must show it."
"That's a smart woman."
Wu Yiyi squinted his eyes and smiled, "Much smarter than you."
The wine, sex and wealth are puzzled: "The subordinates are stupid and don't understand."
"It is precisely because she knows that her status is not high, and she also knows that her son's talents are not enough for the general to continue to value. In the future, as the achievements of the general become higher and higher, there will naturally be more and more capable people under his command. Dugu Wenxiu is being reused now, and if she doesn't perform enough in the future, she will be replaced sooner or later. Zhou also knows that his son's talent is not outstanding, so for herself and her son's future, she can only let Dugu Wenxiu remember one Loyalty."
"This word is the attitude she wants the general to see."
Jiu Se Cai nodded: "This subordinate understands. In this way, this woman is indeed very smart."
Wu Yidao smiled: "A woman can make plans for the future, but if I only focus on the things in front of me, wouldn't I be inferior to her? If I force the general to make Yinyu his wife, he Naturally, there is no excuse. Because he can't leave me now, but he must be unhappy in his heart."
"When he goes farther and higher, he will feel even more unhappy when he thinks about what I forced him to do today. Since I have chosen the general, I cannot fail... I will do my best to help He, just want to watch him go to such a high place. I am so relaxed about Yinyu because I want him to remember the goodness of our father and daughter. Especially for Yinyu. The General would have been better for her."
"Dissatisfied with me and feeling sorry for me... a fool would choose the first one."
Wu Yiyi said with a smile.
"This subordinate is a fool..."
Jiu Se Cai shook his head: "I'll just obediently obey Master Hou's orders. I really can't think of such a profound thing..."
"Try to see as far as you can."
Wu Yiyi said indifferently: "The farther you look, the more sweet you will taste. You care about every inch and foot in front of you, and you won't be able to see the abyss one foot away. You will fall to your death sooner or later. But if you look out, you will know where to go. Where to go and where not to go..."
"The subordinates have been taught!"
Wine, sex and wealth bowed their heads.
"Well, I'm a businessman, and I don't pay for nothing. So..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiu Se Cai quickly interjected: "So, Lord Hou is paying for a bigger harvest in the future."
"No no no."
Wu Yiyi shook his head and said seriously: "You're wrong, I mean I've told you so much, so naturally I can't waste my words in vain, since you have paid for it, you will get something, so I will pay you this month's regular money." It's taken for granted, do you have any opinions?"
