Yan Wushuang returned, and Bincheng and Tongcheng were successfully taken over by the Ming army.
After Liaodong's matter was resolved, Yun Qing then returned to Beijing with Qi Hao. Ning Hai followed Feng Dajun to Tongcheng, accompanied by princess Yun Lan.
When he arrived in Tongcheng, Ning Hai learned that Qiu Dashan had been relegated from the main general to the lieutenant general. And Feng Dajun is the main general, and he is also one of the lieutenants.
On the third day of Dao Tongcheng, A Shao said to Ning Hai: "Uncle, General Qiu said that he would invite you to drink tonight." Now that Qiu Dashan has returned to the court, he is not afraid that this is a Hongmen banquet. Unless Dajun Qiu wants to die, he doesn't want his wife and children to live.
Ning Hai nodded and said, "Okay."
In the evening, Qiu Dashan prepared a table of snacks. And wine is naturally the strongest knife wine. Drinking it in other places, I always feel that it doesn't taste like this. Only in Tongcheng, it is enough to drink it.
After a glass of wine, Qiu Dashan asked: "When did you know your life experience?"
Ning Hai has always been very grateful to Qiu Dashan. Without Qiu Dashan, he had been killed by Yan Wushuang: "When the accident happened in my family, I was seven years old. I just ran into bandits during exile, and I was the only one who escaped by chance." This meant that he had not lost his memory. . Therefore, there is no such thing as forgetting one's life experience.
"Since you always remember your own life experience, why have you kept it secret?"
Ning Hai was silent and said, "I have been hunting with my foster father since I was ten years old. Anyone who is negligent while hunting will kill me. My family’s death was caused by the Song family brothers. Before the Song family was destroyed, I will not Dare to tell others about your life experience."
"Then why didn't you say that after entering Beijing?"
Ning Hai asked back: "Do you think Yan Wushuang knows that I am Yuxi's uncle, do I still live to this day?"
When Qiu Dashan heard this, he was silent. Yan Wushuang has always been suspicious of Ning Hai, not only hasn't entrusted him with important tasks, but has always suppressed him. Of course, the facts proved that Yan Wushuang's intuition was right.
Ning Hai raised his head to drink a glass of wine, put down the glass, and said: "In fact, I didn't think about recognizing Yuxi at first. It was only an accident to let Han Jianming go. But because of this accident, Yan Wushuang took my head down. Step on the ground. General, do you know? At that time, I felt that I was not as good as a dog." When I said this, my voice was very low.
This matter has always been a thorn in Ning Hai's heart. Fortunately, this thorn has been pulled out now.
Qiu Dashan knew very well that Yan Wushuang had always been harsh on Ning Hai: "Even if Han Yuxi is not your niece, you will also betray the Third Young Master." This is not a question, but an affirmation.
Ning Hai did not deny: "The emperor is broad-minded, and Yuxi is far-sighted. Whether it is, this world belongs to them."
Qiu Dashan did not continue this heavy topic, and stated the purpose of inviting Ning Hai to drink this time: "Kui Zi, I want you to come here this time to beg you."
"You said. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." He knows Qiu Dashan's temperament and will never make him embarrassed.
Qiu Dashan said: "When I am so old, I will die. But Baoguo and Weiguo are still young, and I don't want them to be implicated by me."
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Ning Hai smiled and said, "You are too worried about this. If the emperor and the queen can't believe you, they won't let you be a lieutenant. The deadlock, as long as you can protect Tongcheng as much as before, the emperor will follow The queen will not treat you badly."
"Really?" The main reason was that he had heard too much negative news about Yuxi, which made him worried that Yuxi would attack their family.
Ning Hai said, "I promise with the top head." It is rumored that Yuxi was too narrow-minded to tolerate people, even the meritorious officials who followed Yun Qing. But the fact is just the opposite. Yuxi not only has the broad mind of the sea.
With these words, Qiu Dashan felt relieved.
By the beginning of spring, Feng Dajun's old injuries recurred. After Yun Qing learned about it, he immediately issued an imperial decree and summoned him to return to Beijing to recover from his injuries. Ning Hai was appointed as the guard of Tongcheng. The position he vacated was topped by Zaozao.
In the past few months, Zaozao has fully demonstrated its strength. In the military camp, strength is the respect, even if Zaozao is a daughter, her appointment as a vice general in Tongcheng did not cause any disturbance in the army.
The higher you stand, the greater the responsibility. As the defender of Tongcheng, Ning Hai not only wanted to improve the living conditions of the soldiers, but also wanted to replace their weapons and equipment with new ones.
Qiu Dashan naturally knew about this, and said with a smile: "You don't want money or food or weapons and equipment, and you're not afraid that the emperor will bother you." In fact, he used to do this often.
The crying child has milk to drink! Always fold up, the upper head will never ignore it. More or less, I will give some.
Ning Hai said: "I'm annoying, I have to say it. By the way, why are you free to come over to me today?" No matter what, Qiu Dashan would not come to him.
Qiu Dashan said, "I have nothing to do in the past few days, and I want to ask you to drink two glasses." They are not bad drinkers, and one or two drinks will be fine.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "Okay."
When drinking, talk about everything. Naturally, I also talked about my children. Qiu Dashan said, "This girl, don't marry too far. Otherwise, it won't be easy to see each other." His little daughter, I'm afraid I won't see him again in this life.
Although he does not regret marrying his daughter to Yan Hengli, he feels especially guilty when he sees Madam Chou crying for her daughter.
Ning Hai smiled and said, "My two daughters must have been married in the capital." Even if they are released later, the roots will always come back in the capital.
The two of them were talking about family affairs while drinking. After talking for a long time, Qiu Dashan changed the topic and said: "Kuizi, the third young master will regret Tongcheng in a short time. I hope you don't hate the past, so that he can stay in Tongcheng." If Ning Hai wants to kill because of the past. After Yan Wushuang, he couldn't protect Yan Wushuang's.
Ning Hai was startled, and asked in a deep voice: "Does the emperor and the queen know about this?"
"It's their approval." He actually guessed that Yan Wushuang might return to the Central Plains, but he didn't expect to do so in this way.
Ning Hai said with a loud voice, "Since the emperor and the empress agreed, as long as he doesn't mess up, I won't find fault." The empress empress can let Yan Wushuang let go of her previous grievances and let him come to Tongcheng. There must be an agreement between the two. And he naturally wouldn't fight against Yuxi.
With this, Qiu Dashan was relieved.
Half a month later, Ning Hai received Tie Honglin's letter. After reading the letter, Ning Hai frowned.
A Shao asked: "General, what's the matter? Did he fail the third?" Not long ago, Tie Honglin finished the scientific expedition, and the result should come out after such a long time.
"Passed the exam."
Shao didn't understand, should it be a happy thing to pass the exam? Why does his general seem to be a little worried!
Ning Hai said: "It's just a children's exam, so he took more than 30 exams. I'm afraid it's very sad for the township exam."
If you pass the entrance examination, you can go further in the future. But if it's difficult to even recruit people, don't think about Jinshi.
A Shao feels that the talents are already very good. It's just that he thought about it in his heart, and didn't dare to say it.
The people of the Tie family have the same ideas as Asho. After learning that Tie Honglin was admitted as a talent, Chunni and his wife were overjoyed. To this end, I would like to put a few tables to celebrate. In the end, Tie Honglin stopped him.
"Daddy, Aniang, I won't be able to drink wine until I pass the exam." Scholars are not uncommon in their county, and there will be a batch of them every year. To mention people, their county may not have one in three years. Tie Honglin thought that only if he passed the exam for Juren, he would be regarded as Guangzong Yaozu and qualified for wine.
Chunni smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, we won't be too late when you get Juren in the exam." After Juren passed the exam, Hong Lin is the master of Juren, and she is also the mother of the grandfather of Juren. Think about it, Chunni thinks it's pretty.
In the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Tiehu and Hongbo returned with a few children.
This time, Hongbo repeated the old saying: "Mother, you and my father will go to the county seat! As long as you two stay in the country, Honglin and I are not at ease." He said this many times, Ke Chun Ni and Duan Dongzi couldn't let go of all these things at home.
Chunni hesitated: "I'm leaving with your father, what should I do with the house and fields? Who will take care of it?"
Honglin said, "Mother, it's fine to leave the house under the care of others. As for the field, let others grow it. Father and mother, you can live in the county with your eldest brother! So I can study in Shengjing with peace of mind. ."
Since Tiehu took the children to the county seat, the house was deserted. Used to the hustle and bustle, Chunni feels empty now, and she is also thinking about whether to go to the county town these days.
Tiehu looked at her like this and immediately decided: "You arrange everything at home, and you will go to the county with us in a few days."
Chunni looked at Duan Dongzi and asked, "The kid is his father, what do you think?"
When Duan Dongzi saw this, he said hurriedly: "Father, what can we do when we go to the county seat? We don't know how to do anything except farming." He is only in his forties, and he doesn't want to take care of it now. The son has the promise to support them, but he doesn't want to be an idler.
Hongbo smiled and said, "This is easy. Let's buy two or three acres of land outside the county seat. At that time, you will have nothing to do with your father and mother." He doesn't object to Chunni and Duan Dongzi farming, but they are too far apart. Far, if the two of them have a headache, they can't take care of it.
The fields outside the county seat are always in demand. It is not easy to buy a hundred and eighty acres, but it is not difficult to buy two or three acres of land for Hongbo, who is the master book.
Seeing that Duan Dongzi was shaken, Hongbo said, "I will do this when I return to the county seat."
I am also afraid of going to the county town to do nothing, and I will be too idle when the time comes. Now there are fields for planting, it's good to live with the children in the county town.
Duan Dongzi glanced at Chunni, and saw her nodding: "Okay, then we will go to the county with you."
Seeing that they both agreed to go to the county seat, Tiehu was also very happy: "After you have eaten, you can ask Xia Ershui if you want two more acres of land. If they don't want it, you can rent it to others to plant it." All of the fields were confiscated by the court and distributed to poor people. But like the Tie family, which only had 20 acres of fertile land and a few acres, they didn't expropriate it.
Chun Ni smiled and said, "Okay."
Going to the county town is not easy to raise chickens, so Chunni immediately went to catch a chicken and killed it. As a daughter-in-law, Fu naturally also went into the kitchen to help.
Fu and Chun Ni get along very well, and she hopes that Chun Ni can go to the county seat so that her husband doesn't have to worry about it.
