When Xu Lingyi and others entered, Xu Sijin was sitting next to the Madam. Fu Er was talking to the Madam. The Madam was smiling and nodding her head in agreement. The atmosphere was harmonious and warm, where could there be more?

A little bit of the tension just now.

Seeing them coming in, the Madam's smile gradually faded, and she gently pulled Xu Sijin's sleeves to indicate that someone was coming and not to say anything further.

Xu Sijin hurriedly stopped the topic, smiled and stepped forward with Brother Shen and Brother Cheng to salute Xu Lingyi and others.

Everyone sat down in order.

The maids served tea.

Mrs. Tai asked Eleven Niang: "Brother Jin, your clothes are all packed up. You are obviously relieved."

Everyone was relieved, or surprised, or funny, or glanced at Xu Sijin helplessly.

Everything was packed up. According to Xu Lingyi's instructions, the maid left all her belongings without utensils. Even the clothes she usually changed for washing were only coarse clothes. Don't forget, he went to the guardhouse as a commoner.

Yes, the details cannot be revealed. For this reason, Eleven Niang specially asked Qiu Ju to help her go to the market and buy some short brown ones.

But this cannot be said to the madam.

If the wife suddenly wants to take a look at Xu Sijin's cage, wouldn't there be another disturbance?

It's being tidied up. Eleven Niang left a step aside and it will be finished in the next two days.

There are some things that you can't buy even if you have money. The maids Ah Jin and Ying Tao can just follow them. Bring a few more capable women and take Master Pang with them.

Yes, you won’t suffer a loss

Eleven Niang responded with a busy smile.

Mrs. Tai said to Xu Lingkuan again, I remember that you are very good with someone in the official department. You can go say hello tomorrow and ask him to talk to the Chief Envoy of Guizhou. Then our brother Jin will also go and find a door.

.The mountains are high and the roads are far away, but when encountering inconveniences, there is still someone to consult with.

Fourth brother is familiar with the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs. He didn’t ask about fourth brother, but he asked about me.

Xu Lingkuan murmured in his heart, glanced at Xu Lingyi, who looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's a matter from the Ministry of Personnel. I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

The madam nodded with satisfaction, her eyes falling on Ying Niang.

No movement yet? Mrs. Tai is a little worried. What did Po Wen say?

It is said that it is the first child, it is normal to have it earlier or later. Eleven Niang said with a smile.

Mrs. Tai asked about Mrs. Xiang again, but she didn't even look at Xu Lingyi from beginning to end.

The fifth lady returned home and bent over with a smile: Fourth uncle has probably never been so embarrassed at his age.

What nonsense are you talking about in front of the children? Xu Lingkuan himself couldn't stop laughing. Looking at Brother Xian and Brother Cheng, he had no choice but to teach the fifth lady a lesson with a straight face.

I didn't apologize to the Fifth Madam, but I didn't have any sincerity. I pulled my two sons to my side with a smile. Brother Jin said something to your grandmother, but your grandmother immediately changed her mind.

Brother Cheng rushed to say: "Brother Six said that he wants to go to Guizhou to find gold mines or do medicine business, but he has no money. If he decides to do something, ask his grandmother to give him some money. When he makes money, give it to him."

Grandma made a gold headband. Grandma was very happy when she heard it. She also quietly asked Brother Six how much silver he wanted. If it was not enough, there were gold bars.

Xu Lingyi couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.

This brother Jin really knows how to make the old lady happy.

The fifth lady felt sour in her heart and couldn't help but glance at Brother Xian.

Brother Cheng is too young to be compared, but Brother Xian is only one year younger than Brother Jin. Compared with other children, he can be considered smart and alert. How come he is so short compared to Brother Jin?

A bit of cleverness

Brother Xian misunderstood what his mother meant and thought she was asking him if what Brother Cheng said was true.

Mom, don’t listen to what my brother Luàn said. He smiled and said, Grandma was happy. It was the sixth brother who said that the fourth uncle agreed to let him go to Guizhou because there were barbarians there who wanted to make military exploits. The fourth uncle was fighting against the Miao Yi in Huguang.

He made great achievements. Then he said he would go to Guizhou to find gold mines and start a medicinal business.

If you can find a gold mine, with Xu Lingyi's ability, it's not a matter of words to turn it into a private mine. It is a business without capital. If you don't make a lot of money, you can't find a gold mine and start a medicine business.

, with the protection of the Guizhou General Soldier, not to mention anything else, even the money that can be saved by managing the inspection department along the way is not a small amount.

Thinking of this, after sending the child to the baptismal school, the fifth lady asked Xu Lingkuan: Fifth Master, do you think it would be good to let Brother Xian go out as well?

Brother Xian is still too young. Xu Lingkuan shook his head. Besides, he can take over my position. Our family is not short of food and clothing. Why let him go down there and suffer? Let Brother Cheng go. He said

, smiled and said, when our Brother Cheng grows up, Brother Jin may have become a familiar figure, and then we can just go and join him.

The fifth lady couldn't help but frown.

Brother Cheng is shy and timid, how can he do it outside?

Instead of relying on Brother Jin, it is better to rely on Brother Xian. She said solemnly, after all, Brother Cheng and Brother Xian are from the same mother.

Xu Lingkuan didn't like hearing this. His face darkened: The fourth brother is still in charge of the house.

But when a tree branches out, people will divide their families. This is human nature.

What else did the Fifth Madam want to say? A little maid hurriedly ran in. Fifth Madam, go over there quickly. It’s happening.

Ah, the fifth lady was very surprised. At this time, she glanced at Xu Lingkuan. I will go over and take a look.

Xu Lingkuan coughed twice softly.

The fifth lady changed her clothes and went to Yingniang's place, surrounded by her maids.

The lights in Nongxiang Courtyard were brightly lit, and Eleventh Mother Jiang had already arrived. She was sitting in the hall accompanied by Xu Sijie. The maids and old ladies were boiling water, preparing the baby's clothes and white quilt, and preparing clothes and baggage. People came and went, but there were no

panic luàn.

Seeing the fifth lady coming in, Xu Sijie stood up and called out to the fifth lady.

The fifth lady nodded and asked the eleventh lady: What's wrong?

It has just begun. Eleventh Mother asked Madam Five to sit down on the Taishi chair aside. It was still early.

While talking, Xu Sijie stretched his neck and looked into the inner room.

Eleven Niang looked funny: She won't give birth tonight. You can find a place to rest. We are here.

Xu Si, who had never violated Eleven Niang's commandments, naturally did not dare to stay any longer, but he was still thinking about Ying Niang, so he stood under the eaves and waited.

Xiang had just rested and got up again after hearing the news. He was helped over by his maid. He happened to see Xu Sijie wandering under the eaves, and he couldn't help but call out "Fifth Uncle" in surprise.

Xu Sijie hurriedly explained: My mother and fifth aunt are both in the hall, so I am waiting here.

Their brothers are very kind to their wives.

It was freezing outside. Mrs. Xiang smiled and asked him to come in to avoid the cold.

Xu Sijie didn't dare to go in: I put on my cloak and left.

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing when she heard the movement.

But he was negligent.

Let Hu Bo call Xu Sijie in: Seeing how Ying Niang is doing, it would be great to give birth tomorrow night. I'm afraid that if you keep guarding her like this, you won't be able to support her at the critical moment. Since you want to guard her, guard her here.

Bar

Xu Sijie smiled sheepishly and was about to say something when Ying Niang's low moans came from the inner room. His expression tightened and he ran to the door curtain and called Ying Niang: "I, I am very anxious outside."

Everyone laughed.

Eleven Niang comforted him: It's okay, it's okay. Po Wen just came out and said that Ying Niang's condition is very good.

Xu Sijie smiled horribly.

A little maid came in: The Marquis sent someone to ask how the fifth young lady was doing.

It's good. Eleven Niang smiled and told Mr. Hou not to worry; it is estimated that the baby will be born tomorrow.

The little maid left in response and reported to Xu Lingyi.

Xu Lingyi thought that Eleven Niang might not be able to come back tonight, so she went to Xu Sijin's place.

Xu Sijin was practicing calligraphy under the lamp.

After saluting, Xu Lingyi sat on the kang opposite him and picked up the calligraphy practice

Neat and orderly, without any detail.

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly and told him in a low voice: Gong Dongning is eleven years older than me. When you go, just call him Shibo. He seems to have a hot temper and acts recklessly without rules; in fact, he is a rough and fine person.

, when you deal with him, don’t judge people by their appearance: I have already made an agreement with him directly to place you in the Pingyi Qianhu Office in Pu’anwei. It was originally the Sichuan Dusi, and later it was changed to the Guizhou Dusi. The barbarians make up the majority.

It's also very poor. You moved there as an ordinary military household. After you go there, see more, think more, do more, and if there is anything, try to solve it yourself. He said with a smile, of course, if you can't stand it, you can write

When the letter comes back, our agreement will be cancelled. You can also find a way to do something famous early, so that if you win the bet, you can move to a better place.

Daddy, you don’t have to provoke me. Xu Sijin clenched his fist. I will definitely win.

Xu Lingyi looked at his confident look and couldn't help but touched his head, brat

Xu Sijin grinned and said: Will he follow me in Chang'an?

You can go or not. Xu Lingyi said clearly and pointedly: Manager Bai is the person who has served me since I was a child. Later, when I was leading the army, I entrusted all the family affairs to him. You are going to Guizhou this time.

, how to arrange things in your house; you can make up your own mind. If you have decided, tell me, whoever goes with you, I will give him a military loan. If he has military exploits with you in the future, he can also benefit for himself.

a future.

Xu Sijin's eyes lit up. With military credit, he could gain a foothold in the garrison. If he had military merit and good luck, it would be possible to create a hereditary thousand households.

His father treated him with good intentions.

He looked at Xu Lingyi seriously and nodded.

The next day I called in all the boys around me.

Daddy has already made arrangements. I am going to Pu'an Weiping Station in Guizhou as an ordinary military household. It is not convenient for me to take you there. You can stay in Yanjing.

"Sixth Young Master, how can you do that?" Suifeng immediately shouted, "Listen to the name, it must be a place with mountains and ravines. You are there alone, there is no one to bring tea or water, how can you do that?"
