Chapter 15 Xu Han awarded the reward, trouble is coming
The return of the male master was a happy event for the servants of the Xu residence.
Not long ago, these little servants were still secretly speculating about whether there was a male master in the mansion. Now that the man has really appeared, the doubts in their hearts have been put aside, and they can finally be born and work in the mansion in the future.
Xu Han didn't know what the servant in the family thought. After breakfast, the family of five gathered around the table to talk. After a while, it was time for a few children to study. Brother and sister Lin Tianlei were reluctant to part and pouted.
Looking at Lin Liangchen's face, Lin Liangchen thought for a while, "Today, when your father comes back, I will give you a day off, but the homework that Mr.
"It's my mother." Brother and sister Lin Tianlei happily thanked Lin Liangchen.
Before Lin Liangchen could finish speaking, the three brothers and sisters dragged Xu Han away. Xu Han glanced at Lin Liangchen and left with the three children happily.
The father and son left on the front foot, and Lin Liangchen on the back foot ordered Shuilian to ask for leave from the husband who taught Lin Tianlei and the three brothers and sisters, and asked Shuilian to bring some of her newly-made scented tea.
Shuilian conveyed Lin Liangchen's words as she wished, and the teacher of the three brothers and sisters Lin Tianlei asked the reason, thanked Lin Liangchen for thinking of their husband and wife, and turned back to her small yard.
Shuilian lingered outside the door for a while, then left quickly. In the yard, Sheng Yuan handed the scented tea that Lin Liangchen asked Shuilian to send to his wife, "This is the scented tea just sent by Lin Dong's family. Warm the heart and moisten the lungs, you can drink and drink."
Sheng Yuan's wife glanced at her and frowned, "It's not easy for Lady Lin, so let's take her things often."
Sheng Yuan, who was the teacher of Lin Tianlei's children, naturally knew the situation in the family of Lin Tianlei's three brothers and sisters, and learned that Lin Liangchen was a woman with three children in the capital, and there was no man beside him, so he was naturally a little sympathetic.
After Sheng Yuan became a teacher, he arranged for the couple to live there, as soon as they had something. They are often sent here. They are not only comprehensive, but also very good at life. Sheng Yuan's wife Qin is an indifferent person. Naturally, my goodwill towards Lin Liangchen's actions increased greatly, and over time, they became familiar with each other, and sometimes they would sit and talk together.
Although the thing is small, it expresses a person's feelings. To complain about his wife, Sheng Yuan coughed awkwardly, "If you take it, you can't let me send it back. Besides, it's not the right time for me to appear now. ."
"What do you mean?" Qin shi looked over.
Sheng Yuan explained it again, and Qin Shi pretended to think deeply for a while, "So it is.
"
It's a good thing that Mrs. Lin and the man can come back.
Said a few words about his man. Qin Shi still accepted the package of scented tea.
On this day, although Xu Han was about to fight with his eyelids, he still managed to get up and play with the children for half a day. After lunch, he fell asleep with his head on the pillow.
At this time, in the Lu Mansion, the Ji family was under the low pressure from Lu Yi, and the couple remained silent. Sikong Xiao, who was at the dinner table, lost his mind to eat, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the couple.
Seeing this from Sikongxiao, the Ji family was rather unnatural, so she asked the girl to step back and prepare food for Lu Yi herself. When Ji's chopsticks reached into his bowl, Lu Yi said indifferently, "I'm full."
An obvious slap in the face, Ji's face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at Si Xiao next to him anxiously. She pursed her lips and asked the maid to remove the food.
Sikong Xiao was embarrassed for a while. When he didn't know how to retreat, Lu Yi called him away, "Cousin, what were you doing just now?"
Lu Yi didn't speak, and said lightly, "I didn't ask you to come here because I heard you say this."
Sikong Xiao retracted his emotions, "I know, let's go to the study and talk."
The troops from the south have returned to Beijing, but the war in the north is still in a hot stage. At this time, they cannot be allowed to relax, and now they are also ordered to come up with good methods.
If the war is not over before October, the war between Jin and Yugo that day will undoubtedly be lost. At that time, things will become unmanageable, and the huge Tian Jin will become a fish to be slaughtered.
At this moment, outside the Lingjiu Pass, there was a lot of wind and sand, and a war had to be truce due to a violent tornado. However, at this juncture, a group of troops, outflanking Yu County at Lingjiu Pass, instantly cut off the Tianjin army's back path.
When the reinforcements arrived, half of the 50,000 troops were damaged. Those with bad luck were swept away by the tornado, and those with good luck were all injured.
The incident was reported to the heroic general. The heroic general was furious and severely punished the guard of Yu County. Unexpectedly, the guard of Yuxian County disappeared, and his wife and children went out under the pretext of going out before the war began.
The heroic general knew that it was not good, so he went to the court and angrily rebuked the officials who had recommended the guard of Yu County. This did not quench the heroic general's anger. He launched a counterattack overnight and took back a city within three days.
The victory of this battle only inspired the momentum of the soldiers, and after half a month, it was even more vigorous to recover the two cities that were robbed.
The successive victories at the border have made the current sage very happy, and he has a lot of sympathy with the ministers in the DPRK, especially the training of the army.
At this time, Xu Han had jumped from the seventh-rank captain to the fourth-rank Xuanwei general, and received a thousand taels of silver as a reward from the current emperor.
As in the past, the rewards this year were less than before, but there was laughter and laughter all over the house, and the previous plaque was changed to the words of General Xuanwei.
And Xu Jun, who was temporarily living in Xu Han's house, also got the title of captain from the sixth grade at this time. Although he didn't make it to the sky, for Xu Jun, the five years in the military camp were not in vain.
The sudden appearance of Xu Han's number one person, the officials of the DPRK and China naturally paid great attention. For a time, the front door of Fuzhong was like a market, and the Ji family rushed to send someone to send gifts.
Lin Liangchen returned the greetings one by one. For the time being, he didn't make friends with anyone. The change in his attitude towards Ji was even more lukewarm. It was not that Lin Liangchen was too arrogant, but that Ji was capricious, and Lin Liangchen couldn't be with him. heart.
If he received Ji's post, Lin Liangchen declined one by one, and Ji came to visit. Lin Liangchen's lukewarm attitude made Ji very puzzled, "Is Liangchen not treating me as a sister-in-law?"
Lin Liangchen pulled out a smile, "Of course I did, but you have seen the situation at home, Sister Ji, I'm so busy that I don't get along at all."
There are also a lot of posts on her desktop waiting for her to reply. Although Lin Liangchen doesn't have stage fright for this kind of entertainment of a lady in the capital, it is so crowded that he really has no idea to join in the fun.
"Liang Chen. You're still bored of me. If you knew this, I shouldn't have just asked Butler Lu to help me."
"Sister Ji thought a lot, I don't blame you. You don't have to blame yourself." Lin Liangchen knew exactly what Ji's words meant, but I'm sorry, she couldn't follow her words.
When Xu Han went to the Lu Mansion to find their mother and son, Mrs. Ji left Xu Han out for a night. Lin Liangchen couldn't believe it. As the hostess of the Mansion, Mrs. Ji would not know about Xu Han's visit!
Both of them knew each other's thoughts at this time, but no one exposed them, Ji Shi sat for a while. He said goodbye and left.
Lin Liangchen sent someone to send Ji's out, silently glanced at the gift box Ji sent, and silently put the things in the warehouse.
Lin Liangchen's side was overwhelmed, and Xu Han's side was close to a lot of people. In particular, Xu Han has been promoted a few levels this time. According to the gimmick, he will have great achievements in the future. Besides, Xu Han is still young, and in his 30th year, he has achieved the fourth grade by himself, and there are still thousands of people. Stand out, its ability can be imagined.
a time. Most of them put their eyes on Xu Han. Of course, there are not many who are better than Xu Han, but there are only a handful of people who can become generals in their 30s.
It is even more valuable. Xu Han is still from the countryside.
Xu Han was originally a cold-hearted person, so naturally he didn't care about the compliments of others. He refused all entertainment and invitations one by one. Except for the days in the army, he mostly stayed at home during his rest time. Never go out.
On the contrary, Xu Jun, who is from the sixth rank, seems to be busier than Xu Han. Except for training, he is often dragged to socialize. Xu Han sees it in his eyes and does not discourage him.
With the change of Xu Han's identity, more and more people are interested in Xu Han's life experience, of course, the more low-key Xu Han is, the more he is pushed to the cusp of the storm, but these rumors will fade away within a few days.
Apart from the change in identity, there has not been much change in the family. To talk about the change, only Lin Liangchen has finally started his business.
There are countless wealthy people in the capital, there are dowry shops, and there are also Zhuangzi people. It can't be more. It is not uncommon for Lin Liangchen to want to have his own property, and Xu Han did not object, and said to Lin Liangchen. Just let her not worry too much, ask her how she can help, and let her go.
However, Xu Han still has a little inferiority in his heart. After all, no man likes to be raised by his daughter-in-law. Although he has a salary now, in the capital where prices have skyrocketed and everything is expensive, Xu Han is embarrassed for that meager salary. Say to your daughter-in-law and children, I will feed you.
When I just finished discussing business with Xu Han, I saw him with a straight face and said nothing, stopped what he was doing, blinked, and asked with a strange face: "What's the matter with you, Xianggong?"
Could it be that he was uncomfortable? He put his hand on Xu Han's forehead, felt it, and said to himself, "It's okay, are you tired from training?"
Xu Han took Lin Liangchen into his arms and let her sit on his lap, his forehead suddenly buried on Lin Liangchen's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Daughter-in-law, let me hug."
This coquettish tone made Lin Liangchen laugh involuntarily, patted Xu Han on the shoulder, and then remained silent.
The couple enjoyed the warm time that didn't take long, and Shuilian's hurried footsteps approached quickly. Because Lin Liangchen had previously sent back the six children who were serving, and now there were only the couple left in the house, Shuilian hurried in and followed Lin. When Liangchen reported the matter, he happened to break through the scene of Xu Han holding Lin Liangchen.
Shuilian's face blushed to the soles of her feet, and she shrugged and went out. When Lin Liangchen's summons came from inside, she lowered her head and entered the room.
"What was the urgency of Shuilian just now?"
At this moment, Lin Liangchen had already sat back to his previous position, and Xu Han had recovered his ice cube face, Shui Lian lowered her head, and her heart beat fast to tell Lin Liangchen and his wife what she was going to report, and did not dare to stay any longer. , to go out.
"Shuilian, wait a minute, make it clear, what exactly is going on with what you just said?"
Xu Han's sharp eyes also swept towards Shui Lian, Shui Lian felt the icy gaze, she felt even more panic, lowered her head and said, "There is a woman outside who said she wants to take care of the second master, and she is still arguing at the gate of our house. It's a riot, saying that if the second master doesn't go out, she will die at the gate of our mansion."
These two masters, of course, are talking about Xu Jun.
Although Xu Jun and Xu Han are not related by blood, they have been brothers for so many years and their friendship is still there. Most people in the house call Xu Jun the second master.
Lin Liangchen looked at Xu Han in surprise, got up together, went to the gate, and went to see the woman who Shui Lian said was making trouble at the gate.
Because Xu Han has recently been a popular figure in the capital, so now, watching the show at General Xuanwei's mansion, there are servants outside the mansion to maintain order, and the woman is not allowed to enter.
As soon as Xu Han and his wife appeared, the servants who maintained the order saluted one after another. Xu Han was silent, and three or five servants withdrew together. Lin Liangchen followed behind, glanced at the crowd, and stepped forward to meet the one who was still making trouble. The woman said: "If you have anything to say, come into the mansion and say it."
Lin Liangchen didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people.
When the woman heard what Lin Liangchen said, she turned around instantly and looked at Lin Liangchen with a pear blossom and rain, her shy and pleasant appearance was reflected in Lin Liangchen's eyes, she restrained her sigh, and said again: "What's wrong with the girl? Let's talk about it in the mansion, it's not good for the girl's reputation if it is so noisy."
Their foundation in the capital is unstable, and if they are not careful, they may be pushed into the cusp of the storm. The capital is not like a village, and it is difficult to explain clearly.
The beautiful woman hesitated for a while, and soon followed Lin Liangchen into the mansion. The people watching outside had no good show, so naturally they dispersed.
"Girl, please sit down."
Greeting the beautiful woman to sit down, Lin Liangchen asked about the woman's intentions. As soon as the woman heard Lin Liangchen's post, she burst into tears, and tremblingly told Lin Liangchen about her and Xu Jun's affairs .
Xu Han was silent with a livid face. Lin Liangchen gave Shuilian several glances secretly while listening. Before the beautiful woman was not paying attention, Shuilian quickly stepped down.
"I was originally well-intentioned. Who knows... Who knows, I was sullied by Xu Xiaowei. After inquiring in every way, I found out that the person that day was Xu Xiaowei." piece of jewelry.
Lin Liangchen didn't know what accessories Xu Jun was wearing, but when he saw Xu Han's gloomy face next to him, staring at the thing in the woman's hand, he understood a little.
He was flustered in his heart, his attitude changed, and he questioned which beautiful woman with a very stern tone, "Girl, you said that after inquiring in every possible way, you found out that that person was my second brother, but the girl in front said that it was night, girl. How can I see my second brother's face? How can I pick up what my second brother dropped?"
Obviously, this doesn't fit well. Besides, as far as Lin Liangchen knows, even if Xu Junzhen goes out to socialize, he will come back every day in a well-dressed manner. If Xu Junzhen is drunk, logically, there will be a girl in the house to report to her. The fact that the master was drunk, of course, Lin Liangchen didn't hear any sound for so long.
