Mrs. Qin hurriedly said: "It's not about thinking about Brother Qiang, it's about complaining, saying that a brother is born with that appearance, he is more beautiful than a girl, it is really unreasonable! He also said that only such a person is worthy of her Sister Ziyu."

Mrs. Yin Jiatai was relieved when she heard the words, looked at Sun Shi and smiled and said, "What do you think is wrong with Qiang'er?"

Sun said with a smile: "There are too many people around..."

The women of the Yin family laughed, and Qiao said, "Is there anyone who doesn't like that?"

Mrs. Yin Jiatai said: "He has two houses for one person, and there is no way for him to be the only one in the huge Ningguo Mansion."

Sun looked at Yin Ziyu lovingly, and said, "I understand, but I don't have any other requirements. I just want this child to spend more time with Ziyu, and miss her more."

The Yin family is not considered a big family, and Mrs. Yin's family is very strict in family education. She is allowed to take a concubine in name, but it is only in name.

The Yin family has two sons and five grandchildren, and there is no concubine, so the family is harmonious.

But have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running?

Over the years, Mrs. Sun has also seen a lot of how the women in the family's high school live. They seem to respect the dignitaries, but only they know the pain inside.

Yin Ziyu looked at her mother with a smile, and shook her head slightly.

Mrs. Yin Jiatai laughed and said, "If Ziyu had a lively temperament, I would not agree to this marriage either."

Sun's eyes were slightly red, and said: "Although that is the case, it is a girl..."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman in charge came in from the outside with a letterhead, and said with a smile: "It's amazing, a letter was sent in earlier, saying that it was sent back by the Hou Ye of the Jia family for the girl. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the room laughed and looked at the letter eagerly.

Mrs. Yin's wife repelled Yin Han's offer to unpack it for her. After Yin Ziyu went to pick it up, Sun, Qin, Qiao and several lively sister-in-laws all came forward, ignoring Mrs. Yin's laughing and cursing. After Yin Ziyu opened the envelope, he saw that there were two and a half poems written on the letter. Qiao recited:

"The hard work is the most pity for the sky and the moon. The past is like a ring, and the past and the past have become a ring. If it is like the moon's end, it will be bright and clean, and the ice and snow will be warm."

This is the Ci Pai "Butterfly Love Flower".

Another cloud:

"One journey through the mountains, one journey through the water, walking towards the bank of Yuguan, with thousands of lamps in the middle of the night.

As soon as the wind changes, the snow changes, and the dreams of the hometown are broken, and there is no such sound in the hometown. "

This is the Ci Pai "Long Lovesickness".

The women of the Yin family didn't know much about these things, so they hurriedly asked Yin Han who was studying in the Imperial College. After Yin Han explained it with a complex expression, Mrs. Yin Jiatai asked, "Is the writing okay?"

Qin said with a smile: "We don't understand this poem or that word, little six, you like to write these on weekdays. Brother Qiang is Wuhou, so you can't write poems better than you?"

Yin Han covered his heart, and said with bitterness on his face: "Auntie, hurry up...don't say anything! It's incomparable, it's so pissing off!!"

Yin Hu was born as a Jinshi, and said with a smile on the side: "The Great Yan Ding has been established for a hundred years, these two ques... the last one is fine, it's only half a que, and it's too nasty, but the second one can be ranked among the top three in the country. .”

This evaluation caused everyone to exclaim.

After "tsk tsk tsk" for a long time, Qiao's teeth almost became sore, she squinted at Yin Ziyu and said, "Good sister-in-law, just laugh if you want to!"

Hearing this, Yin Ziyu was not shy or shy, but smiled generously, with a hint of Empress Yin's peerless look, her eyes were as bright as the moon.

She told Jia Qiang that apart from medical books in her life, she only had a soft spot for poetry.

She likes this half-word very much.

Seeing the smile on Yin Ziyu's face, Mrs. Sun seemed to be infected and laughed too...

……

Xuan Mansion, General Military Mansion.

In the back house, after washing, Jia Qiang followed Hua An to see Madam Hou Liu.

I heard that Jia Qiang came to help the Marquis of Huai'an day and night, and became Hua'an's life-and-death brother again. Even Hua Wen thought that the whole family was good, so the Liu family naturally treated each other kindly.

Not only did they warmly entertain them, they also called out Hua An's two younger sisters to meet him.

This became a real family bond.

Sending charcoal in a timely manner has always been risky and rewarding.

Of course, besides being grateful for the Hua family's investment, they also needed Jia Qiang's great help.

After dinner on New Year's Eve, Mrs. Liu led her two daughters to leave the table. After Jia Qiang wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she looked at Hua Wen and asked, "Uncle Shi, since Uncle Shi can guard against the first wave of internal and external attacks, it means that Uncle Shi I still have some doubts in my heart. So which family is so crazy that it committed treason by cooperating with the inside and outside?"

Hua Wen said in a deep voice: "It was the shopkeeper of a warehouse near the south gate of the Fan family who colluded with one of the three gatekeepers at the south gate. Something big is going to happen."

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "Fan Family, Jiexiu Fan Family?"

Hua Wen nodded and said: "Exactly, the Fan family is very powerful in Xuanfu. When Xuan Dehou was here, they married the Dong family. Not only that, the Fan family's in-laws were all over the court. Concubine. The entire Xuanfu's real power generals, there is no one who is not good with the Fan family and takes the money from the Fan family. And it is not a small amount, but a real pile of gold and silver. So when something happened to the Fan family, everyone thought it was not Fan. The fault of the Patriarch. After all, the Fan family’s head office is in the Xuanfu. If the Xuanfu is broken, will the Mongols spare their lives? Besides, the Mongols came here by killing and looting. If the Fan family colluded with them, would they still want to move outside the Great Wall? Therefore, these people said that the Fan family would definitely not do such a thing."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "For real merchants, there is nothing in this world that cannot be bought and sold, it depends on whether the price offered by the other party is high enough. Besides, the Fan family can collude with the city gatekeeper to rebel. Ye Tan, is the Fan family not responsible? Uncle Shi, who are the people in the city who protect the Fan family?"

Hua Wen said in a deep voice: "Vice Chief Soldier Hou Jie, two of the seven generals, Sun Bu and Li Zhong, all three are related to the Fan family."

Hua An added from the side: "Today, the Fan family worshiped their ancestors on New Year's Eve, and they were all invited to go."

Jia Qiang wondered, "Shouldn't the ancestral hall of the Fan family be in Shanxi? How could it be in Xuanfu?"

Hua Wen said: "The ancestral land of the Fan family is naturally in Jiexiu. It is just a small Jiexiu. How can the flourishing Fan family flourish? Each of the eight Jin merchant families has its own place of prosperity. It is where the general name is, and the ancestral hall is also located there. Except for the return to the ancestral land every ten major sacrifices, the rest are all in the general name to worship the ancestors."

Jia Qiang pondered for a while, and said: "Now that soldiers and horses are fighting outside the city, and [-] troops are besieging the city, the Fan family still wants to worship their ancestors?"

Hua Wen shook his head and said, "Xu just wanted to show that his mind is upright..."

Jia Qiang asked again: "Is there any shortage of food and rice in the city?"

Huawen nodded solemnly and said, "Que."

Jia Qiang asked again: "How much is the soldier's salary, is there any debt?"

Hua Wen smiled wryly and shook his head, "It's [-]% of the payment, and it's been four months in arrears... If the soldiers didn't rely on doing coolies to carry bags and unload goods for the Fan family, they wouldn't be able to support their families. In addition, there are not many ordnance in the arsenal in the city. Arrows, bowstrings, knives, and pig iron are all insufficient, and this matter is the most difficult."

Jia Qiang frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. I heard from Li Zisheng before I came that this year, Xuanfu's military equipment is the most sufficient among the nine towns, so the court does not worry about your lack of weapons. How could this be?"

Hua Wen shook his head and said, "When I took over the Xuanfu's inspection of the arsenal, there wasn't much inventory in the arsenal."

Hua An said angrily, "It must be that the imperial court withheld their hands again, and some people in Xuan Town stole and sold them on the grassland..."

Jia Qiang nodded, and finally asked: "Uncle Shi, how many people can you really use? The ones who have seen blood."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table froze violently.
