Marshal, your wife is trying to die again

"Xiang Xi is here too?" Uncle Hai also heard about the two of them, and now looking at her, his eyes and tone changed.

"Hello, Uncle Hai." Xiang Xi nodded his head in greeting.

"Okay, okay." Uncle Hai seemed as happy as seeing his own granddaughter-in-law.

The three of them sat down and chatted about family affairs. Seeing Xiang Xi looking around frequently, Uncle Hai asked, "Are you looking for Xiang Jing?"

Hearing this, Xiang Xi smiled embarrassedly, "Yeah, I haven't sent a letter for a long time, I want to see how he is doing now."

When Uncle Hai heard this, he waved his hand happily, and there were already soldiers behind to call for someone.

When it was time to eat at noon, Xiang Jing finally rushed back all covered in dirt. As soon as he entered the door, Xiang Xi didn't even realize who the person in front of him was.

He has grown taller, at least half of his head, his skin is darker, his eyes are brighter, and he has an aura that has never appeared before.

Xiang Xi still can't believe it, this is her younger brother Xiang Jing.

"Sister!" He exclaimed excitedly.

"Go wash it first and see how it looks." Ji Xiuyuan said with disgust.

"Yes!" He raised his breath suddenly, saluted a standard military salute, then turned and ran.

After the people left, Xiang Xi turned his head and asked in disbelief, "That was Xiaojing just now?"

Ji Xiuyuan nodded, "That's right, it's him."

This time, she was sure.

Xiang Jing's speed was very fast, and when he came back, his body was completely new. Obviously, in the army, his bathing speed was also much faster.

"Report to the young commander, Xiang Jing has been cleaned up!"

Ji Xiuyuan waved his hand, "Okay, don't be poor, today is just a simple family banquet, sit down and get ready to eat."

"Yes, brother-in-law!"

Xiang Xi, "..." Without even thinking about it, she slapped Xiang Jing on the head.

"Hey, sister, why did you hit me." He held his head, how pitiful, how pitiful.

But Xiang Xi didn't feel distressed at all, "Hehe, I've learned a lot."

"Xiaojing is right, Uncle Hai, let's serve dinner." Ji Xiuyuan said calmly beside him.

Xiang Xi's cheeks turned red immediately.

When Xiang Jing saw it, he smiled and gave Ji Xiuyuan a wink. The eyes were so bright that he could even see his sister's blush.

Ji Xiuyuan glanced at him, but didn't say anything.

Ji's family doesn't pay much attention to food and sleep, and when Xiang Jing was asked about the situation of the army by Ji Xiuyuan, he opened up the chatterbox.

"I've been suppressing bandits all the time. Speaking of which, the bandits here in Dong'an are very powerful. They didn't surrender when they saw our Ji family army. They wanted to negotiate with me at the beginning. Do you know what to negotiate?"

he asked beamingly.

Uncle Hai snorted, but he didn't show it to save face.

"I don't know, tell me quickly, don't be too tight-lipped!" Xiang Xi was blunt, and stared directly.

He chuckled, didn't hide anything, and said directly, "You actually want to negotiate with us. We will give them how much money and supplies every month in the future, and they won't go down the mountain to harass us."

Xiang Xi was also a little surprised that the bandits here are so stubborn.

"Then what did you say?" she asked.

Xiang Jing chuckled, "I didn't say anything, so I just asked them what the price was. After all, the other party had already spoken up. Wouldn't it be impolite for us not to let them finish?"

"Then they said, no more, no less, only three kilograms of gold per month. It turned out that the Luo family also paid the same price, and they didn't raise the price."

When Xiang Xi heard it, he almost didn't spit it out. No wonder these bandits are so stubborn. It turned out that they were treated like masters by the Luo family before.

Xiang Jing was in high spirits, seeing everyone looking at him, without any coercion, and then said, "I was surprised, what kind of rule is this, so I asked them, what should I do if they don't follow?"

"Hehe, what else can I do, if I don't follow, let me see how powerful they are. It just so happens that I was sent out by my brother-in-law to see the world, so I told them directly that I planned to follow, but now I don't. "

The curvature of the corners of Ji Xiuyuan's mouth gradually widened.

"Hehe, what happened next?" He continued to ask.

"It only took four hours later, and all these bandits crouched in front of us with their heads in their hands. This time, they have gained a lot of knowledge, but the ones with the longest knowledge even searched their warehouses. The golden bricks are all golden. , not a single ocean."

Speaking of this, Xiang Jing can still recall the scene he saw that day, and he is simply blinded.

Hearing this, Uncle Hai interjected, "That's right, master. These days, our military expenditure has been useless. These bandits are richer than each other."

"That's right, it's more gold than the one found in Luo's house." Xiang Jing sighed. In fact, although he was born in a merchant family, he has no idea about money. He can only use more or less to survive. describe.

When Xiang Xi heard this, he exchanged a glance with Ji Xiuyuan, both of them looked more solemn.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Jing sensed that something was wrong, and looked at everyone in bewilderment.

"Xiao Jing, don't talk yet." Xiang Xi said, and he obediently closed his mouth after hearing this, and remained silent.

Ji Xiuyuan looked at Uncle Hai, and asked aloud, "Have you found the Luo family's warehouse yet?"

Uncle Hai shook his head, "The Luo family seems to have known that they would lose, so they made preparations for fleeing early."

Hearing this situation, everyone's faces were more dignified.

Dong'an is the most northerly, and its products are not rich. In addition, Luo's father and son are greedy, although there is no war in Dong'an.

But it can be said that in the past few years, the entire Dong'an people have been supporting the Luo family and his son.

Their money is definitely an astonishing figure.

Ji Xiuyuan is not so lofty as to regard money as dung, there are too many things to do now, not counting the investment in weapons, just the expansion of the army is a frightening expense.

"Sister, are we short of money?" Xiang Jing pulled Xiang Xi and asked in a low voice.

Xiang Xi nodded solemnly.

Xiang Jing looked relieved, "What else should I do? Our Xiang family still has two gold mines, so let's use them now."

What he said shocked all three present.

"Is there really a gold mine?" Xiang Xi was the first to ask in surprise.

"Yes, my father told me, but I haven't seen it, but I know the place." Xiang Ding nodded.

"I thought it was a rumor, brat, why didn't you say it earlier." Seeing this, Xiang Xi got angry and wanted to pull his ears.

"Hey, brother-in-law, look at my sister!" He ran behind Ji Xiuyuan like a monkey.

Xiang Xi was speechless again, at such a young age, it's strange to find a backer.

She thought so, but she didn't think about herself, and she spared no effort to embrace the golden thigh.

Uncle Hai watched the two of them spread the Xiang family's wealth on the dining table without any hindrance, and was rather speechless, but when he thought about it later, he felt more relieved. family.
