iron face man laughing husband

After Tie Qing heard this, a thought was ready to come out of her mind: Is there no one to say good things to my uncle in court?

"Young man? Young man?" Shopkeeper Wu saw that he was silent, and thought there was something wrong: "You should say something!"

"Oh, it's nothing." Tie Qing said: "With what your boss said, I know how to tell my uncle."

"You still don't understand." Shopkeeper Wu smiled: "I heard from our master that there are several attitudes towards the war between the Northeast and China. A group of people think it should be fought. After all, the Shanlang in the Northeast Guan is an important town, how can we allow foreigners to provoke or even attack Caogu? This is the first battle against barbarians in the grassland since the founding of the Dazhen Dynasty! A group of people think that peace is the most important thing, and they want to marry the grassland and get married. The best candidate is Brother Xi who is at the border!"

"Damn it!" Tie Qing immediately stared straight at his eyes, if his uncle found out, wouldn't he vomit blood out of anger?

Marriage, since ancient times, there has been no good result.

This is true regardless of his time and space or this era.

What's more, Brother Xi, a younger brother, went to make a marriage, not a princess, but a son.

"But the emperor didn't approve, but the Zhuhe faction has always insisted on its own opinion." Shopkeeper Wu continued: "Some people think that it is enough to stick to the city, and there is no need to go to the grassland. Anyway, if you go to the fight, you can't hold it. Fight It doesn't matter if you don't fight."

This is a fence!

"Really?" Tie Qing really understood a little bit, the big brother's situation is not good, it's not from the enemy, but from behind.

"Actually, there are six princes in the court who are competing for the crown prince." Shopkeeper Wu said in a low voice, "Although the eldest prince is the most promising, he has a shortcoming. He gave birth to a grandson of the eldest son of the emperor, a little grandson of the emperor! The third son, mother and concubine are now the dominant family in the harem; the fourth son, mother and concubine passed away, but the uncle’s family is a famous Confucian, literary giant, and many disciples are officials in the court , Although he is a civil servant, he has a lot of power! The fifth prince married the eldest grandson daughter of the current Tai Tuo as the concubine, only the sixth prince, who likes to dance with spears and clubs since he was a child, is said to want to find a child from a general's family."

Tie Qing listened very seriously, shopkeeper Wu was very satisfied with Tie Qing's attitude.

"However, these six princes are all fighting for General Xiao, because General Xiao is in the Northeast, but his family is the only one, and he has all the power. The 30 army is still capable of recruiting and fighting, even if it is only 20. It’s also a considerable force.” Shopkeeper Wu’s words don’t sound like what a shopkeeper of a restaurant in a remote county in a border area can say: “So they are also trying to win the support of General Xiao! It's a pity that General Xiao doesn't seem to like to meddle, and doesn't pay attention to them at all."

"My eldest uncle is only loyal to the emperor, besides, what does this border land have to do with Jingzhong?" Tie Qing couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Even if he wants to have a relationship with Beijing, it's the eldest son Brother Xi, not some prince."

But Tie Qing knows that since ancient times, in this matter of fighting for the throne, it is good to win, and it is a complete defeat if you lose, and there will be no recovery.

Their family doesn't have any backing, and on the surface, it looks like it's the best one to deal with, and the eldest brother-in-law also looks like he's dying.

This group of people is not looking at the elder brother, but his group of veteran soldiers who are capable of fighting.

"Yes, the emperor probably thinks so too, otherwise he wouldn't have let the eldest son come here." And he lived in the old Xiao's house without a name or distinction, and he hasn't left until now.

"Shopkeeper Wu, I will remember what you said." Tie Qing said, "I will tell my uncle."

Although I don't know what it's useful for, but it's still possible to say hello.

Shopkeeper Wu was satisfied. Before he left, he also gave Tie Qing two horses of bird gold that were said to have come from outside the pass. It was a kind of dark green material with golden silk patterns. It was said to be one of the specialties of the Raksha Kingdom. can not see.

Tie Qing accepted it, and planned to make a woolen coat for Brother Xiao to wear, it would be very interesting.

Then there was shopkeeper Tian, ​​he kept complimenting Tie Qing when he came, and Tie Qing was amused by his compliment: "Uncle Tian, ​​we've known each other for so many years, just say it if you have something to say!"

"Oh, it's not the owner's side." Shopkeeper Tian wiped his face: "Your autumn cabbage is still sold to me, right?"

"Of course, isn't this what we agreed to?" Tie Qing knew what he was worried about: "Don't worry, we'll do what we did before. Am I going hunting? If I have a good prey, I'll give you one as well." did you go?"

It's true, he just went there a few days ago, the shopkeeper Tian wasn't there at the time, the big man from his family received him, and chatted with him for a while, and talked nonsense for a while!

Because the business is not very good, there are no customers at all, and they are afraid of a real fight, after all, their county is too close to the border.

"Isn't it, it's different!" Shopkeeper Tian was worried about cabbage, but he was more worried about other things: "Well, our boss told me something, and I think I should give you some advice. .”

"What's the matter?" Tie Qing still trusts Shopkeeper Tian very much. His boss is said to be a wealthy businessman from Fucheng, and the head wife of the boss is the daughter of the royal merchant Xue's family.

For those who are merchants, the imperial merchants are coming to an end. How many imperial merchants are there in the world?

He is very well-informed, probably better than that Wu Yushi.

"I heard that only half of the food and grass for the army has arrived, and the rest has not been distributed." The news from Shopkeeper Tian was simply earth-shattering.

"It's only halfway here... what do you mean?" Tie Qing frowned.

The food and grass of the army are very important. The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.

In ancient times, wars were fought with logistical supplies. Only when we had enough food and drink did we have the strength to fight. The emperor was not short of hungry soldiers!

"That is to say, the food and grass of the army, counting the previous grain storage, is estimated to be able to eat until the beginning of autumn. At that time, the food and grass will be cut off! And at that time, it is impossible to directly clean up the autumn at the beginning of autumn. You can’t collect it right away, even if you collect it, you have to rub the corn particles to make it look like corn!” Shopkeeper Tian reminded Tie Qing: “At that time, it’s too late to say anything.”

The smile on Tie Qing's face disappeared: "How do you know?"

I haven't seen the messenger come back to mention this matter. Maybe it's because the eldest brother-in-law didn't want people to talk about it. The whole family is ordinary people, so talking about it won't help.

"My master's mistress is the daughter of the imperial merchant Xue's family. The mistress' nephew wrote from the capital to ask our mistress to pay attention to the price of grain. Someone in the capital has raised the price of grain in the Northeast." Tian The shopkeeper said: "My personal guess is that this is probably because I want to make some kind of deal with General Xiao, such as supporting a certain prince to take over the position..."

His voice became smaller and smaller until it was almost inaudible.

Because these words were a bit rebellious, even if he knew that only Tieqing was around, he would not dare to say it out loud.

In the end they all silenced themselves.

Tie Qing touched his chin: "Really?"

It seems that many people in the court are not very friendly to the eldest uncle!

He can even imagine what the situation is: these people are targeting his eldest brother-in-law!

When the two storekeepers who came to pull Suan were sent away, the courier of the eldest brother also arrived: "The army wants to order 30 pieces of that, hurdle vest and big pants!"

"Is there no one in the military who can do it?" Tie Qing asked a silly question.

"No one has done it!" The messenger said: "And this seems very simple, there should be no secret technology?"

What about the hurdling vest?What are the big pants?

That thing is made by anyone who can sew and cut fabric.

"No, it's fine linen cloth, do you have it in your army?" Tie Qing asked again.

"Yes, [-] bolts of linen cloth have been sent by the army!" The messenger said, "As long as someone makes it, how can one bolt of cloth be made into ten sets?"

The fine linen is worthless, and the hurdle vest and the big trousers are indeed cheap.

"It can be made." This Tie Qing knew it, brother Xiao used a piece of linen to make him five sets and seven pairs of trousers, and the remaining linen made him some boxer underpants.

"That's it, a set of clothes, and two coppers for sewing." The messenger said, "Do it as quickly as possible."

It's going to be hot soon, and the frontier soldiers in the north are still wearing long clothes and trousers, even if they are unlined, they are too hot.

"I'll go talk to Brother Xiao." Tie Qing hurried to find Brother Xiao.

"This matter is done, leave it to us!" Brother Xiao was very confident: "After ten days, come and pick it up!"

"So fast?" The messenger's eyes widened.

Tie Qing also felt that it was much faster, 30 pieces, ten days, and [-] pieces were produced every day!

"It's not a troublesome job." Brother Xiao said, "Half of it can be shared with Xiaoyan Embroidery Village, and I'll find someone from the village to help me here, isn't it all right now! "

We have just finished shoveling the ground for the first time, and there are still more than ten days of slack in the field, and this job is simple, clean and profitable, and everyone will be very happy.

In fact, Tie Qing completely underestimated Brother Xiao.

Brother Xiao told the villagers that they all actively signed up. The messenger went back the next day, and came on the third day. Hundreds of carts brought fine linen.

Brother Xiao pulled the fine linen and looked at it for a few times, then set the rules, let people come to pick up the cloth, whoever gets the number of pieces of cloth, how many pieces of ready-made clothes must be produced, and no deductions are allowed, because such fine linen in the army The linen is not the same as the ones outside, it is much wider, and it is dyed with the army green in the army, so it is not sold outside!

If anyone dares to skimp, and people will find out later, the whole family will have to suffer!

But Tie Qing didn't know much about this, he only knew that his husband was very busy and commanded a large group of family members confidently.

He was only responsible for providing help, such as sending cloth to Xiaoyan Embroidery Village, and went to Xiaoyan Embroidery Village to bring back a lot of needles and threads, which Brother Xiao distributed to the family members in the village.

However, Brother Xiao ignored Old Liu's family, Lao Guo's family and a few families with bad reputations.

But Mr. Xu also took the cloth and went back to work. Mr. Xu was quite surprised when he saw it: "Is it from Xiao Fulang?"

"Isn't it!" Mr. Xu quickly cut the cloth with his hands and feet: "Xiao Fulang said that if you provide cloth and needles and threads, it will cost two copper coins to make a set. If you can make hundreds of sets, it will cost half a year." Just chew the grain!"

Their family has a bad reputation now, and the children in the family have grown up and become sensible. The eldest is helping her with scissors and other things, and the younger is helping her hold the ball of thread.

"Xiaofulang is a good man, they are both good husband and wife!" Boss Xu sighed: "If the third child had married into the old Xiao's family..."

"Don't mention the third child!" Mrs. Xu interrupted her husband's words: "He didn't like it back then, but it's too late to say anything now. It's also a marriage. Can Lao Zhang's family compare with Lao Xiao's family? Lao Zhang's family Now use him like a human animal, Zhang Xiuniang is still pregnant, even if he wants to divorce... well, there is no reason to be divorced!"

In fact, Boss Xu seldom thinks about Youngest Xu.

Because regret will be with Mr. Xu for the rest of his life!

He worked hard to find a wealthy family, and he didn't hesitate to be the son-in-law who stepped in the door, but he missed Brother Xiao. If he had listened to his father back then, he would have joined the old Xiao's family... Who would dare to underestimate him now?

In the end, he himself didn't like it, and his mother worked hard, so what's the point?

"Hey!" Boss Xu also sighed, "It's all his own life."

The third child is usually silent, but he still has his own ideas!

It's just that the few families that Xiao Geer didn't give work to were terrified, especially Liu's third family. It is impossible to get work, and he thinks that he is good at sewing, so maybe there will be some material left over to make a suit for his husband.

But he wasn't even assigned a job, so what to do?

Also afraid are the other families of the Liu family, as well as the old Guo family, the natal family of a good husband.

Ever since the news that Xiao Wei was a great general came to light, people in the old Guo family were like quails. They dared not go to the west when they went out. The old Xiao family, the old Shao family and the old Tie family lived in the west end.

When I met people from Lao Qiao's family before, the people from Lao Guo's family would still make sarcastic remarks. Who told Lao Qiao's family to be next to these families, all of them were rich.

The people in Old Qiao's family don't understand, other people's family is rich, so what's the matter with their family?Those who are rich are neighbors, not our family!

After a few times, I don't like to talk to the people of Lao Guo's family anymore, and I don't say hello when I meet them.

Now, they didn't even dare to take a look at the old Qiao's family, so they turned around and left.

When Mrs. Qiao was making clothes and chatting with Aunt Xiao, she said: "It looks so relieved! Who do you think their family is? They are envious of other people's lives, but you live a good life by yourself!"

"They're jealous of our family!" Aunt Xiao was amused by the old lady: "Sister-in-law Qiao, feel free to anger them in the future."

The old lady Qiao smiled, showing her two missing teeth: "I'm not as knowledgeable as them, so let them be jealous."
