Chef [Quick Transmigration]

Last year when the barbarians came to invade, Beifu City won a big victory, killing 2000 enemies and taking [-] prisoners. The number seems small, but the barbarians themselves are a loose tribal system, and they can organize so many soldiers to go south to plunder. It is already a large tribe among the barbarians, and it is not as procrastinating as before. Soon there was an order from the prince to reward the three armies from Shangjing.

If the situation in the past two years was not clear, but now it is basically affirmed. If the imperial decree is an imperial decree, it means that it has no real meaning. Don’t push yourself too far if you praise you. If it is the crown prince’s decree, this That's great, it represents the crown prince's approval.

It is always difficult to talk about the affairs of the royal family, especially after the prince seized power, he did not force the old father to abdicate or even kill the king. Every day he is not justified, he cannot be reassured. This makes many princelings have doubts, but Meng Jue said , anyone who has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not ask such a question. Such a young man with a strong heart and powerful means cannot be underestimated. The Crown Prince does not want to be on the throne, just like him Everyone knows it, but they don't take it seriously. His Highness does not allow any objection.

Meng Jue's evaluation of Qin Ze is very high. This is of course because Qin Ze attaches great importance to the army. He has a thorough understanding of the ills of the imperial court, but he has never made a move. There are enough people who have made a move. What's the use of Emperor Yongde not even looking at it?However, the crown prince has never visited the border. He lives in the bustling capital of Shangjing, but he always keeps the safety of the people in mind.

Rewarding the armed forces is naturally more than financial rewards. Meng Jue himself has a title, but his military position in the army is not high. He is a general guarding Beifuguan and a third-rank military officer. He has not been moved for many years. The generals under his command also have their own rewards, and those who have done meritorious service in the army are treated equally.

Meng Jue's roster of merit requests was prepared early in the morning. The Beifu camp is full of old brothers who have followed him for many years. There is nothing to say about rewards. After five years in Huotou Camp, he worked diligently and worked hard without complaint. If he were an ordinary soldier, he would have been promoted a long time ago, but he wanted to let his grandson sharpen himself in Huotou Camp, so he made him the commander of Huotou Battalion. In this battle, the barbarians found the position of Huotouying in advance, and after they wanted to run out of food, they were defended by the little white soldiers and killed four hundred enemies. They did a lot of merit. Although he intended to sharpen his grandson, he could not ignore his contribution. It also symbolically raised the post of school lieutenant.

So today is Zhang Xiaobai's last day as the battalion commander of Huotou.

Rewards in the army are not issued to soldiers at one time, except for the doubled military salary this year, the rest of the rewards are entered according to the number of military merits, and will be returned when they retire from the army. Meng Jue took part of his rewards, People bought cattle and sheep to hold a celebration banquet.

During the three-day banquet, Zhang Xiaobai was busy from morning to night, and there were not many people in the army who would clean up meat, and he couldn't hold a celebration banquet for 3 people by himself, so he could only take a step back and cut up the slaughtered cattle and sheep in advance Well, the big pot is boiled for nothing, as long as there are people around the pot, at most it will be almost cooked, so that the meat will not be spoiled, and the remaining small part can be taken care of, and Zhang Xiaobai will lead the Huotouying soldiers to fry and fry. The most popular is barbecue, the portion is not too much, and it is divided into a thin piece in each person's bowl, so that it can taste a little bit.

To be honest, many people have been with the battalion commander Zhang Xiaobai for two or three years, and this is the first time they know that his food is so delicious.

Da Chu’s school lieutenant is a lower-level officer with real power, leading 2000 troops, not too big, not too small, Zhang Xiaobai belongs to Gao Sheng this time, many Huotouying soldiers came to congratulate him, and some people didn’t want to If you continue to work in Huotouying and want to go with him, this is also within the scope of the school lieutenant's authority. Zhang Xiaobai agrees one by one.

Zhang Xiaobai's identity has not been hidden from anyone since the first day. Most people in the army are on the sidelines. After all, there are many things about the tiger father and dog son. Even the general has a son like Meng Lian, let alone the son of a brothel official prostitute. But as time goes by, gradually no one calls Zhang Xiaobai "the son of Zhongyonghou", "the son of Menglou" and "the one from the Meng family". A person who works hard and has ability always wins people's hearts. Health admiration.

Of course, Meng Jue went to Zhang Xiaobai for the letter sent from the upper capital, and he won a big victory. Although the Yi people don't use spring plowing, spring grass is fertile, and it is the season for herding cattle and sheep, so wars are not easy to happen. Meng Jue wanted to return to Beijing to see his mother for the last time, so he must bring his grandson with him.

Zhang Xiaobai still remembered the loving appearance of the old ancestor, and felt a little sad, so he nodded immediately.

The court officials had their parents' funeral leave. Mrs. Hou asked Meng Jue's friends in Beijing to ask for leave for him when he sent the letter home. Now he can leave directly after finishing the military affairs. It didn't take long for Zhang Xiaobai to set foot on the road. The way back to Beijing.

In the past few years, Zhang Xiaobai has experienced a lot in the army. Zhang Xiaobai also often communicates with his mother. He learned that the business of the nephrite building is booming now. Like clouds, Cao Yu'e's skills have improved in the past few years. The life of the girls in the building is much easier, and sometimes they gossip. Although there are no parents in the brothel to talk about, there are also many things, especially in the Wenfeng Building next door. Every day the nobles come and go, there will be more fun to watch.

On the contrary, there are not many things that Zhang Xiaobai can talk about here, and he definitely can’t talk about military affairs. He has grown taller, his legs hurt in the middle of the night, and what he bought in the city last month are all trivial things. Zhang Xiaobai was a little embarrassed at first. , but after a few concise letters, his mother asked him to write more, and he was not tired of these minute records.

This time I am going back to Beijing. I intercepted the letters from the capital side on the way. In the past, Zhang Xiaobai read these letters alone, but after reading the letters today, the young man showed a hesitant expression on his face, and he still took the letter with him. Knock on Meng Jue's door.

Shen Yanwei's letter didn't say much, it was all she could find out. Just half a month ago, the prince visited Wenfenglou and met Meng Lian. The Marquis of Dingbei even asked for funeral leave. As a grandson, why does he hang around in the Guanguan every day? Those who could not hide from the wind soon spread to everyone in Beijing.

If it were someone else, Shen Yanwei's temperament would be to gossip with her son at most, but when it comes to the Dingbeihou Mansion, she still tried her best to ask someone to inquire about the events of the day, reminding Zhang Xiaobai to pay attention if he returns to Beijing recently. The reputation is very bad now.

After Meng Jue finished reading the letter, Zhang Xiaobai said, "Grandmother will definitely keep it from my ancestors. Grandfather shouldn't provoke the mansion when he returns home. Although the third uncle is absurd, fortunately the crown prince is lenient."

Meng Jue was exhausted towards this son, knowing that such a thing was not angry anymore, he sighed and said, "I can't control him either, after I go back, I will ask you to be named the Marquis of Zhengyang, and you will be distributed from the mansion." Go out, he will cause trouble in the future, and you don't have to be implicated in it."

The Marquis of Zhengyang is the title of Meng Lou, which is lower than the Marquis of Zhongyong who was conferred later. The first generation of Marquis does not need to be degraded. The Marquis who had been replaced by others might think that Meng Jue was biased, but Zhang Xiaobai knew that his grandfather really thought that Meng Lian would cause a catastrophe in the future, and worried that he would be implicated, so he nodded happily.

Meng Jue thought of the two sons who died young, and saw Zhang Xiaobai was young and mature, with a calm demeanor, and felt a little comforted. He patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "The future of the Meng family depends on you. Your third uncle only knows how to make progress." Man, it's a good thing that the crown prince looks down on him, otherwise, what's the use of being favored for a while? A man's life depends on his own feet."

Zhang Xiaobai nodded seriously, and said, "I will always remember my grandfather's teachings."

This is not a lie. Zhang Xiaobai has been practicing at the border for the past five years, and he has inevitably absorbed a lot of qualities worth learning from Meng Jue. He is a solid-minded person, and he has a solid-minded grandfather. .

Meng Jue felt even more comforted, and the grandparents and grandsons rested at the station without mentioning it.

It took only half a month to return to Beijing. The ancestors had only breathed in and had no breath. Hearing Meng Jue's voice, he gradually came to his senses and held his son's hand. After talking a lot, he stretched out his hand towards Zhang Xiaobai again, and called him Lian'er.

Zhang Xiaobai reacted immediately, without refuting, stepped forward and knelt by the couch, holding the other hand of the ancestor.

Ever since Meng Lian was sent back to the Hou Mansion by the prince, he felt that everyone was laughing at him, shutting himself in the yard and seeing no one. He even refused to come out when he heard that Meng Jue was home. The previous incident hit her, and the old ancestor suddenly came back to life. It was Mrs. Hou who reacted and asked the woman beside her to call Meng Lian.

Did Meng Lian miss the last time to see her loving ancestor? When she was brought here, the ancestor had already swallowed his breath in his son's arms before anyone entered the door. Vague surprise, then passed away with a smile.

Zhang Xiaobai knew that when a person is about to die, the body and soul are separated, and what the soul sees in an instant is different. He is an immortal who has experienced a lot of calamities, and he still has some spiritual energy in his body.

He sighed slightly, and put down his ancestor's hand.

May she be happy in the next life, her children and grandchildren will be around her knees, and she will live a happy life in an ordinary way.
