Carrying the wrong sedan chair to marry the wrong wife

Shen Wenchang was young, and was not sent to the regular army stationed in Yanghe, but was sent to the school grounds, where there were only more than [-] newly recruited recruits.

Since Shen Wenchang took office, Zhang Ziliao did not seek trouble for him, and returned to the capital after staying in Yanghe for a month or so.But the recruits in the school are not optimistic about the young Shen Wenchang, and they take the opportunity to make troubles from time to time.

"This Lieutenant Shen is young and not tall, but we have to listen to him for training. How many of you are convinced?"

"If you don't agree with me, he is a school lieutenant. He is an eighth-rank official. Why are we young people fighting for who is better with the official?"

"That's right, I think Colonel Shen has never been an official, and he is kind to us. They respect us, and we have to respect them too."

"Kindness is kindness. If he has no ability, I don't want to work under him." A strong man with a beard heard someone talking, so he yelled.

As soon as the strong man spoke, four or five people responded.

"Fourth brother Meng, when the captain comes, you compare with him and say, let him resign if he loses. If he wins, we will only follow his lead and see if he dares to fight."

"Yes, Fourth Brother Meng, let's compare with him."

After hearing this, several people around surrounded him, and for a while, more and more people were looking at the bearded fourth brother Meng to compete with Shen Wenchang.

"Don't make a fuss, shoot the first bird, what if Lieutenant Shen doesn't want to, and still find trouble with Fourth Brother Meng?" A young man jumped out, he felt that these people were only afraid of chaos in the world.

"Hey, if Captain Shen is really like this, I don't want to stay here any longer, I pack up and leave, the world is so big, there is always a place for me." Fourth Meng Meng's voice was loud, and after roaring , There are more soldiers onlookers.

It was noon at this time, and Shen Wenchang had just finished eating with Lu Qingyi. Because of the hot weather, Shen Wenchang usually only wore a middle coat at home, with the sleeves rolled up to his arms.

After eating, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and put on the official uniform with patience.

"I just bought a few watermelons at home, do you want to take them to the school grounds to share with the soldiers?" Lu Qingyi asked Shen Wenchang as she tied a belt around her.

"No, a few watermelons are not enough for them to share, and most of them are always hostile to me, and sometimes they show some tricks. , but there is always a small gap." Shen Wenchang said, picked up the watermelon on the side, and ate it with a spoon.

Lu Qingyi took the fan and slapped herself, and then slapped Shen Wenchang again, saying: "You can't do it if you don't accept the trick, they say you are afraid. If they make trouble again, you can show some momentum to deal with it." , after all, you are an official, I heard you mentioned those people, but they don't seem like bad people, if you can defeat them, they will definitely be obedient."

"But, my father-in-law wrote to prevent me from causing trouble." Shen Wenchang felt his hands itch a few times, but thinking of his father-in-law's words, he resisted the desire to use force.

"Daddy doesn't know the details of the situation here. You listen to me. If they cause trouble, you can find an excuse to compare with them, but the gambling money must be negotiated beforehand, and they won't regret it in the future in front of everyone. "

After hearing this, Shen Wenchang pondered, dug a spoonful of watermelon and handed it to Lu Qingyi's mouth, and Lu Qingyi opened his mouth to eat it.

"Well, next time they throw a trick, I'll take it." After Shen Wenchang said, he took another mouthful and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, this frozen watermelon is really delicious, Yiyi, you really know how to eat it. "

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi glanced at Shen Wenchang lightly, this is obviously a trick you thought of in your previous life, and in terms of being able to eat, it can't compare to you in your previous life.

"I'm done eating, I have to go." After saying that, Shen Wenchang stood up, held Lu Qingyi's head in his hands, kissed Lu Qingyi hard on the forehead, got up and went out.

Lu Qingyi smiled and wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, then picked up half of the watermelon, ate it while fanning it, very leisurely.

When Shen Wenchang went to the school grounds, she suddenly felt weird. Everyone looked at her in unison, each with a different look in their eyes.

The man called Fourth Brother Meng stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves and cupped his fists and said, "Lieutenant Shen, we smart people don't talk dark words, we haven't seen your ability since you came to Yanghe, today I’m here to ask for advice, so that the brothers can learn a lot.”

Shen Wenchang sighed slightly when he heard the words, recalled what his wife said, and asked, "Then what do you think?"

"Meng isn't talented, so I'll ask Lieutenant Shen about his archery skills."

"Okay, but, Meng Si, if I win, you are not allowed to cause trouble in the future." Shen Wenchang looked at Meng Si and said.

"Okay, but why did Colonel Shen lose?"

Shen Wenchang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "What do you want?"

"If Colonel Shen loses, and Captain Shen takes off his official uniform, what will happen to the power-changer?" Meng Si looked into Shen Wenchang's eyes, if he was a coward, he would not even dare to fight, so he left immediately.

Shen Wenchang was surprised, he didn't know that the stakes were so high that he would not be scolded to death by his father-in-law if he went back to Nantong, but the hero is most afraid of shortness of breath, and he can't lose his momentum when he loses, not to mention that she, Shen Wenchang, has been fearless since she was a child.

"Okay, bring the bow and arrow." Shen Wenchang said to the soldiers beside him.

Hearing this, the soldiers rushed to get their bows and arrows. Shen Wenchang and Meng Si stood still with their bows and arrows. Shen Wenchang took the arrow with a blue cloth tip, and Meng Si took the arrow with a red cloth tip.

Shen Wenchang looked at the target in the distance and said: "It's simple, each person has ten shots, and the one who hits the most targets wins."

"Okay, I'll come first." Meng Si looked a little excited.

"Are you sure?" Shen Wenchang turned to look at Meng Si when he heard the words, "I'm afraid you will regret it, why don't I come first."

"Hahaha, Lieutenant Shen was joking, what's the priority? Let the subordinates come first." Meng Si said and took the arrow, pulled the bowstring, aimed and shot it, and finally it just happened to hit the edge of the bull's eye.

"Okay~" Yanghe's soldiers applauded one after another, but Meng Si was not satisfied with his own arrow, so he drew a second bow and hit the bull's-eye this time.

"it is good!!!"

"Fourth Brother Meng, your arrow skills are really good."

After Meng Si shot ten bows and arrows, six of them hit the bull's-eye, two were on the edge of the bull's-eye, and two were outside the bull's-eye.

"It's your turn, Colonel Shen." Meng Si looked at Shen Wenchang and said.

"That's right, Colonel Shen, Meng Si hit the bull's-eye with six shots, and then it's up to Captain Shen." The soldier next to him laughed.

"Six shots? I'm afraid your eyes are blurred and you can't count clearly. Let me help you count again." Shen Wenchang smiled, and just as he finished speaking, he drew the bow and the arrow shot out, followed by the arrow and the arrow. The sound of arrows colliding, everyone stared at the target with wide eyes, and saw that the arrow tied with blue cloth instantly replaced the place where the red arrow was inserted in the bull's-eye, and the arrow with the red cloth tip bounced off the target and landed on the grass superior.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, since Meng Si shot one less arrow that hit the bull's-eye.

Shen Wenchang didn't wait for everyone to speak, took the second arrow and shot it.

As the number of arrows with red cloth heads at the bull's-eye became less and less, the eyes of everyone looking at Shen Wenchang had changed. When there was no red arrow at the bull's-eye, Shen Wenchang stopped, looked at the remaining four arrows and said: "Victory!" The loss is already divided, so I don't need to shoot these four arrows anymore?"

Meng Si stared intently at the bull's-eye. He really admired Shen Wenchang's archery skills, but Shen Wenchang was younger than him next year, yet he was able to beat him in public. His sun-tanned face glowed red, and he was quite ashamed.

"Lieutenant Shen's superb archery skills, Meng Si admires." Meng Si clasped his fists and said, "From now on, I will follow Captain Shen to train hard, and strive to fight the enemy as soon as possible."

"Fourth brother Meng, I would like to bet against a real man. I will invite fourth brother Meng to drink after ten days off." Shen Wenchang smiled and patted fourth brother Meng on the shoulder.

Meng Si was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned even redder.

"Your Excellency Shen Xiaowei has a lot of people, he doesn't care about me, and he still invites me, a vulgar person, to drink. This really makes Mengsi feel ashamed. Okay, Xiaowei Shen is straightforward. I am not a cowardly person, Xiaowei Shen does not despise it." , I am a brother to Captain Shen, and I will be useful in the future, Captain Shen said bluntly." Meng Si blushed and patted his chest.

"Hahaha, okay, refreshing, we are all gentlemen, we are all brothers in this school, no matter where he is in his age, as long as he has something to do, he will send a letter and come from afar to help." Shen Wenchang laughed.

As soon as this statement came out, there were more than [-] people in the school, everyone was excited, and many people came up to chat with Shen Wenchang.

"Captain, you can teach me that archery technique, it's too powerful."

"That's right, captain, if you see me in a daze, teach me too."

"I want to learn too, captain, you teach me too."

.......

The enthusiasm of the crowd was very good, and Shen Wenchang could not refuse, so he simply arranged 200 people in a line, and began to train these recruits according to the method Zhong Lang trained her.

When night fell, Shen Wenchang said goodbye to everyone and returned home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw the people in the front hall stunned for a while, and when he regained consciousness, he shouted and ran into the hall happily.

"Enter the text!!!"

"Full warehouse!!!" Xu Jinwen went up to meet him.

"We haven't seen each other for a few months, why are you so fat? Could it be that your daughter-in-law who just passed through the door made you fat." Shen Wenchang smiled, and dragged Xu Jinwen into the front hall.

Lu Qingyi greeted her with a smile and said, "Jin Wen and his younger siblings arrived not long after you left at noon, and they were looking for you to come back, but Jin Wen was afraid of delaying your school grounds and stopped them."

Shen Wenchang heard the words and looked at the strange woman on the side. He wrote to her when he was married. He lamented that he couldn't walk freely in official boots, but he looked gentle and said, "Hello, brother and sister."

"Hello third brother." The wife of the Xu family saluted.

"Prepare the food later, let's go eat first." Lu Qingyi said, and Shen Wenchang took Xu Jinwen and his wife to the back hall.

"It's rare for everyone to get together today. I've prepared some rice wine. Let's have a few drinks together." Lu Qingyi smiled and covered Xu's wife first.

"Sister-in-law, I, I don't know how to drink." Mrs. Xu's face blushed.

Lu Qingyi smiled and said: "This is the rice wine I learned to brew by myself. It's not intoxicating, and I couldn't drink it before. After drinking with your third brother, this rice wine has its mellow taste. You can taste it, if it is true I can't drink, and I won't force you."

"The third sister-in-law personally poured you wine, drink and watch." Xu Jinwen looked at his wife and said.

The lady of the Xu family blushed and nodded when she heard the words.

Everyone clinked a glass, Qi Qi looked at Mrs. Xu, who took a sip and then took another sip, her eyes filled with joy.

"Third sister-in-law is really skillful, this rice wine is delicious."

Lu Qingyi smiled and said, "I still have more behind me, just drink."

Shen Wenchang smiled brightly, picked up the peanut with chopsticks and threw it into his mouth: "By the way, Liniang wrote to Yiyi last time, saying that Wan'er is married, is this true?"

Xu Jinwen nodded when he heard the words: "Well, I went there on the day Miss Wan'er got married."

"How is the groom?" Lu Qingyi asked, "Li Niang only said that she was married, but she didn't mention the groom's character."

"Look at the gentle and elegant. He looks good. Oh, he is also a scholar. He didn't take the exam for scholar at a young age. He said he was concentrating on studying the painting skills of his ancestors. Not to mention, Miss Wan'er was born as a singer, and she could be carried from four sedan chairs. The front door was lifted into that expensive house, and you are indeed married." Xu Jinwen put down his chopsticks, took a sip of rice wine, and continued: "As for Hongfei, I have been to the Tang family, and Uncle Tang said that he was married in the capital long ago. Yes, I asked for the address and sent him a letter, but I haven’t replied so far, and then my fourth brother wrote to me, saying that I met Hongfei in Xifan, and now he has been promoted to commander-in-chief by virtue of his military exploits.”

"I don't blame Miss Wan'er for this matter. Hong Fei decided to marry his boss's daughter. He must have given up on Wan'er when he made the decision. His immediate boss and father-in-law pressured him. He would never want to have anything to do with Wan'er in this life. That's fine. Miss Wan'er was accompanied by someone in her great years." After Lu Qingyi finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the phrase "to concentrate on studying the painting skills of the ancestors", and asked casually: "By the way, you just said that the groom wants to study the painting skills of the ancestors, and the groom's ancestors are very famous. ?"

Xu Jinwen heard the words and said: "That is quite famous, the descendants of Chen Huaizui."

"What?" Lu Qingyi was startled, "Chen Huaizui's offspring? What's the groom's name?"

"It seems to be called, oh, by the way, Chen Siyun." Xu Jinwen recalled the name of the invitation and patted his legs.

"Pfft, cough, cough, cough." Shen Wenchang choked on the rice wine and calmed down, "Chen Siyun? Hey, why is the Chen family still haunted?"

Lu Qingyi was also taken aback, Miss Wan'er failed to like Shen Wenchang, and ended up marrying Chen Siyun?Turning around is still her daughter-in-law of the Chen family.If I go back to Nantong in the future, I have to treat Miss Wan'er ten times better.

"Mancang, do you know Chen Siyun?" Xu Jinwen put vegetables in his bowl.

"There have been one or two holidays, but they were all minor ones." Shen Wenchang pouted, "For Miss Wan'er's sake, I can't argue with that Chen Siyun."

"Hey, that's actually not bad. Hong Fei got married in Jingzhong, and Wan'er got married in Nantong. They don't owe each other anything." Xu Jinwen stopped his chopsticks, "Hey, let's not talk about them, count the days, if the fourth brother decides The time of the return trip is correct, and I think I will be able to return to Beijing in a short time. Although the fourth brother did not say anything in the letter, the date of the return trip has been estimated. What does it mean? official."

"Cheng Yi is indeed an official." Shen Wenchang nodded, "My father has already sent me the letter she wrote to me. When she returns to the court, I am afraid that Yanghe will start to fluctuate slightly."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Xu Jinwen asked.

"She saw a batch of our Dazhou's grain and grass in Xifan, and she verified that Xifan was not stolen from our army. She had someone steal a bag with the words Yanghe tax and grain on the inside of the sack," Shen Wenchang said. He sighed, "It just so happened that on the first day I came to Yanghe, I saw this dirty thing. Zhang Ziliao secretly colluded with the head of Yanghe and sold the tax grain to Xifan. According to the county magistrate, Zhang Ziliao Liao may come to Nantong at some point, saying that it is to fetch paintings, but in my opinion, the theft of taxes and food is inevitable, and the painting is probably just a cover."

"This Ziliao is so bold? Then the fourth brother will come back to court to read a copy, and there will definitely be imperial envoys to investigate. If they want to investigate, they will have to take away the evidence." Xu Jinwen said.

Shen Wenchang replied: "Well, I know there is an account book, and I have to find a way to get it."
