As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

"Hua Man Lou, do you want to go hunting in the mountains? Today's weather is just right..." Miss Qi suddenly opened the door and came in. Seeing the two people's movements that seemed to be stagnant, she couldn't help but bewildered: "What are you two doing?"

"Uh..." Hua Manlou felt like being raped.

"Ah!" Wan Chengyan cried out bewilderedly, and hid behind Huamanlou, pretending that she didn't exist.

Looking at the dazed Qi Wanrong, Hua Manlou coughed in embarrassment, and the villain complained first, "Why didn't you even knock on the door when you came in?"

"I...I...don't know about you..." Qi Wanrong blankly planned to apologize, but quickly realized: "No, you two just play like this in broad daylight?"

Wan Yanran was so ashamed that she didn't dare to lift her head, but Hua Manlou said plausibly: "Otherwise? At night, the lights are so dark that you can't see clearly, how can you play?"

"It makes sense..." Qi Wanrong didn't leave, instead she went straight into the house and locked the door, and came over curiously to watch Wan Cheng Yanran, who wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in: "You made this clothes? It's pretty good." nice."

"Really?" Hua Manlou responded casually, staring blankly at her movements, and suddenly went crazy: "No, what are you doing in here?"

"Let's play together, what else can we do?" Qi Wanrong gave Hua Manlou a white look, then looked at Wan Cheng Yanran who was about to faint, and suddenly looked frustrated: "It's really white, the clothes are still white, no wonder..."

Hua Manlou said in astonishment, "No wonder?"

Although Huamanlou is also very embarrassed at the moment, Qi Wanrong's crazy behavior is really hard for him to resist, but he still can't drive her out.

If Qi Wanrong ran away in anger or made a big fuss, Huamanlou could take her away from the scene of the crime with an excuse, but she ran in without knowing what intentions, Huamanlou really didn't know how to control the scene-both A daughter-in-law who has never been married, can't really drive Qi Wanrong away by favoring one another, can she?

But Qi Wanrong was not embarrassed at all, she looked at Wan Yanran depressedly, and said embarrassingly: "No wonder you treat your sister as a treasure, compared to me, I'm just like a firewood girl..."

Hua Manlou: "...Believe me, you are much better than firewood..."

Wan Yanran was so ashamed that she almost exploded: "Do you really want to chat here?"

The room is so big, Miss Baimao has no place to hide, so she can only shrink herself behind Huamanlou as much as possible.But Qi Wanrong didn't care about her weak protest at all, she just kept trying to see her whole picture.

The three of them circled around the room like eagles catching chickens. After a few laps, the three of them became a little dizzy...

"Go away, let me have a look!" Qi Wanrong wanted to open the building.

Hua Manlou directly opened his arms to stop her: "Why does my wife let you see?"

Qi Wanrong held her head high and held her chest high: "I'm your wife too!"

Wan Chengyan was so angry that her lungs hurt: "You... both of you go out!"

Although she was protesting, Qi Wanrong didn't take it seriously because she was shy and lacked any momentum: "It's not that she didn't wear clothes, why are you so stingy? In the future, I might have to serve Huamanlou together..."

Wan Cheng Yanran was at a loss for words: "One...together...don't even think about it!"

"Eh?" Hua Manlou was greatly shocked: "Why!"

"You...you still ask why...ah!"

Caught off guard, Qi Wanrong grabbed Wan Qiyanran, and pushed Huamanlou away. She looked at Wanqiyanran who was about to collapse and said: "Well... so it is like this, Huamanlou you I actually like this tune."

Wan Yanran was overwhelmed with shame and anger, but Hua Manlou rolled her eyes: "I like it so much, what do you know? Speaking of which, the set of Qin'er prepared for you has already been made..."

While talking, Hua Manlou comforted Miss Baimao: "It's okay, you can go and watch her clothes when they are ready."

Qi Wanrong suddenly became nervous: "I...I don't look good in this kind of clothes..."

Wan Cheng Yanran was suddenly excited: "I will definitely go to see it!"

481. Go if you want

There is nothing bad about men, even if it is true since ancient times that there is such a fairy who is not in trouble.But it is said that this master was ridiculed as a hypocrite by his younger brother because of this matter-his younger brother is the thief who is also a thief, and his name is Liu Xiatuo.

So from this point of view, Liu Xiahui either didn't lift it, or the one sitting in his arms was really ugly.

Otherwise, change him into someone like Miss Baimao, or Qi Wanrong, and by the way, put on some light and transparent or half-covered clothes, if he can still hold on like this, then...

Well, then he is really inferior to a beast.

All in all, Hua Manlou is a normal man, and also a layman, so for the next few days he dragged Qin'er to design clothes, hoping to restore those things that most LSPs would see blood spurting as soon as possible.

In addition, don't forget that there is still a group of cobblers in Xishan. After the development of the hot air balloon, this group of people was quite idle, so Huamanlou gathered this group of people to start developing small leather shoes and high heels. It only looks good with this kind of shoes, otherwise it is a bit nondescript.

Finally, some tailors were also hired by Huamanlou to design some inner wear.

After Huamanlou's narration, this group of people went through the process of "at a loss", "half understanding", "suddenly enlightened", and "tactful", and handed Huamanlou a message that you understand me and everyone With knowing eyes, he immediately picked up the scissors and started to try it out. He was busy working until midnight on the first day.

What's more, some people even take the trial works home, regardless of waking up their mother-in-law in the middle of the night to try them on...

So let's see, where is the man who is not lustful?

And just when Hua Manlou was a little bit on top, a helpless Huang Zichao came to the door. When he saw Hua Manlou, he smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, you have been back for a few days, anyway... take care of things?"

Hua Manlou clicked his tongue and said, "Aren't I busy? You can handle the affairs of Xishanwei, anyway, you know the process..."

"Oh..." Huang Zichao didn't know what to say.

This time Xishanwei was promoted, Huang Zichao was directly placed by Hua Manlou in the position of commander and acquaintance, that is, the second person of Xishanwei, but in fact, except for the general direction, Huang Zichao is equivalent to the commander of Xishanwei.

Huang Zichao didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky when he met such a superior official - if he was the kind of person who would use all means to overthrow the superior official for the sake of power, he would be very happy, but he is the kind of loyal and unparalleled person, and he has no doubts about power. He has no interest at all, so Huang Zichao is equivalent to a laborer who works two jobs and only gets one salary. This...

"What's the matter, is there any difficulty?" Seeing him like this, Hua Manlou knew that he was overdoing it, so he could only say awkwardly, "Just tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will find a way."

Huang Zichao sighed again, and then said: "There are no difficulties in the army, but didn't uncle say that Xishanwei should always maintain the highest combat effectiveness in Dazhao? But now we don't have much advantage over Shenjiying, And because after some backbones are transferred and new recruits join, there will definitely be a period of time when they will be completely inferior to others, so should we develop in the direction of improving tactics or in the direction of updating equipment?"

In fact, except for some elites who cannot be given to others, most of the 1024 young soldiers in the early days are now officers. For example, the Ningbo Navy and the Fujian Navy served as officers, so that the new army can accept the new combat method as soon as possible.

Therefore, except for some key officers, most of the current Xishan Guards are new troops. Under such conditions, it is only natural that they cannot compare with the Shenji Battalion, which has been learning from Xishan Guards.

In addition, the firearms made by Xishan have been popularized by the Shenji Battalion, and they have gradually begun to be popularized by the new army in other places, so if they do not upgrade a level, the core competitiveness of Xishanwei will be lost. Something Lou had been emphasizing before was a bit out of touch.

But the problem is that the tactics are not so easy to upgrade, and because Huamanlou has been fishing, the project review card at the Institute of Technology is so deadly that it is really difficult to develop new firearms, so Huang Zi is in a hurry.

"Uh... this matter, then what, isn't the new army not yet recruited? After all the recruits are recruited, first practice slowly according to the old method, and wait for next year to change the equipment together?" Hua Manlou asked. The perfunctory face.

"Uncle, do you find it troublesome?"

"Where is it?"

"It's all written on your face!"

"Tsk... okay, okay, I'll go to the college to approve the project, okay?" Hua Manlou felt extremely haggard: "Oh, by the way, you choose 300 people from the newly recruited group to form three hundred households Battalion, and assign it to those who know hot air balloons."

Huang Zichao was taken aback: "Hot air balloon? Uncle, you mean the hot air balloon can be used?"

"Can..." Hua Manlou was even more tired: "Look, isn't this the core competitiveness? Great Zhao Air Force, the only one!"

After so long of experiments, today's hot air balloons can be said to be strong, reliable and safe, and they can already try to make a system and start training.He was too lazy to do these things before, but now in order to continue fishing, Hua Manlou can only let go of this thing in order to be stable for a while-this is about to get married, who is in the mood to work?

"Okay, let's leave it at that, you can just keep recruiting people, the conditions must be stuck!" Hua Manlou fooled Huang Zichao away with great exhaustion.

After Huang Zichao left, Hua Manlou remembered one thing: "Speaking of it... Su Jiuer didn't say how many people she would recruit for me, how should I reserve this spot? And when will this girl come back?"

Although Su Jiu'er didn't have a high sense of presence when she was in front of Huamanlou, after she left, Huamanlou always felt that there was something missing around her, and she even occasionally turned around to see the mean face of Song Jie who was pretending to be a guard He gets angry...

"This girl...wouldn't be coming back? There are still two years left." For some reason, after thinking of Su Jiu'er, Hua Manlou felt a little panicked.

This girl was a fan when she was around, and she was also a fan after she left. Hua Manlou used to think not to ask her about things until she said it herself, but now...

After hesitating for a while, Hua Manlou finally made up his mind to call Song Jie and said, "You...go to Dongchang and find someone to ask about Su Jiu'er's situation."

"Ah? Oh." Song Jie immediately made up a bunch of things like grievances and hatred.

"...Don't think too much, I just want to know if she cheated on me." Hua Manlou explained a lot.

Song Jie nodded quickly: "Uncle, after asking clearly, should I take a trip to Datong?"

Hua Manlou hesitated for a while, and then said with a deep expression, "Well... go if you want."

"understood."

482. Su Jiu'er's Past

One person, one horse, one sword.

Going west to the capital, Su Jiu'er didn't walk fast, eat something when hungry, drink something when thirsty, find a place to sleep when sleepy, and dismount to rest when tired, looking as free and easy as a fairy.

It’s just that for some reason, whenever I sit in the gazebo by the road, or stand by the stream, or stand on the hill in a trance, my eyes always look to the east unconsciously, as if I can see through the mountains and rivers at a glance, and see a certain place. Someone who used to be with him day and night but rarely communicated.

Su Jiu'er's once cold and indifferent gaze has now become confused and confused.

In the past, Tutuo Buhua made a large-scale invasion, and everyone in the Datong Mansion was panicked. Although there were reinforcements from the Ningguo Gongxie to guard them, not many people had much confidence in this battle—even Su Jiuer, who was there at the time. Datong Mansion intends to live and die with the city.

But that battle was won in a bizarre way, and it was the biggest victory in more than a century.

After the war, the name Huamanlou resounded throughout Datong Mansion, and it was the first time Su Jiuer heard of the name Huamanlou.

At that time, she didn't think that she would have any intersection with this man. After all, one of them was a dignitary, and the other was just from the rivers and lakes, so she was just silently grateful like Qiaoqiao in the past—if there were no flowers everywhere, After Datong City was broken, blood flowed like rivers, and human lives were worthless.

But after that, Su Jiu'er heard the name Huamanlou more and more times. He heard that he defeated three hundred Vala cavalry with three hundred young men, and heard his poems spread to every corner of Dazhao. He took the initiative to completely divide the Tatars, and since then Datong Mansion has been completely peaceful.

When the news came, I don't know how many people in Datong set up longevity tablets full of flowers at home, and kowtowed in the direction of the capital with tears streaming down their faces.

Su Jiuer suddenly wanted to meet Huamanlou.

On that day, she was alone, with one horse and one sword, looking east.

Even Su Jiu'er didn't expect that by chance, she would become Huamanlou's bodyguard.

From then on, she watched him laughing and cursing, watching him lazily, watching him cure the stubborn diseases in the southeast for more than a hundred years with ease, and watching him gradually change the world.

In the past, she watched her parents die under the Tatar iron cavalry, so she determined to learn martial arts. Even if she could not change the world as a daughter, she only hoped that the world would be less miserable, and that the sword in her hand could kill more barbarian pirates, making the world Can be more fair.

But after learning and going down the mountain, there is no use for all his abilities-with Su Jiu'er's talent and vision, those so-called chivalrous ways of fighting for justice, robbing the rich and helping the poor are naturally unsightly, and they are nothing more than banned by martial arts.

In short, Huamanlou's method of pitting the Tatars and destroying the Japanese pirates made Su Jiu'er self-doubt. She drew her sword and looked around but saw peace on all sides. After going down the mountain, she didn't even kill a bandit. How embarrassing is this?

So Su Jiu'er was confused.

What's even more confusing is that Hua Manlou did something that she couldn't do in her entire life - to be honest, she killed Tatar Japanese pirates with one sword after another. The pirates cannot be destroyed, so Su Jiu'er's thoughts on Hua Manlou gradually changed from admiration to admiration, and then from admiration to admiration, and finally changed from admiration to another strange thought for some reason.

Although she knew very well that there were more than one person beside Huamanlou, and they were more outstanding than the other, for example, there were those who were beautiful, those who had a prominent family background, and those who were talented.

Su Jiu'er felt that she was too redundant, together with the little thoughts that were born when she didn't know when... Xu Shi saw him standing by the sea and weeping for the innocent dead in Shengshan, she was also very redundant.

After all, Hua Manlou was getting married soon, and Su Jiu'er felt empty at the thought of him getting married soon.

If it's just an employment relationship, why would she find a bad reason to stay away?

"Ugh……"

Withdrawing her gaze towards the east, Su Jiu'er got on the horse and continued to walk west.

……

West Hills.

In Huamanlou's study room, Song Jie sighed, "Uncle, I've found out about Miss Su."

"Well, let's hear it." Hua Manlou pretended not to care.

"Miss Su is from the family of Datong Prefecture. Her family used to run an escort agency, and she is quite famous in the Shanyou area. In the winter of the sixth year of Guangxing, the Tatars went south to plunder, and several counties in the area of ​​Xuanfu were almost destroyed. At that time, Miss Su's Parents happened to take her back to Datong with escorts, but they met a small group of Tatar cavalry on the way."

"There are quite a lot of good players in the Escort Bureau, but there are many Tatar cavalry. After a deadly battle, Su's father made a breakthrough. After Su's mother escaped from the siege with the young Miss Su, she died of exhaustion, and then Miss Su was rescued. Now, I went to Su's father's good friend." Song Jie felt a little emotional: "It's no wonder she usually looks like this after encountering such a thing."

Hua Manlou was not at all surprised by this, but asked, "So Father Su's friend taught her martial arts?"

"Uh... that's not true." Song Jie said: "Father of Su's friend took Miss Su in, saw that she was determined to take revenge, and couldn't persuade her, so he sent her to a martial arts gym in Taigu County, Jinzhong to learn swordsmanship. I just learned it the year before last."

Taigu County can also be regarded as a hometown of martial arts. Although it is not as famous as Cangzhou, Dengfeng, and Heze, it still has a lot of heritage.

"Determined revenge... what do you mean?"

"Maybe Ms. Su thought that if she was a good martial artist when she was young, her parents would not have died?" Song Jie analyzed, "Wasn't Ms. Su still young at that time?"

Hua Manlou nodded: "Then why did she ask for 3 taels of silver in the first place? To pay the tuition for that martial arts school?"

"That's not true. Dongchang later sent someone to inquire about it. Miss Su asked someone to send the money back, and asked the martial arts gym to recruit as many disciples as possible to teach. The money is for these disciples." Song Jie explained: " The subordinates reckon that Ms. Su wants to use this money to train more people who can go to battle and kill the enemy to join the army, after all, the frontier army... some people are really outrageous."

After a pause, Song Jie continued: "Uncle, since ancient times, you have been poor and rich in martial arts, and you can't get out of martial arts practice for ten or eight years. The news received by Dongchang is that the martial arts school is indeed In fact, a large number of people were recruited, and among them there were many poor people who couldn't get rid of the pot. These people were all supported by Ms. Su. Now that the uncle wants to recruit soldiers, maybe Ms. Su just wanted to bring these people to the capital. "

Hua Manlou squinted his eyes and said: "You said that you can't get out of martial arts every ten or eight years, how much use can these people bring at this time? Besides, we are all firearms troops here, people in the world... you Do you think it matches our style of painting here?"

"Uh... That's true. But people with background are better than people without foundation? When our group of people were taken in by the uncle, not to mention training, some people even ran two steps as if they were dead. ..."

"Okay, don't be silly. You can go out with some people. After you find her..." Hua Manlou hesitated for a moment, then sighed: "Just ensure her safety, don't worry about it."

"Yes."
