Today's General's Mansion is very lively. Red lanterns are hung in both the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, and the servants sometimes set off a few firecrackers. People in Yunxiang County are curious about what the General's Mansion is doing. Even many children are watching from outside.

Firecrackers were made by Yang Haiyan when the sulphur ore and saltpeter ore were discovered, and they made a lot of them. It was very interesting to put them away on special days or during the Chinese New Year.

Although the people of Yunxiang County did not know much about the General's Mansion who had only been here for four or five months, they had a good impression. First of all, the general solved the problem of the city wall and the beast mountain, so that they don't have to worry about the infestation of beasts in the cold winter.

Secondly, the general's mansion has recruited soldiers, the military camp and fields have recruited stewards, and the general's mansion has also received food, and when the food is received, the money is never in arrears. For this, the people are most happy.

Finally, and most importantly, the general's mansion does not fish the common people. For the common people, the most feared thing is that a high-ranking official comes to the local area, and as a result, the high-ranking official oppresses the common people, causing the entire county town to be smoky. But in the past four or five months, everyone knows that the General's Mansion is not like this, so can you be unhappy?

Although the General's Mansion is lively, there are not many guests in the mansion. The Qin family had no relatives in Yunxiang County, and they were just a few people from the county government. And Du Ke, one of the protagonists, is from the capital, and he has no relatives here, so there are not many talents in the general's house.

However, there are few people, and it is easy to entertain.

In the inner courtyard, Yang Haiyan entertained Mrs. Yang County Magistrate, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Yang Xiaowei, Grandma Qin, Mother Qin and Third Aunt Qin were also there. Qin Siya brought Qin Qiuya to entertain the little ladies, and the little ladies were from the Magistrate Yang. Daughter and Meng Qiu.

And Qin Shoucheng was not idle either. He brought Niudan and Kun Daying to entertain Lv Dawei, Lv Xiaowei, the son of Yang Xiaowei's family, and the son of Yang County's family. They are all classmates in the college and are very familiar with them.

And Qin Shouye was taken by Qin Fang's side. As the accountant of the military camp, it was also a good thing for Qin Shouye to contact more people and expand his horizons.

Wei Ting got up first: "Today is a happy event for Master Du and General Qin. We respect Master Du and General Qin."

As Wei Ting's words fell, Shen Lixian, the magistrate Yang, the county magistrate, and the master bookkeeper also stood up: "Respect Du and General Qin."

The county magistrate Yang was really amazed. Before Qin Fang came, he was still thinking about how Qin Fang, a disciple of the poor family, had achieved today's achievements. Now that he came to this apprenticeship banquet, he knew that the person behind Qin Fang was actually It is Lord Du Kedu, Minister of War. You must know that Lord Du is the emperor's confidant.

Sure enough, worship is very important to teachers.

For Qin Fang, he can't offend him, and he should have a good relationship.

Of course, Magistrate Yang did not intend to rely on Qin Fang, curry favor with Qin Fang, and then get promoted to become rich. In his capacity, he guards Yunxiang County and plans to have a safe life. If you get in front of the emperor, maybe because of the matter of the Yang family, the emperor finds a mistake and sends him down. Fortunately, during the period when Qin Fang took office to Yunxiang County, he and Qin Fang got along very well.

Du Ke got up. He rarely slammed wine on weekdays. He was happy today, so naturally he had to drink a few glasses. "That being the case, the old man would like to thank several of you for your appreciation. Everyone has been in the officialdom for a long time, and they are more knowledgeable than Qin Fang, who is a newcomer to the officialdom. In the future, Qin Fang will need everyone to take care of him."

Speaking of which, Qin Fang has only been in officialdom for three months, since he was officially named General Wude this year. I have been in the military camp before, not in the officialdom.

Wei Ting said, "Master Du is very polite."

Shen Lixian also said: "No, General Qin is a disciple of Master Du, and maybe General Qin will take care of us."

The county magistrate Yang listened to their ridicule with a smile, and there is no place for him to speak.

Du Ke is a person who doesn't like to talk nonsense with others. After politely talking about the scene, he started talking about business: "This official came to Yunxiang County this time, because of the emperor's order, since Lord Yang is here today, this The official will talk about the emperor's order..."

The male guest was talking about business, while the female guest was gossiping.

Yang County magistrate's wife's eyes stopped on Qin Qiuya many times, and Yang Haiyan had just introduced that this is Qin Fang's cousin, the only daughter of the Qin family's third room, and she is thirteen years old this year. Mrs. Yang is a smart person. Qin Fang can pick up everyone from the Qin family. It can be seen that he also respects the uncle who is next door to the family, and also has the meaning of promotion, so she naturally gave Qin Qiuya a high look.

Moreover, this girl is gentle and gentle, although she is a little petty and introverted, but she just came from the countryside, and this kind of personality can be understood. After a while, she will naturally change. Even if she didn't change it, she felt that this kind of character was not a problem.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang County magistrate said: "Xiangjun, did Miss Qiuya say that she was kissed?"

None of the people present were fools, and everyone could understand what this meant.

Aunt Qin's heart is tight, but she has a stupid mouth and doesn't know how to say it. Therefore, she could only look at Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "Not yet, Qiuya is only thirteen years old this year, according to the family's wishes, there are only three younger sisters in total, now the eldest sister is married, and the remaining two younger sisters want to stay for a few more years. However, a good girl is not afraid of being picked, but a good gentleman is picked early. Therefore, if you meet a good gentleman, you can also look at it first."

See each other early, and you can get in touch more, and see people more thoroughly.

Mrs. Yang county magistrate said: "No, that's the reason."

Mrs. Yang Xiaowei and Mrs. Lu also laughed. They had no idea about Qin Qiuya. The son of Yang Xiaowei's family was only ten years old this year, and Lu Dawei and Lu Xiaowei were twins, only nine years old this year. If you want to have an idea, it is possible with Qin Siya.

Maybe Yang County Magistrate's wife mentioned Qin Qiuya's marriage, and they all thought of Qin Siya. It doesn't matter that the girl is one or two years older than the brother. On the contrary, the woman is a little older, and it is fine to have children, so they all play Qin Siya's idea. However, the two did not show it either.

And Yang County Magistrate's wife also mentioned Qin Qiuya, but she didn't mention it after that. However, everyone knew it in their hearts, and when they mentioned it, it meant the next thing, but they didn't say it on the surface.

After the dinner was over, everyone went back.

Mrs. Yang County Magistrate and Yang County Magistrate sat on the carriage back, and Mrs. Yang County Magistrate said, "I saw General Qin's family today at the female family's side, but they were all real people, and they all looked good. Great to get along with.”

Magistrate Yang raised his eyebrows: "Why did you tell me all this?" What does this woman's family have to do with him?

Mrs. Yang county magistrate said: "General Qin's family is simple and honest. He has a cousin in his family who is thirteen years old this year and is ready to say kiss."

After hearing this, Magistrate Yang pondered for a while: "Are you going to marry my son and General Qin's cousin?"

Mrs. Yang County Magistrate said: "My son is fifteen years old this year, and you are not going to let him take the imperial examination. Although you can bless him now, in the end... I want to find a kind and simple room for him who can be his backer. Yue's family. Actually, General Qin's direct sister is the most suitable. Although he is only ten years old this year, it's okay for my son to wait. But in such a situation in our family, General Qin will definitely not marry his direct sister into our family. , so let's take a step back and choose General Qin's cousin, what do you think?"

Magistrate Yang was silent. In fact, he hoped that his son could take the imperial examination. He was born in the jinshi, and naturally he also hoped that his son could be admitted to the jinshi. But for the safety of his son, for the safety of the Yang family, he could only wrong his son. The Yang family is not able to get to the road in front of the emperor at present, it is better to be as far away from the capital as possible. Therefore, my son's greatest achievement can only stop at being a scholar. To be a scholar, at least one-third of this acre of land in Yunxiang County, even if he goes in the future, his son will have a face to live here.

If their Yang family wants to take another imperial examination, it can only be three generations later.

But when his wife talked about the Qin family's marriage, he was also moved. The Qin family is now rising. If the son is engaged to General Qin's cousin, and General Qin is a student of Master Du, will the son... be eligible for the imperial examination? In the future, even if someone talks about the matter of Mrs. Yang's family, with the backing of Master Du and General Qin as his son, it should be fine.

When the magistrate Yang saw that the magistrate was silent, she knew that he was thinking. As a mother, how can you not think about one or two things for your son?

Not to mention the matter of Yang County's ling's heart, Yang Haiyan took a bath and lay on the bed with Qin Fang, and also mentioned this matter: "Mrs. Yang, today Mrs. Yang told me about Qiu Ya's marriage, Yang Although the county magistrate is good, and Mrs. Yang is not such a difficult person to get along with, if Qiu Ya is married into the Yang family, I will not approve."

Qin Fang was taken aback: "Don't you think too much? Maybe Mrs. Yang wants to be a matchmaker."

Yang Haiyan said: "I'm just talking about it. Because of the succession, Mrs. Yang's family was implicated. Although the Yangxian magistrate's family is fine, but I'm not sure what will happen in the future." Although the novel did not mention the Yangxian magistrate's family, but now Qin Fang left the official way, and she wanted to avoid anything that would affect Qin Fang when she could. She originally came from Mrs. Yang's family, and her identity was sensitive enough. If the Qin family and the Yang family have any other relationship, then beware of the villain's mischief.

Qin Fang said: "This kind of thing is up to the third uncle and the third aunt. You should mention it to them."

Speaking of the third aunt, Yang Haiyan remembered Qin's mother's words: "Actually, my grandmother mentioned it to me today, she said that the third uncle and the third aunt want to find a good boy among your subordinates to match Qiuya, do you think Tao Shan How?"

Taoshan?

Qin Fang was completely stunned when he heard it. He really has no plans to be a matchmaker with his subordinates, but after listening to his wife's mention, he thinks it's okay. Compared with the Yang County magistrate's family, he thinks Taoshan is better. Tao Shan followed him. In the future, wherever he was transferred, Tao Shan would go with him, so that Qiuya would also be with him, and he could take care of him a little more: "I'll ask Tao Shan tomorrow."

Yang Haiyan said: "When you ask, you have to make it clear about Qiuya, especially if she wants to recruit a son-in-law... If you can't find a son-in-law, you can also make an agreement with the man that the first child of both men and women will follow Qiuya. Ya's surname is Qin, so it can be regarded as a memory for the third uncle."

When Qin Fang heard it, he felt that it made sense: "Okay, I'll talk to him. Yanyan...the beautiful scenery, today is a good day again, shouldn't you also congratulate and congratulate your husband?"

Yang Haiyan gave him a roll of eyes: "I've been busy for you today, isn't that congratulations?"

Qin Fang chuckled, and immediately changed his tone: "Yanyan has been tired all day, so my husband is here to give Yanyan a massage." He was really happy today, and he drank a few more sips because he was happy. Even Qin Fang felt that he had never been as successful as he is today in his life. Even when he was named a five-rank martial arts general, he felt that it was not as good as it is today. "Yanyan, I'm very happy today." He sat up from the bed, took her hand, and massaged her.

Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows and looked at him, the man's dark face rarely saw a touch of red, and he really drank too much. Yang Haiyan said: "Every day in the future will be as happy as today." The 22-year-old boy, if this is in modern times, he is still playing in the university club.

Qin Fang nodded: "Well, as long as you are here, I will be so happy every day in the future."

Yang Haiyan raised her head and patted his face: "It's time to go to bed, the teacher will definitely ask you to discuss things tomorrow."

Qin Fang grabbed her hand: "I can't sleep. Yanyan, I can't sleep, let's celebrate, congratulate this celebration, maybe I will fall asleep." He picked Yang Haiyan up from the bed, Then let her sit on her lap, "Yanyan, let's play something new today."

Yang Haiyan: "Playing with you..."

Before the first word was spoken, Qin Fang had already kissed her lips.

Yang Haiyan blinked and met his gentle eyes full of smiles, this person is really nice. She put her arms around his neck and responded enthusiastically.

the next day

Last night, General Qin was a bit too busy with drinking. Although Yang Haiyan got up early today and didn't have a lazy bed, he still felt a little tired.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the demolitionist came over to Du Ke: "General, Xiangjun, please come over after breakfast to discuss errands." The person who came was Du Ke's entourage, named Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao has followed Du Ke since he was a child, and he is also very important in the Du family.

Qin Fang said, "Should Zhuojing also be with you?"

Zhang Hao said: "Your Excellency said, Xiang-Jun knows the situation of this errand best, so he would like to hear Xiang-Jun's opinion."

When Qin Fang heard it, he stopped talking and said, "We have already eaten breakfast, so let's go with Uncle Zhang."

When Qin Fang and the others were about to reach Duke's yard, they met Wei Ting. Although the outside is big, but the courtyards of these guests are so close, it is inevitable that they will encounter each other.

When Wei Ting saw them, his eyes lit up: "General Qin, Lord Bingyun, I was looking for you on something. I didn't expect to meet you at this time. It's a coincidence."

Qin Fang said: "It's such a coincidence? What is the matter with Mr. Wei looking for us? We are going to find the teacher."

Wei Ting said, "Then let's talk to Master Du, or ask her to be a witness."

Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan looked at each other, puzzled by Wei Ting's words.

A few people went to Du Ke's yard together, Du Ke was punching in the yard, and when he saw Qin Fang and them coming, he stopped the punching movement: "Qin Fang, you are here, I am looking for you to discuss about joining, why? Wei Ting is here too?"

Wei Ting smiled and said, "Master Du, I also have something to do here. It was ordered by my father. I also asked Master Du to be a witness."

"Oh?" Du Ke was surprised now, "It said inside."

When he got to the house, the servants brought tea. The people who brought the tea were all the people who were brought by Du Ke himself. No matter where he went, the entourage he brought were all his own, and he was used to it. Now that he is in the general's mansion again, in the student's house, he is more comfortable.

Duco: "Drink tea."

"Yes." Everyone picked up the teacup.

After drinking a sip of tea, Wei Ting said, "Master Du, General Qin, and Lord Bingyun Xiang, when they were at the border, my younger brother Wei Wu recognized Lord Bingyun as his sister-in-law. People in the Yongzhou Barracks at the border know nothing about this. Little. My father means that the younger brother recognizes the righteous sister, and that is the goddaughter of my Wei family, so the Wei family should make up for the proper etiquette. It happened that now Mr. Du is here, the lower official will replace his father, please Du Your lord, be a witness." He brought out Father Wei, also saying that Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan could not refuse.

Du Ke's face was calm, but a thought flashed in his heart. Will the Wei family recognize Yang Haiyan as their goddaughter? How is this going? Of course he disapproved of this matter, but judging from Wei Ting's intentions, this matter seemed to have been settled. Du Ke looked at Qin Fang and them.

Qin Fang was also stunned. Wei Wu didn't make it clear to Wei Wu, and Wei Wu also promised not to mention it again. What's the matter with Wei Ting mentioning it now? Moreover, Wei Ting didn't mention it when he first came to Yunxiang County, but now he mentions it after his apprenticeship... Qin Fang immediately understood that if Yanyan and the Wei family became dry relatives, and he was the teacher's student, then the Wei family and the Du family would be the same. …

"Bingyun, thank you Lord Wei for your love." Yang Haiyan said, and bowed in the direction of the capital, the Lord Wei she was referring to was Father Wei, "However, Bingyun has already recognized Shi Niang as her adoptive mother and accepted it. The gift of recognition that my mistress entrusted my master to bring, naturally I can no longer recognize the Wei family as a dry relative." Yang Haiyan also touched the ruby ​​hairpin on her hair, which was the set given to her by Mrs. Shizi, and she had never used it. . Speaking of which, it was the first time I used it today.

Then, Yang Haiyan saluted Du Ke again: "Teacher, I like the hairpin that my adoptive mother gave me. I also asked the teacher to thank the adoptive mother on my behalf after returning to the capital."

Du Kehe and the others were upset again, but their faces were filled with a smile: "You just like it. This hairpin was given to her by your adoptive mother when she was a girl. It's been a while, I'm afraid your girl's family I don't like such things. It seems that you have quite the same preferences. When you have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, after you meet, she will definitely like you."

Wei Ting didn't react at first, and he didn't know who Yang Haiyan was referring to as his adoptive mother. As soon as Du Ke answered, he understood, isn't Yang Haiyan's wife Du Ke's wife? Du Ke took Qin Fang as a student, and Mrs. Du took Yang Haiyan as a righteous daughter?

Come to think of it, it is not impossible.

But is this a coincidence?

But that's it, what else can he say? Let Yang Haiyan recognize two relatives? That's too hard. "So, it's my Wei House that's not good enough, and it's Wei Wu's fault that I didn't clarify this matter sooner."

Yang Haiyan said: "Second Master Wei is a person with a hearty personality. He said that I was his righteous sister at the time, and he was thinking of an old friend. It was just to lift my identity. I was afraid that the minister would bully me. He probably didn't think of the capital. Lord Wei will take it seriously, and ask Lord Wei to return to the capital, explain it to Lord Wei in the capital, and tell him not to be angry with Second Young Master Wei, otherwise, it's not mine."

Wei Ting said with a smile, "No, no, this kid has always been a senseless person. Now that it's clear, it's fine. So, if Wei is disturbed, I'll leave first."

Qin Fang: "I will send Brother Wei."

Wei Ting: "It's time to work."

Qin Fang and Wei Ting went out, only Du Ke and Yang Haiyan were in the room. Yang Haiyan's heart was beating thumping, and she had no choice but to do it. In fact, she couldn't think of any other reason for Du Ke to stop Wei Ting, and when she thought of this reason, she was very sure that Du Ke would not. will refuse.

But at this moment, with only her and Duko in the room, she still felt a little nervous and uneasy.

Du Ke's eyes are like a sharp sword, looking at Yang Haiyan's body, at least Yang Haiyan thinks so, she thinks Du Ke's eyes are very sharp.

But in Duco's view, this is not the case. He felt that the woman in front of him was very smart. Such a smart woman matched with his long-winded student, but it was... quite interesting. Du Ke could feel Yang Haiyan's nervousness, and even saw that her forehead was sweating. As if feeling enough of her nervousness, Du Ke said, "Why did Bingyun reject Wei Ting? The Wei family is in the ranks of the first family in the capital. If Bingyun Xiangjun recognizes the Wei family as a relative If he comes to the capital one day, the scenery will not be small."

Yang Haiyan lowered her head and said: "I have a grudge with the Wei family, although it is not inexorable, and even the Wei family has fulfilled me in some places, but it is true that there is some grudge. If I recognize the Wei family as a godfather , I'm afraid my rumors will not be less in the future. And...Although the big things are informal, I am a woman and don't do big things, so in some places, I don't agree with the Wei family." She dared not look Du Ke's eyes .

Duke raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?"

Yang Haiyan paused, then continued: "I was sold by my parents to Mrs. Yang's house when I was five years old, thanks to the eldest lady's fancy, and since then I have followed the eldest lady, dressed better than other maids, and ate better than other maids, and even fortunately Following the eldest young lady and the famous teacher, studying and recognizing the characters..." Having said that, Yang Hai knelt down, "Master Du, the important affairs of the imperial court are not something that a woman can think about or manage, Mrs. Yang's family. It's good for me to be in trouble. I've changed from a slave to a good one. However, Miss Yang's kindness to me is higher than heaven. I have no right to criticize what the Wei family has done to the Yang family, but I have the right to disagree. In a hurry, I borrowed Mrs. Du's name and asked Master Du to forgive me."
