In the evening, Xu Hao helped Xiao take a walk after a meal. Today it was an autumn rain. The so-called autumn rain and cold, and the weather changed significantly.

The servant was busy cleaning out the autumn and winter clothes. While talking to his mother, Xu Hao was thinking about whether to go to Liaodong once. He was really worried about the situation in the north.

Now the imperial court is dealing with Benya's messenger, and Zhang Yu and his son have set out to Beiping and are preparing to use 100,000 elite troops to fight the Northern Expedition.

Although the veteran General Qiu Fu had already died in battle and was unlikely to have a tragedy of the entire army, he went deep into the desert grasslands, even with sufficient logistics supplies and muskets, Xu Hao could not help but worry. He planned to send tens of thousands of troops to Liaodong to confine him.

Unfortunately, radio was not invented, and communication became the biggest problem. We can only hope that the staff of the Governor's Office of the Five Army could formulate a detailed and secure combat plan.

Regarding his talent in leading troops to fight, Xu Hao asked himself that he was far inferior to Zhang Yu and his son. But to be honest, he was not optimistic about Zhang Yu, and his relatively calm and wise brother-in-law Zhang Fu. Although Zhang Yu was all-round in civil and military affairs, he was too impulsive in fighting. As a son, Zhang Fu would definitely not be able to persuade his father.

In view of this, Xu Hao recommended Yang Rong and Jin Youzi, who were skilled in military affairs in the cabinet, to accompany the army, which played the role of supervising the army. This was inevitable. If not, Zhu Gaochi and the civil servants in the court would not be relieved, for fear of being the first to set the precedent for the general to lead the troops independently.

Xiao was supported by his son with a smile, and slowly walked across a small bridge. From a distance, he saw Xu Jiang running in front with a smile, and a maid carrying many cricket boxes behind him.

Xu Cuiliu was walking in the corridor on the other side, and Xu Jiang ran and shouted, "Sister Four, it's good today. Mr. Don't come back all night. Where is your crab shell green? Take it to fight with my golden wings!"

Xiao said speechlessly: "It's almost time to get married. I'm still so unemployed and only know how to play all day long, and I can grow up long."

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Let him go, Song'er is there, and he can live his own life well."

Xiao said, "Your third uncle is counting on a son to pass the imperial examination. Song'er became a military officer. Jiang'er was not a weapon, and only Hu'er was left as if it was still like that."

Xu Hao asked casually: "How is your brother doing recently?"

Xiao said, "My sister-in-law said that she had changed her whole body, she was taciturn and wanted to tell him that a wife would not agree. By the way, he became the deputy commander of the Five City Military Command."

Xu Hao was a little surprised. The name of the Five City Military Command Department sounded very good. In fact, it was equivalent to the complex of traffic police, urban management, sanitation, firefighting, and police stations under the Public Security Bureau. Its functions overlapped with Shuntian Prefecture, but it was affiliated with the Ministry of War.

Shuntian Prefecture is a third-rank yamen, and the Bingmasi is only a sixth-rank yamen, and it is divided into five regions: southeast, west, north, and middle. Each commander of the sixth-rank yamen is one person. From the sixth-rank deputy commander, four.

The Bingmaster is the most filthy and tiring among the major yamen in the capital. Every day, patrolling the streets day and night, and any matters such as water, fire, disasters, or thieves can be called, and there is no penny. The police system and police station in the late Qing Dynasty were established on the basis of the Five Cities Bingmaster.

Perhaps Xu Wen believed that there was no way out for a hundred households in the military, and no matter how hard he worked, he could not surpass himself. And being the deputy director of the district police station and deputy captain of the urban management brigade was a beginning of his career, and it was not impossible to become a civil servant.

Xu Cuiliu said over there with no interest: "No, your mother scolded me once the day before yesterday and said I shouldn't have been making trouble with you."

Xu Jiang shouted, "I'm not afraid of her. If she scolds me again, I'll seek death. Is there a lid on the patio? I'll die. What should I do if I see her?"

Xu Cuiliu said helplessly: "Stop talking stupid things."

"The puppy is the one who speaks stupidly." Xu Jiang looked proud, "I just need to do this. I am not afraid that she will not beg you. Am I really seeking death?"

Xiao shook his head, and after walking for a long time, he was exhausted. After saying a few words, he went back alone. Xu Hao heard Cui Liu say, "I am impatient today, you can play with others."

Xu Jiang said, "None of them wants to play with me. Why don't I call my third brother and let the three of us have fun."

Xu Cuiliu said, "Stop making trouble, how can I have time to play with you?"

Xu Jiang said, "The third brother hasn't been with us for many days. I asked him to come here. If you don't believe me, please wait."

In this way, Xu Hao was pulled over by force. Xu Jiang bowed and pleased Cui Liu, which made Cui Liu angry and funny, so he had to ask the maid to take the cricket to fight him.

Xu Hao was not interested in fighting crickets and stood on the side to watch the battle. Unfortunately, Xu Jiang's cricket was not good and lost more than a dozen times in a row. He was so angry that he blushed and his neck was thick. Cui Liu simply sent him the fighting crab shell green, and then he happily returned.

Xu Cuiliu took Xu Hao's hand to the second floor, lit the breeze stove with his own hands, and waited for the water to boil the tea. Xu Hao sat on the chaise long and looked leisurely, smiling at Cuiliu washing the tea cup seriously.

Cui Liu suddenly said, "Sister Yuying is here, right in Yushi's house. Don't you go and have a look?"

Xu Hao shook his head gently, Cui Liu asked curiously: "Why avoid it? If you hadn't gone to Yangzhou, I heard that she might have been executed unjustly."

"Two things." Xu Hao looked at the night outside the window, "Cousin can still marry a good family, why should I bother her?"

Cuiliu bit her lip and asked, "What if she never gets married in her life?"

Xu Hao smiled and said, "Then let me take it as an outdoor room. I owe enough love debts, and I don't need her any more."

Cui Liu said happily: "I knew that my third brother dared to act and take responsibility. Sister Yuying's current situation is so uncomfortable. Perhaps the sadness is greater than the death of her heart. If you can take care of her for the rest of your life, your aunt will be grateful."

Xu Hao nodded with a smile. Since he learned that Xiao Yuying was designed by his sister-in-law and wife, he could not be unwilling to be apologized, especially to his aunt Mei, so he went to Yangzhou to take the person back. However, he didn't expect that his cousin would be involved in a life lawsuit.

At this time, I heard someone chattering downstairs. Xu Hao and Cui Liu listened for a while. It turned out that they were Cuiyu and Ganoderma lucidum beside Xiao Yuying, Cui Liu's maid Li Xiang and Yu Shi's personal maid Luaner, and Cui Liu's previous personal maids had already married women.

Luan'er made great contributions to helping find the lost things that time, and Yu Shi liked her cleverness and stayed behind.

Cuiyu left the Xu family, and the old lady pointed it to the service of Mei, who asked her to serve her daughter for the time being. She would return home in a few years and wait for her to get married.

Li Xiang and Cuiyu are average at an age and have been playing together since childhood. Therefore, they do not avoid any violation of their words. They said while eating melon seeds: "Miss cousin cried as soon as she comes, but even if she cries dry out her tears, what's the benefit of her? No matter how bad our third master is, he will not marry his concubine."

Ganoderma lucidum snorted and said with a smile: "Who knows, you haven't heard of it yet? I got sick when I got home last year, and this fall is even worse. It's strange. It's strange that the Third Master saw a letter of light, and then he got better in a few days. Isn't this a strange thing? If the disease is strange, it's strange, it's strange."

Cuiyu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it. Even though Ganoderma lucidum spoke for the lady, is this letter good for people to speak in public? She couldn't help but say, "Lingzhi, what are you talking about? What are our girls doing? What are we offending you again? Otherwise, the girl will be so bad that she will be able to make you feel bad?"

If Ganoderma lucidum is the most trusted girl of Mei, she knew the little things between Mei and Xu Hao. In the past, Xu Hao rewarded her with some good things, but since the lady came back, Mei moved to Xiaojia Village and the two broke off contact. How could Ganoderma lucidum be without any resentment?

Therefore, Ganoderma turned his face and said, "Hey! What you girl said is strange. I said your girl's illness has been cured. Could it be that it is broken? Why did she invade people for no reason?"

Cuiyu said, "Who invaded people first? What did you say strangely and strangely? What did you say?"

Ganoderma cried: "You are not arrogant, what's wrong if you say something strange? I just came to pick me and said something strange. So, is it because the big girl is sick for something else? Is it better for something else?"

Cuiyu's age novel is not as good as Ganoderma lucidum, and she is speechless. Ganoderma lucidum is in power and is unforgiving. She pointed at her and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak randomly. If you say it, be careful not to tear your mouth."

Ling Yu said, "Why do you say that the girl cried and shed tears? What's the benefit of her? The girl didn't say that she was a concubine for the third master, why do you scold her?"

Ganoderma lucidum spread the melon seed skin in his arms all over the floor, stood up and cursed, "How dare you scream this little hoof? What's the benefit of her? I don't know if the third master never takes a concubine? I'll say that your girl cried and she burst into tears. What's the matter with her? "

But this said inadvertently annoyed Luan'er. At first, he held on to everyone's dignity, but later when he heard Ganoderma waking up with a more charming and powerful voice, he couldn't help but feel angry. Now seeing her even her own girl in, she was furious for a moment.

He stepped forward and slapped Cuiyu in the face and cursed: "Shameless bitch, who are you girls and we girls talking about? With your bad fox and prostitute, the girls have become side dishes? Why are you quarrels with a shrew?"

Ganoderma lucidum shouted with her eyes raised and her eyebrows: "Luan'er, who are you scolding?"

Luan'er took a step forward and spat on Ganoderma's face, raised her fingers and lit the eyes of Ganoderma, and said with her teeth: "I'm just scolding you! You bastards, how dare you gossip on the girls behind your back! Which of your parents gave you yours? Almost tighten your stinky eyes. Look at who did a good thing, hang your embroidered shoes in the dog's mouth, throw them here and there?"

After a lot of local swear words from Jinling, Ganoderma's face turned pale, but she was worried about Luan'er's identity and didn't know how to retaliate.

Looking back at Li Xiang who was watching the show, Lingzhi sneered: "We and Luan'er are both from the Xiao family. She scolds me and is the same as scolding herself. You, Sister Li Xiang, has nothing to do with it. Why are you tied up here and you are cunning and whispering? Wouldn't you be wronged?"

Li Xiang said with a cold face: "You don't have to hold me in. Luan'er and I have been making friends with each other. You can take care of yourself. Don't come and pull me into the water."

Lingzhi became more and more embarrassed and was about to fight with Luan'er, but Ling Yuzi pulled her aside with her face.

Suddenly Xu Cuiliu shouted upstairs: "Li Xiang."

Li Xiang responded quickly and went upstairs. The Ganoderma and the others were so anxious that they were uneasy. They were speechless for a moment and became silent.

Xu Hao looked at Cuiliu and stared at Li Xiang fiercely, then smiled and said, "I remembered the joke my sister-in-law told the old lady, saying that in a temple there were sages of the three religions, and believers originally offered Sakyamuni Buddha to the middle. Later, when the Taoist priests met, they moved the Supreme Laojun to the center; when the Confucians met, they moved Confucius to the middle. When the monks met, they still invited the Buddha to the middle.

The mud statues were damaged by moving around like this. The three saints said privately: We were fine, but because this guy who had nothing to do, he moved around and destroyed us."

This joke seemed unintentional, but it was actually very heartbroken, which vaguely showed that Xu Hao was a little angry. Luan'er and others were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads and knelt on the ground to admit their mistakes. Xu Hao said that he was willing to take care of himself, and got up and went there.

As soon as he came out, he saw Sister Wang from the eldest house bringing her daughter to greet her and used all her strength to greet Xu Hao.
