Chapter 1839 Take the initiative to attack
Hou San, who received a new mission again, was like a dry river ushering in a heavy rain, and was once again full of vitality. If it weren't for fear of scaring others, Hou San would really want to scream three times to express his excitement. The big stone pressing on his heart could finally be moved away. The mood of fighting side by side with Hu You again was so wonderful.
"You look very happy." At the corner, a figure appeared in front of Hou San. Just looking at the huge shadow, you can basically guess who he is, because the entire Longcheng is afraid that he will not be able to find the first person who can pull such a big shadow under the moonlight.
"Yes, I'm so happy. Do you know that I just received a new task from the Young Marshal. It was handed over to me by the Young Marshal himself." Hou San wanted to come forward and kiss Zhu Daneng. Of course, it had to be under the premise that Zhu Daneng was willing, otherwise Zhu Daneng, who had a huge shadow under the moonlight, would probably knock him out with one punch.
Zhu Daneng smiled and said, "It seems that I'm coming at the right time. Let's have a drink and celebrate with you."
"No." Hou San shook his head very much and said, "I want to complete any drinking matters this time as soon as possible. Let's talk about it later. I'll treat you to drink at that time."
"Hahaha, the young marshal did not read you wrong, and you did not disappoint us. I was joking with you, but there is no wine for you to drink now. Let's go and go to your place and let's talk about the task."
Hou San also smiled and said, "I knew you would definitely help me. This time, it really caused you trouble." Hou San knew that Hu You could re-emphasize him so quickly had a lot to do with Zhu Daneng helping him talk from time to time. Although this old friend who had been in love for more than 20 years would bicker with him from time to time, their friendship was really a fierce battle.
Zhu Daneng shook his head and said, "It's brother, so don't say that. In fact, this time, the Young Marshal's re-employment of you has nothing to do with me. It's entirely because of your own efforts and efforts. Besides, who would be the one who hurt the most if something like this happened? It's not you or me, it's the Young Marshal. In fact, I can see that he didn't really blame you, but himself. He felt that it was because he didn't do well enough that you and Hongye would do such things for him."
Hou San nodded silently. Zhu Daneng's words were right. Over the years, Hu You would count all those who have made contributions. If there was a major mistake on any issue, Hu You would definitely be the first to find problems from himself. I still remember that time, two lower-level officers were corrupt and abused the law. The people of the table tennis court, Hu You did not punish the two officers first, but to punish himself first. He took off his military uniform and received a whip in front of the common people. That was really a blow. A whip was a blood mark, and it hurts when he saw it on the side.
"Okay, don't think about the past anymore. People's eyes are born in front of us, so we want to look forward. Since the young marshal has given you the task again, that is, trust in you. You must do it well so that you will not disappoint the young marshal."
"Well, I understand. Let's go back quickly. You have to tell me all the news you know, and I must find out that person as soon as possible!"
*********************************************************
As the situation in Longcheng gradually improved, more and more wealthy households moved back to Longcheng. Ma Decai was one of them.
In terms of the resources controlled by him, Ma Decai has a much greater family fortune than Sun Buer. After analyzing with Zhu Daneng, Hou San felt that Ma Decai's seventh concubine whom he married three years ago was likely to have problems.
One of the reasons why I suspect the Seventh concubine is because she has a good relationship with Sun Buer’s wife. The reason why Mrs. Sun was able to marry into the Sun Buer’s family was the one that the Seventh concubine led to.
Hou San was waiting at the back door of the Ma family at this time. He was not going to sneak in from here, but he came here to meet the workers. Ma Decai hadn't been long for Longcheng just now, and the servants were seriously insufficient. When Hou San found out that the Ma family had recruited the servants, he naturally came to him. No matter how good the surveillance was, it was not as useful as close-fitting as the close-up. Although even if he was recruited into the Ma family, he would not have the chance to be with the Qi concubine, but this is the best opportunity to approach at present. At least there was something wrong with the Ma family, Hou San could get the news as soon as possible.
"What would you do?" The manager looked up and down at Hou San. Hou Santian was young, and his twenty-year career in the battlefield was both bloody and stormy, which made him look much older than his real age. In short, it was a very unappreciating appearance. Naturally, the manager could not fall in love with Hou San.
Before Hou San came, he had already expected that this would be the case. However, he came prepared and naturally would not be unable to pass this level. Before he came, Hou San had found out that he was in charge of business and wine. There are all kinds of people in the world, and they also have various preferences. Some people are rich, some are lustful, some are famous, and some are profitable. No matter what he is good at, as long as he is angry, it is the best breakthrough.
Now is the most difficult time in Tianfeng Continent. The people have no food left, so there is no excess food to make wine. Someone once said: It is easy to find women, but it is difficult to find wine.
This sentence doesn't seem to be very pleasant at first glance, but it makes sense when you think about it. You never choose a person who is hungry. Whether it is a beauty or an ugly person, you will be hungry if you don't eat it for a few days. What's wrong with a beauty? Those who don't eat it will die. When she is too hungry, a bite of cold rice can make a woman do anything. Under the same conditions, it is not that easy to find some wine.
Hou San used a bottle of wine to open up the way to the Ma family. In a blink of an eye, he became a handyman in the Ma family, specializing in handling flowers and plants and other miscellaneous tasks, which was relatively easy.
Hou San didn't care what job he was in. What he cared about was whether he had the opportunity to find what he needed. Now, the conditions were already there. Whether he could gain something depends on his ability on one hand, and on the other hand, it depends on his luck on the other.
*********************************************************
The launch of red heart vermicelli not only brings surprise to the people, but also suppresses those uneasy emotions. With food, the world is stable, so the people do not care who is stronger or weak. As long as they are not hungry, they will not have any objections. On the contrary, they will not agree. This or that will happen.
"The problem of eating has been basically solved. What we need to wait for now is news from Hou San and the spring plowing in the next tenth spring."
Hu You summarized the previous situation at the meeting. At this meeting, there were only three participants, and the other two were Zhu Daneng and Rijkaard.
Zhu Daneng said: "For the time being, we can only wait for news. Regarding spring plowing, we still have some problems. If we don't solve it, we may not be able to proceed as planned."
Rijkald agreed: "Zhu Daneng said it well. We can wait on Housan. But on the side of Chunfen, we cannot wait. We must act as soon as possible to avoid missing the time again. This miss is a year, and we really cannot lose another year."
Hu You nodded and said, "I know what you mean. Are we not discussing this person's problem now? Speaking of which, it's all your fault. If you don't hide any good places, you just want to hide the grain in a place where birds don't poop. It makes it difficult for us to go now."
Rijkald stared and said, "If I hadn't been so far away, would you still want to have food to grow now? I'd long since I went into whose stomach."
Speaking of the issue of grain planting, Hu You had to admit that Rijkaard had more experience than Dongfang Hanyi. He could actually accumulate grain planting on the side in the face of a very shortage of food and protect it very well so that he could use it one day in the future.
In comparison, Dongfang Hanyi did not think of such a long-term thing. Of course, this has a lot to do with their perspective on things. Rijkald had been an emperor for decades. He knew much more clearly than Dongfang Hanyi when an empire lacked what it needed. Dongfang Hanyi was just a businessman after all. He did not think about the interests of the empire no matter what he encountered, but considered it according to the method of returning to the normal world. Naturally, this result was not as long-term as Rijkald.
Rijkald had considered it for a long time this time, but it was not perfect. He arranged the place where he stored grain in Qingzhou, and from Longcheng to Qingzhou, it was more than a few thousand miles away. No one could have expected what would happen along the way. Even if nothing happened, the transportation cost for this round and round trip was huge.
Hu You said helplessly: "Okay, this time it's better to make sense. What we need to consider now is how to transport the grain back safely."
The Taiping Empire's sphere of influence has not reached as far as Qingzhou. Qingzhou is now a homeless land, and the degree of chaos is even greater than that of An Rong's invasion of Mandra. This trip will definitely not be calm.
"I think I'll go." Zhu Daneng took the initiative. Rijkaard and Ben could not use their real body to command the soldiers. However, Hu You was missing in the situation and in the Red Heart Bank. Now the only person who can take time and effort to transport grain in Qingzhou is Zhu Daneng. If he doesn't go, Hu You really has no other candidates.
Hu You and Rijkald looked at each other and sighed, "It seems that this is the only way. Zhu Daneng, this trip is not easy to go, you should take care of yourself along the way!"
Rijkald interrupted, feeling very owed to repair, "There is still time to hurry up and we must come back before spring plowing, otherwise we will have to wait another year!"
*********************************************************
It has been three days since Hou San entered the Ma family, and so far, everything has been going well. The garden he managed is the largest garden in the Ma family. The seventh concubine is good at flowers and will come here to see flowers from time to time. Although Hou San has not found anything on her, she is still familiar with her.
On that day, while trimming flowers and plants, Hou San saw the Seventh Queen again. What should the servant do? How could the person who is playing intelligence do not know? He ran over to be the Seventh Queen from afar and greeted her. Even if he didn't have the chance, he was thinking about how to get close to Seventh Queen. Now that there is such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?
"Well, you got up early enough." The seventh concubine had met Hou San several times. Although she had never asked Hou San's name, she also knew that Hou San was a new gardener, and she was quite capable. At least she had a good vision and knew who was in charge here.
Yes. Now, this Seventh Queen is responsible for some of the things. Many times, her words are effective for Ma Decai's words.
Hou San smiled foolishly and said, "The rain and dew in the morning are better. Taking care of the flowers at this time can make the flowers grow better and more beautiful."
This is the gap. Most of the people don’t even have food. These wealthy families who control a lot of resources are in the mood to plant flowers and raise birds.
The seventh concubine glanced at the flower buds that had just come out and said, "I really hope they can grow up soon. I haven't seen beautiful flowers for a long time."
"Yes, madam, I will definitely show my skills and will never let you down." Hou San has been with Hu You for so many years. His mouth was not blown, no, it should be said that it was blown. Even if he knew that he could not stay here until the flowers grew, he could also make up hope for others with peace of mind.
"That's the best." The seventh concubine was very satisfied with Hou San's answer. In particular, Hou San always called her one wife at a time, rather than calling him the seventh concubine like some unsightly servants. This alone would be enough to make her have a certain favorable impression of Hou San.
"Madam, are you going out?" Hou San asked quickly when he saw that Uncle Qi had the intention to go out.
"Well. I heard that the market is quite lively. I haven't gone out for a long time. I want to go over and take a look." Women, no matter how old they are, like to go shopping and buy things. There are not many things you can play these days, and shopping is just one of the good activities.
Hou Sanpeng smiled and said, "I heard that a lot of things in the market require food to be exchanged. Why don't you let me accompany my wife for a trip?"
*********************************************************
Is shopping with a beauty a good job?
Some people think it's counting, while others think it's not counting, because it's a very physically consuming job. People who are not very strong are really unable to do such a job.
After taking the initiative to fight, Hou San finally got the opportunity to go shopping with Aunt Qi. At this time, he carried half a bag of rice and followed Aunt Qi, ready to help Aunt Qi pay the bill at any time.
The seventh concubine probably never dreamed that the gardener who was stunned in her eyes was the biggest intelligence leader in Tianfeng Continent. If she had no secrets, it would be better. Otherwise, she would be afraid that no color would be worn by her underwear to escape Hou San's eyes.
Since Hou San came out with the Seventh Queen, his eyes have never really left her body. Of course, Hou San is not the little bit of the Seventh Queen. Although she is really beautiful, in Hou San's eyes, she is still far from Ou Yueyue, so Hou San will not have any inappropriate thoughts about her.
I observed her because Hou San felt that the seventh concubine came out at this time and was afraid that she would not just go shopping. Hou San thought so, but the reason was very simple. The sun was too cruel.
It's noon now, and the streets are very lively, but they are also very sunny. A woman who cares very much about her appearance will not choose to go shopping at this time. Hou San judged that she should have an appointment with someone or even secretly met. This time he got into the Ma family just to check on the Qi concubine, so she couldn't let her finish the contact easily, and he didn't know anything.
The seventh concubine was very generous. She had only been around fifty meters all the way, and she had already changed a lot of things. These days, there are a few red heart potatoes sayings that have been very amazing. The seventh concubine asked Hou San to carry rice, one of the people's favorite staple foods. They were all willing to trade with the seventh concubine, and almost all the things that the seventh concubine liked were replaced.
"You're tired." He successfully changed to a hairpin and the seventh concubine greeted her three times.
Hou San's back is now full of things. Everything is available, all of which are today's spoils.
"It's okay, fortunately, Madam, just keep going, I have no problem." Hou San gritted his teeth. He had enough things on his body, and no matter how many more it would be, he would die. Now, no matter whether he would die or not, he would have to follow the Qi concubine's side.
The seventh concubine smiled and said, "This book is not your job. You came out today to help me get things. No matter how you say it, I can't make you too tired. Well, there is a herbal tea shop there, you can just go there and have a tea and wait for me there."
Of course, Hou San knew that there was a herbal tea shop, but what he wanted to know more was that the seventh concubine deliberately sent him away, and what she was going to do.
"Okay, then I'll go there and wait for you." If you want to check someone, you have to give them a chance to act first. Hou San almost didn't think about it, so he agreed to the seventh concubine's advice.
Hou San wanted to give space for Qi Aunt Qi to connect with the person who was connected. Hou San thought that his judgment was correct. Qi Aunt Qi should be connected with the person who was connected today.
