Chapter 221 Happy Events Come
"Teacher, there is an urgent letter here to go and see it for the master!"
After Su Anqi's crisp answer, Zhou Yang didn't say anything, patted the child's forehead and left happily, while Su Anqi continued to run over.
If anyone is loved by everyone in Li Meng's Jiaozhou Camp system, then it is only this cute child. Other children are still naughty and lawless at this age. However, Su Anqi's parents died since childhood, and with the education of Father Federer, she is much more sensible than her peers.
A cute child who knows how to move forward and backward is loved by everyone, but he is not spoiled. Every day, he has time to pray with Father Federer or learn from Juren Zhou and Master Ning.
You should know that in the contemporary European era, the cultural class was the nobles and priests. Father Federer traveled across the ocean to China to preach, and could endure the hardships. He was obviously a relatively outstanding figure. Zhou Juren and Ning Shiye were the most educated people in the Jiaozhou Camp system.
Su Anqi was taught by both sides. Although she was young, she was very knowledgeable and smart. She was now a servant in Li Meng's study. She was the confidant of the Grand Marshal. I don't know what she would develop in the future? So she was young, but no one dared to underestimate him.
In the fort, this corridor is separated from the back hall and the inner study room. There are urgent letters and reports from other places, all of which are placed in the back hall and are taken to the inner study room by Su Anqi. The personal guards guarding the back hall are responsible for verbal communication.
Su Anqi ran to the door, took a few breaths, took a calm breath, and said:
"Master, Zhao Dusi of Pingdu has a hurry to come over."
Li Meng was about to return to the back house for dinner, but when he heard Su Anqi's silly shouting outside, he couldn't help but smile and asked him to come in. He also liked this sensible and precocious child. Sometimes he thought about it, maybe this is his mentality of getting married. If you like children, you also want a child.
Su Anqi came in and handed the letter to Li Meng in both hands. After Li Meng opened the letter, Su Anqi flattened the envelope and placed it on the desk. Li Meng asked casually:
"How is Master Fei doing? I don't see him going out!"
Master Fei is naturally the priest Federer. If it were a wealthy place like the capital, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hang and Songchang, he would naturally know what the name of this priest was. However, the Denglai area has always been a poor place, and he didn't know what the name of the clergy in this foreign church was.
Originally, he wanted to be called a foreign monk or a foreign Taoist priest, but Li Meng was funny and awkward when he heard it. He didn't want others to know that he had foreigners, so he simply ordered his subordinates to be called "Master Fei". The word "Master" was originally useful for calling a Taoist monk, and it was just right to call it this way.
Hearing Li Meng's inquiry, Su Anqi quickly replied:
"The master prays at home every day, saying that he is thanking the Heavenly Father for his gift, and he will probably come out in three days."
"Thank you for the picture album that Master Fei painted for me. I heard that Master Fei and Yangren Deng had a fight a few days ago?"
Su Anqi's little face was a little embarrassed and she whispered:
"That time, the master said that Uncle Deng didn't know how to cherish this luck. He spent much more time drinking and having fun every day than practicing martial arts. Uncle Deng used the alcohol to urge him."
After saying this, Su Anqi secretly looked up at Li Meng and said hesitantly:
"Master, Uncle Deng is also a good person..."
The word "Yes" made Li Meng laugh suddenly, bent down slightly and pinched Su Anqi's little face, and said with a smile:
"Deng Yangren is a good person, I know that people are too lazy. I will send him to Zhao Neng's side tomorrow. If someone practices well, they will become diligent."
Su Anqi nodded excitedly, Li Meng ignored him and spread the letter to look. Su Anqi secretly looked at Li Meng's face and found that the smile remaining on her face was increasing when she was reading the letter. She couldn't help laughing, and her laughter was extremely refreshing.
After laughing, Li Meng sang hello outside and said:
"Hello Chen Liu, Wang Hai, Tang Er, Huang Ping, Ning Gangui went to the outer hall to discuss the matter in the afternoon. See you after lunch. Go and report it!"
The personal soldiers outside agreed and hurriedly ran out, asked Su Anqi to have dinner, and told him that he didn't have to come in the afternoon. In addition to letting the child learn, Li Meng also wanted to make him live a happier life.
The lunch in the inner house is quite particular. It was a table of dishes made by Mu Yunyao personally. Mu Yunyao, Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi were invited to the table together. This was also Mu Yunyao, following her mother's instructions, and assembled the women around Li Meng earlier. Everyone should make a good relationship, which proves that she is not jealous. A woman's jealousy is one of the unfaithful virtues of women.
Li Meng didn't think of this profound meaning at all. Seeing his wife and a few girls laughing at the dinner table, he also felt quite relaxed. He also understood that if a woman gets married, it will be difficult for her to have anything to do with the outside world.
Although there is also the habit of officials' internal relatives interacting with each other, it is almost impossible for Li Meng to do what he wants to do in Shandong, and his internal relatives interacting with each other. Li Meng is also unwilling to sit in the yard every day, doing nothing, and having a few companions is the best choice. Mu Yunyao's three daughters are the best choice.
The smile on Mu Yunyao's face was pretending. Yan Ruoran's inner house was completely open to Mu Yunyao's three girls. Naturally, he could not be rude during the wedding. However, he naturally had to come to watch it with such proactive requests. Mu Yunyao never understood. Yan Ruoran was not as beautiful as herself, and her conversation was also moderate. She didn't understand anything about the political situation of the court. She was just a regular family woman. Why did Li Meng like it so much?
But Gu Hengbo and Liu Rushi performed very normally. What these two women observed was different from Mu Yunyao. They saw that Yan Ruoran's personality was not such a harsh person, but was easily content. They were quite gentle, which also made them relieved. They still had a chance in Li Meng's inner house.
However, these three girls have a unified understanding, that is, Li Meng was indeed extremely happy, with a smile on his face held from beginning to end at the banquet, and even told a few jokes for the first time.
It seems that Li Meng's married life is indeed extremely happy, otherwise how could he be so happy? But even Yan Ruoran didn't know the reason for this happiness. The girl thought it was because she invited Mu Yunyao's three daughters to the banquet. Li Meng was so excited that she couldn't help but feel that her behavior of showing that she was not jealous was indeed wise, but she was not very comfortable after all.
Yan Ruoran has a habit of doing something Li Meng does outside. If Li Meng doesn't say it when she goes home, she never asks about it. Only when she is clear inside and outside can men like this family more. This is also her mother's teaching.
After dinner and chatting for a few simple words, Li Meng was not stunned for a long time and went straight to the front hall again, which made Yan Ruoran a little confused again.
After Li Meng got married, Jiaozhou Camp was temporarily idle. These civil and military officials went home to rest well. This time, they were suddenly called by Li Meng. They thought something big had happened. They looked cautious in the front hall. Wang Hai was still secretly asking Chen Liu what happened.
As soon as they saw Li Meng enter the house, everyone immediately stood up and saluted. After seeing the smile on Li Meng's face, they were a little relaxed. It was probably not a big deal for their own head to relax so much.
"Everyone, I'm very happy!"
As soon as Li Meng entered the door, he said excitedly. Everyone was stunned at first, and then his curiosity became even higher. He thought about what a good thing it was. Li Meng raised the letter paper in his hand and explained loudly:
"The Zhaodusi of Pingdu Prefecture sent someone to deliver a letter this morning, and the letter said that the food and wages allocated to us by the court were robbed."
Ning Gangui, Huang Ping and Chen Liu were older and could calm down. Wang Hai was already slapped on the coffee table beside him, and he stood up and cursed:
"Did you dare to touch the Jiaozhou Camp if you kill me? Is it because you have long life?"
Tang Er also said loudly from the side:
"I don't know what I know about life and death. The adult told the young man that the bastard was there. The young man led the horse team to defeat them. Could it be that he was not open to his eyes? So many destroyed villages and strands did not see blood?"
Seeing that the traffic was very effective, Li Meng smiled and handed the letter to Ning Gangui next to him, and ordered:
"Mr. Ning, read the matters in the letter."
At the beginning, Wang Hai and Tang Er were still standing there angrily, but they were a little shocked when they listened to the content of the letter. They looked at Li Meng with their eyes, not knowing why this was considered a "happy event".
Li Meng relied on the money he earned from his private salt, and his troops were completely self-sufficient, but the layers of deducted food, money and weapons assigned by the court could not be denied. Even the 10,000 people had to be scraped off even if it was the Ministry of War, the Governor's Office, and the soldiers' preparations. The absolute number of people he had to be in his hands was still quite large, and he could do a lot of things.
The food and salary were transported from Tongzhou, the capital of the capital, and then passed through Jinan Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture and then to Laizhou Prefecture. Jinan Prefecture is the capital of Shandong, and Shandong General Qiu Lei was stationed there. Qiu Lei's troops were very interesting. It was separated by Li Meng's Laizhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture.
The food and wages in Jiaozhou Camp have been owed for almost half a year. Although there were major disasters last year, Yan Jizu's new governor to Shandong always had to give some benefits to the military leaders below. In addition, Liu Zeqing was suddenly attacked and killed by the thieves, so the amount of money owed was also much smaller, and he was always in his hands.
Of course, the group that was given to Shandong General Qiu Lei was successfully received. However, when Zhao Neng led his men to the border between Jinan Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture to receive the food and pay belonging to Jiaozhou Camp, the civil servant who transported the food and pay appeared in front of Zhao Neng in a shameless manner, saying that the food and pay were snatched by General Qiu's soldiers.
