Chapter 72 Clan
[]
The general is so fierce. Chapter 72: The clan retreated from the south of Gongxian to Xuzhou to meet Hu Kai. Although the generals and officials were lazy and afraid of fighting, Xu Huai felt extremely unhappy, but he had a rare rest for several days without having to worry about the war. They rested in Qingyi Ridge for another night yesterday, and today they crossed mountains and ridges and returned to Huaiyuan. They were relaxed and they were not tired at all.
After the banquet, Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er, Wang Ju, Fan Yong and others rushed to Ruyifang where the Wang clan members lived.
The Great Yue Dynasty encouraged business breeding, and the city structure gradually replaced the traditional lifang with streets and alleys.
However, when the war came, considering the need for defense and city control, Chushan County was newly established, Huaiyuan was the county seat, and Xu Huai directly restored the Lifang system in the city.
Xu Huai envoy Cheng Yi, Su Laochang and others step by step to build arch walls in Huaiyuan City, and include semi-open houses and courtyards that were originally distributed according to the streets and alleys, including relatively independent courtyards, and use the courtyards as units to make a new division of the buildings in the city.
In addition, Xu Huai also reorganized the civilian households in the city, added Fangzheng and other officials to promote the training of rural soldiers in the city - Chushan was extremely hasty, and even at this time there was no major seal of the county government. The court may have forgotten this matter while being in a hurry. This chaos also gave Xu Huai great convenience in Huaiyuan, which can maximize the military potential in Tongbai Mountain.
In addition to the back house of the county government where Xu Huai lives, the small families of the core generals and officials of the Chushan camp were basically concentrated in Ruyifang on the west side of the county government and in Huaiyangfang. Ruyifang and Huaiyangfang on the south side of the city were Xuanyifang, the barracks of the defenders stationed in the city.
Wang Hua, Wang Zhang, Shi Hu, Zhou Yong and others were the personal guards. Before Xu Huai rushed to Xuzhou, they wanted to follow him closely, but Xu Huai sent Fan Zongqi to Huayin and brought the Wang family and his family members who were still living in Huayin County in vain. In fact, they arrived in Huayuan one day earlier than them.
In addition to Wang Ju, Fan Yong had long moved his family in Taiyuan to Tongbai Mountain. Although the Wang family and the generals who lived in Ruyifang were mainly elderly, weak, women and children, there were more than 40 people.
The two brothers Wang Xian and Wang Jun also rushed back to recognize each other and gather together.
A night banquet was also prepared here, and Xu Huai, Liu Qiong'er, Wang Ju and Fan Yong came over and sat down again.
Outside, Xu Huai was the main and Wang Ju was the auxiliary, but when he returned to the courtyard of the Wang clan's new residence, Xu Huai insisted on asking the seventh uncle Wang Ju to sit in the middle.
Xu Huai was deeply resistant to the clan system, but he could not have been separated from the times too many times, not to mention that most ordinary people in the world are subject to various limitations, dependence on clans and sense of identity.
Xu Huai also knew in his heart that not only at this time, but for a considerable period of time in the future, the Xu family and the Wang family will be the core force that supports him. For the clan, Xu Huai can only try his best to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
Xu Huai insisted that the Qi Shu Wang was in the middle and sat in the head, which was to follow the tradition of the clan. However, after sitting down, he also emphasized that he would regularly take out money and food from his salary to help the orphans and widows in the clan, and provide for the children, including girls, to learn to read and practice martial arts, but there are other privileges.
Xu Huai also hoped that the Wang clan members and widows who still had enough effort to work as much as possible; and that children must pass the examination and promotion, whether they are in the army or want to join the county government office, and the promotion must be based on their merits and merits.
Wang is his relative, and Xu is raising him, so he treats him equally.
Of course, the core figures of the Xu family are basically from Xiafang Xu. Xu Xin has been recognized by everyone after hardships. The hardships the Wang clan members have experienced over the years are hard for ordinary people to imagine. The family precepts were extremely strict earlier. No one has grown arrogant and is very satisfied with Xu Huai's arrangements. At this time, he is more addicted to the ecstasy of the clan gathering.
It only dispersed when they gathered together. Xu Huai and Liu Qiong'er walked side by side to the back house of the county government. The moon was like a string, and it was colorless for thousands of miles, and the lead-blue sky was clear.
"You went back to Huaiyuan, but you didn't ask Wang Xuan's whereabouts..." Liu Qiong'er shrank her hand in her sleeve, and there were guards following her, so Xu Huai didn't ask her to catch her.
"Ah, where is Wang Xuan? It's not too late for me to ask now!" The army was so lazy that it was rare to have such a leisurely time. Xu Huai walked slowly in the alley between Ruyifang and the county government behind his hands.
Back in Huaiyuan, I was busy responding to various people and things, but I didn't notice that Wang Xuan did not appear.
"You asked someone to arrange the Zhu family's small capital in Dazhai. Wang Xuan would not be close to Mrs. Zhu, but she was also her grandmother, so she had to serve her. Wang Xuan got the letter early this morning and rushed to Huaiyuan from Lutai. I don't know who was too much talkative. She asked Mrs. Zhu to know that you were back this time, and she came over to catch Wang Xuan and scolded her and said that there was no such thing as a big girl who went to see a man from the outside. Wang Xuan was so angry that she wanted to curse!" Liu Qiong'er mentioned the reason why Wang Xuan could not appear tonight with a smile.
Xu Huai could only spread his hands and smile bitterly, saying that he had no choice but to do anything about this.
Mrs. Zhu was not only Wang Fan's mother-in-law, Wang Xuan's grandmother, but also Zhu Han's mother, Zhu Zhi and Zhu Tong's grandmother. She could not fight against the Lord of Rongle County in the inner house, but she was also the master who was good at raising the superiors and was so angry that she could not help. When Xu Huai brought the Zhu family to Tongbai Mountain, he was worried that Mrs. Zhu would be difficult to deal with, so he simply sent the Zhu family to Lutai Village to support him. Unexpectedly, the old lady was too bored in the mountains, but she was strict in regulating Wang Xuan.
"Will the Prime Minister Wang listen to your persuasion, and be patient for the time being, and not argue with the officials and ministers who are seeking peace?" Liu Qiong'er asked, "I heard that the Prime Minister Wang is not in good health. If he is demoted from the capital again, his body may not be able to withstand..."
Xu Huai looked up at Xian Yue above his head and said, "This is really hard to say. Sometimes it may not be possible for me and Zhu Han to persuade each other, nor may the king's grandfather do not know the principle of temporarily enduring and planning for the future. Most of the time, people are involuntarily involuntarily-"
Emperor Tianxuan, Wang Qiyong, Wang Boqian and other close ministers all insisted on seeking peace. Those who were afraid of DDT warriors naturally tried their best to follow him. But how could the chief war officers in Bianliang City accept this matter calmly? How could they not be angry or angry?
As the leader of the war faction, if Wang Bing is the only leader in the war faction, if he is eager to ask for peace in the court and the huge hidden dangers laid by the peace, what will other active war officials think of him? Could this be Wang Bing's betrayal of them?
Although Xu Huai longed for Wang Bing to be forbearable and hoped that Wang Bing would be in Bianliang when the Chihu people invaded the south for the second time, and hoped that Wang Bing could support King Jing to fight for the legitimate power, but others were not in Bianliang, and lacked a layer of empathy, it was impossible to determine what choice Wang Bing would make in the end.
"It's rare to leave these trivial matters behind you and stop thinking about them!" Xu Huai said while stepping into the yard of the county yard's back house, stretching his waist.
If he really wants to talk about things, he can't finish it even if he doesn't sleep for a night, but even if he doesn't sleep tonight, he doesn't want to talk about things.
Seeing Xu Huai's bright eyes, Liu Qiong'er grabbed his palms covered with thick calluses with her back hand and whispered: "You are so stinky, don't want to touch me - I'll find someone to cook a pot of water for you, and then use a bristle brush to brush it for you later!"
After entering the yard of the back house, Liu Qiong'er turned around and walked back to the back room.
Liu Qiong'er had ordered someone to prepare soup before. Xu Huai went back to the room to take off his armor and picked up a letter from the text piled on the desk. After a while, Liu Qiong'er walked in with a few servants and carried a large wooden barrel with hot steam into the room. He then carried a copper stove for charcoal and set up an iron pot so that he could add hot water to the barrel at any time.
"Oh, keep these shorts and sit in!" Liu Qiong'er saw that Xu Huai was about to take off her naked, so she hurriedly stopped him, but saw that his shame-covering shorts were so bad that they could not cover anything. She reached out to cover her face and waved her hand to signal him to take it off and then sit in the wooden barrel.
"You haven't seen him for a few months, don't you want it?" Xu Huai made at most basin of hot water in the army to scrub his body, and there was not so much attention. At this time, he sat in the wooden bucket of hot water, and felt that his pores were spread open at this moment, and he grabbed Liu Qiong'er's soft and smooth little hand and pressed it into the water.
"Stop messing around, you are covered in mud, do you want me to clean it for you?" Liu Qiong'er couldn't shrink back and opened her mouth to bite Xu Huai's stubble chin. Seeing that Xu Huai was going to pull her into the wooden barrel, she begged for mercy, "This bucket of water is too dirty. You wash it quickly, I'll serve you again..."
Although Liu Qiong'er is weak and cannot stand the ravage, she wished she could turn all her thoughts into this desperate lingering relationship after two or three months of separation.
Until the clear morning light penetrated through the paper-covered window, Liu Qiong'er couldn't hold on, so she begged for mercy and quilted in Xu Huai's arms. She listened to the roosters crowing far and near, and said softly: "At this time, the mountains are green, and the paths of the mountain roads are full of yellow wild flowers, which are very brilliant - otherwise we won't have to be busy dealing with affairs today. Let's go to Dazhai to pay a visit to Mrs. Zhu first, and see Wang Xuan by the way, so that the little girl will not get angry and get sick!"
"I haven't closed my eyes and slept for a while. Don't I have a good time to take some rest during the day?" Xu Huai asked.
"..." Liu Qiong'er glared at Xu Huai's beautiful eyes, but she had not yet slept, but Xu Huai couldn't get up as soon as she returned to Huaiyuan, so she had to find a reason to go out of the city to avoid everyone.
She didn't want to yawn and see outsiders.
