Chapter 1080 The Old Lady Is Too Smart to Be Fooled
In a short period of time, the news spread from the capital was boiling in Nanling like boiling water.
The people cheered for Qin Xiao's return to the position of general.
In Nanling, in terms of military exploits and prestige, no one can compare to Qin Xiao, and no one can replace his position in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, everyone in Nanling is happy to see the success of this.
It's just that people have some doubts about the general's intention to station troops on the northwest border.
In people's perception, the canal is the boundary between Nanling and Xiliang, and a canal separates the border between the two countries.
Now the general wants to lead troops across the canal, and stationing troops on the other side of the canal, is it equivalent to crossing the border?
As soon as this doubt came out, it was immediately overturned by the general's supporters.
The general is upright, how could he do something like a robber?
Since he dared to garrison troops, the place to garrison them must belong to Nanling.
You can't go wrong.
Anyway, regarding the integrity of the general, the people of Nanling are very confident.
The same goes for the people in Xinghua Village.
A general who can order the entire guard to work for the villagers to pay off the debts of the villagers, can he do something like a robber?
impossible.
On this topic, the big pagoda tree at the entrance of Xinghua Village is full of people from the next evening to the next evening. In the past, most of them were old men and old ladies chatting with their children. Now even young adults and women of all ages in the village Join the chatter squad.
Just to protect the general who appeared in their Xinghua Village once.
In the eyes of Xinghua Village and the surrounding villagers, anyone who can enter the Liu family compound and stay in the Liu family compound for a long time is a good person.
Rebuttals are not accepted.
The afterglow of the setting sun was gradually engulfed by the night, and the whole village fell into night. The voices in the village urging to go home for dinner yelled over and over again, and the people under the big locust tree were willing to disperse.
Mr. Liu bumped into the tea mug and walked home slowly. He heard the roar of the old woman in the yard before he entered the gate.
"If you're calling for dinner, you'll have to urge me three times and invite you four times, and if you don't come back, you won't have any food left!"
"You old woman, what are you doing shouting so loudly? Isn't this coming back? It's just a little bit at night, and you're on fire."
"When the sun goes down, it's time to go home for dinner. Why don't you check what time it is? It's still a little late. Next time, if you do it again, you can start a small stove when you come back!"
"All right, all right, come back on time tomorrow, stop yelling, it makes people laugh, isn't it?"
The old man is petty and humble, and Liu Zhiqiu squatted at the door of the kitchen and watched happily, "You can see our grandfather like this when grandma is yelling, sir, you are the oldest man in the family, our family rules , don’t be angry with your daughter-in-law. Next time you come back late, grandma will have to wait on you with a stick, and you can weigh it yourself, ah.”
"Boss, second child, we will add one more family rule from today, if the juniors dare to laugh at the elders, the family law will serve them with rattan."
"Understood, dad, I've always been the most honest in our family, never talking back to the elders, dad, what do you say?"
"Father, tomorrow I will weave a cane for you and hang it in the main room. Which bastard is mad at you, just pick up the cane and smoke it!"
Liu Zhiqiu flashed into the kitchen. Doesn't it make it clear that it's aimed at him? Besides him, who else is the bastard in the family now?
"Grandma, I'm your grandson, Xiaobaicai. Don't make anything else for dinner tomorrow, just stew me. Your grandson is almost dead."
"Our family doesn't eat the cabbage that has been cultivated to perfection. Whoever wants it will take it."
"Grandma, am I so unlovable?"
Later, the old man walked in and kicked the obstructive grandson to the side, "Seeing the sky dangling in front of you, what makes you hurt when you look in the mirror?"
Sitting in front of the stove, the old man added firewood to the fire, "Old lady, do you like cabbage? Let's grow two kinds of cabbage later."
"What to plant? The vegetable field is so big and it is full of plants. There is no place for you to sow vegetable seeds."
"What's so difficult about it, pull up the vegetables on the ground and distribute them to each family in the village. Let's grow cabbages on the vacant land!"
The fire was bright, and the summer heat was so hot that people's foreheads were covered with sweat, and the old woman behind the stove blushed.
It was very hot, but the old lady couldn't restrain the smile lines on her face.
Liu Zhiqiu retreated silently, and led his daughter-in-law to set the dishes and chopsticks on the table quietly, at this moment he really didn't dare to make a sound.
Disturbing the old man to coax the old lady is an unforgivable crime, and it will be punished with ten tortures.
It's no wonder that the old lady is very angry today, and rumors are flying all over the sky. In the eyes of ordinary people, the almost forgotten northwest border line of the Nanling Garrison is gratifying.
But those rumors were another speculation in the Liu family's ears.
Suddenly, why did the court suddenly station troops in the northwest?
Their old lady is not stupid, she can think that the matter must have something to do with the little granddaughter and others who are still in Xiliang country.
And the two sides have been unable to communicate with each other, so don't worry?
At the dinner table, the old lady still didn't hold back and brought up the matter.
"What's going on with Nannan and Ah Xiu over there? I've been flustered since I haven't heard from you for so long."
"Grandma, don't think too much, there is Feng Qingbai here, what can happen?" Liu Zhiqiu comforted, "The news of Xiliang Kingdom does not spread, and the court does not know about things we don't know. I guess Xiao Feng'er The garrison will be sent to deter Xiliang, so that my daughter and the others can travel more smoothly in the territory of Xiliang."
While speaking, he quietly winked at Wei Hong and Wei Lan.
Wei Lan nodded immediately, "Madam, it's really no big deal for the master and the others there. When we were in Xiliang, the master sent Wei Cheng to lurk in Mocheng. There is a connection between us and Wei Cheng."
"The latest news from over there is that the master and the daughter are in the capital city of Xiliang. I don't know what they want to investigate for the time being. If the master doesn't say it, we can't guess it. But it's really not a big deal, otherwise Wei Cheng would have sent back the signal." Wei Hong's words are more convincing than Wei Lan's. She has been in charge of sending and receiving messages in Xinghua Village these years.
The old woman glanced at the few people and said angrily, "I just asked casually, so you don't have to be so nervous. The old woman has also gone through a big storm, or was she fooled by your few words? Have dinner."
"..."
Everyone bowed their heads and ate in silence.
No way, the old lady is getting more and more sophisticated, so it's not easy to lie.
If I want to coax the old lady in the future, I really have to rack my brains.
Under the table, Liu Er stepped on Liu Zhiqiu's foot, the pain was so painful that Liu Zhiqiu almost choked on the food in his mouth.
——Stinky boy, you will improve in the future.
Why am I not growing up? Every time I coax the old lady, I will do it, you have always only put wood in the back!
——Contradict the elders, serve the family law, and rattan. Shall I make it rougher tomorrow?
In the future, I will definitely take it as my duty to make the old lady happy.
...
At the dinner table of Liu's family, everyone worked together, and the solemn and dull atmosphere never gathered for three breaths.
On the side of Xiliang, Liu Yusheng followed Feng Qingbai, Xue Qinglian, and Qianyi to avoid their eyes and ears, and finally successfully landed in a small town sixty miles away from the capital.
The third shift is over, goblins, starting to pay off the debt tomorrow, see you tomorrow, I’m so hungry, I’m going to eat~
