221, Chapter 221
When the steward heard this, both parties lighted up: "General, the three hundred war horses trained last year have become ready."
Qin Fang had the emperor's one hundred thousand taels of silver in his hand. After the racecourse was built last year, he directly bought 500 healthy young horses. The remaining silver was used to buy stallions and mares, which should be used as funds for horse breeding. Unexpectedly, after a year, there were already three hundred war horses, which shows his ability to manage things.
Qin Fang was overjoyed: "That's great, take me to see it."
Steward: "General, please. However, these three hundred horses all have owners. If they are allowed to go to the military camp, they must accompany the soldiers." During training, one soldier is paired with one horse, otherwise it will not be possible to train. . There has always been a place where there are no horses, only cavalry, because soldiers with horses are called cavalry.
Qin Fang said: "I understand."
Qin Fang went to the training ground and watched three hundred cavalry train under the command of the steward. It must be said that he was shocked. Although there were cavalry in the Yongzhou military camp, the feeling was completely different from now. The cavalry in front of him were trained from his horse farm, and the sense of accomplishment was different.
Qin Fang returned from the racecourse. As soon as he got home, he went to the study to write a letter. After writing the letter, he did not send Tao Shan to deliver it, but asked the two grooms from the palace to deliver it. No matter what they had in mind, he believed that it would be safer to let Tao Shan deliver him.
In fact, it is.
The groom quickly delivered the letter to the emperor through his own channels.
The emperor was very happy when he arrived at the racecourse and found that 300 cavalrymen had been trained. At the same time, Qin Fang's suggestion was also heard.
Because cavalry is a combination of soldiers and horses, that is to say, if you need more horses, it is best to train them together with the soldiers, so that you have to recruit soldiers. According to Qin Fang's wishes, there are two ways to recruit soldiers. One is to recruit locally in Yunxiang County. One is to send soldiers directly from other military camps. But if this happens, things about the racecourse here will be exposed.
The emperor naturally did not want the affairs of the racecourse to be exposed, so he could directly let Qin Fang recruit soldiers there.
The emperor's letter was quickly delivered to Qin Fang. In fact, Qin Fang was not surprised at all by the emperor's letter. However, his garrison here can only number one thousand. Therefore, he did not dare to recruit troops before the emperor's decree. Now that the emperor's decree is available, he can naturally go ahead and do it.
"Mother... mother..." Ever since the baby was able to call mother, he has to shout several times every day.
Yang Haiyan was sitting on the side, and Aunt Lian was playing with him. She was making bibs for the baby. But after the little baby played with Aunt Lian for a while, he wanted to play with his mother. The most direct manifestation was that he threw the ball at her mother.
Aunt Lian: "Young master is so smart, you know how to call me madam."
Yang Haiyan put down what she was doing: "It's just that I'm a little weak, so I can't throw it. By the way, has Suye mentioned anything about Miss Li recently?"
Aunt Lian said: "According to my observation, I have told the patrolling guards that Dr. Li often goes to collect herbs in the yard over there, and asked them to take care of the yard so as not to leave Miss Li alone. What happened?"
Yang Haiyan nodded: "It's better if Shouye doesn't persist anymore." Maybe he is still young and was frightened by her saying that he could not have children.
"Madam..." Suddenly, Aunt Yu's voice sounded from behind.
Aunt Lian walked out: "What's wrong?"
Aunt Yu said: "The second master is here and wants Mrs.
Although the elder sister-in-law and the younger brother-in-law have to avoid meeting each other, because of the presence of servants like Aunt Lian, they did not avoid the servants when they met. Besides, the Qin family has a simple population and there are no bad people making rumors. It’s okay to do it once or twice occasionally.
Yang Haiyan naturally heard what was said above, and she said: "Let him come." This is the leisure room for Xiaobao to play, so it doesn't matter if Qin Shouye comes.
After Qin Shouye arrived, he first bowed to her and said, "I'm going to be my sister-in-law."
Yang Haiyan: "No need to be polite, you have something to do with me?"
Qin Shouye glanced at Aunt Lian, thinking that Aunt Lian was his sister-in-law's confidant and that Aunt Lian was handling many of her affairs, so he didn't hesitate any longer and said directly: "I... The day before yesterday...the day before yesterday, my friend in the military camp celebrated his birthday. I went to his house for dinner, and then drank some wine. Something happened after drinking. "
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she couldn't help but think of the plot of some novels: "Getting involved with a girl after drinking?" She said this in a joke, but Qin Shouye's face turned red.
Yang Haiyan couldn't help but sink when he looked like this: "It can't be true, right?" With the current status of the Qin family, it is not impossible for some people to plot against Qin Shouye for the sake of wealth. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan's heart sank even more. "Tell me carefully, what happened?"
Qin Shouye was also embarrassed and said, "Yes. Yesterday, during the break, several of our close friends went to Xu Feng's house to celebrate his birthday. Because everyone was happy and drank to warm up, we had some extra wine. On the way , I went to the toilet, and because I was a little drunk, I didn’t notice anyone in the toilet when I went there. As a result, I bumped into Xu Feng’s sister, and then she screamed, which alarmed many people. Everyone saw me and Xu Feng’s sister in there, which ruined her reputation, sister-in-law, I..."
Yang Haiyan: " You should know that since my brother became a general and the Qin family became prosperous, there are always some people who have whims and stick to their business. Although we can't think too badly of people, we still have some precautions Wanted.”
Qin Shouye hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, I know. But it was me who went there at that time. If they had plotted against me, they wouldn't...not plot against me in the latrine. Moreover, this incident happened the day before yesterday. , I went to inquire about the Xu family's family tradition in the past two days, and I don't think he is that kind of person. So I just came to tell my sister-in-law about this today, what should I do? "
Yang Haiyan didn't know if the Xu Feng family he was talking about were good people. Qin Shouye went to the toilet and bumped into Xu Feng's sister after being drunk. This kind of thing is easy to solve but not easy to solve. If they just bump into each other at the door, that can still be solved. If he breaks into the latrine and is bumped into again, it will ruin the girl's reputation. But from Qin Shouye's description, it was obviously the latter.
Just: "Shouye, aren't the men's and women's toilets separate in the Xu family's toilet?" Even in a country house, there should be more than one toilet, "And if someone is using the toilet, the door should be closed, How can we open the door?”
Qin Shouye: "The Xu family does have two toilets. When I wanted to go to the toilet, I didn't know where the toilet was. Xu Feng took me there, and he also went to the toilet. He occupied one toilet. , I had no choice but to go to another toilet, and then I opened the door. At that time, I was a little dazzled and bumped into Sister Xu Feng. I have also considered these issues you have considered. It is such a coincidence. But I went to inquire about the Xu family, and the reputation of their family in the village was very good. "
Qin Shouye is no longer the same Qin Shouye as before. Over the past year and a half, he has learned a lot and is cautious in doing things. After investigation, I found out that it was a coincidence, so I came to tell Yang Haiyan. Originally, I should have told Mother Qin about this matter, but Mother Qin was not here. In fact, even if Qin's mother was here, he would still tell Yang Haiyan. He felt that the elder sister-in-law was more reliable.
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan did not say anything immediately, but said: "I will discuss this matter with my eldest brother. If it is really just a make-shift and not a plot by them, what are your plans?"
Qin Shouye felt nervous: "Sister-in-law, I..."
"Do you want to marry her?" Yang Haiyan asked.
Qin Shouye was silent. Will he marry her? He doesn't like her, he wants to marry a girl he likes, and he wants to marry Miss Li. However, he did not have the courage to face the possibility of having no heirs in the future. After his sister-in-law told him about Miss Li last year, he ran away. And by being taken to the military camp by his elder brother, he managed to escape somewhat completely. He didn't have the courage to face it, so he never mentioned it. Occasionally when I wanted to pass by the yard, I remembered my sister-in-law's words and could only stop.
But he was unwilling to marry Xu Feng's sister. But what if you don’t want to? He has ruined the girl's reputation. What will the girl do if he doesn't marry him? "I have no idea."
Yang Haiyan: "Then think about it carefully."
Qin Shouye: "Yes."
After walking out of the yard, Qin Shouye sighed deeply, feeling helpless. He didn't know how this could happen. He was so good, why did he just do this?
After Qin Shouye went out, Yang Haiyan asked Aunt Lian: "Auntie, what's going on with this matter?"
Aunt Lian said truthfully: "I don't know either. It's a coincidence. Xu Feng took the second master to the toilet, and the toilet door was open. But the calculation was not complete. How did they know that the second master was going to the toilet? Going to the toilet? "In rural areas, there are no men's and women's bathrooms, or there are no inner courtyards and outer courtyards. This would not exist in a wealthy family. "Why don't you let me go investigate?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Where are you going? Ask your husband to send someone to investigate. As for his brother, let him come up with something to prevent him from causing such a thing in the future."
Aunt Lian didn't dare to respond to this. Madam can say it, but she can't be a slave.
When Qin Fang came back during dinner, Yang Haiyan told Qin Fang about the incident. When Qin Fang heard this, he frowned: "It's the New Year, how can something like this happen?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Isn't it? The matter at Aunt Fan's house is over, and this wave is coming again. It would be okay if it was an accident, but I'm afraid someone plotted it, causing the business to suffer."
When Qin Fang heard this, he said seriously: "I will investigate."
Yang Haiyan: "Of course I have to investigate." At this point, she turned around again, "General Qin, I'm afraid there will be many girls who throw themselves into the arms of like this in the future."
