"Liaodong?" Qin Ping paused while holding the tea bowl and looked at his wife Cai Shengnan.

Cai Shengnan smiled and put a bowl of cold noodles on the table and set the chopsticks: "That's what my sister-in-law said. She was still a little worried. She couldn't bear to let her daughter go to Liaodong with her husband to live in Liaodong after she got married. She didn't know how much separation she would have from her family.

Year."

Cai Shengnan did not mention Xiao Xue's speculation about the possible war in Liaodong, but only mentioned Cai Shiqi's promotion and transfer. Xiao Xue's face was full of sorrow when he came to visit today. Many people saw it. This cannot be hidden.

It's better to tell half the truth. What's more, Cai Shengnan also has information he wants to know.

Qin Ping thought for a while and said: "The fourth niece's wedding should be next year. Cai Shiqi will be transferred to Liaodong now, which is actually a little early." In fact, it is a little unexpectedly early. But this is also a last resort.

The Yunyang Marquis Mansion originally planned to let Cai Shiqi go to Liaodong after getting married, but the current situation... there is nothing wrong with going earlier. At this time, it is more convenient to plan in Liaodong in advance, and it can also give Cai Shi

7. Find a more favorable position.

Therefore, Qin Ping said to Cai Shengnan: "Cai Shiqi is just one of the people who was transferred to Liaodong. Marquis Yunyang intended to transfer his clan members away from the city guards. Except for a few people who were transferred to the Forbidden Army, several others were transferred to other borders.

There are those going to towns, Xuanfu, Datong, Yulin, etc. There should be four going to Liaodong. Except for one who is in his prime, he has already passed there a year ago, and there are two others who should all go to Liaodong within this year.

There will be transfer orders. Cai Shiqi is the youngest among them, so he is not a special case. After the King of Liao was demoted, Liaodong replaced a group of military attachés and needed to fill a large number of manpower. Even the soldiers below will follow.

Other border towns changed their defenses. The Cai family took advantage of the situation and occupied a few positions, which is just a normal thing. The Ma family and the Min family should have the same plan, but they just went to different places. Liaodong is so big."

Cai Shengnan came from Shuozhou, and although she was relatively acquainted with the Cai family, she didn't get along for a long time, so she couldn't find out many things casually. Therefore, although she was a daughter of the Cai family, she was well-informed.

But it may not be as good as Qin Ping, who works under the command of Marquis Yunyang. She doesn't know that four members of the clan will be transferred to Liaodong, but she has heard of the one who will be transferred first. According to seniority

, although that one is older, she wants to call her little aunt.

She then asked Qin Ping: "With so many people transferred by Marquis Yunyang, will there be a lot of vacancies in the city guard?" After a pause, she lowered her voice and asked, "Will the Chu family be benefited by everyone?"

Qin Ping smiled: "I will definitely let Commander Chu occupy a few positions. But there are not many people in the Chu family who can take them, and they may not be able to occupy them all. If they are not qualified to sit on them, they can reluctantly rely on them.

How could he turn a blind eye to the fact that he was trying to please the Chu family and Yunyang Hou was still in the position of commander? There should be people from the Ma family and the Min family to take over, and the Chu family would not really be allowed to have sole power in the city guard.

"

Of course, Chu Zhengfang may not have noticed Yunyang Hou’s true intention, right? He was only happy for the position that the latter gave up, and may have misunderstood that Yunyang Hou chose to give in because of the Crown Princess’s face.

Let the family members withdraw from the city guard. He thought that the Chu family had taken advantage, but who really benefited... It would become clear after two or three years.

The position of city guard can be dismissed and replaced by the royal family at any time. It may be very stable and can have real power, but in terms of stability and power, it is not comparable to those who are truly shot from the border towns with real swords and guns and have established themselves with military merit.

?Chu Zhengfang may have been blinded by the vanity of his status as a foreign relative, and he has forgotten what he, as a military attache, can really rely on to gain a foothold in the army and the court.

Qin Ping lowered his eyes, put the tea bowl in his hand aside, and quietly started the belated dinner.

After eating cold noodles, he took a sip of tea and looked up to see his wife sitting across the table, silent. Recalling the conversation between the couple just now, he smiled slightly: "What's going on? But worried about your brother? He is now

Now that I have been officially transferred to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, I will not be transferred to Liaodong or back to Shuozhou in a short period of time. You can rest assured."

Cai Shengnan looked up and said with a smile: "I'm not worried about this. If there is really a need, whether it is Shuozhou or Liaodong, my brother will go, and the family will accept it no matter how reluctant they are. This is the responsibility of the children of the Cai family. Besides,

Even if my brother returns to the border town to garrison, he can rest assured knowing that his mother and younger brother are living well in the capital. The life of my parents' family is much better now than before. Who brought this?

We are all aware of it, and we are grateful in our hearts. We will not shirk from what we have to do."

Qin Ping looked gentle: "The Cai family's family tradition is indeed well-deserved." He added, "I was originally from the Yulin border army. I originally thought that if necessary, I could go back to Yulin to guard for a few years. If Liaodong needs it even more.

It's okay for me. But the emperor has no intention of transferring me out of the capital. He just wants me to stay in the city guard with peace of mind." He was helpless, "Since the emperor trusts me so much, I can only do my duty faithfully."

Cai Shengnan thought for a moment, secretly thinking that Liaodong would really make a big move, maybe it would really start a war with Beirong! Beirong had been honest for more than thirty years, and in fact they had been harassing the border town, but every year

It was just a small fight, they just grabbed a bunch of money and food and left. After so many years, they probably couldn't bear it any longer, right? When she was in Shuozhou, she heard her brother discussing privately with military attachés from acquaintances, and thought they might fight a few times.

It's a big war, but I don't know when it will start. Now that I think about it, it is most likely that the war will start in Liaodong, and other border towns may also start the war.

Her brother has just entered the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and he probably won't be transferred back to the frontier army for a while. Now her husband Qin Ping has been asked by the emperor to stay and guard the city. It is probably because the emperor wants to reduce the number of troops stationed in the city by the Cai family.

While increasing the number of children in the guard army, how about leaving a few more trustworthy military attachés in the city guard army to control the situation? She should not have anything to do with the war in the border town, but the Cai family, Shuozhou side

Whether it's relatives, friends or acquaintances, she can still be of some help...

Cai Shengnan looked at her husband and hesitated for a moment: "Master, if I want to...send some food, medicinal materials or cloth to my relatives and friends in Shuozhou...will it cause you any trouble?"

Qin Ping was startled for a moment and then understood. Although he didn't say it clearly, his wife still noticed what he meant? This was an unexpected surprise. He didn't expect his wife to be so smart. He smiled and said, "As long as you don't be too showy.

Just like that, Shuozhou is not as wealthy as the capital, so it is inevitable that there will be times when things are lacking. You are just giving some gifts to relatives and friends, who can care about it? You can give anything except taboo things, and you will benefit in the end.

, they are all members of the imperial court.”

After hearing this, Cai Shengnan knew that Qin Ping understood what she meant. He pursed his lips and smiled a little sheepishly, nodded and said: "I know, I will be careful." Suddenly he remembered something again and hurriedly added,

"I won't use public money. I still have some private property."

Qin Ping disagreed: "Why use your private house? This is a good thing. If you are unwilling to use the public money, you can just use the money I gave you earlier. You and I, husband and wife, don't have to divide things so clearly.

After sending it out, you leave an account for me. If necessary, I will report it to the palace. If the emperor is happy and rewards us, we will be proud of it."

Cai Shengnan responded softly, feeling at ease.

With Qin Ping's permission, Cai Shengnan was confident. However, she did not rush to Shuozhou to deliver things first. Instead, she discussed with Mrs. Yunyang Hou, Mrs. Cai San and other sisters-in-law from her natal family to see what the Cai family's jurisdiction was.

Wherever there is a greater need for material support, and which materials are most in short supply, try to find ways to get them.

On the other hand, she did not forget what she had discussed with her sisters-in-law before. They all tried to find ways to relieve Xiao Xue so that the latter would stop thinking wildly and have an impact on Qin Jinchun's marriage.

Mrs. Yao asked Mrs. Xue to show off her daughter's dowry list; Mrs. Min provided a reference list of various things that the female dependents of the army needed to purchase - this obviously failed to appease Mrs. Xue, but made her even more worried.

Xiao Feng took her daughter Qin Hanzhu to accompany Qin Jinchun, asked her cousin for homework, and attracted Xiao Xue's attention with the child; when Cai Shengnan arrived, she once again gave Qin Hanzhen's dowry

She took out the list and gave it to little Xue for reference, but it was not just for show, but she was seriously discussing the choice of various dowry items with her, and even sent her a large brochure of festive embroidery patterns.

Little Mr.

When the Xue family came to visit again and mentioned the previous "business," Mrs. Xue said: "The eldest brother and the third brother did not say they heard the news, I am afraid that my uncle misunderstood. There is no war in Liaodong, so the business will be natural

There's no way to start. You'd better find another business. Now I'm just busy with Sister Chun's dowry, and I'm already too busy."

Uncle Xue family laughed dryly: "Sister Chun is getting married? It's easy to talk about the dowry. After all, she is the child we watched grow up, and our Xue family can also contribute to Sister Chun's dowry..."

Little Xue paused and looked at her uncle. This traditional cooperation model between the second wife of the Qin family and the Xue family sounded so familiar, but also a little strange. After the falling out between her mother's family and the second wife of the Qin family, no one said that again.

Have you passed it?

She sighed: "No need. I have thanked my uncle for his kindness, but our family still has some wealth, so we don't need others to fund our daughter's dowry." She really can't give any benefits to her parents' family, so why bother to eat people?

What about being short-tongued? When she took money from her parents' family and refused their excessive demands, she didn't have the confidence to speak. And when she heard her husband scolding her relatives, she had no confidence to refute. She really didn't want to feel like this.

Taste again.

"Why are you being polite to your own relatives?" Uncle Xue said with a smile, "My uncle was confused earlier and said some unpleasant things. Please don't take it to heart, niece. We are a family. Blood is thicker than water. There is no overnight feud.

What? It's not easy for you in your husband's family these years, right? Without the support of your mother's family, there must be something missing, and your niece-in-law's temper is irritable. Don't worry, our family has discussed it now and we will not do it again in the future.

Same mistake! Our two families should... reconcile, right? Your life will be easier, and our Xue family... can also feel more at ease."

Mr. Xue frowned: "Uncle, is the Xue family... in trouble now?"
