Gao Bufan and Li Jing talked about their experiences after their separation last year. The latter couldn't help but sigh after listening: "I didn't expect that in just one year, the third brother would go through so many things. He single-handedly entered Liaodong and not only escaped unscathed, but also escaped with his whole body.

He has also accomplished such great achievements, which really makes Brother Yu admire him very much."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "It's not all because of my second brother's book "Mirror of the Sixth Army". I have benefited a lot from reading it."

Li Jing perked up after hearing this. Although he was proficient in military skills, he never had the chance to display his skills. Even if he wrote a military book without actual combat experience, in the eyes of others, it was just talk on paper and would not be taken seriously at all.

However, Gao Bufan achieved brilliant results in Goguryeo because of reading "Mirror of the Six Arms". This does not just prove that "Mirror of the Six Arms" is not an empty talk, but a truly useful military book.

Li Jing's depressed will couldn't help but rekindle hope. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's because third brother, you are talented and intelligent. Otherwise, there would be so many people reading "The Art of War", but not many who can really learn and apply it."

.”

Gao Bufan said: "Then it depends on your military writing, second brother, to be good, so that I can understand the truth from it."

Li Jing chuckled, obviously feeling a little better, and said sincerely: "Third brother, can you give Brother Yu a detailed review of all your battles in Liaodong? Brother Yu is not boasting about Haikou. Brother Yu is already familiar with the existing military books and art of war, but

I only lack actual combat experience. If Third Brother can explain it in detail, and Brother Yu can confirm the two aspects, we can further modify and improve the "Mirror of the Six Arms"."

Gao Bufan was naturally very willing to help Li Jing, so he described each battle in detail starting from his meeting with Dou Xianniang and others. Unknowingly, Li Jing was fascinated by what he heard, and Gao Bufan also talked about it.

Fascinated, the two of them would discuss it from time to time. When they encountered different opinions, they would argue fiercely, and both sides benefited a lot.

Time passed unknowingly, and it was already more than an hour later when Hong Fu Nu asked the two of them to eat. The two took a few bites of rice and continued chatting, as if they were possessed.

Zhang Chuchen, the red-flecked girl, was also possessed. She held her rice and looked at her eloquent husband Li Jing infatuatedly. She even forgot to eat the rice. She was so happy that tears welled up in her eyes. She had not seen her for many years.

My husband was in such high spirits.

When she first saw Li Jing talking eloquently in front of Grand Sikong Yang Su in Sikong Mansion, she recognized Li Jing. She even fled from Sikong Mansion regardless of her reservations and took the initiative to marry Li Jing. She thought that Li Jing would definitely rise to great heights in the future.

It was a great success, but unfortunately it backfired.

However, Hong Funu still firmly believes in her vision. Even if she lives in poverty, she still does not change her original intention. She firmly believes that her husband will one day succeed. What she lacks now is an opportunity to display his talents, so she does not hesitate to borrow money.

She had to fight for opportunities for her husband to survive, but the cruel reality hit her to pieces. She could only arm herself with vigor and toughness to make herself look not to be trifled with, and finally won the "Zhang Ji"

"Po" reputation.

For more than half a year, Li Jing's new appointment has been stuck in the Ministry of Personnel, and the position of Yuanwai Lang has been withdrawn, so he is in the embarrassing situation of neither getting up nor down. The new position has not been taken yet, so naturally there is no salary, and the old position has been taken by the new person.

Got it, Ken

There was no salary, and the family suddenly lost its source of livelihood, and life became more and more difficult. At first, they could borrow new debts to pay off old debts, but gradually, no one was willing to even borrow debts, so they had to become sellers.

Private, not ordinary desolation.

Hongfu Nu had no choice but to find some crooked ways to help her family make ends meet and to deal with the creditors who came to collect debts. She was once discouraged, but when she woke up every morning, she still had to face it with strength.

At this time, she finally saw her husband in high spirits again. Hongfu Nu could not help but feel excited and happy, and she also felt a sense of gratitude towards Gao Bufan. To this day, she still firmly believes that her husband Li Jing is by no means a creature in the pond. As long as he meets a noble person, he will definitely fly away.

soaring!

"Noble person?" Hongfu Nu's eyes fell on Gao Bufan and said secretly: "Isn't this noble person far away in the horizon but right in front of me?"

The more Hong Fu Nu thought about it, the more she realized it made sense. Her husband met his third brother Gao Changqing in Qian County and immediately set out to suppress the bandits. Now that he saw his third brother, he immediately regained his fighting spirit. The third brother was not her husband's nobleman and he was

What?

Thinking of this, Hong Fu Nu's thoughts couldn't help but come alive. The third brother was recommended by Ke Dun and summoned by the emperor. It was said that he also had connections with the eldest son's family. There might be a way to resolve this matter and allow the head of the family to successfully obtain the appointment documents.

, Well, I have to ask my third brother if I have a chance.

Hong Fu Nu made up her mind, quickly finished her meal and put away the dishes, then ran to the wine shop and boldly bought two jars of wine, ran back, and diligently gave her husband and Gao Bufan a bowl each. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, the head of the family, either."

Just focus on chatting and give Third Brother a bowl."

Li Jing glanced at Hong Fu Nu in surprise, thinking that the sun was setting in the west, but he happened to have a dry mouth, so he picked up the wine and said with a smile: "Third brother, let's have a bowl first. The two of us have been together for almost a year."

See you, you won’t get home unless you get drunk tonight.”

Gao Bufan happily drank a bowl with Li Jing, and Hong Fu Nu immediately filled it up for the two of them, and also poured a bowl for herself. She said with a smile: "Sister-in-law also offers a bowl to third brother. What happened before was that my sister-in-law did something wrong.

, Third brother, please don’t take it to heart.”

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is worried too much, I never didn't take it to heart." He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Hong Funu probably got addicted to alcohol, so she poured another bowl of wine and drank it herself. Then she said with a smile: "You two take your time and chat, I will cook some side dishes to go with the wine."

"Go!" Li Jing waved his hand. After being married for so many years, he could not tell what Hongfu Nu was planning.

"Third brother, it's getting late. The gate will be closed after dark. You'd better go back first. We'll talk next time. The house is simple and foolish brother won't let you stay overnight." Li Jing said with a smile.

Gao Bufan looked at the sky outside and saw that the sun was indeed going down soon, so he said, "That's fine, I'll come back to bother you tomorrow."

Li Jing coughed slightly and said, "Brother Yu, let's go to your place. Where is the third brother staying now?"

"Gaosheng Inn in Pinganfang." Gao Bufan replied, "I will stay in Luoyang for a while. My second brother can come to me at any time."

Li Jing nodded and said: "Okay, Brother Yu will give it to you."

So the two of them stood up and walked out of the house. Hongfu Nu heard the sound and ran out of the kitchen and said, "Third brother is leaving now? The food and wine will be ready soon!"

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "It's getting dark soon. Next time I'll try the side dishes cooked by my sister-in-law."

Hongfu Nu said quickly: "What are you afraid of when it gets dark? Just stay at home for one night. It's rare for you brothers to meet again after a long absence."

Gao Bufan shook his head and declined: "No, there are still women in the inn. Next time, I will stay in Luoyang for a few days and there will be time to get together."

Hong Funu was a little disappointed, but when she heard that Gao Bufan would stay in Luoyang, she felt relieved and said with a smile: "In that case, my sister-in-law won't keep you here either." After saying that, she turned around and returned to the kitchen.

Li Jing sent Gao Bufan out of the door of his house. He originally wanted to send him to Fangmen, but Gao Bufan stopped and said, "Second brother, stay here. Just send him here."

Li Jing was not a pretentious person. He nodded and said, "Third brother, go slowly. I'll see you at the inn tomorrow."

Gao Bufan hesitated for a moment: "Second brother, there is something I forgot to tell you. Today, I met Mr. Hu Sizheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, at the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Mr. Hu invited you and I to come together at his house. I don't know, second brother.

What do you think?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment. The Jiabu Department was a subordinate organization of the Ministry of War. Naturally, he knew Hu Sizheng, the Minister of War.

Although Li Jing is not good at socializing, it does not mean that he is stupid. In fact, he has a clear mind. It is just that the arrogance in his bones makes him disdain flattery. Hu Sizheng has not invited you sooner or later. At this time, he invites himself to the door.

It was obviously because the third brother, most likely because of his potential, was trying to win over him. He was just a bargaining chip for Hu Sizheng to win over the third brother.

"Third brother, if you want to go, second brother will accompany you. If you are going because of second brother, there is no need!" Li Jing said bluntly.

Gao Bufan felt warm in his heart and said, "Actually, I mean the same thing. If the second brother wants to go, the third brother will go with you. If the second brother doesn't think it's necessary, then the third brother won't go either."

Li Jing also felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Then don't go, but the third brother is not afraid of offending Mr. Hu?"

Gao Bufan shrugged and said, "It's better to offend him than to be implicated by him." After saying that, he glanced at the door intentionally or unintentionally.

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Let's talk next time." After saying that, he turned and returned to the house.

Hongfunu didn't know when she was hiding behind the door. When she saw her husband turning around, she suddenly looked unnatural and said: "Master, the third brother is gone?"

Li Jing nodded, closed the door, and walked into the house without saying a word. Hongfu Nu caught up and said hurriedly: "Master, why didn't you go when Master Hu invited you? This is a good opportunity.

If Minister Hu comes to mediate, you might be able to get your appointment document."

Li Jing stopped and frowned: "Hong Fu, some things are not as simple as you think."

Hong Fu threw the spatula away, sat on the ground and cried loudly. The resentment she had accumulated finally burst out. While crying, she scolded Li Jing for not feeling sorry for her, and refusing to bow his head just to save face, and ended up fighting each other for more than ten years.

As a result, she also went from a gorgeous beauty to a yellow-faced woman.

The more Hongfu talked, the sadder she became, and the more she cried, the more desolate she became. Li Jing felt ashamed and distressed, and he hugged his wife and comforted her with gentle words. Hongfu refused to comply and sobbed: "You must go to Minister Hu's invitation.

You should write a letter of divorce to Hong Fu as soon as possible!"

Li Jing sighed and said: "Hong Fu, it's not that my husband doesn't want to go to the appointment. You heard what the third brother said just now. Why do you think the third brother, a person with such a sophisticated mind, doesn't want to go to the appointment with Hu Shilang?"

After hearing this, Hongfu Nu finally calmed down and asked, "Why?"

"Hu Sizheng belongs to the Duke of Chu." Li Jing whispered.

Hongfu Nu was stunned for a moment, then fell silent. After a long time, she said, "What about your official position?"

"My husband will find a way." Li Jing said solemnly.
