Zhuojun Yingyang Mansion currently has a very good reputation in Changping and Rouhuai counties, and its reputation among the people is also very good. Coupled with the active cooperation of the county magistrate Lu Jie, Wei Zheng's recruitment work is progressing very smoothly. As soon as the news was released

On the first day after leaving, hundreds of people rushed to the military camp to sign up, which was enough to keep Old Wei busy.

Let's say that Gao Bufan sent Cui Shirou's master and servant to Huairou County. He originally wanted to find an inn for her to live in, but County Magistrate Lu was very considerate and actually vacated a private house under his name for Cui Shirou to stay temporarily.

Gao Bufan wanted to refuse, but he thought that the inn was crowded with people and the sanitary conditions were poor, so he accepted Magistrate Lu's offer. However, he also stated that it was for rent, and the monthly rent of two thousand yuan, Magistrate Lu couldn't resist.

I had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.

There are two private houses in Magistrate Lu's house. The environment is clean and tidy. Even the picky maid Shu'er was satisfied after seeing it and said happily: "Girl, although this house is not as good as my own home, it is still very good. Hehe, thank you."

Mr. Gao, you treat my girl so well."

Cui Shirou couldn't help but blush. Gao Bufan coughed lightly and said, "Brother Cui and I have a life-long friendship, so it should be."

"Dog Officer! Dog Officer!" A strange voice suddenly sounded, startling Gao Bufan. When he stopped and looked, it turned out to be the green-feathered parrot in the birdcage Shuer was carrying. He was shouting loudly. How dare he love this?

The little thing can still talk, and his tone sounds like that of that stupid woman Cui Shiyao.

Shu'er angrily slapped the birdcage and threatened, "If you keep yelling, I'll stew you."

"Brother Gao, you're a good man! Brother Gao, you're a good man!" The green parrot immediately tilted its head and shouted in a disgraceful manner.

Cui Shirou couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and apologized repeatedly: "Brother Gao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter!" Gao Bufan waved his hand and didn't take it seriously, because the parrot's tone when calling the dog officer was the same as that of the stupid woman Cui Shiyao. It can be seen that this stupid woman often tried to discredit herself in front of Cui Shirou, and even the parrot followed suit.

Gao Bufan looked at the green parrot with interest and asked, "Is this parrot raised by you, Miss Shirou?"

Cui Shirou blushed and nodded: "It's called Luying, and there was no one to take care of it at home, so Rou'er kept it with her."

"Rou'er, a good person! Rou'er, a good person!" The green parrot immediately shouted at the top of its throat. I don't know if it understood.

Shuer laughed and scolded: "You little flatterer!"

"Shu'er, a flatterer! Shuer, a flatterer!"

Gao Bufan almost laughed out loud. Shuer patted the birdcage in embarrassment and said angrily: "If you keep yelling..."

"It's stewed! It's stewed! Rou'er, help, someone is bullying your bird!" The green parrot shouted loudly while jumping up and down unscrupulously.

Gao Bufan said in surprise: "What a smart little thing."

Shu'er said a little proudly: "Lu Ying is really smart, look at Mr. Gao." After saying that, he put a handful of melon seeds and a copper coin in the palm of his hand like a showoff, then walked to the cage and ordered: "Lu Ying,

Pick out the copper coins."

Sure enough, the green parrot put its head in and picked up the copper coin. Shuer said proudly: "Look, you are so smart. Luying can also distinguish hundreds of flowers and know hundreds of characters."

Gao Bufan said doubtfully: "Seriously?"

"Of course, if Mr. Gao doesn't believe it, just write a few words on the spot and let him recognize it." Shu'er said proudly.

Gao Bufan became interested, so he wrote the word "bird" on the dirt with a branch, and asked: "Luying, what is this word?"

The green parrot tilted its head and stared for a long time without humming. Shuer laughed awkwardly: "It knows this word, girl, what's going on?"

Cui Shirou shook her head in confusion and said, "I don't know what's going on. Maybe... I have to write it on paper."

"Oh, Mr. Gao, wait a minute." Shu Er was afraid of heights and thought she was bragging. He immediately ran to get pen and ink and wrote the word "bird" on the rice paper. Luying immediately shouted: "Bird!"

Shu'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Master Gao, look, I didn't lie to you, right?" After saying that, he wrote a few more words on the paper, and Luying said it accurately.

Gao Bufan couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Shirou, it's better to send him to school, don't delay his future."

Cui Shirou burst into laughter, and Shu'er also chuckled, and said proudly: "The teachers in the school may not be able to teach better than my girl."

Gao Bufan glanced at the picturesque Cui Sirou and asked, "Did Miss Shirou teach these?"

Cui Shirou nodded a little sheepishly: "Rou'er usually does nothing at home. One time, she discovered that Lu Ying was imitating Rou'er's reading of poetry. So Rou'er tried to teach it how to read. Unexpectedly, Lu Ying actually learned it."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "The IQ of some parrots is indeed not low, and can even reach the level of a five- or six-year-old child."

"What is IQ?" Cui Shirou asked, seemingly understanding.

"Ahem...it's wisdom." Gao Bufan explained coquettishly, and immediately changed the topic: "Miss Shirou is staying here temporarily. As long as there is news about your father, I will send someone to inform you."

Cui Shirou was sensible. After hearing this, she nodded obediently and said, "Thank you, Brother Gao. Brother Gao is busy with military affairs, so Rou'er will not hinder Brother Gao Bu."

Gao Bufan nodded, turned around and left the house, heading out of the city.

Cui Shirou suddenly felt empty inside, and sighed: "Shu'er, let's go in."

Shu'er only thought that Cui Shirou was worried about the safety of the family master, and comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, the master will be fine. Mr. Gao will definitely bring the master back safely."

"Master Gao, a good man! Master Gao, a good man!"

Shu Er said angrily: "No need to flatter me, Mr. Gao is gone!"

"Young Master Gao, Dog Official... Ga"

Cui Shirou angrily stretched out her finger and gave the parrot a slap on the head. The parrot immediately spun around and fell on its ass. It was so honest!

…………

The county magistrate Lu Jie is currently responsible for the logistics supply of the Yingyang Mansion Army. He was busy until noon before returning to the county office, ready to take a rest and drink water. As soon as he entered the door, his servants reported: "Sir, the chief steward is here."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lu immediately entered the flower hall. Sure enough, he saw Lu Sanlang waiting there, studying tea, and smiled and said, "When did Sanlang come?"

Lu Sanlang stood up and said politely: "My nephew has met Uncle Jiu, and he has been here for a while. Uncle Jiu, you are busy, so I didn't disturb you."

Lu Sanlang is the chief steward of the Lu family in Fanyang and the general agent of the entire Lu family's business, which is equivalent to Cui Hu's position among the Cui family in Qinghe. Magistrate Lu is Lu Sanlang's father, ranking ninth in the family and the oldest.

But he is almost the same as Lu Sanlang.

Magistrate Lu sat down on the other side of the coffee table. The servants served the tea and then left automatically. The former picked up the tea cup and moistened his throat and asked, "Is Sanlang here because of Gao Changqing?"

Lu Sanlang shook his head and said: "Not really, I just came here to take stock of the business accounts. By the way, I heard that Gao Changqing is recruiting troops in this county?"

Magistrate Lu nodded: "The first batch of recruitment is two thousand soldiers, and there should be a second batch behind."

Lu Sanlang's eyes flashed, and he said to himself: "You have the right to use it, and it will be invalid after the expiration date. This guy has decisively seized the opportunity. It's good. I was originally worried that this guy was too cautious and would inevitably be a little timid. Now it seems that there is no need for it."

Now that we have met, let’s see how he behaves!”

A flash of surprise flashed in Magistrate Lu's eyes, and he asked in a low voice: "What does clan mean?"

"Cooperate fully, give people to others and give food to people." Lu Sanlang said twelve words calmly.

Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "Okay, but Sanlang, have you really never seen him?"

Lu Sanlang smiled and said, "No need. This guy is a smart man. There are some things that don't need to be said face to face. Moreover, it would be better if you just do it and don't say it."

"Okay, by the way, one more thing. This morning, Gao Changqing sent a woman from the Cui family of Qinghe to live in the city." Magistrate Lu said.

Lu Sanlang looked thoughtful and asked, "Is this girl Cui Shirou, the daughter of Cui Hu, the chief steward of the Cui family in Qinghe?"

"Hey, does Sanlang know this girl?" Magistrate Lu asked curiously.

Lu Sanlang patted the table and sighed: "Cui Shoucheng is the fox who is better at chess. I admire him."

Magistrate Lu asked hurriedly: "What's the explanation?"

Lu Sanlang said: "Cui Shoucheng has a vicious eye. He was optimistic about Gao Changqing at the beginning. He and Gao Changqing have known each other since they were young, and they had a life-long friendship. Later, Gao Changqing really emerged. It is said that the Cui family of Qinghe also intended to marry Gao Changqing, but Gao Changqing wanted to belong to the Changsun family.

Miss Wugou, the two were publicly engaged last year. I thought Cui Hu would give up the idea of ​​marrying Gao Bufan, but it seems that is not the case now. Moreover, in the past two years, the Cui family in Qinghe has continued to systematically marry her

The industry was transferred to Zhuo County."

Magistrate Lu was moved in his heart and said in surprise: "So, the Cui family of Qinghe has placed a heavy bet on Gao Changqing, so they are so optimistic about Gao Changqing? Do they think that Gao Changqing is the real..."

Magistrate Lu didn't say any more. He really didn't dare to say the last three words.

Lu Sanlang shook his head and said: "That's not true, but it is certain that the Cui family of Qinghe has placed a heavy bet on Gao Changqing. Gao Changqing's son is indeed not a thing in the pool. He will at least be a leader in the future. Play well.

The relationship is correct.

When this son succeeded in acquiring the ranch in Yuyi Town, I was very optimistic about him. Unfortunately, Cui Shoucheng had already got there first. Even if our Fanyang Lu family invests more heavily now, it is impossible for us to be as good as the Qinghe Cui family.

"

Magistrate Lu frowned and said, "Why does San Lang still want it?"

Lu Sanlang smiled and said: "The Cui family of Qinghe eats meat, and we, the Lu family of Fanyang, have some soup. Now in this situation, the emperor is under heavy siege again, and the world is going to be in chaos. There is a strong man with unlimited potential beside him. If we don't

Wouldn't it be stupid to hug your thighs tightly? So Uncle Jiu, you don't have to worry, just cooperate with Gao Changqing fully, maybe I, the Fanyang Lu family, will become the Duke of Manchu Dynasty in this son."
