At dusk, Kang Lian's invitation and Zhang Mingjian's letter were delivered to Xiyangzhuang.
After Zhang Yangquan read it, he handed the letter and invitation to Qin Lingjun.
Qin Lingjun took it over, looked at it, and said, "Military advisor, they asked us to go, so let's just go. Anyway, the planting here is going well, and I will leave the rest to my little sister."
"Where to go?" Qin Lingsi asked.
Qin Lingjun showed her the letter and invitation, and Qin Lingsi hurriedly said: "Just leave the rest to Uncle Guo. I want to go with you! Right, Uncle Guo."
As he spoke, he showed Guo Niansheng two things.
After reading it, Guo Niansheng put away the letter and invitation neatly and said with a smile: "Okay, leave it to me here."
Four people are sitting in a house in the village, eating noodles around a table.
Noodles in clear soup, plus a large egg, is particularly delicious for four people who have worked hard all day.
Zhang Yangquan glanced at Qin Lingjun while drinking the soup.
"Master Dazhai, do you really want to form an alliance with Zhang Mingjian?"
Qin Lingjun had finished eating and turned slightly to the side, saying: "As my little sister said last time, we can team up with Zhang Mingjian to deal with Huang Boyan, and then deal with Zhang Mingjian later. Don't you think it's good?"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head: "It is not only unhelpful to form an alliance with someone like Zhang Mingjian, but you also have to be wary of his betrayal at all times. It will do more harm than good!"
Putting down the empty bowl and chopsticks, he added: "Now that there is no check and balance from Miao Daheng, Polo Buhua will definitely be controlled by our three families. Soon, the three families will recruit troops together again!"
Qin Lingjun hesitated for a moment and said: "We only have a piece of land in the north of the city, but Huang Boyan can recruit troops in the east and south of the city at the same time. Can we recruit troops faster than him?"
Zhang Yangquan said: "I asked Sun Hong. Now the total number of households in the north of the city and the northern suburbs exceeds 50,000, which is more than Huang Boyan's half of the city combined. He can't recruit us!"
Qin Ling said happily: "Are there so many people in the north of our city? I didn't even notice it!"
Zhang Yangquan said calmly: "Also, our rice has been planted and will be harvested in June. With this batch of grain support, there will be no more logistical pressure when recruiting troops!"
Seeing his resolute attitude, Qin Lingjun stopped raising objections and sent someone to call Li Er and Zhao Desheng, asking them to strengthen the defense of the field!
However, the soldiers who went to call them reported that they were not in the village.
Qin Lingjun raised his eyelids: "Where have they gone?"
Guo Niansheng said hurriedly: "Niece, they just asked me for leave, saying that they had some personal matters to deal with in the evening and would be back before the second update!"
"Private matter?"
"It seems that Li Er and Monkey are planning to marry their children!"
Zhang Yangquan was stunned. Monkey has no heirs. Only Han Lin'er can barely be regarded as an adopted son. Li Er also has an adopted daughter Xiaoqi. Could it be that he wants to get engaged to these two babies?
……
Qinji Restaurant, a private room on the west side of the second floor.
Monkey, Yang Ying, Mr. and Mrs. Li Er and Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Desheng sat around a table, toasting and clinking glasses with each other, laughing and having a good time.
Among the three girls, Yang Ying and He Xiaomei were both dressed in bright clothes. Only Xu wore coarse linen clothes, and her appearance was far inferior to the two of them, which made her feel quite inferior.
She was born in poverty and had never eaten in such a high-end restaurant. She was afraid of showing her ugly face, so she silently ate the dish closest to her, bowing her head and saying nothing.
Li Er was only concentrating on drinking and laughing with Monkey and Zhao Desheng, and did not notice anything strange about his wife.
But Yang Ying, with his eyes and ears in all directions, noticed Xu's embarrassment and smiled at her: "Sister-in-law, there is another dish in the kitchen. Please accompany me to get it!"
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Okay, okay!"
I was too hasty to put down my chopsticks, and accidentally rolled them to the floor. When I lowered my head to pick them up, my head hit the corner of the table again. It hurt so much that tears came out, and I didn't dare to say a word!
He Xiaomei sat next to her and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, let me pick it up for you." She lowered her head and picked up the chopsticks for her.
Xu sat up and glanced at Li Er secretly. She saw that he was talking with Zhao Desheng, and the monkeys were talking about the leaders of the rebel armies in the world. They didn't notice her, and she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
She and Yang Ying left the house together and came to the backyard.
However, Yang Ying did not take her into the kitchen, but took her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, we are now a family of sons and daughters. I wonder if my sister-in-law would like to hear some of my heartfelt words?"
Mrs. Xu saw her sincere words and said hurriedly: "Sister, please speak!"
Yang Ying said: "Sister-in-law, I know you are an honest person, but we women must not be too short-sighted! Li Qianhu will never be just a Qianhu in the future. When a man's status is high, he will meet all kinds of women. I believe
Li Qianhu is not a person who likes the new and hates the old, but if you become more worldly and dress yourself up more handsomely, he will definitely not like it, right?"
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a long time, held Yang Ying's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Sister, you said it so well! In fact, I have been a little uneasy recently, and I don't know why. After hearing what you said, I finally felt relieved.
Got it!"
Yang Ying sighed and said: "Sister, you don't have to worry. Li Qianhu is much stronger than Hou Baisi. As long as you serve some snacks, you and your wife will definitely be in harmony."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "Sister, I am an ignorant and rough woman. I really don't know what to do. Please teach me!"
Yang Ying pulled her to sit down at a stone table and said: "Actually, no one is born with more knowledge than others. My sister just stays in the village and has no chance to see the world."
Mrs. Xu was stunned and said: "If I don't stay in the village, where else can I go?"
Yang Ying said: "Do you know the woman who manages the cloth village?"
"Meet, Geng San's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tan."
Yang Xing said: "I've met Mrs. Tan several times. She is very strong-tempered, but not shrewd. Buzhuang has been running for so long and there is no improvement at all. Why don't you replace her?"
Mrs. Xu was taken aback and said, "How can this be done? Didn't I offend her for nothing?"
Yang Ying smiled slightly and said: "I heard from Hou Baisi that the second village leader is already very dissatisfied with Tan and wants to replace her. Sister doesn't have to do anything. She only needs to wait for her to be replaced and take the initiative to take over.
Missing."
Mrs. Xu hesitated for a long time and said, "But now I am helping the military advisor manage the greenhouse!"
She actually had her own little thoughts. Knowing that Zhang Yangquan trusted her, she made her in charge of the greenhouse, so she has been carefully taking care of all the crops in the greenhouse.
Yang Ying lowered his voice and said: "Sister, you should also know that the future of our village lies in Jiangdu. There will never be any harm in entering Jiangdu City in advance!"
Mrs. Xu saw that what she said was reasonable, and thought that after entering the city, she would really be able to live in the world. Mrs. Tan was originally two years older than her, and the descendants who managed Buzhuang not only became younger, but also seemed to speak differently from before.
"Okay, I'll listen to the girl!"
Yang Ying smiled and said: "Sister, you don't have to be polite. In fact, I also have something to ask of you."
"Girl, it's okay to say it. As long as I can help, I won't say anything."
Yang Ying took a deep breath and said: "My little sister hopes that my elder sister can help me take care of Lin'er, especially after the village takes over Jiangdu, let Lin'er live in my sister's house!"
Mrs. Xu was surprised. Listening to Yang Ying's tone, was the village going to attack Jiangdu City? In addition, was she trying to raise her son?
Yang Ying smiled bitterly and said: "My little sister has something to hide and can't explain the reason. I hope my sister will understand."
Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "I understand. If that day comes, let Lin'er live in our house, so that we can play with Xiaoqi."
