Chapter 108: New Year's Eve Urgent Call, Lead the Battle
Chapter 108: New Year's Eve Urgent Call, Lead the Battle
It’s Chinese New Year, and today the Cheng family’s house is decorated with red lanterns everywhere. The festive atmosphere is everywhere, and several boys are pasting window decorations and auspicious characters!
And Yuan Heng also felt the warmth of home at the Cheng family for the first time after his parents passed away.
It’s not that Magistrate Wei’s family is bad, but there are always a few concubines in the Wei family who would cause trouble during the New Year, so he would rather celebrate the New Year in the military camp than go to his sister’s house.
Yuan Heng was lost in thought when he saw a group of children in front of him.
"Dad, Dad, Happy New Year, give me the red envelopes!" Cheng Yu and his brothers asked for red envelopes one by one.
The adults had quite a bit of money this year, so they gave each child one or two taels of silver. Cheng Yu got a silver ingot, and Cheng Xiaoba called it unfair!
Yuan Heng did the same and immediately handed over a small red envelope with a few golden melon seeds inside. Only Cheng Yu's was a purse.
"Thank you, Dad!" Cheng Yu weighed the purse in her hand, hehehe, it was her biggest one again.
"Ah! You are all biased! I want a big red envelope too!" Cheng Xiaoba said immediately when he saw that his sister had such a big red envelope.
"Hey, kid, why do you want a red envelope? Go and earn it yourself. We are all going to give our daughter a dowry in the future!" Cheng Zhiwu slapped Cheng Xiaoba on the head. This brat is so unreasonable!
"Xiao Ba, remember, this is what our foster father gave us. How much he gives is up to him, because the money is his own. Only when you hold the money in your own hands can you be qualified to allocate the use of the money!
As for being partial? Hahaha, everyone in my family is partial, no one is not, because I only have one sister!" Cheng Zhiwen said to Cheng Xiaoba earnestly.
Although the situation at home has improved a lot, it is still not as good as those aristocratic families. They have to grow up quickly so that they can protect their sister.
"Brother, I understand!" said Cheng Xiaoba.
He also knows that his family spoils him, so sometimes he will deliberately make some noise to liven up the atmosphere, but that doesn't mean he is ignorant.
Of course he knows that his sister has a big secret and he also has to grow up, but his brothers are so outstanding that he can't keep up even if he flatters them!
That's what you said, right? Right? Right!
"Be good!" The Cheng family members one, two, three, four, five, six, seven took turns touching Cheng Xiaoba's head.
Cheng Xiaoba: He can’t enjoy the love and affection from his brothers... He feels like he’s going bald.
"Dad, ..." Cheng Yu was about to act coquettishly when she was interrupted by Yuan Yi's voice outside the door.
"General, His Majesty has sent someone to invite you into the palace!" Yuan Yi said standing outside the door.
"Okay, I got it! Little girl, daddy is going to take care of some things first. Here, these are your big brother's golden melon seeds. Daddy will definitely come back tonight to have New Year's Eve dinner with you!" Yuan Heng said.
He knew that it was definitely not good news for His Majesty to come to him at this time! Could it be that Li Guo had replied?
"Dad, tell the emperor uncle that he can do whatever he wants. I have food!" Cheng Yu looked at the granary in the space.
If we harvest 20 tons of food in one night, we will have 200 tons in just ten days! How about a month?
The space secretly expanded a lot when she donated the rice and flour. The land is now nearly half the size of the original one, so it produces more.
"Okay, I get it! Nannan, thank you dad for everything you have done for Muguo!" Yuan Heng said in a heavy tone.
There were only a few hours left until the New Year's Eve dinner, but His Majesty hurriedly summoned him into the palace, which meant that the situation was definitely very critical!
Thinking of this, Yuan Heng took Yuan Yi and walked out of the house at a quick pace, and then got on the carriage.
"Royal brother, this is simply too much! If you let me go, I will beat them to a pulp!" Murong Yu said as he looked at Li Guo's reply.
The family was originally preparing to have New Year's Eve dinner in the palace, but then the reply from Li Guo arrived. As soon as the emperor opened it, he roared in anger.
He picked it up and saw that the Li Kingdom was actually threatening the Mu Kingdom to return the Saint Girl and the Saint Envoy, and to send a princess to marry, and also to give the Li Kingdom two more iron mines!
Otherwise, Liguo will not supply food to Muguo this year! If he does not do so, he will contact small countries to attack Muguo!
"Royal brother, you can't be confused! We don't want the marriage, and we will never return the Saint Girl! I don't believe it. Beat them until they leave the country and don't give us food!" Murong Yu said.
Damn the villain, he controls the lifeline of food and doesn't care about human affairs! Then let's try the new weapons that Cheng Tian has researched for them!
"I won't be fooled, but what about our people? There is not enough food!" Murong Qian thought a lot and then said in a heavy tone.
There are too many parasites in their Mu country, and few of those aristocratic families are clean!
"Your Majesty, don't worry! My little girl told you to go ahead and do it! I'm here to pay my respects to Your Majesty!" As soon as Yuan Heng arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, he heard Murong Qian's voice. He couldn't help but answer first and then salute.
"What? You said Xiaojiu can let me do it without worry?" Murong Qian asked.
As long as Cheng Yu dares to say so, it means that she has enough food.
"Yes, she said she has other grain seeds. Don't worry, as soon as spring comes, her father and his two brothers will bring the grain seeds to plant all the imperial farms. Moreover, Cheng Shang's method of making fertilizer has worked!" Yuan Heng said.
How could he have deserved to have such good relatives?
"Your Majesty, the crossbow cart modified by Cheng Tian is also successful! And there is also a weapon called Zizha, which is said to be able to directly pull people off their horses!" The Minister of War and his men also arrived and immediately talked about the new weapons of the Shenji Camp.
It just so happens that they are marching and fighting on flat ground this time, and the whisk, crossbow cart and this claw are all powerful weapons!
"Your Majesty, please fight. We will never give in!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order that there will be no reconciliation!"
"Kill him until he reaches the imperial court of Liguo!"
"Kill him until he reaches the imperial court of Liguo!"
"Okay, then we will never reconcile. My lords, generals, the life and death of Mu country is in your hands!" Murong Qian, whose blood was boiling with excitement as he was led by a dozen generals, said immediately.
Murong Qian stood up and bowed to the generals!
He Muguo has these soldiers and weapons, what is there not to bet on? The worst that can happen is that their Muguo will change its owner!
Since the Li Kingdom wants to break the three-kingdom pattern, then the Mu Kingdom should help them!
"All generals, listen up. I order you to assemble your troops immediately after New Year's Eve and charge straight to the imperial court of the Li Kingdom! Kill anyone who stands in your way! Kill anyone who stands in your way!" Murong Qian said immediately, looking at the generals sitting next to him.
"Yes, I obey your order!" The generals knelt down and accepted the order!
"By the way, General Yuan, when you return, please bring this land deed back to Cheng Yu.
These are two mines near Bai Ze County. The court is mining them, and they will belong to her in the future! I can't let her spend her food in vain last time!" Murong Qian said in front of all the ministers.
"Your Majesty, this... this is against the rules!" The Minister of Rites said in a pretentious tone.
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules!" Some pedantic old ministers also knelt down one after another!
"Rules? What's wrong with me, an uncle, giving my niece some pocket money? Rules!" Murong Qian was so angry that he pointed at the Minister of Rites and those old ministers and cursed.
Minister of Rites: What bad luck! These old guys actually came!
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! Cheng Yu is just a county lord! How can she always own silver mines and jade mines?" An old minister immediately stood up to object.
"That's true. Then we'll confer the title of Princess Bai Ze on Cheng Yu, and let her enjoy the benefits of the entire Western Province." Murong Qian took the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
"Yes, Your Majesty is absolutely right!" The Minister of Rites immediately flattered him. Didn't he see that His Majesty's face was getting more and more uglier?
How dare I mess with these old bastards? They are so stubborn!
Therefore, Cheng Yu's position as princess was settled, and she also got two more mines!
"Oh, when will Miss Cheng come back?" Shen Qingqing sighed!
They came here directly from Jianshui Prefecture, and then Miss Cheng entered the palace.
That day they came to see Manager Liu and happened to encounter people causing trouble. After the officers left, they were taken to this renovated shop and told that if they needed to buy medicinal materials, they could go to the private room to withdraw money.
"Oh, I don't know!" Zhao Yue felt that he had really started another life.
No one here knew her past, and the county magistrate was an honest and upright person, so the ancestor was reluctant to leave after arriving here.
An An took care of the medicine shop and went up the mountain with a few brothers to collect herbs. Maybe because it was close to the border, the land was much flatter and there were many more herbs.
These female doctors are waiting for Cheng Yu to take them out to explore the world.
"Oh, I was so busy that I forgot about Sister Shen and the others. I haven't settled them yet!
I have to finish my work in Kyoto quickly and then go back to Bai Ze County!" Cheng Yu thought that Yuan Heng was about to go to war, so he dug up a few more ginsengs for cooking.
Only then did I remember Shen Qingqing and the others!
She had seen the treatments of several female doctors, and she wanted to give them all the medical skills related to caesarean sections for study.
If for no other reason, it's because in ancient times, for a woman to get pregnant and give birth was literally like walking through the gates of hell. If there was a female doctor who understood gynecology, things would be much easier.
However, there are still not enough female doctors, and this requires long-term consideration.
"What? You said that the Cheng family is going to open a school here?" Cheng Tiewan said in surprise at Cheng Tiewan's home in Qingshan Village.
"Yes, village chief, head of the village, my young lady told me that before she left, but I'm too busy, I'm really sorry!" Liu Feng's family was left behind to take care of the houses in Qingshan Village, mainly to guard the three composting pools!
Although his aunt's family helps to look after the store, he still has to check the accounts!
“No, no, no, we are just too surprised!” Qingshan Village is actually not small, but 90% of the residents are surnamed Cheng.
“This is what the young lady asked for. This is the money for repairing the ancestral hall. This is the money for the Gai clan school.
And this is the money to support the poor children of the same clan. By the way, my old lady said that this clan school should accept both male and female students.
If you do it, we will continue to give money later, and it will be the same amount every year! "The village head and the head of the village have the final say on how to distribute the sixty taels of silver and forty taels of money (to support poor children) that Liu Feng took out.
The old lady said that the saying that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent is wrong in itself. Only when she has enough talent and knowledge will her horizons be broadened.
Therefore, girls in the family should learn to read and distinguish right from wrong!
"Okay, I'll tell everyone right away! That's great, our Cheng family will soon have a clan school!" Cheng Tiesong was so happy.
"Then you two, I'll leave first!" Liu Feng said.
He had done what he was supposed to do and left!
"What? General Yuan, you said you were going to the battle!" Old Master Cheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, I have to go! After eating the New Year's Eve dinner today, I have to go back to the Western Province. I have to mobilize troops to fight those small countries along the way, head towards Li State, and meet up with several other generals!" Yuan Heng said.
The situation this time is extremely urgent. Their Mu country's 300,000 troops are facing the Li country's 500,000 troops. You can imagine how dangerous it is!
"Godfather, can I go with you? Even if we have to start from the beginning!" Cheng Liyao said.
His temperament is not as calm as his two brothers, and he is not suitable for officialdom, so now that he has the opportunity, he will go with Yuan Heng and make a new name for himself.
"Xiao Si, that's a battlefield!" Cheng Shang was the first to object!
Xiao Si is now an eighth-rank official, how can he start all over again? This damn kid!
"Yao'er, mother doesn't allow you to go! In this chaotic time, are you, a weak scholar, going to die?" Li Huaxiang looked at Cheng Liyao with tearful eyes.
Everyone's mouth twitched. Did the eldest wife misunderstand Cheng Liyao? A weak scholar? Who? Cheng Liyao?
"Apologize quickly, your mother is crying!" Cheng Jin couldn't bear to see his wife feeling uncomfortable, so he said immediately!
"Mom, I shouldn't make you cry, but I really want to go to the battlefield. You know I don't want to be a civil servant.
I want to be a general! Holding a sword, I will protect my country. Even if I die on the battlefield, I will accept it!" Cheng Liyao knelt down in front of Li Huaxiang and kowtowed three times.
He is so unfilial. He finally grew up and now he wants to make his mother cry again!
"Mom, just let him go! This is his lifelong wish!" Cheng Lixiao looked at his second brother (his biological brother). He actually envied Cheng Liyao's courage and was willing to help him realize his dream.
He also dreamed of becoming a general, but he had his own responsibilities and missions. He was the eldest grandson of the Cheng family and had to protect the rear for his younger brothers.
Because, with him around, his brothers have a home!
"Go, go! It's rare for my son to have such great ambitions! Go! Help your elder brother realize his dream of becoming a general!
"Brother Yuan, I'll leave Yao'er in your care from now on!" Li Huaxiang looked at her sons with tears in her eyes.
She knew that both of her sons had dreams of joining the army. In the past, the family was poor, and Xiao'er didn't have the conditions, so he went to the escort agency to be an apprentice at an early age. Now that they have the conditions, she let Yao'er go and give it a try!
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as I'm alive, Li Yao will definitely be alive!" Yuan Heng said.
The Cheng family is always like this... thinking about their loved ones!
"Dad, fourth brother, this is medicine for wounds! This is hemostatic medicine! This is detoxifying pills! This is life-saving pills, don't use them unless necessary! This is ginseng slices! Don't be reluctant to use them! This is elixir, you must drink it if you are injured..." Cheng Yu started to mutter to himself when he was so nervous.
This is also the warmth that Yuan Heng longed for. Xiao Yuer really treated him like her own daughter and gave him all the good things!
Finally, after this incident, Cheng Liyao and Yuan Heng entered the palace and defeated a team of imperial guards. Only then was he awarded the title of centurion. He then went to the battlefield with Yuan Heng. From then on, the Cheng family had one more worry!
Murong Qian: I obviously wanted to keep Cheng Liyao, so why did I give him a centurion?
"Have a safe journey! We will be waiting for your triumphant return home!"
(Author's words: Thank you for your support and thank you for your gifts. I received them and I love you all!)
