When the steward heard this, both sides were delighted: "General, the 300 war horses trained last year have been trained."
Qin Fang had 100,000 taels of silver from the emperor. After the stable was built last year, he directly bought 500 healthy foals. The remaining silver was used to buy stallions and mares and to keep the horses. He did not expect that after a year, 300 war horses had been trained. This shows the steward's ability.
Qin Fang was delighted: "That's great, take me to see it."
The steward said: "General, please. However, these 300 war horses all have owners. If they are sent to the barracks, they must be with the soldiers." During training, one soldier was assigned one war horse, otherwise it would be impossible to train. So there have never been war horses going anywhere, only cavalry going there, because soldiers with war horses are called cavalry.
Qin Fang said: "I understand."
Qin Fang went to the training ground and watched 300 cavalry training under the command of the steward. It must be said that he was shocked. Although there were cavalry when he was in the Yongzhou military camp, it was completely different from the feeling now. These cavalry in front of him were trained from his horse farm, and the sense of accomplishment was different.
Qin Fang went back from the horse farm and went to the study to write a letter as soon as he got home. After writing the letter, he did not send Tao Shan to deliver it, but asked the two grooms from the palace to deliver it. No matter what method they have, he believes that it is safer to let Tao Shan deliver it than for them to deliver it.
In fact, it is true.
The groom quickly delivered the letter to the emperor through his own channels.
The emperor was very happy when he saw that the horse farm had trained 300 cavalrymen. At the same time, he also saw the suggestion made by Qin Fang.
Because cavalrymen are equipped with horses for soldiers, that is to say, if more war horses are needed, it is best to train them together with the soldiers, so soldiers have to be recruited. According to Qin Fang, there are two ways to recruit soldiers. One is to recruit them locally in Yunxiang County. The other is to send soldiers directly from other military camps. However, in this way, the affairs of the horse farm here will be exposed.
The emperor naturally did not want the affairs of the horse farm to be exposed, so he directly asked Qin Fang to recruit soldiers locally.
The emperor's reply was quickly delivered to Qin Fang. In fact, Qin Fang was not surprised at all by the emperor's reply. However, the garrison here can only be 1,000, so he dared not recruit soldiers before the emperor's order. Now that the emperor's order is in place, he can naturally do it.
"Mother... Mother..." Since the baby could call mother, he would call mother from time to time every day.
Yang Haiyan was sitting on the side, and Nanny Lian played with him. She made a bib for the baby. But after playing with Nanny Lian for a while, the baby wanted to play with his mother. The most direct expression was that he threw the ball to his mother.
Nanny Lian: "Young Master is really smart, he knows to call her Madam like this."
Yang Haiyan put down the work in her hands: "It's just that I don't have enough strength, I can't throw it. By the way, has Shouye mentioned
anything about Miss Li recently?" Nanny Lian said: "According to my observation, I have told the patrol guards that Doctor Li often goes to the courtyard to collect herbs, so let them take care of the courtyard to avoid any accidents when Miss Li is left alone."
Yang Haiyan nodded: "It's good that Shouye didn't insist." Maybe he was still young, and was frightened by what she said about infertility.
"Madam..." Suddenly, Aunt Yu's voice rang from outside.
Nanny Lian went out: "What's the matter?"
Aunt Yu said: "Second Master is here, he wants to see Madam."
Although the eldest sister-in-law and the younger brother-in-law had to avoid each other when they met, they did not avoid the servants when they met because of Nanny Lian and other servants. Besides, the Qin family was simple and there were no bad people to spread rumors, so it was okay to meet once or twice occasionally.
Yang Haiyan naturally heard what was said outside, she said: "Let him in." This is a leisure room for Xiaobao to play, so it was okay to let Qin Shouye in.
After Qin Shouye came in, he bowed and said, "Meet the elder sister-in-law."
Yang Haiyan said, "No need to be polite. You want to talk to me about something?"
Qin Shouye glanced at Nanny Lian, thinking that Nanny Lian was the elder sister-in-law's confidant and that many of the elder sister-in-law's affairs were handled by Nanny Lian, so he didn't hesitate any more and said directly, "I... the day before yesterday... the day before yesterday, a friend in the military camp had a birthday, and I went to a friend's house for dinner, and then drank wine, and something happened after drinking wine."
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she couldn't help but think of some novel plots: "After drinking, he had an affair with the girl?" She said this jokingly, but Qin Shouye blushed.
Seeing him like this, Yang Haiyan's heart sank: "It can't be true, right?" With the current status of the Qin family, it is not impossible that some people plotted against Qin Shouye for wealth and status. Thinking of this, Yang Haiyan's heart sank even more. "Tell me in detail, what happened?"
Qin Shouye also said awkwardly: "Yes. Yesterday was a day off, and several of our friends who have a good relationship with us went to Xu Feng's house to celebrate his birthday. Because everyone was happy and drinking can warm the body, so there was more wine. On the way, I went to the toilet. Because I was a little drunk, I didn't notice that there was anyone in the toilet when I went in. As a result, I bumped into Xu Feng's sister. Then she screamed, which startled a lot of people. Everyone saw me and Xu Feng's sister in there, which ruined her reputation. Sister-in-law, I..."
Yang Haiyan: "You should know that since your brother became a general and the Qin family became prosperous, Ping There are always some people who have wild ideas. Shouye, although we can't think too badly of people, we still have to be on guard. "
I know, sister-in-law. But I was the one who went in at that time. If they wanted to plot against me, they wouldn't... they wouldn't plot against me in the toilet. Moreover, this happened the day before yesterday. I went to inquire about the family style of the Xu family these two days. They don't seem like that kind of people. So I came to tell this to sister-in-law today. What should I do?"
Yang Haiyan didn't know whether the Xu Feng family he was talking about was a good family. Qin Shouye bumped into Xu Feng's sister when he went to the toilet after getting drunk. This kind of thing is easy to solve, but it is not easy to solve. If he just bumped into him at the door, it could be solved. If he went into the toilet and was seen by others, it would be tantamount to ruining the girl's reputation. But from Qin Shouye's description, it was obviously the latter.
But: "Shouye, aren't there separate toilets for men and women in the Xu family's toilet?" Even in the countryside, there should be more than one toilet. "And if someone is using the toilet, the door should be closed. How can you open it?"
Qin Shouye said: "The Xu family does have two toilets. When I wanted to use the toilet, I didn't know where the toilet was. Xu Feng took me there, and he also went to the toilet. One He occupied the toilet, so I had to go to another one. Then I opened the door, and walked in with a bit of dazzle, and ran into Sister Xu Feng. I have also considered the issues you have considered. It is really too coincidental, but I have asked about the Xu family, and the reputation of their family in the village is very good. "
Qin Shouye is no longer the same Qin Shouye. In the past year and a half, he has learned a lot and is cautious in doing things. After investigation, he found that it was really a coincidence, so he came to tell Yang Haiyan. Originally, this matter should have been told to Qin's mother, but Qin's mother was not there. In fact, even if Qin's mother was there, he would tell Yang Haiyan. He felt that his sister-in-law was more reliable.
After hearing this, Yang Haiyan did not say anything immediately, but said: "I will discuss this matter with your eldest brother. If it is really just a compromise and not their calculation, what do you plan to do?"
Qin Shouye was nervous: "Sister-in-law, I..."
"Are you going to marry her?" Yang Haiyan asked.
Qin Shouye was silent. Marry her? He didn't like her. He wanted to marry a girl he liked. He wanted to marry Miss Li. However, he didn't have the courage to face the fact that he would not have children in the future. After his sister-in-law told him about Miss Li last year, he escaped. He also used the fact that he was taken to the military camp by his eldest brother to escape completely. He didn't have the courage to face it, so he never mentioned it. Occasionally, when he wanted to pass by the yard, he remembered his sister-in-law's words and had to stop.
But he was unwilling to marry Xu Feng's sister. But what can he do if he is unwilling? He ruined the girl's reputation. If he doesn't marry him, what should the girl do? "I don't know."
Yang Haiyan: "Then you think about it carefully."
Qin Shouye: "Yes."
After leaving the yard, Qin Shouye sighed deeply, feeling a little helpless. He didn't know why it would be like this. Why did it turn out like this? After
Qin Shouye left, Yang Haiyan asked Nanny Lian: "Nanny, what do you think about this?"
Nanny Lian said truthfully: "I don't know. It was just a coincidence. Xu Feng took the second master to the toilet, and the door of the toilet was not closed. But it's not a complete calculation. How did they know that the second master would definitely go to the toilet?" In the countryside, there are no men's and women's toilets, or in other words, there is no distinction between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard. If it were in a wealthy family, this kind of thing would not exist. "Why don't we let this old servant investigate?"
Yang Haiyan said, "Why do you need to go? Let my husband send someone to investigate. It's about his brother's affairs. Let him also give some advice to prevent him from causing such trouble in the future."
Nanny Lian didn't dare to agree to this. The lady could say it, but she, as a servant, couldn't.
When Qin Fang came back at dinner time, Yang Haiyan told Qin Fang about this matter. Qin Fang frowned when he heard this: "It's almost the New Year, how can this happen?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Isn't it? Don't tell me that the matter of Aunt Fan's family is over, and this wave comes again. If it is an accident, it's okay, but I'm afraid that someone is calculating and causing you to suffer while maintaining your business."
Qin Fang heard this and said seriously: "I will investigate."
Yang Haiyan: "Of course you should investigate." At this point, she turned around again, "General Qin, I'm afraid there will be many girls like this who will throw themselves at you in the future."
