"When the fire kang was introduced to the North, I thought who could be so clever and come up with such a good idea, but I didn't expect that after going round and round, I actually met the Evergreen Brothers."

After entering the room, Wang Hanting took off his coat and sat cross-legged opposite Ning Changrong.

Ning Changrong smiled modestly and ate melon seeds face to face.

He didn't come up with this fire kang. He just stood on the shoulders of those who came before him.

"Tsk, tsk, I am also a scholar. I don't know why. When I look at Mr. Bai, I know that he and I are not on the same page, but I feel very comfortable talking to the Changrong brothers." Wang Hanting said while shaking his head.

Ma Honglin on the side nodded repeatedly, "I also think it's not that there's anything wrong with Mr. Bai, but he just always feels uncomfortable."

The two of them were straight forward, without so many twists and turns. Maybe Wang Hanting had some small thoughts, but he would not use them when getting along with his own people. Bai Yunliang has always had the aloofness of a scholar. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, He usually does things with some caution. It's no wonder that generals such as Wang Hanting and Ma Honglin can't get along with him.

"I'm not much of a scholar. I just attended a private school for a few years. I can't compare to a real scholar like Mr. Bai." Ning Changrong shook his head.

The Evergreen brothers are really impeccable in their work, and they will never say anything bad about anyone in front of them.

Bai Yunliang was not even willing to say a few words with them.

Although they didn't say anything bad, at most they just talked about their thoughts.

Ning Changrong was tight-lipped and did not express any opinions of his own, and his words were often self-deprecating.

But it is this kind of people worth making friends with, Wang Hanting thought.

"Do we have any plans for next spring?" Ning Changrong asked, changing the subject.

"There must be a big move. I have trained the cavalry day and night for several months. I have provided them with good food and drink. I am not letting them enjoy the privilege of becoming a master."

The cavalry is by far the best-paid team except for the firearms battalion. They are well fed, have the best swords and arrows, the best armor, and are provided with meat every few days.

Other ordinary soldiers usually only have enough to eat and can only eat meat when they go to the battlefield. Unlike the cavalry, they can eat meat during training. However, other ordinary soldiers are envious of them. It is a pity that they were not selected. Unlike the cavalry, You can eat meat during training on weekdays, but it makes other ordinary soldiers envious.

However, most soldiers are jealously staring at the selected cavalry. It doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax if you are selected. If you can't keep up with the training, you will be eliminated, and naturally there will be people who move up to the eliminated positions.

Ma Honglin was a little sour and said awkwardly, "My riding and shooting skills are better than yours. Why didn't the general choose me for training?"

It can be foreseen that this cavalry will definitely play a big role in future battlefields. Shouldn't the credit be picked up casually?

"tnnd, how can your mounted shooting be better than mine? I can knock you off your horse in three moves now."

"We are all acquaintances, why are you pretending to be a big deal like this? Don't I know what you are like? Isn't it just because you are proficient in the saddle? After I practice for a while, you will still be my defeat!" Ma Honglin Not convinced by Qi Dao.

"If you have the ability, go out and practice now! I'll show you the real results!"

"Let's go, go now, go now, whoever dares to go is a coward!"

The two of them were talking to each other, and they were about to get into an argument. Ning Changrong had to come out to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, everyone eats from the same pot, so why is it so noisy? It's snowing heavily outside, so don't bother."

The two of them frowned and didn't look at each other, but they both gave Ning Changrong a face, stood up and sat back down.

"Brother Ma, Brother Wang, you are both good at riding and shooting." Ning Changrong paused and turned to Ma Honglin: "Brother Ma was injured at the time, wasn't he? The general couldn't choose you even if he wanted to,"

He turned to Wang Hanting and said, "I don't mean that Brother Wang is not good at riding and shooting. You are both good. It's just that you can't choose both generals to train cavalry. There must be one person who has to handle military and political affairs. I think The general must have been hesitant at the time. Brother Ma happened to be injured. Training cavalry requires setting an example and working hard. Brother Ma is certainly not suitable for doing this kind of thing while recovering from his injuries." "Brother Wang is working hard to train the cavalry, and Brother Ma has to deal with the military. Other matters are not easy either. We are all good brothers and there is no need to compete."

Ning Changrong is like a Duan Shui master who cannot offend anyone.

Although the two of them were still a little unconvinced, they didn't say anything more.

……

After seeing the two of them off, Ning Changrong breathed a sigh of relief and walked back slowly.

Both of them are easy to get along with, but neither of them likes each other. They will start to quarrel without saying a few words, and if it doesn't work, they will have to fight.

But if you want to say that they have a bad relationship, on the battlefield, they are brothers of life and death who can leave each other's back.

Ning Changrong was too lazy to get involved in their affairs, but it was snowing heavily outside, and the two of them went out to compete. If something bad happened, wouldn't he have to be implicated?
Ning Qingxi was wearing the gloves that Wang Xiujuan had sewn for her. She was holding a small bamboo cage in her hand. There was a porcelain inside the small bamboo cage. Inside the porcelain was burning charcoal. You could feel it by holding it on the handle of the small bamboo cage. to the heat of the charcoal fire.The small bamboo cage can also be carried around, which is very convenient.

"It's so cold, let me bake." After saying that, Ning Changrong stretched his hand to the small bamboo cage.

"What's up, dad, I just saw you sighing." Ning Qingxi handed the small bamboo cage to Ning Changrong and put it in his hands.

"It's not a sigh, it's a sigh of relief. I finally sent these two people away."

Ning Changrong spoke speechlessly about the dispute between the two people.

Ning Qingxi laughed after hearing this and said, "Uncle Ma and Uncle Wang don't know what they are doing. They just don't like each other and insist on competing."

The two of them walked towards the house while chatting.

"Come in quickly, what are you two doing outside?" Wang Xiujuan urged.

"I'm coming."

Nowadays, it is difficult to collect firewood in the city, so we have to rely on burning charcoal.

Fortunately, the chimney was built, otherwise the family would have to ascend to heaven again like this.A small bamboo cage with a charcoal fire cannot enter the house.

There is a kang burning in the house, but it is of no use.

"It's been really cold this year. I always have a bad feeling." Wang Xiujuan said worriedly.

"Isn't it said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest?" Ning Qingxi asked doubtfully.

"Mom, are you thinking too much?" Ning Changrong asked with concern.

Wang Xiujuan shook her head, her brows still tightening, "I hope so, but I always feel that something will happen. Okay, this is the New Year, don't talk about these spoiling things."

She paused and said to Ning Qingxi: "You told Nai about the gelding earlier. Nai thought about it and it should be okay."

"Really?" Ning Qingxi said happily.

It was really painful not being able to eat pork, but if she had to bite the bullet and eat it, she would rather not eat the pigs that were fishy, ​​fishy, ​​and raised from who knows what kind of stuff.
