Chapter 396
"Brother Zihou, why didn't you send these rogues to the government, why did you take them to Quanzhou?" On the carriage, Pinlan asked Wang Qian'er curiously.

Originally, Pinlan wanted to ride in the same car with Shulan, the old lady and Minglan, but Pinlan was too curious about Wang Qianer, so she had to drag Wang Qianer into the same car.

Wang Qianer was holding a piece of silk cloth in her hand, and next to it was the box containing the steel gun that she had just pulled out from under the seat. gun head.

"Third Uncle said that Quanzhou is the most underpopulated. These rogues, if you really want to say it, should be ordinary people. Maybe some are voluntary, but most of them should be bewitched and coerced by thieves. That's why they became rogues. "

"If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't survive, who would want to put his head on the belt of his trousers and live a life of precarity, eating his last meal without his next meal!"

When Wang Qianer was a child, her family was poor, and she relied on her mother Wang Li's starch to wash, sew and mend to get by. Although it was not long, Wang Zhong took on the burden of the family in a few years, so that both Wang Qianer and her mother could live on food and clothing. A carefree and prosperous life, but Wang Qianer has never forgotten her childhood experience. If it was before, Wang Qianer might not be able to say such words, but as she gets older, she reads more and more pages , Knowing more and more truths, when talking about these rogues, it is inevitable to have some feelings.

Since she was young, Pinlan was well-clothed and well-fed, so she naturally couldn't understand what Wang Qianer said.

"Is there a shortage of people in Quanzhou?" Pinlan asked curiously.

Wang Qian'er was still carefully wiping the tip of the gun in her hand, and replied in a flat tone: "There must be a shortage of people, otherwise why did Third Uncle go to such great lengths to persuade these rogues to go to Quanzhou?"

If you send people directly to the local county government and wait for these rogues, they may be exiled into the army, assassinated, or punished in other ways, it is better to take these people to Quanzhou, anyway, all walks of life in Quanzhou have entered The stage of rapid development is the time when there is a shortage of people.

Pinlan didn't dwell on this topic, but her eyes lit up, remembering Wang Qian'er just now following behind Wang Zhong, with a spear like a dragon, she couldn't help giving a thumbs up and said: "You were too powerful just now, you are much stronger than me. The second brother is not bad, my second brother has been practicing martial arts for more than ten years!"

Wang Qian'er said indifferently: "I have practiced martial arts for almost ten years!"

"Ten years?" Pinlan looked at Sister Qian incredulously: "How old are you?"

"I have been practicing boxing and kicking with my third uncle since I was five years old." Wang Qian'er said flatly.

"Tell me about your third uncle!" After a pause, Pinlan suddenly changed the subject.

"My third uncle?" Wang Qier finally turned around and moved her gaze from the gun tip to Pinlan. After looking at Pinlan up and down, she said, "Are you going to be my third uncle's concubine? "

In Wang Qian'er's opinion, although Pinlan's appearance is not as good as Minglan's, but she has delicate features, can be said to be above average, her body looks not bad, and her temperament is also refreshing. If she can be a concubine for the third uncle If so, she must have no objection.

Pinlan was stunned by Wang Qian'er's question, her pretty face blushed quickly, and she hurriedly explained: "Bah bah bah! Who is going to be a concubine? I am a daughter of the Sheng family, how can someone else do it?" concubine!"

When she heard that she was not a concubine for her third uncle, Wang Qier immediately lost interest and said casually, "Then why do you care so much about my third uncle?"

Pinlan has a bright personality, and her shyness only lasted for a moment, and she didn't have any thoughts about Wang Zhong, so her blushing just now was just a girl's instinct, after all, she is still a young girl who has not left the court.

Regarding Wang Qian'er's question, Pinlan didn't hide it, but said directly: "I'm just curious. Everyone in the world says that a woman is virtuous if she has no talent. Why is your third uncle different from others, and even taught you?" A little girl studying and practicing martial arts?"

"Because third uncle has no choice!" Wang Qian'er paused as she wiped her gun, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Third uncle also said that women may not be inferior to men."

"Really?" Pinlan was clearly interested, "Your third uncle really said that?"

Wang Qian'er nodded and said, "Third uncle often says that when he comforts me!"

"Eh..." Pinlan didn't know how to answer the question.

In the carriage in front, Old Madam Sheng, Minglan, Shulan, and Minglan's aunt Wei Niangzi were sitting in the carriage.

"The bandits have come to Youyang, won't those rebels come over?" Mrs. Wei said in shock, obviously she had not yet calmed down from the shock of being attacked by the bandits.

But Minglan said: "The rebellion of the rogues is not a military rebellion. This group of rogues only looks like a hundred people, and many of them are civilians who were coerced. It means that they fled all the way to Yuyang after the defeat of the army. From Luzhou to Youyang, hundreds of miles away, I think it should be the group of rebels who were defeated by Brother Gu during the Chinese New Year."

"And now that Brother Gu is leading the troops and is stationed in Shen County, even if the bandits want to attack, they have to break through Shen County first." Although Wang Zhong had only been in Youyang for a few days, he was still with Minglan and Lao Madam and the others talked about news from the front line. After all, Youyang was close.

Regarding the news about the rogues, Wang Zhong had already received the news, but he didn't know the specific movements of the rogues, but the auspicious dates that had been set were not easy to change. Besides, it was just mere rogues. Wang Zhong brought so many guards. The bandits came to the door by themselves.

"If you say that Gu Erlang is really capable, the officers and soldiers were basically defeated in the previous battles with this group of rebels. Now that he has gone, he has actually won the battle!" Mrs. Wei still treated Ming Lan Very trustworthy, hearing what Minglan said, the heart that had been hanging was relieved, and the topic changed, and Gu Erlai was mentioned.

When she was in Quanzhou, Mrs. Wei often saw Gu Er at Wang Zhong's house, "No wonder Zihou traveled so far to invite him from Bianjing to Quanzhou!"

Ming Lan said: "Second Brother Gu was born in the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. He has a long history of family education, high martial arts skills, familiarity with the art of war, and a deep understanding of how to lead troops in battle. Brother Zihou respected him quite a lot in the past!"

The old lady Sheng next to her was also a little emotional: "I never thought that such a flamboyant Gu Er is actually a real talent."

Ming Lan smiled slightly, and said, "If Second Brother Gu is really just a fancy embroidered pillow, how can Brother Zihou and Second Brother befriend him and even call him a confidant!"

Old Mrs. Sheng said: "A prodigal son can never be replaced by gold. If Mr. Gu Hou saw him like this, he would be very happy." Although they were both from noble backgrounds, although they were not their nephews, seeing Gu Er being able to turn back a prodigal son, Mrs. Sheng felt deeply in her heart. Still a little relieved.

Lady Wei asked doubtfully: "The prodigal son turned back? Could it be that Gu Erlang was a prodigal playboy before?"

When Lady Wei met Gu Er, Gu Er was already helping Wang Zhong train Xiang Yong in Quanzhou, so Lady Wei didn't know about Gu Er's ridiculous past.

"I can't say I'm a prodigal, but I was a little absurd when I was young. I lingered in the Fireworks and Willow Lane. I heard from brother Zihou that the second brother Gu was ignorant when he was young. He imitated Mr. Wudu, and he has long since changed!"

Unlike outsiders, Ming Lan has prejudice against Gu Er, on the one hand because of Changbai, on the other hand, because of Wang Zhong.

The name of Gu Er, the vanguard in the wind, Zhao Zilong under the peony flower, not to mention the city of Tokyo, even the whole of Gyeonggi, has already been spread.

But Changbai and Wang Zhong were not only on good terms with Gu Er, they also had close friendships with each other. Minglan once asked Wang Zhong privately, why were they still friends with Gu Er when he had such a bad reputation?
But Wang Zhong said that the so-called notoriety is nothing more than people who don't know right from wrong. He acted a little looser, and was completely different from those dudes who only knew how to use family power and their parents' shadow to run rampant, but they were actually useless.

The reason why it has gained such a bad reputation has to do with the Gu family.

Ming Lan was very intelligent and transparent since she was a child, Wang Zhong only needed a little advice, and she figured out all the details. After all, it was nothing more than fighting for power and property, intrigue and intrigue.

Gu Er is the legitimate second son of Ningyuan Marquis Gu Yankai, but he is not the son of the current Xiao Qin family's wife, but Gu's second wife, Bai family's wife. Gu Hou's eldest son Gu Tingyu is also weak and sickly. Over the years, I have invited countless palace doctors and famous doctors, but they are all helpless. I don't know if I fall asleep one day and never wake up again.

Gu Tingyu has only one daughter under his knees. If one day Gu Tingyu goes away, the one who will inherit the title of Marquis of Ningyuan in the future will be Gu Tingye!
Now the little lady of the Qin family in the Ningyuan Hou's mansion has always loved Gu Tingye. Since she was a child, no matter what mistakes Gu Tingye made, she never beat or scolded her, and she always spoke out in front of Gu Houye.

If an outsider looks like this, she is a kind-hearted female Bodhisattva. As the stepmother has done the job of Xiao Qin, no one can point out any mistakes on her part.

But when Minglan read "Warring States Strategy" and watched Zheng Zhuanggong's overcoming Duan Yuyan, she couldn't help but guess that Xiao Qin's doting on Gu Er so much was not because she was flattering her?

There are countless children of noble families like Gu Er who hang out in brothels. But which parent does not go to great lengths to cover up his children and nephews? Gu Er is the only one with a notorious reputation. the whole of Tokyo.

Don't talk about other families, just talk about the four-bedroom and five-bedroom members of the Gu family, from top to bottom, from old to young, which ones don't spend their days sleeping in flowers and willows, lingering in Qinlou Chu Pavilion, full of alcohol every day , Going home drunk, there are so many people in the Gu family, but Gu Er is the only one with a bad reputation.

Moreover, since Gu Er came back from Yangzhou, he changed his mind and went to Yangzhou. At that time, Gu Er was only sixteen or seventeen years old. But it is the worst one in the whole Tokyo city. If there is no one here to help the flames, Minglan herself does not believe it.

Some people have some things, it is true that the beholder sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom.

"I'll just say it!" Mrs. Wei said: "I see that Gu Erlang is a rare and good gentleman, polite, civil and military, even my brother Xin and brother Yi often talk about Gu Erlang at home. It’s so awesome!”

"Brother Xin and Brother Yi?" Minglan looked at Madam Wei curiously.

Mrs. Wei hurriedly explained with a smile: "Didn't I go to Quanzhou with Zihou last year? Brother Xin and Brother Yi couldn't study well, and they didn't have much talent. They couldn't keep up with Sister Qian and the others when they studied. But Zihou said that the two of them had a good foundation in martial arts, so he taught them some kung fu, and later sent the two brothers to the barracks to follow Gu Erlang, saying that they were learning some riding and archery skills, as well as the ability to form troops. , and the art of war, it is said that in the future, even if you fail the imperial examination, you can still follow the path of martial arts, and if Zihou is promoted, there will always be some future."

The old lady Sheng nodded and said: "Martial arts is indeed a way, and Changwu's child is also following the way of martial arts, and there will be someone to take care of him in the future."

Mrs. Wei smiled and waved her hands and said, "Brother Xin and Brother Yi are not as capable as Brother Changwu. As long as the two brothers can pass the test, I can wake up laughing every day!"

Although these words are somewhat modest, they are not words against one's will. I know that the child I gave birth to, Mrs. Wei was also born in a scholar's family, and I know in my heart that Zhang Xin and Zhang Yi are not young talents with extraordinary talents, but It is because of the blessings of sister Wei Shuyi and Ming Lan that Wang Zihou can help and take care of him. He did not expect the two sons to be as successful as Wang Zhong. As long as they have a future, they don’t have to be like themselves and the head of the family. Working hard all day long to make a living.

But Minglan said: "Studying depends not only on talent, but also on perseverance. I used to be a high-ranking servant, but my family has fallen since I was a child, and my talent is also ordinary, but I have always insisted on studying and practicing martial arts. I didn't stop until I was 50 years old. Becoming an official, and then a late bloomer, an extremely personable minister, it can be seen that in addition to talent, perseverance is also very important in reading."

"Even though Brother Xin and Brother Yi are young, they are people with extraordinary perseverance. Even in these days in Youyang, they never forget to study and practice martial arts. They will have a bright future in the future."

The smile on Mrs. Wei's face became brighter and brighter. How can there be parents in this world who don't expect their children to have a future.

You Yang is not far from Jinling, but it takes only half a day's journey to get there. However, due to the late departure, he encountered bandits on the road, so he rested for a while and treated the wounds of the injured, which inevitably delayed the time. After the end of time, I arrived at Jinling.

After making arrangements for Ming Lan and his party and having dinner, Wang Zhong came to Ming Lan and asked her to lead Wang Qian'er to deal with the rogues who had surrendered, while he himself went to pay a visit to the prefect of Jiangning.

Ming Lan's mind is exquisite and clear, and she is quite considerate in handling things, knowing that Wang Zhong intends to gather these refugees to Quanzhou, Ming Lan is naturally happy to take care of it for Wang Zhong.

Ming Lan summoned Wang Erxi, wrote a good letter, asked him to stay in Youyang, and went to find Sheng Wei. She took a dozen innocent and kind people selected from the surrendered bandits, and borrowed the help of Sheng's family near Youyang. He gathered the rogues and refugees who had fled, and selected honest and kind people from them, and sent them to Quanzhou.

Wang Erxi looked forward to the stars and the moon because he was looking forward to being able to go to Quanzhou with Wang Zhong again. However, his dream came to an end and he was assigned an errand, but Wang Erxi was not a person who didn't know the importance. He knew what was the right thing to do. But for the sake of business, he can only accept it. After all, Wang Erxi is the one who has the most contact with the Cao Gang on weekdays. These refugees who have gathered have to be sent to Quanzhou through the Cao Gang.

Before Wang Zhong came back from the government office, Minglan had already arranged everything. It was just a pain for Wang Erxi that he had just arrived in Jinling and had to rush back to Youyang.

Early the next morning, a group of people boarded a boat from Jinling Wharf, went down the river, and headed east all the way, and within ten days, they arrived in Quanzhou.
