A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 627

Wang Dou's birthday was unimaginably lively, and the surrounding officials and generals, who could be there, all arrived.

Those who couldn't come, also sent congratulatory gifts, that is, in the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, many officials, gentry and businessmen also sent congratulatory gifts and loads of goods. Those with lower official positions, or ordinary merchants, were not even qualified to roll their names.

All the generals of the Jingbian army counted all the officers and generals above the total number. Wang Dou's general's mansion can be said to be spacious, but today, it feels cramped and cramped.

And they all wore the new uniforms of the Jingbian Army.

Although Sanshan caps and Yisa costumes were very common in Daming at this time, and many officials and people wore them, but so many people gathered together, people who didn't know would think that Jinyiwei from all over the Ming Dynasty had come to the East Road.

Ni Yuanlu and the others all looked at them with flickering eyes. They had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Wang Dou looked at it with a smile. In later generations, he admired the Jinyiwei-style clothing, which vividly reflected the beauty and cruelty of men, and it was the acme of the Han family's clothing.

This is just the first step. His goal is to make Daming clothing and Han family clothing cover the whole world in the future.

Let the aesthetic standards of the Han people prevail in the world, and the Han style is everywhere in the world.

At Wang Dou's birthday banquet, his wife, Xie Xiuniang, naturally sat next to him, and Ji Junjiao also sat on the other side.

This reassured Ji Junmen that Wang Dou treated his daughter well. In private, Wang Dou also talked with him. A Tunbao who serves as a scribe can only be exonerated if he has accumulated a certain amount of meritorious service.

For this important occasion, Xie Xiuniang naturally had to put on her own formal attire and a golden crown, while Ji Junjiao wore ordinary clothes and a sable fur, which was unspeakably charming.

Seeing her watery eyes and dazzling brilliance, all the officials and generals below either dared not look at her, or secretly looked at her, their hearts jumped wildly, and many people cursed inwardly: "A beauty is a disaster!"

Such a woman, only Wang Dou doesn't care, if she is placed in the palace, she will be kicked out immediately.

In fact, Ji Junjiao has been sitting gracefully, but she has just been nourished, and she hides a charming and graceful demeanor, making others unconsciously think that she is discharging, which is just an illusion.

Ji Junjiao smiled, and glanced across the crowd below. When she saw Zhong Xiancai, she pursed her lips and smiled thoughtfully, which made Zhong Xiancai quickly lower her head in fright.

Everyone sat down, and there was a loud bang, all the generals of the Jingbian army and all the officials of the shogunate stood up, and said loudly: "Congratulations to the great general!"

Their noise was like thunder, which inevitably startled some people nearby. Wang Dou stood up, raised his glass slowly, and shouted: "Congratulations to my generals!"

……

The grand banquet, let everyone talk about it, the banquet will be held for three consecutive days, of course, except for the first day, the meeting is free.

"Haha, General Lin, the matter of Han Kaihui, the officer of Han Kaihui under the command of this Marquis, and the noble daughter of Fufu, that's the deal."

"Yes, Lord Hou, don't worry, the last general will reply to my general right away."

"Hey, Marquis Yongning, I'm not bragging, my niece looks like a fairy, but also gentle, dignified, natural beauty, gentle lady, beautiful, graceful, charming..."

"More importantly, after the master's fortune-telling, the great Wangfu, Han Xiaodi is blessed, so, these three media and six hires, don't be sloppy..."

Chen Jiugao said a lot eloquently. He and Fu Yingchong were close buddies. According to seniority, Fu Yingchong's niece was also his niece. Of course he was concerned about this matter.

I haven't seen him for half a year, but Chen Jiugao is still so suave, but the East Road is fine, and Nanshan Road is naturally even more fine. How can Chen Jiugao survive in a small ditch like Liugoubao?
He would run to Huailai all day long, or to Yanqing, or to Yongning City. He had nothing to do with his business, and only won the fame of the brothel.

Chen Jiugao thinks he is on good terms with Wang Dou, why can't he be there for his 30th birthday?
Mentioning the matter of Fu Yingchong's niece also shows his own existence.

Lin Jinsi, Fu Ying's relative, joined him again and again.

Fu Yingchong is now considered a man of the capital, looking at the imperial court and the sage, he seems to have a heart-wrenching relationship with Marquis Yongning, and he doesn't dare to get too close to him openly. However, taking advantage of Marquis Yongning's birthday, he sent his confidants to visit and give presents, which is what it should be.

In terms of etiquette, it was also impeccable, and took the opportunity to handle the affairs of the two families.

At this moment, everyone was located in a side courtyard of the Marquis of Yongning, only Wang Dou, Chen Jiugao, Lin Jinsi, and Zhong Xiancai were there, and Zhong Tiaoyang, a general of the Chinese army, was also sitting beside him with a smile.

"...So, don't be sloppy. According to the ancient etiquette, three matchmakers and six hires are one. If the man accepts it, he has to bring a pair of wild geese to show his sincerity..."

Chen Jiugao shook his head and shook his head: "There is a saying in ancient times, when the geese sing in Yongyong, the sun begins to dawn. A man is like returning to his wife, and the ice is not ready. Sending a pair of wild geese as a bride price is very, very important..."

He was eloquent, and suddenly said to Zhong Xiancai next to him: "Is that right, General Zhong? Hurry up, call your righteous brother, practice hard on archery, and shoot down a pair of wild geese with your own hands. Without wild geese, you can't win a beautiful woman, haha Ha ha ha ha……"

Zhong Xian kept his head down, and hummed when he heard the words.

Standing up, he cupped his hands to Wang Dou and said, "General, the last general will retire now."

Wang Doudao: "Just now what Chen Zongzhen said is very true, show your talent, tell the Han team officer, don't be careless about the wild geese."

Seeing that Zhong Xiancai was in a hurry to leave, he said to Zhong Tiaoyang, "Cousin, pick one from the guest's gift list and let Xiancai take it back."

Zhong Tiaoyang responded.

Seeing Zhong Xiancai leaving as if fleeing for his life, Chen Jiugao said, "This General Zhong, why is he so shy?"

Turning around, rubbing his hands, he smiled at Wang Dou and said, "Master Hou, this time, you've made a fuss... the nephew who is in charge of my mother-in-law's brother's cousin intends to buy a few shops in Zhangjiakou, I don't know This... this... hehe."

Wang Dou took a sip of tea slowly, and when Chen Jiugao was impatient, he said, "I heard from brother Chen that you have a lot of contacts in the capital?"

Chen Jiugao patted himself on the thigh: "What's the point? I think back then..."

Wang Doudao: "Brother Chen, I intend to open a mansion in the capital, specializing in the sale of my goods from the East Road. I wonder if Brother Chen is interested in acting as an agent?"

"Mansion? Agent?"

Chen Jiugao's brain immediately ran at a speed faster than a computer.

Lin Jinsi, who was next to him, also made up his mind...

……

The days when Wang Dou came home from the battle was a rare leisure time for Wang Dou. He could put aside his political affairs and concentrate on being with his family. Even if it was his birthday, except for the first day, no one else would see him face to face.

On the third day of his birthday, Wang Dou came out from Liu Qing, the second daughter of Liu Ji, and walked to Ji Junjiao's courtyard without knowing it.

It's a bit surprising that the young lady is also here, she is wearing a green bijar, elegant and luxurious, but there is a little sadness condensed between her brows, which makes me feel pity.

Seeing Wang Dou coming in, the Young Madam's eyes shrank. After hearing the rumors, others always looked at her with strange eyes. Thoughts.

She tried her best to avoid meeting Wang Dou, but she was taken to the East Road by the intelligence department. Her best friend Ji Junjiao was here, and on Wang Dou's birthday, the Li family had to come to congratulate her. The meeting between the two parties was inevitable.

Ji Junjiao went over and took Wang Dou's hand affectionately, and the young lady put on her Wanfu and said, "I've seen the Marquis of Yongning."

Wang Dou waved his hand: "There is no need to be too polite."

He said, "How is Master Li?"

The young lady said in a low voice: "When the letter came, there were many thieves in the Guide Mansion, and the situation was very difficult to control. The father-in-law said that he was devastated, and the pain was unspeakable."

Wang Dou sighed, and sat down. Ji Junjiao was lying lazily beside her, and from time to time, she put the cut pears into Wang Dou's mouth.

Wang Dou enjoyed it peacefully, this kind of behavior is common to everyone in the future generations, and he didn't take it seriously, only the young lady was embarrassed and fidgeted.

After thinking about it, the young lady said: "I haven't thanked the Marquis of Yongning for his kindness."

Wang Dou said: "Young Madam, you don't need to say thank you, this is what we should have meant. Naturally, I, Wang Dou, will not just sit idly by on the righteous merchants who have made good friends with me."

Then the young lady was silent again, and Wang Dou enjoyed Ji Junjiao's service, wondering when the light bulb would go away.

The young lady was quiet for a while, but she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly said: "I want to ask the Marquis of Yongning something."

Wang Dou said, "Oh?"

But the young lady said: "The Marquis of Yongning caught the profiteers very much, but there are some rumors... Is the method too strict?"

Wang Dou frowned, and said, "Young Madam, why do you say that?"

Ji Junjiao beside him also sat up straight and looked at his best friend in surprise.

But the young lady said: "I heard that when the Jingbian army went to Zhangjiakou, they were besieged by some rebels. It is not a pity that these people died, but there are quite a few women and children in the army. Why, the army has the heart to attack them. Is this still a matter of benevolence and justice?" Master?"

Wang Dou looked at her for a while, but the young lady bravely met Wang Dou's gaze without flinching.

Seeing her plump breasts rising and falling, it was obvious that she was frightened, but she still persisted.

This is very rare, in Daming right now, very few people can persevere under Wang Dou's sharp eyes.

Wang Dou snorted, thinking to himself, according to intelligence, this young lady is quite shrewd, but unexpectedly she is a stupid woman.

He said lightly: "According to Madam, those women and children can't be killed?"

In fact, after the Zhangjiakou incident got out, it wasn't that no one made a fuss about it.

Xuan Dawai, Wang Dou's opponents, some officers and generals from Shanxi, made friends with them, and took the opportunity to vigorously publicize the domineering and inhumane Jingbian army, vainly calling themselves a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and used it to damage the reputation of the Jingbian army. Some speech officials even wrote a letter of impeachment.

Of course, there are quite a few people defending Wang Dou and others, especially the people on the East Road, who naturally sided with the Jingbian army.

They said that those foolish men and women who live in a nest with profiteers are not worthy of sympathy, and even more so when they die.

In the Jingbian army, they are all their children and soldiers. If there are casualties, the people don't want to see it.

If you had to choose, you would naturally choose to let the outsider die and your own family be safe.
