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

Chapter 759 Hidden Mission

He often went to watch her secretly at the gate of the sewing factory, and asked someone to deliver things from time to time.

Lao Hu also took a roundabout route and became a good friend with the husband of the aunt janitor. Through the pillow wind of that friend, he got a lot of information about this girl.

He resolutely started saving money, no longer wasted money, and the first big thing he did was to buy the rented house.

When he came to this place, he already felt affection and had a good relationship with the neighbors, so he didn't want to move.

Secondly, the courtyard is actually very nice, with a large enough area, several sizes, and especially quiet. Although it looks decayed now, as long as it is repaired casually, it can pass on the long-term ancestral heritage of future generations.

He also saw that with the development of the town, it would be a matter of pride and envy to have a yard of his own in the city in the future.

The owner of the house is a local. He doesn’t know what kind of business he is doing recently. He seems to have found out that he will build another compound on Xishuncheng Street by the lake. Hearing the request from Lao Hu for buying a house and the lobbying of Chief Zhou Bao, he has nothing to say. Said that he sold the house to Lao Hu.

In fact, when Lao Hu asked to rent a house, the landlord paid attention to him early on. After all, under the Baojia system in Xuanfu Town, if the tenant commits a crime, as the landlord, he is also responsible.

However, after Lao Hu was assessed as a swordsman and had a serious job as a bodyguard, he felt relieved, especially when he heard that Lao Hu was still an intermediate swordsman, and he was more interested in making friends with him. After all, many friends have many paths, right?
With his current wealth, a small courtyard is not in his eyes, so the two exchanged a few words, paid the money with one hand, and handed over the deed with the other. After signing the deed of the yamen under the witness of Zhou Baochang, the transaction was successful, which can be described as clean neat.

Now that he has a house, he has someone to decorate it. Lao Hu has the confidence to pay more attention to the girl's movements.

In July, Lao Hu was furious to find out that a guy with mischievous eyebrows also paid attention to this girl, and from time to time courted her at the gate of the factory building.

Is this okay?Under Lao Hu's rage, he went up with a storm of fists and kicks, hitting this handsome guy, but in Lao Hu's view, the guy with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes was full of bags, and the matter broke out.

It turned out that that guy was a small steward of the local well drilling team. How could he stop after being beaten like this?At the moment, a group of well-drilling team members are gathered to seek justice.

How can all the escort brothers see Lao Hu suffer?Dozens of voters were also pulled out, and the two sides confronted each other, and the scene was very big.

Afterwards, the two parties were suppressed by the patrol room, and each of them went to the patrol room to pay a fine. It was always wrong for Lao Hu to beat people. Under the mediation of the patrol room, he finally paid the guy a sum of medical expenses, and the matter passed like this.

Lao Hu didn't hesitate any longer, hired a matchmaker, and went to propose to the girl. In order to increase the success rate, through Zhou Baochang's introduction, he even hired a well-known military matchmaker in Xuanfu Town.

Now when the Jingbian army joins the army, they usually assign their wives. The logistics department has specially hired military matchmakers. In their books, there are a large number of good-looking, virtuous and good-looking women who run the house and serve as matchmakers for the soldiers.

Of course, the military matchmakers also do some folk business in their spare time, and they are really extraordinary when they go out, and Lao Hu soon received the good news of victory and became successful.

Old Hu's uneasy mood finally subsided.

In fact, his conditions are also here. He has a big yard, a good job with good income, and he is tall and tall. Few women are not moved by marriage proposals.

Even if the face is a bit different, it doesn't matter. In ancient times, it was about the appearance of a man and a woman. Women need to have good looks, and men only need to have talents. Therefore, Lao Hu's success was unexpected and reasonable. .

In fact, what he didn't know was that when he paid attention to that girl, why didn't that girl secretly pay attention to him?After all, women are always sensitive.

The girl has an elder sister who depends on each other. Unlike her shy character, her elder sister is quite aggressive. Back then, brandishing a kitchen knife, she brought her younger sister into Xuan Town from thousands of miles away, and worried about her. mother.

She works in a sewing factory with her younger sister, and she is also married to a tent of a nail factory. When she heard what her sister secretly told, she immediately launched an investigation.

Through the pillow wind of the door aunt, going around here and there, I also learned a lot of news about Lao Hu from the aunt's husband, and my sister was still satisfied.

He also heard that Lao Hu specially bought the house, and he nodded even more. After the turmoil, my sister believed that this kind of man was reliable, and my sister would be able to rely on him for life after marrying him.

Therefore, when the military matchmaker came over with the dowry, she readily agreed, and under her sister's decision, the girl was also willing, and it was done.

The day when Lao Hu got married was quite lively, all the colleagues from the escort agency came, and all the managers at all levels came to congratulate, plus the neighbors gathered, and the drinks were placed on the street, it was very noisy for a while.

During the wedding ceremony, looking at his wife's face, Lao Hu cried for some reason, and cried very sadly.

Seeing her husband weeping sadly, the newlywed wife just looked at him in bewilderment.

Fortunately, Lao Hu cried and cried, and did not delay the business, so he did not show his actions for the night.

The life after marriage is very good. My wife is a traditional and virtuous person. Marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. When Lao Hu told her to resign, she resigned and only did some textile embroidery at home.

Of course, once you have a family, you are no longer alone. Lao Hu has to work hard for the life of the family. His colleagues are also shocked to find that Lao Hu has changed, and he rarely goes out with them to spend time and wine. There are fewer people who pay after the banquet. Colleagues always feel that something is missing.

Gradually, Lao Hu got used to life after marriage, and became more used to life in Xuanfu Town.

Only by becoming relatives can I feel that the stability of life in this place is hard-won.

There are no thieves, bandits, or villains here. At least when you go out, you don’t have to worry about your family, and you don’t have to worry about your home being burned to the ground and your relatives being insulted and killed after you come back, right?
Lao Hu began to work hard in darts, trying to earn more money. When he was struggling for his future life, something happened in September.

The Intelligence Department is at the door.

It turned out that Zhou Baochang's other identity was a member of the intelligence department. He took a fancy to Lao Hu and thought that this person was also a material for intelligence, so he reported it to his superiors, so Lao Hu entered the intelligence department's eyeliner.

Of course, the rule of the Jingbian army is that those entrusted with important tasks must have a family, so they only paid attention to him at first, and when Lao Hu finally got married, they came to the door.

When the person came to reveal his identity, Lao Hu almost trembled. The Intelligence Department of Xuanfu Town had always been mysterious. In his understanding, it was the East Factory and West Factory of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei.

Can Lao Hu not agree to the intelligence department's request to develop him?So he became a peripheral member of the intelligence department.

Afterwards, Lao Hu was in a trance for a while. He didn't expect that his identity had changed again, and he became a spy again.

But for the time being, the intelligence department didn't entrust him with any important tasks, but just collected some information on the way of the dart, so before he knew it, Lao Hu got used to his other identity.

……

The past flooded into my heart like a tide, and the cuckoo of the old hen in his hand woke Lao Hu up, and he found that he had reached the door of his house at some point.

Old Hu coughed, pushed the door open and went in, but there was no one in the courtyard, he said loudly: "Huiniang, Huiniang."

After calling a few times, I heard a joyful voice in the side room saying: "The official is back?"

Then I saw a young woman with a slightly bulging belly came out, she was shy, beautiful, and timid. Seeing his figure, I was very happy.

But Lao Hu looked over there, frowning slightly: "Weaving again? How many times have I told you not to work hard when you have a body? Why don't you listen?"

This young woman was his wife, Sun Huiniang, she bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "It's only been a few months, it's fine."

Old Hu said: "What do you mean by not getting in the way? This is a very serious matter."

He pondered for a while: "Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, it seems that you have to hire a wife."

Sun Huiniang said in a low voice: "It's very expensive to hire a wife, and it costs money. Sometimes my sister will come to take care of me."

Old Hu said angrily: "What is a few coins? You can afford it as a man. Besides, your sister also has her own affairs, so why bother her with everything?"

Sun Huiniang was silent, she always listened to her husband, and she would do whatever he said, but only felt sorry for Yin Zi.

She has been used to suffering since she was a child, so she takes money very seriously and keeps every penny tightly.

Of course, she was also happy that her husband cared about her so much.

Lao Hu handed over the old hen and the food box in his hand, and said triumphantly, "Here you are."

Sun Huiniang gave a happy cry: "I'll cook chicken soup for the officials later."

Intentionally or unintentionally, he said: "Isn't it cheap to eat in restaurants?"

Old Hu said in a low voice: "My colleague invited me, and it doesn't cost me."

Sun Huiniang said happily: "Really?"

Old Hu said: "That's right, they know how to waste money. You can see that these vegetables have not been touched, so they brought them back."

Sun Huiniang took it with confidence, intending to heat it up and eat it with her husband.

But Lao Hu remembered that he didn't answer a word, so he patted his head and said, "What old hen should I eat? This is for you."

……

The aroma of the food and chicken soup is very strong, Lao Hu can eat a little casually, and let his wife eat the rest.

He watched cheerfully, feeling that all his hard work had paid off.

Then Sun Huiniang boiled hot water to bathe him, and made him tea. The two sat at the table. Lao Hu was drinking tea while bragging to his wife about his experience in darts. look at him.

Seeing his wife's appearance, Lao Hu boasted even more, but seeing her adoring expression and her beautiful face, he suddenly...

Just holding her in his arms and touching her belly, Lao Hu sighed regretfully.

Sun Huiniang blushed and said in a low voice, "Does the official really miss it?"

I sneaked a look at his face. I was pregnant and couldn't serve him, and I was also worried that my husband would go to the brothel to find women. Although I heard that the brothel had monthly inspections, I always felt unclean and uncomfortable.

Old Hu muttered: "I haven't done it for a while, I just thought about it, forget it, and solve it by myself."

Sun Huiniang said in a low voice: "Let the servants help the officials."

I went to the kitchen to get a bottle of vegetable oil, poured some in my hand, Lao Hu lay comfortably on the bed, closed his eyes, let his wife move, and hummed comfortably.

Finally, Lao Hu was done, panting, just lying on the bed motionless.

Seeing that her husband closed his eyes comfortably, Sun Huiniang looked at the residual oil in her hand and poured it back into the oil bottle.

……

Early the next morning, Lao Hu was sleeping comfortably on his back, when he heard someone knock on the door outside, he muttered, turned over and went back to sleep.

Then in the dimness, I heard my wife talking to someone: "Ah, it's Zhou Baochang, and Brother Kong and Brother Huang."

Old Hu's complexion changed, he lost all sleepiness, and then he heard Zhou Baochang laughing loudly: "Morning brothers and sisters, Brother Hu is there, right?"

Just listen to his wife Sun Huiniang say: "Yes, Zhou Baochang, please wait a moment, and the servants will call the officials to get up."

Lao Hu got up silently, then went out, and saw Zhou Baochang, Kong San, and Huang Weijie in the courtyard smiling at him.

"Hu Tiande, there is a task for you from above!"

When the group arrived at the backyard, Kong San said to Lao Hu expressionlessly.

He still has that strange face, and he still looks like a day laborer who goes out to do coolies.Beside him stood Huang Weijie smiling, with fair skin and tall stature, dressed like a wealthy businessman.Now the identities of the two have also changed, from the rescue team to other departments of the intelligence department.

Lao Hu felt a little bad, and asked cautiously: "What task?"

Kong San said coldly: "The thieves are becoming more and more rampant now. The intelligence department has decided to send a large number of spies to infiltrate the thieves' camp! Your task is also to go to Henan and sneak into the five core thieves' battalions. It is best to control a group of thieves. In the hands of men and horses."

"what?"

Old Hu turned pale with fright and screamed out.
