my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan pointed Hua Mulan's forehead with a look of hatred: "You, why do you listen to what Zhao Junsheng says? You resign when he asks you to resign? You are now a general. Well, how many people have broken their heads for a lifetime and can't be in this position, but you resigned as soon as you said it, it doesn't matter if you resign, what will your brother do in the future? Do you let your brother keep horses for the rest of his life? "

After listening to her mother, Hua Mulan knew what she was thinking. It turned out that her mother wanted her to help her younger brother to embark on an official career. In her mother's view, the only way out was to become an official. It's cheap.

Hua Mulan sighed: "I didn't know before I was not an official, and I thought that being an official was like a carp jumping over the dragon's gate just like you, but after I became an official, I realized that the food is not good. Not everyone can be an official! "

"Tch, you look down on your brother so much, thinking that he is not suitable for being an official? You have promoted so many people in office, why don't you think about promoting your younger brother? He is your own younger brother! He is fifteen years old this year. Now, I have reached the age of starting a family and starting a business. I am thinking about marrying him, and I will work with you after he is married. You will not be an official now, and your brother can only raise horses for the rest of his life. What is this? Cut off your brother's future!" Hua Mu became more and more angry as she spoke.

Hua Mulan was also very helpless when she saw her mother like this, so she had to say: "Let's see what my brother thinks. If he wants to take an official career, I will find a way; if he doesn't want to take an official career, then find someone else." Let's make a living!"

After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she called Hua Xiong over and asked, "Little brother, you are not too young. Mom wants you to become an official. What do you think and what are your plans?"

"Be an official?" Hua Xiong, who has a strong body, rubbed the back of his head and thought of those fat and wretched officials with their big bellies. He hated it so much, he couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, I won't be an official, I won't! Look at the villagers who hate those who are officials, I don't want to be that kind of person!"

Seeing her son's reluctance to become an official, Mother Hua sighed: "Mum's silly son, you used to be protected by your grandfather and sister, so you can grow up carefree. No one dares to bully you. Now you My sister will get married if she resigns from office. This family needs you to take the lead. Only then will you know the benefits of being an official!"

Hua Xiong clenched his fists and snorted coldly: "Hmph, whoever dares to bully me, I'll beat him until his teeth are all over the floor!"

"You child, what's the use of being brave and ruthless? This is just the courage of a man. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how good you are, can you beat hundreds or thousands of people? It's better to be an official. It can make people eat and walk around!" Huamu said earnestly.

Hua Xiong was stunned: "Mum, I can't be an official with your son, I can only be brave and ruthless. I'm not made to be an official. What do you want me to do?"

Hua Mulan saw that Huaxiong's appearance was really not suitable for an official, so she had to say to her mother: "Mother, you only know the advantages of being an official, but you don't know the disadvantages of being an official. slightly less

If you are careful, you will be framed by your colleagues, and you may be impeached if you offend the official. If you are lucky, you can escape unscathed. If you are not lucky, you will be ransacked and exterminated!Besides, as you said, if you are an official, you can make others eat and walk around by using your words. This can only bully the common people and those who are younger than your official. Is it interesting?If you meet someone who is older than you, you will only be bullied! "

"Do you think my younger brother's temperament is the material for being an official? You can't say a few words to people and you will beat them if you don't deal with them. Letting him be an official means letting him cause trouble. It's not for his own good, but will kill him!"

When Hua Mulan heard what Hua Mulan said, she also felt a little uneasy. This son has an upright temper, and he can offend people if he speaks carelessly. Offending people is the most taboo thing for an official.

Seeing that her mother was worried about gains and losses, Hua Mulan wanted her son to honor her ancestors, but also worried that her son would cause trouble, so she could only say, "I am coming back this time to take you to Youzhou. Let's take the pastures, fields and factories here. The shares were all sold, and the whole family moved to Youzhou. How about this, when I get married with brother Junsheng, let my younger brother be a soldier with brother Junsheng for a few years, learn how to run the army from his brother-in-law, and wait for him to grow up Some people arrange a job for him, and his brother-in-law and I will take care of him so that he won’t be bullied.”

Hua Xiong immediately smiled when he heard this: "I like this, so it's settled!"

Mother Hua was worried again: "Let him follow the path of the army like you? This is not possible, this is a job of pinning his head to his belt, it will kill him! No, no, no matter what, my son can't do such a dangerous job! "

"Mother, I have to say that you are old, and I came here for my daughter. Isn't what I did a life-saving business? Why didn't you see your objection at the beginning? Daring to love your daughter is a cheap life, and your son's life Is it expensive?

Chapter 562 Greeting Mother-in-Law Is a Big Event

In front of Huahu's tomb. ---- Fast update, no anti-theft ---

Hua Mulan burned the incense, burned the paper money, and kowtowed respectfully.

"Grandfather, my daughter is going to marry Brother Junsheng. Didn't you always look forward to this? Are you happy now? I will tell you in front of your spirit seat when we get married. You must bless me." Brother He Junsheng, bless our whole family to be safe..."

"Grandpa, our family will be moving to Youzhou in a few days. I have entrusted General Gao to sell all the properties here, leaving only one house. I will come back to see you when my daughter and younger brother are free. We also have a place to live, I have asked General Gao to visit you during the holidays..."

Then Huamu and younger brother Huaxiong also came forward to burn incense one by one.

Accompanying Gao Xiu and a group of generals and school officials also bowed a few times.

On the way back to the city, Hua Mulan rode on a horse and asked Gao Xiu: "General Gao, I have been busy with family affairs these days, and I haven't had time to chat with you guys. What's going on with the Rouran people? Are there frequent invasions?" ?”

Gao Xiu said: "The people from Rouran rarely harass us in Wuchuan Town, they mainly target Woye Town and Huaishuo Town. I heard that this has happened twice in the past three months. They are smart, they don’t attack cities, they only plunder. They act very fast and rob the herdsmen before they have time to drive their livestock into the city. The soldiers stationed in Huaishuo Town and Woye Town got the news It's already a few days later, and I can't catch up even if I try to catch up."

Hua Mulan asked: "Wuchuan Town is the largest trade distribution center in northern Xinjiang, with the largest population, the most abundant supplies, and the largest trading volume. Why don't Rouran people make an idea here?"

Gao Xiu sighed and said: "Speaking of which, I still have the honor of the general. When the general was appointed as the town general of Wuchuan, although he didn't serve for a long time, he did a few practical things: first, he only built the city. This city is bigger than Huaishuo and Woye, the city wall is more than twice as tall and thick as Huaishuo and Woye Town, and there is a wide moat, it is impossible for the Rouran people to attack without killing tens of thousands of people!"

"The second is the border post and beacon tower built. As long as the Rouran People's Brigade shows up, the beacon tower can immediately light up to warn, and the fortress can immediately send troops!"

"The third is to strengthen and repair the Great Wall, which is more than a hundred miles long. The general has been in office for two years. Every winter, he organizes soldiers and civilians to reinforce the Great Wall and repair the damaged parts, so that Rouran people cannot cross the Great Wall. Sneak attack and looting, the last general continued the tradition of the general after he took over, these few years are considered diligent, and there is no opportunity for Rouran people to take advantage of!"

"Fourth, it is to fight for the expansion of Wuchuan Town's military strength. Of the 5000 garrisons, [-] are stationed in the three outer forts, and the remaining [-] are stationed in the city. There are also [-] elite cavalry to deal with emergencies at any time. !"

Hua Mulan nodded after listening to Gao Xiu's words, and asked, "Has Wuchuan Town's fiscal and taxation surplus in recent years?"

Gao Xiudao: "Wuchuan Town has always been self-sufficient, with a fiscal surplus every year!"

Hua Mulan was silent for a while, and said to Gao Xiu: "General Gao, the current situation in the court is in turmoil. I believe that the court will not have the energy to manage the frontier affairs for a long time. Troops have been sent over for reinforcements! I suggest you plan ahead. By the way, how many spare troops did Brother Junsheng leave for you?"

Gao Xiu replied: "There are 3000 people left, and they are currently scattered among the caravans and various factories!"

"I suggest that you recruit a few thousand more people. Don't count them into the official establishment. You only need to practice combat skills and tactics first, as a reserve to supplement the soldiers. Once something happens, these soldiers and horses can be used immediately. In addition, those scattered in caravans and factories The personnel in the center should take time to organize them to practice. Although they have been on the battlefield, they have not practiced for many years.

right?Can they still risk their lives to fight the enemy?Still have that guts? "

Hua Mulan's words gave Gao Xiu a sense of urgency, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is the court already in this mess?"

"It's more serious than you think!"

Gao Xiu knew that Hua Mulan didn't need to coax him. The reason why she said this must be that the situation had become uncontrollable. After he decided to send Hua Mulan's family away, he immediately ordered the recruitment of [-] recruits. It is not easy to recruit [-] new recruits for the population, but there is no time limit.

Two days later, Hua Mulan's family set off from Wuchuan Town to the east. For their safety, Gao Xiu specially sent [-] cavalry to escort them along the Great Wall, and a general led the troops.

The Outer Great Wall has been built since the eighth year of Taichang, and it is more than two thousand miles long. Hua Mulan's family and his soldiers arrived at Juyongguan after ten days of walking under the escort of three hundred Wuchuan cavalry.

Zhao Junsheng is actually very busy, but no matter how busy he is, he still has to find time to meet his mother-in-law. Since the old man Huahua died, this old lady is not very easy to serve. Fortunately, other people's mothers-in-law always like their son-in-law more and more, but they can't come to him, but they are disliked by the mother-in-law.

When Hua Mulan and his party arrived in Yuyang County, the Yuyang County government sent people to Jixian County in advance to inform that Zhao Junsheng got up early that day and cleaned himself up, so as not to let his mother-in-law feel that he was doing nothing. Because of his official prestige, he specially chose a slightly old-fashioned nobleman's attire, and wore an expensive fur cloak outside.

Zhao Junsheng hadn't worn it like this for several years, and it seemed a little unnatural to wear it suddenly, but he got used to it quickly, but he stood at the gate of the city with a few servants and soldiers, and it turned out to be a beautiful dress. In the scenery, some nympho women stood at the gate of the city and pointed at him.

Greeting the mother-in-law is a big event, so Zhao Junsheng had to be cautious. Originally, he wanted to make the scene a little bigger. He wanted to recruit officials from Ji County's governor's mansion, prefect's mansion, and county government to fill up the number of people, so as to show that he valued the mother-in-law's arrival. But this would cause criticism, so I just thought about it and didn't send anyone to notify.

"Li Bao, you sent someone to look ahead, why haven't they arrived yet?" Zhao Junsheng seemed a little anxious after waiting for an hour.

"Okay, General!" Li Bao agreed, and immediately sent a personal soldier to ride to the front to check.

At this time, a large number of officials came out from the city, some on horseback, some in carts, and these people quickly walked over to the side of the road to clear the passage of the city gate.

"General, why don't you ask the lower officials to wait for you to welcome your mother-in-law?" Pei Jin and Dongfang Chen came over with a large number of officials and said with a smile, bowing their hands together.

Among them are more than a dozen officials from the governor's mansion, Li Yuande, the prefect of Yan County, officials from the prefect's mansion, and even officials from the Jixian county government. There were two to three hundred people, and the roadsides on both sides of the city gate were crowded.

Zhao Junsheng looked back and asked in surprise: "Why are you here? This general also ordered the news to be blocked. How did you know?"

"Hahaha, the general looks down on his subordinates and others too much. If he can't even guess this, how can he give advice to the general?" Dongfang Chen said with a big laugh.

Zhao Junsheng said rather helplessly: "The reason why I didn't inform you is because I didn't want to bother you."

"The general didn't tell the subordinates and others because it was for the sake of the subordinates and others, but since the subordinates had guessed it, they had to come!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Forget it, come as soon as you come, but I can tell you, my mother-in-law and fiancée's siblings don't know when they will arrive. If you stay here, I'm afraid you will be blown away." There's a northwest wind for a while, it's no joke to be infected with wind and cold!"

Among the officials, there is no lack of flatterers, all of them speak better than they sing, but some of them are good at shooting horses, while others are bad at shooting horses.

Hua Mulan and his party did not let Zhao Junsheng and others stay with them for too long. It took Zhao Junsheng and others to continue blowing the cold wind for about an hour before appearing in everyone's sight.
