Village Chief Han ignored Han Dahu, took a puff of his cigarette, and asked his youngest son, Han Dahai, "Fourth brother, did you hear what those soldiers called the leading young general?"

The fourth child, Han Dahai, had been listening attentively to his parents' conversation since he followed Village Chief Han into the house. Suddenly, when Village Chief Han asked him about it, he quickly responded, "I heard Dad. The soldiers are calling the leading general."

The fourth son, Han Dahai, had always wanted to join the army in the northern military camp. He was very envious when he saw so many soldiers riding tall horses to his house.

His father never agreed to let him join the army. One time, he secretly ran to the northern barracks and asked if he could join the army without his parents' consent.

Later, he was taken back to Hanjia Village by the soldiers and beaten by his father with a stick. Only then did he give up the idea of ​​secretly joining the army.

Han Dahai looked at Village Chief Han in confusion: He couldn't understand what the connection was between those soldiers being called Major Generals and Hanjia Village being handed over to Xu Miao.

Not only Han Dahai couldn't figure it out, but Aunt Han and her three sons couldn't figure it out either. Several of them stared at Village Chief Han, waiting for him to continue.

"Hasn't Fourth Brother always wanted to join the army? Joining the army isn't as easy as you think. If you don't have anyone to protect you in the barracks, you'll be cannon fodder on the battlefield and die without even knowing how."

"Do you think military merit is so easy to achieve? Just fight your best? There are many who fight harder than you."

"If there's a major general in the military camp who's from the same village as you, what can you do in the military camp?"

Han Dahai's eyes suddenly lit up: He understood that it was easier to be an official if one had someone in the court.

Aunt Han and her three sons all widened their eyes upon hearing this. Aunt Han shrieked in a thin voice, "Grandpa, you're so capable!"

Village chief Han continued to criticize the mother and her five children.

"Why am I always looking forward to someone coming from the capital? If we can get in touch with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the capital, when you have grandchildren in the future, if there is a scholar among your grandchildren, we can send him to the capital to study."

Speaking of studying, Village Chief Han got angry and pointed at his four sons, scolding them: "You are a bunch of idiots. You can't even write your own name."

"And you!" Village chief Han was so angry that he pointed at Aunt Han and cursed.

"I took that good book and used it as firewood. I wish I could chop you into pieces. You know how valuable that book is. I gritted my teeth and spent a tael of silver to buy it!"

"That's one tael of silver! It can buy two mu of land, but you're using it to heat your kang. You're the queen, sleeping on a golden kang!"

Aunt Han nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Grandpa, I was wrong. Don't be angry, go on."

After saying that, Aunt Han swiftly brought a bowl of hot water to Village Chief Han.

"Over the years, I have been spending money to buy land, just to occupy more territory in the Northern Frontier, hoping to attract the attention of the Duke Dingguo Mansion in the capital."

"When someone from our family comes to the capital in the future, the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion will look after our family for the sake of our vast territory."

"And that Xu Miao."

Speaking of Xu Miao, Village Chief Han lowered his brows and said in a serious tone, "This Xu Miao must have a close relationship with the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion. If she wasn't someone the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion valued, why would they give her that token?"

"With Xu Miao, we can contact the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Not only can we contact the wealthy families in the capital, I think we can also contact the military camp in the north."

"Do you know who that major general is?"

Aunt Han and her four sons stared and shook their heads.

They really didn't know that although Hanjia Village was quite close to the military camp in the north, they had never inquired about the military camp, and the key point was that they couldn't find out anything even if they asked.

Village Chief Han looked at the bewildered mother and her two children and continued, "There are two major generals in the northern military camp. One is surnamed Zhou and the other is surnamed He."

"I think this major general who came to our village is young. He should be the major general surnamed Zhou."

"These two young generals are the treasures of General Liu of the Northern Frontier. They are the main ones leading the troops in battle. General Liu is guarding Dingzhou City."

After listening to what Village Chief Han said, the mother and her two children suddenly realized that the young general who came to their village was so powerful.

No wonder he speaks in such a harsh tone and seems to want to whip people with a whip for no reason.

Aunt Han came to her senses and began to ask Village Chief Han again: "Grandpa, what is the relationship between Xu Miao and this young general? It doesn't look like they are going to get married."

"If you want to marry the Major General, can you live in Hanjia Village, where even rabbits don't shit?"

"But they seem quite close. Could it be that this major general has a little widow in our village?"

The more Aunt Han thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that Xu Miao is not a good person either, otherwise why would he run all the way from the capital to Hanjia Village in the northern border.

When Village Chief Han saw his wife's gossipy expression, he knew that Aunt Han must be full of thieves and prostitutes and had no good intentions.

She was so angry that she pointed at Aunt Han and cursed, "You damn old woman, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of Xu Miao and ruin my good deeds, I will really let Xu Miao sell you out."

Aunt Han quickly said with a smile on her face: "Uncle, you don't dare. Go ask that girl if she dares to enter our house?"

"Who wouldn't tremble at the sight of these four sons I gave birth to? If you want to be my son's stepmother, you have to wait for my consent!"

After Aunt Han finished speaking, she looked at her four strong sons with a smile. They were all her biological sons and her greatest hopes for the rest of her life.

Village Chief Han made Aunt Han furious. She pointed at the mother and her two children sitting under the kang and shouted, "I'm telling you, if you want to live a good life in the future, don't mess with Xu Miao."

"She is our family's greatest hope. We must keep her in Hanjia Village. With her around, many things can be accomplished."

"If you offend her, I wonder where you'll go crying."

Aunt Han rolled her eyes and glared at Village Chief Han, who was sitting on the kang. "Tomorrow I'll find a temple and offer Xu Miao as a sacrifice. I'll burn some incense for her and chant some prayers for her."

Although Aunt Han said this, she also heard the importance of Xu Miao. If not for others, then for the sake of the little grandson in her eldest son's arms, she couldn't offend Xu Miao.

This little grandson is her lifeblood. Since he was born, Aunt Han has spoiled him like the apple of her eye. He is absolutely the apple of her eye.

She is willing to risk her life for her grandson, so it is much easier for her to please Xu Miao than to lose her life.

After the four sons returned to their own rooms with their own thoughts, Aunt Han followed her eldest son Han Dajiang out to help take care of her grandson.

Village chief Han sat alone on the kang, picked up his pipe and started puffing.

He really couldn't help but think and make plans.

If he is alone in the northern border, then let him go.

When he spent ten taels of silver to buy Hanjia Village, he wanted to have a place of his own in the northern border.

But later, when his eldest son was born, he had to start planning.

He wrote a letter to the old Duke, telling him that he had built a village in the northern border, and also told him about the deed.

Over the years, he has been waiting for the right opportunity to send these children out safely.

Finally, someone from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the capital came, but I didn't expect that the person who came was a little girl like Xu Miao.

Village chief Han did not dare to underestimate Xu Miao. Xu Miao's calmness was something that not everyone could possess.

This Xu Miao must have a story, and he is definitely a smart person.

Han Zhongcheng likes to deal with smart people. Smart people know how to understand the times and exchange interests. He has the time and money to exchange for what he wants.

Today is definitely a good day!
