Surrounded by his family, Qin Feng returned to his house.
Lin Quqi is taking care of the restaurant, so he doesn't need to worry about it for a short time.
After a day of hard work, Qin Feng was also a little exhausted physically and mentally. He was about to take a good rest when he saw a black figure sitting in the corner of the bedroom, which scared Qin Feng.
"What the hell, what a ghost!"
The next second, Xiao Xiangxiang lowered her head and walked out with her clothes twisted. She seemed to have been greatly wronged. There were tears in her eyes. She must have cried before.
"It's my little Xiangxiang, you scared me... Hey, wait!" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, pulled Xiao Xiangxiang to his side, and said angrily, "Who bullied you? Even me, Qin Feng He dares to bully anyone, how can he not be punished? Tell him who it is, I will beat him until his teeth are all over the floor."
Xiao Xiangxiang bit her thin lips lightly and whispered: "No one bullies this slave... I just feel that I am too useless and can't help the young master. I feel that I am superfluous."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately understood.
Qin Feng has been busy these days, but Xiao Xiangxiang has been left out in the cold. This girl is obviously jealous.
This is the rhythm of competing for favor...
Qin Feng chuckled and patted Xiao Xiangxiang's hand: "Who said you are redundant? You are very important to me."
Xiao Xiangxiang's eyes lit up slightly: "Really?"
Qin Feng patted his chest and said seriously: "That's necessary! Who will help me on weekdays? Who will warm my bed in winter? Who will fan me in summer? Who will do my laundry in autumn? Who will do my laundry in spring? Is this young master cooking wine? In the entire Qin Mansion...the backyard...the bedroom area, no one is missing, and you cannot be missing."
Xiao Xiangxiang's eyes flashed with embarrassment: "The young master will talk nonsense to the slave. There is no one else in the bedroom except the slave. Besides, any maid can do these trivial things very well. The slave is good at everything." I can't help the young master, just like today's incident at the restaurant..."
"Who said we can't help?"
Qin Feng hugged Xiao Xiangxiang and took the opportunity to touch her fiercely: "Where are you thinking! You are a maid now, so you will naturally do these tasks. In the future, I will accept you as my maid. Concubine, it’s naturally not your turn to do these menial and tiring tasks.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiangxiang's cheeks instantly turned red and blood dripped. She quickly lowered her head and became even more shy than before. Although she was cheering in her heart, she muttered in a low voice: "My slave has a low status. How can I fill the house for the young master..."
Qin Feng waved his hand: "I said you are qualified, then you are qualified!"
Of course, as Qin Feng knew, not everyone could accept a concubine. Only those who had a good reputation or had a certain prestige in the local area had to be approved by the official uniform to obtain a concubine quota.
If ordinary people dare to take concubines privately, they are being unfaithful to their "ladies" and are looking for death.
Not all feudal societies had low status for women.
Now that Qin Feng has won the gold belt, he is also qualified to take concubines. If he wants to have three wives and four concubines, he must have some military exploits or something.
As for the concubine, she is equivalent to a higher-level maid, and is far from comparable to the main wife.
However, for Xiao Xiangxiang, being able to become a concubine was already a luxury, and she had to wait until Qin Feng officially married the first wife before she could fill the house and take a concubine - there is no reason for a concubine to marry before the wife.
Xiao Xiangxiang blushed with embarrassment, and the resentment in her heart had disappeared. While letting Qin Feng do whatever he wanted on her, she whispered: "Master, what happened in the restaurant today was really scary. Even the people from the City Patrol Department went there Well, I thought the young master was in danger, and wished I could spread my wings and fly over."
Hearing this, Qin Feng felt warm in his heart. Then he thought of something and slapped his thigh: "Look at my brain!"
Qin Feng put down Xiao Xiangxiang and ran out.
Xiao Xiangxiang followed closely and asked doubtfully: "Master, it's so late, where are you going?"
Qin Feng kept walking and waved his hand: "Go to the City Patrol Department. You don't have to wait for me. Qin Xiaofu, where did you die? Go out on business with me quickly, and then ask Shufeng to accompany you."
Tomorrow is the dressing ceremony. Although I have already said hello to Xu Mo, the number of places for the expedition is limited after all, and the competition will be fierce.
At this time, Xu Mo was walking around the City Patrol Department with his hands behind his back. Not to mention how irritated he was, he muttered: "I don't know if Qin Feng is coming or not. What time is it now? Tomorrow will be the cleaning ceremony and the duel." Guan, we can fight hard, but how to deal with military strategy and response to Guan? Hey... But a lot of things happened in Wuhu Restaurant today. Qin Feng is exhausted, so it's time to rest..."
Just when Xu Mo was extremely entangled, his subordinate reported it and Qin Feng asked for a meeting.
The clouds on Xu Mo's face were swept away, and he walked out with three steps and two steps at a time: "Brother Qin, you are finally here!"
Qin Feng smiled carelessly, exchanged a few simple greetings, and asked Xu Mo to bring all the guards he had summoned in advance.
Three hundred people in total.
Two hundred city patrol guards and one hundred elite soldiers selected from the Ministry of War.
These people are all good players. They are lined up neatly. They are all in high spirits and looking at Qin Feng with bright eyes.
Qin Feng was very satisfied. He walked back and forth twice with his hands behind his back and asked casually: "Are there any officials or officials present?"
As soon as he finished speaking, two people stood up.
"As for Mr. Qin, I am the son of the mighty captain, Qin Li."
"I am Zhang Lin, the son of the deputy general of the Forbidden Army."
Qin Feng nodded, with a spring-like smile on his face, and said in a harmonious voice: "It's getting late, you two should go back and rest first, so you don't have to participate in tonight's training camp."
The two of them were startled for a moment, then their faces flushed, they saluted Qin Feng, then held their heads high and left with great pride.
Xu Mo frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Brother Qin, why is this? Although these two are the sons of officials, they don't need such preferential treatment, right?"
Qin Feng clasped his hands behind his back and grinned: "Preferential treatment? Special treatment! These days, the officials' children are all ancestors. They are very difficult to serve. They will only bring all kinds of evil spirits to the army. Look, if you let them go, They really left without any intention of staying. Who would be a normal soldier like this? You can just find an excuse to stop these two people, and then find two more people to fill the vacancies. Don't ask for officials' children. .”
Times have changed, and the quality of officials' children also varies.
In the past, the more famous a family was, the more they had to charge into battle and gain fame for the family.
Nowadays, Daliang is internally decayed, with constant feuding, and the children in the capital have no ambition to make progress. How can they compare with those famous generals?
Originally, the guards were quite prejudiced against Qin Feng's decision, but they just didn't dare to say it. But after listening to Qin Feng's words, their eyes suddenly became hot when they looked at Qin Feng.
The principle of officials protecting each other is completely bullshit with Qin Feng.
They are definitely lucky to be able to work with people like Qin Feng... Thinking of this, everyone suddenly became more motivated.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Feng sat directly on the chair with his legs crossed. He did not have the demeanor of a general, but looked like a hooligan.
Qin Feng didn't care about so many things and how to feel comfortable. He leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile: "You all are from grassroots backgrounds. To be able to get an errand in the City Patrol Department, you must have either gone through the back door or relied on connections to be able to do it." Those selected based on their own strength are probably very rare.
“There’s no shame in wanting to move up.
"But I still want to say something ugly in front of me. If anyone dares to be lazy with me, let alone tomorrow's cleansing ceremony, even this city patrol officer, I will masturbate for you!"
Qin Feng chewed grapes, stared at everyone with water, and said with a smile: "If anyone is not convinced, just stand up."
Seeing Qin Feng pulling him like this, all the guards held their heads high and just listened to the instructions, but no one responded.
Qin Feng stretched himself hard, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "It's getting late, and I won't be nagging you. You three hundred people will be Xu Mo's team from now on. Work hard and save money." Calculating salary alone, you are indispensable. If you can achieve military exploits, you will have a chance to get ahead! I don’t care about connections. I, Qin Feng, always employ people on their merits. Those who have the ability will stay, and those who have no ability will leave!"
The guards have long heard about Qin Feng's various behaviors in Kyoto. Although his reputation is highly polarized, there is no doubt that one thing is that by following Qin Feng, even a small servant can become fat.
Just like Qin Xiaofu with a flattering smile next to Qin Feng.
The guards clenched their fists, their eyes became more and more excited, and they said in unison: "Please rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
Having said all that needs to be said, let’s get to the point.
Qin Feng reached out and pointed at a guard casually: "You, kneel down."
The guard was stunned for a moment. Although he was confused, he slowly knelt down.
Qin Feng was unhappy and said angrily: "Slow down! Get up."
The guard learned the lesson this time and stood up immediately after hearing Qin Feng's order.
Everyone didn't know what kind of medicine Qin Feng's gourd was selling, and their eyes were full of confusion.
Qin Feng didn't explain, and pointed to another guard: "Lie on the ground and roll around."
The guard was stunned.
Qin Feng sighed as he hated the iron, and said angrily: "Qin Xiaofu, get out of here."
Almost the moment Qin Feng gave the order, Qin Xiaofu was already lying on the ground, rolling back and forth several times.
"stand up."
Qin Xiaofu jumped up as if he was electrocuted.
"Grab your right foot with your left hand, grab your ear with your right hand, and jump on the spot."
The next moment, Qin Xiaofu was jumping up and down on the spot according to Qin Feng's instructions, with almost no delay.
"alright."
Qin Xiaofu instantly returned to his original state.
This scene made all the guards, including Xu Mo, stunned.
Qin Feng ignored everyone's reactions, looked at Qin Xiaofu with great satisfaction, and asked: "Why do I let you do these crazy things?"
Qin Xiaofu shook his head and said blankly: "I don't know..."
Qin Feng asked again: "Then why do you do it?"
Qin Xiaofu's eyes suddenly became serious: "No matter what the young master asks me to do, I will do it. As for the reason, it is not my concern."
Damn it, I realized that I must get a raise when I go back!
Qin Feng turned to look at the confused guards: "You just need to remember, obey, obey, obey! No matter what you are asked to do, just do it immediately. As for the reason, it is not your need to consider. Obey orders, yes The bounden duty of a soldier, if you don’t even have this quality, you should just go home and farm the fields!”
Everyone woke up from a dream and couldn't help but blush, even though they had already understood that soldiers need to obey as early as when they joined the army.
But this kind of lazy obedience is completely different from the lightning-quick obedience required by Qin Feng.
This seemingly well-mannered man is actually more strict than a general and a captain.
Everyone did not dare to be lazy anymore and concentrated their attention.
Qin Feng turned around and shouted at Xu Mo: "Brother Xu, you only have one night. You have to let them know what orders and prohibitions are! You have to let them have a conditioned reflex. The moment they give an order, they must execute it immediately without any hesitation! "
Xu Mo was surprised and excited at the same time. What was surprising was that Qin Feng, a mere scholar, actually knew so much about the military affairs. What was exciting was that with Qin Feng's help, tomorrow's cleansing ceremony was already a certainty.
Xu Mo patted his chest and said in a sonorous voice: "Don't worry, I will train them to death."
Qin Feng picked up the grapes and threw them into the air, drawing an arc and falling steadily into his mouth. With this hand alone, he didn't know how long it would take him to practice.
While Qin Feng was chewing grapes happily, he said vaguely: "Don't be so exaggerated. You should rest when you should and recharge your batteries. A fierce battle is waiting for them tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng asked Qin Xiaofu to get a pen and paper, wrote something casually, and handed it to Xu Mo: "This is the equipment that will be used tomorrow. Send someone to prepare it."
Xu Mo glanced at it and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Everything else is easy to say, but this heavy armor... is strictly controlled by the Ministry of War. Anyone who misappropriates heavy armor without authorization will be punished for treason."
Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Are you stupid? You don't dare to say it when you are far away. I will definitely be able to speak at the Ministry of War."
Xu Mo patted his head, wondering how he had forgotten this, and quickly agreed.
Before leaving, Qin Feng thought of something again and quickly drew some small flags on the paper and handed them to Xu Mo: "Recite these flags and they will be needed tomorrow."
"Flag language?" Xu Mo frowned slightly. Although Daliang also had methods of transmitting orders, they were mostly by beacons and kites. If it was a small-scale battle, they would usually use war drums.
This is the first time I have heard of using the flag law.
Qin Feng didn't bother to explain, he just let Xu Mo memorize it, and then left without looking back.
Not to mention beacons and kites, they can only be used when large corps are fighting. Although war drums are quick to give orders, the battlefield is noisy, and the drumbeats need to be distinguished, so the accuracy of the orders is actually not high. ,
This flag language command is the most direct, and it is the method with the lowest command delay that can be thought of now. However, it is only suitable for small-scale operations. It is just appropriate to use it for tomorrow's cleansing ceremony.
When Qin Feng returned to his house, it was almost midnight, and Xiao Xiangxiang was still waiting for him. Qin Feng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and he approached Xiao Xiangxiang step by step with a cunning smile on his face.
In the end, just like the big bad wolf meeting the little white rabbit, he pounced on it...
…
The next morning, the City Patrol Division was bustling with activity.
Outside the venue, there were overcrowded people. After hearing the news, countless people came to participate in the clothes-purification ceremony. Although they could not enter the venue, every time the clothes-purification ceremony was held, there was a dedicated person who quickly "broadcasted" the internal situation.
Especially in the first level of the match, deductions will even be conducted on the vertical sand table.
For the people of Kyoto who have so much leisure all day long, the Clothes Purification Ceremony is a rare event.
Moreover, Emperor Liang paid great attention to having fun with the people. In addition, the Clothing Ceremony was a pre-war swearing-in ceremony. To promote the prestige of the Liang Dynasty, it naturally required the support of the people. Therefore, the Clothing Ceremony was one of the few official events that allowed the people to join in the fun.
Outside the venue, it was like a market and temple fair, bustling with activity.
Especially near the sand table, there are the most people eating melons.
Liu Hongyan occupied a good position and came with her whole family to cheer for Qin Feng. Even Jing Qianying, who had always been aloof, and Shen Qingci, who was too elegant and had no interest in fighting and killing, were also present. .
Qin Xiaofu raised 250,000 to 80,000 yuan and boasted to the servants in other mansions: "You can't do it. A servant is a servant. How can you be confused with me? I am the young master's confidant. Hey hey hey, how much is your monthly salary? Five hundred wen?" One tael of silver? That’s the amount I have!”
Qin Xiaofu held out five fingers, and the envious servants' eyes gleamed, and they all asked Qin Xiaofu for connections, hoping to join the Qin family.
Xiao Xiangxiang stayed in the distance, not daring to step forward.
Liu Hongyan's heart moved slightly, and she called out casually: "Girl, if you come here and get closer, how can you see the sand table deduction clearly if you are far away? You are Qin Feng's heartthrob. If I treat you badly, that damn boy will toss and cry out again." "
Xiao Xiangxiang's cheeks turned red, and she came to Liu Hongyan's side coquettishly, and said with a guilty conscience: "It's okay to look at me from a distance, my slave."
Liu Hongyan smiled and said nothing. Who in the entire Qin family didn't know about the relationship between Xiao Xiangxiang and that brat Qin Feng? It has long been rumored that Xiao Xiangxiang has already decided on a "concubine".
At this moment, a strange sound came from not far away.
"Haha, the maid can also keep up with the young lady? The Qin family is as rude as ever."
Liu Hongyan frowned slightly, looking for a reputation, but she saw a woman sitting in a pavilion opposite. She was similar in age to Liu Hongyan, but she was extremely arrogant.
The circle of famous ladies in Beijing was not large, so Liu Hongyan naturally recognized her at a glance. This girl was Gao Yulan, Gao Taiwei's niece and Gao Song's cousin.
There was also a woman sitting together, she was the adopted daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs, Li Ninghui...
