Shao Hua's face looked ugly.
Although he is a fourth-grade captain and is in charge of a large number of small soldiers, there are many people with higher official positions than him among the garrison in the capital.
The top leader of the garrison is the second-grade hussars general, as well as the third-grade mid-level commander, and some fourth-grade captains... After he was demoted to the fourth grade, some fifth- and sixth-grade military attachés could step on him, but he never paid attention to him. , because as long as they meet, they will definitely fight. Fighting in the military camp is against discipline, and the general will definitely seize this excuse and demote him one level.
It's not that he is greedy for power, but after being demoted, there are fewer people to assign, and it becomes more difficult to clear up the grievances of the general.
He glanced at Ye Lingbo and said quietly: "Master Ye is here to discuss matters with the general. I will take Master Ye in."
"Oh, Captain Shao, do you want to expose this matter?" Ye Lingbo said reluctantly, "Although no one in my Ye family is a high official in the imperial court, everyone in the Ye family is loyal to the imperial court and to the Holy One. You despise me, It's just contempt for the Holy Emperor. If I report this matter to the court, Captain Shao will probably shed his skin, right?"
"you!"
Shao Hua's face was filled with anger.
"I'm only a sixth-grade person, but I don't dare to be disrespectful to Captain Shao." Ye Lingbo chuckled, "Captain Shao apologizes and I just pretend that this never happened. How about that?"
"Too much bullying!" Zhao Sanniu couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward angrily, "Captain Shao is a fourth-grade officer. Even if he has an opinion against you, you have to hold it in. What's more, the captain didn't pay attention at all. Someone is coming over there, you are deliberately looking for trouble..."
"Where's the barking dog coming from?" Ye Lingbo took out his ears, suddenly pulled out a whip from his waist, and whipped it hard, "A nobody who dares to challenge me is seeking death!"
Shao Hua stepped forward and grabbed the long whip that was swung down.
He said word by word: "Master Ye is a civil servant of the Ministry of War, and the military camp is a military attache's position. Even if this little soldier commits a heinous crime, it is not Master Ye's turn to teach him a lesson, right?"
Ye Lingbo's eyes narrowed.
The air was filled with invisible gunpowder smoke, and many soldiers nearby did not dare to come out.
"What are you making!"
A majestic voice came. It was the hussar general who was the leader of the garrison. Everyone present clasped their fists and saluted.
Zhao Sanniu opened his mouth to complain, but Shao Hua held him back. He was an old member of "Collaborator and Treason He Xiao". His identity was too sensitive, and he could no longer let Zhao Sanniu become the target of public criticism.
"It's just a misunderstanding." Ye Lingbo put away the whip, "Lieutenant Shao seems to have some opinions on Xiaguan, but he should have opinions. Xiaguan has been the head of the Ministry of War for four or five years and has not made any achievements. It is normal for some people to dislike him."
General Hussar glanced at Shao Hua and said quietly: "I have never seen your achievements as a fourth-grade captain, so how can I have the confidence to have opinions against others?"
Shao Hua lowered his head: "Yes, the general will finally realize his mistake."
Ye Lingbo glanced at Shao Hua proudly and changed the subject very knowingly: "Master Shangshu ordered me to bring some news from the border. General, let's go in and talk."
The two figures disappeared from the door, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Sanniu looked unwilling: "Captain, Lord Ye is too arrogant, and the general, why are you protecting Lord Ye? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lord Ye is deliberately looking for trouble..."
"Since anyone with a discerning eye can see it, then tell me, why does the general pretend to know nothing?" Shao Hua sighed slightly, "When you meet people from the Ye family in the future, stay away and don't rush to get close to them."
After he finished speaking, he entered the camp with a somewhat forlorn figure.
Zhang Jinbao, who was guarding the entrance of the military camp, pulled Zhao Sanniu aside and whispered: "You have been here for more than half a year, and you still don't know the identity of Lord Ye. There is a deputy captain Ye in our army who is Lord Ye's cousin." Brother, he was promoted a year ago... Mr. Ye's biological father was also promoted to the fourth rank a year ago, and there are some side branches who also sought some seventh and eighth rank official positions a year ago. Why? Because the Ye family is from I have a beloved concubine. The concubine Yun in the palace is Mr. Ye’s biological sister. She gave birth to the prince a year ago and was directly promoted from Chang Zai to concubine. She was promoted to three or four levels in a row. Tsk tsk. This Ye family member is able to ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs. , It’s incredible…”
Zhao Sanniu clenched his fists.
Cheng Wanwan didn't know anything about what happened in the army.
She came to the capital for two things, first to attend the wedding, and second to visit Sanniu. Now that the things were done, it was time to go back.
She is scheduled to set off tomorrow morning. She will spend this afternoon shopping, buy some specialties from the capital, and bring back some gifts for so many people at home. The most important thing is that there are many rare items in the capital. She can buy a lot of them and bring them back in the future. Hecun could bring out whatever he wanted and just say he bought it in the capital, and no one would suspect anything.
Cheng Wanwan took Cheng Jia and Wei Xiaohai on the street, and these two people were naturally responsible for carrying things.
She went to a bookstore. The bookstore in Beijing is seven or eight times the largest bookstore in Huzhou. There are many books that are not available in Huzhou, as well as many local guides and introductions to foreign scenery. Buying these books will allow the children in Dahe Village to see the world. , let them know that this world is not only Dahe Village, not only Huzhou, but also many further countries. If you want to see the distant world, you must work hard to become excellent and strong.
In addition, she also bought books for the children of the old Zhao family. Zhao Dawang likes to do business, so he bought a business journal. Wang Damai Xiahua likes embroidery and bought some Beijing-style design patterns. Cao Yingying likes it. Design, I bought pictures of beauties in the capital, not to look at the beauties, but to look at the clothes on the beauties. Wu Huiniang and Chunhua loved cooking, so they bought many cookbooks. Donghua specifically said that she wanted recipes for special snacks in the capital, and Cheng Wanwan naturally also Bought a bunch of...
When buying books, she also secretly bought some traditional Chinese books in the mall and mixed them in...
Just for books, I bought five or six large trunks, a lot of cloth and clothes, and some durable snacks...
It would be great if I could get some secret beauty recipes, but unfortunately the best ones are in the hands of the concubine in the palace, and she, a sixth-grade Anren, can’t reach them for the time being...
Cheng Wanwan wandered around for two hours before he felt tired and got on the carriage to go back.
As soon as the car entered the alley, Mrs. Qi came out in a hurry: "An Ren is back, Mr. Zhang has been waiting for a long time..."
"Why are Master Zhang here?" Cheng Wanwan opened the curtain and came down, "It's almost dark now, I'm afraid there's something urgent."
She walked in and saw a pile of letters and a pile of books in Master Zhang's yard beside the stone table...
Her scalp suddenly became numb. She must have been asked to translate the letter again.
"People from Sui'an." Master Zhang stood up, "I came here this time to confirm the translation of Assab's letter with people from Sui'an in person."
Cheng Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there something wrong with the translation?"
Mr. Zhang shook his head: "In the last paragraph of each letter, there is a discrepancy between Sui'an's translation and Lao Chan's original translation. If Sui'an's translation is correct, then Lao Chan may have made a big mistake over the years..."
