Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 103
This saves a lot of effort.

"In that case, I will trouble City Lord Yuan."

Yan Qing said sincerely, "Qing, on behalf of the people affected by the disaster in Yuhuai, thank the city lord for his kindness."

You know, even though the imperial court informed them first, they can organize the collection of relief supplies in such a quick and orderly manner, greatly shortening their stay in Jicheng, and allowing them to rush to Yuhuai earlier to save the rescued children. more people.

For the disaster-stricken people in the Zhanghuai area, this is tantamount to saving lives.

Hearing Yan Qing's sincere compliment, Yuan Mouren, who had just been put on a cold face, also felt relieved: "Where, where! This is what I should do as a parent official. Although the Zhanghuai area is not under my rule, but They are also the people of our Wu'an country. Since I am an official, let alone ruled by me, I should think about our Wu'an people."

"City Lord Yuan understands righteousness and loves the people like a son. Qing admires him very much."

Yan Qing complimented her.

Yuan Mouren laughed, and also praised Yan Qing: "It's not as famous as Yan Qing's nephew's daughter, but she has the merit of King Qin's rescue!"

Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Yuan Mouren changed the subject, "Nephew Yan Qing has worked hard all the way, let's stop standing here and go to the city quickly. The manor has prepared a reception banquet for you, nephew Yan Qing. "

"Thank you City Lord Yuan for your kindness."

Yan Qing resigned, "Qing still has work to do, so there is no need for the reception banquet. May I ask City Lord Yuan, where is there a large embroidery workshop in the city? Qing came from the middle of Beijing. Work urgently to make cotton clothes, so that they can be transported to Yuhuai along with the relief funds.”

Yuan Mouren, who was given a cold face by Yan Qing again, was a little unhappy. He was about to say a few words, but after hearing what Yan Qing said later, he knew that she was really busy and was in a hurry, so he didn't care about it.

"There are no large embroidery workshops. Although Jicheng is a big city, it is no better than Kangdu. There are mostly small and medium-sized workshops in the city."

Yuan Mouren thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea, "Well, you guys take a break first, I'll go to the houses of the owners of several big embroidery workshops in the city, and they will unite to catch up with the work, and how many can be driven out by then. .”

"In this way, there will be City Lord Lao Yuan."

Yan Qing thanks again.

She could tell that Yuan Mouren was indeed dedicated to serving the people, but it was this overly familiar attitude that made her a little at a loss.

Especially when she remembered the year before last when she went back to Beijing with her father, she overheard Yuan Mouren talking sideways with her father about whether she was engaged or not.

Somehow, he still felt that his enthusiasm was too purposeful, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, apart from official business, she didn't really want to get too involved with the Yuan family.

For Yan Qing's repeated thanks, the alienated attitude was clear at a glance. Yuan Mouren knew that it was almost impossible for him to use Yan Kangming's relationship with Yan Qing, so he immediately showed the majesty of the city lord, waved his hand, and said: " It should be."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Mouren turned his head to greet his son who was following behind him, "Lu Zhi, take General Yan and the other soldiers to the city to rest."

Yuan Luzhi ignored Yuan Mouren's winking look at him, raised his eyebrows, and bowed respectfully: "Yes."

Having been slapped twice by Yan Qing and ignored by his own son, no matter how good-tempered Yuan Mouren was, he couldn't help but glaring at Yuan Luzhi right now.

But Yuan Luzhi acted as if he couldn't see it. After getting the order, he went straight around Yuan Mouren and came to Yan Qing, and made a formal gesture of invitation: "The city has prepared a lodging place for the general and all the soldiers. Move your steps."

Yan Qing breathed a sigh of relief at Yuan Luzhi's alienated attitude, and said politely, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan."

"You are welcome, General."

As Yuan Luzhi said, he took a step sideways, behind Yan Qing and his lieutenant Zeng Chengwen, and led the crowd to the post station where they were staying in the city.

Yuan Mouren, who was completely ignored by his son, watched the crowd enter the city helplessly, and then slapped his beard and stared at his feet: "This brat! I'm going to trouble him, but he's holding him back like this?! I really feel that my wings are so stiff. I can't control him anymore, can I?!"

The old housekeeper who followed Yuan Mouren saw Yuan Mouren scolding angrily, and persuaded him with a smile: "Master, please calm down, young master is still young, and it is normal not to want to start a family. When he meets someone I think is good, Naturally, I wanted to get married.”

Yuan Mouren refuted him angrily: "This Yan Qing, a rare general in a hundred years! To be famous at a young age, you need to be famous and have a good appearance. People from the Yan family are also loyal and honest. You just I see, there is a limit to advancing and retreating, oil and salt do not enter, reaching out and slapping a smiling person makes people speechless. How many talents do you see? What a girl? Why doesn’t this brat open his eyes?!”

The old butler couldn't laugh or cry: "Master, you know that you are recruiting a daughter-in-law, but you don't know that you think you are recruiting a counselor for yourself! Besides, it is not a compliment to say that you don't get oil and salt. "

"Uncle Zhang, you don't understand. The situation in this world is unpredictable. This Wu'an country is going to be chaotic."

Yuan Mouren sighed, "When I'm here, I can still protect the brat, but if something happens to me... just relying on the brat's ability, I can't support this city."

"That's why you have been reluctant to report to the imperial court and make the young master the young city lord?"

Uncle Zhang asked.

Yuan Mouren nodded: "It's really going to be a mess. With that brat's personality, if he doesn't take the position of city lord, I'm afraid he can save his life."

"Why doesn't this brat understand?"

Yuan Mouren chanted again, hating iron for being weak.

Uncle Zhang also sighed, and persuaded: "Master, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you believe in young master, even in troubled times, you can do something."

Yuan Mouren glanced at Uncle Zhang.

Looking at each other, Uncle Zhang seriously nodded to affirm Yuan Luzhi's ability.

Yuan Mouren curled his lips and sighed: "Who is worried about whether he can do something? Anyway, I have done everything I can do. He is disobedient, and I can't really hang him up and beat him up! I just want to, in my Before the accident, he was able to hug a big fat grandson. The son of the old Wang family next door is the same age as him, and now his son can make soy sauce, but he is still a bachelor! Thinking about it is annoying!"

"Don't worry, don't worry. Young master, you were also late to marry, didn't this old slave watch young master grow up?"

Uncle Zhang stroked his beard with a smile, "When the young master finds the destined person, then, young master, don't think that the grandson is too noisy. I think the young master was too noisy when he was first born. Complain to the young lady."

Being exposed by Uncle Zhang, the corners of Yuan Mouren's mouth twitched in embarrassment, and he turned the topic back to Yuan Luzhi for a moment: "Stinky boy! He has been troublesome since he was a child. Even if he is destined, he must be willing to look for it! Mr. You can't wait for the girl to come and chase him, can you?"
