Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 422 Chapter 420 One: News
Listen to this, and then look at Zhang Pumpkin's obviously showing off look, why is it so awkward?
The villagers looked at each other, and the yellow cauliflower, who couldn't help it, rushed over from the next door, "Hey! Brother Pumpkin, where did you make a fortune! I heard that your family's reputation in the town was pointed out by others. Dian Asong was also divorced, you packed up and ran away overnight, we were still worried about you coming! I never thought that I hadn’t seen you for a month, Brother Pumpkin looked so different! Why did you come back alone today? Don’t you see your siblings and two children?”

Look at that purse of silver, this pumpkin, don't sell your children!
Zhang Nangua: I know that the villagers might laugh at them behind their backs.

Humph.

With a smile on his face, he said: "I have made the villagers worry, and I thank the villagers for their concern. Our family is fine! Isn't this a house bought in the county, and it is also put away, so we simply moved to the town to live What, what ran overnight? This is pure nonsense."

Huang Caihua hehe, "It turned out that I lived in Shang County! The county is very lively, and the cost is higher than that in the town, right? Look at Brother Pumpkin's style, I think he has made a lot of money, and I don't know what to do for a living What about it? Are you still used to living with your family?”

Zhang Nangua knew that the yellow cauliflower just wanted to see a joke, but he was eager for someone to cheer him up so that he could show off himself.

"The county is really lively. When we first went there, we were really not used to it! But now it's all right, everything is on the right track.

As soon as I got old, I didn’t want to take the entrance exam anymore, so I found a restaurant as a cashier to earn a little money. The family bought a dozen servants to do things. Your younger siblings, you bring plum blossoms every day when you have nothing to do. For shopping, as for your nephew Asong, he was admitted to the famous Tanshan Academy in Jingzhou Prefecture a month ago, and he is studying there now!

Oh, you don’t know Tanshan Academy, do you?It is even more difficult to enter than the county school, and the dean is still the official minister who has returned from his old age!Nine out of ten students who come out of this academy become officials! "

Zhang Pumpkin bragged without changing his face, and what he said was half true and half false.

But he is very confident!
When he goes to the capital next year, hmph, at that time, these mud-legged people will only look up to him and envy him!
Huang Caihua's face turned green when she heard that, so Feng, is life really going so well these days?Better than being in town?
I don’t know if this pumpkin is just bragging or true!
But the villagers looked at his style, that carriage, that money bag, even if it was bragging, the price of bragging was quite high, right?
Left and right, they can't put on such outfits to brag about this bullshit.

Could it be true?

For a moment, the expressions of the villagers became complicated.

It's not that you can't see others.

But how can someone like Zhang Pumpkin be good?

That Zhang Song did such a shameless thing, how could he still be able to enter such a good academy and continue his studies?
Such a person is also worthy of reading?

The village chiefs felt a little bored thinking about it. Knowing that Zhang Pumpkin was showing off on purpose, they didn't want to post it to make this person look good, so they all dispersed because they had something to do.

Zhang Pumpkin has shown off what he should show off, and I believe the whole village knows what he is capable of now.

It was also rare to exchange pleasantries with these mud-legged people, and returned the silver to Butcher Wang, and then went to several other houses to pay off the remaining three taels of silver, and did not stay long, and walked away in a very proud manner in the carriage.

After passing through Chenjiazhuang, I turned in by the way, and went to the old uncle's house to show off.

He teased a few old cousins ​​and nephews so warmly and flatteringly, then lightly dropped 20 taels of silver, and left like a proud peacock with his head upright, letting all the people behind him catch up to please and keep him. glance.

This trip cost a few tens of taels of silver, but Zhang Pumpkin was very happy in his heart, so he didn't feel bad at all.

What is this little money?
When I returned to the town, stayed at my brother-in-law's house for a night, was treated to delicious food and drink, left the next day, and got a lot of money to spend by the way, I felt even more beautiful in my heart.

……

The news of the war in the southernmost area spread day by day, and Song Qiu asked Du Chuanfu to inquire about it every day when he went shopping in the town, so he had a good idea.

The 300,000 troops of Changle Kingdom are overwhelming and unstoppable. Although the [-] defenders of Mayang Pass have experience in major wars, they can only barely hold the city gate and prevent the enemy from breaking through too quickly due to the disparity between the enemy and ourselves.

But someone stabbed him behind the scenes.

General Changming under the command of King Hou gathered 80,000 people from the three prefectures to attack from behind.

However, after three days of continuous attacks, Changle Kingdom broke through the city gate and successfully entered Mayang Pass.

The guard at Mayang Pass stubbornly resisted and vowed not to surrender, but was beheaded by the enemy general to demonstrate.

As for the other defenders, the casualties and wounds fell, and only a part of them fled out of Mayang Pass and assembled at Lingnan Pass to resist the enemy's continued northward journey.

The army of Changle Kingdom and Houwang's anti-army successfully merged, captured Mayang Pass, occupied the three states, and then approached Lingnan Pass in a mighty and unstoppable manner.

If the Lingnan Pass is breached, the entire Dali will be in jeopardy!
Fortunately, Lingnan Pass is a dangerous place. General Yu Chiru and the 200,000 Nanfu troops under his command are stationed here. Regardless of the wind, sun, frost or rain, they are as majestic as mountains.

At this time, Yu Chiru, who had received the secret order and rushed back from the capital, was on the wall of Lingnan Pass, looking in the direction of the south, waiting for the enemy to attack.

Behind Mayang Pass was the army of Hou Wang, who went to support them, obviously passive.

It's better to wait for the rabbit to hit the Lingnan Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The three states in the south are gone, and the only one, Mayang Pass, is not important if it is lost for a while.

Sooner or later it will be taken back.

However, the army of Changle Kingdom and the army of Houwang attacked for five consecutive days, but they didn't even take a single brick of Lingnan Pass.

Seeing that the New Year's Eve was approaching, a heavy snow fell profusely, which brought greater difficulty to the attack, and the enemy army, which had been unable to attack for a long time, had to temporarily stop the attack and wait until the next year to start the war.

When the news came, the people here couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then praised the general Yu Chiru one after another.

Although the heavy snow covered the ground and the roof with a thick layer, it was still falling continuously, and the weather was so cold that people shook their hands, but the enemy army couldn't move Lingnan Pass, which was worthy of their cheers and celebrations.

As long as Lingnan Pass is not lost, they will be safe.

Song Qiu also heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, at least let them relax and enjoy this new year.

As for the non-stop snowflakes, they are all beautiful to look at.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden were covered by snow and it was difficult to clean them. Song Qiu didn't bother to care about them. The cabbages were even sweeter when they were covered in snow.

I only took a shovel to clean up the rest of the yard to make room for walking.

The inn also closed yesterday, and it will open again after the new year. There is no room for the family, so Song Qiu waved his hand and told Du Chuanfu and others to go to Zhuangzi. The rice, flour, grain, oil and meat are all ready, and we can wait until the new year is over. .

The weather was so cold, Song Qiu felt his hands were stiff after a while, and the old Yuan in the house was busy calling her to come in and warm up by the fire.

Song Qiu responded and raised his head to look up the mountain.

It's snowing well today, and the girl Ah Ling went to the mountain early in the morning, saying that it's better to practice in the snow. It's almost noon now, and she hasn't come back yet, so she doesn't know what to practice The exercises are so vigorous.
