Blood from Daming

Chapter 138 Family Rhyme
Xue Ruiyou took out a long black iron token from the hidden compartment behind him, and solemnly handed it to Xue Yun.Xue Yun held the dragon-shaped cloud-pattern black iron token in his hand and wrote on it: "Daming Zongzheng" has a big "日" character in the middle and a "qi" character at the bottom.

Xue Yun looked at the "Daming Zongzheng" token in his hand, and couldn't help but think of the token of Dongchang and the jade token left by his cousin in his hand. The badge was not handed in, and he was once again the identity of Jinyiwei Qianhu and the Imperial Patrol Envoy, so he simply put the badge on his whole body and forget it.

Xue Rui told Xue Yun that after two days, the royal family and elders of the clan's mansion of the "Order of the Universe, the Sun and the Moon" would meet him, and the place of conversation was set to be at Xue's mansion...

Xue Rui asked Xue Yun not to go out for a few days, Xue Yun agreed and chatted with his grandfather for a while, then got up to bid farewell to his grandfather, Xue Rui didn't ask Xue Yun to stay and leave by himself.

Xue Yun passed by his small courtyard and saw the servant guarding the courtyard and walked over. The servant guarding the courtyard hurriedly greeted Xue Yun: "Master, you are here."

Xue Yun: "You are the only one guarding here. Doesn't anyone come to change shifts?"

The guardian attendant: "Young master's mansion is short of manpower now. During the day, the villain is guarded by one person. At night, when the inner courtyard is closed, the villain rests in the ear room three doors away."

Xue Yun was a little moved after hearing this: "Well, what's your name?"

The guard's attendant: "The villain's name is Xue Ermao."

After hearing this, Xue Yun knew that most of them were born in the family or entered the mansion since childhood, so he asked: "The current janitor Xue Damao of my Xiao Xue Mansion is your brother, right?"

Xue Ermao hurriedly defended: "It's not a real brother, it's all taken by old housekeeper Mao according to his age."

Xue Yun despised the old housekeeper for being uneducated: "Is the old man and the two children you were with at that time also surnamed Xue?"

Xue Ermao: "The old man's name is Boss Xue, and the two children, one named Xue Xiaowa and the other named Xue Yaowa, were taken by old housekeeper Mao."

Xue Yun was almost dizzy when he heard this. This old butler Mao is too lazy to give his subordinates such a fool. As an accomplice to a large extent, think that I don't know how to take care of Xue's affairs now, so let the old butler Mao mess around.

Xue Yun said to Xue Ermao: "Tomorrow you report to Guanshi Wang and ask her to arrange two subordinates for you, so that you won't have to work so hard alone in the future."

Xue Ermao thanked Xue Yun endlessly. When Xue Yun turned to leave, Xue Ermao asked: "Who is the young master Wang Guanshi?"

Xue Yun had no choice but to say, "It's Miss Wang."

When Xue Yun returned to Xiao Xue’s Mansion, it was almost dark, and the soldiers in Xiao Xue’s Mansion were hurrying to eat. Xue Yun went up to see that the food was not bad. Every table was filled with a pot of fried mutton with cabbage and a pot of radish. Pork, rice and pancakes, plus a large bucket of bone broth.Xue Yun smelled delicious, and guessed that his wife had already had dinner at this time, so he squeezed towards a table, thinking that the officers and soldiers would have a meal together, and buy people's hearts by the way.

Before Xue Yun could be seated, the soldiers at the table immediately blocked Xue Yun. Lu Yaojin and Wang Erwa ran over to pull Xue Yun. Xue Yun pretended to be angry and expected to sit down. Pushing Xue Yun into the second gate of Xiao Xue's Mansion, Xue Yun looked helpless and had no choice but to go to the inner courtyard.

Xue Yun entered the room and saw two tables of mahjong fighting in full swing, and the waitress was also staring at the table with full attention. Xue Yun had to stand behind the mahjong table and saw that this table was Rumeng, Ruolian, Ni Hongshuang, and Yingchun. Xue Yun smelled the four people around him. The body fragrance of Ni Hongshuang, who was sitting in front of her playing cards, couldn't help feeling a little whimsical. Just when Xue Yun felt that his body had changed, he suddenly heard Yingchun yelling from the opposite side: "It's all the same, it's playing cards."

Rumeng, Ruolian, and Ni Hongshuang took advantage of the candlelight to carefully look at the Yingchun card. Rumeng and Ruolian both sighed. Ni Hongshuang suddenly stood up and pushed the silver on the table, saying: " I lost all the money I won today, so I don’t want to play any more.” Ni Hongshuang turned around quickly and left the mahjong table.

Ni Hongshuang got up too fast from the stool, but Xue Yun was too close to Ni Hongshuang, almost touching her skin.Ni Hongshuang rushed up and turned around, just in time to meet Xue Yun face to face, face to face, mouth to mouth. Ni Hongshuang was kissed by Xue Yun's lips, and she didn't wake up for a long time. Xue Yun was tasting the nectar, and Ni Hongshuang After realizing it, he pushed Xue Yun away and ran away by himself.

Xue Yun knew that his lewdness had been committed again, and the candlelight in the living room was flickering for a short time. Everyone didn't pay special attention to Ni Hongshuang and Xue Yun's abnormality. Instead, Ni Hongshuang ran away from Yingchun who saw Xue Yun and shouted quickly: " You are back, young master." Ru Meng, Ruo Lian and the women at the other mahjong table looked at Xue Yun together.

Soon the mahjong table of Yan Sanniang, Miss Chen, Xue Er, and Yunxi was taken away, and Yan Sanniang stepped forward and asked Xue Yun, "Has Mr. Xiang not eaten yet?"

Xue Yun nodded. Seeing this, Ms. Chen hurriedly ordered the girls below to serve dinner. The girls quickly put away the mahjong and brought up a table of steaming meals. When everyone sat down to eat, Ms. Chen had already persuaded Ni Hongshuang to come out. Thinking that she lost too much money and couldn't stand it, she didn't think there were other factors at all, and she started to move her chopsticks when Wu Hui came out of Mei Xiang's room.

Seeing this, Yingchun had no choice but to leave, but Wu Hui saw that there was an empty stool beside the garden table, so she sat down on the empty stool next to Yingchun. Xue Yun pretended not to notice and told the women to eat while it was hot.

Xue Yun got off the dinner table very quickly, and Yan Sanniang came over to Xue Yun as soon as she had finished eating, and said, "Before you were not the shopkeeper Wang of "Xuji Silk Village", but the shopkeeper Cheng came to visit and I returned it for you, but they know you are new. Tian Qianjin sent congratulatory gifts. "

Xue Yun said that he knew. Seeing Ni Hongshuang's unnatural expression, Xue Yun found an excuse to get up to Mei Xiang's room. Looking at the pink and chubby girl very happily, she asked Mei Xiang: "Sister, have you thought of a name for the child yet?"

Mei Xiang complained: "It's just that you are a father, why did you push it to me, a woman?"

Xue Yun: "Since the elder sister asked the younger brother to choose a name, the younger brother slowly figured out a good name, so that it is worthy of our precious daughter."

Mei Xiang has now completely accepted Xue Yun, her eyes are full of innumerable tenderness, she has been looking at Xue Yun affectionately, her heart is full of happiness, she gradually becomes confused and calls Xue Yun in a low voice, Xue Yun stepped forward Putting one arm around Mei Xiang, the two leaned close together, and it took a long time for Xue Yun to leave Mei Xiang's side.

Xue Yun was disturbed by the plump and affectionate Mei Xiang after giving birth, and Mei Xiang hurriedly retreated after a few words of comfort. When he came to the living room, he found that Rumeng, Ruolian, Xueer, and Yunxi had left. Yun avoided the embarrassing situation of letting these four women stay in Xiaoxue's residence.

The next day Xue Yun got up very early, but Yan Sanniang got up even earlier, and had already gone to Shuntian Mansion to report officially.

Only Wu Hui and Ms. Chen accompanied Xue Yun for breakfast. After dinner, Xue Yun ordered Lu Yaojin and Wang Erwa to take the gifts they had prepared earlier and go to the Arms Bureau, Gunpowder Bureau, and Military Battle Bureau.
Ms. Chen whispered in Xue Yun's ear: "Xue Lang, today is the day when my uncle visits me."

Xue Yun: "Don't worry, lady, I will come back as soon as possible to handle business for my husband."

Xue Yun said goodbye to Wu Hui and Ms. Chen and left the inner courtyard of Xiao Xue's mansion. At this time, Lu Yaojin and Wang Erwa had prepared presents and waited in the courtyard. Xue Yun immediately took them out of Xiao Xue's mansion to the inner courtyard of the capital. Immediately, there must be a lot of wood piled up beside the wall of Xiaoxue's mansion. It seems that Ms. Chen has already arranged to build a land bridge from Xue's mansion to Xiaoxue's mansion.

Xue Yun came to the Ministry of Industry and the Internal Government Supervision Bureau to find the head of the department to present a prepared gift. The Ministry of Industry accepted the gift but it was still in a businesslike manner. Fortunately, the eunuchs of the Internal Government Supervision Bureau were very enthusiastic. Xue Yun estimated that Wei Zhongxian's attitude was most likely at work. Several eunuchs in charge took Xue Yun and the others and the officials from the Ministry of Industry to the Arms Bureau, the Battle Bureau, and the Gunpowder Bureau. Finally, the eunuch in charge and the officials from the Ministry of Industry decided to Come down and provide Datong with a batch of military supplies.

The eunuch in charge handed the list of these military supplies to Xue Yun, Xue Yun took the list handed over by the eunuch in charge and carefully examined the total: 30 broadswords, [-] spears, [-] shields, [-] hard bows, arrows [-] arrowheads, [-] tiger crouching cannons, [-] three-eyed blunderbusses, [-] firecrackers, [-] catties of gunpowder, [-] sets of armor, [-] flags, etc.

After reading the other weapons and equipment, Xue Yun didn't have any special requirements, but felt that the gunpowder was too little, so he quietly dragged the eunuch in charge aside.

Xue Yun said to the eunuch in charge: "This father-in-law, I would like to ask you to help me get more gunpowder at the end. You will definitely be very satisfied with the money."
