Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 628: When it comes to flattery, everyone is a master!

Soon, everyone walked through the verandah and arrived at the courtyard where the female guests were being entertained today.

This courtyard is the usual residence of Mrs. Jia, the birthday girl. The female guests sit around and talk and laugh, which is very lively.

Seeing Mrs. Wen and others coming in, Liu Zhiheng's wife stood up to greet her. She held Jiayin's hand and came forward with a smile, saying, "Just now, I was talking about you to the old lady, but I didn't expect you guys to be here before I even finished speaking. It's really What a coincidence."

 As she spoke, she personally introduced Mrs. Jia and everyone.

In a room full of people, the one who has good news has the highest status. Everyone greets each other and bows to good news.

　　The good news was received steadily and duly, and then the gift was returned.

The hard work of being a top student is not just a joke. During this period, while being encouraged by Doctor Zhang, Jiayin also did not miss learning the rules and reading.

At this moment, she hid the naughty monkey look at home, raised her head and chest, smiled from ear to ear, and nodded and greeted everyone, but she was calm and collected.

Since today was a birthday banquet, Jiayin wore a peach red gold pipa skirt, a double bun, and two thin braids hanging by her ears, which made her even more cute.

Between her brows and eyes, the eight-treasure necklace on her chest reflects a bit of nobility.

Even though everyone has never seen her before, they did not feel unfamiliar when they secretly looked at her like this today.

 Handhou Xinting can treat her like her own daughter, even the emperor loves her dearly. This is what she should look like, beautiful and noble.

The old lady of the Jia family was also about to stand up and salute, but Jiayin got there first and congratulated the old lady on her birthday in a crisp voice, "I wish the old lady to be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea, and as long as the evergreen pines in the Southern Mountains. It was the first time that Jiayin came to visit, and there was nothing good. It happened to be recently. I was thinking about snacks, so I made a birthday cake for the old lady and presented it to the old lady later to cheer up the old lady. I hope the old lady likes it. "

“Hey, I like it, I like it!” Madam Jia was very handsome and kind-hearted. She was smiling from ear to ear, either because she was happy to hear the news and respected her, or because she was interested in the cake.

 She pulled Jiayin to sit next to her and chatted a few words in detail.

Everyone was divided into guests and hosts and sat down again. Mrs. Jia's second son was at the dock barracks. He was really worried about her and couldn't bear it. He personally brought tea to Tao Hongying and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Li, for coming to celebrate her birthday today. It's the autumn harvest. At home, Are you busy?"

Tao Hongying thanked her, took the tea bowl, and responded with a smile, "Yes, Madam, you should also know that we have planted a mountain of fruits in Broken Gold Beach. Now is the time to pick, and the village and outside are very busy. I came out today, but Justified and lazy!"

Mrs. Jia led the conversation and said, "My uncle and General Li both have errands, so I'm afraid they won't be able to help much, right? Do you have more to worry about at home?"

Tao Hongying guessed a bit and said, "Yes, uncle, he's fine, but my general is training at the dock military camp and hasn't been back for a long time."

Mrs. Jia tightened her handkerchief, and even the other female guests looked over and raised their ears.

Mrs. Jia Er couldn't see her sister-in-law's hesitation, so she simply smiled and came closer, and asked straightforwardly, "Mrs. Li, almost all of our families have boys in the military camp. They have been worried about eating and sleeping well these past few days. I wonder if Li Has there been any news from the general about what's going on over there?"

Tao Hongying smiled gently, glanced at everyone, and said, "My general has not sent any news back. However, it is not war time. The new recruits are just trained to walk, sit, and lie down, and obey orders. There will be no danger."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but one woman, Xu, who doted on her son too much, couldn't help but get red circles in her eyes and choked up, "Although I say this, I'm sorry for my brother Tong, who doesn't have enough to wear and eat every day. The maids serve you, but now that you have arrived at that place, you have to take care of yourself, for fear that you will not have enough to eat or clothing to keep warm..."

Tao Hongying didn't like to hear what she said, as if someone had deliberately treated her children harshly.

She took a sip of tea and said, "To talk about hard work, it was really hard before! The Northern Expeditionary Army did not have enough rations. They only had two meals of porridge a day, which was not enough to eat at all. There were no cotton-padded clothes in winter, so I wished I could wear a straw mat to keep warm.

"That's it. We must always be on guard against the barbarians crossing the Jinsha River. We don't want the well-fed and clothed nobles and people in the south of the Yangtze River to be killed or even eaten by the barbarians as two-legged sheep. That is really hard work, even Wronged!

"It's better now, Your Majesty, more people have joined the army and have personally felt the hardships of the Northern Expeditionary Army. The military rations are enough to satisfy them, and cotton-padded jackets and trousers are being produced in a hurry. There will definitely be no more hunger or cold this winter. Don't worry, everyone. ! ”  The choking woman was a little embarrassed, and the others also felt guilty.

 Their children do not go to military camps, and they really do not care about this.

 In their minds, those soldiers were used to guard the border and resist the barbarians.

 This is their duty!

 As for whether these soldiers endure hardship, it seems to have nothing to do with them.

 But now these soldiers are replaced by their children, and this idea has completely changed.

I have to say, it hurts so much when I cut myself with a knife!

Mrs. Jia Er didn't want to leave the room alone, so she quickly smiled and said, "That's good. As long as we have enough food and clothing, the family will not worry about it. We are all boys, so it is a good thing to have more experience."

The rest of the people nodded reluctantly and agreed one after another.

"Yes, I can cause trouble at home. It is a good thing to go to the military camp to learn from the marquis and be loyal to Tianwu and the emperor."

 “The emperor’s sage.”

 She is an official wife after all, and she is good at flattering everyone.

When Mrs. Wen saw this, she asked Tao Hongying, "The Marquis came back a few days ago and had a few words with the uncle. We were all nearby at the time. It sounds to me like we can communicate with the military camp, right?"

Tao Hongying nodded and said with a smile, "Oh, indeed, if you don't tell me, I will forget it."

She turned to look at Mrs. Jia and said, "There was no such rule in the army before, but the Marquis said that the new recruits would be worried about the new recruits when they arrived at the camp. Therefore, the Marquis wrote a letter and asked the Emperor to allow the new recruits to join the army every month. It’s okay to have a correspondence at home, tell each other about the current situation, and bring a few supplies with you.

"It's just that this is the dock camp. I'm afraid the northern expedition will not be possible after the spring begins. After all, military aircraft are important, and it is not easy to come and go frequently inside and outside the military camp. If something goes wrong, no one will be able to take responsibility."

 “Seriously?” Mrs. Jia and the other female guests were all extremely surprised when they heard this.

They have already accepted their children’s enlistment and have no ambition to fish them out again.

But I don’t know what I miss the most about this news. If I can send a message and send something, I will be satisfied.

“Oh, that’s great! I’ll talk more about it when I get home soon to make everyone at home happy.”

“Yes, you don’t need to bring anything else with you. Just give me a little more money and prepare two sets of thick coats and trousers.”

“There are also various kinds of patent medicine pills, so I need to prepare some.”

Everyone was talking about what they were going to prepare, and they were all happy, and the room became lively again.

Someone cleverly complimented Mrs. Jia, "It's only thanks to Mrs. Li that we can meet Mrs. Li and hear such good news. We are really happy to follow Mrs. Jia!"

Mrs. Jia was coaxed into laughing. She was also thinking about her grandson, so it would be better if she could give her something.

Of course, she was even more happy that her second daughter-in-law had hooked up with the Li family.
