State yamen, back hall.

Wu Mo looked at the thick stack of land deeds, land deeds and house deeds in his hand, and his expression was a little dazed.

As early as when he decided to leave the first place, he thought that he would recover some of the property, but he didn't expect that it was not part of it, but everything.

Even the dowry that was occupied in the past was paid for by the ancestral property of the second wife of the Wu family.

One thousand two hundred acres of land, two shops, and one house.

The big head that was occupied before was the dowry of my mother and sister. My grandmother's share was old and there was not much left. He planned to leave all of these for my sister.

My sister's previous marriage had already ended up with her cousin's marriage.

Mr. Wu had not wanted to interfere in the marriage between his niece and granddaughter before, but Wu Mo had to find a way to push him.

My sister has already reached the age of birth. Although she can't bear to leave her, her daughter's family is fleeting and she can't stay for long.

Huo Bao pulled Niu Qing over, but did not leave Huo Bao.

Marriage is a matter of being a good match for two surnames. He spoke, and there was already suspicion of relying on power. There was also a Huo Bao who was obsessed with this matter and said that he could not do bad things with kindness.

The young man who came to the banquet yesterday was ordered to come to the prefecture government to report, so Huo Bao sent his cousin to screen him first.

Huo Bao said to Niu Qing: "Brother Qing, this young master Wu Mo and Wu were seventeen years old and were born in Tongsheng at the age of fourteen. If the Wu family hadn't secretly done bad things and were not allowed to take the exam, he would have been a scholar long ago..."

Niu Qing was dragged to watch a big show and became curious about Wu Moben. After hearing this, he became more and more impressed.

The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable, but sometimes life is more difficult than death.

It is very difficult to grow up well, study successfully, and protect girls.

After Huo Bao finished speaking, he regretted it.

I was negligent and forgot that the Wu family is a scholarly family.

If Miss Wu was also a talented woman, how could she live with Niu Qing, a farmer?

Without a common language, it is easy to become a resentful person if you get together.

It’s just that if you don’t pull the string halfway, you must keep going with your teeth.

Wu Mo was a little surprised. I wonder how this little marshal praised him to others?

Who is this "Big Brother Qing"?

Huo Bao looked at Wu Mo and said, "This is my cousin Niu Qing, who is with you, and now he is the battalion commander of the personal military battalion..."

Wu Mo showed a little surprise. Is this what he meant?

His eyes looked at Niu Qing and his eyes fixed on the wound on his neck.

Niu Qing has a graceful appearance and is not like a farmer's son, otherwise he would not have been spotted by the Ma Village Master at first.

Niu Qing was a little puzzled by Wu Mo. When he looked at Huo Bao, he remembered what the two said a few days ago.

Is this a blind date?

Niu Qing was so embarrassed that his face turned red immediately, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Seeing that both of them were clear, Huo Bao said, "Brother Qing went to rest first, I will talk to Mr. Wu."

"Okay... well... I'll go back first..."

Niu Qing responded and hurriedly left with a little helplessness.

Wu Mo's expression was complicated.

"Don't get it wrong, it's not a forced marriage! If you plot against your brother and sister's private money, there wouldn't be the public trial just now!"

Huo Bao said straight to the point: "Due to the epidemic last year, my cousin's elders passed away one after another, and he was the only one left in this branch. My father wanted to let him get married as soon as possible and inherit his bloodline. I wanted to find a suitable candidate in the Bao family and the Guo family... My cousin is an enthusiastic person. I went to your house yesterday and came back to praise your brothers and sisters for being in poverty and being willing to protect themselves. I am pitiful and respectful... He is worried that your brothers and sisters will be young and have to return to their ancestors' property, and there is no protection for elders, and worried that someone will make plans for Ling Mei for life... If Ling Mei is wrong in marriage, it would be a pity that my heart for protecting you brothers and sisters will urge me to pull this line! My cousin is a farmer and has not read many books. I just read literacy. I am afraid that it will be difficult to match Ling Mei. If you already have a proper candidate, you don't need to worry about it, so as not to cause trouble. "

Niu Qing lost his grandfather, his grandmother, his father, and his mother in October last year.

According to etiquette, mourning is the shortest and only three years, and the superimposed dress is eight years.

But it was almost time to fight, and there was no sight to the sword and gun.

Niu Qing took the initiative to mention the marriage, not because he was unfilial to his parents, but because he was kicked by Huo Wu, and was worried that he would be gone someday, which would cause the family to be cut off.

Huo Bao understood Niu Qing's thoughts, but could not let him leave any shortcomings, so he pointed out his unique identity and pushed the marriage to his father.

Wu Mo stood up, bowed solemnly with gratitude, "I am not a misunderstanding, but a flatterer! What kind of virtue is our brother and sister? I am so keen on this question? But it is a lifelong event for my sister. Please allow me to discuss with my sister in the future and reply to me."

How many families in Chuzhou City want to become the new marshal and have no way to envy and hate the Bao family, who is the only one who has something to do with the prefecture.

Wu Mo not only had to return to his ancestors, but also had a good marriage that fell from the sky.

He is of the same age as his wife, and he becomes the new marshal's in-laws after he gets married.

If it were someone else, I would have nodded a lot.

But Wu Mo asked his sister to nodded before responding. This brotherly and sisterly relationship is a pity.

This person has brains, patience, decisiveness and bottom line. He is a good seedling for his staff, and Huo Bao thinks it is good.

But my father had already spoken yesterday. He went to Shuijin to report from ages 17 to 25, but Huo Bao didn't plan to intercept the truth.

There is a shortage of people there, so it is not right.

"You have been delayed for a whole morning. Remember to go to Daying to find General Shui in the afternoon to report! Chuzhou is everyone's Chuzhou. To protect Chuzhou and develop Chuzhou, everyone needs to work together!" Huo Bao served tea to see him off.

Wu Mo responded solemnly before turning around and leaving.

Huo Bao went to the school grounds directly from the back door.

Niu Qing stood at the back door frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Qing, what's wrong?"

"Brother Bao, this marriage is not good!"

Niu Qing no longer had the shyness he had before and looked disapproving.

"Brother Qing met the leopard just now?"

"Well! Whose daughter is not married? There is no need to get into trouble with this family, and she does not lack food or clothing. If this drags down Uncle Wu and you, then I would rather not marry him!" Niu Qing's attitude was very firm.

Huo Bao rushed over and just as he heard this, his face looked ashamed.

I have been greedy and forgot about this.

In order not to be suspected of making money, Uncle Bao dispersed all the property on Wu's family in a "public trial".

But I followed up with trouble, not thinking about the dowry of the Wu girl.

Huo Bao looked at the two of them, and was pleased that they could think of the position of their father and son in advance, but they did not give up.

"Everyone says behind the scenes, and everyone is talking behind the scenes. If we take into account the statements of others, we will not be able to get to where we are today. As long as we have a clear conscience, we don't need to take care of so many things. When this marriage is completed, villains will complain that we are greedy for money, but truly discerning people can know our lenientness and magnanimity!"

If you kill what you should be killed, you must appease what you should be comforted.

The gentry and merchants also knew that the state yamen was not just tough.

Niu Qing was convinced and nodded and said nothing.

Huo Bao looked at his cousin again: "Don't think about it... This time you are thinking about Brother Qing. The Wu brother and sister are better than others. I have only pulled the line once. Don't look for me again in this way!"

It's the first time in two lives to be a matchmaker!

Very embarrassed!

Huo Bao immediately said honestly: "My nephew will never dare again! This time is only this time!"

Whether it is the dowry of the Wu girl or Niu Qing's life in the future, he is not as important as Uncle Bao's reputation in his heart.

Uncle Bao did not take other people's statements seriously, but he could not take them seriously.

I have already regretted it in my heart.

It’s just that the marriage has been told to the Wu family, so there is no reason for repeated repetition, otherwise it would be a worse situation for the Wu brothers and sisters.

...

Yesterday, there were more than 30 children from the state yamen. Except for those under ten years old, there were twenty-two people, who are now standing in the schoolyard.

Huo Bao got everyone in the morning exam, and it was here.

"There are not many people who can show off!"

Huo Bao was a little disgusted: "Except for a person named Wu, I am really good, but Uncle Bao called him the Song family, and the Guo family is better..."

Huo Bao was not surprised.

The Song family is studying and passing on the family, and the children have to take the exam. Without a good figure, they cannot pass the exam one by one.

The ancestors of the Guo family were imperial chefs, and the most important thing in the family inheritance was craftsmanship.

Children in their teens should have started to pick up their big spoons long ago.

On the school ground, most of the twenty-two people had their heads hanging down.

Last night, except for those who were blindfolded by their elders, most teenagers witnessed Huo Bao's cruelty.

Trembling, extremely afraid in my heart.

Everyone knows that today we are here to choose companions for the little marshal. If you choose companions, you will be a scout. If you don’t choose, you will be a scout.

This brutal little Leopard is the leader of the scout!

Those young warriors who chop people and dumpling stuffing are scouts!

Never want to eat meat again!

So terrible!

Woo...I don't want to be exiled...

The students went to the school field and took the exam three times in a row.

Running a circle, lifting a stone, and pulling a bow.

Whether it is a gentleman or a business master, they are all stunned

Isn’t it like choosing a companion to read as an assessment homework?

Is this a partner or a guard?

Huo Bao didn't mean to make things difficult for everyone.

As the war is about to go, the people around Uncle Bao will not say that they are protecting Uncle Bao, and at the worst, they cannot be held back.

If you really want to choose a nerd who is powerless, you can't protect yourself. Uncle Bao is soft-hearted. If you really want to encounter something, you won't leave the people around you alone. What's not a burden?

In order to intimidate these young masters, Huo Bao also specially dispatched two teams of child soldiers to demonstrate it to everyone first.

This time, the child soldiers who came to Chuzhou were between the ages of thirteen and fifteen.

His face is tender, but he is also a veteran.

These three items are a piece of cake.

The boys looked at it and felt more and more unsure.

Most of us have baked this test.

Song Qianzhi, the second young master of the Song family, got the "upper, superior, superior".

There is also a young master of the Wu family, Wu Yuan, who is "up, up, up".

Guo Ge, the third young master of the Guo family, is "middle, upper, middle".

Guo Bu, the fifth young master of the Guo family, is "Zhong, Zhong".

The worst of the remaining nineteen people is one "lower", and some are directly "lower, lower, lower".

According to Huo Bao's standards, if a "down" appears, it will be removed.

Among these twenty-two people, eighteen were eliminated in the first round, and they were qualified to choose Uncle Bao’s companion, and only these four people were allowed to study.

Huo Bao called the four of them in front of him.

Song Qianzhi is heroic, not like a scholar, but like a general.

All three items have passed, such as endurance, strength, and accuracy.

Just to achieve this for the sake of the imperial examination?

Huo Bao had already told Huo Bao about the performance of the children of various families in the side hall yesterday.

It is worth mentioning that Wu Mo and the young man of the Song family.

At that time, Wu Guangzong and his son were killed, and even the adults were afraid, so the young man took action to protect his friends.

I have to say that this kind of loyalty and passion is passionate, but it is also stupid.

If he was not facing Huo Bao, but a truly cruel person, then he would not only get involved in such a behavior, but also drag down his family and cheat his father and ancestors.

Huo Bao glanced at Song Qianzhi's finger ring: "Do you want to join the army?"

Song Qianzhi did not answer immediately, pursed his lips, and felt a little stubborn.

He wanted to join the army, but he was not the White-Shirt Army.

What kind of army is the White Shirt Army?

It was just a farmer and refugee holding a hoe.

Huo Baodao: "In March, Baishan Army occupied Lingshui, and 800 soldiers from Lingshui County fled to Quyang, slaughtered twelve villages and killed hundreds of people... Chuzhou was also surrounded at that time, and officers and soldiers were rushing all over the city, and they took 230 disciples and strangled them one by one on the city wall... The leader of the Baishan Army could not bear to see him, so he finally led his troops to retreat..."

What do you want is to be a soldier who "kills good and takes credit"?

Or is it that the enemy does not want to defend against the enemy when attacking, and only will he face the butcher knife at the people's officers and soldiers?

Huo Bao didn't ask these two sentences, but Song Qianzhi understood them well.

His face turned red, and he obviously had objections.

Huo Bao had no intention of debating with him, and said, "Go back and ask Ling Zu, should a real man establish a worldly life, be a loyal emperor or a loyal sentient being or a loyal sentient being?"

Song Qianzhi frowned.

What's there to ask about this?

Who doesn’t know the truth about being loyal to the emperor and patriotism?

Huo Bao had already looked at Wu Yuan.

The Wu family is not revealed in the twenty-eight families in Chuzhou, but they are the real descendants of the generals.

The ancestor of the Wu family was a minor general under the fifth general, and was one of the thirty-six generals who died in the city with the fifth general.

Over the years, the Wu family's children have practiced martial arts, but have not taken office and opened a martial arts school to make a living.

Wu Yuan's eyes fell on the mace bag that Huo Bao was carrying.

"Little Marshal, can you see the divine weapon?"

Huo Bao smiled, pulled out a mace from behind, and handed it forward.

Wu Yuan took it with both hands.

This purple gold mace body, the swastika pattern on the mace handle, and the heavy weight all prove that this is the legendary magic weapon - the fifth general's purple gold mace!

Wu Yuan was solemn and returned with both hands.

Huo Bao collects his mace.

Wu Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee, his face full of firmness: "Yuan is willing to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu and follow the little marshal to the death!"

Wu Yuan’s Gaozu was a fellow villager of the fifth general and the first general to follow the fifth general.

Huo Bao personally helped him up and said seriously: "Okay! From today on, you and I will be brothers in the robe. May you and I follow our ancestors and descendants be proud of you and me in many years!"

"Yeah!" Wu Yuan's eyes were red and he nodded vigorously.

Huo Bao looked at the Guo brothers again.

Guo Ge is thirteen years old, a silent and shy boy. He looks at him at a glance by Huo Bao.

Guo Bu is nine years old and is a chubby little boy who loves to laugh.

He was less than ten years old, and yesterday his father temporarily replaced his fourth cousin to attend the banquet. Today, the uncle made the decision to let him come over.

Both of these cousins ​​have mediocre grades, not comparable to Song Qianzhi and Wu Yuan.
