As soon as Qi Jin came back, Qi Xiaochen immediately became a grandson. He didn't even dare to be as presumptuous as before in Yuelian's house at night.

Qi Jin served for the country for one year at the border. This time, the emperor gave him half a month off and then went to court after he had enough rest.

On the third day after Qi Jin returned home, Qi Xiaochen came back in the evening, and Su Li said to him: "I have something to discuss with my father, and the second master will accompany me to go there."

Song Yilan is a daughter-in-law, and it is not suitable to ask for a widower father-in-law alone, so Su Li has to follow the customs.

Qi Xiaochen said vigilantly: "What are you discussing with your father?"

Su Li smiled and said, "The matter of pension for the wounded soldiers has nothing to do with the Second Master."

Qi Xiaochen was stunned.

Whenever the court is in war, a large number of soldiers will be killed, including the remaining soldiers and injured generals. However, the court will give her a pension, so will her turn be a woman to worry about?

Qi Xiaochen showed a hint of contempt on his face, thinking that Su Li was worried about it.

Su Li said directly: "The second master just said whether to go or not. If you don't go, don't blame me for talking too much in front of my father."

Qi Xiaochen had no choice but to accompany her to find her father.

Because his daughter-in-law was laughed at by his beard, Qi Jin went back to the house and took a shower and asked the old housekeeper to shave him. He could give birth to Qi Lingyun and Qi Xiaochen's handsome son, Qi Jin's facial features were also very handsome and resolute. In modern times, he definitely belonged to the kind of tough guy and charming uncle. After taking off his armor and putting on his regular clothes, Qi Jin's burly was not reduced in half. Standing next to such a man, he felt very safe.

"What's your couple looking for me?"

When Qi Jin learned that his son and daughter-in-law had come together, he immediately put down his work and rushed to the living room.

Qi Xiaochen looked at Su Li.

Su Li poured a bowl of tea for her father-in-law, stood beside Qi Jin and said, "My father is guarding the frontier outside, and the second master is training troops in the barracks. As the wife of the general, she is really sorry for growing flowers and grass at home, so she wants to do something meaningful."

Qi Jin nodded and looked at his daughter-in-law with even more satisfaction: "I am a woman from a scholarly family. Her ideas are different from those of ordinary women. So, are you thinking about what you want to do today?"

Su Li said: "Yes, my daughter-in-law once heard that many soldiers who were injured on the battlefield would be depressed and mediocre when they returned home. The dignified seven-foot man was willing to fall into depravity after breaking his hands and feet. He relied on the support of his parents and wives at home. They were obsessed with physical incompleteness and refused to come out. The family members had to take care of him and earn money to support the family. One person was injured and the whole family was affected."

Qi Jin's expression became solemn and signaled his daughter-in-law to continue.

Qi Xiaochen snorted coldly and stared at Su Li and said, "You said simply. Those soldiers either had their hands or feet broken. What can they do? Do you think they don't want to make money to support their families, but they can't find a way out. Which old man is willing to be a turtle with his head?"

He spoke loudly, and he seemed to be scolding Su Li.

Su Li lowered her head aggrievedly, and was scolded and dared not continue talking.

When Qi Jin saw this, he slapped the table and pointed at Qi Xiaochen and cursed: "Yilan talks to me, what do you want to talk more? What can you think of in your elm-head? Will Yilan not think of it? If you want to listen, shut up and listen. If you don't want to listen, get out and don't swear in front of me!"

Qi Xiaochen wanted to leave, wasn’t he afraid that Su Li would say bad things about him once he left?

There was no way, Qi Xiaochen shut up obediently and didn't dare to let go of a single fart.

Qi Jin glared at him fiercely, and turned to Su Li to speak softly: "Yilan doesn't care about him, you can continue talking."

Su Li looked at Qi Xiaochen nervously, then continued: "What the second master said makes sense. Because there is no suitable job for them outside, they crouched at home and wasted their time. The daughter-in-law wanted to find a group of retired wounded soldiers first and teach them according to their aptitude. For example, those with broken legs can teach them to do craftsmanship, those with broken hands can teach them to watch the stalls and watch the night, and those with blind eyes can teach them to beat shoulders and pinch their backs or even learn musical instruments. If they can achieve results, they can be implemented all over the country. The court's pension is limited. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. The long-term way is to make them self-reliant."

Qi Jin and Qi Xiaochen's eyes lit up.

However, Qi Xiaochen immediately questioned: "You are so light and skillful. Are musical instruments so easy to learn? Especially for musical instruments, you may not be able to master them even if you have good eyes. How can you learn if you are blind?"

Su Li said calmly: "There is nothing difficult in the world. I am afraid that those who are determined can do everything in one go. If everything can be accomplished overnight, then everyone in the world can be a general and a wealthy businessman. The so-called teaching according to their aptitude is to first explore what everyone is good at. People with talent in music can learn well even if they are blind. I will not teach them those who are not talented or have insufficient perseverance."

Qi Xiaochen shut up.

Su Li said to Qi Jin again: "Father, I have some money in my hand. I plan to hire a craftsman. The music master will teach a group of remaining soldiers. When they learn, I will open a few shops to hire them to work and do business. If you can make money, even if you make a small profit, it means that this path is feasible. Then I will send people to various places to recruit remaining soldiers who are interested in self-reliance to cultivate them. What do you think?"

Qi Jin already appreciated his daughter-in-law's talent, but now his daughter-in-law still came up with such a kind act that would benefit the wounded soldiers of the court. In Qi Jin's eyes, his daughter-in-law is no longer a human being, but a fairy!

"My ancestors of my old family have accumulated virtue, so that my second son has the honor to marry you, a good wife!"

Qi Jin gave his daughter-in-law the highest evaluation he could think of.

Su Li lowered her head modestly.

Qi Xiaochen looked at his wife next to him, feeling that his father was suspected of praising her and belittled him, and he also reexamined his wife for the first time.

All generals are very caring and polite to their soldiers. Qi Xiaochen, like Qi Jin, hopes that the wounded soldiers can live a comfortable life.

Not to mention anything else, if his wife can really do this, Qi Xiaochen will also look at her with admiration from now on.

After the father and son admired Su Li, Qi Jin spoke to Su Li: "You have a good idea. I will support you with my father. Don't touch your money. If you need it, go directly to Uncle Li to ask for it. You can use whatever you want."

Su Li was moved and said, "My father is the real love for soldiers as a son. He didn't need much silver in the early stage. He just needed to hire a craftsman and provide a teaching venue. Father, you and the second master went out early and returned late. Our martial arts training ground is almost idle at ordinary times. It is just right to clean up as a teaching venue. My daughter-in-law thought, why don't you recruit a group of young wounded soldiers first and let them live in our mansion?"

Qi Xiaochen thought this idea was good. The martial arts training ground was located on the cross-yard on the east side of the Hou Mansion, and it was far from the inner courtyard. There was no need to worry that the wounded soldiers would disturb the female family.

Qi Jin hesitated: "I'm afraid they will make trouble, your elder brother is upset when he hears it."

Qi Jin treated his two sons equally. After the eldest son was injured, Qi Jin fell in love with his eldest son a little bit. When encountering things related to the eldest son, Qi Jin had to think more about it.

Su Li was prepared and whispered: "Don't my father think that the eldest brother is the most important wounded soldier we should motivate?"

Qi Jin looked at his daughter-in-law in disbelief: "Do you have a way to cheer up your elder brother?"

Su Li smiled and said, "I thought about the solution, but I just don't know if it can work."

Qi Jinqi said: "What method?"

Su Li shook her head and said playfully: "Daughter-in-law Rong will keep her at ease, and you will know then."

It’s good that there is hope. Qi Jin fully supports his daughter-in-law and asks her to let go.

After discussing the details, Su Li and Qi Xiaochen surrendered.

The couple in name was walking side by side. Qi Xiaochen looked at Su Li's beautiful side face and thought that she was preparing to help her elder brother regain her power. For some reason, Qi Xiaochen became more and more uncomfortable when he thought about it. Recalling this period, Qi Xiaochen suddenly found that his wife had dealt with his elder brother a lot. Is the eldest brother really not selfish at all when he sent her to defend herself? Now she proposed to take care of the wounded soldiers, how many points were to cheer up the elder brother?

"How do you want to help my elder brother?" Qi Xiaochen asked.

Su Li didn't even look at him and said, "This matter cannot be leaked in advance, otherwise it will not have the effect I want. Besides, it may not work. Second Master is a little restless, and you will know then."

Qi Xiaochen sneered: "You are serious about your elder brother."

Su Li actually heard a hint of sourness, and she glanced at Qi Xiaochen: "I love the house and the slightest. If he was not the eldest brother of the second master, I wouldn't care about him."

Qi Xiaochen doesn't believe it! She doesn't even let him touch it, and she will love him? She is almost the same as having a fancy to the eldest brother!

"Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. The injured soldiers outside have a difficult family. You teach them how to make money and they are motivated. My brother has no worries about food and clothing. What can you use to attract him?"

Su Li just didn't say it, and continued to keep it insincere.

——

With Qi Jin's support, a group of remnants of soldiers soon moved in with the Guanxi Marquis Mansion, a total of twenty-five. The youngest was only eighteen years old and the older one was forty.

Accompanied by Uncle Li, the chief manager of the Hou Mansion, Su Li brought six masters to check what aspects of everyone's talent was.

The six masters were selected by Su Li, one was a wood carving master, one was a jewelry master, one was a accountant who taught people to settle accounts, one was a musician who was good at various musical instruments, the other was a doctor who massaged others in the clinic, and the last was a literati who sold many popular scripts in Beijing.

Six masters set up stalls in the martial arts training ground, and twenty-five remaining soldiers tried in turn.

The first five masters, Uncle Li, understood that he taught people craftsmanship. He pointed to the literati who wrote the script with the largest style of hand-cranking folding fans, and curiously asked Su Li: "They are all martial artists, and they don't know a few big words. How could the wife think of teaching them to write the script?"

Su Li smiled and said, "Think about it, all literati write about talented men and beautiful women. They have never experienced the golden swords and iron horses on the battlefield. The random make-up must not have experienced the wonderful experiences. If there are some of these remaining soldiers who are good at telling stories, then he only needs to tell orally let others write them. As long as the story is wonderful, it is a way to make money."

Uncle Li understood and admired the second wife more and more.

At the end of the day, the twenty-five remaining soldiers each worshiped their masters and began to learn in a good manner.

After Qi Xiaochen and Qi Jin came to the competition venue to watch it, they were all very pleased to see that everyone was studying in a strong atmosphere.

Just leave the competition venue to Uncle Li to watch. Su Li would occasionally go over and take a look. For the rest of the time, Su Li locked herself in the study and buried her head in preparing the gift she gave to Qi Lingyun.

Qi Xiaochen guessed right. The remaining soldiers in the competition are all Su Li's guise. The only thing she really wanted to motivate was Qi Lingyun. The only thing Qi Xiaochen guessed wrong was Su Li's motive.

The author has something to say: Qi Xiaochen: Brother, have you cuckolded me?

Qi Lingyun: How is that possible?

Qi Xiaochen: Then you swear!
