Chapter 9 Recruiting Relatives
The Pang family will hold a big competition to recruit relatives at noon the next day.
Just after dawn, the Pang family's servants had already run all over Nancheng, and since the time was set last night, it was arranged, and the news quickly spread throughout Nancheng.
The family got the news one after another, and then it was spread by the servants in the mansion, and for a while the crowd of good things rushed to tell each other, for fear that they would not be able to catch up with this boom in recruiting relatives without saying a word.
By the time the sun rose in the early morning, the Pang family's recruitment of relatives had been known all over the city, and it became a sensation in the southern city.
"Hey, have you heard, the threshold of the Pang Mansion has been broken today!"
On the side of the road, a few idle people chatted. A person squatting on the stone steps swayed back and forth with his arms crossed, and his eyebrows flew and his face was full of excitement.
"Ahh I've heard a little, isn't it... The Pang family wants to recruit relatives? . ”
The other man put his hands into his sleeves and wrinkled his brow.
"Oh, what are you afraid of... This matter has spread, will the Pang family find you!" The person who threw out the topic didn't care.
"I've heard about it, I've told you that one of our guys is working on the Pang Mansion, and he told me a little bit of gossip. ”
As soon as they heard that it was gossip, several people became more interested and rushed to the man.
"Hey, what, you say it quickly"
"yes, say it. ”
When the man saw that everyone couldn't wait to look at him, he suddenly became a little angry. Squinting and clearing his throat, he poked his head into the probe, a little mysterious: "I heard... The daughter of the Pang family is a great beauty, and... And you can spell!"
"What! spell!" exclaimed as he began to speak, causing the passers-by to turn their heads.
"Shhhh
"Okay, you go on, I don't squeak. ”
"I don't know you... I'm going to tell you......"
......
I don't know how many times this kind of scene has been staged in Nancheng today, and the people are more or less afraid of these big families on weekdays, and they will not talk about the affairs of several big families. And today's news of such an interesting thing will inevitably become people's mouths.
In this way, the matter of recruiting relatives has spread far and wide, and everyone in Nancheng knows about it.
Next to the City God Temple in Nancheng, the health hall in the alley of East Street.
Yin Qiaohui, who had just gotten up in the morning, was stretching her waist in the courtyard, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the fog could be faintly seen in her breath, and the girl was rubbing her shoulders and preparing to enter the house.
As soon as I opened the door of the house, I heard the chatter of the people in the hall.
"Today, the Pang family's recruitment of relatives is really known. ”
"Isn't it..."
Yin Qiaohui was stunned for a moment, and the hand that pushed open the door froze there suddenly.
As if thinking of something, the girl suddenly looked back, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"That's... What do you say... What kind of recruitment?"
Under the eaves, two guys rubbing their hands were chatting, and they were interrupted by a girl who suddenly appeared.
The two guys looked at the girl who was running in a hurry, and looked at each other again, and for a while both of them had inexplicable looks on their faces.
Finally, one of them said tentatively:
"I heard that the Pang family recruited relatives today, and this matter is very popular... Not.. You don't know yet?"
"I ......" Yin Qiaohui didn't answer for a long time.
Since Yi Tianyun didn't say goodbye when he left, he must have his plan, and Yin Qiaohui is convinced of this.
Yin Qiaohui has always believed in Yi Tianyun since she was a child, that kind of trust is like a subconscious, without any consideration, even if Yi Tianyun lied to her, she will unswervingly support Yi Tianyun without asking anything.
All she cared about was whether Yi Tianyun would encounter danger during this trip, and when she would come back, she didn't want to know anything else.
When she knew that Yi Tianyun was saying goodbye, she felt the breathless bitterness in her chest, as if she had been abandoned.
This usually calm and quiet girl broke down that evening and couldn't cry.
Yin Qiaohui was silent for a while before answering the two.
"I just found out..."
The sun fell on her cheeks, the frowning brow slowly loosened, and the girl raised a bright smile again, which was touching.
The two looked at the girl in front of them blankly, and the beauty between the girl's eyebrows and eyes, far beyond her age, was extremely eye-catching in the sun.
"Thanks, then I won't bother you...."
Don't think about it... Just because she believes in Yi Tianyun, this is enough!
Nancheng Yibin Building.
The Pang family will recruit relatives and set up a big competition here.
Although it was not yet time, the door was already crowded, and I don't know how many young masters were waiting here.
In the Yibin Building, several people arranged tables and chairs, and a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar stood in the middle of the lobby with his hands behind his back, making final adjustments.
Suddenly, a man came in from the door, and the man avoided the servants who were carrying tables and chairs, and walked quickly towards the middle-aged man.
"Family master, I see that there are already a lot of people at the door, and even a few medium-sized families are waiting outside, when will we let them in?"
Pang Wenhan thought for a while, turned his head and instructed the man: "Wait a little longer, let them in when the door is arranged..."
"Okay... Then I'll go over there and keep it first. After saying that, he hurriedly ran out.
There were three shots on the day, and the time was also close to noon.
The gate of the outer courtyard of Yibin Building finally opened, and the people who had been waiting at the door for a long time poured in all of a sudden.
The front yard of Yibin Building, which was quiet at the last moment, was instantly full of people, and the whole venue was noisy and noisy, and even the door was blocked by the crowd watching.
I only heard someone in the crowd shouting.
"Avoid, avoid! Give the Li family a way!"
"Give the Cui family a way to get out of the way, everyone avoids it!"
There were a few gaps in the crowd that was originally shoulder to shoulder, and then surrounded by several servants, several major families in Nancheng finally appeared at the scene of recruiting relatives.
On the platform on the first floor of Yibin Building, a middle-aged man in a blue robe looked down at the crowd below, saw that the momentum was about the same, and waved his hand back.
"Bang!" a long gong sounded throughout the courtyard, and the noisy voices gradually calmed down.
"Today, it's the little girl's big match... You can come here to participate in the big competition, which is not only a recognition of the little girl and my Pang family, but also a recognition of your own vision... In any case, our Pang family would like to express our warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all of you for coming!"
A few sentences made a wonderful beginning, which won a round of applause from below.
"The contemptible Pang Wenhan is one of the hosts and responsible for this big competition. In this competition, I and my brother Pang Wubo jointly determine the results of the competition......"
"Pang Wubo! he's actually here!"
"yes, I didn't expect him to come back..."
After the second sentence, there was a lot of noise below. People exchanged heads and whispered, as if they had an opinion about this man named Pang Wubo.
"Bang!" the second gong sounded throughout the room, this time sharper.
"Quiet... Please be quiet!" Pang Wenhan laboriously presided over the crowd below.
But this time the crowd was still noisy, and people were still chattering about Pang Wubo, and for a while, the name Pang Wubo actually overshadowed the limelight of recruiting relatives.
Just when Pang Wenhan was helpless on the stage and rolled up his sleeves to say hello, he suddenly saw a small open space appear in the originally dense crowd outside the door.
The small circle slowly moved from the back to the courtyard, and when I got closer, I realized that there was only one person in the circle.
There was only one person! There was no obstruction in the walking crowd, and the obstacles of the crowd were useless.
The noisy voices of the people quieted down as the circle passed from the back, and when the man walked to the front until he stood side by side with Pang Wenhan, the crowd in the audience was as quiet as ever, and the audience was silent, all looking at the middle-aged man who came later.
The person who came was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his clothes were extremely concise, and he did not have the rich and noble dress of Pang Wenhan next to him. At first glance, it looks like a country man, but if it weren't for the slight trimming, it would really be no different from the guy.
The two stood side by side on the stage, and the man in the cloth shirt contrasted sharply with the well-dressed Pang Wenhan. But for such an abnormal two, no one in the audience talked about it.
"Ahem... I guess everyone knows me... I won't introduce myself...."The man scratched his head, not knowing what to say, Pang Wenhan sighed secretly and quietly took over the topic.
Getting back to business, Pang Wenhan continued to talk about the results of recruiting relatives.
"Of course, if there is an objection to the evaluation of the results, we will hand them over to the representatives of the Maisons on the field to evaluate them together and strive to treat all the results fairly. ”
........
The later one is Pang Wubo, who is a household name in Nancheng and has a 'reputation'.
A few years ago, when Pang Wenhan and Pang Wubo were still the sons of the family, Pang Wubo at that time was a wonder among the children of the family.
Compared with other gentlemen, Pang Wubo's performance is particularly different. He doesn't gamble or prostitute, but he doesn't like to study either, but he is very interested in martial arts.
But if it is just about practicing martial arts, it is not a bad thing for young people to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies.
But what makes Pang Wubo special is that he likes to fight with people very much, and to put it mildly, he likes to discuss moves with others and learn from each other. It's not good to say, that's a second-rate person who likes to fight!
And no matter what his family says about him, Pang Wubo is still happy to 'practice martial arts and then go out to fight'.
He was originally a son of a big family, and coupled with his unremitting training in martial arts all year round, it led to the situation that everyone in the younger generation of Nancheng was afraid of Pang Wubo at that time.
Even the children of other families with the same status are afraid of Pang Wubo, which can be seen from this.
Although Pang Wubo is reckless, he is very shrewd in private, and every time he goes out, he will bring a lot of subordinates.
When you see something unpleasant on the street, you will be beaten up and run away after the fight, never caring who the other party is.
is such a shameless scoundrel, a notorious hooligan son, but he has repeatedly received God's favor.
Later, a major event happened in Nancheng, a matter related to the current court.
It is said that at that time, the imperial court needed to send troops to guard the frontier, so it recruited troops in several major states to form this army.
And each state allocates this quota to the towns to which it belongs, and in this way the southern city gets a place.
As the saying goes, there is no coincidence that there is no book, relying on the family status in Nancheng and the personal influence at that time, Pang Wubo was selected into the reserve of the army, and the military name is the Hannan Sword Corps.
I have been there for more than 20 years, and I have come back a few times during this period, but I have avoided people's eyes and ears, and not many people know.
Many years later, Pang Wubo slowly faded out of people's memory, until today, on this occasion, reappeared in front of people!
