Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Undercurrent of Commercial Water
In Shangshui County, five tributes were released, and one or two were impressively listed, and everyone was in high spirits. Where did I think of a disgusting news that Lu Tianshou was escorted back to the county seat by the command of the local soldiers of Gaoqu Village, which made the Lu family messed up.
"Dad, what should I do?" Lu Zhenniang was panicked, the six gods have no owner, she has the best relationship with Lu Tianshou, and now Lu Tianshou has been taken by the government, which makes her frightened and at a loss.
Lu Dayou had a gloomy face, he didn't expect his son to be held by the government, and he was even more angry at his son's confusion, you just hide it honestly when you run away, wait for him to work up and down, and then come back, why do you want to buy the murderous assassin Wang Xiu? Even if you kill Wang Xiu, then your life will not be over.
Making a mistake once is forgivable, twice is forgivable, but making the same mistake twice is simply unforgivable.
Stabbing, yes, stabbing. This is completely different from the last time he hired a murderer to hurt someone, although Wang Xiu was safe and sound, but after all, it was an attempted murder. People were escorted back with great fanfare, and it was the wind and rain in the city, he couldn't help but understand it privately, not to mention that the Wang family is not what it used to be, just the identity of the first in Chenzhou's examination can't help but let the magistrate pay attention to it.
"Daddy, do you want your eldest brother to come back?" Lu Zhenniang has no master of the six gods.
"Confused, your eldest brother is doing business abroad, how can he come back when he says he will come back." Lu Dayou scolded his daughter with a gloomy face.
"That. That daughter went to beg Zhang Lang, maybe, maybe the Zhang family has a way. Lu Zhenniang was panicked, and her bewitching and gorgeous face was full of panic.
Lu Da had a toothache, and since he heard the news that his son was being escorted, his fire rushed up, and the pain made him upset.
However, he knew very well in his heart that Zhang Wenshan would never help him, since the last time Lu Tianshou attacked Wang Xiu, the Zhang family gave up on the Lu family, and the only one who had contact was his daughter.
Could it be that he sacrificed his daughter for his son? He shook off these thoughts, but it was difficult to decide, after all, she was her own daughter! Besides, even if you want to sacrifice, you have to have a way, and the Zhang family doesn't seem to value Lu Zhenniang too much.
"There's really no way, he committed the crime of homicide, who is Wang Xiu, that's the number one person in the test, if you want to assassinate the first name in the test, even Zhizhou will be furious."
Lu Zhenniang's face was pale, she took a step back, and exclaimed: "Daddy, don't scare your daughter, can't even the Zhang family be saved?" ”
Lu Dayou's heart moved, his face changed a few times, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Qiyuan won the second place, he should be able to speak, but it's a pity that Zhang Wenshan is an old fox." ”
"Wang Xiu." Lu Zhenniang remembered that in the market that day, Wang Xiu's humiliation of him should be a great humiliation in her understanding, and she couldn't help but be anxious and annoyed, her silver teeth clucked, and her pretty face became hideous.
In the past few days, Wang Xiu did not go out of the door, hid in the house to write and paint, sometimes pondering, sometimes writing hard, Wang Cheng thought that his son was preparing for the test, and suddenly felt relieved.
Youqin Mo Yan is also ashamed to hide at home, fortunately, Li Caiwei comes over to accompany him every day, the two of them talk when they are fine, make a sugar gourd to eat, and it is not lonely.
The Wang family also prepared a generous gift, and invited the matchmaker to propose to Widow Li's family, Widow Li naturally smiled, and if she didn't say anything else, she looked at the full-colored official silver, precious Shu brocade and those gold and silver jewelry, and Widow Li's mouth couldn't close.
"Mother, look at your pleasure, I don't look at the silver all day, I just touch the brocade satin, I am not tired!" Youqin Mo Yan made fun of Widow Li.
Widow Li's eyes were stunned, but she still couldn't stop laughing, and shouted: "The daughter I have raised for more than ten years, should I give it to that kid for nothing, how can I make him bleed." Saying that, he gently stroked the silky Shu brocade and sighed: "This is a serious Shu brocade, look at this kung fu, hey, eldest sister, my mother will make you a few sets of dresses." ”
Li Caiwei's eyes looked straight at the little star, biting her fingertips and envious, which girl doesn't love beauty! What's more, this high-quality Shu brocade is so luxurious.
Youqin Mo Yan glanced at Widow Li helplessly, feeling that her mother had fallen into the eyes of money, and the little citizens were full of greed, she took Li Caiwei's little hand and said softly: "Hurry up and make a beautiful dress for my sister." ”
Li Caiwei's eyes lit up, and little stars appeared in her eyes.
Widow Li glanced at her daughter, but she did like Li Caiwei, this little girl is too good at things, her hands and feet are also sharp, she coaxed her happily, and she was more willing to accompany her daughter, although she was not very reluctant, but she said generously: "That's natural, what color does the tenth sister like, the eldest lady will sew it for you by herself." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Li Caiwei was ecstatic, but she didn't refuse, can she refuse? Whoever refuses is stupid.
"Hey, I'm finally looking forward to it, when Wang Dalang comes back from Kaifeng, you will get married, and the old woman will have a heart."
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Youqin Mo Yan's face was flushed and shy......
Zhang family, Zhang Wenshan is especially happy, although his son did not get the first place, but he is also a glorious ancestor, which made him lose face, and put on a banquet for a day.
However, he still has a knot in his heart, Wang Xiu, who has always been blind, actually won the first place, and completely suppressed his son's limelight in Shangshui County.
When Lu Tianshou was escorted, he took a breath and immediately discussed with his son, saying: "Why is the kid of the Lu family so unbearable, he dares to assassinate Wang Xiu at this moment, isn't it boring?" ”
Zhang Qiyuan let out a long sigh, and said with a gloomy face: "Wang Xiu is really fateful, he frequently turned danger into disaster in Wanqiu, took the lead, and made those crazy people lose their temper, which made Lu Tianshou's calculation have no way to live." ”
Zhang Wenshan is so scheming, if he understands the words of the third child, he naturally smells the smell of conspiracy, since Lu Tianshou is an assassin, why did Wang Xiu not be damaged at all, but a few days later, Lu Tianshou was taken down, which is a bit unreasonable!
"Your third uncle is also wondering, but he doesn't want to ask too much."
Zhang Qiyuan glanced at his father strangely, and said with a smile: "Lu Tianshou is not self-sufficient, and he will not lose money if he is tricked by Wang Xiu." ”
Zhang Wenshan looked at his son in surprise, twisted his beard and smiled, and said with great relief: "It's good that you can think like this, it's better than your two brothers." ”
Zhang Qiyuan was praised, and he was secretly happy in his heart, although his two brothers were not very successful, but one was also a county official and the other was making a living in other places, and there was also a great contradiction between them.
"However, the child doesn't quite understand, how Wang Xiu escaped the assassination, it is said that Lu Tianshou ran away, and the Lu family also secretly helped, it is not difficult to invite a few killers, in addition to what Wang Xiu is around, it is those few burdens, not even a single injured, it is really strange."
Zhang Wenshan smiled indifferently and said meaningfully: "This is not the focus of concern, everyone has their own means, it doesn't take long to save the way to know their means, and they have to plan for the future!" Wang Xiu is too bewitching. ”
Zhang Qiyuan nodded seriously, if he said that before, he didn't particularly value Wang Xiu, and thought that the other party leaned on the big tree of Shen Mo, although the righteous opinion of the mind was good, but it was just a scholar's opinion, he mended the relationship with Wang Xiu and tried to become friends, but deep down he never thought that Wang Xiu was his opponent.
However, Wang Xiu's methods before and after Wanqiu really made him really pay attention to it, this is a strong opponent!
"You two may become the same year, so encourage yourself." Zhang Wenshan looked at his son with a smile and a long attitude.
Zhang Qiyuan nodded with a smile, a trace of ruthlessness flashed between his eyebrows, he knew that the struggle between him and Wang Xiu might have just begun.
Just when the father and son ended the conversation and Zhang Qiyuan was about to go out, the little attendant sneaked up and said softly: "Little official, the little lady of the Lu family asked her to send a letter, and asked the little official to meet in the evening." ”
"Hmm." Zhang Qiyuan raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
The little servant smiled obscenely and said, "Leave the door in the backyard at night, and the little lady of the Lu family sweeps the couch to greet her, is the little official?"
"She's in trouble, what do you think?"
"Or. Respond first. The little guy laughed even more obscenely.
"Then listen to you." Zhang Qiyuan's eyes rolled, and a hint of a sinister smile crossed the corner of his mouth. xh118
