Chapter 53: For the sake of thought

Seeing him come over, the general beckoned to him again.

Liuliulang galloped on his horse and saluted the generals who called him.

"Cabinet position."

The general laughed, and said to everyone while pointing to Liuliulang.

"At that time, the grain and grass were in an emergency, and there was no way to retreat and no difficulty, that is, Zhou Shiban led twenty people to raid the broken mountain, and obtained a grain storage place for the western thieves, which not only consumed the western thieves, but also filled us."

Hearing this, everyone was amazed and amazed.

"The cabinet is praised, it is the scouts who make profits, and the soldiers are brave." Saturday Lang said, not the slightest smug in the face of the praise.

can fight well, and not take credit, this is simply a model for the young generation!

The more such young people, the better!

These words attracted a lot of praise, and the generals went to the official hall for a moment of laughter.

Walking to the streets of the inner city, the families of the generals greeted each other, and the beautiful wives and concubines were lively and crying, laughing and laughing, which was not inferior to the outside of the city.

"Rokuro, Rokuro."

Liu Liulang, who was walking in the crowd and was laughing with the uncles and brothers of the Zhou family who came to greet him, was stunned when he heard the sound, turned his head to look, and saw Xu Sigen looking over with a smile in the crowd on the side.

Seeing him come over, Xu Sigen clasped his fists and saluted, making a gesture of welcome.

What is it?

Do you also treat yourself as a relative?

Liu Liulang was a little uncomfortable, and when he hesitated, Xu Sigen turned around and walked away.

Actually, he doesn't have any relatives anymore...

When he came, he was the only one left.

Looking at the back of the person who was slowly walking away in the crowd, Liuliulang's heart was sour.

"Rokuro!"

Someone tapped him on the shoulder and shouted.

Saturday Lang came back to his senses.

"Come on, General Zhong is going to see you." One of the older brothers said.

Saturday Lang nodded. looked at the generals in front of them and stepped into the official hall. He also hurriedly stepped forward. When he entered the door, he looked back again, and Xu Sigen was no longer visible on the street.

When night fell, the celebration banquet in the official hall was in full swing, and countless fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the brilliant fireworks made those who were drunk couldn't help but look up.

"It's really high, isn't it?"

Someone whispered in his ear.

Saturday Lang hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Zhong Chengbu, he hurriedly dropped the wine bowl to give a gift.

Zhong Chengbu reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and stood up to look at the sky.

"This is the best and latest fireworks of the Li family that was specially sent from the capital in an urgent manner." He laughed. Raising his finger and pointing at the night sky, "It's just to celebrate today." ”

Saturday Lang said thank you to the general.

Zhong Chengbu turned his head to look at him and smiled.

"Yes, whether it is the Divine Arm Bow or the Servant Whom you, the emperor personally promoted, have lived up to their name." He said.

"Thank you, General, for the compliment." Saturday Lang plastic surgery ceremony.

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve, and it's not like you if I like it, there are good things in the capital again." Zhong Chengbu smiled, "Do you want to try it again?" Maybe you can get two levels higher. ”

"One luck is enough. I'd better leave it to someone else. Saturday Lang said with a tense face.

Zhong Chengbu laughed.

"It's awkward for a child." He said, "Alright. Pack up, follow me into Beijing to make contributions, and by the way, bring back the new things that are said to make 10,000 people cry when they sound. ”

With that, he lifted his feet and walked away.

Performers?

Liuliulang was a little surprised, and looked at Zhong Chengbu, who turned around and went to drink with many generals.

Enter Beijing.......

A victory made the New Year's Eve in the entire northwest lively, and everyone on the street looked relaxed.

The crackling sound of firecrackers in the alley never stopped from morning to night.

"There was a better time."

Xu Sigen, who was sitting in the yard and mending a pair of shoes with his own hands, said.

In the courtyard sat four or five children in new winter coats, listening to him with wide eyes.

"Uncle Xu, is there anything better?" They asked in unison.

"Yes, half of the realm has been swept away now, and the other half will be swept away in the future, we will be strong and strong, so that the western thieves will no longer dare to attack easily, regardless of winter, summer, spring and autumn, the people are not worried, that is a better and stable day." Xu Sigen said.

Outside the door, two women came in carrying a pot of meat, which smelled of meat, and attracted the children to hula.

"Master Xu." One of the women next door said, "All this meat has been stewed for you." ”

Xu Sigen hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and beckoned the children who were already drooling to eat.

"How this is made, how is this made." The two women refused and drove the children out, "The one that Lord Xu gave us hasn't eaten yet, why do you still come to eat yours." ”

Xu Sigen smiled.

A woman's sharp eyes saw the work in Xu Sigen's hand, and she suddenly became anxious again.

"Master Xu, how can you move the needle and thread in this New Year!" She shouted.

"It's broken, just idle to repair." Xu Sigen said.

The women put down the pot, shouted and snatched it, and repeatedly told the rules of the New Year.

"You men don't remember that." A woman said, hesitating, "Master Xu, it's not too young, I don't know what kind of lady I want to find to start a family..."

Xu Sigen smiled.

"I'm not going to start a family." He said.

It's not easy to find such a rich, powerful and good man, if you don't have a family, you actually have to pick carefully, the two women glanced at each other, and they had the heart to be a matchmaker again, and a light cough came from outside the door.

The people in the courtyard looked over and saw a young man standing with his hands down.

The young man looked extraordinary in his dress, and the two women hurriedly bowed their heads and said goodbye in a panic.

"Zhou Shiban, why are you here?" Xu Sigen said with a smile, stretching out his hand to invite, "Come in and sit down." ”

Liuliulang didn't come in, just stood by the door.

"I'm going to the capital, do you have anything to bring over?" He asked.

Xu Sigen was stunned for a moment, and then nodded happily.

"Yes, yes, wait a minute, I'll go get it." He said.

Liu Liulang stood at the gate of the courtyard, and saw that the children in the neighborhood around him were even more uncomfortable, so he raised his feet and walked in. While waiting, I looked at the garden.

The yard was very clean. But I don't know if it's an illusion. I always feel a little desolate, because of the lack of popularity.

Xu Sigen walked out with a big burden.

"Then there is a labor ban." He said with a smile, "It's all divided inside, for the eldest brother, and for the younger sister." ”

Saturday Lang hummed, and the relatives on the side hurriedly reached out to take it.

There was a moment of silence in the courtyard.

"Why didn't you get married?" Saturday Lang asked suddenly.

Xu Sigen didn't expect him to ask this, he was stunned, and then smiled.

"Nothing. I just want them to be alone underground, and I don't want to be too busy around me. "But maybe when you're older, you'll want to start a family again." ”

Speaking of which, I smiled and saluted.

"Thank you for your concern." He said.

Liuliulang hummed a little uncomfortably, turned and walked away, took a few steps and stopped by the door.

"That's not right, I think, they don't like you to be alone." He said.

After saying that, he hurried out, turned over and got on the horse, and went away without waiting for Xu Sigen to come out.

……………………………………………………………

Although it is already the tenth day of the first month. But the flavor of the New Year in Beijing is still the same, and with the upcoming fifteenth watch, it will be lively.

"When the time comes, there will be colored lights on the streets. The emperor will also come out to rejoice with the people. ”

In the courtyard, the servants gathered in twos and threes to talk and laugh.

They are all people brought by Mrs. Cheng from Jiangzhou, and they haven't visited the capital since they entered Beijing.

"Miss Banqin said, let the family go to see it when the time comes."

Thinking of this, several people were excited.

"Miss Banqin has already made people tie the color building."

Although it has only been a short time, the girl in the family has been talking about it, and the second lady Cheng and the old man have fallen behind.

It's no wonder that they are like this, the food and clothing at home are all in the hands of others, even if they don't want to mention it, they have to mention it.

The most important thing is that she is generous and does not have much to do, as long as you dare to open your mouth, she will dare to give.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to see if the big lady has swept over there?" A servant woman lifted her foot and walked away when she thought of something.

Several people reached out and grabbed her.

"You're late, how many people are staring at the big lady, it's your turn to sell it." Everyone laughed.

Since the dustpan money was divided by those five people that night, there have been obviously more people near Cheng Jianniang's yard, not to mention the servant women, even the second Mrs. Cheng has not gone less.

"Someone, someone, someone."

The voice of Second Master Cheng came from the main hall, and the servant woman outside the courtyard gate hurriedly dispersed, and then saw a servant woman hurrying out.

"The lord wants to invite the lady to meet the guests?"

Banqin asked with a frown.

"What kind of guest is coming? But relatives? ”

How can the female relatives of the eunuchs easily meet foreign guests, only relatives and friends who are in love with relatives can meet each other.

This second master Cheng in the capital has no relatives.

"It's a friend of the master." The girl bowed her head and said.

"What friend?" Banqin frowned even more, "It's only been a few days since I had a good friend in the Tong family?" ”

This second master Cheng is too easy to make friends, right?

There are more people who want to see the lady, if such a random friendship comes to meet, this day can't be passed?

Cheng Jianniang came out when she heard the voice, and Banqin reluctantly followed.

Mrs. Cheng Er, with Cheng Siniang, Wu Niang, Qi Niang and Cheng Wulang, has already come, and is saluting the two men present.

When I heard the girl say that the eldest lady was coming, there was silence in the lively hall.

And Cheng Er also had a momentary knot.

It stands to reason that Cheng Jianniang is at home for four, but she has never shouted like this, and suddenly shouted like this, what did the daughters who had already seen the ceremony say?

Before he could think about it, the two of them had already gotten up.

"Mrs. Cheng." They said with a smile.

Cheng Jianniang bent down to salute.

"These are the two uncles of the Imperial Court." Cheng Er said with a straight face.

"I've seen two uncles." Cheng Jianniang said.

The two of them nodded with a smile, and after seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Cheng took the children and retreated.

"These two will definitely be invited, Jiaojiao, you can go with me." Second Mrs. Cheng said, ignoring Cheng Qiniang pulling her sleeves on the side, and said with a smile, "Siniang, they are relatively young, and they are coming to the capital for the first time, so as not to be timid." ”

"Okay." Cheng Jianniang said.

Second Mrs. Cheng smiled, and said that this woman was weird, where was weird, it was so easy to talk.

And the hosts and guests who sat down again in this hall were also smiling.

"You're so blessed." One of the men said with a smile, and affectionately called Cheng Er's words, "The wife is harmonious and happy." ”

Second Master Cheng was busy talking about where he was, but he couldn't hide the pride on his face, and ordered people to set up a banquet.

"Hey, let's talk about a feast." The other man thought of something, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Since you have come to the heavy house, you must taste the most authentic passing immortals." ”

Second Master Cheng was slightly stunned.

Passing Immortals...

"Yes, yes, this passing fairy is important to your family." The previous man laughed.

Speaking of this, Second Master Cheng's face was a little ugly.

Immortal Residence, Taipingju, Pharmacy, oh yes, and the Li family's fireworks, what was sent was not just fireworks, he could see that the maid also accepted a bonus contract!

The property, the money, the food and clothing at home, the almost smiling face of his wife, and the groveling of the servant, he pretended not to see it these days, but could he really treat it as if he couldn't see it?

This is his home! But the house is controlled by a handmaiden! What a system!

Since they were friends, Second Master Cheng did not hide his unhappiness and raised the tea bowl.

"Brother Zhigao, it's a joke." He said with a bit of sourness, "That's not mine." ”

The two men looked at each other.

"What's more, why are you shouting poor with us!" The man who was called Zhigao laughed, "I won't lend your money, don't worry." ”

"However, most importantly, I still want to ask you for a favor when I go to the Immortal Residence to eat and leave a private room." The other laughed.

Cheng Er's face was even more ugly when he was said.

"Where did I do the Lord." He said, putting the bowl down, "It's not mine." ”

"Seriously, isn't this your eldest lady?" The man seemed a little strange and asked with a straight expression.

"Yes." Second Master Cheng said reluctantly.

"Then since it's your eldest lady, isn't it your family." The man looked at him and smiled, "What's yours is naturally yours." ”

Second Master Cheng frowned and was about to speak, but the man in front of him raised his hand to stop him.

"Seriously, since you call us brothers, there are some things that we have to say as brothers." The man said solemnly, "Don't say these words again." ”

"What?" Second Master Cheng frowned.

"Those industries are not your words." Another man said.

"That's not meant to be..."Second Master Cheng said unhappily.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"Heavy! Those industries are written in the name of your eldest lady! The man in front of him raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "Now that you are still alive, you must not say this in front of others, otherwise you will put the name of the eldest lady and unfilial piety!" ”

Second Master Cheng was stunned and looked at this man.

"Heavy." Another man stretched out his hand and patted his arm, "The sage has a saying, parents are saved, there is no private wealth, the law is fixed, and father and son have no different wealth." [Note 1]

Father and son are no different from wealth!

Second Master Cheng's eyes turned to him again.

The man reached out and patted his arm.

"Heavy." He said earnestly, "For the sake of love, you have to be careful. ”
