Chapter 108: Deng Jiulang's Absurd Order
At this moment, Liu Xingfeng was overjoyed, although Liu's father frequently hinted that he didn't want him to say those pickled dirty things so as not to stain his baby daughter's ears, but Liu Xingfeng didn't know that Liu Jing was originally a daughter, how could he pay attention to these?
Liu Jing smiled at the smile of the third uncle, she waved towards Liu Xingfeng, and said, "That nephew congratulates you on your official luck, and your wish has come true." ”
Liu Xingfeng smiled, patted Liu Jing's shoulder vigorously, and said happily: "Not bad, yes, the old man said, our Wenjing is a lucky star, since you came to Runan, your third uncle and I have been invincible." ”
After being happy for a while, Liu Xingfeng sat down, he took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Liu Jing, and asked, "Wenjing, I don't want to talk about Deng Jiulang." Uncle just wanted to ask, what are your plans in the future? ”
Liu Jing knew that the third uncle had always wanted to get himself into the officialdom and beat him. To say that when she first came to Runan, she didn't care. But now, she thinks that in this world, which official is not afraid of Deng Jiulang? It would be really meaningless for him to ask for such a petty official who could continue to be rounded and flattened by him.
After pondering for a while, Liu Jing said slowly: "My nephew has been thinking about it for a while, third uncle, if you want to strengthen the Liu family, first, the clan needs a large number of available people, second, the clan needs a lot of available wealth, and third, it also needs a network of connections in all directions. Wen Jingcai is thin, and I want to walk around to see if I can do a little bit for the century-old foundation of my Liu family. ”
Although Liu Xingfeng wholeheartedly wants to make the Liu family bigger and stronger, he has not thought so clearly about how to do it. Hear her say this at this moment. Liu Xingfeng's eyes lit up. He looked at Liu Jing happily and nodded frequently. Satisfied, he said, "Good boy, good boy!" In a blink of an eye, he looked at Father Liu. snorted and said, "In my opinion, Wenjing should be my child!" ”
Hearing Liu Xingfeng say this, Liu's father smiled bitterly, he stared at his daughter, and was about to speak, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.
At this time, Liu Xingfeng approached Liu Jing and asked expectantly, "Wenjing, you have even thought about the direction." Do you have an idea of how to do it? ”
Liu Jing shook her head and frowned: "My nephew just has this idea, and he is still confused when he does this." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, such a family event, even if Wenjing completes half of it in his life, it is a great credit." This is a fact, Liu Jing nodded.
Then. Liu Xingfeng thought of last night's incident, and laughed again, he said to Liu Jing: "Wenjing, last night's incident." Have you heard? ”
This time, as soon as he said this, Father Liu coughed beside him. Said to Liu Jing: "Wenjing, my medicine is ready." Go and bring it to the Father. ”
When Liu Jing looked up, Father Liu winked at her. That meant motioning for her to get out of here.
So, in Liu Xingfeng's dissatisfied muttering, Liu Jing stood up, she saluted Liu Xingfeng, and said apologetically: "Third uncle, wait a while, Wenjing will go back when he goes." With that, she retreated.
Until she retreated to the door, Liu Xingfeng's dissatisfied voice was still coming, "I said the eighth, what's the matter with you?" Where did I offend you when I talked to the juniors, and I wanted you to interrupt halfway like this? I'm Wenjing's uncle and his helmsman, and you're doing this to make me lose my prestige in front of my juniors......"
As for how Liu's father answered, Liu Jing couldn't hear it clearly.
Liu's father asked her to step down, and Liu Jing also stepped down. She got into her carriage and said to the driver, "Go to the gate of Qian Shi's mansion and see how the situation is." ”
The man and the other guards were all people who participated in last night's incident, and when they heard Liu Jing's words, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to respond: "Yes." "It turns out that Da Lang is also curious? Ha Luha, this half a day's work has tickled me to death. ”
Amid laughter, the carriage walked unhurriedly towards the street ahead.
Qian Xi's wife had a strong dowry, so Qian Xi's mansion was also built in the northern city of Runan, where powerful people gathered, and every inch of land was valuable. When Liu Jing and her party arrived, they saw that the Qian Mansion was full of carriages, and hundreds of servants were constantly moving things out of the mansion and putting them in the carriage.
Last night, Qian Xi's incident was too big, and there are really a lot of people watching the excitement outside at the moment. When Liu Jing stopped, there were discussions all around, "The Xia family is determined this time, and even the dowry has to be moved, it seems that the matter of peace and separation is a foregone conclusion." "Nonsense, it must have been reconciled, so the dowry was transferred." "Speaking of which, the Xia family is both handsome and single-minded about Qian Xi. It's a pity that Qian shows that this person is too shameless. "Yes, I didn't know there were such people in the world."
In the midst of the discussion, Xia's dowry was almost moved. I saw a sound of footsteps, and several middle-aged men dressed decently walked out with Xia.
The one who was supported by two richly dressed women left and right was the Xia family with a pale face, and the whole person seemed to fall down as soon as the wind blew. Under the sunlight, Xia's eyelids were swollen, and there was also water in his eyes, apparently he had just cried. But contrary to her expression, it was her eyes, her eyes drooping slightly, with a bit of determination and hatred in her eyes.
Helping Xia Shi into the carriage, this mighty team began to start. With the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground, there was a heavy sound, and in the blink of an eye, Xia Shi and the others slowly left from the alley with endless smoke and dust.
As soon as Xia's team left, a group of people watching the excitement were also leaving. Liu Jing was just about to leave when she heard someone ask, "Hey, where is Qian Xi and his outer room?" Why is it gone? ”
A voice laughed: "Those two people, they are not only colluding with the flower thief, but they don't know how many hurtful things they have done behind their backs." Qian Xian is an official, although he was only interrogated and not imprisoned, he was kicked out of the yamen, and now he is white. The woman was still being interrogated in prison. ”
"I heard that there is a mongrel in the belly of the outer room, I wonder if Qian Xi will redeem her?"
"I heard that it will be redeemed. However, the woman's reputation was ruined to this point, and the money was also lost, and the rest of the family's wealth was taken away by the Xia family. You don't know what to do, the Xia family is also a ruthless person, she hung her dowry, and even this house is hers. As for the child born to the two, he was sentenced to be the Xia family. That money has been an official for many years. He was left empty-handed. In my opinion, the present reputation is shown with money. If he wants to live with the outer room, he can only leave Runan and return to the countryside. It was only through that incognito poor life that it was achieved. ”
Hearing this, Liu Jing said, "Okay, let's go around casually." ”
"Yes."
Everyone was very satisfied when they saw the excitement here, so this response was also very refreshing.
The carriage turned a corner and headed for Runan Street.
Looking at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street, it was clear that Deng Jiulang had only left for a few days, but Liu Jing felt that several months had passed.
Just now. She swore in front of Liu Xingfeng, and she was reasonable, but what to do next, in fact, she really didn't think about it. Leaving Runan is certain, but when to leave and where to go after leaving, she has not thought about it until now.
After pondering for a while, Liu Jing sighed lightly and said, "Stop." I want to go for a walk. ”
"Yes."
Liu Jing walked for two or three hours. When she was tired, she rested in the restaurant, ordered a glass of wine casually, took a few sips, and regained her strength. He wandered aimlessly.
I don't know how long it took, but one of the guards came over and whispered, "Dalang." It's getting late. ”
Liu Jing saw that the sun had sunk into the horizon. The last wisps of the sun are dissipating, immediately. Night is about to envelop Runan City.
Nodding, Liu Jing said, "Then let's go back." ”
"Yes."
After going back, Liu Jing took a bath, and after blowing the flute for a while, she stepped on the moonlight and came to Liu's father's study.
Liu's father has always had the habit of reading at night, and their family has the more than 2,000 taels of gold they got from Wu County as a foundation, so they don't do anything in this life, and the family can also have no worries about food and clothing. So you don't have to be as frugal as when you were in Wu County, the candle Liu Father can afford to use it.
Hearing his daughter's footsteps, Liu's father called softly, "Come in." ”
"Yes." Liu Jing walked in.
Father Liu beckoned to her and said, "Jing'er, pour wine for your father." ”
"Yes."
While Liu Jing was busy unhurriedly, Liu's father suddenly asked, "Have you decided to leave Runan?" When to go? ”
Liu Jing's movements froze, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I should leave in these days." ”
Father Liu smiled and said: "Since I haven't thought about it, let's go on a study tour, go to Kaifeng and Luoyang, Chang'an, take a walk, see the scenery of various places, and make a few more Confucian friends." ”
Liu Jing was stunned, and after a pause for a long time, she said in a low voice: "I'll think about it again." ”
Almost as soon as her words fell, a rush of footsteps came, and after a while, Liu Xingfeng's voice came from afar, "Are you here?" ”
"Your Excellency is in the study."
"Where's Wenjing?"
"Da Lang is at your lord's."
"Okay, I'll go over by myself." As he spoke, Liu Xingfeng's pace quickened, and after a while, when he came to the outside of the study, he stopped and ordered the people he had brought, "You guys are outside." ”
"Yes."
In response, Liu Xingfeng squeaked and pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered, he brought with him a cool air of the night. Looking at Liu Xingzhou and Liu Jing's gaze, his face was a little complicated.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Liu Jing stood up, and after she gave a salute, she hurriedly asked, "Third uncle, is something happening?" ”
Liu Xingfeng nodded, he sat down on the other side of the couch, stretched out his hand to take the wine that Liu Jing offered, and after raising his head and taking a big sip, he put the wine cup on the table, turned to Liu Jing and asked solemnly: "Wenjing, tell your third uncle frankly, what is the relationship between you and that Deng Jiulang?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jing's father and daughter were stunned. After glancing at her father, Liu Jing turned to Liu Xingfeng and replied in a deep voice, "We have known each other since we were in Wu County. ”
Liu Xingfeng frowned and asked, "Do you have a personal relationship?" ”
Liu Wenjing is a 'man', and Deng Jiulang is also a man, no matter what outsiders say, it is clear that it is a big loss of decency for an uncle to ask such a question. At that moment, Father Liu shouted: "Xingfeng, what are you talking nonsense? ”
"Am I talking nonsense?" A wry smile appeared on Liu Xingfeng's square face, and he said: "I'm afraid that tomorrow, the entire Runan, the entire Yuzhou, will ask this sentence." ”
Father Liu was startled, he sat up straight, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Xingfeng smiled bitterly, he took out a roll of paperwork from his sleeve pocket and threw it on Liu's father's bookcase. said, "This is what Master Zhang handed to me." It is said that it is a letter sent by the flying pigeon, and there is an official seal on it. It is a formal officialdom document. ”
After Father Liu and his daughter glanced at each other, they didn't wait for Liu Jing to stretch out her hand. He took the paper and flipped through it.
After a glance, Father Liu stood up, and in the candlelight, his face changed greatly, and he was so angry that he was almost trembling, "How can this be true, what a reason!" ”
When Liu Jing saw it, she was shocked, and she hurriedly asked, "Father." What happened? ”
Father Liu didn't know what annoyed her, and after glaring at her, he threw the document over and shouted, "See for yourself." ”
Liu Jing hurriedly took it.
Unfolding the paperwork, she saw a densely stamped letter with six personal or official seals. And on the letter, hundreds of words were written in a sharp and murderous pen, "Liu Wenjing, the former Yanghe clan of Wu County." Now moved to Runan, his family has a father, a mother and two sisters, the father's name is Liu Xingzhou, and the eldest sister's name is Liu Jing. The second sister's name is Liu Xuan.
In the fourteenth year of Zhang He, Liu Wenjing voluntarily sold himself to Deng Qing in Nanyang, and later remembered his high merits. Break the deed. In the fifteenth year of Zhang He, Liu Wenjing worshiped Nanyang Deng Qing with his talent. For its door clearing.
Liu Wenjing is a person, intelligent and wise. Extremely won the heart of Deng Qinglang. Today, Deng Qinglang warned the world that Liu Wenjing would end his life, and his marriage and behavior would need to go through his master. If there is someone who dares to help, Deng Qinglang will never die! ”
Behind such a letter with absurd words, but with an astonishing weight of seals, there was a note, on which only two lines of words were written, the words were quite cold and murderous, "Order Liu Wenjing to divorce his wife and go to his concubine within 30 days, otherwise, he will raze his nine clans." Order Liu Wenjing, Liu Jing, in this life, without the permission of Deng Qinglang, no marriage, violators, the nine clans! ”
Behind this note, there are still densely packed, one by one stamps, and like the letters, the names represented by these stamps, each of which is a character who trembles when he stomps his feet......
Seeing this note and this letter, Liu Jing's first thought was: Deng Jiulang should still be on his way back to Luoyang at the moment, I don't know where he got the seals of these big people? But in a blink of an eye, she thought of those Jin Wuwei, as well as Qiansan and others.
At this moment, it was quiet in the study.
Liu Xingfeng stared at Liu Jing, who was in a cold sweat on the tip of her nose, but her face was angry, and said with a wry smile: "This letter and note were sent from the most formal channels, and when they arrived in my hands, there were already thirteen people who had reviewed them. ”
After a pause, he muttered again: "Although Deng Jiulang is young, he is also a character, but the content of his letter and note is really ridiculous...... forced Wen Jing to divorce his wife and go to the concubine, if Wen Jing refused, he said that he wanted Wen Jing's nine clans. And not only does he have to manage Wenjing's marriage, but he also has to manage Wenjing's sister Ajing's marriage. Also, it's just a trivial matter of marriage and behavior, and he will let out words that will not die. Well, when I saw this letter, all the adults were stunned. If it weren't for the seal on the back, it would have been impossible to forge it, and everyone would almost have thought it was a joke made by someone. ”
He really couldn't think of it, and he really had a headache, and he couldn't help but rub his brows frequently. Liu Xingfeng has experienced a lot of things in his life, but it is the first time he has seen such a ridiculous thing and doing such a ridiculous thing with such a high standard. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was made up by someone just from the mouth of someone else.
There are many things that Liu Xingfeng can't figure out, as far as he knows, Wenjing's sister Liu Jing is married, according to this Deng Jiulang's meaning, not only Wenjing wants to divorce his wife and concubine, but his sister is also going to divorce her husband? But in this world, is there an absurd thing that forces other women's women to leave?
At this moment, Liu Jing's father and daughter have not yet spoken.
Liu's father was stunned, and Liu Jing was dizzy and had not yet woken up.
Liu Xingfeng looked at them and said, "Xingzhou, nephew Wenjing, although the content of this letter and note is absurd, it is really true. When this uncle came, he verified it. In fact, not only my uncle, but also several other adults have tested it after they got it, and it is indeed true...... The old man is so old, he really hasn't seen a person like Deng Jiulang, although he is the son of a powerful person, but in the past few years, he has been decisive, and he has also gained a lot of fame in the world. But this letter, this letter...... "He really didn't know what to say, so he sighed frequently."
