Chapter 12 The wind rises and blows a pool of spring water

He knew that the servants had taken away their clothes, belts, shoes, and other things under the pretext of washing them, and there must be something behind them. didn't take the initiative to break it, to a large extent, it was because of the little fat man Ren Cong's enthusiasm to help him. And the eldest lady Ren Yingying came to the door early in the morning, wronged him for being a liar without asking, and tried to teach him a lesson, but it touched his scales. Therefore, the face that should be saved for the little fat man Ren Cong can no longer be kept, so he can only immediately lift the lid, so that Ren Yingying will have round eyes and take a closer look at who is calculating whom? !

As a result, when the words fell, the family generals Ren Quan, Ren Wu, Ren Liu, and San, immediately hid their necks and shrunk their heads, looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and no one refused to meet him.

As the first to discover that Master Zhang's clothes were not "ordinary", the three of them participated in almost all conspiracies against the latter. Everyone knew clearly in their hearts that those clothes and shoes, which were rare in the world, were sent to Chang'an by Ren Fudi, the chief steward of Zhuangzi, and handed over to the shopkeepers, buyers and craftsmen of all the shops under the Ren family, and carefully traced their manufacturing processes, materials used, and sources of purchase. So, for a while, how can you have to come back?

But the eldest lady Ren Yingying didn't know the twists and turns behind this. I thought that the clothes, shoes and socks that Zhang Qian said were just brocade robes, silk robes, Luo socks, leather boots and other common luxury goods on the market. So he immediately came to his senses again, grabbed his little man's waist with one hand, and commanded loudly with his head held high: "Ren Quan, return his rags to him." Although our Ren family is not very rich and rich, we will not be greedy for a few of his clothes. Ask the servant woman in the house where she has dried it and thrown it into the old pile. Give it back to him! Didn't he deny that he was a liar? Hurry up and return his rags and ask him to leave! ”

"This ......" Ren Quan, Ren Wu and Ren Liu, their faces turned purple with shame, and they really wished that a crack suddenly cracked on the floor, so that they could have a place to drill.

"Why don't you squeak, you're dumb? Are you really greedy for his ......" After a long time of hearing the response of the generals and the family, Ren Yingying finally realized that the situation was wrong, and her voice turned sharply lower, "Impossible, there must be something hidden here!" It's my brother, it's my brother who told you to make excuses for him, isn't it?! ”

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, I'm back. I got you all the places and hands, and I also helped you get a piece of Yongye Field! Just when he was embarrassed, the voice of the little fat man Ren Cong suddenly sounded from the courtyard, with the same enthusiasm as ever, "The household registration is in Weinan County." It is all the government that compiles the accounts, and no matter who picks it in the future, it will not be able to pick out the ......" (Note 1: Passing through the office is the road guide, which is equivalent to a pass to go south and north. The hand is a household registration book, on which is written the name, appearance, family information, and the location of Yongye Tian. Accounting is the official filing of the account. ）

Suddenly, he saw Guo Shaolan, a woman in green standing outside the door crying and wiping her tears, and four grizzled maids, and his voice stopped abruptly. Three steps and two steps rushed into the outhouse, and asked Ren Yingying eagerly: "Second sister, when did you arrive?" Why didn't you tell me? You, you didn't hurt Brother Zhang! He's my guest, you'......"

Ren Yingying had already put away most of her arrogance before, but after hearing her brother enter the door, she didn't ask about her safety, but first asked if she had hurt outsiders, and she was angry again.

Immediately, he raised a pair of willow eyebrows and interrupted sharply: "Distinguished guest? What's your rule? I don't even have a household registration in Datang, how much more expensive can it be?! Half a month ago, the city was full of heads, have you forgotten?! You dare to take this kind of drifter of unknown origin to your home. Do you dislike your long life, or do you think Grandpa, Auntie, we, get in the way of your eyes?! (Note 2: Floating Wanderers, i.e., ruffians, black households, the Tang Dynasty's name for lumpenproletarians.) ）

In a few words, the knife was bloody, and almost every knife was cut at Zhang Qian's most "fatal" position.

Datang is the richest country in the world, and Chang'an is the capital of Datang. In these years, the Koreans, Japanese, and Persians who want to settle in the Tang Dynasty are like carp crossing the river. If anyone can get a Tang household registration, even if it is a farmer, their parents will be able to walk with their necks on their backs in their hometown in the future.

And half a month ago, the crown prince Li Chongjun was surrounded by his subordinates and failed to commit suicide to apologize. Hundreds of civil and military officials followed suit and lost their heads. At this time, every household avoids unfamiliar faces, and only fools will lead unknown people to their homes. In case he accidentally takes in a prince and the rest of the party, the fool loses his head and doesn't say anything, and the whole family has to follow the distribution and fill the army!

Therefore, after saying a few words, Ren Yingying immediately felt angry. The corners of his mouth were raised, waiting for his brother to apologize in a low voice as he did when he took in the liar but was exposed by himself.

Unexpectedly, today's Ren Cong seemed to be a "ghost obsessed with his mind", so he immediately widened his eyes and shouted loudly: "Nonsense, Brother Zhang is not a wanderer!" He just doesn't have a Datang household registration! If he is really the prince's remnant, how can he not even speak Tang Yan?! Grandpa handed over this Zhuangzi to me to take care of, here is what I say! I don't need you to guide me! ”

"I don't need to tell me! If I hadn't watched it for you, I would have been deceived in this Zhuangzi a long time ago, and there would be no door panels left! Unexpectedly, her brother, who has always been extremely tolerant of herself, became so "domineering", Ren Yingying was so angry that tears rolled in her eyes. "You don't want to think about it, those high-ranking people you invited back to Zhuangzi before, in addition to deceiving you to give them money, for them to spend all day and ...... wine"

"It was before, and now it is now!" Firmly believing that Zhang Qian was different, Ren Cong had rare confidence, and interrupted loudly with a blue face, "This time, I don't need you to worry about me!" ”

After saying that, he quickly turned his body to Zhang Qian, and stretched to the ground, "Brother Zhang, my sister is rude, and I ask Brother Zhang to forgive me!" ”

"Brother Ren is serious. It's me who has been bothering you for too long! Crossing over to Datang and still being looked down upon because he didn't have a capital hukou, Zhang Qian felt so aggrieved in his heart. He smiled reluctantly and waved his hand slightly.

"You ......" saw that the brother was completely oriented towards outsiders, and outsiders did not forgive. Ren Yingying was angry and anxious, tears rolling down.

Just as he was about to step forward and reason with the other party, there was suddenly a flustered footstep in the courtyard. Immediately after, the bearded man Ren Si rushed into the guest room with a white face, "Young Langjun, young lady, no, Langjun (master) is here in the village!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? My grandpa came to the village, what's wrong! In Ren Cong's stomach, he was holding back a lot of evil fire and had nowhere to vent, glaring at Ren Si fiercely and scolding loudly!

"No, it's not!" Ren Si bent over and gasped for breath, and added loudly, "Lang Jun came to Zhuangzi halfway because he was injured." He was supposed to return to Chang'an directly, but as a result, he fell unconscious while walking on the road, so the second steward took charge and sent him to Zhuangzi first......"

"Ahh

"Why don't you invite Langzhong? How did my grandpa get hurt? Who hurt him?! At the critical moment, Ren Yingying was calmer than Ren Cong, grabbed Ren Si's arm, and asked loudly.

"It's already ......" Vigilantly glanced at Zhang Qian, Ren Si gritted his teeth and responded in a vague and quick tone, "The second housekeeper said that on the way, he sent someone to Chang'an City in advance to ask Imperial Doctor Sun, and he should be there in a while." The lord was ordered by the Duke of Baoguo to go to the west to pick up a batch of red goods. On the way back, the caravan was suddenly ambushed near Jincheng. It was only a minor injury, but who would have thought that the villain actually smeared dung juice on the arrow! ”

"Imperial Doctor...... Guogong ...... Ambush...... Arrow ......" As he expected, with Zhang Qian's Tang Yan level, he only grasped a few words sporadically. However, just a few words set off a storm in the latter's heart.

What is the origin of this Ren family? How could you still call in the imperial doctor who treated the emperor?

Who is Bao Guogong? How can you be ambushed if you do business well?

It sounds like the opponent even used a bow and arrow! Doing business still has to face feather arrows, how can this family village be a serious place? !

"Brother Zhang, this is for you!" When he was suspicious, he heard the shouts of the little fat man in his ears. Suddenly looked up, just to see Ren Cong running back with a sweat on his head, "Passing the place, the hand is solid, and there is the title deed of twenty acres of Yongye Field." My father was injured, and I am now so distraught that I can't tell you more. Don't be busy leaving, turn back, and when your father is out of danger, I will take you to Weinan to complete the last formalities! ”

After that, he slapped the documents in his hand, such as the transfer office and the title deed, towards Zhang Qian's hand, turned his head again, and galloped away.
