Chapter 9: A New Generation of Jinyiwei
(Recommended ticket to go!) Don't stop!! )
The father and son returned home and sat in the main hall in silence.
Seeing that the two of them were not looking good, Gao Erniang separated Chen Xiaolin and the two, so that no one came to disturb them.
After feeling that Chen Dayong's breath was calmer, Chen Xiaoting slowly spoke: "Dad, why do you have to bow to that villain!" ”
It's okay not to mention it, but Chen Dayong was angry when he mentioned it, and then said angrily: "What do you know? It's just a kneecap, what does it compare to your future? Child's insight! ”
If Chen Xiaoting hadn't argued with Chen Dayong before, but from the moment he saw his father kneeling for someone, he decided to have the final say in this matter, because now he is the pillar of this family.
Then, I heard Chen Xiaoting also say angrily: "But my son doesn't want you to be like this, I don't want my future, my father knelt down on his knees!" ”
Chen Dayong was stunned for a while, he didn't expect his son to dare to speak to himself so loudly, which made him a little uncomfortable for many years.
At the same time, Chen Dayong also felt very relieved that his son cared so much about and maintained himself, at least his son was filial.
Without waiting for Chen Dayong to speak, Chen Xiaoting continued: "My son's future has his own plans, you don't have to worry about it......"
"My son promises that within ten years, he will definitely get a place for 100 households to sit!" Chen Xiaoting said with confidence, in fact, he would like to talk about five years.
In fact, Chen Dayong also wanted to open at this time, and it seemed impossible for Wang Youtian to change his words, and it was inevitable that the boss would go to Taixi to sit in the hall.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoting was so energetic, Chen Dayong was also a lot more relieved, and then scolded: "Just because you want to sit in the position of a hundred households, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" ”
"In the future, you can sit in the position of the general flag, your father and me...... It also shines in front of the old brothers! ”
Hearing his father speak like this, Chen Xiaoting knew that his mood had adjusted.
So he took out the silver from his arms, then pushed it in front of Chen Dayong and said, "Dad, you can collect this money, don't send it out casually in the future!" ”
Chen Dayong glanced at it, and then said: "You can keep this money, it must cost a lot to go to Taixi, don't forget that you also have to hire an errand officer, this is another expense!" ”
Don't look at how many errands a Jinyi captain has under him, but these officers are all hired by the school captain himself at his own expense, and the Jinyi Guard Yamen will not care about these.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaoting opened the package, and after taking out five taels of silver from it, he saw that the rest was handed over to Chen Dayong again.
Then he said: "My son will also have a fortune soon, and he won't need too much money, and you can keep the rest of the father, and you still have to keep more money at home, in case of an emergency!" ”
Seeing Chen Xiaoting's resolute attitude, Chen Dayong no longer argued.
It's just that Chen Dayong repeatedly told Chen Xiaoting not to be forced to stand up for lack of money, but to tell his family.
It's so simple, the push between a few taels of silver profoundly interprets the warmth of home.
Therefore, in order to protect his family and give his family a better life, Chen Xiaoting vowed to mix hundreds of households in the future.
After the father and son made sense of the ineffable, the atmosphere of the Chen family became much more harmonious.
At this time, it was already noon, and after seeing her husband and son negotiate, Gao Erniang began to arrange lunch.
Everyone rarely spoke during this meal, and Chen Xiaoting was also planning in his heart how to act after going to Taixi.
In the afternoon, under the urging of Chen Dayong, Chen Xiaoting took Chen Xiaolin out to buy things, all of which he wanted to use when he went to Taixi.
By the time he returned, it was already late, and smoke was rising from the entire alley.
Gao Erniang is also cooking dinner, and her son can't stay at home for a few days, so she makes every meal as rich as possible.
But Chen Xiaoting couldn't eat this meal today, and his buttocks didn't sit hot when he went home, and Yu Youping, who accompanied him to Baihu Yamen that day, found him.
When Yu Youping explained his intentions, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking, "You want to invite me to drink?"
Yu Youping took a sip of water, and then said, "That's it, brothers, please drink!"
Yu Youping and the others are all children of Jinyiwei, and they grew up with Chen Xiaoting since childhood, and their relationship is very good.
Moreover, it will not be long before these people will take over their positions in the family, and they will still be colleagues in the yamen in the future.
If he Chen Xiaoting wants to make great achievements, it is definitely not enough to rely on himself, and he also needs to have friends in the yamen to help him.
Therefore, without thinking much about it, Chen Xiaoting knew that this meal had to go, and it was best to treat it himself.
Just as Chen Xiaoting was thinking about how to tell his family, Chen Dayong, who was passing by outside the room, put down a sentence and said, "Xiaoting, if there is peace, they will go to you!"
A good man has ambitions in all directions, although Chen Dayong has not read any books, he understands this truth.
After Chen Xiaoting answered, he went out with Yu Youping.
After a brief exchange on the road, Chen Xiaoting learned that there were four people drinking together today, in addition to Yu Youping, Wei Wuding, Xiao Minzhong, and Yang Yuexing.
These four people and Chen Xiaoting all grew up together, and their relationship is not ordinarily good.
So after Chen Xiaoting just arrived at the private room of the restaurant, everyone gave him a punch, which was a different kind of greeting.
After each of them was punched, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help asking, "Why didn't Yongyi come?"
Chen Yongyi is the son of a Chinese official of the prefect Yamen, and it is reasonable to say that he and Chen Xiaoting are not all the way, but they grew up together.
Yang Yuexing, who was sitting on a stool, took a sip of tea, and then pouted: "I'm afraid that I will be watched by Lao Tzu at home again, and I will gnaw on books at home!"
Don't look at Jinyiwei's martial arts, but he was spurned as an eagle dog by the literati, so Chen Yongyi's family would object to his children and Jinyiwei's dealings.
No longer mentioning Chen Yongyi, among the five people present, Chen Xiaoting was older, so he was pushed to the main position.
Under Yu Youping's greeting, soon a junior brought up the wine and food, and even the shopkeeper of the restaurant came over in person to show his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you eat and drink well, and if you have something to greet me, Lao Xu is!" The shopkeeper said very politely.
Several people present are future Jinyi captains, and the shopkeeper can't afford to offend.
Yu Youping waved his hand and said, "You go down first, Lao Xu!"
This street is covered by Yu Youping's father, so today he is actually the east.
After driving away the shopkeeper, Yu Youping stood up and said, "Everyone is eating and drinking with their bellies open today, and they are not allowed to leave if they are not drunk!"
It seems that this meal is white food, and Chen Xiaoting always feels a little funny to be able to take eating white food for granted.
But in fact, it's not funny at all, Jin Yiwei's little money every month can only starve the family to death.
For example, the Chen family's life of having a few dishes per meal has to rely on additional channels of money to maintain.
The most important channel is to collect filial piety from the shops on the street, so Jinyi Weinei divided the city into districts, and each general banner is responsible for a piece of land.
Chen Da tried his best to want Chen Xiaoting to stay in Fucheng to listen to the errand, in addition to giving his son a greater development platform, but also because the errand can collect these filial piety money.
The world seems to be a little upside down, and the exploitation of merchants is a matter of course here in Jinyiwei, and it exists in a very reasonable form.
Of course, there is a limit to the amount of filial piety that can be collected every month, and it has been institutionalized over the years.
It's just that at the moment, all this has little to do with Chen Xiaoting.
Just when he wanted to take a sip of tea to quench his thirst, he saw Yu Youping pick up his wine glass and say to everyone: "Everyone, let's come together to pay tribute to Brother Ting!"
Under Yu Youping's greeting, the remaining three people all got up and saluted Chen Xiaoting with wine, and Chen Xiaoting also raised his wine glass in return.
"Dry ......"
The feelings are all in the wine, and everyone drinks it all.
