It is said that in the past, there were princes and ministers who would not openly accept money from their subordinates or those who asked for it, so they asked their families to open a shop selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or simply open a few pawnshops. Put a bunch of worthless antiques and even fakes of paintings and calligraphy on the table, and let people buy them at a high price, or let people take priceless antique paintings and calligraphy.

But I've only heard of it, and I've never seen it, because the current official master doesn't refuse to come, and he only hates that others give less, so he won't have those concerns.

Yang Qinghe didn't expect to meet one today, thinking that the old man Han in front of him was young and ambitious, and he was worried about attracting jealousy, so he was cautious. Thinking of the fact that now the whole family is a hometown and can't go back, as long as they agree to Master Han's conditions, they can not only repay the foreign debts, but also don't have to worry about their future livelihood, and the two sons can even throw themselves into the door of Master Han to have a future, and suddenly their legs were weak, and they knelt down and said: "Qinghe is willing, Qinghe is willing, thank you Master Han for his rescue, if it weren't for Master Han's help, Qinghe's family would really have no way to live." ”

"Here's what to do, get up and talk." Han Xiufeng motioned for the pillar to help him up, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yang, this official has done a sea security inspection, acted in Taizhou Prefecture, and has also been a deputy for two Huaiyun for more than half a year, and is familiar with Yangzhou City, Daqiao Town, Fairy Temple, Wanfu Bridge and other places." Listening to your accent, the official seems to be listening to the local accent, feeling more cordial and more cordial! ”

Thinking of the hometown incident mentioned in the letter brought by his cousin last year, Yang Qinghe asked in surprise: "You are the old man Han who led a thousand villagers to defeat the long-haired master on the east bank of Liaojiagou!" ”

"Shopkeeper Yang, have you heard of me?"

"Thunder, thunder!" Yang Qinghe was overjoyed and said eagerly: "Master Han, Qinghe is from Daqiao Town!" My brother not only met you, Master Han, but also took the young people in the village to cross the river to the east bank to help you repair the camp. My brother said in his letter, if it weren't for Master Han and you sending someone to remind you, the gentry and people in Daqiao Town would have been served by Long Hair! ”

Han Xiufeng was surprised, and subconsciously asked: "Your brother once led Qingzhuang to help me repair the camp, so your brother is a scholar?" ”

"My brother Yang Qinghu is a member of my Ganquan, and he has been teaching at the Chunjiang Academy in the town before he made trouble, and now he lives in Taizhou."

In the past few days of sticking to the Wanfu Bridge, there were too many gentry in Daqiao Town who contributed food and people to assist in defense, and it had been several years, Han Xiufeng couldn't remember one, but he still smiled: "Oh, what a coincidence, I never thought that you and I would have this relationship!" Shopkeeper Yang, there are many of your fellow villagers in this area of Gyeonggi now, Zhuozhou Prefecture sentenced Wang Qianli Wang is a native of Taizhou, and there are more Taizhou military attaches who guard the flood land on both sides of the Yongding River. ”

"There are so many fellow villagers, Master Han, if you hadn't said it, Qinghe really wouldn't have known."

Han Xiufeng was about to speak, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and when he looked back, it turned out that Fugui and Xiaoshan had come to him.

"The fourth master, the second master and the younger siblings are on! The grandsons who guarded the gate were blind, and they wanted to ask for money in a different way, and they didn't ask me what I did before I was rich, and when I collected taxes at the city gate, they didn't know where to ask for food! Fugui eyebrows fluttered and swaggered.

"And then?" Han Xiufeng asked with a smile.

"I beat me so much that I cried my father and called my mother, and I called the current assistant committee member to help them make the decision, but as soon as they saw me, they heard that their younger siblings were your family members, and they were so frightened that they immediately apologized."

"Fourth master, don't look at those tax collectors who show off their power on weekdays, but they dare to offend no one and dare not offend your little military plane!" Xiao Shandong couldn't help but laugh.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Yang Qinghe suddenly realized that Master Han, who had been an official in his hometown in Yangzhou, was now a "small military aircraft", and he was taken aback, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Han Xiufeng was anxious to go back to see his wife and children, and he didn't have time to "catch up" with Yang Qinghe again, pointing at Yang Qinghe and saying with a smile: "Rich master, this is Yang Qinghe Yang shopkeeper, I plan to take down this 'Houyi Hall', and after the plate, I plan to ask Yang to continue to be the shopkeeper, you and Zhuzi help me talk to Yang shopkeeper, and make a contract after negotiating." ”

Fugui really couldn't figure out why Master Han wanted to take over this shop, but he still gave his hand and said, "Okay, I'll leave it here." ”

……

After a big circle and returned to his new home, when he entered the city, he heard that Han Si had become a "small military plane", and Fei Erye, who was very excited, followed him from the front hall to the inner house, and asked why this official was promoted so quickly as he walked!

Qin'er was also very happy, but not because his father became a "little military plane", but because the family was reunited. In fact, she didn't know what the "little military plane" was doing, and she was busy cleaning up the house where she had lived for a few days with Cuihua and her sister.

The little guy is even happier, but it's not because his father made a "little military plane", but because the place he once came to is better than Gu'an, there are rockeries in the yard, there are pavilions, and the outside is even more lively than the village in Zujiachang.

The big head chased after him and asked him what to do with his errand, because Wu Tingdong granted him ten days off.

"What's the hurry, I'm helping you find a way to do the errand. As for Lord Wu's side...... Don't worry, it's okay to go back a few days early and a few days late. ”

Although the big brain shell is not easy to use, he knows the rules of the camp very well, and asks worriedly: "Is it really going to be okay?" ”

Without waiting for Han Xiufeng to speak, Second Master Fei couldn't help but smile: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi." In the past, your fourth brother had to see his Wu Tingdong's face, but now that your fourth brother has become a 'little military machine', he Wu Tingdong has to look at your fourth brother's face. What's wrong with returning to the camp a few days later, even if it is two or three months late, he Wu Tingdong can only turn a blind eye, hahaha! “

"Then I won't go back, by the way, fourth brother, what kind of official is Xiao Junji, didn't you transfer the political secretary to be a senator, why did you change the yamen again?"

"It's a long story, and I can't understand it for a while, so I'll tell you later." Han Xiufeng was worried that his son, who was climbing the rockery, would fall, so he kept staring at the bottom, and he really didn't bother to explain to him, because he might not be able to explain it for a long time.

"Then where do I stay with Cuihua at night?" The big head asked heartlessly.

"Isn't this nonsense, where can you two live if you don't live here?"

"Okay, I'll go pick a room first."

The sun was about to set, and the big head made up his mind to accompany Cuihua to "go back to his parents' house" early tomorrow morning, so he happily went to help clean up the house where he and Cuihua lived at night.

Fei Erye was about to ask what this "little military machine" was about, and Ao Xixian, accompanied by the shopkeeper Wen, took Duan Dazhang's former friend Wang Naizeng to visit. The two family members who accompanied him carried food boxes and even prepared wine, saying that they were congratulating the housewarming.

Han Xiufeng hurriedly asked Qin'er to take the baby, and he and Fei Erye accompanied Ao Xixian and Wang Naizeng to the flower hall for wine. Hearing that the "little brother-in-law" was coming, the big head who had been on the road for a day hurriedly took a shower and changed his clothes, and when he was cleaned up and changed into new clothes, he grinned and rushed to the flower hall to meet him.

recognized Cuihua as a righteous sister, Ao Xixian was originally the same as his cousin Ao Tongchen just to return Han Xiufeng's personal affection, but after coming and going, he fell in love with Datou, a fake aunt who had no heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Sit, sit down and eat two cups." ”

"No, Cuihua cooked in it, I'm ...... I'm here to say hello. The big head looked at the table full of wine and food, licked his lips, and the twisting and pinching appearance made people want to laugh.

"Let you sit and sit, what are you standing like?" Han Xiufeng looked up and said.

"Fourth brother, I really can't eat wine, Cuihua won't let me eat." The big head said with a bitter face.

Thinking that he would either not eat alcohol, and he would not be able to control it when he ate, and he would be drunk every time, Ao Xixian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Since Cuihua won't let you eat wine, then don't eat it." You go and get busy first, and then we'll talk to your fourth brother for a while. ”

"Okay, then I'll go in first......"

"Go, remember to tell Cuihua, go back early tomorrow, your two sisters-in-law know that the two of you will go back to Beijing today, and you said this morning that you haven't seen Cuihua for a long time."

"I know, I'll accompany Cuihua tomorrow morning."

There is wine that can't be drunk, and meat can't be eaten, so the big head went back to the inner courtyard so stupidly, looking at his very reluctant appearance, Han Xiufeng smiled and explained: "Brother Yunqing, it's not that Xiufeng doesn't treat him as a brother, but his daughter-in-law really doesn't dare to let him eat wine anymore." Think about it, he is five big and three thick, as strong as a cow, if he really gets drunk like mud again, how can Cuihua serve a woman with six armors? ”

"yes, hahaha." Wang Naizeng couldn't help laughing, thinking about it and sighing: "It's really a stupid person with a stupid fortune, who would have thought that like him, there is not only a 'little military machine' brother, but also two Hanlin brothers, don't think about anything, don't worry about anything, because you all help him think about what you should think, and you help him the heart that should be." ”

"Really, I'm not afraid of Brother Yunqing's jokes, Xiufeng is really envious of him sometimes."

"Zhixing, don't talk about you, even I'm a little envious, hahaha." Ao Jixian couldn't help but laugh.

Han Xiufeng put down his chopsticks and got back to business: "Two, why are you here, Brother Yonghuan and Brother Bowen?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Naizeng said meaningfully: "Zhixing, Zhixing, do you really don't know or don't know?" ”

"What do you know?"

"The two of them, including Jiang Haoxuan and Wang Zhirong, are all busy eating and drinking with their colleagues at this time, and some things can no longer be hidden at this time, such as the fact that the emperor and you have a teacher and a student although they have no name as a teacher and a student, you have to quickly let those people who see you know about it."

Han Xiufeng reacted and said apologetically: "Let the big guy bother." ”

Ao Xixian wasted no time in saying: "Zhixing, it's a shame to say it, we used to patronize and be happy for you, but we didn't expect that your current situation seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. If it weren't for Yunqing's timely reminder, he almost missed a big event. ”

"Brother Yunqing, don't thank you for your kindness, Xiufeng will do it first as a respect."

"What's there to thank you for this, besides, I just gave Brother Yonghui a wake-up call, seeing that you are so calm and relaxed, you must have thought of it a long time ago, and even thought about how to deal with it."

Han Xiufeng knew very well that the reason why Duan Dazhang was able to be the political envoy of Gansu was because of the contribution in front of him. Thinking that there is indeed a lack of a friend who can help with the plan, he got up and arched his hand: "Brother Yunqing, the official has done this now, Xiufeng is really walking on thin ice, I wonder if Brother Yunqing is willing to help Xiufeng?" ”

If he was just a friend of the scene, Wang Naizeng would have a better place to go, and with the experience of assisting Duan Dazhang all the way from the prefect to the political envoy in Gansu, it would not be difficult to go to supervise and make a living. In fact, when I first returned to Beijing, I had been a friend of Zhou Zupei, a university scholar for more than a month. But no matter how important he is by the owner, he is just a friend, and it is not so easy to become an official with this.

Thinking of Yun Qijun, Jiang Zhengxin, Cui Hao and others who had met in the Chongqing Hall in the afternoon, Wang Naizeng really realized that Han Xiufeng's holy family was not a little thick. I want to be Han Xiufeng's friend, even if I fall out again in the meeting two years later, with Han Si's help, I can mix up an official and a half-job.

What's more, it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the phoenix, and only Han Xiufeng can live comfortably.

Seeing Han Xiufeng's sincere face, Wang Naizeng pretended to hesitate for a moment, and said half-jokingly: "Zhixing, I'm used to being big-footed, don't look at your uncle's annual receipt of 1,600 taels of bunches, but it's not enough to spend." ”

Han Xiufeng had seen how he helped Duan Dazhang plan when he entered Beijing with Duan Dazhang three years ago, and knew that he, a friend of the scene, was not just helping to draft the folding. If it is really about being an official, Huang Zhongyin, Ji Yunfei, Ao Tongchen and other fellow villagers are not as good as him combined.

Thinking that it was not easy to invite a friend like him, not to mention that he was not an outsider, Han Xiufeng arched his hand again: "Brother Yunqing, Xiufeng is thirsty for talent, and he can't take care of those false courtesies." As long as Brother Yunqing is willing to help, it is good to say, Xiufeng is willing to give two thousand taels! ”

Two thousand taels a year, enough sincerity!

You must know that Zhou Zupei is so stingy that he is only willing to give three hundred taels a year, but then again, Zhou Zupei is in a high position, and people who want to tie him up are like Jiang Zhiqing, not to mention giving three hundred taels a year, but only one hundred taels A person is vying to enter the scene.

Wang Naizeng didn't want to go around in circles anymore, and he didn't want Han Xiufeng to think that he was hypocritical, so he immediately bowed and saluted back: "Yunqing greets Dong Weng!" ”
