Chapter 7 Thousands of Households

"This year, the harvest of the people of Hening County is better, and the annual tribute is much more than in previous years, Yu here's thank you!" Heninghou saluted the crowd.

"Congratulations to Master Hou! Congratulations to the Marquis! It's my job! All the guests said in unison.

"Hou Ye eats 4,000 households, since there is such a rare opportunity, why don't Hou Ye mention the tribute and add another fire to our great cause"? The doorman Jin Xin said.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Everyone agreed.

Heninghou smiled, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then turned to ask Gong Suzhong, "What do you think, sir?" ”

Gong Suzhong frowned, got up and saluted: "The old man thinks it's inappropriate. ”

"Pedantic!"

"Cowardly as a mouse!"

"Da Sima is old, and at this time, Xigong's wings are growing, and the old man doesn't think it's a wise choice to set himself on fire at this time." Gong Su Zhong ignored the sneers of the crowd.

Heninghou gradually faded his laughter: "Mr. also said, he is getting full-fledged, when will Yu wait?" When he's really in power? Seeing that Gong Suzhong didn't answer, "This matter is so decided." ”

No one noticed that at this moment, a figure that had been standing outside the window for a long time gradually disappeared.

Soon after, it was the evening of the moon, thanks to the wealth of the old fiefdom, and saved a lot of money, so Henin Hou has always been extravagant, not to mention this year, he invited the fifteenth person with a head and face in Henin County to participate in the banquet early, and he had to sacrifice the moon on that day.

Zhang Jing was also very helpless when he heard the news in his own house, this Heninghou really didn't know what it meant to be dormant and what it meant to be obscure. Even if he is an old friend with him, this time he is powerless, and the matter is so big, Zhang Jing has to report it truthfully.

"Tell me to go down, and in a few days on the eve of the month, I will say that I am sick and close the door!" Zhang Jing said to the attendant.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the moon, and unlike An Jing's imagination, no one came. This situation is completely reasonable, even if the guards are withdrawn, ordinary businessmen and local officials do not dare to easily get too close to this "abolished emperor", this is the most taboo today, it is a major event to kill the head, and no one will defy the law.

Hening waited for a long time, and the sky gradually became cloudy, and the clouds were thick, and the full moon could not be seen at all.

The atmosphere is also like this weather, gradually becoming gloomy. None of the doormen at the table made a sound. Even Chongkang, who has no rules on weekdays, sits quietly.

Heninghou swept down the gift on the table very angrily, then flicked his sleeves and retreated, but An Jing, who was standing outside the door, could see clearly that the gift was specially brought back from Danzhou.

The breeze is light, with the coolness of autumn, and with the wind comes the dripping rain. An Jing walked in the rain like this, completely ignoring the increasing rain, but secretly wondered why his father hated him so much, and he would be furious even when he looked at the gift he had prepared for him, why was this?

Thinking about it, I got confused...

By the time An Jing opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.

"Are you awake?" Seeing that An Jing was awake, Gong Su Zhong asked with concern.

An Jing felt dizzy: "Master, what's wrong with me?" ”

Gong Suzhong handed over a bowl of medicine: "You were drenched in the rain yesterday and fainted, it was Mo Bunuo who sent you back, and you had a high fever at night, drink the medicine first!" ”

"This is Mr. Gong's own boiling, and it will naturally get better after drinking it." Aunt Zhou looked at An Jing, whose lips were pale, and felt a little unbearable in her heart.

An Jing nodded, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all. He was so weak that he fell asleep again.

Gong Suzhong rubbed his eyes, he didn't sleep for half a night yesterday, and he was very sleepy now, so he explained a few words and went back to rest.

In the evening, An Jing woke up, the master's medicine was really powerful, he slept for a long time, and now he is relaxed. Opening the door and standing on the porch, the distant twilight reflected the clouds in the west. There is still a little smell of earthy after-rain in the breeze blowing in the face. An Jing smelled very comfortable, and couldn't help but stretch.

As soon as Mo Bunuo went upstairs, what caught his eyes was An Jing's twilight-dyed side face, her eyelashes trembling, the breeze blowing, and her hair fluttering.

"Childe, it's getting dark, let's add some clothes." Mo Bunuo settled down and handed over the cloak, "Master thought that you were about to wake up, and your stomach should be hungry, so Aunt Zhou was busy with the affairs of the house, so she asked me to send some food." ”

An Jing thanked him and turned to look into the room.

There were a few small dishes on the square table and a bowl of porridge.

An Jing sat down, picked up chopsticks, and put some vegetables in his mouth: "Mo Bunuo, you say, why does my father hate me so much?" ”

“……”

"Why don't you speak?" An Jing paused.

Mo Bunuo looked at the sunset outside the corridor and thought for a while: "Perhaps...... Childe can ask Mr. Gong. ”

An Jing suddenly became excited: "That's right! How did I not think of that? The Master may know something. I'll go now! So saying, he got up.

"Don't worry, son, let's go again tomorrow, Mr. took care of you last night and stayed up for half the night, and besides, you haven't been able to make a good profit." Mo Bunuo stopped An Jing.

When An Jing heard this, he sat down slowly: "It's all my fault, and the master is worried about me......"

"The master is so good to me, but the father ......"

An Jing poked the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks.

Mo Buno wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

"Zijing, is your health better?" Su Yu saw An Jing enter the door and said with concern.

An Jing smiled: "After taking the master's medicine, it is already well, Ziyu doesn't need to worry." ”

"Master!" Su Yu saw Gong Su Zhong coming in from outside the door and saluted.

Gong Su Zhong seemed to have something on his mind, frowned, and sighed from time to time.

Su Yu and An Jing looked at each other, confused.

Su Yu stepped forward and asked, "Master, but what happened?" ”

"Alas! The old man had persuaded him many times, but the marquis listened to the nonsense of the group of guests...... The holy decree arrived early this morning, and now Henin Hou has only mined a thousand households, and most of them have been cut off. ”

Heninghou has always had a perverse personality and is self-serving, and Gongsu Zhongyuan thought that he would be more mature after more than ten years of experience and know how to stay away from the court. I didn't expect that he was impatient after only a few years, and he has been making frequent moves recently, and the annual tribute is the ancestral system, but this Hening Hou is bold and bold, and he is doing tricks and feet on the annual tribute. The guards on the bright side withdrew, but I don't know how many hidden piles of eyeliner there were, but Heninghou didn't care about this at all.

An Jing was shocked when he heard this: "There are only a thousand households left? ”

"Looks like I'm going to be furious!" Su Yu paced a few steps and said, "In this way, the scene that Hou Ye was addicted to in wine and dogs and horses before was almost done in vain." ”

"Destroyed." Miyasu Zhong sighed again.

"Father, he...... Why? An Jing wondered.

Gong Su Zhong looked around, and motioned Mo Bunuo to close the doors and windows and retreat, then poured a cup of tea and said, "Because...... Intended for the court. ”

“……”

I see, it turns out that my father's goal has always been that high position, but this is a rebellion and a road of no return......

But even so, why should the father hate himself?

After calming down a little, An Jing asked again, "Does the master know why my father hates me?" ”

Gong Su Zhong's hand holding the cup paused, and coughed slightly: "This matter...... Now is not the time, and when the time comes, you will know. ”

"Please let the master know!" An Jing knelt down and bowed.

Seeing this, Gong Suzhong hurriedly went to help: "You get up quickly." ”

An Jing's attitude was very resolute: "Please also let the master know!" An Jing doesn't want to live in such a daze, if the master doesn't tell him, An Jing won't be able to kneel for a long time! ”

"You! ......" Gong Su Zhong was a little embarrassed, "Have you ever thought about it, maybe the truth of the matter is not something you can bear at a young age?" ”

Angel didn't answer.

Seeing this, Gong Suzhong looked at Su Yu. Su Yu realized that he should avoid it, so he bowed and withdrew.
