Chapter 91: Framing
There are constant pedestrians on the bluestone road, some carrying burdens and hurrying on the road, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, and some driving donkeys to pull carts, all of which are full of goods. There is also a troupe being built in the open space, and the upcoming tea ring has indeed brought a lot of popularity to Fuping County.
Cao Wei led Qian Ning and Zhang Meng to walk slowly and leisurely on the street, and felt a little admiration for this father-in-law who had never met before. He came all the way from Yangzhou, passed through many prefectures and counties, and the more he went to the northwest, the more barren he felt, especially in the neighboring counties, the people were more or less yellow-faced and thin.
On the other hand, the people in Fuping County, although few of them are wearing gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes, but most of them are clean and tidy, and some ragged beggars are encountered on the roadside, and they are also willing to give a few copper plates, and the whole Fuping County is governed in an orderly manner by this county order. However, this Xie County Commander has such ability, but he has not been promoted for more than ten years, which is also a strange thing.
However, whether others are promoted or not has little to do with Cao Wei, what he has to do now is to make this cheap father-in-law admit that this son-in-law who seems to have fallen from the sky is his son-in-law, which sounds a little tongue-twisting, and Cao Wei is also a little sad.
But no matter what, it's always not wrong to get rid of people who are in the way, Cao Wei thought for a moment and said: "Qian Ning, there is a businessman who came to Fuping County from other places to do business, and I don't know if it is difficult to do business here?" ”
Qian Ning heard Qin's knowledge, laughed, and said: "This business is naturally difficult to do, somehow, Feng Huai Gongzi knew that there was such a businessman who came to Fuping County to do business, and after some investigation, this foreign businessman who came to Fuping County to do business had no backing......
Cao Wei took over and said, "...... So Feng Gongzi robbed the merchant of the goods on a whim, but this poor merchant turned out to be the distant maternal uncle of a thousand households in Weinan Mansion, which is terrible! ”
“…… The distant uncle was robbed, of course the lord of a thousand households was not happy, so he arrested the bold Feng Gongzi and put him in prison, and after being tortured, this Feng Gongzi confessed to the crime! ”
“…… The Feng family originally thought that the matter would be over, but who would have thought that at this time, someone reported and exposed that Feng Gongzi was having an affair with the White Lotus Sect. ”
Qian Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Is the Lord going to kill you?" ”
Cao Wei said with a smile: "Collusion with the White Lotus Sect is to be beheaded by the whole family, and the Feng family naturally can't sit still, so they run around to rescue Feng Gongzi and clear their grievances for the Feng family." However, the Feng family found that this master of a thousand households was a dead brain, and it was difficult for anyone to come, so in the end they could only pin their hopes on the uncle who came to Fuping County to play. ”
Qian Ning's eyes lit up and said, "Your Excellency is clever!" ”
"And how is the poor merchant to find it?"
"Your Excellency, did you forget? There is a restaurant of the Shen family in Weinan Mansion, as long as the subordinates go over to say hello, a wine merchant will come here to do business......
Cao Wei glanced at Qian Ning and said, "Qian Ning, you have learned badly!" Your behavior is full of pitfalls now, how can this make others walk? ”
Qian Ning sneered and said, "It's all taught well by adults......
"Learn more from Zhang Meng in the future, and see how honest and honest people are...... By the way, Zhang Meng didn't speak much after he left Nanjing, could it be that he was not adaptable? ”
Zhang Meng said angrily: "My lord, my mother-in-law said that if you follow an adult, you have to talk less and do more, and the adult will not let an honest person suffer no matter what!" ”
Cao Wei gave a thumbs up and said, "With this sentence, you can see that you are a good mother-in-law who has married home." ”
Qian Ning smiled: "My lord, you don't know, don't look at Zhang Meng as a rough man, but he married a young lady from a scholarly family." This young lady was teased by two scoundrels on the road, Zhang Meng arrived in time, the hero saved the beauty, and then the young lady's father and mother saw that Zhang Meng was honest and honest, and agreed to the marriage of the two. After marriage, the size of the Zhang family is determined by his wife's words, and Zhang Meng doesn't dare to breathe at home! ”
Cao Wei laughed and said, "These two splashes can't be specially instructed by Zhang Meng, right?" The purpose is to save the beauty of heroes. ”
Zhang Mengsheng blushed and said, "There is no such thing!" ”
The three of them laughed and returned to the Qiao family's courtyard, and a school captain dressed as a family member greeted him and said in a low voice: "My lord, the head of the Qiao family has come to pay a visit!" ”
"The head of the Qiao family?" Cao Wei was puzzled: "What is he doing here?" ”
Qian Ning smiled bitterly: "My lord, the house we live in now is the Qiao family's mansion, and it is natural for the master family to come to visit." ”
"The visit is just an excuse, but it's true that I came to find out the details of the official! It's good to see him, the official always has to say hello to the host when he comes here. ”
Cao Wei walked to the front hall and saw a middle-aged man in a green robe, sitting calmly on the guest seat drinking tea, so he stepped forward and arched his hand, saying, "This must be the head of the Qiao family, right?" ”
When the head of the Qiao family saw the visitor, he hurriedly got up and returned the salute, his eyes were quite shocked, as if he didn't expect this uncle to be so young: "The villain greets the uncle!" Villain Qiao Dingsu, it's really a blessing to see your uncle today! Uncle can come to a small place like Fuping County, which is also a blessing for the people of this county. ”
Cao Wei said with a smile: "I have been in the land of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and I always want to see the scenery of other places, and it just so happens that my wife is from Weinan Mansion, so I came to enjoy the scenery of the northwest." Now that the tea is held in Fuping County, Uncle Ben naturally can't miss it. ”
From Gangnam...... Qiao Dingsu's heart moved, and said tentatively: "The villain was fortunate to meet Wei Guogong when he was young, and the old man knew all the poetry and songs when he was young, so many years have passed, I don't know if the old man is still ...... style."
Old man Xu came to North Shaanxi Province when he was young, Qiao Dingsu, as the heir of the Qiao family at that time, saw the old man once, this uncle is from Jiangnan, naturally he has seen old man Xu.
Old man Xu is arrogant and domineering, scolding his mother at every turn, where can he write poetry and songs. Cao Wei remembered the appearance of Old Man Xu's mouthful words, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "I don't know if the head of the Qiao family remembered it wrongly, or if Old Man Xu's painting style changed suddenly after he got old, this old boy...... Ahem, gaffe, this old man is becoming more and more rude now, kicking people at every turn. ”
Cao Wei's reaction shocked Qiao Dingsu, especially when he saw the smile on the corner of Cao Wei's mouth, it was clearly a color of remembrance, the person in front of him must be very familiar with Old Master Xu, and this person must also be a Nanjing noble!
Qiao Dingsu settled his mind and said respectfully: "The old man is old and has a bad memory, so he should have made a mistake." If the uncle has any needs in this county, just ask, the Qiao family will do his best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
The villain saw that the uncle did not bring a maid on this trip, if the uncle did not dislike it, the villain would later transfer a few from Qiao's mansion to serve the uncle and his wife. ”
"I dislike ......" Cao Wei refused without hesitation, the Qiao family and the Xie family have a very good relationship, and the family members also move around frequently, if someone recognizes the sweet potato, then all these plans will be in vain, he sorted out his thoughts, and said: "The country girl is too vulgar, my wife is not used to it, Ben Bo is only a few days in Fuping County, so there is no need to bother." ”
Qiao Dingsu gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great sacrifice, and said: "There is a baby daughter in the villain's house, who is clever in her hands and feet, gentle and considerate, and can be specially called over to serve Mrs. ”
Cao Wei looked at him with a smile and said, "I heard that the daughter of the Qiao family made a good whip......
The old face of the head of the Qiao family was slightly red, and he said: "The family is unfortunate, so that the uncle is smiling, smiling...... There is still this matter in the villain's house, so I won't talk to my uncle. ”
"The head of the Qiao family is busy by himself!"
Qiao Su got up and said goodbye to Cao Wei, Cao Wei looked at Qiao Su's departing back, and muttered: "Send a tiger over, I don't know if it's to serve people or murder ......"
