Chapter 116: The Four Form an Alliance
Zheng Hongda and Wang Zuoren were not unhappy because they were rejected for a long time, when the courtyard door was opened, the two of them bowed their hands to the empty courtyard inside, "It is really a sin to frighten Mengniang." β
Mao Yulong was embarrassed, and asked in surprise, "Stop, two brothers, when will my mother become your alliance?"
The two of them immediately said solemnly, "Yesterday, we formed a righteous alliance and jointly founded a newspaper of righteousness, so that we are already sworn brothers, our parents are your parents, your parents are of course my parents, and your mother is of course our alliance mother." By the way, you will go back with us in a while, meet your eldest brother "one finger Wang Zuoren" your uncle and aunt, and then go to my house to meet my father. β
At that time, Mao Yulong deliberately was shocked, "No, we don't have three animals to worship." β
Zheng Hongda really didn't want to see Mao Yulong's ink, and saw Mao Yulong's mother coming out of the kitchen, looking at this side, and pushed him away, "That's all false, what kind of people are we, really frank and honest, a gentleman promises a thousand gold, and life and death are a big husband." What are you doing with that void, hurry up and let us worship the alliance, and then we have to do the right thing, this time can't be delayed. β
Then he walked in front of Mao Yulongniang in a few steps, couldn't help but say, knelt down directly, and kowtowed loudly, "Er Wang Zuoren." β
"Son Zheng Hongda."
"Er Xu Jie."
At that time, the two of them were blindfolded, how did this more than one and when did it come out.
Turning his face to look, he saw that there was an extra guy in a green robe with a grinning smile next to the two of them, and when he saw the two of them looking at him, he actually gave himself a smirk and squeezed his eyes twice.
Zheng Hongda is so greasy, this is like Taoyuan three knots, and there is an extra old mother as a result; Among the three horses, there was an extra donkey.
"Who are you, you."
Xu Jie grinned, "My name is Xu Jie, I have known and befriended Yulong for a long time, according to what you said, I really have a good heart and soul with Yulong." If you come first, you are my two younger brothers, come and come, come and see my brother after meeting Mengniang. β
Robbery, it is definitely robbery, this horizontal stick is definitely the most disgusting thing that can no longer be disgusting.
As a result, at this time, Mao Yulong stood up and introduced with a smile, "Xu Jie, Mo Rebellion, who was handed over when I was poor, the real brother of life and death who has nothing to say, is my brother." β
As a result, Zheng Hongda had to open his mouth again, but his mother opened his mouth first, "Yes, yes, since Mr. Xu Jie and my son met, they have helped my son a lot, and he is usually more diligent in walking, and my old woman looks at him very well." β
Yes, that means that people are the ones who send charcoal in the snow, and the two of them seem to be speculators who hit the wooden clock.
Come on, in this case, of course the two of you are not qualified to say that others are not, so hurry up and worship.
Seeing that her son did not object, the mother gave the child face, and in this courtyard, she accepted the kneeling of the three people, and officially recognized that these three people were Mao Yulong's three godbrothers.
Mao Yulong has no objection to such formalism, but he does have a feeling of being kidnapped. But think about it from another angle, and I am happy, as the so-called one fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, I want to achieve a great cause, with these three people to help me, at least now I no longer feel weak. The least thing that can be discussed by someone can be discussed. For example, if he makes some conspiracies and tricks, Xu Jie will not let it; Black and white communication, Zheng Hongda is absolutely at ease. And Wang Zuoren has a calm personality, and he can keep himself from being impatient and taking a wrong step.
After worshipping his mother, of course, there must be a meeting gift, Zheng Hongda knew the character of the old lady, and did not give gold and silver treasures, but 4 kinds of gifts, which are all homely. A piece of bacon, a handful of vermicelli, a bag of brown sugar, a box of snacks, ordinary but intimate, the old lady accepted it with a smile.
As a result, Xu Jie took out these 4 things, from this point of view, Xu Jie heard the news of the decision of the three people yesterday, and also found out the thoughts of Zheng Hongda and the two people, which is unwilling to be a queen. It can also be seen that Xu Jie's means of doing things and his love for Mao Yulong are really concerned.
Now that we are officially married, of course, we have to talk about the new year. In the end, 23-year-old Xu Jie became the eldest brother of 4 people, 45-year-old Wang Zuoren became the second brother, 28-year-old Zheng Hongda became the third brother, and Mao Yulong is the fourth brother no matter how you look at it.
Mao Yulong, who was unwilling, solemnly said, "Now it's okay, I have three elder brothers to cover, and I can run rampant and domineering in Hangzhou City and do whatever I want." From now on, I have to be a squirrel, I will poke the basket, and you will bear the rotten son. β
As a result, the three of them shook their fists together and yelled "You dare"
The mother said sharply, "Children, break his leg first." β
Taking advantage of the good times, Mao Yulong immediately returned to the parents of his three elder brothers, of course, he also had to meet the gift, in order to be thrifty, Mao Yulong followed the rules of the time, so he gave Zheng Hongda's gift to his mother to Xu Jie's parents; gave Xu Jie's to Wang Zuoren's father, and Zheng Hongda's high hall smiled at Wang Zuoren's dim sum. This is exactly what happened to that sentence, you put your hand in his hand, and in the end, forget it, if you say it, you will definitely be beaten up.
Forming alliances is secondary, business is key, and the newspaper that opens the discussion operates.
Wang Zuoren's bookstore is not big, according to the rules of this era, it is the front store, the back workshop. When I entered the store, I saw a brocade guard collecting money here. This is the rule, and now the Jinyi guards everywhere are the emperor's pro-army, Wei Zhongxian's minions, but they also really do something practical. For example, they are not only responsible for spying on the bad deeds of officials and catching criminals. In various places, it is also responsible for the responsibility of urban management, so it is natural to collect management fees. Do you have to have income if you have to pay, the expenses of Jinyiwei and a large part of the emperor's internal income come from here. And the emperor's treasury is now almost the money bag of the bankrupt household. For example, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, who are now sitting in western Liaoning, have an annual military salary of 8 million, which is almost entirely from the internal treasury rather than from the household treasury.
Wang Zuoren accompanied the smile to answer, this brocade guard did not embarrass him, after receiving the money, he gave a few simple words of routine advice, but "Be careful to print, don't slander the saint, don't slander Wei's father-in-law, don't have gossipes to confuse the public, don't have disharmony." Then after getting Wang Zuoren's routine answer and assurance, he walked away.
"It seems that Jinyiwei is not like a wolf and a tiger." Seeing Jin Yiwei walk into the faΓ§ade of another house, Mao Yulong was so puzzled.
Wang Zuoren said, "Jinyiwei is also a human being, and his responsibilities lie, other corrupt officials and cool officials are extremely sucking the bones and marrow of the people, and they don't care about the lives and deaths of the people and radical changes." But the most fearful of arousing public anger in the world is this Jinyiwei, because once a local people revolt, the first person to be held accountable is the Jinyiwei, at least they are unfavorable in investigation and dereliction of duty. This is a great sin. βγ
Mao Yulong sighed, and then realized that he seemed to have been deceived by later movies and TV series.
This explanation is actually more common sense.
