Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhang Liang's Godson
Just the return of Xu Qili and his wife to their home may not be so lively. A little doll is the cohesion of everyone, Chen Laocai, who got the news, took the little girls Chen Mengzhi and Xiao Zhao to come as quickly as possible.
The courtyard was immediately filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and there was constant laughter and laughter. Especially Chen Mengzhi and Xiao Zhao, an aunt, a sister-in-law, surrounded by chubby dolls, there are not enough.
"Hey, her little arms are like lotus roots, round and bulging."
"Hey, there's a little pit behind her chubby hand."
"Hey, her mouth is flat!"
The little doll saw that the living people were circling around her, and from time to time she reached out and poked and touched, her small mouth was flattened, and she cried.
Chen Mengwei hurriedly threw down her father, came up to pick up the little doll, and coaxed with a smile: "Ye'er don't cry, recognize it, this is my sister-in-law, this is my aunt." ”
Xiao Ye'er's crying gradually became quieter, but she snorted and smoking, secretly looking at the person named Xiaojiao and Xiaojiao.
"Oops, I forgot to pick up my toys!" Xiao Zhao suddenly thought of a way to please his little niece, turned around and ran two steps, and then turned back to greet Chen Mengzhi, "Come on, a lot, help me get it!" ”
Chen Mengzhi felt that she had come in a hurry and didn't bring anything good, but when she heard Xiao Zhao's greeting, she agreed crisply, and ran out with Xiao Zhao.
Chen Laocai smiled, got up and said, "Let Mengwei and Xiao Ye'er be quiet, let's go to the hall to talk!" ”
Xu Qili hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Father-in-law, please first." ”
The two came to the hall and sat down, drinking tea, Xu Qili talked about the things in office, and then talked about returning to Beijing to take up his post.
"It's better to be a Beijing official, so many officials have sharpened their heads." Chen Laocai nodded with satisfaction and said, "We don't want anything else, it's best to be able to reunite with the whole family." ”
Xu Qi echoed and said, "Mengwei is the happiest, she has no relatives and no reason outside, and she always misses her. Although there are letters from time to time, they are not very complete. The situation at home in the past few years has been good, right? ”
Chen Laocai stroked his beard and smiled: "Isn't it good? Not to mention that your Xu family's trading is making money, and our Chen family has also been stained with a lot of light. In Guanzhong, only the land of the Xu and Chen families is now planted with cotton, and the farmers on the village can be regarded as eating the imperial grain. ”
Xu Qili was not very clear about this, and asked: "The son-in-law also heard that the benefits of planting cotton are very large, but in the end, it is still 'food for the sky', presumably the imperial court also has restrictions, and will not allow farmers to plant." ”
Chen Laocai nodded and said, "There should be this concern, but our two are experimental fields, and Guanzhong only approved this one." ”
Looking at his father-in-law's slightly satisfied look, Xu Qili smiled and said: "Xiao Lang's heart is lively, and he is even favored by His Majesty, and he has to make some benefits for his own family, and he has to be justified." ”
Chen Laocai said: "Xiaolang is indeed very methodical, he has done a good job in Ganzhou, and his reputation is also very loud in the capital. I just don't know if I want to be an official in Beijing, or if I want to be released again. ”
Xu Qili pondered for a moment and said, "The son-in-law thinks that the possibility of release will be greater. ”
Chen Laocai thought for a while and said, "Because of Qianzhuang, Xiaolang is afraid that he will offend many people. It's also good to put it out, which saves a lot of trouble. ”
"The son-in-law has heard of Qian Zhuang, but he doesn't know much about it." Xu Qili asked, "Please tell your father-in-law in detail, why do you offend people?" ”
Chen Laocai nodded, described the general function of the money bank, and finally concluded: "No one knew about it before, and no one was optimistic about it. Now I think it is a stable and profitable way, and I want to buy shares, but the money bank does not accept it. I think some people will definitely blame Xiao Lang for this. ”
Xu Qili thought for a while and asked, "Isn't this more money the better, why does Xiaolang refuse to leave people?" ”
Chen Laocai shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. If you take money from others, you have to make money and earn money. If there is no such way, it will be a waste of more money, and it will dilute the income of old shareholders. ”
Xu Qili understood, and said: "There are still shares of Da Yingku, and if you earn less, the royal side will be dissatisfied." ”
"I'm afraid Xiaolang has such concerns." Chen Laocai smiled and said, "However, this matter is definitely not something he can decide, and it is useless for those people to complain." ”
Xu Qili hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiaolang has the ability to govern the place, and according to the opinion of the son-in-law, it is okay to hand over the envoy of the Great Yingku." In the end, it was just the equivalent of the royal inner house. ”
Chen Laocai blinked his eyes and disagreed with his son-in-law's statement. Although the official position of this big Ying Ku Cheng is different from that of a serious court official, it is easier to get the favor and favor of His Majesty.
Even if it is sent to the local area and continues to be in charge of the big Yingku, isn't the power greater, and the relationship with the royal family is not closer?
While he was talking, the next person came in and said that the meal was ready, should the banquet be opened immediately?
"I haven't eaten at home in years, have you?" Chen Laocai smiled like a master: "Finish eating early, and you should rest early." ”
Xu Qili said with a smile: "If you want to talk about the food at home, it is really delicious. It took a long time for Mou and Xiaowei to get used to the food outside, but this taste is really not flattering. ”
While the two were talking, the servants had already set up the tables and chairs, and the wine and food were brought up, and the fragrance immediately diffused, causing Xu Qili to sniff hard.
There was not much time, and with bursts of laughter, Chen Mengwei and others also came to the hall.
Xiao Ye'er was completely attracted by the toy in Chen Mengzhi and Xiao Zhao's hands, holding a doll in her arms, grinning non-stop.
Xiao Zhao and Chen Mengzhi competed for performance, circling Xiao Ye'er. Shaking the windmill for a while, shaking the drum for a while, and holding a mask and putting it on his face for a while, making Xiao Ye'er turn left and right, giggling with laughter.
……………
"I'm sure I'll be home tomorrow!" Scarlett fanned Xu Qilin, but her eyes looked at the moonlight outside the window.
Xu Qilin hummed and was reading the imperial court newspaper.
Seeing that Ah Lang was absent-minded, Scarlett emphasized again: "Even if you are greedy for darkness, we must also go to sleep at home." ”
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "It's comfortable to sleep at home, and the pillows and bedding are all familiar feelings." ”
Scarlett nodded: "Yes, I always don't sleep comfortably outside, and this eating and drinking is also awkward." ”
Xu Qilin put down the newspaper, patted Scarlett's face gently, and said, "It's really a crime to accompany me out of the house." When you first arrived in Ganzhou, you were still unaccustomed to the water and soil, and you were sick! ”
Scarlett pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "A little illness will be cured in a few days, but it can't be called a crime." ”
After a pause, the girl smiled and said, "Who made you Ah Lang, who does the slave family follow if you don't follow you?" ”
Xu Qilin smiled, stretched out his hand to stroke the girl's golden hair, looked out the window, and said slowly: "The capital is not very calm, it is not good to stay for ten days and a half months, and I have to travel far again!" ”
Scarlett lowered her eyelids and said, "Can it be farther than Ganzhou?" It doesn't matter if it's far away, you also said that you would take the slave family to see the sea! ”
"It's not easy to see the sea, so if you find a reason, you can be sent out." Xu Qilin's hand stopped on the back of the girl's shoulder and patted it gently, "Denglai is good." It's so refreshing to see the sea and eat seafood! ”
"Be sure to take me with you!" Adjani was practicing calligraphy on the table next to her, and as soon as she heard about eating seafood, she immediately raised her head.
Xu Qilin glanced at the foodie and scolded: "Write well, if you can't write well, I won't take you anywhere." ”
Adjani stuck out her tongue and lowered her head with bony eyes.
There was a sudden noise outside, Xu Qilin frowned, listened carefully, and said suspiciously: "It seems that Fang Er is yelling." ”
"You're practicing martial arts again, right?" Scarlett didn't care, and guessed casually.
Xu Qilin listened carefully, shook his head and said, "No, I have to go and see, don't something happen?" So saying, he got up and walked out, and took the saber hanging from his hand.
"Take someone with you, Alang be careful!" Scarlett didn't forget to tell her in the back.
Xu Qilin waved his hand and didn't look back, "You two stay in the house and don't move, just go back." ”
The closer he got, the more real Xu Qilin listened, in addition to Fang Er's roar, there was also the sound of tinkling and clanging, and there was even the cry of Xiaoye.
Listening to the screams of the night, it doesn't seem to be frightened and scared, but a little excited, more like standing on the feet to cheer.
Xu Qilin quickened his pace, and this time he heard more clearly.
Xiao Ye was shouting, "Hit, hit hard." Brother Jun, mighty. Something like that.
Xu Qilin came to the front yard of the store, only to find that the hall was a mess, Fang Er had already knocked over several people, and the stick in his hand was still dancing vigorously, as if he was posing?
The hall faces the stairs and goes up to the second floor. Xiao Ye was standing in the middle of the stairs, jumping and screaming, as excited as if she was watching a play.
Fang Er was devoting himself to the performance, but Xiao Ye saw Xu Qilin rushing over with someone, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Ah Lang, beat the bad guys, they dare to tease me." ”
Molestation?! Do you know what molesting is?
Xu Qilin put aside his doubts, stepped forward and kicked a guy who was about to get up.
There were seven or eight people on the other side, and five or six were knocked over by Fang Er, and only two were left hiding next to them and screaming.
As soon as Xu Qilin made a move, how could his bodyguards not compete for performance, stepped forward and kicked and subdued several guys on the ground.
Fang Er also stopped the stick and viciously forced the last two guys.
"Hey, you-" Seeing that his subordinates were all cleaned up, this good-looking boy was scared, but he still held on, and shouted tremblingly: "You know, so-and-so, who is so-and-so? ”
A middle-aged man who seemed to be a housekeeper swallowed his saliva hard, and had the courage to stop in front of Brother Gongzi, "This is the righteous son of Yunguo, you, you must not, you must not be rude and presumptuous." ”
Yun Guogong? Fang Er scratched his head and turned his gaze to Xu Qilin, who also came over.
"Yun Guogong Zhang Liang." Xu Qilin sneered and said lightly: "It's still a righteous son, it should be regarded as Zhang Shenxing's righteous brother!" ”
Fang Er smiled, approached again, and scolded: "Zhang Liang is a fart, even his own son Zhang Shenxing, and Lao Tzu is also correct." And you godson. ”
The housekeeper was about to speak, but Fang Er was already impatient, and the head of the stick poked out and stabbed him in the stomach. The housekeeper immediately bent over his stomach in pain and collapsed.
Then, Fang Eryi waved his stick and made a gesture to fight, and Brother Gongzi was so frightened that his mother squatted down with his head covered.
Xu Qilin shook his head, just such a coward, and also a person who flirts with a woman from a good family? Zhang Liang's adopted son is really unsuccessful.
Xiao Ye had already run down the stairs, suddenly crossed Xu Qilin and Fang Er, jumped in front of Brother Gongzi, raised his foot and kicked, kicked and kicked again, shouting while fighting: "Bad guy, kick you to death, kick you to death." ”
Brother Gongzi still wants to resist, Fang Er is next to him, and the stick head is another one, using the move of a spear. The stab is not dead, but it is very heavy, and Brother Gongzi immediately had the same expression as the housekeeper, holding his stomach and slumping to the ground.
At this moment, Xiao Ye kicked more smoothly, regardless of his head and face, he stomped and kicked randomly.
"Take a break!" Xu Qilin stopped Xiaoye at the right time, this girl's face was red, and she was so tired that she was snorting.
Fang Er stretched out his foot and pulled Brother Gongzi, knowing that although Xiaoye fought happily, it didn't cause much damage, and reprimanded: "Don't pretend to be dead, say, what's your name." ”
Brother Gongzi opened his eyes, looked at Fang Er, didn't dare to be stubborn, and replied honestly: "Zhang Shenji." ”
Speaking of Zhang Shenji, I have to mention the strange Zhang Liang. abandoned his wife and married the arrogant and lascivious Li, and since then he has both love and fear. Later, the Li family had an affair with someone, but Zhang Liang adopted this person as his adopted son and named him Zhang Shenji.
That's right, it was the cowardly in front of him who gave Zhang Liang a green hat and became Zhang Liang's godson. You said this, it's really a mess.
Xu Qilin didn't know about this mess, but he knew that Zhang Liang had a lot of godsons, as if there were more than 500 people. I don't know what crazy this guy is smoking, why do you get so many godsons?
Moreover, so many godsons don't say that they are filial or not, but they killed Zhang Liang.
Here's the thing, someone accused Zhang Liang of plotting rebellion, and His Majesty Li Er sent someone to try it, and two of the godsons testified that it was true.
His Majesty Li Er made the final decision: "Zhang Liang privately raised 500 righteous sons, just to rebel." As a result, Zhang Liang was taken to Chang'an West City to be beheaded, and all his family's property was confiscated.
Some people say that Zhang Liang was wronged, and the two godsons were framed, and there was no physical evidence or anything. But Zhang Liang's character determines his tragedy to a large extent.
For the Li family, who is lascivious and arrogant by nature, Zhang Liang does not control it, but connives. And the Li family also likes witches and wizards, which is taboo in the feudal dynasty.
In the end, Zhang Liang also because of the proverb: "The lord of the bow chief should be Bedang". and the words of warlocks such as "I have a concubine, and the clouds will be the kings' concubines", and it was proved that he had the intention of rebellion.
Zhang Shen reported his name several times, but for Fang Er and Xu Qilin, he didn't feel anything.
At this point, both of them felt that it was time to end. If Zhang Shenji can't be killed, it doesn't make sense to turn it over to the officer.
"Let them fuck off." Xiao Ye's words can be regarded as putting an end to this matter, "Don't let me see it in the future, see it once and fight again." ”
Hehe, who did you learn this from, the little girl grabbed my lines!
