Chapter 44: A Letter from Zhang Zhong
Chapter 44: A Letter from Zhang Zhong
Hongshan Township and his party gave Xu Qing a great touch, first of all, the Hu family is only a landlord, and it has been passed down for several generations, so it can have such a good heritage, which shows the great power of the family.
Secondly, the Hu family relied on a few acres of land to build a small market town, and the county government also had hands and feet, which shows the ability of the person in charge.
Xu Qing knocked on the side that day, only to know that the Hu family has many branches, in addition to the Hu Fu family's Steward Zhao, there are other stewards, but Hu Fu is in charge of the Hu family's grange as a representative. Steward Zhao is just Hu Fu's errand, and he is not the hero of the Xu family's industry at all.
Who is it? I heard from the Hu family that the Hu family has a general ledger room named Yang Wen, who usually manages all kinds of cashiers and disbursements, and is unwilling to move away with the Hu family, so he is the trustee of the Hu family's property, and he gave it to Xu Qing together, which can be regarded as the housekeeper of the delivery. Could it be him?
I'm really looking forward to it......
In the evening, Xu Qinggang was about to take advantage of the darkness to tease Xun Xue'er, when Uncle Zheng ran in: "Sir, a young man outside the door asked to see him, saying that he was from Shandong......"
"Shandong?" Xu Qing has never thought about Shandong since he came to Luonan, and suddenly a guest from Shandong came, his first reaction was Zhang Zhong, but it was a young man, could it be ...... Xu Qing guessed a bad thing.
"Invite him in, and then go to the hot meal...... Xu Qing said.
The maidservants in the surrounding houses were all giggling, and there were too few things to do at Xu Qing's house. Xu Qing was sitting on the flower bed waiting for someone, and a handsome young man walked in front of him, looking like he was suffering from sleeping in the open. said that he was a teenager, and he was only one year younger than Xu Qing, but he was older in Xu Qing's heart, so in Xu Qing's eyes, a teenager was almost a high school student.
"Master, are you Xu Chuliu?" The timid way of the young man,
"Who are you Uncle Zhang, what is your name?" Xu Qing did not answer the rhetorical question. When the young man heard this, he was immediately exhausted, and said excitedly:
"My name is Zhang Linlin, and I am Zhang Zhong's nephew......"
"What are you doing looking for me, Uncle Zhang is in trouble?"
"I, my uncle, are gone,......," Zhang said gloomily.
"Alas......" Xu Qing just sighed heavily, recalling the scenes between him and Zhang Zhong, Zhang Zhong's bowl of millet porridge, his care when he was sick, Zhang Zhong's appearance when he was ten years younger, and the appearance of Zhang Zhong leaving lonely on the last day. seems to be still the person in front of him, but he has long been separated by yin and yang.
For a long time, Xu Qing struggled out of his memories, he was very grateful to Zhang Zhong, if it weren't for Zhang Zhong, Xu Qing wouldn't have everything now. Zhang Zhong asked this kid to come to him, I'm afraid I should take good care of him, Xu Qing thought that he could only repay his gratitude to Zhang Zhong on Zhang Linlin.
"Forestry, your Uncle Zhang is my reborn parents, you treat me as a brother, and I treat you like a brother."
"Master, I don't dare, this, here is Uncle Zhang's letter to you......"
"There's nothing you dare, you're my brother now! Come, go to dinner with me......" Xu Qing wrote and took him to the house for dinner.
"Forestry, how did you get here, Shandong is so big......" Xu Qing obviously forgot about his own business. Zhang Forestry said while eating unhurriedly:
"After Uncle Zhang entered the grave, I listened to Uncle Zhang's instructions and sold the farmland......"
"In my family's mountain col, there are few people who buy land, so I can only sell it cheaply, together with Uncle Zhang's 70 acres of land, it was only sold for fifteen taels of silver, plus five stones of wheat, I finally dragged the wheat out of the mountain and sold it......"
"After selling the wheat, I did not dare to take a caravan on the road, for fear that they would worry about my money, so I inquired all the way here. The county government asked me for a few taels of silver, so I could inquire about the old ... Sixth brother Chu, you have three or four taels left in your house, oh yes, yes, yes, Chu ...... Sixth brother, I'll give you all ......"
Zhang Forestry finished his story intermittently while eating, and Xu Qing leaned on the broken silver handed over by Zhang Forestry on the table, feeling uncomfortable. He took out an ingot of five taels from his pocket, and handed the silver on the table back to Zhang Linlin.
"Forestry, keep the money yourself, and I'll give you something to do in a few days."
"Thank you, old ...... The sixth brother ...... junior high school"
At night, Xu Qing arranged for Zhang Forestry to sleep in Uncle Zheng's house, but there was no way, the room in Xu Qing's house was really squeezed out. Lighting the lamp, Xu Qing opened Zhang Zhong's letter, the letter paper was very thick, Zhang Zhong said a lot of parents, said how much he missed Xu Qing these days, said that he had no descendants so sad, and then said that Zhang Forestry was his successor son.
Xu Qing felt a little sad when he read the letter, even if he was such a meritorious soldier and had an official body, he could only die so tragically in the end. However, Xu Qing was surprised by a sentence in the letter, which was translated into modern words:
"Sixth year old, you're from a far, far away place, you're different from everyone else!"
If it weren't for Zhang Zhong's departure, Xu Qing would still want to ask him how he saw it. Looking down at the letter, Xu Qing's feeling became more and more incredible.
Zhang Zhong said that he was originally a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, and later followed the uprising, and then was reorganized.
He said that he heard a rumor by chance, in the former Sui period, Emperor Wen of Sui had secretly sacrificed once, invited the soul of the later generations to come up, in order to ask the Sui Dynasty Zuo Ji Ji, the soul of the later generations said that the Sui only two generations and three passes, Emperor Wen of Sui was furious, destroyed the altar, killed the people of the priest's sect, returned to the court and began to suspect the prince, and then Yang Guang had an opportunity to take advantage of.
This little story makes Xu Qinghou afraid, if there is really such a thing as recruiting the soul of the afterlife, then, isn't it very likely that there will be more traversers? Do you want to feel fortunate or in crisis?
This is as terrible as the question of whether there are aliens in the world, it is not aliens that are terrible, but the existence of more powerful and ruthless aliens, who knows their civilization!
"Huh, this rumor is just that, I have never heard of it in the past year in Tang......" Xu Qing comforted himself, and secondly, he didn't have time to worry about other traversers now, and now thousands of people could kill him.
Continue to read the letter, what is said below is homely again, talking about Zhang Linlin, saying Zhang Linlin's father, saying Zhang Linlin's mother. Zhang Zhongxin said that Zhang Linlin's mother got married at the age of thirteen and did not keep it when she gave birth.
At the end of the letter, Zhang Zhong said the names of a few comrades-in-arms who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and asked Xu Qing to take care of them if they touched it. This can be regarded as Zhang Zhong's last little concern, it seems that Zhang Zhong really regards Xu Qing as a person who supports orphans, and he has to explain such an impossible thing.
The next day, Xu Qing took Zhang Forestry to get to know him, and finally asked him to worship Shangguan Yi as a master, Shangguan Yi was frightened by Xu Qing's decision, and he knew that in the future, he entered the house and became the first person who was not a hero to protect the country and ascended to Lingyan Pavilion.
worshiped Shangguan Yi as a teacher, a famous teacher produces a high apprentice, in fact, it is not necessarily, the rest depends on Zhang Linlin himself. And Zhang Zhong doesn't want Zhang Forestry to inherit the position of his government soldier, he also wants Zhang Forestry to live a safe life. If Zhang Forestry does not succeed in the future, Xu Qing will also ensure that he is stable for the rest of his life, so that Zhang Zhong will not be an heir. In this way, it is not considered to live up to Zhang Zhong's trust.
