Chapter Seventy-One: Li Ruoxing Calls for the Suppression of Thieves
Gao Junshan hurriedly persuaded the old lady: "Auntie, young people are not sensible, they still need to be taught slowly, and they can't be in a hurry." ”
The old lady chattered to Gao Junshan and complained: "Cough, this grandson who doesn't grow up, he can't wait for a doctor Qi, his daughter-in-law gave birth at home, and has been screaming in bed for two days, and his father is not at home, so he went to Ruyang to do errands." Our old Li family has three generations of single transmission, no, he told him a daughter-in-law before he was twenty years old, and now it's good, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and screamed the sky, he has nothing to do, and he can't wait for a doctor Qi, it's really urgent! ”
The young man still stiffened his mouth: "I just can't wait!" I just heard from the people in the village that there are a lot of robbers outside, and I'm afraid that Dr. Qi has been arrested by the robbers. ”
The old lady was even more anxious, pointing to her eldest grandson and saying to Gao Junshan: "Look at it! Look! Tell her to wait for Dr. Qi, he doesn't go to the village to wait for him, he hides behind the door, can Dr. Qi come? ”
Gao Junshan comforted the old lady and said, "Auntie, don't worry, it's not good if you're in a hurry." My daughter-in-law has just given birth, and the two midwives have not left yet, but they are at the entrance of the village, and I can ask them to deliver your granddaughter-in-law. ”
The old lady seemed to have found a savior, and she said happily: "That feeling is good!" Invite them to come! ”
The young man said, "Grandma, we don't know them, how can we trouble others!" ”
"No trouble! No hassle! Gao Junshan said again and again, and then said to Zhang Cong, "Zhang Cong, you go and invite the midwives who delivered the second and third ladies to the midwife, there is someone here who needs them, go and come back quickly!" ”
After Zhang Cong turned around and left, the old lady said enthusiastically: "Three guest officers, please come and sit in the house!" ”
"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey. Let's go to my mother's house and sit down. ”
The host enthusiastically led the three distinguished guests into the yard, the family is indeed a big family, the yard is set with the yard, there are more than 50 rooms alone, and the yard is planted with a lot of flowers and plants, which is extremely beautiful.
Passing through the front yard, it is the living room, the old lady asked the next person to prepare tea, sat on the Taishi chair in the east, waved her hand and asked Gao Junshan and a few others to sit down.
Gao Junshan and Han Yuyan sat on the two stools on the west side, and Sun Kewang stood behind them.
"This big brother, you sit too!" The old lady greeted warmly.
"Auntie, I'm used to it."
Gao Junshan said: "Auntie, don't pay attention to him, it's no problem for the young man to stand for a while." ”
The old lady nodded on the surface, but said in her heart, you are not much older.
At this time, the pain of the mother in the back room came over, and Han Yuyan stood up and said, "Auntie, I'll go in and see your granddaughter-in-law to see if there is anything I can help." ”
The old lady nodded, "Go, go, she was just thinking of someone to talk to her." ”
Han Yuyan glanced at Gao Junshan, Gao Junshan nodded slightly, and Han Yuyan entered the back room.
The old lady praised Gao Junshan and said, "Madame is really good!" ”
Gao Junshan said with a smile: "Thanks to the praise of the eldest mother!" ”
"It's not a compliment, it's a fact."
"Auntie, how is this year's harvest?" Gao Junshan asked.
"Okay, that's good!" The old lady smiled happily, "Let's Xixian 'every year wheat fragrant, year after year rice flowers', we can grow wheat and rice." This guest officer, it's not my aunt who brags, we are here 'it is difficult to buy interest in the county slope with money, half rice, half bun', no one can't eat enough. ”
"Hahaha......," Gao Junshan smiled, "Auntie, you are quite literary when you speak!" ”
The old lady said: "It's not that the eldest lady is literate, it's that everyone here says so." I'll tell you! The old lady lowered her voice a lot, "My granddaughter-in-law, she is also handsome, she is willing to marry my grandson because our family has enough to eat, their family, just one word, 'poor'!" is so poor that a family can only eat one meal. ”
Gao Junshan was chatting happily with the old lady, Zhang Cong brought the two midwives over, and the old lady happily took them into the back room.
Gao Junshan quietly asked Zhang Cong: "Okay, have you seen the people along the way?" ”
Zhang Cong shook his head: "It's still the door of the house is closed." ”
Gao Junshan said to Zhang Cong and Sun Kewang: "You have all worked hard, sit down and rest first." ”
So, the three of them sat in the living room and drank tea silently, waiting for the mother to give birth.
As soon as I was making tea, I heard the crying of babies in the back room, and it was two babies crying.
After a while, the old lady came out happily, with a smile on her face, and said, "It's born!" Raw! ”
Gao Junshan asked, "Is it a girl or a boy?" ”
"Gave birth to two big fat boys!"
"Congratulations, auntie! Congratulations to Auntie! Auntie, you have become a great-grandmother! Gao Junshan also smiled happily.
The old lady took a red envelope and handed it to Gao Junshan: "This guest officer, thanks to the midwife you brought, saved our family, if you hadn't come in time, my granddaughter-in-law might have died." We didn't expect that she was pregnant with twins, and if it dragged on for half a day, the size would not be able to be saved! You are really the savior of our old Li family! ”
Gao Junshan pushed the red envelope back to the old lady: "Auntie, don't say that, I can't ask for this red envelope, we people are just running around to make the people happy and happy to live, we are running around, seeing you happy, our hearts are even happier!" ”
The old lady was unhappy: "The red envelope must be accepted, this is our rule here." Accept the red envelope and be happy and healthy! ”
"Good! Auntie, I'll take it. Gao Junshan respectfully accepted the red envelope, and then said, "Auntie, you still have something to ask for when I come here." ”
The eldest lady smiled and said, "If you don't ask for anything, just say it." ”
Gao Junshan said: "To be honest, we are coming with a team, just at the entrance of the village." We just passed by, and we didn't harass the villagers, just borrowed the treasure land to rest for a day or two. ”
Mrs. God nodded: "I understand." This young master, don't worry, with my old lady's words, no one in this village dares to close the door again. ”
Gao Junshan said: "Thank you, aunt!" Please rest assured, you tell the people in the village that everyone is like a normal day, they can do whatever they want, and we will never harass them. ”
The old lady said: "I can see that this young master is a benevolent and kind-hearted person. ”
At this time, the old lady's housekeeper came to tell her that the guest's meal was ready. The old lady said happily: "Look at me as an old fool, I am so happy that I have forgotten about the guests' meals." ”
Laifu said: "There is one more thing! ”
The old lady asked, "One more thing?" Oh, yes, yes, Laifu, you hurry up and pack up, ride a fast horse, go to Ruyang to find the old man to report the good news, and tell him that our old Li family has a queen! ”
"Yes! Grandma. "Rifle said.
"I'm grandma, I'm grandma!" The old lady was as happy as a child.
……
But it was said that the old lady's housekeeper Laifu rode a fast horse and came to Ruyang Mansion on this day. As soon as he entered, he asked where his master was.
"Who is your master?" Someone asked.
"My lord's name is Li Ruoxing." Lyforth.
The people from the government told him: "Li Ruoxing returned to Xi County ten days ago. ”
"You went back ten days ago? Why haven't we seen the master? Where did he go if he didn't come home? Laifu was puzzled, and led the horse out of the city to rush home.
Who is this Li Ruoxing?
Li Ruoxing, the word Ziyuan, a native of Lijiagou, Chengguan, Xixian County, Henan, was a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1604 AD). Awarded Zaoqiang County, moved to Zhending Mansion, with honest character and outstanding ability, was valued by the government and the opposition, and was not allowed to be reused because he insisted on impeaching the traitorous minister Wei Zhongxian.
Until Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, changed the Yuan Chongzhen, and granted amnesty to the world, Li Ruoxing turned over and was appointed as the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry and the right servant of the Imperial History, the prime minister. Zhu Youzhen posthumously talked about his previous exploits and entered the second rank.
So what happened to Li Ruoxing going to Ruyang?
So it was. He heard that there were thieves on Tongbai Mountain, and went down the mountain to Miyang, so he said goodbye to his family and went to Ruyang, in order to call on the army to fight back against the thieves who came down from Tongbai Mountain. He bitterly appealed to the general soldiers of the four towns to stay and destroy the high mountains before going to Chuzhou.
When Ruyang won a great victory, he persuaded the general army of the four towns to continue to pursue Gao Jun Mountain, at this time the general army of the four towns also suffered a lot of losses, and he was unwilling to gnaw the hard bone of Gao Jun Mountain, so he hurriedly cleaned up and drove to Chuzhou.
Li Ruoxing didn't give up, he also packed up and prepared to go back to his home to find another way to fight the thieves.
Not long after he left the city, he met an old subordinate from Xinyang, who told him that there was a Liao army stationed in Xinyang.
When he arrived in Xinyang, Li Ruoxing not only met Zu Kuan, the general soldier of Liaodong, but also met Zhang Guowei, the governor of Yingtian, these two were also ordered to go to Chuzhou, they did not dare to stay in Henan for a while, and ignored Li Ruoxing's appeal.
Li Ruoxing, who did not give up, went to meet Chen Biqian, the governor of Henan, who happened to be in Xinyang at this time.
"Shao Sikong is here, making the humble house shine!" As soon as Chen Biqian saw Li Ruoxing, he greeted him.
Li Ruoxing arched his hand and said: "Lord Fujun, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I have something to ask for today." ”
Chen Biqian said while giving up his seat: "Shao Sikong said this, which made the subordinate embarrassed, and the subordinate has heard that you are running around, calling for a joint army to pursue and suppress the thief." It is the responsibility of the lower officials to please the thieves and the people, and the young Sikong can rest assured that the lower officials will definitely let Zu Dashuai and Master Zhang join forces with us to exterminate Gao Junshan. ”
Chen Biqian really has a set, I don't know how he persuaded Zu Kuan and Zhang Guowei, anyway, Zu Kuan and Zhang Guowei agreed to fight Gaojun Mountain first, and then go to Chuzhou.
……
East of Xinyang City, Zukuan's military camp.
In the big tent, Zu Kuan was discussing with his generals about suppressing thieves.
"Newspaper-" Tanma came to report, "The men and horses of Gao Junshan waded across the Huai River, but their grain and grass were waiting for the ferry. ”
Zu Kuan's deputy general Xu Zhiqiang said: "Dashuai, this is a good opportunity to destroy Gao Jun Mountain, the last general will ask for his life, burn his grain and grass, and pound his baggage ......"
"Uh......," Zu Kuan interrupted Xu Zhiqiang's words, "Xu Dingguo, Tang Jiuzhou, Wang Zhiren, and Li Bei's four town commanders, 100,000 people, have not eliminated Gao Jun Mountain, and we can wipe out Gao Jun Mountain with our four thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry?" ”
Xu Zhiqiang said: "Isn't there still Zhang Guowei's 20,000 horses?" ”
Wu Sangui, a staff general on the side, said: "Dashuai, I have a plan to capture Gao Junshan." ”
Zu Kuan had a very good relationship with Wu Xiang, and he turned to the young Wu Sangui: "Brother Changbo, please speak." ”
