Chapter 188: Not doing business
Early in the morning, Li Xiuwen practiced in the courtyard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He clearly felt that in addition to the beginning when his kung fu improved by leaps and bounds, in the following half a year, the progress in kung fu was not very obvious.
This made Li Xiuwen a little depressed, could it be that he couldn't beat Wang Bing in his life?
After practicing the swordsmanship again, I heard Yang Yuankui praise on the side: "Brother-in-law's swordsmanship is really good-looking!" β
Li Xiuwen put away the sword, turned around and saw him holding a book in his right hand, and said with a smile: "Yuan Kui also got up so early to study?" β
Yang Yuankui is now thirteen years old, according to the algorithm of the ancients' imaginary age. In the modern world, this is only the age of the sixth grade of primary school.
Since he came to the capital, he rarely seems to go out to play. All day, they either stayed in the small courtyard where their father and son lived, or they studied hard in the study.
This made Li Xiuwen a little worried, don't make people a nerd.
Yang Yuankui nodded very seriously and said: "Well, my father said that only by studying hard can you make contributions in the future." β
As the so-called ten-year cold window no one asks, it becomes famous all over the world in one fell swoop. In this era, it is really difficult for men to have a second way out except to study hard.
Li Xiuwen wiped the sweat from his face and asked, "What are you reading today?" β
"It's the Analects."
Yang Yuankui replied, looked at Li Xiuwen and said with some hesitation: "Brother-in-law, I'm ...... I want to ......"
"What's wrong?" Li Xiuwen said.
"I want to learn swordsmanship from you." Yang Yuankui said at this time.
"That's fine. However, the way of martial arts cannot be achieved overnight. If I teach you swordsmanship and delay your study, your sister will talk about me. β
Looking at his thin figure, Li Xiuwen felt that it seemed that it was not bad to let him learn some kung fu. Anyway, the master and his old man have never said that this swordsmanship cannot be passed on to the outside world.
"No, I can practice martial arts without delaying my studies." Yang Yuankui said confidently.
"Nacheng, I'll teach you Zama step first, this is the foundation."
Li Xiuwen said, and guided the brother-in-law to set up a horse in the yard in the way Wang Bing had taught him.
Afterwards, he sat on a wicker chair in the courtyard and sipped the fragrant tea.
Yang Yuxuan saw this scene, walked over and said angrily: "Xianggong, how do you teach him this?" β
Li Xiuwen replied with a smile: "Let Yuan Kui learn some kung fu, and it will be used for self-defense in the future." β
"Not doing business. If my father sees this, I'll have to talk about me again. Yang Yuxuan complained.
"Not doing your job? Why isn't this a proper job? β
Li Xiuwen frowned. Although the imperial examination is the right way, learning martial arts can't be regarded as a bad job, right? Is it true that everything other than reading is a miracle?
The concepts of modern people and ancient times will inevitably collide.
Yang Yuxuan saw that he was slightly angry, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he paused and said, "Oh, my father hopes that he will gain fame in the future." β
"Hmphβ"
Li Xiuwen snorted coldly, and felt that it was necessary to change her pedantic concept: "I have no objection to gaining fame, but if you say that Yuan Kui can only study for the rest of his life and be a literati who has no power to tie his hands." One day there was an accident, even he and his family couldn't protect him, he just came back with a top prize, and I couldn't look down on it! β
"This ......"
Yang Yuxuan was surprised when she heard this. She really didn't expect that as a literati, Li Xiuwen would be so disdainful of weak scholars, and she really didn't know what to say for a while.
Thinking about it, I feel aggrieved, Li Xiuwen has rarely spoken to her seriously.
"Brother-in-law......"
Yang Yuankui, who was on the side, saw him reprimanding his sister, and Zamabu's movements also stopped, and he got up to persuade him. Li Xiuwen scolded with a straight face: "Squat down and take steps, did I let you get up?" Since you have decided to learn kung fu from me, I will be your master. Don't get up without my consent! β
"Oh-"
Yang Yuankui had no choice but to squat down again and tie up his horse.
Li Xiuwen nodded with satisfaction, turned his head, and saw Yang Yuxuan's aggrieved look, and felt a little unbearable. However, the majesty of a man still has to be there, and he can't just say a few words to her and immediately coax her.
If the effect is achieved, everything should be done in moderation.
He softened his face and said, "You can go back and think about it yourself, my father-in-law, I'll go and make it clear to him again." β
Today is the day when the goods arrive in Beijing.
Most of that batch of smuggled salt was sold in the Gyeonggi area, and the rest was to be transported into the capital. In order to prevent Wen Tiren from coming to make trouble again, Li Xiuwen personally went to Chongwenmen and waited for Sun Mingwen to transport goods into Beijing.
Today's Chongwen Gate banknotes, Xu Jiang arranged for his cronies to guard it. This cronie's name is Guan Shan, a hundred households in Nanzhen, and he followed a small banner of Xu Jiang earlier.
Guan Shan had followed Li Xiuwen to Jiangnan before, but he was not so restrained in front of him. He stepped forward and saluted, and asked, "Your Excellency, come here, but do you have something to order?" β
"Leave me alone, I'll take a look at it."
Li Xiuwen waved his hand and sent him away. So he stood aside and waited quietly.
In the area of the capital, the Jinyi Guard is huge, and it is difficult for Wen Tiren to play tricks.
When the goods entered the capital smoothly, Li Xiuwen went back to Fusi in Nanzhen, and then went to the small courtyard in Ding Xiaocheng.
In the capital, Jinyiwei's intelligence network is very large, and many officials' homes are covered with eyeliner. Li Xiuwen belongs to Nanzhen and can't interfere with this intelligence network. can only go to Xiao Yun for help at a critical time.
After the chess pieces planted in Wen Tiren's house were exposed, Han Lin was also brought out by the way. Li Xiuwen withdrew him and went to Sihailou with Han Lin to help. On weekdays, just let them ask for some news on the surface.
As early as when he returned to Beijing this year, Li Xiuwen brought back a group of people and set up a second intelligence network. This matter, except for Chen Yi, who is far away in Kaifeng, is currently known only to him.
Han Lin was transferred, and the daily work of reporting news was handed over to Ding Xiaocheng. happened to go out today, Li Xiuwen didn't wait for him to find him, and came over directly.
After Ding Xiaocheng finished reporting, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Childe, there is still something ...... subordinates"
Li Xiuwen listened quietly, but he didn't follow, and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." β
"Hey, heyβ"
Ding Xiaocheng grinned before saying, "My subordinates are also of age, and they haven't married a daughter-in-law yet." I fell in love with the maid Cui'er beside my wife, and wanted to ask my son to promise her to me. β
Li Xiuwen realized this, dare to love that he often went over to report the news, and fell in love with the maid next to Yang Yuxuan?
During this period, the personal maid almost grew up with the master since childhood. The young lady of a large family generally learns some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from an early age. The close-fitting maid is also knowledgeable.
Under normal circumstances, the maid who accompanies the marriage is equivalent to a maid in the room, and in the end they are all accepted.
Although Cui'er's appearance is okay, Li Xiuwen has no such thoughts. I think Ding Xiaocheng heard about this and dared to make such a request.
This kid has a good eye.
These people are all Hawkeye's little leaders, although there is no big problem in terms of loyalty, they are not as good as Li Dong and the others.
The maids in the family are still very young, and even if they are married, they will still do something in the house. If you can use this as a shackle, it would be a good thing to let Ding Xiaocheng and others work for themselves with peace of mind.
Li Xiuwen suddenly felt that it was necessary for him to go to the tooth shop again and buy a few beautiful maids and come back.
After weighing it in his heart, he reached out and patted Ding Xiaocheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "What should I do, this is easy to do, but it has to be agreed by Cui'er herself, I will go back and ask her what she means." β
Ding Xiaocheng saw that he agreed, and said happily: "Thank you, son." β
I had reprimanded my wife in the morning, and now I had to lick my face and ask her for someone.
When I came out of the courtyard, it was already dusk. Li Xiuwen shook his head with a smile and rushed home.
In the corner in the distance, Huang Kaicheng flashed out and watched him leave quietly. (To be continued.) )
