Chapter 38 To Chengdu
Gradually, the weather cooled down, the osmanthus tree by the well grew a piece of golden, the rich osmanthus fragrance made Li Qing groggy all day, in a few days, he and the drunken restaurant lease contract will expire, he must start to arrange the aftermath, the store to return the drunken restaurant, the owner has changed, the new owner refuses to renew the lease, Li Qing is also determined to go to Chengdu to develop.
In one summer, Li Qing earned 2,000 yuan, which may be just a drizzle in the eyes of Xian Yu Zhongtong, but in Li Qing's view, this is undoubtedly an astronomical amount, his monthly salary in his previous life was only 2,000 yuan, and to earn a wealth equivalent to 2 million yuan, for him, it is unthinkable, with this wealth as the foundation, he is a lot harder to talk and do, maybe this is the confidence brought by money.
All the employees have paid a generous severance pay, if they want to go to Chengdu with themselves to develop, he can take it away, and in the future, he will be developed, and they will be indispensable to a benefit, but his employees are all Langzhong villagers, Li Qing does not have much hope, but except for two people, everyone else is willing to go to Chengdu with him, even including Song Mei, she can no longer find such a good owner, even Lao Yu who drove the car also resigned from the errand of the mule and horse shop, and was willing to go along, Li Qing was overjoyed, and immediately agreed with everyone to set off at a time.
In the early morning of this day, Li Qingzheng and Lian'er packed up their things, and Li Qing had already bought it at an ultra-low price of ten times and gave it to Xiaoyu's parents, which was regarded as a dowry.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the yard, "Childe, Brother Yang is here!" Xiaoyu screamed in the kitchen.
"Oh!" Li Qing dropped the account book in his hand and was about to go out, when Yang Zhao had already stepped into the door, "When does Brother Li plan to leave?" Seeing that the house was in shambles, he hesitated for a moment, but did not come in.
"Let's go! Let's talk in the yard. Li Qing patted him on the shoulder and led him to the courtyard.
The curtain hurriedly set up tables and chairs in the courtyard, Xiaoyu brought a few side dishes and a pot of wine, the curtain poured the wine for the two, and said with a smile: "You drink slowly, if the wine and food are not enough, call me!" She put on an apron again, and went to the kitchen to help Xiaoyu cook, since the Pei Rou incident, the curtain also asked Xiaoyu the truth of the matter, she was angry and anxious, but she didn't dare to show it, seeing that Li Qing was gradually developing, she became more and more worried, thinking about it before and after, and felt that she was alone, and it was difficult to catch Li Qing's heart, so she acquiesced to Xiaoyu's future status, and then formed a united front with her to deal with external threats.
"Brother Li is so blessed! One of the two younger siblings is more virtuous than the other, and much stronger than my mother-in-law. Yang Zhao stared at the back of the curtain and said with envy.
Li Qinggang took a sip of wine, and when he heard this, he almost choked him to death, "Brother Yang said that he was laughing, sister-in-law is spicy and capable, this is a blessing"
"Forget it, don't mention her, I'm here today to discuss something important with my brother."
When Li Qing heard him say solemnly, he suddenly remembered something in his heart, and was suddenly shocked, could he be going to enter Beijing?
"Brother Yang, please speak!"
Yang Zhao picked up a glass of wine, stopped talking, raised his neck and drank it all, and sighed for a long time before he sighed: "I'm really a little unwilling!" ”
"Why?" Li Qing poured the wine for him again and asked.
"I wanted to have a future in the army before, but unfortunately the luck was not good, mixed with poverty, thanks to the meeting of Brother Li, the livelihood was improved, and now my wife and children are also taken care of by my brother, and they have something to eat, I will also put my mind at ease, since my brother wants to go to Chengdu to develop, I also want to go to Chengdu to try my luck, a few brothers in the army in the past were officials in Chengdu, to see if they have any way."
After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhao said again: "Actually, I came today and wanted to ask my brother for help." ”
"If the eldest brother has something to say, just say it, since they are brothers, why bother spitting!"
Yang Zhao nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will say it directly, I know that the proprietor of the drunken township building is a powerful person in Beijing, if I can get his support, it will be easier for me to act, but there is no way to take refuge, I heard that he has some friendship with his brother, next time my brother goes to him, can he take me with me, I suspect that he is Li Zhen, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu." ”
Li Qing secretly admired, this person is really good at drilling, and he will not let go of any opportunity that is beneficial to him, so good! Since he decided to bet the treasure on him, he simply did it to the end.
Thinking of this, Li Qing got up and said with a smile: "He is not Li Zhen, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, he is Li Lin, who is not driving in Yizhou, he gave me a famous thorn, big brother, wait a minute, I'll look for it." ”
But just after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, Yang Zhao was recommended by the bureaucrats in Shuzhong, the six words 'Deputy Envoy of Jiannan Jiedu', his mind was like lightning, which made him suddenly think of who this person was, that Zhang Qiu and Qiong were promoted not long after Yang Guozhong took power, which means that Yang Guozhong was very likely to be pushed up by Zhang Qiu and Qiong back then.
Li Qing figured out this section, and the things that followed suddenly became clear, Tianbao four years, Yang Yuhuan established a concubine, and then Yang Guozhong entered Beijing, such a coincidence, it must be the current Jiannan Jiedu envoy Zhang Qiu and Qiong's arrangement.
Li Qing didn't take any more famous stabs, turned around and smiled: "I almost forgot, the father-in-law of the curtain is Xian Yu Zhongtong, the interview envoy of Jiannan Dao, he has a very good relationship with the Jiedu envoy, why don't I introduce you to him, wouldn't it be more convenient, and the Li Lin who gave me the name thorn is actually just a business dealing, and he may not be willing to help in this officialdom." ”
Yang Zhao was overjoyed, he had long known that Xian Yu Zhongtong was a well-known figure in both Jiannan and official business, but he turned out to be the father-in-law of Lian'er, Yang Zhao only wanted to smoke himself a few big mouths, how could he not know such important information earlier, three months! He didn't even pay attention to the curtain, he glanced at the kitchen, and there was a three-point stutter in his eyes.
Li Qing went back to the room and took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to Yang Zhao and said: "It costs money to find a way, I can't help you as a brother, these two hundred taels of silver are a little bit of my heart, I just hope that the eldest brother will not be too little!" ”
Yang Zhao was taken aback, he never expected that Li Qing, who had always been shrewd and stingy, would give him two hundred taels of silver, he was penniless and had nothing to use, which can only show that Li Qingzhen regarded himself as a big brother, Yang Zhao was moved in his heart, silently took the silver, and only said lightly: "I have nothing to say, if I develop in the future, I will definitely return the brotherly love." ”
Li Qing smiled slightly and said: "Big brother officialdom, how can you not spend money, these are far from enough, when I make money, I will give more to the eldest brother." ”
He suddenly thought of Yang Yuhuan again, in the future, Yang Zhao will be developed, it will fall on this woman, and he is afraid that history is not true, Li Qing made a provocative statement: "I heard that the eldest brother has a family of sisters, and she is a princess in Beijing, why didn't the eldest brother ask her to find a way?" ”
"You're talking about Yuhuan! She is no longer a princess, for some reason, she suddenly became a monk, and everyone in my clan guessed that she must have offended the current emperor, so the clansmen avoided her family, how could I touch this mold. Yang Zhao's face was worried, his sister was indeed very beautiful, but it was a pity that she was too honest, she could not be defeated in the strange and sinister struggle of the palace, and she would be alone in the green lantern from now on, it was a pity that face.
But Li Qing seized a huge business opportunity from his words, and hurriedly asked: "Just now the eldest brother said that her family was defeated?" ”
"Yes! Her father died early, and the family was originally honest, but after Yuhuan became the princess, there were too many people who came to her house to fight the autumn breeze, plus her mother was kind and never rejected people, and gradually she was a little unable to make ends meet. ”
Yang Zhao sighed again and again after speaking, he himself is not the same as the trend of inflammation, when Yang Yuhuan's family was at its peak, he often went to rub oil, after the death of Yuhuan's father Yang Xuanyan, he also acted as a filial son, single-handedly handling the funeral, and now if he is allowed to come to the door again, I am afraid that it will break his legs, and it will be difficult to move a step.
Li Qing knows the mystery very well, now Yang Yuhuan is the way, but Li Longji wants to cover the eyes of the world, within two years, Yuhuan will be very expensive, if at this time in the snow to send carbon, then how can Yang Yuhuan not be grateful to himself, even if Yang Zhao is ungrateful, but there is another way, this matter is sooner rather than later, if Li Longji can't bear it, he may canonize Yang Yuhuan at any time, at that time, I am afraid that he will not even be able to squeeze in the door of the Yang family, make up his mind, Li Qing smiled at Yang Zhao and said: "When the eldest brother is down, Presumably he has also suffered a lot of white eyes from the clansmen, when the eldest brother returns to his hometown, the younger brother should accompany him, take a good hand, and earn back face for the eldest brother! ”
Yang Zhao didn't know Li Qing's scheming, but he was both moved and happy when he cared about himself, and gently patted Li Qing's hand and smiled: "Okay!" I'll take you there in a few months. ”
The two talked about the wind and the moon again, and when they talked about the wonders, they all laughed loudly, and this meal of wine made their faces red and swollen and their tongues trembled, and then they dispersed happily.
Two days later, it was the day when Li Qing left for Chengdu, Zhang Wang had taken the first step to arrange food and accommodation, in the early morning, the cool air of early autumn seeped into the night sky, the darkness in the east slowly disappeared, turned into gray, the red dawn came out from the end of the Yujiang River behind them, dawn has come, Li Qing turned his head to gaze at Langzhou, staring at Yilong on the way back, leaving his footprints in the Tang Dynasty for the first time, step by step, difficult but full of vitality, he turned around, the Yujiang River is like a golden jade belt, winding south, The distant sky has been dyed red by the morning sun, Li Qing has a sudden pride in his chest, and he shouted loudly in the golden light between heaven and earth: "Go!" ”
The five carriages slowly drove onto the official road, and gradually, the speed became faster and faster, full of the hopes of a group of people, and slowly drowned in the boundless morning glow.
