Xiong, first is also a person, also needs to live, also needs to eat, also

Yes, money, although vulgar, is very useful.

Who wouldn't want to earn more if they had a decent livelihood? The common people, officials, reckless, and noble people, whether they are noble or lowly, are all the same, after all, in this world, there are not many people who can really treat money as dung.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the era where Liu Yiyi is now, among the many young and famous generals, the martial arts are the best, and the one with the most humble background is afraid that Xue Rengui will be counted as Xue Rengui, who has been farming at home until the age of thirty, and his life is poor.

Therefore, a few days ago, when Liu Yiyi thought about giving his family more security, he naturally thought of this peerless general who has always admired him, how could such a hero let him be buried in the poor countryside?

I remember that Xue Rengui began to officially appear on the stage of history when he was in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, when he was thirty years old, so when he was ten years old in Zhenguan, he should have been only twenty-one years old, young, capable, and poor, it should not be difficult to pull him to his side at this time.

Therefore, in line with the principle of waste and shame, after having this idea, Liu Yiyi gave Ma Cheng dozens of silver coins that afternoon, specially instructed him to say two sentences, and beat him to Shanxi, no matter what, he had to dig out this famous general in advance. Before he really became famous, he couldn't waste his good martial arts in vain.

Before you become a general, come and work with me. Ryuyichi was lying on the reclining chair in their house, a smug smile on his lips. Ask Xue Rengui to be the nurse, tsk, just thinking about it, it's very exciting.

Fortunately, Xue Rengui is a celebrity, and Liu Yiyi also knows a little about him, so he won't let Ma Cheng touch the wrong place.

"Husband. What are you thinking about to be so happy? Zhang Chuchu walked to Liu Yiyi's side with a big belly, and unceremoniously bent down on Liu Yiyi's lap and sat down, it is now October. Zhang Chuchu's belly is obviously much bigger than before, and she already has the image of a standard pregnant woman.

"Nothing, I thought. In a few days, it will be the middle of October, and the provincial examination period is approaching, whether that kid from Nijo can pass the provincial examination. There is also a re-examination for the coming year, if we can pass it, our Liu family. It can also be regarded as a promising frieze. An official has come out. Gently stroked Zhang Chuchu's belly. Liu Yiyi chuckled and said to his daughter-in-law.

The issue between Liu Ertiao and Xiao Yuan has been mediated by Li Ke. Vanish. And the price in exchange was that Liu Yiyi was in Li Ke's Wu Wang's mansion, and inexplicably accompanied Li Ke to play chess for three days, and there was nothing else to do. Although I don't know what medicine Li Kedi sells in the gourd, in my heart, Liu Yiyi still has some gratitude for this kid. After all, this matter is not a trivial matter for him or for Liu Erjo.

"The second uncle is smart and has always been very diligent, and he will definitely not fail the family's expectations." Zhang Chuchu leaned into Liu Yidi's arms and whispered softly: "If the second uncle really wins the imperial examination and passes the re-examination in the coming year, will the husband go to Su Mansion to propose marriage for the second uncle?" ”

Since listening to Liu Ertiao's infatuation with Miss Su Family, Zhang Chuchu has some expectations in his heart, and he has paid attention to this matter. {First Reading}

Sometimes Zhang Chuchu also feels that he is not too stingy, since marrying into the Liu family, whether it is Liu Yiyi, or her parents-in-law, uncles and sisters-in-law, they are all very good, close, spoiled, and respectful to her. However, as for her, as long as she thought that her husband might marry another woman, she felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, very uncomfortable, and very uncomfortable, thinking that she would dominate her husband by herself.

She knew that it was wrong to think like this, men, especially men like her husband, who had three wives and four concubines, were very common, and no one would say anything at all, but she always couldn't help it, to be honest, she was very mindful of having other women share her husband with her.

Thinking about it, Zhang Chuchu leaned into Liu Yiyi's arms again, and the hands that were originally holding Liuyi's arm also grasped tighter.

"Of course," Liu Yichi felt the beating of the child in his wife's belly, and said softly: "Although Nijo's age is young, but, well, he is also an adult, and it is also appropriate to set him a family affair." But the premise is that he must be admitted to the Jinshi, otherwise we won't be able to climb the threshold of the Su family. ”

The longer he stays in this era, the more Liu Yiyi can understand the deep-rooted concept of those big families in this era, the door is not right, the household is wrong, and it is difficult to marry someone else's girl, or want to marry someone else's wife.

"Young master, young lady," Liu Wuchen slowly walked into the courtyard where Liu Yiyi and his wife were, and bowed to Liu Yiyi and Zhang Chuchu.

"Well, dustless," Liu Yiyi replied lightly, feeling that Chu Chu wanted to start, knowing that she must be a little shy, so he gently lifted her up from his arms

called Xiaoxi to help the young lady into the room, then sat up straight and whispered, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"President Sang Zi of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce sent someone to send an invitation post, there is a large Chamber of Commerce, and I want to invite the young master to participate." Liu Wuchen bent down slightly and replied to Liu Yiyi: "President Sang Zi specially instructed that the young master be sure to appreciate his face and go for a walk." ”

"Sang Zi?" Liu Yiyi took the invitation sticker, remembered some of the news that Liu Wuchen had told him before, and asked Liu Wuchen again: "But is it the young man who came with that Sun Zeli last time?" ”

"Yes, young master," Liu Wuchen replied, "Since the death of Sang Yu, the former president of the Dahong Chamber of Commerce, last year, the Dahong Chamber of Commerce has been taken over by his eldest son, Sang Zi. Listening to the words of the person who sent the post, this chamber of commerce is a ten-year exchange meeting of the chambers of commerce of various states and counties, the scene is very large, and the businessmen of all states and counties will gather together, and there will be a lot of strange things at the meeting, and the young master may be interested. ”

"yes, got it." Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, handed the invitation to Liu Wuchen again, and said, "You go and prepare, the day after tomorrow, let's go to Chang'an to see what the so-called Chamber of Commerce is like, well, by the way, take a look at the second young master and Abuna kid." {First Reading}"

"Yes, young master!" After answering, Liu Wuchen gave another salute. And he withdrew.

After staying at home for a long time, Liu Yiyi's center of the earth also became a little commotion, and he felt that he should find something to do for himself.

"How. Husband is going out again? As soon as Liu Yiyi entered the house, Zhang Chuchu brought him a shawl, it is autumn now, and the weather has become a little cooler.

Liu Ichichi put on his shawl. Gently helped Chu Chu to sit down on the side, and said with a smile: "It's just to go to Chang'an, and you can come back in a day or two, don't worry." He patted his wife's stomach slightly. Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "In a few months, after the child is born, my husband will take you out for a spin." I've been confined to your home for a few months. It must be a little boring, right? ”

"It's all my parents-in-law who feel sorry for me. And," Zhang Chuchu looked up and glanced at Liu Yiyi. said: "The concubine also wants to take care of her body and give birth to a healthy baby for her husband safely." ”

Listening to Chu Chu's words, Liu Yiyi chuckled and took her into his arms, and there was a warmth flowing through his chest, very warm, very satisfied, that should be the taste of happiness.

Ma Cheng was shocked.

To be precise, it was Ma Cheng who was shocked by Xue Rengui's appetite.

This kid is a rice bucket!

On the first day of leading Xue Rengui away, Ma Cheng made such a judgment to Xue Rengui in his heart, and at the same time, he also had a lot of pain in his heart.

He had never seen a person like Xue Rengui who could eat, in a small restaurant, a cage of steamed buns that was almost enough for two people to eat, Xue Rengui ate ten cages, enough for Ma Cheng to eat two meals of Yangchun noodles, Xue Rengui ate five bowls, as a result, the kid was ashamed to say to Ma Cheng: He only ate a seventy percent full.

At first, Ma Cheng thought that Xue Rengui's family was poor, and he must have not eaten a full meal for a few days, and occasionally ate so much at one meal, well, it is understandable, maybe the next meal will be normal.

However, I don't want to, from the first day to the present, five days have passed, not only has Xue Rengui's appetite not decreased, but because of the relationship with Ma Chengguo, there is a tendency to eat more and more, so far, Ma Cheng finally believed Xue Rengui's words that he was seventy percent full, it turned out that this kid ate so little a few days ago, just because he was not familiar and embarrassed.

Ma Cheng was a little dizzy, he traveled thousands of miles, but he invited a rice bucket for the young master to come back, I don't know what the young master and the old master would do when they found out.

At the same time, Ma Cheng secretly guessed that when he first went out, the young master gave him a full forty yuan of silver, saying that it was only for the purpose of entanglement on the road, at first Ma Cheng felt that these were too much, no matter how the two of them were, they couldn't eat forty yuan, and even he once told their young master that only ten times was enough, but in the end, he was rejected by their young master with a word of preparedness, now think about it, the young master insisted on doing this, could it be that their young master knew it early on, The person he wants to invite is a level rice bucket?

"Let the horse steward smile," After another full meal, Xue Rengui smiled and wiped the grease stains on his mouth, and said to Ma Cheng: "I have eaten a lot since I was a child, and the crops I grow at home, as well as the prey that I usually hunt, are not enough for me to eat, otherwise my family would not be so poor." ”

For this one who let him eat a full meal for five days, but still has no temper at all, Xue Rengui's good impression of him is simply one by one, from the soles of his feet, directly rushed to the top beam door, worthy of the 'divine doctor' and 'divine craftsman' Liu Yiyi's servants in the family, cultivated, generous enough, every time he eats, not only is he full, but also has vegetables, meat and wine, he has not eaten so happily for a long time.

In his heart, Xue Rengui also relaxed his guard against Ma Cheng and Liu Fu because of these few full meals, and completely believed in Ma Cheng and Liu Yiyi's sincerity and invitation.

"Nope

Our young master often says that strange people must have different appearances," Ma Cheng tried his best to be kind to himself, he patted Xue Rengui's shoulder, smiled and said: "Brother Xue is so different from ordinary people, there will be extraordinary achievements in the future, besides, it is a blessing to be able to eat, Brother Xue is, well, a person with a very deep fortune." ”

"Cheng Ma Steward Ji Yan," Xue Rengui, who heard such remarks for the first time, looked at Ma Cheng with some excitement and said, "Steward Ma, please rest assured, since the Liu Mansion invited me." In the future, I will do my best to protect the integrity of the Liu Mansion and will not disappoint Mr. Liu. ”

For Liu Yiyi, in addition to his previous respect, Xue Rengui had a trace of curiosity, and hoped to meet Liu Yiyi as soon as possible.

"Well, that's fine, we're full of food and drink, let's hurry up." Ma Cheng took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the store with some distress, and then led Xue Rengui out together. They need to speed up. Otherwise, the money in his pocket, if he eats a few more meals by this Xue Rengui, it will be strange that there will be more money left.

For the convenience of walking. Ma Cheng hired a carriage, and on the way back, Ma Cheng sat in the carriage, and Xue Rengui rode on the horse that Ma Cheng rode when he came.

It's not that Ma Cheng abused Xue Rengui, but Xue Rengui insisted on it. This kid seems to like riding a horse very much, and as soon as he sits on the horse, he seems to be a different person, and he is full of energy. Majestic, every time he rushes, he walks in front to explore the way. It's been a long time. Ma Cheng got used to it. When someone let them come, their young master commanded. You must be polite to Xue Rengui, the young master values Xue Rengui so much. Ma Cheng didn't want to offend him.

"Do what?"

As soon as he walked out of the door of the hotel, Xue Rengui stepped in front of Ma Cheng, protected Ma Cheng behind him, and stared at the four strong men who were gradually surrounding them with his two eyes. The right hand grabbed the wrist of one of the strong men, and this hand almost entered Ma Cheng's cloth bag just now.

Looking at the menacing appearance of the four strong men, Ma Cheng's heart suddenly suddenly, and he subconsciously tightly covered the cloth bag he was carrying, and the cloth bag contained all the ground he had come and gone.

"Boy, what are you doing holding my hand? Let go! After struggling a few times and not breaking away, knowing that he had encountered a hard stubble, the man stared at Xue Rengui and scolded Xue Rengui angrily.

"Steward Ma," Xue Rengui glanced back at Ma Cheng with a smile and said, "This person wanted to steal your money just now, what do you say you want to do?" ”

After eating so many people's meals, Xue Rengui was worried that he didn't have a chance to perform, and just right, these people bumped into him.

"Fart! If you want to catch a thief, which eye do you see that Lao Tzu stole money? Dare to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make you unable to get out of this saddle set! With the man's roar, the other three people also surrounded him viciously, rubbing their hands, and one of them even took out a dagger and stared at Xue Rengui and Ma Cheng, looking eager to try.

"Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding! Hehe, a few brothers are really sorry, the juniors in the family have never been out of the house, they are not sensible, please forgive me, brothers," Seeing such a situation, Ma Cheng hurriedly stood up, signaled Xue Rengui to let go of his hand, and then took out more than 20 coins from his arms and handed them over, and said with a smile: "These are considered to make amends to a few brothers, and a few brothers are invited to drink, let's expose this matter, how about it?" ”

The man looked at the silver coin in Ma Cheng's hand, swept Xue Rengui's expressionless face, snatched the silver coin, snorted lightly, and said, "Uncle is happy today, so I won't worry about you, count you lucky!" ! ”

"You!" Xue Rengui frowned angrily, stretched out his hand and pointed at the man who wanted to say something, but was dragged away from the store by Ma Cheng.

"Steward Ma, a few thieves and ruffians, why let them go?" After walking far, Xue Rengui asked Ma Cheng a little unconvinced.

"Okay, when you go out, try not to mess with some things if you can," Ma Cheng handed the reins to Xue Rengui and said: "Those few people, at first glance, are the head snakes of this market town, if you provoke them, not to mention the delay of our trip, there will be danger to your life if you don't get it right, after all, this is not a village, nor Sanyuan, we are all outsiders here." ”

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and after walking outside for a long time, Ma Cheng knows the truth.

"But"

"Okay, there's nothing to do, it's only right that we rush home early, these ruffians, let them go." After saying a few more words to Xue Rengui, Ma Cheng got into the carriage, and the group hurried up again.

This matter was an accident, although it had just started, and Ma Cheng was put to the end, but Ma Cheng was impressed by Xue Rengui because of this, judging from the battle just now, this Xue Rengui seems to really have some ability. Maybe it's not a bad thing for their young master to invite Xue Rengui to come, well, although Xue Rengui eats really a lot-

Five thousand words, and there should be another four thousand words in the evening
