Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Ones Who Asked for Money and Food Came

It wasn't until Zhang Youxiang stood dizzy and his legs were numb that he heard Zhang Jian sigh: "Good words!" Great book! Good poetry! ”

Li also said: "I never expected that Kang'er was only in her twenties and could write such a romance novel. ”

Only then did the two remember that their four daughters were still standing on the side, and now that their daughters were married, it didn't seem good. Zhang Jian coughed to hide his embarrassment: "Won't you go find a place to sit down yourself?" I have to stand here all the time. ”

Zhang Youxiang and the others finally happily ran to bring chairs and sit down.

Zhang Jian asked, "Did you bring the rest of the book of stones?" ”

Zhang Youxiang nodded and said: "Yes, I think it's very well written, and my husband said that he gave me all this book, so I brought it all over and prepared to show it to you." After speaking, he wrote down a large stack of stones in the hand-copied version to Zhang Jian.

Originally, Zhang Jian wanted to continue to read "The Story of the Stone", but seeing the expectant expressions of the other three daughters, Zhang Jian still picked up a copy of "The History of Confucianism" and began to look at it. The text printed by the modern printing press makes the first time I see this font of the chapter Jane has a refreshing feeling, but I don't think much about it, after all, there must be printing technology now, and the handwriting of this "Confucian History" is at most smaller, clearer, and more refined.

When I opened the book, Zhang Jian looked at it with relish at first, but the more I read it, the more I felt that something was wrong, this is simply a satire on the people who read all over the world! He muttered, "No, no!" ...... Kang'er was a young man, and he was appointed to the governor of Yansui at a young age, how could he write such a satirical and critical text about the imperial examination? ”

was puzzled, and Zhang Jian could only put down the "History of Confucianism", which made him feel extremely disgusting, and looked through the other two books "The Strange Status Quo Witnessed in Twenty Years" and "The Travels of the Old Remnant".

Although Zhang Jian did not understand the so-called steamships, glasses, opium and other things that were only popular in modern times in the book, he could also deeply feel the author's despair for society and the country from the words.

After reading a few chapters, he said to the girls: "Give these two books back to Kang'er." Don't read similar books in the future, let alone spread them. Otherwise, it will bring big trouble to Kang'er. Can this "History of Confucianism" and this set of "Stone Records" be left here for my father to read carefully? ”

Zhang Youxiang and Zhang Youwei said in unison: "Of course you can, my husband said that these books were given to us, and we can dispose of them." ”

Zhang Jian and Li carefully put the book away.

The family dragged on for a long time, and Zhang Youxiang and the others only had dinner at their parents' place, and then returned to the governor's yamen where Zhao Kang lived.

Zhao Laocai took more than a dozen wives to live in Yulin for half a month, and when he heard that there was a big locust plague in Suzhou, he was worried about his family's land, so he hurriedly pulled Zhang Jian and his wife back to Suzhou. Zhao Kang made a special trip to arrange for 300 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to escort them along the way. On the day of parting, seeing that Zhang Youxiang sisters were crying so desolately, Zhao Kang was so infected with emotions that he shed a few tears.

After everyone left, Zhao Kang took the girls to live a life without shame.

—————————————————— I am the dividing line of evil———————————————————

In the backyard of the Yulin Governor's Yamen, Zhao Kang is rehearsing a square dance with his wives.

Obviously, the women have not yet gotten used to the "new clothes" provided by Zhao Kang. Zhang Youxiang, Zhang Youwei, Zhang Youxian, Zhang Youcheng, Chunmei, Dongmei, and Makata were wearing low-waisted leggings and black low-cut short sleeves, and their expressions looked a little embarrassed.

Zhao Kang sat on a Teng chair and drank cold Coke while providing "action guidance" to several wives.

Zhang Youxiang said: "Husband, why are these clothes of yours weird?" It's still comfortable to wear, but I always feel too ...... That's it. ”

Zhao Kang asked, "Which one?" ”

Zhang Youxiang blushed and said, "It's too exposed!" ”

Zhao Kang took a sip of Coke before saying, "Where is it exposed?" You don't even go out of the gate, you don't cross the door, you stay in this backyard all day, and there are no other men except me. And I'm your husband, don't say you're just dressed like this, even if you all strip naked and dance bare-assed to show me, right? ”

Zhang Youxiang took a sip and said, "How can there be a bad husband like you?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "Where am I bad, what I say is the truth." After a while, when the weather is met, I will ask someone to build a swimming pool in the backyard of the governor's yamen, and prepare a set of bikinis for each of you, and I am afraid that you will be even more embarrassed to wear it at that time. ”

The youngest Zhang Youcheng interjected and asked, "Husband, what is a bikini?" ”

Zhao Kang looked at her carefully from head to toe: "You don't have to wear it, little boy." At least a few more years away. ”

Zhang Youcheng said angrily: "Where are the people small? I'm eleven this year! ”

Zhao Kang said: "Go and go, you are not small?" People have small breasts and small buttocks, and they play with mud at the same time, eleven is called virtual age, and nine years old is your real age. ”

Zhang Youcheng was so angry that he stomped his feet and went directly to the house to sulk.

At this time, Zhao Kang's backyard housekeeper Shufen came in and said, "Young master, a person who claims to be the envoy of Fu Zonglong, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, has come outside and asks to see him. ”

Seeing that Zhao Kang had something to do, several of Zhao Kang's wives retreated and went back to their rooms very interestingly.

Zhao Kang said to Shufen: "Lead him to my study to see me." ”

"Okay, young master!"

After touching a pillar of incense, Zhao Kang came to the study and saw the old man who claimed to be Fu Zonglong's envoy.

As soon as Zhao Kang walked in, the old man got up and gave him a look: "Grass people Yang Le see Lord Zhao." After speaking, he handed over the seal letter and other things that proved his identity to Zhao Kang.

After Zhao Kang finished the inspection, he sat down in his place and asked straight to the point, "What did Master Fu send you to Yulin for?" Could it be because I didn't go to the last banquet, and I want to send you to ask me for my guilt? ”

Yang Le said: "Villain Kai dares to risk Lord Fan's tiger might? Master Fu sent him down, and he really had something important to discuss with Lord Zhao. ”

Zhao Kang said impatiently: "Let's just say it, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Le said: "Master Fu hopes that Lord Zhao can transfer a part of the army to his command. Out of Tongguan to assist Ding Qirui, who was supervising the division in Henan, Lord Ding to suppress the thief. Moreover, Master Fu heard that northern Shaanxi was no longer worried about famine under the careful management of Lord Zhao, so he hoped that Lord Zhao could come up with some more grain, grass and silver money for the purpose of suppressing bandits. ”
