Chapter 9: The Seed (II)
The snow stopped, and the sun after the snow was a little cold.
The Yishui River is frozen, standing in the distance and looking at it, Longmen Mountain and Xiangshan are like the sword of a long sword, and Yishui is a sharp blade, heading straight for Luoyang.
I don't know, is this kind of scene considered evil in Feng Shui?
Perhaps it was this kind of evil spirit that made Yang Guang dare not stay in Luoyang for more; Perhaps it was this evil spirit that caused the Great Sui to perish.
Zheng Yanqing doesn't know feng shui, but this doesn't prevent him from enjoying the scenery after the snow.
stepped on the jade hoof jun, and sang along the horses of Yishui with Xu Shiji and Zheng Hongyi, which is also an alternative style.
Changsun Sheng had already arrived in Luoyang, but he did not send anyone over.
Li Ji said in his heart that Changsun Sheng had agreed to accept him as a disciple. But why hasn't Zheng Yanqing been summoned yet?
Perhaps, he will have to observe again!
Zheng Yanqing is not in a hurry, some things have to have a process. Changsun Sheng is no better than Li Ji, maybe Li Ji can easily accept him as a disciple, but Changsun Sheng may not think like that. He wants to investigate, silently watching. All Yan Qing could do was wait, patiently waiting, Changsun Sheng's summons. Sometimes, waiting is a grind in itself.
This day, the weather cleared.
Zheng Yanqing got up early in the morning, dressed properly, and walked out of the bamboo building.
Mao Wang had already set up a big car, and Zheng Shi'an got into the oil caravan neatly dressed. Yan Qing stepped onto Yuhujun, while Sister-in-law Mao and Xiao Nian sat in the back of the carriage, driven out by Mao Wang, and the group drove out of the bamboo garden.
I'm going to see Xionghai today.
Counting the numbers, Xiong Dahai has also been imprisoned for almost a month. Zheng Shi'an has always been very concerned about this child, so he discussed it with Xiongdazhui and decided to visit Xiongdahai. As for Mao Wang's family, they are going to the city to buy some things.
Although Zhuyuan is not worried about eating and drinking, it always needs to be replenished.
It snowed heavily a few days ago, so Mao Wang didn't go out much. Finally, the weather is clear, so it is natural to go into the city. At the same time, his leg has been a little sore recently, and Mao's sister-in-law was worried that something would go wrong, so she forced Mao Wang to go to the hospital for examination.
Yan Qing rode a horse and followed the carriage, laughing with Mao Xiaonian as he walked.
Sister-in-law Mao looked relieved, looked at Mao Xiaonian, and secretly looked at Zheng Yanqing, and the joy in the corners of her eyes became more and more intense.
Xiao Nian grew up day by day, and in two years it would be time for Xu's mother-in-law's house.
Sister-in-law Mao knew that it was impossible for Xiao Nian to marry Zheng Yanqing in a dignified manner, but she still hoped that her daughter could be with Zheng Yanqing. Even if it is a concubine, it is better than marrying a poor man and suffering hardships. Although Zheng Yanqing is young, he has a good appearance and outstanding demeanor. He is outstanding in learning and famous, Xiao Nian follows him, and he will never suffer.
For these thoughts of Sister-in-law Mao, Zheng Yanqing can vaguely perceive it.
It's just that he can't stop Sister-in-law Mao from thinking about these, and Xiao Nian is really cute, so let the surname go with the flow.
After entering the city, Zheng Shi'an and the others first came to Xiong Da Hammer's residence.
"Mao Wang, you go buy things, and remember to look at your legs by the way. Your daughter-in-law is very concerned. ”
Mao Wang was cowardly and nodded again and again, "Old lady, when will I pick you up?" ”
"Oh, don't pick it up, buy your things, and after you've seen your body, you can go back directly. There is only one person in the family, and it is not a matter after all. I'm done with my errand, and I'm going back with the sledgehammer. ”
"Whoa!"
Mao Wang agreed and left with his wife and daughter.
Xiongdazhui also prepared the car, and as soon as Zheng Shi'an's ancestor and grandson arrived, he immediately got into the car and walked in the direction of the county prison. Jade Hoof Jun didn't bring it, this guy's surname is too violent, and it is easy to clash with other animals at every turn. The last time he rode it, the encounter in Luoyang City, Zheng Yanqing still has palpitations. Last time, I was lucky, and Pei Cuiyun came forward to stop it, so I didn't fight with Pei Xingyan...... There are more and more dignitaries in Luoyang City, so it's better to be careful.
Yan Qing sat on the car board and drove the car with Xiongwei.
The two old men sat in the canopy and whispered.
After a while, he came to the door of the county jail. When the cell boss saw the majesty, he immediately burst into a bright smile.
"Master Xiong, have you come to see the sea again?"
"Master Tong, I'm sorry for you again!"
This cell boss is just an unruly errand officer, and he can't be called an 'adult' at all. Every time Xiongwei comes, he will offer some heart. It's only been twenty days, and the mind taken from Xiongwei's hand is about to catch up with the first year of prison.
Therefore, when you see Xiongwei, you are naturally extremely respectful.
Xiongwei can also do things, and every time the adults call this, it makes the cell boss feel very comfortable. Unknowingly, he took the usual copper coin from Xiongwei's hand, and the cell boss immediately welcomed the group into prison enthusiastically.
"Master, the sea is here, but I haven't suffered a little sin."
The cell boss said as if to take credit: "It stands to reason that he is not qualified to live in a single room, so I not only arranged a single room for him, but even prepared the meals separately...... Hehe, except that it is not very free, the sea is much fatter than when it came in. ”
"There's Lord Lao bothering."
Zheng Shi'an was impatient with him, and secretly stuffed the consistent money into his hand, only to be happy that the head of the cell was smiling.
Money can make ghosts grind and make ghosts laugh.
This is truly an undying truth.
Zheng Yanqing watched coldly, and walked along the dim and damp corridor of the cell with the cell leader, and soon came to the door of a cell.
"Several, you chat, I'll help you keep an eye on it outside."
"Thank you, boss!"
Xiongdahammer and the others walked into the cell, and the musty smell on their faces made Zheng Yanqing frown slightly. I saw a small oil lamp lit in the cell. Xiong Dahai was leaning against a moldy mat, tickling constantly.
It was cold, and it was even colder in the cell.
However, at the door of the cell, there is a small stove, which makes the cell a little warm.
"Uncle, uncle, you're here!"
Xiong Dahai does look a little fatter. From the small stove, it can be seen that the cell boss has indeed taken care of it.
Xiong Da Hammer hurriedly helped Xiong Dahai up, looked left and right, and then smiled with satisfaction.
He pulled Xiong Dahai, "Big Black, look who is coming?" ”
"Ah, Grandpa Big Nose!"
Zheng Shi'an stood in front of the majestic sea that was about to catch up with him, and stretched out his hand to rub his unkempt hair vigorously.
"Da Heizi, you can be safe this time, but thanks to the help of your big-nosed grandfather and your Yanqing brothers. If it weren't for your brother Yanqing running back and forth and reducing your crime, you might be ...... by now Da Heizi, kowtow to Brother Yanqing in the past, thank him for saving his life. ”
Xiong Dahai agreed, walked up to Zheng Yanqing, and knelt down like a jade pillar to kowtow.
Zheng Yanqing could stand this, and hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xiong Dahai's body with both hands.
"Grandpa Hammer, what are you doing here? The sea and I are brothers, how can I afford such a big gift? ”
He held up Xiongdahai's body, but he could feel the power of Xionghai, pressing down like a mountain. Huan Yanqing has already generated bright energy, but he still feels a little struggling.
Xiong Sledgehammer said: "Qingwa'er, you are his savior, how can you not stand it?"
Da Heizi, you have to remember in the future that Qingwa'er is your eldest brother. His words are like my words, you will listen to him in the future, understand? ”
"Got it!"
Xiong Dahai spoke, but still kowtowed in a proper manner.
Zheng Yanqing smiled bitterly, "Grandpa Big Hammer, the big black son is bigger than me, how can you call me big brother?" ”
"I said you're the big brother, and you're the big brother." Xiong Da Hammer's words were very solemn, "Qingwa'er, you recognize him as a brother." Your grandfather with a big hammer has lived until now in this life, and to be honest, there are no regrets...... Don't think I don't know, it's all your idea that Xiongji Shop can have today. I'm not worried about them, but I can't let go of the big black. Your grandfather and I are both old and will have to leave one day...... The big black man has to have someone to take care of and take care of it...... I think about it, and only by letting him follow you can I go with confidence! ”
Xiongwei nodded slightly, and Zheng Shi'an also nodded in agreement.
"Big Black, since you call me big brother, you have to listen to me...... Well, I'll let you stand up now, okay? ”
"Yes!"
Xiong Dahai agreed, got up and stood aside.
Zheng Yanqing said: "Grandpa Hammer, you are so dignified, why do you say such things?" ”
"Qingwa'er, you are not an ordinary person!" The male sledgehammer said: "I have lived a lifetime with a sledgehammer, killed people, and almost been killed." I have been born and died, and I have experienced many things, but I have never seen a person better than you. Your future achievements will be amazing...... Although the big black man is ignorant, he has a lot of strength.
When he was young, I taught him martial arts, and if he is by your side in the future, he may be able to get ahead.
You bother to help me take care of him a little more so that he can have food and clothing...... If possible, marry him another daughter-in-law, and if I can have one in the future, I will be worthy of my eldest brother. ”
Xiongda Hammer said this, Zheng Yanqing really couldn't find any reason to refute.
Besides, Kanxiong Dahai's ability is not bad, and if he can have such a thug by his side in the future, he can save a lot of trouble.
"Well, Grandpa Sledgehammer, I promise you!"
Zheng Yanqing nodded in agreement, which also made the male sledgehammer very happy.
Before leaving, Yan Qing pulled the cell head aside and stuffed two copper coins to the cell head, "Master Tong, Da Heizi is my brother, you can help take care of it more." Clean up his cell and put it on a new mattress. This money is used as drinking money for adults, if it is taken care of, when the big black man comes out, I Zheng Yanqing still has the heart to offer. ”
The cell boss was stunned at first, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You are Banyuanjun?" ”
"You know me?"
Since Zheng Yanqing reported his name, he had no intention of hiding anything. Money can be used as ghosts, but this fame can make people bow their heads.
The cell leader nodded again and again, "Mr. Zheng's money, the small one will never dare to accept it." I like the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" you wrote very much, but I didn't expect it...... Mr. Zheng, you just have to rest assured, as long as my Tonghuan is here for a day, I won't be able to lose Brother Dahai. ”
"You still take the money!"
Zheng Yanqing stuffed the copper coin into Tong Huan's arms, "The sea will leave it to you." I don't want you to be embarrassed, as long as I can take care of him as much as you can. ”
Tong Huan said: "Mr. Zheng, don't worry, I will definitely take care of the sea as my brother." ”
In Shilin, Yan Qing wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which seems to be a slang text in the market, and it cannot be put on the stage. But in the market, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is highly respected. There is no doubt that Tong Huan is a fan of Yanqing, and this effect is far better than that of Qian Bao.
"Tong Tou, who was that person just now!"
After Zheng Yanqing and the others left, the other jailers came over and asked curiously.
Tong Huan was still extremely excited, and slapped his thigh for a long time, "Damn, Banyuanjun is Banyuanjun, much stronger than those sour scholars...... The young man just now, his mother is the famous Banyuanjun and his old man.
You all listen to me, and be polite to Xionghai in the future.
This Xionghai is the brother of Banyuanjun, but I ask for it, which of you dares to make trouble, Lao Tzu makes you look good. ”
When the jailers heard this, they were in an uproar!
———————————————————————————————— Zheng Yanqing didn't expect that he would have so much influence among those jailers.
After visiting Xionghaihai, the group went back to their residence first and asked Zheng Yanqing to fetch the horses. called Wang Zheng again, and asked Xiongwei to catch the car and go to Zhuyuan.
In the car, three old men whispered, not knowing what they were talking about.
Zheng Yanqing rode on a horse, followed the carriage, and walked all the way, but found that there were many ragged people on both sides of the road.
"Uncle Wei, there seem to be a lot of homeless people in Luoyang City recently."
Yan Qing urged him to step forward and walked side by side with Xiongwei, "I haven't heard of any natural disasters, where do these homeless people come from?" ”
"It's not a natural disaster, it's [***]!"
"Huh?"
Xiongwei lowered his voice, "At the beginning of the year, His Majesty ordered the canal to be dredged, and a lot of manpower was used. I have heard that a large amount of land in Xingyang and Yingchuan has been deserted, so that in some areas, there is no harvest after autumn, and it is difficult to sustain it. ”
Zheng Yanqing suddenly realized and nodded lightly.
However, he could not help them much in this situation. I hope the imperial court will make a difference...... Anyway, in Yanqing's impression, in the early days of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, there were not too many riots and rebellions.
The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, hesitating, sad Qin and Han meridians, the palace and thousands of rooms have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!
A song of Xiaoling appeared in Yan Qing's mind, and the last sentence was not exactly the portrayal in front of him?
I was in a good mood, but I suddenly became depressed.
After the group returned to Zhuyuan, Zheng Yanqing suddenly said, "Grandpa, I'm afraid there will be some chaos recently, we should ask a few guards to come back." ”
Zheng Shi'an asked suspiciously: "What kind of chaos can there be?" ”
"On the way back, I saw a lot of homeless people passing by. Our bamboo garden, located outside Luoyang City, has no protection, and it is easy to be calculated. In my opinion, we need to bring in a few guards to add some defense to the bamboo garden. ”
Wang Zheng heard this and nodded again and again.
"Big nose, what Qing Wa'er said is right, we should take precautions.
But this guard is not easy to find, you must have real skills, and the surname can't be bad. Otherwise, wouldn't he join forces with those outcasts to lure wolves into the house? ”
"If you want to be good at martial arts, you have to have a good surname...... It's really not easy to find it for a while. ”
Zheng Shi'an suddenly became worried. What Yan Qing said makes sense, and what Wang Zheng said is also good. But the question is, where can I find such a person?
"When you say that, I think of a person." Sledgehammer suddenly spoke.
"Who?"
"A few days ago, I saw a guy in Tongyuan City, who was not weak, and could hold a knife in his mouth, jumping down from a flagpole nearly ten zhang high, as if he were walking on the ground. And the knife skills are clever, obviously under the guidance of a famous teacher. That guy didn't steal or rob, so he gathered four or five young men in Tongyuan City, either to help people do odd jobs, or to take care of the barn...... I heard from those merchants in Tongyuan City that that guy is quite reputable, and his surname should not be too bad. ”
Wang Zheng suddenly became curious, and hurriedly asked, "Is there such a person in Tongyuan City?" What is your name. ”
Xiong Da Hammer scratched his head, thought for a long time and said, "Well, it's been a long time, but I can't remember it clearly...... That guy should be surnamed Shen, and he is quite famous in Tongyuan City. Why don't I go over tomorrow and inquire? ”
surnamed Shen, he can also jump from the flagpole a few feet high and be safe!
Isn't this the legendary light work?
Zheng Yanqing was on the side, and he was also interested, "Grandpa Hammer, otherwise...... I'll go with you tomorrow? ”
