Chapter 102 Harvested Mulberry Elm
Huang Gonggong, who came to Qizhou to announce the decree, wanted to return to Beijing, and Mao Duo and Huo Chonglou also returned to Beijing to resume their lives, and Qin Lin invited them to a banquet in Yuejiang Tower.
In addition to the two little eunuchs brought out of Beijing, there is also Zhang Xiaoyang by Huang's side.
As soon as he saw this little father-in-law, he kowtowed to Qin Lin: "Qin Ye cleared my master's grievances, and the great kindness is unforgettable, but it's a pity that the little one is going to leave Qizhou, I'm afraid this is the last time to kowtow to Qin Ye." ”
Qin Lin hurriedly asked what was going on.
Zhang Xiaoyang said his life experience with tears in his eyes, it turned out that his hometown was Zhangjiazhuang, Baoding Prefecture, Hebei Province, Longqing six years of Hebei drought, Baoding area red land thousands of miles, Zhang Xiaoyang is only ten years old, hungry screaming, although the government has relief, there are too many victims, disaster relief food is a drop in the bucket.
The Zhang family's parents had no choice but to castrate their son with their own hands, preparing to send them to the palace as eunuchs, not seeking glory and wealth, at least being able to eat a full meal.
Just when Emperor Longqing died and Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, Zhu Yiju, the old king of Jing, entered Beijing and passed by Zhangjiazhuang, and saw the miserable situation of the victims and moved his heart to be compassionate, and bought food for distribution, which saved the life of a township. I heard that the parents castrated their son just to eat a full meal, and the old Chitose was also miserable, so he took Zhang Xiaoyang with him, and returned to Qizhou after the court, and used it next to his grandson Zhu Youfan.
This time, Qin Lin cleared Zhu Youfan's grievances, Zhang Xiaoyang also made great contributions, King Jing's father and son asked him what reward he wanted, and he only said that he wanted to go back to his hometown to see his parents.
A castrated eunuch is no different from a wasted person when he returns to the countryside, and of course King Jing's father and son will not just send him away, it would be too bad to treat others.
It happened that Huang Gonggong was out of Beijing, and King Jing's father and son had an idea: the vassal king had the practice of recommending medical officials, Taoist priests, and eunuchs to serve in the court, which was like paying tribute, which meant that we had any good people and good things to use the Son of Heaven first. Zhang Xiaoyang's hometown of Baoding Mansion is very close to Jingshi, and he is recommended to enter the palace to do business, and he himself has a settlement, and it is convenient to support his parents.
Qin Lin sighed when he heard what happened to Zhang Xiaoyang, and asked casually: "After all these years, does Xiao Zhang's father-in-law still have news of his family?" Are there any relatives other than your parents? ”
Zhang Xiaoyang shook his head with a bitter face: "Qizhou is three thousand miles away from Baoding Mansion, and there is no news, I only heard that I will not go hungry until the second year when the wheat is ripe, but whether my father and mother can hold on until the wheat is ripe, only God knows." In addition to my parents in the family, there are many relatives next to me, but there is only one uncle at the top of the family, he went to Beijing when I was a child, and I don't know if he lives or dies. ”
When Qin Lin heard this, he was silent.
Huang Gonggong only thought that Qin Lin was unhappy, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyang, and said in a gloomy voice: "How do you do a slave?" will say frustrating words! After entering the palace in the future, I can only say that the Holy Son of Heaven is in the reign of Haiqinghe Banquet, nonsense, these are not good, beware of the palm! ”
Zhang Xiaoyang kowtowed on the ground again and again, and said directly that Huang Gonggong had taught a lesson.
However, Qin Lin was a little compassionate because of Zhang Xiaoyang's tragic life experience, and felt that this little eunuch was loyal to Zhu Youfan, and he also had an experience of fighting side by side in the case of the Jingwang Mansion, so he started to help him up, and stuffed five taels of gold to Huang Gonggong, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang's father-in-law is a friend of the next, and he will go to Beijing for three thousand miles, and he will ask Huang Gonggong to take care of him more." ”
Huang Gonggong pretended to push twice, and the eunuch saw gold and silver like flies seeing blood, where was there anything not to want? He gave a thumbs up while putting it in his arms: "Lord Qin's righteousness and squandering money is really timely rain!" In the future, if we have the opportunity to be transferred to Beijing to serve in the future, we should be close to each other. ”
Qin Lin said in his heart, let's climb and make friends, it's okay, it's close, Lao Tzu has no interest in eunuchs.
Zhang Xiaoyang was very grateful to Qin Lin, and left Jingwang's Mansion to be a little eunuch in the Jingshi Palace, maybe he won't see each other for the rest of his life, and people will pave the way for you with gold, this is called Yibo Yuntian!
Mao Duo and Huo Chonglou also admired Qin Lin very much, so they had to let him sit on the table, these two would inevitably be promoted after returning to Beijing, and they all owed him a blessing?
Especially Huo Chonglou, his daughter poured red into her mouth one by one, it seemed that more than ten years of silence and more than ten years of grievances were vented at this moment, and the last slap slapped the porcelain cup on the table, and the fragments were deeply embedded in it, and he said drunkenly: "If, yes, my boss of Lao Huo, like Qin and Brother Qin, is so bold and righteous, why should Lao Huo be a mere stall leader?" ”
Qin Lin didn't drink much, he just smiled when he heard the words, and finally didn't say anything: Of course, I hope that there is such a master as Huo Chonglou by my side, but my position of Jinyi Wei Baihu is still too small, although Huo Chonglou is grateful, it is impossible for me to use it; But now that we've made a friendship, there will be a day when things will happen in the future...... After the wine and dinner were finished, he sent Huang Gonggong and his party downstairs to leave, and Qin Lin saw a human figure under the shadow of the tree in a trance.
It's just that the White Lotus Sect sent people to retaliate, and the wine woke up most of the time at once, but when he looked at it, it was Niu Dali standing there.
Niu Dali saw that Qin Lin had found out, so he walked up and hugged his fists, grinning and laughing, "Is Engong drunk?" Would you like a bowl of decanting soup? Come on, come on, I'll help you over, the sour plum soup sold by Wang Po under the big tree around the corner is the best way to relieve hangover......"
"I'm not drunk!" Qin Lin looked at Niu Dali with a smile, "Just say it directly, you look like this, Lao Tzu looks cold and gets goosebumps." ”
Niu Dali rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and said squirmingly: "My mother asked me to talk to Engong...... This ......"
"Don't say I'm leaving," Qin Lin gestured to leave.
Niu Dali was in a hurry, and hurriedly said what he meant: It turned out that Zhang Gongyu was promoted to Wuchang Mansion, and the new governor of Qizhou had already arrived.
Although Niu Dali has also received some bad rules and conventions during this time, he can give the new master filial piety and filial piety to the master, and keep the position of the head of the people's strong team, but the more he thinks about it, the more boring he feels.
This time is that Qin Lin is in Qizhou, and when Qin Lin goes to Nanjing to take up his post, Niu Dali's team is not very comfortable.
What's more, the personnel who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Xuanmiaoguan this time, the Jinyi Guard Official Academy, the Commander and the Commander of the Soldiers, and the head of the Dongchang stall, etc., all had their own promotions, and even Zhang Gongyu, who was belated, was promoted, but Niu Dali, who contributed a lot, except for Zhang Gongyu's personal reward of silver, did not get any reward - the officials and officials, the officials were in the upper ranks, and the officials were not even officials, they were only regarded as lowly servants, how could they get him in terms of meritorious rewards?
The more Niu Dali thought about it, the more he felt that it was boring to be a servant, and after discussing with the old lady, he came to Qin Lin: "Engong, my mother said, if you don't dislike it, let me follow you to be a soldier, I am a stupid cow who is good at finding a background with a punch and a kick, and there are many people around you who are willing to work hard, regardless of knives or guns, the stupid cow's body can always block a few times for you, as long as I have a stupid cow, I won't let Engong lose a cold hair." ”
After Niu Dali finished speaking, he looked at Qin Lin with a blank eye.
Qin Lin laughed first, "Junyu? Definitely not! ”
Niu Dali lowered his head, feeling that Engong looked down on him, and was a little ashamed.
Unexpectedly, Qin Lin punched his thick chest: "Lao Tzu has been a hundred households, it's not easy to get a lieutenant for you?" Junyu, thanks to what you said, isn't that a slap in the face? ”
Niu Dali was overjoyed and hugged Qin Lin: "Ouch, my Uncle Qin!" You're my uncle! ”
Qin Lin only felt that he was being hugged by a bear, and shouted repeatedly: "You have it, you want to break my ribs?" This is revenge......"
Niu Dali hurriedly let go of his hand, and kowtowed to Qin Lin first, "Tell my mother to go, and let her be happy", and ran away dancing while saying.
Qin Lin lost the east corner this time and harvested the mulberry elm.
Although he was not qualified to receive Huo Chonglou's allegiance because his current position was too low, he included Niu Dali in his pocket. Niu Dali has not practiced martial arts and has natural divine power, except for the light skills are slightly inferior, the frontal battle is not weaker than the first-class master, even against Wei Tianya will not suffer, if it is the battle array of the two armies against the spear and halberd, he is a fierce general-shaped figure is more effective than the martial arts master Wei Tianya.
According to the usual practice, if you are transferred to 100 households, you can bring three or five cronies to accompany you, and Qin Lin is ready to take Niu Dali, Han Feilian, and Lu Yuanzhi.
In order to prevent the White Lotus Sect's retaliation, the four daughters of A, B, C, and D were going to stay in Qizhou to protect Qingdai, and Qin Lin told Wang Jinxian and Chen Sihai to let them do their best to protect the medical hall.
The command of the Yamen and the Jinyi Wei Baihu are very close to the medical hall, and there are hundreds of officials and schools in the hundred households, although the guard is festering, there are still hundreds of elite soldiers in the command of five or six thousand people, and they are the economic army with spears and halberds, strong bows and crossbows, and they are protected, unless the White Lotus Sect openly rebels and attacks Qizhou, it will definitely be able to ensure the safety of the medical hall.
These two people have received his favors I don't know much, of course, there is no way to agree, Wang Jinxian also took the initiative to send fifty soldiers to take turns to be on duty in the medical hall, one to prevent the attack of the White Lotus Sect, and the other to maintain order and suppress the idlers.
After telling Li Shizhen, the old doctor didn't think so: "The White Lotus Sect is not a gang of rivers and lakes, they want to rebel, they have nothing to do, they still have to practice medicine, draw talismans to buy the hearts of the people, kill the old man, and destroy my medical hall, won't they lose the hearts of the people of Jinghu, and the gains outweigh the losses for them?" ”
Qin Lin nodded, Li Shizhen is indeed qualified to be so confident, since the Xuan Miao Guan has been set up as a medical hall, Li Shizhen is even more famous, the officials and gentry in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the land of Jinghu have come to Qizhou for diagnosis and treatment of incurable diseases, and there are countless people living in the medical hall, and they have won the hearts of the people of Jinghu, if the White Lotus Sect wants to attack him, it is really an enemy of thousands of people in the land of Jinghu, not only can they not rebel, but they will lose their foundation.
But if he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, Qin Lin finally persuaded Li Shizhen to let the medical hall accept the soldiers' defense.
Before parting, he made one last request: during this time, let Qingdai treat the women who came to the hospital for treatment, and the four women of A, B, C, and D would serve as assistants.
Qin Lin is already Qingdai's future husband, since he proposed it, of course Li Shizhen will not object.
And Qing Dai learned the news from Qin Lin's mouth, and kissed him happily, "Brother Qin is really good, today is Qing Dai's happiest day!" ”
Suddenly, the little girl's mouth pouted again, and her voice became lower and lower: "Of course, it would be better if Brother Qin didn't leave......"
