Chapter 149: Mother Wu pleads
There is a hundred miles from Longtang Town to Shendao Town, with the avenue as the line, and the one on the right, which belongs to the part of Jiangyin County, is like an irregular rectangle: Shendao Town and Qidaogou Village, which is more than 20 miles to the west, are two corners of the southeast and southwest - so every time Zhao Tianming sends troops to Jiangyin County, he will pass through Qidaogou Village. Longtang Town and a place called Luofeng Village are two corners of the northeast and northwest, but Luofeng Village is much closer to Qidaogou Village, making the whole terrain look like a corner is missing.
The previous power of the Wang family had always been north of this rectangle, and although they were connected, they could not expand into it due to the obstruction of the Tian family. Now that the Tian family's power in Longtang Town has been uprooted, the Wang family naturally turned their attention to these hundreds of miles.
In these hundreds of miles, 80% are forests, so they are sparsely populated, and now, except for Longtang Town and Shendao Town, there are only nine villages. Interestingly, in the division of the government's jurisdiction, these nine villages are all under the management of Shendao Town.
In Wang Shihua's imagination, without the barrier of the Tian family, he didn't need to use his sword at all, he only needed to send someone to inform him, and these nine villages should know the current affairs. Therefore, Wang Shihua had to postpone the distribution of the loot for half a month, in order to give the people of these nine villages time to inform and think. Of course, the place where Wang Shihua wants to transfer the residents is in the middle of this site.
"Are they all here?"
"Except for Wangjiaping, sixteen security chiefs have arrived on our side. Of the nine security chiefs over there, only Zhang Guishan from Qidaogou Village and the other two security chiefs have arrived, and none of the others have yet arrived. ”
"Even Zhang Guishan from Qidaogou Village, the farthest village, came, but they didn't arrive, heh! Scold! Wang Shihua stopped, grinned and sneered, and continued to walk with his hands behind his back, walking, and suddenly turned around and said something extremely domineering: "Why can't they come?" ”
"I have investigated, and among the other six villages, Luofeng Village has always been the first to look forward. Before the Republic of China, Luofeng Village was a defensive point for the outside world, with high walls and thick walls, and all kinds of facilities. After the Republic of China, the officers and soldiers in the stronghold were directly converted to the people, so they were not affected by the war, but took the opportunity to control several other villages; Second, the geographical location here is the same as our Longtang Town, which is at the intersection of several provinces, and they sit on the ground and take a profit, and over the decades, they are not only rich, but also develop an eye above the top; Third, I inquired that they have a close relationship with the Zhao family, and they must fantasize about relying on the Zhao family to compete with us. ”
"The Zhao family? Hum! Wang Shihua pursed his lips disdainfully, bowed his head and walked more than ten steps, and ordered: "Send a telegram to the Zhao family, and tell Zhao Tianming that Luo Fengzhai not only swept my face, but also hindered my deployment, whether the Wang family and the Zhao family are friends or enemies in the future, please watch it." Just say it, don't change a word. ”
"Yes!"
"Relying on the high walls of the city, can you compete with my royal family? I'm going to let him know it's a joke. By the way, where is Peng Peng now? ”
"Didn't you ask him to recruit heroes? He is now working hard in the blue and white village to expand his manpower. ”
Wang Shihua was raised as a bandit in Qinghuazhai, and when he met someone who had the ability and an innocent background, he would be sent to Wang Shihua, and the original little Wang Jiaping was used to train soldiers and raise horses.
"You send and he calls. When he arrives, let him come to me with Erhu. ”
"Yes!"
"I'm sorry! Sorry! It's late, so I've been waiting for you, forgive me, forgive me! As soon as he entered the lobby, Wang Shihua hugged his fists and smiled and apologized.
Everyone stood up and clenched their fists to say something polite, but there were some differences in the title: the people on the Wang family's territory were originally called Wang Shihua the head of the family, and Zhang Guishan and the other two security chiefs of Qidaogou Village were called Wang Shihua as the mayor of the town...... In fact, Wang Shihua's letter of appointment as mayor has not yet been settled.
According to the previous rules: every other quarter, the Wang family would convene a meeting to discuss the arrangements for the next three months. Before that, Wang Shihua came forward to gather everyone to eat and drink, and then the chief housekeeper came forward to give instructions to the head of the family to understand the difficulties of each family, and then report to Wang Shihua for discussion...... When leaving, each person eats and drinks again, and then goes back with benefits.
"This year, there are three more members of my own family, nineteen, and with me, I have just made up two tables. However, I hope that when everyone gathers again, there will be a few more, and by then, it will be three tables~! After everyone was seated, Wang Shihua said a cold joke as the opening remark, then raised his glass, stood up, and said: "This first glass of wine, I, Wang Shihua, as the head of the family, thank you for your support in the past time." Do it first! ”
After drinking, he lit up his glass to the crowd.
The crowd applauded, and this was the opening remark that had to be experienced every time. It's just that Xiaomei and Xiaoyun each took a pu fan and fanned him in the back, which seemed a little big and a little out of place.
"This second glass of wine, I would like to invite you to raise a glass so that we can welcome the new members together."
Who dares to be dissatisfied?
"This third glass of wine, I wish my Wang family more and more prosperity, and everyone's life will be more and more prosperous."
These three glasses of wine are etiquette, and you can't use chopsticks to eat vegetables. After three glasses, it's time to really eat and drink.
More than an hour passed, and after being full of wine and food, Wang Shihua clenched his fists at everyone and found a reason to leave. Everyone was accustomed to it and got up to thank the head of the family for his hard work.
Is Wang Shihua really hard? He walked hard to Axia's Zhang Cuiyun's room, and opened his arms hard to let Zhang Cuiyun take off his tunic for him and change into civilian clothes, for this reason, he also worked hard with Zhang Cuiyun for a while, and then watched Zhang Cuiyun find Axia, and the four daughters 'repaired the Great Wall', he watched the side, and gradually fell into a daze.
"Smack!"
Wang Shihua was immediately awakened, and looked carefully, but saw Zhang Cuiyun angrily slapping the mahjong table, pointing at Ah Xia and shouting: "I'm the eldest sister, I can do whatever I want?" ”
"It is precisely because you are the eldest sister that you should pay more attention to the rules." Only on the mahjong table, there is no big or small, Ah Xia and Xiaomei Xiaoyun dare to shout with Zhang Cuiyun: "How can there be a card to be played out by others, but it is said that it is wrong, and it is necessary to start again?" ”
It's strange to say, Zhang Cuiyun has a short temper, but when she goes to the mahjong table, her temper is surprisingly good. Although the three girls on the mahjong table intentionally or unintentionally had a faint meaning against her, but she pretended to be stupid, although she lost more and won less, but she still had a lot of fun, but every time she had to find an excuse to quarrel with one of the three girls. After the quarrel, she was comfortable, but others were angry to death.
Wang Shihua was awakened, he was not happy, and when he saw that it was a common scene, he said unhappily: "I said that you will play mahjong all day long, and you will quarrel with dogs, is it interesting?" ”
"You have to take care of it!" The two women turned their heads and glared at the same time, Wang Shihua had to raise his hand in surrender, and said as he walked out: "Okay! Good! Good! I'm afraid of you, can't I provoke and hide? ”
Zhang Cuiyun and Ah Xia looked at each other and smiled, and sat down to play mahjong again.
Wang Shihua, who had nothing to do, decided to be lazy and went to the study to sober up. But as soon as the butt sat down, I saw Wu's mother walking in with a bowl: "Family master, this is the sour plum soup I boiled with my own hands, with ice, it is best to sober up, you drink it while it is cold." ”
For Wu's mother, Wang Shihua put a hundred hearts, otherwise he would have been poisoned to death.
After taking the bowl and drinking it to the bottom, after burping, he exhaled comfortably, and was about to praise Wu's mother's craftsmanship, but suddenly found that Wu's mother was a little restrained, and her eyes were a little fluttering, so she asked, "Wu's mother, is there something?" ”
Seeing Wu's mother nodding, Wang Shihua smiled and quipped: "Do you have a fancy for an old man, or is the eldest lady of his family still there, and you need me to help you kill her?" Don't worry, Mother Wu, I will definitely do it myself. ”
"I'm going to die, I have nothing to do and make fun of my old wife."
"Good! Good! I can't even mess with you women, right? Tell me, what's the matter? ”
"I have a niece from afar, and I heard that I can speak well in front of you, so she begged me to come to me and ask me to help her buy a house with you in the town." After speaking, he deliberately added: "Don't worry, the way is absolutely innocent." ”
Wu's mother has served her all her life, and her loyalty is absolutely no problem. The first time she opened her mouth to ask for help, she had to give this face, otherwise, it would chill the hearts of the old people in the family.
"No problem, whether you want a shop facing the street or a small courtyard, let her choose by herself, you can talk to Shoucheng and it."
"How can she have so much money to sell the shop, just to take advantage of the fact that after you drove the Tian family away, she left so many empty houses and wanted to buy them cheaply...... I'll have to make up for them. ”
Get! This is the wool from the sheep, and the money has to be paid by Wang Shihua in the end. Wu's mother is the housekeeper, Wang Shihua's money is in her hands, and she even claims to leave all the money to Wang Shihua after death, which in turn means that she can use Wang Shihua's money casually, although she has always been very disciplined.
"Them?" Wang Shihua keenly grasped the loopholes and asked with a smile: "Mother Wu, you work so hard, it shouldn't be your former illegitimate daughter, right?" ”
"Die!" Mother Wu glanced at him angrily, and said, "I won't hide it from you, my niece is a young widow, and she has a bit of a look." This time I eloped with my friend, and I inquired a lot of people to find out about me, and I saw that they were in trouble, which was quite pitiful, so I wanted to help. ”
No wonder you can't hide it, feelings are this. For women who don't abide by women's morals, most of them end up sinking in the pool after riding a wooden donkey. If it escapes, the clan will make every effort to catch it and continue to kill it for the sake of face and maintaining the atmosphere. Wu's mother obviously wanted to beg Wang Shihua to take care of them and save their lives, otherwise, they would be arrested and die.
"It's okay, let them stay at ease. You can pick a good store for them, so that they can do some small business and have something to eat. ”
"Great, I'll go find Shoucheng." In the end, he is an old man in the family, and he knows that there is no need to say kind words - he can die for Wang Shihua at any time, and he will see the outside world when he says kind words.
Wang Shihua shook his head with a wry smile, picked up a book at random and was about to open it, when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Master, are you looking for us?"
Erhu and Peng Peng came in together......
