187. A Thousand Autumns (7)

December 26 came quickly.

Early in the morning, Xiang'an woke up from a deep sleep as usual, Song's mother put the clothes she had washed last night on a bamboo pole to take advantage of the rare sunny day to dry, although her fingers were cracked because of chilblains, but the complexion on her face was excellent. The guys hired by Lei Jiu pushed the cart and sold it along the street, giving breakfast to those who were too lazy to get up early to cook vegetables and had a few extra money at home. All kinds of shouts came and went, occasionally the cries of children, or the barking of chickens and dogs.

Shi Kefa squinted, and he was a little apprehensive.

He was extremely angry at Yu Guozhen's wanton behavior in disregard of the laws of the country, but when he quietly sailed to Xiang'an last night and stayed overnight at the inn in the town, this anger turned into a hesitation.

If it is really a person who ignores the law of the country, why is this town so peaceful and vibrant?

When Zhang Guowei took office in Yingtian, he did two things the most, one was to build water conservancy, and the other was to crack down on Haoqiang. He recommended Shi Kefa to the position of guarding the four states, of course Shi Kefa couldn't let him down, in addition to training, another thing was also to fight Haoqiang.

Of course, most of the heroes that Zhang Guowei and Shi Kefa fought were those who were outside the party struggle of the imperial court and were regarded by them as both ends of the head, such as Zhou Yanru, the former first assistant of Zhishi, and a small local Haoqiang like the Yu family. Those who really have backers and ways to do it generally will not do it easily, because once they do it, they may become implicated and turn into a decisive battle between different forces.

Therefore, Shi Kefa has not rarely seen a rural town that has been bullied by Haoqiang, and there is a saying among the people that "rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest", but for Haoqiang in some places, they don't have this taboo at all, in order to connect their own fields, for a cemetery on a mountain range, for the distribution of water in the ditch, they can disregard human life.

But Xiang'an is different, this town, not only did not wither because of the strong rise of the Yu family, on the contrary, it seems that the vast majority of families in the town have benefited because of the Yu family.

"Xiang'an Yu's Halo Hash...... This official, do you want to come to Xiang'an Yu's braised miscellaneous, hot wine, and a stack of braised miscellaneous, but the dog meat is not changed to a good taste! ”

Shi Kefa heard someone calling him, he looked at the vendor pushing the cart, then looked at the breakfast shop next to him, and beckoned, and the vendor suddenly came over with a smile.

"Blanch a pot of wine with me, then serve a bowl of noodle soup, and a plate of Yu's marinated miscellaneous...... Speaking of which, why is your halogen called Yu's halogen, is it the Yu family's industry in the town? ”

"Exactly, exactly......" said the vendor triumphantly.

But the guy who shopped earlier served wine, but it broke his lie: "Don't listen to him, this Xiang'an Yu family is miscellaneous, just borrowing the name of the Yu family, it is actually Lei Jiu's industry, and Lei Jiu is also a good life, with the guidance of Yu Xiaoguan, from a broken household to kill pigs, to today's Lei Benxiao Lei Uncle...... If it weren't for Yu Xiaoguan, he would be no different from a villain! ”

"I'm bah, why do so many people have been instructed by petty officials, and their families have made money, it's Mother Song, and now she has hired two aunts to wash and sew the slurry in the fine willow courtyard, and you have a few hundred yuan a day, but you are still just a guy in a baked cake shop?" The peddler quit: "If you are replaced, it is Yu Xiaoguan who will give you guidance, can you become a climate?" ”

"How can I not, Yu Xiaoguan's fingers can turn iron into gold, he pointed to the mussel, which mussel has pearls in it. Just point me at it, and I'll be covered in gold and silver ......"

"Yu now finally knows why you can't make a fortune, people Yu Xiaoguan said a long time ago, he won't turn any iron into gold, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, he only teaches people how to make a fortune, as for the specific work, he doesn't care."

Hearing this, Shi Kefa was surprised, and ordered a plate of brine miscellaneous at the vendor, and then asked: "Yu Xiaoguan said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, I understand this reason, but what else?" ”

Yu Xiaoguan also said that it is better to ask for others than for yourself, and if you ask for charity from others, it will never be your own, and if you want to make a fortune, you must be diligent, thrifty, sincere and wise. As long as you can do these four words, you can pick up manure and make the family business prosperous, and if you can't do these four words, you will give a mountain of gold and silver, and you will be defeated. ”

"That's true." Shi Kefa nodded.

"That's natural, what our little officials Yu said is reasonable."

"Although it is suspected of being clever and colorful, but ...... In the end, the result is not bad, and it is almost good to persuade people to be diligent and thrifty, sincere, and wise. Shi Kefa thought to himself.

"For example, this miscellaneous, is Yu Xiaoguan pointed out our owner system, our owner and then take it out to sell, at the beginning he and his mother-in-law and aunt, get up early and greedy, and now put down the belongings, so he asked the three of us to help, and finally one day, we can also put down the belongings. It's not like this guy, he is always lazy, thinking about turning iron into gold, so he still needs to do it himself. ”

"I'm just not greedy, where are I lazy, these days, when don't I get up early in the morning to open the door to do business?" The soup shop screamed.

The guy who sold the miscellaneous laughed, and he didn't argue with him, and shouted again with rhyme: "Xiang'an Yu's family is mixed up-"

Shi Kefa stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of marinated miscellaneous, and put it in his mouth, it was really fragrant. Even if he was quite worried in his heart, he couldn't help but have a great appetite, beckoned a few followers, and ate with him.

When he was halfway through eating, he heard the voices of "the little official is early" and "the little official is well" in the distance, he raised his eyes, and saw two teenagers trotting over, one of them was tall and vigorous, extremely eye-catching, Shi Kefa couldn't help but like it when he saw it: "What a man." ”

He looked at another young man, his eyebrows were clear, his face was smiling, he didn't look like a mountain dew, and the people around him greeted him with respect, and he returned the salute casually, not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but like a middle-aged man in his forties with a mature career.

Shi Kefa's pupils contracted suddenly, and he remembered a sentence: the heart is dangerous, the action is firm and firm, the words are false and argued, the ugly is knowledgeable, and the obedience is not good.

These are the five reasons why Confucius killed Shao Zhengmao.

Yu Guozhen trotted over, and he was about to pass by the soup cake shop, but when he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on the soup cake shop, and Shi Kefa's eyes met.

Shi Kefa's entourage was all holding their swords, they felt nervous, but Shi Kefa himself was not afraid.

Yu Guozhen nodded to Shi Kefa outside, and then strode in, Qi Niu followed behind him, a pair of fierce eyes, staring at Shi Kefa's entourage viciously. Shi Kefa's entourage, so overwhelmed by his momentum, couldn't help but stand up.

There is still only Shi Kefa, who is not afraid to sit in danger.

There are only three tables in the soup cake shop, but now it is very empty, only Shi Kefa has a person sitting at this table, Yu Guozhen came to this table, bowed slightly, and then sat down: "Uncle San, bring me a bowl of wonton, and give Lao Niu a big bowl." ”

"It's coming!"

The owner of the soup cake shop also realized that something was wrong, but he had confidence in Yu Guozhen, so he was not afraid. In response, he began to add water to the boiling soup pot, and then poured half a pot of wonton.

While waiting for the wonton, Shi Kefa calmly ate the food in the bowl, while Yu Guozhen looked at him curiously.

After a while, Yu Guozhen couldn't help it, and spoke first: "Senator Shi came so early!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Kefa's entourage changed color, and they came in advance, in order to hide people's eyes, but Yu Guozhen, the target of their trip, had already known about their arrival!

How did they know that Xiang'an had been run by Gao Erzhu like an iron bucket, and Jia Taiji also stretched out his hands and feet to Luzhou, they had just left Luzhou City, Jia Taiji had already received the news, and when they arrived in Xiang'an, the report on their whereabouts had been on Yu Guozhen's book case for a long time!

"If you don't come early, how can you see Yu Youhu's majesty?" Shi Kefa remained silent.

Yu Guozhen also secretly admired him, he deserved to leave a great reputation in history, at least this qi cultivation kung fu was already above him.

"I don't know how Senator Shi feels when he sees it?"

"Confucius has the thing of punishing the young and right." Shi Kefa raised his eyebrows, and his eyes suddenly became shining: "Yu Guozhen, do you think that no one can punish you today?" ”

Qi Niu's thick eyebrows suddenly raised, he is now developed, and he has a short beard, so when he stares at him, he has a bit of Zhang Yide's demeanor as mentioned in the book, but this raised eyebrows, among Shi Kefa's companions, two of them couldn't help but retreat, but they sat at the table again, and immediately brought the bench down together.

This scene made Shi Kefa's momentum disappear, and Yu Guozhen smiled: "Senator Shi, are you Confucius?" ”

This question made Shi Ke [***] stop, no matter how crazy he was, he didn't dare to say that he was Confucius.

Seeing that he was stunned and didn't answer, Yu Guozhen said again: "Even if you are Confucius, is the Ming Dynasty the Lu State or the Eastern Zhou Dynasty?" ”

This is another question that cannot be answered, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period at the time of Confucius, whether it was the Lu State or the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they all came to the point of decline, so Confucius punished the young and righteous to correct the hearts of the people. Could it be that Shi Kefa also believed that the Ming Dynasty had come to the end of the world, so he wanted to punish Yu Guozhen to correct people's hearts?

A qualified official can say this in front of the emperor, but he can't say this behind his back!

"Even if Daming is Lu Guodong Zhou, will I, Yu Guozhen, take the position of Shaozheng?"

Three questions made Shi Kefa unable to answer. Yu Guozhen doesn't have any official position at all now, to the big one, he is just a small country hero, strong and inferior gentry, to the small one, he is just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old white-bodied boy, his influence is not the same as Shao Zhengmao, kill him, can you be righteous in the last days?

"I admire Senator Shi's character, but is it ...... ability" Yu Guozhen sneered: "It is precisely because Senator Shi is incapable that he learned from Meng Weijun and used the means of roosters and dogs to steal?" ”
