The Acropolis of Shenyang is said to be the Acropolis, and the garrison has been greatly reduced over the years, not as much as that year, but because the city has been built for many years, it has already been changed from the original rammed earth to the blue brick repair, the corner towers on all sides, and the whole defense is impregnable, so this important town in the north of Liaoyang is also quite prosperous in commerce. After all, from here to Fushun Pass, where Fushun Horse Market is located, it is only more than 120 miles, which is the place where merchants gather.

Merchants pursue profits, even if Liaodong is almost a war every year, either the Jurchen Koubian, or the barbarian invasion, but several major Malaysian markets are all unprecedentedly prosperous, and the place where the Jurchen is located produces a lot of precious medicinal materials and furs, and many people are not afraid of the bitter cold, and they stay here for decades. As for the local clans in Shenyang, they are all involved in border trade, and even the study of Fan language is placed in the same important position as reading and writing. And because the power of the mutual market is indirectly in the hands of the border generals, and even the price is determined by these high-level military leaders, this makes many local clans not only have an inextricable relationship with the army, but even have people in the army.

So, the group of people under the banner of the Li family entered the city, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Li Chengliang has been in charge of the general army for five years, and he has fought well, the governor of Jiliao and the governor of Liaodong have all supported him, and the court and the central government have the support of the first assistant, everyone knows that this is An Ruo Taishan. In addition, Li Chengliang raised thousands of families by throwing down a lot of money, and everyone in Liaodong knew about it, and as soon as the clothes appeared, I don't know how many people spread the news in all directions.

Soon, all kinds of people up and down in Shenyang City knew that Li Rusong, the eldest son of the Liaodong General Army, lived in the Shenyang Garrison Mansion, and some of the entourage Ding was placed in the official office. Some of them were temporarily seconded to the surrounding barracks and inns.

In comparison. Fan Dou returned to Shenyang in the middle of the Li family. The news only shocked a few people.

The Shenyang Fan family is now said to be a big family in Shenyang, but their ancestral home is not in Liaodong. In the early years of Hongwu, Cheng Fanyue, who was originally from Jiangxi, was demoted to Liaoyangwei because of the fire that burned the county government classics, and then settled in Dadongli, Shenyang. He had two sons in his hometown, married his wife Xu in Shenyang, and gave birth to three sons, and he himself returned to his hometown in the first year of Jianwen. Xu and one of their sons, Fan Xiaowen, stayed in Shenyang, which was the beginning of the Shenyang Fan family. Among Fan Xiaowen's five sons, except for the third son, who had no heirs, the rest were many sons and grandchildren, and finally formed the four major branches of the Fan family in Shenyang.

Among the four major branches, the second room was the most prominent among all the clansmen because of a person who was admitted to Jinshi all the way from Xiucai, and finally became Fan Hua of Shangshu for a time. Although Fan Hua was once dismissed from office, and was angrily demoted to the people because Emperor Jiajing wanted to reuse him in many ways, the old official was recovered in the first year of Longqing. In total, Fan gave birth to fourteen sons. Because he himself has outstanding prestige, and he has been a scholar. As long as the fourteen sons are a little promising, most of them have an official and a half-job, and they are also famous for their talents. Today's Shenyang Zhongwei commander Tongzhi Fan Shen is his sixth son.

As for the four and five rooms of the long house, although it is nothing compared with the prosperity of the second room, it can break the bones and connect the tendons, some of the clansmen moved to Fushun, and there was quite a kick in the middle of the horse market, and the other part was looking for a livelihood in Shenyang City, but many people were mixed with bright and nourishing. However, because the Fan family is too good at giving birth, even if the four rooms worship the same ancestor, worship the ancestors together, and elect the patriarch to be in charge of the affairs of the clan, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, so naturally there will inevitably be those messy things.

Fan Dou is the son of the fifth house, counting up, his grandfather is the seventh son of his great-grandfather, and his father is the sixth son of his grandfather, and although he himself is an only son, he has long been poor. In his early years, he relied on his proficiency in the language to work as a partner for a merchant, and was engaged to a family next door with the same poor family, but when he was about to marry, he died of his father, and the family fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

Fan Che said that he was a cousin, but he was only three years older than Fan Dou, at that time, Yuan Pei had just died, his family was well-off, and he had a reputation for showing talent, and then there were the most common dramas in the market, Fan Dou was swept out of the clan, and went to his cousin Wang in a miserable and miserable manner.

Therefore, today, when I saw Fan Dou returning to Shenyang with Li Rusong's group, and even dared to stare at himself, Fan Che had a gloomy face until he went home. Fan Hua is his cousin, when he was at home, his father often went around to talk about peace, mixed up a familiar face, plus money can make ghosts grind, even if he is an old man who has no impression of this uncle at all, and finally got a show of fame, but Shenyang Weixue has not been there for a day. After he just saw Fan Dou enter the city, he also went to the Shenyang Garrison Mansion with him, and wanted to find his cousin Fan Shen to inquire about it, but Li Rusong's arrival made it heavily guarded here, and he could only return in a huff.

"Daddy's back."

Hearing this sweet and greasy voice, Fan Che didn't know why, he suddenly gave birth to an evil fire, kicked the pretty maid away, and shouted: "What about that slut? Still pretending to be sick? ”

Everyone in this family knows that Fan Che and Xu Xian Mei's have long been out of the same room, plus Mei's small family is from a small family, whether it is a maid or a concubine, they have no respect for this housewife, although they were kicked at this moment, the pretty maid immediately smiled and said: "My mother is still lying on the bed, saying that her chest hurts......"

"Chest pain...... Hmph, her old lover is back, why don't she hurry up and dress up to see her old lover and show me the corpse on the bed? Go and tell her that Fan Dou is a mud dou who can't be helped, and it is better to expect the sun to come out in the west than to expect him to have a beautiful day! He roared loudly, and saw that the pretty maid quickly got up and walked away, thinking that he would not only relay these words, but also sneer, add fuel and vinegar, he snorted coldly and turned his head and left, ready to go to his cousin Fan Shen's house to wait for the rabbit.

This was a whole hour, and when he almost dozed off, he jumped up when he heard the sound, and what he saw was his cousin Fan Shen who opened the curtain and entered. He didn't have time to greet him, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sixth brother, what is Grand Master Li doing in Shenyang this time?" How could you bring Fan Dou's kid? ”

Fan Shen said that he was a cousin, but he was twice as old as Fan Che. When he left the Shenyang Garrison Mansion, he got a letter from his own soldiers for Fan Che, asking him to come back quickly, and when he went home, he learned that Fan Che had been waiting at home until now. As soon as he sat down in the center chair with a rigid face, he scolded hatefully: "You are embarrassed to say! Fan Dou is indeed not a talent, but in terms of name, he is also your nephew, and you actually kicked out your life because you took a fancy to his fiancée, and you don't want to think about whether it hurts Tianhe! ”

Fan Che knew that this cousin had always been bitter in his mouth, but in fact, he was the most important relative, so he didn't argue, but said in a low voice: "Sixth brother, I know that I went too far back then, but if you look at Fan Dou's poor appearance, you will know that following him is to endure hardships and drink the northwest wind, not to mention that my family now has to rely on medicine all day long, can his Fan Dou's daughter-in-law afford to eat?" I'm afraid that he will shake up with Master Li, and when the time comes, he will play some kind of moth. You are doing well, help me find out, and let me feel at ease. ”

Although he had only scolded him, under Fan Che's soft grinding and hard foaming, Fan Shen finally stood up angrily, and shouted with a calm face: "Wait here, I'll give up my face and help you ask." ”

Fan Che hurriedly bowed and sent Fan Shen away, and as soon as the others left, he immediately went to call his cronies over and asked them to go to the homes of several clansmen to deliver the letters. You must know that he gave a bunch of benefits to these elders at the beginning, so he got his wish and married Mei back. Although he was now tired of his wife, he was afraid that his old enemy Tengda would find trouble, so he made up his mind that if the news was not good, he would pull the old ladies of these clans into the water together. After about an hour, he was almost waiting to yawn before he waited for Fan Shen, who came back in a hurry. Seeing that his face was very unsightly, he chuckled in his heart.

"Sixth brother, could it be that Fan Shen's kid really climbed up to the eldest son of Li? No, didn't I inquire before, saying that the Aunt Wang next to Li Dashuai didn't remember this relative at all, so she casually arranged an errand for him to raise horses? ”

"He doesn't have the luck to join Master Li." Seeing that Fan Che breathed a long sigh of relief, Fan Shen sat down with his buttocks, patted the armrest and said, "But he was recommended by Aunt Wang to Wang Fulin, the top three last year!" It is said that he is quite valued by Wang Fulin, and even Grand Prince Li will say a few words to him, look at what this is called! ”

"Last year's top three? Isn't that still the top three? It's not a second-class inheritance, what's the big deal. Fan Che, who is a talented person, didn't understand Fan Shen's anger, "As long as it's not the Li family, what does it matter?" ”

"Idiot! Eighteen-year-old Sanjia Chuanlu, do you think you can pass the exam casually? Moreover, the uncle's uncle is Wang Daokun, the squire of the Ministry of War, Wang Daokun and Qi Jiguang have a good relationship, and he is also the old subordinate of Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who was recommended by Tan Lun when he took over as the governor of Fujian. In other words, the two military officials involved are Li Dashuai's bosses, what do you say? ”

Seeing that Fan Che finally had some comprehension, Fan Shen frowned and ordered: "Wang Fulin will leave for Fushun Pass tomorrow, and Li Dagongzi will stay in Shenyang for two days, in short, you can settle down, and when Wang Gongzi returns, I will see if I can think of any way." As long as you find a mistake and quit him, then there is nothing to worry about. ”

Fan Che agreed in his mouth, but he quickly thought about it in his heart. If it was really Fan Dou who climbed such a high branch, he might become a great disaster in the future. Instead of waiting for someone to be full-fledged in the future, it's better to take advantage of the fact that this guy is just starting out and strike first! If these people go to other places, he can't do anything, but these people are going to Fushun Pass! (To be continued.) )
