Three days later, near Xinnong Town, in a quiet courtyard. Shen Jinying looked at the furnishings around her, nodded and said, "It's almost, when I first met Rong An, it was like this." It's just that now, the peach blossoms are still the same, and the human face is no more. He is no longer the down-and-out scholar he was at the beginning, and I am no longer the top red man in Houjia Lane. Guanhou, look at it, is my sister old and ugly? ”

"Where, sister, what you said is not right. Isn't there a ready-made full-length mirror? You take a photo, let's not talk about this small place, it is in Sijiu City, and there are few sisters who look like me. As soon as our Lord Yuan saw your handwritten letter, he couldn't keep his soul and couldn't even take care of military affairs, so he wanted to come to meet my sister. How can this sentiment be fake? I see that the wives and concubines in his house are not as good as yours when they are tied together. ”

After Zhao Guanhou brought Shen Jinying to Xinnong, he did not let her go directly to visit Yuan Weiting, the sauce jar was broken, the shelf did not fall, and the pollen champion in Houjia Lane was even more decent. So she settled in this farmhouse in the countryside for the time being, and hired a few servants to serve her, as if she were a broad wife.

His heart is extremely meticulous, and the meticulous arrangements everywhere make Shen Jinying very satisfied, and this brother is also very easy to call. Zhao Guanhou secretly thought in his heart that there are now two women calling their brothers, one is calling for wind and rain in Jinmen, and the other is about to enter the Yuan family's house, but he doesn't know who he wants in the future.

He went back to the camp to pay the order, Yuan Weiting roughly asked about the past, and heard that he saw Li Lianying and got Pi Ni Li's guidance, but he was very satisfied. After all, there are a lot of officials who have run connections in Beijing, and there are thousands of people who follow Li Lianying's door, but Li Lianying is only one person, where can I see him. It is already a blessing to be able to see his nephew's three bellies, and about 20,000 taels of silver before and after can buy a few words from Li Lianying, which is an extremely cheap price. Yu Zhao Guanhou also gave a few words of encouragement, but as for the matter of Majiabao, he never mentioned it from beginning to end, and it seemed that he didn't know that it had happened at all.

Shen Jinying didn't arrange it here, so he didn't mention asking Yuan Weiting to come over, until the arrangement here was the same as when they first met, and then he wrote a letter, which was handed over to Yuan Weiting by Zhao Guanhou. Yuan Weiting only looked at the handwriting on the letter, his expression changed, and then asked Zhao Guanhou where he met Shen Jinying. Hearing that he brought Shen Jinying back to Jinmen, he only said that he would come to see him in the evening, and did not say much else.

Before the sun set, Yuan Weiting had already arrived. There weren't many people he brought, only a dozen servants and Tang Tianxi. Zhao Guanhou stood outside the courtyard door and stepped forward to give a salute, and Yuan Weiting waved his hand, "You're welcome." I'm here today just to see if Jin Ying is doing well, and I don't have to talk about official business, and I don't have to be polite. ”

Tang Tianxi brought a few subordinates, and he waited to check it first, but was stopped by Yuan Weiting, "No need!" Kim Young will never hurt me, and if she wants to hurt me, she won't have to wait until today. You're all guarding outside, Crown, and I'm glad you two go in with me. ”

When he entered the living room, Yuan Weiting's body froze there, and Zhao Guanhou peeked and saw that the muscles on his face were trembling slightly. This is not to blame Yuan Weiting for his gaffe, the layout in the room is too familiar.

Back then, he was a down-and-out scholar who was unfavorable in the imperial examination and had no way to become famous. And Shen Jinying is a famous Beijing teacher who befriended the minister. Surrounded by her, there are not only famous talents in the capital, but also ministers of ministries and courts, and there are not a few relatives and nobles in the clan. I never thought that I could be favored by such a beauty.

But I don't want to, Shen Jinying has a unique vision, not only really let herself stay overnight, but also give everything she has to help herself with some joints. It is precisely because of Shen Jinying and a group of sisters that day that they received distinguished guests for themselves that there is today's Yuan Weiting. He is not a lucky person, and after he made his fortune, he also sent people to the old land to search, but he could no longer find anyone. I thought that a fate would be over, but I didn't want to meet again today.

There were red candles hanging high in the room, and hanging on both sides was the couplet in Yuan Weiting's handwriting. Shen Jinying was wearing old clothes, sitting upright in the middle, holding the pipa in her arms, and not saying a word. This couplet is framed very exquisitely, the owner is also very careful, a few years, and no damage, Rao is Yuan Weiting has always been calm, seeing this situation, I couldn't help but walk a few steps, came to Shen Jinying, and called "Jinying!" ”

Zhao Guanhou and Tang Tianxi glanced at each other and quietly retreated outside. Tang Tianxi's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Zhao Guanhou, and arched his hand, "Second Master Zhao, I underestimated you in the past, but I didn't expect your scheming to be so deep." Without saying a word, he found the adult's favorite, and in the future, Tianxi is afraid that he will rely on Zhao Erye to protect it. ”

"Brother Tianxi, you're welcome." Zhao Guanhou knew that there would definitely be people who would be jealous of his actions, and even in the inner house, there would be people who hated him. There is no way to do this, you can't please everyone, you can only bet on one person.

He smiled, "You are an adult's confidant, how can outsiders compare this affection." Zhao was lucky, he met Mrs. Shen and brought people back, it was just a duty to do his duty, he didn't do anything, how dare he take credit for this, let alone fight with Brother Tang. ”

Tang Tianxi snorted, "Brother Guanhou doesn't have to be too humble, this Mrs. Shen can be found out by you, what else you can't do, little brother, I, but I don't dare to compare with you." But I want to ask, this Mrs. Shen is back, how are you going to explain it to the fifth aunt? ”

Yuan Weiting's main room is in his hometown in Henan, and the three concubines he married from Goryeo are also in his home in Henan, and only the fifth aunt Taiyang is left by his side. This woman has the means and is good at management, she is the chief manager of Yuan Weiting's house, and her authority is extremely heavy, and Tang Tianxi can be regarded as a person on her side. If Shen Jinying entered the Yuan family, he would know that he would have a fight with the Yang family, and Tang Tianxi now had to think of a way out for his master. Naturally, he was angry with Zhao Guanhou.

"This kind of thing...... I think the fifth aunt will be very happy. After all, the fifth aunt is too big to be favored by others, she must be a very virtuous character, I heard that her husband reunited with her old love, she should be happy for him, it is best to do a good job of marrying on behalf of her husband, so as to live up to her reputation, what does Brother Tang think? ”

"You?!" Tang Tianxi choked on this sentence and didn't catch his breath, his face was extremely ugly, it seems that Zhao Guanhou has an unusual relationship with the Shen family, and he is destined to be a person in her line, and he is afraid that he will not be able to go together with himself in the future. The two of them stood outside, speechless, only listening to the room crying and laughing for a while, otherwise there would be no sound. When the time came to early seven o'clock in the evening, Yuan Weiting shouted in the room:

"Oh my God, go and give my orders, I'm staying here tonight. Let them all go back to the camp and not make a big noise. Guanhou, you come in, I have something to ask you. ”

When I entered the room, I saw that Yuan Weiting had taken off his long coat outside, and only wore a small gown and half-cut pants inside, looking homely. Shen Jinying sat beside him, poured a glass of wine for Yuan Weiting, and nodded to Zhao Guanhou, "Brother, come and sit." Today is a family dinner, and I don't care about you and your brother-in-law's business, but here, everyone only talks about family life, and the family should eat together. ”

"I don't dare." Zhao Guanhou knew that people like Yuan Weiting were most afraid of his subordinates being inferior to him, which made it difficult for him to exercise authority. But as long as he makes this attitude, the next thing is his moment of tenderness.

Sure enough, Yuan Weiting showed an extremely kind smile, "Come here, sit down." Since you and Jin Ying think of you as sisters and brothers, everyone is a family, don't be so outside. I just have something to ask you. ”

When Zhao Guanhou was done, Yuan Weiting said: "I heard Jin Ying say that you stood up for her and fought for her, what's going on?" ”

Falsehoods have been made up for a long time, some of which are true and some of which are false, and it is extremely difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. The incident of smashing cars and killing horses at Majiapu Station is very noisy, and it must be impossible to hide it. But whether it is Duanwangfu or Qingwangfu, they will not make Pu Jun's pursuit of ten grids public, and there is room for doing things here.

"Ten Gege came to the car to me, Sister Jin Ying knew that I was a person next to an adult, so she wanted to come and ask how the adult was doing. I don't want to be seen by Junbeile, I want him to be a fourteen child, so nothing will happen. Unbeknownst to him, there were people around him who made him bad, and Jun Belle insisted on taking Sister Jin Ying back to his house, and there was a conflict between the two sides. I happened to encounter a lowly position, so I made a move, and Meng Lang did this thing, please punish the adult. ”

"Fourteen, child? You're still young, Zong Jue Luri, when you're fourteen years old, how many have you never slept with a woman? Yuan Weiting's face became ugly, and he slapped the table with his hand

"This person who has finished the Yan family has no ability to do the right thing, but when it comes to messing around, they are all first-class skills, who can compare to them? Even the uncle of the Six Sages died like this. If you say another disrespectful word, what happened to Emperor Mu Zongyi's smallpox, everyone knows in their hearts, and when he was a guest, he was only nineteen! ”

This is a bit disrespectful, but there are only three people and six ears in the room, and they will not leak out, and making this kind of example means that they do not treat Zhao Guanhou as an outsider. Moreover, even if this kind of thing wants to leak, it can't leak anywhere, but it can be said that it doesn't cost a penny, and it can make the people around you die.

"The day before yesterday, Duandi sent a letter over, saying that you had injured his second son, and asked me to deal with you strictly, and the letter was still in the drawer of my desk."

Zhao Guanhou thought of the past few days, Yuan Weiting's expression was as usual, no different from himself, and he didn't want to have this kind of change. He knew that at this time, he had to show sincerity and fear before this scene could be performed. Whether it is going to be a horse slasher, or a desperate meeting, or a dedicated assassination of the king, it can only be decided by the development of the situation. Hurriedly left the table and knelt down, "Damn it!" You shouldn't cause trouble, please punish you. ”

"Brother, don't kneel. If your brother-in-law wants to be strict with you, then even your sister should do it too. If it weren't for me, how could you get into trouble? ”

Shen Jinying interjected at the right time, her pretty face sank, and a sad expression appeared on her face, "If you want to say something wrong, it's my fault, you can kill me, use my head, and go to King Duan to make amends." ”

Yuan Weiting was busy accompanying him carefully, "Jin Ying...... I just said this, why are you so angry. Naturally, I won't dispose of Guanhou because of this. If you want me to say, a bastard like Pu Jun, beating him up, this is light. If such a prodigal kid hits my hands, he will be killed with a knife, what can he do! ”

He slapped the table hard, "What is Chengyi, and it's also matched with me?" No one in the new army, except me, has the right to decide on rewards and punishments. He Chengyi can manage his Wusheng New Army, and if he wants me to dispose of my people, he is daydreaming! Guanhou, don't worry, you did the right thing in this matter, even if you have a lawsuit with him in the future, we are justified! It's a big deal, so I gave up my official position and went back to Henan to farm. ”

"Rong An, I'll accompany you back to my hometown." Shen Jinying grabbed Yuan Weiting's arm with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful, "Let's two men and women weave, be a loving couple, and grow old." ”

Yuan Weiting smiled with satisfaction, and took Shen Jinying's hand, "Jin Ying, I know your affection, but if I can't let you live a good life, what face do I have to see you." ”

He looked at Zhao Guanhou again, "Guanhou, Jin Ying has already told me, from the capital to here, along the way, thanks to your support for her, we met again today." The two of you think of you as brother and sister, and you are your own. I've always been honest with my own people. Even if there is no Jin Ying, I will not dispose of my beloved general because of the eight elements of the king at one end. But...... I wanted to sponsor you to work in the general office of King Qing's national affairs yamen. After all, you are proficient in foreign literature and understanding, if you go to the general office of the national affairs yamen, I am afraid that it will not be the second Zhang Yinheng? In national difficulties, we think of good generals, and when we are in turmoil, we want to be loyal. In today's imperial court, Zeng Wenzheng, Zuo Jigao and other talents cannot be found, even those who can do practical things are rare. Guanhou, you are one of the few talents, I really want to protect you. If you want to go to Jingli, I will write you a letter of recommendation, and King Qing will definitely use it again. ”

He said it very sincerely, and Zhao Guanhou also believed that as long as he nodded, he would really write a letter of recommendation and send it to him. Perhaps, the letter has already been written, and if it weren't for Shen Jinying's file, I'm afraid that he would have to be sent to Beijing in two days.

In terms of ability, he is a very suitable person to go to Beijing to do foreign affairs. And you can also stay away from the battle formation, and you will not suffer from the sword soldiers. But the problem is that he beat Pu Jun, and if he enters Beijing at this time, it is tantamount to sending it under the other party's nose. Either kill Duanwang's family, or you have to wait to be killed by Duanwang. What's more, he slept ten grids, and this matter was revealed sooner or later, and King Qing would not give up with himself.

He wasn't afraid of a King Qing or King Duan, but with Su Hanzhi, he had to think more about her safety, so he knelt down again without hesitation and said, "My lord, I am willing to be used under your hands, and I don't want to go to the capital to run errands." ”

"Call brother-in-law!" Yuan Weiting pulled him up and pressed him back to his seat, "When there are no outsiders, just call my brother-in-law." Your own people, don't see outside. You are a talented person, if you are here with me, you are just afraid that you will miss the future. But now that you've decided, I'm not going to be strong. On Duanwang's side, you don't have to worry about it, I have to deal with it. Although he is a prince, I am not afraid of him. Back then, Zhang Hefei ran Beiyang, and even the Six Sages had to make way for him. How is today's Duan King better than the Six Sage Kings of the past? Now the Hunan army is brave, and they are all useless. As long as we pass the level of the Queen Mother's observation and exercise, let the Queen Mother know that we are good soldiers who can fight, and King Duan will not dare to embarrass us. ”

"Your Excellency...... Brother-in-law, rest assured, I will do my best to watch the exercise this time, and go all out. ”

Yuan Weiting nodded with satisfaction, and Shen Jinying also helped beside him, "Shigege also said that the crown marquis will become a great weapon one day, and if you think about it, Shigege will not be wrong." ”

After eating a few more glasses of wine, seeing that it was not early, Zhao Guanhou retired with interest, Yuan Weiting did not bring guards, and the safety matter had to be handed over to him to be responsible. Therefore, I could not leave, so I could only go to the porter and make a pot of hot tea for the vigil. Several people in the courtyard were not very smart, so they avoided trouble, and they all went back to sleep.

Zhao Guanhou was the only one in the gatehouse, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and listening to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, he secretly thought in his heart: This treasure should be bet on.

Although Yuan Weiting is a hero, he can almost figure out his six or seven points of thought, and this time he should be true about his retention. He also attaches equal importance to talents, and his own talents fall into his eyes, as long as they can be used for them, he obviously wants to be promoted.

As long as you pass the parade and watch the exercises, your future will definitely not be bad. He doesn't care about the size of the official position, or rather, in his opinion, he doesn't really care much about the official position of the Jin State now. It's just that on the side of Shigege, he needs to have an official position to have an explanation. Su Hanzhi also needs to have an official position to make her live a better life. For them, they can only climb up hard. (To be continued.) )
