Chapter 0081 - Craftsmanship Can't Be Lost

Abandoning the city is to behead people in the downtown area, it is a kind of death penalty, and the beheading is almost the same meaning, it was abolished when Emperor Wen of Sui was abolished, but it was restored in the Tang Dynasty. Yanzhou Yannei made Gao Shaoji convicted and abandoned the city, which shocked the world's feudal towns. But in Beijing, the civil officials ran to watch, and afterwards they talked about it with relish and praised the Shengming of today. In fact, as long as a military general is convicted and beheaded, the civil officials will applaud.

The contradiction between civil and military affairs began to emerge in the Qianyou period, and this atmosphere was even worse in the Confucian Temple of Guo Weixing, so the separation of civil and military affairs was also urgent, but the ruling class did not realize this sharp contradiction, and still continued to use the old system of the Tang Dynasty.

After Ming Jinrong escorted Gao Shaoji into Beijing, he did what Han Sheng ordered, and then he had nothing to do, and he was very bored waiting in Tokyo. It is rare that Gao Shaoji was executed today, and Ming Jinrong also took a few personal soldiers to go to see the excitement, just beheading people, which is similar to the execution of swords and axes in the army, and it is nothing special.

After the execution, Ming Jinrong originally planned to go to the military camp, but he took the three of them into Beijing, so he could only live in the military camp and stay with the fourth commander Zhang Congzhao, the fifth commander Han Zhiping, Shang Huaqing and others. Zhang Yue's new home can't be lived, and there are many female dependents, which is not convenient. can think of the last time he sent a letter to Zhang Yue's house, Steward Meng said that he would come back to retrieve the letter in a few days, and he had waited for almost half a month, and Ming Jinrong planned to take a look.

From Yulin Lane to Tianshui Lane, then south to Bianhe Street, from the Xiangguosi Bridge, soon arrived in front of Zhang Yue's house. The house has been renovated, the courtyard walls have been painted with red paint, the courtyard gate has been replaced, the gatehouse has also been repaired, and even the evil beasts have been replaced with two white marble.

"Tsk...... That's great! Ming Jinrong stretched out his hand to caress the statue of warding off evil spirits, admiring.

"Xuanjie! Quick look...... That's who is coming! A soldier suddenly interrupted and pointed to a convoy of carriages and horses coming from the street.

"Huh? That good noodle who drove the car was familiar......" Ming Jinrong muttered in surprise.

There were two carriages, followed by more than 100 entourage soldiers, and soon arrived at the door, and the curtains on the back car were lifted, and a familiar face came out, it was Zong Jingcheng.

"Lao Ming! What are you doing here? Could it be that he committed an accident and was driven back to see the gate by the general? Zong Jingcheng laughed and said.

"Cut! I've always been disciplined, what can I do? It's you...... It's been almost two or three months since I went back to Hebei, and the blame for missing the deadline is not small! Ming Jinrong listened to it, and soon realized that Zong Jingcheng was making fun of himself, so he replied.

"What a deadline, don't talk nonsense! This is the general's father, why don't you come and see him? Zong Jingcheng reminded.

I saw that on a carriage in front of me, a tall old man with slightly gray hair came out, it was Zhang Yue's father Zhang Yonghe, he didn't pay attention to the soldiers left and right, and stood by the carriage and looked at the red-painted high-walled courtyard. A tiger-headed young man followed down in the car, naturally Zhang Yue's second brother Zhang Cheng, who also followed the hair.

"Old lady Zhang! You have worked hard all the way here, and the lowly position is the commander of the general, Ming Jinrong, and he saluted the old lady! Ming Jinrong stepped forward and said with a flattering smile.

"You're welcome, don't call me grandpa, I'm not that old, and I haven't seen my grandson, just call me Daddy Zhang!" Zhang Yonghe reached out to help Ming Jinrong up a little helplessly, and smiled modestly.

"What are you still doing? Hurry up and call the door! Ming Jinrong looked back and saw that the soldiers were all looking at Zhang Yonghe and his son curiously, and jumped to his feet and yelled.

The soldiers quickly went to open the door, and the porter came out to take a look, confirming that it was really the old lady who had arrived, and hurriedly ran in to inform Steward Meng. When the housekeeper Meng An heard this, he knew that this was true, and Mrs. Ping had already ordered it, but the old lady didn't come until now.

Although Meng An is a housekeeper, he is a man, and it is not easy to enter the back house, so he called Ge Wanqiu, the housekeeper of the back house, in the atrium and asked her to tell Ping Niangzi. Ge Wanqiu's identity is a little embarrassing, she was originally born in a family of eunuchs, but she was sent to Zhang Yue's mansion when she was in Yuezhou, and now she has become the steward of the back house, and she has no name.

However, everyone understands that she will be a concubine sooner or later, because most of the housekeepers are like this. If you use someone else, I'm afraid Ping Niangzi is not at ease.

Ping Niangzi is naturally Yang Junping, she was really depressed when she received Cheng Yachan's letter, she didn't expect Zhang Yue to hook up with a businesswoman on the road so soon. Zhang Yue naturally wrote a letter, but Liao Liao's words were not 100 words, which probably meant that he expressed those three words: I...... Think...... You!

At this time, I suddenly saw Ge Wanqiu walking quickly into the backyard, and shouted from afar: "Ping Niangzi!" Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Erlang are here! It's already in front of the door. ”

"What? This Zong Jingcheng is really, why don't you notify me before entering the city, I have to hurry up and change my clothes and come out to see the ceremony! Qiu Niang, you go to the atrium to watch, I'll come right away! Yang Junping was a little panicked in her heart, I don't know if Daddy Zhang will look at her unpleasantly, she picked up the rhombic bronze mirror and took a photo, the light makeup was fine, and the fallen horse mustache combed in the morning was not messy, and she made a few expressions on the bronze mirror and smiled! Smile! Chuckle!

"Hmm...... It still looks very dignified, and it shouldn't dislike me! What should be called when it comes to salute? Yang Junping was uneasy in her heart, and felt that it was inappropriate to call the old lady, which was called by the subordinates. Called Daddy? It seems to be even worse......

After a while, Ge Wanqiu ran over and shouted, saying that the old lady and Erlang had entered the front yard, and Steward Meng led him to the front hall and was talking with tea.

Yang Junping thought that it would be best to go to the front yard to see it, if she didn't know the rules and broke into the back house directly, it would be difficult to do. immediately called Ge Wanqiu to accompany them, and when the two went to the front hall, they saw a young man walking around the hall looking around, obviously curious, it must be Erlang. Steward Meng took the lead, and sat an old man dressed plainly, with a dark complexion, a short beard, and a kind and decent look in his eyes.

"The concubine has seen Ah Weng! Hello to Ann! Yang Junping stepped forward and saluted, smiled and whispered. Ge Wanqiu was half a step behind and didn't speak.

"This ...... Please get up, please get up, please ......" Zhang Yonghe was very unaccustomed to it, and smiled a little shyly.

The wife went early, and when the two sons were teenagers, he raised them single-handedly, and now there is suddenly a young girl in front of him who calls himself Ah Weng. Although he had heard Zong Jingcheng say a long time ago, she was a concubine and not a wife, but she was also a daughter-in-law, and she looked okay and was quite well-behaved, but she heard that she was from a humble background, and she was actually a singer. Although he didn't like it in his heart, his son was older and became a big official, and he knew that he couldn't control his son's affairs.

"Ah Weng is new to the city, if you need anything, or if you don't understand, you can find this Steward Meng, and he will help you take care of it!" Yang Junping said again.

"Okay, okay! The old man knows the distance of the big family, but I don't know if there are butchers in this Tokyo city? I can't leave this craft behind! Zhang Yonghe pondered.

"Huh? There is nothing lacking at home, and Ah Weng doesn't have to take care of those livelihoods anymore! Yang Junping almost fainted when she heard this, she dared to love the old man and wanted to continue to be a butcher, wouldn't she really become a laughing stock. The husband found out, and thought that I wouldn't let the old man stay at home.

"That's not going to work! Steward Meng will go to help find a shop tomorrow, and see if it is outside the city, or buy an old house in the city to raise livestock, and it will open in a few days! Zhang Yonghe thought about this at home, and Zong Jingcheng said it so wildly that he didn't want to pay attention to it. Although he has never seen the big world, he is also a businessman and very shrewd.

Yang Junping was crazy, looked at Ge Wanqiu, this girl almost laughed, and looked at Steward Meng, the old Meng Tou was nothing, and nodded in agreement, saying that he was happy to serve, Yang Junping suddenly felt that the whole person was not good.
