Chapter 142: The Post Chief
"Then brother-in-law, do you still accept this money?" Liu Yuqing didn't seem to understand and asked.
"Accept it, why not." Chen Xiaoyi glanced at Liu, his eyes hidden, and he couldn't see any changes in his dark face, but his voice was much lower, "It's for your sister." ”
After speaking, Chen Xiaoyi hurriedly walked out of the hall, as if he was running away.
"I'll keep it first, tell me when Ping'er wants to use it, and then take it out." Liu received ten taels of silver and followed him out of the hall.
Liu Yuqing was still a little stunned, he didn't understand, he raised his hand and wanted to ask Liu, but Liu's steps were fast, and when he stepped out of the hall, he turned around and went from the backyard.
"Where do you store your silver in the backyard?" Letting go, Liu Yuqing asked Chen Ping, "Also, is your grandfather angry with your grandfather, or angry with your uncle?" ”
"No one is angry, maybe he is angry with himself." Chen Ping said the substance.
But these words made Liu Yuqing confused again, his head was just more confused, and finally rubbed his hands, picked up the wooden stick by the brazier, picked up the charcoal in the basin, and didn't ask.
This family is really weird.
"Can you teach me the technique of Bose, it's the kind that makes a lot of money." Warming his palm, Liu Yuqing took out a Shi Qiong from his arms, "I, Shi Qiong, have brought it." ”
After Chen Ping left that day, Liu Yuqing has been pondering Chen Ping's technique, learning to throw expensive, holding Qiong's posture is right, but the color thrown is not as casual as Chen Ping.
It took more than 100 throws, and it was only more than a dozen times expensive, all by luck. Today, Liu Yuqing came to learn the technique of throwing colors from Chen Ping.
"Aren't you quitting? If the player has a lot of money, he will lend me more. "There must be techniques, but Chen Ping doesn't want to say that this thing, a mountain is higher than a mountain, Hong Quan will lose to himself, that is because his strength is not enough, Chen Ping doesn't think that winning a Hong Quan is winning everyone, "I am all lucky, there are no skills." ”
"I'm just curious, I'm really not betting. The money in the family is all in Grandpa's, even this time I took ten taels of silver, and I had to take some vouchers when I went back. ”
Liu Banmu is now guarding against thieves and Liu Yuqing, which Chen Ping agrees with.
"Although my grandfather is stingy, he did a good job this time, and that's how it should be." Chen Ping nodded, "It's better not to play Bose, there are people who are more powerful than that Hong Quan, and if Hong Quan is more ruthless that day, he doesn't admit it, what should we do?" ”
"Then fight, I'm not afraid of him." Liu Yuqing said.
"Do your eye sockets still hurt?" Chen Ping asked.
After these days of recuperation, the bruises and scars on his face have dispersed, but the bruises in Liu Yuqing's eyes are still there.
"If you don't teach, you won't teach, your nephew, but you will teach me a lesson." Seeing that Chen Ping didn't let go, Liu Yuqing directly threw Shi Qiong into the brazier, "I'm just curious." ”
"Don't talk about that." Chen Ping stared at Shi Qiong in the brazier, the charcoal fire was stirring, and the gray Shi Qiong gradually turned black, "Are you very familiar with Zhou Yu?" ”
"That's nature, how?" This jump is a bit big, Liu Yuqing said, "I knew him before you were born, and he is now doing the work of a postman in that post near the entrance of the village." ”
"I know this, I saw him the last time I came back from my uncle's house." Chen Ping said, "I'm afraid that the post man's business is not easy to do, right?" ”
"Well, the people who ushered in and sent to the government are all in the government, and they are all in a hurry, it must be difficult to serve, Zhou Yu is already clever, and he has been doing it for a long time in that post, and there are several times when he almost lost his life......" Liu Yuqing said to Zhou Yu, and Chen Ping also wrote it down one by one.
By the time Liu Yuqing finished speaking, Chen Ping's understanding of Chuanyi was also deeper.
Thirty miles of a post, relying on the capital or a prosperous state and county, it may be ten to twenty miles of a post, in the remote borderlands, the distance between the posts can reach hundreds of miles. This post next to Shangwan Village is called Shangwan Station.
The post has a post name, which Chen Ping knows, Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong's decades-long war was unveiled in Shangyuanyi, and another famous Chenqiao mutiny actually happened in Chenqiaoyi.
But there are others, which Chen Ping has never heard of, and from Liu Yuqing's ears, it is really exciting and useful.
The highest authority in charge of the post is the military department of Shangshu Province, and each post has a special prefect, mainly the soldiers and county commanders of the prefecture and county.
The post chief was served by a wealthy family, and the name of Shangwan Post was Shangwan, but this rich family was not selected from Shangwan Village, but from Shangtu, and his name was Xue Jin.
"Do you know who this Xue Jin is?" When Liu Yuqing talked about Xue Jin, he stopped and asked Chen Ping, gloating with a villain on his face.
"Could it be Xue Xiong's own family?" Chen Ping guessed that they were all Shangtu Village, and they were all surnamed Xue, which was very likely.
Liu Yuqing looked bored, this is not the first time Chen Ping has guessed, some time ago in Shangwan Village, the same is true for Hong Quan's gang.
"Really." Looking at Liu Yuqing's expression, Chen Ping knew that he had guessed correctly, and couldn't help laughing, "This thing is even more interesting, it seems that the Xue family is not monolithic." ”
Although the post chief has a long character, it is not a good errand. The rich Zhangyi is also called the catch station, and when you look at the name, with a catch word, you can guess a rough idea. Such wealthy families often live in the post with their families.
Shangwan Station is not far from Shangtu Village, that is, a road of more than ten miles, and it stands to reason that Xue Jin does not need to live in the post with his family. After all, there are frequent exchanges in the post and mixed livestock, which is not as clean and comfortable as the village.
But this Xue Jin just dragged his family to live in the post.
"There is still a big contradiction between the two families." Chen Ping came to such a conclusion.
In the end, Chen Ping also went to the west room to get charcoal and hemp paper, and wrote down these, which made Liu Yuqing on the side curious.
Liu Yuqing stayed at Chen Ping's house for one day, and on the second day, he rode a donkey and went back against the cold wind. Before leaving, he kept reminding Chen Ping that he had free time, and he must let Zhao Gui go to Shangwan Village and help make the kang too.
The breath of the first day was only a few days, and as soon as the cold wind blew, it gradually cooled down, and only a group of children in the village were still walking around the village against the cold wind, or putting some firecrackers.
The ice mouth at the edge of the water was closed again overnight, Chen Ping took a hammer to chisel it open, and when the limelight was not so big, he occasionally went to catch some fish with Chen Ya.
It's not necessarily about eating, it's about fun.
The wind was strong, and it looked like it was going to snow, so Chen Ping asked Chen Hecai to help make a set of high and low bars, made of iron, and put them in his own courtyard, and found some stones of different sizes but regular shapes from the river in the village, and moved them into the corner of his own hall and house.
The strength can't be stopped for a day, and Chen Ping can only wait for other things now, but the exercise continues.
After a few days like this, when it came to the day of the day, the gloomy sky was finally covered with goose feathers and heavy snow, and after half an hour, the village house was covered with white clothes, and the snow was covered with snow, and the Liuhe Mountain was even more covered in silver, covered under the snow, and the hazy shadows of the trees were soon connected.
"Bang bang ......."
The courtyard door was locked, the door of the hall was half hidden, Chen Ping fished out a piece of fish from the pot, and bit it in small bites, but there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, which was continuous, urgent and loud, accompanied by the sound of metal colliding.
