Chapter 141: Patience for the Time Being
In the eleventh year of Tianbao, at the beginning of the new year, Xiao went to the sick house and Dongping Wangfu, and lived in Qinrenfang, but the joy and sorrow were different.
There are two houses, one to the west of the north gate, and the other to the south and southeast of the east gate. Although they can't be called neighbors, they live in the same lane, and they don't look up and see each other.
When An Lushan entered the future of the Korean team, the relationship between the two sides was that chickens and dogs heard each other, but they did not get along with each other.
After An Lushan came, Xiao An and the two were obviously hostile and resentful, and the people below, especially the two of them's personal guards, mostly glared at each other angrily when they met, and the final result was that An Lushan's side was quickly defeated.
The reason is simple, most of An Lushan's personal guards are the barbarian Hu people of the grassland, who are afraid of power and strength, Xiao Quai's personal guards are stronger than them, and at that time, Xiao Qubing commanded the forbidden army of Chang'an, plus the dismount deterrent given to them at the beginning.
To be honest, during that time, most of the people who An Lushan's subordinates saw Xiao Zhai took a detour. But since the first day of the 11th year of Tianbao, this situation has completely changed.
In the eyes of all people, Xiao Quzhi's loss of power and even his downfall is almost a foregone conclusion, and because Xiao Qubing and Li Yu decided to forbear, they told the people below to retreat as much as possible in everything, and everything will wait until Luoyang, which naturally fuels the arrogance of An Lushan.
As a result, those Luoluo River and domestic servants under An Lushan began to take the initiative to provoke and find trouble, at first they were still provocative with their eyes, but after seeing the other party's attitude, they intensified and developed into a provocation in words and physical contact.
At noon, several clerks of the Four Seas Trading Company, including Hou Siqi, rushed to Xiao's house under the escort of more than a dozen guards, and met ten An Lushan's guards, who took the initiative to find trouble: "Haha, why don't you stare at me today?" Weren't you fierce before? ”
Xiao went to the sick several rangers to guard. glaring at them, but naturally, it would not have the slightest effect, but it only stimulated their arrogance even more.
"Dare to be so arrogant, dare to stare at your grandpa! How? I'm not convinced, I want to beat your grandpa. Come on! ”
"What's the cowardice, haha, the guy with no eggs, the egg-wrapping egg, the waste."
"The little lady is beautiful, but it's a pity that she is still a chick in her twenties! I'll just say that Xiao Quai, that dog thief, and all the men in the house are eggless goods.! ”
"The little lady might as well follow us, a few of us will let you see what a real man is, and ensure that you are happy to death every night!"
"Xiao Qu's illness is going to be the end of the dog thief. When the time comes, kill all the men in your house, and the women will be killed first! ”
More than a dozen An Lushan's guards smiled excitedly, and two of them were bold, and they were about to step forward and push away the guards of Xiao Zhai who were blocking the front, wanting to touch Hou Siqi and several women.
Several female clerks, including Hou Siqi, looked sad and indignant, their big eyes were full of tears, and several Xiao Quai's relatives and guards had red eyes, and the blue tendons on their foreheads and necks were bursting out. But thinking of Xiao Quai's situation, he didn't say anything to fight back. The front row stood closer and closer, firmly in front of the female clerk.
The two An Lushan's servants pushed hard a few times, but they didn't move without the other party moving, and while they were surprised in their hearts, they didn't dare to draw their knives or make more drastic movements.
At this time, he was almost at the door of Xiao's house, and a middle-aged man named Nan Jiyun ran over. Glaring as if he was going to eat people. Nan Jiyun looks rough and haughty, and his hair is like a halberd, at this time, he is more like an angry King Kong, and his momentum is compelling, and more than a dozen An Lushan guards were a little depressed for a while.
Wait until everyone walks into the gate of the Xiao Mansion. Nan Jiyun turned his face back, glared at them for a moment, and almost said a word: "Dare to stand up for life and death, I will single out a group of you, if you don't dare, you will get out!" ”
Nan Jiyun's murderous appearance was like a killing god, and after such cruel words, more than a dozen people on An Lushan's side looked at each other for a long time, and no one dared to take it, so he left in a huff.
Of course, before leaving, they also left down cruel words such as "you wait" and "I want you to look good", but everyone on Xiao Quai's side saw the small nature of the other party's lust and guilt, and they despised them more and more in their hearts.
But at the same time, I felt that I was being bullied to this extent by a group of young people, and I became more and more resentful and aggrieved to the extreme.
Nan Jiyun walked into the courtyard and looked at Hou Siqi, just as Hou Siqi also cast a grateful glance at him, his eyes were full of affection, Nan Jiyun hurriedly turned his face, his face was red, fortunately his face was black and he couldn't see it.
General Xiao said that he doesn't have too many rules here, as long as the man is not married and the woman is not married, the two parties are in love, whether it is the maid at home or the clerk of the trading company, he is happy to fulfill it. This Hou Siqi is not only good-looking and gentle, but also capable and serious, the kind he likes.
It's just that now Xiao Quai's condition is not good, it's not good to ask the woman's meaning, so let's wait until Luoyang, I have been adrift for half my life, and I should become a family.
A guard in his early twenties walked up to Li Sheng and asked with red eyes, "General Li, how long do we have to endure it?"
Yesterday, this group of Youzhou miscellaneous went to the Sihai supermarket to make trouble, and at first it was quite restrained, but when we blindly retreated, they finally smashed it, snatched and damaged many things, and injured a few people.
Today, it has developed to the point where people blocking us on the road are looking for fault. They are clearly tempting, but they are afraid that the more we retreat, the more these Youzhou dogs will gain an inch, and when will we retreat? ”
More than 100 pairs of eyes looked at it at once, most of these guards who were sick were hot-blooded young people, who were dedicated to serving the country, but now they were treated so unfairly, and they were bullied by a bunch of young people every day.
They are already young and vigorous, where can they stand this, these days, most people have no thoughts of leaving or giving up. But since he still insists on staying and maintaining restraint, he is basically out of admiration and trust in Xiao Quai, and believes that Xiao Qubing can solve this matter.
Some of the employees of the company are gone, and the rest are left because of the company's high welfare and friendly environment.
Many of them are guys and maids from other stores, and they have never seen the owner of a shop so good to their employees. Don't talk about good treatment, don't beat or scold, give every employee a fair opportunity, do a good job and be rewarded, if there are good ideas and suggestions once adopted, they will be promoted and reused;
In the evening, Mr. also arranged for Mr. to teach everyone literacy and arithmetic, and in addition to work, he also organized various games and activities, and arranged for Mr. Storyteller to tell everyone stories. The owner and the housewife did not have a little argument for the most ordinary employees, and those who were not married also said that they would invite them to drink wine when they got married.
This is to treat them as a family and relatives. Liang Guogong's high status, the younger brother of the noble concubine, commanding the entire forbidden army in Chang'an, don't even think about changing to another owner.
What is hateful is that now they have just regarded the Four Seas Trading Company as their home, and the Four Seas Trading Company is also running better and better, but they are going to be snatched away by others!
Li Sheng looked around at everyone with a serious expression, and comforted Wen Yan: "General Xiao and Master Li want us to back down for the time being, not that we are afraid of them, but to take this opportunity to jump out of the quagmire of Chang'an and get out of the development elsewhere."
The grievances we have suffered today will be returned to them a hundred times in the future, and everyone must believe in this. Everyone should endure it for a few days, and His Majesty's anger should be gone. Moreover, today General Xiao will propose to His Majesty to go to Luoyang. (To be continued.) )
