"Son-in-law Ximen Qing greets Lord Yue!"

It's still the atrium last night, and the prefect Cheng Wanli is sitting in the head of the master seat at the moment, but he is not standing, nor is he sitting, and he is really embarrassed. @.23wx.

In terms of rank, Ximenqing in front of him is just a petty official from the eighth grade, far compared to the prefect who is not the fifth grade. can talk about power, but the young man in front of him is the new favorite in front of the official family, Zhu Mian's first-class figure, and his future is limitless. More importantly, that Zhu Mian is only a craftsman, although he is now like the "King of Jiangnan", but the future will stop at Jiangnan should be the right envoy, even if there is grace in the future, it is just a reward for a high-grade official, and it is a delusion to enter the general, but it is a delusion to enter the government.

And Ximen Qing is different, those two new words have been sung all over Tokyo through the mouth of Cui Niannu, even the market children are also catchy, and this kind of talent is also famous in the official family, which can be said to be Jane in the emperor's heart. At present, the military ministers who have been awarded the rank of lieutenant of the imperial military are only because they have not studied too much in the imperial examination, and because of the laws of the imperial court, they cannot be awarded the background of civil ministers. It's just that such a talented and shocking figure, how can the scholar see him as Zhu Mian's and other puppets, and he will not attract the attack of other courtiers and bigwigs when he becomes a courtier in the future.

There are officials to take care of him, and his own talent is also extraordinary, but I am afraid that it will not take ten years to have a place for this person in the two mansions. Such a young handsome man with a high future, if his daughter is his wife, he is afraid that he will still climb high. It's a pity that there is already an eldest woman in this family, and her daughter has always been out of moderation, which is a pity.

Until this moment, Cheng Wanli thought that his daughter was out of order at the hands of thieves, and was later rescued by Ximen Qing and taken as a concubine. After all, Ximenqing has a connection with Liangshan Zhongkou, but Cheng Suqing does not dare to announce such things. This alone can also be seen that he has a love for Ximen Qing between men and women, and would rather bear the name of losing his own festival to keep Ximen Mansion safe.

"Virtuous son-in-law, please get up, since you are a son-in-law, it is like coming to your own home! Although I have three heirs under my knees, there is only one daughter, Su Qing, your mother-in-law and I are arches like treasures, I only hope that the virtuous son-in-law will look at my thin face in the future, so that I can take care of it! ”

Although they admitted the relationship between each other's sons-in-law, they still didn't dare to put up the so-called father-in-law's shelf. First, the daughter from home is not in the main room, and the other is that he is a five-grade official in front of Ximenqing, and he is indeed not angry. Like this kind of fortunate minister of the Son of Heaven, even if he is a high-ranking official in Beijing, he needs to be wholeheartedly accepted, where will he be judged by his official rank.

"Su Qing's appearance is refined, her mind is clever, her son-in-law is really happy, and she definitely doesn't dare to treat her lightly, and her father-in-law can rest assured!"

Cheng Wanli personally lifted Ximen Qing up from the ground, and the latter was also knowledgeable and interested, and quite respectfully helped Cheng Zhifu back to sit down, but he retreated to the side and stood up, very polite, and did not pretend to be an official of his own official family.

Seeing that Ximen Qing was so polite, the little pimple that Cheng Wanli originally had in his heart immediately disappeared, and the more he looked at his son-in-law, the more satisfied he became.

In the backyard of the prefect's mansion at this time, the maid who heard the news was announced, and Cheng Wanli's old lady was also smiling. She is also from a scholarly family, different from ordinary women's families, and naturally knows that Ximenqing's future prospects are limitless. Now I hear that my son-in-law is first-class in character and appearance, and he is humble and polite, and his daughter will not be wronged. Besides, in the eyes of this old lady, Ximenqing's wife is only the daughter of a small military minister, and she has not been born for several years, and her son-in-law will be thousands of miles away in the future.

had a lunch at Cheng's house, because he was going to Dengzhou to take up his post, there were still many things at home, and Ximenqing left immediately. As for Cheng Suqing, because he was robbed by the Liangshan people, he was separated from his parents for several months, so he stayed in Fucheng for a while, and waited until Ximenqing led a group of relatives to Dengzhou to pick up people.

After this incident, Ximenqing can be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger, and he also understands Cheng Suqing's heart, and he is happy. As for the two concubines sent by Dong Ping after returning home, they sent someone back. After all, these two women are no better than Zhang Zhenniang, who was trapped in the Taiwei Mansion at the beginning, she has no worries about food and clothing in Dongping Mansion, and she is not an iron-beaten Arhat, a bronze King Kong, and the wives and concubines in the family still can't work hard, where can they still provoke such ** debts.

After all, Ximenqing is different from the lords of the official eunuchs and wealthy families in this era, always thinking that the wives and concubines at home are all wet with rain and dew, and each of them is regarded as a treasure in the palm of his hand, lest he share the thickness of each other and cause a disagreement. Therefore, in the affairs of men and women, I can't help but feel a little tired of coping.

Perhaps because of this, and Ximen Qing just blindly spoiled the women, for fear of restraining everyone, and pondered a lot of leisure and interesting things, the wives and concubines of Ximen Mansion only felt that this day was happy and comfortable, and the back house was a peaceful scene, without the selfishness of some high-walled families.

The preparation for the departure was arranged by the steward of the Fuzhong, and Shi Xiu and Jiao Ting were sent out by Ximen Qingxian to explore the path to Dengzhou. After all, there are now strong people in the Shandong territory, and there are several bandits who occupy the mountain village such as Shuibo Liangshan, not to mention the ordinary hairy thieves and bandits who cut the path.

This trip to Dengzhou, Ximen Qing took a group of family members with him, wives and concubines, maids and stewards and servants, Lala mixed with hundreds of people, naturally it is impossible to go to Tokyo as light and simple as before, and the one-day trip is estimated to be twenty or thirty miles. Even if there are Bian Xiang and other masters to escort them, it is inevitable that there will be some omissions.

Dong Ping's house was unwilling to give up such an opportunity, and the prefect was Ximen Qing's father-in-law, so he privately transferred a hundred Xiang soldiers to escort him, although the combat strength of these Xiang troops was really not very good, but after Ximen Qing should have ten feet and money, they were all competing for the lead.

Just two days before the Ximen Mansion and the people were ready to set off, there were two leaders on Liangshan.

This time it was not the old acquaintances Wu Yong and Ruan Xiaoer who came back, but Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang.

Today's Liangshan is different from the ordinary thief's den, and it can be regarded as a "business life". The three heroes of the Ruan clan were the leaders of the Liangshan Water Army, and now they travel to and from various state capitals in Shandong by water, and it is rare to see them in the cottage on weekdays. As for Wu Yong, he was even more busy with smoke on the soles of his feet.

Imagine that Chao Gai's gang, if they kill people and set fires, rob rich households, they are all good hands. But now Liangshan's main business is trafficking in illicit salt, and the accounts can only fall on Wu Yong alone, and he can't be separated for a while.

Therefore, this time, Chao Gai could only send the two leaders of Gongsun Sheng and Liu Tang to Yanggu County.
