Chapter 45: The Overlord Takes the Bow

This guy is really a big man who can stretch and contract! The obedient official was dumbfounded, and admired Hou Xiaobai, you must know that Miss Yan's sarcastic words about Hou Xiaobai were really very ugly, and if she was a little thinner, she might hang herself with a hemp rope, and Hou Xiaobai's neck shrank and actually endured it, and from time to time she came to disturb the Yan family, which was quite the essence of guerrilla warfare in which the enemy advanced and I retreated, and the enemy retreated and I advanced. According to the analysis of the obedient official, in the next few years, the Miss Yan family is getting older and older, and she is a deep patient of Qiong Yao's disease, and the local people in Ningbo are not afraid of the power of Hou Xiaobai and dare not go to the Yan family to propose, when the time comes, the children of the Yan family branch will make trouble again, you must know that the time to charge one or two times more taxes and silver is short, and if you continue to do it for four or five years for a long time, you will be a businessman who will complain, although the owner of the Yan ship is the head of the family, you must also take into account the interests of the entire Yan family, otherwise for your daughter, The business of the entire Yan family has been hit, and the children of the Yan family will definitely be dissatisfied.

In this way, Miss Yan may not be able to give in, this thing is difficult to say, don't look at Miss Yan now as if she is dragging 2580,000 yuan, she will not be married in a few years or 20, even if you are the first lady in Zhejiang, your reputation will not be good.

For example, people will doubt you, if such a big girl can't get married, is there something wrong with her body! Is it fox smell or dampness? You must know that even if it is Qiong Yao's heroine, few can withstand the worldly gossip. At this time, there are not many entertainment activities, the so-called first lady in Zhejiang, isn't it used to entertain people, the people in the market don't take you to chew your tongue for entertainment, it's just strange.

The owner of the Yan ship looked strange at the obedient official, and he didn't know if his brain was blaspheming his daughter as the first female star in Zhejiang, thinking that he regretted provoking Hou Tiju, and he also felt quite embarrassed, "Virtuous nephew, this is really a fire at the city gate and the pond fish, all blame the old man for not being good, and I hope the virtuous nephew will understand." ”

As he spoke, he gave a deep salute, and the obedient official hurriedly grabbed his arm, joking, how dare he accept this salute, "Uncle Yan is too careful, how can you blame Uncle Yan for this!" It's the little nephew himself who is young and impulsive, and he sees those tax collectors out of filth, so he does it, but it has nothing to do with other things, even if there is some connection, it is the little nephew who is young and vigorous after all, and he deserves this catastrophe. ”

[***] was tightly held by him and couldn't go on, so he had to stand up straight with a wry smile and sigh: "Alas! I also blame me, I spoil Qingwei too much, let her read too many books, her eyes are above the top, if she had allowed someone early, why not. ”

There is a trap in this, and the obedient official will not answer, [***] Seeing that he doesn't squeak, I don't know if he is too young and too light to understand it or pretend not to understand, he sighed in his heart, so he had to change the topic, "Don't talk about this, virtuous nephew, it's about to dock, these ten days of getting along, the virtuous nephew is full of talent, and the old man is overwhelmed by it!" We will definitely benefit you in the future. ”

As soon as the obedient official heard it, the people were old, and the word "please" was said, can they still refuse, and immediately laughed and said: "Uncle Yan praised it falsely, the so-called insight into the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article, Uncle Yan comes and goes, and there are no hills and valleys in his chest, and the little nephew naturally has to visit and ask for advice often, and Uncle Yan will not be too bothered when the time comes." ”

He accidentally said another famous sentence, [***] his eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "A good person who is knowledgeable in the world, and the practice of human feelings is an article." Then he shook his head and sighed, "Oh, good nephew! You're really ...... Surprise the old man everywhere! ”

The expression on the obedient official's face suddenly froze, and he said embarrassedly: "This ...... It's just a clever deal! It should not be praised by Uncle Yan. ”

[***] didn't speak, looking at him like a glutton, looking at a pot of fragrant meat that had been stewed for a long time, the obedient official looked at his expression, and said in his heart Hurry up and flash people first, in case this person opens his mouth to say [virtuous nephew, look at how my daughter is a junior holding gold bricks!] That's a problem.

So he hurriedly arched his hand and said to [***]: "The little nephew has to go back to the cabin to pack his luggage, and when he settles down in Ningbo, he will definitely come to visit." After saying that, he glanced at the big head and prepared to slip away.

"Hey! Virtuous nephew. [***] grabbed him and startled him, and said that he wouldn't really want to speak!

[***] grabbed his arm and said: "The virtuous nephew went south to join his relatives, and there must be no place to stay, I have a house, not far from the Ningbo wharf, only two miles away, the yard has three before and after, although I dare not say that there are four times without thanksgiving flowers, eight sections of evergreen grass, but also repaired with great taste, not the old man boasts, will not fall into the name of the virtuous nephew and great talent......

it, this is going to send the house? Where did the obedient official dare to agree, there would be no pie in the sky, so he quickly shook his hands and excused himself: "Uncle Yan, the teacher once said that there is no merit and no merit......"

[***] looked at him fixedly, and said slowly: "The old man didn't give it to you, but sold it to you, four hundred taels of silver." ”

When the good official hears it, sell? Well! This seems to be okay, after all, my aunt has been in Ningbo for many years, and the conditions at home are not very clear. What's more, Uncle Shan said that his uncle-in-law is not very easy to get along with, and if he looks down on his father, he will also bring some tongue to his aunt, which seems to be inappropriate, if there is a house, it can be regarded as a place to settle down, but four hundred taels ......

Thinking of this, he said to [***]: "Uncle Yan, let me go back and discuss with my father, after all, four hundred taels is not a small amount." ”

Yan Dazhang nodded, and the obedient official was about to turn back, but was dragged by the owner of the Yan ship again, "Also, Xiaoqian's little girl, I'll give it to you, don't shirk the virtuous nephew, let the virtuous nephew cause so much trouble as soon as he arrives in Ningbo, the old man is ashamed, if the virtuous nephew doesn't accept it, the old man can't let you go no matter what......"

The good official was a little crying and laughing by him, this feeling is the overlord's hard bow, think about it, if you really buy the house as the owner of Yan said, I am afraid that when the time comes, the bigfoot woman who will clean up and cook will also have to buy two or three, and there is a Xiaoqian who will be able to manage things at that time. So he nodded, "The elder doesn't dare to resign, thank you uncle." ”

Yan Dazhang let go of his hand and watched the good official and the big head enter the cabin, at this time the old housekeeper Yan Gan hurriedly came over and said, "Master, the young lady saw that Hou Tiju came again, and he lost his temper in the cabin, and the glass cup fell a. ”

Frowning, Yan Dazhang sighed, "Alas! It's really a sin, what to do is not good to be the first lady in Zhejiang, how famous is the person, how big the shadow of the tree, is this celebrity so easy to do! Leave her alone. ”

Here the obedient official and the big head returned to the cabin, Xiaoqian was burying her head in cleaning up her things, and she was still crying while cleaning up, and Shan Sinan next to her was still a child, although she didn't want to see Miss Yan, this Xiaoqian sister was okay, so she pursed her lips and said, "Okay, don't cry!" You will be a member of our Zheng family in the future. ”

Xiao Qian raised her head, with a surprise in her eyes that were still choking back to tears, "Really...... It's true? ”

The big head crooked his mouth and snorted, "The elder doesn't dare to resign, this is what the young master of my family said." ”

Xiao Qian suddenly jumped up, and the jingling of Yingluo hanging on her chest sounded for a while, and the big head couldn't help but look sideways, "Sister Xiaoqian, our Zheng family doesn't have so much money, and when the time comes, there will be no new clothes to wear and no gold and silver jewelry to wear, don't complain!" The obedient official didn't speak, just looked at her with a smile, although the Yan family's paperwork had not yet been delivered, but this little girl would be regarded as her own family in the future.

shook hands tightly, raising such a little maid should be a kind of motivation! There is no 100% loyalty in the world, but the price of betrayal is not enough, if the Zheng family is still like before, the servants and slaves have gone and stolen people, then it is no wonder that others.

After all, like Shan Chixia, the main family not only did not leave, but used all their means to make money to support the family, this kind of valuable spirit throughout the ancient and modern times, is also extremely rare, and it is precisely because of the rarity that it is precious.

You should treat it as an uncle for the rest of your life!

He was sighing here, and there was a sound from the hatch on the other side, and Shan Chixia walked over, "Young master, but you're in Ningbo?" I'm about the same as I'm going to get things ready, and my lord just took the medicine, so I'm in good spirits. ”

"Uncle Shan." The obedient official reached out and hugged Shan Chixia, Father Shan was a little puzzled, "Young Master, what's wrong?" ”

"No, Fang just bullied people outside, and then I felt a little cheap when I left my hometown, thinking that Uncle Shan had been away from my hometown for so many years, the good official felt very sorry......"

With a sigh, Shan Chixia touched an inch-long beard under her chin, and then reached out and rubbed it on the head of the good official, "Good official, you want to earn the tears of my old man, but it's a pity that I killed too many widows and Tartars, I'm afraid the gods also think that I killed too much and took away my right to shed tears, so, young master, you can't see it!" ”

The so-called hometown timidity, after a while on the shore, that is the south of the Yangtze River, when tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers were also on the ship in Ningbo, from Tianjin Wei landed on the northern land, since then, guarding the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and went out to fight in the Korean War, until the Battle of Salhu in 1618, the last batch of Zhejiang veterans were all killed under the siege of ten times the strength of the Jurchens.

There are so many Zhejiang soldiers, how many can come back? I'm afraid it's too much to say that there is no one in a hundred, when Shan Chixia was only twenty years old when he joined the army to recruit Japanese invaders, but now he is over forty years old, saying that he doesn't sigh that it's fake, the obedient official clearly saw the water in the corner of Shan Chixia's eyes, and the reason why Shan Chixia's father hid in the cabin and refused to come out is probably also because of this, I am afraid that I can't help it and lose face in front of the juniors.

Of course, how could a good official deliberately expose the old man's vanity! Naturally, he wants to change his way to pat himself on the back, "That's because Uncle Shan is heroic, generous, and righteous, and Bo Yuntian can be called a great Ming beard, as the so-called hero sheds blood without tears......"

Shan Chixia raised her head and laughed, probably even more emotional when she heard that the hero shed blood without tears, so she had to raise her head to cover the splash in the corners of her eyes.

The big head was a little strange, "Dad, why don't you ask the young master if he has suffered a loss?" ”
