Chapter 5 The Fox Fake Tiger Might
Liu Jun will never be able to let people ride to the neck to, and he can swallow his anger.
When he walked out of the gate of Zhang's house with a large silver ingot of more than three catties in each hand, Liu Jun really felt like he was exhaling and raising his eyebrows. Although bullying an ancient country bully is a bit out of identity, but the road is uneven, and since this butcher hit the muzzle of the gun himself, it is no wonder that he stepped on his feet.
As soon as Liu Jun walked out of the gate of Zhang's house, Liu An, the old servant of the family, immediately greeted him, "Second young master, are you okay?" ”
"What can there be, Master Zhang is still very willing to be reasonable, I told him a few words in the past, and immediately made it clear, you see, the old man of the Zhang family said that he had not killed pigs for a long time, and he was happy to see the pig today, and he had to buy our pig to practice his hands, I originally came to give it to him, but the old man Zhang was very generous, saying that my Zhang family is not bad at all now, and finally forced me to give me a hundred taels of silver, which is considered to be the money to buy pigs. Just now, he wanted to leave me at his house to eat pig-killing rice, so I didn't want to disturb me, so I quit and came back. ”
Liu An listened to Liu Jun's serious nonsense there, crying and laughing, but when he saw that the second young master came back intact, he was relieved for a while, and it could be seen that he was still holding two big silver ingots in his hands, and he was worried for a while. Didn't the young master just hit it directly, and robbed two ingots of silver back, this God.
At the door of Liu's house, the little girl Bao'er was already there looking forward to it. As soon as he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Dad." Bao'er first shouted to Liu An.
This Liu An is really Bao'er's father, said that Bao'er is also the son of the Liu family, Liu An used to be the scholar of his father Liu Xiu, and later became the housekeeper of the Liu family, the porter, the account room, etc., he married Liu Jun's mother's dowry girl, and then gave birth to Bao'er, and a son.
Liu An's wife is still comfortable as a housewife, the son is in charge of the Liu family's land tenant and the coachman, Bao'er is responsible for serving Liu Jun, and when he is not at home, he helps with laundry and tea and so on.
In addition to Liu Anbaoer's family, the Liu family also has two families, a woman cooks in the kitchen, a man does miscellaneous shopping, several children work in Zhuangzi, and the other is a family brought by Liu Zhao's daughter-in-law Mei from home after marriage, and specializes in serving the people in that room.
It is said that the Liu family is not small, and the family has three slaves and more than a dozen subordinates. In addition to Liu Jun's three brothers, there are four sisters, there is also an aunt in addition to his mother, the three brothers are all compatriots of the same mother, two of the four sisters have been married, and there are two boudoirs, but the youngest fourth sister was born to Aunt Zhao.
Entering the house, the Liu family was already all together, including Aunt Zhao and two younger sisters who had never seen her just now. The three members of the family also stood under the porch.
Seeing that Liu Jun came back with all his beards and tails, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Liu Jun put a hundred taels of silver on the table, and said what he had just said to Liu An, Father Liu and Boss Liu both changed color together, "Oh, how can this work, just accept it when you see it, since the Zhang family apologizes, it's okay to drive the pig back, where can I ask for their silver, and I want a hundred taels, how can this work, quickly, send the silver back." ”
"Dad, our pigs have been killed by the Zhang family, this silver is the money from selling pigs, they voluntarily gave it, you see there are handprints." Liu Jun is not greedy for the one hundred taels of silver, but if he returns the silver, he is not admitting to the Zhang family, and the hard work just now will not be in vain.
Besides, Liu Jun was actually cheating on chickens when he was in the Zhang family, and he didn't know the son of Liu Qiao, who was handsome in brocade clothes, let alone a brother. Just now it was just pulling the tiger's skin as a banner, the fox is fake and the tiger is powerful, the most important thing at this time is to hold on, if you go to return the money now, wouldn't it be to let the Zhang family see through.
If his deception is discovered, a local bully like Zhang Butcher will definitely retaliate.
In fact, Liu Jun deliberately used his status as a martial artist to create momentum when he was in Zhang's house, saying that all martial artists were the children of officers and hereditary military attachés in the guard, but in fact, they were just bullying Zhang and butchers without knowledge.
It is true that the martial arts of the local guard centers are mainly based on young military attachés under the age of twenty-five and those children of hereditary military attachés over the age of fifteen, but this is not always the case with martial artists.
Just like the people who can participate in the martial arts examination are not all martial artists, but there are also those who are proficient in the art of war and are outstanding in courage recommended by civil and military officials from all over the world. In fact, the martial artists are not all military attachés and the children of hereditary military attachés.
Before Chongzhen, in addition to the martial arts of the guards, after the fall of Liaodong, all parts of the north began to establish martial arts, no longer limited to the military guards, but the prefectures and counties also set up martial arts, and attached martial arts to Confucianism.
In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the imperial court ordered that all the prefectures, prefectures, and counties in the world should set up martial arts students, and they were taken by the scholars, but at that time, the emphasis was on literature and light on martial arts, and the world did not disdain the selection of martial arts.
However, Wusheng is still equivalent to Xiucai after all, although it is inferior, it is also a way out for many people.
Liu Jun took this path, but he was able to enter martial arts, not by virtue of his identity as an officer and the son of a hereditary military attaché. At this time, there are five qualifications for admission to martial arts.
The first is a young military attache under the age of 25, and the second is the children of hereditary military attachés who have not yet taken up their posts. The third is the military officials, and the rest of the younger brothers and nephews who are over 10 years old will be given up. The fourth is the senior military attache who is over 50 years old, and the fifth is the strictly selected folk martial arts who are outstanding, have real talent and learning, and are aspiring to martial arts scholars.
Among these five types, Liu Jun is the strictly selected folk martial arts scholar who is outstanding and has real talent and aspiration to martial arts. It's just that he didn't enter the martial arts of Fuzhou County, but the martial arts of Huangzhou Wei, so it is a little mysterious.
With his neat ability to beat all the men in the Zhang family just now, it can be seen that Liu Jun is indeed good at martial arts.
In the final analysis, in fact, he was able to be admitted to the martial arts student, which is completely related to the current situation, Liaodong has been defeated for many years, the Qing soldiers continue to invade the pass, and the Central Plains thieves are everywhere, and the imperial court continues to use soldiers, and those outstanding brave young people are urgently needed for the country.
And the vast majority of scholars in the Ming Dynasty are unwilling to be soldiers and military attachés, and the willing ordinary people don't have that ability, so Liu Jun, a talented kid who has read books, and is good at dancing knives and sticks, has real martial arts, and there is no accident that he has become a martial arts student recruited by the imperial court.
It's a pity that a country bully like Zhang Butcher can't figure out these things in the imperial court, and it also makes Yi Feng pull the tiger skin and open a big banner, and the fox fake the tiger is powerful.
Although Liu Jun gave the Liu family a bad breath, this solution made the Liu family worried. A breakfast, also eaten without any atmosphere.
After the meal, Daddy Liu called Liu Jun into the study.
"Tell your dad honestly, what's going on?"
"Actually, dad doesn't need to remember this, the wicked must grind the wicked, I'm just a little trick." Saying that, Liu Jun told the story of the handsome Liu Qiao's tiger skin fox and fake tiger threatening to intimidate Zhang Butcher. "Dad, you don't have to worry, forgive Zhang Butcher doesn't have the courage to go to Liu Jinwu's house to confront this matter."
Hearing that it was such a story, Father Liu sighed and was silent for a long time.
"Actually, there is something I didn't plan to tell your brother, which is also a shame for my ancestors, but now that it's like this, I'll tell you. In fact, our Liu family in Xiwan moved from the Suokou River. ”
Liu Jun was stunned, "Could it be that our Xiwan Liu family is related to the Liu family in Suokouhe?" ”
"Not only have relatives, my father, that is, your grandfather's name is Liu Chengye, and your great-grandfather's name is Liu Shouyou."
"Liu Shouyou? The governor of the Jinyi Guard in the Wanli period? The official to the prince Taifu, the left governor of the Wudu Governor's Mansion, Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the prince Taibao, the military department Shangshu, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, the gift of Shaobao, Liu Shouyou, the son of Liu Tianhe of Zhuang Xiang? Liu Jun asked in surprise.
Daddy Liu nodded.
Liu Jun is really surprised at this time, who is Liu Tianhe, who is Liu Shouyou, who is Liu Qiao, these are all important ministers with the title of palace protection. Especially Liu Tianhe, who has been the biggest official in Macheng so far, is still the secretary of the military department. Up and down Macheng, who doesn't know this Liu Gongbao.
He once patrolled Shaanxi, the general system of three sides, and was called to the military department to supervise the regimental battalion. Since then, his descendants Liu Shouyou, Liu Chengxi, and Liu Qiao have been three generations of hereditary brocade guards, Liu Shouyou and Liu Qiao have been in charge of brocade guards, especially Liu Shouyou, who is in charge of brocade guards with the brother of famous ministers, and is known as Liu Jinwu, the handsome of brocade clothes.
He didn't expect that their Xiwan Liu family was actually a member of the Suokouhe Liu family, one of the four major families in Macheng, and his grandfather was also the son of that Liu Dashuai.
"But why did my grandfather move here back then, and he no longer walked back and forth with the Liu family in Suokouhe all these years?" Liu Jun asked strangely, don't hug such a thick thigh?
There is naturally a reason for this, and the reason is actually very simple, Liu Shouyou was a handsome man in brocade clothes back then, a very upright person, and he strongly supported the reform of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng when he was in office.
And Liu Jun's grandfather was originally a concubine, who was in Beijing with his father at that time, and entered the country to study with his father's shadow, but finally got lost in the golden fan in Kyoto, and followed a group of gentlemen to do a lot of things that damaged the door, and finally Liu Shouyou directly practiced family law, drove out of the house, and even expelled from the family tree.
Liu Chengye was kicked out of his home, and later returned to his hometown in Macheng, moved out of Suokou River, came to settle in this Xiwan, married a wife and had children, decades have passed, Liu Chengye has long since passed away, and his identity has long been unknown. If it weren't for Daddy Liu mentioning it today, Liu Jun would really be the same as other Xiwan people, and he wouldn't know that the Liu family was really a member of the Jinghu Ding clan.
It turned out that he just wanted to borrow a tiger skin to pull the banner and fake the tiger, but he didn't expect that the Liu family was really a nobleman. Liu Jun's mind couldn't help but turn, although it was said that his grandfather was kicked out of the house and removed from the family tree, but after all these years, should he really be like his father, and he would no longer have anything to do with that side.
This is not right, what is the status of the Liu family, let's just say that the contemporary patriarch Liu Qiao is the grandson of Liu Shouyou's brother Liu Shouji, well, he and his father are brothers of the same generation. Originally, the hereditary position of the Liu family's brocade guard was also in Liu Shouyou's branch, and later passed to Liu Shouyou's son Liu Chengxi, but Liu Chengxu did not pass it on to his son, but to his nephew Liu Qiao.
Liu Qiao was in charge of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi at the time of the Apocalypse, but because he did not cooperate with the eunuchs, he was dismissed and went home. After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was soon reinstated, and even more reused, and now he is also a big man in Beijing.
He has such a big man's uncle in brocade clothes, there is no reason to want to fake the tiger, pretending to be a banner, he should go directly to Liu's house in Suokouhe and come to recognize his relatives.
With such thighs, if you don't hold it at this time, when will you stay?
