"The son-in-law has seen his father-in-law, but he didn't know that his father-in-law was coming, so he was disappointed." Lu Haoshan saw Zhao Yuqing and saluted with this lovely father-in-law with a smile.

Zhao Yuqing touched the beard on his chin, and said happily: "Son-in-law is exempt from etiquette, you are now a member of the third grade, I can't afford this ceremony, those vulgar gifts are still exempt." ”

I heard from the next person just now that Zhao Yuqing was yelling and kicking the door in front of the door, as if he was angry, but as soon as he met, he was kind and cordial, standing in front of the door with a smile on his face, how could there be any rough behavior, Lu Haoshan knew that Zhao Yuqing just wanted to get a lottery in front of his subordinates, hinting at his status, he was a military attache of the third grade, and Zhao Yuqing was just a white Jia, in front of outsiders, he naturally had to maintain his majesty.

This old man is kind of cute.

"That's office time, it's the end of the year now, the seal is all sealed, there are no officials and people here, only Weng's son-in-law, father-in-law must not be polite." Lu Haoshan said with a straight face.

For Zhao Yuqing, Lu Haoshan can be said to be full of gratitude, although this old boy is a little "shameless", but under the love of the house and Wu, he can be said to spare no effort to support himself, and he is open to support in terms of manpower and material resources.

Deep down in his heart, Lu Haoshan also regards Zhao Yuqing as his closest elder.

A son-in-law is half a son.

"Dad, you're here." At this time, Zhao Min also rushed out when he heard the news, and when he saw Zhao Yuqing, who was one of the dearest and most important people in the world, he immediately smiled, and that little face was smiling like a flower.

Zhao Yuqing's family is rich, there are several concubines in the family, and there are also golden houses outside. It's a pity that Cai Wang Ding is not prosperous, seeing that he is about to turn over half a hundred years old or only Zhao Min has a daughter, he naturally loves Zhao Min very much, the relationship between father and daughter is very deep, and he didn't expect to see his father suddenly appear during the New Year, Zhao Min is naturally very surprised.

Lu Haoshan led the army out of Sichuan to suppress bandits, Zhao Min, Lin Yuexuan and Li Nian became the backbone, Zhao Min was responsible for finance, intelligence and other work, Lin Yuexuan helped coordinate various relationships, and Li Nian was mainly responsible for implementation. A thousand households under ten hundred households, a lot of things happen every day, busy and busy, and Zhao Yuqing can't leave, twice a year tea and horse trading consumes a lot of his energy, in addition, he has to train the Zhao family's disciples, Lu Haoshan to suppress the bandits to get back the gold and silver goods, but also handed over to Zhao Yuqing to cash out a large number of important materials such as grain and grass.

In this way, although it is not far away. However, he only saw it twice a year, and Zhao Min had the heart to go back to visit his father, but Lu Haoshan came back with the remnants of the army, and he was injured and had to deal with post-war comfort. As soon as this side was dealt with, the holy decree over there arrived again, and he was promoted to the commander of the guard, so he had to hand over and other work. And so it dragged on.

At this moment, seeing his father braving the wind and snow, Zhao Min was excited and distressed.

See daughter. The tiredness on Zhao Yuqing's face was swept away, his old eyes showed a strange light, his gaze became soft, and he said lovingly: "It's so cold, why don't you wear more?" Don't be cold, well, not only is my father here, but your second mother and seventh mother are also here. ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain outside the door was raised, and the two gorgeous women got off the carriage in the Yahuan support, Zhao Min showed excitement when he saw the little face, and called "Erniang" and greeted him with a smile, and soon the three women squeaked and discussed hotly.

Qi Niang?

Lu Haoshan looked at his father-in-law Zhao Yuqing on the side, and then looked at the young and beautiful little beauty who was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with some envy: "Father-in-law is really blessed, the peach blossoms are lucky, a pear tree presses the begonia, and the son-in-law admires." ”

Last year, he still only had six rooms, of course, the main room has been hanging, and there are only five of them who are actually famous, but I didn't expect that as soon as I came back, this old boy accepted a concubine, this Qi Niang was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face and a graceful body, and was a first-class beauty.

Evil, and a scourge of a little beauty.

A tree of pear blossoms pressed begonias sounds very poetic, in fact, it is a poem to describe the old cow eating tender grass, pear blossoms are white, describing the man's white hair, a metaphor for old age, begonias are red, describing the girl's pink scarlet, this is the Song Dynasty Su Dongpo wrote a poem Ni friend Zhang Xian at the age of 80 and accepted an 18-year-old woman as a concubine, interestingly, this can be seen as "old age eats tender grass", can also be seen as praise, old can still be majestic, at least at that time Zhang Xian was not ashamed, but proud of it.

Although Zhao Yuqing is just a businessman, but his knowledge is not low, how can he not know this allusion, if this is from the mouth of others, it may be a compliment, but from the mouth of his son-in-law, it will change the taste, and he will not be angry when he hears the words: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, the old man This is for the blood of our Zhao family, and strive to spread the branches, this is the responsibility of a man." ”

After speaking, Zhao Yuqing said with a straight face: "Virtuous son-in-law, you and Min'er have been married for some days, don't just be busy with official business on weekdays, find more time to love, and spread out for your Lu family. ”

"Father-in-law, do you mean that your son-in-law will take you as an example, take more concubines, cultivate more, and spread the branches and leaves for my Lu family?" Lu Haoshan pretended to suddenly realize.

"No" Zhao Yuqing categorically vetoed: "Young people must not be discouraged by playthings, take advantage of their youth to be studious and progressive, haven't you heard, color is a knife to scrape bones, and besides, you also have two fields at home, and diligent cultivation will always succeed, of course, it is not that you will not be allowed to take a concubine, and Min'er is not a jealous person, but now is not the time." ”

This old boy, engage in double standards, fortunately, Lu Haoshan didn't have the mind to do so, seeing a group of people standing at the door of the thousand households for a long time, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to go in and rest, and asked his subordinates to help carry the luggage, the twenty-ninth appeared here, Zhao Yuqing was naturally ready to accompany his daughter to celebrate the New Year, no, the big box and the small cage, just the luggage used to pull three carriages, in Zhao Yuqing's words, it was to take something that Zhao Min likes to eat.

In the eyes of the rich, this "take a point" is not small, the son-in-law likes to be promoted to the position of commander of the guard, Zhao Yuqing is in a good mood, and he will send a reward to every person, but it is not a copper coin. It is a heavy silver bean, this year the Zhao family made a lot of profits in the tea and horse trade, Zhao Yuqing also made a generous move, so that the subordinates had another generous reward, which made Lu Haoshan cry and laugh that he also received tiger bone wine, deer whips and the like.

Zhao Min took Erniang and Qiniang to visit the Thousand Households, while Lu Haoshan was talking to the old man in the lobby, nothing more than asking about the situation on the road and the recent situation of each other. Zhao Yuqing picked some festive words to say, and the two got along very well.

"Virtuous son-in-law, you are the commander of Lizhou Wei, why do you still live in a thousand households?" Zhao Yuqing suddenly asked.

"The decree was issued before the Chinese New Year, to appease the dead and wounded soldiers, and to hand over a lot of work, and it was impossible to move for a while, and the former commander of the guard was gone, but some of his family members still lived in the guard. You can't drive them away, father-in-law, you also know, that Dong Jian is the brother-in-law of the commander, can I drive him? There's no urgency. I have the emperor's decree in my hand, and I am not afraid of his tricks. ”

Zhao Yuqing nodded and said, "That's right, this matter is not urgent, so as not to leave a bad impression." By the way, the previous boss was transferred, so Cheng Yi was indispensable. Be more affectionate, and move around in the future. ”

"Cheng Yi?" Lu Haoshan said with some disdain: "This Dong Jian's hand is stretched long enough, it's not bad if I don't trouble him, and then give him silver, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it." ”

"Hey, virtuous son-in-law, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Haoshan first retired his subordinates, and after there were no outsiders, he told all the things in Shanxi, including the interests of the Zhou Wei who could not be moved, anyway, Zhao Yuqing was not an outsider, and these things let him know, maybe he could give himself some useful advice.

After hearing what Lu Haoshan said, Zhao Yuqing was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a stern face: "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man asks you, what do you want to do?" ”

"What do you mean by that, father-in-law?" Lu Haoshan's heart moved, but he pretended to be surprised and said.

Zhao Yuqing stared at Lu Haoshan and said: "When I was in Jiangyou, the old man felt that you were not doing your job, a seven-grade county order, a civil official, but keen on military training, at that time your statement was to protect yourself in troubled times, and at that time it also faintly revealed a trace of self-respect, but at that time, the old man did not delve into it, and you did not explain in detail, but now it is different, you are willing to agree to Dong Jian's conditions, and his ambition will definitely not be small, you explained to Han Wendeng that it was to protect the tea and horse trade." ”

"Hehe, it's okay for you to deceive outsiders, but these transactions are taken care of by the old man himself, no one knows better than me, in addition to the tea is a bit risky, but from Sichuan to Wusi Zangdu Division has been unimpeded, as big as the Zitian Pass guard, Sha'er Ke Wanhu Chief, as small as the road wardens, patrol inspections, etc. have been bought by us, although there is danger, but there is absolutely no need to raise so many soldiers and soldiers, that is to throw silver into the bottomless pit, virtuous son-in-law, you just give me the bottom, what are you going to do?"

Jiang is still old and spicy, Lu Haoshan thought that Zhao Yuqing had come to visit his daughter, but now it seems that he wants to find out the answer from his mouth, after all, this matter is too involved, I thought that this old boy had been kept in the dark, but I didn't expect him to be a doorman all the time.

If you are not careful, the nine clans will be implicated.

Lu Haoshan didn't answer immediately, and while playing with the tea cup in his hand, he said with interest: "If the son-in-law is to keep to himself, what should the father-in-law do?" If the son-in-law has an idea, where will the father-in-law go? ”

"If you keep to yourself, the old man has nothing to say, naturally take advantage of the ability now to help you go as far as possible, if you have an idea in your heart" Zhao Yuqing suddenly said with a straight face: "For Min'er, you are all of him, and for the old man, Min'er is all of mine, we can say that one is prosperous, one is lost, as the so-called skin does not have hair, if you want to rebel, the old man has to carry a knife and charge for you." ”

Even the words of rebellion were spoken, this old boy can be regarded as self-conscious, Lu Haoshan was deeply moved, thinking that although this old boy is lustful, but he really has a bit of responsibility, for other people, it is estimated that when he heard the rebellion, he was so frightened that his lips were white, but when Zhao Yuqing said the back, a ruthless color appeared on his face, and his courage was different from ordinary people.

It's easy to understand if you think about this, the Zhao family is also relying on tea and horse trading to make a fortune, and they still go to private tea, which is a felony in the Ming Dynasty, and if you are not careful, you will be burned, which is a matter that will lose your head at any time, but Zhao Yuqing said that he has been doing it for more than ten years, and he was not driven crazy under such great pressure, and he made a fortune, and he is definitely more courageous than ordinary people.

It can also be said that he is an outlaw, and he even fought for his life for money, but after making a fortune in the later period, Zhao Yuqing became a cultivated "outlaw".

Sitting in the position of the commander of Lizhou Wei, the new musket is being built, recruiting troops and horses has not stopped, even the plan to infiltrate the thirteen families of Yao and Huang is also being implemented, Lu Haoshan nodded secretly: It's time for a showdown with Zhao Yuqing.

Others can't believe it, but this old boy has absolutely no problem. (To be continued......)
