Chapter 156: The Transformation of Hujiazhuang
"Daddy!"
Hu Taigong watched Hu Sanniang, who was dressed in a strong suit, walk in, nodded and said, "Well, you can sit down." ”
Hu Sanniang sat down and said a little strangely: "Dad, what do you have to tell me?" ”
Hu Taigong looked at Hu Sanniang and sighed, and said, "Back then, my father was confused, and he rejected King Shi's proposal to marry, and it also delayed your marriage. ”
The year before last, after Hu Taigong rejected Shi Jin's proposal, he was also afraid that Hu Sanniang would be in trouble again. made people talk about a few family matters, but Hu Sanniang was not satisfied. Hu Taigong couldn't resist Hu Sanniang, and Hu Sanniang has been delayed until now.
Hu Sanniang thought that Mrs. Hu was going to tell her something about her family, so she hurriedly said: "Maybe my Hongluan Star hasn't moved yet, dad doesn't have to worry, otherwise she will marry the wrong person, and her daughter will not be happy in her life." ”
Hu Taigong smiled: "Then let you marry King Shi, are you willing?" ”
Hu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then blurted out and asked, "Dad is it true?" ”
Hu Taigong nodded and said, "En." ”
Seeing her father's confirmation, Hu Sanniang's face couldn't help but float two red clouds, and she asked shyly and happily, "Why did Dad agree?" ”
Hu Taigong said: "In the past, I was afraid that marrying King Shi would hurt my Hu family. But now it seems that King Shi is the hero of the world, and he knows how to advance and retreat better than us. If I had promised him, you would have been his wife. ”
Speaking of which, Hu Taigong was also full of regrets.
Shi Jin got married, and rewarded Liangshan up and down.
gave birth to a child last year, and in addition to rewarding the three armies, Jeju was exempted from paying taxes for one year, so that the army and the people under Yangsan could enjoy together.
These things are circulating in the rivers and lakes.
When Hu Sanniang heard that Shi Jin was married, she was also secretly sad for a while. Hearing this, he smiled bitterly: "This may be fate." ”
Hu Taigong nodded and said, "But it may not be a blessing to be a main house with your temperament." At present, millions of Manichaean believers in Jiangnan are revolting, Tianhu in Hedong and Wang Qing in Huaixi are making trouble again, and there are nine thieves such as Cai Jing and Gao Yu in the court. The world is going to be chaotic. King Shi is known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, exempt from taxes and division of land, which has attracted the praise of the people from all over the world, and the soldiers and horses of Liangshan have defeated hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court before and after. His future is limitless, and his main house is not so easy to do. ”
Hu Sanniang also understood what her father meant when she said that the future is limitless, but ordinary people don't dare to say that kind of rebellious words.
Hu Sanniang admired Shi Jin from the bottom of her heart, and she also fantasized about marrying Shi Jin as his wife. But I really didn't think that Shi Jin would be able to be the Ninety-Five Honor one day.
Hu Taigong saw that Hu Sanniang didn't speak, and said: "A few days ago, Liangshan hit Tai'an Prefecture. I'm afraid it won't be long before I come to Dongping Mansion. At that time, our family's land will also be distributed to the villagers, and if someone falsely accuses our family, our family will not be in great trouble. So I want your brother to go to Jeju and give some money to King Shi. Show our hearts. Good luck. Maybe get your brother an errand. By the way, mention your matter, if King Shi hasn't forgotten you, he will also forget your wish. ”
Maybe Mrs. Hu still has the idea of using her to change her brother's errand.
But Hu Sanniang didn't blame her father, she was already much happier than many women, and her father didn't force her to learn from those female celebrities, but let her ride a horse and dance with a knife. It's just that she is thinking about her brother and the Hu family in marriage, compared to other women who can't be masters at all, she is already too happy.
Hu Sanniang nodded shyly and said, "I listen to my father." ”
Hu Taigong is still a little afraid that Hu Sanniang is unwilling to be small. Seeing that Hu Sanniang agreed, he asked Hu Sanniang to go back. He called Hu Cheng again and commanded for a while.
Hu Cheng packed a few loads of gifts.
Early the next morning, a few henchmen were picked up at the bottom of the mountain and loaded onto a small boat.
Hu Cheng took a few people to take a boat along Jishui into Liangshan Shuibo, and then came to Jeju.
From time to time, the Liangshan army patrolling the water can be seen in the water, but the Liangshan water army does not intercept passing ships.
It is precisely because of the patrol posts of the Liangshan Water Army that peace was gained in the water pool, and no one dared to steal in the water pool again.
In the evening, Hu Cheng and his entourage docked at the Lijia Road crossing and rested on the boat for the night.
The Yangsan army is stationed outside Jeju City, but the navy is still in Liangshan Shan Village, and the Yangsan Hotel at the Lijia Road Crossing is still open, but it is not Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang who are the leaders.
At the foot of Liangshan, although everyone guarded a boatload of belongings, they slept very peacefully.
Early the next morning, I rushed to Jeju by boat.
In the afternoon, the boat arrived near Jeju.
Leaving two people to guard the boat, Hu Cheng took three farmers to Jeju City with their belongings.
In the middle of the city, the three streets and six cities have already restored their prosperous scene.
This qiē benefited from Shi Jin's policy of exempting taxes and dividing land, and when the people had money in their hands, commerce naturally developed.
Seeing that the empty city that had just been slaughtered by Gao Yu last year had become more prosperous than Dongping Mansion, Hu Cheng felt that this trip was the right one.
Hu Cheng didn't go directly to Shi Jin, the matter of offering money is easy to say, but if he wants to marry his sister to Shi Jin, someone needs to say something, under the guidance of Hu Taigong, he came to Zhu Gui first after entering the city.
Zhu Gui was in charge of the Intelligence Department, and he was also one of the few leaders in the city, and after a little inquiry, Hu Cheng asked where Zhu Gui lived.
Hu Cheng arrived at Zhu Gui's residence, and Zhu Gui, who asked, sat on duty in the Intelligence Department, and led Zhuang Hu to the Intelligence Department.
With the support of Shi Jin, Zhu Gui's men and horses were expanded a lot, and the Intelligence Department was established, and the Military and Political Division, the Money and Food Department were established together with the Liangshan Three Divisions.
Shi Jin did not rebuild Jeju on a large scale, and the third division only chose three large houses for office.
Outside the Intelligence Division, four men in black clothes with knives were guarding.
Hu Cheng didn't dare to trespass, so he let the three villagers wait, and he came up and said: "Please inform the eldest brother of Zhu Gui, and say that the old man in Dulonggang wants to see him." ”
The soldier on duty at the door heard that it was Zhu Gui's leader and the deceased, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he nodded and said, "You wait a minute, I'll go and report." ”
"Thank you, big brother."
Hu Cheng arched his hands, and retreated to the side with the three villagers to wait.
Zhu Gui was checking the information coming back from all over the country, and when he heard that an old man on Dulonggang asked to see him, he asked someone to bring him in.
There are three Zhuangzi on Dulonggang, and Zhujiazhuang has long been destroyed. The rest of Li Jiazhuang and Hujiazhuang are Li Jiazhuang, and those who have some friendship with Liangshan are Li Jiazhuang.
When Zhu Gui was still thinking about why the people from Lijiazhuang came, he saw that it was Hu Cheng who came in. I was also stunned for a moment.
When he was fighting Zhujiazhuang, he went to Hujiazhuang to persuade him to surrender, and Hu Cheng took people to the camp to offer gifts. Later, he proposed marriage for Shi Jin, and after Hujiazhuang refused, Hu Cheng brought some gifts to apologize.
After all, he and Hu Cheng also have several faces, so Hu Cheng came in. And he recognized it.
Hu Cheng was afraid that Zhu Gui wouldn't remember him, so he arched his hand when he came in and said, "The villain Hu family Zhuang Hucheng has seen Leader Zhu." ”
Zhu Gui returned the salute and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time." How did you get to Jeju? ”
Hu Chengdao: "Don't hide it from Leader Zhu, the world is about to be chaotic, and King Shi has done a great job, so the villain prepared 30,000 yuan to dedicate to the king." Help the king recruit troops. If only the king could take a fancy to the villain. It's also good to let the villain lead the horse and fall. ”
Zhu Gui said with a smile: "I remember that Hu Sanniang was full of martial arts back then, and your martial arts are not bad if you want to come, and it is not difficult to find an errand." But this offering of money and food was exempted, and the elder brother had an order not to accept money and goods from the people, lest the soldiers below extort the people. If you bring money with you, you have to bring it back. ”
Hu Cheng heard the words and said: "The villain is sincerely dedicated to King Shi. There was no one to coerce, and he asked Leader Zhu to tell him a word or two. ”
Zhu Gui shook his head and said: "Count it as Hujiazhuang and Shanzhai also have some friendship. If you give whatever you want, you will have some produce. My brother can accept it, but 30,000 yuan is too much. ”
Hu Cheng saw Zhu Gui say this, so he had no choice but to give up, and arched his hand and said: "There is one more thing, please ask Zhu to lead Yucheng." ”
Zhu Gui smiled: "You can tell me." ”
Hu Chengdao: "Back then, my father rejected King Shi's proposal, and I didn't want my little sister to have King Shi in her heart. In the past two years, my father told her a few family affairs, but she was unwilling to do so, and she has been staying in the boudoir. If King Shi can still take a fancy to the little sister, my father is willing to give the little sister to the king, so as not to miss her life. ”
Zhu Gui was also a little surprised when he heard that Hu Sanniang had been in the boudoir, and thought about it: "My brother was able to take a fancy to your sister back then, but now he and his wife are very affectionate, and he has never taken a concubine, but this matter is not easy to say." ”
When Hu Cheng heard this, he said: "The little sister only has the king in her heart, so she has always refused to marry, if there is no one to pull the strings, I am afraid that she will miss her life for life." I also asked the leader of Zhu to say that if he could do this, the Hu family would not dare to forget the great grace of the leader. ”
Zhu Gui thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will let someone take you to my house to rest." I'll go see my brother now, and if I do, I'll be able to give you news today. ”
Hu Cheng hurriedly said: "Then it's disturbing, the villain also has some gifts to give to Leader Zhu." ”
Zhu Gui smiled: "If it's valuable, you must not harm me." My cottage is different from the Song Dynasty, and the leaders have happy events and are all congratulatory gifts from the cottage, and they can't give each other away. ”
Hu Chengdao: "I don't want King Shi to be so disciplined, the people are blessed." ”
Zhu Gui said a few more words to Hu Cheng, and then asked a personal leader Hu Cheng to go back to the house to rest, and he came from Shi Jin's mansion.
Shi Jin was watching the children in the back house, and when he heard Zhu Gui ask to see him, he came to the front hall.
Zhu Gui saw the salute and said, "Brother, do you still remember Hu Sanniang in Hujiazhuang?" ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Remember, what?" What happened to Hujiazhuang? ”
Zhu Gui said with a smile: "No, just now Hujiazhuang Hucheng came to see me, saying that after my brother and Hu Sanniang fought in Zhujiazhuang, Hu Sanniang remembered my brother." Let's go back from Zengtou City and pass by Dulonggang, and Hu Sanniang also went to see my brother. Later, my brother asked me to propose marriage, but Mrs. Hu refused my brother. I don't want Hu Sanniang to have only my brother in my heart, except for my brother, I refuse to marry, and I have been in the boudoir. Now that Hu Taigong sees that his brother has the momentum to dominate the world, he wants to take advantage of his daughter's wishes and specially ask Hu Cheng to see me to talk about this matter. I don't know what my brother thinks? ”
Shi Jin didn't expect Hu Sanniang to never get married, so he was stunned when he heard this, and said: "My wife and I have a good relationship, and I have no intention of marrying again, you can let Hu Cheng Haosheng persuade Hu Sanniang to marry another person." ”
Zhu Gui shook his head and said: "That Hu Sanniang is not a brother who does not marry, if it is easy to persuade, after we destroy Zhujiazhuang, she will marry as a wife early." Sooner or later, my brother will be in a yellow robe, and when the time comes, not to mention the three thousand beauties in the harem, there will be no concubines. That Hu Sanniang is interested in her brother, and her brother can also look at her, so why refuse her. ”
Shi Jin is not a pedantic person, and said with a smile: "I don't want you to have the ability to be a matchmaker, I was moved by what you said, but now is the time for many things, let's marry her again later." (To be continued......)
