Chapter 56: Giving birth to a big fat boy
"Hey, the world is unpredictable these days, and many things are unexpected." Zhang Xuan suddenly sighed and sighed for a long time and said: "Back then, I begged to go to your house and ask you to help me, but I still hold a grudge for this, how do I know that now you and I have become close friends." And Yang Yiqing helped me return to the imperial court back then, and also helped me in the great ceremonial battle to win the victory. Later, I was allowed to enter the cabinet, I was supposed to be a friend, but now I am blocked everywhere, but now I have become an opponent, and no one can say who is a friend and who is an enemy these years. Brother, I'll tell you the truth, with Yang Yiqing here, it's hard for me to take another step. β
Lu Bing's heart moved, he wanted to spend money on what Zhang Xuan did, but Zhang Xuan took the initiative to come to the door, but he still didn't change his face under the joy in his heart and said: "Then how my brother thinks he should act, brother, I will listen to my brother's arrangement." β
"It's okay, it's okay," Zhang Xuan suddenly stopped talking, smiled, but immediately changed a sad face: "Although my brother refuses to be given to you by the Holy Lord, I can see that my brother's promotion is in sight." If I can become the first assistant of the cabinet, our brothers will join forces, and our brothers will be above 10,000 people under one person. It's just that if you want to defeat Yang Yiqing, you need not only our brothers to unite your connections, but also a lot of money to pave the way, otherwise who would dare to attack such a patriarch of several dynasties. Hey, I just don't have money, I'll have money early."
Lu Bing snickered in his heart, but on the surface, he showed a very eager look and said: "Brother, if you become the head of the cabinet, can you really promote my brother, don't ask for anything else." It would be nice to be able to make it easier for me to pay more taxes to the household department in the future. β
"That's natural, the head of the cabinet gives an order to a small household, that's not the same as playing. It's just that you want to be the head of the household, as long as you operate it properly, it's not a dream. Zhang Xuan said, twisting his fingers: "It's a pity that the silver is not in place, and it can't be done." β
At this time, Zhang Xuan was also smiling evilly in his heart, thinking: Lu Bing, I have long wanted to fight Yang Yiqing, but since this matter is also beneficial to you, it can allow you to reduce a large amount of taxes in Shandong. How can this kind of oil and water let you swallow it alone, it's not okay to not let you have some blood, take the money!
Lu Bing was overjoyed and said, "My brother will wait for a while." I'll come when I go. β
Sure enough, it only took a moment for Lu Bing to bring a box, which was filled with one thousand taels of silver two Zhuang tickets, Lu Bing took out a stack and handed it to Zhang Xuan and said, "Brother." Do you see enough of these activities? Zhang Zhang's eyes were almost straight. Even if you embezzle in your life, you can't get so much money, let alone buying people, it's enough to give those officials more than ten years of money. However, after skimming the remaining money in the small box, Zhang Xuan squinted his eyes and said, "Yang Yiqing is kind to me for promotion, this is not good, just because I didn't say it just now." β
Lu Bing seemed to have made up his mind, took out half of the silver ticket from the box and said, "My brother, please smile." β
Zhang Xuan took it. He took the money ticket and fanned it, fiddled with it with his hand, and asked, "Isn't this okay?" β
Lu Bing took out another stack, and Zhang Xuan coughed lightly: "Is this good?" Then he was silent.
Lu Bingyi stomped his foot. Pushing the entire small box in front of Zhang Zhang, Zhang Xuan put all the silver tickets in his hand into the small box, closed the box and said, "Okay, that's all." I'm not for money, but for you, I have something at home, so I'll leave first and wait for my good news. β
Looking at the back of Zhang Xuan leaving, Lu Bing smiled and spit out four words: "It's shameless." β
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Sending Zhang Xuan away, Lu Bing hummed a little song and wandered around the courtyard, next year he will take the martial arts exam, and Lu Bing has no pressure on this. There are few newcomers to participate in the martial arts examination, and most of them are the reinvention of military attachΓ©s, which is nothing more than a chance to fight for fame and find an opportunity to improve, and the participants are not only current military attachΓ©s but also hereditary military attachΓ©s. If Lu Bing fights them, Lu Bing can win with his eyes closed, after all, it is not a level.
Meng Xueqing was dressing up, and was going to go to the street to buy cloth with the wives of the dignitaries and nobles in a while, when she heard someone outside the door humming a little song and pushed open the window to see that it was Lu Bing, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so happy?" β
Lu Bing walked into the house and said with a smile: "I just ran the stupid dog up the wall just now." β
"What stupid dog?" Meng Xueqing was puzzled, Lu Bing told him about Zhang Xuan, Meng Xueqing smiled: "You are so bad, pretending to be a greedy businessman is really like, but then again, can this thing be done?" β
Cheng Cheng put both ends and said, the toad doesn't bite, but he is disgusting. Let Zhang Xuan, the mad dog, bark twice, Zhu Houxi has listened to it for a long time, and naturally he will slowly hate Yang Yiqing, I don't expect to get him at one time, you must know that when Yang Yiqing came out to play politics, I was not born yet. Lu Bing said.
Meng Xueqing shook her head and said: "I don't understand, you are now rebuilding with Zhu Houxi, why don't you let Zhu Houxi directly order Yang Yiqing, but with the help of Zhang Zhang's strength, you also said that Zhang Xuan may not be able to succeed, so won't this money be wasted?" β
Lu Bing said with a smile: "No, no, first of all, the saint still respects Yang Yiqing very much, and directly confronting him is nothing more than injuring the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, which is a loss-making deal." Besides, when we deal with Yang Yiqing, we want to slowly draw out the organization of the Secret Thirteen, and Zhu Houxi and I have brotherhood, don't care what he did before, I can't pit him, this is my fight with Yang Yiqing, and I have to use my own strength. To put it mildly, if I let Zhu Houyu directly punish Yang Yiqing, then Zhu Houyu will feel that I am using him, and then the rift we just repaired will probably break again. This is nothing, and I'm not an official fan, but in this way, without the support of the imperial power, when dealing with the secret thirteen in the future, the situation will not be easy. β
Meng Xueqing nodded and said: "There is some truth in what you say, but Zhang Xuan's attack is also ineffective, and it can only have an impact on Zhu Houxi, and you still use Zhu Houxi's strength now?" β
"That's natural, he's the emperor, and if he doesn't make a decision, I can only do assassination. Assassination is the next step, Yang Yiqing brutalized Old Man Wan and my brother, I want to make him discredited and life is better than death, hehe. Although I used Zhu Houxi's strength, I didn't leak myself, so I waited for the stupid dog to go up the wall, and it all relied on Zhang Zhang, the mad dog, to bark and bark. Besides, Yang Yiqing promoted Zhang Zhang, and then asked Zhang Xuan to bite Yang Yiqing, don't you think it's funny? The standard lures the wolf into the house and lets the tiger return to the mountain. Lu Bingdao.
Meng Xueqing said: "Just for fun, you spend so much silver? It's not worth it. β
Lu Bing waved his hand: "Those are all the banker tickets of the money bank, and they are not real money." β
"Silver tickets can also be exchanged for money." Meng Xueqing was puzzled, but Lu Bing hugged Meng Xueqing's waist, stuck it on Meng Xueqing's hair and kissed it deeply before saying: "My little fool, these money are all money tickets jointly issued by our Yang Family Money Village and Shen Family Money Village, and it is money only when it is exchanged, and it is a piece of waste paper when it is not exchanged." Where did Zhang Xuan spend all this money at once, and if he didn't spend it, he would have to spit it out all the money for me. Besides, I usually sell him antiques and strange things are the people I look for, what price is what, he doesn't understand at all, I want to make old, it's not easy, fool him and don't kill him. I also made those small odd toys, which didn't cost a few bucks. As long as he puts away the calligraphy and painting, I will find someone to replace it with a fake, not to mention that this is also arranged by me, I gave him the money on the front foot, and he still has to spit it out for me on the back foot, maybe he has to paste it upside down, where do you say I spent the money? β
Meng Xueqing turned around, kissed Lu Bing with fragrant lips, and said after a long kiss: "You are getting worse and worse." β
"Men are not bad, women are not loved, but you paint so beautifully, and you make it so fragrant, what are you going to do, I'm a little worried." Lu Bing said, but Meng Xueqing drew a circle on Lu Bing's chest and said, "Are you worried or excited, I feel that you are so ashamed." Besides, it's not for you, I'm going to accompany the wives of those officials to go shopping, they are chattering every day, and the parents are annoyed to death. β
"I thought you were willing to play with them, and besides, don't all women like to go shopping?" Lu Bing laughed. Meng Xueqing took it seriously and said: "Who said, the streets of this capital are not as prosperous as our Dengzhou, I still like to visit our own streets." β
One person walked in quickly, Lu Bing didn't have time to let go of Meng Xueqing, the two of them were still lingering, but when they saw that it was Yang Feiyan who came in, they were a little less embarrassed. Yang Feiyan smiled: "Oh, I'm jealous, what are you two doing." β
"Feiyan, it's not that my sister said you, you are pregnant and about to give birth, why are you still walking like flying." Meng Xueqing said, but Yang Feiyan walked over disapprovingly and grabbed Lu Bing's arm and said, "What do you know, sister, walking like a fly means that you are pregnant with a boy, and it is a girl who is dragging your steps, sister, you should have another one, right?" β
Meng Xueqing's face turned red, and Yang Feiyan smiled: "Talking about it, I'm still blushing, I am still so shy after giving birth to a baby." β
While he was talking, someone was talking outside the door, saying that Qi Jingtong wanted to see him. Lu Bing and his two ladies went to greet him, but saw Qi Jingtong's face flushed and turned around the house. Lu Bing was shocked in his heart, thinking that it was Mrs. Qi who had notified Qi Jing, or that something had happened, so he hurriedly went over and said, "Brother Shixian, why are you so flustered." β
"Raw! Raw! Qi Jingtong put down his maturity and stability, yelled and yelled, and almost jumped up.
"What?" Lu Bing didn't understand for a while, but Qi Jingtong grabbed Lu Bing's arm and shook violently and shouted: "Brother To's auspicious words, your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for me, and the Qi family has a future!" (To be continued......)
