Chapter 161: Mending the Relationship

Seeing that Qin Liangyu had cleanly disposed of those routs, the steward who was kneeling on the ground kowtowed to Qin Liangyu again and again, and thanked: "Thank you for the great kindness of the general, all the lives of the villain Zhuangzi were saved by the general." ……”

Just when the steward was chattering and saying words of thanks, a female guard of Qin Liangyu had already learned the identity of the steward from the Qianhu who led the team just now.

The female escort came to Qin Liangyu's side and said in her ear: "Dashuai, this Zhuangzi belongs to the Yangwu Marquis's family, and there are more than 600 stones of grain in it. ”

Qin Liangyu smiled slightly after hearing this. She has been fighting horses for most of her life, and of course she is not a good man or woman. So Qin Liangyu said to the steward with a pleasant face: "You get up." It is the duty of the officers and soldiers to protect the good and eliminate the evil. But now, in order to go to the emperor to escort him, the official lacks some grain and grass here. So be it, leave you with thirty percent. I would like to thank this gentleman for his loyalty and patriotism. ”

Listening to Qin Liangyu's words, the steward who had just gotten up from the ground was immediately stunned. These officers and soldiers saved their Zhuangzi, and the steward was also mentally prepared to donate some grain and grass to these officers and soldiers. But he never expected that the female general who led this official army had such a big appetite.

The village managed by this steward is not large, only more than 100 acres of land. Moreover, the location of this Zhuangzi is also relatively remote. Because of this, the grain collected in this village has not been transported to the main family in the capital for several years, so more than 600 stone of grain has been accumulated.

When the Tartars entered the customs, because this Zhuangzi was relatively remote, when they got the news, the nearby cities were closed, and no one from outside the city was allowed to enter. In desperation, the steward had no choice but to take Zhuang Ding to resign himself to fate in this Zhuangzi. Because in the middle of nowhere, it's even less safe.

Fortunately, it was also because this Zhuangzi was relatively remote, so the Tartar army did not come. But unexpectedly, the Tartars did not come, and the rout of their Ming Dynasty turned upside down.

Fortunately, there were only forty or fifty of those routs, and the steward gathered all the Zhuang Ding in the Zhuangzi, and the nearby people who did not have time to enter the city and took refuge in this Zhuangzi, a total of more than 100 young men were drawn out, relying on the protection of the Zhuangzi wall, and confronted those routed soldiers.

Later, it happened that they were discovered by Qin Liangyu's spies, and then Qin Liangyu sent white pole soldiers to rescue them and so on. This steward followed the white pole soldiers to Qin Liangyu's big tent, and he was ready in his heart to donate one or two hundred stone of grain to these officials and soldiers who saved their Zhuangzi.

But I didn't expect Qin Liangyu to come and open his mouth, and he wanted to take more than 400 stones of grain at once, didn't this cost the old life of this steward. When the chief housekeeper and grandmother of the main family know about it, don't you want to kill him?

So the steward immediately begged Qin Liangyu for mercy, hoping to donate less food to Qin Liangyu. But how could Qin Liangyu ignore him, even the thousand households who received Qin Liangyu's order also turned around and went out of the big tent to prepare a cart to move grain.

Seeing that the thousand households were about to leave the big tent, the steward hurriedly grabbed him and pleaded with the people in the big tent to ask who could help talk to Qin Liangyu.

Wu Shigong was also asked by the steward. But Wu Shigong ignored him either, thinking: "You deserve to be unlucky!" Then the people in the tent saw that nothing had happened, and they all left the tent. And tired of the steward's plea, Qin Liangyu also drove the steward out of the big tent.

After leaving the big tent, the steward still begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and suddenly, he saw Shumo who followed Wu Shigong, and he immediately rushed to Shumo and said with a cry: "Shuye! Is it really you? Go to the general and beg for mercy, they want to move the grain from our house! ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Wu Shigong immediately turned around, isn't this Shumo's mansion Wu Shigong's own mansion? Could it be that this Zhuangzi belongs to his own family?

Seeing that Wu Shigong had seen it, Shumo hurriedly introduced to the steward: "This is our uncle of the Xue Mansion, what do you have to say to your uncle." ”

The steward found the organization all of a sudden, and he rushed to Wu Shigong again, knelt down with a "plop", and cried to Wu Shigong with a handful of snot and tears.

In the words of the steward's upside-down crying, Wu Shigong finally understood that this Zhuangzi was really from Xuefu. To be exact, it should be Wu Shigong's own, the Zhuangzi he used as a "dowry" at that time.

And because the steward has a relatively low status in the Xue Mansion and lives in this remote Zhuangzi, he only goes to the Xue Mansion in the capital a few times a year, so he doesn't know Wu Shigong, the uncle, but knows Shumo who is often in the Xue Mansion.

After Wu Shigong heard the steward's cry, he thought to himself, "Hey! How did I deserve to be unlucky? Without further ado, Wu Shigong hurriedly went back to Qin Liangyu's big tent to plead with her. Wu Shigong did not have such a high consciousness, and used his own food to supply the imperial army.

Seeing Wu Shigong's return, Qin Liangyu was a little strange. Wu Shigong came to Qin Liangyu with a hippie smile and said, "Chief Qin, I ask you for one thing. This Zhuangzi is mine, please hold up your noble hands and don't move their grain. ”

After listening to Wu Shigong's words, Qin Liangyu said to Wu Shigong with a smile: "Oh? It turned out to be Wu Qianhu's Zhuangzi? Then who is Wu Qianhu from the Yangwu Hou family? ”

"Hey, hey! is the son-in-law of Xue Fu. ”

"Long admiration! Look up for a long time! I can't see it, it turns out that Wu Qianhu is the son-in-law of Hou Ye Xue, the father of the little Hou Ye! "Although Qin Liangyu has been in the Sichuan Stone Pillar, she still knows a lot about the situation of the noble family in the imperial court. Otherwise, she would not have known that this Zhuangzi was the family of the Marquis of Yangwu, who had lost power, before she ordered the grain in the Zhuangzi to be moved.

Back then, the Yangwu Marquis Xue Mansion recruited a son-in-law, but it was a big lace news that caused a sensation in the Ming Dynasty. How could Qin Liangyu not know about this? Of course, she didn't bother to know what the name of this son-in-law was. However, when Wu Shigong admitted that he was the son-in-law of the Marquis of Yangwu, Qin Liangyu immediately knew Wu Shigong's identity.

However, a few days ago, Wu Shigong's "old woman" hurt Qin Liangyu's soul a lot, and after that, Wu Shigong dared not admit his mistake and had a cold war with Qin Liangyu. Although Qin Liangyu's strength is still relatively large, with such a good opportunity now, how could she not seize it and sneer at Wu Shigong?

Under the eaves, Wu Shigong had no choice but to laugh a few times, and laughed at himself: "You are a kid." They all call me the middle marquis. ”

Wu Shigong's words caused a coquettish laugh from Qin Liangyu and those female guards in the big tent. But Qin Liangyu still refused to let go of Wu Shigong: "Since the Zhuangzi is yours, then you should take out the grain!" Is it only natural that your food supplies your own army? ”

"Don't!" Wu Shigong hurriedly stopped Qin Liangyu's words, "I have already given this Zhuangzi to my son." This kid is bitter! Ever since he was a child, his father was not by his side. As a father, I can only give him a Zhuangzi to make ends meet. You're that kid's grandmother! Seeing that you are so kind-hearted, can you bear to let your little grandson have patches on his body in the future? ”

Wu Shigong's words made Qin Liangyu and the others laugh even more happily. While laughing, Qin Liangyu continued to tease Wu Shigong: "Phew! The old man doesn't dare to have such a grandson, he still calls the old woman an old woman! Besides, the Yangwu Hou family has a big business, and they still care about the grain of these hundreds of stones? ”

"Isn't this a kid's mouth. In my heart, I have always regarded you as my own mother! Wu Shigong is more and more shameless the more he talks.

Wu Shigong's words caused another burst of coquettish laughter. Qin Liangyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "This old body can't afford it. Look at your flamboyant stinginess. Well, let's take fifty percent of the grain. ”

Wu Shigong thought for a while, and had no choice but to nod helplessly. In fact, the grain that Qin Liangyu took was not much, that is, it was worth two or three hundred taels of silver. Wu Shigong felt that it was not worth haggling with Qin Liangyu for something that was worth so little. However, by playing the clown during this conversation, Wu Shigong achieved the goal of making up for the relationship with Qin Liangyu.

However, Wu Shigong's heart was still a little unhappy. Did his own private food just give it to the court in vain? Wu Shigong's psychology is like that of a modern white-collar worker with an income of tens of thousands of yuan a month, who is not happy that the company does not reimburse him for a ticket of ten yuan.

Wu Shigong couldn't help but say to Qin Liangyu: "You are all soldiers, and you all have military salaries issued by the imperial court. How can you take such a small amount of food as me? ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong's words provoked Qin Liangyu's heart. She put away her smile, looked blank, and said, "What kind of soldier?" What kind of salary? The sons and daughters have never received more than 30% of their military salaries. A few years ago, in the rebellion of Lu'an, the sons and daughters fought to the death, but the rewards for their military exploits were insufficient, and they were all made up by their old bodies. It was King Qin this time, and it was also the military salary that the old man had collected from his family property. Alas! Do not say! Do not say! ”

Wu Shigong looked at the wrinkles on the corners of Qin Liangyu's eyes, and also felt a little sad for Qin Liangyu. His heart softened and said, "It's all difficult! It's hard! Forget it, take as much food as you want! Alas! ”

Qin Liangyu looked at Wu Shigong, a smile appeared on her face, and she said, "I've known you kid for so long, and it's finally the first time I've looked at you kid, and I think it's pleasing to the eye!" ”
