"Hey, isn't this Boss He?"

"That's right, it's really Boss He, didn't you say that you sent your sister to marry?"

"It's not like it's a drop, it's been half a year, and this person has come back, isn't it that Lao He's family has been deceived?"

"Maybe He Chu was also deceived by others to be a turtle man, but I can't say, otherwise how would he come back?"

"Hey, Boss He, where is your sister-in-law?"

"That's right, Boss He, what about your sister-in-law, why did you come back alone?"

He Chu sat in the carriage, the carriage was still the carriage that carried his sister and sister-in-law to the capital, and now, he drove it back again.

Compared with half a year ago, the carriage is a little broken and old, but this horse is fat.

Now I am about to enter the city and prepare to go home, and the city gate is about to be checked, and there is another caravan ahead, so I have to wait for a while.

I heard someone laughing at himself,

He Chu was not angry, nor was he publicized,

It's just that I didn't hear the sarcasm in these people's words,

Smiled and nodded,

Road:

"Ang, I'm back."

Seeing Boss He's posture, those individuals were embarrassed to say anything, but they just bowed their hands and greeted again, and then entered the city.

They are also some hawkers in the city, small shops, pouring some things, when He Chu went to the countryside to collect pigs, he would often follow them all the way, after all, there is no deep hatred.

The caravan was slow to enter the city, because the goods had to be counted and taxes were collected, and the tax collector and his gang of tax collectors inspected them very carefully.

Earlier, in fact, there was no such strictness, and even, there was no special tax collector of this kind, who was only sent from Yanjing in the past few months.

After the delivery of the caravan in front of him, He Chu drove the carriage over, but there was no goods in the carriage, so he was directly released.

The He family's pork shop is still there.

Because it was noon, the sun was poisoning, Lao He Tou simply closed the stall and sat in the house, shirtless, holding a pu fan in one hand and a large watermelon in the other.

Why don't you sit outside and eat watermelon?

I was afraid that the children passing by in the neighborhood would see it, and I was reluctant to score it out plainly.

He Chu came back with the carriage, and when the old man heard the movement, he hurriedly dropped the melon, pushed the door open, and ran out.

"Son!"

"Daddy!"

He Chu ran to his father,

Unexpectedly, his father suddenly used the pig-killing knife,

He Chu screamed in fright, and hurriedly stopped his feet, because of the confiscation, the two of them collided together.

"Bang!"

"Ouch."

"Dad, are you alright?"

"You are an unfilial son, an unfilial son!"

Lao He Tou fell, twisted his waist, and was carried into the house by He Chu, wanting to place him on the bed, but Lao He Tou refused, and he still sat on the bench stiffly.

This is a father, when facing his son, the most powerless time is actually when he is lying in bed and looking at his son.

Therefore, in Lao Hetou's opinion, as long as he still has a breath, he must not lie on the bed and talk to his son!

"Bastard!"

"Dad, it's okay for you to scold me, I'm your son, it's natural for you to scold me, but don't scold yourself."

"........." old He Tou.

He Chu stretched out his hand, took the watermelon that his father had eaten half before, brought it to his mouth, and continued to gnaw.

Old He Tou was smooth,

Asked:

"What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on, do you know, your father and I almost had to close this shop several times and go to the capital to find your brothers and sisters in person!"

"Didn't you write to your father?"

"Bastard!"

"Daddy."

"You write this well, that well, you eat well, sleep well, your sister eats well, sleeps well, what really works, you don't say a single fart!"

Obviously, his daughter followed her son-in-law to her mother-in-law's house,

Who called the two families far apart?

His daughter was stunned and gave her body out first,

I can only bow my head first and let my daughter follow me to my mother-in-law's house to have a look, what next? What's next? What's next?

It's been half a year,

Except for a few letters that came and said that it was good,

But what about the process below?

He Chu hesitated,

Look at your own dad.

"What are you frowning about?"

"I didn't, Daddy."

"Let me ask you, what are the conditions of your brother-in-law's family?"

"Okay."

Good in one word.

Lao He pointed to his face,

Asked:

"Better than ours?"

A pork shop, don't look down, but the income is not low, and Lao He Tou has secretly purchased some land over the years.

He Chu blinked.

Seeing this, Old He Tou,

Relax your mind,

Snorted coldly and said:

"Oh, don't think that living in the capital is a rich and noble family, although your father and I have never been to the capital, but we also know the truth that it is not easy to live in a big place, the people in the capital are noble in front of the people, but eating and drinking Lazar are all fucking expensive, maybe how much is a swollen face and fat people are poor there!"

"Brother-in-law's family, it's really not that you're poor."

"Isn't it poor? Hehe, you're still not old enough, you haven't seen enough people and things, you can't be fooled by appearances. ”

"Dad, don't say it, at the beginning, my son was really bluffed."

It's not like that,

The first time I saw the great eunuch in the palace,

For the first time, I saw the great eunuch in the palace kneeling in front of his brother-in-law,

Seeing the palace for the first time,

After that day,

He Chu was in a state of confusion for ten days, as if he was in a dream.

"Oh, let's say it, let's do it, after all, it's a small family, and what we pay attention to is the rules and regulations for living a life, besides, that head catcher, no, that little sixth.

Little six and little six, do you know, is he the sixth in the family? ”

He Chu heard this and nodded.

"Does he have five older brothers?"

He Chu continued to nod.

"Is there a brother down there?"

"Yes."

"Sister, how?"

He Chu shook his head.

"No girls?"

"Like, no."

"That's right!"

Lao He slapped his thigh violently, pulling the old waist, and immediately gasped.

"Dad, Dad, slow down, slow down, you are, you know?"

"Nonsense, I guessed it!"

"Dad, you really guessed it!"

"Nonsense, I'm your father! There are so many brothers in his family, how much is left after the family property is divided into his little six sons? I haven't had a sister yet, and I don't have a place to collect a dowry! ”

"........." He Chu.

"So, you have to calm down, remember, your sister is not Gao Pan, our old He family, and we never want to sell our daughter to Gao Pan!"

"Gao Pan?"

"What's going on? Do we have no hands or feet, and we can still starve to death? Now that I heard that there is no war, this day will definitely be better than before.

You tell me in detail, what do you say about this marriage, have you seen the old man in their family? ”

He Chu shook his head.

"Didn't you see?"

"I didn't see it, but my sister did."

"Did you let Sisi go to see her in-laws alone?"

He Chu nodded.

Lao He immediately raised his hand, but he couldn't stand up because of back pain.

He Chu immediately understood and leaned his head over.

"Smack!"

Lao He slapped his son on the head.

"You coward, don't tell people outside in the future that you are a pig killer, we are pig killers, but we can't afford to lose you, you actually let your sister go to see your in-laws alone, what does your father and I mean by letting you go with you, don't you know?

It's for you to support the field, in case the two in-laws of the family want to bully Sisi, you, who are the elder brothers, have to go up to theorize, it's really not like words, like your father to take his head away! ”

"........." He Chu.

"His parents are still there, right?"

Lao He Tou began to inquire about the family affairs of his son-in-law's family.

"My brother-in-law's mother is gone."

Concubine Min has been dead for many years.

"Hey, no mother-in-law?"

Lao He is happy, it's better not to have a mother-in-law.

"Yes."

"Huh? Continuation? ”

"It's not."

"He's a concubine?"

"Poor...... Almost. ”

The queen is the mother-in-law, and the rest of the concubines are actually concubines, unless they are crowned imperial concubines.

"Hiss........."

Old He Tou gasped.

The situation in the son-in-law's family is much, much worse than he thought.

"Straight lady thief, she is still a concubine!"

"Daddy........."

"Your father and I went to the Yamen to ask someone, saying that Xiao Liuzi seems to have committed something, and the position of the head catcher is gone, you say, is he just about to escape back to the capital for refuge, and he abducted our family Sisi?"

"Daddy........."

"Straight lady thief, it's on the road, it's on the road!"

Lao He was angry for a while, and continued to say to his son:

"That's it, that's it, looking at the situation of his family, I'm afraid it's difficult to live a rich and comfortable life, so let's go to your brother-in-law and let him come back.

If it really doesn't work, let him come back and be my son-in-law.

These properties of our Lao He family, you, who are the elder brothers, can be divided equally with him, and you can set up a written note. ”

"Door-to-door............ Door-to-door son-in-law? ”

He Chu's face was very exciting.

"By the way, you bastard has been in the capital for half a year? If it weren't for the letters that come from time to time, your father would have thought you were gone! What the hell are you doing in the capital? ”

"Read books, learn to write."

Lao He was stunned for a moment, blinked, and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"Read books, learn to write."

"You pig killer, why are you literate, do you help pigs write suicide notes?"

"My brother-in-law told me to learn to read and write, and I did."

"Do whatever he tells you to do? You are the eldest brother, how can you listen to him everything, if he asks you to break into the palace one day, will you still be obedient to break in? ”

"Ah, well, okay."

"You, you, you, I'm so angry!"

"Daddy......"

"What kind of charter is it, why has this marriage been delayed until now?"

"Didn't I come back, Dad, it was because of the war and the marriage had to be delayed, so it was delayed, and now it doesn't look like I can't fight, so I came back."

"You're coming back alone?"

"My brother-in-law is back, too, but the day after me, tomorrow will be the day, and he will bring a dowry."

"Tomorrow, oh, where's your sister?"

"My sister and brother-in-law are back together."

"Also, this is called the number of etiquette."

"Dad, you take this shop away."

"I have to take it away, and I'll talk about it after I finish the marriage first."

"Dad, I mean, you can close this shop."

"Closed? You don't have a fever, how can you say such a nonsense? ”

"Dad, turn it off."

"What are you doing with me?"

"Go to the capital, follow us to the capital."

"What are you doing in the capital?"

"You, let him raise me? Can he afford it? ”

"Forehead ........."

"Besides, I have the ability to kill pigs and sell meat."

"My brother-in-law said that I could go to the capital to open a pork shop."

"Huh? Going to the capital to sell pork? ”

"That's right."

"You're panicking, right, your father just told you, it's not easy to live in a big place, plus you don't know the place well, even if your father and I go there to do the original business, only God knows if we can drive it.

Besides, if he asked me to go to the capital to sell pork, I would sell pork, I would have to listen to him, and if he could, why didn't he let me enter the palace to give pork legs to His Majesty! ”

"Dad, if you want to send it, you can ......... it."

"Don't say it, don't say it, you tomorrow, no, you go out of the city in the afternoon, collect a pig, and use it for marriage, let's prepare this hard dish ourselves."

Don't say anything nonsense about going to the capital, look at what kind of ecstasy soup you have been poured into by that little sixth son, I tell you, when I see that little thief tomorrow, look at how I pick him up, really what happened when the daughter of my old He family was not married! ”

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

"If there's a fart, let it go."

"My sister, there is"

"What's there?"

He Chu pointed to his stomach.

Old Hetou's eyes immediately widened,

Moment

It seemed that his waist didn't hurt anymore and his legs didn't ache anymore, so he immediately stood up and began to rummage through the cabinets.

"Dad, what are you doing, what are you doing?"

"Pack up your things and go to the capital to sell pork!"

……

"Sure?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have confirmed that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness called the imperial doctor from the palace to diagnose the pulse.

Tai Hospital first sent Doctor Luo, and after Doctor Luo came back, he invited Doctor Zhu to go again.

It is indeed a happy pulse, and the pulse is stable, so the daughter of the He family has good bones. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Yan put down the fold in his hand and put his hands in front of him.

Wei Zhonghe took the opportunity to speak:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty."

"Where is Cheng Jue?"

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Sixth has left Beijing with the daughter of the He family this morning."

"Since I found out that I was pregnant, I dared to walk around without permission."

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Sixth should have gone to Nan'an County to be hired."

Previously, because the Marquis of Jingnan slaughtered the Chu army under Yupan City, the relationship between Yan and Chu was very tense for a while, and a big battle could start at any time.

Therefore, the marriage of the eldest prince was done quietly, while the wedding of the prince and the county lord was postponed.

Right now, there seems to be no sign of a big sword movement in the Chu people in a short period of time, and what should be done can be done.

At the same time, the woman has it in her belly, and in the end, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir, and she can't let her mother's name be wrong.

"Did you bring the dowry?"

"I brought it, His Royal Highness the Sixth sent someone to the Prince's Mansion to ask for it, because His Majesty told him that the dowry would be handled by His Royal Highness the Prince."

Double the hind legs!

"It's hard for him to remember."

I really went to the prince to ask for pork legs.

"Did the prince give it?"

"The prince personally led people to help purchase the proper ones."

Hearing this, Emperor Yan nodded.

"The secret spy department will send people to escort along the way, and then two doctors from the Tai Hospital will accompany them."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

forthwith

Emperor Yan picked up another fold and flipped through it,

Road:

"With Ji Wujiang leading the 5,000 Zhenbei Army to leave Beijing, according to what Cheng Jue said, clear the trade routes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wei Zhonghe."

"The minions are here."

"I'm going to be a grandfather."

……

"Your Highness, this is the breakdown of the entry tax for the past three months."

The tax officer handed a booklet to Ji Chengjue.

Ji Chengjue didn't go through it, but returned it to the tax officer.

"Complaining, huh?"

The tax officer smiled bitterly: "They all say that this is competing with the people for profit." ”

"If you don't fight with them, you have to collect it from the people."

The tax officer was obviously also Ji Chengjue's own person, and when he heard this, he replied: "But, Your Highness, Nan'an County is okay, there are not many caravans, but many of the big caravans that pass in other places are princes and nobles." ”

"It's okay, with their father here, they don't dare to complain or anything, but these days, they are quite well-behaved, and they can't find a chicken to kill even if they want to find a monkey."

"Your Highness, if you have a grudge in your heart, it will be even more difficult to do."

"These, you don't have to worry, Lone has his own charter in his heart, but it's a pity, the batch of shopkeepers in Lone's hands have been looted away by the surnamed Zheng, and the snow customs don't know what's going on, the movement is so slow, and the rare objects in those workshops have not been made yet."

"Your Highness is waiting for the snow customs to come to help?"

"Yes, no, Dayan is so big, just staring at a place to eat, no matter how big the output is, it is not enough to eat, Lone's idea is that the west starts from the desert, and then the east ends at the Snow Pass, connecting Qian and Chu in turn, and all the merchants who enter my Yan realm have to give Lone a layer of skin."

"Your Highness, my subordinates feel that they are still too radical."

"Hey, I've only heard of the homeless people who rebelled because they couldn't eat, but I've never heard of the businessmen who got up because of the heavy taxes, picking up soft persimmons and pinching them, who don't pinch them?

If the Qianchu businessman thinks that the tax is heavy, let the Qianchu belong to my Dayan and become his own family, and the tax will be light.

After Gu left, you were also transferred out of Nan'an County and concentrated on helping Gu take care of the ticket number. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your support."

"It's done, you go, Lone has to come to my old man to give a gift."

"My subordinates are here to wish His Royal Highness a happy marriage, and the young lady and the old master will be pleased if they know it."

"Hmm."

Ji Chengjue, who left the teahouse, was wearing a long gown and dressed as a writer, but because he had a good skin, he held a fan in his hand and a pendant tied around his waist, so he really had the style of a handsome son.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of it, and a small convoy waited behind it.

Outside the carriage, a man in a black shirt stood.

"Ouch, I said big brother, you just ran to me as soon as you led the troops out of Beijing, are you afraid that others won't know that you and I are standing together?"

Ji Wujiang smiled indifferently and said:

"For my brother to make a comeback, it's all up to you, not standing together but standing together, what are you afraid of? Besides, he said that he was coming to help you clean up the trade routes, and you didn't show your brother where to go, because your brother couldn't lead his troops to go to the place and kill casually, right? ”

"Huh." Ji Chengjue nodded and said, "Big brother is serious, you and my brother hold each other, and it is natural for us to hold each other." ”

"Also, if you hire you today, according to the rules, it should be led by the elders in the family, and it is impossible for my father to come, and it is also my duty for me, who is the eldest brother, to come forward to help you Zhang Luo."

"Little brother, thank you, big brother, come, please here."

There was the daughter of the He family sitting in the carriage, and she was pregnant, and Ji Wujiang, as a brother, could not get into the carriage, so the brothers walked in front, and the carriage and the convoy transporting the dowry followed.

Because the number of pig hind legs in the dowry is too large and "dazzling", it has attracted the attention of many people in Nan'an County along the way.

Ordinary people's marriages, gold, silver, jewelry, jade bead curtains or something, it is impossible to see, pork is hard currency, and this team with the word "happy" is quite arrogant from the perspective of ordinary people.

Ji Chengjue has always been a pity, but it's a pity that his own Lao Tzu is busy with state affairs and can't come over in person, otherwise he should be extremely satisfied if he stands here and looks at the envious eyes of the people around him.

"You are quick to start, and you have it like this, there is nothing among you and my brothers, you are the first grandchild of your father.

It is said that the next generation, the next generation, look at what my father arranged for you this time, I am a little surprised. ”

Because the eldest prince has been in the military camp in his early years, and later set the task of marrying the barbarians, he got married late, and there is no news about the barbarian princess's body now.

The marriage between the prince and the county lord has also been delayed until now.

The third child is now scrapped.

The fourth and fifth are about the same age as Ji Chengjue, but the fourth and fifth are not married.

As for Lao Qi, the hair has not grown yet.

"Yo, speaking of which, big brother, you really have to thank me this time for this child who is still in his mother's womb, without him, your release may not have been so smooth this time."

"Yes, yes, when the child is born, I will bring a generous gift to him, but it is also a coincidence."

"It's not a coincidence, I knew that Sisi had it half a month ago, but it took a while to delay for a while when I sent it to the imperial doctor and informed my father."

"Are you even taking advantage of your unborn child?"

The eldest prince spoke very straight.

Ji Chengjue nodded and said, "He should, if it's a girl, it's my little padded jacket to help her father, if it's a boy, he should do something now to fight for the position of the emperor's grandson." ”

"Cheng Jue ........."

"I know what the eldest brother wants to say, don't worry, eldest brother, I won't be like our father, like that, boring.

By the way, big brother, a while ago, there was a good news from the Snow Customs, and the dowry you sent was a meritorious service. ”

"I also know, that Zheng Fan is also courageous, counting the days, Ke Yanbu should have just arrived, and he was dragged to the snowfield to fight."

"Well, by the way, big brother, do you know what I'm thinking about right now?"

"What do you think?"

"I'm thinking about when the surnamed Zheng will have a child, I hope he will have a daughter, my family is a boy, so that I can take advantage of him."

The eldest prince suddenly asked:

"What if it's a boy?"

"Then I won't learn from my father."

"Cheng Jue, what do you mean by that?"

"It's not interesting, oh, brother, the front is my father-in-law's house, and it's my brother-in-law who is standing next to him, He Chu, it's a coincidence that you came, I was thinking that after this appointment, let my eldest brother go to you, and now it's just right, you can take him away tomorrow, just put it around you, and you don't need to cultivate it, just see the blood and have a long knowledge."

"Yes."

"Okay, I'm going to give my father-in-law a salute, big brother, you also learn a little."

"Your father-in-law still doesn't know your identity?"

"I told my eldest brother to go back early, but it seems that he hasn't said it yet."

Saying,

Ji Chengjue stretched out his hand and pointed at Lao Hetou, and continued:

"Otherwise, my father-in-law wouldn't dare to wait here for my hairy son-in-law with a kitchen knife in his hand."

Good night.
