Chapter 10 Dream of the City
"There is no other meaning, I also met him in the capital, and I don't hide it, I was sent by the imperial court to purchase alchemy medicine for the emperor. The goods of this shipload were secretly purchased from Korea for the emperor, which was not a prohibition. "Liu Chengben and that Qi Jiguang had a few meetings in the Beijing martial arts examination, and knew that he had done a command in Dengzhou, and wanted to take it out to make a fool, but unfortunately people didn't buy it, so they had to come up with a killer idea.
The general flag looked surprised when he heard this, and his little eyes rolled wildly. "So you are an official in Beijing who purchased medicinal materials for the emperor? Zongqi was afraid that he was cheating, so he continued to ask.
"This is written by Lord Lu himself, you can take a look. As he spoke, Liu Cheng handed over an excerpt.
Although this is the general flag, he can't read a basket of big characters, and he almost knocked down the fold. In the Ming Dynasty, many military generals, even high-ranking generals, would have a headache when they encountered words. Because there is no ink in the stomach, this is why the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty always look down on these generals. And the general flag is a seven-rank officer, which is equivalent to a modern platoon commander. Naturally, he also knew that he was half a pound and eight taels.
There are some words on the excerpt that he knows, such as the emperor's imperial character, the medicinal character of medicinal herbs, and the immortal character of immortals, because these are all common to him. The meaning is probably to figure it out, what emperor what, what three people, what out, immortals, what medicine, what each, what to give, the key is that he still recognizes the official seal.
This general flag looked at the sweat in his head, not frightened, mainly because he was really tired of looking at this thing.
Lord Lu, could it be that Lu Bing, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is the Governor of Zuo Du, who is a celebrity around the emperor, and the person in front of him should be involved with the Jinyi Guard, the former Lord Qi Jiguang Qi is a hereditary fourth-grade official, and the acquaintances and contacts must be officials from the fifth to the third grade, and there are many big officials in the capital, and they are above the third or fourth grade if they catch a handful. So he, a petty official of the seventh grade, is not even a fart in front of others.
immediately smiled: "Dare to ask the lord, but in Jinyi Weigao?"
"Exactly, under Liu Cheng served in the Beizhen Fusi, and directly obeyed Lord Lu and the emperor. Liu Cheng said with a smile.
"Sir, aren't you tormenting the villain. You are a chincha, what am I. The general flag immediately gave a deep salute. Liu Cheng hurriedly helped him. (Since the Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division was directly responsible to the emperor, the local officials were respectful and respectful when they saw the people of the Beizhen Fusi, and they did not dare to be careless at all, and called them "Shangcha" or "Qincha").
At this time, the officer of the small flag came up, looked at the fold with his eyes, and the general flag was so angry that he closed it and shouted: "Go and go, what to see, while going, the state secrets can be read by you, a petty official from the seventh grade, do you know how to read?"
The general flag closed the fold and returned it to Liu Cheng respectfully. "It's all small people who have no beads, let them go, don't forget to bring him a good one when you see Lord Qi. ”
"I don't know what Lord Banner is called. Liu Cheng asked with a smile.
"This, in Liu Dongjiang, haha, it's not good to be with adults or at home. ”
In this way, Liu Cheng and the others lifted anchor again, and the people on the boat looked stupid. Unexpectedly, this official from Beijing helped them out of the siege, so he was naturally grateful from the bottom of his heart.
When the boat sailed away, the old man suddenly knelt down and gave Liu Cheng a big salute, "Engong is on top, and he will be worshiped by the old man."
"Old man, I can't help it, why do you bother, it's just a matter of raising your hands. Liu Cheng hurriedly went to help.
"If it weren't for Engong, I'm afraid that my family would have lost my blood, and I would never have to turn over, I was old and talented, there was a little girl in the family, who was well-behaved and clever, and I was willing to give it to Engong to make a partial house, you must not refuse. ”
As soon as the old man's words came out, the people around him were anxious, and they surrounded him with a hula. Especially the boat boss, "I said old Zhangtou, you still have to face it, your daughter is almost thirty years old, the ugly one has never been able to marry, and it is too old to give it to Engong as a servant." Engong I have a cousin, who is one of the best beauties in ten miles and eight villages, if Engong doesn't dislike it......"
"Hey, when have you seen my daughter, don't talk nonsense. Don't listen to his nonsense. My daughter is beautiful and well-behaved, and she is only twenty-three years old......."
"Engong, accept my worship, there is nothing else below, if you lack a house slave, the little one is willing to ......"
"Engong, I give you this mountain ginseng, a little heart....."
Seeing that Liu Cheng and Fluttershy were surrounded for a while, Li Ol hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, shouting, "Get down, the dragon is coming!"
When everyone heard this, they were so frightened that they hid in Tibet, and when they found out that they had been deceived, they all scolded Li Alcohol for making trouble.
Li Yu smiled: "Everyone, my eldest brother has saved everyone twice, everyone should know how to repay the kindness, you can't just think about climbing up the high branches, if you really want to repay the kindness, you will give each person a tael of silver, as my eldest brother to return to the capital." It's not in vain that they saved you twice. ”
Everyone said yes, and each of them gave Li Yu a tael of silver.
But Liu Cheng said that he didn't want anything, Li Yu was anxious, "Big brother doesn't accept it, then what am I going to become, are you too little to mean everyone." ”
Liu Cheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Xian is very good at talking, do you have to force my brother to ask for it." ”
Everyone also said: "The life-saving grace of one tael of silver is indeed too little, it is better to add a few taels per person, more and less." ”
Liu Cheng was scared and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Where do I feel that kind of consciousness, since I don't accept it, everyone will not be happy in their hearts, so the silver will be stored below for souvenir." ”
"That's right, let's hurry up and unload the goods, otherwise it will be troublesome at dawn. The ship's boss shouted.
So everyone got busy, there were only two small boats, and Liu Cheng and Li Zhuo left the fishing boat on the last shift.
The captain of the boat sighed with tears: "Who knows the blessings and misfortunes in the world, cause and effect are like the ebb and flow of the tide; Hey, why can't I afford such a good thing? "From now on, do a lot of good deeds and make good friends, and I will not show it for the time being.
Besides, Liu Cheng and Fluttershy quit everyone after they went ashore and rushed all the way to the capital. It's not too far from Shandong to Beijing, but it's not too close, but fortunately she has some silver taels, which doesn't make Fluttershy suffer, but it's a bit embarrassing for the "father and daughter" to live in the same room.
Fluttershy doesn't feel anything wrong, but instead puts her arm around Liu Cheng every time she sleeps, and often talks late when the two of them talk.
Fluttershy tells Liu Cheng interesting stories about the peach blossom world and the grievances of various clans, and occasionally points out some special martial arts, while Liu Cheng tells Fluttershy about the outside world, the world, and occasionally his master and his own past.
Whenever Fluttershy falls asleep, Liu Cheng puts the pillow between the two of them and then sleeps again.
Every time Fluttershy wakes up, she finds herself clinging to a pillow, and she is naturally upset.
On this day, I arrived in Beijing, but I saw that some of the homes in the suburbs were completely desolate, and some of them were already in ruins, probably because of the Mongol army last year. Is this Tatar really so powerful? Liu Cheng couldn't help but sigh that the people at that time were really pitiful, and he didn't know what the situation in Beijing would be like after the war.
When I entered Beijing, I found that it was really busy, people came and went, prosperity was still the same, the soldiers were majestic, the brocade clothes were mighty, and occasionally you could see the envoys of the vassal kingdoms who came to the dynasty. It's really
The fireworks and willow lanes are still there, and the prince is still red.
It is a pity that there are 800 households outside the city, and the ruins and scorched earth people have not been returned.
I went home first to see my mother, my mother was taken care of by two people, since the death of my father, the family situation is not as good as day by day, all relying on the original savings to live, Liu Cheng has been away from home for more than a year, but I heard Liu Mao say that Liu Cheng stayed in the fairy world, and he was very happy at first, but as the days went by, it was inevitable to cry sadly and cry his eyes. Today suddenly the son returned, and the old lady was so happy that she could even straighten her waist.
A pair of old employees thanked the Liu family for taking care of them, so they never left, and served Liu's mother seriously from beginning to end.
Liu Cheng also wet his clothes with tears, everyone cried for a while, and Liu's mother said: "Okay, don't cry, my son is back today, it's a big happy event, don't cry, I said Liu De, how can you and your husband cry more than me, don't cry." Son, quickly introduce this little girl, let the child stand there for a long time to see what a few of us adults are crying and wiping tears like, come to the child, come to grandma to sit, grandma's eyes are not good, get closer and let grandma see. ”
"His name is Fluttershy, and his big name is Zhao Yuwei, and he is the child I rescued on the road, and I recognize him as a righteous daughter. Liu Cheng said.
"You still say that. Fluttershy sits beside Liu's mother with an angry expression.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, I am your future daughter-in-law, if your son is willing to marry, we are a family, if he is unwilling, then I am his master, anyway, he will be the heir of the fairy world sooner or later, this is the destiny of heaven, whether you want it or not, this is difficult to reverse. ”
"What, this is my daughter-in-law, oops, Liu Cheng, why didn't you say it earlier. Come to the child, let me see, it looks so tender, this baby face is so good-looking, look at other people's skin, this eyebrows and eyes, you can't be wrong in the future, girl, you are really willing to marry our Liu Cheng, then you won't suffer. ”
"It's still my aunt who can speak, but in fact, I'm just young, and I'm not too young. Fluttershy happily lets Liu's mother touch her.
Liu Deha laughed, "In the future, it will be an old husband and a young wife, it seems that the girl will be able to pass through the door tomorrow and the next year." ”
"Brother Liu Cheng won't be old, I will catch up with him. The art of cultivating immortals also includes the art of rejuvenation. ”
"I've said all about Fluttershy, don't talk nonsense, mother, her brain was crashed when the boat was in distress, so it's a bit of that. Liu Cheng was afraid that it would not be good and would leak all the secrets.
"Xiuxian, can we learn from the two of us too, we don't seek to be rich and rich, and it is also a blessing to have a good body!" Liu De interjected again, and his wife on the side tugged at his sleeve to shut him up.
"I said Liu De, Xiaoqin, why don't you go cook quickly, my son is back, and he brought a fairy-like daughter-in-law, today you have to show your skills and get more good dishes." Don't always think about becoming an immortal all day long, those things that don't have a shadow. ”
The family had lunch with laughter and laughter, and Liu Cheng wanted to report to Jinyiwei. Fluttershy has to follow along to see the excitement. Liu Cheng couldn't resist her, so he had to take it.
