Chapter 728: Past and Fall (Part II)
Chapter 728: Past and Fall (Part II)
It is not unreasonable for Eleven Niang to be worried.
When Xu Lingyi proposed to let Xu Sijin go to the Shiyang Hundred Households, Xu Sijin's attitude was quite unimpressed.
On the way to prepare for the private mine, he didn't know how many difficulties he encountered, and in the end, he didn't settle them one by one? His father asked him to go to the health center in order to let him practice his favors, isn't he a man who is still practicing his feelings?
He wrote back to Xu Lingyi and said that the matter of the silver mine had just been straightened out, but the money had not yet begun to be liquidated, and his share was okay to say, but King Yong's share could not be ignored. It is not too late for him to go after he straightens out the line of leveling Qianhusuo, Pu'anwei, Gong Dongning, and Yongwang.
Disappreciative jumped on the page.
Xu Lingyi replied to him with a smile: "...... This hundred households are under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan General Army, Sichuan Governor Ding Zhi and I do not get along, he is over sixty years old, he is a person who can be at any time, no one buys face, he is not only arrogant, but also arrogant, and high-flying, you don't go, lest you catch any pigtails for him, I can't reach the whip. King Yong and Princess Jiangdu are the emperor's mother's compatriots, the emperor attaches great importance to it, because of Princess Jiangdu, the emperor even disregards the imperial court, and wants you to go to Nanjing to command Ren Tongzhi, you have to do a good job for King Yong and Princess Jiangdu, and if the matter is done, the future will be there! ”
Xu Sijin was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time: "If I'm just going to have a future, then what am I doing in the guard?" It's better to go to the inner mansion to be an errand for Prince Shun. With my means, I'm afraid that it will rise faster. Isn't it just a small Shiyang Hundred Households? Isn't he just a Ding Zhi who doesn't give face to his father? Isn't there just some messy relationships left that haven't been straightened out? Look at me! ”
wrote back to Xu Lingyi that night: "I'll go to Shiyang!" ”
Xu Lingyi took the letter and smiled slightly. I didn't tell Shi Niang what I said specifically, but only told her the result: "I asked him to go to the Shiyang Hundred Households, and I didn't alarm the Sichuan General Army, and asked a thousand households to help arrange it, and the thousand households didn't know the identity of Brother Jin'er." This time, it's really up to him! ”
If Shi Niang's heart has been hanging in the past, seeing that he can open a silver mine, her heart is half relieved - the ability is there, even if there is something, it is estimated that self-preservation will not be a problem. Now it's time for the experience.
She wrote a letter to Xu Si to guard against arrogance, calm down, and not be careless in Jingzhou.
Xu Si was cautious, but he was quite unimpressed.
Chang'an stayed in Pingyi, and he went to Shiyang alone. is neither arrogant nor humble, bold and generous, and soon hundreds of households and those old households come together. Although he has no property, he looks like a talent, and he is clever and clever, and many women ask him if he is married, and they want to recruit him.
Xu Sijin couldn't help but feel a little proud.
These people didn't fancy him because of his identity and status.
But he was also afraid of offending people because of this, so he hurriedly said that he had been engaged since he was a child, and because he had no money to get married, he dragged it down. Despite this, some people hinted that he settled in Siyang and did not have to go back to his hometown, so the marriage would naturally be over.
Xu Sijin couldn't cry or laugh a little, his mind was all on Pingyi, and Chang'an also frequently walked between Pingyi and Shiyang.
At this moment, something happened that had a profound impact on Xu Sijin.
The food and salaries of the soldiers of the 100 households in Siyang came from the military fields, and the soldiers trained for six days and cultivated for six days, and there were a total of four ploughing cattle in the 100 households. When it was Xu Sijin's turn to herd the cattle, he lay on the slope to bask in the sun, and when he squinted and got up, the cows that were grazing leisurely on the slope were gone...... If those people didn't dare to kill the cow, even if he found the cow, it would be four dead cows.
The hundred households in Siyang were so angry that they choked.
But the cattle thief shouted, "I'm just joking with him!" ”
Just kidding?
Why didn't Baihu stand up when he was about to beat him with thirty military sticks in front of the whole army? He patted his chest and said that he couldn't find the cow in three days, so why didn't he stand up when he started Yang?
Everyone was a member of the army, and the cow was found again, and the cattle thief was beaten with ten military sticks.
Xu Sijin fell into deep thought.
His opponent is not a soldier, what if it is a hundred or a thousand households? I think that at the beginning, he had also encountered such a thing when he was leveling, but he could easily resolve it, why did he capsize in a small ditch when he arrived in Shiyang? In the final analysis, it was because he didn't take Shiyang's affairs to heart.
Xu Sijin stood on the slope, watching the sunset disappear into the sky, then turned back to his small earthen house, and wrote a letter to his father discussing the Battle of Songpan Mansion that took place thirty years ago.
This is a late letter.
As early as the silver mine began to produce silver, Xu Sijin did not seriously discuss with Xu Lingyi the famous battles in history.
Something happened that made the change change for the son.
Xu Lingyi was overjoyed, and wanted to send someone to Siyang to inquire, and after pondering for a long time, he still gave up.
Holding him for so long, it's time to let go.
There are some things that Xu Sijin needs to face by himself.
The son's letter gradually became square from the perfunctory words at the beginning, and Eleven Niang also felt the change in Xu Sijin.
She happily asked Xu Lingyi: "Who is taking care of the silver mine in Pingyi?" ”
Xu Lingyi was surprised.
Eleven Niang didn't see it, and calmly unloaded the hairpin in front of the camera: "Chang'an is not small, I have been running around with Brother Jin all these years, and the marriage has been delayed." I asked Qiu Ju if she had a favorite candidate, and she said every time that I would call the shots for Chang'an. I looked at it, and I wanted to look good, and the cherries in Brother Jin's house were worth one. And she was so heavy that she could calm down. Guarding the house for Brother Jin'er, cutting window flowers, doing needlework, and never moving around. In the future, Chang'an will follow Brother Jin out and don't have to worry about family affairs. What do you think? ”
The wife is protesting that he is hiding something from her, right?
"It's up to you to decide these things!" Xu Lingyi smiled and sat on the embroidery pier next to the mirror table, grabbed her shoulders and whispered, "Ask me what to do?" I don't know who Cherry is either? The hand gently stroked a strand of hair and wrapped it around the fingertips.
Eleven Niang turned around and glared at him fiercely.
Xu Lingyi laughed.
Eleven Niang asked Xu Silai: "In September, the emperor opened Enke, how sure is he?" Don't really take the same jinshi exam, that's bad. The fifth brother-in-law has been a county magistrate in Wendeng for more than ten years, but he has not moved a nest. The eldest brother has only been in Huguang for a few years, and he has already become a prefect. ”
"Although Zichun has not been promoted, the people in the Ministry of Officials don't give a thumbs up when they mention it." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "I think he is doing quite nourishing there, don't worry about these things." Then he asked about Brother Sheng's marriage: "What date is it set for?" ”
Brother Sheng's daughter-in-law is the daughter of Qian Ming's family, surnamed Huang, and her father is in Lintong Renzhi County. The two made a small decision last year, but because of the national funeral, they simply postponed it to this year.
"It's set for October 14th."
Xu Lingyi was a little surprised when he heard this.
Eleven Niang explained: "The fifth sister wants to hold a banquet in Wendeng, so she set the date for the second half of the year. ”
"Didn't she think Wenden was bad?" Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "Zichun has invited her a few times, but she is reluctant to go." I didn't expect to give Zichun face like this this time. ”
Eleven Niang didn't say much.
Wu Niang felt that Wendeng was not good and lived in Yanjing for many years. Although Yanjing is good, there are only these relatives. Although Wendeng is far away, Qian Ming is the parent official there. No matter how far away the relatives are, this gift must always be followed. Parents and officials are different, if they meet, they naturally have to follow the courtesy, and if they can't touch it, they can not follow it...... Otherwise, Wu Niang would not have gone to Wendeng.
"The fifth sister is going to take Brother Sheng and Sister Tian to Wendeng in the next few days," she said with a smile, "I discussed it with the fourth sister and the twelfth sister, and I want to send the gift over as soon as possible." In this way, they also have more money in their hands, and it is more convenient to buy things in Wendeng. Then the two discussed the matter of the ceremony, and the next day Eleven Niang went to Sixiang Hutong with Siniang and Twelve Niang.
Wu Niang is packing her things.
Her usual belongings were still in their place, with only five or six cages for her change of clothes.
Seeing them coming, Wu Niang welcomed them to the inner room with a smile: "Brother Sheng will go back to Yichun, Sichuan next year to take the hospital exam, and it will be very troublesome to come and go, so I asked him to return to Sichuan directly from Wendeng." After the New Year, I will take my new daughter-in-law to recognize the door. ”
"Then we will congratulate Brother Sheng in advance on being admitted to the show!" Twelve Niang smiled and said.
Her brother-in-law was admitted to the Jinshi last year, and he was admitted to the Shujishi, if he was a waiter in the Hanlin Academy. Because Wang Ze interrupted his studies in the middle of the way, the two of them grasped the children's homework very tightly, and they usually liked to talk about who was admitted to Xiucai, and who was promoted to others.
Wu Niang smiled and thanked her.
Someone came in and served tea.
Siniang glanced at Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang pretended not to see it.
Twelve Niang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person serving tea: "This, isn't this a burning peach?" ”
"yes!" Wu Niang replied hesitantly, "Brother Sheng is getting married, and there are many things at home, so I'll let Zhuo Tao come back to help me." As he spoke, he waved his hand at Burning Peach like a fly, "You go down and help Brother Sheng clean up your things, just have Magnolia here to serve!" ”
Burning Peach muttered: "I'm busy helping my wife pack up the cage, I see that there is a shortage of manpower......"
Wu Niang frowned.
Zhuo Tao hurriedly stopped talking, bent his knees and bowed back.
Twelve Niang looked at Eleven Niang, and saw Eleven Niang drinking tea with her eyelids lowered, looking light-hearted, and she also followed her example and lowered her head to sip tea, and talked to Wu Niang about Brother Sheng's studies. When he went out, he went to the Yongping Marquis Mansion with Eleven Niang.
"Eleventh sister, what the hell is going on?" Twelve Niang said, "Wu Niang didn't go to Wendeng, and now she called Zhuo Tao back, who is serving next to the fifth brother-in-law?" Did you send someone over again? Why is the fifth sister so confused. One more person, one more thing, isn't this adding chaos to yourself? ”
"I don't know." Eleven Niang smiled bitterly, "I only know that the fifth sister left Zhuo Tao in Wendeng, and somehow, the fifth brother-in-law took Zhuo Tao's brother, Zhao Sheng, who used to be an accountkeeper in our family's account room, with him as a money and grain master." I heard that Zhao Sheng is very powerful, and he can be half of the fifth brother-in-law in Wendeng. ”
Twelve Niang was anxious: "That master Qian Liang is in charge of the field endowment, household registration, and marriage book, which is a fat shortage, why can't the fifth sister just ask?" Does Big Brother know about this? ”
