Chapter 7: Jade Pendant
"Innate ......"
Several elders of the Dao family furrowed their eyebrows.
"Father, Ono only received a black iron coin, and transferred the liquor store to ......"
"You unassuming thing!" Before Dao Hanfeng finished speaking, Dao Chengsheng scolded.
scolded his son for not being angry, and he was born in half a step, but he was defeated by Jiang Ning.
The second scolded his son for having no brains, that transfer is just a formality, what is the difference between a black iron coin and 10,000 ringing coins?
Another elder of the Dao family sighed bitterly: "It's the second child who is ignorant, and brought back three white-eyed wolves." ”
"How can you say that......"
Dao Hanqing was amused by the shamelessness of these elders in the family.
"Zhao Bantou wants to see Young Master Qing," a servant came in and said.
Licheng eight arrest classes, each capture has nearly 100 Ya arrests, and is divided into ten classes, Zhao Bantou is a subordinate of Dao Hanqing. It just so happened that Dao Hanqing was too lazy to listen, so he quickly got up and came to the door.
Zhao Bantou whispered a few words to Dao Hanqing.
Dao Hanqing also whispered a few words, Zhao Bantou left in a hurry, and Dao Hanqing went to Jiang Ning's house.
"Second brother, that group of people has entered the city. ”
"Go according to the plan. ”
"The moonlight is bright......" Dao Hanqing said as he looked at the night sky.
"The moonlight is dark and there are benefits to it, and the moon is bright, and they will take it lightly. ”
"Second brother, Xiaomeng is born?"
"Yes. ”
"Innate ......," Dao Hanqing sighed for a long time.
If it weren't for the snobbery of the elders in the family, with the second brother's literary talent and cleverness, and Li Meng's cultivation talent, there is no doubt that the Dao family would get two major boosts in the future.
"Big brother, you better take care of yourself. Some people in your family are not good for me for the sake of property, which is normal, and there are not too many selfish and greedy people in the world. It is also normal for elders to bully their superiors and subordinates, and it is one of human instincts to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. But there are two, except for you among the younger generations of the Dao family, everyone else is like that. ”
"There is nothing wrong with being young and frivolous, the family situation is not bad, and when you are young, how many people can be old and steady? The key is that no matter what kind of character you are, you have to have a goal in your heart, work hard for it, or work cultivation, or seriously manage the Dao family's industry, or like you, enter the city lord's mansion and try your best to get an official and a half-job. However, apart from you, I don't see any of the descendants of the Dao family having such thoughts, let alone working hard for this idea. ”
It's a very simple truth, and it's common in any world.
If the youth is strong, the family is strong, and the country is strong. If the youth progresses, the family progresses and the country progresses. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the family and the wisdom of the country!
Strong is powerful.
Progress is effort.
Wisdom is intelligence and talent.
The entire young generation of the Dao family has been abandoned, does the Dao family still have a future?
"The Dao family was originally just an ordinary small family, all of which were built up by relying on the eight-rank status obtained by the father-in-law in exchange for his military exploits and a large amount of wealth rewarded by the imperial court, and the actual background was very shallow. This is not afraid, if the knife family is united, the father-in-law loved his subordinates in the army back then, and he was quite prestigious. Many of these subordinates or colleagues are from Licheng or the surrounding counties. ”
"If the knife family is good, these people are the best external help. It won't be long before the rewards of the imperial court will turn into the true strength of the Dao family. However, no, the Dao family is now notorious in Licheng, and the various subordinates and colleagues of the father-in-law avoided it, and there was no unity inside...... Except for you, the Dao family has no future. ”
"Second brother, don't talk about this, although Xiaomeng is already congenital, you still have to pay attention. There is now another saying in the family that that the wine shop is your property, but you are the righteous son of the Dao family, then it is the property of the Dao family, and you are not qualified to sell it to Aunt Li. ”
"Hehe," Jiang Ning was also angry.
"You go back and say two words, if you don't accept it, let them go to the city lord's mansion to sue me." Also, when the Otsuki army slaughtered Taiping Castle, I escaped by luck, but when I met my father-in-law, the slaughter was ordered to stop. Although I have poor talent in cultivation, I am considered precocious. Even if my stepfather doesn't take me in, it won't be difficult for me to live, right?"
"Many people in the Dao family said that Aunt Li was a slave bought by her father-in-law. It doesn't matter, when I bought Aunt Li's mother and daughter, I was accompanied by several of my father-in-law's subordinates, and two of them were from Licheng, and they are still alive now, so I asked them to come out to prove that the money was taken out by my father-in-law, or did I take it out?"
"You took out the money?"
Jiang Ning stared in the southeast direction, it was really an unforgettable and tragic memory.
In that year, the city of Taiping was broken, and the Dayue army quickly rushed to Jiangfu. Jiang Ning's mother knew that something was wrong, so she asked Jiang Ning to change into ordinary clothes, and asked Jiang Ning's four loyal worshippers to take Jiang Ning and find a way to escape from Taiping City and join the Lu family.
Jiang Ning also has an older sister who married into the Lu family.
Later, Jiang Ning figured out why he didn't defect to the Jiang family. Because the main forces of the Jiang family, as well as all the descendants, are all in Taiping City, and Taiping City is broken, it is impossible for the Dayue army to let anyone from the Jiang family go. The Jiang family is all concubines, are they willing to support a young master who has no effect on them for no reason?
Similarly, there is also the Su family.
There is a girl in the Su family who has engaged a baby kiss with her, but the Jiang family is dead, will they still recognize this family business?
Of course, in addition to these two, the Jiang family also has many relatives and friends, such as his grandfather's family.
But once the Jiang family was destroyed, there were many uncertain variables, relatively speaking, although the Lu family was originally inferior to Jiang Song and other families, the Lu family was benevolent and a brother-in-law. Not to mention that the Lu family is expected to treat themselves as young masters, at least one life can be saved.
Jiang Ning's mother still underestimated the ferocity of the Otsuki army.
The first four worshippers absconded from Jiangfu with themselves, and more Dayue troops poured into Taiping City in the back, and began to rape, burn, kill and plunder all over the city. In just a moment, the four worshippers were either killed by the Otsuki army or dispersed by the chaotic army.
At that time, Jiang Ning was only six years old, and although he secretly watched the tragic offensive and defensive battles some time ago, these were ordinary people, old people, women and children...... He had never seen such a hellish scene, and he was so anxious to go back, but when he turned his head, he saw that Jiangfu was already a martyr. A few days later, Jiang Ning heard that it was his grandmother and mother who gave the order, and seeing that the Dayue army was so cruel, in order to avoid being insulted, his grandmother and mother asked the domestic servants to burn down the Jiang Mansion, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took all the female dependents in the family to set themselves on fire.
Jiang Ning didn't know at that time, and in his eagerness, he opened a family's firewood pile and hid in it. It was a long time before he heard a big man shouting outside: "Don't kill, don't kill." ”
He carefully carved a crack in the pyre, and saw a thick-eyed general of the Great Moon Army who was stopping the indiscriminate killing and looting.
In the same way, he later learned that it was not the knife insurance that was qualified to stop the Dayue army from slaughtering the city, and it was the military order from above, and the knife insurance dared to stop it?
The reason why he dared to block it was because at this time the order was issued from above.
But at that time, Jiang Ning was frightened, and the six gods had no owner, thinking that he had met a rare benevolent and righteous Dayue general, he walked out of the firewood pile, and pretended to be stupid and went crazy to cry in front of the knife underwriting.
In this way, he was adopted by knife insurance.
A few years ago, he was taken out of the suburbs by the Dao family to graze, and he often wondered what would happen if he continued to hide in the firewood pile and didn't come out?
He was six years old at the time, but he couldn't really be considered a child.
At that time he had no money on him, and when he was leaving, his mother gave him a lot of money, and many precious things, but not on him, but scattered and placed on the four offerings.
After the Otsuki army stopped the massacre, it didn't mean that he was safe. As the young master of the Jiang family, he must escape from Taiping City.
However, when the city was full of greenery, the city wall also collapsed a large area, and with his wisdom, with the help of night, it was still possible to escape from Taiping City.
Although he escaped from Taiping City, he didn't have a penny on him, but he stayed up for dozens of days, got out of the scope of Taiping Prefecture, found a certain family that looked kind, pretended to be pitiful, and worked as a small handyman for a year or two. When the situation stabilized, he also had a way to go to his brother-in-law again.
Even now, when he is a little safer, he still laments in his heart: "I really made a stupid decision back then." ”
The adoption of the knife insurance must be received, and this love is reciprocated, so he discussed with the knife Hanqing to do what he wanted to do tonight......
"Big brother, before Taiping City was broken, my family was in a better situation, but my mother saw that the situation was not good, so she asked four of my family to escape with me. In the midst of the chaos, the four subordinates were either killed or scattered, and the money was on them, and I had no money. A few days later, accompanied by several of my father-in-law's subordinates, I grabbed medicine for my father-in-law. Although the massacres of Otsuki's army had ceased by then, all kinds of brutal acts of rape and plunder continued, and many women and children were taken and sold to slave traders. ”
"When I came out into the street, I saw a group of soldiers holding a group of women and children ready to sell them to human traffickers, including Aunt Li and Xiaomeng. At that time, Xiaomeng was even younger, listening to the laughter of the soldiers and the crying of some women, I don't know what the situation was, and I was so frightened that I cried. What made people angry was that one of the soldiers was impatient enough to slap her hard. I think they are pitiful, although I only had money for my father-in-law at that time, but I still have two things on me. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Ning took out a jade pendant from his neck.
The light shines on, and this piece of jade pendant shines brightly......
