Chapter 124: The Xia Family

In fact, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, they have to convey a message to others, that is, 'I am not easy to mess with. After the Zhou family's incident, many people set their sights on Ming Qian, and being able to mobilize the Yushitai shows this person's ability. The Imperial History Lords are not something that anyone can buy, how to let them help, the parties concerned are silent.

But it is an indisputable fact that Mingqian's status among civil officials has risen a lot. Among the generals, because an old boss of the second girl's husband Bai Sixian was taken care of by Ming Qian, and now he has also helped Ming Qian improve a little in the minds of the generals, at least everyone will not take the initiative to attack Ming Qian, the champion of civil officials, because this champion is still very righteous.

Here's the thing, Bai Sixian's boss is a four-rank general, who is in his fifties this year, and it stands to reason that he should have been promoted or retired a long time ago, but this general Xia Yumin is too rigid and upright, and when he was transferred back to the capital, he couldn't get used to seeing the generals in the capital without rigidity. Said something offensive to people. So I was given a ginseng. Xia Yumin was imprisoned, and his family was imprisoned. The eldest grandson is still on the frontier, and he has made meritorious contributions.

So after Mingqian got Bai Sixian's letter for help, he did two things. First, investigate the whole process of the matter and play the court. Second, to protect the general's family. At that time, the general's family members were all detained in the Chenghuang Temple on the outskirts of the city, and Ming Qian sent people to check up and down to protect the reputation of the general's family members and take care of other family members from being mistreated.

Because Mingqian's investigation was very detailed, he didn't say anything big, but took out a series of evidence to speak. All after a month, Xia Yumin was acquitted. Return of family property. At that time, everyone saw that Mingqian was indeed an upright person and very capable.

Although Xia Yumin's official position is not large, he is very influential in the army, just like Li Guang, the general of the Han Dynasty, although he is famous and powerful, he cannot be crowned a marquis after all. The generals knew the truth of the matter, but they could try their best to protect the palace. But the impact is limited. On the contrary, it was Ming Qian who saved people.

Wait until Xia Yumin is released from prison. Her wife Peng came to visit, and at that time Pearl didn't know what was going on, but after listening to Peng, she realized how thrilling it was at that time. I don't know that Mingqian has done such a good thing.

Peng is a very kind woman. I'm in my forties. is Xia Yumin's stepwife, and two sons in the family died in battle. There are four grandsons left, and the eldest grandson is on the frontier. Now the remaining three grandchildren are also going to the frontier. There is also a granddaughter in the family, the youngest child, who is twelve years old this year. I heard that it is called Xia Qing.

Pearl didn't know that after all that they had endured, they would even want to go to the frontier to contribute to the country. Peng came over this time and gave many gifts. They were all not very valuable, such as the children's clothes she made with her own hands, and the fresh vegetables she brought to Pearl from her own village. Pearl could tell that the condition of her home was not very good. The gifts sent were very sincere.

When Peng was about to leave, Pearl gave her a snack made at home. He found a box and gave him four daggers. I'm sure all four of their grandchildren will love this gift. The daggers are collected by the father-in-law, and they are all made of stainless steel, like other weapons that the father-in-law likes, although the daggers have different shapes, they have a common feature, that is, they are not easy to break, do not rust, and are abnormally sharp. To the youngest daughter of the family, Pearl chose to send two fine brocades suitable for the little girl.

The next day, the old general came to visit Ming Qian in person, and Ming Qian thought that he was talking about people and talking nonsense. In the evening, Xia Yumin stayed to eat, and Pearl knew that martial artists were good at meat. All made for them roast duck, sauced beef, hand-handled meat, braised carp, vinegared tenderloin, appetizers stir-fried a few. He specially took out the three bottles of Moutai in the space, put them in the small jar, and asked the girl to send them over.

That day, the old general was very satisfied with the Ming family's hospitality, and before he left, Pearl also gave another jar of Moutai, the degree of this wine, but it couldn't be dried in one gulp, Ming Qian and the old general didn't drink less, but three catties of wine for them, it was still impossible to drink it all. Obviously, Ming Qian was also very happy, and drank a lot with the old general.

I don't know how the old general Yue knew, of course, he gave Liu He a holiday, and let this kid come back to rub some wine back, of course, the old general still generously sent pearl tiger skin and tiger bones.

Pearl really thought it was a little funny, and still gave General Yue a jar of Moutai. In fact, Ming Qian and General Yue were just nodding friends, and the civil and military generals were all forming their own gangs, and no one wanted to betray the organization. But after saving General Xia, General Yue was obviously very eager to see Ming Qian, and this was the second time that Liu He had come back. The older general opened his mouth to drink, this is to give Ming Qian face and shorten the distance between the two families!

When Zhao Qingyu's letter arrived in Zhuozhou, Liu Xuan had already lined up for Liu Xuan to look at it, and Pearl planned to cooperate with Zhao Qingyu for a long time, because several cooperation pearls were discovered, and Zhao Qingyu was indeed very good in Nanyang. Liu Xuan went to pick up the goods this time, and he also had a very important task, that is, he wanted to see what the goods Zhao Qingyu was most interested in.

The wisdom of the people of the Central Plains is also very admirable, and it is not allowed to transport salt and iron to the outside world, and it is not allowed to sell the books of the country to the outside world. Of course, firearms are also developing well in this dynasty. So firearms are now also prohibited from being exported. Pearl wondered if she should take the risk. The more money is not lacking now, the more reluctant to take risks. Pearl feels that there are some things that should be cautious.

This time Zhao Qingyu also brought natural rubber, this thing can be made into tires, although there are not many things that can be made, but as long as this thing can be made of contemporary raw materials, his own tires can be explained, after all, when someone has a heart to inquire about foreigners, he has already made it here.

Pearl has been paying attention to the affairs of the Hou Mansion since she was reminded by the old lady last time, and Pearl wants to know if the old lady is also raising people like herself. Also, did the old lady really give up her shares? Pearl contacted a person who had been saved in the past, and she happened to be in the old lady's yard. Pearl didn't expect to use her, but at this point Pearl had to send someone to investigate and monitor.

The news that came back was that the old lady was now back in charge of the Hou Mansion, and the third lady had been grounded and had not yet been released. The eldest lady Yang is also trembling now, and Hou Daozhong now has to go to the old lady's courtyard every day to ask for a report. The third master, Hou Daoliang, was sent back to the barracks by the old lady, and he didn't bring a woman with him.

The two daughters who have been married are very much in favor of the old lady returning to the mountain. The eldest lady was held accountable by the old lady. When Pearl heard the news, she secretly sighed that the old lady's methods were amazing, and she had not been at home for many years, but there were still many people who followed the old lady.

"Eldest sister, can I take Zhen'er to Peng's house?" Sanniu asked at lunch this day,

Pearl is watching her two sons eat! Hearing Sanniu ask like this, she looked at Liu Tonghammer and his wife. They obviously didn't know, and they were waiting for Pearl to explain, looking at Sanniu and Ming Zhen'er, these two girls have been on good terms recently, Pearl asked,

"Is it General Xia's house? Their daughter invited you? ”

Sanniu looked at the eldest sister, still very worried, last time there was a problem at the party, I don't know if the eldest sister can agree to her to go, so her voice is a little small, said,

"Yes, we first got her letter and gave each other gifts, but I think she must be a nice person."

Ming Zhen'er also said at this time, "Master, can we go?" ”

"Do you all want to go?"

The two girls nodded in unison, Pearl looked at Yu'er, this little girl also looked envious, so she said,

"Why don't we go to Zhuangzi and have a look, and when we settle down, we will go to Peng's and Xia Qing."

Fang Shi said at this time, "It's almost teething now!" Wild vegetables should have come out as well. ”

Pearl saw that his father Liu Tonghammer also looked envious, and felt that his proposal was really good. (To be continued......)
