Chapter 146: Arrogant Beggars
Speaking of the cost of making friends with Taiyuan County officials and local heroes, Li Shimin felt that it was not appropriate to ask his father Li Yuan or his eldest brother Li Jiancheng for money, and he felt a little difficult in his heart.
Guanyin said that she had a way to solve it, and Li Shimin asked her how to solve it.
Guanyin asked Li Shimin, "Have you forgotten that I have a manor for marriage?"
Li Shimin exclaimed, "Are you going to sell the manor?"
Guanyin blamed Li Shimin, "You are really clear about big things, and confused about small things. Do you have to sell the estate with money?"
"There is land rent every year on the estate, and I haven't used a single penny over the years, and I have a lot of savings. I want to take out this money and use it to make friends with officials and heroes."
------
Li Shimin heard Guanyin say that he wanted to use her dowry, where could he bear it? Hurriedly excused himself, "This won't work, I'll still think of other ways."
Guanyin was very insistent, "What do you think I want money for? Steel is to be used on the cutting edge, and money is to be used where it is needed most."
"You and I are husband and wife with the same heart and destiny, do you still want to separate you and me? If you can conquer the country in the future, it will be yours and mine."
"If you can't beat the country, do you say this manor is still there? Will the money still be there? Everything will be empty."
------
Li Shimin saw that Guanyin's words were reasonable, and her words were resolute, and she was a little tragic, and she had the feeling that she was going to stake her entire net worth.
This is the difference between Guanyin and ordinary women.
Ordinary women are small and calculating, but the big ones are innumerable, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.
Guanyin is different, she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, knows how to make trade-offs, and knows how to make a big deal with a small one. She knows that the skin does not exist, and the hair is attached.
Li Shimin couldn't resist Guanyin, so he had to agree with her idea.
------
Guanyin discussed with Li Shimin and asked Li Shimin to find Li Yuan and transfer Ding Jikan for a period of time.
Ding Jikan went to Xinfeng Laozhuang to find the eldest grandson Wuji, asked the eldest grandson Wuji to help, and went to the manor of Guanyin in the west of Chang'an to raise money. After the money was raised, in order to facilitate the carrying on the road, the official money was exchanged for gold and secretly brought back to Jinyang by Ding Jikan.
If this money is not enough in the future, Guanyin intends to let the eldest grandson Wuji fund more.
After the two agreed, they felt that this matter should be sooner rather than later, and on the second day, Li Shimin asked Li Yuan to transfer Ding Jikan. Guanyin wrote a letter to the eldest grandson Wuji, asked Ding Jikan to bring it, and sent Ding Jikan to Xinfeng Laozhuang to find the eldest grandson Wuji on the same day.
------
After Ding Jikan left, Li Shimin and Guanyin discussed together what to do next.
Li Shimin believes that a breakthrough should be opened from Liu Wenjing, the commander of Jinyang County, and Pei Lian, the undertaker of the driving department of Jinyang Palace. Then, through the introduction of Liu Wenjing and Pei Lian, he got to know the main officials of Yingyang Mansion in Taiyuan County.
The main problem at present is that Li Shimin only knows Liu Wenjing and Pei Lian, but he does not have too much contact and does not have a deep friendship.
Li Shimin's idea is that if he wants to make friends with Liu Wenjing and Pei Lianshen, he must first understand the preferences of the two, and then he can take appropriate measures according to the person and introduce the two as confidants.
------
Li Shimin and Guanyin were discussing how to approach Liu Wenjing and Pei Lian, when they heard a commotion in front of the official office.
Li Shimin wondered who was so bold as to dare to make a noise in front of the official office of the arrest envoy.
Guanyin made fun of Li Shimin, "You are not a cheating envoy, what do you have to do with someone making noise in front of the official office? The arrest envoy is an edict, and the gatekeepers will let people be presumptuous here, and someone will take care of it. Where do we need to worry about it?"
The two of them paid no attention to what was happening outside the gate.
------
But after about a quarter of an hour, the noise did not stop, but became louder and louder.
Guanyin said to Li Shimin, "It's a little strange that it's been making trouble for so long, don't you let Qin Lan go to the front yard to find out what's going on?"
She was about to call Qin Lan, but Qin Lan shouted outside the door,
"Erlangjun, Sanniang, the gatekeeper came to report, saying that there was a scoundrel making trouble outside the official office and clamoring to see Sanniang."
"The guards didn't let him in, and he beat up some of them. The guards came over and asked Erlang-kun what to do?"
------
After listening to Qin Lan's report, Guanyin wondered in her heart, who would come to Jinyang to find her? is so bold that he dares to attack and arrest the guards of the embassy office.
She thought about it carefully, even if her relatives came to Jinyang, just let the guards come in and pass the ceremony, where did she need to make trouble outside the gate? Besides, the relatives she knows know etiquette and etiquette, how could they do such a thing that ignores the rules?
Suddenly, Guanyin thought of someone, and she said to Li Shimin with a smile, "Maybe God has sent us a general."
Li Shimin didn't understand what Guanyin meant by this, and asked Guanyin in confusion, "Why did you send a general?"
Guanyin looked at Li Shimin and smiled, "It is estimated that the person who followed me to mix rice came."
Li Shimin suddenly realized, "Is this person Uncle Shunde?"
------
Guanyin was also not sure, and said to Li Shimin, "Since they said they came to find me, we'd better go out and have a look."
Li Shimin and Guanyin got down from the kang, tidied up their makeup a little, walked out of the backyard of the official office together, passed through the front yard, and came to the gate of the official office.
In front of the arrest embassy, there was a row of guards, blocking the gate. Li Shimin and Guanyin were separated by a human wall, and they couldn't see anyone coming, so they bypassed the guards and came to the front.
In front of the human wall, I saw a person unkempt, dusty, wearing a tattered shirt, standing in front of the official office and confronting the guards. There were three guards lying on the ground, and several of the guards' sabers were thrown beside them. It looks like it's been a fight.
Guanyin took a closer look, the unkempt person was not the eldest grandson Shunde, who was it?
------
Seeing Li Shimin and Guanyin, the eldest grandson Shunde had already begun to shout,
"Okay, little aunt, when you get married, you don't take your uncle in your eyes anymore. Is this the hospitality you and the people of the world have done to greet Uncle?"
Li Shimin and Guanyin hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but the eldest grandson Shunde did not return the salute, and said with a big grin, "Excuse me."
After the eldest grandson Shunde finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and walked straight to the guards of the official office.
The guards standing in a row in front of the door, seeing Li Erlangjun and the eldest grandson Niangzi Shili, already knew that they were their acquaintances, and when they saw the eldest grandson Shunde walking towards them, they hurriedly dodged to both sides.
The eldest grandson, Shunde, glared at the guards and walked into the gate of the official office by himself.
The guards were frightened by him, and they all stood with their heads bowed, and no one stopped them.
------
Guanyin saw the eldest grandson Shunde enter the gate and hurriedly followed behind.
Li Shimin saw that the foreman of the guard was a personal guard of the eighth grade, and he didn't ask what happened, pointed to the three guards on the ground, and explained to the guard.
"You help the three of them in to examine their injuries, if the injuries are serious, go to the military doctor for treatment, and if you need money, go to my scholar Lu Zheng."
The guard bowed his hand to Li Shimin, "Please rest assured, Erlangjun, his subordinates will do it according to your arrangement."
------
After Li Shimin finished explaining, he also turned around and entered the official office, returned to his room in the backyard, and saw that the eldest grandson Shunde had sat on the kang and talked to Guanyin. He walked up to Sun Shunde, the elder of the kang, and punched him in the chest.
"But I found you, I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you so embarrassed? Where have you been for more than a year?"
Li Shimin took off his shoes and went to the kang as he spoke, and sat opposite the eldest grandson Shunde next to Guanyin.
------
When the eldest grandson Shunde saw Li Shimin asking questions, he wanted to talk about his experience in the past few years.
Guanyin hurriedly stopped, "Don't talk about this yet, hurry up and let Uncle Shunde go to bathe and change clothes." Otherwise, it will stain my kang mat."
When the eldest grandson Shunde heard this, he was so unwilling, "Okay, little aunt, you actually think Uncle Shunde is dirty. I'm going to get your kang mat dirty, what can you do?"
As he spoke, he deliberately moved his body and rubbed on the kang.
Li Shimin and Guanyin were all amused by him, it seems that they haven't seen each other for a few years, and the eldest grandson Shunde has not changed his original temper.
Guanyin called Qin Lan and Zhanhua, and asked them to serve the eldest Sun Shunde to bathe and change clothes.
She also instructed Shiqin to find a dress that Li Shimin wore in the spring, and brought it to her eldest grandson Shunde to change.
The eldest grandson, Shunde, had long wanted to take a hot bath, and followed Qin Lan to the west ear room.
-----
After bathing and changing clothes, the eldest grandson Shunde returned to the main room, and when he went to that station, he was still a mighty and majestic young man.
The red and black faces became a little darker, and the eyes were blazing, but they were shining.
It's just that Li Shimin's clothes, he didn't fit well, the clothes were a little thin, tightly tied to his body, the hem of the robe was almost dragging to the ground, and the sleeves were rolled up by him, which looked a little funny.
------
Guanyin called out to show the painting, "You take a ruler and measure it, and make a few clothes with Uncle Shunde's body."
Zhanhua went to get a ruler, measured it everywhere on the eldest grandson Shunde, and hurriedly made clothes after measuring.
The eldest grandson Shunde said proudly to Li Shimin, "It's still that the maid knows that she feels sorry for her uncle, after all, Langzi is not close, so it's good to let you enter the door."
Li Shimin saw that the eldest grandson Shunde was playing poor, and he was not polite to him, "If you talk nonsense again, I will drive you out of the mansion."
The eldest grandson, Shunde, gave Li Shimin a blank look, "Don't scare me, I'm not afraid."
As he spoke, he carried the hem of his robe a little long, took off his shoes and went on the kang.
------
Li Shimin and Guanyin were anxious to know what the eldest grandson Shunde had experienced in the past few years, and the two were even more curious, how did he become a beggar and why did he fight with the guards of the official office? .
Li Shimin urged the eldest grandson Shunde to hurry up and tell him what had happened, but Guanyin was still careful, and he asked the eldest grandson Shunde, "Uncle Shunde, have you eaten anything in the morning?"
Hearing Guanyin's question, the eldest grandson Shunde began to ridicule Li Shimin again, "Say that you don't kiss, you still don't recognize it, and you are anxious to hear what happened to me, but I don't know if I'm hungry." Or our maid knows that she feels distressed."
Li Shimin also blamed himself for being careless, and forgot to ask the eldest grandson Shunde if he had breakfast, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Shunde wants to eat something, I'll let people do it now."
At this time, the eldest grandson Shunde said again, "If you really think that I can't even mix breakfast, you will underestimate Uncle, if I am stupid to this extent, where will I still live until now?"
------
Guanyin smiled with a pursed mouth, and said in her heart, Uncle Shunde's mouth is really unforgiving.
Li Shimin knew that he had the best to be poor, and he didn't care about him, so he urged, "Since you have already eaten breakfast, hurry up and tell us about your glorious past."
At this time, Qin Lan entered the room, brought a pot of buttermilk and poured it for the three of them, and the eldest grandson Shunde began to talk about his experience in the past few years.
