Chapter 135: Ascension! Battle of Fate!
Pingjiang County!
The family of six is eating.
Two husband and wife, two sons, and a concubine.
He's down to this point, and the concubine doesn't run away?
This really has to admire the personality charm of Kuo Gao, this loser is very worldly.
When his father lost his title, two generations tried their best to tie up with the powerful, wanting to restore the title, and thought of everything and everything.
Take money to bribe high-ranking officials and spend money to make a name for yourself.
Pay for the Qinglou woman to promote the good reputation of her family, pay for the storyteller to tell her family's glorious past, pay for the scholar to say good things about herself, and pay for the down-and-out scholar to write a book to promote the benevolence of her family.
In his letters, after drinking wildly, he often satirized the emperor, both to express his inner resentment and to cater to these scholars.
Therefore, in Pingjiang County, this is definitely a character like Meng Weijun, with friends all over the world.
Any scholar who has no food to eat, and when he goes to Pingjiang County to find a high school, he will not only have food to eat, but also get a sum of money.
In short, in just over ten years, he squandered the wealth that his family had accumulated for several generations.
Of course, it also left a lot of fame.
But in a sense, he can be regarded as a winner in life.
His wife, Liu Wan, is a scholarly family, and her family used to be a second-class high-ranking official.
When he was young, he went to befriend the powerful, and when he met this official lady, he fell in love very much.
In order to catch up with her, Wei Gao really used all the means and all the wealth, and climbed over the wall several times to enter people's mansions for private meetings.
I was bitten several times by a dog, and I was caught by the family and beaten half to death.
In this kind of bold, careful, thick-skinned, wasteful and romantic stalking, this official lady Liu Wan was really chased.
But where is Liu Wan's family willing? Her grandfather is a second-rank high-ranking official, and her father is also a fifth-grade official.
And Liu Wan's appearance, just look at Dian Fan, you can know that there is no beauty in ten thousand.
And on the side of Kuo Gao, a broken family who even lost his title, how could the Liu family agree to this marriage?
As a result, Liu Wan, who was carried away by emotion, staged an elopement drama and almost privately decided for life.
The Liu family is also a family that wants to save face, so they can only grit their teeth and fulfill the two.
But from now on, I will be heartbroken as if I don't have this daughter.
Liu Wan has been married for several years, and gradually found that her husband is completely a loser.
But so what? The children were born.
Besides, this husband is unproductive, but he is funny, humorous, and loves his wife.
In order to make the daughter-in-law happy, it is really heaven and earth.
Although there is no glory and wealth, it is not so hard, and the husband who knows the cold and warm is not bad.
After giving birth to Dian Fan, Liu Wan didn't know why she couldn't conceive a child anymore.
Two generations of high school depleted their family wealth in order to restore the title. As a result, the son can't be born, so what's the matter?
The couple worked hard for several years, but they couldn't get pregnant again.
So, Liu Wan agreed to her husband's concubine.
This concubine.
He welcomed another girl who was too beautiful to talk to, more than ten years younger than him, and the daughter of his teacher, who had fallen in love with him many years ago.
This little concubine Lin's father, who is also a broken family, did not pass the school entrance examination, so he went to be a tutor for others, and once taught high school for a few years, and then went to work as a staff member for a county order, and the future was not bad, but because he made a big mistake because of drinking, he was fired.
But even so, the Lin family will not be a concubine, she is so good-looking, and there are many people who want to marry.
But...... She just likes to be tall.
After marrying Kuo Gao as a concubine, he gave birth to two sons.
After the defeat of the family property, he was not willing to let the two women endure hardship, so he began to sell his land and house.
In short, as long as the two daughters-in-law are with him for one day, they must let them live a life of fine clothes and food.
Life is still very luxurious.
The two women don't understand, Liu Wan is a scholarly young lady, and the Lin family is innocent, and they are all people who don't smell copper.
Anyway, this husband can always take out the money to let them eat and drink spicy food, and make new silk and satin clothes every month.
In this way, the land was sold out, and the surplus property was also sold.
Dian Gao saw that he was about to live a hard life, but he didn't expect that this side of Dian Fan was developed.
Although he hated his father for selling his daughter for glory, he still had no shortage of money, and he continued to send money to his family every year.
The prosperous days of the Gao family have not been broken.
It's just that it's impossible to save money.
No matter how much money he sends back, he will be completely defeated by Dian Gaohua.
It's not entirely used for extravagant days, it's still for the eternal theme of the family, to restore the title.
is still desperately spending money on bribes and spending money to buy fame.
And the two sons have also grown up, and Kuo Gao has to find a way to marry high-ranking officials and nobles.
However, the two sons are not as capable as him, and those official ladies can't catch up, so they are angry.
A woman from a small family is unwilling to marry.
So, the eldest son is twenty-four, and the younger son is twenty-two.
So far, he has not married a wife.
And the people of the entire Pingjiang County also know the roots of Kochi, this is a ruined family.
When I was young, I ate my ancestral property, and after I ate my ancestral property, I ate my daughter's subsidy.
But last year, the handsome and dashing old loser was finally unlucky.
was framed and reported by the father of Li Shiyun, the Taishou of the South China Sea, and the whole family was imprisoned in Heilongtai.
All the possessions were also confiscated.
He felt that this time it must be over, and he was going to be slaughtered.
Unexpectedly, the situation reversed, Li Shiyun and his son became the rebels of the Dark Academy, including the high-ranking official of the Black Dragon Terrace who arrested him, and he was also arrested and imprisoned.
In this way, the Gao family was released in a daze.
But when I returned home, I was already surrounded by walls.
wanted to make up for his daughter, but he didn't expect his daughter and son-in-law to be unlucky, broke with the Shen family, and was exiled to White Bone City, poor and white.
Finally, the Gao family had a hard life.
There are no more big fish and big meat every day.
And Wei Gao himself, he can't pick his shoulders, he can't lift his hands, and he can't go out to make money.
So, his two women began to sell their silk brocades.
The family property was confiscated, and some silk clothes were left.
But I can only eat coarse tea and light rice every day.
Moreover, there was nothing left of the silk clothes of the two women, and they could not all be sold, and they did not even have decent clothes to see people.
In the future, I'm afraid that I won't even have to eat coarse tea and light rice.
These days, the poverty is desperate.
At this time, the dinner table was very shabby, six bowls of porridge, with a stack of pickles and a small piece of tofu.
Looking at a wife and a concubine, although she is not young, she is still beautiful and moving.
Gou Gauguin had tears to flow.
How will you live after this?
His two spoiled wives are pampered, and they have to live such a hard life with themselves.
"Wanwan, pity, don't worry, I'll go to find an errand tomorrow for my husband, I'm in Pingjiang County, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? Looking for an errand, isn't it easy? He patted his chest and said.
But only he knows the bitterness.
A few months ago, the two wives had sold out of their silk clothes, and there was still the last silk shirt left, and he was not allowed to sell them anyway.
So, he went out to find an errand.
He thought it would be easy, because he was so famous, how many people had he funded and helped before?
Now that many people are developed, as long as he pulls down his face and dignity to find errands, he can always make money.
Outcome...... It's brutal.
Anyone who was enthusiastic about him was just as downcast as he was.
All those who are already developed are not willing to help him at all, and they talk very affectionately and lift him up to the sky, but the actual help is not at all.
Even some people are even more cynical.
The most disgusting thing is that Wang Shiren, a scholar he once helped, has now become the chief bookkeeper of Pingjiang County, and he actually said openly and secretly that it is okay to let Yu Gao sell his concubine to him, or let his wife Liu Wan accompany him for one night.
Suddenly, the air exploded.
People can't be shameless to this point.
Back then, you didn't pass the school city exam, and you didn't even have to eat, how many times have I helped you?
I gave you the entanglement to go to Yingzhou to participate in the school city exam?
Now instead of helping me, you want to rob me of my woman.
The reason why everyone is reluctant to help Kuo Gao is largely because of the two beauties in his family.
Although the wife is in her forties, the concubine is also thirty-nine.
But pampered, why is the charm still there?
Moreover, the down-and-out scholar stayed at Gao's house for many days, and the two ladies were even more beautiful back then, and he was trembling in his dreams.
Now that it has become the main book, it is developed, and although the beauty is twilight, I still want to fulfill my dream.
Thinking of this man's ugly face, he was still indignant.
He has never had a hard life in his life, and he really doesn't know when such a day will end.
So in the last few months, he has borrowed all the money from usury.
Not only the cost of maintaining the family, but also the bribes from all parties in order to find errands, and a total of hundreds of taels of silver have been borrowed.
What was more than a hundred taels of silver before?
But now, this amount of money is already a huge amount.
"Alas, I don't know what happened to the girl and my aunt." Liu Wan sighed: "I heard that the white bone collar is so poor that he has no food to eat, it's like hell." ”
The little concubine Lin said pitifully: "Anyway, the eldest girl's letter also said that she and her uncle are very affectionate, so that's good!" The husband and wife are in love, and it's nothing if life is hard. ”
Hearing the concubine's words, Yu Gao's heart was even more uncomfortable.
Now he just wants to find an errand that can earn money and support his two daughters-in-law.
As for the restoration of the title, he didn't dare to think about it, after the next Heilongtai prison, it would not be easy to survive, and the matter of restoring the title would be completely stopped.
The heart is dead!
Next, I lived only for my two beloved wives.
As for the two sons, let them go, and I don't care if I can't marry a daughter-in-law.
Is it so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law with two unproductive things?
What's the use of giving birth to you?
And at this moment, someone outside shouted: "Is it there?" ”
Suddenly, Kuo Gao's face changed.
Then, quickly brought out a bowl of bacon from the kitchen, and a preserved fish was placed on the table.
This bowl of bacon and a preserved fish are absolutely inedible.
It's just for the sake of it.
Whenever someone comes to the house, they will quickly put it out, just to let the people outside know that I am still living a good life.
Then he stood with his fingers and smeared the oil on the bacon on his beard, and with the fastest speed, changed into the only satin shirt, and then walked outside.
As he walked, he laughed heartily and said, "Boss Li is good, but have you eaten, eat together, eat together!" ”
When you are outside, close the door.
This Boss Li is the one who borrowed him from a loan shark.
Now when I come to the door, I am afraid that I will ask for debts.
Dian Gao was thinking about using rhetoric to delay the debt period for a long time, but he didn't expect that Boss Li was Wang Shiren, the chief bookkeeper of Pingjiang County.
It was the beast who had been sponsored by him but wanted to take away his wife.
Boss Li said: "Gao Gao, the one hundred and twenty taels of silver you owe expire in three months, with interest, a total of two hundred and fifty taels, and the money should be repaid." ”
This interest.
Now that he has sold almost all his property, where can he get two hundred and fifty taels of silver?
Even if it's two taels of silver, he can't take it out.
Boss Li said with a smile: "Gao Gao, you sold all your family property anyway, and you sold it more thoroughly." Your little concubine Lin Lian is almost forty years old, she is old and decrepit, and she is worthless. But the king is willing to spend two hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy it for the sake of his past friendship, and you still don't thank the king? ”
He was furious.
"Don't you say that, my family's pity is a priceless treasure, she is not a concubine, even if she is seventy or eighty years old, she is also my treasure."
Boss Li said: "Infatuation seeds? Then you pay back! ”
Where can I get the money?
He said coldly: "Don't deceive people too much, my son-in-law is the son of the Marquis of Zhenhai." ”
"Hahahaha......" Wang Shiren, the chief bookkeeper of Pingjiang County, sneered: "Don't talk about your unlucky son-in-law, he's finished, it's completely finished!" His poor and white bone collar has been occupied. He himself was also arrested and returned to Zhenhai City, and he will be imprisoned for the rest of his life. Your daughter, I'm afraid she's going to the Workshop Division. ”
Pingjiang County is not in Tianshui Province, so the news is lagging behind.
Boss Li said coldly: "Your son-in-law Shen Wuqian is finished, so you either pay back the money today or sell the woman." ”
Kuo Gao gritted his teeth and said, "I sell the house, I sell the house!" ”
The house behind him is already the only remaining ancestral property. If this is sold, there will be no place for a family of six to live in the future.
And right now!
A cavalry galloped in.
He was almost paralyzed in fright, because the last time the black cavalry rushed in, they had captured his family and imprisoned him.
Even now, he often has nightmares about the black cavalry coming to catch him.
Therefore, not only was he paralyzed on the ground in fright, but he also urinated directly.
But even at this time, Wei Gao shouted inside: "Wanwan, Wanwan, run, go back to your parents' house." ”
Then, he said to Wang Shiren, the chief bookkeeper: "Have mercy on me and give it to you, I gave it to you, I don't want money." You will treat her better in the future, please. ”
He felt that if he was caught again this time, he would definitely die.
Therefore, you can't drag your two wives to die with you.
This kind of love is really breathtaking, no wonder he is already so poor, and his two wives still love him wholeheartedly.
And Wang Shiren and Boss Li had already retreated quickly and hid in the corner to watch the play.
A few cavalrymen stepped forward, and several warriors quickly carried a palanquin.
The sedan chair fell.
A eunuch walked out slowly and said loudly: "Accept the order!" ”
His wife Liu Wan and concubine Lin had mercy on her, and she walked out with a resolute face and helped her husband up.
Two women, looking generous and righteous.
They also thought that this time they were coming to arrest them again.
When the eunuch saw this scene, he felt funny in his heart, and he felt the bitterness of the world.
People are like ants, others can be twisted into hell with one finger, and with a slight lift of their hand, they can ascend to heaven.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, Kuo Gao is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but he was killed by traitors, it is my negligence, and the position of Viscount of Pingjiang will be restored from now on, Qin this!"
What?! Reinstatement of the knighthood? I heard you right?!
Hear the Decree!
Kuogao was stunned.
The two wives were also stunned.
Wang Shiren and Boss Li, who were outside, were even more stunned.
This...... This...... This, can a dead salted fish turn over?
And the height is really like a lightning strike.
Two generations of his family, it took decades to exhaust the family property of several generations, befriend countless powerful people, and bribe countless high-ranking officials, but they could not restore the title.
Now that he is so bitter that he can't live, he has reinstated his title?
But I didn't do anything.
The ultimate dream of our two generations, that unattainable dream, was so easily realized?
Therefore, Kuo Gao didn't even dare to be ecstatic.
I just felt unreal for a while, as if it was dreamy.
The eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your son-in-law has made great contributions. His Majesty the Emperor wanted to reward him, but he didn't want anything, he wanted to restore the title for you, and His Majesty was grateful for his filial piety, so he agreed. ”
This eunuch is a human spirit.
Son-in-law Shen Wuji?!
All this turned out to be the credit of his son-in-law Shen Wuji?
Liu Wan said: "I, I heard that my aunt is in the white bone collar, and he is very miserable." ”
The eunuch said: "Your son-in-law is amazing, you will know it in the future." ”
Only then did he dare to believe that all this was really happening in front of him.
Suddenly, boundless ecstasy surged into my heart.
It made him cry.
I really never thought that this big event would be easily held by my son-in-law Shen Wuji.
After a long while, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Next, he wanted to give the eunuch money.
But I found that I couldn't get a tael of silver.
The eunuch smiled and said, "Viscount Pingjiang doesn't have to be so polite. ”
Kuo Gao kowtowed and said, "The eunuch Gao's surname is the big name?" I keep it in my heart, and in this life and this life, I will definitely repay it. ”
The eunuch said: "We don't need you to repay, but we like to make a friend, our name is Andelu!" ”
Kuo Gao said solemnly: "I remember this name, and I will definitely repay it in this life!" ”
The eunuch An Delu smiled, where in our life do we need you to repay the opportunity? It's just to sell Shen Wuqian a face and make a good fate.
After the eunuch took people away.
Wang Shiren and Boss Li walked out with a smile and a sigh of relief.
"Congratulations to the Viscount, congratulations to the Viscount!"
Wang Shiren, the chief bookkeeper, bowed down to the end and said: "Brother, today's creation, my brother is really happy for you from the bottom of my heart!" ”
Then, he looked at the house and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, you are a viscount, and my Pingjiang County has the same name as you." We are all your vassals, how can we live in such a dilapidated house! Change houses, change houses! ”
"And how can this house be so shabby? It's wrapped up in my brother, and I will definitely get back all the things that my brother lost before! ”
It is said that Wang Shiren, the chief bookkeeper, does not have to be afraid of an empty viscount.
However, he saw the attitude of the great eunuch just now, Shen Wujian didn't know what he had done, and he had already remembered it by the emperor.
That's scary!
After that, Shen Wujian took power, and after taking revenge, he was a small master, but he couldn't bear it.
So hurry up and take the opportunity to curry favor.
Ao Gao was furious in his heart, thinking in his heart that he must take revenge and send the beast in front of him to prison.
But on the surface, he laughed loudly, held Wang Shiren's hand and said, "Brother Xian is polite, polite." ”
……………………
Inside the Marquis of Zhenhai's Palace!
"Chu Chu, I'm going to Drifting Zero City to participate in the Admiralty Conference soon, are you nervous?" Shen Wuyu said with a smile.
His smile is always warm and infectious.
Chu Chu said: "I'm not nervous, but the stakes are significant!" It's not just about my reputation or losing alone, but also about the victory or defeat of the Marquis, and I can't help but be nervous. ”
Shen Wuyu said: "First of all, our people have already checked the White Bone Collar many times, and the so-called reconstruction of the Star Picking Pavilion is a joke, and the rough conditions can't even make a pointer, let alone make a table clock." And our grandfather clock, which has been improved by the master of ingenuity, has been upgraded to a higher level than the starry sky series of the day, which is extremely amazing. Therefore, in terms of products, it is impossible for Shen Wujian and Wei Fan to win. ”
Chu Chu said: "He is vicious and exaggerated, and he is never down-to-earth, so he must be a poisonous plan, and he wants to exchange the pillar for stealing beams." If we can't compare with the product, we will use despicable means. ”
Shen Wuyu said: "Yes! I have to guard against that, but I'm prepared to let him get his way, so you don't have to be pressured. ”
"In addition, your teacher, Master Jing, will also go to the Admiralty Conference this time, and you don't have to worry about it for the Star Picking Pavilion."
Chu Chu was surprised.
Second son Shen Wuyu, what is your background?
Can you actually invite the exquisite master to go to Drifting Zero City to sit in the town and endorse the Shen family?
How arrogant is the Master of Ingenuity? What are the qualifications?
Shen Wuyu said: "Your teacher is a delicate master, it is impossible for him to hang on to the position of the master of the Star Pavilion all the time. So this time, after you defeated Shen Wujian and Dian Fan, you will justifiably become the Lord of the Star Picking Pavilion. ”
Suddenly, Chu Chu's body trembled, and he raised his head and said, "Thank you, Second Son." ”
Shen Wuyu said softly: "Call the second brother." ”
Chu Chu bowed and said, "Thank you, second brother." ”
Shen Wuyu said: "Go!" I believe in you, and you will be able to triumph. ”
Chu Chu left.
Looking at her graceful and charming back, Shen Wuyu's eyes were slightly hot.
…………………………
Chu Chu is preparing!
She is about to have the most important moment of her life.
She wants to become the Lord of the Star Picking Pavilion.
She's going to fly up the branches and make a phoenix.
Perhaps it is destined by God that she must step on the heads of Shen Wujian and Wei Fan to reach the peak of her life.
At this time, her father Chu Liang walked in.
Chu Chu frowned and said, "Father, what are you doing?" ”
Now Chu Chu is already very rich, so he gives his parents a lot of money every month.
But she didn't really want to see this father, because when she saw her parents, she would think that she was a slave of the Shen family.
Chu Liang said: "Girl, you are going to Piaoling City, and you are going to be the enemy of the Innocent Son, right?" ”
Chu Chu said coldly: "You don't have to care. ”
Chu Liang said: "Chu Chu, if you are my daughter, you will admit defeat in Floating Zero City this time, and you will definitely not be able to win the son of Wuji!" ”
"Why?" Chu Chu said: "Just because I used to be his maid, do I have to let him for the rest of my life?" No way, I want to win not only him, but completely! I am not only fighting on behalf of myself this time, but also on behalf of the Shen family, I want to be justified and completely defeat Shen Wujian! ”
Then, Chu Chu said coldly: "Father, you are so loyal, why don't you follow him to the White Bone Collar?" ”
Chu Liang is sad, what do you know?
Chu Liang was just a house slave, and by the time he knew what had happened, Wu Jian had already reached the White Bone Collar.
Chu Liang's first reaction was to immediately take the family to the White Bone Collar and wait for Shen Wuji.
But after thinking about it, he realized that no.
If he goes to the White Bone Collar, Shen Wujian will just have a few more useless slaves.
He wants to stay in the Marquis's Mansion and find out the news for the prince of Wuji. The most important thing is that he wants to be the link between the prince and the marquis.
In his opinion, father and son must not be completely opposed.
The best outcome in the future is that Marquis Shen Gongao re-recognizes the prince and allows him to inherit the title.
Although he Chuliang is incompetent, he must do his best to help accomplish this goal.
But at this time, his own daughter was going to defeat the innocent son.
A slave is going to defeat his master?
How can this be?
Chu Liang's internal organs were burned.
Chu Chu said: "Father, is the money I gave you enough to spend?" Then you move out of the Marquis's Palace, I bought you a house, covering several acres. ”
Chu Liang looked at his daughter, slowly knelt down, and said, "Daughter, can you beg your father?" In Drifting Zero City, you must lose to the Perfect Child, you must! ”
Chu Chu was stunned when he saw his father kneeling down.
Then, boundless anger and shame.
Is that the case again?
Is that the case again?
Why don't you help me every time I want to fly high, but still come and drag me back?
Suddenly, Chu Chu couldn't help but say, "Father, you, you are so pathetic!" ”
Then, without saying a word, she rushed out directly.
Chu Liang shouted from behind: "Chu Chu, I'm incompetent, I'm incompetent." But if you win this time, I will hang myself as soon as I hear the news! I had no shame to go to see Miss Mingzhu, who saved our family, but I gave birth to a wolf-hearted daughter and went to harm his son. What face do I have to live in this world? Not only will I kill myself, but I will also destroy my face with sulfuric acid! ”
When Chu Chu heard this, the anger in his heart was about to explode.
In an instant, infinite hatred and anger poured out on Shen Wuji's head.
Shen Wuji, I must defeat you, I must!
Next!
Zhenhae City Pier!
Shen Lingluo personally led the fleet and escorted Bi Xiaoxiao and Chu Chu to Piaoling City.
Meanwhile!
The ships of the delicate castle of Sky Book City also went south to Drift Zero City.
The highly respected and delicate master also appeared in person to face Shen Wujian and Wei Fan.
This...... It's actually weird!
What is the status of the master of delicacy? The Shen family didn't have the face to let him play at all.
The Shen Gong family has no backing in the imperial court and the Sky Book City.
But...... This master is on the scene.
……………………
Three days later!
Shen Wuji's ship is only a small boat, and I really don't know where to put the table clock cargo.
The fleet of the Shen family.
The fleet of elaborate castles.
All three parties have arrived at the Floating Zero City Pier!
So far!
The first battle between Shen Wujian and the Shen Gong family!
Even if it's the beginning!
