Reading guide: Lao Sun is getting wider and wider, and he is anxious to help recruit old talents.

For example, Mrs. fainted more than a dozen times in one night, and almost killed her father. Peng Yulin has not heard from him for a long time, and he is anxious about Zeng Guofan, Guo Songtao, Liu Rong and Luo Zenan.

At this moment, a calamity suddenly befell Zeng Guofan without any warning......

Qinglin saw that Lao Sun's expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "Lao Sun, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Lao Sun said: "This Buddha statue, I really can't see the price at a glance, I need to take the small one back to the room and take a closer look." Early tomorrow morning, I'm sure to give adults an answer. ”

After the old grandson finished speaking, he picked up the Buddha statue and was about to leave.

Qinglin sneered and said, "Old Sun, you put down the Buddha statue to the main department." There are a few words I would like to share with you. ”

Lao Sun was stunned for a moment, and put the Buddha statue on the table at some loss.

Qinglin shouted: "Come! ”

Two Goshha, who were waiting outside the official hall, walked in and said, "Your Excellency, please command." ”

Qinglin pointed at Lao Sun with his hand and said, "Take off his top, and pick off his official uniform!" ”

The two Goshha didn't wait for Qinglin to finish speaking, and pounced on Lao Sun like tigers; One person knocked down Lao Sun with a punch, and the other began to take off his top and pick up his official uniform. The two cooperate very tacitly.

Lao Sun shouted: "My lord, the villain is not guilty!" ”

Qinglin saw that the old grandson had been held down by Goshha, so he said: "The headquarters was originally the famous Qingtian lord in Hubei, and it was you, the grandson, who ruined the good reputation of the headquarters. Otherwise, how can the ministry wait until now to return to office? You grandson, you will spit out as much as you eat me! The silver that the ministry deserves, how do you draw a red halfway? Who would dare to deceive the matter of money in front of the Ministry? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore! ”

Lao Sun shouted, "My lord, where did you start talking about it?" What kind of person the villain is, others don't know, you should always know! The villain has been following you for the old, and has been serving before and after the saddle, how dare you be the second child? If an adult listens to outsiders chewing their tongues, they will cure the villain's sin, and the villain will not be blind to death! I'm not convinced! ”

Qinglin said with a smile: "The Ministry of Medicine is sometimes confused in other matters, but when it comes to money, it has never been confused!" ,, The first county prison has just been repaired this morning, and no prisoners have been imprisoned in it. Old Sun, if you think you're going to fight with me, I'll take you to the bottom. Put him in the first county prison! Spread the words of the headquarters, and the first county was severely tortured. This grandson dares to hide the slightest bit and pick his skin! Pumping his muscles! Go ahead. ”

Lao Sun shouted that he was wronged, and struggled to pounce on Qinglin's body.

A Goshha slapped him, and the old grandson who hit him was full of blood.

The two Goshha dragged Lao Sun Sheng out.

Qinglin and the four masters put the silver tickets and gifts into their own treasury, and then took the list of vacancies and silver tickets and gifts listed by the political envoy, walked into the signing room alone, and began to release the vacancies according to the amount of silver.

Qinglin has its own characteristics, and only ten people are released at a time. There is nothing to say about the amount of silver given to him that matches the price of the missing cents, and there is nothing to say about the amount of silver that is given away; Write out the name here, and report it to the political envoy by a special person, and when the political envoy sees one, he will put a missing point on the table, and if there is a gap between the amount of silver sent to him and the price code of the missing points, there is also a special person to report to the official who is about to sign the shortage, and politely invite him to go to the governor's yamen. Qinglin did not come forward, entrusted a master to wait in the official hall, told the person the amount of silver that needed to be replenished, and told the person that the silver was made up on the front foot, and the back foot of the domain would be listed.

Qinglin is particularly handy and very organized in handling this kind of thing.

So, who did Qinglin's original trusted grandson be, but who planted it in the end?

Speaking of which, there really is a story to tell.

Lao Sun was originally a guy from an antique shop in the area of Jingshi Liulichang. It is also because he has a good heart, coupled with his willingness to endure hardships and recognize learning, in a few years, he has developed a pair of fiery eyes. Later, he met a man who was both a businessman and an official. That person is Qinglin's old acquaintance, although he has no great friendship, when Qinglin was a Beijing official, the two of them often drank together and played with women, and they lost their temper.

Qing Liang had already acted for Efu at that time, just to collect a lot of antiques, and often distressed because he couldn't figure out the price, so he sent a letter to his old acquaintance and entrusted him to help find a housekeeper who knew how to make antiques. The old acquaintance wrote a letter to Lao Sun, and asked Lao Sun to take the letter to the Hubei Governor's Yamen to defect. Lao Sun only then changed from an antique shop guy to the third housekeeper in Qingfutai Mansion, and ascended to the sky in one step.

Soon after arriving in Wuchang, Lao Sun took the family from the capital. The family rented a house near the governor's yamen, and he lived in the governor's yamen as usual, and only went home for one night every three or five days. Life is quite free.

After Lao Sun found the way, he gradually widened. Relying on some silver in his waist to support, he not only walked in front of people to keep his chest high, but also learned to use his eyes to beg people. After donating the top on his head, he was even more angry, and up and down the yamen, except for Qinglin, no one could enter his eyes. Because he has Xian'en, others can only slap him in person, but no one behind him is convinced, and he often says that he is not in front of Qinglin. This is mainly because he was born too lowly and can't be on the big stage.

One of them, who is a talented person, was introduced to the governor's yamen to help the curtain, just to make a living. There is a difference between a helper and a staff. Like the master of the yamen and the housekeeper in the house, these all belong to the staff; Helping the master take care of some things on the case, helping the housekeeper run errands and learn to speak a tongue, etc., is to help the curtain.

Lao Sun has become like this in less than a year after entering the mansion, which makes Lao Xiucai's eyes very hot. Lao Xiucai is not an idle person, and he also knows a lot about antiques, and his eyesight is only above his grandson. It's just because there are too many children, life is quite tight, and I can't afford to buy good things when I meet them, and the museum can't earn a few taels of silver, so I came out to help others.

Lao Xiucai wanted to recommend himself several times, but because his status was too low, he couldn't stand in front of Qinglin at all; I had the heart to ask a master to help him say something, but because the old Sun Xianen was too good, no one was willing to pass on this word for him.

Lao Sun became more and more arrogant, and the silver in his hand gathered more and more; Lao Xiucai is getting more and more red-eyed, and he is about to have a serious illness.

At this time, due to fatigue and defeat, Qinglin was expelled from the camp and stayed in the camp to serve. On the day the decree was issued, the Qingfu suddenly became deserted. But Qinglin has soldiers in his hands, and if there are soldiers, there is a salary, as long as there is a salary, Qinglin can always come up with a way to deduct it. In this way, although Qinglin has no governor's lack of points on his head, no matter how much, there is still income in the house every day. Not only did none of the original staff leave, but even the people who helped the staff stayed as usual. It's just that the old grandson suffered, because no one sent antiques to Qinglin, except for the monthly salary, there was no other income. But Lao Sun did not leave, because Lao Sun firmly believed that Qinglin, as a Manchurian, would definitely be able to make a comeback. After all, the Great Qing Kingdom is a world full of people.

At this time, Lao Xiu had the same idea as Lao Sun, and decided that Qinglin still had a bright future.

Lao Xiucai was sixty years old at the time, with four boys, five girls and nine children. The sons had all taken other wives, and four of the five daughters were also married, and there was only one thirteen-year-old daughter in the family.

Lao Xiucai's family lives in the countryside far from the Yangtze River, with more than a dozen acres of thin fields, and he employs two men, and his wife takes care of the housework for him. The Taiping army invaded Hubei along the river, and none of the states and counties along the river were intact, but the village where Lao Xiucai lived was not burned by soldiers. After the Qing army surrounded Wuchang, Lao Xiucai saw that the recovery of the provincial capital was just around the corner, so he personally went home. When he returned with his daughter, Wuchang had been recovered, and Qinglin was once again patrolling Hubei, and was repairing the governor's yamen day and night.

Lao Xiucai was overjoyed, and on the day he entered the city, he was cheeky and entrusted a master as a matchmaker, wanting to marry his daughter to Qinglin. Qinglin first suspected that Lao Xiucai's daughter was an ugly monster, so he asked the master to pass a message to Lao Xiucai, proposing to see his daughter in person. Lao Xiucai immediately took his daughter into the signing room.

When Qinglin saw it, he was overjoyed and smiled. Qinglin never imagined that the old Xiucai, who grew thin and withered, raised a daughter who was as beautiful as a fairy!

Qinglin was fascinated and immediately agreed to this family business. Someone sent the wedding card overnight, and the next day there was a big banquet, officially accepting the daughter of the old Xiucai as the twenty-third room Mrs. Ru.

The banquet was still in progress, but Qinglin was already in a hurry. Later, he simply left the table. first went to the bedroom and touched the pill** and swallowed the wine, and then went straight to the cave room, blasted away irrelevant people, and pressed Lao Xiucai's daughter to the bed and picked up her clothes.

This night, Qinglin used up all eighteen weapons, and only made Lao Xiucai's daughter cry and cry for her mother, she was too guilty to survive, and she couldn't die because she fainted more than a dozen times in one night.

Lao Xiucai became Qinglin's old Taishan overnight.

At this time, Lao Xiucai had already mastered the trick of making a fortune for Lao Sun.

One day after dinner, Lao Xiucai told Qinglin about Lao Sun's affairs one by one. Qinglin suddenly realized, thought about it carefully, and thought that what Lao Xiucai said was true. After that, I began to pay attention to my grandson.

After putting Lao Sun in prison, Qinglin handed over all the things that Lao Sun was responsible for before to Lao Xiucai.

Lao Xiucai also developed. The family's land property has not only increased from a dozen acres to nearly 100 acres, but also demolished the old houses, built a large row of new houses, and purchased some books.

Two months later, one night, the lobby of Shouxian was brightly lit. Surrounded by his own soldiers, Qinglin came here with great fanfare in a green sedan chair and a neat guard of honor to interrogate Lao Sun in person.

And this night, the Hunan Provincial Development and Examination Bureau's signing room was also brightly lit.

Zeng Guofan, together with Guo Songtao, Taqibu, Liu Rong, Luo Zenan and others, was discussing the matter of moving to Hengzhou and building ships and sailors.

This time he traveled to persuade donations, Guo Songtao persuaded Xiangyong to return more than 300,000 taels of silver, and Liu Rong persuaded to return 280,000 taels. Xiang Yong's big account suddenly added nearly 600,000 taels of silver.

As the money arrived one after another, Zeng Guofan's courage increased, and while secretly preparing for the camp, he began to appear frequently at the docks to learn some information about shipbuilding from local people.

But Peng Yulin has not heard from him for a long time.

Zeng Guofan was a little anxious, and Guo Songtao, Liu Rong, Luo Zenan and others were also very anxious.

On this day, Zeng Guofan returned from watching morning exercises. From a distance, I saw hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion standing outside the gate of the Issuance and Examination Bureau, all of them with a look of injustice on their faces. Xiang Yong, who was originally standing guard outside the gate, was forced into the gate at this moment.

Zeng Guofan lifted the sedan curtain and took a closer look, and found that it was the person of Changsha Xiebiao, but the commander knew him, and he was a Li surnamed Dusi of Xiebiao.

Zeng Guofan ordered the sedan car to be stopped.

Xiao Fu Sifei dismounted and ran to the front of the sedan chair.

Zeng Guofan said: "Fu Si, you see the co-bids standing outside the gate of the Issuance and Examination Bureau, it seems that those who come are not good. We can't afford not to be on guard. You send a fast horse to the camp outside the city to deliver a letter to Bao Chunting, and he will bring someone over. ”

Xiao Fusi got the order, and hurriedly called a personal soldier to his side and ordered: "You get on my horse and go to the camp outside the city to deliver a message to my master." The co-bid people surrounded the Issuance Examination Bureau and asked him to bring people back quickly to relieve the siege. ”

The soldier asked, "Master Guandao, which is your master?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”

Xiao Fusi glared at him and scolded: "Bastard! In addition to Lord Bao Chunting, which one still wears me as a master? Just go! ”

The soldiers then rode away.

Xiao Fusi ran to the sedan chair again and asked, "My lord, are we still leaving?" ”

Zeng Guofan looked at the Yuanmen of the Issuance and Examination Bureau and whispered: "It's too late for us to leave, and the people who are cooperating with the bid have come up." ”

As soon as Xiao Fusi heard this, he hurriedly raised his head to look in the direction of the Issuance and Examination Bureau, and saw that Du Si surnamed Li was frantically rushing over with hundreds of soldiers.

Xiao Fusi pulled out a machete from his waist and shouted: "Show all the guys and protect the adults!" ”

When hundreds of soldiers heard this, they suddenly stopped in front of the sedan chair, and all took off the muskets on their shoulders and leveled them in a shooting posture.

Xiao Fusi said to Li Chendian beside him: "Let's go, let's meet the past!" See what they want! ”

Zeng Guofan said loudly in the sedan chair: "Fu Si, first ask the reason, don't act recklessly!" ”

Zeng Guofan finished speaking, thought about it, lifted the sedan curtain and walked down the sedan chair. (End of chapter)
