Chapter 0018 - Girl's Dream
Li Wuxian, the assassin of Shazhou, was about fifty years old, his health was not very good, and he seemed relatively thin and weak, because Shazhou was a border state, and he also served as the military envoy of Doulu, but the specific affairs of the army were fully responsible for the deputy military envoy Zhang Ting.
Although he is the highest administrator of Shazhou, Li Wuyi's temper is very easy-going, and he doesn't have much official status, he invited Li Zhen to sit down, personally poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we are still a little related, don't you know!"
"The younger generation knows that the Dunhuang Li family and the Longxi Li family are originally in the same vein. β
"Not really. β
Li Wuyi smiled and waved his hand, "I also found out two days ago, it turns out that you are the grandson of Dr. Li of Zhouxue, didn't your grandfather tell you? β
Li Zhen had no relatives in his previous life, he was very indifferent to this family concept, and he suffered from family discrimination in this life, so he had no interest in these so-called family relatives for a long time.
However, his grandfather was not the Li family of Dunhuang, and he didn't expect it at all, but he only heard that the household registration can be attached, and the clan registration can also be attached?
"The juniors really don't know!"
Li Wuyi smiled, it was estimated that the blood relationship between them was also very far, and he obviously didn't want to say much about it.
As soon as the topic changed, Li Wuqi said again: "I didn't expect General Wang to value you so much and write you a letter of recommendation, of course, you are also fighting for your own strength, and you will participate in the military department next spring, I hope you can get good results in the exam and win glory for your hometown in Shazhou." β
"Juniors must work hard!"
Li Zhen asked curiously, "Is General Wang's letter of recommendation important?"
Li Wuqi laughed, "It seems that you really don't understand! The martial arts examination is actually the same as the imperial examination, and scholars entering Beijing to take the examination are generally recommended by the local government.
But if you think about it, there are more than 300 states and more than 1,500 counties in the country, and there are tens of thousands of scholars who enter Beijing every year to take the exam, but less than 100 people can be admitted. β
"The younger generation understands that the letter of recommendation from a senior official is actually for the ministry. β
After all, the imperial examination has to be confused, and the examiner doesn't know who you are, and the letter of recommendation is the key to the final interview with the officials. β
Li Wuqi smiled and said: "The same is true for martial arts, if you have a letter of recommendation from General Wang, then you are General Wang's protΓ©gΓ©, if you pass the martial arts examination, when the military department is assigned to an official position, you will naturally be assigned to General Wang's command." β
Only then did Li Zhen understand the true meaning of Wang Xiaojie's letter of recommendation to himself, it turned out that he had already opened his pockets over there, and when he fell in, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But after thinking about it again, maybe he can be regarded as a talent! Who doesn't want talents, otherwise what would Wang Xiaojie do to give BMW to himself?
The two chatted a few words, and Li Wuqi sighed again: "I didn't expect you to meet Tufan soldiers, Dunhuang has not appeared for many years." β
Li Wuyi's expression was a little solemn, and he whispered to himself, "This is not a good sign."
"What does the envoy say?"
"Oh, nothing, just a little feeling. β
Although Li Wuqi tried to downplay it as lightly as possible, Li Jin still felt a trace of misery in the worry in his eyes that could not be concealed, and Li Jin secretly wondered in his heart, 'Does it mean that the appearance of the Tufan soldiers'
"We don't talk about that. β
Li Wuyi smiled and waved his hand, interrupting Li Jin's association, and he smiled faintly: "Gao Fujun has already left Dunhuang, do you know?"
Li Zhen had already thought on the road that Li Wuqi must be looking for himself for Gao Yanfu, and it was impossible for Li Wuqi not to know.
Li Zhen shook his head silently, Li Wuqi stared at him for a moment, and then said: "Gao Mansion Jun instructed me when he left, hoping that I can take care of you as much as possible, do you have any difficulties?"
"Thank you, the juniors don't have any difficulties. β
Li Wuyi laughed, in fact, Gao Yanfu didn't let him take care of Li Zhen, and he didn't mention his distress at all, let alone Li Zhen.
But Li Zhen actually saved Gao Yanfu's life, Li Wuwu has been in officialdom for a long time, he knows that there are some things that Gao Yanfu will not say, and he should be sensitive and conscious enough.
Li Wuyi thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever sued anyone else about this matter?"
"No, Gao Fujun repeatedly instructed me not to say it, and several of us were tight-lipped. β
"That's right! This matter is only known to me and Zhang Jun, not even Jiang Changshi and Suo Sima, you remember, this matter is very important, you must not go out to publicize it. β
"Juniors understand!"
"Of course, if you make a contribution, there will naturally be a reward, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, only I can do it, I will do my best!"
Li Zhen thanked him repeatedly, and then left, Li Wuxian looked at his back and walked away, with a knowing smile on his face, this young man has Wang Xiaojie's attention, he won't take it too seriously, after all, the military and politics are different, but now it's Gao Yanfu, that's another matter
Li Zhen didn't have much interest in Gao Yanfu's affairs, after all, Gao Yanfu had already left, although Li Wuyi said that he was willing to help him, but that was just a statement, and he might have another attitude when he really encountered something.
However, his grandfather was not the Li clan of Dunhuang, but this incident surprised him, since his grandfather was the Li clan of Longxi, why did he hang on the family register of the Li clan in Dunhuang? Also, why didn't his grandfather tell him before he died, did my sister know?
Although Li Zhen was very indifferent to the family, he felt that there seemed to be something hidden here, Li Zhen urged the horse to rush home, he wanted to ask his sister about this.
There were still more than 100 steps away from Sanxian Lane, but when he saw Jiuzhi rushing towards him, he seemed to be anxious, Li Zhen restrained his war horse and asked in a loud voice: "Old fat, what happened?"
Jiu Zhi ran over and panted and said, "Lao Li, something happened, Sisi Sisi is going to Chang'an." β
Li Zhen was taken aback, "What's the matter?"
"I heard what Cui'er said, Sisi signed a contract with the Dunhuang wine shop in Chang'an, went to the wine shop in Chang'an to dance Hu Xuan dance, and will leave the day after tomorrow. β
Li Zhen only felt a headache, the dead girl just didn't listen to persuasion, she wanted to go to Chang'an, she was not yet fourteen years old, how could she go to Chang'an alone?
"Does Uncle Kang know?"
"Uncle Kang just found out that I sued him, and he was so angry that he ran to find the Suo family. β
"Wait" Li Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong, "What does this matter have to do with the Suo family?"
"Don't you know? The Dunhuang wine shop in Chang'an is the property of the Suo family, and this time it recruited twenty orchids, all of whom were about fifteen-year-old girls, and Sisi was one of them. β
Jiuzhi asked nervously, "Shall we go to the Suo family?"
Li Zhen thought about it and shook his head and said: "Uncle Kang just go, the Suo family won't mess around, let's wait for the news, if it really doesn't work, we'll find a way." β
Li Zhen had already reacted, Sisi must have signed the contract without telling his father.
But she is not yet fourteen years old, this kind of contract is meaningless, as long as Uncle Kang does not agree, the Suo family does not dare to forcibly take her away, otherwise it will become human trafficking, the Suo family is a cheeky family, and they dare not do this kind of thing in Dunhuang.
Li Zhen faintly regretted a little, Sisi had already said that he had leaked his mouth on the day of the Wuju Township test, and he still wanted to tell Uncle SΓΉ Kang to watch her closely, but unexpectedly, a series of things happened, and he forgot about it, but something happened.
If only I hadn't forgotten it at the time, I hope it's still too late.
"Let's go to my house first! Wait for the results of Uncle Kang's negotiations with the Suo family. Li Zhen turned over and dismounted, led the horse and Jiuzhi to his house
In the guest room of Suo Mansion, Suo Mao and another man politely received the menacing Kangmaid.
Kang Maide was so angry that his face was flushed, and Jiuzhi just told him that his daughter had signed a contract without authorization and was going to dance in the Chang'an wine shop, and she would come out the day after tomorrow.
He tortured his daughter, and it turned out to be like this, her daughter actually wanted to sneak away without telling herself, it was unreasonable!
Kang Maid was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "I sue you, don't think about this matter, I won't let my daughter go to Chang'an to dance!"
After all, the Suo family is a family, the family has lasted for hundreds of years, this kind of century-old history is not maintained by power, the Suo family attaches great importance to reputation in Dunhuang City, and Suo Mao does not want to cause trouble for the family and bring unnecessary reputation loss.
This incident was caused by the opening of a new store in the Dunhuang liquor store in Chang'an, Chang'an has hundreds of liquor shops, large and small, among which the orchid liquor store is the most popular, and the famous liquor store will recruit orchid to sell wine in the store, and the Dunhuang liquor store is no exception.
However, it was already difficult to recruit orchids in Chang'an, and the price was very high, so the Suo family decided to recruit a group of orchids in Dunhuang to go to Chang'an, and this time recruited twenty orchids, and Kang Sisi was one of them.
The man sitting next to Suo Mao is named Lan Zhenning, he is Suo Qing's son-in-law, a native of Jingzhao, and he is also the proprietor of the Dunhuang wine shop.
Lan Zhenning hurriedly said: "Please don't be angry, Mr. Kang, there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here, if their parents don't agree, I won't take them away, please wait!"
Lan Zhenning got up and walked away quickly, and after a while, he came in with a wooden box, and he took out a roll of contracts from the wooden box, about twenty sheets, which was all the contracts signed by twenty orchids.
Lan Zhenning found the contract signed by Kang Sisi and handed it to Kang Mad, "Sir, please see, there is a handprint on it that you agreed." β
Kang Maid was stunned, when did he agree, could it be that Sisi secretly pressed it while he was asleep?
He took the contract and looked at it carefully, and then snorted at his fingerprint, "This is fake, not my fingerprint, I don't know about it at all." β
Lan Zhenning and Suo Mao glanced at each other, this question is a bit strict, if they take the girl away, her father will go to the county government to complain, saying that the Suo family abducted and sold his daughter, which will inevitably cause a sensation in the city.
Suo Mao said: "If you don't agree, we will never force it, this contract can be canceled, she just doesn't go." β
Lan Zhenning coughed lightly, Kang Sisi Hu Xuan Dance is very good, and can speak fluent Chinese, and he looks good.
This kind of wine orchid can bring a lot of money to the wine shop, and it is very valuable in Chang'an, at least fifty yuan a month, and it may not be able to be recruited, other orchids can be wanted, but this Kang Sisi can't give up.
Lan Zhenning smiled again: "Since it is not the contract signed by Mr. Kang, then you haven't read this contract!"
To tell you the truth, other fathers have signed it except for you, this is not a deed of sale, just go to Chang'an to do things, usually come back in three years, if she doesn't want to do it halfway, she can come back at any time, but she can't go to other wine shops, it's as simple as that. β
Suo Mao added next to her: "In the contract, our Suo family will be the guarantor, not selling her body, only selling alcohol, to ensure her personal safety, and she will come back in three years." β
Kang Maid still trusts the Suo family more, and seeing that the Suo family is the guarantor in the contract, not a liar, his anger has disappeared a little.
In fact, he also knew that his daughter longed for Chang'an and Luoyang, and as she grew up day by day, he became more and more unable to control her, and she might pack up her things and run away one night.
Rather than sneaking away by herself, it is better to let her go to Chang'an in a bright way, it just so happens that her brother Wood is also in Chang'an, and she writes a letter to her brother and asks him to look at Sisi, if it is not right, she will take it out immediately, it should not be a big problem.
He looked at the contract carefully, he was a businessman, and felt that this contract was okay, and his daughter was basically very free, except that she was not allowed to sell alcohol in other liquor stores for three years, there were no other restrictions, but the price
Kang Maide frowned, only five yuan a month, which is too low, he has stayed in Chang'an, and knows that the Chang'an wine shop Orchid does not sell her body but only sells wine, but even selling wine is very hard, and he can't sleep all night when he is busy.
The daughter she worked so hard to raise is unacceptable to spend on her, optical dancing costs eight times a month, and in the end she can earn five times a month, which is simply unacceptable.
He looked at the other contracts again, and now the other contracts are to sell alcohol, but his daughter is dancing, obviously dancing is more difficult, but the price is five yuan, isn't this bullying his daughter?
"Everything else is fine, but I can't accept the price!"
Lan Zhenning put down his heart, the price was easy to say, and he immediately said: "Then ten yuan a month, how about it?"
"No, I want twenty dollars a month. β
"No problem!" Lan Zhenning agreed. β
Kang Maide immediately regretted it, the other party agreed too quickly, explaining that the price could be increased, he immediately changed his words: "The twenty yuan I said is paid to me by the Suo family every month, and the tavern will give my daughter ten yuan of pocket money every month, and then cover her room and board." β
Lan Zhenning laughed, "It's customary to include room and board, this uncle doesn't have to worry, but the uncle can't raise the price like this, if I promise thirty times, and you say forty times, there is no bottom." β
Kang Maid shook his head, "Just thirty times a month, I don't want more, as long as I can ensure her safety and her innocence, I will sign a contract." β
Lan Zhenning thought about it, thirty times is a bit high, but Kang Sisi's dance is really good, and it can be cultivated into the signature of the wine store, and thirty times is worth the money.
"Well, for this price, we absolutely guarantee her innocence and her safety. β
Conmaid smirked, it seemed that this trip was not in vain
