Chapter 60: Returning Home (Adding One to the Silver Alliance)

Yunfu, Xia Jingyun walked in, "Where is Niangniang?" ”

Seeing Xia Jingyun from a poor boy to Concubine De's brother-in-law, the housekeeper laughed with him, "Niangniang is handling political affairs." The lord and Lord Wei are playing chess in the backyard water pavilion, is the son going to find the mother or the master? ”

"Let's talk to Master first."

Soon, Xia Jingyun came to the backyard.

Seeing Xia Jingyun coming, Old Man Yun nodded slightly, and motioned for him to sit aside for a while.

Wei Yuanzhi also glanced at him, but he didn't speak either.

Although half of the first game has passed, the time required is not short, but Xia Jingyun sits calmly and is not arrogant or impatient, just like an old monk who has settled down.

In addition to settling down, I didn't forget to get up from time to time to add some tea to the two of them.

After waiting for the end of the game, Old Man Yun spoke: "Didn't you want to find a way to send your cousin to the Wudang Army?" How can you sit here for so long? ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "It's already been sent in." ”

"Ahem!" Wei Yuanzhi choked, his hand shook, and the tea soup was spilled.

Xia Jingyun hurriedly said, "Lord Wei, what's wrong with you?" Grab something and wipe it. ”

"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay." Wei Yuanzhi took the clean cloth towel from the maid's hand, wiped the water on his beard and clothes, and calmed down, "Why so fast?" What means did Xia Gongzi use? ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "No, it's that Jin Jiancheng, the leading general of the Wudang Army, took a fancy to his cousin's ability and begged my cousin to join." ”

Wei Yuanzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, who the hell are you fooling!

"Mr. Xia, the old man asked you seriously, please solve the old man's doubts."

Xia Jingyun said seriously: "What I said is true, my cousin has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his foundation is extremely strong, and he has been instructed by a master before, and he has refined his moves, which is quite praised by General Jin, I insist on not letting him go, he is bewitched by General Jin's rhetoric, and he wants to go as soon as he thinks about it, hey, there is really no way!" ”

Say you're fat and you're gasping for ......

Wei Yuanzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking at Old Man Yun, with a bit of resentment in his eyes that he had been deceived, as if to say: Did you already know?

Old Man Yun laughed and said, "The old man knows, but the little girl doesn't. Either way, Master Wei lost. ”

Wei Yuanzhi sighed.

......

Concubine De sat in the room, a little distracted.

In the past few years, she has secretly made some friends in the court, but after all, the Yun family is not a family with deep background, there are not so many intertwined relationships, and there are not so many protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, and the voice in the court is much weaker than the rest of the people, and there is no big man who can be called a big man in the queue.

But she has no way out, now she is the most favored, but if the future throne falls into the hands of others, she and her son can die well without strong foreign aid protection, so they have to take precautions.

Wei Yuanzhi and other feudal officials can be regarded as a weather vane, if he can get his public support, more people will be willing to bet on her side in the future.

However, Jin Jiancheng's attitude was so resolute yesterday, can Xia Jingyun really do it?

"Alas!"

She sighed faintly and pursed her lips, rare and coquettish.

Tuk-tuk.

There was a knock on the door, "Niangniang, Lord Wei asks to see you." ”

Concubine De stood up in surprise and immediately said, "Please let him in." ”

Wei Yuanzhi stepped in and arched his hand towards Concubine De, "Niangniang, the old man lost." ”

Concubine De's eyes suddenly lit up.

-----------------

Listening to the details of the bet told Old Man Yun, Xia Jingyun gave a thumbs up, one big and one small fox looked at each other and smiled, Xia Jingyun returned to Nantian Lane with satisfaction.

After finishing his cousin's military service, he also helped Niangniang earn a Wei Yuanzhi, and now what is in front of him is to go to Wanfu County to recover the ancestral property.

Since the day of the fight, after knowing that Xia Jingyun was accepted as a righteous brother by Concubine De, the matter of rehabilitation has been settled, and the ancestral property is expected to be recovered, everyone in the Xia family is almost waiting for the day when they go back.

If he didn't know the severity, he knew that Xia Jingyun was not what he used to be, and he was busy with affairs, I was afraid that he would urge Xia Jingyun to take them back the next day.

Although Xia Jingyun, who once lived like a "wandering" and believed that this place of peace was my hometown, he did not understand the feelings of this relocation, but he still reciprocated with full respect.

When he returned home, he began to talk about moving.

Because they were raided at the beginning, they were sent here penniless, and the current days of living are short, so they don't have much luggage.

The biggest piece of luggage turned out to be the gift that was almost half full.

Xia Jingyun was taken aback when he saw it, you are really not afraid of recruiting black!

So, he quickly found Zhao County's order and asked him to find a reliable official to come over, dispose of all these things, and exchange them for money.

That night, everyone was at home, and directly called the banquet of Cuihua Building and set up a table.

The little guy in Cuihua Building has gone out to deliver meals, but it is really rare to send them to Nantian Lane.

But at first glance, it was Xia Gongzi, it was not unusual, the shopkeeper personally carried the food box to help arrange it, and he didn't charge money.

But Xia Jingyun still gave it, and the shopkeeper finally accepted it.

One is not to lose his reputation for this money, and the other is that a small person must have the posture of a small person, and in the end, the two sides played their roles together.

Holding the exquisite wine glass and looking at the exquisite dishes full of them, Xia Hengzhi said with a smile: "I didn't expect us to be able to eat the famous Cuihualou in Jiang'an County once." ”

Xia Mingxiong nodded, sighing with emotion, "When I didn't have anything to eat in the labor camp a month ago, who would have thought that there would be today!" ”

Xia Zhang snorted, "It's a pity that my family is far from ......"

Xia Mingxiong glared speechlessly, "You person, which pot is not opened!" ”

"Auntie don't worry, now my cousin has joined the Wudang Army, and as soon as he enters, he will show his skills, and now he has been directly awarded the position of centurion by the leading general of the Wudang Army."

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Centurion who has no army, to put it simply, the county lord also has to give some face and look at it a few times." ”

He looked at Xia Zhang's with a smile, "Auntie, it won't take long for you to realize your great dream of having you eat a bite of food and I have a mouthful of porridge to drink." ”

Xia Zhang blushed and spitted, "What are you talking about!" That's the kind of person my aunt is! It's good that all you brothers are good! ”

Xia Li didn't want his son to continue to "tease" his sister-in-law, so he raised his glass with a smile, "Yes, hello everyone, it's really good!" ”

Xia Hengzhi also raised his glass, "Well said, in the future, our Xia family will reinvigorate and shine on the lintel!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses in unison.

Early the next morning, a team of ten people came to Nantian Lane.

Then, the coachman of the carriage and horse dealer shouted, pulled two carriages and two carts of belongings, and then swayed away towards the neighboring county under the escort of the world's squad.

Before leaving, everyone in the Xia family was naturally warmly greeted by everyone in Nantian Lane.

This family did not cause trouble, did not make trouble, and more importantly, helped them suppress a group of green skins, and returned a short happy time in Nantian Lane.

It's a pity that this happy time has just begun, and it is about to end, and everyone in Nantian Lane looked at the Xia family who was far away, and shed reluctant tears when they thought of the days when the green-skinned gangsters made a comeback.

The convoy headed straight out of the city and south.

Although Wanfu County is not far from Jiang'an County, there are more than 40 miles of land, and the group set off at dawn, stopping and stopping, and it was already evening when they arrived.

Fortunately, in this situation, as early as everyone's plan, the group went straight to Wanfu County and stayed at the only inn in the city.

Thanks to the provincial relatives of Concubine De, Wudang personally suppressed bandits and opened up trade routes, and then the accompanying merchants and the businessmen in the state were driven by common interests, and the economic exchanges showed a rare density in recent years, although it was only more than half a month, it has gradually revealed the image of prosperity.

The inn in the city also lives in some merchants at the moment, and the Xia family is not particularly conspicuous except that there are more people.

Reluctantly settled, Xia Jingyun personally and sincerely apologized to the non-commissioned officers of the Wudang Army who needed to be squeezed in a room with four people, and won the favor of everyone.

Shi Chang, the leader, said with a smile: "We are already very happy to have a clean room, dry bedding, food and drink, which is much more comfortable than marching and fighting." ”

Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment and sighed, "The life we are accustomed to is already your luxury. No matter how peaceful and prosperous the world comes, there are people who are carrying the weight forward. Below, I salute you! ”

As he spoke, he stretched to the ground and bowed deeply.

Everyone only felt that their noses were sour in an instant, they had always been regarded as stinky soldiers, how could they have been so praised.

A kind of pride that has never been felt before was born in my heart, and my sense of identity with Xia Jingyun soared like a straight line.

"Xia Gongzi tortured me and waited! Now that we have joined the army, we have been shrouded in horse leather, and we can't afford such praise! ”

Shi Chang led the way, everyone saluted in unison, Xia Jingyun shook his head and said, "Afford it, afford it!" ”

He immediately exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Don't talk about this, you guys will rest first, I'll go down to arrange wine and food, and eat together later." ”

Saying that, he turned to leave, everyone looked at his back, and a sergeant whispered: "Xia Gongzi, it doesn't seem to be much different from other big people." ”

"It's true, but it's normal, after all, he started from poverty, at least he knows the suffering of the people."

"No, I mean, he feels different, he doesn't treat us as human beings, a bit like ......"

The sergeant hesitated, but still said the name, "It's kind of like Childe." ”

Shi Chang subconsciously wanted to refute, how could anyone be compared to Gongzi, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt a little lacking in confidence, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense about this in the future." ”

Xia Jingyun told his family first, and then went downstairs to arrange dinner, Xia Mingxiong and Xia Hengzhi had nothing to do, and they also followed.

After ordering the food, the three of them simply sat downstairs.

A man dressed as a businessman took the initiative to come over, "Zhu Fu in Xiahongti County, the word Zhonghao, are you also passing merchants?" What are you selling? ”

Xia Jingyun smiled, "We are planning to move here, and on the carriage, it is not the goods, but our belongings." ”

"Hey! You see, I'm worried about this! The man looked left and right, and his voice was low, "Originally, I also saw that this place was very close to Jiang'an County, and it was also in the county governance from Jiang'an County to Jianning County, and I planned to set up a business house here." But I didn't expect that there was a tyrant in this town, bullying and dominating the market, insatiable, and hateful. Go tomorrow morning, but don't settle here. ”

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Isn't it! I inquired carefully today, and that person is the brother-in-law of the county order, known as Lu Erhu, who is cunning and greedy. There is an unlucky family on the outskirts of the city, saying that it is surnamed Xia, and there have been people in the past, and there is still a little surplus wealth in the family, but because there is no backer, he was looked down upon by this person, and he was directly found a crime, and he was copied and distributed, and several generations of family business have become the squandering of others! It's so fucking miserable, those who hear it are sad and those who see it cry. ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun sincerely, "I see that my brother is good, and I would like to remind you, don't learn from that unlucky bastard, and end up with such a pitiful end, early tomorrow morning, hurry up!" The man said sincerely.

Xia Jingyun clenched his fists, "Thank you brother Tai for reminding me, we will consider it ourselves." ”

As soon as the words fell, a figure rushed into the room, swept his eyes, saw Xia Mingxiong and Xia Hengzhi, his face changed, and he rushed over.

"Oops! It's really you! ”

The man rushed over excitedly, pressing Xia Mingxiong and Xia Hengzhi, who were about to get up to greet him, with an anxious expression, "How dare you come back!" Aren't you afraid that Lu Erhu will trouble you again? Are you still thinking about returning to your ancestral property? Let's go! While Lu Erhu doesn't know the news now, otherwise he will be ruthless and cut you down, and no one will be able to protect you! ”

The more the man on the side listened, the more confused he became, and looked at Xia Jingyun, "Who are you?" ”

"We're the unlucky guy you just said we were."

He looked at the businessman who was stunned and speechless and then blushed, and chuckled: "If Your Excellency is really optimistic about the location of this place, and is just worried about Lu Erhu, you might as well wait for one more day, maybe there will be some turnaround." ”
