Chapter Seventy-Five: Crying and Laughing, Retreating as Advance
Li Weijian listened with a smile, his face remained silent. This Zi Daiyu is only ten years old, Xiangyun is even younger, he Li Weijian has been a human being for two generations, and now he likes the two little girls' families, which is really unreasonable.
I heard Li Kun groan, and said: "It's a pity that Brother Jian has to take the official career, otherwise the county lord is a good match." ”
Li Weijian smiled and said, "Why did you talk about the county lord?" Yes, I heard King Zhongyong say that this county lord is the most rude, and the eldest sister has been sad these days. ”
"She," Li Kun pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "It's too much to say that she is stubborn, but it's not a good thing." After sitting for half an hour, I was tickled all over. But the temperament is pure and the color is outstanding, it's a pity that ......"
To be the son-in-law of the King of Chungyong? If there is no real subject exam, Li Weijian will really consider it. But now that he has planned to take the path of practical discipline and promotion, where does he dare to provoke the county lord again?
If you really become the county lord, your career in this life will be gone. And it's not a good thing to be too deeply involved with the royal family.
It was getting late at this time, and Li Kun said a few words, and in the end he had the intention of avoiding it, so he got up early to say goodbye. Li Weijian sent it out, and then returned to the room to sit down.
Yesterday he was overworked, and today he rode a horse back and forth for eighty or ninety miles, Li Weijian was a little sleepy, so he simply ordered the maids to prepare hot water.
After a while, the big wooden barrel was brought in, mixed with hot water and cold water, and Hongyu made two jokes with Xiuying, teasing the little girl with red ears, and then retreated with Xiangling and Qingwen - it is Xiuying's turn to be on duty today.
Li Weijian took off his clothes, got into the barrel, and suddenly groaned. After a while, when I turned my head to look at the past, I saw Xiu Ying covering her eyes, and she was secretly looking at her eyes from between her fingers.
Li Weijian was suddenly overjoyed: "Do you want to see it, or don't you want to see it?" ”
Xiu Ying put down her hand and walked with a sweat towel on her head, unable to speak.
"Childe, I, I'll wipe your back."
The handkerchief was wet and rubbed on Li Weijian's back, and Li Weijian suddenly gasped. "You're a little lighter."
"Oh." Xiu Ying responded in a muffled voice, and it was really a lot lighter.
After a while, Xiu Ying said, "Did the general run into the boy's room yesterday?" How did this come to you? ”
Li Weijian frowned secretly, thinking that it was Si Qi who scratched it, no wonder there was such an itch behind him all day today. Xiu Ying is just silly, not stupid, where can you tell the cat scratching someone? I guess the little girl tasted it.
It was Li Weijian who only snorted twice and did not answer.
He didn't say a word, so Xiu Ying pursed her mouth and wiped it intently. After bathing, Li Weijian changed his middle clothes and went to sit on the bed, Xiu Ying and the two rough maids poured water, washed again, and then pinched the sweat towel and entered the warm pavilion.
She hesitated and stopped in the middle, secretly glanced at Li Weijian, then pursed her lips, took off her coat by herself, and stumbled into the collapse on the other side. Li Weijian smiled, lost the scroll, rolled up the quilt and lay down.
After a while, Li Weijian was confused, and he heard a faint sobbing sound coming from the collapse.
He said, "Why are you still crying?" ”
Xiu Ying said aggrievedly: "Childe is disgusted with me? I was born so hard that I couldn't even compare to the red jade, and I was still a country girl, so I would play with guns and sticks......"
"Hah, why are you disgusted?"
Xiu Ying turned around, and Pear Blossom said with rain: "I saw it all morning, my son holds Qingwen and Hongyu every day, and I want to sleep alone." ”
"Hahaha-" Li Weijian was overjoyed, and beckoned again and again: "Who won't let you go to bed by yourself?" Come here, look at this grievance. ”
Xiu Ying's mind succeeded, and she suddenly burst into laughter, but she accidentally blew out a snot bubble, and immediately wiped it in a hurry, and then hung her head and came over carefully.
Xiu Ying has a moderate figure, but her body is extremely strong, and she has practiced martial arts as a child. Li Weijian didn't pull it down, and when he pulled it again, Xiu Ying smashed it firmly on his chest, and he was suddenly depressed.
The little girl didn't have any excess on her waist, Li Weijian rubbed it twice, took it into her arms, and patted her back gently: "Sleep, Ming'er still has a lot of things." ”
"Childe is going to the yamen again?"
"That's not it, it's my lord, I'm going to buy a house."
"Huh?"
There is silver in his hand, the autumn is imminent, and it is not good to stay in the Rongguo Mansion after the autumn season, so he must first purchase the house and then make plans for the side.
…………………………………………
The next morning, the little girl came again. It's just that Tanchun looks sad and can't lift his spirits. Li Weijian smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that since Tanchun was familiar with the guide, it was time to teach swordsmanship.
The set of swordsmanship that Li Weijian learned is called Sanqing Sword, which is the swordsmanship practiced by the Shangqing faction of Maoshan with the secret technique of charms, the moves are bells and whistles, and the practicality is just because Li Weijian can't beat Xiuying.
But the bells and whistles have their own bells and whistles, Li Weijian's set of Sanqing swords was displayed, and he saw Tanchun's eyes glowing with brilliance, and he slapped his hands again and again, only saying 'mysterious'. This is the Yue Nu swordsmanship and the true swordsmanship in Tanchun's mind.
Li Weijian smiled and taught the two tricks of spring exploration, and then let the little girl practice by herself. After breakfast, Li Weijian and Wu Haiping drove out of Rongguo Mansion, and then picked up the Ding brothers on Ningrong Street.
The carriage stopped for a while, and Li Weijian beckoned the Ding family brothers forward and said, "Your brothers have been listening to it for the past two days, there are mansions for sale in this inner city." ”
The Ding brothers glanced at each other, and Ding Rusong said, "The son wants to buy a house?" Coincidentally, the small one just knows one place. He pointed to it casually and said: "Just two streets apart, it was originally Qian Tianguan's mansion, last month Qian Tianguan returned to his hometown, this house was vacant, and now the Qian family is selling it." ”
Li Weijian couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't talk nonsense, that Qian Tianguan's mansion can only be bought at will by me with a small show?" ”
Ding Rufeng pouted and said, "Childe is careful? Although the government has long set the shape, it is only a mansion issued to the imperial court, and no one cares about the rich man's private palace. ”
"That's not going to work, it's too eye-catching, find another place."
The Ding brothers responded, but they didn't have any ideas for a while. The two men were ordered to disperse, and news came soon.
On this day, Li Weijian went to Yan's Mansion again, and Yan Fengzhen was in the study for half a day, and Yan Xiyao took a sedan chair to go home.
Li Weijian hurriedly greeted the front of the Yi Gate, but saw Yan Xiyao, who got off the sedan chair, with a face sinking like water, and glimpsed that Li Weijian, a disciple, only bowed slightly, and then left without saying a word.
After entering the study, Yan Xiyao sent his subordinates to retreat, and then the big horse golden knife smiled and sat down.
Li Weijian wondered in his heart, stepped forward to pour tea for him and said, "Teacher...... Did you have a good time today? ”
Yan Xiyao said: "Isn't it a good thing to have a big quarrel with Chen Hongmou?" ”
Li Weijian said with a smile: "Then the student will congratulate the teacher on retreating this time." ”
Yan Xiyao laughed a few times, quite complacent.
Since Chen Hongmou proclaimed Ma to worship the prime minister, and took over the post of the official of the ministry, the old party in the DPRK and China, such as Qian Tianguan, either returned to his hometown after telling the old man, or ascended and descended secretly, and the new party was promoted from the state and county to the court as an official, and its wings gradually increased.
This year is just a matter of checking and clearing the debts, and when the New Party completely controls the situation in the coming days, it will do that thing to change the law.
In addition to Chen Hongmou, the new party also has two giants, one is Gu Weiyue, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the other is Yan Xiyao, the left attendant of the Criminal Department.
The sage originally wanted to use these three people as the backbone to condense the forces of law change. Yan Xiyao saw that the situation was wrong, so he simply looked for fault everywhere, and today he had a big quarrel with Chen Hongmou. With Chen Hongmou's temperament, Yan Xiyao will be rejected in the future, so that Yan Xiyao can be alone.
The master and apprentice played dumb riddles for a while, and Yan Xiyao told him about today's situation. After all, it's for the things that are owed.
When Taishang was in power, it was not easy to pity the Beijing officials, and he opened an opening to allow him to borrow money from his own household department to tide over the difficulties temporarily. Who would have thought that as soon as this opening was opened, in the past 20 years, the accumulation of household arrears would be tens of millions of taels!
And that's just the households, and the local debts are countless. However, this matter has dragged on for too long, and many officials have done ancient things, so it is not good to chase after the dead and ask for money.
Chen Hongmou flipped through the case file, and after making a clear statement to the sage, he set a rule for a period of ten years, with no blame for the past ten years ago, and a lot of money after ten years, and a deadline of three years to return.
Yan Xiyao seized the opportunity to quarrel with him, which was nothing more than speaking up for hundreds of officials, saying that it was not easy to live in Beijing. threatened that Chen Hong was plotting to carry out such a harsh government, and there would be something unbearable to see in the future.
After a few words, Yan Xiyao smiled and said: "I have a quarrel today, but I have saved the disaster for resurrection." It is expected that Chen Hongmou will learn that Fusheng is my student, and he will definitely abandon it in the future. ”
Li Weijian hurriedly said: "Thank you to the teacher for maintaining the students' thoroughness." ”
Yan Xiyao shook his head and said, "I think Chen Hongmou is acting fiercely, and I am afraid that this change will not be effective. ”
Li Weijian thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher, how does Da Sikong think?" ”
"Him?" Yan Xiyao sneered and was speechless. After a while, he said: "I was reborn to visit Gu Weiyue before? ”
"Yes, Uncle Li Shouzhong gave a letter of recommendation."
Yan Xiyao smiled and said, "Your uncle, don't say it." If he really has the wisdom to know people, how can he waste his life? Don't learn from him when you come back to life. ”
Li Weijian secretly thought to himself, could it be that there is something wrong with this Gu Weiyue? However, the teacher has already said that he has already said so clearly, and he can't ask any more questions, so he can only keep this question in his heart.
Li Weijian talked about the affairs of the government in the past few days, and then he said goodbye to his teacher and left the Yan Mansion. As soon as he came out, he saw the brothers of the Nading family coming to return to his life.
Ding Rufeng said: "Son, the little one has heard about it, there are not many out-of-the-box mansions in the inner city, but there are a lot in the outer city." There are now three places in the inner city, and two places and two entrances, all of which are sold by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials; There is also a mansion of General Feng'en, with a side garden in Sanjin, but the price is a bit high, the price is 9,000 taels, and it is estimated that it will not come down to 8,000 taels. ”
Eight thousand taels? Li Weijian is not counting the shares of the water company, there are 600,000 taels of cash alone, where do you care about these silver coins?
Immediately, he said: "It's done, come with me tomorrow to see the mansion of General Feng'en." After a pause, he suddenly said, "Can there be a mansion to enter?" ”
The Ding brothers glanced at each other, and Ding Rusong said: "Yes, not to mention the side, there is a house in the alley opposite Shao Si Kou's house to sell out." ”
Li Weijian was not in a hurry to go back to the house now, and went straight to the ten alleys opposite to take a look, and the house was quite clean when he entered the house, and the price of the house was 1,200 taels. Li Weijian paid the money on the spot, agreed to go to Shuntianfu to transfer the account in a few days, and got the key before returning.
When they arrived at the Derong Mansion, they threw a tael of silver to the Ding brothers, and the two brothers immediately left happily.
Li Weijian returned the carriage, and seeing that he was still clean today, he simply went straight to the inner house to visit Jia's mother.
He crossed the hall, and just after passing through the hall, he bumped into Si Qi head-on. During the day, there was no mother-in-law to guard the hall, and the two of them were on a pair, and Si Qi suddenly bit his lower lip and looked panicked.
Li Weijian saw that there was no one around, so he smiled and leaned in and whispered, "Why did you come by yourself?" ”
Si Qi said in a low voice: "Our girl is sick, the old lady asks, and I will reply to the old lady." ”
"Does it matter?"
Si Qi shook his head. The second girl Yingchun is pure heart disease, last night and today all day without a grain of rice, just crying, those eyes are crying like rotten peaches.
It was about the reputation of the girl's family, Li Weijian didn't say anything, so he comforted him a little, and then said: "Whose idea was it that incident yesterday?" ”
Si Qi kept his head and was silent.
Li Weijian sighed, frowned, and said, "Even I have to hide it?" ”
"It's not...... It's just ......" Si Qi snorted for a long time, and finally said: "Actually, it was the eldest lady's idea." I...... I've thought about telling the fourth master secretly, but-"
Si Qi came over, grabbed Li Weijian's hand, and said with red eyes: "I, I was anxious about the girl before, and I wanted to hang like this again, but I was afraid that there would be no result." I was confused for a while, so I talked to the eldest lady. When the eldest lady got the harmony, she let me put it in the drink. ”
Li Weijian was speechless for a while. He looked at Si Qi, and saw the affection that he couldn't hide when he raised his eyes by chance, and he understood a little in his heart. Looking at this situation, where is the anxiety for the spring? The chess is clearly for himself.
At this time, I heard Si Qi say again: "Yesterday, the eldest lady came back and said that the fourth master had been holding on to it. Fourth master, for yesterday's sake, I might as well raise my noble hand, otherwise I will really be kicked out of the house. ”
Li Weijian couldn't cry or laugh, raised his hand and pinched Si Qi's face, and sighed: "Tell me, why are you suffering?" ”
Si Qi was quite bold, rubbed his cheek, and then said with a charming eye: "Fourth master, I will rest ...... later."
Li Weijian's heart fluttered, and he said: "Okay, this matter is over." Just tell me what you want in the future. ”
"Hmm."
There was a sound of talking outside, and it was not good for the two of them to stay in the hall any longer, Li Weijian went west, Si Qi went east, and staggered by.
Li Weijian looked back and saw his figure hidden behind the curtain, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, this chess is bold and does whatever he wants, he must use it and guard against it, he must think of a way to collect his heart first, so that he can use it for himself. As for the punishment...... Once I opened the meat and got such a futon, now I don't know if I have suffered a loss or taken advantage of it, but it is a confused account. Let's think about it later!
However, Si Qi is so reckless and unscrupulous, it is really distressing, and he has to find a way.
Entering Jia's mother's house, Li Weijian had already thought of a rhetoric in his heart. After seeing the mandarin ducks, Li Weijian was introduced into the hall.
Now that it is about to be April, the screen in front of the door is removed, and Jia Mu can be seen sitting on the soft collapse through the summer.
Li Weijian stepped forward with a smile and looked around, Xu is it is still early at this time, and only Tanchun, Xichun and Daiyu are accompanying Jia's mother, and the huge hall looks much colder.
After Li Weijian sat down and gossiped with Jia's mother for a while, Li Weijian said: "Old lady, the younger generation went to see the house today." The old lady also knew that the younger generation got a sum of money, so she thought about buying a house first, and then moving out later. ”
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said with concern: "Why is Brother Jian going to move away at this time?" ”
The second more
