Chapter 228: Leveraging Strength
It was already the month of Layue, but he said that he was in time for Xiu Mu on this day, Zijuan thought that he had not gone home for two months, so he took leave with Daiyu, and went out of Rongguo Mansion early in the morning and went to his house.
When I came out of Ningrong Street, I was about to find a mule cart to hire and go to the stone slab alley in the outer city. Waiting left and right, there was no mule cart passing, and suddenly a person pulled a strange-looking two-wheeled cart and stopped in front of Zijuan.
The coachman was holding two long poles in his hands, and the carriage behind him was not enclosed, but there was a shed above his head to protect him from the wind and snow.
The coachman grinned and said, "Girl, do you want to take a car?" Cheap! β
"What is this?"
"The rickshaw was only built last month by the Ministry of Industry's workshop."
Zijuan asked, "How much does it cost to go to Shiban Hutong?" β
The coachman pondered and said, "Thirty Wen...... Changed to a mule cart, let alone eighty or one hundred girls. β
How cheap is it? Zijuan has only a lot of money, and he has to leave some rouge gouache to buy, so he wants to save some money. Because he should get off immediately, carefully get on the rickshaw. The driver shouted, lifted the bar, and then turned around and ran out of the city.
Zijuan held a small burden and felt a novelty in his heart, but although this rickshaw was simple, it felt much more stable than the mule cart. From time to time, I encountered a rickshaw like this, and when I passed by the pig market, I saw a few mule carts fighting with a dozen or so rickshaw pullers......
Because of the small size of the body, the coachman shuttled back and forth in the crowd like a loach, and it was only half an hour's walk in the past day, but it was only two moments to reach the place.
After paying the fare, Zijuan entered the alley, and walked a short distance into a large courtyard. After a little conversation with the neighbors, Zijuan stopped in a side room and called softly, the door was immediately pushed open, and the woman laughed and pulled Zijuan into the side room.
"I still think you won't be back this month."
Zijuan sat on the kang and said: "The house is busy up and down for the sake of saving relatives, and it is only today that I am free, so I hurriedly took leave with the girl...... Where's my dad? β
His mother sat on the kang and said, "I went to sell miscellaneous mixes." β
Zijuan frowned and said, "Didn't I tell my father last time, there are also greenhouse vegetables this winter." β
The woman pouted and said, "Don't say anything, bad idea." The greenhouse vegetables are expensive, a bundle of spinach looks at a pound of more than a pound, you can't get back if you don't sell it for three dollars, your father took it once, and it took three days to sell it. I don't make more money than I did by selling mixed mixes. β
The so-called selling mixed fruits is a mixture of dried fruits and preserved fruits, a small bag of three big dollars, shaking a rattle and walking the streets and alleys, and earning nothing but hard money. Compared with the greenhouse vegetables, there is a lot more interest, but how many people are willing to spend a lot of money just to eat a bite of green vegetables in winter?
Zijuan frowned, and said, "It's because I think it's wrong-" As he spoke, he hurriedly took out his purse from his sleeve cage and handed a few pieces of broken silver to his mother: "-Mother, you can accept this silver to supplement your family." β
Usually, although his mother sighed, she never refused, but this time she said, "You should keep this money." When your dad sells the mixed mix, your father and I will make a different living. β
"Changing your livelihood?"
His mother rarely smiled, and lowered her voice: "It's not good to talk to outsiders...... Your father met a nobleman who was selling miscellaneous goods last month, and introduced him to an errand for a watch, and he was in charge of food and housing for one or two silver a month. After a pause, he said: "I heard that there is still a shortage of cooking, and your father said that I will try it when the time comes, and I can't say that I can make a penny a month." β
The people of Beijing, a family of five, have enough money of twenty or thirty taels of silver a year to live. Take care of food and shelter, pay back a silver tael, and such good things? is a mother who doesn't know anything, and if she goes to help the cook, she will have a lot of money...... Zijuan suddenly felt something in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, who is that nobleman?" β
His mother said, "I heard that it is the manager of the factory." β
"Factory?"
"It's the one in the south of the Narausch steam engine factory, the one that emits black smoke all day."
Now Zijuan is to eat another meal and suddenly come, the so-called nobleman must have been sent by the thrifty fourth master. The thrifty fourth master...... It's really true to his word, but maybe your nobles are busy, and now you just remember it, right?
Zijuan helped her mother with housework, and when her father came back with the burden at noon, he caught a glimpse of Zijuan, and immediately went out to cut a knife of meat, and came back with a dime of wine. On this day, Zijuan's family was happy, and when Shen Zheng passed, she reluctantly left the house and returned to Rongguo Mansion.
Xu is the rickshaw is still small, and after waiting for a long time, Zijuan gritted his teeth and hired a mule cart, and returned to Rongguo Mansion when it was close to You.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the corner door, he suddenly heard a greeting behind him, and when he stopped, he saw Ping'er leading a maid to chase after him with a smile.
Zijuan smiled and asked, "Where is Sister Ping'er?" β
Ping'er smiled: "Where else can I go?" The second grandmother is not good at moving around now, so I have to take care of it in the Zhuangzi? You've just come home? Yes, the person in charge said that your father would come once and not come. β
Zijuan hurriedly said annoyed: "This is not mine, this greenhouse vegetables are in short supply, but the people in the market are still too expensive, my father entered once, and it took three days to sell out, and it was even more profitable than selling mixed vegetables." β
The two entered the Yimen while talking, and Ping'er said: "Yes, although this greenhouse vegetable is a lot cheaper now, it is still too expensive." But it's hard to say, if you can't say three or five years, even the ordinary people can afford to eat? β
This is not Ping'er's words, but Wang Xifeng saw that the greenhouse camp was making money on his birthday, and the Duke of Yiguo couldn't bear it, so he moved his mind and wanted to buy the greenhouse in the Gonggong of the Huiguo's house.
Sister Feng has a big heart, thinking about first enveloping all the warm sheds in Beijing, and then Taiyuan, Xi'an, Jinmen, Jinan, ...... There are many big cities in the north, and it is impossible to say that you can earn a million family assets just by making a living from a greenhouse.
When I arrived at the south hall, I suddenly heard the wailing behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw the little guy carrying the crying Jia Huan and quickly walked into the corner door.
Seeing that there was a small servant behind him, Ping'er hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" β
The little guy pouted and said: "Mo Ti, the third master of Huan followed Jia Qin in the backyard to play naughty, and the carriage that passed by for some reason was startled, and it happened that the third master of Huan was hit squarely." β
"Yo, are you okay?"
The little guy said: "I'm afraid I hurt my arm." β
Ping'er hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and call the imperial doctor, it's not good to delay if you hurt your muscles and bones." β
The little guy responded and hurriedly chased after the front.
After this incident, Ping'er thought to herself, and there was no longer any interest in talking, and after the south hall, the two separated, Zijuan walked towards Jia's mother's courtyard, and Ping'er passed through the hall, detoured from the sandwich road, and entered the east courtyard, and then heard Aunt Zhao's scolding like killing a pig.
After passing through the two corner gates, I went around the pink oil shadow wall before I arrived at Sister Feng's courtyard. As soon as I was about to enter the door, I saw the maid and the good sister coming out of the inside.
Ping'er smiled and asked, "Grandma sent an errand?" β
Sister Shan said: "Grandma vaguely heard the crying in the front yard, and sent me to see what was going on." β
Ping'er said, "Sensei went, I just knew." β
Sister Shan smiled and said, "That's good, it saves trouble." β
Sister Shanjie lifted the curtain and let Ping'er in. Ping'er turned the hall and arrived in the warm pavilion. When I raised my eyes, I saw Sister Feng'er with a splint on her right foot, and now she was sitting on the kang table, looking at the accounts by candlelight.
Seeing Ping'er's return, Sister Feng hurriedly asked, "What's going on at the end of the greenhouse?" β
Ping'er untied the outer slur, and Sister Shanshan hurriedly took it, and Ping'er smiled and said, "What else?" Yesterday, Hongyu went to see it for a long time, and now I went again, and I don't dare to slack off. β
Wang Xifeng frowned and said, "Don't dare to underestimate it." Who got the news out of that last time? It's still unclear. This farmer looks at his honest duty, and he can talk about anything. Go around and patrol more, so as not to be neglected. β
Because he caught a glimpse of Sister Shan's still being, Wang Xifeng asked, "Did you hear it?" β
Sister Shan looked at Ping'er, and Ping'er said: "As soon as I entered the house, I heard the third master of Huan crying, but he was hit by a startled horse while playing on the street." I looked, but I was afraid that my arms would not be able to use their strength. β
Wang Xifeng snorted and was speechless. If it were the past, it would be impossible for Wang Xifeng to find Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, the juniors, to avenge himself. But now it's different, running such a big business, hundreds of households in the greenhouse, and dozens of newly hired nursing homes.
Wang Xifeng smashed down twenty taels of silver, and his own subordinates found Qingpi Lagu to deal with the matter. Hearing that Na Jia Huan only had a broken arm, Wang Xifeng was only a little relieved. It was the critical moment, it wasn't Jia Huan's fault, why was she trapped on the kang and couldn't move?
Outside here, I don't know how many things have been delayed.
Ping'er had something to say, turned her head and instructed Sister Shan: "It's none of your business, go down and put it down." β
The good sister should go down and retire with a blessed body. When he walked away, Ping'er said: "Grandma doesn't dare to be so reckless in the future, those green-skinned lamas are not serious, if they kill someone, they will have to go to court!" When the time comes, those green-skinned lagu will confess their grandmother as soon as possible. β
Wang Xifeng didn't care at all, and only said: "Only by killing him can you get rid of your hatred!" Zhenzhen has a mother and a son, so Aunt Zhao is not a worry-free person, Brother Huan is afraid that she is not as good as Aunt Zhao. β
Ping'er didn't know how to persuade her, at her age like Jia Huan, it was the time of the bear child. Every day is naughty and mischievous, and I don't know how many troubles have been caused.
While talking, the mother-in-law spoke out, but it was Jia Lian who came back.
Ping'er hurriedly got up, opened the curtain, and Jia Lian walked in.
"How's it getting better today?" Jia Lian came over as he spoke, and his hand was about to touch Sister Feng'er's calf.
Wang Xifeng's hand was quick, his hand twitched slightly, frowned, and said, "This is how much effort we have?" It will not take until January or February to see an improvement. Sniffed, and said, "Where are you going to drink yellow soup?" The smell of alcohol smoked to death. β
Jia Lian said: "Today, Brother Zhen has a banquet, and Brother Rong and Brother Qiang are messing around, so I will drink two more glasses." β
Wang Xifeng wondered: "What kind of wine did Brother Zhen invite for no reason?" β
Jia Lian smiled meaningfully and said, "Today, You Lao'an has led the second sister and the third sister to the door. β
"Again?" Since Qin Keqing passed away, Second Sister You and Third Sister You have gradually grown up, and their origins and falls have become more and more marked.
Wang Xifeng said that Mrs. You wanted Second Sister You and Third Sister You to continue Jia Rong's strings, but it was rumored that Jia Zhen and the second sister and the third sister were not jealous, and there was a faint intention of flirting and scolding.
And since Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen has accepted a few concubines, indulging in lust all day long, and Ning Guofu has a bad reputation. Because Wang Xifeng was bored in his heart, he frowned and said: "I will go to the east less in the future, and I will drink too much yellow soup, so I can't say that I can't do such shameless things!" β
"Heh, did you say anything?" Jia Lian leaned over and whispered in his ear, Wang Xifeng was suddenly shocked.
looked at Jia Lian in astonishment: "Still, can it be like this?" Brother Jane and Brother Rong ......"
Jia Lian's heart was itching, not without envy, but he said in his mouth: "We can't control the affairs of Dongfu." Eh, don't spread the word. β
"I was so frightened when I heard it, who would spread such a bad thing!"
Jia Lian said again: "Brother Fang Cairong said, the kid from Lai Sheng's family has gone to the house of Brother Jian to be a servant?" β
"And what's going on?"
Jia Lian said: "Brother Rong said that this guy's hands and feet are not clean, and he has taught him twice, Xu is scared, so he begged Brother Zhen to let go of the deed." Tsk, I didn't expect to go to Brother Jian's house again. β
Wang Xifeng suddenly fell into his heart and said, "When you turn around, you have to talk to Hongyu, Ping'er, this matter has been recorded." β
"Hey, I made a note of it, Grandma."
Jia Lian said: "I'm just afraid that it's not just that my hands and feet are not clean, but Brother Rong mentions that guy with hatred, and he also says that when he sees him one day, he will definitely give him a good son." β
The husband and wife gossiped for a while, and Jia Lian smiled and said, "Feng'er, it's been more than ten days, look at meβ" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ping'er on the side.
Ping'er knew what she meant, and suddenly turned her head away in shame.
Wang Xifeng sneered and said, "My second master is so kind, and he still knows that he will say something to me, so it was the idea of coming to Ping'er again." Well, in this case, Ping'er will sleep with the second master at night. Why don't I go out and make room for you? β
"Well, what did you sayβ"
Jia Lian rubbed his hands and didn't finish speaking, so he heard Ping'er say: "It's not a coincidence, Tiankui just came today, and the second master should sleep in the study by himself." β
Wang Xifeng snorted and laughed, Jia Lian blinked, suddenly became angry, got up and flicked his sleeves, said 'bad luck' and left in a sullen manner.
As soon as he left, Wang Xifeng said: "If you don't have time, let him eat the sweetness once, otherwise he won't be full, I'm afraid that he will always have to worry about the outside." β
Ping'er said: "Grandma, I'm telling the truth, I'm really here today." β
Wang Xifeng smiled and didn't speak, where could he believe in his heart?
The next day, after breakfast, Wang Xifeng was explaining the matter with a few housekeepers, and Laiwang's daughter-in-law came to report: "Grandma, the little girl next to Uncle Li came to send an object to grandma." β
"Objects?" Wang Xifeng wondered in his heart, he didn't know what Li Weijian had sent, and hurriedly asked, "Is it all there, or is it just for me." β
Laiwang's daughter-in-law smiled and said, "This time it's for grandma." As he spoke, he beckoned backwards: "Come in." β
The curtain was opened, and two rough maids brought in a chair on wheels. Wang Xifeng swept the volume, and saw that there were narrow tires on both sides, half iron and half wood, and the backrest and armrests were also carved with bird and beast patterns.
Wang Xifeng thought of the usefulness after a little thought, and suddenly smiled: "What kind of statement is this?" β
Laiwang's daughter-in-law said with a smile: "The little guy said that the fourth master of Jian thought about his grandmother's inconvenience, so he ordered the man to make this wheelchair, saying that if he sat on it, he could walk around by someone pushing him." β
Ping'er suddenly said happily: "Grandma, try it." β
At that moment, Ping'er and her mother-in-law helped Wang Xifeng to get off the kang and sat in a wheelchair, Ping'er pushed it herself, and walked back and forth in the room. Wang Xifeng suddenly giggled: "Eh, look at Brother Jian's thoughts, I can use it when I see that my wheelchair hurts my legs and feet, and I can use it when I am old." If you set up a factory and build it, even if you can't get rich and expensive, you can't run away from making a small fortune. β
After a pause, he hurriedly said to Laiwang's daughter-in-law: "Can that little guy go?" β
"Back to grandma, I'm still waiting outside the door to reply."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "If you go and say, just say that you will thank Brother Jian for me, and when I am healed, I will definitely come to thank you." β
Lai Wang's daughter-in-law responded, Wang Xifeng said again: "It's not good to pick the door, go and reward that little guy for a lot of money to eat and drink." β
Ping'er went to Neizhong to take out a string of money and handed it to Laiwang's daughter-in-law, and Laiwang's daughter-in-law retreated.
Wang Xifeng was interested at this time, hurriedly changed her clothes, and ordered Ping'er to push her out. It's okay to be flat, but it's a bit difficult to cross the threshold. Later, Ping'er thought of a way, found two boards, and built a bridge when crossing the threshold, so she pushed Wang Xifeng to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.
I didn't mention it for the time being, but I said that my daughter-in-law came out of the door, laughed and talked to the little guy, and rewarded a string of money, and suddenly felt that this little guy was so familiar, because he asked: "Look at the little brother's familiarity, is it also near here?" β
Lai Shangwen smiled and said: "How did I forget that I am Lai Shangwen." β
"Blind! I almost forgot, are you running an errand in the Fourth Master Mansion now? β
"Exactly. It's not early, come and go back, I have to go back. β
Laiwang's daughter-in-law responded, and watched Lai Shangwen go out of the corner door, and her face suddenly sank. secretly scolded Lai Shangwen for his shit luck, the front foot was just forced out of the Ning State Mansion, and the back foot actually went to the Jian Siye Mansion. Anyone can see that the fourth master of Jian is a hundred times stronger than Ning Guofu.
But it was said that Lai Shangwen was out of Rongguo's mansion and swayed towards Ningrong Street. It was still early to think about it, so I wanted to find a gambling stall to play with my hands, but as soon as I got out of Ningrong Street, a carriage came to meet me, and the person inside lifted the curtain and was looking at the outside, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lai Shangwen, and immediately shouted: "Lai Shangwen? Stop the car! β
The carriage stopped abruptly, and Lai Shangwen shrank his neck in fright, and he was about to run away in a panic. Fang ran out a few steps, and was surrounded by the accompanying little guy with a smile and a grin.
"Second Brother Lai, where is this going?"
"I haven't seen each other for a long time, but our brothers are close."
At this time, Jia Rong jumped down from the carriage gloomily, took a few steps and kicked Lai Shangwen's waist, and Lai Shangwen suddenly became a rolling gourd.
"Lai Shangwen, do you still know your Uncle Rong?"
Lai Shangwen said with a sad face: "Uncle Rong, the silver has been returned, you-"
"Phew! It's a thousand taels, and you only paid back a hundred taels, but what about the remaining nine hundred taels? β
"Huh?"
"Don't believe me?" Jia Rong took out the IOU from her bosom, spread it out and put it in front of Lai Shangwen: "Hey, open your dog's eyes and take a closer look, is this a thousand taels or a hundred taels?" β
Lai Shangwen fixed his eyes and looked at it, and it was really a thousand taels written on it. He is a rooster and dog thief, where do you not know that Jia Rong's way? Regardless of self-knowledge, the amount of the IOU must have been written in cuttlefish juice, and after he signed and drew a pledge, he wrote a thousand taels with pen and ink again.
Plop -
The IOU was withdrawn, and he raised his foot and kicked on Lai Shangwen's chest: "In black and white, even if you make trouble with the yamen, I am justified." Tell me when the debt will be repaid! β
Lai Shangwen simply lay on the ground, and said with a sad face: "Uncle Rong, even if you crush the small bone scum, it is not worth a thousand taels." β
"Don't fucking cry poor, your uncle's family spent 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to repair the garden, don't you know about me?"
"This ...... That's uncle, what does it have to do with me? β
Lai Shangwen really has no money. Wu Haining made a sample before, and Lai Shangwen saw that he stole a snuff bottle and sold it, so he naturally moved his mind. However, Li Weijian's study is too plain, and there are a few books, pens and inks, and Lai Shangwen only took the opportunity to steal two lake pens, but they were sold for three hundred yuan, and it was not enough to stuff his teeth.
Seeing that someone was watching in the distance, Jia Rong opened her mouth, and a few little people dragged Lai Shangwen away, and he was in the corner of the wall.
Jia Rong said compassionately: "If you dare to touch your Uncle Rong's woman, Uncle Rong will teach you to be a good man." There are nine hundred taels left, and there is no less than that. Set off for half a month, after a while, don't care about me counting you as money. β
Lai Shangwen kowtowed and begged for mercy, but he really didn't have any money.
Jia Rong was annoyed: "How many things did you steal from me, and now that you have gone to the Li family, you won't do the same?" β
Lai Shangwen said: "The small study is taken care of, there are a few things in it, where is the oil and water-"
"Idiot!" Jia Rong scolded, and suddenly her heart moved: "How much money is the object?" The things in the study are really valuable! β
Jia Rong blurted out, the more she pondered, the more excited she became!
Who is Li Weijian? Recognized as the God of Wealth! When the surname Li was still sour Xiucai, every day the family would go into the study to write and paint, and the water affairs, Xishan coal mine, cement business and steam engine factory could not be all figured out at that time.
By the way, there is also the warm shed, which looks inconspicuous, and it is also forty or fifty thousand silver a year!
Ning Guofu sent Qin Keqing and almost wiped out his family's funds. Jia Zhen is also lustful, but pity Jia Rong's serious 800 Ningguo Mansion sister-in-law, who only has 20 taels of monthly money. What is twenty taels enough? When I went to Jinxiangyuan to meet the girl, I had a tea circle and it was gone.
Jia Rong didn't expect any water and cement services in her heart, so she was satisfied with stealing a living like a greenhouse.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, Jia Rong rubbed her hands and leaned over to lower her voice and said, "Idiot, you listen carefully, the paper in the study surnamed Li is valuable!" If you steal something useful, the nine hundred taels will be written off. We've got our business over! β
Lai Shangwen was suspicious: "Really? β
Jia Rong sneered and said, "Me? Will you be a minion? β
Lai Shangwen didn't say anything, just stared at his sleeve. Jia Rong's face turned red, coughed, and changed her words: "Isn't this a lesson for you." Don't you out, do you want to do it? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Lee House.
On a leisurely day, after breakfast in the morning, there was a little maid chirping and saying, and the plum blossoms bloomed in the side garden. It happened that there was a snow last night, so Qingwen and Xiangling discussed walking around the garden. Xiu Ying was in agreement, Fu Qiufang was the oldest, and now she was twenty-two, she was embarrassed to play with Qingwen and others, and Hongyu was busy taking care of the greenhouse, because Li Weijian led Qingwen, Xiangling, Xiuying, and Bitong to the side garden to play naughty.
After a walk, seeing several women building snowmen, Li Weijian took his hands and wandered around on his own. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Wu Haining coming from afar, and Li Weijian paced to the front.
Wu Haining bowed down and said, "Master, I really let you guess, there are really spies in the family." β
"Qu Si, who played the shift, had a secret meeting with someone in the teahouse yesterday. Second Brother Ding stared at the man, almost lost him several times, and finally saw that person enter the Shen Criminal Division. β
Li Weijian: "......"
He couldn't help but wonder, why did the Prudential Division target him? Could it be that he has a virtue with the former Ming Jinyiwei, and the ministers of the government and the opposition have a visit to the house?
He didn't do anything wrong, because he said, "Don't pay attention to this person." Is there anything else on the side? β
"Yes." Wu Haining said again: "The Hu account room went around the imperial city three times, and then went to the Zhongshun Palace, and came out after staying for half an hour. β
Li Wei was frugal: "I just wondered if the king of loyalty would not be honest." β
Since he lost a big loss in the stock exchange earlier, the king of Zhongshun can be said to have a bad year. Not to mention the long history, following the Yangzhou salt case, completely cut off most of its financial routes. The saint, the loyal and brave king, and even Yan Xiyao, the loyal king did not dare to provoke, Li Weijian had an unstable foundation after all, because it was the loyal king who hit Li Weijian on the head.
Regardless of whether it is a mistake or omission, or a recipe is stolen, it is a profitable livelihood. Because although the account room was found by the new long history, it was personally received by the king of Zhongshun every time. However, after two years, Li Weijian has not made any mistakes or omissions, and the Hu account room can't enter the study, so he can only cry out in vain.
At this time, Wu Haining hadn't figured out Li Weijian's thoughts, so he said: "Master, don't talk about the head of the Criminal Division, the Hu account room...... Did you find an excuse to send it away? β
"What are you doing? It's useful to keep it. β
Time passed, Wu Haining bowed down to receive the order, and did not ask much.
Li Weijian then asked: "Ba Duoming, is there a quasi-letter?" β
Wu Haining said: "Brother Ding also said yesterday that Xiyi likes to go to the left and right of the Wubei Courtyard when he has nothing to do, and he often sits in the teahouse for most of the day. β
"Hmm." Li Weijian paced and pondered, and only said after a while: "When I look back, I will hear the news, that is, when I moved away from Rongguo Mansion, I left a lot of pictures. β
"Yes, the little ones will do it when they go back." After a pause, he said, "Master, Lai Shangwen came back just now, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he kept scolding Jia Rong in his mouth." Small clichΓ©, that guy said, Jia Rong cheated and tricked him into signing an IOU of 1,000 taels. I see that kid's eyes are spinning, and he must have some bad idea. β
Li Weijian's smile was even bigger. Well, great! The drawings were stolen, it was Lai Shangwen who stole the things, Jia Rong was behind the scenes, and it was King Zhongshun who got the letter and denounced it. That Zhongshun King has an enmity with the Jia family, and if he gets such an opportunity, he will definitely kill the Jia family!
From beginning to end, he, Li Weijian, stayed out of the matter, and no one could find fault with him.
"Very good, go down and finish what I told you, master."
Wu Haining took the order and left. Li Weijian stopped beside the bamboo forest, and secretly thought about the details inside, and suddenly saw Wu Haiping looking for it quickly. Before he got close, he said: "Master, I just got the letter, and the King of Zhongyong led Wuyi Town to pass through Xiangshan this time." β
Li Weijian wondered: "Didn't you say that there is still one day? How can it be so fast? β
Wu Haiping said: "I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Beijing camp are like arrows, so I quickly stepped up and stepped up the pace." β
Xiangshan is not far from Jingshi, and it is a half-day walk for most of the day. The army of the Western Expedition is like an arrow, and I am afraid that I will be able to reach Beijing in time.
King Zhongyong is Li Weijian's thigh, no matter what, he has to go out of the city to greet him. Li Weijian immediately returned to the inner house and explained to Fu Qiufang, who hurriedly moved the full set of dresses out of the cage.
After another hour, there is a small yellow gate to inform that the army of the Western Expedition returned triumphantly, and the saint went out of the city for ten miles to greet him, and was surrendered in the Taimiao to offer prisoners and sacrifices to the ancestors and ancestors.
Li Weijian suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and the latter two were just that, I heard that the Donggui army happened to be walking with the royal family of the Boni Kingdom, and they could go out of the city for ten miles to greet them...... Isn't that a bit too much?
King Zhongyong almost died, and Emperor Zhenghe felt sorry for his younger brother, so he made such a big fanfare?
After receiving the king's order, Li Weijian did not dare to slack off, changed his sacrificial clothes, and was afraid of inconvenience by car, so he simply rode a horse and led the guards to go out of the city.
The road was really congested, and before the court went down at this time, the officials and people who got the letter went to the west one after another, and they also bumped into many colleagues in the inner government on the way.
stayed outside the city, but after waiting for an hour, the royal driver and the civil and military officials came in a mighty manner. Four thousand forbidden troops accompanied the escort, and there were Han generals traveling in formation, and everywhere the royal car went, the people knelt on the ground one after another, and the mountains shouted long live.
It took a full hour to welcome ten miles away, and the civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and they saw a vote of people coming from a distance to hit the official road in the west.
Before the team got close, King Zhongyong turned over and dismounted, and as soon as he raised his hand, Wu Yizhen knelt on one knee and fell to the ground, and the mountain shouted long live.
Zhenghe Emperor Yan Dayue personally served the wine cup and drank with the Loyal and Brave King, and took off the armor for him with his own hands, and then put the Loyal and Brave King's arm together to go to the royal car.
King Zhongyong was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, so he shirked again and again, and the saint stopped his thoughts. After that, the two teams converged to make a team, sounded the gong to open the way, and the royal chariot walked around the city, and only arrived at the Taimiao when it was Shen.
After that, he was surrendered and sacrificed to the Taimiao, and the noon gate Lubu was not mentioned. When all the work is done, it will be dark. The soldiers of Wuyi Town went to Beijing to settle down, and the sage gave him wine and meat early, and ordered him to have a three-day banquet before stopping.
The civil and military officials returned home, and Emperor Zhenghe really missed his brother, so he simply dragged King Zhongyong to the imperial city.
King Zhongyong was helpless, thinking that it would be better to follow his brother, otherwise the saint would not be able to do anything out of the ordinary under the great joy.
At this time, I listened to the sage: "It's not Li Weijian who is wrong, the fourth child is dangerous this time." β
Thinking of all the things of that day, King Zhongyong nodded again and again: "What the sage said, what he said was ugly, and the ministers even wrote a suicide note." I didn't want to be rescued by Li Fusheng with a crooked idea. β
The sage smiled and said, "How can the fourth brother repay him? β
King Zhongyong just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The sage quipped: "I think Mengqing will be old in two years, so it's better to-"
"No way!" King Zhongyong suddenly blew his beard and glared, and immediately realized that something was wrong, so he changed his words: "Didn't Li Fusheng already decide on his family?" Mengqing can't be a wife for others, right? β
The saint suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said with a smile: "Fourth, fourth, I know your precious daughter, but there is no such treasure." According to your temperament, why don't you stay in Mengqing for the rest of your life without marrying? β
King Zhongyong sneered: "Li Fusheng is too romantic and inappropriate. β
The saint stopped laughing and said, "No matter how you say it, it is also a life-saving grace." Well...... I have a way to repay a little bit. β
"Oh? Please also ask the saint to speak clearly. β
Emperor Zhenghe smiled and said: "Lin Hai's daughter has become an orphan girl now, I'm afraid that life will not be easy." β
King Zhongyong pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I see, the minister understands." β
