Liaodong, Shenyang Zhongwei.
After Wang Shouren sent troops to the grassland, Shenyang Zhongwei continued to transport grain and grass supplies from Nuergandusi. Every day, a large amount of grain and grass were transferred through Shenyang Zhongwei and sent from Liaodong to North Liaoning. land.
As for the father and son of the Zhang family, Zhang Ye and Zhang Ping, since they returned from a trip to North Korea to transport grain, they have stayed in Shenyang Zhongwei as grain supervisors. Their errands are nominally Supervise the transportation of food, but because the two of them don't even have a rank, they are at best slaves working for the army. They do the hardest work and get the smallest salary. They can only maintain food and clothing every day, and then stay away from the front lines and battlefields. It seems that Never get over it.
After a busy day, the father and son returned to their residence one after another, which was the military camp dormitory prepared for them.
Zhang Ye went back earlier and had already prepared meals, but Zhang Ping looked unkempt when he came back.
"Son, I was dragged to resist the goods again today." Zhang Ye felt sorry for his son when he saw his condition.
Zhang Ping sat down, as if he was too tired to even speak. After nodding with a sad face, he picked up his rice bowl, but did not move his chopsticks.
Zhang Ye said, "Eat quickly, eat quickly. I have written to your mother and asked her to send some money and clothes. We, father and son, will have to stay here this winter."
< p>Zhang Ping turned his head and looked pitifully at his old father and asked, "Why don't we go back?""What are you going back for?" Zhang Ye said, "Your second uncle is so powerful now, we still have some hope here. , if you go back to Nanjing, you will have nothing."
"But Dad, I heard from the military supervisor that my second uncle has been transferred to Nanjing to be the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is in Nanjing. , why do we have to work as coolies in a bitter and cold place like Liaodong?" Zhang Ping was a little sad.
In his opinion, the old father seemed to have been fooled by his second uncle.
Zhang Ye rolled his sleeves and said, "Listen to those people's nonsense. Your second uncle is the Duke of the country. How can he be the Minister of War? This man is too high. It's impossible. They just know the identities of our father and son." , deliberately sowing discord."
At this point, even Zhang Ye felt very depressed.
At first, Zhang Zhou’s identity as brother allowed them to enjoy a lot of conveniences in Liaodong. Especially when they walked out of Shanhaiguan to defect to Zhang Zhou, the enthusiastic attitude of the officers along the way made Zhang Ye feel like he was in the middle of nowhere. Heaven.
But now
Everyone seems to know that the Zhang brothers are at odds, and there are rumors that the elder brother is so mean that he looked down upon Duke Lai when he was in despair. People are low, and then Lai Guogong becomes prosperous
A typical inspirational drama, but unfortunately in the drama, Zhang Ye is a negative example of short-sightedness, and then everyone knows that Zhang Zhou left the father and son as coolies in Liaodong How fawning others were to them at first, now those officials are so mean to them.
"Dad, let's go. Back to Nanjing, even if you let your mother be the head of the family, there will be nothing wrong with it." Zhang Ping seemed sad.Ask for a general answer.
Zhang Ye took a mouthful of food and complained, "I don't even have a mouthful of food. Do you think I don't want to leave?"
At this point, Zhang Ye seemed to be angry and said "But only by enduring hardships can one become a master. My son, just think of this as your second uncle's test for us. Once we have endured all the hardships, we will be like a village again." /p>
Zhang Ping said, "Dad, I have to go back and take the imperial examination."
"Go ahead and think of your Spring and Autumn Dream as your second uncle. Until now, your father and I have neither Understand how he got into the first prize. The Zhang family’s fortune fell on him alone, so stop struggling.”
It means that your second uncle has won the lottery. According to the bomb crater theory, the same good thing cannot happen to the Zhang family twice, so don't be like a dream and work hard.
Or go and get rich with your second uncle.
"Dad, is it because you were looking for a woman outside and your mother discovered it, so you don't dare to go back?"
"Fart, you kid, don't talk nonsense, the Song family The young widow just met me twice and wanted to sell off her family's ancestral property to prevent it from being taken away by the Song family. It was a business deal and I really had nothing to do with her."
"Oh."
"You boy, your father and I worked hard to raise you, and now I bring you out to work hard, and you still want to cause trouble"
"Dad, I was wrong, I want to eat I also want to go back to the south before winter. I miss home."
The father and son have been struggling.
There seems to be no hope. On this day, Governor Lu Wan sent someone to inspect. Zhang Ye specially used Zhang Zhou's identity to go over and talk to the people in the governor's Yamen. The main purpose was to exchange for something. A more relaxed working environment.
By the way.
Zhang Ye also wanted to know when Zhang Zhou would come to Liaodong again and pick up the father and son.
"The eldest master of the Zhang family has admired Mr. Lai Guo for a long time and has become the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. I'm afraid he won't come to Liaodong in a short time." The subordinate officer of the governor's Yamen spoke politely.
When Zhang Ye heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Why is his brother-in-law already a minister?"
It belongs to the official way: "I and other outsiders can't interfere with the Zhang family's family affairs, otherwise You can write and ask. I also heard that neither your father nor your son are from the military. Since you are both employed as craftsmen, if you find it difficult, you can go to Nanjing to find Duke Lai."
This means that you can stay if you want, and you can leave at any time if you don't want to.
Although it is an honor for us that Duke Lai Guogong’s eldest brother and nephew stay in Liaodong, we who are on errands for the court do not want to cause trouble for ourselves.
If you and your son go to other places, the generals in other states will be the best.
Zhang Ye hurriedly asked, "Can we make a point first?"
The subordinate officer glanced at Zhang Ye.
The look in his eyes was like looking at a monster.
You two, father and son, know that coming to Liaodong means suffering.Yes, you still insist on coming, and you find this place is a hard job. You want to leave, but you haven't even saved up the money. So what are you doing?
"I can't do anything." The subordinate officer didn't want to talk to Zhang Ye, so he turned around and Take people away.
Ever since Zhang Ye found out that Zhang Zhou had been transferred to Nanjing to be the Minister of War, he was holding back his anger. He felt that he had been let down by his younger brother.
"Dad, do you really want to leave now?" Zhang Ping asked.
"Yes." Zhang Ye lay on the bunk on one side and looked at the thatched roof.
Zhang Ping hurriedly asked "When will we leave?"
The person sleeping next door scolded him, "Keep your voice down, don't disturb other people's dreams."
Zhang Ping said dissatisfied, "The snoring is so loud, why don't you talk about them?"
"Young man from the Zhang family, don't be shameless. If you have the ability to go back to sleep in a big bed, don't do this." "Stay." Most of the people lying on the bunk were big and thick men, so naturally they would not look down upon Zhang Ping.
"Forgive me, forgive me." Zhang Ye quickly apologized, pulled his son to lie down, and whispered, "Aren't you saving money? Otherwise, we wouldn't have moved here. We will live here for a month. I can save fifty cents and save it until the end of the year. It will be enough."
Zhang Ping asked, "What if I buy more clothes and bedding before winter?"
< p>Zhang Ye said helplessly, "Let's wait until next spring before leaving. After leaving this military camp, is there a place for us and my son to stay outside?"The father and son fell into silence at the same time.
After a while, Zhang Ye looked sideways and found that his son was facing away from him and his body was shaking slightly. Then he pulled his son over and said, "You brat, don't say you are crying. A man cannot shed tears."
Zhang Ping said, "Dad, if mom can send us some money, we can leave."
Zhang Ye said helplessly, "Silly boy, dad was fooling you before, but now I have to Looking for someone to give you money? How can anyone in Nanjing come to Shenyang? There are not even people doing business here. You know I need to find someone to send a message to your mother. How much money do they want? Do you still want to go back to Nanjing?"
Zhang Ping asked, "After we return to Nanjing, will my mother not treat me well?"
This time it was Zhang Ye's turn to sigh.
When almost everyone around him fell asleep and snored one after another, Zhang Yecai said to his son’s back, "This is fate. The first half of my life was too smooth. The ancestors of the old Zhang family are here." It’s up to us to repay him, otherwise why would his penis become rich and it would be our turn to suffer?”
In the next few days, Zhang Ping worked as usual.
Zhang Ye, on the other hand, walked out of the military camp without any problems and tried to sell some things. He sold everything he could, and also worked for others, trying to earn a few more pennies back. This was for Make preparations to leave Shenyang City as soon as possible.
On this day, Zhang Ye left the military camp and helped push several carts of swill. When he came back, he was thinking about finding a place to enjoy the bathhouse in the north, and he was worried about how little money he had.
He hurried to get there before noonWe returned to the military camp in time for lunch.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the military camp, he saw a man in official uniform standing there, greeting him from a distance, "Isn't that what I said, here I come."
Zhang Ye He hurriedly walked over and said, "Guys, I just have some housework to do. I just went out to finish it, so I'm not running away."
The official smiled and said, "Sir, you are really joking. I will give it to you here first." Congratulations."
"What?" Zhang Ye was still a little confused.
As he was talking, Zhang Ping ran out of the military camp, followed by a large group of people watching the fun. It was lunch time, and I heard that there was a lot of fun here, almost the entire military camp. people all ran out.
"Dad, they seem to say that the rewards from the imperial court are coming. They are based on merit." Zhang Ping was also a little excited.
The official smiled and said, "These two are the elder brother and nephew of Lai Guogong, right? The eldest master of the Zhang family and the eldest young master of the Zhang family have received the decree of the imperial court to award rewards, and the emperor personally issued the decree. Because Duke Lai planned the northwest battle and Xin Xin Bo Yu defeated the Hulu in the grassland, he specially rewarded the eldest son of the Zhang family as Nanjing Jinyiwei Qianhu, and the Zhang family eldest son as Nanjing Jinyiwei deputy Qianhu
Originally Zhu Youtang I wanted to give Zhang Ping a hundred households, but then I gave it directly to the deputy Qian Hu, which means that you and your son will go to Nanjing as my errands.
"Qian Hu?" After hearing this, Zhang Ye felt a little dizzy. .
The official said, "It's like this. What you two received directly is the real vacancy. Jinyiwei also sent a dozen people to escort you to Nanjing for your appointment, official certificates, official uniforms, etc." All brought to you. In addition, Lu Zhongcheng, the governor of Liaodong, specially hosted a banquet at his house to entertain the two of you tonight. You two should quickly pack up and prepare to go to the banquet."
Hearing this, Zhang Ye and his son seemed to be going crazy.
The father and son hugged each other. Then, regardless of the strange looks from the people around them, the father and son hugged each other and cried with joy.
Everyone around them was stunned.
Especially because many people didn’t know about the Zhang family. What is the identity? I don’t know what the lack of Jinyiwei Qianhu means.
“What’s wrong with them?”
“Jinyiwei Qianhu, don’t you know that Jinyiwei can kill people. "
"My dear, I didn't give you the money you borrowed from me a few days ago. He won't kill me, right?"
"Haven't you heard that even the governor of Liaodong hosted a banquet? . ”
“Although they are unremarkable in appearance, they are the eldest brother and nephew of Lord Lai Guo, with unusual backgrounds. ”
“You can’t see the mountain without seeing it”
The father and son were so excited that they quickly packed up all their belongings and followed the officials to the governor’s Yamen to deal with it.
p>
When they arrived,
Lu Wan came out to greet them and warmly invited them into the inner house to the banquet table specially prepared for them.
"Two of them. For those of you who have not yet changed into official uniforms, please quickly ask Zhang Qianhu and his son to go to the inner house to change clothes. "Lu Wan understands the rules of officialdom very well.
He ignored the Zhang family and his son before because there was no need for any contact. Now the emperor remembers to promote the Zhang family and his son, which means that the emperor may want to promote reconciliation within the Zhang family. This may be some preparation for Zhang Zhou's reputation as filial piety.
After all, the emperor also admired filial piety and righteousness. Even if there was disharmony within the Zhang family, the emperor wanted to help reconcile it.
Besides, the eldest father and son of the Zhang family were working in Liaodong. No matter how well they did, at least they were sincere.
When the Zhang family father and son came out dressed in awkward brocade uniforms, Lu Wan couldn't help but laugh after looking at them.
Sure enough, wearing dragon robes doesn’t look like a prince. Maybe Zhang Ye and his son are not destined to be officials. It may also be that the official uniforms themselves are not tailor-made, so they don’t look like princes when they wear them. Like an errand, more like an opera singer.
At the banquet.
Lu Wan did not call anyone else to come. He wanted to contact people from the Zhang family, which was equivalent to a private relationship and should not be publicized.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. When I return to Nanjing, I will definitely talk to my brother-in-law about your care for my father and son." Zhang Ye seemed to understand the rules and vowed to do so. Go back to find your brother to intercede with Lu Wan.
Lu Wan smiled and said, "I just learned that His Majesty has transferred Duke Lai to the north, and Duke Lai is no longer taking office in Nanjing."
"He was transferred so quickly"< /p>
Zhang Ye was also a little confused.
I am still waiting to go to Nanjing to thank my brother and learn from him how to be an official.
Tell me now that my younger brother is no longer an official in Nanjing
Lu Wandao said, "Although the court has no explicit instructions on Lai Guogong's next errand, it is expected that after he is transferred back to the capital, He is going to take over as the Minister of the Ministry of War.”
“The Minister of the Ministry of War is no longer the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.” Zhang Ye exclaimed, “It’s amazing. He just passed the Jinshi exam. I didn’t expect him to be promoted so quickly. He is indeed a thief from the ancestral grave. "Green smoke."
"What Zhang Qianhu said?" Lu Wan even pretended not to hear.
Zhang Ye smiled bitterly and said, "It's nothing. It's my younger brother who is lucky. He can do so many things for the court. I haven't seen him have much ability before. His life is too good."
"Haha. Come, have a drink." Lu Wan was very polite and poured wine for Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye was also very sensible and quickly stood up to toast Lu Wan.
After being polite, Zhang Ye and his son stayed at the governor's Yamen for the night.
Lu Wan was also very considerate here, and even arranged for a maid to take care of him. After Zhang Ye had a drink, he thought that he had become a member of the Imperial Guard, and he was filled with pride and drunkenness. Then he treated the maid rudely.
But she still has experience in serving women.
These kind of guests who just put on their pants and leave after eating and wiping up, they have more experience, so they will not be easily succeeded by Zhang Ye.
The two maids worked together to push Zhang Ye down on the couch. Zhang Ye couldn't even push his legs.In the end, he was almost tied to it, and then the maids left carrying the basin.
"That's great."
Even so, Zhang Ye still had a "happy" smile on his face.
After being out for so long, it seemed like the first time I had contact with a woman. Although the result was not very friendly, the process was still worth recalling.
Early the next morning, the people from Jin Yiwei who came to meet him had already arrived.
The carriage is ready, and there are also customs clearance documents and other documents. After the father and son receive the order, they can go directly to the Nanjing Jinyiwei's Yamen to report. As for the actual duties of which thousand households in Nanjing Thousands of households, but no specific appointment has been made.
"Son, what are you doing?"
The father was drunk yesterday, which didn't do him any good, but looking at Zhang Ping, something seemed wrong.
When Zhang Ping came out, his face was red.
Zhang Ping said, "Dad, let's go."
Zhang Ye seemed to have realized something, and sighed, "It's good to be young. Okay, you have the charm of your father and me when we were young." ”
Lu Wan didn’t come out to see him off, but many people from the governor’s office came out to look familiar.
What Zhang Ye actually wanted to see the most was the people in the military camp who had bullied his father and son, but unfortunately those people's official positions were not high. In such a big scene of sending thousands of royal guards to thousands of households, those people were Not eligible to attend.
On the carriage.
Zhang Ye said to Zhang Ping, "When we, father and son, arrive in Nanjing, we will not go home to see your mother. Your father and I want to divorce your mother. It is because your mother missed the important event for us and our son. From now on, we will The father and son have made a name for themselves in Jinyiwei."
Zhang Ping said, "Dad, are you still drunk?"
"Humph, you think you are talking nonsense as a father? You are not telling the truth." Yes, as a father, what kind of tigresses like your mother have you experienced in these years? I just didn’t deal with her before, but now that we have become Jin Yiwei, we are still afraid of her."
Zhang Ye is full of pride.
It seems that he has forgotten that he was a little person who was bullied yesterday, and the swill in the car seems to be a reflection of his life.
Zhang Ping said, "Don't tell me what dad wants to do. I just have an idea. Can I get married as soon as possible after I go back?"
"Okay, you are now the Deputy Qian of Jinyiwei." In the future, you will inherit the position of your father and me as a thousand households. From now on, you can choose any girl from a wealthy family and I will help you find a rich lady." Zhang Ye said like he was bragging, with expectations in his eyes, "When you get back. , Dad will take another concubine, no, it will be a new one, and then we, father and son, will take care of the matter together."
Zhang Ping couldn't help frowning when he heard this.
I thought to myself, why does this sound so awkward?
My father has suffered so much in the first half of his life and now he wants to vent it all out
No wonder Even though he knew it was embarrassing, he still brought me to join my second uncle. His love was just for one day. If he wanted to set up his own business, please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
