Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1003 Sister-in-law is back

Wang Ruohai smiled bitterly and said: "There is no reason to be suspicious of your Majesty, which is something no minister dares to do."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that I dare not do anything, but that I can't be suspicious of you in front of others. There's no way, the emperor's authority is so heavy that others don't dare to raise their heads behind their backs. You can just say what you want, If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I will judge in my heart whether you are leaning towards me or the emperor."

Chen Qiudao said: "Is there anything you dare not say? Just let it be judged according to reason! After Jingkang, today's people are wandering around, including Xuanfu and other heroes. Some are really like rogue bandits, making trouble everywhere, like Li Cheng , Kong Yanzhou and others. But there are still heroes like Xuanfu who only focus on fighting the Jin soldiers. The officers and soldiers led by the officials could not defeat the Jin soldiers, so Xuanfu had to form his own faction and fight against the Jin soldiers for years. Today, Xuanfu Sitting on an army of 300,000 people, so what? If the officials are suspicious of Xuanfu and even want to get rid of him, it means that he is not suitable to be the emperor! If not, he is worthy of Xuanfu's support. If Xuanfu wants to ask me for support Who, because the official family has not done anything extraordinary, of course supports the emperor. It just caused the ministers to be on guard, so I support Xuanfu. In short, on the surface, the purpose of Xuanfu and the official family are still the same. Support. If the officials want to deal with Xuanfu, I will support Xuanfu!"

Chen Yuyi said: "Dezhi and I have the same idea."

Wang Ruohai looked at the two of them and said, "What's the difference between my thoughts? What's difficult now is that the officials didn't say anything about dealing with Xuan Fu, but wanted to announce Fu's face. Go or not? If you go, Xuan Fu It’s dangerous, and if you don’t go, you will offend your Majesty.”

Wang Xiaolie said calmly: "You think I have to go to Xiangyang because Xiangyang is too close and you can't shirk it. What's the excuse? I just said that I was busy with business and couldn't go, and the officials even sent someone to kidnap me. ?”

After hearing this, the three people were stunned. Yes, Wang Xiaolie insisted on evading, so what about Zhao Gou? Even if he gave Zhao Gou a thousand courages, he wouldn't dare to break up with him.

Wang Xiaolie said: "At the beginning of February, you can go to Xiangyang instead of me. When you get to Xiangyang, remember to keep your mouth shut and nothing will happen."

Chen Qiudao cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Xuanfu for trusting me!"

Wang Xiaolie looked at the three of them and nodded heavily when he saw that they looked calm. Said: "It's early spring, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, let's enjoy the spring scenery."

In Zhangcun Town, Rang County, Dengzhou, Zhang Chi's father, Zhang Ding, stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the green wheat fields planted outside the village, and muttered: "This year is another good harvest year. It's such a good year now!"

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the rising sun, his heart filled with joy.

San Lang came back from outside the village wearing a green shirt. When he saw his father standing outside the village, he saluted and said, "Dad!"

Zhang Ding nodded and asked Sanlang: "You are back from school? Why didn't Wulang come back together?"

Sanlang said: "Because my fifth brother is young, the one-day holiday is too short, so he lives in the school."

Zhang Ding sighed: "Yes, Wu Lang has to go out to study at a young age. I have wronged him. Go home quickly, your mother has cooked delicious food for you."

Wulang agreed and walked quickly home.

In the second half of last year, Zhang Ding's family heard that Xiangyang Prefecture was going to do something, because Zhang Chi was an officer in Wang Xiao's hunting army, so they moved their family to Zhangcun Town, Rang County. It's not far from my hometown, the water, soil and climate are similar, so there's nothing strange about it. However, Wulang lost his willow weaving industry as a result, so he followed Zhang Chi's suggestion and enrolled in a school. I thought about going to a military academy after studying.

The Zhang family is no longer the small household it once was. It has a large yard in the village. There are gardens and pavilions in the yard. At first glance, it looks like a wealthy family. It's just that Zhang Chi followed Wang Xiaolie's idea and didn't hire servants, but only used a few bankers, which seemed a bit deserted.

Zhang Sanlang came in and went back to his residence to tidy up before going to see his mother as a gift.

My mother was basking in the sun in the yard. When she saw Zhang Sanlang come in, she said happily: "Sanlang, my son, be good, I haven't seen you for a few days. Next year, let your father build a school in our village, so you don't have to live in another village."

Zhang Sanlang said with a smile: "I will graduate next year. What's the use of building a school?" His mother said: "Wu Lang will continue to study. When Da Lang's child grows up, it is time for him to enter a school."

Zhang Sanlang said: "Mom, my eldest brother's child is only two years old. It's still early for him to enter school."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sanlang asked his mother: "My sister-in-law said she would take the child home. I remember that it will be here within a few days."

Mother said: "Yes, yes, your father visits the village entrance every day just to see if your sister-in-law has arrived. Alas, Dalang is good at everything, but he is an officer and is always stationed outside. The husband and wife cannot see each other every day. , this is not good.”

The news of Zhang Chi's promotion to the capital has spread back to his hometown, and the Zhang family and his wife praise him almost every time they meet. He boasted that his son was promising, had made great achievements in the army, and had been promoted to a high official. Explain to people how big an official Dutong is and how many people he oversees.

Zhang Sanlang has become accustomed to just laughing with him.

Having such a brother is indeed something to be proud of. When Zhang Chi was in charge, Zhang Sanlang went out to do wicker weaving business, thanks to the money sent back by his brother. Unexpectedly, within two years, my brother would be promoted and became the governor.

Zhang Sanlang now has insight and knows what Dutong means to the world. With an army of more than 20,000 people, he can dominate one side and even influence the political situation. He is a true leader of one side. It's just that Wang Xiaolie has strict control over his subordinates. If he were like the commander-in-chief of other armies, he could live like an emperor.

After comforting her mother for a few words, she let go of Dalang's thoughts. He said: "Customer Zhuang caught a lot of eels today. My sister-in-law, Liang, made a plate of eels, which are still warm. They are kept in the kitchen. You go and eat them quickly."

In the countryside, there are rice fields everywhere, and eels are not a valuable thing. However, Zhang Sanlang loves this kind of delicacy. His mother planned that he would have a day off today, so she asked Mrs. Liang, a guest from the village, to make it and put it in the kitchen.

Zhang Sanlang went to the kitchen and brought out a plate of eel. While eating, he kept talking to his mother.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door: "Is the eldest brother of the Zhang family at home?"

Zhang Sanlang hurriedly put down the bowl and ran towards the door: "I'm not at home. What's the matter?"

I ran to the door and saw Jia Sanlang, a salesman from the next village, looking at the door. He hurriedly saluted and said, "I've met Third Brother. What's the matter?"

Jia Sanlang put down his burden and said: "Today I went to Dengzhou to purchase goods. When I came back, I saw your sister-in-law going home. I am fast on my feet and got home early. Your sister-in-law asked me to tell you that she I’ll be back in the evening.”

Zhang Sanlang said hurriedly: "Thank you, Third Brother. Would you like to come in and have a bowl of tea?"

Jia Sanlang said: "No, I have to go home quickly and sort out the goods I bought on credit."

Most of today's salesmen are from supply and marketing cooperatives who advance their capital and sell goods on credit from the supply and marketing cooperatives. Although the profit is not much, the advantage is stability. Since the goods received on credit from the supply and marketing cooperative are numerous and miscellaneous, it is necessary to take inventory quickly.

After seeing off Jia Sanlang, Zhang Sanlang returned home and said to his mother: "Mom, my sister-in-law just asked Jia Sanlang from the next village to take a message. She will be home around evening."

"Sister-in-law, are you coming home today?" Mother suddenly got up from the stool. "Then you have to be well prepared to catch the wind for her. By the way, you go to the entrance of the village and tell your father that your sister-in-law will be home today, so he doesn't have to wait at the entrance of the village."
