Red House Shoufu

Chapter 314 A leisurely life and a storm in the capital

The fur of the tiger is evident from the gaps in the gaps in the fence, unleashing the majesty of the king of beasts in the sunlight.

However, Lin Shu's eyesight is very good, so he can clearly see that this should be a tiger skin, not a living tiger.

He comforted Xueyan a few words, and walked slowly to the outside of this small courtyard. Sure enough, a huge tiger skin was drying on the clothes pole, swaying in the wind.

Lin Shu looked around the yard. In addition to this tiger skin, there were several wolf and fox skins. These furs were all intact. The owner of this yard should be a good hunter, at least with extraordinary archery skills.

Xueyan excitedly pointed to the two sable furs and said, "Master, there are actually sables!"

Um?It seems that this person's hearing is also very good.

Creaking, the door opened, and a dark-skinned middle-aged man walked out of the room, followed by a woman and two four or five-year-old dolls, one male and one female, which just made up a good character.

"The villain Zhang Qian pays homage to the master!"

The voice is loud, the manners are measured, and the women who salute behind her can also show that their upbringing is not like ordinary peasant women.

"You don't need to be too polite, but I interrupted your family's meal."

Through the door frame, Lin Shu could see the food on the table in the room. He said apologetically, "I just saw this tiger skin from a distance, and thought a big bug was coming from the village, so I came closer to see it out of curiosity. Take a look. Zhang Qian, your archery looks very good!"

"Master's praise, the villain is just familiar..."

Zhang Qian's reaction to Lin Shu's praise was mediocre, he invited Lin Shu to have dinner at home, and after Lin Shu declined, he invited him to sit down on a small wooden chair in the courtyard.

Mrs. Zhang brought a pot of tea, and Lin Shu and Zhang Qian talked in the courtyard.Xueyan stood quietly behind Lin Shu, secretly calculating the value of these furs in the yard.The two intact sable and tiger skins alone are worth more than 5000 taels.

"I remember you, or I remember your name. Zhang Qian, in the winter of the 44th year of Longsheng, you and your wife were rescued by Uncle Xian in the capital city who fled from Liaodong in the winter of the [-]th year of Longsheng."

Lin Shu was very impressed with the name Zhang Qian, because Lin Xian said in a letter that he was carrying a military-style long knife, a standard hand crossbow, and a long bow.

Da Chu has very strict controls on bows and crossbows. Not to mention ordinary people, even officials and officials are not allowed to have standard bows and crossbows in their possession except for soldiers and guards who are registered with military honors.

Naturally, the Lin Family Zhuangzi would not allow people with unknown identities, but when Zhang Qian heard that it was a member of Yushi Lin's family, he did not hide his identity and revealed his identity.

It turned out that Zhang Qian was also a military family, and his father was a deputy thousand householder of Jianzhou Wei in Liaodong. Mao Lianwei is his hometown and demands that Da Chu return the territory of his hometown...

Naturally, the imperial court would not pay attention to this kind of request, and even the Supreme Emperor issued a decree to reprimand. If the storm in the capital was not approaching at that time, the imperial court could not care about Liaodong, maybe the army would have leveled Seoul long ago.

No one would have thought that from the summer of Longsheng 44, there had been many conflicts between Jianzhouwei and Goryeo. Until the autumn of Longsheng 44, the seemingly docile Koryo sent an army of [-] to storm Jianzhouwei.

When the imperial court's reinforcements arrived, although Jianzhouwei was still in the imperial court's hands, of the five thousand frontier troops, only less than 500 people were still alive.

At that time, the Supreme Emperor was busy suppressing the princelings. In addition, Gao Li sent a letter of confession first and enshrined a large amount of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and antler.

The investigation process is very complicated, but the ending is very heart-breaking.Zhang Ling, the deputy of Jianzhou Wei Qianhu, was dismissed from his post and exiled because he was good at initiating border disputes.Before leaving, Zhang Ling died inexplicably in Jianzhou Wei Prison. After hearing the news, his mother committed suicide.

It was at that time that Zhang Qian came to the capital.Lin Ruhai inquired about the specific situation from his colleagues, sat quietly in the study for a long time, and finally wrote back to let Zhang Qian and his wife live in Zhuangzi.

Lin Shu was only seven or eight years old at that time, but he clearly remembered Lin Ruhai's expression at that time.Like the collapse of faith overnight, Lin Ruhai's eyes lost the spirit of the past.

He said to Lin Shu, who was still a child: "Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, loyalty to the land under your feet, loyalty to the people of the world, loyalty to the sages and martyrs!"

Lin Ru woke up from the memory, he looked at Zhang Qian: "Are you going to stay in Zhuangzi forever?"

"Master thinks, where else can the villain go?" Zhang Qian replied in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the grandfather, the villain's family would have died in the snowdrift. The village is very good, and the villain doesn't plan to go out. , I invited Uncle Xian a long time ago, and settled down in Linjiazhuang for the villain."

"It seems that you understand what I mean, think about it yourself, I don't do things that are difficult for others."

Lin Shu got up and was about to leave. He glanced around, pointed to the two sable skins and the tiger skin and said, "If you don't need them, send these skins to another hospital, and I'll ask Uncle Xian to give you the money."

Zhang Qian cupped his hands and replied: "The villain hunts these things casually. Since the master likes it, the villain will send it to another courtyard in a while, and it will be regarded as a congratulatory gift from the villain to the master. Congratulations to the master for getting the six yuan and the name." Pass it on to the world."

Lin Shu laughed, turned around and took Xueyan away, and said as he walked: "Although this congratulation is a year late, it is quite interesting. When the child grows up, he will be sent to school. Since he has settled down in Zhuangzi, no matter you Whether the surname is Zhang or Wang or Li, they are from the Lin family."

……

Since Lin Shu was injured, the Lin family established a new generation of leadership group with Daiyu as the core.As soon as she arrived at the other courtyard, Daiyu had already summoned the stewards of Zhuangzi, listened to various reports, and arranged the next work.

Across the screen, Daiyu arranged things in an orderly manner with a crisp voice: "The seeds of corn should be selected and inspected one by one. This is not only related to our family's harvest, but also a major event for cultivating good seeds for the people of the world. It's done." , everyone here will reap supreme merit, and the government will reward them generously."

"Those ditches need to be cleaned up as soon as possible. Last year there was heavy snowfall, and the moisture content in the ground was good, but we still need to be prepared for spring drought. I will buy some chicken and duck seedlings in the village, and let people rush to the ground to plan food when they have nothing to do. Eat. My brother said that chickens and ducks can eat the eggs of locusts, which can be regarded as preventing the occurrence of locust plagues.”

"If the students in the school want to take part in this year's children's examination, they should prepare in advance. During the examination, they will live in Huanghuafang Mansion, and don't run back and forth."

"Arrange people to patrol outside Zhuangzi during this period, so don't let anyone disturb my brother's recuperation. The most important point is that no one is allowed to tell brother about the capital city and the court, otherwise he will be severely punished!"

……

After all the stewards left, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Momo handed her a cup of warm tea with distress, and helped her rub her shoulders.

"The girl should rest and rest. The housekeepers will take care of the family's affairs. The girl only needs to control the general direction."

Holding the teacup, Daiyu said with a smile, "I think it's quite interesting. If it wasn't for the steward this time, I really wouldn't know that because of a river, two Zhuangzis would fight to the death. I'm just thinking now, what should I use?" The method can resolve the conflict between the two Zhuangzi, and both use fresh water for irrigation."

It turned out that the farm in the north of the city had a fight with Zhuangzi next door for water.Although Zhuangzi of the Lin family won, he also hurt one person.

After listening to Zhuangzi's report, Daiyu transferred the nearby map and was thinking about how to solve it.She felt that she still had to think of a reasonable solution, and she couldn't fight to the death for water every year.

"The reason for the water struggle is the lack of water. If Yu'er wants to solve this problem, he still has to solve it from the water source. But it is not easy to solve this problem."

Lin Shu walked in with Xueyan's support, sat down and looked at Daiyu with a smile: "I won't get involved in this matter, but I can remind you that you can't come up with an answer just sitting at home and imagining it out of thin air." , might as well go to the field to investigate.”

"That's not necessarily the case, I already have an idea."

Daiyu smiled mischievously: "After I settle this matter, I will discuss it with my brother in detail."

"Okay, brother, wait and see!"

At this time, Lin Xian came in with a large number of various furs, and bowed to salute you two: "Patriarch, miss, Zhang Qian sent two tiger skins, two sable skins, five white fox skins, Two red fox skins, and a dozen wolf skins..."

"Good guy, did he beat up all the animals on the nearby mountain?" Lin Shu asked in surprise as he looked at the thick stack in the room.

Lin Xian sighed and said: "I don't know, the fur that Zhuangzili sends to the mansion every year is hunted back by Zhang Qian. His archery skills are superb, all the way into the skull from the eyes, the fur is not injured, and it is taken to the capital. Sell ​​it, just a piece of white fox fur can be worth hundreds of taels. This time he dragged the old slave to send it, saying that it was six yuan for Patriarch He and made him famous all over the world. Hey, the Patriarch has been in the pilot test for more than a year... "

The fur is all tanned, and the color of the fur remains the same as the original color, especially those few fox furs, which are very fond of Daiyu, and she plans to use these fox furs to make a crane cloak.Of course, sable was better, but she had a use for it.

She touched the white fox furs, raised her head and said, "I'm just looking for a reason to give you a gift, but we can't take advantage of them. Uncle Xian, first send some money from the account, which is [-]% higher than the market price." , These things are priceless.”

"What the girl said is that the old slave will take care of it." Lin Xian bowed his hands to accept the order, and then left the room after seeing Lin Shu nodded.

Daiyu picked out the two sable skins and the two tiger skins, and discussed with Lin Shu, "Brother, give one of the tiger skins to my grandmother and the other to my aunt. As for the sable skin, I will give it to you." How is sister Yuan?"

As she spoke, she blinked her big eyes twice, Lin Shu couldn't help laughing: "Now Yu'er is the head of the Lin family, and I, who is working under your hands, naturally have to listen to you."

Daiyu clapped her little hands and said with a smile: "Then it's settled, I'll send someone to the capital right now, just in time to invite sister Yuan to play in the village."

……

Lin Shu lived a carefree life outside the city, plus Daiyu blocked the news from the outside, so he naturally didn't know that the capital city has been windy and windy these past few days.

At the first court meeting in early February, Zongzheng Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple jointly played a concert. Gao Wanhong, the son of the loyal prince, seriously injured the supervisor of the Imperial Academy, robbed the women of the people, and besieged and killed the imperial court officials. There are countless crimes, and the evidence is conclusive.

The emperor made a decree to dismiss Viscount Gao Wanhong, demote him to a commoner, and hand him over to Zongzheng Temple for discipline.According to the statistics of the Ministry of Punishment, the loss of the people killed by Gao Wanhong will be compensated ten times by Zhongxin Wangfu.Shuntian Mansion and Wucheng soldiers and horses were negligent in their duties, each was fined for one year, and the official was demoted to one level to stay in the post to see the effect.

On the night when the imperial decree was issued, Zongzheng Temple suddenly caught fire, and Gao Wanhong, who was punished in it, was buried in a sea of ​​flames. It is said that his whole body was burnt black and could not be identified at all. Only from the gold belt on the body, he could be identified as Gao Wanhong, the son of the former loyal prince.

Faithful Wang Gao Yongyi fainted on the spot after hearing the news.After waking up, in front of the imperial doctor and the visiting emperor, he chanted: "Cooking beans burns Osmunda, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They grow from the same root, so why bother frying them?"

　Hibachi's dream is shattered, so let's write 7000 words first.Continue tomorrow, good night!
