The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 145
But the people in Old Xiongling are famous for their poverty, but they are also well known for their toughness.Now that he has been bullied to the top, he doesn't look like he is reluctant to part with the money and bows his knees.

He walked to the center of the lobby step by step, and clapped his hands to signal many diners to look over.In the end, he bowed and saluted, and then said in a loud voice, "Dear guests, our restaurant has to close today due to some urgent matters. I'm really sorry. You won't receive any money for meals. Another day, let our restaurant get through the crisis , Liu will definitely come to the door to apologize, and then hold a big banquet to apologize to all the distinguished guests. Today, please go back first."

"What is this nonsense?"

All the diners heard it suddenly, some of them thought they were drunk and hallucinating, and when they saw the companion next to them, they also looked puzzled, and then they shouted, "Shopkeeper Liu, what happened, everyone is eating right How lively is it?"

Liu Xiaodao refused to speak, but smiled wryly and apologized to everyone.In the end, I went up to the second floor and apologized from box to box.

Everyone had no choice, the restaurant was going to be closed, and they didn't have to pay any money, so they could only break up with curiosity.

Soon, the hotpot restaurant, which had its doors and windows wide open in winter, closed the windows and closed the doors under the guidance and discussion of everyone, so that it was completely covered, as if it hadn't opened its doors for business at all today.

Everyone in the world has curiosity, and many people don't understand the business of making money every day, so why just shut it down.Do you dislike silver biting your hand?
Some people didn't go home anymore, they went directly to the opposite teahouse, and while gossiping, they sent the servants at home to inquire about the news.

The servants were also helpless, beaming at the front door, they couldn't get in, so they guarded the back door, and sure enough, a few women came out crying soon.

A few dimes of silver were stuffed in, and the already angry women added more embellishments to Lu Laoer's words.

At the end, he scolded, "You said that the general from Kyoto is too worthless. To visit someone's house and even spoil his girl and rob him of his livelihood is shameless!"

"That's right, he's not allowed to bully his own daughter, and he's going to sell her to a brothel to be a flower girl. He also said to let the Lu family go whoring, oh, it's worse than animals!"

After hearing such explosive news, the servant and his followers couldn't bear it any longer, and almost trotted all the way back to the teahouse.

Soon, the news spread throughout the teahouse, and then slowly spread to the whole city.

Old Xiongling, for the past two years has been the main topic of conversation among the people of Bei'an City after dinner.After all, the original poor mountains and ravines, where no girls were willing to marry, turned over in the blink of an eye.I heard that every household on the mountain has work to do, and there is meat to eat every day. The naughty boys don't even need to buy paper, ink, brushes and inkstones at home.That is, the girls have special nuns who teach them how to write, calculate and behave.

In autumn, the vermicelli banquet that is popular in the city is produced in Laoxiongling's workshop.One tael of silver per catty is like stealing money.

Nowadays, every household grows vegetables, the Xiyangyang restaurant is prosperous, and as much greenery is on the dining table of the big family, the old Xiongling has as much silver as it puts into the money box.

I don't know how many girls are staring at the youngsters of Lao Xiong Ling. The matchmaker has to go to Lao Xiong Ling every day, but it's a pity that they don't accept outsiders at all.The younger generation did not have the intention of marrying a daughter-in-law, they were all focused on learning crafts and doing business with the Lu family.

In the end, this good day just started, why did it encounter difficulties again?
Some people are curious, some people sigh, some people gloat, and of course more people choose to wait and see and watch the excitement.

But no one wanted to add insult to injury, people's hearts have always bullied the good and feared the evil, after all, with the matter of Master Sui in front, Lao Xiongling is not easy to bully.Who knows how this will end up.

Everyone was looking forward to it, hoping that the team of soldiers who added a bit of shameless color to the word "Kyoto" would enter the city.

But there is no one on the left, and no news on the right.Seeing that the curfew was approaching, everyone went home full of curiosity.

In the restaurant, shopkeeper Chen also rushed over after hearing the news. The knife made people boil tea and light candles, and they all gathered in the lobby to wait for the news.

At this moment, he was also wondering, did Wei Desheng suddenly wake up and lead his troops to change the course?
In fact, Lu Erer overestimated the skills of the "elite soldiers" in Kyoto. People in the north often walk in the wind and snow. Those who have horses at home drive the sledge. Those who dislike trouble have to tie two wooden boards under their shoes. It is not easy to fall into the snow pit, and it is more convenient to walk.

But the elite soldiers from the capital did not understand. The carriage Wei Desheng was riding in was stuck in snow pits several times. into town.

Wei Desheng was so cold that his nose burst into tears, and a certain organ did not weaken even so. He was annoyed and cursed, but finally gave in, wrapped in a cotton jacket and cloak, and got on the horse's back. He was almost frozen into a popsicle along the way. Saw the walls of North Shore City.

But at this time, the city gate was closed.The soldiers guarding the city gates were not as disciplined as those of the Kyoto City Defense Battalion, and they had no idea where to hide to keep warm and drink.

Captain Wang led people to smash it for a long time before someone poked his head out of the wall tremblingly and asked, "Who is it, why are you knocking at night?"

Lieutenant Wang was also furious, and shouted directly, "Open your dog eyes and see, we are ordered to patrol the border, so hurry up and open the door!"

The soldier held up the torch, opened his half-drunk eyes and watched for a while, but there was no shadow again.

Fortunately, more people gathered soon...

By the time the city gate creaked open, the two hundred elite soldiers had froze like dead dogs.Everyone rushed to stuff these poor colleagues into the city tower to warm up, and then rushed to the government office to report the news.

Governor Zhao Zhigao has been living in fear ever since he kicked Master Sui's blame, fearing that one day the official document will come down, his good days will be over.

After such a long time, he couldn't help being a little irritable. Tonight, he found a concubine who was pleasing to the eye, drinking and having fun. Xiongfeng was not there, so it took a long while before he got dressed and opened the door, and immediately asked, "Is there an official letter from Beijing?"

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, and finally reported quickly, "No, sir, someone from Kyoto is here!"

"Idiot!" Zhao Zhigao was terrified, and slapped him with a slap, "Isn't it the same to come from the capital and the official document?"

The housekeeper was particularly aggrieved, and he covered his cheeks and said vaguely, "Master, the people from Kyoto are not delivering official documents, they are guerrilla generals patrolling the border defense, and they brought two hundred elite soldiers."

"What general?"

Hearing that Zhao Zhigao had nothing to do with him, as if he had been lifted up from hell to the human world suddenly, he suddenly regained his spirits, "Where is the man?"

"I heard that he is the heir of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and now he is a guerrilla general. He is at the south gate and will be coming soon."

Zhao Zhigao slapped his forehead, remembering that he had indeed received an official letter a while ago, but Wei Desheng was walking and playing, and the time dragged on for too long, and he had long since forgotten it.

"Then hurry up and prepare the guest room and banquet, and open the door to welcome you."

The concubine knew that the master had business to do, so she also went to the ground to help pass clothes, shoes and socks, and waited on Zhao Zhigao to dress neatly. At this time, someone outside the door reported, "General Wei has arrived."

Zhao Zhigao greeted him all the way to the gate, just in time to see two hundred soldiers guarding the carriage of his own mansion, the carriages drove off, and jumped out of a very distressed young man, who had no armor and no saber on his waist, which made him wait for a while. A little dazed.

Unexpectedly, the young master cursed angrily, "The poor mountains and bad waters, I'm so mad at you!"

Lieutenant Wang hurriedly passed the steps to Zhao Zhigao, and went forward to salute, "Master Fu Yin, this is our General Wei, who came here on patrol. The road encountered wind and snow, and I was late for a few days. Please don't blame me."

"Oh, Shizi, please come inside."

Zhao Zhigao came to his senses and hurried to make amends, but Wei Desheng didn't even say a word, and walked in with a flick of his sleeve.

Marquis Weiyuan ranks first rank, has a distinguished status, and has made great contributions to the Great Yuan. Zhao Zhigao naturally respects him.But Wei Desheng is just a son, he got a lot of care through his father's shadow, in essence he is just a small guerrilla general.

But Zhao Zhigao is the prefect of Bei'an Prefecture, one of his parents, he put down his figure like this and greeted him respectfully, but he didn't want to get such a big embarrassment.

Needless to say, Zhao Zhigao's face darkened immediately.But after all, he often rolled around in the officialdom, so he immediately covered it up again, and invited Tang Ershao and Wang Xiaowei into the mansion.

The other [-] elite soldiers had already been led to settle down by the servants.

The short mountain road of more than ten miles was the most difficult section since everyone traveled north. The armor of the soldiers was crooked, their ears were numb from the cold, and their hands and feet were a little out of control.At this moment, I was so angry that I wanted to curse a few words, but I didn't know who to curse.

Is he scolding the greedy and lustful Shangguan, or scolding the old Xiongling villagers who are tough and guarding their girls?
Wei Desheng didn't care about these things, he was kicked out of the house in embarrassment for the first time in his life, and he was "treated poorly" by the untouchables, which made him feel ashamed and humiliated.

Almost as soon as he was introduced into the hall by the housekeeper, he dropped a teacup, which happened to hit Zhao Zhigao's feet, making the annoyance in his eyes even worse.

He endured and endured, and finally asked, "I don't know what I did wrong, which made Shizi so angry?"

Wei Desheng was stunned for a moment before realizing that this was not his home, but Tang Ershao, who came in later, hurried to help, "Master Zhao misunderstood, the son of the world just suffered a lot because of a circle of untouchables, and now he is angry, it is not Why are you dissatisfied with Mr. Zhao's warm treatment of each other?"

"Untouchables?" Zhao Zhigao was secretly happy, but his face was full of surprise, "I don't know where the common people are, who have offended the son so much? But there are bandits on the road?"

"No," Tang Ershao was also very tired. The cold wind on the road almost blew through his bones just now. Seeing the servant girl serve hot tea, he took a sip first, but before he continued, what Bian Wei Desheng has already grabbed the maidservant's hand.

"I'm so uncomfortable, hurry up and find a room for me to vent my anger."
