Qing Dynasty Crossover

Chapter 41 Full Moon Banquet ([-])

Ling Zhu asked as he walked, "Is Ling Cheng the only one here? Is there anyone else?" "In addition to Mr. Tang, some of Mr. Tang's friends have also arrived." Ling Zhu knew that it meant Mr. Fu Cha and Mr. Qian.Ling Zhu quickened his pace and came to the living room. He saw Ling Cheng drinking tea leisurely and looking at the furnishings in the room. Fu Cha and Ling Zhu's few friends who were not very high-ranking officials in the Ministry of War were talking about what Ling Zhu's friend's reputation was. They are not obvious, and they have no real power, so Ling Cheng doesn't like them.Seeing this, Ling Zhu quickly cupped his fists and saluted them, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late, I'll drink and apologize later."

Fu Cha booed and said, "You thought you could be spared? You are a very happy son. I'm sorry if I don't drive you into a daze, my nephew. Brothers, do you think so?" "Yes, yes, yes. , must let Ling Zhu drink more, he used to be too slippery when treating guests to drinks, this time we can't let him pass by." These people are not very senior, they are all soldiers, they are not so particular, they are very bold.Ling Zhu also hits it off with them, so their relationship is very good.

Ling Cheng saw that these friends of Ling Zhu were not only low-ranking officials, but also businessmen.He felt that Ling Zhu's friendship was very problematic.Ling Cheng didn't bother to get along with these vulgar people, so he seemed very lonely in the lively atmosphere.Ling Zhu said with a smile all over his face, "Brothers, let's talk first, let's make trouble later."

Ling Zhu came in front of Ling Cheng, looked at the haughty Ling Cheng, and said enthusiastically, "Cousin is here early?"

"Well, you have already had a son-in-law, so you should be more prudent. You should work hard and avoid messing around with those hopeless fools. I heard that you were transferred to the Ministry of War and thought you had figured it out? Useful friend."

Ling Zhu suppressed his smile, "Cousin still doesn't know me? I'm a person with no big ambitions, not as ambitious as my cousin. I am very happy with my friends. I like this kind of life. Cousin doesn't have to worry about me."

Ling Cheng persuaded, "Don't you think about your children? Who doesn't know that the eighth elder brother is wise, and besides, can I make you suffer? Look at the current situation. After all, it is your son-in-law full moon. No one with a higher status? If you listen to me, can you be so deserted?"

Ling Zhu said nonchalantly, "I make friends because I want to have similar interests, and it's not because of their identities? I'm different from my cousin, and I can't serve those noble people with my temper. Today my son is full moon, and my cousin came to have a drink." I am very happy for the full moon wine. As for the matter of taking refuge with the eighth elder brother, I have already said that my eighth elder brother, who has a small official position and a low position, does not like it. I am not as talented as you, and I do not want to honor my ancestors. It’s good like this.” Ling Zhu felt that Ling Cheng and the others looked down on the small officials and had no foresight, and sometimes the people who do small things are very important. Aren’t the orders from above all the low-level officials?Besides, Ling Zhu really likes to get along with these people. Their personalities are more enthusiastic and unrestrained, they don't have so many twists and turns, and they are more loyal.

Ling Cheng looked at the resolute Ling Zhu and sighed, "Okay, I won't say these words again, I just hope you don't regret it in the future. I have some headaches and I'll go back first."

Ling Zhu knew that Ling Cheng was uncomfortable, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore, besides, it was inconvenient for him to be here, "Then my cousin should go back to rest earlier, I don't have anything important, after all, my cousin has a heavy responsibility. It's better to have a good rest."

After sending Ling Cheng away, Ling Zhu couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. According to the historical process, it is now the 39th year of Kangxi, and the storm of leaving and abolishing the prince may have formed. Ling Zhu doesn't know the specific reason for abolishing the prince, but he thinks Eight princes must be the promoter of this storm.Ling Cheng, as the Eighth Prince's subordinate, will definitely participate in it, and it is right for him to stay away from him now.There was already a banquet in the room, Fu Cha Guangjin, feeling Luo Shuyi, they were already lively, and they were more relaxed without Ling Cheng present, Boss Qian is a good sociable person, so he got along well with these little officials. Very harmonious.In fact, Ling Cheng didn't know that although they were small officials, many of them came from aristocratic families, but they were not conspicuous now.

Fu Cha Guangjin grabbed Ling Zhu and said loudly, "You're not righteous! Go talk to Ling Cheng, and you've knocked all my brothers down here. What do you think we should do?"

Ling Zhu smiled and said, "Didn't I treat you as outsiders? It's not that you don't know that my cousin and I don't have a good relationship. It's already condescending for him to come. If he doesn't treat you well, he will have a lot of money and power now." Big one, I can't afford to offend you!"

Jue Luo Shuyi said disdainfully, "It's right that you and Ling Chengyuan are together. You look at your cousin's aloofness, as if no one is as good as him. He is like this in front of us, but he is not like that in front of those noble people. Mei I hate this kind of people when they look up and are arrogant."

Ling Zhu smiled and didn't speak. Although he didn't agree with Ling Cheng's actions, he was still not used to speaking ill of his relatives.Jue Luo Shuyi was born in the red belt, but he was a little bit far from the same clan, but he still has some background.Jue Luo Shuyi and Fu Cha Guangjin are very good friends. After Fu Cha Guangjin and Ling Zhu made friends, he introduced them to each other. After getting along, they felt that their temperaments were similar, and the relationship became close. "Okay, let's not talk about him. Anyway, cousin Ling Cheng and I are just getting on with each other, and what happens to him in the future has nothing to do with me. What are we doing talking about those disappointing things?"

"That's right, Ling Zhu, you also have a son, how is it? Does it feel different to have a son?" Fu Cha Guangjin asked.

Ling Zhu said with a happy face, "Although I have Qi Huan, the birth of this son really feels different to me. This is the son I have been looking forward to for a long time. It feels like a treasure I can't tell."

Boss Qian said, "That's right, my son is the continuation of my bloodline. It seems that I can give everything for him and I don't regret it."

Ling Zhu disagreed and said, "My daughter is also a continuation of my life, and I can sacrifice everything for my daughter."

Boss Qian patted his head, "I forgot, you are a person who loves daughters as much as you want, but you are well now, you have both sons and daughters, your daughter is smart and beautiful, and your son is also very cute. You are a lucky person."

Ling Zhu sighed, "Yes, I have to work hard just because I have both sons and daughters."

Jue Luo Shuyi asked, "Why? Are you interested in going on tour with the emperor? I said it might as well be in the capital? Going on tour with the emperor is not as good as I imagined. Not to mention the hardships, what might happen? If you offend There is no noble person to speak for you."

Ling Zhu took a sip of wine and said, "I know what you said, but I can't be so decadent for the sake of my child's future, can I? Besides, a good man should make contributions. What's the point of following those noble people's career? It's not for me to bow and kneel character."

Fu Chaguang slapped the table and said loudly, "Okay, I just like your personality, like a nobleman of our Manchu family, you can't be arrogant, but you can't be without backbone. Those training bannermen you told me The method is very effective, and it will definitely surprise them after a while. The man you introduced to me is called Yang Kang. He is a talent. He is good at martial arts, and his strategy of war is also very good. It saves me to have him help me. I have a lot of things to do. Shu Yi, you have a lot of connections, just help Ling Zhu, I appreciate him for his willingness to fight for the future of his children."

Jue Luoshu wanted to say, "This matter is easy to handle. Since you want to fight for your future, it is better to be in front of the emperor. I think Ling Zhu, you might as well spend some money as a bodyguard. That will not only be closer to the emperor, but also to those who A prince and elder brother are also close, you are someone who has studied military training, are you afraid that no one will appreciate it?"

Ling Zhu knew that although entering the palace as a bodyguard was a shortcut, the palace was too complicated and could not be settled with Ling Zhu's current qualifications.So Ling Zhu shook his head, "The situation is so complicated now, and I have a straight temper, which can easily offend people. Although I want to fight for a better future, wouldn't it be unfair to lose my life to enjoy myself?"

"It seems that you are a sensible person. The current situation is indeed too complicated. If you are not careful, you will fall into it. Those princes and elder brothers are not simple characters. The current emperor is a generation of holy masters. We little fish It's safer for Xiao Xia to stand aside." Jue Luo Shuyi talked and drank, and through the conversation, Jue Luo Shuyi felt that Ling Zhu was a nice person, a worthy one, completely different from his cousin.His military training methods are very novel and very effective. It seems that he has real talents and practical knowledge. What's more, Ling Zhu has a very clear understanding of the situation in front of him, and understands his own importance.If you associate with smart people, at least you won't be dragged into it.Jue Luo Shuyi filled the glass with wine, raised the glass and said, "Since you want to go on tour with the emperor, you must prepare well. If you have the opportunity to perform, you must not miss it. Brothers, I wish you You can have a smooth future."

Fu Cha Guangjin also raised his glass and said, "Yes, I wish your wish come true. Cheers!"

Ling Zhu knew that this meant that Jue Luoshu was willing to speak for him, so he quickly picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with them, saying, "Thank you guys, I will never forget you. Cheers!"

Boss Qian was very fortunate to be able to make friends with Ling Zhu. Ling Zhu's idea not only made him rich, but also won praise from his master.The most important thing is that Ling Zhu is completely equal to him when interacting with him, and he doesn't look down on him at all.I used to think that Ling Zhu's official status was not very high, and he didn't have much influence, but today I found out that although the friends Ling Zhu made seemed not very high-ranking, their backgrounds seemed to be very complicated.The most important thing is that the eighth elder brother Fujin and Prince Yu's son seem to value Ling Zhu's daughter very much, especially the way Prince Yu saw her playing the piano. Boss Qian thinks that this little girl will be very difficult in the future .Boss Qian also raised his glass and said, "Then I wish Master Ling all the best and a bright future. Cheers!"

Ling Zhu's wish to go on tour with the emperor was fulfilled at Qi Jue's full moon wine. Is this double happiness?Ling Zhu, a dishonest butterfly, flapped its wings again, and the formation of a hurricane didn't look too far away.
