Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 9
Old man Chen is not a person who is afraid of things, but his two sons have not yet married, so he has to think more, but what Duhu thinks is much simpler. If you don't let me live, I won't let you have a better life. Fight that.

After listening to Shen Qing's words, Li Jing thought that the Shen family really had a reputation, and knew that the Chen family had been dragged in.

However, he frowned and said: "What happened today is all because of me, and I am responsible for it alone. Is it possible that they still want to do something to my uncle's family?"

Shen Qing shook his head: "Brother, I saw your skills just now, not to mention a few evil slaves, even if the army is here, as long as there are not too many people, it is not easy to catch you, let alone the servants of the yamen ? They can't deal with you, so they will naturally deal with your relatives and friends. Although you don't want to involve them, there are some things that you can't control!"

Li Jing bowed his head and pondered for a while, then turned to old man Chen and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I've caused everyone trouble."

"Stinky boy, what nonsense are you talking about. What are you not getting involved? If it weren't for you today, everyone would still be able to drink and eat meat together? Look at the old man, I am blessed and can enjoy it. Is there anyone who can't be difficult? The old man's age Yes, half of it has already been buried in the soil, I am afraid that he will ask for it, but Erhu is still young and injured, as long as he can be put in place, the old man has no fear of death!" Old man Chen said loudly.

"Father, I haven't married a wife yet? Can I go through trouble with you after I marry a wife?" Chen Dahu answered.

"You bastard..." Old man Chen pointed at Dumb, so angry that he didn't know what to do.

Shen Qing twirled his beard, looked at Li Jing again, and said, "Actually, you don't have to wait here for the Xu family to come to your door. According to the art of war, 36 strategies are the best strategy. Now that you have money, you still have nothing to worry about." Can I go?"

Old man Chen was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, he sighed and said: "What you said is reasonable, but the old man's family has no distant relatives, and no one to go to. He doesn't even know where to go!"

Hearing old man Chen say that there was nowhere to go, Shen Qing's heart moved, and he took a sneak peek at Li Jing, seeing Li Jing's expressionless face, he muttered and said: "Everyone, Shen has a farm in other places that is still short of people to take care of it. If you don't dislike it, how about going to some place in Shen to submit?"

The Shen family is very well-known in the surrounding counties. They are willing to do good deeds, and have done a lot of things such as building bridges and paving roads. The reputation of the people has always been very good.

Old man Chen didn't think too much about it, he thought that the Shen family was really short of people and had nowhere to go at this moment, and it would be a good choice to go to the Shen residence to work, so he agreed immediately.

Li Jing naturally had no objection to this, if he wanted to keep the Chen family, he had to be with the Shen family, the old man Chen's willingness to agree was much better than his persuasion.

It just so happened that today's affairs were all in Li Jing's previous plan, so of course he directly agreed.

Now Shen Qing and old man Chen made an agreement that they would send someone to pick up old man Chen's family the next morning to Shen's residence.

After returning to the mansion, seeing that the entire Shen mansion was busy, Shen Qing was not surprised: "Why don't you sleep?"

Shen Qing didn't ask too many questions, and rushed to the main hall.Seeing Shen Zheng, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother, I'm back, and I bought bear bile!"

Shen Zhengwen was overjoyed when he heard this: "Well done! Come here and make medicine for the old man."

After buying the bear bile, Shen Zheng immediately felt relieved, and asked casually, "Did you meet anyone from the Xu family?"

"Meet it!" Shen Qing nodded, and then briefly explained the process of buying bear bile.

Hearing that Shen Qing had invited old man Chen's family to work, Shen Zheng sighed and said, "Third brother, you are so confused! After today, my Shen family and Xu family are already in conflict. If you invite those country people, the Xu family will be in trouble." Now that I know, I have a reason to attack the Shen family!"

"I'm sorry big brother, but my little brother didn't think well. But if there wasn't that person, the bear bile would have been snatched by the Xu family." Shen Qing repeated the process of Li Jing's action: "Brother, that person is really powerful! I thought , Our family used to spend money to hire escorts when we went out to buy goods. Sometimes we encountered bandits and bandits, and we would inevitably lose some property. This person is so skillful. where you can get it.”

Shen Zhengwen listened, pondered for a while and said: "What you said is also reasonable, so invite it. But Lin County's hometown can't stay here anymore. I have ordered your second brother to pack up the belongings overnight. Let's go to Kaifeng and leave in the morning. You arrange Several carts, the people who will pick up the Chen family tomorrow will go directly to Kaifeng."

"Yes! Big brother!" Shen Qing responded.

……

After Shen Qing led the people away, Li Jing handed over the money to old man Chen: "Uncle, you keep the money!"

Seeing Li Jing take out a pile of silver ingots, old man Chen was startled: "This, so many?"

Old man Chen had never seen such a big ingot in his life. This time, he saw so many ingots at once, and his eyes were straightened.

Li Jingwen listened, smiled and said nothing.

"No! You hunted this bear, how can you give me all the money?" Old man Chen hurriedly refused.

"Take it! We are a family, what is yours and mine?" Li Jing smiled and handed the money to old man Chen.

At the moment when he put the money, Li Jing obviously felt that Old Man Chen's hands were trembling when receiving the money.

"Really give it to me?" Old man Chen looked at the money in his hand, still not convinced.

Li Jingzhong nodded emphatically, and said with a smile: "It's for you! Now the money is yours!"

"Oh!" Old man Chen nodded in a daze, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "No, Dahu's brothers also put in a lot of effort today, so I have to share some with them."

"Hehe, your money is up to you, I don't care how you divide it." Li Jing laughed.

"Then I'll make the decision?" Old Man Chen asked again.

"It's up to you! You're up to it!" Li Jingjing nodded.

"Okay! Since you let me make the decision, then I will make the decision! Come on! Move the table up! Divide the money!" Old Man Chen said.

When Duhu heard this, he hurriedly moved the table up. Old man Chen put the money on the table and asked everyone to sit around the table. Then, old man Chen looked at the money, counted half of the money, and pushed it in front of Li Jing: "This is the money." is yours!"

Li Jing smiled and didn't move.

Old man Chen counted the remaining silver to three and put it in front of himself: "This is mine!"

Finally, he pushed the rest to Da Zhuang and the others: "These few, one for each of you."

Seeing that old man Chen finished distributing the money quickly, Li Jing was deeply moved: what a simple old man!They are so poor that they can still distribute the money they got.

After thinking about it, Li Jing set aside one of the coins in front of him, and pushed the rest to old man Chen.

"Uncle, watch these for me! Don't let Big Tiger steal them." After speaking, Li Jing laughed.

As for the remaining ingot of silver, he wanted to give it to Zhang Ao.

Chen Dazhuang and others never expected that old man Chen would give them money, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing that they were not moving, Li Jing smiled, picked up the ingots and put one in each hand, patted the shoulder of Da Zhuang beside him, then got up and said: "Brothers, don't think too much, put away the money and help uncle Work, we're moving soon."

Only then did everyone remember what the current business was.

Seeing a lot of sundries to be taken away, old man Chen scratched his head: "Nephew, don't you bring too much?"

Li Jingwen was sweating profusely when he heard this, and said in his heart: "You just know! We're going out to escape disaster, so it's not cumbersome to bring so many things!"

But Li Jing also knows that the old man loves his family. The things in front of him may have been saved by the old man all his life, so he is really reluctant to throw them away.

Li Jing patted old man Chen on the back lightly and said, "Uncle, don't we take some things with us? The Shen family doesn't lack these things."

Old man Chen stared blankly at the pile of sundries in front of him, and suddenly stomped his feet: "No! No more!"

……

Its daybreak.

Old man Chen cut a piece of silver with scissors, weighed it to about five taels, and handed it to Zhuzi, who asked him to go to Ma Langzhong to settle the consultation fee.

He took out another ingot of silver and asked Dahu to give it to his in-laws.He also taught Duhu how to speak, and only said that the whole family was going to visit distant relatives, and he was afraid that he would not be able to come back for a while, and that the marriage would be postponed for a while, and the money was regarded as a dowry gift.At the same time, I told Du Hu not to reveal what happened last night. If the in-laws knew that they beat the Xu family last night, the marriage would most likely be prostitution.

Then old man Chen went to the neighbor's house again and entrusted the two mu of land to the neighbor.

Not long after old man Chen came back, Zhu Zi came back and handed over the remaining silver to old man Chen.

After a while, the Shen residence sent people to pick up Old Chen's family.

Old man Chen greeted them, and asked everyone to carry the two tigers to the cart that Shen's mansion came over, and then loaded the luggage, food and other things into the cart. Da Zhuang and others saw that they had nothing to do with them before returning home.

However, since Chen Dahu has not come back, he cannot leave for the time being. Seeing the old man Chen circling in the yard anxiously, Li Jing said, "Uncle, Erhu is injured, why don't you and Erhu go with Shen's house for a few days?" The eldest brother will go first, I will wait here for Brother Big Tiger."

Seeing that Erhu was depressed, old man Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Erhu and I will go first, that brat Dahu, wait for him to come back and see how I deal with him."

The people from the Shen family had already received the orders from the uncle of the Shen family, and they all knew that what the Shen family really needed was Li Jing, and the Chen family was just passing it along.But as long as he can pick up the Chen family, Li Jing will definitely follow him.

At the moment, one person was left waiting, and the rest drove the cart first.

After a while, Dug didn't come back, but Da Zhuang and Zhu Zi rushed over.

Li Jing thought they were here to see them off, so he said that old man Chen took Erhu and left first, and asked them to go back.

Unexpectedly, these five people wanted to go with Li Jing.

It turned out that after these people returned home and handed over the money to their parents, they all said that they wanted to leave with Old Man Chen's family, that they wanted to learn from Li Jing, and they told what happened to Old Man Chen's family last night.

These old people also knew that their son would never be able to make a living in such a place. If he hangs out with someone like Li Jing, he might really stand out one day.

Even if he can't make any big promises, he will at least have money when he arrives at Shen's residence. The key is to see the world and gain knowledge.

After a little thought, the old people agreed.

So these five people hurried over again.
