Chapter 13 Wedding (1)

Yu Mansion.

There are 500 acres of fertile land in the Yu Mansion. Although it is not a wealthy person, it is a scholarly family that has been passed down from generation to generation. The most important is literary style and ethics. There are two stone lions at the gate in the south of the county town, which is exactly the style that everyone has.

A young man got off the car at the door and handed a greeting to the door.

When the door saw that he was an acquaintance, he was very attentive and said, "Young Master Xiao, please come in, and I'll report it now."

Sure enough, one person urgently reported, and the other person introduced him to the side hall to entertain and serve him in tea, which was very thoughtful.

In a courtyard, a young man was studying. Suddenly he heard footsteps, without raising his head, and asked slowly: "What's the matter, so panicked?"

"Young Master, Young Master Xiao wants to see you!" The servant replied.

"Why are you here?" The young man heard this, put down the teacup, touched his chin, and said to himself: "Does the teacher have any other thoughts?"

This young man was Tian Ji's first disciple Yu Liangbo, and the person who came was the second disciple Xiao Shaode.

Yu Liangbo was wearing casual clothes, with a leisurely expression, and a faint light in his eyes. After listening to the servant’s report, Yu Liangbo pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, “I’ll go now!”

He took a few steps, turned back and said to the servant, "What a big deal to do if you change your impatience in the future."

The servant hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the smallest ones will definitely change!"

When I walked to the side hall, I saw it.

"Junior Brother Xiao, I can't believe it for my brother just now. I didn't expect that it was really Junior Brother. Where did you come from?" Yu Liangbo walked over with a smile and said enthusiastically.

Both of them were celebrating each other.

"I came from my master and told me about something." Xiao Shaode looked weak and said with a smile.

"Oh? Is that right?" He looked at Xiao Shaode deeply, and Yu Liangbo showed a playful smile on his face, and said to the inside: "Then let's talk about it in detail... Are they?"

He looked at the three guards following Xiao Shaode. Their demeanors were not ordinary servants.

"They are the ones who escorted me here at home. Recently, there are some thieves on the road. Senior brother should have heard of it. It is not too safe to walk alone." Xiao Shaode said.

"Yeah, I heard of it, but it's not a big deal!" Yu Liangbo shook his head and smiled, then called a slave and asked him to call the three of them to rest.

He and Xiao Shaode came to the back and sat in a small hall with guests and guests. Someone served tea. For a while, they were silent and only drank tea.

"Senior brother, are you still worried?" Xiao Shaode asked.

"Well, some, I know the master is for my own good, but I'm a little confused."

"A few months ago, Wang Shoutian sent someone to seek talent, but the master stopped him, but he didn't take it seriously, but his father had some opinions... At the top, everyone knew that the general had no son and chose three nephews, one of which must be adopted as his son and followed him."

"The situation was confused, but now everyone has seen some clues. My father is very angry!" Yu Liangbo said leisurely.

In his previous life, the three brothers of the Wang family were the same and avoided Zhengding County. The tired old Jiedushi went to battle with illness. All three of them were despised and had a very low evaluation.

Therefore, Tian Ji asked two apprentices not to take office, so it was easy to achieve.

But at this time, Wang Shoutian turned defeat into victory and killed Chen Xiang, which was very obvious.

Wang Shoutian silently farmed and trained troops in the next six months, and his evaluation was further improved.

Although there are some inappropriate points, they have already stood out.

Therefore, Tian Ji blocked him without notifying him and rebounded.

The Yu Mansion is a big family, and no matter how good the master and apprentice are, it is not as great as the family's interests. Besides, it is not the turn of Yu Liangbo to speak in the family.

"Although Wang Shoutian was lucky and made great contributions, he might not have inherited it." Xiao Shaode said quickly. His family background was much younger and younger. Correspondingly, the rebound was much less, and he said in a defensive manner.

"The junior brother's news and insight are a little less. If this is the case, it is not enough to judge. But you see, Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Zhongyi have been almost completely idle for the past six months. Do you know what this means?" Yu Liangbo asked.

Xiao Shaode was a smart person and suddenly changed color slightly.

Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Zhongyi are both sons and nephews of the Wang family. Even if they have a fixed number, it is impossible to do anything about it. The commander is still not a royal family.

The best way is to be idle, on the one hand, do nothing, and on the other hand, it is prosperous. At that time, everyone will see the gap, and then kowtow, set the title, and even make the major event.

Want to go against the will of heaven? I’m not afraid of such a person.

Now the coach's intention has gradually been figured out.

"Forget it, senior brother, you come this time, what's the point of the master?"

"Li Chengye is said to have obtained the Grand Marshal and is engaged. He married his adopted daughter on the 15th of the New Year. The master hopes that you and I will celebrate together."

"Did the Li family? The master chose the Li family? Although the Li family has some family background and some reputation, they are just a county magistrate. Why does the master like the Li family?" Yu Liangbo knocked on the table, thinking about it.

"What does senior brother mean?"

"Go, of course, go. Since the master has asked, I will be my first disciple, so why don't you go? It's just a celebration anyway!" Yu Liangbo said indifferently.

Xiao Shaode opened his mouth and wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, he closed it again.

Tian Ji originally implied the meaning, he didn't believe that his senior brother couldn't see it, but Yu Liangbo obviously did not have the attitude of obeying the order.

But then again, this is not a trivial matter, it is a major event that concerns the future of the family or even life and death. Even if Tian Ji is the master, it is impossible to make a decision in this regard.

"By the way, I heard that Junior Brother Xue has already gone to Wang Shoutian's place."

"Senior brother, he is just a magistrate now!"

"Junior brother, Xue Yuan is just a villager and has no family background. He will become an official when he can go there. In fact, it is not a pity to manage 500 households. It can be seen that Wang Shoutian values ​​him." Yu Liangbo raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled slightly, and said, "Now Jishui County is in order. I think he is afraid that the promotion will be between May next year."

May is the season for winter wheat harvest.

"Senior Brother!" Xiao Shaode couldn't help but interrupt the topic and said, "Since the senior brother has agreed, we will go to celebrate together at the fifteenth."

After hearing this, Yu Liangbo smiled faintly and said, "Okay, then it's decided!"

At this moment, a housekeeper came in and said, "The master was very happy to know that Mr. Xiao is coming. Please go with Mr. Xiao."

After hearing this, the two bowed to the butler, followed him along the way, passing through several arches, bypassing the long corridor, and entering the main hall where they met guests.

There is a middle-aged man with a pretty face in the hall drinking tea.

"Sir Father!"

"My foolish nephew Xiao Shaode has met Uncle Yu Shishi!" As soon as the two entered the door, they saluted respectfully.

Yu Zhao was very energetic and calm. With a smile on his face, he waved his two children to get up with a smile, stroked his long beard, stared at Xiao Shaode and looked at him carefully, nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for only half a year, and your nephew is becoming more and more elegant. Mr. Tian is really good at teaching!"

"You are so despicable, and you really don't dare to praise him like this." Xiao Shaode said: "This is the master's teaching, and it is also the point of the uncle."

Yu Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "You and my family have always been dating. After meeting each other last time, they have been together for half a year, but why didn't they come to the mansion to visit me?"

Xiao Shaode quickly smiled and said, "I would like to forgive my fault. The boy is weak and has been infected with cold weather recently, so I came to visit you."

"Well, the boy should eat more and move more. By the way, is the old lady in good health?" Yu Zhao asked with concern.

"My mother is still good!" Xiao Shaode replied respectfully.

In this way, after half an hour, Yu Zhao finished his politeness. When it comes to his point, he just heard him say: "What poems does Mr. Tian have recently?"

Xiao Shaode replied respectfully: "Uncle Shi, the master has been busy with his teaching recently and has no poetry. Kaiming magistrate Li Cunyi is a master's friend. His son is going to get married and is the adopted daughter of the Grand Marshal. This time he came to ask Uncle Shi and his senior brother to go there."

"What Mr. Tian said, how can I disobey it easily? It's just that I have something to do recently and can't go there. Let's do it, Bo'er, just go there for me once!" Yu Zhao said calmly, not happy or angry.

After hearing this, Yu Liangbo had no choice but to respond.

There is nothing wrong, so I will say some gossip and say goodbye.

Halfway through the garden, I glanced at Xiao Shaode's expression, and Yu Liangbo said helplessly: "Junior brother, do you still have some prejudice against me? We are brothers who have been studying together since childhood, but this matter is really important and I can't decide."

"Thank you." After hearing this, Xiao Shaode still bowed and thanked him.

"Forget it, I've learned that your temper. Let's go together then!" Xiao Shaode's temper was a little helpless, so Yu Liangbo sent Xiao Shaode to the door.

With each other's grace, Xiao Shaode rode a ox cart and gradually moved away.

Almost at the same time, the younger brother of these two people, Xue Yuan was patrolling the newly established porridge shed.

At this time, these refugees had already washed them, and had their simple coarse clothes distributed, and were temporarily arranged in the open space, waiting for bowls of porridge.

The porridge is rich and sweet. When these refugees first arrived, they were in a very miserable situation. They were dressed in rags, weak and full of fear. Under the servitude of hot porridge, they slowly relieved their emotions.

"I'll arrange to build a house tomorrow, and there are some bricks and wood." Seeing these people waiting in front of the porridge shed, Xue Yuan felt very uncomfortable. Half a year ago, although the Xue family was not as tragic as this, it was almost the same.

Therefore, the situation in front of him often makes him feel special.

At this time, at the city gate, several ox carts were driven in, carrying farm tools on them.

"Sir, fortunately, I have not been disgraced. This time I bought six oxen and a batch of farm tools." A small official came up to report.

Xue Yuan said in public with emotion: "With this batch of plowing oxen and farm tools, the people will have a way out. This is all the blessings and grace of the adults!"

After drinking the porridge, I took these people to the bulletin board outside the yamen. Naturally, someone told the rules here one by one, especially the future distribution and taxation of the land.
